Q: connect to API with X-Auth-Token when running local I'm in Angular 2 trying to connect to an API where eI do not have access server side.
I know this API and token are ok works As I converting an existing PHP app to Angular.
Here is myapp.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Http, Headers } from '@angular/http';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';

@Injectable()
export class DxdService {

    private apiUrl = 'https://path/to/my/api/';

    constructor(private _http: Http){

    }

    createAuthorizationHeader(headers: Headers) {
        headers.append('X-Auth-Token','myvalidkey');
    }

    getValueFromApi(){
        let headers = new Headers();
        this.createAuthorizationHeader(headers);
        return this._http.get(this.apiUrl, headers)
        .map(res => res.json());
    }
}

This return invariably
GET https://path/to/my/api/ 401 (Unauthorized)
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://path/to/my/api/. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://127.0.0.1:3000' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 401.
What I can't figure out here is, did the way I set my headers x-auth-token is wrong, or did I fight agains the Access-Control-Allow-Origin CORS issue.
Considering I can't access server side to change Access-Control-Allow-Origin header response, if the way I set my headers is right, how can I keep developing locally?

A: You won't be able to fix this issue from a Frontend perspective, you need to access the server to make the proper adjustments and making it accesible from your Angular application
You can try implementing JSONP as the method in your request. Just keep in mind that JSONP only works with GET
$http({
    method: 'JSONP',
    url: url
}).
success(function(status) {
    //your code when success
}).
error(function(status) {
    //your code when fails
});

Eritrea fueling Ethio-Egyptian Tensions as a means of proxy war with Ethiopia
Date: 19 Sep 2017Author: Tesfabirhan 0 Comments
Awate Staff of www.awate.com has translated and published an interview conducted in Arabic by AlMasri Al Youm with PFDJ(Eritrea) ambassador in Cairo, Fasil Gebreselassie Tekhla.
The interview revealed how far Eritrea is involved between the two countries. It is literally beating drums of war. After categorically describing the Ethiopian Renaissance dam project a "politically motivated one", he recalled a conversation that was sought to happen between Late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and an Egyptian officer. In his own words,
————————————–Beginning of Quote ————————————————
In 1993, in its first official representation as an independent state, Eritrea attended in one of the African conferences in Cairo, where the then Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi was present. At the time, the relation between the two countries was excellent. And here Zenawi presented an idea: Just like the Arabs sell oil to us, we sell water to all countries. The Eritrean president strongly rejected the proposal, and here, the late General Omar Suleiman, the former head of the General Intelligence responded to him. He said to Zenawi: "And who are you to say that?"
—————————————— End of Quote —————————————————-
The same accusation was brought by Dictator Issaias Afewerki in an interview conducted with ESAT Reporters.
When the Ambassador was asked how he sees the Renaissance dam crisis, he jumped to accuse USA and some Gulf countries[though he didn't mention, his target was Qatar] collaborative desire to make Egypt thirsty by reducing water supply to the Nile river.
In his words, as it is published by Awate staff
Q: How do you see the Renaissance Dam crisis?
Response: Eritrea has officially declared that the construction of the Renaissance Dam has no positive purpose in the interest of the Ethiopian people. The decision to build it is a political decision and not economic. We are not against any development project in any African country, but the dam is not for a developmental purpose.
Q: What is the real purpose behind this "political goal"?
Response: Ethiopia is mainly dependent on economic aid. It is the main African country that receives the most economic assistance from the United States, the European Union, and the World Bank. It is a country that has a "famine" and asks for assistance from the United Nations to feed its people. There are some countries that help it to finance the construction of the dam.
Q: Who are these countries?
Response: Any country that wants to fight Egypt will not resort to a direct military solution. This method no longer exists on the ground, so the last card in that war is to "make Egypt Thirsty."
Q: Do you mean that Ethiopia wants to "make Egypt Thirsty"?
Response: Not only Ethiopia, but some Western and [Arab] Gulf countries stand behind Ethiopia and support the construction of the Renaissance Dam. Particularly since the area where the Renaissance dam is located is not suitable for agriculture.
——————————————- End of Quote ——————————————
This is a serious allegation that is intended to add fuel for the already growing tensions between Ethiopia and Egypt.

Some Historical Facts
PFDJ Allies
PFDJ has never missed an ally that can assist it to stay in power. Its allies are really serving well to the intended purpose. And these allies are insane as they have their own insane interest.
Eritrea's main purpose is to keep Ethiopia as a hostage by creating interest group enemies that can be used as direct agents of proxy wars. I am not sure how pragmatic Ethiopia is to change its strategy, but PFDJ approach is very dynamic yet simple.
Since the termination of border war with Ethiopia, Eritrea understood that any additional war can put its sovereignity at risk. Despite the final and binding Algeriers agreement, the two countries could not come into peace terms. As a result, they found themselves in a "No War, No Peace" situation. Since then, Eritrea continued to play a proxy war that diverts Ethiopia's energy and forces from being directed to the North border.
Ally I: Al-Shabaab of Somalia
When Ethiopia refused to be abided by the decision of Border Commission, Eritrea' s first decision was to make an ally with Somalian rebel forces and put Ethiopia into the game of proxy war. It was a perfect strategy that has served well for a while. Since 2006, it has started to coperate with Somalian forces who were fighting to restore peace and order in accordance to Islamic guidelines. When Ethiopia interferred in Somalian Internal Affairs under a cover of an agent of peace keeping force to back up The Transitional Federal Government and protect Somalia from being ruled by "Islamic Courts Union", Eritrea worked with Qatar in organizing rebel forces that fight against the Ethiopia backed federal government of Somalia.
This lead to the creation of Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia. The Alliance created could not work together and the division gave birth of Al-Shabaab militant group. Sooner Al-Shabaab was accused as terrorist group by international community. And it was not secret as it has revealed its alignment with Al-Qaeda in consequent years. As a result Eritrea was accused of arming, training and financing this terrorist group. In 2009, United Nation Security Council(UNSC) imposed sanction over Eritrea. Since then, there are always some fresh allegations that is keeping the sanction in place.
Ally II: Qatar
From the very beginning, Qatar's main interest was to use Eritrea as a path way to Somalia. As a cover, Qatar started some small investments. And when a border dispute occured between Eritrea and Djibouti(2008), Qatar became the sole guarantee of peace keeping mission in a UN backed peace agreement. To avoid military clashes, Qatar sent about 450 peace keeping soldiers in the disputing border area.
In June 2017, the Gulf Crisis affected Eritrea and Qatar relationship. Eritrea sided with forces lead by Saudi Arabia forcing Eritrea to distance from Qatar. Qatar peace keeping forces withdrew from the disputed border.
During the good insane diplomatic years, Qatar was backing Eritrea for its financial needs spent in a proxy war to back rebel forces in Somalia and Ethiopian opposition forces that were stationing in Eritrean territory.
When Qatar learned Eritrea stood with Saudi Arabia lead forces, it ended its relationship with Eritrea without notice and discussion. This brought to an end of 12 years Eritrea – Qatar diplomatic relationship. Though, no country has officially declared for any type of diplomatic rupture, early developments showed that these two countries had ended their relationship.
Ally III: Egypt
After the Gulf crisis, Egypt seems to replace Qatar. Egypt's main interest is Ethiopia's Dam Construction Project. Egypt does not want this dam to be constructed at all. But the possibility of stopping from being finished as planned seems almost impossible. Instead, what Egypt is doing is that it is creating pressure so that Egypt's water needs might not be affected.
To put pressure on Ethiopia, Eritrea is needed most. And Eritrea needs Egyptiance presence to divert Ethiopia's intention that could potentially be directed to the North. To weaken Ethiopia internally, Eritrea needs countries which have interest in Ethiopia for the same mission. Egypt is a perfect choice. As a result, Eritrea is using Egypt as an means of proxy-war with Ethiopia.
Eritrea's main interest is not a secret. It has nothing to do with Egyptian interest. Eritrea's main objective is to use Egypt as a proxy war ally. For the last 26 years, Eritrea and Egypt had no any meaningful diplomatic relationships. It was not needed. And I believe it is not needed now too, especially this kind of insane relationship.
If Egypyt is committed for a sustainable peaceful agreement with Ethiopia, and indeed it needs it badly, no other means is productive than creating a strong diplomatic relationship with Ethiopia and other Nile Countries. Eritrea is just fueling any tension that can occur with Ethiopia no matter with which country it is.
Ethiopia seems not to be intimidated by Egypt to hult its more than century objective of constructing dam in the Nile river. It is for Egypt's advantage if Egypt coperates with Ethiopia technically to avoid serious risk in the future. At the same time, I encourage Egypt to invest in such project so that it can share its responsibility to make the project successfull for all those who benefit from it.
Peace in the horn of Africa is beneficial to Egypt. Egypt should help the horn of Africa to create a peacefull co-existence. Otherwise, Egyptian people will continue to worry for their daily life.

Big Big Train's 2017 album Grimspound debuted at #1 on the UK rock charts in May 2017. It has been nominated for Album of the Year at The Progressive Music Awards this fall in London. The album was recorded at Sweetwater Studios in Fort Wayne, IN—and also in London, UK.
This is the second album Nick D'Virgilio has recorded his drums and vocals with Mark Hornsby at Sweetwater Studios in Fort Wayne, IN. Last year's critically acclaimed Folklore brought home two awards for the band at the 2016 Progressive Music Awards. The band also took home four awards at the 2017 Classic Rock Society Awards—including Best Album for Folklore, and Best Drummer for Nick D'Virgilio.
Big Big Train is a unique concept band in today's music industry—they are selling records, making money, winning awards—and they've only ever played three live shows over one weekend in 2016, which sold out immediately when the shows were announced the previous year.
We talked with drummer Nick D'Virgilio about the collaboration across the Atlantic Ocean and the unique way they record Big Big Train, the songwriting and many musical styles represented in their music, and the honor of being recognized with awards.
How did you become such an integral part of Big Big Train's sound?
Rob Aubrey is a mutual friend of the band. He was the soundman for all the Spock's Beard tours I had done over the years, and we became great friends. Rob also has a commercial studio at his home in Southampton UK. Whenever I was on that side of the pond, Rob would hire me for various sessions. He was already good friends with the boys in Big Big Train and had been making their records for years. Back in 2007, Rob recommended me to the guys for the record The Difference Machine, and a beautiful relationship blossomed. Thanks, Rob.
Tell us about your creative process with these BBT recordings.
They are really good at sending demos with the end goal in mind, so I have something fairly solid to play to. The last few records, I have been able to cut my drums and vocals at Sweetwater Studios with Mark Hornsby at the helm. Before that, I would record with the gang at Rob's studio. I do miss being all together when cutting the tracks, but they send me solid parts—and we are getting great sounds at Sweetwater. Mark and I have a wonderful flow in the studio, so it has all worked out.
Do they provide some direction?
The guys have notes for parts here and there. But the beautiful thing is they let me be creative and do my thing. We have a great feel and vibe together, and it's very easy for me to get deep into the recordings. Some of the parts are very difficult to play, but the challenge is always well worth it.
Are you involved with the songwriting?
I have not been to this point, but the times they are a changin'. (Laughs) We are already planning for the future. I have demos in the queue for the next project. The amazing thing about this band is that they really think ahead—where we all want to be. I do see some songwriting input coming soon.
How do you keep the collaborative sound so cohesive?
Sometimes we Skype, but really we just keep in close contact even with me being in the States, Rikard in Sweden, and everyone else in the UK.
Are there any challenges recording this way?
How does Mark Hornsby (and Sweetwater Studios) help this process?
Mark is the master of sound at Sweetwater, and he knows every square inch of the place. He knows how to manipulate the room to get the best possible sounds for whatever instrument is being recorded. We have an amazing selection of instruments to use—along with world class recording gear and microphones. We've made a ton of records over the years, and just know how to flow—whether the music we are recording is hard or easy. And Mark is a little bit of a Proghead too. (Laughs) He gets that kind of music, and always has good suggestions. He knows how to push me to get my best performance.
How often do you go to the UK/Europe to perform with them?
I am usually there a couple of times a year.
What kind of music did you grow up listening to—your Top 5 favorite albums?
There are many unique things about BBT. The first is that we are proud and unapologetic about the music we make. It is progressive rock. We are not afraid of that moniker. When you get into BBT, you will find plenty of other influences and styles—folk, R&B, singer-songwriter, and many other styles. We really push the envelope, and we have the players and singers to pull it all off. At least that's what I think.
What makes you want to be a part of this amazing band?
I love the way this band is run. From the business side of things, it has been the easiest band I have ever been in—and that includes some of the major acts I have played for. They have the pulse of the fans, and they are super organized, generous and honest. I love it.
Three huge shows this September in London—at Cadogan Hall, and then … more.
Where can new fans of Big Big Train get more info and stay updated?

The Letts Executive was the executive of Majority Leader of the Northern Territory Goff Letts, who led the Northern Territory from the implementation of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly in 1974 until his defeat in his own seat at the 1977 election. It was the first ministry to come from the Legislative Assembly.  He was the only head of government of the Northern Territory not to assume the title of Chief Minister of the Northern Territory, as self-government was not granted until 1978.  His governments did not have anywhere near the range of powers available to Territory governments after the granting of self-government, but nevertheless fulfilled similar functions. Letts' successor as Majority Leader and his one-time deputy, Paul Everingham, became the first Chief Minister in 1978.

Jim Robertson, MLA, while not technically a member of the executive, served as Manager of Government Business throughout this period.

First Executive

The first executive lasted from November 1974 to August 1975, when Deputy Chief Minister Paul Everingham resigned from the executive to focus on his legal practice, and was succeeded as deputy by then-Speaker Bernie Kilgariff.

Second Executive

The second executive served from August to November 1975. It was short-lived, as Bernie Kilgariff, who had replaced Paul Everingham in the executive in August, resigned from the Assembly in November to run for the Australian Senate.

Third Executive

The third executive served from December 1975 to December 1976. Deputy Majority Leader Bernie Kilgariff had resigned in November 1976, requiring a reshuffle of the remaining executive members. In this third executive, Grant Tambling became Deputy Majority Leader and Marshall Perron, a future Chief Minister, was brought into the executive, with several changes also made to the portfolios of other members.

Fourth Executive

The fourth executive lasted from December 1976 to September 1977. It came into existence not because of personnel changes, but as a result of a reshuffle to prepare for the 1977 election. Letts made a short-lived change with this executive, styling its members as "cabinet members" instead of "executive members", which was abandoned when Paul Everingham succeeded Letts as Majority Leader after the election.

This executive was devastated at the 1977 election; five executive members (Goff Letts, Grant Tambling, Liz Andrew, Dave Pollock and Roger Ryan) were among the six Country Liberal Party members to lose their seats. Former Deputy Majority Leader Paul Everingham disbanded his legal practice and returned from the backbenches to replace Letts as Majority Leader, later becoming the first Chief Minister of the Northern Territory, while both surviving members of the last Letts executive, Ian Tuxworth and Marshall Perron, would also later go on to serve as Chief Minister.

Hanalani Schools in Mililani has a new teaching curriculum designed by Apple called, "Everyone Can Create." HI Now host Jobeth Devera spoke with two students and Hanalani teacher and Apple distinguished educator Ben Mountz, who uses the curriculum in his digital storytelling class.
"Everyone Can Create" is a free program that Apple developed for educators to help incorporate digital tools in their classrooms. Mountz's digital storytelling class is an elective course at Hanalani's upper school that teaches students how to use drawing, photography, video and music to tell their stories and share them with the world.
The program also has students using the skills they've learned in other classes, such as robotics. Mountz believes that when students use their creativity, they are more engaged with what they are learning and become better problem solvers, communicators and collaborators.
For those who are interested in the program and want to learn more, the school will be holding an open house on Saturday, February 23. Families can RSVP at hanalani.org.
Nestled on six beautiful acres in Mililani, Hanalani Schools has nurtured, challenged, and prepared students for success in both college and life for over 65 years. Hanalani seeks to enrich the whole child—mentally, physically, and spiritually—and develop successful leaders by offering high-quality programs powered by STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) and built on three foundational pillars: core knowledge, critical skills, and Christian character. The school believes that these three pillars best equip students to become successful leaders in their future careers, communities, and families.
Hanalani Schools describes their approach to teaching core knowledge as Academics Plus. Through this approach, their students develop their academic foundation by focusing on STEAM (STEM + Arts). Students also regularly enjoy off-campus learning in places and events around the island, as well as on trips abroad. Additionally, co-curricular opportunities, especially through various teams— athletics, arts, and activities — provide students with rich life and leadership lesson opportunities. Athletics, drama production stage, and student government headquarters all serve as essential classrooms for developing leadership skills.

Giving Guests a Glimpse of Life in Viking Age

What surprises Icelandic visitors is hearing that people in the Viking Age probable slept sitting, states Sunnefa Lind Þórarinsdóttir, who works at the farm Eiríksstaðir, Dalir, West Iceland, where she tells tourists about the lives and living conditions of the Vikings.
Eiríksstaðir is a replica of the turf house where Erik the Red, father of Leif Erikson, a.k.a Leif the Lucky, lived during the tenth century. Leif the Lucky is believed to have discovered North America around the year 1000.
The longhouse at Eiríksstaðir. Guðmundur Sv. Hermannsson
Sunnefa's job is to tell tourists about the living conditions of the Vikings, the food they cooked, tools they used, etc. When asked by Morgunblaðið how she supports the idea that the Vikings slept sitting, she explains: "Beds have been found the size you see here, 1.3-1.4 meters [4 ft 3 in-4 ft 7 in], and in addition, bones have been discovered showing that people back then were not all that shorter than we are." It is known, she adds, in other cultures, among them in South America and in Nepal, that people used to sleep sitting to make it easier for them to breathe, since there was smoke in their houses from the fire.
Icelanders, too, find it interesting when she tells them that accounts of violence in the Sagas of the Icelanders are most likely rather exaggerated, she states. That assumption she supports by pointing out how few weapons have been discovered by archeologists in Iceland.
A statue of Leif the Lucky, located near the farm, made by sculptor Nína Sæmundsson.
Sunnefa meets her guests dressed in Viking Age attire, leads them into the turf house, or longhouse, and sits down with them by the long-fire. The longhouse first opened in the year 2000.
"We tell people about those who lived here, Erik the Red and his family, and about the way people lived in Iceland in the tenth century – what it was like living in such a house, what the rooms were used for, and what people ate."
Eric the Red and his wife Þjóðhildur Jörundardóttir are believed to have lived at Eiríksstaðir in a longhouse, the foundation of which was discovered near the location of the replica, before they moved to Greenland. Leif, their son, is believed to have been born at Eiríksstaðir.
Sunnefa notes that foreign tourists who visit the farm are very interested in learning about the types of food consumed by the Vikings and oftentimes ask where they can taste such foods. Sunnefa then tells them the traditional food, typically stored in whey, is not available until January or February, but dried fish, skyr, and liver and blood sausages can be purchased in stores.
"This is the most enjoyable job I've ever had," she concludes.

"Tchoupitoulas": The Real, Real New Orleans
By Alan Scherstuhl Wednesday, Jan 2 2013
Roxie Theater
3117 16th St., San Francisco Mission/ Bernal Heights CA 94103
roxie.com
"Tchoupitoulas"
Not Rated. Opens Friday at the Roxie.
While they almost certainly have plans for striking new projects that expand our understanding of what documentaries can be, Bill and Turner Ross — the co-directors, -producers, -camera operators, and -troublemakers behind Tchoupitoulas — could do posterity a service if they simply resigned themselves to replicating this one-night-in-New Orleans documentary for each of the world's great cities.
You know how sometimes, watching an old silent film, you can get caught up in the fleeting glimpses of L.A. or New York street life and yearn for the hurly-burly plot to slow for a breath so that you can savor the scene? Or how invaluable the real-city footage captured by early filmmakers and compiled on collections like the "Picturing a Metropolis" disc of the Unseen Cinema collection feels to us today? The Rosses have captured on film something rare: what a night spent stumbling about New Orleans actually feels like. Here are the street characters; the make-joy-from-thin-air musicians; the spooky, shadowed parks; the tour guide in Jackson Square who insists "Andrew Jackson, the hero of the Battle of New Orleans, was the great-great-great-great-grandfather of Michael Jackson." Here's the way, as you pass tin-ceilinged bars and the stalls of tchotchke-sellers, competing musics muscle in, get pushed out, and sometimes tangle up into something new. Here's that sense of thrilled and weary anticipation that anything can happen at anytime even if you've had enough.
The filmmakers show us a homeless guy hitting a nice woman with a ridiculous come-on, a drag queen's refusal to go home with a fan, burlesque performer Perle Noire in great pastied shimmy and then, touchingly, breathing heavily back stage and sucking on a bottle of water, tired but not displeased with a good night's work. Then there are the fire twirlers: As they whip their flames about, the movie — which alternates between a raw, handheld-camera attentiveness and meditative passages that Groucho Marx might call "strange interludes" — goes fully abstract, the fires going out of focus as we stare, until at last they are flares of abstraction, just pulsing, dancing octagons.
Of course, what can be experienced before one sunrise can hardly be recorded in that same time, especially not with the artistry on display here. So it's little surprise to learn that this loose-limbed doc was actually shot over the course of nine months. The Rosses take "documentary" to mean the documenting of an experience, and are more open about the misrepresentation of space and time for the good of the film than most other practitioners of their craft. Here, in what is no doubt a "documentary," the filmmakers pass off more than half a year's worth of New Orleans street life as the adventures enjoyed by three young boys over the course of a single night out. The boys — William, Bryan, and Kentrell Zanders — aren't actors, and their reactions to the city around them seem real: "This is everything I hoped for!" pipes eager William, the youngest. "Naked pictures, clubs, you know what I mean?"
A scene of that kid running alongside a Mardi Gras parade float and hollering up to its riders for beads is as infectious a depiction of youthful excitement as I've seen in film. Much later, when the three of them (and the unseen cameraman) sneak onto an abandoned riverboat casino, Tchoupitoulas fully captures one of childhood's most exhilarating feelings: the terror/pleasure of creeping around the places no adult would allow. That is especially powerful when, in this rotting palace of chandeliers and hiding places, the kids freeze and listen for footsteps. The light of the camera goes out, and we wait in the dark.
Would the kids have chosen to explore this boat without the egging on of the filmmakers? Would they even have been in its vicinity to consider it? Questions about the literal truth of Tchoupitoulas are thorny and perhaps besides the point. After all, the filmmakers aren't hiding the artifice. Early on, the boys ride over to New Orleans on the Algiers Ferry; before the film is halfway through, they race back to the station to catch the last boat home. They miss it and then mope about, uncertain of what to do: call their folks? Spend the night on the streets? Never do we see them do what, if this were "true," anyone would: Ask for help from the guys with the movie cameras.
If you can get over that meta-factual weirdness, though, the film is rich with pleasures. William occasionally narrates his dreams: Not only will he learn to fly, but he also says, "I'll be the first person with a star on the walk of fame for flying." The Rosses sometimes leave the boys behind and venture off into the nightlife: We see strippers in a dressing room parsing the lyrics of "Iko Iko"; we see a flirtatious oyster shucker joke with the sweetest of old women that shellfish "is gonna make you rock and roll, baby." She sniffs back, "I'm not worried about that."
The Rosses offer little context. There's no talk of Katrina or the city's class and racial divides or why sometimes the film is set during Mardi Gras and other times it isn't. There's just New Orleans and a trio of likable kids, trooping through it, finding every marvel.

Even for the best Direct-To-Garment printers, maintenance is key. For any DTG machine to perform its best, you must understand your shop conditions. Knowing how different factors affect your DTG print lets you produce the best looking t-shirts.
One of the biggest investments you can make in your screen printing business is an automatic screen printing machine. Making the jump from a manual t-shirt printing press to an automatic will give you instant results.
One of the most necessary pieces of screen printing equipment for any screen printer is a good screen printing flash cure unit. A flash, also called a spot cure, helps every printing company achieve better screen printed t-shirts.
Whether you are a starting a new screen printing business, or silk screening at home, there can be an overwhelming amount of information out there on the internet about how to screen printing. All screen printers have to get their start somewhere.
While t-shirts are one of the most popular garments for screen printing, you might get asked to print on hoodies, sweatshirts or fleeces. These non t-shirt garments might have buttons, zippers, or seams directly where you want to screen print.
Every screen printer wants their print look its best. When a screen print shop produces a good looking printed t-shirt it not only helps with repeat business, but can attract new clients. Producing fantastic looking shirts requires multiple things.


That's the AmeriCorps tagline that caught my attention big time today, when it came to me as part of a friend's email signature (she's an AmeriCorps staff member). The recruitment tagline is strong — short, sweet and memorable. Keep it in mind as a model.
Alas, I can't find this messaging anywhere on the AmeriCorps Web site. My recommendation to the communicators at AmeriCorps — which targets both prospective volunteers and community-based organization hosts — you've got something really strong here. Use this messaging broadly and consistently to raise awareness of what the Corps is, grab attention, build the AmeriCorps brand, and motivate inquires and, eventually, sign ups.
Read more here on how your nonprofit can benefit from the right email signature.

There have been thousands of tributes and stories posted today regarding the passing of Blues great B.B. King. Likely a tribute from someone outside the popular music industry will go unnoticed. One from a classical music conductor and college educator is certainly apt to be lost in the shuffle. But considering his legacy today, I am nonetheless inspired to write a few thoughts about how a musician like B.B. King can serve as one of the best teachers for musicians of any genre.
Certainly there is no need here to list the myriad of accomplishments and influences that Mr. King had on the music industry for the past 60+ years. And while, King lacked the movie-star looks of Elvis Presley or the blazing technique of Jerry Lee Lewis, I'd argue that he has perhaps had more influence worldwide and across a broader spectrum than his more flashy colleagues. Blues, jazz, country and rock musicians regularly mention how influential he was to the development of their individual style.
His electrifying presence was felt on the music itself. What B.B. King had, and the reason every musician should listen to his playing, was an ability to communicate. Not with outer charisma or flashy stage presence, but through musical gesture. With music. Through music. And for music. His innovation lies in his ability to play chamber music, the most useful skill any musician can have.
It is instructive to listen to B.B. King play alongside other great musicians. But perhaps it is more enlightening to realize that he had the unusual ability to play chamber music with himself. One of his trademarks was, of course, his guitar and her namesake song, Lucille. The personal approach to every note provided B.B. King the ability to have a conversation with himself, not merely accompanying himself, but improvising a conversation and developing a story though music.
But can classical musicians can also learn from this approach? A former Associate Concertmaster with the Utah Symphony and violinist with the Boston Symphony, and respected music teacher Gerald Elias thinks so. His social media post this morning gave clear instructions to his students. And as a respected author as well, Jerry knows a thing or two about communication.
Sure, B.B. King was just playing basic blues scales, and altering them in interesting ways. But he was also making new music with each riff. Composing on the fly. A lively, rapturous creation with each progression. Though he was playing the Blues, one can hear the joy bursting forth.
Can a classical violinist do the same in a series of Carl Flesch Scale Studies, or perhaps use it as inspiration to devise a new cadenza for a concerto? Can the very methods that B.B. King perfected be used to open a new energy in classical performance while staying true to the roots of our traditions–just as King did with the Blues? I'd have to say it is worth a shot. Apparently, so do others. Yo-Yo Ma has branched out, as has Joshua Bell, Richard Stoltzman and many others. Their results have been quite attractive. And now they provide a new thread for us to experience. We must listen with discernment to all of the greats, all traditions, whatever the style may be. New possibilities lie just around the corner.
I never had the good fortune to hear B.B. King live. As close as I got was eating at his place in Memphis (see picture above). His music has inspired me to listen deeper, more critically and more joyfully. And thankfully, he leaves that legacy for all of us through his music. Now it's our turn.
Thanks, Mr. King. Rest in Peace.
They don't pay me enough to do that.
I'm an ARTIST. I shouldn't have to be involved in THAT.
While we are busy complaining about why we shouldn't get involved in our own professional world (and watching news coverage of other events we are happy to be removed from) it is instructive to remember that some people are faced with a much different reality. For some, the choice of whether or not to get involved is a response beyond a personal need, and in fact produces far greater benefit.
Many of us seem to enjoy quibbling at the minutiae of our careers; things we can't really do much about, like the temperature of the concert hall stage or less than ideal acoustics. We should remember, however, that we often do so from the comfort of our own complacency. Complaining about things and shifting blame is arguably human nature, but it also has become something we mindlessly aspire to in our comfortable lives. Actually doing something positive about a problem is an apparent rarity.
Kudos to the Baltimore Symphony and conductor Marin Alsop for doing something this past week. They took a step towards healing amidst a volatile situation in Baltimore. Alsop and the BSO provided an outdoor concert for the city, just a few days after the unrest began. They did something for the community. No telling how effective it was, but it certainly was a statement in the right direction: Things that truly matter will continue. The citizens responded with enthusiasm. (I might add, with better attendance than professional sports).
We are fortunate that so few of us need take real risks to make an artistic statement. My colleague, Karim Wasfi, has been faced with the question of how to take action in his particular reality. Maestro Wasfi is the conductor of the Iraqi National Symphony Orchestra and is a professional cellist. In the face of very real, life-threatening danger, Karim and others like him continue to make affirmations about what is truly worthy, thus insuring that the concepts of humanity and beauty remain a part of the conversation.
Maestro Wasfi, not one to back away from the challenge of presenting classical music in a war-torn country, has made an effort to not be cowed by the threat. While he is undoubtedly careful, surely a survival trait in such a place, Wasfi does what every maestro and musician should do: insure beauty exists in the world. Whatever it takes.
Responding to conflict with music. History is seemingly repeating itself.
Music as Action in Iraq. Music as Action in Baltimore. Now let us question why we are not doing the same in our relatively safer communities. The opportunity for leadership surely exists. As does the talent. And, I'll wager, the need.

SELECTION SEASON 2019 | A seriously super Saturday (with a little something on a Sunday)
By Jaz, February 16, 2019
Knock knock, who's there? It's Saturday again, duh!
When you're living for the weekends like I do during national final season, it's a blessing for this day of the week to come around so quickly. And boy, does it have a lot to love on this occasion. Here's everything happening tonight:
Croatia Dora, final
Estonia Eesti Laul, final
Hungary A Dal, semi final 2
Iceland Söngvakeppnin, semi final 2
Latvia Supernova, final
Lithuania Eurovizijos Atranka, semi final 2
Portugal Festival da Canção, semi final 1
Slovenia EMA, final
Sweden Melodifestivalen, semi final 3
Ukraine Vidbir, semi final 2
I know what you're thinking: 'Is that all?'. But don't worry, tomorrow night we also have:
Romania Selecția Națională, final
Do the math on this list of NFs, and you'll find that Saturday + Sunday = FIVE more songs for Tel Aviv. And isn't it about time? We've waited long enough to get into double digits.
I'm not about to preview/predict all of the above NF action, since I don't want to send you (or myself) to sleep. I will make a quick wishlist for the countries I won't be covering though, so listen up universe: Croatia can give me Brutalero or Redemption, Estonia Storm, Latvia Somebody's Got My Lover or Fire, and Slovenia Kaos. Oh, and if Portugal could send Calema through as well as Conan (so I can figure out what the heck I actually think of Telemóveis) that'd be awesome.
Now, if you want to chat in-depth about Hungary, Sweden and Romania, you came to the right place.
It's the second last Saturday of A Dal decision-making, after last week's first semi final saw Acoustic Planet, Bence Vavra, The Middletonz (WOOHOO!) and Petruska (smaller woohoo!) make the final cut. Obviously there's another hurdle for them to jump over in the final itself – making the all-important top four from which 100% televote will determine the winner – but qualifying to next weekend's showdown is what everyone wants to do, and those guys have done it. Now there's just four spots left for the taking, and nine acts after them. Let the (probably heartbreaking) battle begin!
Kedves Világ! Timi Antal feat. Gergő Demko
Kulcs Fatal Error
Egyszer Mocsok 1 Kölykök
A Remény Hídjai Nomad
Hozzád Bújnék Gergő Oláh
Az Én Apám Joci Pápai
Holnap Bogi Nagy
Forró Ruby Harlem
Madár, Repülj! Gergő Szekér
You guys know how obsessed I am with A Dal this year, and though I've lost some favourites along the way (JUSTICE FOR VILÁGÍTÓTORONY!) a few more are still in the running and competing in this semi. On the other hand, some of my least favourites are here too, and I'm hoping they'll be among the sacrificial songs of the night.
Let's start with the good stuff and work our way through to what will actually happen in Hungary this week, IMO.
My top four In random order, Hozzád Bújnék, Az Én Apám, Holnap and Madár, Repülj! Gergő Oláh is a perennial top pick of mine, and although Hozzád Bújnék is no Győz a Jó, it is a ballistic missile of a ballad that he – pardon my French in advance – sings the shit out of. My beloved Joci is back with a bang (well, more of a gentle tap on the door, but it's beautiful and impactful nonetheless) and all the raw emotion required to sell such a unique ethno-ballad. Bogi is also armed with a gentle ballad, and the crystal-clear fragility of her voice takes it to another level (though the melody is worth mentioning too). As for Gergő No. 2, which is nothing like Mambo No. 5…well, I wasn't sure how I felt about Madár, Repülj! at first, but I LOVE it now. It's distinctive and dramatic without being throwback or an ultra cutting-edge track, and that makes it interesting.
My prediction Given that we know the results of all the heats and semis so far – an A Dal tradition that I enjoy and dislike at the same time – it makes guessing tonight's final four qualifiers easier. There are five heat winners in this semi alone, however, with some acts having tied FTW. And in the case of Joci and Bogi, who finished equal 1st in the third heat, you cannot separate them – they both scored the same from the jury and from the public. I'm going to give Joci the edge based on his previous history though (and I better not be jinxing him by doing so). Fatal Error stormed to victory in their heat (somehow) so I'd say they were safe finalists…not that they've had to compete against any of tonight's other acts until now. I'm also thinking that Gergő Oláh and Gergő Szekér have a good chance of advancing, since they also tied for the win in their heat. If there's a wildcard who makes it out of this semi, I think it will be Bogi in place of Gergő Oláh (heaven forbid) or Joci (heaven forbid even more). But I'm locking in my final four as follows: Fatal Error, Gergő Oláh, Gergő Szekér and Joci Pápai. There's a whole lot of testosterone there and I am not mad about it.
Who would you put money on to make it through to the A Dal final?
How can we be onto the THIRD Melfest semi already? Granted, the second one was a blur for me since I was busy attending Australia Decides at the time (check out my Aussie NF diary here if you haven't yet) but I'm still shocked. Maybe it's because – and I hate to say this – the 2019 comp has been a bit of a non-event, at least in terms of the entries (the hosts/interval acts have been fantastisk). Nothing has jumped out at me so far and screamed 'Winner!' of Melfest, let alone of Eurovision. Will that change this week with these seven songs?
Somebody Wants Lovers of Valdaro
Habibi Dolly Style
Låt Skiten Brinna Martin Stenmarck
Victorious Lina Hedlund
Om Om Och Om Igen Omar
Who I Am Rebecka Karlsson
Norrsken Jon Henrik Fjällgren
Based on snippets, no, that's not going to change. I'm not saying I hate everything on offer here, but there's a thread of 'good but not great' running through the entire line-up that worries me. And yes, I'm even referring to the much-anticipated Norrsken when I say that. But I'll give this not-quite-magnificent seven the chance to win me over with cracking live performances.
My top four Somebody Wants, Habibi, Om Om Och Om Igen and Who I Am. The Lovers of Valdaro (feat. the guy who wore the heels in Moldova's Eurovision 2018 performance) are the wildcards from Svensktoppen Nästa, and though I doubt they'll outdo SMILO's record of 5th place in a semi (being the highest finish for a Svensktoppen-chosen act), I am digging the beat and production of their song – it should make a great show opener. Habibi is my guilty pleasure and honestly, has the only chorus I could remember after I first listened to the snippets. I like the deviation from bubblegum pop to a more exotic Middle Eastern flavour for Sweden's version of The Sugababes (because they change members so often, HA HA HA).
Is It just me, or is that Kim Kardashian in the pink wig?
Omar definitely has the better song of the FO & O boys competing this year (RIP Oscar Enestad from the running) even if it is a mixed-language copycat of Side To Side/In My Cabana/Woman Like Me. Pop music is derivative, that's just how the cookie crumbles – and I can't wait to hear this spiced-up version all the way through. Who I Am rounds out my favourites list based on everything but the lyrics, which are so clichéd I have a hard time excusing it. Still, the power-pop style of the song and Rebecka's vocal abilities are enough to keep me rooting for her.
My prediction This is a hard one. Last week proved that anything is possible and that the odds are not always correct (in a good way – go Malou!) so I'm not even going to use them as a guide for my guesses. I do happen to know that Jon Henrik is sitting pretty at the top and is as guaranteed of a place in the final as one can be, so NO-BRAINER ALERT. I believe in Rebecka's potential to also go straight to Friends Arena, or to Andra Chansen at least. Dolly Style are in the mix after winning the audience poll, but I can't imagine – especially after seeing a shot of their staging – that they'll place in the top two. For me the last spot is for either Omar (hopefully) or more likely Lina based on her pedigree and the Jessica Andersson effect. Victorious ain't no Party Voice, but it's just what you'd expect from one third of Alcazar and that might well be enough. To sum up, I think it's Jon Henrik Fjällgren/Rebecka Karlsson DTF, and Dolly Style/Lina Hedlund to AC. But feel free to surprise me (again) Sweden.
Which acts will go where in this Melfest deltävling? Let me know what you think in the comments!
Disclaimer: Normally I'd just be discussing Saturday night here, but Romania has inconveniently scheduled their final on a Sunday again (Ester Peony pun not intended, but a declaration of love for her song is coincidentally coming up) and I've got to talk about it. In amongst the 12 finalists there is a lot of cookie cutter music, but there's also a handful of songs so good that I couldn't stay quiet. Place your bets.
Renegades Linda Teodosiu
Right Now Olivier Kaye
Dear Father Laura Bretan
Skyscraper Teodora Dinu
We Are The Ones Claudiu Mirea
Your Journey Aldo Blaga
On A Sunday Ester Peony
Daina Letiția Moisescu and Sensibil Balkan
Army of Love Bella Santiago
Destin Trooper
Without You (Sin Ti) Dya & Lucian Colareza
Underground Vaida
Selecția Națională isn't usually one of my go-to NFs, and for those of you who do adore it, sorry – I haven't suddenly become its number one fan. But like I said, a few SN 2019 songs have caught my attention based on their potential to do very well at Eurovision, and/or how jaw-dropping it was to find them in the Romanian selection to start with.
My favourites Dear Father, On A Sunday, Daina and Army of Love. Laura Bretan is a pocket rocket with form on America's Got Talent, and watching her semi performance of Dear Father had me shook. There's something special in this song, and it has great build. Of all my top picks it is my least loved, but it's the most likely to kick butt on behalf of Romania in Tel Aviv. My most-loved in this line-up is On A Sunday, which is like a musical love child of Ann Sophie's Black Smoke and Alannah Myles' Black Velvet. It turns out those are good genes to combine. It's a song so slick and moody, I can't believe it's not competing somewhere in Scandinavia. Ester is flawless live and I wish she was more of a contender.
Daina is Romania doing what I miss Romania doing. They could have sent it to Eurovision in 2005, 2011 or 2018 and it wouldn't have made a difference (not to me, anyway). Will they send it in 2019? Not a chance, but it's a killer – not filler – addition to the final. Speaking of which…where there's smoke there's Fuego, and Bella's Army of Love is such a Fuego soundalike that the smoke is stinging my eyes. My ears are all for it though, because it is a banger! Empowering lyrics, ethnic instrumentals and a rap verse in Tagalog make for a rip-off I'd welcome into this year's ESC family with open arms.
My prediction As much as I'd like to believe there are multiple contenders for this NF, I think the winner has already been signed, sealed and delivered straight through the window she's shattered with one of her sky-high operatic notes. I mean Laura, of course. Personally I'd prefer Bella, but when I watch Laura's performance there's more than one point where I think 'This is unbeatable.' The song might not be the greatest to my tastes, but she makes it great and gives me goosebumps in the process. I said this about Kate Miller-Heidke last weekend and I'll say it again now: If this girl doesn't win I'll be flabbergasted. If she does, I'll be grateful that Australia isn't in the same semi as Romania.
Whew…aren't you glad I drew the line at discussing three countries? I'm done now, so if you have any thoughts or predictions for tonight that you need to get off your chest, my comments box is empty and waiting for you to throw stuff into it.
Who's going to win? Who's going to get knocked out? Will there be curveballs or will the bookies' favourites follow through? Wherever it's happening and whatever your opinion is, I'm ready to hear about it. My response will be more polite if you agree with me though…
See you on the other side of this super Saturday/fun-sized Sunday!

Woods and Whiley become joint owners of Scout
10th June, 2019 by Melita Kiely
Bartender Rich Woods has acquired an "equal stake" in London bar Scout, joining forces with Matt Whiley as co-partner, co-owner and co-cocktail conspirator of the venue.
Rich Woods has become a joint owner of London cocktail bar Scout with founder Matt Whiley
Scout relocated from its initial Shoreditch location to a new Hackney site in September last year, which included the opening of a new basement space, called Gold Tooth.
Woods and Whiley will now also run a joint consultancy business. This follows the launch of the pair's drinks, creative and design agency earlier this year, called Weapons and Toys (WAT).
"Matt is one of the industry's most modest individuals," said Woods. "Bags of creativity, a unique vision and individualism in every stride.
"The more we've worked together on projects the greater my admiration, respect and appreciation has grown for his abundantly great ideas, and I'm ready to see what we can achieve with Scout and future brands."
Scout's sustainability ethos will continue, and the bar has pledged to only use goods sourced from the British Isles.
The duo has already started designing a new cocktail menu for Scout, which is "set to launch imminently". It has been given the title 'Eco Systems', and will be separated into three key sections with four or five cocktails each: Metropolis and City, Oceans and Streams, and Woodlands and Forest.
The bar's food offering will follow the same sustainable ethos, featuring a short snacks menu and a selection of main dishes.
Whiley added: "Rich and I share a dynamic bond. Both driven and passionate, yet laid back, we work in incredibly similar ways but bring wildly different, creative ideas to the table, and that's set to bring an extra spark to Scout.
"Rich constantly pushes those around him to be better at their craft and I'm really looking forward to the next step in the journey of Scout alongside him."

The Bangladesh government loses its appeal against the High Court verdict that termed the 16th amendment to the Constitution, which gave Parliament the power to remove Supreme Court judges, "illegal and unconstitutional".
The Supreme Court of Bangladesh recently scrapped a constitutional amendment that gave the country's Parliament the power to remove Supreme Court judges for incompetence or misconduct. Many welcomed the apex court's verdict as one that restored the independence of the judiciary, while others pointed to the embarrassment it had caused the legislature, which passed the amendment unanimously in 2014 and in effect restored Bangladesh's original Constitution of 1972.
A seven-member full bench of the Appellate Division led by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha pronounced the verdict on July 3, after hearing the government's appeal for 11 days. The views of as many as 12 amici curiae were sought—nine opposed the amendment, two did not turn up, and one supported the amendment.
Manzill Murshid, the lawyer for the public interest litigation (PIL) writ petition filed by nine Supreme Court lawyers against the 16th amendment, termed the verdict "a landmark for the establishment of the independence of the judiciary". Attorney General Mahbebey Alam expressed his dismay at the verdict, while the country's Law Minister Anisul Huq said that the government would decide the next course of action after getting the copy of the judgment.
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the main opposition now outside Parliament, and lawyers supporting it welcomed the judgment by distributing sweets. The BNP's Joint Secretary General, Mahbub Uddin Khokon, also the secretary of the Supreme Court Bar Association, alleged that the 16th amendment had been enacted by the Sheikh Hasina government to establish "political control" over Supreme Court judges.
In May 2016, the High Court had ruled that the 16th amendment was "illegal and unconstitutional", as it went against the principles of the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary. The amendment, in effect, abolished the Chief Justice-led Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) which had the power to remove a Supreme Court judge after following due process and vested that power in Parliament as in the original Constitution of 1972.
The arguments during the hearing of the appeal and the High Court's observation made it clear that Article 70 of the Bangladesh Constitution, which prevents MPs from working independently, largely contributed to the amendment illegal being declared illegal. "Keeping Article 70 of Bangladesh Constitution as it is, the members of parliament must toe the party line in case of removal of any judge of the Supreme Court. Consequently, the judge will be left at the mercy of the party high command," read the High Court verdict delivered by Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury and Justice Quazi Reza-Ul Hoque.
The judges continued: "As regards Article 70 of the Constitution of Bangladesh, we must say that this Article has fettered the members of parliament. It has imposed a tight rein on them. Members of parliament cannot go against their party line or position on any issue in the parliament…. They have no freedom to question their party's stance in parliament, even if it is incorrect. They cannot vote against their party's decision…. They are, indeed, hostages in the hands of their party high command."
Article 70 of the Constitution says: "A person elected as a member of parliament at an election at which he was nominated as a candidate by a political party shall vacate his seat if he resigns from that party; or votes in parliament against that party; but shall not thereby be disqualified for subsequent election as a member of parliament."
The government of Bangladesh tried to defend Article 70 saying that the provision itself had come into being amid allegations of "horse-trading" reported in different countries.
History of scrapped amendments
This is the fifth verdict of the apex court in which it has scrapped amendments to the Constitution. The other scrapped amendments include the fifth amendment relating to martial law regime in 1975-1979, the seventh amendment relating to the martial law regime of the deposed dictator General H.M. Ershad, the eighth amendment relating to the establishment of High Court benches in different divisions and the 13th amendment relating to the introduction of a national election-time caretaker government.
Bangladesh's original Constitution of 1972 empowered Parliament to remove Supreme Court judges. But the fourth amendment to the Constitution in 1975 scrapped Parliament's power and empowered the President to do so. Later, in 1978, the military dictator General Ziaur Rahman curtailed the President's power and introduced the SJC comprising the Chief Justice and two senior-most judges. It was ratified and validated by the fifth amendment to the Constitution in 1979 when Ziaur Rahman was President.
Now that the amendment has been scrapped, the question is whether the previous system of the Chief Justice-led SJC will automatically be reinstated, thus restoring authority to the SJC.
According to Attorney General Mahbubey Alam, the judgment resulted in "a vacuum". The SJC cannot be automatically restored by the court, he maintained. However, the senior lawyer M. Amir-Ul Islam, one of those involved in the framing of the Constitution, said that the SJC would automatically be restored following the cancellation of the amendment.
Separation of the judiciary is one of the fundamental principles of state policy and the independence of the judiciary is one of the basic tenets of the original Constitution of Bangladesh. Considered a result of the Liberation War, Article 22 of the Constitution says: "The state shall ensure the separation of the judiciary from the executive organs of the state." On the contrary, the independence of the judiciary has been undermined on several occasions through constitutional amendments enacted during the two martial law regimes under General Ziaur Rahman and General H.M. Ershad. The judiciary was officially separated from the executive branch of the government only in 2007, following a Supreme Court verdict.
Most civil society leaders welcomed the Supreme Court's verdict, saying it had "finally reinstated" the fundamental scheme of the Constitution that keeps the power between organs of the state separate. They were of the view that the removal of the 16th amendment would uphold the original character of the Constitution by ensuring a judiciary that would work in unison with the executive but at the same time be independent of it.
Senior Ministers and MPs from both the Treasury and opposition benches were critical of the verdict. Taking part in a parliamentary debate on the issue, the MPs urged the government to take a realistic decision on the issue and hoped that the Supreme Court would restore the 16th amendment once the government filed a review petition against the verdict.
Many of the MPs termed the verdict "unexpected" and said the Supreme Court had to prove how MPs had "challenged the basic structure" of the Constitution by passing the amendment. Their argument was, if Parliament had the power to impeach the President of the republic, the Speaker and the Prime Minister, then why could it not impeach Supreme Court judges for misconduct or incapacity? They also voiced concerns about the SJC system and asked how subordinate judges could try allegations brought against the Chief Justice, or how Supreme Court judges could judge their own misbehaviour and irregularities.
Citing examples, the veteran politician and senior Minister Matia Chowdhury said a judge had circulated leaflets urging a halt to the nation's war crimes trial but the SJC did not deem it improper behaviour. Another judge had forged his LLB certificate, but the SJC saw no irregularities.
Some leading members of the ruling Awami League and its alliance partners, including the Workers Party and the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal, alleged that there were forces trying to create "a conflict" between Parliament and the judiciary. Many MPs saw the Appellate Division verdict as "motivated" and "part of a conspiracy".
Bangladesh is scheduled to have general elections in the next one-and-a-half years, and the Sheikh Hasina government may not want a conflict with the judiciary at this stage. But the questions raised by leading MPs will continue to be debated, in Parliament and outside it.

This year's Regionals meet was an unbelievable one for the Rails! In this "one day, one shot" meet to determine state qualifiers, the Rails competed in a big way to earn several spots to state!
The divers started things off Thursday by qualifying two for state diving. While Saturday was the swimmers time to shine as they raced for new personal best times, podium spots and to swim at state.
And all the teams in Iowa definitely brought their "A" game, as evidenced by the state cut times! The trend of faster and faster cut times continues, with several events having the fastest cut time in state history.
The girls arrived early to Lincoln for their first warm-up of the day and breakfast on the road. Before long, they were in the water at the Marshalltown YMCA, decked out in their fastskin suits and Halloween drag suits to warm-up a second time. The girls looked fast and focused in the water.
The meet started off with a bang! The medley relay broke the school record and dropped to a 1:52.72. From there the girls just kept rolling! The distance girls dropped over 40 seconds in the 500 Free alone! Chloe Marquis set two school records in the 100 Fly and 100 Back and qualified to State in both events. Catherine Dooley moved up to 2nd All-Time in the 100 Breaststroke with her time of 1:11.24 and earned a spot on the podium. Ellie Sizemore earned an individual medal for her 500 Free swim (5th place). Plus – all three relays earned podium spots too.
The Rails finished in third place overall. The meet ended with the girls having 100% time improvements, dropping around 3% as a team (over 99 total seconds!), set 11 Top 5 All-Time records (15 this season!), which includes breaking six school records. The Rails also earned their highest power ranking in team history of 1595 points and finished around 15th (not all teams have updated their final rankings as of publishing).
Below are highlights from the meet. We've tried to recognize everyone's outstanding performances. In fact, every time posted below is a personal best time for high school swimming (even if not specifically noted).
The Medley Relay (Marquis, Dooley, Zaugg, Snow) qualified for State with their record-breaking time of 1:52.72!
Dooley split the second fastest 50 Breaststroke time in the entire regional.
Josie Helm's 200 Free time of 2:12.83 (-6 seconds) and 500 Free time of 5:58.12 (-13 seconds) were both personal bests!
Kalani Mangin took 2nd in her heat in the 100 Free and swam a new PB time of 58.23, dropping 2.74 seconds!
Grace Crady dropped 15 seconds in her 500 Free to 5:40.00!
Courtney Meyer and Ella Worth dropped to personal times in the 100 Back to a 1:09.60 and a 1:11.58 respectively.
Below are just a few of the photos from the meet. View all of the photos from a meet on the swim team's Shutterfly website. Just log-in.
Don't forget to check out the some tips and tricks for the State meet, including the new option to buy tickets online!
Team Banquet, Monday Nov. 6th: Following the State Meet weekend, the team banquet will be held in the LHS Commons. The banquet is for all team members and their families. Baratta's will be catering the meal and we just ask that each family bring $5/per person to help cover the cost of the meal. The team banquet is a chance to celebrate another successful season, hand out letters and team awards, while sharing off-season plans and expectations. The girls typically dress up and take a ton of pictures too.


Design-build firms handle every aspect of creating your custom home, from the initial design to the final finishings. We serve as architects, engineers, and builders, streamlining the process from start to finish.
Overall project costs are lower vs. design-bid-build.
You work exclusively with one company, not two or three.
For mid-project changes, only one phone call is needed.
Designers and builders are always on the same page because they work as a team - the home that is built will be true to the designer's vision.
Projects are completed more quickly.
Design-build is actually not new, but only in the last few decades have the benefits been widely understood. Historically, the process of building a custom home involved multiple steps and multiple companies. An architect and engineer would design the home, and then the plans would go out to bid in search of a contractor to do the construction. This process is what's known as design-bid-build.
The problem with design-bid-build is that the architect, engineer and builder might not all be on the same page. You have to hope that the builder understands the vision and can execute it, which is not always the case. Because you're dealing with two or more companies, the process involves more hassle, and the project costs more because you're paying for two or three sets of overhead, not one.
The convenience and cost savings associated with the design-build process have led to huge growth in the industry. By 2015, 55 percent of projects will be design-build, compared to just 35 percent design-bid-build, Engineering News Record predicts. The commercial sector was first to jump on this trend, but residential is catching up.
Contrary to what some people think, custom homes by design-build firms are not simpler and less sophisticated than those designed by an architect and constructed by a separate builder. At Domus, we can design just about any home you can imagine.
The process begins with an initial consultation. We'll sit down with you to find out exactly what you're looking for, and explain how to execute it. Over the course of our initial meetings, we'll work closely with you to understand your taste and lifestyle needs. Once we have a better idea of what you want, we can offer a cost estimate.
Throughout the design process, you can be as involved as you'd like, from making decisions about the layout to selecting kitchen appliances and crown moldings. This is your dream home, and we want it to be exactly what you imagined.
There are many great design-build firms, but we like to think our approach sets us apart. We pride ourselves on excellent client communications, quality craftsmanship, and a straightforward and honest approach to pricing. Much of our business comes from referrals, so it's important that every client is thrilled with not just the product, but the process.
