The Disability Services Act 1993 requires all local government and selected State Government agencies to develop a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP).
DAIPs assist public authorities to plan and implement improvements to access and inclusion across seven outcome areas, in regards to services and events, buildings and facilities, information, quality of service, complaints, consultation processes and employment. These plans benefit people with disability, the elderly, young parents and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Under the Disability Services Act, the Minister for Disability Services is required to table a report in Parliament each year on the progress of Disability Access and Inclusion Plans (DAIPs) in Western Australia.
DAIP Progress Reports are a useful resource to understand current trends in access and inclusion and examples of best practice They include stories about how public authorities, in partnership with the community, have responded to access and inclusion issues and made a real difference in people's lives.

Being locally and family owned isn't our only asset here at Terry Kay Cabin Rentals – we are also pet friendly! As a pet owner, leaving your furry family member while you go on vacation can be two things: expensive and stressful.
Boarding and overnight pet sitting can add up. If you look into having your pet boarded by a business you're looking at a cost of AT LEAST $25 per pet, per night. Add up that price for a four-night getaway – well, you get the idea. Being able to bring your pet with you on vacation relieves you of scheduling your pet to be boarded, accumulating costs, and the hassle of commuting. In addition to being expensive, leaving your pet at home can also be emotionally stressful.
Walking away from your pet in order to enjoy a getaway can be hard. Knowing they are probably longing for your return – is even worse. Instead of enjoying the fresh mountain air, great views and time away from home – you find yourself fretting over the furry family member you left behind.
Here at Terry Kay Cabin Rentals, we know how much your furry family member means to you. We understand the stress of leaving them behind; thus, we offer pet friendly cabin rentals! Renting with us, whether you are in the Wears Valley or Pigeon Forge area, allows you the opportunity to not only escape to the Smokies for the weekend but to do so with your WHOLE family.
With a wide variety of cabins to choose from, you can select anything from a wraparound porch to a fully fenced in yard for your pet to enjoy! Join us here at Terry Kay Cabin Rentals, where dog friendly lodging will allow your furry loved one to join you as you explore the Smokies. Enjoy a local hike, go bike riding or swim in one of the river water holes! The opportunities are as endless as the mountain views. Book your cabin today!

Broadcast is a collective communication primitive in parallel programming to distribute programming instructions or data to nodes in a cluster. It is the reverse operation of reduce. The broadcast operation is widely used in parallel algorithms, such as matrix-vector multiplication, Gaussian elimination and shortest paths.

The Message Passing Interface implements broadcast in MPI_Bcast.

Definition
A message of length  should be distributed from one node to all other  nodes.

is the time it takes to send one byte.

is the time it takes for a message to travel to another node, independent of its length.

Therefore, the time to send a package from one node to another is .

 is the number of nodes and the number of processors.

Binomial Tree Broadcast

With Binomial Tree Broadcast the whole message is sent at once. Each node that has already received the message sends it on further. This grows exponentially as each time step the amount of sending nodes is doubled. The algorithm is ideal for short messages but falls short with longer ones as during the time when the first transfer happens only one node is busy.

Sending a message to all nodes takes  time which results in a runtime of

Message M

id := node number
p := number of nodes

if id > 0
    blocking_receive M
for (i := ceil(log_2(p)) - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    if (id % 2^(i+1) == 0 && id + 2^i <= p)
        send M to node id + 2^i

Linear Pipeline Broadcast

The message is split up into  packages and send piecewise from node  to node . The time needed to distribute the first message piece is  whereby  is the time needed to send a package from one processor to another.

Sending a whole message takes .

Optimal is to choose  resulting in a runtime of approximately

The run time is  dependent on not only message length but also the number of processors that play roles. This approach shines when the length of the message is much larger than the amount of processors.

Message M := [m_1, m_2, ..., m_n]
id = node number

for (i := 1; i <= n; i++) in parallel
    if (id != 0)
        blocking_receive m_i

    if (id != n)
        send m_i to node id + 1

Pipelined Binary Tree Broadcast

This algorithm combines Binomial Tree Broadcast and Linear Pipeline Broadcast, which makes the algorithm work well for both short and long messages. The aim is to have as many nodes work as possible while maintaining the ability to send short messages quickly. A good approach is to use Fibonacci trees for splitting up the tree, which are a good choice as a message cannot be sent to both children at the same time. This results in a binary tree structure.

We will assume in the following that communication is full-duplex. The Fibonacci tree structure has a depth of about whereby the golden ratio.

The resulting runtime is . Optimal is .

This results in a runtime of .

Message M := [m_1, m_2, ..., m_k]

for i = 1 to k
    if (hasParent())
        blocking_receive m_i

    if (hasChild(left_child))
        send m_i to left_child

    if (hasChild(right_child))
        send m_i to right_child

Two Tree Broadcast (23-Broadcast)

Definition
This algorithm aims to improve on some disadvantages of tree structure models with pipelines. Normally in tree structure models with pipelines (see above methods), leaves receive just their data and cannot contribute to send and spread data.

The algorithm concurrently uses two binary trees to communicate over. Those trees will be called tree A and B. Structurally in binary trees there are relatively more leave nodes than inner nodes. Basic Idea of this algorithm is to make a leaf node of tree A be an inner node of tree B. It has also the same technical function in opposite side from B to A tree. This means, two packets are sent and received by inner nodes and leaves in different steps.

Tree construction

The number of steps needed to construct two parallel-working binary trees is dependent on the amount of processors. Like with other structures one processor can is the root node who sends messages to two trees. It is not necessary to set a root node, because it is not hard to recognize that the direction of sending messages in binary tree is normally top to bottom. There is no limitation on the number of processors to build two binary trees. Let the height of the combined tree be . Tree A and B can have a height of . Especially, if the number of processors correspond to , we can make both sides trees and a root node.

To construct this model efficiently and easily with a fully built tree, we can use two methods called "Shifting" and "Mirroring" to get second tree. Let assume tree A is already modeled and tree B is supposed to be constructed based on tree A. We assume that we have  processors ordered from 0 to .

Shifting

The "Shifting" method, first copies tree A and moves every node one position to the left to get tree B. The node, which will be located on -1, becomes a child of processor .

Mirroring

"Mirroring" is ideal for an even number of processors. With this method tree B can be more easily constructed by tree A, because there are no structural transformations in order to create the new tree. In addition, a symmetric process makes this approach simple. This method can also handle an odd number of processors, in this case, we can set processor  as root node for both trees. For the remaining processors "Mirroring" can be used.

Coloring

We need to find a schedule in order to make sure that no processor has to send or receive two messages from two trees in a step. The edge, is a communication connection to connect two nodes, and can be labelled as either 0 or 1 to make sure that every processor can alternate between 0 and 1-labelled edges. The edges of  and  can be colored with two colors (0 and 1) such that

 no processor is connected to its parent nodes in  and  using edges of the same color-
 no processor is connected to its children nodes in  or  using edges of the same color.

In every even step the edges with 0 are activated and edges with 1 are activated in every odd step.

Time complexity

In this case the number of packet k is divided in half for each tree. Both trees are working together the total number of packets  (upper tree + bottom tree)

In each binary tree sending a message to another nodes takes  steps until a processor has at least a packet in step . Therefore, we can calculate all steps as .

The resulting run time is . (Optimal  )

This results in a run time of .

ESBT-Broadcasting (Edge-disjoint Spanning Binomial Trees)

In this section, another broadcasting algorithm with an underlying telephone communication model will be introduced. A Hypercube creates network system with . Every node is represented by binary  depending on the number of dimensions. Fundamentally ESBT(Edge-disjoint Spanning Binomial Trees) is based on hypercube graphs, pipelining( messages are divided by  packets) and binomial trees. The Processor  cyclically spreads packets to roots of ESBTs. The roots of ESBTs broadcast data with binomial tree. To leave all of  from ,  steps are required, because all packets are distributed by . It takes another d steps until the last leaf node receives the packet. In total  steps are necessary to broadcast  message through ESBT.

The resulting run time is . .

This results in a run time of .

I just… I wanted to be with you for a little while, someplace where nobody could find us. I think.." He hesitated, and then confessed the truth. "Ginny, I think I wanted to tell you these secrets all along."
"Maybe." Her mouth quirked up. "But you could have told me at the very start that this was your grandfather's lodge, you know."
"I should have done," he admitted. "Honesty is not a Malfoy trait, Ginny."
She rolled her eyes. "As if I really needed to be reminded of that."
He enclosed her hand in his, feeling her small, strong fingers. "But I've told you the truth about everything now. You do believe me, don't you?"
"Yes," she sighed, moving back against the headboard, bringing him with her so that they were seated more comfortably. "I wish I didn't. I wish I thought you were only lying, or even bragging, trying to make yourself sound more important than you are. But I know you told the truth."

Ginny tried again, deciding that it was time for her glowering blond companion to help her out whether he wanted to not.

Draco clamped his hand around her waist like a band of iron. Oh, no, Ginny thought despairingly. This was not going well.
"She's mine alone," said Draco.
"But she's got other customers, right?" asked Theo.
"She is not to be shared," said Draco. "I… ah… don't share my toys. You ought to remember that, Nott."
"But if she's no more than a toy, then it shouldn't matter." Nott's expression was turning crafty. Suddenly, Ginny had a very, very bad feeling about what might happen next.

Chapter THREE quote of the day:
Ginny Weasley? Draco's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked back at her from the end of the aisle. Yes. She'd changed so much in the past two months that it was difficult, at first, to tell. Greatly for the better, his mind added. In February, she'd been pretty enough but gawky, clumsy, unfinished. Her huge brown eyes seemed to be growing much faster than the rest of her face; her bright red hair flew in all directions as if trying to escape; her long legs and slender arms bumped against every chair and desk and wall as if they'd appeared too suddenly for her to know how to control them.
But now.. but now she seemed to have grown into herself. Her light cotton robes, wet with perspiration, fit her like a glove. He paused where he was standing and watched her, the way he might stop for a moment to appraise a purebred filly in one of the Kentish fields about Malfoy Manor. She was scrambling up onto a step stool to reach a high shelf now. She lifted her robes to the side, revealing well-toned legs. Draco admired the turn of calves and thighs and slim waist and firm breasts quite dispassionately. Wonder if those Weasleys have any veela blood…none of the others seem to, maybe her mother had a bit on the side sixteen years back… Yet she wasn't beautiful, not really. Her cheekbones were too wide, her chin too pointed, her eyes too big for her face. Her hands and feet were too large. She certainly didn't have the frail, delicate quality he liked to see in girls.
She was moving like a frightened rabbit. Had she seen him? Was he scaring her that much? He couldn't help smirking at the thought. Good. Yet he kept watching her.

Epilogue Quote of the Day:
He struggled to prop himself up on an elbow. "Lovegood—Luna-- do you remember being… I really don't have the least idea how to explain this… somewhere else?"
"Somewhere that looked like King's Cross Station?" asked Luna.
"Yes!" Draco tried to sit up all the way and failed, flopping back down onto the bed.
A thoughtful look came over her face. "I think that I do, but I don't believe that anyone else does. Maybe it's better that way."
"Probably. Look, uh… where's Ginny?"

The Girl With the Taxi Driver by Anise (Reviews - 49)
The war is over, and so is Draco Malfoy's world. He has run as far as he can, and now, as a taxi driver in a world that has no more magic, he has come to the end of the line... or so he thinks. But when he finds the former Ginny Weasley, he learns just how many mysteries remain to be solved... and how much hope can still be found.
Chapter SEVEN quote of the day:
At three in the morning, Draco turns off the sign on top of his cab and pulls into the parking lot of the pancake house. He sees her small figure tucked into a seat in the corner table. It sends a pang of something like fear through him when he gets an inkling of just how happy he is to see her.
Ginny slides into a molded plastic seat. "I'm hungry. Want to split some pancakes?"
She eats ravenously when they arrive, tearing apart the pats of butter in their foil wrapping, ripping the cover off the sealed plastic pouches of syrup. "I shouldn't have coffee this late. I'll never get to sleep. I never do before five or six anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter."
This casual Ginny. Flippant. She does not want him to feel sorry for her. She will not accept his pity. He admires her. He wonders just how many Ginnys there are. He wants to meet them all. That scares him, too.

The Language of Flowers by Anise (Reviews - 8)
Draco and Ginny once shared a night at Malfoy Manor that they've never forgotten. In the years between, they've drifted very far apart. But now, when the wizarding world is plunged into crisis, they just might find each other again...
Quote from Chapter 4...
"If you think I'm going to… to do things for you so that you let my brother and Hermione and Harry go—" she said heatedly.
"What?" Malfoy blinked, and for a second, he honestly looked shocked, as if he hadn't expected things to move so quickly either. As if he didn't have any more control than she did.
As the two of them stood staring at each other, a number of quick, sharp raps rattled at the door.
He muttered something that had led to Ginny getting her mouth washed out with soap when she'd said it at the age of nine and then raised his voice just enough for her to hear his next words. "Weasley, be quiet, for gods' sake."

Warning: this one is DARK! On a spring morning at the end of his seventh year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy stepped out of the shadows that hid him in the prefect's bathroom, where Ginny Weasley was swimming. When she saw him, she didn't behave sensibly at all. So of course he had no choice but to do what he did next… or at least, that's the way Draco remembers it. Now, it's two years later, and Draco is about to learn the hard way that his bond with Ginny can never be broken… and that nothing which begins, ever really ends.

Yep. That second new chapter is actually here. This fic will continue!! :)
The sequel to Draco's Dangerous Dilemma.
Nearly two years have passed since Ginny saw Draco in a coffeeshop for the first time after the war. The two of them have been trapped in a seemingly neverending cycle of lust, betrayal, revenge, and despair ever since-- until one night of passion at the Pureblood Ball proved to them both that their bond could never be broken.
But there's a world outside the fragile love budding between the pair. And Ginny just may find out that Draco's past casts a shadow that neither of them can outrun in time to save him...
Chapter NINE Quote of the Day:
"So here's where we are," she said. "The sketches are ready. The clay models are done. I'm happy with them. You?"
"Very much so," said Draco. His mouth quirked upwards. "Remember Bob Ross and his Happy Trees? I'd never have believed then that we'd reach this point, but we have."
"We've come a long way since then," said Ginny. She remembered how furious she was when she first learned that she'd be working with Draco on the fountain project, and that he'd somehow finagled his way into the Junior Minister of Art position. How snippy and cold she'd tried to be to him; how snarky he'd been to her in return. How exhausted he'd always looked, too, and how much she had wanted to smooth away the dark circles from under his eyes and put a real smile on his handsome face. She'd threatened to report him to the Minister of Art and have someone else reassigned to her; she was ashamed to think of that now.
"We certainly have," said Draco, giving her one of his real smiles, the sort she'd never imagined his face could possibly form in those days. She tried not to smile in return. She wanted to remain as serious as possible.

Review: Bone Deep by Sandra Ireland | @22_ireland @PolygonBooks #LoveBooksTours
What happens when you fall in love with the wrong person?
The consequences threaten to be far-reaching and potentially deadly.
Bone Deep is a contemporary novel of sibling rivalry, love, betrayal and murder. It is a dual narrative, told in alternative chapters by Mac, a woman bent on keeping the secrets of the past from her only son, and the enigmatic Lucie, whose own past is something of a closed book. Their story is underpinned by the creaking presence of an abandoned water mill and haunted by the local legend of two long-dead sisters, themselves rivals in love and ready to point an accusing finger from the pages of history.
Bone Deep is a stunning novel that explores the relationship between siblings, and the betrayals in romantic relationships. The novel is narrated by two characters – Mac who is determined to keep her secrets buried whilst writing a short story collection about sibling rivalry; and Lucie who arrives to be Mac's Girl Friday and has secrets of her own.
The audio book is wonderful, I found myself engrossed in this novel from the opening chapter and it had me spellbound. I was so intrigued by both Mac and Lucie and felt equally invested in both their stories. I was also so drawn to the setting with the abandoned mill and the way it looms large over the characters in this book. Mac and Lucie are each voiced by a different narrater (Una Mcdade and Emma Hartley-Miller) which made it easy to keep track of whose story I was listening to, which I always appreciate in an audio book.
Bone Deep takes two women who are in different stages of life and also on opposite sides of the coin that is affairs of the heart. Mac is becoming confused and her past and present are beginning to get mixed in her mind, she is also obsessively writing and then withdrawing from her story about two sisters. This all melds together as the novel moves towards its final stunning conclusion. Lucie is looking for an escape after she's done wrong by her sister and is somewhat ousted by their mother who knows what she's done. Mac is initially kind towards Lucie, although she doesn't feel she needs her help, but as the past pulls on her more and more she starts to see Lucie in a different light.
The pain that runs through this novel is palpable and even though Lucie has done wrong I could only feel sympathy for her. She has made a terrible mistake but she's not the only one and yet she is paying the biggest price for it. I was willing her to face up to things and to try and make it right but she can't help but retreat further into herself. I could see echoes of her in Mac to start with and worried that she may end up like Mac but in the end Mac's secrets go way darker and deeper than Lucie's ever could.
There is something indefinable about this novel – it's heart-wrenching and yet also magical. There is so much beauty amongst all the pain and the darkness. Sandra Ireland beautifully weaves together the strands of Mac and Lucie's stories along with the story that Mac is writing and it's simply breathtaking – the mysteries, the connections and the ultimate conclusion! Bone Deep is a book that grabs hold of you and it doesn't let go, even after you've finished listening to it. I feel haunted by it, it's still going around in my mind and I already want to read it again! I highly recommend this book, it really is a stunning novel!
Many thanks to the Kelly at Love Books Tours for my copy of the audio book and my blog tour invitation. All thoughts are my own.
Bone Deep is out now and available here.
Sandra Ireland was born in Yorkshire, lived for many years in Limerick, and is now based in Carnoustie. She began her writing career as a correspondent on a local newspaper but quickly realised that fiction is much more intriguing than fact. In 2013 Sandra was awarded a Carnegie- Cameron scholarship to study for an MLitt in Writing Practice and Study at the University of Dundee, graduating with a distinction in 2014. Her work has appeared in various publications and women's magazines. She is the author of Beneath the Skin (2016) and Bone Deep (2018), and her third novel, The Unmaking of Ellie Rook will be published in July 2019.

BookerTalk says:
How did the audio version handle the different narrators -did they use deferent actors for each voice?
Wonderful review. I have read the book already but am so enjoying the audiobook too.
This sounds like a fascinating character study, Hayley. And it's interesting that it's narrated in alternating chapters. That lets the reader follow the story from both perspectives, which can work well.
fuonlyknew says:
I agree with Margot. It does sound like a thrilling character study. I'm thinking I should try it as an audible too. Wonderful review!

Vote.org sent a fundraising email yesterday with an unexpected ask: they want me to give them money to pay for billboards encouraging people to vote. What? Aren't we all digital and stuff these days?
The actual ask is quite specific. The message starts by noting that two private foundations had bought billboards in minority neighborhoods in recent election cycles warning residents that voter fraud is a crime. These groups have been promoting the idea that voter fraud is a real thing and that black and brown people are the main culprits, and it seems clear that they bought the billboards to suppress votes in these communities.
In 2017, Vote.org went big on billboards and other forms of outdoor advertising in Virginia and Alabama. We placed get-out-the-vote ads on 100 buses and 100 billboards in the Hampton Roads area in Virginia in the four weeks leading up to the gubernatorial race. We went even bigger in Alabama: We bought 140 billboards in Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, and other parts of the "Black Belt" and 59 bus ads in Birmingham.
The GOTV ads were simple: they just said VOTE and the day and date of the election. Anecdotally, both reporters and on the ground organizers told us that the billboards were "everywhere". Mathematically, our billboards and bus ads were viewed over 100 million times by low and mid-propensity voters. And everywhere we placed these billboards voter turnout was higher than had been predicted by experts.
Vote.org remains bullish on billboards.
The low inventory and production costs make them one of the cheapest mass-marketing mediums available. We can blanket entire congressional districts for $150,000. We can cover every inch of Florida for $2.2 million.
They're an excellent way to reach young people — who increasing watch zero minutes of broadcast TV a year.
Corporate marketing studies (including research by Nielson) have demonstrated that consumers notice outdoor advertising, and that young people are especially likely to recall the messages they see on large-format advertising channels.
And these same studies show that billboards are an effective amplifier for other outreach efforts — such as direct mail, radio, and SMS.
Finally, the message strikes an urgent note, asking for money right now because the deadline to buy billboards in time for Election Day is coming up in a few days. The message even includes a link to a slide deck with more details!
This campaign reminds me of an Ultraviolet fundraiser from 2015, which asked for money to fund ads in airports in states that rely heavily on tourism but that also have legislatures dominated by conservative men. Ultraviolet's message also included a compelling ask, a clear value proposition, an online/offline connection and a goal that its audience would be excited about. In Vote.org's case, why don't you reward them with a few dollars in exchange for this fine example? It seems only courteous.


Research includes polar bears, nearshore marine ecosystems, walruses, seabirds, habitat dynamics, quantitative ecology and biometrics.
Through the CAE Initiative, USGS is gaining better understanding how wildlife populations of special interest are responding to habitat changes in the Arctic.
Implications of these changes include rapid coastal erosion which threatens villages and critical infrastructure, degradation to wildlife habitat, increased greenhouse-gas emissions from thawing permafrost, and threats from invasive species; all of which have potentially significant impacts on subsistence activities and cultural resources. Changing habitats and related impacts to species are of great importance to land and wildlife managers as well as indigenous peoples. Federal, State, and tribal managers need to understand how climate is impacting the lands and species for which they are responsible, and what actions may be warranted to protect those resources for.
The USGS is committed to providing the information, models, and other tools that managers need to support decision making.

ALBUM REVIEW: Ocean Alley – Lonely Diamond
BEST TRACKS: Way Down, Infinity, Lonely Diamond
FCC clean
Formed by a group of friends in a backyard shed, this six-piece psychedelic funk rock band got their start playing local dive bars and house shows on the Northern coast of Sydney, Australia. 10 years later, here they are, touring all across Australia and Europe, selling out shows left and right, and playing festivals such as Lost Paradise and Soundsplash, and doing it all without a record label. It's only a matter of time before this band starts making their presence known in the United States. Ocean Alley's first album, Lost Tropics is youthful and beachy, their second album, Chiaroscuro is bluesy and mature, but Lonely Diamond, Ocean Alley's third studio album, is absolutely dazzling mix of them both, taking the tropical, beachy energy of Lost Tropicsbut adding the maturity and pensiveness of Chiaroscuro to make Ocean Alley's greatest album to date.
The first thing I noticed about this album is the incredible cleanness of the sound. The percussion is tight, the guitar is crisp, and lead singer Baden Donegal's voice is smooth and clear. The production quality is impeccable, but if you're used to only listening to fuzzier garage style rock, this album will definitely be a change of pace. However, an album doesn't have to be fuzzy and chaotic to have energy. Lonely Diamond has more of a deeper, cooler intensity than what you would expect from an average psychedelic rock band. The riffs are often dark on slow, and pulling you repeatedly into crawling buildups that lead to immense, cathartic climaxes.
This entire album reminds me of the time I drove 10 hours straight through the night to New York by myself. It gives me a feeling of thrill and danger, but the knowledge deep down that everything is bound to be okay in the end, no matter where I end up, because life is good.

Lawyers to argue about psychologist in newspaper attack case
Posted: Aug 5, 2020 / 12:04 AM CDT / Updated: Aug 5, 2020 / 12:04 AM CDT
FILE – This June 28, 2018, file photo provided by the Anne Arundel Police shows Jarrod Ramos in Annapolis, Md. Lawyers are scheduled to argue about whether a psychologist's observations about Ramos, who killed five people at a Maryland newspaper, should be heard by jurors who will decide whether he's criminally responsible because of his mental health. A pretrial hearing set for Wednesday, Aug. 5, relates to the second part of the case against Ramos, who already has pleaded guilty to killing five at the Capital Gazette newspaper in 2018. (Anne Arundel Police via AP, File)
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Lawyers are scheduled to argue about whether a psychologist's observations about a man who killed five people at a Maryland newspaper should be heard by jurors who will decide whether he's criminally responsible because of his mental health.
A pretrial hearing set for Wednesday relates to the second part of the case against Jarrod Ramos, who already has pleaded guilty to killing five at the Capital Gazette newspaper in 2018.
Dr. Gregory Saathoff, who was retained by prosecutors, interviewed employees at a detention center. He also looked into Ramos' cell. His observations were used to support his conclusions that Ramos is criminally responsible.
Defense attorneys contend Saathoff's testimony shouldn't be heard by jurors. They say peering into the cell amounted to an illegal search.
Prosecutors say simply looking through the window of a jail cell isn't a search.
The sanity phase was postponed until December because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Technology has a tendency to be impersonal and unfriendly - if you let it. Think of the last time you received an email from someone, read it, and said to yourself, "Boy was that a lifeless, mal-prepared, impersonal message - looks like Randy really cares to stay connected with me."?
You don't want to be like Randy. You want to make the recipient feel like you're right there next to them. You want someone to be excited when they receive an email from you. And you want to reassure people that email can be personable, Viagra SPAM notwithstanding.
Email is one of the major mediums of business communication. As such, treat it with the same level of personality you hope to convey through daily, face to face interactions. In other words, if you think of your emails as real conversations, you will elicit real connections. Here are a few ways to make your emails "smile" so you maximize the comfort and engagement of the recipient.
No email will ever beat face to face interaction. But you do enhance the level of friendliness if you write in a conversational tone. Use simple words. They sound genuine. Don't try to impress someone by thesaurusizing your email with terms you wouldn't use in person - it sounds diaphanous, limpid, and transpicuous.
Also, don't be afraid to use one or two word sentences. After all, you use them every day in your face to face conversations - so why is email any different! I suggest exclamations like "Wow!" and "That's great!" to make the reader feel your presence.
A great acid test for this is to read every email aloud before you send it. When you finish, ask yourself this question: "Does my email make it sound like I am personally engaging with the recipient?" People truly appreciate it when you create a memorable presence.
Use Italics, Boldface and Punctuation!
And no matter what anyone says, exclamation points are awesome! They completely alter the emotion of the sentence. Don't be afraid to use them. But don't put one in every sentence! People will think you're on drugs! And they will freak out! Ahhh!!!!
If there was ever a place in your email to add personality, it's the subject heading. After all, people get dozens of emails a day - so what do you do to entice them to read yours first? It's almost like the first impression or ice breaker of your conversation. So, have fun with it! Put something to grab attention like a joke, quotation or an interesting phrase. You have plenty of room too (up to 54 characters), so don't be afraid to fill up the space.
One of my favorite subject headings is to pose a question related to the body text such as "Why don't people talk in elevators?" or "Did you see that game yesterday?" Just like your face to face conversations, the difference between a boring and exciting subject heading is all about engagement, i. e., "Hey" vs. "Good morning Paul, how was your weekend?"
The way you write and send your email personifies your attitude, values and interpersonal effectiveness. Unfortunately, friendliness and engagement are the things we sacrifice for technological speed and efficiency. But just because email is faster, doesn't mean it has to be less friendly. And just because email is sent across the country, doesn't mean it can't be engaging.
Therefore, an email that sounds like a person will be treated like a person. If you want illicit excitement, think of your emails as real conversations. Consistently write in a conversational, friendly and engaging tone. Then, the communication within your network will be more personable, fun and memorable - simply because you made your emails smile.


You are a helicopter pilot in a bustling city full of quirky residents. Complete a variety of quests, from simple taxi rides to cattle herding. The current prototype explores the controls and simple quests, but the final game would be a much deeper experience.
Where do we see this game going?
This prototype just scratches the surface of the possibilities for this game. Ultimately we'd love to see a big, dynamic city with a semi-procedural missions system, and lots of things to unlock. The structure of the game would allow you to explore at will, and pick up any type of work you enjoy doing, in exchange for cash which you then use to upgrade your helicopter and further your career.
If this game wins, we've got some exciting development plans for it that would see us releasing an Early Access version as soon as this fall (2017), with ongoing community-centric development after that point.
Player avatars: You'll be able to jump in and out of any helicopter, and maybe ride along as passengers on someone else's heli too.


Wilmington, NC (June 16, 2011) – Time Warner Cable is sponsoring a science discovery trip for 10 members from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina to explore one of the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) wonders in their own backyard -- The horses of Shackleford Banks.
A partnership with Time Warner Cable's Connect a Million Minds initiative makes the trip to see wild horses possible for the local middle school students.
"Time Warner Cable is proud to provide this hands-on, exciting STEM experience for students. Our hope is that seeing and learning about the horses close-up will spark an interest in students to pursue STEM careers," said Christine Whitaker, Eastern North Carolina area vice president of operations, Time Warner Cable.
The mission of Connect a Million Minds is to provide students with meaningful, quality experiences that expose them to STEM education and careers. The trip is just one example of how Time Warner Cable sponsors and coordinates local resources to engage and attract youth to seek out more STEM learning opportunities.
Club members will travel to the island at 10 a.m. and participate in three hours of guided nature discovery activities with local biologist, Lasha Halsey, a former National Park Services at Cape Lookout employee. Club members will observe the wild horses of Shackleford and learn about their feral behaviors. Members will also learn about the concept of "wilderness management" during the day-long field trip.
"Most of these club members would never have the chance to visit Shackelford Banks let alone research and study wild horses with a trained wildlife biologist if it weren't for the coordination and sponsorship of Time Warner Cable," said Cynthia Barber, director of marketing and special events, Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina.
At the close of the trip, club members will receive an educational book as a gift from Time Warner Cable.
Media wishing to attend should arrive at 9:30 at Outer Banks Ferry Service on 326 Front Street, Beaufort. Time Warner Cable representatives, Boys & Girls Club staff and members will also be available for interviews at the close of the trip at 1 p.m. on the Beaufort waterfront.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina (BGCCC) has played an integral role in the Carteret & Craven County Community for over 11 years. The clubs provide daily programs and services to over 1,200 young people. The Clubs are open Monday – Friday 6-7pm and 7am-7pm during the summer. The clubs provide structured programs that emphasize character and leadership development, education and career enhancement, health and life skills, the arts, sports, fitness and recreation. Three clubs make up the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina, the original club located in Beaufort, one in Morehead City and in Havelock.

The launch will feature a keynote lecture on addressing global inequalities Winnie Byanyima, Oxfam International Executive Director and alumna of the University. Oxfam's research has shown that half of the world's population - that's three and a half billion people - own no more than a tiny elite whose numbers could all fit comfortably on a double-decker bus.
The lecture marks the launch of the Global Development Institute, the largest dedicated development research and teaching institute in Europe, with over 45 academics and up to 100 PhD students.The new Institute unites the strengths of the Institute for Development Policy & Management (IDPM) and the Brooks World Poverty Institute. Its aim is to identify and address global inequalities, creating and sharing knowledge that promotes social justice.
While we've seen huge reductions in poverty over the last twenty years, finishing the job, let alone making the gains sustainable will require seismic changes right around the world. The University of Manchester has been at the forefront of Development Studies for over 60 years. With the creation of the Global Development Institute, we want to lead critical thinking, teaching and research over the next 60 years too.
The lecture will be followed by a free drinks reception. Please register for tickets at http://www.gdilaunch.eventbrite.co.uk/

While the old adage that "a pedestrian always has the right-of-way" is strictly a myth, with not legal basis, there are still numerous situations where pedestrians have the right-of-way. Establishing the right-of-way is crucial for injured pedestrians, because Texas, like many states has a system of modified comparative fault. In simplest terms, modified comparative fault weighs how much each party contributed to an accident and asks a jury to put a percentage on the fault of each party.
If you're an injured pedestrian, having the right-of-way could be the difference between winning your case and recovering damages, or losing your case and having to foot the bill for your injuries, even when the accident wasn't really your fault. Since insurance companies will do whatever they can to show that an injured pedestrian did not have the right-of-way at the time of the accident in order to minimize any potential payout on the damage claim, it is imperative an injured pedestrian is represented by an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, like those at Grossman Law Offices, who can hold defend their rights and hold the motorist and their insurance company accountable.
When do pedestrians have the right-of-way?
Why is determining the right-of-way a key component of any pedestrian accident case?
What are some examples of pedestrian accident cases Grossman Law Offices has won?
When cars must yield to pedestrians.
When the crosswalk's sign indicates that a pedestrian may "WALK," the pedestrian is obviously allowed to cross the street. The pedestrian is NOT allowed to begin walking across a street when the sign indicates "WAIT" or "STOP." Further, if the pedestrian enters a roadway when the sign indicates "WALK" and then the sign switches to "WAIT" or "STOP," the pedestrian must get to the other side of the street or get to a safety island in the street's midway. During these travels, cars must yield.
When a vehicle is emerging from a building, alleyway, or private drive, they must yield the right of way to any pedestrians in the area. In other words, they must make sure no one is walking passed the area before they can pull out into traffic.
When blind, clearly incapacitated, or "obviously confused" pedestrians enter the road, drivers have a duty to slow down---or stop---to avoid hitting them. Under Texas law, someone carrying a white cane is signifying that they are blind. A motorist must take all possible precautions to avoid causing an accident when that person is attempting to cross a street.
When pedestrians are on sidewalks or footpaths, they naturally have the right of way there. Sidewalks are designed specifically for foot traffic, and any time a car leaves the road, they must yield to pedestrians. This means more than simply swerving off the road, but that when a car seeks to enter a building, a parking lot, or even the owner's driveway, the motorist must yield.
In parking lots, drivers must be on the lookout for pedestrians. Further, many parking lots having designated crosswalks for pedestrians leaving or entering the store, restaurant, or business---drivers must yield here, too.
You'll notice that much of this is basically common sense. Further, the Transportation Code adds another requirement: that of "due care." Drivers are legally obligated, in every interaction, to avoid injuring a pedestrian and must honk their horn or take evasive maneuvers. In essence, there is no definitive prohibition against hitting a pedestrian simply because they were in a roadway improperly.
Examples from pedestrian cases we've litigated.
A pedestrian crossed into a street when the walk light switched to "WAIT." He then made his way to the safety island in the center of the roadway. An 18-wheeler drove far too close to the median and "clipped" the pedestrian with his sideview mirror. The pedestrian passed away. His surviving family brought us in and after a thorough investigation we were able to gather evidence and determine the facts of the case. With this in hand we were able to help the family recover damages.
A man left a restaurant late one evening and had a car accident on the side of a highway. He had a non-fatal car accident on a Dallas highway and called a friend to pick him up. His friend, thoroughly intoxicated, drove into the back of his car and killed him. Not only did we have a pedestrian/auto accident claim against the driver, but a dram shop case against the bar that served the driver, since Texas law allows you to pursue damage claims against establishments that irresponsibly serve alcohol. However, the investigation was also key in this case, because no bar ever calls up and says, "Hey, we saw that guy on the news, he was drinking way too much at our bar last night." Our firm has to track down these bars, and using TABC reports, financial records, eyewitness testimony, and even surveillance videos prove that the person responsible for the accident was in the bar and that they were improperly served.
A woman becomes shockingly intoxicated at a bar. She later has a car accident and begins walking on a crowded highway, screaming obscenities and removing her clothes. An innocent driver strikes her and stops in order to be a Good Samaritan to help her. Later, a negligently driven car comes barreling down the highway, striking and killing the Good Samaritan. It's easy to see from the description that it took some effort to track down everyone involved and gather the evidence necessary to establish the facts of the case. However, with that in hand we were able to help bring the case to a successful conclusions.
The facts of how we settled these cases are confidential, but in each of them---like all our cases---they required a thorough investigation into determining who was actually at fault and how many potential third parties could be held responsible. The bottom line in any pedestrian accident? There's no telling when our clients first walk through our doors exactly whom we can hold accountable for the incident.
The only things that can be counted on in any pedestrian accident case is that insurance companies claims processes will consistently undervalue the damages to the pedestrian and that the full facts of the case take a lot of work to prove.
Generally, the victims we represent are very truthful in their accounts, which gives our investigative team a leg up in determining what happened. However, without actual evidence that corroborates our client's story, insurance companies are reluctant to properly value the case and offer fair compensation. In most cases it takes the marriage of strong evidence and experienced litigators that bring about the best results for an injured pedestrian. That is why we cannot caution injured pedestrians enough that it is rarely a good idea to go it alone in a pedestrian accident case.

Action is what defines you.
Regardless of what goes on in your mind, and what perspectives you think you have, the simple fact of the matter is that who are you is created, expressed and perceived on the basis of what you do. When you take an action, it directly impacts reality; how you perceive yourself, how others perceive you and what results you reap are directly tied into the actions you take. Actions come in many forms. Whether physically doing things, creating things, going places, speaking to others or even speaking to yourself, all these things impact reality.
When you adopt this mentality you realize that there is no such thing as "faking it." There are only actions that you have taken and actions that you haven't taken. Whenever you're confronted with a new situation, the right question to ask is, "How do I want to act, in this situation?" Whatever attitudes you choose to adopt and actions you choose to take are very real and can impact life profoundly. The only limitation at that point is the mental array of options that you offer yourself. The more various possible actions that you are aware of, the greater the flexibility of choice you have.
The secret to acting well is to have a wide mental array of options and a decent grasp of the possible outcomes of each action. Having an expanded palette of options and an ability to predict outcomes is the result of life experience. The more various things you've considered and tried in the past, the more possibilities you will have in the present. Similarly, in order to adopt a specific persona, it does not much matter what type of things you've done before or how you've thought about situations in the past. All you need to do to be able to adopt a new persona is to have a clear idea about how such a person would think about things, what such a person would say to people, how such a person would carry himself, and what sorts of things such a person would do.
Adopting a new persona, then, is as simple as understanding the mindset and external manifestation of such a persona and acting in accordance with that understanding. At you first you find yourself asking, "How would a confident person handle this situation?" or "What would a wealthy person do in this situation?" or "How would an empathetic person connect with this individual?" The more you act in accordance with your new persona, the sooner you find yourself simply asking, "How should I handle this situation?" or "Given that I have plenty of money, what do I want to do in this situation?" or "How can I best emotionally connect with this individual?"
Since actions define your essence, there is no such thing as faking it. The only difference is how much you have internalized a given persona. The more you are used to thinking about things a certain way and acting a certain way, the more you truly believe that you are a certain sort of person. The change in mentality and the change in actions occur simultaneously, and they are inseparable. Insofar as one acts differently, there is genuine change. Insofar as actions remain the same, it matters not how much one thinks that they think differently. The key to inner change is simply to know who you want to be and then to be that person. You are not bound by who you have been in the past or what you have done before. Be the person you want to be and act the way you want to act. There is no way to fake it.
I need to print this out. It is simply amazing. I linked to it on my blog too. One of the best things I have read in a long time.


I'm 21 years old, and a third-year student. This is my first year as rugby captain. I've got 2 older brothers and a little sister. I'm a broadcasting major at UL, and I'd like to be an anchor on TV, or a teacher. I went to Jesuit High in New Orleans.
I played football all through high school, and my senior year when football season ended, I was looking for something else to do. I had always wanted to play rugby, but my mom had always said it was too dangerous. My senior year she finally gave in.
The Jesuit team was the best team I'd ever played for. Everyone on the team was a senior. We played state club teams, like the all-star teams from different states. We made it all the way to nationals in Pittsburgh. We finally lost to Highland from Utah. They were very good. They even had a movie made about them, Forever Strong.
The New Orleans rugby system produces the best rugby players in the state. My friend Sebastian Holley from Jesuit came to UL and joined to rugby team in the fall of '08.
It's a very tight-knit family. I'd call it a fraternity, but it's much smaller and much closer. Our coach Boyd LeJeune is our leader and father-figure, he keeps everyone together.
My first full season last year, we were in Division 3 Deep South and we went all the way to nationals. We had some referee issues in the first game, won the second game and ended up winning third place in the nation. We did so well that we got promoted to the SEC.
This season was our first in the SEC. We played Ole Miss, Miss State and LSU. We went 2-1 with a loss to LSU.
What's the game-day atmosphere like?
We play on the intramural fields behind Blackham Coliseum. We have some very loyal fans, they either have had kids who played with us, or they know someone on the team, or they just love rugby. They go above and beyond to support us. Their official name is "The Red Army."
The game-day atmosphere is very emotional. When we are winning the crowd is very into it. When we are losing the crowd gives the ref hell.
How would you describe the guys on the team?
Wild, with a lot of heart. Most other teams respect us for how we play on the field. We are known as a big hitting team, though we are smaller than most other teams.
Our team is made up of a lot of ex-football and ex-wrestling guys, and a few ex-service men as well, pretty much anyone who doesn't care too much about their bodies. You have to be a little crazy to play.
The rugby team is a family. My roommate is on the team. Guys come over all the time to play video games, go swimming, and just hang out. I see at least six of the guys every day. We are always with each other.
How do you guys raise money to play?
We work booths at festivals in Lafayette, we pull from our parents and companies we work for, and there are teachers who love us and try to give us grants. This year for the first time UL supported us with $3000. In fact, they said if we wanted more we could request it.
Dr. JoAnne Derouen is the team mother. She gets grants for us, works with UL to make sure they contribute money to us, and helps us with fun raisers. A lot of things would not be possible without her.
How can fans get information about the team?
We have a website, RaginCajunRugby.com. We are also have a facebook page that sends out notifications when we play. Our website gives all the information.
Our primary season is in the Spring. We play a couple of scrimmages and all-star tournaments in the Fall.
Rugby season are short. If you go all the way to nationals it can be up to 8 weeks, but you are only guaranteed about 4 weeks.
Does the team embrace Cajun culture?
We have about 25 guys on the team every year. Around eight of them are from Cajun decent. Our coach speaks French, and we get a lot of "IIIIIIEEEEE" cheers. We really embrace the Cajun-ness of our team.
Teams usually have more fun coming here to play us than we do going to play them. I think a lot of that has to do with the culture. People here know how to party. I couldn't say Lafayette parties harder than New Orleans or vice-versa, both know how to party very well, that's for sure.
New Orleans will always be my first love, but I love Lafayette. I love the food and the culture.
Do you have any advice for anyone thinking about joining the team?
When we are holding practice just show up. You can also contact us through our website, or find us on facebook.
In rugby, size doesn't matter, be willing to hit and get hit. Be ready to have a really good time, and be welcomed like a family member. It's not like any other team you have ever played for at any other school.

Trains are huge in our house, so for a fun afternoon out, I brought the boys to a local train station. I filled our Thomas The Tank Engine Backpack with three favorite train books, our train whistle, and several Thomas trains.
Trains by Byron Barton: This board book follows one train's journey, passing towns and several other kinds of trains.
Freight Train by Donald Crews: This book has been an almost daily choice for years. So it's well-loved and taped together. The book describes the train and its cars, and several types of freight on its journey through mountains, by cities, over trestles, in darkness and light.
That's Not My Train by Fiona Watt: This board book is one of my baby's favorites. It shows several trains and each has a textured aspect to touch and feel (for example, one train has a "rusty" funnel made out of sandpaper).
As we read, my older son pointed out different types of trains to his little brother. We discussed the trains in the books, and how they are similar and different to the train that runs on the tracks near us. We talked about this in terms of both the type of train (ours is electric, as compared with diesel or steam), and what the train carries (ours carries passengers, not freight).
I also realized we hadn't fully discussed train tracks with our 4 year old before. He knows trains run on tracks, but I asked him, if we walked right next to the tracks (we didn't – for one thing, where we were, the track is elevated), where would we wind up? At first he was stuck on "We would be with the train." But eventually he got to the answer – New York City.
calling, "all aboard!" and passengers getting on and off.
Of course, both boys spent a lot of time playing with the toy trains! It was a fun way for them to make connections between the trains they see in books, the trains they play with, and the trains they see passing by our town. Next up – our municipal airport!
