International Women's Day: Canada Tibet Committee honours Tibetan women
March 8, 2013 - As the number of self-immolation protests continues to escalate in Tibet, Tibetan women stand at the forefront of the struggle for human rights and political freedom in their homeland. Last week, Tsering Woeser, a Beijing-based Tibetan poet and blogger who regularly speaks out about conditions in Tibet, was awarded the International Women's Courage Award by the Government of the United States. Woeser dedicated the award to Tibetan self-immolaters.
At least 14 of the confirmed self-immolations in Tibet have been women including seventeen- year-old Wangchen Kyi who died of her burns on December 9, 2012. Kyi lived an area of eastern Tibet where forced displacement of nomadic communities has destroyed traditional ways of life and denied their means of subsistence. According to witnesses, before setting herself alight, Kyi called out for the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Tibetan women have long been at the forefront of the Tibetan struggle. On March 8, 1959, as a national uprising loomed, women from all walks of life and various parts of Tibet gathered in the nation's capital of Lhasa to prepare an appeal for support from the international community. More than 5000 women took to the streets in an outstanding act of defiance. Their protest led to arrests, torture, and long prison sentences. Several, including leader Pema Kusang, were eventually executed in a public execution near Sera Monastery in 1970.
During the UN's Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, Tibetan women again organized themselves to overcome numerous obstacles limiting their right to participate in the conference. Eventually, sixteen of eighty applicants obtained entry visas to China and were able to bring critical issues facing Tibetan women inside Tibet, including forced sterilization and denial of economic rights, to the attention of the international community.
Today, Tibetan women continue to raise their voices in defiance of intimidation and the threat of sanction or arrest. Their actions serve as an inspiration to women around the world. On International Women's Day, the Canada Tibet Committee salutes Tibetan women and stands in solidarity with their struggle.

A 12-year-old stabbing victim has been released from the hospital.
The girl who was stabbed 19 times by two of her "friends" was released from the hospital in Waukesha, Wis. this past Friday, reports gawker.com.
The young girl is looking forward to being home and spending time with her pets while she continues to recover there.
According to gawker.com she was stabbed in a wooded park and left there to die by the two friends who claimed that they did this to please a mythological creature called 'Slender Man.'
The two girls who stabbed their friend are being charged as adults for first-degree attempted homicide.

I know this ended up being really late but I did go to the last Pride show in Taunton with the absolute legend that is Scott Hall. Whilst the review is completely irrelevant right now it was a wonderful show so I'm still going to share the review no matter how late it is.
PJ JONES vs ASHLEY DUNN
Winner : PJ Jones
I've really liked Pride's use of the spare time as people are still getting ready to put on matches or get people out to do promos. They opened Taunton with quite a fun but one sided opening match.
Jones had the match under his control for the majority of it, his ability to trash talk both his opponent and the crowd at the same time always makes him a fun guy to watch and he is a very talented guy. Its been nice to see him back with Pride and good to see him win. I was actually going to wear my Winners t-shirt and a bit sad I didn't know.
Ashley Dunn is a impressive dude and when he had a few moments it was hell of a interesting to watch. I did love him in his tag team with Draven back in Plymouth but personally think he'd be a absolute credit to the Catch Division right at this moment.
Impressive match to start the night off. Anyone who missed it truly missed out.
HOUSE OF BONES (c) vs THE MAGNUMS
Winners : The Magnums
I don't know if I'd just seen the match up too much or what but I really didn't like the match. For the end fight of their feud, a feud that included THAT match in Exeter, with the Legend Scott Hall at ring side, it just felt like a anti-climax. It also felt extremely short. There was no shenanigans, which was the whole point of having Scott Hall at ringside I guess, though to be fair Darren did say that House of Bones could have Dom at ringside just for him to be sent right to the back again. It was a good match up but nothing really happened to mark it out above any of their other matches, we already knew that House of Bones and the Magnums was a good match up but up till now all their matches had something different going on for it whilst this one just felt like muted handing over of the trophies.
Dick Riley and Lomax were by far the two stand out guys in the match. Riley's athleticism is breathtaking at some points and you get a real feeling of not being able to figure out just what he'll do next.
It was cool to see Scott Hall, dude is a true legend, lovely moment of him handing over a trophy to the Magnums. Its one of those magical moments you'll only get once in a lifetime and I'm happy I got to go see him.
The match though was a bit anti-climax to a great feud, it didn't even have the fun feeling when the Magnums came down to the ring or left. Nice to see the Magnums with the trophies though and will be interesting to see who Pride can bring in to face them seeing House of Bones can't ask for a re-match and I can't think of any other tag team (other then Draven/Dunn) we've seen recently.
NADIA SAPPHIRE vs CHARDONNAY
Winner : Nadia Sapphire
I enjoyed this match a lot and am over the moon that Nadia Sapphire won, which is strange because I didn't like her at all in January and only half changed my mind on her when I saw her in Tavistock but I've completely changed my mind on her now. Nadia's personality that made the match, her leaving the ring and moaning about her eyelashes or her nails and then getting back in to actually kick the living daylights out of Chardonnay was great.
Never seen Chardonnay before this match but instantly liked her, some of her kicks were just nasty to watch and her reaction to the stupid things Nadia was doing was priceless. Never before have I seen someone destroy someone's makeup whatever you call them (do I look like I know technical terms for makeup?) with such delight. It might sound stupid but it was that moment when you knew that shit was about to go down. It was one of the best matches in the evening.
She had to cheat to win spraying her spray into the face of Chardonnay but it was done well. Chardonnay obviously looked pissed as Nadia ran off with her trophy and I'd love to see a re-match down the line.
JOSH KNOTT vs KELLY SIXX vs ULTIMO TIGER (c)
Winner : Kelly Sixx
You know when a match has any of these guys in it that its going to be one of the matches of the evening and these guys really did kick ass.
Knott was fantastic in the match as the stronger of the three, he was in the thick of it throughout the match. His feud with Tiger so far has been one of the best parts of the recent months in Pride and he honestly kicked ass all match long. Him and Tiger deserve a lot of credit for making the ladder work in the match, as there was no structure for the trophy to be suspended by and the match was simply a hardcore match there was no real need for the ladder but man did they make it work and it was cool seeing them use it.
Sixx and Kat von Kaige were amazing as a team too. As much as I miss Keizer when he isn't there, von Kaige's silence speaks for itself. She was a very big presence in the match nearer the end of it, breaking up some pin attempts and finally handcuffing Tiger to the bottom rope giving Sixx the victory. That isn't to say that he only won because of her…. Well he did and he didn't. Sixx is by far one of the most talented guys Pride have on their roster and he always is a highlight of the evening and it was no difference. Its about time he got the trophy so I'm happy he won.
One of the best matches this year. All three guys are just fantastic. It'll be interesting with a lot of people either joining Pride or coming back to Pride to see who is up next for Kelly Sixx and the Soul Society. Some interesting match ups look to be on the horizon.
CHUCK CYRUS vs ADAM ROSE
Winner : Adam Rose
If I thought that Grado vs Cyrus was funny then I hadn't seen anything till he faced up against Adam Rose.
Rose was a good match up for Cyrus, he always seemed to be a step ahead of whatever the Massive guy had in store for him. Some fantastic moments in the match and again like the Grado match it gave Cyrus a chance to show off his skills. I love Mr Massive I think he's got a great personality and even though its larger then life like Adam Rose's it definitely overshadowed Rose a little, of course seeing Adam Rose live was a fantastic experience, Rosebuds and all.
Once more Mr Massive's weak spot was attacked as Rose attacked him with a lollipop which ended up in not such a nice place for Cyrus. Really loved the match and hope I'll get to see Adam Rose again one day.
I have to say that Grayson Reeves was a very interesting Rosebud. I don't know what he was meant to be, he looked very out of place and couldn't keep up with the people in front of him. It was a interesting look for him though but he is definitely a better wrestler then he is a Rosebud. The fact I was more interested trying to take a picture of him as a Rosebud then of Adam Rose circling the rings says more about me then you'd ever need to know. [Since me starting this review its been confirmed that Grayson will now be wrestling for Pride in the future so people can actually see that I'm right that he's a top class wrestler and much better at it then being a Rosebud!]
ASH DRAVEN vs UK DOMINATOR
Winner : Ash Draven (DQ)
It wasn't really a match. The thing with Wellsprings is that it kind of sucks the sound out of the room so I don't know if it was really as silent as it felt (I am partially deaf too I guess) or if it was just silent but the absolute non-reaction to Dom coming out and kicking Ash Dravens ass with Baine and having the match thrown out before it began made it a odd moment that just didn't work.
For me it didn't work anyway. I mean you have a locker room full of guys like Andrews, Ryan, Tiger and Harding who you just know those guys wouldn't stand for that kind of bullshit so for it to go on as long as it did with absolutely no real reaction from anyone and then the Darren Saviour chants started and Darren didn't really know how to react… It dragged on and you were wondering who would stop it just for the whole locker room to be ass holes and leave this puny little guy to be murdered by the Right Said Fred tribute act whilst Darren Saviour argued with the crowd that he wouldn't be getting in the ring…
All this because Dom is angry he's facing Adam Maxted in Paignton on December 11th?
DOUG WILLIAMS vs JAMES BAKER vs BRAM vs JOHN HARDING vs CHRIS ANDREWS vs EDDIE RYAN (c)
Winner : Bram
It was absolute carnage after it got down to four men. Don't get me wrong James Baker was entertaining as he always is when we see him in Taunton and John Harding had some great moments. I would actually quite like to see them two in a singles match against each other because I found the opening of the match quite entertaining. There was a bit of a brawl outside when Baker refused to leave which was ended by a flying Chris Andrews but then it went back to just being a normal elimination match.
Soon as Harding was gone the other four beat the living hell out of each other. Refs lost complete control of the match and THEN the crowd picked up.
Honestly Bram is so much fun to watch live. I understand why some people got pissed off that he was stealing their drinks but he's just a complete badass that doesn't care. That said he did hit Andrews a little too hard which opened Andrews up, for those who don't mind blood it was amazing visuals to the match and also seemed to endear Andrews to the people sat behind us that didn't seem to care much for any of the regulars in the match. Those two didn't stop though, not for a second. I wasn't surprised to see Williams out next but was quite surprised to see Eddie out before Andrews. Also was extremely sad as it ended his reign quite abruptly but he's been one hell of a champion. I'm guessing this is going to lead to Ryan vs Lomaxx as Lomaxx and Gideon came down and took him out leading to him losing. I'm so hoping that Lomaxx is going to be entering the Heavyweight picture soon as he'd be such a awesome champion.
Now I always kinda wanted Bram to win but the amount of punishment that Andrews took and he kept getting back up and giving back to Bram as good as he was getting I kinda was real sad to see him lose too. Chris Andrews is simply amazing.
After the match Tiger came down to the ring. You might not remember but back in May in one of the craziest matches I've ever seen Ultimo Tiger beat Bram in a street fight that ended up in Teignmouths Morrison's car park. Obviously with a win on the new champion Tiger feels its his time to go up for the big one. After losing to Kenny Omega back in January (in Taunton) it looks like Tiger is going to show just how far he's come and try to bring the Pride Heavyweight championship home with him just in time for Christmas.
It was a great Meet & Greet. The Scott Hall one was before the show started anyway so we got to get our photo and a autograph with the Bad Guy.
Really great to see Bram once more who was extremely proud of a sign some kid had made him which he had to show me. Second time I met him and he's been the loveliest guy in the room and can't believe how many people tell me he's a total ass hole. He really was just such a cool guy to meet.
Also got my selfie with Adam Rose. Again he was really nice to meet and very friendly. Always loved Adam Rose and the night just made me a bigger fan.
Of course got some photos with the old favourites too!
It wasn't my favourite Pride show but looking back at how many of them I've been to this year that isn't saying much really as none of them have been bad. It was bloody well organised and you have to give a hand to all the guys that were working there that they got people in for the meet and greet with Hall, people to their seats and the show started without any big issue's as far as I could tell!
I don't really like Wellsprings as a venue, it always seems so quiet. Two times it felt like it had exploded with noise was the Darren Saviour chants (very loudly from our side of the ring) and during the main event. The women's match it really stood out. Then again I also love the venue because out of the three shows two of them have had the lights on so I've been able to get some good photos.
Still well worth the travel to get there though regardless.
Two matches that probably will make my end of year look back at Pride in this show. The Catch Division match was simply fantastic to watch and the main event started off slowly, exploded and ended so well. The women's match was also top quality and can't wait to see Nadia ruling the women's division.
Every championship changed hands. I'm a little sad that Tiger has gone to the heavyweight side of the show as I'd have liked to see him fight Kelly for the trophy at least once one-on-one, specially as Tiger was handcuffed to the ring ropes. It would have made more sense to have Kelly pin Tiger and Knott being handcuffed. That isn't to say that I can't wait for Bram vs Tiger part 2 because their first match against each other in Teignmouth in May is one of my favourite matches all year.
Man of the night has to be either Kelly Sixx or Chris Andrews. If anything Andrews truly was the hero of the night, the beating he took and to then carry on…. It was a beautiful run for him in the match. Sixx deserves the Catch Division trophy though the guy was amazing from the first match I've seen him in this year and has improved every single time.
It was a great moment to get to meet a legend like Scott Hall even if I never really liked him that much, you can't deny his legendary status and it was cool to meet him. Then again Bram is still my favourite "big name" I've met all year at Pride and he'll continue to be so. Guy is just so awesome. In the ring he absolutely destroys his opponents and outside of it (like literally 10 or 20 minutes after rubbing someones blood on his chest) he's such a sweetheart. Just awesome to meet him.
Taunton kinda has a soft spot in my heart as I forced Fiona to come see Undisputed back in January with me and she went from saying "yeah I don't think its my thing I doubt I'll enjoy it" to telling Nadia she's wearing a wig. It was funny seeing her sit there glaring at Nadia the whole time.
The next event is December 11th in Paignton for Heroes and Legends. Bram vs Tiger is a must see so make sure you get your tickets! Also going to star James Storm so well worth going.
Event page ….
Plus give Pride a follow. They've had some big announcements this week about what they'll be doing next year as well as surprising us Plymouth fans by announcing the return of Tyler Hawke (for anyone who doesn't read my PWA reviews that man is such a credit to every company he works for, absolute top guy and can't wait to see him on Sunday here in Plymouth defending his well earned title) and the introduction of Grayson Reeves (well I'm happy about that one, which should surprise no one seeing he's suddendly become one of my favourites…) Really give them some love because they are a fantastic company.
Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/ProWrestlingPrideuk/
Twitter : @ProPWP
Website : http://www.prowrestlingpride.com/
Go buy some of their merch and stuff on the website too because it all goes to a good cause.
Seriously though I do love all the promotions I go to around this way and don't like to see any of them in a bad way. I probably am a little more fond of Pride over the others because I've been to so many more of their shows this year and they've given me as a fan the chance to meet some of the most amazing wrestlers I could ever imagine meeting. From just seeing Kenny Omega live (I didn't get to do the meet and greet) to meeting Tommy Dreamer, Bram, Scott Hall and bloody Raven. All their regulars, and even regulars that aren't here anymore, always put on a great show then come out and talk to fans after the show. The guys running it do their best to take time out to talk to fans even when ran off their feet and they are always thinking of us as well. Plus where would I be if I didn't have the chance to moan about Ultimo Tiger every month?
If you don't know the pain and suffering I'm enduring right now it is here on the blog for you all to see so I really mean it when I say I'd sell my soul to make sure I get to the two last events of the year (going 100% to Paignton, going to see if I can blag the money for the minibus to Penzance as well) the Penzance show is a free show but you have to book your tickets with them NOW they are running out of tickets!
So I guess I'll end this blog (other then of course with the photos) saying Thank You to Pride for another wonderful evening. Overall every single Pride show has been brilliant this year and this was no different.

How to Start Hosting a Girls' Night 2011-01-14 11:10:56
Host Home Parties With Tips From Colleen and Stephania!
Colleen Reilly and Stephania Stanley first connected in college in Indiana, where they began a tradition that's become something of a phenomenon. For seven years straight, no matter where they were geographically, emotionally, or physically, they've hosted Thursday night dinners.
This event was pretty simple — a bunch of girlfriends getting together to cook, craft, and connect. It's evolved into a meaningful tradition for all of the women involved, and provides a way for the friends to reconnect and spend time together. Last Fall, Thursday night dinners was named the winner in the "Fun" category in Daily Candy's Start Small Go Big Contest.
Since many CasaSugar readers (myself included) have wanted to host more home events in 2011, it seemed like a perfect time to sit down with Colleen and Stephania and chat about how to make Thursday night dinners a reality in your home and circle of friends.
CasaSugar: You've been hosting Thursday night dinners for seven years running. How do you keep the momentum going?
Stephanie Stanley: Thursdays is truly all about cooking, crafting, and girl time. We keep it low-maintenance, affordable, and most importantly, fun. Over the years it has simply become a part of our weekly routines. It's a day of the week that I know I'll be able to catch up, vent, laugh, and cry (usually tears of laughter) with the ladies. We don't worry about being the perfect hostess or that the house is spotlessly clean. It's a great time to experiment with recipes (Colleen and I have definitely bombed a few) and to finish off any crafting projects that are in the works.
Colleen Reilly: I think definitely for those of us who have been participating in Thursdays since college, it's such an ingrained part of our routine that we just can't miss it. When Stephania and I lived together in Brooklyn, for several months our other roommate Caitlin (who's very noncommittal in general) was very skeptical about dedicating every Thursday to hanging out with her girlfriends. She would play it cool and tell us maybe she'd make it, maybe she wouldn't . . . but now she's one of our most dedicated members, and she won't miss a Thursday night dinner. If your group starts feeling unmotivated, be sure to switch up the location of the dinners, try new recipes and craft projects, and realize that some weeks everyone is going to be lazy and you're just going to want to make pita pizzas and sit in your PJs and watch Grey's Anatomy. Just as long as you're being lazy together.
Keep reading for tips on keeping your girls' night cheap, fun, and no fuss!
CS: Many CasaSugar readers shared that hosting more home-based gatherings and parties was a 2011 resolution. What's an easy way to get started on this resolution?
CR: We think Thursday night dinners are a great way to start because they are so low-maintenance. Don't worry about having your apartment spic and span, ask others to contribute in terms of ingredients, ideas, cleanup, etc. Make it a group effort and it takes the stress out of feeling like you're "party planning." It's always fun to host a good party now and then, but doing something so formal isn't the best way to get started because the likelihood of feeling overwhelmed is greater.
SS: Plan your Thursdays for when it's convenient for you and your friends' lifestyle and schedules. Thursdays can happen any day during the week. If dinners during the work week are too tough to make for your group, try a Sunday brunch over the weekends. We have learned through the years that having quick and easy appetizer and entrée recipes on hand are key for your especially busy weeks. A simple French baguette, brie cheese, and wine go a long way when everyone is feeling ravaged and waiting to eat. A lot of people stress out about hosting because their homes need cleaning, they need to freshen up, or their dinners or entertainment aren't good enough.
CS: How do you counter the excuses that there's simply no time, or it's too much money or energy?
CR: The best part about Thursday night dinners is that they are low-maintenance. I don't think I've ever straightened up my apartment for a Thursday. Ever. If you're starting a new Thursdays group, just make it clear to everyone involved that the point of Thursday night dinner is to get together with your girlfriends for some quality hang-out time, not to impress with your domestic skills. Thursdays should never be a source of stress.
SS: I think the most cleaning I've done for a Thursday night dinner was making my bed! On Thursdays we keep things simple. We always have an iPod playing, a bottle of wine open, and little appetizers on the kitchen table for everyone to enjoy. We've also always set up our kitchens with at least a few bar stools for our guests, so that we can all visit while we're cooking. Another major factor in keeping things low-maintenance is to share the responsibilities so that not every task falls on your shoulders. We all share the grocery runs, cooking, cleaning, wine-buying so that we all can sit down together and enjoy each others' company.
Check back later today for more tips and ideas from Colleen and Stephania!

4 Fun Ways to Use Photographs to Teach Your Child the ABCs
- BobBooks
- 5th April 2016
Is your child learning the ABCs? A growing body of research indicates that when kids view learning as something enjoyable, rather than a tedious obligation, they'll be more alert, more engaged and better able to retain new information.
So what can you personally do to help your child associate learning with fun?
Bob Books has asked educator and professor of Art, Marvin Bartel, Ed.D, his thoughts on how kids can feel engaged and personal about learning the ABC:
"As an art educator I would like to see kids have a chance to practice their own creativity, I would probably flip the concept and let kids find the things, people, memories, etc. and draw pictures for the book. The kid could make the book. Kids need to learn ABCs but they also need to learn that they can draw whatever they want to. Those that draw their own ideas without being shown how to draw things will learn to observe for themselves and become more confident in their own abilities to learn as well as develop drawing confidence.
As for taking pictures, kids learn more when they learn to aim the camera, frame the composition, and so on. I would let them do it. They would remember the ABCs better if they took the pictures and learned experientially." - Marvin Bartel, Ed.D, Emeritus Professor of Art - Goshen College
While there are many ways to spice up learning, one way to do this at home is to use familiar objects or photographs as teaching tools, and with the Bob Books ABC Book App, you can create a personalised alphabet book using just your phone or tablet and bit of imagination.
Ready to try it out for yourself? Here are a few fun ideas for turning your own photographs into ABC books that will bring lessons alive for your child.
1. Take photos of familiar objects around the home
It's often easier and more amusing for kids to practice their ABCs when they're already familiar with the things pictured, so you could compile photos of familiar toys or other household objects your child uses and interacts with on a daily basis.
For instance, "D" could be a photo of their favourite doll or dinosaur toy and "R" could be a picture of the refrigerator stocked with a few of their favourite snacks.
2. Create a little family tree
Creating an alphabet book using photographs of family members, friends and relatives is a fun way to help your child learn their ABCs, and it can also help them remember the names of all their aunts and uncles, nephews, nieces, and grandparents.
If you haven't got relatives whose names start with letters like Q or X, and most of us don't, giving each person a creative little tagline can make it easier. For instance "C is for Cool Aunt Mary" and "X is for your eXtremely fun nephew Tim," and so on.
3. Compile some of your fondest memories
If you want to put your photos of happy family outings or even amusing everyday occurrences to good use, an ABC book is one way to make sure they don't end up catching dust.
For instance, "N" could be for "Naptime" and would be accompanied by a photo of your child sleeping, or "V" could be for "Vegetables" and you could include a baby photo of your child enjoying a bowl of peas and carrots.
4. Use photos of familiar places
Using photographs of places your child has been to or visits regularly can also be fun, and you can add a little description of what can be done in each place. For instance, "P" could be for the park where they go to play after naptime, "B" could be for the bedroom where they sleep each night, and "Z" might be for the zoo they visited with their grandmother.
Of course you may need to get a bit creative to find familiar locations for each letter of the alphabet, but the end result will be an entertaining little chronicle of your child's early life.

Illegal drug possession is one of the most common charges in Utah criminal courts. State law gives strict penalties for convictions. Because of the high number of cases and the serious consequences involved, prosecutors work hard to push through drug cases as fast as possible.
If you have been charged with drug possession, this will sometimes work in your favor, and will sometimes work against you. It can work in your favor because you and your drug possession attorney can take the time to really get to know the case and come in to court prepared, in a position of strength. It can work against you because even if you are innocent, the prosecutor and the judge will often see you as "just another user" and you will get pushed through the system along with everybody else.
Drug Possession Defense Law
Utah law states that it is illegal for a person to "knowingly and intentionally" possess any "controlled substance" unless it is through a lawful medical prescription.
The law defines many different types of controlled substances and categorizes them into different categories according to how dangerous a drug is perceived to be, how addictive the substance is, and if the drug has any proven medical use. The categories range from Roman numerals I to V, with I being the most severe. Schedule I includes drugs like Ecstacy (MDMA), and heroin. The next category is schedule II, which includes drugs like cocaine, meth, (methamphetamine), and many prescription drugs. Schedule III includes steroids and schedule IV includes codeine and opium. (Strangely, marijuana is classified as a schedule I drug, but it is treated differently than other schedule I drugs by Utah criminal law.)
Utah law also says that drug possession can also include what is called "constructive possession," which usually happens when a person has an illegal substance in a car or home, and other people in the car or home know about it and do not specifically disclaim it. In these cases, a person can be found guilty even though he/she never bought, used, or actually possessed the drug.
Drug Possession Penalties
There are two types of penalties that come with drug possession convictions—criminal penalties and "collateral consequences." Criminal penalties are the penalties given by the judge as punishment for the crime. Collateral consequences are consequences that result from the conviction going onto your criminal record.

The 8th Annual Nerd Nite Nerdtacular will be Friday October 23 at 7:30pm at Le Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village near NYU. Hello Manhattan! As always, the Nerdtacular will feature a slew of shenanigans in addition to three funny-yet-smart presentations. You may find another dry t-shirt contest, you may be plucked from the audience to play a guitar or write a haiku, or you might just get really drunk. And thankfully, by popular request, there won't be a dance party this time! What better way to enjoy our 10th season than by attending our 8th Nerdtacular? That somehow makes sense, I think.

Organizational Behavior
Organizational behavior is essential to creating a strong, prosperous business or corporation.This paper will introduce organizational behavior. It will present trends and theories about this fairly new field. Other relevant topics that will be discussed are organizations, employment relationships, organization behavior trends, and the five-anchor system.
Organizational Behavior
In order to grasp the concept of organizational behavior it must be defined. Organizational behavior is the study of what people think, feel, and do in and around organizations (Mcshane & Glinow, 2005). Organization behavior has been around before it was unified in 1940. Its history or birth of ideas draw from Aristotle and evolve through Confucius, Adam Smith, Max Weber, Frederick Taylor and Elton Mayo. These philosophers also needed to have an understanding of an organization to write about its behaviors.
An organization is a group of people who work interdependently toward a goal or purpose.
There are three main reasons to study organizational behavior. They are for understanding organizational events, influencing organizational events, and predict organizational events. All of these are events are essential to help an organizational reach goals. The lack of this structure would make organizations unbalanced and difficult to manage.
Organizational Behavior Trends
As technology began to change, organizational behavior also changed. These changes eventually became trends. The first trend that will be discussed is globalization. Globalization is economic, social, and cultural connectivity with people in other parts of the world (McShane & Glinow, 2005). Globalization is often broken down to competitors around the world. The importation and exportation between countries is also considered. Globalization can be positive or negative. It can provide new business opportunities, create new jobs and build an economy. Globalization can also be negative through job outsourcing and not providing economic wealth to poorer countries. The success of...

SEN useful resources and links whilst at home
Please find below a toolkit with useful tips for a school closure:
These links are about how to talk to children about the virus, which can be particularly difficult for children with additional needs to understand:
This link has resources for pupils with dyslexia needs:
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Information Report
Academy Name: Eastcote Primary Academy
Academy Type: Primary
Pupils' attainment is tracked using the whole school tracking system and is discussed in termly progress meetings that are undertaken between the class teacher and a member of the Senior Leadership team.
Parents will be informed if the school considers their child may require additional support in order to improve progress and attainment.
We offer pastoral support for children who are encountering emotional difficulties. Your child's class teacher is the first person to contact with concerns about your child's overall wellbeing.
If further support is needed the class teacher will liaise with the SENCO who will give advice and support and put a plan of action into place.
Children with medical needs
At Eastcote we have a very positive approach to all types of behaviour with clear rewards and sanctions system that is followed by all staff and pupils.
If a child has on-going behavioural difficulties an Individual Behaviour Plan is written alongside the child, teacher and parents to identify the specific issues and put relevant support in place and set targets.
After any behaviour incident we expect children to reflect on their behaviour with a member of the Senior Leadership Team. They help to identify why the incident happened and what the child needs to do differently next time to change and improve their behaviour.
Attendance of every child is monitored on a daily basis by the Admin Assistant. Lateness and absence are recorded and reported to the Principal and monitored by the Education Welfare Officer (EWO).
Good attendance is rewarded termly with certificates.
We encourage every child to contribute and to express their thoughts and ideas which we value, respect and celebrate. We do this in different ways throughout the academy year:
If progress rates are judged to be inadequate despite the delivery of high quality teaching and interventions, advice will always be sought from external agencies regarding strategies to best meet the specific needs of a pupil. This will only be undertaken after parent permission has been obtained and may include referral to:
In addition, the school will involve external agencies as appropriate including health and social services, community and voluntary organisations for advice on meeting the needs of pupils with SEND and in further supporting their families.
The Academy has an Educational Psychologist (EP) provided by the Leigh Academy Trust (LAT). S/he would normally only work directly with children whose needs are felt to be quite considerable and have not responded well to the interventions previously put in place for them.
In order to help understand the pupil's educational needs better, the EP will generally meet with the parent and give feedback after the assessment has been completed.
S/he will offer advice to the academy and parent/carers on how to best support the child to move their learning forward or recommend another supporting agency.
The school provides Continual Professional Development to all staff and seeks specialist advice and training to meet individual needs of students as appropriate.
A number of strategies are in place to enable effective transition. These include:
On entry:
Primary to secondary transition:
The class teacher alongside the SENCO will discuss the child's needs and what support is appropriate.
Different children will require different levels of support depending on their needs.
For a very small percentage of pupils, whose needs are significant and complex and the SEND Support required to meet their needs cannot reasonably be provided from within the school's own resources, a request will be made to the local authority to conduct an assessment of education, health and care needs. This may result in an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan being provided.
If you wish to discuss your child's special educational needs or are unhappy about any issues regarding the school's response to meeting these needs please contact the following:
Please contact our Principal Mrs. Greene or the SENCO Mrs. Adams on 0208 856 1346

Some time ago, I ran into a produce manager that I know, who only has a couple of years' experience.
"All right, pop quiz," I said. "When are pomegranates in season?" His smile faded.
"Uh, pomegranates? Hey, I'll be honest. I don't know. They (the warehouse) just sends them." My smile faded too.
I recalled this when picking up some groceries at my neighborhood store. I thought, "That had to be the exception. Surely produce managers and clerks have a better grasp of product knowledge."
So I detoured through the crowded produce department where several employees were busy stocking.
As I put some bananas in my hand basket, the assistant produce manager was close by, stocking pineapple. "Those look great," I said. "How do you tell a ripe one?"
"Ripe pineapple will have a lot of gold color like these do," she answered. "And they'll have a nice sweet aroma, too."
"Ah, correct," I thought and then remembered the pomegranate question. I asked when to expect them and how long will they be in season. The confidence drained from her face.
"Oh, well you know. I've only been here four years. I really don't understand seasons. I think we received a case recently. We might get more in. Sorry."
I'd call that a case of why aren't produce people better trained?
Just then the produce manager walked by, and she called out to him and relayed my questions, which he paused and answered correctly that pomegranates had been limited lately and typically the supply season lasts through December.
"All correct," I thought, but what about his assistant? On the job four years and still hasn't recognized when basic items are available and admits a lack of seasonal knowledge?
Heading toward the checkout, I walked past a young man stocking the organic vegetable section of the wet rack. "Big cart, display looks good," I thought. "They usually assign knowledgeable people to stock this section, right?"
Wrong. When I asked the clerk what exactly organic means he said, "Unlike regular produce, organic doesn't contain growth hormones. You know, stuff that make children mature too quickly."
This brief snapshot leads me to this: We remain dismally behind regarding produce training. In this case, the produce manager's answer was good, the assistant's knowledge was incomplete, and the clerk must learn to discern facts from guesses.
Armand Lobato works for the Idaho Potato Commission. His 40 years' experience in the produce business span a range of foodservice and retail positions. E-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Tuff Love's sophomore release, Dross EP, captures the essence of the band's blistering live shows, as honeyed harmonies laze behind fuzz-drenched guitars, sleek bass lines and bruising drumming. 'Slammer' orbits a tense riff in the verses and lets rip in the choruses as Julie politely proclaims "I've got rage". 'That's Right' is a soaring adrenaline shot themed around instructions on a box of pain killers. 'Sebastian' bristles with low-down dropped-tuning hooks. Written on the night bus to London, 'Cum' is a swaying, savage-tender musing on regret and compassion. Get set to fall in love with Tuff Love all over again.

The People's Republic of China have hired several hundred so-called foreign experts and assigned them to specific state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to help transform these into modern world-class companies.
As far as John-James Farquharson knows, he was the first and only foreigner heading up the human resources in such an enterprise.
The purpose of this short book is to provide a snapshot of what really happens inside: how the party functions in the company; how people issues are addressed, including industrial and social unrest; the problems around petty irregularities and resistance to change; the daily challenges facing non-Chinese nationals; and finally, how companies outside the People's Republic are bought and integrated.

CHICAGO (CBS) — You might think people who own thriving businesses know a thing or two about reading a balance sheet or creating jobs, but a program at one of the City Colleges of Chicago shows us you're never too experienced to learn how to make even more money.
CBS 2's Jim Williams reports billionaire Warren Buffett and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein helped give advice to dozens of small business owners who graduated from a program at Malcolm X College on Tuesday.
Ken Williams is a successful businessman, owner of "The Shred Authority," a Chicago company that shreds and stores confidential documents. And he has the formal education to support his entrepreneurial ambitions – an MBA from Northwestern.
But his quest for knowledge did not end there. Here was one of 37 business owners who completed Goldman Sachs' "10,000 Small Businesses" program at Harold Washington College
Although some might say he knew everything he needed to know before he started the program, Williams said, "You don't know what you don't know."
Williams wanted to learn more about growing his business. He started the program in January and, since then, has hired two more workers.
He said it was "absolutely" due to the program at Harold Washington that he was able to hire those additional workers.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel attended Tuesday's graduation ceremony for the program, joining Blankfein and Buffett, who joked he had selfish motive for being here…
"I pretended that I was doing this for public service reasons and all that," Buffett said. "Not true, not true. I wanted to meet 37 people like I met this morning."
The program's aim is advise small businesses, which ultimately put people to work.
Danielle Hrzic runs Gourmet Gorilla, a rapidly growing catering company.
"This program came at a very critical time in our business, and understanding how to manage our financial resources, and being an effective leader," Hrzic said.
Williams said, "I'm a lifelong learner. Any small business that neglects that lifelong learning aspect, they're doomed to fail; because you always have to change your scope, and where you're going."
The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program is absolutely free, But it's not easy to get into. More than 150 business owners applied for the program, and fewer than 40 were accepted. They were in the first graduating class in Chicago. It's been done for a while in other cities.

New Haven, Conn. - The Albertus Magnus College baseball team dropped a pair of home Great Northeast Athletic Conference games to Saint Joseph's College of Maine on Sunday afternoon at Rochford Field. The Falcons came up short in both games to the Monks by the scores of 7-5 and 10-7.
FINAL (G1): Saint Joseph's (ME) 7 | Albertus Magnus 5
FINAL (G2): Saint Joseph's (ME) 10 | Albertus Magnus 7
RECORDS: Albertus Magnus (10-11, 3-5) | Saint Joseph's (ME) (20-6, 6-2)
- Senior Tyriq Harris (Waterbury, Conn.) is just one hit away from recording his 100th career hit.
- Senior Mike Browne (New Fairfield, Conn.) is three hits away from his 100th career win.
The Monks kicked off the doubleheader with one run advantage in the top of the first until the bottom of the third as back-to-back RBI's from Harris and Browne gave the Falcons the 2-1 edge.
Saint Joseph's came charging back scoring four runs in the fourth and a run in the fifth to take a 6-2 lead over the Falcons.
Albertus rallied in the bottom of the sixth scoring two runs on two hits and capitalized on a Monks' error to cut the lead to two, 6-4, but the Falcons stranded a runner on base following a pop up to second.
Saint Joseph's tacked on an addition run in the top of the seventh extending its lead to three, 7-4, behind a solo home run from Kevin Aylward.
In the home half of the inning, Albertus threatened the Monks with runners on first and second as Browne drove in Daniel Kennedy (Manchester, Conn.) from second to bring the score to 7-5.

- Richardson also added two RBI to his stat line.
Albertus came out with vengeance in the night cap scoring two runs in the first and five runs in the second to take a commanding 7-0 lead over the Monks.
The Falcons started off the bottom of the first loading the bases before a RBI groundout from Matt Warren (Wolcott, Conn.) drove in Browne, who started off the Falcons' at bat with a walk, for the first run of the game. Despite a strikeout from Spataj, Joseph Matthews (Anaheim, Conn.) was able to score giving the hosts the 2-0 edge.
Despite two outs in the bottom of the second, Albertus continued to swing the bat and managed to score all five runs, including a three-run RBI triple from Spataj, before recording the final out of the inning.
Saint Joseph's started to make some noise in the top of the fourth as a solo home run from Hunter Richardson gave the visitors the spark needed to secure the comeback.
In the following inning, the Monks cut the deficit to within four, 7-3, before topping the Falcons 10-7 in game two after scoring an impressive seven runs in the sixth behind a pair of home runs from Kevin Aylward and Greg Emanuelson.
- Browne finished game two with a 2-for-3 showing at the plate to go along with two runs scored and a RBI.
- Spataj also registered a two-hit performance for the Falcons as well as posted a team-high three RBI.

When I first started writing The Boston Jazz Chronicles, the clarinetist, saxophonist and bandleader Dick Johnson was one of the first jazz artists to take me under his wing. I knew very little about the history of Boston jazz when I embarked on that project, and I needed help. Johnson's music is one of the reasons I became a jazz fan in the first place, and it was a pleasure to meet him. He was affable and down-to-earth as well as knowledgeable, and we talked often.
Dick Johnson died on January 10, 2010, and it's become my custom to remember him around that date each year by listening to a few of his recordings. This year I pulled out his 1958 Riverside release, Most Likely; his self-produced and sadly out-of-print CD Artie's Choice! from 2004; and my personal favorite, Swing Shift, released by Concord Jazz in 1981. This one is out of print, too. Shame on you, Concord.
Come to think of it, Dick Johnson recorded eight albums as a leader, and most are unavailable:
- Music for Swinging Moderns, EmArcy MG 36081, recorded 1956
- Most Likely, Riverside RLP 12-253, recorded 1957
(These albums are available as Music for Swinging Moderns: Dick Johnson Quartet Sessions 1956-57, Fresh Sounds FSR CD 528.)
- Dick Johnson Plays, Concord CJ-107, 1979
- Spider's Blues, Concord Jazz CJ-135, 1980
- Swing Shift, Concord Jazz CJ-167, 1981
- Broadway Openings, North Star Records NS0061, 1994
- Artie's Choice!, Self-produced, 2004
- Star Dust & Beyond: A Tribute to Artie Shaw, Crazy Scot Records 20061, 2006 (might still be available on CD Baby)
While listening to the music, I updated my previous Dick Johnson posts: on Dick's first album as a leader, Music for Swinging Moderns, and on his becoming leader and featured soloist in the reborn Artie Shaw Orchestra in 1983. And then I updated an article I first wrote in 2010, "Dick Johnson: Never on the Ragged Edge," and added the link to the PDF to my library page.
Lastly, I added the opening track from Swing Shift to my YouTube channel. Here is a version of Clark Terry's "Jones" that I guarantee will get you moving. This is Dick Johnson's conception of the small big band at its best!
This version of the Swing Shift band was a hard-working joy to behold. It featured Dick and Jimmy Derba on the woodwinds, and Kenny Wenzel and Rick Hammett playing the brass. The rhythm section included pianist Paul Schmeling, bassist Paul Del Nero, and drummer Gary Johnson.
I should post the whole album on YouTube…
Dick, Thanks for this new post on the great Dick Johnson. I have numerous happy memories of seeing over the years, from The Columns in West Dennis in 1971 to Long Beach in 2004, where he accepted the NEA Jazz Masters award for Artie Shaw. It was especially cool on that occasion to hear Dick's Brockton accent booming throughout a huge auditorium as he acknowledged Artie as his early hero. The last time I saw Dick was in 2008 at a Colonial church northwest of the Quabbin in New Salem, Mass., where he picked up a cold clarinet and played the greatest "Memories of You" I've ever heard.
During the early 1970s, I was in a church-sponsored marching band that changed over to a stage band. The music instructor, Al Tobias, was a friend of Dick's, and had him come in and play for us, just to give us a demonstration of what improvising was all about. While we played simple blues changes, Dick took off on alto and stunned us. It was like a bomb had gone off in the room – they guy dazzled us. RIP
Geez, Dick, I don't even know if I have a copy. Do post the tracks on U2B. Fred B.
Yes! Please post the whole album on You Tube. I can't find a copy of the recording anywhere. Thanks for the memories and this homage to a great musician. I did many society dance gigs, when a vocalist was added to the mix, with the Swing Shift and it was always a pleasure standing side by side with that 4 horn lineup! and in front of the swinging-est rhythm section–usually Gary Johnson, Paul DelNero and Paul Schmelling.

Whilst studying land flatworms in Liverpool hothouse, we noticed some "jumping" earthworms. They are extremely vigorous when disturbed and leap about all over the place. On checking in Sims & Gerard, it is clear that they are a species of Amynthas (Megascolecidae) but none of the species listed. I have preserved specimens (and video of their leaping!) if anyone is interested in taking these further.

Punxsutawney Phil for Congress?
Monday is Groundhog Day. Again!
That means thousands of people will descend on the tiny Indiana County borough of Punxsutawney and its surrounding countryside to watch nature's meteorologist, Punxsutawney Phil, do his job at the crack of dawn.
Will Phil see his shadow to tell us there will be six more weeks of winter in 2015 or won't he see his shadow in which case we will learn spring will be early?
Phil's ability to predict the weather is not just legend made famous by Bill Murray's "Groundhog Day" movie in 1993.
A whopping 81 percent of Pennsylvanians say they can depend on Phil's predictions, according to a new survey by Public Policy Polling, a Raleigh, N.C., research firm that likes to have fun with polling data. The poll found 59 percent of Pennsylvanians have a favorable opinion of Punxsutawney Phil and only 12 percent think he's a distasteful rat. Affection crosses party lines with 56 percent of Republicans, 61 percent of Democrats, and 60 percent of independents saying they like Phil.
Respondents say his predictions are so dependable, they could use him in Congress. Half of those surveyed said Phil could do a better job than current members of Congress and 29 percent said he couldn't.
Browne gets another due
State Sen. Pat Browne, the Lehigh Valley area's longest serving member of the Legislature's upper chamber, is off to a hot start this year.
Last week, the Republican from Allentown was given an award for his years of service trying to advance causes and funding for children. The Be Someone for Kids award was given to him Wednesday by Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, one of the state's leading nonprofit, non-partisan advocacy groups that supports early childhood education and children's health issues.
"Pat Browne has played a critical role in some key victories for kids, helping to enact public policies and spur state investments that have helped countless kids — from newborns to toddlers to teens — and improved not just the lives of our children, but the quality of life in our commonwealth," said Joan Benso, the partnership's president and CEO.
The award cited Browne's work in passing the Ounce of Prevention Act in 1999, which established Pennsylvania's first home-visitation law for at-risk families and their newborn children. It also cited his role in helping set up and chair the Legislature's Early Childhood Education Caucus, a bipartisan and bicameral caucus with more than 120 members created to support high-quality early childhood care and education programs. Finally, the award cited Browne's role in writing the law that set up funding commissions for special education and fair funding commissions.
The award is the second major boost for Browne's legislative career, which began in 1995 in the House. In November, he won the coveted Republican leadership post of Senate Appropriations chairman, giving him a seat in the front row of budget talks with Gov. Tom Wolf and the House.
Where's the governor?
New Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf has pledged to be more open than ousted Republican Gov. Tom Corbett was about his comings and goings. Beginning this week, Wolf will post his full work calendar online. The first calendar upload is supposed to include his schedule through Friday. In addition, Wolf has begun to release Day Ahead public appearance advisories, which also will be posted online.
So could Wolf's schedule for Wednesday say Commonwealth Court? That's where his administration, backed by civil lawyers from the attorney general's office, will be as it looks to defend Wolf against a lawsuit challenging the governor's decision to fire Erik Arneson from his position as executive director of the Office of Open Records. The lawsuit was filed by Arneson and Senate Republicans.
Regardless of where Wolf is Wednesday, his pledge to publicize his schedule is far different from the cloak-and-dagger moves Corbett employed.
The Associated Press had to sue the Corbett administration to gain access to his daily schedule under the state Right-to-Know Law. Even after losing the lawsuit, the administration still had a spotty record of informing media about his public schedule. So reporters often had a tough time getting to see Corbett interact with citizens or comment on issues affecting the state. In the latter part of Corbett's administration, his new public affairs team tried to make the governor more accessible by giving more timely updates about his planned public appearances. But by then, protest groups were growing, turning Corbett's appearances into circuses.
The rest is history.

Answers to common questions
When will I find out if I am receiving a scholarship?
If you will be receiving an in-course scholarship, you will normally be notified in August by email. The email will direct you to accept the award on your UVic My Page. This includes the majority of in-course scholarships including departmental or specific-criteria scholarships, GPA-based scholarships and those that require an online or paper application. Please note that UVic's Athletic scholarships will be awarded in January, and email notifications will be sent at that time.
When will I receive my scholarship?
For your scholarship to be disbursed into your tuition fee account, you must normally be registered in 12 academic units (wait-listed courses are not included) between September and April (80% course load). Students with disabilities, including those who are on a reduced course load, are eligible to be considered for scholarships and awards. Please see the Scholarship Regulations for more information.
Scholarship funds will be disbursed in two installments in the Winter Session (September-April). 50% will be disbursed in September (Term 1) before the Tuition Fees deadline, and 50% will be disbursed in January (Term 2) before the Tuition Fees deadline. Both amounts will be applied against your Winter Session (Term 1 and Term 2) tuition and fees.
You can log into your UVic My Page, Account Summary by Term to view this. Any scholarships or awards will be displayed as 'UVic Undergrad Awards'.
What if my award is for more than my tuition fees?
If there is a credit in your account after paying for 12 academic units in the Winter Session, you may request a refund cheque from Tuition Accounting after the last day for adding courses in January (Term 2). Refunds will normally not be issued in September (Term 1).
Am I still eligible if I drop or withdraw from a course?
If you drop or withdraw from a class and fall below 12 graded units at UVic or an 80% courseload, your scholarship will be withdrawn. All UVic scholarships require a student to register and maintain enrolment in 12 graded units at the University of Victoria in two terms of study, unless they are in a registered co-op/work-term or are registered with the Centre for Accessible Learning.
If you have any questions about whether you will be in jeopardy of losing your scholarship due to course withdrawal, please contact the Entrance Scholarship Officer at firstname.lastname@example.com or the In-Course Scholarship Officer at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you hold a renewable scholarship you must be registered in 12 graded units at UVic in two terms of study in the academic year or your scholarship may be forfeit for renewal.
Please note that if you drop a class and fall below 12 graded units of study at UVic, you will no longer be eligible for the general in-course scholarships for the following academic year.

What about the T710 ? I am designing an outdoor park area with a capacity of 2500+ clients, so I am looking at sectorial design and the most capacity capable AP model.
Hi, can I get some clarification between Max users and likely performance? We have seen some performance results that seem to come quite short of those reported maximums, and I am wondering how other factors might affect the expected maximum number of users.
Here is our scenario: we have an R600 AP located in our front office. It utilizes both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, and is configured through the Controller to split clients evenly between both. We have 4 defined WLANs, all using AES encryption. Our office is fairly saturated, with wireless pollution usually reported around 25-50% and we share the building with a sister company that is serving up their own wireless on a Ruckus 7363, with that AP being located within 50-75 feet of ours AP.
What we experience, at least 3 to 5 times every month, (sometimes 6 to 9 times in a month), is that this front office AP will flat line on the throughput for the 2.4 GHz band. However, user devices will still show the Wi-Fi connected as if there are no issues, they will simply notice that any attempts at network/Internet connectivity will fail. Users on the 5.0G Hz band will continue to function without issue while this is occurring to the 2.4 band. Typically, the only way for us to resolve this is to power cycle the AP; although sometimes after 10 to 15 minutes the 2.4 band will recover on its own and throughput will be restored. The confusing part is that these issues will occur with only 45 to 55 total users on this AP, and they are split 50-50 between the 2.4 and 5.0 bands, meaning there are never more than 30 users on the 2.4 band when it appears to fail. This is well below the reported 128 user max on AES. Are there factors that could account for the low amount of maximum users that we are seeing? And is the failure that we experience with the 2.4 band, is that the typical behavior when the AP has more clients/activity than it can handle?
In the past we have turned off features such as throttling (was on one WLAN), which greatly helped performance, as the throttling was too much for the device/cpu to handle. So based upon that, it really does appear that the R600 can only accommodate that amount of our users. It is not defective hardware, because we have tried multiple R600 units, and all experience the same results when placed in the front office. We have also had wireless surveys taken of our front office, and that has not turned up any sort of extreme interference that would account for what we are seeing.
Advertised client numbers don't take into account significant traffic, those are best case connections if users were just sending text data for example.
If your users are excercising the network more heavily, it might help to have another AP in use.
I have seen more users on both those models of AP, but I don't know your actual environment.
When we did have Ruckus support take a look at this situation, along with our reseller/network support vendor, they could never come up with a workable solution. The Ruckus support tech told us that whenever the CPU of the Access Point reached 30-40% capacity, then we could begin to see client drops. That minimal of a load on the CPU seems crazy to me that it would result in client drops, but this was not always a consistent factor (I've seen the throughput failure occur with minimal CPU load). We were also told that the sirq value should always be 0% on an AP - and that if it got into the teens then we could see drops (somewhat consistent; I have records of the sirq value being over 60% during some outages, but then also as low as 0% during other outages). Ruckus support then said to eliminate all multicast traffic on the wireless network, which we could not comply with as a solution.
We can have occasion for significant traffic (especially internally with massive graphic files between our design & print teams and our file servers), which we historically tried to monitor while these issues were occurring, and found some correlation. I think then that your response probably confirms what I had been thinking, that we occasionally have unique circumstances that cause us to reach a theoretical maximum on the 2.4 band. The only frustrating part is how the AP then behaves with failing to allow any traffic through on that 2.4 band only.
We are upgrading to an R720 soon, so hopefully that will help alleviate the problem. I will follow-up with Ruckus support if we have continued issues after that. At that point I would likely also consider purchasing and installing a second AP in that office area.
May I know that if it enable the mac auth, or web portal login will it affect the value?
How about the value on R700?

St Brendan's GAA Club, residing in the heart of Dublin 7, is one of the oldest sporting organisations in the area, with nearly 150 active playing members and 300 non‐playing members.
Prior to the re‐development of DIT/Grangegorman, the club were based in the grounds of St. Brendan's Hospital, Grangegorman. Currently, we are based in Longmeadows, Chapelizod Road. The club has an extensive playing area, with a full‐sized playing pitch, floodlit training area and dressing rooms.
Once, DIT/Grangegorman is finished, we will return to the grounds with access to state of the art facilities including a floodlit full‐sized playing area, astro-turf area and gym. Our aim is to be an established leader in organising, developing and promoting Gaelic Games in Dublin 7 and to be at the heart of the community, providing a positive, fun, challenging and inclusive experience for all our members – on and off the pitch.
At Adult level, the club fields two men's football teams, a men's hurling team and a ladies football team. 2010 marked the club's 90th anniversary and plans are afoot to celebrate its 100th milestone in style.
This year, it was decided that a Girls & Boys GAA nursery be set up in the club. We believe this is an exciting prospect for many reasons:
- Currently no Juvenile GAA club or nursery in the area
- Very few sporting clubs in the area
- Densely populated, disadvantaged area
- St. Brendan's have an established club in place with motivated leaders and coaches
If you would like to register your childs interest in joining the club please complete the form below and a club member will contact you shortly.

I drive a car that displays Haunted Scotland in the back window, letting people know where to find the website, what I do and how they may contact me, if need be.
In conjunction with the knowledge, that many hold, that I research the paranormal and even visit haunted hot-spots, it certainly raises some eyebrows.
Those who deem themselves as "Normal" scoff at the idea, they see what they are doing as normal, in everyday life. More still, both religious people and left-brained academics may look down their nose at such ludicrous behaviour.
So, what is normal?
Is normality, believing that there is a guy sitting on a cloud in the sky passing judgement, ready to strike down those who break his commandments, but at the same time a forgiving all loving guy.
How about, the universe (nature included), being constructed in a mechanical way following set patterns which no one created, but had the unique ability to form in such a way, that if even one setting was wrong, life could not exist.
What came first, the chicken or the egg folks?
So, is it "Not-Normal" to be researching in-between these stances, while faced with a plethora of personal experiences from the mass of the world population?
Some people like to be told how the world works, they are happy to sit back and soak up the nightly news, privately funded scientific guesses or make judgements without really knowing the truth, only pretending to know, with a set of reasons to hit out with.
If any of this is normal, I am glad to be abnormal and I want no part of it.
You see, my soul purpose is to dig deep into the mysteries and find out exactly what is going on. This has to be done with an open-mind that is flexible enough not to be attached to outcomes, but willing to shift as new data becomes available.
This means questioning EVERYTHING which yes, does include, news channels, authority positions and scientific studies. Why would any one sit back and allow themselves to be dictated too without testing things for themselves….is this not a disservice to you?
Millions have reported ghostly activity from every culture in the world. This is universal in scope, it's not some run of the mill, not normal, few. This is massive and yet, still, science or those who fund research are unwilling to dive deep into it all.
Every single one of us can do things that no one else can do – can love things that on one else can love. We are like violins. We can be used for doorstops, or we can make music. You know what to do.
Barbara Sher
Why not, where is the money to be made in finding out there is an afterlife? How can authoritative institutions control a populace, through fear, war and economical terrorism if people are not afraid to die? How does the control system stand up to the people deciding they no longer wish to be slaves to the 6am job, or the mortgage repayments that are crippling their life.
If any of this is normal, yup, I will stay abnormal…..
What would happen if everyone decided to start afresh, wiped out the conditioning that had been bombarded at them since the age of 4, through state controlled schools, topics you must learn and topics that were selectively left out. No one is taught about money for example, where it comes from and who controls it, are they? How about law so you can take care of your own needs? Nope!!
Only subjects that support the "Normal" system!!
I think it's about time we look at what people are classing as normal, then sit and think deeply about such. We are, obviously, all born unique so why this scramble to be seen as normal, as defined by society and a complicit mainstream media?
Should it not be a case of finding your truth, living your life on purpose and opening up to the possibilities that reality, might in fact, be more crazier than you were conditioned to believe.
Personally, I do not mind how people classify me, like I said in a previous article, I have no box to be placed in. I do worry about people and their experiences though, as I know for an absolute fact, that most are reluctant to share for fear of ridicule from the "Normal" ones.
Rest assured, these aforementioned normality peeps, have no Idea who they are, why they are here and how life came about. So if they are judging you, they are being a bit hypocritical and hiding their true inner feelings and thinking.
We are all unique, we all have our loves and passions so please stick to them. Do not join the "normal club" so you can be a copy, spread your wings and soar!!
My passion is the mysteries, truth finding and communicating with other like-minded individuals. I push from the boundaries of paranormal research, keeping my distance from the group think area who ridicule others, and really just hypothesising new thought and techniques.
What is your passion? Is it time to let it soar?

Holiday Party 2016 Recap
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the annual Holiday Party of the Underfashion Club on Tuesday, December 6th! It was our first time celebrating the holidays at The Harvard Club in Manhattan and it was great! Club members and friends mingled, drank, dined, and danced to a fantastic mix of popular songs fitting to the season, spun by the talented DJ Tom! The Photo Booth was a festive touch, bringing friends together for silly poses with holiday-themed props. We're glad you all enjoyed it!
Underfashion Club President Victor Vega extended a special thank you to long-time members, contributors, and Santa's little helpers, who collected 180 wrapped presents from generous guests for the annual gift drive held for the children of Women In Need, Inc, a New York based charity. Thank you all for helping make Holiday dreams come true for the children!
Out of the four fabulous designs put forth for the Ugly Intimates Contest, only one could win! Roz Harte, board member of the Underfashion Club, pointed out that while none of them were "ugly," one design was a clear winner because it looked so uncomfortable to wear. Congratulations to Walter Costello and Clelia Parisi for their winning design, "Santa's Athleisure" (shown on the right)! Their prize was free admission to a Program event of their choice.
Lastly, we announced the winners of the annual raffle! For each present brought for the gift drive, the donor received one raffle ticket. The first prize awarded was a bottle of wine, won by Camille Block. Another bottle of wine was awarded to Glen Schneer. Zhanna Shmukler won a ticket to the 2017 FEMMY, and a second ticket to the FEMMY was won by the very lucky Camille Block. Congratulations!
