Cheyenne Regional Medical Center located in Wyoming lately discovered the compromise of patient data because of a phishing attack in April.
On or around April 5, 2019, the medical center received notification concerning a potential security breach after detecting suspicious activity associated with employee payroll accounts. About a week after, the medical center found out that the email accounts of employees were compromised.
The investigation showed that the attackers accessed employee email accounts from March 27, 2019 to April 8, 2019. It seems the purpose of the attack was to access the payroll data of employees. However, the attackers may have also viewed patient data included in email accounts.
The types of data possibly accessed by the attackers differed from one patient to another and might have involved names, birth dates, driver's license numbers, Social Security numbers, dates of service, names of provider, patient identification numbers, medical record numbers, medical data, diagnoses, treatment data, and medical insurance details. The financial data or credit card numbers of a very small number of patients were likewise exposed.
The forensic investigators affirmed on August 21, 2019 that hackers potentially accessed patient data. Even though at that period of the investigation, the investigators do not know yet the full extent of the breach. The medical center only obtained a complete list of the affected patients on November 1, 2019.
The center also delayed the sending of notifications because it lacked up-to-date contact details of a considerable number of patients. It took a long time to find the information.
The medical center stated that the majority of patient data is kept in its electronic medical record system. However, staff members securely exchange information through email for management purposes and consultations.
The medical center already sent notification letters by mail to the affected patients and offered them free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services via Kroll.
Cheyenne Regional Medical Center should be given commendation for thoroughly explaining the breach and investigation, including the explanation of the delay in sending notifications for 8 months. All patients would like to be informed quickly when their personal and health data are exposed. However, breach investigations can sometimes take a lot of work and time before patients can be issued to notifications. With a comprehensive explanation, patients can know why it took a long time to be notified about the breach.

Lions FC 3 (Simic 9′; Macuace 16′; Glockner 87′)
Olympic FC 2 (Nazary 62′; Lofthouse 81′)
Substitute Carter Glockner became hero at Lions Stadium when his tap in from Jheison Macuace's run and pass snatched victory for Lions late on, just when it looked as though extra time would beckon following a second half comeback from Olympic FC in front of a bumper crowd.
Lions took an early lead inside 10 minutes when Captain Matija Simic headed in from a corner to put the hosts ahead.
Minutes later, Lions doubled their lead when a neat build up saw Shaun Carlos put a through ball in for Mitch Hore who from the edge of the box, cut the ball back to an unmarked Macuace who powered the ball past Olympic keeper Nicholas Mooney to well and truly put Lions in the box seat.
The hosts continued to dominate the half and should have further extended their lead with Macuace and Carlos both guilty of wasting golden opportunities that would have likely put the game beyond reach of the Olympic.
A late challenge from Danny Kim on his opponent sparked a melee as passions threatened to boil over before Referee Chris Beath calmly took control to settle things. Kim not escaping a caution however.
The visitor's were limited to a couple of half chance during the opening period as they struggled to deal with their more energetic hosts.
Costa Psaros and Alex Smith both forcing Lions stopper Luke Borean into easy saves before Psaros should have pulled one back late in the half. Smith playing a neat ball into the Olympic winger who fired wildly over from close range.
If the first half belonged to Lions, then the second half was all Olympic who emerged with purpose after the break.
An early chance flashed across the face of goal for the visitors with no one able to get on the end of it before they pulled a goal back shortly after the hour mark when Zelfy Nazary, recently announced to represent Afghanistan, was put through on goal, neatly slipping the ball past Borean and into the back of the net.
Olympic were now the dominant force as they went in search of an equaliser but it was Lions who almost struck next when a free kick to the edge of box saw Jean Carlos Solorzano's spectacular scissor kick bounce agonisingly wide of Mooney's left post.
Lions though were under pressure with Olympic looking the more likely to score the next goal and with 10 minutes remaining Jez Lofthouse, who had been perhaps surprisingly left on the subs bench before coming on shortly before the hour, broke through the Lions defence and firing past Borean who could do little to prevent the leveller.
With the visitors back on level terms and controlling the game, extra time looked a formality until a ball played in behind the Olympic defence by Simic released Jheison Macuace, who beat the offside trap and powered his way into the penalty area before laying the ball across the box and beyond the despairing reach of Mooney, for Glockner who had an empty net in front of him, tapping the ball in from 6 yards out to spark wild celebrations with his team mates and the Lions FC bench.
Olympic protested there had been an offside with either Macuace having been offside from the ball in behind their back line or Glockner when receiving the ball from the Lions striker. But their pleas were ignored by the officials as the hosts needed to see out the final few minutes of the game.
After 3 minutes of added time, Referee Beath's final whistle sounded to send Lions into the FFA Cup Round of 16 for just the second time in their history.
It was always expected to be a fiercely contested tie but credit is due to Olympic for their second half display.
Lions will breathe a sigh of relief following this victory where they were second best for the majority of the second half whilst they should have put the tie to bed in the opening 45 minutes.
But that's cup football and now the Richlands side will eagerly await the Round of 16 draw to see who they face next up.
Moony's Remarks:
"We should have been four up after the first half. We were completely dominant and in control at that point but credit to Olympic, it was a game of two halves and they came out strongly. I felt we had a couple of key injuries which needed substitutions and they ran all over us."
"To be fair, at 2-2 there only looked to be one winner but we found that moment of quality and were able to go on and hold out until the end. It doesn't matter how we get there, we're in the next round and Olympic aren't, we're happy."
Asked on who he'd like in the next round…
"I'd like an interstate or an A-League team. I want it to be a big one."
Team line-ups:
Lions FC
Borean (gk), Thompson, Jarrard, Simic, Reardon, Hore, Solorzano, Brindell-South, Macuace, Carlos, Kim.
Subs: Cuminao (rgk), Maher, Glockner, Cosgrove, Shepherd.
Olympic FC:
Mooney (gk), Stefanutto, Waters, Whyte, Mundy, Dais, Sanders, Psaros, Nazary, Lasm, Smith.

This Eco-Friendly Nightstand Holds What You Need Without Taking Up Floor Space
By Elaine Selna
If you live in a college dorm, a cramped city apartment, or just want to embrace the minimalist lifestyle, a bulky nightstand might take up a bit more space than you're willing to part with. But one model promises to take up only about as much space as a cafeteria tray—and it doesn't even require any assembly or tools to get it in place.
After reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo, Chris Eng, a former Disney Imagineer (Theme Park Design), was inspired to create the BedShelfie, a clip-on shelf that attaches right to your bed and can hold your laptop, coffee, and book, all without taking up any space on your floor. He began a Kickstarter campaign for the eco-friendly bed shelf in September 2017 and ended up with almost 350 backers and over $18,000. Four years later, the company has a shop on Amazon featuring multiple models, thousands of reviews, and user ratings that are consistently above four stars.
Buy the BedShelfie Original on Amazon
Each BedShelfie is designed in Los Angeles, made of bamboo, holds up to 15 pounds, and is available in multiple colors. The shelves use clamps or the mattress, depending on the bed, to stay in place, so no screws or power tools are needed to set it up.
For different types of frames, there are particular BedShelfies that will work better than others. If you have a rail frame, the Original, Minimalist, Circle, and Plus versions are suggested since they attach using clamps. For those with flat bases, the Slide is going to be your best option. If you need a water bottle by the bed, the Essential and the Original even have cupholders.
Check out the BedShelfie on Amazon and get a $5 coupon off the Plus model.

The duck pond is about to get a whole lot more chaotic as Numskull launches The Suicide Squad TUBBZ collectibles.
TUBBZ cosplaying duck figurines represent characters from popular movies, TV shows, video games, and comics from Jurassic Part to Back to the Future and Lord of the Rings. The Suicide Squad collection joins these other ducks on the pond with four unique ducks. You can catch a glimpse of them in the following video, and find full descriptions below.
Harley Quinn: She is just as irrational and unpredictable even as a duck. Her hair is in plaits, she is in her signature red/black clothing, and she is clearly up to no good. She has crazy thoughts on her mind.
Bloodsport: There's no doubt the other ducks are going to be in fear of this marksman. As usual he's on a mission. Don't get in his way. He is in his new hi-tech suit and he's going to use it as only he can. He's armed and dangerous.
Peacemaker: If anyone can restore calm and peace, it's this guy. He wants peace at whatever cost. He'll even fight for it. His helmet is firmly in place and the red jacket is on. He's good to go.
TDK aka The Detachable Kid: Well, he has one hell of a superpower, removing his own limbs and turning them into weapons! He's easy to spot, with a twisted limb ready for action and his striking green suit complete with mask.
If collectible ducks are your jam, or you're just a fan of The Suicide Squad, be sure to grab the collection here.

Port KC is one of Kansas City's most powerful economic development agencies, often handing out lucrative tax breaks, but some critics say it has too much clout and reforms are needed to give elected leaders more oversight.
CEO Jon Stephens understands the concerns at a time when the new mayor and the public are skeptical about incentives for wealthy developers. Still, he strongly defends his agency's activities as essential for Kansas City's vitality and job creation.
"We are focused on Kansas City economic development, Kansas City transportation and jobs and affordable housing," Stephens told KCUR's Up to Date. "We all share the issues of workforce housing, affordable housing, quality job development and redevelopment of neighborhoods that are struggling because they have not had reinvestment."
Stephens, who assumed his position 10 months ago, acknowledged that Port KC is an obscure agency that until recently has "flown under the radar." It can grant generous tax abatements, borrow money, condemn property and set up special taxing districts without city council or voter approval.
But Stephens said he was hired in part to bring more transparency to the organization's deals. He said he and his unelected board are committed to working closely with Mayor Quinton Lucas and the city council on shared goals.
"There's a lot more focus," he said, "on making sure that we clearly articulate the advantages and benefits of Port KC and what we do collaboratively and in partnership with the community."
What is Port KC?
Originally known as the Port Authority, Port KC was established in 1977 with broad powers to promote residential and commercial development, business and industrial parks, terminals, port and commerce facilities, multi-modal rail and freight assets and to redevelop the downtown riverfront.
Despite its name, its state-established boundaries extend far past actual port locations to include everything within Kansas City's city limits.
It has a nine-member citizen board of commissioners appointed by the mayor. But it is a subdivision of the state of Missouri and isn't directly accountable to the city council or to voters.
Key projects
- Berkley Riverfront. Port KC is overseeing plans for a 55-acre urban village with offices, apartments, retail and amenities like the existing Bar K dog park and restaurant space. As part of that initiative, Stephens said Port KC has announced plans for a $15 million apartment project of up to 75 units, more than half reserved as affordable, that could open in 2021.
- Richards Gebaur. Port KC oversees and manages nearly 500,000-square feet of office and industrial space at a commerce park at the former Richards Gebaur Air Force Base in south Kansas City. It also operates a port terminal in the West Bottoms and has interests in other large industrial distribution facilities.
- Downtown and Country Club Plaza. Far from any waterfront site, Port KC also awards tax abatement and other financing for projects such as the redevelopment in 2016 of the Board of Trade Building near the Plaza to retain the Populous architecture firm. Earlier this year, the Port KC board approved an 18-year tax exemption for the $85 million redevelopment of the City Center Square office tower at 1100 Main St.
Stephens said he wasn't with Port KC when the Populous deal was reached. He said the City Center Square project revitalizes an underused 1970s-era building into high-class offices that will retain quality jobs downtown.
Bypassing city council
Critics have suggested that developers approach Port KC to circumvent the politically charged incentives debate at City Hall. But Stephens pushed back on that assertion. He also noted that Port KC is in agreement with a much-heralded bi-state truce, in which both Missouri and Kansas agreed not to offer subsidies to poach companies across the state line.
The most recent deal that has raised eyebrows involves Port KC considering issuing up to $25 billion in bonds over 35 years to support a Google data center in Clay County.
Google's initial investment could be $600 million but the project is only expected to generate about 30 jobs at the start. Google's investment in Kansas City isn't a sure thing, but if it happens Port KC could issue bonds providing a property tax exemption for 25 years.
Stephens countered critics who don't believe Kansas City would really benefit by offering a hugely profitable company tax breaks to create so few jobs. Data centers generate millions of dollars in energy taxes, Stephens said, and can bring in highly skilled, high-paying contracting jobs that service the centers. He said the project would also generate payments in lieu of taxes benefitting the North Kansas City School District.
Cities aggressively pursue these data centers, Stephens said, so having Port KC help land the Google project would be valuable to show that Kansas City and Missouri are "open to tech development, tech growth, tech investment and tech jobs for the future."
Some observers have suggested that Lucas should seek the resignations of the current Port KC board members so he can appoint people sensitive to the overuse of developer subsidies. Former Mayor Sly James also sought resignations from citizen boards after he was elected so he could appoint his own representatives.

ICE has launched an outreach program targeting female genital mutilation (FGM) at JFK Airport to safeguard young women from the outlawed practice, according to an ICE news release.
The pilot program, called "Operation Limelight USA," aims to "Safeguard and prevent young girls from being subjected to FGM by informing passengers travelling to high-prevalence countries about the U.S. laws governing FGM and the potential criminal, immigration, and child protective consequences of transporting a child to another country for the purposes of FGM," according to ICE.
Special Agent Angel M. Melendez describeed FGM as an "intrusive and unnecessary practice against young girls" and said that ICE will "arrest and prosecute anyone looking to perform this act or transport young girls for such a nefarious procedure."

California bows to courts, releases gay man who killed high school taunter
A confluence of state and federal court decisions, both concluding that the California parole system had violated the federal due process rights of convicted murderer Robert Rosenkrantz by continuing to deny him parole after he had served more than the minimum length of his sentence, resulted in the man's release to the custody of his family on August 5.
On August 1, U.S. District Judge Gary Allen Feess in Los Angeles approved a magistrate's report recommending that the court grant a writ of habeas corpus requiring Rosenkrantz's release. Just a few days later, the California Supreme Court refused to override a ruling issued earlier by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Wesley, whose decision was based on a similar legal analysis.
Rosenkrantz was 18 years old, closeted, and had just graduated high school in June 1985. He was celebrating by having sex with a male companion in his parents' beach house, when his younger brother Joey and a friend, Steven Redman, a classmate of Rosenkrantz, who suspected he was gay, arrived to spy on him. Redman, carrying a flashlight, kicked in the door of the beach house, yelled, "Get the fuck out of here you faggots," and struck Rosenkrantz with the flashlight, breaking his nose. At the same time, Joey, who had a stun gun, burned his brother's hand. Rosenkrantz ran out to his car and retrieved a BB gun and used it to try to prevent Redman and Joey from leaving the beach house, but they phoned Rosenkrantz's father and, when he showed up, told him they had seen Rosenkrantz with another man who had his pants down.
Rosenkrantz insisted to his father he was not gay and that the two were mistaken, but his father, angry, threw him out of the house. The youth spent the next few days living in his car, brooding about his situation, and then obtained an Uzi machine gun, did some target practice, and went to confront Redman and demand that he recant what he had told Rosenkrantz's father. "Redman refused and continued to taunt and ridicule petitioner," wrote the federal magistrate. Press accounts report that Redman again called Rosenkrantz a "faggot." Enraged, Rosenkrantz pumped ten rounds into Redman, killing him, then fled for a month before finally surrendering to police.
The state sought a first degree murder conviction, but the jury, evidently having some empathy for Rosenkrantz's situation, would only go for second degree, resulting in a sentence of 15 years to life, plus two years for using a firearm. Rosenkrantz proved to be a model prisoner, compiling a perfect record, and earning first an associate degree and then a bachelor's degree in prison. He also completed every available therapy and counseling program, earned several vocational certificates, and garnered glowing recommendations from prison officials in support of his applications for parole once he had served his minimum time.
But Rosenkrantz ran into a stone wall when it came to gaining release, despite winning several preliminary rulings from parole boards and courts. California's restrictive parole system gives the governor final say on such matters, and there Rosenkrantz ran into trouble. In 2002, the state Supreme Court upheld a decision by Democratic Governor Gray Davis to deny parole, based mainly on the nature of the original offense, characterized at various times as a cold-blooded, execution-style murder. Rosenkrantz's parole appeals became notorious in the California gay community, where many people came to understand the nature of the provocation and strain under which Rosenkrantz was operating 21 years ago.
Ultimately, what impressed the state and federal judges who ruled this summer was the failure of parole authorities or the government to take account of the changes in Rosenkrantz as a result of his incarceration. By continuing to deny parole based entirely on the nature of the offense, the courts found, the state was depriving Rosenkrantz of his right to due process of law, since the governing statutes provide that a convict who has served the minimum time required under his sentence is entitled to release if his rehabilitation results in his no longer being a danger to the community. It was clear to the judges that Rosenkrantz had accepted responsibility for what he had done, understood and acknowledged that it was wrong, and transformed himself to become a useful, non-threatening member of society.
Judge Feess' decision in federal court ordered the state to release Rosenkrantz on reasonable terms of parole by the end of August. The subsequent state Supreme Court order, denying a stay of Judge Wesley's state court release order, resulted in Rosenkrantz quickly being released to his family, his parents having long since accepted him as a gay son. He has a computer-related job waiting for him.
The state can appeal both of the decisions on the merits, but in the interim Rosenkrantz is finally free on bail, and it seems unlikely that the appellate courts would find fault with these decisions. Both rulings make clear that the state's procedures in Rosenkrantz's case have to date amounted to nullification of the jury's determination that he was not guilty of first degree murder—and therefore is entitled to parole upon a proper showing of his rehabilitation.

Shallow Hazard and Gas Escape Systems Modelling from 3D Seismic
By Tom Wooltorton, GeoTeric
Shallow hazards in offshore oilfield developments often come in the form of gas chimneys and shallow gas emplacements, and can endanger the integrity of rig or platform foundations as well as ongoing drilling operations. Therefore, mapping them accurately prior
to any drilling or development operations can be critical for safety and reducing costs due to interruptions. An analysis was carried out to determine if 3D seismic, interrogated in a data driven but interpreter guided fashion, could be used to build a subsurface model revealing in detail where gas escape chimneys feed shallow gas accumulations, allowing the shallow hazards to not only be mapped accurately and risk reduced, but also inform the risk of trap leakage. Modern highresolution 3D seismic is often more than adequate to locate such features and capture their extents, and is available from the main reservoir interpretation at
no extra cost. Its large areal coverage can locate and prioritize targets for ultra-high resolution shallow hazard surveys. Additionally, complex feature morphologies can
be captured using semi-automated techniques that are impossible to define using manual interpretation on a vertical slice-based approach. A dataset over the Maari field, Taranaki basin, offshore New Zealand was used for the analysis. The survey has a lateral resolution of 25m by 12.5m and a vertical sample rate of 4ms. The reservoir is composed of several Miocene and Eocene pay sands layered in a four-way closure, and although the field was discovered in 1983, it was not produced from until 2009, due to complexities of commercialization requiring many injection and production wells. Issues included the
relatively shallow depth of the reservoir (1300m TVD), cold temperatures and waxy oil. In the Moki sandstone alone six horizontal production wells with ~11,000m of section have been drilled, accompanied by three deviated water injectors. This complexity increases the importance of a thorough subsurface understanding of hazards and their geometries, and the significance of shallow hazards has been identified throughout.

OPINION: Twitter Does Not Talk About Girls Basketball Games
When a team wins a lot, you expect there to be big crowds and people who are excited to be there, but for our teams it's different. The girl's basketball team wins a considerable amount and has amazing players on their team, but they get mentioned less than the boy's team. If you go on Twitter and search McIntosh Chiefs Basketball, you see the boys' team scores from each quarter of the game and their stats. If you search for the girl's team, all Twitter shows are who they beat. The student section isn't great about supporting the girl's team either. It's easy easier to understand why high school students would rather see the boy's team play rather than the girls. It might be more fun for them or maybe they have a crush on one of the guys on the team; we've all been there. However, it's not ok for adults that run social media and promotion for both the girl's and the boy's teams to post more about the boy's team than the girls.
Maya Nowell, a sophomore on the Varsity team, says, "it's disrespectful and sexist."
"It's not fair how the girls work just as hard as the boys and still get less recognition," says junior Bailey Wagenknecht. "I work just as hard as any of the boys and I hype up my team to try and get people to come but everyone still wants to go to the boy's games."
I think that there should either be a person who cares about both teams equally and someone who will attend both games.
Christina Cheri, a senior on the girl's team said, "I think we work just as hard and put in the same number of hours, so we deserve the same kind of recognition."
There are colleges all around that go on social media pages to see what the school has to say about the players, but if there is nothing about them then viewers might think that they aren't a good team, meaning senior girl athletes like Cheri won't get a lot of attention from college recruiters. There needs to be someone who can go out and make the girl's team noticed just as much as the guys.

Montreal musicians JORDANN and MUNYA celebrate their best qualities in a multilingual collaboration.
JORDANN and MUNYA have a lot in common. They both hail from Montreal; the two musicians trained in classical music while growing up; and it appears that they share a love for Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. "Naoko" – their latest release that shares a name with a character in Miyazaki's most recent film The Wind Rises – blends multiple cultures with varied emotions in a multilingual, multidimensional single.
Jordan Hébert, who performs under the name JORDANN, has been steadily releasing smooth, easygoing singles since 2017. In 2018, Men I Trust's Dragos Chiriac produced "Ashore," his first single in English. Since then, he released debut EP Connecting Visitors to Fun, which further established the singer-songwriter as a master of chill bops. Sonically, JORDANN pairs perfectly with MUNYA, a powerful artist in her own right whose hits including "It's All About You" and "Boca Chica" have found a home on the playlists of every tastemaker worth their salt. However, where JORDANN's music revels in a dark smoothness, MUNYA's signature sound celebrates pep, fast tempos and psychedelic touches. Together, the pair create a track that contains layers of JORDANN's coolness with MUNYA's upbeatness. "Naoko" immediately features JORDANN's relaxed vibe, with a smooth baseline that grooves and moves throughout the track. MUNYA brings the pop with the inclusion of a playful drumbeat and bright synths.
"Naoko" chronicles a relationship that's continuing on despite the challenges created through distance. The pair harmonize throughout, singing in one evocative section, "We've parted ways though the air still flows / I hear the winds you play and my heart still soars / I keep trying to rephrase what I overhear / It can be such a maze but I volunteer." French lyrics are also peppered in alongside English words. "Naoko" conveys that overcoming difficulties – whether it be physical separation, a language barrier, or something else entirely – can be possible with deep love and perseverance. Still, there is a melancholic uncertainty that shines through in the single, leaving listeners to wonder if the couple portrayed will really pull through.

The pain of losing them is the price we pay for the privilege of knowing them and sharing their lives . . .
We thank those people who have contributed to our work with recent donations In Loving Memory and in Honor and Appreciation of the following beloved family members and friends, both those who have passed away and those who are with us.
In honor of International Respect for Chickens Day and in memory of all the birds who suffer the most at the hands of a brutal, cruel, and greedy poultry industry, I am sending you this donation. I am trying to light my own tiny candle for the dark days we face for the disasters inflicted and being inflicted on the flora and fauna of this tortured planet by the sociopaths of our species. – Aaron Rubin
My donation is in celebration of Jessica Fomalont's birthday! – Erin Marcus
My donation to UPC is on behalf of Christie Wisniewski. – Jeremiah Arias
My donation is in honor of International Respect for Chickens Day. It's wonderful that you are doing all you do to help the chickens and other birds who are innocent and whose voices need our Voice to be heard. – Howard Schultz
I am proud to make this donation in memory of my husband, Retired Coast Guard Officer, John E. Martin, Jr., who passed away May 5, 2016. – Joan Martin
I am also donating in memory of Martitu, a wonderful, 8-year-old rooster. This sweet guy passed away peacefully on May 30, 2017. He was a mixed Cochin & Silkie. – Joan Martin
In honor of our beloved hen Hope, whose big heart gave out too soon. She was abandoned in a playground as a youngster, and it was our good fortune to adopt her. Bred for the meat industry, she could barely walk at first, but with guidance from UPC and others, we learned how to take care of her. As she gained strength and confidence, she was so joyful in her experience of a chickeny life: stretching her wings in the warm sun, digging for worms, a chicken friend. She gave and taught us so much. Miss you, Hopester. – Carol and Scott Bartram
In honor of Nero, Fredericka, Julie, Nathaniel, Leonard, and Bertha, remembered forever and sadly missed. – Paul Deane

I don't know about you guys, but I'm always down to try a new brunch spot when I'm traveling. Over the weekend I went to D.C. to check out the Westend Bistro's brunch menu and definitely indulged a bit. Well more than a bit, but it was totally worth it.
The Westend Bistro is a sleek yet casual bistro and bar located in The Ritz Carlton, Washington, D.C.'s Westend location. I love this part of D.C. and in fact, this is my second time visiting The Ritz Carlton, Washington, D.C. within the past month. I live in Williamsburg, Virginia but I'm a city girl at heart and I love visiting nearby cities every chance I get.
Backstory: I was in D.C. the first weekend of November to celebrate my 30th birthday and wanted to grab breakfast in the west end area, nearby where I was staying, before I left the city. The atmosphere from the window is what initially drew me into the Westend Bistro. Even though breakfast had ended an hour before I arrived, I was still able to order from the breakfast menu. How amazing, right? (read more about my birthday experience here) My meal was pretty great and not to mention the level of service was excellent. So naturally, I jumped at the opportunity to come back for breakfast during actual breakfast hours and the Westend Bistro did not disappoint.
This time I went with a friend and we ordered the steak & eggs and the kale grilled cheese. The steak and eggs came with one of my favorite breakfast sides, potatoes! And the kale grilled cheese was cooked to perfection with a fried egg on top. Chef Alvin Dela Cruz surprised us with two special treats: the blueberry ricotta pancakes and the infamous huevos rancheros.
One of the things I love about the Westend Bistro is that the ingredients from the menu are locally sourced from nearby farms. It's truly a farm to table restaurant. (which made me feel better about indulging haha!)
I know I talk a lot about budget travel on my blog and while I love finding a great deal what I also appreciate is VALUE. Value is everything!
The people at The Ritz Carlton, Washington, D.C. and the Westend Bistro are what truly made this experience unforgettable. If you're ever in the area, you definitely have to check it out.
Have you guys ever visited the Westend Bistro? Leave a comment below!
*Disclaimer: I was provided two free meals in return for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed herein are my own.

Things are moving on quickly for Little Jackie, the amazing musical partnership between Imani Coppola and a bloke. 'The World Should Revolve Around Me' is being played on the radio and all sorts.
The video — which does a good job of capturing whatever it is that makes the song so brilliant — is also online.
Her label have also set up a thing where you can get a free download of
one of Little Jackie's songs. You have to enter your details but it's
probably one of those things where you can enter any old shit in the
boxes and you'll still get through to the download link. If you're
interested the link is at http://www.parlophone.co.uk/jackie.
Here's the video.
We had a chat on the phone with Imani the other day. She had just woken up. Stay tuned to Popjustice to see what we manage to salvage from it…

Traditional approaches to the construction site layout problem have been focused mainly on rectilinear facilities where the importance proximity measures are mainly based on Cartesian distances between the centroids of the facilities. This is a fair abstraction of the problem; however it ignores the fact that many facilities on construction sites assume non-rectilinear shapes that allow for better compaction within tight sites. The main focus of this research is to develop a new approach of modeling site facilities to surpass limitations and inefficiencies of previous models and to ensure a more realistic approach to construction site layout problems. A construction site layout optimization model was developed that can suit both static and dynamic site layouts. The developed model is capable of modeling any rectilinear and non-rectilinear site shapes, especially splines, since it utilizes a parametric modeling software. The model also has the ability to mimic the "dynamic" behavior of the objects' shapes through the introduction and development of three different algorithms for dynamic shapes; where the geometrical shapes representing site facilities automatically modify their geometrical forms to fit in strict areas on site. Moreover, the model provides different proximity measures and distance measurement techniques rather than the normal centroidal Cartesian distances used in most models. The new proximity measures take into consideration actual movement between the facilities including any passageways or access roads on site. Furthermore, the concept of selective zoning was introduced and a corresponding algorithm was provided; where the concept significantly enhances optimization efficiency by minimizing the number of solutions through selection of pre-determined movement zones on site. Soft constraints for buffer zones around the site facilities were developed as well. The site layout modeling was formulated on commercial parametric modeling tools (Rhino® and Grasshopper®) and the optimization was performed through genetic algorithms. After each of the algorithms was verified and validated, a case study of a real dynamic site layout planning problem was made to validate the comprehensive model combining all of the modules together. Different proximity measures and distance measurement techniques were considered, along with different static and dynamic geometrical shapes for the temporary facilities. The model produced valid near-optimum solutions, a comparison was then made between the layout that is produced with the model and the layout that would have been produced by other models to demonstrate the capabilities and advantages of the produced model.

A subscription model for hotels where customers pay a monthly fee to utilise rooms and facilities has been met with much curiosity but also limited interest among Asian hoteliers TTG Asia spoke to.
The business potential of the model was earlier discussed during a HICAP conference panel on October 23, where Pan Pacific Hotels Group's (PPHG) CEO Choe Peng Sum expressed support for it.
Choe said the model would supplement the group's existing loyalty programmes, and would be a natural evolution of loyalty building with a growing emphasis on communities.
He opined that customers now seek greater flexibility, value savings and instant rewards – needs that the subscription model could satisfy instantly, compared to the delayed gratification offered by loyalty redemption programmes.
But for the model to work, a "mindset shift" is needed.
"Hotel stays are perishables – pay as you stay. The idea of pay now stay later through a paid membership is a foreign concept. It is a new wave for the hospitality sector, catering to a new generation of travellers, which players must recognise and come on board to," he said, citing Inspirato as an example of a hospitality company that has launched a subscription-based service in 2019, offering its subscribers access to over 60,000 vacation homes, hotels and resorts around the world.
Choe told TTG Asia that the model could work for PPHG, which has "a plethora of high quality restaurants and bars in our hotels globally".
"There is a huge potential for us to build up a community through our portfolio of hotels, resorts, services suites and dining outlets. We are exploring different models," he said, pointing to PPHG's dining collection in Singapore as a best fit – "a low hanging fruit" – for the subscription model.
"With five hotels here, we have a collection of close to 20 restaurants and bars. A shrewd next step would be to build a strong community of food lovers and diners through a subscription model to our Pan Pacific Dining Collection. Other possibilities could stretch to subscription models for regional business travels for SMEs and hybrid meeting spaces," he elaborated.
However, TTG Asia's conversations with other hoteliers in the region found less enthusiasm. Several hoteliers said the subscription model was still fairly new and unfamiliar.
A Hong Kong-based hotelier who requested anonymity, said it was not a concept the company has considered, or will likely consider in the immediate future.
Another hotel general manager in Hong Kong suggested that the subscription model could work better in Singapore, as the city-state has a strong presence of regional headquarters of multinational companies – a frequent-travelling segment that would find the concept beneficial.
However, he feared limited benefits for the hotel deploying the subscription model. "There is no flexibility. We'll be in trouble if all our subscribers decide to come and stay on the same week of a month," he said.
Instead of a subscription model, the general manager is pushing the sale of hotel coupons with face value, which companies can purchase and give away to staff as a form of performance bonus or reward.
Venessa Koo, COO of Taiwan headquartered Silks Hotel Group, also expressed uncertainty around the subscription model, saying that it will require a "very long-term commitment" to get off the ground.
She, too, is utilising a voucher system, which customers can buy in advance with discounts and use before expiry. This system is common in Taiwan, with Silks itself starting the voucher programme in 2011.
"Instead of collecting a monthly fee, it's just one-off purchase," Koo said, adding that this mitigates administrative problems that the subscription model could bring, such as resolution of unused rooms by the end of the month.
Koo said Silks is unlikely to adopt the model because "we need to make sure that we look after our guests' interest and our own interest without making them feel that they are being scammed or taken advantage of".

The Korean/U.S. free-trade deal seems to be coming to fruition. An agreement reached in 2007 under President George W. Bush was never ratified. President Obama ran for office saying the unratified free trade agreements with Korea, Panama, and Colombia had flaws and needed renegotiating. The deal with Korea is the first to get President Obama's seal of approval, although both Congress and the legislature in Korea must still approve it before it takes effect.
The two-year renegotiation yielded very little. The Koreans will liberate their auto market a bit more slowly; the United States will be able to keep tariffs on pickup trucks a bit longer.
The pork producers in America took it on the chin. The new deal delays tariff-free access to the Korean market the original agreement would have provided — basically the sop Korea demanded for going through the charade of an almost pointless renegotiation.
The President's problem has been that unions, especially the United Auto Workers union, have been deeply opposed to expanded trade. The unions were big supporters of the President and he has not been eager to cross them.
Perhaps the deep losses the Democrats took in the recent mid-term elections have begun to sink in. The Republicans claim the election was a rebuke of President Obama's policies. The President has said the voters were reacting to the bad economic climate. In either case, the President needs to act quickly to get the economy moving robustly if he hopes to win reelection.
Unions that work in one particular industry, such as the United Auto Workers, have interests different from those of the general public. Expanded trade, although it clearly hurts individual industries and workers on balance, is an enormous force for prosperity and job creation.
So the President's sudden focus on trade is a very good sign for the economy. Passing the bills, though, will also require presidential leadership. In a time of recession many voters fear trade; they will need the President to reassure them this is a path toward prosperity.
The deli department is an intriguing actor when it comes to government relations. Other departments have an intense focus on the matter: The United Fresh Produce Association is a D.C.-based trade association with government relations as its centerpiece. The American Meat Institute is also in D.C. The Food Marketing Institute and the National Restaurant Association are highly focused organizations both in the D.C. area and both see government relations as their raison d'être.
Deli is not without representation. The International Dairy Deli Bakery Association, though based in Madison, WI, contracts with D.C. law firms and lobbyists to track issues.
The nature of the deli industry makes government relations a problematic activity. Most companies in produce, for example, are 100 percent produce companies. In the deli arena, a lot of suppliers have divisions that are giants within the deli space. Those same divisions, however, are but tiny fractions of the whole corporation. Important deli players, such as Tyson, Nestlé, and Conagra, have interests that go far beyond the deli — and these interests rule their own lobbying agendas.
It is very difficult for the deli industry to get together the kind of PAC money that often means political weight in Washington. Still, it is important the deli industry speak up, and an issue such as the importance of trade is a great place to start.
In our deli departments, the most delectable of the world's foods are gathered. To stand in a modern deli, with its sushi bar, Mexican food bar, pizza program, rotisserie and fried chicken, massive displays of prepared foods and salads, sandwich programs, sliced meats and cheeses, smoked fish and specialty cheeses…to stand in the midst of such delicious bounty is to stand amidst a great triumph of civilization — the ingathering of so much, for so many at such reasonable costs.
Yet such a grand offering depends crucially on trade. Our producers in America must export so others can know the great cornucopia America produces, and we must import to bring the specialties that match our ethnically diverse population and to expose all our consumers to the best the world has to offer.
While we exchange food, we also exchange ideas and so it is, that right in America, we produce many foods in the style used in countries around the world.
All this exchanging is a great engine of economic growth and prosperity, creating jobs and entrepreneurial opportunity in America and around the world. Indeed all this trade may even help countries to understand one another better and this, combined with mutual dependency created through trade, may even be a force for world peace.
When the free trade agreements with Korea, Panama, and Colombia come up for a vote letting your representative or senator know your job depends on a world built around trade is a way of pushing for a world good for the deli and good for us all.

Developing Leadership Skills For IT Professionals
Over the years, I have worked with a number of born leaders who used their natural charisma and people's skills to build powerful, goal oriented teams. I have also worked with people who exceeded all expectations while working as an individual contributor, but never really excelled in a leadership role. It is not that these people lacked the ambition or credentials to become a c-suite executive, they just struggled in developing the kind of skills you need to become a leader.
In my opinion, exemplary leadership requires a level of courage, discipline, and persistence that few people can muster. For instance, there are some things that we should do, that we know we should do, but choose not to because they are too hard, because they would require us to leave our comfort zones. In other cases, there are things that we don't do because we honestly believe they absolutely will not make a difference when in fact they would.
Hence the world is short on leaders. I truly believe that financial growth after some point does not come from how technical you are, it comes from your leadership quotient.
"Managers do things right. Leaders do the right thing." -Warren Bennis
So what kind of skills do you need to take the mantle of leadership?
In the IT sector, you need to have the soft skills to build relationships, inspire others, communicate your ideas clearly, develop plans and execute them to get the results you need within a deadline. A recent survey conducted in the UK reported that 50% candidates for leadership roles lack leadership skills. The results may be different if the same study was conducted in the US, but I am sure the number of qualified and experienced candidates who lack leadership skills would still be high. So what's the reason behind this?
IT professionals lack leadership skills because they do not think of leadership skills as important. They focus on the technical side of things, and invest all of their efforts and time dedicated to self-improvement to stay updated with the new developments in their area of technical expertise. They sign up for online courses and get certifications in the latest technologies, but they do not work on the soft skills needed to break the glass ceiling. Soft skills are the hardest to master, and I recommend all IT professionals to work on work on them especially if they have the desire to grow financially and professionally
So what leadership skills should you work on as an IT professional?
Leaders Influence, Motivate & Drive Behaviors
Most people think of leadership as getting people to accept your authority. Leadership is not about authority, it is about getting people to believe in what you believe, it is about getting them onboard with your vision.
Motivate People
Ideally, you would want to hire people that are already motivated, but we are humans and go through personal and emotional roller coasters. Hence, you have to motivate people and one way to do that is by empowering them. You share your intent with them, and ask them to make decisions as long as they will help them achieve organizational goals. You give them the authority to green-light decisions. People want to be self-directed and they want to achieve mastery in what they do, if you empower them, they will move mountains for you.
Understand People's Psychology To Influence Behaviors
They teach Maslow's hierarchy, the effect of positive and negative reinforcement, and how to motivate people to exhibit favorable behavior in every college. However, theoretical knowledge does not translate into a real life work environment so easily, if that were the case, the world would be full of great leaders. In my experience, you have to understand the motivations of every one in your team. Everyone has a goal in mind, some know it clearly while others have it buried deep inside their subconscious mind. You need to find what the person wants, learn how you can help them achieve their goals, let them know that their goals are important to you, and communicate what you want them to do in return.
The Science Of Persuasion
Leaders have to be persuasive. Not only do they have to drive specific behavior from their team, they also have to constantly deal with people that do not fall in their domain. They have to negotiate deals, make tough calls, and convince others to do things they may not want to do. All of this requires persuasion. Persuasion, just like any other skill can be learned. Out of the six shortcuts to persuasion, I believe reciprocity and consensus to be the most important factors that drive results.
How Leaders Inspire
Leaders inspire others to action by appealing to their instincts. When you understand the goals, and know why you are doing what you are doing, there is no stopping you. History is littered with tales of underdogs taking down the goliaths of their time simply because they were more passionate in their pursuit of their goals. If you give someone a quantifiable goal to achieve within a deadline, and promise them a monetary reward, they may or may not achieve that goal. If you inspire someone to achieve a goal, and tell them why achieving that goal is important, they will exceed your expectations and achieve the goal before the deadline.
Discover Your Strengths And Those Of Others
Life is an endless journey of discovery, and the most important discovery of all is to discover yourself. A leader has to not only know his strengths and weaknesses, he also has to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the members of his team. The best way to do that is to develop an environment of trust and ask them what they can and cannot do. In most cases, they will tell you exactly where they are lacking and how you can help them.
Create a Culture of Accountability
Without a culture of accountability, nothing will get done. You can inspire people, turn them into the best versions of themselves, and still come up short as a leader. Productivity is driven by accountability. You have to appreciate good performance as soon as you see it, and you have to take corrective measures when someone drops the ball. If people in your organization feel like their performance isn't being monitored, they will lose the motivation to impress you. If they feel like others around them are getting away with less-than-desirable performance, they will start losing trust in your ability to lead.
Drive Performance Through Goal Management
When it comes to performance management, SMART goals are the way to go. People need to know exactly what is expected of them, and while you want them to be innovative and require minimum direction, you have to hold them to certain standards. Goals keep your team focused and aligned with the direction of the organization.
Develop Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is knowing the emotional triggers of your team. You need to know what inspires your team members, what drives them, and how they will react in certain situations. You should also be self-aware and know about your emotional triggers. The first step is to be self-aware, and the next step is to be aware of the needs of your team.
So if you are an Information Technology professional and want to become a leader, it is a good idea to invest in yourself – start working on your soft skills, leverage your strengths, and look into leadership traits that you need to develop to advance your career to the next level.

Jeff Bridges and Isabelle Bridges-Boesch's 'Daddy Daughter Day'
Santa Barbara-Based Actor and Daughter Publish Children's Book in Time for October 11 Holiday
In addition to being a legendary actor, heartfelt activist, competent musician, and cultural icon of California, Jeff Bridges is a mighty fine father. So much so, in fact, that his oldest daughter, Isabelle Bridges-Boesch, wrote a children's book about it called Daddy Daughter Day, in which her father contributed illustrations and handwriting.
Raised in Los Angeles until the Northridge earthquake hit their home with a "vengeance" — "we never slept there again," she explained — Bridges-Boesch moved to Santa Barbara with her family at age 13, attending Crane and then Bishop Diego High School. Today, she lives in Oakland with her husband and two children, and works as a facilitator focused on empowering mothers. She still visits Santa Barbara monthly, or at least that was the usual pace in pre-pandemic times.
Their book's release this week coincides — rather coincidentally, it turns out — with Father Daughter Day on October 11. Bridges-Boesch told me more about the project and her life recently.

How was having Jeff Bridges as a father?
It's a tough question to answer. It's like asking a fish, "How's the water that you're swimming in?" He's the only dad I ever had, so it's normal for me to have a famous father. And I know that it's not normal, so both of those things are true.
There are a lot of perks. We did get to travel to visit him on movie sets and meet interesting people and go interesting places. But my parents also chose to protect us from that world, from Hollywood, so I wasn't exposed as much as I think some other children of famous people have been.
Was he a good dad?
He was a really wonderful playmate. When he was home, he was home. He would play with us. He would enter the creative world that we had and go there with us. I think that is also unique. A lot of fathers are just unable to.
Tell me about your work on motherhood empowerment.
I had a really bumpy start to motherhood. I experienced pretty severe postpartum depression. I felt isolated and lonely. So the work I do is in support of other moms who might be feeling that way. Although the groups that I facilitate are also for moms who are seeking community, either local or virtual. We have real talk. We talk about the highs and the lows both of motherhood but also outside of motherhood, so we can find fulfillment as humans, not just as moms.
How did this book come about?
It's funny, because the book came about in a similar way that the book begins. I came to my dad and said, "Hey dad, I have this great idea — let's write a book together called Daddy-Daughter Day." It was fertile soil for him, because he had recently spoken to Mike Richardson, the owner of Dark Horse Publishing, who thought it would be great if they did a book together.
So my dad was on board, and I had already written the story. Together, we unpacked the story so that we could put it in this dialogue format that the book takes.
Your dad is also an illustrator, apparently.
Apparently, yes. When I look at these pictures, it takes me back to my childhood, because these are the doodles that I grew up doing side by side with my dad.
I wanted the book to look like these books that he and I would and, now, he and my kids create.
We used to pass a journal back and forth. He'd write one page and then I'd write one page. He'd start a drawing and I'd finish it, or vice versa. That's how we decided that the printing would be his handwriting rather than type.
Did the storyline happen in real life?
All of the things that Belle and her dad do in the book, my dad and I did. The biggest difference is that I grew up with younger sisters, and Belle grew up with a younger brother. That is a depiction of my children, because I have a girl and I have a son. It's not always easy to share a parent.
I know that to be true of myself. When my dad came home from being away for three months, I didn't want to share him with my sisters. But that's also true of my daughter. When her dad comes home from being at work all day, she doesn't want to share him with her brother. That's a special thing that all kids can relate to.
The brother is given a somewhat short shrift.
You kinda feel bad for him, especially seeing his little green face. We can empathize with each of the characters, including the mom. Mons are often holding it all together.
Has Father-Daughter Day been around a long time?
That's a good question. We did not know there was a Father-Daughter Day. I thought I had kind of invented it. There is a holiday for everything these days, and this one just happens to be October 11, just a few days after our book comes out. That was by coincidence. See IsabelleBridges.com and DaddyDaughterDay.com.

text: Background In man, raised degrees of plasma lipoprotein (a)(Lp(a)) is really a cardiovascular risk factor, and oxidized phospholipids are thought to are likely involved as modulators of inflammatory processes such as for example atherosclerosis. peroxisomal polyamine oxidase activity was considerably higher in LPA transgenic mice than in the non-transgenic mice, while intestinal peroxisomal catalase activity was considerably lower. Hepatic -oxidation improved in Lp(a) transgenic mice given the HFHC diet plan, however, not in those on regular diet plan. Hepatic spermidine focus was increased in every mice given the HFHC diet plan in comparison to those given a standard diet plan, while spermine focus was reduced. With exclusion of the group given just regular diet plan, transgenic mice demonstrated a lower amount of hepatic steatosis than non-transgenic mice. 97746-12-8 IC50 AG acquired no significant influence on Rabbit polyclonal to HSP90B.Molecular chaperone.Has ATPase activity. hepatic steatosis. Bottom line The present outcomes indicate a link between peroxisomal enzyme activity and the current presence of the individual LPA gene within the murine genome. The result may be due to adjustments in oxidative procedures in lipid fat burning capacity rather than caused by 97746-12-8 IC50 a direct impact from the LPA build over the peroximal gene appearance. Background Elevated degrees of plasma lipoprotein (a) Lp(a) certainly are a significant cardiovascular risk element in guy [1]. We've earlier reported advancement of arteriosclerosis in aorta of mice transgenic for cDNA representing the individual gene for Lp(a), hLPA, on a typical diet plan [2,3], as the non-transgenic mice just sporadically created arteriosclerosis. Within the LPA cDNA-transgenic pets, apolipoprotein(a), (apo(a)), takes place free of charge in plasma, and we discovered a significant relationship 97746-12-8 IC50 between your plasma apo(a) focus and how big is aortic lesions. Today's investigation, predicated on cells samples through the pets within the above-mentioned research, was undertaken to discover if polyamines could impact for the atherosclerotic advancement. There have been no leftovers of bloodstream as well as the aortic wall structure for polyamine measurements. The liver organ and kidney had been therefore chosen. The explanation for analyzing the polyamines, spermidine and spermine, is the fact that their positive costs strongly connect to phospholipids and inhibit lipid peroxidation [4], also to a certain degree shield liposome from oxidation [5]. Furthermore, spermine displays an anti-inflammatory impact [5] and exerts an antagonistic actions on platelet aggregation [6]. Since cell proliferation within the vascular wall space is important within the advancement of atherosclerotic lesions, understanding of amounts and rate of metabolism of polyamines are em by itself /em appealing for their well-known importance for cell development and differentiation. Furthermore it was appealing to gauge the activity of the peroxisomal polyamine oxidase, an enzyme essential in switching polyamines [7]. Study of the experience of peroxisomal enzymes was appealing also as the peroxisomal proliferators triggered receptors (PPARs) are regarded as mixed up in advancement of arteriosclerosis (for review, discover [8]. We've earlier demonstrated that nourishing rats a diet plan enriched in polyamines led to a reduction in hepatic polyamine oxidase and catalase activity, that could become restored by concurrently supplementing the dietary plan with clofibrate, a peroxisomal proliferator along with a hypolipidemic medication [9]. The actual fact how the hypolipidemic medication, clofibrate, changed the experience of polyamine oxidase shows how the fat content material of cells may impact polyamine metabolism. It had been therefore of unique interest to look at if fat launching got any influence on liver organ polyamine content material, and on polyamine oxidase activity. In today's research we discovered that polyamine oxidase activity was higher in transgenic mice than in non-transgenic pets. To be able to examine whether this demonstrates a general upsurge in peroxisomal enzymes, we assessed the experience of two additional peroxisomal enzymes, catalase and -oxidase. Catalase decomposes H2O2, something of oxidase activity, and therefore protects the cell contrary to the toxic aftereffect of H2O2, while peroxisomal -oxidation takes on the key physiological part of oxidation lengthy essential fatty acids and the medial side string of cholesterol. Some sets of mice had been treated with AG because AG inhibits the forming of nonenzymatic glycosylation of proteins [10], that are implicated within the aetiology of diabetic problems, including arteriosclerosis [10,11], and because AG is really a well-known particular inhibitor of diamine oxidase, which catalyses degradation of putrescine, the precursor from the polyamines; spermidine and spermine. We right here report that this introduction from the human being LPA gene.

This past weekend, a group of Montclair State University students and staff put the traditional images of laziness and comfort that accompany Thanksgiving to rest, facing the elements and putting their bodies to the test in the 2015 Turkey Ride.
The Turkey Ride is an annual event held by the Montclair Bikery, a bicycle shop on Valley Road. On the day of the Turkey Ride, participants started riding their bike at Montclair Bikery and made a stop at the Brookdale ShopRite. There, each rider picked up a Thanksgiving turkey to bring to the final destination, the Human Needs Food Pantry on Label Street in Montclair. The total course of the ride was 15 miles long.
It was just under 50 degrees outside when Romayne Eaker-Kelly, the director of Campus Recreation, and Jared Utterback, Coordinator of Fitness Programs at the Student Recreation Center, accompanied students from the organization Rec Board to Montclair Bikery to participate in the third annual Turkey Ride on Sunday, Nov. 22. All Montclair State participants came ready with a bicycle and helmet and prepared to face the cold and the hilly path to deliver their turkeys safely to the food pantry.
"The ride itself was tough," said Gabby Raccosta, a member of the Rec Board executive board. "I don't work out regularly, so just jumping on a bike and riding [15-plus] miles was definitely challenging." Raccosta and her fellow riders did not give in when the ride got tough, however. She and the other participants from Montclair State played games like I Spy to help them get through the course, despite the "burning sensation radiating from [their] legs."
Participating in the Turkey Ride is part of the larger philanthropic mission of Rec Board, Eaker-Kelly explained. "RecBoard's mission is to participate in monthly community service projects and November is usually [a time to] feed the hungry, so the Montclair Bikery Turkey Ride fit in with their monthly goal."
Not only was the Turkey Ride a way to give back to the larger Montclair community, but also a way for students to experience a method of transportation that Campus Recreation has been exploring in depth over the past few years: bicycling.
With the help of motivated students, Utterback set up a bike rental system for students via the Student Recreation Center in 2013, known as Hawk on Wheels. Hawk on Wheels is the first bike rental system of its kind and the bikes for the program were purchased from Montclair Bikery.
When discussing the choice to participate in the Turkey Ride this year, Utterback said, "By being able to combine the student participation and enthusiasm of the Hawk on Wheels program from Montclair State University with the ability to ride bikes for a great cause for the community, it was a no-brainer for us to jump on board."
Over 300 people made the ride on Sunday and over 400 turkeys were donated. Rec Board not only donated the turkeys that they were able to purchase on their ride, but also money that they collected during their meetings for the cause.
Once the ride ended, Raccosta reflected back on the experience, saying, "In the end, it was a very [rewarding] experience on both a personal and philanthropic level."
Eaker-Kelly echoes Raccosta's support of Rec Board's philanthropic mission: "I'm extremely proud to be involved with an outstanding group of young adults that feel the need on a regular basis to spend time working on charitable causes."
"It was a fantastic event," said Utterback. "It was great for cyclists, both recreational and competitive, to be able to come together in a fun, social setting for a rewarding experience that benefits the community as we approach the holiday season."

International Dog Day
Today is International Dog Day! The 26th August is the day that we celebrate our little furry friends. Often called "man's best friend" there is no doubt that pets are great for both our physical and mental health.
To celebrate we are doing a little post of the "Dogs of 5 Ways To Wellbeing" We asked our staff to send in photos of their dogs for a little bit of "Connect" fun with our staff.

Most everyone has heard a story about someone making incriminating posts on social media. A story like that of Dustin Rittgers, who last December posted a Facebook video of himself driving drunk and was eventually arrested while still on the road in Franklin County. But the growing use of live streaming apps like Periscope have taken these kinds of incidents far beyond the posting of videos or texts. Now we are seeing more and more incidents involving the live streaming of criminal acts, and already this year Columbus has seen two such incidents gain national attention.
Earlier in May, two men were arrested in Columbus after live streaming threats to shoot up their own neighborhood. Yusuf Suliman Conteh and Damon Andrew Rosmond were using Periscope and threatened to go out shooting in their neighborhood with an AR-15 rifle if they got 100 views. The live stream also captured the two men handing a loaded gun to a toddler. Someone watching the live stream from another state notified police and both men were later arrested. They've been charged with a list of crimes that includes improperly furnishing firearms to a minor, endangering children, and inducing panic.
But it was an incident in Columbus earlier this year that has started a national conversation about live streaming crimes. In February, Marina Lonina and a 17-year-old friend met up with Raymond Gates at Gates's home in Columbus. While there, Gates sexually assaulted the 17-year-old friend and Lonina used Periscope to live stream the assault for 10 minutes. Lonina claims that she was using Periscope to provide evidence of the assault.
However, the prosecutor felt that Lonina got caught up by the likes she was getting during the Periscope stream and then did nothing to help the victim. Lonina has been charged as an accomplice and is facing the same charges as Gates, including kidnapping, rape and sexual battery. As the Franklin County prosecutor expressed when discussing the Lonina case, "Technology has moved us into an area that is sometimes beyond belief."
