When you're looking to save money sometimes it can be a little difficult to see the forest for the trees. Finding big things to cut back on is great, but sometimes you can end up saving more money by merely cutting back on a bunch of little things over time. So to help you make that happen, here are 7 ways to save money this month that can help you start putting a little money into your savings account today.
1. Carpool to Work – If you work in a place where several of your co-workers are on your route to work or vice versa, think about riding together to share the cost of a $200 gas bill a month. You could end up saving anywhere from ½ your gas bill to even more a month.
2. Brown Bag It – Sure, that Big Mac would be pretty tasty, but taking the time to make a homemade lunch everyday could help you to save upwards of $720 a year.
3. Stay In for the Weekend – Instead of going to see that movie at the theater this weekend and paying $40 after tickets and snacks, why not stay in and watch a movie on Netflix? Doing this twice a month can help you save more than $960 a month.
4. Start Cooking Your Meals – If you're a guy who gets his main meals from the local delivery place, start thinking about learning how to cook a little to help reduce your eating out costs each month. Even if you only cut back to 3 dinners out a week you could save more around $1,200 a month.
5. Turn Up the Cooler this Summer – Keeping your place nice and cool is nice during the heat of the summer, but doing so can end up sending your summer energy bill up by anywhere from $100-$400 a month based upon the size and energy usage of your home. Just by turning up the A/C up a few degrees while you aren't home during the day could save you significant portion of your energy bill.
6. Weatherize Your Home – Whether you rent or own, weatherizing your home can help to reduce the cost of your utility bill greatly. Weatherization includes things like installing double pane windows to keep out the heat during summer (or the cold during winter), installing weather stripping along doors/windows to ensure a tight seal, adding proper insulation in the attic and more. There are many free weatherization programs out there to help you pay for these repairs such as PG&E's Energy Savings Assistance Program.
7. Refurbish/Resale Used Items – If you have a lot of things around your home that you never use anymore such as old gym equipment, power tools, furniture, clothes, etc… why not think about selling those items and making a nice profit off of the sale? It is the summer so it is the perfect time for a weekend garage sale or you can use sites like Craigslist to connect with people looking for affordable/slightly used merchandise that they are in need of.

Why is unemployment high right now? Unemployed Americans blame the pandemic, not government payments
Linley SandersSenior Data Journalist
The United States is experiencing a labor shortage among restaurant and tourism industries, prompting speculation about the reason. Some theorize that potential workers are still needed at home or have ongoing health concerns, while others believe that federal unemployment benefits are too generous, and thus, incentivizing people to not work.
Americans who lost their jobs during the pandemic currently receive a $300-per-week federal supplement on top of standard unemployment insurance of $600 a week. Many states are looking to cut federal jobless benefits enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, a move that is expected to cease extra unemployment checks for millions of Americans this summer. Republican leaders are hopeful the move will send people back to work.
Data from the latest Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that three-quarters of Republicans (76%) believe that government payments are making it too easy for the unemployed to not work, compared to the one in five Republicans (20%) who say the pandemic is what makes it hard for Americans to find employment. Three in five Democrats (62%) blame the pandemic for the high levels of unemployment, rather than the government payments being too generous (24%).
Those who are currently unemployed (53%) are twice as likely to say that the pandemic makes it hard to find work, rather than government payments incentivizing unemployment (25%). Americans who are retired are twice as likely to believe the reverse: that government payments are keeping unemployed Americans off the clock (61% to 28%).
The early end to federal unemployment benefits is taking place in at least 21 states, with more states proposing similar measures. Americans themselves are split on whether the $300-per-week federal supplement should continue (41%) on top of standard unemployment insurance or come to an end (43%).
Democrats favor keeping it by 63% to 21%, as do those who are currently unemployed (52% to 24%). But three-quarters of Republicans prefer to bring the program to an end (74% to 18%), as well as a plurality of Independents (46% to 38%). Those who are working full-time are split (46% continue vs 44% end), while retirees are twice as likely to say the program should end (60%) as continue (28%).
As vaccinations increase and people begin returning to normal activities, there is a sense from some that the government should take a step back. One-third of Americans (33%) say that the government has done enough to help those who were impacted by the pandemic and should start doing less. Three in 10 adults (29%) say the government needs to do more, and one-quarter (26%) say the government is currently doing the right amount.

Stray Kids' Vocal Line Performs Amazing Cover of JJ Project's 'Tomorrow, Today' – Sweet Sweet Kpop | News, Games, Giveaways and more!
The trio took to their "SKZ-PLAYER" segment to showcase their vocal talents, doing justice for their labelmate, JJ Project's song.
All of their talents shine through in this video: the richness in Woojin's voice, and how he can go back and forth between different notes, Seungmin's soothing and steady voice, as well as I.N's, which balances the two with its own unique color.
Previously featured on "SKZ-PLAYER" was the group's dance and performance line, comprised of members Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Felix, who performed self-choreographed pieces to three different tracks.
This leaves the legendary 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han) as the only trio left for the group. Coincidentally, there's another segment of "SKZ-PLAYER" left.
Fans are speculating the trio will be releasing an official version of "Zone," which the trio performed at their comeback showcase, "UNVEIL [ Op. 02 : I am WHO ]" on August 5.

HISTORY AND PEOPLE
THE RENOVATION
INFO & opening days
Renovation started in 2016 and was divided into different phases. Some works have already been completed, others are expected to be carried out in the coming months.
Restoration works designed and overseen by the architects Cristiano Paro and Davide Cavasin - Studio P4.
The main entrance to the castle, built in the 18th century on orders of marquis Tommaso degli Obizzi, was conceived as a triumphal arch. It features statues, adornments and mascarons. The entire structure was built using white stone from Vicenza, bricks and wooden beams.
It is made up of a main round arch to allow the passage of men on horseback and of two side doors for pedestrians.
The classical-style gate comprises of doric pilasters and a bucranium-decorated entablature, interspersed by circular elements (possibly shields).
On the arch's keystone one can see Tommaso degli Obizzi's coat of arms and other ornaments that clearly allude to military feats.
The Gravestones
The gravestones act as overdoors and feature moral and political messages. They are stone/marble sheets placed primarily in the front yard and in the rooftop garden.
Some of them appear on top of fountains (elephant, Medocus Maior and Minor, eagle, Cerberus), others above the entrance arch of the "Casa di Beatrice" and above the back of the entrance gate.
Additional headstones appear on the top of the entrance gate and on the wall surrounding "Beatrice's garden".
Casa di Beatrice
The "Casa di Beatrice" ("Beatrice's House") is the initial nucleus of Catajo Castle and was owned by the Obizzi family already from 1400. It is situated in a raised position with wide porticoes built on the ground floor running from east to west and with bored holes aligned with the arches.
The entire house was built using brick masonry units covered in plaster. In some areas throughout the wall, one can see that yellow-ochre lime plaster was used. In other areas the lime plaster was removed and replaced by cement plaster with its typical dark grey colour which in turn was painted over with a yellowish hue.
Giardino di Beatrice
The Giardino di Beatrice ("Beatrice's Garden") is situated to the east of the Catajo complex, facing the building, on a natural terrace adjacent to Rio Rialto. You enter the garden through the oldest part of the castle, from Beatrice's House.
The garden hosts a large number of plants and trees, planted at different times throughout the castle's history.
From a map analysis carried out by Cesare Campori in 1837 we find that the garden is divided into three quadrants and that the lawn is made up of paths and turfs, typical of Italian Renaissance gardens.
The clear orthogonal shape of the garden means that in the middle of the three quadrants one can find three different kinds of ornaments.
To this day, the garden continues to feature the characteristics of a "secret garden", once open and facing the frescoed loggia.
It also had a role of an open-air salon, as it also features rooms frequented by Beatrice Pia's intellectual friends.

Spanish Chickpea and Chorizo Soup - Definitely a Bowl Licker! | Soup Mistress - Looking for the best soups & recipes in North America!
Spanish Chickpea and Chorizo Soup – Definitely a Bowl Licker!
My soup-a-holic friend Noel Pullen shared this Spanish Chickpea and Chirizo Soup – it is one of his favorite soup recipes (actually one of his wife's favorites). The Tomato Basil Organic Soup is his other favorite. Both soups are original soup recipes from Jamie Oliver.
I didn't change much of the original recipe, but I did add cumin and paprika, which are ussually found in Spanish dishes. I must say that I really love cumin.
The Verdict of Spanish Chickpea and Chorizo Soup? Wow – Noel's wife has good taste buds indeed. This soup recipe is a keeper for sure! I am not sure if this soup will ever make it to the freezer because I had it last night and then today for lunch. This is one soup that rocks for flavor the first day and the flavors explode even more the next. I felt like licking the bowl because the base was so good. I also like how the prosciutto cooks a little and the hammy texture is so nice with the chorizo. For each and every spoonful, you are most likely to get one of the meats!
Heat olive oil up in large saucepan, saute chorizo until fat comes out.
Add onion, garlic and celery. Turn heat to min and cook slowly for 10-15 mins with lid on – don't colour onions.
Add tomatoes, chickpeas, cumin, paprika and chicken stock.
Bring to boil, lower heat and simmer for 40 mins.
In meantime, place eggs in pot of cold water, bring pot to a boil then turn off heat, cover and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse eggs in cold water and peel.
When soup has simmered for 30 minutes, add in baby spinach.
Puree about 1/3 of mixture or use the handheld blender for about 4 seconds.
Add prosciutto and stir for 1 minute.
Ladle soup among serving bowls.
Add sliced egg on top of soup.

Former 2NE1 member Minzy drops sensual video for 'Teamo'
The singer's first Korean-language release in over a year
By Gladys Yeo
Minzy. Credit: MZ Entertainment
Former-2NE1 member Minzy has released a sensual new music video for her latest single, 'Teamo'.
READ MORE: BLACKPINK's Lisa to make solo debut "this summer", YG Entertainment confirms
The dance-focused video features Minzy performing the energetic, sensual choreography to the Latin-inspired track. "It's hot, it's a fire that has exploded / It's burning, take it here my heart, si, te amo / It's my heart that went round and round and took it out / It's only once, take it here my heart, si, te amo," she sings on the chorus.
'Teamo' marks Minzy's first Korean-language single in over a year, after last May's 'Lovely'. It is also her third single since she debuted as a soloist with 'Ninano' from her 2017 mini-album 'Minzy Work 01. Uno'.
The K-pop veteran founded her own company, MZ Entertainment, last October. This makes 'Teamo' her first release under the new agency. She also signed to Philippine entertainment agency Viva Entertainment last November, where she released a Tagalog version of 'Lovely'.
Minzy made her debut as the youngest member of 2NE1 in 2009 with the single 'Fire'. The group went on to become one of the best-selling K-pop girl groups of all time, releasing hits such as 'I Don't Care', 'I Am The Best' and 'Ugly' throughout their career. Minzy left the group in 2016, following a two-year hiatus.
The remaining members of 2NE1 later officially disbanded later that year, and released their final single 'Goodbye' in January 2017. All members of the group have since left YG Entertainment, with Sandara Park being the last to depart from the agency after her contract expired in May 2021.

The purpose of an outcome evaluation is fairly straightforward. Conducting a rigorous outcome evaluation is not easy. Understanding the need for it is: Your funders, colleagues, and staff want to know if your program produced the intended results. It can be less obvious what a process evaluation will tell you or why it will be useful, but in fact only by conducting a rigorous process study can you confidently answer outcome questions. The answers to these questions can help you determine whether there were ways in which actual program operations differed significantly from what was planned. Since most programs will deviate to some extent from what is initially drawn up on paper, understanding the differences can help you to think about how changes in the program might have impacted the outcomes.


I first came to this book while searching for books to match with my Romans topic, and I have been enamoured with it ever since. Less well known than Greek Myths (and mostly cribbed from them!!), this book introduces children to the strange world of Roman Myths. It has beautiful illustrations and fantastic language models. My favourite has to be the myth of Erisychthon who was cursed to eat himself to death after chopping down some of Ceres' sacred trees. Gruesome, yes, but utterly engrossing – or should I say engorging! I think it is out of print now, but I hunted mine down by using Click and Collect. Try here?
Simply, this is a fantastic retelling of a classic story. Broken up into three stories, this is definitely one easy to segment and dip in and out of for different writing topics. Morpugo has obviously adapted and incorporated some of the Old English / Norse textual features (such as kennings and epithets) which I really enjoy, and provide a good jumping off point for teaching. I'm also currently really enjoying his retelling of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as well! Order here.
I LOVE THIS BOOK! I discovered this when it was left in my classroom cupboard as part of the Amazon topic, and I have absolutely loved reading it and teaching each. Every year, children rave about this book and its incredible stories. My two favourites are The Great Snake and The Curupira – trust me when I say the stories sound mad but they are incredible. Just find it and treasure it forever! Unfortunately, it seems out of print – I hunted mine down from the US so it wasn't too expensive. Try here or here!
This book is so beautifully illustrated that it is worth having just for that! It has the most incredible and artistic illustrations to accompany the different tales from Norse mythology. What I really like about this book, however, is that it uses the first few pages to introduce the nature of myths and the key players. I think that it makes it really clear and accessible for children, and is definitely engaging. Would work really well with Arthur and the Golden Rope to create links and further flesh out the mythos. Enjoy!
These are all fantastic books for writing units, and also just read alouds for children in KS1 and KS2. Let me know if you'd be interested in more detail about how I plan writing around a text!


With season four of hit crime drama Bosch, starring Titus Welliver as Michael Connelly's iconic detective, about to drop, it seemed an ideal time to revisit one of Connelly's backlist novels that forms part of the spine of the upcoming season. ANGELS FLIGHT is the sixth Bosch novel (in a series that's now been going for more than 25 years), and it still holds up marvellously well even though it's almost 20 years old. It has a timeless sense that doesn't feel dated, even though technology and other aspects of modern life and the LA setting have evolved and moved on, and underlines Connelly's storytelling talent.
The novels begins with Harry Bosch called out in the middle of the night to a crime scene that by rights shouldn't be his. A man and woman have been shot to death in an historic cable car known as 'Angels Flight'. It's the identity of the man that gets Bosch called to the scene: notorious attorney Howard Elias, a thorn in the side of the LAPD who has made a living suing the department. Elias has recently been building a case against several LAPD detectives, and Bosch's bosses want him to take point on the homicide investigation, given all the conflicts of interest involved. A poisoned chalice?
Harry fumes that there's far too much politics involved; he might be getting set up as the fall guy if it all turns to custard, and there's the small matter of his two partners being black, so it doesn't hurt the LAPD PR machine to have a couple of black detectives investigating this particular murder, given Elias's ethnicity and that he'd regularly gone after the department for its treatment of minorities.
But while many worry about 'optics', Harry has a case to solve, even if it seems like many of those most likely to want Howard Elias dead are Harry's own brothers in blue. This creates some very dangerous waters for Harry and his team to navigate, as the black community seethes at repeated injustices and the city is a powder keg just waiting for a stray spark to ignite into race riots.
ANGELS FLIGHT is a tremendous read, rich and textured as well as providing page-whirring entertainment. Many of the characters, not just Bosch as the main protagonist, are complex, flawed and incredibly well-drawn. Connelly brings late 1990s Los Angeles to vivid life; the place and its people and the simmering concerns and conflicts that form the capillaries beneath its surface.
Connelly has a particular knack for 'telling details', nailing a character or place with a pithy description that brings it vividly to life, rather than pages of details which can lose the impact. This, along with his storytelling, creates pace with depth, and a great sense of forward energy. ANGEL'S FLIGHT is a fast read that doesn't feel 'thin', a page-turner with plenty of texture and depth. There's a lovely balance to Connelly's writing: great characters, great sense of setting, relevant underlying social issues as well as personal issues for characters, and good plotlines.
In baseball parlance, Connelly is 'a five-tool superstar', someone who is extremely good at a lot of things, not just specialised in one or two. It was a real pleasure to go back and read this earlier Bosch book and be reminded just how great the series has been since its earliest days.


Monitoring the location of a truck, car or any moving vehicle using the GPS system. Widely deployed to keep track of truck fleets, vehicle tracking ensures that the vehicles are being used properly and that they can be recovered in the event they are stolen. Vehicle tracking relies both on the Global Positioning satellites (GPS) and a cellular system. A tracking module in the vehicle continuously picks up the GPS coordinates that indicate the real-time location of the vehicle. Using a cellular data service such as GPRS, the coordinates are immediately transmitted to the tracking company's computers. Customers log in to the tracking company Web site to see their vehicles on road maps, similar to in-dash and handheld GPS-based navigation systems.

If you like Horror Movies of the creature-feature variety, then you will most likely thoroughly enjoy "Gremlin." The majority of the cast provide solid showings with Katie Burgess delivering a standout performance as Adam's daughter, Anna.
We selected the best for you. From our partner Music Crowns
Of course, the star of the film is the pet-sized monster itself. The movie builds genuine tension as the audience never knows where the little devil is hiding or when it will pop out next. Filled with a good amount of suspense and a few jump-scare moments, "Gremlin" is a fun-filled thrill ride that is, at times, very brutal. If you enjoy horror movies with plenty of gore and action, then "Gremlin" will not disappoint you.
One of the ingredients that makes "Gremlin" standout from other independent horror movies of 2017 is that the filmmakers utilize high-quality CGI and special effects. Independent movies often struggle getting the funding for the proper computer-generated effects needed for the story, but that's not an issue with this horror flick. With its unique premise, solid performances, and impressive imagery, "Gremlin" is one of the more entertaining horror movies of 2017.

If you're an avid fan of horror movies or monster flicks, then you will want to checkout "Gremlin" on VOD on July 11, 2017.

When you pass a collection like list, array to another function in python, does it make a copy of it, or is it just a pointer?
Python passes references-to-objects by value.
Python passes references-to-objects by value (like Java), and everything in Python is an object. This sounds simple, but then you will notice that some data types seem to exhibit pass-by-value characteristics, while others seem to act like pass-by-reference... what's the deal?
Thing is, the whole reference/value concept won't fit into python. Python has no "value" of a variable. Python has only objects and names that refer to objects.
The actual object that myname is pointing is passed, not the name myname itself. Inside the function another name (x) is given to refer to the same object passed.
it is "pass by value" but all values are just references to objects.
BUT, an immutable object CONTAINED WITHIN a mutable object CAN be re-assigned within a method call.
'list' here is an immutable Number object also.
So how did 'list', being an immutable Number object, change (supports my point 2.) while the above example's Number object 'num' did not? The immutable Number object 'list' is contained within the mutable list object 'list', while 'num' from the 1st example is just a non-contianed Number object.
Some objects, like strings, tuples, and numbers, are immutable. Altering them inside a function/method will create a new instance and the original instance outside the function/method is not changed.
My 2nd code experiment above shows a Number object ('list') being altered within a method, and then the original instance outside the function changed.
A reference is passed, but if the parameter is an immutable object, modifying it within the method will create a new instance.
The object is passed. Not a copy, but a reference to the underlying object.
It will help you to understand the underlying issues and how to use it to perform your own deep copy.

dram shop rule
A law that makes a business that sells alcoholic drinks or a host who serves liquor to an obviously intoxicated person strictly liable to anyone injured by the drunken patron or guest.
Category: Accidents & Injuries
Category: Small Claims Court & Lawsuits
Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary. Gerald N. Hill, Kathleen Thompson Hill. 2009.
a statute (Dram Shop Act) or case law in 38 states which makes a business which sells alcoholic drinks or a host who serves liquor to a drinker who is obviously intoxicated or close to it, strictly liable to anyone injured by the drunken patron or guest. To the contrary, California recently passed legislation specifically banning such strict liability. It is often hard to prove that the liquor bought or served was the specific cause of an accident (such as an automobile crash while driving home), since there is always an intervening cause, namely, the drunk.

Minister's speeches
Speech by Minister of Communications Faith Muthambi at Willowfontein Imbizo in Pietermaritzburg
Address by the Minister of Communications, Ms Faith Muthambi (MP), at Willowfontein Imbizo in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal
Time to give back to the community
Minister of Social Development, Ms Bathabile Dlamini
Residents of Willowfontein and neighbouring townships;
Members of the Provincial Legislature present here;
All public representatives in attendance today;
Cllr Chris Ndlela
Ward Cllr Sibusiso Mkhize
Sanibonani nonke, Ninjani!
It is an honour for me to be afforded the opportunity by my colleague, Minister Bathabile Dlamini to be part of a very special handover of homes to two families from the community. December is important in our nation's calendar and that of the world. We gather at a time when we fondly remember the father of our nation and international icon Nelson Mandela.
On the 5th of December we marked the second anniversary of his death. Nelson Mandela had left an indelible mark on our society having laid the foundation for a united, non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous society. He was unwavering in his commitment to justice, equality and building a non-racial South Africa. His profound message of impacting the life of those around us continues to resonate in our society and inspires us to be better human beings.
This time of the year takes on a special significance where it is more than just remembering Madiba's life; it is an opportunity to live his legacy to contribute to a better country and a better world. Today we will do just that as we celebrate his life under the theme: "Giving back to the community."
I'm revisiting the community of Willowfontein in honour of the legacy of Madiba. Today we put into practice a principle that he promoted during his life, which is giving back to our communities. Today we are here to give back to the community of Willowfontein. I am also here because His Excellency President Jacob Zuma has deployed me to engage directly with you on the issues that most affect your community and obtain your input on how best we can deal with these matters together.
This is my third visit to the Willowfontein area in the past 12 months following the Presidential Imbizo which took place here in September last year and we are making good progress in dealing with challenges that the community raised with His Excellency the President, Members of Cabinet, Provincial and Local Government who accompanied the President during this Imbizo. During my pervious visit I had noted your concerns and a number of steps has been taken to address them.
For example during my first visit I heard that there were several cases of people in the community who did not have Identity Documents. Together with Home Affairs and GCIS in KwaZulu Natal, we have ensured that these community members were provided with Identity Documents which now allow them to take their rightful place as part of our society. Importantly, it also provides them with access to an array of government services such as social grants.
In his 2015 State of the Nation Address, President Zuma called for more public-private partnerships to create jobs and build an inclusive country where all South Africans enjoy equal privileges. Public and private partnership is key to expanding service delivery in the country. Over the past seven years, we have progressively increased the number of public-private partnerships covering a wide range of sectors.
I can proudly say that it is through this public-private partnership that we are able to provide houses to two families in the Willowfontein community. We welcome and appreciate the role played by the private sector in the construction of the houses we are handing over today.
This partnership, however, could also not have worked without the excellent support of the Msunduzi Municipality under Cllr Chris Ndlela and the local Ward Cllr Mr Sbu Mkhize.
We all know that a decent house is central to a quality life. It supports the growth and development of a family. In particular, children are much healthier, have greater confidence and do better at school. It is for this reason the government has made the provision of decent houses across the country a priority. According the 2014 Development Indicators, South Africa has made good progress in the provision of housing.
The number of households in the country have increased from 10.8 million to 15.6 million between 2002 and 2014. The Department of Human Settlements continues to implement various programmes to create sustainable human settlements and improving the quality of life for all residents.
Today we continue to build on this good progress by handing over these two houses to the Mathe and Mkhize families. I want to highlight that in the process of building these houses we had created employment for the duration of the project. It also included the transfer of important skills that equipped and trained workers.
Through similar infrastructure development projects as part of our Nine-Point Plan we are creating more job opportunities and building the required infrastructure that will help move our country forward.
In closing,
Today let us celebrate the efforts our government is making to change the lives of the people for the better. In particular, we celebrate with the two families here today who will enjoy the upcoming festive season in their new homes.
In the spirit of Mandela and his enduring legacy of giving back to the community, I officially hand over these houses to the Mathe and Mkhize families. We wish them many happy memories as they make these houses a home.

Yeah I must say I can't really see the benefit of this because its more of a personal preference than a true improvement. You will know the status of your weapons and armor before 99% of engagements. And you're able to run away from most monsters in the game or at least kite them long enough to check. I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of this suggestion.
[Idea] How to make the beard MORE AWESOME!
ARGH! You NINJA'D my post!
LOL! Sounds like someone has run out of rocks in his current game I like the idea though. I was thinking about why you can't do that the other day.
Yes! Simple and functional improvement (I would prefer it not to be Roman numerals though). I cannot tell you how many times I've tried to equip my logsuit by pressing a number on my keyboard only to inadvertently end up eating monster meat... which you can imagine isn't the best thing that can happen when you are URGENTLY trying to put your logsuit on to avoid taking damage!
Define "excessive" But seriously I can understand why you wouldn't want bad language in the forums. Even though the way in which it was used in this thread was more for comical effect. I think the spirit of the Community Standards Policy on obscenity was targeted towards those individuals who swear at others. In that case it would be a simple application of banhammer according to policy.
My stance is that it should be something the parents monitor if they allow their kids onto the internet? Also there is far worse out there on the net that the profanity in here... and profanity in general. I think it isn't not our job to modify our language to make up for someone else's bad parenting. Though I do respect your request and will try to limit my profanity going forward.
LOL?! Sorry Artem but I'm not understanding your comment mate Do you LIKE the idea? Or do you think it wouldn't be a good fit for the game? I (obviously) think it's a great idea as it partly addresses the current Meat Effigy party that Don't Starve becomes. The game loses any challenge once you create 10+ effigies and are practically invulnerable within your base. Plus the use of the beard to create a moustache is pretty cool no? With the status effects etc. I guess that I was just hoping for more feedback?
Low drop rate Pig Skins?
Haha! Nice thread! Hounds: What is that barking soun... OH **** WHY ISN'T MY PICK AXE KILLIN... Bleh (the universally accepted noise of death) Tentacle: WTF?! Ahahahaha... I'm too fast for the purple linguine monster trolololol... Bleh Treeguard: Ok... So I know that I could spawn a Treeguard at any moment... and it's getting late and I'm cutting into my 13th consecutive tree... HAHA THERE YOU AR... WHAT? THE WIKI DIDN'T SAY TWO OF YOU COULD SPAWN AT THE SAME TI... Bleh Werepig:: *I knew about these via wiki and forums already* And now I'll just pull this Spider Queen to this camp of... ... ... werepigs... YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME... Bleh Spider: OMG it's a 6-legged head... of DOOM!!! Spider Queen: WELL IF YOU COULD STOP SPAWNING ******* JUMPING SPIDERS AND STICK TO THE 25% CHANCE AS PER THE WIKI I MIGHT JUST SURVI... Bleh Beefalo: Day 5 Journal Post 1- I will attempt to down the strange beast for meat and perhaps a remarkable trophy. Day 5 Journal Post 2- Ow. Day 5 Journal Post 3- With my attempt at downing the strange Beefalo an utter failure and my body a broken shambles to boot... I shall have to resort to eating this monster meat that I have cooked... Bleh Day 1 Journal Post 1- Damn. Toad: Oh look at this utterly cute jumping toad!!! THWAK!!! OWCH WTF WAS THAT FOR!!!
PLEASE DON'T IGNORE THIS POST IF IT IS TOO LONG I HAVE INCLUDED A SUMMARY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST SO PLEASE JUST READ THAT!!! (IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO WRITE LOL) Hey guys, I just had this idea but then realised there was a GREAT suggestion from Monkeyman discussing some of the things I wanted to say. So I believe this thread deserves another look for being the first to pioneer the idea. http://forums.kleientertainment.com/showthread.php?4534-The-Beard My suggestion revolves around the beard shavings being a key component to the meat effigy. Currently there is NO other use for the beard shavings apart from making the effigies. This is partly the reason why late game is so easy... you can put up a ton of effigies and you are practically invulnerable and will never die if you keep your head screwed on correctly. In order to dissuade the creation of meat effigies the following should happen: 1) You should be limited to one effigy 2) There should be plenty of alternative AND VERY USEFUL applications for your beard hair BOTH of the above are key. You can't just be limited to one meat effigy and not have alternative uses as players would just stockpile shavings and create another effigy once they use the current one. And you can't JUST have the alternative uses as surviving is paramount and people would use their first 3 or 4 sets of shavings to create PLENTY of effigies and then only start using it for the alternatives. With BOTH SUGGESTIONS the player will always look at all those shavings sitting in his stockpile as a waste of space (because we all reach a point in most games where we get slightly overconfident), he might use them then die (using his effigy) and, all of a sudden, he is in a risky situation where he might die permanently. What could the alternative uses of the beard be? You can use a MOUSTACHE crafting kit (new item) to create an amazing MOUSTACHE! It would slow down the rate at which sanity is lost. You would be required to maintain the MOUSTACHE by crafting it every couple of days. Shaving your MOUSTACHE should give you MINIMAL beard shavings (like 1 or 2) BUT a player could let the MOUSTACHE grow wild again which makes it into an elderly beard in 10-13 days (following the same beard progressions that are currently in place). Why not go CRAZY and include a whole host of different MOUSTACHES that you can craft that provide status effect bonuses (like the hats currently do)? Imagine a "VIKING BEARD" that reduces incoming damage (much like a logsuit and football helmet). This would be definitely make the player think twice on the decision to shave the beard for the effigy or create a MOUSTACHE for the bonuses! Other suggestions: A constant effect bonus for keeping just a normal beard (like a slight reduction to hunger since you always find leftover pieces of food in your beard). Make it such that werepigs don't attack you out of fear if your beard has reached elderly stage. Recipe uses for the beard (maybe as an antidote if poison ever gets introduced) or crafting uses for items that are useful (maybe for the bug net, or future items) Any other ideas? I believe this idea could lead to more deaths due to the one meat effigy limit and the many other alternative uses for the beard + beard shavings. There should also be ways for you to lose your beard (either through fire or other means... but I won't discuss it here since the post I linked to earlier had some awesome ideas). THE SUMMARY I PROMISED EARLIER!!! You are limited to one meat effigy. You can craft your beard into a moustache that makes you lose sanity at a slower rate. There are a whole host of moustache styles that provide bonuses in much the same way hats do. LIKE A VIKING BEARD!!! WHO DOESN'T WANT A VIKING BEARD!!! Beard shavings have alternative uses in recipes for items. There should be ways for you to lose your beard. Tell me what you think!
I think everyone is missing the OP's point. This is NOT a new system. I think it would be pretty cool to get dirtier as you do stuff. What I don't agree with is the suggestion that the world should react differently to you if you are dirty. Bathing would also be a great way to restore sanity (since this IS a meter that will be introduced). So I'm all for the aesthetic of seeing your player get dirtier over a number of days. It wouldn't be a meter, it wouldn't affect the game world in any way, it WOULD restore some sanity when you bathe (yet this doesn't need to be linked in any way to how dirty you are, maybe limiting the sanity bonus you get from bathing to once per day).
I'm all for any mechanic that takes away the drudgery of small tasks (like moving things in and out of chests). There should be a command that makes Wilson pick up all of the items in a small radius around him. This is similar to a "collect all" command when looting corpses on any mainstream RPG. The fact that it MAY diminish the challenge of mining while being attacked by hounds (LOL you're a brave one ) doesn't happen often enough to justify not having a mechanic that takes the drudgery out of some of the more menial everyday tasks in Don't Starve.

Data brokers resist pressure to stop collecting info on pregnant people
With concerns around data surveillance and abortion bans, lawmakers want these datasets to be off-limits.
In general, data brokers argue their tools are beneficial resources for pregnant people. | Tomohiro Ohsumi/Getty Images
By Alfred Ng
Democratic lawmakers are piling pressure on data brokers to stop collecting information on pregnant people in order to protect those seeking abortions. They're not having much luck.
For years, brokers have sold datasets on millions of expectant parents from their trimester status to their preferred birth methods. Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, that same data is becoming a political issue, with abortion-rights groups warning that states with abortion bans are likely to weaponize it.
In the three months since POLITICO reported the draft opinion against Roe, numerous congressional Democrats have sent letters to data brokers urging them to stop the practice, promised to interrogate the companies about their collections and introduced bills to restrict reproductive health data from being collected and sold.
But in the absence of federal data privacy legislation or any likely chance of it getting the support needed to pass, many brokers aren't taking heed.
POLITICO found more than 30 listings from data brokers offering information on expecting parents or selling access to those people through mass email blasts. Twenty-five of them were updated after the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe v. Wade on June 24.
Exact Data, a data broker that offers names, emails and mailing addresses of more than 23,000 expecting parents, updated its inventory as recently as August 1. PK List Marketing also updated its "She's Having a Baby - PRENATAL Mailing List" on August 1, according to its listing on NextMark, a directory of marketing email lists.
NextMark's CEO Joe Pych said he saw no issue with hosting these lists.
"As far as I know, there's no law today that prohibits prenatal mailing lists. If that were to change and this type of data became illegal, we'd work with the providers to remove these listings," Pych said. NextMark itself doesn't collect or sell any data. Neither PK List Marketing nor Exact Data responded to requests for comment.
Abortion rights groups and lawmakers on their side argue that this information has become dangerous, putting pregnant people at risk of prosecution both if they seek abortions or even if they just seek reproductive care that could be construed as doing so.

"It is shockingly irresponsible for a data broker to bury their head in the sand and pretend their business of tracking pregnancies and selling that information for profit won't be weaponized by far-right extremists," Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who introduced the My Body, My Data Act of 2022 to limit reproductive health data collection, said in an email.
The risk isn't hypothetical. Police have used digital evidence such as text messages and search histories in the past to enforce abortion laws. In 2015, Indiana prosecutors used a woman's online search history as evidence to prove she illegally induced her own abortion. She was convicted of feticide.
Data brokers who amass collections on pregnant people say they get this information from sources like online activities, surveys, magazine subscriptions and purchases from businesses like maternity clothing stores. Multiple data brokers' privacy policies say they would share data with law enforcement in response to a warrant.
The lawmakers have had a handful of successes with their pressure campaign. Data brokers SafeGraph and Placer.ai stopped offering data on abortion clinics around the U.S. after Vice articles revealed their practices and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called out the companies. Tech companies like Google have responded by vowing to delete location data logs from abortion clinics,
But shame is the main tool at their disposal, and a difficult one to wield when the data broker industry is made up of hundreds of small companies that aren't widely known. That's especially true of data on pregnant people given that one of the largest players, Experian, stopped offering such datasets in 2016. Experian did not explain why it stopped offering this dataset.
"When companies and their executives are called out by name — in the media, online, and especially by members of Congress — they pay more attention," said Justin Sherman, who runs a data brokerage research project at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy. "Simultaneously, data brokers are under no illusions about Congress' likelihood of passing privacy regulations anytime soon."
Lawmakers have tried and failed to pass data privacy regulations for years. Congress has made progress in recent months on a bipartisan bill, The American Data Privacy and Protection Act, which passed out of committee on July 20. But it doesn't have backing from Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), who heads the Senate Commerce committee, making it unlikely to pass.
Cantwell has argued that the bill lacks strong enforcement measures, and is backing her own legislation, the Consumer Online Privacy Rights Act.
And the two bills introduced specifically to block collection of health-related data are only backed by a handful of Democrats and aren't expected to gain wider support.

In July, Rep. Lori Trahan (D-Mass.) said she intended to identify and send letters to any entity that collected, used, sold or disclosed data that could be used against pregnant people.
"At a bare minimum, these companies should stop collecting or deriving sensitive data like reproductive health data," Trahan said in an email. Her message to the companies: "Stop putting your bottom line above everything else."
Exact Data sells a dataset with contact information such as name, emails and mailing addresses for up to 23,217 expecting parents for about $2,786. MedicoReach sells similar raw data on pregnant women, along with location, age and income. MedicoReach also did not respond to a request for comment.
Such datasets offer significant insights on thousands of expectant parents, including purchase history, the states they live in, and when they are expected to give birth. While all of that information is useful for a marketer, it could be used to identify people who terminate their pregnancies in states with abortion bans — or who engaged in allegedly risky behavior that authorities may blame for the death of the fetus.
Complete Medical Lists, for example, offers a mailing list with more than 585,000 mailing addresses for expecting parents and 185,593 email addresses. Data from people in 10 states where abortions are banned make up nearly half of the dataset.
Tim Burnell, the owner of Complete Medical Lists, dismissed the idea that this could be dangerous.
"I simply cannot imagine a scenario where a law enforcement agency could obtain a subpoena for, essentially, every self-reported new pregnancy in the U.S.," Burnell said.
Reach Marketing also offers a mailing list, boasting a collection of 818,000 expectant moms, packaged with data showing when they are expected to give birth, as well as information like their purchase history.
Both of them don't sell the data they collect and only offer tailored email blasts, but their collections could be available to law enforcement agencies. Reach Marketing's privacy policy noted that the company could give data to law enforcement agencies if requested. Complete Medical Lists' privacy policy also says it would share data in response to a warrant.
Google says it will delete users' location history at abortion clinics, other 'personal' data
By Olivia Olander
The level of detail in these lists could be combined in dangerous ways, the lawmakers argue. A prosecutor in a state where abortion is illegal could subpoena data on pregnant people in the state, and combine that with location data from a different data broker to show that a person traveled across state lines to an abortion clinic, for example.
"Americans cannot trust data brokers to keep their most personal information private — and that puts women at risk," said Warren, who introduced one of the bills to ban data brokers from selling health data, the Health and Location Data Protection Act.
Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), who introduced a bill in January that would ban targeted advertising, has been calling on companies to stop collecting data on women's health entirely.
"Data brokers and all companies that collect personal data have an obligation to ensure intimate data about women's health isn't collected in the first place, allowing prosecutors in states that criminalize abortion to use it against women," Eshoo said in an email.
Data brokers who have stopped haven't given clear reasons on why. Placer.ai said it wasn't in the company's "business interests" to provide information about Planned Parenthood clinics, while SafeGraph didn't give a reason it stopped selling those location insights.
In general, data brokers argue their tools are beneficial resources for pregnant people. NextMark's Pych noted the company's mailing lists help new parents get discounts on necessities like diapers and baby formula.
And some of the purveyors of email lists say they wouldn't allow those lists to be used for campaigns for or against abortion rights.
Josephine Messina, a vice president of direct marketing services with Reach Marketing, said the company has to approve all email blasts, and would not allow ads for either abortion pills or for crisis pregnancy centers, clinics that abortion rights opponents have set up to counsel pregnant people against abortions.
Burnell said Complete Medical Lists requires similar approvals for email blasts and also wouldn't approve such advocacy ads. He said the company has no plans to stop any of its data collection on pregnant people, but that could change if they're being used to target people for seeking abortions.
"Should some entity attempt to weaponize a marketing list, we would certainly reconsider," he said.

Nissan, the mentioned Japanese people Nissanmaker has several SUV and cross-over designs in its collection and most of these are quite popular in various markets. The 2020 Nissan Rogue lightweight SUV is one of these designs and it has a obtained a significant users list since its first first appearance in 2008. Nissan provided the Fake a update a few in the past and a multiple and Game version was also presented to serve different customer needs.
The 2020 Fake is being readied for launch. It gets some external design up-dates and new age protection technological innovation to woo more customers.
Barring the multiple version, all cuts come packed with a 2.5-liter inline-4 engine. It was ranked 170 HP for 2019 but now the outcome may be improved. The consistently different transmitting is likely to be there. The new engine may be more energy efficient. High top quality of drive is better with 17-inch tires and it becomes tougher if you go for larger tires.
The 2020 Nissan Rogue will also come with the Hybrid engine like the current one. It will have 2.0-liter inline-4 engine + motor unit which makes a total net outcome of 176 horse power. Its EPA city/highway gas mileage is with a rating of 33/35 mpg (FWD), 31/34 mpg (AWD).
The 2020 Nissan Rogue is a trendy lightweight SUV and the up-dates are not extreme but deserving ones. The grill is now in synchronize with what you find in more recent Nissan designs such as Pathfinder and Murano. The side has some distinct wrinkles and they combination well with curved shapes. The Nissan is also going to be marketed in three trims- S, SV and SL. The surface colors are Glacier White, Amazing Gold, Attractive Black, Palatial Dark red etc. The wrap-around LED taillights and metal tires add to visible pizazz. The Late night Edition Program may be given for 2020 as well which contributes a blacked out look both outside and inside.
The 2020 Fake will get a trendy cottage and top quality of materials receive a increase. The Divide-N-Hide Nissango installation is useful and you will like the EZ Bend sitting program. This time will be marketed in 5 seater installation. The bottom cut has a somewhat cheap looking cottage but things improve as you step up. The 39.3 cubic feet Nissango area is reasonable.The 2019 Fake ratings very well on protection methodologies and Nissan has also implemented enough facilities to make it competition ahead of section competitors. All cuts get six safety bags, rearview camera, blind-spot watches, and automated urgent stopping. However, the Fake SL cut contains automated urgent stopping, active road management and road leaving alerts. SL Jewelry Program also contributes ProPilot Support program and flexible vacation management.The Nissan Link infotainment program has been renewed and the latest version is slimmer and more tuned in to use. You also get Wireless and Smart phone incorporation. Amenities like 2 Area Automatic Temperature Control, Routing and leather-wrapped and warmed leader are also there.
The 2020 Nissan Rogue cuts are yet to be post by the Nissan. However, the platform more cost effective may be near $25,000. The Hybrid version will start at $28,000. Its launch date may be sometimes at the end of 2019.
The 2020 Nissan Rogue gets several notables revamps. Its ProPilot Support product is a welcome addition and there are several personalization choices. With right costs, it can cause a serious risk to competitors from stables of Ford and GM.


Several UNC School of Social Work faculty traveled to Stockholm, Sweden to participate in the Joint World Conference on Social Work and Social Development: Action and Impact, and to meet with Swedish colleagues on developing collaborative projects.
Those attending the July 8-12 conference included Irene Zipper, Mark Fraser, Mimi Chapman, Mark Testa, visiting professor Meihua Zhu, and emerita faculty member Dee Gamble.
Zipper's presentations were entitled, "A Social Work Perspective on Transatlantic Collaboration to Prepare Students for Leadership and Enhance Service Delivery," and "PREParation for Emergencies and Recovery: Supporting Individuals with Developmental Disabilities and their Families," co-authored by Tamara Norris.
Faculty also used this opportunity to meet extensively with colleagues at Mälardalen University to plan a joint online course on caregiving in the United States and Sweden, and initiate several collaborative projects. In 2010 the School signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the School of Health, Care and Social Welfare at Mälardalen, to provide opportunities to study abroad and collaborate with international peers on research and other academic activities.


My amp was working fine then one day stopped working. Finally I checked the fuses on the amp and they were blown. popped two more in and bam blown right away. I took the sub out and replaced the fuses and amp stays on no problem. But once I hookup the sub again bam fuses blow right away.
Anybody have any idea what could be going wrong?
Sounds like a short in your wiring or in the sub. First, try connecting another speaker to the amp. If this works, you've identified your problem (the sub). If the amp still blows fuses, try new wiring. If none of these work, the amp may be the problem.
Make sure that your positive and negative wiring at the sub and the amp are isolated from each other.
Good luck with solving your problem.
Help! My fuses are blowing and i cant figure out why.

OZ COMIC-CON – Gates McFadden Interview
by Dave Griffiths
To Star Trek fans the name Gates McFadden needs no introduction at all. McFadden played the much loved character of Dr Beverly Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Nemesis. Aside from that she has appeared in television shows such as Party Of Five, NCIS, Mad About You and even voiced Crusher in Family Guy as well. Before her popular role in Star Trek McFadden also worked as a puppeteer and got to work alongside the legendary David Bowie on Labyrinth.
In Australia for Oz Comic-Con HEAVY Mag's Dave Griffiths got to chat to McFadden about her career and what it was like being a star of one of the world's most watched television shows.
"I really have changed about one hundred and eighty degrees to the way I feel about conventions," says McFadden when I ask her what it is like for her to attend conventions like Oz Comic-Con. "I actually really enjoy them and I used to be terrified of them. I was like the last one in my cast to start doing them. But I kinda really dig seeing what other places and cultures there are outside the United States. I see how is the economy, do people have bad teeth – because if they do it probably means they don't have good healthcare. I just learn so much and I meet so many people who are obviously younger than me but they say 'hey I became a surgeon or I became a nurse because of you' and I mean that is so freakin' great… how great is that? I mean it's like we were on Baywatch and someone says 'hey I got my tits done because you look so good.' It is like we actually get people who believe in the future and want to work on the possibilities. I love that about Star Trek… I really do. There is a community and as a whole I think our fans are extremely positive… they are hopeful."
"I didn't understand them but because of the original cast we had heard them," McFadden says when she explains what she knew about conventions before Star Trek. "There were special events during our first year of filming, like to honour Gene so we would all show up for it, but we knew there were conventions because that was how the show had survived was because of the fans and how they cared so much, so I knew about them but I didn't understand them. I didn't do a convention until two years in and everybody else had already done them already. Did I think our show was going to become a big, big hit? No I had no clue about that."

My new divorce clients often tell me that their case isn't suited to Collaborative Law because there is too much conflict and, "they aren't in agreement." This illustrates one of the biggest misconceptions about collaborative divorce.
For some reason many people seeking a divorce attorney think collaborative divorce is only for "agreed" divorces. Not so.
The collaborative divorce model takes into account the conflict that is inherent when a marriage ends in divorce. The real difference is that the collaborative divorce gives everyone a "safe place" to work through their emotions and it places an emphasis on problem solving rather than trying to defeat the other spouse in court.
If you must endure a divorce, you owe it to yourself (and your children) to understand collaborative divorce and consider whether collaborative divorce is right for you.
In collaborative divorce, negotiations between divorcing spouses is "interest based" not "positional." In other words, the focus of the discussions is not on staking out a position but rather is focused on the underlying needs and concerns of each party moving ahead after divorce. By focusing on such needs, divorcing parties and their collaborative divorce attorneys have more latitude to craft creative, personal solutions.

The solos are shared with the piccolos and flute one, while the melody moves through all parts. There is an optional bass clef part for a string bass, cello or bassoon if the choir doesn't have a contrabass flute.

Mark Fox Fired: 5 Replacements for Georgia
Mark Fox was fired by Georgia on Saturday after nine seasons as head coach.

Use the promo code HeroSports to get your 50% Bonus
Fox arrived in Athens in 2009 after a successful five-year run at Nevada. He only had four 20-win seasons with the Bulldogs and reached two NCAA Tournaments. They won 18 games this year, including an SEC Tournament quarterfinal vs. Missouri but will miss the tournament for the third straight season.
MORE: Outside-the-Box Candidates for UConn
With Fox out, who might Georgia hire? Here are five potential candidates.
Tom Crean
Current Position: N/A
Given the number of openings, it'd be stunning if Tom Crean is not back in college basketball within a few weeks.
Pete Thamel reported on Thursday that Crean is the "biggest buzz" for a program likely to make a "safe hire of a veteran coach." Though Crean has never coached south of Kentucky (assistant, 1990-94), he's recruited nearly every corner of the country and has plenty of gas left in the tank.
Earl Grant
Current Position: Head Coach — Charleston
Earl Grant is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after coaches in the country. Whether he leaves Charleston this year, in 2019 or later, the first question is, can he do better than Georgia?
Grant delivered the Cougars' first tourney berth since 1999 and with the exception of three years at Wichita State (three of six years under Gregg Marshall at Winthrop and Wichita State) has spent his entire life and career in the southeast.
Matt McMahon
Current Position: Head Coach — Murray State
First, it was Mick Cronin to Cincinnati in 2006. Then Billy Kennedy to Texas A&M in 2011 and Steve Prohm to Iowa State in 2015. Matt McMahon will be the next Murray State head coach to leave.
The 39-year-old has zero high-major experience but is a rising star with strong relationships in the region. With only one good season under his belt (26-5 this year, including 16-2 in the OVC and an NCAA Tournament berth) this would be a reach and far from a sexy hire, though one Georgia might be willing to roll the dice on.
Kermit Davis
Current Position: Head Coach – Middle Tennessee
After 10 jobs at eight programs over 20 years, Kermit Davis arrived in Murfreesboro in 2002 and hasn't left, building the Blue Raiders into a mid-major power.
There's no reason to believe Davis will ever leave but the 56-year-old is a known commodity with high-major experience who's worked in the SEC (assistant, LSU, 1997-2002) and recruited around the southeast for the last two decades.
Billy Donovan
Current Position: Head Coach – Oklahoma City Thunder
Here's your wild card.
OK, fine, here's your "why in the hell would Billy Donovan want the Georgia job?" wild card.
If Donovan wants to return to college, he can do way better than Georgia. He'd likely a blue-blood candidate if one those coaches were to leave. Nonetheless, he spent 15 years at Florida with current Georgia athletics director Greg McGarity, therefore is there any chance McGarity calls his former coach with a massive offer?

Bus driver of the year dedicated to students
Debbie Stewart was named this year the California Highway Patrol's school bus driver of the year for Northern California.
Bus driver of the year dedicated to students Debbie Stewart was named this year the California Highway Patrol's school bus driver of the year for Northern California. Check out this story on redding.com: https://reddingne.ws/2MisTES

Debbie Stewart can drive any school bus on the lot — from smaller vans to full-size 92-seat buses.
As a roving bus driver for the Shasta County Office of Education, Stewart knows some 40 different school bus routes throughout the county and has driven more than 150,000 miles without an accident.
But it wasn't just her safety record and knowledge of driving a bus that earned her the California Highway Patrol's School Bus Driver of the Year award for Northern California.
Her ability to work with the students she transports sets her apart, according to her supervisor, Michele Lambert, director of transportation operations for the county office.
"She always exemplifies that the school bus is an extension of the classroom," Lambert said.
Stewart knows how to safely navigate a school bus through the streets, back roads and highways of Shasta County. But she also knows how to bring out the best in students, Lambert said.
"It takes a special driver to drive some of the students we transport. It takes patience and compassion," Lambert said. "You just have to have a passion for it."
Stewart is just one of two people statewide to receive this year's Bus Driver of the Year award – one for Northern California and one for Southern California. Lambert estimated that it has been about 15 years since someone from Shasta County has received the award.

In addition to receiving the CHP award, she was also named Shasta County Classified Employee of the Year for transportation from among all the school districts in the county, Lambert said.
"I don't know how that happened, either," Stewart said laughing. Looking back on her 27-year career, Stewart said she kind "fell into" the job.
She was happy being a stay-at-home mom, volunteering as a girl scout leader, soccer coach and classroom mom.
But one of the soccer coaches' wives approached her and urged her to become a school bus driver. After training and licensing she worked a couple months as a substitute driver for the Evergreen School District in Tehama County before she was hired full time with the county office of education.
It worked well for her because she had weekends, evenings and holidays off with her two daughters, she said. But she stayed with the job because she enjoys working with the students, she said.

"Now after 27 years I'm seeing kids that are 17 and 18, and I used to put them in booster seats and buckle them down in little seat belts. They came on the bus in diapers, preschoolers at ages 3 and 4 and now they're teenagers, Stewart said.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed all the different age groups of children that I have transported over the years, from the high schoolers to the preschoolers and everything in between — it has been extremely rewarding," Stewart said.
Many of the students she drives have special needs and require extra attention, Lambert said. When Lambert trains new school bus drivers, she brings Stewart into her classes to talk about how she handles students.
Stewart is also sent on ride-alongs with new bus drivers to provide tips on behavior and discipline.
Children in the younger grades and high school-age students are easier to work with, Stewart said. It is the middle school students who can sometimes be challenging, she said.
Over the years she has learned to read which students are going to be trouble.

"The kids who think they are going to get away with something go straight to the back" of the bus, Stewart said.
She spent seven years driving the largest bus available filled with kids who came from difficult backgrounds — living in group homes, foster care or who had probation officers assigned to them — and she "absolutely loved it."
"They were not even remotely the best-behaved kids, but you know what, sometimes those kids just need that extra attention and an adult that treats them decently and is encouraging and supportive, and those kids need … let's face it, they like a little bit of regimented rules," Stewart said.
She is generous in giving out second and third chances to students who get caught breaking the rules.
"You can't expect them to be perfect, and every day needs to be a fresh slate," she said.
"Every day you have to greet them with a smile. Tell them to have a good afternoon, have a good day in school. Ask them about how their day was, just kind of touch base on some of the little things," she said.
To her, it's paid off not just in awards. She is often greeted by them years later or invited to special events in their lives, such as high school graduations, when the kids are older.
"It's just been a really rewarding career as far as the kids," she said. "Just being a positive influence for kids is very rewarding."
