I. In Focus This Week
Lifelong passion for process leads to elections job
At 21, William Nesbitt takes charge of Danville, Ill. elections
While most college seniors are busy making plans for spring break first and graduation and life after college second, University of Illinois, Springfield senior William Nesbitt has his mind on other things.
Nesbitt is planning to conduct his first election as the director of elections for Danville, Illinois.
Nesbitt, 21, officially started on January 20 and has been busy at work since day one.
"I got so excited last week when we first got our ballots," Nesbitt said. "I like that am I able to see the progress towards each election from start to finish. Being the executive director of the Danville Election Commission is a very unique type of public service."
Nesbitt may not be the youngest ever, or even currently the youngest chief election official in the country, but for him, applying for the Danville job wasn't about being the youngest, it was about working in his community and doing a job he knew he could.
"The main reason I applied for the job was because I felt like I had the qualifications to do the job," Nesbitt said. "I am also from the Danville area and I wanted to be able to stay in the community. I love this community and I thought this would be a perfect fit for me."
Nesbitt wasn't even sure if he was going to get the job or not when he applied, but in addition to a passion for the process, he knew he had at least one thing going for him.
"I previously worked in the Illinois House of Representatives and was able to get two letters of recommendation, one from a Republican and one from a Democrat," Nesbitt said. "That showed that I have the ability to work with anyone."
The commissioners that hired Nesbitt are confident in his ability to get the job done.
"This is a pretty complex job, and this is a person who is ready for that," Commissioner Bar Bailey told The News Gazette. "He's a young man with lots of energy and lots of enthusiasm. I think it's going to work well."
So far, other than the delicate balance of juggling 17 credit hours of college coursework and a 40+-hour per week job, Nesbitt said things are going well.
He said he's spent a lot time learning the election code and about all the various equipment that the elections office uses. He said he was genuinely surprised about the vast array of technology that the office uses. He noted that working in the elections office is different every day and that keeps him excited about coming to work each morning.
And he's enjoyed getting to know his colleagues.
"The best part, so far, has been working with the staff in the office," Nesbitt said. "There are two other employees in the office and they have been wonderful to work with. We are a great team together and I think we will provide the best service to the voters of Danville."
While he is busy learning the established system and practices and policies in the elections office he's already thinking ahead to future including purchasing new voting machines — like many jurisdictions the city's machines are about 10 years old — purchasing more e-pollbooks and making voter-friendly advances to the elections website.
He's also looking forward to engaging more of his peers in the process. Millennials have a reputation of not voting and Nesbitt his hoping to change that.
"Sometimes, voters my age do not think about how government affects them personally. I have been going to local high schools and our local community college to educate them about the electoral process," Nesbitt said. "I think interaction is a great way to get voters my age involved."
As for Nesbitt, he has always had a passion for the elections process.
"It [registering to vote] was the first thing I did when I turned 18. I have grown up in a household that has always stressed the importance of being educated about elections and who is running," Nesbitt said.
He fondly recalls going to the polls with his father when he was a child and his dad showing him the ballot and talking to him about candidates.
It was also his dad who made his first voting experience extra special.
"The first time I voted was in March of 2012 and my father, Chuck Nesbitt, was actually on the ballot running for the Vermilion County Board," Nesbitt said. "So, my very first voting experience is very memorable for me because I was able to vote for my dad and he ended up winning the election."

Frequently Asked Questions
Students interested in becoming REFS
How many hours do I need to commit each week to be a REF?
REFs work are largely self driven. Hours vary greatly from week to week, and can be as little as 0 hours or as much as > 5 hours. On average, current REFs indicate that the average time commitment is ~5 hours/week or less.
Must I undergo any training to be a REF?
Students interested in becoming REFS are required expected to attend a 40 hours (Tier 3) conflict management training session. More information about the availability and details of the trainings are available here. Specifically, Conflict Management Trainings are conducted during IAP, Summer, and in Fall semesters.

Punta Allen, Mexico is a small fishing village on the Caribbean cost of the Yucatan Peninsula. Located about 40 km south of Tulum it is accessible by bus (colectivo) or car. Punta Allen is an off-the-beaten-path destination and considered one of the remaining few unspoiled spots along the Caribbean coast. Punta Allen is located within the Si'an Kaan biosphere which is the largest protected area in the Mexican Caribbean. Expect to see many species of birds, mammals and turtles. There are only around 400 residents in Punta Allen, mostly fishermen, so the town has a sleepy, tranquil feel to it.
Punta Allen is a popular day-trip destination, but there are a few hotels in Punta Allen if you wish to spend the night. Be sure to bring cash, as there are not ATM's or Internet cafés. Electricity is usually on from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to midnight

China's drop in oil demand is "warning sign'"
Experts fear that the significant drop in China's oil demand in July is a warning sign that the country will not buoy up global demand as quickly, as market participants had expected.
Eugen Weinberg, head of commodity research at Commerzbank, says the news of China's slowing demand should be seen as a "warning sign".
"All the hopes for an increase in oil demand were pinned on China, so this will be a negative surprise," says Weinberg. "US and European oil demand is dropping, so hopes for rising d

Like the Holy Spirit, Jon Warden comes alongside the broken-hearted and takes down our defensive and unhealthy thoughts that hinder us from recognizing Jesus Christ's work in us. As insightful as it is applicable, Resisting Grace teaches us how to examine our hearts and work with, not against, the Holy Spirit. A book to be read, shared, and read again and again as we grow and mature.

Grace isn't on the surfacePosted by Jon Ido Warden under receiving grace, resisting
Leave a Comment
Psalm 42:7 says, "Deep calls unto deep."
One of my favorite old time theologians is Watchman Nee. He commented on this Psalm saying, "Only a call from the depths can provoke a response from the depths. Nothing shallow can ever touch the depths, nor can anything superficial touch the inward parts. Only the deep will respond to the deep."
I am starting a new men's group focusing on Redeeming our faith, culture and manhood. I have loved doing this group. Men who have gone through this group are very dear to my heart. The first forty days are of deep introspection where the men examine their relationships to family of origin, the major culture they live in, the culture of their heritage, women, other men, themselves and God. It is a forty day introspective spiritual boot camp. I challenge them to stick with it and go deep. We don't live in a world that relates to one another deeply. Not even in the church sad to say. It is uncomfortable and threatening to be vulnerable. These forty days also uses spiritual/emotional/mental muscles we are not use to. I give much grace to the men as they start up but I keep the challenge on top of them. If you don't go deep, you're not going to get very far.
I ask them to answer this question before one another: How do you feel about getting so naked before these men? The challenge is to get real. The equation I set before them is Real Men + Real God = Real Life.
I end with the study of the man with the withered hand in Mark 3. Jesus said two things to him: "Rise and come forward" and "stretch out your hand". Pretty much put it out there dude.
The process of Jesus meeting our needs through grace is:
He unpacked our woundedness…be brave and open yourself
He exposes our compromised solutions… be brave and surrender
He meets our needs in deeper ways… be brave and go deep
He provides support and accountability…be brave and get help
Receive his grace or resist it. That's what we do.

Understanding grace is a life-long journey where we too often settle for simple directions. Instead, Resisting Grace offers a high-definition map that powerfully combines scriptural truths with the moving personal testimony of the author. His struggle to understand the Father's grace in his own challenging life and in his ministry as a professional counselor brings greater dimensionality and real feelings to our grace journey reading this book.

Grace is unpredictable but totally reliablePosted by Jon Ido Warden under brokenness and grace, receiving grace
Leave a Comment
After a conversation with a gentleman from my home church it got me thinking. He asked me how's my lungs. I told him how there has been improvement because I haven't had any set backs for 18 months or so. He told me he asked because he hasn't heard my cough in service this winter, Apparently, my cough is distinctive enough (and loud enough) to be recognized. It was such an unexpected affirmation and encouragement. My lungs has suffered many a rough winters. Over fifteen winters have past since half my lungs scarred up from my connective tissue disorder. And winters have been the hardest. For ways I cannot in any means understand, grace has been granted for this season of my journey. I am grateful.
Reflecting on this moment (actually while I was in the shower) what came to me was that grace is unpredictable but totally reliable. I can't put God's work of grace in my life into a box or a formula for my desired outcome. It is completely mysterious. It does not guarantee that my body will hold up. No more than it guarantee someone a spouse or a nice paying job or a trouble free life. Saints with more faith than you or I have lived with broken bodies, singleness, poverty and great travail. What they knew though is that grace was there in their brokenness, loneliness, hunger and pain. Sometimes there appears relief in those areas. That is grace. But many times grace enters in rather than removes.
Though God's grace is unpredictable, it is totally reliable. Growing in my relationship with the living God has shown me that I cannot know how grace will fall upon me. I just know that it will. Faith is my assurance in not what is seen but in whom I trust.
My old friend and I have had a long dialog that has covered several years on whether God is involved in the details of our lives, if at all. It is only in experiencing His Grace can we be assured. Not by the external signs of our lives but by the Spirit of God that works within us the knowledge of our connection with the Living God.
I am grateful for the improvements in my lungs but I am completely surrender to whatever His Grace gives and choose to rejoice always.

To twist a quote from the book, "this is the book people have been looking for; it is a book that can free them from that which bound them for years", an incomplete understanding of God's grace. Through his tours as pastor, academician, counselor and now as author, Jon empowers God's people toward radical grace. Each page, personal thought and written line represents a God-inspired work or reference all brought together in one book. I can't wait to share this book with friends.

Monday Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) criticized Republican presidential candidate, former Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Ben Carson saying he believes a Muslim would not be qualified to be president.
Sanders said, "This is the year 2015. For a long, long time in the history of America, there were people saying, 'You know, we don't want a Catholic to be President of the United States.' And then John F. Kennedy became president in 1960. And then people saying, 'Oh, we don't want a black guy, an African-American to be president of the United States,' and then finally Barack Obama became president of the United States."
He continued, "Look, you judge candidates for president not on their religion, not on the color of their skin, but on their ideas on what they stand for. That's what democracy is supposed to be about. So I was very disappointed in Dr. Carson's statement and I disagree with him."

Best Vinyl Wood Plank Flooring That You Can Set for All Room Types
The vinyl wood plank flooring can be applied to all rooms in the house. This floor has variant colors, started from the dark to the bright. It gives wide choice for people to choose the best for their rooms. After deciding what the theme in your room, it is the time for choosing the best floor. The floor can influence the appearance of the room and the lighting system. Due to these reasons, the owner must think carefully about their beautiful floor plan.
Bright Floor Plans as Clean Image
The function of the bright floor is reflecting the light from the lamp or sunlight. The room with this flooring style needs simple furniture designs because it will express the tidiness. Besides, the modern and colorful interior models will support this flooring.
From the pictures above, we can see how living room and open room are decorated. In the living room, some soft shabby sofas with wooden legs are standing next to the wall. It is matching with the bench in the corner of the room. It has large space among these interior designs. It lets the floor reflects the sunlight which enters the room through the windows. Another photo shows bright yellow floor in the modern open room. This room looks spacious with bright flooring and minimalist interior models.
In the following pictures, we get the examples of the modern rooms with vinyl wood plank flooring. This room has adequate lighting from the big glass windows. These are frosted windows so that they do not need a curtain to cover. Furthermore, the recent interior designs are applied in these rooms. These are perfect room decorations.
Dark Floor for Creating Warm Atmosphere
We can see clearly from the photos above that shabby and black flooring designs can be combined with modern room ideas. Usually, this flooring is suitable for the modern kitchen. This floor is matched with wooden furniture styles such as wood table and wood cabinet. Some of them are painted in brown and white. From these pictures, we are sure that dark floor is matching with white wall.
In the last pictures, drive us to rooms with the dark brown floor. It proves that these floors are nice for all rooms to include a bathroom. Look at the bathroom. This powder space is beautiful with a combination of white interior designs and that floor. Due to this floor will damage because of the water, the shower space is separated with a transparent glass wall.

You can barely see Lizzy Hargrove's home from the street. In her 13 years living there, she has been turning it into a botanical paradise.
Her 85-year-old Heights home was originally Vitanza's grocery store, wrote former Houston Chronicle home design editor Madeleine McDermott Hamm in a 1998 article. Artist Jeff Law bought the abandoned corner property in 1997. He renovated the commercial building and made it his home.
Law briefly rented the house to TV journalist Linda Ellerbee.
A former fashion model who later worked at a nonprofit serving the homeless, Hargrove said her mission after moving in was to create "an enchanted forest."
"Jeff Law began the original plantings. I just keep adding and could not stop," she said. "A lot of it has to do with my history and being an only child and, now, a bit of a hermit."
The house is her "maze, labyrinth or green jungle," she said. "There are more lizards than I can count. I feed squirrels, possums and a whole variety of bird life."
Landscaper Freddie Martinez takes care of the yard.
She describes her house as a "last bastion….It feels like a cabin in the woods."
She shares her cabin with 10 birds, five cats, two freeway rescue dogs and a goose named Honker.
She has a small pond in the backyard for Honker and some frogs.
Honker is a big attraction in the neighborhood, she said. "People want their picture taken with him."
Bonus pics from Lizzy's house:

Most arctic foxes in this region make their habitat in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve 14 kilometers (nine miles) northwest of the center of Ísafjörður, but it would not be unheard of to spot them elsewhere along the coastline if you've got a pair of binoculars and some good luck. Usually there are clusters of fox pairs in dens and a few single individuals wandering nearby. The arctic fox has a distinctly thick, white fur, which allows it to withstand the cold.

Not much change at the top in the Mens Section with Les Wicks maintaining his position with a 35.83 average followed by Chris Slattery with 35.67. Arthur O'Connor is now 3rd with 35.25 and Mike Tait 4th with 35.08. In the Ladies section, Val Wicks has taken over the top spot in a very tight race with a 35.75 average followed closely by Jill Davies with 35.67, Karen O'Connor with 35.08 and Carol Rees at 35.0. Take a look at the Notice Board for the top 10 results in each section and see what each player has to beat to improve their average. Only one more Tuesday to try and post a good score! Last Stableford competition for the League will be October 14th.
On September 6th, it was also open to Members playing with Members and it seemed everyone had a good day. The weather cooled off slightly and there was a bit of breeze so the conditions were pleasant and the tee positions friendly. The better ball scores were generally good and it took at least 43 points to get into the prizes (top 8) but there were 5 teams tied on that score. The truly elite were the 45 points scored by Vice Captains Elect Vic and Pauline Hilliard, 48 points by Wendy Warren and her guest Pilar Andujar and the fantastic 50 points scored by Jill and Martin Hornsby!
Played on Campo Europa, it was another excellent golf day. Scores were very good, but none better than David Millar's 39 points for the Men and Jill Davies also with 39 for the Ladies! For the Men, Arthur O'Connor was 2nd and Mike Tait 3rd, both with 37 points. And for the Ladies Val Wicks was 2nd and Hazel Gilchrist 3rd, also both with 37 points. Well done and congratulations to David and Jill for putting your names on the Honours Board!
It was held on Thursday September 11th on Campo Europa in beautiful conditions – warm, sunny, and just enough breeze to keep it comfortable! Later that evening La Cala hosted tapas and drinks for all the Property Owners. David Kelley welcomed new property owners and Pedro Batista handed out some very nice prizes including weekends away for the winners!
The results were:
Ladies Men Guests
Overall winner
Nearest to the pin on 10th hole was won by Thomasina Costello.
It was played on Saturday September 13th on Campo America in pleasant conditions – sunny and warm, but some breeze to keep it comfortable. Despite the alcohol consumed on the 7th tee, many teams held it together and played very well. Winning on handicap was the team of Jenny Chesterton, Judi Lentelink and Sean Jewett with 99 points, over the team of Roy Davies, Bill Field, Brian Farmer and Mick Hall.
Winning Fun Day team: Judi Lentelink, Sean Jewett and Jenny Chesterton
on Campo Europa were Jill Davies with a net 69, just edging Jenny Chesterton on handicap and David Bottomley with a net 72. Jill has dropped her handicap to 12.8 and David remains at 8.1.
It is supposed to be a golf competition that allows a throw on each hole with no penalty. We got the rules mixed up and played a slightly different game that REQUIRED a throw on all holes except par 3's! Oops, should have consulted our Norwegian or one of our honorary Norwegians! The weather cooperated and the stories of hilarious throws added to the fun. Libby was the only one that managed to "throw in!" The winners, Bobo Syversen, Maddie Brooks, Les Wicks and Jill Davies managed 90 points and won on handicap over Louis Lentelink, Peter Penney, and guests Val Price and Simon Rivers.
It was played on Campo America on Tuesday, then Campo Asia on Thursday, and the Singles Finals on Campo Europa on Saturday. On Tuesday the format was foursomes and at the end of a hard fought day the Captains Team led by a score of 7 ½ to 4 ½ !
As you can see we had some equipment problems and had to improvise!
On Thursday the format shifted to Four Ball Better Ball and the Vice Captains team came storming back! As you can see from the smiling faces of the Vice Captains, they turned a 3 point deficit into a 2 point advantage. Note also that the equipment problems have been solved!
Sonya and Brian happy with the blue teams efforts on Day 2
Day 3 nearly didn't happen, but a positive weather forecast from our Green Keeping staff encouraged us to make an effort and now we know who to go to for weather forecasts! Only a few sprinkles dampened the tremendous surge from the Captains Team! Final Score: Red team 24 ½ points Blue team 21 ½ points. The picture tells the story!
Final Results from La Cala Ryder Cup
After the golf the La Cala kitchen staff served up some excellent sausage and chips and then the trophy presentation and handing out of wine and golf ball prizes concluded the day.
Captains accepting the Trophy from the Vice Captains
The Victorious Red Team!
It starts on Sunday October 26th with a Texas Scramble on Campo Europa! The sign-up forms will be sent to everyone with all the details of the week. For the Club Championships (Scratch and Stableford) it is the same as last year: to qualify for the top prize you must be Spanish Federated and have played 4 Tuesdays during the past year. Members or guests that are not Spanish Federated (or have not played 4 Tuesdays) are welcome to play and will be eligible for prizes if they provide a handicap certificate from their home club as per our Handicap Policy before the competition begins. There are still 3 more Tuesday competitions in October so if you are short, come join us!
If I play well on Tuesday and score 39 stableford points and then have a match (Knock-out, La Liga, or Friendly) before the competition results are posted, what handicap do I use?
Spanish Federation rules require a player to self adjust their handicap downwards if they have returned a score in a qualifying competition that has not yet been reflected in their playing handicap. For the purposes of self adjustment it should be presumed that there has been no adjustment in the ASC. Failure to self adjust would result in the player being disqualified for playing from a handicap higher than which they are entitled. It is not permissible though for a player to make an an upward adjust to their handicap.
If in any doubt as to the exact handicap adjustment to make please refer to the Captains.
The Driving Range is open for business! The hours are 8:30 am to 7:30 pm every day except on Wednesday the range will close at 6 pm and re-open at 9 am on Thursday morning to allow for maintenance.
Joan Stock has compiled some great photo albums through the years and has put 20 of them in the Sports Lounge for your viewing pleasure! They are in the cabinet just inside the door on the left and are in year order with the oldest at the top left. Stop by and catch up on some old memories. Thanks Joan!
Please remember that the Annual General Meeting of the La Cala Golf Club will be held on Sunday October 26th in Salon Picasso at 5pm (registration from 4:30pm). You have been sent a proxy slip in case you cannot attend which may be given to a fellow Member to vote on your behalf. Documents concerning the AGM are posted on the Club Notice Board, also extra proxy slips.
We apologise that website construction work has prevented posting of recent results from our Tuesday competitions. We are hoping to add these retro-actively once the work has been completed.

The videos, which could hint at what Motorola plans to announce at an event scheduled for early September, were uploaded to YouTube on Sunday by an account called "revowii." But by Monday, the four videos and the account had been taken down from the site.

There are many people looking to get rich quick. Unfortunately, many of these people are con artists looking to make a quick buck off another person's misfortune. And for those investing in bullion and rare gold coins, you need to know these crooks are in your world too. This is why it is critical to know the four C's to buying gold coins in order to avoid becoming a victim of gold coin fraud.
The 4 C's of Gold Coins:
- Comparison. Become familiar with gold coins so you can tell a fake when comparing. Get to know the look, feel and weight of bullion coins. Gold is a soft metal when compared to silver or other metals. Also, gold is a very dense and heavy metal. This means that a counterfeit gold coin will be too light when compared to real bullion coins. If you are worried the coin you are purchasing may be a fake, you can weigh it. A real gold bullion coin should be one troy ounce (31.1 grams).
- Coin dimensions. Familiarize yourself with real gold coin dimensions, because the dimensions on fake bullion coins will be too thick and have an incorrect diameter. Con artists try to alter them to add weight. This will cause the coin to become too thick or too large when compared to a real gold coin. If you are having a hard time determining, get a set of calipers to take measurements of the coin to make sure you are purchasing a real bullion coin.
- Color. Look at the color of a gold coin closely. This is an easy way to spot a fake bullion coin. A counterfeit coin will look too shiny or too dull when compared to the real thing. Also, fake gold coins may have a grainy texture or even a flecked surface.
- Content. Make yourself aware of all the details of real bullion coins. This way you may be able to tell if the coin was made in halves and then glued together – a true sign of a counterfeit. If this is the case, you may be able to see a seam on the rim, tool marks, or misshapen edges. Also, notice the letter spacing and if there are any misspellings.
By learning about the 4 C's to gold coin purchasing, you may be able to avoid coin fraud and save yourself money. However, if you have read this article too late and are already a victim of coin fraud, call the Voss Law Firm today to speak with a knowledgeable Texas coin fraud lawyer at 888-614-7730. You will receive a free case consultation and a complimentary book by coin fraud attorney Bill Voss: Coin Fraud – Is Your Investment at Risk?

This is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn the problem solving skills, teamwork and everything else that is required to develop a game in such a tight timeframe.
Bryan, TX (PRWEB) September 20, 2016
The Texas A&M Learning Interactive Visualization Experience (LIVE) Lab will be hosting their Annual Chillennium 2016 game jam, Sept. 23 - 25 at the Texas A&M Hildebrand Equine Complex. Chillennium 2016 brings students from all over the country to the Texas A&M campus to create video games from scratch in a weekend. Chillennium 2016 is organized and hosted by A&M students, and it is the largest student-run game jam in North America.
Students participating in the jam come from all over the country, with nearly 200 registered attendees representing 11 schools, including Ohio State University, West Virginia University, Baylor, UTEP and Texas State University, to name but a few. Students will receive a theme to guide them in their game development on Friday afternoon and will work all weekend to win prizes and bragging rights. Industry veterans will be available as mentors all weekend for the students to turn to for advice on their projects.
This is our third year and this great event keeps on growing," said André Thomas, a LIVE Lab faculty member and founder of Triseum, an educational interactive gaming company also affiliated with Texas A&M and the LIVE Lab. "We sold out well before the deadline, and have more sponsorship interest than ever before. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn the problem solving skills, teamwork and everything else that is required to develop a game in such a tight timeframe."
Doors open at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 23 and the secret theme of the event will be unveiled at 5:00 p.m. that evening to kick off the event. The contest ends Sunday, Sept. 25, at 5:00 p.m. Student participants will be provided meals, snacks, showers and a designated rest area for the duration of the jam.
The judges for Chillennium 2016 include Marwan Ansari of Triseum, Ben Mears of SideFX Software, Jake Ross of Cloud Imperium Games, Nick Hester of Max Play, and Paul Stephanouk of Electronic Arts Mobile. Games will be ranked on a scale from 0 to 5 for their Innovation, Quality, and Completeness in the categories of Programming, Art, Design, and Sound for a total maximum score of 60. The three teams with the highest overall scores will be awarded the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for Best Overall Game. Additional prizes will be awarded to exceptional teams in each category of Programming, Art, Design, and Sound.

Developing student competencies: An integrated approach to a financial statement analysis project
Date of this version
Document Type
Financial statement analysis project, Instructional resource, Learning strategies, Professional competencies
This paper presents an instructional resource for an integrated financial statement analysis project. The project requires a quantitative analysis of a company's financial statements and a written research report. The project is designed to develop students' critical thinking and analytical capabilities through the application of course concepts to a real company, while also providing opportunities to develop professional competencies. Following Anson's instructional design model (2007), the integrated project includes supporting activities, which are designed to aide students in achieving the project's learning goals. The supporting activities include in-class instruction on financial ratios, a computer lab session on Excel, draft papers, peer reviews of writing and paper revisions. The integrated project also serves as an example of an assignment that is consistent with two recent education frameworks, the Integrated Competency-Based Framework (Lawson et al., 2014) and the AICPA Core Competency Framework (2015), which both advocate for increased integration of professional competencies within the accounting curriculum. Our instructional resource provides project instructions, supporting activities, as well as implementation guidance and a grading rubric. The paper discusses adaptations to tailor the project to various courses and audiences. The resources in this article are useful for instructors implementing a financial statement analysis project into accounting, finance, financial statement analysis and investment courses targeted at either the undergraduate or graduate levels.

text: June 13, 2017Byline: Brian MessengerUNITED NATIONS – An expert panel of educators and disability advocates came together at U.N. headquarters today to explore global strategies for educating children and young adults with multiple disabilities and deafblindness. Hosted by Perkins International, the panel discussion was an official side-event to the 10th session of the Conference of States Parties to the U.N.'s Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Perkins President and CEO Dave Power served as moderator. The following is a summary of the proceedings. Dave Power: Education is a human right. So why do 6 million children and young adults with multiple disabilities and visual impairment have no access to education? H.E. Juan José Gómez Camacho, Permanent Representative of Mexico to the U.N.: Education is a human right, no question. One of the big challenges we have in the world is the issue of marginalization, when different groups are being left behind. Human capital is the most precious resource any community has. So when countries deny educational opportunities to children with disabilities, they are depriving themselves of thriving and contributing members of their society. Power: What are the challenges of delivering a quality education to these children? Michael Delaney, Executive Director of Perkins International: We need government support and we need sustainable training solutions for special educators working around the world. Teachers are on the frontlines of this issue, but they often lack specific knowledge and skills to offer children with multiple disabilities a quality education. For that reason we are launching Perkins International Academy with the goal of training one million teachers by 2030. Maricar Marquez, Supervisor of Independent Living, Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults: There is a lack of resources in many countries. And there remains a culture of stigma associated with people with disabilities that must be confronted. It is a myth that individuals with disabilities cannot learn. We can overcome this in part by sharing positive stories of individuals with disabilities who are successful and productive. Power: What steps can governments take to make this a priority? Rosanne K. Silberman, Ed.D, Professor Emeritus of Special Education, Hunter College: It all comes back to teacher training. There is a real shortage of teacher training programs across the world. We need parents and individuals with disabilities to come to the fore and alert governments about this urgent need. Because when other priorities take precedent, these children and their families are left behind. Gomez Camacho: We must create awareness among decision makers, but also society at large because decision makers react to social demand. When we begin demanding quality education programs for all, when parents stand up, that's when things will begin to change. Power: How can we get countries to take the first step? Delaney: By offering sustainable, scalable solutions to the problem. It's time to take action and ensure these six million children and young adults receive the education they need to become active, contributing members of their communities. It's an effort that's gaining momentum thanks to the Sustainable Development Goals. And the need is urgent.

text: VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — ROUGH CUSTOMER. Peter Richards says he pulled a bear away from his 2- year-old son and threw it out a door. ''I didn't have time to think about it,'' said the watchman at a logging camp north of Vancouver. He said the bear invaded the kitchen building and attacked Ron. ''He had one paw on the baby's back and was biting him,'' Richards said. The child's mother, Marllise Shalle, was hitting the animal, but it was ignoring her. ''I grabbed him around the neck, dragged him backwards and threw him outside,'' Richards said. Ron was not seriously hurt.

Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical (re)production, Pop artist Andy Warhol created some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. As famous for his quips as for his art—he variously mused that "art is what you can get away with" and "everyone will be famous for 15 minutes"—Warhol drew widely from popular culture and everyday subject matter, creating works like his 32 Campbell's Soup Cans (1962), Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe, using the medium of silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. Known for his cultivation of celebrity, Factory studio (a radical social and creative melting pot), and avant-garde films like Chelsea Girls (1966), Warhol was also a mentor to artists like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. His Pop sensibility is now standard practice, taken up by major contemporary artists Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons, among countless others.

Sociopathic Behavior - Dealing With Sociopaths
Who is a Sociopath?
A sociopath is a human being incapable of feeling empathy towards fellow human beings. This doesn't mean the sociopath is incapable of feeling emotion; indeed the sociopath may have a greater understanding of emotion than most people and utilize this to their advantage by gaining leverage.
The sociopath is without remorse. This isn't to be confused with a person who lacks an understanding of the consequences of their actions. The sociopath is quite adept in understanding that for every action there is a consequence. The sociopath, rather than have fears or moral qualms in regards to the consequences, instead studies various methods to circumvent or minimize the consequences of their actions.
For example, say you're a part of a community where stealing a certain item carries a fine of $1000. Usually the item retails for approximately $500. It is safe to say that under these circumstances the laws put in place act as sufficient disincentive for a person to steal the said item. Besides, stealing is wrong, and even if you could somehow manipulate the law to your advantage, you'll always run the risk of unpredictable reactions that could put your life in danger.
The sociopath, however, doesn't operate under these confines. To the mind of a sociopath you're lacking in ambition if you set any limits. The sociopath, rather than surrendering to the idea that he can't steal the said item instead asks "how can I steal this item and how can I get away with it?" The sociopath then proceeds with plans to manipulate the price of the said item. Perhaps he has come up with a method to limit the supply of the said item; perhaps he has convinced government officials to insert unusually high taxes and tariffs on the materials used to build the item, etc. Regardless of how achieved, the sociopath has successfully managed to manipulate the market enough that the said item now retails at $1200 no more than two years later. The sociopath then completes his swindle by stealing every item possible before anyone can react or adjust. He then simply pays the fine accordingly. After all, he manufactured the problem; it's only natural that he would achieve the initiative. He does so with no remorse towards the people from which he stole.
Even extremely alert and conscientious individuals that are not sociopaths, who may have noticed "the opportunity" as soon as it presented itself, will most likely choose not to act upon it due to issues of morality. The sociopath views such people with contempt. As far as he's concerned such people are merely jealous of what he sees as his entrepreneurism and tact. From his perspective such people are either lying that they foresaw the opportunity or they lacked the willpower to do what was necessary. In the mind of a sociopath, people who refrain in their actions due to moral concerns are seen as weak, lazy, and lacking in willpower.
To make matters worse, our charming sociopath may have convinced people to believe his own internalized propaganda. People who refuse to act due to a moral conscience are now accused of "victimization" - a term invented by sociopaths to describe what they perceive as decently intelligent people who perpetually allow themselves to become victims due to moral limitations.
Oddly enough, the same people who are victims of the sociopathic behaviour (e.g. they had to pay higher prices on the stated item because of the actions of the sociopath), may congratulate the sociopath on their cunning. The expression, "now why didn't I think of that?!" comes to mind. A lot of people have an unhealthy admiration for the sociopath. These "knights of the dark order" will be quick to rush to the defense of the sociopath when the sociopath is attacked. They will parrot the same baseless rebuttals as the sociopath himself: "You're just jealous of his success!" They commit to such immoral actions in part because they too aspire to one day become a sociopath.
The unfortunate reality for people who defend the sociopath is that they're being led astray. Being a shill for the sociopath is rarely the path to becoming a king or queen. The sociopaths regard such people as "useful idiots," they're laughing hysterically at such shills behind closed doors. Sociopaths have no interest in sharing power. The truth of the matter is it's impossible to become a sociopath once you've reached adulthood; the mental condition starts when young and it requires a genetic blueprint. Sociopaths have a "sixth sense" in detecting fellow sociopaths, and thus are tactful in welcoming "sociopathic initiates" into their exclusive clan at a young age. Sociopathy is never achieved by brown nosing sociopaths; however it's in the interest of sociopaths that people are led to believing as such, as they need the foot soldiers on the streets to enforce their various agendas. A sociopath will always strive to control others, as what you can control can't hurt you. Human control is the ultimate insurance policy the sociopath has against repercussions for his actions. The best method to control people is to get very same people being controlled to enforce the control on each other - sociopaths have mastered this craft.
While a perfectly normal human being approaches risk with a degree of caution; our sociopath finds risk a stimulating experience. In the example I gave above, a rational person may come to the conclusion that even if he could "get away" with stealing on paper, there's always the risk some trigger happy vigilante may decide to take matters into his own hands. Therefore, our normal human refrains from stealing. The sociopath, on the other hand, is stimulated by the prospect and eagerly awaits the possibility of battle.
What's fascinating in regards to sociopaths is despite the fact they lack empathy; they have found great success in occupations as CEO's of corporations, managers, media, teachers, government, etc. These are careers normally associated with having to interact with people. This is because in spite of their faults; sociopaths have qualities that are viewed with great admiration in the world of work. Sociopaths are highly intelligent. They can have a strong sense of humour. Sociopaths are incredibly reliable and loyal to their allies - as long as their allies remain useful and stick with the program. They can be incredibly charming. A person who is reliable, intelligent, and humorous can prove quite intoxicating. It's a rare combination of attributes associated to a single human being that can understandably lead to likability and admiration from other people.
Sociopaths hide their lack of emotional empathy towards people by making use of shallow emotions. For example, they may convincingly fake laughter at a joke you've told that isn't funny, all in attempts at winning your trust and asking favours. They make up for their lack of genuine emotion by being talented actors.
Sociopaths are pathological liars. They have no problem lying coolly and easily and it's almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. However, their ability to create, project, and their strong use of language, allows the sociopath to masquerade these inconsistencies on a routine basis. Sociopaths even have the ability to cheat science. There have been studies that suggest a sociopath can slightly alter the neurological chemistry of his brain when it suits him. Essentially, the sociopath has found a way to manipulate his own brain into convincing he's telling the truth. This allows the sociopath to be extremely convincing and routinely pass lie detector tests.
Although a sociopath is incapable of feeling love; they can make great lovers. They're extremely passionate and the manipulation of human sexuality is yet another tool they have at their disposal. Sociopaths are often regarded as sexually attractive. Male sociopaths are often regarded as "pick-up artists."
Although the vast majority of sociopaths are still male (which is why I have referred to sociopaths as "he"); it's important to note that female sociopathy is accelerating rapidly. Theories as to why this is have been suggested. The most plausible theory is that in the past women were encouraged during childhood to adopt less aggressive traits. Now that such restrictions have been lifted from women - the sociopathic female is starting to emerge. Female sociopaths are more likely to harm and manipulate children while male sociopaths mostly stick with adults.
Although sociopathy has been proven as genetic; there's mounting evidence that sociopathy can "be vaccinated" by having a childhood without violence. A few people have been brain scanned clearly showing the neurological characteristics of a sociopathic brain without demonstrating the typical behaviours. Indeed, they may have still failed to understand human empathy, but they for the most part respected other people. When questioned about their childhood such test subjects indicated they have a childhood history of non-violence. On the other hand, sociopaths who demonstrated the typical behaviour always had a history of childhood violence or neglect when questioned. This means that sociopathy is a mental condition that can only manifest itself through both nature and nurture. Sociopaths who experience a childhood of non-violence can remain "dormant sociopaths" once the brain reaches maturity.
Only approximately 3% of the population has the genetic makeup of a sociopath; although this number is increasing rapidly as sociopaths are having more children than non-sociopaths. There is no cure for sociopathy, once the brain reaches maturity and the individual shows sociopathic characteristics, they're at the point of no return.
The sociopath has a grandiose sense of self. They can feel entitled to certain things as "their right." The actions of a sociopath can lead to extreme reactions of being either revered or hated - this only serves to further bolster the ego of the sociopath. In fact, many sociopaths consider to be loved or hated the definition of a God, and as such many sociopaths view themselves as a God or a human of elevated genetic status.
-Donovan D. Westhaver
Sociopaths are indeed pathological liars. I still become nauseous when I remember the doings of a sociopath who had taken me for a ride. And he is still preaching the Gospel with no idea that he is a mental case. I don't think I will ever be able to forgive him for the unwanted lessons he had taught me.
Interesting hub! Your description reminded me of the mind of a true criminal. Maybe all criminals are sociopaths?

Real estate in Europe is expensive. In the city center of Bordeaux, France, purchasing a single-bedroom apartment can run upwards to $400,000. There are bargains to be had, but rarely will an inexpensive flat in a French city be much to look at. Between the age of the buildings and the high taxes, it's incredibly difficult for an average person to own their own place in Bordeaux.
Jérémie Buchholtz was one such person looking to be a homeowner. Priced out of most city housing, he was beginning to lose hope when he stumbled upon a dilapidated garage, nestled into a private alley, in a quiet neighborhood, for the low, low price of nearly $100,000.
His friends, quite frankly, thought he was nuts.
But it wasn't long until they wondered why they ever doubted him.
Rebuilt within the constraints of the historic roofline, the space is open and airy.
Modern furniture and appliances contribute to a decluttered feel.
A custom piece offers useful seating and storage, as well as an office. A full bathroom is concealed behind it.
On top of this attractive cube is the bedroom, featuring even more built-in storage and a surprisingly large bed for such an efficient space.

DUAL provides a new format for amateur radio packet transmission that has less header overhead than AX.25 and is more `user-friendly' to higher-layer protocols such as IP. DUAL provides up to eight packet formats for each upper layer protocol, allowing packet transmission to be tailored to the link environment that will be used.
For the transmission of TCP/IP packets, the header compression scheme used in Compressed SLIP has been altered to work in a broadcast environment. Overall, there is an 83%decrease in header size when using DUAL to transmit TCP/IP packets, compared with TCP/IP transmission over AX.25.
We have implemented a basic DUAL layer in the BSD Network Stack in FreeBSD. The implementation is robust and confirms out protocol design. As yet, we have not completed our implementation to our satisfaction, nor tested DUAL in a real amateur packet radio environment, although we intend to achieve both in a few months. A future paper will describe our results.

Political leaders focus on youth unemployment at Dundee summit
Leading UK politicians have been in Scotland to discuss youth unemployment north and south of the border.
The National Convention on Youth Employment in Dundee was chaired by Scottish Secretary Michael Moore.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith and Scotland's Finance Secretary John Swinney also attended.
The summit came a day after the latest official figures showed about 103,000 people aged between 16 and 24 are out of work in Scotland.
Organisations such as John Lewis, Jobcentre Plus and Skills Development Scotland were invited to take part.
Mr Moore told the convention: "I think it is of particular importance that the UK government and the Scottish government - the two governments of Scotland - work together on this critical issue.
"The purpose of today is to bring the key players in the youth employment debate on a focused basis.
"Youth unemployment is a problem which can appear to have more questions than answers but we can achieve far more together than apart."
Mr Swinney challenged the UK government to deliver a "budget for job creation".
He said: "The Chancellor could play his part in tackling youth unemployment with National Insurance holidays tied to the recruitment of young people.
"This relatively simple measure could significantly enhance employment opportunities for young people and could also be extended to cover recruitment by small and medium sized businesses."
Fair wage
Labour MP and Shadow Scotland Secretary Margaret Curran said Scotland's youth unemployment "crisis" would not be solved by asking young people working for free.
She added: "We need governments in Edinburgh and London working together to grow the economy and create real jobs that pay a fair wage for a fair day's work."
Ms Curran believed Dundee's youth employment convention had been disappointing and she was critical that few young people had been invited to the event.
The politician said: "Given the scale of the challenge we face, with more than 100,000 young people out of work, it's disappointing that just 10 young people were invited to the national convention, which now looks like grandstanding.
"How can we help young people into work if we don't even listen and understand the challenges they face?"

I took a look at FLY : the airline which leased this a/c : most odd : if it is the same airline, 14 days old, it has no aircraft, no routes, no income, $1.5mil in cash and a 'B' credit rating : and a 737-600 ordered on a lease due for delivery in 3 game-years time..the faint whiff of fishiness occureth...
I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to spend real money (as in credits) to outsource D-checks. Nobody can be that thick. If he is, he would be such a pathetic wretch that he'd rather deserve our pity than anything else.But let's not jump to conclusions, should be easy for sami to check.
If it can give an advantage, someone will. There's a reason there's "farms" of WoW goldminers China/Korea and such.In other words: People who can afford it, can and will throw money at the problem.
This is the most concerning part of the whole thread....and most seem to have missed this point.What is to stop a CEO creating another airline, leasing his own plane, perfotming D check and B/K...a big windfall for the original airline.I wonder if Sami checks IP addresses in this case?I have 3 x aircraft leased out for 6.4 years due to be handed back to me just prior to their D checks, but I see this as astute business by the airline CEO that leased them from me.
The previous aircraft was just leased for one year, no d-check was performed, and the airline BK'ed. Is that my fault? I don't think so. Btw, that aircraft was later sold to someone called 'EsquireFlyer' if you must know.
Being an airline CEO is to make profits and cut costs, is that not correct?
Perhaps, Pan Canadian Slum Transport Air....
Given the progress and current status of EsquireFlyer's airline in NAC, I'd say he has a strong understand of game mechanics and thus, if you were based against in at the start a game world.. you wouldn't be such a big airline In any case I agree. I call upon the great forum powers of Sigma. Awaken great King Ceasar Sigma! Come to our aid!! *Plays on speakers* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iXGMp7ZkF0Talentz

Freetoo was kind enough to send me a complimentary Workout Resistance Band. There are five levels of resistance bands you can purchase – the one you see here is the smallest level of resistance (15-35 lbs). In addition to the one shown above, you can also purchase four higher resistance levels, the highest being 50 – 125 lbs. You can also buy a set of 4 with a range of resistance levels. My band came with a helpful little packet of illustrated exercise suggestions, different positions to tone different areas of the body (shoulders, hips, arms, and legs just to name a few). I've been given resistance bands at physical therapy before, but the quality was always along the lines of cut up balloons. Freetoo's band was a whole different breed, much higher quality! A perfect gift for the fitness-minded people in your life. The bands can be purchase here on Amazon, with prices ranging from $6.99 to $29.89. Happy toning!
