One Donor, 14 Recipients
Thanks to the generosity of one of Te Karaka's donors 14 people with hearing and visually impairments have received grants over the last two years for equipment to help in their day to day lives, education and to help keep safe.
"We've been delighted to work with this kind, generous donor to realise her aspirations to help people with disabilities," says Te Karaka Foundation CE Grace Wesolowska.
Over the last two years grants have been given for specialist smoke alarms and alarms for deaf children, cochlear implant covers to enable children with implants to still be able to hear while swimming or playing sport in the rain, assistive technology for learning and working and even a tandem bike to enable a visually impaired woman to keep fit and enjoy the outdoors.
Two BLENNZ (Blind Low Vision Education Network) Taranaki students have received iPads to provide increased accessibility to learning. "We're grateful for the grants for Ben and Jack who will benefit from having their own iPads that can be used at school and home for learning," says Kay Hood, Manager, BLENNZ Taranaki.
"The iPad provides many accessible features and apps from access to books that can be enlarged to the child's preferred font size, apps to read the text when children require a visual break to apps to scan and enlarge worksheets that allow the child to write or draw on them so they can be printed or emailed to the teacher," she adds.
Hearing impaired Eden Fairweather recently received a smoke and alarm clock system that when triggered create vibrations in her beds and flash lights on the clock to grab her attention.
"Thanks for giving our daughter such a lifesaving and life changing gift," says Dad Jason Fairweather.
"I'm thrilled that my modest gift of funding for those with hearing and visual challenges has already benefited 14 people and their families, it just goes to show how targeting funding can be quite transformative," says Te Karaka Foundation's donor.

Big Green Bowl
Finally, a machine that works as hard to capture the gold as you do!
Finally, a machine that works as hard to capture the gold as you do!
The Corbus 7000 is the largest Centrifugal Placer Gold Recovery System capable of recovering nuggets as well as flour gold.
With our marine grade motors and gear boxes you will be able to avoid operational shutdown that costs time and money.
Clean-ups will take less than 30 minutes instead of hours. You will be back on-line in no time and ready for the next shift.
With the Corbus 7000 you will be able to feed over 100 yards per hour into the washplant and recover more gold than you ever thought possible.
Maintenance is virtually nonexistent. There are wear bars in the bowl that may need to be changed out after about 60 days. Time required for this is 30 minutes.
The advantages of a centrifugal system over a conventional sluice is weight. Small flat gold will be able to "kite" or dislodge in typical sluice turbidity. At 50 RPM the 7000 will create 6 G's at the outer edge. A one gram flake of gold would now weigh as much as a 1/4 ounce nugget! A 200 mesh piece would weigh as much as a 30 mesh piece of gold and would be well within range of a high percentage capture.
So you can see, by making the gold heavier and pulling it out of the main water flow, gold loss is reduced to almost immeasurable amounts. Less loss means more gold at the end of a run.
Enjoy higher profits and a happier mine boss and crew.


text: Cyber Akuma 0 Posted July 26, 2018 I know this is an a known issue, and I have read all of the guides in the troubleshooting section on why running Defraggler could cause less free space, and followed all of them to prevent it... but they didn't help, it's still happening to me. I had 181GB free on a 2TB drive. I ran Defraggler, and suddenly I was at 165GB free. I looked up the guides that mentioned VSS and restore points being the cause, and followed all of them. I disabled VSS in Defraggler, I used Disk Cleanup to delete all shadow copies and restore points, and even went into the restore points tool and deleted any remaining restore points from there as well as used CCleaner to clean up any temp files, but it didn't seem to help. After all that, I was left with 200GB free. So I tried running Defraggler again.... and now I am back at 165GB left free. Disk Cleanup/System Restore is telling me that I don't even have any restore points left on my system now to delete, CCleaner also says there are only 6 megs of temp files on my system, the free space is just gone.

Understanding Nevada's energy ballot questions
"Don't let Nevada become like California" is one of the things we've heard regarding the heated battle over whether or not to deregulate Nevada's energy. Is your head spinning listening to the ads for both sides of the issue? On Sept. 10 everyone is welcome to attend the Douglas County Democratic Women's luncheon where two guest speakers will discuss the important controversy regarding Questions 3 and 6 on this November's ballot.
Question 3, the "Energy Choice" initiative, will be thoroughly explained and your questions answered by Mike Roberson, Northern Nevada outreach coordinator. Kyle Roerink, communication director, presents the reasons to vote 'yes' on Question 6. He will detail how Nevada's state-of-the-art geothermal facilities are vital to ensuring that electricity demand is met, power bills are low, local communities prosper and Nevada's economy and environment remain vibrant.
Or you might want to talk to someone who experienced energy deregulation in Southern California in the late 1990s. I personally found that they resulted in no "choices" and my DWP bills went through the roof.
Tickets are $25 per person and include lunch and the program. You may pay at the door however, reservations are required and must be made by noon on Sept. 6. Sorry, late cancellations or no-shows must be charged for as meals are purchased in advance. The event will be held at Carson Valley Inn, 1627 Hwy. 395, Minden. Contact DCDW at firstname.lastname@example.com or 265-0539. Registration is at 11:30 and the program begins at 11:45 a.m.
While there you will notice a fancy looking "Orphan Gold" collection box. It is a fundraising project to can help DCDW support its projects and goals not covered by membership dues. If you have only one gold hoop earring, a broken gold chain or anything you no longer use in your jewelry box please consider donating it. You can check to see if a piece is costume or actually gold by finding the marking 10K, 14K or 18K. Another way is by using a strong magnet to test it. If it is not attracted to the magnet, it is most likely solid gold. Your donations are greatly appreciated. If you have questions on this program please contact Sharon Hoelscher Day, committee chair, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Floods are the most frequent natural hazard in Canada and the most costly in terms of property damage. Prepare for a flood and reduce the likelihood of flood damage:
- Put weather protection sealant around basement windows and the base of ground-level doors.
- Install the drainage downspouts a sufficient distance from your residence.
- Consider installing a sump pump and zero reverse flow valves in basement floor drains
- Do not store important documents or valuables in the basement.
If a flood is forecast:
- Turn off basement furnaces and the outside gas valve.
- Take special precautions to safeguard electrical, natural gas or propane heating equipment.
If flooding is imminent:
- Move furniture, electrical appliances and other belongings to the floor above ground level.
- Remove toxic substances such as pesticides and insecticides from the flood area.
- Disconnect eaves troughs if they are connected to the house sewer.
- Do not attempt to shut off electricity if any water is present.
During a Flood
- Listen to the radio to find out what areas are affected, what roads are safe, where to go and what to do if the local emergency team asks you to leave your home.
- Never cross a flooded area:
- If you are on foot, fast water could sweep you away.
- If you are in a car, do not drive through flood water or underpasses.
- Avoid crossing bridges if the water is high and flowing quickly.
After a Flood
Re-entering your home:
- Do not return home until authorities have advised that it is safe to do so.
- If the main power switch was not turned off prior to flooding do not re-enter your home until a qualified technician has determined it is safe to do so.
- Appliances that may have been flooded pose a risk of shock or fire when turned on. Have them inspected by a qualified electrician.
- The main electrical panel must be cleaned, dried, and tested by a qualified electrician to ensure it is safe.
- If a natural gas odour is present:
- Don't touch any electrical fixtures, telephones or switches – any spark may ignite the gas line.
- Don't light matches or smoke cigarettes.
- Open all windows to ventilate the house.
- Leave the house immediately.
- Contact the gas company and the fire department from a safe place.
- If you are exposed to biological hazards (raw sewage); you may become ill by breathing or swallowing the contaminants. Some contaminants like bacteria or viruses may be left indoors by floodwater, while fungi or mould may grow indoors after water has left.
Ensure building safety:
- Make sure the building is structurally safe.
- Look for buckled walls or floors.
- Watch for holes in the floor, broken glass and other potentially dangerous debris.
- Flood water can be heavily contaminated with sewage and other pollutants.
- If through colour, odour or taste you suspect that your drinking water has been contaminated, don't drink it.
- If you accidentally swallow flood water or sediment that is contaminated, you might develop gastrointestinal (digestive tract) illness. Contact your physician if this occurs.
- Household items that have been flood-damaged will have to be discarded according to local regulations.
To reduce your risk of illness:
- Do not drink the water.
- Discard food that has come in contact with flood waters.
- Wash your hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, before eating or preparing food, or after participating in flood clean-up activities.
Cleaning up
- Use soap or detergent, 'elbow grease' and hot water. Thoroughly clean all hard surface with hot water and laundry or dish detergent.
- When cleaning wear rubber cloves, an N-95 disposable mask and other protective equipment.
- Thorough scrubbing with a detergent or soap and water, then mopping with a mixture of 120 millilitres (one-half cup) of liquid bleach in nine litres (two gallons) of water is recommended to clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces.
- Remove and discard items that can't be washed and disinfected.
- Remove and discard drywall and insulation that has been contaminated with sewage or flood waters. Note: We suggest you contact your insurance agent to obtain approval before discarding or destroying any furniture or equipment or removing structural elements such as drywall.
- Wash your hands with soap and clean water after being in contact with flood water, sewage or items that have been contaminated.
- Wash all clothes worn during the clean-up in hot water and detergent and separately from uncontaminated clothes and linens. If possible discard clothing used for clean-up activities.
Foods affected by flooding
- Disinfect everything the water has touched with a chlorine bleach solution (2 tablespoons of bleach per litre of water).
- Discard food that has come into contact with floodwaters. The following should be considered unsafe and thrown away if they may have come in contact with contaminated flood waters:
- Food and food products stored within paper, cloth or cardboard boxes/containers.
- Home canned foods.
- Flour, grains, sugar, and coffee in canisters or bags.
- Fresh meat, poultry and seafood.
- Any food in cellophane.
- Fresh fruits and vegetables that do not have a peel or shell that can be removed before eating.
- Bottled or canned juices, bottled water, condiments, peanut butter, jellies.
- Commercially canned food without dents, leaks or bulges are considered safe if properly cleaned and sanitized. To sanitize, remove label, thoroughly wash the cans in warm soapy water and rinse with clean water, soak for 30-60 minutes in a solution of 2 spoonfuls of bleach in water, re-label cans with a permanent marker, making sure to include the expiration date.
- Containers and utensils that come in contact with food may also be unsafe. If they have come in contact with contaminated flood waters do the following:
- Dishes and eating and cooking utensils should be thoroughly cleaned with water and chlorine bleach solution.
- Throw away any plastic utensils, paper and plastic plates, wooden bowls, chopping boards and kitchen tools or any other non-food items that are made from a porous material.
- Food preparation surfaces should be wiped down using hot tap water and soap. Use bleach and water to sanitize after cleaning.
- If any plates, glasses, pots or pans are badly chipped or damaged do not use them.
Refrigerators, Freezers, Stove and Other Appliances
- Any appliance that has been partially or wholly immersed in water will have wet insulation with no insulation value. It can't be dried without removal. A qualified service technician should be contacted before the appliance is put into service.
- Once the safety of the appliance has been verified, it should be cleaned by turning off the power, cleaning with a detergent solution, rinsing with clean water, wash with solution containing one-half cup of Javex or similar product in 9 litres (2 gallons) of water, and allowing the unit to dry with the door open.
- Store all valuable papers that have been damaged in a freezer until needed.
- If possible, record details of flood damage by photograph or video.
- Contact your insurance agent and local municipality immediately to notify them of the amount of damage to your home.

Printed solar panels a shining light for saving energy – Sydney Morning Herald
An Australian breakthrough in lightweight solar panels that can turn any surface into an energy source could deliver a boost to local manufacturing.
The University of Newcastle Centre of Organic Electronics developed proprietary technology using organic polymers that capture solar energy and conduct electricity.
Liquid organic polymers are laid onto sheets of material by everyday printers, like ink on paper, to create a solar panel just 0.075 millimetres thick that can be stuck, with special adhesive tape, to a range of surfaces. Traditional rooftop photovoltaic solar panels use silicon to conduct electricity.
The first demonstration project for printed solar is powering a light display in Lane Cove town centre on Sydney's north shore, with panels stuck on the roof of a covered walkway powering the entire set-up.
Professor Dastoor said that, in the near future, printed solar technology could be developed to fit almost any surface to power urban lighting, roadsides water pumps, disaster shelters, caravans and camping equipment, and be installed on anything from smart blinds for residential buildings to floating covers for dams and pools, greenhouse covers, or even yacht sails.
"Imagine a world where everyone has access to electricity, and where every surface can generate clean, low cost, sustainable energy from the sun," Professor Dastoor said.
But it's not all smooth sailing for printed solar. While its production cost of $10 a square metre is very low, and the panels weigh next to nothing compared with rooftop solar, which tips the scales at about 15 kilograms a square metre, printed solar is far less efficient and durable than established technologies.
Printed solar panels last for only two years and deliver just 2 per cent of the efficiency of rooftop panels, which are built to last about 20 years.
Professor Dastoor said his team had calculated that, to be competitive, his printed solar technology needed to deliver a three-year lifespan and operate at 3 per cent the efficiency of existing technology, which he said would be achieved "within the next two years".
Outside niche applications printed solar could find a household market through a retail contract that work by "leasing your roof space for cheaper power", Professor Dastoor said.
"The business model could be that electricity retailers offer the technology on a contract basis similar to mobile phones – the retailer installs and replaces the panels as they wear out and you get discounted power," Professor Dastoor said.

Massive spike in demand for masks leads to sale restrictions – The Age
A day after urging millions of Victorians to don masks, Premier Daniel Andrews said it was "almost certain" that masks would be part of the state government's long-term coronavirus response.
Mitre10 was selling packs of five N95 masks or 10 disposable masks, costing $25 and $15 respectively.

"This is going to be a feature of our response for a very long time, particularly when we get to the other side of this shutdown," Mr Andrews said on Saturday.
"Part of opening up, I think it's almost certain that the wearing of masks, where you can't distance, will be an important feature of our next pandemic response."
Independent designers and online retailers were also flooded with mask orders via Facebook and Instagram pages and Etsy stores.
Carlton jeweller Clara Carija started making free cloth masks for front-line workers at the start of the pandemic after her parents-in-law were caught up on one of the stricken cruise ships marooned off the coast of Uruguay.

Ms Carija said she had previously sold a handful of masks to friends in America and parts of Australia. On Friday night, she received more than 100 orders for her Mask Maiden Melbourne store.
"I am going to be sewing like mad. I have put on pause any jewellery making for now," she said.
Mr Andrews said he was grateful to Victorians for covering up.
"It's quite noticeable that many more people are wearing masks now," he said.
"It's not compulsory, but where you are out for a lawful purpose and you believe you may not be able to maintain that 1.5 metre distance from other people, then … it's a low cost, high reward.
"No mask is foolproof, but every contribution helps."
Health Minister Jenny Mikakos said the state had 32 million masks stockpiled for health services.
Another 2 million Australian-made reusable masks will be ordered and distributed to "priority groups".
In a video released on Friday night, Victoria's Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton suggested nimble-fingered Victorians could make their own three-layered mask, and demonstrated the correct way to wear it.
"A mask should fit securely around the face, specifically covering your nose and mouth areas," he said.
"The mask should fit snugly on your face and be secured by ties at the back of your head or by ear loops.
"Make sure that your mask does not have holes or a valve. This can result in breathing out the virus if you have coronavirus."

A tang is a red-eyed dinosaur-like predator that roams Eelong. In Black Water, tangs are dangerous monsters that hunt the gars and klees. The tangs show a small hint of intelligence when they ambush Bobby Pendragon, some gars, and klees. Bobby thought that they were the quigs of Eelong when he first arrived.
Tangs resembled dinosaurs, with scales and a tail. Tangs had three sharp claws, which were used for hunting gars and klees. When they get hungry, tangs smell like rotting meat. The fact that they have red eyes helped Bobby differentiate them from the gar-quigs he confronted in the beginning of Black Water.
Black Water
In Black Water, Bobby had to fend off tangs throughout the book.The first time one was seen was outside of the flume, leading to Bobby assuming they are quigs. However, he later realizes that the tang had red eyes, not yellow. Many tangs later show up and attack the klee foragers. In the massacre, numerous gars and one klee were killed.
The Pilgrims of Rayne
Although they do not make a physical appearance, Gunny writes in a letter to Mark and Courtney noting that the klees and gars united and created a system to avoid surprise tang attacks.
The Soldiers Of Halla
Bobby was attacked by a tang almost as soon he set foot on Eelong, but was saved by a gar, who blew a whistle and tamed it. When the klees, under the influence of Ravinia, revived Edict Forty-Six and attempt to attack Black Water, the gars reveal that they had been taming tangs and called for them to attack the klees as a last resort.

Quebec's sovereigntist impulse is allegedly in remission, but don't get too excited out there. In its place come new ways of provoking that part of Canada that isn't east of Ontario and west of the Maritimes. Perhaps that's the true genius of what makes it a "distinct" society: the ability to effortlessly exasperate the rest of the country.
Premier François Legault managed it with barely a hint of effort when he suggested that, henceforth, only those citizens with a verifiable history in the province should expect the courtesy of being addressed in English.
"If your parents went to the English school, you have rights in Quebec and we will respect those rights," he said. "If you're a new immigrant, we have to talk with them in French, that's the difference."
Perhaps that's the true genius of what makes it a 'distinct' society
See how easy that was? If you don't reside in Quebec, you may have thought: "Hmmmm. Isn't English one of our official languages? In fact, isn't it the official language spoken by the overwhelming majority of the country? And, now that I think of it, shouldn't the overwhelming majority of the country be justified in expecting it could reasonably anticipate being served in one part of the country as it is served in others?"
One would think.
But of course the new non-sovereigntist "but we're still special" element of Quebec politics doesn't see things that way. We got a healthy dose of that during the recent federal campaign, when Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet made great gains by suggesting he was willing to tolerate other parts of Canada, as long as they didn't presume to suppose Quebec had any duties or responsibilities to the country beyond those that explicitly benefited itself.
Blanchet was said to be channelling Legault, who has achieved admirable popularity ratings within the province by pushing through Bill 21, the law that bans teachers, police, judges and others from wearing clothing reflecting their religion. The fact the rest of the country largely sees the law as a direct attack on religious freedom and a thinly-veiled demonstration of ethnic intolerance only strengthens its allure within the province. How better to demonstrate your "unique" status than to have the whole country tell you you're wrong, and not give a hoot? Legault adroitly followed up by letting slip that he would be introducing a "values test" on potential immigrants, to ensure they appreciated just what is required of them as Quebecers. The aim of the test is to "integrate in French into Quebec society and adhere to Quebec values." When quizzed about the test, the example Legault immediately offered was a need to ensure newcomers understood all about Bill 21. As in, bonjour, welcome to Quebec, you know you're going to have to lose the turban if you want to teach Grade 3, right?
How better to demonstrate your 'unique' status than to have the whole country tell you you're wrong, and not give a hoot?
Now, fresh off that triumph, Legault has suggested that only "historic Anglophones" should expect to receive government services in English. New Quebecers — i.e. the ones who managed to pass the values test — should anticipate being dealt with solely in French. And, in case you were wondering what constitutes a "historic Anglophone," Legault's Coalition Avenir Québec had its definition already at hand. Never mind that Canadians continue to spend heavily on bilingualism policies across the country for the sake of the minority that use them, and that great uproars erupt at any perceived backtracking; in Quebec they see no reason to offer a similar degree of service.
Language laws have always been an easy way for Quebecers to drive others crazy. Recently Language Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette suggested a ban on the popular greeting "bonjour-hi," because, you know … there's a hint of a public willingness to coexist in there, and we surely can't have that. He eventually backed down, but you know he'll be back. Language perversity never dies in Quebec, it just fulminates in a corner. The Parti Québécois government of Pauline Marois attracted international ridicule when Quebec's language police sought to drive the word "pasta" from Italian menus, but the lesson was short-lived. When the issue of "historic Anglophones" arose, former finance minister Carlos Leitão expressed perplexity: "Is there some sort of secret password, secret handshake?"
Leaders of the main federal parties indicated during the election campaign that they remain loath to involve themselves in Quebec's never-ending identity crises, but ignoring a matter doesn't make it go away. While busy denouncing Bill 21, Conservative, New Democrat and Liberal leaders all shied away from a direct challenge. The closest anyone came to girding for battle was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who waved off an immediate challenge as "counterproductive" but allowed that, if the courts didn't make it go away, "a federal government might have to intervene on this."
Lots of things "might" happen, but there is little sign that either Legault or Blanchet intend to ease off on their drive to establish a set of Quebec "values" alien to Canada. In accepting his government's reduction to minority status, Trudeau acknowledged there are strains to national unity that need to be addressed. They are not confined to Alberta, and if Trudeau intends to show he has the will, and leadership skills, to navigate Canada through this latest test of its character he should get busy in Quebec to make clear that being "distinct" doesn't necessarily require being objectionable.

NHS wound specialist nurses in Oxfordshire are aiming to raise awareness about pressure damage – what it is, what the risks are and how it can be prevented.
21 November is worldwide 'Stop Pressure Ulcer Day' which aims to raise an awareness of pressure ulcers (which are also known as pressure sores or bed sores). Pressure ulcers are injuries to the skin that occur over bony prominences as a result of pressure. Without appropriate intervention the damage may worsen, developing into painful, open wounds that can be life-threatening.
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust's Community Tissue Viability Team provides specialist advice and support to healthcare professionals who are managing complex wounds within the community of Oxfordshire. In partnership with Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, the Tissue Viability Team is taking a health bus to the John Radcliffe hospital on 21 November to raise awareness about this condition that is estimated to cost the NHS between £1.4 to £2.1 billion a year. They hope to provide advice and information to both hospital patients, visitors and staff on the risks of pressure damage and how to avoid it.
Tissue viability nurse Linda Binaccioni said: "95% of pressure damage is believed to be avoidable, so we're keen to advise about ways to prevent it happening. We also want to highlight some of the early signs to people so that they can seek help before their skin becomes damaged."
While pressure on the skin as a result of poor mobility is the main cause of damage, there are other factors that can contribute, including poor circulation, moist skin, lack of sensitivity to pain, previous tissue or skin damage or inadequate diet or fluid intake. The most common sites of pressure damage are the heels, hips and bottom.
Linda Binaccioni added: "There are several ways you can reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.
Regularly change your position to keep blood flowing; check your skin for pressure damage at least once a day (red areas) and do not continue to lie on skin that is redder or darker than usual.
Also watch out for blisters, dry patches or breaks in the skin. Pain in your heels can be a sign of developing skin damage. When washing, try to avoid using heavily perfumed soaps and avoid talcum powder as these can soak up the skin's natural oils leading to vulnerable dry areas. Also, make sure you eat a healthy balanced diet and drink plenty of fluids. Extra protein may help."
If you are worried that you or someone you care for may be at risk of developing a pressure ulcer then contact your GP surgery and ask to talk to a practice nurse or district nurse.

We've been down this road before.
We've been down the road where a loved one dies and (because of the circumstances of the death or the nature of their role in the community) grief is pushed from the privacy of livng rooms and chapels and locked bathroom doors. Grief splashes into the public sphere.
Denise Ross has died. A mother. A journalist.
Among her roles as a reporter, blogger, and editor for Black Hills Knowledge Network, she served for many years as an SDPB Dakota Political Junkie. No one could explain a complex or controversial issue with clarity quite like Denise. In true form, she recently sat down with us for an hour-long conversation about cancer in the hopes that others could learn from her personal journey. She was generous. She was open. During that conversation at least, she was determined not to cry.
Like many in my profession, I've written obituaries and memorials and letters-to-staff-to-explain-tragedy. I'm a writer. Writers are called upon to help others find the right words, even when the right words don't exist.
Especially when the right words don't exist.
I'm not going to write about the role of grief in community. I'm not going to write more about Denise. She was surrounded by writers. The people who knew her best now offer words of their own. My job this time is to receive those words and honor her memory and legacy.
I have no healing words to add, mostly because I'm sad. Writers (and radio broadcasters, for that matter) are allowed to be sad.
Cancer just sucks.
In the Moment broadcasts this week from the SDPB Black Hills Studio. Guests will most likely talk about Denise. Or not. Maybe they will stay home and mourn. And that's okay too. Sometimes it's all right to take care of yourself rather than get the newspaper out or the show on the air.
If you don't hear us talk about Denise Ross this week, try "listening between the lines."
Whenever we have intelligent conversations about the role of news in a shifting society, about the issues that matter in South Dakota, about cancer prevention and treatment, we're honoring Denise and the South Dakota reporters who stand for what she stands for.
Integrity. Honesty. Thoughtfulness. The First Amendment.
If you happen to tune in and hear someone crying on the radio this week, that's not something Denise would do.
That's just something the rest of us might do.

This time its a brand new guitar model for G&L, it is their first dive int the Offset Style Guitar market, and it is an incredible guitar!!
I had my good friend, and amazing guitarist, Griff Hamlin demo the instrument and shot with my Canon 6D and t3i and used my Canon L Lenses, 24mm f1.4 and 24-105mm f4. Audio was captured with my Apogee Duet into a MacBook pro.

A year ago a neighborhood in Koloa was hit with flash floods. At that time Rotary Club of Poipu Beach and many other community groups helped families to clean out damaged house materials and goods.
Also, during the past year Rotary Club of Poipu Beach partnered with RumFire Poipu Beach - Kauai Table 53, Hardware Hawaii, and other individuals to raise funds to aid families with recovery and rebuilding.
We recently partnered with Hawaii Red Cross to distribute Hardware Hawaii gift cards to families that had cases of major impact. Recovery is ongoing.

Partnering with Kauai Nonprofits
The Rotary Club of Poipu Beach is awarding $15,000 in community grants to nonprofit organizations on Kauai. The funds come from part of the proceeds of our One Fine Evening fundraiser held in March.
The grant awards are used for items such as uniforms, food for the needy, transportation, safety gear, cultural education, sporting equipment and literacy supplies. Each grantee organization must be sponsored by a Rotarian and then is invited to apply for the grant awards.
Nancy Kanna, Rotary Club of Poipu Beach past president and community grants chair, said since the Community Grant Program was established in 2001, the club has awarded over $275,000 to over 50 organizations.
"By partnering and funding specific items for other nonprofits, we are able to work together to have an even greater impact in the Kauai community," Kanna said.

Does anyone remember Grand Theft Auto's initial incarnation any more? GTA 1 and 2 had some bright ideas, but shoddy bird's eye view graphics prevented it from being any more than an amusing spectacle. This changed when GTA 3 came out in 2001, giving the series the fun factor it needed to back up its dividing and adult subject matter. With GTA 4 taking the series in new directions further still, what changes are left to be made in GTA 5, and what would we want these changes to be?
So you've been on GTA 4 for a while and are eager to get on to your next mission as soon as possible. You're cruising over a bridge to the next mission giver, only to have to come screeching to a halt so you can pay a toll booth. I know you can just plough through them if you wish, but you then have the police to contend with. I get that they need a way to signify the transition between islands and sections of the map, but I hope they'll be able to find a way of showing this that doesn't reduce your speed too much when GTA 5 rolls around.
This one's almost a given. One of the best things about Red Dead Redemption was the random events that occurred during your travels in the wild west. Whether it was highwaymen attacking an innocent bystander, banks getting held up or women tied on the railway tracks, the chance encounters really made the experience all the more involving. Translate that to modern day times and you're sure to have a winning element in GTA 5.
There are many different things you can do in the Grand Theft Auto series but, aside from crowds of civilians running away in hysterics and a police rating, its never really felt like these actions had much consequence. Aside from some allies and friends offering you more services and aid, it would be nice to see some more consequences and reactions for your choices. If you kill a drug dealer, other people in the trade will be less likely to help you; Bikers will help you out if you kill members of rival gangs etc. It would just add that little bit more depth to the usual Grand Theft Auto proceedings.

Meet our people
One of the benefits of doing research is that there are such a large variety of topics that clients will find interesting, which means there is a lot of flexibility in what research topics you can work on.
For an age-old institution to allow ideas and initiatives to travel from the bottom up, that is a gem of a characteristic.
What to expect
Expect to do more than just observe. Throughout your ten weeks, you'll be right where the action is. You'll rotate through two coverage areas, working closely with a Senior Analyst to analyze industry trends and company financials. You'll take on a wide range of challenges, which could include:
- building financial models and industry databases
- scrutinizing publications, annual reports and financial filings to unearth key information for colleagues
- synthesizing and interpreting company data
- turning your findings into reports to support investment ideas
- developing marketing materials.
How you'll develop
Throughout the summer, our support will help you deliver your best work. In our team-driven environment, you'll find that mentoring happens naturally and friendships are easy to form. Senior and junior mentors will guide your progress, and networking and social events will provide a fully rounded experience. Halfway through, you'll get constructive feedback on your performance. By the time the summer's over, you'll walk away with a solid understanding of our business, our culture and your potential place within it. If you perform well and meet our hiring criteria, you could have a full-time role waiting for you after graduation.
Who thrives here
People of any educational background, so long as they have a strong interest in business and finance. We also look for resourcefulness, teamwork skills, enthusiasm and an entrepreneurial spirit, often shown through participation in extracurricular activities.

London, UK 25th February 2010: Ian Littlewood, a Sales Advisor at HBH Woolacotts in Cornwall, has won the grand prize of a luxury eco-holiday worth £2,000 in PURE's 'Less than a Light Bulb'* retailer reward campaign.
During the campaign period (June – Dec 2009), independent retailers saw an upturn in sales of PURE portable Energy Saving Trust radios by almost 25%. The portable digital radio market also increased by 6% in the independent channel in the same period and PURE's 'Less than a Light Bulb' campaign can be seen as a major contributory factor**.
Chris Hemmerle, director of HBH Woolacotts said: "PURE's 'Less than a Light Bulb' campaign worked really well for us; the in-store POS helped focus attention on the products while the holiday promotion for the staff helped to increase sales. Ian was certainly very happy to have won the grand prize! The campaign also helped raise awareness of energy saving products which in turn boosted attachment rates with ChargePAK sales".
Says Colin Crawford, PURE's marketing director: "Independent retailers are best placed to advise customers about the benefits of energy saving products and our 'Less than a Light Bulb' campaign for independent retailers shows that focusing on this can help boost sales as well as create opportunities for incremental sales of accessories such as ChargePAK."
The monthly prizes in the 'Less than a Light Bulb' campaign were won by:
Thomas Waddington of Michael R Peters in Bedford; Angela Ford of HBH Woolacotts in Holsworthy, Devon; Lynda Pennells of Wadley in Bicester; Steven Patterson of EH Services in Belfast; Sarah Spedding of RL Brooks Ltd in Whitehaven, Cumbria; Stella Swan of Around Sound in Leicester and Andrew O'Gorman of O'Gormans Ltd, Bicester.
PURE's Less than a Light Bulb campaign ran from June until December 2009 and encouraged sales of its Energy Saving Trust accredited radios by giving away a monthly tailor-made eco-holiday prize to participating dealers each month followed by a grand prize at the end of the year. A consumer promotion was also available, exclusively at independent dealerships who signed up to the incentive, offering consumers purchasing an Energy Saving Recommended PURE radio a chance to win a luxury eco-holiday.
PURE has received fourteen Energy Saving Recommended (ESR) accreditations for its radios including Move; EVOKE-1S; Siesta; Chronos II; Chronos iDock II; Chronos CD II; Siesta iDock; Sirocco 150; Elan II; TEMPUS-1S; ONE Mini; ONE Classic; ONE Elite; EVOKE Mio and EVOKE-2S.
All fourteen radios endorsed by the Energy Saving Trust are part of EcoPlus™, PURE's green initiative as is PURE's entire product range. EcoPlus™ stands for reduced power consumption, packaging materials from recycled and sustainable sources and components selected to minimise their environmental impact.
For more information, please visit www.pure.com/energysaving.
Editor's Notes
*Running four Energy Saving Recommended radios uses less electricity than one low energy light bulb on for the same time. A PURE Energy Saving Trust accredited digital radio consumes less than 3.5W of electricity in 'on' mode - which with three hours of listening a day (and turned off the rest of the time) would cost 60p a year on the average energy tariff; a typical low energy bulb consumes around 13-18W, which would cost £2.10 - £2.90 a year to run for the same number of hours a day on same the average energy tariff. A typical 13-18W energy saving light bulb is equivalent to a 60W incandescent ('traditional') bulb. 'Average' energy tariff is a price of 13.95p/kWh of electricity (as at Sept 2008).

This fall Caroline Wozniacki reveals some of her most private moments away from the tennis courts when she launches her own underwear collection. The Caroline Wozniacki Underwear collection is designed with Caroline's personal input to reflect her individual style and desired level of comfort. The line will be availbale worldwide in September 2012. The collection provides a glimpse into a more private and personal side of Caroline, as illustrated by the tag line 'This is me'.
The Caroline Wozniacki Underwear collection is made in collaboration with the Danish underwear brand JBS and includes both a cotton/lycra and a microfiber line.
The thoughts behind are, as Caroline puts it:
"A feminine lifestyle/leisure underwear collection for the girl that wants the good looks from fashion, a perfect fit for her body, and a quality that's hard to beat. JBS was the perfect partner to accomplish that with." - Caroline Wozniacki

Bee Forever Events is professional, creative and fabulous! Bridget truly listened to my ideas and made it come to life. Thank you Bee Forever Events for making my party unforgettable.
Alexandra S
I recently attended a Baby Shower hosted by BeeForeverEvents. It was an event I'll never forget because of how well it was orchestrated and decorated. Bridget had every particular detail of the party planned and covered, a desirable characteristic in your event planner. The decorations were beautiful and professionally crafted. What struck me about Bridget is that she puts her entire heart into her planning. She's passionate about her profession and it truly shows through her work. I recommend Bridget if you desire professionalism, dedication and talent for your next party.
Bee Forever Events is who you want to plan your next party. I have been to multiple events planned by Bridget and her staff and have been wowed every time. Bridget is so detailed oriented and it's obvious that she cares about her customers and the work that she is doing. Her party designs are always beautiful, creative, and tasteful. I highly recommend Bee Forever Events!
Christina G
When planning my 2 year old sons birthday party, I wanted something fun for both kids and adults, festive decor, a wide selection of food and drinks all while staying on a budget. Bridget not only worked completely within my budget, but provided more than what i would have expected had there been NO budget at all. Everything from desserts, to cups, to favors and table cloths were in theme. I did not think it would be possible to make a few old park benches look like a pirate ship, but Bridget did it!. As moms, we have so little time to plan our parties, and it winds up becoming more stressful than exciting. With Bridget, I simply explained to her what i wanted, and how much i wanted to spend and she created something i could not have imagined myself. She was patient, kind, understanding and throughout the entire experience showed as much enthusiasm as i did towards making my sons birthday special. She works until you're the happiest you can be, and that is what makes her a step above the rest. All of her favors, candy tables, etc are made with the utmost care and detail. When requesting a " message in a bottle" somewhere in the party decor, i was amazed to see that she took my small request and amplified it by 1000 by hand making message in a bottle favors for EVERY single guest, down to the parchment paper message signed "captain Aaron!". Where i would typically only have time to go to the corner store and buy a sleeve of red solo cups, Bridget custom made "pirate beer mugs" for every adult to drink out of. Aside for what she does to physically create the party you want, her ideas alone are enough to make any event special, she truly has a mind for party planning. From start to finish she kept me happy and at ease, and did the set up and breakdown herself so my focus could remain on the birthday boy. It was a wonderful experience, and Bridget made every step of the way easy and beautiful on my end. I will be going to her for ALL my party needs, and would highly recommend her to anyone having an event. Beeforeverevents!

I hired Bee Forever Events for my Luau theme engagement party and their attention to detail was absolutely mind blowing. I can not thank Bridget enough for all the hard work and dedication she put into my party. From the beginning, she was on top of things, I didn't even think of. I received compliment after compliment on my decor, the mouth watering desserts on my customized dessert table, and her non stop hardworking staff. The bartender was friendly and personable with all of my guests, and the servers made sure there was not a dirty dish in sight. From beginning, to the end , Bridget was there to help with suggestions, listened to my ideas, and made my vision come alive. My party was better than I could have ever dreamed of, and I look forward to working with Bridget on whatever events I have in the future, no matter how big or small. Thank you for making my party an event I will never forget!

I recently moved from Staten Island to Virginia. My whole family still lives in New York. My husband and I wanted to do a 1st birthday party for our daughter in SI. After searching the internet to find someone to help me plan, I came across Bee Forever Events. Being very weary about having someone else plan my party, and being so far away, I decided to give this company a try. Boy, am I glad I did! The owner of the company, Bridget eased my anxiety and said she will take care of everything. We were in communication for months through email and phone. Every step of the way Bridget made sure she gave me updates on what was happening with my party. She is extremely dedicated to her craft and knows how to deal with crazy Moms like me. The day of the party came, and I was BLOWN away by her work and design of my vision of the party. I showed up to the venue and felt like a guest. I had to do nothing for my party and was able to enjoy my friends and family who I haven't seen in almost 2 years. It was very enjoyable. She even sent me her own employees to sit with the kids to do activities. Which I wasnt expecting. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to have a party. I wish she was located in Virginia so I can do all my parties with Bee Forever Events!
Bridget is the BEST!! I am a busy single Mom, trying to juggle it all and maintain a career. I reached out to Bee Forever for my twin son's 7th birthday. She made the boys feel so special and even stayed at the party to help entertain the kids. She really went above and beyond to make the day something they will never forget. She stayed within my budget and made it so easy. I am not artistic and I would have never thought to add names on kids party favors to make each child feel special. She is very dedicated to her business and it shows. Thank you Bridget for helping me make my sons happy and on a budget!!! I recommend her services to anyone!

God Bless Miss USA
BET Article Written by Janell Hickman Photography by Rayon Richards
As a community, we know that royalty runs through us, but that doesn't mean that anyone else acknowledges it. We rarely see ourselves represented as kings and queens. It's pretty much the reason why so many heads still spin for Meghan Markle.But Meghan is not the first nor the only Black girl who wears a crown.
This year, it was incredibly groundbreaking to see the crowning of Cheslie Kryst(Miss USA), Kaliegh Garris (Miss Teen USA) and Nia Franklin (Miss America), three Black women collectively reigning over America as beauty queens. It's a major accomplishment in a world where diversity and inclusion can feel optional or certainly opportunistic. Yet, even within the momentous moment, the press coverage focused relentlessly on the topic that doggedly shadows Black women the most: hair. "Obviously, I know my hair is one of the characteristics that people see," says Garris. "You see me, you see my hair! It's not something you usually see on a pageant stage. Growing up, I always competed with straight hair, so when I decided to go natural it was just for me personally. It's something I wanted to do."
"I expected [all the press on my hair], because it is changing the standards of what people think is acceptable on stage for pageantry," she adds. "But I also brought in an equal amount of recognition on myself for my personality too. However, if it takes me being recognized for my hair to get other girls more confident with themselves and being able to see that wearing their natural hair is beautiful, I'm OK with that."
Despite their 10-year age gap, it's hard not to notice that Kryst, 28, and Garris, 18, loosely resemble one another. I asked both women the controversial question of "How do you identify"? Not because their Blackness needs to be defined or defended to me, but because it is definitely a topic that comes up, especially in America, where we know the "one drop rule" to be a contentious part of our complicated racial history. I felt the ask to be necessary. Garris, who has a Caucasian mother and Black father, views herself as bi-racial. On the other hand, Kryst didn't hesitate to look me in the eye and let me know she is indeed a Black woman.
"I will never forget reading an article where Halle Berry was talking about her race and how she identified," Kryst says. "She said, 'I'm a Black woman, with a white mother.' I finally figured out that that's how I feel. I figured out that I am a Black woman and I happened to have a white father. That's how I identify. It's how I've been for years."
Pageantry goes much deeper than beauty, the contestants are smart, accomplished and ambitious. What you don't see behind the scenes is the eight judges who grill the women on everything from the opioid crisis to pop culture, and even the gender pay gap. These women have not only beaten the odds, but shatter myths about the type of people who "deserve" the crown. I had the chance to catch up with Kryst and Garris to discuss what life with a crown feels like — and if the responsibility ever weighs them down. Here's what they had to say.
Upon meeting Kryst, her poise is apparent. Not in a stuck-up manner, but she possesses an unshakable confidence that is admirable (and might even spark envy in others). Maybe it's because she didn't enter the pageant circuit until her freshman year of high school, or that she's still a working attorney in addition to her title (more on that later), or maybe it's because winning runs in her blood: her mother, April Simpkins, was crowned Mrs. North Carolina in 2002.
Growing up, Kryst had to navigate her identity early and quickly. She grew up with a white father, a white stepfather and a Black mother. The topic of "what are we?" came up often with her siblings. "I grew up in a time where you could be Black, white or other. As a little kid, we wondered, are we supposed to be other? Are we Black? Are we white? Are we tan? I remember all of us having that conversation and wondering what to do about that. When I grew up, there was no such thing as 'mixed.' I grew up knowing that I had to pick one and wanting to belong somewhere, belong to a community."
The phrase "representation matters" feels commonplace and outdated at the same time, considering it's 2019. (Yes, I know it feels as though TV networks and movie execs are finally getting the memo.) But while Kryst admits that despite her win feeling "unbelievable," she somehow knew it wasn't flat-out impossible. "As a younger woman, I did see some Miss USA's who did look like me, like Carole Gist, like Kenya Moore," she explains.
"There were tons over time who were women of color and who were important for me to see. All the wins for women of color in 2019 — Miss USA, Teen USA and Miss America — is an incredible moment in time, because I think it shows people there doesn't have to be just one of 'us.' There doesn't just have to be a token person of color in any area of life. If you're the best bet, if you're the most capable competitor, you deserve that crown or you deserve that role that you're going for — that's important for everybody to see."
The sentiment of "there can only be one" runs deep inside (and out) the pageant community. "[When I'm competing], I'd constantly wonder how many of 'us' could fit in the top five or top 10," she says. "I'd wonder if the judges would think 'We just need a token one and we're good.' I found myself competing against a few other women of color and thinking, 'Which one of us is going to make it?' Because it's almost never more than one."
Kryst doesn't fit the mold of a "typical" pageant queen (in fact, she is an attorney), and it feels deliberate. For example, she's pretty unfazed with the entire debate about the swimsuit aspect of the competition being demeaning to women. I could almost feel the eye-roll when asked about it. "Something that's always been incredibly frustrating for me is that I get asked, 'Does the swimsuit competition objectify women?' But I cannot think of a time when Arnold Schwarzenegger got asked the same question even though he was Mr. Universe and ended up becoming the governor of one of the largest states in our country." Fair point, except that we know that's not the way that oppression works. This wouldn't have to be a question if things were truly equal.
But as it turns out, body positivity and equality in all aspects were integral to her upbringing. Her mom proudly slipped on a swimsuit come competition time, and her dad was a competitive bodybuilder. "Growing up, I knew that there was nothing wrong with being proud of who I am and being proud of the body that I have," she adds. "That, for me, changed the way that I looked at pageants, because I always looked at swimsuit as an opportunity to be proud of who I am and not as an opportunity for people to just stare at me."
18-year-old Garris effortlessly transitions from carefree teen to seasoned pageant pro in literally a millisecond. She'd giggle when the topic of, say, prom came up but carefully craft an answer to more difficult questions like race and politics. It's a skill that I'm sure a few celebrity publicists wished their clients had more of under their belts.
Her road to Miss USA was one of her own makings; Garris always had a strong desire to compete. "I begged my mom to let me do a pageant. We waited a few years — and I was only allowed to do one per year — and also, in the pageants I did, we were not allowed to wear makeup until the age of 13. It was all natural." Her goal? The naturally shy Garris wanted to gain better speaking skills and hold conversations, even the tough ones, like racial identity.
"I self-identify as biracial, because it's a struggle that I had growing up," she explains when asked if being called a "Black" Miss USA bothers her. "My mom was my image of beauty. I wanted to have straight hair just like her, and I wanted to try to sun-bleach my hair as much as I can — I would stay outside as long as possible. It was just because that's who I was surrounded by... I was surrounded by women with straight hair."
"Growing up, I never felt beautiful with my natural hair," she explains. "I started straightening my hair at the age of six. I only actually have one photo of me with my natural hair when I was younger. It was either tied back in a ponytail or a braid of some sort, because it's like, anything we could do to not have to deal with it, that's what we would do. Both of those experiences, looking back and seeing how I used to embrace myself, I would hide and conceal my hair, to fully embracing my hair and going out in public... and still seeing people being surprised by it."
Now, her schedule is anything but normal. Garris navigates her life a week at a time dividing between her Miss USA responsibilities and, you know, real life. "Everything is set in stone schedule-wise," she explains. "Since we're going into summer, a few things will change, but typically I would go to my first school in the morning until around noon. I have a little break until about one-ish, so I go and hang out with friends, I get a bubble tea because there's a bubble tea place down the street that I, like, absolutely love. Then, my second school is in session from 1 p.m until 4:10 p.m. Afterwards, I'll head to dance practice. If I happened to have an event that day, it would be in the morning. I'd come into the city super early and then leave mid-morning and then go to school right after."
Despite her rigorous schedule, Garris' team makes sure she "has time to do my normal teenager things," like prom. "I was in L.A. the day before prom, and we specifically scheduled it so that I would be back in time for prom. I got back the day of and I still had time to get ready, put on my dress, take pictures and everything."
She still makes time for her long-time friends planning get-togethers, dinners and picnics. "We also really like hikes, it's really weird. The theater kids love all these adventurous things that not a normal friend group would do. I'm the driver in the group, because I'm the only one designated and legal enough to drive everyone. We love blasting music on the highway, singing together and throwing back some Jonas Brothers songs and listening to that. That's what I like to do for fun."
Being critical of America's current political climate seems like an oxymoron for two women who, ultimately, represent our country on a world stage. They have yet to receive an invite to come to the White House by President Donald Trump, but they have received multiple invitations and accolades within their home states. However, I wanted to get a complete picture of their belief system and how they navigate this complicated position as women of color, and it was important to learn more about their political views.
Kryst responded thoughtfully, "There's nothing wrong with me having an opinion about politics. But me being Miss USA, my primary goal and objective is to make sure that I don't alienate people, because people do look to me as being a representative for a number of people across this country. That includes Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and a bevy of other people. I want to make sure that they know their opinion and perspective is welcome and that they should share it.
"I do feel a certain sense of pressure [with my win]," she continues. "I want to make sure I'm a good representative. I want people to feel included and I want to feel [that the win is about them] even though I'm the one physically experiencing it."
Garris (who wasn't old enough to vote in the last presidential election) mirrored similar sentiments. "I'm never going to lie on my opinion, but you do have to factor in other people's beliefs," she says. "Now that I am a public figure and I have younger girls looking up to me, of course I am going to be careful of what I say, because I don't want to offend anybody — that's just who I am. But I'm never going to shy away from saying my opinion just because I'm worried that it's going to scare some people off."
Being launched into the public spotlight comes with some expected highs and lows — one of them being unsolicited opinions. "Having to prep my family on what the media and other people say to me on Instagram or Facebook was one of those moments where I realized that life is not the same anymore," admits Kryst. "Sometimes [they] will get angry about people writing mean comments on my Facebook or my Instagram, or not liking me and preferring somebody else. That was a huge change for me, not realizing that my family was just as much affected as I was because of this win and this pivotal moment in time."
Kryst has come to accept that being different is in fact, beautiful. "I think I spent a lot of time wanting to fit in and wanting to conform and wanting to look and be like other people," she explains. "But I think I realized as I got older is that being unique and being different, there's a strength to it. There's a power to it that allows you to feel authentic and be yourself, to not worry about trying to look like somebody else and losing who you are. Instead, you just get to go out and be authentic, and there's power in that."

After months of harsh weather, our skin is in dire need of a beauty revamp. The question is: Which products should we be using and which should we be avoiding? Below are a few guidelines on how to change up your skin care for spring.
Moisturizer: After some very drying weather, we need to rebuild our skin and replenish the moisture that was lost. What exactly do you need to look for in a moisturizer? Keep an eye out for products that double as a moisturizer and a skin protectant. Sunflower oil and vitamin E work as emollients that traps moisture inside skin cells, plus they keep the skin hydrated. Look out for alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids, which help replenish dry skin. Another moisturizer must-have is glycolic acid, which works to gently to remove dead skin cells and leave you with glowing skin.
Exfoliate vs. Cleanse: Sometimes we feel like we have to give up one for the other as the season changes, but luckily, that's not the case. Exfoliating works to help rid your skin of any dry, rough layers left over from the winter. When you're looking for the best scrub, avoid walnut shells or apricot pits, which are rougher exfoliants and can therefore irritate or tear the skin. Instead look for ingredients like brown sugar, or scrubs that contain beta hydroxy acids. Where exfoliating should really only happen once or twice a week, cleansing should ideally happen twice a day (morning and night). Using a mild, unscented cleanser will help to ensure your skin won't be irritated.
Don't Forger The SPF: SPF is a must-have year-round, but now that the weather is warmer, we'll all likely be outside more and therefore, there's more of an emphasis on sunscreen. Make sure you know which works for your face and which for the rest of your body, because sometimes the formula for your body can cause the skin on your face to break out. Always keep an eye out for non-chemical sunscreens with ingredients like titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide, as these do not react with skin the way more harsh chemicals do.

I've never met you, you've never met me and it's quite likely we will never meet. From all I've heard, you are a tremendous young baseball talent who can throw a baseball pretty hard. That's great, I like when my favourite teams draft players like this.
However, Tyler Beede, I am not here to praise your baseball skills today. I'm sure you have had people your whole life telling you how great you are Tyler, so today I'm going to tell you something different.
You are an idiot.
You were drafted 21st overall by the Toronto Blue Jays and if Keith Law's tweets are to be believed, you turned down a $2.3 million signing bonus that was offered to you to play professional baseball. That is about $1 million more than the recommended slot bonus for someone drafted in that position.
So, Tyler, you have decided that instead of cashing in on your physical talents with an amount that could set you and your future kids up financially for life, you will go to Vanderbilt, presumably to try to move up higher in the draft, to stroke your ego and pad your future cheque book.
So what if you blow out your arm in your college career?
What if college players turn out to be better than the high school kids you've been mowing down and you don't adjust well, falling from a first round draft pick to someone who a team sure as hell isn't going to pay $1 million for?
Or what if a new collective bargaining agreement is put in place that prevents teens from getting million dollar paydays before they've accomplished anything in professional baseball? Wouldn't that be tragic?
I promise I'm not just being spiteful because you didn't sign for my favourite team. In fact, I wrote a post about a month ago about this exact same topic – my disbelief that people can turn down this kind of money for a shot at a bigger payday down the road.
I just am at a loss for words that there is that kind of money on the line and somehow a teenage kid is deciding that isn't enough. Essentially you have just been asked if you'd like to win the lottery today and you have turned that down. Most people dream of that kind of money, you've decided it's not worth it, or not enough. Think about that for a moment.
I can't imagine that this decision comes solely from the player himself, so perhaps I'm being a little hard on you Tyler. Maybe this vitriol should be directed at your braindead agent? An overbearing father?
I honestly hope this backfires on you. Maybe then you'll learn a life lesson. Have fun at Vanderbilt.
Good day sir.

Techologies Used
We no longer maintain the Knowledge Base since version 4.3.x. All the latest user and developer documentation for 4.3.x and newer versions is now available at docs.cs-cart.com.
- This article applies to CS-Cart versions:
- 3.0.x
Working on CS-Cart we tried to use the technologies that are reliable and proven. We also wanted CS-Cart to be easily customizable, so the technologies behind it must be well-documented and generally popular. We found that the perfect choice here is the classic approach, which is LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP).
CS-Cart follows the general MVC (Model-View-Controller) approach.
Data model is stored directly in the database. The database engine used is MySQL, so the program components get data from the model using the MySQL SQL-query language with the help of placeholders. Example:
1 2 3 4 5
$data = array ( 'payment_id' => 5 ); $order_id = 3; db_query('UPDATE ?:orders SET ?u WHERE order_id = ?i', $data, $order_id);
Controllers are written in PHP. Generally all CS-Cart controllers are placed in the controllers directory, although add-ons can define their own controllers to be put in the respective add-on folders.
Data is presented to the user by views. CS-Cart uses Smarty template engine and JavaScripting to represent data. An example of a Smarty template with some JavaScript code embedded in it:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33
{** block-description:my_twitter_addon **} <script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script> <script> new TWTR.Widget({ldelim} version: 2, type: 'profile', rpp: {$addons.my_twitter_addon.number_of_tweets}, interval: 6000, width: 'auto', height: 300, theme: {ldelim} shell: {ldelim} background: '#FFFFFF', color: '#373737' {rdelim}, tweets: {ldelim} background: '#D9EFF3', color: '#373737', links: '#005865' {rdelim} {rdelim}, features: {ldelim} scrollbar: true, loop: true, live: true, hashtags: true, timestamp: true, avatars: true, behavior: 'default' {rdelim} {rdelim}).render().setUser('{$addons.my_twitter_addon.username}').start(); </script>
MySQL is the most popular relational database management system used across the Web nowadays. CS-Cart uses MySQL, because it's a high-performance and yet highly user-friendly software. MySQL queries are used directly inside CS-Cart controllers (with the help of placeholders), so one needs to know the syntax at least on the basic level to successfully extend CS-Cart.
CS-Cart is written in PHP. It is now by far the most extensively used web-oriented programming language.
Instead of using raw HTML CS-Cart deals with Smarty templates. It gives more freedom in data representing and makes it possible to build complex structures using Smarty markup language.
Dynamic page content is made possible by the extensive use of AJAX and JavaScript.
