At the 72-hole European Senior Tour Qualifying School finals at the Vale da Pinta course, 52-year-old Jimmy Heggarty from Northern Ireland came back from a seven shot deficit going into the last round to card a 4-under score of 67 and lead the field, thus gaining his full card to play the Tour in 2009. South African Bertus Smit tied the Ulsterman's aggregate score of 277 but the latter earned top honours as Smit post a level par 71 in round four. Alfonso Barrera also escaped with his card, and in fact would have been the outright winner, had he not been penalized two strokes for practicing a putt that he had missed on the third green. While positions seven to fourteen gain cards in Category Nine from the Qualifying School Final, a further 12 players gained playing privileges for 2009 as Allan, Towne and Michael Lord all celebrate their 50th birthdays, and thus gaining eligibility for the Senior Tour, during the course of the 2009 season. The remaining four players to gain full playing privileges were Englishmen Peter Allan and Kevin Spurgeon, Alfonso Barrera from Argentina as well as U.S. pro, Greg Towne who led until scoring an almost disastrous 42 on the last nine holes.

Sun, 1st Jul 2007
The 'Algarve Ladies Open', an official Ladies European Tour event, took place on the par-72 Gramacho Course near Carvoeiro. After the first two of the three scheduled rounds, the cut was set at 5 over par. A total of 70 players passed the cut, and leading the field going into the 3rd and final round were four players tied on 7 under par: Jade Schaeffer and Sophie Giquel from France, Australian Joanne Mills, and Louise Stahle from Sweden. The scene was set for a close finish but by the fourteenth hole it came down to a duel between Sophie Giquel and Louis Stahle, with the latter leading until she bogeyed the tricky par-four 16th after failing to get down in two from a green-side bunker. The Frenchwoman parred the hole and then sank a lengthy downhill putt for birdie on the next green to lead by a single stroke. On the decisive par-5 last hole, most of the pressure was on the Swede to try and force a playoff, but she hit her second shot into a deep bunker in front of the green. Sophie Giquel confidently struck her long-iron approach to the back fringe and then chipped to about two feet for a birdie and a 10 under par total to win her maiden victory less than four years after turning pro, and just 11 days before her 25th birthday. On the same round, Lisa Hall scored a rare albatross on the 18th, and another Lisa (Sorensen) from Denmark sank her approach to the tricky par-4 uphill fifth hole.

The event was followed on 28th May by a Pro-Am Texas Scramble comprising of 24 teams and was won after a count-back. With a net score of 55 strokes by amateurs Antonio Moutinho, Pedro Silva and Joao Eca Pinheiro alongside their professional team captain Henrique Paulino.

Fri, 1st Dec 2006
There was an exciting conclusion to the PGA European Seniors Tour qualifying school staged at the Vale da Pinta course in the Carvoeiro area. All the usual sudden death play-offs for the top six full cards and 11 provisional cards for the 2007 Seniors Tour season created a sense of keen competition. However, two players created a stir when Spain's excitable Emílio Rodriguez and the much calmer David Merriman from Australia, tied on 9 under par and fought out a sudden death decider for the £3,500 (€5,168) winner's cheque. It was the Australian club pro from Sydney who triumphed at the 2nd play-off hole, a par-5 fourth hole, calmly sinking a 14-foot birdie putt after Rodriguez failed to reach the green in three following a wayward fairway wood 2nd shot ended up blocked out in the right-hand rough. David Merriman had previously said: 'As a golf pro you want to play competitive golf, so I thought I would come over to Europe and give it a crack'. Winning the event was the icing on the cake for him.

Pestana's new Silves course is taking shape fast and is programmed for opening in a few months time. The par-70 layout in a rural area between the towns of Lagoa and Silves has all the promise of a challenging course. Centuries-old olives and other trees, fast and undulating greens and fairways guarded by tricky bunkers will afford a true test of golfing skill for players of all handicap categories.

Thu, 1st Dec 2005
At the Vale de Pinta Course the PGA European Seniors Tour Qualifying School Finals were also affected by storm damage on the opening day but course maintenance staff, aided by many volunteers, made massive efforts to make the course playable. Full cards to play on the 2006 Tour were available for the top six players and conditional ones for a further eleven. It was 56-year-old Aussie, Stewart Ginn who came out on top with a steady 72-hole total of 274 (10 under par), with only 4 dropped shots. Until now Ginn who plays on the US Champions Tour, and winner at the 'Ford Seniors Players Championship' (one of the majors in 2003), he now wants to change his career and succeed on the European Tour. Winning the Q-School is a tonic to Stewart Ginn's aspirations. The other full cards went to Kurt Cox (USA), Bobby Lincoln and Bertus Smit (SA), Stephen Chadwick (Eng), and Rigoberto Velasquez who will turn 50 in September. His place until then will be taken by Angel Fernandez from Chile. Amongst the winners of conditional cards, who were involved in playoffs to secure them, was our Brian Evans the local Pro at Pinheiros Altos.

The important golf event of the month was the 'Portuguese Ladies Open', part of the Ladies European Tour and played over 54 holes again on the Gramacho course. The original sponsor of this event that offered the prize money of 300,000 Euros did not reach an agreement with the authorities, but happily in April an eleventh hour replacement backer was found. With the short time then still available and together with the on-going drought in the Algarve, it was difficult to put the course into the perfect playing condition required. Considering this factor and the unusual prevailing strong winds there were some excellent scores returned. After a 1st round of 5 strokes over par it seemed that Cecilia Ekelundh from Sweden would not retain the title after her maiden tournament win last year at Aroeira near Lisbon. However, she rallied with rounds of 66 and 67 winning by 3 strokes from Ludivine Kreutz of France. Aussie Cherie Byrnes and another French player Gwladys Nocera were placed a stroke further behind in equal 3rd position.

Sussex Orchestra raising thousands for cancer charity, celebrates the work of Tchaikovsky
Sunday 3 July 2022, 5:33pm
Video report by ITV Meridian's Charlotte Wilkins
Rehearsals have been taking place in Hove ahead of a performance by the Sussex Symphony Orchestra.
A celebration of the Russian composer, Tchaikovsky, will not only include 23 excerpts of his music but will reveal more about his life, and his connection to Ukraine.
The Sussex Symphony Orchestra is made up of professional and amateur musicians
The concert was originally planned two years ago, but then the pandemic hit and later, the invasion of Ukraine.
As part of the show, actor Jamie Martin will play Tchaikovsky, in full costume. He will be interviewed throughout the performance about his life and career whilst the orchestra plays 23 excerpts from his music.
All the musicians will be performing at the charity concert for free.
Conductor Mark Andrew James said: "An audience comes in, they don't get a whole symphony or a whole concerto, they get snippets and they'll go back and think: I want to listen to more."
Hundreds of tickets for the concert, being held at the Brighton Dome on Sunday 10 July at 3pm, have been given away free to NHS staff.
The show will also help to raise thousands of pounds for Macmillian Cancer Support.

Development of a huge "flying barrel" transport plane capable of carrying a hundred passengers inside its thick tubular hull is foreshadowed by recent successful test flights of the hollow fuselage plane shown in the photograph directly above, designed by Engineer Stipa of the Italian Caproni works. The picture shows: double cockpits placed on top of the cylindrical body, but in the refined version of the plane for large scale passenger traffic, the piloting compartment is faired into wing and propeller is driven through gears much like the dirigible Akron.

Stoops: 'We'll need to play a lot better'
Jon Hale
Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops made his weekly appearance on the SEC teleconference Wednesday to preview his team's game against Tennessee. You can read a full transcript of his comments below:
Opening statement: "Looking forward to getting back home and hosting Tennessee in a big matchup. Got a lot of things to get corrected and get straightened out this week. Disappointed that we did not play our best football this past week against Mississippi State, so looking forward to finishing this week off and having a great week of preparation and having a great game versus Tennessee on Saturday. We'll need to play a lot better."
On how important having players show leadership in stepping up to call for more work during team meeting is to building a program: "Yeah, it's very important to get the leadership from our players. It was a very good and productive meeting we had on Monday. I showed them a lot of things in the game that we did good and a lot of things that we did poorly and some things we all need to be held accountable for. And the players are taking ownership in that and want more out of themselves and their team."
Conrad ending UK's tight end drought
On how much stress C.J. Conrad puts on defenses with the way he's been playing recently: "Yeah, we – you've heard us talk about him many times. We really think we have a special player in C.J. He's getting better and better with every rep. He's a guy that's doing a lot of good things, whether it's blocking or catching. So, yeah, he can put a little stress on some people for sure."
On if Reese Phillips is available to play: "Yeah, he is available. He's back practicing full-go, and he's recovered from his injury. He's feeling good and practicing well."
On how unique it is not to play a backup QB until the seventh game: "Yeah, it's been unique. I wished I would have had some better opportunities to get him in the game prior to that, but it was good to get him some reps last week."
On the adjustment of moving to the practice schedule with a light day on Thursday and full go on Friday: "I think it has a very positive effect on us. We've played seven or eight, whatever it's been, we've played every game, we've played at 7 or 7:30, so the difference is if we took our last full-speed rep on Thursday at whatever time, 5 p.m., you're going a heck of a long time without any full-speed reps if you just walk through on Friday. So that's the theory behind it to get your body moving the day before a game, to get you moving fast, and get the tempo up on both sides of the ball. I think it has helped us. I don't think it was really too big of an adjustment for us when we first went to it and I think from coaches who have not done it, whether it be Coach (Shannon) Dawson this year or other people, when they come into the program and they see us doing it, they feel that there's more work getting done throughout the week doing it this way because Thursday is a good up-tempo walkthrough, so you're getting a lot of work done on Thursday, then Friday, you're getting another practice. So they feel like you're getting more practice and getting more work."
UK Practice Report | Defense needs to improve
On if he dials it back as season goes on: "We'll do the same format that we do. If I do dial back practice it might be on our big workload days, which are Tuesday and Wednesday."
On Josh Dobbs' evolution: "Well, I just think he's a very good football player. You see him getting better and better with every game, every rep. I think he has a great command of the offense and what they're doing and a guy that's very comfortable back there. He's throwing the ball extremely accurate when he's on rhythm and has time and they're setting up some very good play action with him and he looks very comfortable with it. Certainly he just has a great feel for the pocket and he's just one of those guys for a defensive guys, he's very aggravating because he has a great presence back there. He's strong. He can run it on designed quarterback runs, but he also has good feel for eluding pressure."
On Tennessee's running backs Hurd and Kamara: "I think you have to not know a lot about football if you gave any other answer than extremely impressive. Those are some talented guys. They're good, strong runners and just the whole package. Jalen Hurd is a special football player and so is Alvin. They're very, very good players and they put a lot of pressure on a defense."

Purpose/Objectives: To describe the adequacy of research information among people with cancer at the time they accept or decline participation in a cancer clinical trial.
Setting: An urban, academic, National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center.
Sample: 197 patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
Methods: Mailed survey; self-reported data.
Main Research Variables: Adequacy of research information (actual knowledge, perceived adequacy of information, and perceived understanding), cancer clinical trial participation, and satisfaction with the decision to participate.
Findings: Most respondents (88%) perceived themselves as having adequate information to make an informed decision regarding cancer clinical trial participation. In addition, 35% demonstrated adequate knowledge of basic clinical research.
Conclusions: Patients decide to accept or decline cancer clinical trials without having adequate knowledge.
Implications for Nursing: Nurses have an important role in educating patients regarding cancer clinical trials. The ideal teachable moment may not occur at the time of diagnosis; other less stressful opportunities may present when the patient is more receptive.


Cheap living in a tiny living area does not need to be learning to live without. This means in what you've more proficiently.
For instance, in 1994 we moved from the 1800 sq . ft . house to some 35 feet sailboat… about 60 square ft of standup room, recall the walls are curved on the sailboat. We'd all of the space we have ever needed.
We gone to live in this type of small living area because we would have liked to, the sail boat cruising lifestyle offered an enjoyable experience and adventure for all of us. I was not disappointed.
Point being you are able to reduce your living costs drastically by downsizing your house…to some home that does not float either.
It's a few choosing to make more effective utilisation of the space you've. Everyone knows there are certain rooms within your house you might not enter for days at any given time…the formal dining area, you may utilize it two times annually for holidays formal dining area same factor guest bed room…just when was it last used?
Obtain the idea…we don't use even 1 / 2 of the sq footage within an average home every week, not to mention an every day basis.
Don't even think you cannot quit half or even more of your property. Families in Eastern Asia and europe reside in crowded apartments not restricted to one family. So it's ridiculous to state that small space living is the fact that big an offer, it is not.
Cheap residing in smaller sized spaces can be done because you aren't busy caring for your stuff. Do you want the 2nd or third vehicle? Will you be needing the snow thrower or riding lawnmower in a tiny condo? The number of suits and dresses are you able to put on at the same time?
Are you currently picking out ideas for your will place a smaller sized cheaper living area inside your future.

Lisa Vanderpump Responds To 'Nastiness' On 'RHOBH' Finale As She Heads To Her Mother's Funeral In London
'I hope that after this awful year I can start life again,' the Bravo star told fans.
Rich Polk / Getty Images
Lisa Vanderpump is ready to move on with her life. After a horrific year that included the sudden deaths of both her brother and her mother, the estrangement from nearly all of her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmates, and her decision to exit the Bravo reality show she has headlined since 2010, Vanderpump took to Twitter to give fans an update on her life after the RHOBH Season 9 finale played out without her.
Vanderpump revealed that she is currently out of the country and did not watch the RHOBH finale, but that she heard all about how her former castmates trash talked her as Bravo's cameras rolled for the final Season 9 scenes. Vanderpump also revealed that she is ready to "start life again" after what has to be the worst year of her life.
"I didn't watch obviously, but the army at my house looking after my furry people did, and I heard from all of you about the nastiness once again. I am in London for my mother's funeral, I hope that after this awful year I can start life again. #RHOBH #9yrs Love Lisa Ken & Giggy."
Vanderpump was barely shown on the final episodes of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ninth season, and the grand opening of her Las Vegas bar, Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, was glossed over.
What a welcome @caesarspalace !!! ???????? #VanderpumpVegas
A post shared by Lisa Vanderpump (@lisavanderpump) on Jun 13, 2019 at 4:07pm PDT
Instead, Season 9 of the Bravo reality show ended with Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, and Teddi Mellencamp gathered around a table rehashing this season's drama. Mellencamp noted that she wished she hadn't gone along with Vanderpump's Puppy Gate "scheme," a reference to this season's storyline about Kemsley's adopted dog that ended up at a kill shelter. And both Rinna and Richards revealed they "ran into" Vanderpump off-camera after the blowout Puppy Gate fight that ended their friendship.
In some of the most biting comments about Vanderpump, Richards said she felt like she was "a lot more invested in this friendship than Lisa was," People noted.
Richards also said that after running into Vanderpump at Neiman Marcus, she felt "sad just because I realize that nothing is going to change."
"While I have great empathy for what she's gone through, I do, but it also doesn't excuse behavior. And also, this is not behavior because she was going through a hard time — this is stuff that she's already been doing since I've known her."
Lisa's mother Jean Vanderpump passed away in England on June 17. While it was originally announced that Vanderpump would miss the wedding of her Vanderpump Rules co-stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, she surprised the couple by showing up for their Kentucky nuptials on June 29, according to Hollywood Life. A source close to the SUR owner told the outlet that Vanderpump decided it would be good for her to go to the wedding in lieu of staying home. The insider added that "filming a joyous occasion after two weeks of mourning" would "lift her spirits."
While Vanderpump took a hiatus from filming her Bravo spinoff Vanderpump Rules in the days following her mother's death, the reality restaurateur only just flew from Los Angeles to London to be with her family ahead of her mother's funeral, Entertainment Tonight reports. A source revealed that Vanderpump shot some scenes for the eighth season of Vanderpump Rules on Tuesday, just hours ahead of her trip to the U.K. for her mother's memorial service.
Lisa Vanderpump officially said goodbye to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for good on Tuesday and thanked fans for their support. Going forward she will reportedly focus on her charity work, including her volunteer work with Project Angel Food, and she has plans to double the size of her successful West Hollywood restaurant, Tom Tom.

"I have only recently been diagnosed with Kennedy's Disease (mis-diagnosed Muscular Dystrophy in the 1980s) and I went searching the internet trying to find out what I could. I quickly found your site and am having a great time informing myself!!!
Thank you for being in cyberspace to meet me at a time of need."
"I thank God there are so many who will share their story to give others hope! My brother was diagnosed with SMA in 1996 and today after a subsequent visit to the doc, they now believe his disease is Kennedy's. I am relieved to know that it's similar to the SMA diagnosis. This younger brother of mine is a very special person and I'd like to have him around for awhile. Thanks to all who have shared their stories."
"My husband was diagnosed with KD last year. He is coping with the thought of having to use a wheelchair in the future. I think this is a good site to have, because it has some encouraging words. Thank you for having it available."
"My father passed away on September 10, 2002 from respiratory distress, brought on by advanced KD and lupus. I miss him very much. He was in the Ottawa Civic Hospital for almost a month before passing, and almost all of the nurses and doctors did not know about Kennedy's Disease. I want to thank the creators of this website. I referred them here."
"Finally diagnosed with KD after 3 1/2 years of testing. Thanks to a wonderful Neurologist and General MD who were equally driven to determine my ailment. That was 4 years ago, and am continuing to walk (slowly) and take care of chores around the house. Thanks to a wonderful family and stubbornness on my part.. I might be slowing down, but not giving up .... Am glad to see finally information being made available about this disease.. THANKS for the website."

They defeated Auburn, Mississippi, and Georgia to win the SEC tournament. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 1 seed in the West region. They defeated Montana, Iowa, Saint Joseph's and Utah to return to the Final Four for the second consecutive year. In the Final Four, they defeated Minnesota to advance to the National Championship game against Arizona. Looking to repeat as NCAA champions, the Wildcats lost in overtime to Arizona 84–79.

Following the season, head coach Rick Pitino left the school to take the head coaching job for the Boston Celtics.

Cairns is the jewel in Australia's tropical crown. With over 300 days of sunshine, plenty of space, friendly locals, and the World Heritage-listed Daintree rainforest and Great Barrier Reef side by side, it's easy to see why Mother Nature chose Cairns be the international hub of adventure vacations.
Cairns natural attractions rank as some of the most original and exciting in Australia. Golden sunny beaches flanked by pristine rainforest and the Cairns Great Barrier Reef make it a region that literally has it all! Swim, snorkel and dive among thousands of colorful fish and coral just off the coast.
Cairns is also an enjoyable and beautiful city to visit, bursting at the seams with attractions and tours. Cairns Esplanade, once a huge grassy park, now features a world-class facility incorporating an outdoor amphitheatre, a large sandy swimming lagoon, grassy picnic areas, walking tracks, free public barbeques, children's playground, shops and restaurants, an environmental interpretation center, and a Cairns Great Barrier Reef Cruise departure terminal.
Need more options? Perhaps you'd like to see a fire show before you drift over the Atherton Tablelands in a hot-air balloon, then touch down for breakfast with a lion, have tea with a cassowary, or lunch with a crocodile. Choices in Cairns are as vivid as your imagination - it's all up to you!


Current demand for long-term care exceeds the available resources. Review of the literature suggests work stress is a common experience for non-health professionals in paid caregiving roles (formal caregivers), and the experience differs depending on the context. However, no New Zealand (NZ)-based studies were identified in the literature review, and as such, it is unclear which factors contribute to work stress for formal caregivers in the unique NZ context. Furthermore, very few studies explicitly set out to explore the experience of work stress for this population. To meet the increasing demand for long-term care, it is important to enhance understanding of, and address the work stress that formal caregivers' experience. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of work stress of formal caregivers in the Auckland region.
This study used an interpretive descriptive methodology. Data from n=10 formal caregivers was collected using semi-structured in-depth face-to-face interviews. Data was analysed using thematic analysis to identify key categories and themes that captured participant reports of their experiences.
Findings suggested that formal caregivers experienced high levels of work stress, possibly leading to negative outcomes for the caregivers themselves, and their patients. Key themes were: having too much work to do, having no control over the work, feeling undervalued and under constant pressure, and not having sufficient resources to provide quality care for patients. Analysis and interpretation suggested: the caregivers' roles to be a complex and fluid experience as a result of an inherent, dynamic tension between the reasons to be a caregiver and the burden of caregiving. However, the impact that stress had on caregivers and their work appeared to depend on a range of factors that are potentially modifiable. These related to the person's context, their work environment, and their coping strategies.
Despite there being a significant body of work identifying stress as a component of caregiving roles, this appears to be the first NZ study explicitly setting out to explore work stress experiences of formal caregivers working at long-term care facilities. The findings contribute to the current knowledge about formal caregivers' work stress by identifying the challenges relating to the lack of recognition of formal caregivers', the unintended consequences of person-centred care and particular difficulties experienced by migrant formal caregivers.
This study has increased understanding of how formal caregivers experience work stress and demonstrated the complexity of that experience. The findings of this study could be used to guide the development of interventions aiming to improve both the work environment and caregivers' ability to cope with stress.

Baylor's Dave Aranda and Ron Roberts: two plums off the Delta State coaching tree
by Rick Cleveland January 22, 2020 May 10, 2021
Dave Aranda, former Delta State assistant coach, speaks at his his introductory press conference at Baylor.
You may recognize the names of the co-defensive coordinators of the 2007 Delta State football team. One was Dave Aranda. The other as Ron Roberts, who besides helping coordinate the Delta State defense, was also the head coach.
And you probably know the rest of the story. A dozen years later, Aranda has just left LSU, where he was the defensive coordinator, and has become the new head coach at Baylor. One of Aranda's first moves at Baylor was to hire Roberts as his defensive coordinator. Roberts had been the defensive coordinator at Louisiana-Lafayette.
Rick Cleveland
That's right. Aranda, who once worked for Roberts at Delta State, is now his boss at Baylor. Both are making a fortune compared to what they made when they resided in Cleveland. For that matter, Aranda was making $2.5 million at LSU, where he was the highest paid assistant coach in the country. Baylor, a private school, does not have to release the terms of its coaches' contracts. Aranda got a six-year deal. Groceries will not be a problem.
Southern Miss athletic director Jeremy McClain was the boss of both men as athletic director at Delta State. He is far from surprised at the success of either.
"I knew they were really good, both of them," McClain said Tuesday. "Obviously, you never know what the future holds but I knew they were going to be successful wherever they went. It was easy to see that."
Present DSU athletic director Mike Kinnison was the highly successful baseball coach with an office just down the hall from those of Roberts and Aranda. "Both of them were workers," Kinnison said. "They had tremendous work ethic. When I think of them three things come to mind. They were smart, tough and hard-working. To me, that's just what you're looking for in defensive football coaches."
Baylor defensive coordinator Ron Roberts once roamed the sidelines at Delta State.
It should not come as a surprise that the 2007 Delta State led NCAA Division II in defense and finished with 10 victories in 12 games. They held eight of their 12 opponents to 14 or fewer points. They won the championship of the Gulf South Conference, the toughest D-II league in the country.
"That was Ron's first staff at Delta State, and he put together a tremendous group, especially on defense," McClain said. "They did some tremendous things in a short amount of time."
In this writer's opinion, the three most important traits of successful coaches:
• Ability to evaluate talent and recruit players
• Ability to get your players to play hard for you. In other words, ability to inspire
• Having a knowledge of the game and how to use it. In football on defense, that means scheming.
If one of those is missing, success is a pipe dream. McClain says Aranda and Roberts excelled at all three.
Aranda was just 30 years old when Roberts hired him away from Aranda's alma mater Cal-Lutheran. Interestingly, Aranda's college roommate was Tom Herman, now the head coach at Texas.
"Dave (Aranda) was a quiet, take care of business guy," McClain said. "I don't want to get into the Xs and Os, but he was running that 3-3-5 defense that he has become so famous for. It really created problems for the offense. He had guys coming at you from every direction. It created some real problems for people trying to block them. If you talked football with Dave, even for a short time, you knew he was really knowledgeable about the game, and, like Ron, he got his players to really play hard for him. And, although he was quiet, he was a tremendous communicator. His players got his message."
Roberts had been the Delta State defensive coordinator for three years before being elevated to head coach. After 2007, his first season as head coach, Roberts stayed four more seasons at DSU, achieving a nifty 47-16 record and making the D-II playoffs in four of five years. He left there for Southeastern Louisiana where he resurrected a program that had had a winning record only once in seven years in the Southland Conference. In his six seasons at Southeastern, Roberts won 35 league games, while losing just 14 and won two conference titles. For the past two years, Roberts has been the defensive coordinator at Louisiana-Lafayette, where the Ragin' Cajuns have been to bowls both years.
You also might recognize the name of Roberts' last defensive coordinator at Delta State. He was Pete Golding now the defensive coordinator for Nick Saban at Alabama.
In fact, Delta State has become quite the cradle of D-I football coaches in recent years. Former DSU head coach Steve Campbell, who won a national championship, is now the head coach at South Alabama. Other former DSU assistants who are now head coaches at the D-I level: Jay Hopson (Southern Miss), Mike Bloomgren (Rice), Mark Hudspeth (Austin Peay), Jason Simpson (Tennessee-Martin) and Chris Willis (North Alabama).
Kinnison, by the way, has had no problems keeping up with Ron Roberts. Roberts' son, Reid Roberts, is a catcher on the DSU baseball team.

'Married At First Sight' star Zoe Hendrix opens up about co-parenting with Alex Garner
By Áine Ryan| 9 months ago
Married At First Sight's Zoe Hendrix is opening up about her split from Alex Garner.
The 29-year-old, who announced her separation in April this year, revealed on Monday's episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide podcast how she has handled the last six months.
Hendrix said telling the world about the breakup was "embarrassing" and "overwhelming".
"I felt a massive amount of shame and failure," she told host Julia Hasche. "I was thinking I had let people down. I had failed in the fairytale that a lot of people were invested in."
Hendrix and Garner share a one-year-old daughter, Harper-Rose, and have been navigating the world of co-parenting. Hendrix called it a "cruel and unusual punishment" for recently separated parents.
A post shared by Zoe Hendrix (@zoehendrix) on Aug 27, 2018 at 12:58am PDT
"This is not healthy," she said. "This system -- when you break up with someone, you're meant to go your separate ways. You're meant to be out of each other's lives. It's really a cruel system to have to see that person so regularly. It's not right, but it has to happen."
Hendrix explained that she has "90 percent" care of Harper-Rose.
"[Garner] has her one night a week and then usually for a couple of hours another day in the afternoon," she said, hinting that this is partly due to the fact Harper-Rose is still breastfeeding.
The reality TV star explained that she and Garner have a rule when it comes to co-parenting.
"No changes can be made to the parenting plan without at least two weeks notice," she explained. "So you can't just be like 'Oh, I can't have her on this day [without much notice].'"
Hendrix and Garner met on Season 1 of MAFS in 2015, and continued their relationship outside of the eight-week experiment. They welcomed Harper-Rose in November 2016.

Q: Solving differential equation , Calculate concentration of sands in water? $V=$ volume of water in the water tank
$M(t) =$ mass of sands in the water at time $t$
$K(t) =$ Concentration of sands in water at time $t$
$R=$ rate of water flowing out
Concentration sands in water coming in is constant.
If $K(t)$ is the concentration of sands in water flowing out, and $K_{in}$ the concentration flowing in. Then i have this equation
$$\frac{dK}{dt}=\frac{R}{V}K_{in} - \frac{R}{V}K$$
How do i solve this differential equation?
If $K_{in} = 10$, what is concentration of sands in the water in long run?

A: Substitution: $K_{1} = K - K_{in} $.
Then equation is $$\frac{d K_1}{d t} = -\frac{R}{V}K_1$$
Solution is $ K_1(t) = C * e^{-\frac{R}{V} t}$ where C is constant difined from boundaries i.e. from t=0.
Then $$ K = K_{in} + C * e^{-\frac{R}{V} t} $$
In long run $ K = K_{in} $.
NB: Solution  assumes that $ K_{in} $ is constant and doesn't depend from t.

A: Notice, $$\frac{dK}{dt}=\frac{R}{V}K_{in}-\frac{R}{V}K$$ $$\implies \frac{dK}{dt}=\frac{R}{V}(K_{in}-K)$$ $$ \frac{dK}{K-(K_{in})}=-\frac{R}{V}dt$$ Since, $K_{in}$, concentration sands flowing in, is constant hence integrating both the sides w.r.t. time $t$, we get  $$ \int\frac{dK}{(K-K_{in})}=-\int \frac{R}{V}dt$$ $$\ln(K-K_{in})=-\frac{R}{V}t+c$$  $$\ln(K-K_{in})-\ln C=-\frac{R}{V}t$$ $$\ln\left(\frac{K-K_{in}}{C}\right)=-\frac{R}{V}t$$ $$\implies K-K_{in}=Ce^{\frac{-R}{V}t}$$ $$\implies K=K_{in}+Ce^{\frac{-R}{V}t}$$
Where $C$ is a constant. Now taking the limit at $t\to \infty$ as follows $$$$
the concentration sands in water in long run is given as follows  $$\lim_{t\to \infty}K=\lim_{t\to \infty}\left(K_{in}+Ce^{\frac{-R}{V}t}\right)$$ $$K_{\infty}=K_{in}+C(0)$$$$=K_{in}=10$$

Skokie, Illinois Water Quality Report
Sources Of Drinking Water in Skokie, Illinois
Where does Skokie get its water from? Lake Michigan, by volume, is the second largest Great Lake and the only one located totally within the United States. It serves as a source of drinking water, fishing, and unfortunately...industrial run off.
The Water Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Water Treatment Plant and the water mains, valves and fire hydrants in the Evanston distribution system. The Evanston Water Treatment Plant is located on the shores of Lake Michigan, one of the world's most valuable sources of fresh surface water. The treatment facility has the capacity to supply up to 108 million gallons per day (MGD) of pure drinking water.
Our facility is municipally owned and operated and in addition to serving the residents of Evanston (population 75,994) we also supply water to the Village of Skokie and the Northwest Water Commission which is comprised of the communities of Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Palatine and Wheeling. The total population we serve is over 365,000. The water distribution system is comprised of 157 miles of water main ranging in size from 3-inch diameter to 48-inch diameter. There are more than 2,000 valves and 1,400 fire hydrants in the Evanston distribution system.

Contaminants Found in Skokie's Water Supply
3rd party independent testing found that this utility exceeds health guidelines for this drinking water contaminant. Human sex hormones (Examples: testosterone, estrogene, estriol, 17-beta-estradiol, 4-androstene-3, 17-dione) are sometimes detected at low concentrations in drinking water. Sex hormones get into water downstream from farms and drug production, or incomplete removal in the waste water treatment process. There are no standards or long term studies to gauge how risky additional hormones are for human health.There are no current guidelines from the EPA to determine whether these exposures are safe, or if they could pose a risk to human health. What are the risks of drinking tap water with hormones? Endocrine Disruptors. Once entering the body, endocrine disruptors can accumulate and intensify or block the effects of the body's natural hormones. As a result, the effects of endocrine disruptors most profoundly impact the reproductive systems of human by reducing fertility, and increasing the risk of developmental malformations in babies. Endocrine disruptors are also known to increase the risk of cancer, and cause disturbances in immune and nervous system function. Find out more about this contaminant and how to remove it here.
3rd party independent testing found that this utility exceeds health guidelines for this drinking water contaminant. Chloroform, is a total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) which is formed when disinfectants are used to treat tap water. Most of the chloroform found in the environment comes from industry. Chloroform enters the environment from chemical companies and paper mills, It is also found in waste water from sewage treatment plants and drinking water to which chlorine has been added. Chlorine is added to most drinking water and many waste waters to destroy bacteria. Small amounts of chloroform are formed as an unwanted product during the process of adding chlorine to water. What are the risks of drinking tap water with chloroform? Cancer, central nervous system (brain), liver, and kidneys. Cancer of the liver and kidneys developed in rats and mice that ate food or drank water that had large amounts of chloroform in it for a long time. We do not know whether liver and kidney cancer would develop in people after long-term exposure to chloroform in drinking water. Based on animal studies, the Department of Health and Human Services has determined that chloroform may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen (a substance that causes cancer). Find out more about this contaminant and how to remove it here.
3rd party independent testing found that this utility exceeds health guidelines for this drinking water contaminant. The movie Erin Brockovich alerted the public to the great suffering the little town of Hinkley, California experienced due to hexavalent chromium in their drinking water. Today, Hinkley is little more than a ghost town thanks to continued water contamination, health concerns, and plummeting property values. Chromium (hexavalent) is a carcinogen that commonly contaminates American drinking water. Chromium (hexavalent) in drinking water may be due to industrial pollution or natural occurrences in mineral deposits and groundwater. What are the risks of drinking tap water with Chromium (hexavalent)? Cancer. A 2008 study by the National Toxicology Program, part of the National Institutes of Health, found that chromium-6 in drinking water caused cancer in laboratory rats and mice. That study and other research led scientists at the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment to conclude that chromium-6 can cause cancer in people. Find out more about this contaminant and how to remove it here.
3rd party independent testing found that this utility exceeds health guidelines for this drinking water contaminant. Dibromochloromethane, one of the total trihalomethanes (TTHMs), was used in the past to make other chemicals such as fire extinguisher fluids, spray can propellants, refrigerator fluid, and pesticides. It is now only used on a small scale in laboratories. In the environment, dibromochloromethane is not found as a pure liquid, but instead, it is found either dissolved in water or evaporated into the air as a gas. What are the risks of drinking tap water with Dibromochloromethane? Liver & Kidney Damage. Animal studies indicate that long-term intake of dibromochloromethane can cause liver and kidney cancer. Find out more about this contaminant and how to remove it here.
Radiological contaminants
3rd party independent testing found that this utility exceeds health guidelines for this drinking water contaminant. Radiological contamination of water is due to the presence of radionuclides, which are defined as atoms with unstable nuclei. In an effort to become more stable, a radionuclide emits energy in the form of rays or high-speed particles. This is called ionizing radiation because it displaces electrons, which creates ions. The three major types of ionizing radiation are alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. Radiological contaminants leach into water from certain minerals and from mining. What are the risks of drinking tap water with Radiological contaminants? Cancer. Over and over again, regardless of the source, long-term exposure or brief exposure in high doses, leads to cancer. Cancers of the bone, liver, stomach, lungs, skin, kidneys, thyroid gland, and most other tissues are common, and medical science is still discovering other maladies that may be cancer-related. Find out more about this contaminant and how to remove it here.
What are the best types of filters to remove these contaminants?
RO filter systems do remove a lot of contaminants. There are 5 major downsides to a Reverse Osmosis System. The first major downside to RO systems is they are expensive. Most RO Systems cost 2x to 3x more than a carbon block system and usually have 4 to 6 small filters that need to be replaced each year. This means both the upfront cost and the yearly maintenance of the RO system will be higher. The second downside is that Reverse Osmosis wastes a lot of water. Each RO system wastes an average of 5 to 6 gallons for every 1 gallon of drinking water it produces. The third downside (and biggest downside of Reverse Osmosis in our minds) is that RO water filters remove trace minerals and other beneficial substances found in water that your body needs like calcium, manganese, iron and other important nutrients. This is why RO water is considered by many in the natural health world to be dead water and it is said that demineralized water is detrimental to general health due to vitamin and mineral depletion. The fourth major downside of RO systems is that after your water passes through the filter process, it sits inside of a steel drum that is lined with a butyl rubber bladder which is made from a polyisobutylene base. The filtered water sits in this butyl rubber bladder until it is used. All rubber bladders and plastic containers leach into water at some level. The fifth and last major downside regarding RO Systems is that because the RO filtration process strips out all of the good nutrients in water, some RO companies think they can add a "Remineralization Cartridge" at the end of the filtration process to replace all of the good stuff that mother nature originally had in the water (Yikes!). Also, most of these "Remineralization Cartridges" that we have seen in the marketplace come from China. Generally we have found that when scientists or business people try to mimic mother nature, they miss badly.

If you have always desired a more prominent chin without the need for invasive plastic surgery, then you have come to the right place. In the past, chin augmentation procedures involved invasive plastic surgery with long downtime for the patient and often very painful. Now days we can reshape or add volume to your chin with a minimally invasive office based procedure known as "Non-Surgical Chin Enhancement".
HOW IS THE NON-SURGICAL CHIN ENHANCEMENT PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
Utilizing permanent injectable fillers, the doctor carefully adds volume to the chin while molding the filler to the desired result. This procedure can also be performed with non-permanent fillers that last on average 6-9 months. This procedure takes less than a half hour to complete and is painless. There is no downtime and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after.


Orleans by Sherri Smith. Penguin, 2013. Currently available.
Face Value: I adore this cover. With fantasy and futuristic book covers, I find that the cover illustrators/designers can be reluctant to go into much detail. It's almost as if they're afraid to give too many details of the fictional world lest they betray the reader's vision. The cover of Orleans does not hold back. We see the ruins of New Orleans, juxtaposed with the green growth of plants rising above the water. And Fen is looking over it all. This artwork captures the devastation and new life that is rising from the spectacular fictional world Smith has crafted.
Does it break the slate? Yes. Oh, so much yes. Fen is wise beyond her years. She has been through some terrible, terrible things – but she has always been clever enough to survive and find a way out. What I find so fascinating about Fen is that she is so much a character based in a place. Fen is the Delta. Based on the survival skills and ingenuity she shows throughout the book, I have no doubt that she could escape and fine a new life on the other side of the wall. Yet, that's never something she considers. She was born here and she will die here. The Delta is in her blood…literally.
Review: Rejoice, my reading friends, for dystopias are not dead. Though they may be flooding the market, there are still futuristic novels that stand out. Orleans is one of those shining gems. Sherri Smith has built a futuristic world with clarity. The Delta of the future has seceded from the continental United States as a measure of quarantine. After a series of increasingly devastating hurricanes, the population is wiped out and infrastructure ruined. The few who survived succumb to a horrific blood disease called Delta fever. It is untreatable, and it ravages those who are left.
The residents of the Delta have restructured society in order to survive. They organize themselves into tribes based on blood type, because it reduces transition of the Delta Fever. Racism based on skin color is no longer a factor in the Delta because their isolation from the outside world has caused an intermingling of races. Now, blood type is the factor upon which your fate is based. It is a sinister twist, and a scary prospect. If humans ever manage to move past racism, will we still find ways to separate ourselves and discriminate?
The Delta of Smith's imagination is a believable setting. Although it's a terrifying notion, I wouldn't be shocked if this is where our world is headed. I attribute this to Smith's smart use of elements that are rooted in real life, such as severe weather and increased political unrest. The world of the Delta functions on motivations that are rooted in the very basest parts of human nature: love, greed, and survival.
Fen as a character is simply astounding. She has completely altered her identity and appearance in order to survive. Yes, there is nostalgia for her past life, but no regret. Fen moves forward during moments that would hold a lesser woman back. Circumstances lead her to become the primary character for an infant that she calls Baby Girl. Fen is nurturing, but that does not become her defining characteristic. She is a woman with a baby but she still maintains independence. Rather than compromising her freedom, her status as caregiver fuels her to fight harder and make a better future for Baby Girl.
Another fantastic element of this book is Fen's relationship with Daniel, the other primary character in Orleans. He is a researcher who has slipped into the Delta region to pursue a cure for Delta Fever. He meets Fen by chance, and they forge a partnership. Their relationship is not about romance, and THANK GOODNESS for that. It's about survival. They're not sticking together because of mutual attraction. They are working together to blend skills and knowledge to make the best team possible in a crappy situation.
The ending of the book completely threw me. Smith makes us trust Fen and her impeccable instincts, and then shocks us with the outcome. I don't want to say too much here because you should definitely go and get this book for yourself. We have to support authors like Smith who are putting out strong fiction featuring non-romantic male/female relationships and strong, intelligent women. I want to read more fiction like this.

Accessing Ordnance Survey Open Data, gave this site location data of over 22,000 places of worship. This was a good building block on which a lot of the data in this was is based. However, the huge task of processing this data e.g. adding name/dedication to the historic churches and rooting out and deleting the modern churches is still on going and we expect this will be for a couple of years to come. In the mean time we offer up this information in the hope that someone can provide names / dedications to the historic churches in this list. Information as to which are modern churches and therefore can be removed from this site is equally as important. Once all the data for a particular county has been sorted, then this page will be removed for that county.
