I have written this as a "dream" on my Latvian language blog, but in fact it is credible version of what may have happened in the controversial divestment by Sweden's Bonnier Group of the Latvian media group AS Diena and the business newspaper Dienas bizness (my employer for 11 years up to 2006).
The version I have heard is as follows:
By early 2009, Bonnier realized that its newspapers in Latvia had been loss-making for some years and it had to decide how to stop the losses. There were a few options. First, to declare the newspapers bankrupt. This could be a dragged out process and perhaps would require a restructuring of the Diena group to separate out some profitable and potentially profitable parts. It would also cause some bad PR for Bonnier, who came into the Latvian market in the early 1990s under the banner of bringing a free, independent press to the post-Soviet country;
Another, similar alternative would be to close the newspapers. This (also probably the bankruptcy proceedings) would require dismissing the entire staff, paying severance pay, etc. There would also be bad PR.
The third possibility was to divest the newspapers. However, with at least Diena making serious losses (both papers lost a total of LVL 2.7 million in 2009), it was unlikely to get a buyer for any reasonable price. Also, it didn't look like the media market in Latvia would recover in the foreseeable future with the country in the midst of a very severe recession.
It was then, according to a version I have heard, that the Bonnier Group decided to use a means of divestment that may have been used when the Swedish Social Democratic media group A-Pressen fell apart in the early 1990s. Then, in order to divest unprofitable regional and small-town newspapers, A-Pressen made some deals in which the "buyer" was actually paid to take over the asset. In other words, there was reimbursement for at least the first year of predictable losses that the paper would make.
For the "buyer", this meant little or no cash out of pocket and vastly reduced risk, at least for a while. The method is said to have also been used in non-media related transactions, for instance, filling the cash on hand of a company, then "selling" it for a roughlt equivalent sum.
Of course, I may have some of this wrong, there is some huge Swedish government study of the A-Pressen case I have yet to read. But should this version be reasonably accurate, it means that the "buyers" of Diena and Dienas bizness were compensated with a pretty good sum, that the Bonnier Group could show as an expense, not further losses from its Latvian subsidiaries.
To make a long story short, after the initial "sale" of the newspapers to a company founded by former Diena executive Aleksandrs Tralmaks, it appears that ownership of the newspapers came into the hands of the British Rowland family, who had little or no previous contacts with Latvia and with investments in media. There is consensus among observers in Latvia that the Rowlands were probably a front for political interests in Latvia, most likely the party alliance between oligarchs Andris Šķele and Ainars Šlesers, with Ventspils mayor and accused money-launderer Aivars Lembergs also probably involved.
Once the reimbursement for taking the two newspapers off the Bonnier Group's hands passed through the Rowlands (with some fee deducted), it may have found its way into the black (underground) or grey (hidden influencers, support organizations) war chests of the oligarchs.
It now appears to have turned up again in the latest bizarre twist in the decline and fall of both formerly Swedish-owned newspapers. On August 5, the Diena group announced that 51 % of its shares had been purchased by Viesturs Koziols, a Latvian entrepreneur, friend and former business associate of Ainārs Šlesers. Koziols said he had bought the shares with his own money, but also said he had no vision of how to develop the media group and bring it back to profitability.
If there is a Mrs. Koziols or other significant other, I would imagine that Viesturs would face her wrath for blowing a significant part of the family fortune on a loss-making, seemingly hopeless investment (hopeless if you have no idea what to do with your "purchase"). Koziols is listed as a Latvian millionaire and he didn't get to be that by being a foolish investor.
This leads one to believe that perhaps Koziols is spending a part of the money paid " through" the Rowlands from the Bonnier Group. Which is not to say, by any means, that the Bonniers intended for any of this to happen, nor that they can be held responsible, anymore than I can be blamed for spending a 20 lat bill that passes through a number of people and is, say, spent to buy liquor for an underaged alcoholic.
Circumstances strongly suggest that Koziols investment in Diena is a "risk-free" project since it is money entrusted to him, with sole purpose of keeping the weakened and discredited media group alive and inactive politically until after the October 2 parliamentary elections. Then it may be allowed to go under by the New Year, just as another Koziols media project, Republika.lv, did before and after the 2006 elections (I have no content analysis, but others say it was a short-term, election year project).
Indeed, there may have been no actual transfer of funds, merely a shift of front men from 100 % Rowlands (with people still WTF'ing their presence) to 51 % for a local boy with at least some entrepreneurial credibility. One sign that no new money is coming into Diena is that journalists are not being paid their per-item honoria any more, just basic (as little as LVL 180) salaries. Since the Latvian media job market is very limited and depressed, this will not set off a stampede away from Diena, but will very seriously demoralize the already confused and demoralized reporting staff.
What does this have to do with freedom of expression in Latvia? It is not directly on point, there is no state authority repressing the media. However, there are political interests undermining the quality and independence of the press. These political forces, especially the First Party of Ainārs Šlesers, are homophobic and have a hidden authoritarian agenda. There will be less freedom of the press, a kind of Russia Lite, if these political forces win. So, ultimately, it is a freedom of expression issue.

Melody Maker, published in the United Kingdom, was, according to its publisher IPC Media, the world's oldest weekly music newspaper.[1] It was founded in 1926 as a magazine targeted at musicians; in 2000 it was merged into "long-standing rival"[1] (and IPC Media sister publication) New Musical Express.
Originally the Melody Maker (MM) concentrated on jazz, and had Max Jones, one of the leading British proselytizers for that music, on its staff for many years. It was slow to cover rock and roll and lost ground to the New Musical Express (NME), which had begun in 1952. MM began its Melody Maker LP charts in November 1958, two years after the Record Mirror published the first UK Albums Chart.[2]
On 6 March 1965, MM called for The Beatles to be honoured by the British state, which happened on 12 June that year when all four were made MBEs.
By the late 1960s, MM had recovered momentum, targeting an older market than the teen-oriented NME. MM had larger and more specialised advertising; soon-to-be well-known groups would advertise for musicians. It ran pages devoted to "minority" interests like folk and jazz, as well as detailed reviews of musical instruments.
A 1968 Melody Maker poll named John Peel best radio DJ, attention which John Walters revealed may have helped Peel keep his job despite concerns at BBC Radio 1 about Peel's style and record selection.[3]
|Melody Maker covers 1932 - 2000
Critics such as Richard Williams, Chris Welch and Steve Lake were among the first British journalists to write seriously about popular music, shedding an intellectual light on such artists as Steely Dan, Cat Stevens, Led Zeppelin and Henry Cow.
Melody Maker supported glam rock and progressive rock in the 1970s.
In 1978, Richard Williams returned again as editor attempting to take MM in a new direction influenced by what Paul Morley and Ian Penman were doing at NME and with Jon Savage, Chris Bohn and Mary Harron providing arty coverage of post-punk and New Wave while Vivien Goldman who was previously at NME and Sounds, gave the paper much improved coverage of reggae and soul music, an area in which it had fallen short of its competitors.
Internal tension came to light, principally between Williams and Ray Coleman, by this time editor-in-chief, who wanted the paper to stick to the more "conservative rock" music it had continued to support during the punk era. Coleman had been insistent that the paper should "look like The Daily Telegraph" (renowned for its old-fashioned design), but Williams wanted the paper to look more contemporary. He commissioned an updated design, but this was rejected by Coleman.
In 1980, after a strike which had taken the paper (along with NME) out of publication for a period, Williams left MM. Coleman promoted Michael Oldfield from the design staff to day-to-day editor, and, for a while, took it back where it had been, with news of a line-up change in Jethro Tull replacing features about Andy Warhol, Gang of Four and Factory Records on the cover. Several journalists, such as Chris Bohn and Vivien Goldman, moved to NME, while Jon Savage joined the new magazine The Face. Coleman left in 1981, the paper's design was updated, but sales and prestige were at a low ebb through the early 1980s, with NME dominant.
By 1983, the magazine had become more populist and pop-orientated, exemplified by its modish "MM" masthead, regular covers for the likes of Duran Duran and its choice of Eurythmics' Touch as the best album of the year. Things were to change, however. In February 1984, Allan Jones, noted for sardonic, boozy interviews with Lou Reed and Ozzy Osbourne, and a staff writer on the paper since 1974, was appointed editor: defying instructions to put Kajagoogoo on the cover, he led the magazine with an article on up-and-coming band The Smiths.
In 1986, MM was invigorated by the arrival of a group of journalists, including Simon Reynolds and David Stubbs, who had run a music fanzine called Monitor from the University of Oxford, and Chris Roberts, from Sounds, who established MM as more individualistic and intellectual. This was especially true after the hip-hop wars at NME, a schism between enthusiasts of progressive black music such as Public Enemy and Mantronix and fans of traditional white rock - ended in a victory for the latter, the departure of writers such as Mark Sinker and Biba Kopf, and the rise of Andrew Collins and Stuart Maconie, who pushed NME in a more populist direction.
While MM continued to devote most space to rock and indie music (notably Everett True's coverage of the emerging grunge scene in Seattle), it covered dance music, hip hop and post rock and electronica. Two of the paper's writers, Push and Ben Turner, went on to launch IPC Media's monthly dance music magazine Muzik. Even in the mid-1990s, when Britpop brought a new generation of readers to the music press, it remained less populist than its rivals, with younger writers such as Simon Price, Taylor Parkes and Neil Kulkarni continuing the 1980s tradition of iconoclasm and opinionated criticism. The paper printed harsh criticism of Ocean Colour Scene and Kula Shaker, and allowed dissenting views on Oasis and Blur at a time when they were praised by the rest of the press. In 1999, Melody Maker descirbed Muse's debut album, 'Showbiz' as 'Painful alienation in a seaside town, where no oneuUnderstands the genius of Kurt Cobain except me'. This article rivalled with NME, who praised the new band for their unique style.
The magazine retained its large classified ads section, and remained the first call for bands seeking musicians, and musicians seeking bands. Suede formed through ads placed in the paper. MM also continued to publish reviews of musical equipment and readers' demo tapes - though these often had little in common stylistically with the rest of the paper - ensuring sales to jobbing musicians who would otherwise have little interest in the music press.
In early 1997, Allan Jones left to edit Uncut. He was replaced, somewhat controversially,[citation needed] by Mark Sutherland, formerly of NME and Smash Hits, who "fulfilled his boyhood dream"[4] by editing the magazine for three years. Many long-standing writers left, often moving to Uncut, with at least one writer, Simon Price, departing because he objected to an edict that coverage of Oasis should be positive. Its sales, which had been substantially lower than those of the NME, entered a serious decline.
In 1999, MM relaunched as a glossy magazine, which hastened its demise. It folded in 2000, merging with the NME (published by the same company, IPC Media), which took on some of its journalists and initially its musical instrument reviews.
Advertisements in Melody Maker helped assemble the lineups of a number of major bands, including:

This week I was making one of the illustrations and suddenly had an idea to try to animate it. It's my first attempt ever so I know it's far from perfect. But it made me happy anyway, it's exciting to see my characters come alive and it was fun to learn something new!

Appropriation or Assimilation?
Using any modes of communication to further a writing or to develop a dialogue can be a good thing. However, I would like to think that a writer, especially one of a non-gringo background, ought to come to own those communication modes in his/her writings. Just don't write stories set in an imagined McDonald's world if the setting and more importantly the characters do not fit in that schema. I, as a nominal gringo who isn't monolingual or even monocultural any more, would love to read stories in which the frissons between characters, setting, and presumed dominant cultural mode are explored. Roberto Bolaño did this in many of his novels and the Crack Manifesto and McOndoistas of Mexico and South America have developed this to greater heights. I want more of this. I want to see my native culture examined from an "outsider's" perspective. Vanilla is bad. Slavish reproductions of artistic works rarely results in anything of merit. Just give me something to read that's reflective of the writer's (and perhaps that writer's culture) reaction to the cultural modes of communication. That's what I love to read, plus for SF writers, I would imagine it would make for even stronger works of fiction, regardless of the idiom in which the story is told.
But what do I know? I just learn languages to understand better various cultures that interest me. I'd love to have a reason to learn Swahili, Vietnamese, Malay, etc. Just point me in the right path and I'll see what I can do.
Of course, right now the thing I'll do first is go to bed, as 4.5 hours of sleep is never fun when working, especially on Mondays after holiday breaks.

Wow, I never considered any of that. I've read quite a bit of translated literary fiction, but I've never come across translated genre fiction. If you can think of anything, that would be great. Since a lot of sci-fi/fantasy conventions apparently came from American culture (which never occurred to me), I'm curious to see what other people in other countries have come up with.
Also: I came across this book excerpt on LiveJournal. It's from a fantasy novel called Silk and Steel by Ron Miller. Basically, if these few pages are any indication, it consists of the purplest prose ever written. Which has me wondering - is it real for real? Have you ever heard of this book?

Andreas Eschbach's The Carpet Makers was translated from the German in 2005. Andrzej Sapkowski's The Last Wish and Blood of Elves were originally published in Polish. Maurice Dantec's Cosmos, Inc. was originally in French. I also have an anthology of Russian genre fiction, called Worlds Apart, edited by Alexander Levitsky.
In addition, I have reviewed Spanish and Portuguese genre fiction when read in their original idioms. Javier Negrete is a personal favorite, along with José Saramago.
Furthermore, a friend of mine who comments here on occasion, Fábio Fernandes, is from Brazil and last year he sent me two anthologies and a novella where stories of his appear. His English-language site is Post-Weird Thoughts. He's one that I suspect the linked article above will make him want to read it and perhaps comment at length upon it, since I believe he's started to write English-language fiction in order to increase his chances of being published more widely.
As for the Miller book, I've heard of the book, but haven't read any excerpts. Will look at that shortly.

2013 Maserati Quattroporte Debuting at North American International Auto Show
For the second consecutive year, Maserati will be using the North American International Auto Show to show off a new or refreshed vehicle. Last year, the Maserati Kubang concept—what will be called the Levante in production form—made its stateside debut in Detroit, and now the refreshed 2013 Maserati Quattroporte will do the same. Maserati is sticking to its claim that it will sell 50,000 units annually in just three years and the 2013 Quattroporte is expected to contribute heavily to that number. The reality of that happening is a whole other story, however. Either way, the latest version of the Quattroporte shares similar styling cues from ghosts of models past with a little bit of GranTurismo coupe and cabriolet thrown in for good measure. For those of you who simply cannot live without Maserati's signature air-gulping grille, chrome exhaust tips, and aggressive sheet metal crinkles; never fear because they're all featured on the 2013 model again. A new and noticeable feature on the 2013 Maserati Quattroporte is the more narrow taillights, which are reminiscent of those that mark the back-end of the Audi A8. According to Maserati, the latest Quattroporte is larger than the one it replaces at 205 inches long. That measurement will put the new Quattroporte on par, size-wise, with the BMW 7 Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Rumors have been running rampant for quite some time now that the next Quattroporte will sit on the same chassis that supports the Chrysler 300, as the Detroit automaker's parent company Fiat now has a controlling stake in both automakers.Underneath the hood, a V-8 will patrol the engine bay while a turbocharged V-8 with a smaller displacement and a twin-turbo V-6 are rumored to also in the works. Like the reportedly borrowed chassis, these engines are rumored to be derived from Chrysler as well with some Maserati fine-tuning for good measure. Maserati hasn't made any official announcements about the engine's specifics yet. The chassis and engine aren't the only things Maserati picked up when rummaging through Chrysler's parts bin. The headlight dial and power-window switches have been lifted directly from the 300 and placed into the new Quattroporte. Don't freak out yet though, a quick look at the new Quattroporte's interior reveals that it's still a cut above the rest. Stay tuned for the official debut of the 2013 Maserati Quattroporte and the rest of our coverage of the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Source: Maserati

Birdy Boost
The first Chiffchaff(s) of the year singing their hearts out at cullaloe this morning. One of my favourite days of the year which for me marks 'turning the corner' into spring. Last year this happened on the 12th of March, so a little bit later this year. Additionally in the last couple of days some common birds that were mysteriously unticked have shown up - Curlew, Pied Wagtail and Reed bunting. Still waiting for Little Grebe.

With aigu and grave in sharp parsemé.
This regular entry for parsemé lacks the usage examples and etymology provided for this word in its Word of the Day notification. These follow:
Edward II gave to Piers Gaveston a suit of red-gold armour studded with jacinths, a collar of gold roses set with turquoise-stones, and a skull-cap parseme with pearls.
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
I agreed to the bargain, of course, with all dutiful submission; and seeing she was preparing to set to work in a yellow dress parseme with red roses, I gently hinted, that I thought it was a pity to spoil so fine a gown, and that she had better change it.
Fanny Trollope, Domestic Manners of the Americans
This word comes from the French 'parsemer,' to sprinkle, strew.

This week, I interviewed a woman who had a rose bush planted outside City Hall in her honor, rode in Huntington Beach's Fourth of July Parade, passed out candy at the Easter Hunt, helped launch rubber ducks at the Duck-A-Thon, organized a Relay for Life team, visited kids in the hospital and appeared at almost every chamber mixer and ribbon-cutting in Surf City over the last year.
OK, that may be the wordiest lead in the history of Times Community News. But it ought to give you an idea of the regimen Cassie Cotarelo, better known as Miss Huntington Beach, has followed for the last 12 months.
Cotarelo was a Marina High School senior when she won the Miss Huntington Beach Scholarship Pageant a year ago. Saturday evening, she'll set her glittery crown on the head of this year's winner — and her schedule will open up considerably.
Still, the Orange Coast College student, who dreamed of winning a beauty contest since meeting Miss California at age 5, will miss the year when she represented her hometown as many as three times a week.

For the Week of 10/13/2017
Democrats in statehouses across the country are fighting to move America forward. In case you missed it, here are some statehouse highlights from this week:
1. Democrats rising? Early statehouse wins test new faces
Democrats have scored a string of election victories for statehouse seats since the election last November. Local Democrats are recruiting and running a new generation of candidates and activists who are eager to resist President Donald Trump's conservative agenda. From New Hampshire to Oklahoma, Democrats have flipped eight Republican-held seats in special legislative elections and are looking to keep their momentum going heading into Election Day for Nov. 7 this year and into the 2018 cycle.
2. Trump to Scrap Critical Health Care Subsidies, Hitting Obamacare Again
The Trump administration kicked October off on a scary start, scrapping subsidies to help lower-income Americans secure health insurance, opening the door for sales of less expensive plans with fewer benefits and protections for customers, and undoing Obama-era protections guaranteeing no-cost contraception. While Republicans in D.C. remain dead-set on undermining coverage for our nation's most vulnerable, state Democrats nationwide are fighting to ensure both sick and healthy Americans have access to the health care they need. The DLCC stands with our legislators in Nevada, Illinois, Oregon, New York, Maryland, and beyond as they lead the way on enacting responsible and critical policies.
3. Democrats put hope in SCOTUS as they race against the 2020 redistricting clock
The stakes couldn't be higher as our nation's highest court deliberates the legality of Wisconsin Republicans' use of partisanship to gerrymander legislative maps. A Supreme Court ruling barring an overreliance on politics in the map-making process could fundamentally shift American politics -- particularly for Republicans, who have gerrymandered themselves into inflated majorities in the U.S. House and statehouses nationwide since 2010. The DLCC is actively engaged and monitoring all developments around redistricting efforts and pending legal cases. We are supporting coordinated efforts to ensure fair legislative districts across our country to ensure every vote truly counts and that voters are picking their representatives, not the other way around.
4. Why You Should be Paying Attention to the Virginia Election
Executive Editor of ShareBlue Media and co-host of the SiriusProgress radio show Signal Boost, Jess McIntosh, breaks down why the upcoming elections for the Virginia House of Delegates matter in her latest "How Can I Help?" column. McIntosh calls state legislative races "the white whale of the progressive movement" and encourages people from across the U.S. to help the amazing and diverse Democratic slate of candidates running for the Virginia House in November: "But here's the deal: The people we elect to these seats this election cycle, all over the country, will draw the congressional maps for the next decade. They're the ones who are going to decide whether we have fair representation — or more gerrymandering to cater to a far-right electorate and disenfranchise black and brown voters." With the Virginia election less than 50 days away, check out the DLCC's list of Virginia Spotlight Race candidates at races.dlcc.org for more information on how you can help these candidates!
5. America might see a new constitutional convention in a few years
"Conservative activists recently met in Phoenix to discuss a radical rewriting of the Constitution that could undermine the Bill of Rights and accelerate attacks on reproductive rights. Right now, Republicans have control of 32 state legislatures. Article V of the Constitution states that a constitutional convention can be called at the request of two-thirds of state legislatures – that's 34 states. Republicans are only two states away from calling a convention to change the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution." We are scarily close to this nightmarish convention becoming a reality. If Republicans win control of just two more state legislatures, they could call a convention at any point. With Donald Trump in the White House, this possibility becomes even more threatening. And over the last few months, it's become more than just a theoretical possibility.
What you need to know about how Nevada Republicans are undermining our democracy -- DLCC Medium post
'You Have to Do Something.' Meet the 27-Year-Old Woman Teaching Millennials How to Run For Office -- TIME
"Virginia is now the most important place on the U.S. political landscape — and what happens there could decide the fate of the nation."
In his recent op-ed for the New York Times, columnist Paul Krugman writes how Virginia has become more like the "real America" over the past few years and why the upcoming elections for the Virginia House of Delegates are so crucial to the future of our nation as a whole. With the United States becoming a more diverse country committed to upholding the rights of all peoples, Republicans adherence to policies counter to our nation's core values may bring about the decline of the Grand Ol' Party. As Virginia Democrats run a record number of candidates and enthusiasm at an all-time high following major legislative special election victories across the country, Virginia may just be the beginning as Democrats continue to build a momentum heading in to the 2018 midterms.

In his second Aber Conference address, Don Carson spoke on Paul's prayer in Eph 1:15-23. He began by reflecting on the interrelationship between God's sovereignty and human responsibility in prayer. Prayer 'changes things' not by persuading the Lord to change his mind, but because it is the divinely appointed means by which the Lord fulfills his eternal purposes.
There is a tight relationship between Paul's praise in Eph 1:3-14 and his prayer in Eph 1:15-23. What God has purposed for his people, such as knowledge of 'the mystery of his will' (Eph 1:9) is precisely what Paul prays for on behalf of the Ephesian church in Eph 1:17. His prayer is in sync with God's plan for his people and is a means by which the Lord's plan is richly fulfilled in his people.
In the last petition of the prayer Paul prays for power for the Ephesian believers, Eph 1:19. As God is omnipotent, no task is either more easy or more difficult for him. Creating a universe requires no more effort for him than creating the most wisp-like of sub atomic particles. His mightiest works require no expenditure of divine energy. 'He can act when he reposes and reposes when he acts.' (Herman Bavinck). However, to illustrate the power of God that Paul prays will be at work in the believer, the apostle does not refer to the creation of the world by divine fiat. Rather, he speaks of 'his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand...' Eph 1:20.
It took no greater 'effort' for God to raise Jesus from the dead than to create the vast universe from nothing. But the resurrection of Jesus revealed more of the glory of God's omnipotence. His glory is supremely revealed in the work of redemption, at the heart of which is the death and resurrection of Christ. The reason why God displays his glory in saving lost sinners is not because he needs our approval or praise to complete him in any way. From eternity God was superabundantly satisfied in the loving communicative action of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In redemption, the truine God acts to draws alienated sinners to himself that we may enjoy restored communion with him and so glorify his name. He wants us to glorify him because that is what is best for us. Our lives can have no more higher or satisfying end than to worship the God of the gospel and be enclosed in his love.
Conference meetings are live broadcast here at 11am & 7.30pm.

I have also received 40 hours (each) of training in the areas of IED electronics, explosive event exploitation (post blast analysis), weapons technical intelligence, and homemade explosives. Additionally, I am a novice German speaker.
Physically fit and mission focused, I strive to ensure the needs of the organization are met in a timely and efficient manner. I have scored expert with my assigned weapon, consistently achieve the maximum score on the Army Physical Fitness Test, and am certified in civilian lead climbing and SCUBA diving.

Problem solving/judgement: Managed operational risks by employing the military Deliberate Risk Management process and consulting with Department of the Army Safety personnel. Thorough assessment of unit capabilities resulted in identification of potential weakness and recommendations to the Commander to mitigate their impact.

Flexibility/Adaptability: Quickly adapted to unexpected job assignment and became a trusted member of my new organization. Supported new Commanders initiatives and projects; encouraged Brigade as a whole to accept and work towards achieving these goals.

Interpersonal Ability: Acted as a coach and confidant for the Soldiers in my section. Ensuring my support staff Soldiers understood the value of their mission was critical to the success of the unit over all.
Collaboration: Frequently worked with the other Companies in my unit to ensure we maximized use of training areas and unit funding. Collaborated with our Chemical Corps counterparts to develop and execute a joint Chemical Response Field Exercise, encouraging exchange of techniques between our units.
Organizing and Planning: Planned and executed five small arms ranges, certifying over 200 Soldiers on their individual and crew served weapons systems; conducted multiple demolition ranges to increase Soldier survivability and effectiveness on the battlefield.
Problem solving/judgement: Organized and facilitated the redeployment of unit personnel and over $2 million worth of mission essential equipment, with no injury or loss of material, in order to return from Afghanistan in a timely and efficient manner.
Flexibility/Adaptability: Expediently developed tracking and management systems to account for a large influx of personnel due to force restructuring. Successfully managed company operations despite frequent personnel turnover and a personnel excess of almost 100%.
Initiative: Provided EOD support to the United States Secret Service on two VIP missions, ensuring sensitive areas remained free of explosive hazards. While forward deployed, conducted site vulnerability assessments and explosive clearance operations in preparation for official visits.
Communication: Primarily accountable for the propagation of information within the Company. Dutifully crafted and published Operations Orders detailing mission essential responsibilities to subordinate platoons. Followed up with in person mission briefings to confirm comprehension of tasks specified in written orders.
Platoon Leader, JAN 2014 to DEC 2015
704th Ordnance Company (OD CO) (EOD), Fort Hood, TX
Leadership: Personally lead 14 Soldiers in over 270 combat missions in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and New Dawn to include planned missions, emergency response to explosive hazards, and training operations for indigenous forces. Although my teams were capable of operating without direct guidance, I chose to participate in those missions because it is absolutely essential for Soldiers to see their leaders in action, gaining their trust by performing well in high stress environments.
Interpersonal Ability: Acted as a personal mentor to my Soldiers before, during, and after deployment. I personally made the decision to send one of my most experienced Team Leaders home due to personal family health concerns. Although this decision was challenging for the Soldier, the unit, and myself, it was the best thing for that individual and the Platoon.
Collaboration: Coordinated closely with Special Forces to support multi-day operations and to facilitate the training of their Afghan Special Forces counterparts in counter-IED operations. These efforts increased survivability, helped ensure mission success, and increased the trust and interoperability of our nations fighting forces.
Organizing and Planning: Managed personnel in five separate geographical locations during a nine month deployment. Ensured these Soldiers received the resources necessary to conduct combat operations in support of an extremely varied mission set. Traveled to each of these locations and met with leadership elements to ensure my Soldiers were supporting in the most effective manner possible.
Problem solving/judgement: Advised Forward Operating Base Commanders (FOB) on force protection measures after conducting multiple Threat Assessment drills and researching historical data of attacks in the area. Identified IED trends and made recommendations to improve security both on the FOB and while conducting patrols off base.
Flexibility/Adaptability: Forward deployed to Afghanistan within 6 months of arriving at unit. Prepared Platoon for deployment by coordinating for and completing Joint Asymmetric Threat Awareness and Counter IED training (high intensity eight week training program). Moved my platoon across Afghanistan several times during the course of our deployment in order to facilitate base closures and reinforce other areas.
Initiative: Operated independently of direct leadership for several months. Interacted with elements of national and foreign military components, government officials, and civilians with no direct supervision. Despite having only 6 months experience out of training, I was entrusted to make daily operational decisions with possible strategic significance, with little to no guidance.
Communication: Ensured written mission reports were submitted to my higher headquarters within 24 hours of completion, despite constant back to back missions. Submitted detailed sensitive and Secret post-blast analysis reports and conducted time sensitive physical evidence recovery, packaging, and turn in. Utilized Secret and Unclassified information systems in the conduct of my duties. Effectively communicated missions orders to my Platoon, and advised mission Commanders on my units capabilities and limitations, a job typically reserved for a Company Commander.

Family Dental Care
You can enjoy corn on the cob or eating an apple again with high quality dentures. When you visit our office, you can discuss your options with your dentist to determine what your best alternative is.
A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.
Two types of dentures – complete and partial
There are two types of dentures – complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting.
Conventional or Immediate dentures
A complete may be either "conventional" or "immediate." A conventional type is made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking 6 to 12 weeks. During this time the patient will go without teeth. Immediate dentures are made in advance and immediately placed after the teeth are removed, thus preventing the patient from having to be without teeth during the healing process. Once the tissues shrink and heal, comfort adjustment usually will be required.
Dentures are very durable appliances and will last many years when they are taken care of properly, however may have to be readjusted, repaired, relined or replaced due to normal wear and tissue shrinkage.
Reasons you may need dentures
Schedule an appointment with your dentist at A Family Dental Care by calling 216-661-2422 to discuss your options. Or we can call you, if you email us a convenient time at email@example.com. We can schedule appointments 6 days a week, and for your convenience, we're available nights too!

For several students, including Henry Altfillisch and Kate Van Nest, helping at the annual Ottumwa Athletic Club's Spaghetti Dinner is a tradition. Both OHS seniors have been involved throughout their high school careers. "I've done it every year," said Van Nest, who lettered in swim team and softball. This year's dinner is Wednesday, April 5 from 5-7:30 p.m.
The event involves both students and parents. Each volunteer represents their respective sports. While seniors traditionally don't volunteer, both Altfillisch and Van Nest plan to help again this year.
For Altfillish, a letter winner in football, basketball, and tennis, he started attending spaghetti dinners when his oldest brother started playing high school sports eight years ago. He feels the event supports a good cause, with proceeds helping Ottumwa athletic teams. "It's nice to see all the people supporting Ottumwa athletics," he said.
And it's not just parents who attend, added Van Nest. "You see friends of athletes and families attend. It's fun, I get to talk to a bunch of people, although it is kinda hectic too."
Each district athlete is asked to sell five tickets prior to the dinner. Last year, the event raised over $5,000 and served over 800 meals.
Funds raised are often used as a bridge, according to A Club incoming president, Jaime Thomas. "The funds can be used in a lot of different ways to supplement expenses not budgeted by the district." Examples include transportation, uniforms, and equipment. "Middle school volleyball hadn't had new uniforms in a while," he said. "The new uniforms were part of last year's budget."
Thomas stressed that every middle and high school sport benefits from A Club's efforts. Twenty parents, representing each sport, are part of the monthly meeting process. As a group, funds are spent based on recommendations from the district's athletic director and parent/board input. "With two fundraisers a year, the goal is to always surpass the previous year's proceeds," he said.
The spaghetti is good, according to Van Nest. Hy-Vee donates all the food and the district's food service staff prepares it. The students also noted the quick service and the "to go" option if attendees don't want to eat in the cafeteria. "Some people just buy tickets but don't eat just to support athletics," said Altfillisch. "I want to thank the community for their continued support."
"Come out and support it and know that the funds are being used to support Ottumwa youth athletics," said Thomas.

"Breaking Bad" star RJ Mitte got battered and bruised in a hunting accident, and his battle scars were on full display when he got back to L.A.
Our photog immediately noticed RJ's face was pretty beat up when he landed at LAX. Walt Jr. was pretty open though about what went down during his family adventure in Louisiana.
As he put it, "It all went to s***" when their ATV hit a rut. Check out the full deer tale.
Finally, a happy ending for Bambi. Not so much for RJ.

Ecnephias are a band from Italy that h as had an album reviewed before in this zine and plays a mixture of black, doom, death and goth metal and this I a review of their 2017 album "The Sad Wind Of The Sun" which will be released in July by My Kingdom Music.
A darkwave influenced sound starts off the album along with some programmed beats and clean guitars which also leads up to a more heavy and symphonic style that also introduces death metal growls onto the recording while goth style vocals are also added into the music at times.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic fashion and the riffs also use a great amount of melody as well as mixing in elements of decadent rock and doom metal and some of the tracks are very long and epic in length while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording and touches of industrial are also used briefly along with the tracks sticking to either a slow or mid paced musical direction and one track also adds in a few seconds of black metal screams.
On this recording Ecnephias moves away from a blackened style and focuses more on a goth/doom metal style that h as the heaviness s of death metal while also focusing more o darkwave elements, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism, Paganism, Poetry, Darkness, Medieval Witchcraft and Underground Life themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ecnephias and if you are a fan of goth, doom, death metal and dark wave, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Poveo De Santo" "Nouvelle Orleans" Quimbanda" and "You". 8 out of 10.

When people consider making money around the web they generally hear tales about online surveys for money. However, some of the best money-making websites are writing personal assessments of a number of things people find on the web. Freelance writers with quality skills in creating content will make great extra income writing reviews for money from these online companies.
This is a terrific overview of these sites and expanding your knowledge about them will help you decide whether they are a good fit for you and your freelance writer skills.
Many people will look at the reimbursement for each piece of work as the ultimate choice with which company to work for. Do not let this be the only piece of the pie that lets you make up your mind. There are other reasons to consider before you begin.
Consider your writing strengths, your weaknesses, the editor support you will have, the time you will dedicate to the venture as well as how much work you have to do for how much pay you will receive. All of these joined together will aid in making an informed decision which will play a large role in whether or not your business investment will be successful or not with writing online reviews for these various companies.
SharedReviews - Products and Services
This particular company has an interest in looking for workers to develop content for products as well as services. They are not unique in this regard, but this is one of those companies is better than most. Some are better than others for many reasons and this one does have a better track for a number of reasons.
Companies with a large variety of categories is wonderful for newbies. This is a plus for Shared Reviews. This is a site for nearly every product or service in the web marketplace a writer can produce an assessment for. Use a candle or buy Bamboo sheets lately? If so, you will earn a couple of dollars for what you thought of your purchase at this website.
Imagine how much extra money you can make simply rating everything you purchase every month in household cleaning products. What did you think of last month's laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent or that new scent of body wash? Write an opinion about these and get paid for it. You do not have to necessarily make an additional cash investment to do the work.
SharedReviews has distinctive classifications of products and services writers use to generate their material. These include; entertainment, automotive, finances, business, culture, lifestyle, family, health, home, sports, technology and travel. Not only is analysis and evaluation material included for categories, but there are also how-tos, recipes, news and more on this site.
Joining is easy and really quite simple. Craft a profile, acquire a writing group and use your skills to manage a technique for evaluating through 50 distinctive levels of writing platforms found at this web place. Publishers have described it as fun and challenging as well as a diverse publishing arena.
You must have personal experience using each one of the items you rate and analyze. A special online template for each assessment makes constructing evaluations easy. There is a large support base from editors and the writing community. There is lots of communication, encouragement and help from fellow writers.
You will earn money for your comments with this business with a shared advertiser commitment. Ads are beside every review and earnings for advertisements share 50/50 with writers. Anyone that joins also makes money when they rate content created by other members. Voting on another member's feedback lets you share in more income with SharedReviews.
Although it has been up and running for some time, now they are only allowing confirmed Beta Testers to login. An announcement will be on their blog when it is open for all authors to login after changes and updates are done.
Payment is monthly through PayPal without a minimum amount.
Although originally open to anyone with an interest to join, the company has moved to become invite only.
SoftwareJudge - Software
SoftwareJudge has a title that is self-explanatory. Anyone with a viewpoint, positive or negative, is able to format written material for a piece of software they have personally used or sampled. Simply enter your opinion for reimbursement.
This is a great place to find information for any new software you have an interest in discovering what a user thinks of it. These are really straight talk opinions with nothing held back which the company deems valuable enough to pay up to $50 for personal points of view for software.
Categories include; design and photo, internet, software and development, audio and MP3, home and education, web authoring, utilities, video and DVD, business and finance, desktop enhancements and games.
The site is fairly simple to navigate and easy to join. Some of the software has hundreds of member evaluations, while others only 20 or 30 opinions. The analyses include not only a personal judgment of it, but also pricing, along with a five-star rating system.
Members can join free and must give original quality material. Submit a max of three a day which adds up to an extra $150 a day. You get paid only for reviews of software actually tried or used.
Editors for Software Judge are not overly supportive. If you do not have a lot of experience in writing a software review, you may want to skip this one. There is no easy template to follow and the payment is based on the editor's opinion of your viewpoint. Therefore, a novice fashioning an incomplete or shallow piece will be disappointed in not receiving the $50 for the hard work they invested. Creators which are familiar with this material will do well and spend a fraction of the time constructing ideal works of art for software reviews with quality material worthy of $150 or more each day.
Techies who use software routinely will do extremely well. Remember, you have to a real user before you build your review. Are you ready to spend the money on the software and write about it with the chance you may or may not get paid the big bucks? What if you do not need or want it?
Payment is with freebies to some of the best online contributors. Cash payment is also made in one of two ways. The account must have a minimum of $200 for a Western Union payment. Any account with at least $20 can select a piece of downloadable software purchased on your behalf by SoftwareJudge instead of cash. The downloadable software monetary value must equal the amount in your account. The only exception is they will not buy anything from eBay. If you do not want to buy software, they will send cash after $200 is in your account.
CarrotReviews Websites
CarrotReviews is another arena that pays to produce a personal assessment of a website for cash. One of the best thing about crafting material for this business is the terrific template provided. Brief comments and a drop down menu make the process quick, easy and painless. Overall the total activity takes about five minutes which isn't bad for earning more money to put in your pocket.
You must personally use everything you write about. A verification system will make certain a merchant's product or service used in a written appraisal was actually used. An online reference or order id verifies this information.
CarrotReviews is limited to websites only. This makes them different from other companies that offer products and services. Get ready to have an email account full of spam since you have to verify you are using a websites product or service. In nearly all cases verification is signing up on the web page with a name, address or email account-usually all three.
Signing up for sites takes time, cleaning up email takes time. Many reviewers investing in this type of company will create an email account specifically for the business end of things. This way if you get too overwhelmed you can close it. Additionally, you do not have to search through garbage to find your important pieces of personal email.
It is difficult being the first person to discover a website and form an opinion. Even with the low payment option, having a template makes the work extremely easy and fast. Novices and veterans alike are able to work with CarrotReviews.
In order to make the extra monies offered, community participation is a must. You need ratings from fellow members as well as editors.
Personal comments and view points pay with a system of $3.00 for the first person to give a critique of a particular website and $1.00 for later critiques of the same site. The site has a rating system for work. Additional monies of $10.00 are an option for any content rating +50.
Writers get the extra $10.00 with a specialized rating system. Readers read each appraisal and rate it. Getting good member ratings from the community means earning more money with CarrotReviews. Visitors as well as fellow members take part in this system to help writers earn the $10.00. Producing wonderful quality material with relevant information will earn you more money.
RateitAll - Everything
RateitAll hires writers to produce opinions on nearly anything. Categories for RateitAll include; assessing movies, television, celebrities, everything internet, games, electronics, automotive, travel, food, drink, beauty, health, pets and more. They even include toys and tobacco. How about an opinion on anything military or Green? With nearly 3 million things to rate and write about they have an enormous database of info. Everyone that joins discovers something to write about.
As well as submitting evaluations, you can also generate Top Ten Lists for these categories. Some members have even made categories that rate US Presidents or Top Ten Lists for US Presidents. You can even add to another writer's list for earnings.
RateItAll differs from other online rating or review locations on the web because they cover everything, literally. Additionally, the sharing information is in a news feed format. This lets members subscribe to reviews and topics with RSS.
This is a big plus for the company. You do not have to have a specific expertise in a category, but if you do-you will certainly find it with the number of options to write about. You do not have to buy or personal try anything you discuss. Additionally, creating Top Ten Listings is similar to forming regular freelance writing articles which is wonderful. This is probably one of the best review sites for beginners to get started to hone their skills.
Engagement with the community is extremely high for RateItAll. Expect to spend a lot of time with other members. You will not earn with a personal payment system based on editor analysis, but member participation and shared ad revenue are your income.
Earnings are based on creating evaluations and participation in the community. Participation includes reading other member examinations of RateitAll categories and adding content to existing analyses. Even creating a member profile will make more money online for you. Google AdSense advertising revenue sharing is how to make money with this review spot.
Members earn 50% of advertising revenue generated by pages created. Payment is through PayPal with regular terms of service that AdSense has for minimum monthly payment amounts.
UserTesting - Websites
Members that join UserTesting make an evaluation of a website for money in a new and creative way. Webmasters want websites tested and video recorded. When a demographic of a tester matches a webmaster's target audience an opportunity is available for a paying job. They want their URL scrutinized for usability and a user to report their findings to them and UserTesting will pay handsomely for doing so.
There is a unique way of performing an evaluation or website test. Download software from the site to a member's computer. This software records a video of a tester's movements at a designated URL. Where a mouse is moving, keystrokes and clicks are all noted along with a spoken record of comments while surfing the site. All of these go together for a performance evaluation. Webmasters paying for the service want a fast internet connection on a new computer for video recordings that are at least 15 minutes long.
Reviews shared around the web have admitted this is one of the best review writing gigs available. Testing websites and examining the strengths and weaknesses is wonderful. The downside is loading software to your computer and recording your voice while viewing or surfing the URL. A recording of 15 minutes doesn't seem like an extremely long time, but it could be.
The biggest disadvantage is the work is not guaranteed. Remember, they match you with a URL that will work with your knowledge, know how and ability among other things. This means the pay is not driven by you, but by the editors managing the service and other factors.
After making a video, four quick questions will need an answer to receive $10 for each recording or appraisal. Payments are via PayPal to testers.
In conclusion
These are places around the web that pay great money for assessing websites, products, services, software and just about everything else found online. When a writer contemplates making money online writing reviews, consider these great sites. Look carefully at the advantages and disadvantages of each one before deciding where to invest your time and service. Some even ask you to invest your money. Is the return worth it?
There are track records to support a number of writer's personal opinions of each one of these. You will find what they personally feel and think of each around the web. Check them out and leave your own eval as well after trying these out. Reviewing these could even increase your income, depending on where you leave a viewpoint or opinion. Donating one to one of these sites could earn you a few extra dollars.
