Practical Screenwriting
Practical Screenwriting is a structured guide for the novice screenwriter that provides exercises in writing as well as practical guides to analyzing major films in ways that will provide insight into the screenwriting process. It is, first and foremost, a guide to writing clean, crisp, clear scripts that will get read in the crowded contemporary marketplace.
Sensory Writing for Stage and Screen
"Few people live as passionately in the world of writing as Michael Wright, and this exploration of the sensory dimension of creativity enhances any discussion of dramatic writing. Sensory Writing for Stage and Screen through its clever use of a series of 'etudes' invites us into the close-to-the-bone world of human experience on its most intimate level. What we smell, taste, hear, see and feel takes center stage here. Mr. Wright challenges us to create characters as complex as we ourselves are—both celebrants and victims of our own senses. His book evokes the lushness of every human life and reminds us that all great characters (like ancient cities) are composed of layers and layers of their own experience."
—Lee Blessing, Playwright, A Walk in the Woods, Eleemosynary

Queen of the Ring presented another formidable matchup at the No Holds Barred 2 event between SAN ANTONIO, TX up and comer Casey Jay and Don Ladyii, a veteran battler from Queens, NY who was not seen the ring since QOTR's "Caskets or Classics" event in 2014. These two ladies squared up for what became an interesting bout, showing great contrast in styles and giving the audience a group of preferences to choose from.
Casey Jay kicks off the first round with her smooth and unique delivery, getting straight to her wordplay and punching methods. Presenting herself as more of a bar heavy type of battler, she showcases great wit and comfortability in her round.
"You could be Texas Toast in a New York minute", was one of Casey's clever lines that not only sparked a strong reaction from the crowd but establishing herself as a frontrunner for her region in the world of female battle rap. "Bring your whole team, I'll go crazy on your camp/put spaghetti in you and ya dog mouth, I'm killin' lady and the tramp" was another stand out bar from this round, and for the most part was strong in her presence but was shaky towards the end. Nonetheless, the round was solid and was understood; Casey did not come to play that night.
Don Ladyii has a great voice projection, with a sound that echoes around the room, which gives her a slight advantage over Casey in that department.
"It's all about gettin' this hoe in check/Either you pussy or never been to jail/Cause in the bookings the phone free, bitch you ain't gotta call collect" was the opening bar of Don's round that had the crowd hyped and ready for her return. She set a great tone with this bar and was received well. This is a solid definition of a preference battle; predominantly aggression and sharp lines versus delivery and wordplay. Although they both showcase various elements some are standout and work to their advantage in a great way. The crowd was engaged throughout Don's round and showed a more comfortable presence in the ring to that of Casey's, most of the time seen in Rookie versus Veteran type situations. "Your name Case/you known for giving bitches nod" was a particularly clever line from Don, showing that she has different tools in her arsenal. Along with classic Queens references and street content, Don remained in attack mode from start to finish. Judging by bars and wordplay Casey was superior but Don managed to keep the crowd a little more entertained.
As expected, Casey began her second round a lot stronger than her first and started to get a feel for the crowd and atmosphere. Her confidence level went up and she was able to deliver her bars with more fire and aggression. Whether Don Ladyii woke Casey up or not, she was much more in control of her content and composure. Dragging Stargirl Ladyred, Bill Collector and Ms Hustle into the dialogue made for great entertainment and proper reception from the crowd. It was evident that the Texas upstart was picking up steam. Casey seemed to joke more with Don and the crowd this round with personals and clever lines not as potent as the first, but it gave her second round a totally different feel, showing that she stays away from redundancy in her performance. Towards the end, she resorted to more personal content about her family upbringings, showing a personal side of Casey that the fans could connect to. It made for great versatility and showed that she could set her own tone. Don continued in her second round with the same aggression and had flashes of wit with lines like "I fold her like a futon/head shots won't miss that dome/she Jimmy Neutron" (which was delivered really well btw) however it was a feel similar to her first, and didn't showcase the same overall creativity and confidence that she began with. Her round was solidly executed but Casey gathered enough momentum to make the battle highly debatable to this point.
Casey Jay managed to maintain her confidence and aggression in the final round, developing a signature and technical delivery that could probably fit on a beat (if you listen close). "You suck so much d*#k, the sh*t you say is nuts now" was a standout line from this round, showcasing a unique punchline style, but unfortunately ended her round significantly shorter than the others.
Don Ladyii commanded more attention in this round, with rebuttals and more thought provoking and real content, in response to Casey's second round. She also did a good job of switching to more jokey, light hearted content, a tactic in keeping the crowd entertained. Don has great cadence and projection which can be a problem for opponents who otherwise have a quicker or more complex presentation. It could be argued that Casey came into the battle with a chip on her shoulder facing a battler with a little more experience but she proved that she can be comfortable and go toe to toe with anyone on the roster.
All in all, Don's veteran prowess shined through in this battle, and although the overall content was slightly
more advanced in Casey's favor, Ladyii possibly gave Casey a lesson in performance that she needed to take
her to the next level. Casey Jay is one of the most promising upstarts in QOTR at the current moment and
from this battle we expect her to have much greater performances in the future. -CHIN

Experimental cancer centres across the UK have been given a £35 million funding boost in order to continue early stage cancer drug trials and research.
The Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (ECMC) network is a group of 18 centres across the UK that test new drugs on dying patients who no longer respond to chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Since the network launched in 2006 it has already supported more than 600 early phase studies across all major cancer types. In November, the network of labs announced a new project which will see the genes of 9,000 patients tested in a bid to improve therapies.
Harpal Kumar, Cancer Research UK's chief executive, said: "We are incredibly grateful to our supporters, without whom it would not be possible to invest in this lifesaving work."
"The research these patients are involved in now will help provide the new treatments of the future. By contributing to this vital work, they are helping us make huge progress towards beating cancer."
The Cardiff Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre is part of the ECMC network, and is to receive £2m in funding from the Welsh government and cancer research UK over the next 5 years.
This unit has been focusing on research into acute myeloid leukaemia, a blood cancer with about 2,000 new cases every year in the UK. Professor Keith Lloyd, head of the Welsh government's National Institute for Social Care and Health Research, said:
"The work being done in Cardiff could lead to new treatments for the disease, so it is vital that funding has been secured."
Patients with private medical insurance will also benefit from this funding boost. Health insurance customers often have access to new drugs and treatments which are not available for use on the NHS, so compare health insurance quotes online now.
Health Insurance quotes from only £15 per month!
Very helpful and polite and always try their best to obtain the best quotes. Have been using them for the last 3 years and will continue to use them in the future.
A great service from the initial call, to finalising the agreement. I would highly recommend to my family and friends.
Proactive, efficient, and offered me insurance I need. I would say half price I would end up paying if I did it by myself. Many thanks.
Excellent service. Explained everything in detail and really helped to find the right insurance best suited to my needs - which wasn't necessarily the most expensive.
Good value and the advisor was very helpful and recommended the best policy for my grandson. I would definitely use this service again and recommend to others.
We were contacted in good time to make a knowledgable choice. We were given plenty of options with lots of information to enable us to make the right choice.
The service I received was excellent, the staff member was very efficient and knowledgable. She went out of her way to get the best policy for me.
Great service. I really appreciated the help provided by Active Quote to arrange health insurance. The agent was very informative and proactive. Many thanks!
I received excellent care and attention from the first phone call till the last. Friendly, efficient and patient.
Staff are very helpful, friendly and polite. They call back when they say they will and keep you up to date with progress. Pleasure to deal with.

If you have faith small as a mustard seed, you could move that mountain. However, there are only a few who have such as faith. And of these most do not want to move mountains.
About trials in life. These are God given opportunities for us to define us as who we really are? That is the purpose of life.
When you define yourself you define yourself for all eternity.
So make that your finest hour or moment.It is part of God's perfect plan for you. God is merely answering the prayers of your soul who is seeking the grandest achievement for yourself. After all trials and tribulations do not last forever. Chose and define yourself wisely as it is a great opportunity to be your grand self.

Absolutely yes. For me personally I have moved that mountain that have been trying to derail GOD'S perfect will for my life which I have accomplished with my 2 hubs that have broken the barriers to stop my articles in their tracks but have failed now as of April 20, 2011 A.D. The Google new changes have put my 2 hubs over the top as I waited patiently to do what I knew it was doing all along. I written 2 hubs of excellent quality content that have been on page 1 and first on the list with Google respectively from September 2010 A.D. on my 0 hubs and April 17, 2011 A.D. with my published hub that I published on April 16, 2011A.D. I had many mountains to stop this from happening from August 1, 1982 A.D. a Sunday morning GOD shown me in a vision of the other side of death and April 20, 2011 A.D. when both of my hubs have climb to the top of the mountain of Google and hubpages and will stay there forevermore from April 20, 2011 A.D. and onward. It has been a great journey and I would like to thank Google for the new changes which have provided the path for my 2 excellent quality content hubs to overcome all the negativity and have established itself as the classic hubs for all generations. I would like to thank GOD which have made this possible and also Google and hubpages especially for banning me from the forums back in October 2010 A.D. for my own good and protect my excellent hub that I had written at that time and I was attacked every which way but loose. Thank you hubpages.

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey, whose 2011 season was cut short after the Marlins' Scott Cousins crashed into him at the plate, said Tuesday that a home plate collision rule adopted by Major League Baseball and its players does a good thing by eliminating "malicious collisions."
"I've always said that the main thing is for everybody to be comfortable with it, that the catchers and runners are protected," Posey, addressing the rule change for the first time, said from Scottsdale, Ariz.
Posey, an all-star catcher, sustained a broken bone in his lower left leg and three torn ligaments in his ankle in the May 2011 collision, an injury that helped intensify debate over plate collisions. Posey returned in 2012 to win the National League MVP award.
The new rule, in what both sides said was a one-year experiment, allows collisions if the catcher has the ball and is blocking the runner's direct path to home plate, and if the catcher goes into the
basepath to field a throw to the plate.
The rule states that "a runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher [or other player covering home plate]." A runner violating the rule will be declared out, even if the fielder drops the ball.
The umpire crew chief can use the new video-review system to determine whether the rule was violated.
"I have always set up in front of the plate, where the runner can have part of the plate," Posey said.
Tony Clark, the new executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, asked for Posey's input in helping both sides shape the rule. "They got a lot of different input," Posey said.
"The way I look at it, I don't see that drastic of a change," he added. "The hardest part will be for umpires to make a judgment, although having the replay might help."
Manager Bruce Bochy, himself a former major-league catcher, was pleased with the change.
"I've been for it. It's time for a change," he said. "You want to protect the catcher, not just in the majors but the minors. Guys [baserunners] are getting bigger and stronger all the time."

McDonnell Douglas Helicopters Hughes 369E, G-KSWI
While flying in the cruise at an altitude of 2,200 ft amsl, it is probable that the helicopter sustained a mechanical failure that resulted in the loss of pitch control to one of the tail rotor blades. During the subsequent attempt to land in a field, the airspeed reduced to the point where directional control of the helicopter seems to have been insufficient to maintain heading. At a height of approximately 50 ft, the helicopter yawed rapidly to the right before the rotation ceased and it developed a high rate of descent. The helicopter struck the ground heavily and was destroyed. The pilot survived but sustained serious injuries. There was no fire.
The investigation established the presence of fatigue cracks emanating from corrosion pits on the tail rotor blade pitch horn on one blade, which led to its failure. Also, the associated tail rotor pitch link had failed. The sequence of the two failures could not be established but either could explain the helicopter's behaviour before it crashed. Neither the failed section of this tail rotor blade pitch horn nor the associated pitch link were recovered from the accident site.
Four Safety Recommendations are made.

I'd like to find some places that are very entertaining to eat at.
Perhaps the food is served in a strange manner or the decor is really bizarre.
I don't really care what type of food it is, but I'd like to keep it as close to downtown Toronto as possible.
An example would be something like Sushi Train which has Sushi served on a conveyor belt or Fune that has floating Sushi boats. (please tell me there is more than Sushi!)
If there is anything even close to this automated German restaurant, I'd love to know about it.

Mechanical theorem proving is an important subject in artificial intelligence. It has been applied to many areasprogram analysis, program synthesis, deductive question-answering systems, problem-solving systems, and robot technology.
This classic text provides a thorough discussion of mechanical theorem proving and its applications as well as an introduction to symbolic logic. A purely model-theoretic approach to first-order logic is adopted, and the book emphasizes efficient computer implementations of proof techniques.
Appropriate for both undergraduates and graduate courses in theorem proving, this text is also suitable as a supplementary textbook in artificial intelligence to provide the student with a background in mechanical theorem proving and application areas.

One picture, two buildings
The Horne Sanatorium -- located in the Heights -- was named after Dr. J. Alvin Horne. It didn't last long under his management. The building, which later became the Texas Christian Sanitarium, apparently burned in 1915, according to this Web site.
Both pictures were taken around 1907. St. Agnes Academy was founded in 1905, so it wasn't around for very long in this picture. A brief history on St. Agnes Academy can be found on its Web site.

Inspiron 560 components on a new motherboard?
Since my Inspiron 560 is overheating when I run more than 2 programs at once and since I have a gaming case which I planned to use once I got all my new equiptment but this problem of overheating came along so I thought of using it with the components from my Inspiron 560. I was wondering, can the components be used on a new motherboard? Before I tried moving the motherboard and all to the new case but that didn't work because the motherboard didn't have the right connectors, I asked around and people said the motherboard was made for the case, this made me think, are the other components made for the case as well?
Im planning on getting a Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3 AMD 870 motherboard which fits the job. I think I will have to get a new power supply since it's only 300watts. Also some more RAM since its 533MHz which is sorta awkward
I think most the components will fit (cpu, gpu, hdd drive and card reader) but with people saying the motherboard was made for the case that confused me.

well if your technical enough what you could do if the cpu is overheating is remove the cpu and clean the old thermal paste and and re-apply a new thermal paste and see if that fixes your overheating...it will only cost you no more than $20 to ssee if that helps...which in past overheating problems applying new thermal paste fixed the problem for me! its very simple procedure to do

I will give it a try when I get some more thermal paste! Since dell had to replace the motherboard and graphics card around 6 months ago the paste should be fairly freshish but i'll give it a try.

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Earphones ReviewValue & Conclusion »
Performance & DurabilityTo test these earphones properly I tested them against other earphones in roughly the same price category with the same test gear. Before doing any direct comparisons I carefully matched the volume in order to produce a fairer picture of the earphones. My main earphone rig consists of the following parts: Cowon D2, solid silver interconnect, Ray Samuels Tomahawk portable earphone amplifier on low gain. Ultimate Ears has basically started from scratch when it comes to the design of the Super.fi 5 earphones. The balanced armature is located so that it fires upwards and into some form of deflector plate. Then the sound is brought to the ear canal through a relatively long and large diameter sound tube. In the sound tube there is a non replaceable filter which both shapes the sound and prevents foreign objects from entering the more critical parts of the construction.
Right from the start I was quite impressed with the sound quality of the new Super.fi 5 earphones. The mids are very clear, and forward without being overly dominant. What is worth noticing is that these earphones have a very good and balanced midrange with an ample amount of detailing and texture. Very enjoyable with guitar and vocal based music. Another thing which really pops out in your head while you are listening to these in-ears is the sound stage, it is quite large. Not only in terms of left and right, but also the depth is quite impressive. It is not on par with that of earphones such as the LiveWires T1, but it can definitely compete with the much more expensive Sleek-Audio SA6 in this particular performance category.
Overall the frequency response is not as smooth, but that is really what you would expect from an earphone in this category. The bass is rolled off even when using the RSA Tomahawk which adds a decent amount of bass. Also the amount of bass and midbass is not quite right. The earphones can sound a bit hollow on bass intense tracks, it simply fades out too quickly. The bass does not sound full and is not as defined as other more expensive earphones. Sleek-Audio SA6s and LiveWires are way more competent in the bass area both in terms of quality and quantity. The bass extension is quite good but the amount of bass at deep tones is not sufficient for bassheads. I find it to be a little below what I consider optimal for my kind of music, i.e. rock and trip-hop, but again that is a matter of personal preference. I am sure a lot of people will find the Super.fi 5s to have enough bass for their needs.
The treble is good and is detailed enough not to leave you wanting more right away. The extension is not quite as good as that of the Sleek-Audio SA6s which really excel in this particular area. Treble intensity wise the Super.fi 5s are a bit below that of the Sleek-Audio SA6s so it is not quite as engaging or emphasized. The cymbals also sound more natural on the Sleek-Audio SA6s and on the LiveWires for that matter, but it is really just a question of these earphones being a bit more refined.
Overall I find the new Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 to be a good and entertaining listening experience because of the impressive sound stage and precise mids. Both the treble and bass leave me wanting just a bit more in order to be fully satisfied. Compared to the price, the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 are incredibly good, The last drops of performance are what costs the major bucks. The Super.fi 5 covers all the basics and it covers them well, right from ergonomics to sound quality. As an added bonus the level of microphonic noise is quite low.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan 4 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge extended until Jan. 27 a restraining order that halted a new Texas regulation requiring fetal tissue remains to be buried or cremated to allow for more time to make a ruling, the judge said on Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks has heard two days of testimony this week on the regulation that the state contends is aimed at maintaining the highest standards of human dignity. Abortion rights groups contend it is an unnecessary and vague regulation aimed at making abortions more arduous and expensive.
Sparks last month put the regulation on hold before it was to take effect on Dec. 19. He had previously issued a temporary restraining order to delay enactment until at least Jan. 6.

ICC World Cup: Guptill takes NZ to 157-7 in washed out warmup vs Zim
Christshurch: Martin Guptill made a century to support a mediocre batting effort as New Zealand stumbled to 157-7 Monday in a rain-reduced Cricket World Cup warm-up match against Zimbabwe.
Martin Guptill
New Zealand's innings at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval was finally halted by rain after 30.1 overs and the match was
later abandoned. After Guptill, who made his century from 85 balls, Ross Taylor with 11 was the only other New Zealand batsman to reach double figures.
Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura (2-21) and Tinashe Payangara (2-28) led an outstanding Zimbabwe bowling effort.
Of New Zealand's leading batsmen, Brendon McCullum made 8 before being caught and bowled by Payangara.

14th Annual East Asia Security Symposium: Conference
China Foreign Affairs University, Beijing
30 June 2017
Fundamental Principles of Asia-Pacific Security Cooperation
The 2017 conference – Fundamental Principles of Asia-Pacific Security Cooperation – will focus on new research in fields such as diplomacy, global political economy, history, international conflict management, international relations, peace studies and strategic studies. Participants in this ongoing series of conferences represent numerous disciplines, and often employ inter-disciplinary methods in developing their research.
Participants will explore the principles of Asia-Pacific security aiming to identify areas for collaboration, the risks of competition and emerging conflict, and how best to manage the perceived interest of states for significant re-definition of security cooperation. On January 11 China's White Paper titled China's Policies on Asia-Pacific Cooperation was published and in the United States President Trump's administration is revising policy, norms and expectations. Events and issues are thus to be recast within the disturbed setting.
与会者将探讨亚太地区安全原则,以确定合作领域、竞争和出现冲突的风险,以及如何平衡各国的利益,为该地区的安全合作赋予新的内涵。1月11日,中国发布了名为《中国亚太合作政策》的白皮书;针对亚太地区,美国特朗普政府也正在重新制定政策、规范和期望。 因此,在这个风起云涌的地区,一系列事件和问题将发生彻底的变化。
The subjects to be deliberated include the South and East China Seas' territorial issues and UNCLOS. The Korean peninsula and nuclear weapons programs and delivery systems. The roles of middle and small powers within the region (e.g. Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam). Japan and Taiwan's place within the region and their hub and spokes links to the US Alliance system. Trade and trade mechanisms (e.g. America-first smart trade, Belt Road Initiative, Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, Trans-Pacific Partnership-1).
Beyond the conference theme all paper proposals with a China focus are considered. Exemplar issues that may be deliberated include the overt extension of Chinese maritime capacity (into the Indian Ocean, to Africa and the Americas); new visions of bilateral, regional or multilateral relations such as the TPP-1 or the AIIB; new fields of interaction across the playing fields, of for example, global economies, technology, cyber security and even space; new theoretical concepts and critiques; the differing roles of great, middle or small powers; the pace, place and conceptions of development and democracy with regard to security, stability and other political and economic goods. Our 2017 theme – Fundamental Principles of Asia-Pacific Security Cooperation – looks to synthesize and generate multi-disciplinary reviews and analysis. What are your ideas? Share and publish them through the East Asia Security Symposium and Conference!
Peer Reviewed Research Output Opportunities
The conference offers participants two peer-reviewed research output opportunities.
- Peer-Reviewed Conference Paper: Those participants wishing to have their conference paper peer-reviewed and published may request this in consultation with the conference directors and should do so prior to the conference. The East Asian Studies Center at China Foreign Affairs University regularly publishes peer reviewed papers as does the East Asia Security Centre's Peer-reviewed Publishing Site at Bond University. You may publish in English, Mandarin or both.
- Book Chapter: From previous conference presentations Routledge has published the book China's Strategic Priorities (2016). Bond University Press published Chinese Engagements: Regional Issues with Global Implications (2011). Both books have been co-edited by the directors of the conference Brett McCormick and Jonathan H. Ping. Our expectation is to continue compiling appropriately related papers for similar book publications.
Format and Eligibility
Conference presentations are ten minutes in length; all customary presentation facilities are provided. All registered participants in the East Asia Security Symposium are eligible to present papers. Non symposium participants are able to present but must submit an abstract (500 words) for review prior to the conference and pay a US$220 conference fee. Applicants will be notified of acceptance within two weeks of abstract submission.

Bemidji's Healthy Community Healthy Kids ceases to exist
Healthy Community Healthy Kids has dissolved.
The Bemidji nonprofit organization that focused on primary prevention dissolved effective Dec. 31 due to lack of funding.
Beth DeKrey, a member of the HCHK board of directors and the organization's management team, said the board's priority is to continue the services HCHK offered by finding new homes for its programs.
At the time it dissolved, HCHK included the Suicide Prevention Program, Kinship North and the Bemidji Youth Advisory Commission. A fourth program - the Youth Asset Building Program - ended last summer due to lack of funding.
"It's a really sad thing that we would have to do this," said Gail Skare, a member of the HCHK board and management team.
Evergreen House, another Bemidji nonprofit organization, has taken the Suicide Prevention Program under its wing.
After learning that HCHK was considering dissolving, a number of people approached Evergreen House with the hope it would take over the program, said Becky Schueller, executive director of Evergreen House.
"We've made the decision to do that," Schueller said.
She said currently all funders of the program have agreed to transfer the suicide prevention funding to Evergreen House.
Suicide Prevention Coordinator Stephanie Downy and the program moved from HCHK to Evergreen Shelter in Bemidji effective Jan. 1. Schueller said housing the program at the youth crisis shelter is a good fit.
She also said Evergreen House is "very interested in Kinship North."
At the time HCHK dissolved, the mentoring program had 25 matches with about five children on the waiting list.
Schueller said Evergreen House is now working on securing bridge funding to allow the Suicide Prevention Program and Kinship North to move to Evergreen House and adequate time to develop new resources to make sure the programs can continue.
The Evergreen House Board of Directors also decided to take over the fiscal agent role for the Bemidji Skate and Bike Association. Evergreen House had served as the fiscal agent for the association until March. HCHK then assumed the role.
The BYAC needs a new home. The commission's activities include advising the Bemidji City Council on youth issues and organizing several youth events during the year.
"You have kids really involved, working hard and seeing results," DeKrey said.
Funding faded
A group of concerned citizens established HCHK in October 1994. The organization started with money from the Blandin Foundation and had been supported by grants ever since.
However, funding all but ran out. While HCHK still had money for the Suicide Prevention Program, it was not enough to maintain the HCHK office.
HCHK had a total of three employees. All three received termination letters from the organization.
"This is an example of what's happening with nonprofits," Schueller said.
Moving programs to Evergreen House, she said, is an example of the collaboration that many people predict is going to become part of the nonprofit landscape in light of the current economic situation.
Success shared
HCHK's work was based on research by Search Institute of Minneapolis that outlines a youth development model, which describes 40 building blocks (assets) that all youth need to grow to be healthy, productive citizens, according to the organization's Web site.
Throughout the years, Skare said, HCHK has impacted the community in many ways.
HCHK was the charter organization for the Boys and Girls Club of the Bemidji Area.
"It was born here," said Barry Yocom, a member of the HCHK board and management team.
HCHK also wrote the first implementation grant for what is now the Beltrami Area Service Collaborative.
Additionally, HCHK assisted more than 2,000 children through its Youth Asset Building Program. The program awarded scholarships to youth to help them pay fees to participate in activities.
With the cooperation of local schools, HCHK administered the Search Institute's Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors survey every four years. DeKrey said local nonprofits use data generated by the surveys for grant writing.
Yocom said HCHK is grateful for the businesses, foundations, individuals and organizations that have helped make the organization successful.

In an MVVM framework, are the following assumptions correct?
1) ServiceAgents can be, and are often "thin", defining only the interface that it requires for it's scope.
2) There could be a many of these ServiceAgents in a project?
3) A ViewModel may require more than 1 serviceAgent to get work done?
OR should I look at a ViewModel having an association with only 1 ServiceAgent?

I just finished a nice blog addition to my site and is going OK. here is the thing: I publish Articles that giving to me to use by my Affiliate Vendors. I don't write them ! The comments I am getting is about how my writing is nice and am getting invites to post on other blogs. I am not a writer, I am not a blogger, I am an affiliate marketer who tries to sell products by all means and one of them is my blog. My question is: Is it ethical? Am I doing something wrong? Am I allowed to do that?

There is nothing unethical about copying and pasting articles handed out by merchants. Foolish, maybe because it gives no one a reason to seek out your site as opposed to all the other sites with the same thing pasted on them, but not unethical.
Why would people laugh about an affiliate concerned with ethics? A lot of affiliates I know think ethics are rather important.

How about just rephrasing the article from the merchant? Maybe omit those thing you think isn't important and add a couple of unique ideas.

Pantheon Build Guide by diabuddha
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Pantheon Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Ok. So here is the way I normally build pantheon. I build him for survivability based on attack speed and crit power. It may not make you carry your team but it will make sure that you will survive to be able to finish what your teammates cant! So here we go!
For my quints i go with
Greater Quintessence of Desolation I use the greater quintessence of desolation, so many times you can get blocked from a kill simply by a little bit of armor, so we solve the problem in the rune page!
The reason i chose these for my marks is since my build doesnt put a huge amount of focus on building attack damage its nice to have some from the rune page, also having the flat damage for the start of the game is very useful
Main reason for this choice.... survivability, this build uses next to no armor and survives based on lifesteal, so early game some armor is a nice way to make sure you can survive.
Here i deviate from a few of the other pantheon guides, I prefer having higher mr at the beginning of the game because there are many items that i like that can give me more if needed, however the per level runes would not be a bad choice either.
I realise that my items are diferent from a lot of builds which arent wrong but they arent m style so here is my explanation:
: I normally buy 1 of these to start then another after my tier one boots, they are a great stackable and give good damage and lifesteal however after wriggles or zeal i normally sell them as their usefulness begins to wear off.
: Boots are always suited for whichever game you are in, but these are my standby choice because with attack speed comes more lifesteal (and if you pick a wits end more mr)
Madreds Razors : i get these as the first part of wriggles because we already have the lifesteal we need from the dorans blades which will be replaced once we get wriggles
: Good item for armor, lifesteal, and damage. Also the freeward can save you from ganks when placed correctly.
: Attack speed, crit chance, and movement speed. good item plus this gets your shield back up quicker!
: More attack damage! not to mention more crit chance and crit damage! all around good item!
: incresed speed crit chance and movement speed!
: Ima level with you i dont have a specific end item, at the point in the game where you could get it it really just depends on what you want, id suggest something with attack speed though (if you havent noticed yet i like attack speed)
Optional/Also good items
: good attack speed and a great item for helping you take down those annoying ap carries!
: A good item for attack speed and health, plus its always fun to see lightning bounce around on the enemy champions!
: Help your friends! If you wanna be a nice helpful player pick up this item if the other team has a lot of armor!
There are many more useful items that can be put on pantheon, I'll add more later but these are the main ones that i normally get.
Skill Sequence
Aegis Shield This is, of course, your passive. Its a nice little shield that blocks either the next turret hit, or the next basic attack. Its a nice little helper when needing to dive just a tiny bit for a kill. Its also nice for stopping ashes super crit when she waits to hit you! However it doesnt block abilities so your shield is useful but its not gonna save you if you play stupid.
This is what i max first. Its incredibly useful for poking early game, as well as criting a champ as they flee. It also scales well of of attack damage. Its a great pking tool but keep in mind that you dont have a ton of mana so use it wisely at least at the start of the game.
I max this one last. This is a very useful stun, which can be used to get a kill, save a teammate, or stop an enemy in tower range. It doesnt work on minions so it cant be used to flee, also since you are sorta squishy you probably wanna be careful when you use it.
I max this one second. Its passive is incredibly useful and awesome. Once an enemy champ is below 15% health you are garunteed to crit! YAY this makes it way easier to duke it out with an enemy champ since your main goal is just 15% while theirs is 0. Also this is a good skill to thin out minion wave and to deal a good bit of damage to a stunned champion or to a few charging champions(although you should try not to allow yourself to be charged by many champs).
This is your ult. Now it may be tempting to use this to initiate but DO NOT DO THIS. trust me the giant circle is a dead give away and if you jump into a group of enemy champs without backup being forthecoming you will get owned you can only stun one, leaving the others to pounce on you. You ult is useful for ganking (when backed up), getting into a team fight (after it has started), catching fleeing champions, and finally going behind a tower to finish off a champ (lots of fun!).
Summoner Spells
Ignite, the backbone of so many summoners kills. I enjoy this spell a lot because of the true damage and the continued health decay. Its very useful for finishing off a fleeing champ or for wearing one down that has a heal (although most people would say this is a waste, which it probably is_)
Flash, another classic choice. Its great for escaping and for jumping in to get the last hit for that crit (little rhyme there!). With practice this can get you over walls and let you escape easily into jungle!
Other Good Ones
Ghost, great for all around getting places, running away, and of course chasing enemy.
Nice for getting you back to lane when you have to go b a little early also helps you get where you need to be to support team mates.
Good one for slowing down the enemy champ so you can get in range for your spear or stun, also good for escapes and helping your team.
Well there it is, my first guide. Please dont downvote without trying it, or at least an explanation of why. As I know I'm not the best player in the world I would love to here suggestions on how to better this build. Changes will come with when I find something new or feel like adding more explanations!

With such a large market place of untapped prospects, you should know the correct cloud for your business and discover an ideal cloud host company in India. But with many different variations and choices, it gets hard to decide on a cloud which best suits your business, specially in the Indian native marketplace.

Sense Volunteering Survey 2015
Sense is supported by 1,800 volunteers who make a huge contribution to how we support and promote the interests of deafblind people and their families.
Earlier this year, we asked volunteers for their feedback about their overall experience of their involvement with Sense. The survey was done in conjunction with the Staff Opinion Survey so we could look at the results of everybody who supports the work we do. We received responses from 35 per cent our volunteers, which is an excellent result for this type of survey.
We'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey and all the staff who helped get it to our volunteers.
Download the highlights of the volunteering survey
Celebrating success
Volunteers told us that we are offering high quality opportunities to volunteer which match what they are looking to get out of volunteering and which have a clear benefit to deafblind people and their families.
Volunteers also consistently praised the Sense staff they work with for their support and guidance, which is a hugely positive testament to the hard work and commitment of shop and deputy shop managers, project coordinators, team leaders and many others who manage volunteers across Sense.
In 2015:
- 97 per cent of Sense volunteers were proud to volunteer for Sense.
- 94 per cent said they would willingly put in extra effort to help the organisation.
- 97 per cent would wholeheartedly recommend Sense as a good place to volunteer
- 97 per cent said people here are treated equally irrespective of ethnicity, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation or religion
"Totally enjoy my time with the staff and volunteers – great team, great support."
"The best thing I've ever been part of. I have made new friends and it's helped my self-confidence too."
"The experience has always been positive and I have felt valued as a volunteer and welcomed back each year."
Where volunteers have told us we can do better
The survey results have also provided a wealth of constructive critical feedback which will help Sense to develop its work with volunteers further. A number of themes were consistent across the responses including the importance of good inductions, the importance of seeing our "I" statements in action, and the need to better celebrate the work that our volunteers do.
The next steps we'll take to respond include:
- Continue to support staff to provide better inductions for their volunteers
- Continue to work with teams across Sense to develop new opportunities and promote the achievements of volunteers
- Improving how we share news about volunteering achievements and new opportunities across and between teams
- Make sure our volunteers know about other opportunities to give time for Sense
