Yep, I'll swallow my pride and tell you it is me, not them.
When the girls don't clean up their toys in a timely manner or I have to ask them for the tenth time to JUST CLEAN UP! I get frustrated with them and their stuff. Sometimes I take the toys they don't clean up away and other times I'll just wait (after begging and raising my voice) for them to clean it up.
I know my kids are being kids. I should be savoring these moments, right? They won't be little forever.
I don't what to be a mom that is uptight about our house being pristine. I want our house feel like home. I want our house to feel (and consequently look) lived it.
But I don't want my home to have toys everywhere at all times.
Is it possible or is it an oxymoron?
The girls have a habit of making a mess in one room and going to another and going to another and then going upstairs and dumping the toys boxes. So that is four different places for them to spread their treasures and play and dress up and create.
But that's four places that took them less than 5 minutes to take apart and can take them upwards of an hour to clean up and lots of encouraging and timer setting threats on our part.
It drives me crazy that I let myself get upset with my kids over their lackluster clean up ways. I should have bigger things to worry/stress/get upset over, right? I don't want to yell at them (but sometimes it happens) to clean up their stuff. I would just rather them clean it up quickly the first time I ask - but they are kids so that's not a terribly reasonable expectation.
I would rather them have less stuff to clean up because then they'd clean up quicker. Quite possible. Taking away the toys they cannot clean up after 20 minutes or whatever the REASONABLE given clean up time has helped. They really don't miss too many things. However, this timed clean up leads to E SCREAMING at R to CLEAN UP. Then I am reminded that's what I probably sound like aside from the fact the volume is excessive; or wait, my volume is probably excessive and E is just a recording of me. I've talked to a few other parents who have a similar system of limiting toy quantities and rotating them in and out of commission. Sounds like a good idea and every night the floors are picked up. And if don't yell and worry about the mess until the clean up time then I'm golden. So I am adopting a stress free clean up mentality.
I would rather them have fewer spaces to play so their play (mess) is contained. We used to keep their kitchen in our kitchen/dining room. Last week we moved it into their room so that is one less space to have their stuff. This has been awesome. We opted to keep the kitchen accessible to M because she cannot go upstairs unsupervised (actually she has made her way upstairs all by herself unnoticed - #thirdchildprobs but we've since gotten a gate) and E just got little Legos that even a 2.5 yr old doesn't need to have their hands on. In the girls' room there is a box for stuffed animals - because they NEED them for tea parties, a box for Legos and all kitchen items belong in the kitchen - either in the frig, dishwasher or oven. Yes their room can get torn apart in a heartbeat and E and R might come out screaming they've stepped on a Lego and their foot hurts BUT it is an improvement for my sanity.
Yeah it was bad. Does that stress me out? Yep it does but I can turn off the light when I leave and not think about it- whereas the toys and clutter at home really makes me consider how cluttered our/my life is. Makes me think how stuff of such little value takes up my time when I really could and should focus my head and heart on things that matter.
Well now my house is perfectly clean, my adorable children always pick up their messes immediately without being asked and I never ever raise my voice. And if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you! Haha I TOTALLY get your frustration. Yes not stressing is helpful, but it is reasonable to want some tidy spaces where you don't have to worry about getting a mini Lego imbedded in your foot. I have purged toys time and again to cut down on the mess but it can be helpful to have other privileges hinge on clean up.
So far I have no stepped on one of the mini Legos but man those Duplo Legos hurt too!
I was hoping there was a solution at the end of the story ;) Because I fight and scream and threaten about cleaning up toys too! Our living room has been "playland" since the first was born, and now with 3 (the youngest at age 2, who needs to be kept away from the little stuff still), there are just toys EVERYWHERE!!! They don't generally play in their rooms because "I don't want to go upstairs by myself!" :( So, PlayLand it is!
I've totally let myself get way too upset over the toys too!
We have found that the nightly clean up is crucial. We usually give them a 10 or 15 or 20 minute (depending on the mess) warning to clean up before dinner (and set a timer) and anything left out that I have to clean up is taken upstairs. I calmly clean up the remaining toys while screams and tears come from the girls. By doing that a few times it has A. cut down on their toys because they don't clean all of them up and B. shown them we are serious about cleaning up in a TIMELY manner and C. gives us a fresh, CLEAN slate to wake up to.
Whatever you do I'd say it is worth going through a nightly clean up and being consistent about consequences for toys left out. Once that expectation is set then everyone's on the same page.


I find myself saving odd things: receipts from dates that I've been on, handwritten notes, concert tickets, and sometimes tags from the clothes I buy (they make awesome bookmarks!). I used to think that I was just sentimental, but now I'm not so sure. I collect quite a few things, as well, besides the sentimental. But, these things are what most people would consider normal: books, bicycles, shoes and clothing. After reading the book Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things by Gail Steketee and Randy Frost, I'm starting to think that I might have some slight hoarder tendencies.
Hoarding is a compulsion to hang on to objects, inanimate and sometimes animate, that has been linked to OCD. It is described primarily by the inability to discard objects and also by the compulsion to always acquire certain objects. I'm guilty of a little bit of both, though, probably, more so, the latter.
In the book Stuff the authors describe certain cases of hoarding and the people in the lives that are affected by the person who suffers from this disorder. It delves into the psyche of these individuals and allows the reader to see the mindset of what can trigger a person to start hoarding, and also what keeps them in the mindset of always having to acquire or not discard an object.
I found myself comparing my collecting tendencies with the people in the book who suffer from extreme hoarding. A few of the triggers and reasoning I was able to relate to, and it had me smiling thinking, yeah, that's me. For example, one lady had a compulsion to constantly hoard and buy new clothes. So much so, that she nearly sent her husband and her family into bankruptcy and had accumulated a massive amount of debt. Her reasoning behind purchasing an item? If it was on sale or at a reduced price, it seemed absurd not to take advantage of the reduced price and buying the item. I find myself using this logic a lot when deciding to purchase an item that I'm not entirely sure I should acquire.
Another similar "gift" that I find I have in common with some of the hoarders, is the ability to see the potential function of an item (clothing tags as bookmarks) and also the detail and aesthetics of an item. Maybe that's why I'm such a fan of art and museums? The book mentions that most hoarders have the inability to decide on something immediately (guilty) and that some have symmetry obsession (also, guilty). Symmetry obsession meaning that a person must have things set in a certain way, lined up, or spaced apart in a certain manner that is to their liking. Someone pointed out that I do this, which, I was completely unaware of, though, it's not that severe. Another difference—that leads me to believe that I'm not a complete hoarder—is that I'm able to see that I have a lot of stuff and can recognize that I don't have a lot of space in my apartment as it is. A lot of hoarders in the book end up filling their house beyond capacity, storage units, and sometimes a second house! They cannot see that they've amassed an overwhelming amount of stuff, and are only sometimes aware of it if someone is visiting their house. This leads a lot of hoarders to live a life of solitude.
Stuff does not get too wordy with psychological terminology and does not leave the reader feeling like they should have majored in psychology to get the concept that is being presented. It is a clear and concise book, and is a very enjoyable read from start to finish. It definitely provided insight into why I may hold on to a receipt from a sushi restaurant, a guide from an art exhibition that I attended at The Modern, or even small plastic hangers that came with some sweat bands that I purchased—I immediately knew I was going to use them to prop my iPhone up before tossing them into the recycling bin.
Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things is definitely a book that should be added to your collection (or at least read, if your collection is already way too big). Through the study of various hoarding cases it provides insight on what it means to hoard, why it is people do it, and what can lead to it. Read this book and you might just find, there's a little bit of hoarder in all of us.


The VLA board voted in favor of supporting the legislation at our November 2013 meeting. At that point, H.385 had already been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on General Housing and Military Affairs. A second bill was introduced in the Senate in January of 2014 and referred to the Senate Committee on Economic Development, Housing and General Affairs.
The ability to serve wine, champagne, or beer can help libraries facilitate key fundraising events. During 2011-2012, Vermont's public libraries relied on private and grant funding for 17% of their budgets. For smaller libraries, private and grant funding made up 40% of their budgets. Vermont is one of only a handful of states that directs no funding in its budget toward public libraries, which increases the need for innovative approaches to fundraising at local levels. The ability to host a wine and cheese event or a champagne toast provides a helpful fundraising tool for libraries to fund programs such as summer reading, digital literacy, community events, and much more.
Libraries would be able to celebrate landmarks, milestones, and community events without the time and money necessary to obtain a liquor license. Libraries could occasionally serve alcoholic refreshments at book readings, openings, or dedications without the direct and indirect costs associated with licensing. This would increase a local library's ability to function as a festive and welcoming space where people can join together in community celebration.

Nexon exec: the game war will be won in digital online markets, not consoles (interview)
The chief financial officer of Nexon saw very little that would impact the future of the game industry at E3.
GamesBeat: Clash of Clans seems kind of like that. I don't know why it's so popular. I've been stuck in the same place and trying to get through for two weeks now.
Mahoney: There's a lot of games like that. All the casual games that have that sort of effect, they look incredibly successful right up until the point that it stops. Then they fail badly. We've seen this several times in the past. You know the names.
Put it another way — your success in free-to-play, the metrics that really matter, there's four of them. First, monthly active users, pay rate, and average revenue per paying user per month. You multiply those together to get your revenue marker. It's easy to do. The fourth metric that matters is your longevity, your average lifetime per user, versus churn. It's how long a person sticks around.
If you do something that alienates a user — Like, if we're sitting here and a woman comes and offers us a double espresso and we say thanks, we're not going to expect to see her back here for another 15 minutes. If she comes back and says, "How about something else? How about something else? You can't actually sit here unless you're buying something every four minutes." They might get a little more money out of us this time, but next time you and I meet, we're gonna sit somewhere else. A smart restaurant will say, "Hey, bug us if we need anything," but they're not going to bother us, so we have a good experience in their restaurant.
That's how it works in free-to-play games as well. The mistake is — this is weird in our industry — so many game makers have gotten so fixated on monetizing rather than delivering a good game. They're not confident in their ability to monetize. What we learned, by making that same mistake in Korea 10 years ago, is that you alienate your user base. Once you alienate your user base you have no business to monetize. It helps that we're not really in the casual games business.
But going back to the example you raised, there's a perfect history of casual games going like this and then dropping like this. The less you push people to monetize, the more you're going to get out of them. That's how it works.
GamesBeat: What are you putting a lot of emphasis on?
Mahoney: The things that matter are the free-to-play model done right — that's the business we invented. We were the first ones to do it. We stumbled on it, we worked it for a long time, and then other people started doing it, first in the east and then in the west. That's the best way to monetize games, when done well.
The second thing we're focused on is immersion. We've done casual over the years. I'd say we're not as good at it as some people. But we find that immersive games, games people play for years on end, are a better business. They're also more typically the kinds of games that we want to play inside the company. We like immersive games more. Some people call it hardcore. When I think hardcore, I think hard to learn, hard to master. There are games in this industry that I love, but it took me a while to learn them. But when I think of immersive games, I think of easy to learn, hard to master. You immediately start playing and feeling like it's easy to learn, and it progresses you very quickly in terms of your knowledge of how to play the game. We like to make immersive games, not casual games.
GamesBeat: And that can go across territories.
Mahoney: Absolutely. Immersive games are a massive market. What people talk a lot about sometimes is casual games, because there's a whole new group of gamers who've never played games before. My older sister, who's past 50 now, she plays casual games on her phone. When you get on the subway in Tokyo, you'll see young men and women playing on their mobile devices. There's a whole new mass of gamers.
But also, there's a group of people like you find in Korea, and it's really changed. You talk to 20-year-old women in Korea and they'll say, "Yeah, I play a lot of StarCraft. I grew up playing Maple Story. Now I'm playing Sudden Attack." And they're really into it. You talk to them about how they're playing games and they're serious gamers. They're not just messing around. In the United States — I thought Jane McGonigal's book was really good, Reality Is Broken. She talks about something we joke about internally: the rise of the global nerd. What once was nerddom, now people just think of as a synthetic or designed flow experience. It's why people like to play golf. I like to kiteboard. I get really into it, even if it seems esoteric for a lot of people. We know that's a massive market. We have 80 million monthly active users around the world.
The third area we're concentrating on is online synchronous multiplayer. That's much more fun. Asynchronous is not really interesting from a gaming perspective or as a business.
GamesBeat: As far as acquiring companies goes, the stock market has changed a lot. Your stock price isn't rising. What is your strategy?
Mahoney: Well, our stock price has been stuck at somewhere between 1,000 and 1,300 for a little less than a year. We went out at 1,300, so we didn't get the same shellacking as a lot of people, but clearly the public equity markets do not trust that there's growth in the games business. No matter how much we show it, it seems that public equity investor — If you do a peg chart, and you show growth over PEs, what you find is a flat line. It should go up and to the right, but what you find is a flat line. Most of the industry, except for one or two, are right in that flat.
Zynga is out of it a little bit. They're actually a little bit higher because their earnings just came apart. Their PE has gone up quickly. Tencent is above it, because they're really considered a tech company meets a platform meets a search engine meets a messaging app. They're not really considered a game companies. But game companies around the world are all in that band.
GamesBeat: EA lost its CEO over this stock trading pattern. But they seem to have done the best they could.
Mahoney: I thought that was unfair. It's hard. But I'd say we're all in that band. That's the public domain. What's interesting is that the private company valuations are many times much, much higher. It creates a conundrum for a company that's private, that's growing quickly, that's been valued over one or two rounds of capital like a private company, and then it looks to a public company to acquire it to get an exit for the venture capital guys, or it looks to go do an IPO.
We were the second-largest IPO in the world in 2011. We were 80 percent of the IPO market in Japan when we went out. We were about a week ahead of Zynga when they went out, and we were bigger than their IPO. We've talked to everybody. I can tell you, there's a big disconnect between what most of the venture capital community is valuing private companies and what almost all public company investors are valuing video companies. At the same time, a lot of the buyers have left the scene.
GamesBeat: Zynga's not buying anybody anymore.
Mahoney: And guess who else isn't buying? EA isn't buying. There's a few of us left of size, but there's not a lot of well-capitalized public companies that are ready to step up to the kind of valuations that some people would expect. We're patient and we're well-capitalized. If you know your business and you're not chasing after — if you're not out to buy revenue in the near term — you can afford to be patient. We're not a "buy revenue" type of acquirer. We're a strategic acquirer. Our M&A track record has been all about buying companies that will continue to grow over time and getting the right price.
When we did the Gloops acquisition in Japan, we paid somewhere between five and five and a half times EBITDA. On a forward basis, it was somewhere between four and four and a half times EBITDA. That's a different valuation than you get from a lot of private companies.

At Access Institute we take our fellows' experiences seriously and build a supportive community of peers and professionals to promote their growth and education. Our Fellows are taught by contemporary thinkers who have evolved psychoanalytic practice in meaningful ways.
Doctoral Internship
Access Institute's Doctoral Internship Program is accredited by the American Psychological Association's Commission on Accreditation*.
Our next review period is September 1, 2023.
*Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation, American Psychological Association, 750 First Street NE. Washington, DC 20002-4242.
Telephone: 202-336-5979. www.apa.org/ed/accreditation
Access Institute provides high-quality psychological care to people of all ages who fall through the socioeconomic cracks while training the next generation of mental health professionals through a model that values human complexity, supports socially conscious practice, and promotes sustained human growth. We serve people in the "gap" – those who are marginalized and not served by existing mental health systems.
At Access Institute, we utilize a psychoanalytically-oriented model of mental health care. This model takes a depth approach to treatment and appreciates the complexity of each individual and the varied and idiosyncratic forms of mental suffering. We not only believe in reducing symptoms, but also value the long-term goals of expanding people's capacity to live more meaningful and satisfying lives. We soundly reject the idea that lack of adequate financial resources should be a barrier to this type of treatment. Our treatment model recognizes that individual experience in all its complexity is embedded in one's social context, and working within that context is a critical element to fostering therapeutic growth.
Our full-time internship program trains four doctoral interns over a 12-month period, during which time interns provide clinical services and receive training and supervision from some of the Bay Area's top clinicians. Our doctoral internship program provides an intellectually rigorous and emotionally immersive training in psychoanalytic psychology. At Access Institute you are taught and supervised by contemporary thinkers who have evolved psychoanalytic practice in meaningful ways.
Interns provide psychotherapy (individual and couple) and conduct comprehensive psychological testing at our Hayes Valley clinic in San Francisco for 17 hours per week; participate in 3 hours of individual supervision and 1.5 hours of group supervision, plus 7.5 hours of training (didactics, case conference, and community and cohort meetings) weekly, and spend the rest of their time engaging in administrative activities.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have shifted our training and clinical work to remote meetings. Charting and paperwork will be done through an electronic health record system. We have included new classes that take up the challenge of telehealth work, and make space for those discussions in supervision and case conferences. Interns are able to access the Hayes Valley clinic, should they wish to have in-person meetings, or a physical space from which to work.
Applicants must register for the Match using the online registration system on the NMS Match System website at www.natmatch.com/psychint
Please include with your online application the following supporting documents:
Current curriculum vitae
Three letters of recommendation from those familiar with your clinical work
Official transcripts from graduate school(s)
De-identified psychological assessment report

Postgraduate Fellowship
Access Institute fellowship is a full-time, in-person, psychoanalytic postgraduate training program. We accept postmasters and postdoc trainees seeking to accrue hours towards one of the following degrees:
MFT, LCSW, LCPP, PsyD, PhD
The fellows dedicate 50% of their clinical hours to working at the outpatient clinic in Hayes Valley, where they see individual adult, couples, and children. Additionally, the fellows choose one of two community-based specialties: School based program or Elder program. The other 50% of clinical work is done at the community site; SFUSD elementary school or the Adult Day Health Center at Bayview Hunter's Point.
The following are descriptions of our two programs:
Elder Program: Bringing culturally sensitive, psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy to marginalized communities is the hallmark of this program. Elder Program fellows compliment their clinic hours with work in senior-service agencies in Bayview-Hunters Point where they provide individual, group, and milieu therapy to primarily African-American seniors. This population is marginalized not only by virtue of race and socioeconomic status, but also by being old in a culture that devalues and disavows aging. Fellows examine how this ethos impacts their clients as well as their own work. Fellows participate in an elder focused clinical case conference and receive group supervision and didactics on psychodynamic/person-centered elder care in addition to training on consultation and collaboration with agency staff (nurses, social workers, physical therapists, etc.). Fellows can expect to wrestle with the question of how to hold an internal frame while modifying traditional features of therapy to meet their clients' needs. Trainees interested in cultivating an internal psychodynamic frame in tandem with creative and agile technique adapted to complex factors (culture, non-traditional setting, wide range of functional levels and capacities) are encouraged to apply to the Elder Program.
School-Based Program: Fellows in the School-Based Program provide care for children at 6 San Francisco public elementary schools where they become part of the school environment. We talk to teachers, social workers, and principals. We walk the halls, visit the cafeteria, and encounter our clients' classmates and peers. Our impact on our clients is not simply during the clinical hour, but throughout our time on campus. This requires thoughtful consideration of our multiple roles at the school, and the development of an internal frame that supports our clinical thinking. Fellows in the School-Based
Program receives training focused on developing a flexible internal frame. In addition, they will receive training in consultation and collaboration, as well as in psychodynamic play therapy.
To apply to the Access Institute Fellowship, please include the following:
Cover letter stating your interest in psychoanalytic training and one of the community mental health specialties (1 page)
Autobiographical essay (2 pages)
Theoretical orientation essay (2 pages)

How do you put your socks on? Do you carefully roll them up or do you stick your foot in and wiggle? If something as trivial as getting dressed can be used to highlight differences and similarities between us, imagine where else we can illustrate this concept.
From our early years at school, we are immediately faced with the challenge of following trends or standing out. Whereas the safe option may be to follow due to a fear of being different, it seems important to consider the effect this can have on our self-esteem. In fact, the positive or negative outcome we associate with standing out or blending in may have a lasting effect on our future decisions. Fortunately, taking the bold decision to stand out may become less daunting as we grow older. Or perhaps we will overanalyse the situation and hold back. Either way, it will inevitably lead to new experiences and it could even become the norm.
Anatomically speaking, human posture is consistent across the globe and yet, we can still find many differences in the way we all stand. Physical injuries and emotional stresses are all reflected in the way we carry ourselves at any given moment. As such, this can affect how we react to certain situations and movement patterns. Indeed, postural anomalies will often be the result of a complex network of tensegrity across our bodies. In fact, even the same posture on two individuals can be the result of very different biomechanical forces pushing and pulling them in different directions.
Tom Robbins once said "Our similarities bring us to a common ground. Our differences allow us to be fascinated by each other". Even within tight-knit friendship groups there will be notable differences in the way each individual approaches a new environment or task. As such, this can provide frequent opportunities for learning new tricks or embracing particular aspects of work and play. In fact, this could also be true of interactions with people we do not know. Think of the last time you had a conversation with a stranger. Did the conversation flow smoothly? Beyond the usual small talk, we tend to try and find some common ground to discuss. However, if the silence should become deafening, it could be worth attempting to unearth differences. Although this may end the conversation if we touch a nerve, it could also provide the necessary spark to make it a memorable interaction!

General Information and Policies/
2022-23 Handbook Navigation
Policy Statement and Scope
Johnson & Wales University (JWU) has designed this policy and procedure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The university intends to provide qualified students who have disabilities and/or health conditions with accommodations to the extent required by the ADA, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and any similar, applicable state law.
The policy and procedure apply to qualified students (undergraduate, graduate and online) with a documented disability and/or health condition:
Who wish to obtain an accommodation at JWU;
Who identify themselves as having a disability and/or health condition;
Who seek accommodation; and
Who (a) are enrolled at the university or (b) have been accepted and will be enrolled at the university.
Information students submit to the university pursuant to this policy and procedure, is confidential. Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center may grant access to appropriate individuals who have an educational need to know, including to effectuate this policy and procedure, in case of an emergency, or as permitted by law.
JWU applies the following terms using the definitions supplied by federal law and regulations.
"Accommodation" means an adjustment to an activity, course, or program that enables a qualified student with a disability to have an equal educational opportunity but does not lower or modify essential requirements; fundamentally alter the nature of an activity, course, or program; or result in undue financial or administrative burdens.
"Disability" means a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
"Qualified" as referred to a student means one who meets the academic and technical standards requisite to admission or to participation in the activity, course, or program at issue, with or without appropriate accommodations.
Procedure Related to Accommodation(s)
To receive an accommodation, students must submit a request to Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center. Students are responsible for adequately identifying and documenting their requests and supplementing their requests as needed. The request must
Be in writing and should include (at minimum) an identification of the disability, the requested accommodation, and documentary support for the disability/health condition and accommodation (including information on functional limitations to support the existence of a disability and the need for an accommodation) from a medical provider, such as a physician or mental health professional, neither of whom may be a relative of the student's.
Be submitted in a timely fashion, such that the request allows time for adequate consideration and decision. Students should try to submit first-time pre-enrollment requests at least eight weeks before the start of the school year, provided that this deadline may be waived in the university's sole discretion where appropriate.
Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center will determine whether the information provided is sufficient and whether the request is otherwise adequate. Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center will request such further information as it may require. Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center will determine whether the condition fits the legal definition of a disability, whether an accommodation is appropriate, and, if so, what type of accommodation is appropriate. In making this determination, Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center will consult with faculty, other university employees, or other appropriate personnel as needed. If the appropriate personnel with whom Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center must consult are not faculty or other university employees, the student should provide Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center a release to allow Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center to discuss the matter with such appropriate personnel.
Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center considers accommodations on a case-by-case basis; accommodations may be available for certain activities, courses, or programs but not others. The determination of an accommodation, including whether or not to approve it, may depend in part on the nature of the activity, course, or program at issue.
If Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center grants the request for an accommodation, it will notify the student and provide the student with a letter setting forth the granted accommodation and other relevant details, which the student may then share with the appropriate personnel (such as faculty or other university employees or other appropriate personnel) who need to know about the accommodation to implement it. The appropriate individuals will then implement the accommodation, with the personnel and with the student consulting each other and Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center as needed.
Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center does not grant accommodations retroactively. For example, grades cannot be changed based on claims that a disability was not accommodated if no such accommodation was sought or granted before the work at issue was completed. Likewise, absences cannot be excused retroactively based on claims that a disability was not accommodated if no such accommodation was sought or granted before the absence.
Each semester, students must renew their accommodation requests and potentially provide updated documentation or such other information as Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center may require.
Grievance(s) Procedure Related to Accommodation(s)
Students may file a grievance from the determinations of Accessibility Services/the Academic & Career Excellence (ACE) Center solely as outlined under the JWU's Student Disability Grievance Policy and Procedures.

The Intersectionality of Race and Disability
ADA Compliance Division intern, Caitlyn Johnson, prepared a detailed fact sheet highlighting the intersectionality of Black and disability identities as well as recognizing the disparities that exist in these communities. The piece originally ran in the ADA Compliance Division newsletter that goes to state ADA Compliance Coordinators (ADACs) in every department. MDNR then shared the piece with members of their staff involved with disability-related matters.
Nationally, approximately 5.6 million African Americans have a disability, and in Michigan, roughly one third have a disability. Having a combination of these identities often results in increased inequities, specifically in education, employment, healthcare, and interactions with law enforcement.
In education:
Black students with disabilities are disproportionately suspended in school. More than 1 in 4 boys of color with disabilities and nearly 1 in 5 girls of color with disabilities receive an out-of-school suspension.
57% of Black students with disabilities graduate high school compared to 74.6% of Black students without disabilities.
In employment:
There are 3.4 million African Americans with disabilities of working age.
Only 28.7% of working-age African Americans with disabilities are employed while 72% of working-age African Americans without disabilities are employed.
Approximately 40% of African Americans with disabilities are living in poverty compared to 22% of African Americans without disabilities.
In healthcare:
Many people who are Black/African American and have disabilities have chronic underlying health conditions that make them vulnerable to COVID-19.
African Americans are less likely to have access to COVID-19 testing resources and they receive worse care when they do have access.
Blacks are disproportionately represented in settings where the risk of COVID-19 is highest (i.e., correctional facilities and congregate care).
In law enforcement interactions:
Racial profiling remains a persistent issue in policing. African Americans with disabilities may be unable to understand or cooperate with law enforcement orders.
People who are deaf may not be able to hear or understand orders, while someone with mental or cognitive disabilities may not respond well to officers.
Police officers who lack appropriate training or cultural understanding to work with people with disabilities and/or the African American community may have their preconceptions exacerbated when interacting with these individuals. This can lead to unnecessarily violent or even fatal outcomes.
Recognizing and understanding the intersection of identities and the realities that come with it can be a huge first step in addressing disparities and challenging biases.
The Department of Civil Rights investigates and resolves discrimination complaints and works to prevent discrimination through educational programs that promote voluntary compliance with civil rights laws.
Balancing a rewarding career with the ability to have a high-quality lifestyle is important. In Michigan, you can have both. If you're interested in a career that allows you to make a difference, check out the state of Michigan career portal for a list of current openings in state government.

Conventional promoting has turned out to be exhausting, everyday and common. In your mission for SEO improvement and greatest introduction, sounding excessively conventional in your video will close individuals out.
For most associations, there's no lack of potential video content. Consider your group of onlookers and what you need them to think about you.
A decent first video is an explainer about what your organization does and your identity. At that point, you'll need to make recordings for each progression of the showcasing pipe.
It's said that purchasers accomplish the greater part their item explore autonomous of sellers, so you'll need to give recordings to each progression of that adventure.
Fun crusade recordings can breathe life into torment focuses and refine your image. Item demo recordings can rapidly instruct groups of onlookers and fabricate confide in your offers.
Interviews with thought pioneers and clients can move groups of onlookers and rapidly assemble confide in what you do as well as why you do it.
Also, as purchasers draw in straightforwardly with your business group, customized recordings can bring the human component once more into the computerized offering process.
Making an outwardly animating video, pressed with heaps of data will support SEO so it turns into the following huge hit that all of a sudden becomes famous online.
The excellence of this key video is that it is outwardly intriguing and stuffed with data, as well as serves as an instructional video without appearing to be a customary preparing arrangement.
There is something about an activity that makes subjects lighter, less extraordinary, all the more captivating thus individual.
Activities talk "to you" instead of "at you". Having an assortment of drawing in recordings and movement for your business is exceptionally key. Counting some toon promotions can change up your library in your YouTube channel.
Yes, the truth is out, making only one video is just the begin. You have to construct a suite of recordings to drive activity.
As any producer can let you know, altering is one of the hardest strides. All that substance you shot is extraordinary. Everything your organization does is astounding. You couldn't in any way, shape or form do it equity in one moment.
Tragically, viewers have limited capacity to focus so you need to keep it short, particularly initially. As you fabricate your video library and measure viewership, you'll begin to see where there is interest for longer inside and out recordings.
Your tactics must always focus on the people not only in the product. If you're not able to compose a featured story beneath it, then no one's going to take interest on it. As a result, individuals relate to other individuals, not the objects itself. Place an individual to the organization.
You ought to begin to fuse different identities behind your promoting endeavors with a specific end goal to give your organization a specific identity.

Finally, put it in your mind that, some of the people has fears on facing such cameras and would definitely look for an excuse to avoid the scenery.

Expect the DOE Electric Grid Study to End with a Fizzle, Not a Bang: NRDC
July 31, 2017 By Elisa Wood 1 Comment
John Moore and Miles Farmer, of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), explain why a much-anticipated DOE electric grid study is unlikely to succeed in propping up coal over renewables.
Anticipation is building in advance of the release of a study ordered by Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Rick Perry to examine "critical issues central to protecting the long-term reliability of the electric grid." It is more likely to end with a fizzle than a bang, however, because not only did a leaked draft conclude that renewable energy isn't undermining the grid, the reality is that DOE has limited legal authority over grid reliability.
Perry's directions for the study telegraphed a desire to prop up coal and blame renewable energy for imagined reliability issues, but the leaked draft concludes that "the grid is in good shape despite the retirement of many baseload power plants," and "significantly higher levels of renewable energy can be integrated without any compromise of system reliability." However, according to a DOE spokesperson, the study is "evolving," so whether these conclusions make the final cut is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, allies of Donald Trump have sought to minimize the study's overall importance.
While it would be foolhardy for Perry to reject the conclusions of DOE's expert staff (which are backed by robust data and numerous studies), officials would be right to temper expectations about the final version's immediate relevance to regulating the grid because DOE is not the primary agency responsible for grid reliability. That duty falls on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), regional grid operators, utilities, and other entities. DOE can use its bully pulpit to prompt discussion of important issues facing the power sector, but those conversations are occurring anyway in the normal course of the operation and management of the grid.
Although DOE has authority to order power plants to operate to maintain grid reliability during unforeseen grid emergencies, its exercise of this authority based on a broad grid review would clearly be inappropriate. Therefore, any use of the final study should be rightly limited, at most, to prompting further analysis, rather than as a basis for any substantive regulatory action.
DOE's powers over grid reliability
Section 202 of the Federal Power Act outlines specific narrow circumstances where the DOE may order continued operation of specific power plants to serve the public interest. It limits these powers to "war" and "emergenc[ies]," which DOE's regulations make clear are confined to "unexpected inadequate supply of electric energy," such as would be caused by "the unexpected outage of facilities" from events like "weather conditions" or "acts of God." (emphasis added).
The steady and inexorable decline of coal-fired power plants across the country caused by the inability to compete with cheaper natural gas, renewables, and flat consumer demand simply does not fall into this category. NERC and FERC have made clear that supplies are adequate in regions across the country (their most recent assessments are here and here).
[clickToTweet tweet="Expect Perry's Electric #Grid Study to End with a Fizzle, Not a Bang" quote="Expect the DOE Electric Grid Study to End with a Fizzle, Not a Bang"]
Beyond Section 202 of the Federal Power Act, DOE's grid powers are chiefly advisory and procedural. The DOE Organization Act, which divided authority between FERC and DOE, leaves FERC with sole responsibility for major areas like overseeing regional energy markets, while allowing both DOE and FERC to do things like carry out investigations and hold hearings about matters affecting the grid. While the DOE Organization Act does empower DOE to make rules in certain very limited areas, DOE is required to refer rules to FERC where they involve FERC's authority under the Federal Power Act. And NERC is responsible in most instances for developing grid reliability standards, subject to FERC oversight. In other words, FERC and NERC are the top dogs on grid reliability, and DOE plays a support role with analysis. (FERC is an independent agency housed within DOE, but in practice they function as separate agencies.)
How this applies to Perry's study
The upshot of all of this is that DOE can and should play a positive supportive role through studies of grid reliability, while avoiding any sweeping regulatory actions in this area. Unfortunately, the DOE began this discussion on the faulty premise that "baseload" electricity supply is necessary for a well-functioning grid. (While "baseload" is a somewhat ambiguous term, it has historically been used to refer to large coal and nuclear plants.) Contrary to the study's framing, having "baseload" in the supply mix is not necessary to keep the lights on. The CEO of New England's grid operator recently explained, for example, that "[c]oal is largely irrelevant in New England," so the suggestion that it's needed to maintain resilience "just doesn't compute." As The Brattle Group, a global economics consulting firm, noted in a recent report commissioned by NRDC, referring to "'baseload' generation is no longer helpful for purposes of planning and operating today's electricity system."
This anachronistic framework is leading to some confusion in the leaked draft. It includes an awkward section, for example, suggesting a technology neutral definition of "baseload" without ever explaining why focusing on it is important or helpful. As Brattle's report explains, the focus of grid planners and operators should be on grid services like energy delivery, frequency regulation, and ramping capability (defined in a technology-neutral manner), not on outdated categorizations of plants according to whether they are "baseload," "intermediate" or "peaking."
Nonetheless, there is still time to channel the study in a productive direction, should Perry and his staff seize the opportunity to do so. For example, by retaining some of the leaked draft's conclusions, Perry could force the coal industry to confront hard truths, like: (1) the grid is more reliable than ever even as coal-fired generators are retiring; (2) it's possible to construct a reliable system without any "baseload," as is happening now; (3) low natural gas prices, not renewables, are the biggest driver of coal retirements nationwide; and (4) renewables are being dependably integrated into the system while providing valuable reliability services.
It would be a shame if Perry were to delete the draft report's sound conclusions at the behest of the coal industry or others. Given the unanimity of grid experts on these questions, it will not be credible to suggest the conclusions could be eliminated through the natural give-and-take of revisions by different DOE branches. Fortunately, DOE serves merely in an advisory role in most areas of grid operations, so even if the final report omits these conclusions, it should not have any direct and immediate impacts.

Driving Resiliency Through Your Organization's Energy Infrastructure
Leaders in large corporations, government agencies, and other organizations face numerous challenges in running their day-to-day operations. For them, energy – the lifeblood of many organizations – has historically been seen as reliable, and occasional power outages considered an inevitable cost of doing business. However, these same organizations are starting to view energy and the associated risks and opportunities in a new light as power outages continue to impact their organizations and as new energy innovations make it to market. Download this new white paper from Ameresco that explores ways in which government agencies, companies, and other organizations can leverage their energy infrastructure to minimize the adverse impacts of major events – in other words, become more resilient.


Prudential Insurance Company of America has been selected as the University's Life, Long Term Disability and Accidental Death and Dismemberment vendor. Prudential Insurance Company of America is an A-Rated Insurance company that offers the most competitive pricing and enhanced benefits.
Tufts University provides Basic Life Insurance for all benefits eligible employees through Prudential. This benefit is paid for by the University. The amount of coverage is equal to one times your annual base salary, rounded to the next highest $1,000, with a maximum of $1,000,000, except that coverage is limited at age 70 and up- see below.
Amount Limit Due to Age: When you are age 70 or more, your amount of insurance is limited. It is the Limited Percent (for that Age) of the amount for which you would then be insured if there were no limitation. Each Age and the Limited Percent for that Age are shown below.
The Limited Percent for an Age takes effect on the day you become insured if you are then that Age. Otherwise, each Limited Percent for an Age takes effect on the Employer's payroll date, coinciding with or next following the Employee's birthday. Payroll dates are the 1st and 15th of the month forsalaried employees, and each Friday for hourly employees.
The Supplemental Life Insurance program through Prudential offers you the opportunity to purchase additional life insurance coverage up to five (5) times your annual base salary or a $2,000,000 maximum. Amounts in excess of the lesser of 3 times your annual base salary or $750,000 require Evidence of Insurability. Supplemental Life Insurance can only be elected during the university's open enrollment period or within the first 31 days of your date of hire or if you have an eligible Qualified Status Change See Eligibility Section below.
As a new hire or newly benefits eligible employee, you can elect the lesser of 3X basic annual earnings or $750,000 of coverage without Evidence of Insurability. You may also request to elect 4X or 5X basic annual earnings with the submission of Evidence of Insurability information. Once Tufts Support Services has received approval from Prudential, we will start your payroll deductions retroactive to your hire date. See Evidence of Insurability for more information.
If you do not elect Supplemental or Dependent life when initially eligible or if you want to increase your coverage, you can request these changes if you experience an eligible Qualified Status Change or at any subsequent annual Open Enrollment by submitting Evidence of Insurability information to apply for the increase in coverage. Once you and the Benefits Office receive application approval from Prudential, payroll deductions will begin on the 1st of the month following approval or January 1st if an application is submitted and approved by December 31st at Open Enrollment. See Evidence of Insurability for more information.
*The premium for this plan is based upon your age as of the end of each pay period. As a result, your deduction amount may change after your next birthday.
To calculate rates for 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, make sure to multiple the annual salary by the # of times you would like to purchase.
Example: Employee Age = 60 Annual Salary = $40,000.
These coverages are guarantee issue to you as a new hire, which means you do not have to complete an evidence of insurability form and apply for coverage, you can just enroll.
If you choose coverage for your spouse or domestic partner, you will need to apply using a Prudential Short Form Health Statement during a subsequent annual open enrollment period. Supplemental Child Life Insurance does not require the Short Form Health Statement.
In the event you receive a claim payout, the payout you receive would not be taxable since these coverages are paid with after-tax payroll deductions.
Please note that the amount of your dependent coverage for a spouse or domestic partner cannot exceed your Basic and Supplemental Life coverage as an employee. For example, if your base annual salary is $40,000 and you only have basic life insurance (which is one times your salary), you cannot enroll in the $50,000 benefit for your spouse, unless you also enroll in one times your salary for supplemental life. Your total coverage (basic plus supplemental) must be equal to or greater than your spousal coverage.
Note: Prudential has a streamlined approach for making decisions regarding Evidence of Insurability applications. Once the Benefits Office has received approval from Prudential, payroll deductions will begin retroactive to your hire date or approval date, whichever is later.
? Events that change the number of your dependents (including birth, adoption or placement for adoption, or the death of a dependent, including a Domestic Partner).
All active, regular employees at the University are eligible, provided that you are one of the following, See pages 5-8 of the Summary Plan Description for Benefits Eligible Employees for full Eligibility information for Staff, Faculty, Dependents, and Retirees.

Being an adult is weird. Granted I'm only 22 and still steal whatever food I can from my parent's house when I visit. But for all technical purposes I'm an adult. I have a job, my own apartment, a cat and bills.
But I'm struggling to find the good in this new chapter of my life.
I really do like my job; but I'm extremely underpaid and my skills are underutilized. I like my co-workers and it's a job where I know we are making an impact. But going and sitting at a desk, staring at a computer screen is not where I wanted to end up. I know it's all relative, this won't be my life forever and I need to make the choice to change it. But even though things may change, I'm struggling to find the purpose and motivation in the ~adulthood~ I'm currently living.
This coming September I'm going to have to make one of the biggest decisions of my life. I will be finding a new job and city to call home, but currently have no idea where I'll end up.
But I'm starting to realizing that's really freaking exciting. It doesn't make working any easier; Kels and I complain on the regular to each other about how desk jobs are not for us. But the fact that I'm able to basically start over is motivating. Hopefully I will find a job that I love. Live in a city I love, maybe one I've never even been to (Rochester, MN) or go back to the city that will always feel like home (Madison, WI). Hell, maybe even Tennessee. Or even throwing a dart at a map and seeing where that takes me.There's nothing holding me back (besides money of course but that's a whole different post).
The feelings I have right now about the long-term changes I'll soon be facing are exhilarating. It's just like an extra shot. It's giving me that motivation and drive to find a new happiness. Sure, going to work every day is probably not going to be any easier. But at least I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Emilia is the New Global Ambassador For Clinique
January 15, 2020 Nicole Clinique Clinique Global Ambassador Photo Gallery
VANITY FAIR – Call it auspicious, to sit down with a former queen on the eve of a nail-biting election. It was a clear December morning in London, a day before Britons cast their fate (and Brexit's) with Boris Johnson, and the Protector of the Realm—to use one of Emilia Clarke's many titles on Game of Thrones—was assessing the political landscape. "Is it a full moon?" the actor said, interest piqued. (An Instagram astrologer had told me so.) "Maybe that will kick the . . . —no," she interrupted herself with a weary laugh. "It will just soften the patriarchy ever so lightly."
Clarke, whose now-departed character was known to scorch entire neighborhoods with one dragonic exhale, leads with a comparatively light hand. In a November post about the UK's voter-registration deadline, she delivered a message ("You have a voice. Use it!") with a silent procession of cue cards. Last March, when she first revealed her tumultuous medical history—a pair of brain aneurysms in the show's early days—she did so with a lyrical, unsparing essay on the New Yorker's website. She isn't much for peddling influence; instead, she reps sweatshirts for Same You, the charity she founded to support neurorehabilitation for young patients. After the GOT series finale and its torrent of press, she has kept things earnest and under-the-radar—however much someone with 26 million followers can slip into incognito mode.

Emilia to Debut in the West End in 'The Seagull'
December 22, 2019 Nicole Photo Gallery Photoshoots & Portraits The Seagull Theatre Theatre Works
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER – The 'Game of Thrones' star will appear as Nina in Jamie Lloyd's production of the classic Anton Chekhov play, opening in March 2020.
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke will return to the London stage, making her West End debut as Nina in Anya Reiss' modern adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, with Jamie Lloyd directing.
Chekhov's drama is set in the 19th century Russian countryside with a cast of characters dissatisfied with their lives. The character Nina is a hopeless romantic desperate for fame and a way out.
No word on casting for the other main roles in The Seagull adaptation at The Playhouse Theater, which is set to run from March 11 to May 30 next year. Lloyd, whose company brought Harold Pinter's Betrayal, starring Tom Hiddleston, to Broadway, promises a 21st century take on Chekhov's classic about ambition, love, loneliness and fame.
The Playhouse Theater will also host Jessica Chastain, making her own West End theater debut with a performance in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, also being produced by the Jamie Lloyd Company. James McAvoy currently is starring at the venue through Feb. 29 in a well-reviewed production of Martin Crimp's new adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac.
Clarke played Daenerys Targaryen on HBO's Game of Thrones, which wrapped up its eighth and final season in 2019. She also appeared in Solo: A Star Wars Story and Last Christmas. Clarke made her Broadway debut in 2013 in a short-lived stage adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Emilia Clarke: 'I didn't want people to think of me as sick'
December 02, 2019 Nicole Emilia Clarke Interviews News & Articles Photo Gallery Photoshoot: Behind the Scenes Press Releated
THE OBSERVER – Emilia Clarke had a headache. It was 2011, just before Valentine's Day and just after she'd wrapped on the first series of Game of Thrones, playing Daenerys Targaryen, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons. She didn't yet know, as she crawled into the locker room of her local gym in north London and vomited bile into the toilet, that Game of Thrones would run for seven further seasons, break Emmy-award records for most wins for a scripted television series and for a drama, be named one of the greatest TV shows of all time, and quickly come to define her. But there was much she didn't know.
She didn't know that at 24 she had suffered a life-threatening stroke, a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) caused by bleeding into the space surrounding the brain. She didn't know, as she lay on the floor repeating lines from Game of Thrones in order to test her memory, that a third of SAH patients die immediately, or that those who survive require urgent treatment to avoid a second, often fatal bleed. She didn't know there was another swollen blood vessel in her brain, which had doubled in size by the time she finished filming season three. She didn't know that one day, eight years later, over biscuits on her pink sofa, she would be smiling with the dark realisation that her stroke was one of the best things that could have happened to her.
Her pink sofa is in her pink house, which is also green and blue and muted shades of rust, and has a secret bar hidden in a courtyard shed, and an outdoor screening room heated by a wood-burning stove. To walk into her living room, where one corner is painted with a symbol relating to her mum, another to her late dad, and a third with a meaningful dragon, is to enter the cosiest corner of Clarke's mind. By the stairs, horsehair is visible in the plaster; the walls are stripped back to the bone. She shows me round with a raw sort of glee, a sense that her comfort and safety are bound into the details: the friends' art on the walls, the "single girl's" bedroom. She moved in after Game of Thrones; in this and many ways, her life can be cleanly dissected into before and after.
Before, Clarke, now 33, who grew up in Oxfordshire, had appeared in a single episode of the daytime soap Doctors. She was ambitious, optimistic and relentlessly cheerful. After, after Game of Thrones, and the death of her father, which shook her family, as did her life-threatening stroke, she is sitting on her pink sofa and contemplating a decade that changed her.

Emilia Covers Wonderland Magazine Winter Issue
November 16, 2019 Nicole Magazine Scans Photo Gallery Photoshoots & Portraits
WONDERLAND – Having starred as the imperious lead in the biggest show of all time, it's safe to say Emilia Clarke's star has already risen. Despite the success of her turn as Game of Thrones' "mother of dragons", Daenerys Targaryen, Clarke is still somewhat at the genesis of her acting career. Having dedicated the best part of a decade to George R.R Martin's sprawling masterpiece, the actor now finds herself almost starting again, namely with the Emma Thompson-written seasonal offering: Last Christmas. Here, she chats to Wonderland about social media, dealing with two brain haemorrhages, and life beyond the series.

This two part documentary tells the story of 15 year old Ashleigh Beacham; a young woman of phenomenal strength and courage who swam across Lake Ontario on August 18, 2013 in order to raise $10,000.00 for the Make A Wish Foundation of Southwestern Ontario so they could send a five year old boy with leukemia to Disney World.
Our crew accompanied Ashleigh across the lake, shooting mostly from a zodiac inflatable boat.
More than 18 hours after launching herself into the cold waters of Lake Ontario, in the dead of night from Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ashleigh Beacham successfully completed her Swim For Dreams as she finished at Marilyn Bell Park in Toronto.


Project obstacles and solutions: As part of the New Circle Road widening project in Lexington, Kentucky, four bridges were constructed or reconfigured to handle two added lanes on the highway. This included building a new bridge to overpass the highway at Old Frankfort Pike. It also included widening bridges at Town Branch Creek, Wolf Run and Alexandria Drive. Central Bridge was hired as the general contractor on this project and ATS Construction provided all of the barrier walls and paving.
The entire New Circle Road expansion project is on a fast track to be completed in less than two years. This includes reconstructing the overpasses, entry and exit ramps. Key to the construction schedule was the new bridge and ramps constructed at Old Frankfort Pike. As a main road crossing over New Circle Road, it was important to ease congestion by constructing this new bridge and getting it open to traffic. Concrete needed to be delivered quickly, but it also had to meet Kentucky Transportation Cabinet engineering specifications. IMI QC/QA worked with Central Bridge and ATS to design Class AA KYTC specified concrete for these projects. IMI QC/QA personnel were on site to test the concrete alongside KYTC technicians. This duplication of testing was provided to ensure proper readings of air, slump and strength.
There were 15 different mixes for the four bridges. 20,000 yards of concrete was placed at these four bridge projects. All the concrete delivered by IMI met KYTC standards. The Old Frankfort Pike Bridge opened on July 19. The three other bridges were put into service on August 10 as traffic was diverted from the inner to the outer loop of New Circle Road.
Construction on New Circle Road is scheduled to be completed in 2016. For more information on DOT specific mixes and on-site testing, contact one of our sales representatives. Click here.

Connie Deadlock launched the Hanna "Wall of Fame" in 2017, the local landmark offers an opportunity for community members to showcase achievements and special events in their lives. To appear on the "Wall of Fame" Deadlock asks that community members bring her the information, be it stories or photos, and she will laminate it to be featured on the fence.

A local business owner is looking for community members to celebrate recent achievements in their life.
"I felt that there was a lot interesting people out there and I didn't think people were really aware of how much talent was in our area," said Connie Deadlock.
Famous in Hanna Back to video
"We end up with a lot of tourists in our town that wander around so it's something of a little more interest to them."
Deadlock launched the Hanna "Wall of Fame" in 2017, the local landmark offers an opportunity for community members to showcase achievements and special events in their lives.
To appear on the "Wall of Fame" Deadlock asks that community members bring her the information, be it stories or photos, and she will laminate it to be featured on the fence.
"It doesn't have to be their famous and have records, It doesn't have to be sports, it doesn't have to be music. It could be that they became a doctor, that they went to university for three years, that they started a business. Any success that they feel is fine, there's no limits," said Deadlock.
All ages are welcome to be featured on the "Wall of Fame."
"Anything positive to share with the community is worthwhile," said Deadlock.
She said that the original response to the fence has been slow, but she recently revamped the fence making it more stable and secure.
Deadlock said that she hopes this will turn the "Wall of Fame" into a larger attraction in the community.
A number of community members have already appeared on the wall.
The first person to appear on the wall was Lisa Dodd, a musician who plays with country artist Gord Bamford. Dodd has also won Canadian Country Music Association bass player of the year.
"I just hope they get a sense of pride in our community [from the wall]. I think right now people don't realize how much we offer to the world," said Deadlock.
The creator of the fence said she sees the landmark as a chance for people to celebrate their achievements and accomplishments and share them without the community without feeling like they are bragging.
Her ultimate goal is to fill the fence with as many moments and achievements as possible.
"With the fence it's more anybody, any age it doesn't matter," said Deadlock, describing how the wall will help people find out that everyone has something special to offer.
Deadlock is not seeking out people to be featured on the fence and instead asks that those interested reach out to her.
For those looking to submit a submission on the wall they can email Deadlock at cdeadlock@hotmail.com or stop by her store the Emporium.

Q: does ThreadPool core threads are always live once created Does java guarantee that the corepool threads will always remain active in ThreadPoolExecutor?
I ran my test code multiple times but it seems it does not guaranteed.
I tried with allowCoreThreadTimeOut=true and allowCoreThreadTimeOut = false. However, there was no change in behavior.
Here is my test code. Please try with two different values of noOfTaskToRun 1 and 4.
public static void main(String[] args) {
    int noOfTaskToRun = 1;
    ThreadPoolExecutor executor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(2, 4, 2000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, new SynchronousQueue<Runnable>());
    executor.allowCoreThreadTimeOut(false);
    List<Thread> threads = new ArrayList<Thread>();

    for(int i = 0; i<noOfTaskToRun ; i++)
        threads.add(new Thread("thread" + i) {
        public void run() {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(5000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
    for (Thread thread : threads) {
        executor.execute(thread);
    }

    System.out.println("Before executor.getActiveCount(): "+ executor.getActiveCount());

    try {
        Thread.sleep(5000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    System.out.println("After executor.getActiveCount(): "+ executor.getActiveCount());
}

I modified the keepAliveTime to 2000. Even now the threads are timing out.

A: I'm actually not 100% sure, but getActiveCount() is not what you think, I think.
The Docs say: "Returns the approximate number of threads that are actively executing tasks." So, my guess would be that idle threads are not included in that number but can still be alive.
What you probably want is getPoolSize(): "Returns the current number of threads in the pool."
Addition: If your Tasks sleep 5 secs and you give all of them a 5 sec timeout, it will be pretty random how many of them will have finished after the timeout ...

A: As per my understanding it will not. I saw the code(JDK 6) also and it seems that if the number of threads is less than corepoolthreads in the lifetime of executor than it guarantees but once the limit is crossed there is no guarantee that the core threads will remain alive.
I tried to ran with allowCoreThreadTimeOut = false. Even then the threads died if the number of threads crosses the coreThreadPoolSize. However, if the number of threads remain less than the coreThreadPoolSize then they remained alive.
I think the reason lies in these two methods of ThreadPoolExecutor class. From workerCanExit does check for the value of coreThreadPoolSize or allowCoreThreadTimeOut when the queue is empty and this is the reason the threads are getting timed out.
    Runnable getTask() {
    for (;;) {
        try {
            int state = runState;
            if (state > SHUTDOWN)
                return null;
            Runnable r;
            if (state == SHUTDOWN)  // Help drain queue
                r = workQueue.poll();
            else if (poolSize > corePoolSize || allowCoreThreadTimeOut)
                r = workQueue.poll(keepAliveTime, TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS);
            else
                r = workQueue.take();
            if (r != null)
                return r;
            if (workerCanExit()) {
                if (runState >= SHUTDOWN) // Wake up others
                    interruptIdleWorkers();
                return null;
            }
            // Else retry
        } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
            // On interruption, re-check runState
        }
    }
}

    private boolean workerCanExit() {
    final ReentrantLock mainLock = this.mainLock;
    mainLock.lock();
    boolean canExit;
    try {
        canExit = runState >= STOP ||
            workQueue.isEmpty() ||
            (allowCoreThreadTimeOut &&
             poolSize > Math.max(1, corePoolSize));
    } finally {
        mainLock.unlock();
    }
    return canExit;
}

A: No it does not guarantee that.  For instance, the javadoc for one of the constructors says:

"corePoolSize - the number of threads to keep in the pool, even if they are idle, unless allowCoreThreadTimeOut is set"

The obvious implication is that if you call allowCoreThreadTimeOut(true), then even core pool threads can timeout.

A: According to ThreadPoolExecutor docs core threads will stay in the pool, even if they are idle unless allowCoreThreadTimeOut flag is set.
Another sitiation when a core thread dies is when an exception is thrown during a task execution. In this case this thread will be replaced with a new one.
