Whitewood is a town of 860 people (2016) in Southern Saskatchewan. It is a good stopping point midway between Brandon, Manitoba and Regina.
Nicknamed the "Crossroads Community", Whitewood is located at the junction of Highways 1 and 9 is has been a traditional east-west and north-south rest stop.
Where Whitewood now stands was once grasslands, travelled only by nomadic First Nations people, white traders, trappers and buffalo hunters. Native plants and wildlife thrived in perfect balance. The people who followed the trails between the Valley of the Qu'Appelle and the Pipestone Creek left no more permanent marks on the landscape than the tracks of their Red River carts.
Before the settlement of the west, Whitewood began as a crossing of trails between the Qu'Appelle Valley to the north and the Moose Mountains to the south. The Hudson's Bay Company trading post was established about the fall of 1891 to approximately the spring of 1906.
With the settlement of the west and the coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), Whitewood quickly grew into a thriving community. The CPR naming was derived from the White Poplar (Populus alba), a deciduous tree with white bark, which was plentiful in the area.
Whitewood has extreme seasonal temperatures. It has warm summers and cold winters, with the average daily high temperatures ranging from −11 °C (12 °F) in January to 25 °C (77 °F) in July. Typically, summer lasts from late June until late August, and the humidity is seldom uncomfortably high. Winter lasts from November to March, and varies greatly in length and severity. Spring and autumn are both short and highly variable.
Whitewood is located at the junction of the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) and Highway 9, 175 km (109 mi) east of Regina, 190 km (120 mi) west of Brandon, and 400 km (250 mi) west of Winnipeg. It is also located 155 km (96 mi) north of Canada-U.S. border on Highway 9.

The Samsung Galaxy S was the best smartphone the company has released. So it was no surprise that the Koreans would dub its successor Galaxy S II. The new smartphone has 1.2GHz processor, ultra-slim chassis and super-light insides, which should bring the Galaxy S II up front in the dual-core race with iPhone 4S, LG Optimus 2X, HTC Sensation and Motorola Atrix.
The Samsung Galaxy S II is incredibly thin – with dimensions of 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5mm it's one of the slimmest smartphones out there, even thinner than the iPhone. It's extremely light too – all the technology in it is packed in one device that weighs exactly 116g. Samsung decided to replace the all-metal frame that significantly contributed to the gram count of the previous Galaxy S and replace it with thin plastic. But the clever design makes it all fit in nicely when put together. At the rear, the battery cover has mashed surface so your hand doesn't feel warm during long conversations.
The first thing you notice when you pick up Galaxy S though, is the display. It's hard to miss the 4.3 inches big Super AMOLED plus screen as it feels like wide screen TV in your palm when you turn it on. The Galaxy S was revered as the best phone on the market for media, and Galaxy S II has not just live up to the reputation, but it improved it.
Despite the slightly frightening size of the phone, Galaxy S II actually fits very nicely in the hand, mainly due to its thin depth. The design of the front of the phone is really elementary where the home key is the only real button. The volume keys are set on the left-hand side and the lock/power key is on the other side. On the top of the phone there is a 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB slot which also works as HDMI output is placed on the bottom.
Samsung Galaxy S II runs on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread which provides seven home screens that are easily customizable with shortcuts and widgets. It's enriched with proprietary applications like Social Hub, intended to sync social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In or IM accounts.
The last but not least feature worth the notice is the camera. The rear 8.1MP camera with LED flash is slightly raised compared to the Galaxy S, but not too much so you can put the Galaxy S II on the table (with the help of a rear lip that helps hold the phone) without problems.

Sociologist John Hoffmann Shares Common Myths of Adolescent Drug Use
Dr. John Hoffmann, BYU professor of sociology, gave the 27th annual Martin B. Hickman Outstanding Scholarship Lecture, "Myths of [Adolescent] Drug Use," on Thursday, March 12, 2020.
Hoffmann defined myths as "simplifications and beliefs which help people and cultures make sense of the world." He described the negative effects of these myths/symbolic stories about drug use saying, "If we don't think about them carefully or understand where they come from they can lead to bad policy and bad programs." After 30 years of research on substance use and abuse Hoffmann discussed some common myths we believe about adolescent drug use.
"Substance users and problem users are different from us"
The first myth Hoffmann addressed was the idea that substance users and problem users are "different from us." He described the practice of "othering" which places people into different groups based on perceived physical differences. "We tend to still think drug users or drug addicts are certain kinds of people" said Hoffmann. He cited a study that followed young people for 13 years into adulthood. The study found that African American males were twice as likely as Caucasian males to be arrested for drug possession regardless of their actual drug use. Hoffmann emphasized the fact that "We cannot judge people based on appearance" and that "drug users are not different from us."
"Substance use disorder (SUD) is a voluntary disease"
Many people believe that drug addiction is a voluntary disease, a choice and reflects a lack of willpower. Although this can be true in some cases Hoffmann pointed out the effects of social environments on drug use. He provided a few examples of influential circumstances that encourage drug use which include family and friend behaviors, stressful experiences, heredity and genetics. "There is a strong correlation between setting or environment and the likelihood of drug use" said Hoffmann. He explained how stressful life experiences can increase the chances of people developing problems with substance abuse. Hoffmann cited an experiment where rats were given access to drug-laced water. Researchers found that when rats were isolated they relied heavily on the drugs, but when the cages offered additional contraptions like tunnels and wheels the rats avoided the drugs altogether. This experiment provided evidence that positive environments and activities actually discouraged drug use. In relation to humans Hoffmann said, "Individuals in poor, stressful and disadvantaged environments will often look for something to dull the pain in their lives."
"Legal drugs are safer"
Another common myth today is that legal drugs are safer than illegal drugs. Hoffmann compared the effects of alcohol and heroin. He described how while the withdrawal effects of alcohol can be lethal, heroin withdrawals can be "agonizing but people rarely die." He pointed out how heroin is one of the "most prohibited drug substances" while you can go into most grocery stores and buy alcohol off the shelf.
"Drug use leads to instant addictions"
Many people believe that drug users will become addicted after using one time. Research indicates that developing a substance use disorder usually takes much longer and can depend on a person's genetic susceptibility. Some people try drugs for the first time and have a bad reaction and never want to try it again while others have a pleasurable reaction. Hoffmann explained that "Reactions vary person to person."
"There is little we can do to reduce substance use"
Hoffmann combated the idea that there's little we can do as parents, concerned citizens and as a society to reduce substance use or the harms associated with it. He explained that even though there's no "magic bullet" that's going to stop every kid from using drugs, there are things we can do to decrease the likelihood of our kids using. He provided several ways including developing a good relationship with teens, talking to them, spending quality time with them, getting to know their friends, and helping them engage in positive activities. Hoffmann also explained that the greatest risk to adolescents is "unstructured social time." Teens who spend more than three hours without structure in their social activities raise their risk of using alcohol and marijuana by 60%.
Hoffmann concluded his lecture by encouraging us as a society to understand the influence of environments on drug use. He also encouraged us to not demonize people who use drugs but find ways to help, which starts with being informed. He also believes there is a lot of positive influence we can have on our children when we set positive examples and create strong relationships.

La pollicitation (du latin pollicitatio, pluriel pollicitationis) était, sous l'Empire romain, une pratique liée à la vie municipale et à l'évergétisme par laquelle un candidat à une magistrature municipale s'engageait sur une promesse de don.

Un des aspects de l'évergétisme
La pollicitation, promesse en vue d'un honneur (ob honorem), est à distinguer de la somme honoraire, qui devait être versée par toute personne élue décurion ou à une magistrature municipale. Le versement de la somme honoraire était obligatoire et fixe, son importance dépendant de l'honneur convoité et de la taille de la cité.

Rien n'obligeait en revanche à promettre plus : la promesse d'un don supérieur à la somme honoraire participe donc de l'évergétisme, cette pratique du don à la collectivité qui se développa parmi les élites des cités antiques à partir de l'époque hellénistique. La pollicitation trouve donc son origine dans les pratiques hellénistiques et notamment dans les epidoseis, promesse solennelle de don à la cité.

Une promesse qui engage devant la loi
À la différence d'une évergésie ordinaire – don spontané à la cité –, ou de la promesse d'évergésie faite dans le cadre d'une cité grecque, la pollicitation, dans le monde romain, engageait très fortement celui qui la formulait. Une fois élu, il pouvait être légalement exigible qu'il s'en acquitte, ou à défaut que son garant ou ses héritiers le fassent.

La question soulevait cependant des points de droit divers : le chapitre 12 du dernier livre du Digeste est consacré entièrement à la question des pollicitations. En cas de retard dans la réalisation de la promesse, des intérêts pouvaient être comptés en plus de la somme initialement promise.

Un exemple parlant de cette pratique est connu vers 161 à Lambèse : Cestius Successus, héritier de Cestius Gallus, doit s'acquitter de la promesse de Flavius Natalis car Cestius Gallus était le garant de ce dernier. La promesse concernait une statue d'une valeur de  sesterces. Successus ne s'en acquitta qu'après un décret du légat qui faisait fonction de gouverneur, mais il ajouta  sesterces supplémentaires. Cette dernière somme représente vraisemblablement les intérêts qui ont couru sur une quinzaine d'années. De tels retards sont assez rarement mentionnés dans les inscriptions latines, qui devaient glorifier la mémoire et la munificence de ces notables locaux.

À l'inverse de ces évergètes récalcitrants, nous avons aussi des témoignages d'ampliatio, d'ajout à la somme promise par libéralité spontanée, peut-être en réponse à la popularité obtenue auprès de la cité, ou par émulation avec d'autres évergètes. Un exemple s'en trouve aussi à Lambèse quand, en 208, Sextilius Saturninus rappelle les dons faits à la cité : pour le flaminat perpétuel – prêtrise particulièrement honorifique – il s'est acquitté de la somme honoraire ( sesterces), a offert une statue d'une valeur de  sesterces, conformément à sa promesse (pollicitatio), et a ajouté  sesterces (ampliatio). De surcroît, il a payé une collation (sportule) lors de l'inauguration de la statue.

La formulation de la promesse
La formulation d'une pollicitation se faisait sans doute généralement face au conseil de la cité ou même devant le peuple de la cité, en un discours assez formel. L'engagement pouvait aussi prendre la forme d'une lettre : ainsi à Narbonne, l'un écrit que sa lettre doit être prise pour l'équivalent d'un acte juridique en bonne et due forme. La promesse devait en effet être faite très formellement, car la cité – par l'intermédiaire du conseil des décurions – devait explicitement manifester l'acceptation de la promesse. Le conseil des décurions votait donc un décret pour accepter ou refuser la pollicitation, comme il le faisait aussi à l'occasion des legs.

Les évergésies étant en général des monuments, elles supposaient en effet une intervention sur le sol public de la cité – voirie, parties communes – en théorie inaliénable : il fallait donc accepter le principe de l'assignation d'un lieu par décret des décurions (formule : loco dato decreto decurionum). Le gouverneur de la province, on l'a vu, pouvait être impliqué pour la faire respecter, il pouvait aussi se prononcer auparavant : surveiller les finances des cités et empêcher qu'elles ne se lancent dans des travaux trop coûteux et impossibles à achever était aussi sa mission.

Michigan Science Center Uses Guest Feedback to Initiate Positive Change
Amusement Advantage provided the intelligence needed to create surge in positive service perception
The Michigan Science Center just celebrated its third birthday. Located in the heart of Detroit, MiSci has been the Motor City's prime location for science education since reopening its doors at the end of the 2012. The museum acquired the campus and exhibits from the former Detroit Science Center, which closed in 2011, and was reborn just as the city itself was entering into its own renaissance. The Michigan Science Center has Michigan's only Chrysler IMAX Dome Theatre, the Dassault Systèmes Planetarium, the DTE Energy Sparks Theater, the Chrysler Science Stage, a large hall designated for traveling exhibits, and a wide variety of hands-on exhibits.
The biggest challenge that the Michigan Science Center, or MiSci for short, has experienced since its reopening is connecting with museum visitors. Other nearby museums, such as The Henry Ford and the neighboring Detroit Institute of Arts, have firm roots in Detroit and have built strong reputations over time. Without having the established history, MiSci struggled to deliver the experience it intended. Since many of its exhibits were part of the old museum's collection, guests quickly felt that the new museum was already outdated.
Without having the luxury of a substantial sum of funding, MiSci knew that overhauling all of the exhibits was not an option to be considered. Rather, they turned to Amusement Advantage, Inc. to help understand how guests perceived the museum, and what steps could be taken to improve service culture, which would in turn enhance the perception that guests had of the museum. For 20 years, Amusement Advantage has been helping attractions understand what their guests are experiencing, and how they can improve the experience to further their success.
"Although the vast majority of our guests reported 'excellent' through 'satisfactory' experiences, we were aware of a variety of issues that guests had at the Center," said COO John Anderson. Anderson joined the museum's Executive Team in early 2015 after overseeing various operations at the Detroit Zoo for more than 20 years. "We knew that our core strength was in the incredible experiences created by our team – our live stage shows, theater presentations, and hands-on small-group interactions are unique and central to our mission to inspire our community to discover and explore science, technology, engineering, and math. But science centers are also full of hands-on exhibits and equipment – in our case, items that our visitors had experienced for many years. So, the question was, where to put the bulk of our modest resources: updates to physical exhibits, or strengthening our live programs."
Michigan Science Center engaged Amusement Advantage to perform its Public Feedback Analysis program to uncover the answer to this question. Amusement Advantage collected data from TripAdvisor and Yelp, beginning when the museum reopened its doors, through the end of September of 2015. Additionally, the analysis compared the MiSci's reviews with online feedback retrieved from five of the museum's competitors during the same time period.
Joshua Liebman, Amusement Advantage's Director of Business Development, explains the process. "We don't just look at the attraction's overall rating or the number of dots that the guest gives. We go deeper." Liebman continued to explain that the analysis uses a unique system to mine the data, and offers a much more in-depth look at the reviews than by just reading them. "Through our system, we have the ability to take a subjective comment and convert that into quantifiable, actionable data. By processing all of MiSci's reviews, along with their competitors, we were able to shed light onto what their priorities should be in regards to investing in the guest experience."
In mid-October, Amusement Advantage reported back to the Michigan Science Center with the results from the analysis. Using the recommendations provided, MiSci took immediate action. The day after receiving the report, the science center formally activated a new "public interaction" initiative, redeploying their existing staff members and volunteers within the facility, to positioning them strategically in areas that Amusement Advantage identified as "hotspots" for complaints. Staff members in this new position were specifically prepared to address issues before they arose, and were equipped with tools to provide "wow moments" to guests, in an aggressive move to maximize what the analysis showed to be the museum's top compliments. Lastly, MiSci put in place new initiatives to collect more feedback from guests, a direct recommendation from the analysis. As a result, there was a large shift in how guests communicated their feedback.
Amusement Advantage revisited the analysis again in late December of 2015. By using only reviews and comments from guests in the 4th quarter, the new analysis was able to present a before-and-after comparison that proved the success of the new initiatives. Astonishingly, the second analysis uncovered a 90% increase in positive service-related comments, just in the last 3 months of the year, compared with the first analysis, which reviewed the museum's entire history since opening nearly 3 years prior.
It was also noted that because of the steps put in place to collect more feedback, the volume of service-related complaints also rose by 15%. While this is notably less than the increase in praise, further review indicated that the bulk of the new complaints addressed minor operational issues that will be corrected through SOP modifications and coaching. "The Michigan Science Center is thrilled with Amusement Advantage's unique and detailed analysis of our guest feedback." Anderson reported. "Because our overall service quality has increased, we have naturally seen a growth in engagement as well. Since guests are happier, they are staying at the museum longer, participating in more experiences, and seeing the value in all we have to offer. Since October, we've broken our single-day attendance record and maintained the quality and value of the Michigan Science Center experience. The work that Amusement Advantage did has had a direct impact on our business, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them." While there has been immediate success, MiSci knows that it must continue understanding what their guests are experiencing, especially as the dynamic continues to shift. The Michigan Science Center needs to continue understanding what their guests are experiencing, how they are communicating their feedback to the museum, and controlling the overall perception of the museum's quality. This case was able to shed light on the museum's reputation for its first three years of operation, and continued focus on the guest experience will allow for the Michigan Science Center to continue growing into the future.

Click the button below to add the George Whitefield, Vol. 1 by Arnold Dallimore (Hardcover) to your wish list.
Well, I finally saved up the money and sprung for this two-volume full-length account of the life of George Whitefield. I had whetted my appetite on the abbreviated volume "George Whitefield: God's Anointed Servant in the Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century" by the same author. I can honestly say this is one of the best investments I've ever made. Reading the life of such a great saint--this Christ-loving, gospel-centered minister--has served to rekindle my passion for the gospel and rejuvenate the love of God in my soul more than once. I most highly recommend it.
This Volume: This is the FIRST volume of Dallimore's two-volume biography of George Whitefield. This is very important if you intend on buying one volume now and purchasing the other later. The information on the Banner of Truth (the publisher's) website is incorrect--the green volume is volume #1 (picture of Whitefield in a field surrounded by a crowd) and the red volume is #2 (picture of an older Whitefield in a church pulpit). I had to wait an extra few months to recieve the first volume before I could begin reading either. Each volume is about 600 pages in length and is chock full of stories, information and insightful commentary. Dallimore does not spare the details of the lives of those closest to Whitfield--including John Cennick, Howell Harris, Jonathan Edwards, and of course John and Charles Wesley. This first volume deals with the period of time from Whitefield's birth, through the advent of the open-air ministry and his first visit to North America and closes with his return to England in the wake of Wesley's controversial ministry.

Based on a sample of countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, this book sets out areas in which governments could focus to improve the quality of public expenditures. It seeks to identify, from a regional perspective, first, the cross-cutting strengths and weaknesses of public financial management and procurement systems, and second, the characteristics of and lessons that can be learned from reform programs. In undertaking this analysis, the authors have taken a particular interest in establishing what role civil society organizations may have played, or could play, in promoting transparency and accountability in the public sector. More specifically, this book focuses on the specific institutional arrangements and the policy choices that underpin the management of public finances, which are set out primarily in a sample of publicly available Country Financial Accountability Assessments and Country Procurement Assessment Reports undertaken by the World Bank and its development partners.


We love to join materials to create unique and very personal furniture! We have compiled several ideas where wood and glass sofa table come together to make unique tables that we show you below, in case you are looking for ideas for your next side table furniture. Do you have a design that goes around your head? Typical of old houses, the round glass tables are coming back with great force and will be a trend in 2018 thanks to the beautiful vintage style they will occupy in your home.
Both at low center tables and dining tables, a wooden base with glass sofa table surface is a good option to give a distinctive touch to your furniture. Another type of alternative furniture is to play with the materials and use them in reverse: with a wooden board but with the glass base, you will get an original and unique piece of furniture that can give a lot of play to your decoration.
You will have to be careful with the smallest, that is, because the glass can be damaged by one of its tricks. Undoubtedly, the wooden and glass sofa table that take most are the center tables, to be placed in front of the sofa and used as a junction in the dining room. The possibilities of these are endless and we can create striking and original designs for your home.

"Oh, we've just had an explosion!" said Caroline George.
North face of the Eiger. One day ascent with hubby/daddy Adam George in Spring 2011, right before getting pregnant. Photo by Jon Griffith.
Mom to three-and-a-half-month-old, Olivia, Caroline was Skyping (sans video) with me from Chamonix and breastfeeding at the same time. Cool as a cucumber, she didn't seem too fazed by the eruption. Considering her portfolio of incredible ascents and expeditions, I have a feeling it takes a lot more than spit-up (or poop) to upset this IFMGA/UIAGM-certified guide and professional alpinist.
What brought this outdoor adventurer to parenthood? As I was exploring the possibilities for The Adventures in Parenthood Project, I came across a blog post that Caroline wrote for Into the Mountains, the guiding company she runs with her husband Adam, who is also a guide.
In Next summit: Motherhood, Caroline wrote about her "prolific year" of 2011 that included climbing trips in Antarctica, Thailand and Jordan, ski guiding all over the Alps and a one-day ascent of the North Face of the Eiger. But in May of that year, she "hit a wall," literally. In her article, she describes how she and Adam were climbing the Grand Capuchin when she realized she didn't want to be there that day. When she reached the anchor, she looked at him, tears in her eyes, and told him she "just wanted to be home and make babies." And so they did. Well, they made one.
Caroline is a fascinating and inspiring woman in the way she has found balance as an outdoor adventurer amidst her experience with pregnancy and entering parenthood. While her opportunities to be outdoors have been altered somewhat – sometimes she is only able to take short excursions out – she has not sacrificed or compromised something she knows she needs.
Motherly love. Photo taken by Caroline's mother.
As Caroline pointed out, the negative reactions came from male respondents, some who were concerned that she was endangering a baby who "can't speak for itself," with positive reactions coming from both men and women. We wondered why that is, and speculated that perhaps some men reacted negatively because they had more difficulty gauging how a woman might be feeling, not being able to know what it feels like to be in her body during pregnancy. What do you think? Review the photo and please Leave a (friendly) Reply below with your perspective.
Thanks, Caroline for an insightful conversation. Up next, I've got interviews with Mark and Brooke of Adventure Parents and Tanya Koob of Family Adventures in the Canadian Rockies.
Caroline and the photo of her ski touring is very inspiring! Just when I was starting to question how my winter will look this year (currently 18 weeks pregnant), this gave me a little pick me up. Thanks for the post!
I read the post, and I am definitely starting to relate with what you are saying there. It's a definitely a huge mental challenge to not be physically able to do what I'm used to. Hopefully I'll be able to 'just be' soon too. In any event, it makes me appreciate the things I have done in the past just that much more!!

Q: Can I export service constants via "x typescript" command? I have a search service and I would like the "default search query" constant to be exported to typescript for use in some clients.
I have the following line in my .cs DTO
public string DefaultQuery { get; set; } = "default query";
But when I inspect my dto.ts it appears like this:
public defaultQuery: string;
Is there a way to get the value to come through rather than just a type definition?

A: No, translated DTOs only capture the Type definitions of the API contract, they don't contain any behavior.

Some might say that it's "Mission Accomplished" for far field microphone beam forming and acoustic echo cancellation. On thinking about this today, we're definitely at the point of diminishing returns for performance. Having a mic work 3 more feet away or at 5 dB more will not lead to significantly more joy to the user.
There are still challenges left in far field voice interaction that will be cracked over the next few years: the cocktail party problem, multiple user transcription, and whisper detection, among others. There will be tens of millions of research dollars poured into these resolving these last issues. However, we're now at a point where far field is good enough for the speech recognition engines to take over the clean up and process the audio.
As the quality of STT in all scenarios gets better, we'll be pushed more to making the interaction itself and the delight the user gets at it worthwhile and compelling in the first place. This means new applications and services, not just new technologies.

As deep freeze sets in, people urged to help most vulnerable
By: Associated Press |
Portland | Published: December 29, 2017 4:55:14 PM
As a deep freeze sets in across half the country, officials are urging people to help those most vulnerable, especially the homeless and the elderly.
Forecasters warned people to be wary of hypothermia and frostbite from the arctic blast that's gripping a large swath from the Midwest to the Northeast, where the temperature, without the wind chill factored in, dipped to minus 32 (minus 35 Celsius) on Thursday morning in Watertown, New York. (Reuters)
As a deep freeze sets in across half the country, officials are urging people to help those most vulnerable, especially the homeless and the elderly. Forecasters warned people to be wary of hypothermia and frostbite from the arctic blast that's gripping a large swath from the Midwest to the Northeast, where the temperature, without the wind chill factored in, dipped to minus 32 (minus 35 Celsius) on Thursday morning in Watertown, New York. The prolonged, dangerous cold weather has sent advocates for the homeless scrambling to get people off the streets and to bring in extra beds for them. Warming centers also were set up in some locations. Boston's Pine Street Inn is sending a van with outreach workers around to persuade people to spend the night inside, but some said they prefer the streets. Segundo Rivera and Sean Stuart told the Boston Herald that they're not comfortable spending the night in a shelter. "We've lived out here so long it's like honestly, this is comfortable for us," Rivera said. A shelter spokeswoman said that if people don't want to go to a shelter, they're given blankets, warm clothing and a hot beverage, and informed of the dangers of extreme cold. The Ohio Department of Aging said older people are at increased risk from such severe cold, from medication side effects to falling risks. The department encouraged people to check on family members, friends and neighbors to make sure they're warm enough and have their needed medications and sufficient food and water. Animal advocates also urged people to remember their pets.
In Toledo, the humane society was looking into the death of a dog found "frozen solid" on a porch, cruelty investigator Megan Brown told The Blade. "I don't know how long she was out there," Brown said. A second dog was recovered shivering inside the home. The dogs' owner told The Blade utilities that had been shut off but he had been providing for the dogs while living elsewhere. He said he didn't know how one dog, an American bully, got outside. On Thursday, cold weather records were set from Arkansas to Maine, and the cold air will linger through the weekend, reaching as far south as Texas and the Florida Panhandle.
In New Hampshire, the cold set a record for the day of minus 34 (minus 37 Celsius) atop the Northeast's highest peak, Mount Washington. In the Midwest, temperatures in Minneapolis aren't expected to top zero (minus 18 Celsius) this weekend, and it likely will be in the teens (minus 11 Celsius to minus 7 Celsius) when the ball drops on New Year's Eve in New York City. A winter storm warning was in effect for much of Montana, calling for significant snowfall followed by dangerously cold temperatures as 2017 comes to an end. "People like to think of themselves as being prepared for the weather and things like that," Billings forecaster Dan Borsum said, "but this one will get your attention."

Kettlebells can accelerate the improvement of both the muscular and cardiovascular system, develop balance, coordination, strength and power.
Kettlebells are exceptional and challenging. Kettlebells can accelerate the improvement of both the muscular and cardiovascular system, develop balance, coordination, strength and power in a relatively short period of time. These Kettlebells are ideal for the beginner or advanced exercise enthusiast looking to utilise the massive benefit of kettlebell training.
By recruiting more stabilising muscles, the off centered weight of a kettlebell works the targeted muscles through a wider range of motion. (Dumbbells and barbell training does not hit those stabilising muscles to the same degree). These workouts can include anything from squats, throws, cleans, jerks, snatches, rotational swings and much more. Kettlebells strengthen the tendons and ligaments, making the joints tougher and less-susceptible to injury.
Kettlebells have a reputation for strengthening backs and engaging your core muscles. The lower back muscles were not intended to do the job of your glutes.
Constructed as one-piece cast iron, these vinyl dipped dumbbells are perfect for home or gym environments and the vinyl surface protects not only the kettlebell from damage, but protects your floor or walls from scratches that a normal kettlebell would do.

Cornish baker WC Rowe had never competed for a Baking Industry Award before, but a mixture of curiosity, pride and belief spurred them on and 2008 saw the company triumph in the Bakery Supplier of the Year category. Distributing branded and own-brand to all the major multiples - Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Somerfield, as well as Supplier of the Year award sponsor Sainsbury's - the firm has a story to tell and one it wants people to hear.
The business began back in 1949, four years after the end of the Second World War, when Bill Rowe set up a bakery and a shop in Swanpool Street, Falmouth. Nearly 60 years on, 17 shops now grace the landscape of Devon and Cornwall. The factory at Kernick Industrial Estate has been there since 1976, but has expanded from 6,400 to 23,000sq ft. In 2002, the firm secured Objective One Funding, which saw the creation of a 25,000sq ft production facility at Bickland Industrial Park in Falmouth, which opened in 2003."Most of our trade is with the multiples and wholesale customers," explains marketing manager Paul Pearce, son of managing director Alan Pearce. "Because of this, we appreciate that we need to grow our own retail estate to become more independent, so there are plans afoot to rebrand existing shops and look at opening new ones as and when the opportunity arises."Pearce worked on the shop floor from the age of 16 before moving into his current role. He explains the company wants to achieve as much coverage across the county of Cornwall as it can, but that both its location and the nature of the products have made it more difficult to branch further afield. "We pride ourselves on making fresh products on a daily basis, so obviously the further away you go, the more you're working against time and the fresh element of the product can diminish. Each of our shops receives two or three deliveries a day."Now employing around 450 people, the firm will celebrate its 60th birthday this year. "The growth has really come about since 2002, when we acquired our additional premises in Falmouth," says Pearce. "That allowed us to move all of our savoury products - for example Cornish pasties and sausage rolls - down to that purpose-built facility, which in turn enabled us to really target the likes of Sainsbury's and Asda with that type of product."Production is split across the two sites. The Kernick site produces breads, cakes and fermented doughs, whereas the Falmouth site produces savoury pastries.== Expansion on the cards ==Looking ahead, the firm has plans for future development and has just acquired additional premises down the road from its factory in Falmouth. "It will enable us to move office space down there, create more skilled jobs and, in time, increase our production facilities," he says. "We're also looking to forge more links with local colleges, so we can bring in skilled engineers and electricians."The company has worked closely with Sainsbury's to develop a premium scone range for the supermarket, from coming up with the concepts to getting them to market, explains Pearce. "They believed in the product as well, which encouraged us, so we went for it."The Taste the Difference scones were produced in three varieties - Cornish clotted cream, sultana, and Davidstow cheddar cheese. "We wanted to come up with a product with a very homemade feel. So, in theory, you could go into a Sainsbury's supermarket, pick the ingredients off the shelves and make the same kind of scones yourself." The company uses locally sourced ingredients, from within Cornwall and the West Country, wherever possible. "It's a policy of ours - for ethical reasons and to cut down on food miles," says Pearce. "It's not practical to source everything that way, but for example, butter, cream, milk and eggs are right on our doorstep, so why not use them." He also believes that if you can tell a story about a business and its products, people can relate to it and it can act as a unique selling point. For example, with products such as its pasties, Pearce says you can practically track the ingredients down to the field they came from.As an existing supplier of Sainsbury's, the supermarket already had a good knowledge of WC Rowe's business before the Awards and, as Pearce confirms, a good relationship with them. However, when asked what he would highlight about the business to a complete stranger, Pearce says qualities such as the importance of craft bakery skills to the business, local provenance and local ingredients sourcing, as well as the company's focus on competitive pricing. "I'd say that we are a very honest kind of business and the fact that we've been in business for nearly 60 years shows that we're doing something right."== Testimony to hard work ==The fact that the Bakery Supplier of the Year award was the first it had applied for, let alone won, was an added bonus, says Pearce. "It's testimony to a lot of years of hard work and dedication by the team, and acknowledgement from the industry, which is very important to us." He also notes that it has acted as a real motivator for the staff.According to Pearce, the judges picked the company as winners for a number of reasons: for the scones it developed, the local sourcing angle and the performance of the products in-store. "We achieved way above our expectations with regards to sales forecasts and we're still way above forecasts now. We've bucked the market trend, as the scone category was actually in decline, but now Sainsbury's sales in that particular tier of products is actually on the increase," he explains.Pearce reveals some of the firm's recipes have barely changed in the last 60 years, but other things have. He admits that, in the past, the company's approach to new product development has been "quite sporadic", but says that, from the beginning of this year, it will have a structured plan in place. It will analyse the different categories it covers with a view to refreshing some lines, and introducing some new ones into its shops on a more regular basis.The addition of a dedicated NPD manager, Nick Brown, over a year ago made them wonder why they hadn't recruited one sooner. At first, Brown was bombarded with ideas from all directions, so the company decided a more structured approach was needed. "Most importantly, it was to make sure that, when we come up with a good idea, it is landed and launched," says Pearce. "In the end, our success lies with focusing on our strengths and working them to our advantage."
