Being the Talented and Gifted teacher at Clarke has been one of the best professional experiences of my life. Working with my students, getting them to think beyond, and learning more about their interests is wonderful! Before moving to the TAG position, I taught both 3rd and 5th grades.
My husband, Adam, is a police officer here in Osceola. We are constatntly in doing some sort of home renovation, enjoying time with our son George, and laughing. I like to shapen the saw through travel (when time allows!), exercise, reading, and spending time with family and friends.

Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria made global headlines as they ravaged island nations and the southern part of the United States. The Category Four and Five hurricanes wiped out communications completely in several areas and knocked out power to millions. Hurricane Maria put the entire island of Puerto Rico into a power outage. While nothing can guarantee complete safety in natural disasters, science offers some ways that those living in coastal areas can be better prepared for hurricanes, typhoons and excessive flooding.
Civil engineers around the world have spent years analyzing what styles and shapes of houses outlast others. Engineer Rima Taher with the New Jersey Institute of Technology developed a major study in 2007. The study came two years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans area.
"Although I'd like to say that there is a simple and economical solution for housing that won't fail or collapse in the perfect storm, such information does not yet exist," said Taher. "However, it is obvious that thanks to the work of wind engineers and researchers that changes to home design and construction can make buildings safer for people, while saving government and industry billions of dollars annually."
Here are some of the consistencies found in long-standing houses:
Square floor plans with a multi-panel roof
Square floor plans, hexagonal plans and even octagonal plans with four or more roof panels can greatly reduce wind loads. A 2016 study done by researchers at James Cook University found that modern 'trendy' roof patterns can sacrifice safety for style.
"The current building standards can underestimate suction pressures on roof edges of houses with complex roof shapes, and more so for two-story houses," said JCU researcher Korah Parackal. The team also reported that most building designers only assume one "worst-case" wind direction. While the report notes that not every designer can predict each eventuality, poor planning can leave houses devastated -- even to the smallest detail.
"Our wind tunnel research has shown the margins for error are not as great as many people think and underlines the need for builders and apprentices to be aware that very small defects in construction can get you in very big trouble," Parackal said.
Strong connections between roofs to walls
Most of the force winds put on a house will be uplifting forces. That makes sense given the countless images of roofs and roofing shingles being blown off of houses with ease. Prior to Hurricane Andrew, the state of Florida allowed for roofs to be stapled to the walls of the house. Andrew caused some of the most damage in the state's history, enough to ban stapling roofs in 1993.
Roofs with multiple slopes (like hip roofs)
Gable roofs might be significantly cheaper to build than a hip roof but they're considerably weaker. They easily peel off as the overhang catches wind like an umbrella catching a strong draft. The pressure gets multiplied under the overhang, exerting more pressure on both the triangular wall and the connecting roof edges. They might be trendy architecture, but that trend doesn't hold up against a hurricane.
Hip roofs (like the ones below) don't give strong winds a foothold as all sides slope down to meet a connecting wall.
Shorter roof overhangs
Most civil engineers agree that roof overhangs should be limited to 20 inches (51 cm). Anything longer could subject homeowners to strong wind uplift forces. As previously mentioned, those forces can compromise the entire roof.
Elevated structures
Elevated homes serve a purpose beyond nicer views and aesthetics. 'Stilt' houses have been in coastal areas for centuries and for good reason. They can save houses from extensive flooding. During hurricanes and other natural disasters, one problem snowballs into another. Several feet of water damage not only lead to structural issues but compromise electrical circuitry, A/C and property loss.
A 2009 study done by Newcastle University even recommended that homeowners start looking to stilt houses in order to prepare for the rapidly changing weather patterns due to global climate change.
Science-approved and research-tested doors/windows
Why save the strongest doors for a small safe room when a homeowner could prepare an entire house? The Kiesling Wind Science and Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech created a list of the strongest doors and windows on the market. These doors range in style and type. Residents of the United States can also check their windows against the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approval list.
Strong garage doors
One of the weakest points in a traditional house is the garage door. Once it goes, high-speed winds and rain can pressurize a house. That high pressure can weaken roofing connections and, in a few moments, a roof can pop off the house. Consumer Reports recommends homeowners have garage doors built to withstand 50 or more pounds of pressure per square foot. Single doors have much better chances of survival than double-door units.
Shuttering All Windows and Covering Them
There's an older myth that opening up windows during high-wind events like tornadoes and hurricanes levels out the pressure inside a house. It does the exact opposite, often leading to higher pressure in the house. Open windows also allow easy access to high-speed debris as they fly into a home.
Hundreds of thousands of people boarded up their windows prior to the triad of hurricanes within the last month. However, there are ways to make that even safer. Window clips (like PlyLox Windstorm clips) are screwless and nailless alternatives. They snap onto plywoods of various thicknesses. Users simply lodge the clips into the window space and the serrated part of the clip bites into the window casing.
While these clips don't guarantee safe windows during the strongest hurricanes, they can withstand impact and pressure resistance up to 150 mph in most cases.

Base and Rings for 1 Inch Scope and Marlin 795

Whoa! I just noticed that I replied having not seen some of the prior posts. (Browser refresh issues.) And I typed the meat of what I have below before I noticed. Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore anyone. Hopefully my reply won't seem too disjointed.
No, can't shame me into a better scope (for this rifle). Maybe someday, but first I'm saving my money for a Remington Model 700 Sendero and an appropriately expensive optic for it. The Marlin is my trigger time practice tool until I can get the Sendero. The strategy: get a used Sendero (for the stock and action) and then get a custom barrel. The current plan is for either a really nice Leupold or Night Force with a Horus reticle. But that's going to be awhile, so meanwhile I'm going to be cheap on other stuff.
FiveInADime, wow! I love that stock. Where did you find aftermarkets like that!
But back to the measurement, I was thinking it through this way:
Working upwards we have 0.150 (barrel to dovetail) + 0.774 (dovetail to ring) + 0.500 (ring to center-line) = 1.424" (barrel to center-line)
Working downwards we have center-line to base of objective is 1.860 / 2 = 0.930
That leaves 1.424 - 0.930 = 0.494 between the base of the objective and the top of the barrel (using the BKL as an example).
In short, I have just short of 1/2 to spare. (And the lower turret block is 0.100, so I'm okay there too.)
Does this make seem correct? My head hurts too.
Of course, all that said, I can't justify $60 bucks to mount a $50/$100 scope unless it makes a critical difference in shot consistency. If FiveInADime has consistent performance with a $15 set then that's the way I'm going.
Still, thank you everyone for the lesson. (And let me know if I'm still bumfuddled with my calculation.)
Thanks again,

Auschwitz I – Stammlager
The second day of my Poland travel were the concentration camps. The first camp was Auschwitz-1 or Stammlager.
The camp is located South-West of the small city of Auschwitz. It was together with Auschwitz II -Birkenau and Auschwitz III-Monowitz one of the biggest German concentration camps. On the way to the camp the bus passed Auschwitz III-Monowitz, were IG-Farben was located. This place was huge. Our guide told us that in 1944 about 11.000 Jews where working at this place. The liberation and time left only ruins. This labour camp was about 500 meters long and 270 m wide. Around the camp, mostly on private property, you could see some small guardhouses.
After a half hour drive we arrived at Auschwitz I-Stammlager. Let a small photo-impression speak for itself.
On this execution wall the prisoners were shot in the back of the head. The body's were piled up in the corner to the left. This place was merely used for convicted prisoners, or criminals.
Below you can see one part of the "Book of names". In this book every single name for everyone who has been in Auschwitz known so far is registered. Next to the name you can see if the person has survived or not, and the known period the prisoner stayed in the Stammlager.
The guarding path, where the guards patrolled with dogs. On the fence high voltage.
The gas chamber and crematorium, which was later used a shelter for air attacks.
A warning sign.
The gallow on which Rudolf Höss, the camp commander, was executed.
A personal impression of the side.
We took half a day to visit this place what's not enough to see it all. Entrance is free, as is Auschwitz II -Birkenau. For the guides you'll have to pay.
My advice is do it on your own and take the time you need, especially true for Auschwitz II -Birkenau where you easily could spent two days to see and read it all.
More on Auschwitz read the post: Poland under the Nazis. (part 2) – Auschwitz 2 (Birkenau).

Just a few days into 2018, it's clear that blockchain technology and cryptocurrency are hot topics whose popularity will continue to surge. In 2017, at times it seemed impossible to escape a discussion with peers about how we wish we'd invested in Bitcoin starting in 2009. The spike in public interest in blockchain-based cryptocurrency has nearly everyone taking note – now even the U.S. Government.
What makes cryptocurrency so valuable is the underlying technology it depends on, called blockchain. Blockchain could have a dramatic impact on internet security and communications moving forward.

Thank goodness for Summer! Released as of 2:55, May 28th, 2009! Let's take some time to reflect the best times of Summer with some quotes, and natural living facts.
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
--John Lubbock
"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world."
--Ada Louise Huxtable
Natural Facts;;;
1. the warm sun on your skin
2. the feel of your feet in the water and sand in between your toes
3. crazy, insane pictures of the crew
4. HOT weather......(and boys!)
5. the shade of the tree longing at the edge of the yard
6. it's so hot that your ice cream melts in your hand
7. swimming and awesome cannonballs that soak everyone!
Whatever happens this Summer, i won't have any regrets. What-so-ever

McGregor sued by security guard stemming from UFC 202 bottle throwing incident
September 10, 2017
Conor McGregor is being sued by a security guard that claims he was hit by a can at the infamous bottle-throwing back and forth with Nate Diaz and his entourage at UFC 202.
A report from web site The Blast, was the first to report the lawsuit which claims that the security guard was hit in the back by a can. He claims to have incurred $5,000 in medical bills and is requesting at least $95,000 based on McGregor's reported salary of $15 million.
McGregor and Diaz were both fined by the Nevada Athletic Commission for their parts in the press conference incident that took place in August 2016 at the Copperfield Theatre in Vegas.
ESPN reports that the lawsuit was filed in March 2017 by the security guard against McGregor and his sports and entertainment company. A motion to dismiss the lawsuit was denied in May.
Payout Perspective:
This will be an interesting lawsuit. First, it seems that this has gone under the wire for a while which is interesting because you would think that this would have surfaced last month during The Money Fight hype. When I used to do personal injury law, a favorable settlement was between 3 and 5 times the medical bills. Here, it appears that he is requesting nearly 20 times the medical bills. Notably, this case was not thrown out by the judge so there is a possibility that McGregor will need to go through discovery in this case. However, one has to think that a settlement is being negotiated but the sides are far apart at this point.
Got something to say?

To improve efficiency and reduce administrative costs, healthcare providers, insurance companies, and governments are increasingly using integrated electronic health record (EHR) and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) to manage patientsa medical information. Reflecting the latest applications of PACS technology, PACS and Digital Medicine: Essential Principles and Modern Practice discusses the essential principles of PACS, EHR, and related technological advancements as well as practical issues concerning the implementation, operation, and maintenance of PACS and EHR systems. The book focuses on various components of PACS that use state-of-the-art technologies. The authors first present topics to consider prior to implementation, including design principles for PACS components and theory. They also cover post-installation quality control; security and privacy policies; maintenance, including upgrade/integration with other information systems; and governing standards. Each chapter includes an introduction to basic concepts and principles relevant to the topics, before exploring challenges that PACS users may encounter in daily work. Discussions are supplemented with more than 130 illustrations, along with case studies of implementation in two organizations. A useful guide and broad overview of the field, this book presents key principles and practical steps for PACS and EHR implementations and maintenance. Although the technology and standards of healthcare IT will evolve over time, the theory and practical advice found in this text will remain pertinent in the future.Ethernet over twisted pairs refers to the use of cables that contain insulated copper wires twisted together in pairs at the ... all using the same 8-position modular connectors, sometimes also called RJ45 connectors, as shown in Figure 4.4b.

Gamuda Q4 net profit down on provision for impairment on Smart's expressway
Posted on 28 September 2017 - 11:32pm
PETALING JAYA: Gamuda Bhd's net profit for the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2017 fell 32.44% to RM102.75 million from RM152.10 million a year ago due to a one-off provision for impairment on Smart's expressway.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the group said it set aside RM98.45 million as a one-off provision for impairment on Smart's expressway as a result of the lower-than-expected toll revenue projections in the year ended 2017.
Its revenue rose 64.91% to RM1.01 billion from RM614.39 million a year ago, due to higher work progress of its various construction projects and better property sales achieved by Celadon City in Ho Chi Minh and Gamuda City in Hanoi. Its water and expressway concessions division also reported higher contributions from mature expressways.
For the full year ended July 31, 2017 (FY17), net profit fell 3.84% to RM602.09 million from RM626.13 million a year ago while revenue rose 51.35% to RM3.21 billion from RM2.12 billion a year ago.
For FY18, the group expects better performance as the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit Line 2's progress picks up pace and as contributions from steady earnings of the expressway division.
Gamuda's share price was unchanged at RM5.29 today with 10.47 million shares traded, giving it a market capitalisation of RM12.98 billion.

Whether you are in business, school, at home, or in virtually any role in life, you are bound to face setbacks. There will be times that life attempts, and sometimes succeeds at knocking you down. You may lose your job or lose the love of your life, or just feel that the world is out to get you. No matter the challenge, there is a truth that changes everything. That truth is that every challenge, every setback, holds within it the seeds of an equivalent or greater benefit. The beauty of this is that we can rejoice in knowing that we are facing challenges because it is preparing the way for something even greater in our lives. However, so many people in this world simply refuse to see the positive possibilities in their situation. They see the challenge. They see the loss, and they focus on the bad without looking for the good. You, on the other hand, know that there are three things that you must do in order to turn life in your favor.
Never look at the setbacks as roadblocks. Instead, look at them as platforms, or springboards for your greater success in life!
To Your Success,

If you're looking for spring training position-competition drama, you've come to the right place.
There's a battle brewing for backup catcher.
Hey, it's something.
The Mariners seem largely set with their lineups with pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training on Wednesday in Peoria, Arizona, save for a few back-end bullpen slots and this backup catcher slot.
But it's certainly something to keep an eye on. They brought in Mike Marjama from the Rays in August on the same day they acquired first baseman Yonder Alonso from the Athletics. Then the Mariners claimed David Freitas off waivers from the Braves just after the season.
There's also Tuffy Gosewisch, but he's not on the 40-man roster.
"With Marjama and Gosewisch and Freitas, it gives us guys who all have options, who are all flexible, who can all catch and throw," Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said.
But none are headliners.
That's why they have Zunino.
"I think he's one of the premier catchers in the league," Mariners manager Scott Servais said recently.
It's his job, which wasn't the case two seasons ago when the Mariners signed veteran Chris Iannetta to take the pressure off of Zunino and focus on his development. Even last year, the Mariners signed then-38-year-old and former All-Star Carlos Ruiz as a safety net.
Zunino ended up spending more time at Triple-A Tacoma than with the Mariners in 2016. And this was coming off his 7-for-54 slump near the end of 2015 that left him with a .174 batting average.
And last season? It was a bad, bad start – 12-for-72 (.167) with 30 strikeouts, zero home runs and two RBIs before he was sent back to Tacoma.
Oh, but he bounced back. Big time.
Here's how the month of June went after his return: Zunino hit .304, with 10 home runs and 31 RBIs (the most of any player in the major leagues that month).
Call him Mike Junino. Because the only other players in Mariners history to have at least 10 home runs and 30 RBIs in a month were Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez, Alex Rodriguez and Jay Buhner.
From the time he was called back up on May 23 to the end of the season, Zunino hit .270 with all 25 of his home runs, 62 RBIs and 20 doubles – though he still struck out a club-high 160 times.
But his 25 home runs were third-most by a catcher last season behind the Yankees' Gary Sanchez and the Royals' Salvador Perez.
"Spending the time with Mike and seeing it all come together for a good chunk of the season was something – probably one of the highlights for our team and the organization," Servais said. "Mike is always going to be streaky. Mike is still going to strike out some. He's doing a better job of controlling the strike zone. But when he's hot, when he gets in those hot streaks – pretty awesome."
Servais is a former catcher. He knows the imperial role they play, and he said last year was a turning point in Zunino taking charge of the team.
"The catcher has to be the quarterback of the club," Servais said. "As Mike's confidence grew last year, we really saw that – him taking control behind the plate with his engagement and his blocking game with our pitching staff and understanding the value of pitching runs and creating them. We're really excited about him going forward.
"There are still things we want to work on defensively, blocking balls in the dirt more effective. The offense should continue to get better. But if he continues to produce like he did last year, I think we'll all be very happy."
And they expect him to, which is why they have a pair of 28-year-olds on the roster behind him.
Marjama seems to be the offensive option, while Freitas has a better defensive track record.
Marjama wasn't even a catcher until getting to the big leagues. He wasn't highly recruited out of high school – with some wanting him as a shortstop, but he landed at Sacramento City College to play for Andy McKay – whom you might now know now as the Mariners' director of player development.
But he's athletic with a good arm and that played well to switching to catcher after he was drafted by the White Sox and later got into the Rays' system.
He seems like the favorite, but Freitas seems like the safe bet if Marjama doesn't work out. He's basically a minor-league veteran – more than 2,500 plate appearances in eight seasons with five different clubs. He made his major-league debut with the Braves last season.
But in more than 500 innings with Triple-A Gwinnett, Freitas allowed just one passed ball.
The 34-year-old Gosewisch appeared in 11 games with the Mariners last season. He was designated for assignment in August, cleared waivers, was outrighted to Tacoma and then signed a minor league deal to return to the club last month.
TJ Cotterill: 253-597-8677
WHO'S IN CAMP? (three on 40-man roster)
Bats right, throws right, 6-2, 220
Zunino's 3.6 wins-above-replacement in 2017 was tied for the third-highest among catchers in baseball, according to FanGraphs – just behind Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez and the Giants' Buster Posey. Pretty remarkable considering Zunino's 30 strikeouts, zero home runs, two RBIs and .167 in his first 80 at-bats of the season before heading to Triple-A Tacoma. Option status: One remaining
Bats right, throws right, 6-3, 225
Former 15th-round draft pick in 2010 by the Nationals. Was traded to the Athletics for Kurt Suzuki, then landed in the Orioles' farm system, then the Cubs and Braves and now the Mariners. He's logged more than 2,500 minor-league plate appearances in eight seasons before making his big-league debut with the Braves last year. But he has a glove – he only allowed one passed ball in more than 500 innings with Triple-A Gwinnett last season. Option status: Three remaining.
Bats right, throws right, 6-2, 205
The former infielder didn't start working at catcher until he got into the White Sox farm system as a 23rd-round draft pick in 2011. He made his major-league debut when he arrived via trade with the Mariners in August, going 3-for-9 with a home run in the five games he appeared in. Option status: Three remaining
Joe DeCarlo: R-R, 5-10, 210: Was a third-baseman to start spring training last year. But was asked to switch to catcher. The 24-year-old hit .240/.346/.415 at Advanced-A Modesto.
Tuffy Gosewisch: R-R, 5-11, 200: One of the clubhouse favorites. The 34-year-old hit .229/.313/.351 in 85 games with Tacoma. Went 2-for-28 (.071) in 11 games with the Mariners. But in almost 600 chances between the two stops, only had two passed balls defensively.
Joe Odom: R-R, 6-2, 225: Was signed to a minor-league deal this offseason. Spent most of last year with Double-A Mississippi (Braves), hitting .266/.329/.359.

How hard is it to use voice authentication?
Unlike speech recognition applications, which can be frustrating when they do not understand you, using voice recognition is very natural. The actual user interface depends on the application itself. For example, you might say your name into a smart phone application to unlock your phone. A bank could require a customer to repeat a passphrase before gaining phone-based access to their accounts. Voice biometrics can also passively analyze ongoing conversations to identify speakers in real time, without any extra effort on the speaker's part.

The ERISA consultants at the Learning Center Resource Desk, which is available through Columbia Threadneedle Investments, regularly receive calls from financial advisors on a broad array of technical topics related to IRAs and qualified retirement plans. A recent call with an advisor in Massachusetts is representative of a common inquiry involving 401(k) plans and fee disclosure.
"My client, who has a 401(k) plan, timely distributed the plan's annual fee disclosure in the comparative chart format. The next month, an expense ratio changed for one of the designated investments under the plan. Must my client provide a new comparative chart to show the change?"
Highlights of Discussion
Pursuant to Department of Labor Reg. §2550.404a-5, plan sponsors must initially, and at least annually thereafter, disclose plan information and investment-related fee information to participants of 401(k) plans.
The investment-related fee information can be provided in a comparative chart format. Plan sponsors need only provide one comparative chart to participants and beneficiaries per year. If there is a change to a designated investment alternative's fee and expense information after the plan administrator has furnished the annual disclosure ("comparative chart") to participants and beneficiaries, the plan sponsor is not required to issue a second disclosure (Field Assistance Bulletin (FAB) 2012-02R, Q&A 22).
However, fee and expense information must be made available on a website (FAB 2012-02R, Q&As 17-19). Information made available on the website must be accurate and updated as soon as reasonably possible following a change (FAB 2012-02R, Q&A 19). The website also should reflect the date on which it was most recently updated.
Additionally, under extraordinary circumstances, the duties of prudence and loyalty under ERISA §404 may require the plan sponsor to inform participants and beneficiaries of important changes to investment-related information before the next comparative chart is required under the regulation (see 75 FR 64922, footnote 17 of the preamble to the final regulation).
Note that a description of changes to plan-related information must be distributed at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, in advance of the effective date of any change, unless the inability to provide such advance notice is due to events that were unforeseeable or circumstances beyond the control of the plan administrator, in which case notice of such change must be furnished as soon as reasonably practicable (DOL Reg. §2550.404a-5).
A plan sponsor need only provide the annual comparative chart that reflects its 401(k) plan's fee and expense information once per year, regardless of whether the information changes during the year. However, the coordinating website must reflect the most up-to-date fee information available.

As much as we'd all like to roll over and fall out of bed looking smokin' hot the day we fly out for a holiday, for many of us (myself included) it just doesn't happen that way. Instead of being envious of the VS models of the world, there's a few ways we can help ourselves to look our best for a holiday – in the departments of being bikini body ready, rocking a killer tan, and having ourselves primped and pampered and ready to go. So here it is! The very girly guide to getting ready for a holiday!
2 months before you go
After you've made your travel plans – booked the flights, booked the hotel, booked the tours, and planned your rough itinerary well in advance, it's time to crack down on that pre-holiday diet. It's never a good idea to jump onboard a fad diet to 'get slim' in 2 weeks or 2 days… so don't even go there. 8 weeks before you're jetsetting off on your adventure, think ahead to how you'd like to look in your bikini and start to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Never aim to lose kilos and see a certain number on the scales, just aim to tone and feel good about yourself FROM WITHIN.
1 month before you go
A month out you should start to feel the progress of living a healthier lifestyle, aiming to maintain all the hard work you've achieved. It's also time to start checking and re-checking travel plans to make sure you have everything sorted from visas to hotel accommodations, arrival transfers and activities to make your trip extra special.
2 weeks before you go
The countdown is on! This week you should book all your necessary appointments – hairdressers, waxing, tanning, nails… however much or little you desire. Be sure to time it all as best as possible – i.e. hairdressers a few days before, tan the day before, waxing 24 hours before you tan…. and so on and so forth.
7 days before you go
If you're aiming to look your best in a bikini, be sure to cut out carbs this week and eat plenty of proteins. Keep drinking plenty of water to maintain your fluids and up-the-anti on your cardio regime (preferably in the early mornings). Don't forget it's just as much about feeling good as it is looking good, so try and sneak in a peaceful afternoon walk or jog to clear your mind – the holiday is almost here!
Don't forget all your appointments this week – be sure to spoil yourself! Just as you've earned your holiday, you've earned these little indulgences to feel your very best!
The day before…
Triple check you've packed everything and don't forget to put those liquids in your checked baggage. Be sure to get a good night's rest before you fly out and spoil yourself by downloading a new album from itunes to listen to on the plane. I'm currently loving Beyonce!
Over to you – what are your beauty regime tips and tricks for getting ready to head overseas? Leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

I've learned a new approach in setting up an appointment on the voicemail. This workshop was absolutely eye opening! Moneymaking! Exciting!
I am a huge advocate of your program and would be pleased to be a reference for you. We have seen huge success in our prospecting over the last 4 months. Once we changed our structure, all the reps seemed to have had great improvement in their ability to make more meetings. Though we were slow to start, the KTG helped Cobb dramatically. We will continue to use the program and may engage you with a sight visit as time moves on to recharge our team. Again, many thanks!
Kate has her S*** together. C level meeting setting as an art, presented with style and confidence. She really has something that can help your reps get more C level meetings.
I highly recommend it. It has give me confidence to call c level people I feel like it helps set me apart from my competitors and places me in a position to sell more solutions.
Applied Imaging has used Kate Kingston's training to produce more appointments for our sales force. There has been a 25% increase in our monthly revenue. We have experienced a 50% increase in the weekly appointment's schedule. She taught us time management and appointment closing techniques. I recommend Kate without reservation.
I was at 33% of plan before my training with KTG, after her knowledge and expertise, I'm now at 155% of quota of which 45% is net new business.
Being a tenured an employee (18 yrs.) I know changes have to be made along with our changing times. Since our initial meeting I have improved (I had 4 appointments last week and 2 sales). I am very pleased with this training and look forward to much more guided victory.

Raising Awareness
Raising Awareness
Each and every day provides unique opportunities to spread awareness of sleep and sleep disorders, a challenge that many of our member-volunteers zealously accept. Whether one has spent a week or many years struggling with an undiagnosed sleep disorder, they can help spread the word about sleep and sleep disorders ranging from quality of life issues to safety and health risks.
Raising awareness usually begins in small but important ways. Mention your diagnosis in conversations with the people you encounter day to day. Each person you educate has the potential to spread the message to all the people they know.
While knowledge and awareness among medical professionals have increased in recent years, there's still a long way to go. Surprisingly, many people don't discuss sleep with their physicians, and most physicians don't ask.
It's important to have a basic understanding of the more common sleep disorders. The National Sleep Foundation and Talk About Sleep websites, and others, offer comprehensive information about sleep and sleep disorders.
While Narcolepsy Network primarily serves people with narcolepsy, we encourage our members to approach the topic of sleep as broadly as possible in raising awareness. Many groups seek speakers for their meetings, from Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs to AARP chapters, schools, and social groups. There are also regional meetings of professionals, from neurologists to family practitioners and school nurses that can benefit from increased knowledge of sleep disorders. Or, consider scheduling a talk on Sleep and Sleep Disorders at your local public library or writing an article for your local newspaper.
Our annual conference includes workshops on how to raise awareness in your community. We hope you can join us!
Want to connect with another member who is more experienced in increasing sleep awareness? Contact us.
School Awareness
Narcolepsy onset typically occurs during the adolescent years. Excessive daytime sleepiness is usually the first symptom to present and will be most pronounced during periods of physical inactivity. Where else but school do you find adolescents and teens inactive for long periods during the day? This makes school the most important place to screen for narcolepsy in order to promote early recognition leading to diagnosis.
Thus was born Narcolepsy Network's awareness brochure, Narcolepsy in the Classroom. We have sent this brochure to over 8000 school nurses throughout the US but we've just scratched the surface. There are over 17,500 school districts in the US, each with multiple schools, and thousands of private schools to reach. You can help by providing a copy of our brochure to school nurses, guidance counselors, and other key administrators at your local schools. We have also prepared a list of Fast Facts for handy reference when discussing this brochure with school personnel.
Click on the links below to save, download and/or print this brochure today!
The Dream Quilt
Sleep activist and NN member Michelle Hemingway combined her creative and artistic talents with a desire to increase sleep awareness by developing a project called The Dream Quilt. Members of the sleep community – professionals and patients alike – designed and donated the squares that make up each quilt. Since that time, we have made two additional quilts from 2016 and 2017. These quilts will be displayed at the SLEEP meeting, medical association conferences, and anywhere else that NN travels, including to member's communities upon request. If you are interested in contributing to the quilt, email Melissa Patterson.

Sponsorship is vital to the future of our Club. We have been supported by AGA Rangemaster and Nike for many years and their continued support is extremely important to us. More recently some companies have sponsored our junior talent and specific athletes in the run up to the 2012 Olympics.
We receive no support from the Governing body of the sport and therefore rely on our membership fees and additional income we can raise to continue to be at the top of the sport. If you would like to work with us and our athletes in the future there are a number of options from individual athlete support to the sponsoring one of our development programmes.
If you would like to discuss how you could get involved with the Club please contact our Commercial Manager, Cath Muth via our office 0121 344 4858 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Motor Supply was the first restaurant to open in the revamped Vista district – a couple of decades in the business has only strengthened its reputation as a great place for a casually upscale meal. Menus change twice daily but usually include a grilled steak or two plus dishes such as house-brined pork chops, Dijon-fried eggplant over spinach and artichoke hearts, steamed mussels, and sautéed shrimp with ham and grits. Their wine list has garnered a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and their Sunday brunch is among the best in town.
Ruth's Chris Steak House is proud to call Columbia, the beautiful capitol city of South Carolina, home. Ruth's Chris Steak House in Columbia is located in the heart of the city near the historic University of South Carolina, and one block from the South Carolina State House. The energetic and friendly personality of the city provides the perfect backdrop to the upscale American steak house dining experience at Ruth's Chris.
Pawley's made an appearance on "Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives!" This burger joint features specials each week. Don't miss out on an opportunity to eat from their food truck, which was voted Best Food Truck in Columbia in 2014! Come as you are, pull a seat up next to the bar, and devour!
Solstice Kitchen & Wine Bar is ideal for a business dinner or a date – when you want to impress, this is a fantastic choice. The menu has a little something for everyone, with starters, small plates, and full-size main courses. Standouts have included pan-seared scallops in preserved lemon-sage brown butter with spinach-walnut ravioli, a petit filet mignon with fried green tomato, goat cheese and bacon-tomato confit, whiskey-brined double pork chop, and lobster risotto. The wine list is extensive, and has earned the restaurant a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Numerous by-the-glass options.
Fresh, local, and diverse. Here, the menu changes daily based off of what is fresh and seasonal. Offering a blend of contemporary American, French, Italian, and Asian cuisine, this is one place you'll want to grab lunch or dinner ASAP.
Yelp: 4 stars, 140 reviews One of the first restaurants to help revamp the Vista district, Motor Supply has been building a great reputation and has become part of the backbone of this neighborhood since they opened their doors in 1989. The menu includes a great mix of American, French, Italian, and Asian cuisine and changes almost daily, so you know they're not kidding when they say they're fresh. You'll usually be able to find a great grilled steak or house-brined pork chops, neither of which you should miss out on. The cocktails are the real highlight here, though, which is saying something. They were recently voted as having the best cocktails in town, which is instantly believable once you watch mixologist Josh do his job.
Yelp: 4 stars, 40 reviews The best pizza joint award is a highly-coveted but usually highly-controversial title. Although pizza is universally loved, the crust just ends up being one of those things that rarely works as one-size-fits all. But Dano's comes pretty close, which is how they get the crown for best pizza in columbia
Just like pineapple on pizza or chicken and waffles, contrasting and unconventional food combinations often provide some of the greatest food experiences. Cinnamon and raisins may not sound like the best flavors to make a bagel out of, but the end product is a sweet, yet grainy combination that makes my mouth happy.
Yelp: 5 stars, 8 reviews Mobile bratwursts. It's like a million people's dreams all got simultaneously answered in one big swoop of the food truck. The main cook is a German-trained master-chef. The Brats are cooked to a perfect pop, and the sides are cooked using only local foods. If what they want to make is something that they can't find in that particular region someday, then they decide on making something new instead of settling for sub-par ingredients. Check their Facebook account frequently to keep a running tab on where they are so that you never have to miss them when they're nearby.
We love food! We especially love the incredible flavors that come out of the Cajun and Creole traditions of Louisiana and Mississippi. From the rustic, hearty dishes of Acadian descent, to the refined Creole recipes that find their roots in classic French cooking, and everything in between, we attempt to bring that spirit to every dish we create.
The signature Ruth's Chris sizzle is in full evidence at this respected chain's Columbia outpost. Notable for prime steaks, upscale decor, elegant but relaxed ambience, first-rate service, and an impressive wine list, the restaurant is ideal for business dinners and special occasions. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu, from shrimp cocktail and crab-stuffed mushrooms to broiled rib-eyes or chocolate sin cake. An exceptional meal from start to finish.
Out of all the restaurants in a city, 10Best narrows the options to those places with the most appeal and the best reputations. We offer carefully vetted selections to let you explore Columbia dining on your own. If time is really tight, though, and you don't have the leisure to look through all our offerings, we present our Columbia Best Restaurants list. Here, we distill the best businesses down to a special selection of ten. These places promise a stellar experience and a taste of the city that you just can't miss.
Yelp: 4 out of 5 stars on Yelp with 125 reviews You can find a steak almost anywhere. The problem is, you can't find a good steak just anywhere. So, when a cut of beef is up for order tonight, then you're going to want to know where to go. And that's the Blue Marlin. Half surf, half turf, this modestly classy restaurant serves up much more than the beef. The shrimp and grits are a favorite order, and keep your eyes out of the sesame-encrusted tuna or the salmon pontchartrain. You'll also find fire-roasted chicken and pasta dishes here, ensuring you'll be able to talk anyone into coming here, since there's something for everyone.
I've been to this location several times and have always enjoyed myself. The staff is very knowledgeable and always makes great suggestions for dinner. My most recent server paired fantastic wines with our dinner. He was very attentive and funny. – Lisa S. (Yelp)

Blue Marlin is the first ocean-to-plate sustainable restaurant in Columbia, and is a must-try for seafood lovers. Situated in a former train station in the heart of the Vista, Blue Marlin takes its historical roots seriously; its cooking is inspired by the flavours of Cajun, Creole and Low Country cuisine, which in turn has influences from the African, West Indian and Caribbean traditions brought over by the slaves who worked on the plantations. These include their award-winning signature dish, Blue Marlin shrimp and grits, served with Andouille sausage and gravy. Other highlights include oyster and shrimp skillet Bienville, and salmon Pontchartrain, served with blackened shrimp, scallops, mornay sauce and grits cakes. This is the true flavour of the South.

I'm usually skeptical when I go out for Italian food in places south of NYC, but I was pleasantly surprised! We will add this spot to our list of restaurants when we come back to Columbia for next year's Masters.
Don't you hate dragging yourself out of bed to start the day only to find that there are none of your preferred bagels left? Well, since there are so many cinnamon raisin bagels haters out there, they are always going to be available for you to eat and enjoy. So hop on the bandwagon and never have a disappointing breakfast ordering experience again!
The reason this is number one is that I typically end up having to ask "Do you want cream and sugar in that?" and usually the response is something rude and stuck up back like I am supposed to be a mind reader. This irritates me as there is no reason to be rude. Either tell me everything you want in your coffee OR DO NOT BE RUDE. Okay? Thanks.
Do you really want to be basic and get the same bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain or sesame bagel that everyone else gets? Cinnamon raisin bagels offer a chance for you to be unique and to maybe experiment with some new breakfast combinations that will spice up your morning and give you something to talk about with all your friends!
Our bar currently boasts over 350 whiskeys, most of which are bourbon, rye or Tennessee whisky. We also have a growing collection of whiskeys from other countries like Scotland, Ireland, Japan and Canada.

If you don't see something on the list that strikes your fancy, just let your bartender know what you're in the mood for. They may ask you a couple questions to narrow it down, but they'll most likely be able to craft a cocktail to your liking without any problem.
Housed in a carefully renovated historic VFW officers club, augmented with an 1800s mahogany bar and a gorgeous 1915 Schomacker grand piano, Saluda's is elegant and sophisticated. The chefs focus on Southern and Continental dishes, frequently tweaking favorites for a more modern presentation. Try oysters Rockefeller bruschetta, fried green tomatoes with goat cheese and a balsamic reduction, seared scallops with tomato-saffron sauce and white truffle risotto, or blackened chicken with SC peach and honey marmalade. Perfect for a swanky Sunday brunch, too.
Southern cooking has a few trademark dishes, and Mr. Friendly's, under the same ownership as Solstice and Gervais & Vine, excels with a more upscale, occasionally innovative version of the classics. Crab cakes are pecan-crusted and served with fried dill pickles and sherry-cayenne mayo, a grilled filet mignon is wrapped in bacon and topped with pimiento cheese, and blackened chicken comes with either tasso ham sauce or Creole andouille sauce. Waits attest to the popularity of the place, but never fear – a microbrew or glass of wine from the award-winning list will help pass the time.
American Cuisine featuring locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, Oak Table serves lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Walk on in and have a seat in this restaurant make of recycled wood from a 19th century log cabin. Reserve a private room or have a seat in the open dining area with a view of the kitchen.
The food is always good. A little variety on the vegetables that come with entrees would help. Seems a lot of the menu items all come with the same vegetabes. If you don't like brussel sprouts, that limits your choices. I'm sure you can probably substitute. The pizza is great.
Yelp: 4 stars, 129 reviews Beer lovers could make the Flying Saucer their own little micro-community and probably never need to leave its comforts ever again. This super-friendly, come-as-you-are gastropub puts a modern twist on standard bar fare. Try the nachos tapas to see for yourself just how big of a punch a smaller portion can make here. The European influences here won't go unnoticed. From the food to the décor, it's the main theme here at Flying Saucer. Brats, goat cheeses, soft pretzels, and loaded frites are just some of the options you'll be anxious to dive into, along with a smorgasbord of imported beers.
For some of the freshest seafood and best atmosphere around, try Pearlz Oyster Bar. This rustic restaurant serves up a mix of shellfish and local seafood, and is part of the Sustainable Seafood Initiative. The raw bar offers a range of oyster varieties, including Low country and Gulf oysters, while the rest of the menu consists of all manner of seafood concoctions, including tuna tartar, steamed mussels and oyster sliders. Pearlz is also famed for its signature oyster shooters; Pearlz Black Pepper Vodka, oysters and cocktail sauce. It also has its own line of award-winning draft beers, the TBonz Homegrown Ales, which are the perfect accompaniment to the spicy peel-and-eat shrimp. There's also a jazz and blues music lounge upstairs, perfect for post-dinner drinks.
Yelp: 4.5 stars, 64 reviews Head to the heart of Five Points where you'll find Saluda's, an elegant dining experience that consistently aims to provide unparalleled food and service. You'll find an 1800s mahogany bar and a 1915 grand piano to perfectly accompany the crisp lines and white table cloths. Arguably the best shrimp and grits in town, and hands down the best sweet tea pork chops you'll ever bite into anywhere, Saluda's menu will have you on the edge of your seat as you venture through one delectable course after another. And definitely don't miss out on the swankiest Sunday brunch in town.
Bourbon is a whiskey bar and Cajun-Creole restaurant located just steps from the South Carolina State Capitol building at 1214 Main Street in the historic Brennen Building (1869). We specialize in bourbon, whiskey, craft cocktails and the flavors of the Louisiana Bayou. We currently have the largest whiskey list in SC, with everything from Angels Envy to Van Winkle, as well as Irish, Scotch, and Japanese Whiskies!

Barbecue is a central part of South Carolina life, and one of the best places to try it out is Little Pigs Barbecue. Serving a huge range of barbecue, ribs, brisket, pork chops, chicken wings and many more home-cooked dishes, using three different styles of barbecue marinade, the food is consistently tasty, with that unmistakable hickory smoked flavour. No wonder it is regularly cited as the best barbecue in Columbia, with a handful of awards to its name.
Yelp: 4.5 stars, 16 reviews When you're in the mood for some creative and delicious comfort food, but really don't feel like making the commute downtown, head to Forest Acres where you'll find the Tombo Grille, the premium restaurant in the area. Start off with the fried Brussel sprouts. Trust me. Regardless of how you feel about the vegetable, I promise you won't leave one behind. Then move onto any one of the varieties of intricate pizzas with a bottle of wine to wash it all down or a high gravity beer. And leave some room for the dessert menu, because chance are no matter how full you are here, you will keep eating.
Experimenting with new sauces, rubs, and toppings every day, Southern Belly BBQ is sure to hit the spot and leave you wanting to try more unique creations. Make a pit stop here on your way to Williams Brice Stadium for some Carolina football and pick up some yum for all! Be prepared for your tailgate to be the talk of the town!

This is more for Dunkin'. Because hash browns, in reality, take the longest for us to get ready. So please when ordering don't ask for them at the window, please order at the speaker. We don't mind cooking them last minute but its inconvenient for you and our time.
Providing the perfect balance between comfort food and a nutritious meal, Di Prato's is one of the most delicious lunch/brunch spots in Columbia! Although they'll feed you plenty, you'll be wanting more! Take some pimento cheese to-go!
Yelp: 4 stars, 71 reviews What happens when a Tex-Mex lover marries a Korean foodie? The Blue Cactus Café, that's what. This Tex-Mex/Korean barbecue fusion restaurant is a unique gem in Columbia's trendy Five Points district. Spawning such creations as kimchi burritos and red bean ice cream, Blue Cactus has been offering something different, delicious, and always fun to locals since the mid-90s. The kimchi is always fresh and extra spicy, the bi bam bap is authentic, and the spicy pork is something you simply have to experience. Don't come if you're in a rush, though. Everything here is made to order and extra care goes into making each dish just right.
Gervais & Vine is a trendy spot offering dozens of by-the-glass wines, a broad array of beers, and a fine selection of single malts and other liquors. Satiate hunger with a few of the 30 or so hot and cold tapas, such as seared scallops,… Read More
I love this place. It has been some years since I have been here, as I have lived out of the area for the last 10 years, but it is still as delightful as always. Excellent food, excellent wine and excellent service. Always a pleasure.
Our bar focuses on whiskey…bourbon in particular…and craft cocktails. We currently present over 350 bourbons, ryes and various American whiskeys, a couple dozen Scotch, Irish and other whiskeys, as well as a dozen absinthe bottles. Our craft cocktail list contains around twenty cocktails, mostly classic, along with a few of our own creations.
Yelp: 4.5 stars, 17 reviews There isn't an appetizer to be found at Henry's that isn't good. From the spinach dip to the hush puppies, you'll think you died and went to bar food heaven. But considering that Henry's sells tapas plates, it would be more notable to mention the things on the menu which aren't good. So far, that list is zero lines long. But definitely don't leave without ordering one of the burgers, as they're among the best in town. Try to order something new every once in a while, though, because once you start eating here, the burgers are going to be a hard habit to break. And ordering a bacon double-cheeseburger for breakfast just doesn't seem logical – even by my standards.
The signature Ruth's Chris sizzle is in full evidence at this respected chain's Columbia outpost. Notable for prime steaks, upscale decor, elegant but relaxed ambience, first-rate service, and an impressive wine list, the restaurant is ideal for… Read More
">Columbia, which isn't really that hard to do since when it comes to students, pizza might as well be the holy grail. Although it's not exactly thin crust, it's as close to a NY-style crust you'll find in Columbia, nice and crisp, with just the perfect amount of sauce to cheese ratio on top. Dano's delivers, too, for those nights when pajamas and Netflix sounds more appealing than dressing up and dining out.

This module continues to explain leadership theory and an academic view of leadership. It is a testament to understanding leadership in a simultaneously personal and removed sense. Students discuss contingency theories and transformational leadership. Again, discovery should be organic for students. Over and above the mechanics of each approach, discussion should focus on the viability, applications, and implications of each theory/model.

It's quite possible that you've heard people use the phrase "web page hosting" in the past, but you do not know what the term means. Hosting is when a company provides servers to people where they can upload and create their very own webpage. If you want to know how you can benefit from web hosting, keep reading for solid advice about web hosting.
Find out what kind of sites your web host offers. Some free hosting sites don't allow you to add your own scripts to the static pages they offer. If you require a page with dynamic scripting, it may be in your best interest to opt for hosting on a paid server.
You need to decide whether you should select shared or dedicated hosting best suits your needs. If your site is very large, with a high volume of traffic, shared hosting might limit your ability to expand and meet the needs of your customers adequately. It is probably a good idea to look for a web host that is dedicated.
Look up backup host sites if you run into unfavorable services of a web host. If you decide you can't handle the problems with your service, you'll be ready to move quickly meaning less interruption to your site.
Web Host
When looking for a web host, pick a company that resides where your target audience is located. For example, if your target audience is in France, then you should choose a web host that has a data center in Ireland.
You should ask about security measures of any web hosts. In this society, websites can be exposed to attacks and other risks, and there are various possible threats. Be sure your host has procedures to deal with common threats like DDoS attacks. You should inquire about the potential hazards to your website if the host is under attack.
Are you stuck between choosing between a free hosting service and a place to put your new website? If you don't back up your own data, a problem with the site could result in substantial data loss.
If security is important for your website, you need to consider paying a larger amount of money for secure server certificates.
Use this information to tweak the way that you change aspects of your website to attract more customers.
Check to see if the host you money back guarantee. If at some point during the first 30 days after signing up you become unhappy with the service, you should be able to cancel it. Not every web host is as good as what they advertise.
If you are new to designing websites, go for a web host that offers great customer service rather than a lot of bells and whistles. As someone who is new to the field, you'll find yourself with a lot of questions that a good host can help you answer. You will get a lot more from their technical support versus the applications that other companies may offer.
Try to talk to other users of a host to see what they think on forums. These chats will also increase your confidence in a good company. Customers who currently use the hosting service will give you the best information.
Try using a host that includes SEO features to improve traffic. These features ensure that your website is automatically registered with popular search engines.
Web Host
Check out the site of your possible web host. A site that is badly designed website is a definite red flag for a hosting company.A well-thought out and nice looking site gives an appearance that any web host knows how to design a website well.
Shortly put, web hosting gives people use of a company's servers so that they can create a website and have a place to store all the files. The intent of this article is to help you understand how hosting works and how to use its resources successfully.

Air NZ Wine Awards, awards, Christopher Luxon, grapegrowing, Guala Closures, Lake Chalice Marlborough Pinot Gris 2013, Michael Brajkovich, Nautilus Cuvée Brut NV, Nautilus Estate, New Zealand, New Zealand Winegrowers, O-I New Zealand, Rabobank, Sparkling wine, viticulture, wine, winemaker, winemaking
A SPARKLING WINE from Marlborough has received top honours at this year's Air New Zealand Wine Awards, making it the third sparkling wine in the award's 27-year history to take out the coveted prize.
The Nautilus Cuvée Brut NV was awarded the prestigious Air New Zealand champion wine of show at the gala dinner held in Queenstown at the weekend.
It also won the Wineworks champion sparkling wine trophy.
Chair of judges and master of wine Michael Brajkovich described the wine to the 520 guests as having a "richness, length and complexity on the palate which finishes with a fine, persistent acidity".
"This is a classic expression of this exciting wine style and a clear pointer as to how good New Zealand Sparkling wine already is, and can be in the future," Brajkovich said.
Nautilus Estate is a small, family-owned Marlborough winery which began its operation in 1985.
The Nautilus Cuvée Brut NV is made from Marlborough-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes and has become an iconic sparkling on the New Zealand wine scene since its launch in 1989.
It has won a number of awards throughout the years including trophies at the Sydney International Wine Competition and the Royal Easter Wine Show.
The Marlborough region received further recognition with five other trophies including the Lake Chalice Marlborough Pinot Gris 2013 which was awarded both the Guala Closures NZ champion Pinot Gris trophy and the new world champion open white wine trophy.
The second highest accolade of the evening – the O-I New Zealand reserve wine of the show – was awarded to the Villa Maria Reserve Hawke's Bay Chardonnay 2012.
This wine also took away the Rabobank New Zealand limited champion Chardonnay trophy.
In addition to the 16 trophies, there were 50 pure elite gold medals and one elite gold medal awarded.
Pinot Noir won the highest number of pure elite gold medals with 11, followed by Chardonnay with eight and Sauvignon Blanc with seven.
Marlborough wines scooped the highest number of pure elite gold medals with 22, followed by Hawke's Bay with 14, and Otago with seven.
Sustainability was a continuing trend at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards with 96 per cent of wines entered being sustainably accredited, compared with 92 per cent in 2012.
Sustainable wines are produced from grapes which have been accredited or certified through an independently audited sustainability program.
The winemaking and packaging facilities used must also be accredited or certified.
Air New Zealand chief executive officer Christopher Luxon said sustainability is an increasingly important factor within the industry.
"It is superb that the country's winemakers are also taking a leadership role within the environmental space," he added.
Organised and owned by New Zealand Winegrowers, the Air New Zealand Wine Awards competition is well known for its rigorous judging process.
It is considered the country's most prestigious wine competition and is regarded as the official competition of the New Zealand wine industry.

Michael Kopech is striking out 14 batters per nine innings in double-A ball this season for the Birmingham Barons. Chris Sale is striking out just under 13 batter per nine innings at the highest level for the Red Sox. The difference between the two, besides the levels of play, is the fact that Kopech is almost as likely to walk you as strike you out while Sale is barely averaging a walk per start.
We know what kind of arm Kopech has. If he were to get the call up tomorrow he'd already be one of the hardest throwers in the game. But that's just what he is right now: a thrower. He can strike out a billion batters this season but if he's walking a guy per inning it won't matter.
It's not unusual for a pitcher born in 1996 to have control issues. Some seasoning in the minors can easily help Kopech throw more strikes which will make his electric pitches even more deadly. However, he needs much more than a slight improvement in the control department to make his hay as a starting pitcher in the Bigs.
The comp everyone jumps to with Kopech is Noah Syndergaard. Now challenging Clayton Kershaw for the title of most dominating pitcher in the game, Syndergaard never had the outlandish control issues that Kopech does. While in the minors Thor hovered around 2-3 walks per nine innings. After four starts in 2017, Kopech is at seven walks per nine. That's too many. That may be indicative of a bullpen arm rather than a top of the rotation starter.
