BOSTON — Outstanding customer service and product innovations are leading to unprecedented sales for Fidelity Investments' defined contribution (DC) business. As of June 30, Fidelity added nearly $65 billion in DC assets from approximately 1,350 employers, with $14 billion already committed for 2017. In addition, Fidelity retained 99 percent of its existing DC clients, many of whom have gone through evaluations of their provider relationships in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
A significant amount of employers are adding multiple Fidelity products such as managed accounts, stock plan services, health savings accounts (HSA) and payroll to help simplify the employee experience. For example, United Airlines consolidated its non-pilot 401(k) plans with Fidelity this year, extending a positive relationship that includes Fidelity as the service provider of United's equity compensation plan.
In addition, Fidelity's Financial Wellness offering is experiencing significant employer interest – 98 percent of Fidelity's DC clients have adopted the program and over 250,000 people completed Fidelity's Money Checkup assessment over the past three months. This high level of demand is in response to employees asking for more financial wellness solutions, since most people (88 percent)1 are not confident about their financial future.
"We're bringing on new corporate and not-for-profit clients of all sizes, from emerging startups to large global enterprises, and we continue to see a demand in all markets for quality service and expanded products beyond DC recordkeeping," said Jim MacDonald, president, Workplace Investing, Fidelity Investments.
Some of the organizations2 who turned to Fidelity this year are Xylem, a leading global water technology company; Estes, Thorne & Carr, a law firm in Dallas; and St. Luke's Hospital, a not-for-profit health care provider in Chesterfield, Mo. These employers also adopted Fidelity's Portfolio Advisory Service at Work to give their employees professional management of their retirement plan account assets.
For those clients using a third party to guide their provider choice, such as Coinbase3 of San Francisco, the largest bitcoin platform in the U.S., Fidelity recently announced FidelityConnect®, a website for retirement advisors that simplifies how they manage their workplace plans with Fidelity.
"Fidelity is easy to do business with," said Jody Giles, senior vice president of Old National Wealth Management, an advisory firm in Evansville, Ind. that recordkeeps multiple DC plans with Fidelity. "Their expertise servicing and designing retirement plans offers me more time to support my clients, not administration."
Fidelity's goal is to make financial expertise broadly accessible and effective in helping people live the lives they want. With assets under administration of $5.6 trillion, including managed assets of $2.1 trillion as of July 31, 2016, we focus on meeting the unique needs of a diverse set of customers: helping more than 25 million people invest their own life savings, nearly 20,000 businesses manage employee benefit programs, as well as providing nearly 10,000 advisory firms with investment and technology solutions to invest their own clients' money. Privately held for nearly 70 years, Fidelity employs 45,000 associates who are focused on the long-term success of our customers.

Once you've setup your console the first time, you'll be ready to receive a chat.
When a new chat is sent to your console, you should:
Click the Next Chat button to claim the next available chat. When you have a user waiting, you'll see a button beside the Next Chat to view a list of who is waiting. The wait list view provides more context and allows you to select a specific user to claim next. Only one agent can claim a new chat.
By default the wait list is sorted in order of who has been waiting the longest. One situation in which you may wish to reverse sorting is, if your organization does not offer 24/7 support, at the start of your organization's first daily shift. Users who have messaged, for example, overnight and already received an offline greeting letting them know not to expect a quick reply, are not as urgent as users who message during your online hours and receive your online reply letting them know you'll be right with them. If you have dozens of offline waiting users at the start of the shift, consider reversing the sort order until you've caught up with the overnight back log.
One of the most crucial service goals is to get a quick first reply to the user. You want your customers to know that you are "on it" and that they can relax and put their phone down. If your organization has setup auto-greetings for WeChat, Mini-Programs, or Facebook, your user will have already received a reply to their first message helping manage their expectations as to when they should expect to hear from you.
Your next message is meant to let them know a real person is taking care of their concern, and hopefully which specific person. For WeChat and web chat, we recommend using personalized or role-based Agent Identities so this is very clear to the user. The combination of immediate online agent auto-reply and your first greeting will look like this to your user:
Once you've gotten out an initial reply to the user, take a moment to orient yourself with whatever contextual data is available:
In particular, take note of:
The active field below in blue is editable. By default it will show your the username from the customer's channel (eg. WeChat or Facebook). If you choose to edit the user's name, the channel username is preserved next to the channel name (red box). Note that WeChat usernames are not unique and can be changed by the user at any time. If you are using multiple WeChat or Facebook accounts, the nickname of the Account is displayed in parentheses after the channel name.
Decide as an organization what kind of tags and comments you want to make for customers that will help you deliver better service. Get in the habit of quickly reviewing these profile details at the start of conversations so you don't miss any details or make your customer repeat information.
For WeChat users, a GPS location is only available for Verified Service Accounts that have activated the feature and when users opt-in to share their location. (For help setting up WeChat location sharing, look at the last section of How to Link WeChat to Grata.)
For web chat users, this location is an approximate location based on the user's IP address, if known. If the user is using a proxy or VPN, this location will be the location of their server, not the user's actual location, so be careful assuming too much from a web chat user's location. You will not see location information for Mini-Program, Facebook, or SMS users.
You can choose either Google or AutoNavi maps from the menu. Google Maps are in English and Chinese and have global coverage, but are blocked in China. AutoNavi maps are not blocked in China, but only support Chinese language and have limited detail for locations outside of China.
All conversation history for the user is preserved in the console. If the user recently chatted with your organization it may be helpful to quickly scroll up and review history so you can deliver more relevant service and customers don't have to repeat themselves.
For web chat users, you normally will be able to see the user's current page, as well as the previous pages they have viewed during their current browser session. Check the pageview tab on the right side of the console.
You have a number of different options on how best to reply to a user, and you may use several different mediums in the course of a conversation, depending on the situation.
The simplest method to reply is simply to type your response. Hit Enter to send your message or Shift + Enter for a line break.
Your organization can prepare and store multilingual text for frequently-asked questions, organized by topics. Hover your mouse over a topic to reveal a list of stored replies. Hover over an individual reply to reveal the full text of the message. Click on a highlighted reply to load the stored text in your text editor. Double-click on the All button to load your organizations default reply. Double-click on any other topic to load the first reply for that subject.
A preview of the Quick Reply text will display in the language of your console, but will change to the customer's language (if the reply is available in that language) when you click on the reply to add it to to the text editor before sending. If you have a situation where the customer engages in a chat in a language different than their WeChat language, you can change the content language for that user by clicking on the language flag:
As long as you have a working microphone and have enabled the browser permission for audio, you can hold down on the microphone icon to record a message. Move the mouse away from the icon to cancel.
If you don't see the red bar moving up and down with your voice, your microphone may not be working properly. Make sure it is enabled in the browser and then reload your console. You should see the video icon below, or click on the Secure button next to the browser URL to enable the microphone permission.
|Microphone has permission
|Click on the "Secure" button to manage permissions later
You can add a JPG or PNG image up to 2MB to a conversation by clicking the folder icon, selecting a file, and then hitting send:
Or simply drag-and-drop an image over the chat window. The drop area is highlighted for you when dragging an image into the console.
After adding your image to the console you will see a preview in the chat box. Click send to confirm, or click clear to remove the image.
Your organization may use multilingual cards to share content with your customers. Link cards contain a title, image, teaser text, and link to more content. Link cards can be shared with WeChat, Mini-Programs, web chat, and Facebook users. Mini-Program (MP) cards contain a title, image, and a MP page link. MP cards can only be shared with WeChat and Mini-Program users.
|Facebook Messenger
Simply drag-and-drop a card into the chat box and click send. You can also click a card once to preview the card text and open the link. Click Add from the preview window to add the card to your chat editor.
Cards are managed in the Grata Admin Panel.
You can add another agent to a chat in Grata, meaning more than one agent can be in a chat at the same time. In any active chat, you can hover over an agent's name and then click on the "+" icon to send them a chat request. You will see a spinner while the transfer request is pending:
Click to confirm and then the other agent will see and hear a new chat notification in their browser as well as this pop-up window:
If the other agent accepts you will see a green "OK" message next to the agent's name. If agent rejects the transfer you will see a red "No". When more than one agent is in a conversation you will see a banner over the top of the chat like this:
Forwarding a user closes your chat and sends the user back to the waitlist queue. If you accidentally claim a chat, or realize you're not the best agent to answer, click the forward icon in the top right.
If you just want to send the user back to the queue for all agents, you can simply click the Forward button at the bottom and ignore the other options.
There are several optional parameters you can when forwarding a user. The first option is to select a specific group of agents to receive your forward. Your organization will need to setup routing groups (eg. for sales and customer service teams) on the Grata backend to use this feature. After forwarding, the user will first be sent to only those agents and the name of the routing group will appear next to the user's name in the waiting list drop-down menu view.
The second option allows you to schedule a later time to send the user back to the queue so you can use the waitlist to set a reminder for your team. If you're going to send a user later, we recommend you add additional context for other agents by designating a type in the third option below, such as "Reminder". It will likely be helpful to add a note as well. When that user comes back to the waiting list they will appear with the appropriate icon next to their avatar and your message will display in the waitlist,
as well as be copied to the chat thread.
When you have finished a chat with a customer and have confirmed that she needs no further assistance, click the "X" at the top right of the chat panel to close the conversation.
If your organization is tracking chat types, you'll see a pop-up asking you to note the chat type and whether or not to send a customer satisfaction survey. You'll be required to select a chat type to close the chat, you can decide whether or not to send the survey. Surveys are currently only supported in WeChat and Mini-Programs.
We strongly recommend getting in the habit of closing chats after the conversation has come to a natural conclusion. If you leave your workstation without signing-out or closing your computer, that chat session will still be assigned to you, meaning any new messages from the user will only go to you. Your admin can setup your Grata account rules to route back to the customer's previous agent first. After giving the previous agent a chance to claim the chat again, Grata will then notify other agents.
If you would like to re-open a chat you had with a previous customer, you can click on their name in the History section of the console side bar. History includes all of your chats for the previous twenty-four hours.
If you need to access an older chat you can click on More Chats to open all previous chats across your entire organization. You can search by username across the last 2,000 users or by tag across your entire database. Click the user to open the chat session in your console.
Keep in mind when opening previous users that WeChat customer service sessions are only open for forty-eight hours from the time your customer sent you their last message. Your customer will not receive any messages from you if that session has expired and Grata will display in error message in the console. Facebook has a slightly different "24+1" policy, meaning you can message freely within 24 hours from the last message the user sent you, and outside of that window, you are able to send just one message to try to restart the conversation.

The tenth of each month is kind of a special day. It's the day my Felicity Jane kit ships (except when it falls on a Sunday, like today; it will ship tomorrow instead). It's the day the new Messy Box is revealed. And it's the day to see new products from Elle's Studio. Here's how things usually go.
- I am always excited to get my Felicity Jane kit. It's a great mix of papers and products.
- I like one or two items in the Messy Box . . . and pray that they will stop including papers and accessories with a lip motif. I keep thinking I will cancel my subscription. And then I don't.
- Seems like I love the Elle's Studio kit every other month or so; sometimes they are too themey for me. But they always have some accessories I want.
It's the tenth! I'm excited to see what's in store with the product reveals today.
Edited to add: I've just checked things out. The Messy Box is meh as usual–only a couple of lips this time. And what am I supposed to do with a paper featuring denim shorts on it? But there are some fun images too. As for Elle's Studio, I pretty much bought everything in this month's kit. 🙂

Les Houches 26th December 2017
Weather overcast with light snow
Ziggy is our second dog on her second time on "skis"
For the first time this year Chamonix is in holiday mode. The town is busy. The shops are packed and it is impossible to park. Continue reading "Brevent Vitamin D Fix"

Sunny and cold
The best laid plans gang aft agley………..
After snow early in the week it has been cold and sunny in the valley and on Thursday we headed to Flegere with touring gear. Continue reading "Flegere-the best laid plans and Les Contamines-The Best"
Maybe I am not the best person to review touring bindings due to my limited experience and lack of knowledge of the breadth of options now available. However a punters eye view can't really hurt. To explain I want my binding to work on and offpiste. I don't ski on ultralight kit and I am not going to climb 2000 metres in a day. I want the binding to be solid and confidence inspiring. Continue reading "Marker Kingpin Review"
I am one of those who has steadily criticised Compagnie de Mont Blanc for its continued failure to invest in the uplift in the Chamonix Valley. The majority of investment has centred around the Aguille de Midi due to its all year round popularity. Continue reading "St Gervais 20/12/2017"
Tuesday 19 December
Weather: Sunny , cold and windy
Snow: perfect pistes, 25 cms powder (heavily wind affected at altitude)
After the best part of 10 days of snow we decided to visit Le Tour for the first time this season. The lifts at Le Tour have been slow to open early season but we hoped more would open today. The Gondolas from Le Tour and Vallorcine, Autannes chair, Tete de Balme chair and the Plan des Reines poma opened providing access to the majority of the area Continue reading "Tuesday at Le Tour"
I rely heavily on Chamonix Meteo for the local weather report. In general the report is accurate but mountain weather can be fickle and last night was a good example. The forecast was for a minor fall of snow. That coupled with the prospect of some visibility and the recent snowfall led me to believe that opening day at Les Contamines was to be today's destination. For those of you who haven't skied Les Contamines it is well worth a visit. Easy piste skiing, great offpiste and touring. Anyway the best laid plans….
An early rise to walk the dogs found the best part of 25 cms on the car and poor visibility. That combined with a 40 minute drive to LC brought a change of plan and back for first lift at Les Houches which I knew,at least,would be open. (You will be thinking it is all we ski.)Yet again Les Houches delivered. A combination of boot top powder off piste and 4 inches of powder on perfectly groomed pistes. No stopping for photos and finished for lunch. Still a lack of lifts open
Friends from Argentiere reported powder on piste at Grand Montets but no report as yet on conditions in Pendant Bowl. The liason chair was closed but I am sure it was well skied today.
I have been working in Megeve the last 3 days and the snow cover is amazing if you can afford a coffee. Clients were staying in the Four Seasons Hotel,brand new, opulent, Ski in/out and I am sure pretty expensive.
Penny drove through Courmayeur on Friday and it had a great cover.
Anyone arriving for Xmas week has nailed it for a change.
12 December 2017
Grand Montets
30 cms fresh snow
Its true! It's been snowing pretty much constantly for days. The temperature has varied with a little rain at lower altitudes but in the main it has snowed. I can't tell you what the conditions are at higher altitudes as the lifts haven't been running much above mid stations. Although Compagnie de Mont Blanc have announced early opening dates for areas they have been pretty miserly in the lifts they have opened.
What I can say is that this is the best base of snow we have had since 2012 and augers well for Xmas skiers and the season in general. Hopefully the majority of lifts will open on 17 December.
We decided to ski at GM this aftrnnon as Chamonix Météo promised 20% sunshine today/this afternoon. The sunshine didn't materialise but visibility wasn't too bad Only two chairs open from Lognan and from what I could see there has been a lot of wind higher up. The ridges are wind scoured and be careful as no doubt the avalanche risk will be extremely high if Thursday's storm materialises. The snow was great but pretty tracked out with only two lifts open. Limited to side piste but great. Home run in good/great condition, slopes quiet and a fun day
We arrived at Prarion at 0815 to find we had been beaten to be first in line. The lifts were open on time and we had a couple of top to bottom runs with the great powder on Table d'Orientation followed by groomed Pistes to the bottom. Two more runs from the top skiing the glade behind the top of Prarion then Mur des Épines which although holding powder still needs some snow depth. The soft snow was skied out by then so home for 11. A great (short) morning. Looks like some serious snow in the next few days with the avalanche risk increasing.
Early season can be exasperating. The last three years have brought substantial snow falls early in November followed by a settled spell of warm weather all but obliterating the snow base. Chamonix cannot boast that it has provided great Xmas conditions for skiers since 2012. Hopefully things may change this year. After an exceedingly dry summer and autumn, November brought some icy weather and the Northern Alps have enjoyed some early season snowfall accompanied by freezing temperatures. Don't get me wrong the snow depth is not significant and we are in need of a storm or two.
Penny and I managed to travel through to Verbier for Opening Day on 11th November. After parking at Le Chable, in the valley floor, we encountered a 45 minute queue to validate our tickets. Although the Le Chable option didnt serve us well on this occasion it generally provides free parking and quick access to the slopes. The skiing was good on the half dozen pistes that were open but heavily reliant on man made snow. It was sunny, cold and nice to be on snow again. It is unfortunate that on many occasions that we go to Verbier it is because of poor condition in this valley only to find things not much better in the Valais.
We waited till the end of November to venture out again. Ziggy, our "new dog", had never been out touring so we drove across to Combloux for a first attempt. We were hoping that although the snow depth was limited the snow had fallen on pasture and this would make for good skiing. We parked at Haut Combloux and Ziggy enjoyed the skin up towards Les Salles. The ski down didnt go just as planned with Ziggy losing out to one of my edges and cutting her leg. Time to go home. Snow conditions at that time were pretty average with less snowfall than the Chamonix Valley.
Les Houches announced its opening for the Weekend of 2nd December limited to the 2 lifts and stopping at the top of the Maison Neuve Chair. We headed up Saturday lunchtime and then after a quick skin to the top of Prarion we traversed to the summer pasture at La Charme. Some nice soft snow at first leading on to minimal depth on frozen earth. Back to the top and home.
PS the pistes were pretty poor, hard and icy at the bottom.
On Sunday, with the sun shining, we toured to the Bellevue side and to our delight were rewarded with some great soft snow to the side of the Grand Bois Piste without another skier in sight. . A good day and delighted to have avoided the crowds (and rocks) at Grand Montets.
As I write this the forecast is showing the first storm of the winter with perhaps over a metre of snow due. Grand Montets is open from 9th December and the rest of the areas are open from the tenth. I understand that Megeve. St Gervais and Les Contamines will open for the weekend but are delaying full time opening till 17th December.

Can I recommend E.T.? Despite its reputation, it is a pretty solid game (assuming you aren't too lazy to learn how to play it).
ET's biggest problem is how damn confusing it is. You're right, though, once you figure out what you're supposed to do and what haphazard assemblage of pixels represents what, it's an okay game. Not a great game, IMO, but certainly not worth the infamy it's earned.
Also, if yall haven't tried Halo 2600, you should. I got it on a 2600 cartridge on AtariAge, and it's actually REALLY good. It plays a lot like Berzerk, and that's always a good thing.

Pharran Nicostas was a drow wight in Blingdenstone.[1]
Pharran was a drow warrior who went to Blingdestone. He refused to go home afterwards and somehow after his death became a wight. He remained sitting on the throne of the city's kings until 1479 DR, when an adventuring party hired by Kargien Dissengulp defeated him and his skeleton minions.[1]

Here are some of what we think is the more useful and important Wordpress hacks. Truthfully the World Wide Web nowadays is over-flowing with offers and support on Wordpress hacks, as everyone seems to want to personalize their Wordpress presence to help make his or her blog to be the one that truly stands out. There is nothing wrong with that of course, but often enough the hacks you find can be completely baffling to anyone who isn't already an expert WordPress user or programmer. We hope that these WordPress hacks will be helpful to WordPress beginners who are looking for useful, easy and quick to use WordPress hacks.
1. Secure WordPress hosting
Anybody who is only starting out using WordPress is going to be amazed with exactly how simple it is to use, but they will also undoubtedly have some irritating concerns regarding precisely how safe their blog and the files required to run it are. Here are a handful of WordPress hacks that will help you ensure that your Wordpress Security is tight as possible to safeguard all of that data you have created and gathered. Exactly what is the one particular WordPress file you certainly do not want other people to get inside – your "wp-config.php" file. That's where the string for connecting with your database is stored and it needs safeguarding. Find your .htaccess file and add the following code in lines as shown:
If you're still concerned about somebody hacking into your database and you have a static IP address – then it might be a good idea to restrict your WordPress administration access to only your precise IP address. To achieve this again edit your .htaccess as follows, but using your own static IP address of course:
2. Unique WordPress Pages
Have you ever wondered if you can make a new blog post look more unique than the next? If you have then here's an easy WordPress hack that can present a blog posted within the previous 24 hours in a special style sheet. Find the loop in your index.php file and make the following edits:
Of course you also need to edit the stylesheet in use, like this:
3. Too many WordPress links
Some bloggers still think that the more links they have on a page the better it will be to rank in search engines. Links are, of course, vital but unnecessary links can actually work against you in terms of search engine rankings. To get rid of unnecessary links you need to edit your wp-includes/post-template.php file:
So this
Becomes this
4. WordPress Comments
Seeing how many comments have been left on any one blog posting is good, but what about the total number of comments that have been left on your blog since it began? The number of comments left on your blog will very often be used to judge how efficient your blog is by visitors. If you can present the biggest number you have to your visitors than the better. This simple WordPress hack will let you place, anywhere you like in your blog, the total number of comments that have been left on all your blog postings:
Last but not least, when someone leaves a comment on your blog, WordPress automatically displays an "Edit" link by the side of it. However, if you want to delete it or declare it as spam, you usually have to log in to the admin panel. Wouldn't it be useful to be able to delete comments or tag them as spam in the blog itself? By tweaking the code that contains the "Edit" comments link you can. In the theme that you're using paste the following into your function.php file:
5. Social network and WordPress hosting
No one should underestimate the value of making sure that their blogs are getting the maximum exposure through various social networks. With the two biggest social networks being Facebook and Twitter it would be most careless of us to not include WordPress hacks that you can use. Mostly the subscribers of your blog will automatically receive an alert to a new posting – why not also add an automatic "blog share on Facebook" link, so that your blog posting is automatically available to your Facebook friends and can be shared by them as well. Simply add this code to your single.php file:
There already is a WordPress plugin to send new blog posts to Twitter, but what about old postings? To get your Twitter friends retweeting your old blogs add the following code, above or below the posting loop and outside the 'div' containing "the_content".

Supreme Court of Nevada
July 19, 2018
THE STATE OF NEVADA, Petitioner,v.THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF WASHOE; AND THE HONORABLE WILLIAM A. MADDOX, Respondents, and JOHN THOMAS KEPHART, Real Party in Interest.
Original petition for a writ of mandamus in a criminal
matter. Petition granted.
Paul Laxalt, Attorney General, Carson City; Christopher J.
Hicks, District Attorney, and Joseph R, Plater, Deputy
District Attorney, Washoe County, for Petitioner.
T. Bosler, Public Defender, and John Reese Petty, Chief
Deputy Public Defender, Washoe County, for Real Party in
PICKERING, GIBBONS and HARDESTY, JJ.
law imposes increasingly serious penalties on repeat domestic
battery offenders. A first offense is a misdemeanor, while a
third domestic battery offense within seven years of the
first constitutes a felony. A jury convicted John Kephart of
domestic battery, his third such offense in seven years.
Kephart's second domestic battery conviction resulted
from a plea bargain by which Kephart pleaded guilty to and
was sentenced for a "first offense" domestic
battery. The district court has ruled that it will not
consider Kephart's second conviction at sentencing
because it would be unfair, given the earlier plea deal, to
use the second "first offense" conviction to
enhance Kephart's most recent offense to a felony.
received the benefit of his earlier plea deal when he was
given the shorter sentence and lower fine only available to a
first-time offender. Before entering his plea, Kephart signed
a written acknowledgment that, while he would be sentenced
for a "first offense," the State could use that
offense and any other prior offenses for enhancement purposes
should he commit another domestic battery within seven years.
Under these circumstances, using Kephart's two prior
"first offense" convictions to enhance his third
domestic battery conviction to a felony does not violate the
plea bargain by which the second conviction was obtained. We
therefore grant the State's petition for a writ of
mandamus and direct the district court to take both of
Kephart's prior convictions into account in imposing
sentence and entering the judgment of conviction in this
has three domestic battery convictions. The first conviction
dates back to May 2010, when Kephart pleaded no contest to
"Domestic Battery-1st-Offense." Kephart was
represented by counsel and signed an admonishment of rights
form in which he acknowledged that "the State will use
this conviction ... to enhance the penalty for any subsequent
offense." The form also set out the range of penalties
for a "Second Offense within 7 years (Misdemeanor)"
and a "Third Offense or any subsequent offense within 7
years (Category C felony)."
second conviction came two months later, in July 2010. Citing
the May 2010 conviction, the criminal complaint in the second
case charged Kephart with "domestic battery with one
prior conviction within the last seven years." A second
domestic battery offense in seven years remains a misdemeanor
but it carries a longer mandatory minimum term of
imprisonment (ten days instead of two days), a higher minimum
fine ($500 instead of $200), and more hours of community
service (100-200 hours instead of 48-120 hours) than a
"first offense" domestic battery conviction.
See NRS 2OO.485(1)(a), (b) (2015).[1]
represented himself in the second case. He did so after being
advised of his constitutional rights and signing a written
waiver of the right to court-appointed counsel.[2] Initially,
Kephart pleaded not guilty.
after the prosecutor amended the complaint by crossing out
the references to the May 2010 conviction and writing in
"1st" offense everywhere "2nd" offense
appeared, Kephart changed his plea from not guilty to guilty.
No transcript exists of the change-of-plea hearing, but the
district court minutes note the district attorney
"couldn't prove the prior domestic battery."
The district court accepted Kephart's guilty plea and
sentenced him to the statutory minimums applicable to a first
offense domestic battery-two days in jail with the remaining
28-day sentence suspended, a $200 fine, and 48 hours of
community service.
plea was not memorialized in a formal plea agreement.
Instead, Kephart signed and initialed an "admonishment
of rights" form like the one he signed in connection
with his May 2010 conviction. This form advised Kephart of
the rights he waived by pleading guilty and reminded him of
the increasingly severe sentences Nevada law imposes on
repeat domestic battery offenders. In signing, Kephart
acknowledged that:
I understand that the State will use this conviction, and
any other prior conviction from this or any other state
which prohibits the same or similar conduct, to enhance
the penalty for any subsequent offense.
(emphasis added).
third, and current, conviction came in January 2017, when the
jury found him guilty of one count of domestic battery. In
charging the offense, the State relied on Kephart's May
and July 2010 domestic battery convictions to enhance the
offense to a Category C felony. See NRS
2OO.485(1)(c). Kephart objected to the State using the July
2010 conviction for felony enhancement since the conviction

If you've been holding out for the iPhone 7, you're probably going to be really disappointed
I know I am. Totally disappointed.
Let me let you in on a little secret: Every iPhone has pretty much been like the one before it. Let me let you in on a second little secret: Every iPhone coming out will be pretty much been like the one before it.
It'll just have some incremental improvements. Longer battery, better screen, thinner, bigger, better camera, more storage. Stuff!
Go back to the original iPhone. Was the iPhone 2 that different? How about the 3? 3g? 4, 4s? Now compare the the 5s to the 2. The 7 will esentially be a 6s. Hate to break that to you, but if you read the secrets above (or bought more than one iPhone in your life) you already know this. It'll have a different form factor that's similar to the 6, and it'll have some new features (all are rumors at this point).
I think there's a good chance the iPhone 7 will disappoint the pundits, because that's what AAPL does best (disappoint critics).
My favorite articles to read are the ones by iPhone users who say they are on the brink to changing to another platform as soon as the competitor's phones are better. These people buy the iPhone, but there's no making them happy. Other companies are always just about ready to ship something better than what Apple is shipping now. I guess one of these days these folk will be correct. iPhone-Killers unite!

Bright UFO Splits In Two Over Chardon, Ohio
Date: 07 October, 2018.
Place: Chardon, Ohio State, United States.
Early this month, on 07 October, a very unusual incident was witnessed in the small city of Chardon, Ohio, United States.
According to an anonymous report originally published on Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) online database and quoted by renowned UFO researcher Scott C. Waring, a local resident claimed to have seen a strange light moving slowly across the sky.
"My daughter and I were driving to the store. Suddenly, we both noticed a light in the sky ahead of us, and it looked like it was descending", the witness stated. "I thought that maybe a plane was crashing, since I saw the light descending and then a black piece coming off", he added.
The Ohio resident said he was deeply impressed by what he had just seen. He decided to stop driving to have a better look of the object. "I said: 'is that a plane crashing?' We couldn't figure out what the orange like light was", he claimed. "I pulled over and we saw a black piece coming off. I thought maybe an explosion was next and we stopped the car to look. Then the light moved and a trail seemed to follow, but then it hovered", he affirmed.
"We watched as it began to move again. Then, it stopped and later it emitted a trail. It was very slow. We were bewildered", the author of the report asserted. "We decided to drive the direction the object took, but then it got lost it in the trees. We were both very confused for quite a while; we kept looking for another half an hour but we found nothing", he continued.
In the opinion of Mr Waring, this unidentified craft has an extraterrestrial origin. "When an object falls from space with a trail this big, it surely is in world news. However, nothing about this exists except one video by an eyewitness. The object is moving too slow to be a meteor or space junk", he explained. "The speed is slow and controlled. I don't want to say its aliens... but it's aliens", he expressed.
Draw your own conclusions…

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It's a program that provides members direct access to fresh produce from local farmers. Produce differs by farmer and typical offerings include organic fruit and vegetables, free-range chicken, herbs and even unique food you may not be able to easily get at the grocery store. Reasons to consider a CSA are:
- the health benefits (no brainer!)
- ease of incorporating fresh and healthier food into your meals (solves the dilemma of figuring out dinner and not getting fast food)
- opportunity to develop a relationship with community farmers (networking! yeah!)
- knowledge of where your food came from (less traveled = more fresh = better. period. )
- awareness of how it was treated (no pesticides, chemicals, or hormones)
- pride in supporting local and sustainability efforts! (its a win-win)
The latest CSA list I could find is here and here. Sign up now so you can enjoy fresh and tasty food this summer!

An invisible magic door would solve the Northern Ireland border issue, the Brexit Secretary has claimed.
Writing in the Sun, David Davis said: "Northern Ireland could be in and out of the EU at the same time, but if that idea is rejected by the EU then I propose we invent an invisible magic door to solve the Irish border problem."
"In recent years Britain has become a world leader in magical thinking, and we could bring in the best minds to work out the exact details of how our invisible magical door would work."
"The door would be large enough to allow articulated lorries to pass through, automatically scanning their freight load and applying import duties, but obviously would prevent immigrants and criminals from entering,"
Iain Duncan Smith has reportedly asked whether the magic door could have an iron sign above it showing the words "work sets you free", and for the road leading through the buffer zone to be lined with crucified benefit claimants.
The former Minister For Manslaughter said: "This initiative represents an excellent opportunity to hound the poor and vulnerable, in a way that will appeal to sick right wingers who vote Conservative."

Topological constraints also called entanglements regulate the dynamics of every molecule in the melt. However, little is known about these topological constraints when micro-phase segregation comes into play. In the context of lithography, attention has to be focused on the capability to control the self-assembly and orientation of the nano-domains. Unfortunately, assembling the block copolymers into defect-free structures can be quite challenging. Therefore, given the potential relevance of such topological constraints on the ordering kinetics, it is critical to develop top-down approaches that are capable of incorporating the effects of topological interactions on coarse-grained polymer models. To this note, several scholars have already attempted to explore the capacity of one of the most auspicious approaches: the slip-spring models, to capture the main relaxation mechanisms of entangled polymers, but not all the relevant details have been captured.
Recently, Abelardo Ramírez-Hernández and colleagues investigated the structural information regarding topological constraints of phase separated block copolymers using a detailed model. Additionally, they also used the information obtained to evaluate the performance of a zeroth-order slip-spring representation of the same materials. Their work is currently published in the research journal, Macromolecules.
The research technique employed in their study mainly used microscopic molecular model of diblock copolymers to examine melts of polymerization degree N = 100 and N = 400. Next the researchers obtained the topological constraints for both N by using the Z1 algorithm.
The authors observed that the topological constraints were not homogeneously distributed but instead exhibited a non-uniform spatial localization as a consequence of the self-organization of the polymer blocks. In additions, the researchers noted that the specific shape of the inhomogeneous distribution was affected by the molecular weight, N. Moreover, a comparison of the microscopic information obtained from these calculations with the corresponding results generated by a direct implementation of the slip-spring model originally developed for homopolymers and thereby showing good agreement.
The study has examined how microphase segregation alters the distribution of topological constraints, both in space and along chain contours. The researchers have shown that the coarse-grained approach they employed is able to capture the leading correlation between entanglements and polymer density in micro-phase segregated, lamellar systems. Altogether, the work teach us that the slip-spring model can offer a reasonable description of the spatial organization of entanglements in ordered block copolymer systems and could therefore serve as the basis for studies of rheology in this class of materials.

The world is aghast!
The question is why? Wasn't it inevitable, just as it is for Iran to develop and eventually test one? I mean really. With the U.N. and IAEA involved what other outcome should be expected? No one, save for Israel in the case of Iran, is willing to go into either country and take away what the world community wants off the shelf.
And when in comes down to it, N. Korea's little pop-gun sized nuc (550 tons at current estimates) isn't much of a threat. Well, maybe to themselves when you consider the missile technology they would have to use. They can't get a 6,000 mile missile to fly further than a couple hundred miles.
This all presumes the test went off without a hitch. Some believe this test, like the No Dong <del <missile bottle rocket test, was a dud of epic proportions.
My bottomline is this, whatdaya gonna do? Really. As crazy as they both seem, neither Amademajihadist nor Little Kim are suicidal. They both have enough on the ball to realize any attempt to use a nuc in anger would result in two brand new parking lots, one paved with congealed sand other with baked Kimche.
In the overall scheme of things not a bad thing. Especially if both parking lots were part of a preemptive strike. But that will never happen.
And BTW, there is a significance to NKor testing today. It's the anniversary of Kim Jong-il's assumption of power.
Happy anniversary Little Kim!

Android 4.4.3 Spotted in Google's Own App
Is the next Android update right on the horizon? It sure looks so, at least according to a new application that was published by Google. Android Central was recently tipped off on news that Google's Edu Device Setup application actually references support for Android 4.4.3. Specifically, the change log for the most recent version of the app, which was released on April 16, says:
What's New• Support for new Google Spreadsheets• Support for Android 4.4.3 and non-Nexus Tablets• Minor UI updates and bug fixes
The version of the operating system referenced doesn't exist yet; the latest release by Google is Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Yes, it's possible that someone accidentally typed in the wrong number, but it's probably more likely that Google's gearing up to release Android 4.4.3 in the very near future. Several rumors suggesting its imminent release have detailed what to expect, but so far we're not looking for anything groundbreaking in the next update.

Three 2018 MHS graduates have earned scholarships to play college softball in Colorado and Oregon
Aug 29, 2018 11:53AM

By Carl Fauver | [email protected]
The Murray High School softball team had a bit of a disappointing season last spring, as their string of four consecutive region titles was snapped (placing second to West High) and they were put out of the Class 5A state tournament without placing.
But second year head coach Danielle McKay did see nearly half of her graduating seniors (three of seven) earn softball scholarships, to play at the next level in Oregon and Colorado.
"It's very exciting to see these girls move on to play college ball and they deserve it," McKay said. "I recommended two of them to a college coach I know very well and they will be teammates next year. The third one is going to play for a coach I don't know and I didn't speak to anyone from that program at all. I'm happy for all three of them."
The future collegiate teammates are Sophie Richmond and Gabbe Pond, who both signed to play for coach Megan Corriea at Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay. The Lakers athletic teams compete in the Northwest Athletic Association.
Meantime, Sydnie Monson is moving the other direction – to tiny La Junta, Colorado – to play softball at Otero Junior College.
"I posted some video clips of me playing on a recruiting website and I received an email from (Otero) coach (Dwight) Sanders," Sydnie said. "It was nice to get noticed. So I made a recruiting trip over there last March. My mom drove with me and we had a great time."
Sydnie said she was supposed to attend an Otero home softball game during her trip. But poor weather conditions forced the game to be cancelled just a few minutes before play was to begin.
"It was so cold, a couple of the bats broke during pregame warmups," Sydnie added. "My mom came with me to the game, but she stayed in the car and was not upset when it was cancelled."
Between the cold March temperatures – and the tiny size of La Junta – Sydnie said it was a difficult decision to sign to play at Otero.
"After one last talk with my parents, I just decided to do it," Sydnie said. "It turned out that was the only school I visited."
Sydnie has been working this summer at an assisted living center and plans to pursue a career in medicine. She's grateful for the work her Murray softball coach did to prepare her for college play.
"Danielle is an excellent coach, one of the better ones I have ever had," she said. "She gives her players lots of one-on-one time and is very mellow. She pushes to get the best out of us. But she never screams at you."
While Sydnie was earning her Otero scholarship – unbeknownst to coach McKay, beforehand – the second year Murray head coach did play an active role in directing Richmond and Pond up to Southwestern Oregon Community College.
"I got to know coach Corriea while I was living in the Seattle area, also coaching in the Northwest Athletic Association," McKay said. "She'll come to me from time to time when she has slots to fill. She trusts my opinion about players."
Outfielder Gabbe Pond said she has been aware of the Southwestern Oregon softball program for several years and is grateful for the recommendation she received from coach McKay.
"I signed to play there before my senior (Murray High School) season started, on my 19th birthday, March 2nd," Pond said. "Coach McKay has helped me a lot on the field to be a better defensive player. I also appreciate her putting in a good word for me with coach Corriea."
In addition to playing for Murray High, Pond has also played four years for the Utah Liberty travel softball team. She said the husband and wife coaches of that team were also critical to helping her earn her scholarship.
"Coaches John and Codee Flores were influential in my scholarship," Gabbe added. "Every senior-age girl on my Utah Liberty team signed to play college softball this spring, thanks in large part to their efforts."
While coach McKay was endorsing Gabbe Pond to coach Corriea, that's also when she recommended Murray HS infielder Sophie Richmond to her former coaching associate.
"Sophie has such a high softball IQ and is one of the best second base players I have ever coached," McKay said.
Richmond was also a member of the softball Academic All-State team.

The Psychology of Sports
When people talk about the psychology of sports, they are oftentimes referring to the mental or psychological aspects of a sport, envisioning these to be not very different from the physical aspects of a sport; thinking that the psychology of sports can be calculated and figured with similar mathematical accuracy.
While this is true in many regards –the psychology of sports can be isolated to some basic components that are crucial to every athlete in nearly all specific situations–yet to really get to the heart of the matter, and what sport psychology can do for you and your performance, we can do even better to look at sports psychology as more than the sum of its parts.
In order to dig deeper and get the most of out what sport psychology has to offer you as an individual, as an athlete, it can be very helpful to think about your own beliefs and attitudes as you approach each part of your sport or performance. After all, what we expect, believe, and think will happen tends to play a rather large part in how things actually happen. Thus the psychology of sports has everything to do with individual mental approaches.
Because personal sport psychology is formulated from our expectations and beliefs and the feelings we tend to associate with these, it can be surprising how effective it is to do some exploration in these areas of sport performance that oftentimes are overlooked for the more obvious physical factors.
It could be said the psychology of sports comes first and foremost, above the physical aspects of performance. As all athletes know, every little factor can add up to make big, real world differences. When it comes to sports psychology, I like to think of exploring and exercising the psychological aspects of ones sport as one of the most effective ways to improve performance across the board. When an individual explores their inner reactions, thinking processes or even related feelings, this tends to be like fine tuning an already well oiled machine, which allows us to achieve above and beyond previous results by making less obvious (though not any less effective!) internal adjustments.
At its best, the psychology of sports is a collaboration between the sport psychologist and client, and utilises a combination of addressing the more universal ways of improving overall psychological state and approach, with more customized focus on the areas where you most wish to excel. Oftentimes the net result of focusing on one's 'sport psychology' is being able to efficiently improve one's performance by identifying the areas where one can improve the most while exerting the smallest possible effort or making smaller adjustments.
I can assist you in assessing your current strengths and weaknesses, as well as to identify or further troubleshoot any issues you may be experiencing. If you are interested in fine tuning your performance using sports psychology, why not contact me for an appointment!

On December 17th, 2016, Heather Wolf and fellow birders endured cold, wet conditions to see which bird species they could spot in the park. Their determination paid off- they observed 21 different species, ranging from White-throated Sparrows and Bufflehead ducks to rarer varieties, including the first recorded sighting of a Cooper's Hawk at BBP. The group had come for the Christmas Bird Count, an annual tally held across the world to help ornithologists monitor bird populations.
This marked the third Christmas Bird Count for Heather, an avid BBP birder and author of Birding at the Bridge. Though sighting the Cooper's Hawk was a pleasant surprise, as was seeing a single Dark-eyed Junco, Heather's expertise helped ensure accurate counts for more common species. Later the same evening, Heather retuned to the park and counted 2,600 Ring-billed Gulls!
Heather and the rest of the Bird Count crew sent their findings to the Audubon Society, which uses the data to track the health of bird populations nationwide. The Christmas Bird Count began in 1900 and has been held every year since then, providing over a century of data. Today, it continues to prove invaluable to many of Audubon's conservation efforts.
Anyone can participate in the count, whether you're a seasoned veteran or a first-time birder. If you'd like to join next year's Christmas Bird Count, visit Audubon's website or, for locations in Brooklyn (including BBP!), check out the Brooklyn Bird Club. We hope to see you there!

There are many things that are out there which interfere with our daily lives and………appearance. Pimples, warts, and blemishes are just to name a few. While these bodily annoyances can be dealt with, they don't leave you alone right away. Like with everything else, treatment and time are important, especially when it comes to the notorious double chin. Having a double chin can make someone feel self-conscious about themselves greatly. Fortunately, a double chin isn't permanent. With determination and the tips listed below, it will disappear.
Eating unhealthy typically leads to weight gain. The weight that's gained through unhealthy eating is distributed throughout the body. This includes the neck and chin. Alter your day-to-day eating habits. Incorporate fruits, vegetables, and 8 cups of water in your every day consumption. Also, consider yogurt. If you wish to have a sandwich, then be sure it consists of whole wheat bread. Grilled chicken would be a viable choice for those who want to continue having poultry. Cutting back on calories, eating right, and eating less are key to getting rid of the double chin.
Not only does exercise cause weight loss in your belly, arms, and legs, but also in your neck and chin. Try to include cardio in your daily routine at least 3-5 times a week. Even running 1 mile would suffice, but increase to 2 miles as soon as you feel comfortable and confident enough. Combine exercise with dieting to get rid of the double chin quicker and more efficiently.
If you have the money and wish to not try the previous two methods, then you may look into surgery. Although it's the quickest and best way of getting rid of a double chin, the person is responsible for the upkeep of the outcome of the surgery.
When changing your eating habit for getting rid of a double chin, remember to carefully examine the nutritional facts label of products in the grocery store. Furthermore, keep in mind that it's best to conjoin exercise and dieting. Doing so will get rid of a double chin in no time!

The turnaround is quick. The task is tall. The Elon University men's soccer team, in just its fourth NCAA Tournament game in school history, takes on the tournament's overall No. 1 seed UCLA in Los Angeles for an 8 p.m. Pacific Time kickoff.
UCLA, lead by head coach Jorge Salcedo, is playing in its 31st straight NCAA Tournament and has won four national championships, the most recent of which came in 2002. This is the first time UCLA has earned a No. 1 seed since the 2003 tournament. Last season, UCLA was the overall No. 6 seed in the tournament.
Through the year, UCLA has put together an impressive resume. With an overall record of 11-3-4, the Pac-12 runners up are in good position to make a run at the school's fifth NCAA Tournament title. Their run starts Sunday, Nov. 24, at home against Elon at Drake Stadium.
"They're all very technically, very talented players," said Elon head coach Darren Powell. "It's a very, very talented group of players that like to play an attacking, attractive brand of soccer."
Last time the Bruins lost a match was Oct. against the University of California. The other two losses on the season came against Cal Poly and the University of California-Irvine.
In two matches against the overall No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and the Pac-12 champions, UCLA did not lose to University of Washington. On Oct. 21, the two battled to 2-2 draw. On Oct. 27, the Bruins came away with a 2-1 victory.
Other significant results this year for UCLA featured a tie against the tournament's No. 3 seed Notre Dame.
The Bruins are led by Pac-12 Player of the Year Leo Stoltz. The junior midfielder scored a team-high nine goals this season while tallying five assists and 23 points. Victory Chavez scored six goals for the Bruins this season while tallying six assists.
The swingman that could pose a dangerous threat to the Phoenix is Victor Munoz, who tallied a team-high eight assists this season.
In goal for UCLA is Earl Edwards Jr. He played every minute between the pipes for the Bruins this season and allowed 21 goals in 18 matches this year, good for a 1.11 GAA.
Last season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Edwards allowed five goals to the University of San Diego in the second half of the contest after the first half went scoreless. In result, UCLA was bounced from the tournament in what was one of the biggest upsets of the tournament.
UCLA is ranked No. 1 in both the NSCAA and College Soccer News polls. The Bruins place No. 2 in the College Soccer America and Top Drawer Soccer polls.
Elon is ranked No. 18 in the College Soccer America poll and No. 22 in the College Soccer News poll. The Phoenix come in at. No. 24 in the NSCAA poll.
Junior forward Jason Waterman sits No. 9 in the country having scored 31 points this season. He has scored a Southern Conference-leading 12 goals this season. Sophomore midfielder James Brace places second on the team and No. 3 in the Southern Conference in goals scored with 10.
"I don't think we're really that tuned in to what they're doing, as I'm sure they're not really tuned in to what we're doing as well so it's kind of like we're on an equal playing field," Lovitz said. "At the same time, we feel prepared going into the game, but I'm sure they would say the same thing. We're finding out as much as we can about them, I'm sure they're doing the same on us. We'll see what kind of game plan we can put together to hopefully get the win."
