meet your specialist trainer Manda Denny
Manda Denny, PPDTI (Adv), Grand Master Trainer and Behavioural Therapist
Hi, I'm Manda Denny and I am your local therapist for Bark Busters Home Dog Training Wakefield & Huddersfield. I'm happily owned and loved by 4 border collies. I'm a long-time dog trainer, qualifying at an Advanced level with The Dog Training Instructors Course (DTIC) and also the Pet Dog Training Institute (PDTI) in the early 'noughties'. I now also train people to become pet dog instructors as well as people to train their own dogs. I've run regular dog classes for years, as well as masterclasses and furthered my career and joined Bark Busters back in 2006.
The route to good dog training and behaviour is creating a learning opportunity. Make it easy for your dog to learn and you will make it easy on yourself. Dogs, like people, do not handle stress. Barking, boisterousness and destructive behaviour, for example, is often a symptom of our dogs failing to understand what we expect or desire of them. Like us, they deserve to have an easy life.
In order to gain that easy life we have first to understand what is going on in our dog's head. I can help you with that so you are able to communicate with each other. Your training program will be just that… YOUR training programme, tailored to you and your dog. At Bark Busters we have long understood that cannot fit all so we look at everything that is going on in your dog's life.
My methods are positive, rewarding, humane and totally hands-off, until it's time to give your dog a fuss to reward the good behaviours. This approach is why I have been engaged to run classes for re-homed rescue dogs and why I have run sessions for rescue staff and vets in the understanding and handling of stressed dogs in their care. I don't just deal with dogs that pull, or who jump up or bark. I take a holistic approach to your situation with your dog which allows us to see success with more the more complex challenges such as Separation Anxiety and Aggression.
I can help you train out unwanted behaviours, allowing you to train in new, desirable ones. I myself enjoy participating in a number of dog sports, and the skills you will work on with me really can allow you to go on to even very high drive activities if you want to. Just ask me and I'll show you how.
Manda was brilliant. I couldn't believe how well the dogs responded to her.D.R.15th December 2019

how we can help you and your furry friend
The Bark Busters communication methods help solve behaviour issues such as aggression towards people or other animals
- Cure embarrassing habits like barking, jumping up on people, scratching & whining at doors or inappropriate toileting.
- Create an obedient dog or puppy that will happily walk on the lead without tugging, sit or stay on command, and come immediately when called.
- Set off-limit areas.
- Reduce the stress of separation anxiety without the need for sedatives or drugs.
We teach you to communicate with your pet.
Do you find yourself shouting? Do you think your pet isn't listening to you? Maybe you're simply not speaking their language. The Bark Busters communication method is based on the way how our dogs communicate with each other and how they learn from older, more experienced members in the pack. This is what makes our training unique and effective.
Why do we train in your home?
Your pet lives with a family, in a home. This is where he spends most of his time and misbehaves most often, so this is where our programme is most effective. Our dogs learn by association. Bark Busters teaches him to listen in the home environment. If he does not listen at home, he will most probably not listen outside where there are far more distractions.
In your home we teach a one-on-one system without other distractions or the stress of being sent away from you to learn.
Of course, where you are experiencing problems outside the home such as pulling on the lead or dog aggression etc..., we will set up controlled situations in the park or wherever is most practical.

|Voice Actor:
Doom Kitty is the secondary main character and possibly the other deuteragonist of the Ruby Gloom series, She is Ruby's pet black cat. She wears a red ribbon around her neck along with a little gold key with a heart-shaped hole. She has a complete free run of the mansion and is therefore usually the only one with total knowledge of what is going on in any given area of the house. This keeps her one step ahead of Ruby and the others most of the time, because whenever something strange happens in the mansion, Doom will usually have all the facts already while everyone else is still trying to figure things out. Unfortunately, since Doom can't talk, her only hope of communicating with the others is through charades. Ruby usually has a pretty easy time understanding her, but it doesn't always work. This shows that Doom hates it when she is trying to communicate, and her friends think she is playing charades.

Student engagement is key to successful teaching and learning, irrespective of the content and format of the content delivery mechanism. However, engaging students presents a particular challenge in online learning environments. Unlike face‑to‑face courses, online courses present a unique challenge as the only social presence between the faculty and the student is via the Internet. In a recent poll conducted by the authors, 100% of the respondents considered student engagement a challenge regardless of the number of years they have been teaching online. This paper explores various strategies that can be incorporated into the design of online learning courses to foster a high level of student engagement based on multiple pedagogies. In addition, the role of collaborative student engagement tools for the design and delivery of online courses is discussed as well as the role these tools play in creating an atmosphere where students actively participate in learning activities and are contributors to lively discussions. Perspectives on various mechanisms of student engagement that are founded in classic active learning pedagogies and enhanced with new technologies are presented in this paper, including perspectives on the design of courses to facilitate student engagement as well as best practices of design and delivery of online courses. Finally, this paper emphasizes the importance of deliberate course design in the pursuit of actively engaging students in online course settings.

The 21st century marks the beginning of digital age with the extensive use of digital media, mobile devices, and Internet resources. Recent studies found that this digital era has expanded the landscape of student experiences, and educational technologies as well as increased the educator's awareness on embracing technologies to promote effective learning. This has redefined the meaning of effective learning and the approaches in motivating students. Therefore, redesigning the learning environments plays an important role in enhancing the students' experiences in the university classrooms. In this study, the 21st century class environment is designed by mapping Jonassen's model and Gagne's events to employ the constructivist learning approach, organize the information processing, and design the instructions to support effective learning. In order to study student's perception in the 21st century class environment, this study employed the mixed methods approach, includes conducting exploratory factor analysis on the questionnaire response and the qualitative analysis on students' comments. The research samples were formed by 300 undergraduate degree students who studied at INTI International University, Malaysia. The exploratory factor analysis has identified four main factors, group learning, motivation, skills development and knowledge transfer. In the discussion, this study presents the key attributes, the main contributors to the attributes and its impact on student learning. For instance, the factor of group learning can be stimulated by emphasizing on the identified key attributes, such as improved work relationship, improved leadership, and refined collaborative learning which enhancing student learning experience as they are keen to attempt different approach, and anticipate changes. This study aims to identify the factors and elaborate the key attributes for supporting the strategies in transforming the university class environment to enhances students' learning experiences and promote effective learning.

Eulogy of the "adopted" nephew
Left to right: Mamina (my great grandma), abuelo Sergio, me on his lap, my mom
A couple of days ago, my grandpa died, my abuelo Sergio. I have been thinking what I could possibly say or write about him. Abuelo Sergio was the most stable male presence in my life. Seeing him and his wife always made me think that marriage can work, that you can be sickeningly in love with someone after 20-odd and 30-odd years. He represented everything that was good, manly, and loving in my eyes. He always smelled of shaving cream and tobacco, he always had a poem to make you laugh, a word to heal a wound. He is and always will be one of my favorite people in this world, closer to my heart than I could possibly express.
I wasn't able to attend his funeral or be there with my family. I wish I could have been there – but I was through their many texts and emails and calls. And since I wasn't able to be there, my mom shared something with me that brought tears to my eyes, to the eyes of those who were there and of those who have since read it as well. They are the words of someone who was a friend and became family. This is my translation.
It would be inappropriate to say "good afternoon" on this occasion, so I will simply say hello to you all on this, the afternoon on which we accompany Sergio and his family. I have the pleasure of already knowing most of you; however, out of respect for those of you I have not met, my name is Jemil. I am a friend, co-worker and adopted nephew of Silvina and Sergio. I would like to share with you my personal experience with this great man, as I'm sure that many of us have had feelings and impressions similar to those I am about to describe to you.
I met Sergio almost ten years ago, and I must admit that we both began with a left foot. Somehow, we both clashed during our first impression and our initial relationship was more diplomatic than sincere. It wasn't until a little over three years ago when we had the chance to spend time together and get to know each other better. This time, the relationship was so positive that he adopted me as a nephew and I adopted him as my uncle. Today I have the good fortune and the sorrow of saying goodbye to him. Sorrow is what my selfish side feels- I wish he could be with us much longer; however, my human side feels lucky, as it understands that this great person was prisoner in a body that was sick and weary and needed to be free.
A man of more than a thousand words, wise counselor and friend, passionate about his tastes and pleasures, he was an encyclopedia of poetry and an atlas of our Mexico. It was a pleasure to sit next to him and hear his describe the destinations and roads he traveled for so many years. He painted an image with such vivid details that I could swear I visited some of those places. There was never a conversation that didn't make its way, however briefly, to the subject of gastronomy; I have never eaten a panucho, but [thanks to him] I know what one tastes like! And, as always, after food, a good conversation about politics was never too far away. He had a special humorous view and precision on the subject; many times I thought he should have been a political analyst. But his heart… his heart was in bullfighting, an authentic connoisseur of the world of tauromachy. We he spoke of bulls and bullfighters, plazas and Spanish-style bullfighting, of those he once witnessed, he would express a passion that I have not often seen.
The most admirable thing about my uncle Sergio was how he lived his life, because there is no one who shows more love for life than he who uses it and takes full advantage of it to love, learn and share. With this exemplary will he fought against his cancer for over eight years. Beyond the pain and discomfort, he would ferociously go to work and it was impossible to dissuade him.
On this day, after so much time, his body gave up, tired after such a long voyage, and decided that it was time to turn the light off and go to sleep in order to be able to retake that path that we all will one day follow. But it is only his body that we will no longer see among us, because a person like him leaves a mark on everyone of us lucky enough to cross his path. His memory and the many things we learned from him will live forever in our minds and hearts.
Sergio, rest in peace. Here you lived a great life, and where you are going, an even better one is waiting."

Exxon in last few days has announced a couple things one is that Daddy incentives to suspend ... the ... expiration for shale gas in Poland ... a few days ago that it said it was gone and beef up ... its efforts in Siberia with Rosneft its Russian partners to try and ... develop shale resources that ... and ... he almost on the surface that looks like a plot of the pot and because I'm and is desperate to break its reliance on Russian gas on ... any time ... company withdraws from from it it shows that just a difficult it's gonna be to develop shale resource that ... Adelson looks like a boon for Russian leader of Russia's very dependent on oil and gas exports and ... hear any foreign help they can get to develop those resources looks good ... aam but I would say that actually he in some ways both countries are in the same but regardless what Exxon is down because ... of the more people miss is that ... it isn't really just about you having the right resources in place and if that was the case Russia and China will be far away to United and developing this stuff that much quicker than the US ... the fund is the US the sun and voltage is ... an inherent to that which which given the contests advantage of other areas of the law such as it was a phrase awful United he think about the whiney ... shale gas has been developed and has been developed by lots of small companies ... going on to ... land on my Fama's he ... critically on in the resource rights on the knee the land which is that which is ... the model here there is a very common in the Russell was ... with us is the forties it makes it easier for what I wanted really because they just have to ... have one person agreeing with I'll say gives the land on the tuna an incentive to actually allow you to come home to his land and and ... put up with the inconvenience of each having a trailing then again I chance they can ... on the other thing you have here is in a very deep financial markets so that will be small companies can raise money ... for bondholders investors ... and also very well to the futures market so they can actually had to the risk that they cannot take in developing this cast ... an unknown cause the cash flows of they can be getting ... none of this already exists in many other markets around the world may be counted and maybe the UK ... of the setting on Russia weigh in on rising not a property rights and really all that help define ... aam and is the same issue in Parliament unity ... you don't have to give big oil yet and and that the developing competitive US market has been taken over by smaller companies and what you did you time breaking to the US what you will sweat well this is what some is on the net sum for XTO Energy spent ... roughly forty billion dollars buying the company is a God ... many people think that was ... a mis timed steel because of boredom when gas prices still up around five or six dollars ... aam ... of buckets of tomatoes in it still remains the scene was the big oil is gonna be unable ... to really take what's been done in the US and replicates it elsewhere because this is um I'm not troll ... common area for them in of the goal is much more about ... taking a very big projects like for Tumpel Windex skies very big gas projects in the Middle East ... I'm managing these complex projects were show is much more of a common of a wild pass to ... the C United ... these these kind of guys on the edge of the industry got in on a hunch and ... drew a few wells and and you know they've made a great success with its own really Exxon's model I see and so to all that that may not big oil companies whose gun the engine shale ... and she just additional exploration show expiration on Chevron ... has a pretty nice position in the US and sounds of shale liquids and liquids is well the money is now because gas prices so much ... you know at some overseas to XTO has a big position but it remains to be seen how well it's gonna make an ... IPO of that ... show is another company with a big position stocks oil and Norway's national company has also been staking things out ... and even beyond the Chinese have been trying to ... develop the partnerships ... in the US because they have huge shale reserves in China that difficulty again ... is they don't really have the financial on the painting ... to develop a little so they suffer from not a lack of water resources ... in the export potential underpinning the bugis to develop ... a Jean-Marc kid or ... two market of Will ... you buy from you and he could but um you know those things if you think about those things that I can the US that to the U S debt takes the buildup by the time it's not really the kind of thing you can just ... indeed the common and come on get down on the ground ... said well thank you so sick of being with us thanks ... the ... big ... issue all the presidential candidates and the biggest event in the Bay is budgets ... will see why one are a common bagels doesn't like or Romney as the Senate ... if the bigger bigger presidential debate battleground how about budgets and how ... to make yet ... the US more viable going for it that ... Obama and I may Romney have the squaring up with this and that ... that we are not joined Rex Nutting who has written a very interesting column about how he didn't think that the Romney plan says the knot with that is good enough here this ... ranks up but has to be given as a CEO I and that ... thank you for joining us that ... your column that doesn't leave ... much to the mighty nation he says the headline is critically if it from the budget plan does not add up ... what's the what's wrong with ... well Romney's budget plan is very iam imprecise it's not the tail that Austin see on the revenue side ... when it comes in and says David Cottle outstanding ... but he also is going to cut a lot of taxes and ... um there's a lot of special Asterix in his budget ... on planet that Congressional budget office just can't ... think in that it is no way that they can score ... so a few other groups of kind of trying to score and and ... and they think that Sam does not to be Obel balance the budget ... because he's cutting taxes just as much is cutting spending ... so so is the questioning process and all of this structure issues that the budget the the the the proposal doesn't call ... yet you know I I look at some some things that really make it hard to balance our budget in United States and the number one thing is that we have a huge army huge military ... no other country in the world tries ... to spend that ... big of a percentage of GDP ... on the military ... the second a second one is that we have a very inefficient health care system and that ... impacts both public and private spending ... and then the third thing is that our taxes are already very low compared to other advanced country so if you put those three things together it's very very hard to get to bow to one group says that the that he would be five percent of GDP on the Romney that's a pretty substantial number right ... well you know that's just a guess ... on them but that is a big big ... number under under Amin Upromise plan ... I'm which you know he presented that he didn't get any votes so it's not really a realistic plan politically but his plan would would ... would aam ... to stabilize the deficit of around three percent ... of through the middle to the beginning of next decade and then after that ... the baby boomer retirements began to put so much pressure on health care especially that ... the of the deficits with the devil the growth we don't get something is out of the head to head to be a cynic but isn't this just before the warranty company as his that campaign promises and then ... whoever gets like that without the hot sauce to actually balancing the budget in ways that we don't even know ... well I think it is politics and a lot of a large ... degree that that that people have ... you know one thing one message for the campaign and the women governing it's much different because the governing of course you have to ... deal with all the other up actors especially the Congress the president is a ... dictator ... and so whatever plan of the president has is is not really going to stick with a call and Washington dead on arrival but that doesn't mean ... he's not a significant player in doesn't mean that we can ... begin to think about how to achieve this so you know deal with the fiscal problems we have ... this is that my feeling is that we're not really being honest plan on putting up the numbers ... I get so although the three structure issue that you mention of a time to tackle ... all these the military so ... there's not much good that way ... well ... he now it's tackling the military is very tough thing to do but even the Pentagon agrees that ... there's some cuts to be made their seditious and they don't need a space is they don't need ... um maybe we need to ... to to center our strategy the Pentagon does that and and there's no there's no reason to think we could do with class and the military cited people to take a lot of planning ... aam but he could be done ... I guess the other question is you know what does anybody care coming to the lectern go through ... the budget house with a fine tooth comb as you have and then the site's who to vote for him based on the budget plan ... no I don't think so you know people say that they're worried about the deficit but I don't really think they are that much I think people like this standing ... in a poll show that people like almost every program that there is that there is out there except maybe ... for net foreign aid and for ... and then something the Pentagon is terribly popular in the red and they want low taxes so I I don't really think that there's this no groundswell for ... let's balance the budget ... the details of the old ways I mean that's it's very difficult for people to say that they'd like ... to the light of that is but they like the spending and allowed the low taxes and its something has to give ... yell well you know ... it's something we'll give it a sometime in the future doesn't have to happen now I think that the voters don't really have a lot of information about what the budget ... really involved in as part of the reason why one to write this column was to show people ... really certain what the ... what the Proms are ... by Rex anxious to much of a nice column I think activity to read it that thanks so much for being with us ... Ally you may notice though some news out of the weekend of the law of the Greece said the ID party that does not want to leave the euro was ... that that was that you should be out ... of the scene as a good thing by the markets ... up but you can see the European market so where family made a that'd be deferred to without the little bit ... of the French market was down there that had the Gemini give up either Greece markets up a lot but that was the day thinly traded market ... to sort out and all this man's we have one of the best strategies ... on that Wall Street gets the win import debt ... at Credit Suisse of the strategy said Joinus from ah long done ... ideal ... I'm thinking so much for being here ... you've sentences go to their friends over to ... play to see if ... I ... use it says to me that the really it was too expensive to think about a Greek exit soul ... of wild of the election lead us now ... well the election and that ... leaves this with ... the ... result but I think as recently as expected ... um I think the more interesting counterfactual would be and what would happen if Teresa had one where I think we would've been able to test the idea but really they have no choice but to stay ... in the euro if they were to form a government ... so I know that I think is one of the market is a little bit mixed today is because this outcome ... read the didn't attend fun enough but have only owned the connection ... I think there are a much more unfortunately a little respect to the Greek electorate ... Pall full forces at work ... which means the days just in the interests of all policies ... notes have agrees over Greek election ... trigger ... a bad outcome ... of course as other countries in euro and bought the Arizona market was still hope ... that you did today was that that was bad news coming out of Spain ... so how does that play into the of the Greek debt situation ... well we have a very big day coming up in Spain as we start to put some real numbers of with the help of all of a one on the cost of the banking crisis in Spain ... we expect although want reported number that is less than a hundred billion which is available ... then looking at this top down ... but we've always said that this crisis is all about Spain ... the reason for that is if you think about it it's actually now resisted the key for the European authorities taken ... to heart but the fact is I think ... mix is to press was absolutely ... correct in his analysis Bain will pay the bills anyway ... so you can just see a situation and with Greece yet ... what ... what ... well to follow through thank you so much for being with us ... but about registering ... think well that was the show for of for today he added that the great

The average Millersville student living on campus will use that card almost every day and a commuter will use it almost every weekday of the semester they are attending classes, and because of this, losing that ID can send any student into a panic.
Experiencing this panic causes students to want to find their Millersville ID card as fast as possible. They do not know where to go. Having to decide whether they should search or simply pay to renew another card. Usually ending up choosing the latter. Since searching for their card is stressful.
There are scattered lost-and-found crates across campus. One at the information desk at the Student Memorial Center, every cafeteria, library, certain education facilities, and the admissions office at Lyle Hall. When a Millersville ID is found it can end up at any of these numerous locations because whoever finds the ID takes it usually the lost-in-found box closest to them.
The ID could have been dropped next to the fountains by the library, but the person may have worked at the Winter Center and choose to leave it in the lost-and-found there. This kind of situation may cause the Millersville ID to be placed in a location a student is unaware of. Maybe a place they do not visit as his or her classes are located primarily elsewhere in other buildings. A student usually may not have the time, nor communication and knowledge to recover their Millersville ID card.
There is a lack of organization for this difficult situation, and there should be one location where all the lost IDs are sent. The best locations are the information desk at the Student Memorial Center or the Boyer Building where the cards are renewed. Students can easily be given their IDs back at the same place they're made. If there was a system to help alleviate a student's worry on this matter it would helpful to ease an exhausting situation. When there is worrying about eating and entering university facilities.

The human brain has an incredible capacity for innovation, inspiration and greatness; It can also cripple those who appear strong on the outside with intense feelings of self doubt and a shattered confidence on the inside. For the last year, I have been struggling with the latter. I have talked myself out of acting on so many ideas its embarrassing for me to admit. Blogging is just one of those ideas.
Christina and I stopped writing our blog a few years ago mostly because of me. We were writing a lot about politics at the time and I was becoming negative. I didn't like that – I am usually very positive and I wanted to get back to my true self.
We totally stepped away from politics for a while. I finally took and completed my Executive MBA, an achievement I'm proud of. I quit a high paying and relatively easy job as Vice President with Merit Contractors Association; I was getting negative in that job as well because I was lobbying government for changes I believe strongly in and I was fighting with a lot of people. I wanted to stop fighting.
Christina and I recently welcomed beautiful twin boys into the world and we are now trying to make a living though our company, CIPR Communications – its been going fairly well, but I've doubted myself a lot in the transition from employee to entrepreneur. Its been difficult
My life is completely different now than it was then. In many ways, its so much better but in some ways, its worse. That damned self doubt and lack of confidence seems to have crept into my life and it has stopped me from acting on many of the things I dream about achieving and want in my life.
So strange the human mind – the internal battles we have with ourselves. We watch people we admire and want to be more like them. We tell ourselves that tomorrow we will do this and that toward our goals and then we do nothing. We feel crippled. Stuck. Weak. Defeated. WTF?
I post this blog today as a first step away from self doubt and diminished confidence. Its my way to turn my ideas into action. I'm blogging again because I like to write. I find it therapeutic – I learned this when I wrote my late mother's eulogy. I am blogging again because I want to.
Maybe this blog is a confession. Maybe it's a declaration. Maybe its an internal call to action. I don't know and I don't think it matters.
I am reviving PCinYYC with a renewed focus. Much less about politics and much more about life. Life as an entrepreneur trying desperately and shamelessly to build a business around the lifestyle I want. Life as a dad to twin boys who wants to be a positive inspiration for those little bundles of amazingness. Life as a human being going through the constant ups and downs that define the human experience.
These are the things I will write about and I hope that you will join me in this journey. I hope that you will comment and share your thoughts, wisdom, struggles and achievements. I hope that together we can overcome and we can celebrate all of the greatness that has yet to be discovered.

When it comes to professional motorsports, popularity with fans is great.
On the other hand, popularity with your rivals may be even better.
Call me crazy, but the professionals' adulation for Tony Kanaan's biggest win, this year's Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, reminded me of the late Dale Earnhardt's Daytona 500 victory.
Sure the teams didn't line up picture perfect to salute as "TK" cruised down the pits to victory lane like the NASCAR boys did for the Intimidator. And I certainly don't remember any rival man hugging Earnhardt back then.
That said, the similarities were stronger than particular differences.
Read what former Indy car driver and co-owner of KV Racing Technology, Jimmy Vasser, had to say about the Brazilian-born pilot.
"He's been a leader of the drivers since he was younger, back in the days of Dario (Franchitti), (the late) Greg (Moore). Just a lot of camaraderie. He's always out there to help younger drivers coming up with different information. He's just a great leader of the drivers. That's why it's such a popular victory."
Stalwart stock car fans will remember that it was Earnhardt who mentored a rookie, "Wonder Boy," better known now as four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon. Also Earnhardt seemed to be the unofficial driver's representative with officials.
Not many people outside the inner sanctum of the IndyCar paddock know what a mentor Kanaan is. And I seem to remember he spoke about safety for drivers when he worked with Mo Nunn's team.
He drove for few years driving for Nunn's small team, in the now-defunct Champ Car team, with limited on-track success. Off the track he was one of the "young lions" which included Max Papis, Dario Franchitti, and Moore. They bonded like the Shakespeare's (and later Steven Ambrose's book turned into a mini-series) Band of Brothers.
When Michael Andretti became a team owner a new band of brothers came into being consisting of Kanaan, Franchitti, Bryan Herta and late Dan Wheldon.
In those days Herta got the experimental pieces and Kanaan was supposed to help the young Wheldon mature as a driver. Franchitti was already a championship contender.
Coincidentally, he's been a big help to rookie, runner-up, Carlos Munoz.
"We go go-karting together in Miami," said the 38-year-old. "It's funny because (on) Carb Day, he made a pass on me on the short chute. We don't do that very often. I didn't talk to him. I thought, 'this kid is good.' "
Lessons do have their limits, "I put the same pass on him," Kanaan added. "Here you go, kid. With three to go, when I saw him behind me, I said, 'all right, man, let's start the lessons here.' But it went yellow, so..." The rest is history.
It's hard for me to remember all the drivers who came to victory lane this day to congratulate TK. I do recall Franchitti, Alex Zanardi, and Papis.
Even former teammate, and now rival as a team owner, Herta tweeted, "DW (Wheldon), @dariofranchitti, @TonyKanaan side by side forever on the Borg Warner, could not be any happier for my brothers."
Of course the crowd went wild, and even safety officials hugged the winner.
So maybe I'm not so crazy to compare Kanaan's post race love fest to Earnhardt's because Kanaan had seen it, too. "I was already in America when he did that," he said. "I thought it was so cool. I came down pit lane. It was not the same, but it was close. I saw a lot of teams and people that thought I really deserved to win. It was awesome. It's a great feeling."

Association health plans could enroll 3.2 million enrollees by 2022, according to a new analysis from Avalere Health, released Wednesday. Such plans would mainly enroll primarily healthy working people.
"Consumers are always looking for a new low-cost health insurance option, but migration of healthy people to a new product will ultimately take a toll on what is presently being sold in the market," said Dan Mendelson, president of Avalere, in a press release.
President Trump issued a proposed rule in January to allow trade groups and small businesses to band together for the purpose of purchasing health insurance.
The analysis also estimates that premiums would rise in the Affordable Care Act's individual market by 3.5% and in the small group market by 0.5% over projections under current law.

Although it sounds like the name of a condo development, The Dunearn is – surprise – a restaurant. It's located within the guild house at NUS' Bukit Timah Campus, which is not exactly the kind of place you'd just happen to chance upon. You do rather need to know what you're looking for.
There are various complicated set menu options available. We picked the 3-course option, where you pick any starter/soup, main and dessert from the menu for $49. The 4- and 5-course options went for $59 and $69 respectively.
The food was pretty good. James and I both had the foie gras, prepared two different ways. Mine had pork floss on it and was supposed to be a signature dish. It was an interesting garnish, but I wouldn't exactly crave it again. The liver also tasted just a bit meatier than I've had previously.
The mains were more exciting. I had the shimeji risotto with scallops, and enjoyed it very much. You just can't go wrong with mushrooms and cheese, for one. The scallops were plump and juicy, just a little on the small side.
James had a steak, which he ordered medium rare but which arrived medium. The meat was very tender and juicy, so he didn't quibble over the done-ness.
My dessert was called a "phyllo apple", which the server explained rather badly at the point of ordering. I'd expected something like a crepe or a pancake based on his description, but it turned out to be apple filling rolled within delicate layers of crispy phyllo/filo pastry.
We had a great meal at a very decent price point, but I'm still in two minds about returning because of the ambivalent service. But maybe that's the hidden cost of reasonably-priced dining.

Despite a jovial stadium crowd, following a much-anticipated rugby league game between the Toa Samoa and Mate Ma'a Tonga. The crowd of fans largely supported their respective teams peacefully in Hamilton, however in South Auckland Tongan fans attacked each despite Tonga's 32-18 win over Samoa. Watch match highlights and a coordinated siva tau (Samoan haka) and sipi tau (Tongan haka) from the teams below
Tonga came away with the victory on Saturday night following a good match between the two Pacific island nations.
There had been calls for calm for most of last week following skirmishes between the two communities, from community and political leaders, to police and the players themselves.
In fact ahead of kick off the players joined in unity for prayer, before a coordinated siva and sipi tau challenge- which encouraged the 17,000+ crowd of supporters. The display of unity brought with it a positive force.
The Challenge:
Things went relatively well in Hamilton, despite a security guard being 'king hit' outside of the venue and taken to hospital, and four arrests during the game – three for pitch invasions, and one for being drunk.
With a further 20 people evicted from the ground for bringing in prohibited items or for intoxication.
Beyond this fans were well behaved during the game at Waikato Stadium, where Tonga proved too good for Samoa as they powered to a 32-18 victory.
Samoa never once managed to overtake and lead in points despite an absolutely solid effort- at one point taking the scores to a draw.
Afterwards fans were reported to leave in high spirits, good sportsmanship seen as Samoans and Tongans celebrated in the stands.
The NZ Herald reported a police spokeswoman advised there had been no incidents reported in or outside the ground as of about 8pm.
However in South Auckland footage emerged of a night of shocking violence as Tongan supporters clashed using weapons following the Mate Ma'a Tonga's victory- it is unsure what started the row which saw 29 people arrested for disorderly behavior which largely took place between 10pm-2am following the game.

The Lexis® HD Mobile Legal Research App from LexisNexis
Lexis HD gives today's mobile lawyers the sources they need most while on the go, including a streamlined tool providing an efficient and user-friendly interface to access materials.
This short video illustrates how legal professionals can transform the way they conduct legal research with Lexis® mobile solutions. Users can conduct comprehensive research, quickly find the most relevant results and ensure their research is "good law" with Shepard's® Citations Service. Just launch the Lexis app from your preferred mobile device and access your desktop, saved files and work folders right from that phone or tablet, even when you are offline.
The Mobile Surge
Mobile applications for legal research are rapidly becoming as ubiquitous as the smart devices on which they run. For traditional vendors of legal research technology, the race is on to capture the attention and the screens of today's mobile lawyers.
The Web version of Lexis has certainly won its share of accolades, but can its award-winning functionality be replicated on the small screen?
With a clean, streamlined interface, Lexis HD is optimized for the modern mobile experience. From access to primary and secondary legal sources to document editing directly within the app itself, Lexis HD is a powerful entry in the company's suite of products.
Review of Lexis HD
Lexis HD is the mobile app version of RELX Group's flagship legal research platform, Lexis. Designed to offer much of the same lauded functionality of the Web-based version, it is currently available for the Apple® iPad®. (There is a different app, just called Lexis, available for the iPhone®.) A free download from the iTunes Store®, it works in both online and offline modes. Though the offline mode offers less functionality than when the app is connected to the Internet, Lexis HD is designed to assist users in taking legal research on the road.
Ease of Use
Upon launch, the Lexis HD app presents users with a clean interface and two simple choices. Users can sign in using their existing Lexis credentials or they can choose to work offline. By signing in, one is given access to the LexisNexis® content universe for searching and browsing. The offline functionality only works if the user has saved documents and chosen to make them available for offline reading and editing. Actual searching requires the user be logged in. It is really fairly intuitive at this early stage.
After signing in, things get a little more complex, but not so much so that the intuitive feel of the interface is lost. In fact, once a user starts playing around with Lexis HD, it becomes rather straightforward. They should prepare to do a lot of swiping, mind you.
It is all very intuitive thanks to an excellent set of drop-down menus. There is even a handy command that allows users to Shepardize® a case or law by simply typing "shep:" followed by the citation (note that the colon is required). The same functionality is accessed by clicking the Shepard's® button to the right of the top banner.John DiGilio, National Manager, Research Services for Reed Smith, LLP
Not everything that is available on the Web version of Lexis is available via the mobile app, and, of course, the user's subscription dictates access to what is available. Lexis HD is designed to give lawyers and researchers what they are likely to need most while on the go.
The number of sources, over 19,000, includes primary and secondary legal materials, news (which appears to be the largest single source category), scientific materials, forms, dockets, jury instructions and more. When it comes to browsing and narrowing these materials, multiple source groups within the same category can be selected.
Search Functionality
The search functionality of Lexis HD is really quite outstanding. When users start typing terms in the search box, the app will begin predicting the terms and sources the searcher may want to include in a handy pull down. For instance, typing "statute" presents legal phrases such as "statute of limitations" and "long arm statute" among others. Sources such as state statute collections are also included in the list. It is just a matter of users clicking the phrases or sources they want included.
Results Presentation and Delivery
The results presented include everything one might expect of the LexisNexis experience—the status flags, parallel and linked citations, and even term browsing. Results can be viewed as a side list with full view in the main window or singularly in a full-screen format. Headnotes, footnotes, summaries, core terms and prior history are all right there with applicable hyperlinks. Cases and statutes can be Shepardized™ directly from the viewing pane as well.
Standalone Access
Accessing Lexis HD requires a Lexis subscription. A Lexis user ID and password is necessary for conducting any kind of research with it. Accordingly, the materials presented as being in- and out-of-plan are governed by that subscription. Institutional users will be bound by the contracts of their firms and organizations. The out-of-plan listings are particularly helpful for those looking to keep their research cost-effective! With the exception of setting favorite topics and sources, however, the app functions powerfully and robustly all on its own.
Continuity Between Site and App
There is quite a bit of interplay between the Lexis site and its accompanying mobile app. As mentioned above, users have to use the actual site to set favorite sources and topics. The same is true of creating alerts.
Usage Reporting and Billing
One final area of importance for most users, especially those in law firms, is the question of how using the mobile app factors into usage reporting and billing. This is fairly straightforward. Usage of the Lexis HD app is reported along with the charges incurred on the site. Billing is the same whether users accessed the content from their desktop browsers or mobile devices. The charges do not differ. Just as users are asked to set a client billing number while on the site, the same prompts appear within the app. Here again, the interplay between the two platforms is pleasantly seamless.
Review Summary
In a market that is becoming quickly saturated with application possibilities and alternatives, the challenge for vendors like LexisNexis is to create a tool that truly distinguishes itself from the rest.
Success in this market seems to hinge as much on practicality as it does on functionality. Fortunately, Lexis HD packs a healthy dose of each. The information a user needs most is a few taps away and the functionality to make it useful on the fly and when not connected to the Internet is powerfully evident.
In creating the Lexis HD app, it is clear that the folks at LexisNexis were not looking to needlessly replicate the totality of the Web-based product and experience. Instead, the focus of development seems to have been on giving today's mobile lawyers not just the sources they need most while on the go, but also a streamlined tool that provides access to those materials in an efficient and user-friendly way.John DiGilio, National Manager, Research Services for Reed Smith, LLP
Lexis HD
Get your hands on the award-winning Lexis® mobile app that was identified by eWEEK and the Consumer Electronics Association as the only innovative mobile app designed to support job efficiency for lawyers. Please note you must have a current Lexis subscription and valid ID/password to utilize this app.

A lot of entrance examinations are going to be conducted in the near future for the next academic year. Millions of students are eagerly waiting for these entrance examinations in order to pursue their higher education. And there is no exception for MBA aspirants.
The MBA entrance examinations in India usually daunt the students because of the unique set of rules, syllabus and others factors. When most of the MBA entrance examinations are all set to release their exam notification and invite applicants, students have to take a wise call while choosing an MBA entrance exam.
The decision of choosing the right MBA entrance exam depends on various issues. It is also said that taking every MBA entrance examination such as CAT, XAT and IIFT is not a good idea. Indeed, aspirants have to choose based on the exam difficulty. Here are some of the tips which can help you choose the right MBA entrance examination.
Financial Burden
The first and foremost point should be money. The MBA entrances such as CAT and SNAP will not come cheap though you cleared the exam with the best score. Starting from the exam fee to semester fee, everything is costly.
Of course, aspirants no need to worry about the quality of teaching. If you find the amount is beyond your limit, you can opt for other MBA entrance examination including the state-level ones. If you have a sponsor, you can eliminate this point.
Based On B-Schools
The final end point is to get an admission at a B-school and taking an entrance examination is just a medium. If an entrance examination provides you with a great opportunity for an admission to the perfect B-school, then you can choose that entrance exam without any second opinion. However, there will be a huge competition for such entrance examinations. Never forget this point.
Believe Your Dream
Many students aim to pursue their management studies specifically at one institute. Under such circumstances, candidates should keep their focus only on the required entrance exam. For instance, if you want to pursue your MBA at XLRI in Jamshedpur, then focus only on XAT. Choosing the institute prior to your application process saves time and money besides keeping you on track for the preparation.
Depending Upon Test Location
Not all the MBA entrance examinations are conducted at major cities in the country. There are a few MBA entrance exams where the test is conducted in only one or two cities. Aspirants are advised to consider this point because it involves both money and time.
If you find test centres farther from your location, you need to bear the travel expenses. If the date of an entrance exam clash or fall very close to each other, taking an exam at different locations will get extremely difficult. Hence, check all the exam and counselling dates prior to the application process.
Choose Based On Your Strengths
As we said above, each MBA entrance examination has its own syllabus and test format. You need to assess your skills and should opt only those entrance exams which match your strengths. You should also consider the test format before choosing an MBA entrance exam.
Opt The Fair One Between Two
If you've found that the institute opted by you accepts two or more entrance examinations, then, it is advised to choose the test which is easier for you. There are many institutes in India that accept more than two entrance examinations. Go to the official website of institute and verify prior to finalising your decision.
Apart from the above tips, aspirants can also choose the entrance exam based on the course or institute.
