Ben Leach Head Age Group Coach
Email: ben.leach@utexas.edu
I have a passion to see people excel in athletics, the classroom and most importantly in life. Through swimming it is my hope to instill character, integrity and wisdom into the lives of the athletes I coach so that it may be life changing.
My experience includes 15 years of competitive swimming and 7 years of coaching. As a swimmer, I started on a summer league team at age 6, and progressed into club and high school swimming. I was then privileged to be accepted on the men's swim team at the University of the Incarnate Word and competed through my sophomore year. I then transferred to The University of Texas at Austin to finish my degree in Sport Management with a minor in Business Administration.
I started coaching swimming when I was 18 for the local summer league team, in addition to providing private swim lessons. After doing that for 4 summers, I moved on to club coaching with Nitro Swimming in Austin. As the Lead Silver coach, I worked primarily with age group swimmers and assisted with the National Development group weekly. My most recent experience comes from coaching with Aggie Swim Club as an assistant coach for the Senior group for the past year.
I am excited to be apart of the South Shore Sails coaching staff and look forward to what the future holds here in League City.

SNOHOMISH — As the rain returns, permeates the ground, and from there the Puget Sound, it often encounters harmful substances that can contaminate local waters.
At the city's Healthy Homes = Healthy Waters fair last week, water-health presenters came complete with realistic props to demonstrate.
On a bright green pad of artificial grass, simulated dog droppings elicited distaste but an opportunity to learn.
Participants were invited to bag up the waste and toss it into the trash, keeping canine and feline waste out of the water.
At a booth focused on recycling, presenters stressed that the pet waste did need to go into the trash, not compost. Canines are carnivores and while compost benefits from the manure of herbivores like cows, the bacteria in pet waste makes it unsafe for garden use, said a representative from environmental sustainability agency ECOSS.
Chemical yard and home cleaning products were also on presenters' do-not-use lists. WSU Sustainable Community stewards passed out Green Cleaning cookbooks, encouraging attendees to cheaply and easily concoct their own effective but gentler-to-the-environment cleansers.
Hands on learning meant stirring together half a cup of baking soda and a quarter cup of hydrogen peroxide, then adding one teaspoon of dish soap to create a multi-purpose cleaner for tile, porcelain and grout cleaner.
Salmon and the whales who feed on them depend on clean, cool waters to thrive and breed, explained David Bain of Sno-King Watershed Council. Avoiding chemicals and cleaning up after pets were both important to that aim. Bain advocated planting trees to provide riverside shade that cooled local rivers. He added that planting native shrubs helped nourish the fish as dragonfly would lay eggs on them, which would develop into larvae that fed the salmon.
There were attractions and lessons for children, too. A neon pink swimming pool held plastic fish of each of the five salmon species with trivia questions on their undersides; King, Sockeye, Coho, Pink and Chum.
Children, and grownups, could simulate rain by squeezing a wet sponge above a plastic town model where oils preapplied to the road turned into an ugly slime as the water and oil mixed and ran downhill into a model pond.
As they learned about the importance of avoiding water pollution for humans and other species, visitors were asked to take simple actions to protect water quality. Organizers said healthier homes and better water were as simple as; keeping oil and grease out of drains, using a car wash, planting native plants, picking up litter and using reusable shopping bags.


New question... do we incorporate the city symbol somewhere into the forge?
Into the floor of the viewing platform?
That could work. Do you have time to play now? Perhaps we could start preparations for actually building this, like starting the tunnel to the area.

Q: Reading parts of a text file EDIT: I guess this thread can be closed, since all my questions have been answered! Thanks to everyone who helped me!
EDIT: I stumbled upon an error at openFileInput("myfilename.txt");. This is the error: The method openFileInput(String) is undefined for the type Game. I read an answer here: Android File I/O openFileInput() undefined, but must admit that I don't quite understand it...
I'm trying to read parts of a text file, till the token ";". This is the code I wrote:
InputStream instream = openFileInput("myfilename.txt");

String line=null;

InputStreamReader inputreader = new InputStreamReader(instream);
BufferedReader buffreader = new BufferedReader(inputreader);

while((line=buffreader.readLine())!=null){
    String[] parts=line.split(";");
    int intOne = Integer.parseInt(parts([0]);
    int intTwo = Integer.parseInt(parts([1]);
    String strLine = parts([3]);
}

public static void Start(){
    while(there is text in the file){
        // read first line till ';';
        // name that variable intOne;
        // read first line after ';' till next ';';
        // name that variable intTwo;
        // read next line, declare as strLine;
        // System.out.println(strLine);
    }
}

Beneath it is the idea of what it should do. But I have some questions:

*

*Am I right to say that the String[] parts is an array?

*I want to have a bigger file, but read only 3 lines per loop. Or could I, when I have a file of 100 lines, read that all at once, then recall them from the parts[]? Or would that take way too much time?

*Where should the text file be? When I'm testing in Eclipse, in the project folder? And when I export it inside the jar?
Hope someone can answer my questions!
(My source is: Read specific string from each line of text file using BufferedReader in java, all credits to Gilbert Le Blanc!)
EDIT: When I do this in the file:
Hello,
I am coding;

Will the pars[0] be Hello,, because that's one line, or Hello, I am coding? And will it take the enter with it?
Another EDIT:
I wish to create some sort of textbased RPG engine, where you only have to edit the text file, to change the story. For example (in the text file):
30;60;       //Score needed for this piece of the story
Hello!;      // The text
Hi!;5;       // The first possible answer; the score you'll get when you answer this
Shut up!;-5; // The second possible answer; the score you'll get when you answer this

A: What you rly want is reading one char after another. I used some nice BufferedSegmentReader from the framework Smooks, which could be interesting for you. Look at the sourcecode here:
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.milyn/milyn-smooks-all/1.5/org/milyn/edisax/BufferedSegmentReader.java
It reads characters one after another from a stream and puts it into a StringBuffer. There are delimiters to indicate when one "segment" is done reading, and after that you can work with this segment till you tell the BufferedSegmentReader to move on.
I think this rly suits your case and is an approach you are looking for.

Building insiders warn of potential fallout from suspension of CodeMark certificates
8:43 am on 27 July 2018
Phil Pennington, Reporter
@pjppenn phil.pennington@rnz.co.nz
Building owners and designers are struggling to deal with the suspension of key approval certificates for aluminium panels similar to those that burned on London's Grenfell Tower a year ago.
The charred remains of clading are pictured on the outer walls of the burnt out shell of the Grenfell Tower block in north Kensington, west London on June 22, 2017. Photo: AFP
They are not sure what the order by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) means for consents, liability, and insurance cover for high-rise buildings that have the panels.
The ministry has suspended six CodeMark certificates for 13 types of panel because there is not enough proof they are resistant to fire.
But it said its post-Grenfell inquiries had not unearthed any evidence the semi-combustible FR panels were dangerous.
That's disputed by fire engineer Tony Enright who did the panels audit for the ministry late last year that led to the certificates' suspension.
The FR panel had failed fire testing overseas, he said.
"The decision by MBIE to suspend these flawed certificates is a good one, but it really is only a first step," Dr Enright said.
"And if MBIE had taken a precautionary approach back in November they'd have suspended and avoided eight months' worth of questionable products being installed on New Zealand's buildings."
Owner of Auckland company Kaneba, Jan Gouws, said he supplies five types of panel systems caught up in the suspension.
He was fielding calls from architects asking if they should call a halt to projects.
"We don't have clear guidance to see if, where there has been a building consent issued, if it's going to affect those projects when code compliance time arrives," Mr Gouws said.
MBIE acting building system assurance manager Paul Hobbs said councils could no longer rely on the CodeMark certificate as a deemed-to-comply route.
That meant that where a consent had not been granted councils might want more information, such as a fire engineering report.
But where a project already had a consent, its CodeMark certificate remained in force, Mr Hobbs said.
However, the Insurance Council said it was not as simple as that.
"That may be the letter of the law from MBIE - [but] what we are saying is, you'd be well advised to ring your insurer and ask, given that you have these panels, whether that affects your insurance cover," the council's Tim Grafton said.

"Regardless of the law, insurers want people to be in safe buildings."
Property Council head of advocacy Matt Paterson said the suspensions showed how badly broken the CodeMark scheme was, and building owners might well ask who should be liable for that.
"I could understand if people were feeling shortchanged if they used these in good faith thinking that they were quality certificates."
Auckland civil litigation lawyer Andrew Hough said liability would fall mainly on councils but could extend to the ministry if it had been warned about the certificates.
"I would say that the councils are probably looking at sharing most of the liability in this case because they have multiple responsibilities under the Building Act, and that liability has been set in stone through various decisions," Mr Hough said.
RNZ understands the ministry it had been warned two years ago.
A knee-jerk move?
Queensland company CertMark, which issued all the suspended certificates, called it a knee-jerk move.
It recently had come up with more detailed certificates, and CertMark's chief executive John Thorpe made this plea to the ministry: "Would you please consider the revised certificates ... that we put forward to you, that we feel contain all the information that you feel are lacking in the original certificates. And allow us to issue those certificates and let our clients get on in the marketplace with them."
But the ministry's Paul Hobbs said they had been very clear with CertMark that there was now a three-month deadline to sort out the certificates or they could be revoked permanently.
Mr Thorpe said both the CodeMark system and its certificates, though only a page long, were good enough - though his revised ones were four or five pages, like the revised ones being used in Australia.
However, Kaneba's Jan Gouws said builders were not even reading the one-page certificates, and longer ones would not help if the Auckland Council continued to fail to enforce the conditions attached to them.
"Our CodeMark certificates ... clearly state that we need to look at the work to make sure people do the right thing, but we've never been pointed to a building consent where that's a requirement."
Auckland Council said it was now working with other big-city authorities on a common approach to consenting aluminium composite panels, and awaiting more information from the ministry to do that.
The biggest change in their approach for consents yet to be approved will be that they no longer rely on CodeMark certificates as evidence of code compliance, Auckland Council general manager building consents Ian McCormick said.
"This will result, in most cases, in requests for the applicant to provide additional evidence to demonstrate the design meets the relevant performance requirements of the Building Code."
NZ still using 'seriously flawed' building product assessment
A controversial audit that found fault with New Zealand building controls after the fatal Grenfell Tower fire is ringing alarm bells across the Tasman.
Govt suspends six CodeMark certificates for composite panels
Certificates for virtually all the types of aluminium composite panel used on high-rises in New Zealand have been suspended.
Govt, product quality checker at odds over CodeMark scheme
The government and a key agency are at odds over what's being called a "broken" and "failing" building products assurance scheme.
Cladding consents causing delays in construction
Growing uncertainty around the fire safety rules for cladding on high-rise buildings is beginning to bite on the construction sector.

Securities Regulators Back IBM In Shareholder Pension Dispute
a Wall Street Journal Staff Reporter
WASHINGTON -- The Securities and Exchange Commission turned down a proposed shareholder resolution that would have stopped International Business Machines Corp. from including gains on its pension funds in calculating profits that affect executive bonuses.
Pensions have been a contentious issue at the Armonk, N.Y., company since it switched from paying defined benefits to a cash-balance plan in 1999.
IBM Holders Defeat Pension Resolution; Employee-Led Issue Gets 28.4% of Votes (April 26, 2000)
IBM Will Adopt 'Cash-Balance' Plan for U.S. Employees' Pension Program (May 4, 1999)
Company Profile: International Business Machines
This year a group of retirees and employees sponsored a resolution that would have required that "Future executive incentive compensation be determined by profit from real company operations not including accounting rule profit from pension fund surplus." As at many other companies, IBM's pension-fund surplus, fueled by the rising stock market, has boosted reported profits.
James Leas, a South Burlington, Vt., attorney currently on leave from his job at IBM, said employees see a conflict of interest. He said that because growth of the surplus is included in profits, and executive compensation is tied to profit growth, executives have an incentive to cut pension benefits. "They use it to generate larger profits so they can take more money out of the company," Mr. Leas said.
An IBM spokeswoman said it is "misleading for Mr. Leas to continue to suggest that IBM executives deliberately build the surplus in the pension fund for their own benefit." She said the surplus depends on market conditions, and added that IBM follows federal accounting and disclosure regulations regarding its pension fund.
The SEC agreed with IBM's argument that the resolution addressed "ordinary business operations," which aren't subject to shareholder votes.
At IBM's annual meeting on April 24, shareholders will vote on a resolution proposed by Mr. Leas giving employees a choice between the new and old pensions. Last year, the proposal got 28% of the vote.
WASHINGTON -- The Securities and Exchange Commission turned down a proposed shareholder resolution that would have stopped International Business Machines Corp.

Impact Acquires Trackonomics, Boosts Publisher Commerce Content Capabilities
Acquisition accelerates Impact's market leadership position in publisher partnership technology
Impact, the global leader in partnership automation today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Trackonomics Ltd, the leading supply-side platform (SSP) designed for publishers' commerce-driven content. This acquisition enhances Impact's Partnership Cloud publisher technology capabilities.
For some of the largest and most recognizable names in digital commerce transformation, Trackonomics provides full-funnel revenue attribution at the page and the link level – telling publishers exactly how every page is generating income or losing it. This technology enables publishers to make better and quicker decisions: what to write about and who to partner with across all segments and networks in the industry. It's also clearly resonating among publishers as Trackonomics has doubled its revenue and client roster in the past 12 months.
"The consumer backlash against disruptive and let's face it, annoying ads, has led to Google's upcoming changes to tracking cookies and Apple's privacy updates, which most would agree is a move in the right direction…unless you ask marketers," said David A. Yovanno, CEO at Impact. "But content publishers have innovated new commerce-driven content formats that introduce a degree of authenticity that has been missing in traditional advertising. Brands now have opportunities to leverage that consumer trust through partnerships with these content publishers."
The most successful publishers maintain their audience's trust by adhering to their own integrity standards and ensuring the brand or product they endorse aligns with their publication and most importantly, audience.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Impact – a company that has technology and innovation in its very foundation, and a strong global presence that can bring Trackonomics to new publishers across the globe," said Hanan Maayan, CEO at Trackonomics. "Together, we will continue to build game changing products for influencers and commerce-centric publishers, work to reduce deal friction and increase volume and velocity across our industry."
Impact has led the partnerships category creation, adding 577 new clients in FY2020 and, in the past few years, has enhanced its platform offerings through the acquisitions of Mediarails, a partnerships-based CRM platform, and, more recently, Activate, an influencer marketing platform.
Impact is the global leader in Partnership Automation and catalyst for the new Partnership Economy. Impact accelerates enterprise growth by automating the full partnership life cycle, including discovery, recruitment, contracting, engagement, fraud protection, optimization, and payment processing for enterprise partnerships. Impact drives revenue growth for global enterprise brands such as 1-800-Flowers, Fanatics, Lenovo, Levi's, L'Oreal, Ticketmaster and TUI. Founded in Santa Barbara, CA, in 2008, Impact has grown to more than 500 employees worldwide. To learn more visit www.impact.com.

Jeff Foster is Principal at GGLO in Seattle. He's focused on housing and neighborhoods, and is always looking for transformational opportunities to build community. Jeff served as a co-lead in developing the Healthy Housing for All publication. GGLO projects have also been featured in the Assembly: Civic Design Guidelines and various CfAD case studies.
The Center for Active Design sat down with Jeff to learn more about his work, and discuss the value that comes from connecting affordable housing to vibrant public spaces.
We know quality, affordable housing is a boon to the health of the residents who live there. How can affordable projects incorporate public space amenities that benefit the broader community—to enhance physical, mental, and social wellbeing for everyone?
No project exists in a vacuum. When GGLO takes on a master planning project, we make sure urban design and public space considerations are a central consideration. How does the project interface with surrounding neighborhoods? How can we knit neighbors together, and connect residents to broader opportunities in the surrounding community? Vibrant community gathering spaces and multi-modal streetscape improvements are essential to achieving these goals.
The 10th Avenue Hillclimb in Seattle illustrates this perspective nicely. This vital public space overcomes topographical challenges to connect the Yesler Terrace community with surrounding neighborhoods – especially Little Saigon. This was a commitment Seattle Housing Authority made as part of the larger context of redevelopment. The Hillclimb intertwines stairs, ramps, and bike runnels to maximize accessibility for all community members. Seating, lighting, and public art make the Hillclimb a great place to socialize or take in the view.
What are some of the challenges you've come across in designing great public spaces for affordable communities? How do you overcome them?
Our greatest challenge, and aspiration, is to ensure our designs meet unique community needs. In many of the projects we've worked on, we've sought to move past potential language and cultural barriers to facilitate dialogue and build new partnerships. Community engagement is often required in Seattle area projects, but we aim to push beyond 'ticking the boxes', and make engagement an upfront priority.
Take Greenbridge in King County, for example. There were over 100 meetings with residents, neighbors, business leaders, public agencies, and the surrounding community. Creating a new master plan for this site meant having translators on hand at several key meetings so that we could genuinely listen to residents – in five languages (!) – about what was most important to them in the community. After all, what's the point of creating a public space that doesn't serve the people who live there?
Addressing community needs can require us to challenge the status quo when it comes to zoning and regulations. At Greenbridge, we found out that only a fraction of the residents owned cars—so why overbuild for parking when we could adapt more land to pedestrian trails, community gardens, pocket parks, and more? The team worked with King County to develop a unique Demonstration Ordinance, and we were able to validate the theory that a mixed-income neighborhood can dramatically benefit from dedicating less space to cars.
We know affordable projects can have very tight budgets. How do you address any pushback around the costs of healthy design features?
With health as a priority upfront, project design can adapt features that are likely required as amenities to do double-duty. On larger sites, bicycle and pedestrian amenities are a way to meet open or green space requirements and provide opportunity for residents to get outside and enjoy them. We have designed projects that include active/open stairs, bridges, rooftop amenities, etc. that help operators sell their project, and provide ways for residents to move around the buildings they live in.
We find that vibrant public spaces can benefit our projects and neighborhoods that they are in, making a mixed-income community more appealing to all residents of all income tiers. Investing in a great public realm also boosts surrounding property values, which has tremendous appeal to homeowners and market rate developers.
Mission aside, cost-effective solutions drive decisions. Health is an essential and recurring theme in all our community engagement processes and in our design work. Consumer demand for healthy neighborhoods is on the rise, and from a financial standpoint, the motivation to "build healthy" will continue to grow – it's common sense.
Anything else you'd like to share? Perhaps another project to highlight?
It may sound surprising coming from an architect, but often the spaces in between buildings make great places. Certainly, they are symbiotic—a beautiful park or public plaza that generates local pride can be the catalyst to engender a sense of ownership in a neighborhood, and continue to make it a vibrant place.
We're seeing this happen in Caldwell, Idaho, where Landscape Architects at GGLO worked with the community to design Indian Creek Plaza. This unique space is designed for year-round activity; a summertime splash pad becomes a ribbon for ice skating in the winter. With music festivals, farmers markets, and a local retail corridor, Indian Creek has created a new attraction that's a draw for nearby residents as well as visitors from out of town.

They make up 95 per cent of the cosmos, and yet we know next to nothing about them. Meet dark energy and dark matter. They're what the universe is made of.
Humans have long looked to the skies and wondered. Wondered what's out there. What the cosmos is made of, whether we would ever get to explore it, what our part in it is. In the intervening thousands of years, some small questions have been answered, but many – many – remain. Astronomers agree that the stuff we can see and understand accounts for just five per cent of what's out there. That means the other 95 per cent is left for us still to explore. Within that 95 per cent there are two distinct groups – cold dark matter and dark energy – but exactly what they are continues to baffle the biggest brains in the business.
Despite not knowing what it's made of and being unable to 'see' it directly with our most powerful tools, most experts agree dark matter must exist because so much circumstantial evidence points to it. Only with this huge amount of extra mass in the system can astronomers explain their observations of galaxies' rotational velocity, gravitational lensing and cosmic microwave background radiation. Unless our laws of physics are wrong, dark matter must be there.
From UCL, Lahav is leading the UK's contribution to the Dark Energy Survey (DES), an international effort helping uncover the nature of dark energy by measuring the 14-billion-year history of cosmic expansion. Over the past five years, DES has surveyed and recorded information from 300 million galaxies billions of light years from Earth.
If the efforts to understand dark energy seem extreme, experiments to pin down dark matter require particle physicists like Dr Chamkaur Ghag to go to equal lengths, albeit in the opposite direction. Studying the stars requires telescopes at the highest places on Earth, or in space itself, whereas looking for dark matter must be done deep underground where experiments can be shielded from the background noise created by the massive amount of radiation that bombards the Earth.
Whereas Lahav travels 2,200m above the Chilean coast, Ghag descends 2,400m below the Black Hills of Dakota to work in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), where scientists and engineers have transformed Homestake – once the largest, deepest and most productive gold mine in America – into cutting-edge laboratories. It's here that UCL is part of the LZ Dark Matter Experiment, a US-UK project that's building exquisitely sensitive detectors designed to find the minuscule sub-atomic particles that make up dark matter.
UCL's crucial contribution to the project has been making sure they can account for every single source of radiation in the system. This is essential in these so-called ultra-low background rare event searches. Ghag sought out the ultra-pure titanium the team needed for the vacuum flask – a task that took two years – and then applied the same painstaking precision to each component.
With the UK part of the project nearing completion, one of Ghag's PhD students spent the autumn in South Dakota helping put the detector together, a process that will take more than a year, before entering a commissioning phase so the team can monitor its safety, stability and data quality.
"Safety's critical," Ghag adds. "Ten tonnes of xenon costs $10m, so springing a leak would be costly." Then, in 2020, they'll turn it on and wait for the data – which could answer one of the biggest questions in modern science.
Which leaves one final question. So what? For 300,000 years, humans have existed knowing nothing about dark matter or dark energy. Although there are spin-offs such as the cutting-edge technology and new techniques for big data, which have applications in medicine and finance as well as communications and astrophysics, this is fundamental research about the universe we inhabit.

Free trade port.What is the size of a free trade port?
On June 1, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Overall Plan for the Construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port" and issued a notice requesting all regions and departments to seriously implement it in light of reality. What is the scale of freedom in the so-called free trade port?The so-called free trade port,What is the scale of freedom?
Free movement of people
Implement more convenient visa-free entry measures. Relax the restrictions on foreigners applying for visa-free entry, and allow foreigners to apply for visa-free entry into Hainan for business, visit, family visit, medical treatment, exhibition, sports and other reasons. A 15-day visa-free policy for foreign tourist groups to enter the country by cruise. The further opening of the visa exemption policy is a realistic footnote and an inevitable requirement for "China's door to open wider and wider."
Free circulation of goods
Implement a more open shipping policy and air transport policy. Taking "Yangpu Port of China" as the home port, the inspection process is simplified, the statutory inspection of ships is gradually liberalized, the Hainan Free Trade Port International Ship Registration Center is established, and a convenient and efficient ship registration procedure is innovatively established. Remove the restrictions on the share ratio of foreign capital of ship registration entities. On the basis of reciprocity, promote the realization of the third and fourth air rights to and from Hainan in the bilateral air transport agreement, and expand Hainan free trade, including the fifth air rights, in accordance with China's overall air transport policy The necessary navigation rights arrangements for port construction. Support the pilot opening of the seventh navigation rights in Hainan. Airlines of relevant countries and regions are allowed to carry passenger and cargo services from Hainan to third countries (regions).
Zero tariff
For entry goods consumed by residents on the island, a positive list management is implemented to allow tax-free purchases on the island. Goods and articles subject to "zero tariff" list management are exempted from import duties, import link value added tax and consumption tax.The beneficiaries of zero tariffs have spilled out of the "enterprise" and expanded to ordinary consumers in a specific province and city, and are exclusively enjoyed by the people in this area. This is the first time in the history of mainland China.
Low tax rate
By 2025, 15% of the enterprise income tax will be levied on encouraged industrial enterprises registered in Hainan Free Trade Port and operating substantially. For the tourism, modern service industry, and high-tech industrial enterprises established in Hainan Free Trade Port, the income derived from the new overseas direct investment before 2025 will be exempted from corporate income tax.
Zero threshold
Implementation of the market access commitment is to enter the system. Strict implementation of "non-prohibition and entry", in principle, to cancel the license and approval in areas with mandatory standards, establish a sound filing system, the market subject promises to meet the relevant requirements and submit relevant materials for filing, you can carry out investment operations.

Back in 2013, ridesharing company Uber launched its app for Windows phone devices, but quickly removed it following user complaints claiming that it's nothing more than a web wrapper for the firm's site. In 2014, it officially launched a relatively better Windows Phone 8/8.1 app, which was praised by many as an important piece in closing Microsoft's app gap problem. Then, in late 2015, it unveiled a new app for Windows 10 Mobile and PCs which leveraged the powers of Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and Cortana.
In a way, it can be said that Uber has been a staunch supporter of Microsoft's mobile efforts when most other firms have given up. However, this changes today.
While it's certainly no surprise that Uber has dropped support for the Windows 10 app given the state of Windows 10 Mobile - which diminishes the need for a phone app based on UWP - we have reached out to the company for confirmation and clarification and will update if it responds.


Kick your next salad up a notch with a dollop of Light and Creamy Green Tea Salad Dressing. A lightened up twist on the classic green goddess salad dressing. Here we use fresh basil, parsley, green onions, avocado and a pinch of matcha green tea to get that creamy green goodness that goes oh so well with lots of leafy greens in a simple salad.
This Light and Creamy Green Tea Salad Dressing is a gardeners dream! After finally realizing the water wasn't reaching our basil patch (the reason for it's abysmal growth, which took us more time than I care to admit to figure out), we now have so much we can't keep up. It's a nice problem to have, and the basis for this delicious creamy green salad dressing. Add in some fresh parsley, green onions and lemon juice, or whatever other odds and ends you have in the garden needing to be used up (tarragon, chives etc).
With a yogurt base, it's a bit lighter than the traditional mayonnaise laden salad dressings, but just as flavorful. I also added a little bit of matcha into the dressing to give it a bit of a kick. It pairs so well with the other flavors, and offers a nice little antioxidant boost to your salad, and makes the color greener than green, which I just love!
I have used a few different matcha blends over the years, and this one is my current favorite. It is made by two young French expats who have been living in Japan. I love the story behind the formation of their company, and I love the care taken in cultivating their product. You can check them out here: Buy Rare Matcha Green Tea.
Like I said, this recipe is VERY versatile, so make it your own. Use whatever greens you have on hand that need to be used up – I have had a delicious version using cilantro as a base, rather than basil, and it was just delicious on a Mexican themed salad.

Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and blend together until smooth and creamy. Serve over salad or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week.
Green Goddess salad dressing is one of my favorite dressings. I've never thought about adding matcha, it sounds interesting!
The BEST idea ever! Never thought to make a salad dressing out of Matcha!! Brilliant. Definitely need to try it out!
This one looks so good.Nice idea of using matcha to make dressing!
This is such a creative idea, I bet it tastes amazing! My husband is obsessed with match and I think he will love this!
I'm obsessed with match but never thought about making a dressing, what a great idea!
You should try it out, so great!
Ooh yum, this sounds delicious!!
I love matcha.. and try to add it where ever I can BUT I must say I've never added it in my salad dressing. I cannot wait to try this.. Sounds so awesome.
I've seen matcha used for lots of things but never salad dressing. Sounds yummy.
This looks great! I've used matcha in lattes and in baking, but never in salad dressing. I'm intrigued and can't wait to try it!
It's so good! I usually stick to drinks and baking, but it actually goes really well in a dressing!
I love salads but get bored using the same dressings all the time. I'd love to switch things up and try this one out. Looks healthy and delicious!
This is so good, nice and creamy but not gluggy at all!
I like to bake it into a cake! Also having it plain is delish.
I love matcha in baking as well, such a nice subtle flavor!
I never thought of making a dressing with Matcha tea! I will have to try this recipe, so healthy.
Amazing recipe.I love your idea of using matcha as a dressing.Am surely trying this one soon.
Oh thank you Aditi 🙂 Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
This looks delicious!! I just love making my own salad dressing – one of those things that I never realized how easy it would be until I tried it. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this matcha version!
I love homemade salad dressings! Many of the store bought dressings contain xanthan gum which causes sleep problems so I am always looking for scratch dressings. I need to try yours. Thanks for sharing!
You know I still haven't tried matcha somehow but love the color it gives things.
You should give it a go!! It is definitely great for adding a nice green color to baking, if you like to avoid food coloring etc!
I have never had matcha before, so I'm not sure what my favorite way to have it is. I'm intrigued by the idea of using it in a dressing.

Home❯North Dakota ❯ UND Hockey: Are You Flummoxed Yet?
Home❯North Dakota❯UND Hockey: Are You Flummoxed Yet?
UND Hockey: Are You Flummoxed Yet?
Eric J. Burton
Reading Bruce Ciskie's blog post this morning, I came across a word I've rarely seen used anywhere. So, after watching the University of North Dakota hockey team lose yet another game on Friday night (6-5-2 record), are fans getting frustrated with the current state of affairs? Gauging the post-game reaction on Twitter I would say that it's getting to the boiling point.
We talked a lot in October about the eight-game run against Minnesota, but there are similarities in the streaks. Just consider how dominant both Minnesota and UND have been consistently against the Bulldogs. And look at the quote in my preview blog from UND senior goalie Cam Johnson.
"We felt every game, they can't beat us three games in a row, four games in a row," Johnson said. "There's no way they beat us five games in a row. They just kept beating us. We couldn't figure them out. That last game in the playoffs kind of left a sour taste in our mouth. They had our number last year, but we're going to change that this year."
See, they're just as flummoxed as some UMD fans are.
I have my own theory. Hockey is a game of ebb and flow. Losing and winning streaks are part of the game of hockey. Prior to the current seven-game losing streak, UND owned UMD. It wasn't even close. In 14 games prior to the current streak, UND had beaten UMD in 10 of 14 games.
From the obscure statistic's department, UND has won their eighth national title under the Fighting Hawks nickname, however, since revealing the new logo, UND has yet to beat the Bulldogs.
Obviously, with each Bulldog win, UND fans become a little more frustrated and a portion of their fan base become more and more insufferable, eventually, that smile will subside from their smug faces. They're not going to keep winning forever. Also, to quote the former FLOTUS, Michelle Obama, "When they go low, we go high." I am all for letting them enjoy their brief stint in the spotlight. With a rivalry, you must take the good with the bad.
Finally, I think we need to give credit where credit is due. Also, you have to give some respect to UND's opponent. During a majority of those seven wins, UMD was the better team.
This might be the year the tournament streak ends. Need a TON of improvement if we want to play in late March/April
— Ollie (@aoldenbu) January 20, 2018
Last night, Ollie sent me a tweet and asked if this is finally going to be the year that UND misses the NCAA playoffs. My quick answer, no. While some might disagree with me, I think this year's team is deeper than last year. At least defensively. Minus the high-end talent, UND has more balance through the forward lines and in their d-core. Injuries have affected their forward line continuity.
Per @BruceCiskie: UMD extended its win streak vs NoDak to 7 with 5-3 win last night. Bulldogs have also won 8 straight vs Minnesota. Two impressive runs right there.
— Mike Eidelbes (@INCH) January 20, 2018
Again, I think UND All-American goalie Cam Johnson said it best.
"We felt every game, that they can't beat us three games in a row; they can't beat us four games in a row; there's no way they beat us five games in a row," Johnson told the media during Wednesday's press conference. "And they just kept beating us. They were a pesky team last year. We couldn't figure them out."
Honestly, I don't think any of us thought it would get to this point. The losing streak just kind of snowballed on them.
Johnson isn't the only one that frustrated, following Friday's game, senior forward Trevor Olson express some of the same sentiments.
"More of the same," Olson said in the post-game scrum. "Get behind early on, chasing a lead (yet again). We kind of laid an egg there in the second and had to really push in the third. It was more of the same and we've got to be better tomorrow."
Eventually, the Hawks are going to turn the tables on the Bulldogs. They're going to figure them out and take them to the woodshed. That might happen on Saturday night, it might not happen till next season. Eventually, UND will start another streak against UMD. Right now, the Bulldogs are in the Hawks head. They won't live there forever.

To this point, project management scholars and historians have carried out surprisingly little research on the landmark projects of our past. This paper argues for the need for delineating Project History as a subject area that ties project management with history. The paper presents the need for more research into this area, the nature and the content of this specific subject area, and the potential contributions that might come out of research within it — for history (management history, business history, and technology history) and project management. The paper also gives an overview of the papers included in the special issue, and offers some ideas of future research in Project History.


The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), more commonly known as drones, continues to increase at a steady pace. I recently wrote about the implications for private companies using drones while in the employ of government entities. However, of even wider concern is the increase of drone use in the private sector, and the associated encroachments on the privacy of everyday citizens.
Consideration of these issues is starting to creep into American case law, though tangentially in most cases. Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms only protects rights vis-à-vis the government, so what recourse do Canadian citizens have against private individuals and companies?
The answer depends on your home province. Four Canadian provinces have enacted legislation that creates actionable privacy rights, such that citizens can sue individuals or private entities that encroach on those rights. The key provisions in British Columbia, Newfoundland and Saskatchewan are identical. In these provinces, any wilful act committed without permission that violates a person's privacy is actionable. The person whose privacy is breached does not need to show that he or she has suffered any monetary loss in order to obtain a remedy from the court. Manitoba's law is slightly different, in that the word "wilful" is left out of the statute. Arguably, this creates stronger protections for citizens, as they need not show that a breach of privacy is deliberate – an inadvertent invasion is sufficient. In each of these provinces, determining whether or not a violation of privacy has occurred is based on what is reasonable in the circumstances.
A useful example of how these statutes are applied is the B.C. case of Wasserman vs. Hall. Wasserman and Hall were neighbours in the rural area of Cobble Hill, B.C. After years of friendly relations, a feud ensued over the location of a fence along their shared property line. As the feud escalated, Wasserman put up surveillance cameras that were aimed at the fence line and Hall's residence. At trial, Hall argued that the ongoing surveillance by Wasserman was a breach of Hall's rights under the Privacy Act.
The trial judge concluded that the Hall family "had no reasonable expectation of privacy when working on or in the immediate area of the fence line but did, at all times, have a reasonable expectation of privacy when inside their own home." The judge found that Wasserman's conduct in aiming the surveillance camera towards the Hall residence was wilful, and that there was no legal justification for doing so. In Canadian jurisdictions without privacy legislation, the availability of actionable privacy rights is less clear. In the leading case of Jones vs. Tsige, Ontario's Court of Appeal swept away any doubt as to the existence of a common law right to privacy in that province. The test adopted in Jones for measuring an invasion of privacy shares elements with the statutory tests noted above: the conduct must be intentional; there must be an invasion into a person's private affairs without lawful reason; and the invasion must be unreasonable given the circumstances. However, courts in other provinces have been cautious about adopting the Jones decisio.
What does this mean for those employing drones? Individuals or companies using drones to take photographs or video must consider whether their actions could infringe on the privacy of another. Courts will likely have little difficulty finding that using drones to take photos or videos is a wilful act, or determining whether the drone user has a lawful reason for their actions. However, evaluating the reasonability of an infringement is less straightforward. While there is certainly a spectrum of privacy, as discussed in Wasserman, this may be modified depending on the actions of the wrongdoer.
A single photograph taken of an individual walking down a public street may not be an unreasonable invasion of privacy, but what about a drone that follows that individual and videotapes her while she walks down that same public street? That person would have an argument that her privacy was breached by a drone and its operator, stalking and videoing her every move. Individuals or businesses would do well to consult with privacy law experts before deploying their drones in Canada.


Urjit Patel at the RBI's press conference.
Days before the central board of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is to meet on December 14, embattled RBI governor Urjit Patel on Monday decided to put in his papers, citing 'personal reasons', in what is being seen in the financial markets as a direct fallout of the bruising spat between the country's central bank and the government.
Patel's resignation announcement, which came after market hours, sent shock waves through the financial community, since it was generally believed that despite the serious differences of opinion on a host of issues between the government and RBI, the hostilities had receded somewhat after the previous board meeting of November 19, where the two sides had agreed to a framework to work out some of the thorny issues. Patel had been fighting a battle with the government on issues relating to the autonomy of the central bank. The two sides were on opposite ends relating to how much of RBI's reserves needed to be transferred to the centre, the amount of liquidity to be infused into the financial system and funding for small and medium enterprises.
The spat became public after Patel's deputy, Viral Acharya, made a no-holds-barred speech warning about the potentially catastrophic fallout of undermining the central bank's independence. The government retaliated in what became an unsavoury, and rather unprecedented, media war between the two sides. At that time, rumours had begun swirling that Patel would put in his papers as the attack from the finance ministry got sharper.
However, after the November 19 board meeting it was widely believed that things were gradually coming back to a situation where the differences would be worked upon and the government and the RBI would be able to work together. An RBI board member had also told Fortune India that Patel was unlikely to resign and the government would not invoke section 7 of the RBI Act, under which it could give directions to the central bank.
No self-respecting scholar or academic can work in this government...Next government will have (to) rebuild (the) RBI and many other institutions that have been captured or destroyed.
But Patel's resignation now brings the spotlight firmly back to the spat and is bound to be widely analysed by the international financial community and foreign institutional investors as well.
Former finance minister Yashwant Sinha, now a vocal critic of the Narendra Modi government, told television channel CNBC-TV18: "After the last board meeting of RBI, it was pointed out that everything was hunky-dory, that all the issues have been resolved. So quite clearly the resignation of Patel shows that nothing has changed and things are as bad as before."
Governor Patel's resignation is effective immediately and, officially, for "personal reasons". But there can be little doubt that those reasons are primarily the insistence of the government that it set policy in areas that the RBI believed were its remit. These include regulation of struggling banks (the RBI has been trying to restrict their lending) and the size of the dividend paid by the RBI to the finance ministry (the government wants more).
Prior to taking over as RBI governor on September 4, 2016, Patel had served as deputy governor for three years. While viewed as reticent, Patel was seen mainly as a doer, preferring to shun the limelight and concentrating on managing the affairs at the central bank. In 2014, Patel was also the head of the committee that moved RBI to an inflation-targeting regime, with consumer price inflation as the key focus.


In 2017, Transportation and storage realise 4.3 % of turnover, excluding Financial and Insurance Services and employ 4.0 % of the Principality's private sector employees.
In 2017, Information and Communication account 5.9 % of turnover, excluding Financial and Insurance Services and employ 2.4 % of the Principality's private sector employees.
In 2017, Construction achieves 12.9 % of the turnover, excluding Financial and Insurance Services, employing 9.6 % of the private sector employees of the Principality.
There are 10,627 business leaders within the boards of directors and decision-making bodies of the companies registered in the Trade and Industry Register, as at December 31, 2017. It is an increase of 6.1% compared with the same period in 2016.
Public finances are detailed through the presentation of the National Budget and the Constitutional Reserve Fund (FRC).
Both experience a positive 2017 year, with a developing surplus budget, despite a decline in revenue, and an increasing value of FRC (+7.6%).
In 2017, the retail sector encompassed 801 very different businesses. Together, they make up the fourth largest sector in terms of turnover (excluding financial and insurance activities), at 1.4 billion euros.Variations from year to year should be interpreted with caution, since some types of activity with occasional exceptional performance can influence the overall trend by themselves. Over the long term, turnover is increasing, particularly due to car sales.
The majority of employment indicators were stable in 2017.
In 2017, Manufacturing, mining and quarrying, and others industries achieve 6.2 % of the turnover, excluding Financial and Insurance Services, employing 5.3 % of the employees of the Principality.
Second in terms of its contribution to Monaco's GDP, this sector is the country's largest employer and accounts for the highest number of businesses. It had the third largest turnover among major sectors of the economy (excluding Financial and Insurance Services) in 2017.
The activities covered by this sector are extremely diverse, resulting in significant differences in the structure of businesses and in their contributions to employment and turnover.
The accommodation and food service activities had a difficult year in 2016.
The sector experienced a loss of 246 jobs (-4.1%) and a reduction in turnover of EUR 26 million (-3.9%). Hotels and similar accommodation accounted for 208 of the job losses and EUR 25.6 million of the drop in turnover.
Good performance by restaurants and mobile food service activities (+EUR 3.3 million) did not make up for the decline in the other NAF groups.
For the third consecutive year, turnover in the Wholesale Trade sector has declined. With a fall of 9 % in 2015, smaller than in 2013 and 2014, the sector has seen its turnover drop by more than 42 % in three years, declining from 8 billion to 4.6 billion. It nevertheless represents more than a third of the Principality's turnover, excluding Financial and Insurance Activities.
The Wholesale Trade sector does not employ a large workforce; the creation of wealth is largely derived from the gross operating surplus of companies in the sector. As in previous years, the drop in turnover did not affect employment, which continued to grow (+4 %), accounting for 5 % of total employment.
This first issue of Focus analyses the automotive industry, which is traditionally defined by the matching of supply (production of vehicles) with demand (vehicle registrations).
In the Principality, other than Venturi, the market is based only on vehicle registrations. Statistics on the automotive industry market therefore only relate to registrations carried out by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Office. The period examined was the first six months of 2012.
Each sector-specific Focus presents an annual analysis of a specific major economic sector (MES), providing an overview of the sector using the following economic indicators: employment, turnover and contribution to gross domestic product.
While the lines of analysis remain the same in each Focus, the phenomena observed may be illustrated by the addition of complementary information depending on the sector under review.
General information: N and N-1 data are provisional datasets which may be enriched. N-2 data is definitive. Monaco Statistics publishes the latest available data. Unless otherwise indicated, financial data is given in millions of euro (€M).
In some tables, due to rounding, the results of the groups may not always correspond to the sum of the elements of which they are composed.
NAF: The adoption of the French classification of activities (NAF, Rev. 2, 2008) on 1 January 2012 required a redefinition of the major economic sectors (MES). In order to reflect as closely as possible the reality of Monaco's economy, 12 major economic sectors were retained, based on an aggregation of the 21 NAF 2008 sections (Level 1). Depending on the MES under review, the Focus presents employment and turnover data by NAF division (Level 2) or NAF group (Level 3).
Employment: the data is sent by the Monaco Social Security Funds on the first Saturday of March N+1. The number of jobs is the number declared to the Social Security Funds for the month of December. To make it more relevant, data on hours worked and wages is presented for the year to date. This data may be revised following adjustments made by the Social Security Funds.
Turnover: the data, which comes from VAT declarations for the submission period and is collected by the Department of Tax Services, is as of 31 December of year N. Monaco Statistics extracts two datasets on 31 March N+1: for 31/12/N and for 31/12/N-1.
GDP: the Principality has retained the GDP approach as an indicator of revenue in the absence of national accounting. Data relating to the gross operating surplus of Monegasque businesses is obtained via a survey. The GDP for year N is usually published by Monaco Statistics during November of the year N+1. Since Focuses are published from April N+1, the GDP by sector data presented relates to the year N-1.

DJ SO HYPE
Derrick Reeves (born in January 1989), known as Hype or DJ So Hype, is an American DJ and producer of Segway music. "Hype", meaning extravagant or intensive publicity or promotion., suits his personality and skillset perfectly when talking about his craft. This is due to his well-known ability to work with any genre of music, or combination of multiple genres at one time, to produce dynamic and high energy music sets. In addition Hype is quite known by most in the industry for possessing one of the most critical skillsets of being a professional DJ, which is the ability to read the crowd and change a performance on-the-fly in order to keep the energy of the event high. It is because of these two aspects that the name "Hype" became perfectly fitting. But no matter what you call him or whether or not you've ever seen him perform, one thing is for sure, when he's performing for you, you will surely know it. A triple threat of music talent, personality, and fashion sense Hype has become a member in a class all his own.
Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada Hype has rightfully established himself in the most elite class of DJs, continuously and regularly playing all venues and events ever worth mentioning in this global mecca of nightlife alongside just about any major artist you can think of in today's pop culture. As the resident DJ since 2004 of some of Vegas' hottest clubs and lounges including Rum Jungle, Jet Nightclub & Koi Nightclub inside of the Planet Hollywood. Hype has also resided at Town Square since the Grand Opening in 2007 as still a Senior in High School every Friday & Saturday for Nu Sanctuary & Blue Martini, located inside of Town Square. Additionally, Hype is known for frequently playing such venues as Revolution, Gold Lounge, Foundation Room, Neche, and Chateau so as you can see (if you are familiar with any of the hotspots in Las Vegas Nightlife from the last 12 years to present) there isn't a place that he hasn't blown the roof off of.
Additionally, when he's not tearing it up in Sin City he also regularly jet-sets all the top entertainment meccas that this country has worth mentioning (LA, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Miami). 2018 marks his twelfth year running with a continuous residency on the Las Vegas Strip. Hype can also be found heating up tours across the country with some of your favorite artists to date. But no matter where you see him it's guaranteed to be a night to remember so come prepared. And as you can see there is a reason why so many of his peers call him "The Hardest Working Man In The Business" (averaging between 300 and 350 performances a year, due to performing multiple times daily throughout the Las Vegas Club & Community Scene).
The middle brother of three, Shift was born in Ridgecrest, California. After living there for 3 months after his birth his mother moved to Inglewood, California. His mother, worked as a Surgical Tech a good life early on for the family, while be a single mother with 3 boys. He can remember many times as a kid being in the company of his mother growing up listening to Theo from 92.3 in Souther California which developed his love for music from Old to New. Soon after that the family was relocated to Henderson, Nevada when he was thirteen years old. It was during this part of his life that he was extensively exposed deejaying by the last day of school of 2003 by finding 1 turntable & 1 mixer in the trash can. Soon after receiving the abandoned DJ equipment, Hype 3 days later used his saved up lunch money to purchase 1 more turntable from the pawn shop. For a full 4 months Hype practiced only using 3 vinyls, Rick James "Mary Jane", Talib Kweli's "Get By" & Wu-Tangs "Triumph". Hype attended Green Valley High School where he ran Varsity Cross Country and Track, JV BasketBall, President of the Krump Club & President of the Student Body Club. Outside of school he was also very active in the deejaying house parties, school dancers & a popular teen nightclub called "Club Frozen" while working at a Dry Cleaners part time along with working full time for 97.5 (Partially responsible for his name "Hype"). Close to graduation Hype wanted to attend college for the Computer Tech field, however do to his very social demeanor and deep passion for music and nightlife throughout his life he quickly knew that something in those areas was definitely where he belonged.
At age 16 he became a the most known DJ to be the youngest DJ on the Las Vegas strip . It was from then on he realized his strong desire for being the life force of the party and delved into the world of the nightlife industry primarily deejaying and periodically independently hosting for nightclubs & events. It is here where he thrived and ultimately began to feel more comfortable and likely to succeed. After befriending many club owners and DJs (both nightlife and radio personalities alike) he realized what he always knew to be true, that he wanted to be solely responsible for the energy of the party. Being a host he had experienced this to an extent but it was quite obvious that the DJ Booth is where he needed to be and given his extensive relationship with music, this is the direction he decided to head. Shift taught himself primarily on his own all the ins and outs of his craft, by simple trial and error and training his ear from watching and listening to the never ending talent from DJ Jazzy Jeff & Grand Wizard Theodore. So with his newfound skills, passion for music, and expanding relationships in this ideal arena Hype became an aggressively progressive self-made man in order to establish his place in the stars. And although Hype has accomplished a lot he maintains the utmost level of humility and gratefulness for his accomplishments. His plans are to now hone his pre-existing skills to music itself by producing his own sound. So stay tuned for the next chapter in Hype's history, this is where it gets fun.
Even though being a DJ occupies much of his life there are many different aspects that Hype makes great strides to incorporate and maintain in his personal life. His mother helps to keep him humble and grounded, and the ability to travel has always been a very important. Shift has continued from a very young age to paint, dance & run his own magazine, which led to his art being sold world wide and displayed in galleries seen in New York, his dancing career leading him to work alongside with the Jabbawockeez and appear in many commercials under KIA and to selling over 900,000 physical magazines that won "Magazine of the Year" in Las Vegas. n addition, Hype is an hard working, laid back & funny man amongst friends. A little later in life he thoroughly looks forward to building a school of his own and that represents the 4 elements of Hip Hop.
Hype has released multiple mixes over the years that can be found on his Soundcloud at

Send Silence Packing sends loud message about suicide awareness
by Maya Hood April 23, 2019
To raise awareness on the impact of suicide and mental health, Active Minds, a nonprofit organization dedicated to shedding light on students who suffer in silence with suicidal thoughts and depression, visited campus with a clear visual of their message.

On April 15, Send Silence Packing peppered the University Park with 1,000 backpacks symbolizing students lost to suicide — of which 250 represented stories of hope, resilience, and stories and photos from families and friends.
Nancy Robles, director of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), said the backpacks create a striking image.
"It's a pretty powerful exhibit and part of the goal of it is to make sure that people are aware and that if they see anything or hear anything, they speak up and people know the resources that are available," Robles said.
A variety of mental health resources, including CAPS, the Disability Resource Center, the Bronco Wellness Student Center, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Tri-City Mental Health Center and others were at the event to educate students and inspire action to prevent suicide.
Hayley Harnicher, program manager of Active Minds, talked about the importance of connecting people to resources that can help with mental health.
"The goal is to remind them [students] that they're not alone, and remind them that two-thirds of people, if they are feeling suicidal or depressed, they're going to ask a friend first, so remind them they can learn about mental health resources that are available to them," Harnicher said.

Students gathered around the backpacks while reading narratives and looking at photos of students who suffered and recognizing the positive impact they had on their loved ones.
Around the exhibit there were signs with trigger warnings, letting people know that the content being displayed is about suicide.
Some students who noticed the signs decided not to go anywhere near the site. However, other students chose to engage with the display because of how important the topic of mental health is.
Andrea Ramirez, a third-year psychology major, said she appreciates that mental health is getting more attention because it isn't something that people talk about a lot.
"I just think it's good to always have a reminder of what it looks like, just to have an example of warning signs and just to see that normal people could have it," Ramirez said. "You don't have to look a certain way to have it or to have these kinds of thoughts; it kind of occurs in everyday situations."

It's A Bird! It's A Plane! No, It's Your First Look At Tyler Hoechlin As Superman
Supergirl meets Superman in super Season 2 photo
Crystal Bell crystalbell 07/28/2016
We may have to wait until October to watch Tyler Hoechlin formally make his debut as Superman in Supergirl Season 2, but we don't have to wait very long to see the former Teen Wolf star don the iconic House of El family crest. In fact, we get to see Hoechlin in Kal-El's red and blue supersuit right now.
Supergirl has released a first look at the Kryptonian cousins all suited up in preparation for its second season, and we have to say that Hoechlin's superhero quiff is really quite — for lack of a better word — super.
Hoechlin will make his debut in National City as Clark Kent in the first two episodes of Season 2. After months of texting, Clark finally comes to National City to pay his cousin Kara a proper visit. Of course, it probably won't be long until Clark sheds the glasses to fight alongside her.
Watch Hoechlin and the cast reveal Season 2 secrets — and recap the entire first season in song! — in the video below:

Let me tell you a story. It's a bit soft and squidgy and probably a bit too long, but bear with me.
I work at Highball on Saturdays as an instructor. It's mostly inductions, taster sessions, a few regular kids' awards schemes, plus frequent birthday parties. But of late something a little different has cropped up.
A 7-year old lad was brought along by his parents to try climbing. He's autistic, and climbing had been recommended as an activity for him to try; the logical nature of the goal (climb to the top) and lack of overwhelming interaction with other people make it a good fit.
At this point I need to clarify something. To use the cliché, Autism covers a broad spectrum, but Theo is what you might regard as classically autistic. I hope that's not an offensive statement. What I mean by that is that he barely speaks, doesn't always seem to fully understand instructions, shakes his hands and squeaks and squeals when he gets excited and, to begin with, hardly seemed to notice I was there.
Anyway, we tried him on roped climbing, and he did well. He has a lot of natural talent – the sort of self-awareness of body position and technique that instructors look for in young climbers. In other words, he climbs smart. But, as I mentioned, he doesn't always fully understand instructions, and I couldn't get him to let go of the wall and be lowered on the rope once he'd reached the top. Instead, he'd climb up to the highest hold…and then climb back down again. Now this wasn't a problem, but it got me thinking. Perhaps Theo would enjoy bouldering. There are no ropes or harnesses, and the aim is essentially the same: climb to the top. Except when you get there, because there are no ropes, you climb back down again.
I've been bouldering with Theo for a while now. He's strong, he's brave, he's actually a bloody good climber and, most importantly, he seems to love it. Whenever he reaches the top he comes down and gives me a high-ten. He still doesn't say much, but his parents tell me he's enjoying it – he gets very excited about "rock climbing"!
And then, a few week back, something amazing happened. Maybe not 'amazing' in the grand scheme of life, but enough to tug a heart-string or two in my cynical chest. After a particularly good few climbs, we were walking over to another part of the wall when he came up behind me and grabbed my arm to be led over to the next route. Physical contact can be tricky with autism, so this little gesture made me smile – here was a 7-year old kid excited about climbing his next challenge who thought nothing of taking the arm of someone he trusted.
Theo climbed a few more good routes and eventually we ran out of time. At this point I was used to him being led away by his parents who would thank me and tell me they'd see me next week. But this time was different. "What do you say to Ben?" his mum asked. He looked up at me. "Thank you" he said. His mum leant in towards me. "He's just started saying it" she whispered with a smile. I'm fairly sure she noticed me welling up.
Theo's mum once asked if I minded that they always ask for me when they book him in. I replied that I didn't mind in the slightest. But what I should have said is that these weekly climbing sessions are one of the highlights of my week and, far from minding it, I regard the entire experience as a privilege, and one from which I get as much pleasure and education as their son does.
Theo's parents clearly work extremely hard with him, and they tell me his school (Hall School not far from Highball) are also amazingly supportive. His confidence appears to be growing, and it's fantastic to think that Highball is playing a part in that. We're all still learning – learning what Theo is capable of, learning what Highball can do for Theo, and learning what role climbing can have for Theo and other children like him. I can't wait to learn more.

Chess Tournament 2021globusek142022-01-06T13:11:43+01:00
LSE SU Polish Business Society Chess Tournament 2021
On the 28th of February 2021, the history was made. The first ever chess tournament for Polish students organised by the LSE SU Polish Business Society was held! Weeks of preparation have resulted in a wonderful evening full of chess. The tournament took place on Lichess.org platform and was played in a 9-round Swiss system and the time control was 5+1.
More than 100 players from almost 40 universities from Poland and the UK participated in the tournament. The top three players represented respectively: Warsaw University of Technology, University of Cambridge and West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin. The most students (11) came from AGH University of Technology followed by Cambridge (10) and Warsaw University of Technology (10).
The event was supported by collaboration with a Polish chess grandmaster Zbigniew Pakleza and a chess-content creator, streamer, and Youtuber Maciej Domin (Marianczello Dominioni) who watched and commented on the games live. You can access the Youtube livestream under this link:
We would also like to express our gratitude towards our partners who have helped us promote the event. It is probably the first time that a cooperation for such a scale was done between UK and Polish universities and we are more than proud to be a part of it.

Very pathetic professionalism exhibited by Getlook. Had availed a waxing service from them that left a scar and had to undergo expensive dermatology treatment to correct. They only asked for the bills but just remained idle over it. No value for customer's complaint when their service or product created an issue.
