VEX IQ Awards
Teams should consider their season a success if they learned something new and had fun in applying their knowledge and skills to the VEX IQ Challenge. Events provide a great opportunity to share and recognize the accomplishments and contributions of the student participants!
This section details the full list of awards presented in the VEX IQ Challenge Program. Most local and regional events will offer a small subset of these awards, based on the number of teams at their event. The only event likely to present each and every one of these awards will be VEX Worlds, as warranted by the hundreds of teams participating. The awards presented at each event are chosen by the event planning committee with the help of their Regional Support Manager.
Excellence Award
The Excellence Award is the highest award presented in the VEX IQ Challenge. This award is presented to a team that exemplifies overall excellence in creating a high quality VEX robotics program. This team is a strong contender in numerous award categories. Excellence winners must have an Engineering Notebook and a STEM Research Project presentation. Key criteria:
- Design Award ranking
- STEM Research Project Award ranking
- Teamwork Challenge Qualification Matches ranking
- Robot Skills Challenge ranking
- Other Judged award rankings
- High quality VEX robotics program
Design Award
The Design Award recipient demonstrates the ability to implement the most effective and efficient robot design process. Their Engineering Notebook and discussion with the Judges will demonstrate the team's ability to produce a quality robot with minimal adult assistance. Only teams that submit Engineering Notebooks are eligible for the Design Award. Key criteria:
- Engineering Notebook is a clear, complete, and organised document of the robot design process.
- Team demonstrates effective management of skills, time, and material resources.
- Students understand and explain how they developed an effective game strategy and robot design.
- Students demonstrate teamwork and effective communication skills.
Judges will use the Design Award Rubric to evaluate the teams' performance on the award criteria. The first part of the Design Award Rubric is used to evaluate the quality of a team's Engineering Notebook. The second part of the rubric is then used to evaluate the students' understanding and application of an effective robot design process, as demonstrated in their team pit interview with Judges. The Design Award Rubric is available in the Judge Guide and at roboticseducation.org/event-partners/event-partner-resources-documents/.
Teamwork Champion Award (2 teams)
The Teamwork Champion Award is presented to each of the two teams on the winning alliance in the Teamwork Challenge Finals Matches.
STEM Research Project Award
The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Research Project Award is presented to the team that shares the most effective STEM Research Project presentation. This presentation, as well as the followup discussion with Judges, effectively demonstrates the students' significant depth of understanding of their topic and research findings. The presentation will also highlight the students' work in sharing what they learned in an effective format. Key criteria:
- Identifies a challenge topic of interest that relates to the STEM theme for the season

Robot Skills Champion Award
The Robot Skills Champion Award is presented to the team with the highest combined Programming Skills Challenge and Driving Skills Challenge score. A team's combined score will be determined by adding their highest Programming Skills Challenge score and their highest Driving Skills Challenge score at a single event. Teams participating in only one of the two skills challenges will receive a zero score in the challenge in which they did not participate. Some events may choose not to offer this award.
Judges Award
The Judges Award is presented to a team that the Judges determine is deserving of special recognition. Judges consider a number of possible criteria for this award, such as team displays of special attributes, exemplary effort and perseverance at the event, or team accomplishments or endeavours throughout the season that may not fit under existing awards, but are nonetheless deserving of special recognition.
Sportsmanship Award
The Sportsmanship Award is presented to a team that has earned the respect and admiration of the volunteers and other teams at the event. VEX Worlds uses ballots for this award. Key criteria:
- Team is courteous, helpful, and respectful to everyone at the event, on and off the field
- Team interacts with others on the game field in the spirit of friendly collaboration

Employ people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds
Having a diverse workplace means you can market your goods and services more effectively, both in Australia and overseas.
What is CALD?
A Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) workplace means having employees who:
- are from different countries, including English-speaking countries such as Canada
- have different cultural backgrounds
- can speak other languages besides English
- are from different areas in Australia, including regional towns
- follow different religions.
Benefits of a CALD workplace
Australia is a multicultural society. Almost half of the population were either born overseas or have at least one parent born overseas. Australia is also continuing to grow its international business networks. Our largest trading partners include Asian countries such as China and Japan.
It's therefore good business sense to welcome employees from CALD backgrounds, if they have the skills and experience you need. They can help you to:
- understand Australia's multicultural consumers
- provide better customer service by using their language and cultural skills
- provide access to new market segments and networks
- expand internationally to overseas markets.
For example:
- Australian banks and businesses often employ people who can speak Asian languages to work in their Chinatown branches, to provide a better service to consumers from Asian backgrounds.
- If you run an organic produce store, an employee from a small farming background may develop a better rapport with local suppliers, and have a deeper understanding of supply issues, compared with someone from an urban area.
Recruiting CALD employees
Here are some things to consider when planning your recruitment:
- Understand who your existing customers are. Can you serve them better with different skill sets? Does your workplace reflect your customer base?
- Research potential new markets. Who are your products or services suited to? Could a more diverse workplace help you reach those new markets?
- Plan the future of your business. Where might you export your products or services? Are you considering importing? What language skills would help you do this more easily?
Adjust your recruitment process accordingly. For example, if you're keen to recruit a Spanish-speaking employee because you import handmade goods from Spain, advertise your position in local Spanish language newspapers or community radio.
Get more tips! Download a step-by-step guide to preventing discrimination in recruitment from the Australian Human Rights Commission.
Working with CALD employees
Make sure your workplace culture is ready to embrace diversity. For example, you can:
- develop workplace policies and training that promote cross-cultural awareness
- hold lunches and events that celebrate workplace diversity and encourage employees to share their cultures and experiences
- set up mentoring arrangements that match employees from different backgrounds, to encourage open communication
- find out when significant cultural and religious events and days are on, so you can anticipate leave requests and plan celebrations in the workplace.
Check out the calendar of cultural and religious dates on the Harmony Day website.
Race discrimination
It's unlawful to disadvantage employees and job seekers in any way because of their:
- race or colour
- descent, national origin or ethnic origin.
To make sure you have a discrimination-free workplace, and you understand your rights and responsibilities as an employer, check out:
- the Racial discrimination fact sheet on the Australian Human Rights Commission website
- our equal opportunity and diversity page.

SERNAGEOMIN reported that on 19 February a partial lava-dome collapse of the S flank of Chaitén's Domo Nuevo 1 and Domo Nuevo 2 lava-dome complex generated lateral explosions, block-and-ash flows, and pyroclastic flows. A pyroclastic flow traveled S down the Chaitén (Blanco) River valley, stopping within about 5 km of Chaitén town (10 km SW). Ash plumes rose to an altitude of 9.1 km (30,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted W and SE. Ash fell in Futaleufú (about 65 km ESE), and, according to ONEMI, accumulated to thicknesses of 3-5 mm. Overflights revealed that the tree leaves in a forest near the S flank were burned and steam rose from new deposits in the Chaitén River valley. Ash-and-steam plumes rose to altitudes of 7.1-9.1 km (23,300-30,000 ft) a.s.l. A 500 x 500 m scar from the partial dome collapse was seen on the S flank. Seismicity decreased to pre-collapse levels by the afternoon. The steaming from pyroclastic flow deposits was again seen in the channel and on the shores of the Chaitén River valley during an overflight the next day, but had greatly decreased by 21 February. Using photos taken during 19 and 20 February overflights, scientists estimated that 10 million cubic meters of material was removed from the S flank of the dome complex. According to a news article, about 200 people were living in Chaitén town on 19 February. ONEMI reported that many of those people self-evacuated, but about 46 people remained in the town, refusing to leave. On 23 February, lahars traveled down river valleys and an off-white plume was seen on the web camera rising about 1 km above the lava domes.
Based on SIGMET notices, analysis of satellite imagery, and web camera views, the Buenos Aires VAAC reported that during 23-24 February ash plumes rose to altitudes 2.1-3 km (7,000-10,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted NE and E.

W-S to host Regenerative Med forum
The Business Journal of the Greater Triad Area
Wednesday, December 23, 2009
The Translational Regenerative Medicine Foundation will hold a three-day forum on "Drivers and Strategies for Healthcare Innovation and Personalized Medicine" in Winston-Salem in April, according to an announcement. More than 40 speakers, panelists and moderators are already confirmed for the event, according to the Foundation, which was formed in 2005 by Dr. Anthony Atala of Wake Forest University's Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
Atala will be among the featured speakers, along with scientists and investors from organizations such as the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, the U.S. Army Medical Command, the Kauffman Foundation and several venture capital firms.
Regenerative medicine uses techniques and devices such as tissue-engineered scaffolds and stem cells to replace damaged or diseased cells in the body. At Wake Forest, Atala's laboratory is involved in research aimed a being able to replace failed organs such as kidneys or bladders with new organs grown from a patient's own cells, and to repair damage to limbs and tissue suffered by soldiers in combat, among other applications.

I've recently been fairly intrigued by nail art!
It's a really thrifty way of updating your look which is awesome because its quite cheap if you decided you don't like it!
Who needs a salon and its inflated prices when you can get some glorious bargains if you look in the right places!
In the pic below are a few of the bargains I have picked up!
The wraps were in Primark for just 50p each, the rhinestones and stickers came from eBay for about 99p each!
I'm still waiting for the arrival of my fimo canes and slices but more on those cuties in another posting!
The Maybelline Color Show polishes were a treat from the Mr and they are currently buy one get one half price in boots!
I'm obsessed with the orange one (Orange attack) and below is a pic after just one coat! Lovely!
I'm looking forward to trying out all my trusty bargains and seeing if I'm any good at doing the said nail art!
If not then my little sisters in Sweden are going to get one good haul! 🙂

He covers a fair amount of distance on the pitch ‒ and it seems Lionel Messi is happy to go the extra mile off it, too. The Barcelona superstar has stepped in to cover the unpaid wages of the Argentina national team's security staff, according to journalist Juan Palo Varsky. Reported by Sport, the 29-year-old forward was approached by the workers, who had not been paid for 'several months', prior to a match in Brazil. Varsky, speaking on the programme 'No Somos Nadie' on Metro 95.1, said: 'Lionel Messi was in his room waiting for the game against Brazil in Belo Horizonte, when a knock at the door came. 'Two or three people appeared, all from the security team who look after the Argentine team and they said "Leo, we have to talk with you. For five or six months they have not paid us. The situation is complicated, you are the captain of the team, you know us, we are asking for your help."'
Messi then phoned his father, Jorge, to arrange payment after the Argentina Football Association, allegedly in a lot of financial trouble, had failed to pay the staff. 'Surely, when Messi finds out that someone told this he will be furious, but it doesn't matter. 'There are a lot of actions he doesn't want people to know about but I thought it pertinent to tell this because there is no reason not to, save for his anger.' Argentina recently played Brazil in Belo Horizonte, suffering an embarrassing 3-0 defeat against their bitter rivals.

Teen crisis: Should they friend parents on Facebook?
It's become an increasingly familiar cry among teens and young adults: "#*&%! My parents are on Facebook!"
As the world's biggest social-networking site continues to grow, parents are joining -- and invariably asking the kids to include them in their circle of online friends.
Many young people are horrified at the idea of parents seeing their posts -- which may include racy photos or talk about who they're dating.
"I don't want my mom asking me about everything I say on Facebook," said 15-year-old Evie Petersen, who is ignoring her mother's most recent friend request.
The Fresno teen isn't alone.
A survey released this month by Kaplan Test Prep on social networking trends found that more than one-third of teens whose parents are on Facebook have not agreed to friend them. Of this group, nearly 40% had simply ignored their parent's request, leaving them in Facebook limbo.
The decision to friend a parent isn't always voluntary: 16% of those who did so reported that it was a condition of parental approval for starting a Facebook page.
Where to draw the line is a digital-age dilemma that has spawned humorous websites, newspaper columns and a recent skit on "Saturday Night Live" about solutions to parental friending.
But the issue also is sparking serious discussions in more households as older adults, many with children, join the ranks of Facebook's 500 million users. The 35-54 age group is the fastest-growing demographic and now represents some 30% of the entire user base, according to iStrategyLabs, which tracks social networking trends.
Parents may think it's a harmless way to keep up with what their children are up to. After all, child-safety advocates advise parents to keep tabs of their children's online activity.
But teens are likely to view their parent's Facebook friending request as unnecessary prying into their personal lives.
When they tell parents their Facebook pages are off-limits, teens are drawing a line in the sand and asserting their independence, said Kristen Campbell, executive director of Kaplan's college prep programs.
"They want to control their personal and private lives," she said. "It's something that parents should not take personally."
But that's not easy to do, said Gretta Petersen, mother of Evie, a Bullard High School sophomore who has friended her twice -- only to unfriend her later.
"I think at some level you can't help but take it personally," Petersen said. It's kind of like, what don't you want me to know about you? You start making assumptions. But, on the other hand, they are at the point in their lives where they are starting to assert their independence."
Evie said her mom insisted on being included among her Facebook friends, and she agreed. But, realizing she didn't want her mom seeing everything she and her friends discussed and photos they posted, Evie unfriended her. Then, she felt guilty and refriended her mother -- only to give her the boot again.
Gretta Petersen hadn't committed the cardinal sin of posting messages on Evie's Facebook page. "But she looks at my stuff sometimes and says things like, 'You shouldn't be using that language,' " Evie said.
Petersen said Evie doesn't use foul language on her page, but she partially spells out expletives, substituting symbols for letters. "I don't comment on her page, but I will tell her, 'you need to clean up your language.' "
Although her daughter has shut her out, Petersen has other options: she has been friended on Facebook by some of Evie's friends -- including her best friend, Mary Taylor -- which allows her an occasional glimpse into their lives. On Facebook, posts sometimes can be viewed second-hand.
Mary also has friended her own mother. "She is one of the first people I added," said the 16-year-old.
But Mary said she is careful about what she posts on her page, knowing her mother might see it: "Sometimes it's kind of annoying."
That was 18-year-old Kristal Newman's reaction after she accepted her dad's friend request, a decision she soon regretted. He sometimes would publicly recite comments that her friends had posted on her page -- often before she even had a chance to read them.
Kristal, a community college student who lives in North Fork, said her dad was upset when she unfriended him, because he thought Facebook was one more way to keep in touch.
"I explained my reasoning, ... [and told him] if he wants to know what's going on with me, just ask me; Facebook is not my life," she said in an e-mail. "I would rather my dad talk to me in 'real life' about my friends or what's going on that's important to me. Most of my posts are really random and insignificant anyway."
Younger teens are more hesitant than older teens or young adults to friend parents, said Tamyra Pierce, associate professor of mass communication and journalism at California State University, Fresno.
"Young people are in the stage of developing their identity and may not want their parents to see everything they do," she said.
Justin Kamimoto, a 17-year-old student at Clovis North High School, said he is lucky his parents haven't discovered the networking site.
And if they do, he knows he won't friend them. "It's not that there is something to hide, it's ... our space," he said.
It's a place where teens feel free to express themselves, Pierce said. Girls may be more sexually explicit than they otherwise would be, and boys might use foul language or talk about drinking, Pierce said, so "it's not cool if your parents are on there."
As children mature, Pierce said, they become more accepting of their parents and less likely to see them as an embarrassment.
Not every young person objects to sharing Facebook -- and not all parents insist.
Agnes Henriksson, a 22-year-old international student from Sweden attending Fresno City College, for example, had to persuade her mom to join her Facebook friends.
"Basically, I think she felt she would be intruding in my private life if she could see everything I wrote and who I wrote it to," Henriksson said.
Now, she counts her mother in Sweden among her 437 friends. "She loves it," Henriksson said.
But Henriksson's mom hasn't taken the same approach with all her children: "She still doesn't want to be friends with my two younger brothers."
Although the Kaplan survey found that nearly two-thirds of teens had friended their parents, Pierce -- who has done research on social networking -- says she suspects some of those teens are living a double life.
Many teens often have two Facebook sites, one where they openly express themselves and a "parent-friendly" page, she said.
Parents do need to be able to monitor the online activity of their children -- especially young children -- and Facebook can be a useful tool, Pierce said.
However, experts say parents should be respectful of their child's personal space and resist the urge to comment or otherwise intrude on their Facebook page.
Because for today's technologically advanced youngsters, Facebook is where they hang out with friends.
So butting in on a teen's Facebook page, Pierce said, is "just like if they were talking on the phone to a friend and you got on the phone and said, 'Hey, I want to talk, too.' "

Topsail Presbyterian Church Committee Responsibilities Overview
- Promote world and local missions among church members, planning and presenting an adequate schedule of Witness Season activities and securing mission speakers for the church.
- Identify benevolent causes the church should support.
- Promote the support of the church's benevolent budget and causes.
- Research the community's needs and determine ways of responding to those needs.
- Publicize the community's social service programs and involve church members in those ministries.
- Help members find ways to provide Christian service through their occupations.
- Shall recommend to the Session and be responsible for promoting and collecting the special offerings (One Great Hour of Sharing, Pentecost, Peacemaking, and the Christmas Joy Gift Offering) made on behalf of the General Assembly and Presbytery.
- Prepare annually a budget for the support of the committee's programs to be submitted to the Stewardship Committee.
Topsail Mission Committee Update
The Mission Committee will be providing a brief update each month to let the congregation know the status of some of the mission efforts the committee is undertaking, and possibly to make you aware of outreach of the church you didn't know about..
The cleaning supplies (I.E. Flood Buckets) that were collected by the Topsail Presbyterian Women were delivered to a distribution location at the Jerusalem Center in Andrews, SC. In Andrews, there have been some initial repairs on homes in the city, but many people in the town have needs that have yet to be met. Just minutes before our buckets were added to the cleaning supplies, clothing, food, and other items being distributed,, two ladies arrived hoping to find help. The mission committee is looking at other ways that TPC can assist the people hit hardest in South Carolina, and you can expect to hear about those efforts in the coming weeks.
In mid-January, the committee had our first meeting in 2016. One of the things we are trying to do as a committee is to assist missions already being undertaken by other organizations in the church such as the Presbyterian Women, the Youth, and others. As we are organizing our committee efforts for the rest of the year, we would invite those interested in participating to join the committee. Those interested can contact the committee chair, Jamie Tyson.

Rename a user
As a G Suite administrator, you can change a user's sign-in name and primary email address (often called a username ). You can also change their default display name.
Who can change what
Users can't change their own primary email address.
A user's display name is the first and last name that appears in mail messages they send, calendar guest lists, and other Google services. The display name also appears in the global contacts Directory.
- Administrators set default display names. You can define a user's default display name in the Admin console. This name applies as long as the user doesn't change their Google+ profile name or Gmail name. The default name appears in the global Directory no matter what the user changes.
- Users can change their display name via Google+.

Daily Archives: March 28, 2017
Are you tired of looking in the mirror and not liking when you see, when it comes to your body? It is time to start working out. Get rid of extra kilos and also keep fit and healthy by using the following tips which have already been applied by many people who have been in your shoes
First come first – transform your house into a small gym
In order to do that, you need space. In the majority of cases the fitness equipment is quite large. Not to mention that it is not comfortable at all to do your daily exercises in a tiny space because you can easily hurt yourself. But, in case you do not know what to do, you can use a part of your garage and transform it into a small home gym. Or you can get the attic organised as to make room for your new types of equipment. The same rule applies if you have an empty room or a basement.
Secondly – this is the most popular type of fitness equipment for working out from home
A spine bike. Why is it necessary? Well, according to specialists, you can burn on average 500 calories when you use this special type of equipment. A spine bike is also recommended for all your family members, including kids or grandparents. It can also improve your cardio health, by building up muscular endurance. And it is a user-friendly type of equipment. The only thing you will have to do is to put some music on, in order to make the whole experience even more pleasant. But how can you find a spine bike? It is easier that you imagine. You can buy the best spin bikes online. Just sit on your confortable armchair and check the promotions from the online shops.
A punching bag. Believe it or not, it is a solution for a full-body cardio workout. But, before investing in such accessory, make sure you have already checked its quality. If it is not good, you can hurt yourself. Also, try to read something about boxing techniques and buy some special gloves for protecting your hands.
An elliptical machine. It is a perfect choice for those who suffer from back pain. Also, it is an excellent choice for home because it allows you to be a multitasking person. You can read or watch your favourite series while you exercise. This machine is also good for those who want to have good-looking legs and get rid of cellulite.
Adjustable dumbbells. As you probably know, they are the most versatile type of equipment for those who like working out for home. Their main advantage is that they do not occupy so much space. On the other hand, they can prove a real challenge for both men and women. However, these adjustable dumbbells are not good only for your arms, but also for your chest.
A massage machine. Have you tried a massage machine before? In case you have not, it is time to say "yes" to this miraculous device which will relax your tired muscles. We recommend investing in a foot massager first and use it after you finish your daily training.

After waking up at the crack of dawn in South Dakota, Broderick and I made the 16 hour trek to Illinois. The midwest sure does have some beautiful spots but the majority of it is ENDLESS miles of flat land. The lights of the city sure were a beautiful sight when we finally pulled into town.
My brother Rob and his friend Cody flew into town for a few days and we saw allll the favorite spots. I lived in Chicago for a couple years so spending time with old friends and showing them around was so much fun. It was definitely a "sleep when I'm dead" kinda week.
The guys are already planning next summer's trip and I'm just hoping I can keep up ;) I miss this city.

Day 3 involved another pre game pool party and riding my first ferris wheel ever. Had a Pink's hot dog and chill cheese fries before we met with everyone. Went crazy when The Weeknd played Crew Love. Caught a glimpse of Gotye then hopped over to Calvin Harris, one of my highlights of the trip. Stayed for 20 minutes into Avicii's set and watched these girls throw glitter everywhere and go wild, which btw looked very cool. Headed over and squeezed our way up close to the Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg show. Absolutely the best part of the whole festival. I realized there is an inner gangster rapper in me for the fact that I knew every single song word for word. Blown away by each surprise performance-- to get such talented artists all on one stage. And just when I thought Kanye's performance last year would be tough to beat, Tupac was such a treat that it made it a million times better. Looking at these pictures already give me withdrawals but now with Maria's wedding, I'm so preoccupied and beyond exhausted from traveling and adjusting with the time difference that my schedule is way too hectic to pause and think of it. Luckily I had some down time to get these up before I lag again. My body still thinks it's at Coachella and wanted to reminisce while it's fresh. I'll return back here with pictures from the Philippines once I get back next week. Till then, toodles.

Named scholarships
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The University of Akron is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of UA alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today's students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
The need for scholarships grows each year, however, as students continue to face an increased financial burden in pursuit of a college degree. In fact, 94 percent of today's baccalaureate students borrow to pay for college – versus just 45 percent in 1993. Across the country, the average college-related debt for borrowers in the class of 2016 was $37,172; for Ohio students, that figure was $30,239.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to the MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND MOVING FORWARD scholarship campaign, which is the University's most important initiative. You may also establish a named scholarship at The University of Akron, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.
To learn more, please contact the Department of Development at 330-972-7238.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
This is not the page to apply for scholarships.
Students who want to apply for scholarships should visit the scholarship page on the Financial Aid site.
The Department of Development does not accept applications for or distribute scholarships. Scholarships are distributed through the University's Office of Student Financial Aid.

Mr. Jorgensen earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois, where he was a student of Mark H. Hindsley, and a master's degree from Michigan State University, where he studied under Leonard Falcone and Kenneth Bloomquist. From 1969-1972, Mr. Jorgensen was euphonium soloist with the U.S. Army Field Band in Washington, D.C., with Hal Gibson and Samuel Fricano as conductors.

Fleming man accused of murder convicted of earlier charges
A man accused of killing two people and holding his girlfriend hostage last January has been found guilty of wanton endangerment, terroristic threatening and violation of a protective order, stemming from an incident in December.
Roy Ivan Pollard, 34, has been charged with the murder of Jason Thompson and his aunt Willa Thompson in January. A month earlier, on Dec. 3, a Fleming County jury found, Pollard went to the Thompsons' home looking for his ex-girlfriend, Bonnie Butler. When Jason Thompson told Pollard that Butler wasn't there, Pollard pulled a shotgun and threatened Thompson, according to a press release from Maysville Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Gary Adkins.
On Jan. 11, the Thompsons' bodies were found at their home on Sugar Tree Lane in Muses Mill. Butler was kidnapped and held hostage for a night in the woods, court records say. Pollard's trial in that case is scheduled for Jan. 20, 2009.
Pollard's attorney, public defender Tom Griffiths, argued that witnesses' accounts were not to be believed because of inconsistencies.
The jury recommended a sentence of five years in prison on the endangerment charge and one year and a $500 fine each for the threatening and protective order violation, the press release said. Sentencing was set for Sept. 5.

Patrick+Katie // Seattle Engagement/
I've known Patrick for almost my whole life. Kind of.
His mom used to babysit me. She lived next to my parents when I was born. Life took her to Seattle and eventually took me to Seattle too. Since she stayed connected to my family, she and I reconnected when I arrived in the Emerald City and her family pretty much became mine. Her two sons Ryan and Patrick became close friends during my time there and I pretty much consider them the brothers I never had.
When Patrick told me last year that he met someone, I could not have been more excited. Patrick has been patiently waiting for the right girl and pretty much the 2nd or 3rd texts we shared about Katie, I knew she was the one he would marry. I love it when that happens!
He proposed a few weeks prior to my visit to Seattle so naturally the timing could not have been better for me to take engagement photos. We headed out for an afternoon of great weather, lots of laughs and so many kisses! (Only for them of course!)
Patrick and Katie, I love your love. I can NOT wait for the day in August when you get to join the married club and begin the rest of your lives together!

Dr. R. Biju Kumar
The object of education is to bring out the latent good qualities and virtues in human beings. Truth, righteousness, love, empathy, nonviolence and altruism are the basic values which everyone should inculcate and put into practice in his thoughts, words and deeds. A good lawyer should be an ideal human being. Legal education should bring out the skills and virtues necessary for a humane and righteous lawyer.
There was a time when lawyers profession was considered as the noblest profession. Lawful claims of illiterate people were presented before courts of law by utilising the skill and eloquence of educated youths who could convince the judge, the nature of their clients grievances. Later, this service took the form of a profession. In the early stages, lawyers did not demand any fees for the service rendered by them. As a token for the service rendered, the clients used to deposit small coins in the small pocket on the back side of the lawyers gown. Thus the lawyers profession is not a liars profession. It is a charitable mission in which the skills of the lawyer are used to help the needy to prove their lawful and truthful claims before courts of law. The seven lamps of advocacy viz, honesty, courage, industry, wit, eloquence, judgment and fellowship are their armaments in this mission. Law students and legal professionals should remember the objectives of their profession and use their knowledge and skill for social welfare so as to uphold the dignity of their career.

Name: Christine Herzer.
Poet. Visual Artist. Teacher.
Lives and works in Paris.
What does poetry mean to you?
Writing poetry is world-care.
Poetry = a commitment to living an 'examined life' (Louise Bourgeois)
Invitation to notice, to choose where our attention goes
'every rose pulses' (Carol Maso)
Ability to see/feel;
Bewilderment as a way of entering the day as much as the work (Fanny Howe)
Relationship between space and silence, dying and speaking
I know who poetry can't accommodate: the tourist. I don't mean it is necessarily more highborn than shell art, though the effort, the ardor of it goes toward being borne up. But I believe it can't be identified with the compulsion to shop instead of the desire to touch, be touched. (C.D. Wright)
Favorite Poet/Poet:
I don't have a favorite poem or poet. I prefer 'open texts' [see Lyn Hejinian: Against Closure/Umberto Eco: The Poetics of the Open Work]. I value multiplicity, reading/viewing experiences that allow me to think/form my own thoughts/understanding; I value work which reveals its complexities & pleasures through re-reading where subsequent reading/viewing produces again an unforeseeable individual experience.
frank ocean, futura free
barry jenkins, moonlight
carol maso, ava
ariana reines, the palace of justice
Paul Celan called poems porous formations,
I wrote PRISON last year at the desk of a job I had accepted to pay for my art. Reines's poem had been with me for years. I still remember what it felt like to read the poem for the first time, how drawn I was to the part that talks about loving someone so well that they would want to be free…I remember wondering if I would have been hired for the job and how turned on I felt by the intelligence of the poet and the enigmatic quality of the poem [that warden!]. I totally got the part about the lipstick… My drawing has its own context, it wasn't intended as an homage to Reines or her poems; however, I did think about her poem while writing the drawing. Her poem 'returned' to me, in a context where poetry wasn't valued, where a certain kind of freedom was at stake.
Writing/repeating PRISON, I felt the impulse to re-read "The Palace of Justice." I wanted to test its mystery, I wanted to test if I had figured it out after all, if some newly acquired life [prison]-experience had made me a better reader of the poem… a better lover. I felt the need to double check the title of the poem. I failed to remember the word 'Justice'. The poem didn't fail me. Its mystery remained intact, I came away feeling somewhat elated. Reines trusts her readers, her skill set is indeed special.
The prison is called The Women's
Palace and it is a progressive prison
Whose warden
Truly loves her women
The palace being a prison for women
Who do not want to be free. I am hired
As the warden's assistant, My skill
Set is special she says.
I want to believe her but I am not sure
She's making fun of me. Still I'm hired.
I am charged to love the women in the palace
So well they'll want to be free
I don't know how to do it I say to the warden.
She smiles, a woman in her sixties in coral lipstick.
I don't know how to do it I say again. I'm scared.
They probably don't want to be free
Because they know more
About freedom than me
I say
To which she says nothing
For a while. You are stupider
Than you look she says
But I believe in you.
Get to work.
"The Palace of Justice" by Ariana Reines, Mercury [Fence Books]
Christine Herzer makes work that offers the viewer a multitude of meanings, moods, and experiences with which to interact, draw nourishment, and form their own understanding. Using gestures of "overwriting," "covering up," "erasing," and accumulation, she explores questions of invisibility, alienation and agency. Christine is the 2018 Laureate "Ecritures" of a writing residency at La Cité des Arts, Paris, where she will be using her ongoing series of ''Written Drawings" as a living archive from which to direct her investigations into such questions as: What is the role of repetition in the creative process? How to show caring/devotion for words, as well as their meanings (emotional centers) and [ab]uses? ORANGE, her new chapbook of poems, will be published by Ugly Duckling Presse (Brooklyn, NY) this summer.

Bali is a real paradise. I love your blog .Its amazing.I have compiled some great Vlogs from youtube on my blog.Have a look
Bali for Indians: The perfect guide to your Bali trip
Posted by Rupal in Honeymoon Destinations, Travel Advice
Bali for Indians: The perfect guide to your Bali trip
Bali is a land of many wonders. It is also a "complete" destination with Gorgeous beaches, Ancient cultures, Terraced paddy fields, Volcanoes, Adventure activities, great night-life and outstanding shopping.
Bali also offers exceptional "villa" style accommodation at very affordable costs. These Villa (one to five bedroom) come with separate walled garden area with a fair sized pools, large sized dining areas and big open spaces. These places are usually in the range of 2000-3500 sq ft. An Indian looking for apartment style options would go crazy with happiness.
Tierra presents Bali for Indians: The perfect guide for the perfect Bali trip
A stay in Bali often revolves around a location close to the beach and a place in the heart of the country-side.
The beach stay location choice often depends on how close you want to be to the action". For the budget traveler, Benoa (near the airport), For the people looking for nightlife and shopping ( and "crowds"), Kuta. For people looking for a greater level of peace without being totally removed from action, Semniyak or Legian or Sanur.
For people who love more quiet, Nusa Dua or even staying in Lombokan island off Bali are not a bad alternatives
In terms of tours and excursion activities possible in Bali, one can divide them into 3 categories.

I am planning a trip to bali in this year i want to know about bali if you could help me than reply asap
Rice Terrace, Waterfall and visiting the temple of Bali is high recommended for your trip to bali. There is a lot place to visit including the beautiful beach in god of island Bali. Kuta and Legian is mostly visiting by the indian guest who love the beach and shopping center in bali.

Hello, your blog really helps for begin my initial planning. We plan to travel with a group of 8 including 2 kids(7 & 3.5yr old) and 2 almost 60yr olds and rest of us are in our 30's.
We are looking at family holiday.
Kids would love some beach and adventure. Not sure what is the age limit for most of the rides and sports. Also the cruise you mentioned which include water activities – is it worth doing with the kinda group we are visiting with.
Also we won't be doing too much cultural stuff as we are from India, do you think 5 days are enough?
very nicely compiled content. helped a lot. thnx

At this time of the year we turn our minds to the question of peace and the reality of conflict. We pursue peace and rightly so, trying to grab it and hoping when we do we can sustain the moment and hold on to it here and now for the benefit of ourselves and those who follow.
We have in the past sent our youth to secure it for ourselves and others. Also, the cost to do this in human terms has been enormous. The alternatives would not bear thinking about. Sadly no sooner is it found in one place and it is then lost somewhere else. But how should we seek peace? Can we pray for it? Yes and no.
One of the reasons for why the sustaining of peace is so illusive is that we tend to try to work at it from the outside in. Controlling the markets, controlling the borders, preventing the speech of those we disagree with and of the imposition of sanctions. There is also the fact that the next generation of society rarely feel the lessons that the previous ones learned. The desire for peace has to be found inside a person first.
Rather than go from the outside in we need to go from the inside out. Sadly knowledge is not enough. There was knowledge of the Great War in the people in the 1930s but they still fought the Second Word War. The USA had experience of War in Korea and still went to Vietnam. The Bible consistently speaks of God giving us a new heart if we place our faith in him. The Holy Spirit will come and dwell within us. When this happens we are helped from the inside out. We can be more like Christ and we can appreciate Christ more.
How many of our leaders talk of new spiritual hearts? Plenty of talk of understanding and of economic prosperity but these are all outward components and what we need is an inward one. Christ promises us this. Come to him and you get a new heart. The path to real lasting peace is not a sanction that drops on a nation like a bomb but Grace that comes from a person trusting Christ. This is how we pray for peace properly and receive it from the inside out.

One of my favorite documentaries of all time is the Occult Experience. Produced in 1989, it shows an array of people involved in occult activities. Among these are Anton LaVey, leader of the Church of Satan from his earlier "Satanis" production, and Michael Aquino and his wife, Lilith, both leaders of the Temple of Set. I like that Satanism was included in this documentary with a straightforward angle, actually getting interviews with the people involved in Satanism and Witchcraft.
This documentary also explores witchcraft with Selena Fox doing an outdoor ritual with her coven. Then they move on to the path of Alexandrian Witchcraft, with a special appearance by the King of the Witches, Alex Sanders in a revealing skyclad ritual. The path of Dianic Wicca is also explored with Z Budapest, a feminist witch. These paths are discussed showing what it is like for a solitary practitioner or in a group setting, for one who belongs to a coven.
In combination with all of this the fantasy artist H R Geiger's work is discussed with the artist himself. It's a short documentary packed with information about how Occultism thrived during that era. It's definitely worth a watch just to see what occultists do. This is a delightful documentary! Below is a preview of this wonderful documentary.
Unfortunately this item is only available as a VHS at Amazon. Hopefully someday they will reissue it as a DVD.

All our Nursery volunteers are required to have been trained in CPR for babies and children, to assure the greatest degree of safety for each child, and parents are encouraged to present themselves as volunteers once or twice a quarter, in order to allow the full-time volunteers the opportunity to obtain their own refreshing in the Lord by attending a full Celebration Service.

Fifteen times if you please.
Round two of Alison Tyler's Smut Marathon is up and running. This was our challenge.
Choose a location described in Round 1. Any location. Except the one you wrote. Keep the location in your mind as you write a 200-word (max) character description of someone who might venture to the location.
Keep in mind that while creativity counts, you can expect (those of you with a little foresight) that you might be asked to include this character (male, female, trans, etc.) in an erotic story in the future. So please, a) no underage. And 2) consider penning a character your readers might like to have a literary romp with. (I mean, you might enjoy describing the next hunchback of Notre Dame but will you want to see him fuck? Maybe. That's up to you.)
Give your character sketch a title. Makes it easier for me with the poll. That doesn't have to count in the 200 words.
What else? Oh, yes, you won't know which locations the other writers have chosen. I don't mind doubles, triples, etc. We'll all find out who chose whose when the stories post and the authors are revealed.
So there you go. Challenge accepted. And it really was a challenge.
Like the first, the different takes on characters are compelling and exciting. So go ahead.
Go fall in love - as many times as you like.
But only one can get your vote.
Spread the word, tell your friends. Voting is open until the May 30. And then come on back to see who won, and who was the first to fall.
Thank y'all.
