HOUSTON, Aug. 12 -- Freeport LNG Development LP has awarded a contract to Technip unit Technip USA Corp., Houston, for the front-end engineering design (FEED) for its planned LNG receiving terminal on Quintana Island near Freeport, Tex. The FEED is slated for completion by yearend, and engineering and procurement leading to construction is expected to begin in first quarter 2004, Technip said.
Freeport LNG filed application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission earlier this year and "(we) are receiving positive feedback on our application," said CEO Michael S. Smith. If approved, it would be one of the first LNG receiving terminals to be approved and built in the continental US in more than 20 years (OGJ Online, June 20, 2003). "The contract with Technip USA is a milestone in the further development of our terminal as we target its completion by 2007."
"We plan to have facilities in place which will allow suppliers the ability to bring up to 1.5 bcfd of gas into the country through this strategic Gulf Coast location," Smith added. "The natural gas will be transported through a 9.4-mile natural gas pipeline extending to Stratton Ridge, which is a major point of interconnection for a number of Texas intrastate pipeline systems. The proposed LNG marine terminal, storage, vaporization units, and natural gas pipeline will be located entirely in Brazoria County, Tex."
Freeport LNG is a Delaware limited partnership whose sole general partner and 60% limited partner are owned and controlled by Michael Smith. The partnership's other limited partners are Cheniere LNG Inc. 30%, and Contango Oil & Gas Co. 10%.

When considering a profession as a doctor, you’ll discover that the medical faculty admission requirements are extra then grades that you simply make in undergraduate lessons. Medical diploma packages in Argentina typically are six years long, with some universities opting for 7 yr packages. Prospective medical college students enter either one of many two schools of drugs out there (held by The University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong ) from high colleges.
Presently, not one of the medical faculties offer different levels; such as MBBS or PhD (2016). There are not any medical school entry examinations or interviews and admission is predicated on students’ performance in the high school exit examination ( Kenya Certificate of Secondary Training – KCSE).
Medical levels are awarded to medical college students after the completion of their diploma program, which typically lasts five or more years for the undergraduate model and 4 years for the graduate mannequin. The bulk are located throughout the metropolis of Willemstad All six medical faculties on the island of Curaçao, only provide education in Primary Medical Science (BMS) which matches towards the diploma of Medical Physician or Physician of Medication (2016).
Following the everlasting registration with the medical and dental council, doctors can concentrate on any of the assorted fields that’s organized by either the West African faculty of Physicians and Surgeons or the Ghana School of Doctor and Surgeons.
Every one of the 3000 medical college students who graduate every year in Argentina are required before commencement to dedicate a minimum of 8 months to group service without pay; though in some provinces (especially around the more developed south) there are authorities-funded hospitals who pay for this work.

I said in my intro blog that it would be difficult to come up with new posts for this one in addition to what I post on my other blog. Well, maybe I'll just use this one as my "let it all out" outlet.
The thing on my mind today is co-parenting. We are a blended family. I have two kids, my hubby has one, and we are having our first one together in September. I had my first two kids when I was really young, and they have different dads. I was married to one of the dads for 8 years before we separated and then divorced two years later.
Divorce is one of those things that should come with a warning label like cigarettes and alcohol. WARNING: Divorce will be hazardous to your future health. You will fight about the kids, how to parent them, and who is paying or not paying whom what amount of money. You will lose sleep as you ponder the pain your kids are going through because of the poor co-parenting relationship. You may go through murderous rages that while you may never actually act on, you sometimes wish you were that kind of person.
Sometimes my ex acts like a creepy creeperton. I'm sure if you asked his side of the story, he'd have worse things than that to say about me. We each have our own side of the story, that's just how it is.
The thing killing me right now is that I've tried to declare a truce, and he's still out for blood. My daughter is suffering because of it, and there is nothing I can do to change it.
All of you fellow co-parenters out there, I'm sure you feel my pain. Offer up a prayer or a positive thought for me......I'll do the same for you.

Good morning everyone and thanks for stopping by!
Time for another Lili of The Valley design team blog hop and today we’re giving you some inspiration for using the latest products which will be available to buy on the website from midday (UK time) on Monday 24th February
There are 6 gorgeous paper pads, 5 new art pads and also another set of the popular sentiments tags for all your family members.
You know how it works peeps - you just need to ‘hop’ from one blog to another following the links and leave a comment on each card. As well as being in with a shot of winning the fab prize or prizes on offer, you're bound to get oodles of inspiration while you are on your travels.
Now talking of prizes, as always there's some hidden along the way. We don’t know where they are so do be sure to visit and comment on every blog - you have to be in it to win it me darlins :)
We have a full set of the 6 new papers to give away, 2 lucky winners will each get 3 pads .and there will be a 3rd prize of a set of the new family tag sentiment stamps
We will let you know on Monday morning which were the ‘lucky’ blogs and the winners will be drawn at random from all the comments that were left on those blogs.
Here's a list of all the blogs taking part, and remember that you will need to visit them all and leave a comment on each one to have the best chance of winning;
So what did I do then?
Well I did .....
... a sweet birthday planner.
I based it on the recipe box that we did last year at one of the workshops and also from inspiration from our lovely Dena who did a birthday planner recently so I must give her some the credit here - it would be very wrong not to!!!!!
The papers I used here are from the Heartfelt paper pad.
I love that they are so contemporary but vintage at the same time - they are fabulous..
I've been using the good old paper punches loads recently to create my own flowers.
It's good because they will always match your work if you make them from the same papers.
Love this crackle paper - can you tell lol!!!
This is the back and that paper really does look like distressed wood.
I added some strips which I'd faux stitched to all the edges - it not only looks a bit neater but it gives it additional strength as well.
The inside was decorated as well and I kept the inserts simple.
I just printed these out on the compute using a rather snazzy font :)
Ok now back to the hop and your next stop is our Debbie and if you get lost along the way, you can start again at the beginning and pick the links up from there.
Finally, don’t forget to stop by the Ideas to Inspire blog on Monday morning when you can find out who the lucky winners were of the prizes before the new products go on sale
Enjoy the hop everyone, thanks for joining in and good luck!
Huggiest of hugs to all xxx

In my 7th-8th grade English class in our Providence Home Educators co-op, we've been doing a unit on Medieval Legends. I've been sending home handouts with the legends in them, as well as comprehension questions and related writing assignments. The two main source books I've been using are:
- Medieval Legends (Imitation in Writing series) by Matt Whitling, where I found the legends of Roland and of St. George and the Dragon. I did not use the writing component of this book, which I found at a used curriculum sale.
- Medieval History-Based Writing Lessons by Lori Verstegen, which is published by the Institute for Excellence in Writing (www.excellenceinwriting.com/). In the this book, I found the story of "Genghis Khan and His Hawk" as well as instruction on sentence starters and descriptive writing. (This is a $35 book, but I found it at a used curriculum sale for about $1.)
KING ALFRED AND THE CAKES by James Baldwin
KING ALFRED AND THE BEGGAR by James Baldwin
BRUCE AND THE SPIDER by James Baldwin
THE KING AND HIS HAWK by James Baldwin
LITERATURE STUDY OF ROBERT BRUCE AND THE SPIDERRobert Bruce was a king of Scotland who lived from 1274-1329. Here is the tartan pattern of the Bruce clan.
Click the link to read the story (preferably print it out) and the poem. I have provided study questions below. Choose several words to underline in the story to use as vocabulary words. You will find the first page of the story (with a link for the second page) at: http://www.longlongtimeago.com/llta_history_bruce_page02.html
- In which century did this story take place?
- What is the first setting of the story? Where does the story end?
- List the three words in the first paragraph that let you know it is cold.
- Note that the story was written in British style. The quotes are single (') instead of double (") and there is one word in the first paragraph that uses British spelling. What is it? How do we Americans spell this word?
- Write down the words that your parent has underlined in the story. Look up the definitions and write them in your own words.
- Underline all of the adjectives in the story. Notice that they are generally vivid and descriptive, adding interest to the story.
- List at least four words used to show the king's emotions.
- Why was Robert in agony?
- How long after seeing the spider did he still need to persevere in order to gain the final victory?
- What is the lesson of this story? Write at least three sentences.
Writing or Oral Narration Assignments:
- Write a one paragraph summary of the story using vivid verbs and quality adjectives. Use a variety of sentence structures.
- Tell of a time when you hesitated to do something. What helped you overcome this? What was the result?
- Read more about Robert Bruce at www.longlongtimeago.com/llta_history_bruce.html (or for more advanced readers or parents who want to paraphrase www.britannia.com/bios/robertbruce.html) or other sources. Write a paragraph about what you learn.
"Bruce and the Spider"
Bernard Barton (1784-1849)
The Bruce his part has played;--
In five successive fields of fight
Been conquered and dismayed:
Once more against the English host
His band he led, and once more lost
The meed for which he fought;
And now from battle, faint and worn,
The homeless fugitive, forlorn,
A hut's lone shelter sought.
And cheerless was that resting-placeFor him who claimed a throne;--
His canopy, devoid of grace,
The rude, rough beams alone;
The heather couch his only bed--
Yet well I ween had slumber fled
From couch of eider down!
Through darksome night till dawn of day,
Absorbed in wakeful thought he lay
Of Scotland and her crown.
Fell on that hapless bed,
And tinged with light each shapeless beam
Which roofed the lowly shed;
When, looking up with wistful eye,
The Bruce beheld a spider try
His filmy thread to fling
From beam to beam of that rude cot--
And well the insect's toilsome lot
Taught Scotland's future king.
Six times the gossamery threadThe wary spider threw;--
In vain the filmy line was sped,
For powerless or untrue
Each aim appeared, and back recoiled
The patient insect, six times foiled,
And yet unconquered still;
And soon the Bruce, with eager eye,
Saw him prepare once more to try
His courage, strength, and skill.
One effort more, his seventh and last!--The hero hailed the sign!--
And on the wished-for beam hung fast
That slender silken line!
Slight as it was, his spirit caught
The more than omen; for his thought
The lesson well could trace,
Which even "he who runs may read,"
That Perseverance gains its meed,
And Patience wins the race.
- Read the poem aloud. Can you determine the rhythm pattern? Which syllables are emphasized? How many syllables are in each line? Is there a pattern of the number of syllables in each line of all of the stanzas? Note: In some cases, two syllables may be compressed into one to keep the rhythm. An example of this is the word "seventh" in the first line of the last stanza.
- Notice which pairs of lines in each stanza rhyme. Assign each rhyme pair a letter. What is the rhyming pattern of the poem? Hint: each stanza has the same basic pattern, though with different rhymes. Note: sometimes the rhymes are not exact, like "host" and "lost" in the first stanza. These are more visual than audible rhymes.
- An archaic word is one that is obsolete, and is not used anymore. "Meed" is an archaic word that means "reward." Find the two places it occurs in the poem, and circle them. What other archaic words do you see in this poem?
- In what ways is the poem different than the story?
(Note to parents: The rhythm pattern of the poem is dee DUM dee DUM dee DUM, etc. with even numbered syllables emphasized. The pattern of the number of syllables in the lines of each stanze is roughly 8-6-8-6-8-8-6-8-6-6-8. The rhyming pattern of the poem is A-B-A-B-C-C-D-E-E-D. You will notice that the rhythm and rhyming patterns are similar. The first four lines alternate, the next two lines are the same as each other, and the last four lines have the first and fourth lines matching and the second and third lines matching.)

Condo buildings exist as housing for people. For those that wish to include pets in their home it can be necessary to establish ground rules.
Condo buildings may first open without pet restrictions because fewer restrictions facilitate the sale of units. Pet restrictions may then be imposed by directors in response to problems or concerns.
A pet policy helps ensure the cleanliness of common areas and comfort of non-pet owners who reside in the same building.
Some buildings are pet friendly. They may include pet amenities such as a play area, washing facility and even spa treatments. Other buildings may impose pet restrictions or fees to avoid conflict with non-pet owners.
Pets can damage common areas. They may scare, growl at or attack residents. Persistent barking or yowling is a disturbance. Some people are allergic to animals, fear them or have sanitation concerns. Pet policies are intended to address these issues.
Attempts to circumvent pet policies by claiming service animal status is not uncommon. Service animals are exempt from pet restrictions. Pet policies that require owners to properly document their need for a service animal can limit abuse of this exclusion. Requiring owners to pay for damage caused by their pets can ensure that bad-mannered service animals are not a burden to other condo residents.
Pets are family members and should be treated as such. Certain areas can be allocated for walking and playing with pets. Providing stations for waste disposal and collection bags is useful. Charging an annual fee per pet provides funds for maintaining these spaces. Requiring DNA registration for pets provides a mechanism for identifying pets and owners who fail to clean up after them. Having pet owners submit a picture of their pet helps management understand the pet population dynamics in a condo corporation and can facilitate compliance with rules. Some condo corporations may institute fines when there is a violation of pet rules.
Even pet-friendly condo corporations may institute pet size or weight limits. Others may restrict the number of pets allowed in a suite. There may be requirements that dogs be licensed, remain under control at any time when on condo property, and that they have received all of their shots.
Pet issues are some of the most sensitive matters in condo communities. Pet policies should be clear and well-communicated. Regardless of pet policies, condo corporations should focus on upholding governing documents even when pet policies conflict with personal views.

Click on image to see larger view of Bayon temple tower.
A refuge, an escape, a meaningful choice based on understanding, all of which I suppose are considerations in the back of my mind before I return to Angkor Wat for the second time. However, the predominant thought is to return to a place where the intention to pay respect to the cosmos was foremost in the Khmer King's minds when constructing their temples between the 8th and 12th centuries.
On January 29th of 2003 Angkor Wat, one of the greatest architectural achievements in human history, became the subject of political turmoil when crowds of angry Cambodians rioted in Phnom Penh destroying the Royal Thai Embassy, Thai Hotels, and Thai businesses. Rumor has it the Thai movie actress Suvanan Kongying made the comment that Cambodians stole Angkor Wat from Thailand. National pride was insulted, and again this poor country of peasants and political opportunists erupted once again. Many think it was all a ploy by the current Prime Minister, Hun Sen, to gain political advantage in the upcoming July elections. The truth may never be known, but it is a fact that Thailand sacked Angkor Wat in 1431AD.
All of these events take place several weeks before my planned second visit to Angkor Wat. Borders were closed to both Thais and Cambodians, but international tourism was still possible albeit once again a sense of danger filled the Cambodian air.
For the last seven months since July 28, 2002, when I first saw Angkor Wat, I have continued to be enchanted by the mysterious spell which came over me when I ascended the central tower at Angkor Wat. So moved by this first experience I went about learning as much as possible about the history of the people who created Angkor Wat as well as how Cambodia came into existence. Many texts were obtained and studied. Here is a list of books I read in this time period:
So now my planned visit to Angkor Wat, which at first was solely inspired by knowing it was a sacred temple built to honor the alignment with the starry heavens, becomes a temple situated in a country where countless wars were waged by the Khmer Kings to stabilize their kingdom. Angkor Wat serenely placed at the northern end of the Tonle Sap in Siem Reap has been for the latter part of the 20th century a place of genocide and severe suffering. It is no wonder now as the Cambodian people re-assert their identity in the modern world can become out raged at the slightest provocation against their historical heritage...rumor or no rumor. As of February 23rd over 26 political assassinations had taken place as new elections were scheduled for July, and the border was closed to people from both countries. On March 21st, when the Spring Equinox sun rises over the central tower at Angkor Wat the borders were opened once again, and a new mood of cooperation between Thailand and Cambodia is being developed. The equinox sun truly worked its magic as my story will reveal.
But, what is the historical heritage of Angkor Wat? What do we as 21st century visitors know of the Khmer Civilization that constructed the finest sacred architecture in the world? As I approached this question I found many different levels of answers. There were the archaeological answers based on inscriptions from temple stones and stele. There was a preserved first hand report from a Chinese emissary in the 13th century. There were extensive architectural measurements and cosmological interpretations based on ancient vedic scriptures. Most recently there are ancient civilization interpretations put forth by Graham Hancock relating Angkor Wat to Egyptian cosmologies. However, for me, the most intriguing aspects of the Khmer Civilization was their understanding of their place in the cosmos, and how the placement of the temples mirrored so many of the celestial movements and perhaps unknown secrets of the universe.
After having studied Hamlets Mill by Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha Von Dechand, and the Mayan temples by John Major Jenkins I began to see that there was a very ancient knowledge about the significance of the precession of the equinoxes factored into the temple structures. Jenkins's analysis of the Mayan Long Count and the Mayan sacred calendar, the Tzolkin, broke new ground for me in my understanding Mayan cosmology when he uncovered the meaning of the end date of December 21st, 2012. Jenkins was able to understand the concept of our solar system aligning itself with galactic center.
After over 50 years of solid research by many people around the world evidence mounted that the ancient civilizations were all knowledgeable about this galactic alignment date of December 21st, 2012. The research took me back to the first time, the Zep Tepi of the Egyptians of 10,500BCE, and all the way to 2012AD. This was a period of 12,500 years, or one half of a full precessional cycle of 26,000 years. Slowly I was beginning to grasp the significance of why these ancient temples were constructed the way they were. At Angkor Wat, the Churning of the Milky Ocean is the most obvious clue that in the middle of the Mekong Delta, Khmer Kings, with the help of their Brahmin priests, built a temple acknowledging this galactic alignment, and in my mind played out one of the most elaborate ceremonies to honor this cosmological drama of the precession of the equinoxes.
Why was it so important to go to all the trouble to build these temples in the Cambodian jungles? What could of possibly motivated thousands upon thousands of people to cut enormous stones, carry them for untold miles through the forests, and then erect them to create the most majestic temple in the world? At Angkor Wat's peak, Europe was plunged into a blood bath with the persecution of the Merovingians, Knight Templars, and a host of other secret societies. And even in the Central Highlands of Guatemala the Mayan civilization was exhausting their last ceremonial rites before that great civilization would vanish in the late 10th century. But in Cambodia, well into the 14th century, the golden central tower of Angkor Wat could be seen for miles around, and elephants in guilded dress were parading before the royal court of Kings accompanied by thousands of beautifully adorned female dancers. What was going on at Angkor Wat?
Now, having acquired more foreknowledge about Cambodia than I ever thought possible, concerning the Khmer Civilization, I am about to venture back once again to survey the temple, which has cast a spell over me. I have learned that the Khmers were very inventive in applying their own understanding of the meaning of architecture, ritual, and astronomy. The central tower of Angkor Wat is symbolic of Earth's northern polar axis, and the Churning of the Milky Ocean was a way to join with the kingdom of the Gods and Mt. Meru. The day was soon approaching when on March 21st the sun would rise directly over the central tower, the mid-point in the sun's journey between the winter solstice and summer solstice. Brahma and Vishnu were soon to be awakened, and my spell that took place in the central tower on July 28th, 2002, was about to be given a new sense of the divine wonder concerning the abode of the gods on Mt. Meru. I feel as though I am being introduced to the vedic mysteries, and a new level of my own spiritual path is being opened so that I can share these insights with others trying to see out from a desensitized materialistic world mind set. The gods do live, and maybe we can talk to them.
With only a few weeks remaining before the Spring equinox the study of Eleanor Mannikker's work on Angkor Wat was nearly finished. The book had arrived on January 10th at Borders in Union Square in San Francisco from the University of Hawaii Press. I was worried the book would not arrive before I left for Thailand on January 13th. I had neither knowledge of the breadth nor scope of this book concerning Angkor Wat before I ordered it. But, now after nearly completing my study of it I can now appreciate the devotion the architects and priests had towards the celestial movements, and how they integrated those movements into every last stone at Angkor Wat. Just prior to departing for SE Asia another book by Graham Hancock titled, "Heaven's Mirror" was also obtained and completed. I was armed with two of the most revealing explanations of Angkor Wat, and felt as if unknown forces to accomplish a special spiritual mission had guided me. It was by no accident either, that in late August of 2002, after returning from my first visit to Angkor Wat, that a meeting took place that enabled me to get a copy of "Heaven's Mirror" in the first place. I walked into Fields BookStore on Polk Street in San Francisco, established in 1934. Fields is one of the most renowned spiritual and esoteric bookstores in the United States. As I was standing in the aisle looking at the new arrival "Galactic Alignment" by John Jenkins from Inner Traditions someone in the bookstore called out my name. To my astonishment it was Ron Shuster, a fellow researcher from Charlotte, NC, who by chance was in San Francisco on business and was also at Fields looking for new titles. I told him about my recent experience at Angkor Wat the previous month and 5 minutes later he placed "Heaven's Mirror" in my hands and asked me if I had seen the book before. I was completely amazed because here was the book in which Graham Hancock outlines his thesis of how Angkor Wat was constructed to be in alignment with the constellation Draco. The book was out of print, and I had not seen it before.
It is no surprise to me now after seven months of study that Draco symbolizes the ancient myth of the Khmers with the marriage of a Brahmin named Kaundinya to Soma, a Khmer nagini snake princess. Eleanor Mannikker states:
In that legend defining the origins of Kingship Kaundinya arrived on the coast one long-ago day in pre-history and married Soma, daughter of the King of he Naga's. Kaundinya and Soma were the revered founders of the Somavamsa line of Kings (Soma = moon, Vamsa = lineage).
Now the cosmic play unfolds, and I know that the positioning of the stars hold the secret to Angkor Wat's place in the Cambodian jungle. Deciphering the stars to reveal those secrets will hopefully become more understood as I continue my journey. This journey, as it turns out, was initially inspired by learning how the sun in our solar system aligns itself with galactic center in 2012AD, and that the awareness of this knowledge was known by ancient civilizations. Certainly, knowledge of this alignment is apparent in the beginning of the 21st century, but there is little clamor or visible excitement over the fact that it is occurring what so ever. There are exceptions, of course, with a few researchers showing how galactic alignment was incorporated into sacred ritual with ancient civilizations, but on the whole it seems this knowledge has no appeal or interest for the vast majority of humans now living on this planet.
What historical circumstances took place, which removed homage to the celestial Gods from our world, as we know it today? How did a materialistic mindset based on international banking replace the attention to celestial activity as it relates to a purposeful cosmology for human evolution? These are questions that when answered could loosen the grip that the 21st century has inherited from centuries of persecutions, denials and wars that has left people defending their singular gods at all human cost, but gods none the less who occupy the same celestial abode.
Sensing that there has been an eradication of the orientation to spiritual consciousness I offer this journey to Angkor Wat as a way to rekindle the spiritual imagination, and the quest for understanding on how our consciousness is effected by the cycles of time. The cycle of time we are collectively now living through is the grandest cycle of all. It is the galactic alignment cycle when the path on the 26,000 year precessional cycle begins again augmenting another New World Age. It is also the end of a Kali Yuga cycle of 434,000 years, the end of the 13-Baktun cycle in the Mayan Long Count Calendar, and hopefully the end of an age where materialistic pursuits will be replaced with a divine awe for the majestic significance our galaxy has upon our lives.The great transformation humankind is undergoing is being augmented by extraordinary forces, which can be accelerated by aligning ourselves with the center of our own galaxy. The central tower of Angkor Wat symbolizes the most spectacular architectural achievement, which pays homage to the relationship of man and the universe. My pilgrimage to Angkor Wat came about as a result of inductive reasoning, and my intuitive sensibility of the importance of going to this ancient temple where the abode of the Gods, and the design of the universe were honored.Knowing how the world of advertising was suppressing my own quest for a natural and cosmic relationship to existence I sought out the indigenous cultures of SE Asia. From the Orange Asli in the jungles of E. Malaysia, to the Hill Tribes of N. Thailand and W. China, and to the people of Cambodia who are direct descendants of the ancient Khmer civilization I made purposeful expeditions. At Wat Suan Mokkh in Chiya, S. Thailand I studied the writings of Buddhadasa Bikkhu who many claim to have taught more closely what the Buddha taught than any other monk in Thailand. Buddhadasa Bikkhu was very interested in the historical roots with India, and my curiosity with the ancient vedic texts was always on the back of my mind. When I discovered that Angkor Wat had a celestial component in its design, and was influenced by Brahmins from India I knew it was a temple I had to visit.
At the same time as my Buddha studies were going on the concept of galactic alignment became a working mind set after studying "MayaCosmogenesis2012" by John Major Jenkins. A few years later after completing the book "Galactic Alignment", also by John Major Jenkins, my understanding of how the ancients understood this celestial precessional cycle caught my interest in a very big way. But probably, no other book started my change in consciousness than the book "Hamlets Mill" where the relationship of myth and astronomy were unveiled.
How we can awaken to a higher state of consciousness has to be the most exciting development in our personal growth on this planet. The pace is different for everyone, but the seeds are planted from the day of our birth as we were all born under the stars. So much has been written on higher consciousness, but it takes an inner knowing that there is a beckoning call inside our beings that is always calling out to be recognized. The path to higher consciousness is the path of life itself, and recognizing the signs along the way plays a big part in our personal development. For me it has been a mixture of many key events in life that constantly brought me to a newer level in my own quest for understanding of my place on this planet. Now the path is leading to Angkor Wat, and as I mentioned early on; Angkor Wat is a great star temple.
The Constellation of Draco and its alignment to Angkor Wat - A pictoral representation.
The great pyramid at Giza is a star temple, Chichén Itzá is a star temple, and the orientation of all those temples to the stars is the most fascinating clue to who we are as humans on this planet and where we are going.
However, breaking clear of the highly processed cultures is in my mind the first necessary step in exploring our relationship with the stars. North America has the legacy of completely waging a campaign to eliminate the Native American Indians. It had to be a genocide of the greatest removal of a people who lived by nature and the "Great Spirit". This natural lifestyle was replaced by the Christian church and commerce leaving only a few reservations for the remainder of the Native American Tribes. Modern cultures throughout the world are doing the same thing. Thailand is very similar through its forced relocation of the Hill Tribes, and Malaysia will not even recognize the Orang Asli as the original people of that peninsular. The story is the same the world over. The highly industrialized cultures replace the indigenous cultures. This indigenous eradication has to be the greatest oversight on human nature by the developed nations entering the 21st century.
Indigenous people live predominately by the forces of nature and survive by living off the land. In their own regional areas throughout the world there is a complete self-sufficiency that recognizes natures cycles. If the global population removes the indigenous life style from this earth there will be no more people to learn from on how nature was integrated into life and how the cosmos was integrated into ritual. Humanity will have severed its relationship to a higher ordering principle, which governs our attainment of higher states of consciousness. Angkor Wat has revealed itself to be the most magnificent expression by the Khmer Kings in combining the realm of the Gods with our world here on earth. The Churning of the Milky Ocean to extract the elixir of immortality is a very ancient theme based on an intimate knowledge of the stars. If we know how to align ourselves with the stars we can begin our ascent to the realm of the Gods and beyond.

At the suggestion of a few friends and colleagues, I am throwing my hat into the proverbial ring for moderator consideration during next Monday’s Journchat.
Sarah: If selected, I can only hope to be 1/100th the moderator you have been since you founded Journchat. You have set the bar remarkably high! Thanks again for this wonderful opportunity. Regardless of who moderates next week, your openness to sharing the stage and spotlighting others is one of the reasons I, and many others online, love collaborating and working with you.

Use the video and step-by-step drawing instructions below to learn how to draw Pikachu from Pokemon. A new cartoon drawing tutorial is uploaded every week, so stay tooned!
Intro: Start drawing Pikachu with a pencil sketch. In the beginning stages, don't press down too hard. Use light, smooth strokes for sketching.
Step 1: To draw Pikachu, start with a vertical rectangle with rounded corners. Draw this shape on the right side of the paper to make room for Pikachu's tail. This will be the basic shape for his head and body.
Step 2: Now draw a vertical line that divides the shape equally in half and a horizontal line that divides it equally on top and bottom. Draw another horizontal line in the middle of the top part. These are all construction lines that will help you place Pikachu's features later on.
Step 3: Next, draw the basic shape of Pikachu's head in between the horizontal construction line in the center and the top of the main shape. Round out his head on the top, taper it in near the top horizontal construction line, and then bring the line in closer at the horizontal construction line in the middle of the rectangle.
Step 4: Draw in Pikachu's body by starting in close on top, just outside of his neck, and then widening the bottom. Also, at the bottom, draw the shape up in a bit toward the vertical construction line.
Step 5: Pikachu's ears are basic leaf or feather shapes. Draw the left one going up vertically and draw the right one horizontally to give Pikachu character.

DAVIE — Known for years by schoolchildren in Davie as "Officer Wes," one of the town's most popular and beloved officers has died, leaving a legacy of professionalism and public service.
Officer Wes Griffin, 53, died on Monday after suffering a heart attack last week. Officer Griffin, a father of two and a Davie police officer for 27 years, was a member of the town's pioneer family for whom Griffin Road is named.
"Wes was liked by everybody. He was really a personable, caring person," Davie Police Chief John George said.
Officer Griffin joined the department in 1974 and served as a detective, traffic officer and school resource officer. Most recently, he was assigned to patrol and community policing, where he focused on truant students, George said.
Officer Griffin also was known for his volunteer work. He worked with the Police Athletic League and often dressed as the mascot, Officer McGruff, and as Santa Claus at Christmastime, George said.
In 1986, Officer Griffin was the first recipient of the Clifford Lockwood Memorial Award for Courteous Officer of the Month. Officer Griffin also won the Police Department's Officer of the Month award at least twice.
Officer Griffin earned the Lockwood award after he stopped to help a woman whose car had broken down. Instead of calling a tow truck, Officer Griffin crawled under the car and fixed the car's starter.
His personnel file is packed with letters of commendation from residents and town officials dating back 24 years.
"He was a role model for many. If you ever needed a volunteer, you could count on Wes to be there," George said.
Officer Griffin worked for at least five years at Davie Elementary School as the school resource officer, where he was popular with the students, school officials said.
In 1995, Officer Griffin was one of the first police officers featured on the department's football-trading cards designed to introduce children to their police force.
Officer Griffin, a member of Parkway Christian Church in Davie, is survived by his wife, Linda; son, Bryan, 19; daughter, Kelly, 18; father, Jack Griffin; and sister, Karen Scott, of Smallwood, N.Y.
Visitation is scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Fred Hunter's Funeral Home, 2401 S. University Drive in Davie. Services are scheduled for 3 p.m. Thursday at Davie United Methodist Church at 6500 SW 47th St.

My friend, Michele, needed to pick up something from a local Japanese market, so I decided I'd pick out something, too, and give it a try for my life list.
At Michele's recommendation, I bought this:
A bunch of stringy things encased in a plastic tube wouldn't normally catch my eye - or pique my appetite, for that matter. It looked like something from the movie Alien to me, but it's actually Chinese style seasoned bean thread with vegetables, according to the package.
When I went to serve it, I wasn't sure how to open the package, but I can now say for sure that stabbing it with a knife wasn't so great an idea. Bean threads and juice went flying. Still, there was plenty left to put in a bowl.
I also added cucumber and tomato, and it looked quite lovely:
I took a nice big bite...
The sauce was an Asian vinegarette, which I like, but the texture of the stringy things was an unpleasant surprise. Real unpleasant. Like spit-it-out unpleasant.
So I did what I always do when I have a bunch of food that I don't intend to eat: I tried to unload it on my son.
"Shelly just loves it! She eats it by the truckload!" I said, giving it my sales pitch as I passed it to him (and he's just not observant enough to notice there wasn't any on MY plate).
He tried it. He spit it out.
You can't win 'em all.

Using theories of change for systemic impact
In the field of change there are two approaches that are helping change makers, across charities, funders, business and policy makers help them become more effective and impactful — systems change and theories of change (ToC).
Systems change is both the outcome of the emergence of a new pattern of organising or system structure, and is often becoming the impact that we seek. It can also be the term used for the systemic processes we as change makers might use in seeking this impact.
“A theory of change shows a [project’s] path from needs to activities to outcomes to impact. It describes the change you want to make and the steps involved in making that change happen. Theories of change also depict the assumptions that lie behind your reasoning, and where possible, these assumptions are backed up by evidence.” (Angela Kail & Tris Lumley, New Philanthropy Capital)
If these two approaches both deal with impact and the processes for achieving it then there should be alignment. But how are these two mutually supportive of each other or at odds?
At Forum for the Future, we have been seeking to address this question in practice by creating theories of change as we catalyse systems change to tackle complex sustainability challenges for example in projects such as Tea 2030, Cotton 2040 or the Protein Challenge 2040, and whilst catalysing whole system transitions such as transforming our energy grid or tackling marine plastics. We have also supported organisations and initiatives apply a theory of change to their systems change endeavours — for example Marine CoLaboration with Caluste Gulbenkian Foundation, Unilever improving livelihoods and creating more opportunities for women and as we build the capacity of change agents at the School of Systems Change.
Through this experience we have had some insights into what we might need to watch out for when using theory of change as a tool for systems change and systemic impact.
Insight 1: Apply a systemic mind-set, thus challenging your assumptions about how change happens
“The world is a complex, interconnected finite, ecological-social-psychological-economic system. We treat it as if it were not, as it were divisible, separable simple and infinite. Our persistent, intractable, global problems arise directly from this mismatch” Meadows 2010
As the saying goes all models are wrong but some are useful. The root cause of many complex challenges is that we have applied a linear and mechanical way of looking at the world. This is at odds to the way that world works. It is therefore the mind-set or worldview we bring to any model, including a theory of change that determines if it aligns with taking a systemic approach. We need to challenge our assumptions about how change happens and in that challenge the linear route to causality that can often be found in the application of ToC.
The next two insights says what this might mean in practice.
Insight 2: Define impact and interventions through diagnosing the complexity of the challenge
A systemic diagnosis starts with the premise that we need to understand the nature of the challenge we are attempting to address, using a systems practice. A diagnosis helps define the scope or boundaries of the problem we are looking of the problem and understand the context in which we are attempting to operate, for example using futures inquiries and stakeholder mapping. It can also help us understand the multiple and root causes, interconnections. Both often reframing the impact we think we want to create. Finally it should also look at the dynamics of how people and society are changing over time, at multiple levels, testing what the response might be and informing and prioritising best places to act, possible leverage points and what types of approaches that might work in these contexts.
Key elements of a theory of change:
- The problem and its systemic nature (conditions outside of the project)
- The goals and impact we want to see in the world
- The activities/ interventions you undertake (and how they interrelate to create system change)
- The assumptions — the rationale for why you are creating change through these interventions
- The risks and consequences of these interventions
As such we use this diagnosis of systemic challenges as the basis for any theory of change — both informing the approach to change we take — where to intervene and leverage change in the system and the appropriate approach to take.
Insight 3: Constantly adapt your approach as you gain feedback from your interventions
“ToC’s are an on-going process of reflection to explore change and how it happens — and what that means for the part we play.” Comic Relief
A key systemic principle is that things are always constantly changing and in dynamic flux. You cannot truly know what might work in any context until you have prodded and poked the system to see how it might response. Therefore a theory of change needs to be a living conversation, that is testing our assumptions about how change happens and requires an adaptive learning approach as you gain feedback from the work that you are undertaking. Sometimes we fail to build the feedback loops into the different stages, not allocating time to revisit and improve. This is why action research — the process of planning, acting and reflecting — is an appropriate framing for undertaking systems change and is the basis for how we ourselves and in supporting others navigate the complexity of the challenges towards greater impact. This shift monitoring and evaluation towards a process of constant learning.
What we can learn from this is that if we want a systemic theory of change we need to:
- Understand the challenge and context you are operating in to systemically, so that you can present the whole picture of the projects work so that it creates a coherent narrative
- Ensure that the pattern of the different impacts and outcomes are nested together and seeks connections between the interventions so that additionality is achieved to scale up our collective impacts
- Names its assumptions and is open to change through learning

Kevin Whited wrote in a comment today under my "Bradford vs. Lykos -- pt. 1" that the race for District Attorney will end up with voters feeling: "Man, talk about holding your nose and picking between the lesser of two evils. Sheesh."
As a former/current Assistant District Attorney, it is so sad for me to read that quote, yet I have a hard time disagreeing with it. Whether you were a Siegler or Leitner fan during the Republican Primary, the fact of the matter is that the voters are left with two candidates who have never been prosecutors and have no trial experience.
Now, I've stated, and I stand by the position that I will never ever ever ever cast a vote in support of Pat Lykos. To me, she illustrates everything despicable about politics, and reaffirms for me that partisan politics have absolutely no place in elections regarding criminal justice. (SIDE NOTE: If our city's mayoral election doesn't have a Republican/Democrat marking on it, why does the Justice System? Partisan politics would seem to me to have much more relevance in a mayoral race than in the one for D.A.)
I'm very conflicted, personally. I'm fully aware of the knocks against C.O. Bradford and I don't want to minimize them on this blog. That being said, I don't think that Lykos has the leadership skills to guide a prosecutor to the restroom, let alone in issues that deal with criminal justice.
Although Bradford has my vote, I fully understand that this will cause a division amongst the folks that read the blog. My goal for the rest of this election season is to promote the idea that the truth and all of the truth needs to come out on both candidates. Because even if you do have to hold your nose to vote on the race, you still need to vote. It's just too damn important not to.
I don't think it is fair that Bradford be continuously bashed over the head with the crime lab scandal and the K-Mart raid, while the Chronicle turns a blind eye to Lykos. In my opinion, Lykos' sins equal, if not outweigh anything Bradford ever did, and unlike Bradford, she doesn't have the capability to blame the sins on anyone else.
The Chronicle failed its readership during the Republican primary. I hope they don't do the same thing during the general election.
Examine your candidates and vote carefully, folks.

When a company’s top executives are all fins of similar background and age can hamper their ability to make right decision in light of their changing organizational environment. When competing, a company tries to make a similar product in a given market segment, then competes against incumbent products on price or features to gain share and hopefully profits. In the midst of this consumer electronics upheaval, Bang & Olufsen remained adamantly, diligently, and somewhat endearingly committed to following its own path. I was told by a member of the team that they could not find traction with internal Kodak teams…I am reminded that corporate survival is “not” manditory. Blockbuster was an American-based home movie and video game rental business which operated through video rental stores and eventually moved into online DVD-by-mail and streaming services. But since 2000, as Apple, Google, and Facebook whizzed by, it has fallen flat in every arena it entered: e-books, music, search, social networking, etc., etc. The company made it through a securities fraud scandal in the late 1930s, and seemingly came back even more powerful in the 1980s with 161 branches in 42 states and six offices in Asia and Europe. Many times it is simply because companies have been doing the same things, in the same ways, and for the same reasons for so long, that they struggle with the concept of change. And while its competitors steadily gained market share through novel and innovative approaches, Blockbuster remained defiantly steadfast in its profound reliance on a brick-and-mortar business. In November 2000, the company completed a $10.8 billion cash and stock merger with UBS AG, and by 2003 the 123-year-old Paine Webber name had disappeared, replaced by UBS Wealth Management USA. A few conclusions: Companies that fail to embrace change and reorganise themselves accordingly will, regardless of any prior success, be swept away. IBM in the mid 1980’s felt that the future would be much like the past and a result didn’t have to change much. Thanks! Microsoft have now announced the Surface tablet. Examples of Change Management Failure. A family-run business that made Michigan proud for 40 years and once one of the country’s biggest booksellers, Borders was founded in Ann Arbor in 1971 by brothers Tom and Louise Borders. With a string of high-profile bankruptcies and thousands of layoffs, the German retail sector is in upheaval as it struggles with the challenges of changing customer trends and online shopping. Steve Jobs did bring Apple back from the edge of bankruptcy and today it is one of the most valuable companies in the world, but the speed of innovation is ever-faster. While the Danish company pursued its own cult of design, others like Apple formulated a new aesthetic that took into account the graphical user interface and Moore’s law. But in making the Surface, Microsoft played it safe and chose to compete, not disrupt. Why do so many established and often well managed companies struggle with disruptive innovation? In 1975 a Kodak engineer, Steve … Unfortunately, as the world of photography moved toward online photo sharing, Kodak continued to focus on photo printing. Now, the iconic mail-order chain Neckermann, with more than 2,500 employees, filed for insolvency. The final straw was the deepening recession which caused many airlines to suffer. It’s almost certainly cheaper to let the market’s weeding-out process reveal the successful innovations, rather than to risk money on your own speculative R&D. Following this accolade, engineer Steven Sasson co-created the first modern DSLR camera in 1989. When it no longer makes sense to run a chain of physical book stores, Barnes & Noble will likely be left with its Nook business and online book sales. But the trick is to avoid absorbing and stifling what you’ve bought. Your company culture? Unable to turn the business around after such a fall, Woolworth’s announced in July 1997 it would close more than 400 five-and-dime stores in the US, with 9,200 jobs lost and a $223 million charge for discontinued operations. Many times it is simply because companies have been doing the same things, in the same ways, and for the same reasons for so long, that they struggle with the concept of change. Founded in 1880 by William Alfred Paine and Wallace G. Webber, this brokerage firm had a colorful history. Will RIM (Blackbarry) catch up? By 1991 the airline was grounded for good. Between 2008 and 2009, annual revenue plunged from $853 million to $528 million, and its stock price plummeted from $52 to $8.50. These processes typically create simplicity and order and can also become self-reinforcing and entrenched. That alone will be a difficult issue for Nokia to overcome. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Launching a business is hard to do, and ensuring its longevity is even harder.

ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED FORM
OF NOTICE OF COLLECTIVE ACTION
This matter is before the Court on the Joint Motion to Approve Stipulated Form of Notice
of Collective Action Lawsuit filed jointly by Plaintiffs, Natasha Trisler and Heather Savage, and
Defendant, LifeShare Blood Centers. The parties request that the Court approve their stipulation
to conditionally certify this case as a collective action under the FLSA and authorize that notices
agreed to by the parties be sent to all current and former employees of Life Share Blood Centers
(excluding the Lake Charles center employees) who performed donor technician services at
mobile blood drives during the past three years. An FLSA action may be brought by an
employee “in behalf of himself…and all other employees similarly situated,” but “[n]o employee
shall be a party plaintiff to any such action unless he gives his consent in writing to become such
a party and such consent is filed with the court in which such action is brought. 29 U.S.C.
§ 216(b). At the initial notice stage, the “courts appear to require nothing more than substantial
allegations that the putative class members were together the victims of a single decision, policy
or plan….” Mooney v. Aramco Servs. Co., 54 F.3d 1207, 1213 fn. 8 (5th Cir. 1995), overruled on
other grounds by Desert Palace, Inc. v. Costa, 539 U.S. 90, 123 S. Ct. 2148 (2003); Lusardi v.
Xerox Corp., 118 F.R.D. 351 (D. N.J. 1987). Based on a review of Plaintiffs’ Petition, the
stipulation of the parties, and the proposed notice, the Court is satisfied that Plaintiffs have met
the necessary threshold and will conditionally certify the case as a collective action under the
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Motion to Approve Stipulated
Form of Notice of Collective Action is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant will make the agreed upon disclosures to
Plaintiffs within seven days (7) days after entry of this Order and that, no later than ten (10) days
after receiving the list, counsel for Plaintiffs will mail the agreed upon notice via first class mail
to all current and former employees of Life Share Blood Centers (excluding the Lake Charles
center employees) who performed donor technician services at mobile blood drives during the
three year period prior to the date of this Order. Plaintiffs’ counsel shall also include a selfaddressed, stamped envelope in the mailing. Plaintiffs’ counsel may, at their own expense, hire a
class action administration company to oversee the mailing the notice and forms.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ counsel shall file an advisory of any sending
of such notices with the Court within three (3) business days of doing so. In such advisories,
Plaintiffs’ counsel shall specify the date and manner of service by which notices were sent.
Dated this ___ day of _____________, 2017.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is of great interest to researchers and practitioners as a means of achieving the necessary progress in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the role of AI and ways of transforming companies are not well studied. The purpose of the paper is to identify exactly how AI affects the key and support business processes of pharmaceutical companies. We offer a qualitative interview study of five large, five medium, and five small pharmaceutical companies. Based on scarce literature on the role of AI in the pharmaceutical industry, we considered which business processes are subject to transform within it and how they do so. We determine that small pharma companies significantly change research and development, master data management, analysis and reporting, and human resource business processes under the influence of AI. Large pharma companies use AI to transform production, sales, marketing, and analysis business processes. In turn, medium-sized companies are in the middle and individually transform their business processes depending on their specialization.

Detroit’s Rocket Mortgage has partnered with Marvel Studios to co-brand a TV commercial campaign. It will be shown before the release of Avengers: Infinity War, which is set to open in theaters on April 27.
The commercial is in addition to Rocket Mortgage’s product placement in the opening scenes of the film.
“By teaming up with Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War, we are not only able to produce fun, energetic, and creative content, but the campaign also provides Rocket Mortgage a strong opportunity to connect with current and future homebuyers,” says Casey Hurbis, chief marketing officer for Quicken Loans Inc.
The commercial is part of a campaign that includes other co-branded content through digital videos, online ads, social media, and more.
“This campaign is about embracing confidence and feeling empowered, just like our heroes do,” says Mindy Hamilton, Marvel’s senior vice president of global partnerships and marketing. “It’s easy to be envious of the super powers that we see in the film, but Rocket Mortgage is reminding us in a fun way that we have tools at our disposal to conquer whatever obstacles lie ahead.”
Rocket Mortgage, part of the Quicken Loans Family of Companies, was launched in February 2016 via a Super Bowl advertising campaign.

If you’re looking for a daily trainer with a smooth ride that can be used for easy runs and long runs, the Novablast 3 is a great option. It has no major weaknesses and it has a very comfortable ride.
The Novablast 3 is a pretty versatile shoe that can be worn by many different runners. What it does not excel at is increasing speed – so fast runners or runners looking for a race shoe might be better looking somewhere else.
For me, the Novablast series has been one of the most exciting non-plated series over the past 2 years. What made it so exciting was its super fun, bouncy ride. ASICS managed to achieve this with the Novablast’s unique midsole geometry.
The Novablast 1 and 2 had a deep decoupled groove underneath them which started at the rearfoot and extended all the way into the forefoot. The sides of the midsole also had a scoop shape with deep triangular indentations which allowed a high level of compression when the shoe was loaded.
This created the “trampoline effect” which felt as if the shoes were propelling you upwards and forwards. The “trampoline effect” gave it the ability to pick up the pace for faster runs while its thick, cushioned midsole made it also great for easy and long runs. Versatility was a big strength of the Novablast.
The Novablast was one of my highest-rated trainers last year and a staple in my rotation.
Every year, the Novablast gets a full house of changes. This year’s version has a brand new upper, midsole and outsole. Version 2 weighed 9.7 oz (275 g) and version 3 now weighs 8.9 oz (252 g) which is a significant weight loss. The midsole of version 3 has 1 more millimetre of foam in the heel and in the forefoot, making it even more cushioned. The price has gone up by $10.
The first time I walked around in it, it felt surprisingly firmer than the first two versions. I was expecting the FF Blast+ midsole to be extremely squishy like the midsole of the Nimbus 24 but this foam felt denser.
My first run was a 30 kilometre long weekend run. The Novablast 3 felt fantastic right out of the box and it didn’t need to be broken in. The ride felt firmer than previous versions but it wasn’t uncomfortably firm.
The midsole felt very well-cushioned and I felt like I could have run further if it wasn’t for the late morning heat. You could easily run a full marathon in the Novablast 3. The upper felt extremely comfortable although I experienced downward tongue slide.
I noticed that the ride felt muted and not as springy as previous versions.
The FF Blast+ foam was disappointing and didn’t deliver much energy return. There were periods during the long run where I could pick up the pace but overall, it felt slower and more relaxed than previous Novablasts.
The Novablast 3’s upper is stripped down compared to previous versions. The tongue is now flat with no padding and the jacquard mesh is thinner so it’s overall a more breathable shoe.
ASICS still hasn’t fixed the length problem. It runs too long so if you go true to size, it feels like you’re wearing clown shoes. I found that if I wear really thick socks, the fit is fine but then my feet get really warm. If you have low volume feet, you can definitely go down a half size.
The flat, asymmetrical tongue is gusseted but it slides down so I prefer the thicker tongue of v1 and v2. It has wide wings so it doesn’t slide sideways at least but for easy day shoes I prefer the comfort that comes with a thicker tongue.
There’s no heel slippage and you don’t need to use a runner’s knot but I did do so because I found that the laces are too long. The collar padding is plush so there’s plenty of comfort in the rear.
We’ve already seen 2 trainers this year that were modified to be more mainstream- to appeal to a wider group of runners. The NB Rebel v3 and the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 have both become stabler, and more cushioned but have lost some of the fun factor which made them so popular to begin with.
We also see this trend with this year’s Novablast 3. ASICS has done a few things to the midsole geometry to achieve this: the first is that the base is now wider because the midsole flares out. This makes the ride much stabler; stability was previously a big weakness of the Novablast.
The midsole sidewall design has also changed which results in less midsole compression and less lean bias. There are no longer deep cutouts in the sidewalls which encourage compression. This change results in less “trampoline effect”. Running in the Novablast 3 feels noticeably flatter and I miss having that fun bounce which was present in the first 2 Novablasts.
The decoupled groove is shallower compared to the previous versions. This makes the shoe ride firmer because there’s less space for the shoe to compress at the bottom. It also makes ride transitions smoother because the outsole is a flatter configuration.
The FF Blast+ foam in the Novablast 3 feels like a completely different foam to the FF Blast+ in the Nimbus 24: it’s noticeably less squishy and doesn’t compress as easily. This FF Blast+ reminds me of Flytefoam, ASICS’ ancient midsole foam. I would definitely enjoy the Novablast 3 more if it was the same softness as the Nimbus 24.
I’m marathon training at the moment and I did mostly easy runs in it. It’s great for soaking up miles when speed isn’t important, however the one long run I did in it I was able to do the same pace as I did in the Endorphin Speed 3 and that shoe has a plate in it.
The Novablast 3 has a gentle rocker and really deep cushioning which is ideal for long runs. The FF Blast+ midsole does a really good job at absorbing impact and keeping your legs fresh.
When it comes to speed, I can do very short bursts below 4 minutes per kilometre in it but it’s definitely not a shoe that I would do long intervals or long tempo runs in- its forefoot is too flexible so it feels a tad sluggish.
The Novablast 3’s outsole is very similar to version 2 but the rubber is a flatter profile so it makes transitions smoother. Grip is a bit dodgy on wet surfaces though because of the flat rubber. The outsole rubber on the rearfoot doesn’t extend over the edges like it did on the Novablast 2 so the edges get slightly scuffed.
There’s thick rubber coverage on all the high wear areas so the Novablast 3 has decent outsole durability. On my pair, there is average wear after 80 km’s so durability is acceptable for a daily trainer.
The Novablast used to have the “wow” factor but this year’s Novablast 3 didn’t sweep me off my feet. It feels like a very ordinary trainer. I miss the bouncy trampoline feeling that I got in the first version and to a certain extent in the second version.
The Novablast series was all about being fun but the Novablast 3 is more business-like: more structure and tamer. If I can find a Novablast 1 in the shops, I’ll snap it up because it has such a unique ride. The Novablast 3 now feels very similar to other daily trainers.
Stability is one area where the Novablast 3 has improved so if you found previous versions too unstable, you’ll get along much better with this version. The weight has decreased substantially thanks to the new midsole foam and ride transitions are now smoother due to the shallower decoupled groove underneath the shoe.
For me, the Novablast 3 is less versatile than versions 1 and 2 because I find it less lively, not as energetic. I’ll still use it in my rotation for only easy/recovery days but there are other daily trainers which can pick up the pace more easily such as the On Cloudmonster and the Hoka Mach 5.
The Novablast 3 is a very good long run shoe and just eats up miles. I enjoy it much more than other “traditional” daily trainers like the Pegasus 39, Ghost 14 and Wave Rider 25 because of its higher level of cushioning and its lighter weight.

The Green Firm recently filed a statement of claim against LPL Financial, LLC whose employee financial advise abused what are called non-traditional ETFs was breathtaking. We allege that the broker in question lost our client, a very frugal and risk-averse small businessman, approximately 70% of his total account value as a result of investment misconduct by his broker in combination with a lack of supervisory oversight on the part of LPL Financial, LLC.
Non-traditional ETFs are highly complex financial products which are typically unsuitable for retail investors and designed to be deployed in volatile markets for one trading day at a time. In this case, the broker held the non-traditional ETFs in the claimant's account for a period of several months.
Shocking as this abuse may sound, unfortunately it's all too common. Broker misconduct and the misapplication of sophisticated financial products are at the center of so many of the cases we see at The Green Firm. If you have been the victim of similar conduct by LPL Financial, LLC or any other broker or brokerage firm, please contact us immediately for a free consultation to review your legal rights.

Modern smartphones are powerful devices, enabling users the ability to store their important data, make purchases online and even perform banking transactions.
However, with the increase in services our smartphones offer, there has also increased the chances for the hackers to hack your smartphone and steal your confidential information.
Hence, we all need to take sensible steps to ensure our smartphones are safe from malware attacks and cyber criminal.
- Don’t Open Emails Form Unknown Sources – Hackers usually spread their malware by sending e-mails with attachments containing malicious codes. While such e-mails can sound innocent, the attachments along could potentially infect your smartphone destroying the entire data.
- Install Anti-Virus Protection in your Phones – When in doubt for malware in your smartphone, run an anti-virus app that will check for variants of malware. However, experts believe that if users practice safe surfing habits like not clicking on suspicious links and avoid downloading unauthorized apps, anti-virus software isn’t a necessity for them.
- Avoid clicking Pop-Up Ads – This is yet another way hackers spread their malicious content. When a user clicks on a pop-up ad, they may be redirected to a website that downloads malware onto the phone.
- Do not Install Apps from Unknown Sources other than the App Store– For those users who often download apps from unknown sources, their phones are likely to be attacked by viruses and malware. Therefore, if you want to stay safe and refuse access to third-party apps, simply refuse permissions to install them.For this, follow these steps:
GO to Settings ->Security -> Unchecked “Unknown Sources: Allow installation of apps from sources other than the Play Store”.
- Opt for One-Time Passwords to be Generated by a security token than receiving them by via SMS – Security tokens are harmless as they are isolated devices that are not under the scope of malware. They may be troublesome, but if hackers do not have access to the OTPs, their transactions cannot go through.
Be alert when it comes to using smartphones. A little carelessness can cost you lot of trouble.

Today’s piece came out of this article by Mark Littlewood calls for a public domain register of benefit claimants.
They cannot be serious: but published, a right-wing agenda by a man with Westminster pull – likely means some other mad kunter will try.
Thanks to @wheresbenefit and their peer group for bringing this to my attention, esp. @trialia and @latentexistence
More details on the ATOS incident alluded to in panel 4 here.
PS Why not sign the petition calling for the sacking of Littlejohn after goading suicide Lucy Meadows? Go on.

Can one be a Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim believer of Jesus? And can they do this without persecution?
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,” 2 Corinthians 6:17
A growing number of Christians and church leaders are stopping to consider that this idea may actually be possible, thanks to “Insider Movement” groups that have been pushing this idea forward for the past decade, especially in the Muslim mission field. Now those ideas are gaining ground in the West, as Christians embrace these controversial methods.
RELATED STORY: Rick Warren and the Growth Of Chrislam
The most recent issue of Christianity Today is giving a whole lot of print space to Insider Movement (IM) proponents, who believe that it is not necessary for believers to convert to Christianity, a term often associated with baggage and most certainly persecution if outed as “Christian.”
This should immediately send you running for your Bible and asking some key questions about what Scripture has to say about the blending of two very different and opposing faiths vs a full conversion to Christianity.
The January issue of CT contains the headlines, Why Evangelicals Should Be Thankful for Muslim Insiders, arguing that “Insider followers of Jesus may not have changed religions, but their lives have been changed by Christ,” and the provocative headline Worshiping Jesus in the Mosque in which a reporter interviews a “Muslim follower of Isa.”
But instead of comparing what IM-ers teach to what the Bible says and asking questions, Christians are saying, “cool!”
“Where is the outcry of pastors in America because of this? Nobody is challenging these methods, and it boggles my mind that churches subscribe to this,” says Elijah Abraham, a born-again Christian who was raised a Muslim believer in Iraq, and today is the founder and executive director of Living Oasis Ministries, reaching Muslims with the Gospel.
Abraham is part of Biblical Missiology, the think-tank group that recently petitioned Wycliffe and its partners for removing familial terms like Son and Father to describe God and Jesus from Arabic Bible translations used to reach Muslim communities.
Abraham points out that John Travis (the writer of Why Evangelicals Should Be Thankful for Muslim Insiders), is one of godfathers of the Insider Movement. Abraham encourages readers to examine the IM leaders through the lens of a video highly recommends titled, Half Devil Half Child, in which even the Muslim Imams say these teachings are not Christianity:
We know that Christians in Islamic nations are being brutally slaughtered simply because their identity is in Christ. Persecution is on the rise, and that’s risky for Muslims who embrace Christ yet want to stay within their Islamic community. Yet the core doctrines of belief, repentance, and preaching Jesus Christ and HIM crucified (not the Muslim “Isa”) for the forgiveness of sins is not the focus of IM methodology.
CT conducted an interview with one insider named “Abu Jaz,” a key leader in a movement that describes itself as the People of the Gospel. CT reports that this group represents several thousand Muslims in eastern Africa who have converted to faith in Christ during the past decade, but who have remained in their Muslim communities.
Abu Jaz describes his conversion after dining with a guest in his home, and their sparse meal of macaroni began to multiply in the bowl.
Afterward I lay down on the bed, and as I slept, Isa came to me and asked me, “Do you know who multiplied the macaroni?” I said, “I don’t know.” He said, “I am Isa al Masih. If you follow me, not only the macaroni but your life will be multiplied.”
He didn’t tell me that he was God; he didn’t tell me that he died on behalf of me; he didn’t say, “I am the Son of God.” He didn’t talk to me about any complicated theological issues. He only told me that if I followed him, he would multiply my life. Isa al Masih came to my home with the kingdom of God. He didn’t completely explain theological issues, he only said, “If you will follow.”
Abraham, who has interviewed hundreds of converts in many nations, doesn’t doubt Abu’s story of dreams and visions. In fact, he says true converts do have dreams and visions, and they’ve paid a heavy price. But the Jesus they encounter is never confusing or vague about who He is. And the fact that Abu maintains a Muslim rather than an African identity troubles him. “You would think after Bible school, Abu would reject Islam,” Abraham says. “Abu never contradicts the Qur’anic version of Isa, and the interviewer didn’t even challenge the convert to ask if the Allah he was talking about was the triune God of the Bible or Allah of the Qur’an.”
He points out that the title, Worshiping Jesus in the Mosque is very misleading, since the reporter does not mention anyone actually worshiping Christ in a mosque. “The Christianity Today title is only intended to persuade the readership that it is possible to worship Jesus in the mosque. Three problems: Any mosque will be offended if Jesus is worshiped inside its walls. Second, any Christian from a Muslim Background will tell you that the mosque is not the place to go to worship Jesus. Finally, if you go to a mosque, you have already denied Him.”
But, a church isn’t a building, it is people. Abraham contends that the so-called Muslim-culture church is an oxymoron.
“Muslim-culture church? What in the world does that mean? If their identity is Islam,and not Christianity, are they really set apart?
Abraham says insiders who say they are converts are the most confused individuals he has ever found. “They are confused in their theology and identity, and they’re still loyal to Mohammad, so you’ve got problems there.”
As for Christian churches embracing these methods, he says there are many missionaries and leaders who will try to cover up their IM connections from their congregants so as to diffuse critics. He says church members who do question the Insider Movement methods in their churches are often met with a guilt trip for criticizing them for not actually traveling overseas and meeting Muslims.
“To that I would say, ‘you know, you are right. But I read your article and compared your methods to Scripture, and it does line up.” source – Stand Up For The Truth

Todd Stashwick is on his way back to The CW.
The actor, remembered by many fans of the network as a Dracula-like shapeshifter on Supernatural, will recur on The Originals this fall as a priest named Father Kiernan.
According to EW, he will debut in the role on Episode 4 of Season 1.
“Kieran is a tortured Priest with a dark past,” previews executive producer Julie Plec. ”Once a powerful and pragmatic diplomat between the humans and the various supernatural factions in New Orleans, he returns home looking for answers about a personal tragedy but finds a very different landscape than when he left.”
The actor has also appeared on The Exes, Grey's Anatomy and Hawaii Five-0.
Elsewhere, Sebastian Roche - who Vampire Diaries viewers met as patriarch Mikael - will appear in an early episode of The Originals.
The highly anticipated new drama premieres on October 3.

October Songby Robin Williamson (1966)
I'll sing you this October song,
Oh, there is no song before it.
The words and tune are none of my own,
for my joys and sorrows bore it.
Beside the sea
The brambly briars in the still of evening,
Birds fly out behind the sun,
and with them I'll leavng.
The fallen leaves that jewel the ground,
They know the art of dying,
And leave with joy their glad gold hearts,
In the scarlet shadows lying.
When hunger calls my footsteps home,
The morning follows after,
I swim the seas within my mind,
And the pine-trees laugh green laughter.
I used to search for happiness,
And I used to follow pleasure,
But I found a door behind my mind,
And that's the greatest treasure.
For rulers like to lay down laws,
And rebels like to break them,
And the poor priests like to walk in chains,
And God likes to forsake them.
I met a man whose name was Time,
And he said, "I must be goin,"
But just how long that was,
I have no way of knowing.
Sometimes I want to murder time,
Sometimes when my heart's aching,
But mostly I just stroll along,
The path that he is taking.
Robin in 2009

KE and momentum are more important than speed. Almost always a heavier arrow shot out of the same bow will have more momentum and KE. Weight is more important. Think of it like this. What would you rather get hit with at 3 feet away, a ping pong ball or golf ball? The are the same size and about just as hard. Now throw both balls as hard as you can. The ping pong ball will leave your hand faster then the golf ball. But at 30 feet which will be going faster? The heavier ball will hold its speed longer (momentum). At 3 feet they both may sting the about the same but at 30 feet give me the ping pong ball.
It's the same with an arrow. A 350 grain arrow will loose it speed faster than a 500 grain arrow. At 20 yards the KE will be slightly more with the 500 grain but at at 40 yards the 500 will me much more. At 40 yards the 350 grain arrow will be much slower in comparision. It will lose a greater percentage of speed.
Guys have looked at this alot. You should be able to find lots of info on it. Search the mathews forum. It is a great resouce and no bashing like AT. Shoot through a cronograph at 2 and 50 yards with both a light and heavy arrows. The light will lose much more speed.
Here is a link to a KE calulator. Play with some numbers. 580 grains -250 fps and 350 grains -300 fps
http://forums.mathewsinc.com/archery-4/ ... calculator
I shoot a 70# bow with a 584 grain arrow at about 250 fps. Thats on the heavy side (8.4 grains per pound) Most bow makers require 5 grains per pound. I think around 7 grains per pound is good.
Heavier arrows make your bow quieter, absorb more energy from the bow and hit harder. But yardage estimation is more critical. With todays rangefinders not a problem as I see it.
Light arrows are nice because they drop less. If you think its 25 yards and is 29 not that big of deal with a light faster arrow. With a heavy arrow it could mean 6 " low.
I hope this helps.

Monday mornings at school now consist of teachers trying desperately to get pupils to pay attention. This isn’t because they are becoming more unruly; it is because they have spent all weekend playing computer games, going on social networking sites or texting their friends.
Weekends used to be a time for rest and rejuvenation – allowing children to feel ready to learn at school on Monday. Now weekends are one big distraction and ‘un-plugging’ students on a Monday morning is becoming increasingly difficult.
The internet can be an incredibly useful tool for learning, but the effect it is having in the classroom is shocking, according to Headteacher David Boddy. Capturing the attention of students has become near on impossible and teachers are relying more and more on visual aids such as interactive whiteboards.
Pupils’ understanding of the lesson is becoming superficial and they are struggling to take things in. Boddy is also worried about the effect the internet is having on young people’s ability to form relationships.
“If you think your friends are online, you’re missing the human dynamic of a real relationship. You can’t see facial expressions; can’t hear the tone of voice – all you’re dealing with is digital messages, which are usually meaningless and never meaningful. I fear that our young people are losing their ability to form relationships and strike up conversations.”
He also believes that the breakdown of the family is partially to blame. As the idea of a family dinner together disappears, young people are turning to the internet and getting lost in computer games to deal with their problems.
Having a digital addiction can affect people of all ages, if you think you could benefit from ‘un-plugging’, speaking to a hypnotherapist could help. For more information and to find a hypnotherapist in your area, please see our Internet Addiction page.

ADHD Diagnosis up 29% in Children, Teens
A growing number of children and teenagers are being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a new report released today by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Researchers from the CDC have found that an average of 9 percent of children between the ages of 5 and 17 were diagnosed with ADHD between 2007 and 2009. This is a 29 percent increase over the rate of 7 percent the researchers found for ADHD diagnoses in a similar three year period from 1998 to 2000 in teens and children.
The new data are from a national survey conducted from 2007 to 2009 that included approximately 40,000 households. Researchers collected information on 8,000 to 12,000 children each of the three years in a nationally representative sample.
Dr. Lara Akinbami, the lead author of the new report and a medical officer at the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, cautioned against reading too much into the new numbers, however: “I would say that most probably what we found has a lot to do with better access to health care among a broader group of children, and doctors who have become more and more familiar with this condition and now have better tools to screen for it. So, this is probably about better screening, rather than a real increase, and that means we may continue to see this pattern unfold.”
Boys suffered a greater increase rate in ADHD overall, rising from about 10 percent in the 1998-2000 period, to 12.3 percent in the most recent study. The prevalence rate among girls rose from 3.6 percent to 5.5 percent.
ADHD rates also have narrowed among different racial groups, with the gap closing between their differences. Whites, blacks and some Hispanic groups now share closer prevalence rates than they have in the past. One group’s prevalence rates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have actually decreased: Puerto Rican children. And Mexican children continue to enjoy the lowest rates of ADHD among all children and teens — more than half the rates of white children.
Poorer households also fared worse in the most recent study, with consistently higher rates of ADHD. Households where family income was below the poverty line or where it was double the poverty line had higher rates of ADHD — 10 to 11 percent (compared to the national average of 9 percent).
ADHD in western states continues to remain lower than the national average, with no clear explanation. Diagnosis of ADHD in states like Colorado and Oregon has ranged from 5.4 percent to 5.8 percent over the last decade.
The new report was published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics today.

A new magazine celebrating Preston’s history has been launched across the city.Advertisement
The brainchild of Penwortham resident Heather Crook the 24-page mag has been distributed in various outlets.
Crook explains she started the magazine with her sister, Lorraine, last September but only distributed it in Penwortham.
She said: “I have always been interested in history, especially local.
“For years now I have saved information I have collected or researched. I am just fascinated by it, particularly the nineteenth century.
“I love to browse the old newspapers and find choice articles. In the end I wanted to share it with other people, who would enjoy it as much as I do.”
The magazine is supported by adverts from local businesses, and Crook says it’s not about the money.
“We cover the cost of printing it, but it’s more important to make people aware of their local history and heritage.”
One of the columnists signed up is Blog Preston’s Paul Swarbrick who writes the Preston Past feature on the site.
Look below at the first issue of the magazine
First edition – Preston History Magazine
What do you think of the magazine? Are you interested in local history? Let us know your views in the comments below

While Google and Meta are experiencing slowdowns, Amazon’s advertising business grew 19% in the fourth quarter, despite accounting for only a tiny portion of total sales. Amazon outperformed Wall Street expectations with a stronger-than-expected Q4 earnings report amid “an uncertain economy,” according to CEO Andy Jassy.
With the holiday shopping season, the fourth quarter is traditionally Amazon’s strongest; this time, the company reported Q4 revenues of US$149.2 billion, up 9% year on year, exceeding the Street’s prediction of US$145.4 billion.
Costs, one-time charges, and a decline in the value of Amazon’s investment in electric vehicle maker Rivian impacted net income of US$278 million (or 3 cents/share), compared to US$14.3 billion a year earlier. Sales in the online store’s segment fell 2% yearly, owing primarily to the return to normalcy and physical stores.
Given the inflationary headwinds that big tech is facing, as well as recent slowdowns at Snap, Alphabet’s parent company, Meta, and Amazon’s mass layoff crisis, the results are better than expected. While slower advertising spends are hurting other tech behemoths, the e-commerce titan appears to be defying the trend, with Q4 ad revenues totaling US$11.6 billion, a 19% year-over-year increase.
Although advertising accounts for a small portion of Amazon’s total revenue, most of its ad revenues are related to e-commerce. The company currently sees it as an area of rapid growth with the potential to become a key player in the digital ad market. In a lengthy Q4 release, the company highlighted several of its entertainment releases, including extensive bet shows like Dr. Seuss Baking Challenge and My Policeman, starring Harry Styles.
Amazon praised Wednesday’s Netflix mega-hit produced by its MGM division for debuting at the top of Nielsen’s weekly streaming charts. CFO Brian Olsavsky stated during the earnings call with analysts that entertainment will become an essential part of the company’s future.
“We’ve seen Prime members respond to our expanding entertainment offerings, along with competitive pricing, broad selection, and faster delivery speed,” he said, mentioning NFL Thursday Night Football and Lord of the Rings.

Halloween - Fun breaks in Europe
October 31st brings the witching night! Halloween gives us a chance to dress up, tell spooky stories to the kids and indulge in a few too many sweets. All whilst imagining the antics of spirits, ghouls and other things that go bump in the night…
As to why we celebrate Halloween, or All Hallow’s Eve, there are a number of different theories but its true origins are lost to the mists of time. However it used to be celebrated, modern culture has transformed it into a guarantee of sweet treats and family fun, at home and abroad!
The Flexicover Team has put together a list of eerie destinations for all brave and hardy souls to visit this Halloween (and oh, do take the kids with you!).

Disneyland Paris – Ghostly Parisian fun!
A take-the-family favourite, Disneyland Paris is a great place to visit on Halloween, as special decorations, shows and parties all around the park transport you to another world.

Google has announced the beta of their new search-based free hosted e-mail service, called gmail. They will provide 1 gigabyte of free storage to every user, with built-in indexing and search. Wow.Minding the Planet: Google Launches gMail
This is big news. Wow is right, Nova. Somebody had to get this right, since Hotmail certainly wasn't getting any better, and the broadband providers were doing a cr*p job with anti-spam and anti-virus (or charging for it!).
I'm pretty much immediately going to recommend everyone that doesn't have their own email account and/or is currently using Hotmail or Yahoo should use this.
Please, please let this not be an early April Fools...

- Mr. Ahmed Ali : UK
"I got a missed call from you guys and I thought maybe there was something wrong with my transaction. Then I spoke to William who said: "You played in two competitions, the free competition to win an ipod nano and the Supercar Competition... do you know which one you’ve won?" When it turned out to be the Supercar competition I was over the moon. My friends were teasing me that when I got to your office all I’d really get was a toy car. They weren’t laughing for long when they realised that I actually had won. I am not sure which car to choose yet but will be making my mind up over the next few days....what a great feeling!!!"

In the spring of 2013, three Caddo burial vessels from an unrecorded site near Frankston, Texas were documented at the McSpadden residence in College Station, Texas. All three vessels are intact and are not reconstructed. Scan data was collected using a ZScanner 700CX running VXElements 2.0 via the scanner direct control function in Geomagic Design X. Post-processing of these data occurred in Design X, and quality control for missing data leveraged both Design X and Verify. These data will be used in a study aimed at the 3D geometric morphometric analysis of Caddo vessels. In addition to the study of geometric morphometrics, these data can augment a wide variety of projects in the digital humanities and archaeology.

Now, this is intriguing! If you look about half-way down the fan film guidelines to the second-to-last point under #6, you find the following:
No unlicensed Star Trek-related or fan production-related merchandise or services can be offered for sale or given away as premiums, perks or rewards or in connection with the fan production fundraising.
That seems pretty straightforward. If you want to give away any perks, they have to be licensed Star Trek merchandise. You can’t give any patches or T-shirts or signed scripts or posters or anything related to your fan production in exchange for donations…at least if you want to make sure you aren’t sued or sent a cease and desist letter by CBS and Paramount.
So how was it that STARSHIP REPUBLIC, the newest fan film to launch a crowd-funding campaign (and the first to do so since the Axanar settlement), was offering a whole set of perks? Sure, most perks were digital, but there were also physical posters in the mix (like the two images shown above).
Well, it turns out that they simply asked CBS for permission–and they got it! Well, kinda…
Starship Republic is the latest fan production to come out of Starbase Studios, which just moved its studio from Oklahoma City, OK to Mountain Home, AR. Last week, Republic released the following 9-minute vignette for their debut episode “Serpent of Yesterday”:
It was timed to coincide with a new Indiegogo campaign trying to raise $16,000. The show-runner behind this new fan production is Boca Raton, Florida-based Ray Tesi, and he was nice enough to grant me an interview where the first question I asked cut right to the chase…
JONATHAN – Okay, we’ll get to all the standard “Who are you?” and “What made you decide to produce a Star Trek fan film?” questions in just a second. But right now, I wanna know just one thing: how is it that you’re giving away perks in your crowd-funding campaign?????
RAY – Well Jonathan, I’d like to say that it was with much planning and forethought, but the horse was already out of the barn when it occurred to me to contact CBS.
I and my team thought that if we offered physical perks with images of Republic and they were low ticket items, CBS would most likely look the other way. And that was how we initially approached it.
But when we released our Indiegogo campaign, many of the folks that we had counted on to help us promote the campaign told me they felt that I had violated the perk guideline, and they were not going to move forward unless we took down or changed the physical perks we were offering. I tried using the argument that “the guidelines are guidelines and not rules,” but they weren’t having it.
Without their help, I was dead in the water. At that point it thought if I were going to go down in flames, I might as well get it over with now. So almost out of desperation, I felt the best solution was to clear everything with CBS, if I could.
JONATHAN – So you decided to contact CBS directly? What exactly did you do?
RAY – Well, I spent about an hour internet trolling for John Van Citters’ e-mail address. I’m pretty persistent and, true to form, I found what looked to be a correct address. I composed an email to John not knowing if it would actually get to him…and if it did would he even read it…and if he read it, would he even reply?
JONATHAN – Would you be willing to share the e-mail that you sent him?
RAY – I don’t see why not. There’s nothing confidential about it…
Forgive me for writing to you directly, but we have just launched a crowd funding campaign for our new fan film, Starship Republic. We had previously filmed a 6 minute vignette which is now online and are now looking for funding to complete 2 15-minute episodes.
The campaign launched yesterday (Monday Feb 13) and has been met with some concern regarding, for the most part, our perks. We have followed the guidelines to the letter in all other respects and we feel that our perks, while not licensed, are modest and would not be an issue with CBS. All physical perks are are provided at low donation amounts.
We are also donating 10% of all contributions to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Southern Florida, an organization that I feel very strongly about for personal reasons.
I most likely should have contacted you prior to launch as this is one of the first campaigns since the guidelines were released and the first since the Axanar settlement.
Out campaign is being hosed on Indiegogo at:
I would appreciate if you could have someone look at our campaign and give us your comments. I have been a fan of Star Trek for all 50 years and am respectful of both the franchise and CBS’ ownership, and we have tried to carry that respect into our campaign.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
JONATHAN – And I’m guessing you got a response then?
RAY – Well frankly, thinking I would be in limbo for days or maybe forever, I didn’t know what to expect. You know, hope for the best but expect the worst. But to my complete surprise, I received a positive reply from John within just a few hours! I was floored!
JONATHAN – And what did he say?
RAY – Well, I’m not sure whether I’m allowed to share his e-mail response to me verbatim, but he thanked us for reaching out to them and said they didn’t see any issues with our present campaign.
JONATHAN – Not even the perks?
RAY – He didn’t mention them.
JONATHAN – Maybe he didn’t notice?
RAY – Oh, I think he read everything very carefully. We had mentioned on our Indiegogo page that we eventually planned to do six episodes, and he said they would be “concerned” with that, as it “would be inconsistent with the guidelines.”
But he did like that we’re giving 10% to charity, saying that was “in the best traditions of Star Trek.”
JONATHAN -Anything else?
RAY – Well, he did remind me that CBS reserves all of their rights and remedies if we end up violating the guidelines.
JONATHAN – That doesn’t surprise me.
RAY – But he did wish us the best of luck with our campaign.
JONATHAN – Well, that sounds friendly. And I don’t say that sarcastically, as I actually think John Van Citters is a really nice guy.
So you got the official stamp of approval to have perks… congratulations!
This past Monday, John e-mailed me again stating that CBS does not approve fan film campaigns, and he asked me to immediately remove that notice from our campaign page. He said that, even though they don’t see any issues at present, that’s not the same as approval or any sort of implied endorsement. And it’s not a waiver of rights on the part of CBS.
JONATHAN – And so you removed the notice, I take it?
RAY – Oh, absolutely!
JONATHAN – Well, I suppose it was an honest mistake. I think all fan films are trying to navigate this “undiscovered country” that is the guidelines. And probably so is CBS! I’m sure misunderstandings are going pop up for a while still. In fact, it’s probably a good thing this misunderstanding happened, since it gave John a chance to clarify things.
(And also, that’s the reason I don’t have a problem reporting on this interaction, as I think it’s important for clarifications like this to filter out to other fan film producers.)
So, since John flagged your planned six episodes as a concern, does this mean we’ll only ever get to see 30 minutes of Starship Republic?
RAY – I certainly hope not. The future is always unpredictable. My goal now is to make our full episode and live to fight another day. I have no intention of fighting the spirit of the guidelines and to remain respectful of the franchise, but I hope I can still work within its framework and tell some stand-alone stories with our crew.
JONATHAN – So how did you come up with a budget of $16,000? I saw the nice pie chart, but I didn’t see specific amounts for any of the items, just percentages.
RAY – I have some very skilled and educated members on my team. Gabriel Morgan is my cinematographer and post-production editor, and Samuel Cockings, whom you know from Trekyards, is doing our visual effects. We Skype all the time and put our collective heads together to determine all of the services we would need to accommodate, a real dollar amount to complete our episode, and approximate how to allocate those funds at least by percentage.
The one hard commitment we have is that 10% of all contributions will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida, something the entire cast and crew is passionate about. $16,000 is a real number, not something we made up, and far less than the $50,000 that the CBS guidelines permits.
JONATHAN -There’s now a LOT of fan films and series that have shot on meticulously reconstructed TOS-era sets–Star Trek Continues, New Voyages, Starship Exeter, Starship Farragut, Starship Valiant, Starship Grissom, Dreadnought Dominion…to name but a few–what makes Starship Republic stand out as unique?
RAY – What makes us different from any other Trek TOS film is that it has been filmed in a modern style using modern film making techniques. We are also the first fan film to cross into the Star Trek: Enterprise timeline and also bring in elements of TNG. Our goal is to make good drama with compelling characters that just happens to be set in the Star Trek universe, and we have a lot of timelines to draw on.
JONATHAN – What exactly do you mean by “a modern style using modern film making techniques”?
RAY -While there have been many original series fan productions over the years, the most notable being Phase 2 and Continues, each was attempting to re-capture the 1960’s feel.
We at Republic, however, are taking a different approach. While the look and feel of the original series has stayed the same, cinema and technology has developed. We saw how good the 1960’s styles can look when filmed in a more modern way in the Star Trek:Enterprise episode “In a Mirror Darkly.” We want to take this one step further and use high end Canon Cinema cameras utilizing depth-of-field, more creative angles, and both free-hand and slider-based shots. All of this combined will give our story a unique feel since, fundamentally, we want to make the best film possible that just happens to be in the TOS era which, in turn, will help give it all a modern feel.
In terms of our visual effects, we have Samuel Cockings, the CG artist behind the popular web series Trekyards, taking on all of our VFX, both our space shots and other effects like the transporter effects. He has had over 2 years experience over at Trekyards working with Star Trek ships and he is again approaching these classic 1960’s designs in a more modern way. Rather than trying to replicate the feel of the 6-foot model Enterprise from the 1960’s with motion control and limited movements, he is trying to capture a feel closer to the USS Defiant we saw in “In a Mirror Darkly.” And he wants to push that even further with angles that you have not seen on Star Trek before but still keep that Trek feel. You will see what we mean when you watch the vignette and our new upcoming teasers.
JONATHAN – Actually, I’ve already seen the vignette, “Serpent of Yesterday,” and the VFX are very impressive. Samuel definitely did an outstanding job.
RAY – Thank you for saying so. Anyway, the bottom line is: we are not trying to replicate the original series; we are trying to tell a new and modern story that takes place in the original series timeline and using everything at our disposal to make it look as good as possible in its own right.
JONATHAN – Okay, let’s switch gears to the “origin story.” Who are you and what made you decide to produce your own fan film?
Next time, we learn more about how Starship Republic came to be, what’s in store for the future, and the trials and tribulations (not tribble-ations) of shooting your first-ever fan film and discovering at the last minute that half your cast didn’t bother to show up!!! What is a director to do?

Ougon no Tsuki
|Original / Romaji Lyrics||English Translation|
Tsumetaku natte shimatta
Donna hito yori mo umaku jibun no koto wo itsuwareru
Chikara wo motte shimatta
The tears I was supposed to have shed
I can deceive myself better than anyone else can
I held the power for it
Suikomu iki ha mune no tochuu de tsukaeta
Donna kotoba de kimi ni tsutaereba ii
Hakidasu koe ha itsumo tochuu de togireta
But the breath I inhaled got stuck partway through my chest?
What sort of words should I impart to you?
The voice I spat out always got interrupted partway
Yami wo seotte shimatta
Sono usuakari no naka de tesaguri dake de
Nanimo ka mo umaku yarou to shite kita
And shouldered the darkness
Inside that weak light, by just fumbling around,
We tried to do everything well
Rokugatsu no yoru eien wo chikau kisu wo shiyou
Soshite yozora ni ougon no tsuki wo egakou
Boku ni dekiru dake no hikari wo atsumete
Hikari wo atsumete . . .
And kiss to pledge eternity on a June night
And then, let's paint a golden moon in a night sky
Collecting only the light that I can
Collecting the light . . .
Dareka ga boku no koto wo dokoka de waratte itemo
Kimi no ashita ga minikuku yugandemo
Bokura ga nido to junsui wo te ni irerarenakutemo
Even if, somewhere, someone's laughing at me
Even if your tomorrow twists into something ugly
Even if we're never able to regain our purity

Replica Hermes Oosthuizen was runner up at the 2012 Masters Tournament. In the final round, he scored an albatross on the second hole of Augusta National Golf Club. This was only the fourth ever albatross in Masters history, and the first to be televised, as well as the first ever on that hole. Oosthuizen took the outright lead of the tournament with this exceptional shot, and Hermes Replica maintained the lead until caught on the 16th hole, by Bubba Watson. He was eventually defeated by Watson on the second hole of a sudden death playoff. He won his fifth European Tour title at the Maybank Malaysian Open the following week. Replica Hermes

I hate my job and I hate that I’m not doing anything about it. I feel so wimpy, so ineffective. I’m just dying and watching myself die, just standing on the sidelines! I don’t know what to do, I feel so trapped. I’d have to go to college, and I can’t afford that on this minimum wage salary!!! I’d have to take night classes. I don’t want to do that! I’m already whipped when I get home late almost every night! I can’t see myself leaving work and cramming some fast food down my throat on my way to some community college because I can’t afford to go to a university. And how long would an engineering degree take on that slow-mo schedule, anyway?! Jesus, I wish I’d had my shit together when I was a kid, gone to college like I was supposed to when it was on my parents’ tab. It’s all so huge and hopeless now and it’s my own fault. God, I am so tired of this life. Cassie underlined the word tired. First one line, then two, then she saw herself digging the pen into the paper, watched as anger seized her and spasmodically scratched fat black lines back and forth, up, down, around and around, until the grip of it released her as quickly as it’d come on. She went limp all around her bones. Her tears had mixed with the paper and the furious nest of black lines and made a grayish paste in her journal. She just stared at it. And then for a reason she wasn’t fully in touch with, she calmly turned to a fresh page in her journal and began writing. Cassie, you need to snap out of your oblivion. I’m living the life you chose by not choosing and it’s sheer hell. And then she took the biggest, fattest marker she could find in her desk drawer and wrote slowly, deliberately, CASSIE WAKE UP!!!!!!!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
“Why, my brilliant brood,” Mr. Davids was saying, “why, from the standpoint of the fundamental laws of physics, should we not have the same access to the future as we have to the past?” Mr. D swept the roomful of juniors with his wide, wild eyes. Cassie smiled shyly and looked down when he got to her. Mr. D was a young teacher, a little too good-looking, and he was full of it. He was like watching a stand-up comedian, was everywhere at once with his “out there” ideas and brain-cramping challenges. Like everyone else, Cassie was down with the entertainment value. It made physics tolerable. But he was such a force, the mighty windstorm, and she just a reed. She doodled in her journal as Mr. D crescendoed, in tune with the exact number of minutes he had before the bell rang. She began to slip away into her drawing, flowers becoming monsters with blood dripping from their teeth as the daydream progressed from high school to whatever happened after that. She saw a flash of herself utterly miserable, frustrated, working a shit job. She saw herself cry out. She snapped to and felt the despair claw her insides, from her brain down. Mr. D was winding up to leave his charges with a mind-curving thought, “So why, when we act now, do we think we can affect the future only and not the past?” And there was the bell. Dude’s a pro, she thought as she made a beeline to Guidance. Previously utterly passionless, she now had a passion—not to end up suffering a slow, agonizing death in a low-paying dead-end job. She really didn’t care what she chose. She was good at math, her counselor had mentioned engineering, so what the hell!

This project systematically investigates if and how companies engage in local governance in areas of limited statehood. We are particularly interested in the quality of non-state governance. While some argue that business in governance may complement or substitute for weak state capacities, governance literature paradoxically emphasizes the importance of a credible shadow of hierarchy to make firms’ ‘good governance’ behavior work. We examine if and how companies’ governance behavior depends on the capacity and the commitment of the state to cast a credible shadow of hierarchy. More importantly, are there functional equivalents that hold companies accountable in these environments, encouraging them to provide collective goods, to do so in a more inclusive way, and to organize production to minimize negative externalities? We investigate these questions empirically by studying the diverse security and environmental practices of extractive industries in four mining areas in Sub-Saharan Africa, which vary with regard to the capacities and the commitment of the state.

Take away the glamour, the cocktails and the Manolo Blahniks -- but leave the sex -- and you have "Girls," written and directed by its star Lena Dunham and executive produced by Judd Apatow.
Some of our favorite lines from the trailer include:
- "You are from New York. Therefore, you are just naturally interesting."
- "My circumstances have changed, and I can no longer afford to work for free."
- "So, I've calculated, and I can last in New York for three-and-a-half more days, maybe seven if I don't eat lunch."
- "You think that because you're what, 11 pounds overweight that you know struggle?"
- "I am 13 pounds overweight and it has been awful for me my whole life!"
- "It's like we're all slaves to this place that doesn't even want us."
According to HBO, the series will give "a comic look at the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of girls in their early 20s." Dunham's "Girls" will kick off its 10-episode Season 1 on Sun., April 15 at 10:30 p.m. EST.
Watch the all-new trailer for "Girls" above and an interview with Dunham below.

We include products we think are useful for our readers. If you buy through links on this page, we may earn a small commission Here’s our process.
Greatist only shows you brands and products that we stand behind.Our team thoroughly researches and evaluates the recommendations we make on our site. To establish that the product manufacturers addressed safety and efficacy standards, we:
- Evaluate ingredients and composition: Do they have the potential to cause harm?
- Fact-check all health claims: Do they align with the current body of scientific evidence?
- Assess the brand: Does it operate with integrity and adhere to industry best practices?
Kitchen space is precious — we don’t blame you for being selective about the tools that earn a spot in your cabinets. Truthfully, though, some standard utensils belong in every kitchen, even if you think you’ll never use them.
These are the underdogs of the cooking world. Read this now, thank us later.
Why you think you don’t need it: You have a box grater, you can get zest using a peeler, ground nutmeg is just the same as fresh nutmeg, for some reason you love the sticky feeling of minced garlic on your fingertips, and you can buy preshredded cheese.
Why you actually do: When you need a finer shred or zest, it’s not a box grater you want, it’s a Microplane. With a Microplane, you can quickly turn garlic cloves into paste, zest citrus with ease, shred cheese like you’re tableside at a fancy restaurant, grate fresh ginger, and so much more. Sure, you’ve probably gotten along fine without it so far, but once it’s in your kitchen, you’ll reach for it over and over.
There’s nothing wrong with buying preshredded or preground goods, but a Microplane opens up a world of possibilities. Suddenly you can be someone who uses only fresh grated Parm or quickly whips together a zesty ginger-lime marinade without having to switch tools.
When we tell you freshly grated nutmeg is so much better than preground, don’t take our word for it. Just ask Alton Brown, who never leaves home without a whole nutmeg and a grater!
Wire mesh strainer(s)
Why you think you don’t need it: Your colander works fine.
Why you actually do: Colanders have big holes in them, perfect for straining water out of pasta. But what if you need to strain chicken stock, sift flour, make a silky-smooth hot sauce, or dust some scones with powdered sugar? We recommend having a few different sizes of these around because they’re also great for removing the watery excess from raw eggs before poaching them to make sure your water doesn’t get all cloudy and gross.
Perfectly smooth, lump-free buttercream isn’t possible without sifting your powdered sugar or cocoa powder first. No one uses those old squeeze-handle sifters anymore. Why would they when a few quick taps on the side of a wire mesh strainer can do the same thing more quickly?
Why you think you don’t need it: Cups are fine! Math sucks. What is an ounce or gram, anyway?
Why you actually do: Measuring by weight is far more accurate than measuring by volume. One cup of flour can weigh 150 grams if it’s packed tightly or 100 grams if the flour is aerated and leveled off. A cup of flour is usually around 120 grams. That kind of fluctuation can make a big difference! If you’ve ever followed a recipe using cup measurements exactly and still had it turn out kinda funny, well, that’s probably why.
Kitchen scales can feel intimidating. If you’ve ever tried dividing 1 3/4 cups into thirds, you know it’s soooo much easier to divide 210 grams by 3. Plus, you don’t need to use a ton of measuring cups. Just plop an empty mixing bowl on the scale, deduct the weight of the bowl, and then start adding ingredients.
If you’re not a baker, the kitchen scale also comes in handy when a recipe calls for 1 pound of pork shoulder but your grocery store only sells it in 8-pound packages.
Resources for measuring by weight
- King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart
- Bob’s Red Mill’s flour weight chart
- Taste of Home’s non-brand-specific ingredient weight charts
- The Calculator Site’s cooking conversions
Why you think you don’t need it: Your oven has a temperature dial, duh.
Why you actually do: You would be shocked — shocked, we tell you! — to know how many ovens are improperly calibrated. If you’ve had a string of underbaked cakes or burnt roasts, your oven’s temperature gauge could be the problem. Your oven might alert you 15 minutes before it actually gets to temperature, or it might just always be off by about 10, 15, or even 20 degrees. That can make a big difference!
Get yourself an oven thermometer for about five bucks and hang it on your oven rack. That way you’ll always know the oven’s true temperature and can even calibrate your oven for a more permanent solution to the problem.
Why you think you don’t need it: You have a slotted spoon.
Why you actually do: Slotted spoons are nice, but when it comes to getting something out of a pot of hot water or oil, a wire spider can’t be beat. Slotted spoons don’t have the surface area necessary to fully support fried chicken or bagels.
When it comes to blanching and shocking vegetables, the wide, shallow shape of a wire spider will get as many veggies out of the pot in one scoop as possible, meaning they’re far less likely to overcook before you can get them into an ice bath.
The thin wires and larger holes also mean you’ll get less splashing and far less retained water or oil in every scoop than you would with a slotted spoon.
Metal bench scraper
Why you think you don’t need it: You have a knife. You don’t bake bread.
Why you actually do: A metal bench scraper with a nice sharp edge is the single fastest way to scrape off any hard and crusty dried ~anything~ that’s stuck to your countertops. The sturdy blade makes it so easy to clean off your cutting boards and scoop up crumbs to toss in one quick motion. I use mine so often it’s basically become a third hand in the kitchen.
Beyond that, you can use it to easily divide and shape even sticky bread doughs, and it’s great for scooping up all the peppers or onions or whatever it is you’ve just chopped and dropping them into a skillet or bowl without them falling all over the floor.
Mini offset spatula
Why you think you don’t need it: You have regular spatulas, you have mini spatulas, you have butter knives.
Why you actually do: When you need to get cake batter into every corner of your cake pan, a mini offset spatula is the tool you’re looking for.
It’s blunter, thinner, and more flexible than a butter knife, so it’s perfect for frosting cakes and cupcakes but also ideal for spreading thick pancake batter in a hot skillet, flattening graham cracker crusts, and knocking any air bubbles out of jam jars or cheesecakes. When the mini-est of mini spatulas is too big to fit in a jar, the mini offset spatula is your friend.
The offset design makes it perfect for getting into all sorts of nooks and crannies without requiring you to contort your hand and wrist in uncomfortable positions. You can also use it for spreading pizza sauce, making chocolate shards, and lifting delicate cookies off a hot cookie sheet.
Why you think you don’t need it: You have hands. Or you can just use the bottled citrus juices.
Why you actually do: When you’re moving quickly in the kitchen, the last thing you want is to suddenly have your hands covered in acidic, sticky citrus juice.
They might seem clunky, but it’s such a relief when you don’t have to fish errant seeds out of batter—and your hands stay dry.
Sure, in most cases, you can use bottled juices. They’re a good option, especially if you have arthritis or the squeezing motion of a juicer doesn’t work for you. But we still think this tool comes in handy more often than not and is worthy of a place in your kitchen.
Why you think you don’t need it: You’ve got a big whisk. Besides, a fork is the same thing, right?
Why you actually do: Have you ever tried fitting a regular-size whisk into a narrow bowl or cup? It’s awkward, and it doesn’t let the whisk serve its intended purpose — getting air into things.
A whisk works best when given lots of room to move around so you can use big, vigorous movements to incorporate lots of air into whatever you’re whisking or force two opposing ingredients to emulsify (that’s science for “get along nicely”).
Sure, you could use a fork, but a whisk’s 8+ wire tines are far more effective than 4 inflexible prongs. Plus, you won’t have to transfer whatever you’re whisking into a bigger bowl just to let your big whisk do its job right. A tiny whisk can get the job done in a small bowl. Plus, it’s super cute — sometimes that matters!
At least two pairs of tongs
Why you think you don’t need them: Isn’t one set enough?
Why you actually do: Truthfully, we recommend owning a long pair, a short pair, and at least one mini pair.
Here’s why you should at least start with two: It’s ideal to have one for handling raw meat and one for handling cooked (ready to serve) meat. If you use the same pair of tongs to cook a steak and then to serve it, you’ve cross-contaminated the cooked meat! Yuck!
Why you think you don’t need it: You can just make a little slice to check if your chicken is done. You always follow recipe instructions exactly.
Why you actually do: The only way to be 100 percent sure something — particularly meat — is cooked through is to take its temperature.
Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, and if it hits the correct temperature for doneness, you know it’s safe to eat. If you slice a piece of meat open to check, you’ve released some of the precious juices and will end up with a drier end product. An instant-read thermometer creates a tiny hole, preserving the juiciness while letting you know if the food is cooked to perfection.
For baked goods, if the thermometer registers between 190 and 210°F, you can be pretty sure the item is cooked through. For thicker, crustier breads, you’re safer in the 200 to 210°F range, but how would you know without a thermometer? The sharp point doubles as a cake tester — if it comes out with cake batter on it, keep baking. If it comes out clean, the cake is done!
Why you think you don’t need it: You’ve never had to sharpen your knives before…
Why you actually do: Did you know you’re far more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife than with a sharp knife? This is a matter of safety, people! If you’ve never sharpened your knives before, stop reading this article. Stop doing whatever you were doing before you started reading this article. Go buy a knife sharpener.
Using a sharp knife to cut onions makes it far less likely that you’ll end up a weepy, teary mess by the time you’re ready to start cooking. Whether you pick up a full whetstone kit or just a $5 handheld countertop sharpener, a few quick swipes of the blade when your knife starts mashing more than slicing will save you time and help you keep all your fingers.
Trust me. Sharpen your favorite knife and cut an onion. Then try to tell me you don’t need to sharpen your knives.

Given our momentary fixation on the bracket – the greatest geometrical shape ever conceived other than maybe the dodecahedron --- more and more web sites have come up with new ways to parse the NCAA Tournament. One, by Payscale.com, may interest locals, in that Cal and Harvard pencil out as national finalists based on average graduate income, but since few of you went to either Cal or Harvard, Chris Mottram’s Beer Bracket is probably the most helpful.
That is, until you realize that (a) he couldn’t think of any Oregon beers, which is an outrage given the existence of Cascade’s Vlad The Imp Aler Northwest Sour, and (b) he chose Cal’s beer over UNLV’s, but got that one just wrong a bit, going with the Lagunitas Sucks Imperial IPA rather than either member of the Pliny family from Russian River.
Oh, and (c), the most prevalent beer in Las Vegas is Casino Free, which should have been given much more intensive consideration.
Rumors out of Arizona have the Los Angeles Dodgers negotiating to acquire the World Baseball Classic and then eliminating it, holding up Hanley Ramirez’ thumb as Exhibit A. This is why major league teams hate the WBC, which is why it can never be fixed without the one thing that nobody wants to do – pay the players a bunch of money for doing their patriotic duty.
And let’s be honest here: What’s more patriotic than cashing in for looking selfless and noble? Your answer, in case you’re stumped, is “Are you kidding?”
In case this is bothering you, the answer is no, the Cavaliers were not unlucky Wednesday night. They were the Cavaliers. And the Heat, which had been the Cavaliers, became the Heat just in time to remind everyone of this important and-should-have-been-self-evident truth.
A WINNING STREAK IS NEVER A BAD THING, NO MATTER HOW CONTRARIAN A DEBATING SCENARIO YOU TRY TO CREATE. IF LOSING EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE ISN’T A BAD IDEA, THEN LOGICALLY LOSING ALL THE TIME IS A GREAT IDEA, AND NOT EVEN ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN BELIEVES THAT.
Sorry to go all-caps, but this shouldn’t really have to be said, should it?
Brian Urlacher found out that being the prototypical Chicago Bear counts the same as being the prototypical anything on any NFL team. In fact, he probably could have studied up on Dick Butkus to find out how it works. That said, he couldn’t have been surprised at how this ends for everyone, especially after New England owner Bob Kraft decided to get snippy about Tom Brady for his Wes Welker grumbles.
Plus, it’s been a few years since Urlacher was national ads-good, anyway. Good, yes, but his best days were nailed to the “You Are Now Leaving XXX: Come Again Soon” highway sign.
The NHL general managers, meeting in Death To Tourists, Nova Scotia (ha ha ha, just kidding), have decided to recommend only shortening the height of a goalie’s leg pads as a rules change to be taken to the league’s competition committee, meeting in St. Maarten (way more like it).
Makes sense, too. Nashville’s Pekka Rinne, who is 6-5, had his pads rezoned for residential use so he could use them as walls for his backyard shed.
And finally, Fresno State president John Welty is the new voice saying that his school will drop football if forced to share its revenues with the athletes who deliver the money. This preposterous bluff should be called, and it may be, but since Welty is retiring, it won’t be called on his watch. So we will leave you today with this:
[RATTO: Commissioners follow one thing and one thing only: Money]
“John, for the good of society, stop speaking. If you really think it is noble to take opportunities away from student athletes just to prove a point to a judge, then you’re getting out of the business at just the right time. Oh, but that’s a nice touch leaving this smoldering bag of the dog’s business on the front porch of your successor. Quality move, J.D. Top shelf all the way.”

Red List reports
These summary statistics and analyses are based on the European mammals dataset published in May 2007.
The status of terrestrial mammals was assessed at two regional levels: geographical Europe, and the EU 25 (the 25 nation states that were members of the European Union when the mammal assessment was initiated in 2005). Marine species were assessed at one regional level, so the European and EU 25 Red List status is the same for any given species. At the European regional level, 14.2% of terrestrial mammals are threatened, with 1.5% Critically Endangered, 3.4% Endangered, and 9.3% Vulnerable. A further 3.4% were classed as Data Deficient. Within the EU 25, the pattern is similar, with 14.4% of terrestrial mammals threatened, although a higher proportion of species are Critically Endangered (2.4%). A higher proportion of marine species were assessed as threatened: 22.2% in total, evenly split between the threatened categories with 7.4% Critically Endangered, 7.4% Endangered and 7.4% Vulnerable. The true proportion of threatened species may be even higher, as a large proportion of marine mammals (44.4%) were assessed as Data Deficient.
Overall, considering both terrestrial and marine species at the European regional level, 15.2% of species are threatened. A further 9.1 % considered Near Threatened, and 1.3% are already regionally or globally Extinct.
A further 51 species were classed as Not Applicable (22 were introduced after AD 1500, 27 are of marginal occurrence in the European region, and two are feral descendants of ancient domesticated animals).
*Excluding species that are considered Not Applicable
Documenting population trends is a key to assessing species status, and a special effort was made to determine which species are declining, stable, or increasing. More than a quarter (27%) of European mammals are declining in population. A further 32% are stable, and only 8% are increasing. A number of these increases are due to successful species-based conservation action. Because trend information is not available for 33% of species, however, the percentage of species in decline may actually be considerably higher.
Two European terrestrial mammal species (1.0% of the total number assessed) are known to have gone extinct since AD 1500. These two species are the aurochs Bos primigenius and the Sardinian pika Prolagus sardus. The aurochs was Extinct in the Wild, except in Jaktorowka Forest, Masovia, Poland, by the start of the 15th century. The last wild individual is reputed to have died in 1627. The aurochs is the ancestor of domestic cattle. The Sardinian pika was a pika native to the Mediterranean islands of Sardinia and Corsica until its extinction, which probably occurred in the late 1700s or early 1800s.
One marine mammal, the grey whale Eschrichtius robustus, is Regionally Extinct. It formerly occurred in the North Atlantic and adjacent waters, but was extirpated by hunting. Sub-fossil remains, the most recent dated at around 1675, have been found on the eastern seaboard of North America from Florida to new Jersey, and on the coasts of the English Channel and the North and Baltic seas. There are historical accounts of living grey whales from Iceland in the early 1600s and possibly off New England in the early 1700s. The species now survives only in the North Pacific and adjacent waters.
Status by Taxonomic Group
Terrestrial mammals native to Europe belong to eight major groups, or taxonomic orders: Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates), Carnivora (carnivores), Cetacea (whales, dolphins and porpoises), Chiroptera (bats), Erinaceomorpha (hedgehogs and their relatives), Lagomorpha (rabbits, hares and pikas), Rodentia (rodents) and Soricomorpha (shrews and moles). Considerable differences exist among these groups in both species numbers as well as threatened status. Rodents, bats, and soricomorphs (shrews and moles) constitute the majority of European mammals. Carnivores, ungulates, bats and lagomorphs (rabbits and hares) are particularly threatened.

FOX Sports Media Group Reaches Long-Term Rights Agreement with NFL
Nine-Year Deal Keeps Prestigious NFC Package on FOX Sports Through 2022 Season
Network to Broadcast Super Bowls LI (51), LIV (54) & LVII (57)
New York & Los Angeles, December 14, 2011 - FOX Sports has served as America's No. 1 NFL network since 1994, anchored by one of the top properties in the history of television, the prestigious Sunday afternoon NFC rights package. The network looks to continue that amazing streak through the 2022 season after agreeing to a new nine-year multi-platform media rights agreement with the National Football League beginning in 2014. The announcement was made today by David Hill, Chairman, FOX Sports Media Group. The rights agreement between FOX and the NFL currently in-force runs through the 2013 season.
In addition to remaining the network home of the NFC regular-season package, the new agreement also awards FOX Sports with postseason rights to NFC Wild Card games, Divisional Playoff games, the NFC Championship Game and three Super Bowls (LI, LIV & LVII). The agreement also includes fully authenticated "TV everywhere" rights, which enables FOX Sports to offer games it broadcasts and other NFL on FOX related content on FOXSports.com, tablets and other digital platforms, excluding mobile phones.
"The National Football League is the greatest television property in the world and we are thrilled that it remains the cornerstone of FOX Sports and the FOX Network well into the next decade," said Hill. "Everyone at FOX Sports looks forward to presenting the NFL, television's ultimate reality programming, providing our viewers with the finest pregame, game and postgame coverage possible for many years to come."
Flexible scheduling, which the NFL initiated to ensure quality matchups in all Sunday time slots and as it relates to FOX gives NFC teams a chance to play their way into the late-afternoon 4:15 PM ET window, expands in 2014. Included in the changes is a limited ability for the NFL to move games between FOX and CBS that would bring regional games to wider audiences. Further details on enhanced flexible scheduling are still in development.
This marks the fourth media rights deal between FOX Sports and the NFL dating back to the landmark agreement struck in December 1993 that essentially solidified FOX as a major broadcast network.
The NFL on FOX has set viewership records in each of the last two seasons, and is currently on pace for a third straight. AMERICA'S GAME OF THE WEEK, the 4:15 PM ET window on FOX's doubleheader Sundays, is television's No. 1 show in any day-part, in households and across every major male and adult demographic. The strength of FOX's NFC package has enabled the FOX NFL SUNDAY pregame show to rank as America's No. 1 pregame show for 18 straight seasons and THE OT postgame show often ranks among prime time's top-20 programs.

The worlds of art and music collide once again with Secret 7” returning for its fifth year, supported as it has been from the start by Universal Music. Now’s your chance to design artwork for John Lennon, Etta James, Max Richter, The Jam, Tame Impala and Jack Garratt.
After another successful year in 2014, with over 22,000 people attending the exhibition, Secret 7” has become an important part of the art and music calendars.
The submission process for the project opens today and creatives from around the world will be able to choose from seven heavy hitting tracks to design for.
Often cited as one of the most popular and influential songs of all time, Imagine by John Lennon is one of the project’s three classic tracks.
It’s joined by the often covered but rarely replicated, At Last by the legendary Etta James, as well as the single that was never a single, the aptly titled Art School by The Jam.
Brits Critics Choice and BBC Sound of 2016 winner Jack Garrett and Scottish electro trio Chvrches both lend new tracks from albums set for release later this year.
Following a year of critical acclaim, the effortlessly cool but musically opposite pair of Tame Impala and Max Richter round off the line-up for Secret 7” 2016
The full list of singles is below:
John Lennon – Imagine
Etta James – At Last
Max Richter – Dream 3
The Jam – Art School
Tame Impala – The Less I Know The Better
Chvrches – Clearest Blue
Jack Garratt – Worry
As the project enters its fifth year, the Secret 7” concept remains simple: 100 copies each of the 7 tracks are pressed to vinyl before a global collective of creatives are invited to create unique sleeve artwork for each record. The best sleeves will go on public display through April.
Secret 7" 2016 - Cover Our Tracks
INTRODUCING OUR TRACKS FOR 2016! CHVRCHES - Clearest Blue Etta James - At Last Jack Garratt - Worry The Jam - Art School John Lennon - Imagine Max Richter - Dream 3 Tame Impala - The Less I Know The Better 700 unique sleeves will be exhibited during April at Sonos Studio London, before being sold on 2 May in aid of our 2016 charity partner Amnesty International UK. Discover how you can create a sleeve - www.secret-7.com
Posted by Secret 7'' on Thursday, 7 January 2016
After the public exhibition comes the excitement of the sale, which will take place on Bank Holiday Monday (May 2) this year. Music fans, art connoisseurs and collectors alike are invited to buy the singles for £50 each. The only catch is that the buyer won’t know who the record is by, or who has designed the sleeve until they have parted with their cash. Therein lies the secret…
Those that make the final selection will find themselves in the company of some of the artistic community’s leading lights. Previous sleeve designers include the likes of Sir Peter Blake, Yoko Ono, Sir Paul Smith, Ai Weiwei, Gilbert & George, David Shrigley, Jeremy Deller, Jake & Dinos Chapman and D*Face.
Over the past five years, Secret 7” has raised over £130,000 for charity, with singles by artists such as Black Sabbath, Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers, The Cure, Underworld, Elton John, Roxy Music, Peter Gabriel and The Rolling Stones, amongst many others.
This year, the exhibition will be held at Sonos Studio in Shoreditch from April 8 to May 1. This year, all profits raised from the sale will be going to this year’s charity Amnesty International UK.
The submission process for the sleeve design will remain open until March 2 2016. Creatives and designers can submit their artwork either through the Secret 7” website or by picking up a design pack from Sonos Studios and selected record stores.

Project that led to the closure of 25 brothels and crack houses has won the national Tilley Award 2010.
A project that led to the closure of 25 brothels and crack houses and visibly reduced prostitution in two residential areas of Northampton has won the national Tilley Award 2010.
Operation Uncanny beat ten regional finalists to take first place after introducing a number of innovative measures to tackle the problem.
This included local agencies working with the police and the community to provide advice and support to encourage women to leave prostitution, which led to the dramatic decline in the number of sex workers in the Spring Boroughs and Semilong residential areas of Northampton.
Second place was awarded to The Hyndburn Snooker Youth Club in Lancashire, which saw a reduction in crime and disorder by providing free snooker and other activities to young people. Talking the Hardest, a project tackling gang related anti social behaviour in Peckham town centre, was awarded third place.
All ten finalists were recognised for their partnership work in finding solutions to problems affecting their local community at a ceremony held in the House of Commons.
Minister for Crime Prevention James Brokenshire, said: ‘By working together to find local solutions to local problems these projects are excellent examples of communities taking ownership and making a real difference to their local area.
‘I want to congratulate all the winners on their achievements and encourage them to share their knowledge so that more local communities can adopt problem solving approaches like these.’
The Tilley Awards were set up 12 years ago to recognise innovative crime fighting projects where police and local community safety agencies are successfully working together to identify and tackle local crime problems. This year’s awards saw more than 110 entries.
Notes to editors
1.The Tilley Award is named after Professor Nick Tilley, who has carried out considerable work in the UK, often commissioned by the Home Office, to develop problem-oriented approaches to crime reduction. The awards are funded by the Home Office to encourage and spread best practice in crime fighting approaches across England and Wales.
2. A summary of all the finalists can be found on the Home Office website.

A Long Way Down September 5, 2006Posted by Brian L. Belen in Books, Reviews.
The story follows four despondent souls who have individually come to the conclusion that their lives are not worth living. First, there is disgraced television host Martin, recently released from prison for a public scandal involving a tryst with a fifteen year-old girl. Then there is Maureen, a middle-aged single mother whose life has taken a back seat to caring for her mentally handicapped son. Third is Jess, a disturbed eighteen year-old dealing with the disappearence of her older sister and the trauma it has caused her family. Rounding out the quartet is JJ, a musician reduced to delivering pizzas after his long-time band breaks up and his girlfriend leaves him.
What sets the stage for the plot to unfold is not simply that these four decide to end it all. By coincidence, they decide to off themselves on the same night (New Year’s Eve) and at the same place, none other than London’s erstwhile most popular suicide destination (Topper’s House). When the four cross paths on the fated rooftop, the inevitable occurs: they decide to postpone their jump into oblivion and become the unlikeliest suicide support group to come along in a very long time.
Now, this is the first Nick Hornby book I’ve read, but coming into it I had an idea of what to expect. After all, two of the guy’s books have been adapted to film: High Fidelity, which, strangely, I haven’t seen; and About a Boy, which was brilliant. Besides, it’s rather difficult not to be intrigued by a book about suicide (who hasn’t thought about it, even remotely?), especially when it’s obvious that the story would be lighthearted, if not humorous. As such, from page one the reader is treated to a simple formula: a story where person(s) plan suicide, others get in the way, suicide is put off, and in the process everyone comes to realize that life is worth living, with humor injected along the way.
However, it turns out that the story Hornby unfolds before us is not as simplistic. A Long Way Down does progress in a fairly predictable fashion, but there is no singular catharsis, no grand epiphany, no defining feel-good moment at the end to tug at the heartstrings and drive home the point that life is ultimately worth living (though some will most likely disagree with me on this point). Instead, what insights and revelations the story has to offer about the gravity of personal problems and the value of living are less earth-shattering, sometimes painfully obvious, and spread out in “bite-size portions” often at the unlikeliest of moments. More, while the book itself is humorous in typical understated British fashion – and one is hard pressed not to laugh out loud here and there – it is not an out-and-out riot, which gives the book an air of severity appropriate to the subject matter with which it deals.
If one were to find fault with anything, it is perhaps that Hornby is guilty of creating a story that stumbles through most of the plot. For the most part, while the story has its worthwhile moments of insight here and there, one is mostly driven by the desire to find out what happens next and is left somewhat underwhelmed by most of what transpires throughout the book. But in other respects, that stumbling through is quite apropros to a story about people at the end of their rope coming to terms with their miserable lives. More importantly, it’s that very muddling through that allows Hornby to do what he does best: develop characters that are very, very real.
This is where the book shines. The tough sell that Hornby manages to pull of beautifully is in creating characters that readers can empathize with. In presenting the story from the point of view of each protagonist, the tale becomes very personal to the reader, who cannot help but feel for the characters in their moments of despair and laugh out loud at their sometimes ridiculous antics. This is particularly evident with Jess, whom any reader will want to throttle as much as the other characters do one moment but whose pathos elicits just as much sympathy the next. What this amounts to is not just a book that is for the most part entertaining, but one that is decidedly modern and believable. Reading the book, one cannot help but come to the conclusion that, well, it could happen.
That is to say that A Long Way Down is good, but perhaps not for everyone. Readers expecting to find a story that sings the praises of life and the beauty of living may not find it here, and most likely will be turned off by the fair amount of gratuitous swearing in the dialogue (however realistic). Instead, they will find a story that demonstrates how messed up life can be, how some problems are self-inflicted and occasionally beyond our control. Yet beneath all that, the story does drive home a subtle and uplifting message. Yes, life can be unfair and ugly and on a downward spiral; but no one needs to go through that alone, and things are never so bad that a person can’t be helped by opening up to others, even on that long way down.

The Gorbals Vampire
An illustration featuring Glasgow's most famous bogle.
To celebrate Halloween I have made this illustration which features Glasgow’s most famous bogle, the Gorbals Vampire. You can read more about the story below.
In 1954 the police were called out on several successive nights to the city’s Southern Necropolis where gangs of children were running about with axes, knives and crucifixes hunting for a 7ft demon with steel fangs who they believed had eaten two local children. The incident inspired a play at the Citizen’s Theatre and is marked with a mural nearby. The image shows the shadow of the vampire cast against the entrance to the Southern Necropolis, in the background you can see the chimney and the red glow of the old Dixon’s Ironworks which used to be located just behind the cemetery.

Agricultural mechanization in the dry zone of Myanmar
This brief evaluates the extent of agricultural mechanization in four townships in Myanmar’s Dry Zone. It provides evidence that rapid mechanization is underway. Mechanical land preparation is now common-place, due to thriving machine rental markets, falling equip-ment prices, and better financing options. The mechanization of harvesting and threshing is also occurring but is concentrated in rice. These findings suggest that Dry Zone agriculture is at a technological crossroads.

Open Access Dissertation
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Leadership and Counseling
In his 2011 book The highly qualified teacher: What is teacher quality and how do we measure it? Strong argues that as a profession, education has struggled to measure teacher quality and therefore cannot provide a proven system to consistently develop high-quality teachers. In order to move toward an operational definition of teacher quality, Kennedy, in her 2008 journal article entitled “Contributions of qualitative research to research on teacher qualifications” suggests that the causal mechanisms of the development of teachers who are identified as high-quality teachers must be researched, documented, and then used in teacher preparation and development. Instructional ability is a key component of teacher effectiveness. This case study examines instructional transformations made by four teachers to explore why and how teachers make transformations in their teaching. The overarching conclusion of the study is the importance of student-centeredness as a component of teacher effectiveness.

Many parents, teachers, and therapists are familiar with the Visual Schedule. Most people use the icons from programs such as Boardmaker, actual photographs of items, or labels from items. These are routinely laminated, cut out, and attached to a laminated sheet or board with Velcro.
I wanted to share another option with you. I work with many children who have the capability to read, but still have a need for something to help them with transitions and anxiety. On a basic level, the above agenda is, indeed, a visual schedule. I write the activities on a piece of note paper, and as each one is completed, it is crossed off. Much like a To-Do list.
An added benefit to providing this type of Visual Schedule is having the child cross off each task as it is completed. I like to have them circle the task, then cross through it with horizontal lines. This incorporates Visual Motor skills and practice using a pencil/pen within a given boundary, while at the same time reinforcing the schedule.
All activities are completed and crossed through. The child knows that the therapy session is finished and that it is time to transition to something else.

Frequent readers of Health Tech Insider will know that I often bang the drum calling for more scientific evidence that wearables and other mobile health technology can actually produce the improved health outcomes and reduced costs that many of us (reasonably) expect from them. The good news is that the studies keep pouring in, and in almost all cases, the results are positive.
The latest exhibit in this string of successes is the announcement of results from two studies from Glooko, a company specializing in diabetes data management. The studies are “retrospective,” which means that they are based on an analysis of data that has already been collected rather than set up a new study and waiting to accumulate sufficient data. The studies examined the impact of Glooko’s smartphone app that is designed to help patients manage their diabetes.
The results showed that after two months of using the app, average blood glucose levels dropped by 3.54% compared with patients who were not using the app. The probability of experiencing an hyperglycemic event was reduced by 4.38% for the mobile app users. Perhaps the most telling result was that the app users increased their blood test rate between 16% and 35%; the increased testing was tied to lower average blood glucose levels.
While the studies spanned five years’ worth of data, they only looked at the results after two months of mobile app use. It’s possible that the novelty of the technology might have an influence on the results; it would be interesting to see whether the gains held up over a year or two. All the same, the studies do present additional encouraging evidence about the value of mobile health technology.

2020 Impact Award winner’s reporting prompts school board to move from discussion to action
Seniors Delaney Kidd and Annika Sisac report from campaign headquarters on Nov. 5, 2019. The Orange & Black student journalists were waiting for results on a local bond measure, which would fund a new Grand Junction High School. The bond measure failed.
The Journalism Education Association and Quill and Scroll International Honorary Society for High School Journalists have named the Orange & Black staff at Grand Junction (Colorado) High School as winner of the 2020 Student Journalist Impact Award. The staff is advised by Megan Fromm, Ph.D. and MJE.
The Orange & Black staff produced a 28-page special issue to alert the community about the dilapidated condition of Grand Junction High School. After obtaining a baseline structural report from the district through an open records request, students discovered that the building has an anticipated life-span of zero to five years. The foundation of the school is sinking, and needed repairs are too costly because of asbestos and old wiring. Old uranium mill tailings under the school give off varying levels of radiation.
The staff’s in-depth reporting exposed problems including mice and cockroach infestations in the building, and plumbing and heating/cooling systems antiquated to the point of being unable to be replaced. In their Impact award entry, they noted that any repairs are like putting Band-Aids on a major wound.
Grand Junction principal Meghan Roenicke wrote in her letter of support, “Our student journalists took it upon themselves to create awareness within our community regarding the condition of our building in an issue dedicated to shedding light on the condition of the soil, the environmental hazards contained within the building, and the safety concerns of having over 70 entrances and exits. Their diligence in investigating, revising and reporting the facts and concerns of students helped shape the political conversation of our entire community in the 2019 election.”
The Orange & Black staff reported that the building has the most non-secure entrances of any school in the district. The school of 1,400 students is located in the heart of the city and has seven buildings. They said that exterior doors often remain unlocked open and vulnerable to security breaches.
Roenicke said she was interviewed multiple times over eight weeks as the students investigated and produced the special issue. “The sense of pride and empowerment sparked by the recognition of not only our building conditions, but also our journalistic programming inspired staff and students alike. Students throughout our school staged a walkout to protest the conditions of our school, and staff became motivated to campaign for a new building.”
Superintendent Diana Sirko, Ph.D., said that the work of the student journalists described the condition of the 63-year-old school in such graphic and understandable detail that it inspired the Board of Education and a committee that had been assembled to study the issue to move from discussion to action.
“While we narrowly lost the election, any advances we made during the election can be traced back to the students’ descriptions,” Sirko wrote. She said that those descriptions are still remembered and quoted by many community members who are encouraging the district to go, again, for a new school.
Although the bond vote failed, steps have already been taken to address the concerns brought to light by the Orange & Black reporting.
“Since the original publication, the school board has approved an additional $2 million to improve the security and condition of our entrances and bathrooms,” Roenicke said. “While this is not the extent of the work that needs completed, we would not even have these improvements if not for the initiative of the students of the Orange & Black.”
Erin McIntyre, publisher of the Ouray County Plaindealer, also supported the staff’s entry. “It wasn’t until student journalists reported on the conditions of the school building that the school district — and the community — started the conversation over whether the school needed replacing,” McIntyre wrote. “In their reporting, students learned to ask for public records, to advocate for the release of information and consider the purpose of their reporting.”
McIntyre noted that the Daily Sentinel, the largest newspaper in western Colorado, elected to reprint two of the stories from the Orange & Black special issue, giving the student journalists a bigger audience.
“Those of us who worked at the Sentinel at the time, including myself, discussed whether it was better to reprint what they had already published or embark on our own project,” McIntyre wrote. “They had already done the work, and it was solid. Why not let the students who spend 40 hours a week in the building tell the story themselves?”
The editor’s note that accompanied the student work in the Sentinel read, “We hope you’re as impressed and enlightened by the work of these students as we are. If their work is any indication, the future of journalism is bright.”
The staff of the Orange & Black is the 22nd recipient of this award. The JEA Student Journalism Impact Award was created in 1993 to recognize a secondary school student or team of students who, through the study and practice of journalism, have made a significant difference in their own lives, the lives of others, the school they attend and/or the community in which they reside. The Impact Award recognizes student writing that brings issues to the forefront and from the walls of the high school to the world at large.
This is the second year JEA and Quill and Scroll have teamed up to judge entries and present the award.
“The students at Grand Junction performed that most valuable of journalistic functions: They identified a problem, thoroughly researched how it came to be, presented the information in easily digestible, but clearly understood, forms, and spurred a community to act on and improve the situation,” Quill and Scroll Executive Director Jeff Browne, MJE, said, “And even though the voters of Mesa County eventually failed the students at GJHS, the effect of the stories remains, and the community the students empowered remains committed to improving the education of their children and peers. Bravo to Dr. Fromm and the journalists of the Orange & Black.”
The award will be presented April 16, which would have been the opening day of the JEA/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. The convention was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Founded in 1924, JEA supports free and responsible scholastic journalism by providing resources and educational opportunities, by promoting professionalism, by encouraging and rewarding student excellence and teacher achievement, and by fostering an atmosphere which encompasses diversity yet builds unity. It is headquartered at Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas.
Quill and Scroll, founded in 1926, encourages, supports and recognizes individual student initiative and achievement in scholastic journalism, regardless of the medium. It is headquartered at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa.

Drug addiction is an ugly demon. To anyone who doesn't understand the 'dis-ease' of this cruel infliction it may look like a weakness of will and a lack of spiritual connection. I call bullshit as I sit here grateful beyond words that I still have my life intact this time.
I never lose contact with my higher power and I have the strongest will of anyone I know. These are not my problems.
The disease of addiction is cunning, baffling and powerful. I have named my disease Lady Vixen. I have done this to lesson my own fear over the sheer force that this disease has over me when it comes out of remission. When lady Vixen is in the driver seat... my life goes to hell in a pretty little Coach handbag.
I am just opening that handbag today to start cleaning out the remnants of another fine relapse.
I am Not ready to look at the bank account that I have recently drained after a year of working hard at building stability and security through tax free savings account, rrsps and busting out a new credit card. I have to put that one aside for today the pain is too great to face today.
I have already dealt with my boss first thing this morning. It could not wait. I need some time off to get myself unexhasuted spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. i need time to line up treatment and put Lady Vixen back in her cage. I tried to do it myself and well, that didnt work out so well. I am sad that she is stronger then me.
I am starting the amends process to my support group that has been nothing but amazing through my last year of judgmental blog posts and separation from a program that loves and supports me and has helped me get my life back several times over the course of four years.
My records while in detox this second time confirmed the first time I was there was 2010. I have truly been on the recovery journey for four years now. That was hiding in a secret pocket of my little coach bag.... rotten little tidbit of information as I sit here with only six days clean.
Today i will tackle cleaning my house. The chaos left behind by a self centered Vixen must be erased from my sight, this is where I spin, I know from experience... fucking, lots of it apparently.
Lets pray I got all of her little stashes before crashing into detox last week. Lest I find one in six months time on a bad day.
Its not all bad I have found in my handbag however. I have an amazing support team at work who have not reprimanded me as they understand my bank account is all the punishment i need on top of the suffering I feel at the hands of a disease thats trying to choke me out every chance she gets.
I have the most amazing, omg, so amazing. I have no words to even come close to describing the women in the program who have rushed in and with open arms caught my fall before shattering into a million pieces on the ground. To have women not wait for me to ask after I showed a need was almost too much for my heart to bear in those final hours before entering detox. To anticipate what i needed before I even knew it myself is the therapeutic value of one addict helping another.
This relapse has also imparted a huge sparkling crystal of a lesson. I am an addict. I am finally in full acceptance that I am a special breed of a person that has a disease that there is no known cure for. Like cancer I can only guess how it came about, but even after dealing with my trauma's and emotional imbalances I must always remain vigilant with treatment lest it comes back to wreak more havoc on my life.
I used to think that if i was not focused on it that it would just fade into the back ground of my reality and i would create something different. I believed I could fully recover from this disease. Those beliefs can and will only manifest themselves through treatment and re patterning of my thoughts. Positive visualization and creative manifestation are not enough when underneath there is still a seething addict that wants me dead so the pain will stop.
A six week stint in a treatment center to let the pain out is the clearest path at the moment. Maybe the second time around I will let go of the fear and walk into the past back to my future.

In November, the Exertis print business had its best ever month, following two and a half years of investment in infrastructure, services and personnel. James Goulding finds out more about the distributor’s evolving print proposition from general manager Jamie Brothwell
November 2016 was a record month for the Exertis print business. But it was no flash in the pan. In the two and a half years since Jamie Brothwell, previously head of channel sales at Samsung, was appointed general manager of the distributor’s print business, Exertis has been quietly transforming its print proposition.
Last year was when it all came together. In a print market that shrank by -5%, Exertis succeeded in increasing sales by 38%, with sales of its top four brands growing by between 24% and 120%. What’s more, it enjoyed growth across the board – in retail (up 27%), in B2B (up 62%) and in Office Automation (up 806%).
“This was the third year of our project,” said Brothwell. “Year 1 was getting things straight; Year 2 was consolidation and steady growth; and Year 3 was the time when we made the investment in people and structure – and now we’re seeing the results.”
Exertis is part of DCC, an Ireland-based investment company. Sitting in 67th place on the FTSE 100, DCC specialises in distribution businesses across diverse industries, including oil and gas, healthcare and technology.
As DCC’s technology distributor, Exertis focuses on four main areas – IT (including print), mobile, home and supplies. Its operations are still mainly UK-based, but its long-term goal is to be the number one technology distributor in Europe.
To this end, it recently acquired two more businesses – enterprise and storage distributor Hammer and specialist AV distributor Medium – and has its sights set on an additional 20 plus acquisition targets.
Exertis is not relying solely on acquisitions for growth; it is also investing significantly in systems, infrastructure and existing operations to drive organic growth, including a state-of-the-art, 450,000 square foot national distribution centre in Burnley Bridge, which opened in January.
Exertis acts as distributor for nine printer brands, of which it is the UK’s number one distributor for seven, and four scanner brands. It also distributes four brands of 3D printer, though this side of the business is managed via the company’s supplies business.
“We acquired the Advent Data supplies business in the mid-2000s. Effectively Advent Data provide the supplies and we focus on print hardware. Moving forward, we’re collaborating a lot closer so that we bring a united proposition to the reseller channel,” explained Brothwell.
The Exertis printer business addresses three markets: B2B (sales of transactional print from all nine brands to resellers); Retail (sales of Brother, Samsung and Epson printers to retail customers); and Office Automation (sales of managed print services to OA dealers, including Samsung’s OA proposition, Lexmark’s BSD proposition and OKI’s ES proposition).
Currently, revenue is split roughly 50:50 between Retail and B2B/OA.
The print business operates from Basingstoke (commercial operations, retail and southern B2B sales teams); Altham (finance, customer services and the northern B2B sales team); Norfolk (set up last year to specialise in MPS and document management for OA dealers, also soon to be responsible for large format printers); Elland (supplies); and the new distribution centre at Burnley Bridge, which will also accommodate a printer/scanner showroom where resellers, dealers and end user customers based in the North can view the latest products and technologies.
Brothwell says that whilst Exertis operates across the technology spectrum, each product area is run individually, a strategy that encourages specialism in specific technology areas.
“In print & scan we own the P&L and we own the strategy. This approach means that Exertis is a specialist in many technologies, rather than just a broadline distributor,” she explained.
As evidence of the company’s indepth knowledge of the printer industry, you need look no further than the print division’s management team of Brothwell (strategy), Alistair Coyne (commercial), Carla Allen (retail), Theresa Downes (office automation) and Lynn Shonpal (large format printers).
“Between us, we have 65 years’ experience in selling into the print marketplace, which in our opinion is unrivalled,” said Brothwell.
Exertis’s in-house printer specialists are backed up by vendor-trained sales people from Epson, Samsung, OKI, Brother and Ricoh. They sit on the Exertis sales ?oor and, as well as supporting Exertis sales people, can help resellers develop sales opportunities and tender responses.
“We have outperformed the market by bringing experience into the business; by understanding different channels, such as office automation; by building a service proposition that, in my opinion, is best in class; and by focusing on print. We don’t believe there are many other distributors focused on print at the moment,” said Brothwell.
Among the added value services it now provides to its customers are virtual warehousing and next day delivery, so resellers don’t have to hold stock; product configuration in the warehouse, saving dealers the time and expense of doing it themselves; deliveries direct to the end customer site (down to a specific floor); packaging disposal; marketing and telemarketing services to help customers with business generation; flexible payment terms; and credit insurance via an exclusive agreement with Chubb.
“Our competitors tend to use Euler, we use Chubb. If two competitors both insure with Euler, they’re effectively sharing one credit limit. Through our agreement with Chubb we are bringing a completely new line of credit to the marketplace that was not previously available, and that’s been hugely beneficial to the dealer channel,” explained Brothwell.
Arguably, nothing highlights Exertis’s determination to be the UK’s number 1 choice for printer distribution more clearly than the development of a managed print specialism for the OA channel, which not only broadens and strengthens its print offering, but demonstrates the company’s indepth knowledge of the UK printer market.
Brothwell says that treating print as more of a specialist sale and developing its proposition accordingly has already had a big impact on Exertis’s business and is transforming the way vendors and OA dealers view the distribution channel.
“When Samsung and Lexmark entered this space in 2008, it was a very difficult sell to go to the dealer channel and say ‘deal with distribution’. They would say ‘I don’t deal with distribution, I deal direct; I like to deal with the manufacturer’. Now, we are seeing a reversal of that. Customers have told me that they are telling vendors that fulfil that they would like to deal with distribution because of the benefits we offer. That’s a huge change we have seen in the last eight years.”
Brothwell is confident that, as a result, a number of vendors will consider moving their copier channel fulfilment business to distribution.
“My prediction is that over the course of the next five years, we will see more migration to distribution. The print market is becoming more competitive, margins are being trimmed, the average selling price is falling, so everybody needs to look at their cost of business. We are geared up to ship one box to a customer (or to site), the next day and in the configuration they want. Whilst a manufacturer is capable of doing this, it’s not what they are primarily good at. We’ve had conversations with leading brands in the copier marketplace and they are now looking at distribution. I think the brands that are entering that space and seeing huge growth, such as Samsung and Lexmark, have proved that it works.”
IT resellers’ increasingly arm’s length relationship with printers is influencing the service that distributors provide in other interesting ways, including the need to be more proactive in demand generation.
“The reseller channel nowadays does not touch product and because they don’t stock products, they don’t necessarily have ‘stock pressure’, so it’s up to us to work with the IT reseller to deliver compelling selling messages to the end user, to make their phones ring. If a reseller’s got three or four distributors vying for its business, offering the best price on a feed that they can ship the next day, we need to do more than just put a price on a feed,” explained Brothwell.
“That’s why do all the things we do, like having sales specialists to support customers; dedicated account managers who understand print; marketing and telemarketing services; virtual warehousing; next day delivery; configuration of product; installation. When you start to paint a picture of what we do, it’s a very compelling story.”
Brothwell added: “We want to get to a stage where we don’t talk to our customers about price, but talk to them about the service that we can offer them and the total proposition.”
There are a number of bumps in the road ahead for Exertis, notably the fall-out from HP’s acquisition of the Samsung printer business – Exertis is not an HP print distributor and Samsung is its largest client, so any changes could be disruptive. However, Brothwell is confident that Exertis can maintain its upward trajectory in print.
“All our brands are doing well and we are seeing growth across the board – in print and in scan; in retail and IT; and in OA – and that’s because we’ve got a good structure, good people, a good brand and a great company that’s investing in what we’re doing and that believes in us and backs us,” she said.

By Gustavo A. Ramirez, Guidance Counselor / Education Consultant / belizeguidance.blogspot.com
“If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.”
What constitutes effective discipline? Why should we raise our children subject to some form of discipline? How do we properly enforce discipline everyday in our homes and schools? If we do not continuously discipline young people how will they comprehend that there are always consequences to any bad choices they make? We cannot address these questions comprehensively in just one article; however, we can discuss what discipline is about vs. what it is not. Most parents and teachers think of discipline as the system of (self) control that we use to bring out the best behaviour in children and in ourselves. Schools focus on discipline mostly as a system to prevent and/or cope with students’ behaviour problems. However, no matter which definition we use, I feel strongly that we should not consider discipline to be merely a system of punishment for adults or children, or have punishment be its major purpose.
Unlike half a century ago, and before Belize became an Independent country in 1981, today we are an increasingly multicultural and multiclass society with ever-growing and changing needs. The largest and most notable change throughout our jewel today is that now we are very much part of a digital and global society in a fast-advancing Age of Technology. Consequently, to the dismay of many (older) adults and schools, and very unlike the past, there can no longer be a simple approach to raising children and providing them with effective discipline at home and in school. Nonetheless, despite whichever age we live in, if we want to raise and teach our children effectively and responsibly, we cannot ignore their unwanted or unacceptable behaviours. From the time our children start to creep we should start administering some form of discipline to them in order to introduce and keep structure and order in their lives. Adults who provide no form whatsoever of discipline to children only increase and multiply the chaos and frustration that already exist in every home and classroom throughout society.
As young Belizeans struggle to develop from infants into mature adults, one of their very important daily needs is for adults (society) to guide and monitor their healthy physical and emotional growth. We can effectively nourish their emotional growth by providing and exposing them, from a very early age, to some form of structure in their lives, and by spending quality time with them. We provide discipline and structure simply by setting clear limits and expectations for them, not by continuously overindulging them with food and material things, or giving them every new technical invention/gadget sold for entertainment. On the other hand, if we ignore our children’s daily behaviour, whether good or bad, or constantly overindulge them as if to make up for ignoring them or not spending quality time with them, we add to and multiply the existing chaos in which we live today. A harmful extreme that some adults choose is assuming that they have the right/duty to punish and humiliate children/students in the name of discipline. Adults who do this, not only stunt children’s emotional growth, but also risk losing control of themselves. Humiliated children, and the adults who administer harsh punishments/humiliation, will end up feeling helpless and frustrated.
Parents and teachers/educators share one very important thing in common, even though many times they are each others’ worse critics: they discipline and guide children/students toward healthy emotional growth. On one side, some adults (many from the older generation) insist that only the “spare the rod and spoil the child” philosophy or corporal punishment works when it comes to disciplining and correctly raising children. However, when put into practice whether at home or in schools this form of discipline can at times become extreme, repressive, cruel, and abusive or violent. On the other side, some of today’s more academically educated adults, especially new parents, prefer a more psychology-backed “timeout and share feelings” version of how to discipline young people. In between both widely-differing extremes there are hundreds of other alternatives and guides offered to parents and teachers on “the right way to discipline young people”. Is there, though, a right or wrong way to discipline our children and set a foundation for their healthy emotional growth in this rapidly-changing global and digital world?
There are countless resources available today on “discipline”: hundreds of books have been and continue to be written on discipline based on various (scientific) studies of young peoples’ behaviours; dozens of interactive “how to” websites exist to promote forms of discipline that work at home and in school vs. those that do not; hundreds of seminars and workshops of all lengths and prices are offered by professional speakers to parents and educators on the subject of effective discipline and how to use it with/on our children. With so many differing options and opinions available, how do parents and educators/teachers reach a consensus on what discipline really is about, or how best to enforce it to raise better-behaved children?
No matter which resource we (parent or teacher) choose, let’s make every effort to set a strong foundation of good behaviour in our children and in our families. How? Let’s try to teach them (our) values, and show them from an early age how to positively express their feelings instead of whining or throwing tantrums. Very importantly, let’s make every effort to ensure that our children always feel safe, physically and emotionally, both at home and in school. There may be times when we are unable to eliminate their bothersome behaviours. However, the solution is not to keep changing methods of disciplining children/students or keep trying alternate methods offered in the most-recently-published book or study. Rather, from a child’s earliest age, let’s focus on trying to prevent behaviour problems, i.e. stealing, lying, cheating, talking back, bullying from ever surfacing. How? Let’s start by accepting them, from day 1, for who they are not only for who we/others may want them to be or become. Let’s respect and support each child’s/student’s integrity by trying to help him/her build a strong sense of purpose and self-esteem.
Finally, let’s try to deal with behaviour problems that may exist in our children or students in a practical and constructive/positive way, not in a purely punitive way. After all, the very purpose of effective discipline is to nurture, not weaken, a healthy sense of one’s self-esteem and emotional development. We should use various forms of discipline to strengthen, not weaken, our bodies and souls.
These articles are not intended to be comprehensive or complete. They do not offer simple answers to complex problems. Rather, they are written and contributed in an effort to provide a “starting point” for valuable discussion amongst educators, students, parents, and the community. These articles are written to encourage readers to discuss and review students’ learning capabilities and the many ways in which we currently try to educate them, at home and in school. We can learn from our mistakes as well as success. Way to go, parents and fellow educators!

Kentucky becomes the first state to win approval from the Trump administration requiring many of its Medicaid recipients to work to get coverage.
The change means people between the ages of 19 and 64 must complete 80 hours per month of “community engagement” to keep their benefits.
That includes getting a job, going to school, taking a job training course and community service.
Governor Bevin says the plan will save state taxpayers more than $300 million over the next five years. He also estimates about 95-thousand people will lose their coverage either by not complying or by losing eligibility.

Those Are Abbie Cornish’s Nipples
Everyone enjoy Thor’s muscles rippling through his shirt, almost as if they’re calling your name to cover them in delicious cinnamon and papas fritas? Perfect. Now back to boobs. Here’s Abbie Cornish wearing a see-through dress to the Hollywood premiere of RoboCop last night. Which you’d assume wouldn’t warrant a whole post because who the fuck’s Abbie Cornish? But then you’d be forgetting that I somehow get paid to sit here playing “Nipple, Nipple, Where’s The Nipple?” I think my real dad’s the devil.

Erik Camayd-Freixas, a professor and legal interpreter in the case, who worked closely with the immigrants during their "processing," has decided to speak about the case at length and in detail about both the personal stories and the legal maneuvering on the part of the federal government.
His letter, originally circulated to other legal interpreters, can now be found here. You must read it. Why? Because, hopefully, you're humane.
Camayd-Freixas describes the setting,
...a 60-acre cattle fairground that had been transformed into a sort of concentration camp or detention center. Fenced in behind the ballroom / courtroom were 23 trailers from federal authorities, including two set up as sentencing courts; various Homeland Security buses and an “incident response” truck; scores of ICE agents and U.S. Marshals; and in the background two large buildings: a pavilion where agents and prosecutors had established a command center; and a gymnasium filled with tight rows of cots where some 300 male detainees were kept, the women being housed in county jails...In the meantime (echoing the problem I noted earlier):
...Driven single-file in groups of 10, shackled at the wrists, waist and ankles, chains dragging as they shuffled through, the slaughterhouse workers were brought in for arraignment, sat and listened through headsets to the interpreted initial appearance, before marching out again to be bused to different county jails, only to make room for the next row of 10. They appeared to be uniformly no more than 5 ft. tall, mostly illiterate Guatemalan peasants with Mayan last names, some being relatives (various Tajtaj, Xicay, Sajché, Sologüí…), some in tears; others with faces of worry, fear, and embarrassment. They all spoke Spanish, a few rather laboriously. It dawned on me that, aside from their nationality, which was imposed on their people in the 19th century, they too were Native Americans, in shackles. They stood out in stark racial contrast with the rest of us as they started their slow penguin march across the makeshift court... They had all waived their right to be indicted by a grand jury and accepted instead an information or simple charging document by the U.S. Attorney, hoping to be quickly deported since they had families to support back home. But it was not to be. They were criminally charged with “aggravated identity theft” and “Social Security fraud” —charges they did not understand… and, frankly, neither could I.
Postville, Iowa (pop. 2,273), where nearly half the people worked at Agriprocessors, had lost 1/3 of its population by Tuesday morning. Businesses were empty, amid looming concerns that if the plant closed it would become a ghost town. Beside those arrested, many had fled the town in fear. Several families had taken refuge at St. Bridget’s Catholic Church, terrified, sleeping on pews and refusing to leave for days. Volunteers from the community served food and organized activities for the children. At the local high school, only three of the 15 Latino students came back on Tuesday, while at the elementary and middle school, 120 of the 363 children were absent. In the following days the principal went around town on the school bus and gathered 70 students after convincing the parents to let them come back to school; 50 remained unaccounted for. Some American parents complained that their children were traumatized by the sudden disappearance of so many of their school friends. The principal reported the same reaction in the classrooms, saying that for the children it was as if ten of their classmates had suddenly died. Counselors were brought in. American children were having nightmares that their parents too were being taken away. The superintendant said the school district’s future was unclear: “This literally blew our town away.” In some cases both parents were picked up and small children were left behind for up to 72 hours. Typically, the mother would be released “on humanitarian grounds” with an ankle GPS monitor, pending prosecution and deportation, while the husband took first turn in serving his prison sentence. Meanwhile the mother would have no income and could not work to provide for her children. Some of the children were born in the U.S. and are American citizens. Sometimes one parent was a deportable alien while the other was not. “Hundreds of families were torn apart by this raid,” said a Catholic nun. “The humanitarian impact of this raid is obvious to anyone in Postville. The economic impact will soon be evident.”Apart from humaneness, you might also worry about what the excess bloat in the monstrous anti-terrorism bureaucracy - i.e., Homeland Security - now does to fulfill its mission and fill its quotas. I'm a believer in sound government run by competent people and driven by concerns for solving real problems and for the well-being of the people who ostensibly endow it with its existence and legitimacy. But like any expanding bureaucracy driven at its originating core by fear and suspicion, we may now have a government more involved in creating its own enemies - from Iraq to Iowa - than battling real ones.
But this was only the surface damage. Alongside the many courageous actions and expressions of humanitarian concern in the true American spirit, the news blogs were filled with snide remarks of racial prejudice and bigotry, poorly disguised beneath an empty rhetoric of misguided patriotism, not to mention the insults to anyone who publicly showed compassion, safely hurled from behind a cowardly online nickname. One could feel the moral fabric of society coming apart beneath it all.
It is no secret that the Postville ICE raid was a pilot operation, to be replicated elsewhere, with kinks ironed out after lessons learned. Next time, “fast-tracking” will be even more relentless. Never before has illegal immigration been criminalized in this fashion. It is no longer enough to deport them: we first have to put them in chains. At first sight it may seem absurd to take productive workers and keep them in jail at taxpayers’ expense. But the economics and politics of the matter are quite different from such rational assumptions. A quick look at the ICE Fiscal Year 2007 Annual Report (www.ice.gov) shows an agency that has grown to 16,500 employees and a $5 billion annual budget, since it was formed under Homeland Security in March 2003, “as a law enforcement agency for the post-9/11 era, to integrate enforcement authorities against criminal and terrorist activities, including the fights against human trafficking and smuggling, violent transnational gangs and sexual predators who prey on children” (17). No doubt, ICE fulfills an extremely important and noble duty. The question is why tarnish its stellar reputation by targeting harmless illegal workers. The answer is economics and politics. After 9/11 we had to create a massive force with readiness “to prevent, prepare for and respond to a wide range of catastrophic incidents, including terrorist attacks, natural disasters, pandemics and other such significant events that require large-scale government and law enforcement response” (23). The problem is that disasters, criminality, and terrorism do not provide enough daily business to maintain the readiness and muscle tone of this expensive force. For example, “In FY07, ICE human trafficking investigations resulted in 164 arrests and 91 convictions” (17). Terrorism related arrests were not any more substantial. The real numbers are in immigration: “In FY07, ICE removed 276,912 illegal aliens” (4). ICE is under enormous pressure to turn out statistical figures that might justify a fair utilization of its capabilities, resources, and ballooning budget. For example, the Report boasts 102,777 cases “eliminated” from the fugitive alien population in FY07, “quadrupling” the previous year’s number, only to admit a page later that 73,284 were “resolved” by simply “taking those cases off the books” after determining that they “no longer met the definition of an ICE fugitive” (4-5).
De facto, the rationale is: we have the excess capability; we are already paying for it; ergo, use it we must... why focus on illegal workers who pose no threat? Elementary: they are easy pickings. True criminal and fugitive aliens have to be picked up one at a time, whereas raiding a slaughterhouse is like hitting a small jackpot: it beefs up the numbers...
Simply put, the criminalization of illegal workers is just a cheap way of boosting ICE “criminal alien” arrest statistics. But after Postville, it is no longer a matter of clever paperwork and creative accounting: this time around 130 man-years of prison time were handed down pursuant to a bogus charge...
This massive buildup for the New Era is the outward manifestation of an internal shift in the operational imperatives of the Long War, away from the “war on terror” (which has yielded lean statistics) and onto another front where we can claim success: the escalating undeclared war on illegal immigration. “Had this effort been in place prior to 9/11, all of the hijackers who failed to maintain status would have been investigated months before the attack” (9). According to its new paradigm, the agency fancies that it can conflate the diverse aspects of its operations and pretend that immigration enforcement is really part and parcel of the “war on terror.” This way, statistics in the former translate as evidence of success in the latter. Thus, the Postville charges—document fraud and identity theft—treat every illegal alien as a potential terrorist, and with the same rigor. At sentencing, as I interpreted, there was one condition of probation that was entirely new to me: “You shall not be in possession of an explosive artifact.” The Guatemalan peasants in shackles looked at each other, perplexed.
