——— Updated October 27, 9:32 PM ———
Dr. Eddie Ruiz, beloved principal of North Springs Charter High School, will be leaving North Springs and moving to West Palm Beach, Florida to take over a new position as the "Area Director for School Accountability" for the West Palm Beach School District, effective November 9. Last Thursday, on October 22nd, Dr. Ruiz called an emergency meeting after school and informed faculty and staff that he would be leaving North Springs. He then sent home a robocall and an email home as well containing the letter that explained some of his rationale.
As principal of North Springs, Ruiz did many things, including bringing AVID to North Springs, expanding AP enrollment, introducing PBIS/Sparta Bucks, assisting with the vision for the Strategic Plan, and generally increasing school spirit among other things.
Ruiz will be beginning his new job on November 9. He will be moving to Florida over the weekend after the last Friday he will be at North Springs – November 6th. "My wife and kid will move soon after," said Ruiz. With his new job, Ruiz will be the "Area Director of School Accountability", but with a looming re-organization in West Palm Beach, he will likely be in a role similar to an Area Superintendent.
His new role will have him looking over three high schools and three middle schools in West Palm Beach, out of the 40 high schools, 39 middle schools, and 200,000 students in West Palm Beach (there are around 100,000 students in the Fulton County School System).
Ruiz just learned of the job opportunity during the week of October 12-15. He had contacts within West Palm Beach – Dr. Avossa and Dr. Christiansen, Avossa, who was the previous Superintendent of Fulton County Schools and Christiansen who was Ruiz's mentor and principal when Ruiz was working in Florida as a middle school assistant principal. While Ruizwished he could have stayed longer at North Springs and wished he did not have to leave so early, the job offer required him to leave earlier than expected.
When asked about his greatest accomplishment, Ruiz hesitated, seemingly deep in thought, and after a moment, remarked, "I think that my greatest accomplishment was bringing in the three Cs: Culture, Communication, and Consistency". He thoroughly elaborated, "We were able to get more involved in the community. We had an increase in the number of students coming here… and we became entrenched in our community. With communication, I think our weekly updates helped and tours," said Ruiz, "With consistency, I think that was another big thing we were able to do. We were able to put systems in place: discipline, tardies, and bell schedule," continued Ruiz. "Because of the good communication, the good consistency, we were able to create a good culture. The school spirit and morale have gone up," finished Ruiz.
The Interim Principal will hopefully begin on November 9, but "it is tough to find a qualified person who is available", said Gonzalo LaCava, the Central Learning Community's Area Superintendent. Fulton County Policy requires a retired principal to take over as the interim principal, yet naturally in November, it is more tough to do. Nevertheless, an interim principal will be named until the new principal is hired. "We are commencing a national search [for a new principal]," continued LaCava. There is a rigorous process that goes into hiring a new principal, which includes many interviews, personality testing, school fit tests, and interviews with members of the school community. "Hopefully we can get someone in here by the time second semester is here," concluded LaCava.
Ruiz plans on coming to graduation in the spring. "I also plan to attend the juniors' graduation. That is the thing I wish I had the chance to do: see seniors and juniors graduate," remarked Ruiz, "I can't guarantee I will be there for the sophomores though," continued Ruiz.
Ruiz was well-liked by students. "I will miss him so much. He made me put in effort and motivated me to succeed in school and in my life," said junior Raiya Collon.
Ruiz is going to miss the students too. When asked about the thing he will miss the most, without taking a breath, instantly remarked "the kids".
"Dr. Ruiz changed my life. He impacted me so much. He made me want to come to school in the morning," effused senior Akhairi Breland.

The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann in 2013 is one of my favourite movie. With Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton and Isla Fisher.
It's the story of a rich man living on West Egg during the Roaring Twenties. The movie is punctuated of excessive parties, secrets about the past and a love relation between Gatsby and Daisy. All the movie is told by Nick Carraway, Gatsby's neightbour and friend.
I'm crazy about this movie because it shows a different way of life than ours, like the Speakeasies, the Flappers, Prohibition, Golden Age of Jazz etc... The setting and the costume design are amazing, actors' playing are wonderful and my fascination about the Roaring Twenties increased after I watched this movie ( in fact I think I watched five times... ) Moreover the aestheticism and the film technics are great and numerous.
I advise you to watch it !!!

Why school still matters for your taxes after graduation
Hooray, you did it!! You've finished college or university and are now out there taking on the world! And whether you've found a job in a field related to your education, or you are simply glad to have it over with and doing other things, your time at school is still important for your taxes over the next little while after grad.
First, you will likely finish school with unused tuition credits. Even if you transferred the maximum amount each year to your parents (they probably helped pay your way, after all), people often still carry forward unused amounts with them into their after-school life. It is important to make sure these unused credits are claimed, as they will reduce your taxable income and may trigger a refund of taxes you've paid through your payroll over the year.
Second, one of the downsides of graduating is that student loan repayments start. The good news for your taxes is that the interest portion of your repayments creates a tax credit as well. You should receive an annual statement about your student loan, which tells you how much interest you paid - make sure this gets included in your tax return!

A group of Democratic senators asked Wells Fargo's chief executive for more details about the bank's recent boost in income from overdraft charges and whether it is related to its sales-practices scandal, according to a letter reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Senate Banking Committee Democratic senators led by Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren asked why the San Francisco bank's income from overdraft fees increased at a rate roughly five times higher than its peers as noted in a recent Financial Times article.
"Wells Fargo's overdraft income has increased disproportionately to the rest of the banking industry in the same way that Wells Fargo's cross selling exceeded that of its competition," according to the letter. It added that compensation incentives for overdraft services in some cases were structured similarly to those for banking accounts and credit cards.
A Wells Fargo spokeswoman said the bank hasn't made any changes to its practices that would result in more or higher overdraft fees for customers. She added that the bank hasn't had any banker incentive compensation or sales goals related to overdrafts.
The bank paid a $185 million settlement in September for opening as many as 2.1 million accounts using fictitious or unauthorized customer information. It has been in the spotlight for the past four months over its sales tactics and faces a spate of federal and state investigations.
Overdraft protection allows customers to complete a transaction even if they don't have enough money in a checking account. The largest banks charge a fee, typically about $35 per overdrawn debit-card or automated-teller-machine transaction.
The senators, who include Sen. Jack Reed (D., R.I.), Sen. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.) Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.), Sen. Brian Schatz (D., Hawaii) and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D., MD.), also cited reports from The Wall Street Journal that former and current employees detailed improper sales tactics related to overdraft protection services. In October, the article highlighted instances of managers pushing bankers to sign up customers for potentially costly overdraft protection that they didn't always need or realize they were getting.
The Wells Fargo spokeswoman reiterated Wednesday that the bank has adhered to a 2010 regulation that requires customers to opt into overdraft protection. The bank won't charge an overdraft fee on a one-time debit card transaction or ATM withdrawal without specific customer consent, she added.
The senators asked Wells Fargo for a host of information by Feb. 14.
They seek specific information related to overdraft-protection products, including sales goals, amounts of overdraft fees charged to customers and company policies related to overdraft, saying a response to a similar question asked in late September was "vague and incomplete."
They also asked for a breakdown from 2007 to present of the monthly income Wells Fargo has received from overdraft fees; customers signed up for overdraft protection without their consent; and employees who received increased pay for meeting sales goals related to overdraft products or those disciplined for not meeting those goals.
The senators, among seven other requests, also asked for information related to policy changes regarding fees, refund requests or other issues in the last 18 months.
The spokeswoman said the bank made two changes in 2014 to "reduce overdraft incidents" but also lowered its overdraft fee income in 2015. From 2015 to 2016, Wells Fargo's total overdraft fee income grew, she said, "due to a number of factors, including primary customer growth and increased account transaction activity," according to the statement.

This is a think piece in preparation for my next personals ad. Funny thing is, I hate personals, mostly because I pretty much shun meeting new people. Anybody who enjoys the dating process is deeply disturbed, anyway, but meeting a total stranger cold just because it seems like a good idea on paper -- that's a whole different ballgame. It's about as much fun as a job interview at the dog food factory.
My experiences with personals have been a mixed bag thus far. Best case: I had a fling with one really cool guy, but I'm not sure it counts, since it was actually his best friend whom I met on the personals board. Awkward. Worst case: I woke up in a stranger's room only to find out later that my housemate had had exactly the same experience just a few weeks earlier. I mean exactly. Really awkward.
One thing about blind dates is there's that unpredictable chemistry question: it can be as flat as last night's opened beer, or it can knock you out of your panties from across the room. And it's fickle in a way no number of flirtatious emails can predict. I have a friend who carried on a torrid email affair with a guy she met online for about two weeks; on the big night he picked her up -- and then returned her about twenty minutes later. In the car on the way to the restaurant, they had discovered instant mutual non-chemistry, and had the brains to call it a wash rather than putting themselves through yet another bad date. Good call. At least if you meet someone at a party or through friends, you have some time to suss out that tricky attraction factor prior to winding up sitting across the table from him or her at some gruesome trendy bar with the evening ahead looking about as long as War & Peace.
So why is it I'm thinking about posting again? I'll get to that later. (Probably in part 3 of this particular rant.) There's also . . .

Alrosa reports finding 103-carat diamond
Moscow--Alrosa recovered a 102.85-carat diamond from its Yubileynaya (Jubilee) kimberlite pipe, the Russian diamond miner announced earlier this month.
The company's Aikhal Mining and Processing Division extracted the stone in September at one of the processing plants used to sort materials from Jubilee.
Alrosa said the rough has an octahedral shape and is transparent with a moderate yellowish hue and small olivine, graphite and sulphide inclusions. It is expected to sell for more than $480,000 at auction.
The Jubilee pipe has yielded a total of six diamonds weighing between 50 to 120 carats so far this year. In late 2013, a 235.16-diamond was found there.

• Effective March 1, 2020, the new maximum loan limit is $1.79 million.
• Administrators should download the revised MOP-SHLP Allocation Request Form here.
The Mortgage Origination Program (MOP) is a recruitment tool to assist qualifying new faculty in purchasing their first home in the Bay Area. Eligibility for MOP participation is restricted to faculty with appointments in the Academic Senate series (Professor/ Ladder Rank, Professor In Residence, or Professor of Clinical X) or members of the Senior Management Group (SMG) within the first two years of their eligible appointment. In some cases, eligibility to participate in the MOP program may be offered to Academic Senate appointees as part of a retention effort. Faculty with appointments in the Adjunct or Health Sciences Clinical series are not eligible to participate in this program. Eligibility requires that candidates not already own or have owned in the past 12 months a primary residence in the Bay Area. Faculty may participate in the MOP program only once (unless they take a new appointment at a different UC campus).The UC home loan program cannot be used for refinancing.
MOP loans must be used to purchase primary places of residence which are single family dwellings (house or condominium). They cannot be used for second homes, income-generating property, duplexes, or TICs. No funds may be taken out in borrower equity or used for renovations or construction.
As of March 1, 2020, the maximum loan amount possible under the program is $1.79 million.*
For loans funded on or after August 1, 2019, the minimum MOP rate will be 3.25%.
The Mortgage Origination Program (MOP) provides first deed of trust variable rate loans with up to a 30-year term; not to exceed a loan-to-value ratio of 90% or a maximum income-debt ratio of 48%. The maximum annual adjustment of the interest rate for a loan, upwards or downwards, is 1.0%. The overall cap to the Standard Rate is 10% over the start rate. At no time will the Standard Rate be less than 3.25%. MOP loan payments are made via payroll deduction.
The calcuated MOP rate is the four-quarter average of the University STIP rate plus a 0.25% servicing fee. While the calculated rate may be lower, the floor rate for the MOP program is 3.25%. For refernce, the MOP rate has been holding at the minimum rate for nearlty a decade.

What happened
Shares of Xunlei Limited (NASDAQ:XNET) lost 30.5% of their value through the first half of 2018, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The sell-offs appear to be tied to a worsening outlook for the company's LinkToken cryptocurrency and broader pullbacks across the crypto market.
The Chinese company's stock climbed nearly 300% in 2017, with most of the gains tied to its announcement of a cryptocurrency and the huge interest in virtual currencies that occurred near the end of the year. It could be a rough road ahead for Xunlei shareholders.
So what
Xunlei's first big drop of the year arrived after the National Internet Finance Association published skeptical comments about the Chinese company's cryptocurrency projects on Jan. 12. The big valuation decline also corresponded with Xunlei's presentation at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show -- indicating that investors may have been disappointed with the details of its LinkToken cryptocurrency and OneThing Cloud infrastructure.
News arrived in early February that two class action lawsuits had been filed against the company alleging deliberate misinformation about its cryptocurrency projects, prompting big share-price declines. Sales then saw substantial sell-offs in March on the heels of disappointing fourth-quarter results that arrived a day later than initially planned.
Xunlei started as a provider of torrent downloading services, and then moved into the streaming-video space, and has recently pivoted to focus on cloud services and blockchain technologies. The company's cloud revenue has climbed substantially over the past year, helping to deliver a 118% year-over-year sales increase in its March-ended quarter. However, cloud revenue was up just 9.4% sequentially, and overall sales in the period were down 4% from the previous quarter, raising questions about the sales-growth outlook.
Now what
Xunlei is looking to bridge its cloud offerings into the U.S. market this year and expects to compete with Amazon.com in the space, according to CEO Chen Lei. However, with much of Xunlei's valuation seemingly tied to the fate of LinkToken and the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market, the stock remains a very high-risk investment. There's limited visibility as to how its cloud, blockchain, and cryptocurrency businesses will fare, and I recommend that investors steer clear of the stock.

Red Day lily- Hemerocallis is One of the Most Beautiful of the Day Lilies
Red Day-lThe Red Daylily is one of the most beautiful and classic of all daylilies. Its striking flower blooms a brilliant red trumpet-like bloom that is bordered by a contrasting yellow throat - each flower lasts no more than 24 hours, sometimes replaced by another on the same stalk the next day.
Red Day lily are Drought Tolerant and Able to Thrive in Hard to Grow Areas
They look great when there are a lot of them planted together and also adds great curb appeal to a home when they are in bloom. The usually bloom during the early spring and early summer months of the year. These plants also do great when planted around water gardens, ponds, and lakes.
These gorgeous flowers are drought tolerant and able to grow in the hardest areas with little care. They will bloom the middle of summer, and since they are growing in clumps, these perennials can be divided and replanted to continue to enhance your garden. They thrive in full or part sun and appeal to butterflies and hummingbirds alike.
The botanical name is a Greek name and means beautiful and day.
The Hemerocallis, more commonly known by the name, "Red Daylily" is a deep, red-orange flower with a bright yellow center. The petals are slightly rounded at the ends, and they lay nearly flat when the flower is fully open. Their blooms are huge, being on average a little less than seven inches across. The plant continues to produce buds that open over several weeks or even months. Red Daylilies are tetraploid, meaning they have 44 chromosomes, which gives them their vibrant color.
The Red Daylily is considered to be a "premium daylily" because of its brightly colored flowers and its durability, even in the cold of winter. It can thrive in many different types of soil and is rarely affected by disease and insects. It will grow best in full sun (approximately six hours per day) and slightly moist soil. Other than that, the red daylily requires very little additional care. It will continue to grow and produce new flowers with just a little new compost annually. It can be planted in zones three through nine, meaning that it will grow well in nearly any environment. For those looking to plant in the south, the best times are in the spring or fall, during colder months. For the north, spring is a good time; although red daylilies are so hardy, they can be planted nearly anytime until fall.

Its been important to follow each company's workflow and make sure all is in order, most of the companies have been popping into the chapman headquarters studio but some studio visits have been necessary. Justin equipped with his glasses popped to Bristol, visiting two of the companies involved the lovely Arthur Cox and hilarious A for Animation.
For the more technical minded of you out there what we were mainly looking at was depth budgets between cuts, any issues where the stereo is to much or even a side panning camera that works so well in 2D, but in 3D stereo its a problem. So we had three different styles to look at, all composited in Adobe After Effects but with very different work flows. Hand generated oil on glass looping textures of George Sander Jackson, precision drawing skills and character animation from Matt Walker and the mighty complex and hilarious work from the team of A for Animation directed by Jane Davies which will have you all in laughter.
Since we have been open with development so far we are not going lie, there have been issues with rendering the huge files, problems with stereo rigs breaking in the computer, to much depth in shots which just hurts your eyes. Orientation issues linked with point of interest of Camera's in Adobe After Effects, effect plugins that just don't work in stereo. These are just a few of the issues as we come to the point of compositing and outputting the film. So Justin did return from Bristol with a headache but with a smile on his face put there by the mazing visuals that are being fine tuned.
Just thought we'd let you know – Here's a Pic of the team.

EVANSTON, Ill. — To explain how, on God's green football turf, Nebraska managed to blow a late lead in its 34-31 overtime loss to Northwestern, Scott Frost had to walk roughly 70 steps from the door of NU's locker room underneath Ryan Field to a podium surrounded by reporters perhaps as stunned as he was.
Frost had to pass by a few of the clapping Husker fans who packed the bleachers and pass through a small, makeshift kitchen with a toaster oven, a microwave and nine giant jugs of water on the floor. This is a common scene in the bowels of unfamiliar stadiums, and sometimes — like when Frost walked among Central Florida fans after a Peach Bowl win last January — these are weird-but-wonderful journeys made in a haze of joy.
Saturday was so close to that. So close to Frost's first win at Nebraska, which led 31-21 with 5:41 left in the game. So close to the proof Nebraska players needed to reward the growth they've made in practice. Nebraska ran for 231 yards, forced two turnovers and even punted the ball like a college outfit should. So close.
"We had 'em right there," inside linebacker Mohamed Barry said. "We lost the game at the end. It's just crazy."
That Northwestern prevailed — or, perhaps more to the point, that the Huskers managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory — left Frost quiet, close to disbelief.
"Some of the things that are happening to us this year I haven't really ever seen before," Frost said about the fourth-down play in overtime when center Tanner Farmer snapped the ball through quarterback Adrian Martinez's legs.
"One, I don't call the defense, and two, make a play," Frost said of the defensive scheme when Nebraska allowed Northwestern's 99-yard, game-tying touchdown drive in the final two minutes of regulation. "One more play."
"There's 100 ways we could have won that game," Frost said about all the chances NU, now 0-6 overall and 0-4 in the Big Ten, had to put away the Wildcats and send away roughly half of the 47,330 fans at Ryan Field happy as heck.
Not to be.
Northwestern scored 17 fourth-quarter points that included the 99-yard touchdown drive and, even more frustrating to Frost, a 15-play, 62-yard drive for a field goal that had two fourth-down conversions.
The Wildcats (3-3 and 3-1) lost 10 yards rushing in the fourth quarter, but still gained 244 yards on the right arm of fifth-year senior quarterback Clayton Thorson, who threw for 455 yards and repeatedly squirted away from Nebraska's sluggish pass rush to find receivers like Flynn Nagel (12 catches, 220 yards) and Barrett Skowronek (six catches, 73 yards) for big plays and clutch conversions. Nagel alone caught five passes for 129 yards in the fourth quarter, repeatedly burning NU safety Aaron Williams, often matched up against Nagel in man-to-man coverage. Nagel drew multiple penalties against Williams, too.
"It isn't like we forgot to cover him," Frost said. "He made plays. He made more plays than the guys covering him made."
In all, Nebraska's defense was on the field for 31 plays in the fourth quarter, all of them passes, almost all of them run at a quick pace. That's a half of football packed into 15 minutes, and Thorson, who has beaten the Huskers three times, dissected an overmatched defense.
"It's not tired," Frost said. "It's not execution errors. You guys can look for reasons. They made more plays than we did at the end."
And Nebraska made its usual mistakes. Nine penalties for 89 yards — including a roughing-the-passer penalty on Northwestern's tying drive — against Northwestern's single penalty for 5 yards. Three turnovers from quarterback Adrian Martinez. His second-quarter fumble turned into a Northwestern scoop-and-score touchdown. His third-quarter interception, on a first down at the Wildcats' 29, killed a promising drive. Martinez threw into double coverage because he didn't expect a Northwestern safety coming into the play.
The Huskers led 20-14 at the time.
"That's my mistake," Martinez said.
Martinez only threw a few passes for the rest of the game as Nebraska turned to running back Devine Ozigbo — 22 carries, 159 yards, two touchdowns — and Maurice Washington to deliver the win. They nearly did, as Nebraska plowed out a five-play, 76-yard touchdown drive with all running plays. That gave the Huskers a 28-14 lead, their largest of the season.
But NU's final 15 plays of regulation netted just 31 yards. Two of the three drives were three-and-outs, and one of those came when a single first down would have sealed the win. On that series, Nebraska got 3 yards on three running plays.
Nebraska punter Isaac Armstrong trotted onto the field and buried Northwestern at its 1. Just 2:02 remained.
"They're on the 1-yard line and I'm thinking we've got this game sealed," said Barry, who had eight tackles but stood on the sideline for the final drive because NU was in a pass defense. "I thought it was the end. I thought we'd come off this field celebrating with my team."
Carlos Davis got flagged for roughing Thorson, who then hit six of his next seven passes, including a 5-yard touchdown to JJ Jefferson. Overtime. Northwestern's players danced and gathered together on the field. Nebraska's sideline wasn't celebrating one bit.
The Huskers' possession in overtime was a fitful disaster. A pass from Martinez to Ozigbo set up a third-and-1 — until Boe Wilson was flagged for a false start. On third-and-6, Martinez passed to JD Spielman, who gained 5 yards. It was fourth-and-1, and Frost decided to go for it instead of relying on freshman kicker Barret Pickering, who missed a field goal and an extra point in the game.
Farmer's snap to Martinez was bad. Martinez was forced to scramble and throw a desperate Hail Mary into the end zone. Northwestern intercepted it and later kicked the game-winning field goal.
"I try to learn through each experience," Martinez said. "I'd rather learn through winning."
Ozigbo said Nebraska has "checked off all the boxes" to win without actually winning. Outside linebacker Luke Gifford said the experience was still "a blur" to him afterward. It didn't seem quite real.
"The rah-rah stuff, that's got to go," said Gifford, who had a sack and four tackles for loss. "We've passed that point. Like Coach Frost said, we have made a turning point. I think we're on the way up, but these are the types of games we have to finish."
Frost said Nebraska needs to learn how to win. It has now been 10 games and nearly a calendar year since the Huskers have won. It is a streak of misery unparalleled in Nebraska history.
"(Vince) Lombardi said winning is a habit," Frost said. "Unfortunately, so is losing."
Not long after, he walked away from the podium, through the kitchen and past the security man at the door. He had one more interview to give, to Nebraska's own radio network, just outside the brick building underneath Ryan Field. During a pause in the interview, Frost leaned against the building, looked down and shoved both hands in his pants pockets, like a man searching for a dime. The trip home awaited.
Frost said during his press conference that he was running out of things to tell his team, other than to stick together.
"We'll keep scraping," he said.

Top 5 Hottest Restaurants in Mississauga: Jan 7 - 13
Here are the 5 hottest restaurants in Mississauga for the week of Jan 7 to 13, based on the amount of organic page views and searches these restaurants received on insauga.com.
5) Stir Kitchen and Beverage Co.
Stir Kitchen & Beverage Co. is a new restaurant located in a plaza along Hurontario St. just north of the 403. The spacious and open concept venue has exposed ceilings adorned with myriad of chandeliers and ceiling art. The large floor to ceiling windows of the space allow a flood of natural sunlight into the resto for the daytime crowd and in the evenings, the space is transformed with soft lighting and various wall mount fireplaces. The menu includes a number of starters, including daily house-made mozzarella, chef's charcuterie (mixture of daily cured meats, bocconcini, house-made preserves and grilled naan bread), beer and kale dip (served with naan, cassava, beet chips and plantain chips) and poutine (cheese curds, beer and butter braised mushrooms, applewood bacon and chipotle aioli). You will also find a variety of salads, stone oven pizzas, and mains such as the Stir burger (a decadent burger made with an 8 oz patty topped with a truffle and mushroom duxelle, a grilled steak tip, and demi-glace on a grilled brioche bun).
Tacos have never been synonymous with Asian cuisine, but as fusion food gets hotter by the day, it's not at all surprising--and is in fact quite delightful--to find restaurants that put their own unique cultural spin on traditional dishes from other parts of the world. Mi'Hito Sushi Lab, another creation by the team behind the successful (and growing) Spoon and Fork brand, just opened its doors in the Courtney Park entertainment plaza in Mississauga and it's serving customers everything from fresh Japanese take away to hearty sushi burritos to--for the first time--beautifully assembled sushi tacos. The resto is the brand's second foray into the quick-service arena, following closely on the heels of the recently-launched Corner by Spoon and Fork. The restaurant, situated in the former Prince Sushi location, is designed with modern sophistication in mind. The grey walls are artfully decorated with tree images, giving the establishment a vibe that's both natural and industrial. At Mi'Hito, you can get spicy salmon, spicy tuna, lobster, unagi, beef, chicken, veggie and tempura shrimp tacos and they come with a plethora of toppings, including lettuce, corn, salsa, avocado, cabbage, green onion, tempura bits and coriander. In terms of price, you get a lot of bang for your buck. The spicy salmon taco, for example, is absolutely overflowing with ingredients (and generous bits of tender salmon) and only costs $4.50. The lobster and unagi tacos are the priciest at $5 each, but the pricing is more than fair.
17 Steakhouse and Bar was one of the most impressive new openings of 2015. Millions were spent redesigning the majestic 32,000 sq. ft. space filled with over the top features such as a gorgeous oversized freshwater aquarium filled with a colourful array of African cichlid fish that's visible from both the main bar and one of the two private dining rooms. The menu includes a number of U.S., Ontario and Alberta prime cuts of beef, including the tenderloin, strip loin, prime T-bone, porterhouse and tomahawk. You will also find Japanese A5 wagyu and a reasonably priced American flat iron wagyu at $40 for 8 oz. Other options include oysters, ahi tuna, seared scallops, tempura shrimp, fish options, salads, duck confit, bison tenderloin, risotto, chicken, braised back ribs, charcuterie board, calamari and a seafood tower.
Lissa Genobaga and Damian Kubarski are a husband and wife team who are self-proclaimed foodies and steadfast local supporters who love their community in Clarkson - an undiscovered area of the city that has a number of gems including theirs: a brunch spot called Kravingz. The resto is unique for its made-from-scratch menu that supports local suppliers. They source a number of the ingredients for their dishes from local bakeries and suppliers such as Manila Bakery's specialty - a Filipino bread roll known as pandesal, produce from A.J. Lanzarotta, and other ingredients from Truscott Bakery and Sheridan Meats. Their signature dish is The Flip Side (house made longanisa which is a Filipino sausage served with crunchy garlic rice and a fried egg), The Polski Benedict (potato placki is a Polish potato pancake served with smoked salmon or peameal bacon, poached eggs and house made hollandaise), Chicken N' Waffles (crispy fried chicken served with bacon and jalapeno waffles, bacon dressing and coleslaw) and The Islander (jerk corned beef hash, corn and cheddar grits and poached eggs) are so far the most popular.
Imagine you've been whisked away to a Queen West bar. Ever since it opened, this place has been crazy. Even on weeknights, when other bars in the area are dead, this place is bursting at the seams with people and for good reason. Get ready to be amazed. Every aspect of this place -- including the space and menu -- has been designed with the utmost thought to detail. Although the food menu is only about five per cent of entire menu (there are only 13 items), you will find interesting takes on southern classics, such as chicken and waffles, Rub Me the Right Way beef brisket, Boars Gone Wild smoked sausage, bison chipotle frank, blackened shrimp and gumbo cheddar grits and the boss platter (BBQ sampler platter). All of meat is smoked with SmokinLicious' cherry wood and sugar maple wood chips, which "gives a nice sweetness to meat."

Floyd Mayweather Jr says MMA fight a 50-50 chance in 2018
Recently retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr says he has already started training for his MMA debut and expects to be seen in the cage before the end of the year.
"Fighting is not nothing new for me," Mayweather told Fighthype.com. "Fighting barefoot is something new, but fighting is nothing new for me. The thing is this — fighting a guy that has some unbelievable jiu-jitsu skills, unbelievable wrestling skills, but the thing is this: his chances of getting to me, I mean, the percentage of his chances getting to me to lock up with me, he has to come in first.
"But he may lock up with me, and he may get wrapped up in certain ways. You don't know how things could play out or how things could happen. With MMA, anything can happen. It's brutal. It's very, very brutal."
Last year Mayweather fought UFC superstar Conor McGregor in a boxing match that the 41-year-old from Grand Rapids, Michigan won by TKO 10. There have been calls for Mayweather to rematch McGregor in the Octagon ever since.
"I started training already," Mayweather told Fighthype.com. "Not the physical part – endiurance, as far as moving around. So far, I've started running…
"I'm thinking about fighting in the MMA. I've thought about it… I started training in Miami. I look forward to fighting probably by the end of the year. We don't know. Right now it's a 50-50 [chance] not 100 percent. But we've started training."
The outspoken boxer, who retired with a perfect record of 50-0 (27), has even claimed he is a bigger drawcard than the popular McGregor – in the UFC.
"I know right now I'm the biggest name in MMA," Mayweather said. "Hands down, I know this. And the second biggest name is Conor McGregor."
"Conor McGregor, tough, vicious competitor," he continued. "Of course, just like he feels he got dynamite hands with the 4-ounce gloves on, I feel like I got dynamite power with the 4-ounce gloves on."

"Should I message her?"
The Internet may seem like a giant place, but when it comes to looking online or even in town for a hookup we don't always come up with new options. The same women pop up over and over again, but even worst, they start to repeat themselves. Your ex is pretty likely to make an appearance on your sex personal list or even at the bars you go to. The question becomes: is it okay to hook up with your ex? There's a reason that she's not with you anymore, obviously, but it's more complicated than that. It's also somewhere you've already been, but is that really a good thing?
The Pros
The pros can be found, you just have to look for them. More often than not if you're considering hooking up with an ex she has to be either really hot or, and this is the more likely of the two, you're lonely. You haven't been able to find someone else to get it on with. That's okay. You've already been with your ex, you know that you like what's going on there, and you know how to press the buttons in all the right orders. It doesn't seem bad when you think about it logically.
Besides having conquered that land before, sleeping with an ex means that you're going to get some kind of boost out of it. Having sex will make you feel better because, hellooo sex. But even beyond the primal satisfaction you're going to have a confidence boost. It's nice having someone want to sleep with you. That means that you're desirable. Even guys want to feel wanted, and she's going to fulfill that for you.
The Cons
"Tell her that she doesn't deserve you anymore and walk away"
The cons are what really tip the scales here. Even though you've been there, done that, doesn't mean you should do it again. The temporary boost that you get through having sex with your ex is followed up with the terrible memory that it's all over. Things may have ended just fine and you don't feel residual love, but you still get reminded that you weren't enough to make things work for her. It's not the worst thing, but it's not the best. That's if the breakup wasn't a fiery rage of doom. In that case you'll be completely tormented by the fact that she'll have sex with you but won't actually be with you. You start questioning yourself and then get caught up in her again. That's not good.
Besides destroying your own emotions, hooking up with an ex is likely to start rumors. You may not think that you care about this, but when your friends find out and tell their girlfriends they're all going to be talking about it and think that there's way more going on than there really is. Your guy friends will be stuck in between and no one will be happy. Truthfully, it's probably better to forget the ex and go with someone who you haven't had relations with before.

A lot of things happened to Native American people during the Boarding School era that required them to be courageous. They needed to be courageous to get through all the things they were put through. The people were suffering from many things. They were dying. Their rights were being taken away from them left and right. What happened to them was wrong and very dehumanizing.
Many people were suffering for many different reasons. Some reasons
were diseases, such as small pox, influenza, tuberculosis, diabetes and
heart disease. Other reasons for their suffering were: alcoholism, poor
nutrition, and starvation. They needed to be strong through all of
that. These terrible things were happening to their moms, dads,
grandparents, other relatives and friends.
Another thing that was
happening to Native American people was that their kids were taken
away. The U.S. Government and the churches were taking them and sending
them to boarding schools. These agencies were forcing them to be like
the white man, and forced them to be Christian. The kids didn't even
get to go home after all that, they were sent to non-native foster
homes. If they weren't courageous, I don't think they could have made
it through all that.

Bear cubs rescued in India and wildlife traffickers arrested
Two endangered sloth bear cubs of only a few weeks old are now safe in a sanctuary funded by International Animal Rescue (IAR) after being seized from wildlife traffickers during a dramatic raid in India.
Two people were arrested during the joint operation by IAR's Indian partners Wildlife SOS (WSOS), the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department and the local police force.
Wildlife SOS leads a dedicated Wildlife Crime Intelligence Unit known as Forestwatch¹ which works across several states in India to control poaching and the illegal trade in bear cubs and other wildlife.
The unit had received information via its informer network that bear cubs were being smuggled from Orissa to various parts of India including Uttar Pradesh. WSOS worked closely with the Conservator of Forests to organise the raids in several villages in the Fatehpur area which led to the rescue of the two cubs.
International Animal Rescue is the sole UK funder of the Agra bear rescue facility which is caring for the cubs, and also of three other bear rescue centres across India. Alan Knight, CEO of International Animal Rescue, said "IAR and Wildlife SOS are working closely with the Indian Government to stamp out the illegal traffic in sloth bears for the dancing bear trade. To date we have rescued more than 355 bears, most of which are adult bears that we have taken off the streets, but some are cubs that have been poached from the wild.
Such young animals need specialist attention if they are to survive the trauma of being snatched from their mothers and kept in small boxes or sacks to keep them hidden from view. Our vets and keepers are experts in supplying them with the food and the round-the-clock care that will help them to survive in spite of the horror they have been through."
Kartick Satyanarayan, of Wildlife SOS said, "We worked closely with the police and forest department in this operation. Such seizures help to raise awareness of the issue of wildlife smuggling, and serve to deter further crimes of this nature in the area. It is appalling to see defenceless bear cubs being exploited in such a brutal manner for a few rupees".
Sloth bear cubs are stolen from caves after their mothers are killed by poachers for a mere 500 to 600 Rupees (between £5 and £6). The cubs are then bought by illegal wildlife traders who sell them on to Kalandars nomads who brutally insert a rope through the muzzle of the bears and then use them to entertain tourists.
The practice of dancing bears is banned under the Wildlife Protection Act of India of 1972 and is severely punishable with seven years imprisonment and a fine of 25000 Rs (about £300). Sloth bears are highly endangered and protected under Schedule 1 of the Act and are also listed on Appendix I of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.)

Il negativo in questione
- Authors: Cicatello, A.
- Publication year: 2017
- Type: Capitolo o Saggio (Capitolo o saggio)
- Key words: Adorno, Negativo, Dialettica

Adorno's critique of Hegel goes beyond the terms of a facile opposition between a positive and reconciled formula of dialectics and a negative version that insists on unresolved conflict. It should not be simplistically placed under the sign of reiteration of the negative. On the contrary, one could say that what is damaged by Adorno's philosophical proposal is precisely the negative in a radical sense affecting the fate of dialectics tout court. This is because the deeper meaning of Adorno's reference to the non-identical appears, precisely, as an instance of suppression of dialectical thinking as such. That is to say, the non-identical can reveal its face only to a gaze that, paradoxically, does not consider it mainly from the point of view of negation.

Fall is a great time to get your finances in order before the holidays. Here are few things to consider as you prepare for the holiday season:
Make Your Holiday List Now.
Don't wait until the holiday season to purchase holiday gifts. Not only is it very crowded and stressful, but you may pay more for gifts as the holidays get closer.
Review Your Benefits.
Now's a good time to take a look at your health benefits, because most companies have enrollment and re-enrollment during October or November. Look at the options available. Depending on the overall health of your family, you might want to consider choosing an option with a higher deductible that costs less per month, but only if it makes sense for you and your family.
Redeem Your Rewards.
If you have a credit card or other rewards program, use those rewards to purchase gifts or travel for the holidays. In many rewards programs, you only have a year to use them, so take advantage of that benefit now.
A little bit here and there can make a big difference when the holidays come. Plan now to make the best of your holiday season and have a more relaxing, enjoyable time with your family and friends.
How DuGood Can Help

This posting is just another way to celebrate the season... summer that is! One of my favourite things about this time of year is hanging out our family's clothes to dry. It has been so nice & warm lately that things dry outside very quickly. I hung wet sheets and pillow cases out over the railings and they were all dry in an hour! So nice.
Most everything on hangers can simply be hung up afterwards in the closet, usually no ironing is necessary. Everything smells so fresh too. The entire backyard smelled like the laundry room! Great way to spend a morning, I love summer.

It's almost shameful that we didn't realize this month is National Grilled Cheese Month until today. But don't worry, we've got plans to make up for lost time.
Each week in April we will be featuring a different grilled cheese sandwich — for $5 each!
This week we're offering a flatbread grilled cheese with gorgonzola and cheddar. You can add bacon for $2 or tomato for free. Each decadent cheesy masterpiece will come with your choice of fries or fruit.
Be sure to check out the blog (or our Facebook page) to see what other cheesy adventures we'll be embarking on this month. Then stop on by so we can make you a grill.

School heads shape students' values via school climate
Over time, students' personal values become more similar to those of their school principal, according to new research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Associational for Psychological Science. The findings indicate that head-teachers' values are linked with aspects of school climate which are, in turn, linked with students' own values.

If so, why?
I think the punchline of this hoax is going to be some sort of legislation and that would limit it to one particular country. I'm guessing some sort of chipping program is coming to the USA.

I made this card last year for a swap, and just put it away in a box. (This was long before I even knew that this world of blogging and sharing was out there!)
Hope you enjoy it! Again, the photo is terrible. The way the light hits it, it looks wrinkled and it is not! I promise, I am going to find an outside spot for picture taking, really I am!!!
I am going to post it over at 3 Clovers Designs, where the challenge this week, is not only to create a Father's Day card, but to be sure it has metal, etc., on it - I'm pretty sure this qualifies!
Have a great night - see you later!

Sports club websites used to be viewed primarily as an information source for schedules, ticket info, rosters and press releases. With the wealth of data available, the digital approach is rapidly shifting to a fan-first experience. The goal at the end of the day is to find new ways and new channels to engage and grow your fan base with information and access they can't get anywhere else. By leveraging data at both the individual club and aggregate league levels, this has helped identify the most engaging content, optimized page layouts and site structures, and trends from both a digital and organizational perspective. Learn about how the NFL's Club Digital Strategy team shares these findings with clubs in the annual Digital Scorecard. By focusing on a core set of traffic and engagement metrics that give context and relate to their club objectives, the data begins to tell a meaningful story of the impact that digital and social media has across NFL clubs.

Cabbage, Winter – Violaceo di Verona (Organic)
A winter Savoy cabbage with dark green and violet leaves. We were really pleased with Violaceo di Verona in our cabbage trials in 2018, in terms of vigour, pest resistance and looks.
This variety grows medium sized heads that can be harvested from July until mid-winter with successional sowings.
Another Italian heirloom of the region of Verona that has been preserved for its beautiful looks and its fabulous flavour. It is frost hardy and long standing. As the cold moves in the contrast of colours will get more bright.
(Approximate seed count – 100)

text: 2041 has recently launched the ClimateForce campaign – a carbon reduction initiative aiming to reduce 360 million tonnes of carbon by 2025. ClimateForce will create a coalition demonstrably responsible for reducing 1% of global yearly emissions by on-boarding climate-positive organisations and counting partners' CO2 captured/reduced towards the 360 million tonne goal. We believe counting organisations' critical efforts towards a single quantifiable goal brings added value to all parties from public visibility, motivation, and fundraising perspective. Additionally, for partners whose CO2 capture model is scalable, ClimateForce will also achieve reductions through donations specifically tied to carbon reduction. We believe that Cool Earth's efficacy in demonstrably capturing carbon through tropical conservation and its current strategic partnership expansion strategy makes it an ideal candidate for both of these elements of the ClimateForce Challenge. We believe that this partnership can bring both organisations closer to their mutual goals of protecting the environment and combatting climate change.

Horse Riding in the Pyrenees: Benasque Valley
I'm sitting astride a noble Andalusian horse overlooking the highest peaks in the Spanish Pyrenees. Below us is the verdant Valle de Benasque, a collection of tiny medieval villages along the Esera River. It's not even halfway through the day, and already horse riding in the Pyrenees has exceeded my expectations.
But let's back up to the morning and my arrival at Anima Equi. It is the area's premier equestrian tourism center, offering everything from pony rides and beginner lessons to week-long horse treks across the border into France (next time!)
I'm warmly greeted by the owner, Alvar, and his trusty trail dog, Simba. Then I'm introduced to the gray lead horse, Luna, and my own mount for the day, a bay Andalusian named Anzu.
I've been on many epic rides around the world — galloping around the Pyramids in Egypt, riding through rice paddies in Bali, an authentic cattle drive in Wyoming — but I've never been horseback riding in Europe. I'm excited to try it, on a beautiful Andalusian, at that!
"Andalusian" is a bit of a misnomer now, as the breed is now called Pura Raza Espanola (Pure Spanish Horse). Whatever you call it, the horse developed over centuries of careful breeding on the Iberian Peninsula. Once used as war horses and then present in every royal court in Europe, today's Andalusians are every bit as elegant, powerful, and proud as their predecessors.
I quickly discover this as I climb into the saddle and detect Anzu's eager but gentle temperament. The sun has barely peeked above the mountaintops as we set out down the cobblestone path towards the valley forest.
Our first stop while horse riding in the Pyrenees was the tiny village of Anciles. Its 183 residents live in stunning stone houses, some of which date back to the 12th century!
After clip-clopping down the ancient streets of Anciles, we started our ascent towards Cerler ski resort. The stony path that meandered through the forest was the only "road" through the area until the 1970s!
Just as we reached the chair lift (not operational, of course), we heard the unmistakable tinkling of a million bells. It was the same herd of sheep Jeremy and I passed on the road further up the valley the previous day.
Once the "traffic jam" of sheep passed, we continued past the ski resort towards Las Tres Casacadas — the Three Waterfalls. The trees thinned here, revealing broad grassy hillsides and 360-degree views of Pyrenees peaks.
Does horse riding in the Pyrenees disappoint? Not hardly! The scenery is stunning — my neck is stiff today from craning my head around so often to take it all in.
We follow Alvar and Luna up a steep hillside and dismount to enjoy a late breakfast and more killer views.
Refreshed and recharged, it was time to keep climbing. A narrow trail along the hillside brought us to the highest point of our trek, overlooking the entire Valle de Benasque.
After admiring the scenery (there was a lot of that going on!), it was time to begin our descent back to the valley floor.
The journey down began with the village of Cerler and its tiny, winding, breathtaking stone streets. It was such a cool experience to ride a horse through the alleyways, as people have been doing for centuries!
Once through the town, we took another stone path down the side of the mountain to the valley floor. It was the most technical part of the ride, squeezing between huge boulders and under low-hanging branches.
I was amazed at how well Anzu and Luna handled the trek, as the smooth stone surfaces can be slippery for horseshoes! A true testament to their fine breeding and excellent training, as I felt safe and secure through the entire descent.
At last, we arrived back on the valley floor, right in the lovely town of Benasque. Jeremy and I spent two nights here soaking up the medieval stone architecture and the 8,000-foot vertical rise of the peaks around us!
I quickly learned that horses are "vehicles" in a town this size, as we entered the roundabout and followed the flow of traffic down the main street. Another new experience for me while horse riding in the Pyrenees!
Up until this point, the terrain dictated that we move at a slow pace. Once we turned onto the riverside path, though, there was only one thing left to do.
Time to let the horses fly!
Anzu and Luna did not disappoint. Even after hours of climbing and descending the steep hillsides, they had no problem cantering for several miles along the riverfront.
We arrived back at Anima Equi tired, sore, sweaty, and smiling from ear to ear. I cannot wait until my next chance to go horse riding in the Pyrenees again!

The 2014 REF was carried out by the UK's larger education funding our bodies, and the results used to allocate analysis funding from 2015/16. For Science and Arithmetic placements, the main target is learners across the Grade 7 – 12 range.

In 2010, the Nationwide Academies launched Surrounded by Science: Studying Science in Informal Environments, forty seven based mostly on the Nationwide Research Council examine, Learning Science in Informal Environments: Individuals, Places, and Pursuits. One may, nevertheless, argue that the general public understanding of science and technology must be significantly better than it's, given the crucial position they play in up to date society.
There are a number of methods to get to know the Grasp's programme Educational Science and Expertise. With that said, many faculties will take to science experiments using fingers-on science merchandise and supplies. A broad public understanding of science and expertise is a vital democratic safeguard towards 'scientism' and the domination of consultants.
Trendy society is dominated by science and expertise, and citizens, performing as consumers and voters, are confronted with a variety of science- and expertise-related issues. The specialism is aligned with the Science, Maths and Expertise Research Centre which brings collectively academic staff, practitioners analysis students with interests in the fields of science, know-how, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
In these circumstances, science comes to be perceived as 'chilly', uncaring and lacking a human face. You can combine the Master's programma Instructional Science and Know-how with a trainer coaching programme. In other nations, it has received discovered accommodation within the science curriculum, though not simply as a source of fascinating examples invoked for example scientific theories or rules.
