ME Travel - IZY, a low cost train service from Thalys, offers you the opportunity to travel between Brussels and Paris at a great price. With fares from just € 10, a journey between the two capitals in Belgium and France has never been so cheap.
Folding seat € 10
Moreover, you choose your own rate from the available categories: folding seat (€ 10 *), standard seat (from € 19 *) and even a Standard XL (from € 29 *) option if you want more comfort. If a train ticket was always too expensive in the past, you now have the chance to finally travel cheaply between Brussels and Paris.
Until recently you could also book a non-guaranteed place. If all places were full, this meant that you had to stand between the two capitals during the ride. But usually there was always a free place. However, this has been abolished and the folding seats have been lowered in price.
Book quickly and on time
It is a pity that these were abolished, because there are not many folding seats available, I noticed the last time I travelled between Brussels and Paris. So you have to book quickly and on time. You can buy a ticket up to two months before the date of departure.

Offering Comprehensive Defense Strategies in Middlesex County
Being accused of rape can be absolutely devastating. Rape is considered a first-degree sex offense and charges are usually very difficult to defend. Often there are no material witnesses or physical evidence and charges are based largely on the testimony of the accuser. Conviction of an innocent person is drastically higher in rape cases —which means your defense strategy is critical.
Do not let a wrongful conviction ruin your life. If you are facing charges or allegations of rape, you need a New Brunswick rape defense lawyer with experience. Choose Jack Venturi Law.

Possible Penalties
Penalties for rape almost always include prison, severe fines, probation time, and court-appointed counseling. These types of crimes are commonly punished more severely than any other felony crime, except murder. Plus, if you are convicted as a sex felon, you may have to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life.

The main story in last week's Faith and Values section of the Herald-Leader was Providence Christian Church's temporary storefront location (link), coupled with an article on the popularity of storefront churches in Florida (link).
I would really enjoy reading an article on all the local storefront churches that are starting up in Central Kentucky. I have particularly noticed in Georgetown that it seems like a new one opens up every six months or so. I'm not one for watching church planting trends, but if there's anywhere in the world that wouldn't seem to need more congregations that are just like the others, it's this place. Why do you folks think these churches are opening?
I've heard that storefronts appeal to the poor, because dedicated buildings can seem pretentious or intimidating. For many of these Christians, of course, it's the cheap first step to megachurch status, and they don't to meet in homes because they want to grow numerically through an attractional model of mission, i.e., "come to see and experience this neat thing we're doing." I don't like to call that "mission," but there you go.
I also don't take for granted these churches are having the financial or numerical success that they would like; I know that a recent Baptist church plant has been meeting in the Regal Cinemas for almost two years now. Everybody says they offer something "different" from all the other existing churches; I have to say that in many cases, if they have leadership under 50, they are indeed something different.
My favorites are the billboards for the Pentecostal churches that offer more entertaining worship, and the Baptist church plants that see themselves as necessary because the other churches are too entertainment-focused.
I was recently contacted over the MySpace by the worship leader of a storefront start-up in Georgetown. They're trying to put together a combination worship space, coffeehouse, art gallery, and music venue. The funny thing was, the coffeehouse wasn't open for regular or any posted hours, and the Saturday night live music they're promoting is "Christian Rock," and carries with it a $5 cover charge.
This really doesn't help those ugly rumors that Pentecostal preachers are in it for the money. But seriously, I would assume it's because they need to pay the rent on the space in the Georgetown Outlet Mall, and can't wait until they have adherents to do so. Do they really expect Scott County kids to come streaming in with fivers in hand on Saturday nights to listen to an Audio Adrenaline cover band?
The implication is that a church is a meeting space before it is a group of people covenanted together, and that it's a worship band before it's a liturgy. The slogan: "A Non-Denominational, Relevant, God Glorifing, Body of Believers!"
I would have stopped in to meet them and see if I can learn what they're about (Roger and I were feeling feisty that night), but I didn't want to pay $5 for the privilege. I drove by another time out of curiosity, but there were just a couple of bored kids sitting at the door waiting to take money, and nobody inside. They advertise "freedom," too. Oh dear. I need to share with them the gospel of ritualism...
Anytime one of these groups introduces someone to a journey with Jesus, that's great. It really is. But I always wonder, how many people are going 'round those parts because they're offering something more relevant or exciting? Do they ask them to return to their previous fellowship? If they don't, they probably deserve them, now that I think about it.
Can you imagine what kind of parish priest I would be?
"Yeah, we really want to come to your church - the sermons are much more relevant than our other church, and I really feel like I'm in the presence of God here."
"I'm sorry my dears, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you not to return. You see, we're very exclusive here..."
Ha ha.

September 2017 Energy Report: Emphasis, Contemplation, REALization, Immense Integration and Increased Reflecting Fractals
September started off showing us what is possible and still existent within. It opened a Gateway for each to SEE and EXPERIENCE the "Result of Consciousness" "faster" now. Continual Convergence has expedited in a magnanimous way.
August was a huge month of integration, a POWERFUL month of activations, veil removal, clearing physical density, re-structuring cellularly & REALities like never before, and this will continue as the constructs of the old crumble, collapse, dissolve, dismantle (intentionally or unconsciously) - INSIDE - for any linear constructs to be replaced with non-linear, vibrational ones. The more unconscious, the more this appears to happen outside first, while in fact, inside is already doing this and outside is just reflecting this back.
What does this mean? (Click "Read More" Below):
Many things. Mostly that all is vibrational and dictated by feelings, beliefs and thoughts and the only "control" each has, is through inner-connection with/as PURE SOURCE LIGHT and by way of holding PURITY LOVE and UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS as our Core Existence, otherwise there is no "glue" to hold anything together, as the glue is Vibrational ENERGY and deep sacred love and respect now.
Polarities become more vast and extreme, yet how polarity presents is different, based upon the dimension physically occupied. The more unconscious, the more physical all of this is. An unconscious program will play out within a physical reality for as long as there is any energy that keeps it going. The more conscious, the less a physical experience is necessary, because the polarity is visible before the reality is created, therefore, through "Quantum Expanded Consciousness", it's never created to materialize or play out. If it does, then each has the opportUNITY to see it/realize it and stop it, immediately, and shift to a much higher vibration within self and with their whole body, to shift to a different timeline, concluding the old one immediately for activating and anchoring a new one in it's place.
On a grander scale, the greatest polarity is the vast difference between physical Heaven on Earth and physical Hell on Earth now, as these are polar opposites as well. Deep into "the Rapture" (Ascension is the same thing, just the 5th Dimensional word instead of the fear based 3rd dimensional word, yet I use it to make a point here). The lower timelines now play out what was inconceivable before, prophesied, spoken of as "what was to come", providing each an opportUNITY to intentionally choose Physical Body Ascension, which is the Embodiment of each's Soul and eventually OverSoul/Monad here.
Responsive Physical Realities:
To experience Heaven, each must hold PURITY as a way of existing, continually anchoring photonic light/encodements from within, hold the absolute highest state of consciousness and honor this vast evolutionary process of transitioning from all of the old unconscious matrix programs/programming to RETURN to an existence that is PURE. NEW Earth Heaven becomes visible differently along the way. First in dreams and visions, then holographically, then in all things physical.... for vibrational density-shifting processes are intricate ones, where every molecule, cell and particle of our StarDust/Earthly/Heavenly Bodies are completely re-worked/re-coded, de-densified and raised vibrationally through cosmic photonic frequencies bombarding daily so that each can fully become Conscious to REMEMBER again. Placing responsibility on anything outside for how any of this came to be created is an unconscious program as well.
Separation/Duality plays out in Extremes:
Heaven or Hell, awesome or not awesome, intense or immense, suffering or ease, hard or easy, aligned or not-aligned, flow or complicated, begin with mindsets and beliefs. Each now resides in their own Universe/Galaxy, connected through "like-vibrations" (collectives). Each must choose to EXIST AS LOVE and stop playing in the old games of unconsciousness again for the extremes to diminish. These extremes are the balancing of polarities within. You/we are returning to existences forgotten, as each holds realities in place according to NEW EARTH ENERGIES and no longer compromises or supports the old anymore. Realizations, in the beginning, are mind-blowing and beyond challenging, because a complete reversal of all unconsciousness is required.
August was a pre-cursor.
Emphasis: All will show you where your focus (energy) has been, where you place importance and how what you place your importance on creates your physical reality here. With the emphasis shifting to UNITY/CHRISTED CONSCIOUSNESS in very big ways, anything "not this" will become more visible/play out for you to see this and choose to shift vibrationally/expand your consciousness yourself. Many expansions are "spontaneous" for awhile and your human won't understand, try to go to fear/control/resist or "label" this as something else....
Contemplation: Observe and decide what represents Heaven or Hell in your own reality world. Opening your heart/mind fully will allow you to sit with all and process easier, for new understandings/clarity to come through. Your physical reality is not going to be like you thought it was "supposed to be". Unconscious Earth was realities built on fake, pretend, selfishness, not caring, not respecting, not coming together, not sharing and perceptions that you were alone/the only one, which could not be furthest from the truth. Yes, it will be all up to you, to decide, because as long as you are avoiding, trying to "not do" what your higher self/Universe is trying to show you, trying to "not listen" to what you know is "right", holding out for yourself, not willing to come together, then you will suffer, for separation from your own SOURCE YOU is what creates your suffering here. The physical is not what you "think" it is....
FOCUS on what inspires, supports, unifies and and creates/anchors highest consciousness new. Shift your focus off of attachment to others/things, realize what you already have access to, the gifts you have/are, the gifts that you took for-granted, the opportunities that you turn down because the don't fit into your "way of thinking" or what you "thought" reality was supposed to look like. Connect DEEP on a SOUL Level with all that you come into contact with. No more hiding, fake, BS, pretending.... everything is visible vibrationally... hiding is from yourself.
Expand your heart & mind, open completely up. Observe where you still hold resistance to ease and keep struggling inside with what challenges your human. This is a huge sign that provides you the opportUNITY to dissolve resistance easily, for the Light of your Soul to integrate within you easier.
Love, Respect & No More BS: You, your body, each other. Kindness. Consideration. Support each other. Get over your chit. Move through things, process those emotions, get them out of your body, so that you can return to peace and love and to activate more Heaven New Earth to come forth faster again.
See your own divisiveness, see your own stuff. Stop judging, as this will keep you spinning in a loop cycle until you get tired/done.
Bring those walls down yourself. Dissolve anything you've still got going on. See the patterns in your own reality, your habits...
SEE what needs to be resolved, returned and merged back into/through UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS LOVE in order to shift into a vibrational timeline of Our NEW Earth now.
Continual REALizations occur by observing all through our hearts/higher mind consciousness and the depths of our Soul. Much contemplation is necessary when observing and realizing that a choice must be made .... to keep struggling to hang onto/keep the old or move on/let it go to be ready for the next awesome thing that's been waiting for you.
When you realize that you are ready to be free, you will start to treat yourself with love and respect. As you do this, you gain the capacity to do this for all around you. Loving you comes first. Kindness for you comes first. Respecting you comes first. THEN you can share this love, this kindness, this self-respect through your FIELD OF CONSCIOUSNESS....
You are creating a new way of being and doing things. You are creating all new realities. You are anchoring realities through light. They come into fruition as you integrate this light within you and express it, share it, transmit it through your BEing and DOing... in everything that you are & do.
Dreams and Ideas: These higher realm "visions" and thoughts are your new realities floating around in your ethers (field) just waiting for you to grab them and do something with them. Your alchemist and you as a Divine Mother/Father will give birth, nurture and grow/raise these creations (your babies/Divine Children) to release them out into the ethers, out into the world, out into the hearts and souls of all that they touch to inspire, awaken and assist as love too. These dreams & ideas are important, yet cannot be if you continue to sit in fear, keep minimizing yourself, wasting what you already have, keep talking yourself out of all, keep making excuses for why you cannot yet. Your dreams are ACTIVATED as you open up, as you believe, as you dedicate your time/energy/money/reSOURCEs/things to bring these things into PHYSICAL REALITY here.
You/WE are the one that opens/closes portals: These are abound in every moment, yet your human is not ready, makes excuses, turns all away. Everything just floats around in your field until you expand your consciousness into all to activate it as an actual reality here. There are many things that cannot come into fruition until all the pieces & parts have occurred. Sacred Geometrics are made up of pieces and parts. When you do the first piece, the next piece activates. When you do that one, the next one does... each piece you do/activate, creates a bigger part of the picture, the bigger piece of the puzzle, until every piece has been activated/done. Each part comes together (converges) in the physical, as you achieve the vibration inside for materialization to occur. If you are not doing any of the "pieces" then the whole picture cannot come together for you. The whole reality is like this. Every piece of reality is constructed as you activate/DO it. Realities are constructed geometrically, by way of Quantum Creation, where each thing creates the whole. A reality is this. The conclusion/conversion of all of the pieces. Change the vibration of the piece, the picture/reality changes. This is how vibrational realities work. The ENERGY that you CREATE WITH dictates the vibrational reality that takes form. Your Quantum Energy transmits across all dimensions/timelines to activate ENTIRE REALITIES. Your ability to expand your own consciousness gives you the ability to "look across dimensional timelines" (galaxies/universes) and activate realities at will. You do this vibrationally, through your own abilities that you gain as you transcend unconsciousness from within. Where you are not ready yet, where you let your limited human dictate, then those portals/doors/opportUNITIES can close and you'll have to wait until you achieve the vibration fully before another portal/door/gateway opens back up. You can also close portals yourself, as you see that things cannot fully align. You can close out realities that no longer serve highest purposes and represent an old timeline that's collapsed because something was not ready.... and what this is, shifts/changes in every moment, when we exist as Quantum BEings. (Humans don't do well with this, as they want to "think" first. Here, there is no "thinking". There is observing, seeing, knowing & doing. This collapses timelines instantly as we do!
Our Heaven on Earth will change all along the way. What brings us joy, happy, peace and inspires will be different as we step further into fulfilling our own Soul's Purposes/Galactic Missions, while enriching all of our own lives by RECEIVING in RESPONSE to how much we are willing to do whatever is necessary to anchor our highest timelines in the physical here. Once we have achieved "that", then that will be easy and the next thing will become our focus. Stepping stones, building blocks of a whole new "future" (vibrational reality)... from within this ZERO POINT FIELD NOW here.
Immense Instant Integration is required for ease "after" to occur. This ultra-high frequency light (waves & particles) will re-code your the DNA of your body & your physical reality (yes your Physical Reality has DNA too). Integration is challenging to our human aspect, yet our bodies require this to function with greater ease, to continually ascend in the physical and clear the dense/unconscious programs held deep within our physical body structures keeping us from experiencing our highest timeline and purest existences together here.
The rest of 2017 (and into 2018) is dedicated to anchoring these unity frequencies & new timelines in. Gauge all based upon higher consciousness awareness, instead of lower consciousness judgments, re-actions, limits and fixed beliefs. Listen to your feelings, keep opening up fully to communicate, to support, to share, to step-up and into those shoes that allow you to walk on NEW Earth with greater ease. Embrace what you might not understand yet, yet somewhere inside already know. Release those things you held onto out of fear, cut those cords of attachment, let go of expectations, making promises or committing to things you can't fulfill, as the way you feel & what you see continually changes here. Your capabilities will also change constantly, as your Universal Body works very different than your human body did. Let go of the need to save, protect and convince anyone else of anything (because it's you you are trying to convince). Let go of what other's think/say, for this is their reality, not yours, unless you take it on as your own/have an emotional reaction. REALize that a higher dimensional reality means you are going to do the INNER WORK and whatever contributes in the physical, you are going to have to do this too. Understand that you will receive VIBRATIONALLY, non-linearly, however is appropriate as a RESPONSE TO ALL OF THE VIBRATIONS you are transmitting out continually and that if everything you hold/be/do is fully aligned, then the reality you receive will be too!
Get ready for more magic, see all not love and intentionally shift this yourself. Maintaining your Ascended Christed/God/Source Self means that your reality is always aligned, and where it is not, you decide what is appropriate in each moment based upon the presence of love, which often means standing in your POWER and saying "not acceptable" and letting all outside resolve itself/go figure it out (often somewhere else). This is YOUR reality.... September is to anchor more of your highest everything here... for all of us... it takes us all.... REMEMBER... ♥
I love you! Happy September... this powerful Equinox Gateway is another huge transition for us all! ♥

Information and Support
Everything we provide, share, and offer, is a way for each to choose consciously what each values as important and worth, in supporting and accelerating their own heart-opening experiences here, as well as further activating their own LightBody too. Each one of us does this differently, yet to understand that all is important and serves a much bigger picture/purpose, we start to understand that Energetic Exchange is a way to respect, reciprocate, gift and in-turn support the vastness of what we receive ENERGETICALLY and that all of these things are just tools and ways to activate, therefore it's not about a "thing" anymore.
All are here because they receive something, through the Light Encoded sharings and various ways to activate, elevate and expand by way of opening our Universal/Cosmic heart/ higher mind chambers and Gateways, often in seemingly unorthodox ways. By combining various activation tools and utilizing each for the purposes of stimulating and awakening pure beauty, kindness and a deep sacred connection from deep within, all of these "things" are just something that we each consciously choose to use. The value is not the value of a "thing", yet instead the value of what we decide is our reasonable exchange in order to receive heart-opening Soul activations, which is determined by how we utilize these "things". The value is determine by you, how you value and place worth on your your own Awakening Soul journey, and what tools you feel will most benefit and assist you with this. The value is the value you place upon yourself, your energy and what you choose to utilize to accelerate your own awakening journey and current (LightBody) phases you are in.
The tool itself doesn't matter. Your openness, your making a conscious choice and deciding what's important and how you desire to do this for yourself, as what "things" you feel will most benefit you in opening your heart. Your conscious choice is a very important part of the your own Awakening processes here.
Through our own higher states of love-consciousness, we take the focus off of the thing and we shift it to what we feel will most assist us with our current processes and phases. We shift the value off of the "thing" and onto our energy, our vibration, our LightBody, and what we feel will assist us with opening our hearts to/through more beauty, unity, kindness and love.
Our Entire Value System evolves, as we start to value ourselves and our Light/Energy, we start to value the energy, the work, the contributions of others too.
Here, each is supporting ENERGETICALLY the work, the programs, services, those working in Dedicated Service to create, share and provide the vastness of all that is offered to support, inspire, awaken, assist and consciously evolve.
Each is contributing to a much higher purpose, the Evolution of a much Higher Consciousness HUmanity. Your CONSCIOUS EXCHANGE becomes a part of this. ♥
In essence, what you are investing in, is your own SoulBody/LightBody and you are consciously choosing (free-will) activation tools to work with, in order to further assist you with the acceleration of this. You are exercising a conscious exchange of Love Energy (In form) in order to do this, which will in-turn assist with fulfilling higher purposes and Service to HUmanity roles here.

Editors' highlights 2017: The year in tech
Once again, the year is drawing to a close. Of course, we also looking back over a year of reporting right here in the office, but what has inspired us the most in the past twelve months? In this article our editors introduce you to their personal highlights of the year.
The year 2017 was quite an interesting one, but it was also somewhat boring at times. Like every year, of course, every big-name manufacturer released their latest flagships with every single one of them becoming increasingly expensive. One thing is clear in 2017: If I want to buy a high-end smartphone, I'd really have to shell out a lot. A whole lot. Samsung, Google and Apple have all crossed the $900 threshold. The iPhone X, in particular, somewhat exaggerates things: "The device is interesting and shows a clear evolution in the Apple world, but what you get for the price is a joke", says Benoit.
New factors are coming into focus
But the price is not the only reason why smartphones are not the real highlights for our editors. Smartphones are becoming increasingly boring, and in a positive sense at that. Nowadays, even smartphones that cost less than 500 EUR provide so much performance that they are easily adequate for any day-to-day tasks.
The year 2017 mainly saw the prominent emergence of smart assistants. Our Italian colleague Jessica Murgia sees it the same way: "Google is bringing its assistant to nearly every home with its Google Home Mini for 59 euros". Of course, Amazon, too, sells an affordable loudspeaker, the Echo Dot, which admittedly does not sound as good as its big brother but is just as smart. Jessica merely sees this current development as a harbinger for something much greater: "The smart home revolution is just getting started."
Eric Ferrari-Herrmann also thinks that conventional smartphones are not the centerpiece of the year. Furthermore, there is an upcoming product that many Germans in particular will like: Purism's Librem 5. For all intents and purposes, customers currently can only choose between iOS and Android, which is not OK from a privacy standpoint. This viewpoint is also shared by the developers behind the new smartphone, including the operating system. Eric elaborates: "They are promising a smartphone for the year 2019 that is fully open at its core and lets the user decide which data is collected and which isn't." We wish the team the very best, since they could really stir things up in the smartphone world. We are very excited!
Smartphones still play a very important role
By no means are smartphones relegated to the bottom of our hotlist of the year. Our Italian colleague Luca Zaninello has felt extremely happy with smartphones this year: "After so many years of boring smartphones without real innovations, we have finally seen profound changes in the smartphone world." He is referring to the bezel-less displays, AI-driven smartphones, new face-recognition hardware and AR abilities. Artificial intelligence, above all, opens up a whole new array of possibilities for smartphones, even if they are only used to a very limited degree at the moment. As with the Librem 5, this is probably more of a promise for the future, but we are already excited about what we will see in the year 2018.
For our French colleague Pierre Vitré, Xiaomi's arrival in Europe is the definitive highlight. This manufacturer has already been familiar to and popular with technophiles in this part of the world for several years, but unfortunately, the phones could only be officially be purchased in Asia, which was a shame when it came to some devices. The Chinese manufacturer wants to grow as organically as possible and avoid making mistakes by entering a new market too quickly (as in the case of LeEco). After years of waiting, it finally happened in 2017: Xiaomi brought its smartphones to Spain. As such, other Western markets are not far off. Perhaps we will see Xiaomi smartphones officially released in US stores in 2018?
On the other hand, our Steffen Herget is a bit more nostalgic. His highlight of the year was the return of Nokia, even if it's only under new leadership by HMD Global: "Because I am old and still remember the good ol' days of Nokia cell phones, which were quite indestructible and simply worked as you expected them to". With the Nokia 3, 5, 6 and 8, the manufacturer has strutted its stuff, at least from a technical design standpoint. Otherwise, the new smartphones were not exactly a hit, but hey, every (new) beginning is difficult, right? In any case, the Nokia 5 has recently shown that the new smartphones are at least as resistant as their legendary predecessors.
The secret star: software
For our Spanish colleague Luis Ortega, it's not Android, iOS, smartphones in general or other technical gimmicks that have impressed him this year. It's an operating system that has not yet been officially announced and that you can't see much of either: Fuchsia. Google is working on a new product that does things differently than Android. One definitive highlight: Apps can be developed in Swift, Apple's own programming language, therefore making the development of two separate apps for Android and iOS a thing of the past. Will we finally be able to take a look at it? We're pretty stoked.
Both VR and augmented reality were major topics this year, so it's no wonder that our editors were thrilled about it. Hans-Georg Kluge and Shu On-Kwok see exciting new developments, mainly in Google's ARCore and Apple's ARKit. "Innovation has declined in smartphones over the past several years, but augmented reality takes our beloved smartphones to a whole new level". The accuracy exhibited by ARKit, which it manages to do without additional hardware, is unbelievably impressive. You could tell how good Apple's new development was since Google announced similar technology shortly thereafter. Project Tango has now been declared dead - and it doesn't surprise me, to be honest.
But there have also been some developments in virtual reality this year. For Nicholas Montegriffo from our US team, the new games by developer Bethesda were particularly important and exciting for the VR world. VR versions of Skyrim, Doom, Wolfenstein and Fallout 4 have been released, which is a milestone for this technology. There has been a lot of discussion on how forward-looking VR is or even isn't; but this step taken by one of the major development studio shows that the technology is by no means dead; au contraire. "The next step is Skyrim-like blockbuster games that are specially developed for VR. Then the true revolution will have begun."
But that's enough of our highlights for 2017. What were your highlights for the year? Is it still smartphones or something entirely different?

District 7 fulfilling Prop E promises with technology
For The Intelligencer
EDWARDSVILLE — It's been nearly two years since Proposition E, a tax rate increase to the District 7 education fund, passed. During the Prop E campaign, the District vowed to use the tax increase funds to stabilize the district's finances, update curriculum and re-establish a curriculum update development cycle as well as update school security and technology.
In a series of articles, we are looking at where District 7 is on its promises and what is left to achieve in the two years remaining of its four-year post-Prop E plan. This article takes a look at technology.
Bill Miener, District 7 director of technology, explained that one of the biggest challenges has been catching up with technology after being restricted by funding for several years.
"We've made a lot of progress in the last two years," he said. "This past year we replaced about 450 computers to date, and we are expecting to replace another 500 in the next year, beginning probably in May. A lot of those will be installed in the summer so that it doesn't impact teachers and will be available to the students at the beginning of school in August 2019."
He pointed out that they are trying to get to the point where they don't have a computer older than four or five years.
"We have a significant amount of computers that are seven years old or older — currently there's 900 of those," he said.
Updating much of the network infrastructure at the high school has also been completed over the past two years to allow for a "Bring Your Own Device" environment.
"We upgraded the bandwidth to a full gigabit just for the Wi-Fi side of the network as well as provide additional bandwidth on the teacher side of it to ensure they have good performance when accessing digital resources.
"The infrastructure side of it is the part that nobody sees but is really important," Miener added. "The servers, the switches, the bandwidth, the wiring, the fiber, the cabling — that all makes everything work. It's really one of the most critical components, but it's the component that most people don't see because it's all the stuff that's literally inside the building and inside closets. It's what connects everything together. Then the internet connectivity is just wires and switches to connect everything so that we have access to the internet with good bandwidth and good response."
To ensure good response and reliability, the Wi-Fi network is independent of the instructional, wired network.
"Regardless of what happens on the student Wi-Fi side of it, the wired side, where students and the teachers access instructional content, actually has a separate internet connection. This allows us to protect our instructional integrity of being able to deliver instruction even if something else becomes bogged down or unavailable," Miener stressed. "We wanted to make sure our teachers were our first priority to be able to deliver content on a consistent basis."
Wi-Fi access points were also installed in all the classrooms and instructional areas at EHS, which amount to approximately 110 areas plus the commons, media center and gymnasium.
While building the infrastructure and increasing bandwidth were important, tightening down security was paramount.
"The most important part from our aspect is that we don't want students accessing inappropriate content while they are at the school on our network," Miener stressed. "When students are using our data connectivity, it's very restricted to basically curricular resources. However, we can't prevent students from doing what they want to do on their data plan."
Miener pointed out that they've been monitoring how many students have accessed the new WiF-i since August.
"We have over 2,300 kids who have connected at some time this year," he said. "We see smartphones, tablets, laptops, across the board, different kinds of devices."
EHS currently has 14 computer labs for access depending on course content.
"We also have a couple of carts with computers on it, and we will be expanding that," Miener noted. "I expect within the next six months we'll be adding at least four carts at the high school so that computers can be rolled into the classroom if they have a particular project."
He pointed out that it would be most efficient if EHS had computer carts that departments shared and could be moved around to classes as needed. "Then it just becomes a scheduling issue within that department," Miener explained. "It would be nice if every student could have a device, but that's a huge cost. Long-term that's something that I envision everyone seeing, but it's not on our horizon right now."
The upgraded infrastructure at the high school also provides the platform for Schoology, the district's new LMS (learning management system), to be used. Schoology allows for all the digital resources for all the content of all the classes to be accessible to the students, their parents, and administration.
"The nice thing about Schoology is it's one portal. It's always the same place they go for all their courses and content, and it's literally accessible anywhere they have connectivity," Miener said. "It's very organized. All of their courses are condensed onto one calendar so they can see there everything that's going on curricularly for their test and quizzes, for all their courses. They are not having to hopscotch to one site for math and another for social studies. This puts it all in one portal at one place for the students to go to see all of that information."
He felt it was also important for students to become familiar with LMS because most colleges use them.
"It's going to be the environment that they walk into when they walk out of here and start college," he stressed.
Upgrading technology at the middle schools is also apart of the post-Prop-E four-year plan. We will look at that next.

Storytelling in the Pulps, Comics, and Radio: How
This book explains the evolution of story telling in the pulps, radio, and comics It is written as if DeForest was telling a story aloud His passion for the material is immediately evident This book is extremely comprehensive, but written in such a way that it could considered light reading It has a personality of all its own and captures an unique era of American entertainment. insighful, Rudolf Dirk s invention seems to emerge in a predictable stage in history, concept of tv was stressed and in my opinion, invalid. I bought this book because of the subtitle, which promises to address some fascinating ideas Alas, all Deforest does is rehash alternative incarnations for characters such as Tarzan, The Shadow, and others from the pulp era There is little here that is not in dozens of prior books The book described in the sub title could have been important, but this isn t that book If you want to read about Deforest s actual subject, get a better book than his. The first half of the twentieth century was a golden age of American storytelling Mailboxes burgeoned with pulp magazines, conveying an endless variety of fiction Comic strips, with their ongoing dramatic storylines, were a staple of the papers, eagerly followed by millions of readers Families gathered around the radio, anxious to hear the exploits of their favorite heroes and villains Before the emergence of television as a dominant and stifling cultural force, storytelling blossomed in America as audiences and artists alike embraced new mediums of expression This examination of storytelling in America during the first half of the twentieth century covers comics, radio, and pulp magazines Each was bolstered by new or improved technologies and used unique attributes to tell dramatic stories Sections of the book cover each medium One appendix gives a timeline for developments relative to the subject, and another highlights particular episodes and story arcs that typify radio drama Illustrations and a bibliography are included

As indicated by my passion to create, I consider myself a luxury companion. I create a beautiful dating experience in the finest of spaces and I go above and beyond for the gentlemen I see. A date with me is an experience. A small vacation in the midst of life's challenges.
I am currently a graduate student. I have been referred to as quite witty and my laugh is often found rather charming. I adore running, weight lifting, gardening and the outdoors. Being in nature is an integral part of who I am and I try to incorporate that into my passion for maintaining fitness. I workout regularly and enjoy learning about health and nutrition. There is absolutely nothing I love more than putting on a tasteful, pretty dress and a sweet pair of heels. I love to feel beautiful! Although, I must say, I am quite versatile (which is reflected in my life as well as my wardrobe) and happily excel in dancing the night away out on the town, dining in fine restaurants or in a pair of tight jeans at a ballgame. If you're up for it, I could even keep you on your toes on a weekend backpacking trip!
I'm a non-smoker. You will always find me to be safe, drug free, courteous and responsible. Discretion is paramount in my interactions with you and for this reason I will never call you. My e-mail exchanges, text messages and brief phone calls from you as we enter into our date will be kept professional at all times.
I will always respect your privacy and be attentive to your needs. When traveling to your city I will always stay at a comfortable 4 or 5 star hotel. I will maintain a mutual respect and enjoyment during our dates while creating a warm space you can feel comfortable expressing your desires in. You can count on me to be well rested and prettily groomed for our time together. I request you do the same.
When it comes to gentlemen I love to adore and be adored. I find myself most compatible with the sort of men that are considerate and easy going, capable of maintaining quality conversation and enjoy the stimulation of intelligent dialogue. I also am very kind, relaxed and considerate and would expect no less from my dates.
The most compatible gentleman for me would be a man who does not take advantage of my kindness, respects my requests and does not put me in the uncomfortable position of denying requests already listed as a no go on my website. This gentleman would never compromise my safety.
I am a high quality, elite companion. My demeanor, considerations, hosting and wardrobe choices reflect this status. If my considerations pose a financial strain for you or cause you resentment we will not be compatible.
I look forward to spending time with you!

Nearly a Year After Time Inc. Acquisition, Meredith Creates New Editorial Partnerships Across Brands
Sports Illustrated and Money remain for sale
Nearly a year after Meredith finalized the acquisition of Time Inc., two titles from the Time legacy have sold, two remain up for sale and the magazine publisher is looking to re-innovate how it packages content across its portfolio of primarily lifestyle brands, including those it inherited.
Most recently, this initiative has resulted in a new editorial partnership between Allrecipes and People (formerly a Time Inc. brand) magazines for a package on awards season, with Wolfgang Puck and other celebrities sharing recipes and tips for awards-themed parties.
It's the first time the two Meredith brands have collaborated (with sponsorship from Reynolds Wrap, Philadelphia Dips and Glad) to cross-publish content in their respective print magazines. The package will appear in the February/March issue of Allrecipes and is in the Jan. 21 issue of People.
Future partnerships have not been announced but are being discussed.
"We will absolutely have our brands collaborate more in a relevant, impactful way where it makes sense," said Doug Olson, President of Magazines at Meredith Corporation, adding, "As a category leader in luxury, food, entertainment and other key lifestyle categories, Meredith can provide value and inspiration to our audiences like no one else."
For example, he added, Meredith's other brands, Travel + Leisure, Departures and Food & Wine, collaborated on a special package for cruising, published in their January issues.
While Meredith sold two of its Time Inc. titles this year, Fortune and Time, two others, Sports Illustrated and Money, remain for sale. A company spokeswoman declined to say whether the sale of those titles was drawing to a close.
Meredith claims that its portfolio reaches more than 175 million unduplicated American consumers monthly and more than 80 percent of millennial women in the U.S.

Americans have trouble trusting the Clintons for many reasons, but near the top of the list is the infamous "Clinton kill list," featuring the names of people close to Hillary and Bill that have died under mysterious circumstances.
Now, it appears that yet another name has been added to this list.
Former U.N. President John Ashe was reportedly found dead last Wednesday. Officials claim he died of a heart attack, but others suspect foul play. The Conservative Tribune reports that local police officers in Dobbs Ferry, New York argue that Ashe died from a workout accident that crushed his throat.
Ashe's death became even more suspicious when police learned that he was scheduled to be in court Monday with Chinese businessman and co-defendant Ng Lap Seng. Ashe reportedly received $1 billion in donations from Seng during his term as president.
It was later revealed that Seng also illegally funneled several hundred thousand dollars to the Democrat National Committee during Bill's presidency. An anonymous source told reporters that prosecutors planned to use this link to Ashe to convince him to testify against her.
"It would have been very embarrassing," the source added. "His death was conveniently timed."
Of course, conspiracy theorists believe that Ashe is just the latest victim of the Clintons. We wouldn't put it past them to take down anyone who has damning information against them—and God only knows how long that list is.

I grew up eating lots of seafood. I try to cook fish, scallops, or shrimp at least once a week. Sometimes the recipe is healthy, other times the recipes is jazzed up a bit.
This is one of those "other" times.
I like to set up my dredging station in the order I will coat the protein of choice. It makes life simpler when you have messy fingers.
Breading is a great way to make fish appetizing to even the pickiest of eaters. I mean who does not love something fried and crunchy? You can even use the same process to bread the fish and bake it in the oven for a healthier alternative.
I have played around with all sorts of breading mixtures for fish: italian bread crumbs, panko bread crumbs, flour, and various nut mixtures. My favorite is a combination of nuts and panko bread crumbs. The panko provides a great texture to contrast the tender fish and the nuts are an added bonus due to their protein-content and good fats. I also added some dried coconut flakes I had on hand to sweeten the crust–it was a great last minute choice! The key is to chop the nuts and coconut with a sharp knife and not use a food processor so that you still have the crunch factor.
Don't worry if the fish gets a little darker in some areas, just move it away from the center of the pan if the heat is not evenly dispersed.
When I saw all the yummy brown bits in the pan, after removing the filets of fish I knew I could not waste those–kinda like how I would NEVER waste turkey drippings (ALWAYS make gravy people). There is so much flavor left in the pan it's a shame not to use it in the sauce. An easy way to incorporate the left over oil, butter, and breading is to use add a little white wine and lemon juice to the pan. This will loosen anything that stuck to the bottom of the pan. When I tasted the sauce, I knew it was missing sweetness and softness to cut the acidity of the alcohol and citrus. I had an "AHA" moment, whenever in doubt add heavy cream. You can say the rest is history.
I served my Rockfish with a brussels sprout and sweet potato hash, but the possibilities for sides are endless! Feel free to use an alternative white fish if you cannot find Rockfish at your grocery store. I know I will be testing this recipe on future fish purchases ;)
As always,
Bon Appeteek
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2
The Players:
For the fish:
2 Rockfish filets (1 lb total)
1/2 C all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/4 C dried coconut flakes
1/4 C pecans
1/2 C panko bread crumbs
sea salt and cracked pepper
2 T butter
1 T extra virgin olive oil
For the White Sauce:
1/2 C white wine (I used sauvignon blanc)
1/2 a lemon
1/2 C heavy whipping cream
1 T fresh parsley, chopped
sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
The Rules:
- Prepare the breading for the fish: using a sharp knife, chop the pecans and coconut until they are similar in size to the panko bread crumbs. Then place coconut, pecans, and panko bread crumbs in a small, resealable bag and shake until well-combined. Pour onto a plate. On a separate plate, spread the flour. In a bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy.
- Rinse the rockfish filets with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper on either side of the fish.
- Dredge the fish in the flour and shake off excess flour. Then dip the fish in the eggs, making sure that all sides are covered in egg wash. Next place fish on plate with bread crumb mixture. Pat the fish, ensuring that the bread crumbs coat the entire surface and stick to the egg wash. Set fish aside.
- Heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan (that can fit both filets). When the pan is hot, transfer the fish to the pan. Cook until bottom of fish has browned (~4 minutes), flip the fish over with a spatula and continue cooking until the other side has browned (additional 4 minutes). If the fish flakes easily, when you press the tongs of a fork on one end of the filet, then the fish is cooked. Remove filets from the pan, place on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil. (Note: place the plate in the microwave to keep fish warm. Do not actually microwave the fish).
- Turn the heat down to medium and add wine and juice of half a lemon to the pan. Make sure to scrape the brown bits from the fish off the bottom of the pan. Once the wine has reduced (~3 minutes), add the heavy cream, parsley, salt and pepper. Whisk until combined.
- Drizzle some of the white sauce onto your serving plate, then plate a filet on top of the sauce, and spoon more sauce on top of the fish. Serve with lemon slices.

The Liberals' Steve Doszpot is astonished that the Government has resolutely not implemented his policies on Autism:
Shadow Minister for Education Steve Doszpot has condemned ACT Labor for refusing to provide a specialised early intervention service for families with autistic children, but has congratulated the University of Canberra which is in the final planning stages of establishing such a centre for children with autism.
"The Canberra Liberals took a policy for an autism school to last year's election based on a successful Queensland school model," Mr Doszpot said today.
"The policy was opposed by both Labor and the Greens who claimed it was a cost for parents and that it wasn't required in Canberra.
"Earlier this year the Canberra Liberals ran a motion urging the Government to adopt the school policy, but they continued to claim it was too expensive and that what was currently provided was appropriate. This was despite various autism groups claiming current services were inadequate.

Have you ever longed for a place called home or struggled with how to define it? Sophie Hudson wants to let you know that Home is Where My People Are. In her memoir of the same name, she reminisces on various experiences of her life, often bringing a theological perspective to them.
Hudson is the author of the BooMama blog, and although I haven't visited her there, I have a feeling that her up-close, personal tone in Home is Where My People Are is the same way she connects with readers on her blog. It's clear from the early pages of her memoir that Hudson has a Southern sense of humor and she would probably connect well with people in person, in the same way a stand-up comic would.
However, her short vignettes lack the power of plot. Out of boredom, I stopped reading the book when I had only reached the half-way point.

There are a variety of commercial refrigerators for all types of requirements. The types of refrigerators used by food businesses depend on their storage and temperature needs. This post shares some common types of commercial refrigerators used in the food industry.
Reach In Refrigerators
|Reach In Refrigerators
The reach-in refrigerators stand vertical and have multiple sections for storage of food. They are made to place along a wall in a kitchen or retail store. Reach-in refrigerators have separate columns for raw foods, fruits, vegetables, and beverages. They are most suitable for retail stores as they come with a transparent door option and storage trays at arm-length access.
Merchandiser units are similar to reach in refrigerators in terms of storage. They come with a glass door to make the food items visible without the need for opening the unit. Retail stores place the merchandisers in the front part of a store so that customers can see what is available for sale. Most stores allow their customers to take out the food items they want to buy. Merchandisers are best for displaying and selling food items in retail stores.
Undercounter Refrigerators
The under-counter refrigerators are made for the same purpose as the reach-in refrigerators. However, they are not meant for showcasing food products. They are made to store foods in the kitchens and preparation areas of restaurants.
Also, known as mini reach-in refrigerators, they are smaller than other types to fit in low space like under the counters and kitchens. Undercounter refrigerators provide quick access to the food items in restaurants and retail stores.
Serve Over Counter Units
The serve over counter units are perfect for cafes, grocery stores, and meat outlets. They are designed to display the food items in a more appealing way than the standard display units. These are similar to countertop display units with the only difference that they come with a glass top to make the items visible. Customers can get the food items they want without the need for servers.
Worktops Or Prep Tables
A kitchen or preparation area needs frequent access to food items and ingredients. Prep table refrigerators allow the chefs to store and access the ingredients and raw food quickly in the preparation area.
They come with trays under the main lid and cabinets for storage of food items and vegetables. Prep tables are small in height to provide easy access to the raw material for dishes and recipes. Worktops are specially designed for restaurants and catering businesses that need to prepare the food items daily.
Bar Refrigerators
There are a variety of bar refrigerators available in the markets to use in different businesses like pubs, bars, and hotels. They have a generous storage capacity to store different types of beverages such as wines, beers, and soft drinks. Bar refrigerators provide easy access to the bartenders and staff members to the beverages stored inside.
Walk-In Refrigerators
|Walk-In Refrigerators
The factories and food industries require large cooling units as they need to store large stocks of food. Walk-in refrigerators are like the rooms in which the workers can walk in to access the food items. They have shelves for storage and easy access to foods and a separate freezing compartment.
Food factories need to take care of the maintenance of walk-in refrigerators and keep them in good working condition. Even a minor fault can reduce the cooling or stop the unit completely, leading to spoilage of a large stock of food.
Display Cases
The display cases are the refrigerators used in retails stores and bakeries to showcase the food products. They do not guarantee a long shelf life and are designed for displaying foods like cakes and ice creams for a short time.
Display refrigerators come in different types such as bakery display, deli display, and vertical and horizontal display cases. Retail stores use them to store foods for one or two days by setting them at the lowest temperatures. However, retail stores and shops cannot use them for storing food items for more than a few days.
Final Words
These are the common types of commercial refrigerators used by food retail stores, restaurants and factories. However, these cooling units need regular care and maintenance for high performance and efficiency.
In case of a fault, they need professional services like commercial freezer repairs Ipswich for repair and maintenance. Now as you know about various types of commercial refrigeration units, you can easily select one for your food business or guide others to choose for them.

Proud Penrith cricketer Ryan Smith will take over the reigns as first grade captain following the recent departure of Michael Castle.
The premiership-winning Poidevin Gray Shield coach and former first grade skipper will return home to Queensland following a number of years at the foot of the Mountains.
Smith, who has been with the club for more than a decade, will become Penrith's first grade skipper for the upcoming 2018/19 season following many successful years serving as club captain.
The prolific wicket taker said it was somewhat of a shock to be chosen.
"It was special for me and a bit of a surprise as well. Penrith is a great club and I can't wait to be the first grade captain and have success with this side," Smith told the Weekender.
"I thought there may have been a couple of guys that could have been considered, like Cameron Weir, who has done really well with the U21s team the last couple of years.
"I just didn't think they would think of me, it was nice to be thought of."
According to club insiders, Smith was an "obvious" choice for the huge role. His dedication to training and strong relationship with teammates are some of his best attributes.
While he'll have to give up his club captain title, Smith is looking forward to his new responsibilities.
"I first became club captain four or five years ago and, at the time, I didn't know what to do. I remember the President telling me to just keep being myself," Smith said.
"In that role, I had to lead people at training and be the person everyone can speak to if they had an issue or needed help.
"As first grade captain, I'll have a lot more responsibilities both on and off the field."
Hailing from the Hazelbrook Cricket Club, Smith has been one of Penrith's longest serving and most popular players. He's amassed more than 300 wickets and scored well over 2000 runs in his grade career.
Smith said Penrith's strong culture is what keeps him coming back.
"Every year, despite players leaving or coming into the club, the culture remains really strong and tightknit," he said.
A new club captain will be announced later this year.
Nathan Taylor is the Weekender's Deputy Editor and Senior Sports Writer. He also compiles the weekly Chatter on the Box TV column. Nathan is an award-winning journalist, who has worked at the Weekender for nearly a decade.

On the Waterfront
Marlon Brando delivers an astonishing, blistering performance as an ex-prizefighter turned longshoreman who struggles to stand up to corrupt union bosses. Masterfully directed by Elia Kazan, WATERFRONT won 8 Academy Awards. It jumps off the screen, even today, with its grit, immediacy, and power.
