The Jump Start WordPress theme, itself, and any other products sold on wpjumpstart.com are licensed under the GNU general public license.
Theme Blvd offers these products “as is,” with no implied meaning that they will function exactly as you wish or with all third-party components and plugins.

Only the license holder can receive customer support. This means we will only communicate with the email address used to make the purchase. — If you need us to change the email address associated with your purchase at any point, we’d be happy to do that.
Support includes help with end-user features and functionality unique to our themes, beyond that of WordPress.
Before contacting support, please make sure you’ve searched for an answer to your question at docs.themeblvd.com. We spend a lot of time writing documentation, answering frequently asked questions, and making video tutorials.
We do NOT provide you with free code customizations, and we are NOT responsible for teaching you general WordPress and web development. With that said, we understand that everyone are at different levels, and will do our best to point you in the right direction and reference articles from dev.themeblvd.com and other online resources we’re aware of.

Our products support the latest version of all modern web browsers including (but not limited to) Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

In the case of a browser not supporting certain web standards, we will include a generic workaround for that browser, which will degrade a specific function / feature gradually and in a way that doesn’t affect the user experience negatively.

A father was reading a magazine and his little daughter every now and then distracted him. Trying to keep her busy, he tore out one page on which was printed the map of the world. He then tore the page into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again.

CoolKit expands by 60% aiming to 'Sell more with the Marque'.
Made in Britain member CoolKit announces expansion by a further 60 per cent. Burnley-based refrigeration specialist has expanded its manufacturing facilities - the second time in less than two years that the growing company has expanded its footprint. The latest deal has seen them secure new premises comprising of 25,000 square feet of industrial premises located on a high security site of 1.5 acres. This is in addition to their existing premises of 45,000 square feet on 2.5 acres. The new premises, close to their existing manufacturing facilities, will allow for expansion of van storage, displaying converted van stock, growth in production capacity, elimination of un-necessary vehicle logistics and overhead expenses.
CoolKit has seen tremendous growth in recent years. In 2016, the manufacturing company’s revenues grew by 46 per cent, reaching £10million for the first time since it was established in 2005. The growth continues a remarkable run of six consecutive years of year-on-year revenue growth of nearly 40 per cent each year.
CoolKit also saw an incredible employment boost in 2016, with the number of staff growing to 75 full time positions – a growth of 54 per cent – and it is hoped that more jobs will be created as a result of the latest purchase.
The UK-based manufacturing operation can currently host up to 30 fridge van conversions at any one time, allowing the company to meet the high demands in the market for superior quality and reliable refrigerated vehicles. The news follows a successful year for CoolKit – who have recently received the ATP accreditation from the Department of Transport, received the Made in Britain accreditation, developed and launched new products, and have been named as partners with Toyota, Renault and Volkswagen. CoolKit worked with Forbes Solicitors, who worked tirelessly to expedite the transaction.
About CoolKit Established in 2005, Burnley-based CoolKit is one of the UKs leading manufacturers of fridge van conversions. The innovative company uses its own bespoke insulated lining kits to create a superior quality and effective refrigerated vehicle.
With over 6,000 conversions completed over the last 11 years, CoolKit has specific knowledge of fridge van requirements in many market sectors including food and drink, pet food, pharmaceuticals, floristry and catering, creating bespoke solutions to match customer requirements exactly.

Getting a cold sure can be stressful, as it can keep you from doing the things you normally do every day. For many people, especially the extremely busy ones, getting a cold is not an option and should be stopped in its tracks as soon as you feel it coming.
Comvita Australia shares a couple of tips to make sure you do not get sick anytime soon.
The number one tip you should follow is to drink lots of fluids, especially water. This will help flush out the toxins inside your body, helping you fight cold viruses.
This will also help your body recover and replace all of the fluids that you lose when you sweat and blow your nose. Drinking plenty of water will also help loosen the mucus at the back of your throat.
Your body needs to heal and be rejuvenated, which is why it’s important to eat the right types of food if you feel like you are going to be sick. Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet is key to a stronger immune system, so you should always watch what you eat to prevent getting colds in the first place. Always incorporate some green and leafy vegetables, fruits, and lean meat in your diet to keep it well-balanced.
Get some rest and let your body heal to prevent the cold from coming in and getting worse. You should also try taking some supplements, such as Ascorbic Acid and Olive Leaf Extract to boost your immune system. Ask your doctor what type of supplement would be best for you.
Fighting cold viruses can be easier if you know exactly what to do. Take good care of your body and be sure to follow your doctor’s advice when it comes to boosting your immune system.

how to retrieve contacts from phone with non functional touchscreen?
Sorry to hear your dilemma.
Usually - MOST solutions require the phone to be rooted or atleast have USB debugging mode enabled - from the developer options.
1. Option 1 - Install KIES on your PC - restart PC and then connect the phone to the PC. Backing up the contacts or even exporting them should be a breeze.
2. Option 2 - Using USB OTG - just connect a regular USB mouse. And you will be able to navigate across the screen. Believe me - it works !
Once you can do that - I strongly recommend - that the 1st thing you do is SYNC with Google. Because then you can access it anywhere and fiddle around with it all you like.
Feel free to post back in case you get stuck somewhere.

As summer approaches, many children will find themselves at home while their parents are at work. Parents reports that one out of every 25 children in kindergarten through fifth grade find themselves home alone after school. When school is let out for the summer, even more children will likely be home alone for at least a little while. If your children will be home while you're at work this summer, a smart surveillance system could help you parent them remotely. Here's how.
Of course, these short appointments are also a great opportunity to remind your kids how much they mean to you.
Some smart surveillance systems can also integrate with other smart devices, which can make it easy to ensure your kids are comfortable when they're home. Through some systems, you can adjust the thermostat so that the air conditioning turns on when they're home and off when they head out.
Some systems also let you turn lights on and off. With this particular feature, you can make your home welcoming when your children come home by turning lights on just before they actually get to your house. You can also make sure you aren't wasting electricity by turning off any lights that they forget to turn off prior to leaving your house.
While you could use pre-programmed thermostats and light timers to adjust the temperature and lighting of your home, these solutions don't let you make on-the-fly adjustments if your kids' schedules change (which they often do during the unstructured days of summer). With a smart surveillance system, you can easily make changes to the thermostat's and lights' settings each time your children alter their plans.
If you've been thinking about getting a home surveillance system or upgrading your current one to a smart one, invest in a smart home surveillance system before summer begins. They'll help you keep your children safe, parent them and ensure their comfortable while you're at work. Systems can often be installed quickly, so you can likely still get one put in before the first day of summer vacation beings. To schedule an installation, contact a smart surveillance system provider in your area, such as Top Security Locksmiths.

Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on an Ubuntu 15.04 server with PHP support (through PHP-FPM) and MySQL. PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites. I use PHP-FPM in this tutorial instead of Lighttpd's spawn-fcgi.
In this tutorial I use the hostname server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.1.100. These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.
Ubuntu provides packages for the Origina MySQL database server (MySQL 5.6) and the MySQL fork MariaDB (10). Most users will use MariaDB today as it shall be a bit faster rhen MySQL and the development is progressing faster. I let the decision what to install to you here and will explain both options. Follow either the instructions in 2.1 or 2.2 but not both.
Installing Lighttpd with PHP (PHP-FPM mode) and MySQL or MariaDB on Ubuntu 15.04 as OVF / OVA virtual machine image download compatible with VMWare and Virtualbox.

One attraction holiday shoppers might notice at the mall this year is not a photo op with Santa, but instead, with tiger cubs.
At malls across the U.S. shoppers can pay a fee to have their photos taken with baby tigers and even play with them in their pens.
But Lisa Guerrero and the INSIDE EDITION I-Squad discovered that shoppers might be surprised to learn where these tigers come.
We took our cameras to one such tiger exhibit at the Northgate Mall in Cincinnati, Ohio.
For $55 shoppers got their pictures taken with a cub and played with the babies in a pen. But the eight-week-old cub Guerrero petted and posed with was obviously sick and barely moved during our visit.
"Why do you think he's sick?" Guerrero asked an employee at the exhibit.
"I don't know. Maybe he's just tired or stressed," she said.
Another cub on display was missing a patch of fur and appeared distressed while posing in photos.
An employee told us he got scratched up by one of the older tigers just the day before.
"There was blood everywhere," he said. "It was just a total, total mess."
INSIDE EDITION showed our video to Adam Roberts from the national animal welfare group Born Free USA.
"There is no excuse for bringing tiger cubs to malls," Roberts said.
He says these traveling tiger shows exploit the tigers and endanger the public.
"Anybody that is putting them in close contact with the public is creating a recipe for disaster," Roberts said.
Roberts said he is particularly disturbed by where these cubs often end up when they're too old for pictures—caged and kept as pets in backyards.
There are actually more tigers living in Americans' backyards than there are left in the wild, according to the World Wildlife Fund, a non-profit animal welfare group.
So where do these cubs come from? They're part of a traveling exotic animal exhibit that hails from a roadside zoo in Oklahoma.
Joe Schreibvogel is president of the G.W. Exotic Animal Foundation, the non-profit that operates the traveling tiger exhibit in the mall we visited. Many of the cubs used in the exhibit were born in captivity at his park in Oklahoma, a roadside zoo that is home to over 200 tigers.
But Schreibvogel's park has had problems in the past. He denied any wrongdoing but paid $25,000 for repeated animal welfare violations in 2006 and is currently under investigation by the USDA for the unexplained deaths of 23 tiger cubs at his park.
In an interview with Guerrero he again denied any wrongdoing.
"How did 23 of your tigers die?" Guerrero asked.
"You had to pay $25,000 in fines. You've had 23 tigers die. Are you a responsible owner of tigers?" asked Guerrero.
"I say I'm damn responsible," replied Schreibvogel.
Schreibvogel says he takes good care of his tigers and displays them for educational purposes.

Since 2007 Trinity International Autism Foundation - UG has a big number of projects that are being carried on and many others that have been done.
Bellow are some of the projects.
We have for time been trying our best to identify children affected by autism in Uganda and we visit many families, Register them, Counsel the parents and the children, and if we can we shelter some of them.
On a sad Note the biggest number of familes with children affected by autism in Uganda lie under the greatest poverty to even afford a nutritiaus meal a day, Many have one meal a day and others eat very poorly, However under this program we identify families that are mostly in need and we for once provide food unto them. But this is a demanding program that we cant manage by our selves and need assistance.
Some of the children we are supporting are left in compounds some times in the sun or rain for a day with out the care of the guardians of what they are to feed on. Others are deliberately denied food to eat because the parents feel its a waste baring an autistic child.
Many of these children are the ones we support in this program, when we have the food to go out and provide to them.
Like Andrew Above, We found him alone at home, the Mother of 63 years away to go work for other people as a causual labour to raise what she and him can feed on yet he oftenly gets sick yet they cant afford taking him for the neccessary medication. Its our appeal you join us to support such children.
Julius urbandoned by the parents to his Aunt of 50 years that too openely told us if we can take julius we can have him but could not afford to support him at all with any feeding, clothing nor medical support after the parents urbandoned him to her. She too locks him outside the house and goes to raise some work to support her own normal children's needs. we found julius in the nearby bush sheltering himself from the sun. He too is among the children we support.
Oliver after the death of his father, her mother was left with other 6 normal children, she has to work so hard to take care of but many times they go with out food at home, The mother is jobless and unless she is assisted, even herself, she has less care for her daughter. In a very dirty T. shirt we found olivia which she seemed to having had on for the past 1 month because it was smelling as you can see, Yet her mother is present but cares not at all.
Behold Ireen that was rejected from over 3 schools because she is Autistic and disabled. School officials would say she needs alot of special care that they dont have time for. Ireen's Bones break any time she falls down for they are like glass. Today she says at home with her mother helpless of what to do yet she would really love to be in school.
Below is a video that shows how she helps herself and moves and where they prepared for her to spend her free time.
Once more here is Kalumba Mustafa, In his autistic nature, 7 years old, has never even seen a black board, but want s to be in school though there no schools for children with disabilities like him, His hands cant tourch proper, he has retarded growth. Comes from a very poor family that stays in a slum.
Its my appeal to anyone that can donate to our foundation anything that can help us get back to support these children and more that are over 100 in the community outreach programs we have so that there is hope to these autistic families.
Here,Trinity international was able to start up an Educational Project since 2008 through which it has been able to Volunterly extend free Computer Educational to the Unprevilleged disadvantaged Orphaned Children and local community.
Since the project started, it has managed to register a big number of beneficiaries and atleast a number of 90 children have acquired computer education and got certified at the end of their examinations and tests in computer Managment.
More so besides the Trainning, we also managed to start up an Internet Cafe through which the local community is able to access communication with the globe through the same project.
Due to lack of support, we have not gone beyond this level because Computers break down and we havent enough funds to buy new ones nor enough money to pay for the elctricity bills nor internet bills hence we some times have to have the place closed.
Since we started projects in Uganda, We have registered over 180 children that are under different categories such as the Autistic, Orphans, Vulnerable and unprevilleged children that all do need education but cant afford to have it unless assisted. So we have a database of over 180 registered children that need sponsors so that they can make it in school.
Its through this that Trinity International is trying to uplift different children and individuals' Talents through Music Dance and Drama. Still under the same program we want to start up a Radio and Tv station where children and Adults views, Talents and other educational programs shall be broadcasted.
We are looking for the neccessary needs to see to it that the dental part of life of our communities is taken care of. many Autistic children and their families themselves are having many dental problems and really need help.

The methodology employed is based on non parametric statistics, allowing for the use of small sample sizes without impacting the high confidence intervals clients demand in their structured problem solving efforts. The TPS progressive convergence method will help to reduce the disruptions to plant operations that typical problem solving approaches generate and will save valuable engineering resources and time. TPS will provide an expert problem solver to work side by side with your resources to quickly develop and execute a strategy to converge on the root cause of your technical problem, confirm the root cause with statistical confidence, and apply countermeasures with proposed corrective actions. The statistics and sample sizes used for convergence are based on a 95% confidence interval. Confirmation testing can be performed at confidence levels higher than 95% when required. We will also provide support to leadership to ensure that the problem solving team is working effectively and efficiently. Most Statistical Engineering projects can be completed in less than 10 days and will consume less than 50 parts or final assemblies.

Regeneration, the process of regrowing missing tissues, is widespread in the animal kingdom. Following an injury, regenerative organisms activate molecular and cellular processes that lead to the formation of new tissues. Despite the importance of regeneration to human health and decades of regeneration research, fundamental questions remain open: Why do certain animals regenerate while other species cannot? Why can certain tissues (e.g., the liver) regrow, whereas other tissues have very limited healing potential?
We study these questions by using organisms that regenerate extremely quickly and robustly. We work extensively with planarians, flatworms that regrow any missing part of their bodies, including their brain, in less than a week.
Deciphering the regulation of pluripotency and stem cell differentiation in regeneration.
Studying the molecular implications of injuries and their association to regeneration.
Elucidating aspects of regeneration that are evolutionarily conserved in higher organisms.
Our scientific approaches include molecular biology, in vivo analysis and bioinformatics.

Our classes give inmates the experience of control and introspection through art, allowing them to engage in the world more confidently and authentically. Our project employs highly qualified volunteers to teach weekly creative arts classes in Austin and Dallas jails. Our program has inspired hundreds of inmates and officers, who have created anthologies, a jailhouse newsletter and creative writing contests.

Today I have a bit of a different post for you. I have an exclusive guest post interview / Q&A session with man-in-the-know, David Rhode from luxury jewellers Ingle and Rhode. David’s story began in 2006, when he was looking for an engagement ring but couldn’t find a jeweller who could tell him where their diamonds had come from, or the conditions under which their jewellery was produced. The more he looked into the industry, the more compromises he discovered he was being asked to make – from blood diamonds, to dirty gold, to sweatshops and child labour. Then in 2007 together David and his friend Tim Ingle launched Ingle & Rhode to offer an ethical alternative to the traditional luxury brands.
1. What are your favourite jewellery trends right now?
2. And what jewellery trends do you predict we’ll be seeing for AW15?
3. Which one jewellery item do you think everyone should have?
4. When choosing gemstones, what should I look for?
5. Which celebrities do you find inspirational in terms of the jewellery they wear?
Thanks so much to David for your answers! I think I need to get myself a cocktail ring now!
This is a collaboration post with Ingle & Rhode.

Buffalo Chicken Dip is my new favorite tailgating dip! It is creamy and delicious, with just a little bit of a kick. Great for dipping chips or veggies.
My husband found this recipe on food.com and wanted me to make it for him a few weeks ago. Of course, I had to make adjustments to my liking. This Game Day Buffalo Chicken Dip turned out WAY better than I thought it would. It is possibly my new favorite “Game Day” dip! It is creamy and delicious, with just a little bit of a kick.
My favorite is to dip celery sticks in it (as seen above).. it makes me feel like I am eating something somewhat healthy (even though, let’s be honest, this dip is FAR FROM healthy.. no matter what you dip into it).
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 9x13 glass baking pan, combine the cooked, shredded chicken meat with the entire bottle of Frank's, spreading to form an even layer.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese and entire bottle of Ranch (or Blue cheese) dressing, stirring til hot and smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over chicken mixture.
Bake for 25 min. Add shredded cheese and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes. Top with optional blue cheese crumbles.
Serve with celery sticks, Triscuits, or sturdy chips (regular tortilla chips will break apart).
YES! We make this at our house too and it is soooo delicious. I think I like it better cold, actually!
I just wanted to say thank you for this blog! I am super excited for some of your new recipes! When I get my own cooking blog up and going, I will let you know some of our fun recipes also!
Made this too. Was a big hit. Sooo good. I felt myself getting fatter with each bite.

LG has a long history in solar photovoltaics beginning over 30 years ago when they first began research into silicon crystalline cells. The next 20 years of research and development laid a solid foundation before LG started large scale PV module manufacturing in 2009 at their facility in Gumi, South Korea. LG solar is a subsidiary of massive LG Corporation, the South Korean multinational company with over 220,000 employees globally and total revenue in the tens of billions.
After close to 10 years of PV module manufacturing LG are now onto their fourth generation panels and produced over 2GW of panels in 2017. As a Tier 1 manufacturer holding numerous awards, ultra-efficient cell technology and industry leading warranty there are very few solar companies who can compete at this level of quality, service and reliability.
In Australia and north America, LG modules although more expensive than the competition, are very popular and it’s not hard to see why. LG panels are highly rated by customers and solar installers alike as they not only look impressive with the black anodised aluminium frames but the construction quality, detail and finish are of the highest standard.
The latest generation Neon 2 modules have firmly established LG as the leaders in multi-wire cell technology with 12 round wire busbars and the unique finger design being incorporated into all Neon 2 and Neon 2 bifacial modules. The N-type ‘Cello’ cells look impressive and improve performance and conversion efficiency. .
The LG NeON® 2 has seen many improvements, from longer warranties and higher efficiency to stronger frames and better wind loading.
LG NeON® 2 Black panels with their black cells, black frames and black backsheet give an aesthetically pleasing uniform appearance.
The LG NeON® R is a very powerful module. The 30 multi ribbon busbars at the rear of the module sets a new standard of innovation and is the result of LGs extensive solar R&D investment.
With our offices in Townsville and Brisbane, we can service all areas of Queensland with solar power and solar hot water system solutions.
Our friendly consultants can highlight where your spending your hard earned money and provide you with solutions to reduce your rising energy costs. Apollo Solar are the energy efficiency experts!

Tuesday afternoon, the Oakland, California, City Council met in a closed-door session at City Hall to learn the details of a new stadium deal for the Oakland Raiders that could keep the franchise from moving to Las Vegas. The stadium effort is being led by a development group spearheaded by NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott, who once played for both the Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers.
Council members who attended the session declined comment afterward, but the outline of a deal has emerged.
According to media reports, Lott’s group – the Oakland City Pro Football Group – would build a new 55,000-58,000-seat, football-only stadium on the site of the 50-year old Oakland Alameda County Coliseum, which would be demolished. The proposed $1.3 billion stadium would take up 95 acres of the 125-acre site, with the rest being developed by Lott’s group for an upscale merchandise and retail complex, possibly including a motel.
Lott’s group will hold another closed-door session with the council next week and the proposal will be made public at a regular meeting of the Oakland City Council a week later.
According to reports, Lott’s group, backed by the Fortress Investment Group of New York, would commit $600 million to the deal, $500 million from the Raiders, with another $200 million coming from the NFL’s new stadium fund. The city of Oakland and Alameda County would contribute $200 million in infrastructure upgrades.
Lott, who has carved out a pivotal role in the discussions about the Raiders’ future, has been shuttling between Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, the city council, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and the Raiders for the last three months. In the meantime, Raiders owner Mark Davis has maintained that he intends to move the franchise to Las Vegas into a $1.9 billion domed stadium, with a commitment of a third of that total in public funds – about 10 times what Oakland says it will commit in infrastructural improvements for a new stadium.
Ronnie Lott stands on the sidelines before the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Bengals at Levi Stadium on Dec. 20, 2015, in Santa Clara, California.
With talks between the Raiders and the city of Oakland on a new stadium at an impasse, Lott’s bid represents the only realistic hope of a deal to keep the Raiders in Oakland.
Schaaf, who hasn’t spoken to Mark Davis in months, but met with Lott last week, sounds optimistic.
Despite the Raiders on-field success this season, the future of the team in Oakland will continue to cast a large shadow over the resurgence.
Early Sunday afternoon of Nov. 3, in a vast stadium parking lot in East Oakland, there was only a roiling black and silver sea of humanity. If you didn’t know better, you’d think that you had defied the time-space continuum and been suddenly transported back 40 years to the glory days of Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders.
The sense of nostalgia was strong and unmistakable as a national television audience watched the eagerly anticipated contest between the visiting Denver Broncos and a young, resurgent Raiders squad. Thousands of tailgaters helped prime the loud, raucous but good-natured faithful, with raspy chants of “Raiders!” reverberating among the crowd every few minutes, repeated in unison to no one in particular.
A few hours later, the Raiders physically dominated the defending Super Bowl champion Broncos 30-20, taking sole possession of the AFC West at the midpoint of the regular season in the franchise’s most important game since Super Bowl XXXVII, some 14 seasons ago.
Yet the smoke rising from the outdoor grills pitched in the parking lot could not obscure the dilapidation of the relic that is the Oakland Alameda Coliseum.
Many of the fans wore the traditional black home jerseys of Raiders heroes of glory years past, such as No. 12 of the late beloved “Snake,” Ken Stabler. Others wore authentic replicas of Jim Plunkett’s No. 16, Dave Casper’s No. 87, Howie Long’s No. 75, or even that of Marcus Allen, who also donned the silver and black No. 32, but only as a Los Angeles Raider.
There was also an acknowledgement of the Raiders’ newfound success on the field, with fans wearing No. 4 jerseys of precocious quarterback Derek Carr and linebacker Khalil Mack, No. 52, the leader of Oakland’s staunch new defense.
There was even a fan wearing a jersey of the one-time Raider who may, ultimately, hold the key to the Raiders’ future in Oakland, No. 42, Ronnie Lott. The Hall of Fame safety, who spent most of his 14-year career playing across the bay for the San Francisco 49ers, has emerged as perhaps the last viable hope for keeping the Raiders in Oakland, saving their fans from the fate suffered by those of the 49ers.
“People in San Francisco miss Candlestick [Park] and having the 49ers,” Lott said recently. “It’s affected a lot of people, and that’s before you even bring the economics into it.
Lott is one of the principals of the Oakland City Pro Football Group, which reached an agreement in July with the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to develop a stadium development plan. But the 90-day pact expires this month. The group is backed by the Fortress Group, which boasts $70.2 billion in assets.
Besides the time constraints, Las Vegas has replaced Carson as a possible new home for the Raiders. Last month, both Las Vegas and Nevada legislators have approved $750 million in public funding for a $1.9 billion domed stadium in “Sin City,” to be ready in about two years.
Until very recently, it was expected that Mark Davis would apply to the NFL for relocation in January. But plans for a Vegas stadium have hit a snag. While Mark Davis has promised $500 million toward the new stadium to go along with the public funding, new doubts have been raised about the $650 million pledged to build the new stadium from gambling magnate Sheldon Adelson.
Adelson, who is believed to want a share of the Raiders franchise in return for his stadium contribution, said publicly that he can afford to walk away from any deal that is not to his liking.
Last week, Mark Davis reiterated his intention to move the Raiders to Las Vegas and added that he will not negotiate a deal for a stadium in Oakland as long as the Nevada project remains viable.
In the pantheon of gridiron heroes in the Bay Area, Lott stands shoulder to shoulder with the likes of former teammates Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. While Montana and Lott formed the high-scoring aerial combination that led those legendary Niners squads under head coach Bill Walsh, it was Lott who was the heart and soul of those squads.

Lott was a heat-seeking missile in the secondary, whose ball-hawking skills and bone-jarring hits often set the emotional tone for big games, helping to form an impregnable last line of defense on four 49er Super Bowl teams. He is, perhaps, best remembered as a player who was so intense that he chose to amputate the part of his left pinky finger to avoid missing a game.
Since he retired 22 years ago, Lott has made a smooth transition to life off the field, running two successful car dealerships, being involved as a philanthropist with the Silicon Valley Education Foundation and All-Stars Helping Kids, a nonprofit group that helps local disadvantaged children, among others.
A first-ballot member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Lott lives in Cupertino, in the heart of Silicon Valley, with his wife and three children. Unlike his persona as a vocal locker-room leader from his playing days, Lott has generally maintained a low public profile since his retirement. He has also tried to avoid the spotlight during his bid to keep the Raiders in Oakland, using the side doors at Oakland’s City Hall to avoid reporters. He did not respond to interview requests from The Undefeated. But those who know Lott well express a strong belief in him, despite the long odds his bid faces.
Still Edwards, who watched several efforts by the 49ers to build a stadium in San Francisco without success before finally moving to the 69,000-seat Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara two years ago, concedes that building a new stadium for the Raiders in Oakland faces several obstacles that may prove too difficult for any group, including Lott’s, to overcome.
Yet, Edwards says that Lott’s sterling reputation on and off the field within the Bay Area, and throughout the NFL, may prove critical to this most recent effort to keep the Raiders in Oakland. Although the details of the bid have yet to be made public, it is believed that Lott would like an equity share in the Raiders franchise.
The ownership of a major sports franchise by a former player is rare, but not unheard of. Jerry Richardson, a former wide receiver for the Baltimore Colts, became a millionaire operating Hardee’s restaurants before becoming the owner of the Carolina Panthers. Edwards mentioned the more recent transition of Michael Jordan from Chicago Bulls superstar to owner of the Charlotte Hornets franchise in 2010, as well as last year’s purchase of the Atlanta Hawks by a group headed by former All-Star Grant Hill.
Workers break apart a section of Candlestick Park as demolition continues on June 15, 2015, in San Francisco. The demolition of Candlestick Park, the former home of the San Francisco Giants and San Francisco 49ers, is in its final stages, with more than 75 percent of the structure reduced to rubble. A development with a mall and housing is planned for the site.
And this is a painful reality for many longtime residents of the Bay Area, especially those in the East Bay, who still cling to their blue-collar traditions.
For decades, both Hunters Point and East Oakland — both predominantly African-American and long economically depressed — were home to two of the sporting world’s iconic franchises, the 49ers and the Raiders. These communities are part of the Bay Area’s diverse, social quilt. Now both are on the verge of major demographic change, being targeted for redevelopment and gentrification by influx of the wealthy hipster and high-tech crowds from Silicon Valley.
Last season, the apparent inevitability of another move hung thick and heavy over the Raiders’ 14th consecutive, non-winning season. Almost a year ago, news emerged that Raiders owner Mark Davis was pursuing a new, football-only stadium in Carson, California, along with rival San Diego Chargers owner Alex Spanos. Ironically, last December, the two teams played in what was billed as the Raiders’ last game in Oakland.
The Raiders and the Chargers both applied to the NFL owners for relocation, submitting their Carson proposal. However, the owners rebuffed the joint stadium plan, instead approving the return to Los Angeles of the Rams from St. Louis and the construction of a megastadium in the nation’s second-largest media market.
Earlier this year, the Raiders signed three, one-year leases to continue playing at the Coliseum, a relic of the era of cookie-cutter, multipurpose stadiums. Oakland is the last NFL franchise sharing its home field with a baseball team.
Before the Broncos-Raiders game, Save Oakland Sports, a noisy, diehard nonprofit group that is attempting to keep the Raiders, A’s and Warriors in Oakland, passed out 10,000 placards that read, “Stay In Oakland” and “Las Vegas: If You Build It We Won’t Come.” They called upon fans to hold up the signs during the game. A plane flew over the stadium in the first quarter with a banner emblazoned with the first slogan.
Having survived last year’s aborted return to Los Angeles, many Raiders fans don’t seem discouraged by a proposed future move to Las Vegas.
“It’s not gonna happen,” said “Grizz” Jones, a longtime Raiders fan from a crowded tailgating party on 66th Street, across from the Coliseum. “The NFL hasn’t changed their minds about keeping the Raiders in Oakland at all. The only person that’s tried to go is Mark Davis. But for the NFL, their best interest and it’s as clear as day, Oakland’s the healthy choice.

Jones and other fans expressed their faith that Lott is the man who can get all the moving parts together that will make a new Raiders stadium a reality.
Despite this season’s success, with the 9-2 Raiders heading toward the playoffs, it doesn’t change the dire stadium situation faced by the franchise. The coliseum, which opened 50 years ago, is arguably the worst stadium in the league.
Despite $220 million in stadium improvements — a $90 million debt remains — that lured the Raiders back from Los Angeles in 1995, the coliseum is falling apart. Drainage for the field, which retains its baseball configuration and dirt infield until October, has always been a problem. Recently, the condition of the facility’s antiquated sewage system has become acute, backing up in dugouts and dressing rooms during baseball games in recent years.
There aren’t enough skyboxes or luxury seats at the coliseum. The third level of the stadium has been covered by a tarp for years. Even with the $91 million “Mount Davis,” the 10,000-seat addition built to accommodate the return of the Raiders, the stadium’s 56,057 capacity is the smallest in the NFL.
The Raiders haven’t had a stadium to call their own since 1965, when they played the last of three seasons at Frank Youell Field, a temporary 22,000-seat bandbox near downtown Oakland. Before that, the Raiders played their home games across the San Francisco Bay in Kezar Stadium and Candlestick Park.
But there’s no doubting the team’s loyal fan base, which continues to make their regular pilgrimage to the coliseum and its industrial area environs.
A fan of the Oakland Raiders cheers during the game against the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 2, 2005, at McAfee Coliseum in Oakland, California.
Even if the Raiders don’t move to Las Vegas, it’s apparent that they can’t afford to stay much longer at the coliseum, even if a deal can be worked out to build a new stadium in Oakland.
Even if a new stadium were approved on the coliseum site today, it would take at least two years to build. Regardless, the Raiders will need another place to play in the interim. There are two local options, according to Dobbins, but neither appear to be long-term solutions for the Raiders’ quest for a stadium of their own.
The first is a temporary move to Levi’s Stadium as a tenant of the 49ers. When it was originally conceived, the Raiders were envisioned as a co-owner, but then-owner Al Davis balked at the idea. Now a move to Santa Clara from Oakland would cost the Raiders considerably more in a lease agreement, while also cutting off money for parking, concessions, skyboxes and private seat licenses – all considerable revenue streams that benefit most other NFL teams.
This would add insult to injury to an ongoing feud between the two franchises that goes back 56 years. There is a fierce rivalry between the fan base of each city’s team. Not since the Brooklyn Dodgers-New York Yankees-New York Giants rivalries of the 1940s and ’50s has there arguably been as much mutual disdain between the supporters of teams in such close geographic proximity to each other.
The second option would be for the Raiders to move their home games to the nearby, revamped 62,467-seat Memorial Stadium on the Berkeley campus of the University of California.
The Raiders used to regularly play exhibition games at the stadium in the 1970s, as well as a memorable regular-season game in 1973. Because of a scheduling conflict with the A’s, the Raiders were forced to play the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 23, 1973, beating them 12-7 on four George Blanda field goals and ending Miami’s 18-game winning streak.
But the on-field success was accompanied by off-field stress. Hordes of Raiders fans descended on Berkeley’s narrow streets, producing traffic congestion and parking problems. In response, the city of Berkeley passed the Professional Sports Events License Tax, allowing the city to collect 10-percent of all gate receipts. The Raiders challenged the law and were granted an injunction. The California Court of Appeals subsequently later invalidated the measure.
However, the prospect of hosting 10 Raiders home games (eight regular season and two preseason games) and the weekend invasions of the rowdy Raiders Nation would not be popular with University of California’s Board of Regents or many Berkeley residents.
But for how long? Oakland’s home teams are past impatient; they’re desperate.
Yes, even the Golden State Warriors. The lovable Stephen Curry-Klay Thompson-Draymond Green Warriors, along with new teammate Kevin Durant, are embraced on both sides of the Bay Bridge. But the Warriors, who have played all but one season in Oakland since 1972, are fleeing the refurbished Oracle Arena in three seasons for the San Francisco’s Mission District, the site of the 18,000-seat, Chase Center — a state-of-the-art arena and complex now under construction.
The deal is expected to double the value of the franchise to nearly $4 billion.
The A’s, the primary tenant at the coliseum, aren’t planning to stay in their antiquated home. They have been desperately trying for more than a decade to build a new ballpark. Forbes magazine ranks them as the third-poorest major league franchise with a market value of about $300 million, making it difficult for the A’s to field competitive squads or retain its best players.
The A’s quest for a suitable new home mirrors the frustrated odyssey of the Raiders in many respects. Major League Baseball will not grant the A’s permission to relocate to San Jose. There were failed plans for a new stadium in nearby Fremont. The ball club is now in negotiations with the city of Oakland to build a downtown, baseball-only park at Howard Terminal in the port of Oakland. So, it appears the A’s will be forced to share AT&T Park with the Giants in San Francisco for a few seasons, an idea they have long resisted.
According to Forbes, the Raiders ranked near the bottom of the league in revenue last year, making about $40 million for eight home games. When the Raiders played a Monday night “home” game in Mexico City against the Texans two weeks ago, the league grossed $22 million and the game drew about 30,000 more fans than if the game had been held in Oakland. A new stadium would level the playing field for the Raiders in a league where more than a dozen franchises have moved into new state-of-the-art stadiums.
Noll, who has written extensively on the economics of stadiums, argued that the positive impact of a new Raiders stadium, even at the current site, would be negligible. Both the city of Oakland and Alameda County are strapped for cash and have only offered $95 million in infrastructure improvements, far less than Las Vegas.
But Noll added that the proposed deal to move the Raiders into a new stadium in Las Vegas is far from a sure thing.
Noll cites the league’s long prohibition on gambling.
He also said the NFL would never force an owner like Mark Davis to sell part of his team and that many owners would oppose selling part of the Raiders to Adelson, given his considerable gambling ties.
And, ultimately, this may scupper a Vegas deal for the time being and give Lott’s bid a chance.
Still, Noll added, there is a charisma and a mystique to a former athlete like Lott that is intangible.
But, ultimately, a new Raiders stadium is a quid pro quo proposition. If the Lott group is able to pull off a deal to keep the franchise, as well as the A’s in Oakland, what would they get in return? Currently, they have a deal to get the rights to develop the coliseum site tax-free, but would they also demand a share of the Raiders, the 21st most-valuable NFL team at $2.1 billion? That may be the most contentious issue to negotiate, especially at the 11th hour.
In the end, even the presence of Lott may not be enough to prevent the departure of Oakland’s first major league franchise and, perhaps, the most iconic piece of what still remains a blue-collar town.

1. What is Rapsberry Pi?
I have always wanted to talk about my favorite thing of the year: the cheap tiny linux PC - Yes, the Raspberry Pi!
It will be avaiblable soon by the end of the year 2011, let's hope.
It is a full linux PC on which we can install Ubuntu, or even play Quake smoothly.
2. Why is Raspebrry Pi so interesting for DIY Phone Gadgets?
Conclusion: Every project that combines Android and Raspberry Pi can make a powerful gadget.
3. How to make DIY Phone Gadgets combining Rasperry Pi and Android?
Mode 1. Android as a standalone remote control and Raspebrry Pi as a part of the gadget.
We can plug USB WiFi or Bluetooth dongles on Raspberry Pi, connecting it to the Arduino or whatever microcontroller, and use Android to interact with it.
Typical examples can be home automation gadgets such as an NFC lock or an intelligent airconditionner, showing user interface on the Android phone. WiFi toys with augmented reality feature can be interesting too. In UAV, you can connect Raspberry Pi to ArduPilot, and do some near real-time telemetry and video feedback via WiFi to be displayed on the Android phone, seamlessly working with Google Maps.
We can connect the Raspberry Pi powered gadget to the Internet, and use Android to "chat" with it from everywhere in the world.
An example that I can imagine would be a surveillance robot with USB camera at home (of course its brain is the tiny Raspberry Pi). While the robot is wandering at home, we can chat with it on Google Talk using our Android phone from another end of the world. The QoS on some 3G or 4G networks can be good enough to support video chat and voip. Android will use XMPP, Web RTC or whatever promising or classical Internet protocols to interract with the gadget.
Mode 2. Android and Raspberry Pi together as a part of the gadget.
This mode takes advantage of the Android's built-in software and hardware (GPS, sensors, WiFi, bluetooth, etc) and the advantage of Raspberry Pi's good hardware extensitivity (because it is a linux PC with USB 2.0 OTG ports).
In this mode, the Android is directly connected to Raspberry Pi using a USB cable, just as it is connected to any PC. So ADB and USB tethering can be great protocols to help realizing fast bidirectional communication.
An example can be a sophisticated RC controller with many physical buttons and joysticks, and of course Android's large touch screen. You can download many different Android applications for this gadget, or add different 2.4Ghz radio modules. So there is a both a greater software and hardware flexibility compared to the classical radio controls from different manufacturers.
Mode 3. Installing Android on Raspberry Pi...And make cheap gadgets.
This seems a bit difficult for now because higher versions of Android are demanding in terms of hardware capabilties.
3. What can be done to help developers of DIY Phone Gadgets?
The idea is to buid up some good libraries in Raspberry Pi that can work with a special microcontroller such as Arduino, while supporting different types of connections with Android. The ultimate purpose is to provide a simple and single way to develop, instead of always developing on different platforms and trying to figure out how to bridge.
I really like the way how projects like IOIO and Amarino integrate the electronics programming in Android development. If Raspberry Pi can provide such a platform to handle PWM, UART etc while easily supporting WiFi dongles, and it is so cheap, why not?
There are approximately 16 spare GPIOs, which on the Alpha board are brought out to 1.27mm pin-strip. Voltage levels are 3v3. The connector choice is deliberately annoying to connect to directly; there is no over-voltage protection on the board so the intention is that people interested in serious interfacing will use an external board with buffers, level conversion and analog I/O rather than soldering directly onto the main board. It brings 2x I2C (3v3), I2S and an SPI (3v3) interface out to the same connector. It supports one slave interface for I2C and one for SPI. The UART has four PINs: 3.3V, GND, TX and RX. Kernel boot messages go to this UART at 115200bps.
It is my understanding that the raspberry pi can not run Ubuntu, as there isn't a version compiled for use on the arm processor that will work well with the limited ram.
It can run anything it has the power and compatibility to run. I suggest you run your own Ubuntu if one isn't available.
Raspebrry Pi is one of the greatest phone gadget I have ever seen.It is most useful gadget for smartphone. Today most of the people uses smartphone that's why this geeky gadgets is really an important gadgets for them.

All the miles, all the egos and all the sacrifices come down to 17 minutes of racing. Both crews had a point to prove going into the race, Oxford looking to avenge last year’s race and Cambridge looking to create their own dynasty.
Both crews powered out the start and to their relief there was no drama unlike the women’s race. As the lighter crew, it was vital Oxford settled into a strong rhythm and prevented Cambridge from gaining an early advantage. Moving out to half a half a length lead by the Putney Embankment Oxford clearly wanted to minimise the early advantage Cambridge would receive on the Middlesex station. Cambridge capitalised on their advantage and closed the gap to around a quarter of a length.
Four minutes in saw the steering of both coxes become extremely aggressive and subsequently many warnings were given for both crews to move apart. In the shadow of Hammersmith Bridge Oxford moved to around a length ahead of Cambridge as a sharp application the rudder caused the Light Blues to slip back. A clash of blades from the seven and two men of Oxford and Cambridge respectively threw Oxford’s rhythm momentarily. However, coming under Hammersmith Oxford had moved to around a length’s lead.
With the large Hammersmith bend now in the Dark Blue’s favour Oxford looked to move clear and kill the race. Cambridge refused to give up and as a result, Oxford never moved to more than a length of clear water. Oxford were warned on several occasions to return to their station as it was deemed by Matthew Pinsent that there was not a sufficient gap between the boats for Oxford to take their desired line.
Oxford maintained a slightly lower rate of striking and as the crews neared Barnes Rail Bridge Oxford continued to send down puddles as Cambridge closed to three quarters of a length. As the crews entered the final part of the race Oxford looked imperious but Cambridge never gave up and moved back to around two thirds of a length of clear water.
This year the waters of the Men’s Boat Race were painted dark blue and Oxford rowed to victory in a time of 16:59 holding Cambridge’s final charge to a win of one a quarter length. For Oxford’s men the celebrations begin. For Cambridge, the narrow defeat of four seconds leaves them empty and seeking redemption in 2018.

You might think that all of the engineering brainpower in cities like Boston, San Diego, and Seattle is sucked up by high-voltage startups or by giant employers in the software, server, or semiconductor businesses. But proof that there’s plenty of surplus technological creativity in these regions is popping up in odd places like Willoughby & Baltic, a “hackerspace” I visited last month in Somerville, MA.
The group’s workshop—which was located until recently above a Subway sandwich shop in Davis Square and is in the process of moving to a former machine shop in Union Square—is essentially a clubhouse for geeks who like to build stuff in their off time. The “stuff” ranges from robots and other electronic toys to jewelry and interactive art installations—and to build it, members have collected a veritable museum of castoff equipment, from lathes, mills, kilns, and forges to soldering irons and spectrophotometers.
The hackerspace is actually the third or fourth incarnation of the Willoughby & Baltic brand, which started off as fanciful name for Garniss’s electronic typeface foundry in the mid-1990s, then went dormant for a while, and was then re-applied to the Davis Square garage space that Garniss turned into an art studio after leaving Bitstream. The studio evolved into a community puppet theater; the puppets went robotic; the theater group became the Boston chapter of the international hobbyist group Dorkbot (whose tagline is “People doing strange things with electricity”); and a group of Dorkbot members eventually decided to rent the second-floor space above the neighboring Subway and turn it into a hackerspace.

Of course there are some minor issues, but everything can be solved.
you bump into a problem, you can always ask here.
> I take it you have done this? Are there any "caveats" to developing this way? My main reasons are that I like the VS debugger details (My usual machine is OS X 10.6.8) but VS2010 is just painstakingly slow when compared against OS X and Makefiles (clang is even faster..). I use QtCreator (used to use Eclipse) on OS X and I generally like the environment. I would like to have the best of QtCreator (Fast start up and editing) with a great debugging experience. I may fire up a VM and try this out.
>> Yes, you can install just Windows SDK and have a native win stack for free.
>>> Yep. A couple of times. After uninstalling/reinstalling VS2010 & Windows SDK & plus VS2010SP1 & Windows SDK SP1 Update the debugger never was installed. I finally tried downloading the "Windows 8 SDK" which runs on Windows 7x64 (which is what I am on) and that seemed to install the debuggers. Now my "Kit" automatically picked up those debuggers. Now lets see if I can actually debug my project.
>>> How is the speed of the debugger compared to Visual Studio? Also does this mean that I could install JUST the Windows SDK (compilers/debuggers) and QtCreator and have a full up "FREE" (as in NO MONEY) IDE that uses the VS compilers? This would make me happy.
>>>> Di you choose to install CDB when installing the SDK?
>>>>> For the older Windows SDKs, such as Windows SDK 7.1, the Debugging Tools for Windows where shipped as a separate installer on the ISO-image of the SDKs. The debuggers are typically located in c:\Program Files (x86)\Debugging Tools for Windows or c:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows .
>>>>> I do not have any of those paths. Do you? What is the path to the cdb.exe that you are using?
>>>>>> build folder created by QtCreator.
>>>>>>> Not sure which list (this or the CMake List) to ask on so I'll try here first.
>>>>>>> If I understand correctly QtCreator on Windows can use the VS Compilers/Debugger. My project is managed with CMake instead of QMake and I was curious if anyone else is using this combination and could give some pointers on how to setup the environment to use QtCreator in this way? What generator do I use? What kind of env vars need to be setup ahead of time. Stuff like that.

There was no man involved in the kidnapping of Christine. Dusty was accompanied by 2 or 3 other women. One named, Pat Shaw and Dusty's other sister Diane.
Mary Brown was not really present when Terrah Christine was found in Illinois. It was too much for her emotionally and physically. She had already faced several disappointments regarding the custody of Christine. Christine Brown was found with Charlene at a shelter in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.
Get this question a lot. As of yet, there is no book on the movie. This case continues to fascinate many people. Several people were working on a book. The movie's producer, who also happened to be Kathy Dusty Brown's public defender in the case, spoke of writing a book at one time. Mary Brown talked about writing a book, but she never published anything. Dusty's family asked me about writing a book with them, but I wasn't interested at the time, and now Dusty's last husband has also expressed interest in writing a book on this case. So maybe there is one for the future.
Many of you have commented on how much this movie makes you cry. It makes me cry too...and every single time! I think that is why this movie has such a huge following. This movie was not made by Lifetime. It originally premiered on NBC. It was a high drama movie. The music just makes you break down in tears. I don't think anyone could have played the parents better than Patty Duke and Martin Sheen. Patty Duke captured the very essence of Mary Brown. I was told that Martin Sheen wanted Jack to appear "less likeable" in the film. The grandmother's portrayal was far from what the real lady was like according to sources.
2. The part where Mary Brown screams and drops to the floor as Dusty tells her that Chris has been killed.
3. The entire funeral scene...especially when Jack tries to help Mary up, and she refuses to go with him, and he just walks away, and then he turns around to look at her one more time as if he is helpless.
4. The scene where Mary blames Jack. He looks hurt to the core, and he finally blames himself for letting Chris go.
What are the saddest parts for you?
I did get your questions this morning. The truth is I don't know. Rocky actually did 20 years in prison, and remember when he was first sentenced he sort of took the wrap for her. It was only after he learned that she had used him and virtually dumped him that he decided to tell the real story of what happened. This could have had an impact on how much time he actually served. Dusty didn't serve all of her time. I will have to go back through my notes in a few to check, but if I am not mistaken, I thought Dusty Brown's defense attorney told me that the judge felt sympathetic towards her. Let me double check that.
"Confrontation with me". I regret it. I live with it everyday."
"The military found me guilty before I was even tried."
This part is not legible, but it says "Eligible for parole after 10 years. The Clemency Board told me to enjoy my time."
The notes on that part are choppy, which is why I didn't include them in the first notes. That's all I have on him for now. Hope that helps Fiestymom.
Thanks for that question fiestymom. Yes, Jack and Mary did have another son. They did not feature him at all in the movie. It is my understanding that he has had a really hard time dealing with seeing his mother and father go through what they have concerning Chris' death. He has also had to put up with a lot of problems stemming from Christy's behavior.
For anyone wondering about the obit. Yes, Jack and Mary Brown did divorce. I will look back through the rest of my notes tonight to find the exact date of the divorce. They were not able to make it after Chris' death I am told. There was a lot of resentment among other things. Jack remarried. Mary did not.

One of the great freedoms that is realized when you create or run your own company is that you don’t have to report to anyone. In fact, for some, that’s part of the appeal. But if you are that person, pining to do your own thing just to get out from under that guy you work for, be careful. More than 70% of new businesses fail within the first couple of years, and starting one solely because you don’t want to work for anyone else could be the biggest mistake of your life.
In reality, we all work for someone. The best leaders, after all, are the ones who view their customers, employees, business partners, and community organizations as the key audiences they serve. However, when you run your own shop, who provides you with some much needed guidance and insight?
Before I started my company in 2004, I read how important it was to have some objective input from a small group of trusted advisors, and decided to implement that thinking myself.
My criteria was simple: Complete confidentiality, no compensation (except dinner), and no legal authority or liability. I had read that the best advisory boards were comprised of individuals you respected and looked up to, who had skills that complimented your own, and who would challenge you. They needed to be people who also cared about your success, for no other reason than they wanted you to succeed. No conflict of interest by engaging clients or current business partners.
So our advisory board ultimately included a lawyer, a financial executive, and a successful entrepreneur who had been in business for several years, and who was several times larger than I ever expected to be. Yes, they were friends – but when they sat around the conference table 2-3 times per year, I treated them like my board of directors, and they took on their role with that intensity. I shared all of our financials, business plans, and operational challenges. I even shared with them my ultimate exit strategy well in advance of its execution.
Sometimes, the conversations were uncomfortable. They would challenge me to think about growth, business mix, and the right talent. Occasionally, I would squirm the way I did when my CEO challenged me about the same kinds of things. However, this was the best of both worlds: I would get good insight and some nudging by the boss; however, I didn’t have to do anything they suggested – it was on me to make the final decisions.
Even when I disagreed with a suggestion or strong recommendation, I would incorporate their objective thinking into my own direction and solution – so it was always valuable.
So if you are in business for yourself, or contemplating it anytime soon, do yourself and your company a huge favor – seek out a small group of professionals you look up to and respect, and who have interest in seeing you succeed. And listen.
It may be the best boss you’ll ever have.

This is a short section on thoughts about value, proposals and negotiation.
Customers buy because we add value in some way. It’s normally a mix of value to our customers company plus any additional value we bring to the individuals themselves. A starting point is the cost of the implications of the customer not changing against the benefits of changing (less the cost of changing). This is the reason that understanding the implications of customer problems is so important.
We can give case histories of the benefits other have achieved however it’s really the customer who has to estimate the value for themselves. We can’t tell them as such, but we can facilitate them through the discovery phase of working out the likely cost of not changing and the benefits of changing. We can also help them understand the costs of making a wrong decision in implementation. We can help with this facilitation at the start of the buying process, and as part of helping them write a case review or case study after implementation.
In doing this we may be adding more real value that the actual cost of our product or service.
Let’s assume we’re in a situation where we’re adding unique value through our services, rather than selling a commodity service.
it’s normally best not to ‘bundle ‘ our services too much. We want to offer a range of services, with at least one aspirational service higher than our customers budget. Some some customers will look for the lowest price while other will look for the greatest value and we want to be able satisfy the customer looking for the greatest value. When customers want to negotiate to reduce their costs we can say “We can reduce our costs, however what value (ie which additional service) are you happy to loose.” Customers are often less happy to negotiate prices down when they’re losing something at the same time.
We can only truly negotiate if we’re prepared to walk away. So it’s worth thinking through our position on this before we get involved in negotiation.
Customer’s can (and do) make up all sorts of reasons to negotiate lower prices. And often we simply have to hold our ground. However there are two situations when they’re in a particularly strong position a) They haven’t identified any unique value in what we’re offering b) They are in a position to give us an order.
In the second case its worth thinking through how much having a real order is worth to us. It maybe worth giving something if we’ve agreed that beforehand that it will get us the order.

Unlike stove-top risottos, this oven-baked version requires hardly any stirring. Grate some additional Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top of the individual portions.
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In an ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring to coat the grains with oil, about 1 minute.
2. Stir in the wine and cook until it has completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, the stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, transfer to the oven, and bake, until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Remove from oven. Stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup water (the consistency of the risotto should be creamy), the butter, cheese, and parsley. Serve immediately.
Absolutely love this recipe. I roasted shrimp with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Added those and trimmed fresh baby spinach leaves at the end. Served it to the Nevada attorney general in my restaurant and he raved over it!!
We made this last Sunday from the latest Martha Stewart Living - the new recips is slightly different from what's here but it was delicious - so fresh and spring-y with the fresh herbs. Did not need to add any extra broth after it came out of the oven. I made risotto!!! Thanks Martha.
I had my doubts about an oven baked risotto, but this worked beautifully. The finished product had a wonderful texture and was absolutely yummy!
wow! i just got a lovely enameled dutch oven for christmas, and as a long-time risotto lover had no idea that i could have saved myself hours of stirring at the stovetop all these years. this was the perfect consistency, and even i used a favorite combo of arborio rice and pearl barley (seriously, try it!). texture was just right. i added some saut?
I have been preparing this at least six times a year since it was published. Substitute vegetable broth and you have a wonderful vegetarian dish. The leftovers are to die for. I add garlic and extra Parmesan. Serve it with a salad and asparagus - yum!

For years now, I’ve had a small collection of inspirational, advice, and self-help books. A couple books about parenting, a book of Zen proverbs, books about writing, books about living simply, etc. Every now and then I’d read through one of them to remind myself of the useful or inspiring things I read the first time, to be sure they were always in my mind.
Lots of self-help books are mostly filler, though, so I might read a hundred pages and only get ten pages of what I want. With the Zen proverbs book, there are only a few I particularly like but I had to keep the whole book for them. And of course, with so many books, I couldn’t stay regularly updated on them all.

Just a reminder that entries are flooding in almost as fast as Huddersfield score goals in the premier league.
Its 900pts, no knight and pre set terrain.
Usual location in sunny Robin Hood's Bay and everyone is guaranteed a warm and friendly reception.
In the area the week before so have booked a hotel and paid my entry.
Looking forward to giving Bayfog a try.
Thanks chaps.. glad you can make it Steve...can give you a warm up game the week before if you are close by??
after last year's Matey bubble bath extravaganza which led to some disappointment amongst the winners, (due to lack of bubble baths) I can confirm that the budget has been increased slightly and no spare has been expensed on this year's trophies.
A 'strong' Durham contingent.. although it may technically be more accurate to say a 'sizable contingent'.

Many people feel like losing weight is a mountain that is simply too tall for them to climb. If this is how you currently feel about the prospect of losing weight, it’s important to note that this mountain isn’t too tall for you to climb. Instead, you simply need to guide who knows how to take you to the top. With the help of Pleasant Hill personal training, you will be able to start viewing the task of losing weight as a small hill that you can breeze over instead of an imposing mountain.
Before you commit to any Pleasant Hill personal training, you want to make sure that you find a trainer who is the right fit for your needs and goals. The easiest way to do this is to meet with a trainer in person. By interacting directly with a potential trainer, you will be able to gauge if they are going to be a good fit for you. When you meet with a potential trainer for the first time, the first thing you want to take note of is their appearance.
While they don’t need to have the figure of a professional bodybuilder to be a good trainer, they should be in good shape. If they look like the only time they spend in the gym is when they have a session with a client, then they probably don’t have the necessary passion to help you get the most out of your Pleasant Hill personal training.
One of the first topics you want to discuss with a potential trainer is how they design routines for their clients. While there are a wide range of responses that you can receive to this question, you want to look for one that’s along the lines of them adapting a specific routine to your fitness level and the goals you want to reach. Quality Pleasant Hill personal training doesn’t come in the form of a cookie-cutter workout.
You also want to hear them talking about the fact that they take a balanced approach to their routines. You’ll get the best results when you work with a trainer who takes the time to incorporate cardio on machines, work with free weights, machine exercises and drills that are done with resistance bands or your body weight.
In addition to spending time talking to the trainer, if you feel like they are going to be a good fit for what you want out of your Pleasant Hill personal training, you should ask for client references. When you talk to their previous clients, you can find out if they were always on time for their training sessions.
You can also ensure that the trainer was always engaged in the workouts and not distracted by their cell phone or chatting with other people in the gym. Also, you can ask past clients if they were happy with the results that they achieved. If they all say yes, this trainer is probably exactly who you want for your Pleasant Hill personal training.

Why is it that every time a new feature gets implemented, it's such a struggle to get it supported by all platforms? I really think there are some major issues in Spotify's development process and/or code structure if you have to reinvent the wheel every time for each platform. I understand that some features, especially on the UI side are platform dependent but for example this is such a simple core feature that it should have been released on all platforms at the same time.
Another question is why is it, that everytime a new patch or update is released, some features or design elements, that were used frequently, were usefull and people were used to them, they just disappear somehow. I am sure that there was such option to save my music for offline use on my Windows desktop app, based on artist or album, not only on playlist. Now I have dozens of playlists created, so I can then save them to listen offline to some band, or only to some of their albums - one playlist for each situation. That is very annoying. Please bring this back.
Cvan_ghost2 is right. Every major update Spotify introduces something new, but they take out USEFUL features. Like ''available offline'', the volume bar etc. what's next? Play/pause button?..
darn guys, make that 'available offline' feature!
Added my kudos to this feature request. I would expect this to be synced by the way, mobile saved offline items also saves things offline on desktop client sorta like you can download apps to your android phone from a webbrowser on a desktop (I'm on mac and ios by the way but used to have an android). I actually use my desktop (late 2012 macbook pro) to stream music in the car via a hotspot because I hate how you can only play things by album rather than auto advancing to the next song (in the next album) like the desktop version does. I personally do not like creating playlists, I like playing stuff by artist, or radio. I don't want to have to compile a playlist just to listen to stuff.
THe workaround of the playlist is nice, but not really up to the expectation of having a desktop app that does at least as much as the mobile app!!!!
So while online/on my desktop I can right click or use the 3dots button and use "Save to your Music" and that will then allow me to on my Iphone 6s+ listen to that song/album/whatever if having no internet or service ie OFFLINE completeley? Is that the same for creating a playlist also, is that you can listen to them while OFFLINE completeley?
THe playlist just helps you have tihngs more organized gneerally?
Thanks for any input just wanting to make sure premium is right for me as a user of mainly on the road/touring use.
Any update Spotify Team? It's been a year so far, and it seems fairly easy to implement, considering it's already been done on mobile.

Valeroa markets itself as a consumer-friendly alternative to Denuvo, a software anti-tamper technology that promised to work with offline games, provide no frame drops when used with gaming applications and incur no unnecessary wear on HDDs or SSDs.
While the performance impact of Denuvo is a hotly debated topic, Valeroa promises to mitigate the perceived issue entirely, promising game developers to protect their games around launch while presenting no downsides to gamers. Perhaps the most noteworthy change is that Valeroa doesn’t limit the number of hardware changes PC, preventing the “Denuvo Lockout” issue that plagues benchmarkers, reviewers and other hardware testers.
Addressing other complaints usually aimed at Denuvo, Valeroa claims not to continuously write to the gamer’s hard drive while placing no limit on the number of daily installations or changes of hardware.
On November 29, Valeroa made its debut on the game City Patrol: Police, a racing/action game that doesn’t appear to be particularly popular with early adopters. Doubling up on the disappointment, the Valeroa technology didn’t stand up as promised either.
On Saturday December 1, two days after launch, the game appeared online with its protection cracked. A user known online as ‘Steam006’ was reportedly responsible and if his report is to be believed, Valeroa didn’t put up much of a fight.
“It took about 20 minutes to make the crack,” he announced.
While this rapid defeat was greeted with amusement by the game cracking community, a number of questions about Valeroa remain.
The site itself gives no indication as to who is behind the technology and its domain WHOIS is protected, something which is not common when traditional corporate entities are involved. Its Linkedin page states the company is in the UK, providing a London postcode of EC1 and stating that Valeroa is “almost impossible to crack”.
However, an early version of the website claimed the company was situated in France, offering the address 54-56 Avenue Hoche, Paris 75008. This sounds suspicious.
While the aims of Valeroa are positive for consumers, the purpose of anti-tamper technology is to prevent hackers from creating pirated versions of the software/game, something which Valeroa has failed at with City Patrol: Police. Denuvo took years to crack for the first time, giving developers plenty of reasons to consider using the technology, and while Valeroa targets indie developers as an affordable offering, it has done little to inspire confidence in their product.
Whether its strength will improve over time remains to be seen but the people behind the technology, whoever they are, do seem to understand why gamers hate DRM and similar technologies. That is certainly novel, if nothing else.
As a small aside, please note that anti-tamper technology is not DRM, though the words have been used interchangeably by consumers in recent years. Anti-tamper technology is designed to work with DRM solutions, such as storefront-based solutions like Steam DRM, to prevent it from being removed from the game/software or bypassed. Valeroa and Denuvo are not DRM.

I’m a television producer by trade, so when I was given the news that the man I had left 2 hours earlier, in the home and life we shared, was now dead, I fell apart briefly. But then my professional instincts kicked in.
A half-hour drive from home and in shock, I started making calls – to people who could rush to my son’s side, now alone in the house with the police and my husband’s body; to my in-laws, whose only son had just died; to my extended family, who could fill the house and chase away fear; to my friends who could comfort me during the excruciating free-fall.
I was in a crisis and that’s what a producer manages.
G., who has limited language skills, was brought to me. I was told I needed to relate to him that his father was dead. I looked G. in his eyes and said, “Your father is dead. He won’t be coming home”. Ok…uncomfortable. G. had no idea what the phrase meant. Back to the phone. I had to organize a funeral home, set up a memorial, make the Thanksgiving dinner that was sitting in my car trunk. From then on, my memory fades.
For almost 2 months I was able to operate in this way: things needed to be done, so I did them. Zombie-like or not, I was able to get them done. But once the utilities were changed over, accounts were transferred and death certificates were distributed and filed, the mourning began. And it’s something I cannot organize, manage or produce.
Everyday is like wearing a tire around my neck – my shoulders are tight in the back and my chest feels like it’s being thumped constantly in the front: like I literally have a broken heart inside.
I have the confusion of survivor’s guilt – why wasn’t I there? Did I bring this on? When I saw J. bent over his desk 6 hours before he died, in the wee hours of the morning, didn’t I understand a primal instinct that something was really wrong? Why didn’t I force him to go to the hospital when he told me he wouldn’t go.
Then, there’s the knowledge that my sons no longer have a father. Is that shameful? What do we do without a father – how does that work? Why us?
I cry most when I’m driving, but once I thought to myself, “Would I even take him back if he wasn’t dead now?” I clutched my head – did I kill him? No Silly! You learn in therapy - it’s the heart’s way of protecting itself. Or is it?
Days turn into weeks and so on, but these thoughts are relentless and exhausting, with only a small amount of light that creeps in unexpectedly. It becomes painfully obvious to me that the easiest way to end it would be to kill myself.
But I still have to work because I still have to set the pace for my children, who need so much care because they themselves have no idea of what’s going on. And therein lies the rub: you keep going because your children provide purpose. They are the legacy. They are the fight that keeps you boxing, even though you’ve been hit square in the face so much you’re almost blinded.
I sit here typing in front of photos of happier days. I’ve begrudgingly de-activated J’s Facebook page. I’ve sold his car, meaning I will never again blow him kisses good-bye as he leaves the garage. Every day I trudge through the indignities of letting go. I weep and I shuffle slowly, afraid that I’ll lose sight of the past in search of the future.
Everyday, I stare at his toothbrush in the bathroom as it leans sadly down in our toothbrush holder. It waits silently, as I do, for the off chance he’ll return to brush his teeth.
It breaks my heart that anyone (or family) should have to go through this. I am very sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss, for your family's loss. The physical sensations you describe are familiar to me. After Katie's passing, I wondered, for a while, if there was something "wrong" with my heart. Of course there is - it's broken!
I pray that you will have comfort, solace, peace and grace each step of the grief journey. I am glad that you know that your life matters, and that your children need you. One breath at a time, you can do this. God bless you!
So sorry, you are having a very difficult time. I wish you and your family healing and peace.
Thank you for sharing so honestly your journey. As Karen said, all of your physical symptoms are natural, but of course no easier to deal with.
Perhaps Karen could share how things may have changed for her emotionally over time. I am sure that you won't always feel the way you are feeling now, and it's important to know that.
I am glad you have your children to keep you moving forward.
I cannot even fathom what you have been through. What you are going through. I marvel at the strength of will and the love for your children which helps drive you on through another day.
Sending you thoughts of peace, of healing and comfort.
In the annals of grief, this is a shattering description. Yet the clarity with which you render these heartbreaking moment- to- moment details reveals what is strong and steadfast.
You are carrying that heavy grief---it is not carrying you. Of course you weep and shuffle, perhaps scream and doubt, and yet you walk, you walk. Thank you for elevating the readers here by allowing us to bear witness and wish you peace and healing.
I can't imagine how difficult your life must be right now and admire your honesty and clarity in articulating your grief. I send you good thoughts and wishes and prayers of peace and healing for you and your children.
"But I still have to work because I still have to set the pace for my children, who need so much care because they themselves have no idea of what’s going on. And therein lies the rub: you keep going because your children provide purpose. They are the legacy. They are the fight that keeps you boxing, even though you’ve been hit square in the face so much you’re almost blinded."
Sorry but I don't no for this post thank you.
Keep writing. Write. Write. Write.
what a devastating loss. i am so sorry.
as michelle says, keep writing. it's important.

Bonnie Koehn, in her article, Early Signs of an Unhealthy Relationship, writes about how abusers can be very charming in the early stages of a relationship and for this reason women are usually drawn to them. Therefore, it can be difficult to identify signs of abuse, and often it is only identified when the partner has already become the victim.
When the partner is lovable and sweeps you off your feet, continuously compliments you and makes you believe that you are the world to them, but it feels a bit too exaggerated, then it probably is. This is a tactic commonly used by abusers, placing their target on a pedestal, so that they can become dependent on their approval.
If he constantly wants to know where you and what you’re doing, it could be a sign that he is too intrusive. Koehn suggests paying close attention to how he reacts when you set boundaries regarding your privacy and whether it is respected.
Abusers often recruit good, respected people around them that will vouch for them. These people genuinely believe the abuser to a kind-hearted person based on their interactions with the abuser. The abuser keeps these people on his side to ensure that whenever he is confronted about his behaviour, the cheerleaders will place doubt into everyone’s mind.
Abusers are very critical of others. They find something wrong with anyone and everything, yet they are not perfect. To abusers, criticism is a way to divert attention from their own flaws. By criticising others, they redirect people’s attention away from them. This way abusers can go unnoticed for long periods of time.

1. Using a sharp knife, remove the breasts and legs from the quails. Save the carcass for making stock.
2. For the stock, place the carcasses in a deep saucepan. Pour over 600ml cold water, and add the carrot, onion, leek, celery, parsley stalks and peppercorns.
3. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, skimming regularly to remove any foam on top. Continue cooking for about 1 hour, skimming the surface every now and again. Remove the pan from the heat, and leave on one side to cool before straining.
4. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.
5. For the stuffing, put the chicken, basil, garlic, ceps, thyme, egg and bacon in a food processor, and blend to a paste. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. With a sharp knife, slit the quail breasts to make a pocket in each one. Fill two-thirds of the stuffing into these pockets.
6. Remove the smaller thigh bone from the quail legs, leaving the larger drumstick bone in place. Take a little of the remaining stuffing and push it into the cavity from where the bone has been removed from the 4 thighs.
7. Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof frying pan and fry the breasts and legs for 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer the pan to the oven and continue cooking for about 10 minutes, or until the quails are just tender. Remove the quails from the pan and keep warm while you make the sauce.
8. To make the sauce, pour the red wine into the same frying pan, and reduce by half. Pour in the quail stock and cook down until it has reduced by half again.
9. Stir in the tomato and basil, season to taste and leave on one side while you make the batter.
10. For the batter, sieve the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl, and add enough water to make a slack batter. Divide the mixture between three bowls. Add the beetroot extract to one, the chlorophyll to the other, and leave the third bowl plain.
11. Heat the oil in a deep fat fryer to 150C.
12. Dust the quail legs with a little flour, and dip in the plain batter. Drizzle with the beetroot-coloured batter and green chlorophyll batter. Deep fry in hot oil for 3-4 minutes, until crisp.
13. Arrange the cooked quail breasts and fried legs on a serving plate. Reheat the sauce and drizzle over the meat. Accompany with piped rosettes of celeriac puree or mashed potato, and crisp savoury biscuits such as Parmesan tuiles.

The Office of Freight Management and Operations sponsors economic research on the benefits and costs of transportation improvements and the development of new and better methods for making investment decisions. Research and analysis undertaken by FHWA are highlighted here.
The Freight Benefit/Cost Study project has gone through three phases of development. Phase I focused on developing the theory and logic. Phase II determined the sensitivity of a firm to infrastructural investment on a national level. Phase III established the approach, sensitivities and data inputs required to calculate long-term benefits of highway-freight infrastructural investment on a regional level and will investigate the construction of a tool for state and local entities to estimate additional benefits derived through logistics rearrangements from highway performance improvements.
The Highway Freight Logistics Reorganization Benefits Estimation Tool estimates total benefits associated with highway investment by establishing a relationship between elasticity of demand with respect to highway performance, elasticity of demand with respect to price, a set of other region-specific variables, and the conventionally measured freight benefits resulting from travel time savings and other user benefits.

There's currently no cure for frontotemporal dementia, but there are treatments that can help manage some of the symptoms.
Before treatment starts, your current and future health and social care needs will be assessed, and a care plan drawn up.
This is a way of ensuring you receive the right treatment for your needs. It involves identifying areas where you may need some assistance.
Medication can't stop frontotemporal dementia getting worse, but it can help reduce some of the symptoms for some people.
The medications for Alzheimer's disease aren't effective for frontotemporal dementia.
It may also be helpful to get in touch with a support group, such as Rare Dementia Support, the Alzheimer's Society or Dementia UK.
This may include ensuring your wishes are upheld if you're not able to make decisions for yourself.

In this seventh post for the State Violence Research Network blog, Jessica White, history PhD Candidate at the University of Manchester, discusses public commemoration of council housing tragedies (or the lack thereof), particularly in relation to the Grenfell Tower disaster. Jessica is also presenting at the ‘From the State to the Streets’ conference, being held between April 10th and 12th. For information on how to register for the conference, and on how to submit a blog yourself, see the links at the end of the post.
Two years ago, I was asked to work as a waitress for a breakfast event in a recently-completed office block in the Square Mile, the financial district of London. It was a steamy June day, and ordinarily when working in these curtain-walled buildings, I would exploit the opportunity to see the spectacular views of London. On this day, however, instead of looking outwards to one of the most diverse cityscapes in the world, I was staring at the smoking remnants of the Grenfell tower block out to the West, whose fire was put out only hours ago.
It was an unforgettable image and one that I will never forget. It is only in retrospect that I am able to acknowledge the contrast between the pristine, mostly unoccupied office block where I stood and the overcrowded, underfunded high-rise in an ailing area of West London. While funding is being withdrawn from council housing across the country, private companies are pumping cash into these unimaginative glass towers. With the relaxing of height restrictions in the City since the ‘90s and the heaving financial and commercial success in the borough, these office blocks are being erected incessantly in the race to build the tallest building in the country. But it’s not just height that private developers are chasing. There is fierce competition over potential leaseholders, and developers are crafting new ways to expand their target market beyond the financial sector, which has traditionally dominated the Square Mile. For instance, the Leadenhall building (AKA the Cheesegrater) is currently home Black Sheep, a craft coffee shop, which would have been a rather off-brand move in the early noughties. This is no doubt a tool to market the office-space to trendy, creative types who might otherwise be tangled up in a co-working space in Shoreditch. By attracting a triumvirate of financial, commercial and creative industries, skyscrapers in the City are concentrating wealth in a tiny, non-residential district, sucking it away from everywhere else in the country.
There has not been much headway with regards to reparations for Grenfell. Recently, detectives suggested that any charges of manslaughter and corporate manslaughter in relation to the disaster may not be made until 2021. Elsewhere, a Dispatches investigation on Channel 4 examined the extent to which the London Fire Brigade’s ‘stay put’ policy is to blame for the number of deaths during the Grenfell fire. This latter example has helped to bolster a much broader tendency to systematically forget the previous failings of the British government in relation to social housing since the previous century, and place the blame elsewhere. The Grenfell disaster, while tragic and shocking, is not the first of its kind.
There is a long list of tragedies within British social housing which are a result of failed State action. In 1968, a gas explosion in Ronan Point tower, Newham, led to the partial collapse of the 22-storey building, killing four and injuring seventeen. The Ronan Point Disaster was so shocking that housing blocks above twenty storeys were subsequently banned. In 1974, in the Hulme Crescents in Manchester, a young boy fell off a balcony and died after minimal safety measures were put in place on the estate. From then on, Manchester City Council deemed the Estate unsafe for children and in turn rehoused those residents with two or more children. Even a decade later in 1985, a police raid into the home of Cynthia Jarret (in a search for her son) on Broadwater Farm Estate, Tottenham, shocked her into having a fatal heart-attack, triggering the Broadwater Farm Riots. The psychological violence inflicted on housing estate residents must also be noted. In the 1950s and 1960s, women, especially single mothers, across the country were being prescribed medication and sleeping tablets to help them overcome their depression. Many of these women had been rehoused in post-war slum clearance schemes and minimal transport links meant that these women were often immobile, voicing feelings of loneliness, boredom and isolation. So prevalent was this depression that it became known as ‘Housing Estate Neuroses’. Of course, it is unfair to stigmatise social housing as simply an arena for deprivation and catastrophe; it goes without saying that the experiences of post-war housing estates vary from person to person and region to region. In fact, my current research seeks to give a voice back to those tenants living on the Crescents, who are often stigmatised in the media and academic research. The Crescents were home to an abundance of community activism and solidarity, offering a balanced and ‘positive’ view of life within British social housing.
At the same time, accusations that the London Fire Brigade is largely to blame for the deaths at Grenfell mask the continued institutional failings of post-war social housing. There seems to a collective amnesia, which has meant that once more, the real culprits – politicians, urban planners, architects, housing managers and private developers – are simply let off with a first warning. Why are social housing tragedies forgotten in public memory, but terrorist attacks and the World Wars continue to be commemorated (sometimes obsessively so)?
An explanation for this forgetfulness can be uncovered through exploring the function of collective remembrance. It is often argued that as a collective, as a ‘nation’, we commemorate tragic incidents in order to prevent them from happening again, hence why ‘lest we forget’ is branded across war memorials across the country. If this is the true purpose of collective remembrance, then it would imply that we do not commemorate social housing tragedies because we simply do not care about them happening again.
The true purpose of collective remembrance is mostly political. For instance, Remembrance Day is not simply a publicly-instigated activity, but a political tool engineered by the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in society to serve their needs. While I acknowledge that commemoration of the World Wars can be a nod to those who sacrificed their lives for a better cause, the function of Remembrance Day is to legitimise war and to reinforce the boundaries of national identity. Simply the repetition of Remembrance Day in November and the sporting of the poppy are invented traditions that create solidarity among members of an ‘imagined community’. Compare Remembrance Day with World AIDS Day (1st December), which receives nowhere near as much publicity as it once did in the ‘80s, ‘90s and early noughties. There was once a political motivation to don a ribbon and show sympathy with the AIDS epidemic: it allowed New Labour to appear as liberal saviours in contrast to Thatcher’s homophobic blindness that prevented her from acknowledging AIDS for almost 4 years. However, in 2019, as HIV and AIDS are no longer considered death sentences, World AIDS Day has lost much of its emotional weight and appeal to the State. Meanwhile, Remembrance Day is still as popular as ever as it continues to benefit those in power, unifying the State with the public and preventing any potential resistance to its hegemony. As a result, the annual commemoration gives the State the license to carry out fracking, to bomb Syria and to provide weapons to the Middle East.
Collective memory has a political purpose, and it is for this reason that social housing tragedies are not commemorated and often fade into the past, going unnoticed. It is the reason why the Square Mile continues to see an abundance of construction, while council housing across the country fails to see a penny of investment. To acknowledge previous social housing tragedies would draw attention to government failings and the dwindling funding being pumped into the public sector. Since the 1960s, both Labour and Conservative governments have been guilty of privatising public housing stock and reducing the construction of affordable homes. For all parties, to publicly remember the tragedies listed above would locate the inherent cracks in our so-called ‘benevolent’ welfare system, questioning the State and the co-dependent relationship they hold with the British population. It serves no party’s political aims to recollect the long list of deaths associated with social housing and to prevent them from happening again.
I am not suggesting that we begin commemorating every tragedy that befell upon social housing residents during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Instead, politicians, developers and housing managers need to be held accountable, not the London Fire Brigade. At the moment, the most feasible way of holding these criminals to account through international bodies such as the EU and UN. However, in the long-term there needs to be a radical overhaul of housing in this country, whereby housing is maintained and held together by parties without financial or political interests. This is an idealist vision and is certainly easier said than done. But as long as social housing is used as a tool to leverage votes, capital and power, it can have no sustainable future in Great Britain.

Independent Cllr Paul Mitchell will not run in the local elections this May.
“I have made my mind up. I have done ten years. They say you have three careers and I have had two so far, teaching and politics,” said Cllr Mitchell, who plans to write books for children.
“I always made up stories for the kids as a teacher. I have lots of stories and poetry in my head, some are down on paper, but I never went as far as looking for a publisher, politics kept me too busy,” he said.
Cllr Mitchell, 55, was teaching at St Patrick’s BNS when elected as a Progressive Democrat in 2004.
He found the system of local government frustrating.
“When I went in I was going to change the world, but the system is there for hundreds of years. To get a road fixed could take three years. It is slow moving but then it is public money being spent,” he said, adding that being chairman of Laois County Council in 2012 was the highlight of his political career.
He retired from teaching five years ago, and with the disbanding of the PDs, was reelected as an independent.
He is disappointed that he couldn’t get jobs into Port.
“We got no help from the IDA. The town is just waiting for an entrepreneur to come in and set up, it has everything going for it,” he said.
He also fought in vain to stop flouridation of water.
He is not optimistic about changes to local government.
He encourages young people to get involved in politics, hoping his sons will one day take up the challenge.
“I believe that instead of sitting on the hedge, you get out and do something. Politics can be a very exciting life,” he said.

When some of the world's most powerful telecommunications companies exert political power in states across the country, small businesses and residents lose out.
Across the country, state legislatures have created barriers to community involvement in expanding internet access.
If you are interested in hosting a screening of the capstone video, please email Smith@DividingLines.org or fill out the contact form on this page.
1. Spread the word. Bring these issues to the attention of your family, friends, and colleagues. Tweet, post, and share the series. The more people who are aware of the crisis that is internet access in America, the closer we will be to closing these divides.
2. Join the growing number of organizations, public officials, researchers, and community activists who are deploying these videos in their ongoing work at the intersection of technology and public policy.
3. Make internet access a voting issue. Policymakers across city, state, and federal government have the power to change the status quo.

Education is ever-changing, and with the field evolving now perhaps faster than ever, there's also never any shortage of books covering the latest trends and issues in the profession. With the holidays on the horizon, it's the perfect time to catch up.
In recent months, a number of books on topics ranging from charter schools and education in the inner-city to flipped and personalized learning crossed the Education Dive desk. There's a little something for everyone at all levels of education, so here's a rundown of each.
In A Light Shines In Harlem, journalist Mary C. Bounds chronicles the story of New York's first charter school, Sisulu-Walker Charter School in Harlem. Founded by equity fund manager Steven Klinsky, the school underwent a number of challenges, from gaining approval and applicants to establishing curriculum and finding enough space to operate — which is where minister Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker, a close friend of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., came in. Walker allowed the school to initially operate in his church's community building.
Ultimately, the school's success following its opening in 1999 helped fuel the education reform and charter movements, so this book is crucial reading for anyone on either side of the fence.
Originally published in 2012, Teacher as Architect lays out a framework for utilizing blended learning and tech-based curricula. This second edition, released in June by the International Society for Technology in Education and ModernTeacher Press, builds on that model for implementing a blended model, touching on the Common Core State Standards, assessment building, and popular learning theories like the direct instruction, constructivist, and inquiry-based approaches. It also lays out a blueprint for designing blended curriculum.
Everyone entering a new profession can probably use some help and some words of encouragement. In You Can Do This, Robyn Jackson — a former teacher and school administrator who now heads professional development provider Mindsteps Inc. — provides both in a clear and concise manner, sharing her own personal stories while detailing best practices and warning about bad advice and other pitfalls in a grounded, personalized manner.
Another ISTE publication, Personalized Learning makes the case for how K-12 administrators, tech coordinators, and teachers can use technology to improve education for students ranging from the gifted to those with disabilities. Addressed in the book are different practices for learners at varying grade and ability levels, how to conform those practices to standards like the Common Core, and case studies and tips on hot topics like bring your own device (BYOD) policies and one-to-one learning. Additionally, the book includes a section of forms, surveys, and checklists for yourself, peers, and students. Perhaps best of all: At just under 200 pages, it's a quick, concise rundown of what you need to know.
Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon?
Much has been made of the Chinese education system's successes when compared to the U.S., particularly when it comes to math, reading, and science scores among the 34 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development nations. In Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon, Yong Zhao, presidential chair and director of the University of Oregon College of Education's Institute for Global and Online Education, tackles the pros and cons of America's obsession with mimicking China's education system. Zhao, who was born in China and also taught there, details how the nation's parents, educators, and leaders hate its education system despite its ability to produce some of the world's top students. Why? In part, it's because the process hinders these students' creative thinking abilities. That makes Western schools extremely attractive to them. Another must-read for anyone on either side of the debate, the book makes the case for, at the very least, finding a middle ground that utilizes the best of both systems.
As the cover states, Flipped Learning is meant to serve as a companion to Bergmann and Sam's 2012 book, Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day. Educators might not necessarily need to backtrack and read that previous work first, though — the first several chapters define and detail the flipped learning model, along with its benefits and misconceptions. The larger chunk of the book, however, focuses on the stories of 10 educators in subjects varying from English to biology and the paths they took to flip their classrooms. At just over 160 pages, it's another quick read that will bring you up to speed on one of today's hottest ed trends.
Exemplifying the ever-changing education technology landscape, this second edition of 2010's Web 2.0, published in July, builds upon the tools and apps listed in the original. From mobile apps, tools from tech giants like Google, and visual learning tools to blogs, social media, and wikis, no digital learning stone is left unturned here. It's not enough to just list flashy tools and briefly explain what they are, though — Solomon and Schrum also break down when it's best to use a particular tool, who is using it, how to use it best, and where to find other resources, as well as providing practical examples. For additional reading, see the duo's 2007 book, Web 2.0: New Tools, New Schools.

The President discusses the state of the economy amidst positive signs from the GDP. Making clear that this is little comfort to those struggling, he notes that we appear to have averted an even worse disaster and offers hope for the time ahead.
WASHINGTON – In this week’s address, President Barack Obama said the newly released GDP numbers are an indication that the Recovery Act is working, but that long–term investments in innovation are needed to ensure our nation’s long-term economic growth. By training the highest skilled workforce in the world, reforming the health care system to free business from spiraling costs, and building a green energy economy, we will create a new foundation that will encourage the innovation needed to move America forward.
Today, I’d like to talk with you about a subject that I know is on everyone’s mind, and that’s the state of our economy. Yesterday, we received a report on our Gross Domestic Product. That’s a measure of our overall economic performance. The report showed that in the first few months of this year, the recession we faced when I took office was even deeper than anyone thought at the time. It told us how close we were to the edge.
But it also revealed that in the last few months, the economy has done measurably better than expected. And many economists suggest that part of this progress is directly attributable to the Recovery Act. This and the other difficult but important steps that we have taken over the last six months have helped put the brakes on this recession.
We took unprecedented action to stem the spread of foreclosures by helping responsible homeowners stay in their homes and pay their mortgages. We helped revive the credit markets and open up loans for families and small businesses. And we enacted a Recovery Act that put tax cuts directly into the pockets of middle-class families and small businesses; extended unemployment insurance and health insurance for folks who have lost jobs; provided relief to struggling states to prevent layoffs of teachers and police officers; and made investments that are putting people back to work rebuilding and renovating roads, bridges, schools, and hospitals.
Now, I realize that none of this is much comfort for Americans who are still out of work or struggling to make ends meet. And when we receive our monthly job report next week, it is likely to show that we are continuing to lose far too many jobs in this country. As far as I’m concerned, we will not have a recovery as long as we keep losing jobs. And I won’t rest until every American who wants a job can find one.
But history shows that you need to have economic growth before you have job growth. And the report yesterday on our economy is an important sign that we’re headed in the right direction. Business investment, which had been plummeting in the past few months, is showing signs of stabilizing. This means that eventually, businesses will start growing and hiring again. And that’s when it will really feel like a recovery to the American people.
This won’t happen overnight. As I’ve said before, it will take many more months to fully dig ourselves out of a recession – a recession that we’ve now learned was even deeper than anyone thought. But I’ll continue to work every day, and take every step necessary, to make sure that happens. I also want to make sure that we don’t return to an economy where our growth is based on inflated profits and maxed-out credit cards – because that doesn’t create a lot of jobs. Even as we rescue this economy, we must work to rebuild it stronger than before. We’ve got to build a new foundation strong enough to withstand future economic storms and support lasting prosperity.
Next week, I’ll be talking about that new foundation when I head to Elkhart County in Indiana – a city hard hit not only by the economic crisis of recent months but by the broader economic changes of recent decades. For communities like Elkhart to thrive, we need to recapture the spirit of innovation that has always moved America forward.
That means once again having the best-educated, highest skilled workforce in the world. That means a health care system that makes it possible for entrepreneurs to innovate and businesses to compete without being saddled with skyrocketing insurance costs. That means leading the world in building a new clean energy economy with the potential to unleash a wave of innovation – and economic growth – while ending our dependence on foreign oil. And that means investing in the research and development that will produce the technologies of the future – which in turn will help create the industries and jobs of the future.
Innovation has been essential to our prosperity in the past, and it will be essential to our prosperity in the future. But it is only by building a new foundation that we will once again harness that incredible generative capacity of the American people. All it takes are the policies to tap that potential – to ignite that spark of creativity and ingenuity – which has always been at the heart of who we are and how we succeed. At a time when folks are experiencing real hardship, after years in which we have seen so many fail to take responsibility for our collective future, it’s important to keep our eyes fixed on that horizon.
Every day, I hear from Americans who are feeling firsthand the pain of this recession; these are folks who share their stories with me in letters and at town hall meetings; folks who remain in my mind and on my agenda each and every day. I know that there are countless families and businesses struggling to just hang on until this storm passes. But I also know that if we do the things we know we must, this storm will pass. And it will yield to a brighter day.

Healthsens is developing Prostatesens®, a portable device that will allow to quantify, in a single drop of serum, all the biomarkers associated with prostate cancer. The device consists of a tri-immunosensor, composed of three electrodes for the simultaneous determination of free PSA, total PSA and [-2] proPSA. This device will develop a measurement protocol to calculate the PHI (Prostatic Health Index), a parameter that indicates the presence of tumors, its stage of development and degree of aggression. The use of the PHI is legal in Europe, the USA (approved by the FDA) and Australia. To this date, Healthsens has sensors that are capable of an accurate quantification of free-PSA and total-PSA (two out of the three necessary ways to calculate this index along with the [-2] proPSA).
The Prostate Health Index (PHI), which has recently been approved in the United States, Europe and Australia, is a mathematical formula that combines the values of total PSA, free PSA and [-2] proPSA. Many international studies have consistently shown that PHI outperforms its individual components for the prediction of prostate cancer. PHI also predicts the modality of progression during active surveillance and provides a non-invasive way for selecting and monitoring this patient population.
Prostatesens® will analyse the concentration of total PSA, free PSA and [-2] proPSA in a minimum blood sample and will report directly on the PHI.
Specificity, prevents overtreatment and overdiagnosis of the disease.
Direct and quick quantification (less than 30 min).
All these characteristics signify that Prostatesens® can be used to perform the population screening of prostate cancer in a simple, safe and valid way, significantly reducing overtreatment and overdiagnosis of the disease. Given the simplicity of the device, population screening could be performed in primary care health centres by non-specialised personnel.

CONSTRUCTION has commenced on what’s set to be one of Brisbane’s largest and most innovative hotel-based conference facilities.
The Hotel Grand Chancellor Brisbane has teamed up with construction company Rohrig, to build the Cottee Parker designed function centre.
The facility will feature 11 function rooms over two levels and make use of the area’s natural lighting.
Queensland area general manager Peter Yared says the development will offer a new and unique hotel-based conference option in the city.
“No other hotel will be able to offer such a venue with the flexibility that we will have,” Yared says.
Hotel Grand Chancellor Brisbane will have a make-over to complement the new facility, including the expansion of the lobby and the addition of 36 rooms.
The 4.5-star hotel provides 194 guest rooms and is located opposite the Roma Street Parklands.
Yared says the investment into the hotel’s design and facilities will make it a top choice for consumers.
“We will be looking to offer a 5-star function facility at 4-star prices, which will obviously be a big drawcard for the centre,” he says.
Hotel Grand Chancellor Brisbane’s new conference facility is expected to open in April 2015.

Can you write your will by hand in California?
On behalf of Seaman & Seaman, A Law Corporation posted in Estate Planning on Friday, January 11, 2019.
If you have an elderly relative who is a California resident, you may worry that their handwritten will might not hold up in court. The good news is that our state recognizes the validity of holographic -- handwritten -- wills.
On behalf of Seaman & Seaman, A Law Corporation posted in Estate Planning on Wednesday, October 31, 2018.
When designer Kate Spade and chef Anthony Bourdain passed away earlier this year, they each died living apart from their respective spouses. The fact that they were separated had a significant impact on the administration of their estates.

I have always felt like I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to food, but I recently learned about preservatives and discovered I’d been giving them an unfairly bad rap. I didn’t know what benefits they provide – but now I do, thanks to a Q&A from ConAgra.
Why should we preserve our food?
How can we preserve our food?
Antioxidants help prevent oxygen from damaging other molecules. Antioxidants function in the body to help protect cells, and they function in foods to protect oils from damage that leads to rancidity.
Be sure and take a minute to check out this video – it’ll give you great insight into what keeps our food fresh.
What do you think the most common misconception is among consumers regarding preservatives in foods?
A misconception I most commonly see is that preservatives are unnecessary and harmful to your health. When in fact, preservatives such as antioxidants are really necessary to reduce off-taste and odors in foods caused by breakdown of cells, fats and oils.
What are the trends we are seeing with consumers and their concerns about the ingredients in their food? Are these valid concerns? Why or why not?
Concern over the food we provide to our families is always valid so I want to make that point initially. And I applaud all the ladies on the phone for looking at this and considering it. I think it’s very important for us; however, I do see a lot of misinformation out there regarding food ingredients in the media, and I’m concerned that the public isn’t aware of the benefits, data and time spent to support their safety.
If there are natural antioxidants available, what is the need for man-made antioxidants?
Natural antioxidants often times impart a flavor, a taste or even an odor to foods, so they are not always the best choice for us if we want to maintain the high quality of flavors that our consumers love. So we look to man-made antioxidants that are tasteless and colorless and odorless at the low levels used in food to maintain those flavors.
Preservative-Free is a major buzzword on food labels. Why is that if they are healthy for you?
There are actually many different types of preservatives. Today, we’re focusing on antioxidants and what we know about antioxidants is that they’re very safe for use in food based on the available science.
Kristi: As far as the healthfulness, we know that all preservatives in foods are safe. When one is misinformed and you start hearing all these things about words you can’t pronounce and are told to look for a clean label and those sorts of things, then there becomes a consumer demand for things like “preservative free”. As a company, we often times respond to that consumer demand, but it doesn’t mean we’re making a change that was health based. It’s simply making a change that is consumer demand based.
What is the difference between antioxidants and preservatives? Is it because antioxidants sound more consumer-friendly? Is there an actual difference or are they the same thing?
There is actually a difference. The difference is that preservatives identify all compounds used to preserve food with different functions. So some preservatives are used to reduce bacterial populations in food. Antioxidants are specific to oxidized damage. An antioxidant is actually a type of preservative.
The biggest thing to take away from all of this?
This was actually a lot of info I didn’t know and very helpful. Great resource for anyone wanting to know more about preservatives!
Wow, most I had no idea about before – great info post here! Antioxidents are so good for the body!
Thank you, this great information on antioxidants. I had no idea about alot of this information, especially about the man made antioxidants.
What an interesting post. I must admit that I do not know a lot about preservatives or antioxidants but I did think that preservatives were bad for you.
This is all new information for me, thanks for sharing! As a mommy to a toddler with food sensitivities I spend a lot of time reading food labels and will be interested to see where I can spot the above ingredients.
This is a ton of great info! I didn’t know most of it, but I’m glad to be educated!
I really had no clue. So much great info. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting! I didn’t know a lot of this! Seems like things you should though. Thanks!
I always thought preservatives were bad with added chemicals we do not need and that fresh was better for us. Great article keeping your readers educated!
I never knew a lotof that about a preservaltives. I was always under the same/impressions.

The most common types of turtles in the Florida Keys are the Loggerhead, followed by the Green sea turtle, Hawksbill and Kemp’s Ridley.
We spotted this Hawksbill turtle just off Key Largo Dry rocks whilst we were conducting a debris clear-up on Sunday 28 November. Key Largo Dry Rocks is in the John Pennekcamp State Park. This fella was not to far from the Statue of Christ. You can see from the video we surprised him a little during his snacking. We were careful not to get too close to him or disturb him too much. After a few moments he seemed to feel that we were no threat to him and continued with is snack. This is the way we like to video our wildlife, so they do not feel threatened, we could have got closer but the chances are he would have been disturbed too much and swim off.
We see a number of different types of sharks in Key Largo, mainly Reef Sharks, Nurse sharks and some Bull sharks.
There are however visitors to our shores that are a little larger. Great Whites are known to move up and down the east coast of the US from Maine to Key West. If you want to see progress of these magnificent creatures go to the Ocearch website who track a number of great whites in Florida. This site also tracks turtles!
Heres some footage of a nice reef shark on Molasses reef in July 2017. This guy kind of surprised us more than we surprised him! We had just got into the water and were still under the boat when he came to investigate. Once he realized we were not food he swam off!

Access undertakings increase certainty for all parties and minimise the potential for access disputes to arise by establishing the principles that will guide negotiations.
The owner of a facility that provides declared services or services which may be declared can submit an undertaking to the Queensland Competition Authority for approval. Once the Authority has accepted an undertaking, it must resolve any disputes in accordance with its terms, although parties can depart from the terms of the undertaking if they agree to do so. Conduct of the owner that is in accordance with an approved undertaking will be deemed not to breach the preferential self-dealing provisions of the Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 .
Before accepting a draft undertaking, the Authority must publish it and consider submissions made by interested parties. The Authority must also consider the legitimate business interests of the owner, the interests of those seeking access and the public interest. The Authority may take into account any other matters it regards as relevant.
See Industry pages for details of actual access undertakings.

Vern Herrst is three states and several hundred miles into his seven-state, 2,200-mile horseback journey to Michigan.
Reunion rider Vern Herrst is now three states and several hundred miles into his seven-state, 2,200-mile horseback journey to this summer's 50-year Howell High School reunion.
He's picked up a friend along the way, too.
"A dog has been following me for the last 40 miles or so," Herrst said during an on-the-route phone call from western Montana. "I picked him up outside the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. I don't know if he's somebody's dog or a stray, but he's pretty horse savvy and he's been following right along."
His new friend, who Herrst named Traveler, even curled up next to him a few nights ago when rider, horses and dog bedded down in a barn.
Herrst, 67, left his Washington state home April 23 and has been traveling 20-25 miles a day along U.S. Highway 2, often near the Canadian border, on his trip back to Howell. The trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity the cancer survivor acknowledges might never come his way again.
"It's been pretty good so far, and I've met some wonderful people along the way," he said. "I've also seen some wonderful scenery."
He entered Montana through the Kootenai National Forest several days ago, passing from the Pacific to the Mountain time zone in the process.
In addition to venturing past the massive reservation — a slice of land larger than Delaware — he's skirted the southern edge of Glacier National Park. Near the park, he journeyed through the Marias Pass, a high mountain opening that straddles the Continental Divide.
Though he likely won't reach Michigan until July, Herrst is currently running ahead of schedule. His rapid progress to date even allowed him two unscheduled rest days.
"I took two days just to give the horses a little extra rest," Herrst said. "Another day, I couldn't ride because of the weather."
In addition to his own horse, Nikki, Herrst is bringing a pack animal along with him.
Bad weather forced him off route one other day, but Herrst said rain and snow haven't been big concerns to date. Cold temperatures have, however.
"It's only in the 30s here, it's just like winter," he said Thursday. "And it might snow tonight."
That's a worry for someone who's been sleeping out under the stars at points along his journey.
His new buddy might not be with him much longer, either. A post to Herrst's Facebook page appears to indicate the dog has an owner and has been known to travel miles from home and then return.
Yet for Herrst, new friendships — however brief — are all part of the adventure and bad weather is far from the biggest challenge he's faced.
Herrst's ride represents a victory lap in his battle against myeloproliferative disease, a blood disorder similar to leukemia. It is also a fundraiser to support the agencies that helped him fight the illness. He hopes to raise $1 per mile — or more — on behalf of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Washington/Alaska Chapter.
You can help, and learn more about his trip, by visiting his Facebook page, 2016 Great Northern Horse Adventure.

Your job as a enterprise growth supervisor is to determine gross sales leads, pitch items or companies to new clients and keep an excellent working relationship with new contacts. Regardless of the company, enterprise improvement tends to carry the identical structure, which I sketched up rapidly under. Business growth managers can polish their skills by learning for qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) or the Institute of Sales and Marketing Management (ISMM) who provide a wide range of courses in gross sales and advertising. It might be onerous to decide if and when to make use of varied enterprise development companies. You will get a sheer idea about how much a candidate should get based on the job position.
Secondly, however maybe more importantly, the enterprise developer should have the ability to take a holistic perspective, use his/her intuition when analyzing results, and present proof of creativity and ingenuity when synthetizing data in order to conclude which subsequent steps the enterprise ought to take. You want to determine as to who what you are promoting is concentrating on (teenagers, younger adults or aged).
From the start of firms by means of incubators and seed accelerators, to boosting progress for small and medium firms by means of second stage enterprise accelerators, to advising company giants by means of management consulting firms, enterprise development represent an necessary ingredient any phase of the company life cycle. As a consequence, there is a larger need for hospitality and tourism professionals with business management expertise. Part of business development is convincing other folks to do certain things, comparable to providing assistance, reducing costs, or making investments. They are concerned about realizing and judging about each and every side of a enterprise.
The enterprise growth group is accountable then for promoting new business in an uncharted surroundings. Their role is to determine companies that have synergistic business fashions and would complement the host firm. Unless it is particularly requested, and it is related to the job at hand, keep your appearance out of it. I am presently doing my MBA and I am selecting up electives which should assist me in working on the enterprise side of tech. First, search for the talents required for a given job to see whether or not you’ll be an excellent fit.
The similar applies for those who find the capability or expertise for enterprise development do not already exist within your small business. This is a good factor to do and advantages the enterprise as effectively, however on the identical time, it may well become hectic as many things may require the undivided attention of yours. Throughout the program you may be taught from business leaders and educators while using state-of-the-art labs and business case research to enhance your expertise.

Welcome to Week 14 of High/Low, a look at the highest and lowest spreads and totals on every NCAA football game on the weekend. Last week I put a 3-1 mark and now stand at 28-24 for the year. All NCAA football odds courtesy of BetOnline.
It's the end of another dismal season for Kansas. The Jayhawks showed a bit of fight there briefly under interim coach Clint Bowen, who replaced the fired Charlie Weis when Weis was dumped after a 23-0 home loss to Texas on Sept. 27. Kansas has won just a game under Bowen, beating Iowa State by 20 on Nov. 8, but KU but the fear of God in then-No. 4 TCU on Nov. 15 before ultimately falling 34-30. Last week Kansas was routed 44-7 at Oklahoma. Bowen probably won't get the full-time job, but an upset here certainly would boost his case. It's KU's finale and thus essentially the school's bowl game. Kansas would love nothing more than to knock KSU out of the Big 12 race. KSU could still win the conference outright if TCU loses one more game and the Wildcats win this one and then next week at Baylor. KSU has won five straight in this series and 10-1 at home against Kansas under Bill Snyder.
NCAAF free pick: Kansas even though all the sportsbook trends favor K-State. Here's hoping this NCAA football odds rises a half point. Kansas State could be caught looking ahead to Baylor and only win by three touchdowns or so here.
This is a neutral-site game Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. I believe the highest spread I've seen this season was 80. Can't believe this didn't top that. Baylor leads the nation in scoring at 50.0 points per game and has scored at least 45 in all but two games thus far. Texas Tech is almost indescribably bad on defense, allowing 40.6 points, which is 126th in the country. TCU scored 82 on the Red Raiders. Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Oklahoma all had at least 42. Central Arkansas scored 35 on Texas Tech! The Red Raiders throw it all day so they are capable of scoring a few points of their own, but they also turn it over and don't give their defense much rest in some series. Last year, also in Arlington, Baylor won 63-34. There were 41 points scored in the first quarter alone.
NCAAF free pick: 'Over.' It has hit in the past four meetings. It is 7-1 in Texas Tech's past eight neutral-site games.
I generally only include NCAA football picks for Saturday games in these stories but because there are many Friday games on the holiday weekend they are part of the mix. This game is Friday at noon. How motivated will these teams be? Both had their Big Ten Championship Game dreams ruined by Wisconsin in the past two weeks. The Huskers were blasted by the Badgers 59-24 in Madison on Nov. 15 and then upset at home last week by Minnesota 28-24. It ended the Gophers' 20-game road losing streak to ranked teams. It also moved Nebraska one defeat from a seventh straight four-loss season. Coach Bo Pelini might not survive. Iowa might be flat because it lost 26-24 at home to Wisconsin last week. The Hawkeyes had rallied from a 19-3 deficit but couldn't get the ball back after closing to within 2 with 5:01 left. Iowa won 38-17 at Nebraska last season.
NCAAF free pick: Iowa. The Huskers have failed to cover the NCAA football spread in four straight Big Ten games. Iowa has covered six of its past eight.
The winner of this Friday game is bowl eligible, while the loser's season is over. Virginia Tech was part of my lowest total last week, which was 40 at Wake Forest. It was my easiest win of the season and third 'under' victory on the offensively terrible Demon Deacons in 2014. Wake and Virginia Tech literally set offensive football back about six decades as the Deacons won 6-3 in double overtime. Yes, you read that score right. It was scoreless entering overtime, the first FBS game to be 0-0 at the end of the fourth quarter since 2005. Virginia Tech had just 254 yards, went 3-for-15 on third-down conversions and had three turnovers. The Hokies needed overtime to extend their school-record non-shutout streak that dates to 1995. Tech has topped 17 points once in the past five games. Virginia isn't quite as inept offensively as Tech as the Cavs scored 30 points last week in home win over Miami to end a four-game skid. It was only the second time this season UVa topped 30.
NCAAF free pick: 'Under.' It has hit in eight straight Virginia ACC games and seven of Virginia Tech's past eight. It is also 4-0 in the past four meetings.

Nilakkal will be made the base camp for pilgrims during the 2018-19 mandalam-makaravilakku pilgrimage season at the Ayyappa Temple in Sabarimala, Devaswom Minister Kadakampally Surendran said on Tuesday.
The decision was formalised at a meeting held to review post-flooding reconstruction of Pampa on the foothills and measures to restore amenities in and around the hill shrine.
Private vehicles will be permitted only till Nilakkal during the season. The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation will operate 250 buses from Nilakkal to Pampa during the season which commences on November 16. During the season, only temporary amenities will be provided at Pampa.
The state government has commenced a reconstruction project in and around Pampa which was battered by the flood last month. Bridges and pilgrim facilities have suffered severe damages. Personnel of Tata Projects Limited, entrusted with the reconstruction works, are in Sabarimala. Power supply in the region is yet to be restored. The Health Department is set to commence restoration work at the government hospital in Pampa.
The government has sanctioned Rs 200 crore for repairing of roads leading to Sabarimala. A meeting of chief ministers and devaswom ministers of south Indian states will be called to review preparedness ahead of the season.

Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) was a Finnish composer. Born in the Russian Grand Duchy of Finland, Sibelius' music (of the late Romantic period, and partly inspired by the idea of romantic nationalism) was to play a significant part in the formation of Finnish national identity after the country's transition from Russian Grand Duchy to independent state in 1917. Despite having been born into a Swedish-speaking family, Sibelius was sent to a Finnish speaking school. Before what was effectively a retirement from composition in the final 30 years of his life, Sibelius composed prolifically, utilizing a wide range of musical forms.
His oeuvre includes seven symphonies, 21 pieces of choral music, over 100 songs, an opera (Jungfrun i tornet), incidental music for 13 plays, chamber music, piano music, masonic music, a number of tone poems and what is perhaps his best-known work, the symphonic poem Finlandia - the Finnish national anthem. He had an unfulfilled ambition to be a concert violinist - he did however write one of the great violin concertos.
The influences of Richard Wagner and Anton Bruckner are readily apparent in Sibelius's orchestral writing, as well as the structural influences of the earlier sonata allegro form in his symphonic pieces. However, Sibelius remains unique and distinct for his virtuosic demands on performers, flare for the dramatic, willingness to experiment, and sometimes simple, beautiful melodies constructed from just two or four notes. The influence of Sibelius on Bela Bartok and Krzysztof Penderecki is unmistakable.
Sibelius' music has frequently divided critics: whilst many have written in enthusiastic support of his music, he has been heavily criticized by many others, including the composer and philosopher Theodor Adorno and Virgil Thompson. French composer René Leibowitz once notoriously called Sibelius "the worst composer in the world". Celebrated recordings of his music have been made by Vladimir Ashkenazy, Simon Rattle and Leonard Bernstein, among others.

This is no mere prescription to heal what ails the preacher’s performance. Cressman invites nothing less than the renewal of the art of preaching in our time through the renewal of the preacher’s soul for the sake of the Gospel. Through the integration of one’s own life and spirituality into this vessel called a sermon, Cressman invites each reader and practitioner to discover that we ourselves are Good News.
Instead of being a routine task on the checklist, sermon prep transformed you into the very word of God you preach?
Instead of being a drain, the process itself renewed you?
Instead of feeling inadequate to convey your message, you developed skills that made you confident to preach?
This Book shows you how.
By integrating your life and spirituality with the practical skills necessary for effective preaching, you can move beyond the boredom, stress, or insecurity of preaching so it is no longer you who preach but Christ who preaches in you.
*If you purchase the book through Amazon.com, a small percentage supports the ministry of Backstory Preaching. Thank you!
Plant the ideas and skills taught in Backstory Preaching: Integrating Life, Spirituality, and Craft deep in your soul with this interactive workbook.
Downloadable and printable, the companion workbook is filled with exercises to help you reflect, plan, and make lasting, meaningful change.

After you’ve poured yourself out through Holy Week and Easter, here’s our guided retreat for you and the Risen One. You don’t even have to leave home to enjoy it. It’s structured for your choice of ninety minutes, three hours, or six. Enjoy every slow, quiet minute of it.
What might happen were we to learn a few more notes of God’s song of resurrection? What few notes might we add to our own song of being healed, set free, unafraid? And then, what might happen were our new notes to be sung from the pulpit?
One of the most challenging and time-consuming aspects of sermon planning is finding a good sermon illustration—or latch—for your sermon. How do you find one that truly resonates without spending hours and hours searching? To that end, I’ve created a 5-step guide to finding your latch. You’ll learn an efficient and effective process you can use every week to find a sermon illustration that connects (steps 1-4 take only 4 minutes total!). Click through to learn more!
There is a temptation, I feel, during seasons like Lent, Holy Week, or Advent, to lose our own way of communicating God's truths, in favor of covering all of our theological bases. We sometimes wish to be right more than we wish to be ourselves in the pulpit. One can do both. But it all depends on the words we choose.
We preachers often wonder whether our words have any effect. The people we preach to and the world around us pretty much look the same week after week. It doesn’t often look like the Good News has caught fire in people’s hearts. It doesn’t look like the reign of God is being built. For all our efforts to preach the Good News, how come it looks like nothing much is changing?
Preaching through lent requires significant theological knowledge. What do you know? What don’t you know? How do you know? Using this 4-step process, discover your gaps in knowledge so you can prep more efficiently and effectively for honest sermons that capture the true nature of God.
This is the most intensive season of the year for priests and pastors. With Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, multiple services for Easter, plus extra Lenten parish educational activities, there’s a lot to prepare for. Before you feel overwhelmed, though, let’s do a quick review to remind ourselves what will help your sermon prep—and all your preparations—to be holy, from your heart, and as efficient as possible.
Let’s be honest: The observation of Lent is often reduced to artificially somber and ritualistic practices of self-denial without an honest, whole-hearted attempt to genuinely experience the flow and meaning of the season. The “practices” undertaken involve simply giving up chocolate or wine. That’s suffering for Jesus, for sure, but what does it accomplish if we’re not focused meaningfully on what we should be? So I’d like to suggest that in our preaching, we shake things up a bit. Let’s preach a countercultural Lent.

Twitter has rolled out “Ads Transparency Centre” that will allow consumers all over the world to verify who is touting on its website, the micro blogging platform claimed this week in a blog post.
The new transparency techniques will allow consumers see and search for who is purchasing ads, with even more information on political ads campaign of the U.S. federal that comprises ad spend, billing data, demographic targeting information, as well as impression information per tweet.
“Everybody all over the world will have authorization to the Ads Transparency Centre. No Twitter account or login will be needed, making it very easy for users to have obvious details and insight on who is touting on Twitter,” GM at Twitter for Revenue Product and Engineering, Bruce Falck, to the media in an interview.
To see the ads from any advertiser, consumers can just search for a particular handle and view the creative for entire ad campaigns that have operated within the past 7 Days from that handle.
“On the other hand, if an ad is taken down after being reported on Twitter, it will be tombstoned within approximately 24 Hours in the Ads Transparency Centre. If the account was banned, Tweets will not be seen in the center. The same implies to deleted tweets and users,” Falck claimed.
Twitter will also include a disclaimer information and visual badge on any ads for political campaigns of the U.S. federal. The firm claimed that it will roll out a more precise policy in the future for issue ads, and aims to improve the center itself.
On a related note, Twitter confessed that the number of spammy accounts has been rising radically. In fact, previous month the firm verified the number of such accounts close to 10 Million being created weekly. This is a sharp increase from the amount of 3.2 Million spammy accounts that were witnessed in September 2017.

Serve these side dishes alongside your Turkey for a delicious, healthy, low carb Thanksgiving feast!
Cook the cauliflower in boiling water until soft. Remove from the heat and drain well.
Let all the steam escape, otherwise, you will get soggy mash.
Add butter, garlic, or any other optional flavors to taste and puree with a stick blender with the blade attachment until smooth.
If using bacon and cheese, stir through after the mashed cauliflower is smooth, rather than blend with the stick blender.
Divide the asparagus stalks into 4 bundles. Tightly wrap one slice of bacon around each bundle.
In a small bowl mix together the butter, garlic powder, brown sugar, and pepper.
Arrange the asparagus bundles on a baking sheet and drizzle the butter mixture over the top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is crispy. Serve, sprinkled with parsley if desired.
Fry the bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel lined plate to soak up some of the oil. Set aside.
Drain most of the bacon fat from the pan, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons for added flavor (adjust this amount to your liking).
In the same pan, melt the butter, then add the Brussels sprouts and season with salt and pepper. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and cook while stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes. The edges should start crisping and slightly charring.
Add in the garlic and stir it through the sprouts for a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the cream, reduce heat down to low and allow them to simmer until tender (another 3-4 minutes).
If the cream is too thin for your liking, add in the cornstarch slurry, stirring it through immediately, until combined.
Add the bacon in and give everything a good mix to combine all of the flavors together. Top the sprouts with the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
Bake until cheese is bubbly and sprouts are done to your liking (about 15 minutes).
Season with a little extra pepper, if desired, before serving. You can also sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, thyme or rosemary.
Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 9-inch casserole dish.
In a medium bowl combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
In a large bowl combine the eggs, melted butter, sour cream and liquid stevia. Whisk until full incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet in two batches as you combine.
Fold in the cheddar cheese and chopped up baby corn. Transfer to a casserole dish and bake for 37-40 minutes.
Allow to cool for 15 minutes and slice into 12 pieces.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a draft strategy designed to help reduce administrative and regulatory burden on clinicians caused by the use of health information technology (health IT) such as electronic health records (EHRs).
The draft Strategy on Reducing Regulatory and Administrative Burden Relating to the Use of Health IT and EHRs was led by the HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), in partnership with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and was required in the 21st Century Cures Act. The draft strategy reflects the input and feedback received by ONC and CMS from stakeholders, including clinicians, expressing concerns that EHR burden negatively affects the end user and ultimately the care delivery experience. This draft strategy includes recommendations that will allow physicians and other clinicians to provide effective care to their patients with a renewed sense of satisfaction for them and their patients.
Stakeholders have indicated to ONC and CMS that when they use their EHRs, clinicians have to rely on checkboxes, templates, cut-and-paste functions, and other workarounds that hinder the intended benefits of EHRs. Clinicians have reported they are spending more time entering data into the EHR, leaving less time to interact with their patients. Required documentation guidelines have led to “note bloat,” making it harder to find relevant patient information and effectively coordinate a patient’s care.
The public comment period on the draft Strategy on Reducing Regulatory and Administrative Burden Relating to the Use of Health IT and EHRs ends on Monday January 28, 2019 at 11:59:59 PM ET.
“All of us share the responsibility to improve how we treat the nation’s patients, and we now have the opportunity to work together to find solutions to reduce burden associated with the use of EHRs so clinicians can spend more time with their patients,” said Rucker.

Home News HSUS supporter introduces bill in N.Y.
HSUS supporter introduces bill in N.Y.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Legislators in New York introduced a new bill that would prohibit the confinement of breeding pigs, veal calves and egg-laying hens by 2015. New York State Assembly member Linda Rosenthal, D-Manhattan, introduced the bill.
Rosenthal has served in the assembly since 2006 and has been a supporter of the Humane Society of the United States for many years.
She recently helped the organization use undercover cameras to target New York retailers selling mislabeled fur. In March, the society presented Rosenthal with a humane legislator award.
“[Rosenthal] has been an animal rights activist for a number of years, and this bill is another step in her commitment,” said Meghan Nutting, legislative director to Rosenthal.
Nutting said Rosenthal sponsored a bill similar to this one last year and has introduced many other bills related to the humane treatment of animals.
Although 10 other assembly members, most located in the New York City area, have co-sponsored the legislation, New York agricultural producers shouldn’t be too worried, said New York Farm Bureau Government Relations Director Julie Suarez.
“The bill has been introduced in legislation, but it must be voted on and passed in the agriculture committee,” she said.
This committee is chaired by William Magee, an auctioneer in Madison County, N.Y., who graduated from Cornell in agricultural economics. Magee said committee members are reviewing the bill, and a vote will probably not take place before 2010.
Magee said of the 22 other members of the agriculture committee, many have similar backgrounds to his and are well-versed in production agriculture.
Magee said, however, the bill provides an opportunity to re-evaluate New York’s agricultural industry.
“We want to protect farmers, but they should take a look at what they’re doing and see what they can do differently,” he said.
Although New York farmers may be breathing a sigh of relief for now, others aren’t so lucky. Similar action to this bill has succeeded in other states, such as the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act (Proposition 2) that was passed in California last fall by ballot initiative.
Reforms for so-called “factory farms” were also passed in Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Oregon.
Suarez said part of the reason the Humane Society of the United States and Farm Sanctuary have been so successful in other states is because the initiative and referendum process allows legislators to obtain signatures and support for a one- or two-sentence ballot that does not fully represent the entire proposed action.
Washington D.C. and 24 states, including Ohio, allow for these ballot initiatives.
Ohio agricultural leaders like White have been evaluating consumer education programs more closely since the February 2009 meeting between representatives from the Humane Society of the United States and Ohio’s livestock industry leaders.
White said the best way to counteract the efforts of the Humane Society of the United States and similar activist organizations is to emphasize that although farmers have a variety of production systems, they are all dedicated to caring for animals.
White said producers need to understand that even if the legislation does not pass, the issue still creates a buzz and initiates a ripple effect.
Ohio is the HSUS “target”. Hope fully the good citixens of the Buckeye state wil no fall to the same propaganda that Californians did. The animal rights industry is a force that bodes nothing but disaster for the people of the world. The HSUS is the richest animal rights industry in the world and yet they run NO shetlers. Their headquarters are restricted to vegan foods ONLY, which should send a clear message to the farmers and ranchers of the the USA. Their conferences, parties, “galas” and seminars are “vegan only”. Wayne Pacelle is a strict vegan.. and would like to see the rest of us follow him..
Seems that the New York Farm Bureau has lost its way a bit. It claims to speak for small farmers, but uses its political muscle to advance the interest of New York’s medium and large CAFOs. I imagine that many of New York’s small farmers (especially those that would never treat their animals so harshly) feel a bit duped at paying dues to support big agribusiness.

As we’re still early into this shiny new year, we'd like to continue pondering fresh starts, emerging opportunities and what being a landlord may look like in 2018.
All in all, the future of landlords - particularly in The Potteries - looks bright. And often, the more adaptable you are as a landlord, the more doors you stand to open.
That said, could making your property pet-friendly open up new avenues (or indeed your investment to a new, loyal demographic) as a landlord?
Consider this: According to a recent study, UK-based animal lovers were expected to lavish a whopping £750m on their pets over last Christmas. What's more, 76% of UK pet owners even said they give their pets a Christmas dinner every year.
But, despite this nationwide love for our furry friends, it seems that pet ownership has dwindled somewhat in recent years. In fact, at present, fewer households now own a pet, with just over half (56%) of those in the UK now owning one - down from 63% back in 2012.
Now, what's interesting is that among the host of reasons this drop in pet ownership might be, one key explanation is that more people are now renting rather than owning their own homes - and they are struggling to find places to live that will accommodate animals.
“One of the most common questions that we receive from dog owners is: where they find private landlords that will allow dogs? I know from personal experience that having a dog, or as in my case dogs, the choice of properties available to my family was severely restricted.
Accommodation suppliers who welcome dogs tell us that dog owners generally take more care of their rooms and their properties than non-dog owners - so it really is time for landlords to recognise that one in three households own a dog, which is a massive potential market too many landlords are still ignoring”.
So, will becoming a pet-friendly landlord open you up to a new, responsible stream of potential tenants that are likely to want a longer, more stable let? Quite possibly.
Spotting this gap in the market, build to rent company, Be, is aiming to accommodate those with close animal compadres by providing pet-friendly tenancies at its new be:here Hayes development down in West London.
If you already have a quality property (or properties) with ample space, advertising it as a pet-friendly home could increase your chances of sourcing top-notch tenants. Of course, there’s absolutely no obligation to be a pet-friendly landlord if you’re entirely uncomfortable with it, but if you’re open to the idea, by setting appropriate ground rules, you could well be onto something barkingly brilliant.
And of course, if you do decide to go pet-friendly and need a North Staffordshire property manager you can count on, drop us a line, we’re all ears.
While you're mulling things over, take a look at the first in our series of Rockett's Local Roundup to discover some of the weird and wonderful things that have been going on in the area.

While I like a lot of the Grateful Dead's studio work (live, not so much), everything Jerry Garcia did solo is just wonderful. Released in 1978, the album was not a huge commercial success, but it deserved to be and if you like any Grateful Dead, you'll love this disc. The cover is a black red, gold, and blue Egyptian-styled image that is so iconic you could see it on the leather jacket of a motorcyclist or as a brand logo.
