When I started skating I almost only jammed, I was told at boot camp that I would be a jammer and since I barley knew what a jammer was, I googled it and then went with it. I was a very very sucky blocker, but I jammed, I was one of the fastest skaters on Jet City after a year, and I was also quite determined. So I skated, skated, skated and mostly jammed. And I didn't particularly love it, but I didn't hate it, it was what I did, I was a jammer, I scored grand slams and I helped my team. At some point the pressure just got to high, I became that jammer that everyone chanted 'grand slam, grand slam, grand slam' for, and I buckled under pressure and I started to feel anxiety every time I slid the star over my helmet.
I got picked up by Rat City, and my jamming time started to diminish at the same rate as my blocking got better and better, I enjoyed killing the other jammer. I realized that I was a very effective blocker, and I did good, I got good feedback on blocking, maybe because people saw me as a jammer that suprised them with blocking skills. I was still expected to go out and jam, and score, score, score when I did, no matter what my pack looked like. I held myself to really high standards, and when i couldn't live up to them, I avoided jamming even more. And it wasn't that I wasn't doing good, I just wasn't doing as good as I felt I should.
I still enjoyed jamming, but my jammer anxiety was just out of hands, and I felt like I was needed more as a blocker. And about the same time as my second home-season came to an end and I was committed to the travel team fulltime, I was never really jamming. The travel team never practiced me jamming and I never stood up voluntarily to jam, I had turned into a blocker over the course of three months.
Don't get me wrong, I really do love jamming, I think it is fun, and I have slowly been trying to get back into it. My current team needs me to jam, and I do it, because I have to. But I still stand on the line questioning myself, always being nervous that I will not live up to expectations. Nowadays I am in many times more effective as a blocker, I am a jammer-killer, I have awareness on the floor and can help my more rookie skaters more on the floor than with a star on my head. I can try to make out jammer look great but I have to work on my offensive blocking, I am not a whipper, but then the question is, am I a jammer??
I can score, I can pass, I do get lead jammer at times, I still hesitate to jam, and only I am the person that can remove the mental block I have for jamming… and I am working on it… but it is hard when you line up against Bonnie Thunders or Suzy Hotrod with Beyonslay or Donna Matrix in the pack, just waiting to kill, kill, kill you…
Isn't derby just great so say!?
And I have already started my plan on how to get into better jammer shape… please follow and give me happy feed-back!

The arrival of the Engineers from DP World in in Berbera ignited protests in the city today.
Follow @Medeshi
The people are protesting against the lease of the port to DP World based in Dubai.
Locals are angry that the Labour and stevedores from Berbera will be deprived of the right to work in the port . Most the people living in Berbera depend directly or indirectly on income from the port .
The fact that the port will be run by a foreign company who could source out their workforce from elsewhere has angered most of the residents of Berbera.
Demonstrators in this video are directly blaming the president of Somaliland for ignoring the calls of the people of Sahil and are against the lease of the port to DPWorld.

2017 SHOWTIME Boxing Marathon Announced | Recap of the Year
In 2017, SHOWTIME delivered 25 nights of live boxing, averaging more than two events per month. SHOWTIME Sports produced 33 world championship fights, 71 live bouts in total, far more than any other network. SHOWTIME produced nearly a dozen bouts pitting a top-10 ranked champion versus a top-10 challenger including four world championship rematches and three world title unifications.
The high stakes yielded high drama and the results were contagious as boxing's best continued to take on their toughest challengers all year long. The elite level of competition has helped end the notion that the best fights somehow cannot be made.
SHOWTIME continues to deliver competitive, meaningful battles in boxing's deepest divisions:
– Six of the top-ranked featherweights have fought on SHOWTIME in the past two years including all of the top-five. Santa Cruz, Frampton, Mares, Selby, Russell.
– There has been a virtual tournament at welterweight on SHOWTIME with six of the top-eight ranked fighters competing regularly and against each other on the network. Plus, the most watched bout of the year was SHOWTIME Boxing on CBS: Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia which garnered the largest audience for a primetime boxing broadcast since 1998. Thurman, Spence, Danny Garcia, Porter, Brook.
– Eight of the top-10 ranked super welterweight/jr middleweight champions and challengers fought on SHOWTIME in 2017 including all of the top-five ranked men. Lara, Jermell Charlo, Hurd, Trout, Lubin.
– At heavyweight, SHOWTIME has televised 10 world championship fights in the past three years, more than any other entity in boxing. Wilder, Joshua, Klitschko, Miller.
Further, SHOWTIME helped pave the way for a resurgence in women's boxing having televised the first female world title fight in nearly a decade (English Language TV) and later delivering the first women's boxing main event in premium television history.
SHOWTIME leads the industry in live streaming. SHOWTIME is the first and only network to deliver two heavyweight world title fights live on YouTube with Wilder-Szpilka, Martin-Glazkov, in 2016. In 2017, the network live streamed four world-class boxing events including the first on Twitter (Broner-Granados, Feb. 18) and last Saturday's championship doubleheader from London.
In all, SHOWTIME Sports offered more than 50 live streams from companion events (press conferences, weigh-ins, interviews) highlighted by those from Mayweather vs. McGregor which have been viewed more than 21 million times… and still counting!
SHOWTIME Sports digital team continues to innovate by producing exclusive online features, helping to illustrate boxing's richest storylines. Click through to sample these digital series.
– FIGHT NIGHT: An intimate portrait of a fighter during his or her seminal moment.
– MUSIC/ENTERTAINMENT: Unique partnerships with music and entertainment giants to expand the reach of the SHOWTIME Boxing brand.
– SPOTIFY: Playlists that bring fans closer to the music that fuels fighters in camp and in the ring.
– RING RESUME: Highlights and analysis of the key bouts in a fighter's career thus far. Written and curated by Steve Farhood.
– THE REVEAL: In-depth, intimate interviews with today's champions.
SHOWTIME has delivered the defining moments thus far of the brightest new stars in boxing—Errol Spence Jr., Gervonta Davis, Claressa Shields, David Benavidez and more.
ShoBox: The New Generation heads into its 18th year as the series continues to deliver on its promise to test the best young talent in boxing. With nine telecasts, 28 bouts in all, ShoBox featured Shields, Regis Prograis, Dmitry Bivol and Ivan Baranchyk in 2017. Also this year, seven fighters including Jarrett Hurd, Spence, Shields and Benavidez earned their first world titles and joined the ever-growing list of ShoBox alumni and alumnae to capture a world championship—now at an incredible 74 champions.
For the first time, SHOWTIME has released the entire year's boxing programming slate. All SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, ShoBox: The New Generation, SHOWTIME Boxing: Special Edition and SHOWTIME Boxing International telecasts—along with the SHOWTIME PPV presentation of Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor—are available now on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND, SHOWTIME ANYTIME and the SHOWTIME streaming service. Plus, we've scheduled a five-night boxing marathon beginning this Monday, Dec. 18, with the presumptive favorite for Fight of the Year—Joshua vs. Klitschko—and continuing nightly at 10p ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME. See below for a complete scheduled.

TopicremIt all started in 1993, when a father and President of a pharmaceutical laboratory, out of great concern for his son Olivier's atopic and dry skin, asked his team to find a formula that could help soothe the child's itchiness and redness. As a result, the pharmacists developed Topicrem Ultra Moisturizing Body Milk. A genuine revolution, this very gentle, convenient and particularly well-tolerated formula was an instant hit with the child. Pharmacists, Physicians and Dermatologists also decided to adopt it. Today, Topicrem continues to develop effective, simple and safe products that ensure skincare and gentle hygiene for the whole family's sensitive skin. 100% MADE IN FRANCE.

Let's have a clear understanding of the term 'Mobile marketing' – It's absolutely not about selling your products or services over mobile, Instead it's about offering a warm experience of your brand through services of Voice Calls, Missed Calls, SMS, Email and Mobile Apps.
It has much to do with understanding mobile usage habit of your target consumers, addressing their requirement and gradually nestling your brand over mobile so that when they look out for your, you'll be right into the spot.
Making things simpler and easy
Let's say your brand has built a mobile app and you need more users through increased downloads. So how about saving them (user) the hassle of searching your app in the app store and instead giving them a missed call number to download the app. Just flash the number over social media & networking sites, as a user discovers and gives a give a missed call, a download link would be sent to him over a SMS. One tap on the link and Voila, you'll have one more user!
We all want things simplified for our customers and that's a great advantage offered by Mobile marketing services. Mobile has changed the way we consume all sorts of online content and thus incorporating Missed call, SMS, & Voice services further enhances the engagement.

The Tradeoffs of Large-Scale Learning
This contribution develops a theoretical framework that takes into account the effect of approximate optimization on learning algorithms. The analysis shows distinct tradeoffs for the case of small-scale and large-scale learning problems. Small-scale learning problems are subject to the usual approximation--estimation tradeoff. Large-scale learning problems are subject to a qualitatively different tradeoff involving the computational complexity of the underlying optimization algorithms in non-trivial ways.

The 49ers and kicker Robbie Gould have finally come to an agreement. The deal agreed upon before today's deadline for franchised players to sign a long-term extensions.
It didn't look like they would come to a deal as Gould earlier in the offseason demanded a trade. Reports were that Gould wanted to play closer to home. I guess in the end 10.5 million guaranteed made San Francisco close to home.

More details on the 49ers and kicker Robbie Gould reaching agreement on a two-year, $10.5 million fully-guaranteed deal that, including an option clause, can turn into a four-year, $19 million deal that includes $15 million guaranteed:https://t.co/M6L9jfQuuU

We gave Gould crap for demanding a trade, but in the end we are happy to have him back.

Today is Cam'Ron's 40th birthday. The rap Calvin Johnson, Cam'Ron is graciously throwing in the towel, dropping off nostalgic cuts like "U Wasn't There" and getting ready for his final album Purple Haze 2, slated to drop sometime later this year. You can't stop the wheels of time, but luckily for humanity, Cam'ron's 2002 hit "Hey Ma" will live forever.
Dudes will be hollering at females until the end of time, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better hollering-at-a-shawty anthem than "Hey Ma." Cam'ron's trusty Dipset lieutenant Juelz Santana, not yet 21 years old and in the prime of his shawty-hollerin' days, takes the first verse before passing off the mic to Killa Cam.
Quotable Lyrics
You a cutie still
And this my down girl too - ain't no groupie deal
We left the movies with Uzis, Suzuki wheels
To the jacuzzi, I tell you, my boo be's real
I mean she do be winnin', Louis spinnin'
Go to the crib, she got the Gucci linen
I see boo be grinnin'
She looked and said: "Cam, I know that you be sinnin"

You'll also cover the major challenges that face human society in the twenty-first century. Alongside subject knowledge, the strength of geography at UCLan lies in the development and application of a range of transferable skills, all of which are strongly sought after by employers. Professional practice and the use of external speakers from a range of professional backgrounds, as well as visits to relevant outside organisations, plays a key part in our teaching strategies. Third-year field trips include destinations overseas. Recent field trips have included opportunities to research such issues as: Maasai ways of life in the Kenyan savannah; urban change in Chinese cities, gentrification in Seattle; first nations and mineral development on Vancouver Island in Canada; and the economics of crofting in the Scottish Highlands. In addition, you'll have the option of spending a semester in other institutions, both European and further afield, with the study abroad scheme. Alongside subject knowledge, the strength of Geography at UCLan lies in the development and application of a range of transferable skills all of which are strongly sought after by employers. Our programmes place a central emphasis on employability and at developing students' transferable skills. Our students go into a range of careers, some of which involve use of subject-specific knowledge, eg. planning, teaching, environmental management, conservation, or development agencies. Others utilise transferable skills, eg resource-based companies, banking, accountancy, retail, local government and management.

And again, I enjoyed the movie. It was very philosophical. And I cannot understand why my sister who is such a good movie critic didn't like this one.
The thing is, the movie is about death. The movie is about how people should accept death as a normal part of being human. In all three segments of the movie spanning three different generations, the character that Hugh Jackman plays is one who is the seeker of eternal life. The conquistador goes to Guatemala to search for the tree that grows from the navel of the earth, whose sap brings forth eternal life. The oncologist is doing research on rhesus monkeys incorporating a serum from the tree in Central America in search for the cure of death, which for him, is just a disease. And the astronaut is on his way to Xibalba, the nebula where he wants to be reborn.
The character that Rachel Weisz on the other hand plays is one who has accepted death. She is not afraid of dying anymore, and has come to terms with it. She is the most peaceful character in the movie.
Which brings the question why plenty of people in this planet are afraid of dying and why a lot of us want to prolong our lives. Some may argue that this urge to live forever is a sign that we indeed have the capability to live forever, but because of sin and corruption, we lost that ability. On the other hand, one can also argue that due to constant indoctrination that we humans once had the ability to live forever but lost it, it may be the cause of why we humans now aspire to live forever even though that is not the statistical norm.
Some people take as an argument the human body's apparent ability to regenerate at the cellular level, that we can heal and therefore in theory, should be able to live forever. But no, that is not the case. Women, when they are born, are already equipped with all the egg cells that they can have in their lifetime. Other biological aspects of being human are also subject to maturational constraints.
Anyway, I guess this movie has such an effect on me that I don't mind watching it again. I can see how this is different from the previous two Aronofsky movies, Pi and Requiem for a Dream, but I never felt that this movie was a flop. Yes, it was somewhat of a departure from the style that he had in the previous two movies that he directed, but I didn't mind that at all. This movie is one of the most philosophical movies I have seen, and I am glad to have seen it.

薄荷脆莓侠is the superhero alter-ego of Bradley Biggle. He is a member of the superhero group Coon and Friends. Crunch plays a significant role in the episode "Coon vs. Coon & Friends".
In the Superhero Arc, Mint-Berry Crunch is a member of Coon and Friends, a superhero group led by the Coon. He initially appears to be an entirely ineffectual member of the group, with the powers of a breakfast cereal mascot, to the confusion of the other members. In "Coon 2: Hindsight", the Coon brutally assaults Mint-Berry Crunch and Mosquito in an attempt to consolidate his influence in the group. However, he is unanimously voted out of the group instead.
In "Coon vs. Coon & Friends", as the group is congregated in the basement of Cartman's house, Cartman returns home and lures them out with the promise of witnessing a "double rainbow". However, it is revealed that Cthulhu, recently released from an inter-dimensional portal in the Gulf of Mexico, is working for Cartman. At the sight of Cthulhu, Mint-Berry Crunch quickly runs away, leaving the other Coon and Friends to deal with the problem themselves. Having escaped from danger, he returns home to "heroically" watch Judge Judy, while the other members of the group are sent to an alternate dimension by Cthulhu.
Meanwhile, after successfully escaping the pocket dimension by committing suicide, Mysterion visits Bradley's sister and her friends, the Goth Kids. Bradley unexpectedly finds him in Henrietta's room when he asks to play with her and her friends. Upon seeing Mysterion, Bradley re-adopts his superhero persona and joins Mysterion in his quest to stop Cthulhu and find out how mint and berries came together to deliver full flavor in an intense crunch.
As Mysterion confronts Cthulhu, a bright light unexpectedly appears and a holographic representation of an alien begins to explain the shocking truth of Mint-Berry Crunch's origin. The alien man reveals that Bradley's true name is Gokzarah, and that he was originally from the planet Kokujon. The alien man then implores him to use his powers to save the Earth. Following this revelation, Mint-Berry Crunch begins to manifest real superpowers, and uses them to defeat Cthulhu and save the other members of Coon and Friends from R'lyeh.
At the conclusion of the arc, Mint-Berry Crunch announces that he must go out into the universe in order to find answers to the many questions that remain, and leaves in a flash of light and cereal, promising to return someday.
His true identity is revealed in the episode "Coon vs. Coon & Friends". Crunch is actually an alien from a faraway planet: Kokujon, known throughout the universe for its berry mines - berries that have the power to fuel nearly anything. In a holographic message from his extraterrestrial father, Crunch learns that his name is actually Gokzarah and he was sent to earth to stop evil from taking over Earth. His power of mint and berries ("yet with a tasty, satisfying crunch") are the result of a collision between his home planet and the world of intense mint flavor.
Mint-Berry Crunch has blond, bowl-cut hair. He wears a cyan t-shirt with three pink berries and a green, pointed leaf presumably painted, airbrushed, or stuck on. He also wears gray pants that are presumably painted or airbrushed green on the left side. His left sleeve has several (presumably) fake, green leaves protruding from it. He wears black shoes, however, one of his shoes is covered by a green, leaf-like article of clothing. Half of Mint-Berry Crunch's face is (presumably) painted to resemble a pink berry. He also has a black stem protruding from the top center of his head. In place of paint, he may be wearing part of a mask to cover his face, however, it's lack of movement when he moves hints that it may be painted on, although this could be attributed to South Park's simple style of animation.
Mint-Berry Crunch was cowardly before realizing he had actual superpowers, even peeing his pants when Mysterion tried to convince Coon and Friends that he had actual superpowers. After he learned he had actual superpowers, he became extremely heroic as well as brave, even confronting Cthulhuwithout hesitation.
Bradley Biggle transforms into Mint-Berry Crunch by spinning in place and saying "Shablagoo!!" His power is stated to be the "the power of mint and berries, yet with a satisfying, tasty crunch!" Being one of only two members of Coon and Friends to have actual superpowers, his power manifests as the power of flight, super strength and the ability to wield mint and berries as weapons. He is also shown to be able to create large pink bubbles which can protect the objects inside.

- 这一角色的出场和地位在系列中被认为是一个给粉丝的大玩笑,因为粉丝们在超级英雄系列中,很期待通过这些剧集了解肯尼的永生能力如何得到。(因此主创们就用另一个超级英雄把这一问题的答案给毁掉了)
- 薄荷脆莓侠并不是一位永生者,因为他没有杀死克苏鲁,只是把它封印回了它的维度去。
- 他获得超能力的方式似乎是在映射超级英雄漫画的神奇队长,这一超级英雄能通过说一声"沙赞!"来获得他超级英雄的外观和超能力。同时,他的旋转动作也影射了神奇女侠。
- 他的外星种裔身份和他被人类养大这一事实影射了超人的起源故事。
- 尽管他和肯尼一样拥有超能力,布莱德利似乎还是能被物理攻击伤害。在被浣熊侠攻击之后,他的脸上留下了明显的伤痕。不过这也未必,因为他在那时尚未开发自己的真实水平。
- Mint-Berry Crunch was added to the short introductory clip played before episodes on South Park Studios, flying in a circle over the usual intro characters while shooting mint and berries.
- A Mint-Berry Crunch comic can be seen in Clyde's bathroom in "Reverse Cowgirl".

Look out, Amazon. Morioka Shoten is here.
A clean, minimalist bookstore in both looks and offerings, the one-room shop in Tokyo's Ginza district contains just a table, desk and chest of drawers. The chest of drawers serves as a counter, while the table is topped with a small stack of books -- all of which are the same. And that's the concept behind this unique shop: a single-room bookstore containing a single book.
Owner Yoshiyuki Morioka, an experienced bookseller, came up with the idea for his new store as a way of enhancing readers' intimacy with a particular book. Each featured tome has the shop to itself for six days. During that time, its theme is enhanced by related artwork and other objects. (For instance, if showcasing a book on flowers, some of the flowers that appeared in the book would grace the store). The book's author and editor also are encouraged to hang out in the store as much as possible during the book's six-day run. All of this, Morioka told The Guardian in December 2015, is intended to make customers feel as though they are being ushered inside of a particular book, and so that purchasing and enjoying a book becomes a "three-dimensional ambience and experience."
His approach appears to be working. In the shop's first seven months of business, Morioka sold 2,100 books with customers stopping in from all over the world.
Morioka developed the concept for his new store during the decade he ran a traditional bookshop. That store typically featured about 200 books, and over time Morioka noticed two things. First, customers often appeared overwhelmed or flummoxed by the number of available titles. And second, whenever he organized book launches, they drew a lot of people. So, if people craved more simplicity in offerings and also liked to gather to celebrate a certain title, why not create a one-book shop to tap into both of these preferences?
Today, with giants like Amazon dominating the bookselling market and e-books on the rise, Morioka's shop might be just the thing anti-establishment readers are seeking.

Music at St Patrick's College Drumcondra, 1875-2016
Edited By John Buckley and John O'Flynn
Since its foundation in 1875, the activities of St Patrick's College Drumcondra and its graduates have been closely woven into the educational and cultural fabric of Irish society. This volume charts how music and music education have fulfilled a major role throughout the history of the Dublin-based establishment that began as a teacher training college and later evolved into a college of education and liberal arts. Graduates of St Patrick's College have taught hundreds of thousands, if not millions of pupils across the country, have made significant contributions to various facets of professional and amateur music activity, and have had an invaluable influence on the wellbeing of individuals, the development of communities and the advancement of the nation as a whole.
The book records and interprets key musical developments, appraises the work of major contributors, and captures the activities of students, staff and visiting musicians at St Patrick's College up to its incorporation into Dublin City University in 2016. It represents a major scholarly work that details the progress of music at a university college in Ireland, and it is envisaged that its varied chapters and themes will evoke further memories and discussions among graduates of the College and others.

Toronto zoo excited about giant pandas
Councillor predicts 2.5 million visitors annually
The Toronto Zoo is hoping two giant pandas that will take up residence there for five years can save the city-owned facility from extinction.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper wrapped up a visit to China by officially announcing Saturday that Beijing will loan two pandas to Canada.
Er Shun and Ji Li will spend five years in Toronto before heading to Calgary for five years.
The giant panda is unique to China and is regularly sent abroad as a sign of warm diplomatic relations or to mark breakthroughs in ties. The Toronto Zoo just hopes it will mean a breakthrough in attendance.
"This is going to be unprecedented for the zoo," said Coun. Giorgio Mammoliti.
Mammoliti said he's always been frightened a decline in attendance numbers at the zoo would eventually mean its closure, but he hopes the pandas will attract 2.5 to 3 million people annually.
A giant panda stayed at the Toronto Zoo in 1985, attracting 750,000 visitors in just three months.
"The zoo will break even on this panda exhibit and then some," said zoo chair Joe Torzsok. "And that money will be used to support our conservation, education and research work. We're absolutely certain this is no cost to the taxpayers."
Taking in the pandas is costly. An $800,000 pen upgrade was already planned and will now cost more, the rent on the pandas is $1 million a year and there's an extra $200,000 charge if a cub is born. That's all on top of food, which can cost close to $200,000 a year.
"In the past zoos have not made that much money from pandas, so the outlay on the zoo's part is quiet enormous," said Henry Nicholls, author of The Way of the Panda. "What happens quite quickly is you do get an initial increase in visitor numbers but that tails off rather rapidly."
To combat that, the pandas will make the move to Calgary.
The animals arrive in the spring of 2013.

The Equality Act 2010 outlaws discrimination against you because of your age. If you've experienced unlawful discrimination, you may be able to do something about it. That's something our Union, Solidarity, can help you with. Solidarity has a zero tolerance approach to discrimination against its members. Even if you are not yet a member of Solidarity we may still be able to help.
The Equality Act says it's only unlawful discrimination if you're treated unfairly for certain reasons. These reasons are called protected characteristics. Age is one of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act.
Age discrimination is where you're treated unfairly because of your age or because you're part of a particular age group.
It's also against the law to discriminate against you because of the age of someone you're with or someone you know. This could be a parent, child, partner or friend.
This is called discrimination by association.
It's unlawful if someone discriminates against you because they think you belong to a certain age group even though you don't. This is called discrimination by perception.
The treatment could be a one-off action or as a result of a rule or policy based on age. It doesn't have to be intentional to be unlawful.
There are some circumstances when being treated differently due to age is lawful.
Harassment occurs when someone makes you feel humiliated, offended or degraded.
This is when you are treated badly because you have made a complaint of age discrimination under the Equality Act. It can also occur if you are supporting someone who has made a complaint of age discrimination.
Discrimination law can be complex so we always advise that you contact us at the earliest possible opportunity. We have well qualified and experienced Reps who can advise you. According to the most recent survey almost three-quarters of UK workers feel age discrimination is common in the workplace, with both the youngest and oldest feeling most aggrieved. Another study found that the majority of people over the age of 50 felt some form of bias against them in the workplace. If you feel you are being ill-treated tell us so we can start to help.

GLENDALE (CBSLA) – A 32-year-old actress best known for the television series "The 100" was arrested on felony domestic violence charges last week in Glendale.
Marie Avgeropoulos was taken into custody by Glendale police in the early morning hours of Aug. 5, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department inmate records.
Avgeropoulos was booked on felony domestic violence charges, according to TMZ. Police had responded to a call from a man who said she had struck him during an argument, TMZ reports. However, the exact circumstances which prompted the arrest were unclear.
Avgeropoulos was booked and released on $50,000 bail, according to jail records.
Avgeropoulos plays the character of Octavia Blake on "The 100," a post-apocalyptic science fiction series that airs on The CW.

Case study: The PalaceXchange complex
From this case study of an early adopter of BIM methodologies, we discover some of the advantages and difficulties experienced when adopting BIM.
The PalaceXchange in Enfield, UK, is one of the earliest projects to adopt an early form of BIM known as the Avanti methods.
The client of this £30m three-storey civic building project was ING Real Estate. The project covered an area of 18,000 square metres, providing 14,000 square metres of new retail space and 6,038 square metres of leisure and cultural space (BSI 2010). It linked together the major high street stores of the town.
The project team tested the Avanti methods and evaluated their impact. Avanti was a former UK BIM standard, BS1192:2007. Like BIM, it was a code of practice that aided collaborative production of architectural, engineering and construction information.
The goal of the project supplier, Costain, in using the method was:
'to improve their processes to deliver a high quality end product with less waste in the design process' (Constructing Excellence 2010).
Similarly, the client, ING Real Estate, wanted to:
'make good use of technologies and techniques to make the construction process more efficient and reduce the operational costs' (Constructing Excellence 2010).
The Avanti methods achieved a number of good outcomes that benefited the teams involved and the client, such as:
Improved coordination among the workers as Avanti provided an opportunity for the team members to review each other's work;
The use of a 'project extranet for information exchange led to a saving of up to 50% of effort and improved spatial co-ordination and cost certainty' (BSI 2010);
Enabling 'improved information management, estimated at nearly 800 man-hours or £50k' (BSI 2010); and
Contributing to monetary savings in the overall project of £3.6m; in other words, the project was delivered 10% under budget, a rare occurrence in most projects (Constructing Excellence 2010).
These results encouraged Costain to continue using BIM in future projects, as part of its continuous improvement.
However, as the Avanti BIM model was adopted after the commencement of the project, its use did not yield maximum benefits.
The design concepts had already been developed by the time the decision to adopt Avanti methods was made. Therefore, a consultancy was employed to advise on spatial coordination (BSI, 2010). Consequently, restructuring the drawings cost 24 man-weeks or £60k.
When using Avanti, it was recommended that it was incorporated from an early stage of the project in order to maximise the benefits.
You may be interested in the articles in the 'See also' section that further describe this case study.
Your task
In the case study, late adoption of the Avanti methodology increased some costs.
Can you think of further disadvantages caused by the late adoption of BIM to a project?

Subtitled A Play with Masks and written in rhythmic verse full of muscular language & flights of poetic fancy, Fat Souls won JMC the International Playwriting Festival and was produced to great audience and critical success at the Warehouse Theatre, Croydon in 1993.
Fat Souls tells the story of a social misfit and long-time jobseeker, Fat Mags, who finds dead-end employment doing routine dogsbody work in an office. In the workplace, she meets Lamb, a youth with a whole other way of looking at things, and his vision transforms her previously gloomy outlook on life.
Usual grey streets of stumble down hopeless.
Cracks in the pavements, as stone as the faces.
Stagger down twisting old roads, streets and alleys.
On past the station. Birds in the bridge beams,
Shit on some prat's hat. That makes me laugh that.
On down the high street. Rents are too high there,
Shops are all closing. Wade through the market.
Stink of the fish stall. Shouts from the traders.
Laughter from kids, call me fat as I pass.
Lived here all life long and I don't know no one.
I've just known piss-take and loneliness, jeering
And jokes about fatness. Can I go through this?
Must or they'll stop dole. My life starts today.
Squeeze into the hole that is waiting, okay!
All of the characters bar Lamb wear masks which partially and totally conceal their faces during the action. At times, the mask slips, and we see the truth behind the façade - and it ain't pretty.
No! No, its not okay. I thought I could face them.
On my own terms, eyeball to eyeball.
Showing myself, unmasked.
But it's horrible here. I really need it.
I promise I'll take it off for friends.
I'll take it off if I find a boyfriend.
I just need this. Just for now.
For now I need my mask.
The office is peopled by a colourful array of characters: the office boss, Paterman, is a neurotic authoritarian whose mask conceals a closeted homosexuality lived vicariously through the promiscuous encounters of his more daring friend Froppage; Roar, the leonine cock-of-the-office whose sexual prowess sports hero glory conceals a heart all too easily given, and ripped out; Luce, the flighty office secretary who hides a machinating ambition to succeed at any cost; Thumb, a nerd who hero worships Roar to the extent that his own self is scarcely existent; and Barry BJ, the office bully whose intimidation of Fat Mags masks personal insecurity and a tragic past.
I still see you fighting for life on that bed,
Gasping for breath but you couldn't get none.
The cancer had eaten away your lungs.
Death chewed and ate you. I saw your pain, Mum.
I'm sorry there was nothing I could do.
In the midst of all of these masked figures crying "Me! Me! Me!" walks the gentle Lamb, quietly determined to get through his workdays doing no harm to anyone, bringing home the money needed to keep the garden he cultivates alive. To this garden, bequeathed to him by his late Father, he brings the long-suffering Mags, takes off her masks and reveals to her his way of life.
We've got some funny way of doing things out there, ain't we?
Life on the Moon.
Shivering in a sea of cold.
Trapped in a sea of crises.
Lost on the lake of dreams.
Blown and soaked on stormy, rainy seas.
Feel your way to the Central Bay of it
And back to garden Earth.
Lunatics. Listen to us.
As if life was just a talking point,
Something to laugh at. No.
Take a deep breath,
Open your eyes wide
And see the beauty.
You're in the middle.
Rose in the garden,
Beginning to bloom,
Unbothered by weeds, by cares
And things that matter, and Matter,
And needs. You've got what you need,
Here with me, in this garden.
I don't expect anything more
Than your presence and your smile.
But can such a fragile and idealistic vision of the world survive in a jungle where each man is hunting for himself, and the lion roars in the rain in pain and rage?

COLLEGE STATION – The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) yesterday afternoon requested Texas Task Force 1 (TX-TF1) to mobilize some of its assets to Pecos, Texas, to assist the local jurisdiction with response to flooding occurring in the area. At 6 a.m. this morning, TX-TF1 deployed two Boat Squads and rescue swimmers to man two Blackhawk helicopters in partnership with Texas Military Forces.
The partnership between TX-TF1 and Texas Military Forces to create the Helicopter Search & Rescue Team (HSART) has been in place for over a decade. They train together with around eight exercises annually, creating a valuable asset to respond in these situations.
Flood conditions in the area are expected to continue through much of the week. Our thoughts and prayers are with the citizens affected by this flood and the responders working to ensure their safety.
Who is TX-TF1?
TX-TF1 is sponsored by the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) and has deployed over 90 times since 1997, including the Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy, Sept. 11th World Trade Center attack, and Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ike. TX-TF1 can be activated by the Texas Division of Emergency Management or as one of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) 28 sanctioned urban search and rescue teams.
Members of TX-TF1 range from firefighters and medical personnel, to structural engineers, and come from all areas capable of reporting to College Station within a five-hour window. The Task Force consists of three separate units of approximately 80 members each. The teams rotate on a monthly standby, stand down or on call status.

BERKELEY — NFL star Marshawn Lynch of Oakland is being lampooned on the internet and TV for a photo showing his parked white Lamborghini protected by velvet ropes.
His people want to set the record straight.
The scene was staged, according to Mario Bobino, the director of "Family First — The Marshawn Lynch Story," which concluded filming in Oakland last weekend.
"It was a prop for the movie," Bobino said Thursday. "We did that."
Lynch's representatives reached out to this newspaper to "set the record straight" about the photo, which was taken from an upstairs apartment window across the street from where the car was parked Sunday.
Since then, the photo has gone viral on social media, and has been shared by websites including CBS Sports, Deadspin, Washington Post and NFL.com. Bobino said two Bay Area news stations showed it.
Bobino said he had to talk the Seahawks' star running back into shipping the car to the Bay Area from Seattle to be used in what will be the film's fictionalized opening scene.
The movie begins with the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl and Lynch pulling up to an Oakland club in his luxury car, greeted by fans and paparazzi.
"You've got to remember, this is a movie," said Bobino, stressing that although Lynch portrays himself in the film, it is not a documentary. "It's 70 percent him, 30 percent Hollywood. He didn't want to do the Hollywood thing."
But Bobino, a 50-year-old Oakland native, said the opening scene is intended to highlight Lynch's climb to stardom from a rough inner-city beginning.
Lynch arrived with his Lamborghini at about 3 p.m. on Sunday, Bobino said, hours before the night-time scene was to be shot. "We put those (ropes) out there because we didn't want nobody messing with his car," said Bobino, who also utilized the ropes in the movie scene.
Lynch, who does few interviews with media, was not available for comment, but Bobino said the former Oakland Tech and Cal star is not particularly upset.
"Marshawn has been used to this type of abuse. He's not tripping on it," Bobino said. "His biggest thing is people have a false percetion of him."
Bobino said he hopes the film accurately portrays Lynch, 28, as a product of Oakland who loves his town and wants to send positive messages to kids.
There is no set release date for "Family First," but Bobino's Debonaire Productions is working with distributors and hopes it will premiere late in the fall.

[JURIST] Prosecutors working for Cambodia's Khmer Rouge genocide tribunal [official task force website; timeline] began formal investigation Monday of criminal acts allegedly committed by surviving leaders of the communist Khmer Rouge [JURIST news archive] regime, which ruled Cambodia from 1975-1978 and was responsible for the deaths of at least 1.5 million Cambodians by execution, forced hardships, or starvation in the so-called "Killing Fields." Led by Canadian prosecutor Robert Petit [Globalpolicy.org profile] and Cambodian prosecutor Chea Leang, the investigation will collect and review evidence that could be used at trial. Petit has warned, however, that it could take months for prosecutors to return indictments [JURIST report] due the complexity of the cases and the novel structure of the court.

Amazing Teen Girl's Bedroom Makeover
When little ladies develop up a lot about them adjustments. Their personalities, frame of mind and being adjustments. The flowery linen, the pink and yellows colours and people stuffed animals that had been soothing must go as a brand new particular person emerges. This teen woman's bed room makeover by Jeanne Oliver Designs is completely superb.
Personalize her house.
A teen woman's bed room is the one house the place she will get away to course of her emotions and simply be herself with nobody watching or judging. She might need grown as much as be a singer; would possibly like strumming her guitar, would possibly like an occasional guide or two and wish house to vent herself onto a diary. Consider the issues that make her who she is now: the pop loving, guitar enjoying rising fashionista whose life has simply develop into extra sophisticated.
Making her bed room a sanctuary.
Change the portray in her room right into a extra subdued colour. Black or grey are nice colours when tempered with the glam of gold and silver which you'll pepper on her mattress or use on the nightstands. Change her linen too. Do away with the pink, flowery linen and go monotone. White is nice as a result of it offsets the black wall colour, accentuates the gold and silver components and permits you to play with unconventional colours and textures. Maintain that outdated backboard that was used to show her how one can spell as a child to put in writing each day inspirational messages. Younger ladies love their garments so get her a classic clothes rack to hold her favourite clothes. A young person wants her make up. Make house for it by getting a make-up trolley. Don't neglect the mirrors, one that's large enough for her to see herself absolutely standing up and one to see her face higher.
