In California, sexual harassment in the workplace may take many forms. For instance, it may be considered sexual harassment if an employer offers benefits in exchange for performing sexual favors. Conversely, it is also harassment if employees face reprisals for not performing sexual favors. Telling jokes, using slurs or posting sexually offensive material may also be considered a violation.
An employee may have a sexual harassment claim if abusive language was used specifically toward him or her. For instance, using obscene or degrading words to an employee or sending an employee sexually explicit notes or invitations is generally considered harassment. In addition, leering, staring at or groping an employee is prohibited sexual harassment at work. Even if physical contact is not made, preventing an employee from moving freely could meet the legal criteria of sexual harassment.
Employers may be held liable for sexual harassment whether they are aware of the activity or not. An exception to that rule is if the harassment is done by an employee who is not at the management level, but only if steps were taken to stop the behavior as soon as it was discovered. If a plan to prevent sexual harassment is already in place, that may also help the employer should an employee claim that he or she was sexually harassed.
There are many actions in the workplace that could be construed as sexual harassment. Employees who feel that they have been harassed may wish to talk to an employment law attorney. Doing so may help an affected worker receive damages and, if applicable, the recovery of lost wages and reinstatement to his or her position.

Humanitarian Exchange Language →
Last week I learned about HXL, a "data markup" standard to help humanitarian orgs more easily share and combine datasets. Datasets from different producers or agencies may actually contain the same type of data — admin boundary codes, population counts, geolocations — but with nonstandard column headings. Merging and combining datasets like this means breaking out the metadata documents (if they exist), renaming columns, and ETLing the data into a usable form. The HXL standard means an agency can insert an extra row with a hashtag-like identifier for what's in that column. So things like:
- #adm1 +code
- #loc +name
- #population
Each of these has a consistent definition, so authorities providing data can make sure their stuff aligns with a preexisting standard for interoperability. Agencies like the IOM, USAID, and Red Cross are already supporting it. I'm interested to see what we can do here with Fulcrum Community.

Behind the Threads
Posted by Stormie Leslie on
When Little Cottonwood Collection was getting started, providing high quality products was very important. We wanted only the best quality threads, the best fitting and most flattering graphic tees, and the softest and most comfortable fabrics that could be worn every day. The basics of what make up a t-shirt being most important in mind, not just what is printed on top. A low-quality, low-priced t-shirt could have a really cool design printed on it, but in the end it's just a cheaply made t-shirt. Our goal is to sell high quality products that have a flattering fit for all shapes and...

Fifty-foot ignites threaten thousands of homes in north-west LA neighborhood of Calabasas, in fervour that started after a automobile gate-crash downed power lines
A car crash that downed power line transformed hills north-west of Los Angeles into torches, action thousands from their homes and putting entire vicinities at risk in a prosperous semi-rural enclave.
Fifty-foot flames erupted on the banks and embers became trees into candles on Saturday afternoon. And while the kindles eased overnight, firefighters continued on Sunday to duel the fire. Some 3,000 residences were threatened and about 5,000 inhabitants were evacuated, the Los Angeles County sheriffs department said.
The fire flared as southern California sweltered under temperatures that stumbled the mid-9 0s in many plazas. Sundays high in Calabasas was expected to be around 86 F( 30 C ).
At its altitude, the kindles put about 3,000 residences at risk, although not under imminent threat, burn officials said.
Were dealing with a fervor thats moving in all directions simultaneously we cant get at everybody, troop director Dennis Cross told KNBC-TV.

The Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) is a new optical/near-infrared multi-fiber spectrograph designed for the prime focus of the 8.2m Subaru telescope. PFS will cover a 1.3 degree diameter field with 2394 fibers to complement the imaging capabilities of Hyper SuprimeCam. To retain high throughput, the final positioning accuracy between the fibers and observing targets of PFS is required to be less than 10 microns. The metrology camera system (MCS) serves as the optical encoder of the fiber motors for the configuring of fibers. MCS provides the fiber positions within a 5 microns error over the 45 cm focal plane. The information from MCS will be fed into the fiber positioner control system for the closed loop control. MCS will be located at the Cassegrain focus of Subaru telescope in order to cover the whole focal plane with one 50M pixel Canon CMOS camera. It is a 380mm Schmidt type telescope which generates a uniform spot size with a ~10 micron FWHM across the field for reasonable sampling of the point spread function. Carbon fiber tubes are used to provide a stable structure over the operating conditions without focus adjustments. The CMOS sensor can be read in 0.8s to reduce the overhead for the fiber configuration. The positions of all fibers can be obtained within 0.5s after the readout of the frame. This enables the overall fiber configuration to be less than 2 minutes. MCS will be installed inside a standard Subaru Cassgrain Box. All components that generate heat are located inside a glycol cooled cabinet to reduce the possible image motion due to heat. The optics and camera for MCS have been delivered and tested. The mechanical parts and supporting structure are ready as of spring 2016. The integration of MCS will start in the summer of 2016. In this report, the performance of the MCS components, the alignment and testing procedure as well as the status of the PFS MCS will be presented.

MILTON, Fla (WKRG) — A Wendy's employee in Florida was caught on camera taking a bath in the sink and has been fired for the incident, according to officials.
In a statement, the director of marketing explains that the incident was a prank and totally unacceptable. They go on to mention that the employee did not use good judgment.
Inspectors with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation came out to the Wendy's the day after the incident. They say there was no sign there was anything wrong.
Inspection reports have a list of requirements and Wendy's was in compliance with everything, that's why the restaurant was allowed to stay open.
According to the Operations Manager for Wendy's, they are aware of the video and they are investigating. He said they cannot comment on anything else.

Transcendental Magic Its Doctrine and Ritual (Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie) By Eliphas Levi (Alphonse Louis Constant) Translated to English by A. E. Waite. Originally published by Rider & Company, England, 1855. The books are transcribed and converted to Adobe Acrobat format by Benjamin Rowe, January 2002. Eliphas Levi wrote the sequel to this work La Clef des Grands Mystères in 1869. His work on occultism and magic had a great influence on the occult scene and especially his incorporation of both the Kabala and the Tarot inspired people such as Arthur Edward Waite, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, and Aleister Crowley.

When I was in school, a teacher shared a story with me that made such an impact on me that I can still recall it vividly. It was a story about this guy who felt that his faith in God is very strong and his God will always be there to help him. One day, he heard over the radio that heavy rains were predicted and people living near the river bank must start moving to higher grounds. He told himself not to worry as he has great faith that his God will take care of him.
Several days, the rain did not stop and the river waters were overflowing the banks. People came on boats with loudspeakers to save those whose homes will soon to be submerged. The guy refused to move and believes that his God will take care of him.
Soon, his house was totally submerged and he had to move himself up to the roof of his little hut. A helicopter flew over to pick up people who are stranded. Again he refused to budge as he thinks his faith in his God is enough. Needless to say, he succumbed to the floods and when he met God, he asked "God.. I had faith that you will save me from the floods. What happened?". God said "What do you mean? I sent you a message on the radio, boats to save you and even a helicopter? I cannot save those who does not want to save themselves?"
What brought about this story? I was browsing the newspaper and saw that the Kiwanis Job Training Centre is organizing a car wash fundraising campaign this Sunday to raise funds for the purchase of a new van to ferry its students. I find that very commendable. Groups, centers and organizations must think of ways to help themselves instead of just holding on their faiths and believing in charity and donations alone. So, I would like to urge friends to go support them.

Oh, baby! Look at that hot Lagoon Creature. Ain't she pretty? Those scales are smokin'!
THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON was written by Harry Essex (OCTAMAN), Arthur A. Ross (THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US, SATAN'S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS) from a story by Maurice Zimm and directed by Jack Arnold (THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN). The story opens (after a bit of pointless, Biblical narration) with the discovery of a strange, humanoid fossilized hand and upper arm sticking out of a rocky outcrop near the Amazon river in the deep, Brazilian rainforest. The hand includes webbing between the fingers, which you wouldn't think would fossilize, but okay.
Nearby a similar but still living hand reaches up out of the river, feels around on the land (as though looking for lost car keys) then withdraws to the green depths.
The discoverer is Dr. Carl Maia (Antonio Moreno). He immediately seeks funding for a complete expedition, knowing that the discovery of the remains of an aquatic humanoid is going to make him famous. He approaches Mark Williams (Richard Denning: THE BLACK SCORPION, CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN, LADY AT MIDNIGHT), a wealthy man (and scientist) who immediately sees the PR angle his involvement would bring.
The expedition also includes fellow scientist David Reed (Richard Carlson: IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, THE POWER, THE MAGNETIC MONSTER), Kay Lawrence (Julie Adams: THE KILLER INSIDE ME, PSYCHIC KILLER) who seems to be there solely to provide sexual tension and Dr. Edwin Thompson (Whit Bissell: SOYLENT GREEN, INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS [1956], I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN, MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS), one more scientist.
The expedition proceeds up the Amazon aboard the Rita, a chugging, ancient boat run by Captain Lucas (Nestor Paiva: MIGHTY JOE YOUNG [1949], TARANTULA, THE MOLE PEOPLE, REVENGE OF THE CREATURE). Lucas is by far the most likable character, always smiling, even when he holds a knife to Mark's throat (don't worry he deserved it).
The voyage on the mysterious river, where they are in constant danger from stock footage of crocodiles, was very reminiscent of the movie ANACONDA. The same mood setting cinematography, anyway.
They arrive back at Dr. Maia's camp and discover that the camp has been torn apart and the two locals Maia left here are dead - slaughtered by something with sharp claws. That only momentarily dampens their spirits before they start the fossil hunt. Several days of searching fails to produce any more bones, so they decide to move upriver to the Black Lagoon. It is here that they meet the gill-man in all his scaly glory.
It's also here that the whole beauty and the beast subplot begins as Kay goes for a swim (to get away from the testosterone cloud that envelops the ship) and unbeknownst to her she engages in a synchronized swim with the creature. He's clearly enamored (since she's the only one he doesn't try and kill) as he swims right beneath her, shyly touching her feet.
Would a human male find a female Lagoon creature attractive?
Speaking of reason, how about a
Which brings us to the first problem: "they". In other words, there'd have to be a breeding population of these creatures. The movie isn't entirely clear on this, but they certainly imply that the Creature is unique the last of his kind.
But the big problem is the whole "gill-man" thing. Reverting from lungs to gills is really, really unlikely. Land mammals have returned to the sea before (dolphins, otters, seals, etc.) but they ALL still have lungs. I guess making him look like a big otter instead of a fish wouldn't have been as scary.
Regardless, the gill-man keeps trying to win his lady love, eventually taking her to an underwater grotto that may have been Hugh Hefner's inspiration. The ending is predictable but the creature does win your sympathy for his defense of his home and his nonsensical attempts at romance.
I give THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON a three on Feo's Shriek Girl scale.

Doll accessories are not quite like accessories for people, so they need to be cared for in a special way. A little prevention can go a long way towards keeping your doll accessories nice and tidy for years to come!
Since doll accessories can be made of a range of materials, we recommend avoiding commercial cleaners and detergents as those products may damage your product. For smaller messes, try using a clean, damp cloth to gently spot clean the products. First sponge up as much of the mess as you can, then use warm water to gently rub the area. Let the item air-dry and repeat as needed.
It is also a very good idea to avoid exposing your doll accessories to heat sources like direct sunlight, irons, and clothes dryers, especially for items that contain plastics.
Remember, sometimes life gets messy, especially when you are having fun!
Our Generation dolls love going on adventures, and they understand that sometimes even a favorite toy might get dirty during a fun day.

State Environmental Police were summoned to Leominster today to deal with a moose that officials had spent hours trying to shoo away from the busy area between Route 2 and Route 12.
Finally, the animal had to be put down to keep it from venturing onto Route 2, according to police.
Police said the animal showed up early this afternoon and remained largely in the area between Route 2 and Route 12, around the Sheraton hotel parking lot and the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
It finally left, but returned early this evening and continued to roam back and forth between the two state routes.
"It just stayed in that one little area, for whatever reason," said a Leominster police sergeant. "They tried chasing it toward the Nashua River, but it wasn't interested in going that way."
An environmental police officer arrived about 6:30 p.m. and the moose was shot.

We'll see what this turns into.
The newest vision for the eastern edge of downtown includes hotels and residential buildings in place of what are now parking lots.
Officials also picture a bustling pedestrian scene where shops and restaurants line the streets leading to the city's 1.2-million-square-foot George R. Brown Convention Center, which, too, would grow as part of their plan.
The group that operates the nearly 25-year-old convention center and other city-owned buildings will publicly unveil its vision this month.
"The economic impact over the past 25 years has been significant," said Dawn Ullrich, president and CEO of Houston First Corp. "We're going to build on that."
The 2025 Master Plan takes a long-range approach to the area, which officials hope to brand as the "Convention District." The boundaries would be U.S. 59, Bell, Austin and Congress.
The plan focuses on three main components: new hotel rooms, more amenities and an expansion of the convention center, which would happen once the other elements were complete.
Some of the improvements will be financed by Houston First, which could also purchase land to help carry out the plan.
Houston First is the spinoff of the city's Convention and Entertainment Facilities Department and the Houston Convention Center Hotel Corporation, which runs the Hilton Americas. The idea behind it was to allow the convention center to have more freedom to make decisions, which would allow it to be more innovative and grow the business. Given that plans like this don't generally come out of nowhere in six months' time, you have to figure it was part of the reason for the spinoff. Houston First is seeking private investors for this project, which is fine as long as there's no assumption there will be public funds as backstops. If private investors think they can make this work, more power to them.
Meeting planners have also cited the area's lack of amenities, saying the convention center is blocks away from most of downtown's dining and shopping.
"For the out-of-towner, it's not a significant draw," said Alan Colyer, a principal with the Gensler architecture firm, which led the overall planning effort for Houston First that began more than a year ago.
The closest collection of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues is at Houston Pavilions, about five blocks away.
Looking at the map of the area, I'd guess that EaDo and its amenities aren't far away, but getting to them isn't pedestrian-friendly, at least not yet. The forthcoming Southeast and Harrisburg light rail lines will help with that, and there are other options to consider, like the revived downtown trolley, REV Eco Shuttle, and perhaps a new frontier for the Houston (formerly Washington) Wave. A little creative thinking could go a long way, though some more options nearby wouldn't hurt, either. Again, we'll see how big and how comprehensive the Houston First people's thinking is when they release their plan.

Let Your Data Tell a Story: Keys to Predictive Analytics-Led Decision-MakingReading time: 3 minutes
You envision a reality in which your institution's key stakeholders—top administrators, provosts, deans, faculty, institutional research analysts, IT, and so on—are all connected to and freely share the same data sets and dashboards, aligning everyone to the tangible benefits of predictive analytics and data-informed decision-making.
That scenario is probably not your experience. After all, less than 50% of higher-ed institutions prioritize predictive analytics in their strategies to boost enrollment, stave off attrition, or improve the overall student experience.
Changing the institutional culture from one of "seeing what sticks" to one that leverages these data-informed insights into action and for measurable impact may seem like an insurmountable hurdle.
But in many cases, the ideal, collaborative, data-driven culture that harnesses the power of predictive analytics was built from sparse resources—which is to say, it can be done affordably and without a lot of training.
Predictive Modeling Takes the Right Kind of Tool
And it all begins with data prep. With Construct, seamlessly connect to any data format, run processes to blend, cleanse, and aggregate that data for analysis and reporting. An easy-to-learn, drag-and-drop workflow enables any level of user to build step-by-step analyses—with no coding required.
Then, using Predict, discover the wonders of predictive modeling. Quickly measure your data quality and patterns among variables, and with one click, automatically mine the data to identify predictive qualities in the variables.
And then keep automating. Because you can either build your own predictive models, or let Predict works its magic, auto-generating the best-fit model based on the available data.
But because transparency and model defendability is crucial, tweak and revise any of the model's ingredients, dig into why some variables were included and others weren't, and iterate on those outcomes quickly and easily.
Why Data Storytelling Is Important
Gaining insights from predictive analytics all sounds good on paper. And for the research analyst whose job it is to study the data, deploy the models, and generate reports, the conclusions may be easy to make.
But those decision-makers in your institution will demand that your predictive models—and the conclusions to be drawn from them—are palatable, easily relatable, and, ultimately, actionable. Consider, too, that most other won't have as intimate a relationship with the data as you, nor will they have time to sift through a report for key takeaways. This is why data storytelling is critical.
When it comes to data articulation (i.e. communicating your data effectively), here are three things to consider:
- Know your audience! – Determine whether stakeholders are more receptive to bite-sized, mobile-optimized takeaways, a simple one-page report, or an in-depth study that places a wide lens on industry trends. Your report may include a combination of formats, depending on the range of data-consuming appetites.
- Find a writer! – Reporting on analytical outcomes is an opportunity to tell a story, to walk your audience through the journey that the data underpins. As with any good story, establish context, state the problem, explore probabilities, and arrive at a solution.
- Find a designer! – Tools like Tableau and Bridge can be useful for creating data visualizations—charts and graphs that illustrate analytical outcomes—but your audience may expect it all to be packaged neatly in a PowerPoint presentation. If so, lean on a design-savvy colleague (along with a writer!) to help produce a cohesive, engaging end product.
Preparing your institution for predictive analytics-led decision-making doesn't need to cost you dearly—in time or money. Start by investing in a right-sized data analytics solution with end-to-end predictive modeling capabilities. But don't stop there—make data storytelling a priority. Keep stakeholders engaged and invested by making the reported data digestible, actionable, and always current.

The Fifties: Transforming the Screen, 1950-1959 (History of the American Cinema)
Price:3992 rub.
Book Summary:
Completing the landmark, award-winning, ten-volume series on the first century of American film, The Fifties covers a particularly tumultuous period. Peter Lev explores the divorce of movie studios from their theater chains; the panic of the blacklist era; the explosive emergence of science fiction as the dominant genre (The Thing, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, War of the Worlds); the rise of television and Hollywood's response to the new medium, as seen in widescreen spectacles (The Robe, The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur) and mature Westerns (High Noon, Shane, The Searchers). The richly detailed text elucidates a number of emerging trends as Hollywood, with its familiar stars and genres, reached out as an industry to the newly acknowledged "teenage" generation with rock and roll films, and movies as diverse as Rebel Without a Cause and Gidget.

By default i need to sort records in descending order how can i achive this?
there is one attribute called ID in the table ,
expected output should be like this

Hi Ronan T,
You can add sort in your aggregate and select the attribute which you want and set the type to descending.
Hope this works for you!!

Hi Priya,
I have tried , but it is giving like this,

Can you share the oml
sorry i can not share the oml,
if u have not understand my question, please refer excepected ouput
Have you tried something like the below in your aggregate ?
It appears your attribute is of type text and it is sorting on text as expected.
You can achieve your desc sort by adding a custom column and converting your text to int and then sort on that column. See attached screenshot.
Amal Raj wrote:
Hi Amal Raj ,
Working fine but after clicking on the completed, it has to give ascending as well no!!
please find the attached file
You have to add a dynamic sort
The easiest way is to scaffold a list screen for your entity and see how the dynamic sorting is implemented.
Check out the below post
Hi amar,
if i add dynamic sort this is how getting results.
SyntaxEditor Code Snippet
List_SortColumn_GetOrderBy(PeopleTable.Id,DefaultOrder:"{people}.[completed] DESC ")
Hi Ronan,
Can't you change the completed type from text to int? I would simplify a lot your life.
Marcelo Ferreira wrote:
Hi Marcelo,
No,that is our requirement
How about adding a computed column ( integer) and work with that for sorting.
Yes You can still achieve the desired output,
All you need to do is ,
1. Create computed column:
2. Add dynamic sort to the aggregate:
3. Change the sort column property to computed column Id:
Try this out.
This should work for you.
Waseema wrote:
Could you share the oml.
Hi Waseema,
Thank you ,it is working now
Is it possible to have dynamic sort on column that is not derived? Or is the fact that it's derived as part of the aggregate (not the table per-se) why this works when "{table}.[column] DESC" doesn't?
... "{table}. [Column] desc") works

Last Man Standing may not be dead after all. The Tim Allen comedy series was canceled by ABC last month, but a new network may be ready to continue the show much to fans' delight. The cancellation of the series was one of the most surprising of the most recent TV season, and fans, as well as the cast, spoke out in disagreement over killing the show.
According to Pop Culture, Last Man Standing may return on air on CMT. The show, which stars Tim Allen as a conservative right-wing father raising a family which consists mostly of women. The series was beloved by many fans, who filled their Friday nights with the comedy.
The report reveals that Last Man Standing is in talks with CMT to bring the series back, much like the network did with axed ABC series Nashville. One of the biggest challenges the series will face is cutting the budget on the show, as CMT is a smaller network with less money to throw around. Sources reveal that there are many options for bringing the series back including a shortened season, and a multi-season deal. The writers have been in touch with the network about the possibility of reviving the show, but no details have been released.
Tim Allen spoke out about the cancellation of Last Man Standing via social media, saying that he was "stunned" and "blindsided" by ABC. At the time, an executive for the network revealed that the series was axed despite good ratings due to the decision to get rid of Friday night comedies altogether.
Many fans are excited by this news and believe that CMT would be a good fit for Last Man Standing. The network appeals to viewers in the heartland of the country, which is a demographic that the Tim Allen series often relates to.
When it's #TakeYourChildToWorkDay and they don't agree with how you run things. #LastManStanding pic.twitter.com/tNcs2VcSat— Last Man Standing (@LastManABC) April 28, 2017
What are your thoughts on Tim Allen's Last Man Standing possibly finding a new home on CMT in the near future? Would you want to see the comedy series return for more episodes on a new network, or should fans move on after the cancellation?

It's Friday the 13th and The Evil Within® 2 is now available. Created by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks, this third-person thriller comes right before Halloween and is sure to give you an early scare.
The Evil Within 2 is a graphically stunning game that brings monsters and supernatural events to life on your quest to save your daughter. Jump into a twisted, alternate reality where nothing is as it seems while facing horrifying creatures, witnessing murders and possibly losing some limbs along the way.
I ran The Evil Within 2 on the latest 17.10.1 Radeon driver on an AMD Ryzen™ 1600X system targeting 60 fps with our Radeon RX graphics cards.
If you get scared easily, I highly recommend you play with the lights on.
Don't forget to download the latest driver (17.10.1) HERE which adds Radeon Chill support.

The Hope College softball team had to play catch-up for their entire first-round MIAA Softball Tournament game against Trine University.
The Flying Dutch, though, just could not take a lead, even after tying the Thunder twice, and fell to Trine, 5-3, at Wolters Stadium.
Hope plays Saint Mary's College next, who lost to Alma College, 5-1, in the tournament's opener.
The Flying Dutch, hosting the MIAA softball tournament for the first time in 11 years, had won two games against No. 14-nationally-ranked Trine last week. The Thunder, first in the nation in home runs, used their favored weapon twice against Hope, and two Trine homers accounted for three of their five runs.
A towering two-run home run by Kaylee Fox in the first against Hope starter and MIAA Most Outstanding Pitcher, junior Sydney Jones of Norton Shores, Michigan (Mona Shores), gave Trine a 2-0 start. Jones had not allowed an earned run in 32 2/3 innings before giving up that round-tripper to Fox.
Hope patiently chipped away when freshmen Amanda Diaz of Round Lake, Illinois (Mundelein HS) singled and scored sophomore Noelle Jackson of Grand Blanc, Michigan (Grand Blanc HS) in the third. Then, junior catcher Hayley Reitsma of Grand Rapids, Michigan (Grand Rapids Christian) hit a solo home run to left in the fourth to tie the score at two runs apiece.
Trine came right back in the fifth with another run, but Hope evened the score again at 3-3 in the sixth when sophomore Shay Pinhey of Ann Arbor (Pioneer HS) scored after junior Katie Singer of Howell (Hartland HS) singled up the middle.
Two runs in the top of the seventh sealed the score and the game for the Thunder. Trine's Makenna Hartline led off with a solo homer. Then, a miscommunication on a pop-up by Trine's Carly Bachna allowed the ball to drop between two Hope fielders untouched, and pinch runner Erica Robles scored, giving Trine an insurance run and the final 5-3 win.
Jones (15-5) took her first loss since April 21, a 1-0 loss to Calvin College. Jones struck out nine Trine batters, giving her 203 strikeouts on the season, and she walked four.
Winning Trine pitcher Danielle Ray (15-3) struck out four and walked none.
Hope scattered eight hits for the game to Trine's six. Reitsma went 2-for-3 from the plate, the only Hope player with more than one hit.

Want a killer read for your Kindle? Knife-edge action for your Nook? A crime-thriller for your Kobo? Intrigue for your iPad*? There's all that and masses more (including but not limited to dead bodies, weird sisters, guitar heroes and strange sex) in A LAST ACT OF CHARITY by Frank Westworth, which is out on 25 September 2014.
And from today the ebook is available to pre-order at Amazon, in the UK and the US (and probably other places too: check your local site)
'As Stoner turned from closing the door he became aware of the gun. Aware that a gun was being raised to point at him. Aware that he was unarmed. This is how it will end. This is how it ends for just about all contract killers. Stoner immediately accepted the futility of resistance, the pointlessness of heroism, and raised his gaze from the gun to the eyes of his better…'
JJ Stoner once killed people: for the military, as a mercenary, for a living. Highly-trained, finely-honed and used hard, Stoner now seeks not to kill as he investigates underworld activities for the intelligence agencies, an entirely deniable operative in sleazy situations. Less the blunt instrument, more the swift stiletto…
'Blind eyes greeted him as he entered the room. Blind eyes staring from a severed head. Hard to read, though they stared with focus, weeping for his attention. Stoner ignored them. A sight like this was a trap set to mislead, to confuse, to shock. He was not shocked. Not by a severed head.'
A series of brutal, blood-soaked murders look to be right up Stoner's street. When the investigation spirals in queasy circles, JJ seeks release in blues music and weird sex with treacherous women. An old army comrade, equally lethal, steps out of the shadows. Is he friend or foe? And who are the seductive killing sisters?
Find out in A LAST ACT OF CHARITY, now available to pre-order in paperback and ebook formats.
'The naked, hairless woman stared hard at the broken, bloodied man, wondering whether he was alive, conscious, and if so what he made of the sight he saw. He blinked again, just the right eye, and from that eye there rolled a tear. Just one.'

Ontario man survives being 'run over' by train
Jessica Chin, CTVNews.ca
Date: Wednesday Apr. 4, 2012
A man is lucky to be alive after he was 'run over' by a train in Thunder Bay, Ontario.The man was reportedly intoxicated when he fell asleep between the train track rails near Simpson and Hardisty streets early Tuesday morning.Train engineers discovered the man underneath the tracks and called local paramedics.Paramedics took the man to Thunder Bay Regional Health Centre, and no injuries were reported.According to Chris Adams, the executive officer for Thunder Bay Police Service, the man is lucky he didn't sit up since he only had about 25 centimetres of clearance under the train.Nevertheless, Adams told CTVNews.ca in a telephone interview Wednesday, "It wasn't really a police matter."Superior North ambulance deputy chief Don Stokes said the man was still asleep while the train passed over him."[The train] would've been going slow… within the city limits," Stokes told CTVNews.ca.Canadian Pacific Railway spokesperson Ed Greenberg said the train was a mixed freight train of over 100 cars. He said that in order for a train to stop, it needs over a kilometre-and-a-half of clearance."Once the train crew realized that there was someone on the tracks, the train went into emergency and was unable to stop in time," Greenberg told CTVNews.ca."But they did try to bring the train to an emergency stop, to stop it before going over the man."Greenberg said the incident should serve as a reminder to the community."Thankfully, the individual miraculously survived ... it's a reminder to stay off the tracks."

American Dianas: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
The Past: There are two traditions of Euro-American hunting in North America. (Native American hunting of course constitutes a third tradition, but one outside the immediate concerns of this paper.) On the one hand, from the earliest colonial times through the period of westward expansion, hunting was an essential part of the pioneer way of life; it was a matter of survival. On the other, and in conformity with customs brought over from Europe, hunting was seen as a leisure pursuit of the "landed gentry;" it was by and large a form of recreation. Women's hunting figured prominently from the beginning in the former pioneer tradition: homesteading women had to be as adept with long guns as their menfolk were, able when necessary to fend for and defend themselves and their children. Among more affluent circles, women were only admitted to the "hunting fraternity" in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. This was in part a result of the "First Wave" of American feminism. But it was also, and perhaps more especially, because hunting itself was under attack due to the rise of market hunting and the resulting near-extinction of species like the American bison. Proponents of the idea of "fair chase" saw it to be to their advantage to popularise the idea of hunting by the fair sex. Outdoorswomen were featured in hunting magazines, and in advertisements for hunting gear and guns. This changed in the Post-WW2, mid-century, as patriarchal gender roles became the social standard, and hunting was defined as a male prerogative. Middle and upper class women were at this point effectively banned from the hunting camp, although some of their rural and working-class counterparts continued the hunting tradition of their pioneer forbears.
The Present: Women's hunting became a subject of great interest in the outdoor community once again in the late 20th century, when more and more women appeared to be taking up the shooting sports. This was partially a result of the "Second Wave" of American feminism: women were entering into previously male-dominated fields, claiming their equality in economic, social and cultural terms. Simultaneously, and not unlike a hundred years earlier, the presence of women in the hunting community made for good public relations for hunting in general: female hunters challenged the stereotype of the "macho" male in ways that were important at a time when surveys showed the majority of Americans approved of hunting but disapproved of hunters. Growing evidence that women, as a group, tend to approach hunting more ethically and with perhaps more environmental awareness and concern than men, as a group, decoupled with the obvious fact of an aging male hunting population-led to the idea that women might in fact be "the future of hunting."
But before we go "back to the future," what do we know about the present? Reckoning the precise number of American women afield today is an inexact science at best, since several states do not specify gender on hunting licenses, and even states that do often neglect to track that information. But according to figures released by the National Shooting Sports Foundation in 1995, between 1988 and 1993 the number of women hunting with firearms in the US increased by 23%, with women accounting for roughly 10% of hunters in the US, a percentage that appears to have remained fairly consistent since then. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, in 2006 there were approximately 1.2 million female hunters in the US. However, the National Sporting Goods Association – a trade association with its finger on the pulse of the buying public – puts the figure at 2.5 million women hunters over the age of 18, with another roughly half a million between the ages of 7 and 17. The number of female hunters has essentially doubled in the last twenty years. This bodes well for our future.
Who are these women? The six US states with the highest percentages of women hunters are, not surprisingly, also states with predominantly rural populations: Wyoming and Montana (states where one in five hunters is female), Wisconsin, Arkansas, Minnesota and Texas. North American and European female hunters have in common the fact that they are, as sociologist Thomas Heberlein puts it, "produced by male hunters" – i.e. women tend to be initiated into hunting by significant men in their lives. Heberlein sees this as a potential problem, as with decreasing numbers of male hunters overall there will be "fewer males to socialize [women] into hunting." However other studies suggest that the socialization can just as readily be carried out by female-friendly hunting skills workshops, most notably the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) Program, founded in 1991 and currently operating in 49 states, 5 Canadian provinces and New Zealand. Over 250,000 women have participated in one or more BOW workshops. They tend to be college-educated, more urban, of moderate to high household income, and in the 35-55 age range. One interesting gender difference between male and female hunters in the US is that while hunting seems to decline among men as their education level rises, among females college-educated women are just as likely to hunt as are women with less, or different, formal education.
The Future: Female hunters today are shattering one of Western culture's oldest and most firmly entrenched ideas: that women are essentially passive, nonviolent nurturers. They are, thereby, also helping to rewrite the script of environmentalism in the 21st Century. But the growth of female hunting raises questions: How exactly does nature relate to nurture? What might hunting – for sport as well as for sustenance – have to do with being green? Can one be a predator and a steward at the same time? And, as a predator species, do we have any other choice?
Significantly, the divide between hunter/conservationist and green/environmentalist that characterized the 20th-century debate is less pronounced among women as a group. Female hunters therefore offer new, constructive models for envisioning environmental sustainability. Years of researching the ideas and motivations of female hunters have convinced me that as a group, women think, through the meaning of their outdoor life, in ways that help lend deeper, and potentially more coherent meaning to the phrase "hunter-environmentalist." These women are, intentionally or not, rewriting the story we humans like to tell about ourselves. Female hunters and environmental activists – and there are many women who are both – have a key role to play in the dialogue we as a global society desperately need to commence, about what it means to live, in this ever more imperilled natural world, as very human animals. Artemis – the Roman Diana – was the goddess both of hunting and of childbirth. The simple fact that the hand that rocks the cradle can also wield a .30-06 should tell us something, and not just about the shifting demographics of hunting or about the changing circumstances of women's lives. Women's hunting forces us – men and women, hunters and non-hunters alike – to rethink our relationship to and responsibility for the non-human world in some fresh, provocative, and constructive ways.
