BRIAN BANKS EXPOSES DISCRIMINATION AND REDEMPTION
At the age of 16, Brian Banks (played by Aldis Hodge) is a star football athlete at Long Beach Polytechnic High, looking forward to a scholarship from USC. On campus one day, he encounters a girlfriend, Kennisha Rice (Xosha Roquemore), and the two decide to do some smooching, so they go past several classrooms to a hallway where secret lovemaking is common but risky. After kissing her, he explains that he could be caught doing something impermissible and leaves. He does not realize that Kennisha might interpret his departure as rejection. She then tells another classmate about the incident, a security hall officer, and later her mother (Monique Grant). Her mother then files a police complaint for the alleged kidnapping and rape, resulting in his arrest. But his public defender offers a "deal" to plead "no contest," assuring Brian that he will be able to avoid imprisonment. When the court hearing is held, the prosecutor welches on the "deal," so Brian goes to prison for six years, where he is bullied yet consoled by a prison social worker (Morgan Freeman, who is strangely unacknowledged in the credits). Meanwhile, Kennisha's mother files a negligence claim for lax security against the school and wins a $1.5 million settlement.
After Brian's release, a GPS tracker is placed on his ankle by his probation officer, who warns him not to go near parks or schools. His budding career is over. Knowing that he is innocent of the crime to which his "no contest" will automatically become "guilty" at the end of his probation, he decides to seek help from the California Innocence Project, headed by Justin Brooks (Greg Kinnear). The bulk of Brian Banks then traces how he seeks redemption. Although reviewers are not supposed to talk about the ending, he does receive exoneration, seeks the NFL football career, trains for a year, and then lands a job with the Atlanta Falcons.
Directed by Tom Shadyac, Brian Banks provides filmviewers with a vivid insight on how the criminal justice system provides anything but justice for African Americans. For example, the crime of kidnapping was impossible, since Brian and Kennisha walked across crowded classrooms, and she did not make any sounds of protest. Nevertheless, prosecutors never even investigated the so-called crime scene. The only witness was the woman, so there was no corroboration. Then there was the decision to try Brian as an adult. The public defender did not do an adequate job of contesting "evidence," not even objecting to the judge when the "deal" was scuttled. DNA evidence was not used because Brian pled "no contest" instead of demanding a jury trial. In addition, the difficulty of obtaining "extraordinary" evidence to reverse the conviction was also highlighted. The empathy of the prosecutor, who had the power to withdraw the offenses, is also tested at a hearing with Kennisha and her mother. The Political Film Society has nominated Brian Banks for best film exposé and best film on human rights of 2019. MH
TEACHER DEALS WITH HOW SCHOOL BULLYING CANNOT BE SOLVED
A high school student, Preston Walsh (played by Matthew Gerry), is being bullied by another student, Tim Cooper (Curtis Edward Jackson). The bullying is particularly evident in one of his classes, which is taught by James Lewis (David Dastmalchian), who is close to being awarded tenure in the school. Preston befriends Daniela Lopez (Esme Perez), a Latino student who is very shy and also the target of bullying. When Teacher Lewis reports the bully to the vice principal, however, he learns that dealing with the bully might be a black mark on the school, so he should not get too involved. The problem is that Tim's father Bernard (Kevin Pollak) is rich and an influential member of the community. Nevertheless, Preston retaliates by pointing a camera at Tim while he is pitching for the home team, and more bullying follows. Teacher Lewis tries to intervene, going to the house of Bernard Cooper, contrary to the vice principle's advice. Directed by Adam Dick, Teacher then descends into noir territory. MH

Martin Riggs is a fictional character from the Lethal Weapon film series created by Shane Black. Riggs was originally played by actor Mel Gibson in all four films from 1987 to 1998, and later by Clayne Crawford in the Fox television series from 2016 to 2018.

Originally a member of the Los Angeles Police Department's Narcotics Division, upon being reassigned to the Homicide Division, Riggs is partnered up with straight-laced sergeant Roger Murtaugh. Riggs and Murtaugh remain partners and best friends throughout the film series.

Career

Military career
Martin Riggs joined the U.S. Army at age 19, eventually becoming a member of the U.S. Army Special Forces, receiving specialized training in weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. These skills would later serve him well when he became a police officer. Most of Riggs' time in special forces was in Vietnam, where he served as an assassin under the CIA's "Phoenix Project". The first time he killed is never mentioned, but he mentions he shot a man with a sniper rifle from a long distance (1000 yards) in Laos; while his ability as a trained killer would later affect his mental health, he thought of it as "the only thing I was ever really good at".

Family
In 1984, Riggs' wife, Victoria Lynn, dies in a car accident, sending him into a deep depression. Driven by grief to the brink of suicide, Riggs regularly puts himself (and anyone else near him) in danger, hoping someone will kill him. This total disregard for his own life makes him completely fearless, turning him into a "Lethal Weapon". By the end of the first film, however, he has vowed to move on with his life. In the second film, it is revealed that Victoria was actually murdered during an attempt on Riggs's life.

In the films
In Lethal Weapon, Riggs is transferred from the narcotics division to the homicide division after a shooting incident. He is partnered with Detective Sergeant Roger Murtaugh in hopes that the older, more mature veteran will keep him in line. After a rough start, the two become best friends throughout the film series, even though Riggs always gets on Murtaugh's nerves. By the end of the first film, the two have worked together to rescue Murtaugh's daughter, who had been kidnapped by drug lords and mercenaries.

In Lethal Weapon 2, Riggs discovers that South African crime lord Arjen Rudd, whom he and Murtaugh are pursuing, ordered Riggs' death in 1984. Rudd's enforcer, Pieter Vorstedt, killed Victoria Riggs by mistake and made the murder look like an automobile accident to cover up their involvement. After avenging the deaths of his wife and Rika van den Haas (whom Riggs had become involved with romantically before she, too, was murdered by Rudd and his minions), he is able to move on with his life. Meanwhile, Riggs and Murtaugh are assigned to protect a comical federal witness, Leo Getz, whom they ultimately become close friends with.

He meets Sgt. Lorna Cole, an internal affairs officer, in Lethal Weapon 3 during an investigation into the disappearance of weapons from LAPD impound. The two make an immediate connection and work closely together to clear Murtaugh's name after he is forced to kill his son's friend in self-defense. Riggs and Cole become romantically involved and move in together after the end of the film.

In Lethal Weapon 4, Riggs and Cole are still living together, and she is pregnant with their child, but they have dodged the issue of marriage. Both Riggs and Murtaugh are promoted to captain by the fourth film in order to keep them out of trouble, but are demoted back to sergeants at the end of the film. Leo helps Riggs finally make peace with his wife's death; Riggs marries Cole while she is giving birth to their son.

Television series

In a March 2016 newspaper article, the plot for the television pilot is as follows: "When Texas cop and former Navy SEAL Martin Riggs...suffers the loss of his wife and baby, he moves to Los Angeles to start anew. There, he gets partnered with LAPD detective Roger Murtaugh...who, having recently suffered a "minor" heart attack, must avoid any stress in his life. In the Season Two finale, Riggs kills his abusive father during a fight after rescuing Murtaugh's wife. At the end of the episode, Riggs visits his deceased wife's grave. At the gravesite, his much younger half-brother Garrett shows up, shoots him in the chest, mortally wounding him, and leaves. In the Season Three premiere, he dies from his gunshot wound in the hospital and is subsequently replaced by Wesley Cole as Murtaugh's partner.

Riggs is also a practitioner of several styles of martial arts that include Wing Chun, Judo, Taekwondo, Boxing, Capoeira, Shotokan Karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Reception

Critics have given the character a positive reception. He is praised for his dramatic and brutal fight scene with Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) and the sharp and clever dialogue provided by Shane Black. Martin Riggs is number 100 on Empire's list of The 100 Greatest Movie Characters.

Home » American Thrall family history » William Thrall
William Thrall
William Thrall is the founder of the Thrall family in the United States.
William was born in 1605 in Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England and came to the colonies on the Mary and John in the year 1630. He died on 3 August 1679 in Windsor, Connecticut.
The Mary and John was a vessel of four hundred tons captained by a man named Squeb and the vessel sailed with 180 passengers. William was part of a company of Puritans under the leadership of Rev. John Wareham of Exeter and Rev. John Meverick, both ministers of the Church of England Setting sail from Plymouth, England on 20 March, they first came ashore on 30 May 1630.
They disembarked with what goods they had, to some high land in the salt meadow, now a part of the city of Boston. They named the place Dorchester, which was selected by the captain of the "Mary and John" as he came from Dorchester, England. Page 277 of Prince's Chronology of New England records…
May 30, Lord's Day. Mr. Wareham and his church, and their goods, were put ashore at Nantasket Point. The went immediately to Charlestown, and from thence to Mattepan, and began a town and named it Dorchester, and the native Indians were kind to them.
Revs. Wareham and Meverick and their group stayed in Dorchester less than five years, as a number of their menfolk had discovered more fertile land below the first falls of the Connecticut River, at the junction of the Farmington River just above Hartford. Part of the colony went by boat and the remainder travelled across the one hundred miles of virgin forest, to establish the town of Windsor. Windsor was unofficially known as Thrallville in the early years.
The first we know of William Thrall is that he is listed with the following men who were among the thirty men who went from Windsor to join in the fight against the Pequod Indians in May 1637. Capt. John Mason, Sgt. Benedict Alvord, Thomas Barber, Thomas Buckland, George Chappel, John Dyer, James Eggleston, Nathaniel Gillet, Thomas Gridley, Thomas Styles, Sgt. Thomas Stares, Richard Osborn, Thomas Parsons, William Thrall. The Indian village in this case was so completely destroyed that for many years, the settlers had no further trouble with the Indians. Some years later, the participants were given land grants. To quote from Dr. Styles records with regard to the first Indian war in New England,
The danger was imminent, and so complete the victory that it caused universal rejoicing throughout New England, and a grant of land was given each soldier and officer, and to this day the memory of an ancestor who was in the Pequod fight, is an honorable heirloom in every Connecticut family.
William Thrall is mentioned many times in the early records. His lot shows up in the first plot of Windsor, between the lots of Nicholas Palmer and Thomas Bascomb, and ran from the road to the Farmington River. In 1646, William sold this lot to Nicholas Palmer and moved to Simon Hoyte's place, north of the village. Robert Wilson bought a half interest with William in the Hoyte's 80 acres, but sold his half to Thrall in 1654. This 80 acres has been part of the holdings of the Thrall family ever since.
William Thrall was born in 1605 in Sandridge, Hertfordshire, England, and died on 3 August 1679 in Windsor, Connecticut, America. William Thrall made his will in 1678.
Goode Thrall
We know very little about the wife of William Thrall. She is referred to in the old Windsor records as Goode Thrall, but 'Goode' was an expression applied to women with families and it is simply an abbreviation of 'Goodwife'. Whether she came over to New England on the "Mary and John" with her husband or they met in Dorchester, has never been established The record of her death simply states…
Goode Thrall, wife of William, died 30 July 1676

APRIL 13, 2022:
Many gathered at the Reno City Plaza and marched through downtown on April 13 to bring justice and awareness to the death of Anna Scott.
Victoria Erwin, Anna Scott's stepmother tells us, "It's the most traumatic thing someone could ever go through, just by one persons actions can destroy a whole family."
She mentions how important the march was, not just for Anna, but for other missing girls who have yet to get justice themselves.
"I don't want the people or people's who did this to her think they silenced her, and that they're not going to get caught. So we're going to fight for her everyday until they are caught." She yells to the crowd "We will fight! fight! fight for you!"
Erwin explains, having so much support from the community, "It shows that she wasn't alone, it shows that she had the biggest family in the world."
The crowd chants, "No justice, no peace!"
They also hope the march encourages anyone who may know something to speak out.
Erwin asks, "Please just come forward anything that you have call the detectives we just want justice for her."
Another speaker yells, "Justice! we will not settle for less!"
As the entire crowd chants "Anna Marie Scott!"
APRIL 11 UPDATE:
Secret Witness says people can't pick and choose what specific cases they will raise rewards for or donate to, and their rewards follow a standard.
"We don't want to fall in a situation where the victim of a family with financial means is more valuable than the victim of a family without financial means," says Secret Witness' chairman, Ken Lightfoot.
He says, higher rewards don't usually help raise the number of tips.
The family says, they will continue to raise the money independently, and if they can't raise the reward amount, they will use the money to buy Anna Scott's headstone.
APRIL 9 UPDATE:
An ongoing raffle hopes to raise funds for the Secret Witness Reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of a suspect(s) involved in murder of Anna Scott.
Tickets are $10 each.
The raffle ends on May 6, 2022.
Detectives wish to remind the public that only information released by the Washoe County Sheriff's Office is deemed to be credible.
Detectives' primary goal is to solve Scott's homicide, and to bring justice to Scott and her loved ones.
Anyone with information relating to Scott's murder should contact the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Detective Division at (775) 328-3320 or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900
The coroner says the woman whose body was found in a burnt car last month died from a gunshot wound.
Washoe County deputies say Anna Scott was found dead inside the car on I-580 near Galena Creek just over a month ago.
Authorities are investigating the 23-year-old's death as a homicide.
Scott left behind two children and her family is trying to raise $10,000. Two online fundraisers have been created to help the family.
If you have any information that can help authorities, call Washoe County detectives at 775-328-3320 or call/text your anonymous tip to Secret Witness at 775-322-4900. A $2,500 reward is being offered.

...Quick Hitting Winter System Sunday and Sunday Night Followed
By Very Cold Temperatures...
* A quick moving slider-type winter system is expected to impact
the Sierra and western Nevada on Sunday into Sunday night,
bringing gusty ridge winds and light snowfall accumulations.
* Ahead of the precipitation, westerly winds will begin to
increase Saturday night into Sunday morning. Sierra ridges will
see gusts between 60 to 80 mph which will result in some
mountain recreational impacts. Expect choppy conditions on Lake
Tahoe as gusts will climb up to around 30 mph.
* This will be a cold system, with powdery snow at all elevations.
Snow totals will be meager by Sierra standards, with generally
2-6" expected. For western Nevada, a dusting up to a few inches
of snow will be possible. Remember, it doesn't take much for
the snow to pack down into ice as cars drive over it. Driving
conditions may get messy Sunday, with the potential for
lingering icy conditions into the Monday morning commute.
* For the latest roadway conditions call 5 1 1 or download
Caltran's and NDOT's smart phone applications, Quickmap and
NVRoads, respectively.
* Frigid temperatures will settle into the region early next week
with highs remaining below freezing Monday and possibly Tuesday.
Overnight lows Monday night could be the coldest some locations
have seen in 5-10 years. Preparations should be made to protect
vulnerable populations and pets from these very cold
temperatures.

Finally listened to those of you who suggested a system that could regulate the coal and installed it today after work. I Had The jack so used that to move the plates. I want to try to hook a cheap 110v winch motor to the jack so I can open and close it fron inside. Also added steps, a smart man would have done that in the beginning of the project.
Nice work, love threads like these!
Got the thing completely assembled today, just have to get some different tires on it. Also got it put in the lean too where it is going to live. The pick of the window is the back of the lean to an auger will move the coal to the window and gravity should hopefully drop into the hopper though a piece of pvc. I will have to find a new place to store the wood splitter now or just convince the wife to swap out the wood srove in the house for coal also.

Montgomery County Leaders Urging People To Change Their Thanksgiving Plans
WYSO | By Kristin Stratman

Father Benjamin Speare-Hardy, Rector of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Trotwood
As COVID-19 cases surge, Montgomery County's political, religious and public health leaders are calling for residents to change their Thanksgiving celebrations this year.
Father Benjamin Speare-Hardy, Rector of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Trotwood, has been performing services over webcam since March. He says celebrating Thanksgiving virtually is a small sacrifice to make to keep each other healthy.
"There will be another Thanksgiving, this is not the last," he said during a meeting of public leaders today held on Zoom. "But we have to exercise every precaution that has been given to us by Public Health and do what we can to make sure that we are safe."
Jeff Cooper, Dayton and Montgomery County's Public Health Commissioner,
Ohio Public Health data shows there's an average of 283 coronavirus cases reported in Montgomery County every day, and that number is expected to rise. Jeff Cooper, Dayton and Montgomery County's Public Health Commissioner, says he feels some reserved optimism that locals will practice safe habits over Thanksgiving weekend.
"I think if we all take a step back and be honest with ourselves it's ultimately about protecting others," Cooper says. "As we define what we value in life, and who we hold dear, I have confidence that our community will make the right decisions and will do what's necessary to protect their loved ones."
Officials suggest that if families do celebrate with people from other households, they wear masks, social distance, and try to eat outdoors.

Западна Немачка је учествовала на 4. Европском првенству у дворани 1973 одржаном у Ротердаму, (Холандија), 10. и 11. марта. Репрезентацију Западне Немачке у њеном четвртом учешћу на европским првенствима у дворани представљала је 45 спортиста (29 м и 16 ж) који су се такмичили у 21 дисциплина: 12 мушких и 9 женских.

Са 8 освојених медаља (6 златних и 2 сребрне) Западна Немачка је у укупном пласману заузела 1. место од 16 земаља које су на овом првенству осввајале медаље, односно 24 земље учеснице.

Најуспешнија такмичарка била је Анегрет Рихтер која је поред освојене две златне медаље, у трци на 60 метара  и као чланица победничке штафете, два пута обарала светски рекорд на 60 метара.

У табели успешности (према броју и пласману такмичара који су учествовали у финалним такмичењима (првих 8 такмичара)) Западна Немачка је са 14 учесника у финалу заузела 3. место са 80 бодоваа, од 22 земље које су имале представнике у финалу, односно све земље учеснице су имали представника у финалу.

Учесници

¹ Напомена:Пошто је кружна стаза у Ротердаму износила 180 метара, није се могло одржати такмичење штафета 4 х 400 метара јер су два круга уместо 400 метара износила 360, тако да је било немогуће измене извршити на местима које та трка по правилима ИААФ предвиђа, па је назив ове дисциплине био штафета 4 х 2 круга. Победницама се рачунају медаље, а постигнути резултати не, јер су постигнути у дисциплини која званично не постоји.
  Звездица уз име такмичара означава да је учествовао у више дисциплина
  Звездица уз број у загради означава да су у њега још једном урачунати такмичари који су учествовали у више дисциплина.

SunDancers Host Alumni Brunch to Honor Directors
Katie Hendler, Human Resources Director
Alumni, directors, and current SunDancers squeeze together for a group photo to commemorate the first ever gathering of past and present teams. The attendees celebrated the past directors over brunch before Escapade.
Katie Hendler
Previous SunDancer director Shelby Kelly hugs her past students. Kelly was honored at the alumni brunch for her many years of dedication to the dance department.
Current SunDancer juniors Susan Hamilton and Lucy Wassmuth look through team scrapbooks. The memorabilia table held scrapbooks from almost every single year since the team was founded.
On Saturday, April 2, multiple generations of SunDancers gathered in the dance studio for an alumni brunch. This event made SunDancer history as it was the first time that dancers from the beginning of the team's founding in 1981 joined the current team, for Chick-Fil-A and celebration. The brunch honored the previous directors, Marla Valk and Shelby Kelley, and their many years dedicated to the shaping and nurturing of the school's dance department.
"The honorees both helped build the dance department as it is today, with classes, Warrior Pride, and SunDancers," SunDancer Line Officer Carly Kienitz '23 said. "We see their impacts now in our style of dance and how we differ from other drill teams, as well as a lot of our traditions that have carried onto the present."
This was also an opportunity for the current team to get to know the SunDancers before them. A slideshow of photos from every year of the team sent in by the alumni attending played throughout the morning. There was also a table of team scrapbooks from each year for the guests to peruse.
"One of my favorite parts was being able to look through old pictures and see old uniforms and traditions," Kienitz said. "I loved getting to see how it all has changed over the years into what we are used to now."
The brunch took place prior to the last night of the SunDancer's annual dance showcase, "Escapade", which included a dance with the alumni, giving them the chance to take the stage as a SunDancer for one last time. This dance closed the first act, and showed off every single dance class and team, along with the alumni.
"I thought that the dance was pretty cool and a good homage to the two women who built the dance department," Warrior Pride helper and SunDancer Claire Johnson '22 said. "There was this one older woman who killed it, I couldn't even tell she hadn't danced with a team in a while."
The event was not limited to alumni from 1981, as alumni who graduated just as recently as 2021 dined with their former teammates. The SunDancers enjoyed getting to catch up with their friends in college who they hadn't seen in a while.
"It was super fun getting to see some of my older SunDancer friends and teachers. It was nice to be able to show off the new dance studio and eat all of the food with them," Johnson said. "It was fun to hear about what they were actually doing after graduation and how they still love to support the team."
Overall, the brunch was successful in bringing past and current dancers together to celebrate and share their love for dancing. The alumni performance at Escapade on Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2 also commemorated the previous directors and team members.


Stirling became one of the foremost towns in medieval Scotland when it was awarded the Royal Charter around 800 years ago. In 2002 Stirling became Scotland's 6th city. Local people still say "I'll meet you in the toon".
In July2017 all the businesses in the City Centre of Stirling voted to create a "Business Improvement District" - a BID. This has been done in many cities in England and Scotland and has helped regenerate cities such as Hull, Nottingham, and Swindon, Farlkirk, Bathgate and Elgin.
The GoForth Stirling BID is separate from all activites that Stirling Council are responsible for.

Inaugural West Coast Diversity Brunch Honors Tech Titans of Color
Each honoree had the same strategy: Support those doing the hands-on work. And every table was packed with the people doing that work.
By Amy Keyishian@madfoot Mar 31, 2015, 1:45pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Inaugural West Coast Diversity Brunch Honors Tech Titans of Color
Culture Shift Labs
It would have been easy to walk into last Sunday's Silicon Valley Diversity Brunch in Palo Alto feeling cynical. As noted by one of the introductory speakers, tech companies are not models of diversity.
Finding itself at 3.5 percent black, Intel pledged $300 million to up its own numbers. Jesse Jackson showed up at the most recent Apple shareholders meeting to encourage Tim Cook to do better, faster, more after that company's internal estimate put its black employee population at 7 percent. At our own Code/Media conference, Tyler the Creator found three black people in the audience — no, wait, "you're mixed, it's two and a half." At the moment, black workers do not have a good seat at the tech table.
But you wouldn't have known it from the packed room, where each and every table seemed to represent several organizations currently creating change in Silicon Valley. Yes, things are bad, but according to the success stories among the 250 attendants, bad "never looked so good," as Andrea Hoffman, founder and CEO of Culture Shift Labs, the organization that has been hosting events like these on the East coast for the past five years, quipped from the podium.
Emceed by former NAACP head Ben Jealous, who had a warm (and usually hilarious) personal story involving everyone he introduced, the event honored four black tech execs who have gone beyond role-modeling to raise up others. Their solutions involve the same pay-it-forward approach they themselves took: Mentor others. Fund existing organizations, of which there are many. Encourage. Connect.
Ken Coleman, chairman of Saama Technologies and a special adviser to Andreessen Horowitz, embodied this approach, as nearly every other attendee seemed to name him as a mentor. "I never bought into that idea that white people's ice water was colder than black people's," he said. "I never was intimidated. I guess that's how I was raised."
Van Jones, former White House green jobs adviser and co-founder of #YesWeCode, roused the crowd, though. He didn't have to drop the mic. He literally broke it off the stand when it was handed to him. "People call me an agitator," he told the crowd, "but I see myself as a problem solver. Nothing good happens to black people on accident."
"There won't be a million rappers signed," he continued. "There won't be a million basketball players signed. But there will be a million jobs created in tech, and we need to get our share. … If a mind is a terrible thing to waste, a tech mind is an even worse thing to waste."
If that were the end of the story, it would have just been a pleasant, endlessly quotable brunch. But this was no empty morning of glad-handing and self-congratulation. Every single table was packed with participants who were each passionately involved with boots-on-the-ground action on behalf of black jobs in tech.
To this reporter's left was Karla Monterroso, VP of programs for Code2040, a nonprofit organization that works with companies to change their perception of a good hire — breaking requirements into components rather than relying on schools and pedigrees — in addition to running fellowships and internships.
To the right was Andrew Lindsay, head of corporate development at Jawbone, who donates his time to the San Francisco Office of Workforce Development to close the skill gap between San Francisco natives and the tech companies with jobs to fill. Just a few days ago, that program was promised $100 million from the Obama administration to provide training and even stipends to 18- to 24-year-olds being trained for tech jobs through the Tech SF Initiative.
Across the table was Cheryl Contee, co-founder of #YesWeCode in addition to being CEO of Fission Strategy and co-founder of Attentive.ly, all organizations that work to leverage social media on behalf of social issues.
And we were in the back of the room. This place was packed with power in motion, and it was easy to see that the low tech-diversity numbers would be changing soon — and a lot.

HomeTech/ScienceNASA's Dawn mission photos used to make atlas of Asteroid Vesta
NASA's Dawn mission photos used to make atlas of Asteroid Vesta
Pasadena, CA – An atlas of the giant asteroid Vesta, created from images taken as NASA's Dawn mission flew around the object (also known as a protoplanet), is now accessible for the public to explore online. The set of maps was created from mosaics of 10,000 images taken by Dawn's framing camera instrument at a low altitude of about 130 miles (210 kilometers).
The maps are mostly at a scale about that of regional road-touring maps, where every inch of map is equivalent to a little more than 3 miles of asteroid (1 centimeter equals 2 kilometers).
If you could drive a car around the giant Asteroid Vesta, you would need a road map akin to the atlas of images released from NASA's Dawn mission. Twenty-nine new maps of the asteroid, one of which is shown here, show its mountains and craters at a scale similar to that of common road maps. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA)
"Creating the atlas has been a painstaking task — each map sheet of this series has used roughly 400 images," said Thomas Roatsch of the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, Germany, who presented the images September 11th at the European Planetary Science Congress 2013 in London.
"The atlas shows how extreme the terrain is on a body the size of Vesta. In the south pole projection alone, the Severina crater contours reach a depth of 11 miles [18 kilometers]; just over 60 miles [100 kilometres] away from the mountain peak towers about 4 miles [7 kilometers] high."
Read the full news release from the European Planetary Science Congress.
View the images online .
The Dawn mission to Vesta and Ceres is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The University of California, Los Angeles, is responsible for overall Dawn mission science.
The Dawn framing cameras were developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany, with significant contributions by DLR German Aerospace Center, Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, and in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering, Braunschweig. The framing camera project is funded by the Max Planck Society, DLR and NASA.

Q: How can I split DAGs by categories, similar to Jenkins views? We started moving from Jenkins to Airflow. The biggest problem that we're facing right now is that there are a lot of DAGs and it's difficult to navigate there.
Is there any way to split them by categories, similar to Jenkins views?

A: You can use tags, and filter by tags. Or you could name all the dags according to some prefixes (export, import, mnt, ml, whatever) and type in the search bar the prefix that you want to find the DAGs. Not exactly what you did before though.


The story begins with the suicide of a prominent MP in a London hotel. His funeral is quickly followed by the kidnapping of his two year old grandson, Samuel, (whom the MP had never met) from a London street.
The case is assigned to Detective Inspector Dan Carter and Detective Constable Ebony Willis, both tenacious investigators. These detectives have private lives that do not impinge on the investigation (which is refreshing) and a camaraderie that transcends their different life styles and backgrounds.
They home in on a Cornish connection speedily and drive to Penhaligon. The dead man, Jeremy Forbes-Wright, had owned a house in Penhaligon. They found that a number of Cornish people from the village had gone to the funeral 'to pay their respects' despite preferring a Cornwall not tainted by outsiders. Pressure was being put on Toby, the estranged son of Jeremy, to sell the house to a local consortium.
The focus of events is always on the hope that Samuel is still alive and can be rescued despite the avalanche of other suspected illegal activities that falls on the investigation. The pressure of past traumas lies heavily across the landscape. There is a story about the young woman who was raped in 2000 and still lives in the village. A nucleus of others also remains in the local area and the detectives strive to find out exactly what rotten secrets from their childhoods contaminate these people. As DI Carter puts it - the past has caused a boil which is rising to a head and to an explosion of pus. He hopes that this will loosen tongues and help him to find Samuel alive. The story gradually rises to the sort of explosive climax for which Carter hoped!
Thus is certainly a page turner!

Conimicut Light, built in 1883, is a historic sparkplug lighthouse in Warwick, Rhode Island. The lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The lighthouse is said to be in "relatively good condition."

The lighthouse was built in 1883 using pneumatic caisson engineering. The light replaced an earlier 1868 light.  Conimicut Lighthouse was automated in the 1960s and was one of the last acetylene gas powered lights to switch to electricity. The City of Warwick acquired the light in 2004. Initially the city planned to restore the lighthouse, but a federal grant for this purpose failed to come through. Subsequently, the city is considering various plans, including leasing it to a tourism company to be converted into a bed-and-breakfast inn.

This location marks the mouth of the Providence River as it empties into Narragansett Bay.

No one wants to be misled especially by the people we trust or hold high expectations like in the case of BitRush where the former CEO Werner Boehm was accused of betraying his friends as well as shareholders by embezzling their funds. Fraud basically is damaging to the image of the manager and the company in general.
Fraud is a case where an individual deliberately uses deceptive means in order to secure unlawful gains.A more complete definition of fraud entails a complete misrepresentation of material facts for the purpose of gaining unfair advantage. Some of the key elements of fraud include; false representation and doctored documentation. It is almost similar to robbery only that fraud is perceived as being victimless crime. In most of the scenarios, fraud goes undetected and the victim never discovers that they have been defrauded.
Anyone can commit fraud and anyone can be a victim. It is very hard to notice a fraudster at a glance since they look just like any other ordinary individual. They don't look like the jailed criminals you see on TV, they are just the normal educated individuals we work with, have cocktails with or even went to school with.Most of the fraud perpetrators do not have prior criminal records and are very educated with high self-esteem. For instance, Werner Boehm who perfected the art of crypto fraud at BitRush. Boehm not only embezzled the company's funds but also stole from his friends as well as misled the company for more info.
Fraud control strategy refers to the key elements that the organization puts in place to identify, investigate, manage, prevent and deal with cases of fraud in its own circumstances. As much as the strategy of approaching fraud in an organization depends upon its size, diversity, geographical spread as well as the industry it operates, there are a few key elements that need to be consider. Some of these key elements include fraud awareness program where the organization educates the staff and stakeholders on the forms of corruption and how it can be mitigated. Has the company established a reporting process for fraud offences as well as risk assessment? Other elements include whistle blowing as well as pre-employment screening.
In summary, it is very early to detect fraud especially in a very big company like BitRush where the senior executive is involved. Nonetheless, you can install proper fraud awareness program to ensure that the company is fraud proof.

John Barrowman Confirms New Torchwood Season
With the dramatic endings of season three as well as 'Children of Earth,' which aired on BBC America back in the spring in which we lost several Torchwood members, it's unclear exactly how Davies is going to revive the Torchwood organization. Captain Jack Harkness (Barrowman) himself had a dramatic departure, so it's pretty much a given that there will be a very dramatic return.
No official production date has been set for the return of the series, but creator Russell T Davies previously indicated he expected it to get started early in 2010.
Barrowman also told the programme that there were no current plans for Captain Jack Harkness to encounter the 11th Doctor, played by Matt Smith, who takes over the title role in Doctor Who from David Tennant in the New Year's Day special, The End of Time, Part 2.
Matt Smith Revealed as Doctor Who #11
The man who successfully revived one of the oldest
and longest running Sci-Fi series Russell T Davies said: "When I heard who
they cast as the eleventh Doctor my initial reaction was, I was just so jealous
that they would get to work with him.
Executive producer Stephen Moffatt
said: "He's younger than any Doctor before and younger than any Doctor whose
been suggested in the Press."
Fellow executive producer Piers Wenger
said: "He has the look of someone who lives before. Those are the sort of
qualities that got him the part and which make him the doctor."

The Rugby Football League Championship First Division was the top division of rugby league in England between 1895 and 1996, when it was replaced by the Super League.

History

1895–1904: Foundations

The first season of rugby league (1895–96) saw all the breakaway clubs play in a single league competition. The addition of new teams and the problems of travelling led to the league being split in two for the following season; into the Yorkshire League and the Lancashire League. This arrangement lasted until the 1901–02 season, when the top clubs from each league resigned and formed a single new competition. The following season the remaining clubs in the Yorkshire and Lancashire Leagues were re-organised to form a second division.

1905–1970: Restructure
In 1905–06 the two divisions were re-combined into a single competition. Clubs played all the teams in their own county on a home-and-away basis, results counting towards the re-formed Yorkshire and Lancashire Leagues. They also organised inter-county fixtures on an individual basis; all results were collated into a single table for the Championship. In order to even up the competition a top-four play-off series was used to determine the Championship.

Apart from the interventions of the two world wars, this system was retained until the 1962–63 season, when the league briefly returned to a two divisional system. This lasted only two years, and in the 1964–65 season they returned to one large division subdivided into county leagues. The play-offs were expanded to the top 16 teams and the Harry Sunderland Trophy was introduced as the man-of-the-match award for the decider.

1970–1995: Premiership and reintroducing Second Division
In the 1973–74 season they once again went back to two divisions. The play-off and the Yorkshire and Lancashire League were abandoned, and a new play-off type competition, the Premiership, was introduced however the team finishing top of the Championship were crowned champions. During this period in the late 1980s and early 1990s Wigan dominated both the Championship and Challenge Cup.

SmartMotion is a virtual appliance that replicates virtual machines directly to any physical or cloud-based NAS target in one step, saving time for IT solution providers. Customers can save money, too, because Pancetera's solution works with their existing data protection software to keep acquisition costs low. Backup data from physical and virtual machines can be sent to any target NAS device, whether an onsite physical appliance or a virtual appliance in the cloud. As part of a disaster recovery solution, SmartMotion can create hot stand-by virtual servers either on local servers or in the cloud.
Packing a small data center into a storage container is a great strategy for IT solution providers to increase customers' capacity quickly -- and it's also an ideal way to get up and running fast after a natural disaster strikes. These portable containerized data centers comprise servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment pre-configured in standard 20-foot or 40-foot shipping containers that can be transported to locations where computing power is needed but local data centers are offline. Well known vendors, including Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, SGI, IBM, Dell, Liebert, Oracle-Sun, and Bull offer this type of solution. A lesser-known vendor, Wave2Wave, has introduced three data center-in-a-box solutions that can be used for disaster recovery. One of the Wave2Wave models can withstand a crush force of up to 70,000 pounds, or a .30-cal bullet.
Face it: Many IT solution providers' small (and maybe midsize) customers don't backup their data because it's too difficult, time consuming, etc. Backup Exec is now integrated with Symantec's storage cloud, so small businesses or remote offices can lose the excuses and more easily back up Windows-based desktops and servers over a secure SSL connection to the cloud. Critical files can be restored to any service-enabled machine after a disaster. After years of being one of the go-to solutions for data protection, Backup Exec is now available in off-premises and appliance versions, to cater to the different preferences of customers. In the end, the IT solution provider's job is to recommend products that make their customers' lives easier. If data backup is perceived as too cumbersome, it just won't get done.
Disaster recovery in the cloud offers IT solution providers more options to restore data fast and effectively compared with a traditional disaster recovery model. Aside from the technological benefits, there are cost savings too: Because cloud solutions can have predictable monthly costs, resources can be reserved in the event of an emergency. That rainy day fund can then be used during the crisis in ways that help the business function and continue to generate revenue.
For customers short on cash but long on the desire to protect data, these drives are worth their weight in gold. Given gold's prices these days, that's saying quite a bit. ioSafe guarantees the drives will survive three-day submersion in salt water, have crush resistance of up to 5,000 pounds and withstand continuous pounding of blowing sand and dust, icing and exposure to UV rays. Our Test Center loved them, too.
The drives start at $150 for a 250 GB drive and $230 for 1 TB, and the company will repair or replace a failed drive -- regardless of reason -- and recover the data free of charge. A perfect, cost effective solution for the small customer that can't invest much in disaster recovery, but can't afford not to.
In SRM 5, VMware brings the cost of storage, replication and site recovery management down to the $500 per virtual machine (VM) range by enabling the use of low-end storage on the failover side and enabling the use of different storage arrays on both sides. Typically, a comparable solution costs roughly $1,500 per VM. The product handles storage replication at the VM level using VMware vCenter Server. In addition, SRM 5 does not use synchronous replication, but will instead update every 15 minutes.
Aimed at small business, VMware is conscious of making the product budget friendly. According to the vendor, SRM 5 costs three times less than what it would cost to provide disaster recovery on a per VM basis.

Second Half of Eagle Rock School's 78th Trimester Gets Underway
We're entering the second half of our 78th trimester, and as promised in our post about this trimester's first grouping of classes (see: Here's Some of What We're Learning This Trimester at Eagle Rock School), we're now publishing a follow-up post featuring a rundown of the classroom offerings for this particular portion of the school year. Call it ER 78: The Sequel, if you will.
Each of our classes is carefully contemplated, curated and contained within our curriculum — constructed specifically for students seeking a purpose in school and in life. It's an approach that has worked continuously for the past 25 or so years for the young people who are studying hard and experiencing a new life with and through the Eagle Rock community.
Without further ado, here's what we're tackling on the backside of ER 78 (the 78th trimester since our founding in the early 1990s): Continue reading…
Eagle Rock's Citizen Scientists Monitoring Our Changing Environment
For the first five weeks of this trimester, six Eagle Rock School students have partnered with staff at Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) for the launch of its citizen science initiative — Lily Lake Phenology.
Phenology, which is vital to many aspects of society, is the study of the timing of biological life cycles (nature's calendar, if you will). Things like budding leaves, blooming flowers, or migration of animal species. So, why should high school students care about any of this? Because long- and short-term changes in areas such as animal migration and flowering are related to our weather and climate patterns. With more information about how plants are reacting to the climate, national park staff can make informed decisions on how to manage species that might be at risk.
At the first data collection site, Eagle Rock School student Hendrick looks for catkins and leaf buds on a willow with RMNP Superintendent, Darla Sidles.
Sound like a worthwhile project? Of course, it is. Especially when you consider that seasonal changes in plants and animals happen quickly and require sustained and frequent observation to monitor.
That's where our students, serving in the role of citizen scientists come into the picture. For two days each week, students in our Phenology of Lily Lake class take a Continue reading…
Our 75th Trimester Continues with Even More Unique Class Offerings
With another successful Explore Week behind us — and the celebration last weekend of our 25th anniversary of reengaging youth in their own education — Eagle Rock School is back to normal, with students absorbed in a number of new classroom experiences.
"Back to normal" might be a stretch when it comes to our campus, which has pretty much been delivering progressive education to its student body for what is currently the halfway point of our 75th trimester.
A second collection of five-week classes is underway at Eagle Rock, with offerings that include hands-on internships at the nearby Rocky Mountain National Park, methods of creating actual change in society, the meditative mode of Buddhism, and even a class on the coolness of comics.
Here then is the second installment of ER-75 classroom adventures at Eagle Rock:
RMNP Internship: Students accepted into this program are performing internships within the Rocky Mountain National Park. Students are participating in a number of divisions, including Continue reading…
Eagle Rock's Fall 2017 Classes Are Informative and Interesting
The summer of 2017 is history, and for new and returning Eagle Rock School students, it's the beginning of a fresh trimester — the 73rd since our founding in the early 1990s. And as reliable as the season's change is here in the Rocky Mountains, so to comes the promise of a progressive lineup of class offerings tailor-made for our diverse student body. Take mathematics for example. Your typical high school curriculum lists class offerings in spades, ranging from Algebra, Geometry and Algebra 2, to Pre-Calculus and Calculus.
But how does this sound as a more engaging alternative: The mathematics of casino gambling? We've got that class already underway for those who like to have fun with their numbers while learning.
Or how about chemistry? Most high schools feature classes that entail a lot of memorization, periodic tables, and some lab work. Unless it's a class about the chemical changes that take place when preparing a meal. Now we're really cooking. And the "final exam" for that class revolves around a student-hosted food fair.
Below are descriptions of a number of class topics offered this trimester — most of them unique and all of them designed from the ground up to be both interesting and engaging:
Borders & Identity: In this class, students are exploring their own identity through the lens of the U.S.-Mexican border and the human stories, learning and reflecting on the visible and invisible borders we each confront every day. Learning Spanish is a goal, in order to build bridges between people and community, and compare, contrast and write from multiple points of view. During the first five weeks, participants are diving into the world of migration and identity, formulating their own informed perspectives through video and field work — all the while communicating in Spanish. During the second five weeks, they will continue to explore borders and identity and develop a culminating action-project that propose solutions to the immigration and border debate.
Chemistry of Cooking: In this unique chemistry class, students are studying the chemical changes that food undergoes when it is Continue reading…
What it's Like to Intern at Rocky Mountain National Park — 3 Eagle Rock School Students Tell All
A trio of Eagle Rock School students who are currently enrolled in this trimester's Rocky Mountain National Park internship class were asked by their instructor to write down some thoughts on their unique experiences within the park's 415 square miles of unmatched natural beauty.
Human Performance & Outdoor Education Instructional Specialist Jon Anderson asked the students to describe their service learning projects and what they've acquired from the experience thus far. And suffice to say, the park system, which offers internships in a number of divisions including trail maintenance, recycling, fire fuels reduction, and visitor education, just to name a few, has been very supportive of our educational objectives and goals.
Below is brief info of each student, along with each student's thoughts on their internship:
SOREN ARVIDSON
Hometown: Springfield, Mass.
Eagle Rock School start date: May 8, 2015 (ER 66)
Projected graduation date: Dec. 15, 2017 (ER 73)
I am involved in the Forestry Division within the park. We go out and treat or cut trees that are affected by the pine beetles in the park. Rocky Mountain National Park's mission is to protect and preserve the land for the wildlife and public use. The idea is to have a high-quality experience with a low-environmental impact from humans.

"I remember experiencing a shift in consciousness that gave me the ability to maintain my love of career and also cherish something else, someone else, so, so much more."
Congratulations to the happy couple.

Both tried out for the role of B.A. Baracus, formerly played by Mr. T, and Rampage was selected. Game didn't take to this kindly, and had a few words of constructive criticism for the wrestler.
This could get interesting, or it could die down within the next couple of days as 99% of these disputes usually do. Either way A-Team has grossed over $76 million to date, so I doubt the producers have any regrets about their decision.
UFC star Quinton "Rampage" Jackson hasn't been successful in the fighting business lately, but luckily he has another gig that's working out for him nicely.
The fighter co-stars in the movie "The A-Team" which has been well-received by the public, drawing a rating of 7.4 based on upwards of 20,000 votes on IMDB.com.
"The A-Team" hit theaters on June 11, in the States at least. As to explain why they were in Madrid promoting the movie, I'm guessing it had a later release date in Spain.
Rampage (far right) looks a little out of it in this scene, but I'm sure he did a somewhat decent job in the movie. His mohawk does contrast nicely with the explosion in the background, so he's got that going for him.
Couture is also a former marine, serving from 1982-1988, so he jumped at the opportunity to show Marines stationed at the Camp Pendleton Marine Base in San Diego a pre-screening of his upcoming film.
Other co-stars such as Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis were present as well, and signed autographs for the crowd.
Here is the trailer for the movie, which looks like it could be the next big-time action flick. Judging from the cast, I don't know how this film could go wrong.
UFC president Dana White has an eye for talent when it comes to fighting, but apparently that good fortune doesn't translate to the NBA.
White made a wager with Snoop Dogg on the NBA Finals, picking the Celtics to win the series against the rapper's Lakers, with the winner taking home $20K out of the opponents pocket.
In all fairness to the nature of the bet, the winner was to donate the money to charity. The 'Snoop Youth Football League' was the lucky destination of Snoop's winnings.
Actor/musician Donnie Wahlberg also made a $20K bet with Snoop against the Lakers, so all in all the hip hop hustler walked away with $40K for his charity.


Here was another home run we created for ourselves. Absolutly amazing.
Even if you don't like anchovies, you've got to give this a try. First of all, you can't beat freshly steamed artichokes—nibbling the flesh from the little leaves, gobbling the tender heart. And the insanely good anchovy butter has absolutely no relation to the too-salty fish you may have had once at a takeout pizza joint. Instead, oil-packed anchovies contribute this subtle sea-salty punch that you just can't get from anything else.
Place the pan with the artichokes directly on the grate, reduce the heat to medium-high if you can (those cooking on coals won't be able to, and must monitor the water level especially closely), close the lid, and cook, adding water as needed to maintain the level at 1/4 inch. Cook until tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 30 minutes.
Elyse and I made this amazing cherry chutney for her parents when there were out. On the pork tenderloin it was amazing. Highly recommended!

Question: Treatment for facet joint pain?
What are the options for treating facet joint that has slipped slightly forward at L-4 and L-5 (as results of MRI showed)? I have tried Vioxx and stretching and strengthening exercises for 3 months.
This is most likely a degenerative spondylolisthesis. Besides medication and physical therapy, other choices to treat the spondylolisthesis would include epidural steroid injections or a one level spine fusion. Epidural injections are easier to go through, but the surgery is more reliable. Basically, if the joint has slipped, then the facet joint is degenerated and is no longer competent to stabilize the spine properly. A fusion surgery should stabilize the unstable painful joint.
Where there is no motion, there shouldn't be any more pain. Besides medications you may want to consider physical therapy and/or chiropractics. If this does not improve the pain, and it is limiting your normal level of functioning, you may want to consider epidural injections. If these do not work, a spinal fusion may be a reasonable option. Usually, surgery is only considered for patients with significant functional limitations.
