Frequently Asked Questions:
Who can play Youth Rugby?
Everybody! Young boys and girls are introduced to rugby via "tag rugby" (2 hand touch), a non-contact version of the game. Tackle rugby is also offered. Watch this 5 minute video on youth rugby.
Touch Rugby? What's the point?
Rugby is a flowing game of continuous movement, similar in this respect to basketball or soccer. The point is to keep the ball alive, moving it forward by running and passing. This is a much more important aspect of the game than big hits, at all levels of the game. Touch rugby preserves this flow in a way that allows girls and boys, and kids of wider age ranges, to play together. Many adult teams play touch rugby as part of training.
What age groups play touch rugby?
Touch rugby is coed and divided by grade - PreK-K, 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th. 3rd and 4th graders have the option of playing touch or tackle rugby.
Age groups for tackle?
Most clubs within Rugby Virginia start offering tackle rugby to 3rd and 4th graders. We also offer tackle teams for 3rd and 4th graders, 5th and 6th graders, 7th and 8th graders, HS JV and V boys and MS and HS girls.
When is the youth season?
The spring season is tackle only and practice begins in January. Games run from March to May. The season ends with a state tournament in May.
Our summer season offers both touch and tackle teams and starts practicing in May. Games are in June and July. The season ends with a state tournament in July.
What equipment do I need?
Rugby players will need cleats (soccer style is best). Rugby game shorts, socks and mouthpiece will be given to all players once registered. Team owned jerseys are provided for all games.

Angus Macinnis, Director of Dispute Resolution at Stevens Vuaran Lawyers, discusses the recent District Court of South Australia defamation case of Johnston v Aldridge [2018] SADC 68 where the Plaintiff won damages assessed at $100,000, including aggravated damages, after the Plaintiff argued the Defendant was liable for defamatory statements made by other Facebook users who commented on the Defendant's original post.
To avoid social media liability, it's likely that you DO have to read the comments
"Never read the comments" is often said to be one of the cardinal rules of the Internet – indeed, if you need reminding of the importance of the rule, the Internet will helpfully supply you with T-shirts and cross-stitch patterns so that you don't forget.
However, whenever there is a rule, there will be exceptions which prove the rule. One important exception is that if a business allows comments on its website (or has a Facebook page which allows comments to be posted) it seems that someone will have to read the comments to identify (and if necessary, remove) comments. The reason for this is that even where the business is not the author, comments can give rise to legal liability for the business.
Case of defamatory Facebook comments
The point has been illustrated in a recent South Australian case involving a claim for defamation arising from Facebook posts. The plaintiff not only relied on what the defendant had posted on Facebook, but also relied on defamatory statements made by other Facebook users who commented on the defendant's original post.
The plaintiff argued that the defendant was liable for the comments as a "secondary" publisher, because by making the original Facebook post, the defendant had "participated" in the publication of the comments by creating the occasion for the comments to be made.
The defendant argued that he had no control over the authors of the comments and that "in any event they were so numerous as to make it 'impracticable' for him to remove them". As the printout of the comments ran to some 190 pages, the court did agree that the comments were "voluminous" but held that although "considerable inconvenience might have been involved", the inconvenience was "not so great as to make it unrealistic or unreasonable" for the defendant to monitor the comments, particularly as the evidence showed that the defendant recognised that the original post might attract "inappropriate comments". By making such a post, said the court, "the defendant must be taken to have accepted the responsibility to monitor [the comments] and remove those which were inappropriate or suffer the consequences irrespective of the inconvenience involved".
The defendant also argued that deleting comments might have created a backlash against the defendant's views. This argument received short shrift from the court, with the court explaining, "that it was politically inexpedient from [the defendant's] point of view to delete the comments can be accepted, but political expediency on its own provides no defence to secondary publication."
Application to businesses on Facebook
The same answer would be given to a business which decided that it was "commercially inexpedient" to delete posts made by customers on Facebook or a website in case that created a backlash against the business. (The underlying dispute between the plaintiff and the defendant had both commercial and political aspects, but the case would have been decided the same way had the dispute involved ordinary commercial statements).
Of course, the fact that businesses can be liable for statements posted by customers (or other people external to the business) on their Facebook pages is not new. In 2011, the Federal Court of Australia considered the issue of who had "published" Facebook and Twitter posts in the context of considering whether a company called Allergy Pathway had breached prior orders of the Court which prevented the company from making misleading statements.
Although the Facebook and Twitter posts had apparently been posted by customers of Allergy Pathway, the Federal Court found that because Allergy Pathway had knowledge of the posts, and also the ability to remove the posts, Allergy Pathway had "published" the posts (even if it had not authored them). To that extent, the recent South Australian case simply extends liability for publication from posts made by others (as considered in the Allergy Pathway case) to comments made by others as well.
Lessons for online publishing
The lesson in all of this is that laws which apply to publishers (which include not just the defamation or misleading and deceptive conduct examples discussed here, but also intellectual property laws and anti-discrimination laws) apply just as much on the Internet, and just as much on social media platforms, as they do to traditional publications.
If your business is using social media for promotion, then your business is in the business of publishing, and if your business does not know much about the law of publishing, you should make it your business to find out. Although liability for secondary publication can be avoided if a publisher "does not know, and could not with the exercise of reasonable diligence have known" of defamatory publication, the need for "reasonable diligence" means that ignorance is much more likely to be expensive than it is to be bliss.
Perhaps the last word in all of this belongs to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who is reported to have said, "I paint things as they are. I don't comment. I record." Would sticking to painting, rather than posting on social media, be a good approach to managing liability? For the record, we regret that we must answer that question with a firm, "no comment".
Angus Macinnis has a broad commercial practice with a focus on dispute resolution, and in particular, on employment and work health and safety law, and intellectual property law. He advises employers and employees on all aspects of employment law, from drafting contracts and employment policies, to dealing with employment related disputes, to dealing with employment and safety regulators.
He has a particular interest in the employment law aspects of social media use and has published in this area in publications including the Law Society Journal, The New Lawyer, and the Internet Law Bulletin, as well as providing regular contributions to AHRI's HRM Online website. He is a regular speaker at conferences for MCLE providers including the Law Society of New South Wales and the University of New South Wales and also provides training to employer clients in areas including anti-discrimination law.
In the intellectual property area, Angus advises in relation to copyright and trade mark disputes, as well as "trade dress" and passing off disputes. Contact Angus at [email protected]

"Sometimes it will feel impossible to make your dreams come true. Never give up no matter how complicated things are."
Check out the interview with ShadyDre exclusively on Skilly Magazine Online.
Skilly: Tell us where this all began. What is your history in the music scene?
ShadyDre: Growing up has been somewhat difficult. My parents split up when I was 6. My mother left Virginia and resided in Michigan. Things have always been rough, we never really had money and I wasn't very popular. I always listened to Eminem and wanted to be like him, so I decided I was going to make music. I have been encouraged by friends and family. So I will continue to make music and succeed.
What are the best ways to promote yourself as an artist? Any tips you can give us?
Social media is one of the best ways to promote yourself. It's not easy work, but if you want your music out there you have to do it. Also asking friends and family to back you up and share your work. Always message people and ask them to check out your music. Ask politely.
What do you ultimately want to become in your career?
A humble, yet successful artist. I want to make a career out of it so it can be my job so I can help my family out. Possibly help my parents retire. Also help some other family members out so they don't struggle financially.
What is the hardest thing about being in the music business?
It's not writing the lyrics or making the songs. The downright hardest thing about the music business is getting noticed. You have to be good to get noticed. You also have to know how to properly promote yourself. After all, it's about getting noticed. You can't get a record deal without getting noticed.
What is it like in your city? What is the music scene like, and how is it like living there overall?
It's a very small town. It's actually considered a village. There isn't a lot of people that are trying make it into the music industry in my town. My friend is just starting his first tour. He just performed with Riff Raff in Indiana. It's a nice little town here, but it's not the place to get noticed.
What are some of advice you can give and share to other artists who are still trying to come up?
Things are going to get hard. Sometimes it will feel impossible to make your dreams come true. Never give up no matter how complicated things are. Opportunities will open up and get shut down just as fast. Don't let that discourage you as hard as it is not to. Always strive to complete your goals.
What is the best thing that's ever happened in your career?
As of now Skilly Magazine is the best thing that has happened. It's what I needed for the next step in my career. It also brought me out of a little funk. Sometimes when you don't expect anything is when something good happens.
What is your inspiration?
Eminem has always been an inspiration to me. His music has got me through a lot in life. Token, who is starting to get very popular, has really been starting to inspire me. His music is great. Sometimes I get inspired just from hearing my track when I get it back from the producer. The joy I get from my music when I hear it is hard to express.
Do you feel anyone can be successful now in today's world of music?
Yes and no. There are some terrible artists out there that are really famous/popular when they shouldn't be. Sometimes it can really bring you down when you see 15 year old kids making millions in the music industry especially when you're 21 and no one knows who you are.
Where can we find you on social media?

Methamphetamines have grown to be a huge problem throughout the United States, even in Georgia. The drug is often concocted in homemade labs that are known for their toxic fumes and tendency to catch fire or explode. While such a production often goes undetected in individual homes, it is hard to imagine how one could be ignored in a nursing home.
A methamphetamine lab located in a nursing home recently caught fire and injured several people, killing at least one. The fire sent three residents and two non-residents to the hospital, including the suspected builders of the lab. One of the non-residents has since died.
Authorities have not determined how the suspects built the meth lab and how it remained undetected by nursing home staff. They believe at least one resident reportedly knew about the apparatus. The meth lab was housed in a resident's room.
The law requires that health care facilities, including nursing homes, provide a certain level of care. At the very least, this means that a care facility has to maintain a clean, safe environment.
When a nursing home fails to meet its standard of care – whether due to negligent staff, theft or outright abuse – the facility may be liable for any damages caused by the failure. Prior to the fire, the state had issued numerous citations to the nursing home for poor quality care and unsafe conditions.
Poor nursing home conditions may be so prevalent because it is usually not as overt as a meth lab explosion. Negligence and abuse can be difficult for outsiders to notice and hard to prove until serious consequences result.
A person who suspects that a loved one might be suffering from abuse in a care facility may benefit from consulting with an attorney who knows what signs to look for. After all, nursing home residents have the right to live well and in a safe environment, free from neglect and abuse.

My husband and I spent this last December in a rented house in the south of Spain. Over the holidays we also had some family members visit us. So we rented a car and did some really fun day trips. One of these was to Gibraltar. Let me tell you all about it. Gibraltar's unique history makes it a very special spot that shouldn't be missed. Gibraltar has been British since 1830, and according to legend, will remain such as long as the monkeys remain on the rock. Apparently at some point during WW 2 due to an illness there were only 7 monkeys left. So Winston Churchill with everything else he had going on just then ordered in some more monkeys. Well, it worked, I guess, there are still monkeys and the Rock is still British.
Arriving by car you cross the border and then you have to drive across the runway of the airport. This will soon change, I think, later this year there will be a tunnel available. I enjoyed hearing about the procedure of what needs to happen when a plane comes in. 25 mins before the landing they block traffic first to pedestrians, shortly after to cars. Then the runway has to be cleaned. It's very short and only pilots with a special license are allowed to land there. If conditions are such that they can't land on the second attempt they get diverted to Malaga. Anyway, no planes the day we were there, so it's all hearsay.
Of course we have been living on lovely Spanish food and wine for quite a while now so we decided we were ready for a dietary change. Here in Gibraltar you can get all the traditional English foods like fish and chips and steak and kidney pie along with British brown ale. We arrived midmorning and our earlier continental breakfast had quite worn off so we felt up to the full English breakfast.
To get to the top of the Rock you can take the cable car and then walk around up there to explore the sights on your own. A great alternative to this is Gibraltar Sightseeing which is operated by the cab drivers of Gibraltar. We went in a minibus with another family. The driver spoke fluent English and Spanish and who knows how many other languages and told us all kinds of entertaining stories as he showed us around. The cost is €35 per person which includes tickets to all the sights as well as trasportation. These cab drivers all have a special relationship with the monkeys, so you are guaranteed great pictures!
All about the monkeys: They are berber monkeys that were brought over from Africa by the Moors and are the only wild monkeys in Europe. They are looked after by a team of 20 professionals who ensure that they have a healthy diet (no bananas by the way, their high sugar content can cause diabetes, who knew?) The monkeys also get vaccinated and the population is kept around 300 individuals. No monkeys are killed in this though. If there are too many some adults are sterilized.
First stop on the sightseeing tour is the Pillars of Hercules viewpoint at the southern tip of the Rock. From here you can see across the Strait of Gibraltar to Marocco. The day we were there you couldn't see it very clearly and the Strait was rough so it was closed to ships. The water is beautiful here, due to the different depths of the water and different sea floors. There are so many colors from purple to green. On the tour you have about 20 minutes at each stop, then it's back into the minibus again.
The second point of interest is St Michael's Grotto, a limestone cave with stalagmite and stalactite formations, these are lit up in changing colored floodlights. It's also used for events.
The third stop was our absolute favorite, Monkey Rock. There is a feeding station for the monkeys here, so they are always hanging around this area. These little guys are quite well behaved for monkeys, though our driver was concerned about them getting into the van. They are definitely little pros when it comes to posing for photos. They know the routine; if they behave they get a vet approved snack and everybody is happy. We didn't want to leave but of course the next group of tourists is not far behind us.
Last stop on the tour is a viewpoint on the northend of the Rock. From here you can see the Bay of Gibraltar (Atlantic Ocean) on the left and the Mediterranean Sea on the right with the narrow strip of land which is Gibraltar in the middle. There are also some old military installations here. These days there are only a few hundred military personnel remaining here. Gibraltar's economy is based mostly on tourism and online gambling.
After our tour, we strolled through the historic town center for a while and found ourselves a delicious hot chocolate. The town is not big. There are only about 35 000 residents as well as about 15 000 workers thst cross the border every day from Spain. The old town reflects the history of the place. You can see Moorish and Spanish influences as well as uniquely British touches, an intriguing mixture of styles.
Our visit comes to its end too soon. Hopefully you will enjoy Gibraltar as much as we did.

text: The two-state solution is long overdue, said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday, hours ahead of the Palestinian bid to upgrade its status to a non-member state at the General Assembly."Achieving the two-state solution, to which both Israel and the Palestinians have committed, is long overdue," Ban said in a message marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.He stressed the need to urgently ramp up efforts to reach a solution, on the part of the international community, as well as Palestinian and Israeli leaders."I call on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to show vision and determination. I also urge the international community to help them forge a credible political path that will meet the legitimate aspirations of both sides."Addressing the recent Egyptian-brokered truce between Israel and Hamas following Operation Pillar of Defense, Ban stressed the importance of upholding the cease-fire agreement."The outlines of an agreement have long been clear, laid out in UN Security Council resolutions, the Madrid principles – including land for peace – the Road Map, the 2002 Arab Peace initiative and existing agreements between the parties," he said. "What is needed now is political will and courage, as well as a sense of historic responsibility and vision for younger generations."The UN chief also urged Israel to halt settlement building in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, saying just activity "is contrary to international law and the Road-map, and must cease. Unilateral actions on the ground will not be accepted by the international community."

About $8 billion needs to be invested annually in providing potable water in Nigeria, if the country must achieve Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
SDGs Goal 6 aims at ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
An official of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Zaid Jurgi, said this on Tuesday in Jos at a dialogue on water supply and sanitation sector reform project in the country.
The event was organised by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in partnership with the Child Right Information Bureau (CRIB) of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture..
Mr. Jurgi said the amount, to be provided by government at the different levels with support from UNICEF and other private sector players, will help push Nigeria towards providing safe and reliable service on water and sanitation.
Mr. Jurgi, who is the Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) at UNICEF, said with over 60 million Nigerians still lacking access to potable water, more funds must be invested to ensure the access.
He said if the country continues at the present rate of development in the water sector, only about 72 per cent of Nigerians will have access to potable water supply by 2030.
He said access to safe water can save most of the under five children who die annually from preventable diseases, as most of the diseases are caused by poor access to water.
Mr. Jurgi noted that about 88 per cent of diarrhoea cases in Nigeria come from states that do not meet the WASH standard.
He said about 25 per cent of Nigerians practices open defecation without potable water, noting that the figure was more than half the population of Canada.
However, in its effort to achieve Open Defecation Free (ODF) nation, Mr Jurgi said, UNICEF in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Water Resources, will begin a campaign to enlighten Nigerians on the importance of WASH.
Half of Nigeria's over 170 million citizens lack access to potable water. While many in urban areas provide water for themselves by either constructing boreholes or buying water from those who construct, millions in villages still get their water from streams and rivers.
Earlier at the event, the World Bank urged the Nigeria government to invest at least 1.7 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product in WASH as the current investment is below 0.6 percent.

2 Nephi 4:16 Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.
2 Nephi 4:17 Nevertheless, notwithstanding the great goodness of the Lord, in showing me his great and marvelous works, my heart exclaimeth: O wretched man that I am! Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh; my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities.
2 Nephi 4:18 I am encompassed about, because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me.
2 Nephi 4:19 And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted.
2 Nephi 4:20 My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.
2 Nephi 4:21 He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.
2 Nephi 4:22 He hath confounded mine enemies, unto the causing of them to quake before me.
2 Nephi 4:23 Behold, he hath heard my cry by day, and he hath given me knowledge by visions in the nighttime.
2 Nephi 4:24 And by day have I waxed bold in mighty prayer before him; yea, my voice have I sent up on high; and angels came down and ministered unto me.
2 Nephi 4:25 And upon the wings of his Spirit hath my body been carried away upon exceedingly high mountains. And mine eyes have beheld great things, yea, even too great for man; therefore I was bidden that I should not write them.
2 Nephi 4:26 O then, if I have seen so great things, if the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men hath visited men in so much mercy, why should my heart weep and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow, and my flesh waste away, and my strength slacken, because of mine afflictions?
2 Nephi 4:27 And why should I yield to sin, because of my flesh? Yea, why should I give way to temptations, that the evil one have place in my heart to destroy my peace and afflict my soul? Why am I angry because of mine enemy?
2 Nephi 4:28 Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul.
2 Nephi 4:29 Do not anger again because of mine enemies. Do not slacken my strength because of mine afflictions.
2 Nephi 4:30 Rejoice, O my heart, and cry unto the Lord, and say: O Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
2 Nephi 4:31 O Lord, wilt thou redeem my soul? Wilt thou deliver me out of the hands of mine enemies? Wilt thou make me that I may shake at the appearance of sin?
2 Nephi 4:32 May the gates of hell be shut continually before me, because that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite! O Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy righteousness before me, that I may walk in the path of the low valley, that I may be strict in the plain road!
2 Nephi 4:33 O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness! O Lord, wilt thou make a way for mine escape before mine enemies! Wilt thou make my path straight before me! Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way--but that thou wouldst clear my way before me, and hedge not up my way, but the ways of mine enemy.
2 Nephi 4:34 O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm.
2 Nephi 4:35 Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss; therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness. Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen.

Rio Olympics 2016... and Writing?
What do athletes and writers have in common?
a blog written by Sanguine
With all of the hype of the Rio Olympics, it's a great time to share how athletes and writers have a lot in common. And who knows? Maybe the Olympics will inspire you to write some more! But without further ado, here are five ways in which writers are not so different to the olympians.
1. The Race Is On
We have our writing sprints, and our races (NaNoWriMo, anyone?), and we don't want to stop until we have reached the end. And once that race has come to an end, we'll just join another one :)
2. Training
Everything we write is basically us training for something - maybe you're getting ready for NaNoWriMo, or some Movellas competition. Or maybe you want to practice writing until you feel that you think you could be published - whatever it is, you're training for your own olympics.
3. Hard Work and Effort
Have you ever felt completely discouraged with your writing? Like no matter how much you do or how much effort is put into it, you'll never get there, and there will always be someone better? I think we've all felt that, and you can guarantee that some olympians feel that way too - even still, they give it their all and dive in, and you should do the same.
4. We're Different, but Similar
With writing, you have people who have the ability to keep going all day, and some people do writing in short bursts. We have action, adventure, fantasy, romance and more, and even though we are all different in our writing ways, styles and genres, we all write. Olympians have artistic gymnastics, tennis, handball, swimming, and more - and yet they are all there, all working towards a common goal.
5. Our Inspiration
People are inspired by other people. A number of writers might inspire you to complete your first story, or to have a go at writing in the first place - the same goes for olympians. These athletes might have that one - or maybe many - athletes who inspire them to keep going and to stay on track.
In what ways do you think olympians and writers are similar?
Thank you to Sanguine for writing this blog post and designing the banner

Late at night I wonder if you made it Home from your long walk
On streets littered with trash, and mud, and puddles of rain that cars drive through and splash onto you, in shoes with egg shaped holes and worn out soles, they transport you- your body, a stick figure frame swimming in ripped jeans and a patched hoody that—still has a few, small holes—from point A to point B every night. The great mystery. I lay in bed and wonder. I imagine mean dogs with sharp teeth and nasty barks chasing you. I imagine rough people with knives and guns robbing you. I imagine you lost in dark streets with no streetlights or signs to guide you.
I imagine sleek cars whizzing by, and you, unheeded, like a stray dog, wander in the night.

Apple Will Let You Geo-Fence Your Friends
Got an iPhone? Need to keep tabs on people? Want your spouse or boss or pals be notified when you leave work, say, or arrive home? Then the upcoming version of Find My Friends is for you.
The updated app, which will launch with iOS 6 this fall, comes with a geo-fencing feature — that is, you can designate an area around yourself, as small as a building or as large as a state. When you arrive or leave that area, your friends can be notified.
As with all notifications in Find My Friends, this can be set for a limited time only. But we hear some Apple employees are already using this feature to let their bosses know when they're arrived at the office — and even when they've left their house. (After all, it's a long commute from San Francisco to Apple HQ in Cupertino; chances are, you'll be late.)
Call it the 21st century time clock.
Otherwise, there's one major update to Find My Friends: it features the Maps app front and center on your Friends page, a design treatment never given to Google Maps (which Find My Friends used in its first incarnation).
Sources at Apple tell us that decision was deliberate; Steve Jobs, who had vowed to "wage thermonuclear war" on Google, didn't want to give Google Maps any more prominence than was strictly necessary.
It was Jobs, of course, who green-lit development of Apple's own Maps app, a project that is finally coming to fruition.
The late Apple founder also spent a lot of time on the design of Find My Friends, ensuring that the border and stitching on the app looked exactly like a particular notebook he'd bought.
Do you use Find My Friends now? Will you use it if it has geo-fencing? Let us know in the comments.

Garcia, ABS-CBNnews.com Posted at Jan 10 2013 03:31 PM | Updated as of Jan 11 2013 06:13 AM Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Traders flashed the "More Fun at 6,000" on the Philippine Stock Exchange trading floor. Photo courtesy of PSE MANILA, Philippines - Is the so-called "PNoy factor" helping attract more investors to the Philippine stock market? Edward Lee, chairman of COL Financial, believes the local stock market gains are being fueled by President Benigno Aquino's good governance campaign. "If you look at what happened for the last two years, basically the 'daang matuwid', basically governance is an important issue... The country is also like a business. If you have a strong leader, a good leader then automatically you will attract people to invest in the country," he said on ANC's Inside Business, Wednesday. "If it's not a PNoy factor, I don't think we will have these kinds of valuations, 18 times P/E already going forward. The reason is really the trust in the government that the government will do the right thing for us," Lee added. The Aquino government has touted its "tuwid na daan" campaign, saying its good governance and transparency has helped restore investor confidence in the Philippines. For 2013, Lee expects the stock market's gains to continue, albeit at a slower pace. "We should see it about 6,800, 6900... That is an aggressive assumption," he said. The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) has hit fresh all-time highs in the first 6 trading days of 2013, as it neared the 6,100 level. The PSEi is already up 4.5% as of Wednesday. '2013 will be a breakout year' Meanwhile, the Philippine economy is expected to have a breakout year in 2013, according to First Metro Investment Corp. (FMIC) president Roberto Juanchito Dispo. "2013 for us is a breakout year. Stronger GDP growth, we're expecting GDP growth at least 8%, benign inflation, low interest rates, more capital raising, conducive business environment. These will fuel more capital raising in the local markets. We're anticipating the country will get its credit rating upgrade and once that happens we expect more global funds buying financial assets in the country and that will drive interest rates and promote business activity," Dispo said on ANC's Inside Business. The government is optimistic the Philippines will get investment grade this year. Philippine debts are currently rated just a notch below investment grade by Standard & Poor's and its fellow debt watchers Fitch and Moody's. While more funds will flow to the Philippines when it gets a debt rating upgrade, Dispo warned there are some risks. "A credit rating upgrade is not an end-all, be-all thing as far as an economy is concerned. A country must be prepared for such a situation. Massive funds will flow in because global funds can now touch financial assets of the country... The issue there is the absorptive capacity of the country, if the massive funds will just go to the financial system that might lead to an inflated value of assets both financial instruments and real property assets," he said. Dispo said these funds should be redirected to other areas of the economy where it is badly needed, such as mining and infrastructure. "An upgrade can lead to better economic prospects for a country," he said.

As I was preparing this post, I noticed I'm at the 30 day mark on this 90 day Round 6 effort. So, it's officially a "milestone." I'll take it. I need the boost as I'm tired today. Why so tired? Well, I blame it on this "Strength" phase and it's additional demands. Plus, in keeping with the spirit of the season, I did my Atlas warm-up and Stephanies yesterday with a pumpkin, instead of a med ball.
No, not really. I'm not that far gone, yet. But, that would be a funny video clip.
So after a week of doing the Ab Ripper routine 3x/week, it is once again no longer difficult. But pullups remain challenging. An achy core makes everything seem a bit harder. It's interesting though. Even though I'm achy and tired, performance in each of the routines continues to improve. I did that toe-tap on the med ball move yesterday with something approaching "grace." OK, maybe not grace, but I wasn't stumbling and in fear of falling over as I circled the ball repeatedly, toe tapping and changing directions as instructed.
Little things, I know. But it's these small improvements that help me to press on, especially when feeling a bit run down.

Gardner Automotive Communications displays its eight guiding principles right up front (loud and proud) for all to see…both on its website and conference room wall. GAC is nothing if not a company that truly believes it's only as good as the principles that guide it. Over fifteen years ago each principle was thoughtfully selected and carefully defined to become the guiding compass for our business. Today those principles remain unchanged.
But wait! There is at least one more guiding principle that might be surprising to some yet very apparent to the GAC team. It's on the secret menu of guiding principles – the animal-style if you will.
The behind-the-scenes principle is "Be generous" or simply "Give Back". On GAC's weekly meeting agenda it's called "Philanthropy" and it's never glossed over. Every week new ideas for giving are entertained, progress on current programs is reviewed and individual stories about giving are shared.
Giving happens on many levels at GAC and not just around the holidays. Meal cards for the homeless are made available to hand out year round. We've sponsored a chili cook-off contestant, raised funds to help families of kids with cancer and there's a plan in the works to deliver a dream racing experience this year. Not to mention adopting a family for Christmas and delivering a heap of gifts to a single mom and her 3 kids.
These are just some of GACs most recent endeavors and the ideas keep coming. It just shows you don't have to be a Fortune 500 Company to make a difference in your community and the world.

Natural male enhancement products are getting a lot of attention these days.
While there are a number of different supplements available on the market that can help promote natural male enhancements such as VigRx Plus, there's a variety of natural male enhancement foods that can also pack a good punch for things downstairs, and could have you randy and feeling fine with a little help from your pantry.
In this article, we shall take a brief look at these different foods and how they can help men hit their stride in the bedroom.
Top 9 Natural Male Enhancement Foods
Berries such as Acai berries may help guys with erection issues. In particular, these berries are rich in compounds called antioxidants which appear to maintain the health of nerves and blood vessels and prevent their damaged by free radicals.
Blood flow is essential to maintain a sustained erection and therefore these berries might help promote this. In addition, they are also rich in vitamins and other components that might benefit the integrity of blood vessels.
Oily fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. A number of different studies have demonstrated the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids on maintaining the health of the heart and blood vessels. It is known to combat issues that can lead to erection problems. While there are no clear guidelines on how much oily fish needs to be consumed to promote male enhancement, at least 2 to 3 portions a week is often sufficient.
Bananas are a good source of minerals such as potassium. Potassium is essential for the conduction of nerve impulses and contraction and relaxation of blood vessels.
It is well known that low potassium can cause excessive muscle fatigue and can also affect heart function. Bananas and the potassium they provide may benefit the nerves in and the blood flow to your ticker.
Snails and shellfish
Snails have recently become a delicacy. Interestingly, snails are rich in minerals such as zinc which act as strong antioxidants that may promote sexual health. Zinc may also promote sperm health. Shellfish are also rich in protein in addition to these minerals and may help regulate optimal blood flow by promoting health of the blood vessels.
Cabbage is a rich in vitamins C, beta-carotene, potassium and phytochemicals. These might all combat free radicals and assist with good blood flow to the penis. By doing so, it may be an excellent addition to your natural male enhancement diet.
Without referring to them metaphorically, nuts such as almonds are rich in essential fatty acids that might help promote the synthesis of testosterone. This indirectly could have an impact on male libido related sex drive.
In addition to this, they also contain minerals such as zinc and amino acids that help promote blood flow and muscle function.
Garlic is a commonly used food in cooking. It is rich in a compound called Allicin that might help improve circulation to the penis. It also has a number of different health benefits that can enhance energy levels.
Figs are rich in amino acids, a good source of natural male enlargement food, which may promote sexual health.
Ginkgo Biloba
This plant extract is believed to increase libido by promoting blood circulation to the penis.
Conclusion to Male Enhancement Foods
It is clear that there are different kinds of foods that are naturally available that can be efficient male enhancers. However, it is important to remember that consuming only one type of these foods is often not sufficient.
Combination of these natural male enhancement foods as a part of a healthy diet is important to both sexual vigor and overall libido.

The president of the Texas Association of School Administrators, Karen Rue, similarly urged that, "kids deserve transformational, top-to-bottom reform. We need a better understanding of what it costs to educate 5.2 million students." To assist policymakers in ensuring every child is educated enough to command a job paying above the poverty line, the AEI-Brookings Institute, a Washington, D.C. based nonprofit public policy research organization formed a Working Group on Poverty and Opportunity. In its 2015 report, the Working Group recommended policies increasing public investment in preschool and postsecondary education, promoting social-emotional as well as academic skills, modernizing the organization and accountability of the educational system, and closing resource gaps. Education has always been a vital way for Americans to transform their economic circumstances. In a time of rising inequality, increasing the quality of and access to education has the potential to offer improved opportunities for countless American children.

We're reconstructing the ways you can get things done with OSIsoft.
OSIsoft Brings PI System to Amazon Web Services
What We Do
Alcoa's Warrick facility is leading the company in its use of PI System data to provide exceptional insight into its key systems. One of the most critical systems is Power Generation. Warrick uses the electricity generated to both produce aluminum and to participate in the Midwest ISO energy market. Major impacts can be felt if the Power Generation is not closely tracked. To do that, Alcoa commissioned RoviSys to create a custom iPad/iPhone application designed to give full visibility into the state of its Power Generation, as well as related KPI's from anywhere in the world. Mr. Helms will review the app and how it leverages PI System data, as well as give some insight into how it's been received within the Warrick facility, and the impact it's had throughout the company.
Brian is a Power Markets Coordinator at the Warrick Generating Station. He has 26 years of experience in the power generation industry and was a project leader of the Demand Response Project at Warrick Operations.

Botanical Scrub
Pink Sand
Lavender, rosemary and peppermint in this pale green bar with dark flecks of neem leaf. It contains both pumice and ground luffa gourd to provide exfoliation and thorough but gentle cleansing as a hand soap.
So popular as a fragrance that I had to make a bath bar (Citrus Grove) using the same combo – orange peel oil and lemongrass, very sprightly and fresh. This salt soap also has fine pumice stone particles added to it so it's like a soapy pumice stone for the feet. It also is great for very dirty or greasy hands. It's too rough to be a body soap.
Dead Sea Mud Soap
Ethiopian Coffee
This is a spa-type bar with a generous amount of Dead Sea Mud, tea tree oil and activated charcoal. It is a bit grittier than the regular Sea Salt, Simply Salt or Marrakesh, providing more exfoliation and cleansing, but is not as rough as Pink Sand.
Dark brown coffee soap made with Ethiopian Yerrgacheffe coffee beans from a local roaster. We use triple-strength coffee to make the soap and then add coffee fragrance oil and ground coffee to make a gently exfoliating bar – perfect as a kitchen hand soap and gentle enough to use in the shower.
None of my products is intended for the treatment of any medical condition. Please read labels carefully to avoid any known allergens and discontinue use immediately if any irritation occurs.

Our most recent hypnosis and hypnotherapy certification course in Singapore has just ended. And, as I think back on this course, I can't help to think about how it is always such a magical thing as I watch each course, first filled with strangers, get to know each other and become friends. That is how it went this time as well. So it was no surprise when a few tears were shed on that last day.
I am proud of our graduates. They really do work very hard, reading hundreds of pages of material, and listening to hours and hours of lecture, and literally practicing hypnosis day and night! They think I am joking when on the first day I tell them that this is going to be a difficult course and that they will eat, drink, sleep and sweat hypnosis! But they soon learn that I am very serious. Every one of them hung in there and worked through their fears, and became hypnotists that can be proud of the skills that they have learned.
As a result of all of the excitement here about hypnosis, I was talked into offering another course much sooner than I had planned. I was thinking of coming back next December, but I made a deal to return in April 2006, just a few months away. In part, I made this decision in order to fill the demand for hypnosis training, but I also wanted to come back to support our grads. As a result of the training that I have conducted here over the years we now have psychologists, counselors, and professional clergy using our 5-PATH™
(TM) and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® systems. There is even at least one hospital whose social worker department wants all of it's social workers trained in our systems. I couldn't be more excited! But there is also another school here which is going to train all of it's teachers in 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® and The Secret Language of Feelings.
Well, as you can see I have many good reasons to come back to Singapore as soon as possible. If you live in the Asia-Pacific Area, and you know someone who would like to learn more about the professional hypnosis and hypnotherapy programs that we are offering in Singapore, please pass this information along.

Pesticide Disposal
The Sampson County Extension Center in cooperation with North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program, a Non-Regulatory and Cost-Free program, recently held a Pesticide Disposal Event for farmers and gardeners in Sampson County and all of the surrounding North Carolina counties. The goal of the Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program is to assist the citizens of North Carolina by managing and supervising the safe collection and lawful disposal of banned, outdated, or unwanted pesticides.
The NC Pesticide Board adopted governing regulations in 1976 concerning disposal of pesticides. The regulations made it illegal to dispose of pesticides in landfills. This posed a dilemma for farmers and gardeners in need of properly disposing pesticides. From the adopted regulations, NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services developed what is known today as the Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program.
In 1980, with financial support from the General Assembly, the environmental stewardship program was created to provide opportunities for proper disposal of unwanted or unusable pesticides. In 1990, the program changed a bit. Instead of NCDA traveling across counties collecting pesticides from farms and residence, they developed special Pesticide Disposal Collection Days with a partnership among N.C. Cooperative Extension County Centers.
Each year the Pesticides Disposal Assistance Program (www.ncagr.com/PDAP) visits between 40-50 counties to collect unwanted and unused pesticides through this non-regulatory program. This means that a collection day of this kind only happens about once every other year in each county.
N.C. Cooperative Extension of Sampson County recently hosted a Pesticide Disposal Collection Event, where we collected an estimated total of 8,163 pounds of pesticides. This is the second highest collection event for Sampson County since the program began these designated collections in the late 90's.

Not only is Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge an amazing animal rescue, rehabilitation and release organization, but their efforts to educate the community about local wildlife, conservation and our environment is outstanding! From local festivals to educational classes and field trips, the refuge is a "must-see", especially if you have little ones!
Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge is an amazing nonprofit! They do great things here. I'm always so impressed every time I visit or attend one of their events. My kids also love visiting. The animals are well loved and the employees are very knowledgeable about each and every animal. My kids learn something new each time they visit. Not only is it a fun activity to do with the kiddos but also very educational. Keep up the good work!!
I have been involved with Back to Nature for the past 12 years. The staff of people that operate this program are the most passionate and dedicated group I have ever met. They have grown this refuge from a small plot of land next to a junkyard to a big, beautiful facility out near Moss Park. If you have not had the opportunity to visit the refuge, you are missing out on one of Florida's greatest adventures. Take the beautiful drive out to the facility and enjoy seeing the wide array of animals that the Back to Nature team have successfully rehabilitated. You will walk away with a whole new appreciation for our native wildlife.
This is an excellent organization who is passionate about rehabilitating wildlife. They have an excellent staff and volunteer base.
Back to nature staff and volunteers tirelessly work to rehabilitate injured wildlife so that they are able to be released back into the wild. They also tried to educate visitors and children on the benefits of preserving our wildlife resources.
Back To Nature is a wonderful organization with an amazing staff and volunteer group. They put an incredible amount of heart and passion into their mission of rescuing, raising, rehabilitating and releasing over 3,000 animals each year, which is a 24/7 responsibility. On top of this mission, they also serve as a permanent home to the animals that are unable to be released back to the wild due to their injuries. These animals serve as educational ambassadors that Back to Nature uses to educate the public about Florida's native wildlife. Visitors can see these educational ambassadors up close by visiting the refuge and taking a stroll along it's wildlife walk. Community involvement is also important to the organization and they hold many events each year that are designed to bring the community out to the refuge for a variety of fun and family-oriented activities. They even host a farmers market each Saturday morning. Back To Nature is an excellent choice for a local weekend outing! I am lucky to have the opportunity to volunteer for such an amazing group!
Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge rescues over 3,000 animals per year. They teach the community how to interact with nature and about nature. There are animal ambassadors that people can visit and learn about. An amazing organization, well loved by the community, with very dedicated staff and volunteers! Well worth a visit!
Back to Nature is an amazing organization. The dedicated staff and volunteers are absolutely devoted to rescuing, raising, rehabilitating and release injured and orphaned Florida native wildlife. They have a great variety of non-releasable animals known as educational ambassadors that help educate the community about our native wildlife. Take a stroll down the wildlife walk and you can see and learn about other species such as ring-tailed lemurs and even an arctic fox. What a great place to visit.
Dedicated staff and volunteers do an excellent job rehabilitating and releasing wildlife and educating the community about wildlife. They have a fabulous facility located on over 200 acres of conservation land. Where can you go to see a bobcat up close? You can here, they have 2! You can see the animal ambassadors (non-releasable wildlife residents) in their habitats, learn about wildlife, hike to Lake Hart or on the numerous trails on surrounding properties- Eagles Roost and Split Oak. Very family friendly and the kids will love it! I admire their dedication.
Working with animals including exotics for the last 10 years has allowed me to see a wide range of facilities. Back To Nature is one of the top facilities that I have come across in the state of Florida. Their dedication is unsurpassed in the rehab field. There facility is top notch.
I adore this group. They are very knowledgeable and dedicated to rescuing wild animals and releasing them back into the wild. They have a core group of fabulous volunteers and graciously teach schoolchildren about Florida's indigenous wild animals. If I lived closer, I'd volunteer there in a heartbeat.
I brought a baby armadillo in to the rescue yesterday and they took him right away to someone who has had experience with these delicate creatures. Later in the day our dog found his brother and again I drove him out to the rescue and they took him in quickly. I saw hard working volunteers who care very much about the babies and adult animals in their care. This is one of the oldest wildlife rescues in our area and I am thankful they were there for these and the other Spring babies.

Milwaukee area dentist Dr. Tony Cigno outlines the different dental x-rays provided by dentists.
Greenfield, WI — August 18, 2017 — Wisconsin Dentist Tony Cigno recently published an article titled, "What Are the Most Common Forms of Dental X-Rays?"
As Dr. Cigno explains, there are two primary categories of x-rays. These include introral x-rays and extraoral x-rays. He elaborates that intraoral dental x-rays are those taken with the film inside of the mouth. On the other hand, extraoral x-rays are performed with the film outside of the mouth.
Intraoral, he says, are the most common type of dental x-rays performed. In this category, there are bite-wing x-rays, periapical x-rays, and occlusal x-rays.
Bite-wing x-rays focus on the top – or crowns – of the back teeth to help your dentist identify decay there. Like the name hints, you bite down on a wing-shaped device that holds the film. On the other hand, periapical x-rays look at one or two teeth at a time. Finally, occlusal x-rays are 'big picture' x-rays that look at the full arch of either the top or bottom teeth.
Dr. Cigno also talks about extraoral x-rays, explaining that they aren't as detailed as the intraoral type, so usually aren't used in cavity identification or to look at individual teeth.
He also briefly touches on panoramic and digital x-rays in the article, as well.
The entire article can be found here: http://www.cignodental.com/common-forms-dental-x-rays/

Generic Pharma Product Market in the USA Discussed in Kuick Research Market Report Now Available at MarketPublishers.com
02 Mar 2016 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – US regulators are constantly enhancing the current infrastructure for approval of generic drugs. The development of regulations plays a quite important role in achieving higher cost savings without compromising the health of the patients. Thus, the publication known as the Orange Book has been created which lists reference listed drugs (RLDs) and generic drug products approved by the FDA based on effectiveness and safety. Physicians can refer to it before prescribing less expensive alternatives containing the same API. The role of health insurance firms is also being examined in the prescription of generics because they will opt for cheaper alternative with the very same pharmacological efficacy. The developers of generic drugs are likely to benefit from this scenario by way of promoting their medicines as patient-friendly solutions.
Generics have emerged as an essential part of the US pharma industry. Meantime, a number of critics have raised concerns over surging commercialisation of generic meds. Developers of novel drug products are heavily investing in R&D, and the currently available generics are poised to compete with the developers' products in the same category, thus resulting in the loss of market shares. This situation is likely to lead to the aversion amid pharma product developers resulting in lesser innovation and launch of costly drugs. Balance between developers' rights and earnings need to be achieved by regulators in the years to come.
Insightful report "US Generic Drug Market Opportunity Outlook 2020" created by Kuick Research takes a detailed look at the US market for generic drugs. It gives an overview of the performance of the US generic drugs market and sheds light on the advances in the sector; offers information on the so-called Hatch-Waxman Act along with revealing its implications; covers the FDA's review on generic drugs; discusses supportive features of the country's generic drug laws; methods to achieve greater cost arbitrage by generic drugs; looks into the market scenario of generic and branded drugs domestically; unveils the effects of generic drug imports on US economy; describes the role of online pharmacies in the growth of the national generic drugs sector. The report canvases the market dynamics, covers commercialisation challenges, profiles key diseases in the USA, competitive landscape covering the 26 companies, and casts light on the future prospects of the US generic drugs market.

John Cage's Snape Song Books
Song Books (Solos for Voice 3–92) is a collection of short works by John Cage, written and compiled by the composer in 1970.
It contains pieces of four kinds: songs, songs with electronics, directions for a theatrical performance, and directions for a theatrical performance with electronics. Any may be performed by one or more singers.
Song Books was published by Cage in 1970 as three volumes: volume one contained Solos for Voice 3–58, volume two contained Solos for Voice 59–92, and the third volume, titled "Instructions", contains various tables and other materials necessary for performance of some of the pieces.
The work explores a very wide variety of notation systems. Some Solos are given in standard notation, others employ a special brand of notation with circles of different sizes and lines instead of notes, still others are systems of dots and lines, etc. Some are not notated at all: the text is given using different fonts and font sizes for different words, or sometimes changing in mid-sentence.
Certain Solos consist only of instructions to the performer, ie. what he or she should do and how, although these instructions may be rather free (for instance, "Perform a disciplined action" may be an instruction, and according to Cage it does not mean "Do whatever you want", but rather a request to discipline oneself and/or free oneself of one's likes and dislikes.
Most of the texts are from Henry David Thoreau's journals (Volume 3 contains a photograph of Thoreau as material for one of the Solos); other authors whose texts Cage used include Norman O. Brown, Marcel Duchamp, Buckminster Fuller and Marshall McLuhan. For Solo for Voice 91 Cage wrote his own text.
Pictures taken at Britten Studio, Snape on Feb 4 with text from Wikipedia. John Cage's Song Books were performed by Exaudi directed by James Weeks in an open session electronically moderated by students from the University of East Anglia's Music and Electronics degree course and sound artist Bill Thompson. During the sixty minute performance the Song Books were performed simultaneously at different "sound docks" around the Britten Studio with the audience free to move around during the performance in Jonathan Harvey approved fashion. We live in an age where friction-free music (aka smooth classics and smooth jazz) flows effortlessly from composer to performer and then, via various digital networks, to listener and on further into equally effortless oblivion. So what a revelation to hear a live performance of sticky music that forces the listener, as John Cage intended, to discipline themself and/or free themself of their likes and dislikes. Repeated at King's Place, London on March 28th and not to be missed. More on Aldeburgh Music's Britten Studio here.

The Song Books repeatedly use the Thoreau quote of "The best form of government is no government at all."
On reflection that probably would have been a better, but less search engine friendly, title for the post.

I did the lighting for a performance of Songbooks by Singcircle at the Round House once, way back. The design was deliberately perverse, of course. Achieved a memorable review in The Times: 'The lighting would have disgraced a Yeovil discotheque.' Any other connections between Cage and Yeovil?

Hello, thanks for noticing my Tweet! I've posted my review of last night's Kings Place performance here: http://www.theartsdesk.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=3381:exaudi-john-cage-song-books-review&Itemid=27
