Seaside Joycast: The Water's Got What You Need
When my heart feels heavy or I'm in a funk, water always helps.
Being on the ocean is amazing, but not always possible.
Cleaning anything (the house, my car, or my own body), watching the rain, watering plants or flowers, or even sipping water mindfully—all help combat stagnation inside and around me.
Water is alive within us and all around us. It knows how to reset us in ways we can't fully understand.
Water is mysterious, changeable, and unpredictable. When we treat it with respect, water is a source of healing power.
Medical Intuitive Anthony William suggests asking the Angel of Water (out loud) to change the frequency of our bath or shower water to make it more cleansing, nourishing, and grounding.
If angels aren't your thing, you can grow your connection to water simply by noticing how you use it and appreciating it for all it does.
Water is intelligent and can adapt itself to our needs.
Today's Joycast contains messages from water. Choose between one of three colours for a personalized reading.
Remember to go with your first instinct.
Does white, green or purple call out to you today?
After you watch the video, I'd love to hear from you in the comments below. Which colour did you choose and how did it fit?
Thank you for all you do—I'm grateful we're on this watery planet together.
Waves of love,
Tamika xo
Misty says
Thank you so much Tamika. I chose purple and am totally working through an ending and all the emotions that come with it. Beautiful reminder for me to trust in the process. Hugs
Tamika says
Love it that this mini-death cycle is helping you grow a brand new limb, Shakti. Sending love and comfort, XOXO
Hasana says
Purple is typically not my go to colour, yet today it spoke to me... I LOVE the idea of my ability to regenerate and being reminded that the multiverse is in full support!!
Tamika says
Love this, Hasana. Sending sea-star determination and joy your way! XOXO
Colleen says
Purple was my choice of colours. And when I heard the message for White, I thought it sounded fitting for me. But then hearing the wisdom for purple I knew it was absolutely the right message for me right now. Later in the day I was on my way to an appointment that I was feeling apprehensive about when I saw, on a city sidewalk, a utility box pictured with purple
starfish! Such perfect synchronicity....I love how the Universe continues to amaze me. (I took a picture, but don't know that I can include here in the comment box. It was identical to your video.) Thank you, Tamika 😊💕
Tamika says
So beautiful Colleen. I'd love to see the photo of your twin-purple starfish! Love you XOXO
Jennifer Regular says
I chose white and the message really resonated with me. Thank you XO Namaste.
Tamika says
A lot of my friends got white too, Jennifer! Namaste xOm
Brenda says
I chose Purple and how fitting the message is for me at this time of huge shifts and transitions! Everything feels like it's in flux and it challenges me to stay grounded and connected at times. Thank you!
Tamika says
YOU are a sea-star yourself, Ocean Goddess!!! XOXO
angela says
how is it that you always have the exact message i need to hear when i need to hear it. this has been quite the year of changes right down to having my limb repaired... so much has shifted, so many unexpected challenges have come up. lately i have been free floating lost without my routines and schedules to add context to my life, but those same routines were a way to avoid the emotions. now i have nothing but time and space - what to do, what to do. i needed to hear that it is okay to be present with those emotions, sort through them and let go of the ones that no longer serve. because just like my old gait no longer serves me when i walk, those old thoughts and feelings hidden deep in those muscles that i have had tied in knots for so long no longer serve when. i can relearn to walk and climb stairs, i can also learn new ways to process my emotions
thanks Tamika, you have always been one of my valued guiding stars <3
Tamika says
You are growing new limbs like the beautiful Starfish Goddess~~! Love you, Angela XOXO

Boyer scholar confronts cruelty in developing nations
Brittany Brendsel ′08
Sociology and international development major/concentration in anthropology
Hometown: BigFork, Montana
The day 17-year-old Brittany Brendsel ′08 came across Messiah College's Epicenter website (http://www.messiah.edu/academics/epicenter)
and learned she could improve the lives of others around the globe, she knew her path was determined … by God.
"I wanted to be as qualified as possible to do the Lord's will," said a composed, articulate Brittany. "And Messiah has gotten me there."
In the past four years, the Boyer Scholar and double sociology/international development major with a concentration in anthropology has traveled to Thailand, Rwanda, and Uganda—the latter for a six-month, combined study-abroad/internship program. "Uganda definitely changed my life," said the resolute senior, recalling her many weeks of work with child soldiers—children abducted and forced to withstand indescribable acts of abuse. "I remember their tears … it is haunting."
Brittany recalls a day of great sorrow when she sat face to face with a young Ugandan refugee, who by age 13 had birthed two children. "She was raped by a band of rebel soldiers then watched her family burned alive," she said. "I was overwhelmed by the fact that she was so young, yet had endured so much. I was eight years her senior and had endured next to nothing. This was my life … that's her life. How is that possible? Life was never the same for me. It gave me a sense of urgency and purpose that I've never had before."
That sense of purpose, combined with a passion for intellectual pursuit, has enabled the sensitive yet scholarly Brittany to pursue a unique combination of majors at Messiah College. "Sociology and anthropology have taught me to see the world as others do. International development is about freeing people from economic, cultural, and spiritual poverty," she said. "Combining these in a culturally sensitive manner will better equip me to do what God has called me to do."

Area rugs add dashes of panache and style to homes and businesses. One thing about area rugs, though, is that they can be challenging to clean properly. If cleaning products are used that work well on one type of rug, they can ruin another rug. This is where the expertise and broad knowledge of rug cleaning companies Portland trusts become essential.
Professional Rug Cleaning is The Best Choice
When you're unsure of materials area rugs are made from, or if they're crafted from blended materials, you're always best off hiring professional rug cleaning companies. The rug cleaning company Portland trusts, rug cleaning Portland Oregon, keeps up with all the latest trends in rug cleaning.
Rug Cleaning Portland Oregon
Area rugs are made from blended materials because this blending process adds extra strength. The strength of one fiber complements weaknesses in other fibers. The most common rug blends include:
Wool/NylonNylon is a fiber that adds extra strength
Silk/WoolWool is the stronger fiber in this blending, while silk adds a luxurious look and feel
Sisal/WoolNatural sisal gives rugs a more rustic appeal, while wool adds strength
Cotton/RayonMore durable than other area rug types because of strong properties of both materials
Cleaning solutions should be chosen depending on fibers area rugs are made from. A professional has experience with, and knowledge about the best practices for cleaning each specific type of rug.

Scouting Dahlen
A quick look at Vancouver's new prospectby Derek Jory @NoJoryous / Canucks writer
Jonathan Dahlen, welcome to Vancouver.
The Canucks received the 19-year-old Swedish forward from the Ottawa Senators Monday in exchange for Alex Burrows, and while fans are sad to see Burr go, Dahlen is the goods.
Drafted in the 2nd round, 42nd overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, Dahlen had 41 points (24-17-41) in 43 games with Timra IK of the Swedish hockey league HockeyAllsvenskan this past season. In the 2016 World Juniors, Dahlen had six points (5-1-6) in seven games.
Here's the scouting report from Eliteprospects.com: "An offensively very skilled player. Dahlén is a good scorer and playmaker and quite shifty with fine technical skills and overall offensive awareness. Furthermore, an agile and creative player with great character. Skating might look suspicious at times, in some ways quite comparable to father Ulf's, but he reaches good speed and has impressive edge work. Good work ethic and a capable two-way player."
In case you missed a key part of that, Jonathan is the son of Ulf Dahlen, the 14-year NHL veteran who had 655 points in 966 games between six teams. Of note: Dahlen scored the final goal in Minnesota North Stars history on April 15, 1993.
Like father, like son? Time will tell, but GM Jim Benning is high on the recent acquisition.
"Jonathan is a very skilled player with natural goal scoring instincts," said Benning. "He's had a terrific season playing in Sweden and was a big part of Sweden's offence at the World Juniors. His offensive upside combined with his willingness to go to difficult areas of the ice will make him a valuable player for our organization moving forward."

Future started buying records 1989, started Djing 1990.
His early days of a DJ started on Trance-fm middle of 1991 moving onto Raw-fm which became Don-Fm.
Back in 1992/93 Futures first gig was "World Party" at linford studios in Wandsworth.
Future began working at Lucky Spinn Records in 1993/94,ran an event @ the Gas club called Tempest in 1994/95.
More recent Rupture, Jungle Syndicate, Technicality, Outlook festival Sydney Australia.
Then to the present Dream Fm, Life Fm & sets at AKO Beatz forthcoming set at our own event Drum+Basics presents real sound of the underground.
First record release was on Federation records 1999 with a track called "The Truth" & Neo on Compasite records.
Other releases on DSCi4, 117 records, Criminal records, Mute:8 records, Lost Dubs, Bustle Beats, Skeleton Records & with more to come on AKO Beatz.
It's looking good for 2018 & 2019.
Hey Future,what a journey you've already had within D&B.
What's been the biggest achievement so far?
Hey Mary-Anne, many thanks for asking me to do this interview.
My biggest achievement so far has been my E.P on 117 with Trax ' Is it safe? ' & ' Evil place ' which kicked off the record label 117.
Also my remix of Babylon which was nominated as ' Best Jungle Track of 2017 '.
Still being involved in the music which in my eyes is a big achievement.
Obviously there has been a lot of inspiration.
Anyone in particular?
The whole inspiration thing comes from so many different genres of music, off the top of my head my main influences have been a lot of electro Hip-Hop mid/late 80s obviously early 90s Hip-Hop.
There's been too many influences but the main one for me that sticks out the most within D&B.
Due to his early 90s influences with Reinforced Records & Timeless Album.
That album stands the test of time.
There's a lot of mixed opinions on Jungle at present,most are quite negative due to misrepresentation on social media and on event flyers.
What's your opinion on this?
I think the music is at it's best all sub-genres of D&B.
It's good to see the influence of breaks and amens, all the original elements of the early days influencing the sound again. The discovery of new talent is great aswell for the music and a lot of new artists coming through.
Jungle on the whole is getting a lot of attention which is great but for me a lot of people don't know the difference between Jungle,Jump Up D&B due to poor media articles where you can tell that there's been no knowledge/research where the music really stems from.
A wise man once told me in a conversation relating to this that there are plenty of mans at present on the band wagon, we will see what soldiers are still standing when the dust has settled.
Your music has been released on many record labels.
Is there any labels that you wish to release music on?
No I'm really happy with what I've got at present, being creative and expressing myself within my music is a blessing and anything more that comes about in the future will be even more of a blessing.
The labels I have already had releases on truly mean a lot to me.
Forthcoming releases?
AKO BEATZ – Dynamical Forces E.P Alongside Eric Electric
Pre – order 27.04.18.
Which do you prefer Djing or Music production?
At present it's all about the music production for me but I really enjoy doing gigs but my creativity is music production as the more I produce music the more i learn.
Any gigs coming up?
Not many except your event which I'm really looking forward to as the line up is really diverse and looking forward to playing out some hard breaks, testing new material.
Playing at a festival in Cambridgeshire in June.
I'm not really concentrating on that side of things at present just working on tunes.
Any final words, special thanks?
Big thanks to everyone who has been supporting my music in the last 7 years may it continue.
Got to say a big thanks to DJ Trace for believing in me back in the day and pushing my music through with the DSCi4 release and 117.
Monita Skeleton Records. Code Bustle Beats. Mark Fuller Mute:8.

ADEBO: Aircraft Design Box
Aircraft design studies and optimizations require a flexible, user-friendly and extensible design environment to design both conventional and unconventional aircraft configurations and to accommodate innovative technologies. Against this background, the Institute of Aircraft Design develops an aircraft design environment for Conceptual Design and the early stages of Preliminary Design for use in research and teaching. It is based on the universal, object-oriented data model ADDAM (Aircraft Design Data Model), which is suitable for both transport aircraft and UAVs. For the individual subareas of aircraft design, an extensible collection of already existing as well as specially developed approaches and procedures is connected to the data model by means of a standardized interface. A library of aircraft, airfoils, engines and materials increases reusability and facilitates rapid exploration of various concepts.

Blended Wing Body
The Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE) set ambitious goals for the aeronautic community to be reached by 2050. With the targets being high, only new aircraft concepts, incorporating advanced engine and material technologies will be able to meet this challenge. In this context, the ACFA 2020 (Active Control for Flexible Aircraft 2020) was initiated in 2008 as a collaborative research project for innovative aircraft concepts funded by the European Commission (FP7). The designed blended wing body (BWB) or hybrid wing body aircraft (see fig. 1) is the platform for further analysis at the Institute of Aircraft Design. The research focuses on the configuration design process and on increasing the maturity degree of systems. This includes the adaption of design methodologies to the special problem of high lift in the low speed phase. The disciplines of interest include aerodynamics, structure, flight mechanics, aircraft systems and overall aircraft performance. The research is greatly supported by software (CATIA V5, Matlab, etc.) and addresses innovative methods within the design approach. The resulting aircraft design process enables to discuss the integration of innovative systems and technologies in their interaction with the aircraft concept.
|Dipl.-Ing. Daniel Paulus
Model-based design of aerospace systems
A part of the research area aircraft design is the analysis of model-based techniques for the improvement of the design process efficiency.
The development of aircraft systems is characterized by a rising demand for higher functionality and quality which results in the demand for more efficient system development processes. The intrinsic complexity of aerospace products makes their development a coordinated effort of demanding activities of various specialists from different technical domains. The domain specific activities are today very well supported by dedicated tools that allow for efficient use of digital models and thus a reduction of time and cost compared to physical modeling. However, the enormous diversity of tools in current development processes creates a highly complex and heterogeneous software infrastructure that constrains the augmentation of process efficiency due to its immanent communication and coordination deficits.
Against this background this thesis discusses different approaches for the integration of heterogeneous software tools within the aerospace industry taking the product-, process- and organizational structures into account. The development and implementation of a system model, which is capable of capturing system life cycle data in a clear and common style, is identified as a possible solution and therefore further developed. The system model serves as a central data memory medium and allows for the exchange of data sets across domain boundaries as well as among software tools. Furthermore, the system model enables the creation of subject-specific views on the system structure as well as the parallelization and automation of development activities. In addition, this paper proposes the modeling of system requirements, functions and the organizational structure to enable an integrated development environment.

The project Sagitta, named after a stellar constellation, has been initiated by CASSIDIAN in 2011. A technology demonstrator with a low aspect ratio flying wing configuration is being developed by several institutes of the TUM, German research institutes and the industry in cooperation. The maiden flight of the demonstrator is planned for 2014. The institute of aircraft design (LLS) is responsible for the preliminary overall design, the propulsion system design and integration as well as for the demonstration of novel flight control technologies in flight.
Partners: Cassidian, TUM AER, TUM FSD, TUM LLB, UniBw, DLR
Research field: Flight control concept
The low aspect ratio flying wing design without vertical stabilizers raises considerable challenges for the flight control concept, which has to deliver the required control moments for the automatic stabilizing and maneuvering of the aircraft. For this task, a novel technology, fixed geometry flight control concept is being developed.
Research field: Thrust vectoring
For the active support of the flight control, thrust vectoring with fixed geometry nozzles is very interesting. Novel concepts of thrust vectoring are being reviewed with respect to their performance and integration aspects. The design as well as the practical implementation of a propulsion system with thrust vectoring on fixed geometry nozzles in a flying demonstrator is a primary task in the institute of aircraft design and the Sagitta project.

Performance Assessment of future hybrid-electric powered airliners
In the context of this research a transfer of hybrid- and electric propulsion architectures to future airliners is investigated. These technologies are already sporadically in use in today's General Aviation segment. While maintaining aircraft performance, the aim is to improve overall efficiency as well as to considerably reduce the environmental impact in terms of noise and emissions. Application of this integrative aircraft design approach should contribute to secure future growth and sustainability of air transport.

Research Area Analysis & Evaluation of Aircraft Concepts
Airport Airside Capacity Studies
Development of a methodology to model the impact of aircraft parameters on the air traffic at airports with the aim to quantify the resulting airport capacity.
Research Area Analysis & Evaluation of Aircraft Concepts
Methods for operational evaluation of aircraft concepts (regarding capacity, noise, DOC,…) require input parameters that describe the evaluation environment, for instance the fleet mix. In the context of this research activity, representative evaluation environment parameters on a global level are derived for the current date (e.g. representative values of airport or airline-related parameters). In addition, scenario techniques will be used to study possible future developments of representative environment parameters.
|Dipl-Ing. Gerald Öttl
Aircraft Noise Assessment - Evaluation of novel aircraft concepts
The evaluation of novel and quieter aircraft concepts comprises:
- Preliminary aircraft design (e.g. integration of "Geared Turbofan" or "Open Rotor" engines into configurations)
- Deduction/definition of noise models for novel aircraft concepts
- Evaluation of novel aircraft taking into account the aircraft performance
The figure shows the process of evaluation on a "single aircraft level"
To evaluate the situation on "airport level" or "global level", the following aspects are additionally considered:
- Air traffic growth
- Temporal substitution by the new aircraft type
- Noise impact development around the airport
- Development of cost, e.g. noise surcharges, external cost
- Deduction of the resulting benefits due to the novel aircraft

The decision of the Tribunal is that the application to the Fair Employment Tribunal was not presented within the appropriate time limit and in all the circumstances it is not just and equitable for the Fair Employment Tribunal to consider the complaint despite the fact that it is out of time. The claim of constructive dismissal was withdrawn at the outset of the hearing, and is dismissed.

New York City is already spending enough money (more than $1 billion) to address the homeless problem in New York City.
The problem is that much of that money is being embezzled and squandered by the criminal and fraudulent service providers and organizations contracted by New York City Department Of Homeless Service, (DHS) because of their incompetence and lack of supervision and the audit of their contractors.
DHS equally neglect and disregard all complaints from homeless people (their clients) and 98% of the time, they support their criminal contractors against their clients, (the homeless people from New York that they are being paid more than $1 billions to help.)
$1 Billion is a lot of money and is more than the GNP and budgets of some countries in the world with a couple of millions of citizens. And yet the population of homeless New Yorkers is about 50,000 (more or less!)
This is one of the biggest unknown and unexposed crimes against humanity and scandals in New York City!
The Attorney General of New York must begin to investigate all service providers and organizations contracted by New York City Department of Homeless Service, (DHS) who embezzle the funds, harass and exploit their homeless clients because it is a heinous crime to do that to the weakest and most vulnerable members of the society, a wickedness that God will never forgive.
Please follow us, like us, and support us in our fight to end crimes against and exploitation of homeless people in America and New York specifically by Department of Homeless Service (DHS) and the Service providers and organization they contracted to operate the shelters, who are unabashed parasites, dangerous predators, criminals and fraudsters.
In the latest New York Times Article, titled, "Cuomo and de Blasio Clash Again, This Time Over Homelessness" The latest battle between Governor Cuomo and Mayor De Blasio is currently about the homelessness issue in the city. During his mayoral campaign, Mr. de Blasio promised to restore a rent subsidy program to help homeless families stay out of shelters. The Bloomberg administration created one such program, called Advantage, which was partially paid for by the state and the federal government, but ended it after the state withdrew funding in 2011. Since then, the number of people sleeping in city shelters each night has surged to over 50,000. This number of people without a home is posterous, when we live in city that has such wealth and opportunities. The mayors office shared a proposal that would offer subsidies to up to 2,800 families a year, costing a total of $21…

The cranks are all here in this video of the June 5 Phoenix Rising rally by videographer Dennis Gilman: Russell Pearce, Joe Arpaio, and lesser known wackjobs such as "Chemtrail Chelene" Nightingale, "Loopy Lupe" Moreno, self-loathing, wannabe white-boy Ray Herrera, and black apologist for slavery Ted Hayes.
Gilman braved aggro, racist bikers to get the material for this one. They were all over him at one point like beetles on a wet Jolly Rancher. The guy should have a bodyguard to do the work he does. Remember, his only weapon is his camera. Why do they attack him? Because with that camera, he shines a light on the nefarious deeds of nativists and neo-Nazis. And like it they do not.

21 May 2019 CE | 17 Ramadhan 1440 AH
Hadith Explanation
Stay in Hiding
The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Women are to be kept in hiding. Indeed when she leaves her home, Shaitaan keeps an eye on her. Certainly a woman is closest to Allah when she is in her home." [Tabrani]
The more precious a commodity the more carefully it is guarded, for the greater its chances of being stolen.
Truly, a woman is safe from mischief while she stays in her home. When she steps out of her home without necessity, she is highly capable of being used by Shaitaan.
This is why it has been said in a Hadith that when a woman comes in front of a non-Mahram, she comes in the guise of Shaitaan. [Abu Dawud]

Ruling Bangladesh Awami League's general secretary Obaidul Quader on Thursday warned that his party has no alternative to victory in the 30 December parliamentary elections.
The opposition, on the other hand, alleged that the AL camp planned to rig the polls by using the administration and the election commission.
"Our defeat will bring darkness. Our defeat will lead to bloodshed across the country," he told a joint meeting of AL associate body Sechchasebak League at the AL's central office at Bangabandhu Avenue.
The ruling camp leaders have time and again mentioned that the country might witnessbloodshed if the AL and its allies are defeated in the elections.
"We've seen corruption, violence and bloodshed caused by our opponent in 2001 and 2014 respectively. Do we want to go back to the darkness of that period? We don't. So we have to remain united," Quader told his partymen.
He asked them to be aware of the opposition forces. "They have a big arm of conspiracy and they can unleash violence and sabotage," he cautioned.
"The opposition (BNP) has started violence. After the announcement of the election schedule, they carried out violence at Naya Paltan. Those who can do it have tried to hatch conspiracies at home and abroad," Quader said.
The AL leader said Gano Forum president Kamal Hossain has surrendered to the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) through formation of the Jatiya Oikya Jote.
"Kamal Hossain is not a leader now and he is not contesting polls," Quader said adding the leader of the BNP is Tarique Rahman, who, he added, is a fugitive and convicted person.
"What a shame it is! Kamal Hossain, Kader Siddique, Mahmudur Rahman Manna and Mostofa Mahsin Montu are dictated by Tarique Rahman. What a helpless surrender of these people to a corrupt and killer", Quader said.
He went on to say, "They will guard the polling stations. We will protect the voting centres too."
Criticising BNP secretary Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir's statement that the AL will be defeated utterly, the AL general secretary said, "Mirza Fakhrul doesn't want to give Awami League more than 30 seats. They got 29 seats in 2008. Staying in power, we didn't utter such a statement that we would give a little number of seats to our opponent."

First Graduation Ceremony
for the Centro Hispano Marista
Marist Centennial Center • Marist School, Atlanta, Georgia
The first Graduation Ceremony for the Centro Hispano Marista was held at the Marist Centennial Center (Marist School, Atlanta, Georgia) on Thursday, December 19, 2013 at 7 pm. Thirty-six students received their GED certificate and graduated. Their families, friends and classmates were in attendance.
The Centro Hispano was created in 2012 to address the educational and spiritual needs of the growing Hispanic immigrant population in Atlanta. The Centro provides a GED program that to date has registered over 950 Hispanic adults. Classes are held on Thursday evenings and are taught by 65 volunteers in 29 classrooms at the Marist School in Brookhaven. In addition, volunteers from the Marist School community help staff the Center and assist in the classrooms.
The keynote speaker was Lucio Parro, the valedictorian of the graduating class. Lucio is a 32-year-old construction supervisor.
On Thursdays, he would leave his construction crew in Tennessee and make the long drive to Marist to pursue his dream of obtaining a high school equivalency certificate. During his free time, he would pour over his schoolbook in his hotel room. "I knew it's not going to be easy, dealing with family, dealing with work. It's going to be a challenge, but the result is happiness," he remarked prior to his leading the graduates to their places of honor.
Salvador Arias, one of the key founders and who plays a pivotal role in overseeing the Centro, said that obtaining the GED can lead to being accepted for deferred action which is life-changing for immigrants. "They can legally get married, legally drive, legally work," he said. Many families have remained intact because they were enrolled in the GED classes.
Another graduate, Yolanda Abarca, 26, became pregnant while she was in high school and had to drop out. She took up the challenge to be both a good mother and a good student. Having obtained her GED certificate, she spoke of attending a community college and pursuing a degree in business administration. "I'm so nervous, so excited," she said, reflecting the sentiments shared by the other thirty-six graduates.
Fr. John Harhager, President of Marist School, praised the graduates for their perseverance and for the inspiration they were to their fellow students who dream of one day sitting where the graduates sat.

Software Review:
CorelDraw 10
By J. A. Hitchcock
as it appeared in the March/April 2001 issue of Link-UP
I just may have to get rid of Hot Dog Professional, a program Iíve been using for years to create my web pages. Well, maybe. CorelDRAW 10 is the latest version from Corel. But this time, itís bigger and better. Not only does it contain the usual ìupgradesî you expect, it added some very nifty features that allows you to do more online as well as offline. Included in the box are CorelDRAW 10 for page layout and creating or modifying graphics/images; Corel PhotoPaint 10 for image editing and painting; and Corel R.A.V.E. (Real Animated Vector Effects). You get loads more, but I want to comment on the main programs included. CorelDRAW 10 is wonderful and seems to be easier to use in the past, or it just seems easier because Iíve been using it for so many years. I found the main window is less cluttered than I remembered and offers easier navigation, even for a novice. Since this version touts the fact you can publish to .pdf and .html, as well as spiffing up what youíve already created, I decided to try that out first. I opened up a page Iíd already made in Hot Dog and instead of seeing HTML coding, it came up as it would look on the web, with all the graphics and text as configured. I then fit text to the text frames, moved the photos and graphics around a bit, and clicked on ìPublish to the Webî ìHTML.î The page came up in my web browser and didnít look quite the same. It took a bit of tweaking to get the hang of how to make it look like the page I wanted, but I donít know if Iíd use CorelDRAW 10 to make HTML pages. Making graphics for web pages is a snap and very cool. A great feature is the ìWeb Image Optimizer,î where you can preview what your graphics will look like and choose from .gif, .jpg, .png8 or .png24 formats, then choose the one you want or go back to the original youíd saved in. I found .jpg worked best for me, since I use a lot of photos, and cut down a page of graphics and photos from 510kb to 72kb and they still looked great. I found Corel R.A.V.E. a fun program to use - this is where you can create live animations and export them as Macromedia Flash files for your web site. I took the introductory title to my current web page ìHitchcock Heraldî and animated it so that it looked like the sun was glinting off of it using the Movie menu functions. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination and I have a pretty big imagination! You can also create graphics that will do rollovers (normal, down and over) that can respond to a mouse or do them automatically. Donít know what Iím talking about? Have you ever gone to a web site where youíve placed your mouse cursor over a button or graphic and it changes or moves or does something else? This is a rollover. If youíre a hardcore HTML freak, than youíll love how you can create vector graphics that can be compressed with support for SVG and Flash SWF formats. Although I wonít be replacing Hot Dog Professional for making my web pages, I will be using CorelDRAW 10 to create, optimize and edit my web graphics and photos. And I intend on adding some animations to my pages and maybe a few rollover graphics. Weíll just have to see. Corel advertises this as the best CorelDRAW ever and I have to agree. Other nifty online-related features are: - The ability to e-mail part or all of my graphic work direct from the CorelDRAW program - itís already figured out what e-mail program(s) youíre using, so it automatically opens that program up when youíre ready to send. - Visit Corelís designer web site for more help right from the program; this ìWeb Connector Dockerî window lets you connect to http://www.designer.com/ on the Internet without leaving the application. So you get the answers you need and can make the adjustments without going totally crazy. - HTML Preflight lets you see if there are any problems with your web page you should be aware of *before* you publish it. So if you have a graphic or text thatís going off the page or doesnít fit right, HTML Preflight will let you know. In addition to all the new web-related things, you also get: ï MicrosoftÆ Visual BasicÆ for Applications 6.2 ï BitstreamÆ Font Navigatorô ï CantoÆ CumulusÆ Desktop LE 5.0 ï CorelTRACEô 10 - converts bitmapped images to vector images. ï Corel TEXTUREô 10 - simulate textures such as clouds, wood, and more ï Corel CAPTUREô 10 - a very nice and easy to use screen capture utility ï AdobeÆ AcrobatÆ Reader 4.0 ï AdobeÆ PhotoshopÆ-compatible plug-in filters, including DigimarcÆ Digital Watermarking and Human Software Squizz!ô Other features include: CorelTutor - takes you through projects step-by-step, great for novices! Customizeable toolbox, menus, toolbars and status bars Import MacromediaÆ FreeHandô 8 and MicrosoftÆ VisioÆ 5 documents Smoother, faster zooming and panning in real time Edit individual objects as often as necessary to get the right lookówithout starting from scratch Apply predefined settings to many of the interactive toolsóor create your own presets Access all color management optionsófor the Web, desktop printing and professional outputófrom one interface Place multiple languages within the same text box CorelDRAW 10 Graphics Suite $549.99 (upgrade price is $239.99) http://www.corel.com/draw10 Minimum Requirements ï WindowsÆ 98, Windows 2000, Windows NTÆ or Windows Me ï PentiumÆ 200 ï 64 MB RAM (128 MB recommended) ï 2X CD-ROM drive ï SVGA monitor ï Mouse or tablet ï 160 MB of hard disk space

File this entry under Third World America, i.e. a country where our laws don't apply to the most powerful people in our government. We were walking toward Metro Center in Washington D.C. around 11pm when we witnessed a mini-convoy consisting of two black SUVs and two police SUVs sounding their horns, blaring their lights, and running a red light at the intersection of New York Avenue and 12th Street (pictured below). So, why don't traffic laws apply to public officials in our nation's capital? In our opinion, this red-light running behavior is demoralizing and dangerous to our democracy.

You may use the Battle skill as part of an examination of an area in order to recognize good points for ambush. This does not actually allow you to spot a specific ambush without making a successful Spot check, but does allow you a circumstance bonus to Spot checks to see an ambush if you have previously realized you are entering a prime ambush location.
Base DC: 20
Success: You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Spot checks to see an ambush if you have previously realized you are entering a prime ambush location. If you excced the DC by more than 5, your bonus increases to +4. If you exceed the DC by 10 or more, the bonus increases to a +6.
Failure: You cannot see any good spots for ambush, and gain no bonuses to your Spot checks.
Rank 4 Ability
Expert Flanker
You gain a +4 bonus when flanking instead of the normal +2 bonus. Your allies who flank with you gain the same advantage.
Rank 6 Ability
Sudden Strike
Whenever you are making an attack roll against a flat-footed opponent, you may make an Battle check as a free action. The results of the roll determine the amount of additional damage done, as shown on the following table:
|Battle check Result
|Additional Damage
Rank 8 Ability
Expert Feint
You may Feint as an immediate action.
Rank 10 Ability
Slow Them Down
As a move action, you may make any 5' square adjacent to yourself into difficult ground.
Rank 13 Ability
Superior Flanker
For determining flanking with your allies, you may count your location as being 5' in any direction from your real location.

To make a good coffee, you need quite a few things but you at least need some good beans, a good grinder, a good roaster, and some hot water.
If beans are knowledge, I've met a lot of people with a lot of beans. They get it. They understand. They've read good books, and heard good speeches. They can talk with the best of them.
The problem with beans is that you then need to roast them - which is not comfortable - grind them - which is not comfortable - and pour hot water over them - which is not comfortable.
The roasting, the grinding, the hot water - that's what makes the beans actually matter to anyone. That's what takes those good beans and converts them into something that we want.
There are fewer people who put their knowledge through a roasting, a grinding, and into some hot water to see what they are left with. They are afraid. What if all their beans vanish? What if it doesn't taste good?
So, they just hold on to the beans.
Honestly, pretty worthless beans.
If you're young (often literally, always figuratively), you're more tempted to hold on to your beans, or think your beans are really valuable as they are. And they are valuable.
But only if you let life grind, roast, and burn them. Then that knowledge will matter more to us all.
We might even want to have a taste.

by Brad Nelson
In this decidedly high-brow series that is made for PBS geeks and Anglophiles, Derek Jacobi stars as a sort of Sherlock Holmes in 12th century Shrewsbury, England.
In the parallel universe inhabited by the people who do not think that Miley Cyrus is anything but a pimple on pop culture, Derek Jacobi is (how do you say?) the man. Perhaps known best for his portrayal of Claudius in I, Claudius, Jacobi is a talented and compelling actor, and never more so than in Cadfael.
Cadfael is one of the elder brothers (a monk) in Shrewsbury abbey. He is an herbalist (that era's doctor, one presumes) and trusted on-call Holmesian sleuth when mysteries erupt, and they often do in the rough and often uncouth surroundings. Brother Cadfael combines his innate intelligence, and vast worldly experience (he used to be a Crusader), with his own brand of scientific method.
Brother Cadfael often rolls his eyes at Prior Robert and Brother Jerome (his foils in this series) for their more superstitious ways. But Cadfael is far from a modern. He is a man of deep faith but one who also is aware of the decidedly
human element when it comes to religion. And both Prior Robert and Brother Jerome add the spice of conflict to nearly every episode. They do not approve of this monk's unconventional methods. He really ought to know his place.
Usually assisting Cadfael in the odd murder or disappearance is the good and brave Sheriff of Shrewsbury, Hugh Beringar (originally, and definitively for this series, played by Sean Pertwee…there were two others who later took on the role). Beringar is often at odds with Cadfael having little to no understanding of Cadfael's more scientific methods. But he generally gives him the benefit of the doubt because Cadfael gets the results. They end up becoming good friends.
What makes this show is its particularly strong cast including Terrence Hardiman as Abbot Radulfus, a traditional man, of obvious weight and moral authority, but one who recognizes the usefulness of Cadfael, although the two are often at odds in terms of just how far afield Cadfael may wander into more secular affairs.
And outside of the walls of the Abbey was not always a safe place. Twelfth century England could be violent. This show is set inside the ongoing conflict for the throne between the Empress Maude and King Stephen, both who claim title to the throne of England. Cadfael and the Brotherhood often find themselves in the middle of this conflict. And even monasteries do not have the luxury of being neutral.
My only criticism of this show is that from time to time the plots can tend to be a little thick or just don't string together well into a coherent whole. But this is usually just an annoyance. The true delight of this show is in watching Derek Jacobi fully flesh out the singular and engaging character of this unusual and likable monk.
I highly recommend this series which consists of thirteen episodes. These are based on the novels (there were twenty-one in all) by Edith Pargeter writing under the name of Ellis Peters. I give this TV series 3.5 old bones out of 5.
At and around the Shewsberry abbey, Brother Cadfael is a monk with a difference. Given a choice, he would enjoy just being a simple gardener and herbalist for his home. However too often, events force him to use his other talent as a master sleuth in response to mysterious crimes happening in his community. While he investigates these crimes, he often finds himself at odds with the contemporary attitudes of the times with his own ahead of his time beliefs. More »

The town hall was originally a hunting lodge for the Counts of Holland, who
had many residences and lodges along the coastline. Later, it was converted into a town hall. The present building clearly
represents this long building history. There are many different styles to be discovered. As a whole, it is very charming and
beautifully situated on the Market Square.

NCAA reverses ruling on Silvio De Sousa, clears him for 2019-20 season
Silvio De Sousa's appeal has been approved.
On Friday afternoon, the NCAA announced that they will be reversing their original decision, allowing the Kansas center to be eligible to play during the 2019-20 season. He was suspended for the entirety of the 2018-19 season.
"Kansas appealed the NCAA staff decision of a two-season withholding to the Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee, which determined additional relief was appropriate," the NCAA said in a statement.
This decision came just hours after De Sousa's final appeal formal appeal and not a moment too soon; Wednesday marks the final day that players that have declared for the NBA draft can withdraw and return to school. It is unlikely that De Sousa would get drafted should he be forced to leave his name in the draft.
The NCAA originally determined in February that De Sousa would have to sit out the remainder of the 2018-19 season and the entire 2019-20 season after allegations arose that his guardian, Fenny Falmagne, had accepted at least $20,000 in order to steer De Sousa to Kansas. These allegations arose as a result of the FBI's investigation into corruption in college basketball.
De Sousa was a freshman during the 2017-18 season, averaging 4.0 points and 3.7 boards as Kansas made a run to the Final Four. He will join Udoka Azubuike and David McCormick in the Jayhawks oversized frontline.
NCAA president Mark Emmert made $2.9 million in 2017
Mark Emmert holds the top job of a major organization. It oversees thousands of people and generates billions in revenue. It's not surprising the guy makes a lot of money.
It always just looks silly, though, as Emmert is the president of the NCAA, which does not allow its athletes compensation beyond the scholarships schools give them. So, we'll take a minute to highlight that silliness here.
Emmert, who has led the NCAA since 2010, made $2.9 million in net compensation in 2017, USA TODAY reports after examining the organization's tax filing.
The 66-year-old was credited with $3.9 million in total compensation, but $1 million of a deferred $1.4 million payment had been reported in prior years, according to USA TODAY.
Three other NCAA executives cleared $1 million in salary in 2017.
Again, given the scope, size and profitability of college sports, it's not surprising that Emmert and his execs are well compensated, but it's always worth pointing out that finances in college athletics – from administrative and coaching salaries to facilities to travel – are all inflated because athletes are prohibited from taking part in the profit-taking.
With news coming that athletes could be in line to profit off their name and likeness sometime in the near future and the NBA signaling the end of the one-and-done era, there is progress in player compensation, but during that time, there are a lot of checks getting cashed without players' names on them.
Seven returning collegians among Team USA U19 invites
USA Basketball is welcoming seven sophomores among its 34 total invitees to training camp next month ahead of the FIBA U19 World Cup in Greece.

Notre Dame coach Mike Brey: Transferring players need 'deterrent'
WASHINGTON (AP) — The NCAA is granting too many waivers allowing players who transfer to compete immediately, Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said Wednesday, calling the requirement that players sit out a year a useful "deterrent" to players switching schools.
Brey made his comments at a meeting of the Knight Commission, a nonprofit that pushes for reform in college sports. While the commission has not taken a position on transfer waivers, it often advocates for players being given more freedom to pursue their professional ambitions.
"As coaches we're concerned about the number of waivers, to the point where the NCAA has given too much of a blueprint on how to get a waiver," Brey said. "Kids feel they can go and, you know, bring up enough of a case to get eligible right away. So they're more apt to want to go."
In April 2018, the NCAA relaxed its waiver requirements, allowing a transferring player to suit up immediately if there are "documented mitigating circumstances that are outside the student-athlete's control and directly impact the health, safety and well-being of the student-athlete."
During the 2018-19 academic year, 79 men's basketball players requested waivers and 44 were granted, a 56% success rate, according to NCAA data. Men's basketball accounted for 33% of all waiver requests, the NCAA said.
Commission co-chairman Arne Duncan, the former U.S. Secretary of Education, declined to comment on waivers but lauded the "transparency" of the NCAA's transfer portal, in which players submit their names if they want to switch schools.
Brey said he believes players should be free to transfer and that it's up to coaches to make their players want to stay, but he said sitting out a year can be beneficial and prevents players from transferring for immature or capricious reasons.
"It's a bit of a deterrent for a kid. The year in residency saves kids from themselves sometimes," Brey said. "I've seen some kids then come back, stick it out, and now they're in the lineup and they come back five years later and go, 'I was an idiot.' Because every kid thinks about (transferring) when he's not playing."
Brey's comments were one of a few examples from Wednesday's meeting of the basketball establishment pushing back against reforms that would give players more autonomy or promote transparency about the way schools profit from college athletics.
The Knight Commission is pushing the NCAA to release to the public the financial details of contracts between athletic departments and shoe and apparel companies, a proposal that has not gained much traction. In the past, the commission has persuaded the NCAA to release graduation rates and other financial data, including compensation for coaches.
"The shoe companies, there has to be agreement across the board, that there has to be willingness and openness to share all those records. Candidly, I think more work needs to be done," said Kevin Lennon, the NCAA's vice president for Division I governance. "We don't control all the third parties and their ability to cooperate with us. More conversation needs to continue to occur within the NCAA and between the NCAA and the third parties if we want to move the ball."
Two NBA executives told the commission the league is in talks with the players' union about lowering the NBA's minimum age to 18, prompted largely by a recommendation by the Commission on College Basketball to rid the sport of the "one-and-done rule."
But even that proposal is meeting some resistance in the NBA. David Krichavsky, the league's senior vice president and head of youth basketball development, said some in the league would rather raise the age limit than lower it.
"Many teams and general managers would still be in favor of going to 20, given the additional scouting information you receive on players, seeing them compete at the NCAA level for two years after high school," Krichavsky said, "but at the same time we recognize that the world has changed and will continue to change."
Brey, the president of the board of directors of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, said he'd like to see coaches reach a consensus about how to police their own behavior.
An ongoing federal investigation into illicit payments made to players during the recruiting process led Louisville to fire longtime coach Rick Pitino, but some other coaches implicated in the probe have held onto their jobs. Brey said schools ought to move more aggressively to fire coaches for cause when they violate NCAA rules.
"We all have clauses in our contracts about NCAA rules and behavior, all of us. If those are violated, doesn't that start on the campuses?" Brey said. "And no question the NABC could make a stronger stand. We have not maybe been as vocal about some of the things that have gone on."
Report: NCAA will give more notices of allegations soon
Now that the FBI's college basketball corruption cases are complete, the NCAA will likely move forward with more notices of allegations.
Speaking to ESPN's Heather Dinich on Wednesday at the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, NCAA vice president of Division I Governance Kevin Lennon said that more investigations could come "in due time and I think very quickly."
The NCAA needed to wait for the FBI's trials to finish up before launching its own investigations on schools mentioned over the past 18 months. We could see a high number of big-name programs get investigated during the NCAA's process.
"You don't get in the way of a federal investigation," Lennon said Wednesday. "Activity was going on during that span that was within our purview, but now that the court cases are done, now we're in a position where you're likely to see notices of allegations going to institutions that have violated NCAA rules, etc. I think you can anticipate notices of allegations will be coming."
Following the completion of the first FBI trial in October 2018, the NCAA already reportedly sent notice of allegations to Arizona, Kansas, NC State and Louisville. Other prominent programs, including but not limited to, Auburn, LSU, Oklahoma State and USC have also been mentioned during recent college basketball corruption trials.
While the NCAA will seek all documents that schools turned over to the federal government during legal procedures, the real difficulty in the NCAA's investigations will be getting third-party participants to speak — or even cooperate in the first place. Those not tied to the NCAA through member schools have no legal obligation to help the NCAA during their investigation process.
Wednesday's Knight Commission meeting also went over processes discussed or implemented because of the Rice Commission's April 2018 report. Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey, president of the board of directors for the NABC, made waves by questioning where accountability comes from when it comes to coaching penalties.
Asking why "there's been no hammer from the top of campus," Brey asked why schools haven't been accountable with coaches who break the rules.
"Why hasn't an athletic director or a president acted in some of these current cases?" Brey said.
"I think a lot of our coaches want to know why hasn't the hammer come down? I'm a little naïve to it. Is it legal stuff? A lot of lawyers? I think our profession would love to see the hammer be dropped on some of these situations. We need an explosion back."
Brey has every right to question where penalties are coming from since only Louisville head coach Rick Pitino has lost his job among head coaches during this scandal. There seems to be a lot of confusion on where some things stand with the NCAA, and its rules, but maybe we'll get more clarification now that the FBI trials are done.
