Value shouldn't be a demeaning word; Shimano's Ultegra 11-speed mechanical groupset continues to offer more bang-for-your-buck than any other group in the component world. The Orca OMR frame is the same one raced by Team Cofidis - 150g lighter than the OMP Orca, and almost 250g lighter than last year's frame. At the same time, the new Orca is stiffer – to improve efficiency when you put power to the pedals. We even improved comfort by reshaping and refining the layup schedule on the seatstays, seatpost, and top tube. It's a bike with plenty of durability for heavy training as well as the lightness and efficiency for serious competition. The Orca M20 Cofidis Replica will help you take your first victory at the cash register. The triumphs on the road will be up.

Dr. Greer is a fantastic doctor. He is smart, compassionate, and an amazing surgeon. You can really tell that he cares deeply about his patients. I had very bad cataracts in both eyes and was almost totally blind, including one eye which was so severe that it could have become blind permanently. Due to Dr. Greer's wonderful skill, I am proud to say that I have 20/20 vision in both eyes now! A true miracle worker who gave me my life back
Highly Recommend

His call back. Dr. Greer called me the following work day to find out how I was and asked me to come back in for a second look! WOW! and at no extra charge ! I also was told by him, after wearing glasses for over 8 yrs., (and going to eye clinics that also sold glasses), that I didn't need them! What a shock, my headaches are gone and now I see much better than before especially at night. I was only his patient for a month when I had an accident and he saw me the same day, amazing!

Understanding Causes and Remedies for Dark Circles Under Eyes
If you have noticed the dark under eyes circles, you may be looking for some idea of what is going on. One of the biggest myths out there is that your life is causing these dark circles to appear. But, you would be far from the mark if you assume that. These dark under eyes circles come from the discolored blood cells that escape the blood vessels themselves. This natural process happens in all parts of the body. However, the skin under the eyes is very thin. As these cells escape, they tend to build up in this area and their bluish color shows through the skin. That is part of understanding dark under eyes circles.
Your body naturally produces these dark under eyes circles as part of recapturing escaped blood cells. The tiniest blood vessels in the body are the capillaries. These wee little vessels provide the link between the arteries and the veins. They are so small the blood cells go through one at a time. By the time, the blood cells are ready to move from the arteries to the veins, they have delivered their oxygen load. Blood cells appear red when rich with oxygen and blue once they offload the oxygen. The cells are a bluish-purple color when they do not have the oxygen hanging on. These dark under eyes circles are the bluish cells ganged up under a thin bit of skin.
The dark under eyes circles are the same as the bruising you see when you hit something too hard. The little capillaries sustain damage and start leaking the blood cells out. They accumulate in the bruised area and produce the lovely bluish-purple that appear within minutes of a hard bump or as dark under eyes circles. The other colors associated with bruises come as the body works to break down the escaped blood cells. Many people may have a hint of dark under eyes circles with yellow or other colors as well. One of the little known facts about bruising is that it happens easier in women. Thus, most people with dark under eyes circles are women.
How do you get rid of dark under eyes circles? There are home remedies. There are excellent products on the market that can help as well. Some people rely on good makeup to do the trick. But the first step in getting rid of dark under eyes circles is realizing what causes them. And that is what you just found out.
Top Eye Creams
Also Remember These Dermatologist Recommended Important Tips:
- Age has nothing to do with the lines that appear on the corners of your eyes... it's a combination of heredity and careless abuse of the area.
- Skin is skin... it all needs to be cared for in one way or another. For my younger readers, this means not pulling on the skin when removing eye makeup.
- The eye area is prone to fine lines and wrinkles, so it is really important not over-work the area, squint, and stay away from smokey rooms. Your eyes won't like that either.
- One of the best ways to protect this area of your face is to put on a pair of sunglasses every single time you go outside spring, summer, fall and winter.
- There are very few oil glands in the eye area, so it can dry out very quickly, especially if you spend a great deal of time out of doors.
- When you chose an eye cream, be sure to choose one that is especially formulated for this delicate skin. Don't use a day cream that could be full of ingredients that will irritate this area. Too rich a cream can cause as many problems as ignoring the area.

THE woggle remains, but almost everything else in the Scout uniform is changing in the movement's biggest style revolution in 34 years.
|Moving with the times: it's out with the old outfit, left, and in with the new
Fleeces, bright turquoise polo shirts for young Beaver Scouts, navy combat trousers and teal green sweatshirts are more casual than the 1967 uniform they replace.
The uniforms, designed by Meg Andrew, 29, who runs her own label in east London, are one more step away from the military-style uniforms of Lord Baden-Powell's day, when Scouts wore shorts and carried staves. "Unfortunately, you can't carry staves in the street any more," said a spokesman.
The Scouts' old forest green shirt has been abandoned for a more contemporary teal green shirt in a lighter fabric with button-down collar. An optional navy baseball cap can now be worn, rather than the flat-brimmed khaki creation, with chin strap, which Baden-Powell approved in 1908, a year after the movement started.
Ms Andrew said she hoped the new look would encourage more children to join the Scouts. "If they're not joining the Scouts because they're embarrassed by the clothes it's a great shame," she said. She had designed them as "activity wear", particularly aimed at outdoor pursuits, rather than as fashion items.
There are more than 525,000 members of The Scout Association in Britain, ranging from Beaver Scouts, aged from six to eight, to Venture Scouts, aged between 15 and 20. Both boys and girls can be members, and the new uniform gives girls the option of a navy blue skirt.
Gregory Carlton, seven, a Beaver Scout from Sible Hedingham, near Braintree, Essex, said he thought the bright turquoise top was "a more fun colour - grey's a bit dull". He welcomed trousers with pockets. Cherrelle Baker, 10, and Joanne Neal, 10, Cub Scouts from Leyton, east London, said it would not be necessary to change out of the new uniform when they got back from scouting.
The association consulted more than 46,000 members over the designs, which were launched yesterday on Founder's Day, the 144th anniversary of Baden-Powell's birth. The uniforms will be introduced gradually over the next two years to help ease the strain on parents' pockets.

Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle has been spotted entering Trump Tower, ground zero for the president-elect's transition team, and is expected to return again this week to discuss the position of White House press secretary.
Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham is also under consideration for the job, which Kellyanne Conway has already turned down.
According to Politico, the Trump administration is expected to finish selecting top White House staff by the end of the week.
Guilfoyle, a Latina, is a host on Fox News' The Five, and a former assistant district attorney in San Francisco.
"Do you want a white male representing the White House when half the country thinks the President is a misogynist?" said a member of Trump's inner circle who hopes the position will go to Guilfoyle. "Who do you want talking about immigration? A Latino. When you have to make decisions about pro-life justices, do you want a man or a woman?"
Another selling point for Guilfoyle is that she has friendly relationships with many of the people who are closest to Trump, including his daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner.

The Ghazal
The ghazal — one of the forms that will be considered in this spring's Jersey City Writers poetry competition — dates back to seventh-century Arabia. As the form flourished in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Persia (Hafiz and Rumi are two well-known Persian writers of ghazals from this period), it can now be found in many languages, […]
The Pantoum
The pantoum originated in Malaysia in the fifteenth-century as a short folk poem, typically made up of two rhyming couplets that were recited or sung. However, as the pantoum spread and Western writers altered and adapted the form, the importance of rhyming and brevity diminished. The modern pantoum is a poem of any length, composed […]
The Sonnet
The word sonnet is derived from a word that means "little song" in Italian. Sonnets were originally inspired by Italian folk songs sung by peasants. The songs consisted of octaves (8 lined stanzas), and Giacomo da Lentino, who is credited with the sonnet's invention, added 6 more lines to the octave to make the sonnet, […]
The Limerick
A limerick is a humorous poem consisting of five lines. The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm. […]

On future challenges
I think the industry itself does face some significant challenges: from a macro perspective we are, as an industry, largely dependent on global commodity prices of dairy products, so your cheeses, fats, powders, etc.
That will always remain a challenge and out of our control, as are climatic conditions, as are exchange rates and the other macro factors we need to be aware of and understand, as driving forces that we need to contemplate.
The country itself: there are challenges with water availability, the price of water, electricity, gas, the price of that and the costs that increase generally. But the revenue is linked to commodity prices which fluctuates.
Hopefully coming out of what has been slightly over two years of depressed commodity prices; since last August they improved and are sitting now just slightly below the 10-year average, but still not at levels that are really attractive or impressive.
From global to industry, from industry to Murray Goulburn, I think the primary challenges are well articulated: the first one is to restore supplier-based confidence in the co-op.
They own the co-op, we know what has happened over the course of the last year and obviously there is still some anger and angst in that area.
As a fresh management team, we need to take the opportunity to set in some stability, set in calmness and hopefully restore that pride in their co-op.
For us, delivering on our commitments and promises, being transparent, being open, being engaging and equally the suppliers understanding they are owners: it's their business and the business is there for their best interests.
It's easy to say, I appreciate it's going to take a long journey and overnight success normally takes about 10 years, so I do expect there is going to be a journey and I'm comfortable with that.
On opportunities and excitement
The dairy industry and Murray Goulburn are incredibly important and I think they're very iconic and fantastic.
When I left my last job, I'd been with SAB Miller for 27 years, and the company had been taken over. About a year before the takeover when the courting started, I decided I was going to exit.
It was a terrific career but I was content to move on and I decided for the next four months I wasn't going to make any decisions or get involved in any discussions around next steps. I was going to take a good four-month summer break and in February, I'd start looking and considering options.
There was a soft knock on my door one day: it was a head hunter, and I was flattered. He presented me with the opportunity for that role, and on the 13th of February I started working, so I never really got that full break.
For me, I just look at it — it's so important, it's so iconic, it's got so much opportunity, it's a very intriguing and complex industry. To have the opportunity to try and navigate through its next phase ticked every box and I said I'd be delighted to have the chance.
On the Cobram facility
I can't speak about the specifics of individual sites and it has been well-reported since October when the board announced it was going to embark on a footprint or asset review.
That is still very much in progress, we have to show that we are competitive, that we've got the right facilities in the right areas.
It's a journey and we're still working through that, there's no definitive time on the horizon. We're going to do it properly, we're going to do it thoroughly.
I have been impressed by the degree of progress that has been made to date, but it still is very much work in progress.
With regards to Cobram, I've just come from the facility there where I had an opportunity to speak to and meet all the staff, to see the new cut and wrap and slice and shred facility, which is magnificently impressive and is certainly state-of-the-art.
Something I think that really stands us in good stead going forward in terms of being able to improve is our efficiencies, our quality, innovation in packaging.
Subsequently to the cheese processing area, which I haven't been through prior, so I haven't seen the physical process of making cheese: my mind just started jumping to opportunities on how best to leverage what is a fantastic facility; and as I understand, the largest cheese processing or manufacturing facility in Australia/New Zealand.
It makes a fantastic array of differently maturing cheddars, mozzarella, parmesan cheese that stands for 18 months before we even give the consumer an opportunity to engage with it.
I just think there's so much opportunity for differentiating our products in a relevant way to our consumers and communicating it, which starts in a factory.
So if we make that different product there, that's relevant and appropriate and applicable to consumers, translated through good communication and have a delightful offering, I think the future looks very bright.
On the volume decline
Dairy Australia reported that for the six months ended December 2016, total volume produced was down 9.9 per cent and that that was on the back largely of a particularly wet September, I think it was the wettest recorded September in 50 years, so it had a very adverse impact on the spring calvers and the milk quantity.
Coupled with the fact that there were quite depressed commodity prices, a lot of farmers took the decision not to invest more in feed, but to have a lower volume because the price being paid didn't justify the incremental investment.
MG's volume intake for that same period was down by slightly over 20 per cent.
Basically everyone was down 10 per cent, we were the ones who suffered the decline because many of our competitors then went to restore their volume they'd lost by contracting some of our farmers.
Having said that, I think some of our suppliers believed it was appropriate for them to move on because they felt they'd been treated inappropriately by MG in terms of the MSSP (Milk Supply Support Package).
What we saw over that six-month period, which was very unique I understand historically, was of that 20 per cent decline, about 12 per cent went to our competitors.
(The other) went to climatic conditions and retirements, so we also saw additional farmers exiting dairy, to beef or other forms of agriculture or exiting entirely and retiring.
On the short term future
The strategy is still evolving and it's still very much a work in progress, which is why this road trip is so beneficial.
I think the very first component of the strategy is to ensure some degree of stability and trust and confidence and that will be an ongoing journey.
It's not a sequential strategy, it will run in parallel and that will be central.
We intend to be very open, engaging, deliberate, transparent, accessible to all stakeholders but specifically our suppliers who we can't do without and hopefully they can't do without us.
We still remain by far the largest processor in Australia and process approximately one billion litres more than the next largest processor.
And fortunately for us, the next largest processor's reputation also isn't that great: while I understand we've given people reason to leave, I believe they also haven't been as well perceived as they'd like to be.
I think we need to get our asset review conducted and completed and then we need to look for our growth opportunities.
I think the value-add opportunity is a particularly good strategy, I think we need to, in consumer goods and commodity processes, move up the value chain, create differentiation in the factory that is relevant to the consumer.
If we're able to do that there will be a greater benefit for the suppliers.
The final part of the strategy that's evolving is looking at those export opportunities and I'm convinced, that particularly a market like China, lends itself to Australian dairy and agriculture and if we can have the right market, right distribution network and the right degree of patience to get there, then we can look forward to success in that area.

From time to time, a writer bursts on to the scene with a compelling novel of such extraordinary power, maturity, and insight that it leaves an indelible mark. Such is the case with Loida Maritza Pérez, whose luminous storytelling will captivate you even as it breaks your heart. Iliana believed that by attending a college more than five hours from New York City, she could gain independence and escape the watchful eyes of her overprotective, religiously conservative parents. She soon realizes, however, that familial bonds are impossible to break, and that barriers created by time and distance can be easily collapsed. A disembodied voice which Iliana believes is her mother's haunts her nights with disturbing news about her sisters: Marina is careening toward a mental breakdown; Beatriz has disappeared; Rebecca continues in an abusive and dysfunctional marriage. Convinced that she might be of help, Iliana reluctantly returns to New York City. In this dislocating urban environment, she confronts all the contradictions, superstitions, joys, and pains of someone caught between two cultures but who is intent on finding a home. Narrated in electrifying prose and inhabited by characters who are as boldly imaginative as they are completely believable, Geographies of Home is a stunningly original debut from a major new literary talent.
Geographies is not a women's or black or Hispanic or immigrant novel, even though it has elements of all of those. It's a riveting, haunting tale of survival that will force you to rethink your perceptions of Hispanic life, big families, mental illness and home.

First Posted: 1/20/2015
SCRANTON — Standing inside the Rossetti Trust home, one may think he or she is in a castle in Europe, rather than a large house in Lackawanna County. With chandeliers hanging in practically every room of the building, ornate antiques and artwork filling every corner and crevice and a palette of colors covering the ceilings and carpets, the atmosphere of the place is one that, according to local actor and playwright Robert Hughes, must be experienced for oneself in order to understand.
The Clarks Summit resident will help give community members an opportunity to do just that at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 1, when he will present at the venue a dramatic reading of Don McKeon's one-act play, "A Closed Mouth - A Wise Head."
"The ambience of the place," Hughes said of the mansion, "is just spectacular."
The play tells the story of an Irish catholic priest, who, upon his father's death, seeks to solve the puzzle of the man's past.
"It is a light-hearted mystery based on a real life death bed teaser," reads the author's description. "The characters in the play (all four portrayed by Hughes) were real people and all related to the playwright. The plot centers around two ($50) bills, which were carried around for (30) years in the wallet of Thomas Francis McKeon, son of the master sleuth Father Kinnard. Solving the mystery entails delving into his father's past, his connection with Buffalo Bill Cody in the wild west of the late 1800's and his dubious association with the infamous outlaws of the that time, Frank and Jesse James."
Tickets are $10 and benefit the Lackawanna Historical Society. Reservations can be obtained by calling the society at 570-344-3841 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hughes will also perform the same play at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25 at Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Church, 1217 Prospect Ave., Scranton. Tickets are $5 and benefit the Youth of St. Paul of the Cross Parish. For information, call the church at 570-343-6420.
Both performances will also feature the vocals of opera singer Eileen Hanisch, who will present four songs, interspersed throughout the play.
A native of Tulsa, Okla., Hanisch is currently an adjunct professor at Marywood University and music director at St. Michaels' Roman Catholic Parish in Scranton. Her regional experience includes work with Marywood Orchestra, the Northeast Pennsylvania Choral Society, Mostly Opera, Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre, WVIA's Simply Grand Concert Series and Hazleton's Autumn Carousel Concert Series.
Hughes, who is a native of Scranton, began his acting career in 1960 with his longtime friend and mentor, the late Jason Miller. He continues to entertain audiences throughout the region with various theater groups, in addition to writing and starring in is own one-man piece, "The Miner's Tale."
He is also currently perfecting a new play, based on the life of John Mitchell, founder of the modern day labor movement, to debut Oct. 29 at the Anthracite Museum in Scranton.
With a passion for local theater and a desire to see a regional renaissance of art in NEPA, Hughes expressed great excitement and gratitude toward the Rossetti Trust, which he said is looking to use their home as "a performance space for theatrical offerings and solo performances for actors, singers and musicians."
"The Rossetti family home," he said, "is a unique setting that celebrates European culture and art, which is an extraordinary treasure to the the region, especially Lackawanna County."
But, it doesn't stop there.
"We want to celebrate the culture of Northeastern Pennsylvania, as well," he said. "And this is a gathering place for people to come in the area and discover the experience of history."

NCPA "Hybrid" Plan for Personal Retirement Accounts
October 19, 2001
The federal government can fulfill its promises to younger workers without raising payroll taxes when today's 20-year-olds retire, according to a plan proposed by the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA).
The plan presented by NCPA President John C. Goodman to the president's Commission to Strengthen Social Security (CSSS) would solve the system's long-term financial problems.
The NCPA "hybrid" plan combines features of various proposals. It would allow workers to put 2 percentage points of their payroll taxes into personal retirement accounts (PRAs). These funds would be invested in broad-based portfolios (70 percent stocks/30 percent bonds). Individuals would be free to choose their PRA manager, but in order to ensure adequate rates of return could not select more risky or less risky portfolios.
According to the plan:
- The federal government would guarantee every worker the same benefits promised under the current Social Security system.
- Retirees would receive two monthly benefit checks: one from their PRA and another from the government, equal to the promised benefit level.
- If a worker died early, dependents could inherit the PRA funds, provided they are not needed to pay any dependent's promised benefits.
- To eliminate inequities currently faced by working women and divorcees, married couples would be required to divide their PRA funds equally when contributions are made; each spouse would also be guaranteed currently promised minimum benefits.
- Once accounts have grown large enough, workers could annuitize their promised benefits and withdraw any extra PRA funds for personal use.
Texas A&M economist Andy Rettenmaier estimates that by 2050 retirees would receive more than half their promised Social Security benefit from their PRA. In that and all future years, the payroll tax needed to fund the remainder of promised benefits would be no higher than today's.

This happens all too often: You have a new ride, it drives super smooth, you're digging the sleek interior, but your stock speaker system is less than mediocre.
In most cases, the stock speakers are just about the last thing a car manufacturer thinks about when they are building your car. Factory systems have definitely improved over the past few years, but many so-called factory options for "premium" systems still use relatively inexpensive speakers and low power amps that don't deliver top-notch sound for the money you pay as part of the car purchase. You can make a big difference in your system's sound quality by installing a nice set of Phoenix Gold aftermarket speakers.
IMMEDIATELY HEAR THE DIFFERENCE: First you'll notice an increase in your ability to turn up the volume, followed by tighter bass response with more definition and clarity. You'll then start picking up on little details in familiar songs that you've never even heard before. Suddenly the song you thought you knew every beat to sounds like a brand new tune with more detail.
If you're looking for an easy upgrade without breaking the bank, look no further than our aftermarket speakers. Replacement speakers give you maximum bang for your buck, making them a good first step on the road to better sound.

A deserted cabin deep in the woods. One door, one window. The window is boarded up. The former resident - a recluse - is deceased. Is there a story here?
Estate liquidators make a living disposing of the personal effects of deceased persons. Typically these are elderly people who may have lived alone, and were considered a bit strange because of their aloofness. But as the liquidator goes through the effects of the deceased, they occasionally find a story. Letters, pictures, and other artifacts prove that this person was once young, vibrant, sexy, full of hopes dreams, and possibly, intriguing and mysterious.
Here, Ambrose Bierce explorers some possibilities of the strange person that lived in the cabin with the boarded up window.

In the tradition of both The Lean Startup and Lean In, a manifesto about taking smart risks in pursuit of big dreams.
Linda Rottenberg has spent her career helping innovators think big. "If people aren't calling you crazy, you aren't thinking big enough," she says. These days taking chances isn't just for young college dropouts in hoodies. Whether you work at a Fortune 500 company, a non-profit, or a mom-and pop store, everybody needs to think and act like a changemaker. We all need to be nimble, adaptive, daring, and maybe even a little crazy, or risk being left behind.
But how do you take smart risks and still achieve big success? That's Rottenberg's expertise as the CEO and cofounder of Endeavor, the world's leading organization devoted to identifying, mentoring, and investing in fast-growing businesses. Since 1997, Endeavor has screened 40,000 candidates and handpicked 1,000 entrepreneurs in 20 countries - then helped them take the crucial steps to grow their organizations and transform their communities. In 2012, Endeavor entrepreneurs generated six billion in revenues and provided 225,000 jobs.
Now Rottenberg draws on her unique experience to show how we can all take manageable steps to achieve our dreams. Crazy Is a Compliment offers a blend of inspiring stories and practical tools for getting started, going bigger, and integrating work and family. As she writes, "Since everybody has to take risks these days, we all need to be able to derisk risk."
Written with wisdom, wit, and passion, Crazy is a Compliment is a rallying cry for a new approach to business and a blueprint for personal change. The good news is that anybody can initiate those changes. "There are no admission criteria. There is no wardrobe requirement. There is no secret vote. Entrepreneurship is for everyone."
©2014 Linda Rottenberg (P)2014 Penguin Group
"must read for any entrepreneur "
loved the book! thanks linda. i highly recommend any entrepreneur to read this book. a lot of good stories
"Brimming with stories!"
An enjoyable book through and through! I love how Linda Rottenberg read it, enjoyed all the anecdotes she cited and appreciated all the the insights she shared. What a wonderfully comprehensive gift to entrepreneurs (and all readers). I will definitely come back to it again and again, and share her words of wisdom.
I have a newfound respect for Endeavor and hope to be an Endeavor entrepreneur one day. My kind of community development.
"Awesome book..."
Awesome book and great way to end with dedication to your daughters. I to believe you can have great success in business and run a successful household. Kudos to your success with Endeavor and with this book. I am a new big fan.
"Very interesting & thought provoking"
Very interesting & thought provoking
You will enjoy this book - history and what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Motivational. This is not a how to book- it provides real world examples & warns of vanity metrics.
"Relatable and relevant"
As a female entrepreneur this book was very relevant and structured in a way that's easy to relate to as she pulls from the well-known founders and brands to illustrate points. Highly recommend to all females in business.
A beautiful marriage between Linda's voice, her storytelling, and guidance. Simply delicious.
Like Linda said, it's about taking risks while not risking it all. Zig while everyone Zags. Keep yourself in check first, spend time with your loved one(s), and just Do It.
"Common pitfalls are included with success stories"
If you have limited time, the audio version is a great way to digest the book. The subject matter suits an audio book just fine. There is nothing overly complicated that would be lost without having the text in front of you.
I personally think Linda has a great voice. I really like it when authors read their own books. You get the proper tone and inflection than if it were read from some other possibly relatively disinterested third-party.
The Startup mentality isn't just for Silicon Valley.
"Loved the book I wish there was pdf download"
Yes, it encouraged me, inspired and gave me direction. Not only great stories, but this book is a powerful tool for the crazies. Focus Focus. I want to know where I can go for comprehensive personality test.
Personality test, knowing your personality type weaknesses etc.
Her telling her own story passionately from the heart. Which made huge difference
I laughed and had allot of Aha moments.
Please add PDFs download for the personality tests. I would have like to take a few. So I can see were I fall. Key guide to support the audible version. Great resource for all the people that have been called crazy.
"Very good book"
I really enjoyed this book. The author backs up her ideas with proven stories from people from well known companies.

Published: Wednesday 28th January 2015 by The News Editor
Filming of some court proceedings in Scotland should be allowed for live transmission, the country's most senior judge has announced.
Lord Gill said that it should be allowed in the case of civil and criminal appeals and legal debates in civil "first instance" proceedings.
Criminal trials may be filmed for documentary purposes, but not in cases involving children, sexual offences and vulnerable witnesses, and only "in certain circumstances and subject to certain safeguards".
Filming should be subject to "robust, clear and comprehensive guidelines", Lord Gill said.
The recommendations were contained in a report on the televising of proceedings in court which was carried out by Lady Dorrian.
Lord Gill, the Lord President, said he accepted all of the recommendations in the report, which was published today.
He said that filming the judge delivering sentencing remarks should be allowed, with filming focused only on the judge.
Filming for documentary purposes may also be allowed in first instance civil business but should exclude certain cases, such as those involving family and immigration matters.
However, no live transmission should be allowed for any criminal first instance business, or for first instance civil proceedings involving witnesses.
The judge says he intends to issue guidance to the media and may consult with them further on practical points.
Lord Gill announced the findings of the report at the Holyrood Digital Justice Conference today.
He also set out the timetable for implementing reforms contained in the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
The bill, which became law in November, is designed to make access to the civil justice system quicker and reduce costs and delays for litigants, who previously have had to take civil cases of more than £5,000 to the Court of Session for resolution.
Lord Gill said: "The whole purpose of these reforms is to maximise the efficiency and the output of the courts.
"We can no longer allow the progress of an action to be dictated by the convenience of the parties or their lawyers. The court has interests and responsibilities of its own.
"The new regime is logical and rational. It is long overdue. I am confident that the legal profession will adapt to it and contribute to its success."
Legislation meaning sheriffs can now deal with cases up to £100,000 will take effect in September, Lord Gill said.
That month a new specialist personal injury court will be established in Edinburgh to free up the Court of Session to focus on more complex cases while a national Sheriff Appeal Court will be established.
At first, the Sheriff Appeal Court will have jurisdiction for criminal cases and after January 2016 will also have jurisdiction in civil cases.
Under the new law, summary sheriffs will deal with some types of criminal and civil cases in the sheriff courts and the process of appointing them will start in July.
Sheriff Principal Mhairi Stephen QC will be appointed as President of the Sheriff Appeal Court.
In his speech, Lord Gill considered the impact of technology on the legal system and predicted a move towards the "paperless court" and the "virtual court".
He said: "Digital innovation is essential if we are to improve access to justice, reduce time and expense for the litigant, and ease the administrative burden on our court staff.
"But access to justice should not operate solely in favour of those already using the system.
"Access to justice encompasses a broader aim – to open our courts to public scrutiny and to public understanding and, in that way, to de-mystify our law and its procedures."
Lord Gill also announced that he plans to launch a feasibility study into the creation of an Energy and Natural Resources Court in the Court of Session.
James Wolffe, QC, Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, said: "I welcome the Lord President's vision of a civil court system responsive to the needs of litigants which harnesses technology to serve the ends of justice. In making that vision a reality, the legal profession – both advocates and solicitors – will have a key role to play.
"It is now time to put controversy behind us and to get on with the job of making justice work for all the people of Scotland. The Faculty of Advocates – Scotland's national bar – stands ready for that task.
"The civil justice system matters. An efficient and effective court system, along with a skilled and independent legal profession, underpins and guarantees a just and economically successful society.
"The Lord President's announcement that he intends to carry out a feasibility study on the creation of an Energy and Natural Resources Court in the Court of Session – a proposal which I support – should send a powerful signal that the Scottish courts, along with Scotland's highly skilled legal profession, mean business."
Journalists should also be allowed to use Twitter in the courtroom if they have registered with the Scottish Court Service or have the judge's permission.
Lord Gill said: "Journalists who register with the Scottish Court Service to gain access to the electronic portal-based system should also be required to undertake compliance with the Contempt of Court Act.
"Journalists so registered should be permitted to use live text-based communication. Any person who is not on the register should require the permission of the presiding judge."

Here is our comprehensive guide on how to store vegetables. It includes detailed instructions on how to store every type of vegetable and fruits from Apples to Zucchini.
Eating the right foods to stay healthy is a part of everyday life. We all strive to eat less processed food, but that means we have to indulge in foods that are fresh. It can be a challenge to know how to store these types of food properly, so that you can keep them from going bad. Fruits and Veggies have the biggest potential of going bad before you have the chance to eat them. With proper storage, you can prolong their freshness, and be able to have fruits and veggies on hand for longer periods of time.
Safety should always be considered, as you never want to contaminate your fresh veggies and fruit. When they are stored properly, you will be able to eat them without the worry of potential health risk.
Using the right storage methods will give your produce optimum freshness, and you will be able to get the most out of your veggie and fruit purchases.
There are a few reasons why food storage is so important. You want to ensure that the foods that you are eating are safe. This means, they should not have been introduced to any contamination during the storage process. Plus, you want to keep your produce fresh without having to deal with mold or decay.
When you store your fruits and veggies correctly, you will not have to worry about unwanted waste. This will help decrease the amount of money you are spending on fresh produce, and then having to throw it away before you eat it. None of us go to the grocery store and buy produce with the thought of throwing it away in a few days. However, this happens a lot of the time. The biggest reason for produce going bad before you have the chance to eat it, is because of the way it is stored. Proper storage of your fruits and veggies will decrease waste and help save you money.
Safety is the main reason why it is important that your food is stored correctly. Some foods need to be kept in the fridge because bacteria can grow on it if it is introduced to warm temperatures. If you ingest food that contains certain bacteria, you could get food poisoning. This will make you very sick, and you will experience a variety of health issues.
There are a number of other things that could affect your fridge's temperature, such as how many times the door is being open, if there is an issue with the door seal, the amount of products in the fridge, and the temperature that the food is when it is placed in the fridge.
You will need to make sure that your fridge is on the right temperature, so that bacteria does not grow. Your fridge needs to be set between 35 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit. If for any reason the dial is not working on your fridge, you could check that it is set at the right temperature by using a thermometer. Try to keep the fridge door closed when not getting something out of it. This will help decrease the amount of environmental changes the food inside will go through.
If you have cooked a meal and have leftovers to store, always let them cool before putting them in the fridge. It is never a good idea to put hot food in a cold refrigerator. This could cause issues with the food spoiling, as well as having an effect on the dish that you are storing it in.
The fuller your fridge is, the cooler the temperature will need to be. When you have a lot stored in your fridge, it will affect the temperature. Ensure that you clean your fridge out often, so that food does not become cross contaminated, and everything is evenly cooled.
Here are a few tips that you want to keep in mind for storing food in your fridge.
The great thing about storing food in a freezer is, you can keep food on hand without it going bad quickly. This will help decrease the amount of waste. Plus, you are safe to freeze foods for a long period of time. This is a very popular method for those who like to grow their own fruits and veggies.
The thing you have to be aware of when freezing food, is that the texture and taste may change. Some foods cannot be frozen for long periods of time, because they are affected in a negative way. However, the way you store your foods and the containers that you use will make a huge difference in the outcome of your frozen fruits and veggies.
Knowing how to store your produce and the length of time it can be stored for, is the key to freezing food properly.
Here are some tips that will help you store raw or cooked foods properly.
If you use fruits and veggies from a can, you need to transfer them to a bowl with a lid if you do not eat the whole can. They can then be placed in the fridge until you are ready to eat them again.
You can not store food in a can once it has been opened. Nor do you want to re-use cans to store food. Once food is introduced into the air, the tin contaminates the food. However, this would not ring true for those products that are sold in a can that has a resealable lid. These types of products will not react to the tin.
When you are using cling film or foil to cover your food, you need to ensure that you are using it correctly. Make sure that the food you are storing is ok to wrap with cling film. You can look at the description on the side of the box.
Here are some tips to remember when using cling film.
Kitchen foil is very handy to keep around, as you can quickly cover food. However, you have to be aware that acidic foods should not be wrapped in foil. These include tomatoes, rhubarb, cabbage and other soft fruits. Be aware that the aluminium in foil can cause an alteration in the way the food taste when stored for long periods of time.
Now that you understand the importance of storing food properly, we have some tips to share with you on how to store specific fruits and veggies. Remember, storage is key to keeping your food safe to eat and fresh.
They say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" Well, if that is true, then you will want to keep plenty on hand all the time. Apples need to be stored in the fridge, as this will extend their life. Be aware, that one bad apple can easily cause issues with the whole batch. Therefore, you will want to eat any apples that have bruises first. If you want to store apples for long periods of time, you can place them in a cardboard box and cover them with a damp towel.
Artichokes need to be put into an airtight container that is lined with a damp towel. This will give them the moisture they need to stay fresh. They then need to be placed in the fridge.
Asparagus needs to be kept in the fridge. After you make your asparagus purchase, you will need to trim the base of the stock. Then place them in a jar with an inch of water in it. You could also wrap the ends with a moist paper towel if you do not want to place them in a jar.
If your avocado is not ripe when you first purchase it, you can speed up this process by putting it in a paper bag with an apple. Once the avocado is ripe, it will need to be stored in the fridge. You can mix the avocado with lime or lemon juice to help keep it fresh, or allow the pit to stay in and slowly brown.
Bananas need to be stored on your counter top, and should not be in the same area as other fruit. These delicious little treats let off ethylene gas, which can contaminate other fruits and veggies. Bananas can be frozen, but you will need to remove the peel first.
This herb is known as a warm weather crop. It can turn black when placed in the fridge. Therefore, basil needs to be stored on the counter top in a glass of water. Think of it as putting flowers in water, as this is the best way to keep basil fresh. You can also wrap the stems in a damp towel, and store in an airtight container.
There are two types of beans that you may want to store, canned and dry. Cooked Beans need to be stored in their own liquid or water and placed in the fridge. Dry beans need to be stored in an airtight container and placed in a cool and dry place. You can freeze cooked beans in a freezer container, with their liquid on them.
Green beans that have not yet been washed, need to be put in an airtight container and placed in the fridge. When green beans become wet, they will ruin easily. You can also freeze green beans. They can be stored raw or blanched.
Beets should be stored in the fridge. You will want to remove the green top, and place them in an airtight container. Place a dry paper towel inside to collect moisture. If you wish to freeze your beets, you will need to begin by blanching them, and then placing them in an airtight container.
You will need to de-stem all berries before storage can occur. Also, cut out any bad spots, because one bad berry can ruin a batch. Place unwashed berries in an airtight container. Be careful not to put too many in a container, as they can become crushed. Berries are fragile and should be handled with care.
It is best to store your berries unwashed, because moisture will increase your chances of mold. To freeze them, simply put them in an airtight container and place in the freezer. You can also freeze them on a cooking sheet, and then transfer them to an airtight container, as this will prevent them from freezing together. Wash your berries before you eat them.
Bitter Melon should be placed in an airtight container and put in the drawer in your fridge. This melon can be frozen, but it must be sautéed first. When storing in the freezer, be sure that it is in an airtight container to prevent frost from forming.
Broccoli can be stored as it is, and placed in the fridge. If you wish, you can wrap it in a damp towel or cotton bag to keep it fresh for a longer period's of time. If you wish to freeze broccoli, you will need to blanch it first.
It needs to be placed in the crisper in an open container. This veggie has a tendency to spoil quickly, so it will need to be eaten soon after it has been purchased.
Loose Brussels sprouts will need to be put in an open container with a damp towel on top of them. They then need to be placed in the fridge. If the sprouts are on a stalk, then you can leave them on there, and place in the fridge or a cold place.
Cabbage needs to be put in the crisper in the fridge. Never put cabbage in the door of the fridge, as this is one of the warmest spots and it can cause it to spoil quickly. When the cabbage begins to wilt, you will want to discard the outer leaves. This veggie has a tendency of going bad quicker than other produce.
Carrots will need the tops cut off, as this will keep them fresh for longer periods of time. You can either place your carrots in the fridge in a container that is airtight, or in a container of water. They should be put in the crisper, as this will keep them the right temperature.

Keep celery in the fridge. It can be placed in an airtight container, or a container of water. Celery can also be washed, dried and placed in the freezer.
Always store your cherries in the fridge. You do not want to wash them before storing, as this can cause mold to form. Wash them right before you eat them. If the cherries are pitted and washed, they can be placed in the freezer. Ensure you use an airtight container, so that no frost forms on them.
Citrus fruits include grapefruits, lemons, limes and oranges. You can keep citrus fruit loose and place in your fridge's crisper. It can also be stored in an airtight container. When you cut a lemon or lime in half, you will want to place a damp towel over the cut end. This will help keep it moist. Citrus fruit can be placed in the freezer, as long as it is stored in an airtight container.
You will want to keep the husk on the corn and store it in the fridge. It is best to eat the corn soon after it is refrigerated, as it will lose some of its flavor and texture the longer that it sits. You can blanch corn and freeze it on or off the cob. Make sure to put it in freezer friendly storage containers or bags.
Place the cucumber in a glass or water with the stalk side down, or wrap it in a damp towel. It will need to be put into the fridge.
If you have dry dates, then they can be placed on the counter in a bowl. For dates that are moist, they will need to be put in the fridge in a cloth or paper bag. The goal is to keep moisture away from the skin of the date.

Put fennel in a container with a lid on it, and place it in the fridge. You will want to add a bit of water to the container, or you can place it in a water filled cup.
Figs should be put in a paper bag or on a plate in the fridge. Ensure they are not introduced to moisture. Figs are delicate, so you will want to store them in a single layer.
Garlic needs to be stored in an area that is cool and dark. It should not share a space with other produce, as it releases ethylene gas.
Ensure you store grapes that are free of spoiled fruit. Place them in an airtight container, and keep in the fridge. Do not wash them before storage. You can freeze grapes to use in smoothies or for frozen treats. You will want to freeze them on a cookie sheet in a single layer, then transfer to an airtight container once they have reached a frozen state.
Greens you can cook include beet greens, bok choy, broccoli raab, collards, dandelion greens, kale, mustard greens, spinach, Swiss chard, tat soi and turnip greens. These types of greens will need to be placed in an airtight container, and be put in the fridge with a moist cloth. The moist cloth will keep the greens from drying out. Greens that have stems, can be placed in a cup of water and then stored in the fridge.
Salad Greens includes any greens that you would eat fresh, such as arugula, com mache, endive, lettuce, mizuna, radicchio, sorrel and spinach. Place these greens in an airtight container and put in the fridge with a moist paper towel. If you wish to have crisp greens, then you can soak them in cold water for 30 minutes. This method will help those greens that have gone limp.
Wrap green onions in a moist cloth, or store in a glass jar of water. Put enough water in to cover the white part of the onion. Place them in the fridge, and ensure you remove any bands that have been placed on the bunch. Freeze green onions by deicing, and storing in freezer containers.
Herbs need to be put in an airtight container in the fridge. Fresh herbs will need to be used within a week of purchase, as mold can quickly set in.

Onions will need to be placed in an area that is cool and dark. They should not be stacked, as they need adequate air circulation. For an onion that is partially used, you will need to place it in an airtight container and store in the fridge. Do not store onions with potatoes, as they can cause them to sprout.
To prolong the life of a pear, it will need to be stored in the fridge. Pears can be placed in the crisper, or in an open bowl on the shelf of your fridge. Over ripe pears can be used in various recipes.
Peas will need to be stored in an airtight container. If you wish to freeze fresh peas, they will need to be blanched first.
Peppers can be placed in the crisper in your fridge. Do not wash them until you are ready to eat them. When storing a partially eaten pepper, keep the stem and seed intact as this will prolong their life. You can freeze peppers raw or blanch them.
You will want to allow a persimmon to ripen before placing it in the fridge. If you wish to quicken the riping period, the persimmon can be stored in a paper bag with some apples. You will not want to stack them, as this fruit is delicate.
This fruit can be stored on the counter. However, to prolong its life, you can store it in an open bowl in the fridge.
Potatoes need to be kept in a cool, dry and dark place. It will need to be warmer than the temperature of a fridge. They are best placed in a box in a corner of your pantry or in a paper sack. Potatoes can quickly rot when introduced to light and moisture. Onions will cause them to sprout, so you do not want to store the two together. Apples do a great job keeping your potatoes from sprouting. So, if you wish to store potatoes for long periods of time, you should combine apples with them.
Place radicchio in a container with no lid, as you will want to drape a damp cloth over the top.
Place rhubarb in the fridge in an open container and wrapped in a moist towel.
Root veggies include celery root, parsnips, radishes, rutabagas and turnips. Before you can store a root vegetable, you will need to remove all green parts.

Place in an open container in the fridge, wrap in a moist towel.
Rutabagas should be stored in a cool, dark and humid area. You can also place it in a closed container in the crisper. This will help decrease moisture.
There are various types of squash, which includes acorn, butternut, pumpkin and winter squash. All of them need to be placed in a cool, dark area that is ventilated well.
Stone fruit includes peaches, plums, nectarines and apricots. They need to be placed in an area that is cool, so they can properly ripen. When the fruit has reached it ripen stage, it can be stored openly in the fridge. Stone fruit can be frozen.
Place sweet potatoes in an area that is cool, dark and well ventilated. They do not like the cold, so they should not be put in the fridge.
Tomatoes are diverse, as they can be stored on the counter or in the fridge. However, once they get very ripe you will want to place them in the fridge. This fruit gives off ethylene gas, which can contaminate other fruits and veggies. It should be stored alone. Tomatoes can be frozen in a raw state or cooked. If you want to ripen a tomato, it can be placed in a paper bag with an apple.
Zucchini need to be stored in the fridge, and it should be wrapped in a damp towel. It can be frozen raw or blanched. Ensure you place it in an airtight container when freezing.
Before you store your veggies, you will want to remove all ties and rubber bands. Trim off the leafy ends, but ensure you leave about an inch to help deter drying out. If vegetables are being stored in the fridge in a bag, the bag needs to have holes. This will allow air to flow, and help maintain freshness. You should never stack veggies or pack them too tightly when storing, as this will increase their chances of spoiling. It is best to store your vegetables, and wash before you eat them. Moisture during storage could introduce mold.
There are certain fruits that will ripen quickly if placed on the counter top. These include avocados, tomatoes, mangoes, melons, apples, and pears. However, other fruits need to be stored in the fridge right away, such as grapes, all citrus fruits and berries. Bananas have the ability to ripen quickly, so you will want to eat them soon after you purchase them.
Many people do not know what a crisper drawer is, nor do they understand the humidity notch that appears on it. Most use the drawer for foods that won't fit on their shelves in the fridge, but this drawer does have a purpose. Learning how to use the crisper drawer in your fridge will help prolong the life of your produce.
If this drawer contains an adjustable notch, then you will notice a high and low setting. These will gage the humidity the content receives. They will open and close a vent that is in the drawer. If you want a low humidity setting, then the window will need to be all the way open. For a high humidity setting, it will be completely closed.
In general, the ideal is to place things in the crisper drawer that can easily rot, as you can control the amount of humidity they are receiving and prolong their life. A low humidity setting, will help produce that lets off ethylene gas, such as apples and pears. When the vent in the drawer is open, this gas will have a chance to escape. With this gas being carried away from the produce that is being stored, they have a better chance of staying fresh for a longer period of time.
Some produce will wilt, and these types of produce will need to be stored in the crisper drawer with a high humidity setting. These would include arugula, spinach, and herbs. When the vent is closed, moisture is held in the drawer. This will help keep your greens crisp and fresh.
Common fruits and veggies to place in a crisper drawer on a high-humidity setting, include:
Common fruits and veggies to place in a crisper drawer on a low-humidity setting, includes:
The crisper drawer should only be 2/3 full, as this will allow proper air flow between produce. When you understand how to work the humidity settings on your crisper drawer, you are giving your produce a chance to stay fresh until you are ready to eat it.
What you store your food in has a big impact on the way it will taste when you get it out of the fridge or freezer. You are sure to take into account the amount of space you have for storage, and this will help you decide which storage methods to use. Plus, you may also consider if your container is going to be heated in the microwave when taken out of the fridge or freezer.
Do not take choosing storage containers lightly, as the safety, taste and texture of your food all depend on the storage methods you choose.
Knowing how to store your food properly will help extend its life, as well as its freshness. You spend a lot of money on produce at the grocery store, so you do not want to throw it away before you have time to eat it. Choose the right storing methods, and you will reduce the cost of wasted food, and be able to have healthy fruit and veggie options on hand for longer periods of time.

Section 10: Documentation and record retention requirements
Return to Annotated ALE Rules Contents | << Previous | Next >>
Rule Text
(10) Documentation and record retention requirements: School districts claiming state funding for alternative learning experiences must retain all documentation required in this section in accordance with established records retention schedules and must make such documentation available upon request for purposes of state monitoring and audit. School districts must maintain the following written documentation:
(a) School board policy for alternative learning experiences pursuant to this section;
(b) Annual reports to the school district board of directors as required by subsection (5) of this section;
(c) Monthly and annual reports to the superintendent of public instruction as required by subsection (9) of this section;
(d) The written student learning plans required by subsection (4) of this section;
(e) Evidence of weekly contact required by subsection (4) of this section.
(i) For students participating in regularly scheduled classes, including in-person instructional contact and synchronous digital instructional contact, evidence may include classroom attendance records.
(ii) For students who are not participating in regularly scheduled classes, evidence of the contact must include the date of the contact, the method of communication by which the contact was accomplished, and documentation to support the subject of the communication.
(f) Student progress evaluations and intervention plans required by subsection (4) of this section;
(g) The results of any assessments required by subsection (8) of this section;
(h) Student enrollment detail substantiating full-time equivalent enrollment reported to the state; and
(i) Signed parent enrollment disclosure documents required by subsection (6)(j) of this section.
This subsection establishes documentation requirements for ALE.
Common Questions
Q. How long does the documentation of contact need to be held?
A. Districts should retain documentation in accordance with their established records retention schedules. The Washington Secretary of State's office has a number of resources that districts can use when developing records retention schedules.
Last updated: 9/16/2011
Q. In the evidence of weekly contact what is meant by "documentation to support the subject of the communication"?
A. The documentation required will depend on the method of contact used. The documentation should include a brief summary of the topics discussed during the direct personal contact. The summary should be unique to this conversation, and not generic. For example, "discussed ALE coursework" would not be an adequate level of specificity, whereas "assisted student in understanding fractions in unit 5" would provide enough detail to determine whether the content of the discussion was related to their WSLP. Summaries need not be longer than one or two sentences.
In the case of email, chat, or other electronic methods, the actual email or chat transcript could be retained as documentation in lieu of a summary.
Last updated: 8/16/2012
Q. For purposes of taking attendance in in-person or synchronous digital instructional contact time, should passing time be included?
A. Passing time may be included as per the definition in WAC 392-121-122 that states "each hour counted shall contain at least 50 minutes of instruction or supervised study provided by appropriate instructional staff."
