A trickster named Coyote rules her world, until a funny-looking stranger named Columbus changes her plans. Unimpressed by the wealth of moose, turtles, and beavers in Coyote' s land, he' d rather figure out how to hunt human beings to sell back in Spain. Thomas King uses a bag of literary tricks to shatter the stereotypes surrounding Columbus' s voyages. In doing so, he invites children to laugh with him at the crazy antics of Coyote, who unwittingly allows Columbus to engineer the downfall of his human friends. William Kent Monkman's vibrant illustrations perfectly complement this amusing story with a message.

Coyote is having friends over for a little solstice party in the woods when a little girl comes by unexpectedly. She leads the friends through the snowy woods to the mall -- a place they had never seen before. The trickster goes crazy with glee as he shops with abandon, only to discover that filling a shopping cart with goodies is not quite the same thing as actually paying for them.

When Chris and Toby Greyeyes find a raven in the garage, they try to trap it and hurt it with hockey sticks. To them, ravens are just a nuisance because they spread garbage all over the street. Or so they think—until a mysterious man who smells like pine needles enters their lives and teaches them his story of the raven.
In this intriguing book, George Littlechild, internationally acclaimed artist and author of the Jane Addams Award-winning book This Land Is My Land, returns to collaborate with Richard Van Camp, an exciting voice in Native American literature.
Set in the Northwest Territories of Canada, Van Camp's contemporary story draws from the animal legends and folklore told to him by his Dogrib elders. Littlechild's bold use of color and perspective captures the sense of mystery and magic surrounding the strange raven man who teaches the boys the meaning of respect for nature.
Blending past with present, the magical with the real, A Man Called Raven is both a tribute to the wisdom of the raven and a positive reminder that we can all learn from nature.

Like A Walk on the Tundra, A Walk on the Shoreline introduces young readers to unique plants and animals found in the Arctic, as well as the traditional Inuit uses for the various species.
Young Nukappia can't wait to get out to his family campsite on the shoreline. After spending all year in the south with his adoptive parents, Nukappia always looks forward to his summer visits with his birth family. After spending one night in town, Nukappia and his uncle Angu begin the long walk down the shore to the family summer campsite, where all of Nukappia's cousins and aunts and uncles are waiting for him. Along the way, Nukappia learns that the shoreline is not just ice and rocks and water. There is an entire ecosystem of plants and animals that call the shoreline home. From seaweed to clams to char to shore grasses, there is far more to see along the shoreline than Nukappia ever imagined.
"A Walk on the Shoreline also has a full-colour glossary of the plants and animals that Nukappia encounters along the way, including photographs, quick facts and traditional uses of the plant or animal. A Walk on the Shoreline is a well-researched, informative and engaging guide to the northern shoreline. The information is well-placed and woven through the text in an engaging manner. The reader gets to learn along with the protagonist, focusing more on the flora and fauna along the way than the rest of the northern setting. This focus on one detail of living in Nunavut works well; it doesn't try and add too many details, but it provides a thread along the way." — CM Magazine
"This reunion story features detailed character and scene-setting sketches by Qin Leng that help readers see how traditional Inuit communities live." — Hakai Magazine

A Walk on the Tundra follows Inuujaq, a little girl who travels with her grandmother onto the tundra. There, Inuujaq learns that these tough little plants are much more important to Inuit than she originally believed.
In addition to an informative storyline that teaches the importance of Arctic plants, this book includes a field guide with photographs and scientific information about a wide array of plants found throughout the Arctic.
This volume is a cross between a picture book, a story and a field guide to edible plants.... Authors, Rebecca Hainnu and Anna Ziegler, have worked on several educational publications. That background is apparent in this book. There are eighteen Inuktitut words, including 6 plant names, introduced in the text. They are explained and italicized when they are first introduced, for example "Nirilikkit – eat them". The next time the word is used, it is assumed that the reader knows what it means.... [A]s a tool for building vocabulary, or as a storybook for students who have some familiarity with Inuktitut, this work would be excellent." – Sandy Campbell, The Deakin Review of Children's Literature

When Akilak must travel a great distance to another camp to gather food, she thinks she will never be able to make it. With a little help from her grandmother's spirit, and her own imagination to keep her entertained, Akilak manages to turn a long journey into an adventure. Even though she at first feels that she will never be able to reach her destination, she keeps her grandmother's assurance that her "destination is not running away; it will be reached eventually" in mind and ends up enjoying the journey that at first seemed so daunting.
"Akilak's Adventure is a worthy addition to school and public library collections." — CM Magazine
"An engaging and recommended read-aloud for all collections." — School Library Journal
"Akilak's Adventure has timeless teachings about responsibility and the importance of imagination to make it a worthwhile read now and always." — CanLit for Little Canadians

Alego is a beautifully simple story, written in Inuktitut and English, about a young Inuit girl who goes to the shore with her grandmother to collect clams for supper.

Written and illustrated by Ningeokuluk Teevee, one of the most interesting young artists in Cape Dorset, home to the great tradition of Inuit art, this is an enchanting and utterly authentic introduction to the life of an Inuit child and her world.

A beautiful and visionary book, Ancient Thunder celebrates wild horses and the natural world of the prairies. Using an extraordinary technique, Leo Yerxa, an artist of Ojibway ancestry, makes paper look like leather, so that his illustrations seem to be painted on leather shirts. The art is accompanied by a rich song of praise for the wild horses that came to play such an important role in the lives of the First Peoples.
Years in the making, the book is truly a work of art — one that reflects Yerxa's sense of nature and the place of the First Peoples within it.
- In 2008, Ancient Thunder was the award recipient for First Nation Communities Read.
- Winner of the Governor General's Award

Acclaimed Inuit storyteller Michael Kusugak weaves a tapestry of tales about ten-year-old Agatha and her accidental heroism in the high Arctic of 1958. The first of Agatha''s stories is based on one of Kusugak''s real life experiences, when an eerie, black airship flew over Chesterfield Inlet in 1958. A sleepy Agatha "saves" the community from the monstrous flying object.
In the second story, Agatha notices the playful antics of the winter ravens and takes an interest in the many migrating birds. As the seasons change, she begins to favor more beautiful and peaceful birds of spring, until the ravens return.
The third of Agatha''s stories takes place in the fall when Agatha is sent to school in Chesterfield Inlet, an English-speaking community south of her home. During an afternoon of skating, Agatha rescues a show-off priest, who has inadvertently demonstrated the danger of thin ice.
The three Agatha stories resonate with the nostalgia and affection of Kusugak''s childhood memories.
"This collection of three tales, set in Repulse Bay, features an endearing 10-year-old heroine, named Agatha, through whose eyes the reader experiences life in the high Arctic.... The author weaves a tapestry of simply told stories, each of which, by skilful use of detail, manages to bring to life the experience of growing up in a small Inuit community.... Vladyana Krykorka's paintings give the reader a beautifully detailed rendition of the Arctic landscape in every season. Her depictions of Kusugak's human and animal characters are wonderfully satisfying, full of life and humour.... [They] complement the text brilliantly.... The beauty of Kusugak's work lies in his ability to evoke for his southern readers a vivid picture of a way of life that is fast disappearing. Arctic Tales will be a welcome addition to the resources that teachers and librarians look for as they plan their units on the Arctic and the Inuit. The book's Grade-three reading level should guarantee its popularity among young students doing projects on Inuit life. Recommended."— Valerie Nielsen, Canadian Materials, October 1999

A unique glimpse of childhood in the Arctic by an acclaimed Inuit storyteller.
The year is 1955 and Arvaarluk and his friends watch as Rocky Parsons lands his plane on the ice in Repulse Bay, a tiny community "smack dab on the Arctic Circle." Having never seen trees before, the children try to guess what the six green spindly things are that Rocky delivers. One of the boys has a brilliant idea: why not use them as baseball bats?
Full of vibrant, richly-colored illustrations, this story introduces young readers to a time, place, and culture that may be new to them. The Arctic way of life is realistically portrayed by the author, whose narrative voice resonates with the lilt of his native language. Readers will be able to listen to Michael telling the story by connecting to a link given in the book.

Joe and Cody are young Cree brothers who follow the caribou all year long, tucked into their dog sled with their Mama and Papa. To entice the wandering herds, Joe plays the Kitoochigan, his accordion, and Cody dances, whirling like a young caribou. They are so busy playing and dancing, they don't hear the rumble of the caribou. Bursting from the forest, ten thousand animals fill the meadow like a lake. Joe is engulfed; he can barely see Cody a few yards away, perched like a doll on the caribou moss. Their parents seem to have disappeared.
And yet what should be a moment of terror turns into something mystical and magical, as the boys open their arms and their hearts to embrace the caribou spirit.
A tale that is perfectly simple and satisfying, yet infused with layers of wonder that will open both children's and adults' minds to the intriguing possibilities of independence, separation and the strength of the spirit, Caribou Song is the first in a three-book series about Joe and Cody.
"Caribou Song is a story of family, tradition, spirit, and livelihood. Music weaves the elements together, making them soar just as Highway's words and Rombough's art beautifully and evocatively express a way of life that has slipped (or is slipping) away. Rombough's illustrations in Caribou Song are strongly influenced by the Woodland (or Anishinaabe) School, with its emphasis on dark outlines, vivid colours, and visionary imagery. Founding member Norval Morrisseau's iconic style lives on in Rombough's work, but where they diverge is in the almost effervescent quality of Rombough's paintings. Bubbling with circular imagery and spots of amethyst, sapphire and topaz, framed in black and laid over flat washes of colour, each scene is like a pane of stained glass; a mix of storytelling and spirituality that is simply magnificent." — 32pages.ca
"Tomson Highway's mastery creates an exciting, action-packed plot. Elements of suspense simultaneously entertain beauty, magic, and whimsy. Highway artfully crafts his scenes with the vivid river imagery capturing the full drama of the caribou's presence - the sound of their hooves beating on the earth like the pounding of drums. Caribou Song is an experience for the senses. — CM Magazine

Until your corporation is officially created, it has no legal status and cannot participate in a land transfer. Even if you are planning to incorporate soon, your corporation cannot own land until it is legally created under your state's laws. Generally, this means you must file articles of incorporation with your state's business registration office and pay a registration fee. Your articles of incorporation establish your corporation's name, registered agent and other information as required by your state's laws. Once your corporation meets your state's legal requirements for incorporation, it has the legal status necessary to accept a land transfer.
Sales Contract
Before your corporation purchases land, you must draft a real estate sales contract between the corporation and the seller of the real estate. Since it is the corporation, rather than the corporate officers in their personal capacity, the contract must list the name of the corporation as the grantee, or buyer, of the real estate. A real estate contract describes the land being sold, terms of the sale and must be signed by someone in the corporation who is authorized to represent the corporation in such transactions.
Real Property Deed
To actually transfer the real estate into your corporation's ownership, you must obtain a deed from the seller. A deed contains the legal description of the property being transferred. Your deed must list the seller by name and identify the legal name of your corporation as the buyer. A deed can be drafted by a lawyer, title company or document preparation service. At your real estate closing, your corporation exchanges the deed for payment, meaning the corporation gets the deed and the seller gets paid the amount specified in the real estate contract.
Filing the Deed
Once you acquire the deed pursuant to the sales contract, you should record the deed with your state as evidence of the land transfer. Typically, deeds are recorded with the recorder or registrar of the county in which the purchased land is located. This is true even if your corporation's main office is not located in that county. You may have to pay real estate transfer taxes to record the deed, and your state may require your corporation to file an Affidavit of Property Value to document the property's value and accompanying tax payment. Generally, counties require payment of a small recording fee. Recording procedures vary between counties. For example, some counties require your corporation to create a special cover sheet to record the deed. Once the deed is properly recorded, your land transfer is complete.

Young have a 'stronger sense of priestly identity'
By Damir Govorcin
28 June, 2009
A sea-change is occurring in the Church with a new generation of young people
re-discovering the deeply Catholic dimension of their faith, says Bishop Julian Porteous,
auxiliary Bishop of Sydney.
"World Youth Day is a product that reflects it and nourishes it," he said.
"I don't think it's just World Youth Day itself, but World Youth Day very much opened people's eyes to what is actually happening in the Church."
Bishop Porteous says the next generation of priests is going to have a "different orientation" towards the priesthood then previous generations.
"And sometimes older priests find that difficult to grasp," he said. "I think younger priests have a stronger sense of priestly identity.
"They have a greater appreciation of things like the devotional life of the Church.
"They often have a clear sense of the teaching of the Church and want to be advocates of the teaching in particular of controversial issues.
"They are strongly convinced of and want to promote the Church's teaching on various moral issues at the present moment.
"Younger priests have a deep discovery of their Catholic faith and particularly the traditions of the faith, and these are the things they want to share and transmit in their priestly ministry."
In his new book, After the Heart of God, Bishop Porteous examines what sort of priest is needed for the third millennium.
Drawing on his 34 years as a priest and seven years as rector of the Good Shepherd Seminary, Homebush, he discusses the issue in the light of dramatic changes in the cultural and ecclesial landscape in the past 50 years.
The book also looks at the identity, spirituality and pastoral orientation of priests, especially diocesan priests.
After the Heart of God was launched by the Archbishop of Sydney, George Cardinal Pell, at St Mary's Cathedral on June 24. [It will also be launched by Fr John Flader at the Catholic Centre, Lidcombe, on July 15.]
Bishop Porteous said: "I wrote the book as a result of my seven years as rector of the Good Shepherd Seminary, and one of the questions that were always in my mind was what sort of priest is needed for the Church and society of today.
"Writing the book gave me a chance to reflect on my 30 plus years as a priest, my experiences and what I saw as a great change that had taken place in the society and also the Church in that period of time.
"It also gave me the opportunity to reflect on how best priests can go about their priestly ministry today."
He added: "I did have in mind priests firstly when I was writing the book because I thought it was important to write something more specifically directed to the Australian situation. I thought it was important to have an Australian priest write about the experience of being a priest in Australia."
Among the many issues examined in the book, Bishop Porteous looks at the living situation of priests.
"Are the living conditions, the circumstances that priests find themselves in now in parishes really the best and what can we do about them? I think that's really an
important question," he said.
"For example, when I was first ordained I was in a parish with the parish priest.
"We had a live-in house-keeper; there were formal meals where other priests would be invited.
"There was a greater structure to the way of life of the priest, where as now a lot of structure has disappeared."
Bishop Porteous added: "Another question that's important that I discuss in a range of ways is the identity of the priest.
"Lay people are taking more and more roles in parishes – that's a very good and necessary thing – but it does raise questions of what's the specific role of the priest and what's the role of the lay person?
"One of the key things is for priests to deepen the sense of their own identity – who they are as priests.
"And also to be more appreciative of what people need most from priests.
"I think the most distinctive thing priests have to offer people is to assist them in their relationship with God.
"A priest needs to be a man of God, a man of faith, his celebration of the liturgy needs to be as such that it really helps people be drawn closer to God, be spiritually nourished through their liturgical celebrations.
"The priest does need to be a pastor after the heart of Christ."

Wait Entertainment: they had people outside and then you watch a home made movie that lead up to the haunted house. that was really good. line moved fast
Length of Event: about 15 min
Actor Performance: very good for High school students. acting was good.
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: very good flow. no hold ups. not too fast not too slow
Appropriate Ages: 10 an up
Props / Special FX: lots of blood and guts in some. loved the last 2 rooms. seemed like they took a lot of time to put it together
Costumes / Make-up: very good. not a lot of mask. actually makeup and people
Summary: Was very good for the second year. we came last year too and this was even better. new location too. But we loved it. Look forward to seeing what they do next year. Liked the fact that they had a lot of live actors. would highly recommend and was a good rate of only 7.00 one you can afford to take the whole crew too. thanks
Wait Entertainment: short movie, did not have to wait in a long line unlike other places
Length of Event: great pace
Actor Performance: great costumes and very scary
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: they do not rush you through but was not to slow
Appropriate Ages: 10 and up
Props / Special FX: sound affects, screaming very good, music great
Costumes / Make-up: very authentic, make up very bloody
Summary: I would recommend a visit. It was not real expensive like some of the others. You did not know what to expect either in the parking lot or around any corner. It is another must see year.
Wait Entertainment: Actors in parking lot and a homemade movie they have you watch as a group before you enter. Pretty neat.
Length of Event: 15 mins
Actor Performance: Good job considering these are high school kids raising money for their soccer team.
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: Steady. Never seen any other groups ahead of us.
Appropriate Ages: 10 and up.
Props / Special FX: Pretty neat stuff considering once again it is mainly high school kids doing this.
Costumes / Make-up: Basic stuff nothing really impressive but they did a good job. The element of surprise always out does the costume.
Summary: We decided to hit this one on our way home from Rosiclare Haunting. This way we didn't drive all that way for one haunted house. This one was pretty good too considering it is low budget and delivered by mainly high school kids. Alot of blood and gore in this one so weak stomachs should not attend. Other than a little hard to find, this place ranks right up there in our top 5 this year. For people not wanting to dump a lot of money at place like Talon Falls or Zombie Farm, this place and the one in Rosiclare are great hauntings at a very reasonable price. We reccommend visiting both on same night since they are both located in extreme South of our region. Rosiclare has biggest scare factor but this one also has it's perks that get you good. Once again if you are into being scared and not entertained this one is also a must see.
Wait Entertainment: yes. had people scare you before you got out of cars. and in the video room several actors scare you. Vidoe was awesome
Length of Event: including video about 15 min or so
Actor Performance: very good for High School students. Went last year and they are getting better.
Patron Flow Inside Attraction: very good. did not run into any other groups
Appropriate Ages: 7 and up. some rooms scary for under 9 maybe
Props / Special FX: lots of real actors. maybe 40 or more. props were good too.
Costumes / Make-up: lots of costumes and makeup. Was done well. Parts dept was really good.
Summary: Over all was awesome. Enjoyed it from the movie to the end. Liked the fact that it had lots of real actors and not just props. and price was really fair. Not too high. I have been both years and will go again.

Here and There
The man who probably has seen more
of the refinery's development and "grow-
ing pains" than any other is not an
employee but the Government Boiler
Inspector, who, at intervals of several
months, has watched the gradual evolu-
tion of the plant from a cactus patch to
the world's largest refinery. Lionel
Veldtman, the inspector, paid his last
visit to Lago's boilers on March 9. He
has since assumed new duties in Cura-
gao, terminating a connection that goes
back farther than the oldest of Lago's
oldtimers can remember.

Lionel Dean, of the Garage, and Mrs.
Dean celebrated their silver wedding
anniversary March 19. They were mar-
ried at Princes Town, Trinidad, in 1918.
For more than 13 of those 25 years, Mr.
Dean has been an employee. He started
working at the Garage in 1929.

Visits Aruba Operations
Making his second visit to Aruba in
the last five months, Lago's President
W. J. Haley spent ten days here last
month, with a full schedule of first-
hand inspection of the work, and of
meeting with employees' committees and
other groups.
Anyone attempting tn keep up with
him had to move fast and cover a large
amount of ground. Illustrated here and

occasions when the
NEWS camera caught
up with him. At top of

of him as he crawled
out of the base of the
new concrete stack,
keeping a firm grip on
his borrowed "lion ta-
mer's hat". The second

for scheduling necessary maintenance

G.L. MacNutt, assistant general fore-
man at the High Pressure Stills, sug-
gested that a cracking coil bubble tower

ing the reconstruction of the Gas Plant.
He also was awarded Fls. 50 on March

It was announced recently that, in
view of the success of the apprentice
course for Aruban boys over the past
few years, two new apprentice groups
will be formed to start work early in
May. Apprentices will be selected for the
Mechanical Apprentice Program and the
Process Apprentice Program. The pa-
rish schools throughout the island will
be contacted as in previous years, and
recommended candidates will be inter-
viewed at the schools.
Apprentice courses are planned to give
Aruban boys between the ages of 14 and
18, who have completed the sixth grade
or higher in the local schools, the op-
portunity to learn English and extend
their knowledge of arithmetic and other
vocational subjects. Aside from class-
room instruction, they will be familiariz-
ed with the refinery and with industrial'
phases of the job. The training is di-
vided so that each individual is in class
for two hours and on assigned jobs in
the various departments for six hours
each day.
Boys who meet the above require-
ments and are interested in being con-
sidered for this program should apply
through their local parish schools. Ap-
plications also may be made in person
at the plant classrooms on Friday, April
2, and Saturday, April 3, from 7 to 10,
oil companies, and various sports organ-
izations, including the Kwiek Club and

The building was erected by contrac-
tors, but all other work, such as electric
wiring, water piping, painting and de-
corations, was done by the Club mem-
bers themselves.
A sports field is already available for
hockey, softball and football. Eventually
additional facilities will be provided for

as water sports. Ping pong and other

This is a different kind of war. It used to be that
a list of vital war materials could be confined to certain
metals, minerals and materials which everyone took for
granted as necessary on the fighting front. But now the
fighting front is everywhere not only on the battle-
grounds and the world's bloody oceans, but in the
factory, on the farm, in the office and in the home.
And chief among the fighting materials, more important
even than guns or bullets or oil, is FOOD.
Here in Aruba we have been fortunate in our
supply of the things for which other parts of the world
are starving. The supply lines have been held open by
brave men of the sea, who have risked their lives in
bringing us the meat, the flour, the eggs, and the hun-
dred other items that we take almost for granted. And
we have been fortunate, too, in our proximity to the
fertile lands of the Caribbean, from which we have drawn
quantities of sugar, butter, coffee, salt and many other
And we must not waste a scrap of it! The food we
have is part of a precious hoard which must be used
wisely and well if there is to be sufficient for all who
must be fed in this famine- and war-sticken world. Every
morsel of food that is wasted here represents the wasted
use of time and effort and materials which are needed
in the fight for world freedom.
Aruba is already doing its part in producing am-
munition-its oil is fighting and winning battles for the
United Nations all over the world. Let's do even more
by saving ammunition by eliminating waste of that most
important of all ammunition. FOOD!!

you can read of ideas that will help to make "Hopi CON

States Army is asking for suggestions and ideas- because
"Ideas Win Wars".
You don't have to be an Edison before you tell the
world about your ideas. Too many of us are apt to
think our ideas don't amount to much because they're
not going to shake the world. And that's where we're
wrong because, while the genius builds a reservoir, it's
the average you and me that figures out a dripless faucet.
So think it over and send in your ideas!

Before a large and enthusiastic
audience, the Sport Park baseball season
was officially opened on Sunday. March

The Esso Garage took on the Artraco
club, and for one inning the season's
opener looked as if it might be a thriller,
when the visitors piled up two runs in
their half of the inning and the Garage
came back with one run in theirs. From
that point on, however, the game took
on the appearance of a track meet when-

in only one inning were they held score-
less. In justice to Artraco, it must be
mentioned that their star pitcher, Anto-
nio Bryson, was unable to play because
of his father's death; and without his
services the team appeared to be wobbly.
It is doubtful, however, whether any
team in the league could have stopped
the Garage on Sunday. Their hitting
was clean and long and well-placed;
their fielding was sparkling and well-
nigh faultless. Artraco will undoubtedly
break into the win column as soon as
their regular lineup is available: but the
Garage team have served notice on the
rest of the league that they're showing
no mercy.

The safety of road users within road systems has been a burning public health issue since road accident became the highest cause of death in urban areas. This trend has informed a number of studies carried out to critically review the trend in road traffic accidents and road safety approaches with a view to identifying underlying and systemic problems giving way for the high rate of road crashes. This study aims to identify and analyze the inherent problems associated with road usage and specify how roadway elements can best support road users in improving performance. Data were gathered through observational studies of selected road usage scenarios and interviews of road users. A set of human factors methods and Applied Cognitive Work Analysis (ACWA) framework was used to exhaustively examine the human-roadway system interaction for tasks-system constraints and possible human errors. The results showed that constraints and demands faced by road users within the road system determine their safety when navigating the roadways. In particular, advertorial billboards around critical sections of the roadway affect the cognitive workload of road users and ultimately their performance. The analyses also produced Representation Design Requirements (RDR) specifying ways to support road users in decision-making performance through affordances and driving decision aids, which informs the design of training requirements for drivers, intelligent transport systems, roadway signage, vehicle cockpits, roadway layout and other roadway elements. To effectively design roadway systems in improving the safety of road users, sufficient human factors information and concepts can be generated by the results of carefully selected human factors analysis methods integrated into the road system design cycle/process.
With the growing complexity of our facilities and about 90% of industrial accidents traceable to human errors, integrating human factors into facilities design and construction has become imperative. Although, human errors are not the root cause of these accidents, a deficient system made the human error possible leading to disasters. In today's design world, human factors integration into design is all about designing the facilities to make human error almost impossible (i.e. make it difficult for operators to make mistake that will lead to a disaster by using human-oriented displays/controls, interlock systems etc.). Before these human-oriented elements are designed, human factors analyses need to be done to determine possible error scenarios and error resilience of the systems. The results of these analyses are then integrated into the design of the facilities to enhance safety and human performance. This is why human factors analysis has now become an important part of safety and risk management. In spite of this new focus on human factors integration, there is still a lot of confusion and misunderstanding universally on how this can be adopted by companies using a generic framework for consistent application. This is as a result of absence of common approach from industries. To analyze complex novel or existing socio-technical systems, human factors experts tends to apply set(s) of methodologies that will give sufficient human factors information for safer systems design.
This paper presents how optimal human performance and safety can be achieved by incorporating Applied Cognitive Work Analysis (ACWA) methodology as a design and analysis tool within the human factors integration efforts during design/analysis of complex novel or existing socio-technical systems. An exploratory analysis of road system using Applied Cognitive Work Analysis (ACWA) with a view to identifying the constraints faced by road users in interacting with the road systems shows how roadway elements can best be designed to support road users in improving performance and enhancing safety.

We'd like to remind you that digital downloads of individual performances are available for purchase through our online store for $7.00 and are perfect for posting to Facebook or YouTube. Just click "Store" in the menu and find the performance from this year that you'd like to purchase.
Any purchase includes a the ability to download the "Awards Ceremony" for only 1 cent. Just add it to your cart prior to checking out.
Welcome to our little spot on the web. On this site you'll be able to see what we can bring to your party or event. Our company prides itself on our professionalism and going beyond the expectations of our customers. While other companies out there will sell you a base package and then everything you really want is an "upgrade" we decided to be different and give you all that we can offer for one rate. You read that correctly, if we do it then it's included in the cost. There's no hidden fees, no upgrades, no add-ons, no surprises, nothing is left for a rainy day. That means that you can have the bash you wanted without breaking the bank.
Now it would be really easy to say that and only offer a few things, but would be cheating. We offer a variety of things for your event from simple music & MC'ing services to dance lighting, architectural up lighting, karaoke, projection, and fog.
I bet you didn't know that a DJ is there for more than spinning tunes. A well organized event has a lot of moving parts and the DJ is there to help make sure that people get to where they need to be and to help guests anticipate whats going to happen next. Ever been to a wedding where you didn't know someone was going to cut the cake? Maybe you didn't know how far out the wedding party was from the reception? Or maybe it was your wedding and the DJ kept asking you questions about when things were going to happen?
The DJ should know whats happening, when and should help the attendees by keeping the crowd informed and by being your voice so you can enjoy your special day and not worry about it. We meet with couple weeks ahead of time and workout the ceremony, reception, and/or party flows so we don't have to bother you during your event. This allows us to help coordinate on your behalf and to keep things moving when you're enjoying yourself.
So the big dance is coming up and you have to find a DJ. As the student-planners you want someone fun and exciting who knows all the latest viral hits, but who also has a sense of some great slow songs. As the administration you want someone who will abide by basic no-not-play lists and who will keep songs from being played with profanity's or foul messages in them. It's a balancing act and we try to walk the line, we keep our ear to the latest hits, but also temper that with radio edits and lists from well known parental lyric alert sites. Keeping your event fun yet above board. Add to that our light display and power speaker setup and you've got a party any teen would be happy to attend.
A DJ can bring life to any party by involving the crowd, helping to spread your message and by keeping any timetable you have. Beyond that they can judge the crowd and plan the appropriate music for the room. Ever had a DJ who was 20 and thought everyone at your office should be into rap or the latest hip-hop song? We know that your employees have different tastes and as a mixer for your company you need to make all of them happy. In business you know you'll never make everyone happy all the time, we believe heavily in the 50/50 rule. We strive to make 50% of the people happy 50% of the time. Usually doing this ensures that noone walks away upset because their style of music never got played.

What is L-Theanine
Table Of Contents
L-Theanine or otherwise known as Theanine, helps to increase dopamine levels. Increased levels of dopamine result in improved mood and more stamina and endurance during training. It is also able to stimulate the amount of neurotransmitters that are produced, aiding in improving cognitive functions.
L-Theanine Benefits
It is common knowledge that certain teas such as Green tea and Oolong tea help you to relax. This is because they contain L-Theanine. It is this that helps increase the dopamine levels and serotonin levels in the brain. If you didn't know, this is the "feel good" chemical. If you find you are stressed or have some form of anxiety, L-Theanine can really help.
L-Theanine is also one of the supplements that is recommended, if suffering from memory diseases. Often it is given to those suffering from Alzheimer's and Dementia, due to its ability at enhancing cognitive functions. Over the years it has been shown that it can also help people that have a healthy brain, to improve memory and the ability to learn new things easier. One of the reasons why it is so effective is because it can reach the brain directly, as it can cross the blood-brain barrier.
Typically benefits seen from using L-Theanine include;
- Improves Memory
- Boost Cognitive Functions
- Increases The Ability To Learn New Things
- Reduces Stress Levels
- Lowers Anxiety Levels
- Increases Dopamine and Serotonin Levels
L-Theanine Dosage
A common combination is mixing 200mg of L-Theanine with 100mg of Caffeine. I personally try to limit my caffeine intake so I do look to use it without. You can still see some impressive cognitive benefits, even when not using with caffeine. If you are new to L-Theanine, you might want to start off with 100mg. I would recommend having no more than 250mg on a daily basis.
L-Theanine Side Effects
In very rare cases some people have reported headaches or dizziness, when combined with caffeine. This is understandable due to the increases energy rush. Overall though L-Theanine is known to be very safe. It has been approved and designated as a safe ingredient by the FDA in the United States.
I am not medically trained. If you do take any medication or have any health conditions, I would recommend consulting a doctor first.
L-Theanine And Caffeine
The combination of L-Theanine and Caffeine is a well-known nootropic combination, many beginners to Nootropics do use the two together. It is popular as the two work in synergy with each other, they basically compliment one another. Salt and Pepper are a pair on your dinner plate, L-Theanine and Caffeine are the same as a nootropic 🙂
No doubt after you have had a good cup of coffee, you will feel increased attention, focus and a boost in concentration. The drawback is the increased blood pressure, heart rate and the risk of jitteriness. The reason we combine L-Theanine with caffeine is that it helps to reduce heart rate and the blood pressure. It also helps to promote calmness and thus reduce the jitters.
Common Questions
I have received a number of questions regarding Theanine, I thought I would answer those questions below. If you do have any please feel free to post in the comments and ill answer them as quickly as possible.
Can I Buy L-Theanine on Amazon?
Yes it is possible to buy L-Theanine on Amazon, from a number of different companies. The price does vary. I would personally recommend not just purchasing the one nootropic ingredient, instead I would suggest looking into a stack. A good quality supplement that combines different nootropics, will result in some excellent improvements.
Can L-Theanine Help With Anxiety?
Do you suffer from Anxiety, panic attacks or depression? If so L-Theanine could help. It has been proven effective to help these by many researchers and users of it. Anxiety and conditions like it are caused by chemical processes in the brain, the degree of anxiety does vary. L-Theanine helps to reduce the effects of Anxiety as well as also helping those that suffer from depression.
The reason this ingredient helps with Anxiety is because it helps to produce certain neurochemicals that combat anxiety. Chemicals such as serotonin that helps to calm the user. Beta waves in the brain is what causes fear and anxiety, as Theanine helps produce alpha waves, it is a great option to treat depression and anxiety.
L-Theanine and Sleep
L-theanine is one of those ingredients that might be prescribed to those that do suffer from sleep apnea. Even if you do not suffer from sleep apnea but have trouble sleeping, this ingredient can really help. It promotes calmness and helps to reduce blood pressure, thus making it easier for you to sleep.
L-Theanine Vs Suntheanine
You may have heard about Suntheanine when researching Theanine and confused between the two. Suntheanine is another brand that is produced by a Tea manufacture in Japan. It is not as old and has not been used as long as L-Theanine but it has started to get a lot of publicity.
The truth is both are just as effective as each other, one is not better than the other. They both help with anxiety, calmness and improving focus/concentration. The main difference is that Suntheanine tends to be more expensive, by about 30%. Personally I would stick with Theanine. Its cheaper and is just as effective.
Where To Buy L-Theanine
As mentioned it is possible to buy it on Amazon as well as other stores such as eBay, GNC etc. I would personally consider a nootropic supplement, as these tend to combine a number of nootropic ingredients for the best results. Many of which doe contain L-Theanine as it has been proven to work.
L-Theanine Stacks – Nootropic Supplements
Just taking Theanine on its own or with caffeine can give you some incredible results. I do however recommend stacking it with other ingredients for more effective and quicker benefits. The problem is what should you stack it with? There are so many options. There are many nootropic supplements that have been manufactured that do combine L-Theanine, along with some other incredible ingredients. Ingredients that have been proven to offer improved cognitive function.
Not all of these supplements are created equally though, there are some poor quality products out there. Some that might have decent ingredients but just don't provide enough dosage of them. These are often hidden behind a proprietary blend. We have spent several years learning about key nootropic ingredients and reviewing many of the nootropic pills on the market.
Below you will be able to find out how we review these products, as well as what we feel are some of the best nootropic supplements. If you are looking for a product that has been proven to give effective results, take a look at our reviews.

Last week I saw my chance: it was finally snowing! Me and Taria-ann decided to go on a small adventure and go to a beautiful nature area in the south of the Netherlands. In the middle of nowhere there is this cute small cottage/restaurant called 't Hijgend Hert: a perfect spot for a snowy saturday! It didn't go as smooth as we planned though…
Apparently we weren't the only ones that thought it was a good idea to go to this restaurant, which resulted in me having to parallel park in a slippery snowy road with 10 cars waiting behind me. Ups! After that I realized soon enough that it might have not been a smart move to wear my cute OTK heels. In the snow. In a forest. But in my defense: they are cute AF and they matched with my outfit #bloggerproblems. I felt like a true Survivor on Stilettos, right Tari? hahaha
After sliding our way to the restaurant, it was time to warm up! Hot coco and onion soup it is <3
Enjoying a warm drink by a fire place while watching the snow outside… isn't that one of the most beautiful things in life? The perfect winter wonderland.

Libyan Rebels Repel Deadly Gadhafi Offensive, Call for U.N. Airstrikes
Libyan rebels fought intense battles to repel Moammar Gadhafi's forces from the key eastern oil port of Brega Wednesday as the regime's biggest counter-offensive yet left at least 10 people dead.
Opposition fighters said they had finally pushed Gadhafi's men out of the town on the Mediterranean coast after a day of chaotic clashes, even as a government fighter jet fired two missiles near their victory celebrations.
"Brega is liberated. We have forced them to 30 kilometers (22 miles) west," rebel fighter Khalid al-Aqoly told Agence France Presse.
Gadhafi's forces, backed by tanks and heavy weaponry, had attacked at dawn and quickly seized the airport, an oil terminal and a university in Brega, the westernmost town held by the poorly armed Libyan opposition.
While Gadhafi appeared on television to deny there was any opposition to his 41-year rule, the advantage in Brega went back and forth but by the evening the rebels said they had prevailed.
However moments after dozens of men had gathered in a square near the university, flashing victory signs and firing into the air, a fighter jet launched two missiles at them, an AFP reporter witnessed.
The attack caused no casualties but gouged out two craters in a street 15 to 20 meters away.
Rebels chanting "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) ducked for cover and then started firing machine guns at the jet, which streaked low in the sky.
Claiming victory several hours earlier, rebel leaders in the main eastern town of Benghazi said at least 10 people were dead.
"They tried to claim Brega, they ended up with a failure. We kicked them out, the battle is done," said Mustafa Gheriani, the media organizer for the rebels at their headquarters in Benghazi.
"We heard numbers of 10 to 15 martyrs but we are still surveying."
Another huge blast believed to be from an airstrike had rocked the town earlier as rebels surrounded regime fighters who were in the university area and at the gates of the Sirte oil company.
Smoke rose from shell fire and heavy machine gun fire rattled through Brega.
"Now they're limited to the university and the gates of the oil company. Their ammunition is running out. They're firing randomly. We'll take these positions by nightfall," said one rebel fighter who gave his name as Mohammad.
An AFP reporter at one of the two hospitals in Brega, which is 200 kilometers southwest of the rebels' headquarters in Benghazi, saw the bloodied bodies of four young men in a morgue.
Rebel volunteer Mashallah Aqub said: "There are four more bodies in another morgue and at another hospital and other bodies we haven't been able to collect yet."
Anti-regime forces have seized most of the east of the country since the uprising began on February 15 and have taken tentative steps towards setting up a parallel government.
But the opposition forces, mostly comprising military defectors and volunteers, have been watching warily for a fightback.
Oil company official Ahmed Ali said the sound of gunfire had woken him early on Wednesday at his firm's compound.
"I saw mercenaries from Chad who had taken up position at the company gates. I left in a car with a colleague. They stopped the car to search us for weapons before letting us go," Ali said.
A spokesman for the dissidents, Abdel Hafiz Ghoqam, called on "the U.N. or any responsible international body for air strikes on the places and strongholds of the mercenaries."
"We're calling for specific attacks on these strongholds and mercenary forces," he added.
He mentioned Niger, Mali and Kenya as countries from where mercenaries had been recruited as Gadhafi fights to wrest back control of the country.
Meanwhile Gadhafi's forces also launched an airstrike on Ajdabiya, 40 kilometers from Brega, witnesses said.
One witness said the airstrikes had targeted a weapons dump that was also hit two days ago, but residents said it had hit a former army base near the town. There were no casualties, they said.
Gadhafi has lost most of the east of the oil-rich North African country but remains entrenched in the capital Tripoli in the west.

Weld County officers shoot LaSalle man after exchanging fire during 9-hour standoff
November 29, 2013
A 32-year-old LaSalle man was arrested early Wednesday after he was shot while exchanging gunfire with officers from the Weld County SWAT team.
Jeffrey Plahn was taken to North Colorado Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries, LaSalle Police Chief Carl Harvey said. He was expected to be treated and released from the hospital and then booked into Weld County Jail late Wednesday.
Harvey said police responded to the 900 block of Dove Hill Road at 10:31 p.m. Tuesday after they received a call of a suicidal man. Plahn had barricaded himself inside the home owned by his parents. His parents and a grandparent left the home before everything went down, Harvey said.
A neighbor, who asked not to be identified, said police came to his home around midnight and told him to take his family to a far remote corner of the home and stay there until further notice. The man said police returned to let them out at 7 a.m. Police evacuated homes directly adjacent to Plahn's.
"It went on all night," the neighbor said. "I don't know if they were gun shots we heard, but there were a lot of loud bangs."
Plahn has one previous arrest for a DUI in Jefferson County in 2008.

Harvey said he was not involved in the negotiations with Plahn, so he didn't know if he was trying to get the police to shoot him, such as in a suicide-by-cop situation, but he said the call came in as a domestic issue involving an ex-girlfriend.
The neighbor, who just recently moved into the Dove Hill subdivision, said something like this was the last thing he expected when he bought his home.
The quiet area is in one of LaSalle's newer subdivisions on the southwest side of the community. Most lots are empty with many homes still under construction and empty farmland surrounding the homes.
On Wednesday morning, however, all but one of the four houses in the cul-de-sac was roped off with crime tape while investigators searched through the evidence, which was strewn across the street. It included a police ballistic shield that appeared to contain damage from gunshots.
It is not known who the officers were that fired the shots injuring Plahn. The case remains under investigation.
Three departments, LaSalle, Weld County and Greeley-Weld SWAT, responded to the call.
Harvey said no officers were injured. The Greeley-Weld Bomb Squad was also called in to assist with entry into the home, Harvey said.
"We used the robot to gain entry, so it would not jeopardize any officers," Harvey said. "If we ran into him with full artillery, we did not want anyone hurt."
Harvey said several units of tear gas were also used to try to get Plahn out.
Plahn was eventually arrested at 7:30 a.m., Harvey said.

Church was also wonderful and we had a nice tribute to honor all the Mamas. Our new music director also declared it 'social media Sunday' and encouraged us to take pics and snap chat while he himself took selfies with the choir. It was hysterical and so much fun! This week it'll be a little slower, thankfully, and I'll keep little Lillie at the end of the week again. Andi will love that! (I used to keep her full time before I started my job in December) I hope ya'll had a fabulous weekend and again, happy Mama's day to all of the Mamas out there!
