Going to this event has made me realise something very important: tap dancers are the happiest people on earth. Clearly whenever I've had a down day in the past it's been solely based off of the fact I don't do tap. My mistake. Credit to the Blue Angels team for getting such a great turn out. The lecture theatre was completely packed and the crowd seems really excited and responsive. Sure a lot of them would be friends of the dancers, but even so I was surprised so many people showed up.
Right off the starting block there was a little bit of drama in the technical department. As the show progressed, the speakers give louder and louder feedback over the songs, slightly tarnishing the obviously heavily practised dances as both the audience and the dancers themselves get distracted. Mid-way through the show, the tech (I'm not convinced they had any idea what they were doing) put on three consecutive wrong songs. In the end, the Accidentals were sent out as a distraction.
Technical issues aside, however, the show was a complete success. The dance teams are all so dedicated that it was hard not to be impressed, and with newcomers and old members alike the show really was astounding. The relatively new hip-hop team added an edgy flair to the event, while the addition of tap and ballet to the show kept the audience on their toes.
One minor issue I did have was that there was no announcement of who was actually dancing – while I recognised members of the groups it was unclear until about midway whether they were the advanced team or beginners. Another problem was that the dancing seemed to go on for absolutely ages; some people were in so many dances that you could tell by the end they were fading.
The Accidentals made for a nice break in the rather long-winded dance schedule, although they did not offer many new numbers to the audience. The only new song I was able to recognise was 'Mary, Did You Know?', their Christmas carol. While I remain intrigued to see a new set with new members, I didn't find this particular performance to be of note.
In short, the dance show was impressive and entertaining. While it could have been a little shorter at times, it was clear to see just how dedicated all the members are. All we can do now is wish them good luck at their next competition, which is just around the corner.

Ukeleles and good coffee? You may never have put the two together, but this below-the-radar spot in Little Tokyo will make you realize the genius of the combination.
Located in the Japanese American Cultural Community Center, U-Space arrived with no fanfare, no promotion, and has only 7 Yelp reviews after half a year in business. Even if you eat in Little Tokyo regularly, you may not even know this building, which faces a large interior plaza used for big events. There is a hidden gem on the side of the building in the form of the James Irvine Japanese Garden, which is free and open to the public.
Entering the JACCC, to the left is the spacious U-Space. They serve coffee from a funny mobile cart inside. There are a bunch of tables and couches to sit at, which the area's elderly do for long stretches. This is not a hipster cafe yet.
There is a rack of ukeleles for sale, along with t-shirts and percussion instruments. Everything the aspiring ukelele professional would want. Jason gives lessons to newcomers and the experienced. This is the focus of the shop, so you might think the coffee would be terrible. But hey! The coffee is actually pretty good!
The coffee is brought in from Beacon Coffee in Ventura, which is by a guy who used to be the coffee buyer for Whole Foods. The coffee is good, I'd say a third-wave coffee of medium roast, emphasizing earthy flavors over fruit. It's also ridiculously cheap, with a small pourover for $2. They do pourovers on a Chemex, using the metal filter Able Kone. They'll also pull an espresso for you.
Jason and his crew are super nice, incredibly laid back, as you'd expect from a bunch of ukelele professionals. And it's a nice place to sit and sip your coffee and read a book, listening to gentle ukelele music.

WHITESBORO — When volunteer firefighter Brian McQueen was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma in 2013, he learned a hard truth: Cancer is an epidemic among firefighters.
His way of dealing with that fact was to create a way to help other firefighters facing a cancer diagnosis by creating the organization Believe 271 Foundation in 2014.
To date, the organization has assisted 63 firefighters. In addition, McQueen developed a two-hour Cancer in the Fire Service training and awareness program that he conducts throughout New York and nationally.
With that program, McQueen has educated more than 6,270 firefighters and their families from across the country.
The Whitesboro native's mission is to get the message of occupational cancer out to as many families as possible, and he embeds his educational philosophy on occupational cancer throughout his training opportunities.
His efforts to help others has been recognized this year by the National Volunteer Fire Council, which awarded McQueen — who is a New York director for the council — with the James P. Seavey Sr. Health and Wellness Leadership Award.
The Notre Dame graduate taught for 19 years at Oriskany Elementary School, where he also coached basketball, football and softball. He then moved on to hold several administrative positions in the Whitesboro Central School District.
Today, McQueen is a member of the Whitesboro Board of Education, a 41-year member of the fire department and coaches Utica College football and girls basketball at Notre Dame.
How did 271Believe come to be and what does the organization do?
Believe 271 Foundation Inc. was named from my deputy fire coordinator's (car 271) number, a position I held proudly while coming down with cancer. I had to go to NYC and obtain my treatments at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. It was six weeks of my life that I will never forget. Thanks to my supporting family, my school staff and my fire department and my friends, they made the treatments so much Easier. But Chief Brian Healey, Chief Brian Palmer and Chief Brian DeStefanis wanted to help. They thought selling 350 helmet decals could help defray the cost. Actually they are over 5,000 decals. But, I told them I would be fine and to take this initiative and money made, and help those firefighters in the future that would be afflicted with cancer. My doctor in NYC confirmed that my diagnosis was attributed to my job as a volunteer firefighter.
Why is it important to you to offer help to other firefighters in the community?
Up until Jan. 1 of this year, volunteer firefighters had no monetary support for their cancer diagnosis from their service to their community. We have a bill now that helps. It's not perfect as it is the responsibility of each community or fire district to assist in the payment. I firmly believe that NYS can acquire some funding for this coverage as is being done in other states. But, at least we have something. ... I lost some great firefighter friends at a young age due to cancer: Rob Conklin, Rob Urtz, Anthony Pagliaro, Chief Jim Seavey Sr. and right now Chief Wayne Smoulcey is battling this horrible disease.
How do you hope you can impact the future for other volunteer firefighters?
I want to continue to spread the word and information in the Lavender Ribbon Report: a Report on Firefighter Cancer and it's Best Practices, that I helped co-author.

text: Gun: HK USP Compact .357 Sig Ammo: Speer Lawman TMJ Range: Red's Indoor - South Distance: 7 Yards This is really the first time I've gone out and actually tried to shoot accurately with pistols. I was putting about 2 - 3 seconds before shots, focal point on the front sight. I wasn't paying too much attention to elevation of the rear sight, but more on trigger control. I shot a tighter group later, but I let a few people shoot the target to try out the gun. This was the first target of the day. I'm open to ideas. I was shooting with arms completely extended, square to the target, and trying a new grip that aligned the gun with my forearm. Basically I replicated what Todd Jarrett taught in a video. At first it felt awkward, but soon felt much better. I'm open to ideas / criticism.

What do you mean you don't know how to use it?
What kind of issue are you having?
Really nice bot, both the poker and the card counter work great. I haven't found one problem yet. +1 ;D
This is a great calculator, literally is INSTANT. I love having V.I.P<3, Best decision I made in a long time lol.
4 days and no video?
Works really well, thanks! :3
Yes, he had triples, yet the bot showed 57% ish instead of 100%.
This is because he had 1 J in his hand and two on the table, which doesn't count as trips when you are doing math.
Triples is only when you have pockets and hit a third on the table.
Same goes for all the other calculations, the odds shown are always using both of your cards.
When you think about it since someone else could have the same triples but a higher kicker.
I'm mainly a web developer but I started learning C# in December so that I could make Rumble Aid.
After that was grabbie (still unreleased), and then this multipack thing, COF.
So honestly all my programming knowledge is in web interfacing but I do dabble in a little of everything.

Welcome to The Strike Diamond Corp. Hub On AGORACOM
Click "Edit Fast Facts"
Strike Diamond Corp. is focused on the Sask Craton property located at the core of the Pikoo diamond district.
Our Sask Craton project represents the largest mineral tenure position of any public company exploring in the Pikoo diamond camp and covers in excess of one million acres. Importantly, much of our work has focused up-ice of identified but unsourced kimberlite indicator trains.
In addition to its scale, the Sask Craton property is advantageously positioned up-ice from a number of un-sourced kimberlite indicator trains identified by our Pikoo exploration neighbors to the south, including North Arrow Minerals Inc. and Alto Ventures Ltd.
During the fall of 2014, Strike Diamond Corp. conducted an extensive till sampling program and favorable laboratory results from that sampling program were released in March 2015. A map of Strike Diamond Corp.'s regional till sampling locations may be accessed by clicking here. In addition to those till sample locations disclosed in the till sample map, Strike Diamond Corp. also conducted till sampling at certain regional targets the locations of which remain confidential.
The company has a published a detailed 43-101 report on the Sask Craton property, which may be accessed by clicking here.
Till sampling in the Pikoo diamond district has proven highly effective at identifying diamoniferous kimberlite bodies. For an demonstration of how a kimberlite forms and generates kimberlite indicator minerals, we recommend viewing the Stornoway Diamond Corp. Kimberlite Presentation which can be accessed by clicking here.
During 2015, Strike Diamond Corp. intends to conduct further exploration on the Sask Craton property, including a large regional magnetic survey. The purpose of this work will be to identify potential kimberlite targets for future drilling.
Strike Diamond Corp. holds an 80% working interest interest in the Sask Craton - one of the highest working interests of any public company having a Pikoo exploration project! The balance of the project is retained by the three original property vendors who collectively hold the remainder as a carried interest (not including mine construction or operating costs) alongside a three percent royalty.
Strike Diamond Corp. has acquired several 100% owned exploration projects in the emerging Garland exploration district, which is an area being explored for nickel-cobalt-PGM prospects.
These new projects are located in an established nickel-cobalt-PGM producing region and are less than 25-40km SE of the Voisey's Bay mine depending on the project. The Voisey's Bay deposit was discovered by Diamond Fields Resources Corp., which had originally been exploring the area as prospective for diamondiferous kimberlites. Inco acquired Diamond Fields in a storied $4.3 billion takeover bid in 1996. Since that time, the area in and around the Voisey's Bay deposit has seen intermittent exploration.
In 2015, drill plans by Equitas Resources Corp ("Equitas") ignited new market interest in the region. The Garland I and II projects are contiguous with the Garland project now being explored by Equitas and Strike Diamond's projects are less than 40km SE of the Voisey's Bay mine.
In addition, Garland III covers a round-lake measuring approximately 250m by 250m, located roughly 2km SE of the Equitas project.
Combined, the Garland I, II and III projects, held respectively by License 023384M, License 023385M , and License 023386M, as granted by the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador, consists of 38 claim parcels, providing Strike Diamond with more than 2,300 acres of ground in the area.
Map of the Garland I, II, & III Projects
The Garland I, II and III projects were acquired by Strike Diamond after successful staking applications and no cash or share payments are owed to any third-parties. All three projects are entirely royalty-free.

{He created the heavens without pillars that you see and has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with you, and dispersed therein from every creature. And We sent down rain from the sky and made grow therein [plants] of every noble kind.} (Surat Luqmān 31:10).
Mountains are land formations that are useful for people in many ways including forestry, logging, rainfalls, glaciers, rivers, lakes, ponds, tourism, recreation, mountaineering, camping, hiking, skiing, mining and even strategic tactical protection.
Earth's tallest mountain is Everest at 8,848 m. However, Mount Olympus on Mars holds the record of the tallest mountain in the entire Solar System known to Man (21,171 m).
Interestingly, mountains cover 1/5 of Planet Earth's terrestrial surface, and occur in 75% of the world's countries.
Beside the numerous benefits we get from mountains, they can still pose many challenges. For example, mountainous terrain requires more difficult engineering and higher costs to plant infrastructure than on plain ground. The southern European country of Andorra is the sole country in the world which doesn't have airports, and the reason is that the country's entire terrain is mountainous, making it unable to receive landings.
Satellites also find it more difficult to peer into mountains than regular crust. Mountains are generally not suitable habitat for agriculture. Higher elevation also witness less protection against Ultra Violet rays and harmful solar radiations, not to mention lower levels of oxygen which, at such altitudes, could cause Acute Mountain Sickness Hypoxia.

India on a hot tin roof as both US and China lay terms for Huawei's entry into 5G trials
It's not the best time for diplomacy with China following the reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir and the declaration of Ladakh as a Union Territory. It is the latter that has riled our eastern neighbour as it immediately changes the dynamic on Aksai Chin. China has so far argued that its claim there is contingent on the final resolution of Kashmir. Now that it is part of the UT of Ladakh and cannot figure as an adjunct of the old State, China is refusing to accept it and upping the ante. However, if observers are to be believed, it is show-boating its anger by dilly dallying on visas for Mansarovar yatris while working on Premier Xi Jinping's informal visit to India. It is also staying away from making sweeping statements on the abrogation of Article 370, asking both India and Pakistan to exercise restraint. Trade is its bigger concern. So its threat to block Indian firms operating on its soil, if we stop Huawei Technologies from doing business here and participating in 5G trials under US pressure, is serious.
India is in a bit of a cleft stick here as Huawei is the pivot of a geo-political slugfest between China and the US. The Donald Trump administration put the company on a blacklist in May, citing national security concerns. It has asked its allies not to use Huawei equipment, which it says China could exploit for spying. Given Trump's transactional nature of dealing and knowing that India needs his support in the background of tectonic administrative changes in Modi 2.0, we are in quite a pickle about accommodating Chinese interests without upsetting the US and risking trade-protectionist hitbacks there too. And now that Chinese officials have threatened "reverse sanctions," India must frame a reasonable response. Besides, Huawei has already operated in India before, so denying it fair trial now would be inimical. A potential conflict over Huawei can end up inflaming emotions and jeopardising the long-standing territorial status quo. At the same time, India desperately needs to address a $53 billion trade deficit during Xi's visit and can ill-afford trust issues at this point. A high-level group of officials, which has been looking into whether to open the 5G trials, has so far found no evidence to suggest Huawei has used "back-door" programmes or malware to collect data in its current operations here. On the face of it, one can't reject Huawei simply because it is Chinese. After all, it has 20 per cent patents, 50 per cent market share and is cost-effective. But what the government can do indeed is to get wireless carriers who will be rolling out 5G services to use India-made software. And then drive equipment supplied by gear makers. We cannot overlook security concerns either but considering Huawei entry is conditional for Chinese looking the other way in matters diplomatic, we have to step our way around it.

February 28, 2013 / Featured Vendor
Taylor Stonehocker / February Featured Vendor
Yikes! February almost got away from me!
Taylor Stonehocker is our featured vendor this month. She is an incredible florist! She created the lovely bouquets and centerpieces for the wedding of Julia & Jim.
She currently works for another florist and takes on freelance jobs, but would someday like to have her own shop. She studied Horticulture (with a focus in floral design) at Brigham Young and graduated in 2011. She recently moved to Minneapolis with her husband so he could attend graduate school, so she is still discovering all of the amazing things that Minnesota has to offer. Yes, I'm a little biased!
Her favorite flower is the passion flower, from the passion fruit plant. Her dream is to use these flowers somehow in a wedding, but she says that it would be difficult and time consuming since they are viny.
Tips for Brides!
Taylor suggests really doing your research when deciding on your florist and your bouquet. Look at the florist's photos online before going in and try to figure out what flowers you would like to have in your bouquet. She also strongly encourages creativity! She says not to be afraid to try something unique! And she's is a big fan of Pinterest!
A few fun things about Taylor:
She grew up in the South, Texas and North Carolina, and she played the clarinet in marching band. She enjoys reading classic books like Sherlock Holmes and The Count of Monte Cristo. And she would love to be able to work with Preston Bailey, a pretty fancy florist!
The big trends in bouquets that she has seen recently are:
Peacock Feathers
Broach Bouquets
Calla Lilies
The most commonly used flowers are roses and lilies. She encourages people to try for different colored roses beyond the usual red, white or pink. There are so many different varieties, she said there is even a rainbow rose! These sound very tedious to create!
I'm really excited to see where Taylor goes with her talent and I would love to work with her again! To view more of her work please visit:
those flowers are GORGEOUS!

Notifying management of a issue and helping supervisors with challenging scenarios, particularly during peak phases of business, certainly are part of the task. Charged using a multitude of duties, night-club managers should have the ability to multitask. At a foods canteen, for example, the supervisor can help to make sure that the canteen is carried with sufficient supermarket items for preparing various meals. The shift manager ought to have the ability to remain professional and calm in difficult scenarios. Star bucks shift supervisors should have the ability to handle the work of many others and learn fast. Postal supervision takes a number of expertise. The work is relatively simple so long as you still might have the capacity to concentrate and maintain your eye receptive. If you should be ready for work afterward you are prepared to be always a leasehand. Variable shift work isn't unusual in many sectors and kinds of livelihood. If you determine from the shop staff a specific merchandiser has never been available in awhile, try and learn the corporation they benefit. The staff delivering housekeeping must furnish the very best in cleanliness. To take one example,, flooring staff can demonstrate computer software or the proper approach to apply a brand new field of makeup. You are on your schedule and also you aren't stuck in a machine all day. Flexible schedules allow it to be possible for staff to select the hrs of their afternoon they desire to perform, for as long as they complete their work along with work the compulsory hrs. Variable job programs often offer the advantage of higher wages, but often include an amount label, for example health difficulties. If a worker is laid away temporarily, often times their company will not need them to seek out one more job. He is really shocked and distraught which he or she has trouble recalling the details of everything has been mentioned for the remaining portion of the assembly. The company need not to enter the particulars of both the former employees individual and professional traits. It as like whenever you're writing a resume to work. Before you take work, request the recruiter if you can find any alterations to the program to anticipate within the foreseeable future. Therefore when you dedicate to your first career, start looking for distinct chances in the very same way you will be traveling. Housekeeping job in clinic is now a sector at which you are ready to quickly get work with no expertise. It will be possible to create their task a bit more demanding which they hate. And so, if you're not desperate for almost any occupation that really pays you money, you simply require slightly more income monthly, or you don't really want the income, a project to get a job may perhaps not be best for you. When you get started, you're likely to be more enticed to carry actions willy-nilly whenever they truly are given to you, no matter where they are observed, however you'll work better in the event which you select a region and stay with it, that way you will be able to knock multiple visits each day which you do the job. The perfect means to receive a healthcare facility treatment occupation is to generate lots of duplicates of one's resume and also make your interest at the work understood.
In the event you will find it rather challenging to compose an intent on your own, search for aid from the buddy or a person who's much better than you in writing or expressing what you'd love to express. An Objective is what sort of job which you are interested in. It really is critical to be more specific and perhaps not succumb a lot beyond the right targets, acquiring done you are certain to possess won the task. The purpose ought to most likely become considered a paragraph of 3 paragraphs, and the specific first sentence has to be at a position to interpret your own competencies. You livelihood objective speaks a wonderful deal regarding your own skills and parts of attention. Examine the work description and also concentrate on the skills it requests for. Administration skills for new professionals in addition to adhering to this tips, is very important to come across the desired effects. The data you have learned and attained during life adventures alone can cause you to be a asset to your certain business or organization. Training experience is advised, but it really is perhaps not always demanded. You have to equip your self with wisdom about the business, the organizations you want to do the job to get and also know everything they truly are looking for. It's thus vital that you realize the sort of abilities that have to get recorded on a resume and so the record becomes a complete 1. It is important to emphasize your personal expertise in a lifetime career goal. As you can find many folks searching for occupations, it's critical to get yours stand out and some others. Locating a job during mid age doesn't have to become filled with self-doubt as well as stress. The exact last thing on your project resume needs to become your own education. The job of a social worker is only one of many absolute most noble careers that we've. Whenever you go away job, it is essential to get a recommendation letter from the current employer, to show to a next employer. It isn't extremely hard to track down a new job having a gaping gap on the restart, however it's a probable hurdle you are getting to get to cross. If you should be crystal clear about exactly where you intend to work like a social worker, then it is likely to incorporate just the same in your job objective. A satisfied employee will be more prone to stay at a job longer. Employers want to employ somebody who's self motivated, some body who likes to remain busy. They are not just looking in the abilities or knowledge, they're attempting to judge personalities, imagination plus a multitude of other personal attributes to see which candidates are the optimal/optimally fit to these associations. It truly is essential, for both you and also the company, that you are a excellent fit. Prospective companies always hunt for evidence affirming the resume and personalized meeting, as a way to establish that the trustworthiness of the future employee. Do state that you're searching for parttime or right after school job if that's your principal aim, or so the employer does not assume you are on the lookout for a shift that struggles with your classes. A lot of not all technical interviews will offer you a specific difficulty to repair. Lastly, preferably, attempt to get the basic principles of this skill in the event that you're invited in for a meeting. To get a person who has a do the job interview, the hardest part is finding out how alist of favorable descriptive words that most describe their own particular personality.
Your resume tells a story about you, this means you have to attempt to discern what narrative the job opening is attempting to tell as well, and after that match so. Next, adapt your resume to cater right to the work that you desire. On the reverse side, if you're requesting for employment for a cafe supervisor, then you might be better satisfied to talk about your earlier comprehension inside the restaurant industry at the summit of one's own resume. Your leadership skills are so certain to turn heads. Very great writing capabilities can assist your livelihood. Your ability to have the job of your dreams could hinge on the caliber of this exact first communicating with a future company. The capacity to exhibit logical thinking so regarding gather and analyze quite a few of information will be the absolute prerequisite in the fund area. Confidence stipulates a foundation for stride in nearly each part of financing. In the event you're feeling like you lack confidence and leadership, be sure that you attend an on-line study course at Coursera and find out to get charge. By including a particular title, you place yourself at risk of throwing them off and diminishing your chances to be offered an alternate role. Give consideration initially to this experience you have. Rather than receiving the expertise and knowledge because it is going to seem good on your resume, gain the experience and processes because you'd love to, even as you believe that it's definitely going to help you grow like a human being and also in to a near future that you really anticipate to. There is nobody right method of exhibit your adventure. You understand you have to have experience as a way to acquire do the job, and also you've surely got to get work so as to gain expertise. You'd better assess and begin using a first-class internship encounter. Categories on sites like EdX enable you to know the fundamentals of analysis and statistics, although it may appear that the absolute most tough or irrelevant task in the whole world. It's simple to develop factors you can't ever end a degree whilst at the service but you owe it to yourself to find yourself a method to do it. You definitely don't want to selling price yourself out of a job opportunity, however you never desire to offer your self short . This means that you're on the market for 25 or so verbs. With its assistance, you also can make perhaps not merely professional resumes, but also in addition personal online portfolios and landing webpages. The company was acquired by AOL that's a big corporation also. As soon as your restart got detected, it's likely to be sent into the businesses who want to know more about the perfect candidatewho is you. Since it has grown into a very significant part of each business, take some opportunity to wait a number of marketing and promoting courses. If you're in possession of a Dual Degree in advertising and also Design kind a university that is renowned is way better. Desire to of your resume will be always to secure one of that the meeting. My approach is not the key coca cola method. No one could possibly be in your home, but that's the full time you certain don't need an pipe to burst. Your previous sales listing doesn't indicate that much.

A table. A chair. Even your favorite toy. What do these have in common? These are all things that may be crawling with bacteria. Did you know that bacteria can be found ANYWHERE, even on YOU? Bleh!
Did you know that this is picture displays just one of thousands of different types of bacteria that can be seen when bacteria is viewed under a microscope? Kind of strange, huh?
You are on a mission!
Try to make a list of 5 (five) things can that be found almost EVERYWHERE! Ready, Set, Go!
How hard was it to make a list of things that are found almost everywhere in our world? You may have said that air can be found everywhere, but did you know that bacteria (singular = "bacterium") and fungi (singular = "fungus") can be almost everywhere, too? Go ahead and touch your table, your chair, or even your favorite toy; all three of those have bacteria and fungi on them! Sounds gross, right? How can you tell if something has bacteria or fungi on it? Join Dr. Jo to find out how!
As you saw in the experiment, bacteria and fungi can be found almost everywhere, even in your own saliva! When Jo compared her saliva to Flo's, you saw that there were some bacteria and fungi in both sections of the petri dish. Bacteria and fungi like to grow in warm places and in colonies. That may sound a little gross at first, but can you think of other places that bacteria and fungi can grow on?

Couple on a Train
The couple in front of me has just met on the train. They are sitting on facing benches, her feet stretched out to rest on the seat beside him. They have been talking since I boarded the train, and who knows how long before that, and they have yet to exhaust the subject of Starcraft, its story, its characters, its levels, and most of all its techniques, comparing sequences of keystrokes that have been painstakingly ordered for maximum efficiency. He has taken out a notebook to read the more complicated series, the ones too long and complex for memory, and she follows with interest, takes notes into her phone. His last words as he exits the train are a promise to play her online.

When Trump came home, the bleacher coaches had a thousand and one opinions. The press expected victory overnight. But, the success of a diplomacy trip is not found in what happens during the trip, but what comes in the weeks and months—and years—after.
Too many loud voices don't know how to think long-term.
Artificial Intelligence has become a religion. Many might have guessed that with how many tech users and leaders idolize their own technology. But, it is becoming official. The attempt to create a computer smarter than humans—that seeks to obtain more civil liberties than humans—should be immediately regarded as an enemy of the state and the people.
While AI could be engineered to smartly serve the people, certain ventures seek to personify machines and revere them as sentient—a dark hope to make AI-oppressors of the sci fi movies become a dark reality. No one in right and wise mind would not call for an immediate dismantling of those projects that overtly seek to make humans lesser than the machines humans create.
Technological advances have not brought peace in America. No, America needs Jesus.

MNP careers are Different by Design. As an entrepreneurial firm, we truly believe there are no limits to where your career can go.
Recent reporting on the Isle of Man tax strategy has insinuated the CRA allowed a Big Four accounting firm and wealthy taxpayers off the hook with 'amnesty.' A negotiated settlement by the CRA, the accounting firm and the taxpayers would benefit all Canadians as the matter would be dealt with in a timely manner without causing significant delays or utilizing the resources of the court system. The publicity attached to this particular plan and the Panama papers audits will deter future tax cheats and thwart aggressive tax evasion.
However, it should be noted that paying the least amount of tax required is not cheating, nor is it tax evasion. The
Income Tax Act has mechanisms in place which allow individuals and businesses to lawfully defer tax and many Canadian taxpayers utilize these strategic planning tools.
The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue, delivered the
following statement to update Canadians on the important efforts and progress made by the Government of Canada to ensure a tax system that is fair and responsive for all Canadians.

Hoping for some advice please.
I have had a j pouch for over 6 years now with longterm pouchitis for the last 4. I'm currently non-medicated except for daily Vivomixx (VSL#3) as I'm due a scope in a couple of weeks as I recently tested very high for fecalcalprotectin levels (doc wants a clean, non medicated look at my pouch).
The problem that's concerning me currently is that I'm not feeling empty and something felt odd inside when I bore down. A quick investigation with a digit met with something stone like that moves down towards my anus as I bear down. It feels too large to be an undigested food item and I've not been swallowing animal bones. Obviously I know I need to contact my specialist but does anyone have any experience or insight on this?

In the month of March I explored shooting scenes in an aspect ratio of 2.39:1. This is known as the "cinematic frame" and tends to be a much wider format than most people think. I recently captured this night time shot of the Tivoli Fountain in Olympia in the cinematic frame.
I have more shots of the fountain, I have been wanting to shoot it at night for a long time but between some long term maintenance and what seems to be some odd scheduling surrounding the lighting, which I will go into in a future blog post featuring at least one image of the fountain, it has taken me quite a while to get a night shot of the fountain.
You can click here to see a couple of my other cinematic frame images as well as here for an abstract, daytime, shot that I captured at the fountain.

Who knew? According to a piece by Advertising Age's Ira Teinowitz, the omnibus spending bill signed yesterday by President Obama contains a provision for studying which foods are healthy and can be marketed to teens. The study will be conducted by "The Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to Children," which will be comprised of members of the Federal Trade Commission, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, and the Secretary of Agriculture. The Working Group is supposed to report back to Congress in 2010 with its findings and recommendations.
Let's stop for a second and imagine a world where junk food goes the way of the cigarette, and can no longer be advertised on TV, in youth magazines, in theatres showing movies with a rating lower than an R. Let's also think about how the Working Group will determine which foods are healthy and which foods are not–remember that back in 2003, the USDA determined that frozen french fries should be defined as a fresh vegetable. Depending on how it is prepared, almost any food can be made less healthy; slather an apple in caramel and peanut butter, and it's suddenly no good at keeping that doctor away.
I applaud measures that challenge advertisers to be responsible in their tactics, but such measures are not enough without the education to accompany it. Where is the U.S. Department of Education in all of this to determine the impact of junk food ads on young minds? Who is going to look at how unhealthy foods and beverages are marketed in public schools? You can censor, ban and regulate all you want, but that doesn't make junk food disappear, any more than it has made cigarettes go away. Education–in this case, specifically and especially media education–is the key for real and lasting change from within.

Anyone familiar with this column knows that I prefer the progressive vision over the conservative one. But I believe it's not possible for the nation to set a course without a vigorous, honest debate — and I know there can be no such contest of ideas without agreement on factual truth.
Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's speech Wednesday night was another demonstration that he and presidential nominee Mitt Romney have no apparent respect for the truth. Romney's pollster, Neil Newhouse, boasted this week that "we're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers." I'll say.
Ryan built his career on a reputation for wonkish immersion in the details and willingness to tell uncomfortable truths. But in his address to the convention he lied and dissembled so shamelessly that I thought I detected a whiff of desperation in the air. Or maybe it was just ambition.
The whopper with which those pesky fact-checkers are having a field day is Ryan's attempt to blame President Obama for the shutdown of a huge General Motors plant in Ryan's hometown of Janesville, Wis. Ryan's point of reference was a visit Obama made to the plant during the 2008 campaign.
"A lot of guys I went to high school with worked at that GM plant," Ryan said. "Right there at that plant, candidate Obama said: 'I believe that if our government is there to support you … this plant will be here for another hundred years.' That's what he said in 2008. Well, as it turned out, that plant didn't last another year. It is locked up and empty to this day. And that's how it is in so many towns today, where the recovery that was promised is nowhere in sight."
In other words, Obama promised to help those workers by keeping the plant open but failed to deliver. This is a bald-faced lie.
As Glenn Kessler, author of The Washington Post's Fact-Checker column, has noted, Obama visited the Janesville plant in February of 2008. GM announced the plant's shutdown in June 2008 — five months before Obama was elected and seven months before he took office. Ryan should be blaming George W. Bush, not Barack Obama.
And technically, the plant isn't even closed. It's on "standby," according to GM, and can be reactivated if the demand for production rises sufficiently.
Ryan was careful with his words. He didn't specify who was president when the plant was ordered to cease production. He described it as "locked up and empty," rather than "closed." But by any reasonable standard, Ryan was being deceptive. He wanted his listeners to believe something that simply is not true.
Another supremely dishonest moment was Ryan's criticism of how Obama dealt with the Simpson-Bowles debt panel: "He created a bipartisan debt commission. They came back with an urgent report. He thanked them, sent them on their way, and then did exactly nothing."

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. - - Hat tricks from Sara LeBrun and Gabby Spalt were not enough for the Wilmington University women's lacrosse team as Shepherd took a 24-9 decision at Ram Stadium on Thursday afternoon.
The Wildcats (0-3) received four goals from LeBrun and three goals from Spalt, but the Rams (1-4) scored 11 straight goals midway through the first half to seize control of the game.
LeBrun tied the game with a goal from Megan Card, 1-1, with 27:22 left in the half, but cutting the deficit to 3-2 with a goal from Spalt with 26:06 showing on the clock. But the Rams scored the next 11 goals of the half, jumping out to a 14-2 lead with 10:50 left to play in the first half.
LeBrun ended the drought with her third goal of the game with 8:23 to play and Spalt scored her first of the game on a free position shot with cap the scoring in the half and bring the Wildcats to within 15-4 going into the break.
The senior tallied her fourth goal of the game to start the second half, but the Rams retaliated with three straight to regain control and open an 18-5 lead with 20:11 left in regulation.
The Wildcats scored three of the next five goals in the game, with La'Dae Boykin getting on the board with her first goal of the game with 17:14 showing on the clock. Spalt added the next two goals to earn her first hat trick of the season. But the 20-8 deficit would be as close as the Wildcats would get, as the Rams scored three straight goals once again to open a 23-8 lead.
LeBrun finished with five points by adding an assist while Spalt also added an assist for four points. Boykin scored twice for two points while also leading the team with four draw controls. Card recorded a pair of assists while Christina Ziegler also got on the board with an assist and two draw controls.
Freshman goalkeeper Maddie Hurm faced 26 shots and made two saves while the Ram's Savannah Shores recorded three saves for the win.
The Wildcats have a quick turnaround for their next contest, as they head to West Virginia Wesleyan on Friday to complete their West Virginia trip. The opening draw is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

Farmer's Market 6-8-19
May have a little rain today but it hopefully it won't discourage people from coming out and supporting their local farmers. Rain has been in the news quite a bit lately. I heard one young farmer interviewed on NPR who said she doubted they would get a crop in this year. She farms with her father in Arkansas and the the fields are not going to dry out enough for them to put in their corn and soybeans. Her father has farmed this land for fifty years.
The rain is keeping us from getting crops in too. You see the ground has to be dry enough to work with tillage tools. Then it must sit there for a few weeks for the soil biology to do its trick of breaking down the raw materials. Then it has to be dry enough to prepare a seed bed. Then it has to be dry enough to plant. This can easily put a farmer behind six to eight weeks. And, all this rain can have a negative effect on plants already in the ground as the ground becomes waterlogged and disease takes advantage of the wet conditions to attack the plants.
But, we work through this and eventually everything seems to work out . Usually. It's nice that we have crops we can grow in succession that don't have to have one window of opportunity like the commodity crops that Arkansas farmer grows.
We will probably have asparagus for the last time today. Also have some very nice lettuce. We are happy to have Jeremy back working for us. He started this week and got more accomplished in two days than I can in two weeks. It's nice to be young.
Please come see us today. We enjoy your company even if we don't have something that you need today.

If you've not heard elsewhere, one of the biggest names in CCM suffered a great loss today. Steven Curtis Chapman's youngest daughter, Maria, was struck and killed by a car in the family's driveway this afternoon (read more here). Please, pray for them.
Chapman's music has been around me much of my life, and his championing of adoption has meant a lot to me (my brother and other friends have adopted). For his family to have worked so hard to bring Maria to their home, and then to lose her shortly after her preschool graduation must be terribly hard. And, for me and Mrs. E, this kind of accident is one of our greatest fears. Pray for their family and for the friends around them to give them God's strength.
UPDATE: There are a few more details on Steven Curtis Chapman's website and notes of condolence can be left here.

This wrecked me when I read it. I can't imagine losing a child, my kids just lost a good friend in an auto accident Apr. 6. He had only been driving for a few months and lost control of his car. As the mom of two teenage boys that have only been driving for a short time, it tears me up even more every time I think of their teenage son. I have been praying for their family all morning and will continue to do so.

I think that most of us can relate in some way to them through the losses in our own family or those of friends. While we all feel somewhat awkward in expressing our sympathy at a time like this, I believe it important to do so; most especially in a way that will lift up the family. Prayer, love, a shoulder to cry on for those close to them - these are all important. I pray that they receive much more than simple words and platitudes from those closest to them. I had a friend a few years ago, a minister at our church, whose son died a few days after birth. Everyone felt they had to say something - he was one of our ministers, after all. I had lunch with him a couple of months later and he shared with me that he was about ready to deck the next person who told them that "God has a plan". Yes, he knew this; but having people express themselves so shallowly was belittling to him while he wrestled with God over this very subject.
Not knowing the family personally, the best for me to do is pray for them to find peace in God. Most especially for their son - his burden must be heavy to bear, and I pray that he does not break under it, nor is it used against him by others.
As a father, I've had the chorus for his "Dance With Cinderella" running through my head all day. Thinking of my own little girl, less than a month younger than Maria, I just want to hold her close.

When thinking of visiting a gourmet seafood restaurant, what comes to mind for most people is a hearty dinner, but why limit your waterfront dining experience to just the evenings? Our lunch menu offers some perfect options for a nice midday meal, including some lighter dishes for those on the go that need to get back to work. A good lunch is as important as a good breakfast or dinner, but oftentimes it gets relegated to fast food or skipped altogether. At Billy's, we offer that same high-end dining experience during the day to make sure the true seafood lovers can have that well-deserved and much-needed lunch.
As one would expect, our takes on the traditional lunchtime offerings of "soup, salad, and sandwich," all involve healthy portions of seafood. To offset our creamy New England Clam or Key West Conch chowders, you could try one of our Sesame Seared Tuna Salads or Shrimp Caesar Salads. Or you could choose to just go all out and get the Combination Seafood Salad, topped with Jumbo Shrimp, Crabmeat, and half of a Florida Lobster Tail! As far as sandwiches, we do carry traditional American fare (our Sirloin Hamburger and Chicken Breast Sandwich are excellent), but we know why you came here. Try a Black Grouper or a Snapper Sandwich, or one of our Reuben Sandwiches prepared with fresh Florida Lobster, Scallops, or Billy's Fish of the Day. For a full meal, add a potato or vegetable side dish, but be forewarned: they are usually big enough for two people.
For those looking for a quick bite, we have lunch baskets that come with a salad or fries and coleslaw. From Yellowtail Snapper to Fried Clams to Chicken Tenders or even Florida Alligator, there are enough options to satisfy whatever you happen to have a taste for at the time. This holds true for the rest of our lunch menu, as you're able to go as familiar or as fancy as you like: try some Buffalo Chicken Wings with Onion Rings, or have some Stuffed Mushroom Caps and an order of Escargot.
During the middle of the day, it can get really hot down here in Florida, and sometimes people don't want to have a warm meal, even sitting inside with air conditioning. Fear not. Some of our best lunch menu items are served cold, including our namesake: Stone Crabs. Florida Stone Crabs are most definitely available during the day for those who simply can't wait for dinner, as is our Peruvian inspired Ceviche. Our Oysters and Clams are served chilled on the half shell, or you could try a Shrimp or Crabmeat cocktail with a glass of ice water as you cool down from the Florida sun.
So whether you're taking a break from your workday and just need a quick bite, trying to beat the heat, or simply in the mood for enjoying some of Florida's tastiest seafood before the evening comes, Billy's has got you covered. For some ideas on side dish or drink pairings to make the flavor of your next lunch pop, check out some of the previous blog posts.

The time is now. Be proud of who you are, be proud of your friends and family, and be proud of our LGBTQ community. The hate-filled tragedy in Orlando will not soon be forgotten, but as we continue to celebrate PRIDE events around the country, we carry the loving memory of the victims as we move forward. Today and Sunday, it's the Springs' turn to celebrate, with the 26th anniversary of Colorado Springs PrideFest at America the Beautiful Park. It's been an emotional year for the community, both joyful and tragic — marriage rights, the transgender bathroom saga, hate crimes and more — so blow off some steam with live music, food vendors and more fun for the entire family. Be loud, be proud, don your rainbow colors and let the love shine. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., 126 Cimino Drive, $2 to attend, coloradospringspridefest.com. — Craig Lemley

WHY? The reasons for having a board are varied and include:
Strategy – independent views / voices can challenge and improve strategic decision making with other perspectives, plus help guide your business
Expertise – bring in others who know the industry, or a provide skill that is missing or needs oversight
Succession Plan – you may want to move on to another business or retire; thinking about in advance who is going to take over is important
Innovation – outsiders can foster modernization, improvement
Governance – a formal board process will ensure a company is properly managed
Credibility – quality names will add to the integrity to your company
WHEN should my business get a board?
Establishing a board isn't necessary for all entrepreneurial ventures; venture-backed companies routinely start out with a board from day 1, and privately held companies, those that bootstrap their way to success, may be small enough to navigate day-to-day operational issues without one.
There are a few scenarios where creating a board not only makes sense but can be a critical part of growing the business to the next level.
Contemplating big moves – businesses that have significant growth opportunities or face significant threats or decisions can find a board very helpful.
CEO or owner decides to step down – a board can be instrumental in finding a new CEO, supporting his or her transition, and holding the person accountable to the owner's objectives.
Next generation succession – a board can help with the leader's plan to bring his/her children into the business, a handover that he/she may find difficult can be eased with a board composed of parents, adult children, and advisers who discuss business issues and make decisions together.
For many entrepreneurs who have become successful doing things their own way, the formality of board meetings, can be off-putting. But that doesn't have to be the case.
WHAT type of board is the best one for your business?
First, figure out what kind of board you want. There are a range of board types to consider, each appropriate for different situations.
A board of insiders – composed of shareholders and company executives who come together to make decisions on key issues related to the business. This type of board can be appropriate for closely held businesses that are not necessarily facing major issues, but want to lay the foundation for the future by taking some of the first steps toward more formal governance.
A board of insiders can also be an effective way to involve the next generation of family owners in the process of making major decisions.
These types of boards are relatively easy to assemble, requiring little if any legal setup, and can be an effective forum in organizations that lack sufficient debate and interaction at the senior leadership level.
An advisory board – generally composed of a combination of insiders and outsiders, but they don't hold their positions on the board in an official capacity. Owners get the benefit of outside thinking and expertise, but in a less formal context.
Advisory boards work well for owners who are not ready to give up any control, but want advice and support on a range of issues. This can apply to businesses that have a relatively small ownership group that are facing major long-term strategic issues in which a consistent, outside perspective can be helpful.
A well-run advisory board is often more helpful than a formal board; it's easier to recruit great people, everyone is independent and you can structure meetings in whatever format makes most sense.
A fiduciary board with a minority of independents – has a formal role in the organization; the members have decision-making authority laid out in the corporate bylaws and are also subject to the liability associated with board membership. Keeping the number of outsiders, those unaffiliated with the company or the ownership group, in the minority keeps the decision-making firmly in the hands of insiders. This can be more comfortable for owners who want to maintain their authority while moving to more independent oversight.
Ownership groups that are considering major changes in their ownership structure, either by raising capital or selling a part of the business, may elect to form this kind of board to demonstrate a level of governance and oversight that will be important for outside investors.
A fiduciary board with a majority of independents – is what you see in most public companies and many large privately held companies. With a majority of outsiders, the board generally functions more objectively and independently than if it were dominated by insiders. While still acting on behalf of the owners, the board is more likely to drive the strategic agenda and have more authority.
These boards also typically can and need to attract members with a higher level of expertise and experience. Most privately held businesses that pursue this route have an ownership group that, for a variety of reasons, has decided to turn the majority of the key decisions over to a board. Perhaps the founders have sold their stakes in the company, ownership has passed on to a next generation of owners who don't know much about the business, or the owners are preparing to go public or pursue some other liquidity event.
HOW to proceed?
Once you've made the decision to form a board, how do you actually move forward?
- For a first-time board, you should aim for 5-9 members, to ensure a range of opinions but not so many that everyone will be fighting for airtime. Consider looking for people within your network to serve on your board before going to a search firm or recruiting more broadly.
- With regard to pay, you should expect to pay board members enough to make them feel appreciated, but not so much that they feel like they are doing it for the money. One useful rule of thumb some companies use is they compensate the board at a daily rate equal to the CEO's effective daily rate.
- Finally, no friends, customers, suppliers, or other connected individuals who are obviously underqualified or has a conflict of interest; they can compromise the effectiveness of the board. Everyone you choose for your board should be there because he or she has something to contribute and is willing to deliberate the issues carefully before, during, and after the meetings.
Once the board is up and running, here are a few guidelines to get the board off on the right foot.
- Make sure the board functions well as a team. It is as important to get a group who works well together as it is to get people with the right experience or expertise. Effective discussion and decision making requires good chemistry, so interview for personal fit and character as well as what is on the résumé.
- Give the new board members some breathing room to be effective. Initially, it can be tempting for you as the leader/owner to set the agenda, dominate the discussions, and focus only on what you are interested in. You need to make sure you are listening, especially early on. After all, you formed a board, presumably, to get support and guidance from others.
Consider going as far as giving the chairmanship or other important responsibilities to other members of the board to distribute the balance of authority.
- Define the board's authority clearly. Be clear about what decisions they can make and which ones they cannot. This will help focus the discussions on what they can affect and reduce confusion between the roles of the board, owners, and CEO.
- Finally, set the tone that every board member works on behalf of all It can be tempting for board members to align with one or a group of shareholders, especially if they were introduced to the board by said shareholders. For the board to stay focused on what is best for the company and thus the entire shareholder group, they should avoid pushing a particular shareholder's agenda.
To address your fear of somehow losing control by bringing in a board, it's important to make clear that the board reports to you (and your partners, if you have any) as the owners, not the other way around. This is generally documented in the corporate bylaws. You, as owner(s), will retain the ability to make the key decisions, including selecting board members, while delegating only the decisions you choose to the board.
Many owners look back at the founding of their board as a critical moment in the long-term success of their business and in their own success as owners stepping away from the business.
Understanding that boards can be designed to fit the unique needs of every business can ensure that you get the expertise and support you need without the unnecessary bureaucracy or any unintended loss of control.
If you consider why, the range of options for what type and how to build a board, you'll be far better positioned to know when you're ready for one.

Your Vision. Our Expertise.
Historic Elm Park
Worcester, MA
Elm Park in Worcester, MA is considered to be one of the first purchases of land for recreation purposes using public funds in the United States. In 1854, the land was purchased by the City of Worcester for the explicit purpose of creating a new "Public Common". Although considered by some as the oldest public park in the United States, other parks including Central Park in New York and Bushnell Park in Hartford, Connecticut were also being established around this time period. Despite some initial displeasure voiced by the citizens of Worcester for purchasing the tract using public funds, today Elm Park can be considered the crown jewel of Worcester's park system which consists of over 60 facilities located throughout the city. With elements of the park designed by the firm established by the renowned landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, it retains many of the pastoral features that have become synonymous with historic Olmsted designs.
Since 2011, Beals + Thomas has been providing services to the Parks, Recreation and Cemetery Division of the City's Department of Public Works and Parks related to renovations and improvements at Elm Park. Most recently, Beals + Thomas has been included in a unique partnership consisting of the City of Worcester's Parks, Recreation and Cemetery Division, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and students from the carpentry program at the Worcester Technical High School (WTHS). This collaboration has WPI preparing the design and WTHS constructing a replacement for the iconic Red Bridge that spans the narrow channel that connects the South Mere and Elm Mere. The Red Bridge, although having been reconstructed and replaced several times since its initial installation in 1877, has been a popular location for weddings and is considered by some to be the most photographed location in central Massachusetts. The new Red Bridge, once completed and installed, will be compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements correcting the previous steep grade that led to the bridge from both sides. Upon completion, the bridge will be named the Myra Hiatt Kraft Memorial Bridge, in honor of the late philanthropist and Worcester native.
Grant Square
Worcester, MA
Beals + Thomas assisted the City of Worcester to prepare construction documents for the renovation of Grant Square Park, an approximately 1.6-acre acre park in the Bell Hill neighborhood of Worcester, MA. Utilizing a previously prepared Master Plan, Beals + Thomas completed a detailed design and construction documents for the initial phase
of improvements.
Improvements to the park include a new terraced playground area, where the play equipment is separated by age group, a new basketball court, accessible parking, walking paths and site furnishings including picnic tables and benches.
Goodwill Park
Holliston, MA
The Goodwill Park playground is a 0.75-acre recreational reconstruction project that provides access for individuals of all ages and abilities. The reconstruction of Goodwill Park was made possible by the collaborative efforts of local organizations underthe direction of Mission Possible: Holliston, whose goal is to support the development, improvement and maintenance of recreational spaces in Holliston for current and future generations of all abilities.
The reconstructed playground incorporates a new parking area, accessible playground equipment, picnic areas, informal play areas, seating, and educational and sensory opportunities associated with multiple rain gardens and landscape materials. Project components included a topographic survey, tree inventory, design development, rain garden design and drainage calculations, construction documents, and construction support services. Renovation and reconstruction of the existing tennis courts and basketball court at Goodwill Park is currently underway and upon completion will have transformed this outdated facility into a state-of-the-art recreational destination.

BCS National Championship
We had a ball in Miami for the National Championship Game! And it was even more exciting when Bama WON!!! Roll Tide!
We arrived on Saturday around 12:00 and headed to South Beach. There was an Alabama Pep Rally going on. There were lots of Bama and Notre Dame fans all around.
We almost got to get a picture with Mark Ingram..too late :(.
Then we headed to the team hotel and watched Nick Saban's press conference.
The Alabama players were hanging out all around the hotel. I got my picture with Amari Cooper and John got his with Jesse Williams.
We ate at Char-Hut that night- my favorite! Then we headed to Joyce and Marty's house. The next day, we had breakfast with Joyce and Marty, then the guys headed to the stadium to get a tour. That evening we all went to the Miami Heat game!
On Monday morning, we had breakfast at Joyce and Marty's, then we went on an airboat ride through the Everglades! It was pretty cool! We saw a lot of gators!
