General Plastics Launches High-Temperature, Low CTE LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4800 Tooling Board
LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4800 offers a dimensionally stable, thermally superior tooling foam as a viable material alternative to metallic tooling.
General Plastics Manufacturing Company, a global supplier of high-performance polyurethane foam products and composite parts, today announced the launch of LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4800 high-temperature tooling board. It is a thermally-stable tooling board ideal for use in applications with challenging performance requirements found in the aerospace, automotive and composite-manufacturing industries. It fills the gap for companies producing high-tolerance parts and who are looking for a tooling system that is both cost-effective and dimensionally predictable and stable.
LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4800 is ideal for use in applications with peak temperatures up to 480°F (249°C) and continuous use temperatures up to 400°F (204°C). It is also an excellent alternative to metallic tooling due to a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is similar to that of aluminum. In addition, FR-4800 is only a third of the density of aluminum with an offered density of 48 pounds per cubic foot.
The FR-4800 tooling board provides a much-needed high-temperature, low CTE tooling board alternative that enables the manufacture of tools and parts for prototypes, concept proofs, and short-run production parts. As monolithic graphite tooling continues to increase in use, complexity and size, the ability to create those surfaces accurately and quickly becomes even more challenging with the current options. "The FR-4800 tooling board is the next generation of material that is very well-suited to perform as the tool or as a foam master for carbon fiber tooling. It can be easily and quickly machined to very complex shapes and deliver the needed foam master in less time and less overall cost than other tooling methods," said Mitchell Johnson Ph.D., CEO/President of General Plastics.
The FR-4800 is used in applications similar to General Plastics' other high-temperature tooling foam, LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4700, but if offers additional advantages. FR-4800 provides customers a tooling board with improved thermal performance due to its lower CTE, higher processing temperature, and improved thermal conductivity. According to Johnson, "our goal with LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4800 was to create a predictable and reliable tooling board that can serve applications where dimensional stability does not dramatically impact autoclave cycle times." Its CTE is also reliable and repeatable, which allows designers to calculate a tooling correction factor and improve their ability to produce more accurate tooling surfaces.
LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4800 can be easily machined, has a consistent cool-down rate, does not warp and is dimensionally predictable, even at elevated temperatures. Applications for this product include fiber-reinforced composites, high-temperature resin systems, prepreg composite layup tools, foam master, monolithic tools and molds and prototype tooling. Commercially available high temperature adhesives and sealants typically used with syntactic or urethane tooling boards can be used with FR-4800. Please consult our technical sales representatives for more information.

I really enjoyed my stay last year in the private little treehouse. No snoring, just the creek singing to me all night!
I really enjoyed my stay last year in the private little treehouse. No snoring, just the creek singing to me all night!
I mailed a resupply there and stayed a night there in 2010 when Curtis was still alive. Got a hot shower too! No problems. I was very happy that SB was where it was, right after coming out of the Smokies NOBO. Hope the business continues to be successful for many more years as it's a great boon to hikers.

cooking options, titanium and aluminum pots, and buck saws on the planet
I have stayed there several times, I miss Curtiss, Semper Fi and RIP, he was a true salt of the earth. I will be back in the spring for a hike to Hot Springs. Marie, I'll bring you some more of those jumbo south Florida Avocados. Does Rocket and Lumpy still reside there?
The first anniversary of Curtis' death was just a few days ago. The hostel is indeed very much open for the 2016 season, and they expect a really big season. Maria (Curtis' wife) still runs the place; the always helpful Lumpy is the Caretaker; they still hold mail, do shuttles, and are dog friendly. More more information about this great place, check in your Companion or AWOL guidebook. Oh, they also have adequate re-supply to get you to nearby Hot Springs, as well as offering all sorts of food and drink you can prepare and enjoy on the premises.
I stayed there once' I think it was the 1 st or 2nd year. I enjoyed my stay, got refreshed & had a great time with the other guests! Years later while driving to a wedding my wife & I stopped so she could see a hostel, my non hiking wife was very impressed,,, there is the best recommendation I can give! My WIFE Liked SBF!!!
standing bear.jpgstanding bear 3.jpgstanding bear 2.jpgstanding bear 4.jpg
I was there last week and Maria seemed to be doing just fine. I don't think she will mind if I post a couple of pic.
Best daggum hostel on the trail! Followed closely by Four Pines. I've had the great pleasure to work and stay there 2012, 2013, 2014. NOBODY works harder and takes better care of hikers than Maria Guzman - I don't care what you "heard". I miss you Curtis, Rockit, and Old Jack too. Hi lumpy.

First, my condolences on the loss of your husband.
It is so impressive that you scope out the resale shops looking for great deals to pass on to your guests! That is so considerate of you! Please, do not apologize for needing to "make a living." Obviously, that is a necessity.
While I rarely stay in hostels on my yearly 100-200 mile section hikes, I plan to visit your hostel in the next month. I look forward to meeting you!
After I parked at Standing Bear,
used one of its shuttles,
returned to the hostel after a short section hike, and then had a refreshing hot shower; I took some photos of the place to give people an idea of what it is like.
If youre wondering how to get there
either while hiking south from Hot Springs or after taking Exit 451 from I-40, this photo
shows where to hike (or drive) after going under the expressway. Just go up this gravel road until you see this combo marker/sign on your right
The marker correctly states that continuing south on the AT will take you over a creek next to the road; the sign tells you the hostel is just up the road. When you see this on your right
you know youre there. If youre driving, continue up the road until you see vehicles parked on your left. Park there if youre section hiking; I paid $5 a night to do so.
The hostel features a bunkhouse
laundry, kitchen
supply store
as well as some creative walkways.
I didnt use any of the hostel facilities other than its showers, which had hot water that came and went without much warning clean towels are provided, and leftover bottles of shampoo are always there. The place seemed clean, and the staff was helpful & welcoming. Arranging shuttles is a simple matter of calling ahead, or talking to the manager while there.
Shuttles for slackpacking were driven by drivers who were not intoxicated or under the influence (and who were courteous and who drove well).
Hot water is constant unless you add cold water, then it gets a little tricky. But solid pressure and continuous flow. Lots of soap and shampoo.
A lot of safety meetings, but plenty of space without any.
The fresh meals were extremely reasonably priced and had large portions, great quality.
The overflow sleeping area was better than the bunkhouse for sleeping. Quiet and everyone there had showered.
The washer worked well, the dryer was being worked on.
I'd say it was worth the price and the location was perfect. No complaints. I'd have complained when I blogged if there was something to complain about. https://ethesis.wordpress.com/2019/03/
Given the location, it just cannot be beat.

If you added up the amount of time some of us waste away comparing ourselves to others, it would absolutely terrify you. Day after day many of us find ourselves comparing our lives, our achievements with other people that we may or may not even know personally. With the additive of social media now days it is even more prominent to compare with people they we do not even see but on social media.
"Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way."
I Corinthians 12:27-31 NKJV
Comparing to others is a killer, a killer of any self worth and an invitation for depression. The rate of depression has increased over the years especially in the younger generations, and a lot of this can be factored in from social media use and comparison to others. People look happy and excited on social media and this triggers the mind in others as, "why am I not happy like these people?"
Trying to compare to others is an unrealistic view of how life should be as we are all created with different gifts and for different paths. How can you compare with another when you are not headed down the same path? And if you are headed down the same path then you need to reevaluate and change course because God has set each person on a path that is uniquely designed for that particular individual and that fits that individuals gifts.
Who are you comparing with today? Stop and reevaluate why you would be comparing. Understand that you are on your own path and you have your own gifts to utilize. Let go of comparing and go forth utilizing the gifts within you by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The first thing we need to know is VoIP Servers or called them IP PBX. VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol) servers are the primary servers that route the calls through VoIP devices or phones.
A standard phone system has a PBX within the office building and from this, all the telephones, call boxes, auto attendants go through this PBX. So this PBX is for phone systems, but when we are talking about VoIP( voice over IP), we are not talking about phones, but we speak of data devices that transmit the real-time audio communication.
VoIP servers or sometimes called IP PBX's is, of course, they use TCP/IP Ethernet network. So basically Ethernet is used by all the PBX phones.
So now instead of having a PBX phone with their world, now we have a phone system that resides on the same network as everything else like routers, switches, TCP/IP, computers, etc.
When we are talking about VoIP world, then we need to know about clients systems.
Why are we calling it Voice Over IP Server?
Because the Server is any Computer or machine that provides services to other devices or computers on the network, that's why we are calling IP PBX as Voice Over IP server.
So How it works?
VoIP server or IP PBX connects with the switch then switch connects with router then router will connect to the internet. Now all the telephones or clients on the system will then connect to the switch & that's how they connect to this VoIP server or IP PBX.
There are 3 Types of PBX available in the market.
Traditional PBX:
The Traditional PBX is one that doesn't have any IP capabilities. These traditional PBX's are low-end systems with limited feature sets. Traditional PBX systems are entirely based on digital or analog handsets for end users.
An IP PBX is a system that is entirely based on Voice over IP. It does not support any analog devices natively, and all endpoints are Ip-based network devices.
Modern PBXs have the capabilities to function both as a traditional PBX with analog parameters and as an IP PBX through the purchase of expansion modules. These Hybrid PBX offers the most flexibility for an organization because they can connect many types of devices as a business transition to IP telephony.
Trunk Lines
How do you call in or how do you call out from a VoIP server or IP PBX?
The first way, if you are completely doing voice over IP, you can have something called voice over IP trunk from a provider. This is not an average provider like Verizon etc., but these are a different kind of providers that provide you with IP trunk lines, so your organization doesn't need standard telephone lines anymore. Your organization employees get all of their calls straight through the internet.
Now On the Voice over IP server or IP PBX, you can have connections that can connect you to standard phone lines from the external world. So Phone company sends their phone lines to your organization and that phone lines connects or plugged in your Voice Over IP server or IP PBX. Now if somebody makes the call, then it goes through your network then to your Voice over IP server, or IP PBX then goes out to the average trunk line.
In this Model, Your Voice over IP or IP PBX replaces the standard PBX. Typical PBX used to route all the telephone communications.
Now we are doing everything over IP and Ethernet network, so there is no need to install Voice Over IP or IP PBX in your organization, But you can be hosted voice over IP Server outside world. Just like Email server on the internet same like that. You can rent this from a company like on the sip.
These companies like On Sip, they will host your Voice Over IP Server or IP PBX. So all the Ip Phones and computers in the organization they connect to the switch, the switch connects to the router, and then they all log into this Hosted Voice Over IP Server or IP PBX. This hosting Voice Over Ip saves a lot of money.
These Voice Over IP server can be manufactured by companies like Lucent, Nortel, Mitel, Avaya, AT&T, etc. and those are proprietary of voice over IP servers or IP PBX's. Now some new companies out such as SIP X, Asterisk, Switchvox these are free open source Voice over IP servers.
What are VoIP Clients
Now when we were talking about devices or clients, there are two terms.
- Hard Phones
- Soft Phones
So what is the difference between Hard Phones and Soft Phones?
A Hard Phone is a telephone which provides telephone service in real time audio communication service. So a Voice Over IP telephone, it looks like a phone. A Hard Phone is a computer device that looks like a phone because when you try to configure this hard phones, you do this from a web interface.
For Example Polycom hard phones, to set those phones, we need to enter the IP address of that phone in the web browser and configure there.
A SoftPhone is a piece of software that you install on a computer to provide real-time audio communications Voice Over IP.
These devices either Hard Phones or SoftPhones connects to the account within the VoIP Server or IP PBX. In the VoIP server or IP PBX, we need to setup the user accounts.
For Example:- For Ext 107 USername is XXX and Passwd is XXYY and rest of the configuration. ( Extention, username and password are the most important configurations. Because when we go to the Voice Over IP client like iPod, Ipad, iPhone, etc. over there, you put this device is Extention 107 with username - XXXX and password - XXYY.
Now when that device comes on the network, it connects the Voice Over IP Server and tell the username and password to VoIP server and ask for Ext 107. Now Voice Over IP server confirms the username and password with that extension. If it matches, it gives that Extention to that particular device.
If somebody calls in from the outside world and they Dial Ext 107, then they will route to that device.
Voice Over IP Gateways
Gateways are used to connect different varieties of communication networks. So gateways are doing is converting Voice Over IP communications into ordinary telephone calls.
So if someone from the organization wants to call from there IP device outside to the normal telephone device then, the call goes to VoIP Server then it routed to a Gateway and then that gateway sends call out to the normal telephone lines because gateways has rj11 telephone connector on them where normal telephone lines plugged into these gateways.
Gateways are what connects these different type of infrastructure.
VoIP Protocols
Till now we wrote or talk about the Voice Over IP servers or IP PBX's, we talk about VoIP Clients, we talked about gateways, these are the major components of the network that's what an organization need to buy to set up the environment. Now we need to discuss how these devices communicate with each other when someone makes a phone call to another person then how this communication was done.
Voice Over IP communications uses some protocols like TCP/IP; Apple uses Bonjour or net Bui, etc. Consider these protocols as a network language.
The standard protocol that we suggest to try is SIP( Session Initiation Protocol). Like Cisco SIP Phones, Polycom SIP Phones, Asterisk SIP Phones, Linksys SIP Phones. SIP is a protocol that lots of vendors have implemented. SIP resides on top of TCP/IP; this is an application of layer networking communication so that this SIP can ride on TCP/IP, UDP, and other protocols. SIP is a networking protocol, but it resides about TCP/IP.
VoIP Codecs
It is how the voice traffic is encoded and encapsulated so when someone is talking over the phone, that communications have to get into little packets and sent down the network. A codec is what determines how this happens so if someone wants high-quality communication voice over IP traffic and have a lot of bandwidth then use a codec that uses a lot of bandwidth and gets high definition audio communication.
Now suppose the company has a bad network and low bandwidth then use lesser grade codec where communication sound is not as good as last time, but it will use less bandwidth. So Codec determines the quality of the sound conversations and how much bandwidth is used when someone in the company talks to somebody over this Voice Over IP network.
Network Latency and QOS( Quality of Service)
Quality of Service
Quality of service permits you to prioritize network traffic. Because now companies using their network not only for computer communications but also for a telephone for voice over IP communications. Companies have to be more careful that computer machines don't use all the company network bandwidth if they do then the company have no bandwidth left for telephone systems.
In Networking Equipment there are Switches and Routers. In Switches & Routers, you can prioritize network based on that company wants Voice Over IP traffic gets more importance than normal computer communications. Then Switches & Routers always makes sure that Companies Voice Over Ip Traffic gets High Bandwidth.
Network Latency
It's most important when an organization has Hosted Voice Over IP Server Environment. When your Voice Over IP Server is on the internet then all the computer and telephony devices etc. can connect to that Voice Over IP server through internet. The company needs to make sure that organizations internet network latency is not too high.
What is Mean by 'Network Latency'?
It means the time it takes when a bit is set from one place to the next when somebody starts talking and says 'Hi!'. How long it takes to those bits to go from that voice over IP Server all the way in your organization. A normal telephone call has a latency of 45milliseconds, and that is considered average Call Quality. In Voice Over IP world, they have 45 to 75 to 100-millisecond delay and still have nice or Okay communication with people on the other side.
If it is more than 100-Milliseconds, it will give a lot of trouble.

Export ZOQL Clauses
Export ZOQL supports the
order by,
group by, and
having clauses.
Note that Export ZOQL is used for creating exports from Zuora data sources, and uses a different syntax than standard ZOQL.
Order By
Use the
order by clause to sort results in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) in the order by clause.
By default, the ZOQL sorts results in ascending order if you do not specify ASC or DESC in the
order by clause.
You can specify multiple fields in the
order by clause.
For example, the following two statements will return results in ascending order:
select * from Account order by ID asc; select * from Account order by ID;
The following demonstrates how to use multiple fields with
order by:
select id from account order by ID, name;
Group By
You can use the
group by clause to combine rows that have the same values in particular columns. For example:
select Subscription.Id, count(Account.Id) from RatePlanCharge group by Subscription.Id
In the results of the above query, each row will have a different value of
You can specify up to 5 fields in the
group by clause. For example:
select Subscription.Id, Account.Id from RatePlanCharge group by Subscription.Id, Account.Id
When you use the
group by clause, each field in the select statement must be aggregated or must appear in the
group by clause. For example:
select Subscription.Id, count(Account.Id) from RatePlanCharge group by Subscription.Id
In the above example, the
Account.Id field is aggregated by the
count() function, so
Account.Id does not need to appear in the
group by clause.
If a field is not aggregated or does not appear in the
group by clause, you will receive the following error when you run the query: "One or more columns in the SELECT statement does not appear in the GROUP BY statement."
Use the
having clause to return only rows where aggregate values meet the conditions that you specify.
For example, you can use a
having clause as a filter on a
group by result.
select A.a, avg(A.b) from A where B.name is null group by A.a having max(B.c)>0 or (max(B.c) = 0 and (not (A.a >0));
Use the
limit clause to restrict the results returned by a query.
You can use the
limit clause to return the first five rows of a query:
select * from account limit 5;
You can use the
limit clause to return the 100 rows of a result after the fiftieth row. In this example, the query will return rows 50 through 149.
select * from account limit 50,100;
Export ZOQL Clause Limits
Export ZOQL clauses have the following limits:
|Maximum Fields on
group by clause
|Maximum of five fields allowed when using
group by.
|Maximum Conditions Allowed
|You can have a maximum of 200 conditions in the
WHERE clause of a query. For example, you can have up to 200 distinct AND or OR clauses.
If you exceed the maximum number of conditions, the following error message is displayed:
You have exceeded the maximum number of parameters in the Where clause.
|Alias Function Limited Support
|The alias function is allowed only to define column labels in the result file. You cannot replace an aggregate function with its alias in
having or
orderby clauses. Duplicate aliases for column labels are not supported.
|Nested Aggregate Functions Not Allowed
|Nested aggregate functions are not allowed.

Notes: Tangy, salty preserved lemons are available in some upscale supermarkets and specialty food stores.
How to Make It
Rinse chicken and pat dry; cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces. Pour olive oil into a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat; when hot, add chicken and turn pieces often to brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes total. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a bowl.
Add butter to pan; when melted, add onions and garlic and stir often until onions are limp and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Return chicken to pan and spread level. Sprinkle cumin, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, dark and golden raisins, and pistachios over chicken. Add preserved lemons if using. Pour 1 cup broth evenly over all. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 5 to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a 3- to 4-quart pan over high heat, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil; stir in couscous and return to a boil. Cover pan, remove from heat, and let stand until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork and stir in mint.
Scoop couscous equally onto dinner plates or into wide bowls. If chicken tagine is drier than desired, thin with more broth. Spoon over couscous and sprinkle with cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste.

|School - Notre Dame
|Conference - Atlantic Coast Conference
|Coach - Bobby Clark (16th Season)
Background - Under the leadership of Bobby Clark Notre Dame has become one of the most consistently successful teams in the country. In 2015 the Irish were 11-5-6 overall with a 4-2-2 mark in conference play. They had signature wins over Indiana, Clemson, Michigan State, Virginia and Wake Forest and were awarded the number seven seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. Defender Max Lachowecki and midfielder Patrick Hodan were named to the All-ACC Second Team in 2015 while forward Jon Gallagher was named to the Third Team. The trio was also named to the NSCAA All-South Region Second Team in 2015.
Notre Dame has earned a total of eighteen invites to the NCAA Tournament. The winning tradition and consistency of the program is reflected in the fact that during the fifteen years that Clark has been at the helm the Irish have made fourteen appearances in the NCAA Tourney, earned a national seed ten times, and won the program's first National Championship in 2013 with a 17-1-6 overall record. In addition, the Irish have been ranked in the final NSCAA and College Soccer News season ending polls in thirteen of the last fifteen seasons.
Notre Dame moved from the Big East Conference to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2013. They hit the ground running in the ACC winning a share of the regular-season championship in 2013 and the outright ACC regular-season championship in 2014.
Offense - Juniors Jon Gallagher (9g, 3a) and Jeffrey Farina (3g, 5a) headline a solid contingent of returning forwards whose scoring ability is proven. Senior Mark Gormley (3g, 0a) and sophomore Thomas Ueland (4g,0a) who could also be utilized as a wide midfielder also return to add an additional presence to the offense.
The graduation of midfielders Patrick Hoden (3g, 6a) who was a three-time All-ACC selection and midfielder Connor Klekota (2g, 1a) who was a starter for three seasons creates a void that must be filled in the midfield. Returning midfielders who should figure prominently in the attack in 2015 include fifth-year senior Evan Panken (2g, 9a) and junior Blake Townes (0g, 3a). Senior Patrick Connolly and junior Kyle Dedrick are among other returning midfielders who will seek to play a greater role in 2016. Freshman midfielder Tommy McCabe who enrolled prior to the start of the 2016 spring semester is among several members of the recruiting class who will likely compete for playing time right away.
Defense - Notre Dame held a very competitive slate of opponents to a total of only nineteen goals last year. They will enter the 2016 campaign without the services of fifth-year senior and team captain Max Lachowecki (3g, 5a). Lachowecki was a four-year starter and contributor on both sides of the ball whose departure leaves some big shoes to fill.
On the plus side a very dependable stable of talented and experienced backs are slated to return. Fifth-year senior Michael Shipp (2g, 1a) and senior Brandon Aubrey (1g, 1a) return to anchor the backline. Seniors Matt Habrowski (1g, 1a) and Mark Mishu and junior Patrick Berneski (1g, 0a) round out a backline that should be a team strength.
Senior Chris Hubbard who was the starter in goal last year returns between the pipes to add stability and leadership to the defense. In 2015, Hubbard had a 0.82 goals against average and recorded eight shutouts.
Newcomers - Four Star Recruiting Class
Coach Clark stated, "I think this signing class is a solid group, and as I always say I will be able to better tell in three years how good they really are." He added, "Each player collectively, is a good fit for Notre Dame in many ways."
Jack Casey - Midfielder - Morristown, New Jersey - The Pingry School. Casey played for the Players Development Academy. He was a Gatorade State Player of the Year nominee. All-State First Team. All-Conference First Team.
Nick Cullen - Midfielder - Colorado Springs, Colorado - Pine Creek High School - Played for Real Colorado since 2012. ODP Region IV player pool. Played for Colorado Rush from 2010 through 2012.
Spencer Farina - Forward - Wilmette, Illinois - New Trier Township HIgh School - Played for Chicago Magic PSG since 2013. . All-Conference and All-Secton selection.
Senan Farrelly - Defender - Havertown, Pennsylvania - The Haverford School - Played for Continental FC. Team captain of Continental FC.
Tommy McCabe - Midfielder - South Orange, New Jersey - IMG Academy - Played for Players Development Academy. Three years in the U.S. Soccer U-17 Residency Program. Two-time NSCAA Youth All-American.
John Rea - Forward - Tempe, Arizona - Corona del Sol High School - Played for SC del Sol. Named to the Arizona Soccer Showcase Best XI. Played at Montverde Academy as a junior.
Duncan Turnbull - Goalkeeper - Geneva, Illinois - Geneva High School - Played for Socers FC Chicago. Had 1.11 gaa in high school. All-Section. All-Conference. Team captain of Sockers FC.
Prognosis for 2016 - The potential for another very successful season is certainly there for Notre Dame in 2016. The biggest question mark will be how quickly and effectively the Irish are able to fill the gap that exists due to the departure of midfielders Patrick Hodan and Connor Klekota and back Mac Lachowecki. The good news in that regard is that Notre Dame has consistently shown the ability to replace key personnel without taking a step back.
A solid contingent of returning players including eight starters led up-top by Jon Gallagher, in the midfield by Evan Planken, in the back by Michael Shipp and in goal by Chris Hubbard and a fresh crop of incoming freshman talent will give Clark a lot to work with. In addition, its a testiment to Clark that team chemistry always seems to be a plus at Notre Dame.
Expect the Irish to contend for another ACC crown and another seed in the NCAA Tournament in 2016.

Child Rearing Hero and Children of the Demon King – Chapter 44
In the end, we decided to live in the castle for a while, it was the first day.
Something terrible happened.
「My…… oh my! This boy!! Become my husband!!」
The Princess zeroed in at Iric.
I was stunned. The Princess whom the King tried to marry to me in the flesh.
「Your Highness…… umm, this boy, as you can see, is still just a child」
「I know that!」
The assertive eyes of the Princess were like those of a wild animal. Even though she's a well-bred princess, her eyes were sharp, like the eyes of a beast that found its prey. Scary.
「Umm, I am sorry, but this child is-」
「Are you his guardian? There's nothing better than becoming the royal son-in-law! You have no reason to decline, no!?」
「No, I shall decline」
The Princess stiffened at my immediately reply and then proceeded to glare at me. She might be scarier than the Four Heavenly Generals, I thought.
「To begin with, the difference in your ages is way too big」
The Princess is about my age. She's more than ten years older than Iric.
「I'm telling you it's fine! I shall guide the boy who is still of a tender age!!」
She declared. Her eyes, serious.
I did have a feeling, but the conviction is approaching my heart.
「Your Highness…… do you have a preference in young boys……」
My words were slightly obscure, but it appears that my meaning made sense. That's because the Princess replied with her fists grasped tightly.
「That's not it! I am just looking towards his future prospects!」
No, you are speculatively buying a rice harvest, while the fields are still green, no?
The reason His Majesty went on with the marriage proposal is possibly because he wanted to stop his daughter before she had the chance to make a mess.
「Neechan, I can't become your husband」
Iric who was hiding behind me because he got scared by the vigor of the Princess showed his face. Whether she found his actions touching, the Princess writhed. Scary.
「My, why? I will be a good wife, you know?」
She said it herself. I'm getting scared even more.
「That's because I am going to become the Demon King!」
Iric declared. I froze in place. The truth that the twins are the Demon King's children is naturally a secret. I did not even say that they are monster children. I did say that Pochi is a monster, but this and that is different.
「I will become the Demon King and conquer the world」
「Hey, hey, hey!!」
Blocking Iric's mouth in a panic, I glanced at the Princess while sweating cold.
「Oh my……」
The Princess was entranced, for some reason.
「T, this is just a child's talk, don't pay it any mind!!」
Holding Iric and Ilya under my arms, I broke out of the room at full speed. I felt the presence of the panicked Aura following behind.
「Hey, Iric-kun! Why did you say something like that!?」
「But, that Neechan's eyes were scary, she looked like she wanted to eat me」
「You could say that, but there are things you should and should not say――Yuuya-san, you run too fast……」
Aura's voice gradually become distant, so I stopped my legs in a hurry.
「Onii~san, do not stop. We will get overtaken」
I thought the Princess would be following us, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
「This is a chance to leave Oneechan behind」
「No…… what would leaving Aura behind do? Rather, we are in the same castle so there's no meaning in leaving her behind」
A little while later, the heavily breathing Aura caught up with us. It seems that she can't even talk.
「Silence is nice. Onii~san, I want you to run one more time」
「Nii~chan, run~ Carry me to the room~」
「Eh? Hmm~ After Aura recovers a little」
「…… Zee~ haa~…… zee~……(trying to say something but no voice came out)」

I was thinking about some of the quirky things that make New West a unique community, what we call ourselves, and how we define that name.
- New Westminsterite is probably the most "formal" of the ones I could think of that are in use, though it makes it pretty clear what you're saying and who you're talking about.
- New Westie A "New Westie" or just simply "a Westie" is a term reserved out of respect for members of the Royal Westminster Regiment, a regiment with a very long history in our city. An association exists today to promote and support the regiment.
- New Wester is the term I prefer. It's shortened, which I like, but doesn't veer into territory for rights I haven't earned.
No matter what you call it, how do you define a New Wester? Is it someone who was born here? Someone who lives here? Someone who has lived here for a certain time? Personally, I define a New Wester as "anyone who defines themselves as a New Wester".
In my opinion, there's no mandatory amount of time a person needs to have been a part of this community before they're considered "one of us". Because we've all experienced NewWestProblems (or #NewWestminsterProblems) – quirky New Westminsterisms that you probably won't get if you don't live here. Like:
The spot on an address form where you put your city is never large enough. #newwestminsterproblems

Reading comprehension can often be frustrating for a child, especially one who is just learning to read. Not only do they have to concentrate on decoding the words, they also have to make connections between what they are reading and what they already know as well as find the meaning of what they are reading. And as the text becomes more complex, the child can become more frustrated. As a teacher, I struggled with trying to find ways to keep the frustration level down. Until I started to use…Sticky Notes.
Here are some common situations a frustrated child encounters when reading a fiction text…
- Why did the character do that?
- What does that word (or phrase) mean?
- I don't understand what's important here!
- There is so much going on…I can't keep up!
- There are too many big words!
This level of confusion and frustration can lead to "I give up!" So how do we as teachers and parents stop this from happening? Here are 5 ways to use sticky notes to get over that reading comprehension hump.
1) The Important Stuff
The first thing I do if my students are having trouble with understanding the text is label three sticky notes with Who?, What?, and When?. I have them place the sticky notes in the story where each question is answered. (With younger students such as Kindergarteners, you might have to help them with this step.) I then go over each sticky with them. This usually helps to clarify what the story is about and many times leads to clearing up the child's frustration.
2) Challenges and Responses
For students who are having trouble understanding a character's motives, I have them label three sticky notes with Why? and three sticky notes with How?. I ask them to place to place a Why? note next to a place where the character faces a challenge. I then ask them to place a sticky note next to the place where the character responds and overcomes the challenge. We then discuss the challenges and responses and how they help the character grow or give them the tools to overcome the final challenge.
3) Making Sense of the Text
For this step I have them label sticky notes with a question mark. Whenever they don't understand a passage, they mark it with this note. I then ask them to read on and see if their question is answered later on. Oftentimes, their confusion clears up. The sticky note serves a crucial purpose – it stops them from dwelling too much on that part of the text. Many times a child will be so fixated on their confusion that they miss the answer in the next few paragraphs.
4) Make connections
If a child is having trouble understanding their text, I like to have them make connections with their background knowledge or previous texts they have read. I will often ask them to place a sticky note on facts they already know. When they are done, I review these notes with them then ask questions such as "How does knowing this fact help you understand the story?".
5) Unknown Words
And finally, I ask the student to place a sticky note next to any unknown words. With older kids, I ask them to write the word on the note. When they are done reading, we go over the notes as I help them use decoding strategies to figure out the meaning of the word.
I hope these tips about using sticky notes in your reading comprehension lessons help you reach that frustrated child!

"There is a trend nowadays to play browser games"
"There is a trend nowadays to play browser games" – this simple rhyme has amazing reflection in real life. Games are all over us – we are attacked by banners on our favourite info sites, at work, school, home or even when we use our Ipad in a bus. Have we got possibility not to play them – all those skill online browser games, so simple but addicting? Answer is simple – no we do not. We can fight with this constant advertising campaign but it will break us sooner or later. Another question you may ask is if it is dangerous. Browser game playing is an addiction like every stimulant. If spending most of the day drinking alcohol or smoking can be named as an addiction, so can playing online browser games. There are people who can not stop themselves from entering browser and playing skill games – if somebody think of it all the time, he or she (yes, women also play online games) is addicted. You should not think of playing browser games during your work, school, dinner or date – it is wrong and you have to fight it back. There is something like real life – live it, and make those omnipresent browser games only an addition. Balance your life and everything is going to be all right.

VARIOUS civil society groups in northern Mindanao see the arrest of retired Major General Jovito Palparan as a cover up to the major issues the government officials are facing today.
"The manner of his arrest and the [length] of the manhunt operation are not that convincing to us. Why is it only now? Why is the arrest timely when the country is facing endless issues that are like popping out from cans? We do not want to think that it is 'scripted' but yes, we are thinking it is," Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas-10 (KMP-10) secretary general Richard Colao said Thursday.
Palparan, dubbed as "The Butcher," went into hiding in 2011 when a warrant was issued for him and three other Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) officers by Bulacan Regional Trial Court for the disappearance of UP students Karen Empeño and Sherlyn Cadapan on June 26, 2006.
Palparan was arrested in Sta. Mesa, Manila on Tuesday by a team composed of the members of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), AFP's Philippines Naval Intelligence, and Security Force/Counter Intelligence Group.
His known hideouts were in Cagayan de Oro and in Manila near Polytechnic University of the Philippines beside a barangay hall which student activists likely believe the arrest was "well-planned" by the government.
"If he is really the most wanted man in the country for the many cases of extra-judicial killings during Gloria Arroyo's term, why did it take long to find him? It is an insult when his hideout is just beside a barangay hall," Student Christian Movement-10 coordinator Rommel Limjoco said.
"There are so many problems the country is facing now. Two of those are the controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program and the Priority Development Assistance Fund where government officials are involved in alleged anomalous transactions. Maybe, for the public to drift away from these issues, they try to 'present' Palparan," he said.
College Editors Guild of the Philippines (CEGP) northern Mindanao coordinator Rocha Bihag added that even with Palparan's arrest, justice still has not been served yet.
"Even with his captivity, there are still other extra-judicial killings happening and ongoing in the country. It is already expected that after Palparan, it still won't end there. There is even Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (Edca) where it calls for more future killings," Bihag said.
While Palparan's apprehension raised eyebrows and caused protests, Bihag said they are happy that justice is making progress.
In Bangkok, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) welcomes the arrest of Palparan, which represents an important step toward addressing impunity for serious human rights abuses in the Philippines.
In early 2007, after his official mission to the Philippines, the UN Special Rapporteur on Summary Executions recommended that "as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, the President must take concrete steps to put an end to those aspects of counterinsurgency operations which have led to the targeting and execution of many individuals working with civil society organizations."
OHCHR recognizes the current efforts of the Aquino administration to follow-up on the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur, and further encourages the Government to take additional steps to strengthen the rule of law and accountability mechanisms.
"Ensuring justice in this case will set an important precedent for the Philippines and South East Asia region, where impunity remains an issue of serious concern," the statement read.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Many parts of the Tri-State Area experienced some wild weather Wednesday evening.
The National Weather Service is trying to determine whether a tornado touched down in southern New Jersey.
AccuWeather meteorologist Carl Erickson said that local law enforcement officials around Jackson Township "did report seeing a funnel cloud." However, he said there has been no confirmation of an actual touchdown.
A severe storm toppled dozens of trees like match sticks in Manchester Township in Ocean County.
Two of the trees smashed a moving car, killing the 69-year-old driver. Nearby, a 74-year-old woman narrowly escaped with her life when another tree toppled over on top of her house.
According to Manchester Police Sergeant James Komsa "between 40 and 60 homes" are estimated to have received "minor to moderate damage." He said two residents were displaced as a result of the damage.
"Our communications center received numerous calls, pretty much simultaneously, during the height of the storm regarding fallen trees, limbs, etc., on several of the homes in our township," Komsa said.
Earlier Wednesday evening, tornado warnings were issued for Sussex, Warren, Morris, Hunterdon, Ocean and Monmouth counties in New Jersey.

Some of our greatest joys have come about through a combining of our passions and sharing that adventure with others.... and so the birth of Whitewater Music and Adventure.
This is a little overview of what our packages can offer.
From 1 to a group of 10, teaching basic kayak skills and then paddling to a forest or beach location where we enter the world of hand drums.
In that setting, using the African djembe and other small percussion, we will learn to play some fun beats or ...if all are players... just go for it.
Hearing an instrument that was originally meant and designed for that outdoor space, opens up a whole new experience for the people who participate.
We can get to a number of locations within an hour of Toronto.
Water depth in the rivers (based on recent rain activity) and previous experience, will determine which locations are chosen, but all are scenic and beautiful with close proximity to excellent baking and home cooking a priority.
Let me know any thoughts or questions you may have. We can customize any of these packages. We also offer private in home instruction on all drums and percussion. Have a great week, be well, and hope to see you soon.
