RALEIGH, N.C. — In her day job helping find employment for adults with developmental disabilities, diversity issues are front and center for Oshana Watkins.
So chairing the diversity committee for the Triangle Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals was a natural fit.
Last month, her efforts in that volunteer role were recognized by the chapter's parent entity, AFP International, which awarded Watkins' local chapter with the Friends of Diversity designation.
The honor caps the two years Watkins served as chair of the diversity committee, a position she used to elevate the understanding of diversity within her chapter.
"My goal was to really make an effort for our chapter to engage in diversity," says Watkins, the fundraiser and human resources and public relations director for Raleigh-based Wake Enterprises. "I wanted us to delve into diversity and what it means to fundraising professionals and to the surrounding community."
To do that, she and Clarenda Stanley, major gifts officer for N.C. Central University and a member of Triangle AFP's diversity committee, conceived and launched "Coffee and Conversations" as an informal way for both members and non-members to come together to discuss and share perspectives on diversity.
The inaugural meeting, held last fall, attracted 25 attendees from a broad range of nonprofits, including universities, environmental groups and health and human-services agencies.
Watkins considers that first meeting a success.
"What came out of that meeting is a sense that AFP is really trying to tackle a topic people want to know about," she says.
Together, the group formulated a definition of diversity: "The seeking and achieving of a broad representation of experiences, perspectives, opinions and cultures."
That means not just race, gender and ethnicity, but age, range of experience, background and any other factor that distinguishes one person from the next.
"We wanted to reach out to all types of fundraisers in all types of sectors," says Watkins. "To the ones who have been in the profession for six months and those who have been in for 25 years."
Six more meetings are scheduled for this year and will be hosted by Starbucks at various outlets through the Triangle.
By sharing all those different perspectives, Watkins believes fundraisers can better understand all types of donors.
"Our donors are diverse, and we want to know what they're thinking," she says.
Seeking that broader understanding not only helps connect with donors, she says, but with all other stakeholders, including clients, their families, and board members.
AFP International likes the approach. It is holding up the Triangle chapter, As a Friends of Diversity designee, as a "model for all chapters to emulate in accomplishing diversity related goals."
Watkins rotated out of the chairmanship of the diversity committee at the end of 2009, handing the reins to Stanley, who will coordinate Coffee and Conversations going forward.
Watkins now is coordinating the chapter's premier annual event, National Philanthropy Day, a celebration that honors outstanding local fundraisers and philanthropists and will be held on Nov. 10 at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary.
But diversity will remain a focus for Watkins, who says she will continue to serve as a member of the diversity committee at her AFP chapter and help out when needed.
And her work at Wake Enterprises, which provides jobs for more than 200 adults with developmental disabilities, offers daily opportunities to interact with people different from herself.
"When I'm reaching out to our donors and future donors, I have to be diverse in my thinking and engage donors in a different way," Watkins says.
That's important work, she says.
"When we can reach out to different types of people, that helps our entire agency," she says. "We're all different, but we come together for a common goal."

Give the ego footstep sounds
From SCI Wiki
Here's how to do it, using the SNDBLAST or MTBLAST drivers. I created 4 separate WAV footstep sounds & appended them to 4 empty sound resources. Then in the room script, I added a doit() method which basically checks the current loop of the ego. On two of the cells, we trigger a random sound playback of one of the footsteps.
(local currentCel previousCel loop ) ... (method (doit) (var randomSound) = currentCel (send gEgo:cel) (if (<> currentCel previousCel) = loop (send gEgo:loop) = randomSound Random(0 3) // ego is walking horizontally (if(== loop 0 or == loop 1) (if(== currentCel 0 or == currentCel 4) (send gTheSoundFX: prevSignal(0) stop() number(randomSound) play() ) ) ) // ego is walking vertically (if(== loop 2 or == loop 3) (if(== currentCel 3 or == currentCel 0) (send gTheSoundFX: prevSignal(0) stop() number(randomSound) play() ) ) ) ) = previousCel currentCel )
I did have to make a modification to the ego view in the template game. The 'vertical' animations (the ones where the ego is walking toward/away from you) only had 5 cells, which made the ego sound like he was hobbling. I added an additional cell to each loop which worked, but the result is that the ego appears to be dancing. Quite humorous.
I've uploaded the demo (with source code) to the fan games section.

Mr. Goetze,
I am in receipt of your response to my response to your issuance of an op-ed claiming that Red4Ed was calling for a week-long strike of teachers in October. You posted it to my blog's Facebook timeline on Saturday. You started, "I admit I do appreciate you calling me out in a forum where I am at least afforded the opportunity to respond."
Well, you're welcome. Of course you have the right to respond as I have the right to respond to your response. I also have the right to voice opinions and concerns. It just happens that my concerns are the same when it comes to the treatment of public schools as many others and together we have a put our voices together. One time we got together in Raleigh this past May and aired those concerns as one voice.
And if I remember correctly from your initial Facebook posting you pretty much wanted your words to be in an open forum. You said,
So let's keep this open. You continued, "Several of the presumptions you've made about me are simply false but that is no surprise since the truth would not suit your preferred conclusions about me or this issue."
That's funny. I was about to say the same thing about you. But you conveniently numbered them for me and I will respond to each in order.
"1) I am a lifelong resident of NC, born, raised and schooled there and am only now in the process of selling my home and moving to VA. I remain a legal resident of NC as we speak."
Forgive me for thinking you lived in Virginia. Apparently, I should have read your Facebook profile more between the lines.
Hard not to assume you didn't live in NC when the very Facebook profile that you posted your op-ed for all to copy and send to newspapers was also on that very same page.
"2) I do have education experience, having been an Assistant Professor at NC A&T for over 3 years and honored to be called as a periodic Guest Instructor at both the National Guard Professional Education Center in Little Rock, AR and at the Army Command & General Staff College in Ft. Leavenworth, KS."
Maybe I should have added one more distinction concerning your perspective in my original response – you have never taught in a public high school. Debating about whether one can equate being an assistant professor to a high school teacher is an exercise that others can entertain.
But while you do mention it, I wonder what you might think of the actions of the current NCGA and what it has done to our public university system. Did you see tuition costs getting higher and higher even as the "economy" was recovering? Since NC A&T is one of our most distinguished HBCU's, what did you think of what Betsy DeVos said about HBCU's being the original "school choice" experiment?
As the Assistant Professor of Military Science at NC A&T, you were a part of the ROTC program. Those who went through your program probably received financial aid or scholarships through the Army. I had two fraternity brothers myself who were ROTC and both had full scholarships as they had not only earned them, but had chosen the military as their career.
As the Assistant Professor of Military Science at NC A&T, you no doubt valued the preparation that students/cadets had academically in their past to help ensure their ability to perform well in the collegiate classroom. As public high school advocates, that's what we are trying to maintain. What many high school teachers are asking for is more help for their students. You wanted to make sure that your students had the proper resources, did you not?
And since you taught a specialized curriculum that did not serve a majority of the students, how would you talk to a teacher who taught "specials" in their schools as the unfunded class size mandate was wreaking havoc in school budgets?
"3) This issue was brought to my attention by a current classroom teacher in NC."
Is this teacher a member of NCAE? Red4EdNC? Organize2020? Has this person been approached to "go on strike" for week in October?
And is this teacher one of the ones who actually is smart? Remember in your op-ed you said, "Apparently they aren't smart enough to understand the law.
"4) While the graphic does not specifically mention "strike", it mentions "collective action" in two phases (4&8). Phase 8 also makes the connection between that action and a Legislative response which is what the statute prohibits. Phase 9 provides for an elevated level of that collective action if demands are not met. This is collective bargaining and it is illegal in NC."
Again, we go back to this graphic:
So, you admit that the word "strike" was never mentioned but your op-ed says that is what is going to happen. And you said, "NC General Statute § 95-98 forbids collective bargaining by all public employees, including teachers."
Here I will defer to another public school teacher with whom I work whose experience in civics and history far exceeds mine. Think of it as my own version of having something brought to my attention by a classroom teacher.
He is John deVille, veteran educator and public-school activist who authors thesocialstudies.org website. His experience in issues related to public school reform in NC simply dwarfs mine.
He says,
Here's what I think is wrong with Mr. Goetze's assumptions and conclusions…..
(1) He's assuming that what Red4EdNC means by "collective action" is "strike." Being classroom teachers, we're a tad creative and our portfolio is deep and wide when it comes to collective action. Who knows where all of this will go and we're not sharing strategies and tactics with those who don't share our interests, but please sleep easy that we're a long way off from strike.
(2) Please do a close reading of the statute because what's prohibited is:
Creating a contract between a collective bargaining unit and our employers. NC has been a right-to-work state, especially with public employees. That prohibition is a vestige of the South's Jim Crow era. As Dr. David Zonderman, professor of history at NC State explains:
"Here in North Carolina, we are going to celebrate a dubious golden anniversary this summer
[2009]. Fifty years ago this June, spurred by fears of union corruption, communism, and (gasp) black and white people organizing together for better jobs and higher wages, the North Carolina legislature imposed a prohibition on public workers collectively bargaining for a legal contract-General Statute (GS) 95-98."
The unions that the North Carolina's General Assembly were most concerned about forming were among police officers and firefighters in Charlotte. It's hard to crack down on African American protesters, allied with progressive whites, if you have a union of white and black cops and firefighters. Those would be the very groups elected officials would have had to summon to maintain discrimination and segregation and to crack down on marchers and protesters with their fire hoses and dogs. In other words, the NC's state and municipal governments had to maintain Jim Crow among those employees if those employees were the requisite lever to maintain Jim Crow among the broader population. If you and your friends want to maintain a posture of fealty to that reactionary position, that's your right, but in polite society in 2018, that's a pretty ugly position.
(3) Since 1959 there have been no contracts between public employees and their employers in NC, nor is there any vehicle to achieve. Thus, there is no danger of any contract being formed between teachers as a collective and our employers.
(4) Our employers are, for the most part, the Boards of Education of the 116 Local Education Agencies of North Carolina. Major Dave, please be very clear on this point, because it goes both to the fine points of the law and the finer points of our Declaration — we have NO grievances with our employers as such, nor we will we ever be taking collective action aimed at them. Please be clear, our grievances are entirely with the North Carolina General Assembly as it has been constituted since January of 2011, continuously under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Phil Berger, and under the previous leadership of House Speaker Thom Tillis and now under the leadership of House Speaker Tim Moore. I refer you to our Declaration on those points where we have issues.
(5) Contracts, collectively negotiated, cannot happen. And we have no grievance with our employers, so § 95-98., § 95-98.1, and § 95-98.2 cannot apply, strike or no strike.
(6) Although I don't think it was stated by Mr. Goetze, I'd like to address some concerns others on Mr. Goetze's Facebook page have expressed.
The May 16th march was not a strike. Teachers got the time to go to Raleigh by two different means.
We submitted application to our respective building principals, the agent who acts on behalf of our respective employers, to take what is referred to as a "personal day." Such applications are fully enshrined in NC statute. By law, the principal must allow that leave of absence so long as the application is made approximately ten or more days prior to the desired leave day. Because some districts were both overwhelmed with leave requests, and, in some cases, superintendents, who are the ultimate representative of our employers were sympathetic to our grievances and our reasons for submitting those leave requests because they know, better than anyone given their deep perspectives, that we are all sharing the same pain with our students, pain brought on by the callousness of the NC General Assembly.
Please also be aware, that in cases where systems did not shut down, like mine, we paid for our subs out of our own pockets. We paid for our own gas money, bus tickets, food, daycare, and all the other expenses entailed in making our collective voices heard on May 16th. We did this not out of greed, but because we are alarmed in what we see happening in our classrooms.
A couple of statistical graphs are in order.
We aren't "socialists" nor are we looking for some sort of massive "redistribution of wealth." All we are seeking is a return to the modest, barely adequate funding levels of 2008. If you don't think that a restoration of public education in NC to the level of quality of service we were able to provide in 2008, that is certainly your prerogative, but please know that is all we are seeking. If you don't think class sizes, number of classroom assistants (cut in half since 2011), textbooks (talk to a teacher about textbooks in NC classrooms) are worthy goals, that is indeed your prerogative but be clear that is what we are seeking.
Personally, I agree with deVille's assessment much more than your cursory view of the matter.
Back to your response.
"5) What is not shown in my post or letter is the information from the NCAE 2020 Webinar documents that specifically calls for all member teachers to be absent from the work place for an entire week in October for the express purpose of registering voters in advance of the Fall elections. If you can convince a judge that this does not amount to a strike, walkout or work slowdown, then please plead your case. Just perhaps the left's left hand (Red4EdNC) doesn't know what the right hand (NCAE) is doing, but I know teachers don't live in a vacuum so it is logical that many of them are aware of both sides of this coin and are acting in concert with both."
Wait. You said that it was Red4EdNC that was calling the strike. Or was it NCAE? And now you are bringing in Organize2020 into the conversation? Do you really know the relationships that these organizations have?
Allow me to address that judge comment you made first. If you previously called what happened in May a walkout, then explain to me how a judge did not have all of us arrested for being on "strike."
And that webinar document you are referring to is a list of notes and topics that were thrown out at that time. If you interpreted that as a direct plan of action, then that is your problem. Considering that you were alerted to a situation by a classroom teacher who saw some notes from a webinar that he/she was probably not a part of from an organization you never identified in the op-ed you want so many people to publish, then you might want to reassess how you validate what is truth and what might be spreading rumors.
It certainly does not seem the way an assistant professor at a major university would present facts.
You no doubt will want to rebut and / or respond to this latest part of our conversation, but I will leave you with this: while you may consider this to be a partisan issue (your use of the words "let" and "liberal" on many occasions leads me to that conclusion), what public education is really is a public good protected by the state constitution. It is a teacher's job to advocate for that.
And that is what I and thousands of other public education advocates are doing – many of whom are registered Republicans and Independents.
Because public schools, while a political issue, is not partisan.

Kate always brings projects to show off and today she had Bigger on the inside. I took a few quick pictures before class started.
Kate said that the yarn (Solemate from Lorna's Laces) blocks out beautifully. It is darker in real life than it shows in the pictures on knitty.com. Being hand dyed there is a slight colour variation in the yarn.
Kate will be back in August. I think she is going to teach Finishing and Your First Lace Shawl. I will have more details about this in the next couple of weeks.
Beth and I finished Top Chef Season 4 last night and started into Season 5. It is great watching TV with no commercials. The only problem with the show is that I want to watch them cook so I put down my knitting. I'm not accomplishing as much as I would like to. It's time to finish my post and get the needles out.

Release Date: January 1, 2010
Label: Centrediscs / Centredisques
The expression "to push boundaries", where the musical instrument is the boundary to be pushed, has become common place and over-used to the point of cliché. where the harpsichord and contemporary music are concerned, and as musicians and composers explore gestures, playing techniques and compositional language that can accommodate the harpsichord's characteristics – resulting in a musical text that is instrument-specific – people have been "pushing boundaries" for at least a century (neither is this instrument-specificity recent. baroque composers had to deal with the harpsichord in much the same way, and composed scores that were highly harpsichord-specific). also to the point of cliché, "the liberation of the harpsichord", is bandied about and usually refers to its liberation from a historical playing technique and neo-baroque writing. but jalsaghar proposes that the instrument is secondary in the scheme of things, a mere medium for the transport of Music, and that it is Music, rather, that needs liberating – from the stranglehold of instrument. and so jalsaghar's harpsichord may sound unlike its conventional self, at times perhaps even unrecognizable, the goal of this recording being to make it adapt to, and to be in the service of, Music, rather than vice-versa.
to transcend instrument, the harpsichord, to deny, defy and refuse it, to hear so-called instrumental Music in and as space, colour and light at different depths-of-field – with a sound design that aspires to both the serious and the playful – to try to attain an idea / l of Music, to give it wing – this is the goal of jalsaghar.

...allured to the trade of law, grounding their purposes not on the prudent and heavenly contemplation of justice and equity, which was never taught them, but on the promising and pleasing thoughts of litigious terms, fat contention, and flowing fees...or to state affairs by the love of flattery,exchanging wisdom and virtue for the currency of well-worn aphorism and favors. And I agree with Milton that it would be better that such empty souls spend their lives in self-interested frivolity than that they thrust the burden of their ignorance on the rest of us by so-called civil service. An idiot in the legislature is worth two in the tavern, I suppose; the former knowing only enough to be profoundly dangerous.
But this approach seems to neglect the real public need for trade-centered education in elevating those who were not blessed, as Milton, with ample leisure in the library. Some folks are required to pull as an ox before conversing in the cart. Learning the mechanical arts of butchery, carpentry, or plumbing may deserve, in some cases, a higher priority than the language arts. In our time, these trades may be the means by which a student is able to put himself through school and begin to elevate his station. In this way, practical learning - coupled with the essential grammar of basic morality and frugality - tills the soil wherein lofty humanism can grow.

Decades after a mysterious swastika formation was discovered in a German forest, questions remain over the origins of such patterns rumored to have been planted across the country.
The swastika symbol in the German forest near Brandenburg was first noticed by accident. The Nazi formation -- created from a patch of about 140 larch trees -- was discovered in 1992 by a landscaping company intern who was examining aerial photographs for irrigation lines, according to German site Der Spiegel.
The ingenious, albeit offensive, pattern was revealed in autumn as the larch trees were beginning to change color, contrasting starkly with the surrounding pines trees, which remained a lush green.
Throughout the years many people have attempted to unravel the mystery of this and other forest swastikas, but Der Spiegel notes that concrete answers remain elusive.
Officials first attempted to eliminate the Brandenburg swastika in the 1990s, according to Reuters. Displaying a Nazi symbol is illegal in the country, so workers chopped down the trees, but they eventually grew back. In 2000, German officials made a second attempt to destroy the symbol, using chain saws to cut 25 of the trees down to nubs.
"The explosive nature of this Nazi pattern in the trees had to be defused," Jens-Uwe Schade, spokesman for the Brandenburg environment ministry, said at the time. "We have now cut down 25 trees and that will hopefully eliminate the problem."
The BBC reported that the trees forming the swastika may have been planted as a World War II-era birthday gift to Adolf Hitler, but Der Spiegel notes another theory suggests the formation was planted as a thank you to the Reich Labor Service for building a nearby village's street.
Meanwhile, reports of other swastika forests have become part of the local lore. In the German town of Wiesbaden-Naurod, for example, rumors persist of a giant swastika shaped during the era of national-socialism. And as recently as 2006, The New York Times reported on the so-called Eki Naryn swastika, a 600-foot (across) tree swastika near the edge of the Himalayas in Kyrgyzstan.
In this case, too, there are conflicting theories. Some say that German prisoners of war planted the trees to get back at their Soviet captors, while others maintain Kyrgyz laborers were tricked into planting the swastika by a Nazi-sympathizing supervisor in the 1940s, according to The Times. Adding to the confusion, a local guide told the outlet that he remembers learning that the trees were planted as a show of goodwill between Stalin and Hitler in the 1930s.
No matter the origin, the fate of such formations may depend on whether local officials believe the forest swastikas are harmless or offensive. According to The Times, Kyrgyz locals seemed to be split on whether or not to keep the trees -- a marked difference from the Brandenburg officials, who were worried the forest might become a neo-Nazi shrine.
"We can only hope that we cut down enough trees this time to eliminate the relic," Brandenburg environment ministry spokesman Schade previously told Reuters.

INDIANAPOLIS - This city, showing the malleability of the self-aware (the Indianapolis 500 isn't the behemoth it once was), has embarked on a plan to become a City With Stuff To Do.
INDIANAPOLIS - This city, showing the malleability of the self-aware (the Indianapolis 500 isn't the behemoth it once was), has embarked on a plan to become a City With Stuff To Do.
Almost overnight, culture in Indy has become more than watching pit-stop practice or visiting the NCAA Hall of Champions.
It's an outdoor sculpture park, a remarkable children's museum, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and a gorgeous riverwalk.
The riverwalk offers many delights and two challenges: One is bird-nesting season, when the birds that hang out along the railing dive-bomb anyone who comes too close; the other is turning your head just right so you see the beauty of the riverwalk while keeping the monstrosity that is Lucas Oil Stadium out of your view.
Here are four must-do's:
� Indianapolis Museum of Art and 100 Acres: The museum has an impressive collection, just the thing to elevate your tone and conversation after a sweaty day of vroom-vroom. 100 Acres is the Virginia Fairbanks Art and Nature Park, an outdoor sculpture display and garden. The museum and 100 Acres are free. Visit www.imamuseum.org.
� Children's Museum of Indianapolis: Even if you don't have a kid, this place is seriously cool, from its immense Chihuly glass sculpture to a new permanent archaeology exhibit, "National Geographic Treasures of the Earth." Visit www.childrensmuseum.org.
� White River State Park: Be sure to hit the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art (www.eiteljorg.org), and the surprisingly good Indiana State Museum (www.indianamuseum.org).
� Breakfast at Cafe Patachou: The notion is "farm to table," using organic, fresh ingredients. Visit www.cafepatachou.com.

Any news on Gerrard? Think if we get him can't be any worse than it is.
Guys a winner and if first job I'd imagine he'd be going full guns to get us winning.
Alot on here upset with Murty but to be honest guys done his best. He was pushed to front of firing line by board.
18 Apr 2018 23:18:41
I think we have a pest control problem at Ibrox and am wondering if Wallace and Miller are the start of a clearance of pests. We may never find out until they release their books which we will be expected to buy.
17 Dec 2017 16:32:14
Think we need 2/ 3 players in Jan and maybe say see you later to Niko and someone else. Really think 100 percenters are needed. For example Simon Murray. Hibs are full of them. And look where they are with tiny budget. Or we could just get lennon lol.
1.) 17 Dec 2017 17:39:02
Would take Leon nay bother and he's hard enough to say aye
2.) 17 Dec 2017 21:08:16
I would say as well as having MOH back for another crack through the middle, we need about 5 new faces thrown in the mix. I am under no illusions about transfer budgets and new manager scenarios but we must freshen things up and add a new dynamic to the playing squad, even If transfers are young low budget additions or maybe even quality loans. The team must be given a fighting chance to gain a better position than last season.
3.) 17 Dec 2017 21:48:46
He can't play with his back to goal because he hasn't got a first touch which is why he can't play through the middle for us and is why he has struggled when he has played for us out on the wing because it's different when you play for a team who have most of the ball and you have to try and break teams down as to playing for a team who play counter attacking football with balls over the top etc.
4.) 17 Dec 2017 22:02:19
Snell, Alex 32 and wee_bear. So where we a better team on Saturday without miller then?
5.) 17 Dec 2017 22:55:09
No we weren't Rick fair play to you, Miller has been the key to it all!
6.) 17 Dec 2017 23:04:28
Rick, MOH would play with Morelos who would hold the ball up. He would tussle with Windass for the pacey secondary striker roll. We don't have most of the ball in top 6 games and all Windass' goals have been from balls over the top or through balls so I don't know where your coming from. Also we have the two biggest assist rate players in Candeias and Tav as well as McCrorie who loves a through ball to feed him. Admit MOH and Windass are similar players but competition has to be fierce. MOH has 5 goals on his tally and Windass has 6 now. We don't have a tremendous amount of options just now so we need to utilise what we do have.
7.) 18 Dec 2017 00:45:31
your bang on Rick. We would have coasted that game and never have given away such cheap goals if we had Miller there 😐
8.) 18 Dec 2017 07:15:56
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there Snell? Lol
9.) 19 Dec 2017 02:32:31
MOH had plenty of chances. Just not good enough and a poor attitude to boot. Would get Dodoo back in the first team squad though, always looked explosive off the bench. Looking at the bench on Saturday we had nothing offensively to offer.

Celtic fans in Belfast abusing Nacho Novo. Wishing him death. Pathetic from grown men. Some fans from both sides need to grow up and get a life. It's a game of football. Really sad times ahead if this sort of behavior continues.

Literally just watched that video there and was going to post the same thing, disgusting video! Good on wee Nacho standing up for himself though and shaming the scumbag.

What an absolute knuckle dragger that thing was, I say thing beacause he is clearly not an evolved human, far closer to pond slime.

I really like that Jordan Jones boy killie have. Not scared of celtic like other wingers. Hopefully we get a few goals today and bash on to Tuesday. LET'S GO
3.) 05 May 2018 09:49:52
Jones is good if he gets space. Most teams sit in against us and deny us space. No for me a FAR better standard required to win a title
4.) 05 May 2018 10:45:09
For me younger than Murphy and has performed better against them. Would be able to sell on as well and prob cheaper.
04 May 2018 20:38:09
It's always about us. If we're not winning or winning it's always about Rangers. Celtic about to possibly do double treble but all the talk is Rangers new manager. Brilliant. Even if they win it then goes to Gerrard first signing, preseason etc. Dave King timing perfect.
1.) 04 May 2018 21:00:28
I feels good again. I don't remember 4000 turning up for the bread man or Pedro. The futures bright the futures orange
2.) 04 May 2018 21:06:48
Blue nose, 4000 is fantastic but it was reported on stv that it was 5000 who welcomed Steven Gerrard. Credit to our supporters once again.

Last rant. We have a Ranger in Ricksen who is a warrior on and off the pitch. These players should look at him tonight at the awards which should have been cancelled and feel deeply ashamed. Get your wages to his charity if you have any heart.
1.) 29 Apr 2018 21:54:23
Rickson is not there!
2.) 29 Apr 2018 22:21:18
Totally agree mate well said. a total disgrace if we have a player of the year
3.) 29 Apr 2018 22:43:55
That's the problem though these imposters currently disgracing the jersey have no heart
23 Apr 2018 12:01:26
I hope the players remember all the digs and jokes made at our expense by celtic this weekend. I expect a passionate performance and hopefully a result. Let's ruin their party.

If defoe signs he will hopefully help morreles become lethal in front of goal. 200 goals for various teams. Has the knowledge to pass. Better at finishing and morreles would be a 15 / 20 million pound player if he kerbs the temper.

Black Friday Blitz: Giveaway & Guest Post for The Last Bastion of the Living (On Sale for $.99)
I'm looking forward to reading this book and just grabbed my copy since it's on sale : ) Happy Black Friday, shoppers!
The Last Bastion of the Living by Rhiannon Frater
The Bastion was humanity's last hope against the fearsome undead creatures known as the Inferi Scourge. A fortified city with a high wall, surrounded by lush land rich with all the resources needed to survive, protected by high mountain summits, and a massive gate to secure the only pass into the valley, the Bastion became the last stronghold of the living on earth. But one fateful day, the gate failed and the Inferi Scourge destroyed the human settlements outside the walls and trapped the survivors inside the city. Now decades later, the last remaining humans are struggling to survive in a dying city as resources and hope dwindle.
Vanguard Maria Martinez has lived her whole life within the towering walls of steel. She yearns for a life away from the overcrowded streets, rolling blackouts, and food shortages, but there is no hope for anyone as long as the Inferi Scourge howl outside the high walls. Her only refuge from the daily grind is in the arms of her lover, Dwayne Reichardt, an officer in the Bastion Constabulary. Both are highly-decorated veterans of the last disastrous push against the Inferi Scourge. Their secret affair is her only happiness.
Then one day Maria is summoned to meet with a mysterious representative from the Science Warfare Division and is offered the opportunity to finally destroy the Inferi Scourge in the valley and close the gate. The rewards of success are great, but she will have to sacrifice everything, possibly even her life, to accomplish the ultimate goal of securing the future of humanity and saving it from extinction.

Robotic demolition – the future of demolition has arrived
Over three decades ago when our business 'National Drilling Services' was formed, the term 'robotic demolition' would really have sounded like something out of a sci-fi film or some futuristic idea. However fast forward 30 years and not only does robotic demolition exist, but we have our very own Brokk 100 robotic demolition machine. Even for the non technical amongst us, the Brokk 100 is an exciting piece of kit to watch in action. You might not get quite so much drama as with a swinging wrecking ball. There may not be the crowds of the 1970s and 1980s coming to watch as factory chimneys are cleared from industrial sites to make way for modern structures. However, more importantly in an era when health and safety at work is constantly under scrutiny, we can guarantee you get a much improved level of safety and accuracy with this robotic demolition machine.
What is better about robotic demolition?
There are so many advantages to using the Brokk 100 robotic demolition machine, which is why the management at National Drilling Services decided to invest in one solely for our business. Apart from the improved safety aspects referred to above, this robotic demolition machine has a number of impressive features. It is much smaller than you might imagine which means it can be transported between sites on a standard trailer. As it is robotic and operated by a remote controller, the operative can stand a safe distance away from where the demolition is taking place. The control unit allows precision moves and extremely accurate demolition, again improving safety and efficiency. For us one of the most impressive features of the Brokk 100 robotic demolition machine is the fact that it can climb stairs and fit into lifts.
You might be mistaken into thinking that something this compact may lack in power. We can assure you that this is quite the opposite. This robotic demolition machine is extremely powerful and in fact it is 35% more powerful than its predecessor. If you would like to find out more about the Brokk 100 robotic demolition machine and how it could facilitate your demolition project then see our webpage: http://www.nationaldrilling.co.uk/robotic-demolition/. Alternatively, contact our team on 0161 443 2822. If you want to tell us more about your demolition requirements you can also email us email@example.com.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
Galchenyuk's six-year tenure with the Habs came to a close in June when he was shipped off in a 1-for-1 trade for Max Domi. Once he returns from a lower-body injury sustained in training camp, it's expected that Chucky will move from right wing to center while reprising his role as a top-six contributor for Arizona. The Wisconsin native has averaged 0.62 points in his NHL career and has been a perennial power-play weapon to boot. Last season, the Coyotes and Canadiens were on the same level offensively, which is enough reason to hedge against a full-on breakout campaign for Galchenyuk, though the pieces are in place for the American winger to potentially lead the team in assists after he registered a career-high 32 in 2017-18. Already sitting on a high floor in the fantasy realm, Galchenyuk's shooting percentage should draw closer to the mean (12.4) following his substandard 8.9 conversion rate last season.
Having notched a career-high 30 goals in 2015-16, Galchenyuk was met with inflated expectations ahead of a new season. Montreal's 2012 third overall draft pick responded with 23 points in the first 25 games, having made a strong case to stick as a top-line NHL center. He did have woeful faceoff numbers (42.7 winning percent) and a sketchy two-way game, but inspired play within the attacking zone made up for it. Unfortunately, a December knee injury shelved him for six weeks and lingered upon his return. Galchenyuk was eventually replaced on the top line by Phillip Danault, and he started getting bottom-six minutes following the coaching change to Claude Julien. The 23-year-old has been yanked between wing and center, which has slowed his development and consequently frustrated the organization. He may begin the season on the wing, where he can focus on scoring goals, but it's unlikely that the experiment at center is over. The hope is that a full training camp with Julien should land Galchenyuk in a comfortable spot, preferably as a top-six forward.
Galchenyuk had a breakout year in 2015-16, reaching the 30-goal mark for the first time. And it didn't really get going until March, when head coach Michel Therrien made him the top-line center beside Max Pacioretty and eventually Brendan Gallagher. The 2012 No. 3 overall pick produced 16 goals and 22 points in the season's final 22 games. Deployment has always been an impeding factor in the development of the young forward, whose previous experiments at center were quickly aborted by Therrien. The coach has had Galchenyuk on simmer since entering the league, whether by handcuffing him to third-line duty with less skilled forwards, marginalizing him to the wing, or simply limiting his minutes. Even during last year's breakout, he skated less at even strength than in the previous season. Thankfully, Galchenyuk also averaged the fourth-most power-play time among forwards, and he scored nearly a third of his goals in those situations. There are deficiencies in his game on the defensive end, but the coach needs to get past that. He should be expected to remain the Habs' top center, especially for fantasy purposes.
Galchenyuk suited up for 80 NHL games for the first time last year at age 20, and the results were terrific. Granted more responsibility, he saw a rise in production, hitting 20 goals for the first of what should be many times in his career and tallying 46 points overall. The No. 3 pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, Galchenyuk is well on his way to becoming a franchise player for the Habs, and this could be the year that he makes the leap to elite status. It remains to be seen whether he ultimately remains at left wing or returns to center, but either way, Galchenyuk should be in for another spike in fantasy value as he continues to gain the strength and stamina he needs to deal with the rigors of the NHL season and avoid those late-season dry spells he's been prone to falling into.
Galchenyuk suffered a couple of injuries in 2013-14 and was limited to 65 games. We were looking for some growth out of him coming off a promising rookie season, but he continued to make young-player mistakes. Most notably, Galchenyuk tended to have lapses in his own end, and he experienced a steep scoring drop-off after a strong start to the season. There's a ton of offensive talent wrapped up in the 21-year-old, so the Canadiens will be patient as he learns to be a more consistent contributor. There's been talk of a move to his natural center position, but the Habs are deep up the middle. The loss of Brian Gionta opens up a wing spot on the second line and Galchenyuk is an obvious choice to replace him, but coach Michel Therrien is not about to hand him the position unconditionally.
Galchenyuk, 19, scored 27 points in 48 games as a rookie in 2012-13. Having the high-prized prospect on the opening-night roster was a way for the Canadiens to excite the fan base before returning him to the juniors, but Galchenyuk showed enough and produced enough early on to show that he belonged in the NHL. There were many learning moments and some significant scoring droughts, but the experience will make the kid a better player this season. He'll be a top-nine forward to open the season with potential to move up.
The third overall pick in this past June's draft, Galchenyuk played just two games for the OHL's Sarnia Sting last year due to a knee injury, but the talented pivot snagged 31 goals and 83 points two seasons ago in the OHL. He'll turn 19 in February, but did sign a three-year entry level contract with the Habs in July. Odds are, Montreal will give him at least a piece of the requisite 10-game look that players still in juniors are allowed, but he's definitely a player worth remembering when he lands at the NHL level.

What is Cradle to Cradle Design?
Cradle to Cradle Design (also referred to as Cradle to Cradle, C2C, or regenerative design) is a concept which proposes to change our way of thinking on materials and products from a linear process into a circular one. Our current linear cradle to grave process causes numerous environmental problems. Nature is sacrificed to the harvest of materials towards human needs, valuable materials are buried or burned after use, and huge amounts of waste and toxins are produced.
Cradle to Cradle models human industry on nature's processes viewing materials as nutrients circulating in healthy, safe metabolisms. It suggests that industry must protect and enrich ecosystems and nature's biological metabolism while also maintaining a safe, productive technical metabolism for the high-quality use and circulation of organic and technical nutrients. Put simply, it is a holistic economic, industrial and social framework that seeks to create systems that are not only efficient but also essentially waste free.
The concept originated with the 2002 publication of architect William McDonough's "Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things", a manifesto for cradle to cradle design that gives specific details of how to achieve the model. The model has been implemented by a number of companies, organizations and governments around the world, predominantly in the European Union, China and the United States. Cradle to cradle has also been the subject of many documentary films, including the critically acclaimed Waste=Food.
The Linear Cradle to Grave Process
o Materials: Valuable materials are disposed and become useless.
o Natural resources Are spilled for energy & waste production.
o Waste: Large amounts of waste materials are produced.
o Toxics: Air, water and soil and people get polluted with toxic waste products.
o Energy: Fossil fuels and nuclear power create severe pollution.
o Natural habitats are destroyed by harvesting materials.
The Circular Cradle to Cradle Process
In the circular process every product can be endlessly recycled as long as the products are designed and produced with the recycling phase in mind. Because waste is turned into food for nature and industry an unlimited grow of consumption would be possible. To make recycling possible we should separate two types of material cycles or 'metabolisms': the technical and biological. The technical metabolism recycles man made materials like plastics, concrete, metals and other chemicals. When the different materials in the product can be separated after use it will be possible to endlessly reuse these materials into new products without losing its material qualities.
The materials that are part of the biological cycle consist of natural materials like wood, cotton, wool and paper products. After use they can be recycled in nature as a nutrient for plants and animals. A condition for this cycle is that the materials are not contaminated with technical materials or toxins.The key condition for both systems to work is that the materials can be effectively separated and recycled after use. This is necessary to prevent down cycling, which happens when different materials are mixed into a new product.
Each recycling stage will limit the possibilities for reuse until a useless product is produced after all:
•Materials stay available since they are reused in an endless cycle.
•Natural resources are fed with waste materials and will regrow.
•Waste: By separating biological and technical nutrients its easier to recycle waste.
•Toxins: Non-toxic alternatives are available, preventing waste from becoming a toxic.
•Energy sustainable energy sources makes harvesting resources and pollution unnecessary.
•Natural habitats are less disturbed as fewer materials need to be harvested.
Cradle to Cradle Design in Architecture
The cradle to cradle concept is easy to explain using a single product that is made in a factory, is used and disposed after a few years. Architecture is a different story since most buildings are unique designs that are made of products made in numerous factories from all over the world. Closing the material cycle here is difficult task. The best way to make sure the building can be separated into materials that can be reused in the factory it came from is by making the building de-mountable and by using locally produced materials. McDonough & Braungart extend the use of local building materials to using local energy and water.
A building should produce its own energy to prevent the mining and use of fossil fuels for energy production. By gathering rainwater and purifying its own waste water a building can prevent pollution and dehydration of ecosystems elsewhere.
Cradle to Cradle gives architects an assignment as follows:
•no toxics should be used.
•all materials should separable and recyclable after the building's lifetime.
•the building should be the product of local action to ensure (ecological) diversity, expression and aesthetic preference.
•the design will emphasize the use of local resources
•the design will emphasize use of local building methods.
•the building gathers its own rainwater and purifies its waste water.
•the building generates its own energy or provides it to neighboring buildings whenever feasible.

- Manufacturing output in September 2015 was up 0.8% on the month but down 0.6% on the year
- Total industrial production in September was down 0.2% on the month and up 1.1% on the year
Commenting on the index of production figures for September 2015 published today by the ONS, David Kern, Chief Economist at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said:
"Although manufacturing output improved noticeably in September, the sectors longer term performance is still inadequate. Taking Q3 2015 as a whole manufacturing recorded declines both on the quarter and on the year.
"The manufacturing sector is facing many obstacles as a result of difficult global circumstances - Eurozone growth remains weak and there is instability in China.
"While our economy relies increasingly on our dynamic services sector, a healthy manufacturing industry is vital for innovation, productivity and exports. The manufacturing sector requires as much support as possible – with a focus on boosting skills and access to finance – to compete in global markets."
