With Dakota Access Back in Court, Activists Ask (Again): Where's Clinton?
As Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protesters head back to court on Wednesday, U.S. presidential candidates' positions on the project (or lack thereof) are being thrust into the spotlight.
The three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is being asked to keep in place a temporary halt to construction while the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe appeals a lower-court ruling from September. The hearing was scheduled to begin at 9:30am Eastern, and Native News Online reports that it "may ultimately decide if the pipeline project moves forward."
"The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will not back down from this fight," said Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman Dave Archambault II, who will speak in D.C. following the hearing. "We are guided by prayer, and we will continue to fight for our people. We will not rest until our lands, people, waters and sacred sites are permanently protected from this destructive pipeline."
Meanwhile, Indigenous and environmental activists are looking to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for a sign of where she stands on the controversial project. Clinton has yet to state publicly whether or not she supports the four-state, $3.8 billion pipeline—despite longstanding calls for her to do so.
"We definitely need Secretary Clinton to make a statement on it," Bold Alliance president Jane Kleeb told The Hill on Wednesday. "We don't know where she stands, and we don't know where she stands on the general build-out of pipelines."
Though The Hill noted that Clinton's reticence may have to do with the labor movement's divided stance on this and other fossil fuel projects, May Boeve of 350 Action pointed out that she could reach other critical demographics by coming out strongly against DAPL.
"If Hillary Clinton takes a stand against it, she could demonstrate her climate leadership and fire up the young voters she's trying to reach," Boeve said.
Indeed, as 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben said last week on Democracy Now!: "She has so far refused to say anything about it. Let's hope that that changes, because this is not only a practical challenge, at this point it's a clear moral test."
While Clinton has been silent on the matter, Republican nominee Donald Trump's business dealings with DAPL speak for themselves.
According to a Greenpeace analysis published Tuesday, "Trump has deep financial and personnel ties to the pipeline."
Citing the real estate mogul's limited financial disclosures thus far, Trump has "between $500,000 and $1 million in investments in the primary builder of the pipeline, Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners," Greenpeace reported. "He also disclosed $50,000 to $100,000 in investments in Phillips 66, which would own one-quarter of the Dakota Access Pipeline once completed."
"What does it mean that Trump could personally profit off a project that tramples Indigenous rights and pushes us closer to climate disaster?" wrote Jesse Coleman, a researcher with the Greenpeace Investigations team. "For one thing—if Trump’s past investments are any guide—this project could well crash and burn, which would be a relief to the Standing Rock Sioux, the climate, and everyone in the path of this dangerous fossil fuel project."

A new recipe for apple pie can bring fame and fortune to a chef, but he still might not be able to sue other cooks who steal his idea. However unique, the recipe might not meet federal statutory requirements for an original creation that deserves copyright protection against infringement, or the illegal copying of another’s work. Recipe copyright laws are not firmly established, and professional cooks often freely duplicate each other’s recipes with or without attribution. Judgments against recipe thieves are rare, but you should seek advice from a copyright attorney before using someone else’s recipe in your restaurant, cookbook or blog.
Until the early 1960s, U.S. courts applied federal copyright laws to recipes. In 1884, a cookbook author who copied another writer’s recipes was found guilty of copyright infringement, and in 1924, a federal court ruled that recipes on a bottle label contained the artistic originality necessary for copyright protection. But this trend changed in 1963 when Melville Nimmer’s treatise on copyright law argued that most recipes were not worthy of copyright protection because their list of ingredients was predictable and their how-to steps qualified as procedural explanations not protected under the U.S. Copyright Act. Applying Nimmer’s analysis, any recipe for apple pie would not be original because it must contain apples as ingredients and give instructions for how to make a pie.
According to the U.S. Copyright Office, as of 2011, a recipe might qualify for copyright protection if it satisfies at least one of two conditions. First, it must have “substantial literary expression,” such as an author’s narrative about her Italian ancestors using ingredients from a backyard garden to make tomato sauce, or a compilation of sugar-free recipes assembled by a cook in an original manner. Second, the recipe must be in written form, although not necessarily published. Under either condition, copyright protection begins as soon as the recipe takes a tangible form; its author does not need to file a copyright application. Copyright duration depends on specific facts surrounding that recipe’s creation, but if it was created after January 1, 1978, the copyright usually will last for its author’s lifetime, plus 70 years.
Some legal scholars, such as law professor Christopher J. Buccafusco writing in the Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal, argue that recipe copyrights may conflict with the goals of U.S. copyright laws. He theorizes that individual chefs might stop experimenting in their fields out of fear they would unknowingly duplicate another chef’s creation. The goals of U.S. copyright laws are to promote learning, enrich the public domain and allow a creator of original works to enjoy financial success that comes from monopolizing the market for a limited time. But recipe copyrights could have the opposite effects because chefs and recipe developers might not be willing to prosecute recipe thieves who actually are helping to advertise a winning recipe through their copycat versions.
Under the U.S. Copyright Act, you can photocopy a favorite recipe from a magazine to prepare at home and defend yourself against charges of infringement by citing the fair use doctrine. That doctrine considers that the purpose of your use is non-commercial and unlikely to deprive the recipe’s creator of his monetary rewards. But don’t assume the fair use doctrine gives you blanket protection: author Cheryl Besenjack says in her book, "Copyright Plain and Simple," that the more copies of a recipe you make, the greater your chances of being sued for copyright infringement.
The Washington Post: Can a Recipe Be Stolen?
Gelf Magazine: Culinary Copyright: A Recipe for Disaster?
The book publishing industry is changing rapidly, but copyright laws continue to protect the rights of authors, whether their material is published on paper, online or as an e-book. Copyright protection gives authors, or the firms with whom they contract to publish their books, the exclusive right to distribute their works or create sequels for a set period of time. This helps to ensure that authors can make a living from their writing.

The forage harvester has been developed fairly recently for collecting grasses or other forage crops from the field in their green stage to be used later for making either silage or artificially (tried feed. Earlier models of a field forage harvester consisted of a stationary chopper-blower mounted behind a reciprocating mower or behind a pickup reel for collecting previously mown grass. Power to the chopper-blower was provided either by an independently mounted engine or through the power take-oil shaft of the driving tractor. However, these models have now been largely superceded by the modem flail-type forage harvester ' where the mower unit or the pickup reel and the chopper-blower are no longer used.
The principle of operation involves flails, or blades, which are hinged on a shaft or cylinder which rotates at a high speed as the machine is being driven forward. The flails cut the stationary vegetation by impact, in a manner similar to a hand-operated grass slasher or a conventional rotary lawn mower. Rotating at high speed, they also act as a fan and provide a draft of air and the necessary momentum for blowing the cut material up through an elevated exit spout. The shape of the spout directs the cut material into a trailer at the rear with the help of an adjustable end flap. The height of the cut is regulated by adjusting the wheels on which the machine is mounted. Some Hail mowers simply cut high grasses and leave them in the field to be raked or baled.
1. The full-width adjustable crop deflector bends standing plants over so knives can cut stems time to the ground. Once cut, the stems are conditioned by repeated light contact with knife edges, ensuring uniform, effective conditioning and soft, palatable hay.
A deflector at the rear slows down the speed of the plants and also fluffs and directs the hay down to the rear.
Cut and conditioned material falls gently on top of the stubble into a loose, fluffy swath or into a neat windrow of your selected width and density, depending on skield adjustment.
The Flail mower consists of a solid shaft with loosely kung, pivot-mounted blades rotating at high speeds. This creates a tremendous chopping action, pulling material in from the front, shredding it, and distributing it evenly over the field. The blades simply fold back when they strike rocks or debris, returning to a cutting position when the obstruction is passed over.
i lie modem forage harvester, built as a compact power take-off-driven unit, can perform the multiple operations of cutting, chopping, and loading green grass, dry hay, and other silage crops into a trailer in one pass over the field. It can also be used as an implement for the care of meadowland by cutting local concentrations of coarse grass and weeds, for distributing manure, and for removing molehills.

Henry VI – the last Lancastrian king, whose ineffectual rule led to the Wars of the Roses. Killed in 1471 following the death of his only son (Prince Edward) at the Battle of Tewkesbury.
Edward IV – Richard’s older brother, married to Elizabeth Woodville and father to Edward V. Ruled successfully but left a divided court behind in his wake which would prove fatal to his son’s succession.
Edward V – Richard’s nephew and the previous monarch, whom Richard usurped within months of his accession and then declared illegitimate. Edward and his younger brother disappeared from the Tower of London shortly afterwards, probably murdered on Richard’s orders.
Warwick the Kingmaker – a powerful noble in the Wars of the Roses who helped Edward IV win the throne and then helped Henry VI get it back, before ultimately coming a cropper at the Battle of Barnet.
Elizabeth Woodville – Edward IV’s widow and the mother of Edward V. She remained in sanctuary with her daughters after Richard’s usurpation but was persuaded to return to court in 1484.
Elizabeth of York – Elizabeth Woodville’s eldest daughter. As the eldest surviving child of Edward IV, her hand in marriage was a potential benefit both to Henry Tudor and Richard himself.
Henry Tudor – a relatively obscure Lancastrian exile of Welsh descent who becomes Richard’s primary rival following the rumoured murder of the princes in the tower. Henry’s victory at Bosworth led to his becoming Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch.
Margaret Beaufort – Henry Tudor’s mother who fought his corner vigorously in England. Her marriage to Sir Thomas Stanley proved vital in winning military support for Henry at Bosworth.
The Stanley Family – Sir William and Sir Thomas Stanley were originally loyal to Richard, but their support wavered as they increasingly sat on the fence between Richard and Henry Tudor, hedging their bets until the last possible moment.
The Duke of Buckingham (Henry Stafford) – Richard’s right-hand man in the usurpation but led an unsuccessful rebellion against Richard just months after Richard became king.
Henry Percy (4th Earl of Northumberland) – another one of Richard’s supporters whose lack of proactive support proved crucial in the Battle of Bosworth.
Earl of Oxford (John de Vere) – a Lancastrian veteran who had fought at the Battle of Barnet. He escaped to join Henry Tudor in exile and led his forces at the Battle of Bosworth.

The plain fact is that some project meetings can be very, very boring. It's not uncommon for members of a team to zone out through long sessions in a conference room. However, doing so can have a negative impact on your career. A meeting is usually organized by the project manager and he or she expects that all members of the team will attend and contribute to the discussions in a constructive manner, so there are expectations that you need to meet and if you do not pay attention or seem distracted during the meeting your supervisor and colleagues will notice. So here are the ways on how to pay attention in project meetings.
1. Get your sleep. Well-rested staff have a better chance of paying attention and really understanding what's going on, and the result can put you further ahead in your professional goals. Think about having a cup of coffee if you think it will help you to really focus in when things are going on in a meeting.
2. Make a list of your questions prior to the meeting. Taking your comments and questions with you will help you stay involved, which will give you a better chance of keeping your attention focused throughout the entire session.
3. Find a good seat. If there is a kind of "blind spot" in the back of the room, avoid this area and stick to places where you will have a good view of projected screens or focal points and where you can hear what is being said by presenters.
4. Keep the meeting on track with proactive comments and questions. Even if you don't have anything written down for a particular topic, you might be one of those people who rightly observes that a speaker is wandering, getting away from appropriate topics, or taking much too long to get across what he or she has to say. In these instances, you can do yourself and everyone else a favor by helping to focus the meeting, staying engaged and actively interjecting when appropriate.
5. Take notes during the meeting. Writing things down keeps you more engaged, and you'll come away with those choice bits of information that will help provide detail on future events or projects. It might help to file the notes that you take so that you have access to them if there's a scenario where they could come in handy.

SEOUL (Reuters) — General Motors' South Korean unit tentatively reached an annual wage deal with its labour union on Monday, averting a major strike at one of its key Asian production bases, a union spokesman told Reuters.
The management and labour union said they had agreed on the tentative deal, which includes a basic monthly salary increase of 83,000 won ($71.17), a bonus of 4 million won and a one-off payment of 6.5 million won.
In South Korea, which accounts for nearly one-fifth of GM's global output, GM labour costs have risen nearly 50 per cent over five years.

Symantec has released an update to its popular Norton SystemWorks to fix a security problem that could be abused by cybercriminals to hide malicious software.
In the PC-tuning application, a feature called the Norton Protected Recycle Bin creates a hidden directory on Windows systems. The feature is meant to help people restore modified or deleted files, but the hidden folder might not be scanned during scheduled or manual virus scans, Symantec said in an advisory released Tuesday.
"This could potentially provide a location for an attacker to hide a malicious file on a computer," Symantec said. The Cupertino, Calif., security provider is not aware of any attempts by hackers to conceal malicious code in the folder. "This update is provided proactively to eliminate the possibility of that type of activity," it said.
Symantec's alert has echoes of Sony BMG Music Entertainment's recent PC security fiasco. The record label was found to be shipping copy-protected compact discs that planted so-called rootkit software on the computers that played them. The rootkit technology also offered a hiding place for malicious software.
When the recovery feature was first introduced, hiding the directory helped ensure that a user would not accidentally delete the files in it, Symantec said.
"In light of current techniques used by malicious attackers, Symantec has re-evaluated the value of hiding this directory," the company said in its advisory.
Security monitoring company Secunia rates the issue "not critical." Symantec itself deems the risk impact "low."
Symantec credits Mark Russinovich, the Sysinternals researcher who also investigated the Sony rootkit, and F-Secure, a Finnish security company that has a rootkit detection product, for helping it address the SystemWorks issue.
The Norton update will display the previously hidden "NProtect" directory in the Windows interface, which will allow it to be scanned by antivirus products, Symantec said. The new version is available through the Symantec LiveUpdate service. Installing the software will require a system reboot.

Self-compassion leads to all over greater well-being- lesser anxiety and depression, better coping skills, and more compassion towards others.
Self-compassion is extending compassion to one's self, in instances of failure or general suffering. Self-compassion recognize that personal failure is part of life, and entails being warm towards oneself when encountering personal shortcomings, rather than hurting oneself with self-criticism.
Do not confuse Self-compassion with self-pity, which is a state of mind where a person believes to be a victim of a situation, lacking the confidence and competence to cope.
How would you treat someone else if something bad happened to them? What would you say and how would you treat them? Do the same to yourself.
Pay particular attention to your thoughts and the words you use to speak to yourself. Would you say these words to someone you care about?
Acknowledge your emotions and let them go. No one is perfect, nor do You need to be. When you experience stress, anger, and fear, allow yourself to feel whatever you need to feel and then let it go.
Keep a caring eye on your most important needs, and give yourself the permission to do more of what brings you energy, and less of what drains you.
Stay positive trough self-talk and compliments to yourself.
Your thoughts influence the way you approach life.
Many people think you are not realistic if you think positively. They have been so in the groove of negative thinking that they battle to see the good in life. If you think positively, you make a conscious choice to focus on what really matters. Positive thinking will make you grateful, and you will always see the good in any situation. It will help you to embrace your past rather than to blame it, and look forward to the future, and not against it.
"All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast." (Proverbs 15:15) If you have a negative view on life, you will experience every day as "bad" or somber. But, if you focus on positive things, you will "have a merry heart" and be full of joy. The choice is yours.
Complimenting yourself, speaking positive to yourself and surrounding yourself with positive people; these are all ways you can build towards self-love. The more you take in positive stuff, the less you will be dragged down.

The notable Windows IT Pro blogger that stated last month the new Xbox reveal would be delayed has released more speculations about the new Xbox. Now Paul Thurrott of WinInfo blog says that Microsoft is planning on an early November 2013 release, reports OXM. Thurrott originally revealed that the next Xbox reveal would be pushed from April 24 to May 21. He believes that the reveal date was moved back in order to better compete against the Playstation 4 announcement in February. The next console will be “based on the “Core” version of Windows 8″, Thurrott suggests, using the apps platform that the Windows Operating System boasts. It will also include a Blu-Ray drive.
Thurrott also states that two different models of the new console will be available at release. The first, priced at $499, will be a full version of the console. The second version of the console will be sold at $299, but will require the buyer to make a two-year Xbox Live Gold commitment. The price per month for XBox Live will be around $10 per month.
Of course, we remind our readers that this is all speculation, but as we get closer to the reveal date of May 21, we expect details to continue to trickle until the reveal event. Three weeks later, XBLAFans will be at E3 to cover Xbox Live Arcade games as well as the new Microsoft console.
Next Xbox: Better with Kinect…Blu-ray, persistent online and game activation codes?

Poor Jared Nusthorpe (Harper Parson). It’s the technical rehearsal of his play and EVERYTHING is going wrong. His stage manager Janet (Jordan Erxleben) is Army trained and runs the stage like an operation. The school’s principal Mrs. Dinsmore (Bailey Kohlleppel) casually drops by to watch the rehearsal and offers lots of suggestions. Then there’s OZ (Andrew Kohlleppel) his smarty pants tech guy who just can’t quite seem to get it together. Add in a cheerleader (Kendall Gardner) who’s standing in for her boyfriend, a know-it-all senior (Rafael Estala) cast as the star, and two actor wannabes Anne (Yaretzi Mercado) and Clarence (Jacob Hicks) and you have a full blown disaster waiting to happen. Join DMS OAP on Thursday, November 29, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. in the Devine Student Activity Center. Admission is free but donations will be graciously and gratefully accepted.

One chair. Bored with chair. “New” chair. Love this chair.
My fabric is Sunbrella Sail Cloth. LOVE IT! It cleans up so easily.
If you too need a chair makeover, it doesn’t take long to have some slip covers whipped up. Go for it. It’s kinda like the paint of the wall world: little commitment needed.

As you see in the title, I am sometimes bored of reading blogs about writing service.
Do you know 'writing service'? It's like a cheating way to do essay task or final project in academic institution such as school, university, or college. I'm just wondering why people do such a way to do their essay. Do you know why?
I'd like to share a piece of information to dear new members or members who haven't known how to report an issue in MyEC yet. Hope you read this blog attentively.
The United Nations just released its second World Happiness Report, which ranks countries according to happiness levels. Nordic countries are at the top this year, while the U.S., Egypt, and Greece are all more disgruntled than they were in years past.

Today I’m going to share some tips on being a good roommate. I’m super lucky that I have a great roommate who has taught me a lot about being a nice roomie, myself, and of course, Mom gave me lots of common-sense tips to share as well.
Share the duties. Both of you are responsible for shared places, like the kitchen and bathroom. You (or your roommate) shouldn’t be doing all the cleaning by themselves.
Be friendly! A smile goes a long way.
Do some “roomie” things together if you have it in common. If you both like movies, why not visit the local cinema for a special Roomie’s Night Out? Or maybe cook a fun dinner together. The options are really endless!
Help your roomie out once in a while. If he/she is swamped with homework, offer to do the vacuuming or wash the dishes. Your roomie will really appreciate it, and will probably do the same for you when you’re stuck in your room, cramming for exams.
Use common sense. Would you like it if your roommate blasted loud music at night? Or left water all over the counter around the sink? Or if he/she borrowed your things without asking? Nope.
Clean up after yourself. No need to become a neat freak overnight, but do keep in mind that your roomie lives here as well. This means putting your dishes away after they’re dry, wiping the table, and sweeping crumbs away once in a while. No one wants to live with a sloppy person!
Respect your roomie’s privacy and personal space. Super important if you are sharing a little apartment unit, or even a room.
COMPROMISE! No explanation needed here.
At the same time, be firm on important matters. You want to defend what you believe in, and your roommate should (and will!) respect your principles.
Communicate! Text messages, phone calls, even handwritten notes work well.
Be generous and forgiving. Everyone will have that moment where they just forget to take the hair from the drain or don’t have time to wash all the dishes in the sink. It doesn’t matter! A broken plate or a missed bus shouldn’t ruin a great friendship.
Hope your niece and her roomie figure things out!
I had lots of good roommates when I was in university and after 45 years am still in touch with three of them. Special people.
You have such an outgoing personality, I’m sure you’ll make lots of good friends.
I’m super nervous about rooming with someone else when I go to college! It’s just about liking my roommate and seeing if she’s a good person!
Oh definitely! But my mom told me that sometimes a good friend may not be a good roommate. You never know! But if she is considerate and a nice person, it’s definitely not a problem at all!
you are so lucky having such a great roommate.. Tell her I love her and thanks her to be your roomie.

Our philosophy is simple. Provide the very best service to our customer base on their unique situation. So what does that entail? For estate sales, we ha ve a proven process. First of all, we stage and clean a house to give the customers a vision. People need to see how furniture or household items can be app lied in their house. Then we heavily research items to find value in today’s market. If we find an item with significant value that needs a national or inte rnational audience, we will broker or offer that in an national or international setting. (The week that I wrote this, I found a music box at a house we wer e conducting an estate sale and sold it online to someone in Austria for $1,600.00. In this business, it is vital one can research not only the value of an item but also the correct avenue to sell that item. This in essence is Schows, Estate Sales’s speciality.) Once the items have been researched, priced, and stage, the next step is advertising. We use several highly effective internet and print advertising campaigns to get those customers to the house. The day o f the estate sale we have a courteous and knowledgeable staff to insure the success of your estate sale.

Technology offers the CLO myriad enhancements in the pursuit of optimal learning and development delivery. For instance, the learning management system (LMS) initially was created to encourage efficiencies in necessary but cumbersome administrative processes that can slow down the learning process and consume unnecessary resources therein. Then the LMS naturally evolved and adapted its capabilities to provide benefits for an organization’s external customers, as well as its employees. Fidelity Investments uses its Web Benefits system in just such a way, educating customers and assisting them in directly applying that learning to their portfolios.
Fidelity began its LMS journey about five years ago as a way to speed up the work of its education consultants. These consultants work in the field, traveling to educate plan participants on 401(k) plans for which Fidelity is the plan administrator.
To cater to both audiences, Fidelity’s proprietary system, which allows participants to go in and look at their account, was integrated with an LMS complete with intuitive logic that allows users to get specific plan education.
Planning resources and easy, click-the-tab learning mingle with online tools, workshops, calculators and educational content for a wide range of audiences. Learning offerings address the needs of everyone from the novice investor concerned about debt or getting started on the investment road to the experienced participant who is looking for specialized advice on estate or college planning.
Williams said the LMS serves multiple key purposes. One is that it provides seamless integration of security or protection of privacy along with easy-to-access, specialized information that’s promoted through banner ads, Web-rich e-mails and other communications. Posters, wallet cards and other promotions explain availability and use of the e-learning catalog or learning portal. The LMS tracking function monitors educational options and resulting policy changes and other usage around behaviors. That information is then used to change content offerings in response to participant needs. Surveys also provide feedback on the individual financial plans, as well as the quality of the learning experience.
As with any learning intervention, initially, users can be skeptical — Williams said it was a little tough to get data at first because participants were evaluating the new system and looking for hidden agendas. Now, however, he said Fidelity clients are embracing the Web Benefits system.
The LMS allows Fidelity to provide truly interactive education. Within its e-learning catalog, self-paced education is available in conjunction with an action learning experience in which users are privy to investing prompts or links that enable them to immediately make portfolio changes.

The kitchen and dining space of a 1969 treehouse in Portland, Oregon was remodeled by Bright DesignLab into a bright, multi-functional space for a couple who wanted to elevate their dining experience. The space was described to initially have three distinct areas, influencing them to merge contemporary architectural elements that tie together to design a large, cohesive space.
The kitchen exhibits an all-white motif, from its clean white walls that stretch up to the European white modern cabinetry. Hints of brass were added throughout the space for depth, like the cupboards’ brass pulls with a knurled texture, mounted on a rectangular backplate. They connected 2 light segments of our THIN Surface Mount Display Light in Satin Brass and installed it as central under-cabinet lighting to cast a warm glow on the Carrara marble.
Black accents were distributed throughout the minimalist white kitchen to contrast the solid brass lighting and cabinet pulls while making a bold statement. The plumbing hardware by California Faucets is tinted in matte black, a popular style in modern interiors for its sophisticated appeal and also a strategic design that rids of evident fingerprints, especially in culinary spaces.
A concrete central island connects to a dark-toned countertop with slender, symmetrical legs, adhering to the linear profile of the space. They also customized organic-shaped bar stools to diffuse sharp lines and indicate a relaxing atmosphere when owners decide to transform the kitchen into a space beyond its purpose.

Significant progress was made over the summer for the construction projects at DePaolo Middle School and Kennedy Middle School and the transition into the upgraded buildings has been going smoothly as the new school year has recently started.
According to the middle school principals, the students have been able to transition fluidly because of the teachers.
The buildings were open to teachers the weekend prior to school starting and many of the teachers took their last bit of summer to go in early and prepare their classrooms.
Chris Palmieri, assistant principal of DePaolo Middle School and Town Councilor, also credited teachers for their hard work in transforming unfinished rooms into functional classrooms at the Town Council meeting on Sept. 8.
Palmieri shared pictures of what the classrooms with unfinished floors and ceilings looked like before and after the teachers came back to school and transformed them.
Town Council Chair Michael Riccio, who has a child in one of the middle schools, said that as a parent he was pleased that he could physically see the transformation of the schools.
Riccio also said that he has not heard much from his child about the ongoing projects, because it has not been disrupting the students every day classroom routines.
“Seeing the finished parts of the building gives everyone hope,” said Pepe.
Steve Madancy, principal at Kennedy Middle School, said that the projects will not be completed until August.
Madancy explained that the school has managed to adapt. Some teachers moved into finished renovated spaces, while others moved into unfinished classrooms and made due with that space.
“The teachers absolutely stepped up and went above and beyond,” said Madancy.
Other than the teachers, Madancy credited the Newfield Construction team for getting the buildings ready for the students to come back to school.
“A lot of progress occurred over the summer and the kids were excited coming in and seeing how different the building looked,” said Madancy.
Pepe said that the changes surprised the students in grades 7 and 8 the most, because they saw the buildings last year and didn’t entirely know what to expect.
Thus far, parents have been reacting positively to the changes that they can see in the buildings from outside as they pull in to drop their children off.
The middle schools held an information session for parents and the public regarding the renovation project, prior to school starting. In addition, the middle school’s Open House is this week.

Do I have to tell the courts about family violence?
Yes. You must tell the courts of any relevant family violence orders and file a copy of any family violence orders as they may affect the court orders, particularly orders about a child spending time with a parent or other person. The courts must make sure that orders do not expose people to family violence.
If you do not tell a court about a family violence order, it may unknowingly make a parenting order that may put the person who has been granted the family violence order or children named on it at risk of violence.
When a court knows about a family violence order, it can make parenting orders that take the order into account. For example, it can arrange for an independent person to be present during hand-over times or order that the time the child spends with a parent or other person takes place at a children's contact centre.
Can I bring a support person or friend to a conference or other court appointment?
If you are not legally represented, you may have a friend or support person attend a court conference or other court appointment with you. The extent of a support person's involvement in the conference/appointment will be at the discretion of the registrar or family consultant conducting the conference/appointment.
If you have a friend or support person with you, they may sit at the back of the courtroom. Children and young people under 18 are not permitted in the courtroom.
During a hearing, parties who are not legally represented may be allowed to have a support person sit with them. The extent of the support person's involvement in the hearing will be at the discretion of the judicial officer.

Love this. I set my makeup with it and it gives my skin a healthy glow. Bonus is that I started to use this in my hair as a shine spray. I try to avoid silicone hair products and I had read about diy aloe detanglers. I came across this in my stash and saw that the first ingredient was aloe vera gel and also noted how simple the ingredient list was. so I sprayed it into my damp hair and got a beautiful shine without the greasy look! and my hair smelled faintly of roses. I am obsessed with this.

There are so many things that a person has to get used to after going through a divorce, and for some, the simple task of eating alone can be one of them. There are probably a lot of people out there that know very little about cooking and can’t stand the taste of their food while others are fantastic cooks but hate to eat alone. Whichever it is, with a little practice and patience you can and will overcome.
Eating alone after divorce requires a person to feel comfortable with themselves and the fact that they are alone. This can be eating at home or in public. As each day passes we become more and more independent, and things begin to get easier. However, it can be uncomfortable at times. The key thing to remember is that it takes time.

The Tiplix organisation was founded in 2009 and that’s given them some time to become established across the net. The good news for UK players is that British accounts are welcomed and although there is a strong, mainland European theme here, there is plenty for everyone to enjoy.
Licensed in Malta, Tiplix also give some great value for money and that all starts with their welcome offer.
When you open a new account at Tiplix you can claim a welcome deal that can earn up to 100 Euros at the top end of the scale. It’s not a match on your first deposit but a match on your first bet so it works a little differently to most offers out there and as such, it’s important to check all terms and conditions.
The first step however is to register a new account so do this with some basic information. Once this has been carried out, stake from anywhere on the sportsbook on a single event with odds of 2.0 or greater and Tiplix will match that by 100%. In order to claim any profits from this bet, you must rollover the stake amount 40X.
At present there are no ongoing offers for new customers but that could all change so keep watching the news feeds for updates.
While the range of sporting markets is more designed for the mainland European market, all the popular options, with the exception of horse racing, are here for UK punters. This is the full list.
Soccer, Ice Hockey, Tennis, Basketball, Handball, Baseball, American Football, Darts, Boxing, Golf, Cricket, Volleyball, Floorball, Curling, Motorsports, Bandy, Table Tennis, Rugby, Snooker, Aussie Rules, Water Polo, Cycling.
Tiplix also publish a specials market which covers all the weird and wonderful options from the worlds of politics and entertainment while esports can be accessed via a separate link.
Without Tiplix appearing on the main odds comparison sites it can be tricky to assess their competitiveness but by checking a random sample of markets, they are strong in most areas but particularly in German football which is something of a speciality.
Skrill and Neteller kick things off as far as eWallets are concerned and that is how many of us like to fund, if we’re not using our bank. But, there is a much wider set of options too with PaySafeCard, Thawte, EPS, Wirecard and Sofort joining the list.
Of course, if you prefer, you can also fund your Tiplix account with any of the main debit and credit cards so the full set of options is covered here.
The help options are a little hidden away and aren’t necessarily where you would expect them to be. When you do click on them, they are a little sparse too and it might be a problem for UK players to see some of the information in German.
However, the dedicated customer service email is easy to spot and the FAQs are in English. Overall, it’s an area that could be improved but in terms of functionality and ease of navigation, what is here is helpful and efficient.
While some may see this as a mixed review in some areas, there are definitely more positives in the Tiplix set up. Firstly, there is that welcome deal which may be a little different to a straight matched deposit but it remains a generous offer with its 100 Euro limit.
Prices are competitive everywhere and while customer service options could grow and appear with some loyalty offers, there is still lots to enjoy on this particular sportsbook.

This weekend we felt really in shape when we participated in the 5K run in Andong. We had to get up early on our weekend, so really, that was harder to do than then 5K. It was my first race so I was excited to see what it was like and weren't disappointed! We arrived at the university stadium to see serious Korean runners all around us preparing for the run. There was also a 10K and a full marathon going on that day, but I didn't want to show everyone up so I just did the 5K (yeah right).
In the middle of the stadium, I was amazed by the hundreds of people doing organized stretching as a man yelled different commands from a microphone. I don't know if we could ever get a group of 10 people this uniform in America, let alone hundreds. A lot of people were pretty excited that foreigners had taken the time to come run the race, but it was another moment where I became extremely aware of being the minority among the masses.
We ran with a group of EPIK teachers, like our friends Garry and Monica who came from Pohang (a city about 2 hours away). We felt awesome as the race started and we ran out of the stadium to "Eye of the Tiger" being blasted on a speaker...it almost felt like home! Danny and I were lucky enough to get numbers for the race thanks to some of his fellow Korean teachers helping us to get organized. One of them saw Danny pass him in the race so somehow by Monday the rumor had spread that Danny had won the race! He quickly had to tell his school that he didn't in fact win the race, but we still felt like champions!
After the race, we received medals and water and these little cake things that looked like faces with a cream filling and then in proper Korean fashion, the craziness began. It feels normal to see mascots walking around, and usually you expect some sort of big headed animal, but Koreans like to be a bit different so they had vegetables and fruit walking about. I luckily got a picture with these melon heads and it made me feel great because it reminded me of my nephew, Dante...I love ya little guy!
Danny became good friends with the mascots as well and found that he couldn't stay away from the gigantic mushroom walking around.
There were booths handing out all kinds of free stuff outside the stadium, but my favorite part was the 4 or 5 large barbeque pits grilling a large quantity of beef and pork. It was some of the best meat I have had, but I was amazed that people said, "Let's get up early on a Sunday, go run a marathon and then gorge ourselves on meat!"
Danny had found a few of his students in line waiting to eat their weight in pork, and whether or not he had won the race, they were very impressed that he came out to run among the people. Come to visit just so you can have the feeling of being famous like we get most days. All in all it was a great day, and we hope to do it again.
We took our first train ride to Yeongju where we went to hang out with our friends David and Sarah and have our first run in with No Rae Bong.
I had heard about No Rae Bong on a travel show before I came to Korea, but I had no idea what it really was all about till we came here. No Rae Bong is Korean Karaoke... but if you imagine what American Karaoke is like and picture it in Korea, you have only skimmed the surface of No Rae Bong. NRB is a countrywide obsession and Danny and I live actually live above one. We can hear an old man singing his heart out 6 out of 7 nights as we fall asleep and let's just say he's no Billy Joel. That doesn't stop Koreans from singing though, they sing if they sound like Celine Dion or if they are tone deaf. Danny and I were lucky enough to have our first experience with NRB when we crashed the birthday party of a random Korean girl named Subin, and these are some of the pictures.
Paul, Jennifer and I going to our first Jimdak place...yum!
Everyone's shoes in a big pile outside the eating area in the restaurant.
Andong's famous JIMDAK! The plate of food is the size of a large pizza so it is a lot of food and 4 or more people can easily split 1 order.
A little while ago, we went to eat the food that Andong is famous for: Jimdak. What is Jimdak you might ask? Well it is tons of chicken, boiled with potatoes, carrots, peppers, and “glass” noodles (which are basically thin, clear noodles) and then covered in some sort of spicy brown sauce that will make you feel like your mouth is on fire. Strange food is everywhere in Andong, so when we tried Jimdak, I was a little worried about what it tasted like but thankfully I was pleasantly surprised. Jimdak is now the best Korean food I have had so far and I’m glad that there are so many places to eat it.
I am definitely getting used to eating Korean food ALL the time, and it is actually growing on me. Korean restaurants are a bit different though and I will tell you how. The majority of restaurants you will go to will make you take your shoes off before you climb into the raised room where the floors are heated and you sit on mats on the floor. It can get very uncomfortable if you have to sit for a long time, but most Koreans don’t ever seem to mind and they can do it for hours. Usually there aren’t any napkins at your table and if there are, then they are like tiny pieces of tissue paper that Americans would have a fit over. Also you only drink water out of tiny silver cups (Dixie size) and Koreans for the most part hardly drink any water at all…mostly just Soju (Korean sake). (Grandpa you would fit right in since you don’t like water ; ) Also there are usually scissors served with the food because the meat is in large chunks and the server needs to kindly cut it up before you eat it. Everyone eats out of the same bowls so there is no evil looks for double dipping or anything else to do with germs. I thankfully don’t mind that, but I know some people who would…wink, wink. One wonderful thing about Korea is that you don’t tip so when you see the price of a meal, that is literally all you have to pay so that is nice. But that also means that if you want something you have to call the server over and remembering how I would hate it when people called me over at my old job, it takes some time to get used to that. And finally, you usually get a cup of coffee at the end of your meal but this time it is about half a Dixie cup so they can be sure that I won’t over indulge myself. Oh funny Korea.
All in all, eating out is usually CHEAPER than eating at home, which I was very surprised about but sometimes it’s nice to know what you are eating, you know what I mean? Danny and I keep trying to find different places and we hope that we become “regulars” at a few. Come visit us and you can try JIMDAK too!
Today’s word for the day is…coppee which means, you guessed it, coffee!
P.S. Today I made my Korean Students choose English nicknames and one wanted to be Leonardo DiCaprio, one wanted Brad Pitt, and one wanted God. When I told him I wouldn't call him God and he had to choose another name, you know what he decided? ...Tim. That is a little less powerful, wouldn't you say?
Andrew and a random excited Korean who wouldn't let go of his hand.
A random thing that we saw after church: this Korean flag was being put together out of post it notes in the center of downtown.
I have decided that the best way to deal with all the strange things that happen everyday is to laugh at them, and our first experience at a Korean church was no exception. Our new friend Andrew goes to a church here in Andong. He took us last Sunday and warned us about a few things, but left out some interesting facts that we found out after we had been there. There aren't any English speaking services in Andong, so obviously we wouldn't understand most of what was going on so sitting quietly and smiling was going to be our plan of attack. As soon as we got there though, we made quite a memory.
1. There is a great group of people here, even a few Christians, who have gone out of there way to welcome us. One in particular, Andrew, has made us feel so welcome by taking us on a walking tour to get to know Andong and to his Korean church. We have been able to hang out with them a few nights already and it really has kept us from getting lonely.
4. We know where the hospital is, just in case…don’t freak out mom.
5. We live above a convenience store that is in fact very convenient.
The awesome Andrew, another EPIK teacher from America, giving us newbies a walking tour of Andong.
Yes, you are seeing the delicious delicasies of Andong's market, dried fish in buckets as far as the eye can see!
Another site at the market...maybe we'll have to try cooking a ridiculously large octopus sometime.

The term ecommerce is no longer a phenomena. In fact, it’s the now the norm and expected for brick-and-mortar stores to also have an ecommerce option for customers to purchase goods online.
Will selling on social media soon become the norm too or is it just a fad?
We’re here to tell you that selling on social media is most definitely not a fad and is absolutely here to stay…and grow!
Now you may be thinking “I have an online store. I thought that was enough.” And you very well may be right. Depending on your industry, selling online through Shopify, BigCommerce, or Lemonstand may be enough for right now.
But if you want to stay ahead of your competition and keep up with changing consumer preferences. Then you need to take your digital selling a step further and start selling on social media.
You want to make it as convenient as possible for consumers to purchase your products. How do you do that? You position yourself where they are most of the time – browsing and conversing on social media platforms.
The average American spends around 2 hours per day on social media. Think about how many more minutes they would spend on social media if they could browse your products on Facebook without ever leaving the app.
But what apps are they spending their 2 hours on? Well, there’s no clear answer here because there are so many popular social media applications. The average person has five social media accounts that they use frequently.
How are you, as a business, supposed to know where to sell your products? How often should you promote them? Who should you promote your products to? We’re answering all of these questions for you today. Just keep reading, and you’ll learn all the tricks of the trade to selling on social media.
What Exactly Is Social Selling?
Selling on social media, otherwise known as social selling, is when businesses choose to upload and sell their products on a social platform. They then use that platform as a means to reach their audience and sell to them through social media versus a web page. Selling on social media is gaining steam. And it’s doing it fast! Everything in the digital marketing world grows at lightning speed. So don’t let this one pass you by.
74% of consumers say they rely on social media for information to help them in future purchases.
Additionally, 43% of consumers are more likely to purchase a product after learning about it on social media.
With these kinds of statistics, you can’t afford not to be on social media or not to advertise on social media. And you especially can’t afford to lose out on the opportunity of selling on social media.
Recent studies have found that business who practice social selling generally see a $5 return for every $1 invested.
As a business you can’t just make a social media profile and wait for people to come. This isn’t like fishing on a Sunday afternoon at your grandpa’s pond.
You’re swimming with big fish in the sea, so you have to make an effort with your social media account. The best way to do that is through social selling. So let’s get started in learning how to do that.
When it comes to social selling, you have a number of platforms you can choose from. But how do you know which one is right for your business? Should you be selling on more than one platform? What about all of them? Choosing the right platform to sell on is similar to choosing the right platform to use as your social media outlet.
Take a look at the platforms that you have business accounts with right now. Is it just Facebook? Great! Then sell on Facebook.
Are you on Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram? Then take a look at your metrics from each. Which one are you receiving the most engagement on? That’s a great indication of which platform would bring you the most revenue when it comes to product sales.
You may also take your audience demographics into consideration. If your target audience is comprised of mostly millennials, then you may want to sell on Facebook and Instagram rather than Twitter and LinkedIn.
It probably comes as no surprise to you that Facebook is easily our top choice platform for social selling. Let’s review all the features Facebook offers you as a business when it comes to selling on social media. We’ll also discuss which industries might have the most success selling on Facebook as well as some tips that are specific to selling on Facebook’s platform.
One feature offered by Facebook that other social media platforms do not have is the Product Catalog. With the feature you can link your inventory in your ecommerce store to your Facebook business profile and begin selling those same products directly on Facebook! Your online store and Facebook talk to each other as purchases are made, so your inventory is always correct and you have more revenue in your pocket!
You can link the items in your Product Catalog directly to your Facebook ads, so you can reach your customers in a highly targeted way – making them more likely to make a purchase. You can also use your catalog when remarketing to customers using Facebook’s dynamic ads.
If they already visited your website and looked at an item but abandoned it, just use the Product Catalog to show that item to them again in ad form. Remind them what they are missing out on!
That’s how social selling works!
Less is sometimes more. When selling on Facebook, you’ll always have the most success when you boost posts or run ads for your products. However, it’s important to remember not to overwhelm users or they may be likely to unfollow/block you.
Instead, put a frequency cap on your ads so you limit the number of times a user sees your ad.
Get personal with it. Believe it or not, users actually prefer this. They rather see a specific ad for a product they would actually like than see a bunch of ads for items they don’t want cluttering up their news feed.
Promote products that are personalized or tailored to your target customer, and your sales are sure to increase.
Instagram was the first 100% visual and mobile platform. Snapchat is the second to join that category, but we will discuss that platform later. Instagram now has close to 1 billion users, and over 80% of them actually use the app to make purchases or to look at products they plan to purchase in the near future.
But how do they make those purchases? Through a fairly new feature called shoppable posts that Instagram introduced testing in late 2016 and officially launched globally in 2018.
When selling on Instagram, you can also connect your product catalog like you can on Facebook since the platforms are linked together. But the user experience for the customer is different. There’s no pro to using shoppable posts on Instagram over the Facebook Product Catalog. It’s just simply a user preference. So it’s important to really know your target audience when choose which social media platform to sell on.
You will know when you see a shoppable post on Instagram because it will have a small shopping bag icon. When a user taps one of these posts, he/she will then see the name of the item and the price. Tap it again, and you’ll get even more info. Then if you like what you see, you can make a purchase right there in the Instagram app!
Because Instagram shares a lot of the same features that Facebook does, the industries that will see success selling on social media via Instagram are about the same.
However, industries that have more “Instagram worthy” products will see the most success. Retail apparel companies by far take the cake when it comes to selling on Instagram.
Professional, high quality images. Instagram is a visual based platform. The image of your product is what people see first. Then they see the copy, so make sure your images are top notch.
Remember, you are trying to sell this product through a screen. The best way to do that? High resolution imagery that shows off your product in the best way possible.
Make the customer think they need it. How do you do that? It’s simple. Lifestyle photography.
An image of someone actually using or wearing your product will generate double if not triple the sales than just a stand alone product image with a plain background. You have to show the user how much better their life will be after they purchase your product.
If you’re active on Pinterest, or also known as an avid pinner, then you know that Pinterest has its own social media lingo. Which also means it has its own way of social selling. Previously when users, or pinners, saw items on Pinterest that they wanted to purchase, they had to go on a scavenger hunt to find the product – sometimes with no such luck finding it. Pinterest solved this problem, and businesses cheered!
If pinners see a pin with a price in blue, then that means that product shown in the pin can be purchased. This is known as a buyable pin.
Your business can take advantage of buyable pins simply by connecting Pinterest to your ecommerce platform. Pinterest links to some of the well known platforms like Shopify, Magento, or BigCommerce. Every time you add a new product, you just check Pinterest when making the product visible online, and it automatically becomes a buyable pin. No additional work needed on your part.
If you have buyable pins, then pinners can also go directly to your profile to find and shop your pins that are eligible for purchase.
Selling on Pinterest sounds cool, right? It’s easy enough and you think you can do it. Well I’m sure you’re right, and I have all the confidence in you. But do you run a business whose products are searched by pinners? Any business that falls into the category of approved industries can sell on Pinterest, but if you fall into any of the below categories, you will see the most success selling on Pinterest.
Demographics. Pinterest users are approximately 42% female and 13% male. The age range among users is fairly evenly distributed, but with the majority still being in the millennial generation.
It’s important to note that pins do not disappear. In fact, they stay around for quite some time after you’ve posted them because most pins are repins from other users. An item you pinned two years ago could very much still be circulating.
Keyword targeting. Pinterest has a feature that other social media platforms do not when it comes to ad targeting. You can actually target keywords that your customers would search for to find your products. If you’re familiar with Google ads, it’s a similar setup.
Snapchat is probably the most social and least salesy of our list of platforms where you can sell on social media. However because of that, it’s also the place where your ads can look less like ads and more like regular snaps. This can work to your advantage.
As a video based platform, creating ads for selling on Snapchat can be a little more difficult, but worth the promotion it gets you. Although you cannot directly sell within in the all mobile Snapchat app, you can link to your site where users can makes purchases, place orders, register for events, and more!
Stay active! Snapchat is fast paced platform where constant and prompt communication is key to keeping a consumer’s attention. Your snaps only last a few seconds, which means your communication timeline with them is short. This can make for a fast conversion and speed up your sales funnel process.
But this time factor also means you can lose a customer quickly. As long as you keep constant communication through the sale of the product, then you should have no problem selling on Snapchat.
Provide an experience. You have video at your fingertips to really show your potential customers what they could be missing out on – whether it’s a new dress, a piece of home entertainment, or tickets to the next music festival.
Give them a glimpse (in just 10 seconds) of their next purchase and how great it will be!
Keep it short and sweet. As we mentioned before, Snapchat is fast-paced platform. Everything is supposed to be done “in a snap”. So don’t make any of your advertisements too long. Whether you’re promoting on a filtered ad or on your story, keep your snaps short (just a few seconds) and your stories short as well (no more than 10 snaps). This will ensure you keep users interested and coming back for more rather than dreading seeing your long snaps – or worse, unfollowing you.
Save money. Snapchat ads can be expensive for some small business owners, so try this alternative instead!
Purchase a much less expensive geofilter that customers can use when they are at your event or in your store. Most Snapchat users love to put geofilters on their snaps so all their friends know where they are. They are doing the promotion for you, and all you had to do was design the geofilter.
The more places you are, the more exposure your brand will have. It’s just that simple. Look at the websites that receive a lot of traffic. They probably have extensive menus with a lot of pages, hundreds of blog posts and products. That’s because the more options you offer to consumers, the more consumers you will attract. Which brings us to benefit number one.
When you attract more customers, you are giving yourself the opportunity to sell to that many more people than before. People don’t like to be inconvenienced by anything. Sure, they are on the internet everyday, but if they don’t have to leave their Facebook app to go to your online store, then you automatically just became their first choice in online shopping, aka social selling.
With more places to purchase comes more sales revenue! Think of it this way: if you only had one brick and mortar store and then expanded to 5 you would make more money getting different customers from different parts of town. Selling on social media through multiple platforms gives you access to literally billions of potential customers.
Even if you don’t have purchases the first day you start selling on social media and running ads, you’re still growing your business. You’re building brand awareness across multiple channels and getting your business name further than it was before.
By selling on social media, you are able to establish a relationship with your customers and offer a better shopping experience. Customers can ask you questions and you can answer them in real time just as you would if they were shopping in your store. The whole reason social media was established was to help people be more social in a different medium, so why not use it for its intended purpose?
Don’t assume. That you’re going to sell out of your inventory on day 1 of promotion. Yes, social selling is a fast way for small businesses to reach customers across the nation or even the world. But it’s important to remember that social selling is still a new concept that not all users are comfortable with yet. That’s why it’s so important to have good quality images, product descriptions, and an easy check out process.
Don’t just sell. Your brand needs to have a personality behind it. You want people to know more about your business than just it’s products. Be sure that you have consistency within your posts on your content calendar and stay engaged with your followers.
Don’t ignore comments. People are definitely going to have questions about your products. Who wouldn’t? They are buying something they can’t feel, smell, etc. If they have questions, then answer them as timely as possible. The greater engagement you have with your potential customers, the more likely they will be to purchase from you.
The more you sell, the more questions you will receive. This can be difficult to manage. Consider hiring a social media marketing company to do your daily monitoring for you so you can focus on other areas of your business.
If you learned anything from this article, take away this: Your future customers are on social media shopping right this second. If they aren’t looking at your products, then it means they are buying from your competitors. Don’t let that happen!
If you need help setting up your social media business account, product catalog, social ads, or anything else digital marketing – give us a call. Or schedule one at a time convenient for you. Our team of ecommerce social media experts can’t wait to help make your small business grow!
Have more questions or tips about social selling that we didn’t cover? Leave them in the comments below, and I’d be happy to answer them. Stay social, my friends!

SAN DIEGO, CA – Adam L. Braverman, United States Attorney for the Southern District of California, responded today to a recent report reflecting that the number of hate crime incidents reported to the FBI in 2017 increased approximately 17 percent nationwide and 15 percent in San Diego.
According to the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program’s annual Hate Crimes Statistics report, law enforcement agencies reported double-digit increases nationally in hate incidents in 2017 compared to 2016. Compiling data from a newly increased number of reporting agencies nationwide, the UCR statistics also show a consistent increase in reported incidents in San Diego. In 2016, 35 reports of hate incidents were reported in San Diego, including 16 incidents motivated by race, ethnicity, or ancestry, and 7 incidents motivated by religion. In 2017, 41 incidents were reported, with race incidents increasing to 17 and incidents motivated by religion climbing to 12. Twelve incidents motivated by sexual orientation or gender were reported in both 2016 and 2017.
Outside of the city, the number of reported incidents in San Diego County slightly decreased from 18 (13 motivated by race, ethnicity, or ancestry; 1 motivated by religion; 4 motivated by sexual orientation) in 2016 to 14 (7 motivated by race, ethnicity, or ancestry; none motivated by religion; 7 motivated by sexual orientation) in 2017. No information was provided to the FBI regarding reported incidents in Imperial County.
U.S. Attorney Braverman announced the second San Diego Regional Hate Crimes Coalition’s (SDRHCC) “Stop the Hate” Community Forum, scheduled for Wednesday, November 28, 2018, at 6:00 p.m. in Balboa Park’s Santa Fe Conference Room. Earlier this year, the SDRHCC hosted the first “Stop the Hate” Community Forum at the El Cajon Police Department and plans to host additional forums in the coming months. The SDRHCC, which began in 1997, is a coalition of non-governmental organizations, community-based groups, and law enforcement agencies that coordinate outreach, education, and responses regarding hate crimes and hate incidents in the San Diego area. The forum will include panels of prosecutors explaining legal rights and resources, community leaders discussing hate incidents and bullying, and victim-witness coordinators from state and federal agencies providing information for victims of hate incidents and crimes.
In addition to United States Attorney Braverman and John Brown, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI San Diego Field Office, speakers at the Community Forum will include representatives from the Anti-Defamation League, Border Angels, Islamic Center of San Diego, San Diego District Attorney’s Office, San Diego City Attorney’s Office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The forum is open to the public. Plenty of free parking is available. Press availability will begin at 5:30.

I heard about Brenda through a friend and I took my daughter’s flower girl dress to her to have the alterations done. She made us feel so comfortable; I immediately trusted her which relieved a lot of my stresses since the dress was for my wedding. I had taken my wedding dress for to another seamstress and when I got it back it still needed a couple of little “tweeks”. I took it to Brenda and she fixed it WHILE I was there picking up my daughter’s dress. Most of the other places I had been to or talked with told me it would take weeks to get my dress back! Not only was Brenda’s work fabulous but she was quick and all at a great price! I will definitely go back for all of my alteration needs and I would recommend her to anyone!

These tend to be people living in towns and smaller cities where traditional jobs began to disappear a generation ago and have never been adequately replaced. Whole communities have experienced their real incomes stagnating or falling since well before the financial crisis.
Statistics existed that could have alerted us to the brewing crisis—but nobody was looking. It took Thomas Piketty, in his 2014 work Capital, to put in the huge amount of effort necessary to make the data clearly tell the story of how many workers were being left behind.
This recommendation implies making fast broadband universal, but it also points to the need for better transport, like high-speed rail, because virtual and physical communication are complements, not substitutes.
One obvious and much discussed improvement would be teaching more coding—something we struggle with, partly because we don’t have enough teachers with the necessary skills. Another improvement would be to help children develop the human skills that machines seem furthest away from mastering, such as creativity in problem solving.
All of this is easier said than done. It would require a very serious redirection of resources to create opportunities in the regions or towns that have been left behind—high quality education and infrastructure do not come cheap. In addition, the initiative needs to come from the public sector, because public capital is the only kind of capital people in left-behind regions can access.
Some may see this as unrealistic given current fiscal challenges, but the problem is less about resources than political will. Get serious about ending tax breaks for corporations and wealthy individuals and the money for investment could be found.
Technological change also presents opportunities to ameliorate the societal disruptions it is creating. The Fourth Industrial Revolution can improve everyone’s lives, if we govern it wisely.
There are some, tentative signs—in the UK, at least—that politicians may be starting to understand. It is encouraging to hear the phrase “industrial policy” being mentioned again. A new acronym is gaining currency, the “JAMs”, describing people who are “just about managing”. It may sound inelegant, but at least it helps to name the problem.
History shows that when a significant proportion of people feel pessimistic about the future, crises that might otherwise be manageable can quickly spiral out of control. We can’t afford to take several more decades to get policy right.

Since Owen has gotten back, it’s been a blast getting back to the new normal. Yesterday after yoga, we headed out to get some lunch and some beach time.
We set up chairs and the weather was perfect – not too hot.
Just enough breeze to fling a little sand around and keep the kite boarders happy.
Great day for talking with the seagulls.
And for lolling in the sand.
It was clearly a perfect lazy summer day.
After dinner, it was spelling and lego time with Pop-pop.
And snuggling on the chair watching airplane videos.

This publication explores organizational and technical aspects of radiology, analyzed within the context of the Pan American Health Organization's strategic and programmatic orientations for 1995-1998. It seeks to strike a balance between basic principles of decentralized health services and the requirements that emerge as advances in medical knowledge are incorporated and applied in various areas of the health services. As a complement to the concepts developed in the text, the appendices in the second half of the book present examples of equipment specifications and legislation on practices and specialties, and provide information on technical aspects of quality assurance and radiation protection.
Politicians, administrators, planners, and health professionals, as well as the ministries of health, will find this publication useful as they allocate resources and determine technological configurations for the provision of services. Moreover, it is hoped that this book will help ease the task of those who must reconcile universal health care coverage with quality assurance and radiation protection.

Cake is a symbol of celebration and begets togetherness. We bake cakes on birthdays to celebrate the person, their new age and new year. It is a deliberate message of affection, as even the simplest cake takes a bit of time and care. Often I spend days pouring over cookbooks and blogs, rummaging through new and old recipes in order to find the perfect fitting cake. Then there is a trip to the grocery store, the prep and clean up, the measuring, stirring, baking, cooling and waiting to taste. The labor of love, really. My cakes do not always turn out perfect but that is not entirely the point. The point is to say I love you. I made you this cake because I love you.
Some may think that it is silly to bake a cake for a half year old's birthday. Perhaps it is. It did not matter that the baby girl was not quite old enough to have even a bite. What mattered was that we got together in the late afternoon, in the middle of the week to celebrate our newest little love. Surely she will not remember the cake or the day but I know with certainty she felt love.
In honor of the Hallmark holiday of love, we ventured out on a very overdue date. It was refreshing and much needed. On our first Valentine's date I was 16. I remember getting ready after school. I ate chocolate mint truffles while I waited for the rickety white truck to pull up in the driveway. We went to dinner at a small French restaurant and sat out on the back patio under a strand of white lights. I ordered lavender chicken but can't remember much else about our meal. I felt very grown-up but I imagine to everyone else we looked like babies. Fourteen years later our Valentine's Day date transpires over breakfast at a small downtown French cafe a few days ahead of the actual holiday. We look tired because of our babies we left at home and feel relieved to have uninterrupted conversation that is not via text message. I had a latte and poached eggs with wild mushrooms and sage-truffle beurre blanc. The man across from me had a triple espresso and steak frites with a poached egg. We shared orange juice. We agreed that our meal tasted exceptionally good. I felt a bit adolescent sitting there, momentarily disconnected from our family life and daily responsibilities. Things felt the same for a moment while we pushed pause and celebrated love.
This recipe comes from Nigella Lawson and though I made it once before, I had forgotten how lovely it is. In true Nigella fashion this cheesecake is luscious, rich and understatedly simple, as a good cheesecake should be. A sweet berry sauce would likely be a wonderful accompaniment, but then you would miss the subtleties of the flavor of the cake. This recipe yields an 8-inch cake which required me to go out and buy a new pan at the kitchen store. I almost settled on another recipe because of this, but am now very thankful that I did not make that mistake. Eight inches is exactly the right size for this decedent cheesecake.
Cooking Note: This recipe, like most cheesecakes, calls for baking in a bain marie - the French term for water bath. I promise that this is no big deal. All it means is that you grab a roasting pan (In this case the cake pan is eight inches, so a regular old 9 by 13 glass Pyrex dish will do the job well.) and boil some water in the kettle. You put the cheesecake in roasting pan, place in oven, pull out rack, pour in some hot water, push back rack and close oven. That's it.
To make the crust, pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until they become fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse until combined. Pour the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and press down an even layer of crumbs with the back of a spoon or your hands. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set.
To make the filling, beat the cream cheese in a large bowl (with either a hand held beater, a mixer attachment or a strong arm and spoon). Add the sugar and beat until smooth. Add the eggs and beat until smooth. Then add the egg yolks, vanilla extract and lemon juice and beat again until very smooth.
Meanwhile, heat some water in a tea kettle. Remove the chilled crust from the refrigerator and cover the bottom and sides of the springform pan with a large piece of aluminum foil. Do this again with a second piece of foil. This will prevent the water from leaking into the cheesecake. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and place in the large roasting pan or baking dish. Place the cheesecake in the roasting pan in the oven on the middle rack and pull the rack out a few inches. Pour in the hot water from the tea kettle into the roasting pan so that it comes half way up the side of the springform pan. Be careful not to over fill the pan with water or it will be difficult to remove from the oven.
While the cheesecake bakes, make the topping. Whisk together the sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract. Set aside. Bake the cheesecake for about 50 minutes, or until set. “But not rigidly so,” as Nigella instructs. She states, “you just need to feel confident that when you pour the sour cream over, it will sit on the surface and not sink in.” (My oven seems to bake on the slower side so I added an extra 7 minutes of cooking time before pouring over the sour cream topping.) Pour over the sour cream topping and bake the cheesecake for another 10 minutes.
Remove the roasting pan and cheesecake from the oven. Carefully remove the cheesecake out of the water and remove the foil. Let the cheesecake cool completely on a rack; then cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. This cheesecake can be made even two days ahead of time. It was a group consensus that this cake tastes even better on the second day. To serve the cheesecake, run a sharp knife carefully along the sides of the pan; then release the pan clasp and carefully remove the side piece. Use a sharp knife to cut and wipe clean each time if you desire unmessy pieces of cake.

UnivariateDfpFunction An interface representing a univariate Dfp function.
BracketingNthOrderBrentSolverDFP This class implements a modification of the Brent algorithm.
DfpDec Subclass of Dfp which hides the radix-10000 artifacts of the superclass.
DfpField Field for Decimal floating point instances.
DfpMath Mathematical routines for use with Dfp.
DfpField.RoundingMode Enumerate for rounding modes.
Another floating point class. This one is built using radix 10000 which is 104, so its almost decimal.
Portability. Code should be keep as portable as possible.
Memory foot print. I'm using more memory than necessary to represent numbers to get better performance.
Digits are bigger, so rounding is a greater loss. So, if you really need 12 decimal digits, better use 4 base 10000 digits there can be one partially filled.
IEEE 854 requires the radix to be either 2 or 10. The radix here is 10000, so that requirement is not met, but it is possible that a subclassed can be made to make it behave as a radix 10 number. It is my opinion that if it looks and behaves as a radix 10 number then it is one and that requirement would be met.
The radix of 10000 was chosen because it should be faster to operate on 4 decimal digits at once instead of one at a time. Radix 10 behavior can be realized by add an additional rounding step to ensure that the number of decimal digits represented is constant.
The IEEE standard specifically leaves out internal data encoding, so it is reasonable to conclude that such a subclass of this radix 10000 system is merely an encoding of a radix 10 system.
IEEE 854 also specifies the existence of "sub-normal" numbers. This class does not contain any such entities. The most significant radix 10000 digit is always non-zero. Instead, we support "gradual underflow" by raising the underflow flag for numbers less with exponent less than expMin, but don't flush to zero until the exponent reaches MIN_EXP-digits. Thus the smallest number we can represent would be: 1E(-(MIN_EXP-digits-1)∗4), eg, for digits=5, MIN_EXP=-32767, that would be 1e-131092.
IEEE 854 defines that the implied radix point lies just to the right of the most significant digit and to the left of the remaining digits. This implementation puts the implied radix point to the left of all digits including the most significant one. The most significant digit here is the one just to the right of the radix point. This is a fine detail and is really only a matter of definition. Any side effects of this can be rendered invisible by a subclass.

Honey is a lovely mare with a great temperament. She is a great herd leader and has done a fantastic job of nannying our younger ponies and keeping them in check! Although Honey is not to be ridden, she is good to lunge and long rein (although not done much for a while!) has done some horse agility which she was brilliant at, and has started clicker training. She is a bright intelligent horse who still likes to work but just not in the conventional way, but at the same time she is quite happy eating grass!
A suitable home would be someone for a bit more time for Honey that could spend some quality time with her. While she's quite happy just being a companion I'd like her to go somewhere she will get more attention than just being in a field. Someone interested in classical groundwork, or horse agility would be fantastic and even showing in-hand! but not essential! A good home where Honey can be enjoyed for what she is, is all we want for her.
She has no health issues or lameness issues, and has good strong feet.
Honey can be a flighty and tense animal in certain situations. She is good to catch 80% of the time. Other times can be quite difficult. We are clicker training her to help with this with good success. Although she can be a tense girl she is good for farrier, stable, bath, load, and travel and with traffic (if you wanted to walk out in-hand) She is very manageable and polite on the ground, despite the fact she gets a little worried sometimes.

In Ruppelt v. Laurel Healthcare, the Court of Appeals of the State of New Mexico determined that the use of an arbitration agreement that a nursing home required patients to sign as a condition of admission was unconscionable under New Mexico law. The attorneys at our firm have long discussed the need for those affected by these agreements to fight hard in court to protect community rights.
The lawsuit in this case was filed by Celeste Ruppelt against Laurel Healthcare for the wrongful death of Theodore Lendeen, Ms. Ruppelt’s father. The lawsuit arose from the care provided to Ms. Ruppelt’s father while he was a paient of Laurel Healthcare.
Under the terms of the Arbitration Agreement, signed by Ms. Ruppelt’s father as a condition of accepting him as a patient, both parties gave up the right to have any and all disputes associated with the relationship created by the patient’s admission resolved by lawsuit. Essentially, any disputes needed to resolved through arbitration. However, the Arbitration Agreement contained two very important exceptions, arbitration was not required for either disputes over collections or discharge of residents.
When Ms. Ruppelt filed her lawsuit, Laurel Healthcare filed motions to dismiss and motions to compel arbitration, pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement. Ms. Ruppelt opposed Laurel Healthcare’s motions, alleging that the Arbitration Agreement is unconscionable.
The trial court found that the Arbitration Agreement was unconscionable because it was extremely one-sided in Laurel Healthcare’s favor. In short, the agreement forced a patient to bring their most common claims through the process of arbitration, but it allowed Laurel Healthcare to bring its most common claims, collections and patient discharge, in a court of law. Laurel Healthcare appealed this determination to the Court of Appeals.
On appeal, Laurel Healthcare argued that the Arbitration Agreement was not one-sided, because it allowed either party to bring a lawsuit regarding collections or patient discharge in a court of law. The court noted that while on its face the Arbitration Agreement allowed a patient to bring a lawsuit about collections or patient discharge, it would be very unlikely for a patient to do so while it would be much more common for Laurel Healthcare to bring such a lawsuit. The practical effect of the Arbitration Agreement is to force a patient to bring his or her most likely dispute, negligent care, in arbitration rather than in court. As such, the court found that the Arbitration Agreement was unfair and unreasonably one-sided.
Laurel Healthcare then argued that even though the one portion of the Arbitration Agreement was deemed unconscionable, the unconscionable portions should be stricken and the rest of the Agreement should still be enforceable. The court declined to follow Laurel Healthcare’s reasoning, and struck the Arbitration Agreement in whole, finding it unenforceable.
Hopefully more state and federal courts across the country will follow this model. It is simply inapproproate for facilities to take advantage of families at these times, when there is usually little opportunity to understand the specifics of the legal agreements. Big companies often try to roll over the rights of regular community members. We are proud to fight on their behalf in these cases to ensure full accountability following nursing home mistreatment.

The computer game-maker says sales of its flagship game are, well, flagging - particularly in the US.
It’s been a horrible 12 months for Eidos, which has now lost more than 90% of its value amid plunging videogame sales. Today’s news only made matters worse: it’s now predicting full-year sales of £160-180m (down from £180-200m) – and with margins also being squeezed, there’s a good chance it may not be able to fulfil its profit targets for June. Although it still claims to have some breathing space, it admitted this may necessitate a little chat with its lenders before too long.
New Eidos CEO Phil Rogers, who was brought in to replace Jane Kavanagh a year ago as part of a management shake-up, says he’s trying to focus on ‘high quality titles that will deliver long-term franchise value’. And apparently he has high hopes for this year’s new Batman game, developed in conjunction with Warner Bros (which has built a 20% stake in Eidos, leading to rumours of a takeover bid) and DC Comics.
But the fact remains that Lara Croft – for so long the shining star of the Eidos stable – is looking increasingly like yesterday’s news. After all, it’s not as though the gaming industry as a whole has been struggling: figures released by an industry trade body earlier this week suggested sales topped £4bn in 2008, thanks largely to the huge success of Nintendo’s Wii and DS consoles.

Mоѕt of us are aссuѕtоmеd to wirеd headphones. After all, they are ѕuррliеd with just about еvеrу portable mp3 рlауеr that we’ve ever had. With wired headphones, there is stiff competition between the various manufacturers, who all seem to be сhurning оut nеwеr, more innоvаtivе and more rеvоlutiоnаrу рrоduсtѕ then they ever did in the past. Today, the consumer really has a difficult time deciding which headphones are the ones they should go for. It seems like unlеѕѕ уоu’re armed with еxреrt knоwlеdgе rеgаrding all of the technical ѕресifiсаtiоnѕ of headphones, then уоu’ll either be сhооѕing one of the most еxреnѕivе ones in thе lоt, or thе ones thаt have a larger number of features.
One of the most recent innovations in this field iѕ thе introduction оf wireless hеаdрhоnеѕ. Wirеlеѕѕ hеаdрhоnеs are the ones that do nоt require аnу fоrm оf саblеѕ to transmit audio to your ears. Your audio is transmitted to a receiver, which dесоdes inрut аnd rеndеrs thе audio output. Various technologies are used for the transmission and reception of wireless signals, and these devices are generally pretty effective at rendering the audio output.
And since there development, there has been a clear trend in the world where it seems like everything iѕ ѕhifting more and more tо the wirеlеѕѕ paradigm. Not only do we have wireless headphones, but we nоw have wirеlеѕѕ intеrnеt, wirеlеѕѕ telephones and just about wirеlеѕѕ “everything”.
What Are The Differences Between Wired And Wireless Headphones?
The fundamental question you may ask me here iѕ if thеrе is any significant difference gained by choosing wirеlеѕѕ hеаdрhоnеѕ? The answer is: as far as sound quality is concerned, there really is no significant difference. You gеt tо еnjоу thе ѕаmе audio as you would with wired headphones. Audio quality iѕ quite often a subjective соnсерt and will usually depend on various fасtоrѕ, such as thе technology used to create the audio for instance.
However, one difference that you do see is that you get to enjoy the freedom of movement when you are using wireless headphones. They also allow you to enjoy personalized audio output without disturbing other members of your family. With wired headphones, you always have to deal with the inconvenience of wires.
In the case of wired headphones, wires are responsible for carrying audio signals. However, in the case of wireless headphones, audio signals are transmitted in the form оf radio frequencies, Bluetooth signals or infrared signals. This transmission раrt iѕ handled bу the bаѕе ѕtаtiоn. The receiver is integrated into the headphones themselves.
Both wired headphones and wired headphones are safe for a person’s health. After all, we are virtually enveloped in radio waves, Wi-Fi signals, mobile, RF signals and just about every other type of radio wave you can imagine. However, it is still advisable to turn off your transmitter/receiver when not in use to cut off the radio frequencies so they don’t interfere with other devices.
Wired headphones usually have less of a range since they depend upon physical wires, whereas wireless headphones can cover longer distances. Some wireless headphones like the Sennheiser RS120 can support a range up to 320-feet.
Wired headphones are usually consistent in producing the same audio output as long as they are connected to the wires carrying the signal. On the other hand, wireless headphones generally tend to lose signal when they start moving away from the base unit and will begin to fail as they approach their maximum range. In the case of infra-red technology, it’s even worse because the receiver needs to have a direct line of sight to the transmitter.
Although there are few limitations with wireless headphones, they do offer great convenience to you compared to their wired counterparts. If you are pairing up wireless headphones with your TV, then you can enjoy your own personalized audio without worrying about disturbing other people in your household.
Which Wireless Headphone Shоuld I Choose?
It depends upon a number of different factors. I recommend that you check out my wireless headphone buying guide, which has comprehensive information about selecting good quality wireless headphones. You should also read my detailed reviews of the best rated cordless headphones available.

This post is part of the Epilepsy Blog Relay™ which will run from March 1 to March 31, 20178. Follow along!
I sat in a hospital in Indianapolis, dazed, and on the phone with my sister. I had just had my first grand mal seizure in ten years, and was dealing with a new diagnosis of epilepsy. During our conversation, she asked me if I wanted her to let my boyfriend know what happened. I told her yes, knowing full well that he was at a family wedding in another state far away.
As I was sitting in the ER, some cousins of mine (well, second and third cousins) who lived in a town nearby showed up. It turns out my mother, who was in yet another state, had called them to tell them what had occurred. They very kindly offered to have me come home and stay with them while I recovered.
I got to their home and immediately went to their guest room to sleep. I awoke, and my mom and a close family friend were walking in the door to my room. Turns out, as soon as I had the seizure, my mom got in a car and drove four hours in order to be with me and make sure I was okay.
As I was sitting there talking to my mom, who should arrive but my boyfriend. I started crying, I was so surprised to see him. Turns out my sister caught him at the airport, and he was able to change his flight to come be by my side and fly with me back home. He didn’t want anyone to worry about me trying to navigate an airport in a post-seizure induced haze.
In looking back, I realized it was at that moment that I knew who I wanted to be by my side as my partner for the rest of my life. My epilepsy put that into stark relief. It also helped me realize just how important it is to have people who love and support you when dealing with a condition like epilepsy. I had an entire village, across many states, going out of their way to help me.
Since then, that circle of love has continued to grow. The boyfriend is now my husband, and constant protector. He helps to make sure I take my medicine, get enough sleep, and checks in if I just seem out of it on any given day. He has held my hand through more seizures and their aftereffects, has supported me as I’ve made changes in my career, that while mean I am going down the career ladder – nonetheless lead to a healthier me. He’s also been there by my side as we’ve brought a child into this world. A testament to our love, and proof that even in unexpected or hard circumstances, life and love always have the last word.

STEAM is a general model of teamwork, intended to enable agents to participate in coherent teamwork. It has so far been applied in three different complex multi-agent domains. Two of the domains involve building teams of pilot agents for distributed interactive simulation environments: (i) synthetic helicopter attack, (ii) synthetic helicopter transports. A third domain is building a team of virtual players for RoboCup simulated soccer. While synthetic pilot-teams based on STEAM are currently participating in the STOW-97 exercises (virtual battlefield exercises involving thousands of virtual and real entities), our player-team based on STEAM won the third place in the RoboCup-97 synthetic soccer tournament held at IJCAI-97 in Nagoya, Japan.
STEAM can facilitate development of agent teams, and you may find it useful in your application. If agents adopt certain representational conventions for states and operators, STEAM will facilitate their participation in teamwork. For an overview of STEAM's capabilities, please see the publications listed below all available here. The first paper is particularly relevant.
Agent architectures for flexible, practical teamwork.
Teamwork in real-world, dynamic environments.
STEAM is currently based in Soar. A key component of STEAM is the notion of a "team operator", which generalizes the use of operators in Soar. In particular, while operators are used by individuals to engage in individual activities, team operators are those performed by multiple team members together, as a team --- of course, without a physically shared memory. Team operators are based on the joint intentions framework (Cohen and Levesque, 1991, Smith and Cohen, 1996); please read the references above for pointers and other details. Team operators are distinguished from normal individual operators, because they are tagged as modeling a team activity, and because they activate the rules in the package listed below. However, individual operators are also within STEAM scope, at least to the extent that they bear upon team activities. Thus, STEAM's rules can apply to team operators, as well as individual operators. (Simultaneously, it is possible to circumvent STEAM if you must, since there are areas where STEAM falls short in modeling teamwork).
By no means is STEAM an end-point of an investigation of teamwork. Instead, I hope this turns out to be a collaborative future effort -- I volunteer to maintain code for different styles of teamwork. In the following, I will assume that readers have gone through the papers listed above (all of these are fairly short papers), and/or are quite familiar with the basic concepts used.
The documentation provided here may not be sufficient for you to run a new application. Please do let me know, and I can add further documentation depending on your need.
The following set of files contains rules written in Soar that make up the STEAM package. Anyone using team-operators will be able to make use of STEAM rules. The rules use Soar7, and they depend on some representational conventions (to be described below), for encoding domain knowledge. The total number of rules here is close to 253 (please see note at the end of this page). However, several issues must be noted. First, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LOAD ALL OF THE RULES. For instance, you may decide to load only a certain set of rules say for establishing and terminating team activities, and none of the rules involved in repair. Indeed, it is possibly a good strategy to first load just a few sections of STEAM and then extend your coverage. Second, due to the expressivess of the rule language, certain rule types have to be repeated --- bloating the number of rules. That is, once you understand the rule type, it is easy to see the repeating pattern.
There are two types of rules here: (i) General rules, to be used in your application without any change, and (ii) Domain-specific rules, not to be used in your application, but these may provide guidance as to how to write up some of the domain-specific rules required for reasoning in STEAM. The domain-specific files are loaded via load-domain-specific.soar; you should ensure that these are not loaded in your application. (Just a handful of domain-specific rules may have unfortunately crept into the general rules, but it should be possible to delete those).
The following are brief descriptions of the general rules. Once you untar the tar file, you should see the following files, that contain the general rules. The domain-specific rules are contained in two directories that contain the name "*domain-specific".
Team formation follows the request-confirm protocol. The relevant rules are in the following four files, and in the directory "establish-jpg" (jpg stands for joint persistent goal). Gamma stands for the "gamma" used in the AAAI97 paper listed above. Within the establish-jpg directory, we have files for sender and receiver. Functional-models-for-jpg file is the unachievability condition when an agent fails in establishing a jpg.
The operators fired in a subgoal for establish-jpg are to be loaded from the directory "establish-jpg" which contains the following files. The sender is the team-leader, responsible for establishing team goals, and the receivers are the other members of the team.
The following files are used in deciding whether operators are achieved, unachievable or irrelevant. The unachievability file is the most interesting here, since it reasons about failures that arise if individuals in a team fail to fulfill responsibilities. The conditions for achieved, unachievable and irrelevant operator status are divided into three categories: "actual", "derived", and "indirect". These three categories had to be created, since agents must not only terminate operators, but need to communicate about them. To reduce the amount of communication, derived and indirect categories were created, so that agents can refer to objects associated with their team operators, e.g., they can can say "scouted current battle-position", where current implies the one referenced in their team operator; without necessarily having to specify the shape and size of the battle position to uniquely identify it in other ways. More about this in the representational-conventions section below.
The following files are used to enable agents to communicate upon termination of a team operator. "Tau" stands for the "tau" in the AAAI97 paper listed above. So the first file estimates tau for terminating the current jpg (the joint-persistent-goal, which is at the heart of a joint intention) to be terminated. The next file uses the equation of cost-benefit analysis of communication based on tau. The next file ("create-communicative-goals") actually creates a communicative goal in the agent's memory. The file "communicative-private-beliefs.soar" finally broadcasts the message to the team indicated in the communicative goal. As a result of communication, or because the information is assumed to be common knowledge, the next file (assume-common-knowledge) updates the team state or mutual beliefs.
The above files should lead to a communication operator being installed. The type of messages that can be generated a result of these rules are listed below. The first message below is generated by an agent named "cheetah421", and it asks for the current jpg (the joint-persistent-goal, which is at the heart of a joint intention) to be terminated. The joint intention to be terminated is "fly-flight-plan". There is also a cause for why such a termination occurs: because the agents are to evade an enemy tank seen at location 54000 33000 to the right. The message type is "constant" -- this type information is required for the interpretation of the message.
In general, it should be possible to provide a natural language gloss for such messages, but we havent done that so far.
goals are only possible as communicative goals at this juncture.
specified as high, low or medium.
knowledge is now mutually believed.
Just as we have standard set of rules for communication we have also included rules for accepting information from others. These messages all relate to the termination of a team operator, caused by the rules in the files above. Messages are expected to arrive in particular formats, which is what the accept-message takes advantage of. message-elaborations.soar is used to extract the right elaborations from the message -- note that this aspect is not covered by the theory, and it is not described in the papers. convert-names-to-internal-objects.soar is used because agents communicate names of other agents (they obviously cannot send each other any internal symbols representing different agents); hence after communication, these names are converted by a receiving agent to internal symbols.
Repair team operator is entered if an operator is found unachievable, either a team operator or an individual operator. Since repair is itself cast as a team operator, "functional-models-for-repair" lists the achievement conditions for the repair. Repair other role is invoked if there are non-critical roles, that need to be repaired.
Files for repair are to be loaded from the directory "repair-team-op", which contains the following files. In this set, team-formation-failure.soar addresses errors in team-formation (in establish-jpg). Other files handle failures when individuals are found unable to perform their roles.
Given specification of role dependency (see the representational conventions listed below), the following install appropriate role-dependency links. Furthermore, when an agent is unable to perform its role, propagate-non-performance is used to understand its implications in the overall organization.
This following is related not directly to the termination of a team activity, but rather to an individual's non-performance and hence its threat to the team activity. The agent then communicates this inability to perform role to others.
Complete failure is invoked if there is no repair available. Complete failure leads to "actions-on-complete-failure", which is in the directory "domain-knowledge".
The following two are not discussed in the above papers. The role-performance-enquiry comes up when an agent is unable to perform its role, but it is also unable to communicate that it cannot perform own role. Others must thus query it as to its status in performing assigned role.
An agent only declares that certain message be conveyed via a certain communication method. The following types of files get used to implement this communication method. Not exactly a general file, this should actually be moved to domain-specific parts.
Whether a team contains subteams.
Postscript file of representational conventions adopted.
The following communication is from the Attack domain mentioned in the papers above. It involves a company of synthetic attack helicopter pilot agents performing their mission in a synthetic battlefield. The pilot team begins this mission after the initial mission briefing. There are five members in this company, cheetah421, cheetah422, cheetah423, cheetah424, and cheetah425. Cheetah421 is the commander.
cheetah421: "commit to executing their current mission".
Each member of the company responds in turn, announcing that they are: "committed to executing mission"
This means the remaining members of our IFOR company are ready and committed to executing their mission. If and when all members of the company respond in this fashion, the IFORs begin executing their current mission. (Some IFORs may take some extra time getting ready, and may not respond immediately). These messages became necessary, as otherwise, some IFORs would not be ready by the time the company took off.
The actual messages exchanged in the internal IFOR language (the following may not be very useful).
2. The mission specification indicates that the company is to halt at a phase line, on-order. So after taking off to begin executing their specified mission, the company halts at the phase line. When the company commander (cheetah421) receives a "resume" command from the battalion commander, it (cheetah421) broadcasts to the members of the company that they: "terminate halt, and resume"
3. When the company reaches the holding area, a team of scouts is sent ahead to scout the battle position and engagement area. These scouts -- in IFOR company lets call them cheetah424 and cheetah425 -- move ahead into their individual observation positions. They mask in these locations, hiding from the enemy. Here, once again, they exchange radio messages to ensure that they are both ready to observe the enemy. This exchange occurs by cheetah424 asking that the other team member to be ready and committed to observing the enemy. Cheetah425 responds by saying that it is ready and committed to observing the enemy. After cheetah425 responds, the scouts start unmasking and observing the enemy.
Actual transmission of firing position deleted.
6. After replanning and communication of the firing positions, each helicopter flies to its firing position. The helicopters are to launch a simultaneous attack on the enemy, by unmasking simultaneously, and launching the first strike. To ensure a coordinated attack, the commander now makes sure that everyone is ready and committed to engage the enemy. (Each helicopter may take a different amount of time to reach its new firing position, and so ensuring coordination becomes important).
This coordination is achieved via the same routine as before. The commander broadcasts to everyone to be ready and commit to engaging the enemy. Each company member responds turn-by-turn when they are ready that they are committed to the engagement. Some members may take a long time to reach their firing position; and may not respond immediately. When everyone responds, the company begins launching a coordinated attack on the enemy.
7. At one point the commander decides to terminate the engagement. It broadcasts a message on the radio to "terminate current engagement, since mission is completed".
------------------------------------------------------- 8. After completing the engagement, the helicopters reassemble at the rally point. When the commander (cheetah421) determines that the helicopters have reassembled, it informs them that the reassembling should be terminated, since everyone is assembled at the battle position.
9. When the company is flying back to the home-base after finishing the engagement, cheetah422 sees enemy anti-aircraft-guns (AAA) enroute. So, cheetah422 broadcasts to the company that they should terminate their current flying along the flight plan, because they have to evade a "AAA" at coordinates of 54000, 33000, to the right of the flight path. So cheetah422 broadcasts to the company to: "terminate fly-flight-plan, by evading AAA at 54000 33000 right"
------------------------------------------------------- 10. After evading the enemy, the company may be in a disarray, as each helicopter may take a slightly different course of action in evading the aaa that cheetah422 announced on the radio. The commander now has to replan the route back to home base. So, cheetah421 first ensures that everyone is ready to receive the new plan, by broadcasting on the radio: to be ready and to commit to repair the old flight plan.
When everyone responds that they are ready to repair the old flight plan, the commander begins replanning.
Since the release of STEAM 1.0, we have improved it. STEAM 1.1 will be released soon.

My 13 years old cousin asked for it, she wanted to try my DSLR camera, and I allowed her to take a photo and you can see the result above. My little cousin is quite agile, so, I did take care that she wouldn’t drop the camera, and I explained her some of the buttons and how the lens works. Even if a DSLR is a quite complex device, I liked the idea to let her try to use it, especially because I think it’s important to show children something early, who knows, maybe they develop a passion for the things you show them.
By the way, when she asked to use the camera, I asked her if there is something near us that would make an interesting photo, and she replied “Yes, look at the beautiful sculpture!”, I liked it when she was looking around to choose the subject on her own, that’s how we all started with photography, didn’t we? What do you think about the subject she did choose? And do you like her first try? To add something, here is a photo she shot a year ago or so with a smartphone camera.
I would be very happy if she would start with photography, or any other interesting or creative activity. A creative passion is always good, photography for example is very relaxing, you get out, you can calm down if you are mad or sad, and you can express yourself or show things you like… it was interesting to read how you started with photography 🙂 Have a nice weekend Nia!
I think she did well on her first attempt with a DSLR, looking at her previous photo from the smart phone it seems she has a good eye for a picture.

Are my work tools covered in my truck?
If you purchase equipment coverage for your tools then they will be covered in your truck but there is one important caveat. If the tools are stolen from your truck then there must be signs of forceable entry or the claim will not be paid.

When you encouraged your friend to go into sales, you did not provide him with a wild card that lets him sell whatever he wants to you. At the same time, although you are satisfied with your current supplier, it is always worthwhile to see what else is being offered in the marketplace, whether from a friend or not. It is possible that your friend's company has something better than your current supplier.
Let your friend make his presentation to you. If you still find that your current supplier better meets your company's needs, you can tell him that. You are not rejecting him as a person, but only rejecting his products at this time.
One additional step that can help in this situation is to let him know what it would take to get you more interested in his company's products, such as in terms of function, features, or pricing. Secondly, you can provide him with names of people in other companies whose needs may be a better match for what he is selling. To a real salesperson, good referrals are like gold.
His reaction will tell you a great deal about his salesmanship and friendship.

Expectancy-Discrepant Information: Does Format Influence Effects?
ABSTRACT - Public policy is concerned with protecting the consumer from false, deceptive, and/or misleading brand information. This concern has led to a situation where a manufacturer may be required to disclose some brand information which may be discrepant with the consumers' currently held beliefs about the brand (i.e., corrective advertising, affirmative disclosure, ad substantiation). Little is known about the effects of such expectancy-discrepant information on consumers. This study investigates three areas of potential impact of expectancy-discrepant information on consumers--consumers' brand image/comprehension, consumers' brand perception in relation to an "ideal" brand, and consumers' psychological feelings about a brand selection decision. Two information disclosure formats are studied.
Debra L. Scammon (1978) ,"Expectancy-Discrepant Information: Does Format Influence Effects?", in NA - Advances in Consumer Research Volume 05, eds. Kent Hunt, Ann Abor, MI : Association for Consumer Research, Pages: 145-150.
Public policy is concerned with protecting the consumer from false, deceptive, and/or misleading brand information. This concern has led to a situation where a manufacturer may be required to disclose some brand information which may be discrepant with the consumers' currently held beliefs about the brand (i.e., corrective advertising, affirmative disclosure, ad substantiation). Little is known about the effects of such expectancy-discrepant information on consumers. This study investigates three areas of potential impact of expectancy-discrepant information on consumers--consumers' brand image/comprehension, consumers' brand perception in relation to an "ideal" brand, and consumers' psychological feelings about a brand selection decision. Two information disclosure formats are studied.
Recently there has been extensive discussion, both in the marketing and social issues literature and in governmental hearings and meetings, regarding the appropriate role of policy-makers in consumer protection. This discussion has centered around determining the priority of issues appropriate to consumer protection programs. At the heart of much of this discussion lies the problem of availability of purchase-relevant information to the consumer and his/her use of this information in making purchase decisions. The discussion to follow focuses on one particularly crucial case of information availability, the case involving the disclosure of brand information contrary to or discrepant with the consumer's preconceived expectations about a brand. The effectiveness of two disclosure formats is compared.
1. They find they have no prior knowledge about the brand and thus no prior expectations about its contents, quality, performance, etc.
2. They find they have accurate and sufficient knowledge and expectations about the brand and need no further information to confirm their beliefs.
3. They find they have roughly accurate knowledge and expectations about the brand, but desire further confirmation to increase their confidence in their brand evaluations.
4. They find they have inaccurate knowledge and information about the brand and need new information to point out this discrepancy and convey and accurate facts about the brand.
The second situation, where consumers have accurate and sufficient product information, may be the ideal from a consumer protection point of view. However, advertisers often find themselves facing consumers in either the third situation for established products where consumers have accurate but insufficient information to make a decision or the first situation for new products where consumers have insufficient information to make a decision. Thus, in some cases, for their own best interests, commercial sources can be expected to "fulfill" consumers' information needs. The issue of strict availability of information to consumers is obviously important then in the first and third cases above. The Nutrition Advertising Rule (39 Fed. Reg. 39482, 1974) and other affirmative disclosure actions have been proposed to assure the availability to the consumer of purchase-relevant facts when insufficient information or no data have previously been available to consumers.
However, it is in the fourth situation, where misinformation abounds, that public policy should place its regulatory emphasis. To correct erroneous product conceptions necessarily involves the disclosure of new information. For those consumers who have formed their product beliefs and/or brand comprehension on earlier inaccurate information, this new information is likely to be discrepant with their expectations about the brand. In this situation, the minimization of consumer deception and/or consumer biases founded on incorrect information can come from the discovery of the most effective way of correcting erroneous perceptions, images and/or product knowledge.
1. Cognitive dissonance theory would suggest any discrepancy between actual and expected performance would be minimized by the consumer by adjustment of his perception of the product's performance to be more in line with his expectations of its performance, thus resulting in satisfaction.
2. Contrast theory suggests the consumer will magnify any discrepancy in performance between expectation and reality and will experience dissatisfaction with the actual performance.
3. Generalized negativity theory suggests that any discrepancy between expectation and reality will result in a negative evaluation of the product and a dissatisfied consumer.
4. Assimilation-contrast theory suggests that if the disparity between expectation and reality is small the consumer will assimilate the difference by perceiving the product's performance in line with his expectations. However, if the disparity is large the consumer will contrast or magnify the perceived disparity. Thus, a discrepancy could result in either a satisfied or a dissatisfied consumer.
Studies using these four theoretical models as bases for investigation have concluded that brand claims should not be overly exaggerated nor overly understated but rather, should be consistent with the actual attributes, quality, and performance of the brand. This honesty about the brand appears to create a high level of customer satisfaction with the brand once it is "experienced" (Anderson, 1973; Cardozo, 1965; Olshavsky and Miller, 1972).
An equally important question is how exposure to expectancy-discrepant information (other than experiential information) effects consumers' brand evaluations and subsequent satisfaction with the brand. Consumer protection legislation may involve requiring advertisers to give consumers information which is discrepant with consumers' current beliefs and expectations (especially through the use of remedies such as corrective advertising). In fact, it could be argued that there is little need for policy makers to be concerned with giving consumers information consistent with their current knowledge and beliefs if these are accurate.
1. Believe the new information and change their attitude toward or perception of the brand.
2. Not believe the new information, mentally reject it, and continue believing what they had previously believed.
3. Not believe the new information but be curious about the discrepancy and seek further information to clarify the confusing situation.
4. Become confused and uncomfortable, not knowing what to believe (Maloney, 1962).
These possible reactions differ in their desirability from the point of view of the public policy objective underlying the information disclosure requirement. Thus, they have very different implications for public policy formulation. It is therefore critical to determine which reaction is the most likely response and whether the format of the disclosure influences the response.
Past research on information processing suggests that the degree to which new information is perceived as discrepant with currently held beliefs might be influenced both by the amount of new (discrepant) information presented and by the format of that information, i.e., its complexity/simplicity (Jacoby, et. al., 1974a,b; Russo, 1975).
As part of a more extensive investigation of the effects of amount and format of information on consumers' product evaluations, an experiment was designed in which respondents were assigned to groups receiving different amounts of purchase-relevant information in different formats (Scammon, 1976). The proposed Trade Regulation Rule on Nutrition Advertising (39 Fed. Reg. 39482, 1974) provided an appropriate framework for this analysis since its guidelines suggested different disclosure formats (%Recommended Daily Allowance or adjectival descriptions of the nutrient content) and several amounts of information (zero, four, or eight nutrients) which advertisers might be required to use when presenting nutrition claims about their products.
It was necessary to be able to introduce information discrepant with preconceived notions about the test brands. To do this, two brands of peanut butter (Skippy Peanut Butter and Koogle Peanut Butter Surprise) were selected. Skippy was significantly more well known than was Koogle and Skippy had a well established image in the minds of consumers. Skippy was rated significantly more well-known, more wholesome, and higher on nutrition value than was Koogle by a control group receiving no nutrition information on either brand (see Table 1).
To maximize the possibility of image change, during the experiment Skippy was portrayed as the "nutritionally inferior" brand, an image discrepant with the one revealed by the control group. The information on Koogle was left unmodified so it was not discrepant with Koogle's current image.
The nutrition information was presented to respondents in 30-second color commercials for the two brands which had been modified by superimposing replicas of nutrition labels with the appropriate formats (% RDA or adjectival descriptions) and amounts (zero, four, or eight nutrients) of nutrition information over the last six seconds of the commercials as proscribed in the Nutrition Advertising Rule (see Figure 1).
Subjects were selected on a quota basis from a group of California residents and tourists participating in a commercial television pilot preview test. During the preview test data were gathered on demographic and socioeconomic variables as well as frequency of purchase, importance of, and last brand purchased of peanut butter. Twelve subjects at a time were asked to stay after the preview to participate in a focus group interview. During this interview they were shown three 30-second commercials -- a control commercial, then the two test commercials (the test commercials were reversed in presentation order during 1/2 of the sessions to guard against any order bias). After exposure to the commercials, subjects responded to a short questionnaire regarding the test commercials including questions about their brand choices and brand preference, their images of the test brands, and their feelings about the decision situation. These responses were analyzed by comparing groups exposed to the information in the two different formats. Where appropriate, the responses were analyzed separately for Skippy (expectancy-discrepant condition) and for Koogle (non-discrepant condition).
Following the experiment, subjects were debriefed. Subjects were given a letter explaining the use of false brand information and giving subjects the real brand data.
The findings reported below and their implications for public policy are discussed in the context of a situation where consumers currently have inaccurate information which needs to be corrected before they can make accurate brand choice decisions. The major concern is with finding an effective method for communicating expectancy-discrepant information in such a manner that consumers come away with accurate brand perceptions. Secondarily, interest is in discovering how consumers deal with this discrepant information, i.e. how they feel about their decision situation and their information environment.
Assuming one major role of public policy in protecting consumers is to point out areas where consumers' product knowledge is either insufficient or inaccurate, data from this study indicate adjectival descriptions communicate more effectively with consumers than do percentage contents data.
After exposure to nutrition information in one of the two test formats (percentage RDA or adjectival descriptions), subjects were asked to identify the "more nutritious" brand in order to judge the communications effectiveness of the disclosures. An overall chi-square test of the difference between the observed and expected experimental cell frequencies for those subjects choosing each brand as the "more nutritious" one revealed a significant difference between groups exposed to the two different information formats regardless of the amount of information they were exposed to (Tables 2 and 3). Examination of the data suggests that the adjective format is superior to the percentage format in helping respondents identify the "more nutritious" brand.
PERCENTAGE OF RESPONDENTS CHOOSING EACH BRAND AS "MORE NUTRITIOUS"
After exposure to the nutrition information, subjects were queried regarding the perceived distance of each of the test brands from their "ideal" brand. Subjects were simply asked to indicate how close each of the test brands was to their "ideal" brand on an overall basis rather than attribute by attribute, the method that has been used in several past studies (Jacoby, Speller, and Kohn, 1974a, b). Theoretically, if nutrition is an important attribute and a brand is perceived as nutritious, it should be rated as "close to" the ideal. Conversely, the "less nutritious" brand should be seen as "far from" the ideal. Thus, it was expected that, following exposure to the most effective format for the nutrition information, Koogle would be seen as closer to the ideal and Skippy as further from the ideal. It appeared that for Koogle, the unknown brand for which the information presented to subjects was not discrepant with pre-exposure knowledge, the nutrition information neither moved the brand closer to nor further from the ideal brand no matter what the format of the information. Analysis of variance of the mean perceived distance scores between groups revealed a non-significant main effect for format (Tables 4 and 5).
However, the information presented to respondents on Skippy, the well-known brand, disconfirmed subjects' preconceived notions and/or expectations about the brand. Respondents entered the experiment with a strong pre-exposure preference for Skippy. [Using the responses of subjects in the control group that saw no commercial messages as surrogate indicators for the experimental groups' pre-exposure brand evaluations showed 93.7% of the respondents preferred Skippy over Koogle.] The disclosure information portrayed Skippy as a "less valuable" product than subjects had expected. Analysis of variance of the mean perceived distance score of Skippy from the "ideal" brand revealed a significant difference between groups exposed to the two different information formats regardless of the amount of information they were exposed to. Skippy was perceived as further from the "ideal" by those exposed to adjectival information than by those who saw percentage information (Tables 6 and 7).
These data suggest that the FTC and other regulatory agencies may want to develop different information disclosure requirements for new and for established products. However, in recommending the use of adjectival disclosures, the regulatory agencies must be cautious that their proscriptions and remedies are not punitive in nature. The danger with using adjectival disclosures is that they appear to facilitate downward evaluations of products.
A related problem arises when considering the effects of expectancy-discrepant information (i.e., disclosures designed to correct an erroneous perception of a well-known brand) on consumers' subjective-psychological feelings. How can consumers be expected to deal with the resulting conflict, discomfort and dissatisfaction? Will they abandon any thoughts of purchase of the brand described? will they continue buying the brand they have always bought? Will they stop buying that type of product altogether assuming one brand is just like the others? Or will they seek additional information to quiet their discomfort and dissatisfaction?
Subjects in this test were asked to indicate whether they preferred Skippy or Koogle. They then were asked to rate their certainty regarding their choice, their confusion during the decision-making process, their satisfaction with their decision, and their desire for more information. These ratings were on 5-point scales with 1 representing the most positive response.
By comparing the experimental groups on their mean scores on these subjective state scales, analysis of variance revealed significant differences for satisfaction and desire for more information (Tables 8 and 9) between the groups exposed to the two different formats.
The data from this study suggest that those respondents receiving adjectival disclosures are less satisfied with their choices than are those receiving percentage disclosures. This decreased satisfaction appears to result in a desire for more additional information, probably to clarify the discrepancy evident between the new information and prior brand expectations. If this desire for additional information leads to actual search for information, it may not be too unreasonable to expect consumers to seek additional information. Consumers may look for information to "validate" the adjectival labels attached to various products. Once validated, these labels might be used with more confidence in the future.
In designing legislation and judicial remedies to protect consumers, major concern of policy makers lies in the prevention of deception or the correction of images based on deceptive or misleading information. Both of these objectives can be obtained through communication of the true facts about brands on the market. Policy may thus require the communication of information discrepant with commonly held beliefs about a brand.
This study attempted to determine which of two alternative information disclosure formats would be most effective in communicating expectancy-discrepant information to consumers. The data indicate that an adjectival format is superior to a percentage format in helping respondents identify the "more nutritious" brand, in increasing the perceived distance between the "less nutritious" brand and the "ideal" brand, and in creating a lower level of satisfaction with the chosen brand which appears to be related to a desire for more information. It appears that with respect to the effects hypothesized in this study, exposure to expectancy-discrepant information may cause consumers to reevaluate their attitudes toward a brand or, at least, desire further information to clarify the discrepancy revealed. Both of these effects are desirable from a consumer protection point of view when considering a situation where currently held consumer beliefs are based on erroneous information.
Further research is needed to evaluate the effects of expectancy-discrepant information on consumers and to evaluate the impact of adjectival descriptors over time.

...and the fly rod. No picture-worthy fish though.
Later in the week Charlie W. and Jim W. [not related] came on board.
Day started slowly but we eventually found fish around the bridges.
We were drifting with the incoming tide and picking up several fish on each drift.
Once again, all schoolies although this near-keeper was worth a photo.
On one drift we actually had three fish on at the same time.
We were casting up under the I-95 bridge but the work boat came over and told us not to go so far under as there was work going on above and if they dropped something!
We got out of there.
Caught a bunch of fish.
Nice photo that Charlie W. took earlier in the month.

Under section 10 of the Children First Act, 2015 The Board of Management of St Audoen’s NS has a statutory obligation to ensure, as far as practicable, that children are safe from harm while they are attending the school or while participating in school activities. St Audoen’s NS recognises it’s duty of care to their pupils and the BOM will always be cognisant of the need for prudent practice from a child protection perspective.
The Board of Management (BOM) recognises that child protection and welfare considerations permeate all aspects of school life and must be reflected in all of the school’s policies, practices and activities. Accordingly, in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Education and Skills, Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools, the BOM of St Audoen’s NS has agreed the following child protection policy.
The BOM has adopted and will implement fully and without modification the Department’s Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools as part of this overall child protection policy.
The Designated Liaison Person (DLP) is Ms Meagher.
The Deputy Designated Liaison Person (Deputy DLP) is Mr Davern.
Certain policies such as St Audoens’ Code of Behaviour, Anti-bullying Policy, Attendance Policy and the Supervision of Pupils Policy will take particular account of this Child Protection & Safeguarding Policy. This policy will also be considered with reference to the participation by pupils in sporting activities, other extra-curricular activities and school outings. Other practices and activities, where child protection might have particular relevance, will take due consideration of the procedures outlined within this policy. The Board has ensured that the necessary policies, protocols or practices as appropriate are in place in respect of each of the above listed items.
The Children First Act, 2015 has placed a statutory obligation on specific people to report child protection concerns that are at or above a threshold of harm (as defined in that Act) to Tusla. Such persons are referred to as “mandated persons” under the Act. All teachers who are registered with the Teaching Council are mandated persons under the Children First Act, 2015.
Under the Children First Act, 2015 registered teachers as mandated persons are required to report to Tusla any knowledge, belief or reasonable grounds to suspect that a child has been harmed, is being harmed, or is at risk of being harmed. The Act defines harm as assault, ill-treatment, neglect or sexual abuse, and covers single and multiple instances.
Neglect is defined as “to deprive the child of adequate food, warmth, clothing, hygiene, supervision, safety or medical care”. The threshold of harm, at which a registered teacher as a mandated person has a statutory obligation to report to Tusla under the Children First Act, 2015 is reached when he or she knows, believes or has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child’s needs have been neglected, are being neglected, or are at risk of being neglected to the point where the child’s health, development or welfare have been or are being seriously affected, or are likely to be seriously affected.
Ill-treatment is defined as: “to abandon or cruelly treat the child, or to cause or procure or allow the child to be abandoned or cruelly treated”. Emotional abuse is covered in the definition of ill-treatment used in the Children First Act, 2015. The threshold of harm, at which a registered teacher as a mandated person has a statutory obligation to report to Tusla under the Children First Act, 2015 is reached when he or she knows, believes or has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child has been, is being or is at risk of being ill-treated to the point where the child’s health, development or welfare have been or are being seriously affected, or are likely to be seriously affected.
Physical abuse is covered in the references to assault in the Children First Act, 2015. The threshold of harm, at which a registered teacher as a mandated person has a statutory obligation to report to Tusla under the Children First Act, 2015 is reached when he or she knows, believes or has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child has been, is being or is at risk of being assaulted and that as a result the child’s health, development or welfare have been or are being seriously affected, or are likely to be seriously affected.
A registered teacher as a mandated person who knows, believes or has reasonable grounds to suspect that a child has been, is being, or is at risk of being sexually abused has a statutory obligation to report this to Tusla under the Children First Act, 2015. Sexual abuse to be reported under the Children First Act, 2015 [as amended by section 55 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017] is defined as an offence against the child, as listed in Schedule 3 of the Children First Act, 2015.
An abused child is likely to be under severe emotional stress. Great care shall be taken not to damage that trust.
When information is offered in confidence, the member of school personnel will need tact and sensitivity in responding to the disclosure. The member of school personnel will need to reassure the child, and endeavour to retain his or her trust, while explaining the need for action which will necessarily involve other adults being informed. It is important to tell the child that everything possible will be done to protect and support him or her, but not to make promises that cannot be kept e.g. promising not to tell anyone else. Allegations of abuse or neglect are dealt with in a sensitive, competent and professional way through listening to and facilitating the child to tell about the problem.
Tusla has the authority to share information concerning a child, who is the subject of a risk assessment with a mandated person who has been asked to provide assistance.
Information that Tusla shares with a registered teacher, including a DLP, where that teacher is assisting Tusla to carry out an assessment, must not be shared by the registered teacher with a third party, unless Tusla considers it appropriate and authorises in writing that the information may be shared. This is in keeping with the principles of data protection which recognise that in certain circumstances information can be shared in the interests of child protection, but that such sharing must be necessary and proportionate.
Section 17 of the Children First Act, 2015 makes it an offence for a person to disclose information to a third party which has been shared by Tusla during the course of an assessment arising from a mandated report, save in accordance with law, or unless Tusla has given that person written authorisation to do so. Failure to comply with this section of the Act is an offence liable to a fine or imprisonment for up to six months or both.
Guest speakers and visiting teachers of varying disciplines, employed by the BOM of St Audoen’s NS to perform specific duties, will not be left work with a class alone.
In all situations where a pupil needs assistance with toileting/intimate care, a meeting will be convened, after admission and before the child starts school, between parents/guardians, class teacher, special needs assistant, SEN Coordinator and/or Principal/Deputy Principal and if appropriate the pupil. The purpose of the meeting will be to ascertain the specific needs of the child and to determine how the school can best meet those needs. The staff to be involved in this care will be identified and provision will be made for occasions when the particular staff involved are absent.
Clean underwear and suitable clothing will be kept in the school so that if a pupil has an ‘accident’ of this nature, they will in the first instance be offered fresh clothing into which they can change.
If the pupil for whatever reason cannot clean or change themselves and the parents/guardians cannot be contacted, the child will be assisted by members of staff familiar to the child. In such situations, two members of staff should, when possible, be present. A record of all such incidents will be kept and parents will be notified.
The school toilet facilities are not open to the public. Children’s toilets are for the sole use of the students of St Audoen’s NS and are not suitable for parents, visitors or children not attending this school. Our students may use the toilets within the school opening hours. Staff toilets are for staff use only, this includes visitors/guest speakers/guest teachers. Staff toilets are not open to the public.
While every precaution will be taken to ensure the safety of children, we realise that accidents will happen. Accidents will be noted in our Incident Log Book and will be addressed under our First Aid & Accident Procedures.
It is the policy in this school that one-to-one teaching is often in the best interest of the child. Every effort will be made to ensure that this teaching takes place in an open environment.
Pupils will be expected to dress and undress themselves for Games/ PE/ Swimming. Where assistance is needed this will be done in the communal area and with the consent of parents. Under no circumstances will members of staff/ volunteers be expected to or allowed to dress/undress a child in a cubicle/private area. In such situations where privacy is required, the parents/guardians of the child will be asked to assist the child. While every effort will be made to adhere to best practice as agreed and outlined above, in the event of an emergency where this is not possible or practicable, a full record of the incident should be made and reported to the Principal and parents.
Our school attendance will be monitored as per our Attendance Policy. With regards to Child Protection, we will pay particular attention to trends in non-attendance. We will also monitor non-attendance in correlation with signs of neglect/physical/emotional abuse. All parents and children will be made aware of attendance rules and their implications as laid down in the Education Welfare Act (2000). The school’s Attendance Policy outlines the procedures parents and children should use when contacting the school if there are absences or concerns of an educational/personal/family matter.
Children are encouraged at all times to play co-operatively; inappropriate behaviour will be addressed under our Code of Behaviour. If an incident occurs which we consider to be of a sexualised nature we will notify the DLP who will record it and respond to it appropriately.
Every effort will be made to enhance pupil-teacher communication. If pupils have concerns they will be listened to sympathetically. The SPHE/Oral Language/RSE programmes allow for open pupil-teacher communication, which is hoped will aid the pupil-teacher relationship. Parents are encouraged to make an appointment with the class teacher/principal if they wish to discuss their child’s progress.
It is the intention of the Principal and Staff at St Audoen’s to ensure that child protection concerns will be addressed in the school’s Mobile Phone Use and Social Media Use Policy. Children will be made aware of Internet Safety through class lessons and guest speakers and the school’s ICT Policy & Digital Citizenship and Internet Acceptable Use Programmes .
The school’s Supervision Policy will be followed by all staff to ensure that there is comprehensive supervision of children at all times. A rota is displayed and shared amongst staff. Mornig supervision begins at 8:15am.
In accordance with section 11 of the Children First Act 2015 and with the requirement of Chapter 8 of the Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post-Primary Schools 2017 the following is the Written Risk Assessment of St Audoen’s NS which was completed January 2019.
Clear Drop-off and Collection Guidelines.
If you would like more details on our Child Protection Procedures; please contact the school through Reception.
St Audoen’s National School is a primary providing primary education to pupils from Junior Infants to Sixth Class.
In accordance with the requirements of the Children First Act 2015, Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children 2017, the Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools 2017 and Tusla Guidance on the preparation of Child Safeguarding Statements, the Board of Management of St Audoen’s NS has agreed the Child Safeguarding Statement set out in this document.
The Designated Liaison Person (DLP) is Ms Eilish Meagher.
The Deputy Designated Liaison Person (DDLP) is Mr Nick Davern.
The school will also adhere to the above principles in relation to any pupil with a special vulnerability.
In this school the Board has appointed the above named DLP: Eilish Meagher as the “relevant person” (as defined in the Children First Act 2015) to be the first point of contact in respect of the child safeguarding statement.
This Child Safeguarding Statement was reviewed by the Board of Management in March 2019.
