January 29, 2019 a start-up conference dedicated to the launch of the project "Networking for Improvement of Job Opportunities in the Rural Areas of the Mogilev Oblast" (hereinafter the Project), funded by the European Union and implemented by the Slavgorod, Bykhov, Klichev, Krasnopole and Cherikov District Executive Committees and the International Foundation for Rural Development was held in the city of Slavgorod, Mogilev region.
The conference was inaugurated by Konstantin Zhigutsky, the Chairman of the Slavgorod District Executive Committee; Mr. Berend de Groot, the head of Coperation of the Delegation of the European Union to Belarus; Tatiana Kononchuk, the Chairperson of the Standing Commission on Environment, Natural Resources and Chernobyl Catastrophe of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus; Dmitry Kharitonchik, the Chairman of the Mogilev Regional Council of Deputies. In welcoming words, the speakers noted the significance of this event, the importance and uniqueness of the project to improve the sustainability of the Mogilev region rural development.
Sergey Tarasyuk, the Director of the International Foundation for Rural Development presented the project content. In particular, he noted: "The project goal aiming to increase employment and self-employment of more than 1.5 thousand people is a very ambitious goal! However, thanks to the productive cooperation of the districts during the previous years, the overall support of the Mogilev Region Executive Committee, the high level of cooperation of the five Executive Committees, non - profit organizations and the public of these areas and, more than that, the EU resources - this goal is achievable".
The key to the project success is the Regional Council for support of local initiatives in the field of sustainable development, thanks to this, seven districts of the Mogilev region cooperate today. Alexey Polovikov, the Chairman of the Regional Council, the Deputy Chairman of the Klichev District Executive Committee, noted that the Regional Council is a new pilot format of public-private partnership for sustainable development, uniting local authorities, business and the public. He drew attention to the fact that by cooperating it becomes easier to develop their competitive advantages, and the key to successful interaction is trust and openness towards each other.
Tatiana Kononchuk highlighted the need to integrate the project activities with the plans of socio-economic development of the districts and with a set of measures for the implementation of a number of state programs. In this regard, the representatives of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Belarus and the Economy Committee of the Mogilev Region Executive Committee noted the importance of the interaction of the project with the state programs' activities, in particular the creation of business incubators for the development of entrepreneurship and self-employment.
While discussing, Mr. Berend de Groot stressed the crucial role of the initiative in local development and the need for its support by local authorities, the observance of inclusion rules and the interaction of all participants from the population to enterprises in local development. He emphasized that it is essential to remember and take into account the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe.
The conference was attended by the representatives of the Belarus Support Programme and the EU initiative "Mayors for Economic Growth", who noted the high involvement of the Mogilev region into the project activity. Thus, activities for the regional sustainable development strategies elaboration will be held this year at the beginning of the February in the Bykhov and Klichev districts with the support of the Dortmund International Educational Center.
Before the conference closing Mr. Berend de Groot together with Natalia Efremenko, coordinator of the EU project "Mayors for Economic Growth" in Belarus, awarded the Klichev and Bykhov districts with diplomas of the European network "Mayor for Economic Growth".
The conference was also attended by the representatives of the international programs and projects, as well as the representatives of local authorities and the public of the Bykhov, Krasnopole, Klichev, Slavgorod and Cherikov districts of the Mogilev region, where the project is planned to be implemented. The event was also attended by the representatives of the Khotimsk and Krichev districts of the Mogilev region, where it is possible to spread the experience of the project.
Within the framework of the Conference, a thematic photo exhibition "Local Initiatives - a Key Factor in Improving Local Sustainable Development" was organized, where the project's participating regions presented successful practices of the local initiatives implemented previously.
Project "Networking for Improvement of Job Opportunities in the Rural Areas of the Mogilev Oblast" (NEAR-TS/2017/391-411). The project is funded by the European Union, registered in the database of programs and projects of the international technical assistance on December 7, 2018, № 2/18/000948.

CAD, easy! A simple $300 laptop isn't enough for handling critical engineering works in software like AutoCAD and Catia. Software program set up dimension is large, processor requirement is swift and the software literally eats the RAM. However, the software have already been updated and this problem has already been taken care of. It is also necessary to notice that the laptop computer won't overheat all the time. It's only when you're playing graphics-intensive games and software for a very long time that ANY laptop will heat (not simply Lenovo). That is why, a cooling pad, is really helpful all the time when gaming or utilizing software that require numerous CPU assets.

Does Rotation Alone Determine Whether an A-Type Star's Spectrum Is Abnormal or Normal?
As noted by Abt & Morrell, virtually all of the metallic line (Am)and peculiar A (Ap) stars have equatorial rotational velocities lessthan 120 km s-1, and most of the normal A0-F0 main-sequencestars have equatorial rotational velocities greater than 120 kms-1. However, at all spectral types there are some (10%-20%)of the normal stars that have smaller rotational velocities. If thisoverlap is real, then a star's rotational velocity is insufficient toexplain its abnormal or normal spectra. We studied the A5-F0 and A2-A4stars and found in both cases that there are stars classified as``normal'' that have unusually weak Ca II K lines and/or that occur inshort-period binaries. Therefore, the overlap seems to be due toundetected marginal abnormal stars. Among the A0-A1 stars we find thatour inability to distinguish consistently the class IV from the class Vstars can explain the overlap because the class IV stars have lowerrotational velocities than class V stars. We conclude from statisticalarguments that rotation alone can explain the appearance of an A star aseither abnormal or normal.
Calcium abundance in the atmosphere of Am stars is examined as afunction of their evolutionary state within the main sequence. Newspectroscopic abundances as well as abundances obtained photometricallyby Guthrie (1987) are used, since they are mutually quite consistent.The main result of this work is that, contrary to earlier suggestions,calcium abundance does not tend to be larger in evolved Am stars than inunevolved ones, for objects distributed along a given evolutionary trackin the HR diagram. The trend appears to be the reverse, if it is presentat all. For our whole sample of Am stars, there is a significantcorrelation between calcium abundance and effective temperature, in thesense that the cooler objects are the most Ca-deficient, hence have themost pronounced Am peculiarity. This implies an apparent correlationbetween calcium deficiency and age, although the lack of Am starsyounger than log t = 8.6 seems real. Our results are fully consistentwith the low rate of Am stars observed in young clusters and withtheoretical predictions of time-dependent radiative diffusion (Alecian1996). Based on observations collected at Observatoire de Haute Provence(CNRS), France, and on data from the ESA HIPPARCOS astrometry satellite.
Abundances of calcium, log N(Ca), are derived for a fairly completesample of 57 single-lined classical Am stars. Published photoelectricmeasures of the CaII K-line at 3933 A and K-line spectral types are usedto determine the equivalent widths of the K-line for a differentialcurve-of-growth comparison of the Am stars with the standard stars 15Vul and 28 And. On a scale with log N(H) = 12.0, the values of log N(Ca)for the Am stars range from 5.5 to 6.5, the solar value being 6.36. TheAm stars with low abundances of calcium have a small range of themodified age parameter, and absolute magnitudes within about 1.3 mag ofthe zero-age main sequence, whereas the other Am stars and normal starshave a larger spread in age. These results are probably consistent withthe suggestion that the Am phenomenon is due to subphotosphericseparation of elements by diffusion in slowly rotating A-type stars.
New radial velocities for 446 stars of magnitude 9.0 or brighter in 1616-sq-deg fields of the Northern Hemisphere are determined by automaticPDS measurement of 80-A/mm-dispersion spectra obtained at theObservatoire de Haute Provence using a 17-cm-diameter objective prism.The fields were selected to provide data for the input catalog of theESA Hipparcos astrometric satellite. The measurement techniques andprecision are discussed, and the results are presented in extensivetables and graphs.
The Geneva photometric m parameter (Nicolet and Cramer, 1982) is used inorder to select Am photometric candidates from the Rufener (1981)catalogue. Two lists are given, the first containing field stars and thesecond cluster stars. According to the photometric criteria thediffusion process probably responsible for the Am phenomenon takes placerather quickly as Am candidates are present in young clusters. It isconfirmed that the phenomenon is enhanced by low rotational velocity andhigh metallicity. The age seems to slightly affect the Am phenomenon.
Data derived from the stellar UV fluxes of the S2/68 experiment andanalyzed and interpreted by Van't Veer et al. (1980) are presented.There are two tables of photometric data. One lists all standard stars,without exception, belonging to the intersection of the following threecatalogs: (1) the Thompson et al. (1978) catalog of S2/68 fluxes; (2)the PMR catalog (Philip et al., 1976), which is an analysis of theHauck-Mermilliod catalog (1975) of homogeneous four color data; and (3)the Crawford and Barnes (1970) list of standard stars for uvbyphotometry. The other table lists all the Am stars, without exception,belonging to the intersection of the following three catalogs: (1)Thompson et al. (1978); (2) PMR (1976); and (3) the Hauck (1973) catalogof the Am stars.
Evidence is presented that HR 4594 and HR 8210 are pulsating marginal Amstars. It is suggested that (1) classical Am stars do not pulsate, (2)evolved Am stars may pulsate, and (3) marginal Am stars may pulsate. Itis further suggested that, within the Am domain, temperature, age,rotation, and pulsation are sufficient to determine whether a star willbe Am, marginal Am, or spectrally normal.
A statistical parallax method based on the principle of maximumlikelihood is used to calibrate absolute luminosities for samples ofcooler stars constituting the 'late group' defined by Stromgren (1966).The samples examined include 415 stars of all luminosity classes and asubset comprising 86 main-sequence stars. Linear calibration relationsinvolving the Stromgren beta, (b-y), and bracketted c1 indices arederived which yield mean absolute magnitudes with an accuracy of 0.09magnitude for the overall sample and 0.13 magnitude for themain-sequence subsample. Several second-order relations are considered,and the results are compared with Crawford's (1975) calibrations as wellas with mean absolute magnitudes obtained from trigonometric parallaxes.The possible effect of interstellar absorption on the calibrationrelations is also investigated.
Bright metallic-line and pulsating A stars.
A compilation of the photoelectric measurements in the Barbier-Morguleffsystem is presented. The catalogue includes data for 773 stars ofspectral type 08 to F6. 706 stars have been measured at least twice.

At first glance, Gamle Stavanger, or Old Stavanger, the area of town closest to the water, looks like a transplanted, salty New England village, with its cobblestone streets lined with one and two-story wooden houses faced with white clapboard. The air smells salty, too, since the town lies along the Norway's southwest coast.
But then you notice little differences. The roofs on most of the 18th and 19th-century houses are unglazed tile, and casement windows punctuate their facades. But what really stands out are the brightly painted blue doors. Every street is neat as a pin. Charm seems to seep out of the seaside atmosphere. The town also boasts the best light in Norway for photographers and artists. It's a picture perfect old town with spectacular scenery beyond to rival some of the most majestic in the world.
Stavanger offers a total Norwegian maritime experience. Norway has a long history with the sea and the town has been involved in most of it.
Stavanger is Norway's oldest city and its third largest. It's name comes from the Old Norse form of Stafangr. Many historians believe that it was originally the name of the inlet now called Vågen, which was the original site of the town, on the east shore of the bay. The first part of the name is stafr meaning "staff or branch.". The second part is angr meaning "inlet or bay." Facing the North Sea, Stavanger has always been economically dependent on its access to the sea.
The first traces of settlement in the Stavanger region date from the days when the ice retreated after the last ice age about 10,000 years ago. A number of historians have argued that North Jæren was an economic and military center as far back as the 9th and 10th centuries with the consolidation of the nation at the Battle of Hafrsfjord around 872.
With the founding of the Bishopric of Stavanger by Bishop Reinald in the 1120s, the town took on a new role as a religious center. But with the Protestant Reformation in 1536, Stavanger's role as a religious center declined, and the establishment of Kristiansand in the early 17th century led to the relocation of the bishopric. However, rich herring fisheries in the 19th century gave the city new life.
This history of Stavanger is one of boom and bust. During most of this time, the shipping, shipbuilding, and fish canning industries sustained it. The latest boom was after the discovery of oil in the North Sea. Today, the city has become the supply center for the off-shore oil rigs.
While other Norwegian coastal towns have suffered from the precarious fortunes of fishing, Stavanger has over the years grown into one of Norway's most dynamic economic power bases. Fish canning and its own merchant fleet brought initial prosperity, which shipbuilding and, more recently, the oil industry have since sustained: the port builds the rigs for theoffshore oilfields and afterward refines the oil before dispatch.
Stavanger was one of the first settlements in Norway influenced by the European Christian culture during the Viking era. In the mid 10th century, traditional Norse burial customs ceased in the Stavanger area, at the same time as the first Christian priests began their work. Large stone crosses are visible memorials of this early Christian age.
Archaeological investigations in the current downtown and in the crypt of the Domkirke show that the great fire of 1272 probably left large parts of the city and the Cathedral in ruins, including the Cathedral's Romanesque chancel.
Stavanger has a long history of education in Western Europe. The first organized education in the city probably took place at a Benedictine monastery in the mid-12th century. Stavanger was a church city throughout the Middle Ages up to the Reformation. But the Reformation, however, dealt a hard blow to the Church in specific and Stavanger in general. The cathedral, the bishop and canons of the monastery had been large landowners. Recession of the city began with the loss of people in rural areas, as a result of which the revenues of the cathedral and the bishop fell dramatically due to reduced rental income. In 1537, the king confiscated the bishop's and the monastery's estate and property.
Gamle Stavanger is the least changed part of town. The buildings here are a product of their own wealthy age. Wooden warehouses flank the western dockside, split by a succession of narrow lanes. Stroll up any of them, and you're in the heart of the residential quarter, once home to local seamen and visiting merchants. The long rows of white-painted houses, gas lamps, picket fences, and tiny terraced gardens, most dating from the late 18th century, make for an engaging walk along the cobbled streets.
Here, amongst the clapboard houses stands the Norwegian Canning Museum, a reconstructed sardine-canning factory which gives a glimpse of the industry that saved Stavanger from decay in the 19th century.
Walk back through Gamle Stavanger toward the center, and you'll pass the Maritime Museum, which offers another insight into Stavanger's history. The exhibits are as much to do with the trade that the shipping industry engendered as the sea itself. Be sure to see the old sailmaker's room and various reconstructed shop and office interiors.
Along the length of the harbor, there's a daily market, selling flowers and produce, while for fresh fish you should check out the teeming watertanks on the wharf. The streets around Skagen, on the eastern side of the harbor, make up the town's shopping area, a bright mix of spidery lanes, pedestrianized streets and white-timbered houses, that covers the area where the original settlement of medieval Stavanger once lay—though little remains of the layout, or the atmosphere. The Valberg Tower was a 19th-century fire watchtower which gives sweeping views of the city from its top.
The only relic of medieval Stavanger is close to Lake Breiavatnet which sits in the middle of the city. The pointed-hat towers of the Domkirke, or cathedral, hide a Romanesque church altered by modern restoration. The classically simple interior, built by English craftsmen, has been spoiled by ornate 17th-century additions, including an intricate pulpit and five huge memorial tablets adorning the walls of the aisles: all a whirling jumble of richly carved angels, crucifixes, death masks, animals, and apostles.
Around from the cathedral east of the lake is the Norwegian Emigration Center, with its extensive archives. If you have any Norwegian ancestry, this is the place that will help you learn about your past.


He was on His way and I think of how often I am on my way. He stopped and I think of the times I haven't. And then I'm not reading anymore, I'm thinking and then I'm pacing because I don't like these thoughts but He is the one bringing them up and you can't stop Him. You just can't. Like a dog on a bone, He is relentless.
It's a small house and I quickly run out of rooms to go in and back out again. When there is no way out from under His gaze the pacing stops and I let Him teach my heart what it needs to learn. Because as much as I want to run (pace) away from seeing what is about to be exposed, I want to be like Him.
Life as a Jesus follower can't be lived on my way to something else.
He was on His way but He stopped for that one. That needy one who was looking to get something from Him. The beggar with her hand out to grab onto hope. Living like Him means stopping like Him. Stopping for the one in front of me. The one desperate for something I have.
But I'm always on my way. Work, class, errands and a life that can't wait. Sometimes I'm just on my way to the couch because I'm tired from being on my way all day. And true to form I try to argue my point with God. Life is busy and my plate is so full and there are just some things, things that aren't a couch, that can't wait while I stop. Important things.
Lesson: Don't sit down at the table with God no matter how good you can shuffle. He will always have the trump card.
I want to be like Him. I want to follow Him where ever He goes, because I just can't live without Him. I want to run my race slow enough to stop when He stops for the one in front of me. I want to see the needy, the hungry, the desperate ones that are on my way to somewhere else.
I sat down to spend time in His Word and I ended up with the thoughts on this page. Thoughts that I need to slow down, take notice. And then I laugh right here and now as I realize what God was really after. This one final thought that sinks in past my mind and into my heart.
I want to be on my way to raise the dead.
I don't want to be on my way to work anymore. I want to be on my way to speak life to someone at my workplace. I don't want to be rushing to get to class, I want to be on my way to speak encouraging words to someone in that class who needs to hear them.
I can stop going to the grocery store to buy groceries and be on my way there to tell the weary woman in the check-out line that Jesus loves her and has strength for her.
And now I find myself not pacing but clinging once again to His feet making a mess with my tears. He always goes so deep when He encounters us, you know? He didn't show up in my bible reading moments just to tell me to slow down and pay attention.
He showed up to teach me that while He was on this earth, He was always on His way to something unearthly. And to invite me to follow Him while I'm on my way.
Wow! His words through your heart are creating great impact in my own heart. I want to "take action" – "be a doer of the Word, not merely a hearer". This challenges me to get up and be "on my way to unearthly things!" Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Thank you Cheri! Glad for like-minded company on this journey!


John Fox, MD, MHA, explains the process for integrating new drugs into a formulary.
Integrating new drugs into our formularies can be a simple or complex process. For drugs for which no other alternatives exist, it's a fairly straightforward decision. The rules and regulations vary by state, but in our state (Michigan), we're required to cover FDA-approved drugs (even for non–FDA-approved indications). And certainly, in orphan indications or in lines of therapy where no alternatives exist, the question is not whether or not we cover the drug. The question is, what kind of management strategies or parameters are we going to put around the drug?
In circumstances where we have another therapeutic option in a specific cancer and a specific line of therapy, the most critical thing for us to ask is, what are the survival advantages to that patient? Unfortunately, most of the time when new drugs come to the market, we don't have survival data. We have progression-free survival data or overall response data, and in that circumstance, we'll add that drug to the formulary. But perhaps it is a disadvantage to physicians. In other words, patients can get the drug and providers can prescribe it, but there may be additional cost sharing or additional requirements in order to be able to get that drug.
Most P&T (pharmacy and therapeutics) Committees meet on a regular basis every month, every 2 months, or every 3 months. The decision on how quickly to add a drug to the formulary is often dependent on whether or not there is an unmet need that is filled by that drug. So, a drug that is a new indication for a new line of therapy or a new type of cancer, for which there is no alternative, often gets fast-tracked in the P&T process. Medicare requires that we review all drugs within 3 months, and because, in our system, we review Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial at the same time, all drugs will be reviewed within that 3-month time period. But again, if there are unmet needs, it will be available almost immediately.
When formulary changes are made, they're almost immediately updated on our website where the prior authorization forms and information are available to providers. But to be clear, most providers don't want to infuse a drug or prescribe a drug unless they know it's going to be covered. So, there is a pretty quick communication to the plan if providers want to use that drug because most of them will want to ensure the drug has been approved before they administer it.

On this daySep 23, 1955
All-White Jury Acquits White Men Who Murdered 14-Year-Old Emmett Till
On September 23, 1955, an all-white jury in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, acquitted Roy Bryant and John Milam, the two white men who murdered Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black boy. Despite the fact that Black citizens comprised over 63% of Tallahatchie County's population, not a single Black person served on the jury. Under state law, only registered voters qualified as jurors, and not one Black citizen in Tallahatchie County was able to register to vote at the time.
During the summer of 1955, Emmett Till traveled from Chicago to Mississippi to visit his family. One day, Emmett and a group of friends and cousins went to a local store to buy candy. Emmett was later accused of acting "familiar" with the young white female storekeeper, Carolyn Bryant. In response, Roy Bryant, Carolyn's husband, and John Milam, Mr. Bryant's half-brother, abducted Emmett from his great-uncle's home. The men drove Emmett to a storage shed on Milam's property in Drew, Mississippi, where they took turns torturing and beating him with a pistol, before forcing him to load a 74-pound fan into the back of their pick-up truck. The men then drove Emmett to the edge of the Tallahatchie River, ordered him to remove his clothes, and shot him in the head. Once the child was dead, Bryant and Milam chained the fan to his corpse and rolled it into the river.
At trial, several Black witnesses bravely testified for the State against Mr. Bryant and Mr. Milam, despite threats on their life if they dared to testify, including Mose Wright, who testified that Mr. Bryant and Mr. Milam were the men that took Emmett Till from his home. Mr. Till's mother, Mamie Bradley, also courageously traveled from Chicago to attend the trial and identify her son's body.
Mrs. Bryant testified as well, describing the alleged harassment, including a man trying to hold her hand and whistle at her, and identifying the person responsible as a Black man, but refusing to identify Emmett by name. In asking the jury to acquit, defense lawyers called the State's theory of motive "illogical," despite the fact that white mobs in the South had murdered hundreds of Black men accused of similar conduct, with little to no evidence of guilt.
Lawyers for the defense and the prosecution appealed to white jurors' commitment to racial hierarchy. Defense lawyer John Whitten accused civil rights groups of planting Mr. Till's body in the river as a challenge to the "Southern way of life." District Attorney Gerald Chatham told the jury that Emmett deserved punishment for "insulting white womanhood," but argued that Mr. Bryant should have limited his vengeance to "beating [him] with a razor strap."
The jury only deliberated 67 minutes before returning a verdict of not guilty. One juror later said: "We wouldn't have taken so long if we hadn't stopped to drink pop."
J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant celebrate the acquittal with their wives.
Just a few months later, Look Magazine reportedly paid $4,000 to Mr. Milam and Mr. Bryant for their confessions. In a story published by the magazine on January 24, 1956, Mr. Milam and Mr. Bryant graphically described their abduction of Emmett Till from his uncle's home, admitting that they pistol-whipped him, forced him to disrobe, tied a heavy cotton-gin fan around his neck with barbed wire, shot him, and dumped his body in the Tallahatchie River. Decades later, Mrs. Bryant would also admit that she lied on the stand.

Speaking of old, we had a real "ice box" in our old cabin in Allenspark. We also had an ice house which was filled every spring with real ice carved out from Copeland Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. The ice house was insulated in sawdust. Amazing how we thrived with a very small ice box with a family of six. I believe the refrigerator came in before we were a family of seven.
Almost everything I read or see lately says one should do away with bread and the Paleos say you should give up grains. Well, it just ain't gonna happen. I've given up about everything else over the years and I am not going to give up bread.

Calgary police officer cleared in shooting of stolen vehicle in Martindale
Police say the vehicle was being driven erratically at times before it crashed into a home the in the northwest on September 25, 2018.
Alberta's police watchdog has cleared a Calgary Police Service (CPS) officer of any wrongdoing after he fired several shots at a stolen truck being driven erratically in the community of Martindale back in 2018.
A report on the incident released by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) on Thursday examined what happened leading up to the shooting.
The officer in question was patrolling northeast Calgary in a marked police cruiser with a second officer on the evening of the shooting, which occurred on Sept. 24.
According to the report, the pair checked the licence plate of a white GMC truck and determined it was stolen. The officers didn't attempt to stop the truck, and instead followed it while waiting for backup.
Though they lost sight of the truck at 11:33 p.m., the officers were able to locate it three minutes later, parked in front of the driveway of a home in Martindale.
The officers pulled up and parked behind the truck, exited their cruiser and began approaching the vehicle.
The report says both officers drew their firearms after seeing the driver "raise his hands briefly."
Instead of surrendering, the driver started the truck, drove it forward onto the driveway, then "quickly reversed" the vehicle – coming close to hitting the second officer.
The driver continued backing up, clipping the police cruiser before driving onto the lawns of adjacent houses and hitting a nearby garage.
The officer in question fired five shots at the truck, hitting the front passenger-side tire, but the driver continued on.
With the use of the HAWCS helicopter, police followed the truck's movements as it travelled through residential neighbourhoods and eventually lost control and came to rest on the front yard of a home.
Officers, with the help of a police dog, arrested the suspect.
His only injures were "superficial lacerations from the dog bite."
ASIRT noted the suspect was in possession of methamphetamine upon his arrest, and told hospital staff "that he had consumed methamphetamine that evening."
EVIDENCE WAS LIMITED
ASIRT noted in its report that the evidence available in the investigation was "more limited than other similar investigations" as neither the officer who fired the shots nor the driver of the stolen truck provided a statement to investigators.
In addition, ASIRT said the video camera in the police cruiser wasn't recording at the time of the shooting, as the camera is activated by the vehicle's emergency lights – which weren't on.
As such, most of the evidence from the investigation came from the second officer.
DRIVER WAS A 'SERIOUS RISK'
ASIRT concluded the suspect was "driving very erratically, and apparently unable to avoid hitting a garage" adding he was a "serious risk to the officers on foot around him."
Police officers are permitted to use as much force as is necessary for execution of their duties, and ASIRT found the of force by the officer was proportionate, necessary, and reasonable.
"As a result, there are no reasonable grounds to believe that a criminal offence was committed."

I've just upgraded to NPM v11 and in the admin guide it says by default I get 10 server licenses and 1 network license but when I checked the licensing it says 30 day eval and unlimited licensing for both. What it doesn't make clear in the admin guide is once the Eval expires does it automatically revert to the default licensing?
That is correct sir- it will automatically revert.


Tegra 3 quad core in August displays more than hd.
By NVIDIA's own estimation, the quad-core newbie provides roughly double the processing power of Tegra 2 and triple the graphics-crunching prowess. In the second demonstration of the evening, we saw an instance of Great Battles Medieval -- ran at 720p with 650 enemy soldiers on the field -- on both a Tegra 2 and a Kal-El platform, which showed the baby superhero handily dusting its still very new brethren. This was in large part down to the full dozen GPU cores contained within Kal-El, though before you freak out about battery-draining insanity, NVIDIA claims things are much, much more efficient as well -- up to 12 hours of HD video playback are promised under the right circumstances.
It's a big fat wedge of awesome boasts we've heard from the GeForce maker today, however the company's given us a schedule to hold it to as well. The "August timeframe" is when the quad-core Kal-El is expected to land in tablets, while smartphones will have to wait until the holiday season to benefit from what's likely to be a slightly downgraded variant. Skip past the break to eye the future Tegra roadmap for the next few years plus video of the wildly impressive demos we were witness to.

Joy is Everywhere: Spencer's Story
Stories, Programs - 09.29.20
"Joy is a big part of what we learned. No matter what you're going through, if you look for it, you can find Joy." – JANALYN
When Janalyn's son, Spencer, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma just before his 13th birthday, she saw firsthand how powerful and healing Joy can be. During his first prolonged hospital stay, Spencer shut down. He refused every comfort, interaction, and activity offered—until CCA's trained MyMusicRx® musicians, Cameron and Jean, walked through the door.
"I remember when we first met Cameron, he immediately lightened the atmosphere. It seems like such a small thing, but when you're in the hospital and you're bored, or scared, or in pain, or all three at once, the smallest thing can change how you feel. And for us and for Spencer, music was one of those things. Music brought a lightheartedness and Joy we really didn't see any other way." — JANALYN
In-hospital bedside music medicine with Cameron and Jean.
After Spencer's first music interaction, the walls he'd put up began to come down, and he started saying "yes" more often—first to continued, in-hospital music lessons with Cameron, then to being matched with an adult mentor through CCA's Chemo Pal® Mentor Program.
"At first, I wasn't sure I wanted to do Chemo Pal, but it was really great. Having [Chemo Pal mentor] Shawn around makes things less boring, especially at the hospital. In the TV show Psych, the main character is named Shawn Spencer. He's Shawn, I'm Spencer…you see? We're a great match." — SPENCER
Match day 2019: Spencer and Chemo Pal mentor, Shawn at Doernbecher Children's Hospital
"At the beginning, all of this was super new and scary for Spencer. He was really closed off. He wouldn't smile, laugh, talk, or show any emotion at all. When Shawn came into the picture, he was someone just for Spencer, unrelated to the stress of what was going on. That helped break through Spencer's hard shell and get him to a point where he could express happiness, joy, and laughter again. I'm really impressed with Shawn and his persistence; he made Spencer a priority, and he was genuinely interested in getting to know the rest of our family as well." — JANALYN
Creating Joy During a Pandemic
For young patients like Spencer, Joy isn't just a feeling—it's a welcome relief from the stress, pain, and loneliness they feel during extended hospitalizations, and a way to bolster their emotional and mental wellness. During Spencer's first nine months of treatment, he found Joy in telling jokes and learning new instruments with Cameron, board games and weekly in-person visits with Shawn, and spending time with family and friends both in and out of the hospital.
Since Spencer's brothers aren't able to visit him in the hospital due to visitor restrictions, they talk frequently on FaceTime.
Then, COVID-19 hit the U.S., isolating families like Spencer's even more from support services and each other, and making it that much more critical for CCA-served families to continue to access the healing power of JoyRx. For Spencer, that means music lessons with Cameron via Zoom or FaceTime, trading board games for video games with Shawn, making friends with other patients during hospital stays, and video chatting with his brothers from his hospital bed.
Shawn visits Spencer via FaceTime during a physical-distanced donut delivery.
"Back when Cameron was visiting the hospital, he tried to visit as many patients as he could, so he could only spend so much time with each patient. At home, he doesn't have those limits, so I get to spend a lot more time talking to him. He's really funny, and really good at teaching me music, even on the phone." — SPENCER
"Music with Cameron gives Spencer something to look forward to and practice. It made him more future-focused, and less hopeless. That was good for me to see, too. And because we had to stop Spencer's piano lessons for treatment, it was nice to see him have music in his life again." — JANALYN
A Healing Retreat
Recently, Spencer celebrated his 14th birthday during a family retreat to the Alexandra Ellis Caring Cabin®. It was a welcome respite from the nonstop stressors of cancer treatment and daily life during COVID-19, and he and his family enjoyed a much-needed weekend of relaxation, connection, and peace.
"Vacations are really hard with cancer, even in normal times. To have a safe place to go during COVID was a huge peace of mind. You can't ever leave cancer, but for those few days, we were truly able to release a lot of the cares we were dealing with and just focus on having fun together. It was way more touching and healing than I imagined it to be. We so appreciate all who made it possible for our family to go to the Caring Cabin and have this magical experience!" — JANALYN

Couple Files Suit Against Police
Saturday, April 7th 2007, 2:41 pm
TONKAWA, Okla. (AP) A Tonkawa couple who claim police conducted an illegal search of their home have filed a federal lawsuit against the police department, the third lawsuit filed against the department in less than a year.
In a complaint filed last month in federal court in Oklahoma City, Tonkawa residents Donald and Jeanine Cales also claim police beat Donald Cales badly enough to send him to an emergency room.
Two other lawsuits were filed against the police department in June and July involving several of the same officers involved in the most recent case. The two earlier cases are preparing to go to trial.
According to Cales' complaint, several Tonkawa officers followed him to his home, broke out a window in his front door and pointed a gun at his wife. They entered the home without a warrant, beat Cales and arrested him without informing him of any charges against him, according to the complaint.
Cales said he incurred $90,000 in medical expenses as a result of his injuries. He is seeking damages in excess of $1 million and punitive damages in excess of $500,000. His wife is also seeking the same amount.
The suit claims the officers used malicious and unreasonable force and violated his constitutional protection against unlawful searches, the right to know the charges against him and depriving him of life, liberty or property without due process of law.
Philip Anderson, an Oklahoma City attorney representing Tonkawa in the lawsuits, said he couldn't comment on pending litigation.
In June, Gene "Brad" Smith filed a lawsuit against police claiming they used excessive force and assaulted his wife and her children during an unannounced nighttime search of their home.
Smith also claimed police retaliated against him by arresting the couple without any charges during a traffic stop after he made the officers' conduct public.
In another lawsuit filed the next month, Toribia Espinoza claims former Assistant Police Chief Nick Alexy unlawfully arrested her and assaulted her in a drunken rage while off duty.
Located in Kay County in northern Oklahoma, Tonkawa has a population of about 3,200 residents.


Anthony Corrado, Mike Harney and Tommy Elliott scored two goals apiece for the Indians, who fell behind 1-0 and then closed out the first half with six unanswered goals. Drew Riolo added one goal and four assists. Mahopac goalie Mike Argila stopped 14 shots, which gives him 509 career saves. Andrew Bernstein had three goals and one assist for the Raiders. Jack Brosgol also scored three times and got Scarsdale within a goal with 36 seconds to play. Sam Silverman had 19 saves in the loss.
Mike Walsh had five goals to lead the Rebels and Tom Nolan scored three times. J.T. Turnquist had two goals and one assist for the Pride.
Pat Straub had four goals and two assists for the Eagles, who have opened the season with four consecutive wins. Jack Capuano also netted four goals and Jack Baglieri finished with three goals and four assists.
Liam Pakola had five goals and three assists to pace the Bulldogs. Emmett Winton wound up with two goals and four assists while Ethan Pakola added three goals and one assist. Mitsuke Kawamuro scored twice for the Unicorns and Tomoyuki Iwamoto came up with seven saves.
Kyle Morrison had six goals and five assists for the Tigers. Luke Colon finished with four goals and Michael McCarthy added three goals and one assist. Justin Leydon led the Panthers with three goals. Max Thurer and Dylan Spencer each scored twice.
Brendan Sullivan, Wyatt Rumpf, Connor O'Reilly and Jack McInerney had three goals apiece for the Gaels, who had a 12-2 lead at the half. Justin O'Connor scored his first varsity goal. Anthony Badalica had three goals in the loss.

I Drank Matcha Tea Instead Of Coffee Every Morning For A Week And Here's What Happened
by Rebecca Straus for RodalesOrganicLife.com Published: Dec 23, 2016
rebecca straus
I drink coffee almost every morning out of habit, but tea is actually my true love. I have an entire desk drawer dedicated to my tea stash at work, an overflowing tea cupboard at home, an impressive collection of tea balls in a variety of whimsical shapes, and let's not even talk about how many mugs I own. So when I discovered matcha, which promised a caffeine-boost on par with coffee with the comfort of tea, I was all for giving it a try. Matcha is a powdered tea made from ground tea leaves, and, caffeine aside, it also boasts an impressive resume of healing properties, guaranteeing a healthy start to my day. (Lose up to 15 pounds WITHOUT dieting with Eat Clean to Get Lean, our 21-day clean-eating meal plan.)
"Because you're drinking the full tea leaf, you're getting the maximum nutritional value of green tea," says Keri Glassman, dietician and founder of NutritiousLife.com and The Nutrition School. For example, regular steeped green tea is noted for its high levels of antioxidants, but it doesn't even come close to matcha, which has 10 times the antioxidants of regular green tea, according to Glassman. (You can also get your green tea antioxidants with matcha ice cream.)
Antioxidants are important because they can delay cell damage and help to prevent disease. Matcha is especially high in catechins, a type of powerful antioxidants, and these have been shown to protect against cancer and other chronic diseases, says Annie B. Kay, RD, lead nutritionist at the Kripalu Center. She adds that some recent studies have even shown that matcha's superior catechin count can lower cholesteral and may even help in weight management.

Clearly, matcha is powerful stuff. I got my hands on some organic matcha powder from The Republic of Tea, and unplugged my coffee pot for 7 days. Here's how it went.
It gave me energy.
Unlike a lot of other sleepy office workers, I don't depend on caffeine to get me going in the morning. I drink coffee because I like the taste, not the side effects. Caffeine makes my thoughts race and my stomach queasy if I have too much, so given my low caffeine tolerance, I was curious how I would fare with matcha, which has about half the caffeine of coffee and twice the caffeine of regular green tea. It turned out to be perfect—I felt alert, but less jittery than I do with coffee. That's because, unlike coffee, matcha contains a phytonutrient called l-theanine, which promotes calmness, says Vincent Pedre, MD, author of Happy Gut. "The result you get is a calm alertness, without the rush and crash of coffee. L-theanine is also a mood enhancer and improves concentration," he says. This was my experience exactly—I was knocking out my to-do list all week long.

It took some getting used to.
Drinking matcha isn't quite like drinking other teas. Since it's a powder, the tea is inevitably a bit grainy, especially as you near the bottom of the cup. I always wound up pouring the last inch down the drain because I couldn't stomach the texture. Matcha also doesn't look like tea. It's opaque and the color of a green smoothie, which takes some getting used to, as far as aesthetics go. The taste is pretty much like regular green tea, though, only a bit stronger and a little more bitter.
I made tea time me time.
KPG_PAYLESS/SHUTTERSTOCK
Two days into my experiment, a coworker told me that in Japan, where her father is from, drinking matcha is a daily ritual. Traditionally, matcha is whisked for several minutes with a small bamboo whisk until it gets frothy and then enjoyed slowly and mindfully. (It also must be said that whisking eliminates much of matcha's graininess, which is definitely my least favorite thing about powdered tea.) "This slow, ritualized process is one of the other benefits of matcha," Pedre confirmed. "It induces relaxation and feelings of mental wellness that are so important to help balance the fast pace of our modern lives." (You should also try these 9 soothing teas to calm your nerves.)
So I was kind of missing the point by drinking my matcha from a thermos while driving to work. The next day I vowed to do better and slowed the process down. I tried beating my matcha with my regular metal kitchen whisk and then a fork, but I didn't achieve the frothiness I was hoping for. Still, it was nice to take the time to linger over my tea at breakfast, instead of racing out the door with a tumbler in hand.
I added a new tea to my rotation.
Though I won't be drinking matcha every single day from now on, I'm glad to have it in my collection. It gives me a controlled energy boost when I need it, and I'm sold on its potential long-term health benefits, even though there's no way for me to measure the effects of antioxidants on my body during a week-long, very unscientific experiment. But most of all, I love the way matcha smells, lightly sweet and grassy, a scent that reminds me that a good cup of tea is always worth lingering over.

I wonder if this is normal - Why do I forget so easily these days?
It went on for 18 hours. I refused to look it up. Instead, I thought and thought and thought. I went to bed thinking about it. I woke up in the morning and thought about it.
Then magically around 10am in the morning, it hit me. It's CIOPPINO! Of course! How could I forget?
Forgetting a simple, random and almost useless fact happens to me from time to time. I wasn't always like this. In fact, I used to be so proud of my memory. I could recall a name of a person I met at a mixer with no problem. I could immediately call up a name of a strange dish or a name of a restaurant we just passed by as if I had known it all my life.
Now days, with more exposure and knowledge I have about Alzheimer's disease, when I forget to recall something my thoughts race to wonder if it's a symptom of Alzheimer's disease for me. With recent studies pointing to genetic disposition of getting this disease, I think about the fact that my maternal grandmother had Alzheimer's. I think about my mom currently suffering from it. I think about me. I think about my sister. I think about my daughter. I think about my future granddaughter. My thoughts began to cry out, "I am only 46. I'm too young to be forgetting simple things." Then I recall the Purple Sunshine community posts. "My mom is 50 and she has had Alzheimer's for the last 4 years…. My husband was diagnosed with AD at age 50…".
For those of us who are exposed to Alzheimer's patients, we are so painfully aware of the devastating nature of this disease. It's too easy to get caught up in the fear of possibly getting afflicted with the disease ourselves. I posed this question to our Purple Sunshine community and about three quarter of respondents said they live in fear that they will be afflicted with Alzheimer's. Surprisingly, about a quarter of them said while it's a thought they have, they don't live in fear. I applaud the people who are living strong despite the fear.
If anyone is worried, the best thing you can do for yourself is get educated, find a support group, and make lifestyle changes…NOW. Make changes so you eat better, get exercise, do things to stimulate your brain, and think positively. In my case, I have pretty much completely removed all white flour and rice, white sugar, sodas, junk foods such as store bought chips, cookies and snacks from my cupboard. I have also made a commitment to exercise at least 20 minutes a day. I'm also learning to do brand new things. I've started a blog site. I have learned stock trading. I am reading financial news. All of these things are brand new for me from a year ago. I know I will continue to have moments where I forget names of dishes, names of people, name of places I had visited. I also know I will force my brain to recollect the answer, and I will not rest until it does. I also know I will not be on TV to play Jeopardy… but that's OK. I'm living not in fear, but despite it. I choose to live strong and take each day for what it is. The fear that I too may be afflicted with Alzheimer's disease the way my grandmother was, and the way my mother is will persist. But it will only be a fleeting thought, living dormant in the back of my mind. Live strong. Live courageously. Live well despite the fear.
Alzheimer's patient is like a young child.
One of the best things I love about young children is their emotional honesty and how their short term memory works. When my son was little he would sometimes come crying into my arms and would tell me his sister was mean to him, and that she hurt his feelings. I would wipe his tears, hug him, kiss his chest and sometimes offer to put a bandaid over his heart. In no time, he would run off to play with his sister, forgetting that she was "mean" to him.
These days, I see my mom acting much like a young child. She is brutally honest about certain things, and she quickly forgets. The other day, I was driving mom and dad back to their home from a long day of doctor visits. It was getting to be dinner time and knowing that cooking was a struggle for them both I offered to buy them take-out dinner. Dad said "No", being the very proud man that he is, for at 78 years old he still believes he should be the one taking care of everybody and not the other way around. But mom who ordinarily would just comply with dad spoke up and said, "There is nothing to eat at home and I'm getting hungry." Wow, before her Alzheimer's disease, she would never say such a thing! Well, a little honesty goes a long way. I picked up some dinner for them, and heard mom exclaim "Oh, I love these Chipotle bowls!." I glanced over at dad through the rear view mirror and he just shrugged his shoulders. Lo and behold less then 10 minutes later, I stopped the car to drop them off in their driveway and handed mom the bag containing their dinner. She asks me what it is. I tell her it's their dinner. Mom looks to dad and says to me "Oh no, I can't accept that. I have to cook for your dad. You take it." I tell her it's ok, that she's had a long day and she should get a day off from cooking. She says, "Oh, yes. It's getting difficult to cook these days. I no longer enjoy cooking anymore."
I pull out of their driveway and get on the road to come home. All the while thinking, "I'm glad Dad's there, so she doesn't forget to eat".
This story comes from my dad, who is taking care of my mom, an early to moderate Alzheimer's patient.

Among the benefits of the combination, the merged group will be able to accelerate product innovation, including fever detection, facial recognition, remote, mobile and lone workforce solutions. An expanded Damstra offering is expected to fast track growth, including the ability to cross sell products across respective client bases, within Australia and New Zealand but also in international markets, particularly North America and now South East Asia.
Christian Damstra, CEO and Managing Director, said, "Our organic growth outlook remains strong but an acquisition such as Vault represents a low risk and transformational step to gain increased scale and diversification. These and other benefits will allow Damstra to accelerate innovation and our international expansion. A great example of the complementary fit and cross selling opportunity will be the inclusion of Vault remote tracking and lone worker products such as Solo in the Damstra product module."
"We have a clear implementation plan and pathway forward, and Damstra has demonstrated a strong track record in successfully integrating its acquisitions. Damstra will provide further updates on the integration process in its upcoming 4C due to be released before end of October and then also the AGM which is scheduled for the 16th of November".
Authorised for release to ASX by the Board of Damstra.

The last Gateway of January reminded its readers yet again that our senior administrators' plan for a so-called "Leadership College" is not welcomed by actual student leaders. Dustin Chelen, the SU Vice-President (Academic), "forcefully maintains that building an elite housing project is not the right way to facilitate leadership on campus." There speaks a real leader: somebody who thinks independently, and thinks about what other people need.
In fact, the idea of a leadership college is deeply incoherent. I am not sure if any of Dr Samarasekera's advisors studied at collegiate universities; if so, they should have explained to her what a college is. I did study at a collegiate university, so I can explain. A college is not an exclusive body. The members of a college are a cross-section of the university: they bring a very wide variety of talents, interests, and ideals to the college. They did not choose each other (that is why a college is not quite like a club or fraternity, though fraternities have something of the collegiate ideal). They have not been set aside from the rest of the university because they are special people. They live and study together, teach each other, and make decisions together, rather like an extended family. Like family life, collegiate life can be far from idyllic. But a family whose members see themselves as an elite set apart from the families around them is a sick family. An elite undergraduate college would be a sick institution.

Ron was diagnosed this January with a grade 2 brainstem glioma, after many months of health problems and appointments. After consulting with several doctors, Ron decided to undergo radiation treatment at Sibley Hospital in coordination with the Johns Hopkins medical team. The scheduled completion date for Ron's radiation treatment is March 7th. This treatment will hopefully stop the growth of the tumor and shrink it.
While this has certainly been a very difficult time, Ron could not have come this far without all the incredible support of his family and friends. THANK YOU to all of you for your continued support in getting him through this very challenging time.
Ron would like to celebrate the completion of his radiation treatment, and journey back to health, with participation in the "Race for Hope," to raise awareness and funds for additional brain tumor research for the purpose of eradicating brain tumors. It should be a great event, for a great cause, and hopefully with good weather.
It would mean so much to Ron to have his family and friends walking and running alongside him. If you plan to attend the race, join our team by clicking on the "Join Team" button on the right. If you can't attend in person, but would like to make a donation, click on the "Donate Now" button on the right.


Everyone wants to look beautiful on their wedding day. This will be one of the most hectic times in your life, but to achieve your glowing look, you must take time to take care of yourself and begin any new skin care program early. Be sure that you get enough sleep the night before the wedding, and allow plenty of time to get ready so you will be able to enjoy these special moments.
If you do not usually wear makeup, there are many good reasons to consider wearing it on your wedding day. Properly applied makeup will greatly enhance your appearance and keep you from looking too pale in your wedding photographs. Makeup should highlight your best features and camouflage any flaws without being too obvious. Some brides have a professional makeup artist do the entire bridal party, or you can schedule a fun get-together with your attendants several weeks before the big day and experiment with different looks.
If you decide to do your own makeup and are not sure how, there are many knowledgeable people that can assist you. Visit several beauty consultants and take advantage of their expertise. They can not only show you products that best suit your skin and features, but also show you how to best apply those products and give you some hints on the latest trends. When you find the look you want, then practice, practice, practice.
Choose a makeup that is close to your skin tone for a natural look and set the makeup with powder to keep it looking fresh longer. Using a lipliner pencil will help prevent lipstick from running. Hint: If you softly color your lips with the pencil under your regular lipstick, the color will last longer. Don't forget waterproof mascara if there is any chance tears of joy will flow! Add soft eyeshadow and a touch of blush, and you will be ready for the special event!

Impulsivity and profound early deafness: a cross cultural inquiry
K. Z. Altshuler, W. E. Deming, J. Vollenweider, J. D. Rainer, R. Tendler
Psychological tests of impulsivity were administered to 250 adolescent subjects with early profound deafness in the United States (New York State) and Yugoslavia, and in 100 hearing adolescents in each country. Subjects were screened for brain damage and matched for IQ and socio economic status. Results indicate that the deaf were more impulsive than the hearing and to a comparable extent in both countries, while Yugoslavs in general were more impulsive than Americans. The large sample of normal deaf subjects provides also a first approximation to normative data for the deaf in the psychological measures used.

Do words affect our thoughts, feelings, and responsive actions?
If I "cue" you to sit in a chair, what is your reaction? What is the language that suggests a cue? What relationship might we build from there?
If I "direct" you to sit in a chair, what is your reaction? What is the language of direction? What relationship might we build from there?
And if I "command" or "order" you to sit in a chair, what is your reaction? What is the language and emotion behind a command or an order? What relationship might we build from there?
In all cases you are now sitting in a chair (or not) but…how do you feel about it? How do you feel about me? How do I feel about you, and my ability (or power) to make you do things?
And if you opt not to sit in the chair for any reason, what do each of these words suggest will happen next?
In the year 2018, I'd really like to think that most of us have removed the word "command" or "order" from our vocabulary under the vast majority of circumstances. At best, the implication is that failure to respond may well be met with some type of force or negative consequence and at worst, it poisons our thinking vis a vis the other.
Does it matter what we say? What we call these words that we generate in our thoughts and express from our mouths?
"Command" comes from a military model of the world. It assumes both a hierarchy and a punishment based system. One being has authority over another and a system of punishing consequences is well established to deal with those who fail to comply.
I cannot remember the last time I commanded anyone to do anything. Not even when I worked with inmates in a locked facility (7 years!). I didn't command people to do things. I directed them. "Commanding" obedience would have been a good way to end up on the wrong side of a very angry group of individuals, and the general consensus among both staff and management was that avoiding adversarial interactions was an excellent idea. My position power was enough to either get the job done or to provide me with excellent leverage should I have needed it.
And when I fired people for a living (3 years!)? I often advised managers of challenging employees to "order" an employee to do something that was currently not happening. I did this because it was a legal requirement before termination, not because I thought it was a good idea.
And what happened after orders were given? Well, the "ordered" individual either did or did not comply, but they sure turned into a sullen mess from that day forward, pretty much ensuring the misery of everyone around them even as they managed to stay on the "right" side of employment. No surprise there. Commanding and ordering others is surely one of the ugliest forms of interaction. No one thrives on being powerless, and no healthy relationship thrives that way either.
There's no reason for a person to command another person. If you are a teacher, judge, or evaluator, go ahead and direct others. There is no reason to "command" your dog either. Cue him and take your decision making from there as well.
Maybe it's time to stop thinking in terms of having your "commands" obeyed or disobeyed and start thinking in terms of creating circumstances that allow for a win/win. To get there, choose words which align with the relationship you'd like to have.
Next week I'll give you some ideas about training in a manner that avoids forward creep in the new Cue Discrimination Exercise in AKC Open Obedience.
Note: Late registration at Fenzi Dog Sports Academy wraps up on Thursday the 15th, so pick your class and get registered if you've been procrastinating!
Love this! I'm an auditor and commanding people definitely does not work in my world!
It is not so much the 'word' that matters as to what the consequences of not complying are. I am happy using the word "command", but have changed to "cue" because of the way people interpret the word "command" and so object to it. In teaching people we simply "tell them to" or instruct them. I would prefer to use 'ask'.
