Babies and toddlers still using prams, strollers, car seats, carriers & slings
- Specially designed for wear in prams and baby carriers
- Softly reinforced felt brim folds gently under neck whilst laying in pram
- Rated UPF50+ Excellent Protection
- Tested in accordance with Australia & New Zealand Standards 4399

Note: Chin strap can easily be removed if required without compromising the quality of the hat – you just need scissors!
Size Advice and Brim Depth
One fact you can be sure of - no two heads are the same! ALWAYS measure your child's head before purchasing to ensure getting the accurate size.
Step 1: Distract the child with a toy or food (so they don't try and help you!).
Step 2: Use a measuring tape to take measurement. Otherwise use a ribbon to take the size then use a ruler to find the measurement.
Step 3: Purchase the size closest to your childs measurement. Our hats are very stretchy and will grow up to 4cm.
For Example: The child measures 41cms, you will need the 42cm size that will stretch another 4cms up to 46cms - giving plenty of future wear. Purchasing the next size up would be too large and block the childs vision.

Response to the 2016 GAO Audit and Investigation on NRC and Agreement State Materials Licensing
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a report on July 15, 2016, on their investigation to test the NRC and some Agreement States on the process of issuing licenses for possession and use of radioactive materials.
In October 2015, GAO notified NRC staff that it had conducted an undercover investigation focused on improvements made since 2007 and whether they address vulnerabilities identified in the 2007 GAO investigation. The undercover investigation was part of a longer term audit on NRC and Agreement State materials licensing that was completed in May 2016.
During the first half of 2015, GAO submitted three separate applications, each with different company names and different key staff. Applications were submitted to an NRC Regional Office and two Agreement States seeking the authority to possess a single 16 curie Americium 241/Beryllium (AmBe) source for use in well logging.
Unlike in 2007, GAO rented storefronts/warehouses to demonstrate their legitimacy to the regulator during the 2015 pre-licensing visits.
In May 2015, the NRC Regional Office and one of the Agreement States visited the GAO facility in their jurisdictions. Based on those site visits, the NRC and the Agreement State found inadequate safety facilities. Both also requested additional information on the license applications, which were found incomplete. Ultimately they did not provide GAO a radioactive materials license.
In August 2015, the second Agreement State used essentially the same guidance as the other two regulators to conduct a site visit. This Agreement State allows the reviewer to hand deliver the license at the end of the site visit, which the reviewer did. A subsequent root cause analysis conducted by this Agreement State determined that the reviewer failed to follow all of the State's licensing procedures.
GAO placed an order to one manufacturer/distributor (M&D) for a 16 curie AmBe source using the fake company name and their Agreement State license. GAO then altered the license to change the manufacturer and model number of the source and placed a second order with another M&D. Both M&Ds provided quotes and were ready to deliver. In the language of radioactive materials categories, the fake GAO company had a valid license for a Category 3 quantity, but used a modified copy of that license to order two Category 3 quantities that, when combined, would have been a Category 2 quantity. The sources were not actually purchased or shipped; however, GAO demonstrated the capability to obtain 32 curies of AmBe, an aggregated category 2 quantity of material.
It is important to note that the public's safety was never at risk because GAO never actually obtained radioactive material.
After the NRC learned of the GAO investigation in October 2015, the NRC and Agreement States took a number of immediate steps including:
- The NRC notified the two Agreement States subject to the GAO investigation, the Organization of Agreement States NRC Regional Offices and the remaining 35 Agreement States.
- The Agreement State that issued the license revoked the license and notified the vendors of revoked license.
- NRC staff issued a non-public letter to all Agreement States reminding them to follow pre-licensing guidance and suspend the presumption during the licensing process that applicants are acting in good faith.
- The NRC reviewed its materials training program to ensure the curriculum emphasizes pre-licensing guidance. Additional content emphasizing importance of pre-licensing guidance was added to the existing training module for our licensing and inspection training courses.
- The NRC conducted training webinars for Agreement States and NRC staff on pre-licensing guidance and site visits on November 18, December 8 and December 15, 2015.
- The Agreement State that issued the illegitimate license performed a self-assessment and root cause analysis of their actions in association with the GAO application.
- NRC Regions and other Agreement States performed self-assessments of how they implement the pre-licensing guidance.
The NRC and Agreement States also formed joint working groups to see what additional lessons can be gathered from the GAO operation. These groups met throughout 2016 and completed their tasks. Among their tasks, the groups reviewed the pre-licensing guidance, evaluated new strategies to improve license verification and transfer procedures for the quantity and type of material involved in the GAO investigation and considered GAO's specific recommendations. The working groups' evaluations and recommendations were incorporated into the NRC's re-evaluation of Category 3 source security and accountability.
The NRC will continue to focus on ensuring that licensing procedures used by the NRC and Agreement States adequately verify the identities of applicants for licenses, that applicants have a legitimate need to possess and use radioactive materials, and that licensed activities will be conducted in a manner that ensures adequate protection of the health and safety of public and security of the radioactive material. Based on recent and ongoing reviews, we believe current NRC regulations for licensing radioactive sources remain adequate, consistent with the risks they pose. Nonetheless, the NRC is doing what it can to see what lessons from the GAO investigation can be applied to strengthen radioactive materials licensing.
On this page:
Categories of Radioactive Materials
Security requirements depend on potential risks posed by the quantity of a material. The international community has a list of materials that, if not safely managed or securely protected, are thought to pose the greatest threat. Specific quantities of those materials are in one of five categories reflecting the risk the material would pose to someone who removes a source from its shielding and holds it or keeps it nearby. The NRC and the Agreement States have security requirements for all radioactive material, but have additional detailed requirements for the security of Category 1 and 2 materials.
- Category 1: permanent injury likely after a few minutes, could be fatal within an hour
- Category 2: permanent injury possible after minutes to hours, possibly fatal within hours to days
- Category 3: permanent injury possible after several hours, unlikely to be fatal after days to weeks
- Categories 4 and 5: not likely to cause permanent injury or fatality.
What the GAO recommended:
- Add Category 3 sources to the NRC's electronic system for managing information on sources
- Require anyone transferring a Category 3 source to confirm with the regulator or with the NRC's electronic information management system that the purchaser has a valid license to receive it
- Consider requiring an onsite security review for all applicants for Category 3 licenses that the regulator does not know

VOR: ERICSSON 4 LEG SIX DAY 7 QFB: received 17.04.09 1723 GMT
Heavy weather approaching Ericsson 4, on leg 6 of the Volvo Ocean Race, from Rio de Janeiro to Boston. Image copyright Guy Salter/Ericsson 4/Volvo Ocean Race.
by Tony Mutter (trimmer)
Well last night was one of those nights where everything that could happen did.
On the approach to Fernando about 20 miles out we got hit by a rain squall. It blew 31 knots up from 15. That was happy days for us, no problem. But the aftermath was what got the hearts racing. All of a sudden we were in 0 knots and watching Telefónica Black and Delta Lloyd come smoking up from behind. To make maters even worse it was only a short time later before we could see another two boats join the hungry pack.
So, just when we thought we had done alright, and had second place at the gate in the bag, the stress meter went off the scale. Lucky for us, the following pack of wolfs all slowed and we picked up the new breeze first.
We celebrated the points with some guys going to sleep after 14 hours of hard labour; some found something in a bottle that would warm the insides of a 2000 year old Egyptian mummy. Others had to stay on deck and keep the old girl rolling.
Well we are all now looking forward to arriving in Boston after being in some far out places.

Seymour Lipkin, a pianist and conductor widely admired in both roles for his acute, deliberately unflashy musicianship, died on Nov. 16 in Blue Hill, Me. He was 88.
His wife, Ellen Werner, confirmed his death.
Mr. Lipkin came to wide public attention in 1948 when, at 20, he won first prize in the Rachmaninoff Fund Piano Contest, a nationwide competition held in New York. He went on to play on the world's foremost recital stages and with the world's most eminent orchestras.
He interrupted that career for a life of conducting in the 1970s and '80s, returning to the piano in the '90s for a critically acclaimed second act. He was also a longtime faculty member of the Juilliard School in New York and the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.
As both pianist and conductor, reviewers agreed, Mr. Lipkin made music with a conspicuous absence of the dazzle, bathos and schmaltz that are the stock in trade of many instrumentalists.
"There is no blurring in Lipkin's approach," The Boston Globe wrote in 1996, reviewing a Beethoven recital. "The pianist plays with the structural clarity of an architect's drawing; the drama comes from the interplay of musical ideas, not from emotional displays."
Throughout his work, Mr. Lipkin was praised by critics for his keen sensitivity — a "moral responsibility," he called it — to the composer's intent; his sculptural finesse in shaping a musical line; and his vast knowledge of the musical literature. He was often described as a Beethoven specialist, but his pianistic compass ranged from the Baroque era to the present day.
Underpinning Mr. Lipkin's music-making was his intense sense of communion with the works he performed. That communion was often rooted in deeply personal dialogues he held with the composers — exchanges that required only Mr. Lipkin to be present.
In an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2012, he recounted one especially productive conversation:
Beethoven: Lipkin! Make a sforzando here! [A sforzando — the word is cognate with "force" — entails playing a note with particular emphasis, no paltry request on the composer's part.]
Lipkin: Ludwig, I don't feel like it!
Beethoven: Shut up and do what I tell you!
To his credit, and to the plaudits of critics, Mr. Lipkin generally did.
Seymour Austen Lipkin was born in Detroit on May 14, 1927. His heart's desire was to be a conductor, but he happened to labor under the onus of being a piano prodigy.
At 11 he moved to Philadelphia to attend the Curtis Institute, boarding with a local family. In 1947 he earned a bachelor's degree from Curtis, where his teachers included the renowned pianists Rudolf Serkin and Mieczyslaw Horszowski.
"I always wanted to be a conductor rather than a pianist, ever since I was a small boy," Mr. Lipkin told The New York Times in 1974. "But when I graduated, at about 20 or so, it wasn't yet the day of the wunderkind conductor."
After winning the Rachmaninoff competition, where he bested the 19-year-old Gary Graffman, he appeared as a soloist with the Boston Symphony and the New York Philharmonic, and as a recitalist at Town Hall in Manhattan.
Mr. Lipkin, who also studied conducting with Serge Koussevitzky at Tanglewood, served as an apprentice conductor to George Szell of the Cleveland Orchestra in the late 1940s. In the late '50s he was an assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein.
In 1958, at the suitably advanced age of 30, Mr. Lipkin made his conducting debut, leading the New York City Opera in Bernstein's "Trouble in Tahiti."
Reviewing the performance, The Times said, "It is not surprising that Mr. Lipkin displayed the utmost poise."
He was the music director of the Joffrey Ballet in the 1960s, and of the Long Island Symphony in the '60s and '70s, before returning to the piano.
At his death he was artistic director of the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival in Blue Hill, where he had a home. Mr. Lipkin, who also resided in Manhattan, taught over the years at the Manhattan School of Music, the New England Conservatory in Boston and Marymount College in Tarrytown, N.Y.
Mr. Lipkin's first marriage, to Catherine Bing, ended in divorce. Besides Ms. Werner, whom he married in 2003, his survivors include a son, Jonathan, from his first marriage; three stepchildren, Daniel Walker, Benjamin Walker and Sarah Hodges; and five grandchildren and step-grandchildren.
His recordings as a pianist include a widely admired set of the complete Beethoven sonatas, the complete sonatas and other works of Schubert, and Bernstein's Symphony No. 2 ("The Age of Anxiety") for piano and orchestra, with the composer conducting.
Whether at the keyboard or on the podium, Mr. Lipkin's career path seemed almost foreordained, as he described it in a 2011 interview with The Juilliard Journal, a publication of the conservatory.
"I never considered anything else," he said. "There was never any question about it, or thought that I would be, say, an economist, God forbid."
He added, "It's probably very lucky for society that I didn't become an economist."

March for Our Lives - Rochesterby Patrick Doyle - Contributing Writer
On Saturday, March 24, students from all over Monroe County converged on Washington Square Park in downtown Rochester, New York. Some were driving their first cars to get there. Others were led by their parents while holding up signs larger than their own bodies. Others simply followed the familiar route from their own homes.
Although they came from a wide variety of backgrounds, the students who participated in the Rochester March for Our Lives protest all had the same goal: gun control now, more student activism in the future.
"I want young people to assume leadership roles, I want young people to be civically engaged, and I want young people to be taken seriously," said Dylan Holcomb, a Brighton High School senior who organized the protest.
From a stage in front of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, Holcomb addressed a crowd of 5,000 protestors. He was the first of many young speakers to stand in solidarity with a movement born out of the Parkland, Florida school shooting.
Every speaker talked of fear that they would be affected by the next mass shooting and of anger at what they saw as inaction from lawmakers. One student spoke from experience.
"We texted our families with shaky hands as the news came in that there was a shooting at one of our elementary schools," College at Brockport student Rebecca Oberstadt said.
Oberstadt was a high school student when her hometown, Sandy Hook, Connecticut, was upended with tragedy. She said she wasn't ashamed of what happened in her hometown, but she was ashamed that nothing was done in the intervening years to curb the persistent threat of school shootings. It was a message that resonated with the crowd.
"We shouldn't have to think that our lives are in danger daily when we go to school," Newark High School student Tatum Arnold said.
Arnold stood with a sign that said "Am I Next?" tucked under her arm. She said March for Our Lives was her first protest and she was motivated because she didn't want to be afraid to go to school.
She was one of many first-time protesters who turned their fears into action. Their fresh energy reverberated in the air throughout the rally. Each speaker was met with boisterous cheering and applause.
That energy didn't fade as protestors filed out of the park and into the streets for a brief march. They chanted "enough is enough," the movement's rallying cry.
It's a slogan that reflects how student protestors are fed up with what they see as an easily fixable problem.
"We've seen, time and time again, people abandon this issue," Allendale Columbia High School student Gabe Rosen said. "But now that it's fresh in our minds we can really take a stand."
Like many of the protestors, Rosen attended with a group of fellow students and parents. It was incredibly common to see large swaths of the same school colors marching together in the crowd. This may be the secret to this movement's strength: young people already operate in groups, but they are now bolstered by the community to organize.
This community support is, in a way, a continuation of Rochester's history as a destination for civil dissent. The city was home to abolitionist and orator, Frederick Douglass, and women's rights icon, Susan B. Anthony. Their names and actions are taught with reverence in the very schools the protesters now seek to make safer.
Having taken their lessons to heart, students are writing the next chapter in Rochester protest history. They met in the same park that has been used as the city's communal gathering space for over a century, marched the same well-trodden streets their forebears had and spoke their minds in the tradition of so many great Rochestarians.
Rochester March for Our Lives wasn't about reflecting on the past. These students have taken the reigns and are focused on the future. The future was the 5,000 people who flooded the streets and made their voices heard.
As Oberstadt said, "We, as a generation, are spearheading this movement and saying what many adults are too afraid to say."

Did you Know if You don't have a PFD's aka Life Jacket on your boat you could be fined? $$$
Yes, on Watauga River if you don't have a PFD on your boat, kayak, raft, etc., TWRA will fine you if they see you. Best to have it ON. The water is very cold and if you were to fall in it could be your life. I think the fine is somewhere in the neighborhood of $265.00 +- And if a child does not have the PFD on you may be taken to jail. SAFE THAN SORRY Wear the PFD.

Peru Vivential
Volunteering Activities
What We Need
Teaching English:
Because public education in Peru significantly lacks funding, and the majority of the community cannot afford private schooling, the members of our community have very few opportunities for education. Thus, children are born into poverty and few are ever able to rise up and become empowered. Recognizing that many members of La Esperanza are born into this type of poverty and have few job opportunities, our organization's founders decided to broaden the horizons of our friends and neighbors through providing education. There is no greater freedom than knowledge. This belief defines the philosophy at our organization which offers English classes completely free of charge to people of all ages in the hopes of creating an equal opportunity for everyone to receive a quality education.
We believe that education is one of the best ways to help a person out of poverty, and by providing free English, computer, music, football, art and more classes, this allows the children and adults in Trujillo to acquire an important skill which could lead to better job opportunities. Volunteers share unique skills and knowledge with the students. At Peru Vivencial, we work in partnership with a local elementary school and also teach in our private classroom in our program called "After Classes" where children fron different schools can join and take free English clases, in the Peru Vivntial School house. At the public schools, class sizes are 30 students, ages from 5 to 13 years old. Also with the help of our volunteers we have created the Adults Program where volunteers share the languages they know with students from univesities or people who work and need to improve their English or other language. We provide our volunteers with a rewarding experience learning about Peruvian culture while living with volunteers from around the world. we transcend cultural barriers by promoting an appreciation of other cultures, respect for different norms, long-lasting friendships and appreciation for different ways of living all of which create an improved learning environment.
We are a group of volunteers hoping to help make a difference here in Trujillo. Come join our family and bring hope to the people of Trujillo! Thank you for your interest in our organization. We hope to hear from you soon!

US CPI - Core [m/m]
The US consumer price index is used as an indicator of inflation in the country. The core CPI index is especially popular; it is corrected for seasonal and volatile fluctuations. It is used by the FRS in its decisions.
Features of the publication
How to trade US CPI - Core [m/m]
If the data is published above the forecast, USDJPY grows.
Core index excludes the price fluctuations of energy carriers and food as volatile variables, which gives the market a smoother and more accurate picture of the overall inflationary background in the country.
The consumer price index is certainly used to estimate inflation. As a rule, the central bank (in this case this is the Federal Reserve System) has its own inflation targeting. The inflation targeting helps the bank to assess the situation and take actions to achieve it, if necessary. 2% for the FRS is the traditional inflation targeting.
If the inflation is weak and is below the targeting level, as a rule, measures are taken to stimulate the economy, the printing press is turned on, and the interest rate is reduced. If inflation is high, everything happens on the contrary: the rate is raised, and the amount of the money supply must be reduced, thereby increasing the value of money in circulation.
At some points, when the FRS is particularly close to the moment of changing its interest rate (and, as a rule, the press constantly informs about it), we can use excessively low trading triggers since the market's interest in the indicator is especially high. Monitor the fundamental background and market sentiments before the release.
Pay attention that the schedule of the indicator's release is such that CoreCPI can be published simultaneously with the American retail sales. In this case, both indicators should be accepted for trading, as there can be a conflict between them. As a rule, a conflict prevention system is used in such cases, it takes both values, checks for a conflict, and then issues a weighted trading signal.

Here are the five lines of code if you would like to 'copy paste' :
from tkinter import * root = Tk() root.geometry('300x300') root.title("First Tkinter Window") root.mainloop()
I am using a package called 'Tkinter' to create this GUI. The beauty of this package is that you don't need to install or pip install any package. This comes inbuilt inside Python! Crazy right? Here is a step by step understanding of what we are doing in these first lines.
Line 1 - Importing the Tkinter package
Line 2 - Tk() is creating the window that you see and storing it inside the 'root' variable
Line 3 - This is the dimension of the window. Height and width (optional)
Line 4 - To change the title of the window
Line 5 - Make sure the window stays and doesn't disappear.
Obviously there is much more to the 'Tkinter' framework.
I am creating a much more advance GUI on my Youtube Playlist - Python GUI Programming using Tkinter + Pygame
Have already uploaded 30 videos and would be uploading 3 videos every alternate day
What do you guys think of the videos?

A security subroutine was a subroutine in computer programs related to various security-related matters.
In 2371, Tuvok altered the security subroutines of USS Voyager's transporter, so Joseph Carey's security codes were no longer accepted to initiate beaming. (VOY: "Prime Factors")
In 2372, Tuvix worked on a proximity detector problem in the security subroutine and solved in a few hours, while Tuvok had predicted it would take up to ten days. (VOY: "Tuvix")
While trapped aboard the Nyrian biosphere vessel in 2373, Tuvok suggested to disable the entire security subroutine to gain access to the vessel's systems. (VOY: "Displaced")

With the extra weight I thought it would be sensible to upgrade the brakes. This was limited to replacing the standard front discs with grooved and drilled ones that are supposed to dissipate the heat better. I also fitted Kevlar pads, but these didn't last as long as I would have expected (only about 24,000 miles): to be honest, I didn't notice much difference. Likewise the rear brakes didn't last too long either; new Land Rover ones fitted in Malawi were metal to metal within 8,000 miles.
I should have taken several spare sets of new brake pads, front and rear, because Land Rover ones were expensive in Africa. I only took a few part worn pads as spares that worked as a stop gap until sourcing new ones, but this was a mistake – as Judi reminded me several times!
Be aware that in some areas the African wet soil is akin to setting concrete and when this gets into the brakes acts as a very abrasive substance wearing out pads in a matter of miles, as happened to us in the Tuli Block, Botswana.

Princess Cruises has announced a new Epic Adventure Cruise from Singapore to Alaska on the 2,600-guest Golden Princess. This will help in catering to the Asian market with easy embarkation in Singapore and an exciting 29 to 36-day itinerary.
Sailing from Singapore on 14th April 2018, Golden Princess' 29-day Southeast Asia, Japan and North Pacific Crossing will bring guests to 11 ports in Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City & Nha Trang), Hong Kong, Taiwan (Taipei), South Korea (Busan), Japan (Osaka, Shimizu, Yokohama, Sakaiminato, Hakodate & Muroran), before crossing the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean on the way to Anchorage, Alaska.
To quote Mr. Farriek Tawfik, Director of Southeast Asia, Princess Cruises, "We have created this 29-day Epic Adventure Cruise from Singapore due to popular demand from guests in this region who wish to embark the ship closer from home to sail to Alaska instead of just booking the 7-night Alaskan cruise.

Guests on board the cruise can continue on the 7-day Alaska Grand Adventure from Anchorage visiting the Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay National Park, Skagway, Juneau, while cruising through Alaska with its dynamic scenery from picturesque shores to quaint coastal towns, before arriving in Vancouver in British Columbia. These two voyages can be combined into a 36-day sailing.
The 29-day Southeast Asia, Japan and North Pacific Crossing fares will cost S$4,520 per person, with the 7-day Alaska Grand Adventure fares to be charged an additional S$1,160 per person. The cruise offers guests an incredible opportunity to experience Alaska's majestic scenery, with snowy mountains, icy glaciers and magnificent fjords. Guests will also have the opportunity to observe Alaska's amazing diversity of wildlife including humpback whales, dolphins, bears and bald eagles. Guests can also enjoy on-shore excursion activities including dog sledding, and visits to the national and wildlife parks.

Guests can take pleasure in an extensive range of inclusive dining options with signature dishes designed by award-winning Chef Curtis Stone featured in the main dining room. Guests can also enjoy an authentic experience with an Alaska-themed dinner and a variety of fresh Alaska seafood options including King Crab, King Salmon, Hump Island Oysters and Halibut.

Unionlearn will be holding a national dissemination event this November to showcase exciting resources and share lessons from the Mid-life Skills Review Project.
The UK population is ageing, and people are living longer than ever before. Today, the average life expectancy is 81. Government research predicts that half of all adults in the UK will be over 50 by the mid-2030s.
Workers today can expect to change careers several times during their working lives. Effective career support to retrain and upskill will be essential for older workers to continue to be active in the labour market.
Ian Borkett, Unionlearn Service Team Manager Ian Borkett explained:
"A substantial body of evidence exists that shows people over the age of 50 in Europe exiting the labour market find it more difficult to re-enter. The Mid-life Skills Review Project was set up to develop a digitally-enabled mid-life skills review that can help prepare workers to be more resilient to labour market challenges they face in the future."
"The project developed a good practice model for the delivery of a mid-life 'skills' review – with the emphasis on reviewing skills and competences and targeted at workers in the labour market with low levels of basic skills in literacy, numeracy and digital literacy."
Unionlearn will be holding a National Mid-life Skills Review dissemination event on Thursday 7th November at Friends House, London to showcase the new resources and share the lessons learnt.
Participants will hear about the project results and the new online Value My Skills tool which helps workers to think and plan for their skills development. The event will also highlight how to conduct an effective mid-life skills review and how this intervention helps support older workers to thrive and progress at work.
The day will be a chance to hear about the mid-life skills review project achievements and see a showcase of the new Value My Skills online tool.
By the end of the event delegates will:
- Gain an insight into the Mid-life Skills Review project and the good practice model developed
- Understand how to conduct an effective Mid-life Skills Review
- Explore the benefits to employers and ways of getting employer buy-in
- Hear the experience of Union Learning Reps involvement in the project and their support for mid-life colleagues
- Look at how Mid-life Skills Reviews and the National Retraining Scheme are intrinsically linked
- Consider the sustainability of mid-life skills reviews.
The dissemination event takes place at Friends Meeting House in central London on Thursday 7th November, starting at 10 am and finishing at 3:30pm with lunch provided.

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Council of the Town of Glocester 5-16-1996, amended 10-15-1998 (Ch. III, § 2, 3-02-11, of the 1991 Code). Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the policy of the Town of Glocester to maintain a working environment that is entirely free of sexual harassment in any form. Supervisors, managers and all other employees, elected officials and appointees are absolutely prohibited from engaging in sexual harassment of Town of Glocester employees, elected officials, appointees, visitors, and members of the general public. Sexual harassment is unlawful. Because sexual harassment can be destructive to morale as well as to the Town of Glocester's reputation and because it can be extremely costly to the Town of Glocester in terms of lost productivity, lost employees, and out-of-pocket expense, no act of sexual harassment can serve the Town of Glocester or be incidental to any service on account of which any employee has been employed. Thus, any act or pattern of sexual harassment by any employee, elected official or appointee of the Town of Glocester is beyond the scope of his or her authority as an employee, agent, supervisor or servant of the Town of Glocester, which may include the termination of employment or appointment. Such conduct will subject the employee or appointee to discipline up to termination of employment or appointment.
The Town of Glocester will administer all provisions of this policy without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, handicap, Vietnam-era veteran status, or disabled veteran status.
This policy applies to all employees, elected officials, and appointees of the Town of Glocester.
The Glocester Town Council has overall responsibility for this policy.
The Finance/Personnel Director is responsible for the implementation and daily administration of this policy.
Supervisory employees at all levels are responsible for implementing and enforcing this policy, and for assisting in investigating and processing complaints with the utmost priority and consideration for the rights of all concerned.
Every employee, elected official, and appointee is responsible for reporting to his/her supervisor or the Finance/Personnel Director or, if appropriate, the Town Council, any incident of sexual harassment that he/she witnesses or learns of. The Town of Glocester will maintain the highest degree of confidentiality possible with respect to such reports, consistent with its obligation to investigate thoroughly all such reports.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:
Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment or appointment;
Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment or appointment decisions affecting such individual;
Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.
Some examples of conduct towards employees, elected officials, or appointees prohibited by this policy include:
Physical assaults of a sexual nature, such as:
Assault, rape, sexual battery, molestation or threats or attempts to commit these acts; or
Unwelcome intentional physical conduct, or threats of such conduct, which is sexual in nature, such as touching, pinching, patting, grabbing, brushing against another person's body, or poking another person's body.
Unwanted sexual advances, propositions or other sexual comments, such as:
Sexual or discriminating displays in the workplace such as:
Displaying or otherwise publicizing in the work environment materials that are sexually revealing, suggestive, demeaning or pornographic; or
Displaying signs or other materials purporting to segregate an employee, elected official, or appointee by sex in any area of the workplace (other than restrooms and similar semi-private lockers/changing rooms).
Retaliation against an employee, elected official, or appointee for making a complaint under this policy or for assisting or cooperating in an investigation of a complaint under this policy;
Failure to cooperate fully with investigation of harassment complaints.
The Finance/Personnel Director is responsible for publicizing this policy to all employees, elected officials, and appointees by inclusion in the Town of Glocester's Employee Handbook.
The Finance/Personnel Director or his/her designee is responsible for developing a bulletin board notice to all employees, elected officials, and appointees for posting at the time that this policy is adopted by the Town of Glocester. The notice will emphasize the importance of the policy to the Town of Glocester, the obligation of every employee, elected official, or appointee to report any incident of sexual harassment, the availability of supervisors and administrative staff to receive such reports and the confidentiality with which these reports will be treated.
A copy of the policy will be given to all current employees, elected officials, and appointees, and new employees, elected officials, and appointees will be given a copy upon hire or commencement of duties. Employees, elected officials, and appointees will provide written acknowledgment that they have received the policy and understand its terms.
Employees, elected officials, and appointees may report sexual harassment to any supervisor or manager, or directly to the Finance/Personnel Director, 1145 Putnam Pike, Chepachet, RI 02814, 401-568-3342, or, if the Finance/Personnel Director is involved in the allegation of sexual harassment, to the Glocester Town Council, 1145 Putnam Pike, Chepachet, RI 02814, 401-568-1102.
The supervisor or manager will promptly inform either the Finance/Personnel Director or, if the Finance/Personnel Director is involved in the allegation of sexual harassment, the Glocester Town Council of any report of sexual harassment.
The Finance/Personnel Director or the Glocester Town Council or his/her/their designee will thoroughly investigate the report of sexual harassment as promptly as possible, keeping the matter as confidential as is practicable. After investigation, he/she/they will take appropriate action in response to a proven instance of sexual harassment and the complaining employee, elected official, or appointee will be notified of the action taken. If, after investigation, the Finance/Personnel Director or the Glocester Town Council is unable to conclude that any act of sexual harassment has occurred, he/she/they will meet with the complaining employee(s), elected official(s), appointee(s) and with the complained-against employee(s), elected official(s), or appointee(s) individually to explain both the results of the investigation and the Town of Glocester's policy on sexual harassment.
It is the responsibility of every employee, elected official or appointee to cooperate fully with any investigation under this policy.
Sexual harassment.
Employees and appointees are subject to discipline, up to and including discharge, for any act of sexual harassment which is proven to the satisfaction of the Town of Glocester.
The appropriate measure of discipline will be determined on the basis of the Town of Glocester's assessment of the nature and severity of the misconduct, along with any other relevant factors.
For any act of sexual harassment or retaliation by an elected official the Council may take such remedial and other action as it considers appropriate, and within the scope of its authority. Such action may include referral of charges of sexual harassment to other agencies.
Retaliation. It is unlawful to retaliate in any way against an individual who has complained of sexual harassment or cooperated in an investigation of a complaint of sexual harassment. An employee or appointee may be disciplined, up to and including discharge, for any such act of retaliation. The appropriate measure of discipline will be determined on the basis of the Town of Glocester's assessment of the nature and extent of the retaliation and any other relevant factors brought to the attention of the Town of Glocester.
State and federal employment discrimination agencies are: the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights, which may be contacted at 10 Abbott Park Place, Providence, RI 02903; and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which may be contacted at the Boston Area Office, One Congress Street, Suite 1001, 10th Floor, Boston, MA 02114.
State and federal agencies generally expect that employees, elected officials, and appointees will have first recourse to the procedures under an employer's sexual harassment policy in order to put a stop to sexual harassment or retaliation. It is the purpose of this policy that normally no employee, elected official, or appointee should ever have to go to an outside agency in order to resolve any situation involving sexual harassment.

Bloomfield Hills Marian's Cailtyn "Mellow" Marsh finds some room against the Regina defense.

STERLING HEIGHTS — Once a year, the seniors from Warren Regina and Bloomfield Hills Marian meet on the football field for bragging rights.
"It's the Super Bowl for girls," Regina coach Bill Madek said.
This year's edition Sept. 15 at Sterling Heights Stevenson was another one to remember. Regina captured the championship 7-0 for its second straight victory in the series.
Scoreless through three quarters, Regina broke the tie with 2:46 left in the game when Micah "Yards Per Carry" Carey found the end zone on a 3-yard rush off the right side.
"When they called the play, I knew no one was going to stop me, and I was going to run into the end zone," Carey said.
On the next possession, Regina's defense again stood tall. On third and long, Sara "Smooth as Cylk" Cylkowski picked off the Marian throw to seal the victory with 1:05 remaining.
"I'm so excited right now," Cylkowski said amongst a raucous celebration. "This is just the best thing ever."
It was Regina's third win in the last four years. Marian's last victory came two years ago with a 14-11 win. The game is only seniors, meaning students from both sides wait their turn to represent their school.
"It feels amazing. I've been waiting for this. I was so nervous; I'm just over-filled with joy," Carey said.
Both squads practice for two months leading up to the game, which takes place in front of standing-room-only crowds.
"You take a blank slate, and in eight weeks, you have to have something to put on that slate. It's just amazing how these girls learn and what they do in eight weeks," Madek said. "This just caps it off for all of their hard work."
On the other sideline, Marian coach Mike Milczarski was proud of his team's effort.
"I thought we dominated the second half. We just didn't get the break we needed," he said. "This senior class is a lot closer together now. It's not fun losing, but I thought they did a great job putting everything they had on the field."
Even in the loss, Milczarski said there's nothing like this game and the atmosphere surrounding it.
"All the girls that play here, I ask them, 'What was more important, your state championship or your win in powder puff football?' They say powder puff football. by far," Milczarski said. "Win or lose, they remember it the rest of their lives. It's very incredible."

Small business entrepreneurs are familiar with start-up planning, exit strategy planning, and strategic planning. Of course, being familiar with and actually performing key success development planning are quite different.

I recently got this programm and I found some temps parameters that I never seen before. Also the temps are quite high. Anyone knows what they are? http://subefotos.com/ver/?df255003485017703dd7e22a94843d3bo.jpg
Thanks! But I have another question and I won´t to create another thread. When I monitorise the CPU Cooler Fan Speed In Game doesn`t excede the 1660rpm like in Idle but if I open Corsair Link the fan speed is above 2000+ rpm. What is the issue?Martin said:Sorry, but only ASUS knows exactly what those temperatures are.
In some cases such values can be invalid due to not connected sensors on a particular mainboard. In your case they seem to provide correct values, but it depends on how they behave when idle/under load. It might be PCH or voltage regulator.
Both fans of my h100i GTX are connected to my pump heather which are logically related to Corsair Link. Minutes after I reply to your message and I open HWInfo64 Both of my CPU fans were 960rpm. What the heck?Martin said:Which fan is that, the CPU under the "ASUS GRYPHON..." sensor? Is that fan somehow related to Corsair Link ?
You might also compare with other tools (i.e. ASUS AI Suite) what they show.

I replaced a few of my pens recently with new ones. I like fresh pens. The ink is really thin and flows so smooth. It's one of those little things that probably only a very few people really ever care about.
Also, I've got some big plans in the works. Some really cool stuff that I think you will all enjoy! Check back soon for full disclosure.
You can buy the original art for this strip! Click here to learn more.

Okay, you can't blame Carl on that one XD
this really cracked me up, probably more than it should have.
Ok, that is flat out funny right there. Note to self: Don't give money to seagulls.
Didn't someone say something like "history is doomed to repeat itself?"
Are these the pens you chew on?
Nice job on this one AND the last one. This is a great example of continuing the storyline but keeping the jokes relative to the single strip
Maybe that's where all my money goes. Friggin' seagulls.
Nice to see Carl smile for a couple of strips!

Most people advise you to avoid using technology as much as possible when you are on a vacation in order to absorb everything you see and enjoy the experience in a deeper level.
Now if it is about using social media and Snapchatting everything we come across, then I agree. But, we can change our perspective and embrace technology as a tool that can make our vacation more fun.
There are many ways that we can use mobile apps and gadgets for our benefit. They can create for us a better atmosphere where we can have more quality time with our family and friends.
We just need to be smart about it and fully aware that our phones and tablets are here to help us have a better time, and not distract us from the fun.

Practically everyone has entertained the thought of what it would be like to run a business from home. Setting your own schedule and not having to deal with a boss can be a great benefit. Executing this idea into a viable plan is a different lesson and will be achievable through the subsequent tips.
You need to have a personal phone line and a business phone line which are separate. You have to keep your professional reputation in mind, not to mention the fact that others in the household might answer the phone without the professionalism required of someone running a business.
You need to be determined and a self-starter, in order to be successful with a home business. If you have the land, consider building an office space on your property. This is beneficial in the sense that you will not have customers entering your personal space and the local government may have stipulations requiring it. This also acts as an effective barrier between your private life and work life.
You should set up your home office and stock it appropriately before starting your business. It may seem silly, but if you are not comfortable and have all you need, you may not be very productive.
Customers should be given incentives when they refer others to do business with you. Advertising that's word of mouth can be effective because people tend to listen to those they know when they recommend something. When you show your customers that you are grateful for their help thanks to incentives, they will be more willing to help you.
Seek strength in numbers by joining an online forum comprised of members that are home business owners just like you. There is a huge number and variety of sites and forums for home business owners, and the support and understanding is invaluable. Other business owners are more than happy to share with you things they've tried and whether those things have brought success. When you hit a rough spot, this information can make a big difference.
You have to be at ease promoting yourself to have a successful work from home business. You're going to need to be able to sing your company's praises. You really can convey a sense of quality to customers. Self promotion is something you will need to learn how to do successfully if you are going to bring in top profits.
Make a price point for your merchandise. If you are going to make your own product, you need to find out how much it costs to make. Standard pricing is twice the cost of materials. This is the price you need to charge other people when they buy from you at wholesale prices. You should multiply your wholesale prices by three for an appropriate retail price.
Create a business that can help you to be sure that you're going to make money. Find an area of the market that is weak and take advantage of it. A field that is highly competitive will yield lower profits. Make sure you evaluate each financial opportunity thoroughly before you start up any business.
Your exposure to the rest of the web has much to do with your search engine rank. SEO is a vital tool to help businesses reach more people. There are many professional guidelines for using SEO, and they can help you get started.
Your home based business should meet safety requirements for a business, and in the interest of your family. For instance, it's a good idea to have a way to separate your business from the rest of your house. This is important not only for the security of your business, but possibly also for your family's safety. It will also help you to avoid expensive accidents. Your business can still be inspected, even if you work from home.
Set up a dedicated telephone line that is just for business. You can write this off. If a new line is not in the cards, then keep good track of all your business related calls and deduct that in your taxes.
As you can see, it will require a little bit of work and dedication to make the jump. If you can manage to pull through and stick to the plan, you will be able to accurately represent your dream in the company's image and create something that is long-lasting and profitable over the years.

A new report by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has reportedly concluded that there was no way members of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Council, could have been unaware of the extent of doping and non-enforcement of the rules in athletics.
The council included current president Sebastian Coe, who served as vice-president between 2007 and 2015.
According to the Associated Press, who have seen documents related to the latest report before its publication on Thursday, former IAAF president Lamine Diack told a lawyer he would need to cut a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to ensure nine Russian athletes accused of doping would not compete at 2013 world championships in Moscow.
The report by WADA president Dick Pound, is said to conclude that the IAAF needs to be restructured to ensure corruption cannot go unchecked.
The corruption "cannot be blamed on a small number of miscreants", he is said to have written.
"The corruption was embedded in the organisation," the report is expected to say. "It cannot be ignored or dismissed as attributable to the odd renegade acting on his own."
It follows earlier reports this week that in 2009, tests conducted at the world championships, where Russia won 13 medals, "strongly suggested a systematic abuse of blood doping or EPO-related products".
Then IAAF general secretary, Pierre Weiss, is reported to have written that some athletes "recorded some of the highest values ever seen since the IAAF started testing", in a letter to the Russian athletics president Valentin Balakhnichev.
Not only are these athletes cheating their fellow competitors but at these levels are putting their health and even their own lives in very serious danger.
Mr Balakhnichev was banned from sport last week for breaching anti-doping rules.
IAAF spokesman Chris Turned confirmed to the AP news agency the letters were genuine and were a "clear, open warning" to Russia and insisted the body has been "very strong" in dealing with the federation.
Other key findings are said to include:
Internal papers before the 2012 London Olympics that show the IAAF proposed "discreet" handling of doping cases for less well-known Russian athletes, resulting in their removal from competition for two years.
An internal brief for then-IAAF President Lamine Diack is said to have estimated that 42% of tested Russian elite athletes doped in 2012.
In November, the Russian athletics federation was provisionally banned from international competition after another WADA report alleging state-sponsored doping and mass corruption.
On Wednesday, Lord Coe told ITV News he wished he did more to stamp out doping while he was vice-president.
He admitted: "I wish we had reduced the walls. Should we have intervened earlier? Possibly, but it's difficult to see how."
Lord Coe also insisted he would not be afraid to bring sanctions against any nations found to have cheated.
"The overwhelming principle here has to be to get the cheats out of the sport as quickly as we can."


text: 10rb1988 4 Posted August 28, 2018 Hi, I searched the forums for this, but didn't see this issue pop up. It may just be a little too vague for searching. Im on a very stable High Sierra running on an Alienware 15 R3. i7 GTX1070. Clover 4658. The OS is very fast, nothing lags. Runs huge Pro Tools sessions without batting an eyelid. However any system password prompt leads to a spinning beachball, after somewhere between 20 and 40 seconds I will be able to input the password and move on. Weirdly this problem doesn't exist when logging in to the system. Just authenticating some installs or anything with iCloud. Has anyone come across this before?
