Book Groups Fall 2017
Book Groups Fall 2017
WWII's homefronts in the United States, France, and Germany, led by Philippe Mélot
Far from the battlefields and military feats, what was everyday life in France and in the U.S. during the second world war? On the French side of the Atlantic there was Occupation, Collaboration and Resistance; on the other side, the "Arsenal of Democracy," a whole country turned into a gigantic armament factory, with millions of women (the Rosies) working in factories and shipyards, and peacetime products turned into war products. In Germany, west of the Rhine River a population fanaticized and kept under brutal dictatorship and "fake news" propaganda.
The group meets on the following Wednesdays at 17h-19h to discuss the listed books:
20 Sep | Freedom's Forge by Arthur Herman
25 Oct | No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin
29 Nov | The Unfree French: Life under the Occupation by Richard Vinen
20 Dec | The German War: a Nation Under Ams 1939-45" By Nicholas Stagardt
The Ongoing debates around the US Healthcare System, led by Graciela Carrasco
This reading group will focus first on two authors who have written compelling accounts of the American medical system, one from the patient perspective, and one from the provider perspective. The group will then tackle a historical account of presidential health policy, which will be quite relevant in light of the ongoing debates around health reform. Finally, the group will read one American doctor's transformative work on the global health stage. This group meets on the following Thursday evenings at 19h30:
21 Sept | The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, by Anne Fadiman
19 Oct | Better: A Surgeon's Note on Performance OR Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science, by Atul Gawande
16 Nov | The Heart of Power: Health and Politics in the Oval Office, by David Blumenthal
14 Dec | Mountains Beyond Mountains, by Tracy Kidder
Graciela Carrasco is currently a PhD student at ESSEC School of Business. Her research interests are in Health Policy and Management and Health Communications. Previously she did her Masters degree at the Harvard School of Public Health, also in Health Policy and Management. She is originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Readings on the Middle East, led by Maury Lanman and Laurie Calvet
The motivation of this book group is to explore the mostly recent history of the middle east in order to better understand the region today. Our first book is a broad survey of middle eastern history by the renown scholar Bernard Lewis. The next three notable books each examine a separate aspect of this complex topic, in particular: Iran, the rise of ISIS and the history of Israel. While it is impossible to cover such a broad and complicated topic in any comprehensive fashion in only 4 books, our selections should provide insight into the middle east puzzle and help us understand in more depth the present challenges of the region. The meetings will be held on the following Thursdays from 17h-18h30.
19 Sept | The Middle East: A Brief History of the Last 2,000 Years, by Bernard Lewis
19 Oct | All the Shah's Men by Stephen Kinzer
16 Nov | A Rage for Order: The Middle East in Turmoil, from Tahrir Square to ISIS by Robert F. Worth
11 Jan | My Promised Land: The Triumph and Tragedy of Israel by Ari Shavit
Studying Shakespeare Plays, led by Neil Heims
This group continues from this past spring, reading and discussing the follow classic plays on the following Thursdays at 18H30:
28 Sep | Hamlet
26 Oct | Henry V
23 Nov | King Lear
21 Dec | The Tempest
Democracy Around the World, led by Ed Turner
This group returns to explore a slightly different angle, looking at democratic movements in countries not known for them. This group will meet at 17h-19h on the following dates:
28 Sept |The Marriott Cell: An Epic Journey from Cairo's Scorpion Prison to Freedom by Mohamed Fahmy
21 Nov | Democracy: Stories From the Long Road to Freedom by Condoleezza Rice
12 Dec | The Retreat of Western Liberalism by Edward Luce
TBD | Age of Anger: A History of the Present by Pankaj Mishra
World Voices at the Library, led by Grant Rosenberg
Led by the Library's programs manager, this book group will read a selection of books that have been highlights of the Library's' 'evenings with authors' series, from authors and/or protagonists who are not Western: a Libyan, a Guatemalan, a Kuwaiti, and a Liberian speak to us in these books. The group will meet on the following Thursday mornings at 10h30.
5 Oct | The Return - a memoir by Hisham Matar

Boise September 10th, 2009 - Overnight Burglary and Warrant arrests
Arrested: Keyra A. Cheney, 18, Mt Home
Charges: Burglary (F), Possession of a controlled substance (prescription medication) (F)
Boise Police were dispatched to a report of a shoplifter at a retail store on the 5200 block of West Franklin yesterday (September 9th) at approximately 4:00 p.m. Loss prevention employees tell police they observed the suspect conceal goods and exit the store without paying for them. Boise Police believe the suspect entered the store with the intent to commit the theft, resulting in the burglary charge. During a search of the suspect, officers located a controlled substance pill for which the suspect had no prescription. The suspect was transported to the Ada County Jail and booked on the above listed charges.
Warrant Arrested: Erin D. Michelsen, 27, Boise
Warrant Charges: Grand Theft (F)
Erin Michelsen was taken into custody on an outstanding felony warrant for Grand Theft Yesterday (September 9th)
The arrest warrant stems from several theft incidents that took place over a period of a month, starting in June of this year. Victims tell police that the suspect, who is known to them, had stolen several personal items and pawned some of them. After a detailed investigation, Boise Police Detectives recovered several of the stolen items including jewelry. That investigative information was forwarded to the Ada County Prosecuting Attorney's Office and resulted in the felony warrant.

CHESTER-le-Street's biggest landlord is starting work on the construction of much-needed new housing in a village.
Cestria Community Housing's £3.3m development at Nettlesworth will see 18 one-bedroom bungalows, for which there is low demand, replaced by new housing for rent.
The first phase of the scheme, called The Green, consists of eight two-bedroom bungalows and 16 two-bedroom homes on the village's north east edge. A second phase of 19 two-bedroom homes has won planning permission from Durham County Council.
Loading article content
Cestria has recently spent £600,000 on the refurbishment of its properties in Nettlesworth.
The new energy-efficient homes have been designed to the Government's Code for Sustainable Homes level 3, Decent Homes standard and Secured by Design.
They will include features such as rainwater harvesting, improved insulation in walls, windows and the roof, and waste recycling measures.
The new homes will have gardens, sheds, bin storage, clothes drying areas, and parking for residents and visitors.
The Homes and Communities Agency is giving a £378,00 grant for the scheme, which will be built by Galliford Try Partnerships North.
Cestria chief executive Paul Fiddaman said: "This is a very exciting time for Cestria - last year we completed our first new build development at Crossleas in Sacriston and work commenced last month on a new development of 14 two-bedroom homes at Primrose Crescent, in Bournmoor.
"In addition to The Green, we are also building The Elms, a specialist housing scheme for over- 55s in the centre of Chester-le-Street, which will also get underway next week, which demonstrates our commitment of providing 239 new build properties by March 2017.
"We know that there is a real shortage of affordable housing in this area and so are pleased to be able to provide these much-needed, high quality homes for local families.
"We're sure there will be high demand for these properties once they are completed."
Karen Anderson, area manager of the Homes and Communities Agency, said: "The continuing work by our partners is making a real difference to people in County Durham.
"This rural scheme of 24 new homes for rent will ensure that homes remain affordable for local people. Our investment is helping Cestria meet their ambitious plans for new homes in the Chester-le-Street area."
Phase one is expected to be completed next spring and phase will start after that.

With the fast flowing changes in technology, it is evident that more and more people are surfing the Internet on small handheld devices like a SmartPhone or Tablet. These devices have much smaller screens which makes it hard to read a full website. We work very hard to make sure that all of our current website designs will work fine on a small screen, but if you have an older website that isn't automatically "responsive" or "mobile friendly" then we can help you adapt your existing site to work on a small screen.
All of the WordPress Websites we Design are Automatically Mobile-Friendly!
The Single Page Brochure | A Mobile Landing Page
The fastest and simplest way to create a mobile presence is to take your original website and create a single page that says what you do, who you are, and how to contact you in a very quick and clear way. We like to think of this as a "single page brochure" that simply tells people who you are quickly in text.
What we will do is take the "look" of your original website (using the basic background and color schemes) and then summarize your services into one simple page. Then, when someone goes to your website on a mobile device, then will automatically be re-directed to this one page that tells them who you are in an easy to read way!
Notice that on the Mobile Webpage we have all the pertinent information,
but have slimmed it down considerably to the core of what is needed.
A Full Custom Mobile Website | Duplicate and Slim Down
The idea of a Mobile Website is to create a much more simplified version of your site to tell people what you do using much less information. Most normal websites are packed full of information (text, pictures, links, etc…). On a small screen, that is hard to read and hard to navigate. So, creating pages that slim down your content to the core of what you do will make it easier for someone to view on their mobile device.
If you have a lot of content and a ton of information you want to get in front of people even on a mobile device, then we can clearly work with you to create an entire mobile website. We then install code that tells your viewers and the Search Engines whether or not each page is being viewed on a big or small screen. If it detects a SmartPhone or Tablet, it then shifts everything into the Mobile Website.

and when he uses the g36e it's like always right where he points it at
But yeah the montage was good
Yeah, it's because he "memorized" where the crosshair was, that way, he's pro at quickscoping.
Keller and Emnesty are still better. It's 'faster' coz he sped his clips up =="
Doesn't look like it, look at the people he's shooting at.

Bernie Sanders represents the young person's hope at obtaining affordable education faster than the US government can currently promise it. While Obama has been making efforts towards free community college for "responsible students," Bernie wants to go so far as to make all higher education, not just two-year schools, free for all.
Here's a quote from Bernie's site directly:
"This is not a radical idea. Last year, Germany eliminated tuition because they believed that charging students $1,300 per year was discouraging Germans from going to college. Next year, Chile will do the same. Finland, Norway, Sweden and many other countries around the world also offer free college to all of their citizens. If other countries can take this action, so can the United States of America." – Bernie's site.
Before too long, America will be one of the few remaining "first-world" countries to reject free higher education.
I should note that I do not see the Democratic Party as "anti-education" (in fact they have a long history of being very pro-education), however I am starting to see the party as anti-Bernie.
How do I know this? One word: "superdelegates."
"What are superdelegates?" you might ask. I had the same question. I soon found a [justifiably] biased explanation of superdelegates by The Young Turks:
TLDR: Superdelegates are making it seem like Hilary is crushing Bernie in the polls when in reality, their numbers are quite close.
As of today (March 18th, 2016), Clinton has a lead equating to just over 300-points against Sanders and, really, that's not that much.
"But look at the visual! Clearly Hilary is our next candidate." Maybe, but that really tall bar above her $600 haircut has a lot more to do with the famously spurious superdelegates than the vote of the people.
So the real question is: "Why would the Democratic Party try to keep Bernie from being our candidate in the 2016 election?" I have a simple answer for you:
Because he's different.
That might not the whole reason why, but possibly the most realistic reason. Think about it. Elections are tough, the party needs a candidate that won't cause any waves or provide too many risks in the midst of the entire nation figuratively placing their chosen representative under a microscope of judgment and skepticism.
And when you're up against what has been deemed as potentially the next Hitler, you'll want your candidate to be as "ideal" as ideal can get.
(Warning: video contains strong language)
So essentially, Hilary may not be the candidate young people and future generations need, but if it's down to Clinton vs Drumpf, I suppose I can see why Democrats would be so cautious.

Innovation Meeting
Written by Trish Lauer
On a Wednesday afternoon, teams filed into the Chapel, ready to put their brains into "innovation" mode.
Sitting in groups of five that included resident participants, everyone gathered to build on the work they've already done towards making Garden Spot a place that never ceases to continue looking forward. Each table, adorned with markers, knick-knacks, and idea sheets, became where ideas would take shape; ideas to get everyone, residents and staff alike, engaged in GSV. Not only the environment of GSV but the community of GSV – the meaningful relationships that develop in the various ways people connect.
The residents that took part offered a new perspective on what they see in the future for GSV, and a fresh take on the ways to get there. Everything from new ways to get the word out on events that may pique someone's interest to fun ideas like a portable community mural that any artists can work on were thought up, getting everyone's creative juices flowing,
Two-and-a-half hours later, as everyone now filed out of the Chapel, the chatter was enthusiastic and inspired. Even if the exact ideas aren't put into action immediately, they provide a great starting point; a way to think outside the box. A way to continue looking forward.

A good example of the ever popular Sweetpea,the model based on the North Wales Quarry locomotives. This one was built by an experienced engineer and ran on a private railway. Being scaled upon a narrow gauge locomotive means that you get a very much larger model than the standard gauge scaled up-definitely more value for your money and in this case more pulling power than a similar wheel arrangement in ST gauge. Suitable for passenger hauling duty at the club and /or garden track. The Sweetpea has proven to be one of most reliable and successful narrow gauge locos in 5"gauge.The loco has a full boiler certificate,Hydraulic expiring June 2018,Steam August 2015.

Day: June 25, 2015
Talking with terrorists
"The United States does not negotiate with terrorists" is a phrase engraved in every American's mind because of its common use in the media and government statements. Replete with the idea that Americans will not lower themselves to the terrorists' level, the phrase has created an implicit international standard that negotiation with terrorists is unacceptable. On Wednesday, June 24, Jonathan Powell, former Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Tony Blair, challenged this notion at a talk with Ian Wallace, Senior Fellow of the International Security Program at the New America Foundation. The talk was based on Powell's new book, Terrorists at the Table.
According to Powell, every government claims it will not negotiate with terrorists, but ultimately does so. He finds this "collective amnesia" frustrating when government actions clearly show there's value in talking to terrorists. Powell asserted that people's opposition to negotiation stems from three beliefs—talking to terrorists appeases, legitimizes and rewards terrorists for their behavior.
These beliefs, however, are completely unfounded. Powell argues that talking to terrorists is not equivalent to agreeing to their terms and only legitimizes them in the short-term, which is a worthwhile sacrifice if the result is long-term peace. Moreover, the idea that talking to people is a reward and not talking to them is punishment is a childish approach. Powell emphasized the importance of an "adult" approach towards such a grave issue.
Powell's call for communication stems from a desire to reduce the common mistrust between the governments and terrorists. A conversation allows terrorists to share their stories and grievances and opens a process that can lead to a resolution. Otherwise, the vacuum fills up with more violence.
These insights are partly a result of Powell's experience negotiating with the Irish Republican Army in Northern Ireland, which culminated in the Good Friday Agreement. The 1998 Agreement followed three failed negotiations, which Powell used as an example to highlight the importance of persistence. Initial setbacks shouldn't deter governments from pursuing channels with terrorists, because failed agreements serve as building blocks for a successful future agreement.
Conditions for fruitful negotiations are a "mutually hurting stalemate" and strong leadership within opposing parties. The former refers to the point at which both parties have exhausted the will and resources to continue fighting, which gives them to communicate with each other in nonviolent ways. Reaching this point can take a while, even with increased military engagement between the two parties. But Powell urged governments to initiate communication channels, because history shows that leaving communication too late renders it useless. Powell cited General Petraeus who admitted that in Iraq, the US government delayed too long before talking to those "with American blood on their hands."
Powell also mentioned the value of third parties in negotiations. Often governments are reluctant to involve a mediator, because they don't want to lose control of the discussion. The UN can be the third party in situations demanding conflict resolution, but Powell thinks it has little success. Instead, he pointed to the effectiveness of smaller governments and NGOs, which can be more discrete.
Powell believes there is potential to negotiate with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Critics of this belief make the distinction between old terrorists and new terrorists, claiming that the latter's religious drive precludes them from being rational counterparts in a negotiation. But Powell is convinced there's room for communication, especially because the alternatives are bleak. The Kurdish and Shia' forces have gained ground in Iraq and Syria, but they can't make a transformative difference without foreign boots on the ground, which is not an option. This means there is no effective strategy unless a negotiating channel is opened.
PS: Powell was preaching to the about to be converted, as President Obama announced yesterday a policy allowing (but not requiring) talking with terrorists about hostage issues. But it will be hard to confine the talks to only those.

Grain discolouration It's in the breeding
GroundCover™ Issue: 29
Grain discolouration in barley is a major problem for growers in parts of Australia including the south coast of WA and southern high-rainfall areas of Victoria.
Kevin Young of Agriculture WA told the barley conference the solution lies in barley breeding rather than changes to agronomic practices.
He said any management practice on its own, including the use of fungicides and changes to nitrogen applications, plant density, sowing dates and harvesting techniques, was likely to have little effect on grain colour although in combination the effect would be greater "especially if the grower is getting the basics wrong".
Mr Young has screened local and overseas barleys and has found existing varieties which resist kernel discolouration.
"In the longer term, it should be possible to breed locally adapted varieties with significant improvements in resistance to kernel discolouration using Japanese malting lines."
Colour comes with fungi
"It should be remembered that industry resistance to the purchase of discoloured grain is because it has been associated with a high level of fungal activity and the risk of associated problems in both the malt-house and the brewery.
"It is pointless breeding for resistance to weather staining unless such resistance is linked to reduced populations of microflora on the surface of the grain."


text: Ok first off im kind of new to the forum (been browsing a few weeks) so Hi. I like most others im sure have bought what feels like every product out there, along with all the make a fortune sitting on your lazy ass ones....and surprise....nothing. In fact the latest one is a product called Turbo Profit Sniper, dont know if anybody tried it but once again big promises and I aint seen no cash at all yet (once again no surprise). Anyway lets cut to the chase, I am sick of the scams and garbage and finally want to go out there into the online world and make my money. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME what I would like is for some people to advise me on where best to start learning and earning money fairly quickly, and YES I am prepared to put in work, research and learn....I realize now (should have done sooner ) that there is no such thing as a free lunch. but where is best to start for a sort of newbie ? I say sort of newbie as I can build my own sites without programs and I have read enough garbage to at least take some of the good advice from it, but really I dont have much of a clue what to do or where to begin. For instance I understand what keywords do but how and where to put them in your website html, ummm no idea, do you seperate them with commas? do they go in speechmarks? what about spaces?. A lot of the stuff I can probably find out through research and I will, but whenever I try to find info on keywords they all seem to preach on different aspects but never tell me where im putting the little shits and how many do i need. the sort of income I need to be making is around £2.5k - $3k a week but I realize this will be a long way off $100 dollars a week or to be honest ANYTHING would be a start as so far I think I may be one of the few that aint made 1 cent online so far. lastly I just want to be clear that I am willing to work and im not asking for big money scheme handouts (i know how much you all hate that ) I just want somebody to point me in the right direction throw me the ball and I will.........probably fumble and fall on my face but I will get up and keep trying and make it work. I will report any progress here on the site if anybody is interested. Thanks for your time oh and I do have a domain name and will get hosting if required domain name is blayzeprofits . c o m thought that would be the company name once upon a time with the big corporation dream sorry for droning on thanks again :tape:

Flats for typical school days and Uggs during fall and winter dress down days. I can't wait to see what everyone else is wearing!
Thank you for linking up! Love the flats!! I wish I could wear Uggs, because they are so comfortable, but something about the height make me look super short! They've never looked right on me.

We are still unpacking from a fantastic long weekend in Nashville, TN. I attended the Thrive Conference for Young Living Leaders and we decided to take the family along. Good weather, good friends, good family time.
It was a great balance for me of some quality family time and some professional growth time. {Thanks, Brad for all YOU did to make this part possible!}
This was the 70 or so of us that represented our Oily Families Team at Thrive. When I signed up for Young Living, I had NO CLUE my feet were landing in such a SOLID group of individuals who have encouraged, educated, and empowered me this past year. It's been an absolutely invaluable component to my own family's successes with essential oils as well as my professional growth of making YL a full-time income! INCREDIBLE.
So don't just sign up randomly for essential oils or get them off the grocery shelf. Getting plugged in to resources and education is vital! Thankful that I can pass this along and encourage others in this way as they have demonstrated to me! {I'd be happy to hold your hand through the essential oils learning curve too. Check out this post for more!}
I certainly could not do it without these two. Myra pursued me for over a year, but it was all about timing and how God used them in my life during a time of grief and physical challenges to win me over. Emily I knew of through blogging, but since has become a daily mentor. So glad we had the opportunity to finally meet in person. I'm so thankful for both of their friendships!
While I attended sessions on Autism, Women's Health, Personal Development, Team Development, etc. they enjoyed time at the hotel, visiting a Civil War battleground, touring the John C Tune airport {thanks to my cousin Connie who works there}, swimming, and exploring the Gaylord Opryland Hotel.
The cutest bunch of Cowboys I've ever seen. 😉
Sunday we enjoyed our last few hours in the south together with some Jack's Barbecue, and racing around the Parthenon.
I posted about this a little on Instagram on Sunday on our trek home, but every time we travel, we grow. There's something about getting away, being together, experiencing new things, and even toughing it out through challenges that come with being away from home that unifies us as a family. I came home so refreshed and filled with gratitude for this role that God has given me as a mother. I love the perspective that comes from re-evaluating, learning from others stories, and being more intentional.
We are encouraged all the more to not just exist but to THRIVE in our faith, our relationships, and in our roles.
Thanks, Nashville, for your warm southern hospitality that we adore, the warmer temps, the food, and the take-aways. We can't wait to come back, and maybe next time maybe Mama will take some boots home as a souvenir!

It is a matter of fact that with increasing deterioration in the environment and enhanced use of contaminated products, the extent of people falling sick and leading inactive lives has highly gone ahead. In other words, people nowadays are more exposed to adulterated products, especially in terms of foods and drinks, and this is the reason why they are suffering from a variety of diseases which are not easily curable. On such disease which is highly being found to in people is the problem of urinary incontinence. On defining the term incontinence, it has to be mentioned that this is a situation in which individuals get disabled in controlling their urinary activities. They are medically challenged of not being able to hold on to themselves when they need to pass urine or to eliminate their bowel.
What are the Advantages of Adult Incontinence Pads?
There are several advantages of adult incontinence pads. They can be summed up as follows:
- Adult incontinence pads help in greater absorption of urine and the good quality absorbent material helps not to spread the fluid to other parts of the body.
- Moreover, quality adult incontinence pads are also not harsh on the skin, and they do not result into dry, rough, scaly or patch skin.
- These adult incontinence pads can be used by both females and males. They are available in a number of sizes like the normal, the large, the extra-large and even more than that, depending on the body weight of the people.
- Good quality adult incontinence pads can easily be purchased from online shops, and these pads do not give out any foul smell.
Types of Adult Incontinence Pads
Incontinence is an issue which is usually found in elderly people more than that of the people of other age groups. This is the reason why the medical authorities have tried and designed some really effective products that can help incontinent people to get back to their normal lives.
- There are a variety of pads that are highly adsorbing by nature and help control urination and elimination of bowel.
- Amongst all types of pads that have been brought in for incontinent people, the overnight diapers are considered to be the most effective. The reason behind this is that these adult briefs can be used overnight without the necessity of changing on a frequent basis.
- Besides, there are tab style diapers as well which ensure maximum comfort to the user. These are disposable pads hence they need not be washed and maintained.
- A special kind of pant with absorbing power has also been brought in to the market. It has smart and effective features. These can be pulled up like normal pants. They do not cause fatigue or irritation to the user and give in for full-fledged protection to the same.
- These are also disposable pads, and are characterised by elastic support on the sides so as to give a proper fit of these on the body of the user.
- Belted undergarments however are meant to be used when there is a scope of heavy leakage. These are worn like normal pants with belts on all sides and do not ask for much dexterity between the feet of the user.
What are Swim Diapers?
Swim diapers are a different type of undergarments which are used by people who have incontinence and are engaged in swimming activities. These can provide protection against involuntary elimination of urine and bowel. Thus for incontinence, pads and diapers are the only solutions to maintain usual lifestyle. These swim diapers can also be used while old people especially women, go for swimming and bathing activities in pools or in the sea.
This blog give you details to everything about Incontinence Pads. Let's go to the details for further more information.

Before you waste your hard-earned money on buying a Powerball ticket in anticipation of the $1.3 billion drawing this Wednesday, you ought to know that the winner has already been chosen.
MarketWatch contributor Cullen Roche, founder of Orcam Financial Group LLC, explained that "the real winner of the lottery system is not the person who buys the winning ticket"; "[t]he real winner is the government, which taxes the winner."
According to Roche, the feds automatically withhold 25 percent and then toss the winner into the highest tax bracket if he/she chooses to go with the lump sum option.
If someone were to win in Washington, D.C., for instance, he or she would only go home with about $416 million versus $1.3 billion. That's quite the cut, aye?
Moreover, 15 percent of the revenue from the lottery itself goes toward marketing it, while 25 of it goes toward funding meaningless state poverty programs that Duke University economics professor Charles Flotfelter argues have no "meaningful positive economic effect:"
I find the whole lottery system rather disturbing. It preys on our behavioral biases and irrational understanding of money. So while the media will widely tout the "winner" of any drawing, the real winners will be the government entities that spend millions to promote a program that does little public good and hurts those who need the money most.
The whole thing is kind of a sham, not that it doesn't pay to play, because let's be honest — $416 million is still a LOT of money!
Still, though, if you decide to play it, just remember that even if you "win," the government will still be the biggest winner of all!

The Sweetwater ISD Board of Trustees is made up of elected individuals whose purpose is to govern the operation of the school district. These individuals serve without a salary.
SISD Board Policy On-line
SISD Board Meeting Agenda and Minutes
If you need information about any meeting other than the ones posted here, you may contact the Superintendent's office at 235-8601.
The board usually meets on the third Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the Sweetwater ISD Administration Board Room, 207 Musgrove Street. In the event that large attendance is anticipated, the board may meet at Sweetwater Intermediate School. Special meetings may be called when necessary. A written notice of regular and special meetings will be posted at the central administration building and on the district Website at least 72 hours before the scheduled meeting time. The written notice will show the date, time, place, and subjects of each meeting. In emergencies, a meeting may be held with a two- hour notice.
All meetings are open to the public. In certain circumstances, Texas law permits the board to go into a closed session from which the public and others are excluded. Closed session may occur for such things as discussing prospective gifts or donations, real-property acquisition, certain personnel matters including employee complaints, security matters, student discipline, or consulting with attorneys regarding pending litigation.
As citizens who serve children and represent their communities, individual school board members face complex and demanding challenges. Yet, few people fully understand the scope and far-reaching implications of board members' responsibilities. All Texans should recognize the vital contributions of these men and women and focus attention on the crucial role these elected leaders play in the education of our children. They truly make a difference every day.
Their job is to establish a vision for the education program, design a structure to achieve that vision, assure schools are accountable to the community, and strongly advocate continuous improvement in student learning. That job entails an endless string of meetings and school functions to attend; reams of reports, agendas, proposals, and other information to read and study; and a host of difficult decisions to make.
School board members come from all walks of life. They are farmers, secretaries, doctors, lawyers, homemakers, teachers, truck drivers, business owners, professors, architects, ranchers, and real estate agents, to name just a few.
While they wear many hats in the workday world, school board members put on a collective hat when they get down to the business of leading their school districts. Board members must pull together as a team toward a common goal—helping our students achieve. While they may individually disagree on certain issues, their role as a board is to consistently strive toward excellence.
Board members contribute hundreds and hundreds of hours each year governing their districts. Whether crafting policies, hiring administrators, listening to staff and student concerns, or recognizing outstanding programs, board members always keep their eyes on the goal of student achievement.
The time spent in board meetings represents just a small fraction of the hours school board members devote to their jobs. They work hard at seminars and training sessions to keep abreast of the latest changes in state and federal regulations and learn trends in educational leadership. They also are deeply involved in community activities, and spend many hours in the schools and at extracurricular events. Their love of learning and concern and caring for students, staff, and the community drive board members' desire to ensure every student can succeed.
Sweetwater ISD would like to publicly thank our board members for their hard work and express our appreciation to them.

Swapping Chains and Sprockets with Team Suzuki's Dave Feeney
Photos: Donn Maeda
Text: Juan Doorley
When you get the throbbing pain of a toothache you go to the dentist, right? Well, if you love your bike as much as most motoheads do, you might consider doing the same favor for your adoring friend with two wheels. That's right, we're talking chain and sprockets here, folks, and if you ride with any regularity these are some of the most important parts to keep an eye on for excessive wear.
So how do you know when your baby needs more than just a checkup? If the shrilling, squeaking noise from your chain can be heard over your blown-out silencer, or your rear sprocket is missing more teeth than cousin Earl, it's probably time for an overhaul. In all seriousness, riding with worn-out final drive components isn't a laughing matter. A derailed or snapped chain can lock up your rear wheel and ruin your cases, and in extreme cases can even break you!
Dave Feeney came in from Down Under (yeah, another Aussie on the loose) to give us a briefing on the quickest and most effective way to swap out sprockets. Although it sounds easy enough, there are lots of little tricks that the factory guys use to make their lives easier. Most race teams will replace the chain and sprockets every race, so the factory wrenches get enough practice to do it in their sleep. For the rest of us in the real world that don't have that luxury, Dave demonstrates the best way to ensure that you get the longest life from your bike's chain and sprockets.
Go Time
STEP 1) Remove the chain with a large flathead screwdriver. Place the flat edge against the open end of the clip and use the palm of your hand to pop the clip loose.
(Now that the chain has been removed, loosen the rear axle nut and take the rear wheel off. Clean out any sand or dirt that may have gotten caught in the swingarm lugs.)
STEP 2) Break the rear sprocket nuts loose with a 12mm wrench, then place the proper Allen key in the bolt to remove the nut once it starts to spin.
STEP 3) Place the new sprocket on after the hub has been cleared of any debris and excess loctite. Blue loctite the bolts before installing into the hub. Tighten the bolts snug, and then use the wrench to finish tightening. On most bikes it is impossible to use an actual torque wrench, so you have to become the human torque wrench.
STEP 4) Every motorcycle has a different way of attaching the front sprocket. Hondas have a bolt and Yamahas use a nut with a bendable washer, while Suzukis and Kawasakis both use a C-clip. Pick the appropriate method for your ride and replace the front sprocket in the opposite manner in which it came off the bike. The factory Honda mechanics always safety-wire the bolt tight, Yamaha makes sure the bendable tab is in the proper location, and the Kawi and Suzuki techs use case bond around the C-clip to ensure the open end can't be caught with a boot.
(Look at the chain guide and slider, and if they are worn out replace them. When installing the bolts back into the swing arm, make sure to loctite the threads.)
STEP 5) After replacing the rear wheel, leave the axle loose and install the new chain on the bike. Try to keep the axle in the center of the swingarm adjusters so that different sizes of sprockets can be installed without replacing the chain.
STEP 6) If your new chain is too long, simply cut the proper amount of links off. The big thing here is to be careful, because you don't get a second chance at this. There are many different chain breakers for sale, and Motion Pro and Regina make two of the best.
(If a chain breaker doesn't exist in your toolbox, the ends of the link pins can be ground off. Grind the outeer part of the desired link flush and use a small punch to pop the pins loose.)
STEP 7) Install the master link. Use the end of a flathead screwdriver to pop the clip into place. The direction of the clip is extremely important; make sure the closed end faces the direction of the chain's rotation. If the master link is on top of the swingarm, the open end of the link should be facing the back of the bike. Failure to do this will almost guarantee the clip will fall off the master link and break the chain.
STEP 8) Adjust the chain tension according to OEM specs found in the owner's manual. Once the proper tension is set, position a rag between the chain and rear sprocket to pull the wheel forward before tightening the rear axle nut. Torque the rear axle to the proper number, and finally tighten the chain adjuster nuts.

With three U.S. rounds in the books, the Supercross circuit heads north to San Francisco this weekend for round four. But¿the big question for the weekend may not be about the trio of frontrunners in the big-bore class, or the battle between Grant Langston and Andrew Short in the Lites (who are currently tied in points). The big news just might be, what will the weather do? There have been a few dire reports of the potential for wet weather, and last year's Anaheim 1 mudfest winner, Kevin Windham is on the sidelines.
Will Ricky Carmichael extend his string of wins this weekend? While Ricky may not claim to be a great mud rider, after watching him fearlessly line up in a very nasty muddy rut and clear one of the triples on the course at A1 last year, there's no doubt that he has some serious skills in the wet.
Can James Stewart make the jump back to the top of the podium? The word via James Stewart's most recent newsletter (www.jamesstewartonline.com) is that he spent the week testing in California, and found a couple tuning items that were positive additions to his arsenal. And, minus James' crash last weekend, it's possible that he'd still have the points lead.
And can Chad return to the front of the pack to score his first win of the season? Obviously last weekend he discovered that Ivan Tedesco isn't just going to lay down and let him go by (even his own teammate had to fight to pass Ivan), but there's no doubt that Reed has plenty of speed. Subtract the mistake while he was leading the main in Phoenix, and the points could look very different.
One thing's for sure, all of them are possible winners, but that brings us back to the weather. A1 in '05 was a bad deal for Chad Reed and James Stewart, as both suffered from mechanical problems or crashes. This weekend could have some serious championship implications.
So far this year, the Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross tour has been blessed with exceptionally good weather; that is until this weekend. As of today (Friday, January 27), the forecast is calling for the potential for rain. Currently up in the Bay Area, there are clouds, but no rain and unfortunately that may change come tomorrow. A quick trip to weather.com, and we found¿
Friday: Showers late in the day, with temperatures in the 50s.
Saturday: 60% chance of rain all day, with temperatures in the mid 50s.
This year, the championship chase in both the West Coast Supercross Lites and Supercross classes are closer than ever. No more than four points separates Chad Reed and current leader Ricky Carmichael in the AMA title battle, while only one point separates Carmichael and James Stewart, who leads the World Supercross championship. For everyone, including the racers, this is shaping up to be one exciting season of racing.
As for the Lites division, Andrew Short and Grant Langston sit tied for the lead after both winning one round. Andrew won the grueling opening round in Anaheim, while Langston took the win at last weekend's race in Anaheim.

Last year in San Francisco, Dirt Werx was forced to do their best at building a track when they were faced with adverse weather conditions, and like we mentioned before, they are going to have to do the same this year.
In 2005, thanks to the rain, sections were cut out of the track making for a much easier racing surface. This year, hopefully that won't be the case, but we will just have to see once practice gets underway on Saturday. For your viewing pleasure here is a preview of what we the riders might expect to face this weekend as they do battle by the bay.
Be sure to check back on Sunday morning for the TWMX Race Report, and on Monday for Kickstart, to see how it all went down in San Francisco.

Individual mindfulness
With Maartje Bakker
We live in a time with limitless possibilities. Anything can be done, achieved, acquired. We only have to work hard, and do our best. Everything can be controlled. At least, that's what we think. And then all of a sudden we feel unhappy. Because we have no influence on what happens to us. We can only influence how we react to it. Individual Mindfulness consists of eight weekly meetings of an hour, which help you to become more aware of your body, your thoughts and feelings using different meditations and applications. You'll increase your mental strength, which will help you to better deal with difficult situations.
Ayurvedic nutrition & lifestyle consultations
Amsterdam & Den Haag
When we live in accordance with our individual nature, we experience life with a happy mind and healthy body. Each one of us is different and depending on what is going on in our private life, we all have different needs to keep us balanced. In a personal Ayurvedic Nutrition & Lifestyle consultation, we discover your basic constitution (Prakruti) and your present state of health (Vikruti) through pulse diagnosis, tongue analysis and an interview. We look at your past health conditions, mental and emotional states, general life history, and talk about your daily life at the present moment.
With Juno Burger
Amsterdam & Den Haag
A RealEase personal clearing is a sentient experience in silence. Juno scans for and releases charge from your energy system. The effect is immediate and lasting. After the treatment Juno will give you practical advice as to how you can apply this technique to your everyday life. Through identification with our experiences we build up energetic charge which is stored in various layers of your energy system. Every time we react in the same limiting ways when that charge presents we add to the tension. Keeping an old story alive that is no longer relevant.
Pranic healing
With Deborah Quibell, Hector Ramos
It is a therapy which can assist with acute or chronic physical and psychological issues you are dealing with currently, and can also be a powerful means of preventative healing. 'Prana' is a sanskrit word meaning "life-force" – the invisible vital energy that maintains a state of good health. Pranic Healing is a comprehensive system of energetic medicine, with a structured and specific approach. It is a "no-touch" methodology that is based on the principle of connection between the physical body and the energetic field.
Feeding Your Demons
With Ingeborg Timmerman
A session of Feeding Your Demons will help you to transform that which you are struggling with in your life into something you can take with you and will help you in the process. We call this your ally. You can transform anything, which you experience as negative: habits, depression, fears, dreams/nightmares, feelings towards a certain person. A Demon is anything that obstructs the achievement of Freedom, of living your life free and happy. It is not some weird terrifying thing.

DCC Energy's Earnings Increases By 21%
- Written by PWKD
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Prospect of growth in IT sector is perceived in the aftermath of the recent worldwide cyber hit
Following the recent unprecedented global cyber attack, DCC, the fuel distribution-to-health services group, sees an opportunity to grow its fledgling information technology security business.
Benefitting from European fuel service station and fuel firm deals in addition to sterling weakness following the Brexit referendum, the Dublin-based conglomerate's largest division, DCC Energy, reported that its operating profit surged by 21 per cent last year to £345 million (€405.2 million).
Niall Ennis, head of DCC Technology said, "While it's a very unfortunate attack, it should drive opportunity for our security division. It's somewhere where we have a strong service proposition. There are police forces in the UK where we usually run 24/7 managed security portfolios for them where we monitor these risks and that's the type of area of the business we'd like to develop."
There was a 15 percent increase in DCC's IT security business last year. Less than 12 per cent of group earnings, the overall technology division's operating profit rose 17 per cent last year to €41.1 million. Source: Irish Times PWKD18052017

Unanswered: Data deleted - how to tell when? (using .bak and .trn)
Hi there,
We had an issue overnight when some of our data was deleted. Specific rows from specific tables.
We have backup files (.bak) from before and after, and Transaction Log Files (.trn)
How can I use these to tell when the data was deleted, and by who?

Unless you are aduting the table, there is no way to find out "who". As far as when, it's all going to depend on when you no longer find the data in the database during log restores. It'll be a best guess when, especially dependent of how frequently you back up the logs. If it's hourly, you can assume it occurred in the last hour. Nightly, then sometime that day.-- You can't be late until you show up.

Paris of the North Trailer (2014)
08 July 2014 98 mins
Seeking shelter from the trials and tribulations of city life, Hugi has built a quiet existence for himself in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere.

But when Hugi's estranged, boozy father shows up out of the blue, the precarious balance he has worked so hard to achieve is tested to the limit.

IE11 is autoconverting any URL syntax into a hyperlink, and this is fine, but the target of the hyperlink is the current page, which wrecks user flow when the resulting static content link is clicked.

Hello Wes,
The text-to-URL auto-conversion is an IE feature for all contentEditable=true HTML elements such as the content area of Kendo Editor. This functionality is entirely controlled by the browser and there isn't an API to insert the target attribute during the text to URL conversion.
You can add the target attribute later when obtaining the content, but this could be too late for your requirements.

Socioeconomic factors
The impact of the Great Recession on mental health and its inequalities: the case of a Southern European region, 1997-2013
Background: Numerous studies have shown that macroeconomic changes have a great influence on health, prompting different concerns in recent literature about the effects of the current recession. The objetive of the study was to assess the changes in the mental health of the working-age population in the Basque Country (Spain) and its social inequalities following the onset of the 2008 recession, with special focus on the role of unemployment. Methods: Repeated cross-sectional study on the population aged 16-64, using four Basque Health Surveys (1997-2013). Age-adjusted prevalences of poor mental health and incremental prevalence ratios (working status and social class adjusted) between years were calculated. Absolute/relative measures of social inequalities were also calculated. Results: From 2008, there was a clear deterioration in the mental health, especially among men. Neither changes in employment status nor social class accounted for these changes. In men, the deterioration affected all working status categories, except the retired but significant changes occurred only among the employed. In women, poor mental health significantly increased among the unemployed. Students were also especially affected. Relative inequalities increased only in men. Conclusions: The Great Recession is being accompanied by adverse effects on mental health, which cannot be fully explained by the increase of unemployment. Public health professionals should closely monitor the medium and lon ...
Review of social determinants and the health divide in the WHO European Regionwww.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/health-policy/health-2020-
La Región Europea de la OMS ha vivido notables avances en salud, aunque persisten las desigualdades tanto entre países como dentro de ellos. Gracias a la publicación del informe de 2008 de la Comisión sobre Determinantes Sociales de la Salud ahora se conoce más sobre el alcance y las causas sociales de estas desigualdades. Este informe es una revisión de las inequidades en salud a través de los 53 estados miembros de la Región europea y se encargó de apoyar el desarrollo del nuevo marco de la política europea para la salud y el bienestar, Salud 2020. Está basado en la evidencia global y recomienda políticas para reducir las desigualdades en salud y la brecha de salud en todos los países, incluidos aquellos que tienen ingresos más bajos. El informe se divide en cuatros parte. En la Parte I constan los antecedentes y el contexto de la revisión y se establecen los principios de las recomendaciones y razones para abordar cuatro grandes temas: las etapas del curso de vida, la sociedad en general, el contexto macrosocial y la gobernanza. La Parte II resume la evidencia actual sobre la brecha de salud entre los países de la Región, describiendo las desigualdades en salud y sus determinantes sociales. La parte III hace propuestas basadas en la evidencia. Y por último, en la Parte IV se describen los problemas de implementación y se ofrece orientación y un resumen de las principales conclusiones y recomendaciones de la revisión.
Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study: international report from 2013/2014 survey
Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC), a WHO collaborative cross-national study, has provided information about the health, well-being, social environment and health behaviour of 11-, 13- and 15-year-old boys and girls for over 30 years. This latest international report from the study presents findings from the 2013/2014 survey, which collected data from almost 220 000 young people in 42 countries in Europe and North America. The data focus on social context (relations with family, peers and school), health outcomes (subjective health, injuries, obesity and mental health), health behaviours (patterns of eating, toothbrushing and physical activity) and risk behaviours (use of tobacco, alcohol and cannabis, sexual behaviour, fighting and bullying) relevant to young people's health and well-being. New items on family and peer support, migration, cyberbullying and serious injuries are also reflected in the report.
Early years, familiy and education task group: report. European review of social determinants of health and the health divide in the WHO European Regionwww.euro.who.int/en/publications/abstracts/early-years,-fami
The task group on early years, childhood and family was set up as part of the European review of social determinants of health and the health divide in the WHO European Region, a study commissioned to support the development of the new health policy framework for Europe, Health 2020. The task group was asked to identify interventions, strategies and approaches that policy-makers and practitioners in the Region can use in the childhood years to improve and equalize health outcomes throughout the life-course. The report's analysis is organized in terms of early years and later childhood to reflect phases of children's experience that are distinct in many ways and require different forms of service provision. The report uses evidence from international research, a review of reports from international organizations and case studies of practices in European countries. The report's broad conclusions should be considered in conjunction with more detailed recommendations provided throughout the text.

Lignite is very poor quality coal and New Zealand has a lot of it. But so do many other countries. The lignite we have is in Southland and Otago. Some lignite is already being burned; for example, in the Edendale dairy factory. But there are plans to increase the amount of lignite mined a hundred times or more.

Mercury automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of high-value when driving their Zephyr around town. Auto enthusiasts know that good looks is built into each Mercury, and know that only the best repair Zephyr parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your Zephyr unless you wanted to buy performance and a dash of luxury both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. Anyone who owns a Mercury knows that when it comes to fixing their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Without the timed ignition systems in our internal combustion engines, we would need an alternative like the turbine engines we find in jets. One long-lasting component in your Mercury Zephyr engine that is destined to corrode from the beginning is your distributor cap. It provides the contacts for your spark plug wires. When the ignition coil sends current to the rotor underneath the Mercury Zephyr distributor cap, whichever post is making contact with the rotor will be charged and current will be sent to the appropriate wire.
Bring your Zephyr back to life with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When your Mercury needs a top quality replacement Distributor Cap, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. Need 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978 Mercury Zephyr Distributor Cap parts? We've got them right here.

Great Kit
1995 Lexus GS300
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Great kit! Instruction was very easy to follow. It looks stock with everything aligning to factory specs. I used it with my JVC X50BT receiver and it fit flawlessly for my Lexus GS300. Installation time was about an hour if you've done stereo install.
Pros: Looks like factory!
Cons: The only thing I didn't like was one of the mount hole (upper right) was a little flimsy when bolting it down so it kinda twisted. I would suggest being careful and not over-tightening that part.

text: I've been having issues with Active Sync NOT syncing with my phone since the upgrade to Froyo 2.2. I've typically had it set to download 3 or 7 days worth of email. I've figured out a work around to get messages to download to the phone as they arrive in my exchange mailbox. Change the setting 'Download past email' to '1' day. This has fixed my issue, but now I can only have one days worth of email. I've sent myself numerous emails to test my theory. Only when I set it to '1' will it sync immediately to my phone. All other settings (3 - 7) I have to manually sync. Calling Verizon now... Lator

Scottsdale, Arizona
Total Square Feet: 138,409
Construction Period: Nov 1999 to Jan 2001
Construction Team
General Contractor: The Renaissance Co. - 4636 East University, #245, Phoenix, AZ 85034
Structural Engineer: TLCP Structural Engineers - 2802 East Indian School, Phoenix, AZ 85011
Electrical & Mechanical Engineer: Peterson Associates - 7201 North Dreamy Draw, #200, Phoenix, AZ 85020
Landscape Architect: IDEA, Inc. - 815 North 1st Avenue, #6, Phoenix, AZ 85003
The Shops at Gainey Village are a specialty retail property in Scottsdale, Arizona on a 14.3-acre parcel. The horse ranch which previously occupied the site strongly influenced the theme of the project, and is reflected in the rooflines, unique towers, and even the fountains that resemble horse troughs. The overall project incorporates a traditional, historical view of ranch buildings, with a contemporary flavor. This is a warm and stylish meeting place that encourages community gathering. Individual tower elements, low one-story buildings, and shade structures give the center an understated elegance.
The Shops at Gainey Village are located at the gateway of the Gainey Ranch master plan and have become, in a short period of time, a gathering place and a point of community for the area. The center, which incorporates several restaurants, is unlike the traditional shopping experiences found in the area. With shopping, dining, and skillful tenant mix, families have the opportunity to walk and ride bicycles to the shops. The overall design encourages this activity and creates an experience for the shopper. The developer had a thoughtful vision of what the project should be and the design team at DFD worked with the client to bring the vision to life.
The main building, comprised of 91,000 square feet of upscale shops, boutiques, family restaurants and fine dining, is a one-story building with interior heights ranging from 16 to 20 feet. There are some second floor and mezzanine areas inside individual tenant spaces. The building facades reflect a fashionable village atmosphere through varied massing, non-repetitive storefronts, and quality materials. Each tower is unique, with varied heights creating a comfortable community environment.
Four freestanding pad buildings comprise an additional 47,000 square feet of space. These buildings conform to the overall design character set by the main building through massing, detailing, and specified material usage. The pad buildings are similar in character, but complement the overall design.
On-site parking is placed between the main building and pads, and is designed for ease of orientation and access. Project landscaping includes the use of date palms and other vegetation common to the area.
The site layout encourages pedestrian activity within a series of linked outdoor plazas. There are connections to adjacent properties, such as the Hyatt Resort, Gainey Suites, and nearby office developments. The plazas feature unique paving patterns with abundant landscaping that create environments for outdoor dining, kiosk retailing, and visitor enjoyment.
Both the developer and the city encouraged the heavy use of stone and articulated facades. The arcades, colors, and textures made the project unique, especially in light of the other area design projects that tend to be flamboyant and pretentious. The Shops at Gainey Village integrate a rich use of color, material, and texture to create a look of casual elegance.
