What is an Orthodontist?
In much the same way as doctors choose to specialize in areas such as cardiology and neurology, dentists can also choose to specialize. Orthodontics is a dental specialty which aims to prevent, diagnose and treat facial and dental irregularities, such as malocclusions (bad bites). Many orthodontic practices are limited to dentofacial orthopedics and general orthodontics but can successfully treat patients of any age.
Orthodontists are fully qualified dentists who embark on a further three years of university-based study and gain extensive clinical experience in an orthodontic residency program. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) is the regulating body for this branch of dentistry. Selecting an orthodontist who is a member of this organization adds the assurance that treatment is being administered by an individual with specialty education in oral biology and biomechanics. The AAO recommends that children should first be examined by the orthodontist around the age of seven, to ensure that jaw and tooth irregularities are not beginning to form.
What does an orthodontist do?
Orthodontists are experts in correcting misalignments of the teeth and jaw. There are many debilitating problems associated with misalignment, for example, speech defects, difficulties chewing and difficulty maintaining adequate oral hygiene.
Here is a brief overview of some of the most common issues an orthodontist can successfully treat:
How does an orthodontist realign jaws and teeth?
Initially, the orthodontist conducts a thorough examination of the jaw and teeth. Panoramic x-rays and study models (bite impressions) will be taken prior to the orthodontist making treatment recommendations. The orthodontist will recommend the best treatment plan for the patient's particular condition.
Here is a brief overview of some of the treatments orthodontists may use:
If you have any questions about orthodontists and the treatments they provide, please contact our office.
I have been seeing Dr. Niles for my dental care for over 30 years. She's a fine dentist and does a great job. Her staff are very friendly as well. I would highly recommend her.
Marshall W.
One of the best dentists in town! Always concerned about making sure that you don't have pain...very technically adept and business-like. gives you a real sense that she knows what she's doing. Able to save a tooth that I'd broken off at the gum line with a metal post and crown. worth every penny! Staff is great as well.
Patricia L.
I have been a patient of Dr. Niles since 1998. Even though I now live two hours away, I still commute back to Santa Rosa for appointments because I always receive first-rate care and go home feeling happy. The staff is amazing - from the front desk to point of care - and always send me home with a smile (and a better-looking one at that).
Kyle F.
Dr. Niles and her staff were very good in their work. My dental work was done in a very professional manor and the dental hygienist was very complete and informative on future and preventative dental care! Would recommend highly....

Most executive suites have a simple directory posted on a wall that's updated when someone remembers to do so. One of those black ones with white letters on it and they sit behind a glass door of sorts. They work good enough but one problem with a business directory like that is people rarely update them. In the lobby of the building where Southwest Suites leases executive suites and office space you will find an touch screen electronic directory where clients and other business related visitors can easily find your office.
An electronic directory operated by touch screen technology is easy for your visitors to use and gives your executive office location more credibility.
(Hover over image for my contact information)
If you are looking for executive suites or office space to rent please call Isabel Raehn-Lantry at 407-351-6006. I will find the space you are looking for.

Most modern Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines that treat sleep apnea offer for option to include a CPAP humidifier. Many first time CPAP users aren't sure whether or not to purchase the optional humidifier, and often wonder if it's worth the extra price. In this week's post, we'll outline why an individual might benefit from the additional humidifier and how it can increase quality of therapy, as well as increase the probability that you will successfully adopt the new CPAP therapy into your lifestyle permanently and enjoy the benefits to the fullest extent.
New CPAP users often report discomfort during the transition into CPAP therapy. While some of this discomfort is simply lifestyle adjustment, a majority of the discomfort may be caused by airway passage dryness that can accompany therapy based on your atmospheric and geographical environment. The lack of moisture may result in a sore throat, dry nasal passage, or swelling of the tongue. If you find any of these symptoms to be the case with your CPAP therapy, the inclusion of a humidifier into your treatment plan can help alleviate these symptoms and maintain comfortability throughout the entire night. As air passes from the machine to the mask, a small amount of moisture is added to the air stream, alloying for a more comfortable breathing dynamic. All major manufacturers of CPAP machines offer some sort of humidifier that is compatible with their machines, so finding the right one is often very simple.
Patients that live in consistently dryer climates such as areas in the southwestern United States often find the need for a humidifier, as well as cities that experience relatively colder winters that lead to dry air. The moisture that normally acts as a natural lubricant freezes due to the severely cold temperatures, causing the air to irritate your breathing passageways and reduce comfort during your night's sleep. If this scenario sounds familiar, or you will soon be moving to a colder environment, your best solution is to include an in-home humidifier as well as a CPAP humidifier to combat the negative effects of frigid, dry air and ultimately improve your CPAP experience.
The discomfort is not unique to one type of sleep apnea therapy device, as patients who use CPAP, Auto CPAP, and BiPAP therapy all have reported discomfort based on geography. Customers might feel compelled to discontinue using their machine but it is important to keep in mind that all of the major manufacturers of CPAP Supplies offer some type of heated humidifier. Whether you own a Resmed, Respironics, Fisher & Paykel, DeVilbiss, or a different brand, you might consider trying a heated humidifier with your present machine.
Final Thoughts
Of course, the above outline is not an exhaustive resource, but hopefully you now have a better understanding of the whether or not you could personally benefit from a CPAP humidifier in conjunction with your CPAP Machine. It is best to speak with your doctor to determine what is best for your individual needs.

The new municipality of Asker (Hurum, Røyken and Asker) has the longest coastline in Oslofjorden, surrounded by Drammensfjorden and Oslofjorden. It will also be the 8th largest municipality in Norway with its 90.000 inhabitants.
Asker aims to be a litter free municipality, also with respect to marine littering. More than 90 % of the litter found in the ocean is plastic waste, and a high amount of the litter is entering the ocean from land. Together with No Waste! and Mepex, Asker Municipality is leading a project in order to investigate the possibility of creating a regional centre for marine littering, mainly focusing on plastic waste. The aim is to prevent littering by gaining more knowledge about the litter and its sources of origin. Thus we can build knowledge and awareness amongst all relevant stakeholders in order to reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic articles produced and used by companies, enhance the waste collection and recycling methods for plastic, and the amount of litter abandoned in the environment – with or without intention.
The project is financed with grants from Buskerud County Council and Asker Municipality.

Man Captures Lightning Striking Plane and It's Terrifyingly Cool
Of all the things you hope don't happen while you're on an airplane, getting struck by lightning probably ranks pretty high up there...
Of all the things you hope don't happen while you're on an airplane, getting struck by lightning probably ranks pretty high up there, somewhere between being seated next to a screaming infant and, well, crashing. Remarkably, though, being hit by a bolt of mother nature's electricity while buckled to a seat in a giant metal tube in the sky isn't as dangerous as you might think. That's not to say it doesn't look scary as hell, as an incredible new video makes quite clear.
While driving through a brief electrical storm last Thursday, Corey Crow of Anchorage, Alaska decided to turn on his dash cam to record the big show. At one point, while stopped at a red light, he noticed a particularly interesting bolt flash across the sky, and decided to play back the footage when he got home. That's when he discovered something pretty incredible.
"[I got] home and looked at it and was shocked to see the lightning had passed through a plane passing by," Crow told KTVA.
Indeed, he'd manage to capture the precise moment a big bolt struck a passenger plane flying overhead. When you play it in slow motion, the clip also reveals a flicker ricocheting off the tail of the aircraft, even after the bolt has disappeared. The identity of the aircraft hasn't been confirmed and it's unclear how it felt from the perspective of those on board, but dang it looked pretty awesome from the ground.
Amazingly, planes get struck by lightning pretty regularly, and with few ill effects thanks to modern technology. On average, every airplane in the United States commercial fleet is struck more than once per year, according to a report in Scientific American. In fact, modern commercial aircraft are specifically engineered to be able to fly through lightning unfazed, thanks to a highly sophisticated system that protects the interior and all critical components (computers, instruments, etc.) in the event of a wildly powerful electrical surge. The last time lightning was linked directly to a commercial plane crash was back in 1967, after a bolt caused a fuel tank to explode.
Frankly, you should probably worry more about a rogue pooper terrorizing your flight than a pesky bolt of lightning.

Experienced paddlers should take a chance on this very photogenic waterway! Above the water, sun-bleached branches from fallen trees reach out to share stories of their journey. Below the water, Eelgrass beds form one of the many estuarine habitats in Siletz Bay, sustaining all manner of life from the grassroots up.
This is an excellent location to observe a wide variety of Shorebirds which stop here along their migration to feast on invertebrate prey. We respectfully keep our distance, allowing them to rest up before continuing on their long migration to destinations sometimes thousands of miles away. If you're more into mamals you might see a very busy beaver, resident carnivores such as bobcats, coyotes or mink, weasels, muskrat and River Otters.

I originally began a secret anthology of my personal FAR 103.23 breaches in concert with Orian Price less than a year before he tragically died. I have since refined the edit and sound track dozens of times trying to get it just right and remove the non-aesthetic elements e.g. no visible background. If anyone feels inclined to disparage the video in a fit protective thinking please don't waste your energy or mine. The last flight in this sequence beginning 2011 was on Christmas Day 2015. Following a number of friends and acquaintances who tempted fate due to cloud carelessness I've stopped engaging in this pastime and now enjoy clouds from a proper distance and leave the heroics to others. Please watch on a decent sized monitor with stereo and above all just relax and enjoy!

I shared the original edit with OP while I was compiling footage so he got to enjoy an early version.
As you can imagine, we were pretty silly and juvenile about the concept which was par for the course.
His dad, Chris has seen this version on Facebook. I lost contact with his sister.
Glad we have new pilots entering the sport. God bless Andy and Josh for keeping the ball rolling!

Is this a Normal map or a Horror Map?
Date: 09 May 2010 23:44
Number of posts: 12
RSS: New posts
who the hell tagged this abandoned? it is not eventhough i rarely release maps
That was me. The map was tagged as W.I.P. and there were no update for over a year.
So now you won't release Part II, if it even was in the works ?
Meaning it's incomplete ? Then I understand.
Encountered an issue with the the date cube at the beginning of the map, apparently it is possible for a player to push the cube into one of the barney spawns, and when the doors close it becomes suck in there, preventing players from progressing. Not sure if this will be seen, but hopefully RNG can fix this as it is otherwise a really fun map to play.
lol - the solution is simple enough, just don't do that!
I've played it many times; I've never felt the urge to jam the cube into a barney spawn.. just follow the game texts, it works perfectly.
Another nice RNG map. Still a pretty decent map even if was remade into IO.
Note that you actually need atleast 2 people to play.

Floyd Mayweather wears 11kg of gold around neck as part of bizarre outfit at NBA game
Retired boxer appeared to wear four different gold necklaces and teamed them with black and white chessboard-style shorts
FLOYD MAYWEATHER wears a whopping 11kg of gold around his neck as part of a bizarre outfit he chose while sitting courtside at an NBA game.
The retired 50-0 king appeared to go for four different gold chains in the statement look.
And he teamed the eye-catching image with black and white chessboard-style shorts - and hat to match.
Mayweather completed the look with a graphic blue t-shirt and Richard Mille watch.
The wrist piece themselves can fetch up to £500,000 - and he wore £100 Nike Air Max 90s too.
Mayweather took the best seats at last night's NBA play-off clash between the LA Clippers and Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors won 132-105 to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
The American boxer, 42, was recently slammed for teasing a Manny Pacquiao rematch - only to announce 'bulls***' business plans.
Fans had hoped the former five-weight world champion was going to confirm his rematch with long-term rival Pacquiao.
Mayweather teased his fans earlier this week when he confirmed that an announcement was coming as he posed with one of his WBC world title belts.
But they were left bitterly disappointed after he explained that it was regarding his new partnership with daily fantasy sports app Daily Number.
He uploaded a video to his Instagram which showed him sitting in front of a wad of cash in a mock-up press conference.
In the cringeworthy clip, he said: "Thank you to the media and my business partners, I have an announcement to make.
"After careful considering and discussions with my team, I will be joining daily number in 2019, the baddest m*********** in the game.
"My next opponent is daft Kings, that's right, we are coming for the crown.
Latest boxing news
"Considering my partnership with the Daily Number, fantasy sports will never be the same.
"I changed the game with everything I touched, whether it's boxing promotions, gyms, you name it. And now fantasy sports.
"I put my money where my mouth is, you know, championship belts, they nice but they collect dust. I'm in the cheque cashing business."

The United States has praised Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's leadership and described Bangladesh as a "dynamic entrepreneurial society" whose social indicators have been a real success story.
The US mentioned Prime Minister Hasina's leadership in lifting women up, in particular, saying it has been so noteworthy.
"The last three years have also seen significant growth in the US-Bangladesh relationship," said the US acting Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia, Alice G. Wells in a special briefing.
Wells said Bangladesh has rightly been commended for the generous response of its government and people to the Rohingya crisis and their cooperation with international humanitarian partners.
She said the United States is the single largest contributor of assistance to the Rohingya crisis, but Bangladesh is much more than just a host nation for Rohingyas; it is a country that has achieved impressive economic growth over the last decade, accompanied by strides in human development.
"It plays an important role in the Indian Ocean region, and our security cooperation has grown closer," Wells said encouraging Bangladesh to renew its commitments to democratic institutions and governing structures, which the US thinks will help further growth in the bilateral relationship that is based on shared values.
She said the United States will be a "reliable partner" in helping countries of the region on the path to economic recovery to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We have provided over $96 million in COVID-related assistance to the region, but this is really on top of what has been $6 billion in public health investments over the last two decades," said the senior US official.
Wells said they see the "devastating impact" of the disease with the cutting off of supply lines.
She mentioned that it is unfortunate but temporary; and noted the loss of markets as a result of disruptions in the ready-made garments sector.
"Now, already we're seeking to address that. We're trying to match-make between Bangladeshi manufacturers and consumers in America for critical medical supplies, as the Bangladeshi factories are retooling and seeking new markets," she said.
Wells said they will continue to look for all opportunities to be able to increase the trade and investment relationship between the two countries.
She mentioned that America remains or has been the largest export market for Bangladesh. "We're very important to Bangladesh's economic health."
The US official thinks at a time of some de-risking from China, from diverse – at a time of diversification of global supply chains, this very, very painful time can also be a moment of opportunity for Bangladesh.
Wells said they are all living in challenging times as a result of COVID, but her three years in this position certainly leaves her confident about the strength of the U. partnerships in the region and their ability to confront diplomatic, economic, and security challenges together.
She said the bureau will now be very capably led by senior bureau official, Tom Vajda. "But more importantly, I think, the region figures so prominently in the National Security Strategy of the United States."

Chris Papp and Melanie Steinberg, a pair of Dollard des Ormeaux residents, are among a select few people signed up to support and participate in the 12th annual Just for Kids (JFK) Foundation Dancing with the Stars on Monday evening, Feb. 12 at Le Windsor Ballroom on Peel Street. This fundraiser sees Montrealers paired with professionals to put their dancing skills to the test in a fun and entertaining competition! Viva Las Vegas is this year's theme, complete with Elvis impersonators and showgirls!
The competition features over 20 dancers, both individuals and groups, who are raising funds to support JFK in its mission to purchase life-saving medical equipment for the Montreal Children's Hospital.
Papp, a new dad, owns and operates a company called SienaBlu that supplies packaging and cosmetic bags, as well as developing private label cosmetic programs to well-known International cosmetic and hair care brands. It was his friend Allyson Kassie Goldberg, who convinced him to get involved. "Over the years we have attended several of the same events where she has been able to have a first-hand look at some of my dancing moves," he says. "I believe strongly in my obligation to give back to the community where I can."
Rehearsals started in early November. In between Papp had to travel to both China and Mexico, which means any free time he had while in town was made available for lessons. "To date I believe I am at about 25 hours of lessons," he says. "At first rehearsals were quite intimidating. I quickly learned that I would first learn how to walk before I could run. Growing up as an athlete, sports have always come naturally to me. I can say that I have a new appreciation for the amount of work, dedication and focus it takes to properly learn a routine."
Papp will do the Foxtrot with professional dancer Maya. "She has been patient and assuring in helping build my confidence," he says.
Steinberg, who attended the Sheila Parkins School of Dance in her younger days, is in the adult group dance and will be performing a hip hop routine to music by Michael Jackson. She has a minimum fundraising goal of $2,500. Her friend Lauren Cracower handles publicity for the event and gave her a gentle nudge last year to climb on board. " I declined since I had a one year old and two other young kids," she said. "I was asked once again this year and could not say no. I realize how lucky I am to have three beautiful healthy kids. They are aged five, four and almost two right now and I am not as sleep deprived as I was a year ago! I feel so good to be raising money for such a great cause!

Opinions of Friday, 19 August 2011
Columnist: Akyeampong, Prince
Lies, lies and more lies! Wow, that appears to be the gospel according to the Ghana politician. Freedom of speech appears to have been given a different perception by our "team B" politicians; it's now - FREEDOM TO LIE. Ghanaian politicians have apparently, largely become adherents of the Machiavellian theory - the end justifies the means. These die-hard politicians would do anything, including concocting stories and untruths just to look good in the eyes of the electorate. Is it any wonder that the average Ghanaian views our national politics as being synonymous with lies and deceit? It must however be noted that this penchant for deception and lies cuts across both sides of the political aisle.
It's as if both the government and opposition are engaged in a free-for-all lying contest, with each side desperately trying to outdo the other, in order to gain political points. How else could one explain Tuesday's news headlines in which Koku Anyidoho, the President's Director of Communication initially confirmed in an interview with Peace FM news, that President Mills was in possession of a new mansion on Spintex Road, a supposed "gift" from Regimanuel Grey Estate Ltd. After an equally nebulous explanation by one Regina Botwe, a director of the company, Mr. Anyidoho, in a bid to set the records straight, came out again to announce that the place in question was being developed for Mills to rent for his guards; and that it was primarily to serve as a place of convenience. After a rather comical back-and-fourth newsflash, I, like most folks, found myself left with more questions than answers. Once again, the lying prowess of a politician had me asking myself: when are these politicians going to separate lies from politics?
Recently, a prominent Chief in the Volta Region angrily retorted that residents were becoming impatient with the government for failing to fulfill most of the promises it made in 2008. He said that the site where President Mills recently cut the sod for the construction of an allied Health Science-based University had now become a habitat for wild animals. In another apparent political hoodwinking, Mr. Albin Bagbin, Minister of Water resources, Works and Housing is yet to offer a tangible explanation as to why more than eleven months after THE LOAN had been "approved," and more than six months after Mills cut the sod for work to begin, construction work on the controversial $1.5 billion STX housing project has still not began. Of course, trust good old Bagbin to soon come out with another lie to allay the fears of Ghanaians.
The opposition, as stated earlier, have also done their fair share of lying. In one such instance, recently, Nana Akomeah, NPP communication director and MP for Okaikoi South, is said to have spearheaded a press conference alleging that Baba Jamal, deputy Minister for Information under the aegis of government plans to use funds to induce journalists to enhance the party's (NDC) chances ahead of the 2012 elections; a charge that was found to be misleading. Instead of critically observing areas where the government has fallen short and offering good advice by way of constructive criticism, the opposition bigwigs have now become detractors and doomsday soothsayers whose ultimate objective appears to be to search for the most damaging and scandalous stories about the incumbency. In other words, the NPP opposition members are busy playing the role of SPOILERS through smear campaigns and lies.
However, this destroy-them-by-all-means attitude exhibited by the opposition NPP is by no means peculiar to them. The NDC were no better when they happened to be in opposition. They similarly wasted precious time witch-hunting and digging for scandals involving the then NPP government instead of taking them to task in a constructive manner. Slowly but surely, this is becoming the norm; the party in power lies to the electorate at will and priority situations are never tackled. Yet, people are constantly made to believe that progress is actually being made even though the "improved living standards'" never reflect in the pockets of the average Ghanaian - talk about a mirage. This is where one expects the opposition to justify the numerous allowances they earn as MPs and remunerations they receive serving in other capacities within their party, by keeping those at the helm of affairs on their toes in a persistently constructive manner; not by witch-hunting and vicious lies.
This do-me-I-do-you or tit-for-tat politics is eventually going to render our young democracy unworkable. It's nothing but a vicious cycle which tends to stagnate development. The losers are almost invariably the electorate. When the government in power and the opposition view each other as bitter enemies instead of political opponents, the end result is disastrous. Instead of working hand-in-hand, they tend to focus on tearing each other apart. Strangely enough, most of the electorate consciously or unconsciously play right into the hands of these political big wigs and dance to their tunes. The result? Most of us get caught up in the politics of lies and deception just like our leaders, thus distracting us from the real crucial issues affecting our progress; and this is exactly what the crooked politician wants. While we foolishly spend out time endorsing inter-party insults and hurl invectives at each other, our corrupt politicians conveniently take advantage of these distractions and continue with their nefarious activities on the quiet.
Surely, our shady politicians are treading on dangerous grounds; and so are we! In the U.S., when it comes to serious issues affecting the well-being of the nation, partisan politics is relegated to the background and members on both sides of the political divide join hands in a show of solidarity and patriotism. On the contrary, in Ghana, the politician places his selfish ambitions above that of the nation's interest; and that is what invariably culminates in the politics of lies and deception. In view of the Mills "mansion" scandal, whether the Bible-toting Mills is "incorruptible" as the Deputy Minister of Tourism (James Agyenim Boateng) claimed, is yet to be determined. Posterity will never forgive these lying politicians if they continue to hoodwink us with lies and deceitful practices! God bless mother Ghana!

Rooney Mara's 2016 Oscars Outfit Will Be Awesome
Have you caught up with the buzzworthy Oscar nominations yet? As one of the notably female-driven contenders, Carol may have been a disappointing snub, but its two lead actresses, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara both managed to snag nominations in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories, respectively. Now, Blanchett is something of a fashion legend (her Tiffany's statement necklace at last year's Oscars was certainly one for the ages), but her co-star Mara also tends towards interesting choices on the red carpet, ever since she first burst onto the scene alongside The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. So, what will Rooney Mara wear to the Academy Awards?
One thing you can say with certainty about Mara, is that she definitely has a quite distinct fashion M.O. She wears almost exclusively black, white, or nude (though a recent scarlet Dolce & Gabbana number made quite the impression) and she also tends towards lace and sheer layers, with the occasional ultra-modern architectural silhouette thrown in. The press tour for Carol might just act as a particularly prescient predictor for Oscar night — which makes me think she'll go for lacy Chanel or Alexander McQueen (Givenchy, Lanvin, and Giambattista Valli are also top contenders in my book). She might end up selecting something hot off the upcoming Couture Week runway, or something custom (which is often the case when it comes to the Oscars), but if she doesn't — here are some of her top options:
Rooney Mara has been wearing a ton of Chanel lately, so there's definitely a possibility of some Karl Lagerfeld-designed duds in the cards.
Mara loves all things beige, all things ruffly, all things lacy, and all things sheer — so this Chanel Couture stunner might just be a slam dunk.
This dress (and this eyeliner) might just fit the bill as well.
Alexander McQueen
Mara has already worn three pieces from the most recent Alexander McQueen collection over the past couple months... will lightning strike thrice?
This lacy avian dress would certainly make quite the statement at the Oscars.
Giambattista Valli
Another red carpet favorite for Ms. Mara? Giambattista Valli.
This simple black gown has just the right amount of drama to make the night a fashion win.
What do you think Mara will wear to the Oscars? My top guess is definitely along the lines of diaphanous Chanel, though I could also see her going for (another) ruffled Alexander McQueen.

Read what a guest has written about this home:
"It is beautifully positioned in Sunriver for morning and evening walks to the bridge and centrally located for biking to all locations in the resort. The home couldn't be better with all the room we needed for great family time, as well as, quiet locations for time to ourselves. There couldn't be a better way to vacation. By far, my favorite aspect of this home is the upstairs living with the feeling of being in the trees. Looking out into the trees couldn't be better. I hope to return to this very home many times to come. The A's"
Guest Reviews
On our 6th Summer visit to Sunriver in the past 20 years, my family and I found the 19 Rogue property to be the best property we've stayed in for a week or more. Since we had been to SR 5 times before, we knew which areas were the best locations. The 19 Rogue house is well appointed and is situated in a quiet area, but with quick and easy access to the river, the mall, etc. Also, the Bennington Properties staff were extraordinarily friendly and accommodating.
Presidents Weekend
We had one other couple with us and it was awesome to have two master bedrooms.

Christmas has come early; football fans are in for a special treat to close out the high school football season. The St. X Tigers (12-2) will play the Trinity Shamrocks (14-0) for a winner-take-all, championship-or-nothing showdown. The arch-rivals are playing one another for the coveted Class 6A Championship at Kroger Field in Lexington on December 3 at 2 p.m.
There is arguably nothing better than for the championship game to end with the Tigers and Shamrocks taking their historic rivalry and blood-bowling temperatures against the other to Lexington, Kentucky.
This will be the first championship game between the two since 2009 when St. X won 34-10 in Bowling Green. That was the last championship for St. X and since then they have had some painful exits out of the playoffs at the hands of Trinity.
Both teams have met each other every year in the playoffs except 2013. During that span, the Rocks have been 6-0 against the Tigers, sending them home in the postseason without any remorse. They've shown no pity in the last six playoff match ups versus St. X, outscoring them 159 (26.5 points a game) to 51 (8.5 points a game).
This season, Trinity's 28-0 rout over the Tigers during the regular season was the second of six shutout victories for the Shamrocks. As a reminder, the Rocks haven't lost since November 20, 2015 and are riding a 29-game winning streak. They're looking to win back-to-back championships and cap off two consecutive undefeated seasons.
Prior to 2009, Trinity beat St. X in the title game in 2003, 2005 and 2007. With history on their side, it will be a tough task for St. X to pull the upset.
Nonetheless, there is hope for the Tigers, who have averaged 33 points in 13 games and have gone 7-1 since their loss to Trinity in the regular season.
The Tigers rush for over 200 yards a game (225.1 per) and will rely on Anthony Moretti who leads the team in rushing and has punched the ball in the end zone 11 times for the season.
When the Tigers have gone in the air, they have been efficient. Senior quarterback Jack Albers has completed 61 percent (91/148) of his passes, 1,434 yards, 10 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. His big target in the receiving game is William Crum, who has 29 receptions for 662 yards and 5 touchdowns.
In the regular season game versus Trinity, their offense struggled against a stingy defense. Moretti rushed for only 47 yards, Albers completed 50 percent of his passes and Crum had one catch for 27 yards. The end result? The team did not score.
On defense, expect some big plays though by Quinn Owen. The junior linebacker leads the Tigers with 73 total tackles and on the September 29 game against the Rocks, he recorded 7 tackles.
Along with the defense, he will have the daunting task of slowing down the Trinity offense. The Rocks' last close game was back on September 2, when they pulled out a 38-30 victory over Archbishop Moeller in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Since then, the Shamrocks have been relentless. They average 41.1 points a game to St. X's 33 points, and have only allowed 9 points to their opponents. The reigning champions have suffocated opponents with their dominating defense that combines with an offense that is a well oiled machine.
Senior quarterback Nick Bohn has looked as good as Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers in the pocket, going 229/289 for a ridiculous 79 percent completion percentage, 2,965 yards, 33 touchdowns and only 5 interceptions this year.
He has been able to rely on a good rushing game that pounds the ball for 116.8 hard earned yards a game, but Bohn's greatest luxury has been senior wide receiver Rondale Moore. If you blink, you just may miss him. He's scored 13 touchdowns this season and also has a team leading 87 receptions and 1,189 yards a game.
He caused havoc for the Tigers in the regular season, rushing for 108 yards and caught 11 balls for 81 yards. In his final high school game, it would be a great milestone to reach or eclipse the century mark in receptions.
It should be a fun game with tremendous bragging rights on the line. Who am I taking? I like Trinity in a blowout win. I believe they will improve to 30-0 in the last two seasons and hoist the state championship trophy for the second straight year.

Flightright, specialist in passenger rights, has just released the 2018 report on delays and cancellations in Europe. It estimates the amount of compensation for passengers at 76 million (compared to 39 million in 2017) in Belgium.
Brussels Airlines achieves a good score in terms of canceled flights (only 0.2%), but it has a poor level of punctuality: 13% of Brussels Airlines aircraft are delayed or nearly double the amount of TUI fly with 6,6%.
One of the best students in compensating passengers is Brussels Airlines. The bad pupils are Ryanair and Vueling, who in most cases refuse a compensation.
Most punctual airlines in 2018:
1. Belavia (2,2% delayed flights)
2. Hainan Airlines (2,3%)
3. Ethiopian (2,7%)
4. Corendon (3,5%)
5. Air Moldova (3,6%)
Least punctual airlines in 2018:
1. Egyptair (49,3% delayed flights)
2. Tarom (37,7%)
3. El Al (31,2%)

Delay on start-up, or arrival time? How do they calculate?
Re: Airlines Ranking: delay & cancellation in Belgium & Europe
That's an irrelevant question. The aim of their press release was not to publish interesting facts, but to get press coverage that would give them new customers.
Defend consumer rights? Well, those incasso firms could start with advising their correct charges. Example: for this company, it's not 25% but 30,25% (25% + 21% VAT).

In late 2018, Asahi's premium brand portfolio and increasing market share required a new approach to manage the development and supply of Point of Sale Materials (POSM) for our iconic beer brands. Beyond the normal deliverables for such supplier agreement, as product (POSM) innovation, manufacture, inventory management, and a simplified purchasing process, this partnership was mandated to provide a global, secure and ethical supply chain management to contribute to Asahi Europe's ESG targets.
The Asahi Procurement team partnered with Prominate, a global joint-venture company with over 70 offices and 50 distribution centres worldwide. The agency develops and implements efficient and effective global Promotional Material solutions with a localised approach and a highly successful track record working with large multinationals.
Prominent has utilised its proprietary technology, tailored to Asahi's global needs, centralising the POSM procurement via one single online platform. The platform allows Asahi and their distributors to order brand assets through scheduled order windows, driving a joined-up consolidated execution. This has helped meet the sustainability and carbon footprint objectives through global 'Smart Buy' programs, leading to fewer deliveries and streamlining the logistics.
In numbers, the supply chain optimization has meant 390,000 km (almost the distance from Earth to the Moon) less travelled to deliver POSM materials. The related CO2 emission reduction was of 277 tonnes per annum, the equivalent of the yearly consumption of about 21,000 trees.

AN investigation has been launched by the PSNI after the death of a man in Belfast city centre.
The 27-year-old was found at premises in Victoria Street yesterday with Detective Inspector Paul Rowland saying they believe it was linked to an incident on Friday evening.
"Police received the report of a suspected drugs incident on the afternoon of Friday 2nd of December," he said.
"Three men aged 33, 22 and 19 were arrested that afternoon and were released on police bail pending further enquiries in the early hours of Saturday, 3rd of December.
"A fourth man, aged 33, was arrested on the afternoon of Saturday 3rd of December and has since been charged with possession of a class A controlled drug. He is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on the morning of Monday, 5th of December."
Detectives carried out a number of searches over the weekend linked to the investigation and a number of items recovered are now being examined.
As is normal procedure, all charges are being reviewed by the PPS.

The City of Ann Arbor on the Cusp of Real Change in Policing
On March 8th, Deb Kirby and I headed up to Ann Arbor, Michigan to begin our assessment of the Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD) and help them define a model of civilian oversight. After meeting with the Chief and Department's command staff, we were thrilled with their openness and eagerness to bring about positive change. We also attended a meeting convened by the city's Human Rights Commission (HRC). Deb is a vibrant leader in our Law Enforcement Consulting practice and is just as passionate as I am about inspiring local government, police agencies and communities to collaborate in order to advance constitutionally correct policing that reflects what every subset of the entire community wants from police. We really anticipate great things in Ann Arbor given the positive reception we received from the city, the Police and the HRC.
An Independent Audit
On March 5th, the Ann Arbor City Council approved the decision to have the Hillard Heintze team conduct a comprehensive review of AAPD's services to all communities within Ann Arbor and develop recommendations for a model and implementation plan for civilian oversight of the Department. As part of our proposal, we stressed that traditional adversarial civilian oversight would not bring about the positive changes they were seeking. As we see it, the events that have shaped law enforcement over the past several years mandate a change in approach. At Hillard Heintze, we have adopted an approach that has been coined Co-Produced Policing – in which police and the community come together with equal voices to determine how their community will be policed. A complicated, but worthwhile approach that I will cover in future blogs.
The Importance of Direct Community Engagement
This meeting with the Human Rights Council was one of many we will be conducting in the months ahead with stakeholders offering different perspectives on this initiative. Deb and I – and virtually every single member of our Law Enforcement Consulting practice – consider these exchanges and discussions an absolutely critical component of reform in policing.
Reform in community policing is impossible without direct engagement from the community. At the same time, police departments that truly embrace the process of self-examination are the ones that deliver the best possible services to their communities and provide officers with guidance and recognition for doing so.
We are excited to be partnering with the City of Ann Arbor and their Police Department. Ann Arbor is known for setting the example for community-involved government and I believe they are on their way to demonstrating real and lasting change in policing. Deb and I will keep you posted in future blogs.

Healthy ageing
The healthy ageing challenge asks industry and researchers to develop products and services to help people remain independent, productive, active and socially connected for longer.
What is the healthy ageing challenge?
The number of people over 75 in the UK today is one in 12. By 2040, it will rise to one in 7. We're also living for longer and a third of children born now are expected to live to 100.
This presents a challenge to health services, but it is also an opportunity for businesses and researchers who can help people to stay active and productive as they age.
The healthy ageing challenge will support UK government's Ageing Society Grand Challenge to ensure people can enjoy at least 5 extra healthy, independent years of life by 2035, while narrowing the gap between the experiences of the richest and poorest.
The aim of this challenge is to enable businesses, including social enterprises, to develop and deliver products, services and business models that will be adopted at scale which support people as they age. This will allow people to remain active, productive, independent and socially connected across generations for as long as possible
Through the challenge, government will bring together UK businesses and researchers to support people to stay in their homes for longer, tackle loneliness, and increase independence and wellbeing.
It is part of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, which brings together leading researchers and businesses to tackle today's most important societal issues.
The intention is to delay the need for additional care and support through the development of new products and services to support an ageing society.
Extensive consultation has been undertaken with the healthy ageing community, including care providers, businesses, investors and third sector bodies, to help shape the content of the Programme, explained by Challenge Director George MacGinnis in his pre-launch blog.
In addition these two reports, commissioned by UKRI, have fed into the Programme development:
- The Centre for Ageing Better and Big Society Capital review of Healthy Ageing Innovation and Investment in the UK
- Oxford University's Centre for Population Ageing review of previous government funded initiatives in healthy ageing
What's the investment?
Up to £98 million will be invested in research and innovation that supports people as they age, while also helping those that care for them.
What are the funding opportunities?
Over the coming years there will be a series of opportunities for UK-based businesses and researchers. The opportunities range from Trailblazers which will focus on supporting the development of near to market propositions with potential to be adopted at scale; Investment Accelerator and early stage support for businesses looking to develop early-stage innovations; and research to further our understanding of healthy ageing.
The Centre for Ageing Better charity has developed a Healthy Ageing Challenge Framework, to stimulate thinking about the ISCF Healthy Ageing Challenge. It focuses on seven themes to stimulate innovation in pursuit of longer, healthier lives for all
- Sustaining physical activity
- Maintaining health at work
- Design for age-friendly homes
- Creating healthy, active places
- Supporting social connections
- Living well with cognitive impairment
- Managing common complaints of ageing.
All funded projects will need to show how they tackle one or more of these challenges of older life.
The programme's largest element (£40m) will be the 'Trailblazer' projects, which will stimulate new ideas from a wide range of businesses and social enterprises to develop and deliver products, services and business models at a large scale to support people as they age.
The competition will be run in two stages.
- In the first 'Discovery' stage successful applicants will be given 5 months to develop business plans and demonstrate readiness to implement at scale.
- The second 'Implementation' stage will lead to the award of funding to around 6 projects which will be of up to 4 years duration. Only projects awarded Stage 1 funding will be eligible for the Stage 2 competition.
In addition, the Challenge will consider applications for continuity funding to enable Stage 1 projects that are not successful at Stage 2 to develop alternative investment and delivery strategies.
The first stage of the Trailblazer competition, seeking applications from business and other consortia, opened on 23 September 2019 and closed on 27 November 2019. Applications are under review. Click here to see further information about the matched funding rules (PDF, 185KB) which apply on this scheme. Read more about how Trailblazers will help to deliver the Healthy Ageing Challenge vision in the Challenge Director blog.
Investment Accelerator
This program will catalyse private investment in business-led Research and Development, to grow and take to market innovations for healthy ageing that have clear potential to be adopted at scale. These will focus on product and service innovations, not larger-scale infrastructure.
A total of £29 million in government grants together with matched funding from private investors will be available over the next four years for projects up to £1.5 million in eligible costs.
£13M of grants has already been allocated, alongside private equity from our new Investor Partners from the first competition, which were announced on the 14th May 2020.
They are:
- Legal and General
- Barclays Ventures
- Northstar Ventures
There will be a series of competitions for eligible SMEs to access funding and private equity, which will be investor – led, through a process of invite only applications. Further information can be accessed through the investor websites above.
There will also be additional activity to secure further investor partners in a competition due to open in the autumn 2020. Opportunities for businesses to seek investment from those partnerships will open in Spring/Summer 2021.
Social, Behavioural and Design Research Programme
This programme will provide £9.5m (100% fEC) to fund interdisciplinary academic-led teams to carry out research into social, behavioural and design aspects of healthy ageing. The Programme will contribute to the Challenge mission to, 'ensure that people can enjoy at least five extra healthy, independent, years of life by 2035, while narrowing the gap between the richest and poorest' by enhancing our understanding of the aspirations, preferences and needs of the ageing population. Funded projects may address, but are not limited to, the impacts of the CoVID-19 pandemic on social, behavioural and design aspects of healthy ageing. Projects will also be expected to make a significant contribution to disseminating this knowledge, helping to inform innovators and positively influence market behaviours.
Awards up to £2 million (100% fEC) are available for academics based at UK Research Organisations to conduct research into social, behavioural and design aspects of healthy ageing. Proposals are expected to critically engage with businesses, including social enterprises, to enhance their understanding of the needs and opportunities of an ageing population, help inform innovators and to open up creative spaces for businesses and consumers in an 'ageing market.' The public sector and charities should also be engaged where appropriate.
The outline stage of the call is open until 7 July 2020. You can find out more details about the call here, as well as viewing our briefing webinar here. A Healthy Ageing Research Director was appointed in early 2020 to provide strong, authoritative leadership on research for the Challenge as a whole.

Developing the pipeline: Early stage support
UKRI will provide financial support to academic researchers and small, medium, enterprises working together to develop new products and services. This is early stage innovation activity and it will attract match funding from existing funding streams that focus on digital healthcare and older adults.
A total of up to £12 million will be available through a range of opportunities which will be announced starting in 2020 and run for up to 4 years.
- Catalyst Awards
UKRI is working with the US National Academy of Medicine (NAM) in the USA as a Global Collaborator in their Healthy Longevity Grand Challenge. We will commission a set of Catalyst Awards to support early stage innovation and stimulate interest in global opportunities. Awards are open for applications until 16:00 on 13 February 2020.
Apply for the Healthy Ageing Catalyst Awards here
- Design Programme
The Design Programme will capitalise on the UK's strength in design, in particular early-stage human centred design to maximise the commercial potential of ideas and innovations in the Healthy Ageing sector. The programme will tackle issues in both the supply and demand of design capabilities.
- Collaborative R&D Competition
The aim of the Collaborative R&D competition is to focus on the high-potential early stage collaborative projects, which address key opportunities that would not otherwise be eligible for funding under the Trailblazer nor the Investment Accelerator programmes.
Community of Practice
This programme will facilitate collaboration across the investment portfolio to maximise impact, facilitate international collaboration, support knowledge exchange and foster a pipeline of early stage innovations.

SAN FRANCISCO and HANNOVER, Germany /PRNewswire/ -- Terracotta Inc., a leader in in-memory technologies for enterprise Big Data, unveiled a new native in-memory platform for real-time insight and intelligent action on Big Data. The platform, named Terracotta In-Genius, will allow organizations to discover hidden insights and act on them. As a result, enterprises can significantly reduce risk, automate business processes, and rapidly deploy new offers, products, and services, all in real time.
"The proliferation of devices has dramatically changed the requirements for IT organizations chartered with the gathering, management, analysis, and delivery of important data and insights," said Robin Gilthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Terracotta Inc. "In order to stay competitive, organizations must quickly and easily extract real-time data not only to and from traditional desktop and laptop computers but also to and from mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets, and point-of-sale terminals. The emergence of the Industrial Internet and machine-to-machine communications means billions of sensors are now a new type of client, adding further complexity. All of these demands have exacerbated the need for a solution like In-Genius that will enable businesses to not just access huge amounts of data quickly but also to act on it instantly."
Scaling Up and Out
In-Genius will deliver real-time insights from any kind of data and distribute them to any delivery channel, including Web, mobile, and point-of-sale, for immediate action. At the same time, In-Genius will enable a brand new class of applications that easily scale up and out and adapt to new dynamic data sets while empowering enterprises in ways that have not been achievable using traditional data management approaches, based on antiquated disk drive–centric IT architectures.
"The Industrial Internet has opened up new horizons, using intelligent machines to accelerate productivity, reduce inefficiency and waste, while still enhancing the human work experience," said Bill Ruh, Vice President and Corporate Officer, GE Global Software Headquarters. "These intelligent machines both create and rely on massive amounts of data to make smart decisions, and as such, the continuing evolution of in-memory capabilities will be critical to organizations like GE. Merging the physical worlds of machines with even faster access to, and analysis and action on, huge data sets will allow us to transform the world."
In-Memory Capabilities Core to In-Genius
In-Genius will be powered by Terracotta's new BigMemory 4.0 in-memory data platform. Due to BigMemory 4.0, IT organizations can move all their important data into main memory for speed, scale ,and simplicity, and are no longer bound by their historic costly and complicated data management approaches.
The In-Genius platform will integrate ultra-low latency messaging and event stream processing of data from all data sources, forming a powerful, scalable, and very fast in-memory platform. In-Genius will also enable high-volume applications to communicate in microseconds with each other and with in-memory data stores. With its event-driven architecture, In-Genius will gather and act upon streaming or complex events for reporting, analysis, and real-time response.
The ability to act on insights derived from terabytes of data in real-time can transform entire industries:
- Financial services could save billions annually on fraudulent transactions. Terracotta In-Genius will allow companies to stop such transactions using complex pattern detection before transaction authorization rather than after.
- Logistics companies will be able to perform real-time supply management routings, based not only on package location but also on historical data, traffic sensors, weather, calendar events, and other patterns emerging from data.
- Retailers will be able to provide instant and personalized recommendations not just on the Web but at the point-of-sale across all stores, significantly enhancing revenues and personalizing the consumer's shopping experience for enhanced brand loyalty.
"At AdJuggler, we're building a 1 million transaction-per-second online advertising marketplace," said Ben Lindquist, Vice President of Technology at AdJuggler. "Speed at scale is everything, and we are past the point where we can do things in traditional ways. Terracotta and BigMemory will allow us to scale the backend of our system beyond a million transactions per second and make it globally distributed. Disks are now relegated to archiving. With In-Genius, we will be able to utilize its complex event processing to automatically generate our accounting records, giving us a distinct advantage over our competition."
In-Genius general availability is planned for the third quarter of calendar 2013.

Day of Infamy was originally just a mod for Insurgency which was an intense and tactical shooter. It eventually branched out into its own separate title and was put into Steam Early Access for development. The game has since grown into a full experience featuring a wide range of iconic World War II locations for competitive multiplayer and cooperative action. In coop your goal is to take on waves of enemies while completing certain objectives. This mode is decent and requires incredibly tactical play so you'll need to work well your teammates. The competitive multiplayer supports up to 32 player matches on a variety of modes that also aim to focus on tactical play.
They've recently focused more on this aspect by setting up squad roles that everyone can play which offers better variety in combat and makes sure everyone takes a key position. There's also a wide selection of maps present that are actually decent with some well setup paths though lack a bit on the details aspect. The game it's based on is a bit aged at this point and that shows in Day of Infamy at times with some poor textures in certain areas. This isn't to say it looks at all bad, but I feel there's some room for texture improvement or at least some focus on smaller details to make levels denser as they're somewhat too open at this point. It does however capture the feeling of old school shooters with that and does look alright.
Combat is ultra realistic as singular bullets will kill and there are literally no HUD aspects. Bullets will cause a blur if you're lucky enough to invade oncoming shots though any could mean immediate death. It's actually quite intense and seeing a focused group running through artillery is a crazy experience. There's also great support in the Steam workshop so you can download a variety of game improving mods and strangely all of them seem to mainly focus on realism which makes sense in this type of game. I'm once again impressed with the game and it's nice to see this slowly work into a full multiplayer title. Authentic World War games are somewhat hard to come across in recent years and this definitely fits the role if you're looking for one that focuses on realism in tighter spaces. There's still work to be done, but they've already provided a solid selection of maps, classes and general content to make this feel like a full experience.

Peru Basic Information
If you experience the cheerful '¡Hola, gringo!' greeting in Peru, try not to take offence, it's not intended as a racial slur but rather an ordinary term encompassing all white people who don't speak Spanish - although it's typically reserved for Americans, so politely make the distinction if you must. For more info to know before you go, read on.
Visa Requirements
Australians do not need a tourist visa to visit Peru – just a valid passport and a return ticket to be presented on arrival and you may stay for up to 183 days. All travellers are given an Andean immigration card upon arrival, which must be presented prior to departure from Peru. Make sure your passport has at least 6 months' validity from your planned date of return to Australia. Some airlines may require passengers to present a valid Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate before being allowed to board flights out of Peru. If you have visited Peru in the last 6 days prior to your date of return to Australia, Australian Customs officials will ask you to present a valid Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate on entry into Australia. Please be aware that this information is only a guideline. For up-to-the-minute visa information, contact your local Embassy or Consulate of Peru.
Peru uses the Peruvian Nuevo Sol. The exchange rate between the Australian Dollar and the Peruvian Nuevo Sol (translation: 'new sun') changes constantly so keep an eye on the exchange rate and purchase Nuevo Sol when the rate is at its best. For safe spending while overseas, consider using a credit or debit card.
Peruvian cuisine is made up of a mix of influences from indigenous Incan cuisines to modified traditional dishes from its Spanish, Chinese, Italian, German, Japanese and African immigrants. The staples of Peruvian food are corn, potatoes and peppers along with some interesting delicacies – suri and cuy. Suri is not only the name of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's child, it's also the name of the local Amazonian grub a.k.a. the larvae of the palm weevil – a delicious and nutritious snack. As for cuy? Let's not labour under any false pretence – it's a guinea pig, and in the Andes they've been raised as a food for the last 7,000 years. These little guys are celebrated in both casual and fine restaurants. Peru is also great for street food – try the black clam ceviche, a true Peruvian delicacy. Don't forget to sample some homemade chicha, a traditional drink typically make from fermented fruits and available in non-alcoholic or alcoholic form from markets.
It's no surprise that the big nightlife in Peru goes down in the nation's capital, Lima. Here, immigrants from around the country bring a distinguished international flavour. Lima is the most progressive city in the country with plenty of gay- and lesbian-friendly clubs. It's South America after all, meaning dancing is a big part of the culture here so get grooving to jazz, Latin or rock music – there's something for everyone. Just be sure to keep an eye on your drink when you're on the dancefloor as drink spiking has been an unfortunate issue in Peru. The places to be seen in Lima are Miraflores or Barranco, an artist and writer community that's sleepy by day and wild by night. Rumour has it Lima is South America's new hipster hangout. Must be all the ponchos and bowler hats.

Hi. I think MFW recommends that Kindergarten and 1st graders do K & 1st grade curriculum, and start into the cycle in 2nd grade with older siblings.starryiz929 wrote:I like how our next years will look....next year I'll have one child in 1st and one in 4th doing ECC...the 1st grader can listen in as she pleases with ECC so I'm sure she'll glean some good information and be ready to jump in for 2nd grade with the next level.
But then I have a 3rd child who will not fall into the history cycle until we hit 1850's-Modern Times. So how will she be able to grasp it without the prior years? I can't wrap my head around how that would work.
And I do worry that by the time I do ECC for the 3r time I might be sick of it.
For those who start in 2nd, they'll repeat ECC in 7th, and Creation to Greeks in 8th. In 2nd, they'll mostly listen in, do a few student sheets, "stamp" their passport, play the geography game, etc. But by 7th grade, they'll be ready to do more intensive map work in the geography workbook, complete more students sheets, write a literature paper, etc.
CtG will work the same way: more advanced assignments for 7th and 8th graders than in 2nd-6th.
Will they be bored? I don't think so. It's amazing how much they forget in five years. In fact, I think they may enjoy it more. Our girls look forward to repeating ECC in two years because they enjoyed it so much.
Other Moms who have repeated the cycle can give you better information. In the meantime, hth.

Migrating ERP data successfully
Why it's vital to plan your ERP data migration
A question that is guaranteed to come up at the start of every ERP implementation project is "What data do you want migrated?" Planning which data to migrate to your new ERP system is vital if you want your new system to be successful and valuable.
For example, you need to consider master data carefully and ensure that it is correct. When you import data without planning, it could become very costly and messy to fix discrepancies later on.
Read our ERP data migration checklist to steer you in the right direction.

PESHAWAR: Though shaken by the killing of a local female student by her fiancé over refusal to abandon education, schoolgirls in the provincial capital are committed to continue their studies.
Mostly from middle and lower middle class, parents of these government school students have no formal education.
Mehnaz, a 10th grader, was killed on Wednesday when she was on her way to school in Pishtakhara neighbourhood.
Sheeba, who is in ninth grade, told Dawn that the news of the schoolgirl's killing had dazed her as she couldn't comprehend the opposition to the girls' education.
"I don't know why people oppose education of girls at schools. It not only helps girls lead a better life but also turns out to be a means of monetary support for their families in difficult times," she said.
Irum, another student, said education could change a girl's life for better as an educated girl could better manage family affairs after marriage and bring up her children in a better way compared with uneducated girls.
She said she had been in a state of shock since the hearing of the schoolgirl's killing by her fiancé over refusal to abandon education.
A female nine-grader of a government school said she saluted the dead student for defying bullying to continue with her studies. She said the brutal killing showed the extremist mindset of a segment of society.
Kosar, another schoolgirl, favoured female, saying it lets girls know their rights. She, however, regretted that the girls' views were not respected and often rebuffed by male members of their families, who were mostly illiterate.
She said an educated girl could help her younger siblings lead a better life especially when her parents had no formal education.
Nabeela, a teenaged girl, said Islam allowed girls to get education but most of the families didn't follow Islamic teachings and denied their female members right to education.
She said many girls in the city went to school wearing veil but even then if anyone opposed it, that was appalling.
According to the available statistics, around 800 girls schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been destroyed by militants opposed to female education since 2007.
Ironically, the perpetrators of these acts of sabotage went scot-free.

For immediate release
Brussels, 6 February 2019 - EFAMA welcomes the preliminary agreement in trilogue on the EMIR Refit proposal.
EFAMA Director General Tanguy van de Werve commented: "The new rules are a positive outcome as they acknowledge the need to increase access to clearing by removing existing unnecessary obstacles. We welcome in particular the fact that the agreement recognises the impact of clearing for smaller market participants, which was an important point for us. Exempting small financial counterparts from the clearing obligation is the right approach."
EFAMA looks forward to reviewing the details of the text of the agreement.
