Boise and Meridian have different addressing grids. Boise's east/west dividing line south of the Boise River is roughly Gekeler Lane, so roads west of that are "west" and roads east of that are "east."
Meridian's east/west dividing line is Meridian Road, so anything east of Meridian Road to the city limits is labeled "east," then of course "west" in the opposite direction.
Not all metro areas are set up that way. Salt Lake City and Portland have single addressing grids that cross city limit and zip code boundaries. But here in Ada County the whole "west is east, east is west," not to mention "north is south" and "south is north" issue, happens on many roads.
A single unified regional addressing grid would be better for city and county governments as well as emergency personnel, but a change would be a complex, expensive, and most likely unpopular effort to undertake.
Dear Road Wizard: The intersection at Quail Ridge and Collister drives really needs some attention from ACHD. There is a stop sign on Quail Ridge, but it's set so far back that it's impossible to see traffic coming from either direction from the stop sign. As a consequence, most Quail Ridge residents don't stop until they get to the middle of Collister, risking collision with both northbound and/or southbound traffic. I have had several near-misses myself. I think there are at least two solutions to the problem. One, add stop signs for Collister traffic, or two, install mirrors that would give the Quail Ridge drivers a view of both uphill and downhill Collister traffic.
The stop sign is set back from the intersection because it's located close to where drivers must first stop and look for pedestrians before pulling forward to watch for conflicting traffic. This is generally the case at stop-controlled intersections.
If drivers on Quail Ridge pull forward slightly, after stopping at the stop sign, but not into the roadway at Collister, there is typically enough sight distance to see oncoming traffic for the conditions. History tells us there haven't been any intersection related crashes at this location in the last ten years.
But because the sight distance falls a little short from the stop bar, ACHD added an intersection warning sign for northbound traffic on Collister along with a 20 mph speed limit advisory plaque about six years ago.
The current issue may have to do with landscaping at the intersection. Vegetation growth can be a seasonal sight-distance disrupter, and ACHD will see if pruning is needed.
As for mirrors, they are not really a better option, due in a large part to the "Objects In Mirror Are Larger Than They Appear" issue with convex mirrors.
As for stop signs on Collister, those are not recommended because of low traffic volumes and a lack of crash history. In general, drivers tend to show less respect for stop signs that appear unnecessary due to infrequent conflicting traffic.


The key to keeping tennis fun for kids is to introduce enjoyable games to mix in with the drills and with match play to make it a lifetime sports.
This is where kids tennis drills and games are so important. It keeps a lesson fresh, exciting and full of fun!
We've put some of our favorite kids drills below that will keep the boys and girls engaged as they learn how to play tennis.
This drill should be using a modified net and balls, as shown in the video below.
A coach needs to arrange the boys and girls so that they are standing on a cone each. Be sure to have no more than 4-5 players per coach for this drill, to give each child enough room to hit their shots.
The coach will set up the cones a couple of metres away from the net, depending on the standard of the players.
When a child hits the shot in they will move their cone back towards the baseline one step, if they miss a shot they will move their cone in towards the net one step.
The first player to do this wins.
A good tip is to feed randomly to the children so they are always alert in ready position. This reduces any downtime that the kids have and will keep them actively engaged.
For children who are at a higher standard than the other kids, hit the ball to their backhand or make them move a little to hit the shot, this tends to even up the competition without the kids being fully aware of it.
The underlying love for tennis with kids is generally rallying.
Kids love to be able to rally, and it's one of the main reasons why modified tennis has been so important for junior development, as it allows kids to rally at a young age.
First to Five works on kids being able to rally.
The rules of the game are simple; kids need to rally 5 balls in with a partner and when they successfully do this they get a point.
If you have a group of kids split them up into even teams and have a competition to see which partnership can reach a certain amount of points first – e.g. 7 points wins the match.
It's important to have progression and regression when coaching. So if two players are not able to rally 5 balls then you should bring them closer to the net to rally, and perhaps even lower the height of the net.
If two players are finding it easy to rally then you should move them further back, or only have them hit certain shots, such as backhands.
Simon Says is a much loved kid's game that can be adapted for the tennis court. It's a real winner with kids, especially the younger ones.
For those that don't know, Simon Says is a game where the coach says to do something e.g. "Simon Says hit a forehand shadow swing" and the boys and girls must do it.
However if the coach says "Hit a forehand shadow swing" without saying "Simon Says" then the players who do it lose and are eliminated from the game.
There are a number of varieties of drills the coach can use for this including shadow swings, racquets skills (see next drill below), movement drills such as running to different lines on the court, touching certain parts of the racquet that the coach names and even hitting certain shots if you give each child a ball and enough room to swing safely.
Make sure the games are fast as there is elimination involved and you don't want kids sitting out for too long.
So if a game drags out for too long, be sure to declare joint winners and invite the kids who are eliminated back in for the next game.
The other option is to have the child who was just eliminated choose what the next task "Simon Says" the players must do, and let the coach know this by whispering it in the coach's ear, before the coach gives the instruction.
Kids need to learn how to "feel" the ball on the strings of their racquet. Self-rallies are a great way to learn how to do this, as the child isn't relying on anyone else to place a ball in their strike zone such as a coach. Therefore the responsibility is on the child to control the ball.
A child can learn how to control their shots by progressing through a range of racquet skills.
There are a number of different skills you can get kids to do including bouncing the ball down between their strings and the ground. You could then progress to hitting the ball up in the air, allowing the ball to bounce on the ground between shots.
The next progression could be to do this again without letting the ball hit the ground, keeping the ball "live" in the air the whole time.
Further progressions are bouncing the ball on one side of the strings and then quickly rotating the racquet to bounce the ball on the other side of the strings.
Once kids have mastered that they can try hitting the ball a certain number of times on the edge of their racquet, and if they're particularly advanced they can try bouncing the ball on their strings while having the racquet stretched around their back.
Racquet skills are a great learning tool for kids as the boys and girls can start with fairly basic skills and then progress to advanced skills that require advanced control off a player's racquet.
If you're coaching a group of young players then a fun alternative to this is the racquet skills relay race, where teams will compete against each other doing a set racquet skill as a relay race.
This could be simply bouncing the ball along the ground as they move towards a cone 10m away and then going around the cone and back to their partner to tag them.
The key to all kids' tennis drills is to make sure that they are easy enough for kids to feel that they are achievable, as the sense of accomplishment is an important motivating factor in skill acquisition and learning.
On the flip side it's important that the drills are still challenging enough to keep a player motivated to continue to improve and to help accelerate their learning.
Above and beyond all this, it's important that a kid receives an abundance of encouragement from their coach and/or parent. The coach is a source of empowerment and belief in the young child, and with this a love for the game is much easier to develop in the player.
Finally don't forget the golden rule. Everything must be fun! Fun is what motivates a child, fun is what makes them stay in the sport and become a life-long member of the game!
This game is for beginner players and advanced beginners. Kids love this game so much that they often ask for it even when they are advanced players, just wait.
The players line up at one end of the court, in a single file line behind the center mark along the baseline. The instructor stands at the net and feeds a ball to the first hitter.
Each child gets a certain number of chances to get a forehand or backhand into the doubles court (or singles, depending on your students' skill level). If he or she gets one in, he or she is safe. If not, he or she goes to "jail" by going to the other end of the court where he or she will try to catch a ball on a bounce, hit by another player.
If he or she catches a shot, he or she is free from jail and the player who hit the caught shot goes to jail.
When only one player is left on the non-jail side, he or she tries to hit three shots that don't get caught before she misses three. If he or she succeeds, he or she wins the game. If someone catches one of her shots, it's a jailbreak and everyone goes free as a new round begins. There are many variations of this game.
Some require players in jail to sit in one spot. Others allow a jailbreak any time a shot is caught. More advanced players should only be given one feed to hit a shot in. Younger players should be allowed out of jail if they simply touch the ball that comes their way. If the jail gets too crowded, you can limit each player to two steps to catch or touch a ball. You can adjust the rules according to your group's dynamics and skill level. Be sure to keep this fun game moving quickly and also be careful to sweep any loose balls off the court so that those in jail do not slip or fall on them.
Some teachers call this game a drill; it doesn't matter what it's called as long as the children have fun.
It is usually included in lists of fun tennis games for kids. Half of the children line up on one baseline, half on the other, both in single file lines behind the center mark. The instructor feeds the first hitter at the front of the line.
The hitter must hit into the singles court, then run to the back of the line at the opposite end of the court, always to the right.
The instructor can then feed the hitter on the opposite side of the court or allow the two teams to continue the rally.
It depends on the skill level of your group. If they are younger and weaker, hit soft shots that they can retrieve.
If they are older and stronger, allow them to continue the rally. Remember that the less instructor involvement in a game, the better.
When a player hits a shot out or misses a shot, he or she is out.
With 1-3 outs (depending on the stringency of your rules), he or she is out of the game. Once two players are left, they no longer have to run around the net, they simply play points (with a feed each time or not) until one of them accumulates 1-3 outs.
Be sure to tell the players at each baseline to give the hitter lots of room to retrieve each shot.
Also, make sure that the running path to the opposite court is free of loose balls. As players are eliminated, they can hit on another court. This game keeps kids moving and alert and improves their fitness level at the same time. It is an all-time favorite tennis game for kids.
This game is great to teach children racquet control and to improve their hand-eye coordination. It is especially good for young beginners, unlike games found on many lists of tennis games for kids.
Form two equal teams and have players line up single file behind the baseline, facing the net, with at least 10 feet between the 2-3 lines. Place a cone in front of each line, near the net. On "go", the first player in each line runs around the cone and back to the baseline, bouncing the ball on the ground with the racquet, as in a dribbling basketball drill.
When the first player in each line crosses the baseline upon his return, the second player can take off dribbling. This relay race is won when one team has all of its players across the baseline. With beginner players, keep a watch on those who might lose control of their ball and wander all over the court. Collisions can be avoided with good supervision. If you only have two lines, spread them out as far as you can to avoid such dust-ups. Young players will be gaining all sorts of skills as they yell and scream and have a ball with this game.
This is another fun tennis game for kids, especially those who are at a beginner level.
Have the players line up in a single file behind the baseline in the doubles alley. The instructor stands at the net on the opposite side and has one player at a time move to the middle of the court. he or she then feeds a ball to that player, either forehand or backhand.
The player who hits the ball over the net and in goes to the back of the line. The player who does not hit a successful shot must stand behind the baseline in the other doubles alley. This area is called the "bull pen" and the last player who remains outside of it wins the game.
Be sure to keep this game moving so that a large number of players does not have to stand in the bull pen, inactive, for too long of a time. Also be careful that your feeds do not venture too far towards the bull pen area, so that players will not take a big swing and smack a few of their friends.
This game has been used for many years for children who are just picking up a racquet for the first time. After your students have learned to bounce a ball in front of them and hit it, they need to learn how to hit a ball that is coming toward them.
As any player knows, this requires quite a jump in skill level!
The instructor should stand on one sideline and have the students form a line along the opposite sideline. Both instructor and students are on the same side of the court for this drill. The objective is not to hit the ball over the net, it is simply to make solid contact with the ball. The instructor gently feeds a ball to one player at a time.
Have one player step forward and the other children giving him plenty of room to retrieve your feed. After one bounce, each player should try to hit the ball back to you. Let successful players hit another shot back to you, up to a certain limit. Keep track of each player's high total for consecutive successful shots.
You will find that the children will compete very quickly to have the greatest number of good shot runs. You should limit the highest total to five or so to keep all players engaged in this excellent tennis game for kids.


middle east expert Michael Lüders in an interview with Deutsche Welle analyzed the latest confrontation between the United States and Russia. He believes that the US is already preparing the attack on the mainstay IS Raqqa and is not sure that the Russians will remain passive.
"It is clear that there is a dangerous potential for escalation. A replacement war is happening in Syria. On one side, the United States, the EU, Turkey and Persian Gulf countries want to drop Assad. Russia, Iran, and China do not want to in any case.
If therefore, they carry out such an attack that is now ordered by Trump, then, of course, there is a risk that they will not stay with this one attack. That thing is escalating and very quickly on Syrian soil, we will have Americans and the Russians on the opposite side of each other." Said Lüders. He added that Moscow believes that at this time they will not respond, but in the case of a new attack that could hurt the Russia and that we should expect a very rapid escalation.
"Let us not forget that the United States intends after the constitutional referendum in Turkey on April 16 to launch a land offensive with US elite troops to Raqqa, the main stronghold of IS in the east of Syria.
400 US troops are already stationed in Syria. Will it work to take Raqqa and then what? That would, in any case, mean a confrontation. How it will develop in time we can not know, but in any case, this is the greatest degree of danger," believes this political scientist, an expert on Islam and publicist for DW.
Less than 48 hours after bombing the Syrian air base to punish the Assad regime for chemical attacks, the US decided to show their power in the framework of the North Korean nuclear dispute.
A US aircraft carrier and its fleet are heading toward the Korean peninsula, the spokesman for the American command in the Pacific revealed, mentioning clearly the North Korean nuclear threat.
The US command in the Pacific has ordered an air-naval group staggered around the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson to be available and presented in the west Pacific as a precaution. Commander Dave Benham noted that the number one threat in the region remains North Korea because of its irresponsible, destabilizing program of missiles, and the continuation of research to have nuclear weapons.
The group is composed of the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson from class aircraft carrier Nimitz, air squadrons, two destroyers to launch rockets and cruisers to launch missiles. Although originally supposed to go to Australia, it went through the Western Pacific near Singapore. North Korea performed five nuclear testings since 2016 and two satellite images suggest that a sixth test mode is in preparation.

Sleepy Morning ( Waltheria americana ).
The adult moth has brown wings, with a number of incomplete jagged dark lines and white marks on each forewing. The males have a bubble in each forewing. The hindwings are plain brown. The moth has a wing span of about 2 cms.
The moths have been studied for the ultra-sonic songs produced by the males, using a vibration and twisting of the wings to act on the bubble in each forewing.

Imagine the scene. You are going about your daily business when there's a buzz on your phone. "Ah, It's my sweetheart," you notice, with a frisson of romantic excitement. "I wonder what she wants." You reach for the phone, the possibilities whizzing through your mind. Could it be a seductive photo, along with the offer of a hot weekend away somewhere? Or maybe she wants to compliment you on that awesome sandwich you made her for lunch? Do we need milk?
"I WANT A BABY," is all the message says; no context, no further explanation. Holy crap! Where the hell did that come from! Then the panic starts to set in. How to respond to this bombshell? With brutal honesty, or cautious logic? Perhaps some light humor? Or simply delete, block and move to another state?
This viral Twitter prank, started by @kelllicopter, cheekily puts this scenario to the test. "My roommate and I were a little tipsy and we were talking about babies," Kelly explained to Bored Panda. "My roommate said 'I'm gonna text my boyfriend and tell him that I want a baby,' and I thought it was funny. So I told my boyfriend @joeygllghr that I wanted one too, just to see his response."
"I just wanted to see what boys would say in that situation because sometimes they get a bit squeamish about that kind of stuff. There were a lot of 'maybe one day' kind of answers but there were also a lot of funny and unique ones too! I even saw one that was someone asking to play cup pong, just to avoid the question."
What would your response be? Scroll down to see the various hilarious ways that guys dealt with this (kinda cruel but funny) experiment, and let us know what you think in the comments!
Aw this is so sweet! I hope she doesn't crush his heart by saying "just kidding, it was a challenge".
Ahahahaha. Sounds like what my husband will say!
I love the "I lik the bred" memes. Made my day.
As if lesbians can't get a baby.
Practical thinking people still do exist!
This is the best response ever. This pair here seems like fun.
Dashing through the grass, comin fo dat- baby?
Are you dating the Fourth Joseph Dagnino, as in a royal name or are you at the fourth Joseph Dagnino as in you dated the other 3 too?
Good way to screw up a relationship. Either he wants it too and you didn't and now it's awkward, or he doesn't and you did and it's awkward, or you both do and you're piss poor and it's awkward, or... No thanks, I'll pass.
I totally agree. What's next, a marriage proposal by text? Just as a joke, of course!
Sad part is... it's been known to happen.
Pro tip: Talk about marriage and kids before starting the relationship, so it's clear where everything is headed.
Yeah but people change their mind over time, my girlfriend who use to be very akward around children and in no way wanted to have one is now saying she does in fact want to start a family, my views have not really changed.
people can compromise you know?
Agreed. Remarkably similar to when my ex fake-proposed on Valentine's day, then got mad anyway when I said no. WTF? It's a setup for failure.
You can call me stiff or humorless but for me it does not look like a funny joke. Ok, some of these boys and men actually found it funny. Good for them. Still, I can't help but think about all these scared or angry. Or those who were happy and ready to do it, because they always dreamed about a big family - what would you say after this? "Sorry, I was just kidding?" That is just awkward. And cruel. I don't think "having a baby" is something that you can acquire "just because" in a spure of moment. This is very important decision which should be preceded by a discussion. That is just dirty playing with other person's feelings.
I agree with you. But some of them seemed like they wanted one anyway, so they kinda combined the joke with the proposal, maybe?
If they are scared she can clear it up two seconds later with an explanation. If he gets angry at her for wanting a baby he has problems and she is better off knowing. If he does want a baby but she doesn't that would be really sad, but I think a lot of these women really do want babies.
I hope you're right. But it's kind of sad, if that's the case, that it took some meme for them to start talking about it.
Yeah I agree it's a single text not a "fake" legally binding contract in which once you answer you're never allowed to change your mind about, of course you will later have further discussion about it.
I really don't get this. Some of these men seemed really happy and excited to start a family, and it seems a little mean to get their hopes up for a Twitter joke.


Crab Dip – The warmness of the dip and the crab pieces was welcoming, but everything together just didn't have much flavor. It was like eating thickened milk with hints of green onion and crab.
Ditch Dogs – I could make this better, using store bought franks, buns, and mac and cheese! The mac and cheese atop the hot dog was missing salt, creating a blandness that drowned out any essence of the dog.
Lobster Mac & Cheese – Probably the worst mac and cheese I've had in the city. It was water-down, despite its creamy façade. What makes me even sadder is that lobster was thrown into the mix. The poor lobster having to live in a horrendously tasteless cheese and cream mixture!
*This place is overpriced and managed by very negligent service. The staff was unaware of the availability of their entrees. We ordered a lobster roll, only to be informed much later that they were no longer available. On top of that, they screwed up our drink orders and then forgot about us altogether.


In late December 2018, AT&T began a publicity campaign about the expansion of its 5G Evolution (5G E) network to 400 areas in the US. On the surface, it was exciting news given how 5G is being regarded by the telecommunication sector, the press and even politicians as much more than another generation of mobile access. Fifth-generation networks are expected to be the enabling factor for a new highly connected and data-driven economy.
AT&T claimed that its 5G Evolution network offers "a peak theoretical wireless speed of 400 Mbps", and that in the real world throughput would average 40 Mbps. The carrier also revealed that the service would be available on 17 existing devices. AT&T recently began over-the-air upgrades of several Samsung and LG smartphone models for its existing users, showing a 5G E logo in place of the LTE icon on the upper row of the screen of the devices.
What exactly is 5G Evolution and how could current 4G smartphones be upgraded to become 5G ones? First of all, it's not possible to upgrade current 4G phones to 5G. (We note an exception here: the Motorola Moto Z3 will be upgradeable through a special snap-on module containing a 5G modem and an array of antennas.) The devices that AT&T deems compatible with 5G E use technologies including 4x4 MIMO and 256 QAM, relying on more antennas and greater transmission efficiency to transmit data. These technologies have collectively been branded LTE-Advanced Pro, or gigabit LTE. Other carriers around the world have implemented these as part of their LTE Advanced upgrades.
Executives from AT&T have gone on the defensive amid criticism from rivals and the media (see CES 2019: Major Themes). They pointed out that AT&T's 5G E marketing is an effort to describe the "enhanced experience" the network upgrade would bring.
It's likely that 5G Evolution will in some cases be faster than 5G deployed at sub-6 GHz, bringing into focus the marketing headache that we've pointed to in the past. This is a challenge AT&T is now wrangling with, as it's promising nationwide 5G coverage by early 2020 at sub-6 GHz in addition to its millimetre-wave deployments in urban centers.
By referring to LTE-Advanced Pro as 5G Evolution, AT&T is hoping to simplify rather than trying to get consumers to understand why their 5G connection is in some scenarios slower than 4G. AT&T's early 5G claims might cause some confusion among a niche of knowledgeable subscribers and consternation among rivals, but there's a logic to the move that many are overlooking. There's definitely an element of marketing gamesmanship at play here too, but that's nothing new. It happened during the last big transition to LTE.
Moreover, AT&T is starting the conversation, building buzz and sparking an important discussion: what is real 5G and why would people want it? In this way, the carrier has done the industry a favour.
With its 5G E icon, AT&T is taking its case directly to its subscribers. If more carriers focussed on what 5G does or doesn't mean for users instead of looking over their shoulders at competitors, the industry would arguably be in a stronger position for it.

16.) The men got up from there and looked out over Sodom, and Abraham was walking with them to see them off.
17.) Then the Lord said, "Should I hide what I am about to do from Abraham?
18.) Abraham is to become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him.
15.) Do not love the world or the things that belong to the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.
16.) For everything that belongs to the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one's lifestyle—is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17.) And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does God's will remains forever.

9.) against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
10.) Now the Valley of Siddim contained many asphalt pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, but the rest fled to the mountains.
11.) The four kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food and went on.
12.) They also took Abram's nephew Lot and his possessions, for he was living in Sodom, and they went on.
13.) One of the survivors came and told Abram the Hebrew, who lived near the oaks belonging to Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and the brother of Aner. They were bound by a treaty with Abram.
14.) When Abram heard that his relative had been taken prisoner, he assembled his 318 trained men, born in his household, and they went in pursuit as far as Dan.
15.) And he and his servants deployed against them by night, attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah to the north of Damascus.
16.) He brought back all the goods and also his relative Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the other people.
