The Greensboro Chiropractic Difference
We recommend patients already under maintenance care maintain the same schedule until the third trimester, at which point we recommend weekly visits.
During these visits, we change our methodology and exclusively use the Webster Technique which is a specific analysis for addressing the sacrum, pelvis structure and ligaments in pregnant women. Both Dr. Fonke and Dr. Gehrke are certified in the Webster Technique and are members of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

Welcome to this week's roundup of family-related technology news. It feels very much like a 'for-against' week. Some stories highlighting some of the negative aspects when tech is badly or excessively used, while others reveal the positive benefits of tech for children's education and development.

Is tech holding back children?
You don't have to look too hard to find an article claiming that technology is hurting children's development.
A school in Georgia suggests children's familiarity with mobile tech 'gestures' and texting is detrimental to their handwriting, which in turn inhibits learning, creativity, and fine motor skills.
The worry is particularly with elementary school-age children (ages 5-10).
Of course, the simple solution is to limit the amount of time children are allowed to use tech gadgets, and to continue to promote and encourage 'traditional' learning through both handwriting and drawing, as well as other creative and practical activities.

McCrory/Lewis kids 'banned' from weekday computing
How we love emotive words like 'banned'. Pair that with a couple of celebrities and you really have a story…
Apparently, actor couple Helen McCrory and Damian Lewis have stopped their two kids from using computers during the week, and at weekends they have a '10 minute rule'.
You can be sure there will be plenty of comments arguing both for and against this kind of approach — we haven't read the public dialogue on the original article as it often gets quite bitter and aggressive.
We're not going to judge a parents' individual response to bringing up their children.
In general, we think it's commendable that parents are encouraging children to do things that don't involve technology, to not automatically reach for Google, and to explore their emotions and feelings free from the clutch of tech.
That said, we wonder at the effect such heavy restrictions will have on a child's tech development skills. If a child only has 20 minutes use per week of tech, how are they going to learn and thrive in our digital/tech world?
How Tech Companies Market Products to New Parents
Here's an interesting article about the way technology companies market products to pregnant and new parents.
We know companies play on various fears and insecurities in order to sell products. Around the time of pregnancy and new birth, parents are often particularly insecure about how they're doing and what products they should be using to make their lives easier, and improve/assist their parenting skills.
One unfortunate effect of this is that many "parents buy name-brand, expensive products to feel more confident". You can see what a potentially lucrative market this is.
That said, the companies who do it right can really capitalise on word of mouth marketing, because repeat business is far less common than product evangelism.
Thankfully there are a number of independent web sites which encourage parents to look for the best, not necessarily than the most glossy/branded/expensive, products, based on genuine reviews from users.
Teaching Kids About 3D Printing
Printing in 3D is set to become an important technology in both industry and consumer markets. i3D Creatives is a 3D design education platform aimed at 8-15 year-olds. Founder John Bokla says, "I believe kids today, with access to current technology and 3D printing are going to be the most creative generation ever! Coming up with amazing new ideas and innovations as they bridge the gap from their imagination to reality."

Online Danger survey
A survey by security software company Kaspersky has revealed that over two-thirds of users of its Kaspersky Lab's Parental Control technologies encountered 'inappropriate online content' last year.
60% encountered pornography, while over one-quarter found gambling sites, 20% sites about weaponry, or profanity, or violence, and 10% about alcohol, drugs or tobacco.
Unsurprisingly, Kaspersky is pushing the use of its own parental control software, although to its credit it does also highlight the need for human interaction and monitoring of children's Internet use by parents.

Pc Software And Hardware Basic Data
Earlier than you get started together with your new website or editing your current site, you have to think about which hardware and software tools you might need to help your efforts. Drivers are granted privileges that customers do not get and may cause untold damage to pc systems if they're improperly programmed. Standing for " Random Access Reminiscence", these are memory chips in rectangular type that are available various sizes and speeds and act as a buffer for data being transferred to the mind of the computer, the processor.
Some of the extra frequent hardware that people are conscious of are CD-ROM drive, which allows for a computer to learn particular info situated on a CD, and the FLOPPY disk drive, which is a a lot older hardware, allows people to merely do the identical exact factor as CD, but in a much less ample method.
Laptop hardware elements are the only hardware components that make up the entire pc system, such as the motherboard, processor or onerous drive. These reminiscence components are our next examples of computer hardware. What ever the cause of the software program or pc hardware failure, you could definitely determine the failure and repair it if you need your personal machine to operate because it should.
These requests usually take the type of excessive-stage codes from a programming language used within the creation of the software program. However either means, the pc wants that driver earlier than it can discuss to the printer or whatever other type of machine you may have hooked as much as the computer.
Basic Computer Hardware And Software program
Hardware is the less glamorous side of computer revolution. In case your laptop is just not recognizing a chunk of hardware equivalent to a printer, sound card or mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall it. If this doesn't work, verify the model you have with the newest version on the Web. Most computers have already got programs loaded into it that "drive" the system.
Due to the widespread use and integration of computer systems into on a regular basis life, it is laborious to separate the fields of Electrical Engineering and Pc Engineering. This will normally cause knowledge loss within the exhausting disk. If the machine fails this test, proper off the bat you understand you've a hardware drawback.

text: Atul Patankar 536 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 As reported at www.thaindian.com on 12 March 2009 Panaji, March 12 (IANS) Fiona Mackeown, the mother of slain British teenager Scarlett Keeling, has filed a Right to Information (RTI) application seeking details of the Goa police's investigation into her daughter's mysterious death February last year. The application was received by the police early this week. Police authorities, who have been target of Fiona's criticism for bungling the investigations into Scarlett's murder, are not sure how the RTI application should be handled. A senior police official maintained foreigners do not have the right to apply under the Right to Information Act. "Only citizens can ask queries under RTI. Foreigners cannot. Plus she has sent it across from UK by e-mail without paying the mandatory court fees," the official said. The preamble to the RTI Act clearly says that it can be used only by Indian citizens, the official added. Confirming the receipt of the RTI query from Fiona, Superintendent of Police (North) Tony Fernandes Thursday said: "We have received the RTI application. In all likelihood, we'll forward it to the Central Bureau of Investigation, because they are investigating the case now. "I have brought the matter to the notice of my superiors, who will take a final call."

Kaspersky CEO, Eugene Kaspersky, recently revealed the extreme threat that nuclear power stations are facing, as Stuxnet, the most sophisticated computer worm ever designed and programmed to target Iranian nuclear facilities, has now reached a Russian nuclear power plant.
Commenting on this latest infrastructure threat, Tony Burton, Critical Infrastructure Protection Business Lead at Thales UK, discusses the importance of securing the technology that underpins the generation and distribution of nuclear energy today. Thales is one of few companies able to provide a holistic approach to security as mandated by government for critical national infrastructure, including for the existing fleet of EDF UK nuclear power stations for over 25 years.
According to Tony, "Technology plays a central role in the generation and distribution of nuclear energy, so ensuring that security capabilities meet modern-day demands is critical. These interconnected systems present an attractive target for those with malicious intentions regarding critical infrastructure.
Stuxnet is believed to have been created to target Iran's nuclear facilities, highlighting the willingness of state organisations to wage cyber-warfare on key elements of national infrastructure. The chief of GCHQ has warned of an 'exponential rise' in cyber-attacks on UK government departments and industry; this is a threat that must be taken seriously.
Cyber-security however should not sit in isolation but rather be tightly integrated with plant processes, people and the physical environment. When managed together, technologies such as cryptography, biometric authentication and pattern-of-life detection can all play their part in protecting people, places and sensitive information. All too often, we see physical and digital security treated as separate entities during the design process – indeed, securing the physical premises can often be treated as an afterthought to be taken care of once they're built."

Lead Story: Woodstock Basketball has a winning record! The boys are now 8-5. For the first time in 19 years, Woodstock has a shot at state. Every single team in Cherokee County goes to play offs. The last seed plays the top seed, so the Wolverines usually drop out after first round. Having a winning record may be the push that our men's basketball team needs to have a leg up at state. Every team in Cherokee County has made it to state before, except for Woodstock, so maybe this year, our team's momentum will take them there.
Only the top four teams go to state. Right now we are fourth in the region, with a good chance to make it to state. We would still have to finish out strong, but it looks good for the Wolverines.
In Case You Missed It: Over the break, the boys played in a Pickens County Tournament. The three day tournament consisted of one game a day. The boys went 2-1 at the tournament, winning the first and third days and losing by only 5 points on the second day. Way to go boys!
Wolverine(s) of the Month: Tyreke Johnson, also known as the "Free Throw Master"
Quotable: Coach Clarke, the man behind the winning record, is always intense, but never negative. He tells him team every day, "The most important thing is we are one unit. We can't point fingers and we need to pick each other up." Anyone who has walked passed the locker room could see Coach Clarke is big on motivating the boys. There are signs on all the walls in the boys locker room that are there to inspire them. One reads, "19 years of mediocrity ends today." Having all of this positive energy around has clearly made an impact on the boys this season.
Off the Court: Coach Clarke is not only there to motivate, but also bring the team together. He strongly believes in team bonding, so over Christmas break, he hosted a dinner at his house and the whole team, including assistant coaches, joined him and his family for a Christmas dinner. This was a team activity that brought the boys closer, rather than just a practice or a game. They got to know each other off the court a little more than they already do.
By the Numbers: Right now the Wolverines are 5-3 in the region. Woodstock hasn't seen a record like that in almost 20 years! This is a big deal for the Wolverines and may be the drive they need to finish this season together and make it to state.
Looking Ahead: The Wolverines are a little over half way through their season. With such a strong start, and only 10 games left in the season, the boys would love the support from the Wolverine nation to come out and support the boys as they draw closer to the end of this season.

Boys in the Front, Girls to the Back
A deplorable example in a public school setting
Narrated Um Atiya:
We were ordered to bring out our menstruating women and veiled women in the religious gatherings and invocation of Muslims on the two 'Id festivals. These menstruating women were to keep away from their Musalla (open space outside a mosque mainly used for praying).
Bukhari 8.347
In the Islamic world women's unequal status is affirmed everyday during prayers in a mosque or in the open space around Allah's House of Prayer, the Musalla. This is pretty much how we do it over here, including how we do it in the ostensibly secular Canadian public school system.
Public schools in Ontario, in apparent contravention of Ontario's Education Act, have been allowing Muslims to hold prayer services on school property, such as the cafeteria at Valley Park Middle School (Toronto District School Board) in the following picture.
In the picture, boys are in the front, in the back, separated by benches, are girls, and still further back are girls who are not praying, for there is no point, it's their time of the month. Allah will not listen to females who are menstruating and expects them to be kept as far away as possible from those worshipping his Almightiness.
Females, whether they are menstruating or not, cannot worship in front of males for that would annul the male's prayers. For this bit of information we are indebted to the Prophet's closest companion and confident, his child bride Aisha:
Narrated Aisha:
The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)."
I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs.
I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away for I disliked to face him."
Bukhari 9.490
Aisha said [to Muhammad]: "You have made us equal to the dogs and the asses."
Muslim 4:1039
Islam's greatest historian, al Tabari [839 - 923], in his 38 volume universal history of the world from Adam and Eve to 915 corroborates Aisha's recollections of women being compared to domestic animals:
Treat women well, for they are like domestic animals with you and do not possess anything for themselves.
Tabari vol.9 p.113
Education director Chris Spence is quoted as saying that "As a public school board, we have a responsibility and an obligation to accommodate faith needs," even rituals that are meant to remind females of their place in the man's religion, a place they share with donkeys and dogs.
I wonder what Chris Spence would do if a Muslim Rosa Parks wanted to worship in the front rows, or next to boys. Would he tell her to get to the back of the bus … I mean to the back of the cafeteria?
One of the last refuge for children and young people from the relentless bombardment of the word of God, the secular public school system, has been breached, and we should be worried.

Memoir: Work Notes
Got the information I had requested and been pouring over it all. Not being an accountant has hindered me some but as far as I can tell the XO was correct - there is a surplus of money which means they've somehow managed to come in under budget. I'm not sure if this is worrisome or not, however. Just -where- did these bastards cut corners? I'm guessing that they wouldn't dare to cut costs on important systems like life support but it is still a bit discomforting to think about, just the same. Definitely necessitates more reading.
Enough writing. Back to pouring over numbers.

PLAINFIELD, Ind.– The former owner of an in-home day care in Plainfield received her sentence in connection with the death of a child.
Melanie Messer was sentenced to 30 years Thursday for aggravated battery. Twenty years will be served in the Indiana Department of Correction and the remaining ten years will be served on probation.
The 16-month-old child unresponsive at Messer's home in the 1100 block of East Hadley Road on Aug. 8, 2016. She was transported to the hospital with a severe brain injury. Three days later, she died.
The Department of Child Services said the in-home day care was operating illegally. Messer had previously been told to stop, or get licensed with the state.
Messer told FOX59 after the child's death that she was a family member and the incident was "hard on everyone."
She pleaded guilty in the case on April 4, 2018.
On Thursday, the toddler's grandmother Lori Arnett said she's thankful that justice is being served.
"No one was a winner today. Two families lost a part of their family today. The judge was fair in her decision and seen the same things our family seen– that there wasn't any, no kind of remorse coming from her," Arnett said.


text: Lock Your Conference. Once everyone's arrived, shut the door and lock it. Lock your conference call against further arrivals. If everyone's there, then start without further interruptions. And it's also a great way to insure prompt attendance… It's a feature that's standard on most of our conference call services. You lock your call using the dialpad on your telephone. NOTE: Once a guest leaves a locked conference call…they can't return. NOTE #2: An operator can't join your call, either, if there's a problem caller.

President Rev. Dr. Wheeler
The Interdenominational Theological Center's President Rev. Dr. Edward L. Wheeler announced on April 26 that he is retiring from the role he's held for the past four years. Wheeler made the announcement during a board of trustees' executive meeting, on campus.Wheeler is the 10th person to serve in ITC's top leadership role since its founding in 1958. Wheeler stated in his remarks to the board that he will be concluding his presidential position effective June 30, 2019, a position he has held since 2015.
The ITC board of trustees' accepted the retirement letter with an expression of gratitude for Wheeler's services.
"I have been blessed by my time at ITC," Wheeler said. My prayer is that new leadership will help ITC realize its unlimited potential. ITC's liberating Africentric focus is needed now more than ever."
Under Wheeler's leadership, the institution has achieved several goals which include:
ITC's Board will spend the next two months identifying what the next President's work will be. An interim will be appointed to assume the duties of the presidential office, and a search will be launched later this year.

Police in Nima have arrested one person in connection with the physical assault on a suspected homosexual at Nima, a suburb of Accra.
A video that showed the victim, Albert Appiah popularly known as Kinto, being attacked by a group of young men who accused him of being a homosexual surfaced on Facebook about two days ago.
Describing the incident to Citi News, the Divisional Commander of the Nima Police Command, ACP Nuhu Jango ruled out any suspected gay allegations against the victim.
He told the media that initial investigations seem to suggest that the gay allegations are "complete cooked-up story against the victim, Albert Appaih also called Kinto."
Narrating how the incident took place, ACP Jango said: "He had some friendship with one Salim Abubakar. They used to visit each other and they became friends through social media so they got close." "He came to visit him as he always does and Salim to have a one on one chat with him in private so they stood by the victim's car so from nowhere, four people sat at the back seat alleging that he was sodomizing the other guy.
Meanwhile, they were not sitting in front of the car and this Salim never complained that he had been sodomized." The suspects then beat him up mercilessly and carried Kinto from one location to the other until they took him to an ATM machine and asked him to slot in his card and give them [suspects] some ransom. ACP Jango also hinted that the suspect, Barry Abu will be processed for court on Wednesday.
He explained saying, "we are sending this man to court because nobody has reported any unnatural knowledge case to us. What we are handling as you see now is assault on this man."

"Why I Left BuzzFeed" videos created by ex-employees is going viral on social media.
The videos explain why these young media talents left the listicle gossip site.
Among the many reasons expressed in the videos…recurring themes include wanting more creative control and ownership of work; BuzzFeed's policies prohibiting outside projects; and feeling burned out from the pressure of constantly trying to hit high view counts.
The confessional videos have amassed millions of views, as interest surrounding the inner workings of the media company's content factory are exposed to outside eyes.
Of course, for media companies, talent comings-and-goings are certainly nothing new. What's different about BuzzFeed is that it grooms its video producers to make identity-based content, so their instincts are to document their career change — in a public forum. They're also more likely than, say, former "Saturday Night Live" cast members to attempt to leverage the fan base they've amassed at BuzzFeed for their own digital content (as popular BuzzFeed personality Matt Bellassai decided to do a year ago).
And, ironically, they're making "Why I Left BuzzFeed" videos because BuzzFeed has trained them to focus on creating stuff that can go viral.
For Chris Reinacher, who said he made more than four hours of video during his stint at BuzzFeed, the primary problem was the mind-numbing requirement to be a jack-of-all-trades — writing, shooting, acting in and producing the short-form videos. Mainly, "I started thinking, if I wasn't multitasking all the time, maybe I'd be able to make some better content," Reinacher said in his "Why I Left BuzzFeed" video last week.
"To BuzzFeed, in a lot of cases quantity trumps quality," ex-employee Kenny Moffitt said in an August 2016 video. He left because "I wanted to have more control over my videos, I wanted to focus on my own channel… and I have been so much happier." Working 8-9 hours daily at BuzzFeed didn't leave time to work on other projects, he noted.
Asked to comment on the trend of ex-employees airing their grievances, a BuzzFeed rep told Variety, "We're happy to have played a role in launching these people's careers, and we wish them the best."
What's behind the spurt of BuzzFeed employees sharing details of their exits? For one thing, it's proven to be a reliable traffic generator, especially for a fledgling YouTuber striking out on his or her own. "Excited for my new video, 'Why I Left BuzzFeed,'" popular YouTuber Phil DiFranco tweeted on Monday. "I've never worked there, but it seems like the easiest way to get 2 million views."
The "Why I Left BuzzFeed" meme has even inspired a rash of parody videos — aimed at riding the viral tide — including several choleric BuzzFeed-bashing videos from a British YouTuber who goes by Chubbs.
The friction between BuzzFeed and its video employees has come to a head in the past year: The company has fired employees for working on non-BuzzFeed projects. Last June, writer-producer-actor Jenny Lorenzo and Brittany Ashley (who worked on BuzzFeed's popular series "You Do You" and wrote the script for the first season) were let go for allegedly violating their exclusive contracts with BuzzFeed after they appeared in a web series produced by America Ferrara. Sources familiar with BuzzFeed say it's re-evaluating the terms of how it works with creators in such situations in the future.

Interest in personal wellness has increased significantly in recent decades. In 2016, the Slow Food Movement celebrated its 30th anniversary, and local food is all around with farmers markets, CSAs, and farm to table restaurants. Additionally the use of complimentary health approaches has nearly doubled since 2002 with approximately 21 million adults practicing yoga and 18 million practicing meditation.
      A local organization, SunRaven Farm: The Home of Slow Medicine, aims to satisfy all branches of personal wellness by nourishing the whole being – the mind, the body and the soul.  Participation in a hands-on, working and learning garden experience is offered as a part of this approach.
Located in Bedford, Sun Raven offers a Garden Co-Op, which combines the benefits of a CSA membership with personal involvement growing the harvest, community gatherings and meditation.
This unique Garden Co-Op had 15 member-families this summer who enjoyed coming together for nearly 40 weeks, participating in interactive workshops, centering themselves through mindful activities and rolling up their sleeves to dig in the soil, nurture seedlings, and tend to the life-supporting and lush plants they grew. During harvest weeks they took home shares of the bounty that they grew together including delicious ripe garden vegetables, herbs, teas, flowers and eggs.
The group of participants were strangers in March, but over time became a supportive community to one another. Many expressed that their approach to cooking and eating transformed during the experience because of the nutrients, the positive care and the love they knew went into the food they consumed. According to Sun Raven, the most profound aspect of the connection people make to food through this holistic approach is a respect and stewardship for their own health and for the land.
According to SunRaven's founder and executive director of the Slow Medicine Foundation, Dr. Michael Finkelstein, affectionately known as the Slow Medicine Doctor, "Participating in a community garden is an integral part of nourishing the whole being –  growing your own organic bounty, interacting with others and with nature, moving your body doing something you love — these all nurture good health."
SunRaven: The Home of Slow Medicine advertises that it is for those looking to live, study, or facilitate a whole-being vision of health and wellness. For more information about the SunRaven Garden Co-Op and Slow Medicine, visit www.slowmedicine.org.

Formulating Tips for Epoxy-Anhydride Cure Systems 3: Schools of Thought
Readily available epoxy chemistries such as amine curing technologies dominate the market, but are they the best option when parts must retain critical physical, mechanical and electrical properties at higher temperatures for sustainable periods of time? General education and training naturally focus on widely applicable chemistries rather than niche formulations for high-performance applications. While multifunctional epoxy resins can increase performance using standard epoxy curatives, using specialty anhydride curatives is often the better option.
In the following video, our expert panel discusses specific examples of a lack of exposure to epoxy-anhydride cure systems leading to misconceptions and users overlooking the benefits of anhydride curing technology.

OPPO has long been a dominant player in the offline segment of the Indian smartphone market. Now it seems that brand is also gearing up to expand its network in the online domain as well. Flipkart has recently put up a new teaser page announcing the launch of a brand new series from the Chinese brand. However, the teaser page doesn't reveal much about the upcoming smartphone or series.
According to the teaser, OPPO will soon launch a new smartphone that will offer 'latest tech at an incredible price'. One of the technologies showcased on the page is the in-display fingerprint sensor. Notably, OPPO has already used this tech on a number of smartphones before, such as the R17 Pro. However, unlike the R17 Pro, the new series from the brand is expected to be more pocket-friendly since it mentions an "unbelievable price." The teaser image also hints at gradient colour option for the smartphone as the rear casing's colour changes from the sides to the bottom.
While the teaser doesn't reveal any key details, from the look at the bottom half, the smartphone seems to be the OPPO K1 in Van Gogh Blue finish. To recall, the OPPO K1 was launched in China back in October 2018 and is touted to be the most affordable smartphone with under-display fingerprint scanner. The phone ships with a 6.4-inch full HD+ display with 91 percent screen-to-body ratio and boots ColorOS 5.2 custom software based on Android 8.1 Oreo. It is powered by the Snapdragon 660 AIE processor and is offered in China in two configurations, 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage.
On the rear, the phone sports a 16-megapixel primary camera with f/1.7 aperture mated to a 2-megapixel depth sensor. As for selfies and video calling you get a 25-megapixel selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture. The smartphone is being offered in two hues – in Van Gogh Blue and Mocha Red colour options, both in gradient finishes. As for the prices, OPPO K1 retails at RMB 1,599 (about Rs 16,300) for the base 4GB RAM and 64GB storage option, and RMB 1,799 (roughly Rs 18,400) for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant.

Attributing human characteristics, thoughts or purposes to non-human animals, plants or other inanimate materials or beings, including 'god/s'. For example, 'to describe a river as angry' is to anthropomorhise it.
A big mistake when handling dogs is to believe (when they aren't behaving exactly as you want them to behave) that they are deliberately being naughty, willful or belligerent. Dogs cannot even spell those words – let alone be them – yet around the ringside at dog shows you hear it all the time.
For example, do any of these statements sound familiar?
- "Gosh, Rover was so naughty in the ring today"
- "Rover is just so willful"
- "I can't do a thing with Rover. He's just so belligerent/stubborn/obstinate/headstrong etc."
If you allow yourself the indulgence to believe these anthropomorphic misnomers, your handling finesse is doomed to failure. Why? Because these words describe human traits not dog traits. Rover isn't human. Rover is just a dog doing 'dog' things.
When a dog that we are handling in the ring does not perform the tasks we expect of them, we may mistakenly believe that Rover has conjured up some kind of sinister plot just to defy us.
This misinterpretation can lead to disaster because our reaction to our dog's actions will be misguided at best and woefully inadequate at worst.
As a handler, I never try or attempt to interpret what my dog 'might' be 'thinking'. Instead, I limit my human-centric opinions in favour of two simple reasons why my dog has not done what I have asked of them.
- I have confused the command or signals that I've provided to my dog.
- My dog does not regard me as the 'top' dog (or leader) in our relationship.
I will now breakdown how you can respond to each of these problems.
1 I've confused the command or signal.
For every action you require of your dog, a command or signal is required. This might be anything from a signal for 'action' or a signal for 'calming'. For your dog to grasp exactly what you require of them, every command or signal that you give should comprise of one or combination of the following three aids:
- Sound
- Sight
- Touch.
Should any of these commands or signals be out of sync, i.e. you intend to calm your dog but instead send them an action signal, or combination of a calming and action signal, then your dog will be confused. As dogs cannot always guess what we expect of them, when confused they revert to their instincts and respond by doing 'dog things', which we often falsely interpret as being headstrong, naughty, willful etc.
2. My dog does not regard me as the 'top dog' or leader.
If your dog does not consider you as the 'top dog' or leader in your relationship, why should it do what you want when you want them to do it?Even if you are the 'top dog' in your relationship with your dog, it's still your dog's natural precondition to keep testing you all of its life. Within the laws of canine packs, this is nature's way of ensuring that the 'top dog' that your dog places its total trust in for everything must always be worthy of the position as their leader.
A classic test of dog and handler in the show ring is when we place the feet and then our dog moves a foot.
So, what can you do?
When unsure in the show ring, dogs often contest their leader. This might include not standing still for the judge, moving about on the stack or not performing on the move as your require.
When you need your dog to do something in the ring but they 'act up' or become 'naughty', 'headstrong' or 'willful', do not become cross or angry just because you're being challenged. On the contrary, I encourage you to be thrilled that your dog just wants to check if you are serious about your leadership competency and status.
Whenever your dog challenges you in the ring, I urge you to keep in your mind that this is just a test for the position of TOP DOG and the winner is the one who NEVER GIVES UP.
The most beautiful part about these tests is they are unlike any other. While you cannot control a particular judge's preferences (or politics!), if you follow these basic principles then you've won before you start. Yes, for the first time in your life you cannot fail a 'judging' test. All you have to do is remain consistent and persistent and, if you do so, you will always win something more important than a blue ribbon; you'll be winning that so-called 'naughty' dog's trust and respect.

Jewish History: Soviet Jewry
Artists: Russia and the Soviet Union
Women in general and Jewish women in particular have been participating in the artistic life of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union for over a hundred years.
Raissa L'vovna Berg
Raissa Berg is an outstanding biologist and geneticist of international repute, a defender of human rights in the Soviet Union, an abstract painter and a writer.
Canada: From Outlaw to Supreme Court Justice, 1738-2005
The positive aspect of the Canadian mosaic has been a strong Jewish community (and other communities) which nurtured traditional ethnic and religious values and benefited from the talent and energy of women and men restrained from participation in the broader society. The negative aspect has included considerable antisemitism and, especially for women, the sometimes stifling narrowness and conservatism of the community which inhibited creative and exceptional people from charting their own individual paths.
Communism in the United States
In the forty years following the Russian Revolution of October 1917, communism was the most dynamic force in American left-wing politics and a primary mobilizer of radical Jewish women. At the center of this movement lay the American Communist Party, which grew out of various radical factions inspired by the October Revolution. In December 1921, most of these groups came together as the Workers Party, renamed the Communist Party USA (CP) in 1930.
Contemporary Jewish Migrations to the United States
In the largest Jewish immigrant wave since the 1920s, nearly three hundred thousand Soviet Jews settled in the United States after 1970. More than two-thirds of all Jewish immigrants to the United States since 1980 have been from the (former) Soviet Union. Women, who comprised fifty-three percent of those who arrived during the wave's peak, between 1970 and the 1990s, came to the United States with an unusually high degree of professional and technical skills. In contrast to the 16.5 percent of American women who worked as engineers, technicians, or other professionals, over two-thirds of Soviet Jewish émigré women had worked in these occupations prior to their arrival. As is consistent with their occupational status, these Soviet Jewish women immigrants were also highly educated. Their average number of years of schooling was 14.2. Despite their high degree of educational and occupational attainment, women's salaries in the USSR were only fifty-seven percent of those of men.
Demography: Soviet Union, the Russian Federation and other Successor States
Marriage and Divorce. Before World War II the Jewish marriage pattern was rather favorable for fertility. In 1939 one half of the Jewish women aged 20–24 and more than 70 percent of those aged 25–44 in the Russian Federation were currently married. However, in 1959, the percentage of currently married Jewish females below the age of 25 was much lower than it had been in pre-war 1939 (Table 1). This may be seen as an indirect indicator of the rise in age at first marriage between the two censuses, for which we have no direct data.
International Council of Jewish Women
The International Council of Jewish Women (ICJW) is an umbrella organization for forty-nine affiliates representing some two million women in forty-six countries. The head office rotates according to the place of residence of its current chairwoman, who is elected for a period of three years. Plans for future actions are decided on by a team of directors at international triennial conventions which take place in various countries. Each affiliate organization of the ICJW retains its own name and has its own projects. The ICJW is an entirely voluntary organization based on the good will of women motivated by their belief in the humanitarian duty rooted in in Judaism, in the vocation of the Jewish woman or mother, or simply in a sense of Jewish solidarity. Established in the early twentieth century and reconstituted immediately after World War II, ICJW never ceased its development throughout the vicissitudes of the past century.
Irina Jacobson
Irina Jacobson, a Soviet-Russian dancer, teacher and international authority on the staging of the major nineteenth- and twentieth-century Romantic and Classical ballets, is also the former director of Choreographic Miniatures, the St. Petersburg ballet company of her late husband, Leonid Jacobson, the leading iconoclastic Soviet ballet choreographer. A former soloist with the Kirov Ballet, Irina Jacobson was the last protégée of Agrippina Vaganova, the influential teacher at the State Academic Theatre for Opera and Ballet (GATOB, later the Kirov), the woman who systematized the teaching of ballet for the new era of Soviet ballet, and who recognized and inspired Irina Jacobson's gifts as an exacting and inspired ballet pedagogue.
Elena Kabischer-Jakerson
Elena Kabischer, a graphic artist, painter and sculptor was born on March 23, 1903 in Vitebsk into the family of a craftsman. In 1916 she started studying in the private School of Drawing and Painting managed by Yehuda Pen (1854–1937), the oldest of Vitebsk painters, among whose pupils were also Marc Chagall (1887–1985) and Eliezer Lisitsky (1890–1941).
Esther Rachel Kaminska
In the first pages of her autobiography My Life, My Theater Ida Kaminska writes of her mother Esther Rachel, termed "the Jewish Eleonora Duse," that she was educated by three forces: "the poverty she saw with her clever eyes, the suffering with which her great heart empathised, the injustice against which she was able to rebel. All became components of Esther Rachel Kaminska."
Kashariyot (Couriers) in the Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust
The kashariyot were young women who traveled on illegal missions for the Jewish resistance in German-occupied Eastern Europe during the Holocaust. Using false papers to conceal their Jewish identities, they smuggled secret documents, weapons, underground newspapers, money, medical supplies, news of German activities, forged identity cards, ammunition—and other Jews—in and out of the ghettos of Poland, Lithuania and parts of Russia.
Helene Khatskels
In its commitment to socialism, diaspora Jewish nationalism, and Yiddish secular education, the life of the Yiddish pedagogue and writer Helene Khatskels closely reflects the history and ideals of the Jewish Labor Bund, which she actively supported. Her unfaltering devotion to her pupils, evident from both her own writings and writings about her, makes her stand out in the charged atmosphere of East European Jewish politics in the early twentieth century.
Lia Koenig
Lia Koenig has performed at the Habimah theater without a break for more than forty years. In 1986 she was awarded the Israel Prize for her distinguished achievements as an outstanding actor.
Feiga Izrailevna Kogan
Poet Feiga Izrailevna Kogan was born into the Moscow Jewish community in 1891. Throughout her life she composed books of and about Russian poetry while harboring a love of Hebrew. Some of her works include: Moia dusha (My Soul) and Plamennik (The Torch).
Rokhl Häring Korn
Rokhl Häring Korn is a major figure in modern Yiddish literature. Her early work established her reputation as a brilliant narrative writer in verse and prose and a passionate lyric poet. In her later work she developed into a poet of complex, sustained meditation, with a remarkable ability to turn her life into symbol. In the course of her writing career she published eight volumes of poetry and two collections of fiction.
Hanna Krall
Hanna Krall was born on May 20, 1937 in Warsaw into an assimilated Jewish family. Her parents and other relatives perished in the Majdanek concentration and death camp, while she survived with the help of some Poles, moving between the village of Krasnogliny, Warsaw, Ryki, the Albertine cloister in Zyczyn and other places.
Isa Kremer
Diva, folksinger, and citizen of the world, Isa Kremer was born in Belz, Bessarabia, on October 21, 1887, to Jacob and Anna (Rosenbluth) Kremer.
Mariana Kroutoiarskaia
As a composer, music producer and supervisor, Mariana Kroutoiarskaia dedicated her entire life to music, film and television. Perhaps because she usually worked behind the scenes and was of small, delicate stature, she appears initially not to have been acknowledged by many people. But whoever came to know her better was usually overwhelmed by her energy, her love of life and her creative capacity.
Nora Levin
In the introduction to her 1977 book While Messiah Tarried, a history of Jewish socialist movements, Nora Levin wrote that she hoped "young Jews groping for ways to reconcile their own social radicalism with Jewishness ... will be heartened in their quest by the knowledge that there have been several generations of other young Jews who have made a similar struggle."
Jacqueline Levine
Jacqueline Levine is an outstanding example of female activist leadership in American Jewish life. In over five decades of service to the Jewish community, she has combined her powerfully deep liberal political beliefs and activities, which benefit the poor and disadvantaged, with her concern for the vast needs of specific Jewish communities.
Irma May
Irma May was a pioneer in American Jewish philanthropy. Her reports from Eastern Europe motivated social action, while her political and speaking skills moved both the New York and larger Jewish community.
Project Kesher
Project Kesher is a feminist Jewish organization empowering women in the Independent States of the former Soviet Union (FSU) to build a society in which inclusive Jewish life can flourish, and where women are the instruments of peaceful change.
A 1905 Yiddish operetta Roumanian wedding.
Romanian Yiddish Theater
One facet of the rich Jewish cultural scene that developed in Romania in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries consisted of theatrical activity in its various forms.
Russian Immigrants in Israel
Like their male counterparts, over sixty percent of Soviet Jewish women were highly educated and employed as professionals or white-collar workers. Before emigration, over ninety-five percent of these women combined full-time employment with motherhood and family roles (Tolts, 1997; Buckley, 1997). Beside the need, common to both sexes, for economic and psychosocial adjustment in the new country immigrant women faced specific challenges that reflect cultural differences in sexuality, fertility and family life.
Mollie Steimer
Mollie Steimer, a leading anarchist and advocate for the rights of political prisoners, was a codefendant in one of the most publicized antiradical trials in American history.

If you are accused of a sex offense, the first thing you need to do is contact a criminal defense lawyer. Before you say anything to the police or answer any questions, remember that anything you say can be used by the prosecutor. Those accused of sex crimes face major penalties.
Sex crime charges can follow you for the rest of your life. If you are found guilty, you face more than just jail time. There are permanent consequences. These include:
- The sex offender registry: If you are found guilty of a sex crime, your name is permanently put on a public record and your charges are public knowledge.
- Ineligibility for public services: You cannot access services like public housing, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits or certain unemployment benefits if you are guilty of a felony.
- Employment prohibitions: As a convicted sex offender, you are no longer able to work in many fields, including working in many educational, medical, professional and other occupations.
- Social isolation: Massachusetts law requires you to disclose your status as a sex offender publicly. This means your social group, your neighbors and anyone you meet can search for your name online and find out about your offense.
If you fail to hire a strong defense, you risk facing these harsh consequences. At Manzi, Seccareccio & Merwin, P.C., we can help.

Scientists found a huge 'monster' planet that could change everything they know about astronomy
A huge "monster" planet that's far too big for its sun could lead scientists to rethink their theories of astronomy. The planet, known as NGTS-1b, is the size of Jupiter. But orbits around a red dwarf star that's only half the size of its sun. Scientists not only didn't predict that such a massive planet would be able to orbit such a small star, but it contradicts some of the predictions at the heart of their understanding of how planets form.Continue Reading http://www.independent.co.uk

- Eggs 4 • 130 kcal
- Milk 4 tbsp • 49 kcal
- Chopped bacon 4 tbsp
- Green pepper 1/2 cup
- Feta cheese 100 gr
- Parsley 1/4 cup
- Salt • 1 kcal
- Ground black pepper
One of the foods I most like to cook is the frittata! It is that it is so versatile … you can throw it out of everything and it will always come out great! Also, you can eat at breakfast, at lunch or even at dinner … it's perfect! And here I leave my recipe for the last one I did.
This rich recipe is great for either a brunch or breakfast. You can make this a day ahead if you want to serve it for an early morning breakfast. Just reheat in the microwave. You may use any combination of cheese in this recipe, even non-fat.
- The Frittata is very similar to the French omelet, and like the omelet, its secret is a good non-stick pan. To prepare the omelet is essential to have a non-stick pan and a flat top to flip the omelet.
- Wash the green peppers very well, cut the pepper with a sharp knife on one side, remove the seeds and the white parts of the pepper.
- Place 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a well-heated pan. Place the peppers and mash them with a cooking spatula to cook the entire surface of the pepper. Let it turn brown.
- When the peppers are cooked through, remove from the pan and put in a dish with absorbent paper. Cut the pepper into slices and reserve.
- Place the bacon, well stretched on a baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes until they are well toasted. When the bacon is toasted, chopped into small pieces and reserve.
- In a mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, bacon, parsley, a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat with a beater until smooth.
- Spray the nonstick pan with oil and arrange the pepper in layers and sprinkle with cheese in small pieces. Pour in eggs mixture and cook covered for 10 minutes.
- Before turning the frittata, gently peel off the edges and drain excess liquid towards the bottom of the pan. Flip carefully using a flat top.
- Cook for 5 more minutes and serve with bread.

It may feel alarming when it takes a couple of minutes longer to recollect your thoughts from events that occurred days ago. Or struggle with school-grade algebra that you once breezes through. Whether it's due to aging, stress or traumatic events, your cognitive ability may take a hit and having them boosted by supplements can help you to regain your mental edge.
What Are Brain-Boosting Supplements Made Of?
We are living in an era where people are trying to expand their limits physically and mentally. Just as there are supplements that support people's quest for a healthier body, nutritional manufacturers are formulating brain boosting supplements that are claimed to give your cognitive functions a lift.
Brain boosters, or nootropics, as they are more popularly known of today, are made of natural components like herbs, amino acids, adaptogens, and other compounds that are beneficial for boosting cognitive performance.
While the term nootropic is relatively new, the food source containing mental enhancing properties are not. It is only that science has discovered the positive effects of these herbs or nutrients in recent years that painted them in a new light for as brain boosters.
Some of the most commonly mentioned brain boosting supplements or nootropics that are known to enhance memory, focus and other cognitive functions are Fish Oils, Ginkgo Biloba, Rhodiola Rosea, Bacopa Monnieri, Turmeric Curcumin, Phosphatidylserine, and Choline.
Do Brain Boosting Supplements Actually Work?
It's undeniable that modern consumers are attracted to the claims made by nootropics producer. After all, the idea of having your mental enhanced is an attractive one. But with all the hype surrounding brain boosting supplements, the big question remains.
Does any of them actually work?
This often invites fierce debates between science researchers and nootropics enthusiasts. Some individuals would claim that taking such supplements have increased their mental clarity, increased focus or at the very least, clear off foggy mind.
With no regulations requiring manufacturers to back their claims with clinical results, it's hard to distinguish facts from fiction. Scientific researchers are divided in their opinions on the various brain boosting supplements.
What's important is to not substitute exercise and other healthy lifestyle habits with supplements. As the term implies, supplements made up for what you're lack of, and so, they are not miracle pills. They may be effective to an extent and of varying effects between individuals.
How To Choose The Right Brain Boosting Supplement
With the popularity of brain-boosting supplements, numerous manufacturers are crowding the market with their products. While this may provide an abundance of choices, it also means a tougher decision-making process in selecting the right brain booster supplement.
Here are what you should bear in mind when choosing a brain enhancer product.
1. Beyond Cognitive Enhancement Properties
As the name implies, brain-boosting supplements help you to improve cognitive functions. While this statement applies generally to all nootropic supplements, different ingredients may offer other advantages to individuals.
Some brain enhancers may help to help the body adapt to stress effectively. Others, such as fish oils may help to slow down aging and degeneration of the brain. Having these additional benefits helps in taking care of your brain health as a whole.
2. Ingredient Labels
When you're taking supplements that directly affect the functionality of your brain, you'll want to know what are the ingredients contained in the capsules. Only purchase supplements that printed a complete list of the ingredients in their label.
Besides that, it is also preferable that the manufacturer has a strict manufacturing and sourcing process, such as having a GMP-certified facility, sustainable organic ingredients, and third-party laboratory testings. Do check out for the relevant certifications on the label.
3. Physical Form
Brain enhancing supplements are usually available in capsules, liquid extract and powder form. Capsules form are common and easy to take. However, liquid extract is known to have a higher absorption rate although may exhibit a stronger taste for some supplements. It's actually a matter of personal choice and the types of supplements available.
4. Cost
Should you opt for the cheapest brain booster available? Experience has proven that if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably wasn't. While cost is an important consideration, you should be cautious about getting inferior products that may cause more harm than good.
5. Reputable Manufacturers
Nootropic is a trending supplement industry that has attracted manufacturers of all sizes. Pretty labels on the products do not constitute quality. Instead, do a quick background search of the company and check out other customer's feedback on the product.
6. Single vs. Stack Supplements
While individuals ingredients are great for enhancing cognitive function by itself, nootropic stacks contain synergistic effects that may attract some consumers.
Precautions And Side Effects When Taking Brain-Boosting Supplements
As with any other supplements, brain-boosters may introduce side-effects on certain individuals especially when taken in dosages larger than recommended. Common side effects attributed to brain-boosting supplements are mental fatigue, headache, insomnia, and digestive problems.
Different types of brain booster may interact with prescription medications that you're taking right now. It's best to consult your doctor if you're in this situation. The same applies to pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Best Brain Boosting Supplements 2020
As consumers are getting more conscious of cognitive-enhancing products, manufacturers are introducing various supplements to boost cognitive function. It may be an intimidating task to sort through hundreds of products and identify the best choice.
Based on the criteria above, I've consolidated a list of common brain enhancers and the best product in each category.
1. Fish Oils – Viva Naturals Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplements
Sardines, tuna, mackerels, and salmons. These are some of the most common sources of fish oils, which is apparently great for preventing a decline in cognitive ability like learning and memory. The core components in fish oil that aid cognitive functions are EPA and DHA, which are different types of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Numerous studies have been conducted and have proved the effectiveness of Omega-3 rich fish oil in preventing cognitive function degradation. One such study conducted by a group of researchers show strong evidence of improved cognitive performance resulting from EPA-rich supplements.
Viva Naturals is a reputable brand that harvested wild fatty fishes off the coast of Peru. It minimizes the level of mercury by using smaller fishes like sardines and mackerels. You can be assured of receiving toxin-free fish oil supplements as each batch are tested for purity and IFOS 5-Star Certified.
You'll be getting 1,400 mg of EPA and 480 mg of DHA from your daily 2,220 mg serving to improve your brain health. The capsules are produced by supercritical extraction to assure the purity. It is also formulated for better absorption and leave no fishy aftertaste that can be a turn-off for most of us.
- Produced via supercritical extraction
- Tested and conforms with IFOS 5-Star Certification.
- Triglyceride capsules for easy absorption.
- Good for learning and memory.
- Some people dislike the taste
2. Gingko Biloba – Nature's Bounty Gingko Biloba Supplement
Gingko Biloba is a herbal extract that is derived from the maidenhair tree, believed to be one of the oldest species in the world. Some of the trees where the extract is harvested are over a thousand years old. The medicinal properties of Gingko Biloba made it a widely used remedy in various parts of the word.
Two major compounds, namely the flavonoids and terpenoids played an important role in the various health benefits associated with Gingko Biloba, including improving cognitive functions. A detailed study involving 19 elderly individuals strongly suggested the efficacy of Ginkgo Biloba as a treatment for working memory deficits.
If you're struggling to recall your fondest childhood memories, this bottle of Gingko Biloba capsules by Nature's Bounty may be the perfect remedy. With over 50 years of growth, Nature's Bounty brought science and the finest ingredients to delivered top quality Gingko Biloba extracts.
It is recommended that you take a single capsule daily, which is equivalent to 120 mg of Ginkgo Biloba extract where 24% of the content is Ginkgo Flavones Glycosides. It is laboratory tested to ensure none of the capsules contain artificial fillers, preservatives, and other harmful chemicals.
- Boost memory and mental alertness
- Laboratory tested for purity.
- Contain strong dosage of Gingko Biloba
- Easy to swallow
- Some individuals may experience side effects.
3. Rhodiola Rosea – NutraChamps Rhodiola Rosea Supplement
If there's any root that would warrant an expedition sent by the emperor China, it was the Rhodiola Rosea.

Janja Garnbret and Jakob Schubert wrapped up the overall lead titles at the International Federation of Sport Climbing World Cup in Wujiang.
Slovenia's Garnbret, the overall and bouldering world champion, was named as the season victor for the third straight year as weather caused havoc in the Chinese city.
Although the finals of the lead events did get underway, organisers decided not to continue in wet conditions and the winners of the event were therefore decided from the semi-final rankings.
Garnbret and South Korea's Jain Kim shared the lead at that point and were therefore declared as joint winners.
Austria's Jessica Pilz won the bronze medal.
The Slovenian has 550 points on top of the standings with Pilz on 460.
There are 100 points available for a victory with one event left of the season in Xiamen, but Garnbret cannot be caught due to the rule which sees an athlete's worst performance discarded from the rankings.
Today's wet weather negatively impacted Pilz the most, as it denied the world lead champion the chance to close the gap.
In the men's event, the semi-final results also decided the winners as Austria's Schubert sealed overall victory.
What a day for Indonesia! Double victory for Aspar Jaelolo and Aries Susanti Rahayu at #IFSCwc Wujiang— IFSC (@IFSClimbing) October 21, 2018

France's Romain Desgranges won the event with Schubert second and South Korea's Hyunbin Min third.
Schubert, the overall and lead world champion, now has 495 points in the standings and cannot be caught by Italy's Stefano Ghisolfi who has 437.
In the speed events, Indonesia enjoyed a superb day by clinching both titles.
Aries Susanti Rahayu won the women's final in a time of 7.740sec, beating France's Anouck Jaubert.
Iuliia Kaplina came third, beating team-mate Mariia Krasavina in the small final.
Jaubert has secured the overall title with 516 points compared to Kaplina's 396.
Aspar Jaelolo won the men's speed title for Indonesia, clocking 5.810 to beat Italy's Ludovico Fossali.
Iran's world champion Reza Alipour beat Russia's Aleksandr Shilov for bronze.
Danyil Boldyrev of Ukraine leads the overall standings with 413 points, a narrow lead over Russia's Dmitrii Timofeev on 396.
The Xiamen World Cup leg will begin in the Chinese city on October 27.

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- The Roman Catholic Diocese Of Harrisburg announces "listening sessions" to hear what people have to say about sex abuse in the church.
Officials say it's in an effort to be more transparent after the Grand Jury Report released this summer named more than 300 priests accused of sexual abuse, including 71 in the Diocese of Harrisburg.
The sessions will take place over the next two months at different parishes across Central Pennsylvania.
Here's what FOX43 knows:
- Bishop Ronald Gainer will be at all 9 of the meetings.
- The diocese won't allow audio or video recordings so people can feel comfortable speaking their minds. It's unclear right now if reporters will be allowed to bring a pen and paper for notes.
- A spokeswoman says it's about creating a safe space for parishioners.
For some survivors of sexual abuse, the decision to step back inside a Catholic church could be very difficult.
"Some survivors are not comfortable ever walking back into a Catholic church," explained Jennifer Storm, a state-appointed victim's advocate. "A lot of what I'm hearing is the lack of transparency from the church."
"Bishop Gainer really wants to get out, really meet with his flock, the parishioners from parishes throughout the dioceses, hear their concerns, answer their questions, and really speak to them one on one about where we're at today, the steps we have taken to protect our youth, and where we're going in the future," said Rachel Bryson, a spokeswoman for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg.
Storm hopes the diocese is prepared to hear more than words.
"I think they need to be ready for the emotion, and be open, which is hard. It's hard to be on the receiving end of pain, anger, and hurt, and I think they need to be prepared for that," she explained.
Storm says there is support available for any survivors who want to attend a session.
"Please don't go alone. There are advocates, there are rape crisis counselors, individuals in your community that are willing to go with you," she said.
If you would like to find an advocate to go with you to a session, Storm says you can contact the Office of the Victim Advocate.

text: In TBC 5.1 the point cloud import has seemed to get a new face lift in which I don't really care for. I typically fly my sites using a P4 PRO and use Datumate to complete the processing. In the past when I am on a site for example a borrow site in which I have a calibration completed ( like this one) I will use my rover to shoot in my ground targets then import the points from TBC to use to geo reference the site. Then I kick out an .las and TBC prior to 5.0 0r 5.1 would import the point cloud data right into place. Now it is trying to scale stuff and it is a little confusing. It is my understanding that the .las files has the unit information so why can't TBC just read it and bring it in. It looks like it is converting the coordinates to metric like the early versions of TBC did. I tried importing the point clouds into 4.91 and they come in perfect. So it looks like it is a metric conversion issue to me. I attached one of the las files. The project sits at approximately N:524800 E: 55780. Any help would be great!
