A young beautiful Ghanaian based Amsterdam model by name Hannah Ofosu Oware,born in Accra-Ghana is competing in this years campaign to be the female face of Melanin Wonder brand.
Melanin Wonder is a Netherlands based online magazine created with the intent to highlight social issues affecting the African youth diaspora.Interestingly,Miss Hannah loves to cook because she is also in a chef school in Amsterdam as well as pursuing her modeling career.
As the saying goes,black is beautiful!But many fail to acknowledge.Miss Hannah therefore wants to be an inspiration and an advocate through her unique African lineage and beauty as a black to leave a blue print in the history of modeling.In an interview with her,she said she felt very handicapped whenever a black beautiful lady looked down upon herself and thought she wasn't pretty or good enough because of her color.
This is the reason why she decided to take up this challenge and compete to show the world the star in Africa,black and that, black is golden.

While good grades are not the main goal of our classes, evaluation is an important tool in teaching and discipleship training. We recognize that, although all people are equal in value, they often differ in their gifts and abilities. As we design our courses and evaluate students' work, we do our best to make sure that students receive grades that properly reflect the effort they put into their studies.
CCBC uses both letter grades and grade points that count toward a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). This standard grading system makes it easier for our students to transfer credits from CCBC to other academic institutions.
CCBC requires 100% attendance, and all unexcused absences will result in a grade penalty. Faithful class attendance is a vital part of the students' experience at CCBC. Our classes are participatory and interactive, and the quality of the classes would suffer greatly if attendance were optional.
Students who struggle with academics are enrolled in Academic Lab, a class designed to help students overcome their difficulties and improve their study habits. Academic Lab meets once per week for two hours and provides an opportunity for students to receive special help on an individual basis. It also helps determine if a student would be better suited to a non-degree program.

…to that time we took a hike around Woolly Hollow State Park near Greenbrier, Arkansas.
This is the trailhead for the Huckleberry Trail. This was back in September 2010…months before we were told we were moving to Oklahoma. At this time, I had a goal of hiking/visiting all 52 of Arkansas' State Parks. Before we moved, I think we had visited around 10.
There 53 State Parks in Oklahoma… we have already been to 7. Once cooler weather sets in, I hope to head out on more road trips around the state!
…to Northwest Oklahoma and two great state parks!
The weather today was cold and dreary… perfect for hiking!
First off, Gloss Mountain State Park.
This mountainous area about 2 hours from OKC, is comprised of several flat top mesas.
…that is, if you like very steep, very treacherous metal stairs. Can you see them snaking up the middle of the picture above? The dogs didn't like those too much!
It's selenite, which is a variety of the mineral gypsom.
That's a cache… the "Horseshoe Bend" cache to be exact. Thanks to my trusty Geocaching app on my iPhone, Connor and I found it with ease!
For more info on Gloss Mountain State Park… click HERE.
They're pretty, but very prickly and can be found everywhere!!!
That is a waterfall coming out of the bottom of a rock! This picture does not do it justice at all. It was an amazing sight!
I think we ended up hiking more than 3 miles in this park alone.
The sight above was in a section called "Rock Garden". I'm sure some campers stacked those up, but it looked cool nonetheless.

The other highlight of the day… the Razorbacks beat Auburn! Woo Pig Souie!

Alfred Hitchcock's Triumphant Homecoming: "Frenzy"
Alfred Hitchcock returned to London in 1972 to make the film "Frenzy," based on the novel "Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square" by Arthur La Bern. It was a nostalgic trip home for Hitchcock, and although parts of his previous two movies were filmed in Europe, this was his first full production in England since "Jamaica Inn" in 1939.
It was also a major return to form for Hitchcock. After the missteps of "Torn Curtain" and "Topaz," "Frenzy" puts The Master of Suspense on familiar, comfortable ground, as it is a darkly comic movie about a serial killer and a wrongly accused man on the run, whose themes include food, sex and marriage, all set in his old stomping grounds. "Frenzy" is arguably Hitchcock's best film since "Psycho," and resonates all the way back to "The Lodger" from 1927.
The movie opens with the kind of black irony and horror that run throughout it. After a majestic opening sequence in which we view the Thames River and London, we move in on a politician making a riverside speech about cleaning up the river. A crowd – including Hitchcock, wearing a bowler hat – listens intently, until a scream interrupts the speech. Someone has spotted some rather unusual pollution in the form of the nude body of a woman floating facedown in the river. As the police move in, a man in the crowd notes this as "another necktie murder," and starts comparing this killer to Jack the Ripper, and we're reminded that Hitchcock's London is a city that loves a good murder.
The story centers around Richard Blaney (Jon Finch), ex-R.A.F. squadron leader, who's just lost his job at a pub. His friend Robert Rusk (Barry Foster), a successful fruit and vegetable merchant in the Covent Garden Market, offers him support and advice; his ex-wife, Brenda (Barbara Leigh-Hunt), a matchmaker of sorts, takes pity on him despite his black mood.
What Blaney does not know is that Rusk is in fact the Necktie Murderer – and that, since Rusk is about to start killing the women in Blaney's life, including Brenda and a perky barmaid called Babs (Anna Massey), the police will conclude that Blaney is the killer.
After Rusk murders the helpful Babs, Blaney unwittingly turns to Rusk himself for help, but this time, the killer uses Blaney's situation to his advantage. Rusk takes Blaney's bag and says he'll meet him at his apartment. Rusk then loads the bag with the murdered women's clothes, so that when the police arrive (tipped by our villain, of course), Blaney looks very guilty indeed.
Blaney is tried and sentenced, but his promise to get vengeance on Rusk makes Chief Superintendent Oxford (Alec McCowen) wonder if they collared the wrong man. In one of the film's funniest scenes, Oxford discusses the case with his wife, who's been studying French cooking. Oxford is very grateful when he is pulled away from his nauseating dinner to chase down information on Rusk.
Blaney, meanwhile, gets himself put in the prison infirmary, then breaks out, steals a car and heads for Rusk's apartment, intent on revenge. With the car's jack in hand, he breaks into the apartment. He sees the shape of a body in the bed and begins beating it with the jack, but when he seems an arm fall out of the bed, he realizes that this is not Rusk but a dead woman, a tie tight around her throat.
Just then, Oxford enters the apartment. He signals Blaney to be quiet. We hear
"Mr. Rusk, you're not wearing your tie."
someone thumping up the stairs; it's Rusk, pulling a large trunk behind him. As Oxford says, "Mr. Rusk, you're not wearing your tie," Rusk drops the trunk. It falls, looking very much like a tombstone, as the closing credits appear.
Timing is everything in "Frenzy." Blaney is constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time; Rusk, meanwhile, escapes over and over.
Although the story is similar to that of "The Lodger" – although, of course, the
The Necktie Killer strikes.
killer is actually on camera in "Frenzy" – Hitchcock is free to turn up the violence in this movie. "Frenzy" only shows one of the killings, though, and leaves the other to our imagination. Hitchcock did not shy from the brutality of the killing; both actors are covered in sweat and disheveled by the time the scene is over.
Rusk gets one of the movie's funniest scenes, as well. After killing Babs off camera, he puts the body in a potato sack and dumps in the back of one of his trucks, but then notices that he's missing his jeweled "R" stickpin. Realizing that it must be with the body, he attempts to find it among the potatoes as the truck pulls out. Rusk is kicked in the face by a loose foot as he tries to find the pin; finally, he breaks the fingers to get it out of her grip. As the truck makes a stop, Rusk hops out, brushes himself off and stops in at a café for a drink.
"Frenzy" made its debut with much acclaim, and the movie was a hit. Hitchcock had a great script to work with here – not quite on the level of "North by Northwest," perhaps, but strong nonetheless – written by Anthony Shaffer, who had written the stageplay "Sleuth" (later a terrific movie starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine).
London's theater provided Hitchcock with his cast as well. Avoiding established movie stars helped keep costs down; also, the cast did not have the concerns some movie stars did about portraying unsavory characters.
The fact is, while the plot of "Frenzy" is very engaging, particularly after the first half hour or so, when the characters and their relationships are established, there really isn't anyone to like in the film. Blaney is moody and bad-tempered; Rusk is charming in his way but still a monster. Perhaps the most sympathetic character is Oxford, the Chief Inspector, struggling to smile as he attempts to swallow his wife's outlandish menu and rethinking the entire case based on a bad feeling – but "Frenzy" is hardly his story.
As always, Hitchcock plays the audience, making us suffer as much as possible. He holds a long, silent shot of the exterior of Brenda's office while the secretary returns for lunch; how long it will take for her to reach the office, find the body and scream, we do not know, but the wait seems interminable. The death of Babs, drowned out by the noise of Covent Garden Market and unseen even by the audience, seems pathetic. And, as Robin Wood might have written, Hitchcock titillates us with nudity, then makes us feel ashamed, even nauseated, by the violence that follows. In the potato truck scene, Hitchcock adds humor to the suspense, as Babs' dainty toes smack Rusks' face while he tries to find his stickpin in a bouncing truck full of dusty tubers.
The making of "Frenzy," and Hitchcock's return to London, was well documented, and his fondness for the city shows. There are lingering shots of the greengrocers's stands in the Covent Garden Market, undoubtedly reminiscent of Hitchcock's father's own business in the area. The opening shots of the market seem a bit overplayed thanks to the bombastic music by Ron Goodwin that accompanies them; it's one thing to use that music when showing the Thames River and the Tower Bridge, but implying a majestic quality to fruit and vegetable stands is bit much. Henry Mancini had been hired originally to score the movie, but Hitchcock was not satisfied with the results and fired him.
Hitchcock clowns with someone wearing the mask shown in the trailer.
"Frenzy" echoes "Psycho" both in its serial killer theme and in the carefully storyboarded and tightly edited murder scenes; in 1960, Hitchcock had to argue with the board of censors that he showed neither nudity nor a knife entering the body. Twelve years later, the world of film had changed enormously, and the new MPAA ratings system was in place. Hitchcock was able to show both nudity and graphic violence, at the cost of an "R" rating. This was not a detriment to ticket sales, however. On the contrary, the fact that The Master of Suspense had ventured into this territory must have piqued audiences curiousity. Along with the nudity and violence, the script is full of swearing, bringing the cast of working class characters to vivid life.
Of course, the viewer may have a few questions after the movie nears its end: If
Rusk's trunk, looking very much like a tombstone.
Blaney thought that the figure in bed was alive, wouldn't he be charged with attempted murder? And wouldn't he be also be charged for escaping prison and stealing the car? Hitchcock's fast fade-out at the end helps to keep audiences from stumbling over those questions.
Hitchcock returns in his role as narrator of the trailer for "Frenzy," and he seems to be enjoying every moment of it:
The body we first see is a dummy wearing a Hitchcock mask; there are production photos of Hitchcock mugging with the mask on set. The fractured "Frenzy" logo, not seen in the movie itself, reminds us of "Psycho," as does the screaming response to a question from Hitchcock. The clumsy rear-projection behind Hitchcock does not seem important; this is Hitchcock having fun, making references to a "leg of lamb" – perhaps a reminder of his most famous episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." His drawled intonation of the line "How d'you like my necktie?" is the highlight of the trailer.
Next, Alfred Hitchcock returns with his final feature film, the black comedy "Family Plot," starring Karen Black and Bruce Dern.
« Alfred Hitchcock Makes a Modern Spy Drama Alfred Hitchcock's Final Twist: Family Plot »
Ron Hobbs (22:17:32) :
Frenzy is Hitch at his drollest and most chilling. You've covered most of the salient points, but when Babs is murdered you fail to mention the fabulous tracking shot that follows his actors across Covent Garden and up the stairs to her flat , only to stop and reverse itself before entering, taking us down the steps, alone, and outside, only to rest looking at the building, while people cross camera and go about their business. A woman is being murdered, but that is a small piece in the mosaic of life.
One great line that I'm sure wouldn't fly with today's audiences, is in the beginning as someone notes the murderer rapes his victims before killing them. Another responds "every cloud has a silver lining". Ouch.
I always thought this movie would make a good remake. Rusk finds his victims through a dating service, a novel idea in it's time. With internet dating everywhere, who has a good script?
Jamie (13:45:56) :
In my opinion this is Hitchcock's best movie, very underrated and much more exicitng that Psycho and Rear Window. A classic in all aspects.

If your little entertainer is ready for the big stage dress him for the occasion in the Big Top Clown Toddler Costume! Giggles will ensue when your little one wears this multi-color patchwork top with amusing frill neckline and fluffy red buttons. He'll run around town in these funky striped pants with green patches and watch as everyone admirers this Halloween classic.
Extremely small. My child wears 4t and this 3-4t is more like a 2t.
My 3 year old LOVES this costume! He couldn't stop looking at himself in the mirror! Only thing that would make it better would be if it included a hat with it instead of buying it separately. I also like that it is a two piece outfit..
I brought a size 3T-4T for my 18 month old son who is 33 inches and 25 lbs. The costumes fit very smal almost like a spandex, as opposed to the picture. The frills that go around the neck fits really loose and is a different shade of red than from the rest of the costume. The material is also very thin and flimsy.
My 3 year old picked this out and loved it, but it fit very tight on him and he is small for his size. The material is so thin that he was cold so we put on clothes under it to keep him warmer.
My 3 year-old son loves the clown outfit & he's adorable in it. My only complaint is one of the fuzzy buttons fell off as I removed the top from the package.


The City of New Orleans will be issuing an official Proclamation of Apology on April 12, 2019, regarding the largest lynching in United States history. Following the murder of New Orleans Police Chief David Hennessy on October 16, 1890, several Italian immigrants were arrested without just cause. Nine of the 19 men who were indicted went to trial, which resulted in six acquittals and three mistrials (because the jurors couldn't agree on a verdict).
In reaction to this, on March 14, 1891, a mob formed outside of Parish Prison. The rioters broke inside and dragged 11 Italian immigrants out of the prison. Those 11 Italians were hung, shot, and/or clubbed to death in the city streets—marking the largest lynching in United States history.
Five of those who were killed had not even been tried in court. Eight of the wrongfully imprisoned Italian immigrants survived the lynch mob by managing to hide in the prison itself. Afterward, the charges against them were dropped, and they were set free. In the end, 11 Italian immigrants were lynched for a murder that was never solved, and those who were guilty of the lynching were never arrested and brought to justice.
The Commission for Social Justice would like to recognize New York CSJ State Chair John Fratta and Michael Santo, Esq., for their efforts in making this Proclamation possible. Founded in 1905, the Order Sons & Daughters of Italy in America is the oldest and largest organization for men and women of Italian heritage. Its anti-defamation arm, the Commission for Social Justice, was founded in 1979 and combats the stereotyping of Italian Americans by the entertainment, advertising, and news industries.

Could Netflix Pick Up NBC's Timeless for Season 2?
Published on May 13th, 2017, 5:52 am EST
News broke about NBC's decision to cancel Timeless over the past couple of days and many are looking at Netflix to revive the show for season 2. Below, we'll be taking a look at that possibility and whether and when you'll be able to stream season 1 of Timeless on Netflix too.
A bit of background on the show first. It's a sci-fi series that premiered on NBC with 16 episodes in October 2016. The story mainly follows three people who are time traveling to prevent another time traveler from changing the course of American history. The format of the show wasn't particularly new but what gave it an edge was its excellent writing and memorable cast particularly the villain.
The series looked to have a good future with NBC extending the first season by 3 episodes but on May 10th, the network announced it'd be canceling the show along with many other popular NBC shows.
[interaction id="5916cfe6f5b27d4e18d6ce12″]
Could Netflix pick up the show?
In theory yes although it's obviously a lot more complicated than that. Sony TV produces the show for NBC much like the way they produce Bloodline for Netflix and Breaking Bad for AMC. What it comes down to ultimately is budget and a show like Timeless will have a big one. Sony is reportedly shopping the show to other networks currently so it's likely would be one of the contenders.
Sadly, we think its highly unlikely they'd pick up the show as they already have a few shows exclusively streaming which fall into the same genre as we'll go into below. But we'd never say never and we'll update you when/if the show does find a new home.
Will Netflix stream season 1 of Timeless?
This is more likely although we aren't aware of any timelines. To recoup the losses of the first season, NBC may put the show out to tender to other streaming networks. Hulu had exclusive new episodes every week and continue to have the whole first season. We think if Netflix was to pick up the show it'd be around September and October when they renew some of their other content on Netflix.
In the meantime, we definitely recommend going and checking out another sci-fi series with a few similarities and it's a Netflix Original too. That show is called Travelers and released late last year on Netflix with another season scheduled for 2017. The Canadian time traveling sci-fi series Continuum may also be right your alley.
When will Season 4 of Peaky Blinders be on Netflix?

PRE-TAX profits at the main Irish arm of online giant Amazon last year increased by 30.5 per cent to €39.46 million.
New accounts filed by Amazon Data Services Ireland Ltd (ADSIL) show revenues jumped by 49 per cent from €1.1 billion to €1.65 billion.
The internet giant has a strong presence in Tallaght, with four data centres in the area.
Work on a fifth data centre commenced at the former Barretts warehouse last year, after planning permission was sought by ADSIL.
ADSIL is Amazon's main data centre business, where consumers who sign up to the company's cloud service to store data remotely see it stored in the Republic. It generates revenue by charging group entities for the use of its services rather than charging clients directly.
The company's administrative expenses in 2018 increased from €1 billion to €1.6 billion. Non-cash depreciation costs climbed from €680 million to €801 million.
Research and development costs increased more than sixfold from €9.9 million to €70.7 million. Operating lease costs at the firm increased to €21.28 million.
The company paid corporation tax of €11 million on its profits, leaving a post-tax profit of €27.6 million.
At the end of last December, the company employed 1,371, up from 1,189 a year earlier, increasing staff costs from €117.98 million to €151.4 million.
Five directors served during the year and pay to directors increased by 31 per cent from €1.23 million to €1.62 million. This included shared-based awards of €1.03 million.
At the end of December last, the company's shareholder funds totalled €845.57 million. Its accumulated profits increased from €100.96 million to €128.58 million.
In total, Amazon employs more than 2,500 people in the Republic and announced plans last June to create another 1,000 jobs here over the next two years, the majority of these at its subsidiary Amazon Web Services sites in Tallaght, Blanchardstown, the city centre and north Dublin.

As November's chill sets in, rather than reach for the flu tablets, I pull out the ingredients for khichdi (the Indian answer to chicken soup) or Masala chai, the original cold cure.
The bus ride to work is overrun with sniffing commuters, your office sounds like an orchestra of chesty coughs, and the doctor gives a forced smile as she repeats to you what she's told six other patients this morning: drink a lot of fluids, get some bed rest, and your nasty cold will eventually run its course.
Welcome back winter, we haven't missed you.
But as November's chill sets in, rather than reach for the Lemsip or cold and flu tablets, I pull out the ingredients for khichdi, the Indian answer to chicken soup and a natural immune booster.
Khichdi, an Indian dish made with basmati rice, lentils, garlic, and ginger. All photos by the author.
The basic recipe is basmati rice, lentils, garlic, and ginger, keeping the dish light and easy to digest. Influenced by ancient Ayurvedic medicine, khichdi was also popular with British colonialists, so much so that it inspired an Anglo-Indian version known as kedgeree, often eaten at breakfast. Cooked with smoked haddock, boiled eggs, and parsley, kedgeree is moist, lightly spicy, and soothing to the stomach.
"Indian Hindus have always strongly associated food with health," explains Dr Priya Deshingkar, a migration researcher at the University of Sussex. "Ascribing a number of herbs and ingredients with health enhancing properties."
Traditional turmeric milk and Masala chai drinks.
As an asthmatic child, my mum would also instruct me have honey and black pepper during the summer months to help soothe my chest and reduce chances of an infection. It seems unappetising but the remedy has been used throughout the Indian subcontinent to treat viral infections for centuries, with the honey's stickiness combining with the pepper to soothe mucous membranes in the throat. It also beats spending every day in the school nurse's office with an inhaler.
Of course, the benefits of such homespun remedies can err on the side of folklore but growing up, our kitchen cupboards were always full of seeds, dried leaves, and powders brought back from Pakistan—all to be used as alternative medicines.
When I was sick, the sound of elderly aunts pouring Masala chai from one cup to another was instantly soothing. Commonly cooked with milk, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom, the drink's aromatic flavours were a cold remedy long before Starbucks started mixing them with excess milk and sugar.
"There are a number of home remedies based on common ingredients found in most Indian homes," adds Deshingkar. "At the same time, certain foods are thought to result in an imbalance of the or humours of the body."
Deshingkar also runs an Indian restaurant specialising in Maharashtrian cuisine and explains how such Ayurvedic remedies were taken from an ancient Sanskrit text.
"The origins of these practices can probably be traced to the Ayurvedic principles outlined in the ancient Indian text of the Charaka Samhita, which dates back to around 500 BC," she says.
One example Deshingkar gives me is turmeric and hot milk (haldi dhood in Hindi), a simple recipe for chest infections and the flu.
"Turmeric has strong antibacterial properties and the milk ensures that it coats the back of the throat, thereby killing the germs that are causing the sore throat," she explains. "Turmeric is also applied neat to small wounds and cuts to prevent them from becoming infected."
The benefits of Ayurvedic medicine are still being researched in the UK, with doctors warning against certain elements of the practice, such as herbal pills found to contain dangerous amounts of lead. But in Glasgow's Wee Curry Shop, Ayurvedic principles have had a strong influence on the cooking of chef Vini Sharma.
"Indian food is full of great spices like cinnamon we use in cooking or black pepper, turmeric, and a lot of chilies," he says. "All of these have a great benefit for your health. I try to use all the spices available in the market as much as possible and our customers love the flavours they bring out. The restaurant has been here a long time and we really want to keep up our reputation by using fresh ingredients."
Sharma recalls being forced to drink rink haldi dhood by his elders back in New Delhi but now appreciates the tradition.
"Obviously when you're growing up, mixing turmeric with hot milk is the last thing you want as a child but in the long run, you realise the benefits and want to pass on this tradition to your own kids," he says. "I've been healthy all my life and I've never fallen sick so it's a great thing to keep going."
Sharma points to the spices neatly lined up in glass jars at the entrance of his restaurant as evidence.
"I love Masala chai and haldi with milk because they are great for the immune system," he adds. "It makes you stronger. We use a lot of turmeric in our cooking whether that's Indian or Pakistani—it all has the same roots."
A plate of bhindi Masala sits on the countertop in front of us. With okra, caramelised onions, chili, and turmeric, the vegetarian curry is packed with Ayurvedic-approved, cold-fighting ingredients.
It also looks delicious—something that probably can't be said for Beecham's Cold & Flu.

Running partners win Charlotte marathons
James Perez and Bert Rodriguez win marathon and half-marathon
Haley Dwyer illumination Staff Writer
Two running partners who work for Duke Energy won the annual Novant Health Charlotte Marathon and half marathon.
James Perez winning the Charlotte Marathon on Nov. 3.
James Perez, a Duke Energy senior business analyst, won the men's marathon Nov. 3 with a time of 2 hours, 31 minutes and 37 seconds, more than 6 1/2 minutes ahead of the runner up. He ran cross country and track and field at Furman University in South Carolina.
Winning the men's half marathon was Bert Rodriguez, a Duke Energy project manager in Enterprise Analytics, with a time of 1 hour, 14 minutes and 4 seconds. He also won the 2017 men's marathon.
About 1,200 runners were registered for the marathon, and about 2,500 were signed up for the half.
"After you complete a marathon you go to immediate joy," Perez said. "It helps to win because it encourages you to set your next goal, and it gives you the motivation for the next race that you plan to run in."
Perez has run marathons before, but this was his first Charlotte marathon. He has run in the Kiawah Island Marathon and twice in the Boston Marathon.
"Once you pick the marathon that you want to run in, you want to pick one that is enough weeks away where you can prepare. Be disciplined," he said. "Just like you would if you want to accomplish a goal at work. Set a plan and stick to it."
Bert Rodriguez has been running for more than 20 years and has participated in the Charlotte marathon four times. His marathon career started with the Charlotte Thunder Road Marathon in 2013. This year's victory was his first time running in the half marathon.
Bert Rodriguez, left, with James Perez
"My interest in running marathons sparked when I kept hearing about why they were such a big deal. I used to dismiss the bumper stickers that drove by saying 26.2 on the back. But if you want to run one of those races to the best of your ability, you'll find out very quickly why it's such a big deal," Rodriguez said.
Running has brought Perez and Rodriguez together as friends. They train and have run races together. Rodriguez ran the best marathon of his life last year with the help of his running partner. "It's hard to find people that run at the same level as you and help push you to be successful," Rodriguez said. "It just so happens that James and I both ended up at Duke Energy. Duke Energy literally swept the marathon and half marathon this year."

The Monroe County Board of Supervisors established the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) in 1987 in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Emergency Response Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 to protect the community from harmful and possible life-threatening effects of a hazardous materials release. The LEPC's purpose is to develop policies, procedures, and emergency plans for prevention of and responding to accidental releases of hazardous chemicals.
(1) This is an advisory Committee, not a policy making Committee.
(2) Consult and coordinate with the County Board, the County and local heads of emergency management services, and the Public Safety & Judiciary Committee in the execution of the Local Emergency Planning Commission's duties.
The United States Congress enacted Public Law 99-499 in October 1986 to protect and inform all citizens of the existence of extremely hazardous chemicals that may be manufactured, stored, distributed or used in your community.
P.L. 99-499 is the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986, Title III of the "Superfund and Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986".
Information about these hazardous chemicals and locations within Monroe County is available for public review at the Monroe County Emergency Management Department, which is located within the Sheriff's Office at 210 W. Oak Street, Sparta, Wisconsin 54656. Regular business hours are 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Telephone inquiries as to specific information contained in the files will not be accepted. You must review these files in person.
Copies of documents will be made at the expense of the requestor and at rates established by Monroe County.
Information available from Monroe County Emergency Management is limited to compliance with P.L. 99-499 and does not include all chemicals that may pose a threat to humans, animals or the environment.
If you have questions related to this notice or its application in Monroe County call (608) 269-8711.
Meetings are held twice a year, in the months of January and July, the date, time, and location to be determined by the LEPC Chair and Emergency Management Coordinator.
The agenda for each meeting will be posted on this site, link below, or can be viewed at the Monroe County Emergency Management Department.
All Monroe County LEPC meetings are open to the public and anyone is welcome to attend.
This legal notice is published to inform the general public and complies with Section 324 of P.L. 55-499. Emergency public notices will also be issued in the event an actual emergency occurs which requires public notification.
On October 17, 2008, EPA finalized several changes to the Emergency Planning (Section 302), Emergency Release Notification (Section 304) and Hazardous Chemical Reporting (Sections 311 and 312) regulations that were proposed on June 8, 1998 (63 FR 31268). These changes include clarification on how to report hazardous chemicals in mixtures, and changes to Tier I and Tier II forms. Additionally, the rules now use a question and answer format. Facilities subject to EPCRA reporting, State Emergency Response Commissions (SERCs), Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) and fire departments should become familiar with the new regulation.

It is also possible to nominate for several categories.

CLAREMONT, CA. – The No.23 Pomona-Pitzer Men's Basketball team extended their win streak to 11 games with a 70-65 win over Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) opponent Occidental on Monday night at Voelkel Gymnasium.
Season Impact: With the win, the Sagehens improve to 15-1 overall and stay perfect in the SCIAC schedule at 7-0.
The Sagehens had a team effort in the win tonight led by senior Daniel Rosenbaum who notched a team-high 14 points in the win. Senior Corbin Koch had 13 points and five rebounds, junior Micah Elan had 12 points, six rebounds and five assists and sophomore Alex Preston also reached double digits with 11 points and eight rebounds.
The first meeting of the Sagehens and Tigers lived up to the hype with the largest lead of the night for either team was just seven points in a game that saw 10 ties and a whopping 24 lead changes.
The game started as a close first half between the top two teams in the SCIAC standings. The largest lead of the half belonged to the Sagehens who went up seven points at 27-20 after an Elan three with 6:22 left in the half. The Tigers came back late in the first half as the Sagehens' offense went cold and Occidental notched the final six points of the half to cut the lead down to just one point.
The Sagehens went into the locker room with a slight 32-31 lead thanks in part to their shooting percentage in the first half. Pomona-Pitzer shot 42.9% from the floor opposed to Occidental who shot just 39.3% but the Tigers hit three of their four three-pointers in the first half to keep the game close. The Tigers outrebounded the Sagehens in the first half 21-15, but Pomona-Pitzer tallied 14 points in the paint while Oxy managed to get just eight.
The second half was an exhilarating 20 minutes of basketball with both teams throwing punch after punch to gain the top spot in the SCIAC standings. The two teams went back and forth as the lead changed hands 21 times in the second half alone.
Picking the game up late in the second half, Occidental held a two-point lead at 59-57 after a made free throw with 3:33 remaining. The Sagehens responded with a big three-pointer by Koch to take back the lead at 60-59. The Tigers responded a retook the lead a few minutes later after a Zach Baines jumper, but a huge three by junior Adam Rees gave the Sagehens a 67-65 lead with 1:23 left to go.
Occidental had a big chance to take back the lead as they got a wide open three in the corner, but the ball rimmed out and forced the Tigers to foul. Elan hit one of two free-throws to extend the lead to three points at 68-65. The Sagehens decided to foul on the final possession and not allow Occidental to attempt a game-tying three. The Tigers missed the front end of the 1-and-1 and Koch was able to close out the game at the free-throw line as the Sagehens kept their perfect conference record alive.
Up Next: The Sagehens will next travel to Caltech on Saturday, January 19th at 7:30 p.m.


Born in Montreal, Canada, David Ledden first picked up a bass at the age of 12. By 15 he was playing the metal circuit of his native Quebec, appearing on albums and touring with Crypt and Exciter. In the early 90s David joined obscure Montreal post-punk trio Saw Tooth. The band toured Eastern Canada and the United Kingdom, and release one double-single, Kinda Stanky on En Guard records. David moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1992, and after a final, disastrous tour with Saw Tooth, left to form the band Spine, releasing one single, Black Greasy Five Eye on Zedd Records.

As I write this, I'm fresh off the back of my third spinal surgery in a little over 6 months.
Why am I telling you this? Well, firstly, after starting the mental health initiative Hope You're Well with Hunted, I promised to write about things like this regularly.
That isn't news to anyone who knows me, because it's all I've talked about. I've become very aware of the importance of talking. But of all the lessons to learn, I feel like that's a big one.
For me, I found out who my friends are. And it turns out I'm very lucky.
I've learnt about the kindness of my closest friends, who've helped me immeasurably, but also the kindness of complete strangers.
After writing about Hope You're Well on LinkedIn, I had an email from a guy called Scott. A total stranger, who liked the sound of the initiative and wanted to know more.
I called him from my prison cell flat to tell him what others on Hunted have done, and offer any perspective I could.
Just a chat, with a stranger, about some wellbeing perks he could offer his staff.
Things like offering mental sick days alongside physical sick days. Or the ability to email in, on sick days, instead of a phone call. Or any of the other things in this list.
After I put the phone down I forgot all about Scott.
It knocked me back a bit.
See, whilst chuntering on about Hunted, I'd inadvertently bitten his ear off about the accident. With Scott hailing from Solihull (where I was born) we also talked about supporting Villa and the collective struggle of that fate. Along with, apparently, my inability to leave the house.
Scott just wanted to check in, and let me know he was around if I needed to vent again.
Somehow I'd found an ally off the back of a random LinkedIn conversation.
If there's one job where 'the struggle is real', it's recruitment. And usually, everyday.
Frankly, if you don't face a constant daily struggle, you're probably doing it wrong.
Every day's different. And, some struggles are smaller than others.
A candidate you know 100% is full of sh*t, but you book for interview anyway.
The heartfelt apology after it turns out true.
A lot of struggles in recruitment aren't your fault and not something you can easily change. A little like my bike accident. But in truth, you go looking for struggles.
Recruitment is the everyday struggle you cherish, because every time you solve it, you win.
And with these wins, so reward follows.
Placing a candidate in their dream job changes someone's life for the better. But it also makes you money.
Working through a tricky placement with a client is challenging, but their business grows at the end.
It sounds like a cliché, but the bigger the struggle, the higher the reward.
If you've ever seen an interview with a billionaire, you'll have noticed a similar pattern of retrospect. They often say the happiest time of their life was 'the struggle'.
When they had no money. No success. No material possessions. And seemingly no hope for the future.
And yet, they look back, with great fondness.
Now, before you jump down my throat, I'm aware how easy it is to be happy retrospectively, after finding huge success. Failures you turn into successes are even sweeter.
But financial success only plays into one part of happiness. And this will be evident in your own life.
Take being healthy for example. Have you ever noticed how someone has a new lease of life after a near death experience?
Sure, it's easy to look back with fondness at a struggle, when you know you eventually win.
But just because you've not made billions, doesn't mean the outcome hasn't been valuable.
Every bad experience, no matter how severe, will teach you something.
And it'll teach you far more than the good times in your life. You'll learn resilience. Strength. The value of friendship. The benefits of talking. The value in shouting at a pedestrian so he looks both ways.
Whatever it is, it'll be a lesson worth knowing. And without that struggle, it's not something you'd know.
What does 'the end' look like?
Those billionaire interviews you see, whose subjects look pensively at years gone by. They know the outcome's favourable.
They sit there with a wry smile, thankful of the journey. But that's not the end of their story.
Until they draw their last breath, there are twists and turns to come.
The same with you. Sure, you've had a bad day. A bad year. The worst in living memory perhaps?
The resilience we have as humans is astonishing. We're the most versatile machine of perseverance the earth's ever seen. Use that to your favour and know there are always better times round the corner.
Everything's relative. How well you think your life's going is tainted by something called heuristic availability. Which is basically, if you're having a bad day, it affects your entire outlook.
When you're having a good day however, everything seems to go well. You're happy.
But for all the good things that have happened in your life, how important were they?
When I look back, the good times rarely taught me anything. And in reality, they never lasted that long. There was always something to come along and interrupt it. That's life.
Whilst my 'struggle' this year's taken me through physical agony and mental anguish, I'm aware of how lucky I am.
Pain's a great motivator in striving for health. And as painful as it is, I know my ailment's temporary.
I have a roof over my head. I have understanding bosses. Mates who'd do anything for me. I'm in the top 1% of wealth in the world (despite my bank balance's claim to the contrary). I'm extremely fortunate.
If nothing else, going through a bad spell teaches you lessons like this. It offers perspective. On your plight versus others. And how the depth of bad times amplifies the good.
It's crucial to stop and look around every now and then.
No matter what you're going through, there'll be something amazing in your life. Right now as you read this.
Even just an outlook or realisation.
Without the bad times, there's no emphasis on the good. You'd never learn your hardest lessons. You'd never grow as a person.
Be proud of what you've achieved.
Be glad of the struggle.
Be thankful for the lessons.
You've learnt more in the worst times of your life than any other. So cherish them. As hard as that sounds and counter-intuitive at the time. You're stronger for them and have greater experience for battling struggles to come.
There will be more struggles. Probably today.
But by welcoming them, you come out the other side better off.
If you're struggling at the moment and can't find a positive to be gained, don't panic. There's help out there. And people who'll listen to your problems, like you've done for me today.
If you feel like you just need to unwind, this article might help.
Or this one with some wellbeing book recommendations. Or this one, with some useful apps to help you through the everyday.
But learn to cherish the struggle and you'll unlock a new level of potential in yourself you never knew you had.

They're actively guiding the growth of our community and culture.
When the Cranford, NJ native moved to West Chester over a decade ago, he worked at Penn's Table with no intention of going into business. Yet, it was the diner that carved his path. Old photos on the walls inspired his idea for Time Machine Tours, a mobile app that uses GPS to display historical images where they were taken to give the illusion of looking into the past. A healthy start-up culture paired with a timely win on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? provided funding to build a prototype. When WCHE's former general manager Bill Mason came into the restaurant for coffee, Hudson regularly bugged him for a gig. His initiative paid off, and he started producing his own radio shows. Since 2013, Hudson has produced the weekly World's Finest Show, focused on comics, video games, and tech, and launched Love @ First Listen, a radio dating show.
THE DESIGNER-TURNED-PUBLIC SERVANT
EMILY PISANO, 27 Assistant to the Mayor and Chief of Police of West Chester Borough When it comes to career transitions, the jump from fashion to government might seem unexpected, but for Emily Pisano, a former fashion line owner and current Assistant to the Mayor and Chief of Police, the leap made sense — and she landed it with grace, and of course, style.
and the Clean & Green Initiative, among other things. Essentially, she's the actor behind the scenes, handling operations that improve the borough and surrounding communities. When she's not working, you can find her volunteering with the TogetHER initiative, the Chester County Young Democrats, or enjoying the hummus at Sidebar. In the fall, she'll begin pursuing her master's in Public Administration at WCU.
While Hudson's work in the entertainment spheres continues to generate economic impact, his political aspirations made headlines. Inspired to action after the 2016 election, Hudson ran for Mayor in 2017. Although he didn't win, he's currently on the Opioid Task Force and holds a position as one of the Democratic Committee People for Ward 7 He and his wife Leslie just welcomed their first daughter, Ava, to the borough.
Pisano, a Downingtown native, moved to West Chester after graduating from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S. in Fashion Merchandising and pursued a career working at Malena's Vintage Boutique before becoming co-owner of Tesoro Design, a leather handbag company. It was during the 2016 election that Pisano heard a higher calling that would take her beyond handbags and into Borough Hall. She started getting more involved in politics, first as a hobby and then as a conscious commitment, attending Borough Democratic Committee meetings and courthouse rallies. Soon she was paying less attention to style trends and more to current events and decided to take the plunge into the political sphere. In her current administrative-support role, she attends meetings, prepares agendas, and plans events surrounding the Mayor's Opioid Action Task Force
