Is Bill Belichick Leaving The Patriots? [VIDEO]
Darren McCollester
There is no shortage of "Tin Foil Hat" conspiracy theories that come out of my office but this one might be my all-time favorite because I've convinced myself it's true.
What if Bill Belichick the architect of The New England Patriots dynasty was plotting his exit from Foxboro and planned on leaving the team with no chance of competing when he's gone?
The theory all begins with a rift between Belichick and owner Robert Kraft caused by Belichick wanted to move forward with Jimmy Garoppolo as his Quarterback. Kraft shoots the idea down and Jimmy G is now a star in San Francisco. Belichick feels slighted and begins to clean house before he leaves himself. Both OC Josh McDaniels and DC Matt Patricia are expected to take Head Coaching jobs elsewhere. So if Belichick leaves there's no back up to 41-year-old Tom Brady and no heir apparent to take over as Head Coach. We call the theory "CODE SNAPFACE!"

SECEMU has been active in bat research and conservation in Spain since 1989 but has recently opened up to accept members from Portugal and Gibraltar with the intention of creating a pan-Iberian association. In this light, we held our last biennial conference in Vairão, Portugal in 2016 which attracted almost 100 delegates from Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar with a common goal: an interest in bats and the unique characteristics of the Iberian populations. These included researchers, ecologists, conservationists, managers and students not only from Iberia but also from across Europe and North Africa. This last conference was the first SECEMU event to have been held outside Spain in an Iberian context and we are delighted to announce that Gibraltar has been chosen as the host city for this year's conference.
This year's conference is being organised by the Gibraltar National Museum and will be held on the 7th & 8th December 2018 at the University of Gibraltar. We hope that the 7th Conference in Gibraltar will be a great forum for communication and learning for all involved and that it will continue to open doors for collaboration on bat research and conservation projects within and between Iberian countries and beyond.

Q: UIStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: Can we call this in background thread? I'm trying to call instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier of storyboard in background thread. But I'm presenting it on main thread.
Is there good way to do so? Please give me your suggestions.
My code is something like this.
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
 UIStoryboard *storyBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"some" bundle:nil];
  UIViewController *viewController = [storyBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"some"];
   dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
   });
});

A: Its a bad idea to do anything to the UI on a background thread. If you're on a background thread and want to do some work on the main thread, I'd recommend Grand Central Dispatch (GCD):
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),{
    let vc = myStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("your-id-here")
    self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
})

Empowering Universities
UPP REIT Holdings Limited Full Year Report 2018
University Partnerships Programme
‹ Our News › Report identifies a crisis in adult education as a major threat to the UK economy
Report identifies a crisis in adult education as a major threat to the UK economy
Over 111,000 fewer students (aged 25 and over) in higher education than there were in 2012
42% decline in the number of students (aged 30 and over) on non-degree HE courses since 2012
The Government and universities must act now to reverse the catastrophic decline in adult education – or the future wellbeing and prosperity of the UK will be at risk, according to a report published today.
The progress report released by the 'Civic University Commission' and created by leading Higher Education (HE) charity the UPP Foundation – the registered charity founded by University Partnerships Programme (UPP) – calls for the HE sector and Government to urgently address the decline in adult education.
It argues the large fall in adult student numbers represents a material threat to the UK economy – at a time when many workers are facing the loss of jobs through increased automation and the adoption of new technologies such as AI – requiring people to restudy and retrain to remain part of the fast-evolving labour market.
The threat is heightened by the potential impact of Brexit and the likely reduction in economic migration – meaning the need for a strong, well-educated and well-trained domestic workforce will be greater than ever.
To reverse the drastic decline in adult student numbers, the Commission is calling on universities to deliver more flexible routes back into HE for adults and a change in Government policy and funding.
Chaired by Lord Kerslake, the former Head of the Civil Service, and including eminent figures from the world of HE, business and civil society, the Commission is a major, nationwide and independent inquiry into how universities should serve their civic role in the 21st century.
Lord Kerslake, Chair of the UPP Foundation's Civic University Commission, said: "Once the mainstay – even the defining purpose – of the civic university, adult education been absolutely devastated over the last 20 years.
"Yet, as we move in to the fourth Industrial Age, AI and automation are likely to transform the workplace. Combined with the impact of Brexit on UK employers' ability to recruit people with the skills our economy needs, the importance of continuous learning and developing new skills seems greater than ever.
"It is imperative for universities and Government to make this issue a priority. As a nation we can and must do better."
Throughout evidence hearings, the Commission has identified some outstanding successes, but also some key areas where the civic role of universities is not being delivered to its full potential. This was most apparent in the devastating decline in adult education – the founding mission for many of our great universities.
The Commission's report refers to data issued by the Higher Education Statistics Authority (HESA) which found that, since 2012, there has been a decline of 42% in the number of students over 30 in non-degree HE courses, and a 16% fall in the number of students over 30 studying first-degree courses.
The Commission argues the situation is the result of reforms to HE funding under successive governments while universities, which proudly extol their autonomy, in reality simply conform to national policies.
The Commission found that, in comparison to competitor economies, the UK is lagging far behind.
Evidence includes:
The proportion of over 25s enrolled in tertiary education is one of the lowest in the OECD at 1.8%. Twelve OECD countries had more than 3% of their population enrolled in tertiary education in 2015.
During the 2000s, 22 OECD countries saw an increase in the number of over 25s enrolled in tertiary education greater than in the UK. In Australia the number of students in tertiary education over 25 years old increased by 38%, in Belgium the number increased by 50% and in Ireland the number increased by 96%.
The Commission found that while there is a strong civic commitment and activity taking place in universities across the UK, there are few examples of a university with an explicit strategy for civic engagement based on a clear analysis of a city or region's needs.
It discovered that examples of shared learning across universities – even in the same city – are fewer.
The progress report highlights the need for universities to firmly establish their civic role alongside teaching and research as a core focus of their strategy – especially in parts of the country which have experienced significant economic decline and borne the brunt of public spending cuts.
Finally, the Commission urges the Government to recognise the importance of the civic role of universities and the risks to HE if university funding is cut.
Richard Brabner, Director of the UPP Foundation, said: "The founding principle for the first civic universities was to provide education to adults, delivered part-time and in the evening.
"However, today, adult education is in significant decline – precisely at a time when the labour market is rapidly evolving, and the benefits for adults are proven, for example in terms of improvements in health, wellbeing and general prosperity.
"The HE sector must re-establish its civic purpose, particularly when it comes to adult education – and the time to start is now."
The Commission's recommendations are independent and wholly decided by its Commissioners.
Key recommendations of the Commission's progress report
1. Universities
Regardless of national incentives, universities – as part of their charitable mission and civic responsibility – must prioritise adult education. In particular:
Provide more flexible learning routes for mature learners (evenings, weekends, modular)
Incentivise and reward of staff who engage in this activity;
Organise and resource the university in a way that makes shorter courses more suitable to adults possible and desirable.
2. Government policy
However, it is also clear that changes to government policy are required to enable a more supportive environment for adult education to thrive. The Commission recommends the following policy proposals and innovations:
Supportive funding environment for adult learners
Relaxing the ELQ rule so that graduates are able to do further learning;
Removing the 25% intensity rule so that both short courses, and longer-term learning, is eligible for loans and funding
Allowing education that is not deliberately directed towards a qualification (such as a degree).
Reform of the Apprenticeship levy
Hypothecating some proportion of the apprenticeship levy for courses that are shorter and more modular;
Having an additional, smaller levy for this particular purpose.
3. Pilots programmes
In the first instance the government should test out these changes by funding a series of pilots in different parts of the country. The National Retraining Scheme or similar should provide the capacity funds for the delivery of adult education, with joint bids between local authorities, LEPs, FE and HE a requirement
University: Birkbeck
"As a young person I was very interested in education, but I didn't get the opportunity to pursue what interested me any further after I left school. I'm a teacher by profession, but that was not what I wanted to do. Having come back to studying after so many years, I feel like a longing desire in me is finally being fulfilled. My experience has been very interesting. When I started, I had very little confidence – I had been out of education for a long time and felt as if it was too late for me! But with the progress I have made and the encouragement that I am receiving, being on this course has boosted my confidence."
"All my life, my aspiration has been to further my studies and until recently I didn't get that opportunity. But now, thanks to Birbeck, I have a new sense of purpose. I feel so proud!"
"I chose Birkbeck because they gave me the opportunity to reintroduce myself to studying at a higher level, through the HEIS programme and secondly because the evening classes are very good for me."
"Don't say, 'It's too late to learn', because it's never too late! Especially with Birbeck. This University is giving people the opportunity to rediscover themselves and I am one of them. There is no harm in trying. I recommend it to everybody!"
"The extra support [through Bridges to Birkbeck] has been so good; giving us the necessary skills we need to succeed in our studies – how to structure work, even how to read in the right way so we can do research properly."
University: University of Lincoln
Name: Chris Brooks
Chris Brooks is an adult learner studying on a Higher Apprenticeship in Food Science and Technology at the University of Lincoln's National Centre for Food Manufacturing (NFCFM). Chris trained as a development chef but recognised that there would be more opportunities for him to progress his career in the business if he had the knowledge of food science and technology. He works for OAL who supply equipment and technology to the Food Manufacturing sector. He has come back to studying at the age of 50 (he is around that age).
Chris Brooks, Product Development Chef at OAL said: "I had previously trained as a chef when I was in the Army. Once I came out of the military, as my career progressed, I began working much more on product development and started to explore roles that were more to do with processes and the technical side of food. I secured a role at OAL which led to the opportunity to take on a Higher Apprenticeship in Food Science and Technology with the National Centre for Food Manufacturing."
"My background as a chef meant that I understood food in terms of combining different flavours and the different cooking processes, but I've now got a much more in depth knowledge of how the chemistry behind it works like how the different molecules interact with each other and the physical composition of food which has given me a much stronger understanding of the technical side."

The spring is far from here yet, but the sun has peeked its shiny head more often…and we cannot wait. The other morning birds woke me up! Birds! And by the number of them hiding in the hollows of our crab apple outside the homeschool room, we might have a whole chorus once the spring is properly here. For now, we are still counting down the days.
Last week I was inspired by the light and the angles of sunny and scout and I was so moved by the images of sage and her mom.
now i understand why your children are so beautiful, they've a handsome dad!
I think we all must be praying for spring! cute photos!

Planet Vegeta was a giant blue-green planet in the North Area. It's similar to earth in appearance, with favorable natural conditions.
This giant planet was home to Saiyan Race, who called themselves the "Warrior Race."
Today, however, the mighty Planet Vegeta had come to its end.
In the palace of Planet Vegeta, the atmosphere was overwhelmingly depressing. The King of the Saiyan Race sat at the throne's head, gazing down at the people below with a deep expression.
Just a moment ago, the headquarters had received urgent information from the frontline people that Frieza was leading his army towards Planet Vegeta. Frieza was so exuberant and menacing that their purpose had been revealed.
"The situation is already known to everyone. Frieza's army will soon arrive at Planet Vegeta, and there's absolutely nothing good that can come from them coming in such a big way."
"Tell me, what should we do?"
At this time, none of the Saiyan Warriors standing in the palace were the elite of the race.
They all knew the purpose of Frieza. As he had ascended to the North Area stage in recent years, Frieza's sphere of influence was expanding.
Now… had targeted the power of the Saiyan Race.
As soon as the Saiyan King's voice fell, the clansmen's voices below rang out, communicating with each other.
The Saiyans Race were free mercenaries in the universe, taking on missions issued by the major powers.
They loved fighting and enjoyed the fun of it, so this job was as if it was tailor-made for them.
Of course, to understand it from another perspective, Saiyans' reason for choosing a free mercenary profession was not simply out of the fun.
A race would never put the fate of an entire race on the line just because of fun, no matter what.
The High-Level of the Saiyans only took into account the clansmen's preferences in several optional development directions.
"King, no matter what they have in mind, Saiyans' dignity is not to be violated. If they dare to force us, the worst that can happen is a bloodbath." A Saiyan in battle-armor said with a fierce expression.
"That's right. Let's go to war!"
Another large male Saiyan said, "Show that bastard, Frieza, what we're made of!"
"Stupid. Frieza's strength is far greater than ours. Fighting with them will only lead us to our destruction." Someone quickly retorted.
Although they were also unwilling to surrender to Frieza, the opponent was stronger than them. They couldn't let the Saiyans Race perish.
"Galreg, what do you mean? Do you want to give up the glory of the Saiyans?"
For many years, Saiyans had been active in the North Area yet had never succumbed to a single power.
Galreg turned blood red and retorted loudly, "It's not about dignity; it's about perpetuating our Saiyans' existence."
"Frieza's power is evident to everyone. Our race is already small; we cannot make unnecessary sacrifices."
"Doesn't Frieza want us to serve them? As a fighting race, Saiyans are born to fight, so it's the same for us to become fighters under Frieza's command or free mercenaries in the universe. Of course, we are not subservient to Frieza either; we are just looking for the right time to do so…"
"That's argumentative!!!"
The Wudou faction roared with a cold face.
"How strong is Frieza has never been explored. His so-called strength is only based on rumors among various civilizations. How can Saiyans be frightened by district rumors? We can simply transform into giant apes. If we don't even dare to fight, we're cowards!" The burly man, who was the main warrior, shouted angrily.
Looking at the noisy clansmen below, the face of the Saiyan King sitting on the throne darkened. The cold air was released to subdue the Saiyan warriors below.
"Alright, all be quiet. Frieza's exact purpose is still unclear. Prepare both hands in case of insufficient intelligence."
Saiyan King looked at everyone with a frosty face.
"Galreg, you come with me to meet Frieza. Also, prepare the greatest scouter. If Frieza's strength is within our resistance, we'll kill him at all costs." With piercing coldness flashing in his eyes, Saiyan King's voice was cold. "If he is too powerful, we will have no choice but to tolerate the humiliation and wait for the right moment."
"King, we cannot afford to lose the dignity of the Saiyans!" The Wudou faction shouted unyieldingly.
King Saiyan stood up and said, "Hey, Bekuk, I understand what you mean. So, I have a task for you."
"You will lead some of your people and get them ready for battle. However, suppose the situation is untenable, and Frieza is mighty enough to be invincible. In that case, I want you to abandon that recklessness and hunker down quietly."
"King… I can't do that!" Bekuk opened his eyes wide, his face filled with resignation.
The Saiyan King waved his hand and interrupted him.
"What Galreg said before was very reasonable. We Saiyans are warriors race, but we can't ignore the situation. Being reckless will end the future of our race."
"I know that many of you will be unhappy with this decision, so I will allow you to leave Planet Vegeta with some of your people when the time comes. However, it would help if you remembered that once you leave Planet Vegeta, it means that you will be on your own. You will have nothing to do with Planet Vegeta in the future, and we will not give you any help."
The Saiyan King's message was clear: Frieza's arrival was a catastrophe for the Saiyan Race.
If Frieza were not strong, of course, it would be best if everyone joined forces to kill Frieza.
However, if Frieza were invincible, he, as the leader, would choose to submit to Frieza and wait for an opportunity to turn the tables.
Also, he allowed Bekuk to leave Planet Vegeta with a portion of his people, as a rebel from his control, but this would be dangerous and would be directly pursued by Frieza.
The Saiyans Race's population was already small. They couldn't be desperate for a hard fight, so precisely what to do would depend on the situation at the time.
"King, I understand."
Bekuk wasn't a fool and could understand Saiyan King's determination. So, he clenched his fists and nodded vigorously.
"That's it. We're ready for Frieza."
Everyone left the palace. Saiyan King walked behind and patted Bekuk's shoulder vigorously.
The universe.
More than twenty disc spaceships were stationed outside of Planet Vegeta. Through the portholes, the beautiful planet with its blue-green glow could be seen. The beautiful color was like a jewel, and it was intoxicating.
"Ho, ho, ho Mr. Dodoria, Mr. Zarbon, get everyone ready. If those wild monkeys are stubborn, destroy them all without missing a beat."
Frieza floated in front of the porthole with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, and he looked laid-back.
"As ordered."
"Rest assured, King Frieza."
Zarbon and Dodoria stood behind Frieza respectfully, giving a slight salute.
Frieza looked again at the five people of the Ginyu Force on the side seat above and said coldly, "Captain Ginyu, those elite Warrior among the Saiyans will be a problem for you."
Captain Ginyu was filled with evil intent, "Everything will be as King Frieza wishes."
"Ho ho ho, that would be best."
Frieza chuckled softly. He floated to the top seat of the ship, pouring himself a glass of red wine and taking a small sip, "Father, enjoy my performance in a moment."
King Cold sat as if he were a spectator and held his glass up for a moment, "Frieza, this is your sphere of influence. Everything will be as you wish."
"I won't let you down, father."
Frieza laughed, his eyes filled with a cold light.


The Sports and Society Initiative, in partnership with the Buckeye Equality Group hosted "Equality in Athletics" for a night of conversation, education and support. Over 100 attendees, including Ohio State University students, faculty, staff, and members of the Columbus community, came out for a night that included special guest Harrison Browne as its keynote speaker.
Following Gene Smith's opening remarks, Browne took the stage for his keynote address. A Canadian hockey player, Harrison is the first transgender athlete in professional sports. Assigned female at birth, Browne has lived publicly as a man since 2016 after many years of struggling to figure out what made him feel off in his everyday life.
Browne played for the Buffalo Beauts and the Metropolitan Riveters of the National Women's Hockey League, living publicly as a man during his playing days but did not start the hormonal transition due to the process violating anti-doping rules. Upon his retirement on April 30, 2018 Browne began the transition process.
Marshall Troxell from Equality Ohio. Senior Associate.
AD Shaun Richard moderated the panel.
Nicole Kraft, director of the Sports and Society Initiative and an assistant professor in communication, said SSI's goal is to shine a light on many of the significant areas where sport and society intersect with one another, especially equality.
"There's no area more deserving of attention than the equality that we must have in sports," Kraft said. "We were honored to be able to amplify the message that's already been started by the athletics department.
The panel tackled questions covering a multitude of issues faced by LGBTQ community members in the world of athletics, including questions about how accepting the Ohio State community is of LGBTQ athletes.
The Sports and Society Initiative on Oct. 4 hosted "Equality in Athletics," a discussion on LGBTQ issues and their intersection with athletics.
On April 14-16 the NCAA hosted the seventh annual NCAA Inclusion Forum where hundreds of leaders from administrators, to student-athletes, came together in Indianapolis to share ideas and discuss what has been done so far to foster diversity across intercollegiate athletics, and what can be done to keep that momentum going. Kim Doran, a member of the Buckeye Equality Committee comprised of coaches, administrators and athletics staff members, made the pilgrimage to Indianapolis to share what we've done/planning to do at the Ohio State University. In addition learning from what other schools are doing that could help boost the student-athlete experience here in Columbus.
The Buckeye Equality Committee has made a point of letting the student-athletes know that they're being heard when they bring up issues, and the Inclusion Forum has helped the attendees learn how to address these issues when they're brought up. "Going to the forum allowed me to hear what other institutions are doing and the programs they're utilizing. Speaking to counterparts at other schools and discussing how they got a program up and running is a huge resource, and the forum allows all of us to do that comfortably," Doran continued.
On Wednesday night, Ohio State Athletics kicked off its first event of its equality program with a Q&A panel for all student athletes, coaches, and administration to learn about resources available to student athletes. The panel was hosted two hours prior of tipoff of the women's basketball game vs. Penn State. As the players on the court sported 'equality' t-shirts, other athletes from across many different teams learned what the word equality meant for them.
On the panel, three guest speakers shared the spotlight to answer questions, share stories, and inform students of different resources available. The panel was comprised of, Karen Alsbrooks, executive director of organizational development at Ohio State and former student-athlete, Gretchen Metzelaars, senior associate vice president of student life, and Alana Jochum, attorney and executive director of Equality Ohio.

Today was the final memory day and took place at Larchwood Care home, Coldean, Brighton. We had a smaller group of students today as we knew it was likely we might only have a few participants and our approach might need more sensitivity as potentially we were meeting the eldest of our older participants.
We met with the resident student occupational therapists whose role it was to visit the residents of the care home and invite them to participate. They were also able inform us about anything we might need to know about the participants and in some cases they would support the students in the interviews if they thought it was necessary.
Over the day we heard many lovely memories including stories about Brighton's first ever youth club, what went on in the love seats of the Regent Cinema, learning to dance at The Court school of dancing and tales of borrowing £5 to get married.


We all know that exercise is great for overall fitness and emotional wellbeing. But it also plays a crucial role in keeping your digestive system running smoothly.
Keeping active relieves stress and helps maintain a healthy weight – two things that can affect digestion. It also helps relieve digestive complaints, such as constipation and bloating, and allows your body to absorb nutrients more effectively.
However, exercise can affect the digestive system in various ways, both positive and negative. In addition, different types of exercise have different effects on the digestive system.
Exercise such as running can cause digestive disorders. Disorders such as nausea and diarrhea are common in women runners who train hard. Acute gastris and gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms are also common in runners.
According to James and Phyllis Balch, in "Prescription for Nutritional Healing," regular exercise improves digestion and elimination. According to the BBC exercise slows down the digestion system in order to conserve energy for the muscles. The Gastroenterological Society of Australia says cardiovascular exercise strengthens the muscles of the abdomen and stimulates the intestinal muscles to move contents through the digestive system.
Over time, regular exercise can strengthen your digestive tract. If you're fit, the amount of blood diverted from your digestive system decreases because the need is less urgent. Your muscles are more efficient when you're in shape.
Give your body the proper time to digest before exercising. If you eat a meal heavy in proteins and fats, you may need two or three hours for digestion. Your blood sugar rises to help you digest. Wait for it to drop back to normal, so you can devote all your energy to your workout.
A large meal, especially if it contains a lot of fat, can delay your digestion, which in turn should delay your exercise time. On the other hand, not eating anything before a workout will leave you feeling tired and weak. Unless it's the day before a marathon, eat a balanced meal and give yourself time to digest before you exercise.
In addition, keep hydrated while you exercise. Dehydration is one of the leading causes of exercise-related problems.
A regular exercise regime — along with a positive mental outlook and a healthy diet — are the building blocks of a healthy lifestyle!

Many years ago, after a visit to the Baqa'a Refugee Camp in Jordan, it was a real eye-opener to the fact that there are families who suffer incredibly in the winter as their roofs leak and lets in cold air, causing sickness as a result. What so many of us take for granted, having a roof over your head, is a blessing many does not share. This lies at the heart of Frmtoo, our mission to fix roofs.
Despite Jordan being a relatively hot country, rain and cold temperatures is very common in the winter. For a period of about 4 months of the year, many families struggle with flooding, cold winds, humidity and leaking roofs.
We want to try and make a difference, installing zinc roofs that serves the purpose of keeping rain out. Below are examples of families we would like to help. While we can extend cash contributions to these families, we feel that helping them install a new roof, as opposed to giving outright cash, not only ensures that donations are properly spent, but it is also charity wrapped with dignity.
Stories of roofs we want to fix.
Um Wissam is an older lady with a husband (88 years) who who is no longer working. They (Beit Abu Riziq) have four children in the ages of 24 to 35 years. One son is in prison and the family has very limited income at the moment. The roof of their house has large gaps, particularly in the kitchen area and the entire roof (about 100 square meters) needs to be replaced. While the whole house is in need of renovation, the roof is particularly bad and needs changing now. We want to help.
STATUS UPDATE: this story is in execution mode!
Um Ahmed's husband passed away three months ago (Q2 2018) and she was left alone to support three girls and a boy. The boy, who is the oldest is studying and working at a sweets factory (carrying and loading raw material) to try to make ends meet. The state of their roof is appalling, leaking when it rains, and during a day of sunshine, we could see through the wholes in the roof. The kitchen is appalling and with roof insulation material used including asbestos, the smell of dangerous chemicals is obvious. While the son is bringing in some money to support, renovating the house is not realistic for Um Ahmed. We want to change that roof!
STATUS UPDATE: this story has been completed!
Um Abdo is a widower and mother of 5, having her daughter in law with three children living with them, in total 8 people in the house. The house is for them and they don't pay rent. With a living room, kitchen and basic toilet downstairs and a bedroom upstairs, the connecting area between these is completely open, exposed to weather and wind. Without work and very basic income from the social welfare, putting money towards anything other than bare necessities is out of the question. With no support from the rest of the family, we want to help.

No consent from communities? Too bad, says Trudeau.
"Sunny ways, my friends. Sunny ways!" For most people, that line in Justin Trudeau's victory speech two years ago heralded a return to "positive politics" after 10 years of Stephen Harper's icy glare.
It's also a reference to tricking someone into taking their clothes off.
As the Liberal Party website reminds us, Trudeau's "sunny ways" is a tribute to Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier (the guy on the five dollar bill). Laurier believed in disarming his opponents with charm and flattery. In 1895 he invoked one of Aesop's fables to illustrate his political philosophy.
Perhaps it's not surprising that Justin Trudeau would identify with a celestial sky-king, toying with us mortals on the earth below.
During his election campaign Trudeau promised ad nauseum that "governments grant permits, but only communities can give permission." He was talking, of course, about pipelines. But soon after winning power, his position shifted to "Father knows best".
One year ago today, Trudeau approved Kinder Morgan's pipeline and oil tanker proposal.
If completed, the project would drain 890,000 barrels of crude oil every day to refineries in California and Washington. Like a maritime Keystone XL, it represents a last-ditch liquidation attempt by oil sands operators looking to get as much raw bitumen out of the ground as possible before demand drops.
By signing on to this desperate scheme, Trudeau put the lie to his own election promises and ignored the explicit lack of consent from First Nations communities disproportionately affected by pipeline construction, oil spills and climate risk.
This week the women of the Secwepemcul'ecw Assembly vowed to shut down any "Man Camps" Kinder Morgan tries to build in their vast North Thompson territory. As the Secwepemc declaration notes, a growing body of research is finding links between remote work camps and violence against women.
Farther south is the Nlaka'pamux village of Coldwater, whose leaders were barred from hiring lawyers when the first pipeline came through in 1952. The government handed over a lump-sum payment of $1,200 and told them to sign. The people have lived with an oil pipeline hissing over their water aquifer ever since. They don't want to triple that risk.
Nor do the Tsleil-Waututh in Burrard Inlet, who have coaxed healthy, edible clams and other sea life to grow again in a waterway hurt for decades by industrial pollution. Or their neighbours the Squamish, who are reviving their language – a language born thousands of years ago from the very landscapes and ecosystems that would be obliterated by an oil tanker spill.
Days before Trudeau gave Kinder Morgan the green light, Tsleil-Waututh leaders flew to Ottawa to deliver, in person, their "informed withholding of consent". What they didn't know is the federal government was already setting up a website to announce the Kinder Morgan approval, before the leaders' plane even landed.
What kind of self-professed feminist decides that "no" really means "yes"? In Justin Trudeau's case, a Prime Minister who also fought to preserve discrimination against women in the Indian Act, and still refuses to provide equal health care or education funding for Indigenous children.
Some cloaks – like human rights – are too important for people to discard no matter what sunny charms are beaming down on them. Lucky for Trudeau, if his tousled hair and boyish stutter fail to change people's minds, he has all the power of the state to enforce his will.
With two years until the next election, Trudeau will have to decide how important this Texas pipeline is to him. Important enough to expropriate reserve lands to shove a pipeline through? Important enough to do as his oil minister suggested, and send in the army to quell resistance?
The only leverage progressive Canadians have is their vote.
Our ethically-challenged politicians are not going to stop this madness. It really is up to us.
In AB, unfortunately, Notley's climate-change spin has deceived most progressives. Given the right-wing alternative, most moderate voters will stick with the NDP regardless. Even though on the climate front Notley is likely to wreak more havoc than a Jason Kenney could ever hope to do.
"In fact, it is hard to see how a Premier Jason Kenney could out-perform Notley at cheerleading for fossil fuels and the tar sands — or at completely obfuscating the mortal threat of climate change.
It's easy to blame the politicians. It's harder to look in the mirror.
I hate Trudeau. He hates his children, as he is selling off their land.
I am quite disappointed by what happened with this pipeline ,one of the main reasons that I voted for him is because I thought that he would not allow the pipeline ,as I listened carefully to what he had to say ,I thought that he would protect the environment .
The problem that we are confronted with over and over again with what has increasingly become a bi-polar political system rather than our traditionally more balanced and centrist dynamic with a minimum of three parties maintaining checks on each other with coalitions and minority governments, is that "the lesser of two evils" is still part of a progression that does not lead to sunny pastures and still waters untouched by contamination.
It is impossible to tell with figures such as Notley , Trudeau, (and it is beginning to seem John Horgan) whether they meant all along to go back on their words and discard their expressed values, or if they are simply constrained by the shape of our bureaucratic, legislative, and contractual frameworks as they have been formed and reformed over the course of the Harper era, etc.
The specifics do not come easily but the general pattern is clear: The Harper government's inertia carries forward more than we would like to admit, and there are backing and contributing influences from both within and without of our provincial and federal governments that are both non-elected and with large financial resources.
If the voting Canadian public is going to have a chance at meaningful change through the exercise of our democratic voting system, it will be up to us to take up the reins that are part of the burden that an informed and engaged voting public should always have in hand, and actively begin to steer our politicians down the paths that they claim to wish to follow.
If they do not cooperate, then we must start examining the possibility of a "none of the above" to our traditional parties, and actively encouraging independent candidates and smaller party nominations well in advance of the applicable elections, while simultaneously pushing the concept that strategic voting is a dead end for real democracy and until the hurdles of implementing it in the 21st Century are surmounted coalition and minority governments are preferable to a majority of corruption and shortsightedness.
If going brought change, it would be illegal. Changing government simply means changing the guards.
Maybe because I'm old but I didn't expect anything different from Justin Trudeau than what we've got. Fortunately I have never had to consider "strategic voting". As for Trudeau, what a gift to the Neoliberal powers in the background when their champion Harper had fallen too far out of favor. Instead of Mr. Surly let's use Mr. Personality Salesman to forward pipeline infrastructure and increase the extractions of the fossil fuel companies while he makes a big vocal display about dealing with climate change. Does he even understand the real threat of global warming?
I see Trudeau as being appallingly egotistical. I read that he said about Indigenous people's rejection of Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline 'They just weren't approached in the right way'. I took this to mean that their objections were not based on the the value they placed on the land and their traditional way of life but were because the PR people sent to get their support weren't friendly enough but Trudeau would have won their support. That attitude is unfathomably insulting to the indigenous people who are mostly on the front lines of protecting BC from pipelines.
One more example, the TPP. When Obama visited Trudeau said of people who opposed the TPP that they weren't good Canadians, good Canadians are co-operative, which meant they blindly support whatever the government wants. I imagine that is what he thinks about Kinder Morgan and the Site C dam.
I think the wallet is more leverage than the vote. We need to stop supporting these industries indirectly by buying their crap. I am beginning to realize more and more that these people in charge are just plain evil. Grassroot initiatives, the people need to rise up and say enough is enough and stop giving government power. Their power is only an illusion, their wages are from our tax dollars. I think they forget they are public servants.
Trudeau just cares about supporting his friends (even if they are drug dealers or animal abusers) and just thinks that the rest of the population is a bunch of morons that deserve to be manipulated and taken advantage of.
In the last ten years, marijuana drug dealers have put tens of billions of dollars in their pockets. Trudeau's plan: to make sure that the criminals keep all their profits. Who needs to take money from drug dealers when you can steal it from the pockets of honest workers?
And remember how proud he was of being photographed wearing fur (he is a good friend of the people heading Canada Goose, a company that makes money out of abusing animals). Then he is hypocritical enough to say that he loves dogs (maybe he is too stupid to realize that coyote and wolves are basically the sam as dogs). He is a hypocrite of the worst kind, and he deserves to be voted out of office.
Yes. And many of us also believed him when he campaigned to get rid first past the post elections and make every vote count.
what the Conservatives said before the 2015 election about Trudeau, "he's just not ready" was dismissed by many as being malicious and untrue. over two years later, it's patently obvious that Justin Trudeau is "just not ready" to give Canadians the transparent, honest ethical government that he promised. whether he ever will be "ready" is doubtful.
The lack of integrity fostered by a winner take all FPTP electoral process and undue corporate influence on government has only 1 counter. Vote different. The big 3 parties have been co-opted. it is that simple. The national LibCon flip flop has simply seen the degradation of the Canadian regulatory scene to a rubber stamp for the corporate will with just enough exceptions to this that the public still thinks they have a say. I got a cheap bridge in the desert to sell ya! To a lesser extent we see the same in the NDP a la Notley pushing pipelines, Horgan approving Site C and even Mulcair trying to occupy the political centre in the last federal election. INTEGRITY. Is it any wonder that Canadians in general think all politicians are inveterate liars? Or that the fallacy that their vote actually counts for anything only if they vote for the winners, regardless of whether the winners act in the best interest of the public or not. It counts alright, it counts for the perpetuation of lies.We NEED better and you won't find it in the big 3!
– The liberals always campaign like the NDP and once elected, govern like the Conservatives. Enough said!
I did not vote for Trudeau – saw through him right from the start. Is there a party that will stop being part of the deep state controlled by oil. I fear there is not. We can only hope that we stall the construction for so long that KM gives up.
As the old saying goes, "be careful what you wish for". There can be little doubt that this was JT's cowardly strategy all along.
Kinder Morgan is Texas American but it's also is past Enron filth that pulled one of the largest ponzi schemes in America!
Richard Kinder was President and COO of Enron, do you want to do business with that creep! Bill Morgan was his university classmate and as at Enron as well! They skimp on work on their other pipelines they own, they are tightwads, so you want a company as cheap as Kinder Morgan running at pipeline through BC?

Should we celebrate the Menstrual Hygiene Day in India?
Photo: unwater.org
By Soma Mandal
With thousands of migrant women stranded across different parts of the country during the ongoing Covid-19 lockdown, and with rural inaccessibility to menstrual health infrastructure, it signals a worsening and depreciable state of women's health condition in the present time. While the Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28 marks the global celebration of augmenting safe hygiene practices for menstruant women, the period movement has hardly reached critical milestones in India.
All eyes were set on Arunachalam Muruganantham, whose initiative to revolutionalise low-cost period processing pads within the local capacity for rural and semi-rural places took on the dream to sanitize the stench around menstruation.
The recent shocking incident of sixty girls forced to strip down their modesty in Shree Sathyayanand Girls College hostel run by the Swaminarayan Marathwada Trust in Bhuj, Gujarat is a violation of women's right to privacy. From resorting to the periodical examination of their bodies in the college premise, and inside the hostel, there had been in place unreasonable imposition of rules for restricting free entry to temple and hostel-kitchen. Disciplinary mechanisms to ensure surveillance over students' bodily behaviour during the menstrual cycle and even the existence of a period room (yes, menstrual room for temporary deportation of students in the basement of the hostel building) are new additions to menstrual repression that have surfaced in the present time. These sixty girls who were punished and made to pull down their clothes to reveal the menstruating undergarments prove that menstrual distaste, sick psycho-sexual, and perverse practices are far from over. Secretly nourished by women and men, these practices represent misogynist cultures of behaviour, interaction and exclusion for women.
Krushnaswarup Das, the spiritual leader of the Swaminarayan Bhuj Mandir Sect, whose followers run the Bhuj hostel says, "If you eat food prepared by a menstruating woman even once then your next avatar will definitely be that of an ox … a menstruating woman who cooks food for her husband will certainly be born as a kutri (bitch)." Surprisingly, all these theological presuppositions are based on perverse speculations. The deep-seated violence towards women's biology manifest in these provocative statements invite no legal action from the State. Here, one is forced to ask: if spirituality is a transcendental philosophy without the physical involvement of the body, what is the rationale for gendering and situating spirituality within the epistemic boundaries of the menstruant body?
Recently, Rehana Fathima, one of the six non-Hindu social activists, who tried to bring down the period barricade surrounding the Sabarimala Temple in Kerala has been sacked by the telecom giant BSNL for her immodest and indecent public behaviour. Branding her behaviour of trying to enter the sanctum sanctorum as unwomanly and disgusting, she has been threatened with legal repercussion, "Your insult of Hindus won't be tolerated." Her forceful attempt to enter the temple premise to remove the religious dirt that has been imposed on women through ages made her pay a heavy price. Her intractable mistake was a demand for the right to protection of life and personal liberty for women under Article 21.
Representing one of the voices of Sabarimala movement, her call to defy taboos of tradition, not just took on the plight of women suffering menstrual backwardness but refused to heed the borders of religion. In doing so, she has reiterated that feminism has no religion. Otherwise the purpose of uniting and resisting against patriarchy despite differences would not have materialized by what we know as universal feminism today. This task of overcoming socio-cultural barriers to uplift women and represent the plight of fellow citizens have been the initiative of a few daring women who want to transform and transcend the generational hindrances created by systems of patriarchy.
Why then must we commemorate a Menstrual Hygiene Day without addressing the indiscriminate behaviour of the State and men towards women who come out on the streets asking for women's constitutional rights? Why should our loathing misogynist religious practices terminate and resist welfarist and progressive developments for fellow human beings? If our support cannot be extended for women protesting at the frontline of the feminist movement, as had been the case with Rehana Fathima, we need to ask pardon for all the hypocrisy we commemorate as feminism. The spirit of speaking up against religious patriarchy and systemic discrimination is crushed with impounding force. Her compulsory retirement from service declared by the BSNL and her ex-communication by the Kerala Muslim Jamaat provides ample evidence of how and why Menstrual Hygiene Day is a farce. Menstruation is one dilemma of semi-feminists and women, who have blatantly supported misogyny and patriarchy, admonished women and abdicated themselves of the responsibility that menstrual freedom requires. Instead of opening out towards a substantive, menstrual-empowered life, menstruation had been one common binding force for women and men to institutionalize oppression, discrimination and domination.
The structural intersection of religion and tradition (pratha) continues to emerge in the discreet practising of menstrual exclusion. Propositions and recourse to reorient it towards a process of democratic inclusion remain the biggest dilemma for women in seeking menstrual liberation. Even after the progressive verdict on the Sabrimala Temple case by the Supreme Court to lift the ban on menstruation in 2018, the ongoing review petitions indicate little has changed for the feminists on the ground.
Celebration of Menstrual Hygiene Day with pseudo-inclusive measures that act as a blanket cover for operating covert forms of religious patriarchy does more harm than good. Indeed, as we celebrate the day poorly without remembering and supporting women who fight for our rights, we must call out against injustices meted out to these women who are continuing their fight for our menstrual rights.

Man at center of French soul-searching on life support dies
by: ELAINE GANLEY, Associated Press
Posted: Jul 11, 2019 / 10:32 AM UTC / Updated: Jul 11, 2019 / 05:16 PM UTC
FILE – In this July 23, 2015 file photo, Viviane and Pierre Lambert, left, parents of Vincent Lambert, arrive at the Sebastopol hospital, in Reims, eastern France, where Vincent, was on artificial life support. In a vegetative state for 11 years, Vincent Lambert who was at the center of a bitter dispute that divided his family and French courts, and provoked national soul-searching over how to deal with terminally ill patients, has died. (AP Photo/Thibault Camus, File)
PARIS (AP) — A French man who was in a vegetative state for 11 years while his wife and parents disagreed over his continued medical care died Thursday, and a prosecutor quickly ordered an autopsy and an investigation.
Vincent Lambert, 42, died in a hospital east of Paris nine days after doctors stopped providing artificial feeding and hydration and following years of contrary court rulings over whether medical interventions should prolong his life.
A 2008 car crash left Lambert in a vegetative state, and he needed to receive nutrition to sustain him by artificial means. Lambert's parents, Pierre and Viviene, fought relentlessly to keep their son alive.
The traditionalist Catholic couple filed a legal complaint for attempted murder on July 4 to prevent actions that would lead to his death. Their lawyers had said a homicide complaint would be filed when he died.
Lambert's treatment was suspended after France's highest court overturned a Paris court's decision to resume the artificial feeding so a United Nations committee on the rights of people with disabilities could examine the case
Lambert's wife, Rachel, had argued he should be allowed to die and supported withholding artificial nutrition. A nephew who emerged as the spokesman for the side of the family with that view, Francois Lambert, expressed relief Thursday, saying "it's the rational that takes over."
"We've been ready for years," he said.
The prosecutor of Reims, where Lambert was treated, said he opened an investigation into the causes of Lambert's death Thursday. Prosecutor Mathieu Bourrette said an autopsy on the body would be conducted Friday at the Medical-Legal Institute in Paris.
Bourrette said he opened the probe "after years of judicial proceedings and open conflict between members of the family of Vincent Lambert."
"In my eyes, it is indispensable," he said, and "the most objective, impartial and independent way" to provide the exact cause of death to family members, medical personnel and "in memory of Vincent Lambert himself,"
Getting ahead of legal snarls, he said the autopsy, including toxicology tests, now would avoid a later need to remove the buried body if needed for a murder investigation. Results could take weeks or months, he said.
The case has drawn attention around Europe.
The Vatican quickly reacted, saying it "learned with sorrow of the death of Vincent Lambert."
A statement expressed "our closeness" to "all those who assisted him with love and devotion." Coming down on the side of those who tried to keep Lambert alive, the statement quoted Pope Francis speaking in the past about the case and saying that "we have the duty to always protect (life)" and "not cede to throwaway culture."
In May, two top Vatican officials, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, in charge of Catholic laity, and the Vatican's top bioethics official, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, issued a statement saying that providing food and water to the sick is an "inescapable duty" and "suspending such care represents a form of abandonment."
Doctors resumed and cut off feedings several times based on rulings in various courts, which examined the case at the behest of Lambert's parents.
Legal battles began in 2013. In the latest twist on June 28, France's highest court gave doctors permission to restart procedures introduced in May to stop feeding and hydrating Lambert.
The Court of Cassation quashed a previous decision by a Paris court to resume life support after the parents appealed to the U.N. Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The high court ruled that the Paris court ordering life support to be resumed wasn't competent in the case.
Unbeknownst to him, the man lying in a hospital bed became central to the debate leading up to France's 2016 law on terminally ill patients. The law allows doctors to stop life-sustaining treatments, including artificial hydration and nutrition, and to keep the person sedated until death. It stops short, however, of legalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide.
The European Court of Human Rights and the Council of State, France's top administrative body, had upheld the doctors' earlier decision to stop Lambert's life support, with the court finding the move didn't violate Lambert's rights.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two Ohio counties are asking a judge to find that drugmakers and distributors were not allowed to ship suspicious orders of controlled substances to pharmacies.
If a judge sides with the request from Cuyahoga and Summit counties, it would clear the way for their governments to assert that drug companies ignored the regulations as a nationwide opioid crisis continued to grow.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — President Donald Trump can tell Rep. Ilhan Omar to "go back" to Somalia all he wants. All indications suggest she's not going anywhere.
Safely entrenched in liberal, urban districts, Omar and most of her fellow "squad" mates of progressive Democrats have been posting impressive fundraising numbers, so far scaring away serious primary challenges and quieting some critics on their home turf. While their leftist policies and uncompromising tactics may roil Democratic leaders and draw Trump's fire, they've only bolstered their standing at home. The squad is poised to be a foil for Trump and a complication for Democratic leaders.

Голова цивільної адміністрації () — це офіс, запроваджений в нацистській Німеччині, який діяв під час Другої світової війни. Її завданням було вирішення цивільних питань відповідно до закону про окупацію, головна мета - підтримка військового командування в оперативних районах німецької армії. CdZ передаватиме свої повноваження відповідному цивільному уряду після того, як дана територія опиниться в тилу діючих збройних сил.

Відповідальність
Відповідно до німецького законодавства, усі виконавчі повноваження в районах дислокації переходили до збройних сил Вермахту. Перенапружений і не в змозі побудувати цивільну адміністрацію, Верховне командування німецької армії охоче ставив ці завдання перед CdZ. На посаді губернатора рейхштаттальтера офіс знаходився в підпорядкуванні Міністерства внутрішніх справ рейху, але оперативно CdZ був під керівництвом головнокомандуючого німецькою армією і, зрештою, Адольфа Гітлера як верховного головнокомандувача. Гітлер загалом втручався у внутрішню політику окупованих територій, надаючи необмежені повноваження ескадрильям Сіхерхайцденст та СС під командуванням Генріха Гіммлера.

Адміністрації
Кілька адміністративних підрозділів під керівництвом начальника цивільної адміністрації були офіційно визначені як CdZ-Gebiete (райони CdZ, начальник територій цивільного управління):

 Кілька організацій CdZ були створені після окупації чехословацьких судетських територій з 1 жовтня 1938 року. Однак ці установи виявилися невдалими і були швидко замінені урядом Конрада Генлейна, призначеного рейхскомісаром 21 жовтня. Далі CdZ служив під час німецького вторгнення до призначення Костянтина фон Нойрата захисником рейху Богемії та Моравії в березні 1939 року.
 Після вторгнення в Польщу 1939 року нацистський гауляйтер Альберт Форстер з Данцига був призначений Гітлером 8 вересня на посаді офіційного представника CdZ на території, яка 26 жовтня офіційно перетворилася на Західну Пруссію Рейхсгау.
 Подібним чином колишній президент Сенату Данцига Артур Грайзер виступав в ролі CdZ на попередньому етапі створення Рейхсгау Позен з 8 вересня до офіційного створення Рейхсгау 21 жовтня 1939 року
 Також з 6 вересня 1939 року бригадний фюрер СС Хайнц Йост був призначений CdZ окупованої області Ціхенау, яка була офіційно приєднана до провінції Східна Пруссія 26 жовтня.

Після битви за Францію, з серпня 1940 року, на тих окупованих західних територіях, які (ще) офіційно не були анексовані Третім Рейхом, були призначені чиновники CdZ:

 Ельсас : Рейхсштаттальтер Роберт Генріх Вагнер, нацистський гаулайтер Бадена
 Лотрінген (Лотарингія ): рейхскомісар Йозеф Бюрккель, гауляйтер Саарпфальца (Вестмарк )
 Люксембург : Густав Саймон, гауляйтер Кобленц-Трієр (Мозеланд )

Подальший CdZ вступив на посаду після Балканської кампанії 1941 року:

 Окуповані югославські території Каринтії та Карніоли : рейхштатхальтер Фрідріх Райнер, гауляйтер Каринтії
 Займана територія Нижньої Штирії : рейхсштатгальтер Зігфрід Іберрейтер, гауляйтер Штирії

Після початку операції "Барбаросса" в червні 1941 р. На польській території, раніше окупованій Радянським Союзом, був створений CdZ-Gebiet Белосток під керівництвом Еріха Коха, гауляйтера Східної Пруссії, перетвореного на Безірк Білосток 1 серпня 1941 pjre.

All the Things We Never Knew
Hamilton, Sheila
Seal Press / Softcover / 2020-12-01 / 1580056504
Biography and Memoir / Forthcoming
Not Yet Published
A reporter chases the biggest story of her life—her husband's descent into mental illness.
Even as a reporter, Sheila Hamilton missed the signs as her husband David's mental illness unfolded before her. By the time she had pieced together the puzzle, it was too late. Her brilliant partner was dead within six weeks of a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, leaving his nine-year-old daughter and wife without so much as a note to explain his actions, a plan to help them recover from their grief, or a solution for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that they would inherit from him.
All the Things We Never Knew takes readers from David and Sheila's romance through the last three months of their life together and into the year after his death. It details their unsettling descent from into the world of mental illness, and examines the fragile line between stability and chaos.
Now, a decade after David's death, Sheila and her daughter, Sophie, have learned the power of choosing life over retreat; let themselves love and trust again; and understand the importance of forgiveness. Their story will resonate with all those who have loved someone who suffers from mental illness.
Five-time Emmy winner Sheila Hamilton is the news director and morning show co-host at the top-rated rock station in the country, KINK-FM in Portland. She also serves as the public affairs director and hosts an award-winning weekend talk show. She is currently Portland's #1 Radio Personality.
Hamilton began her career as an Associate Producer for public broadcasting, and spent nearly two decades reporting, anchoring, and producing commercial television for ABC affiliates in Salt Lake City and Portland. She was recently voted Oregon's Best Radio Personality. She writes cover stories for About Face magazine and serves on the board of Girls Inc., an organization empowering girls to be strong, smart, and bold, and of The Flawless Foundation, a mental health advocacy organization.

Vinyl cutters are versatile machines. They can cut a variety of materials from standard thickness films, to foils, glitters, flocks, reflective and even sand blast materials for rhinestone templates. As a manufacturer of a range of CAD-CUT® heat applied films we know how important making an accurate blade selection is to achieving accurately cut designs. This week marks our first installment of the new "Tip Jar Video Series". Take the time to watch the video below all about blades. While you're here please give us some feedback in the comments section on what you would like to see in an upcoming "Tip Jar Video".
Josh, your face is such an honest one. That is why we purchased our heat press from you sight unseen. WE LOVE it.
Now, we think its time for a cutter. Take our business up one notch. We are small, operating our of our home, but we think we can be a full service operation.
Hi Debbie – thanks for the comment and I'm so glad you're doing well with your press and ready to take the next step. If you decide to go with the Roland GX-24 cutter we can surely help you again!!! Good Luck!
Josh, I notice you mentioned the depth the blade needs to be sticking out. What results, or problems will we see if the blade is out too far?
Inaccurate cutting, especially on corners…also the potential of damaging the cutting strip.

Mercy College's mission is to provide educational access for traditional and nontraditional students, including those who are historically underrepresented in higher education, who have high financial need and/or are first-generation college students. Career & Professional Development at Mercy College is on a mission to further improve their students' career readiness and outcomes. With four campuses, more than 90 undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs within five schools, a richly diverse student body of 9,000, and a commitment to providing the highest quality experience for each student, the team has their work cut out for them.
The Career & Professional Development team is focusing on student engagement and intentional career preparation. In September, they launched a new online home, powered by higher ed marketing system uConnect, to help with this. Mercy's Career team was looking to simplify career exploration by organizing the full range of their existing career resources, data, and information into industry-focused online Career Communities. With their new career platform, Mercy's team has been able to provide customized and automated outreach to students early and often, a key building block for improving student career readiness and outcomes.
Already Mercy's efforts are paying off. Starting a month after launch, the new Career & Professional Development platform has seen a 41% increase in average monthly visitors. Increasing engagement with employers, another major goal of Mercy's, has already started to come to fruition as well, with a 59% increase in both average monthly visits to and average time spent on the designated Employers space on Mercy's platform.
Mercy's Career & Professional Development team is building partnerships across the broader college community to support career education and experiential opportunities for Mercy students. Their new Career & Professional Development platform is an integral part of the solution.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve says Chairman Jerome Powell had dinner at the White House with President Donald Trump on Monday, but the two men did not discuss the future course of interest rates.
The Fed says Trump and Powell were joined by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Richard Clarida. The dinner marks the first time Trump and Powell have met since Trump picked him for the top Fed job in November 2017. During the last three months of 2018, Trump was sharply critical of the Fed's move to higher interest rates.
Last week, the Fed signaled that it planned to pause its rate hikes and would be "patient" before raising rates again, an announcement that sparked a huge rally on Wall Street.


Knight wrote and published poetry between 1816 and 1830, but the mixed reviews he received prompted him to turn his attention to the study of architecture. He made tours of Normandy and Sicily, studying the architecture of these regions and published books relating to these expeditions, including the two-volume Ecclesiastical Architecture of Italy from Constantine to the 15th Century (1842-4). Although Knight's work was that of an amateur antiquarian, his books were influential for some early Victorian architects.
