The LEADERSHIP EXCEL® Coaching Model
Victoria Vaughan, FCIM FInstLM, has developed the LEADERSHIP EXCEL® model.
Executive coaching focuses on helping you to achieve peak performance within your leadership role rather than the focus on business performance. However, most sessions will be set within the context of your organisation. Within your leadership role you may be faced with a number of challenges including:
- Motivating employees who don't want you as their leader
- Communicating difficult changes effectively after budget cuts
- Inspiring employees to keep them engaged
- Dealing with a sudden crisis
- Improving customer services
- Increasing sales
These are just a few of the many challenges that Victoria has enabled leaders to deal with. Sometimes within coaching sessions, the session may reveal hidden assumptions or deeper issues which must be fixed first in order to achieve your original goal. If this is the case, Victoria will ask your permission to continue to overcome barriers in order to achieve your session goal.
Victoria uses a solutions-focused approach, combined with deep questioning to explore limiting assumptions and explore all the options available. This is really powerful and helps clients to focus on the solution rather than the problem.
Examples of limiting assumptions are assuming you have explored all the options available. Victoria's exploratory techniques open your mind to new ideas and Victoria often hears clients say: "Why didn't I think of that before?".
Once you and Victoria have explored all the possibilities, this may expose some competency gaps which stand in the way of you achieving your leadership goals. Victoria uses a blend of executive coaching, constructive feedback and strategic marketing to help you to discover potential blind spots and close the gaps in order that you can exceed within your leadership role. The most common blind spots exposed to-date have included elements of emotional intelligence and relationship building tools.
Why not take our FREE online assessment tool to discover your leadership strengths and weaknesses.
Creativity means more than drawing pictures. Victoria allows you reflection time to expand your thinking and take ideas to the next level. You will be able to create exciting strategies within executive coaching sessions because limiting assumptions which may have been holding you back have been exposed.
Victoria enjoys helping clients to form effective relationships to achieve short, medium and long-term wins. It is essential for you to be confident so can empower employees to become leaders and brand ambassadors. Social media has made the world a smaller place and opened up two-way dialogue between organisations and their customers. Therefore, you need to motivate and inspire staff to buy into their brands and an authentic leadership approach is required. Victoria overcomes the 'fear factor' that you may feel.
You are encouraged to practice everything you have learned within executive coaching sessions; Victoria will contact you via email in between sessions to assess goal progress. If you become stuck when practising leadership outside sessions, Victoria is available to talk through issues. Victoria will encourage you to reflect upon you leadership experience and ask what you have learned and what others have noticed about you evolved leadership style.

Geoff Doy
for School Board
Take a look around my website and you'll find out who I am, my achievements on the school board, why you should vote for me, and how to contact me. I'm excited to have you here!
This is a picture of the class of 2017 graduation ceremony, the joyful end of a thirteen year education journey.
Why you should vote for me.
From Kindergarten to 12th Grade, the Snoqualmie Valley School District's promise is to prepare young people for life - to be independent citizens in our community, whether that involves college, the military, technical school or the workforce.
It takes experience and strong leadership to deliver that promise to EVERY child in our District.
I have both the experience and the strong leadership that is required on the Board of a successful School District.
My focus for the next 4 years
Making education relevant for every child regardless of their circumstances.
Creating an environment where our staff can do their best work every day.
Involving our community, our parents, our staff and our students in every decision we make.
Our students
Support our students
Provide curriculum and encourage teaching practice that supports every single student with an education to meet their needs.
Treat all kids as individuals, regardless of culture, language or family background.
Challenge and encourage our students - the top achievers, the kids in the middle and the kids that need extra help.
Success is more than a GPA
Focus on the social and emotional health of our students. Identify situations before they become a crisis.
Teach, not only academic skills, but all the skills that students need to be successful in life.
Our staff & schools
Our Staff are our assets
Without the dedicated staff that come to work each day we will fail in our mission and never reach our vision.
We must provide the curriculum that supports the teaching of all students of every level of ability.
Support our staff with meaningful, balanced and constructive reviews to help them become the best they can.
Maintain our schools
Our schools are where our staff come to work, and our students come to learn. It is important to maintain our buildings to make sure they provide the best possible environment for teaching and learning for many years to come.
The money for our schools comes from the community. We must examine every single financial decision we make to ensure we achieve the best return on that investment. We know our community will support bonds and levies for schools when they have had meaningful input and plans make sense.
Our community
Schools are a big part of the community
Great schools are the cornerstone of great communities. A well performing school district supports higher property values and a stronger local economy.
Our school district is the biggest employer in the district and our capital projects generate an economic boost for the Valley.
Engage the community
Engage in open dialogue with Students, Parents, Staff and Community members.
Provide opportunities for people to offer meaningful input. Be transparent - discuss and debate in public.
Strive for consensus not conflict.
Make communication more meaningful
Use social media where it makes sense to connect with people.
Publish easy to understand documents that provide the key information on budgets, plans and results.
Ensure all communication is clear, consistent & meaningful.

This unique text offers a discussion of one of the most important movements in legal scholarship today: feminist legal theory. The first of two volumes, "Foundations" examines theoretical issues about the interaction between law and gender. The second volume will explore the application of feminist legal theory to specific substantive areas of the law, such as criminal law, family law, employment law, and the legal profession. In this first volume, thirty-eight articles by distinguished legal scholars and feminists address issues of equality, difference, separate spheres, essentialism, legal methodology, and theories of law. The essays, published in widely dispersed legal publications, are thematically arranged, with introductions by the editor, to provide a text for students, a convenient source for scholars and policy makers, and a comprehensive introduction for general readers. D. Kelly Weisberg is Professor of Law at Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. She has published several other books, including "Child, Family and State: Cases and Materials on Children and the Law" (co-authored with Robert Mnookin).

Perfect size and delicious with not too much fat. Just right!
Made Boeuf Bourguignon. It was amazing and got better the next day.
Packs & Weights
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packs. Most packs contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packs will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packs of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
These vacuum-sealed packs are generally packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packs you'd like in the box, you'll make that choice under "Number of Packs". Then you'll choose the total weight of the box (that is, the combined weight of all the the packs in that box).
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packs, ~1.9lbs, and the price shows as $60.78.
You'll receive 1 box, with 2 packs of lamb chops inside. The whole thing will weigh approximately ~1.9lbs and will cost $60.78.
Each pack will contain 2 lamb chops, and weigh approximately .95lbs.
You'll have 4 lamb chops in total. Each will weigh approximately .475lbs (note that one may be slightly larger and one slightly smaller).
Weight Ranges & Prices
To keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable, products with variable weights are sold in a weight range (this includes most frozen meats, with the exception of deli meats, sausages and beef jerky). We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. If a price/lb is shown with a *, it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with each weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the weight ranges for all our products:
|less than 0.99lb
|1lb - 2.19lb
|2.2lb - 2.74lb
|2.75lb - 10.24lb
|10.25lb - 19.99lb
|over 20lbs

Healthy Recipe: Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Cruciferous vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, collards, cauliflower and bok choy, are known as "super foods" for their anti-cancer properties and are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamin A and vitamin C. How you cook your veggies can affect the nutrients. Brussel sprouts can be shaved, they can be served raw in salads or they can be cooked. Brussels sprouts can also be roasted separately like in this recipe, or with other vegetables. Enjoy.
Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

saints to encounter God's glory

Answer To a Prayer
This newsletter is
the last in the series from John 15-17. If you have not read the other newsletters
from 2009, please do, as they have been a part of an incredible series.
We've all done
it or been witnesses to it, conversations between two people spoken loudly in
attempts to catch the attention of all those around. "So, I was at the
restaurant and 'insert celebrity name here' sat at the table next to me! We
actually talked throughout dinner and…" Why do people speak with such volume
when sharing information in a personal conversation? Usually they do it to get
attention and feel important. The response they get from all within
earshot is predictable; everyone stops what they are doing or saying and listens
to the one speaking. Though not for His own exaltation but for the benefit of
those around, Jesus does this very act in John 17. He is praying to the
Heavenly Father but He intends all around to stop what they are doing and listen
in on His conversation. Please take a moment to read that chapter.
If this were a
military discussion, Jesus' statement about revealing God's glory would
probably be: "Mission accomplished, commander. I am now heading back to
base." There is the lingering
question of what will happen once the physical presence of the leader is gone.
Here, in Jesus' prayer, we see the culmination of all He has shared in the
past two chapters come to a final plea: dwell and find yourself in Me, build
relationships and love each other enough to lay down your personal schedule and
preferences, know who you are, you are in Me and I am in you – you are in My
After a prayer for
protection over the believers on earth at that time, Jesus prays through the
generations to come. He is literally praying at this point in time, 2000 years
ago, with us in mind. We will listen in to what He was saying about you and me
beginning at verse 20:
"I pray also for
those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be
one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. (That is perfect love
and unity!) May they also be in Us (now that is being in the "in
crowd") so that the world may believe that You have sent Me." (NIV)
The Message puts
it like this: "I'm praying…for those who will believe in Me because of
them and their witness about Me. The goal is for all of them to become one heart
and mind – just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, so they might be one
heart and mind with Us. Then the world might believe that You, in fact, sent Me.
The same glory You gave Me, I gave them (He's talking about you having His
glory!), so they'll be as unified and together as we are- I in them and You in
Me. Then they'll be mature in this oneness, and give the godless world
evidence that You've sent Me and loved them in the same way You've loved
Last summer there
was an international, interdenominational project that was put together with the
determination to bring the Church, God's people across the globe, into unity.
The foundational statement was based on Jesus' prayer in John 17 of "all of
them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You." The question
put forth in the project was this, "What if we, the believers, actually
endeavored to answer Jesus' prayer?" God won't forcibly unify His bride;
it has to be our choice. What if we chose to be an answer to Jesus' prayer?
Us, answer Jesus' prayer? Does that sound over the top? No more than a family
in financial straits who are praying for food when you get the sudden urge to
take a bag of groceries over to their home. Recently our family took a vacation
in the snow-covered mountains of Utah. On a Sunday evening as we drove our van
up the slope, one of our tires had a sudden blowout. While getting the jack out
of the back, we realized the lug wrench was missing. Without the wrench we could
not change the tire or get the spare out of its compartment. It was cold, dark
and our cell phones were out of range so we could not call for help. After some
time on this lonely slope, an SUV stopped next to us and a man dressed in a suit
and tie got out to ask if we needed help. He found his lug wrench, it fit, and
then, disregarding his dress clothes, he knelt at our flat tire and changed it.
He was an answer to our prayer. I'm sure that at some time in your life you
too have been an answer to someone's prayer.
We all have the
complete capability of being the answer to Jesus' prayer for unity. The
precious early years of the church are revealed in Acts 2:42-47 and Acts
4:32-36. The believers, thousands of them, were united as they devoted
themselves to learning about the true love of God. They did everything possible
to cultivate relationships with each other through continual fellowship, shared
meals, and spent time together in prayer. Imagine the crowd of thousands,
meeting as one in a single place. Scripture says that they took care of each
other's financial, physical, and emotional needs. Daily they would gather in
the temple (there was only one temple) to worship together. They met in each
other's homes regularly for the Lord's Supper. The scriptures state that
they shared their meals with great joy and sincere hearts…all the while
praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all people.
Now to the
question of "what happened?" Why are we believers not availing ourselves to
this kind of unity as an answer to Jesus' prayer? Why are we not seeing floods
of new believers everyday as they did in the early church? In fact, many who are
not believers shun the message of Christ because of the lack of unity they see
in body of Christ. Over the years the church has become very quick to point out
the differences within God's people, forcing them to conform to what is
controllable so as to make a particular group comfortable or face the
consequences of having one's gift shut down and potentially kicked out as an
infidel. This action, though masked as an attempt at unity, only serves to make
the Body of Christ wounded and disjointed. The definition of a healthy body is
one of having all its various parts connected and functioning in their own
unique capacity so as to have a complete whole.
What if we chose
to speak blessings over people or hold our tongue rather than enter into gossip,
judgment and complaints? If we understand the fact that we Christians are
God's physical representatives on earth and that He is in us and we are the
temples of His Holy Spirit, then we begin to see each other in a new light. We,
those who truly love Jesus Christ, are all His Body regardless of the
denomination one attends, regardless of the inward or outward expressions of
worship and devotion given, regardless of one's age or ability, regardless of
race, gender or political views. Jesus prayed that we would all be one so that
we could be His living testimony to the world.
1 John 4 cements
this word of truth for us. Turn to that chapter and read over it. Here are a few
statements from the chapter: Christ's Spirit lives in us. We are to love one
another for love comes from God. God is love, and all who live in love live in
God, and God lives in them. We love each other because He loved us first. If
someone says, "I love God," but hates a Christian brother or sister, that
person is a liar; for if we don't love people we can see, how can we love God,
whom we cannot see? And He has given us this command: Those who love God must
also love their Christian brothers and sisters.
we draw this series to a conclusion, I am challenged to dwell in God's
presence throughout my daily life. I want and realize the need to put my
personal agenda aside and cultivate real friendships with those God has placed
around me. I want to embrace the fullness of being in Jesus' name, walking in
His power, bringing His glory and kingdom here on earth. And finally, I long to
be the answer to my Lord's prayer. I need to know Jesus and love Him enough
that I recognize Him in others who are called by His name. I see that I must lay
aside my preferences, past doctrines, and feelings so that I can walk in a
loving relationship those Christian brothers and sisters who are different from
me. I want to learn how to bless them and work along side of them in unity so
that; "we'll be as unified and together as the Godhead are- Jesus' Holy
Spirit in us and the Father in Jesus. Then we'll be mature in this oneness,
and give the godless world evidence that Jesus was sent from God and loves all
people in the same way the Father loves the Son (my paraphrase). Want to
join me in this life long endeavor?

It was only a matter of time before #MeToo broke the sound barrier and entered the music industry though I must say that from where I was, I never saw anything untoward going on, certainly not in the UK and not in the Asia Pacific region. The U.S. I can't talk about because it was foreign soil. But #MeToo continues to "trend" and one has to wonder what other industries will be swept along with what has mainly been a Hollywood created red carpet product and whether there will be some surprising U-turns and curve balls and where it's all going to end.
The world can't afford to be walking on eggshells and looking over one's shoulder. It's not the way to get on with life. It's not providing any answers other than creating an environment of fear.
At least right now, most of the accusations go back in time so much that #MeToo could be #UsToo. Is this all some payback time with Harvey Weinstein finally revealed as The King Of Sleaze, something very well known here in Hong Kong and Shanghai for over a decade, or, as actresses Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot have boldly suggested, people jumping on an overloaded bandwagon? Is this genuine rage or hypocritical and sanctimonious bullshit?
Look, we're all different, we each have our own stories and whether when in advertising and then the music industry, there were certainly enough examples of ambitious women knowing exactly what they were doing and knowing exactly what they wanted offering themselves to men to get ahead in their jobs, or else "simply" bed a man they wanted despite knowing they were married.
I should know as my ego succumbed to temptation, destroyed my marriage and caused irrevocable hurt on an beautiful woman who didn't deserve the emotional havoc I wreaked on her with everything unraveling watched on the sidelines by a young daughter who grew up trying to understand all this and see some good in it. But there's nothing good. Nothing.
So, though not taking anything away from women who have been sexually assaulted, sexually harassed and sexually abused- and sexual abuse has many different manifestations-let's at least think of the men who've gone through the same things- and possibly even worse. Yes, ladies, worse.
I keep coming back to the photograph below of Ellen DeGeneres staring at Katy Perry's best assets and this being laughed off as good clean fun. It is? In this highly sensitive politically correct world full of hand wringing and sanctimonious speeches?
Now imagine this wasn't Ellen DeGeneres, but an actor like Johnny Depp, or Orlando Bloom. Hell, any actor, any man. ANY man. Any MAN. Imagine the public outcry and more hashtags. Imagine the indignation from Hollywood and those who suddenly see themselves as patron saints of morality and female empowerment.
Where have they been hiding for all these decades? Why choose- CHOOSE- to be the silent minority? Was it even a minority? Is it a minority today? That argument about a glass ceiling is irrelevant today. We're all in this thing called life together. We shouldn't give more and more oxygen to Hollywood bollocks and where The Orange House has become one tedious reality show.
When with PolyGram, Universal and EMI Music, I saw nothing approaching what many say happened. Maybe it was a different time. Yes, as mentioned, there were the ambitious women and female executives who wanted to get ahead, but at least in my case and during my time in the music industry, we were scared to fool around in the workplace.
Outside of the workplace was different. But in the workplace, we had seen too many males reported to Human Resources for sexual misconduct, especially after an office party, and found guilty no matter how innocent they were. That door didn't swing both ways.
There was a helluva lot more of everything happening in the advertising industry where the more attractive females were promoted and who then used their looks and what they knew about someone's personal life to join the client side.
There were the models who did whatever they could to get the big jobs that required travelling overseas and being paid big bucks. Was this anything more than using one's sexuality to further their careers?
Hell, it's happening all the time right now and where men have to be so careful about who they take a selfie with in case it ends up on social media.
In Hong Kong, many of us know the models who, as the Chinese say, "want to catch a big fish". Many do. In the service apartments where I stay, girls from Eastern Europe and Shanghai live in luxury thanks to the generosity of rich sugar daddies who have the wife and family and public image and something younger on the side.
Knowing some of the girls, it's a great holiday for them with all expenses paid and HK$100,000 a month for shopping whereas for some it means getting a permanent Hong Kong identity card in return for a one year marriage contract. It's just another business transaction.
What's rarely talked about are how males are used by other males to become enablers and happy to be so because it often means being in the good books of those who can further one's career.
I'm not proud of it, but if I really tapped my memory bank, I was a "loyal" enabler to the Chairman of the music company I had recently joined. This started with me hooking him up with two Australian working girls based in Hong Kong. He was impressed and grateful and this role developed. Career advancement? Maybe.
There was the night during one of his visits to Hong Kong and we were in one of those outrageously expensive karaoke lounges with hundreds of female escorts. "That last woman you got me the last time I was here was crazy," he whispered to me. "She stubbed a cigarette butt into my neck which created a huge burn. I had a hard time explaining that to my wife. Have you tried her?" I just shook my head trying to absorb everything I was hearing from the worldwide Chairman of my company. On the one hand, I was flattered he would trust me with all this information, but at the same time scared that this might become another addiction. My Chinese counterpart sitting with us wanted nothing to do with anything we were talking about. All he ever said was that "the old man says you know what he wants". I guess I did.
The Mamasan kept bringing out 6-7 girls at a time. I wasn't interested as I was living with someone who knew some of the girls. "I don't like Chinese girls and I don't trust Eastern Europeans" mumbled the Chairman. "Can you get me some Australians who can give me what I like? Two girls? You can join us". I made a call, the girls were available and we quickly left for the hotel.
As the girls needed a special key to get up to the Penthouse floor, I had to wait for them in the bar and bring them up to his suite. They arrived with two huge bags and proceeded to show me the toys inside. After telling them to zip up their bags as people were watching, we got up to the Chairman's room. He was in his bathrobe, the champagne and caviar was on ice and after talking prices, he asked if I wanted one for a short time. With one being coked up to the gills and the other new to the business and asking if she could be with me, I took her to the other room just to keep her away from the short, fat old man with her friend. My girlfriend was waiting for me at home and I had to leave before telling the Chairman that this new girl was "disappointing". He didn't care. He paid her and got the hell out of there. The girl with him was satisfying his needs. My job was done. I had produced the goods.
Around three months later, I received a call from Tokyo. The Chairman was there for budget meetings and things were not going well. I knew why: he didn't like Japanese females. He wanted our Japanese management to get me on the first flight out to Tokyo with the same Australian girl he had met in Hong Kong. Money was no object.
On the flight over, she told me how he had flown her to New York and Paris. I wondered why he wanted me in Tokyo when he could just call her. "He likes you", she said. "He finds the others around him to be dull. He says that you're dangerous. He likes that".
Again, I went into internalising myself. Despite not having any contacts in Tokyo and knowing the foreign girls who worked the clubs were controlled by the yakuza, I met a Canadian kindergarten teacher in the hotel we were staying. After one-on-one sex, she asked if she could call a friend to join us- who turned out to be a stunning black girl teaching English in Tokyo. She became the Chairman's partner the next night. The budget meetings went off without a hitch and my stock in the company rose. My priorities had changed and relationships were discardable. Ambition can be a bitch.
There are plenty more stories like this and how far this enabling went, but the key is that men can't just roll over and admit #metoo. There has to be some closure.
As someone who went along for the ride that took me to places I never thought I would end up, there's now that important "third eye" where I can see what's going on, who to trust and when to walk away.
I respect women and have more female friends than males for company and with who I can have honest and creatively fulfilling conversations. These are extremely smart women in the creative industry, a barrister, restaurateurs, and entrepreneurs. They don't follow hashtags. They don't have time for #metoo. If there's a male or female or company creating problems for them, they know what to do. They don't whine. They're "sisters doing it for themselves". They don't need Oprah telling them what to do.
I'm proud to be part of their inner circle, but it's not something I think about and work on. It's all very organic and with mutual respect. Maybe it's living in Hong Kong that has brought me to this place. But now that I am here, it's about making a difference.
Part of this is to try and bring good people together- not to just talk and have this lead nowhere, but to create tangibles that will make us feel better about ourselves so that this feeling can be infectious and lead us to some form of enlightenment that can inspire those needing motivation, inspiration and not sinking into isolation.

Parallel For and ForEach
The Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data, or SIMD, type of multiprocessing is a staple of multicore programming. In such a process, the same instruction stream is used for a number of data streams; think of it as a "for all these data items, do this to each one of them". Often it is realized by a parallel
for-loop. Java, however, has no parallel
for primitive, so we'll build one on top of the work set abstraction.
1. Dividing the Work
The key to dividing work is to split it in work units that are large enough that the switching overhead is very small compared to the total execution cost, yet small enough that all available CPU cores are utilized and that difference in execution cost among the work units can be compensated for by moving units to other cores. Let's go through these three requirements one by one:
Large enough to avoid switching costs: Let's say that we are to perform a very fast operation 1000 times. If the cost of the operation is 1, and the overhead inherent in every work unit is 10, we get the following total cost, depending on the number of operations in each work unit:
Total execution cost for different work unit sizes Ops/Unit Units Cost 1 1000 11000 10 100 2000 100 10 1100 1000 1 1010
Small emough to keep the cores busy: As we can see in the table, the more operations we pack into each work unit, the less the total cost becomes. The lowest total cost is when we put all the fast operations in a single work unit. But this hides an important fact: The total cost isn't equal to the total runtime! Since each work unit executes concurrently with all others up to the number of cores, the total execution time changes in a way that is much more attractive. Assuming a ten-core system, we get:
Total execution cost and time for different work unit sizes Ops/Unit Units Cost Time 1 1000 11000 1100 10 100 2000 200 100 10 1100 110 1000 1 1010 1010
That looks a lot better! All cases with more than ten work units keep the cores busy, since we can give each core at least one work unit. The case with a single work unit is now the next to worst-performing, since it results in nine idle cores. We get the shortest execution time for ten work units of 100 operations each - precisely when the number of work units equal the number of cores. For all cases when the switching cost is negligible compared to the cost of the work unit, this is the most optimal.
Small enough to compensate for differences: In the examples above we have assumed that the work that needs to be done is of a constant, measurable cost. In most cases, this is not known in advance, and the cost can vary wildly. First, let's get rid of the overhead cost; to avoid the typical large numbers, we'll just assume a switching cost of zero. Let's say that we have two types of operations: Fast and slow. The fast operations have a cost of 1, as before. The slow operations have a cost of 50, but are comparatively rare - only one in a thousand operations. For our example, then, we can assume that we have 999 fast operations and one slow. If we split the operations into ten units and submit them, nine cores will get 100 fast operations - a total execution cost of 100 - and one poor core will get 99 fast operations and one slow - a total execution cost of 149, almost 50% higher.
However, if we split the work into 50 units of 20 operations each, then, provided that the cores work off a common queue, nine cores will process five work units each for a total execution cost of 100. The tenth core will (we assume for simplicity) start with the slow operation (50) followed by 19 fast operations (19) and reach an execution cost of 69 after the first work unit. When it has done a little more than one and a half work units more, it will also have reached a total execution cost of 100. At this point the tenth core has claimed three work units, meaning that a total of 48 work units are either completed or about to be completed. But the two units left can now be grabbed by any two of the first nine cores, and be completed in 20 units of execution cost. When all units have been processed, the cores that have done the most work will have a total execution cost of 120. This is still more than the ideal case where each core ends with an execution cost of 104.9, but where the previous example was 42% above ideal, this is only 14% above.
As we keep splitting the work even finer this overhead is reduced, but sooner or later we can no longer disregard the switching cost and performance starts to suffer again.
The rule of thumb I have is: Split the work into work units that are just big enough to make the switching cost negligible, but never in more than four times the maximum number of cores they may run on.
Now that we can divide the work, it's time to look at the code.
2. Integer Loop
The integer loop is parameterized by two numbers: The lowest and one-beyond the highest integer. The canonical form is
for (int i = low; i < high; ++i) { ... }, and even if
high is one-past the highest value
i will ever have in the loop, the idiom is so strong that designing the interface with that in mind makes sense.
We also need an interface for the client:
public interface ParallelFor<R> {
* Execute for (int i = a; i < b; ++i)
public R call (int a, int b) throws Exception;
The implementation is then:
public void parallelFor (
int a,
int b,
int minWorkUnitSize,
final ParallelFor<Result> pfor
) throws Exception {
int delta = b - a;
int step = delta / (getNumCores () * 4);
if (step < minWorkUnitSize) {
step = minWorkUnitSize;
int i = a;
while (i < b) {
int start = i;
int end = i + step;
if (end > b) {
end = b;
final int fs = start;
final int fe = end;
execute (
new Callable<Result> () {
public Result call () throws Exception {
return pfor.call (fs, fe);
i = end;
3. Iterator
In the iterator case we can't split the work into work units, as that would require[1] iterating over the whole collection and creating N separate sub-collections that can then be fed to N work units. Instead, to iterate over a
Collection, we will first obtain an
Iterator for that collection. From that iterator we will then feed N buffered iterators that are used by the same number of work units:
The buffered iterator is simply a
java. that has a prefetch buffer. Because iterators aren't thread safe by default, the buffered iterators must synchronize on the collection iterator when retrieving items. The prefetch helps amortize the synchronization overhead.
public interface ParallelForEach<T,R> {
* Execute for (T t : iter)
public R call (Iterable<T> iter) throws Exception;
We will simply submit as many work units as there are cores, and let them use a buffered iterator linked to an iterator over the collection. If fewer cores are available than the number installed, the superfluous work units will receive empty
iter iterables.
public <T> void parallelForEach (
final Iterator<T> iter,
int size,
int maxPrefetch,
final ParallelForEach<T,Result> piter
) throws Exception {
int numWorkUnits = getNumCores ();
if (numWorkUnits > size) {
numWorkUnits = size;
int chunkSize = (int) Math.ceil (((double) size) / numWorkUnits);
final int prefetch = chunkSize < maxPrefetch
? chunkSize : maxPrefetch;
for (int i = 0; i < numWorkUnits; ++i) {
execute (
new Callable<Result> () {
public Result call () throws Exception {
return piter.call (
BufferedIterator.<T>asIterable (iter, prefetch));
A special case exists for collections that implement

Words of Appreciation for Heartland Health Care and Rehab Center - Sarasota
I am writing you today to emphasize the totally positive experience I had throughout my 10-day stay at Heartland – Sarasota. I was assigned to the short-term post-op orthopedic wing, having had a total hip replacement.
The business office and receptionist were so welcoming and helpful. All the nurses and aides were so helpful and caring throughout my stay. They all worked together so well taking care of all my needs and answering all my questions/concerns. The physical therapists were just exceptional in every session I had. I felt totally comfortable in their hands knowing how skilled they were. The occupational therapist was very skilled, as well. The complete facility was spotless. The food was very good and nutritious and included many offerings. The dietician was very accommodating, as well.
When my discharge day was approaching, the social worker worked very hard to get all the necessary paperwork, prescriptions, walking aids, etc. complete. My discharge day was completely organized and seamless. I said my heartfelt good-byes and was on my way home. This is a state-of-the-art, 5-star facility with an amazing staff. I will always recommend Heartland to all I know and come in contact with!!

In an apparently unpatriotic move, osensibly triggered by health concerns, GNP Representative Park Jin has launched the "Group for Cleaning up Boilermakers." Sporting signs denouncing the drink, Park launched the campaign Sept. 14. In an apparently partisan move, Uri Representative Yoo Ihn Tae declined joining the group and was quoted as saying "How can I live without boilermakers?" Vice Speaker of the National Assembly Park Hee Tae said "I cannot join the group, as I'm the leader of the boilermaker lovers."
For those who don't know what a Boilermaker is, watch any Korean TV drama, or go out for an evening drink with a politician, businessman or gangster (or someone who is all three). Or just see the recipe here.
On a more serious note, this new anti-boilermaker campaign comes shortly after the release of a study by Hongik University professor Chang Keun Ho, which notes that, in 2002, Korea ranked fourth in the world in consumption of distilled liquor (like whisky and soju), trailing only Russia, Latvia and Romania. According to his study, Koreans drank some 4.5 liters of distilled liquor in 2002 (and that doesn't count beer). The average Korean over age 21 consumed 68 bottles of soju and 248 bottles of beer in 2003. Some 20 percent of Korean adults have signs of alcohol addiction, according to the study.

Review: Countdown to Killing Kurtis - Lauren Rowe - June 2015
Growing up Charlene was always her daddy's girl and was told she was amazing and could do wonders, that she was the prettiest and smartest girl in the world. As she got older, Charlene planned to go to Hollywood and become a famous actress like Marilyn Monroe. It even helped that she looked similar to Monroe. When Charlene was in her teens, her dad left, and Charlene had a new step-daddy, that was until one night she snapped. Put into foster care, Charlene meet a guy who would become her best friend and boyfriend. Charlene then went to Hollywood and met Kurtis and later married him. Though of course, he was like any sleazy movie producer full of promises but no follow through, he also was a bit of a mean drunk. Charlene decided that Kurtis must pay and therefore decided that in one year Kurtis would be dead as nobody double crosses Charlie Wilber's daughter. Countdown to Killing Kurtis had a dark fiction feel but was more of a romantic suspense novel with a bit of a killer twist to the characters. Countdown to Killing Kurtis by Lauren Rowe was an interesting read and perfect if you are in the mood for a Dark Romantic Suspense novel.

This volume brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars around an important question: how has migration changed in Europe as the European Union has enlarged, and what are the consequences for countries (and for migrants themselves) inside and outside of these redrawn jurisdictional and territorial borders? By addressing this question the book contributes to three current debates with respect to EU migration management: 1) that recent developments in EU migration management represent a profound spatial and organizational reconfiguration of the regional governance of migration, 2) the trend towards the externalization or subcontracting of migration control and, 3) how the implications of Europe's changing immigration policy are increasingly felt across the European neighborhood and beyond. Based on new empirical research, the authors in this collection explore these three processes and their consequences for both member and non-member EU states, for migrants themselves, and for migration systems in the region. The collection indicates that despite the rhetoric of social and spatial integration across the EU region, as one wall has come down, new walls have gone up as novel migration and security policy frameworks have been erected – making European immigration more complex, and potentially more influential beyond the EU zone, than ever.

I have a confession: I've never been camping. Not because I haven't been invited, but because I've never wanted to go. In fact, when I vacation, my idea of roughing it is when I'm forced to stay at a hotel that doesn't have an ice machine on each floor.
Recently, I traveled to Canada and didn't really feel relaxed until I was safely within walking distance of the gentle neon glow of a Starbucks sign.
Now, I get it, nature can be absolutely breathtaking. But so can a plush suite with a cavernous bathroom featuring blue and white tile cloud mosiacs and five shower heads. I'll create my own rain forest experience, thank you very much, and I'll probably follow it up with room service.
But what if you could combine the best of both worlds? Have you heard about the new "glamping" trend which marries the folksy outdoor fun of camping with the "someone else will do the heavy lifting" glamour of a 5-star hotel?
Sorry, I'm still not buying it. Glamping can take a hike.
More from The Stir: 6 Awesome Benefits to Camping as a Family
Though it seems to be catching on--heck, even the Real Housewives, no strangers to luxury, are (sort of) embracing it--glamping still seems like staying at an upscale but unfinished Holiday Inn and pretending you're one with nature. And the pseudo-backwoods experience costs nearly as much as you'd pay to stay in a room with four walls! Imagine!
Plus, to me it seems like cheating. If I'm going camping, I'm building a fire, toasting some s'mores, and shivering in a tent while I await being sprayed by a skunk--the whole nine. When two hunky butlers hand you chilled flutes of champagne, honey, that ain't camping!
As a mom of three, I've thwarted numerous camping requests by appealing to my boys' sympathetic side.
"C'mon, fellas," I'll say. "You know Daddy can barely get the mail without contracting poison ivy. How could we possibly take him into the woods?"
Plus, I cringe every time they use a port-a-potty at a suburban ball field. I can't image watching them plunk their little tushies down in a forest of who-knows-what??
I've thought about pitching a tent in our backyard -- but it's currently being patrolled by a groundhog the size of a Fiat, so that's on hold for now.
As a child, I'll admit, I was drawn to the green uniform worn with pride by so many of my Girl Scout classmates. Despite the allure of their badges and what I imagined was year-round access to those coveted cookies, it wasn't enough to make me forsake my fluffy down comforter to sleep on a bed of pine needles.
I'm sure I'm missing out, but even as an adult, I have a mini panic attack each time I see a spider in my bathroom. How could I possibly defend myself or my kids against a charging moose, hungry bear, or deadly rattlesnake? Thankfully, as a Hilton Honors member, I'll probably never have to.
My high school crush, rocker Evan Dando of The Lemonheads, pretty much summed it up for me in the song The Outdoor Type when he sang, "I can't go away with you on a rock-climbing weekend. What if something's on TV and it's never shown again?"
Of course, this was long before the advent of TiVo and DVRs, but I appreciated the sentiment then and still do today.
I think he really says it all when he warbles, in what has become my personal anthem, "God bless the great indoors!"
Do you enjoy camping? Would you consider glamping?

The armored vehicles Israel produced by BASTION HLS LTD are considered the best in class because of their unique battle-ready design, combat features, swift mobility and complete protection from bullets and explosives. Every vehicle design is carefully conceived to accommodate individual needs of clients that are military, police and security agencies.
The armored vehicles Israel provide safe transit to soldiers in the combat area. They are used in war zones where the soldiers expect close firing. In this situation, it is only a secure truck can ensure safety of life and belongings. Seated in protected trucks, a fully armed platoon can inflict heavy casualties on enemies. The soldiers can easily penetrate into the enemy area and uproot the opponents.
Patrolling as a security measures ensures peace and tranquility in disturbed areas. Military personnel, police and security agencies responsible for ensuring peace in their given territories go on patrolling in combat vehicles that keep them safe from surprise attacks by hidden outlaws. Army patrols borders; police parties patrol interior areas and security agencies keep a watch over sensitive areas. BASTION HLS LTD provides patrol trucks that make a fortification around the patrolling party. Stationed at one place, these trucks are just like steel forts shielding the guards from armed enemies.
It is much easier to keep a watch over a protected area in a protected truck. Sitting inside a truck, the guards can keep a close watch over a protected territory and also they can swiftly move from one place to another, if they find any suspicious activity in the area. The truck would provide them the mobility they need to stand guard.
Riot control
Rioting public needs firm handling that police give with the help of arms, ammunition and protection. They need protection to stay safe from the disobedient mob adamant on damaging everything and everyone that comes in their way. But the crowd automatically disperses after seeing the police party in armored trucks specially equipped to deal with mob with iron hands. BASTION HLS LTD provides riot vehicles to police across the globe.
Civilians stuck between rioting public and riot like situations are evacuated in safe vehicles. Even ambulances are made combat ready to evacuate kids, old and ailing people from unfriendly situations. These evacuation vehicles are also rushed to battlegrounds to bring wounded soldiers safely to nearest hospitals. These vehicles provide mobility with security to evacuated people and goods.
BASTION HLS LTD provides special purpose vehicles for cash transfer. Banks and financial companies use these vehicles for transferring cash from one point to another. They need armored vans for safe transportation of expensive goods, sensitive documents and cash, jewelry and other such items. These vans can be customized to accommodate goods and human.
In addition to vehicles, BASTION HLS LTD also provides tactical equipment Israel that is used by army as well as by adventure lovers. These gears make soldiers battle ready and prepare outdoor enthusiasts for outdoor activities. They have found uses in combat and non-combat situations.

How Do I Back Up My Web
Yahoo mail is a single of the trusted and most strong sources to make on the net communication via e-mail attainable. Gmail (or Google Apps for E mail) has a constructed-in Mail Fetcher function that lets you download email messages from five various e-mail accounts that help POP access. Setelah Anda mengubah salah satu sandi account, kembali ke Account Tersambung di Outlook Internet App, lalu hapus sambungan yang baru Anda buat. This method could also load spam and other hacker scripts into your Gmail account. Anda mungkin membuat account Windows Live ID menggunakan alamat e-mail dari layanan lain, seperti Gmail atau Yahoo, dan menggunakan sandi yang sama untuk kedua account tersebut. We very propose that you login to your account often to overview essential information sent by your college's faculty, staff, and administration, some of which may well be time sensitive. When you forward a message, Outlook as soon as once more assumes you want to use the similar account the message was sent to. You can override this if needed. Click the 'Test Account Settings' button to make sure the settings you've entered are appropriate.
Or, better however, if you already have a second account then just log into that to make notifications on your other account. Yahoo and hotmail do not do not enable this, although you could be in a position to upgrade to a paid account and get this functionality. No connectivity suggests that there would be no way to notify your phone of the e-mail (unless it were an old telephone primarily based method). Tapi bagi Anda yang menerima puluhan email atau bahkan ratusan e-mail tentu akan terasa kekurangannya terutama dalam hal biaya (menambah biaya, karena harus selalu connect ke web). Karena bersifat sebagai perantara, e-mail tersebut akan membutuhkan waktu yang lebih lama untuk sampai ke tempat Anda. Locate a hyperlink to uncover e-mail addresses, and then enter in your 1st and final name.
I have set up the account on my iphone four and despite the fact that I am capable to acquire incoming mail, i am unable to send out my mail. Collectively with our spam filter, it keeps you secure from any malware that may perhaps harm your files, making your email account a safer location. While all of the above data can be found by a reverse email search, there are a few things you will need to preserve in thoughts.
Explanation #3. Your ISP's email service isn't trusted and you consequently strategy to move to a totally free web based e-mail service like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and so on. Of course, queries will be raised as to how secure the method is, when the social advertising and marketing platform comes beneath scrutiny for its SM service, but its greater to have your e-mail address and not use it, than to want it and not have it! When you develop a new message, Outlook 2010 assumes that you want to send the message from the e mail account you are functioning in right now. When you are replying to a message, Outlook assumes you want to use the very same account the message was sent to. You can override this if required.
BlackBerry customers will have to give a Internet Access URL as component of the set up procedure to connect their device to e-mail. When you mark e mail as spam, not only do the e-mail messages go to your spam folder, but the e-mail addresses (senders of the spam messages) are added to the Blocked Addresses list.

Retrocrush is a huge collection of links to information about advertising, fashion, music, photography, design, and all sorts of other stuff from the past. I didn't spend much time there, since five minutes at that site could easily turn into three hours; of the links I tried, though, by far the best was the collection of 1920s advertisements for the Chicago Rapid Transit Company. Sadly, there are no reproductions available of my favorites, but you're welcome to buy this original for me.

Yoga, a practice that has helped spark the dawning of the age of health and wellness in Western societies. The United States is a country filled with people accomplishing great things at a rapid-fire pace, the cost of that culture is catching up with us, and the need for balance is critical. Yoga is a practice that guides its practitioners towards physical, mental, and emotional balance, driven, of course, by a knowledgeable and experienced master.
Yoga in Jackson Hole – Meet Neesha
Here in Jackson Hole, we have been experiencing a rise in yoga studios, classes, and instructors, and we are glad of it. Here at Snow King Resort, we are fully committed to inspiring and fostering health and wellness for all of our guests. On that note, we are pleased to introduce you all to our local master yoga instructor, Neesa Zollinger. Not only does she own the nearby Akasha Yoga Studio, but she's also our resident yoga instructor primarily teaching yoga to private events. We sat down to chat with her about all things yoga.
Neesha, what initially brought you to yoga? Tell us a little bit about your yoga journey so far.
"I have always been curious about the body and how it feels, and have recollections of stretching on my own as a kid… but the formal beginning was when my modern dance teacher Terrie Lauterbach-Cotts, invited me to her yoga class. That journey began in 1990. Since that time, I have gone through many incarnations as a practitioner and a teacher. First, I offered yoga to dancers and then eventually branched out. I met Margot Snowdon in 1999, and after studying with her, I began a 7-year journey to become certified in Anusara Yoga. Shortly after certification, I began teaching yoga intensives, workshops, and teacher trainings. At times, I was traveling around the globe to teach. From eight teaching tours throughout Europe and the Caribbean to teaching here in my home studio in Jackson, I have discovered that Yoga is a beautiful commonality that crosses cultures and language."
"For me, yoga was very healing in the sense that it gave me more strength in my joints. The philosophy and psychology of yoga that you get tidbits of during class are beacons of light in this often busy world."
What are the top three benefits you notice your students receive from your yoga classes?
"1. Ease in the body, 2. ability to tolerate life's daily stressors and cope with the big challenges with more resilience, 3. physical Strength."
RELATED: Living Like a Local in Jackson Hole With These Insider Tips
If someone has never before tried yoga, what advice or guidance do you have for them before coming to your class?
"It depends, when I'm working with a group privately, I tailor the class to their specific needs and practice levels. In the studio, I recommend first learning the basics from an introductory series or a handful of private lessons."
"But for all classes, come with a beginners mind (even if you're not a beginner), curiosity, self-awareness, and accountability for your body and its' limitations."
What are the most popular yoga poses (in your observation), and why do you think that is?
"Standing poses utilizing both legs because they simultaneously strengthen and stretch. They also serve to empower; nearly everyone is able to do some version of all of these."
What drew you to teaching yoga in partnership with Snow King Resort?
"Yoga is a great compliment to a vacation or a corporate retreat. Yoga is well known, and people are interested in either trying it or keeping up with their practice while away from home. I want to share in the joy of it!"
Which aspect of your yoga practice do you currently enjoy the most?
"The common understanding of yoga is its postures or poses. This is an incomplete understanding of yoga. Yoga is a practice of awareness, a way of tapping into one's essence and interacting with the outside world from that place. Currently: I love moving and exploring in my body. I love to practice being consciously skillful and aware; doing for others as much of the time as I can. This all brings me into the practice of living my yoga."

"We offer a full range of classes a few blocks away at Akasha Yoga 150 East Hansen Ave."
What have been your biggest hurdles in running and operating your own yoga business?
"I believe that the biggest hurdle is similar to what most small business owners experience: we got into the business because we are passionate about something – not actually knowing much about business. It has been a stretch to develop skills in management and marketing while having enough time to teach and continue to evolve as a yogi and teacher."
When you are dealing with said hurdles, which aspects of your yoga practice help you navigate them with more tranquility and grace?
"Breathing is key. Also, the philosophical anchors of yoga are helpful reminders. Selfless service, love, compassion, and trusting in the larger flow of life are incredibly helpful when I am stressed about any aspect of running my business."
Do you have any exciting yoga-related events coming up?
"I am traveling to Europe to teach soon! Our studio has a training coming up in how to teach teens yoga, a men's class, building resilience through mindfulness and more! Our yearly retreat to Mexico is coming up in January, which I am always excited about!"
Thank you, Neesha, for taking the time to chat with us about all things yoga! We have enjoyed taking private lessons from you, and we know our guests have as well. We are especially thankful for your continued dedication to bringing yoga to the corporate world through teaching classes to our business guests during their events. Thanks to you, Jackson Hole residents and visitors have access to creating more balance in every facet of their lives. We wish you the best of luck on your current and future endeavors, and we'll be seeing you on the mat very soon!

Employee Disciplinary Procedures
Policy Number: IV.09
Policy Level: Operating Policy
Originally Issued: May 21, 2014
Reviewed: November 16, 2017
I. Policy Statement and Purpose
This policy specifies the structure and procedures for progressive disciplinary action or sanctions in cases of misconduct by employees of the University.
As specified in the Employee Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibilities, conduct that is contrary to the standards of the Code may be considered unacceptable and in some instances may require disciplinary action where the alleged misconduct is investigated and resolved in a fair, responsible and timely manner. University discipline and sanctions, as distinguished from types of departmental counseling, reprimand, or action, should be reserved for employee misconduct that is either serious in itself or is made serious through its repetition and/or its consequences.
The authority to discipline employees in appropriate cases derives from the shared recognition by employees and the administration that the purpose of discipline is to maintain conditions supporting each employee's ability to fulfill their duties in working towards the common purpose of achieving the University's mission, and to maintain conditions where all members of the University community can avail themselves of the programs and services offered by the institution.
II. Disciplinary Procedures
As professionals, most employees are clearly dedicated to performing their duties related to achieving the institution's mission. However, on occasion, it may be necessary to investigate and resolve instances of unacceptable behavior or conduct in a fair, responsible and timely manner. The institution supports a progressive disciplinary structure that encourages and mentors employees when they conduct themselves inappropriately or violate University policies and procedures. While recognizing that a progressive discipline process is desired, more serious instances of misconduct may need to be addressed outside the progressive structure and proceed immediately to more severe actions or sanctions.
In general, the progressive disciplinary structure will proceed through the following steps:
- Informal Verbal Counseling/Coaching
- Formal Verbal Counseling/Alert
- Written Counseling/Formal Written Reprimand
- Suspension
- Dismissal
Informal Verbal Counseling/Coaching
In instances of unacceptable behavior or conduct that are considered minor infractions and isolated incidents, informal verbal counseling and coaching may take place between an employee and their supervisor (the College Dean in the case of faculty members). The informal counseling and coaching should be aimed towards making the employee aware that the conduct is not acceptable and of the steps that need to be taken to correct the unacceptable behavior. No permanent record of informal counseling/coaching will be kept.
Formal Verbal Counseling/Alert
In situations that are deemed more serious in nature or where informal counseling has been administered and the misconduct is repeated, formal verbal counseling sessions may take place between an employee and their supervisor (the College Dean in the case of faculty members) to alert the employee of the unacceptable behavior or conduct. Every effort to determine and resolve the cause of the problem should be made. At this step, a written record of the alert does not appear in the employee's personnel file. However, documentation of the verbal counseling and alert must be retained in area/departmental/College files, and a copy of this documentation must be distributed to the employee.
Written Counseling/Formal Written Reprimand
Written counseling sessions take place between a supervisor (the College Dean in the case of faculty members) and an employee when either:
- The misconduct of the employee is a repeated violation and formal verbal counseling/alert has been administered; or
- Where the misconduct hinders or compromises the functions of the department in which the employee works or hampers the functions of the University.
Following the counseling session, documentation of the session and the formal reprimand will be forwarded to the appropriate Cabinet member for review and approval. If approved, the documentation and formal reprimand will be added to the employee's personnel file in the Office of Human Resources. The documentation must specify any restrictions or prohibitions imposed as part of the reprimand, and, if appropriate or applicable, should include a performance improvement plan, a timeline for completion of the plan, and a timeline for the lifting of restrictions. Copies of these documents must also be provided to the employee.
Suspension, or release from duty, is a more severe action that may be used to continue investigations and/or for constructive improvement. Suspensions are issued when it is determined that a second reprimand would not suffice or that an initial incident is too severe for a reprimand yet not sufficiently severe for dismissal. Suspensions may vary in length, according to the severity of the offense or deficiency. Where a suspension has failed to produce the proper results, consideration should be given for a more lengthy suspension or the dismissal of the employee. The final decision on the suspension of an employee is made by the President.
Written documentation and notice of all suspensions will be documented and added to the employee's personnel file in the Office of Human Resources. Copies of these suspension notices must also be provided to the employee.
Suspension notices must contain all of the following:
- The reason(s) for the discipline;
- The inclusive dates of the suspension; and
- The employee's right of appeal through the University's Employee Grievance Procedure.
An employee's employment may be terminated after other disciplinary measures have failed or when a first time incident of misconduct occurs that is extremely serious. An employee may be discharged at any time without regard to any progressive steps if he or she commits an offense that is so serious that, in the University's judgment, the employee's continued presence would be contrary to the well-being of the University or its employees. The University's Office of Human Resources should be consulted beforehand when the dismissal of an employee is being considered. The final decision on the dismissal of an employee is made by the President, and is subject to appeal through the University's Employee Grievance Procedure and through applicable state regulations and procedures.
III. Responsibility for this Operating Policy
Policy Owner
As part of the initial approval of this policy by the President and subsequent to the original dissemination of the policy, the President remains the policy owner for the ongoing evaluation, review, and approval of this policy. Subsequent reviews and revisions to this policy must be in accordance with approved operating policy procedures and processes.
This policy will be reviewed every three years or more frequently as needed.
Responsibility for Policy Implementation
The President has assigned the responsibility of implementing this policy to the Director of Human Resources, under the direction of the Vice President for Financial Affairs. In accordance with Act 2012-497, all full-time employees, whether tenured, non-tenured, non-probationary, or probationary, who were employed by the University on October 1, 2012, shall retain any and all rights and privileges as provided in Chapter 24C of Title 16, Code of Alabama 1975 (the "Students First Act of 2011"). All employees hired after October 1, 2012, will follow the new personnel policies and procedures adopted by the University unless specifically excluded. Effective dates for the
new personnel policies and procedures will be retroactive to October 1, 2012, unless alternate effective dates are specifically identified.

text: Dislocation is a serious potential complication of total hip replacement. Previous studies have proposed a newly developed total hip structure that meets the required oscillation angle of 120°, for which the chamfer on the acetabular liner rim was designed to enable the neck to impinge on the chamfer over a large area after impingement occurs. This study adopted the finite element method to further analyse the torque limits leading to dislocation and the contact stresses at the impingement and egress sites of the liner during subluxation. The compressive stress–strain curve for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is nonlinear. The results reveal that an adequate chamfer angle of the acetabular cup liner can significantly increase dislocation torque and decrease contact stress on the liner rim. By means of the new design, when the head–neck ratio (HNR) is 2.5 or 3.0, the maximum torque value that a 36-mm head can withstand is 1.38 (8.7 Nm/6.3 Nm) or 1.47 (8.4 Nm/5.7 Nm) times that of a 22-mm head, while the maximum stress of a 36-mm head is 0.41 (14.58 MPa/35.73 MPa) or 0.70 (33.71 MPa/47.90 MPa) times that of a 22-mm head. When the head diameters are identical, the dislocation torque of the HNR = 2.5 structure is slightly greater than that of the HNR = 3.0 structure (3.3–10.5%); thus, the newly developed structure can disperse contact stress, and the structure of a large head with a low HNR exhibits a higher dislocation torque value and lower stress.

Back in July I got an excited phone call from Ally: "Hello! I think you need to come over the Archive, we've received a really interesting donation!".
I arrived in the archive to find Ally, and our then Oral History intern Sarah, heads bowed over the table examining the mystery item, which turned out to be a lock and key. Doesn't sound particularly exciting, but this lock is very special in design and we believed it to be part of one of the original doors that existed in the Mill before it was turned into offices or units for various companies in the mid-20th century. At that time there were roughly twenty different local companies working out of the Mill, including Robert Greg & Co., Styal Engineering, WHK Products and Bollin Engineering, who rented Unit 16 from 1956-1965 for £100pa- today it is the location of the Greg Room and the Exhibition Gallery.
Hugh Breland worked for Bollin Engineering, who according to Hugh's son worked in "precision machining with lathes and milling machines etc., probably only 2 or 3 people I'm guessing in the early days at the Mill." In 1965 after an unsuccessful attempt to renegotiate the lease, Bollin Engineering moved to Macclesfield. However it seems Hugh took a keepsake of his time at Quarry Bank; the lock and key. Hugh's son has kindly donated the lock to us, and we have added it to our collection. Ally and I assumed that the lock belonged to one of the original doors in the Mill, but couldn't work out which one.
Ally made some enquiries in other museums about the lock, and we were lucky enough to receive a reply from The Locksmith's House, part of the Black Country Living Museum. They informed us it was a 'stock lock', and as the key has a 'wire bow' (the 'handle' of the key as it were), it is likely that the lock was made in the Georgian era, which means it was created for the Mill in the first 50 years of its existence.
The 'bit' of the key – the part which locks/unlocks the mechanism – has been made in the continental style of the time – the 'S' shape, which was used to prevent the wrong key entering the lock. The shank of the key has a hole at the end and slots onto a pin on the lock and acts as a bearing for the key to turn on.
The mystery of which door the lock belonged to has been solved – it wasn't part of a door at all, as the expert from Locksmith's House pointed out that the lock only operates from one side, and therefore would have been used for something like a cupboard. Sadly we don't know what happened to the cupboard or if it had belonged to the Gregs when the Mill was still owned and run by them.
Hugh also took several photos of Quarry Bank during his nine year stint, including those below of his friend Roger Lowe's car workshop that operated out of the Inner Mill Yard, where the toilets are located today!

Paris, France, 18 April 2007: The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected Thales Alenia Space Italy to be the prime contractor for a C-band radar Earth observation satellite called Sentinel-1 to be launched in 2011 under a manufacturing contract valued at 229 million euros ($309 million), according to European government and industry officials.
Thales Alenia Space Italy bested a competing bid from Astrium Satellites' German division for the contract, which will be the first spacecraft built for Europe's Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) program. GMES is co-funded by ESA and the European Commission.
Sentinel-1 is expected to weigh around 2,200 kilograms at launch and to carry a C-band synthetic-aperture radar to image the Earth in swaths of 240 kilometers in diameter with a ground resolution of between 5 and 8 meters.
Sentinel-1 originally was to be launched in 2010, in time to assure data continuity for users who until then will count on the continued health of the large Envisat radar satellite. ESA officials have said Envisat, launched in March 2002, should be able to remain healthy until 2010.

CLERMONT, Fla. – The Lake Erie College softball team split their double header against Cedarville, and Felician today (March 5th). The Storm is now 4-4 overall on the season.
Cedarville took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, before the Storm answered back with a run of their own in the bottom of the first when Allyson Hajnosz (Lordstown, Ohio / Lordstown) singled and scored Savannah Karako (Fairport Harbor, Ohio / Lake Catholic). Cedarville scored one in the top of the third to take a 2-1 lead. Cedarville added two more in the fifth inning on a two run homerun. The Storm fell 4-1 to Cedarville.
The Storm jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first when Hajnosz singled home S. Karako. Lake Erie added two more when Hannah Shevenell hit a two run home run to drive in Jessacca Gironda (Kent State). Felician scratched across a run in the second and the fourth to make the score, 3-2 in favor of the Storm. Felician took the lead in the fourth, 4-3. The Storm battled back in the fifth to take the lead. Gironda tripled and later scored off of a Lindsey Valvoda (Mentor, Ohio / Mentor) double. Valvoda crossed the plate off of a Hajnosz single to give the Storm a 5-4 advantage. Felician took the lead in the fifth with a two run homerun. The Storm scored seven in the seventh when Gironda hit a sacrifice fly to left to score Marissa Rizzo (Northfield Center, Ohio / Nordonia). Kate-Lynn Urgo (Vermillion, Ohio / Vermillion) pinch hit in and drove in both Hajnosz, and Amber Dowen (New Lyne, Ohio / Pymatuning Valley). Kaylie Lewis (Sebring, Ohio / West Branch) doubled and drove in Shevenell and Urgo came around to score. S. Karako singled and plated Lewis, and Darrian Yanek (Youngstown, Ohio / South Range), to make the score 12-6. The storm gave up a run in the bottom of the seventh but won, 12-7.
Dawn Ondercin (Sheffield, Ohio / Brookside) got the win in game two, and is now 3-2 on the season. Ondercin had eight strike outs, only two walks, and five earned runs combined in both games.
Lake Erie will wrap up their games in Florida tomorrow when they take on West Liberty and Millersville at 9 and 11 A.M. respectively.

About Blue Tie
Who are we?
Blue Tie Ride was founded in 2011 by Raumar Bustamente and Dolly Betancourt who both share a passion for raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer and childhood sexual abuse.To date, Blue Tie Ride has raised $90,000 for Prostate Cancer Canada through various events but most importantly, our Blue Tie Ride Motorcycle Rally, which is held every August.
Net proceeds go to both Prostate Cancer Canada and The Gatehouse Child Abuse Investigation & Support Site.
Prostate Cancer Canada is the leading national charity addressing prostate cancer needs across the country. The good news is that since Prostate Cancer Canada was created in 1994, the death rate from prostate cancer has dropped by half. If detected early, survival is now close to 100 per cent. Our efforts have saved and improved lives. In our first 25 years, we invested $120 million in research that gives hope to those affected. We enhanced the work of support groups across the country, offered easy-to-understand information to Canadians affected by the disease and increased public awareness. But much more needs to be done.
The Gatehouse is a unique charity that provides supports, resources and advocacy on behalf of those impacted by childhood sexual abuse. Over the past 18 years, The Gatehouse has helped thousands including children, youth and adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse.
By joining in, sponsoring the event or donating to Blue Tie Ride, you will not only be backing the brightest minds in prostate cancer research, but you will be investing in greater hope for the 1 in 8 men and their families living with the disease. You will also be helping the 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys that have experienced childhood sexual abuse.
Our Stats
Interested in joining us and becoming a sponsor? Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In 1994 Ron Evason founded the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Canada. Diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1993, he realized that there was little, if any, high caliber research being done for the disease. The Foundation's mission was to support research into the cause, cure, and prevention of prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer Canada strives to save lives by improving prevention, detection and treatment of prostate cancer, and to enhance the quality of life of for all Canadians affected by the disease through collaboration, driving world-class research and translating knowledge into better outcomes.
We will save and improve more lives by working with partners to:
Fund more research to generate new knowledge
Increase the speed at which new evidence is incorporated into government policies and health care practices
Encourage more conversations by sharing the best information and include younger Canadians, women, families and those at higher risk
Innovate in the way we engage staff and volunteers, manage our financial resources and increase donations
The Gatehouse
The Gatehouse is a unique charity that provides support, resources, and advocacy on behalf of those impacted by childhood sexual abuse.
