A55 works spark call for a crossing
TRAFFIC will increase when a trunk road is diverted through a village.
And that's why Llanddulas councillor Brenda Taylor has called for a pelican crossing on Abergele Road, to deal with speeding motorists and extra vehicles.
The North Wales Trunk Road Agency in conjunction with the Assembly, has organised resurfacing and associated works between Bodelwyddan and Abergele.
The works started on Monday and will be in place for nine weeks, with a break of two weeks over the Christmas period, and Cllr Taylor wants measures set-up as soon as possible.
"I've written to our Assembly member, Conwy's highways department and our MP, so we can get this sorted out," she said.
"We've needed a pelican crossing here for years, and this has just added to the problem.
"And it's not just the crossing, the black and white road markings on the wall near the Valentine pub are in need of a lick of paint, they look really tatty.
"People can't see that there's a bend there, especially in the dark."
The works comprise resurfacing the A55 dual carriageway and sliproads between Junction 24 at Abergele and east of Junction 25 at Bodelwyddan. They also include the upgrading of the vehicle safety fencing, upgrading of road signs and reconstruction of failed areas of the carriageway. The new surfacing will be a modern thin surface course and will provide the added benefit of lower traffic noise.
To provide satisfactory standards of road safety for the workforce and motorists during the lane closure periods a mandatory 40mph speed limit will be in place, which will be enforced by the Arrive Alive camera partnership.
But Cllr Taylor feels it's time Llanddulas was given the same treatment as these areas, especially when it comes to road safety.
"There's going to be a lot more traffic coming through the village, but these measures would alleviate a few problems, for now and the future."
The Weekly News contacted the Assembly but had no response at the time of going to press.
Up-to-date information on the A55 road conditions can be obtained on the website of Traffic Wales, www.traffic-wales.com or on the Traffic Information Travel Line 0845 6026020.

Weeks after rumours emerged that her boyfriend Zayn Malik had 'proposed' - and she'd turned him down
This Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik 'proposal' business is getting pretty damn confusing.
It was reported just before Christmas that Zayn, 24, had proposed – and that 21-year-old Gigi had turned him down.
But now Gigi's been spotted wandering around New York with a delicate band on THAT finger. Hmm.
See: Zayn Malik Hits Back At Those 'Proposal' Rumours With A Gigi Hadid Selfie
She actually seemed pretty happy to show the gold piece off, holding her arm out towards photographers as they snapped her photo.
So could she and Zayn actually be engaged?
Well, the couple came under speculation at the end of last year when Zayn allegedly asked the model to marry him.
See: Here's What's Gone Down With Gigi Hadid And Zayn Malik Since The 'Proposal'
However, a source told Life And Style: 'She's only 21 and doesn't feel ready to tie the knot, so she turned him down.
'She's seen her mum [Yolanda Foster] go through two messy divorces, so Gigi wants to make 100% sure Zayn's the one before she makes a lifetime commitment.'
We can totally understand this. Still, if true, it must have been a bit of a blow for Zayn.
It's only been three years since he proposed to his ex Perrie Edwards, with the former couple splitting in summer 2015. He started dating Gigi at the end of that year.
Latest Stories
But if Gigi did say no to Zayn, why the flippin' 'eck is there a chunk of bling on her ring finger?
The most likely explanation is that she just likes the jewellery, and hadn't thought of the implication of putting it on her left hand. But with the 'engagement' rumours still fresh, it's a little odd…
We guess we'll just have to wait and see how this one pans out.

New England Loft Cabin
4Ground 28mm American Legends Scenery
This 4Ground 28mm American Legends New England Loft Cabin scenery set contains one (1) Pre-Painted American Legends New England Loft Cabin terrain piece. Miniatures are shown for refernce and are not included.
This model with very accessible, fully detailed, interior makes an ideal objective or terrain piece for The French Indian Wars, The War Of Independence, The War Of 1812-15, the Civil War, Wild West and even early C20th Prohibition Bootleg Gangs.
As more settlers dwelled together in ever larger comminutes more businesses would set up around them, these business owners' were able to earn their livings supplying local wants and needs; before the setting up of a local saw mill to manufacturing sawn planks and clapboards almost all dwellings were made from felled and hewn logs. New English log cabins used large straight timbers for their horizontal 'Log On Log' construction with axe or adze hewn plank floorboards, often called "boarden floored", to walk on.
As the needs of a settler and his family grew so he had to make a larger home for them, often this first meant building an upper storey on top of his original sturdy 'log on log' cabin. This upper floor would be accessed by way of a simple loft ladder, leading to a boarden floored loft area, often well lit by simple rustic windows, and heated by the breast of the chimney.

There has been something simmering for a while now that I want to expose, demolish and redirect – right here and right now. Today, I am enraged and I do not apologise for those who are about to be swept up as I deal here with some very seriously messed up attempts at practicing critical analysis of race/racism and 'solidarity' in Australia. How people, many of whom I have worked alongside, could have gotten this so wrong, is amazing to me.
Earlier this year, Celeste Liddle (an amazing Arrente woman) had an article on why she prefers to be called Black published here.
Celeste was then set upon by three women who questioned her on her views and wanted to talk about her "light-skin privilege." Celeste explained multiple times that her piece was from the perspective of an Indigenous Australian and that she would never speak for or about non-Indigenous people of colour and skin colour in this way, as being discriminated on the basis of skin colour is not something she has experienced firsthand – rather she is talking about the political use and historical origins of the term Black for Indigenous Australians and her own oppression as a Black Australian.
Instead of understanding this point, the three set about arguing with Celeste and conflating the issue with broader questions of race – completely taking away the context of what happens here in Australia to Indigenous Australians.
In turn, Celeste decided to write a follow up piece explaining her point again so that people could more broadly understand the concepts of privilege over non-Indigenous people in Australia and Black identity as it relates to Indigenous Australians. Intentional or not, there is also a gentle rebuke in there for the likes of @angrytamilwoman and @jayani77 who sought to add fuel to the fire in a conversation that, frankly, should not involve them as non-Black people. The follow up article is here.
Unfortunately, the issue has now completely gotten out of hand. In a move that can only be described as a very serious comprehension issue, @guantai5 has written responses that continue to mistakenly call out Celeste for things that frankly, she didn't do, hasn't done and will not do due to her knowledge, experience and understanding of basic concepts around race, feminism and identity. And in a further move that can only be explained as collective comprehension problems, a whole bunch of Black women from migrant backgrounds have been re-tweeting, sharing and favouriting the responses – as well as writing passive aggressive tweets about not being able to call themselves Black – I'd love some evidence of where Celeste has actually said that, and more generally where any Aboriginal person has said that! My hunch tells me that this is just bandwagon-jumping and not any real understanding and comprehension of the issues here, as well as some serious inability to check privilege.
So let me take another stab at explaining this, since I'm sure Celeste and Blackfellas everywhere are tired of this keyboard warrior fight that has somehow become "Africans vs Aboriginals" (and, if you think about that point right there, that should tell you how ridiculous and shameful this whole situation is – you are fighting against Aboriginal people in their own country – seriously WTAF?!):
1. Black Australians are different from Black people of migrant background: When Australia was invaded by the British, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were considered Black – if we were considered people at all. We were historically (and continue to be) racially discriminated against and oppressed as Black People. Today, we continue to identify as Black, no matter what we look like. In this context, Indigenous Australians can be viewed as Black Australians and other Black people can be viewed as Black people of migrant background. Whilst there is some commonality, the two groups are very different and experience racism differently in Australia.
2. Privilege works differently here: In general yes, there is light skinned privilege and oppression of people with dark skin worldwide and in Australia – no one would be able to say otherwise when presented with those facts. However, in Australia, Indigenous Australians are perpetually on the bottom of the heap. If you are not an Indigenous Australian, in Australia you will always have some level of privilege over and above Indigenous Australians due to the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous Australians in our own country. This is regardless of your skin colour, other oppression you may face, etc. I have further explained this before, here.
3. If you want to work on race and racism in Australia, you need to reference Indigenous Australians: I have spoken on and written about this subject for some years now. Pretty much if you are working on racism and race in Australia you need to defer to Indigenous Australian experiences, history and context. Your anti-racism work in Australia will never succeed until the ongoing oppression and dispossession of Indigenous Australians is addressed as I have previously explained here. Therefore, your anti-racism work needs to be in solidarity with Indigenous Australians – it cannot succeed if it exists on its own, independent of addressing the racism against Indigenous Australians in this country.
That should explain things more simply…if you can check your privilege as a non-Indigenous Australian at the door and if you can do some independent research of your own and have an AUSTRALIAN understanding of race and racism in Australia, not just conveniently applying an American/Canadian/British/whatever analysis.
To conclude, I just want to say that I have been working in anti-racism for some time now. As an Aboriginal woman, I am without a doubt responding to racism directed at me constantly in Australia – working in anti-racism is something I do by my very nature of being in this country. For the past few years, this work has led me to work in solidarity with refugee and asylum seeker communities and of course as a First Generation migrant myself, with migrant communities.
I am so incredibly hurt, heartsore and upset that whilst I have been working in solidarity with refugee, asylum seeker and migrant communities, members of these communities, individuals I have worked alongside personally, have not only NOT been working in reciprocal solidarity with me as an Aboriginal woman, but have now shown their cards: they do not understand how a critical analysis of race and racism needs to be applied in Australia, in deference to the history and experience of Indigenous Australians.
I thought really long and hard about whether to write this piece and what other responses I could take, but to be perfectly honest, I myself felt set up on, attacked and bullied (I can only begin to imagine how Celeste felt) by the shameful actions of this lynch mob. It has felt like a school-clique of bullies who are attacking me as a blackfella with passive aggressive statements (as Tweets and Facebook statuses), sharing notes about me (as blog posts) and I have been taken straight back to primary school where the white girls would pick on me in much the same way. I am so blindsided by the fact that it has come from Black and Brown sistas with whom I normally have solidarity and who I know personally. It really hurts, and it made me feel so incredibly unsafe that I did not feel in a position of power (way to buy in to the structural and pervasive racism that already exists here, set up by White Australia to oppress Aboriginal people) where I could even talk directly to you all. So I guess in saying all of this, I'm not sure if and when I will feel safe discussing this topic and be open to dialogue, but for now I invite you all to re-think your positions with these (hopefully) new facts.

Tough new tests for prospective Arabic teachers in Dubai
DUBAI // Teachers of Arabic and Islamic education face tough new tests before being employed in Dubai's private schools.
Assessors from the education regulator, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, will now directly supervise the recruitment of teachers in those subjects instead of leaving it to schools.
All prospective teachers will undergo a set of tests and interviews designed by the KHDA to analyse their subject knowledge, understanding of teaching methods and practical lesson planning skills.
The move is part of the authority's effort to improve pupils' consistently poor performance in these subjects. "We have informed the schools of our new selection process, explaining the rationale behind it," said Jameela Al Muhairi, chief of the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau.
The KHDA has always licensed teachers but schools will now have to submit candidates to a four-stage assessment process before offering them a job.
"In June 2013 we received applications from 92 new Arabic and Islamic Education teachers, 18 of whom were granted teaching appointment letters," said Ms Al Muhairi.
The new assessments will take place three times a year in September, December, and May.
Ms Al Muhairi said other moves were being put in place to improve the standard of teaching in both Arabic and Islamic Education in private schools.
"We seek our stakeholders' cooperation in providing better learning opportunities for students by ensuring the recruitment of effective teachers in these two key subjects," she said.
Dr Samia Al Farra, chief education officer at Taaleem education group, said the move was a good one in principle.
"It a good step in the right direction but I wonder if the logistics of it will work. Does the KHDA have the capacity to assess a large number of teachers and what about the quality of assessment?" she said.

Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2029 after 7 days on 28 April 2029 at 10:37.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 6 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 362 of Meeus index or 1315 from Brown series.
Length of current 362 lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 2 minutes. It is 1 hour and 54 minutes longer than next lunation 363 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 18 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 45 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠188.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠213.4°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
7 days after point of apogee on 12 April 2029 at 23:04 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 27 April 2029 at 16:24 in ♎ Libra.
Moon is 383 778 km (238 469 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 7 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 357 829 km (222 345 mi).
1 day after its descending node on 19 April 2029 at 21:27 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 11 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 2 May 2029 at 09:41 in ♑ Capricorn.
15 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
2 days after previous North standstill on 18 April 2029 at 10:56 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠24.526°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-24.466° in the next southern standstill on 1 May 2029 at 04:13 in ♐ Sagittarius.
After 7 days on 28 April 2029 at 10:37 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

The importance of taking care of your tyres
Drivers often overlook the importance of taking care of their tyres. Poor tyres can significantly reduce the performance of your vehicle.
Having legal tread depth is one of the most important checks you can make. As of 3rd March 2017, even if you have just one worn tyre, that could mean 3 points on your licence and a £2500 fine.
The legal tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three quarters of the tyre. A simple, easy way to check this is the 20p test. Put the coin in the grooves of the tyre, if you can't see the outer band, then your tyres are above the legal limit. On the other hand, if the band is visible, your tyres may be illegal and should be changed.

Honda Civic Type R: Coming this way
Search Driven for vehicles for sale
Honda will unveil the production version of its much-anticipated new Civic Type R hot-hatch when the Geneva International Motor Show opens on March 9 — and it's coming to New Zealand this year.
The latest Civic to carry the Type R designation has been developed in parallel with the new standard Civic hatchback range, which is set to arrive in New Zealand from mid-2017 when it joins the sedan model launched last year.
Honda New Zealand says the Type R will follow towards the end of the year.
Honda showed a prototype version of the new Civic Type R at the Paris Auto Show in September 2016, confirming it will be powered by a 2.0-litre VTEC Turbo engine but not announcing any output figures. The 2.0-litre VTEC Turbo in the outgoing model developed 230kW with 400Nm of torque.
The prototype shown in Paris gave a clear indication of the muscular body styling and aerodynamic modifications that will distinguish the Type R while also featuring a fine-grained brushed aluminium-effect finish unique to the show car.
At the front, the aggressive bumper is accentuated with a winged carbon-fibre splitter and red accent line while slatted ducts add width to the bumper and diamond-mesh inserts fill the sculpted air intakes.
Honda's famous red "H" badge — which adorns all Type R models — sits above a new air vent at the nose of the car. There is also a new intake on the bonnet, with an air scoop sited centrally in a trapezoidal recess.
Smoked lenses for the LED headlights, indicators and side repeaters reflected the prototype's more aggressive character.
On the show car, carbon fibre side skirts run the length of the wheelbase while enlarged arches accommodate the 20-inch piano black alloy wheels with red accents and 245-section high-performance tyres.
A substantial carbon-fibre diffuser runs below the wider rear bumper, which frames three tail pipes with a pair of directional strakes at each side.
Production of the new Civic Type R will start in mid-2017 at Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM) in Swindon. The car will be exported across Europe and to other global market, including North America, the first time any Honda-badged Type R has been officially sold there.

Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♐ Sagittarius later.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.6% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1901" and ∠1890".
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2014 after 1 day on 13 June 2014 at 04:11.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 178 of Meeus index or 1131 from Brown series.
Length of current 178 lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 28 minutes. It is 1 hour and 5 minutes shorter than next lunation 179 length.
Length of current synodic month is 44 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 6 hours and 19 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠112.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠144.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
8 days after point of apogee on 3 June 2014 at 04:25 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 3 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 15 June 2014 at 03:34 in ♑ Capricorn.
Moon is 377 014 km (234 266 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 3 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 362 062 km (224 975 mi).
2 days after its ascending node on 9 June 2014 at 05:36 in ♎ Libra, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 10 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 21 June 2014 at 20:30 in ♈ Aries.
2 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
12 days after previous North standstill on 30 May 2014 at 00:38 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠19.023°. Next day the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-19.033° in the next southern standstill on 13 June 2014 at 06:03 in ♐ Sagittarius.
After 1 day on 13 June 2014 at 04:11 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

Dark African types have been weaponised by the highest leaders in the land. White-hating persons placed in high ranks of govt. will spit it right out in your face. I'll post up an example.

Thanks Steve.
One question, are you the same Steve at Disqus? No matter really, just asking.
Hey, thanks Steve. I didn't know Colin Flaherty had a bitchute page. You know this chimp out is never gonna see the light of day with the (((MSM))). That would be counterproductive to the ideals of divershity, oh sorry my bad I meant diversity.

text: July 4, 2019 The best foods for your summer food drive Summer is a difficult season for families living in poverty. Children no longer have the option to eat in school breakfast and lunch programs, and parents often struggle to fill the groceries gap. Unfortunately, donations to local food banks also tend to drop off significantly when the weather gets warmer. If you'd like to help keep The Stop's food bank and community meal programs stocked throughout the summer and fall, here's a list of the best items to include in a food drive. What We're Looking For: The Stop welcomes food donations that are fresh, wholesome, nutritious, and rich in the kinds of good ingredients you would want in your own home. Vegetables: Low-sodium canned vegetables and vegetable juices, canned tomatoes, and pasta sauces Fruits: Canned fruit, sugar-free applesauce, dried fruit, 100% fruit juices Fish/Beans/Nuts: Canned tuna or chicken, canned and dried beans, low-sodium broth or bean soups, unsalted nuts, unsweetened peanut butter, canned and dried lentils Dairy Alternatives: Shelf-stable unsweetened milk alternatives (rice, soy, almond, coconut etc.) Grains: Brown or wild rice, whole grain pasta, cereals, trans fat-free tortillas, old-fashioned oats or low-sugar oatmeal, whole grain crackers and other snacks, granola bars, gluten-free options Spices/Cooking Oils: Olive, canola, and vegetable oils, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, chili powders, taco seasonings, cinnamon, baking spices Baby Supplies: Baby food and formula, diapers (any size, but especially size 2-3), baby wipes Hygiene Items: Soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss We Do Not Accept: Opened products, expired or past the best-before date product, soda/pop or sugar-added beverages, potato chips, candy, chocolate bars, ramen noodles, canned pasta Due to our purchasing relationships with local farmers and vendors, donating money to The Stop is the single most effective way to increase your neighbours' access to good food. Please consider recommending that your food drive participants offer a monetary donation to The Stop instead of purchasing items to donate. Questions about what to include in your food drive?

|Transfusion of Prematures (TOP) Trial: Does a Liberal Red Blood Cell Transfusion Strategy Improve Neurologically-Intact Survival of Extremely-Low-Birth-Weight Infants as Compared to a Restrictive Strategy?
|Brief Summary
|The objective of the TOP trial is to determine whether higher hemoglobin thresholds for transfusing ELBW infants resulting in higher hemoglobin levels lead to improvement in the primary outcome of survival and rates of neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 22-26 months of age, using standardized assessments by Bayley.
|Detailed Description
Long-term outcomes of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) preterm infants, those weighing less than or equal to 1000 g at birth, are poor and pose a major health care burden. Virtually all of these infants are transfused, but at inconsistent hemoglobin (Hgb) thresholds.
The investigators propose in TOP to randomize infants less than or equal to 1000 g BW and gestational age at least 22 weeks but less than 29 weeks to receive red blood cell (RBC) transfusions according to one of two strategies of Hgb thresholds, either a high Hgb (liberal transfusion) or a low Hgb (restrictive transfusion) algorithm. It is currently unknown which transfusion strategy is superior. TOP is powered to demonstrate which strategy reduces the primary outcome of death or neurodisability in survivors at 22-26 months.
A secondary study entitled "Effect of Blood Transfusion Practices on Cerebral and Somatic Oximetry", also known as the NIRS study, will determine differences in cerebral oxygenation and fractional tissue oxygen extraction with NIRS between high and low hemoglobin threshold groups during red blood cell transfusions. The investigators also propose to determine whether abnormal cerebral NIRS measures are a better predictor of NDI than hemoglobin alone and whether abnormal mesenteric NIRS measures are associated with the development of NEC within the 48 hours following a transfusion.
A secondary study entitled "Economic Evaluation Ancillary to the Transfusion of Prematures Randomized Controlled Trial" will determine whether higher transfusion threshold will result in lower total costs to society over the first 22 to 26 corrected months of life and estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for survival without neurodevelopmental impairment, from the perspective of society, the third-party payer, and the family.
Extended follow-up: Subjects will be seen for a follow-up visit at 5-6 years corrected age to assess neurological and functional outcomes at early school age based on neonatal transfusion threshold.

When you're a super pop band who seems to have as many hits as songs recorded in their career, choosing songs to craft a great "hits" album shouldn't be a problem. And for dc Talk, it certainly isn't. And what better name to give the greatest hits album than Intermission. Considering all the rumors that have circulated about the band over the past couple years about their demise, the name Intermission hints that there's more to come and this is just a "in the meantime" project.
The album starts off with a new dance-influenced remix of "Say the Words" from their 1992 Free at Last album, entitled "Say the Words (Today)." The songs that follow is a good mix of hits created from 1992 to present day. The catchy acoustic pop tune "Colored People" from the renowned 1995 Jesus Freak album follows, with the upbeat rap/rock of "Jesus is Just Alright" steps up afterwards. The acoustic pop rock flows from one song to the next in working order next with "Between You and Me," "Mind's Eye," "Consume Me," "My Will," and "In the Light." The famous bit from old "Mrs. Morgan" (retitled "Mrs. Morgan (Act 1)") breaks up the mix as the more edgier, upbeat tracks such as "Socially Acceptable," "Luv is a Verb," "Supernatural," and "Jesus Freak" follow. The album ends pretty well with a remix of "Hardway," followed by the fear of falling "What If I Stumble?" and the fear of being left behind, "I Wish We'd All Been Ready."
As the collection closes, three brand new tracks aid the exit. "Chance" is a new song with a primarily acoustic setting about the chances Christians have all the time to be a light. A solid song, "Chance" fits well among the hits. "Sugar Coat It" doesn't fit so snugly, however. An upbeat song in the same feel as "My Friend (So Long)" and "Since I Met You" from their 1998 Supernatural, "Sugar Coat It" seems less organized, innovative, and ground-breaking than the other tracks on the album (and those left off the album). Granted it's a good song, but I don't feel it was the best choice for the collection. The final inclusion on the project is the new "Mrs. Morgan (Act 2)" which has Morgan's jests set to a electronic beat reminiscent of that of Kid Rock (on "Mr. Morgan (Act 1)," Mrs. Morgan's husband gets his few seconds of fame).
A great collection selected by fans from a great band, Intermission leaves fans with the hope that there will be much more to come from this trio before they turn in the mic's. And it's certainly an album for non-fans to spin to hear what some of dc Talk's best offerings are.- Review date: 10/30/00, written by John DiBiase

My longtime friend Bud came through town the other day, on his way home with an 8-week-old pointer riding shotgun. We greeted the pup like a new member of our extended family, which in many ways he is, and will become.
As I visited with Bud, talk turned to all the other dogs that have shared our lives, and I was a little surprised to recall all the firsts that occurred in Bud's company: my first tundra swan; my first successive limits of Hungarian partridges; my first hunting dog, a rescue Lab cross who hid under my bed the first time she saw a gun but developed into a talented retriever of anything with wings and a cackle, thanks in part to Bud's encouragement.
Physically, I've moved away from Bud. We live in towns about 350 miles apart. But I've also moved beyond his interests and talents. We don't get together much, and talk only infrequently. But when we're together I'm reminded of all that he poured into me over the years: a love of dogs, sure, but also knowledge about where to find early season grouse, how to shoot rising teal on the sporting clays range, and how to twitch a topwater for surly pike.
I've connected since with other mentors who have taught me many other dimensions of my sporting life, but the addition of each hasn't diminished the contributions of Bud or any of the other mentors who came before. There's no graph or calculus that can prove this, but I'm sure that the addition of each mentor in a life adds more than a single unit of knowledge. Rather, it's an exponential increase – each additional mentor adds disproportionately to the previous one, sort of like layers on an inverted pyramid.
I realized, talking to Bud and passing his puppy back and forth, that it's incorrect to think of a mentor as an individual or a mentorship as a moment. We all are teaching and learning, and I'm betting you have a dozen or more people who have influenced various parts of your multi-faceted life just as you've contributed to the knowledge and experiences of plenty of people around you.
Before Bud left, his little worn-out pointer sleeping in his arms, I told him we need to get together and hunt that dog with mine. Maybe I'll show him some new grouse spots, I offered. Maybe. He said. But you're always welcome to come hunt mine, Bud said, as he turned his pickup west and as continued the long road home with a new puppy to teach.

Latest Stories
When you were (or if you are) at university, the only thing harder than getting up for 9am lectures is maintaining a regular sleeping pattern. Every day is as unpredictable as the last when you're at uni so there is an unlimited amount of reasons that 4am bedtimes would be on the cards. By the sounds of it, we could have all used some sleeping tips.
The worse thing about trying to get enough sleep is that one raucous night can spiral into six restless nights trying to figure out why you can't sleep. Our resting patterns are such fickle and delicate things. Luckily, this infographic from Sleepy People breaks down how to get through university with some need-to-know sleeping tips.
"When it comes to sleep, there's no hiding the fact that students are one of the most sleep-depreved populations. From house parties and pub crawls to all night long revision sessions, there's many things which distract students from getting a great night's sleep".
This graphic not only gives ten solid pieces of advice but justifies them! This is a big deal because, as many of you will know, trying to get students to do anything that remotely benefits their health is neigh on impossible.
Here are three of the most important sleeping tips to take-away.
1. Resist the temptation of an all-nighter
It should be said that the all-nighter has been romanticised. If you're in a position where you have to stay up all night to finish work, congratulations, you are either the slowest worker in the world or terribly organised. All-nighters do more damage than good, that's just a fact.
2. Perfect the art of napping
According to the National Sleep Foundation, a short nap of 20-30 minutes can help improve alertness, memory, mood and overall academic performance. Sounds wonderful!
3. Limit alcohol intake
It sounds absolutely nuts telling a student to go steady with the booze but even a few bevs can send your body straight into deep sleep missing the important restorative sleep, REM.

Adjectives including "South Africa's very best white" (merci for that one, Marianne Thamm), "award-winning journalist" and "the woman who puts the 'wit' in Twitter" ought to be conjured.
But "self-help author"?
If "nah, bru" is your initial response, not to worry. This born cynic would agree hands down.
Self-Helpless, Davis's latest contribution to the local literary scene, chronicling her year-long "journey" of immersing herself in the world of auras, chakras, sweat lodges, mindfulness and (much) more, was sparked when she resolved to undertake "one of the most difficult things I've ever done" - quit drinking.
Intrigued as to why the struggle was so onerous? Take a look at the facts:
The former Rhodent (all together now: "eat, sleep, mare, repeat!") discovered alcohol at 18 and pursued her newfound hobby with such a "passionate intensity" that by the time she reached 34, she calculated that she had spent roughly 9,984 hours of her 16 years as an imbiber, well, drinking.
Abstaining from the demon drink made Davis question How. The. Hell. Do sober people cope with an increasingly insane world? (And, as she writes, there's plenty to worry about - giraffes are facing extinction, Day Zero remains a shaky reality, the world is running out of sand ... Things are even bleaker now than in '87, R.E.M.)
Cue the alternative-method quest to stay sane inside insanity.
Keen to hear how that went down? Take a deep breath ... Hold for three ... Exhale ... Aaaaand read:
So, like, apps are distracting us, but, like, we rely on them to, like, track our mindfulness. Like, what?!
The contradictory nature of our main cause of distraction (here's looking at you, screens courtesy of Steve Jobs) as an aid to achieving mindfulness (here's looking at you, apps courtesy of Herr Jobs) is not lost on Davis.
"While writing the book I became aware of the extent to which I was relying on apps," Davis sincerely relates.
"Which, first of all, does not make for good material. You're like 'and then I downloaded an app'," she says mockingly. "But it is true - technology, as much as it's fucking with our minds, is also providing us with ways of escaping them.
"But, as I write, what comes with that is this strange, quite sinister sense of ... um ..." She considers her words in between mouthfuls of a chocolate croissant (courtesy of the good people at Pan Mac), before settling on "A - competition and B - excellence."
She elaborates that these mindfulness apps tend to keep a record of "how much you meditate; for how long a day they allow you to measure yourself to other people meditating.
"Which is fundamentally counter-intuitive for when you think about what meditation is supposed to be," she says incredulously.
Davis maintains that the notion of apps pairs with the idea that "you need to be your best in the modern world.
"So, you're not necessarily meditating in order to produce a sense of inner calm for inner calms' sake, you're doing it..."
Her voice morphs into a gradual crescendo before she delivers the following - fortissimo - statement:
"... [i]n order to be as mentally healthy as possible, in order to ready you for your next ..." She pauses for a moment as she contemplates her assertion before settling on "commercial task".
"So!" she continues in fine form, "you need to be healthy and happy so that you can sell more books, or whatever."
The fundamental nature of apps - "they measure, they track" - does not sit well with her, nor a "kind of spiritual pursuit.
"Except for the death app. The death app just tells that you're going to die," she says in a more subdued tone.
"And there's something quite pleasing about that," comes the cheerfully ruminative sequential comment.
