Assistants to Infancy practitioners are trained to support families and children through the stages of pregnancy and birth and to work with children during the earliest years. Two distinct Montessori environments, the Nido and the Infant Community, emerge as places which can meet the constantly changing needs of children of this age group. The guide's role requires acquiring a healthy respect, knowledge and recognition of nature's design for development, cultivating an understanding of the usefulness of collaborative relationships with both family and the child, and stresses the vital importance of providing a setting filled with enriched language and movement opportunities for the child.

Skip to comments.HOAX EXPOSED: NYT Edited Version Of Bundy Comments
Posted on 04/24/2014 3:37:15 PM PDT by stirrinthepuddin
Watch Bundy explain how we need to keep things from going backwards for blacks, and how the Federal government has created a neo-slave class via entitlement dependency that is so bad it is arguably worse than plantation slavery was.
It is 100% clear that Cliven Bundy is not saying that blacks should be slaves picking cotton, but that the Federal government has created conditions for them so terrible, that their current situation may actually be worse. (If you are person of low intelligence, the fact that that is his point might be too hard for you to understand.) And hes not blaming blacks for the issues of abortions, and crime and broken families, hes blaming the Feds.

Whats interesting is how many Freepers ran around toeing the liberal line on this today. They are as much a fraud as Beck, Hannity and Reid.
The guy is an idiot. Who, in their right mind, brings this stuff up in front of a camera.
He is not "We the people."
I noticed immediately when I joined this forum that there was a significant minority of Freepers who can be relied upon to do that. Once again, about half the population is below average.
I knew the Slimes was faking the story. It was just too convenient for a sagebrush hero to suddenly be exposed as an inarticulate, racist hayseed.
And they and their counterparts across the web are the SOLE reason conservatives can never get on the same page.
And until we are rid of their leftism we never will get on the same page.
I am 'half' black and found nothing racist in what the man said!
Of course we tend to find 'hidden meanings' when we want to be 'offended'!
A case can be made that when someone is "slimed", as in "...the Neu Yuk Slimes reported", and since Ghostbusters doesn't answer their phone, Free Republic must do the 'de-sliming".
Fortunately, we are very good at it.
"The guys is an idiot''. He's too stupid to be an idiot.
Howsabout this from the donkey's mouth.
After taking credit for Republican efforts toward equality and gaining support from black voters, LBJ needed to devise a plan to undermine the black community while retaining the new voter base. LBJ's "Great Society" plan, along with Left-wing Progressive ideologues successfully did just that.
Touting his underlying intentions for the "Great Society" programs, LBJ confided with two like-minded governors on Air Force One, stating- "I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years."
How quickly some forget.
To any doubters copy, paste and look it up.
It's the only way you'll learn.
We'd be even better if "Slimer" wasn't the official mascot of FR's RINO wing.
Some media weasel probably asked bunny about blacks, and he went off, because he is not media savvy, and although right on his ranch issue, 68% a dope and a doofus.
I nominate myself for this position. I will need to be funded. If someone can call the evil Koch brothers for me, that would be appreciated.
And these talk radio types need to be proactive, too. Beck interviewed him, Hannity interviewed him...how about during the commercial break one of them tells him NOT to discuss "negroes" or "the gays" ?
> A case can be made that when someone is slimed, as in

> Fortunately, we are very good at it.
Unfortunately, the damage is done, and it can't be fixed. It is likely that nobody will hear about it from the MSM. I don't expect a retraction from the NY Slimes tomorrow.
We were able to prevail against the drooling Dan Rather, but those kinds of victories against the MSM are very few and very far between.
Excellent catch! Of course, the NYT edits out the good part!.The edit out the context. The bastards!
The MSM reads Alinsky's Rules too.
Cliven Bundy has to be very careful about what he says be cause the far left hate him and will do anything to destroy him. He should keep what he thinks to himself to avoid entrapment.
And Beck and Hannity ran with the NYT version.

Top Fashion Tips for Spring and Summer
March 20, 2015
Spring is just around the corner – time to start planning your warm-weather wardrobe updates. To help you stay on top of the trends for spring 2014, we asked the experts for advice. Lynne Riding, who is the fashion coordinator at The Art Institute of Charleston, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta, and Dr. Courtney A. Hammonds, who has the same role at The Art Institute of Atlanta-Decatur, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta, were happy to offer some pointers.
Q: What are the top five trends for Spring 2014?
A: "Look for clean, simple lines," says Riding. "You'll also see pleats, sheers and lace, and prints – both floral and graphic." Hammonds agrees that pleats, especially knife pleats, will be big this spring. "Graphic prints are a major trend, using written words embroidered or printed across ready-to-wear garments," he adds. "We'll also see accessories with metallic touches, in gold and bronze this year."
Q: What are this spring's top colors?
A: Both of our experts agree that lilac and other pastels are the most important color story for spring. Greens, especially mint green, are also big. "Muted and sophisticated tones predominate, although brights are also seen, particularly when paired with metallic touches," Hammonds says.
Q: What one piece should everyone consider adding to their wardrobe to be on trend for spring?
A: "A poplin dress shirt in white, lilac or mint green is a great spring/summer addition," says Riding. "It could either be a long wrap shirt without buttons or a long shirt worn on the hips with a belt." Hammonds recommends adding a modern accessory, such as a metallic bag or clutch, statement eye frames, or even a metallic shoe that can go from day to night.
Some other ideas to give your wardrobe the fashion edge this spring? Consider a longer skirt (mid-calf or upper ankle length), wearing a classic shirt untucked with the bottom several buttons undone, a wardrobe item or accessory with fringe. And be sure to hang on to fashions with color blocking. Riding says this trend is continuing to be popular.
Whatever you do, Hammonds advises, dare to be edgy and always be true to yourself and your personal style. Riding adds, "A trend only works if it works for you. Does it fit your style, your lifestyle, what's flattering? For instance, if lilac is not your color, don't add a lilac dress to your wardrobe. Instead, choose a flower print that includes lilac or wear a print skirt with lilac tones along with a crisp white shirt. "

Construction of the new track facility began on June 25, 2012. The track is now complete and opened in March of 2013.
Below are photos during the construction.
The track was constructed in 1979. The surface, rubberized asphalt, was typical for tracks constructed at that time. It has a limited ability for repairs and maintenance, and has a typical life expectancy of 12-15 years. Starting in the mid-1980's, rubberized asphalt was rarely used for new tracks.
The current track has:

Crop top - The Look Vault (Here)
Cut Off Shorts - The Look Vault (Here)
Flower Crown - Market Stall
Lipstick - Kinda Sexy MAC
There are never enough sights to see when I'm in the capital so after my shoot over the weekend we decided to visit the River Thames and grab some lunch to picnic with in the Victoria Embankment Gardens! I have never been there before and seriously felt like I was back in Barcelona again, such a beautiful summer location. I was feeling super floral in this cute Look Vault duo and actually said "a flower crown would be perfect to top off my festival flow" talk about the law of attraction... a stall over the way was selling many as we walked past and I got my hands on this light pink one. I hope the weather stays with us for a little, i'm feeling oh so cheerful.

Struggling to Find That Stat? Research Tips for Social Media Marketers
Content may be king, but poorly researched content can make you look more like the court jester.
Developing your research skills will ensure that your writing for content marketing and social sharing helps solidify your reputation as an expert in your field. But it's a wild and woolly world of information out there, and it can sometimes be tricky to find the precise bit of data you're looking for from a credible source.
Even if you do strike research gold, you can still go wrong by using statistics incorrectly—something even professional journalists can struggle with. So, what's an aspiring marketer to do?
In this guide, you'll learn how to conduct effective online research to provide a solid basis for all of the content you create.
Research tools
Google, of course, is an online researcher's best friend—but it can also be your worst enemy, sucking you into time-wasting dead ends as you hunt for information. It can also lead you astray, since it returns information unfiltered for credibility. Remember: Just because you found a "fact" on the internet doesn't make it true.
First, let's talk about how to use some advanced search techniques to target your research efforts and minimize the amount of time you spend searching through irrelevant information.
Google search operators and advanced search
Google search operators can help you find precisely what you're looking for by narrowing down the potential matches to your search. Some of the most useful include:
- "": Placing a search string in quotation marks tells Google that you're searching for a specific phrase, rather than just a combination of words (example: "online research strategies").
- *: An asterisk acts as a wildcard, allowing Google to fill in the blanks (example: "to * own self be true").
- Site: This operator allows you to search only the results from a specific website. This is particularly helpful if a website does not have its own search field. Be sure not to insert a space after the colon (example: site:Hootsuite.com add stream).
- ..: Placing two periods between numbers instructs Google to search for any numbers in that range (example: Space Shuttle 1981..2011).
You can also use Google's advanced search page to narrow your results by language, region, file type, and more, without having to memorize any search operators.
Boolean search operators
Boolean search is named after George Boole, a 19th century British mathematician who developed much of the logic that underpins how we use search engines to find what we're looking for online. These search terms can be helpful in targeting your results in search beyond the search engines, like when searching within a specific website, social network, or online database.
- AND: Using AND between two search terms indicates that you only want results that include both search terms. For example, searching Instagram AND Facebook AND Snapchat will reveal only sources that mention all three of these social networks. Keep in mind that Google automatically treat all searches as AND searches.
- OR: Using OR between search terms indicates that you want to search for any of the terms rather than all. So, searching for Instagram OR Facebook OR Snapchat will return sources that mention only Instagram, sources that mention only Facebook, and sources that mention only Snapchat, as well as sources that mention any combination of these networks.
- NOT: Using NOT before a search term eliminates results that include that term. So, searching Instagram NOT Facebook would return only sources that mention Instagram but do not mention its parent company, Facebook. When using Google, place a minus sign in front of the term instead of using the word NOT, like this: Instagram -Facebook.
Research tips and best practices
Filter results by date
While information doesn't come with a clear best-before date, it's only useful if it's current. When searching for information in Google, go to Search Tools, then click on Any time to bring up a drop-down menu that allows you select a specific date range for your search, or to search only for information from the last day, week, month, or year.
Search for embeddable social media posts
Sometimes the best way to quote a source or provide an example is to embed the original social post in your content, like this:
After all, there's no chance of misquoting when you're directly sharing the original source.
Facebook search allows you to find relevant Facebook posts, but you can only embed those that are set to public.
On Twitter, you can use advanced search functions to find posts by user, date, search terms, language, and even mood, or use all of these in combination to laser-target your search. You can also use Hootsuite Pro's advanced search capabilities to search for and follow conversations about particular topics on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
If you know you'll regularly need updated information about a certain topic, you can then use your findings to set up a Hootsuite stream to keep tabs on what authoritative sources are saying on social media so you always have a prescreened go file ready when you need new details.
Find the original source
When you begin your research online, you're likely to come across a lot of news articles or compilations of statistics. These can be a great starting point for your research, but you need to dig deeper to find the original source.
For example, this Marketwatch article says that Instagram surpassed 500 million monthly active users in June. But Marketwatch is not the source of the information, so you need to keep going to find the original source to cite yourself.
The Marketwatch article cites an Instagram blog post, but does not provide a direct link. Still, it's pretty easy to find—just Google "Instagram blog" "500 million" and the blog post appears as the first search result. You now have an original source to cite directly in your own article.
Use consistently reliable sources
With so much information out there, it's important to start building a list of credible sources of good information that's relevant to your industry. When looking for statistics or other information about a company, the best place to start is the company itself, as in the Instagram blog post mentioned above.
Good places to search include the company's blog, news or media relations page, and about page. For example, you can learn from the Hootsuite newsroom that we surpassed 15 million users in October 2016, and that the platform is used in more than 175 countries—both original statistics straight from the source. Likewise, Twitter's About page has loads of great stats, including that there are 1 billion unique visits monthly to sites with embedded Tweets.
Pages that promote the company's advertising options can also be a good source of data, since user numbers are of particular interest to potential advertisers. For example, Facebook's Ads page reveals that more than 900 million people use Facebook every day.
Government statistics agencies and census results provide lots of useful and reliable information about a wide range of topics. For example, the U.S. Census Bureau has a population clock showing up-to-the-minute figures for the U.S. and world population.
Research companies that produce regular reports are also a great source of data—keep an eye on the sources that are regularly cited in your industry to get a sense of the major players. Those relevant to you will vary, but Forrester, comScore, and the Pew Research Center are great places to start.
Research statistics appropriately
Working with statistics is challenging even for professional journalists, so it's definitely an area to watch out for when you're researching. Percentages can be particularly tricky. For example, the percentage of women who use Facebook (77 percent) is a very different statistic from the percentage of Facebook users who are women (54 percent).
But these statistics often get mixed up. For instance, you can learn from our post on Facebook demographics that 82 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds online use Facebook, a statistic we gathered from a Pew Research Center report. It's a common mistake to flip statistics like this around, saying instead that 82 percent of Facebook users are aged 18 to 29.
In fact, several articles online do say this, linking back to the same Pew Research Report we cited. Some even add that 48 percent of Facebook users are over 65, another backwards statistic (the correct information is that 48 percent of people who are aged 65+ use Facebook). Think about that for a moment: 82 percent plus 48 percent = 130 percent. Since "percent" means "out of 100," well, you see the problem.
If this all sounds a bit confusing, that's because it is. That's exactly why you need to make sure you truly understand what a statistic means before using it to back up a point or incorporating it into your content. This guide from the Centre for Investigative Journalism provides some good tips for working with statistics:
Incorporating all of these techniques will help you use the Web for effective research to build your credibility and support your content marketing strategy, making your site a credible source of quality information for your followers and potential leads.

An entangled mess of vortical and corkscrewing motions, the structure of the middle-eastern political formations is a cyclone armed with a drilling and extracting instrumentality; it is a cyclone and an oil drill used for extracting unheard-of political and power formations.
It is through survival (the incapacity of the solid to reject the void) that solid participates in ungrounding itself /…/
The solid surrenders itself to the plague from the very moment that it begins to cure itself. For solidity, the 'Will to Cure' is the 'Will to Mess'. /…/ Every action of solidity in the direction of becoming more solid is equal to augmenting its interactions with the void. /…/
Although the void devours the solid, the solid feasts on the void, i.e. its outsider. In compositions, the solid becomes hysterically gluttonous for the void. /…/
Holey space is nothing but a composition (of solid and void) /…/ In any composition, the solid narrates the anomalies generated by the void, /…/ Once we realize that /…/ the solid is the possessed narrator of the void, it will be but a short analytical step to see that the solid works as two differet entities overlapping with each other and functioning concurrently.
It is Lovecraftian worm-ridden space that makes solidity the altruistic host of emergence.
Nemat-space is an ultimate crawling machine: it is essentially cryptogenic and interconnectig with anonymous-until-Now.

The polytics of the ()holey complex defies existing models of the harvesting of power correlated to the logic of the ground and the politics of whole. For the world order, inconsistent events around the world are failures or setbacks for the dominant political models. According to the politics of the poromechanical earth, however, inconsistences and regional disparities across the globe constitute the body of polytics.
In terms of emergence, consistency or connectivity should not be measured by the ground or the body of solid as a whole but according to a degenerate model of wholeness and a poromechanics of the event.
The myths of obtuse flatness (i.e. superficiality) or totalitarianism attributed to Freudian psychoanalysis by postmodernist rivals are in most cases the symptoms of misunderstanding the problem of surface and emergence.
And in ()hole complex, depth exists as the ambiguity or the gradient between inner and outer, vigor and silence, inclusion and exclusion.
According to the archeological law of contemporary military doctrines and Freudian psychoanalysis, for every inconsistency or anomaly on the ground, there is a buried schizoid consistency: to reach the schizoid consistency, a paraoid consistency or a plane of paranoia must first be traversed.
The distribution of porosity through the Earth does not follow a rhizomatic structure but goes by way of random clusters with variable densities, similar to the dispersion of suspended dust and moisture in fog.
The problem of oil fields and the ()hole complex between the State and desert-nomads is indeed far more sophisticated than that of mines and their ambulant dwellers (miners).
Hidden Writing can be described as utilizing every plot hole, all problematics, every suspicious obscurity or repulsive wrongness as a new plot with a tentacled and autonomous mobility. /…/ The central or main plot is reinvented solely in order that it may stealthily host, transport and nurture other plots. /…/ Every hole is a footprint left by at least one more plot prowling underneath.
If memory holes cause such accessibility problems for the subject, it is because they have been specifically designed for being accessed from the other side. /…/

Jihad's defense and Crusade's offensive invasions become as synergetic as they are assymetrical. As the western machines are depleted of oil in this heated participation, they wush for thicker layers of the blob which trasort more enthusiastic Islamic war machines with weirder sentience.
When it comes to seeing through the pipeline, machines of enlightenment are particulary petro-mongoloid.
In short, oil trade in the Islamic network of petropolitics is primarily used to recharge and benefit neither the wealth of countries nor the production spheres, but the pipeline itself.

Feliway Classic Diffuser helps to reduce stress in cats. Many things can be stressful for your cat including sharing its home with other cats, moving home, introducing a new pet, redecorating and new furniture; this can sometimes make them behave strangely.
Feliway is a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromone. When a cat feels safe and secure in its environment it will rub its head on objects in the home such as furniture, corners of walls etc – this leaves behind facial pheromones. These pheromones are the way cats mark their home territory, meaning when they return to this environment they know it is a safe area. The absence of these familiar marks is believed to lead to an increase in anxiety.
This product contains:
Ceva laboratories have managed to mimic this natural marking and put it into Feliway. The Feliway diffuser is ideal for multi-cat households, moving home, introducing new pet, redecorating, new furniture, settling into a new home, for firework nights, or to add as further support to the Feliway spray in scratching and urine spray marking.
The Feliway diffuser can be placed in the room where stressed behaviour has taken place, to give off a feline facial pheromone that will put the cat at ease. Please note that is only compatible with the UK power supply. For use in other countries you may require an adaptor. Reactions to stress, such as, urine marking, vertical scratching, loss of appetite, reduced desire to play and interact, may be expressed by cats in certain situations.

Please cover Janelle Keller in prayer for her upcoming itinerary. She left early in the morning on July 27, to go to Chicago for our FFHM board meeting.
I wanted to give you a rundown of my schedule so that you know where I am but also so you know how to be praying:
On Friday, I'm meeting with Peter, Rod and Matt to work on some goal setting and planning for the coming years of the ministry.
Saturday is our board meeting all day. Grant us wisdom and direction for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
On Sunday, I will visit Messiah Lutheran Church in the Chicago suburbs. They have supported us for years. I will be doing the sermon at three services that morning.
Next Saturday, August 5, I'm flying out early morning to go to Mjorud Family Bible Camp in Montana. I will be speaking three times during the camp – once with teens, once as an hour long intro to the ministry and once as a mission spotlight in an evening service.
After camp I'm going to be with the Malcolm family in Lolo. They are hosting an evening in their home on Saturday with people who are interested in the ministry.
On Sunday I'm speaking in the adult Sunday School class about the ministry, and I'm doing a 10 minute intro to the ministry in their two services. And then that afternoon I'm flying back and will get in to LA around midnight.
Jan Holter was living with Dave and Audrey Taylor in Costa Mesa, CA at the inception of His Ministry. She later married Carl and extended the first invitation to Chuck and me to minister in her home church, Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Morris, IL. Later she scheduled our itinerary in Illinois and Wisconsin. Jan is facing a critical situation. She is to undergo surgery in the immediate future for a tumor in her kidney. She needs a miracle. Carl Holter serves on our U.S. board.
Carrie Irving, FFHM board member, was in a very serious car accident. Only the grace of God could have spared her life. The vehicle was totaled. While being examined they discovered swelling on her brain. They're believing God for a miracle! The Irvings are in the process of moving to Idaho.
There was a wonderful outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the kid's camp hosted by the Mission Church. Thank you for praying. Without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit this would just be another camp. More to follow in September's newsletter.
Larry and Olive Kieler have made countless trips to the Mission. They recruited young people from all over Canada to join them on an adventure that would change their lives forever. Larry has been suffering with major heart problems for a number of years. He will undergo surgery this week. Please pray for a total recovery.
Recently I, Charla, had a minor stroke. I am back in the office and under excellent medical care. Thank you for all those that pray.
Please continue to pray for the Bible Institute's outreach in the remote regions of Oaxaca.
Although we don't have a picture to accompany this prayer request, please pray for Theresa Vanderkooi,, who has cancer throughout her body. Theresa is Pete Van Dyken's sister. The Van Dykens have prepared our Thanksgiving dinner for many years.


text: The bigger picture Meet the entrepreneur who built a company that the world's technology giants now rely on. "I've always been entrepreneurial," says Adrian Turner. "I think that began when I was busking outside Myer's department store in Sydney when I was nine or 10, playing Christmas carols on my violin. That was when I first realised that you could do very well if you were a little creative in your thinking." Creative thinking has taken Turner a long way in his 43 years. One of Silicon Valley's brightest minds, he co-founded Mocana, which provides security systems and applications for connected devices. The former pupil of St Ives Public School on Sydney's north shore is also the author of the 2012 book, Blue Sky Mining. From 2006-11, Turner was Chairman of Advance, a not-for-profit network which connects 20,000 expatriate Australians. He resigned from that position because he didn't want Advance to be tarred with the personal views he expressed in Blue Sky Mining. "During my time as Chairman of Advance I saw a lot of entrepreneurs leave Australia because they couldn't raise the capital here to build their business," he says. "There's something structurally wrong when that has to happen." Blue Sky Mining contrasts Silicon Valley's ability to create a plethora of new billion dollar industries with Australia's inability to leverage innovative ideas, which has lead to some of the country's brightest talent heading overseas because they can't find backers here. "I copped a lot of heat in the period just after the book came out," Turner admits. "People were saying, 'This mining boom is going to last 20 years. You're out of your mind saying we need to worry about building new entrepreneurial businesses now'". "That's changed now, with many people picking up the phone in recent months to say, 'I'm ready for that conversation about creating the conditions for entrepreneur success in Australia.'" UTS is the one Adrian's older brother Nick (a celebrated architect) had already studied at UTS, but the younger Turner says his choice of university in 1992 went much deeper than following family footsteps. "The thing I've always struggled with is that I have a logical part of my brain − I had an affinity for mathematics at school. But I'm also a frustrated artist. I paint, I sculpt, and I used to play drums in a jazz band" "UTS was perfect for me. At the time it was the only university I could find that allowed me to combine marketing with business. I actually did a business degree with double majors in marketing and finance. UTS is still the pioneer when it comes to combining creativity with business." "UTS also had a reputation for being a practical university. I did a part-time degree because I couldn't wait to start work. I had a fire in my belly to get things done and I felt that studying full-time would be putting that on hold." While studying at night, weekends and holidays, Turner held down a full-time job firstly with News Ltd, and then with eye care chain OPSM where he learned about interactive TV. From there, he transitioned to IT by working at Ozemail as a Marketing Consultant, where he helped launch the world's first network of coin-operated internet terminals. Silicon Valley After graduating in May 1997, Turner married in October, and then decided to move to the US. "Going to the States was roll of the dice," says Turner. "Everyone was saying that if I wanted to work in tech, I had to head west. So we landed in the heart of Silicon Valley. Remember this was in 1998, when the internet was getting started." "There was this amazing anything-can-be-achieved mentality," Turner recalls. "Australia seemed hierarchical by comparison. Here, it was who you knew and where you went to school. In Silicon Valley, it's a complete meritocracy. It doesn't matter where you've come from or how old you are − if you're good, you'll succeed." Turner was just six months into his employment at Dutch-based electronics giant Philips when he came up with an entrepreneurial scheme to develop. "I convinced my line management to let me pitch my idea to some directors of the company which employed 240,000 people. My idea was to build the infrastructure to support connected devices. Anything other than people connecting to the internet was not being discussed in the mainstream at that time. There were even questions about whether the internet would take off." "I told them, 'the internet is going to move beyond the web as we know it. Things are going to be connected to the web − things like the internet kiosks or business electronics. If I'm right, we will have to build infrastructure to support our connected devices, even deliver services online'." The directors gave him the go-ahead, and teams in Silicon Valley, Washington DC and the UK were engaged to deliver his idea. "I was 27. We built the infrastructure I'd recommended, but it became clear it shouldn't just be supporting Philips devices, but the entire industry. I tried to spin the idea out to Philips, but they wouldn't let it go outside the company. So I left. That was the moment when I switched from being an employee to an entrepreneur." And he never looked back. In 2004, he and a colleague, James Blaisdell, launched Mocana. "We could see all these devices were going to connect to the internet and we realised the place to start was security. "We self-funded the business for the first two and a half years, got revenue up to around $US 1 million from around 30 customers, then got venture capital to fund the business." "Fast forward and we're one of the leaders in the world. Our customers include Cisco, Sony, Honeywell, Dell, General Electric and five of the top seven Android OEMs (original equipment manufacturers)." Venture capital Mocana has raised $US 65 million to date and Turner was invited to speak at the World Economic Forum 2013 in Davos, Switzerland detailing what a fully networked society means for every business. Mocana was one of 11 companies named a World Economic Forum 2012 Technology Pioneer, selected from more than 800 global nominations. Turner resigned as Mocana's Chief Executive late last year, though he is still on the board. "It's a different sort of growth now," Turner explains, "I enjoy the creative side of figuring out what the business will be. The more process-orientated part of running a business, I find less enjoyable." In 2014, Turner launched a second business, Borondi Group, with a fellow Sydney-sider he'd met through Advance, Chris Aitken. Turner describes it as "a company that is building a portfolio of global operating assets at the intersection of pervasive computing and traditionally conservative industries like agriculture, mining, water management, transportation and healthcare." He predicts the next 15 years will all be about what people are calling "persuasive computing". That means computers intersecting with the industries that have historically been Australia's strength industries. "The first investment we have made is in solar-powered atmospheric satellites (or ATMOSAT™) pioneered by Titan Aerospace. They are redefining the economics to launch low orbit satellites with a range of possible geospatial and data applications." The focus on pervasive computing intersecting with Australia's strength industries means Turner will be back in Sydney a lot more over the next few years. He plans to bring his daughter back to Sydney − if only to work on her accent. "I was just listening to her in the hotel and she definitely sounds American," he laughs. "I keep reminding her she is one half Australian." Story by Steve MeachamPhoto by Anna Zhu Back to top

All Day
Race Website: St. Mary's Triathlon Festival
The Race Director has shared with Team Z that this is a great race for first-timers!
See for yourself! Get a feel of the race from the organizer's youtube video of last year's first annual event.
From the website, the St. Mary's Triathlon is located in historic St. Mary's City in Southern Maryland. Nestled between the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River just a few miles from Point Lookout State Park this race is a hidden gem. The college and race site are on a bluff overlooking a cove on the St. Mary's River and are just minutes from great lodging and restaurant options in Lexington Park and Solomon's Island. Historic St. Mary's City was the first colonial settlement in Maryland and St. Mary's College was founded in 1840. You will love the beautiful swim venue, smooth low traffic roads for the bike course and partially shaded low traffic run course. Don't miss out on this special event!
Course Details
Swim: The swim course is a 1500 meter rectangular course in a sheltered cove on the St. Mary's River. The swim start and finish utilizes the St. Mary's College Waterfront area. So, you'll be starting off their docks next to their fleet of sunfish and other watercraft. The water temperature is expected to be in the low 70's and we will post a preliminary water temperature the Thursday evening prior to the event. An official reading will be taken by our USAT officials race morning.
Bike: The bike course is very fast and mostly flat with the exception of a small hill done in the first mile going past the swim venue. The course is two loops for the International and one loop for the Sprint. The clockwise course consists of 4 right hand turns per lap with large shoulders on 80% of the course. The scenery is amazing with views of the St. Mary's River, St. Mary's College, and the agricultural vistas that make this part of Maryland so scenic.
Run: The International run course is an out and back with a loop at the turn around that is done twice to get the proper distance. The course will have full sun for the first and last mile while the remainder is heavily shaded. There will be an aid station at the start of the run and approximately every mile thereafter. Aid stations for the International will have Gatorade, water and ice. The Sprint run course goes 1.55 miles out, turns around and comes on back.
AQUA BIKE Category is available for Men & Women! To register for the Aqua Bike category you will find it as a sub-category of the Triathlon!

I don't even want to hazard a guess as to what type of numbers we will see tomorrow but regardless of how many do show up, I think it is a pretty safe bet they can be broken down into the following groups:
The largest contingent of the 'protesters' will be your hard core Harper haters made up of mostly lefties who despise the PM and would complain that he is taking away jobs from doctors if he discovered the cure for cancer. This group is always a guarantee to show up at anything anti-conservative.
The next largest group would be the partisans aligned with specific political parties.
Many Greens can be expected to show up and in some cases they have even gone so far as to take part in the organization of this so called "NON PARTISAN" event.
The NDP will be out in force, which is to be expected, but at least Jack Layton has a plan; as unconstitutional as it may be. (Note to Iggy: Your coalition buddy is setting you up with his motion.) This group may be large as unions have money to organize and bus in the "grassroots".
The Liberals: Yes it is expected that many Liberals will be out for partisan gain trying to pull the wool over the eyes of Canadians by looking like they are against prorogation even though LPC policy says otherwise and their leader, Micheal Ignatieff, has stated he is in favour of keeping it.
Ignatieff it turns out was very much in favour of the PM proroguing the first time he did it back in 2008. For the MSM who just read that and have their doubts, please feel free to stick a microphone Ignatieff's way and ask him yourself. It would be hard for him to say that he was not in favour of it in 2008 when he has described the coalition as something so divisive that it would have caused a "permanent division" to Canadian society. You want something to cover MSM; just ask Iggy that question and watch him squirm.
All of the above combined will make up the bulk of the numbers that we see tomorrow; my guess is that they will make up about 90% of those in attendance, but one must also remember that most of these people would never vote conservative in the first place.
Of the remaining numbers, the one group that we should be concerned about is the small number that will attend, who are not there with a particular partisan axe to grind, that are honestly upset over the PM proroguing. This group can be divided into 2 sub groups with the first being the ones that are just sick of seeing politicians not working for any reason, and the other being the ones who have been convinced by the media that this prorogation is not a routine event and that it is an affront to democracy. There is no convincing the first bunch, they think all politicians are lazy, but I do believe that if the others learn the facts about prorogation being a much used, legal, and indeed a constitutional power I think the damage will be minimal. Do they really want to open up the constitution to take away this power? I doubt it very much that many do.
As for the small amount of those in attendance tomorrow who did not make it into the above groupings; their numbers will be made up mostly of media people and a handful of guys there just because they want to score with some dipper chick that was already planing to attend. The first group is potentially dangerous, while the second may very well turn out to be Conservative voters sometime in the future.
There you have it. Some honest analysis of the numbers that I doubt you will see anywhere in the MSM. Not because they are unable to do so, but rather because it is dangerous for the media to analyze the news that they themselves have shaped and intensely promoted for weeks now. The old adage applies: Don't become the story.
Oh and I have to add a quick thought on the detainee red herring we keep hearing about. In the end, the already 3 years old detainee story is going to turn out the same way the other so called "game changers" such as Chuck Cadman, in and out financing, H1N1, wafergate, and a host of others have turned out to be. Nothing more than Liberal games and smear.
For fun: A couple of bonus questions to ask the anti-prorogation types.
Asking any Liberal why they are there if their party and Iggy supports prorogation is an obvious one but if you want some real fun try asking the following.
Last year during the coalition crisis did you claim legitimacy for the coalition because of the constitution? If so, why are you now against that same constitution and the legitimacy of prorogation? Is there anything else you want to change in our constitution while we are opening it up?
And lastly please have a safe Prorogation Day in Canada and enjoy the wall to wall MSM coverage.
From The Ottawa Citizen and Susan Riley of all people :
He (Ignatieff) encouraged anti-prorogation organizers in a Facebook posting this week, and confirmed he will be attending Saturday's protest in Ottawa, but refuses to back Jack Layton's call for legislation limiting future use of prorogation. When asked to define his political values, he paused then replied: "I'm passionate about freedom." So was George W. Bush.
On the pressing issue of looming deficits, he told reporters it isn't his problem, it's Harper's problem -- and he, Ignatieff, isn't about to help his rival out of the swamp. (Never mind what happens to the rest of us, I guess.)
He continues to answer questions with questions, urge patience and promise a bold new vision any time now. He sounds like Karlheinz Schreiber: wait until next week, then the true story will emerge.
Iggy being compared to KHS. Classic!

I am trying to hold down my glee. We are all confused and hoping we are worthy!! A huge amount of work has been done by our volunteers and the hero's from Pencilneck Software. I am sure we will be finding some glitches to sort through in the next while but doesn't it look great???
Our first announcement is that we are having an adoption event at both our Petsmart sites on Sat and Sun from 11:30 to 4:00. The stores are in North Vancouver and on Grandview in Vancouver.

The dreaded college essay is most troublesome when it comes to truly coming up with a topic to write about. Depending on your experience, course choice, and academic final results, graduates can apply for national designation as a Certified International Trade Expert (CITP) by means of the Forum for International Trade Coaching (FITT). Our International Business Programs have been authorized as getting equivalent to the FITTskills plan.
Very motivative, really useful in arranging far better for future secured jobs inline to the requirement and accent. This truth was shown by the aggregates presented on and These are leaders in aggregating Web-posted jobs from all sources (see links beneath). Some US key metropolitan locations have higher college drop out rates in excess of 50%. A larger amount of funding appears to be going to educational R&D, with resulting new jobs and goods. The increasing the content material of person jobs is proposed to boost worker satisfaction and the meaningfulness of work. MsFran – I had not realized that international people were coming to work in healthcare.
Registered Nurses (RNs), Nurse Practitioners, and Doctor (or Physician's) Assistants and Medical Assistants as effectively as Small Clinics in drug and grocery retailers, are on the rise as a matter of price containment and cost reduction, pulling business away from private practice MDs, DOs, and Emergency Rooms.
As a current college graduate this hub was very intriguing to me. I discover myself struggling to make ends meet and discover a job I really take pleasure in. Russian was a large language to know in the 1960s-1980s, and then fell out of celebrity – Far more dealing with the Russian government and business sectors is anticipated 2010 – 2020. Superb hub….I got only 1 more year of college left to finish and that's a wrap.
The largest proportion of these PT jobs considering that at least 2008 are opening up all through the State of Texas. By the hygiene factors Herzberg meant company policy and administration, salary and fringe positive aspects, high quality and supervision, relationship with colleagues, job safety, status and work conditions. If I had been a college student right now there would be 3 regions of study I would head into. I am banking on IT laptop science major right here, but I agree healthcare is a good field but is obtaining to political for me. It would be fascinating to see the best ten jobs for overseas people functioning in America.
Wow, well fortunately for me (?), images of my mug almost certainly would not lend the right air of legitimacy for said international guests! Very infromative thanks for the infro…..given that i am heading back to college, i know i have selected the correct major.

Anna, le Sherpa famouse (celebre), ponders the wonders of life and the goodness of moules.
Those who know me, and those who dine with me, know that I enjoy French brasserie food tremendously. My need for Les Halles in Washington DC is epic. I can't get enough. No matter where I am.
Luckily, my sister-in-law Polly understands this and after casually mentioning that I had a hankering for some French, she steered us towards Venice Beach to Lilly's French Cafe.
Actually, when we were on the way there, I didn't know we were going to a French place. Hell, I wasn't paying attention to the sign when we walked in, and didn't realize our good fortune until I spied the onglet on the menu. Merci Jesus Cristo.
With Dennis in tow and Anna, that famous Sherpa with her brand new BMW hotness, we sat down for another multi-course meal exploring all of Lilly's French goodness. It's now getting to the point where one dish and one flavor just won't do. We must have all dishes and tastes of all dishes, and that's how it went down.
Starting with a round of onion soup, then the big guns came out: ahi tuna salad, moules mariniere, poulet roti, onglet l'echallote and frites, frites and more frites. We had so much fuckin' frites - it was potato hurricane.
Ahi, onglet, moules, poulet and frites, frites, frites!
The onion soup was pretty good. Nicely done and a good flavor. When it comes to ahi tuna, as long as it's fresh and raw (at least in the middle), I'm happy. Truth is, I'll eat fresh, raw tuna all day, every day until Judgement Day if I could afford it.
The moules were tasty and cooked just right. Everyone tore into those with reckless abandon. So much so that you'd have thought we hadn't been eating non-stop all week. Scary. The onglet was it's usual kidney-icious goodness. Grilled just right and covered in shallots. The low point was the poulet. The exterior looked delicious but once you got into it, you realized it just looked good but were dry and killed inside. Such a shame.

What is radio? Answer still complicated
I recently declined, with regrets, an invitation to attend a conference and speak on the topic "What Is Radio?"
I didn't believe the organizers at the University of Oregon would appreciate my showing up in Portland only to say, "Beats me." Or to offer a regurgitation of my scribblings in this space over the past 25 years.
Radio Waves regulars know that I love radio - that's why I write the column - and that, as in love, it doesn't always go well.
But let's say the organizers make it easy for me. I can do it without going to Portland? I can answer in the form of a column item? And they'd be happy with only a few minutes? Say, 500 words? Well, then!
Thank you for that lovely introduction. Good afternoon. Sorry I couldn't be with you in person, but I hate rain.
So the question is "What is radio?" Beats me.
I kid. Radio is ... history. And, yes, however you heard that, that's what I meant. Radio is a historic medium that will always be with us. There's nothing quite as intimate and immediate as radio; there's nowhere else you'd go in the event of a local emergency. I'd take a news station over an online site or Twitter any day.
But, also, radio, as we've known it, is history. When that emergency happens, or any major news breaks, if you're on one of the increasingly many stations that feature recorded DJs, you'll miss the news - because the jocks can't possibly know it. Fortunately, news stations haven't resorted to voice tracking.
Radio is ... business. This is something I remind countless readers kvetching about radio. Terrestrial radio has always been a business, always sought the highest ratings at the lowest cost, always described itself, without apology, as commercial radio. But where once there could be mom-and-pop operations, minority-owned stations and independent-minded broadcasters (think James Gabbert) with goals extending beyond making money, now revenue is the only motivation.
Radio is ... alive. This despite the fact that experimental broadcasting - or the most traditional, in the best sense of that word - is found mainly on the fringes, on public, noncommercial and college stations. Although disgruntled listeners are tuning out or turning to online and satellite alternatives, not everybody can.
There are many who can't afford computers, the Internet and the gadgets that are capable of receiving online radio and music streams. IPods and digital players may seem ubiquitous, but, as one programmer told me, not everyone wants to spend time making up playlists or the money to get those CDs or tracks.
There are many who actually don't mind those eight-minute clusters of mattress and donate-your-car commercials - or have learned to tune them out. And there are many who still love radio for its strengths - it's free (if not commercial-free), it's local and immediate (when it's not voice-tracked by a DJ in another city), and, no matter Twitter and news sites, it's hard to beat right after one of those earthshaking, "What just happened?" moments.
So that's what radio is. At times annoying and self-destructive; other times, entertaining, enlightening and vital.
It is also a part of my history, something I studied at San Francisco State, covered at Rolling Stone and elsewhere (like, right here), and enjoyed doing, on KFOG, KSAN, KQED, KFRC and even a pirate station (that's how much I love that big lug). It's something I get to rant and rave about in print.
But I'd much rather do it ... on the radio.
Thank you, Detroit!
Flying low: A little while back, a Datebook reader asked the whereabouts of KSAN alumni Richard Gossett and Dusty Street. I've mentioned before that Street is still on the air, weekends on Sirius/XM (the Classic Vinyl channel), broadcasting out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's studios in Cleveland. She also hosts a free-form podcast, "The Fly Low Show," on the Flying Eye Radio Network.
Gossett, who went from KSAN to KSFX, KQAK, KFOG, KVRE and KCRB, left the airwaves in 2008. From 1981 to 2001, he was a brewer of beers at Anchor Steam, where he still does some part-time work. "We were all so fortunate to be at KSAN at that particular time," he says. "It's impossible to re-create all the circumstances that allowed the 'Jive 95' to be the soundtrack for an era." Which is why, he says, he turned from radio to beer. "I feel so lucky to have worked in two legendary San Francisco businesses."
I get a lot of mail asking why this or that happened at this or that station. Often I have answers. But because Radio Waves runs only every other Sunday, here's some advice: Google. Radio news, like all news and gossip, is online almost instantly. If it's negative news, the stations' sites will say nothing, but Radio-Info, Radio Ink, All Access and Rich Lieberman's 415 Media will tell you what they know - even if it's often PR puff and/or conjecture.
And, no surprise, I get the occasional odd missive. Stephanie wrote, "Hi, Ben: Can you tell me what it was like to be a journalist during such (a) controversial time in history - the Age of Aquarius?"
Hi, Stephanie: No.
Actually, I can - and did - in my memoirs, "The Rice Room," and in two collections of pieces from Rolling Stone and other publications. I do recall, however, that we let the sunshine in.
Off the wall: Bill Weber, the muralist responsible for the famed "jazz mural" in North Beach, picturing Benny Goodman, Teddy Wilson, Emperor Norton, Herb Caen and several former mayors, has a new one up, in the Haight. It's an homage to the Summer of Love, with two massive paintings meeting at the corner of Haight and Clayton, above Burger Urge. Weber, along with Arianna, his wife and sous painter, has come up with a mix of musicians and scenesters, including Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary and ... me. I am next to Baez, smiling goofily (She's singing; I'm smiling). Why me, and not someone more worthy, like Tom Donahue, Grace Slick, Bill Graham, Chet Helms, Dr. David Smith or Peter Coyote? Weber, whose impressive work can be seen on his site, Bill Weber - Muralist, says he included me at the suggestion of a friend, Rita Chan Guzman, who knew me back then, when many of us were inclined to smiling goofily.
P.S.: This column is dedicated to my younger brother Burton, who died Nov. 11 in Oakland at age 63 after long battles with various ailments. He was a good and gentle guy who deserved better than he ever got. {sbox}

Dan's Frogger Boot with Dan's Chaps
Dan's Hunting Gear is excited to introduce their new Frogger Boot. Designed for the dedicated hunter who is looking for comfort and durability. Chemically resistant rubber for added protection and easy cleaning. Extra thick 2 mil. overlay, with additional rubber underlays in high puncture areas. The Gel-Comfort insole makes this boot remarkably comfortable. The Xtreme Traction tread is very aggressive in mud, rocks, and snow. This 16" boot is 100% waterproof. Steel shank in outsole. Comfort range -20 to 70 degrees F.
5.6 lbs
Gel-comfort inside
Xtreme traction tread
Orange lining
Chap options: Dan's froglegs (chaps) are constructed using an outer layer of stout material that is lined with very water repellent nylon to help stop any moisture that gets through the outer layer, plus they easily turn briars. The nylon goes all the way down to the lower ankle of the boot, providing the boots and your legs with protection from sharp sticks and briars. They are carefully made, then sewn and sealed to the boot of your choice. Froglegs have adjustable straps that fasten to your belt with a 3/4" plastic buckle. Snaps are provided at the top of the chap and boot so they can be worn while folded down.
Heavyweight (Brush Buster) Chap: A tough, and long lasting chap made of 1000 denier Magnatuff fabric. Twice as thick as the lightweight chap and not as flexible. 100% waterproof
Five Star Chap: Dan's best selling chap is made of the same nylon fabric as Dan's Rugged Wear clothing and the former Wick Outdoor Works. Lightweight, flexible, and just as tough as the heavyweight chap. 100% waterproof
Snake Protector Chap: Heavyweight, three-ply chap that provides reliable protection from snakes. 100% waterproof
Chap Sizing- if you have any questions about sizing, please give us a call.
Thigh Measurement
Measure around the largest part of your leg (where the top of the chap will be). Take this measurement over the pants you normally wear hunting. Please do not add or subtract from the measurement you get. Do not pull the tape tight or leave it loose. We will add two inches to the measurement to allow for proper fit. Select your measurement from the drop down box below.
Inseam Measurement
Just supply the inseam of the pants you normally wear in the drop box below. We will subtract 3 inches from this measurement to ensure a proper length.

Creampie-Angels – Emily Bender, Sheylley Bliss Dude explores two hotties (07.06.2018)
Dude does his best to focus on his classes but how can he think about assignments when two hot smoking and red-haired babes tease him with naughty ideas, as well as with their curves. Finally, he gives up and joins two fantastic cuties in one bed. Dude turns out to be talented enough to satisfy two sex-hungry babes at the same time with his hard dick, strong hands, hot tongue and curious lips.


text: Folks, if you haven't heard already, the first Friday in June is known as National Doughnut Day (I have no idea why). But it's good for us. Today stop by any participating Krispy Kreme for a free doughnut, no purchase necessary. Ooooh they are smart, they know damn well you can't just have ONE Krispy Kreme doughnut. Well done Krispy Kreme! Oh yeh, Dunkin' Donuts is participating too, but you have to buy a beverage (I suggest their yummy hot chocolate) to get the free doughnut. Krispy Kreme wins this battle though, better doughnuts plus FREE. I repeat FREE. Potheads, get your friends to drive you, I want the roads to be safe. Enjoy!

Later that night, as the bra was getting fixed to my running top, I came to the idea that running in a T-shirt was not acceptable. I had no choice but to run in just a bra if I wanted to get the message across with maximum impact.
The London Marathon is on everyone's bucket list, but like most things on this list we keep putting them off until it is too late. But after hearing my mother's account of last year's marathon, which she walked for Walk the Walk, I could not wait for my turn.
With my place confirmed, apprehension kicked in and it dawned on me the reality of what I had signed up for. It was not the actual marathon that concerned me, it was the hours of training including 5:30AM runs before work and 2+ hour runs most weekends. Looking back on it now, I do not regret any of this. The pain is a distant memory overshadowed by the awesomeness of the accomplishment.
As a young man (I was 22 when I ran the marathon), the prospect of running the streets of London in a pink bra was not one that sat too well with me! The initial plan was to pin the bra to my running shirt so that I could still run unhindered and display Walk the Walk's logo. As I was not going to wear just the bra for the event I thought it would be good to get some publicity shots of me wearing the bra the night before. Before I knew it I was standing in Trafalgar Square topless, with my bra on, getting some very strange looks from the passing tourists (and from the community officer who was none too impressed!).
Later that night, as the bra was getting fixed to my running top, I came to the idea that running in a T-shirt was not acceptable. I had no choice but to run in just a bra if I wanted to get the message across with maximum impact.
As a man who does not often wear a bra, chaffing was of big concern. So as I was getting put into my outfit on the morning of the marathon, my support team were going around sticking on strategic tape, needless to say most of this had fallen off before the marathon had begun!
On to the marathon itself. It was such a hot day, and due to not wearing much on my top half, the sun burn was kicking in before crossing the start line. The London Marathon is known for crazy charity runners wearing outrageous costumes therefore as a 6'5" man wearing a bra I thought I would just blend into normality. This proved not to be the case! I can't count the number of 'selfies' that other runners asked me for before the race. This seemed strange to me that I was getting singled out for attention; it is not something that I am used too. This however set the tone for what would soon prove to be one of the most surreal experiences of my life to date.
As I crossed the start line the yells and screams from the crowd began. This was to be expected, but I was not expecting them all to be screaming my name! I could hear the shouts of 'Come on Joey' and 'nice pair'. I even had a few men ask for my number not to mention the wolf whistles. This continued for mile after mile; I felt like I as the only one running. Miles 1-10 flew by! Then the pain hits in! All the support had got me carried away and I had gone off too quickly and also the heat of the day was starting to take its toll. By the time I got to Tower Bridge cramp had set in. I had not once had cramp in training but there I was, not even at the half way point and I could barely run. I had so far to go and it all got a bit overwhelming. However, the crowd really were fantastic and the pain I was feeling was drowned out by the thousands of supporters, they really did carry me around.
Miles 12-16 were by far and away the hardest. The finish line is not in sight, the pain is really kicking in, the crowds are dying down as at this point you are running away from the finish, and to make it worse you can see people at about mile 22 running the other way – demoralising does not do it justice!! At this point all you can do is grit your teeth and march on with the hope and expectation that it will get better.
And better it got, miles 17-24 were fantastic. This was by far the highlight of the event for me – the crowds were at their biggest, the atmosphere was incredible and all the runners seemed to be unified by the experiences we had faced in the previous 3-4 hours. I can remember that the support that I was receiving was no longer solely coming from the crowd, I was also experiencing other runners cheering my name and taking photos of me! I kept thinking to myself this is ridiculous, we are all in the same boat and yet I was getting singled out. That is the impact a bra has!
The finish I found to be a bit underwhelming, it was hard to focus on anything but the pain.
After the event success and failure should not be judged on the time of completion or anything like that, it should be judged based on two outcomes. Firstly did you get around and secondly and most importantly did you get your message across? For me I can definitely say that my message of 'men can get breast cancer too' definitely got noticed, and if one person benefits from my exertions then it was all worthwhile! And of course thirdly did we raise lots of money. To date I have raised nearly £2500 and rising.
Here's just a few ways of supporting us!

Grand Festival
The Grand Festival (Japanese: グランドフェスティバル Grand Festival) is the anime-exclusive final challenge for all Pokémon Coordinators. The tournament is held once a year in several regions and is the Pokémon Contests' analog to the Pokémon League Conference.
The general structure of each Grand Festival is similar: Pokémon Coordinators must win at least five Contest Ribbons of a specific region in order to be able to participate in that region's Grand Festival. The winner receives the Ribbon Cup, as well as the title of Top Coordinator.
Due to the large number of participants, Grand Festivals have more judges in attendance.
The Hoenn, Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh regions are all confirmed to have Grand Festivals. Grand Festivals appear to be held at different locations every year.
The tournament is divided into two parts: the appeals portion and the battle portion.
Appeals portion
In the appeals portion, Coordinators show off their Pokémon's moves in order to impress the judges and the audience. The appeals are awarded points by the competition jury, and the Coordinators with the highest scores proceed to the next round.
In the appeals stage of Kanto and Hoenn Grand Festivals, there are two rounds to appeal. In the first, the preliminary round, Coordinators have one of their Pokémon performing with no more than one move used one time. The top 64 Coordinators move onto the second appeals round, where Coordinators have one of their Pokémon using as many moves as necessary. Contrasting this, the Sinnoh Grand Festival only has one appeals round instead of two, with two Pokémon, as the competition is held under the Double Performance rule, which means that Coordinators must use two Pokémon in all rounds.
In the Hoenn and Sinnoh Grand Festivals, the best 32 Coordinators proceed to the battle portion, while in Kanto, only the top 16 move on.
Battle portion
In the battle portion, Coordinators shows how skilled they and their Pokémon are when put into battle. All battles follow the Double Battle style. Competing Coordinators are matched-up randomly by computer up to the semifinals, which is the last round that computer will choose a random match-up. Whoever loses is out of the tournament. The Coordinator who wins the fifth and final round of this portion is then declared the winner of the entire competition.

Top Coordinator
A Top Coordinator (Japanese: トップコーディネーター Top Coordinator) is the highest known level of rank for a Pokémon Coordinator. The title is bestowed upon Coordinators who have won a Grand Festival. The following is a list of individuals who are Top Coordinators:
- Apparently, a Coordinator may enter the Grand Festival with Ribbons that were earned by someone else. This is seen by the fact that Jessilina entered the Sinnoh Grand Festival with a Ribbon that was won by Princess Salvia.

When the big announcement was made that Ben Affleck was cast as Batman, the internet became flooded with countless images poking fun at the actor. This piece of concept art by Steve Scott recently hit the internet and is casts Batfleck in a more heroic light.
Steven Scott has worked with DC Comics, Marvel, and Dark Horse throughout his career, making this possible new look for the Caped Crusader a visual treat. Of course, this is more than likely not what Batman will look like, but in the end, most people will be content in the end with the Batsuit will look like.

The Belmont Golf course designed and built by Tyrone Yates, is situated in the Belmont Valley farming community about 7kms outside of Grahamstown.
The course boasts 18 beautiful holes of which 12 are on the western side of the Belmont Valley road and 6 on the eastern side of the road. With the Kowie River lined by decade old gigantic Oak trees meandering through the course, and the distant call of a Fish Eagle, The Belmont golf course is fast becoming known as the hidden gem of the Eastern Cape golf world.
Built on an old farm, traditional Eastern Cape bush was put to good use. There is a distinct difference between the course on the eastern side of the road which provides some panoramic views over the crop fields & dairy farms towards Grahamstown, and the western side which features the river, upper slopes of the valley and numerous Oak and other trees which provide home to over 100 different bird species including our logo The Crowned Hornbill.
The Clubhouse restaurant is a popular hangout for families. There's a jungle gym for the kids, a practice putting green and driving range. Grab a pizza and beer and enjoy the spectacular sunsets at The Belmont while watching the final players make their way up to the 18th green.

Honda's 3R-C Concept Vehicle Will Turn Heads At This Year's Geneva Motor Show
Honda's 3 wheeled concept vehicle won't reach the kind of top speeds we'd obtain from the T-Rex, but it will get you there with a far smaller carbon footprint. The Honda 3R-C will be on show at this year's Geneva Motor Show and claims to be a zero emission vehicle using an electric, battery powered motor of some sort. The deets are few and far between, but you know as well as we do that this thing will never get built.

2019 Annual Donor Appeal
A New Vision for PODER
Since opening our doors in 1997, PODER has served over 11,000 Spanish-speaking immigrants seeking English literacy, civic education, and employment training educational tools. Through our primary program, English Works, we offer our signature Integrated English (IE) and Oprima-1 courses and ensure students have a safe place to gain the confidence and skills needed to integrate into society.
We are at a critical moment in our 20-year history. While fully transitioning our program sites to Chicago's southwest side hasn't come without challenges, the growing pains have made way for PODER to expand our reach and impact in the Latino immigrant community. By leveraging strategic partnerships with local organizations such as Marquette Bank, Catholic Charities, and Metropolitan Family Services, PODER has already begun to lay a strong foundation for expanding our services and securing long-term sustainability. See PODER's impact in our newly released 2018 Annual Report.
With your support, we will not only empower more students to achieve self-sufficiency and economic security, but also affect change for families and the larger community. Donate today to support PODER's long-standing programs for the Latino immigrant community.
