Anti-static sprays are effective in hard-to-reach places or blocked surfaces, for products that move at rapid speeds, and on surfaces with an extremely high static charge.
Anti static sprays can help to repel dust and eliminate static build-up on optics, disc drives, photographic materials, lenses, metal rollers and other places where static may be present. More so then other ESD products, anti static spray is an everyday item that is easy to use and has multiple benefits. When applied to a surface, the anti static spray is simply sprayed on and then wiped off, leaving behind nothing but a clean scent and no static buildup. It is not corrosive, but rather intensifies the contact resistance of the surface.
Anti-static sprays have many common household uses, such as rendering clothing, carpet, telephones, walls, ceilings, fixtures, tools and more static free. Industries such as the electronic, graphics, photography, printing and optics industries benefit from anti-static sprays. Since dust and static shock can harm electronics and led to data loss, anti-static sprays are useful in many applications.
Anti-static sprays are available in many sizes from a wide variety of manufacturers. They may also be purchased as part of a field service kit that includes such static control products as anti-static gloves, static bags, static brushes and ionizers.
Static electricity is an electric charge caused by an imbalance of positive and negative charges. The creation of static electricity commonly occurs when two objects rub together, positively charging one object and negatively charging the other in a process known as tribocharging. The transfer of a positive charge from one object to another, results in a release of an electrical charge known as electrostatic discharge (ESD). The heat from an ESD event is so hot and intense that it can vaporize or melt tiny parts in sensitive equipment.
Even low voltage ESD events can cause problems. Static electricity may also result from exposure to an electrical field. Charged conductors, such as metals, can be grounded to completely discharge them, but insulators, such as plastics, cannot discharge, as they do not conduct electricity. Regardless of the material being plastic or metal, most electronic using companies keep special areas for their sensitive equipment called electrostatic protective areas, or EPAs.
It is an area where workers are conscious of what is coming in contact with every object and numerous static control products and techniques are being utilized.

To accelerate sales productivity, portfolio companies can learn from their sponsors. Top performing funds have a deliberate and well-oiled business development machine that generates and qualifies opportunities before burdening the organization with low probability targets. Portfolio companies, unfortunately, are more likely to have poorly managed pipelines and sluggish sales processes that hamper growth and increase costs. The lessons learned from their sponsors can be applied to the portfolio companies in a systematic way, driving sales productivity and enterprise value. In other words, portfolio companies should heed the advice of a popular Philadelphia sports axiom: "trust the process" – and the outcomes will follow.
Adding even one strong company to your private equity firm's portfolio can be an arduous process. Bain & Company estimates that about 30% of deals considered make it to the investment committee, and about 1 to 2% of all deals considered actually close. Given these odds, firms need a disciplined and strong pipeline management process to manage PE deal flow and ensure that funds can remain attractive to limited partners. Similarly, portfolio companies must apply a data-driven lens to pipeline prioritization (which deals to focus on with limited time), conversion (which activities drive wins), and tracking (how you're doing and where you can shift resources to improve).
Ultimately, firms can increase the speed at which their portfolio companies add to the top and bottom line by improving pipeline performance using a simple equation: increasing one or more of three factors (volume, the quality of opportunities and win rate) and decreasing the length of the sales cycle. At middle-market companies, bottlenecks often exist in several, if not all, of these areas. Each of these factors can be improved by running analytics on your company's CRM data or historical customer database, which can provide insights on where the specific bottlenecks are, and show you how to repair them through targeted sales force effectiveness initiatives.
On the flip side, some companies fall victim to "death by reports": They tend to overcomplicate the pipeline management process, making it hard for sales reps to focus on what's important. Instead of focusing too much on the amount of interesting information and insights you can collect, focus instead on the specific, custom actions you can drive through this analysis. For example, don't rely on field reps to crunch the numbers in a market report. Instead, tell them exactly who to call on, roughly how often, and which value messages will resonate to get an optimal mix of volume and quality of opportunities. In the cluttered world we all live in, the field reps will appreciate a more targeted approach and being able to focus on what they do best: sell, not run analytics.
To impact the win (conversion) rate of the pipeline and reduce the sales cycle length, many companies need a more supercharged, standardized approach to moving priority accounts at the top of the stack through the pipeline. To do that, force your account team leads to plan from the mindset of the customer. What are their operating models, needs and pain points relative to your offerings, and how do these vary for different decision makers in the purchase process? Map out those relationships as well as your current strengths and the customers' needs. Knowing which value messages will resonate, who should deliver them and how will lead to a clear engagement plan with timing and milestones. Then, create weekly local objectives tied to clear (and sometimes non-obvious) actions to deliver.
Trust the process. It often takes one to three years, given sales cycles, to realize the full benefit of these pipeline processes. Get to work now and maximize your company's performance.

You probably are aware of how many websites now use distorted letters that the user must type in order to gain access. These distorted letters are virtually impossible for a bot to read, and so spammers are thwarted in their efforts to gain entry to sites where they can cause malicious damage, steel email addresses, etc. Although the process is irritating, most of us accept it as part of doing business on the Internet.
Carnegie Mellon (CM) devised this test, known as a CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart), to help to keep out automated programs known as "bots."
Now CM has devised a way to make the process much less painful, and actually benefit a significant project at the same time. CM is digitizing old books and manuscripts supplied by the non-profit Internet Archive. Approximately one word in ten is illegible by CM's OCR software, and has to be deciphered by a human.
To solve this problem the CU team takes words that the OCR software can't read, and uses images of the them as CAPTCHAs. The distribute these reCAPTCHAs, as they call them, to websites around the world to be used in place of conventional CAPTCHAs. When visitors decipher the reCAPTCHAs to gain access to the web site, the results are sent back to CM. Thus, every time an Internet user deciphers a reCAPTCHA, another word from an old book or manuscript is digitized.
Typing in two words correctly results in the digitisation of one word
Website visitors are presented with two words to examine, one of which is already known. Prof. Luis von Ahn at CMU explains, "If a person types the correct answer to the one we already know, we have confidence that they will give the correct answer to the other. We send the same unknown words to two different people, and if they both provide the same answer then effectively we can be sure that it is correct. If they don't agree then we send it to a lot more people to examine."
Facebook, Twitter and StumbleUpon, among other popular sites, use reCAPTCHAs. Consequently, about one million words every day are being deciphered for CM's book archiving project. It takes about 10 seconds to decipher a reCAPTCHA and type in the answer, representing the equivalent of nearly three thousand daily man hours deciphering words for CM.
But, "There's no danger of us running out of words," says von Ahn. "There's still about 100 million books to be digitised, which at the current rate will take us about 400 years to complete."

LYNDONVILLE, Vt. – Castleton University took the early lead, and then allowed its defense to stop the Lyndon State College attack, as the Spartans pulled away for a 59-41 victory over the Hornets Saturday afternoon in a North Atlantic Conference women's basketball game at Stannard Gymnasium.
Makayla Farrara led the Spartans with 18 points, as she continually drew fouls while driving to the basket and hit 10-of-12 shots from the free throw line. Amanda Beatty hit 6-of-10 shots from the field as she finished with 13 points, and Taylor Raiche pulled down 15 rebounds as Castleton won the rebounding battle, 45-36.
Farrara and Beatty combined to score the first nine points of the game for the Spartans before Lyndon finally broke through halfway through the first quarter. Castleton extended its lead to 19-6 by scoring six straight points in the final two minutes of the opening period, punctuated by a layup by Heather Kervin as time ran out in the quarter.
After Beatty and Farrara opened the second quarter with consecutive baskets, Lyndon scored six straight points, four by Alissa Mitchell, to close to within 11 at 23-12. The two teams exchanged baskets the rest of the first half, with a jumper by Abbie Lesure extending the Spartan lead to 30-16 at halftime.
Ashlie Fay and Alexis Quenneville hit three-pointers to open the third quarter as Castleton scored the first seven points of the second half. Lyndon scored six unanswered points, capped by a traditional three-point play from Faith Poirier, to close to within 15 at 39-24, but the Spartans closed out the third quarter with a 9-2 scoring run, including a layup by Ashleay Wilcox as time ran out.
Lyndon (6-5, 3-2 NAC) outscored Castleton in the fourth quarter, 15-11, led by Mikayla Hodge with six points and five rebounds in the final 10 minutes. Hodge was able to notch her 11th double-double in as many games with 16 points and 10 rebounds, including an 8-for-8 performance at the free throw line.
As a team, the Hornets shot just 25.5 percent (14-of-55) from the field, including 2-of-15 from behind the three-point line, and 73.3 percent (11-of-15) from the free throw line. Lyndon committed just nine turnovers, but were able to score only six points off Castleton turnovers and four second-chance points.
The Spartans shot 37.5 percent (21-of-56) from the field, including 5-of-11 from behind the three-point line, and 70.6 percent (12-of-17) from the free throw line. Castleton committed a season-low 11 turnovers while dishing out 17 assists, led by Fay with five assists.
Castleton (10-1, 6-0 NAC) heads to Middlebury, Vt., Tuesday, Jan. 9, to face the Middlebury College Panthers in a 7 p.m. tipoff. The Spartans then return to Glenbrook Gym and host Johnson State next Saturday, Jan. 13, starting at 1 p.m.

City of Rancho CordovaHome Menu
Housing Projects Under Development
The Reinvestment and Housing Opportunities Division is striving to improve the City's affordable housing stock. This includes both renovating existing structures and building new affordable units for families, senior citizens, and disabled individuals. For information about application requirements, development timelines, amenities, funding, and general inquiries, please contact the Housing Division.
Mather Veterans Village
The City of Rancho Cordova is working with Mercy Housing, the Veterans Resource Center of America, and Mogavero Notestine Associates to plan and design Mather Veterans' Village, a transitional and permanent supportive housing development that will serve disabled homeless veterans. Located in close proximity to the Sacramento VA Medical Center, Mather Veterans Village will help fulfill the large need for service-supported housing for low-income disabled veterans in the Northern California region. The project is co-sponsored by the City of Rancho Cordova, Sacramento County, and the Sacramento VA Medical Center. The multiple-phase project will include at least 100 units of permanent supportive housing and up to 60 transitional beds.
Mather Veterans Village is intended to provide a service-rich living environment, and will be designed to promote a community feel for veterans. Features will include a group dining area, courtyards, and classrooms. Existing grant funding comes from the California Department of Housing and Community Development's Local Housing Trust Fund Program, with matching monies from the City. The City and developer are also pursuing tax credit funding through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program, managed by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee. Tax credits are tax deductions that large firms can purchase to reduce their tax burden. The money generated from the purchase can be used for a range of non-profit activities, including affordable housing developments.
The project's first phase will include 50 permanent supportive housing units and rehabilitation of a vacant infirmary building located on the 3.64 acre site. The rehabilitated two – story infirmary building will provide space for the transitional housing.
If you are interested in learning more about Mather Veterans Village, or to find out how you can volunteer or contribute to the project, please contact:

Q: I raised an informal grievance and I am currently awaiting the outcome. I have applied for a role with another organisation and I would like to know if this will count against me in my new application. Is this likely?
A: This would depend somewhat on what questions your new employer would ask in your reference request. Realistically, it is unlikely to affect your application.
I feel I am being bullied by my employer. When I returned from maternity leave a few months ago, I felt as though I was not welcomed back by my employer, and half of my team was taken away. I have been given very negative comments about the way I do my job. I have things in writing in which my employer has questioned my work ethic.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 29, 2012
According to Virginia Tech Transportation Institute Research "those who send text messages while driving are 23 times more likely to be in a crash." The Pew Internet & American Life Project reports that teens, on average, text five times more a day than a typical adult. With more than 10 million teen drivers on the road, there has never been a better time than now to educate teens on the dangers of texting while driving. iTeen365, the latest and most advanced GPS-based teen vehicle monitoring system dedicated to saving teen lives and bringing them home safely, today issued a new white paper, "The Truth Behind Your Teen Texting and Driving."
"It's important that teen's understand that no message is so urgent that it is worth diverting attention from the road and risking their lives and the lives of others who are on the road in the process," said Joe McBreen, President and CEO of iTrack365, makers of iTeen365. "Our goal has always been to empower teens to be responsible drivers and we hope that by educating teens and their parents on the dangers of texting and driving, we are meeting that goal."
The new white paper examines the various types of distractions that can occur while driving and points out some very sobering statistics when it comes to texting and driving. With texting as a teen's number one mode of communication, it's paramount that there be a shift in thinking when it comes time for them to operate a vehicle. The paper offers recommendations for how parents of teen drivers can address the hazards of texting behind the wheel and includes facts and figures from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Corporate Claims Management, and Distraction.gov – the official US Government Website for Distracted Driving - to support their message.
Texting is a prevalent and constant danger for anyone on the road. With teen's softened attitudes toward the danger of it, it's crucial that parents not only take the time to educate themselves about the risks, but that they too abstain from texting. Being a positive role model can have a powerful impact on how a teen perceives the dangers of texting and will hopefully encourage them to pass the wisdom on to their peers.

Bonnaroo 2012 Part I: Fellowship of the Ring
'Twas mid-November 2011. I had finally come to terms with the morbid fact that I, Jakob Ross, would be forced to move to Grovetown, Georgia, which (unless you've not read my more recent articles) you probably know by now. Around this time I had made the decision to do the one thing that would make the move worth it. I'm not talking about humidity, rednecks, or seeing more back sweaters than real sweaters. I'm talking about the legendary Bonnaroo festival which takes place annually in Manchester, Tennessee.
At first, it was sort of a joke. Then came the lineup announcement, and both my dad and I knew this would be maybe our only chance to hit a world-famous music festival before I'm off to college and he's off to his 40s. With Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Phish handling head-lining duties, I knew that missing this festival would be the biggest mistake of my life. Come February, our wristbands were purchased and the official countdown could begin.
Fast-forward to the beginning days of June 2012. My dad made the decision to pick up a carpooler outside of Atlanta and the countdown was in the single digits. Finally, on Thursday June 7 and after my dad got home from work, we were off. We set sail on the mighty Oceanus Interstatus and were starving for delicious servings (17 to be exact) of amazing bands. They were the best of times, they were the worst of times. Or something.
Chapter 1: Thursday Night
We parked at around 9:30 PM started setting up our tents. Unfortunately there was not enough room to fit both our tent and our guest's tent. And our car didn't have enough power for us to blow up our air mattress. So, we set up our tent a bit farther away, decided to sleep on a deflated mattress, and pushed on. At about 11 PM we went into Centeroo (where all the stages are) in hopes of catching Alabama Shakes at This Tent. Unfortunately, the crowd was so big that there was no way we could've seen anything. Same goes for Big Gigantic at That Tent and MiMosa at The Other Tent.
Downtrodden and after a slice of pizza, we made our way back to camp to get the best night's sleep we could hope to get at a festival with no curfews and with bands going all night long. I knew I would feel it the enthusiasm the next morning. Just needed some well-deserved and well-needed R&R.
Chapter 2: Friday Morning
Although we had our alarm set for 10 AM, we quickly learned that sleeping in past 8 is nigh impossible. So, with a good three hours or so to kill until our first act of the festival, The Kooks, we hung out. Got to talk to our neighbors and I even got to meet BeezNutz, a member of the St. Louis chapter of the CC Family.
After a major family-related setback that jeopardized our stay at Bonnaroo, we sorted through it and prepared to make another journey into Centeroo. We explored our general area (thankfully we were close to the port-a-potties) and made good use of the free wash area, which was great for teeth-brushing, shaving, hand-washing, etc. At 10:30 AM (our car was still adjusted to Eastern Time so I thought it was 11:30) we made our way second voyage to Centeroo to catch 2nd wave Britpop band The Kooks at Which Stage.
Chapter 3: The Kooks and the Comedy Theatre
After an hour and 45 minutes of waiting (again, blaming the car here) The Kooks graced the stage to bring their contagiously catchy brand of happiness and smiles to the crowd that was gathered to watch. They played what I'm pretty sure were quite a few of their hits: Is It Me?, She Moves Her Own Way, Ooh La, Junk of the Heart (Happy), and Naive. Their set was pretty fun to watch, actually. I'm not the biggest Kooks fan in the world, but they are great when it comes to summertime music, especially a sunny Friday afternoon at Bonnaroo. In terms of Britpop I'd most likely compare them to Pulp more than I would to Oasis or Blur, mostly because of the cheeriness among the band and the feel of the music.
After their set ended and we grabbed some lunch, we headed over to the comedy tent to try and grab some tickets to catch Aziz Ansari. To get into a comedy show you have to grab tickets which they hand out 2 hours in advance. And for some reason I didn't expect the line to stretch out to 2000 people. After deciding that it's not worth it, we walked around to see what else was going on (there's ALWAYS something going on.)
Chapter 4: SOJA
Celebrating a successful Thursday night set, Virginia-based reggae band SOJA, who have some of the nattiest dreads I've ever seen on white people, hit the Solar Stage, a solar-powered mini-stage that hosts environmentally conscious bands and artists that play some songs and do a Q&A session.
At about 2:05 the eight-piece came out and put on a very four-song set, interspersed with questions curated by…. some dude. I was sorta hoping it would be an audience participation sort of thing where we could ask the questions. I really wanted to ask Jacob Hemphill how high he was at that moment, on a scale of 1 to Snoop Dogg.
Either way, it was great to see them break into acoustic version of songs such as Strength to Survive and Nothing Ever Changes. Based on the interview they seem like legitimately cool dudes and I'm glad we got to check out their set. And with that we made our way to see a last-minute addition to the Ross Duo's Official Bonnaroo schedule: Fitz and the Tantrums.
Chapter 5: Fitz and the Tantrums & St. Vincent
Sometimes fate can be great. Fitz and the Tantrums just so happened to be playing That Tent, which would be followed in the same tent by St. Vincent, one of my must-see artists of Bonnaroo.
This was my first time in one of the tents, so discovering that the ground was sand was quite the surprise. This would mean that if the crowd got crazy, a huge sand cloud would form and make its way into the lungs of the hundreds of people gathered to see whichever band. It's already pretty dusty at the farm, so whoever thought it was a good idea to put sand on the ground was a moron. But that's just my opinion.
At about 5, neo-soul group Fitz and the Tantrums appeared on stage to many adoring fans. And despite what Reverend Justito might say, they put on a fantastic show. The music is simple enough for most people to get and fun enough for most people to dance to. They even through in their covers of Steady As She Goes and Sweet Dreams Are Made of This, making both songs way cheerier than they actually are.
Singers Michael Fitzpatrick and Noelle Scaggs have a great chemistry and seem to play characters during their songs which reflect their attitude. Sometimes they'll get up in each others faces West Side Story style and other times they'll smile at each other and dance. That is only a part of what makes them so great live. Add in the insane amount of audience participation (my hands were sore from clapping along) and you've got a Fitz and the Tantrums show. They ended their set with their career-starting hit MoneyGrabber and even pulled a Slipknot by having the ground crouch to the ground and jump up at the song's climax.
Setlist: Don't Gotta Work It Out, Winds of Change, Pickin' Up The Pieces, Wake Up, Breakin' the Chains of Love, Rich Girls, The End, Steady As She Goes, Tighter, 6 AM, L.O.V., New Song, Dear Mr. President, News 4 U, Sweet Dreams, MoneyGrabber
After Fitz ended, we grabbed some food and took a quick bathroom break before preparing to have our faces melted off by St. Vincent. I made my way into the crowd because I knew this would be a show I wouldn't want to miss.
Annie Clark is to women what Dave Grohl is to men. She is an astoundingly talented musician, singer, songwriter, and just all-around cool person. Her 17-song 75-minute no-holds-barred set at Bonnaroo showcased her talents, both on her axe and on her vocal chords. She played mostly songs from her stellar 2011 record Stranger Mercy, but broke out a couple songs from her other records Actor and Marry Me.
One thing you notice about Annie Clark is her guitar playing. The guitar is almost an extra appendage for her; to see her perform without it would be like seeing the drummer of Def Leppard lose his other arm. And she is full of emotion, too. At times she is ominous and borderline scary, kind of like Winona Rider in Beetlejuice; other times she is happy and cute, kind of like Winona Rider in Heathers. (Those will be the only Winona Rider comparisons because those are the only movies with her I've seen.) Couple that with the "How did she make her guitar sound like that?" effect that benefited Jimi Hendrix, Kevin Shields, and Tom Morello, and you've got a face-melting show from an insanely talented person. Long live Annie Clark.
Setlist: Marrow, Cheerleader, Chloe in the Afternoon, Save Me From What I Want, Actor Out of Work, Dilettante, Black Rainbow, Cruel, Surgeon, Champagne Year, Neutered Fruit, Year of the Tiger, Northern Lights, She Is Beyond Good And Evil, The Party, Your Lips Are Red, Krokodil
Chapter 6: Radiohead and Major Lazer
After St. Vincent's glorious set, we headed over to the What Stage to catch the first headliner of the festival, Radiohead. Earlier this year, I didn't care much at all about Radiohead, but I've slowly been turned onto them after listening to more of their music and watching their more recent live performances. And what can I say? Radiohead absolutely delivered, and then some.
The set was devoted songs from 2011's The King of Limbs and 2007's In Rainbows without any doubt. Almost half the set, actually, was from those two albums. Other bits and pieces from Hail to the Thief, Amnesiac, Kid A, and OK Computer were scattered throughout, as well as the new tracks Identikit and Daily Mail.
The lights display for Radiohead is really what makes their show so fantastic. As the drum-and-bass rhythms reach an epic climax, the screen lights up brighter and brighter. There were even eight or so little screens that moved around above Thom and Co.
Say what you will about their music, especially their more recent music, but Radiohead are a phenomenal live band, and I'm glad I got to see them once.
Setlist: Bloom, 15 Step, Kid A, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Staircase, The Daily Mail, I Might Be Wrong, The Gloaming, Separator, Nude, Morning Mr. Magpie, Identikit, Lotus Flower, There There, Karma Police, Feral, Idioteque ENCORE 1: You and Whose Army?, House of Cards, Supercollider (dedicated to Jack White), Bodysnatchers, Everything In Its Right Place ENCORE 2: Give Up the Ghost, Reckoner (dedicated to Red Hot Chili Peppers), Paranoid Android
After the longest Radiohead show of the year ended (this is a fact), we headed over to This Tent to catch dubstep/electronic/reggae duo Major Lazer and then make our way into the crowd for Umphrey's McGee's late night set.
Electronica and reggae were two things I never thought would go together, but Major Lazer makes it work so perfectly well. DJs Diplo and Scratch played music for everybody to dance to, from the fat men to the topless women they were begging to see.
Audience participation is a big part of their show, they even brought a guy on stage and had their dancers give him the Major Lazer treatment, whatever that is. Their set was a lot of fun, but whoever the hype man is, he is wicked obnoxious. Just saying.
Chapter 7: Umphreaks' Delight
Umphrey's McGee are a band that, to be honest, I hadn't heard much of. But per the recommendation of CC family members, we made the decision to stick around until 4 in the morning to catch a super-special late night Umphrey's McGee set. And you know what, we had a lot of fun!
20 minutes had passed since they were supposed to take the stage, and nothing had happened. The stage was set up and everything was tuned. Then, the lights went down and Umphrey's came out and blew the roof off This Tent.
Umphrey's opened up with Gurgle which led right into 40's Theme, the latter of which featured a tease One Nation Under A Groove by Funkadelic. Then they went into Plunger which led right into The Floor. Afterwards they played Pay the Snucka with a Stranglehold tease, which jammed on into the Triple Wide which eventually led back into Pay the Snucka, this time with a Bulls on Parade tease.
Umphrey's played like absolute maniacs. The two guitarists are amazing at what they do, and watching them do the overhand finger-tapping was insane. If I passed these people on the street, I would NEVER in a million years think "That guy must be an insane guitar player."
At around 4, Umphrey's invited up the special guest that everyone was speculating about: Big Gigantic. The saxophone player did a sax solo as the members of UM left the stage. Big Gigantic did a jam before Umphrey's came back on and did a second set that lasted til 6 in the morning!
As cool as it would have been to say that I was there, I just couldn't stay up that long. So we left after Big Gigantic came on got 3 hours of sleep.
Setlist: Gurgle > 40's Theme*, Plunger – > The Floor, Pay the Snucka** > The Triple Wide > Pay the Snucka$, Puppet String, JaJunk > Breathe$$ (Pink Floyd cover) > Plunger, Ringo^ > All In Time&, Bright Lights Big City, 1348 > Hajimemashite, Miss Tinkle's Overture > Thunderstruck (AC/DC cover) > Miss Tinkle's Overture, Booth Love, Wizard Burial Ground ENCORE: In the Kitchen&& > JaJunk

Chapter 8: Day Complete
Quite a successful day if I do say so myself. I wasn't disappointed at all by any band I saw. And I could say that I got 3 hours of sleep at Bonnaroo! Because seriously, you're not gonna sleep in after 8 in the morning. Trust me.

Coaches, Kids & Chemicals Summit 2017
The Prevention Action strategy aims to change or influence multiple community conditions and circumstances to reduce community level alcohol, tobacco, and other substance problems.
The Coalition utilizes environmental strategies based on a community systems perspective that views a community as a set of persons engaged in shared social, cultural, political, and economic processes. Environmental strategies are based on the belief that substance abuse is a product of multiple environmental conditions and circumstances. These include the norms of the communities in which they live, the accessibility of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, the mass media messages to which they are exposed, and the rules and policies of the social institutions to which individuals belong. The Coalition follows this CAMP Model from the Marin Institute to identify root causes for substance abuse and target interventions within these four areas.
Effective prevention requires interventions in various facets of community life that are designed to change individuals and the environment in which they live. Coalition prevention activities are aligned with the the Seven Strategies for Community Change from Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA).

S: Arthur - ROBERT LOCKLEAR
FC: In addition to being some of the greatest men in American history, the American presidents were also men with all the quirks and foibles that entails. Between the indiscretions of George Washington and the indiscretions Bill Clinton fall these interesting, unusual, and sometimes embarrassing facts in this story book.
1: In addition to his many other eccentricities, Thomas Jefferson had some unusual pets. Lewis and Clark, the explorers sent back from the Louisiana purchase some grizzly cubs, and Jefferson was often seen walking them around the grounds of the White House. (Although Herbert Hoover might have bested this: his son has two pet alligators.
2: William Howard Taft, our 27th President, was known as "Big Bill," and for a good reason. He was 6' 2" tall and weighted over 330 pounds. He was so large, in fact, that he once got stuck in the White House bath tub, which had to be replaced with a special oversized version.
3: Warren G. Harding was considered by many to be one of the worst presidents ever. He was also an avid gambler. In addition, he once bet all the White House china on a hand of cards and lost. He also gave his dog, Laddie Boy, its own seat at the cabinet table. Somewhat ironically, he coined the term "normalcy."
4: John Tyler, who became president after the death of Harrison, later joined the confederacy and was elected to their house of representatives | Ulysses S. Grant was the first president to run against a women, the 1872 nominee of the Equal Rights Party, Victoria Woodhull, a spiritualist, activist, and former prostitute known as "the high priestess of free love."
5: In addition to being the first president to be assassinated, Abraham Lincoln had the unusual distinction of being the first president to endure an attempted grave robbing. In 1876, thieves tried to steal his body from its tomb, in the hopes of holding it for ransom.
6: Chester A. Arthur, who became president after the assassination of James Garfield, suffered from Bright's disease, which was what modern medicine calls nephritis, but kept it a secret, and even attempted to gain the nomination for a second term (he died less than two years after leaving office). And, he was not the only president to conceal an illness.
7: In addition to FDR's well-known secret paralysis, John Kennedy suffered from Addision's disease, a rare endocrine disorder. Some historians believe he was the sickest man to ever hold the office of U.S. President.
8: He is the first African American president. He won a Grammy Award in 2006 for Best Spoken Word Recording. It was the audio version of his book Dreams From My Father. On top of that, he doesn't like ice cream. However, he worked in Baskin Robbins as a teenager. That's where his distaste for ice cream comes from.
9: He smokes but wants to quit. The White House has a no smoking policy. Also, he experimented with drugs when he was younger. Back then, he tried marijuana and cocaine. He admits it was a big mistake.

Preparing to write a resume is an important step in the resume writing process. Taking some time initially to determine what should be included in a resume and how the data should be organized will help in developing an effective resume.
After determining the organization and content of your resume, focus on the actual writing of the resume. The following information will detail important aspects to include in typical sections found on a resume.
Suggested Resume Categories
You should select categories that highlight your skills for the specific situation.
Note: Remember to check your outgoing answering machine announcement. Make sure your outgoing announcement is courteous and professional.
Objective/Career Summary
Your work history should be listed in reverse chronological order, starting with your most recent experience first.
Each experience should include the Position Title, Name of Employer, Location (City and State), Dates of Employment
(Month and Year) and a Description (short action statements describing your duties).
Be specific in your descriptions. Describe the details or projects, reporting relationships and what you did. Recent graduates should describe participation in professional situations with appropriate descriptions such as summer work, internship, freelance or part-time work.
When describing a current job, action statements should be in the present tense while past positions should be described in the past tense. These descriptions are usually incomplete sentences that are bulleted to make them easy to read and always start with an action verb to provide an immediate idea of the types of skills being used. Qualify and quantify your accomplishments whenever possible. An example could be recruited and trained five new employees.
Activities/Honors/Professional Memberships
Activities, Honors, and Professional Memberships can be combined or listed separately. Items included in this area are usually listed on one line. If all activities and honors are connected to your current institution, you do not need to list it with the activity.
Resumes should be printed on high quality, letter size, cotton or linen/cotton paper a cream or white color works best. Cover letters and reference lists should also be printed on this paper.
Font and Margin Size
In order for a resume to be easy to read, font size should be between 11 and 12 with a fairly simple type of font. Some fonts you can use are Ariel, Verdana or Times New Roman. With the exception of your name, font size should be consistent throughout the resume. Margins should be at least .5 on the top and bottom and .7 on the left and right.
Most resumes of entry-level graduates should be limited to one page. Accomplishments and work experiences need to be rather significant before expanding a resume to two pages.
The resume format should be consistent throughout the document. All dates, locations, job titles, etc. should be in the same position for each description. The layout should be easy to read and allow for some spacing to ensure it is pleasing to the eye. Avoid using resume templates as it limits the editing, spacing, and font selections that may be used.
Different Versions
Create different versions of your resume emphasizing different skills and experiences if you are seeking employment in different types of fields. You also want to create different versions of your resume and cover letter to match each company you are applying to.
Before: Worked with businesses to carry out United Way fund-raising goals.
After: Partnered with more than 20 area businesses to raise $15k for United Way, exceeding the goal by 23%
Before: Helped accountants with various public accountings projects
After: Assisted accountants auditing $55,000 in accounts receivables for companies largest client
Before: Developed marketing plans to promote concert series on campus
After: Developed fully integrated marketing campaign distributed to 10,000 students resulting in 12% increase in concert attendance

Reclamation In Mining: Designed For The Future
Development and Innovation How reclamation in mining is helping to preserve Canadian water.
If you drive 55 km north of Vancouver along the Sea-to-Sky highway you'll come across the quaint community of Britannia Beach tucked beneath the elbowed mountains facing Howe Sound.
For the better part of the past century, Britannia Beach was home to a high successful copper mine held by Britannia Mine Company and later Anaconda Mining until it was deemed uneconomical and closed in 1974. Unfortunately, that's not where the story ends.
The problem and solution
Following closure in the mid-70s, this site spewed out one tonne of heavy metals into Howe Sound every day, says John Meech, Professor of Mining Engineering and Director of CERM3—The Centre for Environmental Research in Minerals, Metals, and Materials—at the University of British Columbia.
"Environment Canada called it the worst single source of metallic pollution in North America," says Meech.
In 2001, Meech and his research group at UBC installed a plug in the 2200 Level adit—an entrance—preventing pollution from entering the water system.
"Blue mussels began repopulating the mouth of the creek within six months and pink salmon were photographed spawning in the creek about 10 years later,"
he adds.
"Today a water treatment plant removes all the metals and neutralizes the effluent prior to discharge into Howe Sound—this demonstrates how fast Mother Nature can recover with a little help from us."
Granted, the wide scale release of toxic metals into water systems is a dated practice—with mining companies utilizing technology to reduce their water use and minimize impact on the environment.
"Technology clearly is advancing but I think it's also awareness that's advancing," says Jerry Danni.
Building trust
"Technology clearly is advancing but I think it's also awareness that's advancing," says Jerry Danni, Vice President of Environment for Vancouver-based mining company Goldcorp. "There's a lot more collaboration with local stakeholders, communities and groups like the World Wildlife Fund than there was twenty years ago."
Not to mention, recognition that there's not only a need for that collaboration but there's value in it when it comes to building trust with stakeholders, adds Danni. The collaboration is an example of an increasing sensitivity towards the needs of multiple stakeholders—from first nation communities with cultural considerations to locals using the water for agriculture and recreation.
"Before we even turn over a shovel of dirt we ask how it's going to impact our closure plan," says Danni. "When we develop new mines we design for closure."

Enjoying street foods is the best way to understand more about a city's cultural identity and also the traditional cuisine. Keep an eye out for these Tokyo street food favorites during your next trip to this city.
Ikayaki (grilled squid) is a Tokyo street food staple. Whole or partially whole squid are doused with sweet soy sauce and seasonings, skewered and grilled. It's popular at fairs and local festivals, but you can also find ikayaki year round at places like the Outer Market of Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo's Chuo Ward.
Taiyaki is a popular snack year round, and you'll find taiyaki stands throughout the city. They are fish shaped cakes traditionally filled with red bean paste (anko) but these days are stuffed with everything from cheese to custard. Try the famous Kurikoan brand taiyaki stand, there's one in Akihabara.
Dango are dumplings made from rice flour and bear similarities to mochi. They are very common and can be purchased at convenience stores, but homemade versions can be bought on the street, particularly during festivals. Try special hanami dango at the Meguro River Cherry Blossom Festival or the famous charcoal dango of Mount Takao.
Takoyaki are round cakes cooked on a special griddle and stuffed with octopus pieces. Also known as octopus balls or octopus dumplings, takoyaki can always be found at festivals and even in some grocery stores, but is also available year round from specialty stands. Try the famous recipe at Gindako (Gindaco) takoyaki shops.
Cute and colorful crepes have become a symbol of the Harajuku area. Stroll down Takeshita Street and find the vendor with the longest line – in Japan, that means the food must be good.
Okonomiyaki are savory pancakes held together with a batter and bulked up with meat, vegetables (usually lots of cabbage), topped with sauce and mayo. They are easily customized and have many regional variances. Find street style okonomiyaki at local festivals, but it is also sold in specialty restaurants year round.
Chestnuts (maron) are a fall and winter favorite in Tokyo. Okunitama Shrine even hosts the Chestnut Festival each September to celebrate them. In season, you can pick up freshly roasted chestnuts from vendors around busy pedestrian areas like Asakusa's Senso-ji and Ueno Park.
Kasutera (Castella)
Kasutera are light and simple sponge cakes, and the street food variety are usually small and sold by the handful. The recipe was brought to Japan in the 16th century by the Portuguese, so its long lasting popularity is a testament to its deliciousness. Find them at local festivals and casual food fairs.
From skewered hearts and livers to gizzards and necks, this popular drinking snack ensures no part of the animal is wasted. Yakitori skewers are a staple of izakaya menus but are also enjoyed as a street food during festivals. Memory Lane (Omoide Yokocho) aka Piss Alley is famous for its many small yakitori bars.
Kakigori is a street food best enjoyed in summer. It is shaved ice topped with fruit flavored syrups, or more modern creations like caramel and chocolate. Kakigori is sold at summer festivals and fireworks displays (hanabi).

Brand new cars can be equipped with some amazing technology, including things like Wi-Fi, remote start, vehicle health monitors, and more. But if you've been envying this technology from afar, you won't have to anymore thanks to Ford.
Ford engineers have created an ingenious device called SmartLink that can give certain 2010-2016 model year Ford and Lincoln cars access to these and other great features.
The Ford SmartLink upgrades simply involve plugging a simple device into the OBD II port under the steering wheel. This device will then open up the world to vehicles not equipped with a modem.
After the update, owners should be able to enjoy Wi-Fi capable of supporting up to eight devices at once, remote connectivity to their vehicle, health and location alerts, and more. Owners will be able to connect to their vehicles through a companion app or Web Portal where they can activate features, see alerts, and even schedule service appointments.
"Ford SmartLink will surprise and delight owners of recent model-year vehicles by adding some of today's most popular connectivity features" said Stephen Odell, executive vice president, Global Marketing, Sales and Service.
The Ford SmartLink upgrades will be available here at Robbie Roberson Ford starting this summer.

Something we do a lot and is becoming quite popular, is the unity sand ceremony. There is an empty middle vase and 2 side vases that are filled with colored sand. The bride and groom pour these 2 sands which represent their separate lives and when poured into the middle vase , the individual sands no longer exist and are joined as one. Same as your marriage.
If there are children from previous marriages that are now becoming part of this new family, they can also be included to pour sand in the middle vase. We like to have them take a handful of sand from the beach and add on top of bride and grooms sand.
Most beach wedding companies will have their own reading and way of including in the ceremony so you just need to ask if you do not see it in their package.

This blog was also written on my BlackBerry Passport. Its a solid productivity device. Writing this blog was very smooth. BB10 is a multi tasking beast of an operating system to bad not to many people have given it a chance.
This has been pumped 3 nights in a row by crappy pumpers. They are running out of promoters and it started heading south today. Tomorrow could be the day of destruction. I'm short and I may look to add if there is a morning pop.
This is the BrightonMarkets current stock promotion. I luckily shorted some this morning. 8k shares at 1.51 but only made 1.1k covering to soon like I usually do. Emails hitting tonight hopefully they can get it back on track so we can short it again. Their last play was $VHUB. BrightonMarkets hasn't had a good play in sometime now. We"ll see what happens.
www.ifanreport.com hard mailer promotion. With a purported 3.5 million dollar budget. When I see inflated budgets like that I tend not to believe it but I guess we shall see. I'm looking to start a starters position soon.
Read my report here. This is starting very similar to $VOIL stock promotion. That too also started with a Moskowitz report. Let's hope for all our sakes it's not another 6 month stock promotion. $VOIL has been one annoying POS. I will continue to watch for the next play on this. Landing page here http://frotinfo.com/
Crap pump from a couple days ago like to short small think it goes lower. Short ask cover bid type play.
This was pumped today. Probably will continue to fade. I'll look to short.
I can't wait for this POS to die. One of the most annoying pumps in sometime. Starting to roll over will they finally let it die? I hope so. I'll probably won't be along for the ride basically tired of this stock.

Up Close with the Developer of the Trapcode Plug-in Suite
We asked Swedish developer Peder Norrby, the one-man developer behind the popular Trapcode Particular, how he got started creating plug-ins and what inspires him within the computer graphics community and in the wider cultural universe to create his addictive, effects-building code.
When and why did you first decide to create your top-selling plug-in, Trapcode Particular? Peder Norrby: I started writing Trapcode Particular in 2002 because my customers kept requesting a 3D particle system. I got hooked on the idea and went to work. My goal was to create a robust 3D particle system that would be easy to start using and also contain advanced features for advanced users. It took me two years to code the first version which was released in 2004. It is continuously being developed, and in 2006, version 1.5 was released, which included, among other things, a fast and good-looking depth-of-field option. It's been extremely popular.
When did you know that your new company would take off?
PN: From the very first day of selling the first product, Trapcode Shine, it was apparent that I had found something extraordinary. I remember that same night, after selling 30 or so licenses, I went out with some good friends and celebrated with sparkling wine. But it was not until the release of Trapcode Particular 1.5 that I began to really understand the magnitude of things.
I think it's fair to say that Particular, er, in particular, has almost a cult following among those who use it. Does that surprise you?
PN: Well, I'm surprised at the success of Trapcode overall! I do not think cult following is a good description of Trapcode's fans, but I'm happy and proud that people find my software useful. I think my customers appreciate that I listen to them and do my best to provide fresh tools they can use to express themselves. There is also a business-perspective: our goal is for our customers to wow their clients and make more money using the products than the cost of the products themselves, so it is turns out to be a very good investment for them. Good investments are always popular, and news of them tend to spread.
What recent work created with Particular, or with any of your other plug-ins, really inspires you?
PN: I post all stuff that I admire in the Trapcode Gallery, so really, I think all of them are extremely cool. PSYOP "Coke" is an amazing piece: It takes you on a beautiful journey inside a Coke vending machine and shows well what Coca-Cola is trying to communicate in terms of the experience of drinking Coke. And I love the fairytale style of it. "Lexus Hybrid Drive," by the German shop, Barbecue Mediendesign GmbH, is also a wonderful piece. I love the light world they created and the visualization of hybrid drive using two energy-spheres that fly around. And "GE-996," by PISTACHIOS, just blew my mind. I think it is beautifully designed and it takes hold of you right to the very end.
What was your original aim with Trapcode?
PN: To be able to make a living without having a boss and also to be able to travel freely in the world. I am happy to say that this goal has now been reached.
Can you talk about your latest releases, such as Trapcode Horizon-a great tool for creating the perception of depth and infinite space in a 3D comp-and Trapcode Klangfarbe iTunes Visualizer, now in beta? And while you're at it: what's a "Klangfarbe"?
PN: Trapcode Horizon came from a need I experienced myself when working with the other 3D plugs from Trapcode (such as 3D Stroke, Form and Particular). I found it hard to orient myself sometimes when moving the camera around. I wanted some kind of infinite distance that would provide a reference orientation in 3D space. Klangfarbe is German for "timbre" or "tone color". I wanted to create a correspondence between music and color. Aside from being lots of fun to write, it helped me get up to date in GPU (graphics card) programming. These cards open lots of possibilities when it comes to real-time graphics.
Before you got into the plug-in business, what did you do? And what led you to software design?
PN: As a young kid I liked to draw and paint and I also liked music a lot. When home-computers starting being available in the '80s, I realized they could be used to create moving images and music, I got totally into the world of assembly programming, the demo-scene as it was called then. I was, and I still am, a total computer geek. Basically, I found my passion when I was young, and since then I've just kept doing it. I'm fortunate to say that I love my job.
How does fashion, fine art and music influence your work as a software developer?
PN: Very much, of course! All types of creative expression affect me profoundly. I could not live in a world without art! It connects people on a very fundamental level that could be described as unconscious, or even spiritual. I get tons of inspiration from fine art, movies, fashion, TV, and just the world in general.
How does feedback from users influence it?
PN: The feedback is a vital part of development. I mean, after all, it is the people that use the software who know how it should work. I always ask my customers what they think and I always listen to them.
What other non-software related projects are you working on now, beyond what you continue to do with your electronica band, Rymden, and as a partner in the fashion outpost, Le Shop Stockholm?
PN: Trapcode recently invested in an eco-village project on a small island called Gili-Meno close to Bali. I'm very excited to both get a house there and to understand how to build and sustain a house while minimizing our ecological footprint.
Another fun project is that we sponsor the Swedish basketball team, Akropol. They do great work for kids and teenagers in the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby. And it's great to go and watch the games; I used to play myself when I was a kid.
OK, back to software…What's coming up next in the Trapcode lineup?
PN: I'm currently looking over some of the older products, so there should be some updates coming next year. Also, as I said, real-time stuff is exciting, so we'll see where that takes me.

Head Hunters
Head Hunters is the twelfth studio album by the American pianist and composer Herbie Hancock, released October 13, 1973, on Columbia Records. Recording sessions for the album took place in the evening at Wally Heider Studios and Different Fur Trading Co. in San Francisco, California. In 2003, the album was ranked number 498 in the book version of Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Head Hunters is a key release in Hancock's career and a defining moment in the genre of jazz (much so to the point that in 2007 the Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry, which collects "culturally, historically or aesthetically important" sound recordings from the 20th century). [7]

Structure and releaseEdit
Head Hunters followed a series of experimental albums by Hancock's sextet: Mwandishi, Crossings, and Sextant, released between 1971 and 1973, a time when Hancock was looking for a new direction in which to take his music:
I began to feel that I had been spending so much time exploring the upper atmosphere of music and the more ethereal kind of far-out spacey stuff. Now there was this need to take some more of the earth and to feel a little more tethered; a connection to the earth. ... I was beginning to feel that we (the sextet) were playing this heavy kind of music, and I was tired of everything being heavy. I wanted to play something lighter.— Hancock's sleeve notes: 1997 CD reissue
For the new album, Hancock assembled a new band, the Headhunters, of whom only Bennie Maupin had been a sextet member. Hancock handled all synthesizer parts himself (having previously shared these duties with Patrick Gleeson) and he decided against the use of guitar altogether, favoring instead the clavinet, one of the defining sounds on the album. The new band featured a tight rhythm and blues-oriented rhythm section composed of Paul Jackson (bass) and Harvey Mason (drums), and the album has a relaxed, funky groove that gave the album an appeal to a far wider audience. Perhaps the defining moment of the jazz-fusion movement (or perhaps even the spearhead of the Jazz-funk style of the fusion genre), the album made jazz listeners out of rhythm and blues fans, and vice versa. The album mixes funk rhythms, like the busy high hats in 16th notes on the opening track "Chameleon", with the jazz AABA form and extended soloing.
Of the four tracks on the album "Watermelon Man" was the only one not written for the album. A hit from Hancock's hard bop days, originally appearing on his first album Takin' Off, it was reworked by Hancock and Mason and has an instantly recognizable intro featuring Bill Summers blowing into a beer bottle, an imitation of the hindewho, an instrument of the Mbuti Pygmies of Northeastern Zaire. The track features heavy use of African percussion. "Sly" was dedicated to the pioneering funk musician Sly Stone, leader of Sly and the Family Stone. "Chameleon" (the opening track) is another track with an instantly recognizable intro, the introductory line played on an ARP Odyssey synth. "Vein Melter" is a slow-burner, predominantly featuring Hancock and Maupin, with Hancock mostly playing Fender Rhodes electric piano, but occasionally bringing in some heavily effected synth parts.
Heavily edited versions of "Chameleon" and "Vein Melter" were released as a 45 rpm single.
After its initial release, the album was also mixed into quadraphonic (4-channel sound) and released by Columbia in 1974 in the vinyl and 8-track tape formats. The quad mixes features audio elements not heard in the stereo version, including a 2-second keyboard melody at the beginning of "Sly" that was edited out. It was released digitally on the SACD edition for the album (Columbia/Legacy CS 65123).
Until George Benson's Breezin' (1976), it was the largest-selling jazz album of all time, and has been an inspiration not only for jazz musicians, but also to funk, soul music, jazz funk and hip hop artists.
The Headhunters band (with Mike Clark replacing Harvey Mason) worked with Hancock on a number of other albums, including Thrust (1974), Man-Child (1975), Flood (recorded live in Japan, 1975). The subsequent albums Secrets (1976) and Sunlight (1977), had widely diverging personnel. The Headhunters, with Hancock featured as a guest soloist, produced a series of funk albums, Survival of the Fittest (1975) and Straight from the Gate (1978), the first of which was produced by Hancock and included the big hit "God Make me Funky".
The image on the album cover, designed by Victor Moscoso, is based on the African kple kple mask of the Baoulé tribe from Ivory Coast. The image is also based on tape head demagnetizers used on reel-to-reel audio tape recording equipment at the time of this recording.[8]

Transform your pics into paintings
From photograph to painting in seconds.
It's never been easier to turn a photo into a more painterly work of art. Instead of finding an IRL professional (with actual canvas and paints) or shelling out major cash for complex software and a graphic-design degree, just use your phone.
Thanks to a few ingenious algorithms and some heavy lifting from the computing power of your iPhone or iPad, these apps can create a masterpiece in seconds.
Make an impression(ist)
Waterlogue is the original app for this – and thanks to recent updates it's faster than ever. Watch your photos transform into delicate watercolour paintings before your eyes.
To try it, choose a photo from your iPhone or iPad, then apply one of the dozen or so filters. Results not to your taste? Scroll all the way to the right to change the level of detail as well as the brightness.
See the world like an artist
Once you've mastered watercolours, move on to oils. Oilist converts any photo to the painting styles of legends like Monet and Cézanne. The app will paint in real time, with the image evolving right before your eyes.
Make the composition all your own by toying with a variety of presets, brushes and effects. Oilist will never show the same result twice, so tap the picture frame icon to save the fleeting creation.
The Artist in your Pocket.
Make it minimal(ist)
With Olli by Tinrocket, turn your photos and videos into comic-style artwork. The Cel and Lux filters generate a bright cartoon effect, while Salt and Ground produce high-contrast images in the style of graphic novels. Eight options come free with the app, with more available via in-app purchase.
Olli by Tinrocket
Capture living illustrations
Inkwork reduces a photo to its essential lines and shapes, making it look like a monochromatic woodblock or screen print. You get two colours (one dark, one light) and dozens of pen styles to choose from. After finding the perfect filter, make tiny adjustments to get it just right. Try Inkwork to capture unusual patterns or close-up portraits too.

New Line has released the trailer for the Ice Cube, Charlie Day and Tracy Morgan-led comedy "Fist Fight" which is slated to open in cinemas February 17th next year.
Day plays a meek teacher challenged to a fist fight by his much tougher colleague (Cube). Christina Hendricks will play a school drama teacher who has a romantic connection with Cube's character, while Dean Norris and Jillian Bell play the school's principal and guidance counselor respectively.
