Managing Editor
Last semester I didn't turn in an essay that was worth 20% of my grade until a week after it was due, so (per the syllabus) my professor didn't accept it and I received a zero.
Did I cry? Maybe. Did I fail the class? Almost. But, did I get kicked out of Denison or lose my scholarship? No. Did my cat stop loving me or my parents disown me? Not yet. Am I squandering my potential and wasting all the opportunities I've been given? I hope not.
In high school, I took 9 AP classes, skipped a math class and thought if you received less than a "B" it said something about your character; who you were as a person.
However, what you do in middle school doesn't matter in high school, and high school doesn't matter in college. Of course, that's not to say grades aren't important. If I hadn't done well in high school, I wouldn't have gotten into Denison. I can't get into medical school or go directly to grad school with my current GPA. I probably am not going get a job at Goldman Sachs.
The decisions I've made have consequences. But the number isn't everything.
Yes, there were times that I forgot the memo that Denison is about getting an academic education first. There were times I should have reevaluated my priorities and managed my time better. That paper that I turned in late wasn't the first; I definitely had a sophomore slump and it ended farther into junior year than I would have liked.
However, I can't dwell on that because the number doesn't reflect that I've grown and matured the past three years.
It's cliche, but failures are opportunities to learn. I've stopped waiting until the last minute to start assignments, become more open about concerns before assignments are due and taken advantage of the various resources available on campus. From freshman to senior year, I've figured out a lot about who I am and what I want. Sure, I'm still insecure and question if people like me, but overall I think I'm smart, funny and pretty, and I like to think that I don't need anyone else to validate that.
So, now it's senior year. I don't know if I'm ready, and it certainly wasn't the smoothest of journeys, but it's here. Before I walk across the stage and shake Dr. Weinberg's hand, there are innumerable things I need to figure out. But, should I regret a few of my grades? No, because I failed, but I survived.
Emily Shane is a history major and Spanish minor from Boston, Mass.

No pressure not a good thing for Clay Matthews and the Packers
Wed., May 23, 2018
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Clay Matthews is learning new playbook terminology this spring under a new defensive coordinator, though his overall goals haven't changed.
It's more important than ever for the Green Bay Packers' long-haired linebacker to get to the quarterback.
The Packers didn't add a potential game-changing edge rusher in free agency or via the draft. They focused on another defensive priority and replenished the cornerback position with veteran Tramon Williams and draft picks Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson.
That leaves Matthews and Nick Perry as leaders of a pass rush that had trouble getting consistent pressure last year.
"Well, I wasn't surprised with the first two picks. … But obviously, you look at the depth at the outside linebacker position, and it's not that great," Matthews said. "That's not a slight to the guys who are behind Nick and myself, but you look around the league, a lot of times they're rotating in pass rushers."
The Packers had veteran Julius Peppers in the mix on the edge a couple seasons ago, but he returned to Carolina in 2017. Second-year player Kyler Fackrell and veteran Ahmad Brooks, who combined for 4 1/2 sacks, were the primary backups outside.
Matthews and Perry each missed time last season with injuries. With a lack of production from the bench, getting fresh blood seemed to make sense.
Matthews said he understands that signings don't always go as planned for the front office. There are only so many draft picks to make. The salary cap limits spending.
"I'm happy with the picks they made, and at the same time it does show … their confidence in Nick and myself, as well as the guys we have," Matthews said. "At some time I'm sure it will be addressed, but for the time being the guys we have here are the guys who have to hold up their end of the bargain."
It would help if Fackrell and second-year player Vince Biegel became more productive. Biegel missed the first seven games last season because of a foot injury.
"The biggest gains we've always made have been from our returning players, particularly the second, third year players," coach Mike McCarthy said after the draft about outside linebacker depth.
The pass rush could get more productive if other areas of the defense also improve.
Tighter pass coverage could give edge rushers more time to get to the quarterback. Green Bay also hopes to get more push up front from free agent signee Muhammad Wilkerson, who has 44 1/2 career sacks.
He joins Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry on the line, which should be the strength of new coordinator Mike Pettine's defense. Pettine was the New York Jets' defensive coordinator in Wilkerson's first two years in the league in 2011-12.
"Everybody's learning, some of the wording is a little different from back years ago when I was with Pettine," Wilkerson said. "We're all getting through it."
Matthews knows that Pettine wants to be aggressive, though there is plenty of time to figure out exactly what role he'll play this fall. It's quite possible that it doesn't change much after Matthews showed the flexibility to play both outside and inside the last few years.
Pettine replaced Dom Capers, who was fired after the 7-9 season. Capers had been Matthews' only defensive coordinator since the linebacker entered the league in 2009.
"Like I said, someone needed to fall on the knife. I think it's all done to get better results, and that's exactly what we're here for," Matthews said. "In the new defense we're getting ready to hit this season strong and, like I said, hold up our end of the bargain."

The Celtics celebrate their NBA Championship, just like all the other sports teams do in Boston… in Duck Boats! Yesterday, the Celtics traveled from the TD Banknorth Garden to Copley Square while fans gathered around to watch the Green flaunt their victory. Unfortunately, I had to work and logistically could not take the day off. One of my friends who was on PACE with me, Dan Fornash, went to the rolling rally and allowed me to use these pictures in my blog. Thanks Dan!

The next few pictures are fans gathering along the streets of Boston waiting for the duck boats to pass.

Rukla, LTU - On 5 February an official ceremony, held at the Jonusas Radvila Training Regiment, marked the first anniversary of the deployment of the German-led enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Battlegroup to Lithuania.
For the occasion, troops from Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Croatia and France formed up on the parade area and were congratulated by the President of the Republic of Lithuania, Dalia Grybauskaitè, the NATO Deputy Secretary General, Rose Gottemoeller, Allied representatives, defence ministers and chiefs of defence from Lithuania and eFP contributing nations.
Commander JFC Brunssum, General Salvatore Farina, also attended the ceremony as the NATO Operational Commander, to pay tribute to the multinational troops one year after welcoming them upon their arrival in Lithuania.
The ceremony also involved the change of command of the eFP Battlegroup, with the outgoing commander of the German forces, Lieutenant Colonel Thorsten Gensler, handing over to his successor, Lieutenant Colonel Wolf Rudiger Otto.
The multinational forces in Lithuania are led by Germany, supported by troops from Croatia, France, the Netherlands and Norway. The battlegroup, which first deployed in January 2017, is fully integrated into the Lithuanian Armed Forces Mechanised Infantry Brigade 'Iron Wolf'.

More than 20 women died in Peru during a period when the British Government provided more than £7.5 million to assist Peru with population and health measures. The British Government say it would not be "possible to disaggregate these figures further without incurring disproportionate cost." The women who died during these programmes are sadly not in a position to argue but it can be surmised that they would regard the loss of their lives as a price too high. Whether it is coercion through the one child policy in China, gendercide in India, or death through forcible sterilisation in Peru, it amounts to the same thing – a gross violation of human rights and a subsequent callous indifference by the population control lobby. The failure of successive British governments to ensure that its funding is not used in the pursuit of these policies brings great shame on the United Kingdom.
Peru: Question July 6th 2011
Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench)
To ask Her Majesty's Government what reports they have received about a sterilisation programme in Peru and about the number of women who have allegedly died as a consequence of the programme; and what representations they have made since May 2010 to the Government of Peru regarding the programme.
• Hansard source (Citation: HL Deb, 6 July 2011, c82W)
Lord Howell of Guildford (Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office; Conservative)
The Peruvian Government commission set up to investigate the programme concluded in 2002 that the responsible parties should be brought to justice and the victims be compensated. Investigations carried out by the commission and independent human rights groups suggest at least 20 women died as a direct result of the programme.
Former President Alberto Fujimori's programme of mass sterilisation was carried out in Peru from 1996 to 1998. We have received no new reports and have made no new representations on the subject to the Government of Peru during the period in question.
Question July 20th 2011
Asked by Lord Alton of Liverpool
To ask Her Majesty's Government what financial assistance they provided to population control programmes operating in Peru between 1996 and 1998.[HL11063]
Baroness Verma: The Department for International Development's (DfID) total gross public expenditure for Peru in the years 1996-97 and 1997-98 were £3,537,000 and £4,097,000 respectively. Total DfID spending, across all countries on health and population, was £116.11 million in 1996-97 and £117.44 million in 1997-98.
It is not possible to disaggregate these figures further without incurring disproportionate cost.

Tips For Selecting The Right Dental Products
Whenever you are in the grocery store, and you remember that you need to buy a toothbrush, how do you choose which one to buy? You find yourself in an aisle with rack after rack of toothbrushes in various shapes, colors, and sizes. Some toothbrushes are electronic while others are the traditional type. With the numerous toothbrush options available in the market, how do you know that you're buying the right one?
When it comes to your oral health care, dentists recommend that you remember these tips to help you choose the right one:
Tip 1: Choose the Soft Ones
Soft-bristled toothbrushes have been the recommendation of most dental professionals. The soft bristles help clean the teeth without causing damage to its natural enamel leading to sensitive teeth. Also, soft-bristled toothbrushes are the best because they do not harm the gums, which is what holds the teeth in place. Healthy teeth and gums should always be the priority when it comes to choosing the toothbrush you buy.
Tip 2: Pick the Right Size
There are small toothbrushes, medium ones and larger ones. The right shape and size will depend on what is most comfortable for you. Does it fit in your mouth comfortably and does it reach the more difficult areas in the mouth.
Tip 3: Manual or Electric?
Either is good but it can be a matter of preference. Manual brushes are the standard. Some people feel an electronic toothbrush more do a more thorough job since they can hold it in place longer than the manual. For your kids, if a manual one makes brushing a challenge, try an electric one. It might get them excited. A good electric toothbrush may provide that extra motivation to keep them brushing. When choosing an electric toothbrush, consider battery, cost, quality and replace-ability (ie: some brushes only need to replace the bristles tips, others the entire brush portion).
Finding the right dental products and oral health care accessories plays a big role in keeping the teeth and the gums in perfectly healthy condition.

Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman has called for a national inquiry into shocking levels of child sex exploitation.
And in the wake of the Rotherham abuse scandal, he revealed that he had fears about the problem in Huddersfield and the rest of West Yorkshire six years ago.
Mr Sheerman said he investigated claims that teenage girls from Huddersfield and Dewsbury were being lured into sex by older men.
The veteran MP now believes there must be a widespread national inquiry in to the problems, which were laid bare last week in a shock report into the Rotherham case. That report looked at more than 1,400 cases of girls being lured into sex abuse by gangs of mainly Asian men.
West Yorkshire Police have confirmed they are currently investigating 65 cases of alleged child sexual exploitation.
Mr Sheerman said: "I was first approached back in 2008 by people who were concerned at what was happening to children in care.
"I also heard from, members of a group called CROP, who worked with prostitutes in West Yorkshire, with horror stories of pimps preying on young girls. There were claims that girls from Huddersfield were being taken to cities like Manchester and abused.
"I spoke to senior police officers and to Kirklees Council and was told the problem was very difficult to investigate, as many of the girls had not made complaints.
" In light of what has happened in Rotherham, I believe we have to have a national inquiry involving all agencies to see what needs to be done".
Meanwhile members of Huddersfield Pakistani Community Alliance have levelled those involved in Rotherham as vile criminals, but also condemned sensational reporting in national newspapers of the abuse scandal.
A spokesman said: "Regarding the paedophiles in Rotherham or elsewhere, they are vile criminals, lacking in conscience, humanity and remorse. Society needs to be protected from them."

Crack in NDA in Bihar? LJP mulls fielding candidates against JD-U
Wednesday - September 16, 2020 5:13 pm , Category : INDIA
New Delhi, Sep 16 (IANS) In could lead to a major crack in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar ahead of the crucial state Assembly polls scheduled later this year, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) leaders have demanded to field candidates on the seats contested by the ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U).The LJP also asked the BJP to contest on more seats than the ruling JD-U in the state.According to a highly-placed LJP source, the demands were raised during the meeting of all the MPs and former MPs of the party at the residence of LJP supremo Chirag Paswan here.A party source present in the meeting told IANS that all the MPs and former MPs of the LJP demanded that the BJP should contest more seats than the JD-U in Bihar."Former MP Kali Pandey demanded that the LJP should announce candidates on seats which are being contested by the JD-U in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections," the source said.The LJP and the JD-U have been trading barbs at each other over last few months. Chirag Paswan has openly criticised Nitish Kumar over the handling of the migrant workers' crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic and the floods in the state, besides writing to the Bihar Chief Minister on several occasions. However, Nitish Kumar has not responded to any of his letters. During the September 7 meeting of the LJP parliamentary board, the party decided to draw up the candidates' list for 143 out of 243 seats in the state. Its leaders reportedly demanded that the party must not contest the elections under Nitish Kumar's leadership.The party source said that during the meeting, the party leaders also hailed the projects launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bihar in the last one week. The LJP leaders also slammed the Bihar government over the rise of 'officialism' in the state, the party source said. During the meeting, Chirag Paswan and all the other party members opposed the works being done by Nitish Kumar in Bihar and accused him of not fulfilling his poll promise of providing three decimal land to the poor in the state. The party leaders also passed a resolution condemning the statement of JD-U MP Lalan Singh's on the Prime Minister. They also welcomed the statement of JD-U General Secretary KC Tyagi that LJP did not have an alliance with his party. The LJP source further said that Chirag Paswan had held a meeting with BJP President JP Nadda on Tuesday night, where both the leaders discussed the projects inaugurated by Narendra Modi in the poll-bound state. The party source close to the LJP chief said that during the meeting, Chirag Paswan had asked Nadda to contest more seats than the JD-U. The source also claimed that the meeting of the two leaders ahead of the announcement of the poll dates was a positive sign.The LJP, which fought the 2015 Assembly elections with the BJP as an ally partner, had contested 55 seats and managed to win just two.The Election Commission had said earlier this month that the elections for the 243- member Bihar Assembly will be completed by November 29.(Anand Singh can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com)

Images BigBoy. Richard Leonard's Union Pacific Big Boys and Challengers Gallery - Presented by Richard Leonard's Rail Archive (railarchive.net) This web site presents images of the Union Pacific Railroad's famous "Big Boy" 4-8-8-4 articulated locomotives, along with the well-known "Challenger" 4-6-6-4s.
I took most of these photos on 35mm film during a family vacation trip from Illinois to Colorado and Wyoming in the summer of 1957, and my brother took others on his camera with a larger negative size. A few photos were taken later in museums or during a 2002 trip by Challenger 3985, the still-operating survivor of that class. In 1957 we encountered the 4-8-8-4s operating out of the Union Pacific terminal at Laramie, Wyoming, while the 4-6-6-4s frequented the main line between Cheyenne and Omaha. The Laramie terminal was a hotbed of activity, servicing the "Big Boys" plus other power including anoccasional 4-8-4, the gas turbine electrics and road freight diesels, and local power including a2-8-0.

Starting in 1941, Alco Locomotive Works built 25 of the biggest locomotives that ever lived.
The main reason being the Wasatch Mountains, particularly Sherman Hill. This was a stretch of the Union Pacific Railroad's mainline characterized by a continuous, steep 1.55% grade. In order to keep the tonnage moving over the hill, a helper service was a necessity. This was costly. The class 4000s put an end to that.

Basic Information on the Union Pacific BigBoy........ BigBoy, the largest successful engine ever created, was not only a technological achievement and trophy piece, rather a necessity for the Union Pacific Railroad. Alco Locomotive Works was commissioned to build the engine. BigBoy served as king of the hill for 21 years! The day came that all steam BUFFs refused to accept, September 4th, 1957, not a single BigBoy was dispatched west out of the Cheyenne yards. 8 survive today.
4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" Locomotives. During the late 1930s, the Union Pacific often used helpers to move trains from Ogden to Wahsatch.
The UP wanted to simplify this move so they asked their "Department of Research and Mechanical Standards" (DoRMS) to design a locomotive that could pull a 3600 ton train unassisted over the 1.14% grade of the Wahsatch. The designers determined that to pull a 3600 ton train, a tractive effort of 135,000 lbs would be needed. Assuming a factor of adhesion of 4.0, the weight on drivers would have to be 4.0 * 135,000 = 540,000 lbs. Photo Gallery Page 14.

Abby felt like she was constantly juggling her life as a primary school teacher and Mum to two little ones. She wanted to work for herself but didn't want the headache of having to set everything up from scratch. She now runs award-winning, fun, creative art and craft classes, after-school clubs, parties and events for all ages in Chichester and Arundel.
This month she is our acclaimed winner of "Franchisee of the Month". Here is her story...
We asked Abby to share why she loved providing creative activities in her community- this is what she said...
Why did you want to run your own business?
"As a teacher I found it very hard to balance home and work when constrained to the set hours of being a teacher. I was always juggling both of them and really felt that I wasn't giving my best to either!"
What attracted you to The Creation Station?
"I wanted to continue to work with children and loved being creative. I found The Creation Station and knew that it would tick all the boxes for me. I didn't want to start from scratch and investing in a franchise has meant that I have all the resources I need - along with support and guidance from a fantastic group of people."
Describe your highlights so far...
"My 'Tiny Treasures' newborn keepsakes sessions are a definite hit! They are always so well received and a huge number of my customers rebook onto future sessions. People are also loving my pre-school classes in Chichester and saying that they are just what they have been looking for - something different to the normal baby groups they go to."
"I get to drop my daughter at school every day and now spend a day during the week enjoying special time between just me and my son."
Don't just take our word for it, look what parents say about Abby & her classes...
How do you feel about the future?
"So excited! I want my business to grow alongside my family's needs and there are so many things I absolutely can't wait to do! I am hoping to get involved in large events in Chichester and Arundel this year and build an awesome team that will help me to take my business forward."

Australian bank ANZ's mobile payment efforts ended by MicroSD concerns
After Australian bank ANZ ended a trial of contactless NFC payments in April, it has announced that it won't be going ahead with the technology in its current form.
The company cited problems with the MicroSD card approach, which involved giving users a card that enabled NFC and contained the user's banking details.
The company didn't go into detail on the problems with MicroSD, but it can be assumed that at least part of the problem lies with the limited support for MicroSD in the most popular smartphones preventing mass consumer adoption.
ANZ hasn't given up on contactless payments altogether, and hopes to find a workable solution in the near future.
It's likely that such solutions won't come around until the vast majority of smartphones support NFC natively. The recently announced Nokia N9 is one example, and there's much speculation that the iPhone 5 will feature the technology.

Former Symetra Tour Player and Rookie of the Year Annie Park notched her first-career LPGA Tour victory Sunday after firing an 8-under-par 63 in the final round of the ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer.
Here's everything you may have missed from the finale at the Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club in New Jersey.
Park Perseveres
When Annie Park turned professional she was supposed to be on the fast track to stardom.
A celebrated amateur and NCAA individual champion while a freshman at USC, Park had all the makings of a star – and she proved that in her first year on the Symetra Tour, winning three times as a rookie en route to winning the Tour's most prestigious honor plus Rookie of the Year honors to boot.
But injuries took hold once she made it to the LPGA Tour, and she had only conditional status this season after struggling in 2017.
Park never gave up.
Park Monday Qualified into the LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship earlier this year and after finishing tied for 18th she got into the reshuffle, meaning she had more opportunities to play versus just what her conditional status had given her at the beginning of the year.
The ShopRite LPGA Classic was just her fifth event of the season.
Park kept fighting and leaned on her support system – which was out in force on Sunday in New Jersey, just a few hours from Long Island, New York, where she grew up – to get back to a place she has long been familiar with: the winner's circle.
"I struggled last year through injuries and just with my game, swing changes because of my injury. It was tough. I think finally kind of getting used to all the traveling and being out on tour. It's definitely changed a lot," she said. "Coming into this year… I've never felt more ready than ever. I was just ready to go out there and play, play my best golf that's yet to come."
Tournament Course Record set (twice)
The ShopRite LPGA Classic has been known for low scores, but none lower than what happened Sunday – both in the morning and the evening.
Sei Young Kim was on fire Saturday afternoon having made five straight birdies at one point. Due to a weather delay, she had to come back Sunday morning to finish her second round, but showed no ill effects.
Kim birdied two of her final three holes to shoot a 10-under-par 61 in the second round, eclipsing the previous tournament course record that had been held by three golfers: Laura Davies and Jimin Kang (2005) and Karine Icher (2016).
Kim had only a few hours to celebrate her achievement, however, as in the final round Sakura Yokomine matched that 61 score.
Yokomine moved from a tie for 20th into the runner-up position thanks to her 10-under par score, and that T-2 result was her best career result on the LPGA Tour.
Kim made one bogey on her card in the second round, while Yokomine was bogey free. She notched eight birdies and an eagle Sunday and was flirting with a record 59 as she came down the stretch in the back nine.
Best finishes of the year
It was a nice week for many golfers who ended up in the top 10 on the leaderboard, as, besides Annie Park, Sakura Yokomine, and Sei Young Kim, six more golfers notched their best finishes of the season.
Sandra Gal finished tied for fifth and said Sunday her result was the culmination of a lot of effort she's put in with her new swing coach.
"I worked hard for the past two months. It doesn't just come suddenly," she said.
Wichanee Meechai, Mariah Stackhouse, and Ashleigh Buhai all finished tied for seventh – cumulatively their best results of the year.
Beatriz Recari and Celine Herbin finished a shot further back and tied for 10th, also their best finishes of the season.
Mother Nature's impact
For the fifth straight week, weather impacted the LPGA Tour.
The second round of the ShopRite LPGA Classic was delayed by two hours and 57 minutes, which caused much of the second round to be completing Sunday morning.
This comes a week after the U.S. Women's Open saw a weather delay during the second round, and just three weeks after the Kingsmill Championship was shortened to 54 holes.
Through it all the staff and maintenance crews at each of the tournament sites have worked extra hard to ensure the course conditions are in the best shape possible for the LPGA Tour's golfers.
The Tour heads to Grand Rapids, Michigan this week where Brooke Henderson defends her title at the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give (and the forecast looks promising).

What to make of Formula E's first foray into Africa? In many ways, the weekend showed how grown up the sport has already become, with mature, measured drives throughout the field. The track didn't flatter, full of the sort of long, long straights which suit a Formula E car as much as Donald Trump's hair and skin tone would suit a holidaying penguin.
There were some dramas in the build up to the race, with a heavy crash from Sam Bird in practice and a ghastly error for Jean-Eric Vergne in the Super Pole session. Formula E rookie Felix Rosenqvist put in a scintillating performance to snatch pole, setting up the opportunity for a new race winner. The race itself, however, was a little short of sparkle. Yes, I know this is a field of prototype machinery, but we have a paddock full of very clever people and varied solutions and yet we finished in familiar fashion, with Sebastien Buemi on the top step of the podium.
Here are my driver ratings for Marrakesh.
Felix Rosenqvist, Mahindra Racing: 9/10
Rosenqvist turned in the stand-out performance of the weekend. The street demon proved his credentials with a balls-to-the-wall display in qualifying to take pole, albeit with a slice of luck after Techeetah's mix-up that left Vergne high and dry. His race pace was solid, with the biggest setback being the strategy. Pushing too early at the start of his second stint cost him later on but energy management will come to the Swede with experience. Don't forget that both of the drivers who finished ahead of him have two entire seasons under their belts, as well as lots more energy management experience in the form of their moonlighting in the WEC series. If the brains at Mahindra can keep their heads and push on with the sort of simulation and modelling they've managed in these first two races, this rookie could be heading for the championship battle come the summer.
Sam Bird, DS Virgin Racing: 8/10
The Brit demonstrated that sort of plucky spirit which once built an empire and ruled the waves. You know. Before everyone packed suitaces and ran away from Europe. Despite suffering a big prang in practice, Bird qualified well for the second race in a row, something which has not always been the case for him in his Formula E career. After Buemi's penalty for a technical infringement, a third place grid spot become a front row position. In the opening stint, Bird was unable to keep Vergne in check, perhaps unsurprising given that JEV has a Renault powertrain behind him. Yet, the wiley Bird managed to save enough energy to get to Lap 17, the magic number for a charge in the second stint. With more energy in his pocket, Bird blasted past Rosenqvist late on and even got close to Buemi on the final lap, making for a very good day at the office and probably as good a result as good be hoped for given the strength of the Renault's at a track such as this.
Sebastien Buemi, Renault e.dams: 8/10
Another impressive display from Buemi after a lukewarm start. His qualifying pace left much to be desired, with the gap to Vergne standing at over three-tenths, yet his race pace was as imperious as ever. Buemi pulled off excellent passes in the early part of the race before the decisive moves on Bird just before the pit window and Rosenqvist in the closing stages. Classy as ever, with two points deducted for his falling well short of the sort of pace in qualifying that we know both he and his car are capable of. Both Bird and Rosenqvist praised Buemi's performance afterwards, saying that he is currently operating at another level to the rest of the paddock. We know he is beatable, and we saw Bird hold Buemi off in the closing stages of the Buenos Aires race last season in a car far less up to the task. Too much to ask at this track, perhaps.
Oliver Turvey, NextEV NIO: 6/10
Turvey was only two-tenths shy of teammate Nelson Piquet in qualifying, yet that ended up being the difference between P3 and P8 on the grid. Turvey struggled to make much of a charge in the race, but kept his head and brought the car home in P7, with a last-lap pass on Vergne securing two additional points for NextEV. The McLaren factory driver and qualified engineer drove a thinking man's drive and did as much as he could with the tools at his disposal.
Nelson Piquet, NextEV NIO: 6/10
Piquet once again proved the one-lap strength of the new NextEV package by reaching Super Pole for the second time in two races, putting his car fourth on the grid (which became third after Buemi's penalty). However, Marrakesh also clearly demonstrated the weakness of the NextEV package in race trim as he struggled to keep the likes of Vergne and Buemi behind him. An issue getting his second car going cost Piquet almost a minute in the pits, ending his hopes of points. The Brazilian eventually crossed the line P16 at the end of a tough day.
Jose Maria Lopez, DS Virgin Racing: 6/10
Pechito had a relatively quiet weekend, which was surprising given his prior experience at Marrakesh (he's a three-time winner in WTCC). Lopez qualified down in P13, seven-tenths of a second off Bird. He was slow in the early part of the race, too; at one point, he was running as low as P15. By mirroring his team mate's strategy, Lopez had more energy in hand for the second stint, allowing him to pass the ailing Stephane Sarrazin and pick up his maiden Formula E point in P10. Steady progress after crashing out in Hong Kong but a long way from where we expect a man of his talent and experience to be. Shown up comprehensively by his team mate twice in a row now; he won't be pleased about that. Neither will the team: for all the resources of DS Performance, after two races they have scored little more than half the points of Mahindra Racing.
Maro Engel, Venturi: 6/10
Another solid outing for the rookie following his debut in Hong Kong. He outpaced the vastly experienced Sarrazin in both qualifying and the race and was looking good for a point or two before an issue getting his second car started brought his race to an early end. A tough break.
Nico Prost, Renault e.dams: 6/10
A tidy weekend from Prost but the man with the famous surname is still firmly in the shadow of his team mate. The Frenchman missed out on Super Pole, perhaps by virtue of being in the first group when the track was its dustiest, but he did end up starting alongside Buemi following the Swiss driver's penalty. Prost couldn't make the same kind of charge through the pack as his team mate, though, only passing two drivers (Daniel Abt and JEV) in the race. Not much to write home about, especially considering the crushing dominance Buemi displayed over Bird and Rosenqvist in the same car. Still, P4 at the flag represents another good haul of points and, after two races, Renault has more than double the points of the teams jointly in second (74 points to 36 each of ABT and Mahindra).
Lucas di Grassi, ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport: 6/10
A Formula E podium without Lucas di Grassi is rarer than I'm A Celebrity featuring a celebrity you've actually heard of. But Marrakesh saw a top three devoid of the dashingly charismatic Brazilian, largely due to a poor qualifying performance. P12 on the grid meant that an admirable (and, frankly, inevitable) fight through the pack was only good enough to come home in P5. By anyone else's standards, that would be a good run. By the standards of a man who came so close to winning the championship just a few months ago? Disappointing.
Daniel Abt, ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport: 6/10
The young German qualified well, lining up P6 after being shuffled out of the Super Pole group thanks to the late flurry of laps from the Q4 runners. From there though, he went backwards, with the only pass he made being on Vergne in the closing stages as the Techeetah racer ran short on energy. He ended up finishing in P6. Solid performance from a racer who has been a bit hit and miss in races thus far, but short on the speed we know he has.
Jean-Eric Vergne, Techeetah: 6/10
Just as in Hong Kong, marking a performance by JEV is tough. His pace through the day was superb, perhaps the strongest in the field. Pole would more than likely have been his had it not been for the team's timing faux pas which denied him the Super Pole shot. No matter how quick you may be, you need to be able to use that pace: you can't when you're sitting in the pit lane looking at a red light. Was that entirely the team's fault or partly the driver's? We'll give the Frenchman the benefit of the doubt this time out, although that mistake added to a speeding infringement in the pit lane suddenly seems a lot more serious. The pit lane speeding could be a number of things but the most obvious is that the driver didn't depress the speed limiter button. Sloppy, if so. To overcome all of these issues and finish in P8 is impressive but frustrating knowing that he has the pace and machinery to be challenging right at the very front and giving us the dancing show we all want to see. Bird, Buemi, JEV and Rosenqvist at the front at the start would have made for a spectacular first lap.
Stephane Sarrazin, Venturi: 5/10
Sarrazin and team mate Engel were neck-and-neck in qualifying, the latter prevailing by just 0.034s to take P14. Sarrazin struggled to keep up in the race, taking his time to get up to the fringe of the top 10, before a stop at the end of Lap 16 vaulted him into the fight for points. However, with those completing longer first stints having more energy in the second half, Sarrazin couldn't keep them back, leaving him P12 at the flag.
Loic Duval, Faraday Future Dragon Racing: 5/10
It was another rough weekend for Dragon as issues left its drivers hamstrung. Duval qualified a lowly P19, 2.9s off the pole time, and then got tangled up in an incident at the start to lose half of his front wing. The Frenchman battled on, moving up to P13 at one stage, only for an issue on his car to cause him to stop on track. Dragon opted to bring him in and focus on getting the fastest lap, something the Audi LMP1 driver achieved to come home with a point and get on the board in season three.
Jerome d'Ambrosio, Faraday Future Dragon Racing: 5/10
Again, a tough weekend for d'Ambrosio. Being 1.6s off the pace in qualifying meant that even with the right strategy, he could only rise as high as P13 come the chequered flag. It's not what we've come to expect from the team and from a two-time Formula E winner. The team is running the same hardware as Mahindra which makes the discrepency even more apparent. With the consistency of both drivers well demonstrated over the past two seasons, fingers must be pointing at the design or engineering personnel.
Nick Heidfeld, Mahindra Racing: 5/10
An underwhelming weekend from Heidfeld. Eight-tenths of a second off his team mate in qualifying led to a P11 start; a relatively quiet display in the race ended up with the veteral Formula E racer ninth at the flag. Rosenqvist proved what was possible from Mahindra in Marrakesh; Heidfeld's experience should have allowed him to match that. It was a big gap in performance and not what we've come to expect from the man who was on the podium last time out.
Adam Carroll, Panasonic Jaguar Racing: 5/10
A weekend where Jaguar needs to look for silver linings. Yes, the team wasn't on the pace with the front-runners again. Yes, Evans had a late-race crash. But the team got all four cars to the line and mileage is the key thing at this stage; it's still a case of learning. How much of the poor performance is down to the team and how much is down to the drivers is very hard to fathom from an outside perspective. Recall JEV's first drive, where he bagged pole. Recall Scott Speed's first drive, where he ended up on the podium. And, too, remember Jacques Villeneuve, who never made it to his third race. The thing is, Aguri managed to be relatively competitively last year in a car with a first gen powertrain but Jag seem to be turning in a dire performance to date in comparison. Formula E can be a cruelly demanding sport of both team and driver; zero points thus far for Jag is the hardest of lessons. Qualified P20, finished the race P14 but at least he finished in front of Ma.
Robin Frijns, MS Amlin Andretti: 5/10
After such an impressive display in Hong Kong, Andretti came back down to earth with a bump in Marrakesh. Frijns was just under a second off the pace in qualifying and never looked likely to pop into the top 10 in the race. P11 at the finish was a disappointing result for the young driver who can be so exciting to watch.
Antonio Felix da Costa, MS Amlin Andretti: 5/10
AFdC had similar struggles to Frijns, qualifying just behind him (they really are inseparable). Any hopes of points dashed due to a technical issue on his car. After completing a full reset, the Portuguese racer went for the fastest lap, only to fall half a second shy of Duval's effort; the end result was a DNF. A weekend to forget for the entire Andretti team.
Mitch Evans, Panasonic Jaguar Racing: 4/10
Much the same as Carroll. Yes, he had a late crash but recovered to finish the race. But we haven't seen much in terms to set hearts racing. The Kiwi finished a lap down and at the very back of the pack. Would either of the Jaguar drivers suddenly be banging it on pole if they were sat in the Mahindra, DSVR or Renault cars (ie is it driver or machinery)? Very hard to call at this point but, on balance, I'd have to say no. The big cat hasn't so much roared into life as stretched slowly in front of the fire before working out whether to have another nap or not. A long way from getting the cream, at this rate.
Ma Qinghua, Techeetah: 4/10
JEV proved what the Techeetah is capable off and Ma has been quick. Yet, for some reason he failed to get a 200kW lap completed in qualifying (we don't yet know why), and he ran last for a stage before running up to P15 at the chequered flag (largely because of others retiring) and finishing behind a Jaguar. A poor display from a driver we think has much more to give (apparently he was faster than JEV in the simulator sessions before Marrakesh).

Keeping customers coming back for more is potentially one of the most important parts of any business, let alone a fabricare laundry service. Having loyal clients means that you'll have guaranteed business that can continue on for some time. How do you make sure that people keep returning, though? Well, here are some tips to help you out in that regard.
Make Your Business Different
This not only will help the return of previous customers but also attract new ones. By offering something through your fabricare laundry service that others in the business do not, you'll help to ensure that customers pick you to clean their clothing.
Offer Good Customer Service
Training your employees to give off an impression of professionality and friendliness can make a huge difference. Even if the facilities themselves are fine, dealing with grumpy or unhelpful workers can really drive people away.
Ensure Property Protection
If something were to go wrong and someone's clothing was to become damaged, it would be your responsibility to cover repair or replacement costs. However, if you're unable to do that in an easy and timely manner, you can probably guess that the customer wouldn't be returning any time soon. Finding a good fabricare laundry insurance program, however, can offer coverage for the costs and let the customer know that if something were to happen again, you'd be able to handle it.

GamerHorizon Takes a Trip Down the PSOne Memory Lane
The original PlayStation. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have any fond memories of that console. With all the blockbuster releases-by-the-minute climate that we have these days, with an overabundance of popular systems, developers, and games, sometimes it's hard to imagine what it was to exist in a time when there was one veritable console king, the original PlayStation.
And the games…dear God, the games. Gran Turismo, Resident Evil 1,2, and 3, Parasite Eve, Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit, Colony Wars, Tekken 3, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII…I could go on and on. There were so many hits on that beautiful system; so may good memories of just hunkering down one evening or night, and enjoying the games for what they were and how they played, with no achievements to urge the progression, Hollywood-type blockbuster cinematics to blister your eyes and ears, or patches or DLC to give developers an excuse to laze around with development, or cut story, gameplay, and length to bleed customers willfully. Simpler times, to be sure, but oh so meaningful.
Well, GamerHorizon.com took that trip down memory lane to reminisce about their top 5 PlayStation One games. The staff gives their opinions about their top 5's, and maybe you should head over there and check out just how far back they can take you down nostalgia lane.

With over 500 books, this section at the Dwarka Dass library in Lajpat Bhavan has original copies of the court proceedings of the Lahore conspiracy case (1928-29) - which led to the trial of freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru.
"A number of such books and documents which were compiled during the freedom struggle have been available in the library since it was established in 1921 in Lahore," librarian G.S. Thakkar told IANS.
"We have put them in the special section to give our readers a real feel of the freedom struggle, as they enter it," he added.
The library, which was named by freedom fighter Lala Lajpat Rai in memory of his friend Dwarka Dass, was re-located from Lahore to Chandigarh in 1966. It is housed in Sector 15.
The freedom section has more than 10 books read by Bhagat Singh in the Central Jail in Lahore, where he was lodged and later hanged along with Rajguru and Sukhdev March 23, 1931, for hatching a conspiracy against the British government.
Records of the library tell about the books, mostly revolutionary literature, that were issued to Bhagat Singh and that he read in Lahore.
Some of the books he took included "Mother" by Maxim Gorky, "God and the State" by Michael Bakunin, "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo and "Career of a Nihilist" by S. Stepniak.
He also got a pamphlet, "Civil War in France" by Karl Marx, issued.
Original copies of the reports on each of the Indian National Congress (INC) sessions held since the party's establishment in 1885 till 1931 (when Bhagat Singh was hanged) are also available in the section.
George Allen's "Jalianwalah Bagh massacre at Amritsar" and Surendra Nath's "India's Struggle for Independence" are among the "most-referred" in the library till date, Thakkar said.
While the former carries real pictures of the massacre spot, the latter is known to be the first book written by an Indian author on freedom struggle.
"Freedom fighters like Sardar Bhagat Singh and Lala Lajpat Rai are the real heroes. I am glad to know that the library offers such unique information relating to them," said Sandeep, a regular visitor.
"Their contributions preserved in these books and documents can, in many ways, arouse a sense of responsibility and accountability among young readers," he asserted.
The library was established by veteran freedom fighter Lala Lajpat Rai in 1921. He had established the Servants of the People Society in 1921 at Lahore, which was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi. In 1928, he led a silent, non-violent protest against the Simon Commission in Lahore (now in Pakistan). In the police cane charge, he was seriously injured and later succumbed to his injuries.
Bhagat Singh, an eyewitness to the event, was very upset and vowed to take revenge from the British.
"When the proceedings of the Lahore conspiracy case had begun in the Lahore court in 1928, police used to check the records of the Lajpat Bhavan library in search of information on Bhagat Singh," Thakkar added.

Need to access your Windows desktop, familiar apps and files on the train, at home or while travelling? Or wish your staff were able to work anywhere, seamlessly using your office programs and file shares?
We've got the solution: a hosted desktop looks and operates exactly like your work desktop, but it's in the cloud so you can access it on pretty much any internet-connected device, anywhere in the world.
IT-Logik's vDeskOnline platform
We've created our own hosted desktop solution, vDeskOnline, which is built on the proven and robust Citrix XenDesktop and Citrix XanApp platforms. We've tailored it, though, to dovetail seamlessly with our other services, and we further customise each implementation to specifically fit our clients' business needs.
Rapid, robust & reliable
We can get you up and running in ten minutes, and our solution is scalable from three users to as many as you need, with guaranteed uninterrupted services and consistent speeds (as long as you have a robust internet connection).
Our hosted desktops are super-fast and secure; we use the latest server technologies, so even on an average wifi connection you'll feel as if you're working on a powerful computer. And your data is encrypted end-to-end, so no-one can intercept it or access it on our servers.
Uptime is nearly 100%, and because your data is dynamically backed up, you can rest assured that your vital information is safe and secure, and available to you 24 hours a day, anywhere.
Device compatibility
Our solution works with most devices, including:
- Desktops & laptops
- Mobile phones
- Tablets
- Thin clients
All you need is an internet connection and a browser and the Citrix app, and you're ready to go.
Why choose a hosted desktop solution?
For example, there's no need to buy a server (costing over £1,000), and engineering call-outs to install and configure it (which could cost more than £1,000 on top). Instead you can be up and running with a VPS from us for £175.00 per month.
We can set you up remotely, if necessary, and logging in is a one-step process; then you're working from your Windows desktop, wherever you are.
As long as you have an internet-connected device that can run a browser and the Citrix App.
The service includes the license costs for Windows and Office, and you can upgrade for free when newer versions come out.
We can solve every problem without any onsite/callout charges, and because you're connected to our servers, we can quickly help you out if you have a question.
Your data is backed up to two other data centres for absolute security and peace of mind, reducing the risk of lost or damaged files to zero.
You'll save space and costs by removing the server from your offices, and you don't have to worry about the cost of maintenance and upgrades.
If you need more processor power, RAM or storage, it can be done within a few minutes, making your solution cost-effective and future-proof.
Hosted desktop is great for home working and office moves, and mitigates the impact of disaster recovery activities: your staff can work remotely just as if they were at their desks, accessing all their apps, including any business-specific ones they need, see Tech info below.
Typical vDeskOnline packages
These prices are based on a company that requires three hosted desktops for three users; the cost may vary depending on your business requirements and options.
* Support is included for any service related requests, but additional support can be given to the end user or company who require a little bit extra.
Tech info
- Achieve workstation performance no matter which device you have. Or dump the desktops altogether and go with our thin clients, which boot up in ten seconds, and use less power and space than a standard PC.
- Totally secure: the connections are made via a 256bit encryption between your local device and your hosted desktop.
- No third-party companies involved. As vDeskOnline is our own solution, you only need to get in touch with us.
- Runs on latest Windows Server & hosted desktops, on the latest hardware, including SSD caching for super-fast read\write speeds.
- Requires minimum bandwidth due to Citrix WAN optimisation, meaning you only require 150kps per connection.
- vDeskOnline works as if it was a regular desktop, and our cloud technology will incorporate all your industry-specific applications, files & any other data. For example:
- CAD/3D design
- Adobe Creative Cloud
- Sage, etc
- Video- and audio-editing
- Custom-developed databases and apps
- Content management systems
What our customers
have to say
IT-Logik are a one stop IT solution, in the same context as the councils refer to themselves as , "One stop shop." Be it hardware, IT support as well as discussing a solution to a problem (best way to handle our expansion), they are very good and professional. They generate a ticket for all issues raised and they advise when the tickets are resolved. I do very much appreciate their speedily response to issues raised.
Chapman Workhouse is a busy, medium sized Architectural Practice based in Central London. We were looking for a company in comparable size to our own as well as being approachable and at a reasonable cost. They are quick to respond, helpful and knowledgeable and relay any information in a way that is easy to understand. The one off monthly fee is very easy to manage and gives you security that you won't have a huge bill if you do have a few problems in one month. They have also on occasion looked into problems or given advice on things that aren't strictly their remit which is immensely helpful. They are approachable and nice guys to boot, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Hampson Williams Architects are a small Architectural Practice who, like most in our profession are heavily dependent on IT support. Although Architects like to think of themselves as truly 'Vitruvian' we realised that IT support is one area in which detailed specialist knowledge is essential. We were recommended IT Logik and would not hesitate to recommend them to others in turn. They have successfully transformed our IT environment over the years offering a very professional and efficient service whilst remaining human and approachable – which is a rare combination indeed in the world of IT. They have also provided flexibility in terms of the support they offer as the nature of our business environment has changed and we look forward to expanding our practice under the IT umbrella of this totally professional outfit.

Two of the main reasons why Happy gift cards have proven to be so popular is because they're frequently available at a discount somewhere and the fact that they can be used at some stores to purchase third party gift cards.
Unfortunately MetaBank has added some unwelcome wording that could make this harder, excluding the purchase of third party gift cards using Happy cards.
Here's some wording from their website (my bolding):
You may use your Card at brick-and-mortar locations in the United States of the merchants whose logos appear on the Card. Online redemption may not be available for all merchants. Each time you use your Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available on your Card by the amount of the transaction. Your Card cannot be: (1) redeemed for its cash value; (2) used to obtain cash or other gift cards in any transaction; (3) used for illegal transactions; (4) used to make foreign transactions; (5) used to pay credit card, charge card, or similar accounts with the merchants; or (6) used for purchases where recurring payments may occur, such as subscriptions, memberships, rentals, etc.
DDG noticed similar wording excluding gift card purchases, although I couldn't find the specific webpage where he found his text.
Either way, this is an unwelcome development. That's because it's been possible to use certain brands of Happy gift cards at Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond and Buy Buy Baby to buy third party gift cards either for personal use or reselling.
There's no indication that this is being hard coded into the registers at those stores so it should still be possible to buy gift cards. If the cashier asks to see the card though, they'd be entitled to decline it as a form of payment. When I used a Happy gift card in a Bed Bath & Beyond store last year, the cashier didn't want to accept it, but their supervisor was happy accepting it provided it could be run as credit rather than as a gift card (it could). I'm not convinced that supervisor would be as amenable nowadays, so be aware of the potential unloading risk if stocking up on these gift cards during sales.

I grew up in San Diego, and Spanish Village has always been a big part of my life. My mom used to model for artists in the village when I was a youngster.
I was a jr. member as a teenager, learning photography, shooting, developing film and printing photos in the Tower Studio (#15). And after graduating from U.C.S.D., and working as a scientist, I started playing with wire. I am self taught, which I think gives my work its originality.
After exhibiting on the patio for years, I now am in studio 31. Come by and see my new studio.

Apr 10, 2016
But God's anger was kindled because he went, and the angel of the Lord took his stand in the way as his adversary. Now he was riding on the donkey, and his two servants were with him. 23And the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road, with a drawn sword in his hand. And the donkey turned aside out of the road and went into the field. And Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the road.
The story of Balaam is the story of rationalization. As more and more money is offered he delays, procrastinates, prays selfish prayers, and then ultimately takes the deal of self-deception. With his mouth he gives eloquent descriptions of the God of Israel and yet with his life he can't fully grasp anything but a self-seeking existence. When we hold Balaam up to ourselves the image is not very pretty. Join us as we attempt to pull the wool off of our eyes that we ourselves placed there. We can't wait to worship and celebrate Christ with you!

If you travel to Louisiana, in the "deep South" of the United States, I recommend the visit of a plantation, especially Laura's plantation, located approximately an hour away, West of New Orleans.
Plantations – and slavery – are key elements of Louisiana's and the South of the United States' History. Laura's Plantation gives an overview of the daily life in a plantation and shows how the local society was socially and economically organized in that time.
Laura's plantation has a specific history among the ten plantations currently open to the public: it has been essentially managed by women, during four generations, between 1804 and 1891. First is Nanette who, contrary to the customs of her time, decided to transfer her plantation to her youngest daughter rather than to her two sons. Later on come Aimée and Emile (the only man of the family to have partly managed the family company), and finally Laura – after whom the plantation is named.
The (compulsory) guided tour takes visitors through the history of the family, with, in the background, the History of Louisiana and the US, from colonial society to slavery abolition, through the strong minded women of the family, the evolution of women's role in society.
The last part of the visit takes place in slaves' cabins and doesn't silence the terrible treatment those women and men suffered. Women and girls were often raped by their "owners". Their "illegitimate" children despite being the daughters and sons of the plantation owners were slaves.
Practical information:
2247 road LA 18, Vacherie, Louisiana – about 1h drive from New Orleans (if you don't have a car, some companies offer visits starting from New Orleans)
Tours every day, between 10:00 am to 4:00 pm in English and in French. Hours here. Tours last 1 hour and 15 minutes approximately.
Prices: 20$ (6$ for kids of 6 to 17 years old)
