A Recap of Jacksonville's 2018 NPSL Season
Michael Card, ArmadaFC.com
The Jacksonville Armada FC's fourth season was its best yet. The club placed second in the NPSL's Sunshine Conference, and finished with a 7W-2L-3D record. The Armada FC was the first professional soccer team in Jacksonville to make the playoffs since the Tea Men in 1981.
Jacksonville's season ended in a 3-1 loss to Miami FC 2 in the Sunshine Conference Finals, and Miami went on to compete in the NPSL National Final. Despite the postseason ending, there were plenty of positives to take away from the Armada FC's season.
Open Cup Success
Jacksonville's season started on a high note when the team won three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches at the beginning of the season. The three victories marked a club record for games won in a single Open Cup tournament.
The Armada FC qualified for the Open Cup by winning its Play-In Round matchup 2-1 against The Villages SC on May 6. The team then went on to the First Round, where it defeated SIMA Aguilas 2-0 on May 9 to advance to the Second Round. In the Second Round, Jacksonville defeated the United Soccer League's Tampa Bay Rowdies 1-0 on May 16.
Jacksonville's Open Cup run ended in the Third Round in a 2-0 loss to NPSL foe Miami United FC on May 23.
Success at Hodges
Jacksonville went undefeated at Hodges Stadium, finishing with six wins and one draw at the home venue. In that stretch, the team outscored its opponents 18-3, and kept a clean sheet in five matches.
While playing at home, the Armada FC picked up big wins over Storm FC, Miami FC 2, Boca Raton FC, Palm Beach United, Naples United FC and Miami United FC. Its most notable win at home came in a 7-0 thriller against Boca Raton FC on June 17. The players put on a show for the fans in attendance as they scored a club record for goals in a match. In that match, J.C. Banks and Joshua Castellanos scored a brace with other goals coming from Ciarán Kilduff, Christian Silva and Conor Doyle.
Talent on the Team
One of the most promising takeaways from the season was the young talent showcased by the Armada FC. Jacksonville natives Castellanos and Melvin both played an important role in their debut season with the Armada FC.
Castellanos scored four goals in his professional debut with the Armada FC and was a key player in the team's offense. He was only one goal behind J.C. Banks and Ciarán Kilduff, who led the team with five goals each in the regular season. Castellanos played soccer locally at the University of North Florida before joining the Armada FC this season.
First-year defenseman Melvin played in 11 games for the Armada FC during the regular season and was heavily relied on to play quality minutes throughout the summer. Melvin went to Nease High School with Castellanos and played collegiate soccer at Clemson.
Several Armada FC players received recognition from the NPSL for their effort in 2018. Brian Holt, Mechack Jérôme, Yuma and Derek Gebhard were placed on the NPSL Sunshine Conference XI team. Yuma also made the NPSL South Region XI and was nominated for the NPSL National XI and Golden Ball award, which recognizes the best overall player in the league.
The Fans Chose Player of the Year
The fans voted Yuma as the Armada FC's 2018 Player of the Year. Yuma started 14 games for Jacksonville this season, and logged 1,236 total minutes in the regular season and the playoff matches combined. His ability to manage matches from the midfield position made him an integral part of Jacksonville's success this season.

| Risk-takers rewarded with stick, not carrot
Vanessa Mazandi
Risk-takers rewarded with stick, not carrot
Vanessa Mazandi 12:00 am, Sep 30, 2004
This past Sunday, former Boston Globe columnist, Michael Holley, released "Patriot Reign: Bill Belichick, the Coaches, and the Players who Built a Champion." Before you stop reading, rest easy because amazingly this column includes no rant on the Patriots. I know — it's not entirely implausible that I'd find something worth writing about, even in a week when the team had a bye. I resisted — still haven't figured out how I did it.
Anyhow, in an excerpt from the book, Holley describes the backlash that followed the release of charismatic Patriots safety, Lawyer Milloy. Holley's point that "pure businessmen will never go over the middle, and pure players will never reduce things to business" got me thinking about contracts, hirings and firings in professional sports. In this world, it's businessmen versus "players."
Businessmen make cuts, make quick decisions, and don't hang around waiting for a magical season to strike their organization. Statistics drive these decisions more than intangibles like dedication and selflessness.
The way professional sports are going right now, the businessmen rule the roost and true players who are willing to "go over the middle" are viewed as heroes when they make it but little more than economic liabilities when they have a below average season. Contract issues arise when owners fail to appreciate the risks true players take.
Take Trent Dilfer for one. He's been cut from the Buccaneers, the Ravens (right after helping them amass 34 points in their defense-driven Super Bowl victory of 2000) and is currently Matt Hasselbeck's back up in Seattle. Dilfer's un-businesslike modesty prompted him to publicly downplay his role in the 2000 victory. Amidst claims that coach Brian Billick was no longer the offensive coordinator he once was in Minnesota, Dilfer responded "Anyone can come up with great scheme opponent when you have Randy Moss and Cris Carter — it's pretty hard when you have Trent Dilfer as your quarterback." His penchant for playing hard often gets him injured — broken clavicle with Tampa Bay in 1999 and sprained right MCL as starter for Seattle in 2002 — and certainly have been the reason he's been so underappreciated over the years.
In 2000, after taking over for quarterback Tony Banks, Dilfer helped turn Baltimore's season around to snag the Wild Card spot. The defense was the true story of Baltimore's AFC victory, but Dilfer's 96-yard touchdown pass to Shannon Sharpe helped secure the win against a Rich Gannon-led Raiders team and their psychotic fans.
After being released by Baltimore, Dilfer commented on the disparity between stats and a player's actual worth.
"It's the ultimate paradox in the NFL," Dilfer said. "Because they say that all that matters is winning, but then when you win, it's under-appreciated and they want more glamour."
Athletes aren't the only ones who can be betrayed for being true players. Coaches deal with this all the time. Look at the rash of NFL coaches who were fired in the past two years for "failing to deliver." Take a look at current Detroit Lions and fired San Francisco coach, Steve Mariucci. Mariucci is a total "player" — willing to clash with fascist owner, John York, and jeopardize his job to make sure the team was going in the direction he knew it had to go in to succeed. For the record, this is the same guy who took San Francisco to four playoff berths during his six years as coach. Immediately hired by the Lions following his release, Mariucci led the struggling Lions to a 5-11 record (5-3 at home) last season which ain't bad considering the Lions were 2-14 in 2002. This fall, they are already off to a 2-1 start.
To take a look at what can happen when things go right, more owners should follow the examples of the Patriots (sorry, but really, they've done good for themselves). Bob Kraft twice failed and fortunately learned that both backseat coaching brilliant play callers (ahem — The Tuna) as well as hiring coaches who don't have enough backbone to take charge (cough cough, Pete Carroll) won't allow a team to function at the highest level. As well, the Patriots of the last three years have been blessed with a team FULL of real players. The Patriots are chock full of talented AND selfless players who know enough to refer to themselves in the FIRST person during interviews.
Want a possible reason the Colts came up short against the Patriots? Both teams have remarkable up-right splitters in Adam Vinatieri and Mike Vanderjagt. Compare the two men's off-field personas of last year, though, and it's a whole different story. On the Patriots, you have guy who went a whole season letting people think he was in a slump rather than come off as a whiner by letting the fans and media in on the truth about his back pain. The other, who shares a roster with MVP Peyton freakin' Manning, prefers to complain about how he's the only member of his team who's stepping it up and doing his job — yes Mike, you are doing your job scoring a maximum of three points every time you take the field. Quick, somebody get this guy a Mike's Hard Lemonade.
To balance out my Boston reference — fine I'll do it, I'll talk about how the Yankees of the Paul O'Neil era also embodied these traits — happy? It's a real tribute to both manager and owner that Torre and Steinbrenner have been able to co-exist in a city the size of New York (come to think of it, with the size of Steinbrenner's ego, it's amazing he hasn't forced the whole island of Manhattan to relocate in order to accommodate him.) The key to the Yankees' success is that (most of the time) Steinbrenner recognizes the genius and commitment in Torre and in turn, allows him to be a "go across the middle" type of "player," err manager. The Yankees' roster of 1997-2000 was full of baseball's own versions of "Willie McGinist's and Adam Vinatieri's." Full of guys who weren't talented enough to worry about how an injury would alter their contract requests; guys who were humble enough to lead the real superstars on the team to several World Series Championships.
To bring it back to Dilfer, the quarterback had this to say about his release from the Super Bowl Championship Ravens.
"The difficult part has been not being wanted as much as being underappreciated, as being almost disgraced by a team that you really gave the best year of your life to," Dilfer said.
Perhaps had Dilfer focused more on making long drives and less on not making mistakes that could cost his TEAM a game — perhaps had he been more of a savvy businessman, he'd still be taking snaps for the team called the Baltimore Ravens that ALMOST won a Super Bowl. Alas, there is no room for businessmen on championship teams because businessmen seek profit while players seek championships and as history has proven, when one side refuses to go across the middle, no one wins.

The Arteon isn't a bad car – it's good looking and drives well – but it's difficult to see why customers would choose one over its premium rivals, especially the models at the upper end of the rage. With doubts over how strong resale values will be, the cheaper versions make more sense; and if you're tempted by VW's flagship model, those are the versions we suggest you consider.
Interested in buying a Volkswagen Arteon?
The exterior design heralds a fresh look for VW, with a bold front end and a grille that extends into the headlights. You can expect to see this look on future VWs, too. The Arteon has strong lines that are often defined by chrome and stand out from the competition; you're not going to mistake it for anything else. Although there are several variants of the Arteon available in Europe, the UK gets just the two high-end trims. Elegance models are geared towards an understated, classy look, while R-Line cars have a more sporty image, that includes a more aggressive front bumper design with wider air scoops, R-Line badges on the wings, a rear spoiler and tinted rear windows. It also has larger, 19-inch alloy wheels, rather than the 18-inch units fitted to the Elegance cars.
Step inside the Arteon and you're greeted by an environment immediately familiar to anyone that's been in almost any modern Volkswagen. That's not a bad thing in itself, but for a premium car trying to rival the Audi A5 Sportback, and its benchmark interior quality, we could perhaps have hoped for more. While the design, materials and build quality are all perfectly acceptable, it doesn't feel as special as its rivals. The seating position is good, with plenty of adjustment, although some may wish the driver's seat lowered slightly more than it does. The infotainment touch-screen measures 8.0 inches in its standard form, but you can upgrade to a 9.2-inch unit with the optional Discover Navigation Pro package. This looks fantastic and has plenty of features, but it's not as easy to use as the simpler version, which has more buttons and extra shortcuts. We are fans, however, of the Active Info Display; a fully digital, customisable instrument panel that replaces traditional analogue dials and is standard across the range.
Having a sloping, coupe-like roofline can sometimes cause issues with headroom for adults in the back, but only passengers over six feet tall will worry about limited headroom in the back of the Arteon. There's plenty of legroom, too, and the boot is cavernous. Using a hatchback instead of a saloon-style bootlid means easy access to the 563-litre space, and the rear seats fold down almost flat to give up to 1,557-litres of luggage room, which is considerably more than rivals. The front gets decent-sized door pockets, two cupholders and several cubby holes to store bits and bobs.
We've tried both R-Line and Elegance cars, but in both the suspension set-up is too stiff, particularly at low speed. The result is that all manner of bumps in the road are transmitted into the cabin, even with the standard adaptive suspension set to Comfort. Sadly, the car doesn't feel particularly sporty, either - even when you opt for a sportier setting in the Dynamic Chassis Control - and certainly not enough to justify the lumpy ride. The rival BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe not only feels sharper, it also rides more comfortably. That said, if you don't work the Arteon too hard and stick to sweeping main roads rather than tight and twisty B-roads, you'll be playing to its strengths. In those conditions, you can appreciate the nicely weighted steering, decent composure through the corners and quiet cabin at high speeds on the motorway.
Contrary to VW's initial plans, there is a wide range of petrol and diesel engines to choose from in the Arteon, although we're yet to drive what is expected to be the cheapest model, with a 150PS 1.5-litre petrol engine. However, we have driven the most basic diesel-engined model, with a 150PS version of the 2.0-litre TDI engine, and for the most part, it works really well. We drove it with the optional seven-speed automatic gearbox, and It's a little slow to get the car rolling away from rest, but once you're on the open road, the good low-down torque makes for a very responsive car. It's more than quick enough, and you certainly don't need any more.
If you want more, though, you won't be disappointed. The top models both have 2.0-litre turbocharged engines, the petrol with 276bhp and the diesel with 237bhp but more torque, and both come only with dual-clutch automatic gearboxes. Both engines are impressive, with more than enough power to whisk you along very briskly without raising the pulse too high, and the gearboxes are excellent. The diesel is slightly noisy, but not to a point where it ruins the experience. We're yet to drive the 190PS diesel car, but the similarly powerful petrol model is plenty quick enough, although we found it doesn't work quite as smoothly with the standard automatic transmission as the more powerful engines. Particularly at low speeds, the gearbox struggled to work out which gear to choose, and the changes weren't as smooth as we'd like.
We have no doubt that the cheaper versions of the Arteon will make more sense to buy - and not just because of the lower list prices. The relatively high prices of the more powerful models pits them against cars from Audi, Jaguar and BMW, and the Arteon's resale values are weaker, as it has the badge of a volume manufacturer when it's trying to compete in a premium marketplace.
The 150PS 2.0 TDI is more tempting, with a relatively low list price, average economy of more than 60mpg (with a manual gearbox) and correspondingly low CO2 emissions. However, even it works out as dearer to run than the equivalent models from Audi and BMW, primarily because it loses more of its value over time. Its only saving grace is that it's cheaper to insure.
As a brand-new model, there's no historical data to call on for the Arteon. But going by Warranty Direct's Reliability Index of general manufacturer performance, there's some cause for concern, as Volkswagen sits in the bottom half of the rankings. However, owner reviews for VW's next biggest saloon/estate, the Passat, are much more positive, so hopefully the Arteon will push the company upwards, but we'll have to wait and see.
One of the Arteon's big selling points is the amount of technology included, and that includes lots of cutting-edge safety gadgets. One of the headline features is an advanced adaptive cruise control system, which uses cameras to read speed limit signs and update the settings accordingly. When you reach a 30mph zone, for example, the cruise control will automatically slow to meet the new limit. It also uses GPS data to slow the car automatically when you reach a bend or junction. It's a very clever idea, but in practice, it seems hugely conservative in its approach, braking far earlier than you would if you were controlling the speed yourself, and taking the bend at an unnervingly slow pace.
The (optional) system will also spot if you've passed out behind the wheel, jolting you first with the seatbelt and brakes, and then automatically stopping the car on the hard shoulder if you don't respond. In addition, there are two Isofix child seat fitting points and seven airbags as standard.
On top of all that, the Arteon received the full five stars when crash-tested by safety organisation Euro NCAP.
The amount of kit available in the Arteon will be one of the main reasons for buying one, and it's crammed with the kind of features that will woo Audi and BMW customers. Elegance cars come with sat-nav, DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and three-zone climate control, with separate controls for the driver, front-seat passenger and rear-seat passengers. Over and above that, the differences on the R-Line model are all stylistic, but there are plenty of attractive options, such as improved audio and infotainment systems, a head-up display, and a panoramic sunroof that brightens up the cabin.
The Arteon is certainly an appealing car, not least because of the way it looks, how much space there is inside, and how much standard equipment it comes with. Trouble is, it's a little difficult to see why you'd choose it over its premium rivals, which offer many of the same qualities, can work out as cheaper to run, and have a deserved grip on this part of the market.


I am a Unitarian Universalist (UU). I am also a Muslim. I have been a UU since I was 18, but was exposed to Islam at university. I was a political science/international studies student, and had made friends from many places and many backgrounds from around the world. Many of them were Muslims. I was fascinated by the Qur'an and by their devotedness to doing good works. They were compassionate, non-judgmental, and highly rational, questioning the status at every turn. I considered converting then, but I knew my family would shun me. However, I remained interested in Islam my whole life.
I tried out many different spiritual paths, from agnosticism, to Quakerism, to Christianity (I even got baptized at a Southern Baptist Church! But that's another story). I was a witch for many years. But none of those religious frameworks fulfilled all of my spiritual needs. I craved a deeper connection to the Divine. I never have believed that Jesus Christ was divine, although I believed him to be a great teacher of peace, faith and the grace of God. I believed that the Universe existed independent of God, that the universe was driven by laws that science could discover. I am fascinated by physics, and while I am no true physicist, every new discovery made during my lifetime has only made my reverence for the Divine Master, whatever it was, grow stronger and stronger.
I went through my late 30s restless, desperate to make a deep connection. I wrestled with my soul, trying to find what made it whole. I was angry, confused, and lashing out at loved ones, isolating myself in a fog of disillusionment and existential crisis.
Finally, about a year ago, I rediscovered Islam. I began to read, go to open houses at local mosques, and talk to other Muslims. I was forty years old, and had decided I couldn't live my life trying to be what others expected of me. I was my own person, and I stopped caring about what other people thought of me. I needed to be my own person and follow the path chosen for me by God, regardless of how others judged me.
I made the decision to convert in October of 2017, just four months ago.
As I was converting in October, I debated whether I was going to quit the Unitarian Universalist Church in favor of the masjid. However, after attending several Jummah prayers (Friday prayers) and hearing the khutbah (Friday sermons), I realized I am too progressive, too liberal, too. .. American to fit in. I tried. I really did.
The sisters were kind and generous. But they were all foreign and I did not understand their culture. Most of them were much older than me, and I did not find any woman my age to connect with. They tried to make me change my way of dressing to a manner that was not of my culture. Furthermore, my husband balked at the idea of me wearing hijab and an abaya (long dress commonly worn by Muslim women) in public, fearing violence against me in the heart of the Bible Belt in the United States. The men at the masjid would not speak to me because I was a woman and I was not seen as an equal. And they had all blindly accepted the patriarchy of contemporary Sunni Islam without question. I could not survive in my faith in such an environment.
I realized I could not leave my Unitarian Universalist Church with a clear conscience. I needed to work for social justice. I needed intellectual discourse with both men AND women freely. I needed my perspective of the universe and my own private views challenged. And most importantly, I needed a community who accepted me as I came, and didn't try to mold me into something I was not and could never be.
Progressive Islam and Unitarian Universalism ARE compatible. Both (ideally) fight for the less fortunate, taking care of the needy and oppressed. Both believe in justice for all people. Both believe in the involvement of the democratic process in the management of their congregations. Traditional Unitarianism denied the Holy Trinity and the divinity of Christ, just as Islam does. As you can see, many Qur'anic principles are also supported by Unitarian Universalism. Compassion for the less fortunate, encouragement to freely explore your beliefs with reason, election of the best among you to lead your congregation, justice and equity, tolerance of those of other faiths— these are all things that both religions have in common.
My hope is that progressive Muslims who feel they have been pushed out of Islam by modern conservatism and sectarianism can try to find a home in the Unitarian Universalist Church. There are people of all faiths in these congregations, from humanists, to Christians, to Buddhists - even pagans. But we do not proselytize to each other. There is no compulsion in faith, either in Islam or in UU. We are there together to form a community of compassion, love, and fight for the justice and civil rights of all people, regardless of creed, race, gender identity, sexuality, or socioeconomic status.
I love my life now. Islam has given me the meaning and connection to God that I have sought my whole live. And my church accepts me just as I am: a bisexual, mentally ill, outspoken Muslim progressive woman.

New York City is an attractive city for most travelers. It is, though, one of the cities with the most expensive services and items. The average amount of money that many people spend on a night in New York is around $200. This tells you that without proper planning and budgeting; only a single day in this city can leave you in large debts. This article aims at helping you save money while in a trip to New York City.
1. Use a map. A map will help you when on a visit to area you are not well conversant with. Get maps showing the locations that you want to visit. Group locations near each other together and visit them at the same time. Luckily, technology has nowadays advanced and you can get a detailed map on your phone using Google Maps or any other application. This will save you the extra cost of taxis or any expense incurred when visiting different locations without a map.
2. Use public transport. Public transport is always cheaper. Sometimes you just need not use your car, especially if the area you plan on visiting has no cheaper parking and is just nearby. There are many public buses and trains in New York City that can help you solve this at cheaper costs.
3. Make sure you plan your parking well. Parking fees in New York are very expensive and can greatly add up to your budget. Plan well on how you will be parking your car while there. Another way that can help you gets cheaper parking is if you book in advance. You can also shop for cheaper parking lots online that you can get at great discounts.
4. Walk shorter distances. Walking shorter distances will also help you save money. The good thing is that it is also a form of exercise and is therefore healthy to your body. Walk shorter distances as it will also enable you see many other places you would not have easily seen.
5. Consider lodging alternatives. There are many alternatives that you can use to avoid expensive lodging fees. You can even consider swapping homes as it is cheaper than having to book a hotel every day. You can also sleep in hostels as a way of saving more money.
6. Book a hotel outside the city. Do not just prefer staying within the city. Midtown hotels are very expensive and will leave you with bigger budgets. New York has a comprehensive transport system that it is cheaper to stay even within the city suburbs. The trains and buses are cost effective so as the hotels outside the city. Even if you add the cost of transport to the hotel's location, you will still be able to save a lot more.
7. Shop at discount stores. New York has many flashy and expensive items that can easily make you spend a fortune while shopping. Be a smart consumer and do your shopping wisely. Buy most of your products from discount stores within or outside the city. In discount stores, items are always cheaper and are sold at great discounts that are good to your budget.
8. Sometimes prefer driving. It is sometimes cheaper to drive than to use a train or bus. For instance, if you have a family or a group of people, you should prefer using your car. The cost of gas will be cheaper than the cost of paying for each of them at a train station.
9. Obtain a membership plan. Theatres and concerts in New York can also be costly if you do not plan for them well. For instance, if you are the type who loves them, you can obtain an Audience Extras membership which wil help you get to these concerts and theatres at great discounts. With this membership, you only need to pay a reservation fee to get a ticket. This can help you save money.
10. Go to cheaper events. Do not just overpay on expensive concerts and theatres if you do not have a membership plan. There are numerous cheap events, theatres and performances that you can attend.

Driver kills child when he cannot stop in time on freeway, pleads not guilty to manslaughter charges.
According to online records, Armstrong Owen Kitchen pleaded not guilty in Orange County Superior Court this week. He is accused of contributing to the car accident that resulted in the death of a two year old toddler, Sophia Sales. He has pleaded not guilty to the crash as well as marijuana possession.
The accident occurred last year when Mr. Sales had come to a stop on the freeway due to a car with mechanical problems in front of him. Due to heavy traffic they were unable to change lanes and the car traveling behind them was Kitchen. Even though both children in the SUV were in safety seats, the car was rear-ended at a full force-around 55mph.
The two -year old, Sophia was found unconscious and along with her father and 3 month old brother were all taken to the hospital. Sophia died later that day from injuries to her head and chest. At her mass, her parents noted that Sophia will live on in four other children since her organs were donated.
Freeway injuries are common due to distracted drivers. Don't be a victim twice, protect your rights by hiring a qualified lawyer to represent you in your auto accident case. Call us a 949 752-7474 for a consultation.

Fosun buys Thomas Cook brand for 11 million pounds
AFP , Published : Nov 2, 2019, 1:49 pm IST | Updated : Nov 2, 2019, 1:49 pm IST
Thomas Cook declared bankruptcy in September after an attempt to secure USD 250 million from private investors fell through.
Hong Kong-listed Fosun, which was already the biggest shareholder in Thomas Cook and also owns France-based resort giant Club Med, had backed out of the eleventh hour deal to keep the debt-plagued company afloat.
Beijing: Chinese conglomerate Fosun has snapped up the Thomas Cook brand for 11 million pounds (USD 14.2 million), weeks after the renowned British travel group went bust and left hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers stranded abroad.
Thomas Cook's demise in September sparked 22,000 job losses worldwide and triggered Britain's biggest repatriation since World War II, with the government paying to fly home 140,000 tourists.
The 178-year-old British institution declared bankruptcy in September after an attempt to secure USD 250 million from private investors fell through.
Fosun will now take ownership of the brand rights to Thomas Cook as well as subsidiary hotel chains Casa Cook and Cook's Club under the terms of the purchase agreement, it said in a statement late Friday.
The acquisition would build upon Fosun's existing tourism holdings and "the robust growth momentum of Chinese outbound tourism," said Qian Jiannong, the chairman of Fosun's travel arm.
Thomas Cook had struggled against fierce online competition for some time and blamed Brexit uncertainty for a drop in bookings before its collapse.

Belt conveyor systems belong to the category of continuous conveyors and are used all over the world for bulk material handling over long distances, for example, in open-pit mines, such as the lignite areas in Germany or copper mines in Chile.
The ship unloading conveyors comprises an equipment made of a mobile hopper on wheels and mobile conveyor belts. The hopper collects the bulk material from the mobile shaft of the self-unloading ship, and it is provided with a mobile covering system in order to avoid dust leakage.
Bulk handling For downhill conveyors, continuous regenerative braking operation is typically required. Here, an Active Front End (AFE) drive or alternatively a regenerative drive panel solution, using a standard 6-pulse drive with separate regenerative module, is the best solution to feed back energy when the conveyor runs downhill.
Kase Belt Trippers are used in many industries including aggregate, lime, chemical, mining and power industries for discharging bulk materials to storage or processing. Kase designs and manufactures each belt tripper to meet specific customer requirements and in accordance with industry standards.

Recognised for its organic ingredients, passionate values, and charitable endeavours, Lush is one of the UK's most beloved homegrown brands, renowned for shaking up the beauty industry.
The first thing that hits you when entering the retailer's offline stores is their aroma and the tactile, sensory experiences on offer, from enticing store layouts, to live product demonstrations that allow shoppers to touch and feel products.
Lush wanted to bring this bold, sensory experience to the world of online shopping by overhauling its existing online shop. The last thing Lush wanted was a standard ecommerce store selling tubs of indistinguishable products.
Instead, its team wanted to create an editorial-led website that would use video, GIFS, and striking copy to engage visitors with its brand narrative, rather than brazenly pushing a path to checkout.
Inviqa worked with Lush's in-house digital team and other digital partners to deliver a brand-new website in line with the retailer's distinctive branding and emphasis on engaging, sensory customer experiences.
The new site offers an engaging, content-rich user experience aided by the likes of 'behind the scenes' photos, vibrant videos, and educational copy on its product ingredients. Products are taken out of their containers, GIFs show them in action, and colourful imagery and quirky copywriting brings them to life.
The website, which was put together using a design-led approach and live style guide, makes optimal use of Lush's colourful imagery and quirky copywriting. It's populated with a mix of editorial, political, and product content, and the homepage uses this blend to great effect, rather than simply pushing product ranges.
Call-to-actions are editorially-driven, and the focus throughout is on story-telling and immersion. Users are encouraged to explore how Lush products are made, vote for limited-edition products, and explore Lush's humanitarian and environmental projects.
Under the hood, the site is powered by Drupal Commerce, has a fully responsive design, and flexible hosting that allows the site to scale quickly with rising traffic levels.
The Body Shop feels like an ecommerce site that happens to be branded as the Body Shop. Lush feels like...Lush's website that happens to sell stuff, too. There's a big difference.
The new Lush site experienced a dramatic spike in traffic and conversion and has resonated with a growing community of customers leading to continued online growth.
Once considered a niche beauty brand, the retailer has broken through to the mainstream and is considered one of the most progressive brands when it comes to customer experience.
Following the site's success, Inviqa went on to develop the brand site's social integration, enterprise search, a shop locator, and APIs to power the LUSH mobile app. We also carried out vital integrations with the retailer's warehouse, logistics, and customer service systems.
With its pioneering approach to content-driven commerce and powerful storytelling, the Lush website has received numerous industry accolades and was recognised at The Webby Awards, hailed as the 'Internet's highest honor' by The New York Times.

Bolstering the civic engagement of food access organizations across NY state.
Advocacy is more important than ever.
In cities all across New York State, nonprofits and local organizations are working at a grassroots level to help underserved communities get access to healthy and affordable food. But many of these organizations don't have the funding, resources, knowledge or connections to effectively advocate for their work, missing out on critical opportunities to influence government policy and funding decisions.
That's why Equity Advocates is working to help build up a community of powerful advocates and leaders within the food movement.
We provide policy analysis and education, advocacy training, and coalition building services to support organizations with the tools they need to be strong advocates for their work.
Through this work, we are helping to build a nonpartisan grassroots movement to ensure that all New Yorkers, regardless of race or income, can access and afford healthy food.
Almost 1.5 million New Yorkers live in areas with limited supermarket access. Accessing healthy food is especially challenging for those living in lower-income neighborhoods and communities of color. For individuals in these communities, getting to the supermarket can mean traveling long distances—a feat that can be expensive and prohibitive without a car. Even when healthy food options are available in these communities, the quality and variety are often lacking. There is a statistically significant link between the ethnic makeup of a neighborhood and the number of fast food restaurants. In the US, there are 2.4 fast food restaurants per square mile in majority black neighborhoods compared to 1.5 fast food restaurants per square mile in majority white neighborhoods.
Even if low-income individuals have physical access to healthy food, they often can't afford it. Disparities in social determinants such as wealth, poverty and low socioeconomic status exist across racial and ethnic lines and can contribute to poor health outcomes. In 2017, the average black household made $39,490 while the average white household made $61,372. Studies have shown that convenience stores like bodegas found in large numbers in cities across New York typically charge 11 percent more than larger supermarkets for the same good. Researchers at Harvard have also found that healthier diet patterns—for example, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and nuts—cost significantly more than unhealthy diets. On average, a day's worth of the most healthy diet patterns cost a person about $550 more per year than the least healthy ones.
When it comes to fighting for food equity, advocacy is one of our most powerful tools. Many organizations don't have the funding or bandwidth to advocate for their communities, missing out on critical opportunities to influence government policies and funding decisions. That's why Equity Advocates provides policy education, advocacy training, and coalition building services to empower these organizations with the knowledge, support and resources they need to be strong advocates for their work.
Influence significant policy and program decisions.
Our government representatives decide where and how to direct resources. They can offer incentives, support and assistance for programs. They can write new policies or change them. But they can't know what's best for our communities without our input. That's why we need to have a strong voice in government – to ensure that officials are working to create policies and programs that support food equity.
Every year, our government representatives make decisions about how to divide budgets to best serve the needs of their communities. By having a seat at the table, we can make sure the key decision-makers have our members needs in mind as they sit down to make their funding decisions.
Create a more diverse coalition of leaders.
All across New York State, a diverse and dedicated community of nonprofits are working to combat the disparities in healthy food access. And yet, the diversity of these communities is not adequately represented in the policymaking process. Without representation, their voices, their priorities and their needs are not being heard. We can change that by empowering our grassroots leaders–the people working and living in these communities day in and day out–with the tools they need to become powerful advocates for their work.

Brad Richards – Dallas has plummeted down the Western Conference standings after an impressive start, and now they might have to consider dealing their star centre. Richards is a free agent to be and Dallas has little hope of re-signing him. The Stars' asking price is currently enormous, so unless they reduce their demands, Richards will stay put. Still, he's a game-changer, so he's the guy everyone will be focused on leading up to the deadline.
Paul Stastny – Colorado has been awful in the second half, but no one expected them to make the significant changes to their roster that we've seen over the last week. Stastny's name has recently appeared in rumours, and the Avalanche may be interested in moving the remaining three-years, $19.8 million on his contract. If Dallas' demands remain sky-high, Stastny may be an alternative as a top line centre for playoff contenders.
Stephen Weiss – Florida has been willing to part with basically all its assets in recent years except Weiss. Once again, the Panthers don't seem likely to part with him, but if they change their minds, there will be a long list of suitors.
Jason Arnott – Arnott hasn't indicated that he's interested in leaving New Jersey, and the other Devils don't want to see him go. With the Devils streaking, trading Arnott may not make much sense, but New Jersey also knows that it needs to start planning for the future. Expect New Jersey to field calls on Arnott, and if there's a strong offer on the table, the Devils may pull the trigger.
John-Michael Liles – Liles is mentioned every year around this time, but Colorado seems keen on moving him this time. He got off to a tremendous start this season, but Liles' play has dropped off along with the rest of the Avalanche.
Bryan McCabe – McCabe has just returned from a hand injury, and is drawing heavy interest from teams in need of a veteran, puck-moving defenseman. At 35-years-old, McCabe is strictly a rental, but he could be a difference maker for a playoff team.
Ales Hemsky – The oft-injured winger can be a point per game player, but he can also be very frustrating. Plenty of teams are looking to add just a bit more offence at this time of year, and Edmonton is looking for as many young assets and picks as possible. Hemsky to the Kings seems like a perfect fit.
Dustin Penner – He's the other Oiler that looks like he'll be moved by the deadline. Penner was very inconsistent at the start of his career, but he's become a pretty decent power forward over the last two years.
Chris Phillips – The defenseman has struggled through his worst season, but Ottawa's overall play may be to blame. The Senators have discussed a contract extension with Phillips, but if nothing looks like it'll get done by Monday Ottawa may decide to move him.
Tomas Vokoun – Vokoun is set to be a free agent and the Panthers have a top-notch goalie prospect ready to go in Jacob Markstrom. Vokoun could command a hefty return, so Florida should be dangling him.

Hygge: Cosy Fashion for Winter 2017
It's autumn 2017, and I think by now we've all seen the word 'hygge' appear in some shape or form. If you haven't, hygge is a convenient Danish word (pronounced hue-guh) for something that has a certain cosiness to it. It's a little more than a feeling - although that's what we, as the non-Scandinavian variety, tend to pigeonhole it as - hygge is more like a state of consciousness, where you're relaxed, secure and contented with the present moment. It has a simplicity to it: hygge can be the act of lighting candles in your living room, or slowly sipping a cup of hot chocolate in your favourite chair. You can even find hygge in a homemade stew, or a dressing gown that's been hanging in the airing cupboard.
For many of you reading this blog, fashion might be the way to achieve a sense of hygge this winter. Take the humble chunky knit; a quick Google search drums up 22.7 million results for this phrase, and you can spend hours scrolling through thousands of chunky knit jumpers, scarves and cardigans on Pinterest - I think I even saw a skirt on there once - which means that plenty of us are on the fashion hygge bandwagon.
If you've been on the search for the perfect chunky knit jumper yourself, you'll have probably spied the hundreds of imposters on the high street. The ones masquerading as chunky when in fact they're thinner than the ice you're standing on when you don't reciprocate your mother-in-law's Christmas
card. Either that, or they feel so synthetic that you'd become worried about standing next to an open flame (there goes those candles I mentioned). What we all want is a proper chunky knit - one which engulfs us but at the same time looks premium quality and super chic, like February-New-York-Fashion-Week-street-style chic.
When I picture my perfect chunky knit jumper, it most definitely has an absurdly long turtle neck which I can bunch up to my ear lobes, as well balloon sleeves that are big enough to look deliberate, but small enough to fit under a coat if needed (no one wants to look like they've forced their arms into a jacket that fit them perfectly fine the month prior). Finish off the look with a warm neutral shade and I'm sold.
Is it too late to mention that I'm describing the gorgeous Tobi jumper that I'm wearing in these photos? I have to admit, I'm just a little bit in love with this. The silhouette is perfect, and the rips up the sides are a surprising addition to the aesthetic. Not only does it look cosy - it feels cosy. I've been wearing this both with coats and without, and I've felt nothing but toasty. Here, I've coupled the jumper with a pair of black, pinstripe, wide leg trousers from Bershka, some black, heeled ankle boots (which you can't see due to the length of the trousers), a black bag from H&M and some pink tinted glasses from zeroUV. This is a semi-casual look which I wore to go to the cinema with my boyfriend; however, I could easily wear this to work and feel both stylish and comfortable.
This is just one way you could wear this jumper, but I've also paired it with ripped, light blue denim jeans and white plimsols, as well as black skinny jeans and thigh high boots with just a bralette underneath. The thing about chunky knits is that they're versatile - throw one over a sequin mini dress you bought last year, et voilá: you've got a whole new outfit.
What would you pair with a chunky knit jumper? Let me know in the comments below!

Broadcast are a psychedelic/electronic band which formed in 1995 in Birmingham, England. The band originally consisted of Trish Keenan (vocals), Tim Felton (guitar), James Cargill (bass), Roj Stevens (keyboards) and Steve Perkins (drums). Perkins left the band in 2000, and Stevens and Felton left in 2005 to form the group Seeland. After the January 2011 death of Trish Keenan, James Cargill is the only current member of the band.
Perkins left the band in 2000, and Stevens and Felton left in 2005 to form the group Seeland. After the January 2011 death of Trish Keenan, James Cargill is the only current member of the band.
The band has released four albums in their career: "The Noise Made by People" (2000), "The Haha Sound" (2003), "Tender Buttons" (2005) and "Broadcast and The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age" (2009, with The Focus Group). Cargill has stated that plans for an album featuring Keenan's final recordings is in the works.
The band's style is a mixture of electronic sounds and Keenan's 1960s-influenced vocals. It is heavily influenced by the 1960s influenced American psychedelic group The United States of America, using many of the same electronic effects. It was also reminiscent of Stereolab. However, despite the similar musical pedigree, Broadcast's music is often darker and edgier in sound ? with amorphous samples and analogue dissonance giving it a retro-futuristic sci-fi edge.

A family meal with Food Tube's Kerryann
By JamieOliver.com • June 6, 2014 • In Family cooking, Special diets, Vegetarian
All books need to tell a great story, even cookbooks. Food is all about memories, emotions and connections. It makes us happy, brings people together and even changes lives. And that's certainly true of Kerryann Dunlop, one of the Food Tube stars offered the chance to publish their own Family Cook book with Penguin.
As one of the original 15 apprentices at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen, the only thing more obvious than her exceptionally ballsy approach to life was her talent in the kitchen. She went from a poor background and limited prospects to a fully qualified chef and a job at the exclusive Baker & Spice café and bakery. But a few years later she gave it all up for her kids.
For some that might seem like the end of a career. However, that's where the story of Kerryann's book begins. Kerryann learnt a lot at Fifteen, but her love of food comes from a source much closer to home, and that's the inspiration behind her Family Cook Book, which came out yesterday.
"I've always loved cooking. I'd always be in the kitchen, looking at what my Mum and Nan were cooking, and it's from them that I learnt how to cook. A lot of the recipes in this book are versions of my Mum's and Nan's, who passed down their knowledge to me."
Kerryann's book is full of the kind of recipes that families are crying out for. There are 50 classic recipes, each with a little twist that makes them special to Kerryann – from Chilli con veggie to Turkish-style couscous, and one of her all-time favourites, Cheesy potato pie with pimped-up baked beans. All quick, easy and delicious dishes that are perfect for kids.
That may sound like a bit ask, but as Jamie has always said, a little knowledge goes a long way. Knowing a few dishes can set you up for life, as you experiment with those recipes to make them your own, or branch out with new ideas and flavours. All the time you can rest assured you know exactly what is going into your meals because you cooked them, and you'll keep a lid on costs too.
"Since having kids, my cooking has become much more family orientated – I don't want them to eat ready-meals and processed food, I want to feed them like my Mum fed me. I grew up on good home-cooked food and it was my Mum and Nan who showed me that it's more than possible to make good food on a budget."
With Jamie's latest book, Save With Jamie, being all about saving money without compromising on flavour or nutrition, Kerryann's new style is right up his street. The fact that such lovely recipes come from someone brought up in a home full of good, home-cooked food backs up his argument that teaching kids to cook is the best way to combat obesity. Being part of Jamie's world has kept Kerryann's childhood dream of being a professional chef alive – now culminating in her first ever book. Since quitting the commercial kitchens she's appeared in lots of Jamie's shows, including Jamie's School Dinners and Jamie & Jimmy's Food Fight.
"As a child, I was obsessed with watching cookery programmes on the TV and, from a young age, Delia Smith was my favourite but as I got older, Jamie took over. He was young and always excited about what he was doing, which made him really easy to relate to.
"He is just an amazing bank of knowledge, and his passion for food and what he does is so contagious. He's never been unable to answer any question I've asked him, and he always explains things in such a way that's impossible not to understand. He is a perfect teacher."
So if Jamie never inspired you, it's now time for Kerryann to have a go. You can buy her book here.

GN 1
After going out and getting remade as a mecha-saturated anime, The Seven Samurai accidentally wanders onto the printed page. Once there, spunky wannabe-samurai Katsushiro becomes the main character, bumbling about trying to gather skilled warriors for rural cutie Kirara, a priestess in search of folks to help protect her hometown from bandits. With the assistance of Kirara's special purity-of-soul-detecting stone, Katsushiro eventually tracks down Kanbei, a grizzled veteran who agrees to organize the defense of the village—provided he can gather six more samurai.
The worst part of Gonzo's animated remake of Akira Kurosawa's classic samurai drama wasn't the things it added (giant robots and spaceship-slicing samurai) or the things it removed (Kurosawa's dark humor), but rather those it faithfully preserved. Watching an animated cyborg spouting Toshiro Mifune's famous "sneaky peasants" speech in particular was a low-water mark. It took everything that Kurosawa and Mifune had to make that speech work; did anyone really think that a cartoon robot could pull it off? Now comes Mizutaka Suhou's manga-ization of the Gonzo series. Happily, the manga hasn't a faithful bone in its body. Unhappily, that's all there is to be happy about.
Pretty much the only truly nice thing that can be said about the Samurai 7 manga is that it has a sense of humor. It isn't a very good sense of humor, and isn't always intentional, but it's more than the dreary-serious anime had. Most of it stems from Katsushiro, whose personality has been so revamped that he's hardly recognizable. Even the revelation of his "big secret" is accompanied by an amusing sight gag (the world's most embarrassing mug shot). Thanks to his bungling, Katsushiro almost comes across as likable. Those who had less humorous personality rewrites are far less fortunate: there was no reason to make Kikuchiyo a mysterious ancient cyborg warrior, Kirara's passivity carries her to brain-deadening heights of blandness, and the remainder of the cast might as well be sword-wielding mannequins for all the personality they muster.
Mizutaka may be no great talent when it comes to story-writing, but he's helped along by Kurosawa's skillful plotting (or what remains of it) and the simple but compelling premise. Some of his adjustments—particularly all of that heart-detecting pendant stupidity—are pretty lame, but, hindered by the lingering effects of Kurosawa's brilliance, he has to save the truly awful material for the art. Not that his art is ugly—though it is inconsistent and awkward, particularly where human joints and movement are concerned. His younger characters have a certain potato-faced charm, the older samurai manage a moderate level of sex appeal, and the background art (when it is drawn, which isn't often) is passable. However, Mizutaka is also saddled with visual instincts so laughably bad that they easily eclipse any technical skill he possesses. The action is stiff and flows poorly enough to make rereading a virtue, but it's the attempts at coolness that really gum up the works. To begin with, no action series should star a man who looks like Jesus (as Kanbei does—uncannily so). Cutting spaceships in half can be plenty cool, but not when Jesus is doing the slicing. "Once we destroy all the cannons in front, get off the ship and wait for my signal," says Jesus. "We'll sink this ship!" That isn't cool; that's hilarious. And even if you can take Action Jesus at face value, there's still Mizutaka's habit of pushing the visuals needlessly over-the-top to contend with. The final chapter features a "way of the samurai" speech by Jesu—er, Kanbei that concludes with him posing dramatically in front of a rising sun (complete with symmetrical WWII-era rays). Thank you Mizutaka, hit me over the head with that one again.
There's a reason Del Rey's manga cost a smidge more than your average comic. The book is solid, with good paper and nary a blurry line, and there are five pages of helpful cultural notes in the back. True, the front cover is boring and the back-of-the-book synopsis overripe, but nobody's perfect, and frankly, given the quality of the manga within, the lack of enthusiasm is understandable.
Overall : C-
Story : C
Art : C-
+ Humorous enough to make its blockheaded adjustments to the original a little more palatable.
− A remake of a remake of a film that did not need to be remade; not all (or even most) of the humor is intentional.

Our 60th Anniversary Newsletter
Dear Friends of Redwood Glen,
Redwood Glen is ready to step into the future, and I invite you to come along. There are two reasons why I make this invitation:
On Sat. Nov. 3, over 120 people gathered at Redwood Glen to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Camp and Conference center. 60 years of "Sharing the Light."
During the festivities, Andrew Gonsalves, Water Manager, and Chad Plantenberg, Director of the Water Production Team, led tours of the new water treatment facility showing people how the water would be treated with the membrane filters. This high tech unit comes complete with a visual touch sensitive monitor for easy access to and understanding of the controls. Hooked up wirelessly, Andrew will be able to control the unit with his tablet from anywhere there is wireless internet access. He will be able to send and receive reports and receiving warnings should there be any problems.
In honor of the 60 years of the Redwood Glen and the dedication of the Water Treatment Facility a fountain was constructed next to the treatment building (shown at right). The fountain is a simple piece of wood holding a water spout with water flowing into a half barrel. The wood and spout come from the original wood tank at Indian Point, part of the original water system when Redwood Glen was first founded.
Just before dinner we dedicated the new water treatment facility. Speakers included myself, Chad, and our project engineer from SRT, Lisa Pezzino. She explained how rare it is in the State of California that a new water system is built for surface water. Lisa has been on this project for over three years and she is excited to see this come to completion.
When it came time to cut the ribbon, you knew it had to be different for us at Redwood Glen. Instead of a ribbon cutting, we had a pipe cutting. The scissors (… I mean, the saw) was brought out by Wyman Chin, who was the first water project coordinator four and a half years ago. He handed the saw to Lara Egbeola-Martial, another engineer at SRT who has worked on this project. She handed the saw to Lisa, who then passed it on to Ronald
Gonsalves, Redwood Glen's Maintenance manager and the building coordinator. He gave the saw to Chad, who handed it to Andrew. Andrew cut the pipe in two with water pouring out from both ends of the pipe.
Jay Nordgaard, former Executive Director of Redwood Glen, gave closing words and the benediction for the ceremony.
Many dear friends and supporters of Redwood Glen then enjoyed the dedication and dinner together including Doug Siden, Director of Camping Ministries for the American Baptist Churches of the West for close to 30 years and one of the founding pastors of Redwood Glen; and former Camp Managers Ray Miller, Jay Nordgaard and Mike Socia. It was indeed a fun day.
Redwood Glen's Water Challenges
Can you believe that our water problems started over four and a half years ago? Seems like it has been going on forever. But when the water was turned off, three different challenges immediately came to the forefront to face us here at Redwood Glen.
Challenge #1 was to find an immediate source of water to keep Redwood Glen operating and serving our campers and our guests. We've had three different water hauling companies to deliver water paying anywhere from 15 to 25 cents per gallon. With our water tanks at the top of the hill, we had to add some tanks down near the pump house as the water trucks could not make it to the upper tanks.
Challenge #2 was to find a solution to providing water permanently. SRT engineers were hired and they developed a Community Water System that could serve Redwood Glen for the next 60 years. Wells were drilled that produced a minimum of water . . . not enough to sustain operations. It was decided to go back to how we obtained water back at the beginning, water from Hoffman and Piney Creeks. After three and a half years of working with SRT, the County of San Mateo and the California State Water Resources Control Board, the treatment facility is complete and ready to run.
We are happy to say that these two challenges are looking at a completion date. On Wed., Nov. 28, representatives from the State Water Resources Control Board will come to Redwood Glen and observe the water system in full operation. We are getting prepared for that visit and expect the outcome to be a "Certificate to Operate". Challenges 1 and 2 are about to be completed.
Challenge #3 has, in one sense, been the most difficult. That challenge has been, and continues to be, payin g for it all. The bill for the first two challenges so far has exceeded $1.3 million. The good news is that in the past four years we have received two thirds that in gifts and donations. You have been very generous.
But it has not all been paid for. Our immediate need is to raise $200,000 to get us through the winter months where our costs normally exceeds our income. If you were at our 60th Anniversary Celebration, thank you for a fulfilling start to reaching this goal as we received almost 15% in gifts and pledges. If you were not there, you have the opportunity to help Redwood Glen make that step into the future.
I would ask you to consider becoming a financial partner with us at Redwood Glen by making a three-year pledge. For instance, an annual pledge of $1,000.00 or $83.00 per month would help us reach our funding goal. This type of commitment is the backbone of our ministry. Whatever level you might choose would take us a step closer to meeting our funding goals. Or you may choose to send a cash gift which would be helpful as well.
Enclosed is a booklet telling about Redwood Glen, with a card and envelope for you to make your year end gift or pledge.
Let me close with a quote from Samantha Balderas, a college student who has been a camper at Redwood Glen and is now a counselor during our summer camps. She, spoke at the 60th Anniversary Celebration and pretty much summed up what Redwood Glen is all about.
"When I was younger and a camper at CMAD (Children's Music And Drama Camp) I learned from my dad (who was the speaker that week). Now that I'm a counselor, I want to make sure that I talk to them (my campers) too. So the thing that I think is the most important about Redwood Glen is that it passes things forward. It's a boat that never ends. It keeps going and going and going. Someone started this place and 60 years later we're all standing here having dinner together with someone who helped start it at the very beginning."
What impressed me the most about the celebration last week was seeing not just Samantha, but many other young adults there who, in past years, were campers, and are now in leadership positions, not just at camp, but at their church as well. In fact, Samantha's dad, Danny, is also a former Redwood Glen camper who attended as a 5th grader back in the 1970's. A Barna poll taken last year among pastors states that 60% of pastors attended camp as a child and 40% felt a call to the ministry while at camp. That is an important statistic.
Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to read through this packet. I hope you understand how important Redwood Glen is for our young people. More than ever, today they need Redwood Glen. And today Redwood Glen needs you.

The program in speech, language and hearing sciences (SLHS) introduces concepts basic to human communication and provides opportunities for students to acquire an understanding of normal and disordered speech, language and hearing processes. The curriculum provides a strong academic foundation for students interested in a wide variety of careers related to the fields of disabilities and education. Additionally, it provides the appropriate background for students interested in continuing onto graduate school in speech pathology, audiology and/or special education.
SLHS students are qualified to become audiology assistants, speechlanguage pathology assistants, hearing specialists, service coordinators for those with a disability, teachers of English as a second language, early childhood specialists, literacy specialists, sign language interpreters, social workers and school psychologists.
The undergraduate major in speech, language and hearing sciences (SLHS) includes course work in three general areas: 1) characteristics, causes and treatment of disorders that impact speech, language and/or hearing (e.g., stuttering, head injury, deafness, autism, learning disabilities, etc.); 2) the science behind human communication (e.g., the anatomy and physiology of the speech and hearing mechanisms, acoustics of sound, etc.); and 3) linguistics, specifically the normal development of language in children, phonetic transcription and the various component parts of language.
The program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. In addition to learning in the classroom about normal and disordered communication, students observe graduate students and professionals engaged in clinical work with individuals exhibiting speech, language, learning and hearing problems. Internships are optional but encouraged throughout a student's program.
The PhD program in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at the University of Colorado offers an exciting interdisciplinary research and learning environment that focuses on understanding the basic processes of and mechanisms underlying human speech, language and hearing.The program prepares students for research or clinical work in a broad range of areas, including both theoretical and clinical perspectives. These may include speech perception, sign language development, neurogenic disorders, neurosciences, motor speech development, speech pathology and stuttering, as well as many other areas. Students play a large role in designing their own programs. Because the science of human communication is interdisciplinary by nature, students from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines related to human communication pursue their doctoral degrees at CUBoulder. Students take course work in other departments as well, such as neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive psychology and education.
The AuD is the entry level degree in clinical audiology and emphasizes both clinical competency development and evidencebased practice. Students in the AuD program complete a four-year curriculum that includes academic course work, clinical practicum and a capstone project. Students take advanced seminars in hearing science, clinical audiology and research methods as well as complete a capstone project. Students have the opportunity to pursue clinical research in both laboratory and clinical settings, with faculty in a wide range of areas, including electrophysiology, psychological acoustics, physiological acoustics, advanced amplification, speech perception in noise, assistive technologies, cochlear implants, vestibular assessment techniques and aural habilitation and rehabilitation of individuals with hearing loss. Students undertake clinical practica to develop competency across the scope of practice consistent with national clinical certification and/or licensure in audiology. Students have the opportunity to complete clinical rotations in several different settings, including full use of laboratories and suites at CU Boulder. Rotations include University Hospital in Denver, the outpatient Boulder clinic, Children's Hospital in Denver, local school districts and other clinical settings throughout the metro Boulder and Denver area. Many students complete fourth year externships in Denver hospitals as well as national settings.
The Speech, Language and Hearing Center at the University of Colorado Boulder serves as a laboratory for student training. The center also provides specialized services to the community, including speech and language evaluation and therapy. The center, offices, research labs and classrooms for the department occupy a large threestory building housing videomonitored therapy rooms with observation booths; a child learning center featuring dual remotecontrolled color video cameras; a full outdoor playground; and complete audiological and speech science facilities. In addition, faculty and graduate students use the facilities of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Aurora. Many other nonuniversity facilities also provide clinical practicum settings for graduate students.
