Xbox One X: Project Scorpio Edition leaks; Check it out
Aug 18, 2017 | 5 Comments
The very first Pinball FX 2 tournament has begun! From now until December 7, log in to the game and attempt to get the highest score possible in the Secrets of the Deep (tournament mode only, obviously).
The winner will receive a Marvel Pinball code.
Honestly, it's kind of a lame prize, but these tournaments should keep the game fresh for quite a while. I just hope they sweeten the pot next time. Daddy needs a new car!

Response from Basildon University Hospital 2 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to post your comments which have been shared with the departmental senior team. The early opening time in the department is proving successful, particularly for patients requiring a fasting test and also those with commitments, eg work, school, etc. who are unable to attend during normal office hours. Thank you once again.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Inflation is a bigger risk in the United States than deflation and the country must do a better job in cleaning up its battered banking industry, a top Federal Reserve official said on Tuesday.
"The odds of deflation are fairly remote. I've always thought that," Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President Thomas Hoenig told Dow Jones Newswires in an interview.
"I think we risk a very serious inflationary problem with new bubbles that could be created," he said, referring to the aggressive doubling of the Fed's balance sheet to confront a credit crisis sparked by the collapse of the U.S. housing sector.
Hoenig, who will be a voter on the Fed's policy-setting committee in 2010, is a long-standing anti-inflation hawk who conspicuously broke ranks with his Fed colleagues earlier this month to voice worry at the ad hoc approach to the crisis.
The Fed is taking part in a Treasury plan to cleanse toxic assets clogging bank balance sheets, but Hoenig, a former bank regulator, voiced concern this just postpones the problem of winding down banks whose bad debts are too serious for them to survive.
"You're assuming that this is generally distributed across all banks and you haven't, in a sense, judged the individual condition of the financial institutions involved," he said. "I'm of the view that we still need to be thinking about an effective resolution process for institutions."

Barack Obama made a speech with substantial campaign-related content at the United Church of Christ's annual synod after the church told its members that no election-related activity would take place. Did Obama lie to his own church, which is now in trouble with the IRS as a result?
IRS Investigating Obama's Church
By Jacqueline L. Salmon
The United Church of Christ, Sen. Barack Obama's spiritual home, is in hot water with the Internal Revenue Service over a speech Obama gave to its national convention last June.
…According to a copy of an IRS letter that the church received Monday, the IRS is launching the inquiry "because reasonable belief exists that the United Church of Christ has engaged in political activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status."
In addition, the IRS letter alleges that "40 Obama volunteers staffed campaign tables outside the center to promote his campaign."

PM touts lower crime, more jobs as year-one achievements
Guardian Senior Reporter
Published: May 06, 2013
Reflecting on his government's first term in office, Prime Minister Perry Christie yesterday touted a decrease in crime and unemployment numbers, but expressed disappointment that the mortgage relief plan has so far failed to help one struggling homeowner.
He said many of the Progressive Liberal Party's (PLP) campaign promises could not be fulfilled in a year, but will be fulfilled by the end of the five-year term.
Christie suggested that many people are critical of his government because they are frustrated by unemployment.
"We've had a very interesting year where we've been able to achieve a lot of the goals that we set out to do, that one doesn't see," he said.
"People are so used to being able to say, 'Well I have a job and therefore I can measure what has happened to me'."
Christie spoke to The Nassau Guardian after a service at Faith United Missionary Baptist Church to celebrate his administration's first year in office.
The one-year anniversary is tomorrow.
Among other things, the PLP said it planned to address crime, education, healthcare, mortgage relief, border control, job creation, gambling, financial services, the cost of electricity, taxes and Grand Bahama's economy during its first year in office.
"With respect to firstly crime, unemployment, we are very aggressively addressing them and we have indicated we have seen improvements in both areas," the prime minister said.
"Statistics show improvements in both areas. We know there is still a lot to do, so we are doubling up our efforts with respect to both crime and unemployment.
"We know that unemployment takes a little time to address."
Statistics released by Commissioner Ellison Greenslade last month show that crime decreased by 13 percent between January 1 and April 14, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
There were 3,492 crimes reported during this period last year compared to 3,025 reported this year.
The rate of unemployment nationally dropped from 14.7 percent to 14 percent nationally, according to the latest labor force survey released by the Department of Statistics in February.
The results of the survey refer to the period October 29 to November 4, 2012.
In the previous Labour Force Survey, released in May 2012 and representing the period April 23 to April 29, 2012, unemployment nationally decreased from 15.9 percent to 14.7 percent.
Ahead of the May 2012 general election, Cat Island, Rum Cay and San Salvador MP Philip Davis said the PLP would create 10,000 jobs in the immediate term.
Yesterday, Christie distanced himself from that comment and said job creation takes time.
He said projects in the pipeline in Grand Bahama, Exuma and Eleuthera are poised to create employment later this year.
"Many people haven't seen it or felt it yet, but we know that during the course of this year it will continue to manifest itself in the form of construction, building new buildings.
"It will manifest in terms of more people going to work."
Last month, Minister of State for Finance Michael Halkitis admitted that the mortgage relief plan, introduced over seven months ago, did not help a single struggling homeowner.
Halkitis conceded that the government would "go back to the drawing board" and come up with a different plan.
Christie said he had a meeting last week with Halkitis about the plan and how many people now qualify for assistance.
"So it's been slow, but it is happening," he said. "Whatever levels of disappointment people are experiencing we have to, as a government, be one, content with the knowledge that we are putting in place policies that will have an impact in the medium term.
"Two, we must continue to execute because it will take at least five years to set the country on a path to where it was before."

Docking Station GuideiPod docking options for the home or office
With a huge share of the portable MP3 player market, Apples iPod has moved beyond the solitary figure sitting at the bus stop to the living space of the home and office. In order to share the love with the rest of your friends, family, or co-workers, youll need some type of docking/speaker system. Consumer Electronics Nets Stephen Schleicher has a run down of some of the popular docking stations on the market.
NOTE: For true audiophile sound, frequency response of a speaker system is critical. The range of human hearing ranges from 20Hz to 20kHz with the lowest note on a bass guitar coming in at 40Hz. It is also important to note that you are playing music from your iPod, and most music is a compressed MP3 file which means you are probably losing out on some of this sound anyway.
iPod Hi-Fi - $349.99
This is the latest docking station direct from Apple. This giant speaker can run off 2 D batteries or AC. Simply place the iPod on the top dock and off you go. The iPod Hi-Fi includes a remote for volume control and track selection. At a whopping 17x6.6x6.9 this is more of a shelf system than a portable boom box. With a frequency response of 53Hz to 16kHz Steve Jobs claims it produces such great sound he is throwing out his expensive audio system.
Klipsch iFi - $400 list $300 street
Depending on where you look, the iFi could easily be the most expensive docking system available. Instead of a single speaker, the iFi includes two wall mountable or self standing RSX-3 satellite speakers and an 8 subwoofer. With a frequency response of 65 Hz to 17 kHz this one is almost on equal footing with the iPod Hi-Fi. But with the ability to move the speakers to your configuration makes this a nice system. Probably one highlight of this system is the RF remote which can control the iFi through walls and floors, meaning you can make adjustments from just about any room in the house.
Bose SoundDock System for iPod or iPod mini $299.99
Bigger than the iPod Hi-Fi (16.0 x 20.0 x 12.0 inches), the Bose SoundDock claims to bring the rich full sound to your iPod collection thanks to the technology that has made Bose famous. Bose designed the SoundDock to expand and enhance music stored on your iPod or iPod mini. A remote is included to control the iPod from across the room and will charge the system while your music plays. Bose if very quite about the technology behind their sound gear, so dont expect to get tech specs from this unit any time soon.
Kensington SX 2000 - $159.99
This is an interesting docking system that was just introduced this year at the Consumer Electronics Show. Like other systems in this guide, the SX 2000 has a speaker that will fill your room with music, but unlike some of the other systems, the speaker on the SX 2000 is really thin. Using NTX Surface Sound technology, the best sound occurs when by sending the signal out of the front and back of the speaker. When placed close to a wall, the sound bounces off and fills the room. Kensington does not provide any frequency response information on this unit except to say ?Produces superior frequency response (better highs and lows) at higher volumes than similar speaker systems.
JBL On Stage Speakers for iPod $129.99
This UFO shaped dock spreads the music throughout the room thanks to its circular shape. Measuring at 7 in diameter and kicking out 6 watts per channel thanks to four Odyssey drivers and computer-optimized equalization, the JBL On Stage claims to provide rich, full-bodied sound with a frequency response between 80Hz 20kHz. The only controls on this dock are the volume controls, which interestingly will remember your last volume setting even if the unit powers down. There is not a remote or controls for changing tracks. The On Stage comes with adapters to fit most iPods, however the unit does not support the iPod Shuffle.
iHome Clock/ Radio for iPod - $99.99
If you like listening to your iPod as you drift off to sleep, but would also like an alarm to wake you up in the morning, check out the iHome Clock/Radio for iPods. Small 2 speakers with a Reson8 sound chamber can produce a sound that you may not expect from a small unit. A programmable sleep timer lets you fall asleep to your favorite playlist, and with the Gradual Wake feature the music gradually increase to ease you into the morning. If, for whatever reason, you dont want to listen to your iPod, there is a built in AM/FM radio built in as well. The iHome Clock/Radio will run off AC or two AA batteries.
Logic3 i-Station Dock and Speaker Station for iPod $84.99
The Logic3 i-Station looks more like a toy than a high quality docking station, but with a frequency response of 100Hz-20khz, most users will find this unit meets their needs. Like most of the docks in this list, the Logic3 chargers your iPod while playing music, and can run off AC or 4 AA batteries. You can even use this docking station to connect to your PC or Mac for transferring music. Weighing in at less than a pound, the i-Station is portable and compact enough to fit anywhere in the house. If you dont have an iPod, the i-Station will also work with other MP3 players, MiniDiscs and CD players.
Kensington 33164 StereoDock Charger and Transmitter $64.99
This Kensington dock is cheaper than its big brother, but unlike the SX 2000, this unit doesnt sport speakers. Instead it transmits tunes to your stereo system. Transmitter type systems can experience interference depending on where you live, or where the unit is placed, but for those on a budget, this may be the best solution.
iPod Universal Dock $39.99
Ive only included eight docking stations in this list, but I would like to offer one that many might not consider. The Universal Dock that you can purchase from the Apple store allows you to connect your iPod to any stereo system that supports RCA inputs. This may be the ultimate solution as you can spend as much or as little on your stereo system to get the sound you like. Throw in a remote for an additional $29.99 and you have a docking station that could compete with just about any other system on this list.

Good film if you don't know anything about what really went on. There are glaringly obvious ommisions from the film, for instance the 1976 GP at Brands Hatch (Ferrari complaining about McLaren outside assistance) and at Monza with alleged fuel problems for McLaren at perhaps not inconsequentially the Ferrari home track. So shame about those glaring ommisions. Would be nice one day if a film telling the whole story came out, even the Senna film is very biased one way. The most realistic was perhaps the film " Grand Prix" which was fiction.....ReplyDelete
Whether his idealism or his doubt is the Cogniflex more convincing, or at least more poetically realized, aspect of his works is salutation to oscillate.

As some of you may have found out already I'm also working with the Missed Apex crew on their podcast from time-to-time, either doing race reviews or dedicated 'Tech Time' shows.
I've embedded the latest version of the podcast below and will update this a frequently as I appear. However, please head over to Itunes if you want it to appear in your player when episodes are available. The show is great to work on and has a great lineup of 'regulars' but has also enticed some bigger names recently too, with Will Buxton and Bradley Philpot on shows during the summer break.

Madonna Pays Tribute to David Bowie Live in Concert at 'Rebel Heart Tour' Stop in Houston
Subscribe to PopCrush on
The impact of David Bowie's artistic legacy truly cannot be stressed enough.
In the past few days, we've seen an incredible outpouring of love for the late icon from dozens of pop stars who count Bowie as a major inspiration for their own artistry, including the Queen of Pop herself: Madonna.
After penning a heartfelt tribute to Bowie on her Facebook and posting several tribute photos on Instagram, the Rebel Heart superstar opted to show her appreciation for Bowie's contributions by launching into a live cover of "Rebel Rebel" during the Houston stop of her Rebel Heart Tour last night (January 12).
"I want to pay tribute to a man who inspired my career…he was one of the geniuses in the music industry, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of the 20th century and he changed my life when I went to see him in concert in Detroit," she explained to the crowd. "He showed me it was okay to be different. And he's the first Rebel Heart that I laid eyes on, so I think we should just get this party started!"
Backed by photos of Bowie on the stage screens, Madge then tore into the 1974 classic — a fitting choice for the theme of the tour, no doubt — thrashing all over the stage as the crowd enthusiastically sang along.
After the show, Madonna posted some powerful photos of her performance on Instagram. "Paying Tribute to My Favorite Rebel! In Houston‼ Thank you!……….David Bowie," she wrote.
Icon recognizing icon. Bowie forever.
Rebel Rebel You tore your dress…………..Rebel Rebel how could they know?? ❤#rebelheartour

ok might be a stupid question but do guys prefer a bikini or a one piece swim suit? I feel pretty self-conscious about wearing a bikini but I want to at the same time... but I don't want to look like I think my body's great...ah!
Most Helpful Guy
Most guys will definitely say bikini, but that's simply because it has lower cloth-to-skin ratio. (MOST guys, not all) I think when choosing a swimsuit and in fact any piece of clothing you choose something that's beautiful and suits you, not something that's "hot," which is really just shorter word for sexual, or even "sexy," cause I doubt your going to the beach to have sex. I know a girl who wears a one piece with shorts when she goes swimming because she believes modern swimwear is immodest. I not only respect her for that, I still believe she is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen.
Sorry, that was much longer than I meant it to be... Shorter version, I'd say one piece because you'll still look beautiful and guys will spend more time looking at your face.87|10|1

There is a dialogue in 'Auto Nagar Surya' that captured the attention of everyone when it is heard in trailers. 'Naadhi motor caste, manishi baruvuni baadhani mosukelle motor caste', is how it goes. But this dialogue is finally trimmed out from the movie. Some say it is removed by director, some say Censor Board asked to cut it. Here is a pep talk about what people are saying about this.
In everyday life, we're seeing the influence of caste umpteen times. Politicians get MLA tickets and winning horses get Minister Seats only because of their castes. Some film directors and heroes get chances solely because of their caste but not due to their content. If you want bank loan, you have to get your caste certificate to claim reservation. For a college seat, government job, party membership and many more, where not we are seeing caste?
But still Censor Board asks to chop the dialogues and references related to 'caste' on silver screen. Why? When caste is so integral part of society and they want to curb it, first they should remove the caste column from admission forms but not muting dialogues related to them. When politicians can give promises basing on castes, why couldn't characters on silver screen yell the same? What do you say folks? Why is caste an issue for movies?

Each of these Baltic Ivy Cup and Saucer sets was made by Blue Ridge, Southern Potteries sometime before 1957. Two large five-lobed ivy leaves in deep forest green, with a smaller light chartreuse leaf in between perch on a sweeping brown vine. The hand painted design nearly surrounds the cup and runs along one side of the saucer. These hand painted pieces are treasures of American Dinnerware from a bygone era.
Each pottery cup measures 2-inches tall and 3-5/8 inches in diameter, and the saucers are 6-1/4 inches in diameter.
There are no marks on the cups and saucers. I have seen a matching dinner plate that carries the Blue Ridge Backstamp.
There is minor wear, and a few of the leaves show surface scratches.

Double degree graduate balances 24 jobs
Double degree graduate balances 24 jobs
Most students don't leave university with a six-page CV.
But most students haven't worked more than 24 part-time jobs while also completing a double degree over four years.
Olena Khytko is graduating this week from Victoria University of Wellington with a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Economics. She admits she hasn't had a normal student lifestyle but says she wouldn't change a thing about her study years.
Olena learnt about the different work roles through Student Job Search, and was able to be employed in a wide variety of sectors including hospitality, administration and research.
"The amount of work experience I have gained throughout my studies means I have a job straight out of university and I don't have a student loan."
After graduation, Olena will be moving to San Diego to continue working as a legal assistant for BIS2, a visual software company. After she is admitted to the bar, she will join their legal department and take up a graduate role as legal counsel.
Olena's advice to students is to take advantage of every opportunity being offered.
"I don't feel like I have missed out on any aspects of student life. I always managed to make time for all my other interests."
Not only did Olena do paid work, she also volunteered for specialised animal rescue. This included helping out in Christchurch after the February 2011 earthquake.
Olena's future ambitions include
working across all aspects of the law, before possibly
joining the police, which is something she has always wanted
to do. Her ultimate dream is to become Police

-had my rear wheel bearings replaced by a local shop. I get to work the next day with smoke pouring out of my rear drums, the shoes were adjusted too far out. Also, they left my drivers side lateral link loose (I had to tighten), and 3 bolts on the rear differential loose, because they put in new axles too.
Thats not even all of them.
It's very frustrating. It's always awkward going back to tell them the mistakes. I honestly get paranoid when having people work on my car now. I try to do as much DIY as I can, but I just don't always have the right tools.
end rant/
If we screw something up here we have to pay to fix it. One guy here didn't check the lug nuts on a car and let it roll out the shop. So he's out 2000.00 because if came off the car and destroyed the quarter panel. So I understand the dumb mechanic thing.
You need to find a shop that will stand behind their repairs and tear into them if they are blaming something else.
Usually I'm nice to them until I hear a little bit of BS come out of their mouth then it's on.
I mostly DIY everything on the car because I know it's done right.
Some things I take it to the shop. (wheel bearings) just to get it done, but I'm that f-ing guy that likes to stand there and watch and look over the car meticulously before I leave.

Today I did my first soloing since the release of the new patch. There's been a ton of complaining about battle and how xp has been greatly nerfed. I don't know what you all are accustomed to, however today on my soloing campaign I was doing about 16k xp per hour. I'm not saying this is amazing, but I wouldn't say I was doing WAYYY better prior to the patch.
I am rank 20, and I was fighting enemies that were rank 17-20.

Report Abuse
Are you driving? Do you have 10 days to go round-trip?
Are you interested in cities/small towns/natural environment? Great restaurants? Shopping? Hiking? Museums?
Give us a little more information.
Report Abuse
How many people is a huge group? If the 10 days includes all of the travel time, you will not have very much time to enjoy all of the places. Just the logistics of moving a large group around is time-prohibitive. I would probably suggest picking 1 of them and staying there. DC is the closest to Atlanta and is still a long drive (around 12 hours - 600 miles).
Report Abuse
The only way this trip makes sense is to fly into Buffalo, spend 2 nights in Niagara Falls (Canadian side - you will need your passports), then fly to NYC, spend several days there and then take Amtrak to DC - and finally either fly or train to Atlanta. (Based on your post I assume English is not your first language and don;t know your nationality. If you hold foreign passports you need to determine if you are allowed to enter Canada and then reenter the US.)
If you try to do this by car you will spend almost all of your time on the road and have time to actually see very little.
In New York I think you want to see fireworks - not firecrackers.
This takes place in the harbor - not sure if the Hudson or East river this year - but you can google it. It will be at 9 pm on the night of July 4th. Be aware that the weather is usually very hot and humid and there will be upwards of a million people lining the shore to watch the fireworks. All public transit in and out of the area stops at least 5 hours in advance - so you will have to walk in and out. Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated - but be aware that public toilets are not provided.
For recommendations on hotels you need to provide budgets and tell us how many people you are and how many rooms you will need. This is;t high season n NYC - but prices won;t be rock bottom either. You should be looking now - as in today - to try to find a decent place at a discount.
Report Abuse
16 Hours Atlanta to Niagara Falls (add 4 hours for restroom and multiple meal stops). Halfway points include Cincinnati and Columbus OH - neither is compelling. Nonetheless, I would stop SOMEWHERE on route overnight to break up the drive.
8 hours Niagara falls to NYC (add 2 hours for restroom and meal stop)
5 hours NYC to DC (add 1 hour if stopping)
12 hours Washington DC to Atlanta (add 2-3 hours for stops)
All the above assume no traffic jams, which are likely.
If you still think this is a good idea:
Day 1 - Drive, stay somewhere midway between Atlanta and Niagara Falls
Day 2 - Continue drive to Niagara Falls (the Canada side, I hope. You've driven this far already, it would be a shame not to see the prettier side). Check into Niagara Falls hotel. Crash.
Day 3 - Explore Niagara Falls area for one day. Return to Niagara Falls hotel.
Day 4 - Get an early start on your drive to NYC. Check into NYC hotel after 8 pm. Crash.
Day 5 - Explore NYC
Day 6 - Explore NYC
Day 7 - Check out of NYC hotel stop for lunch somewhere in NJ outside of city. Continue drive to DC, check into DC hotel about 8 pm. Rest.
Day 8 - Explore DC
Day 9 - Explore DC
Day 10 - Check out of DC hotel at crack of dawn, and begin the long slug to Atlanta. arrive Atlanta about 11 pm - midnight.
Hopefully, everyone won't have to work the next day.
Report Abuse
My only advice is to make sure that you are not crossing the border to Niagara Falls Canada on 4th of July weekend. The traffic backups can be brutal. If you can, plan the Niagara Falls part of your trip mid week, when wait times are considerably less than weekends.
I agree with others that this trip would involve alot of driving, with not much time to see the destinations.
Report Abuse
If you follow bardo1's plan, while you are in Niagara Falls, Canada, drive down the road about 15 minutes to Niagara on the Lake. A beautiful little town in Canada's wine country. Not as commercial as downtown Niagara Falls.

Mayor Hodges Names Cradle to K Cabinet Co-Chairs
January 9, 2017 (MINNEAPOLIS) — Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges announced today that she is naming two additional co-chairs to lead her Cradle to K Cabinet initiative. Donna Zimmerman and Mikkel Beckmen will join Carolyn Smallwood, who has served as co-chair since the Cabinet was launched by Mayor Hodges in 2014.
Beckmen serves as Director of the Office to End Homelessness for Minneapolis and Hennepin County. Zimmerman serves as Senior Vice President of Government and Community Relations for HealthPartners. They join Smallwood, who serves as the Chief Executive Oficeof Way to Grow, Inc.
"In our collaborative work together on the Cradle to K Cabinet, we have found that the challenges facing children in our City are most often focused in the areas of housing, health care and education," said Mayor Hodges. "I'm pleased that Mikkel and Donna have agreed to join Carolyn in leading the Cabinet as we continue to address the disparities facing the youngest among us. Each are leaders in their respective fields and are dedicated to the future of Minneapolis, a future we are making brighter through this important work. I'm so grateful for their willingness to serve."
Mayor Hodges established her Cradle to K Cabinet in 2014, a major initiative of her administration focused on developing a plan to eliminate disparities for children in the City of Minneapolis prenatally to three years old. Research shows that racial disparities can be closed, even prevented, by focused, results-driven interventions in early childhood; and increasingly, cities are making critical investments in early childhood that yield great returns over time. Mayor Hodges' Cradle to K Cabinet is a collaborative gathering of multi-sector experts, leaders, and parents who are working to prevent disparities by aligning policies, closing gaps, and increasing resources where needed to ensure that all Minneapolis children have a healthy start, are stably housed, and have continuous access to high-quality, child-development-centered child care and early education, regardless of their race, neighborhood, income or family structure.
Main Objectives
1. All children will receive a Healthy Start rich with early experiences that will prepare them for successful early education and literacy.
2. All children will be stably housed.
3. All children will have continuous access to high quality early childhood education.
Cabinet Charge
1. To implement the recommendations from the Cradle to K education plan.
2. Assist in coordinating multi-sector resources so that they are aligned and meet the needs of children and families.
Donna Zimmerman is the Senior Vice President of Government and Community Relations for HealthPartners, a nonprofit, consumer-governed health care organization in Bloomington, Minnesota. HealthPartners provides health care coverage to 1.5 million members and health care services for more than one million patients each year. She is responsible for developing and managing federal and state public policy and regulatory relationships, community affairs across the organizations and community partnerships to improve population health. She works in all areas of government and reform product strategy, including Medicare, Medicaid and Individual products. She was previously the Director of Government Programs, with responsibility for Medicare and state public programs. Her background is in community health administration and policy, with leadership and executive experience in public and nonprofit sectors. She holds a master's degree in Public Health from the University of Minnesota and a bachelor's degree in Nursing from St. Olaf College, Minnesota.
Mikkel Beckmen believes that housing is a human right. Since July of 2013, Mikkel has served as the Director of the Office to End Homelessness for Minneapolis and Hennepin County. The Office to End Homelessness is charged with coordinating the community's implementation of the 10 year plan to end homelessness, 'Heading Home Hennepin'. In August of 2016, Mikkel began working in the newly-created position of Housing Coordinator at Hennepin County. Previously, Mikkel served for 8 years as the Executive Director of St. Stephen's Human Services in Minneapolis. In addition, he spent five years at the Corporation for Supportive Housing assisting communities throughout Minnesota in developing supportive housing and has also managed shelter and housing programs for Catholic Charities and the Salvation Army. Mikkel is a graduate of Luther College and resides in Minneapolis, the town he loves and grew up in.
Carolyn Smallwood has served the last 12 years as the executive leader of Way to Grow, Inc., an early childhood education and elementary nonprofit organization that serves over 2,300 people each year. Prior to Way to Grow, Ms. Smallwood served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Twin Cities Rise! and as the Executive Director of the Minnesota Minority Supplier Development Council. Before entering the nonprofit field, Ms. Smallwood was the Director of Supplier Diversity with ADC, The Broadband Company, and held a variety of senior level positions with US Bancorp. During Ms. Smallwood's corporate career, her influence helped earn ADC national recognition as the "MEED Corporation of the Year," and "Supplier Advocate of the Year" as well as a designation as one of the "Top 25 Companies in Supplier Diversity." In addition, Minnesota Monthly magazine awarded Ms. Smallwood, "Small Business Advocate of the Year." In 2014, the Star Tribune named Carolyn one of the Twin Cities' "Top African-Americans of Influence." Throughout her career, she has spent her professional life advocating for women and the underserved. Ms. Smallwood has a passion for work in diverse communities, a solid background in marketing, strong executive experience, an inclusive leadership style and a dynamic presence. She is strategic, thoughtful and recognizes the education of children as a top priority.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Arm 1
Cognitive intervention
Behavioral: Cognitive Intervention
Cognitive rehabilitation treatment designed specifically to address the most common cognitive complaints in executive and memory function
Active Comparator: Arm 2
Educational intervention
Behavioral: Educational intervention
Educational intervention is geared at personal management of TBI-related symptoms.
Detailed Description:
The most common impairments following blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) are cognitive deficits in the domain of executive functioning, learning and memory, and functional and psychosocial disabilities that are closely related to these cognitive deficits. There are no treatment protocols available to address the multiple cognitive impairments in bTBI, but cognitive rehabilitation has proven efficacious in the treatment of non-blast TBI. The cognitive training modules the investigators plan to evaluate have improved organization and memory function in patients with non-blast TBI, but it is unknown whether their efficacy exceeds that of programs that focus only on education and support. This study is a between group comparison of a cognitive rehabilitation treatment designed specifically to address the most common cognitive complaints in executive and memory function, and an active control group receiving educational intervention geared at personal management of TBI-related symptoms.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|21 Years to 50 Years (Adult)

Please contact us if you have any additional questions.
Important note: The dress from this set cannot be made in custom size for the chest circumference bigger than 49 inches (124 cm).
hello, this dress is so stunning but because of the price I think it should be better for me to pay first for the chemise and corset, have you got any pictures of the chemise plus corset as I can have an idea if it will be sufficient for this year`? :)
Thank you for your compliments! We don`t have any picture of the Archeress corset together with the chemise, but you can see the chemise worn with another corset, maybe this will help you to get a general idea of how the chemise may look worn under a corset.
Good day! I would like to purchase this set, but I have several questions: 1) Can this dress be made with "Green Sleeves" trim? How much does it cost? 2) I'm from Latvia and can't find my country from shipping list. But there are Estonia - nearest country... I'm wondering what should I select? 3) Will you send me invoice to this changes or should I mention it in comment as well as corset and chemise color?
The dress can be made with the Green Sleeves narrow trim, $15.00 extra for this.
Sorry, there was probably a glitch on the website, please try again, now Latvia should be available :)
Please mention the trim in the comments to your order and we`ll send you the invoice once we receive it.
I have been admiring your "Archeress" dress as a potential wedding dress for myself. I had done a sketch of some modifications I would like and was wondering how possible they would be? I can send the image file of the sketch and we could discuss details. Please and thank you!
We`d be happy to see the sketch! We make some custom modifications sometimes, but first it needs to be discussed with our designer. Please send the sketch at firstname.lastname@example.com and describe the changes.
Hi, I am fixing to be working on wedding plans and I love this dress, but I am trying to decide what I can do for my daughter and the flower girls to match, are children dress sizes a option, this is the dress I am interested in, just want them to match
Usually we don`t make the clothes for children because the proportions can be really different and it`s really hard to work with it remotely. Could you please let us know the full height of the girls and we`ll speak with our designer if we can make it.
Hello. Is it possible to get the bodice in black suede with this set? Thank you.
Yes, sure, just mention the corset color in the comment to your order.
Can I order this dress in any of your flax colors? I know on a different dress I saw goldenrod, orange, violet etc.? second, I love the trim from the forest princess or chess queen dresses, can I change the trim to the silver/black Celtic?
The dress in custom size is available in any of the flax colors, just choose the one you like. Сan be made with the narrow Silver&Black Celtic trim for no extra.
Hello, I am an author looking for a model for the cover of my novel. I was wondering if the "Archeress" model has a website or name? I'm interested in hiring her for a shoot.

1. Jacob Lacey, Indianapolis Colts cornerback: Lacey is ideally a dime guy, maybe a nickel. But the Colts married themselves to him as their No. 2 starter right after the lockout in a move many of us still struggle to understand. Lately they've been using Terrence Johnson some. Sunday in Cincinnati it sure seemed like they went with Lacey early and then pulled him for Johnson. If there was anyone on the roster who was capable of putting real pressure on Lacey, he'd have to get some time on the bench to get his game together. Drew Brees will look his way and see red meat.
2. Rashean Mathis, Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback: In a poor first half for the Jaguars in Pittsburgh, Mathis was exceptionally noticeable. He had a crack at a hit that would have prevented a Rashard Mendenhall touchdown run, got stiff-armed out of another run play, he dropped a ball I thought he could have picked and was in defense on a touchdown pass to Mike Wallace (yes he's tough to defend, but still). Mathis is a quality leader and a quality guy. He told the team after the game that it's on the cusp of winning a game. They may be, but he's one of the guys who's got to do better to make it happen.
3. Leroy Harris and Eugene Amano, Tennessee Titans interior offensive linemen: Mike Munchak's team has been very good in pass protection, which is why Matt Hasselbeck's been able to be such a significant story. But run blocking is an issue, and these two guys are the root of it. Munchak is steadfastly loyal to the group that started for him last season when he was offensive line coach, but asked recently if he was considering any line changes, his answer wasn't "no," it was "not yet." That's as close as this pair may come to getting put on notice. Fernando Velasco is the one legitimate alternative on the bench.
1. Tim Jamison, Houston Texans defensive end: As the Texans started life without injured outside linebacker Mario Williams, Jamison exploded with a big first-half performance: two sacks, including one that forced a fumble he recovered that set up a touchdown. It was an impressive showing, and it's the sort of effort from a member of the supporting cast that the Texans can really use. Gary Kubiak said he sees Jamison as a young Antonio Smith. That's high praise considering what a player Smith is.
2. The Tennessee Titans' health: Coming off a bye, the Titans appear pretty healthy. Safety Chris Hope (arm) is out for a long stretch. Backup linebacker and special-teamer Colin McCarthy (hamstring) may be the only other issue. If tight end Craig Stevens (ribs) is feeling better, things will be looking up for the Titans. And considering the Texans just played the very physical Ravens and have a banged-up quarterback in Matt Schaub, it's a nice advantage to have.
3. Indianapolis' pass protection: The Colts have scrambled to patch things together with a bunch of injured guys, but quarterback Curtis Painter has gone over 100 pass attempts without an interception and he's had time the past few games to make his reads and make his throws. Pierre Garcon and Reggie Wayne have been beneficiaries. This line's taken a beating when things have been bad, and run blocking is no strength. But the group is stepping up to give the young quarterback a chance.

Halt the evictions of Brixton and Herne Hill's beloved businesses from the railway arches
The businesses found in the arches on Atlantic Road, Brixton Station Road and Railton Rd in Brixton and Herne Hill are part of the fabric of the area. In Brixton, each one has been notified that they have 6 months to vacate their units to make way for the regeneration of the area.
It is vitally important that these businesses stay in Brixton, and are not thrown out of where some have been trading for over 30 years.
This petition calls on landlords Network Rail to immediately halt the planned evictions, pending a full consultation with all local businesses and the residents who use them
We also call on Lambeth Council to use everything in their power to prevent these evictions and fully support the residents.

What is StEPs?
Standards and Excellence Program for History Organizations (StEPs) is AASLH's self-study standards program designed specifically for small- to mid-sized history organizations, including volunteer run institutions. Using a workbook, an online community, and a three-tiered achievement system with certificates, StEPs enables even the smallest organizations to assess policies and practices, manage daily operations, and plan for the future—all at your own pace!
"The program has helped us restructure a failing organization with less than 5 months finances remaining into a successful, financially stable organization with a fully functioning board." – StEPs Member
Why Create a New Standards Program?
Trying to sit down and realistically assess your practices can be a daunting task, especially for small museums with limited staff and time. For many years, the field of state and local history has struggled without a roadmap for planning and improvement. AAM's assessment and accreditation programs, have, in the past been the primary alternatives. As helpful as these extraordinary programs are, they are designed for the museum field at largeIn 2009, after four years of grassroots research and testing and the efforts of over 130 volunteers , AASLH created StEPs with IMLS funding to fill a specific need within the field of state and local history. Assessment and achieving national standards are crucial aspects to healthy, effective history organizations. StEPs takes these important tasks and breaks them down into small, manageable sections and levels, so that your history organization, no matter how small or busy, can make real, quantifiable progress towards optimal institutional health and efficiency. StEPs was designed to be an important part of helping history organizations, not matter how small, move along the Continuum of Excellence.
"The StEPs program has been a valuable tool for our organization. We used it conjunction with recommendations from the MAP program and found that the two program complemented each other very well." – StEPs Member
What Do We Mean by Standards?
In this program, a standard is defined as "a generally accepted level of attainment that all organizations are expected to achieve." For more on standards, see the Continuum of Excellence.
"StEPs has really helped us to pull together as a team. It has let us look at our strengths and our weaknesses . We have grown stronger and our museum has gained a clearer vision of our goals and our mission statement." -StEPs Member
The StEPs Workbook
"I LOVE the StEPs program! I've been devouring the workbook – it's very helpful." -StEPs Member
The StEPs workbook is more than just a workbook. It's a manual and a compass for progress. The workbook is organized into six sections that can be used in any order, according to your organization's individual needs and priorities:
- Mission, Vision, & Governance
- Audience
- Interpretation
- Stewardship of Collections
- Stewardship of Historic Structures & Landscapes
- Management
In each section, you will find discussion prompts, a list of standards, unacceptable practices, and overarching statements that describe an institution meeting standards. Then, for each standard, there are workbook pages that break the standard down into the Basic, Good, and Better levels with performance indicators, and workbook pages for planning projects needed to reach those indicators. At the end of every section are project suggestions, resource lists, and forms for certificate application. A full glossary defines terms used in the workbook.
Download Sample Workbook Pages Here
Each time your organization reports back to AASLH that you have achieved all the performance indicators for a section level, AASLH awards your organization with certificates at the Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels. Once organizations complete the Better levels in all six sections, they are recognized during the Awards Banquet ceremony at AASLH's Annual Meeting.
These certificates are a great way to show your board, community, visitors, and yourself the progress you are making and the achievements you are reaching. Besides local and statewide recognition, these certificates can be used as valuable support material for funding requests and grant applications.
Since certificates are earned on the honor system, it is easy to send in the form after completing a section. As such, it is important to make the distinction between StEPs certificates and "certification." While these two words are often used interchangeably, there is a significant difference. Since StEPs is a self-study program operated on the honor system, the program does not grant or constitute a seal of approval, endorsement or certification.
StEPs certificates show progress in the program and that you are ready to move on to other assessment programs in the field. StEPs is a great way for organization to work up to the American Alliance of Museums' MAP and Accreditation programs ; both programs are part of the Continuum of Excellence.
"We are using steps as a tool to learn the standards and practices of the museum world since we are all volunteers with no formal training." – StEPs Member
Don't wait to start making progress. Enroll in StEPs today and begin the journey to excellence.

British artist LS Lowry's paintings of industrial, working-class Britain brought him popular famein the UK. Yet his works have never been the subject of a solo exhibition abroad - until now.
LS Lowry, with his depictions of everyday northern life, is one of Britain's best loved painters.Popular he may be, but since his death in 1976, there have been accusations that the British artestablishment has turned its back on him, finding his subject matter too working class.
There's been public pressure for major galleries to do more to celebrate him and last year theTate Britain put on a Lowry show. But remarkably, for such an icon of modern British art, nosolo exhibition of his work has ever been held outside the UK. Until now. A collection ofLowry paintings is being shown at an exhibition in Nanjing in eastern China
Lowry's canvases depict a side of British life that's now gone. The one above, Mill Scene, from1965, is reminiscent of many of his paintings, with its smoke stacks and hurrying crowds ofworkers.

BTS: Dato' Elaine Teh
By November 18, 2014 , Leaderson
BTS: Dato' Elaine Teh
Channelling the same determination and discipline she did as a star athlete in school, Dato' Elaine Teh was a relentless ball of energy throughout her day-long cover shoot. When our ever-perfectionist fashion director Eddie has her try on outfit after outfit for just one shot, she does so obligingly — and with enthusiasm. And when our photographer Brendan has her lounging on uncomfortable wooden blocks (of various heights) for nearly an hour, she does so with Zen-like ease. Ask if she needs to take a break and she replies: "I'm having so much fun! There is no time to be tired." Did we manage to capture her verve? You be the judge.

Initial Coin Offering (IPCO or ICO) is a popular way to raise money for a new cryptocurrency project by distributing a percentage of the initial coin supply among the early supporters and backers. An IPCO solves the problem of initial coin distribution, since the supply goes to whoever has given money for the project development. It has been controversial owing to a number of scams, but many successful cryptocurrencies were funded through an IPCO. Some of the popular cryptocurrencies using this model include Ethereum, Bitshares, NXT, Mastercoin, Factom, etc.
ICOs have properties resembling stocks, and therefore new projects starting from Ethereum have classified their IPCOs as 'Software Pre-sales' instead and believe they follow the crowdfunding model instead of an IPO model, where payments are received not for an equitable share in the enterprise but for a license to run the software.
If you have interest to launch your own coin offering, submit it now.

Please confirm that you want to add Grow Your Author Tribe As you Write for Authors and Writers to your Wishlist.
I created Grow Your Author Tribe As You Write as a framework for fiction and non-fiction authors and writers to build a tribe (community) as they write their book, using audio and podcasts.
I know how challenging authors and writers find marketing their book when it's published. So much of the creativity has gone into writing with nothing left for marketing it. But marketing and promoting your book is important, especially when so many books published every year.
Waiting till the book is finished to start marketing, leaves authors and writers vulnerable, and in some cases desperate to sell their book. They revert to 'pushing' the book at just anyone rather than nurturing a relationship and 'pulling' the right reader before it's time to buying anything.
Most Book Marketing experts will tell you to start marketing your book as soon as you start writing me cases desperate to sell their book.
But how to you do that?
I've created this course to provide authors and writers with the tools and strategies they need to start, build and grow their author tribe as they write.
Audio is central to this course because your voice has the ability for you to establish and build rapport with your ideal reader quickly.
In today's digital world, as authors and writers, you can no longer rely on using the word to connect with their reader. Your readers consume content in different formats and audio allows you to connect personally and easily. You extend your reach to an audience that consumes content in this way and pull them into your tribe they follow you on your journey to writing and completing your book.
This video outlines 8 questions students need to answer before they create a plan.
Audio is central to have students will benefit from this course, and SoundCloud is audio platform that allows students to host up 180 minutes for free. In this video, I explain the benefits it offers authors and writers and why they should set up an account. There's a bonus video that shows how an account can be set up.
Facebook is a social media platform used by majority of authors and writers. This video covers why Facebook will be used.
This video covers the benefit of Google + and why authors and writers should use it.
Instagram is a relative new platform for authors and writers. This video covers why authors and writers will benefit from using this platform.
Pinterest is another social media platform that is used by a lot of authors and writers. This video covers the benefits it offers.
This video covers why YouTube has been added on to the list of platforms to be used for the course.
Twitter is the most popular social media platform for authors and writers. This video is for those who don't already have an account set up.
Hashtags are ways to find common stories on social media. This video covers why authors and writers need to use hashtags. It also covers some common hashtags
This video focuses on how students can learn the technique to record audio/podcast clips easily and without any added cost. The video also demonstrates how the technique was created and why it works.
This video covers practice tasks students can use to learn the technique before they start recording to build their author tribe.
This quiz is to assess students on how the learned the technique to record their audio/podcast clips.
Before students look at the different sections on what to record, there are some key questions they should answer. These questions will give them the framework for the next 3 lectures.
This lecture covers questions and examples of what students can record about who they are.
Students will learn about different aspects of their book they can potentially share as they write their book.
This lecture covers questions and examples of what students can record about regarding their writing process.
This lecture covers 5 recording goals students can aim for to grow and build their author tribe. These goals all tie in with the platforms students set up earlier.
Some people don't use audio because they are unsure how to structure it for consistency and offer value to their listeners. Students will learn the structure and have two examples that they can model their own recording on.
This lecture covers what students should be aware on as they start this section of the course.
I'm a radio presenter, audio marketing expert and the author of 'How to use Podcasts to promote your book'.
I currently present the Dream Corner Show dedicated to female entrepreneurs and leaders; with over 300 guests being featured since inception.
As a Marketing Audio Expert, I focus on providing authors, writers and entrepreneurs with strategies to increase their online visibility and engagement using audio/podcasts.
Here are 7 quick facts about me I hope you find interesting:

A Guy Used Outrageous (Fake) Book Covers To Troll Subway Users.
I'll admit it: My secret favorite genre of reading is true crime. It's not that weird, but I do get some strange sideways glances when people on the train notice me reading a massive 800-page volume about JonBenet or Jeffrey Dahmer.
This guy took the concept of an embarrassing read to a whole new level by filming himself reading some controversial (and totally made up) titles on the New York City subway. See how they react to titles such as "Slut-Shaming Your Baby," and "Gone Girl 2: Even Goner." Spoiler alert: Their faces say exactly what you were thinking.
