Law school alum played key role in civil rights movement in Florida
BY SOPHIE TORCELLO / VN SPECIAL WRITER
As part of a Constitution Day celebration, Detroit Mercy history professor Dr. Roy E. Finkenbine highlighted the contributions of an unsung civil rights worker who sometimes worked with Martin Luther King Jr. and also is one of the university's alums.
The late Robert W. Saunders, who attended University of Detroit Law School in the 1950s, spent nearly 40 years fighting for civil rights in the South, Finkenbine said in a Sept. 14 lunchtime talk.
Born in 1921, Saunders was raised in Tallahassee, Florida, where he was exposed to the racial injustices of the Jim Crow era. He made it to Detroit decades later before heading back to Florida.
"When you left the South, it was almost like moving countries," said Dr. Finkenbine. "Everything was segregated: education, public places, public transport, restrooms and drinking fountains. Even if you were white and disagreed with this, you still had to abide by it because it was state law."
The National Assocation for the Advancement of Colored People, also known as the NAACP, was important in giving African-Americans a voice for political justice.
Saunders gradually became involved with the NAACP as his education progressed.
In 1941, he attended Bethune Cookman College in Florida. The following year, he was drafted into World War II. He worked in aviation maintenance until he was discharged in 1946, said Finkenbine.
Following the war, Saunders decided that he wanted to move to Detroit to complete his education. He graduated from the Detroit Institute of Technology, which no longer exists, with a bachelor's degree in liberal arts.
In the summer of 1951, Saunders enrolled in U of D law school, completing just one year. The pressure of school and supporting his family led to his decision to dedicate more time to the NAACP.
The NAACP was used after the war by African-American soldiers who became tired of the racist attitudes following their return, said Finkenbine.
This increased the organization's support, presenting the opportunity to aggressively challenge Jim Crow laws, he said.
Saunders' role in the NAACP took a turn when the secretary of the organization, Harry Moore, was assassinated on Christmas night in 1951 by the Ku Klux Klan. Moore's death motivated Saunders to leave law school and accept a formal position with the NAACP.
From 1952 to 1965, Saunders served as field director for the NAACP in Florida and became a leading voice for African-Americans during the Civil Rights Movement. He helped in the fight to overturn "separate but equal" laws, and contributed to many successful legal cases involving segregation in education, transportation and voting rights.
He worked alongside important figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and future U.S. Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall.
Saunders was offered and accepted the position of chief of civil rights for equal opportunity by the federal government in Atlanta, retiring in 1988.
Professor Kyle Langvardt of Detroit Mercy Law School was among those attending Dr. Finkenbine's talk.
"Even though the laws of Jim Crow no longer exist, this does not mean that segregation has been eradicated from society. Separate is never equal," he said.
Another member of Detroit Mercy's faculty voiced her disappointment at the small crowd attending the speech, emphasizing that the story of Saunders' contribution to the Civil Rights Movement is important to the university and needs to be heard.
Finkenbine's talk was part of a series.
For the next installment, Harvard University's Anna-Lisa Cox will be at Detroit Mercy on Oct. 19 to discuss her book "The Bone and Sinew in the Land," which addresses African-American settlement in the nineteenth century.

Finding the best varmint rifle can be a challenge. But if you have a good idea of how these rifles work and what they are used for, then the search process won't be so difficult.

What is a Varmint Rifle and What is it Used For?
A varmint rifle is a kind of rifle used for the purpose of hunting varmint or small, invasive critters. Typically, they are not just used for hunting but they can be used for property management. For example, if you have varmints or small animals that tend to damage your property, you can use a rifle to get rid of them and possibly prevent future damage.
Can Any Rifle Be Used For Varmint Hunting?
The answer is no. One of the major reasons is simple. Some rifles may be too powerful for varmint hunting. The last thing you want to do is fire off a rifle that is powerful enough to blow a varmint off the face of the earth. Thankfully, the rifles we chose ensure that none of them have too much power for the purpose of warding them off.
Why Did These Rifles Make Our List?
We didn't choose these rifles at complete random. We managed to choose them based on some of the characteristics and features that made them stand out. On top of that, the overall performance of the rifles themselves provided a strong-enough case of why they belong. Here are a few additional reasons:
Affordable in Price
Whether you are on a budget or if you have money to play with, you're bound to find the rifle that matches your personal needs and preferences. However, you should abide by this rule: find the best quality and performance you can afford. This way you won't sacrifice quality for the sake of saving yourself a few dollars.
If you want something that is built to last and won't wear and tear so easily, then you're going to need a rifle made from high-quality materials. The thing about materials like steel, aluminum, or polymer (among others) is that they are proven to take on all kinds of beatings, multiple amounts of shock, and other elements that may otherwise damage poor-quality materials. But don't let that translate into neglecting your rifle. You should always clean it on a regular basis.
Wide Variety of Choices
By a wide variety, we mean we have thrown in a mix of different rifles great for varmint hunting. Some of them use live ammo while others are air rifles. The similarity between the two is power. They are both powerful enough to knock down varmints easily. One difference that is a no-brainer to point out, is safety. It's better to use an airsoft rifle in a suburban neighborhood than it is to fire off an AR-15 with neighbors nearby when ridding your property of varmints.
Quick Take | Best Varmint Rifles
Just looking for the top three best varmint rifles? Here they are:
Remington 700 SPS Varmint 223 Rem 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle
Review of the Best Varmint Rifles
The following is a list of the seven best varmint rifles currently on the market. While going through the list, you'll want to make a note of any features and characteristics that pique your interest. If you have a good idea of what your ideal varmint rifle looks like (and how it operates), you'll find one of the seven to be a good match. Close enough is always better than nothing at all.
With that said, let's begin by taking a look at the best overall choice on our list:
Best Overall:
Remington 700 SPS Varmint 223 Rem 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle
Powerful shooting
Reduced recoil right out of the box
Superior durability and construction
Sling swivels are strong and can allow for most slings
Shoots with precision and accuracy at various distances
May be a bit too loud for some users
Can be a challenge to use without any kind of sight attached
Disassembly can be a challenge at first (for maintenance purposes)
What Recent Buyers Report
Most new buyers were quite happy with the rifle. This rifle was strong in durability and packed a powerful punch in terms of shooting. More importantly, a lot of new shooters managed to install some sights to ensure their shots were dead-on accurate. Even one user said he managed to install a front sight on his rifle and successfully managed to hit his targets from a good 150 yards out.
Why it Stands Out to Us
This rifle is chambered to fire .223 caliber shots, which are possibly one of the most popular choices when it comes to hunting varmints. The firing power behind this is pretty solid and it's decent enough for rounds to go the distance. If you want a good rifle that will work to knock down varmint and hogs, this could be what you're looking for. Aesthetics-wise, it's a head-turner. But don't get it solely for the looks.
Who Will Use This Most
This would be ideal for those who hunt varmints and hogs and want to shoot them from a good distance (100 yards to 150 yards, at best). Don't be shocked if this rifle ends up doing that on a consistent basis. Overall, this rifle is pretty solid and can fire like a champ. If you want something that's completely simple in design and use, this is the varmint rifle to go with.
The Remington 700 SPS Varmint 223 is without question, a really good varmint rifle to have on hand. And it can definitely get the job done, no matter how often you use it. If you're not much of a long-distance shooter but still want to knock down your targets from quite a distance away, this just might be right up your alley.
Best for the Money:
Really fun to shoot
Excellent firing power
Very durable construction
Accurate and reliable across many distances
The trigger is easy to adjust and trigger pull weight is manageable, regardless of how it's set
Rear sight may interfere with scopes
The clip may be easy to lose in the field
Some have complained about misfeeding
Most new users were pretty stoked about having this rifle in hand. Not only were they quite happy with the price it was going for, they were also happy with what they got in return. Simply put, they got more than what they paid for. One user said he managed to accurately hit his targets from 100 to 150 yards without the use of a scope. To add, he was seriously impressed with the precision and accuracy he got out of it.
This varmint rifle is pretty solid in construction. Its sights (both front and rear) co-witness quite nicely, which explains why you'll get really good accuracy and precision each time you shoot at a target. Structurally, the rifle is built solidly thanks to a mix of polymer and steel. Both are high-quality materials proven to last and handle the multiple amounts of gunfire.
This will perhaps be the go-to varmint rifle for those starting out with ridding their property of varmints or hunting them down (including hogs, as well). If you want something that will give you all kinds of accuracy and firing power without having to cost an arm or a leg, you're better off getting a rifle like this. Especially when you want to deal with your targets from 100 to 150 yards (or more) away.
If you want a rifle that is easy on the bank account and exciting to use for many hunters, this rifle from Ruger is the perfect varmint hunting rifle (and at a price that you can afford). Don't be surprised if this ends up being your rifle for the long-term (despite the fact that it's designed to be a newbie-friendly kind of rifle).
Best 223 Varmint Rifle:
Really accurate and precise
Plenty of magazine space for most users
The barrel is compliant with most state laws
Easy to customize with additional accessories
Solid construction and materials are super-durable
May be a bit heavy at times
A few were not happy with the overall accuracy
Some accessories may need to be replaced prior to use
A lot of new users were happy with this rifle for a few good reasons. One, they had plenty of rounds to work with for varmint and hog hunting. They were also pretty happy with the ease of use and the ability for them to customize the rifle to their own preferences. One user said he was able to add on a nice scope to his rifle and managed to hit a few targets from about 200 yards out, at best.
We now focus our attention on the big guns (no pun intended). This rifle is powerful. But it doesn't have too much power to the point where it would be considered too much for varmint hunting. This can perhaps get the job done at some longer distances. Not to mention, it's a rifle that is tough all over and gives you so many rounds to work with. So, if you want a rugged-looking rifle that can make varmint hunting enjoyable, this might be the rifle you'll want to consider giving a closer look.
This rifle will certainly be fun to use, especially if you are using it for hunting varmints and hogs. And with plenty of firing power at your disposal, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything else quite like this on the market. So if you want some power, distance, and accuracy rolled into one total package, this is the rifle that can be your best friend out in the field.
The DPMS Oracle is rugged, powerful, and can be reliable in any given hunting situation. It's the perfect rifle for those who want more than enough shots to get themselves through a long day of hunting. While you might not be able to use all 30 rounds, you'll still have plenty of rounds to work with the next time you head out hunting.
Best Varmint Air Rifle:
Easy to pump and fire
Reliable most of the time
Best for property management in a suburban area
Can reach out and touch something as far as 60 yards out
Can be a bit loud
The scope isn't really the best
Some say it's quite pricey for an air rifle
As expected, a lot of users were searching for a varmint rifle that would be perfect for suburban and even rural property management when it comes to varmint. When they came across this, they were pretty happy with the rifle, in general. It was easy to pump and delivered a whole lot of knockdown power when dealing with varmint from close-range. One user said this came quite in handy when he had a bit of a raccoon problem in his neighborhood. He chose this rifle since it was the safest possible option compared to using live ammo. So far, he's been able to use it with great success.
If you think air rifles are not the best for varmint hunting, this one, in particular, will prove you wrong. One of the many reasons why this rifle stands out as one of the best is the amount of air power delivered in every shot. This air rifle is no toy. It's the kind of rifle that can do some serious business, especially against varmint targets in a suburban setting.
This rifle will obviously be used for the purpose of dealing with varmints in a suburban setting. In fact, it's pretty much required to use it in such a setting. Because you are setting up a dangerous situation if you just so happen to be using live rounds. If you're smart about managing the varmint problem, you should use a rifle that will still pack a powerful punch and knock down a varmint or two. This rifle is the best possible example.
The Benjamin Marauder is one tough customer when it comes to air rifles. If you think this is just some child's toy, think again. In fact, it's too powerful for kids to use. But if you want to get rid of varmints without risking the life of your neighbors, this just might be the one you'll want to use for the long term.
Best 22 250 Varmint Rifle:
No barrel break-in
Bolt action feeds very well
Superior quality and construction
Outstanding accuracy,can hit targets effectively at various distances
May need to be cleaned before initial use
Some say the finish on the stock was uneven
A few have reported the first shell failing to eject
A lot of new users were pretty happy with the rifle overall. They said the shooting power provides some serious knockdown against varmints. Accuracy-wise, it was able to reach a distance of 300 yards. One user was even shocked that he could shoot a varmint target from that far away (and in one shot, no less). The construction was solid and the rifle is surprisingly lightweight for a hunting rifle.
This rifle might just be one of the best long-range rifles on the block when it comes to varmint hunting. Not only that, you can get the job done without the aid of a scope. If that isn't quite the impressive feat, then we're not sure what is. If you want a varmint rifle that can do some serious damage at distances that are considered quite impressive, this rifle might just be the best possible choice for you.
If you want to knock down a varmint or two from ridiculous distances, this is the kind you want to put to good use when you're out in an open field. It's shooting ability is reliable, powerful, and dangerously accurate. If those are the attributes you look for in a rifle for varmint hunting, this should be one of the rifles to add to your arsenal.
The Savage Arms 12 FV Bolt-Action Varmint Rifle is a pretty impressive rifle when it comes to performance and quality. And surprisingly enough, it's going at a reasonable price. While it's not necessarily cheap, it isn't too expensive either. So if your budget allows for a middle-of-the-road price on a pretty decent varmint rifle, you should consider this one, in particular, as your potential long-term choice.
Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP .308 Win Rifle W/ 3-9x40 Vortex Crossfire II Scope
Aesthetically sharp
Bolt action slides nice and smooth
Durable and super solid construction
The scope is really durable, also, it provides great image quality
Superior firing power, can knockdown varmint from about 200 to 250 yards away
A lot of new buyers were quite happy with the rifle. They said the feeding of the ammo via the bolt action was jam-free and the bolt action itself moved around smoothly without any grittiness. On top of that, they managed to fire off a few rounds at the range, hitting the bullseye and close to it from distances ranging from 150 to 250 yards. One user said he uses this for long-distance varmint hunting and even hog hunting.
This rifle is solidly built, durable, and can definitely do some damage in a hunting situation. In short, it's considered to be the total package. Durable, great firing power, and equipped with one of the best scopes in the business is the Vortex Crossfire II. The scope is probably one of the most durable out there. And with crisp and clear image quality and a reticle that allows some pretty sharp and precise shooting, it's no wonder they got the best overall honors.
This will be a great varmint hunting rifle for a lot of hunters that want to go the distance. Whether it's varmint or hog, this rifle has a considerable amount of knockdown power that will make sure your bag limit is met day in and day out (or whenever you get the chance to go hunting). So if you are looking for a rifle that is pretty much the epitome of how a varmint rifle should work, go with this.
The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP .308 Winchester Rifle has proven why it belongs to the best overall slot. We cannot stress enough the durability and performance. And when it's equipped with one of the best hunting scopes on the market, you can be certain it's going to be one of the best varmint rifles on the market. For these reasons, this rifle has the potential to hang on to the best overall spot for quite some time.
Best Varmint AR-15 Rifle:
 Brownells XBRN177E2 AR-15 Rifle
Accurate and reliable
Light in weight, even when loaded
Easy to load, takes a couple of minutes
Excellent firing power and you'll have plenty of rounds handy for hunting
This rifle was a hit with most users, especially those who fancy themselves AR-15 rifle users. They said they managed to hit their targets with accuracy and precision at ranges between 100 to 250 yards. One user was even able to reach that far while test-firing it at the range. He added that the front sight was at a good size but didn't obstruct the target at all.
This is a varmint rifle that is built solidly and can go the distance. As a result, every shot you fire is precise, accurate, and will certainly knock down varmints with ease. Though it is an AR-15, it's got quite a bit of power but it's not considered to be too much by varmint hunting standards. With 20 rounds at your disposal, it's plenty for all your hunting needs. So if you want something that is built solidly and ready for action in the hunting fields, this is what you'll need.
This will be a great rifle to have if you need something that will be quite handy for long-distance shooting purposes. By long-distance, we can define it as 200 yards or more. Most AR-15s are known for going quite far. So if you are in search of the perfect varmint rifle that will get the job done at some impressive distances, this is the one you'll probably go with.
The Brownells Carbine 5.56 Rifle is the one rifle that can definitely provide a lot of knockdown power for varmints and hogs out in the field. For an AR-15 rifle, it's rough, tough, and precisely accurate. For a heavy-duty rifle you can depend on for hunting, this bad boy makes a strong case as to why its one of the best.
Aspects to Consider Before Buying
Aside from the features and characteristics, there are some things that you should consider that will play a role in your purchasing decision. You'll want to mull these over so you are better informed and ready to make a decision at some point down the road. Here are some aspects that you'll need to consider:
Specifically, do you live in a rural area or a residential area? The answer will influence the rifle you'll need to choose. If you live in a residential area (like a suburb), you should consider investing in an air rifle, since it would be dangerous to use live ammo in such a setting. If you live in a rural area and at a good distance away from other neighbors, you'll have a bit more flexibility in what type of rifle you can use.
Property Management or Hunting?
Is your situation more of a property management thing? Or are you simply hunting for varmint for the thrill of the hunt? Either way, finding the right rifle for the specified purpose will be key. If you are hunting, you'd be more apt to use a standard rifle. For smaller critters, an air rifle might be sufficient.
How Many Rounds Do I Need?
This is a question that can be answered based on your personal needs and preferences. So you should consider your situation regarding varmints and then answer any additional questions that may be relevant to why you need a varmint rifle. Whether you need a few or a lot, the ball is in your court.
A great varmint rifle will certainly be something to have in your arsenal, especially if you want something that is reliable, powerful, and able to get the job done at any given time of day. Find one that will work to the best of its abilities and you'll have a rifle in the situations that matter most for a long time.
The following are a few questions you can use as a guide to help you better understand how varmint rifles work. Consider the following answers, as they will help you make a better-informed decision. These are the questions asked by most prospective buyers:
What is the Best Varmint Rifle Caliber?
There are various answers to this question. However, some of the best calibers that some of our previous readers have used were .223, .308, and .22-250, to name a few. It will also depend on the kind of varmint you are trying to hunt down, as well.
What Rifle Caliber Shoots the Flattest?
One of the popular varmint calibers that can shoot the flattest is the .308 Winchester. If you want flat shooting, you should consider purchasing rounds like the Hornady 150 BSP Light Mag rounds.
Is a 300 or a 308 More Powerful?
Of the two, the 300 caliber is perhaps the most powerful for a few reasons. For one, it can hit a foot higher and deliver more energy and impact compared to its 308 caliber counterpart.

For Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll, "Ability To Be Consistent" Is Ultimate Goal
The Seahawks have been one of the most consistent teams in the NFL under Pete Carroll, something he considers a huge measure of success.
One of the most important times in Pete Carroll's coaching career was the year he had off between his final season in New England and his first year at USC. As Carroll has detailed many times in interviews and in his book, "Win Forever," it was during that time between coaching jobs when Carroll studied UCLA legend John Wooden, reevaluated his own methods, and came up with the core principles and philosophies that would help him build championship-winning programs at USC and in Seattle.
But Carroll didn't quite have everything figured out when he took over the USC job following what in his book he referred to as "an enormous process of self-discovery."
These days, if you ask Carroll or any of his players about a "big game" or a "must-win" game, they'll all give some version of the same response—"Every week is a championship week, we treat every game the same," etc. Yet Carroll didn't always have that approach. As USC prepared to face Notre Dame in Carroll's first season coaching in one of college football's more storied rivalry games, he pulled out all the stops to get the Trojans up for a big game.
"We played Notre Dame the first time out when I was at SC and we went out there and we did it all," Carroll said. "We talked about all of the hype and the buildup and the history, and we brought (former players) back to talk to the players, we went to the Grotto, we walked the campus, we did it all. Then we got our butt kicked. It was such a mis-emphasis of focus, and I have never been the same since. That really was the time. It was exactly that game that week, and we haven't been the same since."
Since that game, a consistent approach has become one of the key components of Carroll's teams, and striving for that consistency not just from week-to-week but from year-to-year is a big reason why the Seahawks are in the driver's seat to earn a fourth NFC West title under Carroll and a fifth consecutive playoff berth and sixth in seven years in a league that has rules in place to create parity.
As was evident in last week's loss at Tampa Bay, even very good teams team can have an off day, but it's the way the Seahawks have kept those occasional bad games or rough patches from derailing a season that has helped them post double-digit win totals in four straight seasons, possibly five depending on how they finish this season. And while it might have taken a bad loss at Notre Dame for Carroll to figure out how he wanted to handle things on a week-to-week approach, he has long seen year-to-year consistency as a more significant measure of success than mixing an occasional championship in with losing seasons. In a story he has told on a few occasions, it was Carroll's first trip to Buffalo as the head coach of the New York Jets that helped him find his "greatest inspiration" as a coach.
"There was a moment, as a matter of fact," Carroll said. "It was the first game that I ever coached as the head coach of the Jets. We had won in Buffalo in the opening game of the year, and after the game—it was a big win, first game ever and all that kind of stuff, it was cool, they were a great team at the time so we were fortunate—and I walked back into the stadium and taking a moment to kind of just suck up all the joy of it and the fun and all that. And I looked back up at the stadium and they had the counting of their division championships, there were like eight of them in a row or something like that. It was when Marv (Levy) was there and they just were killing it, they had great teams, and it hit me in that moment that—even though they hadn't won Super Bowls, at that time I think they already lost four of them—that was a symbol of success.
"That was what you're really after, that's what you're really looking for in putting your team together. Teams can come back year after year after year, and maintain a high level of performance. That's why I've always said, to win a Super Bowl, or win a national championship, that's cool, that's a great thing, it's fun and all that, but to me, that's not the ultimate. There's way more than that. It's about showing the ability to be consistent. That's where it started, that's when my mentality was locked into, how can we find a way to carry this conversation with the players and the people who affect the program in a really consistent, highly successful way?"
"You have to be prepared for it before you ever get to it."
All this talk of consistency and of staying on top is relevant this week not just because the Seahawks are trying to get back on track after a performance that was anything but consistent with their recent play, but also because this week's opponent, the Carolina Panthers, have been fighting a season-long battle with maintaining a high level of play following a spectacular 2015 season. Last year, the Panthers went 15-1 and won an NFC Championship, beating the Seahawks both in the regular season and the postseason. This year, despite still having a talented roster, the Panthers are 4-7 and in danger of missing the playoffs all together.
Carolina has been hit with more than its share of significant injuries, and the Panthers have lost a lot of close games, but Panthers coach Ron Rivera also acknowledges that there could be something of a "Super Bowl hangover" in play this season.
"I think it's got a little bit to do with it," Rivera said on a conference call with Seattle-area reporters.
Understanding that a lot of extra baggage comes with being a Super Bowl team—everything ranging from extra media and endorsement opportunities for players to increased external and internal expectations to having free agent players become more coveted by other teams—Rivera even tried to research how Carroll and the Seahawks handed things after the 2013 season, allowing them to go back to the Super Bowl a year later.
"I tried to look up articles in terms of what Coach Carroll has done to go back to back, just trying to get an understanding and feel for it," Rivera said. "Unfortunately we just haven't had the luck, that's the hard pill to swallow because last year we made our own luck.
"There's a lot that has been written on their success with those back to back years. I try to look up those things on the internet and delve through certain things and read some of the things that he's done. Coach (Carroll) is a tremendously successful coach. You'd be nuts not to try to pay attention to the things that he says or he's done."
Unfortunately for Rivera and his team, things haven't gone according to plan this season, but while the Seahawks did get back to the Super Bowl in 2014 and return to the playoff last year, it wasn't exactly smooth sailing throughout either of those seasons. The 2014 team started the season 3-3, then 6-4 before winning six straight to close the season and earn another division title and Super Bowl berth. And last year's team started even worse, opening with a 2-4 record before again turning things around in the second half of the season.
"We fortunately made it through the effect of the Super Bowls," Carroll said. "Remember, both years we started sloppily in the early part of the season, but I think there's a whole thing to that… I think you have to be prepared for it way before you ever get to it. If it's the first time you ever talk about it, I think you might not be able to have grounded thoughts and approach to deal with it, because it's an enormous impact, win or lose. I think I've tried to share that with you guys, it affects you regardless of what the outcome was, and how you handle it is what's so crucial. I think if you don't have mentality for handling past experiences and how you're going to deal with that, in a disciplined fashion, when you hit it for the first time, you don't know what's going to happen. Lots of times it has an effect that you didn't anticipate and you weren't able to head off, and it gets you. There's a big history of teams really struggling after a year of going (to the Super Bowl), particularly when teams win they have a big problem, but it's hard anyway."
"Most teams go up and down a lot, we're trying to not be that style… It's a great challenge in all sports."
While the challenges of sustaining success are different at the college and professional levels, understanding how to handle success and expectations does carry over, and Carroll has been able to apply a lot of the lesson he learned winning multiple championships at USC to his time in Seattle.
"I don't think there's any question," Carroll said. "We were in that mode for a very long time and I feel very comfortable with it. I think there's a whole dialogue and mentality and approach that is something that you have to seed early to be able to endure it, because the impact can be so overwhelming at times. I do think there's a lot to it."
And trying to be consistent, trying to treat every week the same, that doesn't mean pretending to live in a vacuum where big-picture expectations don't exist. Instead, what the Seahawks try to do is focus on the things they can control that, in the end, will allow them to meet the lofty standard to which they are held.
"I don't think you ever are not dealing with the impact of the expectations, whatever they are," Carroll said. "Expectations come at you from yourself, from within your building, expectations that come from the outside, the media, from all walks. I go back to, I think it takes an ongoing conversation and approach to deal with that, so that when the time comes and the unanticipated occurrences start to knock at you, you can handle them. I think there's a real discipline to it and there's language, there's dialogue, there's expectations, there's how you practice and present it. I love this whole thing that we're in with the mentality to try to keep from being up and down and being normal. Most teams go up and down a lot, we're trying to not be that style, and over a long haul, that's when you can look back and see how've you done. It's hard to see that when you're in the middle of it. It's a great challenge in all sports."
"There's a tremendous amount going on there. As a coach you have the opportunity to deal with that, with individuals, with coaches, with fans, with how you express it to the media. It's an ongoing endeavor to try to maintain the kind of focus and discipline and continuity you need to not be up and down and be like most teams."
Seahawks vs Panthers Through the Years
The Seahawks and the Panthers have faced off 12 times, including three postseason matchups. The Seahawks currently own eight wins in the series and will play the Panthers again this Sunday in Week 12 of the 2018 NFL season.

DVD REVIEW: SUPERHEROES
What do Mr. Xtreme, Zimmer and Master Legend have in common? They might sound like comic book characters but these brave souls are real life superheroes (RLSH). Michael Barnett's SUPERHEROES documents the lives of ordinary citizens across America as they take matters into their own hands and attempt to bring criminals to justice..
Creating a sensation at Slamdance and winning a slot in the first-ever "Slamdance on the Road" theatrical tour, SUPERHEROES was also picked up by HBO for a premiere in August as part the network's acclaimed "Documentary Films Summer Series." This awe-inspiring film unmasks the true-life stories behind these costumed avengers as they confront not just drug dealers, muggers and slumlords, but also the most dangerous offender of all – apathy. Their worlds are revealed through in-depth interviews and man-on-the-street film footage of these masked crusaders patrolling the streets in costume, safeguarding their cities from evildoers. RLSH groups such as The New York Initiative and Team Justice, which has non-profit status in Florida, detail their motivation behind their commitment to protect and serve their communities. Zimmer, who is part of The New York Initiative and lives with three other members of the group in Brooklyn, believes most governments are corrupt and the police are unreliable due to the limited number of officers patrolling areas with thousands of people..
Like superheroes in comic books, RLSH wear costumes, carry weapons (lasers, mace, pepper spray), and even in some cases wear a mask to keep their identities secret. Many RLSH physically train and prepare before patrolling the streets. Some make it their duty to kick out drug dealers from the park, capture muggers and protect the more vulnerable from real criminals like the Chula Vista Groper, a sexual predator on the loose for a five-month period in San Diego until he was finally caught by police..
Along with fighting crime, a number of RLSH also play a pivotal role in helping the homeless and disenfranchised. Team Justice holds a yearly Christmas drive in Florida for families in need and, in Portland, Oregon, Zetaman and his wife, Apocalypse Meow, hand out basic toiletries to the homeless..
"It's not the costume that makes you a superhero, it's what is in your heart and what you do; that's what makes you a real life superhero." – Mr. Xtreme.
Not everyone agrees with the actions of these brave ordinary citizens. Lt. Andra Brown from the San Diego Police Department cautions that RLSH are not trained and don't have an understanding of the law or clear judgment the way law enforcement professionals do. Psychologist and author Robin S. Rosenberg, (Superhero Origin), explains that some RLSH might have experienced trauma in their lives and therefore have used this as a leverage to do good for others..
The film is presented in the style of a graphic novel and features Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee (Spider-Man) giving his perspective on RLSH. Key art is designed by Peter Tangen, who worked on the Spider-Man and The Dark Knight film posters. Comic-book panel animation is used as transitions between the RLSH and their stories.

This guide describes how you can audit the encryption used for the client and server side connection protected using TLS and SSH.
The TLS/SSL and SSH are different protocols judging by the low level technical details, but serve the same purpose and have similar behavior in terms of cryptographic operations.
They have a similar handshake protocol based on asymmetric cryptography, encrypting the payload/data in motion using symmetric cryptography. Both use similar data integrity mechanisms.
SFTPPlus supports only SSH version 2 which is the latest version and the version supported and used by all the other SSH implementation.
SFTPPlus will emit events as soon as the connections are made. These events happen at the very same moment when the connection is done. At that point, the TLS or SSH handshake has not yet initiated, hence no cryptography was agreed for that connection.
All the file transfer protocols will prevent sending any user data before the encryption handshake was not done. Username, password, any other credentials and any file transfer data is only sent after the connection is secured.
As soon as the connection is secured, the file transfer protocol will start to send sensitive data. At this point the event will inform the encryption used for the connection.
10033 2018-02-11 16:38:26 127.0.0.1:32860 New FTP/FTPS client connection made.
10024 2018-02-11 16:38:27 127.0.0.1:32860 Initializing secure command channel.
SFTPPlus will emit events as soon as the connections are closed.
Depending on previous setup for the the connection, the emitted event will include information about the ciphers and cryptographic algorithm used to protect the communication of that connection.
A connection might be closed due to failure to agree on a common encryption method or because the peer presented cryptographic credentials which were not trusted. In such cases, the event will not have any information about the encryption, as there was no encryption is used.
In all other cases, when the connection is closed after a successful handshake, the event will include the details of the encryption used.

Gina Szwarc, właśc. Regina lub Eugenia Szwarc, także Guina Szwarc, z domu Pinkus, ps. "Eugenia Markowa" (ur. 23 kwietnia 1895 w Koninie, zm. 1973 w Paryżu) – polska pisarka i dziennikarka żydowskiego pochodzenia.

Życiorys
Gina Pinkus urodziła się 23 kwietnia 1895 roku w Koninie w zasymilowanej rodzinie Luzera (Ludwika) i Zeldy (Zofii) z Baumanów. Wychowała się w Łodzi, gdzie uczęszczała do polskiej szkoły. Na początku 1919 roku zaczęła studiować filozofię na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim. Podczas pobytu w Krakowie prowadziła po polsku dziennik; język polski pozostał dla niej przez resztę życia językiem wspomnień, rodziny i emocji.

W 1919 roku poznała Marka Szwarca, za którego wkrótce wyszła za mąż. 1 maja 1920 roku małżeństwo Szwarców przeszło na katolicyzm, zaś kilka miesięcy później parze urodziła się córka Zuzanna Teresa (Miriam) Szwarc. Znaczne problemy finansowe pary doprowadziły do rozstania z dzieckiem na kilka miesięcy 1921 roku: dziecko zamieszkało u rodziny w Łodzi, gdy Szwarcowie próbowali ustabilizować się w Paryżu. Po dodatkowych kursach zawodowych Gina zaczęła dorabiać robótkami ręcznymi. W latach 1920–1923 prowadziła Dziennik intymny; jej pamiętniki z okresu rozłąki z córką przybrały formę listów do dziecka. W Paryżu Szwarcowie dołączyli do kręgu znajomych Raïssy i Jacques'a Maritainów.

Na łamach tygodnika "Ewa" Gina Szwarc publikowała barwne relacje z życia kulturalnego Paryża posługując się imionami Eugenia Szwarcowa i Eugenia Markowa. Prowadziła także wywiady z artystkami (m.in. z Olgą Boznańską) oraz pisała błyskotliwe recenzje przedstawień teatralnych i wystaw. Współpracowała także z poznańską "Kulturą". W 1929 roku na łamach "Nowego Dziennika" ukazał się jej wywiad z Melą Muter. W latach trzydziestych zaczęła pisać powieści, które następnie jej przyjaciele tłumaczyli na francuski.

Mąż Giny wielokrotnie utrwalał jej twarz w swoich dziełach, nadając jej rysy madonnom, aniołom oraz innym postaciom kobiecym. Dla przykładu, w 1938 roku Marek Szwarc wykonał rzeźbę Matki Boskiej na zamówienie władz Paryża, którą wstawiono w niszę budynku na rogu rue Aubriot i rue Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie w dzielnicy Le Marais. Szwarc ilustrował także publikacje Giny.

W okresie II wojny światowej Gina schroniła się w Wielkiej Brytanii. W latach 50. spisała wspomnienia z lat 1919–1921, które po przetłumaczeniu na francuski ukazały się w 1961 roku pod tytułem Le choix. Polski manuskrypt został zniszczony przez córkę, przez co polskie wydanie z 2015 roku stanowiło tłumaczenie z francuskiego przekładu.

Szwarc zmarła w 1973 roku w Paryżu.

Życie rodzinne Giny i Marka Szwarców zostało opisane przez córkę we wspomnieniach pt. Pamiętnik na trzy głosy. Materiały z archiwum osobistego, listy i artykuły Szwarców znajdują się w zbiorach Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich Polin.

"USTR should not ask Congress to reverse course on a successful policy that bolsters American trade leadership. A consistent, high de minimis threshold benefits the entire American e-commerce system, including thousands of small businesses that use the internet to export and import. Congress recognized this and raised the U.S. de minimis threshold in 2015 for the first time in nearly 20 years. America's digital trade surplus has grown substantially since 2015 and now represents $196 billion in net exports. Those exports mean jobs and growth in every state and community across America.


This week saw Bitcoin's price above the $4k mark and stable throughout the entire week, as were the top 5 markets. Other important developments include announcements of important releases such as Lightning Loop and Huobi Prime, new research showing that most crypto trading volumes are actually suspicious and that PoS coins are on the rise, one of the QuadrigaCX co-founders actually being a convicted criminal in the past, and new regulations for Switzerland, Japan, Canada, and the US.
Bitcoin (BTC) broke the $4k barrier and stayed above that mark the entire week. It opened Monday at $4,029.97 and after going up 1%, went back down slightly and closed the 18th at $4,032.51. It closed Tuesday at $4,071.19, gaining 1% for the day. The rest of the week didn't show any great changes, and both the low and high of the week came on Thursday, at $4,005.15 and $4,097.36 respectively, with a small change of 2.3%. On Sunday it closed at $4,022.17, a 0.3% loss for the day and a 0.2% loss for the week. BTC's market cap on Monday was $70.96B, and at closing on Sunday it was at $70.8B, losing just 0.2% throughout the week.
Ethereum (ETH) started the week at $140.1 and then peaked for the week that same day at $142.27. By closing on Monday, ETH had gone down to $139.37. Like BTC, the Ethereum coin didn't have any important changes. The low of the week came on Thursday when the coin plummeted down to $135.86, losing 4.5% from its high on Monday. The weekend was stable, and on Sunday it closed at $136.99, with a 1% loss for the day and a 2.2% loss for the week. ETH's market cap on the 18th was $14.67B and by the end of the week it had shed 1.6%, closing Sunday at $14.4B.
Ripple (XRP) started the week at $0.3177, and by the end of the day, the price hadn't changed significantly, closing at $0.3174. The week showed stability and the price experienced the most changes on Thursday with 3.6% between the highest and lowest price that day. The peak of the week also took place on Thursday, at $0.3208. The weekend was calmed for XRP, opening both Friday and Saturday at $0.3113. On Sunday, the low of the week and the lowest closing of the week occurred at $0.3082 and $0.309 respectively, with a 1% loss for the day and a 2.7% loss for the week. XRP's market cap went down 2.1% during the week, from $13.15B on the 18th to $12.87B on the 24th.
Litecoin (LTC) barely showed changes throughout the week. On Monday it opened at $61.28 and early into the day, the high of the week occurred at $62.77. The low of the week came on Wednesday at $58.57, losing 6.7% from the peak two days earlier. It closed Sunday at $60.22, experiencing a 1.7% loss for the day and a 1.7% loss for the week. Unlike the aforementioned coins, LTC's market cap hardly even increased 0.08% during the week, going from $3.673B on Monday to $3.675B on Sunday.
EOS started Monday at $3.78 and close into the day's start, the peak of the week took place at $3.81. The price of the EOS coin slowly decreased during the week, bottoming out at $3.62 on Wednesday and again on Thursday. Friday's opening and Sunday's closing prices were the same — $3.66 — for a consistent weekend. Sunday saw a 0.8% loss for the day and a 3.2% loss for the week. EOS's market cap on Monday was $3.4B and by Sunday it had lost 2.5%, closing out the week at $3.31B.
Even though BTC managed to stay on top of the $4k mark, all crypto markets ended the week in red, with minimal decreases for prices. Almost all top 5 market caps — with the exception of Litecoin's slight increase — experienced losses, the biggest one being 2.5% for EOS.
In a Mar. 20 blog post, the company announced the release of Lightning Loop as a non-custodial service that will make it easier for people to receive funds on Lightning, something that was troublesome for some of its users. After receiving a certain amount of funds, Lightning users will not be able to receive any further payments until they offload their funds from the network. The "Loop Out" function will take care of that issue, increasing users' receiving capacity by moving funds "out of Lightning and into a bitcoin wallet, cold storage, or fiat currency via an exchange". For the initial release, Loop Out transactions will be limited to a maximum of 0.01 BTC, and on-chain fees will still be charged.
The blog post also announced that there will be a "Loop In" function released sometime in the future, which will do the opposite — allow users to refill Lightning channels with on-chain bitcoin from a cryptocurrency wallet or an exchange.
As per an official blog post from Mar. 20, Singaporean exchange, Huobi, will launch a dedicated platform, named Huobi Prime, specifically designed to provide early access to coins at a reduced price. The platform, which will benefit both personal users and professional investors, will feature listings with three different 30-minute coin offering rounds, with the price of the crypto rising with each round. There will be an individual investment cap of $1,000, and purchases can only be made with the proprietary Huobi Token (HT). The official launch is scheduled for Mar. 26, and the first project will be TOP Network's TOP token.
Huobi also announced that they would be supporting the new USDT-TRON, according to a Mar. 21 blog post. Similarly, Malta-based exchange OKEx has also announced their support for TRON's version of the stablecoin. This means that both exchanges support three separate protocols of USDT: USDT-Omni, USDT-ERC20 and now USDT-TRON.
According to research carried out by trading analytics platform The Tie, 87% of the reported trade volumes of crypto exchanges may actually be incorrect. These results, published on Mar. 18, come from figures gathered from 97 exchanges, the majority of which boast volume numbers that come from users that may not exist. The results show that "87% of exchanges reported cryptocurrency trading volume was potentially suspicious and that 75% of exchanges had some suspicious activity occurring on them".
A similar study, conducted by Bitwise and reported on Mar. 22 by the WSJ, shows that nearly 95% of reported Bitcoin trading volume are actually artificially created by unregulated exchanges. As part of an application to launch a btc-based ETF, Bitwise collected and analyzed Bitcoin trading data, across more than 80 different crypto exchanges. The study concluded that out of the reported $6 billion daily trading volume, only $273 million was considered legitimate.
According to the official sale results released by Binance, the sale of Celer Network (CELR) tokens, which took place on Mar. 19, sold all 597,014,925 available CELR tokens in just 17 minutes and 35 seconds, which is equal to $4 million. The CELR sale marks the third Launchpad sale, after hosting BitTorrent Token and Fetch.AI sales, which raised $7.1 and $6 million, respectively. These sales were also short-lived, lasting less than 15 minutes in the case of BTT and only 22 seconds in the case of the FET sale.
Additionally, a blog post on Mar. 24 indicated that there will be an update regarding the format of upcoming Launchpad token sales. The past three sales functioned under a first-come-first-serve system, but upcoming sales will adopt a lottery system. Binance users will be able to claim up to 5 lottery tickets depending on the amount of BNB they hold in their accounts. The exchange claims that this system is used by various traditional exchanges around the world in order to bolster fairness and transparency.
During her talk on this year's SXSW, Valerie Szczepanik, the Senior Advisor for the US SEC, claimed that some stablecoins violate the securities law. During the conference, she stated that there are three groups of stablecoins, highlighting that some are tied to real assets, such as gold and oil; others are linked to fiat reserves; and then there's a third group of stablecoins, which are the ones which have a central authority that controls the price of the stablecoin.
Szczepanik, dubbed by the press as "the first Crypto Czar", stated that stablecoins that belong to the third group are potentially breaking securities laws, although each project has to be looked at individually. She also claims that in order to stay on the good side of the SEC, people should "ask for permission, not forgiveness".
The much-awaited public release of Bakkt, originally planned for November, has been delayed several times due to problems related to obtaining approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFCT). As the WSJ reported on Mar. 21, the platform's plans to store customers' BTC from its Bitcoin futures could be a reason for further delays. However, the CFCT informed the platform that in order to have custody from its customers' crypto holdings, disclosures of Bakkt's business plan and public comment period would be needed, which would further delay the approval.
In spite of the delays and the lack of any investment products, The Block reported on Mar. 21 that Bakkt earned a $740 million valuation after raising $180 million in funding. However, the constant delays have raised some questions among investors, particularly regarding their risk-return ratio.
According to a Mar. 19 Bloomberg report, Canadian records obtained by the news agency show that Michael Patryn, co-founder of the infamous Canadian exchange, QuadrigaCX, legally changed his name on two separate occasions, in 2003 and 2008. Moreover, it was revealed that one of his past identities was Omar Dhanani, a convicted criminal who was sentenced to 18 months in a U.S. federal prison and subsequently deported to Canada, where he reinvented himself as a cryptocurrency entrepreneur. Patryn left QuadrigaCX in 2016 and is now serving as a founder and chairman at Fintech Ventures Group.
The crimes that are linked to Patryn's former legal name include identity theft, bank and credit card fraud, operating a website that dealt with stolen credit card numbers, burglary, grand larceny, and computer fraud.
Digitec Galaxus, Switzerland's largest online retailer, now accepts cryptocurrency payments. In a press release on Mar. 19, the company stated that customers can now use Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, TRON, and other cryptocurrencies to pay for purchases over 200 CHF (around 200 USD). The new method was co-developed with Swiss e-payment specialist, Datatrans AG, which cooperates with Coinify, a Danish crypto payment provider.
On Mar. 20, The Swiss Federal Assembly approved a motion to have the Federal Council modify existing provisions on procedural instruments of judicial and administrative authorities and adapt them for cryptocurrency regulation. On Mar. 22 the Federal Council stated that "the consultation on the adaptation of federal law to developments in distributed ledger technology (DLT)". This process will end on June 30.
Japan introduced new regulations last week stating that all crypto exchanges that handle margin trading must obtain new government registration, with the intention of limiting leverage at two to four times the initial deposit. This new cryptocurrency regulation will come into force in April 2020, and it is also meant to protect investors by having entities that deal with cryptocurrencies monitored in a way that resembles securities traders. The Canadian Securities Administrators, on the other hand, has proposed a temporary ban on crypto platforms for short trading and on crypto firms that support margin finance to protect investors, at least until there is a better understanding of crypto asset trading risks to the market.
The County of Missoula in Montana, USA, will be discussing The Cryptocurrency Mining Resolution and the Cryptocurrency Mining Zoning Overlay District Regulations at a public hearing on Apr. 4. These resolutions propose the use of renewable energy for mining cryptocurrencies to "protect the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of county residents," emphasizing the possible effects crypto mining has on global warming.
This week showed promise, especially with Bitcoin, which Binance Research had named the bellwether for the entire industry, being above the $4k mark the entire week. Other positive developments include the release of a new token sale platform on Huobi Prime, the high valuation of new platform Bakkt despite its delays, and the adoptions of crypto payments from Western Union and Digitec Galaxus. However, the fact that most trade volumes for Bitcoin and crypto exchanges are actually artificial or misleading is worrisome, and does a great deal of damage for crypto as a whole.

Biografia
Emma Üffing affetta sin dall'infanzia da una forma di rachitismo, nel 1931 entrò come apprendista nell'ospedale di Hopsten, dove conobbe le suore clementine di Münster.
Nel 1934, dopo la morte del padre, chiese di essere ammessa nella congregazione delle clementine e, nonostante la sua salute cagionevole, la sua domanda fu accettata. Prese il nome religioso di Maria Eutimia in onore della superiora della comunità ospedaliera di Hopsten, madre Eutimia Linnenkämper.
Prestò servizio presso l'ospedale di Dinslaken, dove si prese cura dei malati del reparto in isolamento, e durante il secondo conflitto mondiale, assicurò l'assistenza infermieristica ai prigionieri di guerra.
Ammalatasi di cancro, morì in fama di santità nel 1955.

Culto
Oggetto di devozione popolare fin dalla morte, il 1º settembre 1988 la Santa Sede proclamò l'eroicità delle sue virtù dichiarandola venerabile. Fu beatificata da papa Giovanni Paolo II in piazza San Pietro a Roma il 7 ottobre 2001.

La sua memoria ricorre il 9 settembre.

A Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro egy androidos okostelefon, amelyet a gyártó Sony Ericsson 2011 augusztusában dobott piacra. Kijelzője 3 hüvelykes (76 mm), 320×480 pixel felbontású kapacitív érintőképernyő, és kicsúsztatható QWERTY billentyűzettel is rendelkezik. Alapjellemzője még az 1 GHz-es Snapdragon processzor, az 5 megapixeles kamera, az 512 MB belső memória és a mellékelt 2 GB-os microSD kártya.

A készülék párja az Xperia mini, amely nem rendelkezik kicsúsztatható gombsorral.

Áttekintés
A telefon környezetvédelmet előtérbe helyező csomagolásában a telefonon kívül a töltő, egy USB kábel és egy fülhallgató található. A készülék Android 2.3.3, azaz a "Gingerbread" operációs rendszerrel van felszerelve (Android 4.0-ra, azaz "Ice Cream Sandwich"-re frissíthető - kivéve a T-Mobile-nál kapható készülékek), a kijelzőn az élességet, az élénk színeket és a kontrasztot a Sony Bravia Mobile Engine szoftver biztosítja. A kijelző mérete – az előd X10 mini pro 2,55 hüvelykje után – 3 hüvelykes lett, felbontása 320×480 pixel (HVGA), a pixelsűrűség 192 ppi, és LED megvilágítással rendelkezik. Kezelőfelületét a Sony Ericsson alakította ki, amelynek jellemzője, hogy a négy sarokban van elhelyezve négy funkció, és a többujjas érzékelésre is alkalmas.

A mini pro kamerája 5 megapixeles, maximális felbontása 2592×1944 pixel, autofókusszal, kis LED-es vakuval (előlapi kamerája is van). HD videót is lehet vele rögzíteni, 720p-ben (1280×720 pixel). Kicsúsztatható QWERTY billentyűi gumis felületűek, 75×25 milliméternyi felületen helyezték el, a karakterek elhelyezése jó és megvilágítottak. A billentyűzet kinyitása nélkül is van lehetőség szövegbevitelre: álló helyzetben mobilos gombsoron, fekvő helyzetben QWERTY.

A készülékben 1 GHz-es Snapdragon processzor, Adreno 205-ös GPU és fél gigás RAM dolgozik. A belső tárhely 512 MB-os, a mellékelt microSD kártya 2 GB-os, de  32 GB-osig bővíthető.  A letöltés legfeljebb 7,2 Mbit/s-os, a feltöltés 5,76 Mbit/s-os, a Wi-Fi-je 802.11 b/g/n szabványú. Kábeles csatlakoztatásra USB kábel szolgál, a Bluetooth 2.1-es verziójú. Akkumulátora 1200 mAh-s.

Az Xperia mini próban a szokásos szoftverek, szolgáltatások megtalálhatók. A névjegyzékez sok forrásból érkezhet: a SIM-ről, a telefon saját memóriájából és számos webes adatbázisból (Facebook, Google fiók, Exchange kontaktlista). Az üzenetkezelés terén az SMS-en és az MMS-es kívül van POP3/IMAP4 e-mail, Gmail, illetve egy Moxier nevű külső program segítségével vállalati levelezés is lehetséges.

A Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro fekete, türkiz, fehér és rózsaszín színekben érhető el.

InnovateBC offers business owners COVID-19 recovery programming including digital skills hiring grants, no-cost business coaching, access to local connections and more.
Innovate BC offers boost to those growing their business online
COVID recovery programming includes digital skills hiring grants, no-cost business coaching and more
Need help getting your business online? So does Susan. She'd been successfully running her retail shop for six years – and then COVID-19 hit.
Innovate BC enabled Susan with:
Subsidized digital marketing role
Support from a local business coach to build out an action plan
Access to no-fee educational content and resources
Susan is part of the Shíshál Nation and owns a store in Ch'atlich (Sechelt) that sells locally made products like jewellery, clothing and artwork. She's built a profitable business from local tourism. But she's struggling to make ends meet. Her business took a real hit with COVID-related non-essential travel bans.
Susan has worked to keep her business afloat with some government support and a sprinkling of tourists in late summer. She needs a long-term solution for the loss of foot traffic and loss of suppliers.
What she really needs are new customers and a way to find them cost-effectively. She also needs to figure out a way to get her products to buyers without eating too much into her profits.
She knows she needs to digitize her business, get online. She just doesn't know where to start, what's most important, what tools she needs, what skills… the list goes on. And, she doesn't really have much extra capital. She's been eating away at her savings over the last few months. She's feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
Susan googled loans, grants and subsidies for BC businesses. Innovate BC came up. They offer COVID-19 recovery programming to business owners in the form of digital skills hiring grants, no-cost business coaching and even access to local connections. Plus, it looks like Innovate BC's programs are focused on regional communities like hers and give special consideration for underrepresented groups.
Susan was able to get
4-month digital marketing contract subsidized
Help from a local business coach to build out an action plan
Access to complimentary content and resources…
Plus, Susan got connected to other local business owners. She's built a strong peer support network.
Six months later Susan has her website up and running, an online store, inbound requests from suppliers, and even asks for her product from markets outside of North America. She's way ahead of where she was a few months ago, and best of all she has recovered most of her sales revenue. Looks like she'll also avoid the seasonal dips of off-peak season.

With help from InnovateBC, Susan has her website up and running, an online store and has recovered most of her sales revenue lost when COVID-related restrictions slowed traveller visits to her store.

Mainstream counterterror analysts such as the earnestly befuddled Max Abrahms constantly assure us that the Islamic State is not Islamic and that jihadis are ignorant of Islam. They never explain, because they cannot explain, how it is that jihadis believe themselves to be the exponents of true and authentic Islam, if they're getting it all so terribly wrong. In any case, here is yet another example of these non-Islamic Muslims behaving as if Islam were very, very, important to them. What a paradox! What a mystery!
Freed Yezidi women and children from Iraq recounted their time as prisoners and slaves of the self-proclaimed Islamic State ISIS on Friday and Saturday, after reportedly being rescued by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) from the final ISIS-held enclave near Baghouz on Thursday.
Twenty-two-year-old Selwa Seydo and 20-year-old Teysir Sileman Hussein, freed Yezidi women from Iraq's Shingal District, recounted their time as ISIS prisoners while speaking from the Syrian village of al-Suwar, Deir ez-Zor Governorate on Friday.
"We stayed in Mosul for around 10 months. When he and his family had issues with ISIS, ISIS took me from him and brought me back to Raqqa. I was, of course, a handmaid to them," she added.

River Selja becomes more fish-friendly thanks to EU-funded project
The Varangu old water mill on the Selja River. Source: Dmitri Fedotkin/ERR
The State Forest Management Center (RMK) has been working to make the Varangu dam on the Selja River in Lääne-Viru County, more fish-friendly. The dam, which is on the migration route of salmon and other fish, had previously proved challenging for weaker swimmers to negotiate. The new reconstruction work aims to rectify that, ensuring that all fish can pass through, irrespective of their swimming ability.
For many years, the Varangu dam on the Selja River in Haljala Municipality, Lääne-Viru County, provided a major obstacle for migratory fish. While the weir and bridge structures had decayed over the years, the concrete floor of the bridge pillars continued to cause problems, particularly for those species of fish, which are not such strong swimmers. In particular, issues arose each year during periods of low tide, when water levels above the concrete floor were minimal (often around 5 cm). This also meant that fish attempting to move upstream were unable to do so unless they could first jump over a 70cm-high step.
"Now, Wildlife Estonia (Eesti Loodushoiu Keskus) has installed special equipment on the rapids downstream from the former dam. The aim is to find out, this year and over the coming years, whether the European river lamprey (lampetra fluviatilis), which was previously unable to get over the dam, will (now) manage to migrate further up the Selja River. We have already seen that salmon and trout can successfully cross the barrier and use it as a spawning ground," said Sander Sandberg, aquatic wildlife specialist in RMK's Nature Conservation Department.
"The Varangu water mill dam has a weir downstream, and because the landowner wanted to retain the bridge pillars and restore the bridge itself for crossing the river, the concrete floor, which caused problems in periods when water levels were low, had to be retained during the works. While restoring the bridge pillars, a solution was found whereby the bridge deck would remain passable for fish during periods when water levels are low. It involves diverting most of the water between the bridge's central pillars," explained Sandberg.
"In order to enable the salmon to spawn upstream, a natural-looking artificial rapids has been created, with a low-flow channel in the middle, so that the fish have a place to swim when water levels are low," said Henri Gostsõllo, construction manager at Nordpont, the company responsible for the renovations.
"The rocks are positioned in such a way, that if the fish want to rest when moving uphill from here, they can go behind the rocks to do that and make plans," said Gostsõllo.
The reconstruction work, which was funded by the European Union's Cohesion Fund, cost in excess of €360,000.

up the nice quality writing, it's rare to see a nice blog like this one these days.


So we just wrapped week 25. I need to make little notes to myself throughout the week because by the time I sit down to write this I'm like, "Well, I know some stuff happened…".
Blame it on the pregnancy brain. This is something I always chocked up to being a pregnancy myth, but my God is it so very real! I'm a total space cadet some days, just staring without a clue what I should be doing.
On the other hand, I think that nesting bug might be starting to show itself as when I'm not spacing I can't seem to get enough done. Yesterday, for instance, I took on Sam's, the grocery store, Target, and then took down and packed up all the Christmas decorations. I keep getting this overwhelming since that WE ARE NOT READY! I mean, we only have a crib, five pairs of socks and a sippy cup she can't use until Halloween. I want to go to Babies R Us and Target and stock up on anything and everything we do and could possibly need and start stacking it up. But that makes no sense. I have an incredible group of family and friends who are collectively throwing three showers this spring… so I need to wait. The likelihood of getting five diaper genies is probably inevitable, and I certainly won't need the sixth that I purchase myself.
Last week I took an afternoon off work and treated myself to an hour-long pre-natal massage (compliments of said work). I can't even express how much I needed this. My back is shot, and currently this is my greatest and most legitimate complaint. If I'm standing "straight," my back looks like the capital letter C. My yoga helps and I'm trying to get up and move as much as I can during the day. Shelton's great about trying to work out the kinks too. I'm just carrying so much extra weight up front that I feel like my back is screaming MAYDAY and waving a white flag. That or the baby has actually wrapped herself around my spine and is riding it like a fireman's pole.
Duh, Duh, Duhhhhh…. the spotting is back. Oh is it back. I think today is like 11 days straight. I waited a week this time to call the doctor and the response was the same as usual – this is normal for you, as long as it doesn't dramatically change, baby is moving normally, etc. etc. then you're fine. I don't panic about it like I did in the early days, it's just annoying and certainly offers a little sense of unease.
But moving normally she is! My goodness, this kid is a mover and a shaker. (Dear God, please don't let it be her father's ADD!! Amen and thank you.) She's active throughout the day and then gives us one final show as we climb in to bed and I don't hear anything out of her again until breakfast. Sometimes during one of my 37 nightly trips to the bathrooms she'll say hey, but otherwise I'm either numb to it or she's just a good night sleeper, and we really, REALLY hope that continues when she gets here.
We had the opportunity to have dinner with some dear friends who were in town this past week. They are due exactly two weeks before us with a little girl and we told one another we were pregnant on the same day. It's so exciting to be sharing this with them! Over dinner the Mister of the couple commented on how it seems I have every pregnancy symptom you could. I laughed and agreed. The Missus of the couple seems to be having the most uneventful, effortless pregnancy (good for her!). He asked if I were at least enjoying it and I realized, maybe I complain about the aches, pains and symptoms too much. I can't even describe how much I'm enjoying being pregnant. It's positively amazing and has exceeded every expectation I had. I think Shelton would echo that.
It's going to be very bittersweet when our little girl gets here. This is the only time I'm going to be pregnant, and I think I'm going to be very sad to let it go. But I'm sure the joy from having our daughter in our arms will make up for it!
Last week we finally got confirmation on where we will be delivering. It's not my choice hospital, but, I'm hearing a lot of good things and we're going to make the most of it.
So now we're starting the last week of this second trimester and OH DEAR GOD SOMEONE HOLD ME we're on the homeward stretch. Woohoo!

Brescia University offers degree in business agriculture
OWENSBORO, Ky. – Brescia University President Larry Hostetter made two major announcements at the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce September Rooster Booster breakfast on Thursday.
Brescia has been approved by the SACSCOC (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges) and the Council on Postsecondary Education of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to begin offering a bachelor of science in agricultural business starting in January 2019.
This program is part of an articulation agreement with Owensboro Community and Technical College.
Students will earn an associates in applied science in agricultural studies (already in existence) there then continue their education at Brescia with business and agriculture business classes tailored to the student's agriculture background in order to complete a bachelor's degree in agricultural business.
No other Kentucky institution is currently offering a bachelor's degree program of this kind that provides a pathway for community college graduates with an associate of applied science degree to complete a bachelor's degree in four years.
Brescia hopes to repeat this articulation agreement with other schools in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). New and adapted courses at Brescia include contemporary issues in agriculture, natural resources economics, environmental economics, and mathematical methods in agricultural economics. Rohnn Sanderson will direct the program.
Hostetter said, "The agriculture business major is a fitting new addition to Brescia's academic offerings. With the study of natural resources and current ecological issues combined with one of our anchor programs in the Albert C. Reid School of Business, students will be able to apply ethical use and care for the land in the global industry of food service production. The program embodies several elements of Caritas, selfless love, and uniquely balances stewardship with economics. There is no greater human service than providing food to another, and this degree option will enable this service in a rewarding career option for our graduates."
New residence halls to be constructed
In addition, in response to the record breaking first-time full-time enrollment and continued projected growth in the resident student numbers, Hostetter announced the plan to construct the first of two 2-story, 36-bed residence halls with construction beginning immediately and concluding prior to Aug. 1, 2019. The first residence hall will be located on the west side of the 600 block of St. Ann Street where three bungalow homes once stood. The second will be located on Eighth Street on the university's south side.
EOA architects in Nashville, Tenn. will be completing the drawings within the next two weeks and a contractor will be selected by month's end. The estimated cost is $1.5 million. This will be the third construction project in as many years to be undertaken by the university.
The university broke ground on the $9 million Field Center located on the corner of Ninth and Frederica streets in April 2018. Construction is currently underway with a projected completion date of January 2020. The renovation of the Moore Center began in spring 2016 and opened in August 2017.
These projects are part of a 30-year Master Plan initiative. The university launched The Gateway to Our Second Century capital campaign in October 2014 with a goal of raising $10 million. Currently, $13.5 million has been raised with an increased goal of raising an additional $1 million this year.
