The Butler County Educational Service Center (BCESC), in partnership with Spirit of Construction Foundation, present Let's Do This, this year's Construction Camp for children ages 11 - 14 this summer. The camp is at Butler Tech D. Russel Lee Campus, August 7-11 from 9 AM - 3 PM.
"During the Let's Do This construction camp, students with get a hands-on experience to introduce concepts of construction in a fun and interactive way. Students will construct wheelchair accessible picnic tables that will then be donated to the Hamilton Parks Conservancy," said Dave Baker, BCESC consultant and a former Industrial Arts Instructor.
Each camper receives a tool case filled with a set of tools to use during the camp and then is theirs to take home when the camp ends. With instruction and guidance from Baker, and with the support from BCESC staff, campers are instructed in tool identification, use, and safety. The campers work in teams to construct items from start to finish learning first-hand construction skills and teamwork.
Funds from a grant BCESC received from the Spirit of Construction Foundation (SOC) allows them to provide this program. The SOC Foundation grant is awarded to support efforts to engage students of a specific age group, encouraging them to stay in school, succeed in math, science, and language classes, and consider all options available with a career in construction.
BCESC Curriculum Director, Georgine Bowman said,
"We are thrilled the Spirit of Construction Foundation once again helped fund the Let's Do This Construction Camp with their generous $5,400 grant.. Their efforts provide so much for the students, exposing them to the construction industry and providing them a great opportunity to give back to families in our community. This camp would not be possible without the funds from the SOC Foundation."

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is once again a Wall Street outlier, but this time in a good way.
The bank, which suffered a trading slump last year that was steeper than its rivals, said Tuesday that first-quarter trading revenue surged 31 percent, the biggest increase on Wall Street so far. It also reported the largest jump in fixed-income trading, after rivals Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. posted surprise declines.
Results from the first three months of this year are helping erase bad memories from 2017, which included the worst annual commodities performance in Goldman Sachs's 19-year history as a public company. The first-quarter trading gains contributed to the highest revenue in three years and profit that surpassed analysts' expectations.
The trading struggles in 2017 raised questions about the bank's strategy and led to admissions that the firm hadn't focused enough on corporate clients. Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein has maintained that many of the issues in the firm's biggest business are cyclical and would improve with more active markets. Goldman Sachs benefited from a return of volatility to equity markets in the first quarter.
The succession race to replace Blankfein became clearer last month, when David Solomon was named sole president of the bank and Harvey Schwartz, president and co-chief operating officer, said he was stepping down. While Schwartz rose up through the trading ranks, Solomon built his reputation in the investment-banking operation.Goldman Sachs, which gained 1.2 percent this year through Monday, advanced 0.4 percent in early New York trading at 7:47 a.m. The KBW Bank Index has declined 0.2 percent this year.
Here are more highlights from the first-quarter results:

The story is never over. https://t.co/dG6VzWMOtipic.twitter.com/bHN6kExwDA— Iron Fist (@MarvelIronFist) October 13, 2018
The disheartening news arrives just a week before "Daredevil" returns for its third season. It allows fans to breathe a sigh of relieve as it seems that Netflix and Marvel's partnership is still going strong.
Prior to this, Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb sound pretty much optimistic when asked about the potential of a season 3 for "Marvel's Iron Fist". "Speak to our friends at Netflix. Unlike the movie studio, which can announce a Captain Marvel movie will be out in 2019, the television studio will always be beholden to our networks, and so if our networks want another season of 'Iron Fist', we're ready to go," he said at that time. "We're just waiting for the answer. The show's been out of a week."

NAMUR - HONG KONG 8,573,260 metres in GNSS RTK21/11/2017
With the decision of the government of Hong Kong and its Lands Department, Geodetic Service, to provide free access to the flow of data from reference GNSS stations (Open Data policy), it has been easy for us to connect our permanent GNSS station in Mont and thus obtain, in real-time, the exact distance between us and Hong Kong.
Out of the 27 satellites on average which we follow, only between 7 and 9 are followed by our station in Mont and one of the GNSS stations located in Hong Kong. But this is enough to establish a 3D positioning solution. To carry out this type of calculation, we use, in particular, the RTK-LIB library also available in Open Source.
We sincerely hope that the Walloon Government and the SPW will also decide to provide professionals with data from permanent stations in the GNSS WALCORS network. Currently, only corrections from modelling (ionosphere, troposphere, orbit errors, etc.) are available free of charge.
This type of decision would allow more Walloon companies to develop and offer new apps which require high precision. The geolocation market to the nearest "cm" is growing rapidly with a view to the development of apps for precision agriculture, the guiding of construction machinery, topography and the positioning of drones and robots of all sorts, etc.
The Director of the Hong Kong Lands Department came to visit and meet WALCORS' managers in 2003 in order to draw inspiration from our developments. Let us now hope that the managers of WALCORS (SPW) will draw inspiration from the decision taken by the Hong Kong government.
CGEOS is the leading Walloon company specialising in the development and distribution of high-precision GNSS solutions as well as in geodesic engineering services.

There's an easy cure for a slow computer: more memory. Designed to help your system run faster and smoother, Crucial Laptop Memory is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to improve your system's performance. Load programs faster. Increase responsiveness. Run data-intensive applications with ease, and increase your laptop's multitasking capabilities. Features Make Everything on Your Computer Faster
Memory is a component in your computer that allows for short-term data access. Since your system's moment-to-moment operations rely on short-term data access – loading applications, browsing the Web or editing a spreadsheet – the speed and amount of memory in your system plays a critical role. Load apps in seconds by increasing the speed of your memory and installing more of it.
Multitask with Ease
If you're like us, you use your computer to do lots of things at once. You might be editing a document, while also looking at pictures and browsing the Internet. This naturally leads to a performance problem: every app you're running requires memory and competes for a limited pool of resources. Overcome this by installing high-density modules in each memory slot for seamless multitasking.
Extend Battery Life
One of the most important aspects of laptop performance is battery life. By upgrading your memory, you can potentially take advantage of lower voltage modules – and increase energy efficiency by up to 40% when using the latest memory technology. What's more, by simply installing more memory, you'll reduce the number of times your system has to access the hard drive (paging). Less paging means tasks are done faster – using less battery power.
Install with Ease – No Computer Skills Required
With just a screwdriver, your owner's manual, and a few minutes of time, you can install memory – no computer skills necessary. Just watch one of Crucial's three-minute install videos, and they'll walk you step-by-step through the process. Don't pay a computer shop to do something you can do in minutes!
Maximize the Value of Your System
At a fraction of the cost of a new system, a memory upgrade is one of the most affordable ways to increase performance. Get more out of your laptop by giving it the resources it needs to perform.
Micron® Quality — A Higher Level of Reliability
As a brand of Micron, one of the largest memory manufacturers in the world, Crucial memory represents the future of workstation and server capability. From the original DDR technology to DDR4, we've engineered the memory technologies that have powered the world's systems for 35 years and counting. Designed for leading platforms, compatible with OEM systems and warranties, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, Crucial memory pushes the limits on performance.

A greeter welcomes people to the grand opening of The Station Church's new facility at the Morgan Road exit off Interstate 459 on Sept. 23.
It has been 12 years since Randy and Susan Norris stepped out in faith and started The Station Church with six other families, but they finally have a church building they can call their own.
The Station Church spent its first seven years at the former Bumpus Middle School (now Brock's Gap Intermediate School) and then relocated to the Southeastern Bible College campus on Valleydale Road.
But in September, the Southern Baptist church moved back across town to the former ITT Technical Institute building, at the Morgan Road exit off Interstate 459. A grand opening service drew 417 people — the first time the church had ever had more than 400 people, Pastor Randy Norris said.
Having their own building is like a dream come true, he said. It gives the church a lot more flexibility and ability to do things during the week that they haven't been able to do before.
Brock's Gap Intermediate School and Southeastern Bible College were great partners, but there were frequent challenges that came with being in someone else's building, Norrissaid. "You just never knew what to expect."
Around 2007 or 2008, The Station Church bought some land along Alabama 150, about half a mile west of the Lake Cyrus entrance, but the economic downturn that followed stalled development plans in that area and made it a less attractive site, Norris said.
Church leaders kept their eyes open for opportunities, but in June 2017, they knew they needed to get serious about finding a site when Southeastern Bible College suspended operations. The church was allowed to continue meeting there but got busy looking for a new home.
ITT Technical Institute, which had filed for bankruptcy in 2016, was selling its 6 acres and 34,000-square-foot building off Morgan Road, and the church was able to buy it for a bargain price of $1 million, Norris said. The deal closed in May.
They sold their land off Alabama 150 and spent about $350,000 to renovate the ITT site, which is more space than the church has ever had, he said.
The facility off Valleydale Road, formerly home to Valleydale Church, was humongous, but The Station Church only used a part of it, Norris said.
At the new building, they have 295 parking spaces, an auditorium that seats 400, a youth room that seats about 150, children's worship space, nursery and preschool space, several other classrooms and areas for future growth, he said. "This space is really going to allow us to grow."
The Station Church has about 375 members and an average attendance of 250 to 275, Norris said. Attendance has increased since leaders announced the new location. Members seem more excited and have been more willing to invite friends and neighbors now that they have a permanent home, he said.
If they keep up their current pace, the church may add a second service, Norris said.
Scott Sanders, a member who said he's been part of the church since nearly the beginning, said everybody is excited about the move.
"We've never had a permanent place of our own," he said. "We've just been waiting 12 years for it."
It's a little unusual for a church to move across a city and then back closer to its original spot, but many of the members are from the western part of Hoover and Helena, Norris said.
Brad and Brigitte Letcher, Helena residents who joined the church in December, said it's the group of believers that draws them more so than the building or location, but they like the new building and the new location saves them about 15 to 20 minutes on their trip to church.
"It works better for us. We just come straight up Morgan Road," Brigitte Letcher said.
Norris said it was important to find a site close to I-459 because the church draws people from across the metro area.
While they love the new facility, they have to remember that it's just a tool to help reach people, Norris said. They can't sit back and rest now that they have a building.
"The ride's just starting. There are a lot of things left to do," Norris told the congregation at the grand opening. "We're excited about the days that are ahead."

Sometimes in enterprise you simply can not avoid writing a letter that has bad information. As a outcome, selecting the best enterprise school has develop into almost like a science because there are a number of things to consider like flexibility and suitability of the course to your wants, entry necessities, tuition, validity of the course and so forth. Regardless of the best way you choose to protect and protect your newspapers or clippings, strive it on unimportant newspaper articles first! Those earrings swing all over while the news anchor is speaking and it detracts from what she is saying.
Salary Increase: When the president of USA, President Obama, was interviewed by the chairman of Cable News Network (CNN) on 30th January 2014, based mostly on unemployment in the USA, the president stated that he'll raise the salary of government employees to $10.10 (ten dollars ten cents) per hour. The next thing that you'll must do is locate the grants that make sense for what you are promoting. Executive Summary: This part is a formal information for anybody who sees your business proposal.
While both areas of endeavor require nice understanding of greatest practices in communicating for enterprise functions, public relations and media relations are different, at the least conceptually. The report indicated that with the suitable coverage stimulus, this industry would possibly nicely reach its potential of Rs.64,500 crore, a 9-fold improve in 12 years.
News of events from different places was gleaned from travelers and official bulletins had been obtained by couriers. News jacking is the method that includes producing and posting releases and ideas into breaking information, in real-time, with a view to generate media consideration in your firm. More needs to be acknowledged on scientific break-throughs, more on inspiration, wonderful feats of kindness and articles that go away one with a warm fuzzy feeling.
The locusts' skill to see many extra pictures per second than humans offers them a remarkable view of the world. Remember, I'm not a law enforcement official, or a lawyer, I simply understand how things work, so if you'd like actual sound recommendation, you then may want to ask a lawyer – I can supply empathy, and a bit bit of expertise in the matter. The Trump campaign would possibly steal the spotlight but business within the US will all the time be full pace ahead.

"A Sign of Hope"
By (the late) Rex A. Begaye
Rex brought the white buffalo into his work as a sign of hope that we would learn to come together as one people and live in peace. He also spoke of it being a "wakeup call" for us to take better care of the Earth so we do not bring destruction upon us such as the legends of the comet impacts.
He explained that it was fortold that the white buffalo will continue to be born until we wake up, if we do not change our ways, by the time the 5th one is born, something major on the planet will take place. Mother Earth holds the 5th buffalo as the ancestors look on praying. The faces in the lightning are the spirits of the land.
This is a giclee archival print with "signature authentification" from First Feather Gallery.Available sizes are 8 1/2x11, 12x16 and 16x20
the original is pencil and acrylic on layered handcut matboard.

Onboard fishing tackle stowage is a great thing on a fishing boat. It allows you to keep all your goodies and gear close at hand, yet you never have to lug a tackle box around. But, there are some down-sides, too. Tackle may be exposed to moisture more than you'd like, and corrosion can turn your hooks dull. Jumping onto other people's boats means you still need to have a bag prepped, which means buying double gear in many cases. And when all your gear is left aboard and a few weeks pass by between trips, it's not always easy to remember exactly what you do or do not have aboard. These five tricks, however, will help make onboard tackle stowage work well.
Use these tricks, and you'll find that onboard fishing tackle stowage isn't merely just convenient—it's also more effective and keeps your tackle and gear in good shape, too.

· This paper summarises proposals to help local residents and businesses by increasing parking capacity for commuters travelling to Farnborough railway station by car, encouraging them to park in the station car parks and controlling commuter parking in residential roads nearby.
· Off-street parking is insufficient for the number of commuters travelling to Farnborough station by car and the absence of restrictions in nearby roads encourages them to park on-street first because it is free.
· The car park at Cove Green pavilion is also congested by commuter parking because it is not restricted and is free. This creates problems for the pre-school group and others who use the pavilion and Cove Green itself.
· Residential roads in the area become congested with commuter parking as early as 7.00 a.m. but it is not until 8.00 a.m. that the station car parks become substantially used.
· Later in the day, when the nearby streets and car parks are full, we often see parking out-of-bay in the car parks and parking on-street where there are restrictions because drivers are unable to find parking space.
· The roads most affected are Station Road, Prospect Road, Orchard Road and the derestricted parts of Union Street, where as many as 100 vehicles park each day (equivalent to 11% of the off-street parking capacity). Other roads near the station - Elm Grove Road, Clockhouse Road and the eastern section of Union Street, are not normally used as they have residents' parking zones or other restrictions.
· Last year the County Council, as the highways authority, approved the introduction of charges for street-side parking in Rushmoor to help regulate and influence on-street parking. Traffic regulation orders are needed for the areas where we propose to introduce charges.
The areas referred to are shown on the attached plan. Larger scale plans will be available at the meeting.
Union Street Car Parks
· By improving the layout of our Union Street West car park, we can increase capacity by ten spaces. This will include reworking the car park entrance to minimise hazardous out-of-bay parking here by commuters who are late.
· The daily charge at the Railtrack car park (which is further from the station than our own) is £2.30. Our charge is £2.20. We therefore propose to adjust our daily charge to £2.30.
· The daily charge at the smaller Union Street East car park is also £2.20. It is used by local businesses but we propose to adjust the charge to £2.30 to deter rail commuters from parking here. These increases, plus the income from the additional spaces, will yield sufficient income this year to fund the above works.
On-Street Charging
· On-street charging on the roads used by commuters will reduce early morning noise and congestion and encourage use of the car parks as a first choice.
· We propose a daily charge of £2.50, Monday – Friday, for parking in the chargeable sections of Station Road, Prospect Road and Orchard Road. This is a 20p premium on the proposed daily parking charge in our car parks. We will need six new ticket machines, but we have three in stock so installation costs are minimised.
· There will be no chargeable parking on the residential side of these roads. Prospect Road is the only road where houses will overlook chargeable parking on the opposite side of the road (but most of the houses have between two and five off-street parking spaces). However, we propose to introduce a 'first two hours free' facility for their weekday visitors and for allotment users (the allotment also has its own off-street parking).
· We propose to remove commuter parking on Union Street by extending residents' parking area F3 by eight spaces and providing one-hour free parking for visitors to the Cemetery. We will also extend the 'at any time' parking restriction on Union Street, at its junction with Prospect Road, to remove hazardous parking on the approach to the traffic lights. We also propose to replace a 3hr waiting limit on Green's School Lane with additional residents' parking for six properties to deter half-day commuter parking.
· The proposals as a whole will remove all commuter parking in front of residential properties and in front of the main entrances to the cemetery and the allotments. The comments and preferences of ward councillors have been taken into account in the above proposals.
Cove Green Pavilion Car Park
· We propose to bring this car park into the Off-Street Parking Order and improve it by providing marked bays, gateway signage and reserved parking for regular users. We propose to introduce a 2-hr parking limit, free of charge, in enough parking spaces to ensure the needs of the Cove pavilion users are met. We propose to introduce a daily charge of £2.30, Monday – Saturday in the surplus spaces, again to encourage commuters to park off-street.
· Residents and commuters will be consulted on the proposals through the statutory processes for establishing new parking orders. This consultation is expected to run for 28 days from the beginning of September and will create awareness of the proposals and provide the opportunity to comment.
The costs of introducing the proposed changes and the effect on the car parks revenue budget are:
Proposal Implementation -------- Additional Income (£) --------
Cost (£) * in 05/06 in 05/06 from 06/07
(net of *)
Union St West 2,500 2,000 -500 4,800

(at max) 22,500 24,350 1,850 67,700
· It is recommended that:
- the capacity of Union Street West car park is increased;
- the daily charge at Union Street East and West car parks is increased by 10p to £2.30 with effect from 1 October;
- a daily parking charge of £2.50 is introduced in the sections of Station Road, Prospect Road and Orchard Road shown on the attached plan. This charge will apply between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Mondays to Fridays (except public holidays). The first two hours of parking will be free of charge in Prospect Road to assist residents' visitor parking. Subject to the outcome of the statutory processes of making the appropriate parking orders, this will take effect from 1 December;
- the Pavilion car park is incorporated into the Off-Street Parking Order with a daily charge of £2.30. This charge will apply between 8.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. Monday to Saturday. The first two hours of parking will be free of charge to assist Pavilion users. Pavilion staff will be exempt from the charges by displaying a permit. Subject to the outcome of the statutory processes of making the appropriate parking order, this will take effect from 1 November;
- the existing F3 permit parking area is extended along the section of Union Street in front of the cemetery, with a 1-hour waiting limit for non-permit-holders to provide for visitors to the cemetery, again subject to the statutory process of extending the parking order;
- an 'at any time' parking restriction is introduced on the derestricted section of Union Street adjacent to the allotments to improve the line of sight approaching the traffic lights and to keep the allotment entrance clear;
- residents of the section of Green's School Lane from Union Street to High View Road are offered a residents' parking scheme as an alternative to the existing 3-hour waiting limit conditional upon unanimous acceptance by the 6 households affected;
- the heads of Street Scene and Legal services advertise the appropriate Orders and if there are no objections to make the Orders and if there are objections for the Cabinet Member for Environment to consider these objections and determine the appropriate course of action;
- approval is provided for a supplementary estimate for £22,500 to cover implementation of these schemes, which is expected to be fully funded from additional income in 05/06.

Penance InterruptedThursday, February 23rd, 2006
OK, I've been feeling like a Schlub. I think I took a minor Karma hit for posting my little poll, below. According to a definition available online, "political incorrectness" means:
the use of expressions or actions that can be perceived to exclude or marginalize or insult groups who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against
And if my poll was perceived (because anyone who knows me knows I wouldn't mean it in this way) to insult socially disadvantaged groups, then, mea culpa. I apologize.
In order to restore my social-ethical standing in the community, I thought about what I could do to redeem myself for my possibly insensitive post.
I decided that it would be a nice gesture to make a small donation to an Ice Skating organization, so that young people of any persuasion can get support in pursuing their love of that unique form of art – the ice dance.
And so I started my search for a proper recipient of my charitable intention. I didn't find many organizations that accepted donations. Several of the sites seemed to be linked to skating trade organizations or skating apparel sales companies.
I finally ended up at that U.S. Figure Skating website. And – Perfect! They not only accept donations, but also provide an online link permitting donations to the "Memorial Fund" intended to
provide qualified U.S. Figure Skating skaters in need of financial aid with monetary assistance to pursue their goals both inside and outside the competitive arena. The fund is committed to awarding skating and academic scholarships to those athletes who have demonstrated excellent competitive results and/or academic achievements and who have future potential in national and international competitions. . . . [and to] help fulfill the dreams of young figure skaters across the country.
Just what I had in mind to support! And just the perfect way to assuage any half-hearted and/or repressed guilt I may have had about possibly disparaging any particular former, current, or future Olympic skaters. So I filled out the donation form. I even entered my credit card information. And, feeling proud of myself, I clicked the submit button.
And for my efforts, I received the following message, in red text:
The minimum donation amount is $50!
Hmmm. . .
Well, I'm not that worried about my Karma. . .
So, uh, I'll just get back to my regularly scheduled activities, then. Okey dokey.
I mean, I could have pursued the idea of the penance thing by sighing up for a $25 membership to the International Gay Figure Skating Union , but I have baby doctor bills to pay, yo! And what good would my little $25 do there, anyway. Sir Elton John is already supporting many of the athletes likely to participate in this group. And I understand that gentleman to be a generous spender. (A 1999 report cited his average $400,000 per month credit card bill).
So instead, I'll keep my little money, and just enjoy this free (and fabulous) poster for the "Fabulous Cup 2005," and hopefully, we can all leave it at that.

Right To Die In Oregon
The AP reports the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that;
U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft overstepped his authority when he ordered Oregon doctors to ignore a state law that allowed them to prescribe lethal doses of medication to terminally ill patients who wished to die.
Ok, I'll admit that I have a hard time with this issue. I think that it has huge potential for abuse as well has honest mistakes. We have to decide, as a society, whether or not someone who wants to die is, by definition, crazy. While there are a lot of issues, some of them are addressed by the fact that, under the Oregon law:
…terminally ill patients must get certification from two doctors stating they are of sound mind and have less than six months to live. A prescription for lethal drugs is written by the doctor and administered by the patients themselves.
This removes some of the potential for abuse and relieves doctors of being in the position of 'Causing Harm'. However, there is something I think everyone should recognize about how this court's decision was made. This is the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and they are famous for their nutjob rulings. Please note:
"The attorney general's unilateral attempt to regulate general medical practices historically entrusted to state lawmakers interferes with the democratic debate about physician-assisted suicide and far exceeds the scope of his authority under federal law," the court said in a 2-1 opinion. (emphasis added)
This is yet another 2-1 ruling by the 9th Circus Court. It seems to this non-law-professional-observer that the 9th Circuit makes it a habit to hand down a 3-judge ruling (often a split one, at that) only to be promptly overruled either by the next court or by a larger subset of the Court.
The unfortunate thing here, in my view, is that they might actually be right. It might just be that American's think the terminally ill should have a right to die, and that they should be allowed to get at least passive assistance from a physician. However, I just wish that these fine judges would take the time to get a few more of their colleagues together before handing down these controversial rulings. In the end, it would save us all a bunch of time, money and headaches.

New event on the Staysure Tour
The Farmfoods European Legends Links Championship at Trevose
Words: GolfPunk
2019 will see The Staysure Tour welcome a new, exciting event to its tour schedule; the Farmfoods European Legends Links Championship boasting a total prize fund of €200,000. Arriving at the stunning Trevose Golf and Country Club, the four-day event will see some of the greatest ever golfers take to the picturesque course from June 20-23 2019.
The venue is just five miles west of Padstow, Cornwall's iconic gourmet capital, and will present players with a challenging test of golf. Surrounded by seven beaches within a mile and offering visitors first class resort facilities Trevose offers a unique stage for this new event on the Staysure Tour.
Trevose has hosted a number of prestigious amateur events (Brabazon and McGregor trophies) and is recognised as one of England golf's official championship venues. Whilst the club often plays host to many of the current and past touring professionals, this will mark the first time the south west has staged an event on the Staysure Tour.
Trevose Managing Director Nick Gammon, is excited at the prospect of staging this event. He said: "Everyone here at Trevose Golf and Country Club is looking forward to hosting our first Staysure Tour event next year. We believe we have one of the finest links golf courses in the country in one of the UK's most idyllic locations. It will be a fantastic occasion for us, and Cornwall as a whole, to welcome so many legends of the game for a wonderful festival of golf."
Some of the iconic golfers who could feature at the event include 1991 Masters champion Ian Woosnam OBE, 1999 Open winner Paul Lawrie OBE, Ryder Cup legend Paul McGinley, one of Italy's greatest ever golfers and their first ever Ryder Cup player, Costantino Rocca, and European Tour winner and Ryder Cup player Peter Baker.
The event will get underway with a Pro-Am team event on June 20, where teams of four (one professional paired with three amateurs) will compete in a bid for team success. Day two will see the Alliance format of the week commence. Each Staysure Tour player will link up with one amateur over the course of two days, giving them the professional experience as they play their round alongside a Staysure Tour professional. The final day's play will see the amateurs step aside as the professional players go head-to-head on the course in a bid to win the Championship title and a first prize of €50,000.
The event will take place on the historic Championship Course which was designed by iconic golf course architect, Harry Colt (1925), and which has recently undergone an impressive revamp by world renowned course architects Mackenzie & Ebert. In keeping with most Colt designs the course is set out in two loops of 9 holes. The front 9 holes hug the sand dunes and coastline, offering some spectacular views out to sea. The back 9 holes offer a different, but no less demanding, test of golf as you head inland and then back towards the clubhouse. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Atlantic Ocean, the course presents golfers with an experience like no other.
The Farmfoods European Legends Links Championship will be organised by leading event organisers, Champions (UK) plc. With a proven track record at delivering first class golf events including Staysure Tour event, the Farmfoods European Senior Masters, and the Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship. They are delighted to add another credible and prestigious event to their golf event portfolio.
Managing Director at Champions, Matthew Hayes, explained why he is proud to work on this brand-new event. He said: "We are delighted to add the Farmfoods European Legends Links Championship to the list of events we organise. Trevose is a unique and wonderful location, and with the golf playing out against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, the Championship promises to be extra special. Champions is a family business and we are thrilled to be working with the Gammon family here at Trevose. This event will allow amateurs the unique chance to play alongside some of the greats of the sport while allowing brands the perfect opportunity to engage in sponsorship opportunities in this unique and beautiful setting. I would also like to stress the importance of our headline sponsors Farmfoods, Eric Herd continues to support golf across all levels and without his support events like this would never happen."
David MacLaren, head of the Staysure Tour, said: "We are always looking to add exciting new events to our ever-expanding Tour and are delighted to welcome Trevose to the Staysure Tour schedule with the Farmfoods European Legends Links Championship. Following on from the success of the Farmfoods European Senior Masters, we are delighted to be working with Farmfoods and Champions once again for what is sure to be a wonderful occasion."

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. Henry van Dyke
Following directly on from my last post, this is an amazing yet simply illustrated children's picture book about enjoying creativity wherever it takes you. Even children can judge themselves too harshly and not pursue a creative endeavour because they feel they are not 'good enough' at whatever it is they enjoy doing. Be it drawing, or instrument playing, or writing, or sewing, or dancing, or inventing, or whatever… Give yourself and your children and grandchildren the gift of abandoning perfection and enjoying the abandon of creative expression. Dare to live life as recommended in this picture book, "ishly ever after."
Ramon loves drawing, anytime, anything, anywhere. But after a careless remark, all that changes. Ramon's sister Marisol comes to the rescue, 'framing' things for him in a way that opens his perspective to what is way more valuable than 'getting it right.'
Ish completes a trilogy by Reynolds called Creatrilogy, with two books of similar theme The Dot and Sky Color. Ish is my favourite of the three.

Healthy Ride is creating a series of rider profiles to feature some of our riders and showcase how they use the system. If you would like to be featured, please fill out our survey.
Born in the suburbs, left for school, moved back to the city 5 years ago.
I spent a lot of time at my grandparents' house in Edgeworth where I'd bike all over the neighborhood and to the playground. I also remember biking with my dad, walking my bike up the hill in Emsworth before riding to Bellevue and back. Despite my preference for the city now, I appreciate the relatively calm roads of the suburbs I grew up in.
I've used the bike share for a year now. I had been using it to commute from my old apartment, now I use it to make short trips around town and to connect with public transportation (love the free 15 minutes with a Connect card!).
I learned to ride when I was 5 or 6 and have been on and off ever since. Just within the last year, when I first started using Healthy Ride, have I really picked up biking as an adult.
My old commute was through Panther Hollow and into town on the Eliza Furnace trail. It was a nice and quiet ride and so convenient.
It's a quick and easy way to get around town without worrying about locking up my own bike. I also appreciate the ability to grab a bike and go when I've missed a bus or don't feel like walking.
Healthy Ride is so easy to use and really makes life easier. Just today when I left the YMCA for work and another bus wasn't coming for 20 minutes, I grabbed a bike and coasted into downtown. I'd also like to give credit to Bike Pittsburgh for getting me on the city streets with their Confident City Cycling class!

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has offered to work with counties in order for them to meet their revenue targets.
Speaking in Nairobi during the ongoing Annual Tax Summit, KRA Commissioner for Domestic Taxes Benson Korongo said the national tax agency has signed memoranda of understanding with a number of counties to collaborate on revenue mobilization.
Commissioner Korongo said the areas of collaboration include capacity building, optimization of revenue streams as well as smart enforcement support. "Already, we have developed a training curriculum for county revenue staff, through the Kenya School of Revenue Administration," he said.
Mr. Korongo urged counties to leverage on technology by integrating their revenue collection systems with those of other national government agencies. "This will facilitate counter-checking taxpayer profiles against information held in other databases," he said.
KRA will further offer counties expertise in forecasting and determining alternative revenue streams. The nature of capacity building to be offered will be in both staff numbers and skills.
Under the theme of "Rethink, Remodel and Rebuild", the third Annual Tax Summit seeks to stimulate discussions that focus on profound and radical change that will steer tax administration in a new direction.
In his address at the summit, KRA Commissioner General John Njiraini said that leveraging on collaboration and technology to enhance revenue performance is "no longer a choice but a necessity". He added that on top of linking the customs and domestic taxes systems, tax payment systems will also be linked to the government IFMIS platform.
Linking tax systems to IFMIS will ease issuance of tax compliance certificates and in turn facilitate businessmen to seamlessly apply for tenders at both national and county levels.
In a speech read on his behalf, National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich acknowledged the need for broadening the tax base and making revenue administration more efficient. "We need to ensure that revenue systems are interconnected in order to make use of the information in the systems. I believe this will go a long way in eliminating tax evasion and bringing each and every eligible taxpayer to the tax net," he said.
The three-day annual tax summit ends on 1st December, 2017 at the University of Nairobi"s Chandaria Auditorium. Other topics lined up for discussion include: revenue opportunities in the digital economy, combating illicit trade in excisable products and netting the informal and MSME sectors.

The City has officially adopted as one of its four Vision goals to be the "best place in Canada to engage citizens".
If not all citizens are equally engaged, the proper response is to work harder at engaging the under-engaged, not to claim that those citizens who are actually doing what the City wants them to do are "hijacking" the process! Ensuring that the (by definition unknown) views of the "silent majority" deserve more attention (because they are a majority) runs completely counter to the City's goals and basic democracy.
Don't forget that in the case Whitehead is referring to the City is actually requesting citizen engagement and opinions ... it is not a question of "squeaky wheels" complaining, it is a matter of citizen's volunteering their time and effort to help out the City!
If voter turnout is below 50% (as it has been in most municipal elections) we don't claim that those who did vote were "hijacking" the election. We don't modify the election results after the fact to take into account what we guess those who didn't vote might have wanted. We try to increase voter turnout!
The problem of disengaged residents is not fixed by devaluing the views of those who are engaged, and by implying they have nothing better to do with their time!

Tom Daschle is "deeply embarrassed and disappointed" that he botched his taxes, and today he'll make his way to Capitol Hill to tell a panel of senators just how sorry he is. Having just confirmed another repentant tax botcher to run the IRS, the Senate will now weigh Daschle's sin.
It's not hard to imagine how Daschle might have messed up. Surveying the amazing array of consulting, speechmaking, fundraising and advising business Dachle got since losing re-election in 2004, work that won him more than $5.2 million, you can see how $134,000 in taxes might slip through the cracks.
Just try to keep it all straight: He got $2 million from InterMedia Partners for chairing the private equity firm's advisory board, $2 million more from Alston & Bird, a white-shoe law firm with a booming lobbying practice (though Daschle was technically not a lobbyist), $220,000 in speaking fees from various health-care industry groups, spots on the boards of directors for a couple of ethanol companies, and a healthy helping of stock options from a variety of sources.
Yes, Daschle was a busy man. And the chaos seems to have gotten the better of him.
Almost all of the back taxes stem from Daschle's work for InterMedia, run by longtime Democratic donor Leo J. Hindery Jr. Somewhere in the flurry of millions, InterMedia failed to report one of Daschle's monthly payments – $83,000 – to the IRS. Daschle's spokeswoman says that was a mere clerical error.
And then there's the car and driver. Hindery provided Daschle with the use of his chauffeured limousine, which Daschle's spokeswoman says he "naively" believed was "nothing more than a generous offer from a friend." (Daschle used it to raise money for the firm, she said.) But Daschle's naïveté seems short lived, because last June, according to the spokeswoman, he mentioned the generosity to his accountant.
It's unclear what happened over the following six months, but finally in January, after Daschle's nomination to be secretary of Health and Human Services, but shortly before he submitted his financial disclosure to the Senate, he paid up. He's subsequently agreed to pay $6,000 more to cover Medicare taxes on the driver.
The final bit of back taxes stems from $15,000 in charitable contributions to an Indian reservation that lacks the IRS's required paperwork. Put that all together with interest, and the toll is around $146,000.
But as much as Daschle will have to answer for his tax problems, equal attention should be given to his consulting and speechmaking. At Alston & Bird, Daschle advised a range of clients on government relations, activity that doesn't appear to reach the legal definition of lobbying – directly contacting lawmakers or staff on behalf of that client.
As the New York Timesputs it, "Mr. Daschle has operated in the gap between the popular understanding and legal definition of a lobbyist." Among those clients is a major health-care conglomerate, UnitedHealth. Add to that the list of twelve health-care interest groups (among them, America's Health Insurance Plans, $40,000 for two speeches, CSL Behring, $30,000, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, $16,000, and the Principal Life Insurance Co., $15,000), and you have a nominee weighed down by just the sort of potential conflicts of interest that President Obama bemoaned on the campaign trail.
But as we pointed out last week, Obama seems to have decided that his campaign rhetoric on special interests and lobbying set too high a bar.

I have set myself the challenge this spring to make another quilt. I've only made one before and that was this simple strip quilt.
I spotted this lovely looking tutorial which is a step up in terms of size and skill. I'm using the same fabric, which is called seaside. So my challenge is to get it made before the summer. I have all my fat quarters washed, ironed and ready to go!

I was tested positive for Syphilis. Titer 1:1 w/negative FTA-ABS. The Physician referred me to the Health Department for a second test and treatment.
Could this mean its most likely a false positive?
I am very concerned and would appreciate your reply/comments about it.
You don't provide any clinical context for why this test was obtained. A positive RPR test alone, without a positive confirmatory test, may not indicate infection. I suggest you discuss this further with your doctor.

China's Latest Export: Anti-Establishment Music
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
From accordions to indie rock now. China, the world's top exporter of laptop computers, T-shirts, and toys is now trying to export that very music.
The country's largest independent record label has just released its first album in the U.S. by an indie band called Rebuilding the Rights of Statues. The band toured the U.S. before the album's release, and it performed at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, plus several shows in New York.
From member station WNYC, Lisa Chow reports.
(Soundbite of music)
LISA CHOW: The art of making anti-establishment music in a non-democratic state can come in the translation.
(Soundbite of song "Hang the Police")
Unidentified Man: (Unintelligible)
Unidentified Woman: Hang the police. Hang the police.
CHOW: The three members of Rebuilding the Rights of Statues or Re-TROS for short, compose in English. This song is called "Hang the Police." The band is required to translate all of its lyrics into Chinese and submit them to the government for approval.
Meng Jin Hui is manager at Modern Sky, China's largest independent record label.
MENG JIN HUI (Manager, Modern Sky): Maybe sometimes, you know, when we translate, it might be wrong.
CHOW: For example, the band translated "Hang the Police" as "The Police are Laughing." Often they'll translate literally, and as is the case with any language, the literal translations sometimes don't make sense. And that can work to the band's advantage.
Still, lead singer and guitarist Hua Dong insists he's not intimidated by the government's censors.
Mr. HUA DONG (Lead Singer and Guitarist, Rebuilding the Rights of Statues): (Through translator) It's like a game of cat and mouse to see who can win.
CHOW: He believes dealing with the government forces his band to be subtler in its lyrics.
Mr. HUA: (Through translator) It's just different from the West, where people are very direct with what they say. They just say what they want. But in China, how we say things is not very direct. I think this adds depth to what we're doing, and it's fun.
(Soundbite of music)
CHOW: Hua's pragmatic view is typical of many rock musicians in China who grew up in the '80s and '90s during the country's economic boom.
(Soundbite of music)
Unidentified Man: (Singing) (Unintelligible). By the way.
Mr. SHEN LIHUI (Founder, Modern Sky): (Through translator) Actually, the Chinese government is not really that bad.
CHOW: Shen Lihui founded the Modern Sky label 10 years ago when his own band wanted to record an album.
Mr. SHEN: (Through translator) Within the last 10 years, it has changed quite a bit. Of course, the situation is still not ideal, but the government is more open and liberal than before.
CHOW: China's first generation of rock bands emerged a few years before the bloody 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Those groups focused more on politics. Today's bands, Shen says, are more interested in art.
But the art still needs some work, says Trey McArver. He traveled to China four years ago and discovered an indie rock scene in Wuhan, a grimy industrial city of more than eight million people where he now owns a club with a Chinese partner.
McArver says his first encounter with the music captured the excitement of his first shows in the U.S.
Mr. TREY McARVER (Club Owner, China): It was in this abandoned building on the fifth floor. It was dirty and there were all these kids there, you know, like, with like Mohawks and tight, black jeans, and just something that I had not seen in China at all.
CHOW: Then the music started.
Mr. McARVER: They couldn't even play their instruments. They would play for like 30 seconds or a minute, and then they would just like have to stop and then they would start over or try to go to the next song. And in way, it was like super punk rock but it was also just kind of like, oh, so this is what it's like.
CHOW: Many bands, McArver says, are simply copying things they've heard from Western acts. Re-TROS' musicians say they're influenced by groups like Interpol, Gang of Four and Joy Division.
(Soundbite of music)
CHOW: McArver says while Re-TROS' songs aren't completely original, the band still has something to say.
Mr. McARVER: It's a little bit more thoughtful and it's very sincere.
(Soundbite of music)
Mr. McARVER: They're not making music to be cool.
(Soundbite of music)
Unidentified Man: (Singing) (Unintelligible).
CHOW: A steady performance schedule earns Re-TROS the equivalent of $300 a month, barely enough for the three to live on in Beijing. But right now they say their main goal is to make music.
Liu Min is Re-TROS's bass player. She says one benefit to releasing an album in the U.S. is to show Americans a side of China they might not have heard before.
Ms. LIU MIN (Bass Player, Rebuilding the Rights of Statues): (Through translator) We don't expect it will be a big seller. But of course we are excited to come to the U.S., the most developed rock and roll market in the world. And if Americans hear us, they might see the progress that rock and roll music in China has made.
CHOW: They might also hear a little room for development.
For NPR News, I'm Lisa Chow.

Home Foundation Inspections in Wisconsin
Milwaukee Based Basement Inspectors
Foundations are the most important part of any home. The foundation is responsible for the lasting sturdiness of the house. If you're selling or buying a home, any problems with foundation masonry, cement blocks, or concrete will be costly to remediate. Even superficial foundational damage from flooding will reduce the value of your home.
Wall to Wall provides first time buyers and home sellers across Southeast Wisconsin with the comprehensive home foundation inspections they need for safety and accurate home valuation. Our foundation inspections will let you know if and where problems are so you can fix them before they get worse.
Frequent Foundation Problems in Wisconsin Houses
Home foundations are designed to support the entire weight of a house. Little problems can add up over time, endangering your home and lowering its market value. Common foundation damage we look for includes:
- Concrete cracks
- Water damage
- Flaking, dusting, or crumbling concrete
- Buckling walls or floors
Wisconsin soil is known for freezing and thawing every winter. Foundations can shift during this process, resulting in damage. Our inspectors are all locally experienced with spotting the signs of these common foundation problems.
Checking Flooring Support Beams and Posts
The structural integrity of your home rests primarily on the foundation, flooring, and various support beams or posts. As the foundation settles, the floors may shift too. This can add extra pressure on support beams and posts which are hard to detect with the untrained eye. Scuffed up hardwood or frayed carpeting isn't necessarily a danger sign for your floors, but superficial issues may indicate deeper problems. Flooring can be damaged by:
- Stress
- Moisture
- Low quality construction materials
- Age
- Exposure to chemicals (road salt, deicers, cleaners)
Contact Wall to Wall to schedule an inspection of your floors and support beams.
Unfinished and Finished Basement Inspections
Out of sight should not mean out of mind. In addition to foundation inspections, we inspect basements as well. This inspection will cover your electric panels, fuse box, and water heater. Another thing we check during basement inspections is the radon level of your home.
Radon is a clear, radioactive gas with no odor. Wisconsin soil releases radon into homes through cracks in the foundation or basement walls. Regular radon testing from Wall to Wall Home Inspections will ensure your home has safe levels of this gas.
Get a foundation and basement inspection before you buy or sell a house. Learn about the affordable combined cost of inspections.

Best of 2009 #24: Learning Experience.
Cutting off your hair does not magically keep you from turning 30. It does not throw open doors for the free-spirited, risk-taking side of yourself, either. (Just being a free-spirited, risk-taking person does in fact open those doors). It doesn't help identify you as a feministy Novo-Collegian, not when you have to take 15 extra minutes getting ready every morning. Actually, it throws you right back into that feeling of being an awkward teenager while at the same encouraging others to point at your head, squeal, and make comments.
I think 2010 will be the year of growing out my hair…
I didn't know you cut your hair! It looks cute in this picture, but I'll have to see you in person to really pass judgement. ;-) When can we get together???

At a time when many banks are closing their branches to save money, Barclays is diversifying and opening its 'Eagle Labs'. The aim is to repurpose under-used branch spaces to bring digital knowledge to the communities that they serve – regardless of whether they are Barclays customers.
Now you might ask what this has to do with content, but only if you view content – in the context of engaging a customer segment with your brand values – purely as the written word or a video. If we think of content as narrative – creative ways of engaging an audience – you can see that even a bricks and mortar initiative such as this as part of Barclays' content strategy: making a play for small businesses and sole traders, the backbone of the UK economy.
The labs will house 'makerspaces' (in case you don't know, these are community-operated workspaces where people, usually with an interest in technology or digital fields, can meet and collaborate), which include laser cutters and 3D printers. This means that small, cost-conscious businesses can produce prototypes without outsourcing overseas. There are also 'incubators', designed to provide resources and mentoring for fast-growing businesses.
After successful pilots in Bournemouth and Cambridge, a third Eagle Lab is opening tomorrow in a disused Barclays branch in Brighton. The plan is to open up to 20 Eagle Labs across the UK in 2016.
And it's not just about business. Each lab will also see their 'digital eagles' helping community groups, children, students and the elderly to become more tech-savvy. The labs will provide workshops, such as computer coding lessons for kids and cyber fraud awareness events, as well as 'Tea and Teach' sessions, which are free and aim to build people's confidence using computers and the internet – with tea and coffee included. There's also the Barclays Digital Driving Licence – a free online learning tool designed to develop and grow knowledge and confidence in the digital world.
Despite offering a lot of free services, the labs will carry a small charge for use of the machinery or hire of meeting rooms and event spaces, but the labs are currently free to use on Fridays.
One of the defining aspects of content marketing is that it's often a long-tail sale. Instant purchase isn't usually the purpose – engagement and consideration is. So you can see how this is part of that strategy. Why not open a savings account for your child as they learn to code? But Barclays also seem to be considering the bigger picture, stating that tech-savvy businesses benefit the economy, and a booming economy benefits banks.
Barclays is 326 years old, but has recognised the need to adapt and change to keep up with content trends, shifting business demographics and a digital world.
