Question: A restaurant owner wanted to gather some data on customer
A restaurant owner wanted to gather some data on customer taste preferences about two new salads on the menu, one a mixed-greens salad, and one a roasted vegetable salad. A random sample of diners was selected, and each diner was asked to taste both of the new salads and indicate which was preferred. There were 35 diners in the sample. Of these, three liked the salads equally. Of the remainder, 20 gave a higher rating to the mixed-greens salad. Is there evidence, at the 3% level of significance, that diners prefer the mixed-greens salad?

INTERACTIVEThe Nature Of Living
In memory of KatheeIrene Toon (1950 – 2010)
The goal of thisproject was to explore the creation of generative visuals throughexperimental interfaces between Max/MSP/Jitter and camera inputs.
Taking inspiration fromnotions of visual music and synaesthesia, I explored various optionsfor using motion data to create visual responses projected in space.The Nature of Living's interaction design explicitlycorresponds to the movements of a user, instead of provoking the userwith ambiguous visuals. The final result took the form of apseudo-fluid blob, and its anaglyphic effect was to visuallyrepresent the frequency of recorded movements.
This project wasfeatured in New Zealand Pro Design Issue #111, as well as inthe 2012 Prospectus Handbook for Victoria University of Wellington'sFaculty of Architecture and Design.
Thank You!

An application often needs to store a process quantity of data.
For example:
- Daily temperatures - to find highs, lows, or averages
- A list of names (strings) - to lookup a name
- A list of URLs - browser history
Python uses a type called a list to store a number of data items.
A Python list is called an array in most other programming languages.
We will use the terms list and array interchangeably.
Individual Variables
Recall, a variable is a named storage location.
count = 31
size = 8.47
greet = 'Hello'
Diagram of the above variables.
count | 31 |
size | 8.47 |
greet | 'Hello' |
Each variable above has a single value.
A list is an ordered group of variables with the same name.
Subscripts, also called an index, denote individual items of a list.
A list named arr that has the values 21, 6, 9, 2.
arr = [21, 6, 9, 2]
In programming languages the first subscript is 0, not 1.
List Subscript Notation
Subscripts are usually written inside square brackets, [ ].
arr[1] = 6
arr[3] = 2
Python Lists
Python code to create the above list:
arr = [21, 6, 9, 2]
# Output the 9
index = 2
The subscript for the 9 is 2.
What would the Python statement be to output the 21 in the above list?
List Size and Valid Subscripts
Using the above list execute the following code:
# Set the value of the index variable to 4
index = 4
# Output the value of at the index
Notice the value of the greatest valid subscript is one less than the size.
This is because the first subscript is 0.
- If an array has 100 elements the valid subscripts are 0 through 99.
- If an array has 55 elements the valid subscripts are 0 through 54.
- If an array has N elements the valid subscripts are 0 through N - 1.
Outputting the Elements in a List
Define a list and output the values in the list:
# A list to work with
data = [3, 1, 7, 4]
# Output the list elements
index = 0
while index < 4:
index = index + 1
List Size and Valid Subscripts - Common Error
A common error:
# A list to work with
data = [3, 1, 7, 4]
# Output the list elements
index = 0
while index <= 4:
idx = index + 1
What is the problem?
Using Lists
items = [] # Create an empty list named items
print(items[0]) # Error, invalid subscript
items = [3, 5, 8] # Create a list with 3 elements
print(items[0]) # OK
print(items[3]) # Error, invalid subscript
A list must have an element for a subscript before the subscripting is done.
Lists, the len Function
Given a list it would be convenient to know how many elements are in it.
The len function:
Function Name: len
Argument: A single argument of type list.
Result: An integer is returned that is the number of elements in the argument list.
Side Effect: None.
arr = [ 3, 4 ]
count = len(arr)
Putting Items in an Empty List
Often we start with an empty list and append to it.
items = [] # Create an empty list
items.append(3) # Append 3
items.append(5) # Append 5
items.append(8) # Append 8
print(items[0]) # OK
This is very convenient. Start with an empty list and put in as many items as we want.
If we specified the list size to be 10 (and were able to do that), then we would have to store 10 items in each of the 10 subscripts or keep track of how many valid items were in the list if we used less than 10 subscripts.
General Outputting of a List
If a list is constructed using append, the number of elements in the list can vary.
The len function must be used in outputting.
The following code will output the indices in order with each index followed by the element in the list at that index.
# Assume list arr has some items in it
index = 0
while index < len(arr):
print(index, arr[index])
index = index + 1
while loop break statement
A while loop repeats a group of statements as long as the while condition is true.
Sometimes it is convenient to stop the repetition in the middle of the loop statements.
A break may be used to terminate while loop repetition.
When the break executes:
- No further statements in the loop are executed.
- The statement that follows the loop is executed next.
while CONDITION:
# ...
if ANOTHER_CONDITION:
# ...
print("After the loop")
If ANOTHER_CONDITION is true the break will execute and the repetition will be terminated.
Inputting and Outputting of a List
Write a program that will input numbers from the user, store the numbers in a list, compute the sum, and output the sum.
A list is used so that other operations on the data, such as find the greatest item, may be done.
Assume the input is terminated by a -1.
# Input
data = []
while True:
num = input('Please enter a number, -1 to quit: ')
if int(num) == -1:
# Compute
sum = 0
idx = 0
while idx < len(data):
sum = sum + data[idx]
idx = idx + 1
# Output
print('Sum is', sum)

Zee editors held for extortion
According to S B S Tyagi, Deputy Commissioner of Police (crime and railways), Sudhir and Samir were held after investigation conducted by the crime branch's inter-state cell. "The arrests have been made after we recorded statements of all the parties concerned," said a senior police official, requesting anonymity.
Zee News denied all the allegations and described the arrests as a "crude and direct attack on the freedom of the press."
Jindal alleges that Sudhir and Samir told the representatives of his company — Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) — that if they did not spend Rs 100 crore on advertising, they would air stories on his involvement in the coal scam.
Jindal had earlier shown tapes purportedly recorded in a sting operation, alleging that the channel tried to blackmail the company. He also alleges that Zee had been airing "baseless, false and fabricated news to malign his name and that of my company. On approaching Zee to clarify our stance, we were asked to provide monetary favours. We were shocked to hear this as in the 40 years of our existence, we have never been blackmailed."
Jindal also has a video footage that showcased conversation between Sudhir and Samir, and JSPL's representatives in meetings held on September 10, 17 and 19.

|Enviromental Health Inspector
|First appearance
|13th September 2004
|Number of appearances
|Played by
|Robert Austin
Gordon Venables was a stern-faced Environmental Health Inspector who put the opening night of McCarthy's restaurant in doubt when he called unannounced during the day to carry out a final inspection on the premises. Soon after commencing his duties, Roy Cropper called in to make a booking and finding out that Gordon was on the premises, sympathised with Ciaran, telling him that Venables was a stickler devoid of flexibility or a sense of humour. Unfortunately, Gordon overheard the remark and told Roy that a random inspection of his café would be happening very soon! After the inspection, Gordon told Ciaran the results - the kitchen was very impressive with obviously no expense spared…but as he was unable to supply hot water to the kitchen, and boiled-up water would not be acceptable, he would not be allowed to open. Charlie Stubbs carried out a rush job and fixed the problem and Gordon came back telling the chef that it was, "safe to unleash you on the Weatherfield cognoscenti." A parting gesture was made towards new visitor Fred Elliott who was also promised a future inspection to look at his splash-backs at his Butcher's Shop.

"OK. Probably depends on which Dr or clinic is..."
About: Warwick Hospital Warwick Hospital Warwick CV34 5BW
Posted by Anonymous
What I liked
Smaller hospital so a bit more of a personal feel than the new super hospitals they keep building (i.e. Coventry Walsgrave).
What could be improved
Lack of parking and general access to the main entrance makes it very difficult to get in or out of the hospital, infact virtually impossible around visiting hours or shift change time. Not ideal if you are disabled or are trying to drop off / collect a relative in a wheelchair.
The appointment system clearly needs to be looked.
Discharge system should be improved.
Some consultants might try actually listening to the patient.
Anything else?
I have had some recent experiences with this hospital, twice for my own outpatients appointments and once when an elderly relative was admitted as an emergency.
My experience with pain management services was disappointing, I would say simply don't bother. The Dr was not able to offer any firm diagnosis or further insight to my pain, the consultation felt rushed with no proper examination and I felt patronised. The Dr suggested no medications or treatments other than what my GP had already provided (clearly they weren't working otherwise I wouldn't have been referred to hospital in the first place). I was in and out within 10 minutes and the letter the Dr wrote back to my GP bares no resemblance to what was said or happened during the appointment.
I was also seen at another outpatients department (dermatology) and that was a far more positive experience, until it came to rearranging my follow up consultation. Just like the previous person who has commented here, I phoned up and cancelled in good time and asked for the appointment to be rescheduled, yet the hospital still sent a Did Not Attend (DNA) to both myself and my GP.
I assume the hospital does this to massage their performance figures in some way or else their computer system is so stupid it can't tell the difference between a cancellation/moved appointment and one where someone doesn't show up.
Unfortunately I'm running out of characters for this review, so in regards to my relatives inpatient stay all I can really say is the care in hospital was pretty good. Unfortunately the discharge system/procedure was terrible. They just wanted her out ASAP and had no concern for how she would cope at home / after care and so on.
Response from Warwick Hospital 4 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback.
Regarding your comment about our car parking facilities, the Trust is in the process of developing a second patient and visitor car park in order to alleviate some of the pressures that we have been seeing on our current parking provision. This will be open in the next few weeks.
We are also improving our discharge process with a project called 'Home for Lunch' which will speed up the discharge process in order to ensure that more patients are safely home durning day time hours and in time for their lunch.
Thank you for also raising your concerns with the 'Did Not Attend' letter. We have recognised that there is a need for improvement and we are just embarking on a review of our booking procedures to see how we can improve our processes.
Regarding your comment about the Pain Service, please could you contact me using the address below so that I can investigate further and respond to you directly.
Kind regards

perfect comfortable range from Toms... Love them!
Not the best of Toms... it looks nice and is special. However the lining at the back is rough therefore it scratches the heel, rather uncomfortable. Disappointed..
Super comfy and look good
I can't believe I have waited 34 years to purchase my first pair of Toms! Fit perfectly and super comfy.
Excellent product. Very comfortable. Ever so slightly on the large side however this doesn't affect the comfort of the shoes.
Slightly tight at the top of the shoe but I'm sure this will loosen up when they're worn in

Private Enterprise Committed to Social Interests
Social needs like energy- and water supply, the waste industry, education, senior pensions and health care can be solved better publically than privately. While economic democracy is not a mass theme, people are activated when they feel they are gaining influence on their own affairs through expanded joint determination - in the existential questions of work and the economy.
Interview with Joachim Beerhorst
[This interview published in March 2017 is translated abridged from the German on the Internet, http://www.linksnet.de.]
spw: Economic democracy is a component of the current discussion about a social-ecological New Deal. Where must economic democracy begin to overcome the short-term orientation of businesses with its fixation on stock price development and to strengthen the just determination of employees and democratic control of investments?
Joachim Beerhorst: I think economic democracy can and must begin wherever work and the economy are organized.
On the plane of economic policy through orientation in social desirability and ecological compatibility; on the business plane through orientation in sustainable development and on the different composition of the supervisory groups; on the internal plane through the policy of the works' councils…and finally on the plane of the workplace where employees can be addressed by creative ideas, social reason and self-organization. This is a possibility and challenge at the same time.
In all this, we must not wait for institutional changes – like the joint-determination-, social- or industrial-relations law – or for the federal German policy that is hard to influence. In communal and regional policy, interests can be organized; alliances forged and political spaces filled so local economic development is accessible to democratic control. The unions could politicize the work of the supervisory boards so – together and in an effective public way – they can turn away from a pure profit-oriented business leadership of short horizons…
spw: Are we not obliged to reflect about entirely new forms of business or economics after the failure of the "shareholder value" model? In which branches in Germany could public and cooperative businesses be developed or transferred into common property? Where is there a realistic prospect?
J.B.: With cooperative ideas, we have a hard time after the decline of union social economy businesses. Nevertheless I will not give up. In some businesses, there are cooperative enterprises. They are widespread in the global perspective and not only in developing or threshold countries. But first the obvious question presses how do we limit and reverse the privatization of public services and how do we enforce social interests against businesses and branches?
One answer is certainly the transfer of transportation services to public responsibility like the de-privatization of vital necessities – social themes like energy- and water supply, the waste industry, education, senior pensions and health care can be solved better publically than privately. The paper economy (Kreditwirtschaft) is one of the crucial social areas. This is demonstrated by the continuing open financial market crisis. Savings banks and cooperative banks are stabilizing. The world of banking should be strictly regulated (the bankruptcy escapades of the regional central banks confirm this).
How private enterprise is committed to social interests and thereby partially socialized is crucial. Two things are conceivable besides social and ecological legislation:
Firstly, similar to mastering the steel crisis in the 1980s, the regulated reduction of industrial overcapacity and economic structural change, for example in the auto industry through assigned production quotas for businesses – under socially agreed reduction and redistribution of working hours. New EU institutions and trade boards must take over the function that the European board for coal and steel carried out. More rational ways of crisis management do not seem doomed to fail since suffering increases through overcapacities. Secondly, we should understand the profit expectations of capital as socially adjustable and not as an economic law. This could mean agreeing on socially acceptable profit margins for private capital and making everything accessible to social control. I can envision a social economy orientation as a binding regulative idea when it is implemented across Europe, if not globally, in coordinated social agreements.
spw: What mobilizing power do goals of economic democracy have in union work?
J.B.: I am not sure. On one side, the widespread business practice of joint determination has not made democracy experiencable in the economy. Economic democracy is not currently a mass theme. On the other side, historical and current examples show people are activated when they feel they are gaining influence on their own affairs through expanded joint determination – in the existential questions of work and the economy.
The conflicts around the coal, iron and steel industries in Germany, around the investment funds in employee control in Sweden or – in the most radical and under non-capitalist conditions – redefinition of conditions of the economy, society and democracy in the 1968 Prague Spring, the increased participation and membership of the IG Metal union speak for the attractiveness of political offers and possibilities to come out of the object role and overcome experiences of powerlessness. Over against the "terror of the economy," there are no certainties but potentials based on experience for realizing the political concept "democratization of the economy."

LaoFoYe (the Empress Dowager) is famous for her secret formulas on Food, Beauty, Longevity and Hair Care. There was a famous story about her – When a single strand of her hair was detached while combing, she insisted that it be attached back to her scalp. Thus illustrating her love to remain young and beautiful.
"Buddha Jump Over The Wall"
A famous imperial cuisine of abalone is one of her concoctions for health. LaoFoYe (Cixi's secret formulas) provides excellent nutrients for your follicles. These nutrients are absorbed exceedingly fast by the follicles, thus is an extremely effective solution to halt alopecia areata and promotes hair growth.
Come discover this treasure with me, and regain your confidence
For more than 20 years, I have suffered from scalp problems and dandruff, itchy scalp, thinning of hair and finally hair loss. I have tried every formula available without achieving any result. Since using Cixi's Ancient Secret Formulas, I discovered the answer to all my scalp problems. I now have a full head of hair. More amazingly, pores which I thought were closed, are now opened with new hair emerging.
I had tried many different types of tonics, shampoos and treatments but none helped. In 2006, due to extreme stress, my hair were shedding by chunks. After shampooing, my bathtub would be lined with hair.
I was desperate.
I could not bun up my hair as usual without revealing my empty scalp. My scalp was visibly shiny under the thin hair. As a woman that's totally unacceptable. I could not fashion my hair. It was worse than being bald.
I was a pitiful sight.
I went around seeking help. Although I had paid for some anti-hair loss treatment course at one of the hair care centres in Singapore. It didn't work. They could not save my hair so I continued to search for a remedy.
On one of my trips to China, in some remote mountain retreat, I noticed some century-old folks who still had reasonably good head of hair! I asked for their help and was very fortunate to be given some ancient formulas. These secret formulas (they said) are only passed on by word of mouth from one generation to the next. Never in writing. I tried on all the different hair treatmentsand formulas for scalp conditions. I used the various concoctions comprising of only herbs and natural ingredients. I was the guinea pig.
They worked! I was ecstatic!
I scanned my scalp everyday during the treatments and was surprised to find many pores opened (each looking like the crater of a volcano!). The pores had been reactivated.
The "closed" pores were opened!
As I continued,…. then….. new hair began to emerge from these opened pores. The formula worked well on my 30-years-old tattooed eyebrows too.
I was absolutely dumbfounded.
I simply followed instructions that were handed down from generation to generation.
Truly amazing!
I am eternally grateful to those who had unselfishly shared their secrets with me. In turn, it is my desire to share this precious gift with you.
LaoFoYe's ancient secret formulas are the very precious nutrients needed by the dermal papilla to make it healthy. It is very effective in reviving it to continue a new hair cycle all over again!
The dermal papilla is fed by the bloodstream which carries nourishment to produce new hair. The dermal papilla is a structure very important to hair growth.
Unhealthy/undernourished/damaged dermal papilla may cause the hair follicle to get progressively smaller and the hair to become finer.
All my satisfied customers ask me the same, one good question.
How to make sure new hair stay and grow longer without dropping off?
The answer is simple:
Just like our body need food for energy, we need to eat regularly and properly to maintain good health. LFY formulas are nutrients for your follicles. Feeding the follicles regularly with our nutrients is recommended.
We do have numerous satisfied clients, who after treatment of their specific problems, are able to maintain good healthy lifestyle and diet. Hence do not need to continue treatment. However, for those with stressful or hectic routines and health handicaps, we suggest fortnightly or monthly maintenance treatments for healthy hair.
Can new hair emerge and grow after age 50?
Yes, it's true. Believe me.
Can closed pores be reactivated for new hair cycle?
Yes, they can!
Can new hair grow from dormant follicles which had slept for over 20 years?
Yes, they can!

Who can apply for the Off-Campus Selection Process?
Only students classified as members of the rising junior and senior cohorts will be eligible for the Off-Campus Selection Process. Students of the rising junior and senior cohort may apply for the Off-Campus Selection each year. Submitting an application or participating in the Off-Campus selection does not guarantee that off campus residency will be granted. Rising juniors and seniors who wish to live off campus must fill out the CSB Off Campus Selection Form which can be found on the Housing Portal. The deadline for this form is October 15.
How are students selected for Off Campus housing?
Release from the residency requirement will be offered based on the best selection number in your group.
Who can apply for the "Appeal to Be Released from the Residency Requirement"?
If a student meets one or more of the following criteria on the first day of fall semester, she can appeal to be released from the residency requirement. This form is found on the Housing Portal.
The criteria are:
If a student meets of of these criteria, she will automatically be granted off-campus residency status for the academic year or term(s) for which she applied.
Students who do not meet the criteria above may appeal to be released from the residency requirement in any of their four years to live at their permanent home address if located within 20 miles of the CSB campus. These requests for release from the residency requirement will be considered on a case by case basis. Submitting an appeal does not guarantee that off campus residency will be granted.
When is the deadline to sign up for off campus housing?
The deadline for students to sign up for off campus housing is October 15th.
Is there a maximum group size allowed in the release process?
Yes, the maximum group size to be 6 students. In the event you are looking at housing off campus that accommodates more than 6 people you may combine as you see fit with other groups who have been offered a release. As always, do not sign a lease or make firm plans until Offers of Release are made in mid-November.
Can I go through the release process as an individual instead of as a group?
Yes, students may only apply to the Off-Campus Selection process once, either individually or as part of a group. A selection number may be used only once in the Off-Campus Selection process.
Is there preference in the release process for seniors?
Yes, groups with a majority of Senior Cohort members (those who began college in Fall 2014 or earlier) will receive priority in the process. Groups comprised entirely with members of the rising senior cohort (those who began college in Fall 2014 or earlier) will receive priority in the process. Applying to the process is not a guarantee of release. Often, the number of participants in the release process (those who apply) exceeds the number of releases to be offered. Please know that this could mean that your group, even if you have all seniors, may not be offered a release. Next groups that have a majority of rising senior cohort members but also include rising juniors will have priority AFTER groups that only have seniors in their group. Please know that this could mean that your group, even if you have a majority of seniors in it, may not be offered a release. Majority is defined as 51% of the group (i.e. a group of 6 requires 4 seniors to be considered senior majority).
Can juniors apply for the Release Process?
While juniors may apply for the Junior/Senior Release process, please know that the number of seniors applying in the past four years have meant that no rising juniors applying as individuals or junior living groups have been offered a release. You will be able to become part of the waiting list and you may receive a 2nd or 3rd round offer should senior groups decline a release later in the process
Can I still apply for on campus housing if I accept the off campus offer but can't find housing?
Students have until December 15th to accept or decline the offer to live off campus. If a student cannot find housing after accepting the off campus offer, we can work with them in finding on campus housing. Students will still be able to participate in the on campus housing process. Please note that there is a timeline for on campus housing. If a student notifies us about this situation after the on campus housing process is over, options may be limited.
Can I decline an offer to live off campus?
A student may decline an offer for release however, if they were part of living group, it will only be possible for the living group to include another rising junior or senior as part of the group if they are approved from the off campus wait list.
I am presently living off-campus, do I have to reapply to live off-campus again for next year?
Yes, living off-campus is a privilege that all students must reapply for each year. Students must continue to meet the criteria for eligilbity. Also note that living off-campus one year does not give you any advantage in the release process. Students living at home with parents: You have to reapply so that we know of your continued desire to live at home with your parents. If you do not wish to continue to live at home, you must apply for exemption from the residency requirement as any other student. Non-traditional students (usually 23 years of age or older): You have to reapply so that we know of your continued desire to remain living off-campus.
If I am not released to live off-campus initially, how does the waiting list work?
If placed on the waiting list, we release the next individual/group when the number of students who have accepted to live off-campus has dropped below the number of students approved to live off-campus.
The house we want off campus has several groups looking at it, should we sign a lease?
NO! Students are not approved to live off campus until an offer is made and an acceptance letter is submitted. Students who do not follow this process and sign a lease off campus will find themselves responsible for that lease as well as the Campus Housing Agreement (lease) and all fees associated with campus housing. Having a signed an off campus lease does not grant you release or priority in the process or waiting list. You should not sign an off campus lease without an offer of release in the Off Campus Selection process.
Our entire living group is seniors, so we will get released, right?!
Not necessarily. Applying to the process is not a guarantee of release. Often, the number of participants in the release process (those who apply) exceeds the number of releases to be offered. Please know that this could mean that your group, even if you have all seniors, may not be offered a release
What happens if I do not receive release and I just live off campus anyways?
If you have not been granted permission to live off campus you are required to live on campus. The residential experience of community living which supports and challenges our students with opportunities for personal and social growth. As a Benedictine, liberal arts college, we believe that living in community is of central importance to the student experience and all students are required to live on campus. While we understand that living on campus may not be your first choice for housing that does not excuse you from the requirement. Ultimately, if you do not select housing in the room selection process a room will be assigned to you and will be billed for room and board accordingly.

The Court-Referral Community Service Program began as a pilot program in 1977 intended to provide an alternative to incarceration for offenders. Today, there is a full-time specialist, as well as an advisory committee, which includes a judge, probation officer, court administrators and a county commissioner. The program is funded by a Douglas County grant and client fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Court-Referral Community Service Program and who benefits from the program?
The Court-Referral Community Service Program is administered by United Way of the Midlands and provides an efficient and effective alternative to incarceration for offenders. It began as a pilot program in 1977 and today there is a full-time staff member, as well as an advisory committee, which includes judges, probation officers, court administrators and a county commissioner. During 2015, offenders provided 21,394 hours of community service to agencies valued at $441,144 and an additional $1,005,226 savings to the court system. The Criminal Justice System benefits by saving the cost of housing offenders and by having a sentencing alternative that aids in reducing the prison population. The offender benefits by being able to complete all or a portion of his/her sentence in the community; many participants share positive experiences and are interested in volunteering in the future.
How does the Court-Referral Community Service Program operate?
A court assignment of community service involves a specific number of unpaid hours of work for the community to be performed within a designated time period. They are given in lieu of, or in addition to, fines, jail time, and monetary restitution, and as a sole sanction. Community service may also be a condition of pre-trial diversion. Offenders are of all ages and backgrounds. They are often employed, skilled workers: some are unemployed, without prior volunteer experience. A wide variety of offenses may have been committed, including simple traffic violations, drunk driving, theft, assault and fraud.
The community service is performed at a variety of nonprofit organizations such as parks, schools, senior centers and health agencies. Service may include manual labor, clerical assistance, classroom help, and other more highly skilled assistance. After the assignment is given, the offender reports to the community service agency and is monitored throughout by program staff. Written verification is provided to the court upon completion of the community service hours.
How can an agency become involved and what are the obligations?
We will, at any time, describe the program and its services to interested agencies. If an agency meets the program guidelines, its identifying information is entered into the Court-Referral Program's database. When an offender seems appropriate to an agency's needs, the program staff will arrange an interview for the offender at the agency.
The agency must supervise the offender's work, keep a record of the community service hours performed, and evaluate the offender's performance, and respect confidentiality with regard to the offender's offense.

In yet another video showing the lack of shame to be completely dependent, it appears as if more freeloaders are coming forward to boast of the free money given to them by the government.
Explaining to his viewers to refer to him as, "Mr. EBT," the tone of the video is quite clear. Sharing how just about any type of food can be purchased through the card given to him by the government, his pompous attitude comes off as that similar to a kings.
(See also: UNBELIEVABLE VIDEO: "It's Free, Swipe Your EBT")
Of course there is a downfall mentioned in the video. According to Mr. EBT, unfortunately there are a few things that the card is not accepted for. Hoping that one day this might change, the singer expresses his disappointment that booze and weed aren't lawfully purchased with "free" government money.
Of course, we really shouldn't be shocked here – after all, if you give a mouse a cookie, he'll ask for a glass of milk, right?

This seems to be the case as the epidemic of parasites continues to infect the nation at an unprecedented rate.

PSNI say 'unusual' gun used in Jock Davison murder
The PSNI have said that the gun used to murder republican Jock Davison on May 5 was "unusual".
On tonight's BBC Crimewatch, detectives appealed to the public for fresh information on the case, which they have described as "challenging".
The 47-year-old was walking to work on Welsh Street in the Markets area of the city on May 5 when he was shot in the back at 9.09am.
The hitman then shot Davison four times in the head as he lay on the ground.
On the BBC Crimewatch programme this evening, Detective Superintendent Kevin Geddes from Serious Crime Branch said: "The weapon and bullets used were an Eastern European type called Makarov.
"These 9mm bullets are unusual in as much as they will not work in most types of Western handgun. They are a slightly different size and can only be fired using a Makarov type gun.
A Makarov gun which police believed was used for the hit
"This type of weapon and ammunition are extremely rare in Northern Ireland. We have a photo of a Makarov type 9mm handgun which we are issuing. Someone knows about this weapon and its ammunition. We need people with information to come forward on the non-emergency police number 101.
"The gunman is described by witnesses as being about five ft six ins tall and was wearing a dark hooded rain jacket. He made his escape from the scene up an alleyway towards Stanfield Place. We need to know where he went next. We are also issuing a photo of a similar type jacket in the hope this may jog someone's memory."
A jacket similar to the one worn by the hitman
The detective also said that the hitman had been in the area for a time prior to the killing.
He said: "We also believe the gunman may have been in the area some time before the shooting. A man fitting a similar description was seen standing at the junction of Welsh Street and McAuley Street at around 8.40am.
"A similar man was also seen with a red and white carrier bag, holding it with two hands on Welsh Street.
"They may be different people and they may be innocent members of the public. Either way, we need them to come forward so that they can be ruled out of our enquiries.
"Although the Markets is a residential area, it is very close to the city centre of Belfast and many people park cars there before walking to work."
Since the murder of Davison, the PSNI have focused their appeal for information on the community in the Markets area.
After the murder, the Sunday World reported on how the hitman was paid £10,000 to carry out the hit, and how a woman who witnessed the broad-daylight murder is currently in hiding in fear for her life.
DS Geddis used Tuesday night's Crimewatch programme to reiterate the PSNI's push for people with information to come forward.
He said: "I would appeal again to anyone who parked a car in the Markets between 8-9am on Tuesday 5 May and then walked to work to contact detectives."
" We are appealing for anyone who has any information about the murder, or who may have seen anyone acting suspiciously in the area in the days and weeks leading up to the murder to contact us. We need to get this gun off the streets, and apprehend the killer. "

Most people feel that a good education is one of the best tools to help a child get off to a good start. While a good high school GPA and extracurricular activities are important for college, new research has found that the foundation of a successful academic career is laid much earlier in life.
Little Falls Community Schools has supported an early childhood program in one form or another since 1984. Director of Early Childhood Education, Stacy Gold, took over when her predecessor, Jenelle Peters, retired. Gold continues to develop the program and the services it offers to families around Morrison County.
One of Gold's important resources is the book, "Early Childhood Interventions: Proven Results, Future Promise," by Lynn Karoly. In the book, Karoly examines a wide variety of research studies conducted over the course of 35 years, tracking the academic success of children that benefited from early childhood educational opportunities and those who did not.
In the book, Karoly asserts, "School readiness includes not only cognitive skills but also those associated with socialization, self-regulatory behavior and learning approaches.
"Children with more disadvantaged backgrounds enter school with lower levels of the knowledge and social competencies that are important for subsequent school success. While these readiness measures indicate that children from more enriched environments enter school better prepared, longitudinal data demonstrates that these early gaps persist and even widen as children progress through school," Karoly states in the book.
"I am so very proud of the program we offer the community members in Little Falls. Jenelle did a great job laying the foundation our program is built on," said Gold. "Our enrollment in both Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) and preschool continues to climb. The phenomenal staff that we have is a huge asset as we are often the first face that the public has with the school system."
Gold said she often hears from kindergarten teachers that children who come through the ECFE program are easily identified as more ready for kindergarten.
Little Falls Community Schools offers ECFE classes at Lincoln Elementary, CEC, and Dr. S.G. Knight in Randall, with classes available during the day and evening. The program also offers preschool classes in conjunction with the school year. Classes are available in two or three half-day sessions along with an optional third half-day experience on Fridays in all three elementary sites.
"Studies show that the benefits of preschool include overall academic achievement and school success, less grade repetition and special education and increased high school graduation rates," said Gold.
The benefits of early childhood education and preschool have also been noticed by other area educators.
"Whether we like it or not, kindergarten simply isn't what it used to be when you and I were in school," said Lincoln Elementary kindergarten teacher Julie Alholm.
"Kindergarten has become far more rigorous and academic. For example, your child will be expected to write complete sentences and read when they leave kindergarten. Preschool has taken the place of what you and I probably experienced in kindergarten," Alholm said.
To register their child for 2016-17 preschool, parents will need to attend one of the following sessions: April 18 or 19, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. or 5 p.m. – 7 p.m., at the Little Falls Community High School, near Community Services. Parents in Randall can attend April 21, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. or April 22, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. at Dr. S.G. Knight Elementary.
The Little Falls School District is seeking additional funding as part of the May 10 referendum to help grow the program and to continue to provide high quality early childhood education opportunities for children and families.
"It's an exciting time in our community with the upcoming referendum," said Gold. "In voting yes to question one, you will be supporting not only long-term maintenance needs, academics, security and accessibility, you will also be equipping us with the funding needed to build an addition onto Lincoln Elementary, to house our Early Childhood programs."
She said the current site, "Just doesn't have the room to house our programs. To be able to continue to meet the needs of all students, we need this new location."
Beyond ECFE classes and preschool education, the Early Childhood program also conducts early childhood screenings. These short appointments help to catch developmental issues, sight or hearing problems early, therefore helping to ensure a successful start to kindergarten.
"We want to guide parents in equipping their child with all the support necessary to have a great school career," Gold said.
Early childhood screening is mandated by the state and must be completed before a child enters any preschool program or kindergarten.

Today we added a whole bunch of new types of bulk fossils available for purchase on FossilEra.com These inexpensive fossils make great gifts or educational samples. There are several types of ammonites, trilobites, fossil shark teeth, corals, gastropods, echinoderms and more. Check out out bulk fossils section.
We were a little frustrated at the lack of cool fossil and prehistoric animal posters out there, that were both scientifically accurate, but also looked good. So we recently embarked on a project to design some of our own. We started off with this cool Megalodon infographic poster which we now have avaible for sale in a 24x36" version, which would look pretty sweat hanging on your wall. We have two different styles available. Check them out. You can also find a shareable online version of these posters here.
It's always interesting to be able to show the work that goes into a well prepared fossil specimen. Actually collecting the fossils is often the easier and less time consuming part than the preparation. This is a beautiful preparation sequence of a very spiny Koneprusia trilobite quarried near Foum Zguid, Morocco. Despite being only about an inch and a half in length, nearly 130 hours of work went into this specimen under microscope.
Trilobites are an extinct marine animal that dominated Earth's oceans for 270 million years long before the first dinosaurs. There were over 25k known types some of them with very ornate shells covered in spines. This huge variety and their alien looking appearance makes them very appealing to collectors. We have a huge variety of trilobite fossils for sale ranging from inexpensive, common species to amazing museum quality specimens and everything in between. Buy fossils from us knowing you are getting authentic specimens, at the best value.
The Megalodon was a massive prehistoric shark that grew to lengths of up to 60 feet and went extinct 2.6 million years ago. It had giant teeth that could reach 7 inches in length (though only a handful have ever been found that large). For comparison the largest great white shark teeth did not reach 3 inches in length. Fossils of it's teeth can be found worldwide and are both impressive and terrifying. We have a wide selection of authentic Megalodon fossils for sale, starting around $10 which make great gifts, to collector quality teeth priced at $1,000+.
We have a wide selection of authentic dinosaur teeth for sale. Dinosaurs shed their teeth rapidly as they grew or they became worn and they were composed of a more solid material than bone so they tend to be much more common than complete bones. We have both affordable and premium examples of teeth from several different dinosaurs including Spinosaurus, Raptors, Triceratops, T-Rex, Edmontosaurus, as well as large prehistoric reptiles like Mosasaurus.
Fish have been around in the fossil record for over 500 million years and are one of the most diverse animals on our planet. Fossil fish are some of the most aesthetic and collectable fossils out there. FossilEra has a selection of beautiful fish fossils for sale from the Green River Formation of Wyoming as well as several other locations around the world. Not only do these fish make for beautiful displays but they are tremendously interesting from a scientific and historical perspective.

I've recieved a lot of compliments on my looks lately, and a lot of guys I've known for a while have revealed they think I'm attractive.
However, I've always been insecure about my nose and I hateee it! I made an appointment to get it "done" 4 months from now.
Should I still go ahead with the procedure? I'm almost 100% confident that I want this, but I also need opinions!

that is just asinine. unless you are in some kind of accident it is stupid to change your body. Esp women who want to judge themselves when they are not really qualified to judge themselves or other women.
Being a man I think myself and all men are just flat out unattractive. there are no cute/handsome/hot men. But women seem to think there are. I would take a woman's input over mine.
so yes, take the guys advice and save a ton of money on vanity.11|00|0

A simples guide
Historically, we've not been as gung-ho about switching energy suppliers as a way of saving money as we have other products. Whereas shopping around for our car insurance has become the norm for some of us, around 30% of households have in the past said that they'd never switch energy supplier.
This might be starting to change. Earlier this year Energy UK reported that there's been a record number of switches so far in 2016. It's not hard to see why.
With fluctuating energy prices, not all energy suppliers pass on savings to their customers. You can sometimes find your energy bill is just getting higher and you could be getting a better deal with another provider.
Savings can certainly add up so it could be worth shopping around. Have a look at our Energy Snapshot to find out about some of the savings we've helped our customers make.
Best deals
The best deal for you will always depend on your personal circumstances, but we can tell you the highest saving tariffs that we're seeing each month, which can be found in our Energy Snapshot.
Don't believe any myths you hear about how difficult it is to switch suppliers. These days, switching supplier can be quick – the whole process should be done in no more than 21 days with 70% of energy suppliers thanks to the Energy Switch Guarantee. Switching can be done with no risk whatsoever of leaving yourself without supply.
For those using our website, the process boils down to this:
Switching is probably the best way of saving significant money on your energy bills, but it's not the only way.
If you don't change the price of your energy, you could reduce your bills by using less of it. Pretty obvious yes, but did you know that just a 1°C reduction in your thermostat setting could save you 10% on your heating bill?
Forming good habits will also save your money. Turning lights off when you leave a room, only boiling water in a kettle that you'll actually use and avoiding the use of energy guzzling dishwashers and washer driers until you have full loads will all help.
Other than usage, you could also look at improving the energy efficiency of your home. With grants, such as the Warm Home Discount, possibly available to assist you, spending some money upfront to upgrade your boiler or installing alternative energy sources could pay back handsomely in the long run.
We hope that in this guide, we've answered the question categorically, yes you really could save money by switching energy supplier. We reckon you'll agree that those are sizeable savings too. Find out for yourself today just how easy it is to switch and what you'll save in the process.

Post 2015: reconsidering sustainable development goals: is the environment merely a dimension?
German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut f�r Entwicklungspolitik (DIE), 2013by: German Development Institute/Deutsches Institut f�r Entwicklungspolitik (DIE)
By the end of 2015, the United Nations will adopt a new global development agenda as a follow-up to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). To this end, UN member states are now engaged in a debate on defining universal Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as decided by the 2012 Rio+20 Summit. According to the final declaration of that summit, these goals should �address and incorporate in a balanced way all three dimensions of sustainable development and their interlinkages� and should �be coherent with and integrated into the United Nations development agenda beyond 2015� (� 246).
This wording can be interpreted to mean that there is an agreed effort to build upon the MDGs in drafting the SDGs � that these are sequential and nested steps, not parallel processes, which will culminate in a global agenda for sustainable development by the end of 2015. But the SDGs have one key feature distinguishing them from the MDGs: they will be universal in nature, providing guidance for related domestic policies of all UN member states. This is an important departure from the MDGs, which set quantified and time-bound policy goals for developing countries, and included industrialised nations in a supporting role through development assistance.
The SDG vision � with the potential to reduce barriers both among countries and among sectors � is a logical and needed step. Yet there are many political and institutional obstacles to ensuring an integrated set of goals: transitioning to SDGs will require a change of perspective by negotiators, who must bridge the gap between conventional approaches to economic development and poverty reduction on the one hand, and to environmental sustainability on the other. And it will require a whole-ofgovernment approach, instead of being the exclusive remit of ministries of environment and/or development cooperation.
Several lines of thought favour an integrated set of goals. The idea that environmental concerns can be subordinated to economic growth disregards the fact that our society and economy are bound by a natural biophysical system that sustains life on earth. But human society and nature operate on different time scales: while solutions to human suffering are required now, environmental policies must address the long-term effects of today�s economic actions. The welfare of people today is important, but the welfare of future generations matters too: their fates are intertwined.
A universal set of SDGs can address the difficulties of global and intergenerational burden sharing. Negotiators should not shy away from the complexity this implies, as oversimplified goals will not be fit to the task at hand. The most challenging and important task will be to translate the adopted universal goals into quantified and timebound domestic goals at the country level. Rich countries will have to support developing countries in implementing domestic policies, while rising powers should volunteer to do so, too.

SE: Meet the Newcomers: Megan Deines
To watch K-StateHD.TV's video feature on Megan Deines, please click here.
Megan Deines brings a plethora of collegiate experience to the court for the K-State women's basketball team this season.
The senior guard from Springfield, Missouri, transferred to K-State in August after playing three seasons with and graduating from the University of Louisville.
"I sent my release form to a couple of schools, but I knew I wanted to come here," said Deines who was familiar with K-State after being recruited by the program during her time at Glendale High School. "I really liked K-State coming out of high school, but playing for a top-10 program drew me to Louisville back then."
Though she began her collegiate career with Louisville, Deines said, upon graduation, she was ready for a change. When she found out she could both receive her graduate degree in sociology and continue playing basketball, coming to K-State was a no brainer.
"Megan falls under the grad school rule; she graduated early from Louisville and she has a year of eligibility remaining," explained K-State head coach Jeff Mittie. "We had a need, and felt like she was the right fit for us. She has tremendous experience from Louisville. She played in the National Championship game her freshman year and was a reserve player for them throughout her career. She's a talented player who is going to give us a good option at both the guard and forward spot. She has good size and has got a good feel for the game."
At Louisville, Deines helped the Cardinals to three-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the National Championship game as a freshman in 2013. She played in 94 games with Louisville and averaged 3.9 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.
"Playing for a National Championship, you get to experience what it takes to get there," she said. "You know the work ethic; you have to be dedicated. You have to spend time in the gym, and also spend time in the classroom because if you don't do that, you won't be able to play. A big thing I learned at Louisville was just the work ethic and learning to take (the season) one game at a time."
During her three years with the Cardinals, Deines went up against many, many different basketball teams. Louisville has been a part of three different conferences in the past three years, so Deines has seen it all and is confident she will be able to adjust to Big 12 play with ease.
"Louisville was in three different conferences in three years," she said with a laugh. "We were in the Big East, the American, and then last year we were in the ACC, and the ACC was really tough. Seeing the difference in the conferences over the past three years really taught me about the different levels of competition. Now that I'll be playing in the Big 12, I'll have seen four conferences in four years and that's really exciting."
At 6-foot-1, Deines is a tall guard and describes herself as a versatile, aggressive player who can adjust to almost any position.
However, unlike most newcomers, Deines came to K-State just before school started in August. She spent her summer in Louisville taking 15 credit hours to finish her undergraduate degree. While the team's other newcomers came to K-State in June and have had time to get used to the program, Deines is just now feeling adjusted.
"Megan has been unreal," said junior guard Kindred Wesemann. "She's very athletic and she can adapt to anything we throw at her. She almost knows the entire offense right now. She's working on it – it's something that will take time – but she's already got most of it down and that's wonderful."
Though she will only be with the program for one season, Deines is happy to be a Wildcat. She's ready to get on the court of Bramlage Coliseum and show fans what she is made of.
"K-State was in my top three schools coming in as a senior in high school," Deines said. "I knew the school and I knew Coach Mittie because he was recruiting me when he was at TCU. Overall, I felt like this was the perfect fit for me because of the school, the program and the coach."
K-State women's basketball will begin its 2015-16 season with a pair of exhibition games on Monday, Nov. 2, against Washburn and Monday, Nov. 9, against Pittsburg State. The Wildcats will begin non-conference action on Friday, Nov. 13, at Tulsa. For season or single game tickets, contact the K-State Athletics Ticket Office at (800) 221-CATS or visit www.kstatesports.com/tickets.
We hope you enjoy K-State Sports Extra. We would like to hear your comments and any story ideas for future emails, so fire them our way. Contact Kelly McHugh-Stewart or K-State Assistant AD for Communications Kenny Lannou.

Filmmakers Workshop
Join Adam Short – Development and Program Manager at The Alliance – as he discusses the range of wonderful options available to filmmakers interested in participating in a residency experience.
There are places — hundreds of them, in fact — where artists of all disciplines can go to work on their art: painters and playwrights, filmmakers and fiction writers, composers, choreographers, printmakers and poets, sculptors, scholars, and songwriters. The Alliance of Artists Communities is a national and international association of artists' communities and residencies — a diverse field of more than 1,000 programs worldwide that support artists of all disciplines in the development of new creative work. Supporting today's artists in the creation of new work is essential to human progress — not as a luxury, not as a leisure activity, but as a vital and necessary force in society. Artists' communities are not about retreat; they are about advancement. Advancing creativity. Advancing human progress. Advancing the way we examine the world. In short, they are research-and-development labs for the arts, providing artists with time, space, and support for the creation of new work and the exploration of new ideas.
The workshop is FREE. We ask that you RSVP so that we can have an idea of how many people will attend. As usual, we will have refreshments- please feel free to bring something to add to the table! ALL are welcome to this event and we hope you attend!
Event Schedule:
6:30 – 7:00 pm: Networking/Socializing
7:00 – 8:30 pm: Presentation
8:30 – 9:15 pm: Group Discussion
93 Border Street – West Newton, MA 02465
