We recently had the privilege of André Horton coming to speak to our youth as September's Community Role Model. He shared many pearls of wisdom with our youth as well as anecdotal stories that we all thoroughly enjoyed. We hope to share more with you on his visit in a later Blog.
The reason I bring up André's visit, is because he shared with our students a Venn Diagram containing 3 circles with the titles: What you love; What you are good at; and what serves the world. The place where all 3 bubbles intersected was titled: The Sweet Spot.
As I was reflecting on this message in particular, as well as the couple of months I have coming up; the Sweet Spot really fits. In September, October, and November, I have several job fairs and other marketing/recruitment/increasing awareness types of events that I will be participating in or facilitating. September 9th we will be participating in FASD Awareness Day at the Anchorage School District Main building. September 16th, we will be recruiting at the Alaska Dispatch annual Job fair. During the weekend of September 25-27 I will be joining our Treatment Foster Care department for at least some of the time in their recruiting booth at the Alaska Women's Show. October 8th is the University of Alaska, Anchorage Fall Career Fair. And finally, November 13th is the Military Veteran and Spouses Career fair.
I look at this roster and the anticipation and excitement is building. Recruitment is a major part of my job and I am lucky because it is what I love/enjoy doing and I am good at engaging people in those types of conversations. It's quite energizing actually! And you will notice I have hit on 2 of the bubbles mentioned in the Venn Diagram. Here's the kicker: it actually includes the 3rd bubble (what serves the world) because of the population that we serve and the work that our staff do. I really truly believe in the work that we do, the way that we treat our students and their families with dignity and respect, and the way that we embrace the idea of having a healthier Anchorage and Alaska community as a whole. I wouldn't be doing what I do if I didn't believe in those things and our mission. There you have it. I've found my Sweet Spot!
We hope to see you all out and about at some of these upcoming events!

A lot of people, when they start eating better and exercising, will say that they're "losing weight." Not exactly! What they're trying to do is lose fat. If you replaced a significant portion of your fat weight with muscle weight magically one day, you'd notice a HUGE change in your appearance. Your "body composition" would be completely changed – smaller waist, tight abs, toned arms & legs – but you would notice little to no change on the scale. This is why it's so important to use measures of progress other than the scale.
Measure in Inches
As you workout and gain muscle mass, you may notice that the number on the scale stays the same or actually starts to climb. This is because muscle is denser than fat and therefore weighs more. If you're weighing yourself regularly, when you start to workout, you're going to get discouraged when you don't see the number on the scale going down. Instead, measure your progress in inches around your waist. Make a note of where the tape measure falls on Day 1. Then do it again on Day 7, Day 14, and so on. You'll notice real, significant change that the scale can't measure.
Take Pictures
Your Facebook friends may make fun of your gym selfies, but they actually serve a really great purpose. You don't have to share them all on Facebook and Instagram, but after a few weeks, you'll start to see serious differences in your pictures. You'll know what people are talking about when they approach you and ask if you've lost weight.
Make Fitness Goals
Is your goal to run your first 5K? Or is it to beat your time on your last 5K? Whatever you're doing to exercise, make goals for improvement. You can work on getting faster at running or cycling, lifting heavier weights, or getting through a workout with Shaun T without feeling like your core is on fire. You'll feel great about yourself as you meet and exceed each goal.
Personal Experience
Meagan is a 30 something year old wife, mom, and fitness enthusiast (fanatic?).She loves being a boy mom, fitness, cooking healthy food, and working from her dining room. In the last year and half she helped over one hundred people lose hundreds of pounds & inches. Her goal is to help women, and especially women with post-baby bodies, live happier lives with more self-confidence than ever before. She knows that once there is some fun put into fitness (with a little bit of family), the sky is the limit! Her mission is helping people become healthy, fit, and financially free so they can lead fulfilling, vibrant lives. If you'd like to know more about becoming or staying fit physically or financially, e-mail her today!

"Basically, like, I'm not getting shot by a police officer so they're not going to come out and defend me," said Steffon Josey-Davis, a black man who had aspired to be a police officer himself before getting into a legal fight over his firearm.
(VIDEO of story below article)
The NAACP has refused to help Davis, and the young man has reason to be upset over the obvious hypocrisy in the group.
Davis had aspired to be a cop and fight crime in his city in New Jersey. But in 2013, Davis was pulled over in a routine traffic stop. He was then charged with a second-degree felony for having a legally owned firearm in his glove compartment.
Davis did not conceal the fact that he had a gun in the vehicle and told the police officer that he had a gun in the glove compartment. The gun was then seized without mention of any charges. The gun was loaded as Davis was a security guard at the time.
Instead of taking 5-10 years in prison Davis took a plea for a second-degree felony, and it ruined any chances of him becoming a police officer in the future.
So Davis decided to turn to the NAACP for help, for surely they would want to help a young black man who was fighting for his rights, right?
Apparently the NCAAP had no interest at all in helping the young man, and outright refused to do anything.
According to Breitbart.com,
Davis told Fox News, "I went to the NAACP but they refused to help me. They say 'black lives matter,' but obviously they…[all] don't because I didn't fit their agenda."
Fox News' Steve Ducey asked, "What do you mean by 'didn't fit their agenda'?"
Davis responded, "Basically, like, I'm not getting shot by a police officer so they're not going to come out and defend me."
Davis added: "I'm out here doing better for myself, and trying to provide for my family, and my life matters too."
Ducey pointed out that Davis' "last line" — his last chance — for changing things now is a direct appeal to Gov. Chris Christie (R) for pardon. Davis said he is already in the process of seeking that pardon and has a GoFundMe campaign opened to fund those efforts.

Bladder problems
Radiation therapy to the abdomen or pelvic area can irritate the bladder or, more often, the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body).
Possible bladder changes include:
- some stinging when you pass urine
- a little blood in the urine
- needing to pass urine more often, especially at night
- a weaker stream of urine than before
- leaking urine, for example, when you cough or sneeze.
To help manage these side effects, drink plenty of fluids and avoid strong coffee, tea and alcohol. Let your treatment team know if you are experiencing bladder or urinary problems, as they will be able to suggest strategies and may recommend medicines. You can also call the National Continence Helpline on 1800 33 00 66.

I taught my first class as an instructor of record and LOVED IT! I also made a new body of work titled "Make it, Take it" and received the incredible news that my graduate review committee has passed me onto thesis! This means that I can officially form my thesis committee and submit a thesis proposal in the fall! And there is more...I took a paper making class that allowed me the freedom to experiment with paper pulp casting! NCECA was in Houston this year and was an easy drive, I took some photos of my favorites pieces. We also had some excellent MFA exhibitions at LSU this spring and we had Jason Burnett as our visiting artist! Lots of exciting future posts so stay tuned!
I have found blogging and going to graduate school to be quite a juggle and thankfully Jeni has been able to manage posting info relating to her studio. Although I have not been posting entries that much, I have been taking an excessive amount of photographs. So now that summer has arrived I am making a pledge to catch up on my part of our blog and share all of the excitement that has been happening in my studio at LSU. Consider this blog a mini preview of what is to come….and now some pictures….

BlackBerry Storm2 Announced: Five Ways It's Better
RIM didn't just add a new coat of paint and a few software tweaks with the new device. Finally, the innovative touchscreen smartphone just works, and just a few key deficiencies kept it from earning an Editor's Choice award.
After getting our hands on it (for the full BlackBerry Storm2 review, please click here), we've decided it's a great device and the phone RIM should have released the first time out. What has been improved? Here are five big differences between the Storm and Storm2.
1) A vastly improved touchscreen: Let's just say it: the first Storm's touch screen was weird. When it came out, people couldn't stop talking about its odd clicking touch screen that provided haptic feedback. It was like pushing down on a physical button, and yet it wasn't. Not compared to a keyboard, anyway. The Storm2's screen has a lot of similarities to the original, but now RIM has placed four electrical actuators under the screen (one for each corner). This makes the screen more responsive and better for typing.
2) A lot less bugs: When the first BlackBerry Storm was released last November, the unit was buggy as heck. We ran into many problems during testing, and users complained that the software felt incomplete. Six months after the release, RIM and Verizon fixed most of the bugs with a massive software update. Fortunately, the Storm2 shouldn't have this problem, and the subsequent bad buzz because most of the kinks have already been worked out. (There are still a few bugs, mind you, but nothing drastic.)
3) Multi-touch: Since the iPhone 3GS is now the standard all touch-screen smartphones live up to, the addition of multi-touch to the Storm2 is important. It's not full multi-touch, but it's a good start. For example, you can copy and paste text by holding two fingers on both ends.
4) Wi-Fi: While Verizon's 3G network is pretty peppy and far-reaching, people complained when the first Storm didn't have Wi-Fi while the BlackBerry Bold did. Most major devices these days add Wi-Fi to be taken more seriously as a computing platform, so it's good to see it on the Storm2.
5) Bottom-edge speakerphone: The original Storm had its speakerphone molded into its aluminum back panel. This was an unfortunate design problem; if you wanted to do anything on the touch screen while on speakerphone, well, too bad. The Storm2's speakerphone is on the bottom edge of the phone, allowing users to talk on the phone while using the touch screen.

A starting rate of $18 per page is not a very inviting offer, therefore not worthy bragging about. Even so, australianwritings.com.au decided to select this as the best feature they offer, accompanied by 'excellent results' and 'short deadlines'. Whether this means that the company is of extremely high quality for the price offered or they are another scam service, you are about to find out.
Key Features:
100% secure
Non-stop support
Accurate performance
Excellent results
What Customers Say about AustralianWritings.Com.AU
William Burke:
Harry Harding:
Range of Papers
Once we started checking the company's website, we learned that this is another service that works on the bidding system. Despite the many disadvantages this system brings, many companies are starting to choose this approach to selling academic papers.
The range of papers offered is a clear advantage with the bidding system, and aside from the variety of prices you can choose from, perhaps the only one. You can basically find any paper you need in their list, even if it is not there. All you have to do is select the option 'other', and add your specific requirements for the writers to read and bid on.
However, even this comes with certain disadvantages. The company does not find customers an experienced, available writer to work on their paper, but leaves this task to them instead. And while this may sound interesting, it is actually very frustrating and time consuming. So, despite the fact that australianwritings.com.au offers tight deadlines, you cannot possibly expect to make an informed decision about a writer within a short time frame.
In addition to this, choosing your writer also comes with the risk of not finding one that fits your requirements. There will probably be many bidders on your order, but there is always the risk that none of them is a good fit.
Quality of Papers
We are already informed on the bidding system, which is why we decided to order two papers from this company. The lowest bids in such companies always result in low quality content, and this was also the case here. The biggest problem was, this company has set their own lowest bid, which is not low at all.
We also ordered a research paper form a writer who gave somewhat of a realistic rate when compared to the starting price, but still high for a student's budget. Unfortunately, even this writer did not meet our expectations, even after the second revision.
Pricing and Discounts
As we said, the starting rate at AustralianWritings.Com.AU is $18 per page. This rate is high to start with, and it is also the only rate you will find at the company.
While $18 is definitely a high starting rate for deadlines that are far, we had many bids with this starting rate for very short deadlines. This made for a very cheap bargain, but those bidders turned out to be the worst choice.
As for discounts, there is none. Such companies cannot offer discounted prices for new or returning customers, which is a huge disadvantage for a writing service.
Customer Support Availability
Since we got the low quality papers from both writers, we decided to complain about the higher bidder and his complete lack of interest in our requirements. The agents are available via the live chat, and politely accepted two requests for a revision.
The two requests still did not bring the desired results, but the customer service decided we are not entitled to a third one. When we sent out a request for a third revision, the agent became rude and explained we do not get endless revisions and 'the writer did very well on the paper'.
Overall, australianwritings.com.au is a legit writing service in the sense that they deliver content in return of money. However, the quality of content is concerning, and so is the customer service. A company that has no discounts, unlimited revisions, or even a good customer service, is not worth your time and investment.

Pop culture is always evolving and interestingly enough, finds a way to intersect into your life. Since digital photography has been such a trendy form of art in the past 10 years, watching the visual media form collide with social media has brought a whole new level of street photography to life.
The San Francisco based Flaskmob has gotten some major press this year especially in the Los Angeles area. Their last major collab with @conquer_la certainly got the attention of the LAPD when it got shutdown 15 mins after it's start time. Flaskmob is basically a group that organizes photo walks but with an edge. The walks are at night in very urban areas where a handful of male and female models dress up in eerie fairytale-ish costumes and use various forms of smoke bombs, flares, spinning steel wool and anything else that emits lovely low light energy.
This time around, in order to control the crowd, Flaskmob announced the meeting location only by signing up for their newsletter. When we arrived on scene, there was a heavy police presence. The police were not dressed in riot gear so that was a good sign that things weren't gonna get shut down immediately. Figured it was good to have a police escort in that part of town.
As the crowd started to mob, the LAPD were very vocal about people staying on the sidewalk and not breaking any laws and blocking streets. The LAPD helicopter was making sure that people knew what they expected. Since we were waiting for some friends who were behind, we ended up walking at the very tail end of the mob so we missed some good crowd action in the beginning.
Calvin was lucky enough to meet a really cool girl with a boa snake. The first time he had ever held a snake and now he wants one as a pet.
There was a ton of police presence not only cause of the Flaskmob event but also cause of the USC and UCLA football game. It has a collision of events that make it even more interesting. The LAPD had their sirens blaring in the underpass and since it was filled with smoke from the mob, it was like a scene out of a movie.... it was a cool experience.
Below is the very famous Felix the Cat neon sign. It was cool to be able to show Calvin such a landmark across the street from USC.
As the mob gathered in front of the The Shrine, more smoke bombs went off and mini photoshoots ensued. Basically people would find a spot and instaphotoshoot would happen.
A look at a portion of the mob below
@butch_locsin_from_la doing his thing with his smoke drum
We eventually ended up on the USC campus and were setting up for all sorts of shoots in the dorm area. USC students got curious and made the crowd even larger.
A sea of photographers caught the attention of the local news media. KTTV is what I think I saw.
With all of the commotion, there was a generous walk to the local fire station where people dropped toys for the less fortunate.
A few hours in, my feet started to give out since my Chuck Taylor's weren't supporting my feet well. Ended up using Uber for the very first time to get dropped off back to the car.
Thanks to the organizers for putting the event on. I had a chill time and it was great seeing what the photo community is capable of. I wish you guys many more successful events.

PDR positives
Very low cost compared to traditional body shops
Same day repairs—even while-you-wait service
No paint work, sanding, or traditional bodywork required
Original paint remains—helps retain vehicles looks and value
Body panels remain intact—maintaining structural integrity
PDR negatives
Do you need PDR insurance?
God, no!
Should you get your dings fixed using PDR techniques?
Hell, yes!
Let me explain…
Insuring against dings and dents does not make economic sense. Ding repairs average around $50 per ding. Some dings cost $99 to $149 to repair. Two to four dings can run $100 to $450, depending on the size of the dent. Insurance at this level is just not necessary. Moreover, it's a gamble you will lose.
To benefit from a $300, two-year plan, your vehicle would need to sustain multiple "PDR repairable" dings or dents. Despite your coverage, you may not even notice the dings, making a claim impossible. Also, despite the amazing PDR techniques, they can't fix everything, especially the chips and scratches that so frequently accompany a ding—should dings even occur.
Yes, get your dings fixed with PDR (if they're bothering you), but don't buy an insurance plan.
Protection plan economics 101
An article by Terence O'Hara in the Washington Post is a wonderful piece on the insanity of protection plans, and is applicable here. He writes:
The decision to buy an extended warranty…defies the recommendations of economists, consumer advocates and product quality experts, who all warn that the plans rarely benefit consumers and are nearly always a waste of money.
'[Extended warranties and protection plans] make no rational sense,' Harvard economist David Cutler said. 'The implied probability [of an issue] has to be substantially greater than the risk that you can't afford to fix it or replace it. If you're buying a $400 item, for the overwhelming number of consumers that level of spending is not a risk you need to insure under any circumstances.'
…extended warranties play upon a basic human trait to avoid loss, even if it means sacrificing a possible future gain. In this case, the gain is all the other things of value that a consumer could buy with the money that was spent on a warranty
Fix your dings
Fix your dings and dents (if you want) as they come—maybe every spring. Fixing dings keeps your car looking pristine, and increases its value. But don't bother with a protection plan. Save your money.
Hold off on that paint job
Quality paintless dent repair is often a great substitute for those considering full paint jobs. Whenever possible, it's best to keep the original paint. Good PDR combined with a professional detail can restore vehicles to show room condition for less than $500.
Go with the best
Since 1983 Dent Master has been pioneering PDR technology. Their PDR technicians undergo extensive and ongoing training. The rates are reasonable and the quality is excellent. Always request a master PDR technician, as there are various levels of abilities.
Check with local dealers
Dealerships in your area may offer Dent Master. Your vehicle does not have to be of the same make as the dealership. In other words, you can bring your Chevy to a Ford dealer for PDR work.
Do it yourself paintless dent repair is easy.
No it 's not. It requires training, skill, and experience. There are many who practice PDR techniques who crack or flake the paint, or who create ripples in the metal.
The PDR products sold on TV do the same thing.
No! Not even close. There's no good substitute for the art of PDR.
Scratch and dent repair are the same thing.
No. A ding is a small dent, which can often be repaired via paintless dent repair procedures. A scratch is an actual break in the surface of the clear coat or paint, requiring traditional body shop techniques, or touch up paint.
It's easy to learn how to repair dents on cars.
Maybe for some, but it's a skill that few master. Dent Master offers a great training program. The management and staff are top notch.

Great app that compares the petrol prices from nearby petrol station
Great app that compares the petrol prices from nearby petrol station
This is an interesting little app for anyone who's ever wondered about the planes flying overhead. Tapping into a network of home based receivers, the app places the location of commercial aircraft across the UK and parts of Europe on a map. As shown in the screenshots the app allows aircraft to be selected, displaying a range of information, most interestingly the route, airline, height and speed, and there's even the option to look up some stock photos of the aircraft.
While researching this app, I also came across a website that offers similar information through a web interface: http://www.radarvirtuel.com
Of limited practical use, perhaps, but I find this app a bit of fun when I see a plane passing over and like to imagine it full of holidaymakers or interesting folk bound for somewhere far flung or exotic. Simple things…
Opposite Rickmansworth Station resides the Long Island Exchange Hotel & Bar. Originally the Victoria Hotel, built in 1860, it grew with the railway and the businesses moving into the area, and has been Long Island since 1984 (going by the information on the menu at least).
Although just across the road from the station we have in the months we've lived in Ricky never felt inclined to visit Long Island. There are a few reasons for this. First, the exterior is white, drab and looks a touch run down. Compared with the many other restaurants and hostelries in town it didn't really stand out and sell itself. Second, we were all too aware of its status as bar & club, which can be particularly noisy and raucous on Friday and Saturday nights. Although we hadn't given it much thought, we'd assumed there was the hotel, the bar, and that was about it.
While down for the weekend, my parents decided to stay at hotel element of Long Island, being the nearest and only central Ricky accommodation we're aware of. The website doesn't look bad and the prices are reasonable. I visited them there one evening and was taken aback to discover a large, modern and rather pleasant restaurant area. Doubling up as the breakfast area for the hotel, the restaurant is open from midday until 10pm. The layout is modern, with a mix of wooden chairs and comfortable semi-circular padded seats. If anything, it's a little reminiscent of some coffee houses.
I was entertaining my parents this weekend and having given them a book of local walks they opted for a circular walk of the countryside from Heronsgate. This was a good choice as we'd not been to Heronsgate before and I was keen to see what was there. Google maps seem to indicate many large houses with swimming pools, whereas Beerintheevening highlights a CAMRA pub.
We parked on the road near the two pubs and headed on a walk, which due to some slightly off navigation took us past a farm with some attractive old buildings.

Benefits of Joining NSPRAA
Why should I pay dues to the National Alumni Association if I can participate in my company alumni association or area chapter?
The mission of NSPRAA is to support all Pershing Rifles companies at the undergraduate level, and to support the development of all alumni activities. The stronger we are as a national alumni organization, the more we can directly contribute to the development of future military leaders. Active companies of the National Society of Pershing Rifles do not enjoy the same level of support that once existed from ROTC. Many times, companies struggle to survive because they do not have the resources or alumni support that is needed. Also, an engaged national alumni association can make great strides in promoting and spreading goodwill of the organization in a way that one cannot possible do as an undergrad.
By paying dues to NSPRAA, you are directly contributing to the development of future military and civilian leaders. For only $60.00 a year, you can make a difference, and receive the extensive benefits listed below:

The Way out of Numbness into Feeling Alive!/
I've been thinking a lot about how to bring more peace, joy and contentment into my life. Learning how to experience more fulfillment and connection to others too.
These are helpful thoughts to have right?
And I keep finding that connecting to myself FIRST is key. Also, finding ways to express myself, because this confidence in self expression IS what makes me feel alive.
This is not just creative expression, though that is super important for me! It is expressing my thoughts, feelings, desires...the good, the bad, the ugly.
For trying to hold onto the good without walking through the pain leads us into Spiritual bypass land, another detour into numbness that can often feel ungrounded, flighty, and fleeting .
For many, many years of my life I felt numb, disconnected and empty inside. Of course you wouldn't know it on the outside. I appeared to be high functioning, always with a smile on and successful.
Yet something felt terribly wrong. Not just something, many things actually. And I was literally dying inside. Like a flower wilted from lack of water and sunlight.
My joy was extinguished and what would appear like happiness would actually be excitement. This would send me on a roller coaster, crashing into disappointment, hopelessness, fear and shame when I would come down from that adrenaline.
Maybe you can relate to some or even all of this?
I didn't know what was "wrong" with me. I kept trying to figure it out. I kept trying to fix it on the outside.
Little did I know I was being led to discovering what was ailing me, but it felt like it took forever!
I begun to find out there was actually nothing wrong with me. Everything happening inside of me and the lack of feeling was just because I had never expressed my feelings before. I had kept them stuffed down for years.
And because of this my light had been snuffed out.
Or atleast it appeared to be.
I believe and have experienced that our light is never truly gone. It is just covered by layers (or parts) that served to protect us through unhealed loss and intense emotions.
What was I experiencing? It couldn't have come out of nowhere. And it didn't. But that's a story (many stories) for another time.
However, what I now know is twhat I was experiencing and what I still experience is Complicated PTSD.
I will continue to share more about this as time goes on. Because I am finding that I must honor my Self, my story and my healing journey in all areas of my life.
In addition, my main takeaway for today is that NO MATTER where you are at, what you are FEELING, and what you have been through, YOUR LIGHT is inside you right now.
And with willingness, patience, and a small sliver of an opening to ask for help, you will find that light will keep shining brighter.
It's not going to be easy despite the fact that the steps are simple.
Yet is is fully possible, 100% possible...to come alive.
To reignite yourself.
To unleash the fire and passion that makes you UNIQUE and who you are.
If I can experience it, there is no doubt in my mind, that it is possible for you too.

Sussex and Brighton Universities' £1bn boost to the UK economy
Sussex and Brighton universities inject more than £1b into the UK economy and most is spent in Brighton and Hove and the South East, a new report released today shows.
The study, the first ever to look at the economic impact of individual universities, showed the two institutions spent £1.072bn and the bulk, 967m, was spent in the city and the South East. It also supported 12,000 jobs, the majority of them in the city.
The research, carried out by independent analysts, was commissioned by the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex and detailed for the first time how the universities have grown. The report showed they now constituted one of the largest industries in the region and confirmed the importance of higher education and university presence to the local economy.
Researchers studied the academic year ending 2009 when the two institutions had a combined student population of more than 32,700 and a total staff of 4,231. The numbers have subsequently grown, along with the universities' facilities.
Both have ongoing major building programmes, creating employment and boosting spending in and outside the universities: Sussex is in the middle of a £100m campus development programme which includes new research, teaching, and residential buildings, while at Brighton there is a major revamp of its accommodation facilities, a new sports hall and two new £20m-plus education and science buildings.
The universities also jointly run one of the most successful medical schools in the UK, the Brighton and Sussex Medical School, which attracts students from all over the world.
The study said universities clearly were important for the educational opportunities they provide but were also vitally important to their regions, as large businesses.
Professor Michael Farthing, Vice-Chancellor at Sussex, welcomed the report. He said: "Research expenditure at both universities has grown over the past few years, leading to the employment of enormously skilled and talented individuals and the promise of substantial future economic impact as much of the research will be commercialised."
Professor Julian Crampton, Vice-Chancellor at Brighton, said: "In these economically challenging times it is crucial to show how important universities are, both nationally and locally.
"Their impact is considerable. Student spending alone is significant and we are seeing a growing number of international students coming here, while the number of visitors attracted to the city because of the student population is also increasing.
"All this has a positive impact on local businesses and services."
Both universities this year have received record numbers of applications and the report stated how universities were "increasingly recognised as a core part of the national and regional economic infrastructure, generating employment and output, attracting export earnings and contributing to the Gross Domestic Product."
It found:
•· Both universities undertake activities and businesses for public and private sector clients and 32 per cent of revenue during the year came from the private sector and from overseas income.
- The combined export earnings alone amounted to £32m.
- The universities provided 4,231 fulltime equivalent jobs making them among the biggest employers in Brighton and Hove,
- Students spent money on accommodation, food, clothing, entertainment, travel and consumer goods and services, and generated a total of £151m of output.
The report was written by independent academic analysts. The same authors were responsible for the recent University of Strathclyde report showing the economic impact of all universities on the UK economy was £59b.
The new report shows Brighton and Hove, one of the UK's smaller cities, was responsible for more than 1/59th of that total.
It said that, overall, the two universities' activities generated over £1b of output and over 12,000 jobs in the UK. The majority of output (£967m) and jobs generated (around 11,328) were in the South East region. It concluded that they were now two of the largest employers in Brighton and Hove.
"In summary, this study of the two universities has shown them to make a substantial contribution to the economy of the South East and to be of core economic importance to the Brighton and Hove area."

PestXpert Spider Blast Eliminator Contact Spray
PestXpert Spider Blast Eliminator is ultimate spider control products, designed with arachnaphobes in mind! No need to get close to those scary, eight legged fiends - with the unique 5 nozzle accuator, the powerful spray allows you to spray from a distance. If the spiders are hiding in cracks and crevices there's no escape either as the Spider Blast Eliminator can penetrate deep into hiding places. At last you can sleep easy at night!
PestXpert Spider Blast is also effective on other crawling insects such as cockroaches, ants, slaters and millipedes which also hide in cracks and crevices.
To learn more about spiders, visit our spider page
Pestxpert tip: Carry out a complete exterior spray with PestXpert Pro Spray Outdoor Perimeter at the start of the season to prevent spider numbers building up. Use PestXpert spider blast to target the occasional home invader and spider hiding places.
Professional formulation
Triple action formulation is designed for all round spider control...
- Dual insecticides for rapid kill on direct spray
- Up to 3 month control when when sprayed on surfaces
- Prevents web building
Of course its powerful spray can blast into cracks and crevices where spiders often hide.
Professional Packaging
- Unique 5 nozzle accuator for rapid coating of webs, cracks and crevices
- Pro-Trigger makes spraying safe and easy...
- Easy to target spider hiding places
- Less chance of accidental skin contact
- Safety catch to prevent accidental spraying
- Large 400g size for DIY use
How to use PestXpert Spider Blast
Direct kill: Hold can upright and spray it toward spider from a distance of 15-20cm
Spider hiding places: Spray areas where you have seen spiders hiding or potential hiding places such as around windows and doors, window sills, eaves, around garbage bins, along fences, in sheds
Insect entry points: To prevent spiders and other insects entering the house, spray all entry points and cracks and crevices including doors and window surrounds, vents and weep holes
When sprayed onto surfaces Spider blast can provide continuous protection for around 3 months. It may be shorter or longer depending on the amount of rain and sun the surface receives. If spiders start to increase again, it probably indicates it's time for a re-treatment.
Be aware: Avoid using on plastic surfaces or try on a small, inconspicuous area first and assess for suitability before spraying a wider area.
Safety tips
The PestXpert range has been specifically designed for use around homes, where there will be children and pets present. When used in accordance with the label, the products can be applied safely with minimal impact on the environment (see point 4 below). In fact, the professional quality packaging allows the products to be applied more safely that standard consumer products, as they can be applied more accurately with less chance of accidental contact with the insecticide.
Nevertheless, safety should always be the number one priority and so before carrying out any pesticide treatment follow the following key steps
- Read the label. Make sure you understand application instructions and safety information.
- Wear appropriate safety clothing. If you are intending to do a lot of spraying, it's a good idea to wear goggles and mask, especially if spraying above head height. Wash hands, arms and face after use.
- Prepare the treatment area. Make sure all foods, food surfaces, cutlery, crockery and glasses are covered. The area to be treated should be clear of obstacles.
- Electrical safety. As Spider Blast has a high level of propellant to provide its power, ensure all sources of ignition are turned off / extinguished before spraying.
- Fish and bee alert. Although PestXpert products are designed to have minimal impact on the environment, they will kill bees (as they are insects) and fish are also very sensitive to the insecticides used in PestXpert (and most other consumer products). To minimise bee deaths, avoid spraying flowers. To protect fish, cover fish tanks and ponds and avoid spraying or disposing of product into waterways.
- Keep pets and children clear during application and until the treatment is dried
First Aid
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 13 11 26; New Zealand 0800 764 766

Dude, Where Are My Reproductive Rights?
Dudely subculture -- the smart-funny-cool-ironic hybrid that defines our age and has raised effective challenges to everything from Iraq war to the surveillance state -- has been too silent when it comes to the rights of women that have been so viciously been eroded in the past eight years.
Last weekend, in Boston for the Women, Action and the Media conference, I met a lot of brilliant women, activists and journalists alike, and left thoroughly inspired by their amazing work.
But after the dust cleared, the one image I couldn't shake from my mind was a new perspective I got on a man, a man that I will always have a deep, abiding affection for, a man with whom I spend nearly every night.
I'm speaking, of course, of Jon Stewart.
Jon came up during a panel on reproductive justice featuring Rewireers Emily Douglas, Amanda Marcotte, and Cristina Page along with Pro-Choice Public Education Project executive director Aimee Thorne-Thomsen. During the question and answer session, Cristina mentioned that a Daily Show staffer had dismissed the idea of her appearing on the show to promote her book, "How the Pro-Choice Movement Saved America." The reason? The topic was "too serious." And yet, Page pointed out, Stewart constantly has guests who come on to talk about Iraq, which is as serious as it gets. But somehow the Daily Show writers have managed to find ways to mix humor with biting analysis in their discussion of the war.

The actual answer is not that abortion is too "serious," but it's that it's a serious women's issue, and is therefore marginalized by our misogynist society. Reproductive justice as movement is wrapped up with female bodies and female sexuality, and poses a challenge to class and race privilege. None of these concepts have been adequately absorbed by the hip, progressive movement of which Stewart is a figurehead.
As a friend said to me after the panel, the problem women's advocates face in trying to conquer popular media is that "sexism is cool."
After her comment, I thought about Stewart's guests, the people who show up at the end of each show hawking a newly-released hardcover book. There's no question that most of them are men, a lot of them are men who write "serious" books about war, the economy and politics. And the show's (wonderful) cast is also mostly male — Samantha Bee alone has been holding it down for her gender since I started watching the show in the 2004 election.
The show, I realized, is kind of a frat-house, albeit an incisive, witty, and progressive one.
But The Daily Show isn't the only problem — it's just a symptom of a larger cultural illness. When Stewart's counterpart Stephen Colbert, who is more feminist-friendly than most men on TV, introduced his writers after the strike, even they were predominantly male. The fact is that these dudes, with their scraggly hair and sneakers, pen hilarious — and sometimes painfully cutting — critique of every reactionary aspect of our society, and that includes anti-feminists. Compared to the staffs at shows like Letterman and Leno, I'm guessing Colbert's writers' eyes are less likely to glaze over when they hear "abortion" or "reproductive rights." But it would be nice for there to be a few more women among their ranks, whose perspective might give advocating for our issues, not just making fun of those who seek to undermine them, a position of centrality within the broader progressive conversation.
The dudely subculture — the smart-funny-cool-ironic hybrid that defines our age and has raised effective challenges to everything from Iraq war to onscreen taboos to the surveillance state — has been too silent when it comes to the rights of women that have been so viciously been eroded in the past eight years (and incidentally, silent about the very real connection between the two tragedies).
Bill Maher offers unbelievably insightful, BS-free comments about foreign policy, and the best discourse on TV, but gets the heebie-jeebies from public breastfeeding, and that's just the tip of his women-bashing iceberg.
Meanwhile on the less political side of things, Judd Apatow, comedy's boy wonder and the smartest person in Hollywood (says Entertainment Weekly), is lauded for a movie that ends with the male character affirming that not wearing a condom was the best thing he ever did. Apatow has edged film forward by showing everything from a crowning baby to full-frontal male nudity, but as Katherine Heigl noted (and got slammed for), he managed to challenge these conventions while setting back the status of women onscreen.
"Dude" culture is not just a male thing — just spend a couple of day reading Slate's the XX factor to get an idea of how some women from a fairly liberal, funny and intellectual background, think advocating for women's rights too strongly is decidedly uncool.
The problem for those of us who want to make women's lives better — through sex education, contraception, health care and yes, safe legal abortion — is that we're caught in a world that devalues us as people, and therefore devalues our legitimate concerns and even our health crises.
But the hope that we have is in the burgeoning reproductive justice framework. In its emphasis on all women's bodily autonomy, on the entire spectrum from sex-ed to contraception to children's health care, it gives us a chance to critique the right-wing's hypocrisy. The hypocrisy of claiming to love children but denying them health care, of claiming to hate abortion refusing to take realistic, practical steps to prevent it. Slowly, our culture is waking up to this absurdity, and as Amanda said at the panel, this is our moment to seize.
We have to attack using a two-pronged fork. By directly challenging cultural misogyny in mainstream popular media, we are paving the way for our legal and social rights. And by using the powerfully holistic framework of reproductive justice to advocate loudly for those rights, we can enable our allies — like Stephen Colbert — to ramp up coverage of "women's" issues without causing any viewers to change the channel.

'The Scientific Revolution' was by no means a swift and radical change in thoughts pertaining to science. The name applies to a period lasting from the end of the Renaissance and continued through the 18th Century. The later period was referred to as 'The Enlightenment'.
Although the exact dates are in dispute, there were many notable figures that contributed to it. Among these were Galen, Ptolemy, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. The work contributed to it was no single science, but science as a whole. It included mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, medicine, and chemistry. From the theories expressed by those great men, mankind's knowledge of science was born and the world was seen in a revolutionary new view. Religion, superstition, and fear were replaced by reason and knowledge.
Although many religious questions were raised by these new theories, men like Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo, Bacon, Descartes, Newton, and Leibniz remained true to their faith. Facing possible excommunication, and worse, they also remained firm on their scientific beliefs. It was because of their findings that we shed the belief that the Earth was the Center of The Universe and the makeup of its substance was a radical change from what was originally believed. The uneducated peasants, who firmly believed that the stars and the moon up above were the Heavens, now had to accept that their material was comprised of the same material as found on the earth. This was not readily believed as superstition and religion were against it. The Revolution became the catalyst for change for the social, religious, and cultures of the period and was fought tooth and nail by the Church and others. Most of the hierarchy of the time supported superstitious beliefs by the uneducated lower class to keep their own hold on them. New beliefs, they feared, would create questions about those in control.
These steadfast beliefs generated by the founders of The Scientific Revolution generated new research and theories in many other fields such as mathematics. New thoughts were given to the physical make-up of the human bodies, chemistry, and the human thought process as well. Also, new endeavors such as the laws of physics and motion, and modern philosophy were founded . None of these areas would ever have come about without the theories set forth by this period's founding fathers. Today's science, and our way of life, owe much to their early efforts.

Why do books make us laugh? Well, click on over to Huffington Post for all the details. What it boils down to is this:
"Why do we laugh just by looking at some ink on a page? Because in our imaginations we recreate the story, parts of us think it's real, and we react to benign violations just like we do in real life. You can read a frightening story, or an adventure story, from the safety of your living room: it's the pleasure of something that feels scary but is actually safe."-Huffington PostWhat was the last novel that made you laugh out loud? Mine was one of the many essays found in the David Sadaris Collection.

This morning on Fox News, Neil Cavuto pointed out the disconnect between Hurricane Sandy victims and politicians. People heavily affected by the storm are still without power, food, clothing and feel they aren't being helped in the ongoing crisis. Politicians however have been more than willing to praise FEMA for their efforts, they've touted the "good work" FEMA is doing to help people in front of the TV cameras and have said things are running smoothly.
Here's the situation:
-Millions of people still do not have power
-People living on Staten Island feel they were completely forgotten
-There are gas shortages due to a lack of power
-People in New York are dumpster diving for food
Does that sound like "things are going smoothly" and "only good things have been said about FEMA" to you?

Tournament Fishing Boat
The work we do with our Contender 28-T is incredibly demanding on the vessel. In the past we destroyed the boats we used… both when we are working, and when boats are tied up to the ship in the open ocean.
That's just not the case with the Contender. No matter what challenge or conditions we faced, the Contender has endured. She's built like a tank and performs flawlessly in any sea condition.
Everything has to work right and be perfectly in place for us to handle 3,000-5,000lb. sharks safely for both the sharks and the crew. It comes down to detail and craftsmanship – Contender has delivered that for us, that's why we rely on them. – Chris Fischer
The Great White Shark is the Ocean's apex predator. It is also the prey for OCEARCH's tag and release program lead by Chris Fischer & Capt. Brett McBride. Team OCEARCH has used a Contender 28T to catch these formidable fish all over the world in a variety of challenging conditions. The 28T is a proven fish catching machine used for the world's most notorious sharks, and every other species in the sea. The maneuverability, fish-ability, and reliability make a Contender a natural choice for fisherman even if your target is a not as ambitious as Jaws.
- Beam: 8′ 10″
- Draft: 20″
- Weight: 4,700lbs
- Fuel: 180 gals.
- Deadrise: 24.5 degrees
- Max HP: 600 HP
Every Contender is custom. If you're fishing sharks in California, or sailfish in south Florida, your target species dictates your needs. Don't take a bass boat to a shark fight. Rig your boat to catch your fish with custom outriggers, downriggers, rod holders, electric reel outlets and more to build the fishing machine you've always hoped for.
Just because the wind is blowing, doesn't mean you have to sleep in on Saturday like everyone else. The boat will handle it. You can't catch them from the couch. Get out there, and get in the game… with fishability, reliability, and attention to detail on your side. You're always in the game with a Contender.
Hull & Deck
- Hand-Laid Fiberglass Throughout High Tech Construction Using
- Multi-Directional Fabric & Foam Cored Glass Stringer System
- Foam Floatation
- Integrated Dive Platform, Full Transom & Transom Door
- Self-Bailing Cockpit
- Non-Skid Cockpit Sole & Deck
- Heavy Duty Rub Rail
- Choice of Hull & Deck Gelcoat Colors
- Hand-Painted Boot & Pin Stripe
Unlike some mass production boat builders, we at Contender pride ourselves on keeping this experience personal. Your Contender is made for you, with you in mind. You will team up with the finest craftsmen in a hands-on boat building process. You choose whether to customize each component of the vessel' from the hull size and power option to the electronics package, livewell rigging, down to the type of stitching on your upholstery, and more.
Good fisherman want to get there. Great fisherman want to get there fast, and stay dry. Equipped with 24.5 deadrise hull, and years of fishing knowledge embodied, the 28T will get you there fast with up to 600 HP strapped to the back of your rig.
Competition has always fueled innovation at Contender Boats. A culture of very competitive Captains creates a craving for the best in class options on every boat. "Performance through Innovation" means Contender is constantly ahead of the pack in creating a boat that is higher quality, more reliable, and more fishable then the competition. We're not just a competitor…
…a Contender.
Biscayne Bay is the perfect testing grounds for the perfect Bay Boat. The power to go offshore, with the flexibility of staying in the bay. Check out the 25′ Bay and other Bay Boat Options!
Tournament fishermen know that mother nature doesn't plan for fishing tournaments. Those big wind days with big money on the line call for big boats that can handle tournament conditions.
If there's one thing we've proven, it's this: you don't have to be around a long time to be considered a legend. Sport series Contender boats in a variety of sizes.

Troop C Barracks in Sidney Honors Captain Daniel Fox!
What a surprise!
Actually, I don't think I have ever been inside the NYS Trooper's barracks in Sidney before, but I had to go yesterday and what a surprise I found.
The lobby is filled with exhibits, photos, letters and memorabilia from the legendary Captain Dan Fox and his Spotted Horse Troop. He organized a troop of show ponies (Pintos) which performed their remarkable precision maneuvers from coast to coast. He was so legendary that he actually endorsed products back in the day ("All of my troopers drive Lincoln automobiles").
I was there for an hour examining all of this great stuff. Thanks to First Sargent Chad Buckley for the narration. 2017 is the 100th anniversary of the NYS Troopers, and if you have any old historical items you would like to share just contact Chad at Troop C. New stuff is coming in all the time (how about the original anvil they used to make horseshoes for the Spotted Horse ponies? Yes!!).
I don't know if you have ever been to see the exhibit but it is definitely open to the public and definitely worth a look. Take a look at my photos from my visit;

Need help choosing colors? Try a "Design Plan in a Can"
When I visit newly remodeled homes, the owners often name their contractor, their architect, their window and door suppler, among others. They also name someone I wouldn't think to hire: the person who helped choose the colors.
I'm an intuitive color-picker, going with what feels right at the time.
But if I did a massive remodel and had to choose colors, all at the same time, for the paints, stains, faux finishes, carpeting, tile/grout, countertops, cabinets, wood or laminate flooring, fabrics, wall coverings . . . well I might need some help, as well.
To make this easier, I found a cool product at the Builder's Show in Orlando: Design Plan in a Can.
Color specialist Edith Snell has grouped dozens of coordinated samples together for a complete palette in one package, which just happens to be a can. There are over 70 palettes to choose from with samples and finishes for each of the needs listed above. Also included is a color recommendations guide with tips on where to use each product, and where to get these fabrics, paints and products.
And, the color groupings have fun names. In the Arts and Crafts collection, for instance, you have your choice of Frank Lloyd Left, Less is Morris and Stickley & Stones.
Of the latter, Edith writes, "This authentic color vignette boasts bold and rich colors of ebony, oregano and warm ginger. The palette is accented by fabulous Arts & Crafts heavy linen fabrics and cottons."
Each can costs $100, and could make a nice housewarming gift.

Mixed Media Sandals: 3 Ways
Necklace / Francesca's
Shirt / Kohl's
Pants / Loft
Take a cue from the diversity of the mixed textures within the sandals and pair them with a bold printed pant, peplum blouse, and pink statement necklace to create a look that's feminine, yet modern.
Necklace / Loft
Cardigan / TJ Maxx
Dress / Catherine Malandrino
For a more dressed up look, pair these sandals with a body-con dress, chunky cardigan, and long pendant necklace, so you're ready for any summer night event.
Top / Express
Cuff / Express
Pants / Rebecca Minkoff
An edgier take on these sandals can be created when adding them to a pair of joggers, sequin top, and gold cuff. Rock this look and all of these outfits with confidence and class!

First I should label my expectations here. I'm not a big fan of dynamic typing to begin with, and I'd at least like to document what type each parameter all of the code I intend to be reusable expects, even if those restrictions aren't enforced at compile time. Both C and Java require specifying types for every parameter, and Java includes its Javadoc mechanism for labeling the parameters with their intended purpose and function. That's all I really want: feed in a bit of source code that includes some markup for what all the parameters mean, along with general text commentary; get HTML/PDF output that documents the API presented by that code.
One thing I've found very disappointing about Python is that that its development community seems to actively reject the idea of good parameter documentation directly in the source code. The closest thing I've seen is the PEP for Function Annotations, which are so barebones I wouldn't consider them a help even if they were more mainstream (they're not yet). All we really get for in-code documentation are the Docstring Conventions and pydoc, which don't provide any standard way to label parameters in a way more complicated browsing or analysis tools can utilize.
The first tool I considered for this purpose is Epydoc. This understands Javadoc formatted docstring and ReST, which are two standards I already code documentation using. This includes its own somewhat odd variable docstring syntax, which I didn't find very useful. A similar tool that knows much more about subclassing is pydoctor, whose introduction mentions a bunch of other projects in this area neither I nor them were impressed by.
Another Python specific tool here is pythondoc. My first problem with that project are that it seems kind of dead. Ultimately, my bigger concern is that I'd like to use Python docstrings as much as possible, just with additional markup inside them. pythondoc seems to prefer # formatted comments which aren't really acceptable here.
I keep circling back to Javadoc markup as the only reasonable one here. Ultimately, if I'm using Javadoc format, with nothing Python specific, I have to ask myself why I should adopt a one-off tool such as Epydoc, if instead I can get one that supports the other languages I use and provides a wider feature set. To see the perils of that approach, check out the train wreck answer to the FAQ how to print Javadoc to PDF. What a disaster. To work around that Javadoc limitation, I'd already started moving toward using Doxygen, which I know works great on the C code I browse most via the PostgreSQL code base. (Arguing the merits of doxygen vs. javadoc just in a Java context is a popular topic; see Javadoc or Doxygen? and Doxygen Versus Javadoc for two examples)
A quick check of the full Comparison of documentation generators page didn't give other tools that looked like they would help here. At this point I started to settle on a tentative approach that would unify my work with one tool to use: doxygen + Javadoc formatted parameters in a docstring I could live with. One problem: if you use the Python standard docstring approach, doxygen's Python support won't allow any special commands in there. That's pretty much useless.
Luckily I'm not the first person to make that leap: doxypy is a filter that takes regular Python code with the usual docstring format in, producing an intermediate file in the format doxygen wants to work with. But where's the examples of how it works to get people started?
Luckily, like all good software the authors eat their own dogfood, and the filter itself is a Python program documented so that doxypy can process it. Here's a simple example of a method call from inside it:
def makeTransition(self, input):
""" Makes a transition based on the given input.
@param input input to parse by the FSM
In this case FSM means "finite-state machine" and not my deity of choice.
Something this simple was all I was looking for, and the only open point here is that Javadoc format presumes one can divine the type from the declaration; that's not so clear here.

Banking Professional Body
115 Years of history in the field of banking in South Africa
SAQA has awarded the "Professional Body of the Banking Industry" to the IOBSA**, the recognition under the NQF Act no. 67 of 2008 – 19 March 2013
(** 2nd Oldest Institute in the World)
The IOBSA has a respectable history as the second oldest Institute of Banking in the world and was established in 1904. The Institute has a history and relationship with the banking and financial services sector spanning 110 years.
The constitution states (1999:3) "Its main objective has been the promotion of efficiency through education and continuing professional development in the banking industry in general and of its members in particular. It sought to do this by the dissemination of knowledge on the theory and practice of banking and by conducting examinations and other educational activities."
The role of the IOBSA has changed over the years. Initially it was accredited as a training provider by the BankSETA to deliver banking specific qualifications. This status expired in 2011 and has not been renewed. In 2012, after the appointment of a new Board of Directors, application was made to SAQA to register the IOBSA as the Professional Body for the sector.
This status was awarded in March 2013 which means the IOBSA's role has now significantly changed. It will still play a critical role in the development of industry specific qualifications (Quality Council for Trades and Occupations – QCTO) as well as being appointed as an Assessment Quality Partner (AQP) by the sector for the Bank Worker Learnership. This Learnership will shortly go through a review process and further information will follow thereafter.
The Institute of Bankers in South Africa is a member-based professional body that aims to service the professional needs of people within the banking and broader financial services industry. This includes offering of professional designations, the monitoring of a code of professional conduct and the delivery of carefully designed and monitored CPD programmes. CPD is a requirement for FAIS compliance.

8 years!! That's how long I have known you! That's how long we have been together, encouraging each other, enjoying each other, helping each other forget our difficulties, enabling the best versions of each other, forging an indestructible glorious path, in a world of our own, where only you and I exist! I call it the golden path, because it's been the best years of my life. Years where I have come to believe in you completely, I leaned on you to help me forget the sometimes cruel realities in life, and you go on to achieving the impossible. You were my very own William Worsworth's daffodils; my Spring in summer. I basked in your glory, applauding, shedding tears of happiness and telling the person next to me, you see that? In a way I am responsible for that! When you took your victory lap it felt like victory for me. I call it the golden path because it's been as bright as the summer sunshine, where we came alive, blossomed in the electrifying energy and never-say-die spirit I find in you and bear the sweet fruit of success together. And was it sweet! What I always carry in my heart are the excitement of being with you, the cheering, the fun, the partying and the glory.
But I guess the best of times have to end someday. As it does, I am left feeling bereft.. Did it have to so soon? Why did it have to end at all? For always being by your side did I deserve it? Am I prepared for it? I was kind of hoping it'd last, well, a lifetime. That's how perfect it felt! Can I hope for a comeback? When I see you with someone else, I can't help but feel hopeless. But I shall live in hope. That's all I have to cling on to. CSK, I hope you come back soon. Ipl will never be the same without you.
