You could Google "postconviction Colorado" and get a list of law firms and attorneys to contact. Ask the lawyers you contact how many postconviction proceedings they have handled and how long they have been representing people in postconviction proceedings. Also ask them how much of their practice is dedicated to postconviction work. The answers to these questions should help you determine whether the lawyers specialize in postconviction work.See question
I have a question about a sentencing hearing for a criminal case and plans to file for an appeals bond. So the judge issues the sentence which, say, includes jail time. After the sentence is pronounced the defense attorney says that he wishes to f...
If your appeal is from county court to district court, a stay of sentence is mandatory under section 16-2-114(6) and Crim. P. 37(f). See In re: People v. Steen, 318 P.3d 487 (Colo. 2014). When the court grants the stay and sets the amount of the bond, the court should give the defendant a time to report to the jail or pay the bond.See question

You may still have a couple of options. First, you may have a claim of ineffective assistance of postconviction counsel that you could assert in a subsequent petition for postconviction relief. Second, if your original petition for postconviction relief was filed within the federal time limitation, you may have federal claims that you can assert in a petition for habeas corpus.
You may also file a motion for early termination of probation.See question

Yes, the court has discretion to terminate probation under section 18-1.3-204(4)(a). I had a case recently in which my client was sentenced to three years of probation for a DWAI and the court terminated his probation after nine months because he had done everything that was required of him. You may want to wait a little bit longer until you file a motion to terminate probation, and you should also try and get the support of your probation officer.See question
I am researching criminal defense attorney's who have experience with filing an appeal. The case has yet to be sentenced. I need to know how long I have to file for an appeal after a conviction. Would like to find someone who has a lot of backgrou...
If your case is in county court, the appeal is to district court, and the deadline to file the appeal is 35 days after sentencing.
If your case is in district court, the appeal is to the court of appeals, and the deadline to file the appeal is 49 days after sentencing.
It is a good idea to retain an appellate attorney prior to sentencing, because you will then have everything set up for the appeal as soon as you are sentenced. An appellate attorney can also assist with making any further record prior to the filing of the appeal.
To find an attorney with experience in criminal appeals, you can use the "Find a Lawyer" search on Avvo and enter the search terms "appeals" or "appellate" and look for someone who has experience in appeals and criminal defense.See question

A petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Crim. P. 35(c) cannot be filed until the direct appeal has concluded. The Court of Appeals has jurisdiction over the case during the appeal, and the petition for postconviction relief is filed in the district court, which does not have jurisdiction during the appeal. One the mandate has issued after the direct appeal, the district court will have jurisdiction over the case and the petition for postconviction relief can then be filed. The deadline to file a petition for postconviction relief challenging a non-class-one felony is three years from the date of the issuance of the mandate.See question
What factors determine whether an offender is sent to jail, or to prison? The severity of the crime, the length of the sentence, space availability, or something else?

I'm 21and my father tried to get me to give him a hand job or a blow job when I was REALLY REALLY REALLY drunk. He was a bit drunk too, but I was considerably more so. He didn't use force, but he did try and convince me with his words and exposed ...
If you report this incident to the police, your father could be charged with attempted incest and indecent exposure.
If convicted of attempted incest, your father could be given an indeterminate sentence in the Department of Corrections where he would have to successfully complete sex offender treatment before being given the opportunity to be released on parole (during which he would have to continue with sex offender treatment and register as a sex offender).
If given probation, the term would also be indeterminate and he would have to attend sex offender treatment and register as a sex offender, and there is a likelihood that his probation would be revoked and he will be given an indeterminate sentence in the Department of Corrections.
If convicted of indecent exposure, which is a misdemeanor under these circumstances, your father could be sentenced to a term of six to eighteen months in jail or given probation during which he would have to complete sex offender treatment and register as a sex offender.
There is a possibility that your father could be convicted of a sex offense for this incident, and the consequences of being convicted of a sex offense in this state are severe. I am not sure whether you would consider these consequences a win.See question
So I have this friend who lives in Arvada Colorado and is 18, who is gay and he met this guy on a chat and dating website. They talked for awhile and then they decided to exchange phone numbers. Well on the online dating website this guy that my f...
Your friend would be guilty of internet exploitation of a child under section 18-5-405.4, C.R.S., a class four felony, if he sent pictures of his intimate parts to a person he knew or believed to be under fifteen years old. He would also be guilty of invasion of privacy for sexual gratification under section 18-3-405.6, C.R.S., a class six felony, if he knowingly observed or took a photograph of the intimate parts of a person under fifteen years of age. He would not be guilty of either offense if he is less than four years older than that person.See question
If so where is the list of both? A link would be most helpful. Thanks

WILLIAMSON – The Williamson Kiwanis Club held the R. T. Price Jr. Outstanding Achievement in Career and Technical Education award ceremony on Monday, May 9 at the Tug Valley Inn.
The ceremony was opened by Kiwanis President Judy Hamrick. Invocation was provided by Kiwanis Treasurer Doyle VanMeter. Following the Invocation, the Pledge and song "America" was led by Kiwanis Secretary, Matthew Gilliam.
Dr. Johnny Branch opened the awards dinner with an explanation of the awards. Branch stated, "R.T. Price, Jr. was concerned the Kiwanis looked to other students who may be excelling and deserving and so one of the most natural places for the Kiwanis to look was in the career technical education," said Kiwanis Member Dr. Johnny Branch.
"We have students completing programs in our schools that give them skills and sometimes skills to enter directly into the workforce, sometimes prepare them for other training beyond high school and some students who are in the career tech programs do go on to traditional college studies. We have students who are presenting in simulated business in school and are learning real world skills and we are very proud to be able to honor them tonight with the R. T. Price, Jr. Award in Recognition of Outstanding Achievement in Career and Technical Education," Branch continued.
Hamrick announced the recipients of the R. T. Price, Jr. award. Three were recognized at the event. Award and recognition was given to Phillip Corey Justice from Belfry High School's Welding and Electrician program, Emily Murphy from Mingo Central's welding program and Glenita Newsome from Tug Valley High School's Health Occupation program.
Those recognized received a plaque and award money. The award money is to be used at the discretion of the winners.
R.T. Price has been a member of Kiwanis for 50 years. Price owned and operated the Price Motor Company in West Williamson for several years.

Every student-athlete wants college coaches to watch them play live, but college coaches don't have much time to see everyone play live so they rely a lot on athletic highlight videos. This is why it's very important for every high school athlete to have an athletic highlight video to help with their recruiting process.
There are a number of companies that create highlight videos for a fee, or you can make a great highlight video yourself following these rules.
- Music – Forget the music! Coaches watch athletic highlight videos to see the athlete in action, the music is a distraction and serves no purpose. The truth is most college coaches mute highlight videos when they watch them.
- Title – Add a title screen (the first 5-10 seconds of your film). Include: Name, position(s), height, graduation year, jersey number, stats, & contact information.
- Length – Highlight videos should be between 3-5 minutes. Do not go over 5 mins! Most college coaches won't watch your highlight video if it exceeds 5 minutes.
- Identify Yourself – Indicate where you are on each play. Use an arrow to point yourself out so coaches can easily follow you.
- Scenes – Each scene should start exactly when the play starts. This is not game film, coaches don't want to watch 20 seconds of dead play before the next play starts.
- Quality – Highlight video should be as high quality as possible. College coaches don't want to squint to find you or see the plays.
The emphasis on athletic highlight video has become more important in recent years. For most sports, a highlight video is an essential first step in the evaluation and recruitment process.
You want your athletic highlight video to help your recruiting process, not hurt it. So stick to these rules and you're well on your way.

The First 3 Steps to Your New Website
Posted by Jun 02, 2014 0 comments
So, you've figured out that you need a new website, eh?
Whether you came to that conclusion on your own, or with the help of our quiz, you've now realized that it's time to give your website a little TLC.
But, where do you start? Do you call a vendor immediately? Do you start on a new design? Do you just delete everything you dislike as fast as you can, in the hopes that no one notices?
And what if you have yet to find the all-important funding in your budget for the aforementioned TLC?
Well, I have good news: the first few things you should do when you're ready to overhaul your website are absolutely free. They take some time, but they're important and they're free
1. Take a look at your stats.
Hopefully you already have Google Analytics set up on your website. (If you don't, get on that ASAP! There are great tutorials online, and once you install the tracking code, you can view reports within 24 hours.)
Stats are useful because they tell you how many users are coming to your site, how users arrive there (search engine, link from another website, social media, etc.), how many web pages they're viewing, how long they're staying on your website, what device they are using to browse your site…and the list goes on.
Having this information makes it possible for you to look for patterns in your traffic. Are you seeing your overall traffic increase or decrease? Where does most of your traffic come from? What are your most popular (and least popular) pages – and why do you think that is? Are your visitors mainly using desktops, tablets, or smart phones to access your website? Have any of these patterns changed over the life of your website?
Sometimes statistics can be a little overwhelming. You have a lot of information and you're not sure what's most important. So figure out the key goal of your website for your organization – do you want your website to help your organization attract new constituents, or do you want it to help you grow a solid following that returns often? Do you want your website to help people share your message with others? Do you want your website to allow people to take action or engage from wherever they are? Once you've decided what is important, find the statistic that gives you the information to reach that goal.
2. Talk to your users.
What do you know about the people who visit your website?
Do you know basic demographic information? What resources do they use, and with what frequency? Have they told you if they like your website, hate your website, or somewhere in between? Have you asked them which tools on your website are most useful, or what additional tools you could provide to help them feel more engaged?
Well, it's time to ask! There are a ton of free survey and polling platforms (like Survey Monkey) that you can use to create a basic survey that will help you figure out the answers to these questions.
To get the right people to take the survey, make sure to only promote it where your website users are likely to look: social media, e-newsletters, on your current website, etc. If you have the time, leave it open for at least 4-6 weeks to allow for a broad polling base.
If you have an opportunity to meet with your users in-person (maybe at an event or by reaching out to locals?), this is a great time to do some initial face-to-face testing.
Sit down with your user at a computer, and ask them to complete some task-oriented objectives on your website ("Where would you go on our website if you wanted to contact us?", "From looking at our website, what do you think our organization does?", "What are some words that come to mind when you look at our website?").
Resist the urge to have a discussion or guide the conversation, and instead simply watch and listen (set up a video/audio recorder and take notes for future reference, if you can!). Do your requests take the user a longer amount of time than you expected? Do they seem confused? If you notice these things, dig deeper with open-ended questions!
And be candid with your request – tell people that you are considering a redesign to your website, and you need their honest feedback to make sure it meets their needs. Your true constituents will care enough about the success of your organization that they will be willing to take time to give you feedback (but don't expect it all to be positive!).
Once you have a good amount of feedback, take time to look at it honestly – don't take every random off-the-wall comment to heart, but do look for patterns to see what's resonating with your users.
3. Turn that info into insights.
Now that you have quantitative statistics from your website and qualitative feedback from your users, you can use that information to figure out your key website audiences.
For each audience segment, you should be able to deduce:
1) who they are
2) what they want from your organization and from your website
3) what your organization can provide them to meet those needs, and
4) what ultimate action you want that user to take.
For example, let's say responses on your survey have demonstrated that parents specifically visit your website to access specific education-related information around the beginning of the school-year. You also know that your organization releases online education-related tools around that time, and your website analytics show that traffic to those pages spikes in August and September. But maybe that specific user group rarely visits your site or engages with your organization otherwise, even though there are a variety of other actions (join, donate, sign a petition, follow your social media, etc.) that you want them to take to increase their engagement…
Ding-ding-ding! That's exactly what you need to know!
If you have this level of information about your users (sometimes called a "use case"), and a specific problem you want to solve, you can build your website with that in mind.
Then, the decisions you make won't be guided by office politics or program hierarchy – they will be guided by the needs of your constituents. Figure out who you're talking to and with what message, and you'll be on the right track for a successful website.
Here's one final important note about audiences: the audiences of your organization as a whole may or may not align perfectly with your website's audiences, since not all audiences use the web equally. And that's ok! Don't waste time tailoring your website to an audience that will never visit it.

FDA Announces Promising Breakthrough New Drug To Fight Common Infection In CKD & Dialysis Patients/
The Hepatitis C Virus is a viral infection that can cause Liver Disease and Liver Failure. Hepatitis C is spread by contact with the blood of an infected person. This virus infection is associated with increased mortality among Chronic Kidney Disease patients especially those who conduct Hemodialysis. Prevalence of the Hepatitis C Virus infection in those on Hemodialysis varies between units. According to Dr. Fabrizio Fabrizi (Maggiore Hospital), however, it is fair to say that, "Hepatitis C Virus infection is still common among Dialysis patients," and "remains frequent in patients receiving Long-Term Dialysis both in developed and less-developed countries."
Recommended Reading: Hepatitis Outbreaks Are A "Continued Risk" For Dialysis Patients Because Of This Missed Step
Yes, the "total time spent on Dialysis" is among the risk factors for the Hepatitis C Virus, according to the National Kidney Foundation. That is why news of the Food And Drug Administration giving the Drug Manufacturer, Merck and Company, Breakthrough Therapy designation to treat chronic Hepatitis C Virus in Dialysis patients is such a big deal.
Recommended Reading: Vaccinations For Chronic Kidney Disease Patients And The Effect On Their Long-Term Health
Although Dialysis units often pride themselves on "strict infection control measures" reports of violated procedures are quite prevalent. The National Kidney Foundation suggested that, "there have been some reports that Hepatitis C has been spread between patients in Hemodialysis units where supplies or equipment may have been shared." Hence, if you are a Hemodialysis patient, especially long-term, you should be sure that your Nephrologists test for the Hepatitis C Virus and know your status.
Recommended Reading: May Be Huge Mistake For Chronic Kidney Disease Patients To Discard Kidneys Labeled "High Risk"
Many Chronic Kidney Disease patients on Dialysis who have hepatitis C have no symptoms and feel "normal." While Hepatitis C is serious for some, causing severe Liver Damage or Liver Failure; others have some liver damage, but do not feel sick from the disease and simply suffer extreme tiredness. What's more, in rare cases Chronic Kidney Disease patients have no long‑term effects whatsoever until it is too late.
Recommended Reading: Ban Lifted On "High Risk" Kidney Donors Will Directly Affect All On Kidney Transplant Waiting List
At present, no vaccine is available for Hepatitis C. Merck and Company's groundbreaking therapy, Grazoprevir/Elbasvir, has demonstrated substantial improvement over existing therapies. Now being expedited to market, this new treatment for the Hepatitis C Virus appears promising to help Chronic Kidney Disease and Dialysis patients improve their quality of lives.
Recommended Reading: Be on the Lookout for Infections During Nocturnal Home HD
In order to prevent the spread of the Hepatitis C Virus, utilize the following preventative steps:
- Do not share toothbrushes, razors or other personal care articles that might have infected blood on them.
- Get vaccinated against Hepatitis B (also attacks Liver).
- Make sure that your Patient Care Technician changes gloves between patients.
- Scan your Dialysis Chair before sitting in it to make sure there is no blood or fluids left behind from previous treatments.
- Check your Dialysis Clinic's Infection Rates (click here). If they are too high, consider changing to a unit with lower Infection Rates.

Phenolic Compounds from Maté (Ilex paraguariensis) Inhibit Adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes

Leaves of Ilex paraguariensis are used to prepare a tea known as maté which is a common beverage in several South American countries. The ethanol extract was fractionated to identify the compounds responsible for the anti-adipogenic activity in 3T3-L1 cells. Extracts of both fresh and dried maté leaves were subjected to column chromatography using molecular permeation to obtain the saponin (20 % yields) and the polyphenol extracts (40 % yields) from the fresh and dried leaves. The phenolic content was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis and the Folin-Ciocalteau method. Also, maté extracts (50 μg/ml to 1,000 μg/ml) did not display citotoxicity using MTT. The polyphenol extract from the dried leaves was the most effective (50 μg/ml) in the inhibition of triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and rutin (100 μg/ml) likely accounted for a large portion of this activity. Additionally, maté extracts had a modulatory effect on the expression of genes related to the adipogenesis as PPARγ2, leptin, TNF-α and C/EBPα.

The best way to discover if someone who takes an interest in your services is a right fit for you is to get them on the phone and explore if you're the right coach for them. Discovery calls truly are the best way to get more clients and build relationships with people who can turn into clients further down the road.
But you've tried getting Discovery Calls and may have run into challenges along the way, causing you to feel frustrated and wonder what you're doing wrong.
This post is designed as the ultimate guide to booking more Discovery Calls with ease. We're going to explore how to promote your services through not only online marketing but also in person at local events.
1. Massive focus on list building.
List building is one of the most important business tools you will have in your marketing arsenal. Approximately 1-3% of your list will buy from you, so the more Potential Clients you have attracted into your list, the more will book Discovery Calls and become clients.
I hear you saying Jess, I know this already. But how do I grow my list?
For starters, get clear on your message and learn how to tell your story in a compelling way.
Everything on your website and in your emails needs to stay focused on who you serve, and how you serve them. The clearer you are on your target market and Ideal Client, the higher the chances are of someone wanting to sign up to your list and book a Discovery Call with you.
Secondly, focus on outreach activities such as guest posting on larger, engaged sites where your Ideal Client frequents. Do free teleclasses where people get access to your online class or call in exchange for their email address.
Take Facebook ads to your free class or webinar. I cover list building in depth in my online course Find Your First Paying Coaching Clients but these tips will get you started.
2. Survey your list and see what they want.
Are you offering services that your audience isn't interested in? Offer what they want versus what you think they want.
There is a huge difference between creating programs that you think will sell versus creating programs you've been told by your Ideal Clients that they actually want.
Survey your list and ask them what they want, and ask Ideal Clients in person or over Skype. Creating packages your Ideal Clients and list have stated is of interest to them will increase your Discovery Sessions and in turn create more clients.
3. Use your existing networks.
Instead of just marketing online, talk to your friends and family about your services and let them know you offer free discovery calls. Be clear and concise about what you do and who would benefit from your services.
Ask if they know anyone who would be interested, and consider giving whoever refers you a commission or discount working with you if that feels right to you.
4. Speaking.
Speaking at local or national events can be an excellent way to book more Discovery Sessions and get more clients. If you are a Health Coach for example, ask your local natural foods store or yoga studio if they ever have speakers talk for free about subjects pertaining to health.
Coaches focusing on helping first time Mums get more rest can enquire at a Mummy Group that meets up if they want to hear a pitch-free talk. If the Mums take your advice and know how to reach you, you'll definately be hearing from Mums who want to benefit from your coaching and want to know more about you.
5. Call it something other than a "discovery session."
Actually naming your Discovery Session something different can increase the amount of people who want to say yes to talking with you. Use your imagination and what would sound like something your Ideal Client would be interested in.
Offer free assessments where you give something of value before speaking about your service. For Health Coaches that help working women have more energy, a Discovery Call could be renamed Free Energy Assessment.
6. Create a private Facebook group and engage with members.
Create an engaged Facebook group community around your niche, where your Ideal Clients can gather to connect, ask questions, and learn more about your services and how you can help them. Connect with the members and offer discovery sessions.
7. Segment your list.
Set up different email sequences depending on how interested they are in your services. Eg if someone is clicking but not booking in for a session, you can email them and ask why they haven't booked a Discovery Call.
Pay attention to who is clicking and opening your emails. Segment based on that. Email people who click more and engage with them, asking if they are interested in a complimentary call with you.
8. Hustle.
Make sure you are focusing on tasks that will result in you booking discovery sessions if that's your goal. Don't do anything else aside from tasks that will help you achieve this. Stay focused and spend time every day to growing your email list and asking anyone who may be interested to sign up for a free call.
9. Create a funnel.
Create a free video series, workbook, webinar, audio etc and then take people through an email sequence educating them on your coaching, story etc and then at the end, encourage them to book a discovery session with you.
10. Referrals.
Create a referral program or affiliate program, and make your program well known to current and past clients and peers. Have them help you spread the word about not only your services but your free calls, which will be an incentive for those who are sent your way to get to know you better.
11. Offer a bonus on colleague programs.
I've had guest experts on Find Your First Paying Coaching Clients and The Next It Girl Coach offer bonuses to participants, and each time the expert has found clients from the experience as well as gotten exposure. You could offer a free session or call, or perhaps a discount to a joint venture partner's list.
With love,
If you feel overwhelmed, remember that clarity is key. Print or save this resource guide for reference and to come back to later, and make sure to check out my newest training on getting clients!

With no fullback position in the Mike Leach's Air Raid offense, Byers said he "figured" after the coaching change that his future would be on defense.
And when Byers and fellow running backs Eric Oertel and Kyle Lappano were called to a meeting with the new defensive coaching staff last winter, the 6-2, 232-pound third-year sophomore said he knew he was headed to linebacker.
Byers actually came to WSU as a linebacker in 2009, but made the switch to fullback early on and saw immediate playing time there as a true freshman.
Linebackers coach Jeff Choate said Byers had to "reprogram" himself to his new position.
"I mainly had to just how learn to read a play again and how to get off blocks," Byers said. "My job before was to stick people, now it's to get off them."
Byers, who is majoring in mechanical engineering, figured it out quickly. Choate told CF.C in recent days that Byers could even be on the field for the first defensive snap Thursday at Brigham Young.
"I call him, 'Ol Reliable,'" Choate said. "He's someone who is really hard to keep off the field."
SIMILAR TO A baseball manager who might bring a right-handed bat off the bench against a left-handed specialist, Choate always is looking to exploit advantages. At Boise State, Choate said the coaches were not afraid to change personnel each down. It is a philosophy he continues to embrace.
That means, said Choate, looking at a player through his strengths. A right-handed bench player in baseball might struggle against pitchers who throw with the same hand, but be valuable as a lefty and Choate said linebackers are the same way. While Byers struggles in pass coverage at times, Choate said "he's stout against the run."
"When I see Jared, I think it's a game of matchups. If I know there's a high probability of a run, why wouldn't I want to use (him)?"
IN A SENSE, BYERS HAS been a situational player throughout his career -- without complaint. After the move to fullback in October 2009, he started against Arizona and Oregon State that season.
"I definitely didn't expect to play that year," he said. "I was grateful to be out there."
And Wulff said Byers' performance in the Notre Dame loss in 2009 was a sign of things to come.
"If you go back and watch the film ... he really played well," he said at the time. "You can expect to see him in there. I'm very excited about that young guy."
Even though fullback was not a staple of Wulff's offense -- he generally started three wide receivers -- Byers took the first snap in 2010 against Oklahoma State. His season also ended that day when he tore the medial-collateral ligament in his left knee. Byers is reticent to discuss the injury other than to say his knee is "alright."
He said the year away from football was challenging, but this would be Byers' final year of eligibility had the injury not occurred. Choate is glad that is not the case simply because he enjoys coaching him so much.
"He loves football," he said. "I love coaching guys who love football. And I love Jared Byers."
For Byers and his teammates, they would love to advance the Cougars to a bowl for the first time since 2003. That quest now is just days away.
"We're feeling good," Byers said. "I feel like we have improved as a team. Everyone has worked hard during the summer. Everyone is excited to go down to Provo and show the progress we made. We're ready to get going."

Yesterday evening my neighbour knocked at the door asking to use the phone to contact the police. Her 10 year old daughter had been walking home from the shops with her classmate, and being kids they took a forbidden shortcut down an alleyway. For some reason, perhaps because they knew they were doing something they'd been told not to, the girls took fright when they saw a man dressed in black with his cap pulled down obscuring his face. The girls ran away from this man who pursued them and shouted after them to 'get back here'. The girls were pretty shaken up when they arrived home.
As there have been reports locally between parents of the children in this age group that some of the girls have been having strange friend requests and other approaches made to them by adults on social networking sites, and because the man had actually chased the girls we phoned the police central control room to report the incident.
Merseyside police responded brilliantly. They took a detailed report and description over the phone, and whilst that was in progress dispatched a car to the area to see if they could spot anyone. They'd also received a report from another parent concerned the same man may have approached girls of the same age in a park a few minutes away from where the girls were initially chased. A female police officer arrived at the house to talk to my neighbour's child whilst we were still on the phone giving details of the incident. Whilst she was there she spent some time explaining to the little girl the dangers of strangers, reassuring her that she'd done the right thing by running home and calling the police and to listen to her mother in future.
The police often get negative publicity about not responding to low level criminal incidents or being too busy to attend, but very little praise when they get things right. So, thank you to Merseyside Police for responding so quickly and appropriately.

Torch Song Trilogy
Oh what a show! It was only my second time ever watching a play outside of school productions and I dont think I went wrong I wouldve went even if I didnt win those vouchers at Arts 4 Arts Sake. How jealous was I when all of the actors came on stage one by one and performed with the same vigor that athletes show in sports. Cas as Arnold was phenomenal. For me, he defintely stole the show since Act I. The cast of characters were so outrageously funny: Ed, David, Mama Beckoff, Alan, Laurel and the silent and mysterious Murray all help to flush out the emotions of the play and the actors. The singing and music were amazing in its own right, the composers really went all out! You know, I was told once that to put on a great performance meant to perform like you couldnt live without doing it with all of your heart and spirit. In my heart I believe that this cast absolutely pulled that off!

good explanationReplyDelete
really nice but want to add more.ReplyDelete
1) Encapsulation -
-- By applying access specifier (Private,public)
-- By making method access specifier public
-- use the Java Beans Getter/setter method instead of constructor
Idea is to go fort access of variable via method not directly. Which is violation of Oops Rule.Replies

from the Graphics Fairy
I truly can't thank you enough. I was so incredibly touched by all of your comments to my blog post 3 1/2 weeks ago. Some of your sweet, sweet comments brought tears to my eyes. I wanted to email all of you to thank you again and again and the energy just didn't come to me to be able to do it. So I hope you will all accept my heartfelt thanks now. I feel like so many of you are angels in my life.
This time I have good news to share. I have been working and working on sorting out some things that have been hanging over my head for a very long time and, because of this, I am doing better! I'm actually coming off a couple of my medications and still doing very well--doing things I haven't been able to do in a very long time. Perhaps all of your well wishes helped after all!
Some of you long-term readers may remember that I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Well, last weekend my dear Matt took boxes and boxes and boxes of books, articles, papers, and what-all to the dump and recycle center. Now it's all gone and I'm free to be whoever I want to be. I have decided that I never want to work as a psychotherapist again. It's good work and important work and I greatly admire those who can do it. However, I choose not to be one of them. It's hard work. And it's hard on my mind and my body. Now the choice has been finalized--it is no longer possible for me to ever do this work again because I got rid of all of the information I would have needed to be able to be licensed and have a private practice. It's gone. And I'm free.
My future has never looked as bright as it does now. It seems like all possiblities are open to me again and I expect to get strong again. What an exciting prospect!
Heaps of Hugs,

An influx of aggressive demon shrimp is threatening to wipe out native species in British rivers and lakes - and is costing the British economy billions of pounds.
Demon shrimp, which originate from the region around the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, are disrupting the food chain in British waters and experts claim they pose a major bio-hazard.
And safeguarding the country against the problem is contributing to the cost of Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) to the British economy, which is estimated at a total of approximately £1.7 billion a year.
Dr Alex Ford, a marine scientist from the University of Portsmouth, said that some of Britain's native shrimp are in danger of being completely eradicated.
"They are out-eating and out-competing our native shrimps and changing the species dynamic in our rivers and lakes. As soon as one species is depleted it can affect the whole food chain with potentially catastrophic results," he said.
Demon shrimp found their way into British waters accidentally, possibly through ballast water from ships. They kill and eat indigenous breeds and scientists have warned that they may spread diseases.
Dr Ford added: "We are looking at whether these demon shrimp carry 'demon parasites', which could also affect our native species that won't have any immunity.
"There is a very real bio-security threat of spreading disease and parasites in native populations without acquired resistance."
The Environment Agency also considers the shrimp to be a huge problem. Spokesman Tim Johns said that they pose a risk to British ecosystems.
"Invasive shrimps such as this species present a major threat to the ecology of our rivers and lakes and we have a real battle on our hands to control their spread."
The EA is encouraging anglers and water sports fans to help stop the spread of demon shrimp by thoroughly cleaning equipment and clothing after use.Reuse content

If my characters' voices aren't totally distinct from each other, am I a bad writer?
Sometimes I like to start my writing day by reading what famous writers have to say about writing. I find it inspires me. Unfortunately though, I read something about a week ago that has paralyzed me.
Here's what it said, though I'm paraphrasing:
"Every character you write should have a clear and distinct voice from every other character you write...and that's ever been written."
Great. I've written about 3000 drafts of a chapter book, and now I'm convinced that it's all crap. The characters are all girls of the same age from the same place. Am I supposed to give one a Southern accent, and one an urban accent, and one - what? - a speech impediment?
I'm totally blocked by this piece of "wisdom." It sounds completely reasonable, and yet how the heck do you do it? Am I just a horrible writer? Obviously I must be. I can't bring myself to work on my book, or anything else for that matter, because it just seems pointless now.
Does anyone have any tips on creating all "distinct voices"? Is it just word selection? I've heard that writing in dialect is bad, so what's a writer to do? Please help!

The Wonderful World Of Whiskey, In One Boozy Chart
If these whiskeys were shots, this chart from Pop Chart Lab would represent a hell of a night (and hospital bill).
Now available from Pop Chart Lab, the Many Varieties of Whiskey print aims to chart the guiding lights of the whiskey world with the Brooklyn-based company's customary aplomb. It categorizes and distills (forgive the pun) each type of whiskey down into groups, from scotch to bouron to single malt to gut-blasting moonshine.
From there, each type of whiskey is further delineated by style. Scotch whiskey, for example, splits into blended, grain, and single malt varieties. From there, single malt scotch bifurcates into geographical areas: Highland whiskeys, Island whiskeys, Lowland whiskeys, and more. Finally, from there, many of the most popular whiskeys are broken out as a consortium of brands, from undrinkable piss (Crown Royal) to eminently guzzlable (Elijah Craig).
Available as an 18″ x 24″ chart, the Many Varieties Of Whisky also comes as a limited edition wood engraving. The engraved version was inspired by the look of whiskey barrels: It's laser-etched into cherry wood, outfitted with metal cask straps, hung in a handsomely chamfered red oak, and finished off with a piece of real cork in the middle.
The Many Varieties of Whiskey (in both wood and print) are available now at Pop Chart Lab, starting at $23.

I made a choice to abandon learning Vietnamese as a kid. Part of it was me being lazy. I didn't want to spend Saturdays inside another school. Three hours learning about the Vietnamese alphabet can seem like prison when you're six or if you're 12. But another part of it was me wanting to fit in. To stay at home. To watch weekend morning cartoons. To have stuff to talk about during recess come Monday. I made a choice to turn my back on part of my identity. In return, I got to fit in within a multi-ethnic schoolyard in a suburban Ontario neighbourhood circa 1995. Today, that decision would make a majority of Canadians pretty happy.
My mom grew up in the 1970s in Pakistan, at a time when women -- if they studied past high school -- were expected to get married right after college. What my mother did was very different. And the story's best told with this photo of my 25-year-old mom working as a chemist in Pakistan. The only woman among men.
There are only a couple things that are typically Argentinean that my dad taught me about: their love for dulce de leche (a delicious treat I use in baking), their obsession with soccer (although my dad was more of a basketball fan) and their love for meat -- specifically, steak. That's it. That's all I know. A huge chunk of me is missing and I don't know if I'll ever find it.
I am proud to live in a country that celebrates diversity and inclusion. Talented immigrants arrive every year to call Canada home, and these newcomers shape this country's future in important ways. Earlier this year, I wrote about the value of honouring the immigrants that help make Canada better. It was a broad call to acknowledge the social, economic and cultural contribution that thousands of immigrants make to our country.
Stop with the ignorant posts, people. Think about it before you blindly share some meme, or post that's not even accurate. You sound stupid. We share this planet with 7 billion other people -- some estimates suggest that 2.2 billion of them are Muslim. Enough with the "If we went to your country, we'd have to live by your rules." Stop. Muslim is not a country. I'm sorry if pointing out your religious intolerance has offended you, but it was the same type of ignorance and vitriol that eventually caused the slaughter of millions of Jews in the Second World War. Before you're too quick to defend your hate speech, marinate in that for a minute and think about if you want to contribute to that kind of hate.
Not all oral confirmations are created equal. Take Canada's oath of citizenship. A bunch of people are challenging it before an Ontario judge at the moment on the basis that it's neither a meaningful symbol nor a useful tradition, just an absurd and oppressive indignity. It's not a welcome. It's a hazing.
Recently, Jason Kenney has proposed drastic changes to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) -- the program that has allowed many refugees to receive health care. These changes aim to deny access to essential medicines for all refugees and claimants, deny basic healthcare to those deemed to come from a "safe country," and are a poor policy decision.

... then I remembered this subway have outside railway. A Korean student joined us there and we decided to take Maokong Gondola. Maokong can be describe as the place to drink tea and cats.
I used my EasyCard to pay for the tour on gondola. Inside our gondola, we were six people. The gondola stopped at each station (Taipei Zoo South Station => Zhinan Temple => Maokong Station). We got off at Maokong Station where there were food stands. Some of us were ...

By this time our lovely Chinese travel agent, Annie, had been emailing to see if we were OK and had been checking we were booked onto the flight. She advised us to get to the airport early. We sat and waited and then boarded our flight at 5.00pm. ...

There were many interesting and good dishes on the menu and I wanted so much to try them! But I was being good. Hope we will go back there one more time before we leave Taiwan.
Back to the hotel by 8. I was beat! Tonight would be an early night for us. Tomorrow Lucy and Chris will get here and our tour will officially start.

The next day, we took our vouchers to go get breakfast at the nearby Dante coffee shop (some kind of chain). The "Western" food was as usual pretty interesting; I couldn't stomach anything called 'vegetarian squarish danish' (a vegetable sandwich which was neither squarish nor a danish) and settled on a simple piece of thick milk toast.

Killershark, 1/1 means whatever you put on you win plus your stake back. So if i was to put 1 million credits on at 1/1 i would win 1 million credits, plus my 1 million stake back.
stated as 1.00 does not imply that, a bet at 1.00 on sky bet would only get your stake back, 2/1 is what you are saying to double your money, 2.00 in decimal terms, and I bet all the time with Sky Bet looking at odds in decimal.
This match could go ether way, I would never bet on it tho, by doing so I would have to at least break one of my golden rules when betting on football.
Rule No.1: NEVER bet against Man Utd, ether bet on Utd to win or don't bet on them at all.
Rule No.2: NEVER bet against Barcelona, ether bet on Barca to win or don't bet on them at all.
From a Champions League final perspective, dam this worked out well for Fifa and at Wembley, guaranteed sell out and high as possible world wide viewing, they could of not hand picked 2 teams this season give them a bigger Champions League final. Not sure if some of you guys form the US full understand this but this game is the biggest Club Level draw right now in world football, its huge and I seriously mean HUGE.
In MMA terms this is Overeem vs Velasquez in the future sense after the best case scenario of Overeem winning the GP with 1st round KO's over all of his opponents and after Cain defending the title in dominant fashion with an impressive finish against JDS, even then, Overeem vs Velasquez would shiver in the shadow of this dream set up for the Champions League Final.
You have to be predicting record world viewings of this game, I don't know anyone who is going to miss this game, does not matter who you support if your a football fan then you have to watch this game, its the law if not then you don't like football.
From a skill level perspective the World Cup could never dream of putting on a show displaying this level of talent, both Utd and Barca are working on a level that no National Team could even begin to match, Spain won the World fairly easily last year simply because that is is 90% Barcelona, only this Barcelona team has Messi there No.1 star player and is as a result a significant about stronger than Spain who won the world cup, if given the chance Utd would smash any National side also only they don't have the consistent nationality basis within there side to put the majority of there players into one national team.

No more traffic jams at least, and also faster.
I don't want one flying over MY house, thanks.Cars on a well defined road are a big enough menace without bringing the menace onto my roof.Much more expensive for fuel , too.Possibly attractive if they were controlled automatically - but traffic density and average speeds on roads would be much better with totally automatic control, in any case. Takes the dozy human operator out of the equation.
Can there really be any doubt about the inefficiency of keeping objects suspended in the air, using reaction / wings - fixed or rotating compared with a car waiting with its handbrake on then moving when it needs to?
They even replace the oil after every flight, on military aircraft, I believe!
The whole thing about personal 'air cars' smacks too much of early Science fiction films
If you think an extra dimension would help, then let's have a lot more fly-overs and underpasses.
I just couldn't trust Joe public in the air space above my head. At least I can choose to walk on the pavement and avoid road traffic.
is not difficult we must defeat the gravity sistem
If I stand up, I am defeating gravity- that's obvious.An aeroplane is another way of doing it too - but it is neither a new idea nor practical for my rooftop. So far, all ways of lifting an air vehicle depend on 'reaction' - pushing air down or backwards to provide lift.You, also, seem to reject that as an idea (reasonably enough) so what technology did you have in mind? It would be 'nice' if it could be done but how?Without some reasonable Science or Technology it becomes Magic.
Here we go again with "Magic" i repeating my self? i am just telling one of the ways
The thought of driver-less systems is just as scary though - totally at the mercy of technology; not a very happy thought for me at all...
So you would never fly in an Airbus A320
If you put it like that George…….I can't argue with you. []It's ALL scary LOL. - Perhaps a little of my control-freak-ishness is shining through here but despite all the logic I'm actually less comfortable if all human control is dropped. Machines/systems are overall statistically probably less error prone than humans but there is something inherently more satisfying if in the end one can blame a human rather than a machine. I don't know…. perhaps all my warped thinking is coloured by too many silly sci-fi thrillers (the machines take over a la terminator, matrix etc) or I'm simply an even bigger control freak than I assumed so far. []
This is very true - but there is a point when the complexity and cost of a safe system would become so high that corners would (literally, perhaps) be cut. Private systems would have to be around £10k and cost tens of pounds a year to maintain. That's the scary bit.
A_s: Why are you a newbie. all of a sudden? Have you been round the clock?
Good traffic control would limit the amount of track needed.
this could be achieved simply by using flying heights from 6 inches to 10 feet above the surface (e.g. as in hovercraft), and these do not carry the same safety implication that flying 30,000 feet above the surface might do.
That would be fine; I could go for some such system but I don't think that was what the original post was about. The spirit of the post was very Buck Rogers and that is a great fun idea. However, your system doesn't give direct routes because it shares space with buildings. It is more like multi lanes, stacked vertically.
I don't think you are taking into consideration, enough, the problem of actually stopping and waiting in any mass airborne system.I have the same problem when in my boat, even. There's no such thing as a handbrake. The anchor is very much not a handbrake and is very often not possible to use and, even when you can, it involves a lot of preparation and faffing around.
A ground-based system is gloriously fail safe. Nothing else is. We make up for this in the present flying environment by making it very exclusive and very expensive.
I've heard of a lot of traffic accidents.
I'm not too sure if I'm seeing the waiting in traffic argument here...I'm envisioning something more along the lines of fixed-wing aircraft with S/VTOL capability than helicopters. Helicopters aren't really ideal for civilian travel (save in cities or areas where their landing pads can be isolated on top of skyscrapers or in the middle of no where (aka Alaska)) due to the immense amount of noise and vertical wind shear that they whip up. I really don't see the need for a pure helicopter/hover system...anything that can at least made to hold a controlled vertical descent or land in <100 feet without destroying the airframe should be fine.
Yes and no. I'm talking about using what makes the most sense where it makes the most sense -- in other words, allowing VTOL in cities/locations, and STOL in rural areas where you can grab yourself 100 feet (or less, as technology develops (namely, airfoil design) to allow for slower approach speeds) of grass, roadway, or anything of the sort. You don't need a runway. You will need a clear bit of land, yes, but that's something to factor into design of the aircraft again.
Do you make it such that the wings fold (such as found in naval aviation), the landing gear powered, and the aircraft able to operate on roads for short distances at slow speeds? Agreed, some folks might want a runway - sometimes it might be needed, but those places may also provide an economical spot for it (small urban areas, etc).
The fixed wing deal is also for maintenance -- fixed wing aircraft can survive longer than rotary winged aircraft (especially their props!).
If you are looking to provide a transportation system for 6 million city dwellers, and half a million in the surrounding rural areas, then the commercial interest will be in supplying those 6 million customers, and the other half million will merely be an add-on.
Another aspect of folding wings is that they generally would have be be fairly short, which mean a high wing loading, which means poor low speed performance (naval aircraft can only be considered as STOL by virtual of using catapults, and very, very, powerful jet engines).
Quote from: another_someone on 23/11/2007 23:46:38If you are looking to provide a transportation system for 6 million city dwellers, and half a million in the surrounding rural areas, then the commercial interest will be in supplying those 6 million customers, and the other half million will merely be an add-on.Agreed, but why would an intracity system (hence necessitating primarily VTOL aircraft manufacturing) be the focus? I'd think that you'd want something that could travel between cities or to/from them...not within them - hence necessitating something that's good for distance travel (and hence allowing a greater focus on STOVL capability than solely VTOL - you'd still need it, don't get me wrong, but it wouldn't be as if you're building a helicopter).
As for the fully managed system - to an extent. That's why you necessitate licensing for all users -- just like with cars -- and put aircraft on manual once they have adequate separate within a particular zone that includes their laid-in destination (keeping them in practice with maneuvering/landing/takeoff). Computers can't beat human judgment on some issues, agreed, so let's not put them in the pilot's seat the whole way.
I'm supposing that it'd be possible to harness the drive motor to the landing gear, though the gears probably wouldn't engage until the aircraft was on the ground (a manual control).
A "parking lot" of sorts would be helpful, but that wouldn't make these cars the personal transport that we're thinking of, right? Ground cars would still be necessary for 100% of all travel done in rural areas.
Had forgotten about aspect ratios for a moment there. However, you could build things such that the wings A) fold aft (after rotating 90 degrees - if you've ever seen a sailplane packed into its trailer, like that, save with that the wings are still attached) and fold upon themselves again (perhaps with a greater section of the wing going forward to balance things out) to keep the aircraft relatively short and able to manage a turn with only a little difficulty. They aren't meant to be ground vehicles, so we shouldn't push them to be -- at least not at the current level of technology (or that designable in the next 20 years or so (I'm assuming that's the idea here anyhow)).
But intercity air transport already exists, and while you may look at expanding it, and making it more flexible, it still more about providing a mass transit system than about applying personal transport. Personal transport is required for end to end journeys, but when you deal with hub to hub journeys, then mass transit systems are more than adequate (i.e. aircraft that carry 50+ people, rather than individuals).
The problem is that if you have a hybrid system, part manual and part computer controlled, do you not have the worst of both worlds - a computer controlled system that tries to integrate a human component.The point about a computer controlled system is that it must have total authority over their environment. If you complain that computers lack judgement, then how are they to judge what a human operator in their midst that is operating in manual mode is going to do?
And bear in mind what has already been said, that car drivers have far lower levels of training than aircraft pilots, and the idea is that if we are to have as many pilots as we presently have drivers, then we have to reduce the training requirements.
It is not the gear box that concerns me but the primary drive shaft delivering power to the wheels - might just be possible with a fixed undercarriage, but are you going to forgo retractable undercarriages?
The term 'parking lot' can have a number of interpretations - your driveway could be regarded as a parking lot, but it depends on whether it can be integrated into the system.Looking at the concept of a crane, if it was sufficiently large, you could have one crane for each block of buildings, and deliver the vehicle into any driveway within that block.
There is another scenario - detachable wings - leave the wings at the airport, and pick them up again on the way out. You could even leave the undercarriage behind, so you have a fairly conventional small car that drives up to a partial airframe, connects up with the wings and undercarriage, and flies off.
Intercity air transport does exist, but it isn't localized in the sense that you'll still need the car. What if your destination is relatively close to the city, but not enough to merit flying straight there? Why not fly there, and then rent the aircar for the rest of 0the voyage - same for flying into the major city. You still save the money, you still get to go more or less directly and fairly swiftly to your destination.
Allow me to reexplain. I'm saying that computers are fine for controlling and I'm saying that humans are sometimes better - the key is to play to their strengths. Computers don't fatigue, humans do. Humans can make rapid and highly situational judgments in wide and varied, computers cannot. Whilst in the airways, computers are a good choice - low amount of variables, easy handling (wind factors can be adjusted for), no fatigue in the system. Whilst landing/taking off/maneuvering to land (after the vehicle has exited the airway), humans are the best choice (judgment). Neither component interferes with the other unless manual control is deemed necessary by the situation (aka emergencies).

I'd like everyone to be trained to at least the minimum for the current sport pilot license, though. It'd be a little harder to train folks, but possible.

Sure, you'd have to get it to align each time, but that could be done.

Tell me what you're saying if I got it wrong.That'd be one heck of a crane, though. And one heck of a hard way to land! Have you ever seen the system that the British built to do that with Harriers? That's some touchy flying.I'm think that, even if you don't use it as the landing system in and of itself, it'd still be more infeasible that landing directly at home. Community airstrips would be good but, as you said, that's a lot of infrastructure. I guess it could be an "as needed" item, however, that would be brought before the township in question.

You could even leave the undercarriage behind, so you have a fairly conventional small car that drives up to a partial airframe, connects up with the wings and undercarriage, and flies off.That'll work. Someone tried that one before - the Hall (or Convair) Aerocar if you want to look it up - though the market wasn't in for it at the time. The only thing you're running into again is having the community airport, which I've discussed above. Sounds good.
You have already suggested that some road transport will be required in the final stage of the journey (because you will not be flying directly into your driveway or rooftop). If I read you correctly, you are now suggesting a 3 level journey - road transport to the point of local flight, then from local flight to intercity flight. This sounds like it will be adding complexity without much benefit.
OK, let's take this all in context.If you're flying into an extremely rural area (think New Hampshire rural with trees everywhere), then yes, you'd have to find an open spot to land in...such as a roadway or an area cleared and hardened for the purpose. Then we'll get into the fact that you still need to drive home, since 'tis impossible to fly there anyhow (or get craned there). Makes sense, no?However, if you're flying into a less rural/somewhat urban area, you probably could land AT home/on a road about fifty meters from your house, depending on what variety of aircar you bought/is available (STOVL).If you're flying intercity, the best bet would be to take said existent transport to within the city and then airtaxi to your destination simply because of economy -- mass transit.
You can't have one system for everything -- it'll have to change depending on the area, which is also what I'm arguing for the navigation systems. Either you or someone else on here stated something before to the effect that regardless of computer precision in flight, it cannot judge things such as the condition of the landing field, etc. What if the engine fails and you need to land out? A human is going to have to do that (unless you can guarantee an airfield with an MLS installed within gliding distance of every airway...which you could do in many places (if it gets mandated by the FAA for all FOBs at some point) - but NOT all, especially in wooded/mountainous areas...in which case your only chance for survival lays with the pilot).
Training...do you have a copy of the FARs (CFRs, whatever you want to call 'em) around? Look in part 61.56a -aka flight reviews (annually, though, not biennials). That's the key. I'm not saying 'tis a cure-all, but it'll knock out bad habits that often lead to accidents/incidents (by the way -- something that you might enjoy: CFR 61.153c, eligibility requirements for an ATP rating: "be of good moral character." That appears for no other rating that I've yet looked at.).Besides this, the absolute minimum training requirement for the sport pilot license is 30 hours of instruction -- that's not that much below what's required for a private license (40 hrs in airplanes)! Looking at the PTS for sport pilot, I'm thinking that 'tis possible to get folks adequately trained. The NTSB hasn't released accident data for sport pilots (nothing since 2002, or so I've found, and sport licenses are a fairly recent development), and there isn't much discussion online about it (AOPA, Flying magazine, Google, etc). Where are you getting your accident data from?Who's going to pay? Those who wish to use the system. Do you have to pay for a driver's license? No, you don't HAVE to...but you do for the convenience. This'll cost more, true, but for a greater convenience. Capitalism! Not that I'm a fan of the system, but that's what we live in (right now).
Either have separable wings (which I can vouch for as being safe...as can every single glider pilot in the world who connects everything properly) or foldup. My vote's with the detachable option. Very much with the detachable option.So, let's see what we have here:Short range fiberglass/carbon fiber composite electrically powered car that can attach to a set of wings/tail assembly as well as a powerplant (which recharges the car batteries when in operation). Aircar is then STOVL capable (or VTOL, depending on starting location (air taxi (I'm going to revive the VTOL concept for them, since they're short range only))), is automatically flown to an airway if need be (determined from a preprogrammed destination) and thereby to the destination area where it is landed, unless the area lacks a MLS in which case the PIC will then assume control and land the aircraft (as would also be done in the event of an emergency outside of an MLS). Car will detach or aircraft will be driven to park (depending on landing location (home or local airfield).How abouts that?
