Kent Luetzen/Valley Journal Cheyagy flies to the hoop as her teammates box out their opponents.
With a current season record of 7-1, the Charlo Lady Vikings' head coach Bret Thompson is pleased with the first part of this season. What's even better is that the strengths of his team seem to be evenly distributed among the players.
Junior Cheyenne Nagy was a Second Team All Conference player last year and with one more year of court experience, results are showing. Along with her are District Honorable Mentions, seniors Mikaylan Roylance and Skyler Frame.
With an experienced and athletic squad, the girls are working on maintaining consistency throughout an entire four quarters.
With Friday night's non-conference victory over Missoula Hellgate's sub-varsity team and Saturday night's non-conference win over Darby, the Lady Vikings continue building a solid game on both ends of the court.
"I would like to see us continue to win and stay healthy so that we have a chance towards the end of our season," Thompson said.
Roylance, Lady Vikings' top scorer in Saturday night's game, is excited to see younger players making contributions.
In addition to Roylance, Nagy, and Frame, other supporting players include post Ashley Tryon, forward Brooklyn Foust, and freshmen Allie Delaney and Tyra Hammond.
With the first half of the Lady Vikings' season almost in the books, the team is looking forward to season high performances.
"We want to hit our peak at the end of the season," said Nagy.
With a 39-28 win over Darby Saturday, Jan. 9, the Lady Vikings showed their level of athleticism and teamwork, with six of the players putting up points.
Roylance led the team with 10 points, followed by Nagy and Foust each with 9. Ashley Tryon had 6 points, while Skylar Frame and Allie Delaney combined with 5.
Thursday's home game against rival Arlee — who beat Charlo in the District Championship last year — should be a good indication how well the Lady Vikings' can improve upon last year's end-of-season ranking. Following Thursday's game is another home match-up against Hot Springs on Friday, Jan. 15.
Charlo Lady Vikings' Senior Recognition Night will be held Saturday, Jan. 23.
Charlo – Points: Cheyenne Nagy 22, Mikaylan Roylance 9, Ashley Tryon 4, Sakoya Gaustad 4, Brooklyn Foust 2, Telesa Truman 2, Skyler Frame 1. 3-pointers: Nagy 2, Roylance 1.
Charlo – Points: Roylance 10, Nagy 9, Foust 9, Tryon 6, Frame 4, Delaney 1. 3-pointers: Nagy 1, Foust 1.

Why was this question asked?
This important public health question was identified by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) to be examined by the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.
How was this question answered?
The 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, Dietary Fats and Seafood Subcommittee, conducted a systematic review to answer this question with support from the Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review (NESR) team.
What is the population of interest?
Generally healthy children and adolescents from birth to 18 years at the time of the exposure and children and adolescents from 2 years to 18 years and adults 19 years and older at the time of the outcome.
What evidence was found?
This review includes 13 articles.
Seafood intake during childhood and adolescence had a predominantly beneficial or null relationship across developmental domains, specifically in cognitive development, language and communication development, and movement and physical development.
However, no conclusion regarding the relationship between seafood intake during childhood and adolescence and developmental domains could be drawn due to an inadequate number of studies, inconsistency in results, risk of bias in classification of exposures, and heterogeneity of outcome assessments.
No conclusion regarding the relationship between seafood intake during childhood and adolescence and academic performance, attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and depression, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) could be drawn due to an inadequate number of studies.
How up-to-date is this systematic review?
This review searched for studies from January, 2000 to October, 2019.

Technical Abstract
The 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, Dietary Fats and Seafood Subcommittee conducted a systematic review to answer this question with support from the Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review (NESR) team.
The goal of this systematic review was to examine the following question: What is the relationship between seafood consumption during childhood and adolescence (up to 18 years of age) and neurocognitive development?
Conclusion statements and grades
A literature search was conducted using four databases (i.e., PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and CINAHL) to identify published literature that evaluated the intervention or exposure of seafood consumption during childhood and adolescence and the outcome of neurocognitive development. A manual search was conducted to identify articles that may not have been included in the electronic databases searched. Articles were screened by two NESR analysts independently for inclusion based on pre-determined criteria.
Data extraction and risk of bias assessment were conducted for each included study, and both were checked for accuracy. The Committee qualitatively synthesized the body of evidence to inform development of conclusion statements, and graded the strength of evidence using pre-established criteria for risk of bias, consistency, directness, precision, and generalizability.
Summary of the evidence
This review includes 13 articles, six articles from three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and seven articles from six prospective cohort studies (PCSs), published between January 2000 and October 2019.
The 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee used the following seafood definition: marine animals that live in the sea and in freshwater lakes and rivers. Seafood includes fish (e.g., salmon, tuna, trout, and tilapia) and shellfish (e.g., shrimp, crab, and oysters).
The majority of studies addressed developmental domains – cognitive development (seven articles), language and communication development (five articles), movement and physical development (two articles), and social-emotional and behavioral development (three articles).
No conclusion regarding the relationship between seafood intake during childhood and adolescence and developmental domains could be drawn due to an inadequate number of studies, inconsistency in results, risk of bias in classification of exposures, and heterogeneity of outcome assessments.
Seafood intake during childhood and adolescence had a predominantly beneficial or null relationship across all domains, and had a few detrimental relationships, primarily in social-emotional and behavioral development.
Results from three RCTs found that three fatty fish meals per week (~50-80 grams per meal) compared to meat meals for 12 weeks in adolescents or 16 weeks in children had a predominantly null effect on developmental domain outcomes.
Results from three PCSs generally found a beneficial association between fish intake in children and adolescents and developmental domains.
The vast majority of analyses showed no detrimental relationship between seafood intake during childhood and adolescence and cognitive, language and communication, and movement and physical development.
No conclusion regarding the relationship between seafood consumption during childhood and adolescence and academic performance, attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and depression, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) could be drawn due to an inadequate number of studies and variation in outcome assessment and child age.

Update 10/03/2015: All current PvE events have been updated for their revamped formats. Suggestions for additonal information/corrections/etc. are welcome.
There are Main nodes to open up the sub-events. These nodes are one time only nodes.
The 3 one-time only nodes must be won before the other 6 regular (repeatable) nodes are available.
Unique Reward(s): Hulk Green Cover - There is a one-time main node that will give a Hulk green cover as a reward. This node is unlocked after the fourth sub-event when Hulk joins forces with you.
One node in Main (a team-up node) is repeatable and playable for points throughout the event.
Aside from the nodes to open up the sub-events, there are additional one-time only nodes in main that open up at various points during the event.
Six one-time only nodes open up after sub-event 7 is opened. Three of these nodes require Punisher as an essential character. One of the nodes require the 2* featured character as the essential character. The other two nodes have no character requirements.
Unique Reward(s): High ISO Reward - In each sub-event, a one-time node with a high ISO reward is unlocked after the other non-essential nodes are completed.
Unique Reward(s): Sentry Red Cover - One node in the final sub-event (Thunderbolts Mountain) gives a red Sentry cover as a reward. This node is unlocked as soon as the player completes all other non-essential nodes in the sub-event.
Sub-Event 5: SHIELD Base: Washington, D.C.
There are 3 paths after beating the opening node. From left to right, these paths have easy nodes, normal nodes, and hard nodes; the nodes in the normal path are one time only nodes; the nodes in the easy and hard paths are repeatable.
There are Main nodes to open up the sub-events. These nodes are team-up nodes. The first sub-event's main node is repeatable for points only while Sub-Event 1 is open. All other main nodes to open the sub-events are one time only nodes.
This event introduced "Survival Mode". This is a node with waves of enemies. The number of waves per node and number of enemies per wave varies. Points are gained after each wave.
Some wave nodes throughout the event give unique rewards of 1000 ISO or an EotS Recruit Token.
The one-time only node (Rescue Aunt May) has a 500 ISO reward.
The one-time only node (Rescue Mary Jane) has a 500 ISO reward.
Unique Reward(s): 2000 ISO Reward - In each sub-event, the final node on the left branch has a 2000 ISO reward.
Total number of sub-events and overall length of the event has varied.
Unique Reward(s): 50 Hero Points; 2500 ISO - The final node in the first sub-event will award 50 Hero Points. The final node in the second sub-event will award 2500 ISO.
Enemy types vary from event to event and are drawn from the entire roster of characters.
There are 3 maps in the event. Beating the last non-essential node on each map opens up the next map.
There are only individual progression rewards; no placement awards (individual or alliance).
**Update: One run of the event implemented individual placement awards for fastest completion time in addition to the progression awards. The top 10 players in brackets of 10000 got an event token 10-pack; the rest of the bracket received a Standard token. There were no alliance placement awards.
Points are awarded once per node. Nodes are repeatable but only to collect the additional ISO/token/boost awards.
Points are fixed; there is no rubberbanding in this event. Scaling is set at the start of the event based on your roster strength. Some individual scaling does still seem to exist as enemy levels have increased during the event for some players.
There are 5 nodes total on two paths.
The first path is 3 nodes long; on the first node you can only use 1* characters; on the second node (a survival node) you can use 1* or 2* characters; on the third node you can only use 2* characters. Rewards are ISO and a Taco Token.
The second path is 2 nodes long; on the first node, which rewards the player a Taco Token, there is an essential 3* character; the second node (a survival node) will award a single cover of that 3* character. A different 3* character will be the essential/reward each day.
Every 5th day, an additional node ("Crash of the Titans") is available. This is a one-on-one fight between a 4* character and an opponent (at level 270) chosen by the developers. Winning the fight awards a Legendary Token. The player can use boosts but cannot use team-ups in this fight.
This is an alliance co-op PvE. You must join an alliance before starting the event. The first 20 players to join the event while in a single alliance will play the event together.
NOTE: the 21st player to join the PvE in the alliance will be playing on a new leaderboard (apart from the first 20 players), so alliances must be VERY careful to ensure only 20 players join the PvE under any single alliance.
If a player moves to alliance B after starting the event while a member of alliance A, the player will still be competing in the Avengers vs Ultron PvE under alliance A with the rest of the players who joined the PvE while in alliance A. NOTE: at least one player should remain in alliance A for the full run of the Avengers vs Ultron PvE; there have been problems in the past when temporary alliances were formed for this PvE and then completely abandoned before the event was completed.
There are two chapter buttons for the event; "Avengers vs Ultron" and "Ultron Prime"
Ultron's total health displays at the top in a global progress bar. All 20 members of your alliance will work to deplete Ultron's health.
The center node is the fight against Ultron. Ultron's total health will go down by inflicting damage to Ultron while fighting this node (win or lose). After fighting this node, it will be locked for 8 hours or until the player wins one of the five surrounding essential nodes.
The five surrounding essential nodes are wave/survival missions. These nodes unlock on a fixed 8 hour schedule from the start of the PvE regardless of when you last played them. Two of these five nodes require the same boosted/featured character and will remain constant throughout the event; the other three nodes will rotate between the rest of the boosted/featured characters on each refresh.
There are 8 rounds; each round an alliance wins will unlock a pin in the "Ultron Prime" chapter.
There are 8 nodes on this map. Each node is unlocked by the alliance winning a round in "Avengers vs. Ultron" (i.e. depleting Ultron's global health bar).
The last 3 nodes reward 3* or 4* character covers (one cover of each color).
There are no placement awards in this PvE (individual or alliance). There are progression awards in each of the 8 rounds of "Avengers vs. Ultron". There are also a good number of event token rewards available by winning against individual nodes in both the "Avengers vs. Ultron" and "Ultron Prime" maps.
For further reference, lukewin put together a post linking to the individual event threads here: List of PvE Threads for easy access to check prior awards/buffed characters/enemies/etc.
Also see notamutant's Compendium of PvEs for plot summaries.
For the events with main nodes after subs end, with the main nodes being one-time only (seems like a recent trend), maybe you can add a note saying that the one-time only nodes on the main have constant point values no matter how high or low you are in ranking (meaning you can do them at any time).
Thanks, flnn1, added a note to that effect.
Also updated with ISO-8 Brotherhood information.
I like this. Rb history for events would be helpful in making this the mack daddy if pve guides.
Thanks! Rubberbanding is such a moving target, though, as the devs keep making tweaks, I'm not sure how I'd go about documenting it.
All you could realistically do is cite the historical examples and note that they're subject to constant change.
why is this not updated and stickied?
The Deadpool PvE information was already in the main post from the last run so I didn't need to make any updates. If I find that there are any changes, though, I'll update them. Right now the only PvEs that still need to be filled in are The Hunt and Prodigal Sun, and I was waiting til D3 re-runs those events to make sure the info is accurate.
As for getting the thread stickied, I don't know how that's handled; but given the number of stickies already in this forum I'm wondering if it might be worth it to try and combine the PvE guides somehow.
From what I'm hearing, the "no community scaling" in Gauntlet is incorrect.
All in all, this is an excellent resource.
I really should have known that 'no scaling' bit was wishful thinking. Thanks, updated.
Updated with Prodigal Sun info.
The Unstable ISO-8 section was updated with more information about node refreshes. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on clarifying that section; I'm not sure how it will read to players unfamiliar with the PvE.
Updated with information for the Hunt. Let me know if anything is missing/incomplete. Side node: I actually have the names of the one time only/repeatable/essential nodes for each sub but decided putting them in the main post would be overkill. If people really want to have them, let me know and I'll add a separate post with them.
Also, with the Hunt done this guide is now complete! (Until a new PvE event is run, that is.) Thanks to everyone who rated this post -- hope you find it as useful as I do.
Any chance you have the info on alliance rewards for subs? Or just info on where the cutoff is for Hero Points in the subs? All I can remember is Thick as Thieves and Iso-8 Brotherhood are Top 50 gets 50HP individual and alliances get event tokens top 200 I think. Those events are my favorite because they help expand my roster the fastest, and for my alliance the newer players need so much HP for their spots to have 1 cover guys for the essential nodes in other PvEs. Hopefully you do since you mentioned having the names of nodes.
Those two events we should get next with maybe a Heroic or Simulator in between. I think this may be the last run through the episode before that new mode (new episode?) they teased as testing our mettle. I didn't even notice that PvE run in a set order through the Episodes before reading this guide. Great work!
I do have the info on whether or not there were alliance rewards in the sub-events at all and that's been added to the post, but I don't have the information about the entire reward structure. Those details are usually listed in the first post of the event thread and are added when the event starts.
If you want to check that for past events, there is this partial list of links to individual event threads created by darkmagearcanis. Current and Past PVE Listings Unfortunately, it seems that this is no longer being updated.
Updated because alliance rewards were removed from the Simulator sub-events.
There are 3 distinct subs that are run through twice.
Main nodes open when a global progress bar is filled.
Main nodes are only playable once after they open and have no rubberbanding.
A section for the Meet Rocket & Groot event has been added; information will be updated as the event progresses.
Updated Meet Rocket & Groot sub-event length information.

Airline Catering Workers Connect Poverty Wages to Corporate Greed
Thousands of the subcontracted workers who prepare and deliver in-flight meals are demanding better pay and healthcare from the multi-billion dollar airline industry.
Blogging Our Great Divide
by Jarod Facundo
Airline catering workers are banding together this summer with a clear message: one job should be enough. Thousands of the subcontracted workers who prepare and deliver in-flight meals are voting to go on strike, demanding better pay and healthcare from the multi-billion dollar airline industry.
Workers from around the country came together for a picket line on July 23 at Washington National Airport, joined by elected officials and other allies. Their specific target was American Airlines, one of the many airlines profiting off their labor by contracting out their food and beverage needs to companies that pay workers poor wages. The protest is one of the dozens of actions workers have held in recent weeks as they move closer to a strike, thanks to unsuccessful negotiations with the subcontractors that employ them.
Stephanie Kopnang, an airline catering worker from Dallas, spoke with Inequality.org about the poverty wages many of the workers in her kitchen receive — sometimes as little as under $10 an hour. Yet workers still must pay hefty out-of-pocket fees for healthcare, which can be untenable given the poor pay. "By the end of the month, you are going to be homeless," Kopnang said. "That's the reason we are fed up. We need one job in our life and that should be enough."
Senator Bernie Sanders agreed. "It is not acceptable that two-thirds of workers here in the gourmet industry, food-preparing industry, are making less than $15 an hour. It is not acceptable that only one-third of the workers here are getting company health insurance."
Rep. Rashida Tlaib connected the workers' low pay to corporate greed in an industry with record profits. "If they can't help you provide for your family, then something is wrong," Tlaib told the crowd. "Don't you let anybody ever make you feel like you don't deserve this."
UNITE HERE, the union representing the catering workers employed by LSG Sky Chefs, is seeking government agency approval that would allow for a strike. Though negotiations take place with the subcontractors, workers say the airlines must also take responsibility for worker conditions. The practice of subcontracting allows companies like American Airlines to escape accountability. While airlines might try to absolve themselves from the poor conditions brought upon by the companies they subcontract from, organizers argue they still hold immense power in the negotiation process.
That's why, as Kopnang told Inequality.org, it's important to bring the fight to the companies that ultimately allow those conditions to continue. "We will be in Dallas [on August 13]. The hometown where American Airlines lives." While American Airlines has dropped massive sums on a flashy new campus, Kopnang points out, the caterers who prepare the meals on the airlines can't pay their rent.
That kind of greed hurts workers across the industry. American Airlines alone pulled in $1.9 billion in profits in 2018, even as their subcontracted workers aren't paid a living wage. Other airline industry workers, who joined them in solidarity at the protest, could relate.
"[American Airlines] outsourced these jobs," Sara Nelson, the president of the Association of Flight Attendants, told the crowd. "They set up a scam where they can have contractors bid against each other for the lowest price. We know your scam because you used it on flight attendants too."
Captain Joe DePete, the president of the airline pilot's union, told the crowd that the fight for $15 an hour in the richest country in the world is not a radical demand. A fair wage is a necessary precursor to the "safety, and dignity of work."
Senator Elizabeth Warren echoed DePete's remarks to a roaring crowd. "This is not a fight for just the workers here. This is a fight for all of America. It is a fight for fair wages. It is a fight for healthcare. It is a fight for dignity," Warren said. "The people on the frontlines are locked in poverty. This is why we fight back."

Fairmont Presidents Club (FPC) is less about rewarding spend and more about customizing the onsite experience (I did score a four night stay in Barbados from them for spending 61 nights in a year along with 4 other free nights and several meals, so it is somewhat rewarding). Since free nights are awarded based on number of nights stayed, not dollars spent, this model doesn't work for a credit card points program. Rather than fit into FPC, Chase made up their own program. I confirmed with Fairmont that FPC is not switching to Chase's model and all hotels will be ranked the same in FPC. I don't think Chase's chart is the most rewarding award chat around, but it isn't terrible. The sign up bonus is two free nights, not bad, but I don't need to stay at a Fairmont any time soon, so I won't get the card. Also, The Plaza in New York has special rules constraining awards, so don't plan on booking a free night there soon.
Here's the trick for booking The Plaza. There is a limited number of free nights Fairmont is allotted at The Plaza per month. You can call Fairmont, find a month that's open, usually six or more out, and book a room for the number of nights you want. This holds those free nights for you. Call back later and shift the reservation to another time that month when your plans are finalized, the nights are yours and you can use them any time that month. There is no fee and as long as standard rooms are available on your new dates, no hassle.

Serotype conversion in Vibrio cholerae O1

Vibrio cholerae O1 exists as two major serotypes, Inaba and Ogawa, which are associated with the O antigen of the lipopolysaccharide and are capable of unequal reciprocal interconversion. The 20-kilobase rfb regions encoding O-antigen biosynthesis in strains 569B (Inaba) and O17 (Ogawa) have been cloned in Escherichia coli K-12 and the nucleotide sequences have been determined. Besides several base substitutions and a small deletion in the 569B sequence relative to O17, there is a single nucleotide change resulting in a TGA stop codon within the gene for the 32-kDa RfbT protein. We have demonstrated that rfbT is responsible for serotype conversion (Inaba to Ogawa). The construction of a specific rfbT mutation in the Ogawa strain O17, and the ability of the gene from O17 to complement Inaba strains to Ogawa, confirmed rfbT as the gene required for the Ogawa serotype. By Southern hybridization and sequencing of PCR products of a number of strains, we have shown that the changes observed in one Inaba strain (569B) are not conserved in other Inaba strains. This may explain why some Inaba strains are able to convert to Ogawa whereas others are not. The protein encoded by rfbT has been identified and expressed in E. coli K-12 using a phage T7 expression system. Amino-terminal analysis of partially purified protein has identified the translational start of the protein. Primer extension studies have enabled the 5' end of the mRNA to be defined. It exists as a separate transcript from the rest of the rfb region, and the distinctive G + C content of rfbT suggests that it has been acquired from a non-Vibrio source.

Scottish Theatre to develop toolkit to combat abuse
The Federation of Scottish Theatre will take the lead in supporting the theatre sector in Scotland to take practical steps against the abuse of power, including bullying, harassment and sexual abuse, in the industry.
FST is today issuing an open call to participate in a series of workshops to develop codes of practice and guidance for the performing arts in Scotland to combat abuse in and around the workplace. FST's Chair and the Chief Executive of the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Alex McGowan, said: 'There can be no place in our sector for abuse. FST is well placed to bring together the resources, experience and expertise of our membership to develop a toolkit that will help us to ensure that we create safe spaces for creativity to flourish in all our work places.'
FST is the development body for professional dance, opera and theatre in Scotland, bringing the sector together to speak with a collective voice, to share resources and expertise and to promote collaborative working. We are working with other industry bodies including Equity and UK Theatre to ensure our responses are co-ordinated, productive and cover the range of voices we need to inform this work.
Senior figures in the industry warmly welcomed this approach:
Jude Doherty, Chief Executive, Producer & Co-Artistic Director of Grid Iron Theatre, said:'Everyone is entitled to feel safe, valued and respected in their working and social environments. In our industry, where work and social occasions are so often intertwined and where we have so many people working in a freelance capacity, it is particularly important that we have a robust code of practice and a framework for reporting that leaves no-one exposed or unsupported. As a member of FST, Grid Iron support the call for our industry to band together to ensure that the performing arts sector in Scotland is no place for harassment, bullying or exploitation.'
Lu Kemp, Artistic Director of Perth Theatre, said:'This moment in time could signal a seismic shift in how we, as a society, think about power. It is right and meet that we lead in responding, as a sector, in action as well as words. At Perth Theatre, Horsecross Arts, we look forward to rigorously examining our own practice, and challenging what too often goes unseen and unexposed. We depend on the guidance of the FST, and on the shared learning of our colleagues across the sector, to help us develop best practice.'
Jemima Levick, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Stellar Quines Theatre Company, said:'Over the past few months, we have all heard horrifying and heart-breaking revelations that shed light on the darker side of our industry. Now we have shared, it is time for action and change. FST's leadership on this matter will enable us to collectively decide on and bring about useful, lasting processes and policies that assist us in finding the language to call this behaviour out.'
Belinda McElhinney, Producer of Barrowlands Ballet, and Vicky Rutherford O'Leary, Producer of Curious Seed, said: 'Although the focus of press coverage to date has been on film and theatre, it is vital that the issues shared with, and specific to, dance are fully recognised and addressed. Recent research has demonstrated a wide range of challenges, from subtle feelings of disrespect, to clear examples of deeply rooted patterns of manipulative and abusive practices. Now is the moment to come together with FST and our wider community to make real change.'
Orla O'Loughlin, Artistic Director of the Traverse Theatre, said:'It is only by making the abuses of power within our industry visible that we can have the conversation that can lead to change. By coming together as a sector, we have it within our power to generate, and hold a safe space for, a vital conversation about how to make the environment in which we work safe and fair for all. At this tipping point moment it is crucial that we are ready to take a long hard look at where we are as an industry and how we can work together to ensure things are better in the future.'
Andrew Panton, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Dundee Rep, said:'We strongly support all endeavours to eradicate any abuses of power in our places of work. We must show solidarity at this moment of heightened awareness and support the FST in ensuring safeguards and guidelines are put in place.'
Alex Reedijk, General Director of Scottish Opera, said:'We wholeheartedly support the Federation of Scottish Theatre's initiative to lead and co-ordinate a practical and effective response to combat abuse across our sector. It is imperative that we work together to ensure a safe and supportive working environment for everyone in our industry, and FST is perfectly placed to lead the collaborative development of appropriate codes of practice, guidance and safeguards.'
Jackie Wylie, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of the National Theatre of Scotland, said:'It is of vital importance that FST and Scottish Theatre sector come together to address issues around abuse and harassment within the culture sector. In tackling these issues the cultural sector, as a public platform for discussion, can also lead the way in generating further debate and action across society. This is a moment of potential social change and like other historic shifts progress can only happen if we act together. The National Theatre of Scotland is committed to ensuring that workplaces, theatres and rehearsal rooms are safe spaces for artists, practitioners, freelancers and employees, where abuse of any kind is not tolerated.'

One goal: a powerful, compact drill rig for geothermal drillings that can be transported on a 7.5 tons truck – one name: ROTOMAX XL GT. A chuck head 178 mm in diameter, a separate gearbox each for the inner rods and the casings, the excellent operating comfort and the total weight of only 7.5 tons are the decisive factors for the XL GT`s success story. Furthermore, this power pack with 26 kNm has slender dimensions. With the aid of its adjustable undercarriage, the drill rig even fits through passages that are 1.40 m slim – on rubber crawler tracks, of course. The combination between such flexibility and the advanced machine technology sets the standard in this category.


Are you applying with your main?
I'm applying with my main and will bring my primary alt.
I have been in a guild raid team before, yes. It was in the days of BC and WoTLK. I mainly recall the careful preparation: reading strategies, watching videos, obtaining consumables and planning the pull and CC. I also remember countless wipes, many followed by minor adjustments to the team's strategy. I also remember the adrenaline rush and outcries when a boss reached low hp and eventually died for the first time. All in all I remember great times with some great people.
Why do you want to leave your last guild?
My current guild consists of a handful of friends and me. Since half of those friends has recently unsubsribed and the other half is fairly inactive, I found myself yearning for more social interaction during my hours online.
Indeed I have and I agree to follow them.
I can try whatever is necessary. Of course this application is for a social spot and I won't be raiding in the near future.
I could meet those, but again I won't be raiding.
I saw some of your players online a fair few times and I never had any problems with them. When I was browsing for a new guild I came across your name and took an interest. I take pride in the guild I'm part of, even when I'm but a social member. You seem like a guild of people that really give it their best during those hours of raiding.
We've now come to the reason I'm submitting this application form. If you accept me as a fellow guild member you have a right to know who you're dealing with, so I'll briefly introduce myself.
As you can read above my name is Livin Hoen. I'm a 24 year old guy from the Netherlands. For the next few years I'll be attending Tilburg University for my study in Communication- and Informationmanagement. During my spare time I like to read, run, go to the gym and play board- and videogames. When it comes to videogames I'm mainly interested in RPG's.
My WoW 'career' started in february of 2007 when - along with a few friends - I created a trial account. Soon I was dedicated to the game and made my way to level 70. I had barely gotten out of my greens as Feral tank when a fellow guild member asked if I could fill in as healer for his raid team in Karazhan. When I told him I didn't have any gear he told me I could just buy some greens as he really needed the help. I ended up joining, doing my best to play a spec I was unfamiliar with in horrible gear. Apparently I didn't fail too hard as I stayed part of that raid team up till the release of Ulduar, when the team disbanded. Soon I had obtained gear for every druid spec and was raiding with the 25 man team, which I was part of till the launch of ICC. Due to both time constraints and failing hardware I was forced to resign and I haven't truly raided since. When the guild met with its inevitable demise in '12 I quit the game altogether. I briefly returned for MoP and resubscribed once again about 2 months ago. I created a new character on a new server and soon ended up missing my druid and transferring it as alt. Nowadays I mainly spend my time online doing the Apexis grind and farming old raid instances for mounts. Boy do I love mounts..
If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask them.
I hope to see you in-game soon.
Thanks for the application. We'll have a quick chat within the council and let you know our decision, but in all honesty as you are only applying as a social this is just a formality; we LOVE social members and I'm sure everyone will agree that you are most welcome.
Good to see a social application here, Treehealz quickly briefed me. We will get back to you soon.
Heya! I'm not sure whom you've connected with in our guild but I take pride in reading your application!


CollegeMobile: What is Open Data?
CollegeMobile is proud to host a forum in Saskatoon entitled: An Open Discussion About Open Data on May 23. We've got a number of Saskatoon city managers coming, and are hoping that the development community will respond with insightful and constructive ideas.
I'm writing this from the perspective of a developer, and I'm operating from the standpoint of Open Data being a Good Thing. With that being said, there are questions that should be asked before a municipality embarks on the Open Data journey.
Here's the Wikipedia definition of Open Data: Open data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control.
I'm going to start at the front of that statement and work my way to the back. First of all, the use of the words "certain data" implies that we're not talking about ALL data. That's important, because not all data is meant to be shared with the public. We wouldn't necessarily want to publish everyone's water usage bills, or how many parking tickets a person has received. We make a distinction between private and public data. We only want the public data. The question of what constitutes public and private data is definitely out of the scope of this article.
The next part of the sentence states: "… should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish …". This bit is self-explanatory, but is also pretty central to the concept. The public data that we mentioned above should be made accessible to anyone who wants it.
The last section: "… without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control." makes the 'openness' of the data more explicit. Note that it doesn't say: "without any form of control". It's ok to have a licence attached to the data, especially if you want to protect yourself from liability. The licence should allow the user to use the data for any purpose, and not restrict the usage in any way.
So, what is Open Data? It's making public information available to anyone who wants it, for any purpose they might want it for. Simple, right?
Which data should be Open Sourced?
The obvious answer that would come to most developers' minds would be, "All of it, of course." While this would be great, it's probably not practical. For starters, municipalities need to spend money getting their datasets in order, and converting them into useful formats. The datasets need to be maintained, lest the data becomes stale.
The Open Data Handbook has some good ideas when it comes to figuring out which data should be opened up first. The main point is that community involvement is the best way to go. In addition, you should start small, and move quickly. Get a couple of datasets up as fast as you can, and build from there. Gather feedback from the community as to how the datasets are working, and what people would like to see next.
Which format should the data be in?
Once again, the Open Data Handbook has good advice. The data should be available in bulk, and it should be machine-readable.
Most of these formats are similar, in that they follow open, well-established standards for containing data, and generally don't include any information for how the data should be formatted. APIs are a different animal, and are possibly the gold standard for developers. APIs are great for ever-changing data that needs to be accessed quickly, but they have their downsides too. They have to be maintained, and the bandwidth costs can be considerable. For instance; if an API becomes very popular, who pays for the data to be accessed? Google had this problem when they created their maps and translation APIs. Everything was fine at first, but eventually Google had to start charging for access, as it was very expensive to keep up with the bandwidth. If API maintenance is prohibitively expensive, it might be useful to start with static datasets, that can be massaged and clubbed together by the community.
logos, letterheads, headers and footers may be great on paper, but are detrimental in the context of data analysis.
The bottom line is: whatever data is in the catalogue, it needs to be consumable by a computer. Any format that includes formatting (think of a PDF with a letterhead on top) is going to be less useful. While PDF data is ok for someone just trying to learn one or two facts, it's very inconvenient for developers trying to mash datasets together.
How do we create a solid Open Data Catalogue?
Start small. Release a small number of datasets. Connect with the development community in order to choose which ones, because the developers are the ones who are going to connect your data with the public at large, by building databases, apps, and websites that take advantage of the data you're releasing.
Use analytics to measure which datasets are popular, but don't make the mistake of thinking that low-usage datasets are low-usefulness. You can't be assured that every person who accesses the data will be getting it directly from you. A developer might download your map of neighbourhood boundary data, then write an API that allows others to access it. Your data catalogue might be the original source of the data, but it's not necessarily going to be the only one, or even the most popular one. Accept the fact that once the data is out there, it's going to be used in ways you might not expect.
To get a better picture of which data is useful, continue engagement with the community. Read their blogs, retweet their tweets, and host hackathons. Feel free to copy liberally from other Open Data Catalogues. If other cities have got a good mix of datasets, consider that these might be good candidates for the next phase of your data release.
Governments and developers are heading into uncharted territory with Open Data. Nobody knows exactly what the possibilities are, nor where the pitfalls lie. So communication is going to be essential.
To learn more, feel free to attend the Open Discussion About Open Data on May 23.

Category: Capital One Cup
Monday Night Football: Blackpool v Huddersfield Town
On paper, this evening's match looks like a good one – the Tangerines have started well and already look like genuine promotion candidates and while none of the clubs promoted from League 1 look as if they're going to emulate Norwich and Southampton this season, Huddersfield look as if they're the best prepared for the long haul. Simon Grayson knows his way around the Championship and with a reported figure of £8 million in the war chest following the sale of Jordan Rhodes to Blackburn, funds could be available for the Christmas transfer window.
There should be a few goals at Bloomfield Road later – in the last 20 meetings in the league going back to the mid 1950s there's been an average of exactly three goals per game – but the advantage clearly belongs to the hosts. Ian Holloway's side have only lost only lost twice at home in the Championship in almost a year and although the Terriers were beaten at Cardiff in the first game of the season, it's probably fair to say they've not been tested yet. Their three wins so far have come against teams currently in the bottom half of the table.
Talking of Cardiff, regular readers over the last couple of years probably won't need any reminding of how many times the Bluebirds Redbirds have been given an opportunity to establish themselves at the top of the table – and how many times they've screwed it up completely. Well, it's not even the end of September and they're at it again: last Saturday they blew a two goal lead at Crystal Palace as Glen Murray scored a hat-trick at Selhurst Park. Hull lost at Leicester yesterday which means that Brighton may be two points clear for a little while longer after beating Millwall on Saturday: they were already two goals up before Chris Taylor was sent off for a foul on Tomasz Kuszczak.
At the bottom, Peterborough are so far off the pace at the moment that I'll only mention them in future if they drag themselves out of the bottom three, but Charlton's win at Ipswich prompted a lot of speculation about whether Harry Redknapp might be on the point of taking over from Paul Jewell at Portman Road.
There was no doubt about the surprise result of the weekend: Birmingham City hadn't conceded more than four goals in a competitive game at St Andrew's since Liverpool won 7-0 in an FA Cup tie in March 2006 and you have to go back even further to find the last time that happened in a league game…although Barnsley scored five there in October 1988! Craig Davies alone managed to almost double the amount of goals Barnsley had scored this season in a game that rapidly turned into the Tykes against Jack Butland and ten statues and any thoughts Blues fans might have about promotion should be put on the back burner.
This week also sees the third round of the Capital One Cup, but there are only five Championship clubs left in the competition and three of them play opposition from the Premier League. Burnley and Middlesbrough arguably stand the best chance of qualifying for the next round, but they have tricky away games at Swindon and Preston respectively and it wouldn't come as a massive shock if none of the second tier clubs got through. However, Leeds will get the chance to show what they're made of when they entertain Everton tomorrow night (Sky Sports 2, 7:45pm).
With a couple of exceptions, it's back to 3pm kick offs on Saturday: at time of writing I've not been able to establish why Brighton's game against Birmingham is a 5:30pm kick off but on Sunday lunchtime it's the next episode of Derby v Nottingham Forest. I'll be back on Friday evening with a weekend preview, but until then have a good week and don't forget your raincoat.

Will Blackpool Be Going Fox Hunting Later?
It's worth starting with Blackpool once again, primarily because they're the only side with a 100% record in the league – although there are currently also four other undefeated teams – and they feature in the only televised game this weekend, when they travel to Leicester (5:20pm SS2) so you can make up your own minds about Ian Holloway's team. I've already commented on Blackpool several times this season (and I have a feeling they'll be featuring a lot this season), so how about the joint pre-season favourites? After their opening day win over Peterborough, Leicester have lost three in a row including a 4-2 home defeat to Burton Albion in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday – and a three game losing streak hasn't happened to the Foxes since March 2010.
Other than that It's the last weekend before the first international break of the season and oddly all of the top six are away from home and five of the bottom six are at home, so I'd expect there'll be a few teams determined to do well going into what is effectively a fortnight off. Birmingham v Peterborough was almost game of the week – the Blues seem to be suffering from a classic playoff hangover while Posh are already up against it having lost all three of their league games so far.
Game of the week is Leeds v Blackburn – they've not met in the second tier for over 20 years and with both sides looking to return to Premier League in May this game could be crucial to the ambitions of both teams. Rovers need to overcome their recent history at Leeds: they have only only won once in their last 20 trips to Elland Road. There might be a few goals in this game: Argentine striker Luciano Becchio has already scored three times this term (he's already on target to beat last season's 11 goal haul), while Colin Kazim-Richards' five year trip round Europe obviously hasn't diminished his goalscoring ability – he's already scored twice for Blackburn.
As for the Capital One Cup, the second round was a total disaster. Only five teams are left in the draw for the third round and with three of them being drawn against opposition from the Premier League it wouldn't come as much of a surprise if none of them are left in the competition before Christmas, but I'll take a closer look at their chances towards the end of the month.

Capital One Cup 2nd Round
After the usual mixed bag of first round results, the second round of the newly christened Capital One Cup takes place this week with sixteen of the 24 Championship clubs involved.
Although the draw ensured there'd be no guaranteed third round places, there might be a few surprises. A couple of seasons ago Bolton were in the Premier League whilst Crawley Town were playing in the Conference, but Crawley have a lot of experience of beating Championship teams in cup competitions – Hull, Bristol City and Derby can all vouch for that.
Preston and Crystal Palace were both in the Championship in 2010/11 and Deepdale hasn't been the happiest of hunting grounds for the Eagles in recent years, with only two wins in their last ten visits. Nottingham Forest entertain Wigan at the City Ground and Fulham visit Hillsborough for the first time since they beat Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup almost four years ago.
At the other end of the scale, both Barnsley (at Swansea) and Peterborough (at Reading) look as if they may have to concentrate on the league until the 3rd Round of the FA Cup comes round, but you never know.
The only televised game from the Capital One Cup is Thursday evening's game between Northampton Town and Wolves at Sixfields (SS1, 7:45pm), which is a repeat of last season's second round tie in the same competition. Wolves won that game 4-0.
I'll be back on Friday with a look at the weekend's fixtures but don't be too surprised if I mention Blackpool in the first paragraph.

Early Season Winners And Losers
Tonight is the first of six midweek rounds before Christmas and game of the night is Leeds' trip to Blackpool, which is the only match between clubs that both won on Saturday. Leeds haven't won at Bloomfield Road since March 1967, but that's deceptive as they've only played three games there since and last season's single goal defeat was the first time they'd played the Tangerines in the league since 1971!
A brace from Tom Ince earned Ian Holloway's side all three points at Millwall on Saturday while Luciano Becchio scored the only goal at Elland Road in the narrow win over Wolves. Although both sides have got off to a good start in the league, Leeds have won both of their competitive games so far this season, which already puts them into an elite group: only six other Championship clubs have done that – that group includes Barnsley, who many people (including myself) wrote off before the season started.
From a wider perspective, the poor showing in the Capital One cup wasn't a massive surprise – it's possibly a bigger surprise that there are more teams left in the competition after the first round than there have been in the last two seasons. Cardiff City – runners up in 2011/12 – were knocked out by Northampton Town last week while six other clubs who played in the Championship last season were also eliminated.
At the other end of the scale, five clubs have failed to win either of their opening games in either the league or the Carling Cup: that group includes one team that had a top ten finish last season (Brighton, who have yet to score) as well as Millwall and Bristol City, who were amongst the strugglers last season. Brighton have a tough looking game at home to Cardiff tonight, while Millwall and Bristol City both face teams that also lost on Saturday: the Lions visit Peterborough and the Robins entertain Crystal Palace – who conceded two late goals at home to Watford, giving Gianfranco Zola his first win as a manager at Championship level.
Tomorrow night Blackburn face Hull for the first time since both clubs were in the Premier League (a single goal from Martin Olsson settled that game) and on Friday night Nottingham Forest visit Bolton (Sky Sports 2, 7:45pm), but I'll take a closer look at that game on Friday afternoon.

Barack Obama's pastor speaks at Simpson
Simpson College officials have given the college's "Carver Medal" to the black Chicago minister who is Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's pastor.
This past Sunday, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright seemed to wade into the campaign tit-for-tat between Obama and rival Hillary Clinton. Wright told his Chicago congregation that Bill Clinton had done the same thing to African Americans that he did to Monica Lewinsky. On Thursday night at Simpson, Reverend Wright never mentioned the Clintons or Obama. "This comes as a major surprise and shock to many of our members, but God is neither a Democrat or a Republican," Wright said, sparking laughter in the crowd. "…There were no Caucuses, not even in Iowa — there wasn't even an Iowa when Jesus was on the face of the Earth."
In 1972, Wright took over a United Church of Christ congregation in Chicago that had 87 families on the membership roll. Today, the church has more than 8000 members and its work in mission and outreach was cited by Simpson College officials as they gave Wright the award named for inventor George Washington Carver.
Carver was a Simpson student who went on to Iowa State College and became Iowa State's first black faculty member in 1894. "George Washington Carver is named after a slaveholder. George Washington held slaves. God set the captives free. Thomas Jefferson raped a black teenager — an oppressor — but God helped her maintain her sanity. I get amused every time I see something about the love story between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. She was 15. That's called pedophilia. We condemn Michael Jackson for it, but we honor Thomas Jefferson," Wright said. "God is a righteous judge."
Wright told the crowd Christians make a political statement when they pledge allegiance to God and to Jesus. "And when your allegiance is to God, you don't let the hypocrisy of governments fool you, frighten you or make you back down," Wright said.
As Wright concluded his speech, he seemed to boast of the criticism that has come his way from commentators like Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity. "I want the Lord to use me to bring hope. In spite of what Hannity or (Dobbs) say, I want the Lord to use me to restore change," Wright said. "I want the Lord to use me to give back courage to people, to use me to expose governmental hypocrisy so people people can see the heart of God and so that people will stand up and say, 'What matters to God matters to me.'"
