In the world of DevOps there are 'known good practices' – aka 'patterns' – and 'known bad practices' – aka 'anti-patterns.' Many of these patterns and anti-patterns have been developed from real world experience, especially by the early adopters of DevOps theory; but many are more feasible in theory than in practice, especially for more recent entrants to the DevOps scene. In this power panel at @DevOpsSummit at 18th Cloud Expo, moderated by DevOps Conference Chair Andi Mann, panelists will dis...

The scene is a new one in Oldham County classrooms this fall – instead of a classroom of students, a room of teachers are gathered together talking about the book they've been reading and what they learned in school this week.
In one such meeting Tuesday at Kenwood Station Elementary, a group of teachers gathered together to discuss "Learning by Doing" by Richard Dufour. The term "collective wisdom" pops up often, as do the terms "check-ups" and "autopsies" in reference to assessing children before they fall too far behind.

Geology and Geomorphology
Physiographic Region
The Platte River basin lies entirely within the Dissected Till Plains of the Central Lowlands physiographic province of Missouri (Fenneman 1938). This area is part of the Glaciated Plains Natural Division (Thom and Wilson 1980)(Figure Ge01). The upland areas range from rolling hills to nearly flat areas. Numerous draws and gullies ensure thorough drainage, but the rate of soil erosion is often high. Upland areas in this region are generally in cultivation. The bottom land areas are usually quite flat and are in cultivation. Flood plains in these areas range from 0.5 to 1.5 miles in width, and due to their flatness, the entire floodplain is frequently inundated.
Geology and Soils
Pennsylvanian age bedrock underlies the Platte River basin. Bedrock within the basin consists primarily of shale beds, limestone, and sandstone (MDNR 1995)(Figure Ge02). In general, progressively older formations are exposed from west to east within the Platte River basin.
The overlying soils within the basin (i.e., glacial till and loess) share their origin from the Pleistocene. Four major ice advances occurred during this time and had profound effects on northwestern Missouri. The first glacial advance, known as the Nebraskan, occurred 1.7 to three million years ago, and it leveled the topography of northern Missouri. Two hundred and fifty thousand years after the retreat of this glacier the final continental glaciation, the Kansan, covered earlier deposits with till as it retreated and further leveled the landscape. The last two ice advances, the Illinoisan and Wisconsinian had no direct physical presence in northwestern Missouri, but a thick layer of windblown silt, called loess, from these two glaciers was added to the deposits of glacial till already present. The ice advances of the Pleistocene were the major factors that deposited and leveled the highly erodible soils that are present in the basin today (Committee on Public Works, 1965). The low gradient, turbid prairie streams that characterize the Platte River basin developed after the last glacier retreated.
Watershed Area
The Platte River basin covers 2,419 square miles (USDA-SCS 1982), of which, 786 square miles (32.5%) are in Iowa and 1,633 square miles (67.5%) are in Missouri. The basin has a long and narrow shape, draining north to south. The basin is about 124 miles long, with a mean width of about 19 miles. The Platte River basin is bordered by the Grand River basin on the eastern side, the Nodaway River basin on the northwestern side, and various minor tributaries of the Missouri River on the southwestern border.
Channel Gradient
Gradient information for fourth order and larger streams within the Platte River basin was obtained from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute topographic maps. Gradient plots for each of these streams are provided in Appendix A (Contact authors for Appendix A information). The Platte River is a low gradient stream, having an average slope of 3.1 feet per mile. The other large streams within the basin (orders six and seven) also have relatively low gradients, ranging from 2.7 feet per mile on the 102 River to 7.8 feet per mile on the Little Third Fork of the Platte River (Appendix A). Smaller order streams (orders four and five) have higher variability in gradients, ranging from 5.4 feet per mile for Castile Creek to 64.8 feet per mile for Pinhook Creek (Appendix A).

When I used to teach spirituality courses, we did an exercise in affirming others. It was a simple activity, yet one of the most effective teaching techniques I ever used.
We arranged the desks in a semi-circle facing a single chair called the "hot seat," which each student took a turn in. In the first part of the exercise, the one in the hot seat was asked to tell the rest of us: "What's good about me?"

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Navy couldn't stop scoring in its last trip to East Carolina because the Pirates couldn't stop the Midshipmen from running.
So naturally, the priority is clear for coach Ruffin McNeill's team: slow their productive ground game.
The Pirates will become bowl eligible for the sixth time since 2006 on Saturday if they defeat a Navy team that administered quite a beating the last time it came to Greenville. The Midshipmen's 76-35 win in 2010 marked the most points allowed by the Pirates at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
The key for East Carolina (5-3) -- as it always is for each of Navy's opponents -- is containing a triple-option offense that routinely produces some of the top rushing totals in the nation.

Glaceon bears a resemblance to several types of animals, much like its pre-evolved form, including a dog, cat and fox. Its fur is a light-blue color, with diamond-shaped patterns on its back, tail, and ears in a darker shade of blue. Glaceon also has diamond-like shapes on its forehead.
Special Abilities
Glaceon have the ability Snow Cloak, which will raise their evasion in hailing weather. Glaceon tend to freeze their fur into protective needles it can fire when endangered.
According to the Pokédex, Glaceon can control their body heat and freeze the air around them to create a diamond-dust flurry.
Glaceon is the evolved form of Eevee. Eevee evolves into Glaceon when leveled up on Route 217 near Ice Rock in Platinum or Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In Pokémon Black and White, this evolution happens when Eevee levels up near the ice-covered rock in Twist Mountain.
In the anime
- Main article: May's Glaceon
There was a statue of Glaceon and Leafeon in the bell tower in the Pokémon movie The Rise of Darkrai. Also, Glaceon and the rest of the evolutions of Eevee made a brief cameo appearance at the beginning of Giratina and the Sky Warrior.
Another Glaceon appeared in All for the Love of Meloetta! under the ownership of Cynthia.
Game Info
Glaceon is a Generation IV Pokémon, first appearing in the Diamond and Pearl games.

Trainers with a Glaceon
Design origins
Like many of the Eeveelutions, Glaceon shares characteristics of foxes, dogs and cats. It is more closely based on an Arctic fox, due to their habitat. However, its large ears are similar to a Fennec fox.
The name Glaceon comes from the Latin word glacies, meaning ice, from which we also get the term glacier, a large, slow-moving mass of ice and snow accumulated over the course of centuries, capable of destroying mountains and reshaping whole continents in its wake.
- Glaceon's Japanese name, Glacia, has the same name of one of the Hoenn Elite Four, Glacia.
- According to the Diamond and Pearl Pokédex, Glaceon and Leafeon's footprints are the same (it may also be related to the fact they both evolve under similar conditions, levelling up near a special rocks). .
- Glaceon has the highest Special attack of non-legendary Ice-type Pokémon.
- Glaceon is tied with Espeon for the highest Special Attack of the Eeveelutions, although Espeon has a higher Speed and Glaceon has a higher Defense.
- Glaceon's highest stat (like Jolteon has Speed, Flareon has Attack, etc.) can be evasiveness, due to its ability, Snow Cloak.
- Despite Aurora Beam being an Ice-type move, Glaceon cannot learn it via levelling up, yet another evolution of Eevee's the water-type Vaporeon can. This could be due to the move's association with other pure water-type like the legendary Suicune.
- Like Umbreon, Glaceon has a type-advantage against its evolutionary counterpart (Espeon and Leafeon respectively). The Dark-type Umbreon is strong against the Psychic-type Espeon and the Ice-type Glaceon is strong against the Grass-type Leafeon.
- Both, Glaceon and Leafeon are weak against Flareon's Fire-type move's.
- However unlike its counterpart Leafeon, Glaceon is weak against only a single of the evolutions of Eevee, while Leafeon (and Vaporeon which is weak against Leafeon and Jolteon) is weak against 2 (the Fire-type Flareon and the Ice-type Glaceon). It shares this trait with Flareon and Espeon (as Jolteon, Umbreon, and Eevee itself posses no weakness against the other Eeveelutions) both of which are weak to only one evolution of Eevee.
- Like Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Umbreon, and Leafeon,Glaceon have a type-advantage against at least one of the Evolutions of Eevee types (Eevee and Espeon being the only ones not to possess a type advantage against any of the Eeveelutions).
- Glaceon bears some appearance and power similarities as Oyuki from Urusei Yatsura series. It also shares the same species with Vanillite as them both being the Fresh Snow Pokémon.

The Coach first appeared in Grand Theft Auto 1, and returned for all of the GTA III Era games. To date, the Coach has appeared in the following games:
- Grand Theft Auto 1
- Grand Theft Auto: London 1969
- Grand Theft Auto III
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Grand Theft Auto Advance
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto IV (beta and TV)
Like the Bus, the Coach is one of the heaviest vehicles in the games, and is also probably the longest, giving it a very wide turning radius. It is reasonably fast for its size, and has decent brakes. It's also highly durable and has a distinctive ability to carry a large number of passengers. Being essentially a charter bus, the Coach features a sleeker design and more spacious interior than the Bus.
GTA 1 and GTA London
In GTA 1, the Coach appears to be a municipal bus and is always silver. Unlike the Coach in future games, this version has no special features and is of no real use. There is, however, a side mission involving the Coach, in which the player must stay above 50mph to stop a bomb from exploding - a reference to the movie Speed.
While never appearing in traffic, the Coach has also been utilized in at least one mission in GTA London 1969 (Mission 19: Phone 2 in Northwest Bow #1) as a means of trapping a targeted passenger and blowing the bus and its passenger up. The game's rendition is no different from the Coach in GTA 1, but is stretched to appear slightly narrower and longer.
GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories
The GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions of the Coach assume a modern design, with a curved front and partially rounded body. Due to its size, the Coach is capable of seating a large number of passengers (up to 8, as seen in the GTA III mission, The Fuzz Ball). The vehicle runs on six wheels, has tinted windows (which do not allow the player to see inside), has two passenger access doors on both sides, and can be sprayed in two-tone color schemes. It appears to be based on an MCI J4500 or a E4500, however the doors have been moved.
GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories
The GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories renditions of the Coach are essentially older versions of the GTA III Coach, similar to 1990s MCI coach models like the 102-B3, with the doors moved. These buses have a more boxy design, with colored stripes running along the sides. Other design aspects of the vehicle are unchanged from its "future" version. The GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories renditions feature slightly higher front bumpers than the GTA San Andreas rendition, a problem likely stemmed from a programming error.
As with the GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions, these other Coaches can still hold a large number of passengers (7 in San Andreas - the bus can be loaded with Grove Street Families members for missions), and may be seen stopping at designated bus stops in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. If you drive a Coach in the locations where can be found, a bit more will commonly spawn. In GTA Vice City, there exists an undocumented bus driver mini-game for the Coach. Stealing the bus and stopping at bus stops will cause passengers to board, awarding the player $5 for each passenger.
GTA Advance
The GTA Advance rendition of the Coach, like the other Coaches, resembles a large, long bus, but visual details of the vehicle are vague due to the game's GTA 1-style top-down angle. It presumably shares the general design of the GTA III/GTA Liberty City Stories Coaches.
Being a bus, the performance of the vehicle is, as expected, very poor, being only faster than the Wong but slower than a Belly, and is only capable of traveling at only one third of that speed when off-road; its reverse speed is equally poor. Its size and weight also makes the vehicle susceptible to toppling, but its value at the crusher is substantially high, at $4,096, at par with the Fire Truck, but still ranked below those of the similarly sized Wong, Belly and SWAT Van.
Beta (GTA IV)
A vehicle similar to the Coach may have been cut from Grand Theft Auto IV before release. A Coach is seen in a commercial about Higgins Helitours on GTA IV's in-game TV programming (immediately after the end of The Serrated Edge) but it is not available to ride or drive in the game. It looks similar to the GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions.
- A vehicle resembling GTA Vice City's Coach can be found in Rockstar North's Manhunt as a wreck.
- The Coach plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- West Coast Talk Radio in GTA San Andreas.
- The Coach is the first vehicle seen in GTA Liberty City Stories. It is unique as it is the only Coach known to feature a grill between the headlights.
- In GTA Vice City Stories, the Coach can sit up to 12 passengers, as doing the "pedestrians follow you" cheat proves when entering the bus.
- When the pedestrians are in a mob outside the bus, they slide through the pedestrians to get in the bus.
- In Vice City Stories, the Coach is not seen on the streets picking up passengers, but in the mission Jive Drive you can see Coaches taking passengers in Little Havana.
- In the mission Kid's A Hero of GTA Advance, the coach Yuka is in has a special golden paint job.
- The coach in GTA I can destroy the other vehicle ( Except another coach or other heavy car ) by bumping or ramming it at very high speed.
- In GTA III era games, the protagonist can, from certain angles, be seen walking back to the passenger section of the coach upon entrance, presumably due to the presence of only one animation for entrance to the vehicle
- In all 3 cities, on any of the larger roads with 4-6 lanes.
- GTA Vice City
- Can be found spawned randomly at any bus stops around the city
- GTA San Andreas
- Can be found parked outside The Welcome Pump bar in Dillimore, Red County. The Coach sometimes does not appear. In the PC version, it's completely missing.
- Car park adjacent to TV station building, Missionary Hill, San Fierro (sometimes locked).
- Can be found on the Tierra Robada section of the Las Venturas Highway.
- Can be found outside Los Santos International Airport.
- Can be found driving on The Strip in Las Venturas.
- Occasionally spawns in the Emerald Isle parking garage.
- Can be found driving around Ocean Docks, Los Santos.
- Occasionally seen driving just north of the San Fierro Bypass (very rare).
- Very rarely seen around Garver Bridge.
- Occasionally seen driving around Verona Beach.
- Rarely seen driving around the boulevard (where is the Ammu-Nation of Market) of Los Santos Conference Center, Verona Beach, Market and part of Temple.
- Very rarely seen driving around the boulevard (where is the Burger Shot of Mulholland) of Temple, Vinewood and a small part of Richman
- Rarely seen around the Playa del Seville
- Very rarely seen around East Beach
- Rarely seen around Flint Intersection
- Occasionally seen driving around in the Rodeo district.
- GTA Liberty City Stories
- Found mostly at southern Staunton Island.
- Found in the coach park in Trenton, Portland.
- GTA Vice City Stories
- Though there are bus stops anywhere in Vice City, Coaches are not seen picking up passengers. The only way to obtain this vehicle is to go to InterGlobal Films. Once Vic gets on the bus, the mission Crash! is activated.

Rated 4 out of 5 by househuntress Cute but............ I only bought one pair of purple legs. Never was intending to use them as table legs more as a halloween decoration. I plan on stuffing them and putting them under a door to simulate, so to speak from the movie. The picture makes them look really great-but they are average. The black shiny shoes are just shiny plastic-hopefully they will last and not start "flaking". Only time will tell. Would not have purchased them online for that price if I saw them in person. Upside-they are a different kind of decoration-and I'm always looking for different. But kind of pricey if you intend on using them as legs-have to buy 2 pairs. Not really worth that price.

An Artist Diploma candidate at the Peabody Conservatory of Baltimore, Brazilian pianist Ronaldo Rolim is described as a musician with a special capability of moving the listener through his interpretations (El Norte, Monterrey, Mexico). Winner of more than 30 prizes in competitions around the globe, Ronaldos latest achievements include the 1st prize at the Bösendorfer International Piano Competition in Tempe, Arizona, and the 2nd prize at the San Marino International Piano Competition in Borgo Maggiore, San Marino.
Ronaldo has performed extensively in his native Brazil, and also in the United States, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy and Austria, having played at prestigious venues both sides of the Atlantic, such as Carnegie Hall (New York), Steinway Hall (London), Theatro Municipal (Rio de Janeiro), Palazzo Chigi Saracini (Siena) and Auditorio San Pedro (Monterrey), among others. He has been a guest soloist of several Brazilian orchestras, including the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra, Minas Gerais Philharmonic Orchestra, São Paulo Radio Orchestra, São Paulo University Orchestra and Campinas Symphony Orchestra; in England, he performed Griegs Piano Concerto with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Owain Arwel Hughes; in the United States he was guest soloist of the Pontiac Symphony and the Peabody Symphony Orchestras, besides having performed Schoenbergs Pierrot Lunaire with the Peabody Camerata, conducted by Gene Young. In 2010, he took part at the Rio de Janeiro edition of the Folle Journée Festival, which paid tribute to the 200th anniversary of Chopins birth.
A passionate chamber musician, Ronaldo frequently collaborates with diverse singers and instrumentalists, among them luminaries like Marina Piccinini, Michael Kannen and Maria Lambros. Alongside violinist Lydia Chernicoff and cellist Andrea Casarrubios, he founded Trio Appassionata, ensemble now completing five years of intense activity throughout the United States, including an Artistic Residency presented by Chamber Music Sedona in 2012.
Ronaldos music has had a substantial presence in programs of radio and TV in Brazil, with broadcast of several performances (including live recitals for Rádio Mec, Brazils Classical Music public radio), and participation in projects such as Brasil Piano Solo (a series of recitals dedicated exclusively to Brazilian Music, presented by the TV Cultura Channel of São Paulo) and the documentary Magda Tagliaferro: The World Inside a Piano, in which Ronaldo performs music by Scriabin.
Born in 1986 in Votorantim, Brazil, Ronaldo Rolim started his musical studies with his mother, Miriam Correa, having given his first public performance at the age of four. In 1998 he transferred to São Paulo, where he was admitted into the Magda Tagliaferro School, having studied with professors Zilda Candida dos Santos and Armando Fava Filho. At the age of eighteen, after winning the Nelson Freire and the Magda Tagliaferro Piano Competitions, he moved to the USA to study with pianist Flavio Varani at Oakland University (Michigan). In the meantime, he was awarded Outstanding Student in Piano Performance by Oakland University and by the Detroit Mu Phi Epsilon Association, having performed several concerts and recitals in the area. In 2007, Ronaldo was admitted into the Peabody Conservatory, where he completed his Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees as a student of Benjamin Pasternack, who remains his professor and mentor to this day. Among his most significant accomplishments at Peabody so far Ronaldo received the Pauline Favin Memorial Award in Piano, the 1st prize at the Harrison Winter Piano Concerto Competition, the Douglas and Hilda Goodwin Scholarship for Chamber Music and the 2012 Presser Award.

When growing up in Kagera region, in north-western Tanzania, there used to be only one known person with albinism in the whole district.
He used to pass near our house on his way to and from work. We used to wait for him in the evenings when he returned from work and would chant, "Omwera, omwera!" literally meaning, white person, a terminology used to refer to albinos in our area.
In a feat of anger, the man would hurl stones at us.
At some point, we didn't see him for more than a month and we were told he had disappeared mysteriously. None of us bothered to find out what had happened to him, neither did his friends whom he used to go to work with. They took the news of his disappearance lightly.
At school, I used to be a member of the school drama group and there was an albino character in one of the plays we had to perform on Parents' Day. The drama teacher insisted that a classmate who had a strange skin disease play the role, which depicted a bloodthirsty character who would transform himself into a ghost at night and suck people's blood.
But in later years, I came to learn that most children with albinism were kept indoors. Probably that is why people felt there were only a few albinos in the area. But the truth was that most of them were killed after birth because it was considered an abomination if a person with albinism was born in a family. Those who were lucky to survive were always kept indoors so that people would not see them.
Alfred Kapole, an albino activist based in Mwanza, says newborns with albinism were always murdered after birth in most communities along Lake Victoria.
He says in Ukerewe, for example, children with albinism were fed a large quantity of tobacco so they would die because they were considered a curse in the family.
"Some people don't eat with people with albinism. In most cultures, such people would be thrown into the bush," he said.
Even when a person with albinism died, they were buried inside the house under the bed and a funeral and mourning would never be held like when a normal person died. This was influenced by the fact that a person with albinism was always hidden indoors and his family would therefore conceal the news of his death so people would not know an albino ever existed in the family.
After the spate of killings of people with albinism started, especially in West Africa, one school of thought believed that the rise in the attacks was mostly caused by popular Nigerian movies which have a heavy witchcraft content and portray how superstition can help people achieve whatever they yearn for in life, from a wife who bewitches her husband to regain the seemingly diminishing love to a businessperson who visits a witchdoctor to have his business competitor killed so his business could flourish.
Nigerian movies have become all too popular in most parts of the country and telling from the stories people narrate after watching such movies, it seems they end up believing in whatever they see in them.
But Kapole dismisses the argument, basing his stance on the fact that most people with albinism who were reported to have disappeared mysteriously in the 1970s could have been killed by people who believed they could become rich for using or possessing their body parts. And that was before the movies started becoming popular in Tanzania and in any case, very few people then owned TV sets.
"We have always been a superstitious country, with the majority believing that witchcraft can help someone succeed in many things," says Kapole.
In support of Kapole's assertion, The Pew Forum carried out a study in 2010 which interviewed more than 25,000 people in 19 sub-Saharan countries about all aspects on faith and belief and the findings show that 93 per cent of Tanzanians believe in witchcraft despite going to church and mosque regularly.
The study may be the right tool to tell us why in Maasai culture, for example, a child born with albinism was abandoned or thrown into the wilderness or left on someone's doorstep to be trampled upon by cattle.
According to Phitalis Were Masakhwe, in an article published in Pambazuka in 2010, this was because of the belief that an albino child could not take care of cows because of visual impairment.
In popular culture, such as literature and movies, the launch in 2002 of The Da Vinci Code, a film by Dan Brown, together with an increase in the number of groups defending the rights of minority groups, intensified the discussion.
The critics went as far as naming the movie as the most popular film ever to have depicted albinism in a very negative way.
The debate touched on biblical days and the Book of Enoch and its angelic depiction of ark-builder Noah and Jesus in Revelation with white, wooly hair.
One can imagine that it was impracticable for Africa to be depicted differently, considering the fact that it has the highest number of people with albinism and has never received any positive presentation.
However, the negative depiction didn't stop people with albinism in showbiz, such as Michael Bowman, who is a famous American actor, and Connie Chiu, a well considered model, and David Wrench, an electronic musician and sound engineer from Wales, from rising to celebrity.
In Africa, Salif Keita, one of Africa's most recognised Afro-pop singers and songwriters from Mali, ia at the zenith of his successful career and enjoying well deserved recognition.
However, that didn't mean that such movies were not made on the continent and that actors and actresses with albinism were not used in the movies to extend the fallacy about albinism.
Before even the killings of people with albinism escalated in East Africa, influencing the making of movies such as Albino Mgeni, a movie called Albino was produced in 1976. It depicts an African with albinism named Whispering Death who leads terrorist raids against white settlers.
In Tanzania, Keisha is a household name. She has not only been a pop star who won in the Best Female Artiste of the Year category at the Kilimanjaro Tanzania Music Awards in 2009 but her famous song, Usinicheke, meaning don't laugh at me, aims at sensitizing those who felt that people with albinism were not humans.
The song enjoyed a lot of airplay until people started thinking that Keisha was probably the only artiste with albinism. But another equally talented artiste named BabuSinare, a.k.a Albino Fulani, started singing. He has largely been composing music on the rights of people with albinism.
Despite being based in Ohio, in the United States, his music has had a lot of impact, especially in sensitizing people on albino killings.
Music aside, movies with albino themes or characters with albinism are on the rise in Tanzania, especially after the killings took their toll. A number of movies on the theme have been released recently, but Albino Mgeni, which is in three parts, seems to stand out. Although Bongo movies critics seem to be unhappy with its storyline, the fact that a person with albinism is one of the main characters makes it important in this context.
The movie is about an educated young man called Nguvumali who works for an insurance company. He is appointed to lead the company, a position which requires him to move to the headquarters in Dar es Salaam. On his first night in the city, an albino girl knocks on his door looking for help, but it turns out that the girl is a bad person as she pulls out a gun and arrests Nguvumali as soon as she gets inside.
Nguvumali later manages to seize the gun from her, but as he interrogates her, the girl suddenly gets shot and dies. Scared of being arrested for the murder, he single-handedly buries the girl's body in the middle of the night.
More films aimed at sensitizing the people on the rights of people with albinism have been produced and one of the popular ones is White & Black: Crimes of Colour, which has been produced in collaboration with Under the Same Sun, an NGO fighting for the rights of people with albinism. The documentary shows Vicky Ntetema, a BBC radio journalist, who investigates the black market of people with albinism.

Heart Disease: Prevention Myths
Topic Overview
There are lots of things you can do to lower your risk for coronary artery disease. Good habits, such as eating right, getting regular exercise, and not smoking, all work for most people. But many of the things you may hear about really don't work. These include:
- Hormone therapy. Doctors used to think that hormone therapy could lower your risk of getting heart disease. But hormone therapy does not prevent heart disease. So experts no longer recommend this use of hormone therapy.1
- Low-carbohydrate diets. These diets could cause serious medical problems, especially if you have heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the American Heart Association do not recommend these diets.
- High-protein diets. These diets limit healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables. And they don't include essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The American Heart Association does not recommend high-protein diets.
- Vitamin B supplements. Vitamin B and folic acid supplements do not lower the risk of heart disease or stroke. Most doctors recommend that you get B vitamins from a balanced diet.
- Vitamin E supplements. Vitamin E does not lower the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The American Heart Association does not recommend taking vitamin E to reduce your risk. Instead, eat a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts.
You can read more about guidelines for heart-healthy eating that include foods that do lower your risk. Or you can follow tips for starting and staying with a hearty-healthy eating plan in:
It's important to talk with your doctor if you aren't sure about your risk for heart disease and the best ways you can lower it.

While staff development line items wither on many of our budgets, we still know that attending to our team's learning promotes job satisfaction and increases productivity.
In a January 2012 Forbes article, Josh Bersin says that the days of the formalized training programs in big corporate universities are gone. Today, many high performing companies use "formalized informal learning programs" that mix on-the-job learning with coaching and performance support.
Does your organization's training program need some attention? We work with those responsible for staff training (e.g. Executive Directors or Human Resource Directors) to help organize learning programs. Together, we balance learning opportunities from your industry, from internal resources and from ONEplace to provide a comprehensive approach to staff learning.
Whether your program is well-established or more of a thought bubble, I suggest you read Peter Senge and the Learning Organization. It's lengthy, but it provides an excellent summary of Senge's 1990 seminal work, The Fifth Discipline, and offers lessons learned from those who've used it.

People in Jones County who have been told to boil their water since Wednesday no longer need to do so.
The Jones County Regional Water System says their tests show the water supply is free of bacteria after a water main break earlier this week.
The Jones County Regional Water System says some of their customers are experiencing water outages and low water pressure because of the water main break. Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for bacteria to get into the water system.
Officials suggest customers of the Jones County Regional Water System should boil water vigorously for one minute before human consumption, which includes drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, making ice and washing hands. Boiling the water will kill any bacteria that may have gotten into the water. The other option is to use bottled water.
The advisory is in effect until further notice from the Jones County Regional Water System.

An autopsy says an elderly woman died from eleven wounds that were found on the woman's head.
90-year-old Goldie Hall's body was found September 27th, days after a fire was reported at the woman's home and she was nowhere to be found.
Carteret County deputies charged the woman's great-niece, Rhonda Hagan, with her murder.
The autopsy, which was released today, says multiple head injuries caused the woman's death. It says Hall lent money to the suspect's mother and deputies reported that Hagan claimed her great-aunt fell and hit the back of her head in a struggle.
Hagan remains in jail without bond.

Pypar, commonly called Pyp, is a recurring character in the first season. He is played by guest star Josef Altin and debuts in "Lord Snow." Pypar is a steward in the Night's Watch and a friend to Jon Snow.
Pypar was sent to the Wall for refusing to grant sexual favors to a lord at Acorn Hall while working as a singer. The lord accused him of stealing and he was sentenced to the Night's Watch and now serves at Castle Black. Pypar usually lies and tells people that he was arrested for stealing a wheel of cheese to feed his sister, who had not eaten for three days.[1]
Season 1
Pypar, along with Grenn and Rast, is beaten bloody by Jon Snow in the training yard at Castle Black. They later threaten Jon in the armoury, but are encouraged to leave by Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion contrasts Pypar's background as a starving peasant to Jon's privileged upbringing in a warm castle with a master-at-arms eager to teach him in the art of combat. This encourages Jon to start training the others in swordplay, earning their respect.[2]
Pypar and Grenn have become firm friends, with Pypar teasing Grenn about his slow wits. When Samwell joins the recruits and is beaten, Pypar holds Jon back as he attempts to interfere. He goes along with Jon Snow's plan to 'go easy' on the new recruit, annoying their Master-at-Arms Ser Alliser Thorne.[3]
Pypar, Jon and Samwell are assigned to the stewards while Grenn is assigned to the rangers. Jon is upset that he has not gotten his desired appointment to the rangers. Pypar is annoyed by Jon's sense of entitlement and awkwardly tells Jon and Samwell that he was really sent to the Wall when as a singer at a nobleman's hall he refused to grant sexual favors to a noble lord. He didn't want to tell strangers the real reason. Samwell asks Pypar, who has a good singing voice, for a song, but Pypar is too embarrassed by his confession and walks off.[4]
Pypar and Grenn are among the men who witness the arrival of the bodies of Othor and Jafer Flowers to Castle Black.[5] The dead men return as wights and Jon saves the Lord Commander from one of them. He is rewarded with the sword Longclaw and Grenn, Pypar and the others pass the sword around in the dining hall.[6] Grenn, Pypar and Sam ride after Jon when he abandons his post at Castle Black following the death of his father. They convince him to return by reciting their oaths.[7]
Season 2
Pyp remains at Castle Black while his friends are Beyond the Wall on Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's great ranging.[1]

Behind the scenes
Prior to being cast in the role of Gendry, Joe Dempsie had auditioned for Pypar.[8]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Pyp is an actor who wandered the Seven Kingdoms with a troupe of players. He can imitate other people's voices and boasts that he can identify where in Westeros someone has come from just by their accent. He is named to the rangers.
His character in the show seems to mix Pypar the joker, ex-actor, and best friend of Grenn, with another Night Watch recruit only barely mentioned in the show named Dareon. In the show Dareon is in the scene where the recruits get their assignments, he is given the same one as in the book. In the book, Dareon is a very good singer even Maester Aemon praises his voice. He was singing in the hall of Lord Mathis Rowan (rather than Acorn Hall), when he was caught having sex with the lord's daughter. Even though she had asked him to come to her room, was naked when he arrived, and even helped him to climb in the window, when confronted by her father she said it was rape. He had to chose between the Wall and castration. In the book it is ]Dareon who gives the speech about none of this being fair.

Have the latest news articles at your fingertips (literally) with the newspaper manicure. This mani is for everyone from the aspiring journalist to the average manicure-obsessed woman (myself included). Achieve this newsworthy look using the steps below.
What You'll Need:
- Newspaper (I like to use the Style section)
- Scissors
- White or grey nail polish (I used Sally Hansen's White On)
- Small glass rubbing alcohol
- Clear top coat
The How-To:
- Cut out ten small pieces of newspaper (enough to cover your entire nail) and set them aside.
- Paint two coats of white or grey polish on your nails and let dry completely.
- Soak one nail in the rubbing alcohol.
- Place strip of newspaper on nail and hold for 15 seconds, making sure to press the whole nail.
- Remove the newspaper from left to right. Doing this will keep the ink from smudging.
- Repeat for all nails.
- Finally, apply a clear top coat to keep the design in place.

Comments On Oct 01, 2012:The Synergy insoles completed my heated gears ability to keep me warm in the coldest weather. I ride year around and have bought heated gear a piece or two at a time. Now my gear is complete with the addition of the insoles and can't wait for the cold so I can try them out.
