1540s, "open to view, catching the eye," from Latin conspicuus "visible, open to view; attracting attention, striking," from conspicere "to look at, observe, see, notice," from assimilated form of com-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see com-), + specere "to look at" (from PIE root *spek- "to observe").
Meaning "obvious to the mind, forcing itself upon the attention" is from 1610s; hence "eminent, notable, distinguished." Related: Conspicuously; conspicuousness. Phrase conspicuous by its absence (1859) is said to be from Tacitus ("Annals" iii.76), in a passage about certain images: "sed præfulgebant ... eo ipso quod effigies eorum non visebantur."
Conspicuous consumption "expenditure on a lavish scale to enhance prestige" is attested by 1895 in published writing of Norwegian-American economist and sociologist Thorstein Vebeln, made famous in his "The Theory of the Leisure Class" (1899).
Not only must wealth be possessed, but there must be a show of its possession. It must be made obvious to all that there is an inexhaustible reserve. Hence leisure must be made conspicuous by "conspicuous consumption" and "conspicuous waste." If only enough persons and the right persons could see it and know it, it would be highly honorific to light a cigar occasionally with a thousand-dollar bill. A man must not limit his consumption to himself and his family. He must live in a palace many times larger than he can possibly fill, and have a large retinue of servants and retainers, ostensibly to minister to his wants, but really to make clear his ability to pay. [Lester F. Ward, review of "Theory of the Leisure Class" in The American Journal of Sociology, May 1900]
early 15c., "prepared or made in the house," from Old French domestique (14c.) and directly from Latin domesticus "belonging to the household," from domus "house," from PIE *dom-o- "house," from root *dem- "house, household."
From 1610s as "relating to or belonging to the home or household affairs." From 1650s as "attached to home, devoted to home life." Meaning "pertaining to a nation (considered as a family), internal to one's country" is from 1540s. Of animals, "tame, living under the care of humans," from 1610s. Related: Domestically.
The noun meaning "a household servant" is from 1530s (a sense also found in Old French domestique); the full phrase servaunt domestical is attested in English from mid-15c. Domestics, originally "articles of home manufacture," is attested from 1620s; in 19c. U.S. use especially "home-made cotton cloths." Domestic violence is attested from 19c. as "revolution and insurrection;" 1977 as "spouse abuse, violence in the home."
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the Legislature, or of the executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence. [Article IV, Section 4, U.S. Constitution, 1787]
Old English burg, burh "a dwelling or dwellings within a fortified enclosure," from Proto-Germanic *burgs "hill fort, fortress" (source also of Old Frisian burich "castle, city," Old Norse borg "wall, castle," Old High German burg, buruc "fortified place, citadel," German Burg "castle," Gothic baurgs "city"), which Watkins derives from from PIE root *bhergh- (2) "high," with derivatives referring to hills, hill forts, and fortified elevations.
In German and Old Norse, chiefly as "fortress, castle;" in Gothic, "town, civic community." The meaning shifted in Old English from "fortress," to "fortified town," then simply "town" (16c., especially one possessing municipal organization or sending representatives to Parliament). In some U.S. states (originally Pennsylvania, 1718) often an incorporated town; in Alaska, however, it is the equivalent of a county. As "one of the five administrative divisions of New York City," it dates from the consolidation of 1898; in London, its use dates from the London Government Act of 1899.
The Scottish form is burgh. The Old English dative singular byrig survives in many place names as -bury.
1680s, "foundation beam of a dam, railroad, house, or other structure," from mud + sill. The word entered U.S. political history in a figurative sense in a speech by James M. Hammond (1807-1864) of South Carolina, March 4, 1858, in the U.S. Senate, alluding to the necessary lowest class of society. In the speech he also took the ground that Northern white laborers were slaves in fact, if not in name. The term subsequently was embraced by Northern workers in the pre-Civil War sectional rivalry.
In all social systems there must be a class to do the menial duties, to perform the drudgery of life. This is a class requiring but a low order of intellect and but little skill. Its requisites are vigor, docility, fidelity. Such a class you must have, or you would not have that other class which leads progress, civilization, and refinement. It constitutes the very mud-sill of society and of political government; and you might as well attempt to build a house in the air as to build either the one or the other except on this mud-sill. [Hammond]
1818 as a purely geographical term, "relating to or of the nature of a continent," from continent (n.) + -al (1). In reference to the European mainland (as opposed to Great Britain), recorded from 1760.
Continental breakfast (the kind eaten on the continent as opposed to the kind eaten in Britain) is attested by 1855. As "pertaining to the government and affairs of the 13 revolutionary British American colonies," from 1774; the Continental Congress was so called from 1775.
Continental divide "line across a continent such that the drainage on one side feeds into one ocean or sea and that on the other feeds into a different body of water," was in use by 1865; continental slope "slope between the outer edge of the continental shelf and the ocean floor" is from 1849. Continental shelf "area of shallow sea around a continent, geologically part of the continent" is attested from 1888.
Continental drift "gradual movement of the continents across the earth's surface through geological time" (1925) is a translation of German Kontinentalverschiebung, proposed 1912 by German scientist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930); the theory was not widely accepted until after c. 1950.
mid-12c., "the exercise of authority in vindication of right by assigning reward or punishment;" also "quality of being fair and just; moral soundness and conformity to truth," from Old French justice "justice, legal rights, jurisdiction" (11c.), from Latin iustitia "righteousness, equity," from iustus "upright, just" (see just (adj.)).
Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit. ["The Federalist," No. 51]
Meaning "right order, equity, the rewarding to everyone of that which is his due" in English is from late 14c. The Old French word had widespread senses including also "uprightness, equity, vindication of right, court of justice, judge." To the Greek philosophers (Plato, Aristotle) the notion was of each thing in its proper sphere or serving its proper purpose; inequality of aptitudes and outcomes was implied.
In English c. 1400-1700 sometimes also with a vindictive sense "infliction of punishment, legal vengeance." As a title for a judicial officer, c. 1200. Justice of the peace is attested from early 14c. To do justice to (someone or something) "deal with as is right or fitting" is from 1670s. In the Mercian hymns, Latin iustitia is glossed by Old English rehtwisnisse.
early 14c., "person under control or dominion of another," specifically a government or ruler, from Old French sogit, suget, subget "a subject person or thing" (12c., Modern French sujet), from noun use of Latin subiectus "lying under, below, near bordering on," figuratively "subjected, subdued," past participle of subicere, subiicere "to place under, throw under, bind under; to make subject, subordinate," from sub "under" (from PIE root *upo "under") + combining form of iacere "to throw" (from PIE root *ye- "to throw, impel"). In 14c., sugges, sogetis, subgit, sugette; form re-Latinized in English 16c.
Meaning "person or thing regarded as recipient of action, one that may be acted upon" is recorded from 1590s. Grammatical sense is recorded from 1630s, from Latin subjectum "grammatical subject," noun use of the neuter of the Latin past participle. Likewise some restricted uses in logic and philosophy are borrowed directly from Latin subjectum as "foundation or subject of a proposition," a loan-translation of Aristotle's to hypokeimenon. Meaning "subject matter of an art or science" is attested from 1540s, probably short for subject matter (late 14c.), which is from Medieval Latin subjecta materia, a loan translation of Greek hypokeimene hylē (Aristotle), literally "that which lies beneath."
mid-15c. "of or pertaining to the law," from Old French légal "legal" (14c.) or directly from Latin legalis "pertaining to the law," from lex (genitive legis) "an enactment; a precept, regulation, principle, rule; formal proposition for a law, motion, bill; a contract, arrangement, contrivance." This probably is related to legere "to gather," from PIE root *leg- (1) "to collect, gather," with derivatives meaning "to speak (to 'pick out words')." Perhaps the noun is from the verb on the notion of "a collection of rules," but de Vaan seems to imply that the evolution is the reverse:
The verb legare and its compounds all have a meaning which involves a 'task, assignment,' and can therefore be interpreted as derivatives of lex 'law.' The [Proto-Italic] root noun *leg- 'law' can be interpreted as a 'collection' of rules. Whether the root noun existed already in PIE is uncertain for lack of precise cognates.
Sense of "permitted by law" is from 1640s. Related: Legally. Not etymologically related to law (n.), q.v. The usual Old French form was leial, loial (see leal, loyal). Legal tender "money which the creditor is bound by law to accept" is from 1740 (see tender (n.2)). A legal holiday (1867) is one established by statute or proclamation and during which government business is usually suspended.
severe Puritanical code said to have been enacted mid-17c. at the founding of New Haven and Connecticut colonies, 1781; of uncertain signification, perhaps from the notion of coldness, or from one of the figurative senses in blue (adj.1). Blue was the color adopted by 17c. Scottish Covenanters (in contradistinction to the royal red) and hence the color for a time acquired an association with strictness in morals or religion. Or perhaps connected to bluestocking in the sense of "puritanically plain or mean" (see bluestocking, which is a different application of the same term); the parliament of 1653 was derisively called the bluestocking parliament.
The assertion by some writers of the existence of the blue laws has no other basis than the adoption by the first authorities of the New Haven colony of the Scriptures as their code of law and government, and their strict application of Mosaic principles. [Century Dictionary]
Long, detailed lists of them often are given, but the original reference (in an anonymous history of Connecticut printed in London during the Revolution) says they were so-called by the neighboring colonies, "were never suffered to be printed," and then gives its own long list of them in quotations. The common explanation (dating to 1788) that they were written on blue paper is not now considered valid.
mid-14c., sedicioun, "rebellion, uprising, revolt, factitious commotion in the state; concerted attempt to overthrow civil authority; violent strife between factions, civil or religious disorder, riot; rebelliousness against authority," from Old French sedicion (14c., Modern French sédition) and directly from Latin seditionem (nominative seditio) "civil disorder, dissension, strife; rebellion, mutiny," literally "a going apart, separation." This is from sed- "without, apart, aside" (see se-) + itio "a going," from ire "to go" (from PIE root *ei- "to go").
In early use, 'factious with tumult, turbulent' (J.); now chiefly, engaged in promoting disaffection or inciting to revolt against constituted authority [OED]
The meaning "conduct or language inciting to rebellion against a lawful government" is attested by 1838. Less serious than treason, as wanting an overt act.
But it is not essential to the offense of sedition that it threaten the very existence of the state or its authority in its entire extent. Thus, there are seditious assemblies, seditious libels, etc., as well as direct and indirect threats and acts amounting to sedition — all of which are punishable as misdemeanors by fine and imprisonment. [Century Dictionary]
Latin seditio was glossed in Old English by unsib, folcslite.

Ottawa city manager announces retirement just days before LRT report released
Ottawa city manager Steve Kanellakos has announced he is leaving his role, effective immediately.
In a letter released Monday, Kanellakos said he informed Mayor Mark Sutcliffe of his decision.
"I'm sure there will be speculation about the reasons for my departure at this time. This decision is mine and mine alone. No one asked me to leave. I've always deeply believed in leadership accountability. As City Manager, I am ultimately accountable for the performance of the organization. I have always deeply believed that my role is to have your backs and that it is my duty to accept ultimate responsibility for our performance," he wrote.
The announcement comes just after an in-camera meeting of the new city council discussing legal updates regarding the light rail transit system. It also comes two days before the final report from the public inquiry into Stage 1 of LRT is released. The inquiry looked at the issues that plagued the line and the municipal decisions that led to its launch.
Kanellakos referenced the LRT report in his departure message, saying he suspects it will be critical of the city.
"On Wednesday, November 30th, the LRT Public Inquiry Commission report will be released publicly. I don't know what the report findings or recommendations will be as we will not receive an advance copy. I do believe, based on the line of questioning and approach taken by the Commission, that the report will be critical of the City of Ottawa and City staff. Despite this, I know that City staff did their best under very difficult circumstances to ensure that the Light Rail System would meet all of our expectations," he said.
"It is my belief, that this is the time to do the right thing and allow the organization to find a new leader who can deal with implementing the recommendations from the Inquiry unfettered from the long complex history of the project or the findings of the Commission report."
Kanellakos has been the city manager of the City of Ottawa since 2016. He also served as deputy city manager of operations, and general manager of community and protective services for the city. He also briefly served as city manager for the City of Vaughan in 2015 before becoming Ottawa's city manager. Prior to his roles within the City of Ottawa, Kanellakos was director of the Gloucester Police Service in the early 1990s and later became Director General of the Ottawa-Carleton Regional Police Service in the years before amalgamation.
During his tenure as city manager, he oversaw the city's response to major environmental disasters, including flooding in 2017 and 2019, the 2018 tornadoes and the 2022 derecho. He was the city manager during the "Freedom Convoy" demonstration, Canada 150 celebrations in Ottawa, and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. He also oversaw the launch of the LRT.
In early 2020, Kanellakos challenged councillors to fire him if they believed the city had not handled the situation properly.
"I am ultimately accountable," Kanellakos said. "Look at the org chart and you'll see my face on it. I'm accountable to Council; I'm your only employee. If you do believe that we have not done everything possible to improve this system and make this better, move a motion at the next Council to dismiss your city manager."
No motion to remove him ever came.
The city manager is the city's chief administrator, and oversees the city's multi-billion dollar operating budget. In 2021, Kanellakos earned a salary of more than $370,000.
In an email to councillors Monday thanking Kanellakos for his contributions to the city, Sutcliffe said he would move a motion at city council on Wednesday to appoint the city's chief financial officer Wendy Stephanson as acting city manager.
"I would like to thank Wendy for agreeing to take on the role of Acting City Manager and I look forward to working with her and our senior leadership team in the days and months ahead," Sutcliffe wrote.

Don't Sweat It
October 22, 2015
The first album of alternative rock band Panic! At The Disco, just recently celebrated it's ten year anniversary on Sep 27, the theme heavy album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, launched the band into world-wide success.
Frontman, Brendon Urie, commemorated by writing a short, but heartfelt letter towards fans on the bands official website. "I've been using Panic! At The Disco as a creative catalyst for over ten years now. That fact seems so bizarre and yet so fitting," Urie said. "Even after ten years, it doesn't seem so far away."
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is an intense reflection of reality, touching on sensitive topics such as prostitution, the sanctity of marriage, alcoholism, mental health, and adultery.
"I feel like they look at the views, and I don't feel like they romanticize them, as much as like, show them to their younger audience that they have," sophomore, Raquel Luna, said. "They don't really embrace it, but more of like 'Yo, this is going on in the world, and you should be aware of it.'"
Despite internal band conflict and loss of multiple members, Urie, along with additional back-up musicians, kept the name of the band relevant and alive, with the official release of two new singles: "Hallelujah" and "Victorious." Another unofficial single was released, "Death Of A Bachelor", and received it's first airplay on bassist of Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz's Beats 1 Radio show.
"I feel like, especially in "Death Of A Bachelor", he was reflecting a lot, like on his life and on his wife, and also the things he's done in the past," senior, Genesya Flores, said. "He's such a personality. He projects himself onto you."
The edginess and personality of Panic! At The Disco has made them completely iconic in the alternative and pop rock music scene. With four albums under their belt and another in the works, this band shows no sign of slowing down and no sign of sweating out their fever.

With the Tampa Bay Lightning trading Adam Erne to the Detroit Red Wings, the team has opened up another one of the 13 roster spots for forwards to competition in training camp. Erne was a second round pick of the Lightning in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. His projection was that of a top six complimentary power winger with size. He's not overly tall at 6'1", but he had a wide frame that promised plenty of weight to allow him to be physical.
Erne produced well as a junior player in the QMJHL. When he made it to the AHL, he played well, but didn't dominate offensively as you'd expect from a player that could turn into a top six forward. His projections eventually slipped and it took him until his waiver exempt status expired after 2017-18 for him to make the NHL full time last season.
With Alex Killorn, Anthony Cirelli, and Mathieu Joseph well situated on the third line, Erne rarely got an opportunity to play anywhere other than the fourth line. He still put up a good season for a fourth liner though, with seven goal and 20 points in 65 games. But the reality was that he was unlikely to get much of an opportunity outside of the fourth line with the Lightning. The Red Wings need some depth and new general manager Steve Yzerman obviously knows what kind of player Erne is. This will be a good opportunity for him to move up the lineup and show what he can be, though the likelihood of him reaching that second line power forward projection now is still low.
Besides giving the Lightning a little bit more salary cap space for finishing up Brayden Point's contract, the trade has also opened up a roster spot for one of the many forward prospects that are pushing for NHL time.
First, let's take a look at where the Lightning's forwards stand at the moment, and then we can look at the candidates for filling in the open slots.
Current Forwards
The top six right now looks like it will consist of Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Ondrej Palat, Tyler Johnson, and Yanni Gourde. How those two lines will be constructed is up for debate, whether Jon Cooper will keep Johnson-Point-Kucherov together or will mix-and-match around to find some other combinations. There's also still an outside chance that Gourde could slide down to the third line with someone else taking up the spot in the top six, but I think out of camp he'll be given an opportunity to produce with the second line.
The third line looks to be Alex Killorn, Anthony Cirelli, and Mathieu Joseph. That trio performed well throughout the season, providing solid defensive play and better-than-average third line offensive production. Keeping them together is important for providing good depth.
The fourth line right now just consists of Cedric Paquette, who will most likely center the line. He could technically move to the left wing side for another center, but you should expect him to still be taking faceoffs even if he's not technically the center of the line as he showed marked improvement in the faceoff dot last season.
With those 10 forwards set, that leaves us with three spots open for competition: two players on the fourth line and an extra forward.
Waiver-Eligible Players
I think it's important to separate players here into two categories. The first is the waiver eligible players: the players that will require waivers to go to the minors after training camp. For some players, this isn't much of an issue. Those are typically older veteran players that are well known and there isn't much of a risk of another team claiming them unless they are desperate.
In most cases, these older players are replaceable, so whether they will get claimed or not shouldn't be much of a consideration in making the team. However, sometimes you get a player that had a breakthrough in the minors but hasn't had to go through waivers since. There is more risk in them being taken, and if they get claimed the team will not receive any compensation for the player, so they're more likely to stay up. For instance, this is exactly what the Lightning did with Danick Martel last season....which brings us to our first player.
Danick Martel
The Case For: Martel spent all of last season on the NHL roster after the Lightning claimed him during training camp from the Philadelphia Flyers. The Lightning were way down the waiver order, so that meant a lot of teams passed on Martel before the Lightning took him. They obviously thought well of him and his potential to make the commitment to carrying him all season.
While he only played in nine games for the Lightning and recorded two assists, he played well whenever he got into the lineup. He's a natural left winger and showed plenty of scoring potential in the minors. He's got speed and is tenacious on and off the puck.
The Case Against: The biggest case against is that he doesn't have much NHL experience with just 14 games total. He also hasn't scored a goal since the 2017-18 AHL playoffs with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. He played in just 14 games last season, with four games in the AHL, but failed to score a goal in any of them. There's also a possibility that he would easily pass through waivers, especially after having played so sparingly last season.
My Prediction: I think Martel makes the team. He might end up being the fourth line left winger, but could just as easily serve as the 13th forward once again this season. He's on a cheap deal paying him the league minimum of $700,000. He's on a two-way contract, though, and would make only $200,000 in the minors with a $250,000 guarantee for the season. I think it will take more than just one of the other bubble players making a huge case for themselves in training camp for Martel to not make the team.
Cory Conacher
The Case For: He's small. He's feisty. He's got NHL experience. He only played one game in the NHL last season for the Lightning at the beginning of the year, but has posted 74 points in 189 games. He can play the left or right side. He can contribute on the penalty kill. While not a high end skill player in the NHL, he's still the type that can be vocal and a leader even in a lesser role.
The Case Against: He's probably just not good enough. Even when the Lightning really needed forward bodies in 2016-17, he only got to play in 11 games. He did play 36 games in 2017-18 for the Lightning and recorded 12 points (which is still plenty good for a bottom six forward). He's also 29 years old and has passed through waivers multiple times over the past few years without being claimed.
My Prediction: Conacher is 50/50 to make it. If some of the "kids" don't cut it in training camp, then he's a safe choice for the 12th or 13th forward. If the kids can beat him out, then he should make it through waivers and continue to be a top contributor and leader for the Syracuse Crunch.
Carter Verhaeghe
The Case For: He had a phenomenal year in the AHL last year, his fourth professional season. He recorded 34 goals and 82 point in 76 games, and won the AHL's point title. He shared the title of the AHL's leading goal scorer with Alex Barré-Boulet. Verhaeghe made it through waivers easily last year as his best AHL season was the year before with just 17 goals and 48 points in 58 games. If the Lightning hadn't been as stacked at forward, or as healthy as they were, he certainly should have gotten a shot in the NHL later in the year.
He's also a center so he provides flexibility on the fourth line next to Paquette, and can replace him if Paquette is injured. Verhaeghe's got good enough size at 6'1" and 181 pounds. He should do fine physically in the NHL.
The Case Against: Verhaeghe is the definition of a late bloomer. There's every possibility that he just really isn't cut out for the NHL. His offense was boosted a lot by power play production, though his even strength production was good. In the NHL, he's not going to have that benefit of playing on the power play to give him some easier offensive opportunities.
He just turned 24, and by the time players get to this age, we usually know what they are. There are, of course, exceptions that really blossom after a long drudge through the minors like Jonathan Marchessault and Yanni Gourde, but there's plenty of players that didn't work out that certainly make those players the rare exception.
My Prediction: I think he makes the team out of training camp. His offensive production is too hard to ignore and the team needs to give him an opportunity to show if he can stick in the NHL. If by early December he's not cutting it, it would be easy enough for the Lightning to waive him and bring up a younger prospect and give them a chance in the lineup to see if they have more to give than Verhaeghe. I hope he's the next Gourde, but we need to see it happen before putting too much faith in him as an NHLer.
Waiver Exempt Players
The Lightning have a number of young prospects with only a couple of professional seasons under their belts. The benefit to them is that the Lightning won't risk losing them by sending them to the minors since they do not require waivers. They're also generally cheap players that help the cap situation.
Mitchell Stephens
The Case For: Stephens was originally drafted in the second round in 2015. When he was drafted, he was billed as Ryan Callahan Lite. He's a right shot forward, and while many thought that he was going to end up as a winger in the professional ranks, he's managed to stick as a center for the Syracuse Crunch. He was an All-Star in the AHL as a rookie in 2017-18 when he put up 19 goals and 41 points in 70 games.
There was also every indication that the team was taking a long, hard look at him coming out of training camp last year. Ultimately, he didn't make the team and there was never much of a need for any forward recalls throughout the season to give him another opportunity. He's a good two-way forward and would provide another responsible presence on the fourth line that can help drive some depth offense. He'd also be a potential asset on the penalty kill and he doesn't take very many penalties with just 30 PIMs in 107 career AHL games.
The Case Against: Stephens dealt with multiple injuries last season that limited him to just 32 games. Is he fully healthy? Is he ready to rumble? Can he jump past a couple of players with higher offensive ceilings than him during training camp?
My Prediction: I'm a fan of Stephens and I would like to see him overtake Paquette for the fourth line center position. But Paquette has two years left on his contract. If Stephens makes it on the team, it will be because of the responsibility he can bring to the fourth line. His lower offensive ceiling, though, does make him more attractive to being a fourth liner as it's less likely to stymie his development whereas some of the other options might do better with more AHL time. So, I hope he makes it, but I won't be surprised if he's back in Syracuse for another season before he makes the jump to the NHL.
Alex Volkov
The Case For: He plays a two hundred foot game and has good size at 6'1" and 192 pounds. He was a bit of a surprise second round selection in 2017, but immediately came to the AHL and started impressing prospect watchers. He's put up back-to-back 23 goal seasons and been in the mid-40s in points for both of his AHL seasons. He's left handed, but has the ability to play both wings.
The Case Against: Volkov didn't grow as much as I'd hoped to see offensively from his rookie season to his sophomore campaign. He played one less game, but scored the same number of goals and had just three more assists. He also takes a pretty good amount of penalties. He put up 63 and 61 PIMs over the past two seasons.
The other thing against him is that he would do better getting to play further up the lineup. Those opportunities could open up more for him in 2020-21. He's got another year until he's waiver eligible, so the Lightning can send him back to the AHL for another year of growth and then hopefully have a third line spot open for him the following year.
My Prediction: Like Stephens, he got a strong look during training camp last season. He's actually been one of the last cuts in the past two training camps. Part of that could be that having him around fellow Russians Nikita Kucherov, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Mikhail Sergachev during training camp was an effort to help him transition faster.
He certainly could make it. He's got the talent and the skill. But I think it's probably best for him to go back to the AHL for another season and continue to develop and be an offensive leader for the Crunch.
Alex Barré-Boulet
The Case For: Did you see his numbers last season? As an AHL rookie, he put up 34 goals and 68 points in 74 games. That's a monster season, especially for a rookie. He also doesn't take many penalties. He only picked up 18 PIMs in those 74 games. He's got the offensive skills and instincts, and he can really do some damage especially if he's given the right partners on the ice, like Verhaeghe. He also shoots the puck a lot with 223 shots on goal last year, which was 6th most in the AHL and most by any rookie.
The Case Against: He's small at 5'10" and 170 pounds. He's still got defensive question marks and often played like a player that was just coming out of juniors. He's also not quite the same as most rookies last year. He was a year older than most players that enter the AHL as he had spent an overage season in the QMJHL while his draft class peers were making their AHL debuts.
But the big red flag is that half of his goals came on the power play. 27 of his 68 points came on the power play overall. In the NHL, he's not likely to be on either of the power play units, and even if he's on the second unit, they don't get much ice time with all of the fire power the Lightning bring to bear on the first unit.
My Prediction: I don't think he makes the team. I would really like to see him repeat his performance in the AHL and improve his even strength points production, show that he can score in both phases of the game, and further work on his defensive game. I know that this has been a bit of a hot button debate on Twitter, but I think going back to Syracuse for another season is the best thing for him, the team, and his development going forward.
My Overall Predictions
I think the last three slots will be filled out by Verhaeghe, Stephens, and Martel. I think Martel makes a fine 13th forward that can slot in when needed. Verhaeghe has earned the chance to show what he can do, and if he can't do it, he could be replaced by Martel, or by one of Volkov or Barré-Boulet if they're tearing up the AHL to start the year. Stephens has the defensive IQ to solidify that fourth line.
With Verhaeghe and Stephens alongside Paquette, you'd have three players that have center experience and can handle faceoffs. You have a playmaker in Verhaeghe that can also shoot, and a couple of diggers in Paquette and Stephens with Stephens having a little better finishing skill than Paquette. While Paquette could drag the line down a little bit, I think Verhaeghe and Stephens would have the opportunity to make it into a good line while Paquette provides the veteran experience for the line.
All of this could change by the time we get to the end of training camp, though. Injuries could propel a player into the lineup and make the Lightning bring a player like Volkov up and give him that bigger role exposure. Performance through training camp and the preseason games will also matter significantly. All six of these players have an opportunity to earn a role on the team, but there's just three spots to give. They should all come into camp hungry and ready to work hard to show what they've got to wear the jersey of the Tampa Bay Lightning for the whole season.

Q: If i file a chapter 11 business can I add a personal promissory note that includes business assets?
Please respond.
A: Your question is not entirely clear. If you file a Chapter 11 for a business, I assume it is either a corporate business of which you own the stock, or a sole proprietorship owned by you. Because of your question, I am assuming it is a corporation. No, a personal debt is not listed in the corporation debts and collection against you individually could still proceed. If assets owned by the corporation secure the debt, the bankruptcy would prevent them from being repossessed or seized, without court approval.

text: Meetings tech is getting more attention than ever before - specifically from investors and C-suite executives. That has fueled rapid-fire innovation, and an influx of tools that promise to improve the meeting experience for planners, participants and stakeholders. M&C's fourth annual round-up of the industry's top innovations is a curated collection of the game-changers that should be on your radar in 2018.1. Chatbots. Until recently, the buzz building around chatbots was mostly to point them out as concrete examples of artificial intelligence in action. But over the past several months, the industry focus on the bots themselves has risen to a fever pitch. Sciensio, a company that specializes in messaging platforms, took home three different awards for its EventBots: the IBTM World Tech Watch Award, as well as top honors in IMEX America's #IMEXPitch and the Society of Independent Show Organizer's Event Innovation Battlefield. EventBots themselves aren't flashy; they are simply virtual assistants through which attendees can communicate using SMS messaging, a web-based interface or the Messenger app. Attendees text straightforward conversational questions to the bot - be they about session schedules, WiFi access, directions or anything else. Think of the bots as software versions of well-informed, conveniently located staff members. Sure, attendees can search an app for answers, but sometimes they just want to ask a simple question. It's what's going on underneath the hood that makes the bots so innovative. While some early implementations of these devices have proven to be of limited use for attendees - it isn't difficult to make a basic bot - the most robust event chatbots can do much more. Sciensio, for example, uses a combination of scripted answers via menu buttons to provide commonly sought information, and artificial intelligence to decipher conversational questions and provide complete, on-point answers. Sciensio's latest EventBots answer questions based on a library of more than 100 topics. Attendees can ask about these topics in 2.3 million different ways and get an accurate answer; and that number could increase by a million, given the AI at work when deciphering the questions. Chatbots like Sciensio's needn't be integrated into an event app. They might even become the event interface of choice, supplanting the app altogether. But to take full advantage of chatbot potential, planners must consider them a primary communication channel from the outset, and ensure all information and updates are provided to the vendor. 2. Performance-ready convention centers. Forget what you know about convention centers and the limitations of cavernous exhibit halls. While those halls have typically been more suited to showrooms than to high-end productions, the curtain has been lifted on new possibilities. Early last fall, San Jose's McEnery Convention Center debuted a $22 million overhaul of its exhibit halls' tech and audiovisual infrastructure. Production manager Tim Foster, armed with decades of tour-production experience from his days with the likes of Neil Young and Jefferson Starship, set about redefining the possibilities of the venue. Foster ripped out the original ceilings to ease production rigging, and outfitted the space with a specially adapted Meyer Sound system, previously unavailable lighting from ETC Lighting and a technology platform that allows for mobile control of individual lights and speakers. The innovations break new ground for exhibit halls and represent the next step in an ongoing trend toward performance-ready ballroom spaces that redefine convention centers and their uses - from California's Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center to Cincinnati's Duke Energy Center. 3. Collaborative tech networks. Planners know all too well how difficult it can be to get the various tech tools in their arsenals to work together. While some meetings-tech companies grow via mergers and acquisitions so that they can offer more complete solutions - and theoretically solve tech-integration challenges - some smaller tech firms are eschewing consolidation in favor of independence and good old-fashioned cooperation. That, in part, is the concept behind the Event Tech Tribe collaborative, a coalition that currently includes six event-tech suppliers: Swoogo, Hubb, Glisser, TRC, InsightXM and EventOPS. "Building everything, trying to be all things to all people - that's not really the future of software in general," says Event Tech Tribe founder Leonora Valvo, who co-founded both Swoogo and InsightXM, and is an adviser and early investor in Glisser."The future is to have really focused, really good products that are API-driven and well connected from a data point of view." What's particularly unique about the Tribe's approach is its balance of independence and collaboration. While each company operates independently, providing a cohesive customer-service front line benefits every supplier in the group. Whether or not it upends the enterprise-software approach to event platforms remains to be seen, but its innovative approach offers customers a marketplace alternative.4. Facial recognition. Having begun as a sci-fi concept, facial recognition has evolved into a practical solution that's nearly ready for prime time. The fact that it's the primary unlocking mechanism for Apple's flagship iPhone X promises to speed up the public's acceptance of the tech and get any kinks worked out in short order. For meetings and events, the technology from biometric software provider Zenus is driving practical uses. Registration vendor Expo Logic used the Zenus-powered facial-recognition engine to print name badges at IMEX America 2017. Attendees' profile photos were used to quickly and securely identify them on arrival. Similarly, the Eventinterface management platform uses facial recognition for check-in, speeding up lines and bolstering security. 5. Voice-activated smart rooms. The hotel room of the future will rely heavily on voice recognition and the "Internet of Things," based on plans recently unveiled by the major hotel companies. The highly personalized room configurations that will result could have ripple effects across the meeting experience. Hilton's "Connected Room," set to roll out over the course of this year, centralizes room control in the Hilton Honors app. Hotel guests will be able to manipulate room temperature, lighting, television and window coverings via the app. In the future, voice commands and other devices will be added, as will room preferences that can be saved to one's Hilton Honors profile. Although Hilton hasn't confirmed plans for meeting spaces, the expanding web-connected infrastructure makes it easy to imagine a unique login or associated meetings app giving the planner similar control of a meeting room, directly through a smartphone.6. Personalized audio. Trade-show floors and venue ballrooms can be loud and distracting. This is especially noticeable when multiple educational sessions are being presented in the same room - a popular learning format that's rendered nearly worthless when attendees can't hear the presentations amidst the cacophony. Creative solutions are popping up that deliver audio directly to attendees. Last May, at the American Society of Association Executives' inaugural Xperience Design Project in Washington, D.C., the organization implemented an innovative solution from Live Sports Radio. That company, which has nine years of experience in the sports world, provided proprietary headsets to broadcast five simultaneous presentations, each on a different radio channel. The presenters were positioned in different sections of a round stage in the middle of the room, with each addressing a live audience seated in a designated "spoke" area off the wheel of the stage. To tune in to the presentation and tune out other noise, audience members dialed into the broadcast coming from the presenter in their spoke. Clear audio is integral to audience engagement and, depending on the setup, can simultaneously aid in expanding the reach of the presentation. Live Sports Radio has one setup that allows attendees to tune in to one of three simultaneous presentations without changing their seats, thanks to simultaneous video projections and dedicated audio channels for each. 7. Versatile, actionable data management. Data is gold. Planners are beginning to understand just how much of that precious commodity can be gleaned from their events, but few know how to mine and refine it. "This is not an industry that's been using data to make business decisions," observes Nick Fugaro, founder and CEO of data-analytics platform Vivastream. Fugaro, who comes from the digital and data-tech worlds, created Vivastream to change the status quo. "I want to help corporations understand more about their customers based on their behavior and activity at events." Vivastream is a versatile, robust example of new tech that promises to aid planners in the latest gold rush. Nearly every kind of meetings management tech tool now includes some kind of data dashboard - leaving planners with a whole lot of dashboards. Vivastream normalizes the data from a limitless number of disparate sources - registration systems, mobile apps, geolocation tech, Twitter, lead retrieval, etc. - and aggregates and analyzes it. Engagement levels are displayed by business topic, account, attendee and more, and exported directly to Salesforce and marketing automation platforms. Vivastream even generates Trip Reports down to the individual attendee, so organizers can provide activity reports to each and recommend additional resources. Others similarly are trying to help. Data-analytics provider InsightXM recently launched Essentials, a fixed-price tool that provides quick access to analytics and helps planners better understand their attendees. And for planners who want additional insight into data gleaned from an event app, Attendify recently introduced Audiences, providing sophisticated insight into attendee behavior.8. Facilitated crowdsourcing. Getting feedback from attendees - and their buy-in when developing program content - is absolutely essential, particularly in the association world. But it's often the attendees who don't submit session feedback who complain they aren't consulted on program content. A more structured way to crowdsource information and preferences could be the missing link. Shared XP provides a straightforward way of doing just that: Planners can set up an event-collaboration page quickly and easily, and then distribute it via email lists and social media networks. Attendees can assert preferences in terms of anything from event dates, session subjects and keynote topics in advance, or even guide discussion during an event.9. Influencer marketing automation. Influencer marketing is still more an art than a science. It can be a challenge to tap the most appropriate influencers for inclusion at your event, and it's even harder to ensure that their presence and ability to spread the word will be successful. A tool like Snöball facilitates the process. It creates personalized landing pages for speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and other influencers, and in the process launches a new marketing channel for each. Snöball pages help those influencers to promote their brands while simultaneously extending the event's marketing audience. The word-of-mouth marketing platform includes automated email campaigns and social media posts, in addition to monitoring and analytics.10. Automated small-meetings booking. Small meetings make up as much as 80 percent of an organization's meeting volume, but many of those meetings have escaped automated management and booking. By foregoing the time and effort associated with an RFP process, much of the data associated with small meetings just isn't captured. Efforts to corral such bookings have surfaced before, but this year has brought innovation and improvements. Platforms such as Bizly, Groupize, Ivvy and Expedia's MICE booking engine are among those poised to effect real change in how smaller meetings are booked. Stay tuned to mcmag.com for the latest on these and other developments throughout the year.

Tell us a little about yourself and your background?
I grew up a dancer and theatre kid, always into the arts. In grades school, I wrote NSYNC fan-fiction which was my first step into what would become me writing romance. After college, I formed a film company and produced a couple of things, including a feature that I wrote and directed. After that I thought, if I could write a movie, I could totally write a book. My debut book, Trouble Brewing, came out in 2018, and now I'm in an MFA program, always working on the next project.
How do you make time to write?
I have two little kids at home and recently left my job to actually have more time to write while they are at pre-school. Being in school for writing forces me to be more disciplined about it because I have papers to write, but I need to write. It helps clear my head, so I just put aside time to do it. If I don't, I get cranky.
Do you believe in writer's block?
Yes. HAHAHA. For sure.
Tell us a bit about the genre you write and why you love it.
I currently write romance and women's fiction. I love romance because there is always a happy ending. It's a comfort in this wild world to find joy.
How are you publishing your recent book and why?
I am indie publishing a 4 book series this summer because the last few books that my agent had in the submission were all passed on so I figured I have nothing to lose.
Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert? How does this affect your work?
I'm an extroverted introvert, and I've never really thought of how it affects my work. But now that I am, since I have always had jobs that require me to be "on" all the time when I come home I'm very quiet and need my space, which is what writing provides for me. It clears my head of clutter.
What is your favorite motivational phrase?
What's the worse thing to happen? You can fail. So what? Try again.
What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
Run your own race. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Where can readers find you on the World Wide Web?
Do you have an excerpt you'd like to share with us?
I literally wrote this line a few minutes ago and it still has me giggling…
"She was out there crying over you, so I'd say so, you fucking potato."

Upcoming panel to discuss possible constitutional convention
Should Michigan hold a constitutional convention? That question will be the focus of an upcoming panel discussion featuring Chief 14A District Judge Kirk Tabbey and Henry Woolson, founder of the advocacy group Energize Michigan.
The discussion will probe a variety of issues surrounding a 2010 ballot proposal to overhaul state government. A constitutional convention is a gathering of Michigan legislators to write a new constitution or revising an existing constitution.
"On November 2, Michigan voters will be asked to decide whether the state should do away with its current constitution and write a new one," said Dr. Diane Hartmus, associate professor of political science and director of Oakland's Master of Public Administration program.
This discussion will raise awareness and draw attention to a proposal that hasn't received much attention in the media, yet still represents a significant issue for Michigan citizens.
This proposal comes up every 16 years, with the last vote occurring in 1994. The last time Michigan actually held a constitutional convention was 1962; so many current voters in the Oakland community will not have experienced the process before.
"It's a question of considerable importance, with major issues involved for all Michiganders," Dr. Hartmus continued. "This panel will present opposing views on the question, allowing voters to gather information that will inform their vote."
The two panelists will offer opposing viewpoints, with Woolson arguing in favor of holding a state constitutional convention and Tabbey arguing against.
The panel discussion is free to all OU students and community members, and will take place from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 27, in the Oakland Center Oakland Room.
The event is sponsored by Pi Alpha Alpha, the
Master of Public Administration program
and the
Department of Political Science
. Light refreshments will be served.
The question of whether or not Michigan should hold a constitutional convention is the focus of an upcoming panel discussion on Wednesday, Oct. 27.
