Being a high school coach is not an easy task. Having to develop young men or women as both an athlete and student, while dealing with the hardships that come with adolescence is a task that contains no true handbook. The relationship between a high school coach and a student-athlete is crucial. High school is when athletes start to decide if they want to pursue playing at the next level, which makes a coach a very important person in a high school athlete's life.
Some athletes believe the type of communication between coach and athlete is most important when thinking of a good high school coach. The way an athlete talks to a coach is not as controversial because of simple respect that a child should have to an adult. However, a coach's way of communicating, whether it it yelling or one-on-one conversations, could make or break an athlete's mentality.
"A good coach in my opinion gets their players/team to believe in themselves. They are also good communicators. They can coach in such a way that while they may yell and point out problems in someone's game, they also build each player's confidence," said junior cross country runner, soccer, and lacrosse player Jack Johnston.
Other athletes care less about the coach's communication, and more on the coach's ability to spot the skills of each athlete and help them become a better athlete.
"A good coach is defined by how well they identify the individual's strengths and weaknesses, and then how they use that to improve the team as a unit. The coaches have a direct effect on the athletes. I think that they contribute to their attitudes, their skills, and their success, on and off the court," said senior basketball player Jess Huber.
Field hockey Captain senior Seema Sajan would agree that a coach's ability to improve the athlete's skill makes them good. Other than skill, she feels a high school coach has the duty of teaching the common lesson for every athlete that winning isn't everything, but loving the sport is most important.
"A good coach is someone who knows your capabilities and pushes you beyond them. They listen to their players and their opinions, but ultimately do what is best for the team. They emphasize the importance of having fun on the field rather than always focusing on winning. In addition they make sure to do everything they can to prepare the team for their opponent, whether that means scouting the other team or conducting specific drills. A good coach has a big impact on their players. They are a big factor in growing the athlete's passion for the game and making him/her want to work even harder to get better," said Sajan.
As Sajan touched on, a good coach takes a lot of time out of his or her daily life to prepare for practices and competition. A high school coach that dedicates time to his or his student athletes and works to improve the athlete as well as him or herself as a coach are the qualities of an efficient coach, to junior soccer player, and track runner Matt Gain.
"I think a good coach is someone who dedicates more time outside of the practices you see them to help you advance in your sport. [The North Penn Track Coaches] put many hours outside of practice making workouts, researching new ways to do things and better our team and program all the time," said Gain.
For Head Coach Shannon McCracken of the field hockey team, she finds connecting with the athlete's on an emotional level to be most important to her. To her winning isn't everything, but more importantly having a positive atmosphere for the team is most important.
"Truly caring about your players as individuals is extremely important. I want my players to grow into strong women and I truly care about their success in the classroom and in their lives in addition to the playing field. I want my players to have a great experience playing field hockey for North Penn High School. The wins and losses won't be remembered as much as the feeling you get playing the sport you love with your best friends. I try to create an atmosphere that balances hard work, growth, and enjoyment," said Coach McCracken.
Setting goals and working on skills is important to Coach McCracken, but she values the student portion in student-athlete. At the end of the day her main purpose on the field is to develop her team not just into stronger players, but stronger young ladies. Head Coach Jay Jones of the boys track and field team feels similar on the emphasis of student in student athlete, and on the positive atmosphere
"To me high school is not all about winning. High school is about mental and physical developments of the young athletes. Either way, I do believe there are some things that are consistent: being fair, it's very difficult to be fair with young athletes because every situation is different. Although track and field is an individual sport, I think their individual actions have consequences and ramifications for the entire team. We have relays which are huge. We have kids on the team that bring a certain positivity to the team that could be contagious or infectious. A kid with a negative attitude could bring your team down attitude wise. Although you may compete individually, either in an individual event or individually among a relay, it's still well within that team concept. How I handle it, goes back to being fair. I don't treat everybody the same exact way, but if you talk to my athletes I'm extremely consistent with rules. I don't just go with the fastest 4 for a relay, you absolutely earn the privilege to be on a North Penn relay," said Jones.
Being a student athlete in college, Coach Jones puts some of the lessons he learned into consideration while coaching, but also can understand on a personal level the impact that a coach has on a student-athlete.
"As a coach I look for improvement because everybody does not come in with the same work ethic, personally I struggled with work ethic in college just because expectations were not clear to me of what was necessary. I don't think as a high school coach you always realize how your daily activities impact these young men, but they have a huge affect. I can't say they have the same impact on every single one: my high school coaches, I would not be here today if it wasn't for them," said Jones.
Many athletes and coaches would agree that the impact of coaches at the high school level can be great on a physical level, but more importantly an emotional level. If going to a sport becomes a second "job" to athletes, where the "boss" is a worst enemy, athletes lose interest.
"I believe that coaches impact an athlete's attitude towards their sport greatly. Having a hard working and determined coach will help the athlete become more hardworking and try to get better in their sport. Coaches can either make you hate a sport, or love it even more," said Gain.
With high school comes enough stress on a student and with sports on top of academics, some athletes may feel overwhelmed by this. Having a coach that takes the fun away from an extracurricular activity can be the cause of even more stress for the student-athlete.
"For many high school athletes, sports are a good place to make friends and get away from the stress of school. However, unless you have a good coach that thinks for the better of the players, then sports will just add more stress. So it's important to have a good coach so that high school athletes can continue to love the sports they play," said Johnston.

Linacre College has a number of grants available to existing members to help with travel expenses relating to conferences, attending research-related events or to assist with unforeseen financial difficulties.
The Linacre House Trust Committee considers applications on a rolling basis (with the exception of Extracurricular grants and the Academic Activities Fund), so there is no deadline for submission and grants are considered all year round. Applicants should allow two weeks for processing and consideration of a grant by the LHT Committee.
To apply for a grant, please download and complete the relevant form, below, and return to the Academic Administrator (email@example.com):
Covid19 Hardship
For hardship caused by Covid19, please complete the application form found in the link below.
Grant for Conference Travel expenses
Conference Travel Grants are suspended until further notice.
Academic Activities Fund
The Academic Activities Fund (with an annual value of c.£2,500) is used to support student-led, Linacre branded events, such as the initiation and implementation of themed seminar series, conferences, talks, etc., within College.
Applications for this funding are gathered and reviewed termly at the meeting of the Academic Committee. Selection will be made according to the following criteria:
- the strength of the application
- the relevance of the proposed theme
- the likely success and impact of its implementation.
Applications of an inter-disciplinary nature are particularly encouraged.
Activities proposed should be held in College. Only for very exceptional logistical reasons will events located outside of College be approved, and, in such exceptional cases, the majority of participants should be from Linacre, and the academic content be of strong interest to College. Activities should be implemented within 12 months of the funding decision being made.
Applications, in the form of a one page proposal (including a budget break-down), should be sent to the Senior Tutor (email@example.com) no later than 12.00 noon on Monday of fifth week of term.
Writing-Up Bursary
A small number of Writing-Up Bursaries (up to £1000 each) are available annually to DPhil students who have achieved confirmation of status, are in the first or second year beyond fee liability, and are within two terms of their expected date of submission. Download form (word) (pdf).
Fast Track Modern Language Course Fees (formerly OPAL)
Linacre House Trust may reimburse up to 50% of Fast Track modern language course fees upon successful completion of the course. This grant does not include examination fees or the cost of course textbooks. Students may apply once for Language funding for a single Fast Track course during their time at Linacre.
The Frederick Mulder Fund
In addition to more general conference travel grants, Linacre has the Frederick Mulder Fund available to support current Linacre students in specific areas. This fund was established in 2004 by Dr Frederick Mulder, a former Linacre student, and offers travel grants, normally for fieldwork, to students working on social deprivation, in fields such as Social Policy, Anthropology, and Refugee Studies.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to arrange adequate travel insurance for the duration of their trip.
Leeds Hoban Linacre - Huntington Exchange Fellowship
This Exchange Fellowship was set up in 2009, thanks to the generosity of an Old Member and her husband. It enables a Linacre member annually to visit the Huntington Library, California, for a period of 4 weeks (and a similar arrangement exists for a Huntington member); the Fellowship, approximately £1,700 in value, pays for the Exchange Fellow's travel and accommodation. The Huntington Library will help in finding accommodation. On their return to Linacre, in Michaelmas Term, the Exchange Fellow will be expected to give a paper at a Linacre Seminar, related to the area of their research at the Huntington. Details of each year's Exchange Fellowship are published in Michaelmas Term preceding the visit, and are posted on a College noticeboard, and also on Linacre's website.
University level sporting or non-sporting activities
There is a small fund to reimburse part of the expenses of students participating at University level in sporting or non-sporting activities. An email application detailing expenditure, together with a supporting letter/email from the President (or equivalent) of the relevant club that confirms expenditure and membership, should be sent to the Academic Administrator by the end of Week 1 of Hilary Term.

Categories: The Bible
Could you clarify what it means when verbs are in the aorist? How does that affect the meaning?
For example: In the section on anger in Matthew 5, you've said the verbs are in the aorist, meaning once: "So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift."
Is it because the verbs (I'm assuming go, leave, remember) are in the aorist, it means that we're supposed to remember, leave, and go reconcile only one time, or that it's in the present so we have to leave immediately, or just that it just happens once?
Without making things overly complicated, it helps to know just a little bit about the Greek language. When people are telling a story or writing in Greek, they have two main choices for putting events into the past tense. They can put the verb in the aorist tense or the imperfect tense.
The best way to understand the first option is that it's a one-time thing. It is like taking a snapshot. Once that film has been exposed, modern cameras automatically advance to the next frame. Once and that is it. Even in the days of the burst photo where photos can be taken continuously, people aren't ever going to get the exact picture over and over again.
The aorist tense can be used to describe multiple steps in a story. It can refer to events that have happened in the past or just events in general. It can also refer to future events. The important thing to remember is that these actions are happening once; they are not repeated actions.
On the other hand, if Greek writers put a verb in the imperfect tense, it is something that is going on and on and on. It's happening over and over again. It is describing continuous action. It is the photographer who takes multiple pictures—picture after picture.
English translations have no way of alerting us to the form of the Greek word other than context. For example: At the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount it says Jesus "began to speak, and taught them." The word "taught" is in the imperfect. Many people automatically think of the sermon as a one-time thing, as one moment in time. They think that it happened one afternoon while Jesus was on a mountain. That is probably not the case. This sermon is probably a compilation of words that Jesus said to his disciples over and over again. The disciples heard teachings like this as long as they were with him. Someone wrote it down once, but this is teaching that went on all the time.
In the section on anger in Matthew 5:21-26, Jesus is talking about resolving the issues that have caused the anger. In order to stress how important this is, he says, "When you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift." Because the words "remember, leave, and go" are in the aorist, they mean STOP what you're doing. The minute you remember, leave whatever you're doing, and go fix the situation. Here, the aorist signifies a new pattern of behavior, a new beginning.
The shocking value of his words lies in knowing that people felt their duty to God was higher than any duty to another human. His words, then, are highly unorthodox. Jesus is saying that we can't possibly talk with God sincerely and openly if we can't talk to our brother. It actually means our human relationships affect our relationship with God. We are to serve God by serving others. And after we have done this, then we are to go back and worship. He doesn't say that it takes the place of worshipping God, but now we can worship sincerely. Interestingly, worship is in the indicative, implying continuous action. So we are to worship God over and over, all the time.
It should be noted that the aorist tense does not mean those actions cannot be performed again. If we are angry and remember another unresolved conflict, we should go again to resolve it. In fact, this action might happen every week (or daily) for a while. But the aorist suggests it is a simple one-time event with positive results.

Brands Have Little Bearing on Children's Food Choices
Do brands have a role in children's food preferences?
A recent study in the journal Appetite says kids who have their own money to spend are
least motivated by brands. The inclination is more towards snacks of their
liking, more often bordering on the unhealthy. Other kids who had plenty of
money at their disposal were careful while buying brands which charged more, but sold unhealthy stuff. Such choices
indirectly helped them to buy healthy stuff, said the study. Parental guidance,
schools and food manufacturers influence children. Awareness of nutrient-poor
snacks hold back kids from buying such products. But the study has not been able
to conclusively say what exactly influences a child to spend his own money on a
particular snack food.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny."
Our annual remembrance of civil rights on Martin Luther King Jr. Day is celebrated almost by rote now, in ways big and small. There are corporate events where soul food makes a once-annual appearance, community events long on entertainment and short on reflection.
I find it more compelling to observe this national holiday the day before, in the intimacy of a small group that coalesces at sunrise almost by word on mouth at the Minneapolis park named after King. While crows heckle from nearby oaks, a circle of some 15 souls reads King's masterpiece person by person.
No, not that masterpiece. His best-known speech, enunciating King's dream for America and widely considered a rhetorical masterpiece, came at the 1963 March on Washington. That was a soaring oration delivered for a public occasion and has echoed through the decades.
This masterpiece is the quieter but no less intense letter that King composed four months earlier after he and other clergy were arrested on a Good Friday. They had marched in defiance of a judicial injunction against demonstrations to further their nonviolent campaign against racial segregation in Birmingham, Alabama.
"Our hopes had been blasted, and the shadow of deep disappointment settled upon us."
This letter was begun on the margins of newspapers, the only paper King initially had in jail, and later continued on legal pads his attorneys were permitted to leave with him. Given his location, it is known as King's "Letter From a Birmingham Jail."
He addressed this missive to eight white local clergy who had been critical of King for employing marches and sit-ins to confront injustice. King's letter is a point-by-point rebuttal to their call for gradualism. Although they were his immediate audience, ultimately the letter was intended for a larger one. It served as a closely reasoned argument for the necessity of the civil rights movement in that time and that place.
"Freedom is never given voluntarily by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."
It addresses why local civil rights leaders invited King as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to Birmingham, the timing of the marches, their purpose as a tool of nonviolent direct action and his disappointment in white moderates.
But the crux of the letter articulates the moral case for the cause. King's incarceration allowed him time to reflect deeply and marshal arguments that drew on German philosopher-theologians Tillich and Buber, on Saints Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, on ancient Jewish refuseniks Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. He weaves a deep and sweeping brief for action that transcends his particular place and time by defining why immoral laws need be challenged.
"A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. … An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself."
Ultimately, it is this clarion trumpet for morality that I find so compelling, coupled with the fellowship of the readers.
Some of those attending are members of Judson Baptist Church, whose minister G. Travis Norwell originated the reading. Those attending range from grade-schoolers in snow pants to grandparents in mufflers. A curious fact has been that almost all participants are white, at a park that also serves plenty of black and brown residents.
Perhaps it was the competition. There were at least three other King-related events that weekend within about a mile of the park. Perhaps it was the almost word-of-mouth publicity. Perhaps it was the early hour and the reliably cold January weather. But I found it notable that attendance wasn't greater at a site where there's an active group dedicated to preserving the park as a shrine to King.
"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."
It was also notable the next day to hear a public radio announcer remark that this year King would have turned 88. That assumes that King still would be alive, absent his assassination at age 39. The life expectancy for black men born at the same time as King was a mere 48.5 years.
Perhaps King would have beaten those odds. He was born into a family of relative privilege and maintained a middle-class life. Perhaps that would have shielded him from heart disease, which takes more than a year off black male life expectancy compared to whites males, or cancer, which shaves black lives by almost the same margin.
Instead he fell to homicide, another health scourge among black males. According to similar federal statistics, homicide takes almost a year off their life expectancy compared to their white counterparts.
"One day the South will recognize its real heroes."
As the reading proceeded, the rising sun peeked through openings in the park's iconic "Freedom Form II" sculpture. It flooded the circle of readers and the world encircling them with the promise of another day, a day in which to atone for an ugly past and to resolve for a more equitable future. You may join them next Jan. 14.

"SXSW is easy to get around!" said no one ever. The streets are jam packed, the music clashes, and everywhere you turn is yet another line that will make you want to tear your hair out.
With this in mind, I knew I had to hop on a free ride any chance I could. Kendo UI is hosting a TechCab – a play on HBO's "Taxicab Confessions." Instead of the 10 uncomfortable minutes you sit in a quiet cab, host Irina Slutsky will ask you to confess a technological sin for a free ride. It was raining on our first day in Austin, and our team really needed to get away from the downtown madness, so we gave Irina a tweet and a few minutes later, there she was there in an orange car.
When you first hop in the cab, you are greeted to signs alerting that you are being recorded. Get out now while you can if you're camera shy! Her fifth year running the SXSW TechCab, Irina's heard it all from her passengers: Drunk confessions, guilty admissions … a guy who had just gotten on the cab before us had just admitted to hacking a website, she says.
"For many people, the TechCab is a nice place to sit down and have a chat," she says. Especially from the noise, entering the cab felt like a peaceful getaway from the outside world. There, you felt like you had to release some pressure and unload a confession onto Irina. Well, you had to, technically. What do you think paid for the cab?
"I used to go into my parents' cameras and delete photos of me and my sisters," Social Media editor Molly McHugh says. Gulp. "No one needs to see pictures of me dressed as Annie!"
Nonjudgmental, Irina nods and says it's a fine confession. She feels bad for Molly's parents and their memory keepsake, but no penance here. "What about you, Natt?"
This is being recorded. This is probably going to be published. People who knew me will hate me for this, but here goes.
"When I want to flake out of meeting up with people, I lie and say I have other plans and fake Foursquare check into places to make it seem like I was elsewhere," I confess. I'm sorry guys, sometimes a girl just needs a night in with herself! Even Molly seemed like she was judging me, but Irina seemed excited. "Oh, that's a good one!" she says as I wonder if she'll share this story anonymously with her next passengers.
At last we arrive at our destination and Irina lets us off easy. After all, she'll be running all day and night until Sunday night (March 10), so she'll have plenty more riders who are sure to have made worst ways with technology.
As for me, the confession felt good. But friends who've made it to this last line of the article will definitely delete me off Foursquare.

Intercultural competence is an asset in the labour market and gaining international experience already as a student will open you up opportunities in the future.
Internationalisation is an essential part of all students' everyday-life in the globalising world. Everyone has to be able to operate in the internationalising worklife and society. This will require language skills, intercultural competence, openness, adaptability and new ways to see the world and home.
The aim of university education is to prepare you for your future, so it really pays off to think about internationalising yourself. The student union supports you to a more international study experience. Familiarize yourself with the opportunities the university and the student union offer.
Internationality is part of the everyday student life. There are almost a thousand foreign degree students and exchange students studying at the University of Oulu, creating an international atmosphere to the campuses.
Even in the degree programs that are named in Finnish, its quite likely that at least some of the teaching will occur in some other language, usually in English. Working together with students from different cultures, for example in team exercises, offers you great opportunities to learn from different cultures, practice your language skills and get new friends and create new networks. It might be a bit different to work with students from different backgrounds but, at the same time, it can be really instructive and useful, and it prepares you for the working life. You might learn something new about yourself as well!
The University of Oulu offers different kind of ways for you to become an international graduate. This page introduces a few alternative ways in which you can widen your expertise and bring diversity to your degree.
Student exchange and international master's programmes
The University of Oulu provides international master's degree programs in English, a few joint-degree programs with partner universities and also international research opportunities and doctoral education. Students can also choose between various exchange programs from around the world for a chance to broaden the horizon. For more information, please see the University web page, visit your faculty's web page, or contact your departments international coordinator. To find out more about the international masters degree programmes, please see www.oulu.fi/degree. In case you have difficulties getting credits for your courses or you cant get the help you need from the University, you can contact our international officer.
Lost in translation?
The Languages and Communication unit of the Extension School at the University of Oulu offers courses on many foreign languages ranging from the European tongues to Chinese. The Languages and Communication unit organizes the language courses specific to each discipline, and additionally, the unit offers teaching in some rarer languages, in oral, written and scientific communication, and Finnish language courses for foreigners.
Hit the road!
We strongly recommend a student exchange period or an internship abroad to everyone. The length of the exchange period can vary between three and twelve months. You can even have more than one study abroad period, or instead of studying, you can do an international internship. An internship abroad is a good way to combine becoming international and acquiring work experience. There are several exchange programs to choose from, or you can become a free-mover and arrange a new exchange destination for yourself. There are exchange destinations available from all corners of the world.
To make the most out of your stay abroad, its best to plan your exchange studies and your internship in advance. Planning ahead is essential especially when you wish to get credits and incorporate the studies or the internship into your degree at home. You should plan your exchange or internship together with your Personal Study Plan (PSP) tutor, your teachers and the exchange coordinator of your faculty. For more information on grants, exchange destinations and other aspects concerning your exchange or internship period, please visit the Universitys web page or contact the international coordinators.
There are various ways to get involved in international circles and find new friends from abroad. On the university campus you can find international activities in the form of societies, events, dinners and parties. Theres something for everyone. You can
- participate in the Erasmus Student Network activities and events
- take charge of your own societys or guilds international activity
- take part in The Cafe Lingua meetings or the Tandem study exchange program and practice your language skills
- become a student tutor (or kummi in Finnish) to new foreign students
- take part in the events and activities of the Network of International Students in Oulu organization (NISO)

Petition Against ARA Amino Leadership
0 haben unterschrieben. Nächstes Ziel: 200.
ARMY Amino (ARA) was created for the purpose to bring BTS fans together and post about their shared love for that band. It is a place for artists to share their fan art and writers to share their stories and creative writing.
Unfortunately the community is riddled with drama and uncommunicative leaders. The current leaders, DizzyTango and WaffleCreamCone, have promised change when they took over leadership, yet nothing has change so far. There is barely any communication between leaders and the community, leaders seem to be unavailable a lot and are overall not visible within the community at all.
There is no transparancy whatsoever, neither about any decision regarding the community itself nor about individual decisions regarding specific users. Many amazing users have already left due to this fact, and many more are frustrated to a point they are currently considering leaving hours upon hours of effort they put into the community behind.
People are staying mostly because of other users they like, despite the leadership and not because of it. People tolarate the leadership because there seems to be no option of having an open discussion about these issues on ARA Amino itself. This has to change. ARA has to change before all quality content disappears and what remains are floods of new users who won't stay for long.
Too add insult to injury, current leadership is not enforcing their own guidelines equally, often featuring posts that are clearly in violation. Communication between the team itself also seems lacking due to constant double features, inconsistent information being given out and unaivailablity of any team member at times. Reasonable and respectful concern has been consistently ignored, which is why we believe the current leadership is not fit to sucessfully lead a community as large as ARA Amino. This is not an attack on them as people, but a serious issue with their leadership abilities.
We ask Team Amino to step in find someone who is experienced the demands of good and fair leadership in order to help this community to thrive again.

Consequently, the material resists recrystallisation far beyond its complete densification temperature and retains higher hardness and yield strength at the expense of ductility.

Employee Self-Service
Soldevila & Associates offers two self-service applications - Benefits Central for Human Resource managers and Employee Center for Employee Self-Service. For information on the former, please visit our portals page. Employee Center, gives employees immediate access to all their personal HR, benefits, and payroll information via the web. The simplicity drastically reduces the call volume to the human resources department and lets HR focus on more strategic issues.
Employee turnover comes with costs - recruiting costs, training costs and the loss in employee productivity. Building employee satisfaction helps you to minimize these.
One of the best ways to enhance employee longevity is to provide your employees with convenient, Web-based, self service access, personalized support and visibility to benefits information along with the ability to manage their own benefits, 24/7.
With the MyBenefitsandHR self-service platform employees can do all of the following:
- Make online inquiries and receive responses concerning their benefits, company policies and other employment-related information
- Select and change benefit elections whether they're at work or at home online
- Access benefit plan comparisons
- Initiate life event changes and update other personal information
- Generate a comprehensive benefits enrollment summary that reflects their current benefit elections - and their value
- Participate with greater convenience in benefit program open enrollments
- Access a comprehensive benefits statement - which gives a true picture of an employees total compensation.
When employees are more informed about their benefits and other company information, the more satisfied they are with the value of those benefits and their role within the organization. Consequently, as employee satisfaction goes up, turnover rates go down.
Accurate online benefits enrollment
The amount of paperwork generated in traditional benefits enrollment is staggering. Employee Center allows you to conduct open enrollment online, thus eliminating the cumbersome and old inaccurate paper process.
Online leave requests ensure leave is taken and accounted for
Using EC, employees can easily determine their vacation availability (from any point-in-time) and request leave online. With online leave:
- Managers receive an email from their employees when they request time off.
- Managers can easily see who will be in or out of work at any given time. This makes it easy for to approve/reject leave requests accordingly.
Innovative employee communication
Employee Ticket Center (ETC) opens up lines of communication between HR and employees. The ETC provides HR administrators with a tool to quickly and efficiently communicate with individuals or groups of employees via emails and letters in the form of a mail/e-mail process. All correspondence is recorded in an employee's record for easy reference.
Easy to install and extremely secure
Security is of vital importance to EC and privacy of the information stored in the database is maintained at all times. EC is based on the latest technologies which is 128 bit encrypted and backed up every 3 hours on one server and every 24 hours on a seperate server in another location. This protects the potential of complete loss of data.

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort met with his business associate Konstantin Kilimnik, who has been linked to a Russian intelligence agency by Robert Mueller, in early 2017, Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni told TPM Tuesday evening. The statement came after a court filing earlier in the day suggested the meeting took place while Manafort worked for the Trump campaign.
Maloni wrote in an email that the meeting took place "after the campaign" in "Jan or Feb 2017."
Attorneys for Manafort revealed the Madrid trip earlier today in a court submission that they failed to properly redact. The apparent error showed that special counsel prosecutors have accused Manafort of lying about sharing the campaign data, and that he only "acknowledged" the Madrid meeting after prosecutors showed him that they knew Kilimnik was in the Spanish capital the same day.
That document appeared to place the Madrid meeting during Manafort's time as Trump campaign chair. In a section following the mention of the Madrid meeting, Manafort's lawyers wrote that "these occurrences happened during a period when Mr. Manafort was managing a U.S. presidential campaign and had countless meetings, email communications, and other interactions with many different individuals, and traveled frequently."
Other filings appear to corroborate that information, including an Oct. 2017 submission from Mueller stating that Manafort had travelled to "Dubai, Cancun, Panama City, Havana, Shanghai, Madrid, Tokyo, and Grand Cayman Island" in the preceding year.
The revelations about the Madrid trip and other interactions with Kilimnik came in a filing from Manafort's lawyers pushing back on claims from the Mueller team that Manafort broke his plea agreement by lying to investigators.
Kilimnik told Radio Free Europe in February 2017 that he was pitching his own peace plan for Ukraine, involving the local political party with which he was working.

In April Google officially announced they were integrating loading time into their algorithm. As they put it, "speeding up websites is important — not just to site owners, but to all Internet users. Faster sites create happy users and we've seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there."
There are plenty of reasons a website could slow down such as large images, too many Flash files, video the list can go on and on. With that being said, there are plenty of tools and tactics to use to improve loading time for your clients webpage.
"Human beings, by change renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise they harden." And, there is no doubt to it. They try and find something or the other to refresh themselves.
Once someone said, "Art is the river that runs through my life. I drink from it as often as I can do it to refresh myself." Similar is the case with the redesigning of the website. Most of the designers love to jump if they get a chance to reconsider and redesign their work. But who says that redesigning is not a daunting task? Why is it not something like churning a magic wand?
Throughout history, great designers always found new ways to show their creativity to express themselves and create new trends and techniques to remark their work apart from the rest of the crowd. Photo manipulation is an art in itself, that requires a skill and precision as we know, it is one of the most creative artforms to come out of the digital age.
This presentation shows an amazing collection of photo manipulation art related to nature, photography, objects, illustrations, HDR as well as some abstract and fantasy-related concepts. Hopefully, everybody will find something interesting to ignite their creativity.

Perfect Gift: Super Blanky Hits Target Shelves
A few years ago I saw this awesome product made by local mom, Karen Bonnici, on television. I contacted her and asked if we could feature her product on Metro Detroit Mommy. You can see our review here: http://blog.metrodetroitmommy.com/2014/05/super-blanky-giveaway-and-info.html
The biggest thing I love about this product is that Karen has solved a huge safety issue with capes. The innovative concept that turns a regular blanket into a superhero cape is the slide on sleeves, which means the risk from choking from a string around the neck is eliminated.
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE is that this cape also doubles as a blanket. My girls love their Super Blankys, they wear them around the house pretending to save the world, cuddle and snuggle with them on the couch, and take them to bed and use them for a blanket.
Finally, I love that Super Blanky and Target have teamed up to create beautiful themed products. With characters from Trolls, My Little Pony, Batman, EmojiNation, Trolls, Paw Patrol and so much more.
Hurry, quick, they are on sale at Target through 11/28 {on sale for $10.49, regular price $14.99}
EmojiNation Super Blanky
Jurassic World Super Blanky
DC Comics Batman Super Blanky
Despicable Me Fluffy Unicorn Super Blanky
PJ Masks Catboy Super Blanky
My Little Pony Twilight Sparkle Super Blanky
Trolls Poppy Super Blanky
Paw Patrol Chase Super Blanky
Paw Patrol Skye Super Blanky
A Super Blanky would make a fantastic gift for children who love to dress up. Which style is your favorite?

Aging. It is inevitable and challenging in any form. Many of you are aware that Aspen is on the decline. While she is still mostly smiling and enjoying her day's life has most decidedly slowed down. Way down. Daily doses of Dasuquin with MSM and Rimadyl coupled with twice-monthly Adequan injections are keeping our baby girl as comfortable as possible.
Visitors to camp are constantly surprised by her age. Her face is still puppy-like and engaged…and then they see her stiff, arthritic gate.
For the moment we focus on the now. We appreciate each and every smile. Each kiss. Many mornings she wakes up early and noses me asking to be helped on the bed to cuddle.
We appreciate each walk on the beach and each game of rollerball, an old dog's answer to fetch when the days of fetch are long gone.
As we move into a new year and a new decade the tears are close but our hearts are full enjoying each and every moment. .Aspen's spirit is still strong and this short photo monologue perfectly shows off her gorgeous looks and sweet personality.
2020 is sure to bring change. But for now, we spend our days spoiling and catering to our sweet perfect princess.

Humidity, sunlight, water, and most of all, time, are just some of the culprits in the damage most printed photographs will endure. However these memories of loved ones do not need to be thrown away or thought to be unrepairable. A few layers in the digital world can bring it back for your clients.
A few years ago when the most destructive storm of 2012, hurricane Sandy, wrecked the northeast coast, a few of my closest friends called me up to ask if there was any way to repair some old photographs that were damaged in the storm leading back to the early 1900s. This project took many weeks to accomplish due to the conditions they were in. So when my long term client recently asked me to restore an image that was badly torn simply from time, it was a few quick edits compared to the damage of water from the super storm.
Getting It Right
While there are many ways to repair an old photograph in film form, either digital or simply repairing the physical image itself, a digital reproduction was requested so she could print multiple times to surprise her family of a relatives that past away. First the image had to be puzzled together as tight as it could be for less post work in the end. The image came to me with blue tape holding it in place. More damage would have been done by pulling it apart from the tape and some pieces were missing as well. I laid the image on a flat surface and shot it from above to capture the replica of the photograph. Then the fun began.
Healing and Cloning
For the majority of images, the healing brush is the first go-to tool if possible. Specs of white, torn lines, or even the blue masking tape were easily fixed with this tool. I took care not to get to close to the details of her dress, otherwise Photoshop would take into consideration those tiny buttons and attempt to remove those as well.
The finer details are best left for the clone tool for a more precise line. The clone used the above buttons to create what was lost or damaged with the tape.
The tricky part comes when having to recreate a body part or wardrobe item. The tape was covering her shoe and calf so taking the time to get in very close to clone the shading of the shoes is all about patience.
Using low opacity and flow was the best option for gradually building up the shoe and legs on its own layer. It is easier to build on than take off.
Extending to the Edges
While the image was oval, and one printed version would become oval again, she requested a few smaller gift prints. In this case I needed to extend the edges a bit to a rectangle ratio for 8x12-inch prints. For this I first cleaned up the torn edges prior to creating a new ratio. Once the edges were fixed, I used the crop tool to set my boundaries for the ratio. The clone tool can be used for extending the edges or using the marque tool to stretch, however that can be tricky. Small increments are needed as to not pull the colors too far and either create stretching or an unwanted line.
Once the major details were set, attention to the minor details was in order for tiny dust specs that were missed, or cloning that left any indication that postproduction was made. This portion of the clean up is important prior to sending to the printer. You do not want to get a framed canvas back and notice the small specs in the image. I prefer to work dodge and burn techniques at the end after all the healing of the image is complete. Using an inverted curves layer to paint on the dodge-and-burn effects is more effective than applying it to the image as a whole.
Master Print Maker Jonathan Penney supplied the oval canvas frame and gave it the perfect touch for the classic look of the image.
In the end the client was overwhelmed how it turned out and that she could once again hang this relative's image on the wall. Restoring old images can be time consuming, it can try your patience and your technique, but the satisfaction of bringing back to life a piece of your client's history is worth every moment.

This is amazing. Going to have to try it
Very nice article. I have some family photos from the late 1800's and early 1900's I can use this on.

Colorado Anti Gun Bills Continue to Move Forward, Could Put CO on Par With CA, NY
Guns Save Lives is not supported by ads and is ran as an independent project. If you support this project please consider supporting us on Patreon. Registration takes just a moment and even $1 is a massive help in continuing our work. Thank you so much.
Colorado contines to allow multiple anti gun bills to move through its legislative process.
Several bills are on the verge of being signed into law and at least a couple were killed.
Here is the quick status of several of the bills (via TheBlaze.com):
• Online gun certification: Senate Bill 195, banning online certification for concealed carry permits and requiring people to attend classes in person — advances in Senate
• Liability for "assault"-style weapons: Senate Bill 196, holding manufacturers and sellers of semiautomatic weapons liable for violence committed with them — killed by sponsor
• Gun ban for domestic abusers: Senate Bill 197, banning certain domestic violence abusers from owning guns — advances in Senate
• Limits on high-capacity ammunition: House Bill 1224, limiting gun ammunition magazines to 15 rounds but amended to not outlaw the "standard shotgun" — advances in Senate
• Gun ban on college campuses: House Bill 1226, banning concealed weapons on college campuses — killed by sponsor
• Background check fee: House Bill 1228, requiring gun buyers to pay for their own background checks — advances in Senate
• Universal background checks: House Bill 1229, requiring background checks for all gun transfers, including private sales — advances in Senate
Colorado is poised to pass some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, which could put the states gun rights on par with anti gun states like CA and NY.
Joe Biden allegedly used his personal influence to get more Colorado state Democrats to support the bills.

New Choctaw Home Has Special Meaning for a Family in Cameron
Photos by Deidre K. Elrod / Choctaw Nation
New homeowner Brittany Taylor does the honors with the scissors. Chief Gary Batton, Assistant Chief Jack Austin Jr., and District 4 Tribal Councilman Delton Cox join in the ribbon cutting ceremony for 10 new homes in Cameron on Friday. The construction project is through the Housing Authority of the Choctaw Nation's LEAP program.
Choctaw Nation tribal officials and family members congratulate Brittany Taylor as she receives the keys to her new home Friday, August 10 in Cameron.
CAMERON, Okla. – One beautiful new brick home being built in Cameron, a town of 115 households, according to the U.S. Census, would be noticed. But, on Friday, August 10, the Choctaw Nation Housing Authority opened 10. This called for a ribbon cutting ceremony, tours to be conducted and family photos in front of their new homes.
As Chief Gary Batton spoke about the efforts being made by the Tribal Council to improve the quality of life of tribal members, he said "At the end of the day, it's all about helping tribal members… helping people to become homeowners. Among the new homeowners, today is a single mother with two children who's been through bankruptcy."
For that homeowner, Brittany Taylor, being handed the keys to her new front door is a milestone of the Choctaw Spirit.
"I turned 33 yesterday," Taylor said. But there has hardly been time to sit down and celebrate. "I'm moving into my new home," she said. She has a lot to do before she gets back to her three jobs. She has been renting for the past three years in nearby Pocola.
It's not been easy for the single mother. She had to drop out of college and had a financial set back after a divorce. "My car was even repo-ed," she said.
Still, the mother of two, ages 8 and 10, saw there were those who needed help as much as she did. Taylor had the heart to become a foster parent to three more children in need of a home, all under age five. The Native youth were under the care of the State of Oklahoma. She took care of them until they could be returned to their own families. While there are no additional children with her at this time, she knows there will be more in her future.
A firm believer in community service, Taylor volunteered three years with Paint the Park Pink. The breast cancer awareness drive is Fort Smith, Arkansas's largest fundraiser.
Taylor also has been employed full time at iHeartRadio in Fort Smith as a sales assistant for five years. "I've taken on extra duties essentially as office manager, ordering supplies and other things," she said. She also works two part-time jobs, at car sales and landscaping businesses. The commute from home to work is going to be about a half-hour each day. "It's a big step," she said, "But, it's going to be worth it, owning such a nice home."
"I've had to keep my focus on making things better for my family," she said. It's an effort that is paying off. Except for her home, Taylor will be debt free in November of this year.
The children, staying with other family members during the move, did not know about the new place in Cameron that their mom had managed to acquire. Taylor said, "They would be returning to their new home on my little girl's birthday."
As the dedication got underway, District 4 Choctaw Singers performed traditional hymns in the Choctaw language and officials were introduced, including municipal and Le Flore County officials, the Choctaw Nation Tribal Council and members of the Housing Authority of the Choctaw Nation. Choctaw elders mingled with townspeople of all ages who were in attendance.
"This is what it's all about," said Chief Batton, "Helping our Choctaw families."
The Cameron houses are located on Barnes and Ward streets. The addition features 10 houses: one is a four bedroom, two baths and nine are three bedrooms, two baths, ranging from 1,422 to 1,553 square feet. All have two-car garages and sodded lawns. The all-electric residences come equipped with new appliances, central heat-and-air, and safety features. Each district of the Choctaw Nation is slated to receive 10 LEAP houses this year.
The stated mission of the new LEAP program is "to build strong families and vibrant neighborhoods through quality affordable housing and strengthened financial stability for those we serve." Families with credit issues are assisted to become mortgage ready and lender qualified over time by receiving credit counseling services.
Director of the LEAP program is Mandi Young, who can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 800-235-3087.

"A car T-boned me in my restored, immaculate old dodge pickup which just had a fresh paint job. The insurance company considered my truck a total and i sustained a minor injury to my shoulder. It was just my luck that I drew the most stubborn insurance adjuster that would not budge! They weren't going to give me much for my truck and were avoiding the doctor bills. That's when I contacted Steve. He went right to battle for me and got things turned around to my favor. Kudos to his staff Jessie. She kept me informed with appointments and issues also. No hidden details gets passed her too! Thanks for sticking up for me!!!"
"Steve has gone above and beyond for me and my family. It's rare to work with an attorney that has a conscious these days and Steve has definitely proven that he truly cares about people and not just the bottom line. We are truly blessed to have Steve as a part of our family."
"I was in a car accident last January and started receiving medical bills from the hospital shorty after that. I contacted Steve's office and immediately he and his staff went to work on my behalf. He explained to me how the process would work and kept me in the loop every step of the way. He said we would hear back from the insurance company in about one month. One week later, Steve had my case settled and I received three times the amount of money that I was expecting. I highly recommend Steve and his staff and am so grateful he's my attorney. He's hardworking and honest and gets the job done."
"Best PI attorney In San Luis and Fresno, I have worked with Steven for several years and admire his drive and attention to detail. I highly recommend him if you are in need of an aggressive and knowledgeable attorney. I recommend Steven to all my friends and family."
"I was in contact with Steve from the very first day of the accident. He and his staff were very supportive and helpful throughout every step of the process. The results were far beyond my expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again and recommend Steve to anyone needing a personal injury attorney."

Traveller who saw many worlds
Those who knew Rabindra Seth call him the 'forever man', writes Namita Bhandare.india Updated: Feb 01, 2007, 03:55 IST
Those who knew him — and that list includes anybody even tangentially associated with the travel trade — call him the 'forever man'. Rabindra Seth, who died on Tuesday at 81 had been there, done that. He was everywhere: writing stories for travel supplements, ploughing through research for trade documents and setting off to far-flung places.
"His energy was remarkable," said Habib Rehman, executive director, ITC Ltd. "He was willing to share responsibility and would not say no to anything."
That willingness to extend a helping hand stretched out almost universally — even to those much younger. "He was much senior to me, but he would encourage me by saying he was collecting all my articles," said Ravi Teja Sharma, a travel writer with Business Standard.
At Seth's funeral on Wednesday morning, the huge turnout reflected the goodwill he had generated. From senior editors to heavyweights in the travel and hospitality industry, they were all there, mourning the 'end of an era'.
Seth was born in Peshawar in 1926. He moved to Delhi shortly before Independence to take up a job with the All India Radio. It was an assignment that would prove to be fortuitous in more ways than one. Sent to Peshawar to cover the trauma of Partition, Seth used the opportunity to evacuate his family.
Not many people are aware that Seth also had a brief stint with the army, as a public relations officer during India's peace-keeping operations in Congo. He joined the state-run India Tourism Development Corporation later as vice-president (public relations). Following his retirement, the Taj group snapped him up as a consultant, and he eventually ended up with the ITC group in the late seventies.
His friendships were established early on. Habib Rehman recalls how in 1976, Seth had taken a delegation of tour operators to Aurangabad. The Emergency was on, and ITDC hotels had a strict 'no liquor' policy. Rehman, who was working then with a private hotel in Aurangabad, came to the rescue by hosting a dinner, with drinks, and the situation was saved.
"He would collect cards at parties he attended," said Salma Hussain, a food consultant and close friend for close to 40 years. "The next day, he would call the person with whom he had exchanged cards and strike a personal rapport."
Seth was able to straddle the conflicting worlds of PR and journalism with ease. That's because "there was no personal agenda to his writing," said Inder Sharma, chairman of Select Hotels.
One day after his death, another close friend, Shona Adhikari, a consultant with ITC Hotels, said she was taking a bunch of colourful flowers on a condolence visit to his daughter, Anuradha Kapoor. "He was such an animated person. These flowers reflect that aspect of his personality."
