Whether you are the parent or the audience, there is an awkwardness and discomfort when dealing with a child in public who is pre-meltdown, mid-meltdown, or just hysterical.
As parents, we plan an exit strategy. Some of us even do this before we get there. But sometimes (or most of the time) it happens when we least expect it. When we didn't plan. When there isn't an easy escape route in site. We find ourselves wondering:
Do we really need these groceries?
So what if I paid $300 to be here.
Will the restaurant charge us if we leave before the food comes out?
There are three incredible strangers out there who have helped me and showed extraordinary compassion during my daughter's meltdowns. These three occasions have been remembered months (and years) later. I wish I could thank them again.
Thank you to Princess Aurora at Walt Disney World.
I'm not going to sugar coat this — our 2017 Disney World experience was rough. Our daughter had sensory breakdowns in every single line.
Every. Single. Line.
She bit herself.
Scratched me.
Threw herself on the floor.
Kicked the walls.
Kicked me.
I hoped she would enjoy the intimate princess tea party I had booked months ago. Months before I even knew she had autism. But that non-refundable $300 tea party at Grand Floridian didn't go well for us.
About twenty minutes into the tea party, she started to clench her fists.
Then she fidgeted.
Then there were tears.
I tried to figure out WHY she was bothered.
Was it because they didn't reenact the movie?
Did the smell of decadent sandwiches and scones repulse her?
We were in the most magical place in the world, why wasn't she happy?
Her crying quickly escalated when she threw her food at me.
Then she was on the floor.
Then she was screaming.
And then she bit me so hard that my arm gushed blood. It hurt more than anytime she ever lashed out at me.
I think I blacked out with grief because I cried uncontrollably into my hands as I sat on the floor next to her. I couldn't do this alone. I couldn't manage my 35-month old child alone.
What was wrong with me?
I remember opening my eyes to the lobby and Ally was spinning in circles while the manager brought out our things and gave me a glass of water and a first aid kit.
That was the first time I ever believed it when I told someone my daughter had autism.
She danced and spun contently in the lobby for a while. As I tried to convince her to leave, Princess Aurora came out and she danced with Ally. She cared enough to join my daughter in her world and brought her a crown and a necklace.
Ally adored her. Told her not to prick her finger on a spindle. Blew her a kiss goodbye.
That princess was so kind and made our day.
I didn't feel like we completely missed out. She got to experience special magic, just not the way that I had planned.
That couple behind us in a line
We were out somewhere. I want to say a theme park or boardwalk but I can't remember exactly where. We were in line to meet a character. Ally loved meeting characters. She never wanted to take photos with them though. She just wanted to chat with them and be friends. It was charming and sweet…when she was younger.
That line was long. We had waited about twenty minutes or so when Ally head-banged against the metal bars and kicked me in the knee. It hurt and I bit my lip in pain.
"Ally you hurt me!" I snapped.
Because sometimes we snap.
Getting attacked hurts.
Physically hurts.
She clenched her little fists and her face turned red. She screamed. I knew it was about to happen when she took her shoes off. She always took her shoes off right before a meltdown.
That was her warning signal.
The shoes came off.
Shit was about to go down.
The sun was beating on us. I tried to touch her, to soothe her, to calm her down. But she hit me and screamed. I looked around for the exits. But how could I even leave a line like that? It was so crowded.
That was when this couple intervened.
They were young and sweet. They didn't even have kids.
They said hello to Ally.
The woman showed her a stuffed Giraffe they won in a game booth.
They let her hold it.
She gave it a hug and smiled.
He made voices and had it talk to her.
She giggled.
I thanked them as the line moved. For once we didn't have to leave.
They continued to entertain her for at least 5 minutes until we got to the front of the line. She was distracted enough to make it through.
They were amazing and taught me how truly compassionate some people could be. I never forgot it.
Waitress at Joe's Crab Shack
We had just started taking Ally out to restaurants.
We thought this one would be fun since there was a playground outside and a giant shark on display.
She loved that shark.
She loved it so much that she refused to sit at the table to eat.
She just wanted to stare at the big plastic shark that hung from the ceiling at the entrance.
We got her to color for a few minutes.
Played videos on her iPad.
Talked to her.
But she was fixated on that shark.
She knocked over my drink and screamed. My husband and I looked at each other.
Do you think we could leave since the food hasn't come out yet?
Her brother looked devastated because he begged us to take him out. And when we had to leave places, he suffered.
We started to pack up and our waitress ran over to our table. She had a shark toy from the bar and handed it to Ally.
She told her that the shark is special. That it's just for her.
I'm not saying that she was good at that restaurant or that we shouldn't have left when we had the chance to. The shark toy was a distraction from her fixation to get to the one in front of the store. It distracted her for just enough time so we could eat and get out of there. I couldn't believe that waitress was so kind and receptive enough to notice out struggle.
Sometimes the smallest gestures can help a parent de-escalate a child.
Have you ever been a stranger in the audience who wanted to help but didn't know if you should interject or just mind your business? Does that parent even want help? Will they accept it?
For me, the answer is Yes. I will appreciate you trying.
Even if you fail.
Your kind gesture will be noticed.
Even if I say I got it. That I'm fine. It's all under control.
Parents will always say we're fine.
We don't need help.
I think we have trained ourselves to not ask for help. It's become a default response when we go into autopilot mode.

Heritage Foundation rebuts attacks on Kansas tax cuts. Stephen Moore of the Heritage Foundation took issue with Paul Krugman's recent New York Times column on "Charlatans, Cranks and Kansas," and published a rebuttal this week in newspapers across the country. Kansas's tax cuts haven't been in effect long enough to measure their full impact, he says, and the past several decades have shown that states with low taxes are producing more jobs than states with higher taxes. "The Kansas story is still incomplete, and we will see over the next few years whether growth is revived in a state that people have been fleeing for the past decade," [What's The Matter With Paul Krugman?— Investor's Business Daily]

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
Working with couples who hail from different class backgrounds is one of my specialties as a counseling psychologist. I offer an example from my counseling practice to illustrate how different class backgrounds, and their cultural assumptions, can confound a marriage. One couple met in college, where she got a para-legal certificate and he got a bachelor's degree in business.
Working class Carla rebuked her middle class husband, Steve, "You're so cold to my family, they don't feel welcome to drop by."
Steve replied, "Why do we have to spend so much time with them? The weekends are so short. Why do we go to your mother's family dinners every single Sunday? We're grown-ups now." But Carla was raised to keep close family ties. In her culture, this is not a sign of arrested psychological development but of loyalty, love and respect.
"I love our Sundays!" She looked at me. "See?" she exclaimed.
In another session Steve complained, "Why are you spilling your guts to my boss's wife?! I've got to project the right image to advance in the company!"
Carla retorted, "Well, why do we have to go out with them anyway? On Saturday night?! This is your idea of fun? Sipping white wine with your boss?" She raised her imaginary glass with pinky finger extended. She said boss like it was a dirty word.
But Steve sees his boss as a generous mentor and friend. He is grateful his boss wants to see them. He reminds Carla, "That boss is the key to my success and our shared future." Then turned to me "You see? I don't even know if she cares about me."
And 'round they went. Misinterpreting each other through the blinders of their different class vantage points.
Carla's working class life taught her that social relationships are supposed to be supportive, not challenging and not hierarchical. She assumes that real friends feel like equals; it's just plain creepy to schmooze with ambition. Women from Carla's background, if they like you, may share intimate life details. To do so includes the other woman, invites her into our world. It says, "You're one of us."
In the middle class, being cordial and reserved shows respect for others and oneself. Individuality and privacy are important. Sharing confidences with someone you hardly know might be considered rude or narcissistic; at least déclassé. It may be seen as a sign of danger: this woman is so messed up she spills her guts to anyone who will listen.
These same (middle class) boundaries and emotional reserve have a different social meaning in Carla's first world. Reasonable interpersonal boundaries, by middle class standards, may register as coldness to working class people– a purposeful withdrawal of warmth that says, "Stay away from me."
A middle class therapist, with no understanding of Carla's context, might push Carla learn "better boundaries." Then Carla's world remains invisible to Steve, and, increasingly, to Carla herself. This class-straddling counselor saw Carla and Steve come to understand their cultural differences and, finally, listen with compassion to each others' needs, dreams and fears.
When last I saw them, they were new parents, the architects of their children's future backgrounds that would include learning rules and roles from both of their parent's families, and allowed to embody their favorite aspects of either culture.

This is a very interesting look at a cross class relationship. As a single professional class-straddler I think that this is an area that is not often discussed. Class and upbringing play a huge role in any relationship be it a friendship, dating, or a marriage. I've never been married, but I have been in relationships and have had friendships where class, in both social and professional forms play a large role. Class can bring power into a relationship, in money and influence. I have dated "up" and dated "down", with both sides having their own issues to work from. In dating up, I found it difficult at times to deal with her family, as well as expectations she held based on how she grew up. In the end this caused the relationship to fall apart, much to her father's pleasure. On the other end, in another relationship I dated a girl from a blue collar background, she was not college educated, and worked in the service industry. She was a nice girl, but had a very different picture of what she wanted out of life, and neither of us were very comfortable in each other's world. I did not really care for big family get togethers, conversations of football, trucks, and hunting. She never really cared for networking, pub crawls, and conversations about law, trade policies, or world events. That, plus money did that relationship in. All in all it is interesting to think about, and it's something that really isn't discussed. I'm no relationship expert, but I would hazard a guess that the factbthe young couple in your post made it to marriage was that they met in college.
This sounds like boilerplate to me; everything fits expectations from the world of academia, and there's a subtle feel that Steve is right. Ambition is a driving force in the US; Carla undoubtedly had ambition as well to to herself to college. I would be surprised if a tight family connection as depicted here would remain long in a woman who structured her life as she did, yet this example is of two people whose real connection is not revealed – why did they marry? These people are depicted as rule-followers, yet a cross-class marriage says otherwise. To me, this shows an ignorant, rule-following counselor who is not doing well for anyone.
I really appreciate what you wrote, Barbara. I have several relationships that did not survive the economic class distance between us. I was the one with less financial resources and he was the one with money, earned and/or inherited. No amount of negotiation helped us. No therapy helped us stay together.
When we were in dating mode, my paying for a dinner or bar tab was considered charming. In fact, I could hide the many things I sacrificed in a given week just to make up for that explicit display of extravagance. I dressed the part. I tipped well. I took great pride in being able "to provide" as much as my male counterpart.
But when things got more serious, and we were either living together, or married, there was no paring down our consumerism because there was always more money. I'd say, "let's wait and save up." He'd reply, "But why wait. Why go without when I'm loaded."
The real rub came in our different philanthropic practices. I felt excited that we had lots of money because it meant we could give away more. He did not feel the same way, and so we argued about why we had to share with the global community at all. And that was a repeated argument in most of my relationships.
My brushes with wealth started early in my life when my parents wanted to arrange a marriage between me and someone I didn't love but who was able to pay for my education. Ultimately, I refused the arrangement and I paid for my own education–working 2 jobs while studying full time.
The hardest times for my partners and me were when we had to solve conflicts or issues. My solutions had to be resilient and clever. He only had to call his accountant to discuss a transfer. Vacations, travel, fine wine, expensive meals were always accessible to us. We never had to put off or deny ourselves anything.
I found out, as many of us might, that I would make a great wealthy person! After all, you can have good taste if you can buy the best or go to the gym to stay in shape or get your hair done on a regular basis. But that wasn't the point. Could I live WITH wealth on my own terms? And not let it change me. In the end, I found out that wealth was not the problem. What I really wanted was my own money to share with the world, and not someone else's.

World's first female amputee to climb Mt. Everest
Author, "Born Again on the Mountain" (2014)
Dedicated towards helping physically challenged people to achieve their goal
In 2011, Arunima Sinha, a former national level volleyball player was thrown off a moving train while trying to resist thieves. In order to save her life, doctors had choice but to amputate below the knee and it was while she was still recovering that Arunima first resolved to climb Mt. Everest.
Just two years later, she achieved her goal and made history as the first female amputee to successfully climb Mt. Everest when she finally reached the summit on 21st May, 2013 after a grueling 52 day journey. Since then, she has been on a mission to conquer all seven of the highest summits in the world and has already scaled Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Elbrus and Mt Kosciuszko.
Arunima is also deeply dedicated towards social welfare and is working on opening a free sports academy for poor and differently-abled people. She is focused on helping physically challenged people to achieve their goal, so that they can also become self-dependent.
"Arunima Sinha shares her incredible story of defying all the odds, and the power of courage, and determination. By achieving her goals, Arunima's story is an inspiration for millions of people who are physically disabled or handicapped. "

Duration:3 minutes
|I was on the patio with a friend in Somerville. It was a crisp night and we were in a relatively quiet neighborhood. A blue and green disc-like object floated down, there was no noise so we were confused as to what it was. We assumed it was far away because of the lack of noise. But when it stopped moving, we realized it was only about a mile away from us, and then hovered for around 3 minutes mid air. The colors were emitted by a light that encompassed the entire craft, and it seemed like an aura and not light beams. It then lowered towards the ground out of our sight. There was no noise coming from this object when it was lowering. We were still on the patio 40 minutes later when a helicopter ascended from the same area. However, the difference was that we could hear the helicopter as it was taking off and for the rest of the duration it was in the area. The lights on the helicopter were colored red and yellow, and it was clear to what it was.

Vacuum Valves Information
Vacuum valves are used when a vacuum must be maintained in a closed system. Vacuum valves are used to control gas flow into a chamber, isolate, vent, provide relief or control conductance. Gate, inline and angle valves are the most common types of vacuum valves for high vacuum applications. Additional valve types include ball, butterfly, conductance controllers, diaphragm, gas control or leak valve, relief valve, and straight through. Gate valves (also known as knife valves or slide valves) are linear motion valves in which a flat closure element slides into the flow stream to provide shut-off. In-line valves have their inlet port positioned at a parallel to the outlet port, but not necessarily axial with the inlet port. Angle valves have their inlet port positioned at a right angle to the outlet port. Ball valves are quarter-turn, straight through flow valves that have a round closure element with matching rounded seats that permit uniform sealing stress. Butterfly valves are quick opening valves that consist of a metal circular disc or vane with its pivot axes at right angles to the direction of flow in the pipe, which when rotated on a shaft, seals against seats in the valve body. Conductance controllers alter the conductance through the vacuum system by modifying the mean free path that the gas molecules must take. Diaphragm valves use a flexible diaphragm to separate the flow stream from the closure element. Gas metering, throttling or leak valves control the flow of gas into chamber or process vessel. Vacuum or pressure relief valves protect chambers or components form excesses in vacuum or pressure that would otherwise deform or damage the component. Straight through valves have their inlet port positioned at a parallel to the outlet port as well as axial with the inlet port.
Common specifications for vacuum valves include port size or outer diameter, vacuum or pressure range, and operating or bake-out temperature. The vacuum or pressure range can be rough or low (< 760, > 1 torr), medium (< 1, >10-3 torr), high vacuum (< 10-3, >10-8 torr), ultra-high vacuum (< 10-8 torr), and elevated pressures (> 760 torr). The maximum operating or bake-out temperature that the fitting, flange or vacuum component can be exposed to is important to consider. Flange or seal types for vacuum valves include none, metal seal, elastomeric seal or o-rings, ISO, ANSI ASA, NPT female, NPT male, Conflat, Del-Seal, Pyraflat, Tri-Seal, and VCR or VCO. Port flange or ISO nominal size refers to the nominal bore size. Choices range from NW 10 to NW 1000. Valve seat seal type choices include none, metal seals, and elastomeric seals or o-rings. An actuator or steam shaft on the valve the bonnet that contains or protect the valve stem or a actuator preventing contamination.
Valve Actuation Choices
Valve actuation choices for vacuum valves include none or manual, solenoid electric, piezoelectric actuator electric, motorized electric, pneumatic, and electro-pneumatic. Common features include heater jacket, high conductance, integral window, multi-stage, position indicator, and roughing points. Fail-safe mechanisms for vacuum valves include spring-to-close or normally closed, and spring-to-open or normally open.

What You Need to Know About Pest Control in Puyallup WA
Small pests, including insects and rodents, can cause a lot of problems for homeowners. Yet a pest control service will be able to deal with all the troublesome creatures that may appear on a property. Here are some of the biggest ways that pest Control in Puyallup Wa can help.
Although most pests that may show up in a home or yard are small, some of them can sting, bite, or carry diseases. Bees, for example, are a common pest, and their stings are quite painful. Stinging insects can especially be a concern for homeowners who have children. Spiders are less commonly a problem, but sometimes they may move into a dark place in a house. Since some spiders are venomous and almost all spiders can bite, people are likely to want them removed from homes.
Property Protection
When homeowners are concerned about a pest damaging their property, termites are usually the culprit. Termites can cause significant harm to the wood parts of a house. It is best to deal with them immediately, before they have a chance to do much damage. Some other pests, such as rats and mice, can also cause problems due to their chewing, since they may gnaw on wires and other parts of a home.
Everyone wants to have a clean home that is safe for everyone. Yet some pests can make a home unsanitary. Ants and cockroaches, for example, may crawl around on kitchen counters as they search for food. Rodents sometimes carry diseases as well. Fleas also may appear in some yards, bothering pets that go outside.
Peace of Mind
Another way that pests cause trouble is by simply being an annoyance. Spider webs that are built in a yard can get in the way. Rodents may make a mess in a pantry or in an attic or may make a lot of noise by gnawing and squeaking. And no one wants a peaceful night at home to be interrupted by a large cockroach scurrying across the floor. Homeowners do not have to put up with problems like these.
By getting pest Control in Puyallup Wa, homeowners will keep themselves and their houses safe. Contact a pest control service today to put an end to bothersome pests.

By Jeffery Scott Mio, Ph.D., California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
The results of the 2016 Presidential Election were a surprise to many, particularly, one might argue, to organizations responsible for polling potential voters to get an accurate estimate of the outcome. While some might view this as a sign that polling is flawed, the issue may be taken up more specifically with how the samples for the polls were drawn rather than the method itself. The discussion that follows aims to elucidate several of the problems with the polling technique used to forecast the results of the 2016 election. This real-life example may serve as a useful demonstration to students about issues that may occur when proper sampling methods are not used, thus resulting in a non-representative sample.
First of all, the polling agencies do not and probably cannot sample a representative sample. They typically poll those who have landline, as opposed to cellular, telephone service. This skews to older people, as many if not most young adults do not have landlines. However, if they poll only those who have cell phones, this will skew to younger people, and older voters will be lost. The same is true with Survey Monkey polls, as this will skew to younger voters because younger people are more comfortable with computers than older people. This method also skews to more urban and suburban people and away from rural people.
Second, not only are any of these methods questionable, there is also the problem of who answers the poll. For example, I have a landline, but I never answer it unless it is from someone I know. If it is a pollster, I will not answer it. So what kind of people answer a pollster? We don't know, and we don't know how representative these people are. Secondarily, pollsters call multiple people at once, and when one person answers the phone, all of the other calls are dropped, so again, what kind of people are answering the poll, and how representative are they?
Third, related to #2, pollsters admit that even if they talk to a live person, many do not answer the polls, so they end up getting only about 10% participation. (By the way, the absolute minimum accepted percentage of respondents acceptable from a scientific perspective is 25%.) Who are these people, and are they representative of the voting public? Those who answer the polls may be good people and are answering honestly, but they simply are not necessarily representative of the voting population. A "sample" is an estimate of the "population," but if the sample is skewed, we have an inaccurate picture of the population. Therefore, when pollsters say that polls are a "snapshot," they may mistakenly be pointing the camera in a wrong direction.
Fourth, the real question is, "How do we sample 'likely' voters when we do not know who is likely to vote?" As it turned out, Trump actually did turn out many first-time voters or people who haven't voted for a long time. On the other hand, Clinton did not excite enough of her voters, and especially because everyone thought that Clinton was going to win, many people did not show up, or younger generations of voters felt free to vote for third-party candidates. If only a very small percentage of those who voted for third-party candidates had voted for Clinton (especially in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin), Clinton would now be president.
Finally, as polls indicated, the "undecided" vote was four times higher than in most other elections. Most people read "undecided" and figure that they will break about 50-50, so Hillary's lead will remain the same in the final count. However, history tells us that most undecided voters actually break in one direction. In my estimation, most of the undecided voters were actually those who normally vote Republican, were reluctant to support Trump, but had a difficult time crossing party lines to vote for Clinton. Their indecision was mostly, "Should I vote for Clinton, or should I vote for a third-party candidate (or should I not vote)?" However, when the then-FBI Director, James Comey, announced an evaluation of a new batch of emails, I think that most of the undecideds said, "Oh, I can't deal with more Clinton scandals, so I will hold my nose and vote for my party." Earlier estimates were that Clinton had over 90% of the Democrats, but Trump only had in the low 80% range of Republicans, but in the actual vote count, Trump had over 90%. This tells me that the undecideds came home to the Republican Party.
The bottom line is that polls are supposed to sample a population, and that sample is supposed to be representative of the population. If you do not have a representative sample, your poll will necessarily be inaccurate. Because some actual voters may have been more suspicious of polls, the media, and anything that smacks of tradition, they probably did not answer the polls in sufficient numbers, thus resulting in a biased sample. This is why all of the polls seemed to support the notion that Clinton was going to win, which in fact did not happen. One thing that is accepted by all social scientists is that any one poll may be wrong, but the aggregate of polls are accurate. The problem with that line of thinking is that all of the analysts were blind to the fact that all of the polls were skewed in Clinton's direction, so of course, she would be systematically thought to be the winner.

Selfies are a hot topic after Ellen Degeneres snagged a high-profile group selife during the Academy Awards. This single photo became the most retweeted tweet in the history of Twitter, with over 2.7 million RTs. The selfie was snapped with a Galaxy Note 3, which was provided to Ellen as part of a Samsung promotion. Though Ellen was seen using the Note 3 during the award ceremony, photos taken backstage reveal she or a member of her staff was using an iPhone, and not the sponsored Note 3.

CRM: Tiny Acronym, Big Business Impact
June 27 11 am – 1 pm
CRM, or customer relationship management, is both a business concept and a category of business software. As a concept, it involves every interaction and exchange between your business and your customer. It allows your business to learn about the customer and tailor their experience directly to their needs. Marketing teams can use it to deliver the right message at the right time, sales teams can use it to work leads and close deals, and service teams can use it to quickly, efficiently provide targeted solutions while you're on the line. At the core of the CRM concept is trust – trust which earns your business a customer, and keeps them coming back.
On June 27, join NCET and Keith Anderson, founder and CEO of Trinity Applied Internet, as he explains why businesses should use CRM and the benefits your business can realize as a result of using a solid CRM system.
By the end of the presentation, you should have:
- A new perspective on CRM and how it relates to your entire business (not just sales!)
- Understanding the main differences between CRM's on the market.
- Ideas for improving your CRM, its usefulness and impact for your business, and adoption.
- Best practice tips and tricks.
Come learn how to connect and stay engaged with your customers using CRM…if you are not, chances are, your competition is!

Together with the Partnership for Responsible Business and EcoFlight, I was fortunate to be involved in two flights over the San Juan Basin and the Chacoan landscape. In October and again in November, I flew with Bruce Gordon (EcoFlight) and a number of other folks. The flights were intended to provide a bird's eye view of the recent oil-gas developments in the area. I discussed these flights on KSJE radio; listen here.
We took off from the Farmington, New Mexico, airport, flew southeast to Kutz Canyon and Twin Angel Pueblo, then down the Great North Road over Pierre's site and Pueblo Alto to Chaco Canyon. We then circled "Downtown Chaco," witnessing the majesty of Pueblo Bonito, Chetro Ketl, and Casa Rinconada. These flights revealed not only the impressive footprint of the Chacoan great houses on the landscape but also the relatively pristine landscape surrounding many of the sites.
Archaeological sites within the boundaries of Chaco Culture National Historic Park are, of course, protected from all types of development. The primary area of concern currently lies just a few miles north of Chaco, outside the park boundary on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)'s Farmington Field Office, the Navajo Nation, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
In this region, drilling oil wells into the 5,000-foot-deep deposits of the Mancos Shale became profitable in early 2014. Development in this area has proceeded very rapidly in 2014, with more than 100 wells sunk into the Mancos Shale, with oil extracted via the intensive and environmentally damaging fracking process.
The San Juan Basin contains thousands of archaeological sites dating from the Paleoindian period (ca. 12,000 B.C.) to recent Navajo homesteads and camps. These sites vary in visibility from the astounding Chacoan great house structures to highly ephemeral linear road features. Clearance procedures for oil-gas permitting require archaeological surveys and, most commonly, the avoidance of resources. Such a piecemeal approach to protecting sites across the landscape does not, however, provide for adequate preservation of the larger landscape and faint features like the Chacoan roads, which are difficult to see and protect. Such sites require a greater level of consideration and protection than is typical for standard archaeological and cultural management work.
Another important issue relates to the flaring of "excess" methane gas from oil wells. This process is ongoing at many wells in the San Juan Basin, resulting in the addition of significant quantities of gas to the atmosphere. Joby Warrick of the Washington Post recently published an article on this issue.
For environmental and historic preservation groups, then, the primary concern with the explosion of oil-gas development associated with the Mancos Shale is the need to protect fragile natural and cultural resources. For many of us, this requires a new approach to permitting—one that emphasizes greater, more comprehensive planning.
Toward this end, Archaeology Southwest and many other organizations and individuals have asked BLM to change its approach to permitting wells in the Mancos Shale. BLM is currently modifying its Resource Management Plan (RMP) and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The big push is to create larger protection zones for sites that cannot be protected through the standard "identify and avoid" model and thus protect larger tracts of the very fragile Chacoan landscape. One approach we have advocated is the use of LIDAR imaging to identify and protect ephemeral cultural resources, such as Chacoan roads.
Stay tuned as this story continues…

All organisations with over 250 employees need to report annually any average pay differences between male and female employees by April 2018.
Employers are required to publish the following information:
- Mean pay gap between male and female employees
- Median pay gap between male and female employees
- Mean bonus pay gap between male and female employees
- Details of the number of men and women working across salary quartiles
The first gender pay reports will have to be published by 4th April 2018 and will be based on pay rates as at 5th April 2017. The bonus pay gap will be based on bonuses paid between 6th April 2016 and 5th April 2017.
The reports have to be published annually on an organisation's UK website in a format that is accessible by employees and members of the public. The reports must remain on there for 3 years to enable progress to be monitored as subsequent reports are added over the years. Employers must also submit evidence of compliance to the Government which will involve uploading the report to a government website where it can be accessed by the public.
There is no obligation on an employer to publish any narrative to accompany the reports but we would advice employers to do so as it gives you an opportunity to explain why there may be a particular gap in your business. For example providing pay information based on grade or job type or full-time and part-time working is likely to be more accurate and show a smaller pay gap.
What happens if you don't publish a gender pay report?
Whilst there are no specific sanctions for private sector employers who fail to comply, there are significant reputational risks for those who do not. In this regard the Government has already said that it may name and shame any offenders and any organisation included on such a list is likely to see not only damage to its reputation but also its ability to recruit and retain staff and secure future work particularly in the public sector.
How can we help?
We can help you prepare for the introduction of gender pay gap reporting by conducting a gender pay review now to identify any gender pay gaps that exist and work with you to identify any steps you can take to reduce any gap. Any advice you receive from us will be subject to legal privilege which means any discussions we have will not have to be disclosed in the event of any future litigation.
We can also help produce the formal report providing suitable commentary to explain any gender pay gaps that may exist.
Get in touch now
If you would like more information on your gender pay reporting obligations please contact a member of our Employment Team.

Must Have Sneaker in 2012: Air Yeezy 2Posted by Mikey Fresh under Fashion , Photos , Unreleased
[7] Comments
Kanye's second creation with Nike has been talked about all throughout 20111. We saw various sneak peaks and teases of the Air Yeezy 2 but earlier today the Airmag twitter account released a clearer image of the black and pink model. Unfortunately, there still isn't concrete information on when the kicks will be released. However, Don C putting this image on his Tumblr is probably a good indicator that things are being put into motion.
The Airmag account also posted a countdown that could be for the release date or maybe the date of when they'll release more information, after the jump….

The Cars movie has always been special to JJ and he's been collecting more and more fun toys from the movie. Most of the time, it drives me crazy to have all the kids' toys scattered everywhere. But today, I was reminded of the Toy Story movies, and the way I played when I was growing up and I just watched the kids play - so grateful that they use their imaginations.

Christian Mission: How Christianity Became a World Religion
Article excerpt
Christian Mission: how Christianity became a world religion, by Dana L. Robert. Chichester: Wiley-Blackwell, 2009. xi +214 pp. ISBN 978-0-631-236191, £45; paperback 978-0-631-23620-7, £14.99.
This volume is a masterpiece of compression and clarity. In just over 200 pages it covers twenty centuries and the whole globe. It engages with the latest scholarship (the Comaroffs, Said, Spivak) and yet it is hard to see any major theme in Christian history that has been neglected. Part I tells the story chronologically from the Resurrection and the Great Commission to the twenty first century. Part II picks up major themes in mission history: "the politics of missions: Empire, Human Rights and Land"; "women in world mission", taking in women as missionaries, ideas on gender, celibacy, marriage and motherhood, women's education and women's health issues; "conversion and Christian community" exploring ideas of conversion and identity.
Dana Roberts draws examples from literary and popular fiction, films and even computer games. Many examples are drawn from Africa but they are not the hackneyed or stereotypical illustrations one might expect. So the main example of a woman missionary is Annalena Tonelli, "the mother Theresa of Somaliland" (died 2003), an Italian laywoman who worked with TB and AIDS sufferers and against female genital cutting. She also draws attention to women evangelists and leaders in contemporary African churches. …

When I was at home in Dallas over this Thanksgiving breaking, I noticed that the weather was unusually warm, or at least not as cold as other Thanksgiving weekends I have experienced in the past. I also saw an unusually large amount of insects for this time of the year, and I imagine that it is partly because of the unusually warm temperatures.
Having done a bit of research into the matter, it is not surprising, then, that insect abundance and distribution are partly regulated by abiotic factors, chiefly temperature and humidity (http://www.hindawi.com/journals/psyche/2012/167420/). Both of these factors were noticeably well above average for this time of year in Dallas.
A study by E. Muller and E. Obermaier observed the effect of daily exposure to a variety of temperatures on the beetle species Galeruca tanaceti, with results indicating that average temperatures close to or below the developmental threshold retard development and in many cases increase mortality (http://www.hindawi.com/journals/psyche/2012/167420/). I saw an unusual abundance of insects for the time of year, but the insects did not look very healthy at all. I hypothesize that this warm front 'tricked' the insects into thinking that spring was already here, and the lack of consistent, sustained warm temperatures along with predictable undernourishment caused the larvae to result in unhealthy adults.
Another study led by E. Penarrubia-Maria explored how long into winter the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, would persist. Results indicated that this species of insect was unable to withstand temperatures once they dropped below freezing (http://www.hindawi.com/journals/psyche/2012/497087/). I find it fascinating that the presence of insects in the later months of fall can be used to determine how cold of a fall a habitat endured, even if one has not even been in the habitat. Based off of my observations, I can predict with confidence that Dallas has had a warmer fall than usual with temperatures failing to fall below freezing. I checked a history of Dallas weather, and I was almost right. The temperatures had fallen below freezing only once (http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/dallas-tx/75201/november-weather/351194?monyr=11/1/2013). Ceratitis capitata, the model insect used in the study by Penarrubia-Maria, thus may exhibit slightly higher threshold temperatures than the insects in Dallas, Texas, but the general relationship of insects with cold temperatures seems to hold true.
My most notable encounter with an insect over break occurred when I observed a noticeably malnourished wasp crawling on a window in my house. I took this as an opportunity to add to my insect collection for the lab portion of this class, but unfortunately, I did not have a kill jar at my disposal. So I was forced to make a makeshift kill jar:
This particular wasp, I believe, is a polistine paper wasp. Because food resources are particularly scarce for wasps once late November and December roll around, it was not surprising that this wasp was visibly low in energy, as it exhibited little 'fight' once caught.

This reply is for everyone who has replied to me. I do really appreciate all of the support and advice that has been shared.
It is a difficult situation especially having been stuck in quarantine for quite a long time.
I think you're all right in saying that no contact will help me move forward so i'm going to stick with that and see where it takes me.
Thank you all

Rachel Bilson on Her Post-Baby Style: "I'm a Fan of the Sweatpant"
A lot has changed since Rachel Bilson's days of O.C. stardom.
In the past couple years, the 35-year-old actress and style icon has retreated from the spotlight to focus on her family: longtime partner Hayden Christensen and their 2-year-old daughter, Briar Rose.
In a recent interview with E!, the actress and busy mom discussed how her life has changed since welcoming her daughter in October 2014.
So what tops the busy mother's holiday wish list this year? "Sleep," she said. When asked whether she and Christensen plan to expand their family, Bilson shared a similar sentiment: "Everything inside me is asleep." Hmm … we'll take that as a no.
Aside from sleep deprivation, there's been another huge shift in Bilson's day-to-day. A source of early aughts style inspo for many, the actress admits currently to assembling outfits from "whatever's on the floor." "Pre-mom you have a little more time to put yourself together," she explained, "Now, being a mother, it's literally whatever's on the floor—and that usually consists of wearing the same thing for a few days in a row … Everything has to be easy, comfortable, accessible these days."
RELATED: Rachel Bilson Celebrates Chrismukkah IRL and We Can't Get Over It
Speaking of comfort, Bilson's go-to mom uniform radiates it: "Not afraid to say I'm a fan of the sweatpant," she admitted. "A cute sweat-pant, but a sweat-pant." You go, girl.

Though she'd beg to differ, we think Bilson's off-duty style is still insanely on-point. Check out her standout post-baby street style looks below.

Bilson was absolutely glowing in this loose-fitting patterned dress and cheetah print waist belt.
In a pair of ripped jeans, chic leather clogs, and a forest green graphic sweater, Bilson's off-duty look is an inspiration to lazy girls everywhere.

The actress kept things delightfully casual in a black tank, jeans, and classic Vans (from $25; amazon.com).

She always finds a deep connection with her emotions and loves doing contemporary styles. When Hannah is not dancing she is playing the flute or executing her deep love for wild animals. She would like to thank Miss Mickey and Miss Amber for helping her start off her dancing and especially thank Miss Kate for finding her love for dance. She would also like to thank her family and friends for all of their love and support. Hannah is super excited for the rest of the season and to end on the best year ever as a senior!

our supporters
Constantly striving to be the best it can be, the club enjoys the support of the community who on many occasions throughout it's long history have come together to support each other when needed.
As a result, our club has long been in a position to provide the very best service possible to Waimarama beach goers. This is achieved through a strong and dedicated base of volunteers who from November to March every year, patrol Waimarama Beach on weekends and public holidays. This dedication to provide a safe beach and the highest level of surf life saving has lead the club being recognised both regionally and nationally with service awards and sporting success. As a valued sponsor of the Waimarama Surf Life Saving Club these businesses support helps us provide
training, personal development and life saving equipment for our volunteers and Junior Surf along with the opportunity to associate your business with any one of our leading teams or individual athletes.
I sincerely thank them for supporting our great club and welcome them to our respected group of supporters. No matter your desire, whether it be to help us save lives or raise the profile of your business we look forward to joining you on a journey that supports our club to provide this important community service.
Sponsorship provides a unique opportunity for businesses wishing to support a community based service. Through direct sponsorship, your business is able to promote its goods and services to Waimarama Surf Life Saving members and their families, the wider Hawkes Bay community and beach goers alike. There is considerable commercial benefit to be gained from the association with the Waimarama Surf Life Saving Club. We are a highly regarded and well known organisation which delivers significant community benefit through volunteers who train and upskill at their own cost and time, and also provide large volunteer hours to patrolling the beach and saving lives every summer. This community presence ensures significant exposure to the sponsor's brand and identity. Sponsorship is a vital ingredient in the success and survival of the Waimarama Surf Life Saving Club. Without the support of our sponsors we would not be able to provide many of the vital resources required to run our lifesaving services, surf sports, training and education programs and keep our volunteers on our beaches.
The sponsors of our club do far more than cover the costs of running the administration of our organisation – their main purpose is to help deliver real value to our club and the community we serve. Below is a breakdown of the sponsorship packages available for 2016/2017 season. If the sponsorship levels and recognition benefits do not fit into your organisations criteria, please feel free to call us to discuss your requirements as I am sure that we can find a flexible solution that is beneficial to both parties. You or your business may choose to support the Waimarama Surf Lifesaving Club in a number of ways.
Sponsorship options
1. Overall Club Sponsor $20K per year (min 3 years)
2. Major Sponsor – Surf Sports $5K per year (min 3 years)
3. Major Sponsor – Junior Surf $5K per year (min 3 years)

Tremain Real Estate is proud to be announced as the new sponsor of the Junior Surf programme of the Waimarama Surf Club for the next three years.
Tremains is a locally owned and operated real estate company that has been in the Hawke's Bay community since the 1970's.

We are looking forward to working closely with Waimarama Surf Club during this year's summer surf lifesaving season and beyond.
We are delighted to have Tremains Real Estate join our Surf Life Saving family as the primary sponsor of our Junior Surf Programme for the next 3 years.
The Tremains commitment to the values of trust, excellence, community and fun are clearly aligned to our own club's values, as we continue to strive to provide our community with an ever improving lifesaving service for the people who use Waimarama Beach.
Our Juniors are our future and the support provided by the Tremains team will help us to ensure our Junior Surf programme can be maintained and grown, which will then allow us to continue to develop well trained lifeguards well into the future.
Our Junior Surf programme continues to grow strongly with 160 members registered for the recently completed 2016/17 season. Our focus for our Junior Surf members is for them to have an enjoyable surf experience that builds confidence in negotiating surf beach conditions while also providing the core training for them to move through

Sarah was kind enough to tag me with a versatile blog award. I hope you'll go and look at her blog and at the other blogs she named.
And then please forgive me while I cheat on this post. I recently did a similar one here, and that seems like enough stray information about myself for the moment.
Okay, I can add one new fact: I've recently started playing ukulele.
Just like everyone else, right? I'm no musician, but it's pretty hard to resist an instrument that has such a low threshold of entry. Sure, there are amazing virtuosi like Jake Shimabukuro or Peter Moon, but it's also possible for the average doof like me to play simple songs pretty quickly. I love that.
This is one of my mom's ukuleles. She grew up in Maui in the '40s and '50s and had at least 3 soprano ukes in the house when I was growing up. This one is the Duke Kahanamoku model—which sounds impressive, until you learn that Duke was actually a surfer whose name was on the nightclub where Don Ho rose to fame. Knowing how crazy my mom was about Don Ho in the '60s, my guess is that on a trip back, she and her sister went to Duke's where she bought this ukulele in the gift shop.
This was made in Taiwan, and there seem to be a gazillion of them in existence. You'll see them listed for lots of money, but the two most recent sell prices I found on eBay were on one side or the other of $100. Still, it sounds nice and bright to my newbie ears and tends to be the one I pick up to play. This last week, however, it's been on loan to a friend so I am playing Mom's other ukulele, which I will show you in another post.

Do Lawmakers' Texts During Public Meetings Become Public Documents?
BY Nick Judd | Monday, June 27 2011
The New Hampshire Union Leader's Beth LaMontagne Hall reports on some navel-gazing in Manchester, N.H., over texting during public meetings:
During the June 12 Board of School Committee meeting, [Mayor Ted] Gatsas ordered board member Joe Briggs to stop texting moments after Briggs had won board approval to cover his legal fees in a school district lawsuit. Gatsas argued that texts sent from the bench on issues pertaining to public business are considered a public document.
"That's unreasonable," said Briggs. "I'm not capitulating to that. Is that part of our rules? You can't enforce that."
This is a question that cities and towns are struggling with nationwide. In Austin, Texas, one aspect of a scandal arising from the release of City Council members' emails (see the bottom of the article) was investigating whether lawmakers were skirting public records laws by reaching consensus on public business, by email and SMS, during or between public meetings. If their conversations on public business are not entirely public, after all, then they have defeated the purpose of public meetings. In May, the Boston Globe's Kathy McKay had a very smart exploration of the same topic in towns in Massachusetts.

7. Tragedy strikes Brazilian club Chapecoense
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that."
Bill Shankly, legendary manager of Liverpool from 1959–74, said that. It's a quote often repeated by soccer fans to this day, with the purpose of inflating the worth of what is essentially a simple game played by people in shorts. It's mostly used in jest, of course. But in 2016 the soccer world dealt with a tragedy that made that quote look downright ridiculous.
Chapecoense, once a Cinderella story of Brazilian soccer, is now a club decimated after 19 players, the entire coaching staff, and all but one traveling journalist were killed as the plane carrying them to the Copa Sudamericana final ran out of fuel, suffered electrical failure, and crashed on a hillside on the outskirts of Medellin, Colombia. Just six people (three players, two members of the flight crew, and the journalist) survived. Tragedies in soccer aren't necessarily rare, but tragedies that engulf an entire team in one fell swoop are. In an instant, Chapecoense joined the ranks of 1949's Torino FC, 1958's Manchester United, 1969's The Strongest, and the 1993 Zambia national team; all squads that suffered devastating losses due to plane crashes.
The world's tributes to Chapecoense
And it's a shame, because Chapecoense could and should have been known for more than that. Eight years ago the team was toiling in The Brazilian Serie D, before starting a remarkable rise that saw them promoted the to the top-flight Serie A in 2014 for the first time since 1979. Not only did they qualify for the Copa Sudamericana, they made it all the way to the final. They were on their way to Medellin for the first leg of that final, undoubtedly the biggest game in club history, when the crash occurred.
The tributes poured in from all over the globe. Moments of silence were observed. And The Copa Sudamericana itself was awarded to Chapecoense, at the request of their opponents Atlético Nacional. Soccer, it turns out, has nothing on life and death.
