Betting on Offense: Bryce McGowens
Drafting players is all about betting on the future and buying into a fit both short and long term. While Bryce McGowens may take some time, his offensive upside could be worth the wait.
Potential.
A word that is used frequently in discussions surrounding the NBA Draft.
An evaluation in this space isn't the same as one a player-personnel scout would perform in the NBA. A college or international scout has to be able to factor in the long term, not just immediate fit and role from day one on the team.
That's what makes what talent scouts do for NBA teams, and what analysts and media scouts try their hands at as well, so incredibly difficult. There are so many factors that can steer a player's career in one direction or the other.
But every report starts with what happens on the court as much as who the player is off the court. After reviewing enough film and breaking down certain aspects of their game on both ends of the floor, a decision has to be made based on potential.
What would Player X look like on Team Y, not just one year from now but four or five years from now? Is Player X someone we envision offering a contract extension? Are they a franchise building block on offense, defense, or under rarer circumstances, both?
Those are questions that also have to be answered not just with the top picks but later into the first round and into the second. Colleges and other paths to the league are arguably richer with more talent than ever.
But with talent comes meshing that player's strengths and weaknesses into the core philosophies of a team's identity. That, to me, is why sometimes it's more important to focus on what a player CAN do versus only diving into detail on what they CAN'T do.
It's fairly easy to get lost in some of the negatives with Nebraska wing Bryce McGowens. And I'll certainly run through some of my concerns with his game in this breakdown.
Looking past those, however, offers an exciting glimpse into a player who fits the direction in which the league continues to trend across all positions.
Once again, we must embrace the NBA's real estate position at the intersection of size and skill. Putting those two together helps to contextualize why McGowens is a divisive prospect. While not possessing as many enticing qualities on the defensive end, there's a lot to like about his offensive upside.
That's why I'm rolling up to the tables, ready to put all my chips on McGowens's POTENTIAL.
In a league that embraces putting points on the board (16.8 PPG), I'm dropping stacks betting on offense.
On AND Off-Ball Scoring
Defenses hate being confused and thrown off by screens, movement, and positional awareness.
These aspects of offense can alter the results on the ball as well as away from it.
In order to make use of those points, teams need guys who can make something out of nothing with or without the ball. Bryce McGowens happens to be one of those lethal scorers.
Starting with what he can do with the ball in his hands, McGowens is as slithery of a finisher around the basket as you'll find in this class.
While he doesn't possess blazing speed or crazy acceleration levels, McGowens's initial burst, long strides to the basket, and counters off his initial footwork allow him to create space and bend defenses.
Give him too much space to work with, and McGowens can launch and hammer it home with the best of them.
Being able to take advantage of open runways is one way to accumulate easy points and earn time on SportsCenter. But making guys miss and scoring AROUND defenders is just as mystifying as finishing THROUGH them.
Speaking of which, McGowens isn't afraid by any means of initiating contact, taking the bump, and getting to the line. He averaged 6.3 free throw attempts per game, and he had ten games in which he got to the line eight or more times.
The most efficient way to up one's scoring average is to live at the charity stripe. And even in doing so, converting and-ones to capitalize on three the old-fashioned way further benefits the team by helping to instill a finish-by-any-means mentality through physicality and toughness.
NBA players who can't be kept off the line put the other team at a disadvantage by changing the approach to guarding as well as getting guys in foul trouble and therefore limiting their time on the floor.
Attacking a team's weaknesses on defense often comes from getting two feet in the paint and making the right decision once there, depending on the angle. Even though McGowens isn't the best player operating in a drive-and-kick system, his ability to draw contact on tough looks so he doesn't leave empty-handed helps ensure his team makes the most even off a few ill-advised drives.
Even when McGowens isn't operating off straight line drives or shifty east-west moves to the basket, he can still impact the game away from the ball by cutting and positioning himself well.
While not a screener in the sense of playing off a guard at the top of the arc, the other two aforementioned aspects still apply to McGowens. Though he didn't take advantage of movement and hustle plays on the glass nearly as many times as he should've, McGowens still rated in the 91st and 94th percentiles on cuts and put-backs, respectively.
Using those long strides and body fakes along the baseline to free himself and get into the paint can disrupt even the best of defenses, and so can timing boxouts and positioning for offensive rebounds.
If McGowens can go to a team that gets him moving instead of standing in the corner waiting to come into a handoff or catching and shooting, it would do a world of good and, in turn, help turn more possessions into some easy deuces.
Saving the best for last, some of the strengths I've highlighted serve for great versatility in pick-and-roll opportunities. McGowens rated in the 71st percentile as the ball-handler in scoring out of those situations.
The same ways he can affect the game off a line drive apply to how he can use a screen at the top to his advantage. His comfort level rising in the mid-range coming off that screen forces defenses to play up on him, giving the angle to get the step and make guys miss.
Not to mention McGowens can step into his shot off the screen and knock down a pretty jumper.
There are many options McGowens can go to apart from PnR looks and spot-up opportunities. At his size (6'7"), he has a real shot to cause problems for any pro defense on a night-to-night basis.
The goal here in separating out shooting from the on-ball scoring category is to focus on more than just pull-ups that come out of the pick-and-roll. When honing in on catch-and-shoot jumpers, Bryce McGowens rates out fairly well for a freshman.
On the year, McGowens finished in the 53rd percentile on C&S shots, knocking in 32-of-94, which comes in around 34% overall. Considering his ranking on jump shots overall drops considerably to the 37th percentile, it's fair to say he's much more comfortable with time to set his feet and square his body.
I'm a fan of his mechanics on C&S jumpers and from the free-throw line. McGowens keeps his feet shoulder-width apart, good bend at the knees, and one clean motion from when he brings the ball up and through. While I think his release point is what suffers a bit from the one-motion shot, it's still above his eyes and consistent, leading to a good amount of makes against misses.
Having clean mechanics, especially from the line, is excellent considering how many times McGowens gets to the line per game, as previously highlighted. Consistency from the charity stripe leads to proficient looks off the catch.
Building the foundation for shooting more difficult looks off the bounce is something McGowens has done. Mechanical issues in his off-the-dribble game do exist, however.
Just because McGowens is fully comfortable launching off one or two dribbles inside the arc doesn't make all of those good shots YET.
There's some work to be done with his lower body, as his lack of balance leads to swinging his body on occasion, which messes up his release angle as well as how and where he lands once his feet hit the ground.
Balance is everything for shooting off the dribble. Lean too far back, and you change the arc on the shot, leaving it short. Extend too far forward, and the same result happens but in a different manner, with the ball going off the backboard or bouncing off the top of the rim.
The best shooters this game has ever seen don't change their mechanics or stance coming off movement, firing off a few dribbles, or going up immediately off the catch. Therefore, McGowens has work to do in order to further cement himself as a shooter, not just a scorer.
What would benefit him even more in terms of jump shooting is better shot selection. Too many times, McGowens settled for tough jumpers with a hand in his face off a pull-up. Those are terrible shots for a lot of players, but especially someone with mechanical issues. Limiting those shots when he's walled off by the defender and either pulling the ball back out or coming to a stop, pivoting, and passing away would do his efficiency wonders in the long haul—not to mention his future NBA coach would also have fewer looks of despair as Fred Hoiberg likely had on this miss.
When he does put it together, though, the results could be deadly given his prowess getting to and finishing at the rim. Forcing the defense to respect the pull-up shot can, in turn, get the defender off balance, opening up a new angle for McGowens to attack. Throw in the footwork he has to make guys miss or get into the body to draw the foul, and he'll have so many more opportunities to convert from his best spots.
And because he can slither and slip through the cracks of the defense with the ball in his hands, defenders will offer him some space coming off screens or an initial step to wall him from the basket. Taking advantage of that space is what separates good or even great scorers from the elite. Should McGowens reach that level, he puts himself in rare territory as a three-level bucket getter.
I know, I know, offense is supposed to be the centerpiece of this evaluation. I'd be doing everyone a disservice, however, if I didn't hit on some areas for improvement on the other side of the ball.
After all, wing defense has become such a priority for NBA teams. It's not just point-of-attack defense coupled with rim protection that make for top-rated units.
Switchable schemes are incredibly popular because of how valuable pick-and-roll has become on the offensive end. Being able to field a lineup with players who can hold their own on the perimeter, cover ground and close out on corner shooters, or even switch onto bigs in a pinch and stand ground offers a team a plethora of options.
In order to play such a style, that means having a number of guys who are between 6'5" and 6'9" with length and quickness to take up and cover as much space on the court as possible.
Bryce McGowens fits this mold as a 6'7" wing with a 6'9" wingspan. His physical traits point to him being able to guard multiple positions and hopefully play up in pinches past small forwards should his body continue to fill out as projected.
But apart from having the tools, defense is also about communication, angles, and awareness.
The good news is that McGowens has the aforementioned tools which can't be taught. The bad news is he has a fair amount of work to do in order to not be a net negative on the defensive side of the ball.
While he will have a good possession on the ball, McGowens can lose sight of what's happening around him. In turn, that leads to blown coverages, late closeouts, and poor rotations defensively.
When McGowens is engaged on the ball, he has the lateral quickness and length to play decent point-of-attack defense on the perimeter. He's competitive around the basket, and he likes to grab defensive rebounds.
Adding bulk to his skinny frame to help him on bigger matchups will also help him defensively, but learning how to better communicate with his teammates and anticipate passing and player movement will really help him raise his profile on that end.
Overall Outlook
McGowens isn't a perfect offensive prospect by any means.
What I didn't break out into its own section would be his passing, or lack thereof. He has the touch to hit his man in stride from a number of angles, but McGowens puts his head down with one purpose: to score.
Even when he's on an island, the objective is to rock his man to sleep and rise up in the mid-range to can a jumper. McGowens had 43 assists in total to 397 field goal attempts. Factor in 195 trips to the line, and it's safe to say there's a lack of balance in his offensive attack.
But in his defense, McGowens was on the floor to get buckets for the Corn Huskers. An anemic team from a self-creation standpoint, Nebraska needed every point it could get from McGowens. And passing the ball also stems from trusting your teammates to execute and make the right play once it leaves your hands.
Nebraska was a poor team on both ends of the floor, but especially on offense. Getting McGowens in a pro system that emphasizes ball and player movement should do him some real good, especially once he's surrounded with teammates much more capable of hitting open shots.
As for the rest of his repertoire, there's little that McGowens isn't capable of offensively. If he can iron out some of the inconsistencies in his pull-up shot and buy in defensively to at least become average, there's a lot to like about his NBA outlook.
True three-level scorers aren't as common as everyone thinks. Guys who can actually finish at the basket, separate and convert from the mid-range, AND offer spacing from beyond the arc at proficient levels are the most dangerous talents in the league. McGowens is comfortable rising and firing from any spot on the floor, and confidence is the first step.
Beyond having the belief in oneself to take and make shots from any spot on the floor comes recognizing WHEN and HOW to approach certain looks. Improvements in shot selection take time, and depending on how deeply rooted some bad habits are, not every player succeeds in stripping away those rotted layers.
That's where "betting on potential" comes into play. The conversation around McGowens isn't about talent. I've said from the beginning of this draft cycle that there aren't 14 players who possess more natural offensive talent than McGowens in this class. I'd venture to say that number could be even smaller.
Talent is one piece of the pie. Discipline, drive, and determination are as important of ingredients. Consistently doing the little things, believing in your teammates, and buying into the core philosophies of your organization are incredibly difficult to project with young players.
While I don't have a direct relationship with McGowens, I did get to observe his routine and interactions with teammates and coaches up close earlier in the season. There weren't any red flags that stuck out to me, which would certainly help me in going to bat for him as a prospect.
Bet on McGowens being able to fit in off the ball, develop more nuance on it, and getting to a good enough level on the defensive side of the ball. If all of those things come together, we're talking one hell of a payout.
And from personal experience, you can't get results if you don't go all-in at the table every now and then.

HEKS/EPER is making a difference in the «Advocacy» in the Czech Republic
For decades HEKS/EPER has maintained close ties with the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren (ECCB). Central to their cooperation is the strengthening of the Church and its welfare and social work. In the highly secular Czech Republic where only 40 per cent of the population belong to a religious community, the ECCB ensures that values like charity and solidarity are not forgotten. HEKS/EPER supports the ECCB in its work with children and young people, in renovating churches, pastorages and parish halls, and in supporting and caring for people on the fringes of society. An important component of the cooperation is the sharing of knowledge and experience between the Czech Republic and Switzerland through church parish partnerships, group trips or professional exchanges.
In seven regions of the Czech Republic HEKS/EPER supports volunteers working for the integration of refugees. Some 2000 migrant workers benefited from counselling programmes and made use of the refuge run by the HEKS/EPER partner organisation. About 800 young people from poor backgrounds were able to attend holiday and youth camps thanks to HEKS/EPER.

""" keywords'/> "" " You Are A Bad Performer | 6 Sure Ways To Be A Great Actor | Best Actor Academy-The Monster Of Free Acting Tips ""
Why Actors Fail In Giving An Authentic And Believable Performance?
You're reading a book when there is a knock on the door. You get up and walk to see who it is. You turn the deadbolt and put your hand on the doorknob. You open the door. On the other side, standing across the threshold is your long-lost brother. You have not seen him in years. You both stand there for a moment, looking at each other. He opens his arms to give you a hug. You hesitate before opening your arms to hug him back. You embrace. It has been ten years since you've seen each other and seeing his face is such a surprise.
Except, NO! It isn't. Not really. It is just a scene in a play and you are only acting. You saw each other last night. And the night before and the night before that. Last weekend it happened, too. You rehearsed this moment every day in the three or four weeks before you opened the show. The last thing this moment it is a surprise. And yet it must be. It must be as if you have never gone through it before. This is the actor's paradox.
Actors have a uniquely difficult challenge among artists. For our work to be good, we must possess the ability to both know and not know simultaneously. We have to live in this paradox, this human quantum state. There really isn't another art form with such a requirement. It is unique to what we do.
Most of us just fake it. We pretend. We look at our friend, that actor playing our brother and we just put on the physical trappings of surprise. We open our mouth in pretend shock. We let out an audible gasp, just enough for the audience to hear it, because we want to show the audience how surprised we are. We need them to get it. For the story to be told, we telegraph the cliche of a shock to the audience. We try to trick them away from seeing it isn't really happening.
And the truth is, yes! The audience knows when we lie to them. Maybe not consciously, but, on some level, they always know! When actors fake it, even when they fake it well, the audience goes to sleep metaphorically and often literally. Sadder still, most audiences have grown accustomed to dishonesty and trickery. They'll still clap and maybe even give a standing ovation at the end of untruthful performances. Out of politeness, they will settle for our lies. But they will leave with an aching suspicion that there could have been more in what they just watched, that there was something missing. And they are right.
We all know when we see truly great acting because it becomes invisible. Instead of a performance, we only see true life engendered before us. There is no pretending, there is only life itself. There is a knock on the door, it opens and the great actor actually is surprised.
But how? Why can some actors both know what is about to happen and not know simultaneously? Because some have learned, deep in their bones, that no moment will ever occur twice. No knock will ever really be the same as any other knock, no matter how many times it gets rehearsed. No matter how long you live, you will never repeat a single second of your life, onstage or off. Not really. The great actor accepts this truth and trains their attention on the specific miracle of each fleeting moment with such dexterity that they can not only see it unfold but be fully in response to what is unfolding. They give up the futile, intellectual attempt to control and give over to the miracle of the temporary and all its potential.
For the above both training and a process is necessary, but it is possible. Because in the presence of truly great acting, we can remember that nothing is pre-ordained, that we can each change the world, that we are alive. Great acting reminds us that this moment is the only one we will ever truly have.

Q: How access class functions with  library? I'm trying to make a program with #include <future> library.
When I try to access a header function, I get an error.
no instance of overloaded function "async" matches the argument list -- argument types are: (std::launch, int ()) [line 16, 14]

a pointer to a bound function may only be used to call the function
[line 16, 37]

main.cpp:

#include "TEST.h"
#include <future>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
using namespace Class;

FNH f;

int main(){
    auto fn = async(launch::async, f.selam);
}

TEST.h:
#pragma once
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

namespace Class{

    class FNH{
        public:
        int selam(){
            cout << "selam";
            return 1;
        }
    };

}

I'm a beginner at coding so I really don't know how to fix it or if it's possible.

A: Put the method call in a lambda
#include <future>
#include <iostream>

namespace Class{

class FNH {
public:
  int selam(){
    std::cout << "selam";
    return 1;
  }
};

}

int main(){
  Class::FNH f;
  auto fn = std::async(std::launch::async, [&f]{ return f.selam(); });
}

A: You can pass a member function pointer and the instance of the class it will be called on:
#include <future>
#include <iostream>

namespace Class {

class FNH {
public:
  int selam(){
    std::cout << "selam";
    return 1;
  }

  int selam_2(int a, int b){
    std::cout << "selam "<< a << " " << b;
    return 1;
  }
};

}

int main(){
  Class::FNH f;

  // Member Function Pointer
  auto fn = std::async(std::launch::async, &Class::FNH::selam, f);

  // Member Function Pointer with arguments
  auto fn2 = std::async(std::launch::async, &Class::FNH::selam_2, f, 1, 2);

I am a Javascript NOVICE, but most solutions probably use Javascript (as long as I don't need to know about the man behind he curtain, that is fine I suppose...lol).

A: There are two kinds of autocomplete:

*

*Autocomplete with static data, in which items are populated on load and filtered on demand

*Ajax autocomplete, in which items are populated and filtered on demand.

Static autocomplete is suitable for small datasets that do not burden the page load too much. Ajax autocomplete is better for large datasets, but imposes a latency due to an Ajax request. My experience is that Ajax autocomplete is best implemented with a popular client-side control, such as jQuery UI autocomplete, instead of a proprietary ASP.NET control. The reason is that compatibility and support are better for popular client-side controls, and you should be able find solutions to your particular requirements. With ASP.NET controls, you are more likely to end up on your own.
This said, there are ASP.NET controls such as the free ComboBox and AutoCompleteExtender that come with ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit, and commercial controls like Telerik RadComboBox and DevExpress ASPxComboBox. All are good for non-ajax autocomplete, and easier to populate with data than jquery UI autocomplete. With Ajax requests, I had trouble getting Telerik RadComboBox work without trouble, and switched to jQuery UI autocomplete. But with static data, I still use RadComboBox and ASPxComboBox.
One thing to remember with ASP.NET combobox controls is that ViewState takes a lot of space with any larger datasets, if it is enabled. Postbacks make more trouble than page loads, since users have usually less upload bandwidth than download bandwidth. With Telerik RadComboBox, I used to disable viewstate when using ajax on-demand autocomplete.

A: I would suggest using jQuery UI's autocomplete control:

*

*jQuery: http://jquery.com/

*Demo: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
If you're unhappy with the jQuery UI control there are dozens of other autocomplete jQuery plugins that can be found here.

A: check
this. it may be helpful for your situation.

A: Take a look at Shield UI's autocomplete combobox widget demo - it is a powerful component available for pure JavaScript, ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC.

Recently, I realized that ultimate success comes from being Opportunistic, bold move which by definition, cannot be planned. I grabbed the opportunity and like it is said, 'Think out of the Box' and the comfortable zone steps in with creativity which constantly allows you to flow your creative juices every single day.
I am thankful to Priyanshi Patel, Founder of Ahmedabad Book Club (www.facebook.com/AhmedabadBookClub) who recommended my name for Author's Corner and a second session for Children – on Cartoons and Visual Magic of Cartoons. These sessions were a part of the 4th Amdavad National Book Fair 2015 where my Author's Corner session on my Book 'Guardian of Angels' was held on 3rd May 2015 on a cool Sunday Noon. The Cartoons session was a Talk with supportive Presentation and activities was held at the colorful Rang Rang Vadaliya Hall at the Fair venue with over 300 children participating the session.
At the Book Fair, I Explored ….experienced….marketed….build contacts….gained….inspired….spread awareness and literacy, got feedback….concerned. …read minds….been successful….could spread the message of love, faith, peace and unity….Amdavad Bookfair – the initiate to encourage Reading should go on with mini Book fairs for Gatisheel Gujarat.
Each year, it is a challenge to host the Book Fair on such a massive scale that cuts across language barriers, cultural programs and children entertainment.
Sometimes, I see a negativity flow and this time, there were stalls not as good compared to last year at Amdavad Book Fair. However, I would state that last year was the year of a transition of a CM to a revolutionary post of PM. And, the effect was that without publicity, the fair got a better response due to the Namo wave. This year, I saw a greater response with the Author's Corner and the various Art, Music and Cultural Programs which got amazing response. Whatever negative reflects is maybe the lacking of participant holders and people response. People would love to entertain, go to food courts which did very good business at the fair this time, but buying books and reading maybe, is still on backseat in Gujarat.
The Amdavad Book Fair 2015 (www.facebook.com/amdavadNationalbookFair) presented a feast of different dimensions of literature for the visitors. The Author's Corner saw Literary Experts in the field who shared their knowledge and wisdom. 19 Authors Participated in this secion who contributed to society with Book written in English, Gujarati and Hindi. The topics related from Short Stories, Novels, Health, Parenting, Women and issues, Historical depiction, Management, stress and Management, Marketing strategies, Gujarat, on Language usage, on Online Gujarati magazines, portals on Gujarati Word Dictionary, etc.
In Gyan Ganga, programs like Rubaru,Sarjak ni Sarjan Yatra,Workshops/Book Review/Book Release, Kavi Sammelans and the like enthralled the audience as they had the best opportunity to interact with the favorite Authors. A rich literary event that Gujarat can take pride of with its own language Authors.
The Triveni – Shabd, Sur and Taal had amazing cultural programs of music, drama and literature. The performances ranged from well known artists in jam packed hall every day with people awe struck and influenced by the artists. ABF takes pride to see the unity of citizens as they shared the seats and many of them made way, sitting on the floor. These artists at the main auditorium were par excellence in entertaining the audience. Ankit Trivedi, Shahbuddin Rathod, Paresh Raval, Osman Mir, Bhikhudan Gadhavi, Gunvant Shah, Bhagyesh Jha, etc.
In Rang Rang Vadaliya, the Children's Corner has been a major attraction for children and parents as well. It made one dive into the ocean of knowledge going down back memory lane to childhood. The themed walls was an amazing decoration of Cartoons and Indian mythology characters. Children participated in all events in huge numbers. The activities and workshops ranged from Origami, Drawing Competition, Creative writing, Blog making, Elocution, Crafts, film scripting, and Indian Comics to match the theme of the Rang Rang Vadaliya. V Ramanuj, Satori, Bhakti Shah, Ilaxi Patel and many experts in children field made the colorful event for kids.
Ahmedabad Book Club (www.facebook.com/AhmedabadBookClub) with its major role managed the Author's Corner and moderated the event. Reading Forums by AMC and ABC were held with reader participations who spoke about their favorite books in the forum.
The Amdavad National Book Fair in partner to MY FM 94.3 was a major coverage on the Radio show all through the day. It's Radio show MY FM's Zindagi Express became a live story telling at the Author's Corner by Aarti Patel. They featured bytes of people who visited the fair and 'Tum Tak Pustak' were recommendations they recieved on the white board at the Gyan Ganga hall by well known personalities which they continuously announced on MY FM 94.3 Radio show.

The Economic Impact of Shale Gas Development: A Natural Experiment along the New York - Pennsylvania Border - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
We investigate local economic impacts of shale gas development using the natural experiment of the discontinuity in regulation caused by New York's 2008 moratorium on fracking. Using county- and zip-code-level data for 2001–2013 to examine differences in New York and Pennsylvania counties before and after the moratorium, we find that shale gas development has a positive local impact on employment and wages in the natural resource, mining, and construction sectors and an offsetting reduction in employment in the manufacturing sector. Overall, we find no statistically significant local effects on total employment or on wages.

AIT and Athlone Town FC will be jointly hosting soccer trials for the September 2013 Scholarship intake on the 5th of January in AIT.
This is an ideal opportunity for young soccer players to gain an education while holding a scholarship in one of third level footballs stand out colleges. Athlone Town FC are soccer scholarship partners with the Institute. AIT and Athlone Town FC have made significant progress in the past three months on developing their relationship and this initiative is the first of hopefully many initiatives that will strengthen soccer in the midland region and provide a pathway for developing players to play soccer at the highest level in Ireland and beyond while also earning an academic qualification. We will be officially announcing the 2012-2013 Scholarships very soon and Athlone Town FC are partners with the Institute for those scholarships offered to players on the books of the club. Prospective scholarship students need not be attached to Athlone Town FC as scholarships will be available for players from any club.


Last week's "Hungry Bowl" event had everything I love about art, the act of giving and sense of community. More than 300 people came out to support the benefit to help raise a big chunk of change for our local food bank. Local ceramic artists/potters created more than 300 bowls that people could choose from and fill with soup donated by local restaurants.
It was a daunting decision choosing a bowl, and most of the fun was watching people make their important choice.
I eventually settled on a bowl and patiently waited in the soup line, another hard choice, filled with many vegetarian options.
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side, because after I finished my soup, I spotted on the long display table, a bowl that really "spoke" to me. Encouraged by a friend, I washed out the bowl I had, and surreptitiously traded it in for the other. Tacky, I know, but so worth the enjoyment I get sharing my morning yogurt with my cat Lola who loves to lick the bowl clean – her tiny tongue matching perfectly with the shell pink interior glaze.
Driving back from the new Ale House, I felt nourished – a community event that fed my physical, emotional and spiritual needs.


I have used these guys quite a few times with the iOS 7 betas. I have never had a jailbreak take longer than 5 minutes to complete. Plus they have a 30 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee, so you really don't have to risk anything. If for any reason you are unsatisfied, you can always go back to factory settings without any problem.
When you do the jailbreak, you also get unlock included in the price. Now that is something I haven't seen elsewhere! Most of the time you get one or the other. Unlocking, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, means that you can use any carrier you want, as long as you get a sim card, and you don't have to deal with contracts.


Review determines that $1.6 billion in federal funds has largely gone to staffing, training and technology, just as intended.
As word went out last year that New Jersey's public schools would receive more than $1 billion million in federal stimulus funding, so did the warning that the state would keep a close eye on the money.
Meetings were held with local officials laying out the rules on how and where the money could be spent, and stipulating the vast amount of paperwork required for every dollar.
A year later, the state has completed its first 45 reviews of districts receiving the bulk of the funding, and by and large, the news is positive, state officials said.
"We're mostly seeing people doing what they should be doing," said Robert Cicchino, a former State Police commander who leads the state Department of Education's compliance division.
That's not to say there are no problems, as teams visiting districts such as Paterson, Pleasantville and Union City raised questions as to internal controls and accounting practices in those districts.
Other large school systems such as Newark and Jersey City – together receiving more than $200 million in stimulus money -- also have yet to be completed.
But so far, fears that large sums would be misspent haven't been realized.
Those good purposes include targeted areas such as staffing, teacher training and technology -- lots of technology. Tens of millions have gone to the purchase of computers, software and other items.
"I wish I had stock in Smartboards," Cicchino said, only half in jest.
Cicchino's 39-person office last year was given the task of completing the reviews that would be required for the state to receive the stimulus money.
Four teams of accountants, program experts and educators were drawn from throughout the education department, and 90 school districts were chosen based on a number of factors, together representing about 60 percent of all stimulus money distributed under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
In all, more than $1.6 billion in ARRA money was distributed across virtually every district in the state.
More than $1 billion of that total was applied to districts' overall state funding in 2009-10, largely allowing them to escape aid cuts that ultimately will come this year under Gov. Chris Christie's budget for 2010-11.
The rest was focused on special education programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and on those for low-income students under the federal Title I program.
They included programs like the one in Union City, where more than $4 million in new Title I money was applied to additional professional development for teachers, coaches in language arts and math, and added planning time for teachers to work together during the day.
But in a review completed this spring, Cicchino's staff also found some maintenance staff salaries were assigned to the ARRA stabilization money, against federal guidelines. Or that some of those Smartboard purchases were made without public bid, which also was required.
In Paterson, a state-operated district, more than $4 million was spent to hire 45 in-class support teachers, as well as literacy supervisors. More than 150 teachers received training for after-school programs, and new parent programs were launched, including a "mobile parent involvement unit" that would go into the community.
Pleasantville received more than $10.6 million in ARRA money, about $1.8 million for Title I and IDEA programs, including plans for a new READ 180 literacy curriculum and specialists for special needs children.
But the state's review questioned if there was ever any follow-through on that plan.
"The district claims READ 180 will be instituted in special education classrooms, but no formal plans have been implemented as of the monitoring visit. Pre-testing will be completed," read the review, completed in March.
Efforts yesterday to reach the district's superintendent, Gloria Grantham, were unsuccessful.
Cicchino said the work has only begun, as each of the reports for the first 45 districts is followed up and corrective action plans often required.
Another 45 districts will undergo the same monitoring in the coming year.
Of the ARRA money, Cicchino's division itself received about $900,000 to help pay for the monitoring, and he said it has sufficed.
But he added that the workload is unprecedented, and a request went into state Education Commissioner Bret Schundler this week for not only some per diem help for the coming year, but also long-term funding to keep the monitoring in place.

Q: Set a custom serializer in the include file with rails 5 I have this code that brings one vacancy from my model Vacancy and then render in json the attributes according to the serializer VacancyDetailSerializer:

Controller

vacancy = Vacancy.find(params[:id])
render json: vacancy, serializer: VacancyDetailSerializer,
                      include: [:restaurant]

The thing here is that in the include: [:restaurant] I want to specify a custom serializer the way I did with vacancy, because right now is taking the serializer of RestaurantSerializer, but I don't want to take that file, is there a way to do it with the include? Maybe is here in the controller, or maybe in the serializer?

A: If you have belongs_to :restaurant association in the VacancyDetailSerializer, then serializer for this association can be specified:
class VacancyDetailSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
  belongs_to :restaurant, serializer: AnotherRestaurantSerializer
end

Or it can be overridden by providing a block:
class VacancyDetailSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
  belongs_to :restaurant do
    AnotherRestaurantSerializer.new(object.restaurant)
  end
end

Or a custom association serializer lookup can be implemented.

"This is a hugely regressive step for Liverpool. Rather than trying to create a sustainable transport network which makes the city a greener, healthier, more attractive and more prosperous place to live, the council and Mayor Anderson have taken the anachronistic line that the car is king and left people even more dependent on driving.
"A six month trial does not give a clear enough picture of the impact that removing bus lanes might have on the wider economy and also people's health. Every £1 spent on bus lanes or bus priority measures creates over £3 in economic benefits , whilst conversely the increased in car use will generate dangerously high levels of air pollution. Liverpool leaders only need to look as far as Manchester, where £56 million is being invested in bus priority, to see a city benefiting from strong sustainable transport planning."
"Time and again it's been shown that creating new road space for cars simply generates more traffic and congestion over time - a process known as 'induced traffic'. As a busy urban area, Liverpool cannot be immune to this phenomenon and, indeed, evidence that new traffic has already filled up some of the former bus lanes can be seen in these initial reports.
"Bus passengers on almost every route have had their journeys disrupted, while on several roads drivers have lost out as well thanks to new traffic filling up the extra space for cars. Whatever small time savings drivers on other routes have seen will soon evaporate as well, leaving no one better off in the long term."

Visitors to downtown Farmington often seek the same things that have inspired others to make the small town their permanent home: warmth, energy, and connection.
"People who live here want to know their neighbors and be around others," says Farmington Mayor (and architect) Steven Schneemann.
Indeed, Schneemann has played no small role—since moving to Farmington from California in the 1990s—in the evolution of Farmington's downtown.

And so it has been. Something that organically took root shortly after the 2005 introduction of Sundquist Pavilion and Riley Park, for example, involved a group of area families wanting to give their home-schooled teens a regular occasion to socialize.
Steward believes the venue has a lot to do with Swing Farmington's success and longevity.
Echoes of Swing Farmington's youthful energy can be felt throughout downtown's business corridor.
Yes, alongside Millennial-friendly businesses like Browndog Barlor & Restaurant (a small batch artisan ice cream place with a full bar), Farmington also has Korner Barbers, which has been in business for more than half a century; a landmark, renovated second-run movie theater (Farmington Civic Theater), originally built in 1940, that's now owned by the city; John Cowley & Sons Irish Pub, a family-owned business that first put down roots (as Cowley's Old Village Inn) in 1972; and old, tree-lined neighborhoods that still occasionally play host to block parties.
Food and camaraderie are frequently on hand in Farmington's Sundquist Pavilion.
Plus, Mantey had previously spent a year teaching in India, so Farmington's Indian groceries and restaurants – and regular cricket games on a neighborhood school's baseball diamond – were an additional draw.
This raises the question: does Farmington simply attract those already looking for diversity and connection, or does the town somehow teach residents and visitors to value these things?
It's a new kind of old-fashioned small town.
"It's always amazed and pleased us that there are so many people in and around Downtown Farmington who value what we have going on here, and who understand that it takes all of us to keep it going successfully," says Becky Burns, who co-owns Sunflour Bakehaus with her husband, Jeff Pavlik.
And it's worth noting that the collaborative spirit of the town extends to its downtown businesses, so you'll regularly see loaves of Sunflour bread on sale at The Cheese Lady, and Sunflour brownies made with the latest offering from the Farmington Brewery, to name just two examples.
As the first snows arrive, of course, thoughts turn to the holidays, and Farmington's annual community tree-lighting at the historic Governor Warner Mansion, and the ice rink that will soon be open again at Farmington's Riley Park.
For Taylor, thoughts of the open-air rink called up a recent memory that, in some ways, definitively captures the feel of Farmington.
Scott Freeman, Farmington Civic Theater. Photo by David Lewinski.
"I was looking through some of my photos from the past year for inspiration, and one of them that stood out was the Glow Skate event last year at the Riley Park ice rink," Taylor says. "You had kids and families and young people and senior citizens, all chatting and skating and hanging out with their neighbors and friends in the heart of Farmington's downtown.

Everything rises or falls on good leadership. The fruitfulness and effectiveness of the local church are dependent upon men who exert strong, humble, and God-centered leadership. Weak men spawn weak churches. But men who live according to God's mandate are a part of churches that thrive and produce spiritual fruit to the glory of God.
1 Timothy 3:1, "The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer; he desires a noble task." So says the apostle Paul in his letter to Timothy. Raising up biblical elders was a challenge in the first-century church. It continues to pose a tremendous challenge in our day as well. There are numerous resources that help equip biblical elders. The most notable resource is Biblical Eldership by Alexander Strauch.
Robert Thune's excellent work, Gospel Eldership: Equipping a New Generation of Servant Leaders serves as a suitable companion and will no doubt be greatly used by God in the days to come.
So the author presents ten lessons that provide a workable platform to train prospective elders and nurture the faith of men who currently serve as elders.
Section one discusses biblical eldership at a grassroots level. The author explores the importance of servant leadership, examines the necessity of a plurality of leadership, and walks readers through the various character qualifications the make up an elder.
Section two focusses on the important duties of elders. Elders are called upon to feed, lead, protect, and care for the church. In addition, Mr. Thune discusses the necessity of leadership that is missional and also touches on some temptations that emerge in missional leaders.
The first thing readers will notice in this work is the short, readable chapters. Each lesson is packed with biblical wisdom that points readers to the gospel. Discussion questions are included along with exercises that will help apply the biblical principles.
There is much to commend in Thune's work. But the highlight of this book is found in its repeated emphasis on the gospel. The author sets his sights on the heart of the reader. It is clear from beginning to end that the aim is heart transformation in every elder.
I highly recommend Gospel Eldership and look forward to hearing about how it encourages Christian leaders around the world.


Hi! Sign in to let us know how TOP 10 UPPER WEST SIDE LOCKSMITHS was?
David L. Apr 07 .
I lost my keys on the way home and I had no way of getting into my house so i took advantage of the situation that it would take me about 30 minutes to get to my apartment so that way the locksmith could meet me at my house. TOP 10 beat me by almost 15 minutes. I felt bad that i kept him waiting but he was understanding and said he would wait. I got to the apartment and he was ready to go, in the process of making the key when i showed up. Dont worry i gave him the apartment #. The price was perfect and he was just awesome!
Noah J. Apr 07 .
I was loading some groceries and I guess in the process i must have lost my keys somewhere. I looked under the car and in all the bags and it just didnt make sense, i had unlocked the car. I called my wife to see if she could bring me the extra set from home; she couldnt find them and i later find out that she actually lost them a few months prior. She came to the grocery and also called the locksmith. I was was upset with having to have a new key made when they had to be somewhere. The locksmith arrived and it was a whole process. He cheered me up with the price and after all it wasnt so bad.
Fred H. Apr 07 .
I was on the subway one night on my way home and i must admit, i was intoxicated. I must have nodded off, i got off the train and walked a couple of blocks home and when i got home i reached in my pocket to grab my keys and realized someone had ripped open my pocket and my wallet phone and keys were missing. I was in shock. I didnt know what to do. It was cold out so i buzzed my neighbor to let me in. I came up to their down and asked if i could use the phone to call the police and a locksmith. I felt bad, because it was at least 3 in the morning. The tech didnt take long to arrive and got my door open and made me a key. I was so lucky that he was such a nice guy and understood my situation. I asked him to send me a bill and that i would pay it the second i got it. He spoke to the office and they made an exception. I was so grateful and offered to give something as colateral. The tech said it wouldnt be necessary and to have a good night. Thank you again TOP 10.

Koepp's letter further opens tiff with Lake Country
Sheboygan school officials to meet Tuesday to discuss special ed confidentiality breach
Koepp's letter further opens tiff with Lake Country Sheboygan school officials to meet Tuesday to discuss special ed confidentiality breach Check out this story on sheboyganpress.com: http://shebpr.es/1Sse5BA
Sheboygan Press Media Published 6:01 a.m. CT May 23, 2015

A letter allegedly mailed by former Lake Country Academy administrator Carla Koepp to some 100 parents and staff of the school may have violated special needs confidentiality, opening the door to possible legal action .
The letter, sent earlier this month, is Koepp's first public response after the school's Governance Board chose to not renew her contract and place her on leave earlier this year. Koepp calls the contents of the letter "the rest of the story," and alleges "mistruths" and mistreatment against her by school and district officials.
The Lake Country Governance Board responded in a letter to parents and staff on Sunday "because through the context and statements in the (Koepp) letter, student confidentiality may have been breached as determined by two legal opinions," Governance Board President Michou Reichelsdorfer said in an email.
"We are now forced to respond to the recent letter some of you have received from Carla Koepp," the Governance Board's letter says. "Unfortunately, Carla's letter contains much misinformation and has once again caused problems for LCA with the Sheboygan Area School District. At this time Carla remains an employee of LCA on administrative leave and as such she had no permission or authority to send the letter. The situation described in her letter has been viewed as a breach of student confidentiality. We have admonished Carla for this and have directed her to cease and desist from further communications with you concerning LCA matters."
The Sheboygan Area School District Board of Education will meet in closed session Tuesday night to participate in "preliminary consideration of specific personnel problems or investigation of charges against specific persons" in relation to a "special education student confidentiality issue," according to the agenda. District officials confirmed the agenda item is in reference to Lake Country.
Superintendent Joe Sheehan said no charges have been filed, but because Koepp is still considered a school employee, a lawsuit could be filed against the school as well.
As a non-instrumentality charter school, Lake Country Academy has a contract with the Sheboygan Area School District to meet certain requirements in exchange for some funding, but the school operates autonomously under the direction and authority of a Governance Board. It is a public school, open to any families interested in applying. If enrollment applications exceed space, a lottery is held to determine admittance.
Feb. 6, the Governance Board placed Koepp on what Reichelsdorfer told a Sheboygan Press reporter was permanent leave. The Governance Board would not detail the reasons for its decision because of confidentiality constraints, but later released a statement saying the board and Koepp "disagreed on the path forward to resolve concerns" regarding special education.
In her letter, Koepp said she has been asked to cease any involvement with the school and that the Governance Board has told her the majority of staff members have indicated through interviews that they don't want her to return.
"At this point and after several mistruths perpetrated by the board, I question the reasons for barring my association with LCA," Koepp wrote. "It seems the actions taken were extreme considering the situation. At no time was I extended the respect to discuss the Governance Board's concerns regarding their new direction and special education."
Koepp called on parents to express their disapproval of the Governance Board's decision "in whatever fashion you choose, but make your voices heard.
"The foundation upon which LCA was built is being shaken by a Board who has made the determination that their vision is superior to the vision that has made LCA the number one school in our district," Koepp wrote. "At this point the only voices with any power are those of the parents. If you are concerned about your children's education and the 'new direction' of LCA, ask yourself whether that direction is better served by an experienced administrator with formal education or a Board whose majority of members have no knowledge, education or experience in school administration."
Early in her letter, Koepp also alludes to a situation that prompted the district to investigate the school's special needs practices late last year.
Koepp says in the letter that Sheehan called a meeting with two school officials — excluding Koepp — to discuss the matter and implied to those present that the school's contract "could be jeopardized if (Koepp) continued as administrator."
The Governance Board and Koepp agreed to non-renew her contract, but discussed Koepp could take on a different role at the school for the 2015-16 school year, Koepp wrote. However, the week of Feb. 1, Koepp was asked to either resign or retire, and on Feb. 5, was asked to leave the school building.
"I felt like I was some kind of criminal, at least the treatment seemed that way," Koepp wrote.
Koepp says the Governance Board did not make clear the reasons why she was being fired beyond the district's "threat" to pull the school's contract and "the need to move in a new direction."
Under Wisconsin law, a school is required to provide services to special needs students. If a school is found in violation of state statutes, it could ultimately result in a lawsuit, a loss of funding or closure of the school.
Koepp wrote the special needs situation in question was reviewed by Lake Country's attorney, who found that Koepp's actions "were not in violation of the charter and were in compliance with state and federal special education laws."
Reichelsdorfer said in an email that "all proper procedures were followed with the advice of legal counsel" in Koepp's non-renewal.
Reichelsdorfer also said the school's "new direction" entails a restructuring of the Governance Board to "enhance support and oversight of the administration, and to engage the school community more broadly in the success of the school.
"The pillars of our school — Direct Instruction, Core Knowledge and Core Virtue — will remain the foundation on which we continue to deliver excellence in education," Reichelsdorder wrote.

Jumla's great leap into the future
Kantika Sejuwal says Jumla is already ahead of the rest of Nepal with female mayor and deputy
Krishnamaya Upadhyaya in Jumla September 7, 2018

Jumla may be in the heart of culturally conservative mountains of northwestern Nepal, but it has the most progressive municipality because it is the only city in which both the mayor and deputy mayor elected in last year's local election are women.
Kantika Sejuwal was a school principal in Jumla, and not really into politics. But after her husband Manav Sejuwal, who was district president of the Nepali Congress, was killed in a plane crash five years ago, she was persuaded to stand for mayor of Chandannath Municpality and won. Her deputy is Apsara Neupane of the NCP.
"People have an outdated perception of Jumla, it is not the land of uneducated people anymore. Though there are social inequalities, there are also many educated and capable women. The local election has proved that," Mayor Sejuwal told Nepali Times in an interview. Sejuwal did have to struggle inside her own party for the nomination, but she won the hearts of Jumla's voters during the campaign. However, one year after she was elected, there are the usual grumblings, also heard elsewhere, that improvements are not as rapid as promised during election time.
The major problems of Chandannath Municipality, the capital of Jumla district, is still roading, electricity, and communication– the same issues that dominated the last local election of 1997. Although, since then, Jumla has been connected to the Karnali Highway, the airport has been upgraded and the town has more development. Not all ten wards are connected by road even though Sejuwal has opened tracks. There are still power cuts, but these may end when two hydropower plants go into operation.

"There is still a lot to be done here. Yes, roads are being built all over, but they are destroying farmlands and forests. No one has time to think of those things now," says Jumla resident Chudaraj Neupane. There is also concern that Jumla is not prepared for natural disasters like earthquakes, since the new buildings are not seismic-resistant. Sejuwal says she has been trying to balance the need to deliver fast on roads with proper environmental assessments concerns.
Another Jumla resident, Sushmita Thapa, is more concerned about waste management. After the road reached Jumla, it brought packaged foods and single-use plastic, which are just dumped on the banks of the once-pristine Tila River. Sejuwal is aware of the problem, and says a landfill site has been located and the Municipality is looking for funds to complete it.
Sejuwal, like other mayoral candidates last year, had promised to make Jumla a 'Smart City'. Many residents don't think the place has become any smarter, and accuse the mayor of just using a catchy phrase. But the mayor says a Smart City does not just mean better infrastructure. "We are trying to focus on improving governance, and a development model that suits our geography."

Has having a woman in that position made any difference? The people of Jumla say that access to services has certainly become easier, especially for women. The municipality building has also been made disabled-friendly. "Women, people with disabilities and the elderly come to me with problems like domestic violence, education and employment," says Sejuwal, who has started an employment program for 400 women.
The mayor has also been trying to address engrained gender and caste discrimination manifested in crimes like chhaupadi. However, she says: "The government has banned these practices, but they are deep rooted and will take a long time to change."
Since both the mayor and deputy mayor of Jumla are women, some wonder if they are up to the task. But Sejuwal says she is working with her deputy on not just the next four years of her tenure, but for the next 20.
"We don't know if we will be elected to the next term, but we have a vision for beyond our tenures," says Sejuwal, who is in Kathmandu this week to plan for an investment conference in Jumla in September.
"We want to encourage investors to come to Jumla and see that it has much potential in agro-industries, tourism and infrastructure," says Sejuwal. "We hope the infusion of funds will help sustained development of Jumla in future."
