A doorway of mystery and surprises, very well done Gary
I want to get in... oh... this is so nicely constructed,like a labyrint , one tries to get in, but bumps his nose onto something colorful, and yeah, the play never ends... so nicely dimensional...original piece, as usually Gary.
My gallery :
You must be thoroughly enjoying doing these paintings. Don't you just love the way things turn out when you play with shapes and colors? You will never exhaust your imagination. Keep at it!
Exactly Gary, and what a wonderful piece it is.
Bobbi, Alexandra, Pat,and AT-TA.... thanks so much for your kind and perceptive comments on this... I do love to build and construct these pieces and each one takes on its own life and mystery and hopefully connects to the viewer... even if just a few.. again many thanks...
Already commented in the main gallery! Nothing more to add than admiring it again!

Commissioner of EducationRead Bio
Paraprofessionals are an integral part of special education services in today's schools. They are a vital link to the student as well as the community. The use of paraprofessionals continues to increase. Their roles are multifaceted. Paraprofessionals may have great impact on students with special needs and their families in relation to reaching educational goals. These issues have impacted the need for awareness and training to strengthen the skills of the paraprofessional working in schools today.
To meet the changing demands for skilled paraprofessionals in today's classrooms, the Arkansas Department of Education, Special Education Unit, has developed a training program for paraprofessionals who provide direct service to students with special needs. The training program is a collaborative effort between paraprofessionals, teachers, administrators, parents and their communities. The training is designed to be informational, practical and activity based for paraprofessionals.
The core training consists of three core modules, each six hours, which are interactive and enhance the knowledge and variability of instructional demands relative to the responsibilities of paraprofessionals. The sessions are presented through facilitator directed activities and PowerPoint presentations. The paraprofessionals receive handouts during the sessions that will serve as valuable resources for use when the training is completed. Pre and post tests are administered to the paraprofessionals on the expected competencies for each module.

To get started, you'll need to get hold of Charities variations form from HMRC, commonly known as a ChV1 form. You'll find it here or your can download a copy of the ChV1 form at the bottom of this FAQ. If you are having problems opening the document click here for some help.
How to fill in the ChV1 form
Page one – about your organisation
- Please fill out your charity's details and contact information (boxes 1-8).
- You'll be asked for a 'HMRC Charities reference' in box 2.
- If your charity has registered for Gift Aid then this is your Gift Aid number. This usually begins with 'X' ('CR' if you're registered in Scotland, 'CH' if you're a Community Amateur Sports Club).
- If your charity doesn't have a Gift Aid number or if it's pending, please put 'X' in the box.
Pages two and three – about the changes
You don't need to fill anything out on these pages.
Page four – about the changes (continued)
You'll see on this page we've already filled out some of our details in the top section. There's nothing you need to complete, but you'll need to make sure you send us a copy please.
Please ignore the box that asks for the nominee's account details – this box is not used by us or the HMRC for this type of change.
Page six - declaration
- The two signatories must give their National Insurance numbers to enable HMRC to run a standard identity verification check, and to confirm that they have authority to appoint JustGiving to reclaim Gift Aid on behalf of your charity.
- If you're not registered with the HMRC, please complete this page with the details of the persons that if you were to apply, would be the officials you would use.
- If you only have one signatory registered with the HMRC, please include a cover letter stating this when you return the form to us.
When you're done
Once you've completed the form, print off a copy. You should have three pages altogether (page 1, page 4 and page 6)
Then post it to us at JustGiving.
Our address is:
Amy Colvin, JustGiving memberships
2nd Floor
Blue Fin Building
110 Southwark Street
Please don't return this form to the HMRC as this will delay your application. Post it to us instead!
If you get stuck
Take a look at the HMRC's guide on how to complete the ChV1 form.
You can also contact one of our friendly support team who would be happy to talk you through how to complete the form.
A few things to remember:
- We can only claim Gift Aid on your charity donations if you've applied for a Gift Aid number directly with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). We don't apply for the Gift Aid number on your behalf.
- As your Gift Aid agent, we only make claims on donations made through JustGiving. It doesn't affect your ability to claim Gift Aid on all other donations made to your charity.
If you haven't applied for a Gift Aid number yet, then you can do it on the HMRC website

The reality is: virtually all smart thermostat makers advise against it. Why? Because it's complex and dangerous, it requires extra hardware (a relay), and there are options out there that make a lot more sense.
That's right: Nest, Ecobee, and a number of other manufacturers of 24V smart thermostats warn against using their products with electric heaters.
I mean, technically, you can – you may have seen smart home bloggers and YouTubers who managed to "achieve" this complicated setup. But the truth is that the physical setup required negates virtually all the smart technology that helps you save energy and money – we'll get into that in just a minute.
Just think about it: The hardware isn't built for it, the learning and heating algorithms weren't designed with it in mind, and it requires extra wiring that should be done by a professional. Wiring that is at best, complicated, and at worst, dangerous. 240V lines should only be handled by professionals and require precise calculations to make sure there's compatibility.
If you're looking to get rid of those old thermostats and get smart, there are options made specifically for electric heat that are even better than your traditional or programmable thermostat.
Please Let Me Relay This To You.
Remember, electric heaters are exactly that – electric. High Voltage appliances coursing with a potentially dangerous current. They require a lot more electricity to pass through the thermostat than one designed for a furnace. In order to hook up a thermostat made for 24V to a 240V line you'll need to install an electrical relay alongside the thermostat. This does a couple of things – it acts as a buffer between the thermostat and electrical current, and also acts as a heatsink.
It also has negative side-effects. You know all that money-saving and comfort-making technology built into smart thermostats? Advanced control, heating algorithms, etc? Throw those out the window. By installing a relay between your thermostat and main-line, you're taking all that advanced technology and reverting it to a simple ON/OFF setup. This is COMPLETELY counter-intuitive.
Simply adding an extra piece of hardware won't give you the control you crave. In fact, it might be the complete opposite. Smart home technology is only smart when you use it the right way. Compromising that (especially when dealing with high voltage electricity) can have a ton of negative consequences.
It Comes at the Cost of Savings.
Smart control is one feature people expect out of their thermostats. But with new technology comes new benefits – and one of those is energy savings. Saving energy is a huge goal for some people and a smart thermostat is one of the very best ways to reduce your energy usage and carbon footprint. On a more practical level, using less energy translates to lower energy bills and more money in your pocket every month. One of the biggest barriers to outfitting a home with smart thermostats is the upfront cost. But here's the thing: if you do the math, virtually any smart thermostats will pay for themselves in only a couple of years, which is a small fraction of the average life of a thermostat.
The average MSRP of a low voltage thermostat is quite reasonable. You pay anywhere from $250-$500, (depending on your setup and need for extra sensors) and you get full control of your heat through advanced algorithms and technology. These are designed to use less energy and help you save money.
But there's a problem: using a relay-based workaround for 24V thermostats on line-voltage heaters will cost you more. It completely negates one of the major benefits of smart thermostats by transforming sophisticated technology into a primitive version of itself. This is because you have to have a thermostat and relay system for each heater in your home. This means at least $250 + $30 per heater, with none of the bells and whistles.
It's like expecting a sportscar but getting a horse and carriage. You just aren't going to get the performance you want.
No – there's a much better way to control your baseboard heaters with your smart home setup.
And it saves you money too.
Meet Mysa.
Mysa does what Nest and Ecobee do – but for electric heaters. There's been a big lack of real smart solutions available for High Voltage heating in the smart home space, and Mysa's ready to change that. Not only does it share virtually all the same smart features as Nest or Ecobee, it actually has a wider range of compatibility with smart home systems. It's a full-fledged, money saving option for something that can eat up to 60% of your power bill. Savings range from between 13-30% on average, and at $125 per thermostat, it more than halves the $280 entry to inefficiency that you'd get with a 24V thermostat + a relay. A Mysa setup will pay for itself in only a couple of years.
So You Have a Couple of Options:
Install an expensive piece of smart home hardware to do something it was never designed to do.
Buy smart home hardware specifically built to handle and regulate Line Voltage loads.
Nest and Ecobee both make great hardware – but so do we. And we make it specifically for the homes that they can't serve: 1 in 3 Canadian and 10% of American households use baseboard heating as their primary method of home heating. Even more have a couple of electric heaters in their house as secondary or backup heating.
We're making a huge difference in the lives of people who use electric heat. Are you one of them?

Help. I have 4 electric heaters in the ceiling of a parking garage to prevent pipes from freezing. I would like to have them on a thermostat to be controlled by smartphone. would 1 thermostat be able to control all 4 units,
I live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment where I have a baseboard heater in every single room and in living room (total 5!). Every single baseboard heater is controlled by its own thermostat. Is there anyway I can control all of them with a single Mysa thermostat? For my situation it seems I need to buy 5 of them and would be overkill and very costly as each is priced at $125 at the moment.
I'm wondering what to do when I have a mixed-use system: I've got my HVac running both heating and cooling for my entire condo [until things here in Montreal get "Canadian-Cold"] along with a series of baseboard heaters. Why can't I find a system that lets me connect both an HVAC AND Baseboard heaters to the same system so that everything can communicate together?
i need 5 mysa thermostats, can they be controlled by an app and used as zones? can i set timers or specific on times for them?
Can mysa be controlled by bluetooth or wifi with Alexa
I use electric baseboard as the second stage of heat in my home, primary is a heat pump. Can the Mysa be integrated with the Ecobee to stage heating during the winter and swing months?
Hi there. I have a two bedroom + loft townhouse. I believe I will need 5 thermostats. Sounds like Mysa is a great way to control them even when I am out of town using wifi. I wanted to also get a smart lock to give access to cleaners remotely. Do I need to consider an integrated system that is compatible with both Mysa and the smart lock or can I choose any smart lock and just treat the two systems separately?
Do you have any plans for any other colour options other than white? Black or stainless perhaps, similar to the higher end look of the Nest vs Nest E?
Just checking before I buy a bunch of white ones and kick myself that I didn't wait!
do you ship to the USA ??? and do the work with both Celsius and Fahrenheit??
I'm looking for a smart thermostat that will work in my condo. It's 3 hydronic baseboard heaters that are currently controlled by one old school sliding switch. Will it work?
For newest news you have to go to see internet and on internet I found this web

Down By The Beeches
James Lawes for Atriums
From director James Lawes...
'As Atriums' song focuses on the disillusionment of a relationship, I wanted the promo to be about a break up of sorts, though I didn't want to be too literal. For me, the song has a reflective, melancholic nature to it, so I decided to take that perspective when telling the story.
As our protagonist returns to a place dear to him, he reflects on a failed relationship and the pain caused, but we represent that anguish metaphorically. By stylising the break up and heightening the look of the antagonist, we play on the raw emotions one experiences at the heart breaking moment a relationship ends.'

Workplace monitoring gets easier
Companies that monitor their employees' emails or Internet activity now have new protections from potential allegations of wiretap violations: Under the Cybersecurity Act of 2015, companies enjoy liability protection for the monitoring of their information systems for "cybersecurity purposes." (P.L. 114-113) Although intended to specifically cover monitoring of cybersecurity threats, the broad definition of "cybersecurity purposes" within the act provides protections for more general monitoring practices as well as monitoring without user consent. This is a major change for companies that, to-date, may have shied away from deploying monitoring technology for fear of claims that they illegally intercepted private communications.

The problem appears systemic and widespread, with the underlying cause being the general pattern of always converting to-be-parsed resources (i.e. URL(s), File(s), etc.) to InputStream(s) before handing them off to the SAXParser#parse(...) method. This pattern strips all contextual information about the source and prevents the parser from properly resolving relative paths to entity sources. > While I believe the problem is widespread and beyond the scope of a first time submitter, I have managed to create a minimal patch that fixes the issue where it would most often affect users. Specifically this patch fixes entity resolution for the parsing of settings.xml and ivy.xml files that would be found in a source tree as opposed to ivy.xml files that would be found in repositories. Another way of looking at it is that my patch fixes entity parsing for any file that would be parsed by the <ivy:buildlist/> task. > I have also provided a second patch which provides a test-case for this issue, however for a quick example of what I'm talking about, one can simply look here: http://ant.apache.org/faq.html#xml-entity-include -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Amazing Thailand for undergrads courtesy Royal Thai EmbassyJuly 11, 2018, 12:00 pm
The late Thai King's Sustainable Economy Philosophy
Five undergraduates, from universities throughout the island, have been selected by the Royal Thai Embassy, in Colombo, to visit Thailand, on a study tour.
The tour will centre mainly on the late Thai King's Sustainable Economy Philosophy (SEP) which, today, has made Thailand a vibrant nation.
It's mentioned that the King, in his childhood, was taught to follow the "sufficient way of life" by the Princess Mother who was a model of not only kindheartedness but also of her principles to live in accordance with the "sufficient way of life".
The late King graciously reminded Thais, through his royal remarks, on many occasions, of a step-by-step and balanced approach to development.
The following is an excerpt from one of his speeches:
"Economic development must be done step-by-step. It should begin with the strengthening of our economic foundation, by assuring that the majority of our population has enough to live on. Once reasonable progress has been achieved, we should then embark on the next steps, by pursuing more advanced levels of economic development.
"Here, if one focuses only on rapid economic expansion, without making sure that such a plan is appropriate for our people and the condition of our country, it will inevitably result in various imbalances and eventually end up as failure, or crisis, as found in other countries."
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is pledging to continue three principles of the late King's work by supporting his Royal Projects.
TAT, together with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is carrying on his legacy, via 'The King's Wisdom for Sustainable Tourism' plan.
The goal of this campaign, I'm told, is to preserve the late King's philosophy by integrating it with local resources to build sustainable tourism foundations that last for generations.
The purpose of the undergrads study tour is to take a look at the late King's Sustainable Economic Philosophy and how it can be applied to the Sri Lankan economy.
The five undergraduates, selected after interviews, will meet the Ambassador for Thailand, in Sri Lanka, Mrs. Chulamanee Chartsuwan, next week, for a briefing before their departure, scheduled for August 1st.
Supporting this tour is my favourite airline, Thai Airways. And, I'm doubly sure the tour party will enjoy the 'smooth as silk' flight…to Amazing Thailand!

When Europeans arrived in New Zealand in the late 1700s and early 1800s they brought with them all kinds of animals that had never existed in this country before, especially rabbits and possums.
· They chewed up the greenery, aided erosion, and generally wrought havoc. Now that widespread possum eradication is taking place in some areas native flora and fauna have a chance to recover. When we moved in to our house 14 years ago there were no tui around, for example. Now there are.
An interesting article today reveals how reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone is helping aspen trees recover: Presence Of Wolves Allows Aspen Recovery In Yellowstone:
After an absence of 70 years, wolves were re-introduced to Yellowstone Park in 1995, and elk populations began a steady decline, cut in half over the past decade. Also, the presence of a natural predator appears to have altered the behavior of the remaining elk, which in their fear of wolves tend to avoid browsing in certain areas where they feel most vulnerable. The two factors together have caused a significant reduction in elk browsing on young aspen shoots, allowing them to survive to heights where some are now above the animal browsing level.
…But the ecological damage, researchers say, went far beyond just trees. The loss of trees and shrubs opened the door to significant stream erosion. Beaver dams declined. Food webs broke down, and the chain of effects rippled through birds, insects, fish and other plant and animal species.

Four seasons ago we started off with a traditional binder bound
engineering lab notebook where we kept our meeting entries and plans.
After quite a bit of research we found an online word processing
application called Zoho. Unfortunately, Zoho didn't allow us to work
with images and drawings as we wanted, so we later stumbled upon Google
Drive, then "Docs", another free web-based word processing application. Drive
allowes us to insert and resize images directly from Flickr, create drawings, and format
our text just how we wanted. Recently Drive introduced a
"collaboration" feature that allows all team members to simultaneously
edit documents while viewing live changes. Best of all, Drive is free to use and provides plenty of storrage for hundreds of hours worth of meeting notations.
In Drive, we created a template that can easily be used to create a new document every meeting. The template includes the FIRST required components including Task/Reflection table, team number, date, page number, meeting number, and footer table. In the spirit of gracious professionalism, we have created a public copy of the template for teams to use for their own engineering lab notebook.
While text documentation is a crutial component of recording the engineering journey, pictures and drawings are invaluable in presenting concepts and results to judges, fellow team members and teams. Using the Flickr Mobile application for smartphones, each team member of our team takes pictures of their work through meetings which automatically upload to the team's Flickr page which contains over 11,000 photos from our five seasons together. We can organize pictures into sets for each meeting, and copy them directly into Drive for our engineering notebook.

The present study proposes to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to study the above issues.
Objective 1
The responses to climate change will be studied through the research work –available at public domain- available at the national and sub national level. Based on the existing literature, the major climate change impacts to various resources will be identified. An attempt will be made to identify a region specific impact indicator(s) for each of the resource. The study will also examine the probability of using these indicators to assess the impacts in other regions as well as other resources. The objective will be met based on the published data/information and also examining the results using statistical techniques.
Objective 2
The rainfall and temperature
pattern will be analyzed based on the daily / monthly data available for the
meteorological stations of
The decadal
changes in ground water level will be studied based on the observation well
data. The water potential will be estimated based on the Ghyben-Herzberg
relation and pump testing. The Burn's rule will be utilized in the available data to
estimate the impact of sea level rise on ground water aquifer system of the
inhabited atolls of the
Objective 3
Corals build their hard skeltons from calcium carbonate a mineral extracted from sea water. The carbonate contains isotopes of oxygen, as well as trace metals that can be used to determine the temperature of water in which the coral grew. These temperature recordings can then be used to reconstruct climate when the coral lived. Similarly the C isotope studies will help us to delineate the sources of C in the past as well as the climatic control over it.
Many tons of sediment accumulates in the coastal and ocean basins each year. Sediment sample will be collected through drilling by cores. The sediment consists of tiny fossils that are used to interpret past climates. The rate of sediment accumulation will be estimated using Pb210 , Cs 137 methods etc. The primary paleocimatic proxy data will be collected utilizing above mentioned methods. The above data includes reconstructions of past temperature, precipitation, vegetation, stream flow, sea surface temperature and other climatic or climate dependent conditions.
Objective 4
The toposheets of the study area, satellite remote sensing data
along with the ground truth verification will provide the latest map of the
inhabited atolls of
Objective 5
The livelihood implications will be studied considering availability and demand of fresh water resources for the household and other uses at the current level of development. Future demand for water will be assessed based on the pattern of population and economic growth of the region. The climate change and population growth scenarios will be considered for the analysis of its implications on available water resource and thus the sustenance of island ecosystem. A water demand (different uses) and supply analysis (both fresh surface and ground water) will be carried out to assess whether any gap exist under business as usual scenario and also under the climate change scenario.
Objective 6
Web enabled database application system will be developed using latest web technology. The system developed shall be robust and secured. The design aspects will also cover the issues like scalability to accommodate the growing scope of data that will be captured or generated in future. This shall be hosted in NISCAIR premises. The NISCAIR already has well equipped IT setup like 2MBPS 1:1 dedicated leased line connectively for internet access including necessary networking and hardware equipments. These facilities can be utilized for the system under consideration. The following additional components are to be procured for the purpose. (i) Hardware (web server, database server, backup server) (ii) Software (Database server like oracle, OS Linux/Windows, industry standard Web application development tools.
Objective 7
The Eco-system based Management (EBM) approaches to natural resources management along with Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) will be utilized to develop a frame work and decision support tool to assess the impacts on natural resources and socio- economic variables due to climate change. The baseline and monitoring data of ecological and socioeconomic components of the ecosystem acquired through above objectives (objectives 1-5) will form the basic component for implementing the EBM and ICM. This will be done with taking into account the present ecosystem knowledge and uncertainties. Precautionary approach will be applied where predictive ability is limited. It will be done with participation of all relevant stake holders and scientific disciplines. The EBM will be decentralized to the lowest level. The ICM consists of a multidisciplinary system that will recognize the interconnections between coastal systems and uses. The ICM will enumerate a procedure for protection of valuable ecosystems and development of coast dependent economics. It will set priorities for uses.
Objective 8
To prepare guidelines for developmental planning with the assistance of integration of climate information, the tools viz Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and the Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) , that had been effectively utilized by the global ocean community, to adapt to changing environmental conditions will be utilized. The guideline will consist of the following steps viz. problem diagnosis, project design, implementation and evaluation. It is a well recognized fact that the most difficult part of adapting to climate change will be gathering data about climate change for a specific location and interpreting that data to understand possible impacts on a development activity. The data collected through above objectives (objective 1-5) will be utilized to prepare the guidelines.
Objective 9
Based on the existing literature
Data Source
The published data on climatic studies will be collected from various organizations and databases. The information related to natural resources will be collected from Central Water Commission, Central Ground Water Board, Survey of India and Central Public Works Department. The information published in the primary scientific journals like Indian Journal of Marine Sciences, Current Science etc will be utilised for preparing the climate change related data base The data base will be mainly based on published information in peer – reviewed research papers, on observed changes in natural systems
Organization of work
The present project will be
executed through NISCAIR, and
The national seminars on climate change on Coastal ecosystem will be organized under the auspicious of Indian Journal of Marine Sciences. The above seminar will act as the problem diagnosis of the network.

Introduction Dan's Reading Journal
What am I doing and why I am doing it?
Age is clearly catching up with me. I have tired of appearing to be brain damaged when friends ask me what good books I have read lately. My typical behavior in reaction to this question is becoming less and less impressive. After stammering and stuttering for some time, I spew forth a couple of the books that I can retrieve from some dark recess in my ravaged gray matter. The titles I remember may be recently read, or they may be childhood favorites for all I know at the time. Usually, I remember the really good books new to my experience within a couple of hours…..after my inquisitor has left. Defeated by my own inadequacies of memory, and too embarrassed to call when memory finally returns (usually right after looking at my bed table piled with books), I am left looking well read, but memory and mentally impaired. Thus was born the idea of actually keeping a journal of what I have read. With new technology, I will be posting old and new reviews….with no regular schedule…more of a drip of consciousness, spur of the moment kind of thing. Please enjoy.

FUFA Clarifies on Sponsorship Deal Row
By Thomas Odongo
After FUFA recently sealing a deal with Sports Broadcasting Limited for the Uganda Premier League starting next season, unsourced reports especially on social media claimed that FUFA had warned club managers in regards to the matter.
In a statement released on Tuesday evening, FUFA insisted that there is no beef between the 16 top flight sides and the football body.
''The Federation is now at a stage of operationalizing the contract which will involve parties and clubs concerned on the allocation of finances,'' the statement noted.
Instead of spreading malicious accusations, FUFA however urges that everybody who is wishing Uganda football to reach greater heights should rally behind and push the game on.
FUFA also urged that they are focused towards the development of the game and at the same time thriving to set avenues of bringing more sponsors and partners on board.
FUFA has always been in wrangles with various parties with malicious accusations roaming in the air targeting specific individuals.
FUFA President, Moses Magogo has always been the center of controversies and this has been partly caused by different factions in FUFA

For the second week in a row, city officials have postponed a free self-defense class for women as the city attorney continues to review the legality of the gender-exclusive classes.
The city and its Commission on the Status of Women host the popular classes annually in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, but a letter sent by the National Coalition for Men questioning the classes' legality because they exclude men and boys prompted officials to put them on hold.
The coalition, which was founded in 1977, claimed in its March 13 letter that barring men from the free self-defense training on public property violates equal-protection clauses of the state and federal constitutions.
This week's lesson was scheduled for Wednesday at the Glendale Police Department. The first in the two-part series of classes was supposed to take place on April 9 at Glendale Community College.
According to a city report about the suspended classes, both were at capacity with 80 women and girls enrolled. About 65 were on the waiting list.

text: By taking a wrong turn in a dry riverbed in Kenya, scientists discovered a trove of stone tools far older than any ever found before. Nobody knows who made them – or why. At 3.3 million years old, they push back the record of stone tools by about 700,000 years. More significantly, they are half-a-million years older than any known trace of our own branch of the evolutionary tree. Scientists have long thought that sharp-edged stone tools were made only by members of our branch, whose members are designated "Homo," like our own species, Homo sapiens. That idea has been questioned, and the new finding is a big boost to the argument that tool-making may have begun with smaller-brained forerunners instead.

Lots of stories today about the White Sox and Orioles playing before "No Fans"
This reminded me of a promotion that Mike Veeck (Bill's son) ran in 2002 as president of the Riverdogs (Class A). He wanted to set the attendance record — for the fewest fans.
So, the Riverdogs didn't allow any fans into their stadium until after the 5th inning when the game became official and the attendance was announced as zero.
Here's some River Dogs fans standing on ladders outside of the stadium watching the early innings.
This picture by Alan Hawes is from a USA Today story about the event (link is below).
The promotion was called "Nobody Night".
Last season, Mike Veeck, who was the creator of the White Sox infamous Disco Demolition, presented
"Disco Demolition 2: You Better Belieb It"
I posted about it here — Disco Demolition 2

If you are in the process of adding a pool to your home, one of the first things you will have to decide is what kind of pool coping you'd like. Pool coping is the edging around your pool. In addition to its practical purpose of protecting your pool's structure, it also provides an attractive accent to your pool, further improving its aesthetic.
When it comes to pool coping, there are several different types to choose from, with one option being natural stone. Within this category, there are a range of options that all offer something different.
- Granite
- Bluestone
- Travertine
- Limestone
- Sandstone
- Slate
Granite, comprised mostly of quartz, is typically dark and is capable of repelling water. Many pool designers recommend granite coping because of its durability and ability to maintain its appearance over the years. Granite is also very versatile, whether your poolscape airs on the more natural side or you are looking to achieve a certain elegance.
Bluestone is a blue/gray colour and is a natural stone that is both durable and non-slip. Bluestone is a great option for those going for a very natural look.
Travertine, which is generally offered in ivory, light brown, brown and gold, is another type of natural stone pool coping that stands the test of time. It also has the ability to absorb water immediately, making it nearly slip-free, and can also stand up against harsh weather conditions. It typically comes in three finishes and has a very luxurious feel.
Limestone is offered in gray, blue, brown, tan and pink to name a few. It is durable and stands up well against varying changes in weather. Limestone has a very earthy feel about it.
Typically light brown or red, sandstone is perhaps the most hard wearing of all the stone pool coping options. Sandstone works particularly well in pools that are bold and dramatic when it comes to colour.
Slate, which is made of flagstone, comes in a variety of colours, from dark black to green and even purple. Like granite, slate is very versatile in terms of the setting it works in. Whether you are going for a more natural looking poolscape or something very classic, slate can work well.

There is beauty all around you – sometimes it just needs to be recognised – encouraged – and set free. Sometimes it needs to be nudged – sometimes it's clear as day. Diplomatic design is young and old, it's rich and poor, it's black and it's white, it's Jewish and it's Muslim. It spans all things – it connects dots. Design need not be for some and not for others – for me but not you – beauty is universal – beauty is everywhere and belongs to everyone. Beauty is diplomatic.
Beauty, like everything however, sometimes needs to be encouraged out – it needs to be revealed and released, it needs to be recognised to be seen – it needs to be supported and nurtured and seen in a new light.
This is Design & Diplomacy – this is where we come in. We are here to help. We are here to shine that light – to peel back layers and look around corners. We are here to help find beauty where you least expect it and to honour it in all its forms.

Ashima is appearing for the first semester exam of MBA. She has finished two papers and working hard for the remaining ones. "I hope I clear all my papers. Cracking the entrance test for MBA while working is difficult but I managed. I am happy with this decision of mine but sometimes studies get a bit boring,†said Ashima. Though she is open to more work but her focus is education. She will take up something only if it is very big or exciting.It's a myth that good looking stars are bimbettes. Take the case of the lovely Ashima Bhalla who is gearing up for her MBA exams. The actress is doing her MBA in marketing. Ashima who debuted on TV with Meri Awaaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni had earlier also done an item number in Sanjay Dutt starrer Hathiyaar along with few movies down south and some ad films. Instead of exploring new avenues in her acting career, she made up her mind to pursue MBA.
"Every one in my family is a post graduate. Even my sister has done her masters, so why should I be left out?†she questioned.
Ashima never had any plans of making a career in acting. It happened to her accidentally. "I was a good student and I feel the career that I am into is not certain. I may be getting work now but what about ten years down the line? So I want to keep my future safe by having a good degree,†she said. Ashima is not just a beautiful actor but also a budding entrepreneur in the making. "I want to venture into business for sure. I have plans of trying my hand in the restaurant business. I wish to make it big in any business that I take up. It does not mean that I am not taking my acting career seriously. I am here to stay,†exuded Ashima.
Till she decides on her choice of a career we wish her all the best for her exams.

- Performance Management
Info about the RTE Toolbar:
Q: How do I enable the Rich Text Editor for PM and 360 forms?
A: First, a Successfactors employee or partner will go to Provisioning>Company Settings >Rich text editor for PM and 360. Check the box and the ability to enable the feature on the form template level is enabled. An end user with Admin permissions can then go to Admin Center>Performance Management>Form Template Settings>[TEMPLATE NAME]>Enable Rich Text Editing of Comment Fields. The Admin can switch "on" the RTE for individual form templates.
When the checkbox in Provisioning>Company Settings >Rich text editor for PM and 360 is selected, then "Enable Rich Text Editing of Comment Fields" in Admin Center will appear. If the checkbox in Provisioning is then unchecked, then the option in Admin Center will disappear. To disable the feature in the instance, be sure to uncheck the option in Admin Center.
Sanitize all rich text inputs
- We recommend you enable the option in Admin Center>Company Settings>Company System & Logo Settings>Sanitize all rich text inputs. When users copy and paste info from word or other programs, it can contain bad HTML code and formatting not supported by the system. This in turn when pasted into your form can break your forms. This feature helps prevent that from happening by stripping out bad data we detect.
- We recommend clients also request support to enable the feature "Rich text editor gives confirmation cleanup on text pasted from MS-Word" for their instance when you use RTE. This feature works with PM forms and will eliminate most of the issues introduced by people pasting bad data into text fields.
- When a user copies data from Word, Excel or some other webpage and pastes it into their review, it can contain bad data and cause forms to break or behave incorrectly.
Q: What happens if I uncheck "Enable Rich Text Editing of Comment Fields" for a form template in Admin Center?
A: Existing forms that contain comment fields that were saved with Rich Text elements will be switched to Plain Text.
Q: What is the default setting for the checkbox "Enable Rich Text Editing of Comment Fields" for a form template in Admin Center?
A: The default setting is "off," or "unchecked."
Q: Are the available Rich Text buttons (Bold, Italic, Bullets, etc.) configurable? Can you turn Bold on and Italic off, for example?
A: No. The Rich Text buttons are not configurable.
Q: How will comments created with Rich Text elements appear when exported via Detailed Document Search in Excel and v4e formats?
A: The comments will appear in Plain Text format. Rich Text elements will not appear.

My limit appears to be nine, but I found that level very difficult to maintain for more than a few minutes.

When I drive, I typically have one or two streams of consciousness thinking about lane position, distance to the car ahead, speed, road signs, potential hazards, navigation, etc., all doing task switching to share the use of my eyes. Sometimes I listen to audio books while driving, so that in addition to dealing with the current driving situation and recalling music I'm listening to a voice speaking, picturing a scene, analyzing the story, and sometimes also thinking about what I'll be doing when I get to work. If I need to focus on driving I'll redirect the extra streams to the task at hand.

It is a singular event that is so profoundly unique because it defies our laws of physics and nothing else like it (that we know of) occurs in the cosmos. We know that matter can change from one state to another, e.g., water, steam, or ice—gas, liquid, solid, or plasma—and mass can change into energy or vice versa; we can burn coal and make heat, ash, and smoke—but nowhere in our universe other than a black hole does matter 100 percent cease to exist—as far as we know.

Ray Kurzweil has written about an anticipated major shift in human history, an event so revolutionary as to make everything that has gone before it relatively insignificant. Many pundits agree that a paradigm shift in human history of a similar ultra-transcendental nature will occur sometime during the middle of this century but not all agree on its nature—or how it will play out. Scientists and nearly all religionists profess that it will not alter their irreconcilable viewpoints but may suggest points on which they can agree.

Futurists believe the Singularity must occur because knowledge is not only growing exponentially, but at an exponential rate so that a veritable explosion in technological progress must occur at some point. They suggest that the tipping point will come by 2020 when quantum computing enables artificial intelligence (AI) to begin improving its own source code faster than humans can. In that Singular Moment, AI will begin outperforming human intelligence and facilitate the determination of the function of all genes and the process of protein splicing. By this theory, it will be possible to transcend biology by reprogramming our bodies to a more youthful age, perfect health, an IQ of 165-plus and a PhD in any specialized human knowledge of our choice. That means that science will be able to perfect human "nature," overcome all human shortcomings and problems—and defy aging and death—literally forever.

He's not Kyle Wilson. He's not Sergio Kindle. But in terms of filling a need? It's. He's a left tackle with great skills. He had a thyroid issue he was working through and it limited him early. But he's got solid mirror skills and a good run skill to his play. He's not going to have to start straight away if necessary. The tendency to get dinged up isn't great?
But you have to love the upside. And with T.J. Lang looming as well? The O-line doesn't seem like near as much as a problem. It's a surprising pick. But it's a happy surprise. I had him 9th, remember.

If you are interested in participating in a province-wide trail survey conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport please read this.
The following is quoting the invitation by the Ministry for you to participate in the study:
"Improving the quality of life for Ontarians: In Ontario, all levels of government and not-for-profit trail organizations maintain a system of over 80,000 kilometres of trails for the enjoyment of Ontario residents and visitors. These trails are used for walking/hiking, jogging, cycling (on and off-road), mountain biking, horseback riding, off-road motorcycling, snowmobiling, ATVing, canoeing/kayaking, 4x4 use and other activities. Trails are located in urban, suburban, rural and remote areas across Ontario.
The Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport has retained SPR Associates to conduct a confidential province-wide survey of trail users (and non-users) to aid the development of trails and assess their contribution to Ontario's tourism and recreation sectors and the economy generally, and to assess the impacts of trail use on individuals' health.
You are invited to participate in this survey because you have been identified as a trail user by a trail organization, or as a customer for trail-related information, or as part of the general Ontario population. Key topics covered in the survey include use of trails -- the number and duration of trail trips, trail-related expenses, reasons for using (or not using) trails, your satisfaction with trails, available trail information and related topics.
Timing: The survey should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. As the study is facing a tight timeline, your response to the survey by February 21, 2015 would be greatly appreciated.
Confidentiality: All of your responses will be kept strictly confidential -- no individual response will be revealed and all survey findings will be reported in summary form in the study report.
Why is this survey important to you? The Province of Ontario wants to ensure that all Ontarians have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of trails. Your answers to the survey questions will be extremely beneficial in helping to shape the future of trails in Ontario.
Password: At the beginning of the survey, you will be asked to provide the following password to authenticate your invitation to the survey (please be sure to enter the password exactly as shown below):
The survey can be accessed at the following web-link:
Thank you."
Note: To receive the password, please contact Mr. Islam or Mr. Harvey directly as indicated above.

Today, I met up with a friend and we had a good time talking about our lives. She told me that she had to leave earlier because her sister was giving birth. I could see the excitement in her face at the same time she was sad, she couldn´t accompany her sister. We bid goodbye to each other and went out. She turned left to visit her sister and I turned right making my way home.
As I passed the bus station there was forming a crowd and they were looking at something. I could get a glimpse of two people kneeling down and one lying. I thought they were fighting. I am usually not the type to be bothered by such commotion. However, it was strange that people didn´t try to meddle in with the fight. I looked around and saw faces with curiosity, confusion, sadness and pity. Why were they looking like that? Why was no one interfering to stop the fight? Why are they just watching and not doing anything?
I tried to look past the people and see what was going on and there I saw him. The man whom was supposedly getting beat up was lying there in front of my eyes. I could see him lying there on the cold pavement lifelessly, eyes closed and every second his face was turning paler. On his left a man was kneeling down and doing CPR while on his right a woman was giving him mouth-to-mouth respiration. Then it struck to me, the man was practically dead and they were struggling to bring him back. Trying to get his heart beat again but he wasn´t coming back. Minutes passed and an ambulance could be heard. When they arrived on the scene, they rushed out of the car and did CPR just like the man before. What was different I thought? Yes, they are professionals but they´re doing the same thing.
The crowd was getting bigger and people were staring helplessly at the situation in front of them.
The paramedics put the dead man on a machine and gave him an electric shock, it wasn´t working. So they continued and continued at the same time more and more people were gathering. That was it, the woman from earlier snapped at the crowd what they were looking at and that they should let the paramedics work in peace. They crowd went back only for a while and then turned back again. Another ambulance came and my bus came too. It only takes five minutes to walk home but I also wanted to watch the situation before me just like those people. I guess the bus was an excuse for me to stay longer and watch.
Five minutes I waited for the bus and five minutes I watched the man getting CPR and turning paler as the minutes passed. If I had walked home, I could be home and sitting in the warmth and in comfort. Nevertheless I couldn't tear my eyes away from the situation. I went on to the bus and continued watching the situation from there. Through the window of the bus I could see the paramedics putting out stretcher. The man was going to be transported to the hospital. My bus wasn´t taking off as if the driver was also watching as the situation unfolds before him.
After one stop I got off the bus and walked home. One minute it would take from there but it seemed as if the walk back home took longer than a minute. I was lost in my thoughts thinking about the man who was lying on the cold street dead and people trying to bring him back to life but it seemed hopeless. This was not an excuse for the paramedics to stop doing CPR, no she was continuing as if her life depended on it.
I wondered if his heart beat would start beating again and if he could make it to the hospital or would he die in the hospital. Did he have any family members? What would his family, his friends do? Would they have the chance to see him once more before he leaves this world?
I arrived home turned on the light, put my shoes on the rack and hung up my jacket. I made myself coffee and let the aroma fill up my room it was comforting. I didn´t know how to feel about today. I couldn't feel anything like I was the one lying on the cold street lifelessly. I needed something to make me feel warm again, just something to make feel anything. I drank my coffee and felt the warmth envelope me quickly. Then I could feel like I was living again and breathed out a breath I didn´t know I was holding. I lay on my bed, closed my eyes for a moment and thought about today.
How strange that today marks the birth of a new life and at the same time the death of someone.
This is life, I thought, people come and go. You don´t need any warning, you don´t know when you´ll leave this place. You just go without any trace.
January 22, 2016 – the day a life is coming to this world joining us on our journey and on the other side another life reaching the end of this journey and leaving us.
Yes, this is called life.

Willis ISD incident highlights underage drinking concern
The case of a Willis elementary student who brought a bottle of alcohol to school appears to be an isolated incident in Montgomery County. However, underage drinking - even among elementary students - is still an issue nationwide.
The C.C. Hardy Elementary School fifth-grader will spend the rest of the year in alternative school after he was discovered with a 50 ml bottle of rum on campus March 2.
"He brought it to school," Willis Independent School District Superintendent Brian Zemlicka said. "The bottle was full. It hadn't been opened."
According to the Texas Education Code Section 37.006, a student shall be removed from class and placed in a disciplinary alternative education program if the student possesses an alcoholic beverage.
Policy states possession of alcohol on campus leads to mandatory attendance in the AEP for the remainder of the semester, Zemlicka said. The district followed procedure by placing the student in AEP following due process and a hearing with the student's parents.
"We did everything we were supposed to do," Zemlicka said. "We investigated. We followed procedure."
A request from The Courier for additional information from WISD on the number of days that elapsed before the student was placed in AEP was not provided by deadline.
"As far as I'm concerned, we have great kids in Willis ISD," Zemlicka said. "Sometimes, kids make mistakes."
Another student saw the fifth-grader with the alcohol and alerted officials, Zemlicka said. The superintendent notified WISD board members in a March 6 e-mail, board president Rebecca Broussard said.
Nationwide, the percentage of children who had their first alcoholic drink before age 13 dropped from 37.5 percent in 1990 to 23.7 percent in 2005, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the Houston area, those numbers started at 34.8 percent in 1995 and fell to 31 percent in 2001.
However, that data does not sit well with parents.
"I don't see drinking at that level as a huge problem in our area, but maybe I'm blind-sided," said Vickie Homman, Oak Ridge High School Parent Teacher Organization co-president who has a fifth-grader and 16-year-old in Conroe ISD schools. "That is very shocking to me."
Mary Simpson, who has children in WISD, said it is "shocking" and "not acceptable" that children that young are drinking.
"I don't think it's right," she said. "I haven't come across that with elementary kids. It all comes down to knowing where your kids are."
The Conroe Independent School District recently had a scare of its own when a 10-year-old Oak Ridge Elementary student allegedly brought cocaine to school March 5. However, that report turned out to be false, CISD Communications Director Kathy Clark said.
"Absolutely no drugs were brought to the school by any student," Clark said. "What we had was one child say she had drugs on campus. We had administrators investigate, and they found nothing."
A student alert officials about the possibility of drugs on campus after verhearing the 10-year-old talk about having the illegal substance, Clark said.
Conroe, Magnolia and Montgomery school districts did not have any alcohol-related incidents at elementary schools from August 2007 through to this year, the districts reported. Students of those districts who possess alcohol can be expelled, according to the Student Code of Conduct.
Evidence suggests that alcohol use by peers is a strong predictor of adolescent use of alcohol, according to the Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free website, www.alcoholfreechildren.org. One national study found that students are less likely to use alcohol if they are socially accepted by people at school and believe teachers treat students fairly.
Nationwide, there are an estimated 10.8 million underage drinkers, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism website, www.niaaa.nih.gov. From ages 13-21, the percentage of young people who report in the past month binge drinking increases from about 1 percent to 50 percent.
The same survey also found that the younger the underage drinker, the more likely he or she is to get alcohol from a parent, guardian or other family member. More than 30 percent of 12- to 14-year-old drinkers get alcohol from family compared with about 12 percent of drinkers ages 18-20.
The CISD Police Department operates a 24-hour tip line for the community to report information about drugs, weapons, fighting, bullying and other crimes or fears on campus, according to police.conroeisd.net.
To provide information to CISD's Kid Chat, call (888) Kid-Chat (543-2428).
The Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission recently caught four store clerks in Montgomery and Liberty counties selling alcohol to underage customers. For more information, see story on Page 3A.
