Happy residents at Age UK's Redwood Centre in Haywards Heath showing of their bottles and refill bags of de-icer salt.
West Sussex Highways have been dropping off early Christmas presents for elderly residents.
Staff toured the county giving out bottles of de-icing salt to residents so they can use it on their paths at home and also delivered boxes of salt to several community groups, church groups, charities, and care providers.
Regulars at Age UK's Cherry Tree Centre in Burgess Hill are pleased with their delivery.
Packs of salt were handed over at day centres and on local volunteers' doorsteps, so that they can distribute them to vulnerable people they look out for.
They will help prevent residents slipping on their garden paths, front doors, and driveways when the weather gets icy.
One community group happy to receive the salt was Stone Quarry Crew in East Grinstead, which works with elderly and vulnerable residents.
Sarah Howland, chair of Stone Quarry Crew, said: "We are going to use many people on the estate to try to encourage them to look after their neighbours.
Marion Welshman of Crawley Down Monday Club is given de-icer salt on her doorstep.
"We are going to communicate with everyone on the estate, to get them to let us know who needs help.
"We can pass the salt around the estate for other people to help, not just Stone Quarry Crew will be out doing it.
"We want to make sure the salt gets out to the right places and that people get to use the salt who want it.
Sarah Howland of Stone Quarry Crew in East Grinstead, with Cllr Liz Bennett, takes delivery from Nick Ross of West Sussex Highways (photo submitted).
Liz Bennett county councillor for East Grinstead Meridian, said: "It is important to look after our older, vulnerable residents.
"Especially people unable to clear their paths and get out of their houses.
"It is a wonderful way to bring a community together to help that take place.
Bob Lanzer, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "Each individual group we've donated salt to has its own network and way of helping those most in need.
"Some groups will hand the salt out at collection points, some will deliver door to door or via community transport.
The de-icing salt was donated to West Sussex Highways by the AA.

This week, Sarah Koenig hosts, as we tackle the thing we all hate to love: Gossip. That's right; we've got rumor, we've got innuendo, and we've got a story of gossipers gone pro. Sarah even makes a compelling case that in some places, gossip could very well be saving lives. But you didn't hear it from us.

Is He Broke? || See What SA Idols Winner Thapelo Was Spotted Selling That Raised Lots Of Questions
By shweshwe On Jan 15, 2023
It has been few months ever since Thapelo was voted as the winner of the SA Idols. This is one of the competitions that gives hope to all those who have wishes of being musicians and being unable to take their talent out for the world to see. The platform has helped many people to find themselves and to get the opportunity to present themselves in order to be recognized. Previous winners of Idols have made it successfully in the music industry and they continue to make all other people proud.
It's indeed true when they say that the platform has impacted so positively on the lives of many people in the country. Thapelo was voted as the winner few weeks ago and so many people were really impressed. He is such a talented man who really inspires many people and giving them so much positive energy. The interesting thing is that he is police officer. Who would have thought that a whole police would enter the competition.
The Limpopo born star impressed many people. Both the young and old look up to him as their role model. The world needs more people like him who are really fearless and courageous. The Idols winner was seen selling eggs and atchar in the streets and that has raised so much questions to many people all over the country. Now people were left wondering why he would sell eggs and atchar just after winning the competition and giving the thought that he is also a police officer.
It has raised so much questions and others wondering if he is already broke. Well there is absolutely nothing wrong with selling eggs. It can be his side hustle and does not really mean that he is broke. People need to refrain from judging others and let them be. What is your take on this matter?, Share your views on the comment section and follow for more news. To watch the video fully follow the link below.
A whole Idols South Africa winner is out selling eggs and atchaar.
Not that there is anything wrong with selling Eggs but Thapelo has just won IdolsSA18 not so long ago.
The other day he said he still goes to work at SAPS.

Former NFL Player Spearheads Summer STEM and Sports Camp with First Coast YMCA
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – June 10, 2019 – The First Coast YMCA is proud to announce a partnership with the Mario Butler Foundation for a newly developed STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and Sports specialty camp at Kings Trail Elementary.
The STEM and Sports camp will run three days a week, 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., from June 10 – July 19. The camp will serve underprivileged 5th graders, who are a part of the academic camp at Kings Trail Elementary. The camp is free to participants due to generous funding by the City of Jacksonville Kids Hope Alliance. The children will learn valuable skills and explore STEM projects, all while incorporating healthy habits and sports. Example exercises include showcasing how the Pythagorean Theorem is illustrated in football or how bio-mechanics is used daily in sports to improve posture and technique to stay healthy.
"The YMCA strives to prevent summer learning loss in children by engaging campers in STEM projects, arts and humanities, field trips and outdoor play," said YMCA of Florida's First Coast Vice-President of Youth Development and Operations Maria Aristizabal. "We are honored to partner with Mario Butler and his foundation to integrate STEM and sports into one program that bridges a key gap in this community, especially for our underserved youth."
Mario Butler, Jacksonville native and former cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills, is partnering with the First Coast YMCA to spearhead the STEM and Sports pilot program. This integrated program will collect data to assess the effectiveness of combining STEM and sports in order to encourage children's interest in STEM education and drive students into STEM-related occupations.
"The Mario Butler Foundation is committed to providing children of the future with the resources and opportunities that aren't accessible to them in their communities," said Butler. "The foundation's goal is to give disadvantaged youth the opportunity to rise above life's obstacles to achieve success."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, STEM-related occupations are projected to grow to more than 9 million between 2012 and 2022. This partnership with the YMCA and the Mario Butler Foundation will help several children take advantage of the millions of career opportunities in STEM and in our community.

The directors of the FBI and the CIA, the director of national intelligence and other officials testified Tuesday about worldwide threats to U.S. national security, revealing significant differences between what the intelligence community has concluded and what the president claims about Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, the prospect for nuclear talks with North Korea, the strength of the Islamic State and other security issues.
A representative for the CIA declined to comment. A representative for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence did not respond to a request for comment.
None of the agencies whose leaders testified have issued retractions or amendments to their written or spoken statements.
The president has had a contentious relationship with the intelligence agencies since before he took office. During the campaign, he tried to undermine public confidence in the intelligence community's unanimous conclusion that Russia had interfered with the 2016 election to help elect Trump.

Q: Rails does not load assets located in public directory in production Hello i have assets in public directory (because of simplicity)
in layout i load
<link href="/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="/assets/css/jumbotron.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="/assets/css/application.css" rel="stylesheet">

and in Development it works well but in Production assets are not loaded.
My Development.rb
Web::Application.configure do
  config.cache_classes = false
  config.whiny_nils = true
  config.consider_all_requests_local       = true
  config.action_controller.perform_caching = false
  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
  config.active_support.deprecation = :log
  config.action_dispatch.best_standards_support = :builtin
  config.active_record.mass_assignment_sanitizer = :strict
  config.active_record.auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds = 0.5
  config.assets.compress = false
  config.assets.debug = true
end

My Production.rb
Web::Application.configure do
  config.cache_classes = false
  config.consider_all_requests_local       = true # default false, zobrazuje errory
  config.action_controller.perform_caching = false # default true
  config.serve_static_assets = false
  config.assets.compress = true
  config.assets.compile = true # default false
  config.assets.digest = true
  config.i18n.fallbacks = true
  config.active_support.deprecation = :notify
end

A: Configuration changed for Rails 4 and 5.
For Rails 4:
config.serve_static_files = true

For Rails 5:
config.public_file_server.enabled = true

A: This is because you have
  config.serve_static_assets = false

in your production.rb file.
From the Rails Configuration guide:

*

*config.serve_static_assets configures Rails itself to serve static assets. Defaults to true, but in the production environment is turned off as the server software (e.g. Nginx or Apache) used to run the application should serve static assets instead. Unlike the default setting set this to true when running (absolutely not recommended!) or testing your app in production mode using WEBrick. Otherwise you won´t be able use page caching and requests for files that exist regularly under the public directory will anyway hit your Rails app.

And like that guide suggests, you really shouldn't rely on serving assets from public/ via your Rails app, it is better to let the web server (e.g. Apache or Nginx) handle serving assets for performance.

Do not read this if you have not watched all of "Mad Men" Season Six – spoilers ensue.
I've just finished watching the season finale of "Mad Men." Among all of the other moves and changes in the air, actress Megan Draper (Jessica Paré) — the "child bride" of our antihero, Don Draper — is poised to move to L.A. to investigate "all these opportunities in Hollywood." Thinking about the timing of this, and what Hollywood was cranking out in the late 60s and 70s, I predict that the Divine Ms. Megan is going to be a smash hit in tinsel town. Why? Apparently she's got the acting chops — she's holding her own on a hit soap opera — and (speaking of chops) I predict that her interesting-looking mouth is going to win her all the grittiest roles. It was right about the late 60s and early 70s that Hollywood started recognizing the value of the imperfect face, and 1970s actresses were notoriously quirky in this regard. Karen Black, who was glorious in the very dark "Nashville" (1975), had a crossed eye. The effect added an authentic note to her strange-girl characters and epitomized the off-set feel of the era.
Films of the 70s were all about the unconventional, the antihero. As one writer put it, "films began to reflect the disenfranchisement brought by the excesses of the past twenty years." Post-Vietnam, directors of the time were willing to take an unflattering look at America as they had never done before, and their honest look into the face of a country gone mad was reflected in their casting choices. Sure, Catherine Deneuve was still around to reflect mid-century's infatuation with the perfect, cool, icy blonde, but many of the major award-winning films of the 70s starred actresses who might not have had a chance in an earlier era. In the 1970s, Glenda Jackson was nominated for four Academy Awards and won two. She was mighty in talent, but no classical beauty.
Marsha Mason, another plain powerhouse, was nominated for several Oscars in the 1970s and "Cinderella Liberty" earned her a Best Actress Golden Globes statuette.
or Ali McGraw — two "dentally different" actresses who drew some juicy roles at the time AND garnered admiration for owning their uniqueness.
1970s Hollywood was all about relentless honesty, and Megan Calvet Draper is going to fit right in. Don Draper, however, should stay in New York.

Do you and your team feel like you're just taking a shot in the dark when deciding the next feature set for your product?
We know it can be tempting to design features and solutions in ways that you think are best. After all, you're the experts, right? But because you're so close to the situation, it can actually be more difficult to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your product from your customers' perspective.
That's why today's successful brands are eliminating "agenda pushing" and beginning to let their consumer base influence the direction of products, using social media as an ultra-accessible place to gauge user opinion. Better still, the 24/7 nature of social media means that businesses can now access user opinion in real-time, at any time.
Start talking with customers, rather than at them.
By simply engaging customers online, it is now easier than ever to ask questions, gather feedback, and communicate intentions back to customers. By engaging in meaningful connections with your customers, you tell them that you care about their business needs. Moreover, user feedback is some of the most insightful research you can obtain. Implementing solutions based on that research is what transforms average businesses into top-notch market leaders.
Don't be afraid to just sit back and listen, either.
What we're trying to say is be thorough. There are going to be times when you can't engage social users in real-time. But just because you're not around, that doesn't mean that social conversations stop. Monitoring that conversation is the best way to stay on top of product improvements and feature upgrades that are needed and appreciated. It changes the game and leaves your consumers with a great impression of your brand.
By tapping into your target audience, you gain the ability to adapt your brand and show that you're committed to your consumers' goals. And with these connections established, your business is much better-positioned to retain both customers and brand loyalists for the long term.

Trinity United Church was a church located in downtown Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Originally Methodist, from 1925, the church belonged to the United Church of Canada. The church was built between 1914 and 1916 in the Gothic Revival style by Edmund Burke. The church closed and the congregation disbanded on 12 June 2022.

History
The congregation was formed in 1872 as Charlotte Street Wesleyan Methodist Church. When a number of smaller Methodist denominations merged to form the Methodist Church in 1884, it became Charlotte Street Methodist Church. The church was located in a Gothic Revival building designed by John E. Belcher at the corner of Charlotte and Reid Streets. By the turn of the 20th century, they had outgrown these premises and the lot for the present church was given by the family of Senator George A. Cox. Cox attended Charlotte Street Methodist when he lived in Peterborough.

The cornerstone of the new church was laid by Cox's son, Herbert Coplin Cox, on 24 September 1914. The church was built by local contractor William Langford. It was built with a seating capacity of 900. The Rev. Dr. Samuel Dwight Chown, Superintendent of the Methodist Church, formally dedicated the new Trinity Methodist Church on 2 January 1916. In 1925, when the United Church of Canada was formed, Trinity Methodist Church became Trinity United Church.

The church reached its peak in the 1960s with 1,200 people attending services each Sunday.

Faced with dwindling congregation and rising repair costs in the early 21st century, in April 2019, a motion to merge with Emmanuel United Church was defeated. On 24 June 2021, it was announced the congregation had voted to close the church and disband due to a dwindling congregation and rising repairs costs. The church held its last service and closed on 12 June 2022.

Architecture
Trinity was constructed between 1914 and 1916 in the Gothic Revival style by architect Edmund Burke. It is of light grey Credit Valley sandstone construction with Indiana limestone trimmings. The church forms a terminating vista at the head of Simcoe Street.

Q: How can Monitor Linux zimbra mail traffic ( in and cout )? I configured zimbra mail server in linux. Is there any way to monitor e-mail traffic through linux server. Or any way to monitor spam activities on this zimbra mail server.
Thanks for the great help.

A: You can monitor a great deal through the zimbra admin console - https://[your domain here]:7071/zimbraAdmin/.  From the monitoring panel there you can view graphs for email traffic and spam activity.  You are also able to view and export various metrics through the advanced tab.
For more detailed reports of email in and out, you can view the admin report which is automatically mailed to the admin account you set up with the server.


In a 20-year career as an entrepreneur, I've been lucky enough to have a few wins, including two big exits within 12 months. But I've also had my share of startup failures, and I learned more with those than I did with the successes.
This isn't going to be a bleed-all-over-the-page confessional. I've read those, and they're great, if you're into that sort of thing. Instead, I'd like to get pragmatic and tell you exactly why I think each startup failed and what I should have done differently.
When I talk about Intrepid Media, I don't call it a failure. I call it a stagnation or even a success, but it wasn't a success in the traditional sense. Looking back, now about 15 years removed from its peak, it was great experience, but I could have done it differently.
Intrepid started in 1999 as a website that hosted repurposed content back when traditional media companies saw the web as a home for alternative content. When these alt.stories ran their course, they'd be removed from the website. So I built a site to host my own orphaned stories and then started hosting for my friends as well.
Soon, a bunch of us stopped writing for traditional media companies and we started writing just for Intrepid Media. Then, I started letting anyone write for Intrepid, and I wrote a bunch of algorithms that bubbled up the best content — meaning the most well-written and highly-rated — to the top of the site.
Look, I was a coder, and I had never even worked for a media company, so a lot of what I was doing was counter to the strategy of most media companies. They were doing eyeballs and ads, I was doing quality and optional paid membership — a lot like Medium, but with a really clunky CMS.
Within four years, Intrepid Media would explode. We had tens of thousands of members, and they stuck. We had annual conventions in places like New York, DC, and Las Vegas. And a crucial component of that success was the Intrepid Boards, a sort of cross between what Reddit and Facebook are today, and they had millions of threads and posts.
Simply put, Intrepid Media failed because I adopted the Facebook model over the Medium model. I went for the lower-hanging fruit because I stopped believing my instincts were right, even though they had gotten me where I was.
As Intrepid grew, I could see an end to the growth, or at least to the ridiculous intensity of the growth. Blogs were appearing, Facebook was coming, Twitter was a thing. Quality content had become an afterthought.
So I made the decision that Facebook was going to be the new medium for content. Pun intended. I focused more on the Intrepid Boards and the networking aspects of the site, less on the quality measures around the content. I got more eyeballs. I threw ads everywhere. The money spiked, then cratered.
You can't really blame me, can you? Medium wasn't even an idea yet, let alone viable. But that's what my model was and where it should have remained. I was about five years ahead of the curve, exactly where an entrepreneur wants to be. Had I remained faithful to the original mission of Intrepid Media, it'd be a Medium competitor today. Maybe.
In 2000, Zoom Culture was an independent video production company that had some crazy ideas about the Internet. I was brought on to build out those crazy ideas into ZC.TV, a website where anyone with a digital video camera could upload their work and we'd stream it.
Does that sound like YouTube? Because it freakin' was.
The company ended up raising around $15 million on the promise of disrupting television, and the investors brought in former television executives to fill the C-Suite. The goal was to dig through the tons of video content on ZC.TV and stitch together enough of it to sell to the networks.
In 2002, this wasn't just a risky idea, it was a crazy idea. Television networks wanted nothing to do with content that got its first run on the Internet.
In 2018, I give you the Emmy nominations.
At the time, I was leading a faction of the company who was arguing that we didn't need television networks. Mainstream access to proper digital video equipment was imminent, and in the meantime, we knew anecdotally that people were sinking thousands of dollars into top-of-the-line digital cameras just to be on our platform. Viewership was off the charts.
But our faction was young, we weren't very convincing, and we were kind of punks about it. We lost the argument.
When the company ran out of money, I had already moved on, but I was asked to come back to make one last pitch to the investors to build a new company around the platform I had built. I said I would, but as young as I was, I didn't want to lead it. An older employee stepped in to give the pitch. It failed. Months later, one of the investors told me we would have gotten the green light if I had agreed to run the show.
Two years later, almost to the day, YouTube was founded in San Mateo.
I founded Teaching Startup in 2015 as a research project. Having recently sold both Automated Insights and ExitEvent and realizing I was a terrible investor, I decided that I would try to give back by educating potential entrepreneurs in a way that wasn't about TAMs and P&L.
Teaching Startup was a little like what I'm doing here on Medium, but the crown jewel, so to speak, was a weekly video show (I don't want to use the term "vlog" because I'll vomit) where I round-tabled a group of slightly off-kilter but definitely hands-on entrepreneurs to discuss everything from getting your first sale to the plague of sexual harassment.
Basically, we wanted to talk startup without talking startup, and bring startup to a more mainstream audience.
Then, taking a page from ExitEvent, I'd build a funnel of entrepreneurs, stocking it with a huge base of potential founders all the way down to serial exiters. I'd code in tools for them to communicate without it being overwhelming, and it'd be a University of Life approach to making more and better entrepreneurs.
I did all the right things before I launched Teaching Startup. I talked to everyone from fellow entrepreneurs to YouTube stars and podcasters to educators.
I launched everything at once, and it did nothing. Well, not totally nothing, but not much more than nothing.
What happened here was that for as much as I tried to set Teaching Startup apart from everything else out there that was startup-related or startup-labeled, the market, the ecosystem, was so small and disjointed and localized that trying to stitch it together was going to take more money than it would make. Forever.
People who saw it loved it. It would have been a cult classic. But that's not a startup. I knew that going in, but I was so in love with the mission that I ignored it until it slapped me in the face.
The thing about these failures is they ultimately brought about successes over time. The tech I built for Intrepid Media was the foundation for ExitEvent, which I sold a year after shuttering Intrepid. Zoom Culture taught me that if you're going to disrupt an industry, you don't need to do it from within the industry. And Teaching Startup taught me that if you're going to run a passion project, you run it way differently than a startup.
These failures are all still painful when I look back, nostalgia does not heal all wounds. But if these are going to be my misses, I'm proud of them, and that's something you should take out of every failure.


looking at getting parts for an 06 mirror swap on my 2002- I know my power mirrors have the pigtail attached to the mirror, where on an 06 its in the door. I'm not sure where other than for to get the 06 pigtail and their aren't any trucks that new in local junk yards- so how hard is it to get to the wires inside of the 06 mirror?
I looked on Ebay but none of my searches pulled anything, any links by chance to aftermarket harnesses?

100 years of protecting Sussex nature put under the spotlight
Posted by Iain Luxford | Mar 27, 2019 | Things to See & Do | 0 |
Looking for inspiration to get out and enjoy the East Sussex countryside as the first greens of spring begin to emerge and the warm sunshine breaks the winter's chill?
If so, you're in luck. For more than 100 years the Sussex Wildlife Trust has been protecting our county's remarkably rich countryside and natural life while also providing opportunities for residents of all ages to learn about nature and engage with it. And in April residents are being offered a unique opportunity to learn more about the history and work of the Trust and given a whistle-stop tour of the sites it manages.
We're lucky to live in a part of the world that has some astonishing landscapes and diverse wildlife habitats, but it's something that's so easy to take for granted. Michael Blencowe, the Wildlife Trust's Senior Learning and Engagement Officer will be giving a talk at The Keep – East Sussex's world class historical archive and record centre on the outskirts of Brighton.
Michael's talk on Tuesday, 9 April promises to provide a fascinating insight into the work of the trust but also into the natural environment of our wonderful county. The Wildlife Trust's work, which began with humble beginnings at its first project at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, now manages more than 30 reserves across Sussex covering coast, woodlands, downland, heaths and marshes.
Southerham Nature Reserve by Nigel Symington
The talk starts at 5.30pm and admission is £5. Visitors can turn up and pay on the door but booking is recommended. You can book your seat at this event through the events section of The Keep website here
For more information about The Keep visit the centre's website. To learn more about the Trust and the reserves it manages visit the Sussex Wildlife Trust website

Bump and Beyond Antenatal Classes - Hastings and St Leonards


Once you have everything installed, up and running and you were able to run your first test with Nightwatch.js you are ready to add Eyes into the test.
I'm using the "nightwatch/examples/tests/google/googleDemoTest.js" as my codebase for this example.
In the test below, I navigate to a website, grab a screenshot and send it to Eyes – this image is now my baseline. I run the test again at a later point and compare with my baseline. Now the content has changed which means that a simple bitmap comparison is essentially useless. We will need Eyes AI Powered engine to process the screenshots and alert us if a layout change is found, meaning a bug exists on that page.
Since everything has changed on the page, images & text, It's hard to compare and point out the bugs at first glance but Eyes spots it instantly. See the test results in our dashboard below.
In Applitools dashboard we can quickly spot the mismatch between our baseline and checkpoint. When we zoom in we can actually see that the word "vice" in the checkpoint is cropped compared to the baseline where the text appeared as it should be.
If you're not using Visual Testing yet I encourage you to start today, functional testing is critical for your app however it does not replace a human looking at your page to check for scenarios you did not think of when running your scripts. And when considering adding visual testing to your test framework make sure you choose the right tool that can help you identify the issues quickly and reliably, don't settle for simple bitmap comparison as it will not work in the test case above.


I work holistically, using my toolkit of professional skills to offer the interventions most suited to you as an individual. I work flexibly and in a responsive and client centred way, to support you as you make progress and become empowered. I will advise you what interventions would be most appropriate to support you in resolving whatever issues concern you, but respect your personal preferences.
I'm told I'm gentle and respectful in my approach, but I will always be honest with you, and discuss with you openly and positively how you may move forward.
I work from a humanistic perspective, valuing and respecting you and your experience, but draw on a wide range of philosophies and practice to meet your individual needs. I work within the highest ethical framework, and my aim is always to provide a caring, professional and effective service, as a dedicated and dynamic therapist.
I am always happy to talk to you more about the issues which concern you, to explain in more depth the therapies I offer, and how we can work together to enable you to achieve your goals and dreams.
Are traumatic events, intense emotions, phobias, panic attacks, low mood or relationship problems affecting you? Hypnotherapy and EMDR can offer support and positive change. This is my specialist area of practice, and something which I am skilled in and passionate about.
Want to enjoy positive body image, gain the figure or body you desire and promote better health? Want to positively alter your mindset around your diet, or overcome an eating disorder or issues with food? Hypnotherapy can resolve overeating quickly and effectively!
Want to eliminate habits simply, or conquer obsessions and compulsions? I work with the simple (nail biting is generally a one session fix) to the more complex (OCD), using hypnotherapy and if needed, EMDR, with high success rates, even if other interventions have not worked.
Whether you want to stop smoking the easier way, cut out or reduce alcohol, or if you are using street drugs, hypnotherapy and EMDR can help. I am skilled and experienced in working with and supporting people who are 'self-medicating' to manage.
Want to feel more in control of your health, reduce flare-ups and manage your symptoms? Want to reduce pain or be free of allergies? By utilising the mind-body connection through hypnotherapy, or sometimes NLP or EMDR, you can feel more comfortable, free and at ease in your body.
Hypnotherapy and EMDR can help improve your confidence, your work and sporting performance, support you through stage fright, an interview or presentation, and simply make wonderful you the best you can be! These issues can generally be very simply resolved.
On occasion, or on request, I may offer tailored workshops on topics such as stress management and weight control. I am also available to facilitat, or co-facilitate health related and emotional support groups. I can also arrange one to one therapy days, for people who want to work intensively on their issues.
I am caring, sensitive and experienced in offering therapy if you have suffered a personal injury (mainly EMDR for PTSD, or for driving anxiety after a collision) and in liaising with solicitors and writing court reports and other professional documents. I can invoice the third party direct by arrangement so you have less to think about at a difficult time.

Trump tells Republicans they lost in 2018 because the election was rigged: 'You've got to be a little more paranoid'
Bob Brigham
President Donald Trump warned Congressional Republicans to be "paranoid" that Democrats were rigging elections.
Trump spoke at a fundraiser for the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC), the organization in charge of House elections for the GOP.
During his remarks, Trump denied that he was a reason why Republicans lost control of the House of Representatives during the blue wave of the midterm elections.
"I say, what the hell do I have to do with it?" Trump said, according to Washington Post national political reporter Felicia Sonmez.
"Our Kevin. Do we love Kevin?" Trump says of Kevin McCarthy as he takes the stage at NRCC funder. Of GOP losses in 2018: "I say, what the hell do I have to do with it? They say, Trump wasn't running."
— Felicia Sonmez (@feliciasonmez) April 2, 2019
Trump then seemed to suggest the 2018 midterms were stolen.
President Trump, speaking to the NRCC, seemed to imply the 2018 midterms were rigged: "we have to be a little bit careful, because I don't like the way the votes are being tallied. You don't like it either, you just don't want to say it because you're afraid of the press."
— Nikki Carvajal (@nikkicarvajal) April 2, 2019
Trump at NRCC dinner says there "were a lot of close elections" in 2018 and "every one seemed to go Democrat…You've got to be a little more paranoid than you are … you don't like it either but you don't want to say it because you're afraid of the press."
— Jordyn Phelps (@JordynPhelps) April 2, 2019

The event raised $23 million — $9 million less than last year's event.
"That's not bad," says Pres Trump of the $23-million raised at tonight's @NRCC Spring Fundraising Dinner. Actually, the dinner brought in $32-million last year, when the GOP was the House Majority. "You are the minority," @POTUS reminded GOP donors tonight. pic.twitter.com/bPkdZeeHN7

On Wednesday's edition of Fox News' "Special Report," comedian and activist Jon Stewart slammed Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for blocking unanimous consent for a bill to support health care for 9/11 first responders.
"Pardon me if I'm not impressed in any way by Rand Paul's fiscal responsibility virtue signaling," said Stewart to anchor Bret Baier, who appeared on the show with first responder and activist John Feal.
He added that Paul's complaint, that the bill was unfunded, rings hollow given that he "added hundreds of billions of dollars to our deficit" with the GOP tax cuts for billionaires. He castigated Paul for trying to "balance the budget on the backs of the 9/11 first responder community."


Research scientists have achieved a new world record in tape storage – their fifth since 2006. The new record of 201 Gb/in2 (gigabits per square inch) in areal density was achieved on a prototype sputtered magnetic tape developed by Sony Storage Media Solutions. The scientists presented the achievement today at the 28th Magnetic Recording Conference (TMRC 2017) here.


Every week brings new jobs, emails, documents, and job lists. How much of this is different from the work you have done? Odds are, maybe not much. A number of our tasks are variants on something we've done countless times before.
Don't reinvent the wheel every single time you start something new. Use templates–as starting point for new 17, standardized files. Once you save a separate variant of the template add, remove, or change any data for that record that is unique, and you'll have the new job done in a fraction of the time.
Templates work everywhere: in word processors, spreadsheets, project management programs, survey programs, and email. Here is the way to use templates and how to generate documents from a template–so it's possible to get your ordinary tasks done faster.
Programs take the time to build, and it's easy to wonder if they are worth the investment. The answer: absolutely. Editing a template takes far less time than formatting some thing from scratch. It's the distinction between copying and pasting some text, or retyping it.
That is not the only benefit: Using a template means you are less inclined to leave out crucial info, too. For instance, if you need to send freelance writers a contributor arrangement, changing a standard contract template (rather than composing a new contract each time) ensures you won't depart out the crucial clause about owning the content once you've paid for it.
Templates also guarantee consistency. Maybe you send customers or investors regular job updates. With a template, you understand the upgrade will have the formatting, design, and standard arrangement.
Some tools will automatically fill in these factors for you (more on this in a little ). But if you need to fill in the information by yourself, add some text that is easy and obvious to search for so you can find.


What made you decide to pursue a career as a chiropractor?There is the story of why I started to pursue Chiropractic and the story of why I still pursue Chiropractic today.The story that brought me to Chiropractic was because of a Chiropractor that allowed me to finish my senior season of college football because of his care. He allowed me to shadow and help out at his office. I got exposed to really seeing what an office was like where people loved to come in and was absolutely blown away by the culture of the practice.The story of why I'm still in school and was also in my Talk the Tic presentation, was the story of how Chiropractic helped my family and in particular my brother. My brother is autistic, and when he began digressing at a young age, it took a stressful toll on our family. Coming to Chiropractic school and learning about the power of the Chiropractic adjustment, I paid to send my brother to local Chiropractor, Dr. David Waller, who continues to take excellent care of my brother. After some time under care, my brother began to act differently. He is more open, gives hugs to us when he previously didn't, and even told our grandmother over the phone that he loved her on his own. He is by no means cured but our family continues to grow closer and have hope for the future. This experience has solidified my aspirations for being a family practice Chiropractor and my aim is one day have the largest family practice in Texas.What led you to Parker University?Dr. Dan Traxler, an alumnus to the college, originally pointed me in the direction of Parker University and when I went to explore the university, I really fell in love with the culture and family atmosphere. The traditions, Parker Principles and those who embrace the philosophy of chiropractic really won me over and inspired me to dare to be a Parker Patriot.Congratulations on being Parker University Talk the TIC champion! Tell me about your experience in the competition.It was an absolutely amazing experience. I am honored to have the opportunity to represent our school in an international competition and I got to learn and grow so much from the experience. It was a blast getting to know the other competitors from all the other schools including Barcelona and New Zealand and seeing what their schools are like. It was such an interesting experience being around the other competitors. Although we were competing against each other and were technically rivals, there was an air of comradely and support between us. Dr. Erik Van Slooten did a fantastic job organizing things for us and I really do thank him from the bottom of my heart for his vision and dedication to the students and future professionals.Being on the actual stage was a whirlwind of emotions. I was the 5th on the lineup and every emotion possible ran through my mind but as I got up on stage and faced the crowd, a strange calm and passion came over me all throughout telling my story. Even with the additional obstacle of my mike not being on for the first 15 seconds of my presentation, I was congratulated by many people on a job well done. Despite the adversities and some tough competition, I ended up getting second place overall. It was an awesome experience and if the opportunity arises, I intend on taking first the next year.What are your long term goals?A goal while I am in school is to be able to serve those in Haiti in April of 2016 through Dr. Peter Morgan of Mission Life International in helping bring much needed Chiropractic care to those in a third world country. For those that may wish to help me get there, I am collecting donations via gofundme and the link to my account is: https://www.gofundme.com/j9tqn6qk. Thank you for your time and consideration.My long term goals are to open up a family Chiropractic practice in which we will deliver excellent Chiropractic care and also empower families with knowledge to take control of their health in their lives. It is also my goal to one day come back to school and teach so I can pay it forward to the next generation of Chiropractors.Who has made the most impact on your career and what would you like to say to them?I have had many mentors that have helped shaped and change me to the person that I am today and continue to do so, to name a few I want to give credit to Dr. Ryan Yates who dared to challenge my thinking and motivated me to dig deeper to find myself. Because of him, I was inspired to get my brother under Chiropractic care which has had profound effects both for my family and myself. Dr. Eric Russell is and continues to be a steadfast mentor who guides me, teaches me and supports me despite the many responsibilities he has. Dr. Kristina Stitcher has been an inspirational role model who somehow always made the time to teach and inspire others in her time at Parker as well as me. Her guidance and dedication to us students has helped shaped our culture and mindset toward a brighter future. Finally Dr. David Waller, who not only takes care of my family but also takes the extra time out of his day to instruct other students and myself in the ways of Chiropractic and always challenges me to strive for better. To each and every mentor I thank you from the bottom of my heart and hope to one day to pay it forward to others as you have so unselfishly done for me.
You brought many events to campus such the Adjusting Ninjas to campus and ART for Adjust Club. What drives you to do what you do?What drives me to go above and beyond for the student body of Parker is my deep love for Chiropractic. I want every student to have the opportunities I have been given within Chiropractic, and for them to be able to thrive making massive waves in their communities. I think it is extremely important to have programs on campus that keep future doctors continually training. Learning to go above and beyond in school will create the habit of the continued learning process throughout our entire career. We will be responsible for taking care of people the day that we get into clinic, which means it is of utmost importance that our art is continuously growing to the next level. By bringing more opportunities to the student body, we are all able to better and sooner serve our patients. The betterment of all chiropractic patients is the fuel that drives me, personally, to do all that I do for the student body.What made you come to Parker?What made me choose Parker is the instant connection and community I felt when visiting the Campus. I loved all of the techniques offered by Parker, as well as the diversity within the faculty. I quickly saw how this environment could allow each student to express the best of themselves.What are your plans for post Parker?When graduating from Parker my plan is to move back to Oklahoma City and open up my own family practice while specializing in Prenatal and Pediatric Chiropractic.If you could, what is the one thing you want to change in the profession?If I could change one thing about the profession it would be the understanding of what we do and why. I wish more people understood and appreciated what Chiropractic has to offer. With more people having the Chiropractic mindset then society could be redirected from looking for expression and enhancement of life and focus their attention within. This all starts with the doctor and certainty. The deeper we understand the significance of a Chiropractic adjustment, the bigger our vision can be!Any advice for upcoming students?To stay focused on the why behind your journey of becoming a Chiropractor. To remember that we are becoming Chiropractors on purpose and with a purpose. To stay present in the moment. Also, to surround yourself with people that are willing and want to elevate the profession as a whole. A strong support system is key, surround yourself with people that will push you to be the best doctor you can be.
Tell us something about yourself?I am a conscientious, mission driven individual looking to make a positive change in the community.What made you choose to become a MT?I first hand witnessed the direct benefits of massage. I decided then and their, I wanted to expand my conciseness and learn from the best.What led you to Parker University?Word of mouth. The Parker Legacy & Family is a big one!What are some of your favorite moments here at Parker?I will never forget our Parker Thanksgiving Meal. The amazing food, Parker Family and the holiday memories.What are your long term goals?I hope to open a Holistic private practice where bodywork practitioners and like minded individuals can discuss and share their knowledge to the general public.
What Drew you Chiropractic and Parker University?I've always been fascinated with the human body and health care field. I began this journey in medical school and about a year into it I wasn't satisfied and felt like something was missing. I was fortunate to speak with a chiropractor that graduated from Parker and she introduced me to what would be the best career of my life.What have you done to get the most out of our education and time here at Parker?I have perfected my adjusting skills by attending event such as adjusthaton and other off campus seminars, after hours and workshops. I've also benefited from the knowledge passed on from several professors including Dr. Giggleman, Dr. Micheal Hall and Dr. Marzban.What are your plans for after you graduate?I plan on opening my own practice here in Dallas.Who has made the most impact on your career and how?Several individuals including Dr. Giggleman, Dr. Hall and Dr. Marzban. These distinguish professors have put their time and sacrifice into the art of educating young aspiring chiropractors in school.Any words for upcoming DC students?Study the philosophy of chiropractic, study early, avoid procrastination, attend seminars, after hours and the adjust club.
What led to you pursue a career as a chiropractor and choosing Parker University?During my last few years as a teacher I became increasingly interested in health, and after recovering from an auto-immune condition through high-frequency Chiropractic care I received an invitation to join the profession from my high school buddy and good friend Dr. James Bridges (Parker '08). I went to Half Priced Books and was lucky enough to stumble upon Fred Barge's classic text "Are you the Doctor, Doctor?" I stayed up late into the night reading the book and in the wee hours of the morning I decided to apply to Parker University. I was accepted in the spring and notified the school where I was teaching that I would not be returning in the fall, instead pursuing my DC at Parker. I choose Parker based on the recommendation of Dr. Bridges and the proximity to my family and friends.Congratulations on your new position as Student Senate President. What made you decide to run for position?I decided to run for the SBP position in order to effect change. With almost a decade spent in education, I have had a unique perspective as I navigated through the program and have noticed a few areas that could use some improvement. I am hoping to work with faculty and administration to facilitate change in the classroom with the hope of elevating Parker to it's previous notoriety as "The Harvard of Chiropractic".What do you want to accomplish while you are in this role?My top priorities at this time are expanding the presence and utilization of the McCoy Press Online research data on campus. Currently the research being presented in the DC program leaves something to be desired, in my opinion. Quality case studies in the JUCCR are a great way to build confidence in the ability of Chiropractic to effect global change in health for any individual under consistent, long-term care. I would also like to see a "drilling culture" emerge in the adjusting classes, where students are taught how to practice the art on speeder boards. Lastly I am encouraging all faculty to begin each class with something related to Chiropractic, whether it be a short adjusting video, demonstration, reading from the Green Books, etc. I feel that even two minutes at the top of the hour could inspire and encourage students to stay focused in what is undeniably a grueling curriculum.Who has made the most impact on your career and what would you like to say to them?Dr. Steve Hays. There is no question in my mind that Dr. Hays is the man that I look up to the most in the profession. By attending seminars and meetings with Dr. Hays I feel like I have gained the business acumen and confidence in my communication that is necessary to not only survive, but thrive in practice. His approach to incorporating love into practice methods, while eliminating distractions and keeping things simple has made a huge impact in not only my professional approach, but in my personal life as well. I admire the subluxation-based model that he has created, which focuses on long-term corrective care and low force adjusting. Low overhead, streamlined procedures that are easy to follow, and integrated technology like the Seamless EHR system all contribute to his success and why I believe he is the man to follow in Chiropractic.What are some of your favorite moments here at Parker?I have found that here at Parker, the music is truly in between the notes. Some of my favorite moments have come in conversations with my peers following strenuous 12-hour days. Just sitting in the parking lot discussing Chiropractic Philosophy, our plans for the future, and dissecting the information that had been presented that day in class. Life-long friendships with people like Mark Torrie, Kael Moulton, Emily Rose Whisman, Dr. David Bynum, Dr. Pierre Quiroz, Dr. Janrai Gravely, and of course Dr. Ryan Yates began in the walls of this institution, and for that I am forever grateful.
What made you decide to come to Parker University?Five years ago I broke my back in a debilitating snowboard accident. I was laid up for the rest of that spring and summer. I finally took the advise of my two brother in laws who are both chiropractors in Oklahoma. I went under chiropractic care. Within one adjustment I went from not being able to walk under my own power to walking. I knew from that moment on that I wanted to be a Doctor of Chiropractic. I followed the advise of my brother in law Doctor Heath Travis who is a Parker grad and immediately enrolled to Parker in the undergraduate program by that fall.What have you done to get the most out of our education and time here at Parker?To get the most out of the chiropractic program here at Parker I believe it is vital to get a strong grasp of the science of chiropractic and understand why we do what we do through it's philosophy. That coupled with surrounding yourself with the other students who are constantly striving to grow and staying away from the negative people and ideals.What are your plans for after you graduate?I plan on opening up my own practice right out of the gate and will most likely stay in the north Dallas area.Who has made the most impact on your career and how?Dr. Heath Travis has had the biggest impact on my time here at Parker constantly steering me in the right direction and introducing me to many DC's that I have shadowed and who have mentored me.Any words for upcoming DC students?My advise to upcoming students would be get your hands on as many spines as you can and build your confidence levels in your skills. Take time to shadow doctors that you want to practice like and go to the library and listen to all the great chiropractors on DVD in the Parker Seminar section. There you will find the wisdom of Jim Parker. The passion of Sigafoose the inspiration from Demartini and the motivation of Mancini just to name a few. Time spent listening and studying all the greats that have gone before us will ignite a fire that will carry you through the difficult times here at Parker.
What led you to pursue a career in Chiropractic and choosing Parker?I chose Chiropractic because I knew I wanted to do something to help people but didn't know what that was. However, after attending FOCUS in Oklahoma City my Junior year of Undergrad I realized that the Philosophy of Chiropractic was something the really resonated with me. I then went around and asked the Chiropractors that were there what schools were the best schools in Chiropractic, they gave me the name of three schools and Parker was one of them. After visiting Parker and meeting some of the professors I knew Parker was the right school for me.Congratulations on the publication of Parker Dialogue and what are you hoping to accomplish with this paper?Well thank you very much we are all very excited about getting it up and running. One thing I love about Parker is the promotion of critical thought that starts in trimester 1 here at Parker and because we have so many awesome influential professors here at Parker we wanted to really create a "Dialogue" about Chiropractic where both students and faculty could write, discussing about where the profession is at and where it is going as well as add onto the already great information that we receive here at Parker.What inspire your group to produce this newspaper?One of the Parker Principles is, "Develop a compassion to serve greater than a compulsion to survive." We hope to get even more amazing information to the students here at Parker and throughout the profession so that they and we can become the greatest generation of Chiropractors that we can be.Where can we find a copy?All of our issues can be found online at parkerdialogue.com, we also are selling ads and accept donations so that we are able to have hard copy print issues on campus.What are some of your favorite moments here at Parker?My favorite moments here at Parker have been the one on one discussions that I've had with professors here The professors are always available for the students and want to help us become the best Doctors that we can be.
What are your plans for the future?Chiropractic was something I always put aside but always helped me with aliments so it was always my Plan B. I went on to finish undergraduate in Nashville then played professional soccer directly after in Brazil. I achieved my childhood dream and then I suffered the worst injury ever experienced which limited every daily activity I encountered. I was eventually released and in my darkest times Chiropractic school was still there and I figured … why not?So I flew from São Paulo to Dallas and went to Parker right away knowing that I never wanted anyone else to have to endure the pain I did of not being able to pursue a childhood dream.What are your plans for the future?Move to Austin and start a successful practice where I can inspire others to a healthier lifestyle. I also plan on starting a Mission Trip organization and do whatever I can to pay it forward to the next generation because if you never pass the torch you can't receive the light.Who has made the most impact on your career and what would you like to say to them?There are too many people to include on this list from family to doctors and fellow students I've been fortunate enough to cross paths with.If I had to pin point one person it would be my mom. She is the strongest person I've ever known and without her love and support I am not the man I am today. I have gotten myself into some iffy situations and she is always there no matter what to help guide me back on the path. I tell her every day that I love her but I would say thank you mom, you are my everything and you keep me going when I think I have nothing left and inspire the Bigness inside of me.What are some of your favorite moments here at Parker?Oh there have been quite a few colorful moments on my end! However some of the better ones have been creating Adjust Club, passing every class (somehow), and seeing the rebirth of the Adjust-a-thon.Any advice for upcoming students?If you're not in a stage of Challenge, you're not Growing. Don't listen to the naysayers because opinions are the cheapest commodity on Earth, where the more that circulate the less it's worth. Always have gratitude and love of the heart and certainty and presence of the mind, with that you manifest something greater than yourself and bring about a healing that helps evolve humanity. We need more of that.
Tell us something about yourself?Because of Parker, I now consider naps my single most favorite hobby.Thank you for your service in the Air Force. What made you decide to pursue a career in Chiropractic?After my time in the Air Force, serving in the military police and medical service functions, my passion for health and wellness continued to grow. I knew that I would be furthering my education post service. I was kind of funneled into Chiropractic from my experiences. I worked as a personal trainer for about 5 years where I was fortunate to work with and alongside shadowing many different medical professionals from all specialties. As my passion for getting people healthy snowballed, I realized that I had a strong prevention-based philosophy and that our western approach to medicine and health was a totally different animal and mindset. After working with several Chiropractic mentors, Medical doctors and Physical Therapists over the span of about five years, I realized that I was a perfect match for Chiropractic. Having the ability to change people's lives through nutrition, exercise and stress reduction was already in my tool box, but being able integrate a much stronger understanding of the human body through an emphasis of the mind body connection via neurology, physiology, and bio mechanics, gives me the confidence I was looking for to take holistic patient care to a much higher level. The curriculum at Parker is a great foundation to learn and grow from, especially if you want to become a primary care doctor that can manage a diverse patient base.What are your plans for after graduation?Originally, my plans after graduation were, other than taking extra naps, to go right into practice for myself here in the states, but recently I have decided to become an associate or an independent contractor while pursuing a diplomate in Functional Neurology.What would you like to say to future students? My advice to future students, is to learn as much as you can from multiple perspectives and philosophies. Chiropractic has a great philosophy and blends well with those coming from a health and wellness background. Also, there are hundreds of techniques in Chiropractic and they all work to some extent for different patients. Master the science behind what is you do and continue to refine what it is you thought you knew. This allows you to more accurately predict and consistently improve patient outcomes. Treat the patient not their condition or label. Patients are looking for an unbiased and well in-formed opinion from their doctors, but mostly they just want someone to take the time to get to the root cause of what it is they came to see you for. Lastly, there are an endless array of seminars you will have access to as a student. Set funds aside for this because this is important to do. This will increase your confidence and ability to care for patients on a deeper level. As they say, you don't know what you don't know. With that said, if you have a true passion and desire to get people well, you will have the motivation to get through the program and succeed at whatever style of Chiropractic you choose.What are some of your favorite moments here at Parker?There are so many favorite moments. If I had to choose one, it would have to do with the first time I had a serious case in clinic. The patient was able to walk out of the clinic with a smile on his face after limping in with sharp shooting pain into the calf. He was one phone call away from scheduling a back surgery. When you get to start implementing what you've learned in the clinic setting and seeing patients get well and know that it will have a ripple effect to everyone they come into contact with, it really makes all those long nights of incessant studying for exam after exam, with little to no sleep, worth the effort.
Congratulations on your recent graduation from the College of Health and Sciences! What made you decide to become an MT?What attracted me to massage therapy was primarily because I enjoy working closely with others, and I have the opportunity to affect positive change through touch, also I thought of Massage Therapy as being one of the key ingredients to being a successful Chiropractor.What made you decide to continue your education to become a DC?Becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic has been my goal since my sophomore year in High School. Why? Because indirectly it is what I feel my purpose is. From my clinic experience from massage therapy, I noticed I felt a great satisfaction knowing that the pain and the movement restrictions where gone after the session, now, having to get the chance of bringing patients to total alignment, would be an ever better feeling. Experiencing the Parker environment, I know that this is the perfect place to fulfill my goal , where both students and staff share the same ultimate principle of wellness.What are your short and long term goals?I'd like to think that goals are achieved by gathering up your tools; which are your experiences, knowledge, and unique characteristics about you and placing them in a tool box, of course hypothetically. And as you put a goal in front of you, you'd pull out what is needed. As to my Long term goal, which is be academically successful on my journey at parker and graduate as a DC, I'd need discipline, set priorities, and be intuitive, also have ambition and passion for my career. Nevertheless, one of my main short term goal as a massage therapy is to emphasize on one specific modality, and continue towards the Associates of Applied science with a Major in Massage Therapy.What are some of your favorite moments here at Parker?One of my favorite moments at Parker was having the opportunity to attend a hands-on chair massage event, and also working closely with FC Dallas. Not only that but the chance of learning something new every day, and completely understand the concepts of the lectures; I have to say thanks to the perseverance and dedication of each and one of the instructors, and the awesomeness of our Director Dr. Drew Riffe, my experience of each and every single unforgettable moment spent wouldn't have been the same.Any words for upcoming students?Definitely keep an updated checklist in hand with what you need to accomplish each week. You'd be surprised on how productive your week was by the end, and most importantly share a smile here and there, you'd achieve a positive impact on yourself and your peer.
What led to you pursue a career as a chiropractor and choosing Parker University?For many years I have known that my future lay in health care. It took until about 4 years ago for me to realize how perfectly chiropractic fits the model that I identify with. Chiropractic stresses the understanding of the structure and function of the human body and emphasizes care that supports that. Be it neurology, physiology, nutrition, movement or any other facet of health, as a Chiropractor we have the unique ability to understand, educate and treat in a manner consistent with the expression of life. No other career that I have found can make the same claim.After visiting a number of institutions I felt that Parker University was head and shoulders above the rest, both academically and technologically. The campus is beautiful and the classrooms and equipment are maintained and up-to-date. The student body is large enough to support a host of specialties and clubs, and small enough for personal attention. The faculty is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.What do you see yourself doing in the next 5 years?I plan to open my own practice and operate a wellness and lifestyle based clinic that caters as a primary care facility to families and individuals. I see the practice being a place where someone can come both for symptomatic care as well as a location where they can learn how to improve their health and their life. Someday I hope that the clinic becomes a haven of mentorship for up and coming Chiropractors.Who has made the most impact on your career and what would you like to say to them?It is incredibly difficult to say that only one person made an impact during my career as a student. I have a multitude of mentors and supporters, academically, professionally and personally, I hope they all know who they are, how incredibly thankful I am and how lucky I feel for them to have taken a personal interest in my success. I know that I would not be where I am today were it not for the people that have surrounded me through this program, including family, friends, peers, professors, faculty and those representing the healthcare field.What are some of your favorite moments here at Parker?Aside from the last day of week 15 each trimester, my favorite moments have involved the people that share in this program with me: My fiancée phonetically working through terminology to quiz me. Watching a friend at a talent show recite one of the most ridiculous monologues I have ever heard. Jokes and stories with the study group that got me where I am. Watching the ever evolving pre-test rituals of my classmates. The elated hugs and celebratory high fives after checking board scores. A dedicated professor staying after class or lab to answer the questions of a few students. The 5 am workout buddies that kept me committed and sane.Any advice for upcoming students?You are going into an incredibly diverse profession where your goal is to help your patients strive toward health. Learn all that you can about everything that you can, even if you feel it isn't important or will not be a part of your future practice. You don't yet fully understand what path you will take and the smallest piece of information can be life changing, for you or for your patients. This program is rigorous and will test your physical and mental stamina but it is incredibly rewarding. Accept the challenge, revel in the success and remember that someone is going to rely on you to know what is best for their body, arm yourself appropriately.
What made you chose to become a chiropractor?It was a leap of faith really. After leaving the Army in 2007 I was a bit displaced trying to fit back into society. I didn't really like where my life was going but I knew I wanted to help people. So I asked the lord to guide me and I accepted Chiropractic on blind faith. Thank goodness I did, because it was eventually revealed to me how truly amazing and rewarding this profession can be.What led you to Parker University?It basically came down to which school had the most ideal location for me. Although I'm from Indianapolis, I am not a fan of cold weather and I prefer a large city.Words on being a scholarship winner and how this scholarship has helped you?I have to thank two doctors, Dr. Clark Byroad and his wife Brenda, for awarding me the scholarship. They saw potential in me. Dr. Clark was the first person to tell me how important the philosophy of chiropractic is to becoming a successful chiropractor. He opened my eyes to the abundant possibilities that serving within the profession could provide.What are your plans for the future?I know this sounds crazy but I want to have the largest practice in the world. I want reach my fullest potential and take what I have been blessed with and impact more lives than I could ever imagine. I want to teach and lead fellow chiropractors and future chiropractors to reach their fullest potential and together who knows how far reaching our impact will be on the world.Who has made the most impact on your career and how?Some of the biggest mentors in my life are people that I've never met or are already dead. I listen and read a lot of Jim Sigafoose, Reggie Gold and Richard Santos. I also really like BJ's works.As far as people that are still alive, Chris Zaino has sort of been a mentor from afar for me. He's a guy with one of the biggest practices in the history of the profession. He's on purpose and he's making a huge effort to help other chiropractors do what he's doing.Drs. Tim Young and Michael Buffington have had an incredible influence over my direction and clarity as a future chiropractor. Not only have they made tremendous impacts in their own communities, they are guys that stand firmly for what they believe in, can back it up and go to bat for this profession. With a lot of the old school chiropractors that really carried this profession along no longer here we really need chiropractors like Dr. Young and Dr. Buffington.

What is the Currency of Malta?
The official currency of Malta is the euro.
Euro coins.
The Republic of Malta is an island country located in South East Europe. It is one of the smallest countries in the world with a population of approximately 450,000, the majority of who gained citizenship through investment. Malta is a major tourist destination with a warm climate, numerous recreational facilities, and historical monuments like the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The International Monetary Fund Classifies Malta as an advanced economy though it is heavily dependent on foreign trade due to its location. The banking sector in Malta is rapidly developing through monetary and fiscal policies implemented by the Central Bank of Malta that was founded in 1968. Through its quasi-organization, Finance Malta, the Central Bank of Malta has been conducting worldwide seminars educating business leaders on the emerging strengths of Malta as a jurisdiction for banking, finance, and insurance.
Maltese Pound and Lira
The pound was a widely used currency in the 19th century in Malta having been introduced to replace the coinage situation of the Knights of St John. The pound was changed at the rate of 12 to 1 scudi. Until 1972, the pound was the legal tender and was subdivided into 20 shillings, each worth 12 pence and 4 farthings. In 1825, the Maltese Lira was introduced to replace the pound by the Government of Malta. The first lira currency was issued in 1972 in the form of banknotes printed in English. In 1973, the Central Bank of Malta took over the mandate of printing the banknotes. The notes were printed in Maltese on the obverse and English on the reverse and were in the denominations of 1, 5 and 10 liri. In 1986, the second banknotes were issued with the coins replacing the 1 note liri and 2 and 20 liri notes introduced. The new banknotes were printed between 1973 and 1989 in different series. The 2nd and 3rd series banknotes comprised of the 1, 5, and 10 Maltese pounds denominations while the 4th and 5th series comprised of the 2, 5, 10, and 20 Lira denominations.
In 2008, Malta joined the European Union. The Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union required its members to adopt the Euro as the official currency. In January 2008, the Central Bank of Malta began minting and distributing the Euro. It called for the conversion of the Lira at a fixed exchange rate of 0.429300:1. Maltese Lira coins were converted at all credit institutions up to February 2010, while notes continue to be exchanged with the last ones to be done in 2018.
Just like any other European Union country, the coins are minted in different designs. The Monnaie de Paris, which mints the Maltese Euro coins, has three different designs that were chosen through two rounds of public opinion in 2009. Three distinct designs comprise of the Mnajdra megalithic temples printed on the €0.01, €0.02, and €0.05 coins, Malta Coat of Arms printed on the €0.10, €0.20, and the €0.50 cents coins and the George Cross printed on the €1.00 and the €2.00 coins.

ASTeC is working in collaboration with COMET to provide flexible and user-driven keV electron beam accelerators for industrial applications
ASTeC is working in collaboration with COMET to provide
flexible and user-driven keV electron beam accelerators
for industrial applications.
© COMET-ebeam.
There are a number of societal and industrial applications that require high precision, medium-to-high energy electron beams (>1 MeV) such as security screening and radiotherapy; however, a significant proportion of industrial applications require beams of 'only' a few hundred keV. These include food packaging, adhesives, ink curing and equipment sterilisation. ASTeC is one of the few technology partners in the UK able to offer both keV and MeV electron beam facilities on one site so that researchers and engineers can fully optimise solutions across the full range of beam energies.
Working in partnership with COMET-ebeam, a leading supplier of low-energy systems to the global industrial user base, two innovative systems are available on the Daresbury Campus. The first is EBLab: a self-shielded 200 keV system optimised for ease-of-use and quick validation of electron beam suitability. EBLab includes a sample chamber with a footprint equivalent to an A4 sheet of paper and can hold samples several centimetres deep. A wide variety of irradiation conditions can be achieved and results are typically be obtained in a matter of minutes with minimal sample preparation.
The second system takes the same internal components as the EBLab systems and houses them in a 4×3×3 m3 (L×W×H) shielded enclosure enabling high volume manufacturing sample environments to be accurately replicated (e.g. printing web wind and rewind rigs). Together these facilities enable industrial partners and academic research groups to efficiently confirm the suitability of keV electron beams, optimise dosage and processing requirements and validate equipment design for production environments. Where keV electrons beams prove unsuitable research resources can be redirected to higher power, higher specification machines at the Daresbury Campus, including the compact Linac facility and VELA.
As well as stimulating UK e conomic growth and academic research programmes, the two installed systems also have a role in the training of ASTeC students, enabling direct demonstration of the effects of varying beam parameters on final products. This also makes them ideal tools as part of the ASTeC outreach programme to illustrate the relevance of particle accelerators to everyday life.

Background: Tourism is an evolving and changing industry, and keeping up with these changes requires an understanding of the forces and changes that shape this industry's outcomes. Tourism managers struggle daily to stay ahead in the competition to attract more tourists to destinations. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the past could shed light on the advantages of the future.
Aim: The aim of this study was to do a temporal analysis of the competitiveness of South Africa as a tourism destination.
Setting: This research investigated the competitive position of South Africa as a tourism destination just after the 1994 elections and compared those results to the results of a similar study in 2014.
Methods: In this article, a frequency analysis revealed South Africa's strengths and weaknesses, after which t-tests indicated the relationship between the strengths and weaknesses of the destination and the factors that contribute to South Africa's competitiveness.
Results: South Africa's strengths include the quality of the food and experience, scenery, variety of accommodation climate and geographical features. It is clear that respondents identified different attributes that contributed to the strengths of the destination in comparison with 2002, where the strengths were wildlife, scenery, cultural diversity, climate, value for money, variety of attractions and specific icons.
Conclusion: This research is valuable for South Africa because it informs tourism role players about what respondents perceive to be South Africa's strengths. Role players can then form strategies that incorporate the strengths to create competitive advantage. This article also indicates the areas in which the country has grown in the past decade as well as indicating which weaknesses remain a problem.
