Kinde 9-year-old sets up donation effort for homeless
"He just wants to help people," mother says
By Robert Creenan, Robert.Creenan@Hearst.com
Published 12:33 am EST, Saturday, December 21, 2019
KINDE -- A 9-year-old kid from Kinde wants to do his part in helping the less fortunate of Huron County.
Collin Jarrells, a fourth-grader at Caseville Schools, has been collecting blankets and pillows for the past week to donate to the homeless.
Jarrells' mother, Darlene, said she does not know where the idea originally came from.
"I was making coffee one morning when Collin said, 'We need 14 blankets and 14 pillows,'" Jarrells said. "I asked, 'For what?' And he said. 'For the homeless.'"
After talking it over a bit more, the Jarrells' set up a Facebook event, called Pillows and Blankets for those in need, to help facilitate any donations they receive for Collin's project.
Since starting on Dec. 10, they already exceeded their goal of 14 blankets and 14 pillows, currently at 25 pillows, 20 blankets, and $25 in cash donations to buy more when donations are done.
For people who want to drop off blankets or pillows, they can reach out to Darlene on Facebook to set up a drop-off or pick-up time.
For those buying blankets or pillows at Walmart's online store, they can list Darlene as an alternate pick-up at the Bad Axe location.
People can also reach out to Darlene's friend, Allison Wright, for any monetary donations.
The Jarrells are still looking for a place to donate all the blankets and pillows they will collect, talking to the Caseville schools homeless liaison and considering Fiddler's Green.
Darlene said this is something her son plans on continuing in the future, focusing not just on blankets and pillows, but on food and coats as well.
"I asked him a couple of times why?" Jarrells said. "He said he wants to help people."
The Jarrells will be accepting donations until Dec. 23.

Q: Get all tags of a repository with JGit I want to get a list of all tags of a repository together with the tagger and the commit-IDs with JGit.
First I tried the Git.tagList().call() command and parse the tags:
objectIdOfTag = oneResultOfTheTagList.getObjectId();
// or should I call getPeeledObjectId() here?

RevWalk walk = new RevWalk(repository);
RevTag tag = walk.parseTag(objectIdOfTag);

This works for my repository, but I am unsure if this is the correct way: Is it correct to call Ref.getObjectId() or should I call Ref.getPeeledObjectId()? (What is a "peeled ObjectId"?)
Is there a difference between lightweight and annotated tags when retrieving the tag list  with JGit?

A: getObjectId is correct here. In the case of an annotated tag, you want to get the ID of the annotated tag object, not the ID of the commit the tag finally points to. See also the Javadoc of Ref.
To parse the tag, you will have to handle both the lightweight and annotated cases:
RevObject object = walk.parseAny(objectIdOfTag);
if (object instanceof RevTag) {
    // annotated
} else if (object instanceof RevCommit) {
    // lightweight
} else {
    // invalid
}

Cash Coaster is an IGT video slot played at 5 reels and 30 paylines. This slot game is unusual in that it pays from both left to right and vice versa. As the title suggests, it draws inspiration from amusement parks with plenty of pretzels, candy apples, sticks with sugar wool, ice cream cones and popcorn boxes on display.
The game features two special symbols, Wild and Scatter. Both symbols are designed to match the theme of the game and appear on all the reels to complete your winning combos and trigger free spins respectively. Wild decorated with flashy lights replaces all the symbols except for Scatter to help you create more winning combinations. During the base game, players can benefit from the Random Wilds feature that can make the reels 1 or 5 or both of them simultaneously go fully Wild.
Scatter is represented by the Free Spins ticket and once 3 of these hit the reels, you will trigger the free spins feature. You will be offered to pick one of 3 ticket booths on the screen to reveal how many free games you will play. The feature can award 4, 5 or 6 free turns with the reels 1 and 5 fully Wild for its duration. When 3 Free Spins tickets appear on the reels during the feature, you will earn 6 additional free spins.
With its retro design and colourful graphics, the slot machine will provide you with an entertaining gaming experience. Once you cover the reels 1 and 5 with Wilds, you will see roller coasters on the reels, which contributes to the theme of the game along with a noisy soundtrack which may remind you of land-based slot machines.
The top paying icon is red seven delivering 500 coins for a five of a kind combination. Seven symbols which come in five vibrant colours also pay when appear mixed on the reels, but in order to win a prize, you have to cover a line with these icons entirely. This combination pays only 40 coins, though.
The free spins feature is undoubtedly the highlight of the game with two Wild reels that will boost your winning chances on every free turn. If you manage to retrigger the feature, you will have multiple opportunities to win for sure. Look out for Wilds on the reels 1 and 5 as they can cover them entirely even within the base game and complete multiple winning combinations at once.
Take a ride on the IGT roller coaster with the game having an RTP between 91.99 and 96.06% and you can win up to 15,000 coins in a single spin. This high payout rate is very important if you like to gamble online for real money to try and win cash. That said, it is also good if you like to play for fun, trying to win play money, to build your 'virtual' winnings.
Also, don't forget that you can create winning combinations both ways and Random Wilds covering the leftmost and rightmost reels will definitely help you do so. This is not the best looking or the most rewarding IGT title, but if you are looking for an amusing slot with a retro feel, we can recommend you to give Cash Coaster a try.


An effective moisture complex of hydrating White Lily, Vitamin B5 and Phospholipid nourishes your skin and maintains its moisture balance leaving it clean, soft and smooth.
I have tried a number of cleansers, so many that I can't even count them, but none has worked as good as Kaya's Hydra Surge 360 degrees. The cleanser has been devised to inhibit sensitivity and dryness from your skin leaving it hydrated. It is a gel based cleanser that comes in a white plastic bottle with a pump, making it easy to extract. The bottle is very handy and can be easily carried in a hand bag. Hydra Surge nourishes the skin and sustains its moisture balance providing a very smooth texture. After few days of use I could see a difference in my skin. My skin seemed clearer and softer. This cleanser contains White Lily Herb, which heals damaged and irritated skin tissues and rejuvenates the skin. This is a great cleanser for people with dry, sensitive skin.
Seriously, I couldn't find a single reason to cut short the points. This is the perfect cleanser for me!
Have you used this product? Which cleanser are you currently using?
have used kaya toner that was gud too... this sounds good too!
Wow, thats an excellent rating, this cleaner must be really good! I am thankful for your kind comment dear.
I didn't know this brand, but sounds good.
I didnt see that brand before-.
hai pls help to selcet which heat protectant spray...whether Toniguy or John Frida frizz ease or label.m..pls tel me which is best among these rate each of them..And also tel ur favourite heat protectant spray...Thank u..
Hey Jenitha! I have used both of these and I liked Toni and Guy over John Frieda heat protector. I am currently using 'Flat iron spray' by a brand called 'FX' but I rarely use heat on my hair anymore so can't really comment on how good this product is.

Q: registerReceiver for Broadcast only if it's not already registered? I have a snippet of code that I'm calling from a service:
context.registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        try {
            WifiManager mWm = (WifiManager) context
                    .getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
            ret = mWm.isWifiEnabled();
            // DO MORE STUFF HERE
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
    }
}, new IntentFilter(WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION));

What I would like is a way to check and make sure that the registerReceiver isn't already listening before it calls it again.  Is this possible?
For example if my snippet of code is in a method, and I call the method 10 times, right now the onReceive method appears to run 10 times.

A: There isn't a way of finding out — you should only be calling registerReceiver once, most likely upon the creation of your service.
You need to keep a reference to the BroadcastReceiver too for when you call unregisterService (onDestroy() is the natural place for it), otherwise the system will warn you about leaking broadcast receivers and get angry and possibly shout at you.

A: What about something like this
class Thing {
    interface R {
        void onReceive(Context c, Intent i);
    }

    private BroadcastReceiver receiver;
    private IntentFilter filter;
    private boolean isRegistered = false;

    public Thing(Thing.R r, String... actions) {
        receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                r.onReceive(context, intent);
            }
        };
        filter = new IntentFilter();
        for (String a : actions)
            filter.addAction(a);
    }

    public void register(Context c) {
        if (isRegistered) return;
        c.registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
        isRegistered = true;
    }

    public void unregister(Context c) {
        if (!isRegistered) return;
        c.unregisterReceiver(receiver);
        isRegistered = false;
    }
}

then
Thing t = new Thing((c, i) -> {
    try {
        WifiManager mWm = (WifiManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        ret = mWm.isWifiEnabled();
        // DO MORE STUFF HERE
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
}, WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION);

now call t.register as many as you like!

After city officials in Las Vegas hosted an unveiling ceremony for its brand new, self-driving shuttle bus, a truck backed up into it.
A self-driving, electric shuttle bus was involved in an accident less than two hours after its launch in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
This came after city officials hosted an unveiling ceremony for the shuttle bus, which is described as the United States' first self-driving shuttle pilot project geared towards the public, reports ZDNet.
The shuttle went on to crash into a semi-truck, but according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, through no fault of its own. The human driver of the semi-truck vehicle backed up into the shuttle. Luckily no injuries were reported and there appears to be minimal damage.
Police said that the shuttle came to a stop when it sensed the truck was trying to back up. The truck continued to back up until its tires touched the front of the shuttle. And, while the driver was cited for illegal backing, the shuttle will continue to operate after undergoing a complete diagnostic assessment.
So, how does the shuttle work?
The shuttle is quite advanced: The oval-shape shuttle can reportedly transport up to 11 passengers and can talk to traffic signals and share the road with other vehicles while stopping for pedestrians.
The shuttle is managed by an attendant and a computer monitor, and uses GPS and electric curb sensors instead of brake pedals or a steering wheel.
Last year, Google's self-driving car was found to be at fault when it struck a public bus in California and Tesla's Autopilot feature was engaged when the driver of a 2015 Model S was killed in an accident in Florida in May last year. Though, after an investigation, it was found that the accident wasn't due to defects in the design or performance.
Do you think something like this will work in South Africa?

Drag Bingo brings laughter and bookstore gift certificates

Performers dressed as women dance and tell jokes.

When most people think of bingo, they may imagine a smoke-filled hall with tables of people pushing multicolored markers against bingo cards.
Drag bingo, a Coming Out Week sixth annual event hosted by Gay, Ally Lesbian Alliance, was not your run of the mill bingo.
The event had drag performers Lyn-z Lang Andrews and Alayna Marquez performing renditions of songs and witty banter Wednesday in the craft room of Loftin Student Center.
Marquez opened the show by performing a lip-synced rendition of Rihanna's "Diamonds" in a sparkling blue dress with a red hand-held fan.
The audience of 30 people clapped along with the music as Marquez made her way through the crowd dancing with audience members.
After Marquez finished her performance, two bingo cards were given to each member of the crowd with a cup of beans to mark numbers as they were called out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, for those of y'all who didn't know, we are actually women," Andrews said, killing time as cards were handed out.
After a long pause followed by a roaring applause, Andrews smiled, "Just kidding, we're not."
The games went from traditional bingo, L-shape, four corners, diagonals, and then black out.
Between numbers, Andrews and Marquez joked around with audience members and joked about dressing as women and performing in clubs.
Throughout the event, some participants left but there was one participating student, who ended up playing with three extra bingo cards that were left.
Andrews noticed that the student was playing with five cards and asked, "Have you won yet?"
The student shook her head no.
"Dang, you're cheating and you still haven't won," Andrews said. The student left empty-handed.
Winners were given a $25 gift certificate to the college bookstore in Loftin.
All participants received bracelets that read, "SAC is coming out for equality," and flashlights and lanyards that read, "I now pronounce you, Y'all."
Following the event, audience members took photos with Andrews and Marquez.
Andrews and Marquez explained that most drag performers choose to adopt a stage name rather than use their birth name.
Andrews' stage name came from multiple sources: Lyn-z is in reference to her mother's name Linda, Lang refers to her drag mother name, and Andrews comes from her drag mentor's name.
Marquez's stage name comes from a friend named Alayna and Marquez comes from an ex-lover.
Marquez has been a drag performer for 15 years, and Andrews celebrated performing for 16 years on Oct. 12.
It was their first time performing at this college.
"It wasn't as lavish last year, but it can't always be like the predecessors," said Jillian Keeton, GALA president and liberal arts sophomore.
What matters most is that the audience was able to be around those with different lifestyles and not even question it, Keeton said.
GALA meets 3 p.m.-4:30 p.m. Wednesdays in the faculty and staff lounge of Loftin.

I love a place with a story and a personality behind it and it seems that Copenhagen is really enjoying a burst of these kind of places at the moment. On Friday I got myself motivated and before the rain clouds set in I headed down to Ryesgade to see what all the buzz is about a new pastry or småkager shop just opened a few months ago. Leckerbaer is a small bakery and coffee shop selling various kinds of small delectable biscuits, cream puffs and madeleines, and wonderful coffee in a simple but cosy little place. I had a lovely chat with Jakob who, with his wife Gabi, founded the bakery and produce all the pastries in the glass fronted bakery next door to the shop. They are both trained chefs and have worked in Michelin starred restaurants around the world. Jakob told me that baking sweet things such as the beautiful biscuits they sell was their hobby and they decided to make their passion into a business.
Having tasted a couple of the biscuits I can say this was a smart move – the lemon one I tried was wonderfully crunchy but at the same time had a super moist filling. Watching the care and attention Jakob put into arranging a take away box of biscuits (above left) for a local customer (take away boxes are their main sellers), you can tell how much pleasure his handiwork gives him, and judging by the smile on the customer's face, others too. I can't wait to come back and treat us to our very own box.

Popularity Of Hamlet And Rosen Research Essay Example #327
Popularity Of Hamlet And Rosen Essay, Research Paper
Four centuries divide the composing of the texts in this elected. With close mention to the texts suggest grounds for the continued popularity of both dramas.
Reasons for the continued popularity of Hamlet the Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard are the characters that both dramas have, the linguistic communication and temper used by both dramatists and the audiences they cater for.
Hamlet the Prince of Denmark: or Hamlet by celebrated dramatist William Shakespeare was foremost performed in 1601. Hamlet is about corruptness, incest, slaying and retaliation. It is a retaliation calamity. Hamlet is the supporter of the drama ; he is the vindictive character. Claudius, Uncle of Hamlet is King of Denmark ; he married Hamlet s female parent Gertrude after killing of the King of Denmark, Hamlet s male parent and Gertrude s hubby. Murder most disgusting, as in the best it is, /But this most disgusting, unusual and unnatural. Hamlet is considered huffy throughout the drama and two minor characters Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are summoned to Elsinor by Claudius to happen the agencies of Hamlet s lunacy. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are friends of Hamlet from University. These two characters are people who need to be given orders to carry through their being, but in Hamlet the action Claudius has assigned is to large for them. They give themselves off. There is a sort of confession in you looks which your modestnesss have non had plenty coloring material. Hirelings, they end up being destroyed by a secret plan within a secret plan of which they have no apprehension and over which they have no control. Hamlet warns them off but they are either excessively avaricious, Your trial shall have such thanks/As tantrums a King s recollection and
Rosencrantz Take you me for a sponge my Godhead?
Hamlet Ay sir, that soaks up the King s visage, his wagess.
or excessively stupid to mind him. Ophelia is Hamlet s love and is used as come-on by Polonius, Ophelia s male parent and Claudius to seek and turn out his lunacy. And I do doubt the hatch and the disclose/Will be some danger ; which for to forestall. Polonius is Ophelia s male parent and a loyal cortege to Claudius. Shakespeare presents him as a adult male whose desire to function the King is rooted as much in amour propre and a sense of his ain importance as in responsibility. The drama shows parents commanding their kids s lives. Polonius is an autocratic male parent who demands unconditioned obeisance. But every bit good as showing Polonius as autocratic Shakespeare besides presents him as sordid.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard was foremost performed in 1967. In Tom Stoppard s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, the action in Hamlet is viewed through the eyes of two participants who journey to Elsinore at the behest of King Claudius and Queen Gertrude. The Royal twosome has asked Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to come to Elsinore to find whether Hamlet, who has put on this confusion, is truly insane or merely up to something. Tom Stoppard s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are reinvented to those of Shakespeare s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and today it is hard to show them in the theater other than as a brace of clowns, a latter-day Tweedledum and Tweddledee. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are the Supporters of Tom Stoppard s drama ; they are characters that have no yesteryear, no hereafter and no remembrance of why they are at Elsinor. They invariably forget who they are as a consequence for non retrieving their yesteryear. They are two characters who make up one individual and can sometimes be compared to Hamlet, as he to has two sides to himself. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern need each other to last, we see that their actions are adrift and little things amuse them, for illustration the changeless tossing of coins, which merely of all time come up as caputs. We see from this that Guildenstern is more of a mind and leader than Rosencrantz. Guildenstern becomes disturbed by the flip of the coins. Is that it, so? Is that all?
Shakespeare s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are presented to us as though they are existent courtiers, set existent undertakings by a existent King. Of class in one sense they are characters in a drama, but that is non how Shakespeare presents them. With Stoppard s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern the instance is rather different: doubtless they think they are existent human existences, and they have non read the drama which that have such minor parts, but nevertheless it is as characters in that drama that they are presented to us. In ocular footings Shakespeare s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are images of existent people ; Stoppard s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are images of images.
The characters of both Hamlet by William Shakespeare and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard are still popular today even though they have been written four centuries apart, it is because of the deepness of the characters in Hamlet and the changeless temper that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern undertaking. Both Hamlet and Claudius come across as being more so what the exterior image allows us to see.
What if this cursed hand/Were thicker than itself with brother s blood, /Is there non rain plenty in the sweet heavens/To wash it white as snow? Stoppard s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern wonder aimlessly and play pathetic games like word tennis or the 90 times at whirling a coin, waiting for orders to make something.
Guil What are you making now?
Ros I don t know. What do you desire to make?
Guil I have no desires. None. There was a courier that s right. We were sent for.
The linguistic communication in Shak
espeare is old English it was written in the medieval epoch and is of great complexness. Today many people of all ages quote Shakespeare s linguistic communication. His linguistic communication is frequently written in poetry and is instead complex and has great significance to it. One of the most celebrated addresss in English literature which people of all ages quote is:
Hamlet To be, or non to be, that is the question-
Whether Ti nobler in the head to endure
The slings and pointers of hideous luck
Or to take weaponries against a sea of problems,
And by opposing stop them. To decease, to kip
No more ; and by a slumber to state we end
Shakespeare s linguistic communication can fascinate people because it is different to that linguistic communication spoken in our present society. It can fascinate people merely the same as a peculiar speech pattern can fascinate some people.
The bulk of linguistic communication in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is of modern pros. This could stand for the simpleness of the character Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. It is merely when Stoppard has incorporated the original crossroads into the text that we see Shakespearian English. Even so when the characters from the original Hamlet are bought into the drama Rosencrantz and Guildenstern still speak modern pros.
Hamlet Nymph, in thy prayers be all my wickednesss remembered.
Ophelia Good by Godhead, how does your honor for this many a twenty-four hours?
Hamlet I meekly thank you-well, good, good
Ros It s like life in a public park!
Guil Very impressive. Yes I thought your direct informal attack was traveling to halt this thing dead in its paths at that place. If I might do a suggestion shut up and sit down.
Stoppard s linguistic communication is frequently humorous in subdivisions. Stoppard s drama is of the genre of the Absurdists theater. Humour in the linguistic communication can be seen through Guildenstern when he tries to explicate the jurisprudence of chance, which is a satirical poke at mathematics text editions. If I have got this right, means that if six monkeys were thrown up in the air for long adequate they would set down on the dress suits about every bit frequently as they would set down on their- .
Popularity of these dramas can be seen through the linguistic communication nowadays in both dramas. Hamlet through Shakespeare s complex linguistic communication that can fascinate people and the complexness and significance of what his poetries mean. In Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead the simple linguistic communication can do it easier for us to understand which can add to the popularity as the characters are such clowns that their linguistic communication can merely be simple in order for them to understand, but it besides contains such tempers as sarcasm, which can be seen by the audience entirely, as we know what is the characters fate but there is frequently conversations that intimation at their destiny I tell you it s all fillet to a decease, it s portending to a deepness, Steping to a caput, it s all header to a dead stop- . Absurdity with their simplistic lives and games, Puns on the linguistic communication and many more.
Hamlet was foremost performed in 1601, a clip of great political uncertainness in English history in which the tribunal of Queen Elizabeth I had withstood an blackwash effort, a defeated rebellion and a failed invasion of Britain by Spain. The events of Hamlet, in which a King is murdered and a state finally forfeited to a foreign power, would hold had peculiar resonance for an Elizabethan audience. A popular theatrical genre during the Elizabethan age was the retaliation calamity, which was good established in London by the clip Shakespeare wrote Hamlet. Features of such dramas was a melodramatic secret plan in which a hero is confronted by a slaying that he must revenge. Shakespeare employs the retaliation calamity construction but transcends such dramas, researching human nature and the human status. Shakespeare s tight control on emotion avoids the surpluss of melodrama.
Tom Stoppard s play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead was written in the 1960 s, an epoch in the 20th century which was laid back, religious and simplistic. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is in parts simplistic and a drama of the absurdist theater. The early 1960 s was characterised by the Satire roar. Stoppard s appropriation of Shakespeare s Hamlet and his audience s credence of this device reflects the temper of the clip. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1966 and had its London premiere in somewhat revised signifier in 1967. It was critically acclaimed as a groundbreaking drama in British theater.
Shakespeare s Hamlet reflects what society felt at the clip in which the drama was written ; it reflected the values of the common society. It is still popular today because it besides reflects the manner in which the society of the twenty-first century feel, it still reflects their values and ideas of what the drama was written approximately. Stoppard s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead was written in a clip when sarcasm was the manner to compose and today a larger array of authorship is accepted and read by all people. Today society is likely less pressured to be portion of a group but more people are desiring to be their ain single ego and this is the ground why so many different genre s in composing are accepted.
Reasons for the continued popularity of both Hamlet the Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard are the characters in which both writers portray, the linguistic communication and temper which is suited to all those people who are intrigued or happen easy to understand and the audiences they where written for as a wider scope of genre is available and accepted in todays society.

The ADN program at ABAC consists of 74 credit hours and can be completed in six semesters. Both a traditional track and an advanced placement track for qualifying Licensed Practical Nurses (LPM) are available. The curriculum is organized to provide essential, sequenced learning experiences and emphasizes caring behaviors, communication, critical thinking, nursing process, client-centeredness, and professionalism.

Gordon State College is part of Georgia's state university system and the aim of the nursing program is to prepare entry-level nurses for their first career experience. Gordon's two campuses feature state of the art classes and labs, individualized attention and apartment-style housing.
Gordon offers a three-year ASN degree which typically leads directly to a career in healthcare. Entry requirements for the program include a minimum score of 62% on the Kaplan Nursing Admission Test. The curriculum aims to deliver generalist-trained graduates who are ready to provide nursing services in a wide range of healthcare settings. ASN students at Gordon are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam when they graduate and their average pass rate is typically higher than the state and national average. The Gordon State College ASN Program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing.
ADN students at Gwinnett Technical College must first apply and be accepted into the Interdisciplinary Studies degree program with a concentration of Healthcare Management. Students complete three semesters of core courses and must maintain a GPA above 3.0 before transitioning to the nursing program for a further four semesters. In addition to the traditional nursing option, Gwinnett College offers both a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Bridge and a Paramedic Bridge program option. The curriculum for all three programs aims to provide a strong generalist foundation in the practice of nursing.
All ADN program graduates are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) and the historic average pass rate for Gwinnett graduates is higher than the state and national average. Gwinnett Technical College is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing.
West Georgia Technical College is the state's third largest technical college. The ADN program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing. Applicants to the ADN program are required to take the ATI TEAS exam for competitive selection and receive additional credit in the selection progress for previous clinical experience, and/or completion of the Nurse Aide certification program.
70% of students at West Georgia Technical College successfully complete the ADN program within nine semesters of the time from entry into the program. ADN graduates are eligible to sit the NCLEX-RN examination to obtain their state license. Pass rates for the NCLEX-RN over the last few years have been above the US average but lower than the average for Georgia.
The basic requirement for RN status in Georgia is an associate degree (ADN). As a result, these types of courses are very popular across the state with over 25 ADN programs available, the majority being delivered by local technical and community colleges. While program lengths vary, aspiring ADN students can complete their nursing studies, sit the NCLEX-RN examination to obtain a state license, and find a job as an RN within a minimum of just two years.
Wherever you choose to study for your ADN in Georgia, your chances of passing the NCLEX-RN examination are generally good, as the average pass rate for examination in the state has been several percentage points higher than the average pass rate nationwide for some years.
Many ADN graduates in Georgia will go on to extend their studies and will choose to pursue a BSN or MSN at a later stage in their careers. In addition, since January 2018, RNs licensed in Georgia are able to apply for a multi-state license that will enable them to practice in the almost thirty states that have signed up to the enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC).
Associate degree programs allow for an earlier entry to the nursing workforce than bachelors programs. This enables graduates to quickly build up their working experience and to offset the cost of their studies more quickly. The quality of teaching for ADN programs that are delivered by community and technical colleges is also frequently noted as a benefit. Community colleges actively recruit faculty with extensive real-world practical experience. This enhances the relevance of the learning for students and may help to prepare them more effectively for entry to the workplace.
Licensing in Georgia is managed by the Georgia Board of Nursing. The state is moving to a system that will require every school that offers an ADN program to be licensed, but at the current time, it is still important for aspiring students in Georgia to check the status of their chosen program either via the individual school website or via the Georgia Board of Nursing website. For an educational institution to obtain Board approval for licensure, the curriculum of their ADN program must be considered to be suitable preparation for the NCLEX-RN examination.
In addition to educational institutions requiring approval and licensure, RNs must obtain an individual license in order to practice in the state. ADN graduates obtain a license by passing the NCLEX-RN examination at the end of their program of study.
A shortage of nurse educators means that places in ADN programs across the state are in high demand, entry can be very competitive and there are waitlists for some programs. Applicants are often required to have pre-requisite college-level courses in Biology, English, Psychology, Chemistry, Communications, and Math with a minimum GPA in the 2.75-3.0 range; some longer-duration programs include these courses within the curriculum. In addition, applicants may be required to sit additional admissions tests such as the Kaplan Nursing Admission Test or the ATI Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) and may be expected to demonstrate previous clinical experience as a Nursing Aide or similar.
There are a number of different ways of referring to associate degrees in nursing. These include ADN, for Associate Degree – Nursing; AN, for Associate of Nursing; ASN, for Associate of Science in Nursing; and AAS, for Associate of Applied Science in Nursing. As long as the institution granting the degree is fully accredited by either ACEN or CCNE and approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing, graduates of all of these types of associate degrees are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN examination to obtain a license to practice as a Registered Nurse in the state.

Botin Partners hold an enviable record in the TP52 class
Botin Partners hold an enviable record in the TP52 class, designers of the boats which have won the 52 SUPER SERIES or the MedCup every year since 2008 with Quantum Racing(s), Emirates Team New Zealand and Azzurra. They have had a busy autumn and winter designing the class's latest entrant, the new Brazilian flagged Phoenix which will debut at Palma Vela in April, before taking on the 52 SUPER SERIES in Europe.
Partner Adolfo Carrau brings us up to speed on developments for the newest 52:
What are the differences, will they be noticeable?
For the guys on the circuit who know boats closely they will see some differences on the hull shape and more obviously on the deck layout with the new 2015 rule. Cockpit volume is not enforced anymore and we can be a bit more creative about winch placement and so on.
I think we spent an awful lot of time with the structural engineers to find what is optimum because it really is very tempting to empty the cockpit completely. It has some structural disadvantages so we looked for the best trade offs. And we looked of course to just keep the boat as light as possible within the rules and as stiff as possible. But all in all we have made another big jump, a nice jump compared to previous boats compared to where we were. Amazingly after several generations we still make the boats faster and stiffer and also to comply with the ISO and GL scantlings. So a lot of refinement went into the deck and the structural layout.
The other area of interest is the keel, it needs to be 200 kilos lighter. We did spend a lot of time working not just on the hydrodynamic shape but also the structure to see how we could make a keel which is lighter but we did not want to make it any smaller. And so now the keels are steel and composite so that was a big job. Another area of benefit is in the new mast, the high modulus carbon, the deflector and the composite rigging, that is a good decision by the class. The deflector especially is good but that in itself did create some issues for the internal structure as there is already a lot of rope running below and to run a system below decks has been a bit of a challenge, which we have just overcome recently.
So the boat is now 99 per cent designed and engineered there are just some very small pieces missing and the yard is full on. They are on target. It has been a very interesting four months working on this with the new rule. The boats are 300 kilos lighter and so next year the boat will be ballasted compared to the 2011 rule which is the one we used for Quantum Racing and Azzurra, the boat is 300kgs lighter and so the hull shape is going to be different. The hull shape is different in the sense that fleet has changed. Our boats have always been specially good upwind, we make good upwind TP52 boats and with this boat we really tried to improve it downwind, although they were never slow downwind they were specially good upwind. So we tried not to lose anything upwind but to make the boats slightly quicker downwind. That was the focus of our research here, I think we have achieved that but we will see on the water in a few months. But Marcelino, myself and the rest of the team put a lot of effort in to see where we could make some gains. We found some interesting new shapes to improve the downwind without compromising the upwind speed. To the trained eyes, well they will very quickly notice the difference, but to someone else they might all look similar, but they are all different. The stern is different, the bow is different and the midships sections are different, so, it is all different! You would definitely recognise a Botin hull, the bow and stern are treated differently and are different. It will have the same genes, the same pedigree but to the new rule.
Even for us it is interesting that we are managing to keep on developing new ideas even after so many years in the class.
How important is the data you have collected over the years and how does your relationships with the teams work?
We work so closely with the teams, not only Azzurra and Quantum Racing but all the (Botin) teams. It is a very straightforward relationship with all the teams, since the Emirates
Team New Zealand days and the Quantum Racing days when we were first and second, after each day of racing we receive a report from the teams how they did. We try to comment and say what we think they can do to improve as much as we can. Of course these teams are so good they need very little help, but the newer teams we try to help as much as possible, how to set the boats up and how to sail them upwind and downwind. We knew where to head with this new hull and so obviously both Quantum and Azzurra are going to be looking at this new hull with special interest, during the year and seeing what they would like to change with the hull, deck, systems. I am sure most of the teams will be looking very closely at this boat.
Where does the TP52 feature in terms of importance within your company?
The 52 and the 52 SUPER SERIES and this boat are very important to us, they have been the core business of our office for many years. Although it is a new team it is a very good team. The owner himself is very good and has been sailing for many years at a very competitive level. Although it is very hard to beat the top three teams, Azzurra, Quantum Racing and Rán, we would like this boat to be up there. It will take them a couple of events to find their feet but ideally this should be the fastest boat the in the fleet. That is what we are aiming at and it should be noticeable that the boat is a bit quicker than the other generations. We put all our resources into this boat. This boat had probably more than 10 designers working on it, or more. You would think that after so many boats before it would be an easy process for us, but it is very challenging because of the new rule and we had new ideas and wanted to try new things in every area, for example the bowsprit is longer, and it is going to weigh a bit more and all the weight forward where you don't want it. And so we have spent a month on a bowsprit! That is what we invest in each 52. All the companionway is new, the pit area is new, we are lucky we work with good project managers, in this case with Micky Costa who did the job with Azzurra and with King Marine, and so each decision Micky speaks to the team and then it goes through the yard, or through Southern Spars or North Sails or whoever it needs to be. It is a Southern rig with sails by North Argentina, a Juan Garay inventory. It is very similar to the people behind Azzurra and they are really helping the Phoenix team as they are good friends, and they know each other for many years. They sailed on the Sotos together and they will develop and two boat test together, the sails and the rig and everything. That is the way this boat is being treated, in many respects it is a continuation of the work we have done with Azzurra.
Is the appendage package, the foils, the same for the owner driver as for the pro driver or is there much of a difference?
We are lucky in having Marcus Blackmore and Jim Swartz buying boats as we get very good feedback from these owners who are amateur drivers. It is different but they very quickly learn how to use the foils to best effect. That is a decision we had to make for the Phoenix. We make the foils as fast and low drag as possible, the owners quickly pick up how the foils work and the reality is that since Quantum Racing in 2008 we do have big foils on our boats compared to our competitors, even given the professional drivers like Terry Hutchinson, Ed Baird, Dean Barker of Guillermo Parada they are ready to give up a little straight line speed for some extra grip on low speed manoeuvres like in pre-start and coming out of the tacks. In reality our foils have been quite forgiving and that is the way the owner drivers feel comfortable. Although there is a little difference between what we would give to an owner driver and the professionals, it is very small. That is part of the success of our formula, not just the new hull but a nice appendage package. It makes the boat relatively easy to set up and sail.
The 64m dollar question, how much quicker?
Every generation is quicker, at least two boat lengths to the windward mark is a nice gain from one generation to the next. That is a dream for a professional team. For an owner-driver maybe that is not enough! But after several generations there are no miracles, but that for us is a real achievement. That is enough to make the cross and extend. That is what we are up to each year.
We have between 10 and 20 designers working on our different projects. Depending on the CFD involved we can have between two and five engineers, and the same with the structures. That depends on the project. On the Beau Geste 80 footer we had six structural engineers from PURE, on the new TP52 between three and four, at least two structural guys full time, and then Marcelino and I and Paolo Periotto and then we have a flexible group of designers.
What is your outlook on the future of the class?
We have had a lot of enquiries through the year. There are several owners looking at how the events will go in 2014, but we are definitely optimistic about the 2015 circuit. Next year there will be Phoenix and the existing teams but for 2015 I hope we will see at least two or three more new owners. Agustin Zulueta, Rob Weiland and Lars Bocking and the whole team on the 52 SUPER SERIES are doing a great job in the management side and the current owners are keeping the circuit stable, so new The 52 has a great resale value and do well in IRC in ORC and they are good offshore boats so the Class has got the right formula for all sorts of events. The designs evolve and remain current and are a good investment. Owners can go to four or five in the Med but have a good boat to do offshore races too. The formula is right and people are doing their homework now and that usually means more owners coming into the circuit.

Chechnya Rounds Up Gay Men
by admin | Apr 14, 2017 | Featured, homophobia, News

The Chechan Republic, a small republic inside Russia's current borders near the Caspian Sea, is a deeply unstable region, having gone through two violent civil wars since the '91 dissolution of the Soviet Union. As a result, the area is fairly opaque to the outside world, with news emerging only erratically. Even the population of the region is unknown.
In the first week of April, reports from Russian LGBT activists put Chechnya in the public eye, recounting stories of an abrupt government round-up of gay men. According to the Russian LGBT Network, over 100 people were taken, many of them beaten violently by Chechan police. Three men were killed.
After Natalia Poplevskaya, a representative of the RLGBTN, spoke to the BBC, a statement by Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Chechan government, called her a liar. But rather than simply refuting the account, his spokesman said that it was impossible because, supposedly, there are no gay people in Chechnya.
"You can't detain and repress people who simply don't exist in the republic," said spokesman Alvi Karmov. "If there were such people in Chechnya, the law-enforcement organizations wouldn't need to have anything to do with them because their relatives would send them somewhere from which there is no returning."
That chilling statement, rather than refuting the allegation, makes them seem all the more likely. Such openly stated hate, coming directly from the leadership of Chechnya, is in keeping with the history of the republic, which has long had a problem with violence against LGBT people, particularly gay men and trans people.
The accusations are being taken seriously by the EU, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the United States, but their complaints to the Russian Government have not yet garnered a response. And if the Russians do respond in print to the matter, they will be violating their own law against distributing materials supporting "non-traditional" sexualities, which was made illegal in 2013.
