37th Annual TOY RUN CAPE TOWN 2019
The Toy Run is South Africa's largest motorcycle ride, and it's all for charity. Every year at the end of November, tens of thousands of bikes rally together for give joy to the needy children of South Africa. Thousands of toys are strapped to bikes and paraded through the major capital cities.
Please support Toy Run Cape Town on Sunday 24th November 2019
Click here for HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE
Whether you donate toys & gifts or funds, you immediately change the lives of children in need in homes, orphanages, places of safety and hospitals around the Western Cape – YOU can make the difference! The Toy Run Cape Town needs more toys to be donated – LOTS more.
AND although we primarily ask for the donation of toys and gifts to the Toy Run, we also need funds to run the event, to pay for the logistics involved with the event and the charity. Unfortunately, while many very generous companies donate their services at cost to the event, there are still costs (traffic control, safety and security, fencing, tents, entertainment, permits, etc)
Please help us help the children – You can easily donate! If you use Snapscan, simply scan the code below and donate or EFT your donation to Toy Run® Nedbank Acc 1676016228 Hout Bay Branch No 167609. Proof of payment can be faxed to 0867329717 or emailed to email@example.com
So PLEASE consider a small donation to help us reach our goal of R200 000
We are also raising funds to support Zanokhanyo Children's Safety Home
Any excess funds will be used to purchase additional toys and gifts for the many hundreds of homes, orphanages, places of safety, hospitals, organisations and disadvantaged communities that rely on the Toy Run to provide toys and gifts for the children in need.
Members of the public are welcome to attend the main Toy Run event to see the motorcycles (or on yours if you have one) and to be part of one of the largest charity events in the country. The motorcycle run itself is FREE – starting from Grand Parade in the City and GrandWest in the North, and ending at Killarney International Raceway Potsdam Road Table View.
PLEASE DO NOT JOIN THE RUN ALONG THE WAY – Please only participate by starting at one of the two official start venues. You can pre-register to participate on the FREE ride HERE.
You can enter Killarney and make your donation of toys and gifts for FREE.
Should you wish to enter the Event Arena, where we will have live music in the form of amazing local bands, comedy, stalls, the bar area and other entertainment, you will need to purchase a ticket right here
Should you wish to donate toys but are unable to attend on the day, you can purchase a toy from our toy registry which will go directly to a needy child by clicking THIS LINK
NO unlicensed riders or vehicles are permitted. (NO children under 16 permitted to ride a bike) Pillions need not be licensed to rider a motorcycle but all normal road rules apply. Please wear a motorcycle helmet and ensure your bike is roadworthy and safe.
We are proud of our looooong good safety record and the Toy Run organisers have donated 1000's of hours of our time for free, to sit down with the City and Traffic officials, we have planned and coordinated the event with the relevant authorities, to as far as possible keep you and your family safe during the event. Please help us keep this excellent record!
That said, anyone attending the event does so entirely at their own risk and by participating indemnifies the organisers, their agents and representatives of any liability, howsoever arising.

I don't understand a lot of the auction results I'm seeing. This noisemaker, a very cool 1960s design by US Metal Toy, is not particularly rare, as it surfaces with regularity. It typically changes hands for $225. As is so often the case here, there were only two determined bidders driving up the price to this wholly unsustainable level. Unless the prevailing bidder offers it to the underbidder, I am certain this price will never again be obtained for this item. Collectors: have patience unless money is no concern.

KENDRA SHOCKER: Ex-Boyfriend Sells Sex Tape to Porn Peddler Vivid, To Be Released in 'Several Weeks!'
Kendra Wilkinson is despairing that it's "the worst scenario she could ever imagine" and she's "devastated and humiliated." Still, we have to ask: Why would you EVER make a sex tape?
Everything was blissful in Kendra Wilkinson's life: Newly wed to Hank Baskett, new mommy to baby Hank IV, buff body back — but now, a new and devastating nightmare has emerged. According to OK! magazine, a "salacious sex tape" has come back to haunt Kendra, 24, and she's trying everything in her power to stop it from getting out in the next several weeks.
Kendra, according to the magazine, was aware of the video, but thought it was made by a "man she trusted" — apparently not. Though it's not clear who sold the tape to porntrepreneurs Vivid Video, "Kendra assumes her ex supplied it."
Her lawyers have issued a cease-and-desist letter to Vivid, but the company says the tape will be released within several weeks.

Early Child Education (ECE) is a branch of education theory which relates to the teaching of young children (formally and informally) up until the age of about eight. Infant/toddler education, a subset of Early child Education , denotes the education of children from birth to age two. In recent years, early childhood education has become a prevalent public policy issue, as municipal, s State funding for pre-K increased by $363.6 million to a total of $5.6 billion, a 6.9% increase from 2012 to 2013. 40 states fund pre-K programs.
In the past decade, there has been a national push for state and federal policy to address the early years as a key component of public education. At the federal level, the Obama administration made the Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge a key tenet of their education reform initiative, awarding $500 million to states with comprehensive early childhood education plans. In addition, a largely Democratic contingent sponsored the Strong Start for America's Children Act in 2013, which provides free early childhood education for low-income families. Specifically, the Act would generate the impetus and support for states to expand ECE; provide funding through formula grants and Title II (Learning Quality Partnerships), III (Child Care) and IV (Maternal, Infant and Home Visiting) funds; and hold participating states accountable for Head Start early learning standards.
OMICS International Organizes 1000+ Global Events Every Year across USA, Europe & Asia with support from 1000 more scientific societies and Publishes 700+ Open access journals which contains over 100000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board and organizing committee members. The conference series website will provide you list and details about the conference organize worldwide.
Scope and Importance:
In recent decades, studies have shown that early childhood education is critical in preparing children to enter and succeed in the (grade school) classroom, diminishing their risk of social-emotional mental health problems and increasing their self-sufficiency as adults. Visual stimulus and response time as early as 3 months can be an indicator of verbal and performance IQ at age 4 years.
Market Analysis:
Currently, one of America's larger challenges regarding ECE is an dearth in workforce, partly due to low compensation for rigorous work. The average early childhood teaching assistant earns an annual salary of $10,500 while the highest paid early childhood educators earn an average $18,000 per year. The turnover of ECE staff averages 31% per year. Another challenge is to ensure the quality of ECE programs. Because ECE is a relatively new field, there is little research and consensus into what makes a good program. However, the National Association of the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is a national organization that has identified evidence-based ECE standards and accredits quality programs. Continuing the leadership role it established with the Common Core, the federal government could play a key role in establishing ECE standards for states.

Apple's new iPhones and iPads sport a really attractive design, and it seems that the best confirmation doesn't come from consumers, but from other companies. We've seen Nokia announce a few days ago their first Android tablet, the N1, which was basically an iPad Mini 3 clone and now Meizu is the next company to replicate one of Apple's products, the iPhone 6 Plus.
The newly announced Meizu MX4 Pro is is a beefed-up version of the MX4 and it is regarded as the flagship device of the company. The smartphone comes with a display that is slightly larger at 5.5-inches has its resolution increased to 2,560 x 1,536. This means that it delivers an impressive 546 PPI, which is a better density than the iPhone 6 Plus' 401 PPI. So while it might look incredibly similar to Apple's new iPhone by design, it comes with some really great features, especially considering its price.
The smartphone is powered by aocto-core big.LITTLE Samsung SoC, which also powers the Galaxy Alpha. The processor contains four Cortex-A15 and four Cortex-A7 CPU cores accompanied by a Mali-T628 MP6 GPU. Meizu says that it is 20 percent more efficient than the previous MediaTek processor in the MX4. It also comes with 3GB of RAM and is available in the following storage options – 16GB/32GB/64G.
Other features of the device include NFC connectivity, LTE support, a 3,350 mAh non-removable battery, new 5MP front facing camera with f/2.2 aperture and 20.7MP Sony IMX220 sensor as the rear camera. The MX4 Pro also comes with a mTouch fingerprint scanner that will allow users to make payments through AliPay starting with next year.
The device also gets a "Retina Sound" feature which is quite a weird name. Meizu has packed a bunch of new chips in this smarphone that can improve the quality and volume of the sound, but only reviews will be able to tell if this isn't just some marketing gimmick. And chances are that this will have an effect on the batter life, as well. The device is running on Flyme 4.1 a modified version of Android 4.4.4which adds voice command plus launch apps with on-screen gestures.
The Meizu MX4 Pro is priced at CN¥2,499 ($410) for 16GB, CN¥2,699 ($440) for 32GB and CN¥3,099 ($510) for the 64GB memory options. At the moment, the handset is only destined for the Chinese market, but chances are that it will become available to international customers at some point in 2015.
So, all in all, this device comes with a high resolution screen, touch fingerprint reader, high-quality audio components and good build quality, which means more pressure on the likes of Xiaomi, OnePlus and Huawei.

As the leading knowledge and technology partner for human services providers nationwide, Netsmart provides expertise, technology, and healthcare connectivity and integration solutions that help addiction treatment, behavioral health and other human services providers deliver effective, outcomes-based services and care to more than 25 million persons nationwide. Netsmart clients include 500,000 users in 24,000 in provider organizations across all 50 states. Netsmart applauds the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for its efforts to update and modernize privacy regulations related to the confidentiality of alcohol and substance use treatment records. In developing the Final Rule, SAMHSA faced the significant challenge of balancing statutory limitations and guardrails with the need to address the varying interests of persons with a history of diagnosis, treatment or referral for substance use disorders (SUD) who wish to consent to disclose their medical records to their treating providers, share some of that information, or opt out of such disclosure.
Our analysis of this rule is based on the following principles:
1) Whether and to what extent a person chooses to share his or her health information is fundamentally a decision that should lie with that person, not the Part 2 program, SAMHSA or the healthcare system. The ultimate goal of consent should be that any person – if they so desire – whether they suffer from a substance use disorder, mental illness, diabetes, cancer or heart disease – have the ability to share his or her health data with their healthcare providers, utilizing today's technology, with equal simplicity. The provisions of the Final Rule make this unattainable for the millions of people with substance use disorders.
2) Many people who have a SUD are reluctant to share their data due to potential impacts on their employment, housing, family lives, relations with child welfare organizations, other personal reasons or just general stigma that is still attached to addiction and substance users. It is important that those who do not want to share treatment information can easily and effectively carry out his or her desires. These persons must be able to choose to opt-out (or not opt-in) to a Health Information Exchange (HIE) for sharing their SUD treatment information.
3) Some persons want to share only segments of their data among their treating providers. Unfortunately, this is not achievable with today's technology. While certain electronic health record (EHR) vendors, such as Netsmart, are able to segment data, most other EHR and HIE vendors will need to modify their systems to perform, respond to and manage this type of segmented data. For this to happen, the federal government will need to design the standards and mandate this capability in some form of regulation (like the HITECH Act) and apply it to all EHR, HIE, population health vendors and care coordination providers. The cost of modifying all these systems will be significant. In the best case, Netsmart believes that a robust system capable of supporting this type of segmented data will not be available for 7-10 more years, rendering the potential for this type of data exchange moot for the near future. In the interim, the vast majority of providers and HIEs will not spend the money to modify their systems to support it.
Unfortunately, the Final Rule retains the original rule's discriminatory impact on people with a history of diagnosis, treatment or referral for SUD who wish to consent today to disclose their medical records to their treating providers using currently available EHR and HIE technology – just like patients with any other illness or chronic disease. For example, a person receiving treatment for diabetes can consent to share his or her data with their treating providers freely with the protection of HIPAA. But if that same person also has a history of SUD treatment and receives treatment from a provider subject to 42 CFR Part 2, that person cannot consent to share their data in the same way as the person with diabetes alone. This creates a discriminatory and unequal healthcare access playing field for persons receiving SUD treatment or with a history of SUD treatment.
The Final Rule made noteworthy progress in several key areas:
To Whom Consent
The Final Rule allows for a consent for the release of SUD treatment information to be executed to an intermediary, such as an HIE, Accountable Care Organization (ACO), Health Home or other care coordination entity whose members have a treating provider relationship with a patient. This simplifies the consent process by permitting disclosure of SUD information with a single patient consent to past, present, and future providers in a care coordination organization, but protects patient privacy by limiting that disclosure to providers that have a treating relationship with the patient.
From Whom Consent
SAMHSA agreed with Netsmart's position and chose not to adopt more stringent From Whom provisions. The Final Rule allows for disclosure to and among the participants in an intermediary, such as an HIE, ACO, Health Home or other care coordination entity. Retaining the existing From Whom regulations allows for multi-party bi-directional consent to facilitate the exchange of a patient's information among multiple treating providers. It also allows for re-disclosure between and among treating providers in a care coordination entity.
The rule also fell short in several important areas:
Lack of Parity: List of Disclosures Requirement
The new simplified To Whom consent process is permitted only if the intermediary party has the ability to track and generate a List of Disclosures, which identifies the recipients of the SUD information for up to the prior two years. The List of Disclosures requirement for SUD information is more robust than the Accounting of Disclosures required under HIPAA. Although the HITECH Act imposed a duty to account for disclosures for treatment (similar to the List of Disclosures), that requirement has not yet been implemented. In addition, the List of Disclosures must be implemented when the intermediary begins utilizing the general designation under the consent process. This may result in significant delays due to cost and technological limitations. Finally, while SAMHSA does not prohibit it, the agency requests that the costs for the List of Disclosures not be passed on to patients.
So in effect, in addition to not being eligible for HITECH Act Meaningful Use financial incentives in parity with physical health, behavioral health and addiction treatment providers now have a more stringent disclosure list compliance burden than medical providers.
Complex Re-Disclosure
The Final Rule only slightly modified the existing prohibition against re-disclosure, making it clear that only data that directly or indirectly identifies a patient as suffering from an SUD is subject to this prohibition. Any information that could potentially identify the patient as suffering from an SUD, such as name, diagnosis, medications or vital signs, each accompanied by the name of the Part 2 program, would be subject to the prohibition. The Preamble to the Final Rule confirms that the disclosure from one treating provider to another treating provider in an HIE would be considered a re-disclosure. Thus, the consent process described above using the retained From Whom provision is necessary to avoid the prohibition when addressing the disclosure and re-disclosure of SUD information in an HIE or integrated care environment.
Increased Patient Risk
These additional restrictions beyond what a person with a physical illness must endure heighten the risk to patient safety from a harmful drug interaction or other causes by making it more difficult and cumbersome for SUD patients
to consent to share medication history and other vital health information with clinicians/prescribers in the emergency department, urgent care and other primary care facilities.
Impractical and Unattainable for HIEs
Many HIEs simply don't have the funding, rules framework or technology to comply with Final Rule requirements, including continued reliance on data segmentation. So while in theory the rule is technologically viable, in the real world the result will be extremely serious: In all probability the easiest way for most HIEs to respond to the new rule will be to continue to refuse to accept data from patients whose health records include SUD data subject to 42 CFR Part 2 protections, thus barring them from receiving the higher quality of care we are striving for as a nation.
We believe that SAMHSA's ability to update privacy and consent regulations is constrained by the existing statutes. To overcome this problem, Netsmart will advocate in Congress for statutory changes to better enable needed changes and attain healthcare parity for this at-risk population and the providers who serve them.

Not that long ago America celebrated the Super Bowl, and one cannot think of these annual gridiron pageants without recalling its many heros. Among these is Joe Montana, the almost legendary quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, who took his team to four Super Bowl victories and who was thrice selected as its MVP. But I am not here to talk football. Not today. Instead, I want to reflect on a trip to find the other Joe, Montana. Not the football player, but a small town . . . no, a whistle-stop hamlet and later a virtual ghost town . . . on the edge of the Montana badlands.
Last week I wrote about the importance of the road trip in general terms. This time I want to focus on one of those special revelations which occur when you arrive at a junction or a fork in the road and decide to travel down that road less taken. The reasons for taking one road over another can be many or few . . . specific or resulting from pure serendipity. Traveling down the road to Joe was a little of both.
Before I start down that road, however, a brief note bene: I have created a companion blog featuring poetry from my book-in-progress, Epiphanies in the rue Sansregret: Poems, 1971-2009. If you are interested, you can check them out at http://www.ruesansregret.blogspot.com/.
And finally, I want to thank my wife Sally Ann for permission to use her wonderful photographs from our trip to Joe, Montana. She has a keen eye for content and composition . . . and my own eyes were on the lookout for cows in the road. You will know what I mean if you read on . . . .
A few years ago I read Jonathan Raban's fascinating book, Bad Land: An American Romance (1996), his thoughtful meditation on the settlement of southeastern Montana following the arrival of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway during the opening decade of the 20th century. The construction crews often followed existing creek beds and coulees as they moved westward from the Dakotas into Montana and beyond. Eventually they arrived at O'Fallon Creek with cottonwoods standing sentinel along its banks. From there they followed the creek to its confluence with the Yellowstone River near Terry, Montana where it linked up to the Northern Pacific Railroad which had already been in existence for two decades.
I first came to these precincts back in the summer of 1970, on that first big road trip across Canada and the northern Great Plains. My friend and I were on a tight schedule on our return to Milwaukee, and the trip coffers, much like the landscapes we were traveling through, were a bit on the dry side, so we could not linger as long as we wanted. We had miles to go before we slept and so we quickly passed through eastern Montana on our way to the badlands of North Dakota where we would overnight. But there was something about this compelling topography of rocks, sagebrush, and overwhelming distances, and I pledged that one day I would return. Reading Raban's book convinced me that I could wait no longer.
Joe, Montana is a recent phenomenon although the town itself had existed for almost a century when I finally arrived in the spring of 2007. If you look for it on the official highway map of Montana, you will not find it. In fact, were it not for Raban's book, I would not have known of its existence. It was strange serendipity for my visit to Joe offered an interesting glimpse into an almost forgotten chapter of the settlement of the western United States.
The railroad's route through the badlands of North Dakota and eastern Montana, and the establishment of towns at regular intervals along its route, were made on a map back in Chicago by men who had likely never ventured west of Minneapolis. "Nothing in the geography prepares one for the arbitrary suddenness of those railroad towns," writes Raban. "For mile after mile, the sagebrush rolls and breaks." Originally platted as a small grid in 1908, the town was first christened Ismay in honor of two young girls, Isabel and May, the daughters of the president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railroad. With the eventual arrival of settlers and homesteaders by rail, the town grew to include modest homes, a mercantile, a post office, a bank, a hotel, as well as the ubiquitous grain elevator and stockyard found in every railroad town. It even had its own newspaper. Farms were established near town and along O'Fallon Creek. As the railroad expanded westward, and as more settlers followed its path in search of land and a better life, Ismay grew and became prosperous. Nearby farms with fields of wheat and pastured cattle added to this prosperity.
The town's name first became an issue in 1912 following the sinking of the Titantic almost a half a world away. J. Bruce Ismay, a managing director of the White Star Line, became synonymous with cowardliness when he pushed past women and children to take a seat in one of the lifeboats. The town's name survived along with the town . . . for a few years, at least. A large cyclone struck in the summer of 1915 causing heavy damage in the town and the surrounding area, but once again Ismay persevered and by 1925 its population had grown to 420 souls.
People continued to flood into the area and more and more farms and ranches made greater demands on the water supplied by O'Fallon Creek and the subterranean aquifer. Crops began to wither and die as did the cattle, and many homesteaders abandoned their dreams to return home or to move farther westward, up to Terry or over to Miles City on the Yellowstone River. Native grasses and sagebrush returned but the land was much diminished from what it had been before the railroad came to the area. There was no reason to stay in or come to Ismay and the town began to die. Over the next six decades the population dwindled away and Ismay fell into disrepair. All that remained was the railroad, the grain elevator, some weather-beaten buildings, and a few hearty souls. There appeared to be no hope for Ismay.
All of this changed in 1993. Once again an event hundreds of miles away impacted on Ismay's chance of survival. Joe Montana, the star quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, who had missed most of the two previous seasons due to an injury, was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in April of that year and local Kansas City radio station KYSS began looking for a gimmick to commemorate this event. It contacted towns across Montana to see if any of them might be willing to change their name to Joe, Montana, at least for the duration of the football season. Many towns either ignored or refused the come-on, yet tiny Ismay, with a population hovering around 25 and the smallest town in Montana, grabbed at straws. Publicity stunt or not, the locals hoped this might bring new life to a town with more ghosts than people. Plans were put in motion to re-christen the town as Joe, Montana on July 3, 1993 while the radio station offered to fly the town's people to Kansas City to watch Joe play. There was televison and newspaper coverage about Joe, Montana across the United States and there was even talk of bringing the townspeople to New York City to appear on David Letterman's late night television show. There was so much attention that the town considered keeping the name after the football season was over. On July 3, a couple thousand people, for whatever reason, descended on Joe, Montana for the festivities. The local post office (yes, there was still a PO in Ismay) issued specially franked envelopes with the postmark "Joe, Montana." There were T-shirts and coffee mugs emblazoned with the town's new name. From all reports it was quite a day.
His own curiosity raised by these events, Jonathan Raban came to Ismay the following year while doing research for his new book on the coming of the railroad to the upper Great Plains. Despite all the ballyhoo from the previous year, the town was much in decay when he arrived, evidence that the earlier hopes of a renaissance for the town and its inhabitants never came to pass. Raban crossed the old wooden bridge over O'Fallon Creek and the single track of the Milwaukee Road, as it is now known. "I was in Ismay - or what had been Ismay but was Ismay no longer. The name on the sign had been painted out and replaced with Joe. Population 28. The only buildings of any substance were the old grain elevator and a new "cinderblock hangar . . . a white elephant" which was the recently constructed fire hall and community center for Joe, Montana. The inside of the unfinished hall was large enough to hold everyone living within a 30+ mile radius of town with plenty of room left over. The town's people . . . the few who were still there . . . had hoped to repeat the "Joe Montana Day" festivities the following year, but no longer news, media interest in the town had evaporated. Also, David Letterman's people allegedly reneged on the offer to bring the local folks to New York, a very sensitive subject Raban quickly discovered when he arrived in town. There was a parade, and fireworks that year, but only a few hundred people showed up, and they came mainly for the local rodeo.
So on a bright, sunny morning in mid-April 2007, my wife and I set off from Miles City and drove east on US Highway 12 into the Montana badlands. After driving some 60 miles through deep valleys, past colorfully striated mesas and hoodoos, and across vast expanses of clay gumbo terrain and sagebrush, we came to the junction with State Route 230, the Old Ismay Road. Here we found a small black on white sign listing the distance to various ranches, and to the towns of Ismay and Mildred. Looking at the mileages listed, it appeared that most of the inhabitants along this road resided between Ismay (6 miles) and Mildred some 16 miles beyond. Behind this sign was a much larger and substantial one with an arrow and bold red lettering: JOE MT.
We turned north and I was reminded of lyrics from Bruce Springsteen's song "Cautious Man":
He got dressed in the moonlight and
down to the highway he strode
When he got there he didn't find
nothing but road.
The six miles between the main highway and Ismay/Joe is flat and almost featureless, save the rocks and the sagebrush, and when we arrived we found the town much as Raban did several years before us . . . "melting rapidly back into the earth." There was no sign welcoming us, but there next to the railroad crossing at the edge of town, tied to a fencepost, was an old tire on which someone had painted an appropriate caveat COWS ON ROAD. Since leaving the highway, we saw not a single man, woman or child; just rocks and sagebrush and an occasional cow along the road to Joe.
If Ismay/Joe is not a ghost town, by all appearances it qualifies as one. There were no stores or other commercial ventures in town save the old grain elevator next to the railroad track and siding. A couple empty freight cars sat off to one side and there was a pick-up parked next to the elevator and occasionally I caught a glimpse of a man walking past an open door. Otherwise, we felt like we were the only ones around. There was no bank, and the post office had a sign on the door announcing it was closed. It looked like it had been that way for quite some time. The streets were still unpaved and some were deeply rutted. There had been traffic here at one time, but not that day. The only evidence attesting to the anticipated rebirth of the town back in the early 1990s was the large "community" center and fire hall. No longer the "cinderblock hangar" of Raban's day, it was now cloaked in red siding with large lettering over the door: JOE MONTANA CENTER. The place was closed and locked. I peered though the window and it looked like it was used mostly
for storage. I saw no fire engines anywhere. I had a lot of questions about Joe, Montana, and so while Sally Ann took photographs - "it's a sepia kind of town" she later told me - I wandered around town in search of a Joeite who might be able to answer them. There was no one to be found and that fact alone answered my most pressing question. "Whatever happened to Joe, Montana since 1993?" In simple terms, not much of anything at all.
The original Joe Montana, on the other hand, had a pretty good year after being traded to Kansas City in 1993. Despite some injuries he led the Chiefs to the play-offs and the AFC championship which it lost to the Buffalo Bills. He had one more season in Kansas City, and another trip to the play-offs before he retired in early 1995. Ismay/Joe had only one brief moment in the spotlight and that was it. There is not much to show for its century of hardscrabble life along O'Fallon Creek, and I suspect that when I return, if I ever return, there will be even less to look at. Probably more rocks and sagebrush . . . and a few more ghosts of the past. But I am glad we decided to drive down that road to Joe. Perhaps a cautious reminder of what can happen to the best of dreams.

Opened: April 1977
Manufactured By: Gebrüder Ihle – Bruchsal, Germany
Number Of Cars: 40
Ride Capacity: 80 (2 per car)
For at least 26 years, the Dodgem Hall had been located near the center of the Midway. It became the Auto Skooter from 1966 until 1977 when it was replaced by the Scamper bumper cars for kids. Simultaneously, a new regular-sized bumper car ride, Boomerang, opened in a new building on the North Midway where the Zugspitz had been since 1973.
The cars are identical except for the color and the "Ford", "Opel" and "Benz" names on the front of the car. Little has changed on this ride since it opened. Before the current color scheme, the exterior was painted dark and light brown. There were detailed paintings of antique cars across the top with the year, make and model of each listed below them. These were painted over in the early '00s. The interior walls were repainted in the '90s with a large Lagoon and Pioneer Village logo and again around 2001. New pictures of antique cars were added in 2003 and the sign on the front above the entrance was replaced a few years later. In July 2015, the sign was updated a third time.

How to greet someone in Europe
We've all been there. Had that awkward moment when we've been unsure whether to lean in for the kiss, shake someone's hand, just say hello, or do something more weird and wonderful.
So we've created a handy guide for what to do in different countries to help you be more prepared next time…Of course we're not going to say this list is in any way definitive: we'd be here forever if we ran through the norms in every European country, while everyone we've spoken to from each of the countries we've listed has said that there are regional variations and other dependencies on how well you know someone. However we hope this serves as a good starter for ten.
The UK
In old Blighty we're known for being quite polite and restrained (generally), so handshakes are quite common in formal settings, for both men and women. Between friends hugging is also quite popular, and we're also starting to get more comfortable with the odd cheek kiss, but perhaps moreso among London luvvies and hipsters. Anything more than that and you start to see fidgets and beads of sweats forming on brows not used to such displays of affection.
In saying that, we'll always make sure introductions are made whenever someone new is brought into either a formal or informal setting. And we'll probably offer a cup of tea too.
In the northern cities a kiss (or at least the gesture of one) on one cheek is quite normal, however in Bavaria this would be much rarer. A handshake (with or without a one-armed hug, depending on how well you know someone) is much more commonplace.
Don't assume you'll be introduced to everyone you meet though, newcomers are often expected to introduce themselves in a group situation, and might be greeted with just a wave if the group is larger.
Possibly one of the easiest to remember – in Sweden it's always a handshake. Never kiss! Another important thing to remember in Sweden is that personal space is quite important and getting to physically close to someone can be off-putting, keep your distance and you'll be fine.
And just like in Germany, you'll need to introduce yourself to new people, no-one's going to do it for you!
While older generations take a more traditional approach to greetings (some men would still offer to kiss a lady's hand on greeting her), handshakes are now more commonplace among both men and women. Women will often go for a kiss on both cheeks with another woman they know.
However, Romanians will very rarely go for a hug.
In Spain there is a quite a distinct difference between formal and informal greetings. Someone you may know well enough to kiss in a public place, you would only ever be formal with if you met them at work. Men will shake hands, and only if they are very friendly will be comfortable with cheek-kissing.
In an informal setting, women are very happy to kiss on both cheeks. And yes, always two. No more, no less. The Spanish can also be quite tactile in general so hugging or touching is more acceptable.
Of course, we all know that in France cheek kissing is à la mode, n'est-ce pas? In truth it depends where you are. Parisians are more a fan of one cheek, whereas if you move to the south west, three might be more popular. Some areas even go up to four, which can make the "good-bye round" when leaving an event really quite drawn out.
While there may be a penchant for a kiss (and yes, guys are very happy to kiss guys), hugging is far less common. Handshakes however, can be very popular. In North West France, colleagues may shake everyone's hand every day when they come in to the office – whether they know them or not.
In summary…
Hopefully now you'll now know exactly what to do if you find yourself at a formal meeting in south west France, with a female Spanish colleague, who doesn't know your Romanian and German friends (who are also present), but has previously met your Swedish next-door neighbour at an informal occasion.
We'd love to hear about etiquette wherever you are, or any variation on the above, so please do leave a comment or tweet us with anything you've seen or experienced.

High School Sports
Kentucky's oldest soccer ref uses savvy, fitness to stay ahead of the action
Play picks up in the final minutes of a scoreless soccer scrimmage, the Lexington Catholic and Henry Clay girls desperately trying to put a shot on net.
All but invisible in the middle of the field is Aubrey Cashman, the referee.
All but invisible because Cashman seems to have a sixth sense that allows him to be in the midst of the action without getting in the way.
And he does so at age 79 — the oldest certified official working high school matches in Kentucky.
"I admire him. Definitely," Henry Clay Coach Mebit Aragaw said after Tuesday's 0-0 draw. "And he's still one of the best."
"He is a father figure to all soccer players and coaches. Kentucky soccer is lucky to have Mr. Aubrey."
Lexington Catholic Coach Terry Quigley has known Cashman, a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, for nearly 30 years.
"He is one of those people that is very affable. Somebody that just is warm; he's got that Irish brogue going," Quigley said. "And I think he runs the field as well as he did 30 years ago. It's always good to have him."
Cashman, a former professional player, is in his 28th season as a Kentucky official. He wants to reach 30 years of service, which would put him at 81.
He loves "the beautiful game" that much.
"I do. I want to keep fit," Cashman said. "My dad was 95 when he died, and I want to live to 95 if I can. And this helps me quite a bit.
"I get plenty of sleep and I eat well. I don't smoke."
At 5-foot-5, 172 pounds, Cashman still shows flashes of his days as a fireplug of a sweeper — or center halfback, as his position was called.
Working the lines with him for the scoreless scrimmage were Henry Woo, a spry 70, and Frank LaBoone, a mere lad of 61. Together, the three have 74 years of officiating experience.
"I've learned something from them each time I've refereed," LaBoone said. "While they're not the fastest afoot on the field, they have the ability to be in the right spot at the right angle to see what needs to be seen.
"Sometimes people can accomplish that with speed, and sometimes people can accomplish it with experience and technique and strategy to know where I need to be when the ball's in certain spots. That's what I try to learn from them."
Cashman attended high school and college in Northern Ireland, earning a degree in mechanical engineering.
He came to Toronto in 1957 to work and play soccer. A year later, he arrived in the Unites States to play for the Cleveland Hibernians.
Then came two years in the military and various stops around the United States.
He came to Lexington from New Orleans in 1980 to work for IBM. He later worked for the city and is now retired.
Retired from work, but not from play.
He spends October through April at his second home, in Florida. There he swims, golfs and walks 3 to 5 miles a day.
Cashman and his wife, Brigid, have four children and seven grandchildren. All the grandchildren play organized soccer.
Cashman might be the biggest kid of all, though, having fun with the game he loves. He expects a certain level of abuse from players and coaches, but he respects the passion.
"I don't give out red cards," he said. "You have to earn them."
"The majority of the time you just talk to the player," Woo said. "Tell them to behave themselves or otherwise there will be serious consequences; and they quit. They will listen to you. We have quite a few other individuals (officials), they just flash the card immediately."
To which Cashman said, "They lose respect, we lose respect when you do that. You have to talk to these kids. It's a learning process."

Michal Blutrich created this space-saving living room set of flat furniture pieces that can be stacked in one single tower, or laid out for guests. This collection of furniture titled 'Pile' is comprised of multi-colored blue mats that act as comfortable floor seating. There are also neck-supporting pillows that can act as a cushion to sit on, or a pillow for the user's head. In addition, there is a single table and a lamp.
The table and the lamp both fit into strategically placed holes in the flat blue cushions. This allows users to host dinner parties and game nights without worrying about using space-engulfing tables, or having enough room for guests.
Pile is a unique way to utilize living spaces without having to constantly move and rearrange furniture. Pile is a small and lightweight flat furniture collection, so it can easily be stacked and stored when not in use.

A view from a small hill that sits along side the Gary Junction Road. A road originally made in the 1960's by a party of men who went with the name "The gunbarrel road construction party", these men also made the famous Gunbarrel highway and opened up many of Australia's deserts by building access roads.
In the distance (just south of west) you can see a bush fire burning. The photographer camped not too far away from this spot after finding a "nice" (already burned) camping spot.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.

We are your transformation experts, focusing on the human side of change. Because we are passionate about creating lasting transformation and impact.
We support your organization to embrace the complexities associated with digital change. We offer to facilitate your transformation with change management tools & communication measures.
We help you reach your project goal by combining success psychology, coaching and expertise in digital change. Focused, on eye-level, and based on the renowned Prosci® framework.
The reason why some transformation projects fail and others succeed is as simple as it is complex. It's the people who are involved – or not.
We base our organizational change management approach on our ONE Goal® method. A highly efficient methodology building on many years of experience with the drivers of successful change projects. Results-oriented and all focused on the human side.
To enable change on the team level, we offer workshops and coaching to support leaders and their teams in embracing change.
Our team of coaches and consultants recognizes the importance of focusing on psychology of humans, particularly when it comes to large transformations. Even the most complex change projects will be successful when you have a supportive leadership and organization.
Helping you with how to spread enthusiasm around challenging digital changes is our strength. We know how to engage people and create a positive mindset. "Change happens one person at a time" – valuing these wise words, we target our methods to the individual as well as the organizational level.
Our FocusFirst team comes from a diverse variety of backgrounds. However, we have a significant experience with digital projects, particularly in global corporate environments.
We help organizations as they are going through major digital transformations – whether it is the rollout of a new tool, a changing work environment or developing a digital mindset. Our experts are experienced in regional and global rollouts, and know the quirks of project management. Our experience in big global companies helps us to quickly grasp the situation and come up with effective actions.
We constantly experience change. At home, outside on the streets or at work. Change is everywhere. And how do we experience change? With all senses. We see the company's rebranded logo, we hear the opening of an unknown car door, we smell the new desk's wood, we feel the cover of a special book and we taste the piece of chocolate handed to us during a workshop. Through our senses we as human beings keep certain situations in our memory. They anchor themselves there. We call them: positive anchors.
We at FocusFirst combine good design with our senses. Workshops become an event, a project gets a heart and a soul. With good design, we keep these positive experiences and happenings in our mind.
( 円相, Japanese: circle)
The Ensō symbolizes illumination, strength, elegance, the universe and empty space. It resembles oneness, it embraces antagonisms, it is no either-or but an as-well-as.
The Ensō is drawn by a single fluid stroke of the brush in Zen painting. In the philosophy of Zen Buddhism, drawing an Ensō constitutes a moment, when the mind is free, and body and soul focus entirely on the creation process. Only someone who is internally composed and level-headed can paint a well-balanced Ensō.
The circle is a symbol of "true reality". Ensō are imperfect ergo unique – like the human beings who created them. The goal is not to be perfect but real, authentic, human. And this is exactly how we inspire people to change.
FocusFirst® – the human side of change.

Born in 1972, Erik Pflueger is a graduate of the Ringling School of Art and Design, one of the most prestigious art colleges in the United States, graduating in 1994 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in illustration.
In that same year, he formed CygnusArts, Inc., a graphic design/illustration firm. After accumulating years of experience designing graphics and logos, he expanded in 2000 to include commercial and residential architectural renderings for several prestigious design firms, as well as interior renderings for interior designers and decorators. In early 2003, he received his first illustration commission for a children's book. In 2010, he illustrated his first album cover, and in 2012 expanded into the fine arts.
Erik Pflueger established CygnusArts with the idea that art and commerce are not mutually exclusive. Rather, commerce is well served by art and, if that art is created with pride and care, will continue to be, far into the future.

I am sure we've all (at least around these rarefied parts) at some time asked ourselves: "Am I saving enough for retirement?"
For years, it's been a boringly predictable question that has been used to frighten people into upping the amount that they put into their pensions.
Towards the end of every tax year, for instance, the usual scare-story projections are trotted out by lazy journalists looking to file a feature on SIPPs or Additional Voluntary Contributions.
IFAs – those fine, upstanding members of the community – are also keen advocates of the 'are you saving enough for retirement' question.
(You're not? Well, they have just the product for you.)
Most Monevator readers, I'd guess, will have long since learned to switch off when they see the words. Broadly speaking, we will have decided years ago what level of saving was appropriate for our circumstances, and proceeded accordingly.
The savings vehicle of choice might have differed – one man's SIPP is another woman's ISA, and all that – but there would be no denying the commitment to serious saving and investing.
Miserly returns
Up until recently, I'd have put myself very firmly in that camp, too.
Now, I'm not so sure.
Take a look at the UK's latest historic equity returns, as published in the prestigious Barclays Equity Gilt Study 2016, released in March.
Continuously published since 1956, the Barclays study tracks the real (after inflation) returns on cash, equities, and bonds, all the way back to 1899.
Here are the real returns (% per annum) for UK equities, gilts, and cash:
|10 years
|20 years
|50 years
|116 years
|Equities (shares)
|Government bonds (gilts)
No surprises there, perhaps. 2015 was a dud, and real returns from equities over the past ten years were just 2.3% a year. Only over the past 20 and 50 years do we see serious returns being achieved.
The only consolation is that cash and bonds didn't do much better, either, although gilts have fractionally outperformed equities over ten and 20 years.
So much for the risk premium, Mr Ross Goobey1.
Rear view vision
Now let's turn the clock back ten years, and look at the 2006 edition of the Barclays Equity Gilt Study.
UK equity real returns (% per annum) as per a decade ago:
|10 years
|20 years
|50 years
|106 years
You don't need to have made a recent visit to Specsavers to see the difference.
Ten years ago, the expectations of equity returns, based on past returns, were very different from those of today – and much, much, higher.
And that, what's more, was in 2006 – in other words, a time when the UK's stock markets were well into the post-dotcom 'lost decade'.
Take the equity returns you'd have been looking at in 2005 as having been accrued over the previous 20 years, for instance: 7.4% a year. Incredibly, that's twice the return of 3.7% seen in our latest figures.
The past ten years? 5.0% a year in 2005 – just over twice the return seen in the latest figures.
Flawed assumption?
All of which matters – at least to many Monevator readers – because the mid-2000s was when many of us were formulating our retirement plans.
Looking back at my own spreadsheets, for instance, I see that I was pumping £530 a month into various retirement-related investment vehicles, by way of regular monthly savings.
That's net of any tax relief, and also excludes any end-of-year lump sum investments made for tax purposes.
Small beer to some, perhaps. But, totaling it all up, I was probably putting aside £9,000-£10,000 a year.
Again, small beer to some. But significant enough at the time, and especially so given my own circumstances, with one child still in primary school, and one just started in secondary school.
Save more! Save more!
The point is this: doing those same sort of calculations today, and looking at today's expected investing returns, those Barclays Equity Gilt Study figures suggest that I would need to be putting aside considerably more.
And I'm not at all sure that would be possible, for someone at a similar stage of life, and with similar financial circumstances.
Heck, even though I'm in the fortunate position of being able to invest considerably more these days, it's still a pinch at times – even though one child has left home, and the other is at university.
What to make of it all?
For me, the bottom line is that even though I was aware – on an intellectual level – that returns over the past few years had been lower, I was unprepared for how much lower they appear to have been.
Or that even though 2015 saw the FTSE 100 finally surpass its dotcom peak – some 15 years afterwards – the intervening years were so dismal as to still halve the long-term returns compared to 2006.
Am I saving enough for retirement? Possibly so. Just.
But I bet many others aren't, even though they thought that they were.
Note: You might want read all Greybeard's previous posts about deaccumulation and retirement.
- George Ross Goobey was the fund manager who in the late 1940s and 1950s famously persuaded pension funds to invest in equities, not just gilts. [↩]

Getting That Job: A Resume For Success
Recently I have been looking into the job market, and working out where my current skill set can take me. Over the past few weeks, I have learned a tremendous amount about looking for the right jobs and companies that fit me, creating resumes and cover letters and presenting yourself at job interviews.
Since I've now had time to synthesise and apply all that I've learned, I've decided to share it with you in my new writing series, titled Getting That Job. In this series, I hope to share with you all that I've learned recently and hope it helps you in your search for that fulfilling job you've been looking for.
So without further ado, I present to you part one of this new series, Getting That Job: A Resume For Success.
When I started my job search, I quickly realised I needed to put together my resume. After trawling through my hard drive, I found that my most recent resume was the one that I'd created in high school, that still mentioned my primary school house captaincy role. Deciding it was time for a refresh I searched through all the online material I could find, to work out exactly what my resume needed to contain.
Here are the key components that you really should cover in your resume, in order to succinctly show the reader your background and experience:
- Your Name and Contact Details
Employers want to quickly see who you are and how to get in touch with you.
- Education History
A crucial component of any resume, make sure you highlight where you've studied and trained. If you graduated with applause-worthy grades, you might like to emphasise that as well.
- Work Experience
This section is where you cover the relevant experience you've had, that has prepared you for this position. This area should be modified for different job applications, depending what the role requirements are.
- Volunteer Work
Often volunteer work provides you with an entirely different skill set to your career path of choice. These skills may complement the position you're applying for, so if relevant, definitely consider including it. If you have a leadership position, that may also be a good point to highlight.
- Relevant Skills
This part is another area that should be individualised to fit each application. From your list of skills, pick around ten to highlight on your resume. Make sure those ten skills relate directly to the position description, without solely copying and pasting words from it.
These items should be tailored to the jobs you're applying for, some skills may be highly relevant for one job but not at all for another. The less general and more detail orientated you are the better. Show the employer that you can put in the effort to give them a unique application, rather than the one you sent out 100 times.
After you've sorted out the essential content of your resume that's going to tell your story the best, while highlighting your main accomplishments, it's time to start putting it all together. Sometimes it pays to stand out from the crowd and get a little creative, just don't go overboard. I like to use the resume templates from Canva, there are hundreds to choose from, and most of them are free.
Keep your resume simple and concise, and make your resume easy to read. Whoever is reading your resume most likely has quite a few others to look at, so don't make them hunt for vital information.
Proofread, Proofread, Proofread! Send it to a few family members and friends, and get them to hunt for any spelling or grammatical errors. You want your first impression to be a good one, not one with poorly formed sentences and incorrectly spelled words. Attention to detail is a crucial step in this process, don't let yourself fall in an easily fixed area.
So now it's your turn to go and make your resume. Let me know how you go, and I'd be happy to have a look at your resume and provide some comments if you'd like. I'll be back next week with part two of this series, this time focusing on cover letters.
Best Wishes,

Ike Anigbogu has been assigned to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the G League. This timing is ideal as the Mad Ants have a four-game homestand over the next dozen days.
Anigbogu is the first Pacer to be assigned to the Mad Ants this season. Alex Poythress and Edmond Sumner, both of whom are on a two-way deal, have yet to suit up for the Pacers' G League affiliate. (Sumner due to injury rehabilitation.)
From October 2: Anigbogu scrimmages for the first time
By joining the Mad Ants, he'll be thrusted right into the starting lineup and will allow for him to get additional playing time.
That's the biggest challenge for young players in the NBA. If they are outside the rotation, they get out of game shape and typically are a limited participant in practice. And that's why it's imperative for someone like Anigbogu to work before and after practice, and on his own time.
Anigbogu, the 47th overall pick in last June's draft out of UCLA, has appeared in six games for the 6-8 Pacers – never playing more than five minutes in one game.
He scored his first career points (4) on Oct. 31 in a 101-83 win over Sacramento. Afterwards, he discussed it in the locker room saying, "This moment I'll never forget."
Interesting to observe Thad Young have a teaching moment with rookie Ike Anigbogu postgame. He shared with him how he'll get to a point where he knows every player's responsibility with each offensive set.— Scott Agness (@ScottAgness) November 13, 2017

Friday on Fox Business Network's "Varney & Company," Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called the U.S. strikes against an air base in Syria in response to a chemical weapons attack "unconstitutional."
According to Paul, the president should have come to Congress and he also questioned the wisdom of the attack because down the road it may have unintended consequences.
"The only way the president is allowed to act unilaterally is to prevent an imminent attack or to respond to an imminent attack," Paul said. "Even when we were attacked at Pearl Harbor, FDR came the next morning and asked Congress for approval before he did anything."
"I think it is unconstitutional," he added. "The question whether or not is advisable, we should have a big robust debate. In the Iraq war, everyone was gleeful to go after an evil dictator — Saddam Hussein. And yet, the end result was Iran became stronger. And now, the same loud cries for war against Hussein are the same loud cries for war against Iran. So if we topple … Assad, what comes next? Would we like the Islamic rebels to take over? Perhaps they hate us and Israel more than Assad does."
