Student Activities and Organizations
There are many avenues of involvement in which students can participate at UofSC Salkehatchie. All full-time students are eligible to run for Student Government, which is the group that not only represents student interests on campus but also plans social activities and events for the campus. From costume parties to foosball tournaments to dances to cookouts, there is an activity for everyone!
In addition, there are six intercollegiate athletic teams on campus: men's baseball, women's softball, men's and women's soccer, men's basketball, and women's volleyball. With their varying seasons throughout the school year, there is always an athletic event to attend.
Students are encouraged to become involved in the Student Government Association. There are two houses of Student Government: an Allendale house and a Walterboro house. A president is elected each spring for the following year to preside over both houses jointly. Each spring, each house elects a vice president, secretary, treasurer, and parliamentarian to serve for the following year. At the beginning of each fall, senators are elected for that year for both houses. Students are encouraged to run for one of the offices or senate seats.
The Student Government Association represents the interests of the students to the administration of the University. In addition, they serve as student ambassadors for the UofSC Salkehatchie campus at local and statewide events. Another responsibility is the planning and execution of student activities for both Allendale and Walterboro. Student government decides the type of student activities and schedules and conducts them. As another responsibility, the Student Government Association participates in community service activities in the Salkehatchie area such as the March of Dimes, Relay for Life, and other community events.

Reporting Procedures-Infractions of academic discipline may be reported in writing to the chair or any member of the committee by the student committing the infraction, any student observing the infraction, or the faculty member observing the infraction.
It shall be the duty of any member to whom report of an infraction has been made to submit the same in writing to the chair of the committee as soon as possible.
Hearing Procedures:
Committee-
The Academic Affairs Committee shall conduct hearings when circumstances warrant such action and determine appropriate penalties.
The chair shall be responsible for conducting the hearing, insuring that proper records are kept, informing the accused of the decision, and reporting the decision to the dean and to the associate dean whose responsibility it shall be to insure that proper record notations are made.
The student charged with infractions will be sent written notice, by the chair, of the charges against at least seven days before the time scheduled for the hearing. This notice will include the specific charges; the time and place of the hearing; notice of rights to bring witnesses, question witnesses, and have representation, if desired; notice of the right to appeal to the dean, the president of the University and then the Board of Trustees in that order.

A notation of the circumstances under which the accused student was permitted to withdraw shall be entered in the minutes of the committee. The withdrawal of a student with or without such approval shall not deprive the committee of the power to hear charges, and in the event the student be found guilty, the committee may restrict readmission on such terms or under such circumstances as it may prescribe.
Student Responsibility-
Each student is responsible for abiding by the Code of Student Academic Responsibility at all times. In the classroom, it applies in all academic activities, whether a faculty member is involved or not.

Additional Rules-The committee shall make such additional rules as are necessary, so long as they do not contravene any of the provisions of this code, to carry out its function, with the approval of the University-wide committee.
Student Rights and Freedoms
The statement of student rights and responsibilities has been approved by the Board of Trustees of the University.
General Understanding
The statement in no way intends to abrogate the legal powers invested in the Board of Trustees under American corporate law and the laws of the State of South Carolina.
The statement is recognized as a statement of principles only and that the interpretation of these statements, principles, and procedures is a continuing joint process.
The statement is clearly understood as not giving complete autonomy to any sector of the academic community but promotes a community approach to those problems which are of proper concern to the University as a whole.
Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students and the general well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the academic community, students should be encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth. Institutional procedures for achieving these purposes may vary from campus to campus, but the minimal standards of academic freedom of students outlined below are essential to any community of scholars.
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus and in the larger community. Students should exercise their freedom with responsibility.
The responsibility to secure and to respect general conditions conducive to the freedom to learn is shared by all members of the academic community. The University has a duty to develop policies and procedures which provide and safeguard this freedom. Such policies and procedures should be developed within the framework of general standards with the broadest possible participation of the members of the academic community. The purpose of this statement is to enumerate the essential provisions for student freedom to learn.
Section I: Freedom of Access to Higher Education
The admission policies of the University are a matter of institutional choice provided that the University makes clear the characteristics and expectations of the students which it considers relevant to success in the institutional program. Under no circumstances should a student be barred from admission on the basis of race, creed, or national origin. Thus, within the limits of its facilities, the University should be open to all students who are qualified according to its admission standards.
Section II: In the Classroom
The professor in the classroom and in conference should encourage free discussion, inquiry, and expression. Student performances should be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards.
Protection of freedom of expression-Students should be free to take reasoned exceptions to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled.
Protection against improper disclosure-Information about student views, beliefs, and political associations which professors acquire in the course of their work as instructors, advisors, and counselors should be considered confidential. Protection against improper disclosure is a serious professional obligation. Judgments of ability and character may be provided under appropriate circumstances, normally with the knowledge and consent of the student.
Section III: Student Records
The University should have a carefully considered policy as to the information which should be part of a student's permanent record and as to the conditions of its disclosure. To minimize the risk of improper disclosure, academic and disciplinary records should be separate, and the conditions of access to each should be set forth in an explicit policy statement. Final transcripts or academic records should contain only information about academic status. Information from disciplinary files should not be available to unauthorized persons on campus, or to any person off campus without the express consent of the student involved except under legal compulsion or for security clearance. No permanent records should be kept which reflect the political activities or beliefs of students. Administrative staff and faculty members should respect as confidential such information which they acquire in the course of their work. Counseling files should not be available to any person without the consent of the student except under legal compulsion. Authorized counselors should not, without the consent of the student, disclose any information obtained while counseling any student unless failure to disclose the information may result in physical or emotional harm to the student or others.
Section IV: Student Affairs
In student affairs certain standards must be maintained if the academic freedom of students is to be preserved.
Student organizations-Students bring to the campus a variety of interests previously acquired and develop many new interests as members of the academic community. They should be free to organize and join associations to promote their common interests.
Affiliation with an extramural organization should not of itself disqualify recognition of a student organization.
Each organization should be free to choose its own campus advisor. Members of the faculty serve the college community when they accept the responsibility to advise and consult with student organizations; they should not have the authority to control the policy of such organizations.
Student organizations may be required to submit a statement of purpose, criteria for membership, rules of procedures, and a current list of officers. They should not be required to submit a membership list as a condition of institutional recognition other than an initial list of members on formation of an organization.
Campus organizations, including those affiliated with an extramural organization, should be open to all students without respect to race, creed, or national origin.
The membership, policies and actions of a student organization usually will be determined by vote of only those persons who hold bonafide status in the University community.
Freedom of inquiry and expression
Students and student organizations should be free to examine and to discuss all questions of interest to them and to express opinions publicly and privately. They should be free to support causes by lawful and orderly means which do not disrupt the regular and essential operation of the institution and which do not interfere with the rights of others. At the same time, it should be made clear to the academic and larger community that in their public expressions or demonstrations, students or organizations speak only for themselves.
Students should be allowed to invite and to hear any person of their own choosing subject to those routine procedures provided for off-campus speakers. These procedures should be designed only to insure that there is orderly scheduling of facilities and adequate preparation for the event, that the occasion is conducted in a manner appropriate to an academic community, and that the safety of individuals, the University, and the community are not endangered. While the University is properly concerned with the prevention of unlawful conduct, the institutional control of campus facilities should not be used as a device of censorship of ideas. It should be made clear to the academic and large community that sponsorship of guest speakers does not necessarily imply approval or endorsement of the views expressed, either by the sponsoring group or the institution.
Student participation in institutional government-As constituents of the academic community, students should be free, individually and collectively, to express their views on issues of general interest to the student body. The student body should have clearly defined means to participate in the formulation and application of institutional policy affecting academic and student affairs. The role of the student government and both its general and specific responsibilities should be made explicit, and the student government within the areas of its jurisdiction should be reviewed only through orderly and prescribed procedures. The University should provide sufficient governing freedom and sufficient financial autonomy for the student government to maintain its integrity of purpose as elected representatives of the student body.
Student publications-Student publications and the student press are a valuable aid in establishing and maintaining an atmosphere of free and responsible discussion and of intellectual exploration on the campus. They are means of bringing student concerns to the attention of the faculty and the institutional authorities and of formulating student opinions on various issues on the campus and in the world at large.
In the delegation of editorial responsibility to students the University must provide sufficient editorial freedom and sufficient financial autonomy for the student publications to maintain their integrity of purpose as vehicles for free inquiry and free expression in an academic community.
Institutional authorities, in consultation with students and faculty, have a responsibility to provide written clarification of the role of the student publications, the standards to be used in their evaluation, and the limitations on external control of their operation. At the same time, the editorial freedom of student editors and managers entails corollary responsibilities to be governed by the canons of responsible journalism, such as the avoidance of libel, indecency, undocumented allegations, attacks on personal integrity, and the techniques of harassment and innuendo. As safeguards for the editorial freedom of student publications, the following provisions are necessary:
The student press should be free of censorship and advance approval of copy, and its editors and managers should be free to develop their own editorial policies and news coverage.
Editors and managers of student publications should be protected from arbitrary suspension and removal because of student, faculty, administrative, or public disapproval of editorial policy or content. Only for proper and stated causes should editors and managers be subject to removal and then by orderly and prescribed procedures. The agency responsible for appointment of editors and managers should be the agency responsible for their removal.
All University published and financed student publications should explicitly state on the editorial page that the opinions there expressed are not necessarily those of the University or the student body.
Section V: Off-Campus Freedom of Students
University students are both citizens and members of the academic community. As citizens, students should enjoy the same freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and right of petition that other citizens enjoy, and, as members of the academic community, they are subject to the obligations which accrue to them by virtue of this membership. Faculty members and administrative officials should insure that institutional powers are not employed to inhibit such intellectual and personal development of students as is often promoted by their exercise of the rights of citizenship both on and off campus.
Activities of students may upon occasion result in violation of law. Students who violate the law may incur penalties prescribed by civil authorities, but institutional authority should never be used merely to duplicate the function of general laws. Only when the institution's interests as an academic community are distinct and clearly involved should the special authority of the institution be asserted. The student who incidentally violates institutional regulations in the course of off-campus activity, such as those relating to class attendance, should be subject to no great penalty than would normally be imposed. Institutional action should be independent of community pressure.
Section VI: Procedural Standards in Disciplinary Proceedings
Educational institutions have a duty and the corollary disciplinary powers to protect their educational purpose through the setting of standards of scholarship and conduct for the students who attend them and through the regulation of the use of institutional facilities. In developing responsible student conduct, disciplinary proceedings play a role substantially secondary to counseling, guidance and admonition. In the exceptional circumstances when these preferred means fail to resolve problems of student conduct, proper procedural safeguards should be observed the protect the student from unfair imposition of serious penalties. The following are set forth as proper safeguards in such proceedings:
Standards of conduct expected of students-The institution has an obligation to clarify those standards of behavior which it considers essential to its educational mission and its community life. These general behavioral expectations and the resultant specific regulations should represent a reasonable regulation of student conduct, but the student should be as free as possible from imposed limitations that have no direct relevance to their education. Offenses should be as clearly defined as possible and interpreted in a manner consistent with the aforementioned principles of relevancy and reasonableness. Disciplinary proceedings should be instituted only for violations of standards of conduct formulated with significant student participation and published in advance through such means as a student handbook or a generally available body of institutional regulations.
Except under circumstances where delay may create a risk of harm to property or students, premises occupied by students and the personal possessions of students should not be searched unless appropriate authorization has been obtained. For premises such as residence halls controlled by the institution, an appropriate and responsible official should be designated to whom application should be made before a search other than a routine inspection is to be conducted. During routine inspections only items in plain sight can be seized and used as evidence. Any application to search should specify the reasons for the search and the object or information sought. The official should keep an accurate record including the time, date and reason for the search. The student should be present, if possible, during the search. For premises not controlled by the institution, the ordinary requirements for lawful search should be followed.
Students detected or arrested for allegedly committing serious violations of institutional regulations, or infractions of ordinary law, should be informed of their rights. While interrogation may be conducted, no form of harassment should be used by institutional representatives to coerce admission of guilt or information about conduct of other suspected persons.
Pending action on the charges, the status of a student should not be altered, or the right to be present on the campus and to attend classes suspended except where the administration determines such action is necessary for the student's physical or emotional safety and well-being, or for the safety of students, faculty, or University property.
The formality of the procedure to which a student is entitled in disciplinary cases should be proportionate to the gravity of the offense and the sanctions which may be imposed. Matters involving minor infractions of the University regulations where suspension is not contemplated may be handled by the administration in an informal manner. Where misconduct may result in suspension, the student should have the right to a hearing before the Student Discipline Committee.
The Student Discipline Committee-
The committee should include faculty members and student members. No member of the committee who is otherwise interested in the case should sit in judgment during the proceedings.
The student should be informed, in writing, of the reasons for the proposed disciplinary action with sufficient particularity and in sufficient time, to ensure opportunity to prepare for the hearing.
The student appearing before the committee should have the right to be assisted in defense by an advisor of choice.
The burden of proof should rest upon the officials bringing the charge.
The student should be given the opportunity to testify and to present evidence and witnesses. The student should have an opportunity to hear and question adverse witnesses. In no case should the committee consider statements against the student unless the student has been advised of their content and of the names of those who made them, and unless the student has been given an opportunity to refute unfavorable inferences which might otherwise be drawn.
All matters upon which the decision may be based must be introduced into evidence at the proceeding before the committee. The decision should be based solely upon such matters. Improperly acquired evidence should not be admitted.
There should be, where possible, a verbatim record, such as a tape recording, of the hearing.
In the event that the student is disciplined other than by the regularly constituted Student Discipline Committee, the student shall have the right to a complete hearing before the committee. The decision of the committee shall be final, subject to the student's right of appeal to the president of the University and to the Board of Trustees of the University.
This chapter extends and applies the general principles of the Statement of Student Rights and Freedoms to specific actions and responsibilities of students at the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie. It accepts the proposition that "academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and the general well-being of society," and that "free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals." This chapter establishes rules, regulations, policies and disciplinary guidelines under the duty and corollary powers inherent in educational institutions to protect their educational purposes through the setting of standards of student conduct and scholarship and through the regulation of the use of University facilities.
Students have a right to expect enforcement of these rules and regulations. The University also has a right to expect students to abide by them as befits the responsibilities lodged in students as members of the University community. Knowledge of these rules and regulations can prove most beneficial to students in utilizing and protecting their guarded rights. It is important to add, however, that unfamiliarity with institutional regulations or rules is no grounds for excusing infractions.
Application of Laws
Students should be aware that educational institutions are not sanctuaries from the reach of the civil and criminal laws of the communities and states wherein such institutions exist. While the rules and regulations of the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie are not meant to duplicate general laws, there are some respects in which the lawful interests of the institution as an academic community coincide with the broader public interests treated in general laws. Students who commit offenses against the laws of municipalities, states, or the United States, are subject to prosecution by those authorities as well as liable for disciplinary action under University rules when their conduct violates institutional standards.
Students, no less than other citizens, are entitled to be secure in their persons, lodging, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. This does not prohibit normal inspections of University housing or other facilities for maintenance, health, or safety purposes. Nor does it preclude searches and seizures properly authorized by administrators in emergency situations where the welfare and safety of persons or property is involved. Approval for such procedures will be granted in strict accord with required legal standards. Searches and seizures by outside law enforcement personnel incident to investigations or arrests are conducted only under proper warrant and are not the responsibility of the University.
Students enjoy the same freedoms of speech and peaceable assembly that accrue to other citizens, but students are under certain legal obligations in the exercise of these freedoms by virtue of their membership in the University community. Expression may be subjected to reasonable regulations of time, place, number of persons, and form under established regulations. Expression in the form of action which materially interferes with the normal activities of the rights of free speech and assembly and will invoke appropriate legal and disciplinary sanctions when necessary in pursuit of this goal.
Students who are apprehended and charged by law enforcement agencies with criminal conduct on or off campus may not continue as students without approval by the Academic Affairs Committee or in certain cases, approval by the dean. Students under such charges are required to keep the University informed of their trial status.
General Conduct Regulations
Responsibility for good conduct rests with students as individuals. All members of the academic community are expected to use reasonable judgment in their daily campus life and to show due concern for the welfare and rights of others. When breaches of good conduct occur, they are considered jointly by students, faculty, and administrators on the Student Discipline Committee. Responsibility for maintaining discipline is vested in the dean; under him, administration of the system for handling misconduct is the duty of the associate dean for student services.
Conduct Rules
The following statements constitute the official record of all general conduct rules and regulations at the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie. Students are expected to abide by these rules and administrators are required to enforce them. (Note: Additional rules and regulations may be promulgated during the year; when this happens, announcements will be made upon adoption of the changes or additions.)
Acts of vandalism such as damage to or destruction of property owned or controlled by the University or its members is prohibited.
Firearms and Other Deadly Weapons
The unauthorized possession or use, in any way, of firearms or weapons of any kind, such as dirks, slingshots, metal knuckles, razors, or any other deadly weapons, is prohibited.
Flammable Materials and Fireworks
The possession, ignition or detonation of any object or article which could cause damage by fire or other means to person or property, or possession of any substance which could be considered fireworks, is prohibited on any property owned or operated by the University.
No person shall start a fire or be in any way responsible for starting a fire on University property without authorization.
False Fire Alarms and Misuse of Fire Equipment
No person shall make, or cause to be made, a false fire alarm. No person shall tamper with fire safety equipment.
Theft or Misappropriation
Theft of any kind, including seizing, receiving or concealing property with knowledge that it has been stolen, is forbidden. Sale or possession of any property, including USC Salkehatchie property, without owner's permission is also prohibited.
Individual or group behavior which unnecessarily disturbs individuals or groups is prohibited. Such conduct includes (but is not necessarily limited to) physical assault or threat of assault, hazing, and boisterous conduct which is unreasonable for the area in which it occurs.
Sale of Textbooks
The sale by any student of a textbook that does not belong to them is prohibited unless they have prior written authorization from the owner of the book. (Books which are found should be turned in to the Lost and Found department in the Dean's Office.)
Forgery and the alteration or misuse of University documents or records are forbidden.
No one may use or have in their possession any University key without proper authorization. No student is allowed under any conditions to have a University key duplicated.
Misuse of Telephone
No student shall abuse telephone privileges.
Disruption of Normal Activity
No one may interfere with or disrupt the normal activity and operations of students, faculty, administrations or staff of this institution or its buildings or facilities. Any form of expression which materially interferes with such activities and operations or invades the rights of persons may be proscribed or prohibited.
Note: To remain in the vicinity of activity which threatens to disrupt or is disrupting normal University functions may have serious legal and disciplinary implications. Bystanders as well as more active participants may be charged with jointly engaging in an enterprise which is prohibited by law. Students should accordingly avoid the scene of any disruption or potential disruption. In any case, failure to leave when asked to disperse by University or law enforcement officials will result in disciplinary and/or legal action.
Note: In any case where students or employees of the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie are involved in action which is disruptive of the normal activities of the institution or its personnel, or which exceeds the bounds of normal internal discipline in its impact, the Board of Trustees may exercise its right to name a special hearing board, committee, or officer to investigate the questioned action and to initiate appropriate disciplinary or other measures.
Possession, except on a physician's or dentist's prescription, of stimulant, depressant, narcotic, or hallucinogenic drugs and other agents having potential for abuse violates University rules and is prohibited. The selling, bartering, exchanging, and giving away of such drugs to any person not intended to possess them is also prohibited.
Note: The University always stands ready to do everything within its power to help any students who want help in breaking an involvement with drugs. See also the University policy below.
It is the policy of this campus of the University of South Carolina that alcohol (beer, wine, distilled spirits) will not be included in any student activity, i.e., club events, student government activities, or athletics and field events, whether on or off the immediate campus.
Beer or wine or distilled spirits may not be carried in a state vehicle.
Special events that relate to the greater community such as luncheons, support gatherings, theater events, shall be exempt from the above listed policies upon the approval of the dean of the campus. However, monitoring of those attending who drink must be assured to make sure all South Carolina state laws are followed. No one under the age of 21 shall be served alcohol at any event.
For special events, those beverages included may not be sold; however, a "contribution" may be taken at the point of delivery.
Carolinian Creed
The community of scholars at the University of South Carolina is dedicated to personal and academic excellence.
Choosing to join the community obligates each member to a code of civilized behavior.
As a Carolinian…
I will practice personal and academic integrity;
I will respect the dignity of all persons;
I will respect the rights and property of others;
I will discourage bigotry, while striving to learn from differences in people, ideas and opinions;
I will demonstrate concern for others, their feelings, and their need for conditions which support their work and development.
Allegiance to these ideals requires each Carolinian to refrain from and discourage behaviors which threaten the freedom and respect every individual deserves.
University Smoking Policy
The University of South Carolina is deeply committed to the well-being of our students, faculty, staff and visitors. To provide a safe, healthy environment in which our community can flourish, and in accordance with the university's commitment to public health and sustainability, the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie will be a completely tobacco-free campus. This policy expands the tobacco-free policy to cover all university property. The intent of this policy is to create an environment that is conducive to quitting tobacco, promoting the prevention of tobacco use and preventing the risks associated with exposure to secondhand smoke. This will be a cultural change within the university campus and will be supported by ongoing communications and cessation programs for those who desire to quit or abstain from tobacco.

University Drug Policy
The relationship of a university to its students is one which has as one of its basic purposes the creation of an environment conducive to the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge. A portion of this relationship involves the interaction between the student's personal welfare and academic achievement. Since there are numerous means by which the use and abuse of drugs may adversely affect this relationship, it is incumbent upon the University to issue to all members of its community a clear statement of its policy concerning drugs.
The University's primary obligation in dealing with the drug problem is to educate the academic community. A full and comprehensive educational program should be offered including formal and informal courses, lectures and discussions which cover drugs and drug problems. It is considered most important that students also receive up-to-date and accurate information about drug laws and medical findings. The University should also conduct research and offer its expertise as a public service in drug matters.
Another responsibility is to promote an atmosphere where students who have a problem with drug abuse can feel free to seek help. Students must feel that they can obtain help without fear of legal reprisal and in order to accomplish this, the University will consider situations where a student initiates the contact as completely confidential. In accordance with state law, students may now receive counseling and advice, legally sanctioned as confidential, from the Counseling Office.
The University must maintain its primary function as a center of learning. At the same time, it must be clear that local, state, and federal laws apply equally on campus as well as off campus.
The University of South Carolina is committed to a policy of treating all members of the University community fairly in regard to their personal and professional concerns. In order to ensure that students know what to do when they need to resolve a problem, this procedure is provided.
The primary objective of the student grievance procedure is to ensure that concerns are promptly dealt with and resolutions reached in a fair and just manner. It is essential that each student be given an adequate opportunity to bring complaints and problems to the attention of the University administration with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment.
A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student thinks that any condition affecting him or her is unjust, inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to the following: mistreatment by any University employee; wrongful assessment of processing of fees, records, and registration errors; racial discrimination in student employment.
Initiating a Grievance-
The initial phase of the student grievance generally requires an oral discussion between the student and the person(s) alleged to have caused the grievance.
If the student considers the response to that discussion to be unsatisfactory and feels the grievance still exists, written notification of the grievance shall be delivered to the chair of the Academic Affairs Committee. The Academic Affairs Committee facilitates better student-faculty communications on the Salkehatchie campus by listening to student and faculty grievances. Hearing may be requested by students and faculty. A written report is submitted to the dean recommending what action, if any, should be taken.

Q: Dotnetzip, Event Handler not Fired after Save I have a small problem, which might me a stupid mistake on my side.
Here is my code to create a zipfile when needed and the method to add a file to the archive.
Adding a file works without problem but for some reason the Event is not fired after saving.
I set a breakpoint at zipFile_SaveProgress, the event is not fired.

class CoverArchive
{
        private ZipFile zipFile;
        private String coverArchivePath;

        public CoverArchive()
        {
            coverArchivePath = "Archive\\Covers";

            if (!File.Exists("Archive\\Covers"))
            {
                CreateZipFile();
            }
            using (zipFile = ZipFile.Read(coverArchivePath))
            {
                //zipFile.AddProgress += zipFile_AddProgress;
                //zipFile.ExtractProgress += zipFile_ExtractProgress;
                //zipFile.ZipError += zipFile_ZipError;
                zipFile.SaveProgress += zipFile_SaveProgress;
            }
        }

        private void CreateZipFile()
        {
            zipFile = new ZipFile();
            zipFile.CompressionLevel = Ionic.Zlib.CompressionLevel.BestCompression;
            zipFile.UseUnicodeAsNecessary = true;
            if (!Directory.Exists("Archive"))
                Directory.CreateDirectory("Archive");
            zipFile.Save(coverArchivePath);
        }

        public void AddCover(List<String> directories, String coverName, Stream fileStream)
        {
            try
            {
                using (zipFile = ZipFile.Read(coverArchivePath))
                {
                    String filePath = createPath(directories, coverName);
                    ZipEntry entry = zipFile.AddEntry(filePath, fileStream);
                    zipFile.Save();
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error adding File" + ex);
            }
        }
        private void zipFile_SaveProgress(Object sender, SaveProgressEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.EventType == ZipProgressEventType.Saving_Completed)
                Console.WriteLine("Save Done");
        }
}

Thanks a lot in advance :)

A: You're adding the event handling after calling Save().
Therefore, when it raised the SaveProgress event, there weren't any handlers.

One dead after small plane crashes in neighborhood south of downtown Indianapolis.
by Sarah Nelson – Indianapolis Star
One person has died in small plane crash south of downtown Indianapolis.
The plane crash, which happened about 3:45 p.m. Tuesday along railroad tracks the 4100 block of Weaver Avenue, is in a residential area near the University of Indianapolis, according to a tweet from Indianapolis Metropolitan Police.
Sgt. Genae Cook said the person inside the plane, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Many details about the crash, including where the plane originated, or what led up to the landing, remained unclear in the hours after. Indianapolis police said those answers will come to light after officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board launch an investigation.
Cook said the railroad is likely to remain closed well into Tuesday night. Residents are asked to avoid the area of Weaver and Edwards avenues as investigators continue to collect evidence.

Natti Natasha has hit the ground running since the release of "Me Gusta" over this past weekend. Released via Pina Records with a unique Sunday release date, we are still spinning from the quick take-off surrounding "Me Gusta." The music video has already been released on the artist's YouTube page and has earned upwards of 10 million views since Tuesday! The Dominican star keeps getting bigger with each and every track and this sensual release is just the beginning. Listen along and watch the futuristic video that is certainly next level, below.
Following the very vibey release of "Drifting" Maverick Sabre returns with a second single "Her Grace" featuring Chronixx. The song is uplifting with jazzy-blues instrumentation merged with modern beats while keeping the smooth feel that signifies the FAMM artist. MAV describes the track stating "'Her Grace" is a song about untold stories and struggles women go through as we look on, or look past them in society. " A friend and previous tour partner of Jorja Smith, you can expect big things from Maverick Sabre come 2019. In the meantime, enjoy "Her Grace," here and below.
They say love is hard. And sometimes it feels like it's even harder when the days and nights are colder. Luke Sital-Singh's (Raygun Records) stunning, heart-wrenching single "Love is Hard Enough Without the Winter" will pull at those heart strings even more. Whether he's singing about a long distance relationship, a recent breakup, the everyday effort put into building and strengthening a relationship, or a separation from a loved one, Luke's lyrics, voice, and guitar will make you longing for what's next. As Clash said it best, "A frosted antidote to saccharine Christmas anthems, [Love Is Hard Enough Without the Winter] is a tender portrayal of love and its complications." Expect more music from Luke — following a recent move from a cold London to sunny Los Angeles. So at least his winter is a bit warmer this time around.
Keep listening and have a music-filled weekend.

Patrick Topping talks his new mix series with Hot Creations 'Paradise on Earth'
fourfour May 10, 2017 Interviews
Patrick Topping released his stand-out track 'Forget' back in 2014 on the Hot Creations imprint, igniting his career. Playing a key part to the Hot Creations brand since, he's travelled all around the world, played at some of the biggest festivals & kept his productions as consistent as they were since 2014. Known for his signature rolling basslines & glitchy percussion elements, he takes on a new mix series with Nathan Barato entitled 'Paradise On Earth', showcasing some new unreleased music tied in with current tracks that stand out to him.
We caught up for a chat with Patrick based around the series, check it out below.
Q: Tell us about the idea of the mix series?
A: The brief was really very open, we were each asked to compile a mix for the first edition of a new DJ mix series Hot Creations were starting. During the process the name of the series changed to Paradise On Earth, but this didn't really affect the sound of the mix for me, as I see the Paradise and Hot Creations sounds as nearly interchangeable. I just wanted to make something that was reflective of my peak time DJ sets, while keeping it more on the House side of what I play, because it was for home listening.
It was also my first time putting together a CD mix like this, and it's been such an exciting project. It's been a bit harder than say putting together a mix for radio show or a podcast etc, as each track has to be licensed from the label it came out on. Sometimes these don't get approved which can alter the whole approach and direction of the mix. There are also additional time constraints to consider but it was a fun challenge to put together. To make something that works with a limited tracklist, including just the approved ones, as usually I can keep adding tracks whenever I like and include whatever track I want at any point in the process of putting a mix together. This is not something I've ever really thought about or considered in the past when I listened to DJ mixes, such as the Fabric series for example. So it's given me an even greater appreciation of the art of the official DJ Mix.
Q: Whats your relationship with Nathan? Have you ever worked together prior to this series?
A: Nathan's such a nice bloke and we get on really well, but this was our first time doing a project together and to be honest we didn't discuss what either of us were doing with our disks! We are quite similar artists though, and the label picked us both separately, so I suppose we both just knew the disks would end up fitting together. Prior to this we had only hung out a few times but we had done one B2B in Ibiza before.
Q: You've mentioned there are 3 unreleased originals from yourself. Are these track specifically made for the mix?
A: They weren't made especially for the mix, but as soon as I got asked to create the mix I knew I hoped to include them, so the mix was kind of built around them. Obviously I wasn't just going to shoehorn them into the mix, but luckily I feel they complement the mix nicely and fit."Wouldn't Dare" was made in 2015 and "Tease Magnet" and" Metro" were both made in February of this year.
Q: Being deeply ingrained with one of the leading labels in electronic music with Hot Creations must be such an honour. How has it been for you since joining up with the brand?
A: It really has been the perfect platform to release my music. Not everything I've put out has been with Hot Creations or Hot Trax/ Emerald City, but the majority of it has been. The label is also my favourite label and I'm so happy and honoured to have been able to be such a part of it's output. Hopefully this can continue, I just need to make some more music now!

My divorce became final just this last week. I left my ex after 12 years together. The first year he pursued for reconciliation. The second has been focused on acceptance and understanding.We have both moved on positively.. We have two children 8 and 5 years old. My ex and I have an excellent friendship and parenting objective. We actively stay in communication about the kids and help each other out if needed. I have a wonderful Fiance and a daughter who is now 1 year old. We actively go to family counseling to insure and help with blending issue. This has been extremely positive for our family. My Fiance is very supportive and has even commented on how well my ex and I work together.
With the divorce, my ex and I said that we did not want to play the role of the "normal" divorce parents. We were willing to communicate, open door policy, with regard to the kids emotional well being. We have done excellent. We share the trouble and the happiness and I have felt that our friendship has helped the kids adjust to the change. We have explained to them that Daddy and I are friends and will always do what we need to do together to be there for them.
This was an exceptional situation. Any counselor, friend or family member has gone out of there way to say that the relationship we have maintained is the best support for the kids and if it works well than we are the luckiest people to have found it.
My kids are with me M-F and go every weekend F (night) to Sunday afternoon to their father. We have over the last two years of separation brought a philosophy forward that the kids stay as in touch with Daddy as much as possible so they can share what's happened in the day with them and this allows him to stay connected to them. The same goes for me during the weekend. This makes them feel they are not without him/me or that we are too far from their everyday happenings in their life. Each morning we call on our way to school to say good morning, at bedtime they call to say goodnight and sometimes through the day if something special has happened at school they call to tell him. This has been an established pattern that has worked well on both sides. I welcome them to call Daddy anytime they are with me and he does the same. We both are not bothered by the call, but support it.
My ex recently has become involved with a woman at work who is going through divorce and has now become his girlfriend. We have actively tried to work together to help the kids transition into this so they feel no "pull" or sadness with this new member of the family. This lady is someone he is planning a future with. She is 32, been married for 14 years and has no children. She is adjusting to the change in family lifestyle with kids involved. She gets put off very easily if he is having a conversation with me on the phone and has said that his relationship with between him and me is not OK. We are both moving forward and do not hold any feelings of future reconcilement and he has told her so. There have been some major bumps in this transition phase. She is going through an "emotional crisis" with her divorce and needs to feel a secure devotion from my ex for security purposes. She has caused some problems where the kids are concerned. There have been a few events in which he has either committed time to her or the children and has had to let one of them down. He is trying to be more structured and learn from the past and schedule things so that these conflicts do not arise.
Recently she has suggested "that the frequency in calls from the children and the schedule calls for good morning and goodnight are possibly not good for the children". My ex wrote to inquire about what she questioned as something "abnormal and never been seen before" in regard to the calls. I think she is feeling displaced and do not want to promote any anxiety in the situation but I am fearful that this suggestion of limiting their contact to him is a dangerous suggestion. He listened to her suggestion and wrote to a counselor on the web. The counselor wrote back saying the schedule of calls is "abnormal or uncommon." I need help here to understand how something positive that has arisen out of a negative situation (Divorce) is something to consider as abnormal. We are not cut from the mainstream thinking of most divorced couples. We have always had different ideas on family, children and friendship. I'm not saying that my kids didn't experience the sadness, confusion and anger that results from a divorce, but I am saying that our kids have two parents that love them, are willing to work together to help the other parent stay involved with the kids and are more concerned about the effects of the divorce than on the normal way that has been recently suggested i.e calls should be limited when time is being spent with the other parent.
I am scared that this "abnormal" behavior that was tagged by a counselor on the web might cause some major problems for the children..I am also scared that I could be wrong and in fact possibly hurting the children. It feels awful inside to think of telling my children that they can't call their dad knowing that the calls are happily received on his side when the girlfriend is not around. I am in full understanding that her additional problems with his relationship to me is threatening to her and we have come to some agreements about limiting our conversations when she is there. My thoughts are that security in their relationship will only come from within her knowing and believing that he is committed to her and that contact with me should not be an insecurity. I want my children to have a positive relationship with her. This is what is best for them. Her suggestion of limiting, stopping calls from two small hearts and minds that miss their daddy is so upsetting to me. Considering, she has no children, does not understand the commitment to them and is willing to try to change something that works well for them doesn't sound positive.
If I am told that this "abnormal" behavior can negatively affect the children I will consider this and do more research to find the best solution for the children. I am open to listening and change if there is possible negative results from the staying in touch. I am looking to get advice from a neutral party.
Barn mår bra av att ha rätt att ringa sina föräldrar när de själva vill och behöver. Det är en trygghet för dem. Det är din mans nya flickvän som inte mår bra av telefonsamtalen. Hennes första prioritering kommer inte att vara att dina barn ska ha det bra utan att hon själv får en så stark position som möjligt i förhållandet till din f.d. man. Hon kommer att se till sina egna intressen eftersom hon är osäker och hon kan känna sig svartsjuk på både dig och barnen.
Nu kommer en ny fas i er skilsmässa: Maktkampen mellan dig och din f.d. mans nya flickvän och maktkampen mellan henne och barnen om din mans gunst och stöd. Hur den utfaller beror på hur förhållandet är mellan din f.d. man och henne. Den som är starkast kan sätta dagordningen. Om din man är djupt förälskad i henne har han svårare att sätta gränser och kommer att se till hennes behov snarare än till barnens. Kvinnor kan ha effektiva maktmedel gentemot män.
Du är oroad därför att din f.d. mans nya flickvän inte ser saker och ting som du önskar att hon gjorde. Hon kan å andra sidan se dig som ett hot och ett problem. Hon kanske vill ha egna barn. Hon vill kanske inte att dina barn ska få ärva din man på hennes bekostnad. Hon vill helst inte ha dem hos sig utan vill vara ensam med mannen. Hon vill säkert inte alls att du och han ska ha en nära och förtrolig vänskap. Det kommer att vara jobbigt för henne varje gång du och han behöver tala om barnen. Om barnen ringer till honom när de vill, kommer hon att känna att hon när som helst kan bli störd och aldrig får vara ifred med sin älskade. Hon vill vara nummer ett hos honom. Dig och barnen skulle hon trolla bort om hon kunde. Hon har inte valt honom för att få umgås med dina barn. Hon har valt honom trots dina barn.
Vad kan du göra? Du behöver acceptera att maktförhållandena är förändrade och att dina barns väl kanske inte har högsta prioritet längre. I denna nya situation behöver du vara klok och vuxen. Den nya kvinnan skulle kanske känna sig mindre hotad och utanför om du i första hand talade med henne och inte med mannen. Det är säkert ändå hon som står i bakgrunden och regisserar. Då får hon mera kontroll som hon behöver för att känna sig trygg. Vid sådana samtal behöver du vara stödjande och förstående, inte kritisk och anklagande.
Skulle det vara möjligt för din man att ringa till barnen på stunder när den nya kvinnan inte blir störd av telefonsamtalen? Vore det möjligt att barnen ringer dig när hon är upptagen med något annat som att duscha eller shoppa? Kanske blir hon inte lika störd av samtalen om hon inte direkt konfronteras med dem.
Att leva i styvfamilj kan vara plågsamt för alla inblandade och kräver en mognad som inte alla har. Det går inte att lösa problemen bara genom att ta reda på vad som är objektivt bäst för barnen. De kan bara lösas om man ser till alla parters intressen och behov, även din mans nya flickvän. Det kan vara bättre för barnen att hon känner sig trygg. Olösta konflikter med henne kan vara till skada för alla, även barnen.
Let your husband move on in his relationship and explain to your kids that their dad needs some time to "bond" with this person. Maybe your communication should only be through his girlfriend. Give her the respect to be included. You already rejected him, now let him go. Tough on the kids, but that was your decision.

An Encyclopedia of Shamanism Volume 2
Social Science / By Christina Pratt / 2007-08-01
Author: Christina Pratt
Publisher: The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc
Category: Social Science
Shamanism can be defined as the practice of initiated shamans who are distinguished by their mastery of a range of altered states of consciousness. Shamanism arises from the actions the shaman takes in non-ordinary reality and the results of those actions in ordinary reality. It is not a religion, yet it demands spiritual discipline and personal sacrifice from the mature shaman who seeks the highest stages of mystical development.
Curanderismo Soul Retrieval
Body, Mind & Spirit / By Erika Buenaflor / 2019-05-28
Author: Erika Buenaflor
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
Category: Body, Mind & Spirit
A step-by-step shamanic guide to navigating the non-ordinary realms, locating lost soul fragments, and reintegrating them • Explains how the soul is a form of sacred energy that can escape when someone experiences trauma or stressful situations • Explores how to work with the 5 Mesoamerican cardinal directions to connect with lost soul fragments, create the ideal space for them to return, and ensure a lasting soul retrieval • Details how to enter a trance journey for navigating the spirit realm through shamanic breathwork, shamanic dancing, toning methods, as well as hand postures Drawing on her more than 20 years' experience working with present-day Mesoamerican curanderos/as and the ancient shamanic healing traditions of the Mexica and Maya, Erika Buenaflor, M.A., J.D., provides a step-by-step guide for the curanderismo practice of soul retrieval. She explains how the soul is a form of sacred energy that can escape when someone experiences trauma or is threatened by challenging and stressful situations. Its absence can be responsible for a host of negative conditions including physical ailments, depression, insomnia, and dysfunctional behavior patterns. Exploring how to retrieve this sacred energy, or soul fragments, as well as resolve cases of soul theft, the author details how to journey through the non-ordinary realms of the Underworld, Middleworld, and Upperworld to locate lost soul fragments and reintegrate them. She explains how to enter a trance journey, providing instructions for shamanic breathwork practices, shamanic dancing, sounding and toning methods, as well as hand postures (mudras) to facilitate trance states. She explores how to perform soul diagnosis, create a loving and nurturing space for soul fragments to return, and work with the healing wisdom of the 5 Mesoamerican cardinal directions: South, West, North, East, and the Center, which marries the other directions and offers a portal to other worlds. She offers pressure point exercises to release the energies of traumas and contemplative exercises to continue the reintegration of soul fragments after the trance journey. She also explains how to connect with animal guardians to aid you in the soul retrieval process. Revealing how to achieve a lasting retrieval of soul energy, Buenaflor shows how the dynamic process of curanderismo soul retrieval can heal many forms and degrees of trauma and help people move forward in life with more clarity, self-awareness, empowerment, and greater depths of authentic self-love.

From the Fat of Our Souls
Social Science / By Libbet Crandon-Malamud / 1991-04-09
Author: Libbet Crandon-Malamud
Publisher: Univ of California Press
From the Fat of Our Souls offers a revealing new perspective on medicine, and the reasons for choosing or combining indigenous and cosmopolitan medical systems, in the Andean highlands. Closely observing the dialogue that surrounds medicine and medical care among Indians and Mestizos, Catholics and Protestants, peasants and professionals in the rural town of Kachitu, Libbet Crandon-Malamud finds that medical choice is based not on medical efficacy but on political concerns. Through the primary resource of medicine, people have access to secondary resources, the principal one being social mobility. This investigation of medical pluralism is also a history of class formation and the fluidity of both medical theory and social identity in highland Bolivia, and it is told through the often heartrending, often hilarious stories of the people who live there.
Psychology and the Soul
Psychology / By Otto Rank / 1998
Author: Otto Rank
Publisher: JHU Press
In his last years, Otto Rank turned his lifetime of thought and learning toward two of the most difficult topics in human history: religion and the soul. The result was this now-classic work, available in this new, very accessible English translation. Unlike many other intellectuals of the twentieth century, Rank maintains a place for the soul rather than dismissing it as a fantasy. The soul and the beliefs about it, he argues, set forth the foundation for psychology, with its complex analyses of consciousness, self-consciousness, and personality. Rank's commentary is not limited to beliefs about individual souls but includes ideas about group souls, sometimes encompassing nations or generations. Rank suggests that it is in expression of group beliefs that the idea of the soul attains its greatest power.
The Soul Thief

So craftily construcyed that to appreciate how liberally Baxter plants creepy hints of what's to come a reader should really savor this book twice." —The Washington Post As a graduate student in upstate New York, Nathaniel Mason is drawn into a tangle of relationships with people who seem to hover just beyond his grasp. There's Theresa, alluring but elusive, and Jamie, who is fickle if not wholly unavailable. But Jerome Coolberg is the most mysterious and compelling. Not only cryptic about himself, he seems also to have appropriated parts of Nathaniel's past that Nathaniel cannot remember having told him about.

They were one soul in two bodies, Corban and Mav, twins born to the lord of a Irish coastal farmstead. Mav had the second sight and was her father's delight; Corban, though, was a deep disappointment, finally exiled for refusing his father's command to go and take up a sword for the High King. But on the night of Corban's exile, as he slept in the woods and brooded on injustice, the dreadful dragon ships of the Vikings bore down on his home with fire and the sword. The farm was plundered and burned; all the people were slain, save the young women--they were raped and dragged off to a life of slavery. From the coast of Ireland to the occupied village of Dublin, across the Irish Sea to a Viking stronghold in Britain, and then across the North Sea to the Kingdom of the Danes. Corban is drawn in the track of his ravaged sister, fighting for his own life and to earn the influence and money he will need to buy her freedom. His quest is not hopeless, for Mav's second sight, made stronger by the dreadful fate that has befallen her, has brought her to the attention of the Lady of Hedeby. The Lady, wealthy and influential in the Kingdom of the Danes, has bought Mav; she intends to use the twins , and their link with each other, to extend that influence far beyond Hedeby.

Author: Violet Harrington Bryan
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
Erna Brodber and Velma Pollard, two sister-writers born and raised in Jamaica, re-create imagined and lived homelands in their literature by commemorating the history, culture, and religion of the Caribbean. Velma Pollard was born in St. Catherine, Jamaica. By the time she was three, her parents had moved to Woodside, St. Mary, in northeast Jamaica, where her sister, Erna, was born. Even though they both travel widely and often, the sisters both still live in Jamaica. The sisters write about their homeland as a series of memories and stories in their many works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. They center on their home village of Woodside in St. Mary Parish, Jamaica, occasionally moving the settings of their fiction and poetry to other regions of Jamaica and various Caribbean islands, as well as other parts of the diaspora in the United States, Canada, and England. The role of women in the patriarchal society of Jamaica and much of the Caribbean is also a subject of the sisters' writing. Growing up in what Brodber calls the kumbla, the protective but restrictive environment of many women in the Anglo-Caribbean, is an important theme in their fiction. In her fiction, Pollard discusses the gender gaps in employment and the demands of marriage and the special contributions of women to family and community. Many scholars have also explored the significance of spirit in Brodber's work, including the topics of "spirit theft," "spirit possession," and spirits existing through time, from Africa to the present. Brodber's narratives also show communication between the living and the dead, from Jane and Louisa (1980) to Nothing's Mat (2014). Yet, few scholars have examined Brodber's work on par with her sister's writing. Drawing upon interviews with the authors, this is the first book to give Brodber and Pollard their due and study the sisters' important contributions.

It's not every day that an Angel of God sneaks into Hell to steal a soul... My name is so old that the sands of time have scraped its memory. I was a powerful Guardian once. The proud leader of my kin. But my weakness compelled me to the World. And in the World, I met the most peculiar creatures, beings so extraordinary they defied the bounds of our Lord's Creation. Vampires, I soon discovered, were the vilest kind. For it was a vampire who seduced me into sealing an unbreakable vow. And because of that vow, I committed the darkest sin: stealing a soul from Hell. I am Drahoslav, the Soul Thief. The Almighty's wrath has stripped me of my wings. I am determined to get them back. There's just one thing I failed to consider as I devised my plan... Falling in love. ◆ Excerpt: "It's not every day that an Angel of God sneaks into Hell to steal a soul. It's a once-in-a-lifetime feat too, for invariably when that precious soul is missed, punishment follows. There was no previous summoning, no warning of what would follow. I simply opened my eyes one night and found myself in a dungeon. The pain came later; searing on my back, scorching my skin down to the bone. I hugged my knees close to my chest and in the darkness, I screamed." © Silvana G. Sánchez 2021 The Soul Thief is the sequel to Vesely Academy: Academy of Extraordinary Creatures.

GPS devices turn tiny country intersection into high-risk crash zone
By Erin Pearson
March 25, 2019 — 3.56pm
GPS devices have turned a tiny rural intersection on the way to the Great Ocean Road into a high-risk crash zone.
A crash on the Australia Day long weekend left a man with spinal injuries after two cars collided at the intersection of Birregurra-Forrest and Colac-Lorne roads in rural Victoria.

It followed a horror spate in December 2017 that left one man dead and saw 12 people airlifted to hospital suffering serious or critical injuries.
On Monday Chinese national Yadong Pan, 28, was jailed for at least two years after admitting he careered through a stop sign at close to 100km/h and struck another car, killing Geelong driver George Hullo on Boxing Day that year.
During Pan's sentencing, the County Court was told all the offending drivers at the now notorious Birregurra junction that year were using GPS devices when they failed to stop.
In a 30-minute period on Thursday, The Age witnessed 12 of the 26 passing cars fail to halt at the intersection's stop sign. As seen in the video below, two tourist buses were among the offenders.
The Transport Accident Commission warns that GPS devices are proving a distraction hazard for motorists and urged those unfamiliar with rural roads to stick to the main highways.
"Even if your sat nav tells you to go on a back road, for your own safety stick to the bigger motorways," lead road safety director Samantha Cockfield said.
"We really do suggest using the highest priority roads, freeways and motorways which are designed for long distance, high speed driving. Small country roads aren't.
"They may still be up to 100km/h but designed for five to 10 kilometre stretches to get you onto the main roads."

Barwon Downs CFA captain Gavin Brien has lived metres from the Birregurra crossing for most of his life and said he fears for the safety of his friends and family who need to regularly travel through the intersection.
"I know friends who tell their workers to avoid the intersection at all costs and instead take much longer routes," Mr Brien said.
"I've grown up on this road. When I was a kid we'd ride our push bikes up to the main house and didn't even think about it.
"I'd never let my kids do that now. The amount of traffic is massive."
Real-time navigational aids such as Google Maps typically direct drivers down the quickest route at that time of the day, meaning they take cars off major arterial roads designed for heavy traffic.
Polwarth MP Richard Riordan said he'd been "banging on" about his fears for the safety of local drivers for two years.
He said the trip to the Great Ocean Road was becoming dangerous due to tourist drivers unfamiliar with the area often being sent south off the Princes Highway.
"In our area we're talking in excess of 20 per cent of crashes recorded when ambulances are called involve foreign tourists. The state's average is 2 per cent," Mr Riordan said.
"Every single policeman in my patch that takes in Lorne, Apollo Bay, Anglesea to Timboon complains about the cohort of hire cars and their drivers.
"It's out of control."
A roundabout is scheduled to be installed at the Birregurra intersection in coming months after a VicRoads review.

Oregon Guardianships and Conservatorships
In Oregon, Guardianships and Conservatorships refer to different types of authority:
A guardianship gives authority over physical well-being
A conservatorship gives authority over finances and assets
"Our adult son is disabled. How do we manage his affairs?"
A guardianship is a method of obtaining legal custody or decision-making authority over another person's health and well-being. People use guardianships for different reasons. A guardian has authority to make medical decisions and housing decisions, including placing a loved one in a medical facility, when that person can no longer make those decisions in their best interest or does not have the legal capacity to do so.
If a person has not used estate planning tools to name a medical or financial decision maker, and is no longer able to sign legal documents, then only the court can create that authority. A Power of Attorney document may not provide enough authority in situations where a minor or adult needs assistance with daily care and activities. This document also does not terminate a person's ability to act for themselves, so any troubling or threatening actions may continue. Be cautious in using free, online forms for trusts, powers of attorney, and other estate planning documents. Even estate planning software may not cover the issues specific to Oregon or to your circumstances. And if a person's capacity to sign those legal documents is in question, your authority to act could later be questioned exposing you to potential liability. If you aren't sure whether your loved one has sufficient capacity to sign legal documents, it is better to involve an attorney to make that determination and prepare the legal documents if appropriate.
When no Power of Attorney exists, or unanticipated circumstances arise, Collier Law is experienced in all aspects of guardianship proceedings, including:
Representing people seeking guardianship of a person who can no longer manage their own health and medical affairs.
Representing people who seek guardianship of a disabled, adult child, who cannot effectively manage their own medical affairs without additional support.
Representing people who seek guardianship of a child after they have lost all living parents.
Representing guardians after appointment by the court and assisting them with fulfilling their legal obligations.
"My dad is having trouble paying his bills. Sometimes he pays them more than once, and other times he doesn't pay them at all. How can I help him manage his finances?"
A conservator is appointed by the court to handle legal and financial decisions. The conservator has full authority over an incapacitated person's finances and property. A conservator may be appointed for an adult if evidence shows that the individual lacks the capacity to manage their own financial resources. A conservator may also be appointed to manage funds for a minor child. Any interested person can petition the court and request authority to take control of a person's finances if that interested person presents enough evidence of incapacity and no other interested individual objects to the conservatorship. The conservator may not be the person that the incapacitated individual would have chosen if that person were capable of choosing, and the potentially incapacitated individual has the opportunity to object to the appointment.
Once appointed by the court, the conservator is empowered to take possession of the incapacitated individual's expenses and assets, and is closely monitored by the court. The court requires detailed annual reports. The conservator's attorney provides legal advice on what is allowed and not allowed in managing the protected person's finances.
The incapacitated person loses all control of their property and assets. Only the conservator has authority to access bank accounts, transfer funds, or write checks. On certain occasions, a protected person may still be competent to write a will, or change beneficiaries of retirement accounts, life insurance policies, and annuity policies.
When no Power of Attorney exists, or unanticipated circumstances arise, Collier Law is experienced in all aspects of conservatorship proceedings, including:
Representing people seeking conservatorship of a person who can no longer manage their own assets and financial affairs.
Representing people who seek conservatorship of a disabled, adult child, who cannot effectively manage their own assets or financial affairs without additional support.
Representing people who seek conservatorship for a child who has been injured when settlement of personal injury claims needs to be approved by the court under the legal authority of a conservator.
Representing conservators after appointment by the court and assisting them with fulfilling their legal obligations.
How do I avoid a Guardianship or Conservatorship Proceeding?
Careful estate planning allows you to protect yourself from being subject to a guardianship or conservatorship proceeding. Estate planning documents not only allow you to choose who you would want to speak for you when you no longer have that ability, but it also allows this time of transition to be private, rather than public through the court process. These proceedings may involve a court hearing, where a judge listens to family members discuss a person's capacity in detail, sometimes with examples of behavior or incidents that can be embarrassing. They discuss who should serve as the guardian and conservator. Gaining court authority can be a stressful process for both the person whose capacity is in question, and for the person who seeks decision-making authority. However, when there is no other alternative, the court's involvement to create this authority is necessary.

Allyssa Lingad – Age 14
ycp_adm - Our Students - 16 May - 0 Comment
Meet Young Choreographer, Allyssa. Age 14.
Mentor: Jennifer La Curan
Favorite Styles of Dance: "My favorite style of dance is modern because it is very fun and different from ballet and hip hop."
About Her Dance Piece: "What inspired me was Sia. A lot of her music videos are considered strange, and attract a lot of attention. Sia was always very interesting to me, when I was 10 my ballet teacher used to play her songs all the time. Now that she came out with new music, I have a new interpretation of her. I wanted to capture the essence of Sia with my own personal influence in it. I didn't want to do a dance that was necessarily filled with perfect feet and lines. So of course, I used a Sia song and choreographed a dance that shows who I am. I also wanted to improve upon what i did last year. I wanted to learn more and do a lot better than my piece last year.
My piece represents an internal battle. There are two people and they represent two sides of the story, or they can be seen as two people who represent one. It supposed to show the dilemma between choosing one or the other. I want the audience to learn that internal battles can be solved and that the battle will only help you become a stronger person, just as long as you keep persevering. "

Q: How do I set an element's height to 100% viewport width I am trying to set an elements height to equal the viewport width.
How can this be achieved? (taking the following fiddle as an example)...
https://jsfiddle.net/minlare/0hnn7pfy/
body{margin:0;}
div{min-height: 100vw;}

Mismatch between height and width only occurs when a scrollbar is present.
I need to account for the cases where the scrollbar might be present, keeping a square format for my div.

A: Try with:
body{
  margin:0;
  overflow:hidden;
}
div{
  background: lightblue;
  height: 100vw;
  width:100vw;
}

this removes the scrolling and gives the same width and height to the div

A: You have to set its height:100%; and html,body height:100%;

html,body{height:100%;padding:0;margin:0;}
.box{height:100%;position:relative;background-color:grey}

A: You can do it using one of the appropriate among following javascript methods:
window.screen.height
window.screen.availHeight
document.documentElement.clientHeight
document.documentElement.offsetHeight
document.documentElement.scrollHeight

This link may be useful: http://ryanve.com/lab/dimensions/

A: use the meta tag
add this in your
<META NAME="viewport" CONTENT="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=no"/>

and in your css
@-ms-viewport{
  width: device-width;
  height: device-height;
}
