Photography sent my father to Vietnam.
He was the photographer for his high school newspaper. He was something of an aimless kid, but this was something that interested him. When the Air Force recruiters came to his school his senior year, in late 1962 or early 1963, they told him, "Hey, you're interested in photography? Well young man, we do a lot of reconnaissance photography. Sign up and we'll give you a whole bunch of training that will set you up for a civilian career later."
At the time we had "advisors" in Vietnam, but this was before the Gulf of Tonkin fakery that drew us deep into the war. Dad didn't sign up thinking he'd be sent overseas; certainly not that he'd be trained as a Air Policeman rather than a photographer. (And he certainly didn't expect to be poisoned by dioxin contamination in "Agent Orange" defoliant.)
So his plans to move into photography as a profession didn't work out. When he came back to the US, his uncle advised him to get in on the newest thing: computers. But he kept up photography as a hobby.
I had my little 110 camera but didn't go beyond that as a kid. My brother became interested in photography in high school — I have a great photo he took of me breaking a stack of boards at a karate tournament — but didn't sustain it.
But I started to get interested when digital cameras came out. In the 90s I had a Casio QV-10 the first consumer-grade LCD digital camera. As the web started to become a thing, the utility of digital photography became obvious. And I discovered that image editing software could do more than crop and zoom and brighten images, it could be put to creative ends.
And I've found that dipping my toes into digital photo based art has helped me better understand the visual arts in general.
Which takes me to this week's entry in my 52 makeup challenge. I took my Pentax DSLR (not a fancy camera, but light-years beyond that old Casio!) out around the neighborhood looking for something interesting to take a picture of, and found this delaminating plywood numeral 1 zip-tied to a fence near the local elementary school. At one point I think there were numbers 1 through 6 for some school activity, but now just this 1 remains. I found it visual striking, so, boom, this week's art.

Portland is a special place. Many of us have called it home our entire lives, and many more have chosen to come to Portland to build a future for themselves and their families.
But Portland isn't working for everyone, or every family. Too often, our city falls short of our promise and doesn't live up to its ideals.
I'm running for City Council because we need a Portland that works for ALL of us.
We need a Portland where every family can live affordably, that is safe for our families, where neighbors look out for one another, with jobs that pay good wages and offer benefits, good schools where all kids have the opportunity to be successful, and a city where everyone feels that they belong.
Responding with Urgency to our Housing Crisis
My number one priority is housing affordability and homelessness. Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to sleep at night. The housing crisis is affecting everyone in our community. The city and county governments collectively served 35,000 people last year with services like emergency shelter, rent assistance, permanent housing, and support services. Yet every day more people are struggling as the cost of rent outpaces income. Folks end up without affordable housing options or a place to stay for a variety of reasons, and the help we provide as a city needs to reflect this. We must respond with urgency, delivering new affordable housing funded by voters with the Portland and Metro housing bonds.
In order to adequately address this affordability crisis, we need to coordinate an urgent and effective, multifaceted approach with local, state, and federal partners, both public and private. We need to build more homes for individuals at all income levels so that working families and individuals can afford to stay here - in the community they love.
We also need to keep investing in homelessness prevention. I fully support expanding programs like affordable housing creation, short-term rent assistance, compassionate street response, substance abuse treatment, and wraparound mental health services. I also believe we should aggressively implement anti-displacement efforts.
There are some impressive efforts taking place at the City to address housing affordability and homelessness but we must act with greater urgency and expand our efforts. For example, the City currently funds a successful program called the Service Coordination Team that works with people experiencing homelessness who are suffering from mental illness and addiction and places them in housing and specialized treatment. A team of outreach workers work to get them off the streets and into housing. This is a crime reduction program but also a successful model of transitioning a very tough to reach population off the streets and into treatment services. I support expanding these services and other programs that address the root causes of poor housing affordability and homelessness.
Economic Prosperity for All of Us
I'm also running because I care about economic prosperity for ALL OF US. The Portland I envision takes care of hardworking and low-income families first. Communities of color and low-income Portlanders know that this city's prosperity has often come at the expense of our communities, and our histories. Rampant displacement and gentrification have left behind far too many people. I support rapidly increasing contracting with minority- and women-owned businesses. Through strategic investments, we can create prosperity in East Portland, lifting up community-led economic development practices; and for low-income, people of color Portlanders in places like the Broadway Corridor through innovative tools like community benefits agreements.
I'm committed to supporting small business development. We will double down on investments in immigrant, indigeneous, and people of color businesses, especially businesses owned by women of color. We must invest in workforce development efforts that provide training and support to help those living on low incomes get good jobs and opportunities to provide for themselves and their families.
I'll encourage the city to leverage its position of power to create pipelines for young people into the trades, which are good-paying, often union, positions.
Reduce Gridlock and Reduce Carbon Emissions
We have a vanishingly small window of opportunity to take on the climate crisis. The climate crisis affects all Portlanders, impacting communities of color and working and low-income families hardest of all. I will ensure that Portland continues to be a leader by supporting community-led efforts to accelerate our shared city and county goal to get 100% of our energy from renewable sources by 2035. I will support development of community-based energy sources and keep up the pressure on our region's energy providers to shift to renewable sources. I supported the passage of the innovative Portland Clean Energy Fund and I support continued efforts to create community-based climate programs and projects that create good-paying jobs for low-income and people of color Portlanders, economic opportunity for minority- and women-owned businesses, and elevating leadership of the most-impacted Portlanders in our climate efforts.
We must prioritize investments that make transit, bicycling, and walking fast and safe alternatives. We need to do that recognizing that most of our high-crash corridors are in low-income and people of color communities. It is in these communities that we must prioritize investments to create plentiful and reliable transportation options. People need access to economic opportunity, work, school, and recreation.
A Responsive, Representative City Council
Finally, I'm running for Portland City Council because Portlanders deserve better representation — representation that includes people who know what families today are struggling with — and the experience to know how to address it. A representative City Hall means that people see themselves reflected in government and are treated with dignity and respect. Every one of us needs to know who to call when we have a problem or we need help — and that when we call, we will be treated with respect, regardless of our education level, the color of our skin or the language we speak, our income, or our neighborhood.

The prompt here was meant to dive deeper into Terra. While writing this, and channeling the character, I had the makings of a soundtrack playing. The top two songs – meaning I replayed them till my finger was sore – were Cut by Plumb and So Cold by Breaking Benjamin.
I don't know why, but I like the dark. I doubt that makes me unique, not that I need to be any more of that. I don't like my Gift. I hate it. Maybe I'll try speaking to the headmaster. If I'm lucky, I'll get to switch out to normie classes. I like biology and math. Unlike the people around me, they can't really fail you without you making the mistake first. I don't like being fawned over. Shimmer tries to do it when she thinks I need a loose lipped person to confide in but it makes me uncomfortable and I'm cranky when I'm uncomfortable. My gift doesn't make me a people person. It makes me withdrawn. I'm getting away from the goal here. Damn it. I need to stop rambling. I hate grapes and being around large groups. I have a dog named Peanut that annoys me with his snoring but I love him. Pastries make me happy especially when they are the ones filled with fruit or fruit preservatives or imitation. I'm not sure what it is but I like those.
Time's up. Class is about to start and Vechor will read my thoughts to the class if I'm late.

Dear Jeanne,
Your messages lately have been extremely helpful to people. Today I would like to ask you to give us guidance for the next few days. How can we stay grounded in our inner work when the outside world pulls with so much that wants our attention? And how do we balance that with giving our energy to things that really do matter and need our participation and attention?
My Dear Jan, this is really a question of learning detachment, purpose, and the reality of life, as it must be lived, in a grounded and balanced manner. The inner work is of utmost importance, but so is attention to your duties equally so. To become sloppy in any area of life is not particularly proper for any reason. No excuses, I say. Get your jobs done, your duties attended to, and pay attention to your life upon that Earth in the minutest of details, leaving nothing undone.
An evolutionary being is attentive and energetic, with well-distributed balance in all areas of life. Know your place. Know your skills. Know your time frame. Know your most important chores and your least important, and know what is most meaningful for your life to be as you desire it. For to attend to the practical according to someone else's plan is not conducive to living a meaningful life according to your own standards of right knowing and inner truths. You must all know who you are, where you stand on issues of importance, and you must prepare your selves to stick with the convictions and the truths of who you truly are.
Balance all of that with time each day for inner contemplation and interest in the inner self. Perhaps even just some quiet reading on the subject will be enough to sustain you until you have more time to explore the self. Allow inner thinking to take over the old chatter of voices that continue to control your thoughts and actions throughout the day. Determine to do things differently in your own solid inner true way. Look at life and your issues differently, from your inner perspective now, wholly owned, and recognizably coming from the true inner you. Contemplate your life, your outer life, from this true inner self now more often, and see how you begin to think, and act, and feel slightly, or even greatly differently from your old actions, and thoughts, and deeds.
These are all actions of detachment, learning to center your thoughts and actions from your inner you, rather than the outer you. But yes, it does require reserving time for the self. Perhaps on busy days this will have to wait until you are asleep, and then you can dream and explore your life with your true energetic self as your knowing guide. In times of stress return always to inner centered calm. With your heart immediately your focus, can you attend to awareness of outer turmoil differently. Return always to truth of the self, inner knowing of self, before action, before words are spoken, and before decisions are made. Return to inner knowing of self, and from this place of calm will right words be spoken, and right actions be taken.
Do not harbor fears for the future, for it has yet to unfold. Do you wish for it to unfold as it will? Or do you wish to plan every step of the way, so that real life has no opportunity to approach you and offer its gifts? I suggest allowing it to present itself, and then going into your place of inner knowing to determine your next direction. Allow life to flow, and you too will flow.
I can attest, My Dear Jan, that you are pretty good at such flow and acceptance of life, and you are open to the energy that approaches. This is as it should be, but your place of detachment sometimes jumps to the fore, before your inner knowing is truly heard. I do not recommend jumping ahead to anything, nor do I recommend concluding endings before a step has been taken. Take the step that is right, go bravely forward, heart first, always open to seeking resonance, and then determine your way.
Balance is necessary now, for all who reside upon that Earth. A deluge of outer energy is sweeping upon that plane, that level, stirring up the ire of many, and filling the pockets of the rich with greater riches, while the masses struggle. This time is a time of concern of coming devastation. Be certain that it will not last, but until it is over will there be much dispute, political and personal, about which is the best way to proceed.
You all know, My Dear Readers, that the best way to proceed in life is with your heart centered inner knowing speaking louder than the turmoil outside of you. Turn up the inner volume, My Dears, so you can hear what is being spoken. It will be the truth. Have no doubt about it.
I suggest you stick with that as you go into the next few days, staying centered there; calmly living your life; using only what you need; not taking what is not necessary; and protecting the Earth and all the creatures upon it, for they deserve life as much as you do, participants in this grand plan of life upon that planet, learning what it means to be in an evolutionary process.
That is what you all are, students and participants in an evolutionary process. Your place in the process is inside the self. Find your balance always there first. Then will you be better prepared, and ready to tackle the outer world and its desires and needs. Look to the truth for your answers. If you can't quite find the truth, then go back into your heart center and look again. And listen well to your inner spirit; it speaks only truth, resonating outward through your heart its message of love, compassion, and right action.

For those who must grow to be really disenchanted, your inclination should be to leave and under no circumstances appear back.

Damon Terzaghi, Senior Director, Medicaid Policy and Planning at the National Association of States United for Aging Disabilities (NASUAD) provided an update on national Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) policies for participants at Tellus' 2nd annual EVV national forum June 13.
With the federal deadline for states to implement EVV for Medicaid-reimbursed personal care services (PCS) just six months away, the overflow crowd at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina was eager to take in the latest news, updates and policy changes required by the 21st Century Cures Act mandated by Congress in 2016.
Terzaghi reminded the audience that PCS must use EVV by January 1, 2020, but noted a lesser known requirement under the Cures Act statute: it's not just for hands-on, in-home services, but for medical equipment that requires an in-home visit too.
Additionally, Terzaghi said the six data elements that are required under the mandate are "not quite so straightforward," and offered a clarification.
Why are states doing this? Terzhagi asked.
"At the end of the day it all comes down to money," he said. "If a state does not have an [EVV] system in place they receive a decrease for the federal share of a Medicaid program that the federal government takes."
While a one percent reduction over time may look small and only applies to non-compliant services, PCS makes up a "whole heck of a lot of Medicaid spending," he said.
In 34 states, PCS spending alone was $14 billion in one year, according to CMS data, which excluded California, Terzaghi said.
Add in the one percent penalty and, "in larger states, you're talking about tens of millions of dollars lost in federal revenue to your Medicaid program," he said.
A report by HHS's Office of Inspector General in 2017 — the most recent year when data was available — showed federal and state Medicaid spending on PCS was $13.3 billion in 2015, a 21 percent increase over 2012.
At one point, Terzaghi posed a question for the audience that addressed a question many were already pondering: "What do we need to do to get the system in place and avoid the penalty? How do we get those six data elements and how do we get them now?"
Incorporating the six data elements required by CMS as a result of the Cures Act in six months will be a challenge, Terzaghi noted.
Milestones that need to be reached to get IT systems in place (development and installation), and the need to demonstrate outcomes is a long process, he added.
While some states already have EVV in place, that challenging timeline was behind the impetus for NASUAD and other advocacy groups to advocate to push back the deadline for PCS from January 2019 to January 2020, Terzaghi said.
"We did successfully get the delay, but it didn't necessarily get us exactly where we needed to be because we still do have challenging timelines — procurement, development and installation takes a long, long time at the state level."
States can ask for a one-year reprieve if a good faith effort was made to implement their system. The exemption only lasts for a one-year period.
The way Terzaghi sees it, there are two different compliance outcomes in terms of IT implementation. First, what do states need to have in place to avoid the penalty, and secondly, what are the requirements to meet the certification process.
On that second point, "the Cures Act is very, very vague," Terzaghi said.
Adhering to the functionality of the system is one thing. There may be other populations, and parts of the Medicaid system, sitting outside of the broader framework and state-level infrastructure with needs that must be addressed.
Privacy concerns over GPS tracking in PCS and other issues also stand in the way of full acceptance of EVV.
"Implementation [of EVV] across the country as we stand right now varies greatly," Terzaghi said.

Who ever responsible is still out there !!
Then can Salawa explosion and devastation .Many pointed figure at some top army brass ,No punishment .
There are still there !!
Many purportedly wrong doers in the past embezzling money and ineffective law enforcement delaying punishment
Head of Law enforcement agencies may be responsible and he is still there !!!!!!
Law and order in day to day driving and obvious blatant violations of traffic laws by three wheelers and some private buses
Someone on charge of traffic law enforcement is responsible,

He is still there
Finally over all delays in efficiency in state sector decision makers and some obvious culprits found Ministers in charge of those state institutions are responsible

Honda eyes title in 2007
This weekend will see the most thrilling climax to a Formula One season for many years and the sport will bid farewell to a legend. Honda Racing F1 Team CEO Nick Fry looks ahead to a momentous season finale and tells us why he believes the team can become a title contender in 2007.
The Championship quite literally comes down to the wire in Sao Paulo this weekend as Schumacher and Alonso slug it out for the drivers' title. "This has been one of the most exciting seasons in many years and although we are not part of the Championship battle, it's great that our team has been right in the thick of the action in the second half of the season", said Fry.
As Formula One bids farewell to Michael Schumacher this weekend after more than 15 years in the sport, Fry says the Honda Racing F1 Team must take inspiration from his formidable achievements and rise to the challenge of contending both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships next season.
"With seven world titles under his belt, Michael's remarkable career should be celebrated. His success is the benchmark to which our team must now aspire. Michael's departure puts Jenson Button in the position of one of the top three drivers in Formula One and that is a huge opportunity for us."
"Rewind 17 races to winter testing and you will recall that Jenson had accrued an impressive 7000 miles of running between 1 January and the Bahrain Grand Prix - before the season had even got underway. That's far more than any other race or test driver during that same period. Compare that with Michael Schumacher who was 5th in the mileage league table with some 1400 less than Jenson. If you look at testing mileage since the start of the season, then give or take a few miles, Jenson and Michael are running pretty neck and neck."
"Jenson has a prodigious talent and it's up to us now to give him the tools for the job. Since his first win in Hungary, Jenson has scored more points than any other driver including the two world title contenders! In those same races we have seen Jenson at his brilliant best - in his element and providing some real edge-of-your seat racing for the fans. As for making the most of overtaking opportunities, I think he answered his critics with his race win in Hungary when he went from 14th on the grid to P1."
"2006 was this team's eighth year of F1 competition but only its first as a Honda works outfit. With our first win in hand we know we are on the right trajectory. We have enjoyed a much improved second half of the season but we know that there is a great deal of opportunity for improvement. We will be working at 150 per cent over the winter to ensure that we are bona fide championship contenders next season."

I normally avoid stately homes and their gardens, or indeed anywhere popular that might attract visitors, on Bank Holidays, preferring to be the cool kid who goes out the weekend before or after, but there's always space to get away from the crowds in Chatsworth gardens so we decided to risk a visit over last weekend. It was a hot day, and the area around the Cascade was busy with families picnicking and paddling, but elsewhere there was peace and quiet to be found.
the end of March then a few weeks later, and, of course, the gardens change with every visit.
At the moment Chatsworth's stunners are the golden bright, honeysuckle-scented azaleas massed in the aptly named Azalea Dell.
Wander past them, and there are rhododendrons in a variety of colours - from purest white to deep magenta - to be discovered in the wilder areas of the garden.
Heading back downhill to the Maze, I found these wonderful lupins. I, and probably most gardeners, grow them as 'spot' plants; one here and there in a mixed border. At Chatsworth though, they're massed together with a multitude of shades echoing those of the rhododendrons.
|where else would you find a van selling champagne?
The same colours appeared again in the small sensory garden. Here plants are chosen to appeal to all the senses - some are scented, others rustle as the breeze blows through them, or have velvety leaves - but these late tulips and the peony below were definitely planted to catch the eye!
In a month or so, I'll head back; I wonder what there'll be to see then?

The daily newspaper i and its inews.co.uk website, owned by JPIMedia, recorded its best ever performance in 2018, against a backdrop of falling circulation and increased pressure in the digital ad market.
I has increased profitability, recorded exponential growth in its digital audience and grown the year-on-year circulation of iweekend, its weekend edition.
Key to this has been impactful news coverage, stylish comment, striking design and a focus on product innovation.
The newspaper consistently broke agenda-setting stories during 2018, including the revelation that three universities were on the brink of bankruptcy, numerous health scoops and the newspaper's investigation team's revelations about the rise in teenage knife crime in January, before it became one of the year's themes.
In the last year, i has also developed new business with brands including British Airways, Audi, Jaguar and Vauxhall. Increased revenue has enabled the brand to hire more journalists to deliver an increased number of exclusives and drive digital. It has also signed a deal with The Economist to republish some of its articles every week - a UK first.
In 2018 i's total daily brand readership grew from 508,000 to 593,000, marking a 17% increase.

I Never Get The Flu, So Why Do I Need A Flu Shot?
The seasonal flu is a contagious illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the respiratory tract. When people have the flu, some are only mildly affected, yet others may miss work, be hospitalized, or even die due to complications. Influenza vaccine, though not perfect, is the best way to prevent flu. But if you have always avoided vaccination and have never had the flu, you may wonder, "Why do I need a flu shot?" Here are five good reasons, along with answers to some common questions about flu vaccine.

UK used market remains strong
More than 8.1 million used vehicles changed hands in 2017, dipping just 1.1% compared to 2016, according to latest figures from the SMMT.
Published as new car registrations figures show a 5.7% downturn last year, the used car figures show demand remained healthy over the year – even though a decline of 5.1% was seen in the final quarter of 2017 -and the used car market was its second most buoyant ever, after a record-breaking 2016.
Smaller cars continued to prove most popular with buyers, with superminis representing 33.5% of all transactions, while demand for minis grew 4.3%.
Reflecting the new car market, SUVs enjoyed the strongest growth rising 9.5%. Apart from executive cars (+0.02%), all other segments experienced declines.
The SMMT figures also showed that as alternative fuelled vehicles (AFVs) increase in number on the used market, petrol-electric hybrid used car sales rose 22.2% to 73,864, and zero emission electric vehicles rose 77.1%, with 10,199 changing hands in the year.
Despite a -4.3% decline, petrol retained its position as the most popular fuel type with a 58.0% market share, while used diesel car transactions rose 3.3%, with more than 3.3 million motorists (40.8% of buyers) investing in one.
Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said: "While such healthy demand is reassuring, to keep it that way and accelerate renewal throughout the fleet – the fastest way to improve air quality – government must now restore confidence to the new car sector.
"Given the recent economic and fiscal uncertainty, particularly over diesel, consumers and businesses need clarity to encourage them to move out of their older vehicles and into newer, lower emission cars – whatever their fuel type."

Gluten Free Scones
|Yields six scones
Preheat oven to 425°F 1 C brown rice flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 C cold salted butter*
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1/2 C buttermilk**
1/4 C raisins /currants / craisins
|Grease a baking sheet with butter. Combine the flour and baking powder in a medium sized bowl. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two knives. Add the lemon zest and create a well in the center of the ingredients. Pour in the butter milk and add the raisins. Mix until just combined.
On a floured board press out the dough into a rectangle until about 1/2 inch thick. Be sure not to overwork the dough or you will loose the flaky texture and create a gluten free, cardboard mess. Cut out into triangles and place on the baking sheet.
At this point you can choose to brush some melted butter on top or stay "healthier". Bake for about 15 minutes or until the tops/edges are golden brown. Serve hot with honey and Greek yogurt. Yum!
* I used salted butter because that's all I had. If you have unsalted, used the same amount and add a pinch of salt (less than 1/4 tsp) to the dry ingredients.
** I didn't have buttermilk on hand so I used an old trick that has always worked for me: Curdle your own milk by adding lemon juice or white vinegar to whole milk. The ratio I typically use is 1/2 C whole milk to 1 Tbsp lemon juice/white vinegar.
Extra notes: the scones were so delicious hot that I honestly did not have time to pull out my camera. Hence, you get a scone drawing. Yay photoshop! 🙂 You can also make these scones with the same ratio of all-purpose flour.

Olive Garden Waitress Notices Family Acting Strange, Saves Kids From Alleged Abusers
Jordan Cooper noticed Jessica Woodworth and Mark Lee Pierce acting suspiciously with two children, then created a Facebook post to help track them down.
A waitress at an Olive Garden in Paducah, Kentucky, noticed a family of four behaving suspiciously and kicked off a chain of events that would land two parents in jail for alleged child abuse.
"The baby was sitting in a highchair with a blanket over her head," Jordan Cooper, 21 told Yahoo, about the March 3 encounter. "When the blanket came off, her face had a lot of black-and-blue bruises."
Cooper added that the man at the table, presumably the child's father, was particularly aggressive.
"He shoved breadsticks into her mouth and said, 'You'd better eat this' and got in her face while she whimpered," she continued.
Enlisting the help of a nearby table and her co-workers, Cooper managed to capture photos of the bizarre scene. But when the family noticed they'd attracted attention, they attempted to pay as fast as possible and flee.
Cooper took down the license plate number of the family's vehicle and immediately called 911. Then, Cooper turned to Facebook for help in tracking them down.
"I immediately got home and plugged my phone up," Cooper said to WPSD, a Paducah, Kentucky-based news organization. "I could not just not know what was going to happen to her."
Cooper's since-deleted Facebook post garnered more than 14,000 shares.
Tips from Cooper's friends, including a Metropolis 911 operator named Aaron Caldwell, led to the arrest of Jessica Woodworth and Mark Lee Pierce, who have since been charged with aggravated child abuse and neglect.
The infant was sent to an emergency room where she was treated for injuries. There, the 20-month-old baby and an 11-year-old girl were taken into Department of Children's Services custody.
"I couldn't sleep that night, I was so worried," Cooper said. "It makes me feel good to know these children will be better off."
Both Pierce and Woodworth are in jail on a bond of $200,000.

Today's consumers are riding a wave of technological and societal change that is altering their collective behaviour and influencing their expectations of product and service providers. Most people now automatically expect everything to be supplied at speed, and see digital interaction as a given, rather than a novelty.
Many financial advice clients therefore regard real-time interactive digital experiences such as tablet-enabled client meetings as the norm rather than as a value-add. The days when clients were impressed by basic financial modelling software tools are long gone.
At the same time, technological innovation has – somewhat paradoxically – fuelled a consumer yearning for simplicity, particularly in financial services. Advisers themselves also crave simplicity in their working lives amid a regulatory landscape that has become bewilderingly complex in the post-Future of Financial Advice [FOFA] world and its ever more demanding compliance burdens.
Technology solutions that integrate administration systems with financial planning software offer both simplicity and clear efficiency benefits. For advisers, they provide streamlined back-end processes that free them up to focus on providing high-quality advice. For clients, it can mean quick reporting and having all their financial data in one place, with easy access and complete transparency.
But the benefits go further. The faster, more accurate reporting that integrated technology enables makes it easier for advisers to fulfil their compliance obligations and gives them complete control over the quality of advice execution – meaning clients receive better service and support. Administrative staff become more efficient, with less paperwork. System integration lets them execute investment switches via straight-through processing, with no reliance on external platforms to initiate and confirm transactions.
All this means that clients' demands for real-time digital experiences are satisfied and more time for advisers to spend on business development and client servicing.
Incorporating new technology has naturally been a focus for many forward-thinking advisers in recent years. While clever-looking features may appeal to some clients in the short term, it's the streamlined back- and front-end capability of a truly integrated technology solution that sustainably supports an adviser's business and frees them up to provide the very best advice possible.
Technology will continue to evolve, as will every adviser's client base. As people move through the different phases of their lives their financial needs and behaviour will change – as will their expectations of how they receive financial advice.
Fully integrated single-provider platform and dealer software solutions that are customisable and built to support the evolving needs of advisory businesses and their clients are arguably best positioned to offer greater long-term benefits and take advantage of future technological innovations – whatever they may be.

Objective: An on-going epidemiological populational study examined hormone balance during aging in women, and whether there was a difference in endogenous serum sex hormone levels between a postmenopausal women group with moderately cognitive impairment and healthy age-mached women group.
Subjects and methods: One hundred and sixty-three women aged 25 to 80 years were classified into three groups: (1) 44 subjects aged 5580 years with moderately cognitive impairment (MMSE<28); (2) 73 age-matched subjects without cognitive impairment (MMSE>28); (3-control) 44 healthy subjects under 44 years. Total morning levels of serum 17-OHP, DHEA, DHEAS, androstendion, estradiol, estrone, progesterone, testosterone, free testosterone, DHT, SHBG, inhibin A and inhibin B, LH, FSH, Prl, TSH, GH, IGF1, insulin, cortisol and thyroid hormones were measured.
Results: There was a marked decline of sex steroid metabolism associated with an increase of gonadotropins in postmenopausal women. All androgens and estrogens were significantly decreased (P<0.001) with no significant change in SHBG levels; gonadotropins (LH, FSH) were significantly increased (P<0.001). Also, metabolic balance was significantly altered. The endocrine changes were associated with a cognitive decline (P=0.01); serum cortisol levels and thyroid hormones showed a minimal overall change in basal levels with aging. In postmenopausal women with moderately cognitive impairment there was a decrease of serum thyroxine level (P=0.006) but no significant differences in estrogens and androgens levels compared to age-matched group; however, there was a higher rate in their decline.
Conclusions: Endocrine deficiencies in postmenopausal women include a decrease in the peripheral levels of estrogens and androgens with an increase in LH, FSH associated with a cognitive decline. The moderately cognitive impairment did not significantly affect mean both sex steroid and gonadotropin levels. Finally, our results emphasize the complexities of hormone action, particularly related to estrogens and androgens associated with a cognitive decline during the menopausal and postmenopausal years.

Sleeping Time and the National Minimum Wage
Over the years, there have been several employment law cases dealing with the question of whether 'sleep-in' hours constitute 'time work' for the purposes of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) Regulations 1999. The authorities on this issue are fact sensitive and are sometimes difficult to reconcile with each other.
In Esparon t/a Middle West Residential Care Home v Slavikovska, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) held that a care assistant whose contract of employment required her to work a number of sleep-in night shifts and be available in case of an emergency was entitled to be paid the NMW for all the hours she spent at the premises.
Ms Slavikovska worked at a residential home in Surrey for people with learning difficulties. She claimed that she was required to carry out certain duties during her night shift, for which she received a fixed payment unrelated to the number of hours she spent at her employer's premises. This worked out at substantially less than the hourly rate of the NMW. Her employer disputed that she was required to work, claiming that she was able to sleep on site but was required to be available should an emergency arise.
The Employment Tribunal (ET) concluded that Ms Slavikovska was entitled to receive the NMW for all of the night-shift hours. It not only accepted her claim that she was required to carry out a variety of tasks during the night shift, including making regular checks on the residents, but also upheld her submission that whether or not she was allowed to sleep during the shift was irrelevant.
Having carried out a review of the relevant case law, the EAT upheld the ET's decision on both grounds. When distinguishing between cases where someone is doing time work and those where someone is merely on call, an important consideration is why the employer requires the employee to be on the premises. Where their presence is necessary to comply with a statutory requirement to have a suitable person on site as a precautionary measure, that would be 'a powerful indicator that the employee is being paid simply to be there and is thus deemed to be working regardless of whether work is actually carried out'. In this case, the statutory regulations governing staffing in care homes require an appropriate number of suitably qualified personnel to be present at all times and Ms Slavikovska's presence was essential in order for her employer to fulfil that obligation, even if she did nothing.
Where an employee is present in the workplace because this is required by law, they are likely to be entitled to be paid the NMW for all the hours of their shift. In Scottbridge Construction Limited v Wright, Lord Johnston suggested that the solution for employers who require employees to be at work in similar circumstances is to give them alternative and additional work which enables them to provide the employer with remunerated time at the same time as fulfilling the function required.
The Government has now revised its statutory guidance on calculating the NMW. The section on working hours for which the NMW must be paid covers sleeping between duties and has been updated to reflect recent case law on this aspect of the legislation. It provides an example of when the NMW is likely to apply and an example of when it is not.

On Tuesday Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman
chaired a round table to tackle priority directions in education and science,
included in section III titled "Human Capital Development" of the
draft Medium-Term Plan of Priority Actions of the Government until 2020.
"An education issue is crucial, from pre-school to Ukrainian
science. If we analyze our opportunities at all stages of training, we
understand that our potential is extremely high. Proper organization, relevant
priorities, financial support will provide us the opportunity to change the
situation for the better and to make quite fundamental changes", said Volodymyr
Groysman in his address during the meeting.
"Education, high quality training is viewed as
extremely important for the development of the state", said Volodymyr Groysman.
Speaking of pre-school education, the Prime Minister
stressed the need to ensure absolute availability and reduce queues in
The Government is also making efforts to create conditions
for accelerating positive change in the system of secondary education. In
particular, it is crucial to continue the establishment of hub schools, thereby
contributing to the improvement of the quality of knowledge, he urged.
"We need the school that would be efficient and train a
competitive person with relevant background", said Volodymyr Groysman.
The agenda
of the Cabinet of Ministers contains the modernization of the curriculum and
technologies of vocational education in Ukraine. Volodymyr Groysman noted that students
of vocational institutions in Ukraine, after training with use of outdated
technologies, often then can't find work due to being unprepared to modern
manufacturing process. "This means that our investment in the human
capital development of our people proves its inefficiency", he said.
Apart from
that, Volodymyr Groysman accentuated the importance of support for the
Ukrainian education and science and its correlation with the needs of the real
sector of economy.
"It is
an essential issue of support for Ukrainian education, Ukrainian science. Instead
of just maintenance of science, the support for science and the scientists to
provide them with opportunities to harmonize with the real sector of
economy", he stressed.
To the
conviction of the Prime Minister, to ensure retrofitting of education and
science sectors in Ukraine it is vital to fulfill the objectives, such as: to organize
the system and provide the funding. This approach would yield end result.
have to do everything to trigger the process of producing quality in the education.
This quality will be the basis for future developments of our country", highlighted
Volodymyr Groysman.
The Prime
Minister noted that today's meeting was the third meeting in a series of round
table discussions dedicated to the priorities of the draft Medium-Term Plan of Priority
Actions of the Government until 2020. This debate will provide an opportunity
to determine problems, to familiarize with the current state of affairs in
education and science in Ukraine and to work out the steps that need to be done
to change the situation for the better, he explained.
The round
table gathered experts, representatives of public organizations and the
Government members, in particular Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Vyacheslav Kyrylenko, Minister of
Education and Science of Ukraine Lilia Hrynevych and
Minister of Finance of Ukraine Oleksandr Danyliuk.

Hair removal-IPL hair removal
Hair removal-IPL hair removal
Technical characteristics
IPL is a kind of non exfoliation,non-invasive Photonic cosmetic technology. It has the following features and advantages:
1, Among all hair removal methods, IPL hair removal has relatively small pain. Clinical results show that most patients has feel like "Like a rubber band flick "
2, IPL can remove hair thoroughly. Because the light can penetrate the deep Dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue and acting on different parts of the depth of the hair follicle, then it effectively remove the hair of different depth.
3, IPL hair removal will not harm to the epidermis.
4,The pigmentation after the IPL hair removal treatment would be very close to the skin.
5, IPL hair removal advantage is fast.
6,IPL hair removal have adjustable long time pulse duration. It protect the skin while removing hair of different thickness.
7, square spot can remove hair fast, and accelerate the pace of treatment.
Hair removal-SHR fast hair removal
SHR hair removal has the theory of Photothermal selective absorption. It generate high heat on the hair follicle and broke the structure of the hair follicle, so the hair can removed.
SHR Painless hair removal device has contact cooling heads. The skin will be cooled at freezing point. So, the heat only do treatment on hair follicles and it can spread from the epidermis. In these cases, the skin will not be damaged, and you can avoid heat injury and does not feel any pain.
Hair removal-808nm semi-conductor diode laser hair removal
808nm wavelength has effective penetrating depth. It can reached target organization (hair nipples). The proper pulse width guarantees enough heat injury at target organization, without hurting around organization.
Proper energy density provides enough strong of energy output, it damage target organization and without hurting normal organization in suitable of time. With proper epidermal protection, it guarantee the enough target organization and no effect on the epidermal. Thus it guarantees the security.
Besides, at a rather lower energy density, the diode laser hair removal device heat the hair follicles to 75 degrees or above. With sliding treatment for some time, the heat will solidify the hair follicles inactive, so as to achieve the goal of permanent hair removal.

At the end of April last spring, our area was hit with a major windstorm. The weather had been consistently rainy for some days before the storm, and the ground was saturated with water. During the storm two big pine trees on our road allowance were pulled up by the roots and deposited across the phone and hydro lines, breaking the lines and leaving us phoneless and in the dark.
Phoneless, because we live in a very rural area where there is no cell phone coverage. We have cell phones but we can't use them here. Well, if I stand on a kitchen chair by the back door and hold the phone over my head, I get a weak signal. Sometimes. We are the last house on both these lines and so the crews usually reach us quite late.
A neighbour phoned the outage in to Hydro and next day I drove the fifteen minutes to our local village where, if I park at the Town Hall, I get a signal. I tried to phone in our telephone outage, but because I was using my cell phone to make the call, I got the cell phone repair. God knows where the woman was who finally understood that I wanted to talk about my land line, but after a long wait while my cell phone battery got lower and lower, I finally reached a person who said that it would be repaired. Ah.
Meanwhile JG got out the tractor and the chainsaws and we cleared the trees off the road and the downed lines. The next day the huge hydro crane trucks appeared and put our power line back on the poles. Great service because the road dips just this side of the pole and the ground was pretty spongy. This is a photo of the road that, although it does not show the dip well, does show the location of the pole. The next pole is 90º left and on our land. Where I am standing is in the turning circle at the end of the township maintained piece and the trail you see is a gravelled strip put in by neighbours.
Here is the next to last pole. See the hydro line way up top? The saggy thicker line below it is the telephone line. The Bell repair crews showed up just after the Hydro trucks but they decided not to take the heavy trucks up to the last pole because the road was too spongy and, in fairness, the Hydro crew had chewed it up quite a bit. What they did do was reconnect the switch box and lay the lines out along the ground. So, we had telephone service. We figured they would be back when the ground dried up but time passed and the crew never came back.
In spite of my repeated calls to Bell service, as of this writing, on November 2nd, the lines remain looped along the ground. Bell has sent someone out three times now, at my repeated and ever more urgent requests. Each time the someone has been a single technician in a van. Each time the technician promises to report it and send out the big trucks. This has never happened.
Here is what our telephone line looks like.
Leaving me standing on a kitchen chair, shouting, if I want to access the outside world. Or, I can drive into the village. Curses.
I am not happy with Bell.

Genetics and Epigenetics of Psychiatric Diseases
Psychiatric diseases have a highly complex etiology, aggregating in families but not segregating in a traditional Mendelian manner. Recent approaches to understanding the causes of psychiatric disease have focused on describing the genetic contribution to major psychiatric illnesses; the use of large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and exome sequencing has enabled a systematic exploration of genetic risk factors and identified over 100 independent genomic loci significantly associated with psychiatric diseases; however, there remains uncertainty about the causal genes involved in disease pathogenesis, and how their function is regulated. Since many GWAS variants reside in non-coding regions, the disease-associated common variants might be enriched in regulatory domains, including enhancers and regions of active chromatin state. These lead us to focus on the possible role of non-sequence-based genomic variation in health and disease. Of particular interest are epigenetic modifications that regulate gene expression through modifications to DNA, RNA, histone proteins, and chromatin. The availability of high-throughput profiling methods for quantifiying epigenomic modifications in large numbers of samples has enabled us to perform epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) aimed at screening methylomic variations associated with environmental exposure and disease. Thus systematic integration of genetic, epigenetic and epidemiological approaches will contribute to improving our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying disease phenotypes.
IPGGS Research Topic welcomes contributions from genetic and epigenetic perspectives covering novel approaches to studying the phenotypes and the herterogensity of psychiatric diseases, including, but not limited to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and major depression, as well as various methodological and statistical approaches to disease association with genetic or epigenetic variants, including SNV, CNV, non-coding RNA, 6mA, or 5mC/5hmC. etc. Relevant animal models and in vitro human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) studies are welcomed as well.
All type of articles may be submitted for this Research Topic. Submissions can be done either at Editorial tracking system or through mail to email@example.com

Joan made the photo shoot both comfortable and enjoyable. She gave clear directions about how to be prepared for it. During the shoot, which included many photos of many types, her suggestions for how to pose comfortably made the photos so much more effective.

Toto, this isn't Oz: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
"Mom!" my sophisticated 22-year-old said to me, "I can't believe you recommended that movie!" "It was a thumbs-up for 'stupid fun,'" I said. "Well," he grumbled back at me, "I can agree with you about the 'stupid' part."
OK, so Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is not great cinema. I like to think that Kerry Conran knows that; if he doesn't, the de Laurentiis tribe, who are all over this film, certainly do. This movie isn't intended to be great cinema. It revels in its formulas: the bickering lovers, the plucky blonde bombshell, the tough-guy hero, the over-wrought segues, the comic-book machinery. If the formulas were all there were to it, Sky Captain would be a giant bore. (By the end of the movie, I was so annoyed with that blonde bombshell and her stupid camera that I could not for the life of me figure out why the Sky Captain was interested in her.) Plot and character are not the reasons to see this film.
As Linda rightly points out, the eye-candy is irresistable: this is a beautiful movie, full of fun stuff to look at. Imagine a thirties-noir film set in Fritz Lang's Metropolis, inhabited by comic-book people and robot monsters (hmm, or robot people and comic-book monsters? I'm not sure). It's one heck of a moving, talking picture book.
On another level, it's a parlor game for film buffs and Oz-ophiles. The references to The Wizard of Oz of 1939 go far beyond the clip early in the film and the music at the end (think, "I am Oz, the great and powerful" when you see the face of Sir Laurence Olivier, for instance.) But there are also references to the later Oz books which will delight those who always preferred the books to the movie, great as it was.
So yeah, it isn't great cinema -- but it's fun, it's pretty, and when it comes out on video, I'll probably rent it to see if there are some Oz references I missed the first time.
But there are movies I'd rather have seen. The first is the back story they alluded to again and again: what happened in Nanking? I'd like to know more about Joe and Frankie's fling, and I'd like to see pretty Polly cut that fuel line, if she did (I'm not convinced she'd have been able to find it.) Why is Frankie so attached to Dex that she'd put her troops and her career on the line to rescue him?
And there are some truly troubling aspects to this film. The women in the film boiled down to a dumb blonde, an Asian bad-babe martial artist, and Frankie, the one character who did something interesting with a stereotype (but she doesn't get the guy, and her plotline goes nowhere.) The bad guys were cast from Xenophobia central, with a tad of anti-intellectualism thrown in.
Upon reflection, I'm giving this film a thumbs-down. I wanted to see the other stories referred to, and neglected, in this one. It would have been so much fun to see the gorgeous artwork employed to tell the backstory in Nanking, or an adventure tale about Frankie (and Linda, did you catch her resemblance to the Ivanova character in Babylon 5?) I want to see the army of artists employed making something not just pretty, but something great.
So yeah, Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore. But it isn't Oz, either.

Thought exercise: Imagine Romeo and Juliet. Next, Bonnie & Clyde. Next, Thelma & Louise.
OK. Now, reimagine all these doomed romantics on the same plate, add a dollop of Showgirls, a side of Dirty Dancing, a Scarface chaser and many, many, many Dukes of Hazzard car chases, and you have Kites, a Bollywood musical/gangster/melodrama romance in Hindi, Spanish and English.
Preposterous? Oh, yeah. Preposterously entertaining? You bet.
The principal attractions of this film are its gorgeous stars, Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan and Japanese-Uruguayan-Mexican bombshell Bárbara Mori, who have matching jade-green eyes and pearly smiles.
He is J, a Vegas salsa instructor fluent in Hindi. She is Linda, an illegal alien from Mexico who steals his heart. Both are engaged to the spoiled children of an Indian American casino mogul who makes Scarface look benign.
Tonally, the film from director Anurag Basu has more personalities than Sybil. Basu strictly observes the B-movie convention of giving the audience an embrace, explosion, or chase sequence at regular intervals. If you don't like the genre, wait three minutes.

'Study' in Study Abroad
Written by Sam May 30, 2017
Classes are in full swing, and they are not a joke. There really is a 'study' in 'study abroad.' In my economics classes we get to take field trips to companies that have local branches. This opportunity isn't usually offered during full semester courses on my home campus. It provides an opportunity to directly apply what we are learning in the classroom. The real world application of classroom topics is invaluable in internalizing and understanding the material. For example, while going over foreign currency, we talked about converting our USD to Euros, and it helps break the complicated parts of the subject matter down. Since the classes are only for a few weeks, these company visits really bring the material we cover in class together.
The two factories we went to were very different. One is a family-owned food packaging company, and the other produces the trigger mechanisms for spray bottles. They were very candid, had valuable presentations, and answered all of our questions. Afterwards, I felt as though I had a good understanding of each company's operations and how it directly relates to what we covered in class. Each visit we went on was very interesting and engaging!
Trying to focus on schoolwork while in Italy can be very distracting, but studying in groups has helped a lot. The classrooms being open 24/7 and the picnic tables outside make for great places to meet up! Especially if your study buddies are from other schools, they always have something new to explain about the subject.

"What do you read for fun?" This question sounds very strange to me, as if normal reading implied an obligation and hard, hard work and only sometimes you could allow yourself to read something for pure fun of it. Almost everything I choose to read I read for pleasure. As for the genre, I don't limit my choices. Fiction, non-fiction, who cares? A book in any genre can be a jewel or disaster.
Many years ago I read Ingmar Bergman's memoirs, Laterna Magica. I still recall some scenes from that book as if I saw a movie or witnessed a real-life event or maybe even lived through the Swedish director's experience, so vivid was his writing, so palpable were his joys, pains and fears.
Some fiction books, on the other hand, can be pretty boring even in their attempt to entertain. I remember how once I borrowed a 'humorous crime story'. It was the most tedious read in my life. I noticed the author's desperate efforts to make a joke here and there and to leave an intriguing hint about the big question, 'who stole the apple pie?', but I couldn't squeeze a smile out of myself so flat and tasteless was it all. I don't remember anything about this story, not even the title, the only thing that stayed with me was the regret that I opened the book.
It's not the genre, I assume, that makes a book good or bad, exciting or deadly boring. It's all about the talent an author has or, unfortunately, hasn't. That's where the big border lies that divides reading into fun and disappointment. All the rest is insignificant; at least, that's how I see it.

Home >> Bad Credit Loans >> Business
Loaners need borrowers to stay in operation. The truth that the usa sports so many With No Guarantor informs us that the majority of people also are borrowers. It makes me genuinely believe that the industry is not going anywhere any time soon.
The UK does not lack for With No Credit Check, big and small. What she lacks are people intuitive enough to borrow loans and become best off for this. You need to understand them how so lots of people are trapped in the cycle that they cannot break far from, since they won't see how to split away from the stereotypical drag of being unsure of what you should do with a loan from a lender.
You do have a quantity of real needs even as we all do, but you need to know which they warrant that loan before unsecured loans for people with bad credit no brokers to service them. In addition, you can observe that the mortgage can perform spending money on itself. Anything in short supply of that defeats the purpose of the borrowing.
You might take an individual loan for a crisis; anyone would understand that. Except which should have experienced short term loans for bad credit no brokers to manage that in the first place. Whatever the case, however hard you try, you may be bound to come calmly to those times when that loan could be the only thing that can bail you out. Be grateful that the facilities are as near by as they are today.
There are instances when that loan might suffice for paying down your financial situation, but bad credit loans no credit check direct lender are also instances when they won't do well for the. It's all your responsibility, really; how you intend to spend your loans, what you want to do together with them. I might only claim that you make sure your life is much better for it, and absolutely nothing less.
I will never advice which you take that loan to pay off your credit cards. As far as I am concerned, this is certainly one loan to pay for another, and you get to remain in the exact same rat race. If you will need a loan, make sure it breaks you away from the race, not dig you deeper involved with it.
What your loan will be employed for ought to be determined prior to you even file for bad credit loans guaranteed approval direct lenders. It could be irresponsible for this to stay in virtually any way, unless what you are trying to do so actually bury yourself deeper with debt. I believe it is possible to realize that.
One reason why I get very happy when I remember the world-wide-web is the speed that one may submit an application for and obtain a cash advance online. I still remember the difficulty inherent in enabling off line cash advance those days.In this Internet era, you may get online advance loan faster than you ever thought possible.
Without a stable job, you might decrease your odds of getting any kind of cash advance loan, especially a 30 second loan. The cash advance companies wish to be sure that you are someone that may repay the mortgage you receive. People with a jobs for at least 3 months have higher likelihood of getting 30 seconds cash advance payday loans.
When thinking of getting the most popular 30 second approval pay day loan, it is necessary so that you can realize that the 30 second approval payday loan is not meant for need cash bad credit loans. Except you will be a monthly wage earner, you simply can't get 30 second approval payday loan.
In the United Kingdom can help you nearly every kind of cash loans for bad credit under the sun. It is possible to get loans with or without equity, long- or short-term, big or small bucks. With all of those facilities at your service, you have got a job in your hands understanding how to take advantage and making the best of it. However if you will progress, you must find out how to. There's two critical things you will need to bear constantly in mind about a cash loans bad credit direct lender before you even think to take one. The foremost is that you don't want that money you might be borrowing to waste; the second is that you don't like to owe because of the time you will be done with this venture. Allow them to end up being your guidelines whenever you borrow, and you also might surprise yourself by striking rich.
A a vacation in the Bahamas is not any small achievement, physically, psychologically or on a financial basis. On an emotional level you are going to get a lot of relief; physically you will be going quite a distance; and financially, well you will be doing some spending so you might need to borrow. No harm in that.
Whatever your reasons for borrowing, it have to be debt consolidation loans for bad credit UK. You can find just too many items that could make a mistake, such as for instance another expense cropping up, or perhaps you suddenly being not able to come up because of the money to cover back. Whenever you borrow, make sure that your reasons can be worth that risk factor. Everywhere you determine to go shopping for a loan, you will find loads of lenders ready to be at your beck and call. This should ensure it is possible for you to select the type you are thinking about. In this wise, you will need not be in a hurry to rush out and get both hands from the loan; you need to now settle in and work out of the logistics from it in order to still do it. That's how exactly to not make a botch of it.

Gary Van Atta is entering his fourth season as the head coach of the women's basketball program in his second stint at the University.
Van Atta, a Class of 1999 inductee in the Montevallo Athletics Hall of Fame, compiled a 166-49 record over seven seasons in his tenure at Montevallo from 1989-96. All six of the Falcons' 20-win seasons occurred under Van Atta, including a program best 28-7 record during the 1993-94 season.
"An opportunity to bring Coach Van Atta back to Montevallo to reinvigorate the program is an opportunity that doesn't come along very often," said Montevallo Athletic Director Mark Richard. "He not only coaches student-athletes on the court, he helps develop the total person off the court."
After guiding the Falcons to five consecutive trips to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) National Tournament, including four Elite Eight appearances and two Final Four appearances, and a Gulf South Conference East Division Championship in the school's provisional year as a NCAA Division II member, Van Atta left Montevallo to take the head coaching position at NCAA Division I University of Tennessee-Martin in 1996.
Van Atta became the winningest coach in the history of the UT-Martin program, as well, highlighting his eight-year tenure at the school by leading the Skyhawks to a victory over Ole Miss in the NCAA Division I Women's National Invitation Tournament in 1999. Van Atta, who guided the UT-Martin program from 1996-2003, was named the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year in 1998 and led the Skyhawks to the OVC Championship in 1999.
Van Atta has spent the past 11 season as the head coach at his alma mater, Trevecca Nazarene University, following his stint at UT-Martin. During his tenure at Trevecca Nazarene, Van Atta guided the Trojans to back-to-back Elite Eight appearances in the NAIA National Tournament and led the program to its first appearance in the National Championship game in 2008. Van Atta also guided the Trojans to back-to-back Great Midwest Athletic Conference Championships following the school's transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II.
Van Atta has coached more than 100 NAIA District Scholar-Athletes and 22 NAIA National Scholar-Athletes during his coaching tenure.
Van Atta graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University with a bachelor's degree in physical education and history in 1979. Van Atta earned his master's degree in educational administration from Tennessee State University in 1989.
