Keep your wits in chaotic situations. Success depends upon it. The irony is, keeping one’s wits is grounded in simplicity. It is challenging and can take all you have. It is a daily, constant activity.
Avoid confusing simplicity with a naive belief everything will work out somehow. Rather, it is about letting go of the urge to react when forces are demanding that you do. It is about keeping eyes and ears open and just seeing what is. This simplicity is a reflection of an on-going process rather than a goal. It has to be a process because of the fluidity of the situation. There is a constant shifting. Customers change their mind. Lead engineers quit. Technologies change. The list goes on.
Developing an understanding of the situation.
Practice discipline. Do what is right.
If everything were okay, what would I do?
Know what principles apply to each profession on the project. Work within acceptable variances determined by the relationships between principles. For example, sales should be aware of engineering limitations when negotiating options with customers. In turn, the engineers should be aware of how much flexibility they can maintain in order to support sales and accept some level or risk.
Maintain awareness. Stop. Breathe. Look.
Risk letting go of thinking about consequences, especially the ones that have personal impact. Clarity will surface. The picture may be pretty and then again it may not. The point is you’ll have a clear picture! From there you can move on to the next step.
Develop an understanding of the situation. Think.
By having a clear picture you can now think in a realistic manner. What does this mean? It means moving around in the space created by the first two steps mentioned above. Thinking grounded in this behavior leads to an understanding of the situation. The ability to see how things really are and what they could be surfaces. An understanding develops as to what it takes to get the job done.
The boundary between flexing and breaking comes into sharper focus. Change orders developed based on this approach are usually right on the mark. You will see when to dive into the details and when to pull back and let the team work it out. You’ll also see when scope needs to be cut or time added.
Being simple is part of the secret of being a good leader – something required in complex situations where managing is insufficient. | 2019-04-24T13:51:26 | http://www.activegarage.com/tag/business-management |
In the previous post we considered a message from external entity that needs to be processed to determine which process instance it should be routed to. But at least there were no incertainity about which process template (process type) the message corresponds: client requests a credit card from a clerk (credit card issuance process), CV arrives to Human Resources (enrollment process), payment notification reaches Finance (sales process).
Now let’s consider more complicated case: documents arrive to the company’s post address by traditional mail. They don’t reach process participant’s desk directly but go to the general administration office.
Fig.1 Client’s documents magically reach “his” process.
As we found in the previous post, there is an implication at the diagram on fig.1: it should be figured out somewhere which particular process instance the arrived documents are for - a simple yet necessary activity.
Fig.2. “Incoming Processor” pattern: which process instance are these documents addressed to?
The easiest way to identify the request is by the reference number in the accompanying client’s letter. If there is no accompanying letter (we should be prepared for this scenario) then we should just look at the sender - probably we have just one active request from this client. If there are more than one then requests attributes should be compared with the documents received. Generally speaking, successful identification isn’t granted - e.g. the documents could arrive when the main credit process has timed out.
But who will obtain the documents sent by the client - right the performer of the credit process? Sometimes this is the case - it may go this way when adressee’s name and department are specified on the envelope. But we can’t be sure about it: the addressing may be wrong or incomplete, the case could be reassigned to other performer. In the general case documents will arrive to the bank’s administrative office.
Fig.3. Which messages relate to the process A and which ones to the process B?
The implication of the scheme on fig.3: when the office receives a letter saying “please provide a credit for our company…” there is no writing on the envelope saying that this is a start message for credit request process. An incoming letter or documents package is all the office worker can see at first glance.
Fig.5. “Post Office” pattern: centralized processing of all inbound and outbound correspondence.
One more thing: it’s better to use BPMN signals instead of messages in communications between the Post Office and applied processes, as depicted on fig.5.
Let me remind that signals are a sort of broadcast messages: unlike messages, they are sent not to a single process instance but to all processes awaiting it at the moment. But this aspect doesn’t matter in this case because we are dealing only with start events.
There is another reason to use signals: they provide late binding. When messages are used, one should specify sender and receiver processes at design time. In case of signal receivers are determined at run time - when it was fired. So if messages were used all processes would become interconnected via the inbound docflow; signals let us create independent diagrams for each fragment separated by dashed lines on fig.5.
First, it’s not always possible to replace original with copy.
More importantly, we are not in position to say to business “your procedure is too cumbersome, I can’t implement it with BPMN/BPMS so you have to streamline it”. Sure you may and should warn business that implementing the procedure this way would be harder and more expensive but it should be doable.
Never give lightweight advices to business - it has issues to solve and compromises to find while dealing with matters more complicated than BPMN.
The case considered above was raisied by a student at my BPMN training. Well it wasn’t a bank but a company that have a lot of mail exchange with different regulation bodies. All this mail goes in a very traditional way and changing it means re-educating all this government offices. The company don’t need this kind of optimization, thanks a lot.
Анатолий, а если клиент не вставит «в ответ на ваш исходящий № …», то организовывается процесс “Разбирательство……”. Я правильно понял?
Конечно. То, что я нарисовал,- это голая схема, скелет. “Идентифицировать тип документа” можно (и нужно, если мы решаем реальную бизнес-задачу) превратить в подпроцесс и накрутить в нем бизнес-логику, эскалации и т.п. По принципу “были бы кости, а мясо нарастет”. То же самое с идентификацией экземпляра процесса в Обработчике входящих.
It sounds to me like: Anatoly, i’ve noticed that you have two ears. Have a dobry day.
В последней схеме ивенты сигналов отправителя и получателя должны быть названы одинаково.
И еще: обработчик событий посылает сигнал о поступлении дополнительных документов в процесс А. И при этом ВСЕ процессы А срабатывают на этот сигнал.
По поводу названий: спасибо за замечание, это погрешность перевода с английского на русский.
По поводу сигнала: он принимается *стартовым* событием, какие тут “все процессы А”?
Сорь, с сигналом ошиблась: для старта процесса работает. Перепутала с промежуточным событием.
Возможно, я не до конца понимаю сути задачи, но у меня вопрос следующий: А что, если типов процессов А и В будет не два, как в этом примере, а много больше, как в реальной жизни. Мало того, эти типы процессов меняются (дополняются и изменяются) часто. Все время помнить о том, что в процессе на рис 3 под названием “Входящий документооборот” необходимо поддерживать исходящие от развилки ветки в актуальном состоянии довольно проблематично. Есть ли паттерн проектирования, который помог бы избежать подобного затруднения?
Смущает использование артефакта Data Object для “БД исходящих документов”. Разве это не должно быть Data Store? Как я понимаю DO существует только в период жизни экземпляра процесса (в данном случае процесса “Исходящий документооборот”), а нам нужно получить доступ к информации об уже отправленном исходящем документе, т.е. вне периода жизни экземпляра процесса. ИМХО в этом случае уместно использовать DS. Разве нет?
Абсолютно справедливое замечание, в BPMN 2.0 дело обстоит точно так, как Вы написали.
Просто на момент написания этой заметки Bizagi Modeler поддерживал только BPMN 1.2. В рамках этой версии все изображено корректно. | 2019-04-19T16:21:13 | http://mainthing.ru/item/487/ |

With experts predicting a global economic slowdown, oil prices could fall to $60 a barrel, or lower - with gas prices soon to follow.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As the world loses confidence in the foundations of its economic system, the silver lining may be that oil prices are about to get a whole lot cheaper.
In a new report Friday, Deutsche Bank uses a number of interesting yard sticks to suggest crude is currently way too expensive and may fall to the $60 a barrel range as the economy worsens.
And the bank does expect the economy to worsen, painting a bleak picture - caused be the current financial turmoil - but stopping just short of predicting a multi-year recession.
The bank says it expects GDP growth to slow by 1.5% over the next few years - and hints that things could get even worse.
"Indeed if one examines the banking sector crises in Japan and Sweden, economic output declined for at least two years following the crisis," Adam Sieminski, the bank's chief energy economist, wrote in a research note. If the global economy slows to less than 2% growth a year, "oil prices could spiral down, much like they escalated in 2007."
Other analysts see oil prices going through the floor.
"As night follows day, low oil prices have always followed high prices, and the decline has always been swifter than the advance," said Peter Beutel, an oil analyst at Cameron Hanover.
Beutel sees a 2009 low of around $50 or $60 a barrel, then even lower prices in 2010.
"I'm not going to rule out some extraordinarily low numbers, even $20 a barrel," he said, acknowledging that five months ago many respectable analysts though we'd never go below $100. "Whatever the market does, it's going to make us all look like fools."
Deutsche Bank compared oil prices to several other measures, and came to the conclusion that "crude oil is the most richly priced commodity currently."
Compared to crude's historic price average of $35 a barrel, it's currently 100% higher, higher than any other commodity. The next highest is gold, at 56%. Many other metals are only 20 to 30% higher.
And contrary to press reports talking about how expensive food is, adjusted for inflation many food stuffs are actually lower than their long-term historical average price, according to the report.
Relative to per capita income, the bank said oil prices would have to fall to about $45 a barrel to return crude to it's historical average.
In the early 1970s, the average American family could buy about 1,000 barrels of oil on a year's salary. That 1,000 barrels was the norm for most of the last few decades, with the exception of the early 1980s and 2008, when that number dropped to around 300 barrels of oil. Today, oil would have to cost around $45 a barrel for the average family to afford 1000 barrels.
The bank also calculated how high oil prices have to be for OPEC countries to maintain their budgets. Iran and Venezuela, who are often the first to call for production cuts, need the highest price per barrel - $95.
Russia needs about $70, while Saudi Arabia, OPEC's largest producer and de facto ruler, needs about $55 a barrel.
Other measures pointed to a higher price for oil. The bank estimates crude needs to cost $80 a barrel to keep new production coming online, and as a percent of a U.S. consumer's disposable income, current prices are about average.
But taking all these measures together, the bank says $60 a barrel seems like a probable place for oil prices to bottom out.
That would represent a gasoline price of just over $2 a gallon. Good news for motorists burned at paying over $4 a gallon for much of the summer, but bad news if that price drop at the pump also comes with a pink slip from the boss.

VIP special events are a great way in which to help your organization, or even your community, socialize with one another in an informal and fun manner. However, for your VIP event to be a triumphant success, it is vital that you book appropriate entertainment to not only cater for all who attend, but to also help make a focal part of the night that everyone will remember.
Using Comedy Magic Adam Trent brings a fresh new face to an old profession. Combining original dance and music with original magic, Adam Trent puts on a magic show like no one else in show business.

Adam Trent has taken his live stage show around the world to audiences of all calibers. His entertaining magic and original dance has been featured on TV including the Disney Channel’s Shake It Up.
With his lively and entertaining dance routines and highly skilled magic, Trent is building a reputation among the media as well. “Adam Trent is best described as Justin Timberlake meets David Copperfield,” says GP4T Magazine.
If you are looking to book entertainment for your next VIP event, Adam Trent will not disappoint. Impress your audience with Trent’s overwhelming charm and talent for performance. Trent puts on a show like no one else that audience members will be talking about for years to come.
At any time that you are responsible for booking entertainment for a large function, there are some factors which you must take into consideration. Although entertainment should be lighthearted, it must not be approached in the same manner as your entertainment must be high quality, appropriate and be something which perfectly fits the theme of the evening. Opting to book just any entertainer or look for an artist who may only cater for a few attending will simply be a recipe for disaster.
Joe Castillo uses sand art as his medium and creates fluid art that tells a story. Sand Art is amazing. The sand shows up black on a smooth surfaced drawing board lit up with a backlight. Castillo’s storytelling technique is creative, interesting, and unique. Castillo’s brush strokes are thumb and fingertip strokes that astonish the viewer along every step of the story.
When it comes to booking quality entertainment for corporate or VIP events, it is essential that you steer away from any performers who are less than wholesome. Just one or two bad jokes could be enough to make the whole evening turn sour which may not only be uncomfortable for the crowd but will also be damaging to your reputation. One of the easiest ways to avoid this issue is to look only for entertainers who specialize in performing family-friendly entertainment. This way, not only will your guests be provided with quality entertainment, but they will also be free from offense.
When choosing the ideal entertainer for your event, you also need to identify what kind of crowd you can expect. If your guests are likely to be rowdy, then they will best suit a comedian of high caliber. However, if you were planning an event for more senior members, they may prefer something more relaxing and suitable, such as a live band. When booking entertainment for a corporate event, you need to be firstly aware of the purpose for the event and then be sure of what the likes and dislikes are of those who will be in attendance.
The Panic Squad is an improv comedy troupe focused on showing the world that it does not have to be dirty to be funny.
Here, the Panic Squad performs The Numbers Game. In this video, the Squad begins by getting some suggestions from the audience for types of blue collar jobs. The audience chooses a plumber. Given this subject, each participating member of the Squad is then given a number selected by the audience. This number represents how many words per sentence that member of the Squad must use.
Each member then takes their turn joining into and acting out a small scene involving a plumber during which the conversation is limited to each member’s respective word quota. A man attempts to shower but finds his facilities are malfunctioning. A plumber shows up just then to fix the problem. Can the Squad manage to get the plumbing fixed? How did the plumbing stop working in the first place? Is that a Jedi and a ninja?!
Enjoy this hilarious, family friendly and entertaining video and find out!

I have to hand it to Burt's Bees, just when I thought it wasn't possible to love the brand any more, they come up with this ridiculously cute Honey Pot gift set* for Christmas.
I'm a big sucker for packaging, so the hanging honey pot design definitely drew me in, but it's not all style of substance - inside the pot you'll find a Honey Lip Balm, Beeswax Lip Balm and a handbag sized pot of Hand Salve. I've always found Burt's Bees lip balms to be super hydrating and long-lasting. you don't need to re-apply them every 5 minutes like some!
For £7.99 I think this is the perfect stocking filler for Christmas. The glass jar will make a lovely candle holder and you get a great value set of products inside that I think any beauty addict will love.
You can find the Honey Pot online from Burt's Bees and in store at larger Boots.
What do you think of this cute stocking filler?
I love it! The packaging is a dream. Burt's Bees is defo a stocking essential so it's great they did a little gift set!
I've heard about the wonders of beeswax. Let me give your Burt's Bees a try.

Between the Hammer and the Anvil: What Is A "Responsibility To Protect"?
What Is A "Responsibility To Protect"?
This is Nicolas and David. Hello, Nicolas and David! Nicolas and David love all of the good people of the world very much. When bad people hurt the good people of the world, Nicolas and David get very sad. When Nicolas and David get very sad, they say lots of things about a "Responsibility to Protect" the good people.
So when a bad man called Colonel Gaddafi threatened to hurt some good people in a place called Benghazi, Nicolas and David were very sad. "We cannot stand by while Colonel Gaddafi launches indiscriminate attacks on the good people in Benghazi with warplanes and artillery", says David. "Yes", says Nicolas. "We have a thing called a 'Responsibility to Protect' the good people of the world. We will protect the good people by launching indiscriminate attacks on the bad people with warplanes and artillery".
Do you know what a "Responsibility to Protect" is, children? It's a special law thing that Nicolas and David use to help the good people who are being bombed and shot at. Can you imagine how horrible it would be if you, your Mummy, your Daddy and all your friends were being bombed and shot at? That would be terrible!
So Nicolas and David help the good people by bombing and shooting at the bad people who are bombing and shooting at them, and also by bombing and shooting at the bad people's Mummies and Daddies and all their friends!
Nicolas and David are very, very brave.
This is Sirte. Sirte is a place that is far away. All the bad people live in Sirte. Nicolas and David are not actually sure how many of the people that live in Sirte are bad people, but once Nicolas and David and their new friends are finished bombing and shooting at them, they won't be able to tell us whether they are bad people or not! Nicolas and David are very clever.
To help them to protect the good people, Nicolas and David use some special tools to bomb and shoot at the bad people in Sirte and their Mummies and Daddies and all their friends. This is a Panavia Tornado GR1. It is a big plane that makes lots of noise. It fires big rockets that go Whoosh! and then go Bang! and make all the bad people fall down dead. We know they are bad people because Nicolas and David's new friends say that they are bad people. So they must be bad!
This is an artillery battery. Artillery batteries fire big bombs that go Whoosh! and Bang! and make the bad people fall down dead, as well as making everybody else within a fifty metre radius fall down dead too! Artillery batteries are silly things, because they don't know the difference between bad people and bad people's Mummies and Daddies and all their friends. They make everybody fall down dead! Nicolas and David's new friends like artillery batteries very much. Nicolas and David's new friends are using lots and lots of artillery batteries so that the bad people can't use artillery batteries. Using artillery batteries is bad, except when the good people use them!
This is a flak gun. It fires lots and lots of big bullets very, very quickly. A flak gun is used to shoot down planes, but Ooops! The bad people don't have any planes! Nicolas and David's new friends use a flak gun to shoot at snipers. Snipers are bad men who hide in buildings and do bad things. Nicolas and David's new friends are afraid to go into the buildings to stop the bad men doing bad things. So Nicolas and David's new friends use a flak gun to fire lots and lots of big bullets into the buildings, floor by floor, room by room, for a very long time indeed, until all of the bad people inside fall down dead. The bullets are so quick and so big that they go right through the building and out the other side and into other buildings! They make everybody in the building fall down dead, as well as making everybody in other buildings behind them fall down dead too! Can you imagine?
These are the bad people's Mummies and Daddies and all their friends. After Nicolas and David and their new friends had been bombing and shooting at the bad people and their Mummies and Daddies and all their friends for a week, they stopped bombing and shooting for a little while, to let some of the Mummies and Daddies and friends run away. That was nice of Nicolas and David, wasn't it? A lot of silly Mummies and Daddies didn't run away and are still in Sirte. Silly Mummies and Daddies! I wonder how many Mummies and Daddies fell down dead? Who knows?
And this is Mr Terrorist. Hello, Mr Terrorist! Mr Terrorist is a bad man. Nicolas and David's new friends can tell that Mr Terrorist is a bad man because he is brown. He wants to use planes and artillery batteries and flak guns to hurt the good people! Nicolas and David have stopped him from hurting the good people by bombing and shooting at Mr Terrorist, as well as Mr Terrorist's Mummy, Mr Terrorist's Daddy and all of Mr Terrorist's friends. Nicolas and David's new friends might make sure that Mr Terrorist can't hurt any more good people by shooting Mr Terrorist in the back of the head and burying him in a little hole in the ground. If they do that, then policemen can't find Mr Terrorist. Nicolas and David's new friends do not like brown people very much. Silly Mr Terrorist!
And that's what the "Responsibility to Protect" means, children! Thank goodness that Nicolas and David and their new friends are clever and brave enough to help the good people by bombing and shooting at all the bad people, their Mummies and Daddies and all their friends.

Whoops. Turns out the area will be called 'Exotic World'.
Along with Tiki Waka and Tiki Trail, which will also go other the park's boat ride, the façades for the arena (still-disused) and Challenge of Tutankhamon will get makeovers to fit in with the area. There's also going to be a new juice and cocktail bar, and new music by IMA score, the second time the park have worked with them, after Pulsar.
In other news, there's no news regarding the 2021 mega coaster - any layouts shown are just to give a rough indication of what is expected, and no manufacturer has been confirmed. But it is still going to happen.. Also, the Coccinelle kiddie coaster, which was removed to make way for Tiki Waka and meant to go next to the park's woodie this year, is apparently now going to be put in storage until that area is rethemed in 2021.
So one cred in, one cred out. Unacceptable.
I'm also under the impression that the layout will differ slightly to the video linked a while back, but that's not confirmed..
Tiki Waka's circuit was completed at the beginning of the month, but the Tiki Trail still is not. Testing still hasn't begun as a result and the area isn't near completion yet, so the opening of Exotic World (which was meant to be this week) has been delayed, with no new date set yet.
It would appear it's all the rage these days for new attractions to open late, this will be no different.
Opening is now set for April 7th (a week Saturday)!
Exact source I'm not sure about, but this is supposedly what the station for the mega coaster will look like. If true, Walibi really are hitting the sweet spot with theming!
That concept looks fab. Almost looks like something from Efteling or Phantasialand.
Coming in 2021. Note that, sadly, the new Intamin at Asterix will be 51m tall, so this will only be the highest coaster in the Benelux. Burn.
Again, another mental-looking coaster from Intamin; that final third looks insane.
It's weird, between the first drop and the final set of airtime hills it looks a bit, eh?
Some of those elements seem strange yet interesting, but the airtime hills and turns towards the end look fantastic.
Still looks a great coaster though, to say the least.
More details of the new land for next year, which is being called 'Karma World'. The plan is for all areas to be rethemed by 2022 and will follow the '_____ world' naming. Not a fan of that idea as it can sound tiresome, but heyho.
They seem to have strayed away from the original Bollywood theme a bit, which makes sense given Popcorn Revenge, so it'll be interesting to see how the whole area feels.
On top of this, there is another rethemed area coming - Fun World, which I believe will be the kids area near Psyke Underground. This will also get a brand new kiddie coaster for 2019.
Loving the terrible punny names. I don't think the scenes in the ride will be inspired by those particular IPs (I believe it's more generic). In saying that, who wouldn't love to shoot popcorn in a Walking Dead universe?
The surrounding area isn't technically finished, with extra touches still being added.
The park had originally planned to do up the entrance plaza this year, then their Wild West area next year (including a Mack Twist n Splash and Gerstlauer Sky Fly). The new entrance plaza didn't happen, but will now happen next year. The Wild West area is being delayed for now, and instead a new area with Pulsar, Pskye Underground (Schwarzkopf shuttle launch) and the park's log flume will be themed up; a smaller thing which wasn't meant to happen until 2022/23. | 2019-04-23T04:47:03 | https://forum.maniahub.com/topic/11169-walibi-belgium/page/3/?tab=comments |

On the dust jacket of Elements of Surprise is the well-known picture by John Tenniel, illustrator of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), depicting Alice gazing up at the grinning Cheshire Cat perched on a branch of a tree. I felt very much like Alice while reading Vera Tobin’s book, as if I had fallen into a world in which the rules, concepts, and vocabulary were completely alien to my own.
In her analysis of surprise in plot, Tobin, a cognitive scientist at Case Western Reserve University in the United States, is primarily interested in two issues: how it can happen that in book after book, readers can be surprised, even though the same plot tricks are used over and over again; and secondly, how readers can believe one thing through several chapters, then, when a surprise is revealed, easily switch to another view without condemning the whole novel as incoherent. These are questions that no fiction writer would ask; rather, we assume that such reader responses will occur if we writers do our job properly, if we create coherent narratives fuelled by secrets and mysteries, desires and ambitions, all carried by fleshed-out, credible characters. | 2019-04-23T08:51:44 | https://www.australianbookreview.com.au/abr-online/archive/2018/226-august-2018-no-403/5007-andrea-goldsmith-reviews-elements-of-surprise-our-mental-limits-and-the-satisfactions-of-plot-by-vera-tobin |

Tom Crean – A Poem by Ronnie J. Smith.
I recently wrote an article about Ronnie J. Smith’s success in having Aeronautical Waypoints, in Antarctica, named after Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s ponies, and Roald Amundsen’s sled dogs. It was during correspondence at this time that Ronnie shared with me, one of his many wonderful poems, written in honour of the Irish Giant – Tom Crean.
The poem is taken from one of his excellent poetry collections, which is entitled The Last White Ruby: The Vanishing Polar Circles, and among the many other poems are The Explorers, Shackleton, To The Sled Dog and Sonnet To The South Pole Ponies, to mention but a few.
“I often thought when working in the polar environment, how I wish others could see and experience what I was experiencing. This book of poems allows me to give a glimpse of that experience. I was, and still am, very grateful for being able to spend so much time within these arid, icy and pure spectacles of nature. It was easy to be inspired once the work of the day had passed. It is similar to the other poetry books I’ve written in that the underlying spirituality of the “place” is consumed by external forces acting upon it. These constant dynamics make writing about it a challenge and a satisfying endeavor.” – Ronnie J. Smith.
“I confronted the many faces of the Arctic and Antarctic, spanning that diversity sometimes in a matter of minutes. I often felt thrust into breathtaking polar panorama. My experience has led me to its natural and sleeping beauty; and compelled me to write for and from this soul, still wild and fragile.” – Ronnie J. Smith.
The roiling sea to the frozen bight.
The silver throats of waves delight!
The silver throats of waves delight.
With thanks to Ronnie J. Smith.
Scott’s Ponies and Amundsen’s Dogs immortalised in the Southern Skies.
The names of the many great Antarctic explorers of the , are well known, widely documented and duly remembered. The feats of Amundsen, Scott, Shackleton, Worsley, Crean and Wild, to mention but a few, still evoke passion, admiration, pride and indeed much discussion and debate. | 2019-04-23T02:57:04 | http://tomcreandiscovery.com/?p=3579&share=email |
Kellyanne Conway, who ran Donald Trump's presidential campaign and now works with his transition team, told MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on Tuesday that the president-elect doesn't plan to follow through with one of the central promises of his campaign.
Conway confirmed Scarborough's reporting that Trump won't “be pursuing investigations" against his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and suggested that Republicans in Congress probably would get that message.
“I think when the president-elect who's also the head of your party now, Joe,” Conway said, “tells you before he's even inaugurated he doesn't wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone and content to the members.
There's a tacit admission there that Trump's insistence that he would prosecute Clinton was all campaign rhetoric. But what's missing from Conway's response is the simple, important fact that Trump, as president, doesn't have the authority to demand that Clinton be prosecuted — and that it's a good thing that no president does.
We spoke by phone with Columbia University professor Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor who has consulted with the Justice and Treasury departments. He explained how and where the president can leverage his authority over the government's criminal investigatory mechanisms.
Richman said that the president can, through his attorney general, target broad areas for focus.
Richman points out that it's not completely unheard of for a president to seek to target individual people, citing the example of New York drug dealer Nicky Barnes, who appeared on the front of the New York Times Magazine in 1977 to President Jimmy Carter's great annoyance.
The goal is simple: to maintain the independence of federal investigators and prosecutors from political influence. “I think the bottom line is, I think both sides realize that if prosecutors become seen as carrying water for the president, it will not be a good thing for federal enforcement in general, or for that case in particular,” he said. The system is designed to prevent the occupant of the White House from using federal investigations for political purposes in precisely the way that Trump once threatened to do.
The Washington Post's Ellen Nakashima spoke with another expert who echoed the same idea.
"Once again, the president-elect has demonstrated his complete lack of understanding of how the government makes these kinds of decisions," said Stephen I. Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas at Austin. "The attorney general answers to the president, but the department is supposed to be independent, especially when it comes to prosecutorial decisions. Any president, especially our next president, needs to both understand and respect that – or else they risk politicizing criminal prosecutions in ways that can be damaging."
Richman pointed out how many layers a potential prosecution would need to filter through: the FBI, the lawyers in the Justice Department (who, he points out, “generally are not shrinking violets when it comes to complaints of political interference"), the judiciary — and ultimately the jury that would have to convict.
“There are all these different institutions that are required for a criminal case to go forward and to conclusion that are not beholden to the president and are very much not intended to be beholden to the president,” he added.
In brushing away the idea that Trump would transform his frequent campaign pledge into reality, Conway suggested that the president-elect was being generous, not that he didn't have the power to act anyway.
In a Fox News Channel poll conducted right before the election, a majority of Americans said they thought Trump wasn't honest or trustworthy either. | 2019-04-18T13:25:25 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/22/donald-trumps-threat-to-prosecute-hillary-clinton-was-always-hollow/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.b47a68db44e1 |

Adam McKay and Will Ferrell know how to make unusual situations funny – from reading the news (Anchorman) to NASCAR (Talladega Nights). So when we hear that they are tackling the short-lived and completely bizarre NBC drama Manimal for a potential feature, we hardly bat an eye.
You didn’t watch Manimal? I can’t say that I blame you. The television program only ran from September 30 to December 17, 1983 – amassing only eight episodes. Can that be right? The description on Wikipedia is so perfect, I just want to share it with you in its entirety.
The show centers on the character Dr. Jonathan Chase (Simon MacCorkindale), a shape-shifting man who possessed the ability to turn himself into any animal he chose. He used this ability to help the police solve crimes."
Which brings us back to Adam McKay and Will Ferrell. Don’t worry. I’ll hurry back to Manimal. It’s too great not to obsess over. But for now, Deadline reports that the Anchorman duo will produce a Manimal movie through their Gary Sanchez Productions. Key & Peele executive producer Jay Martel and Ian Roberts have been tapped to write the screenplay, and that’s a very good sign. In an intriguing bit of information, Deadline says that the movie will rely on "heavy visual effects and animated elements."
What they don’t say is whether or not Will Ferrell will take the role of Jonathan Chase – the shape-shifting crime fighter. Chances are probably good, as a project like Manimal is right up the alley of the actor who tried to being back both Bewitched and Land of the Lost. Seriously, Will, you don’t have to remake every TV show you watched growing up.
"Like The Catcher In The Rye or The Sound And The Fury, Manimal has always been one of those elusive projects every producer dreams of taking to the silver screen. I know the movie will be funny and entertaining, but will it be the first film to win a Pulitzer? We’ll just have to see."
We will continue to track Manimal’s every crucial step from page to screen. | 2019-04-20T14:26:06 | https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Ferrell-Adam-McKay-Bringing-Cult-Show-Manimal-Big-Screen-66382.html |
Anyone who has ever had an eye test will probably have had to wear heavy glasses and read some letters from a chart. This may have seemed like a game at the time but eye tests are really important.
Can you imagine having to get dressed with your eyes closed? What about complicated tasks like tying your shoe lace or dangerous things like cutting vegetables without being able to see what you were doing?
It sounds really difficult but some people face this problem every day. About 2,000,000 people in the UK are blind or partially sighted which makes it a big problem. Some people are born with eye problems so it is important to have regular eye tests as a child but as we get older our vision starts to get worse. This means the number of people who have problems seeing is going to get bigger.
Not everyone who has eye problems is completely blind; there are many different problems people have. Needing glasses is very common, so is being colour blind, for instance 7% of men have difficulty telling the difference between red and green.
An optometrist – doing our eye tests. If we have difficulty seeing they can give us glasses to help.
A scientist – looking at why our eyes develop problems in the first place. What they find helps us look for a cure.
An occupational therapist – working with patients to help them live a normal life despite their disability. They teach people how to use gadgets when they have problems seeing or how to use braille to read.
A guide dog trainer – training the dogs that can be given to people with eye problems to help them find their way around safely.
An orthoptist – treating eye problems. They use medicines or surgery to try to improve the vision of their patients. | 2019-04-23T22:41:12 | http://www.futuremorph.org/my-future-finder/beyond-medicine/seeing-what-your-future-holds/ |

KINGWOOD — Preston Circuit Court's new circuit judge said he hopes to continue the trend of outstanding judges in Preston County with his seat on the bench.
Steven L. Shaffer was sworn in May 18 and will begin work May 29.
"I take it as an extreme honor and a privilege to serve the people of Preston County as their circuit judge," Shaffer said.
Shaffer said he hopes to follow in the footsteps of the former judges who previously held his position, including Judge Lawrance Miller and former Judge Neil Reed.
Shaffer, 63, looks forward to starting work as a judge following vastly different careers in his life.
"I was a coal miner for 23 years until I was injured in the coal mines in 1997," Shaffer said. "I couldn't return to the coal mines after my injury, so I put myself through college and law school and graduated law school in 2003 at the age of 49."
Shaffer said he's been told before that he should write a book about his life.
"I wanted to be a judge because Preston County has always had good judges and I wanted to see that continue," he said.
Shaffer is taking over for Miller, who retired last year but has stayed on as a senior status judge. Shaffer said the plan is to run for judge again after this term ends Dec. 31, 2024.
Shaffer and his wife, Beverly, have been married for 43 years. They have two children. He has lived his entire life in West Virginia and has lived in Preston County all but the first eight months of his life.
Shaffer graduated from West Virginia University College of Law. He then worked for then-Preston County prosecutor Ron Brown before he entering private practice. | 2019-04-19T18:44:47 | https://wvrecord.com/stories/511426225-new-circuit-judge-hopes-to-make-preston-county-proud |

Gutters work very well as long as they are well cleaned and maintained. Cleaning and maintaining your gutters doesn’t suggest disregarding them and expecting the very best. It likewise doesn’t suggest putting up gutter guards and assuming that your gutters are resistant to debris. Cleaning and maintaining your gutter systems means having them cleared, cleaned and maintained periodically. The very best approach to do this is by working with an experienced professional gutter cleaner.
Before you make the decision that this is an easy job that you can do yourself, remember that while it might be fairly uncomplicated, it is actually also, very physically challenging. Cleaning and maintaining rain gutters and downspouts require heavy lifting, climbing up a ladder repeatedly, and working at the top of a ladder. It needs sticking your fingers into some pretty gross, rotting debris.
If all of this sounds like something you’d like to stay clear of, then you aren’t alone. There’s a reason that there are many skilled professional gutters and downspouts cleaning companies out there. Rain gutter and downspout cleaning is not only just a dirty job that takes a lot of effort and time, but it’s additionally something that you can’t afford to forget.
When taking a look at various knowledgeable professional gutter cleaners ensure that you employ an actual knowledgeable professional gutter cleaning company. Working with a community handyman might look like it will spare you some hard earned cash, but it will generally wind up costing you more money in the long run. So, on top of working with a competent professional gutter cleaner, what else should you be trying to find? You should be looking for a business that charges fair rates, has all of the necessary licenses and insurance, and has a fantastic track record.
The expense of having your gutters and downspouts cleaned is going to be specifically proportional to the length of rain gutters and downspouts that you have and the number of stories you have on your home. The price will also likely vary depending upon what area you live in, and the experience level of the company you hire. With that being said, you ought to typically expect to pay 50 cents to $2 dollars per ft. of rain gutters.
Don’t be surprised if you need to pay a little more for a multi-story house. This is standard since having to perform a job at a higher elevation is not only more difficult, it’s also more perilous. You should not be stunned if you are quoted a greater estimate for having a lawn where there are a great deal of trees, and other obstacles. That will also make a rain gutters cleaning job harder. If the competent professional company cleaning your gutters is going to be working harder, then they have every right to be fairly compensated for this additional work.
Now, there might be situations where you are estimated a greater price than $2.00 feet, and if you are working with a trusted company then this is most likely justified. Why could your costs be greater than you expect? The most typical reason for a greater expense is when gutter cleaners experience inadequately maintained gutters that haven’t been cleared, and cleaned in a long time. When debris is permitted to build up for a very long time it becomes far more challenging to remove. This might mean that your rain gutters and downspouts will require to be manually scraped, and it will additionally generally require more time spent using a pressure washer to clean them.
If your gutters and downspouts have been ignored for a long period of time, they might likewise have actually been harmed. Now, if you are working with a knowledgeable professional gutter cleaner, you might set up ahead of time for them to take whatever steps are necessary to fix any damage they experience. In a lot of cases, an experienced professional gutter cleaner will be able to make repairs on the areas of contention and fix any problem encountered, These repair services really should not be that pricey. In case more substantial repair work are needed, they will typically notify you so that you can prepare to have them taken care of.
Another common explanation for a larger gutters and downspouts cleaning expense is rain gutter guards. Gutter guards might help to keep debris from getting into your gutters and downspouts, however they also have some unfavorable elements as well. For starters, they have to be uninstalled if you would like to have your gutters cleaned. That requires the experienced professional gutter cleaner you hire will have to uninstall the rain gutter guards then afterwards re-install them. It shouldn’t be surprising that this causes your expense to increase.
Another issue with gutter guards is that they give American home-owners a false complacency. Numerous homeowners install rain gutter guards, then presume that their rain gutters are in good condition. The problem here is that if things aren’t doing just great, you may not understand an issue up until it ends up being significant. So, the other way that gutter guards raise your gutter cleaning cost is when they cover-up an issue enabling it to get worse, which will then necessitate more extensive repair work.
When you understand how crucial it is to have your gutters cleaned by an experienced professional, and how little it in fact costs, you most likely recognize that hiring a competent professional gutters and downspouts cleaner is undoubtedly the way to go. If you still aren’t swayed, then take a second to think about just how much it’s going to cost you to replace rather than clean and fix your gutters. Make no mistake about it, if you do not have your rain gutters cleaned and inspected periodically then you should prepare for having to replace them in the near future. This can cost you anywhere from a thousand dollars to close to ten-thousand dollars ($10,000). That’s a considerable expense. Then, after paying this considerable bill you are going to be right back where you were and will need to employ a competent professional gutter cleaner to clean and maintain your new gutters. | 2019-04-24T14:24:38 | https://www.cleanproguttercleaning.com/gutter-cleaning-and-gutter-guard-installation-danville-va-24540/ |

My cat mæw, "cat" in Thai, who gets pronounced meow in English but answers to both! He relocated from Phuket with us when we moved back 4 years ago.
We rescued him as a tiny kitten from the streets and he lived with us there for 3 years so of course I had to relocate him when we returned to the UK.
This photo shows him in one of his favourite places and usually sleeping! | 2019-04-20T02:22:32 | https://www.pettrac.co.uk/pet-owners/pet-picture-gallery/meow |
About 11 miles from the entrance to Florida Caverns State Park, along County Rd 162, this is about a one mile round-trip hike leads out to the historic Bellamy Bridge. This was replaced a few wooden bridges that were built as far back as 1851. The metal bridge that is there now was in use from 1914 through 1963 when it was replaced with the cement bridge that crosses the Chipola River on CR 162. Today, this is the oldest (and most haunted) bridge of this type in the state of Florida.
Entering the woods from the trailhead the path is wide and clear, so it is easy to navigate and is clear of poison ivy. There are several (I think I counted three) benches along the way. The trail itself is hard packed dirt and easy to walk. There is one spot that might get a little soft during the rainy season, but it has been a dry summer, so we didn’t even get our shoes muddy on this hike.
Where the trail crosses an area that appears to be a dried up creek, the remains of an old footbridge can be seen but a newer boardwalk spans the area spot a little to the right.
From here it is just a hundred yards or so to the bridge. As we approached, we also noted that there was an information kiosk at the bridge.
The bridge itself is pretty neat; it has a fence in front of it in case visitors don’t notice that there is no deck to walk on. I’m sure there are those who might be brave/foolish enough to try to cross it anyway… if they do, I hope they first notice all of the cypress knees below that would make for a very uncomfortable landing.
The view of the river is also nice here. Just on the other side of the river is a tangle of cypress knees and roots that looks like a monster laying in wait. And the view upstream reflects the blue sky off the water.
For what was once a small piece of road and a short bridge, this site has a lot of history (including a few ghost stories). If you would like to learn more, there is a website (BellamyBridge.org) with a lot more information. If you would like to see where these photos were taken, see the technical details, or simply download a .gpx file of this hike, click on the “Trip details” link at the bottom of the map below the photos. | 2019-04-25T00:55:01 | http://www.seizingthedream.com/2015/09/hiking-bellamy-bridge-heritage-trail.html |

In preparation for the Comscentre website re-design I put together a Heuristic evaluation document to start comparing all the main competing businesses ( their online presence ). The 10 Heuristics were developed by Jakob Nielson and simply put are a set of usability “rules of thumb” or best practices for user interface design.
The goal of the evaluation was to review and compare against five competitors, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and finally document how we can best leverage this knowledge to enhance the Comscentre website.
I went through the entire site to establish the existing sitemap structure and create a diagram. This is done clearly see what the hierarchy looks like. this will support Experience maps and user flows to convey the different journeys that users go through, when visiting the site.
as the accompanying slide conveys, each competitor is marked out of 10 for each Heuristic with a final score given out of 100. Once complete, i note down all the good and bad points regarding my experience – not as a specific customer but purely from a usability point view.
Using Google Analytics I was able to convey a clear diagram of the current user behavior flow – from starting page to drop off. This data aligns with the summary data to help understand what customers are experiencing before they decide to leave, valuable information to show stakeholders. | 2019-04-18T12:27:19 | http://affran.com/coms-heuristics/ |

I have moved from Girl's Hockey back to U15 Bantam AA boy's. They start with a body checking clinic in a few weeks and then try-outs. Calgary is a city of 1.2 million people and the players have to play in the organizations which have boundries. All of the hockey up until U13 Pee Wee is organized in these area, I live within the Trails West area and two of my kid's played for Trails West. They have multiple teams for each age group. I think they had 14 Pee Wee teams last year and the kid's are evaluated at the start and play in divisions where the evaluator decide they belong.
When they are done Pee Wee they can move on to what are considered elite organizations that have from U15 Bantam to U20 Jr. B teams. The city is divided into 4 Quadrants and the players must play within the boundaries of the organization. I am coaching with the Royals organization.
The Royals have 3 AA Bantam and one AAA team of U15 players. Because the U18 Midget level is 3 years they have one Minor Midget U16 team, two Midget AA teams and one AAA team which are U18. They have two U20 Jr. B teams. Players wanting to play Jr. A or Major Jr. U20 play in Provincial Jr. A leagues (they can play NCAA from these) or to Major Jr. where they are considered pro and can't play NCAA.
Parents and players really want to be drafted by the CHA major junior teams and they draft Bantam age players. It isn't that big of deal in my mind as the three most successful players I have worked with a lot were never drafted and did pretty well. i.e. Dany Heatley, Mason Raymond, Ryan Duncan (Hobey Baker now playing in Europe).
I am coaching a Bantam AA team and have a good coaching staff and look forward to the season. Jim, my son who has coached college women with me. Ron Gerlitz who played at the U of Calgary and pro in Germany and Alex McDermott who is from Nova Scotia where he played defense and wants to get into coaching. Gaston Schaeffer will be our skating coach and the Roays have a company that works with the goalies and another company who do the off ice training.
Some coaches like me to post my practice plans and comments and this is where they will be.
I am looking forward to the season.
Good penalty killing presentation by Keith McAdams. 30 minutes.
I have asked my coaches to watch these two clips of Detroit practicing team play. This is our model to work towards this season.
We are running a conditioning camp this week prior to the try-outs. Coaches take turns. Last night I did one with first year Bantams; 26 skaters and 4 goalies.
Tonight I am doing second year Bantams. I counted 23 skaters and 3 goalies. I will use the same practice plan with this older group.
The players seemed to like the practice last night and most of them came up to thank me after. Of course they want to make a good impression as none of them have played for the Royals before.
2. Skate on all of the edges and use big moves by reaching the opposite.
i.e. Skate left and reach as far as you can to the right.
4. Exercises are done while zig-zagging in and out.

Great Prakky Tom . The Finland drill is a good one . It is a little challenging for first year Bantam !! Good for them !!
Thanks SMAC. I like to try a chlenging one each practice. I did the same practice last night wit a second year group. 24 skaters and 4 goalies. Before this practice I got half of them to where white with half the D and half F in white and dark. It made the games easy for everyone the quick transition game was percect with 12 at each end. I only did 2 on 2 with the full ice transition game and had 8 F and 8 play D on each team. It takes a rotation or two for everyone to catch on that there are zero whistles but once they got the flow it was great.
I made sure we did a walk thru with 2 d and 2 f for the Finnish drill and it went well. Any time u show really new things the first time they do them is to learn the flow, then u can focus on teaching points. The drills and games kept them moving and gave me a good idea who cam play and think at the same time.
I have the younger group again on Friday and will try to have 4 nets the first 45 min or so.
I was looking through some pictures and put some together about various hockey teams and experiences with them and family.
What got me thinking was when I came back from playing hockey in the USA I got a call to coach a Bantam A (they called it then) team. The coach quit because he said they were no good. I agreed to coach. That was about 1973 and I have gone full circle and am coaching basically the same level for the same organization this year. There is a picture of that first team in the pdf. plus a lot of other teams and places.
I was asked to write an article for the Royals magazine both in print and online. I refer to a previous posting 'What is Hockey.' for most of the article.
I am excited to coach the Bantam AA Blue team this season.
I was asked to write an article for the Royals Magazine and think the topic ‘What Is Hockey’ is relevant to consider as we start a new season. If the coaches and players are going to put their time and effort into becoming ‘elite’, it is important that we know what skills we need to constantly improve.
I play hockey a few times a week with Rich Preston who was a very good NHL player and was assistant coach with the Daryl Sutter and Mike Keenan in Chicago, San Jose Calgary and Major Jr. Head coach in Regina and Lethbridge. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=4380 I met for coffee with Rich at Tim Hortons and brought my coaching board with me and listened as he showed me his thoughts on how the game should be played.
Rich stressed that it is critical that a player has to learn to play with speed in all aspects of the game. He must be a great skater, have solid habits where he is always ready for the next play and skates so he can see the ice at all times. Players need to have seamless skills which means that you puck handle, pass and shoot while skating without having to glide between each skill. The game is played with team mates vs. opponents and you have to know where you and everyone else is on the ice. So individual skills have to be appropriate to the situation.
As an introduction I have posted one minute of Detroit vs. Pittsburg video that shows the constant transitions in a hockey game. All of the skating, offensive and defensive skills and good habits are needed to be effective.
Detroit vs. Pittsburgh - a demonstration of the transition between the 3 game situations, and 4 game playing roles in one minute of an NHL game.
Yellow – battling for a loose puck.
It is a great example of what really happens in a hockey game and why it is a game of transition. The video link is below.
Here are some hockey facts.
- The average for someone to carry the puck is about 2.5".
- The average for the team to have the puck is about 4.5".
- Each team has possession and loses possession of the puck about 180-200 times during a game.
always in one of these roles. There is never a time when a player has nothing to do.
Role One: player has the puck.
Role Two: players supports the puck carrier.
Role Three: player checks the puck carrier with either a pressure or contain decision.
Role Four: player gives either close or farther support to the first checker.
un-organized defense as compared to an organized defense.
Good technique - at game speed are the tools you need.
So if you want to become an elite player the understanding that hockey is a game of constant transition will help you reach those goals.
I am going to a Hockey Alberta Coach Seminar in a few hours and will leave Friday afternoon to get back for this practice. We have 4 goalies and 26 skaters so I am going to use 4 nets the first hour.
Notes: Use 4 nets the first hour.
26 skaters and 4 goalies.
Key Points: Shoot at the nets on the same side.
Shoot at the nets on the same side.
1. F1 attack D1 at each end.
1. Players line up within a stick length of the red line if you have 2 groups or only ½ ice; otherwise behind the red or far blue line.
2. Three players attack three defenders.
3. Defenders must carry the puck out of the zone before passing to team waiting team mates.
4. Three new players attack vs the original offensive players.
5. Keep score, implement skill (only forehand passes) or team play rules (goals originate from below the goal line).
This is a scoring contest that seems to be loved by players of all ages everywhere in the hockey world.
Make quick shots and one timers and goalie read the play.
1. Players line up on both side in the slot with one shooter at the top.
2. Play games to 5 between the goalie and shooter.
3. If the goalie freezes the puck or it hits the boards behind or at the side the goalie gets a point.
4. Players get a point by scoring a goal on a shot or rebound. Only one pass is allowed.
5. Shooter stays if he scores and players rotate if there is no goal.
Play a full ice game with the extra players on the bench. Change on the whistle or on their own.
Pass back to the goalie when changing on the whistle.
1. Play from 1-1 to 6-5.
2. Change of the whistle or players change on the go.
4. If no face-offs then scoring team touch the red line before checking.
The purpose is to attack as quickly as possible and pass and shoot while skating.

4. Defender 2 start from below the circle and back check.
5. Attacker 1 and 2 race down the ice to score and only ONE PASS is allowed.
The seminar was worthwhile. I am not sure if my association will pay my travel expenses so I stayed in a dorm room for $50 with one thin blanket on the bed. It was ok.
There was a hot stove lounge with all of the presenters answering questions on Thursday night followed by a social. Bill Peters, the new head coach of Carolina was there. Domenic Pittis, the Flames skill coach, other coaches, a sports psychologist, goalie coach. (I will have to check the spelling of the other presenters names) On Friday morning we rotated through four one hour presentations and they threw out a lot of good ideas. Corey McNabb from Hockey Canada showed the new skill video resources that they have put on their website and they are very good.
I drove back to Calgary and ran the practice that I posted before. The four nets kept everyone moving the first hour and I finished with a 20' 4 on 4 scrimmage with 45" shifts and then did a speed scoring shootout.
Today there are 4 try out games that I leave for in 30 minutes. The draft is Friday.
There isn't any time to do anything but the tryouts today. I was at the rink 9 am to 7:30 pm Saturday and it will be the same today with a little longer lunch break. We are identifying 40 out of the 70 13 year olds who will move on to the next phase which is scrimmaging with the 14 year olds. That will happen M to Th evening with one game each per night and then there is a draft of Friday night after the scrimmage.
Just remembered I also run a conditioning camp practice right after the last tryout game.
Thanks Iceman. It is a grind picking th 4 teams.
Long day at the rink. 12 hours.
This mornings paper has an article about Aaron Hyman. He has done the Jasper camp for about ten years. Aaron is making a great impression at the Calgary Hitman Major Jr. camp. He is 6'5" and they talk about what a great skater he is. Good job Gaston.
The 90 minute conditioning practice was with U18 players. I did two passing drills, one 1-1, 2-1 drill and we played various games the rest of practice. There were 25 skaters and 4 goalies so we used 4 nets until the last 20 minutes when we did a full ice 4-4 with 45 second shifts. For the SAG's the players were in 3 groups of 6 and one of 7 and the games were 2 on 2. We did some 3-3 in the cross ice games where half the players were at each end.
We went from 70 13 year olds to 40 and starting tonight they will scrimmage with the second year Bantams and the draft is Friday. So every evening until 11 at the rink this week.
Conditioning camp, Game situations, fitness. I will use one zone, cross ice and full ice games to keep them moving. With 4 Goalies I will use 4 nets starting with 2 on each goal line the drills and one zone games then move them across from each other and then remove 2 nets and time 45 second shifts on the main clock.
Key Points: = Shoot at the nets on the same side.
The resting players attack right away when they get a pass and the original attackers must communicate and cover one attacker each.
1. Offensive team attacks 3 on 3. It can be 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2 or 2-3 also if the coach wants to practice these situations. Upt to 5-5 is possible.
2. On transition to offense the defenders pass to their teammates waiting behind the blue line.
4. Original attackers now defend and communicate with each other on how to stop the attack. 5. After a goal the defenders is allowed to pass to the new attackers.
This game allows the coach to focus on the attack or defending deep in the zone. You can play this game in situations from 1-1 to 5-5. It is a great rotation to practice specialty teams if you have 3 lines because it gives the players some rest and they alternate between pp and pk (one F would leave the zone) The defenders have to clear the zone with control of the puck. With situations over a 3 on 3 I would move the resting players back to the far blue line.
Switch between all four game roles.
4-cover away from the puck.
Situations: offense, defense, loose puck.
1. Start with the players line up along the boards in the neurtal zone.
2. Play situations from 1-1 to 4-4, including uneven situations like 2 on 3.
3. Play for 30" and pass to teammate on the whistle.
4. On a goal defenders must touch the red line.
I am pretty sure the players had never had this type of practice before. There were some very skilled guys there and most of them came up and thanked Jim and I after.
Nice meeting you in Red Deer . Wish we had more time to chat .
It was great meeting you Steve. Too bad we weren't in the same breakout group. I had to leave at 1 to get back for practice.
This is a PDF with the individual skill drills,partner skill drills and team play drills vs. zero opponents that I will choose from this season.
They are the best of what I have stolen from other coaches and about ninety percent have video demo's. You can also add the Swedish Skill material that is posted on this forum.
I am in Ardrossan a town close to Edmonton playing in the +55 Canadian Championships. We qualified by finishing second in the Alberta games two seasons ago. We split the two games yesterday and have two more today. Final is tomorrow.
I have to go back to the Bantam evaluations right after our game where the top 40 of the 115 trying out are playing and then we have a draft to select the one AAA and three AA teams. Finally we will have a team that starts practice next week. I was evaluation for 30 hours between Sat. and Wed. and the first years played two games a night the week before. So a long time in the rink.
We had the draft and each team has 26 players. The AAA team has 31 and must drop down to 19. The three AA teams will draft the 12 players that got cut and add 4 to their roster, so we will have 30 and have to get down to 19.
We are getting nasty emails from parents of boy's who didn't make the try-out roster. A lot of good players have already been cut and all of the players that are left are pretty good. I don't think there is anyone that you would say is a terrible player. Just some are better than others, or work harder, etc.. Even if they all are great we can only keep 19 per team and we are all doing our best to pick the ones who deserve to make it.
The ones who don't make it can go back to the community association hockey which is very good in the first few divisions.
Last year 12 000 players participated in Calgary Minor Hockey Week. So there are a lot of good players around. I am coaching what is called Quadrant hockey. The city of 1.2 million people is divided into 4 quadrants so our pool is about 400 000 people with about 15 arenas. About five large hockey associations with 25-50 teams from U6 to U20 each feed into our organization which has Bantam U15, Midget U18 and Jr. B U20 teams. Most of the kid's aspire to play quadrant hockey and it starts at Bantam U15.
Everywhere organizes their programs differently and this is how we do it in Calgary.
We are still in the try-out phase and have 26 players. 3 goalies, 7 D and 16 F. We will get 4 more players when they are dropped by the AAA team. They will drop 12 and the three AA teams have a draft.
Today's practice has skill warm-up, some situation drills a transition game and a full ice game. I will run the full ice game and allow my assistants to evaluate and rank the players. It is our first session with this group. We practice Friday, play Sat. and practice again on Sunday which is the day we will draft the players coming down from AAA. So I need to drop at least 4 players by then. The feeder organizations are asking when the players will come back as they are also going thru evaluations.
We have seen the first years play about 10 scrimmages and the second years 4 times; so we have a pretty good idea where they rank from those sessions. Now we have to see where they stand on our team. All of the players are good enough to play in the league so we are looking for the ones that have an impact when they are on the ice, work hard, have a positive attitude and are coachable. We have done our homework by asking people about attitude and work ethic and that influenced who we took in the draft. We avoided a few players because of that.
We have about 4 small very skilled players and a lot of bigger players who work hard. We have to see if the small ones can compete and who are the most effective players in the games. We have practice next M-W and play 3 games in a tournament the next weekend. We have be down to 19 players by Sept. 11.
3 goalies, 7 D, 16 F Evaluation practice with 23 skaters.

- Talk with them - see how they are personally.
- See how they treat other teammates, coaches.
- When it comes down to it, if a player maybe a little "slower" - speed wise, do you take the player with more or better hockey sense or the quicker/faster player.
Iceman, I just read that blog. I coached college for 17 years, 9 as a head coach and when you recruit you have the opportunity to look for the characteristics the various coaches talk about. Character was the most important factor I focused on because I was watching good players already. Early in my coaching career I didn't pay attention to character and ended up with lots of very selfish players with zero team concept. I remember talking with Willy Desjardins quite a few years ago and his team in Medicine Hat had the poorest season since he got there. I asked him why he thought they didn't do well and right away he said 'It was my fault, I picked Talent over Character'. His record shows that he didn't do that again.
Picking this team is very different than recruiting. They pay the money and then about 150 showed up to to try out. I did as much digging around as I could. I got info from one of my former asst. coaches whose son played last year. My son helps with a skills group that a lot of these kid's train with, so he knows quite a few of them. In the spring camp I saw how one player refused to take his earphones off when the coach was talking and that made him an automatic scratch. So I get as much info as I can and then watch them play.
The first years played a lot of games and we cut that group from 70 to 40. They joined the second years and were in 6 teams and played 4 games and then the draft. We looked for players who could skate and were first on the puck and ranked them according to skill. I have Alex my defenseman coach watching the D and Jim, my forward coach watching the F to see who is most effective in the game situations. Last night we had a lot of 1-1's and 2-1's so Alex could observe the D because he just got back from vacation. He ranked the 7 D the same as Jim. They both watched from the stands and I stayed on to run the scrimmage. It was 15' of 3 on 3 and 5' of 4-4. I had them both rank the players after. We have another practice on Friday and I will have a 30 minute scrimmage. We get 4 players from the AAA team on Sunday. They realease 12 and we get the 1-6-7 picks.
So we only drafted players who compete. Now we are trying to identify the ones who make something happen when they are on the ice. We have a game on Saturday and I have to decide whether I dress the top ranked players to see how they are vs. other AA players or the bottom ranked ones to decide who gets cut.
I just talked with Jim and he needs to see the bottom ranked F's in a real game to see who can play. So we will do that.

6. F4-F5-F6 dump in far end and D3-D4 skate back and breakout then repeat flow.
Post practice comment. I gave a little extra time for each drill because I didn't know if the players would catch on to them. They had no problem and did a great job and I didn't have to waste time explaining things again. This added ten minutes that we did a change on the go shootout. I posted a link below. I am sitting the top ranked players and giving the players on the bubble a game before doing our cuts Sunday. I get 4 cuts from the AAA team and that will give me 30 players and we can carry 19.
Played first ex game today and won 7-6. Wasn't pretty but a lot of players showed well. Former NHL player coach Rich Preston talked to the boys between periods and they went out and scored three quick ones. I sat out 7 players who were ranked as our top ones. I have to cut ten or eleven of the ones who played today. We have decided to drop four tomorrow and we get four from the AAA team in a draft tomorrow night.
these exercises is to increase the size of the reach with the stickhandling moves, and to separate the upper and lower body.
3. B pivots facing the puck and continues the other direction passing to C.
can’t go in and score.
6. Play 20-30” and on the whistle the players pass to the coach and skate hard out of the zone before the coach shoots a new puck in.
over a 3 on 3 I would move the resting players back to the far blue line.
Forwards cover D and D cover F's. One D should join the attack to create triangles. Defenders play tight gaps and attackers create 2 on 1's on the rush.
3. When the puck enters the zone defensive F1 and F2 support D and attacking team D1 and D2 support F's.
4. Play 4 on 4 in the zone.
Cut two F and one D tonight. Then a draft of the 12 players the AAA team cut. We chose 1-6-7-12 and got three of our four top ranked players. Two F, one D and one G. Now we know the make-up of our team. We have a practice Monday, Wed and a tournament F-Sat-Sun. We have to get down to 19 players by Thursday.
Release 4 skaters and 1 goalie after practice.
6. F4-F5-F6 dump the puck into the far end and D3-D4 skate back for the puck and breakout.
7. F4-F5-F6 regroup with D5-D6 in the neutral zone and attack 3-2 vs. D3-D4.
• Instead of the first regroup D3 or D4 could dump the puck in the other corner and D1-D2 break out again before the regroup and 3-2.
Players are divided into two teams of Green vs. Various Colours.
Play a full ice game with the extra players on the bench. Change on their own.
Face-offs and review Dzone FO alignment.
We identified the team we want but weren't able to make any cuts because of a technicality so we will have to release 6 skaters and 2 G after the Wednesday practice. The other teams get 2 ex games and we only got one. So that makes it harder even though we have done lots of game situations they are never the same as a game vs. opponents with enough rest between shifts and a score clock, fans, etc..
The plan for our one hour ice time tonight was to warm-up, have a 45 minute scrimmage and then make our final 8 releases BUT we had a big SNOW storm. The wet snow has destroyed the tree that I sit under all summer and the arena had no power so practice has been postponed ti tomorrow. It is the deadline to get down to 19 players. (The most unmanageable number possible for hockey).
It seems like we aren't meant to cut anyone.
We are in a tournament playing one game each day F-S-Sun and have a league ex game Sat. Then we practice Monday and another league ex game on Tues. So five games in five days. We haven't practiced as a team yet and have done no on ice team play.
We also have a parent meeting Sunday when we get back.
I will have to get out my magnetic board to go over things and they will have to learn as we go. I think one concept at a time. i.e. Foreheck game one, dzone 2, pk 3, pp 4. Review 5.
Yikes!! now some parents didn't get the email that practice is cancelled today. Not happy campers but I don't think they want to complain too much given the team still hasn't been finalized. Not good.
Tough day at the Arena. We scrimmaged another AA team for an hour and then I had to cut our team from 4 G to 2 G and 23 F to 17 F. Some very sad 13-14 year old boy's. Most of the ones released can play at this level.
Now the team is picked and we can start to develop a team culture and teach them the habits and skills they need to be successful and able to move on to the next level. We play 4 games the next 3 days. One tonight, two tomorrow and one on Sunday. We practice Monday and play again Tuesday. So five games in five days. After the tournament we get on our regular schedule of 3 practices and two games a week for the rest of the month.
When we finally start to practice as a team my focus is going to be on Individual Defensive Skills.
The posting Practice Drills and Games to Teach Angling http://www.hockeycoachingabcs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=6867&topic=6867#6867 has a lot of the activities we will do to work on these skills. You can't play defense until you can win a 1 on 1.
Won our first game 5-3 but lost one F (broken collarbone) and one D (concussion and neck injury) and they will both be out a few months. They got all their goals on the power play. We haven't done any team play yet. We play another game this morning and a third late this afternoon.and another tomorrow morning.
We chose players who compete hard and then ranked them on skill and the team did compete very hard.
I hope we don't get any more injuries.
The player with the broken collarbone is out 6-8 weeks and the player with the concussion had no structural damage but is very sore and will be treated for a concussion and the length of those varies.
Before the game I brought my 3 dimensional coaching board that has been used by so many famous coaches from around the world. We set it up on a table in the lobby and went over team play. We did the Tsunami forecheck, low press pk and dzone coverage.
I brought in two famous European coaches to show the Forecheck and Defensive zone coverage.
Famous Finnish Coach Mikko talks about defensive zone coverage. First 7 minutes using a white board and then he uses a 3 dimensionsional magnetic board.
Jaroslav a famous coach from the Czech Republic shows how you can forecheck aggressively using the concepts of Total Hockey. 1-2-3-4-5 read and react.
The other team didn't seem like it was AA calibre and we won 10-1. We played very well. We play another game at 5:30 and it will be our third one in 21 hours. Hope we still have some glycogen left in the muscles. The important thing is that they play well and continue to have good habits like facing the puck, taking 3 + hard stride to open ice when they get the puck, doing the middle drive. 4th man up on the rush, etc..
Game Three: This wasn't part of the tournament but was a league exhibition game and we played the team we beat 5-3 and injured two of our players. We just didn't have energy and lost 4-7. We had players covering their scorers but they played soft and lost 1 on 1's on the puck and covering away from the puck. We were very timid the first period and I think the players were afraid of getting hurt because neither injury was the result of a hockey play. I can't say that I blame them.
Game Four: Finished off with a 5-5 tie vs the home team, so we won the tournament wit a 2-0-1 record. We found out we can score but giive up way too many goals. Another ex game on Tuesday and we finally have our first two practices Wed. Th. We have no affiliate players yet, so we will have to have 2D play F again and run with 13 skaters.
We got another injury (deep charlie horse) and a player is gone on a school field trip all week, so we had 7 F and 6 D today so two D played F.
The boy who got hit from behind has some damage to his cv 4 and 5 and a concussion and will be out 6-8 weeks.
It is such a chicken sh-- play to cross check someone from behind into the boards.
Update on Injury: Injured player needs a walker to get around in the hospital and has trouble getting a drinking cup up to his mouth. Today they are allowing him to go home. We are waiting for a prognosis from the doctor.
The organization had a parent meeting to explain fees, fit for track suits and bomber jackets then introduce the coaching staff. We talked a little bit about our philosophy and I explained that our goal is to help them all become better players and winning will take care of itself.
All of these games have showed what we are good at and what we need to work on first which is individual defensive skills. We are not getting outnumbered on the scoring chances against but are losing 1 on 1's and not tying up sticks on rebounds or boxing out in front, etc. I have to get Gaston to work on a few players stride. They don't push sideways initially and that really makes for a short weak push. I have one player who is only 4'10" and 85 lbs. and he is one of the best skaters I have ever coached. We call him little Scott Niedermeyer. One of our forwards is 6' and 200 lbs. So this 13-14 year old age group has the biggest size difference you ever see and the hockey guru's of our country have decided that this is the time to start body checking.
Tuesday game: We had 6 D and 7 F. Dominated the first period and led 2-0. Kind of ran out of gas in the second and the game was tied. Went up 3-2 then they tied it and the game ended 3-3. Two D played F and struggled there.
I tried to do the last few paragraphs on my I phone but make way to many mistakes in spelling.
This is one of the most important exercises a player can do to develop puck handling skills.
We will do this drill next practice as Wally Kozak came on the ice with us and did some drills that show controlled skating while angling that were a nice lead into the angling drills and games.
Mirror the attacker from behind. Keep the attacker on the outside, approach toward the inside shoulder with the stick on the puck, shoulder in front and body on body.
1. Line up in the neutral zone with a defender following an offensive player with the puck.
2. Offensive player make moves and dekes and then turn either way to attack.
3. Defender mirror the offensive player and turn staying on the inside.
4. Defender close the gap by approaching from about a half stick behind at the inside shoulder.
5. Defender keep the stick on the puck and body on body to angle the attacker and take the puck.
1 - Players line up just outside the blue line near the dots, puck are in each corner. 2 - F1 leaves and picks up a puck in the corner then skates up the wide lane. 3 - F2 follows from slightly behind and steers F1 along the boards. 4 - F2 approaches at the back shoulder with 'body on body and stick on the puck.' 5 - F2 angle checks F1 with the inside leg in front then picks up the loose puck. 6 - F2 skates into the slot and shoot - rebounds. 7 - F2 picks up a puck from the opposite corner and F3 becomes the checker.
Defender create an angle from inside to cut the ice in half, deflect the play wide, angle at the back of the inside shoulder with the stick on the puck and finish. Second checker mirror from a little behind.
1. Coach shoot the puck across the ice on the attacking teams half or dump it softly.
2. Red 1 race for the puck and attack the Blue net.
3. Blue 1 and 2 tag up at the blue line then arc slightly behind the puck carrier to cut the ice in half.
4. Blue 1 close the gap approaching toward the back shoulder with body on body and stick on the puck.
5. Blue 1 rub out Red 1 and Blue 2 pick up the puck.
6. Blue 1 and 2 attack the other way while Red 1 back checks.
7. Repeat with Blue 3 on offense vs. Red 1-2.
* This can also be done as a 1-1 drill to teach the concepts of angling - deflect-steer-angle-finish - body on body stick on puck.
We redesigned the practice because the goalie coach had a cancellation and showed up for ours, so I had to make some changes to free up one end for him.
Wally Kozak, who is our team mentor came on the ice with me. I have known Wally for 40 years; played against him, helped him coach etc. He was Dave King's asst. with the Men's National Team. He worked with me the practice before on angling techniques from the skating to the stick on the puck and angling drills. This practice he did a Dave King defensive zone play drill that was excellent as well as helped with the rest of practice.
Tying up sticks in the slot. Cover one player Each. Maintain the defensive side. Hinging. Angling. Stick on stick.
Wally Kozak runs Dzone play section Goalie coach work with one tenders at the other.
Each player name 4 who they think would be Good captains.
1. All play at the same time.
2. Use two pucks and throw another on the ice when one is scored. Leave the pucks in the net. Count pucks when all three are scored.
3. When the goalie freezes the puck the attackers back up behind the hash marks.
4. Only one shot at a time. If the goalie isn’t watching then a goal doesn’t count.
Protect the puck with the body on offense. Cut back turning toward the boards. Defender stay lined up with the back of the inside shoulder and stick on the puck.
1. Leave on the whistle and practice cut backs, tight turns. Go to the net on the second whistle while the next players leave.
2. Two players leave and the second player stays on the D side with the stick on the puck and gives passive resistance.
3. This is a battle and the defender tries to get the puck. On the second whistle whoever has the puck go to the net.
*Without goalies both sides can go at once and with a goalie alternate sides. Players switch sides after doing both offense and defense.
Defensive player must quickly close the gamp and maintain defensive side and with stick on the puck, body on body.
1. Defender or defenders start on two knees in front of the net.
2. Attacker stands waiting for a pass from the coach. If multiple attackers then spread out.
3. Coach passes to the attacker and defender stands and defends.
4. Add another attacker and defender.
6. Add a third attacker.
7. If the puck is cleared, frozen or a goal the coach quickly passes another puck to an attacker and the play re-starts.
*Option is to have uneven situations and add attackers and defenders as you go.
*To create more space the coach and waiting players move back to the blue line. You can go up to 5-5 with this drill.
2. The next player in line plays the joker at the point and must pass or shoot within a second.
Defenders do not check the joker as he can’t go in and score.
the puck can shoot right away.
*We added the rule to this and the next game that if anyone turned their back on the puck or lost D side all had to do 1 push up and the offender 5. The offending player had to do these without being told.
Pick captains before practice each player gives me 4 names of good candidates. I agreed with their choices and we named captains before going on the ice.
Yikes!! Won 6-5 vs. my two former asst. coaches. We took zero penalties because we had the stick on the puck and hands down. Gave up 5 goals because of throwing the puck away blindly in our end and everyone watching the puck and not getting a man. We didn't lose 1 on 1 battles but were just sloppy in our zone. Last man carrying the puck a few times trying to beat two guys and winger making blind passes into the middle of the ice on breakouts.
Haven't worked on breakouts yet so can't expect better but the game really showed our offensive ability and defensive warts.
Ended the pre-season with a 3-1-2 record.
This is the last practice before we open the season. It is the first time we have done either power play or penalty killing on ice. Only 60 minutes so we have to be efficient.
Give a target, face the puck, follow the shot for a rebound before getting a new puck, pass hard.
Players line up along the boards and the middle with two lines facing each way.
1. #1’s Start with a shot from the far wing.
2. Get a new puck from the corner and pass to 2 in the middle.
3. #2 make a quick up to 3 in the wide lane.
4. #3 shoot, follow the shot, get a new puck in the corner and pass to 4.
*Continue this flow and players rotate shooter to boards and then to the middle. Do this from both sides.
7’ Rule must be enforced by coaches.
To transition from defense to offense all the players must come out over the blue line and stay on side when they turn back to attack.
The coach can designate modified rules for the game to work on either individual or team play skills.
1. One team attacks with the puck and tries to score.
2. The defending team must breakout over the blueline and then turn back and attack.
*Individual skills can be worked on. i.e.
- Always face the puck give a target, give and go.
5’ D at one end with Alex F with Jim at other end for 10 minutes.
Key Points: Principles for the Wheel, Go and Counter, with Terry Johnson a former NHL Defenseman. The key is skating hard to force the checker to commit and then choosing the option.
1. Coach shoot the puck in and the D skate to the puck and then at a 45 degree angle to force the checker to cross over.
2. Wheel behind the net, cut up near the far post and pass to the point for a shot on net.
3. Critical point is to make the checker do what you want them to. If you skate to where you are going to pass first then the checker can get a good angle and steal the puck.
4. Go by skating hard one way and then tight turn away from pressure. Pass to the point for a shot.
5. Counter when the checker doesn’t chase behind the net.
6. Coach shoots the puck in and the player drive skates behind the net and then tight turns to come back the original way.
7. Pass to the wing who skates out and passes across to the point for a shot on net.
The defender must drive skate when they get the puck and read whether the checker chases behind, goes in front etc. Skate at a 45 degree angle to the net to make the checker cross-over and decide to wheel, go(cut back) or counter.
1. Shoot the puck into the corner and the coach or player gives pressure.
2. Shoulder check and read inside pressure then skate at a 45 degree angle toward the net to make the checker cross-over.
3. Tight turn away from pressure and pass to a player on the boards who passes to another player at the point who shoots.
4. Counter by skating behind the net and out the same way if the checker doesn’t chase behind.
5. Read if the checker is taking away the middle or the boards and pass to the open player.
6. Use a backhand pass if you need to miss the defenders stick in the passing lane or to protect the puck from a checker.
7. Quick feet make everything possible. If everyone is covered then carry the puck up the middle.
6. Play a rebound or a new puck shot by the coach and work together to score within 12 seconds from the start.
Create intensity by only giving 12" for the offense to score. Attacking team uses the middle drive.
1. Start from the red line and attack 3 on 3.
2. Offensive team use the middle drive.
3. Attackers get 10 seconds to score.
4. Coach blow whistle if it takes too long.
5. On transition or whistle pass to the players at the blue line.
6. Team who was on offense now skate to the blue line and defend.
Centre must mirror the D from the middle skating parallel and give a target. Stay behind the D so he can skate into the puck. D must drive skate when they get the puck.
1. Coach pass to D1 who drive skates at a 45 degree angle to the net.
2. D1 pass across to D2 who hinges up ice.
3. D2 pass to the C.
4. Forwards attack 3-0 at the far end.
5. Add D1 to D2 back to D1.
6. Add coach cover one of the D so they either go D to D or tight turn and up to the wing.
15’ Each group work on pp and pk for 5’.
Practice options where every player gets a shot. Begin with a rotation attacking the seam between the D and the F and read what they give. If the D forces then the low play is available, if the F forces then the point is open. If the pk box is passive then there is a 2-1 at each corner, a 3-2 on each side and seams between players to attack. Force the pace by taking a shot by a different player every 3 seconds. Coach in each zone.
- Line A at one end practice attack options.
- Line B at other end practice attack options. Both walk through pp 5-0.
- Line C in middle passing practice.
- On whistle line A dump the puck to the other end and breakout returning to the original end while group C replace group B at the far end and group B pass in the neutral zone.
- Group 1 will practice the pp with Jim while group 2 is active on the pk and group 3 are the Jokers on the pp.
10’ Use red and green pinnies and 5 whites together to make 3 units of 5.
Rotation is Attack-Defend-Rest. Number the players so they know when to not defend. In even numbered situations you can require the defenders to breakout into the neutral zone before passing.
1. Power play attack vs 2 Fand 2 D.
2. Defenders ice the puck and rest.
3. Group waithing at far blue attack.
4. Original attackers now defend 1 short.
6. Create any situation by changing the number of attackers or defenders.
7. Even strength can also be practiced.
*Option is to have waiting players breakout from behind the goal line and do a pk forecheck.
1. Fake the slapshot with a convicing fake and finish with the stick hitting the ice.
2. Fake the slapshot and accelarate around the defender on the forehand.
5. Use only the backhand.
9’ Forwards at one end go only one direction.
9’ Defense at one end.
2. D1 leave from diagonal corners.
On transition all the players must go from offense to defense and defense to offense.
Sequence: Forwards - give passive support - attack - backcheck - defend - make breakout - rest.
Defense - give passive support - defend - join attack - forecheck-rest.
In the diagram the F are circles and D are triangles. Positions are labelled.
1. Blue F1 and F2 attack vs Red D1.
3. On transition, after a goal or frozen puck red D1 pass up to red F1 or F2.
4. Red F1 and F2 attack vs Blue D1.
5. Original attackers blue F1 and F2 backcheck and original defeder red D1 join the attack.
8. Red D2 and blue F3 and F4 support from above the circles ready to go the other way. Continue this rotation.
*This game can be played full, cross, half ice.
The main goal of this shootout is for the goalies to battle and never give up on shots. It is more realistic if only one pass per shot is allowed but if the goal is for the goalie to battle put no restrictions on the shooters.
1. Half the team in each box and as many pucks on the blue line as the number of the largest team.
2. Two players leave from the box, get a puck from the blue line and shoot until they score.
3. After scoring race back and touch the player box gate so the next two can leave.
4. First team to score all the pucks wins.
5. Losers do a chore or exercise.
Most of the practice went well but I wasn't pleased with the Point Shot Drill. We need to have the next pair ready to shoot right away and the pair that just finished rotate. We have 6 D now so 2 groups of 3 would have been much more active with more shots. First time I have done it.
The transition game was a disaster. These players haven't done full ice transition games and I should have started with a simple continuous 1-1, 2-1 instead of having the D join and F backcheck. They need to learn the flow and then adding more players is easy. I started at step 3 instead of step 1. We played the 2" game 3 on 3 but had to with only 14 skaters. One was sick. It is a real challenge for them right now as they are not used to doing things right away like moving to open ice, getting their head up, getting open, give and going. We will do this game in different forms all season.
Fitness testing tonight, a practice Friday, game Saturday, practice Sunday, Monday and game Tuesday. We lost the first game 2-1 even though we tied it with 12" left. The ref blew his whistle for some unknown reason as we were shooting the puck into the empty net. He apologized after but the goal didn't count. We played very well.
Team was tested for fitness and was all over the place on the beep test. Excellent to poor.
Players must challenge themselves out of their comfort zone. Make as many moves as possible and continue until they have shot and looked for a rebound. Take the pass and shoot right away without over handling the puck.
Stress taking the pass in the sweet spot, keep the puck ahead so you can see it (not behind your skates) and shoot while skating. Always follow the shot for a rebound.
Skate forward inside the dot before pivoting to. Shoot low for a tip in or rebound. One time the second shot in option two. Hit the net. Everyone practice this skill.
a. One pass to two and then screen goalie.
b. Two drag and shoot.
c. One go to point for a shot then opposite corner.
d. Three pass to four then screen goalie.
e. Four drag and shoot.
f. Two stay at the mid point and get a pass from four and shoot before rotating.
Each team has two jokers at the point. Introduce the game allowing jokers to check jokers and then add that jokers can come in for one timer shots.
Part One: Each team has jokers at the point.
4.Jokers can jump in for one timer shots.
5. Defending joker should cover the attacking joker when he jumps in.
This is a good routine to use at the start of practice instead of just skating around the ice aimlessly.
- Work for 5-10 min. and get in a lot of reps.
- D shoulder check on the way to the puck.
- Forwards funnel through middle lane and watch puck before swinging up the boards.
take turns getting the pass on the wing. Then do D to C.
C. Coach dumps the puck in and the D gets in and drive skates hard to the back of the net and up the ice between the dots. Pass D to C to D to W.
D. Coach dumps the puck in and the D gets it and drive skates to the back of the net to draw the forechecker then passes back off the boards to the other D who has called reverse from the front of the net. D2 passes to C to D2 to W and out.
New players don't leave the line-up until the puck enters the offensive zone. On dump outs no one change but go back and regroup with the same players. Changes occur when the puck is over the offensive blue line or controlled over the defensive blue line.
1. Attack 1-1 with D getting support from 1 F and F from one D.
2. Defending F1 cover the point.
3. New offensive D join and play point.
4. On transition attack 1-1 thru nzone.
5. Continue flow with new O and D support. -Continue the flow of 1-1 in nzone and 2-2 at each end.
-Dump-ins and regroups can be added.
10’ Goalies rotate at the other end.
outside body on body and stick on the puck.
stay in a tight 2-1-2 formation.
B. Closest defender pressure the puck right away while teammates form a box behind.
When the puck is passed away drop to a corner of the box or take the player to the net.
drops to the hash marks to cover the front of the net.
8’ Goalies alternate at far end.
- You can also decide the winner by saying the most goals in a certain time or the first team to 10 or another total wins.
This was the best practice we have had so far. Tempo was good and the players were engaged. They were working so hard in the full ice transition game that I let it go longer and we didn't do the shootout at the end. I let the coach work with my goalies a little longer and we didn't use a goalie for the team play drill at the end.
Instead of positions for the continuous 1-1 and 2-1 I had the whites vs. the darks and the next players left and had to play either forward or defense according to reading the game 1-2-3-4-5. We are teaching 'Total Hockey', so it was perfect for that. I am going to use this flow but vary the situations by sending out different numbers of players from each team. We did this with a different transition game when I was coaching with Willie Desjardins at the university. 1-2 or 3 players support the rush or the defense and they have to communicate. I am going to write it up for the Daily Drills section .
Scoring, escape moves, team breakouts.
Do various moves with the puck and finish with a shot.
Description: One group rotate clockwise and the other counter clockwise. 1. Do various skating moves with the puck. 2. Big moves all around the body, in the skates, through the legs etc.
Principles: Pass while skating and then follow the pass and take the ice behind the puck carrier.. Fill the 3 lanes. Skate to the “big ice” between the dots when you get the puck. Pass to the outside lane, skate to the inside lane.
B. 2 skate to the big ice, pass to 3, follow the pass taking the ice behind.
C. 3 pass back to one, follow the pass.
D. 1 regroup with 4 and 1-2-3 fill each lane.
E. 4 pass to 1 or 3 on the strong side.
F. 1-2-3 weave the same way and attack with a triangle and shoot at the oringinal end.
G. 4-5-6 follow and repeat the other way.
Alex take the Defense do the various breakout options and read where the pressure is coming from. Pass the puck back to the coach and move thru everyone. Forwards work on puck handling in the middle with Jim. Instead of a goalie coach Tom work on scoring skills.
B. Group in middle do stick handling.
C. third group do scoring.
– Keep track of wins.
7’ - Play 4-4 at two ends.
slide backward, sideways, tight turn etc.
Rules: You must make two passes before you can score and the puck must stay in the zone.
2” only with the puck.
Rule: Only one pass allowed in the offensive zone.
1. Players are in the box and one puck on each blue line for every player.
2. Player from each team leaves the box and tries to score.
3. If they score they race to the box and touch the boards and then the next player can leave.
4. If they don't score they pass to the next player who comes out of the box.
5. Losing team do something for every goal they lose by.
*To make it realistic the goalie should practice starting from the goal line and coming out.
Played the night before and won 3-0. 51 shots for and 29 shots against. Their chances came from sloppy blind passes or turn-overs on high rish/low reward situations. We work very hard and only got one coincedental penalty because our sticks are on the ice and on the puck for the most part. This creates great checking angles and lots of turn-overs. Their goalie played very well. Our goalie had to earn his shutout because of the turn-overs.
We did this practice this morning and it had good tempo and we accomplished a lot. Jim said that a lot of the players have a hard time stick handling around their body becaue the hands are too wide apart and gripping the middle of the stick too tightly. I focused on offensive zone team play and introduced more power play options that are also good for even strength. Alex said the breakouts were good except for players passing much too softly. Many players struggled with the weave and didn't get into the wide lanes.
So we have lots of work to do. 30 SA is too many and we should be scoring more with 51 SF. Enforcing the rule that they must do 3 push ups every time they miss the net in drills has been effective because we hit the net on almost every shot in the game.
Lotsa practices in a row with no game til Saturday so I want to really get the players better at puck handling and playing with good offensive habits. We are going to work in stations with the goalies at one end, Jim doing stickhandling and Alex and I a game with the stick upside down for D side practice. We then play 'games that teach the game.' the rest of practice. I have three more sessions this week before our Saturday game vs. a very skilled team.
360 degrees, puck support Keeping defensive side with stick upside Down.
B202 - 3 on 0 Neutral Zone Passes - Pro Key Point: Make one touch pass to each player. Face the puck and give a target.
1. Players line up behind the blue line in 3 lines.
2. On whistle leave and exchange one touch passes in the neutral zone to each player.
3. Attack 3-0 at the original end.
One end Goalie work Jim – in middle Puck handle.
JF with one goalie at a time.
Defend with Stick upside Down turn stick upright after the first shot.
6. F2 Attack vs. the original attacker F1. Practice various situations.
8’ Take 1’ to put pinnies on two teams.
This game causes a few things to happen. Transition from puck carrier to pass support, checking the puck carrier to covering away from the puck happen very quickly. The puck carrier must use pivoting, escape moves and puck protection skills to pass on the forehand and everyone must face the puck and give a target.
In this game the rule is that you can only pass on the forehand. If a player does a back hand pass the other team gets the puck.
D4 Two Pass Regroup with Jokers Below the Goal Line and Escape Moves Required before passing.
This transition game requires on ice awareness and constant switching between game playing roles as well as loose puck situations. Escape moves create time and space for the player. The puck carrier must slide backward, sideways, tight turn etc.
Rules: You must regroup with a Joker to go on offense. Before passing or shooting you must make an escape move. Jokers battle jokers but must stay behind the line. Two passes must be made before scoring.
Transition to offense requires the player must regroup with the player below the goal line.
Two second game with goals only on one timers.
This is a game that the Finnish U17 played last Christmas morning on the outdoor ice near my house. It requires close support, facing the play and quick thinking.

Canon announced this morning that its innovative dual-pixel auto-focus capability will be coming to the C300 in May. It’s exciting to see this an option – it will be a $500 service-center based upgrade, similar to the C100.
The above is clearly not a real wedding but a shoot set up for the video so keep that in mind. That said, dual pixel AF was first introduced in a dslr, the Canon 70D, and users have been very happy with it.
Note – 02/10/15: I’ve got a short film made with a dual-pixel AF upgraded C300 here, Snow Falling on Caesar.
Also of note in Canon’s press release is the announcement of a new remote control for the C series cameras and pro camcorders, the RC-V100. It is wired via a 15 foot cable and it offers full access to practically all of the functions of the cameras. It’s expensive ($3k list price) but it’ll be interesting to see how responsive it is, e.g. if one can pull-focus with it without the need for anything else (though the dials may be way to small?) I have not used the C300’s wireless controller but this will provide another option for controlling the camera should it be inaccessible, up on a jib, etc.
Canon’s RC-V100 Remote Controller for C series cameras. Due June, 2014.
While speaking C300 – I have been using the new firmware, for a couple of months now and it is a big improvement. The two features I use the most are the focus shift and the lens exchange function. The former allows you to place the focus point in different areas of the frame once you have hit the magnify button. The latter I assigned to button #5 and it provides some peace of mind when switching lenses, putting the camera in a temporary sleep mode.
Let sleeping dogs lie. Magnify engaged and the focus point shifted to the top of the frame. Note the reminder – lenses must be set to MF to enable focus shift.
The focus shift is very helpful when racking focus from one point to another. You can focus on point A, keep the screen or viewfinder in magnify mode, move the focus point to your point B, start filming and then shift your focus as needed.
Rounding out today’s C300 news, Zacuto recently announced a new Z-finder for the C300 and C500. Similar in concept to the Deity Mira, it also turns the camera’s screen into an EVF. Zacuto says its finder will be lighter, easier to mount, and they have built a system around it to adapt it to a shoulder rig.
Zacuto’s new C300/500 helmet and handle look promising. It has always irked me that the C300’s handle never locks down 100%. There is always a bit of play to it. I have looked at other cheese plate type caps for the C300 but none have a quick release handle. Zacuto’s does.

Update – 05/20/14: Dan Chung of Newsshooter.com has a review of the new C300/C500 Recoil system.

A joint study by doctors at AIIMS, Delhi, and Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) on dietary habits of women suggested that those who consume non-vegetarian meals are less prone to diseases such as diabetes, cardiac ailments, cancer and obesity as compared to those on a vegetarian diet.
The survey was conducted on women between the ages of 18 and 40 years and is funded by the Department of Bio Technology (DBT), Government of India.
A total of 464 women enrolled from Delhi and Kashmir between 2015 and 2018. Women who consumed meat (203) were selected from Kashmir, while those who were vegetarian (261) were from Delhi. This included women who were healthy as well as those suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
A total of 144 women were suffering from PCOS and 320 were healthy. They were divided on the bases of their dietary preferences — vegetarianism and non-vegetarianism. The findings have left researchers bewildered.
First described in 1935, PCOS causes irregular menstrual cycles, excessive body or facial hair and polycystic ovaries in women. PCOS increases the risk of having three types of cancer — ovarian, endometrial and breast.
All women underwent a detailed clinical assessment using a common proforma and methods of evaluation at both centres.
They were examined on the basis of their menstrual history, drug intake, 72-hour dietary recall, blood pressure, height, weight, lipid profile, liver function, kidney function and inflammatory marker (hs-CRP, TNF-a, IL-6, resistin, adiponectin). Higher TNF-a means increased risk of having the lifestyle disease, while adiponectin is considered to be the protective marker. | 2019-04-21T05:00:58 | http://banglamirrornews.com/2019/01/25/women-who-eat-meat-less-prone-to-disease-study/ |
A retrospective of the work of Vancouver designer Tobias Wong (1974-2010) opens tonight at the Museum of Vancouver. It’s curated by Todd Falkowsky who, along with his colleagues at the Canadian Design Resource, has perhaps done more to promote Canadian design and designers than anyone else, at least in the last decade. Tobias died two years ago at the young age of 35. The Museum of Vancouver show in his memory is titled (Object)ing: The art/design of Tobias Wong, and it refers to the fact that Wong did make objects, but he made objects that questioned and often objected to the way in which we make and consume objects. His work sat on the border of art and design; he treated design as sculpture. This show brings Tobias’ work to Vancouver, his hometown.
I became more familiar with Tobias’ work when I was in a group design show with him at the Royal Ontario Museum. That show too was curated by Todd along with his colleagues at the well-known Canadian creative agency Motherbrand. It was titled Cut / Copy / Paste and featured work from designers whose methods employ various types of bricolage or re-purposing: perhaps recruiting an object recruited for a new use, or a designer appropriating another designer’s work, or the hybridization of formerly distinct objects. In the photo below my piece is just behind Tobias’ renowned illuminated chair – a Philippe Starck chair to which he had added an internal lamp. (Photo below; mine’s a quilt made of souvenir, made-in-Japan “Amik” (beaver) mascot scarves from the Montreal 1976 Olympics.) Tobias’ chair will be on view at the MoV in this show.
Read also this article by Guy Keulemans on Tobi’s work; it’s one of the most informative.
originally from canada, tobias wong (b.1974) studied art at cooper union in new york city, where he graduated in sculpture. veering across disciplines and materials, wong has created an oeuvre that is immediately accessible, yet contentious. he pursues his own brand of conceptualism, the self coined “paraconceptual,” and “postinteresting,” and uses design as a medium, as he says, to expose the similarities between art and design, rather than to blur their boundaries.
Tobias’ Savoy doorstop, created by pouring concrete into Alvar Aalto’s famous Savoy vase (below). Its production requires the destruction of the vase, thus relegating the glass status object to the function of a mere mold.
The first time I met Tobias Wong was in New York City in 2004, where we both had shows at the Felissimo House. As I was setting up my space, a small, very pleasant guy kept circling around and nodding his approval at what we were installing. As we were finishing, he finally came forward and introduced himself as a “big fan”. We chatted about the work and he shared some thoughts. It was only after he left, when I asked the curator who he was, did I find out that it was Tobias. Humble, interested, and filled with ideas. It was a genuine pleasure to meet someone with so much talent introduce himself as a fan when in fact he was a celebrated artist/designer with his star on an explosive rise. Well, the feeling was mutual.
I knew that designers appreciated Tobi’s work, but I realized his influence had run deeper when I was teaching at OCAD in Toronto. I was pleasantly surprised by how many design students wanted to do work like his. They were not looking to be designers in the traditional sense, but to become provocative and use product design as a mirror and comment on the status and purpose of our culture. They did not want to be Starck or Rashid; instead they wanted to be Tobias Wong, the artist who used design to break the rules. Tobi’s ideas and approach had impact on design practice, inviting designers to use their craft to create serious meaning and new ways of interacting with our communities.
Our paths continued to cross over the years and though we were able to work together a handful of times, we always talked about future projects to collaborate on, new shows, products, and publications. That opportunity was not meant to be — a reminder to grab the chances you have and to do the things you really want to do today, rather than tomorrow. I brought Tobias to Toronto in January 2010 for one of his last lectures, and showed his iconic “This is a Lamp” at the accompanying exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum. This was the last time I talked to him.
Later that spring, upon learning of his passing, I immediately suspected that it was not real; the whole thing seemed surreal and mad, and in line with the shock that Tobi’s work sometimes embraced. I thought it was another irreverent yet more potent stunt, ratcheted up from past projects like his Core77 lecture or the elaborate installation, the Wrong Store in Manhattan. Reality settled in and as heartbreaking a loss it was for the art and design community, I felt his ideas and products would endure, and that his work should continue to be seen, discussed, and celebrated.
I had just moved to Vancouver and it struck me that Tobias’ international success deserved a long overdue homecoming, in the city where he was born and raised (and perhaps where his ideas had their beginning). For me, his work was avant-garde, blending design and art, opening both professions up to new directions; work that is still important and deserves to be promoted and shared.
The Museum of Vancouver has graciously opened their doors to me, and the idea for this show, bringing the work of this remarkable Vancouverite home. Tobi’s family, close friends, colleagues, and fans have opened their hearts to share with us their thoughts and experience to understand and contextualize the work (not to mention lending it to us in the first place). I am honoured to have played a part in bringing this exhibition together. I hope Tobias’ work lives on and continues to inspire, disrupt, and provoke.
Object(ing) opens to the public September 20, 2012.

If you are the owner of a large estate or a contractor the Commander X is engineered with you in mind.
Whether used in part of a team or as a one man operation the Commander X towers above the competition. It has versatility and flexibility second to none.
The Powerslide Headstock was designed for Post Drivers by WRAG. Now it has revolutionised the Post Driver industry but the original is still the best! In conjunction with the beam it allows the Post Driver to angle precisely where needed; whether in a rear position or side position. Awkward ‘no go’ areas will become a thing of the past, as the post driver slides along the headstock minimising the need to position the tractor exactly.
Powerswing – hydraulic swing enabling you to work down fence line or in a rear position or anywhere in between. | 2019-04-21T10:33:13 | https://wrag.co.uk/products/commander-x/ |

The N=NP, N≠NP, N?NP, N=ASI relationship.
This is not a mathematical proof but a wider view of what each of these states interact with all solvable problems based on the two major factors determining the bonds between states.
So we would have a series of problems we don’t know to ask. a new state N?NP, which moves into the realm of problems we can’t prove quickly but can be verified as technology advances N≠NP, which then moves into N=NP as technology increases in processing speed to the point where the problems are solved “quickly”. At the center of the diagram we solve all problems within a given domain/dimension instantly. Would that be N=ASI for All problem solved instantly.

I just moved into a rented condo unit a couple of weeks ago. So far it's been a very unhappy experience.
There are two children downstairs (ages 2 and 5) who run constantly. On weekends they are joined by their cousin, age 3.
The soundproofing in the building seems to be pretty good on the whole. I occasionally hear yelling, but mostly it's just running, running, running. Sometimes it reaches the point where I actually have to leave my home in order to achieve peace. It's just very depressing, every day.
They have hardwood floors, apparently without carpet of any kind. My floors are also hardwood, and I have just a couple of area rugs and two runners.
1: The owner of my unit has offered to install wall-to-wall carpeting, with a pad, in the non-tiled areas (that is, everywhere except the kitchen and bathroom). But: would this really help? I'm not crazy about w-to-w and would prefer not to be responsible for this kind of outlay.
2: I'd prefer to get a whole lot of old carpet and a bunch of pillows or cushions, and lay them around all over the place. But: would that help?
3: The person who lives downstairs - the mother of the two kids - is very hostile and has been unwilling even to consider making a change of any kind. I may be forced to go to the condo association for a remedy. Question: if she installs carpeting of any kind, would that make a difference??
4: Is there anything at all that I can do? I'm really wretched in my present circumstances.
Installing carpet, padding and an underlayment down stairs is the best solution! Soundproofing from the source always delivers the best reduction.
As for changing the hard surface areas to soft surface ares in your unit, this will also help the sound that enters your unit and reduce the echo in your unit..
Thank you so much for your reply. It is terrific to have this information.
The Condo Association rules require that upstairs units (i.e., me) have "carpeting." There doesn't seem to be a hard-and-fast definition of "carpeting." Do you think a bunch of area rugs and runners would be okay for my unit? Does it really make a difference if the covering in my unit is w-to-w? or would a bunch of individual pieces be okay?
a bunch of individual pieces will work, however you will not see a change until you cover enough area..Now remember this is for the sound that is already in the room.
Any airborne sound that comes from below most likely will not have a dramatic change unless you go wall to wall with an underlayment.
Randy, thanks so much for your help.
The problem from below is almost totally impact sound. All that running, and hopping and jumping.
Will w-to-w in my unit help with that??
I'm still confused about what to do.
Sorry for any confusion, The only thing you can do that will deliver relief will be to put carpet and padding on the floor the kids are running on if you want to increase the reduction then our underlayment of MLV w/closed cell foam will need to be added beneath the padding. The remainder of impact noise is going to travel up to your unit, once sound is in your unit the sound will remain longer if the whole room is hard surface area. If you convert 30% or more to soft surface area( carpet,tapestry,soft furniture) then you will reduce the amount of time the sound stays in your unit. | 2019-04-18T10:16:56 | http://supersoundproofing.com/forum/index.php/topic,2795.0.html |

I have never really thought about this, but reading it, I realised that there was a point (5 years ago or so) where I stopped questioning my worth and just accepted it.
It’s amazing how long it took for me to realize I was making the decision every day that I didn’t matter. And if you listen to that voice instead of your better angels, you begin to believe it. It’s just like the drinking voice though. Once you recognize it, you no longer think of the voice as “you.” And you no longer believe what that voice tells you.
It’s true that you have to be selfish and put you first to have half a chance of giving up drinking. Friends especially drinking buddies come a distant second!
I think as women it is especially difficult to put ourselves first. I too am trying to embark on a similar journey. Wishing you the best.
You are so right, Aurora! We get the message at a young age that we should put ourselves second, that it’s somehow noble to stifle our own voice. It’s so freeing to question that belief and then move past it.
Thank you so much.. That is such a lovely complement, because seeing everyone around me being able to control their drinking and I cannot, makes me feel so immature and childish. But I have accepted that alcohol is not for me at all. | 2019-04-22T11:58:10 | https://asobermiracle.wordpress.com/2019/01/01/quit-drinking-the-decision-that-changes-everything/ |

I have loved every aspect of working with Lotus Stress Relief. They have worked with me from the start — in buying my LIFE System biofeedback, in teaching me,and sharing all the knowledge I needed to get started. Their encouragement and enthusiasm helped me stay focused on each step of the way toward my new business! I appreciate that there are such quality people in this business.
The training with Evan at Lotus was wonderful. She is very easy to work with, patient, caring, plus an excellent teacher.
I found both the training and the program to be excellent. Evan is a true professional. She knows the (LIFE) system and how to teach it. Her patience is exemplary. I highly recommend her and the Lotus Stress Relief agency.
I appreciate the one on one approach – also the positive-up building attitude of everyone on the staff.
My training with Lotus Stress Relief has been thorough, illuminating and comprehensive. It speaks volumes about The LIFE System and its respect in the field of energy medicine.
Thank you, Evan for your warm and intuitive training style. I very much appreciate your ability and willingness to provide creative methods along side basic skills. At my stage of practice with biofeedback, that was an inspiring and exciting way to learn the LIFE System!

BLACKPINK‘s “DDU-DU DDU-DU” didn’t captivate me immediately upon release, but over time I found the hook and the instrumental addictive enough to put it on the year-end list of 2018’s best. For whatever reason, people were upset about that, as many preferred “Forever Young“. However, as the former grew on me, the latter’s instrumental wore over time.
I rehash all this because with the much-anticipated release of “Kill This Love“, I get the feeling it ends up a lot more like “Forever Young” than “DDU-DU DDU-DU”.
The remarkable thing about “Kill This Love” is that it manages to attack the listener with a grating combination of brass and distortion but still manages to not be able to use that noise to make it feel anywhere near as anthemic as it wants to be. It’s surprisingly downbeat at its core and there’s never much the way of a decent melody.
When it comes to producers trying different things, I try to keep an open mind, but this just didn’t come together for me on any level. The flow utilized during the rap verses isn’t to my taste regardless, but the vocal effects used on Jennie‘s quasi-rap (Lisa‘s was fine) and then during Jisoo‘s sung pre-chorus were just a baffling choice as it washed out a lot of their individuality and added an unpleasant piercing effect to their parts. By far the best part of the song followed in the form of Rose‘s unburdened vocal, as she takes the baton from Jisoo and successfully builds and builds to the chorus.
At this point, “Kill This Love” is still salvageable as long as the said chorus delivers. Unfortunately, it somehow manages to be both underwhelming and noisily grating at the same time. There’s honestly not a whole lot going on other than tooting brass pipes that quickly irritate and an occasional drum pound, which creates a slog of an instrumental and kills any momentum the song was building. The “let’s kill this love” line would be fine enough as a hook, but it’s just repeated intermittently and the rest of the chorus isn’t fleshed out at all despite the instrumental having ample gaps to fill.
It’s hard to find much that I enjoyed about “Kill This Love” other than select sections here or there. It was visually impressive and the girls themselves did their best, but baffling production choices somehow made this come off both a bit irritating and surprisingly flat. The song should do well on the charts and all that, but it’s difficult to see this growing on me like their other efforts have, as I think the more you listen to it the more apparent the flaws become. | 2019-04-24T18:20:24 | http://www.asianjunkie.com/2019/04/04/review-blackpink-return-with-a-grating-mish-mash-of-sounds-on-kill-this-love/ |

Most students begin graphing the student to teacher ratio in each year. They must calculate these ratios from the NCES data. As an example, the scatter plot of the student to teacher ratio for the entire United States from 2000 to 2006 looks like the graph below.
A superficial approach to this question is to model the student to teacher ratio with a linear or quadratic function. In the case of the entire US, this leads to functions that are decreasing.
Both of these functions predict that the student to teacher ratio will eventually reach zero. This is not likely to happen. What is more likely is that the ratio will begin to level off. To get that type of behavior, the students turn to modeling the students and teachers separately. The resulting functions are divided to give a ratio function.
Finally, students take the limit as the input approaches infinity to find the level the student to teacher ratio approaches in the long term.
As outlined with the US data, the strategy does not seem difficult to follow. However, each student is only using these graphs as a guide to complete a similar analysis on the state they have been assigned to analyze. Their data may or may not behave the same way as the US data. For instance, in many states the number of teachers is decreasing. Modeling the data with a polynomial leads to a function that will equal zero. The resulting ratio function then has a vertical asymptote. Students must model teachers with a function that is non-negative to eliminate this type of behavior. Most students examine several different options for their ratio to find one that behaves as they expect it should behave based on the data. | 2019-04-19T00:25:47 | http://pblpathways.com/solution-strategy/ |

Chrysler have, in recent years, produced some inspired car designs, the PT Cruiser, the 300C and the Crossfire are fine examples of this, their largest success has however been in the MPV class, with the Voyager and Grand Voyager, people carriers designed with people in mind.
Finance your new Chrysler using a PCP (Personal Contract Purchase). Payment is made on a monthly basis directly from your bank account for an agreed period of time – normally between two and four years. Your initial deposit can be anything from 0 to 40%, and your regular payments will be much lower than hire purchase. You can also pay extra to include all your servicing costs and a one off payment can be made for Gap insurance. At the end of the agreed period you either hand your Chrysler back, or, if you decide to keep it, you can pay the “balloon payment”, this is the Guaranteed future value (GFV) that is specified when you make the original agreement. | 2019-04-24T08:13:45 | http://www.broker4cars.co.uk/chrysler-finance-personal-contract-purchase-pcp.htm |
As we left Chennai behind and drove towards our weekend retreat, a sense of relaxation started to set in. Now let’s just rewind a couple of hours. Of course, all the things that can go wrong on the D Day took its course. We had packed all the possible things we would need on our trip and planned to hit the road by six thirty to escape the morning city traffic and save on our travel time. But of course, as always, firstly, the alarm doesn’t go off, so we had to hurriedly jump out of bed and rush out to get ready. Secondly, my daughter refused to wake up and decided that the world wouldn’t come to an end if we start an hour later. Kids! Now what do they know, except to complain later when we’re stuck in traffic. So finally, when reasoning failed and threatening began, she got the point. Then of course my son, who couldn’t go anywhere without his cricket kit (and I mean stumps and all) , his transformer toy and all the bare necessities a ten year old boy can’t live without, had to be packed . Finally and I mean Finally, after ticking off the check list for last minute things to be done before leaving the house, we managed a group hug (this is a tradition we love to follow just to bring everyone into the holiday mood, thanks to my dearest hubby) we are in our car cheering in chorus – yelagiri here we come.
The three and a half hour drive to the nearest hilly terrain, yelagiri, doesn’t seem to be too tedious, does it. Not if you have two kids simply allergic to the idea of travel. The mere mention of it can spell disaster in our household. So, right from the minute we left our apartment premises, the infamous phrase “are we there yet” was the only mantra we heard for the next 2 hours. Thank god for the music we took along that saved the day. We had downloaded the kids favourite songs just the day before. What a life saver….(sigh).
Another minor abberation to our plan was that the online purchases (which usually don’t arrive without much following up), miraculously began to arrive one after the other at our house right about the time we crossed the city limits. But nothing could stop us from enjoying our holiday plans, we decided, and yanked the music a little louder to drown all the mundane thoughts in our minds.
Soon the scenery around us started changing. From the hustle and bustle of the city life, we were suddenly in the midst of serenity, surrounded by hills and grassy plains with very few signs of civilisation. The surety that we were in the lap of nature came when we lost cell phone signals and network.. (wink wink). We could feel the daily routine of hurried monotony melting away and giving way to a relaxed and laid back mind set.
As we drove past the hair pin bends, we could feel the sweltering heat of chennai taking a dip as the fresh mountain breeze started to blow on our faces.
We were pleasantly surprised as we entered the property where we had booked a cottage. Nestled amidst greenery, flowering shrubs and fruit trees, it was just the place we were hoping for. Vast acres of green space with cozy cottages, hammocks and park benches, huge trees, birds chirping, swings, exotic plants, kitchen garden and duck pond, it was an ideal getaway for my family of four.
For my artist daughter, cricket fanatic son, outdoor adventure loving husband and a person like me who would love to curl up with a book or sketch, this seemed to be a perfect place to unwind. This private property managed by two brothers had everything a nature lover could wish for – including a private trekking path starting from the premises with our own guide, a cheerful old farm helper.
Day one was reserved for lazing around and nothing else – apart from us trekking to sunset point and a few good games of badminton, followed by a hearty dinner.
On day two, the weekend crowd started pouring in. Voices of kids squealing and chattering filled the air. A nearby location for adventure sports beckoned. After a couple of hours of adrenaline rush, we returned back to our oasis for a sumptuous lunch. There is nothing like a short nap on a lazy Saturday afternoon, is there?
My daughter accompanied by her sketch book didn’t leave the cottage and my social butterfly son, chased new friends around, played ring ball, badminton and random games and never entered the cottage. Post dinner, a roaring camp fire was an ideal way to wind up a beautiful Saturday.
Day three, started out with an early morning nature walk around the 10 acre property with Korean grass pathways, bamboo grooves, trees like mango and guava laden with fruits, geese quacking, birds chirping and the sun coming up shining brightly. Equipped with a nikon camera deftly around my neck, my hubby and I had a field day clicking away trying to capture the beauty (if that’s even possible) in a vain attempt to relive the moments later. That done, we were ready to leave, rested and rejuvenated.

Martinez taught at the California School (later College) of Arts and Crafts. In addition to participating in numerous group shows, he had solo exhibitions in San Francisco at the Vickery Gallery in 1905 and at the Helgesen Galleries in 1915 (monotypes), and at the California School of Arts and Crafts in Oakland in 1941. Martinez was a founding member of the California Society of Artists (1902) and the California Society of Etchers (1912). | 2019-04-26T04:09:35 | https://americanart.si.edu/artist/xavier-martinez-3144 |

Children learn appropriate behaviour very effectively once they experience the negative consequences of poor choices. Sometimes, though, the consequences negatively affect others and not the child directly so the lessons are not as immediate or clear. To help teach children learn respect, parents can implement logical consequences as a means of discipline. Logical consequences differ from natural consequences, and it is important to discuss them with children and teens as well as follow through with them once such discussions have taken place.
Continuing to bang a drunk will result in the drum being taken away.
Sneaking cake after school will result in no cake after dinner.
Not bringing uniforms to the laundry will result in no clean clothes for school.
Pinching or biting will result in not being able to play with others for a little while.
Watching inappropriate television programmes will result in no TV for a week.
Advise of the behaviour that will have a consequence.
Talk about why the behaviour is a bad choice for the child.
Help the child realise how his or her actions may affect others.
Explain why a consequence will take place following a behaviour.
Clearly state the consequence that the child can experience.
Discuss the time limit on the consequence (for the rest of the day, week, etc).
Implement the consequence immediately following a child’s next bad decision.
Use consistency so that children know a consequence will always occur and not chance it.
Remind a child why the consequence is necessary every time it is implemented.
Teenagers who have never experienced the logical consequences of bad decisions will be less likely to make good decisions than those who have. In fact, teens who have never experienced logical consequences may believe that their actions don’t matter and/or that someone else will always be around to fix their mistakes and make sure their lives aren’t complicated by their own actions. For such teens, allowing natural consequences to result from their behaviours is a good first step. Once they understand that their actions will have consequences, then parents may want to implement logical consequences of their own much as they would with younger children. Of course if a teen’s choices might harm him or her or anyone else then parents must step in and stop it immediately.
Logical consequences teach children respect and discipline because they allow children to very clearly understand the relationship between their decisions and the consequences they suffer. Logical consequences are distinct from natural consequences, but both work very effectively to encourage appropriate behaviour in children and teens. | 2019-04-18T12:52:25 | http://www.kidsbehaviour.co.uk/logical-consequences-teach-children-respect.html |
I just passed CE and 95% of my revision is based on Ballast. I did the same for PcM and PjM and I passed both.
I used Ballast Review Manual and Practice Exams. When I checked the forum 2 days before my CE exam, I am a bit freaked out to find not a lot of people mentioned them for this part of the ARE exam.
I have to give enough credit for the books, as they are very well organized and helpful for these 3 exams I took.
I did find several mistakes in the books, even in the answers of the prarice exam, but overall I trust their accuracy.
Congrats on passing! I'm taking my CE exam this Thursday and have been mainly reading the Brigthwood book and Contacts. I've been reading the Ballast book and doing the exam and practice questions and was feeling great until I discovered the errors! I'm stoked to hear that they worked for you. | 2019-04-26T10:38:45 | https://are5community.ncarb.org/hc/en-us/community/posts/360017143333-Just-passed-CE-using-Ballast-s-books |
It was kind of inevitable, the first time my daughter tried to grab my iPhone and ingest it. Fortunately it was only some minor droolage that occurred, but it got me wondering what there was in the way of mobile baby entertainment for Apple’s mobile device. After all, what’s that new smear resistant screen on the iPhone 3GS for if not exposure to small children? (Assisted of course).
Other than that. Well there’s a 101 apps for naming your baby. A fair few to record feeds and nappy changes that suffer from interface overload. Some apps that claim to act as baby monitors and tweet you if they hear anything(!) Nothing else that stands out after a trawl. | 2019-04-25T18:40:14 | https://newdadsite.com/2009/11 |

Jupyter notebooks deliver a robust and flexible environment to simplify data analysis and collaboration across industry. Patty Ryan, Lee Stott, and Michael Lanzetta explore four industry examples of Jupyter notebooks that illustrate innovative applications of machine learning in manufacturing, retail, services, and education and share four reference industry Jupyter notebooks (available in both Python and R)—along with demo datasets—for practical application to your specific industry value areas. The examples are fully illustrated with data pipelines that highlight the preparation of classic data primitives ready for modeling and the actual modeling development.
Each example includes a description of the customer journey from problem to approach, solution, and impact, along with Jupyter notebooks with synthetic datasets that allow you to replicate the application patterns. Patty, Lee, and Michael also share data primitive templates for each area, enabling pattern matching by helping you recognize or build the reference data within your organization or for your clients to apply these solutions.
Patty Ryan leads prototyping engagements with partners, both large and small, on the Technology Evangelism and Development team at Microsoft. She specializes in designing and operationalizing predictive models that inform strategies, focus customer outreach, and increase engagement. Previously, Patty led telemetry, analytics, UX, and support in Dynamics, Azure Identity, and O365, driving innovation in customer-facing self-service and distributed analytics.
Lee Stott is CTO of academic engagements at Microsoft, where he engages academic institutions across the UK in the ongoing development of the Microsoft platform. Lee has held a number of roles at Microsoft, including academic and technical evangelist. Previously, Lee was the head of information systems at the University of Manchester, where he led service and delivery teams across both academic and commercial markets.

Like Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo Imperial Porter is deep and complex. This turbo charged version of the Road Dog Porter is mysteriously dark with a rich malty body, intense roasted flavors, and a surprisingly unique hop kick. With Gonzo weighing in at 9.2% ABV, it'll bite you if you don’t show it the proper respect. | 2019-04-25T02:06:11 | http://www.bloominggroveinn.com/flying_dog_gonzo.html |
Half-Formed Half-Minute Hero Impressions: Why Am I Naked?!
Another game Stephen Totilo got to first that I was curious about was Half-Minute Hero, the game where you really only have 30 seconds to beat a level.
The game's concept sounded simple enough to me – you play as little 8-bit characters that riff on classic role-playing game tenants and have 30 seconds to get through various levels that open up on a world map. However, when I picked up the game and actually started to play, I couldn't figure out which buttons did what. Then, with 10 seconds to spare on the clock and about two inches shy of the boss encounter, my character was suddenly naked and without a sword and shield.
No other game has ever made me say "What the $%&@" out loud before. It took me and four other games journalists half an hour to figure out what exactly happened. Apparently, when you stop in a town (where the timer so graciously pauses most of the time), you can pray at a Goddess statue to reset the timer back to 30 seconds. To do this, you have to shell out 100 gold initially and then 200 gold the next time you do it and so on. If you don't have enough gold, the Goddess will still reset the time, but at some random point during your game, she'll show up and strip you naked — also, the timer apparently won't pause in towns anymore.
Really, it was the damndest thing — not just being naked, but the whole concept of only have 30 seconds to get from one end of a map to another. Half-Minute Hero feels more like a puzzle game than an action game, really. The sooner the player grasps that and starts plotting out exactly where to go and when to pay the Goddess to reset the timer, the less time they'll spend yelling "What the $%&@" at their PSPs. | 2019-04-25T05:15:30 | https://kotaku.com/half-formed-half-minute-hero-impressions-why-am-i-nake-5348255 |
Archery is a physical sport which demands perfect precision and consistency each time the bow is drawn and an arrow released.
Any instability in the archer’s stance, the set of the shoulders, neck or spine will have a cost in accuracy. Many archers benefit from strength training, but standard strength training routines will do little to fine tune the proprioceptive skills and the postural body awareness which can lead to the high level of consistency, strength and endurance this sport demands.
Pilates teachers refer to a set of six basic principles upon which the method is built. As an archer, do these concepts resonate with you?
CENTERING. Focus on the center of your body: the powerhouse (or core.) All movement and balance come from the center of the body.
CONCENTRATION. Joseph Pilates taught us about the “Mind / Body Connection.” Concentrating the mind fully on the actions of your body, you make the most of each movement.
CONTROL. With centering and concentration, you achieve control of your movements. Your goal is to move with complete muscular control of your body.
PRECISION. Centering, concentration and control will enable you to achieve precision. Your movements become exactly as you visualize them.
BREATH. Movement and breathing become coordinated. Each breath supports and drives your movement. Emptying the lungs is as important as filling them.
FLOW.Your goal is to flow smoothly, with little apparent effort from one movement through to the next. As in sport, or life in general, flow is a sign of mastery.
As a young man I took up archery. It was all in the family. My stepfather was an expert who enjoyed routinely “twentying” all the stations at the field archery courses he frequented in upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania. When I look at the benefits of Pilates, and think back to my own experience shooting a bow and arrow, and of observing accomplished archers practicing their sport, I see a perfect fit.
Much like my primary sport of climbing, archery is a very mental activity. There is a joke among climbers, “climbing is 90% mental and 90% physical.” I think the same is true in archery.
Pilates is a method which builds a strong body at the same time we nurture and develop the mental aspects of movement, visualization and action. Keep in mind that Joseph Pilates was not a lightweight type of guy. He was a professional fighter, and the core of his work is about being strong, in control and aware. | 2019-04-22T18:05:11 | http://www.kristiansolem.com/sports/archery/ |
A week before they were deployed to Afghanistan, Kathleen and Drew Barton’s pet care plans fell through. The couple, who live in Mays Landing, NJ, spent that week frantically calling shelters, friends, and family in search of a temporary home for their two large dogs. Putting them in a kennel was too costly.
Fortunately, Kathleen looked online and found PACT: People, Animals, Companions, Together, a nonprofit that helps military personnel find foster homes for their pets while they are serving overseas. In less than a day, Buzz Miller, a retired lawyer who founded the nonprofit, located a foster home for the Bartons’ two dogs, Sasha and Vada.
“I was just blown away at the love and compassion they had for my animals,” says Kathleen, who would keep in touch with her dogs’ foster parents via letters and emails.
PACT doesn’t charge for their services. They do, however, ask pet owners to provide enough money for veterinarian care. PACT does not accept overly aggressive dogs, and expects all pets to be spayed or neutered.

Carpet Cleaning Paddington, W2 Premium 15% Off!
If you haven't hired a cleaner before from a professional agency then there's no better place to start than hiring from Clean Carpets.
That's because we're a company which gives you so much more for your money.
A better standard of cleaner, better range of domestic cleaning services as well as better prices. With our domestic cleaning services available throughout London including Paddington and all over the W2 region, that's really a reason to try our great value cleaners. Call our company now on 020 3397 8287 for superior domestic cleaning at a great price. Start with the best and you won't look back.
Clean Carpets is different from other cleaning services in the sense that they notice the little things. My home is in Paddington and they noticed that my home somehow collects little pockets of dust behind couches and appliances far too easily. Every time they come to clean, they take extra time to make sure those dust bunnies are gone!
When I found out a better apartment to rent in Paddington, W2, I immediately began looking for an end of tenancy cleaning service.

In front of the cameras and microphone at least, Peter Keane isn't letting too much optimism show regarding his Kerry team. On Saturday night, they made it three wins from three to start his reign as Kingdom boss.
Significantly, the latest win was a fizzing jolt not just to Kerry football but Gaelic football in general as Dublin were beaten at a packed Austin Stack Park in Tralee.
"The league wasn't a big issue for us. Whenever there's a win going, we'll take it. We won't say no to it if it's coming," Keane told eir Sport after the game before producing a quote which will go down as an all-time great 'yerrah Kerry' line.
That said, look, what have we here, February 9th. There was nothing ever handed out in February. About three weeks ago, I was looking out in my garden and I saw a plant in full bloom. I was looking at it thinking, 'Mother of God,' but I didn't think it was summer. You can be sure that we're not getting to carried away these results.
"We're just happy, we worked hard, particularly in the second half," said Keane.
"We coughed up two goals - even though they were very good goals - that were softer than we'd like. There wasn't even a smell of a goal in that second half. That was something we were very happy with."
You can watch Keane speaking to eir Sport below.
"There was nothing ever handed out in February. 3 weeks ago, I was looking around my garden and I saw a plant and in full bloom. I was looking at it and saying, 'Mother of God,' but I didn't think it was summer." | 2019-04-26T13:39:54 | https://www.balls.ie/gaa/peter-keane-kerry-dublin-405758 |

There are rather a lot of pictures of roofs, as I love the traditional wooden building structures!
It was great going out of season – we practically had the place to ourselves. Saw new piglets, and a ploughing demo.

Medicare is health insurance for people 65 or older, people under 65 with certain disabilities, and people of any age with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant).
Medicare eligibility begins for most people at age 65. Individuals who have been entitled to Social Security disability for at least 24 months also qualify.
If you are already receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits, then you will also automatically receive Part A and Part B starting the first day of the month you turn 65. If you're automatically enrolled, you will receive your Medicare card in the mail 3 months before your 65th birthday, or the 25th month of disability benefits.
If you are not receiving Social Security or Retirement Benefits, or if you have End-Stage Renal Disease, you will need to sign up for Part A. There are many ways to do so, whether in person, over the phone, or online. To learn more, please visit this page. If you are not automatically enrolled, and are eligible to sign up for Part A, you can enroll anytime once your Initial Enrollment Period starts. You can only sign up for Part B during your initial enrollment period, general enrollment period, or special enrollment period. These enrollment periods are discussed in further detail on our "Medicare Enrollment Periods" page. | 2019-04-19T07:09:52 | https://abcmedicareplans.com/definition-of-medicare/ |

Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for government agencies to experience lag time in responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Without an efficient records management strategy in place, responding to a request can involve a trip to the records room to find the appropriate storage box, locate and photocopy the requested documents, and mail the photocopies to citizens.
Fortunately, many local governments are proactively working to keep their names off the Foiles ballot.
When Walmart applied to build two stores in Fontana, the city knew the retailer’s opponents would inundate the clerk’s office with information requests. This prompted Fontana to rethink how it handles processing these requests.
Using enterprise content management (ECM) technology, the city created a public portal where residents can easily access public records from URLs provided by the City Clerk when a request is made.
Fontana also used Facebook and Twitter to increase transparency by announcing updates to the project.
Walmart has since suspended its plan to build stores in Fontana, so there are no scheduled meetings or calendars on the site at this time. However, the city’s proactive approach was so successful in streamlining information requests that it plans to post the public records associated with future high-visibility projects on the public portal.
The State of Kentucky’s House Bill 26 mandates that every public agency must provide public access to records relating to its expenditures and maintain these records on its website for three years.
One shortcut allows employees to work directly with the original document.
Another shortcut is saved to KSD1’s public portal so the public can search for and view the document.
With technology making information more immediately accessible, these two agencies recognized that making people wait weeks or even days for a response is no longer acceptable. But instead of hiring more staff to process information requests and comply with FOIA mandates, they’ve enabled their residents to find public records themselves. Their proactive attitudes in making information easily available will surely keep their names off the Foilies.
To avoid being a Foilie nominee, get the Ultimate Guide to Records Management and learn how take on any volume of public requests for information. | 2019-04-20T08:50:25 | https://www.laserfiche.com/ecmblog/how-two-agencies-keep-up-with-foia-demands/ |

Recognizing that service to youth is a critical service area in Rotary International, Portland Pearl Rotary expanded its connection more than a decade ago with Lincoln High School. Previous to that, PPRC had active youth exchange participation (inbound and outbound) that impacted LHS students. Another reason for reaching out was to increase recruitment for host families.
Principal Peyton Chapman, then new to Lincoln, quickly embraced Rotarians. (Aside: Her father was a Rotarian in Cleveland, Ohio.) We immediately implemented the student of the month program, honoring excelling and service-minded seniors. We borrowed a certificate from the Monticello, Minn., Rotary Club, and localized to PPRC and LHS. We began a relationship that Peyton has often championed in her administrative world. And, as Pearl Rotary hoped, it has extended beyond the student recognition program where we started.
The Social Justice Committee (in collaboration with the Youth Services and Membership Committees) will work with Madison High School through its Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program. AVID is a college readiness program designed to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in college. The program places special emphasis on growing writing, critical thinking, teamwork, organization and reading skills.
What’s been accomplished at Lincoln High School provides a template for the Portland Pearl Rotary Club’s Social Justice Committee. In addition to potential recruitment of YE host families, we are also interested in implementing this strategy to support the our diversity, equity and inclusion plan -- to expand community connections that would serve to enhance the diversity of Club membership.
Madison High School seniors involved in the AVID program would be honored based on their scholarship and other critical growth attributes that qualified applicants possess. AVID program lead(s) would make selections with the support of the Madison High School Principal. The selected student/family will attend two club meetings. The student then returns the following week and speaks for 4-5 minutes, most often on a topic, issue, passion or experience of their choosing. Questions and answers may follow; the framed certificate is awarded by the PPRC school liaison.
Madison started the first AVID high school program in the State of Oregon. | 2019-04-21T16:09:33 | https://portlandpearlrotary.org/pprc-begins-madison-high-school-student-of-the-month/ |
Want a class tailored to your needs and schedule?
Sammy the Salmon will kick off this event describing the life cycle of salmon and the habits and habitat requirements of NW Salmon and trout.
During this educational and fun “watershed” event, students will learn stream and wetland ecology terms that will give them a jump ahead on their classmates at school. Students will role-play as polluters causing water quality problems and as a team explore solutions.
Everyone will get a hands-on introduction to the bottom of the fish food chain – aquatic insects collected from our local pond. Next, the class will go on a field trip to North Creek for an introduction to native plant identification and to learn why forests and wetlands are critical to salmon and wildlife habitat.
This very interactive and experiential learning class will conclude with a video introduction to students who have “adopted” a local stream and restored is salmon run…and a challenge for all participants to become Streamkeepers who take actions to protect their local streams.
Age Recommendation: This event is most popular with elementary and middle school students; a more advance high school curriculum is available.
Ever wonder what specific insects are flying around your home? Come to the Insect Safari and join Naturalist Tom Murdoch who will show you how to use a “sweep net” and an “aerial net” that you will use to capture insects around the Northwest Stream Center. Then, you will gently place the captured insects on a sheet (yes…a bed sheet) so that you can see them easily. Naturalists will then help you identify the different types of insects and stages of their life.
In advance of the “safari adventure” you will be provided an insect basic training lecture about the habits and habitat requirements of terrestrial insects and their benefits to the ecology of the Pacific Northwest.
This event is fun for kids and adults.
Date: You can schedule this event during the week…as the days get longer in the summer your time slot can extend into the late afternoon! This is most fun in late spring and through the summer.
Pacific Chorus Frogs are “singing a tune”, and Salamanders are on the move at the Northwest Stream Center!
These fascinating amphibians come in many sizes and colors and their lifestyles are just as amazing.
Join us for a lively presentation and see these creatures on the Northwest Stream Center big screen.
Learn interesting facts about some of our most interesting residents who live double lives — one in the water and one on the land. Best time to see “egg masses is February through April”… lots of frog tadpoles and baby salamanders through Spring and Summer … adults in the Fall!!
This program will introduce you to the connections between healthy watersheds, wetlands, wildlife, fish and aquatic insects. Aquatic insects are important indicators of wetland health and water quality, as well as vital parts of the wetland food chain. They are also beautiful and fascinating, as anyone watching dragonflies skimming the surface of a pond on a summer’s day will attest. There will be a live exhibition of critters from the Northwest Stream Center resident pond, so you can view first-hand the insects that live in our local ponds and learn about their life cycles and habitats.
Age Recommendation: Grade 1 to Adult.
Join us for a walk in the woods and native plant gardens around the Northwest Stream Center. Naturalists will teach you how to identify native plants you are likely to encounter in the area — perhaps even in your own back yard! Learn why native plant buffers are critical to salmon and wildlife habitat, and how Native Americans made use of plants for building materials, food, and medicine.
Date: While this event is generally scheduled during the week, with advance notice it can be scheduled on weekends as well.
For: Stream/Wetland landowners, educators, land use planners, real estate agents/appraisers, lawyers, and anyone else interested in stream and wetland ecology.
Learn watershed terminology used by the scientific community.
Understand the functions and values of wetlands, how they are defined by the agencies, and how to distinguish between different types of wetlands.
Discover how streams function and their relationships between forests, wetlands, underwater insects, fish, wildlife, and people.
Explore a fundamental question: How close can you build to a stream without affecting salmon?
Familiarize yourself with the latest federal, state, and local government stream and wetland protection regulations; pending enforcement procedures; and the potential for citizen initiated legal actions in conjunction with the Endangered Species and Clean Water Acts.
Class includes a stream and wetland field trip. Materials provided include: portions of Adopting A Stream A NW Handbook, Adopting A Wetland: A NW Guide; and graphics from the Streamkeepers Field Guide: Watershed Inventory and Stream Monitoring Methods.
Nexus Credit Option from Washington State Bar Association.
Northwest Forest and salmon are intertwined. The Forest softens the effects of heavy rain, and provides underlying organic duff that slowly filters rainfall into the ground moderating stream flows.
Forests also provide shade that keeps air temperature cool above streams. That cool air keeps water temperature cool. And cold water hold lots of oxygen.
Salmon need cool clean well-oxygenated streams in which to spawn new generations.
Salmon are ecosystem engineers who bring nutrients into fresh water streams from the sea that provide for the needs of the forest and the wildlife that live in surrounding watershed.
Thanks to bears, wolfs, coyotes, racoons, eagles, ravens and crows and other animals nutrients from the salmon are transported far beyond the trees next to streams into the forests beyond.
At this event, you can see the fragile connection between salmon, bears, trees and people in NW rainforest in a wonderful 45 minute film called the Salmon Forest. After the film that is narrated by Dr. David Suzuki, you will be joined by Adopt A Stream Foundation Ecologists. They will take you for an interpretive walk on the Northwest Stream Center’s brand new Elevated Nature Walk where you will learn more about the interconnections between forests, wetland, streams, fish, wildlife and people…and see the Adopt A Stream Foundation’s Salmon Forest! | 2019-04-22T09:07:27 | https://www.streamkeeper.org/visit/streamkeeper-academy-program-calendar/junior-streamkeeper-academy-classes/ |
Over 1.7 million children live in New York City, the largest child population in the country. Far too many of them are faced with challenges that could have serious and long-lasting impacts on their well-being — poverty, unstable housing, inadequate educational support, and lack of access to essential services, among others.
For more than 20 years, CCC’s Community Risk Ranking has been a critical resource in understanding not only how these risks are interrelated, but also the vast disparities experienced by children across our diverse city.
We’re fortunate to live and work in a city that has begun to take importance steps to make a difference for children. In his State of the City address, Mayor de Blasio pledged his ongoing commitment to initiatives aimed at expanding on access to affordable housing, living wage jobs, and a strong community infrastructure. The Preliminary Budget released last week also included investments that will result in improved opportunities and outcomes for New York City’s children and families such as continued support for prekindergarten for all 4-year olds and middle school after-school programs, as well as new investments in rental assistance and homelessness prevention, child welfare reforms, and expanded community health services.
Our Community Risk Ranking illustrates how these initiatives and others must go deeper and broader to bridge this divide.
Expanding access to rent subsidies, affordable housing and healthy food retail options, and increasing investments in parks and playgrounds.
We hope that our updated Community Risk Ranking will help families, elected officials, policy makers, researchers, foundation and corporate program officers, and New Yorkers at large better understand the needs of the communities in which they live, work and serve, so that they may advocate for the resources necessary for every child and family.
If you have not already done so, please take a few moments to explore CCC’s Community Risk Ranking. Starting next week we will also be posting regularly on our blog to provide a more in-depth look at this data. You can stay up-to-date by following CCC on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. | 2019-04-18T22:44:23 | https://www.cccnewyork.org/blog/message-from-jennifer-march-cccs-community-risk-ranking/ |
WASHINGTON, U.S. - Retaliating against the criticism his administration has drawn over the handling of last year's Puerto Rico disaster - the U.S. President Donald Trump accused the Democrats of inflating the storm death toll.
Earlier this week, Trump expressed confidence in the government's preparedness for Hurricane Florence, which was dubbed to become the most powerful storm to threaten the Carolinas in near three decades.
In a statement, Trump said his government would spare "no expense" in responding to Hurricane Florence and then went on to praise his government's response to the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
The U.S. President called it "one of the best jobs that has ever been done" and described it as an "incredible, unsung success."
Trump's statement however, came in stark contrast to the assessment made by Carmen Yulin Cruz, the Mayor of the Puerto Rican capital, San Juan - who has described Trump's response to the disaster as a "stain on his presidency."
Last month, authorities revised the official death toll from Hurricane Maria to nearly 50 times higher than the 64 deaths reported initially.
An independent academic study by George Washington University, which was commissioned by Puerto Rico's government, put thedeath tollfrom Hurricane Maria at 2,975 people - between September 2017 to February 2018.
In September 2017, Puerto Rico was recovering from Hurricane Irma before Hurricane Maria struck the region.
Hurricane Maria became the most powerful storm in almost a century, to hit the island that houses over 3 million people.
The fierce storm left much of the Caribbean island without electricity for months and wrecked havoc to the region's infrastructure, destroying roads and bridges.
However, Maria's emergency response became highly politicized.
At the time, the Trump administration was criticized as being slow to recognize the extent of the devastation.
Then, the U.S. Government was blamed for being too sluggish in providing disaster relief to Puerto Rico.
He followed it up by another extraordinary claim, calling the official death toll a political scheme.
Trump wrote, "This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any reason, like old age, just add them onto the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico!"
Trump's tweets drew widespread anger, with some well-known Republicans too splitting with the President on the issue.
In its response to Trump's rejection of the toll, the George Washington University - which published the study - stood by its estimate.
It said in a statement, We are confident that the number - 2,975 - is the most accurate and unbiased estimate of excess mortality to date."
Meanwhile, the U.S. territorys governor, Ricardo Rossello has backed the study and said that Puerto Ricans do not deserve to have their pain questioned."
Releasing a video on Facebook, Rossello said, We left this analysis to the scientists and experts, recognizing that there would be many challenges, because we wanted to have a powerful and independent voice to minimize the uncertainty."
San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz responding by calling the President "delusional" and "unhinged from reality."
Cruz took to Twitter to respond to Trump and wrote, This is what denial following neglect looks like: Mr Pres in the real world people died on your watch. YOUR LACK OF RESPECT IS APPALLING!
On Friday, the top Republican in Congress, House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, broke with Trump over the dispute.
When asked about Trump's assertions, Ryan said he had "no reason to dispute the official death toll."
Adding, "You couldnt get to people for a long time on the island because roads were washed out, power was gone and the casualties mounted for a long time. So I have no reason to dispute those numbers. Those are just the facts of what happens when a horrible hurricane hits an isolated place like an island."
Responding to Trump's claims, Republican Senator Marco Rubio said "tragedy should not be politicized."
Meanwhile, Florida's Republican Governor Rick Scott wrote on Twitter, I disagree with @POTUS."
Further, retiring Miami Republican Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said, "
There is evidence, truthful facts that there have been these number of deaths. No one is distorting the truth. It might be a new low."
Ros-Lehtinen added that only a warped mind that would turn this statistic into fake news about himself.
A South Florida Republican, Representative Carlos Curbelo said he did not understand "why Trump would inaccurately state the number of people who died."
Curbelo said, We should all be focused on what is about to happen in the Carolinas and not politicize hurricanes and hurricane relief."
Further, with Hurricane Florence unleashing fierce rains as it hit the coast of North Carolina on Friday, frustration reportedly grew within the White House too, as sources claims officials were exasperated with the presidents focus on Puerto Rico with Florence set to wreck havoc on the U.S. East Coast.
Meanwhile, accused of "bad politics," Democratic lawmakers seized on the presidents inaccurate facts.
New Jersey Democrat, Senator Robert Menendez wrote on Twitter, Youre right, Mr. President. The Hurricane didnt kill 3,000 people. Your botched response did.
And the House Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi said that the president prefers his alternative facts to the tragedy faced by families of the lost.
Mississippi Democrat, Representative Bennie Thompson called for the president to resign and said in a statement, The fact that the President will not take responsibility for his administrations failures and will not even recognize that thousands have perished shows us, once again, that he is not fit to serve as our president."
Experts noted that a poor response to hurricanes - which typically provide a platform for elected officials to display leadership - can do significant damage to approval ratings. | 2019-04-19T23:12:21 | https://www.jamaicanews.net/news/257987167/trump-accuses-democrats-of-inflating-hurricane-maria-toll |

Oh wow, this dress looks as though it was made for you.

Super pretty dress…and it looks beautiful on you. I'm excited to check out WishWantWear!

When KOYO bearing rotation when the raceway surface of the bearing inner and outer rings and rolling body is due to rolling contact, so run track for the dark side, running track attached to the roller surface are not unusual, thus becomes available known load conditions, so when disassembly KOYO bearings, please pay attention and observe strict raceway running track.
If you look at the trajectory, then this will only burden that radial load to bear large axial load, moment load to bear, or in the extreme rigidity of the bearing housing inequality. You can check whether the bearing loads and added an unexpected installation error is big enough, etc., and become investigated for clues to the cause bearing damage.

If you have never had a self-defense class, take one! I took my first ever class today and I want more! It was fun and I learned more than I expected. Punching, kicking, twisting. Give him more than he asked for. Be generous in the a$$ kicking deployment. Don't stop until you get away. The only rule is to keep moving.
Not much of an update, I know but it is what I have. Hope you had a great weekend!
Congratulations, Rose. Sounds like fun...might just have to do that once my shoulder heals up. Please keep us updated on how your classes are going. | 2019-04-18T18:29:52 | http://dragonsrosedd.blogspot.com/2017/09/self-defense-class.html |
Although deadlifts are performed a lot with barbells, they can also be done with dumbbells. Doing them with dumbbells targets slightly different muscles, and really helps with your grip strength as well.
One of the main muscles dumbbell deadlifts target are your glutes. They work to extend your hips and keep your back straight while you’re doing the exercise. If you’re feeling these deadlifts in your lower back, sit back on your heels a little more to activate your glutes.
Your hamstrings will also feel the burn when doing dumbbell deadlifts. They work to extend your hips and flex your knee joints.
Doing dumbbell deadlifts will also give your core a workout. Because you have to maintain an upright torso and flat back, this activates your abs big time. The main muscles you’re working here are the deep stabilizing ones—the transverse abdominus, multifidus, and pelvic floor.
Lastly, dumbbell deadlifts will help you work on your grip strength, which can be difficult to maintain especially if you’re lifting heavier weights. You’ll work the muscles in your forearm—the flexor pollicis longus, flexor digitorum profundus, and flexor digitorum superficialis—and feel the burn not long into your workout.
In the video above, Gerren Liles, Master Instructor at Equinox Fitness Clubs, shows you 10 different dumbbell deadlifts that you can incorporate into your next workout, including a straight-leg deadlift, a suitcase deadlift, a single-leg deadlift, and a single-arm deadlift. Moves like the single-leg deadlift will help you work on improving your balance as well. | 2019-04-21T02:10:33 | https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19533111/10-deadlifts-you-can-do-with-dumbbells/ |
