As we all know by now, Facebook is the largest social networking platform in the world. Its newest feature, Facebook Live, enables users to broadcast live videos to the largest audience in the world.
Though Facebook Live has only been available to the general public for a few months, savvy users and businesses have already realized its tremendous value. Hubspot explains, "Why are marketers getting so excited about Facebook Live? Because it's an awesome way for them to use the power of live video to communicate their brand stories and build authentic, intimate relationships with fans and followers."
Sounds great, right? There's no catch; Facebook live is free, and it's easy enough to use. However, it's not as intuitive as you might expect. Here are my pointers for getting the most out of this burgeoning video streaming platform:
Make sure you have a compatible device. This may seem like a silly suggestion, but you wouldn't believe how many people try (and fail) to use Facebook Live on a desktop computer. If you have an iOS or Android mobile device (including tablets), you're good to go.
Simply open up your Facebook profile, go to the status field (where you would typically post), and tap the "Live" icon. For people who don't have a compatible device, Facebook has recently published instructions on how to stream Facebook Live using your existing video software or hardware.
Make sure you have a good connection. Sometimes Facebook Live videos don't even get past the first minute because the Internet signal is too weak. If you're signal is especially weak, Facebook will gray out the "Live" button. To avoid this, use a WiFi network with a strong signal. If you don't have that, make sure you at least have a 4G data connection. Facebook recommends checking your Internet speed using the Speedtest app, available in the App Store and Google Play.
Know when you're on the air. Rather than broadcasting on the fly, Facebook recommends building anticipation by giving your audience a day's notice that you'll be going live. You also have the opportunity to write a short description before you go live – always do this! A few catchy words can really grab peoples' attention. You can also set your privacy to public (recommended), friends only, or custom.
When you use Live for the first time, Facebook will ask to access your camera and microphone. Once you're on the air, you'll see a red icon at the top left-hand corner of the video. You'll also see the word "Live" along with a number indicating your current viewers.
Since we're talking about real-time video here, this is not the time to accidentally start streaming before you're ready. Preparation and attention are paramount. This includes making sure your camera is pointing in the right direction; you can change the camera view to "selfie" mode by tapping the rotating arrows icon in the corner of the screen. Note that your videos will always be square, so you don't need to worry about whether your device is placed horizontally or vertically.
Know where and how your video will show up. While you're live, your video will play in your profile and on the News Feeds of all your friends and/or page followers. The post will say something like "Bob Smith is live now" along with the video description. In fact, Facebook Live videos are considered a new content type and are likely to rank higher on News Feeds than videos that are not live.
For people who have recently interacted with you or frequently engage with your page, Facebook will actually notify them that you're live. As users begin watching or leaving your broadcast, you'll see the viewer number in the corner of the video change accordingly.
Remember to interact with your audience. Facebook Live gives you the perfect venue to engage your customers. You'll see their comments coming in reverse chronological order (newest on top) just below your video feed. You'll also get a sense of their reactions when they use emoticons or Facebook's ubiquitous "like" and "love" icons.
Make sure to glance down at the comments section often and respond to every comment live! Always acknowledge your viewers' presence. That means saying hello and addressing specific commenters by name.
Watch the time. Facebook recommends broadcasting for at least 10 minutes to ensure that more people see and share your video. Keep in mind that Facebook Live broadcasts do have a time limit of 90 minutes. If you're planning to broadcast for longer, I suggest keeping an eye on the time elapsed – which will show up on the top left of the video – and warning your viewers that they'll need to switch over to a new broadcast with you.
End on a high note. Don't simply cut off your video at the end of a random sentence. At the end of every live broadcast, finish with a closing line. Say thanks to your viewers for watching, or let them know when you'll be live again. Remind your audience that they can tap on the Follow button on your videos (including the re-plays) if they want Facebook to notify them the next time you're live.
Before you relax, make sure your broadcast has truly ended. Even after you've clicked "Finish," you may have to wait a few seconds before you hear the "ping" indicating you're off the air. So hold that game face just a little longer!
Facebook will give you the option to save your video to your device. I recommend always doing this so that you can easily re-watch and learn from each broadcast. Either way, the video will remain on your profile for people to re-play and comment on. Just like any other post, you can remove the video or edit the description and privacy settings at any time.
Facebook Live has endless possibilities for businesses to market themselves and interact with their customers on a new level. It really is what you make of it. If you practice, broadcast frequently, and get creative, you'll be on your way to success!

Day 3 was errand day in town. Usually it doesn't take me a whole day, but since I haven't been in a couple of weeks, I had a long list. Bleh!
Day 4 was hauling hay day. No better feeling than stocking up for winter. Having to restrain myself somewhat, hay prices are a.w.e.s.o.m.e. this year and I am scooping up hella-good deals!! So good in fact that I am considering buying a few hundred small bales to take to Arizona instead of buying hay down there.
Back to the ponies tomorrow!!

When colourful Italian immigrant Baldo Lucaroni decided to quit his homeland for WA in 1975, he did not expect to be pioneering the grape variety Sagrantino from his native Umbria. He plans to begin planting the old Italian variety on his 800-hectare mixed farm in the Great Southern Porongurup area as soon as the cuttings are released from quarantine and believes his move may lead to a new red wine for WA.
Sagrantino, mainly grown in Montefalco, produces a lively if at times tannic wine that sometimes is blended with sangiovese. But Baldo will have none of that. He reckons his Porongurup plateau, a cool 300m above sea level, will produce a dry red that many will enjoy. That assessment is based on 20 years of experience in the US as export director for his uncle's Umbrian wine, Lungarotti.
Previously, the 61-year-old who studies Latin, ancient Greek, philosophy and law, grew and made wines for his family, learning from his grandfather. He chose WA because of the cleaner environment, much smaller population and cheaper land, planting sangiovese and nebbiolo as well. Each will be a different varietal, "Personally, in Australia, I believe the
grapes are harvested too late," he says "The result is too much sugar and extremely high alcohol and low acidity. I believe in good barrels of acidity and sugar, rather than the other way around. You can acid adjust as much as you like but it is not the same.
"I think here in the Porongurup, we can get much closer to the Italian style yet still have a distinctive Australian wine that is not quite as tannic. It should be ideal with Italian food."

The BBC has released a 'fix' for the iPlayer that stops the 'unrestricted downloading' of streamed TV programmes. It prevents the workaround that allowed people to download programmes DRM free.
The roll-out of the iPlayer for the iPhone created a straightforward loophole that could be exploited to get unprotected MP4s of BBC programmes - a story that TechRadar broke on Tuesday, and has now hit the broadsheets.
Although the BBC's immediate response was to insist that the iPlayer was still in beta and it expected the problems, many commentators suggested that it needed to move swiftly to ensure that its charter was not broken.
A statement from a BBC spokesperson said: "We've released a fix to prevent unrestricted downloading of streamed TV programmes on BBC iPlayer.
"Like other broadcasters, the security of rights-protected content online is an issue we take very seriously. It's an ongoing, constant process and one which we will continue to monitor."

December 2008 – Peter Hill
December 2008 – Peter Hill, then Staff Member for the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative
Heather Mannix: The election is over and President-Elect Barack Obama is putting together his new Administration. What does this change in Administration mean for the ocean community?
PH: There is a lot of excitement in the ocean community surrounding the opportunities that many believe will result from the change in Administration. There is clearly a much greater focus on environmental issues, including a growing awareness of the importance of oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes. More importantly, the role of the environment is being tied directly to economic issues, such as energy policy and efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Given the current state of the economy, reinforcing the link between oceans and the economy will continue to be important.
HM: What issues will drive the new Administration and where will oceans fit into this agenda?
PH: Clearly the new Administration will focus much of its attention and resources on addressing the economic crisis facing the nation, which is a priority no one will dispute. Thankfully, they are taking a very big-picture approach, looking for opportunities to stimulate the economy in ways that not only provide short-term benefits in terms of jobs, but will also lay the foundation for transitioning to a new economy. For the ocean science and management community this will hopefully result in the development of a new ocean science infrastructure that will become a pipeline for new information and products being sought by policymakers at all levels of government as they attempt to deal with climate change and the transition to clean energy.
HM: That sounds really promising. Will any changes be necessary in the ocean community to adapt to the new Administration?
PH: Perhaps the greatest change and challenge for the ocean community is the need to take a much broader approach to identifying and pursuing our priorities. One of the biggest problems the community faces is the diversity of competing interest ranging across the sciences –biological, chemical, geological, physical, social– and the management and education sectors. This competition is exacerbated by the inability and to identify a common set of priorities. The Joint Ocean Commission Initiative, building upon the recommendations of the reports issued by the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy and Pew Oceans Commission, has been working to build consensus in the ocean community. While we've made some progress, I believe that a new opportunity exists with the new Administration's focus on energy and climate issues. The oceans and coasts clearly have important roles to play in our efforts to address these national priorities, and they can provide a springboard to elevate even greater awareness of ocean issues in general.
HM: So, on a more specific level, what roles will CoML and marine biodiversity play in this new political environment?
PH: It is difficult to anticipate how individual programs will be incorporated into the new political regime. However, I believe that CoML is well positioned to continue its role as a major element in the effort to establish the baseline from which the nation and the global community can measure the effectiveness of new policies. Increasing ocean temperature and acidity will clearly have profound impacts on marine ecosystems and living marine resources. Monitoring these changes and anticipating the long-term impacts of profound shifts in ocean and coastal processes should be one of the key drivers of energy and climate policy. In fact, the foresight of CoML founders is impressive, since the biological record that it has accumulated over the past eight or so years is now being brought to bear in the effort to understand the implications of climate change.
HM: The Joint Ocean Commission Initiative publishes a "report card" each year that grades the government on the past year's ocean policy performance. Last year's report (for 2007) was pretty dismal. Looking backwards, can we get a "sneak peak" at what the report card for 2008 will look like this year?
PH: It is a work in progress and we anticipate releasing it later this spring along with an updated set of recommendations for the Administration and Congress. Unfortunately, the past year did not result in major action in many of the categories evaluated annually by the Joint Initiative. No funding bills were passed, the Law of the Sea Convention didn't get out of the Senate, and virtually no federal ocean-related legislation was passed by Congress. However, we did see continued and expanded effort at the state and regional level, which has been the bright spot over the past few years. Again, the bright spot, if there is one, is growing recognition of the role ocean play in climate change and the importance of enhancing our understanding of ocean processes and ecosystem as part of the broader national effort to mitigate and respond to the impacts that are accompanying this change.
HM: In order to keep this momentum going on the awareness of the ocean's role in climate change, we'll need a leader. Who, or what agencies, do you think will be the leader(s) driving ocean issues forward in the next Administration and Congress?
PH: NOAA must continue helping guide this process, but it will be imperative for the other departments and agencies that play key roles in ocean science and policy –such as NASA, DOI, Navy, the Army Corps of Engineers, EPA, even USDA and DOE– to elevate their leadership on these issues. The demands and needs associated with oceans, coasts and Great Lakes are much too broad to house under a single roof. Thus, it is good to see the Obama Administration establish an office within the White House charged with coordinating interagency activity on environment and energy, to be lead by Carol Browner. The need for collaboration and integration has never been more important, but the real issue will be coordinating agency budgets to meet the new policy priorities.
As for Congress, there are new opportunities on both sides of the Hill and in both parties for new leadership as there have been several changes with Members of Congress that have typically been advocates for ocean policy. For example, the loss of Senator Stevens, and Senator Inouye's new role as Chairman of Senate Appropriations Committee, has major implications for the Senate Commerce Committee. Senator Rockefeller's new role as the Chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, and Representative Hasting's elevation to the Ranking Member on the House Resources Committee, are major changes and it is unclear how this will impact the community. These changes are part of a broader transition we are experiencing and it is important for members of the ocean community to redouble their efforts to reach out to their Senators and Member of Congress to educate them on the importance of oceans to both the economy and ecosystem.
HM: So, with everything that's been going on with the Joint Initiative over the past few years, and here in Washington in the last few months, what is it that you're striving for?
PH: To become half the man my dog thinks I am. While that may be an unrealistic goal, establishing greater coordination and collaboration among the many interests in the ocean community is within reach.

First of all, welcome to the site royaljerry -mouser (May 30, 2011, 03:02 AM)
Second, i think this is a great idea.-mouser (May 30, 2011, 03:02 AM)
Third, there are some tools for this already, though I am not very familiar with them. And there has been some discussion of this idea on the forum before -- I'll try to find if others don't.-mouser (May 30, 2011, 03:02 AM)
One place you see such tools is in some of the ruby-on-rails style web applications. They are different from what you are interested in, but some of them use a generic template/folder/project building system.-mouser (May 30, 2011, 03:02 AM)
Fourth, i do think python is actually a good choice for such a tool; it can support a gui and has nice easy file management stuff, and can easily be extended to do additional things. Autohotkey could also do it fine on windows.-mouser (May 30, 2011, 03:02 AM)
Gonna have a look on them, I promise. Though I'm familiar with PHP and Python, RoR is not my ground, but if it'd solve the problem, then let's go.

WESTON, Mass. – The Regis (Mass.) softball team went in search of its first league win but was unable to find it, falling 5-2 and 2-1 in a doubleheader sweep to Mount Ida, Saturday in Great Northeast Athletic Conference action at Regis Field.
Game one saw Madi McLellan (4-11) (Fremont, N.H.) get tagged with the loss for the Pride (4-14, 0-10 GNAC), tossing a complete game striking out eight and giving up just two earned runs. Carrigan Costello (4-7) (Wolcott, Conn.) earned the win, allowing two runs on six Regis hits in seven complete innings.
Haley Microulis (Pawtucket, R.I.) had two hits, two runs and two RBI to lead the Mustangs (11-14, 6-6 GNAC) who were aided by three Regis errors. Microulis got Mount Ida on the board first with a run scoring double in the second inning then tripled in the fifth inning to put the Mustangs up 5-2 after their half of the fifth inning.
The two-run fifth by Mount Ida came after the Pride worked itself back into the game two innings earlier. Regis put a pair runs on the board in the third when Ellery Rasmussen's (Kingston, N.H.) two-run double drove home Kelsey Grimard (Pelham, N.H.) and Kayla Pieta (Middletown, Conn.) to cut the lead to 3-2.
Rasmussen would finish the game with a two-run, two-RBI performance. Pieta added a hit and a run scored for the Pride with Caitlin Hogan (Derry, N.H.) adding one hit, two runs and one RBI for Mount Ida.
Game two again saw Mount Ida strike first when Hogan scored after doubling to right centerfield to put the Mustangs up 1-0 after one-half an inning. The Pride would respond in the second inning on Emma Kelly's (Lynnfield, Mass.) two-out run scoring single to tie up the game.
Both pitchers would settle in until Shelby Nolan's (Ansonia, Conn.) RBI hit drove home Hogan from second to put the Mustangs up 2-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning.
Regis threatened in the bottom of the seventh when a pair of back-to-back two-out hits from Michaela Marum (Somerset, Mass.) and Grimard put the Pride in business. The threat ended though when Allie Petillo (West Sayville, N.Y.) grounded out to second and the Mustangs walked away with the doubleheader sweep.
McLellan was tagged with her second loss of the afternoon in a solid effort in the circle, allowing two runs on six hits with six strikeouts. Madeleine Smith (5-6) (San Diego, Calif.) gave up one run on four hits to earn the win.
The Pride will look to rebound Sunday with a doubleheader at Emmanuel. Mount Ida retakes the field Tuesday, Apr. 17 with a non-conference visit to Wentworth.

Nobody really knows if this is real beef or not, but Drake and his ex-stripper gilrfriend Maliah Michele seem to have had an argument over Twitter recently. Drake recently tweeted:
Drake didn't say who it was towards, but Maliah Michele was quick to write back, taking it as it was a jab her way.
Then Drake tweeted:
Soon into the Twitter beef, Maliah fan's told her to stop beefing and get over it, which she replied,
"idk y its just show business." She followed that reply with, "Lmao y y'all think that is the only man in my life it was 2 years ago. Please no more talk about him. Find me someone else. Who will appreciate me."
We hate all the subliminal tweeting these celebs do!

Organic Slug Traps
...If you are big on organic gardening, a simple grapefruit rind works well. Use grapefruits that you have cut in half and scooped the flesh out of. Place the traps around your yard and garden wherever there is slug damage, then let them sit overnight. When they are done with their nightly feast, the slugs will retreat underneath the moist rinds. All you have to do is pick the rinds up in the morning, throw the slugs into soapy water...
Please Share. Thank you!

Vettel tops time-sheets as Hamilton struggles in final practice for Hungarian GP
Championship leader Lewis Hamilton was left trailing in final practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix as Sebastian Vettel topped the time-sheets.
Hamilton, who is 17 points clear of Vettel, spun on his hot lap, and finished fourth, half a second slower than his Ferrari rival.
Hamilton lost control of his Mercedes under braking for turn six of the Hungaroring circuit in what has so far been a scruffy weekend for the Englishman.
Lewis Hamilton was left with work to do in final qualifying
Valtteri Bottas, in the sister Mercedes, also came unstuck at the chicane after spinning 180 degrees before making light contract with the barriers.
The Finn was given the all-clear to continue by his Mercedes team, and finished the one-hour running within six hundredths of Vettel's best time.
Kimi Raikkonen was third, 0.203 seconds adrift of his Ferrari team-mate.
Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen finished fifth and sixth for Red Bull.
Fernando Alonso was 14th for McLaren, 2.3 seconds off the pace, while his team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne placed 17th of the 20 runners.

Published at Friday, January 25th, 2019 - 05:52:12 AM. Living Room. By Clotilda Keller.
Tropical Style brings in the outdoor color pallets. The lush greens and yellows of natural flora are just two of most common colors you can find in a tropical living room design idea. Choose colors that are found naturally like the color of trees, plants, flowers and fruits. Think of a tropical forest or a market full of tropical fruits to inspire your design.
This is where you need not go minimalistic at all. Get a large TV screen, the larger the better, not so large that it grabs all the attention though. There is nothing like enjoying a sports match or watching a movie with friends and family on your television screen in your living room. Make sure the screen is placed at n appropriate distance from the seating furniture; it should be neither too near nor too far. Do not let your imagination go wild and keep the wall simple on which the TV screen is mounted.

text: Aircraft Engines The Packard V-1650 Merlin was a version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine, produced under licence in the United States by the Packard Motor Car Company.[1] The engine was licensed in order to provide a 1,500 hp (1,100 kW; 1,500 PS)-class design at a time when U.S. engines of this rating were not considered ready for use even after years of development. The first V-1650s, with a simple one-stage supercharger, were used in the P-40F Kittyhawk fighter and in Canadian built Hawker Hurricanes. Later versions included a much more advanced two-stage supercharger for greatly improved performance at high altitudes. It found its most famous application in the North American P-51 Mustang fighter, where it vastly improved that aircraft's performance at altitude, transforming the Mustang into an outstanding fighter with the range and performance to escort Allied heavy bombers over the European continent, most notably to Berlin and back.

Cheese Types/Classifications
Uncooked and essentially unripened cheese. These have the shortest of shelf lives. Some examples are cream cheese, cottage cheese, ricotta, mascarpone, and some goat cheeses.
Pasta Filata
Cheeses of this style are created by immersing the curds in hot water and molding these curds into various shapes and sizes, achieving a desired consistency. Prime examples include mozzarella and provolone.
Soft Ripened and Bloomy Rind
Theses cheeses ripen from the outside in and sport a white bloom of a rind. The most popular varieties include Brie and Camembert. Other examples include Gratte Paille and Pierre Robert.
Washed Rind
During the ripening process the cheeses are rubbed or washed with brine (salt water), wine, brandy or other alcohol that gives the cheese a distinctive flavor and aroma. Examples include Livarot, Epoisses, and Pont l'Eveque.
Inoculated with Penicillium Roqueforti in the vat, these cheeses are then pierced to allow oxygen to penetrate within the cheese to develop even blue veining throughout. This process results in the familiar blue/green veining, and that distinctive bold flavor. Examples include Roquefort, Stilton, Bayley Hazen, and Bleu des Basques.
Uncooked and Pressed
These curds have not been heated but are pressed to expel the whey and create a particular texture. Examples are English Cheddar, Morbier, Tomme de Savoie, and Manchego.
Cooked and Pressed
These curds are heated to a specific temperature before pressing to achieve a smoother, creamier texture and flavor. Examples are Gouda, Cantal, Gruyere, Reggiano Parmesan, Appenzeller, and Emmental.
Actually made from real cheese, along with emulsifiers, gums, salts, oils, flavors and stabilizers. It is a consistent product with a long shelf life and a very smooth texture. Velveeta would be the most obvious example.
Cheese care
Rotation and Storage
First, pay attention to the airflow in your walk-in cooler or refrigerator. Where are the blowers located? All cryovac and plastic wrapped items (ie – tightly packaged items) should go closest to the direct airflow, on the upper shelves. Cheese that is wrapped in paper or packaged in cardboard boxes should go on the lower shelves, safely away from direct airflow. This will help keep these cheeses from drying out, and thus avoid the rinds of these cheeses from cracking.
Second, remember to turn your cheeses (right side up- to- upside down and vice versa) on a regular basis. Quite simply, it's a gravity thing. By turning your cheeses on a regular basis, you will ensure that the moisture contained within the cheese does not concentrate at one side and is instead evenly distributed throughout the cheese.
By monitoring these two issues you will consistently have hearty and consistently merchandisable cheeses.
Rotation and Storage
Remember that cheese is a living, breathing product. Specialty cheeses in particular will not always look "picture perfect." This is what makes them so different from commodity cheeses. What you give up in terms of uniformity, you more than make back in having a cheese that offers superior and unique flavor. Moderate changes in temperature and the natural movement of water within a specialty cheese can help lead to great variations from wheel to wheel.
Quite often, specialty cheeses will arrive in need of attention and care from the retailer before it is to be sold at the counter. At the retail level, make sure to open the box and inspect your cheese. If there happens to be some mold that is not a natural part of the cheese, lightly brush it off with your hand or a small brush. Smell the cheese – are there any off odors? Inspect the rind for cracking, or excessive moisture. If a cheese is wrapped in plastic, often moisture will collect at the base of the cheese. Open and drain off any and all liquid, dry it with a paper towel, and let the product sit for 15 minutes or so. Then re-wrap the cheese in the appropriate packaging material until it is ready to be sold at your counter.Consider the above points when you receive and merchandise your specialty cheese. Do not hesitate to ask your Zuercher & Co. representative for more information.

In this article we will discuss the differences between the clean and press and the clean and jerk, two important movements for muscular, strength, and athletic development. In the below sections, we will break down both the clean and press and clean and jerk, and offer coaches and athletes five factors to consider when deciding which movement to include into a training program.
Clean and Press
In previous articles we have covered the clean and press extensively, discussing common variations and benefits (kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells, etc). In the below videos the barbell clean and press (in this case the push press) is performed. Additionally, the single arm dumbbell "Circus" press is also demonstrated below.
Clean and Jerk
The clean and jerk is performed very similar to the clean and press, with the exception of the later stages of the movement. In the clean and jerk, the lifter jerks the load overhead, rather than either strict pressing or push pressing. In the below videos, the barbell clean and jerk and the dumbbell clean and jerk are demonstrated. Note, that the clean phase of this movement is nearly identical to the clean phase in the clean and press.
Clean and Press vs Clean and Jerk
Given that both movements include a clean, which is performed identically in both movements (relative to the equipment used), the key difference is the technique used to lift the load from the shoulder to the overhead position (press vs jerk). In the below section, we will specifically discuss the difference between the techniques used (strict/push press and all jerk variations).
Degree of Difficulty
Aside from the clean aspect of both movement, the jerk requires more technique, timing, and coordination to perform explosively. The progression of jerk includes both the strict press and the push press. Therefore to properly perform a jerk one must learn and master the press.
Strength and Hypertrophy
Both the clean and press and the clean and jerk allow a lifter to move large amounts of weight, which can be one stimulus for muscular growth and strength development. When we look deeper however, at the later stages of both movements, the press does require more concentric strength due to limiting lower body involvement. Additionally, the press is a movement that has slower speeds, often increasing the time under muscular tension which can also lead to increased muscle growth (which is why athletes who primarily jerk loads overhead, such as weightlifters, add strict presses and push presses to their accessory hypertrophy programs.
Maximal Lifting Abilities
While both movements (clean and press and clean and jerk) enable a lifter to move large amounts of loading in a complex, total body movement, the clean and jerk typically allows for a great amount of load moved from the floor to the overhead position (aside from some strength lifts, such as on strongman training). If an athlete has acquired the skill of jerking a load overhead, he/she may find that method to be a more efficient way to place the barbell overhead in the locked out position.
Power Outputs
The clean and press and the clean and jerk both can be used for power development. Push pressing and jerking loads overhead both utilize powerful hip and knee extensions, which has been correlated with vertical jumping abilities and power hip extension abilities.
Application to Sport
Depending on the sport (weightlifting, CrossFit, strongman) an athlete must decide which movement is best for overhead strength and efficiency. Generally speaking, the jerk will be the most efficient way to move a bar from the front of the shoulders to the overhead position, as it allows the individual to use their legs to drive the weight upwards to the supported overhead, locked-out position. In some sports however, a lifter may choose to press the load overhead, based on preference or due to the odd shape of an object (such as the log clean and press).
Shoulder Strength and Hypertrophy
Take a look at the below exercises and guides to maximize your shoulder health and performance!

The Cowgirl in Question(2004)
(The first book in the McCalls' Montana series)
A novel by B J Daniels
The wildest of the McCall boys was back...and he had a score to settle with Cassidy Miller! Like two outlaws facing off at high noon, they reunited at the Longhorn Cafe for the whole town to witness the long-awaited showdown. Rourke McCall had been fantasizing about this moment for more than a decade--except he hadn't counted on Cassidy growing up and growing into a woman. That one high-school kiss suddenly hit him like a shotgun recoiling. But he couldn't let his emerging desire for Cassidy deter his search for a killer, who by all accounts was still at large in Antelope Flats and equally determined to destroy Rourke...and anyone close to him.

Samsung has created four unique experience zones across 11 partner retail locations in Singapore as part of its Galaxy S8 nationwide launch. Titled "Galaxy Plus", the campaign was conceptualised and produced by Cheil Worldwide, and will run for three months until the end of August.
In a statement to Marketing, Samsung's spokesperson said the company will primarily be using print, out-of-home and social channels to promote the Galaxy S8, in addition to "Galaxy Plus". The campaign's objective is to show how the Galaxy S8 and its ecosystem allows Millennials to explore experiences that was previously not possible.
Each "Galaxy Plus" zone is specially designed and created to showcase the characteristics and benefits of a particular Galaxy S8 feature or companion product.
1. #throwback360 – The nation's first 360° photo booth, designed to recreate nostalgic memories of growing up in Singapore with the Gear 360 (2017) camera.
2. VRcade – A VR gaming area featuring the new Gear VR with Controller, where shoppers immerse themselves in Singapore's first nationwide VR game tournament.
3. DeXspace – A multi-media zone that brings to life the DeX Station: a dock that allows the Galaxy S8 to connect to a bigger screen so it can be used just like a desktop.
4. Samsung Pay – A zone that is a cross between a Lego play area and an old-school game arcade. It lets shoppers experience the secure way to pay with Samsung Pay, and earn virtual tokens for a chance to win their very own Lego figurine from a classic claw machine.
The four zones also feature prominent social media influencers – Andrea Chong (#throwback360), Jessica Tham (DeXspace) and Eden Ang (VRcade) – who will host monthly activities for families with prizes to be won.
"'Galaxy Plus' was borne out of a desire to let millennials experience the Galaxy S8 product ecosystem for themselves in the most relevant ways," said Eugene Goh, VP, Mobile & IT, Samsung Singapore. "So they see firsthand just how the S8 truly unboxes the passions they care about, in an in-store idea that goes far beyond traditional advertising."

Watford have activated a clause in their agreement with Saracens which could mean the rugby union club leave Vicarage Road next year.
Saracens have been playing their home matches at the Hornets' ground since 1997 and the current arrangement between the clubs was due to have run until 2017. But Watford have implemented a break clause as they want to find "a new long-term solution to their lease agreement".
"The action we've taken means that Saracens would leave Vicarage Road Stadium on 1 June 2011," said Watford's chief executive officer Julian Winter.
"However, the football club has also agreed to a three-month period of extended negotiation to enable Saracens time to decide upon their preferred future home, one of which could still be Vicarage Road."
A statement read: "Watford Football Club remains hopeful that both parties can negotiate a new lease which sees Saracens become a partner in the improvement of the Vicarage Road facilities and pitch."

Water is the single most important substance to mankind: it makes up 70% of our bodies, we drink it in order to survive, and use it to nurture the crops we eat. Fresh water is becoming a scarce resource and some parts of the world are feeling the shortage more than others.
The wealthy are willing to spend incredible amounts of money for water that has been extracted from exotic locations and dressed up by luxury lifestyle brands that promise the ultimate healthy beverage. There are even enthusiasts that enjoy water tastings, pairing it with food and examining its complexities as if it were a fine wine.
Beverage companies make billions of dollars by rebranding this essential liquid and yet the water itself is actually one of the cheapest parts of the final product, usually costing only a few cents or less. After the cost of packaging, shipping, and marketing, companies are usually left with a healthy 30% profit margin, and the average markup of water when bottled is 4,000%. We spend at least 10,000 times more on the packaged stuff than we would if we were to drink it straight from the tap. These luxury brands are among the most lavish in the world with shocking profit margins to match.
10 10. Fiji - $3
Chances are you've seen or purchased this popular, tropical brand. It has caused controversy for it's illusive but strong branding and market presence, as well as the impact on the local source in Fiji. The company even offers a subscription plan, so you can conveniently ship cases of untouched island water to your home and work. Starting at a relatively low price on the list, this company makes a strong $0.90 profit per bottle.
This sleek and iconic glass bottle is usually spotted at upscale restaurants and flashy nightclubs. The Norwegian water is branded to be simple, timeless, elegant, and for the most selective of consumers. Ironically, it's not sourced from the Voss region, but is available for sale all around the world, making it a relatively accessible luxury. Enough people seem to think so at least, and VOSS makes about $1.20 per bottle.
8 8. Limited Edition Evian - $7
Do you ever find yourself at an elegant event, longing for a special water to really tie the whole evening together? Well you're in luck, because Evian has partnered with famous artists throughout the years to bring you exclusive lines of water hailing from the French Alps just for your special occasions. For a profit of just $2.10 per bottle, you can drink from a perfume-influenced-water-bottle thought up by the likes of high fashion icons like Christian Lacroix and Diane von Furstenberg.
7 7. Tasmanian Rain - $10
This brand sets itself apart by offering water not out of a far-away spring or towering mountain, but right from the sky. They collect only the freshest rain from one of the most remote parts of the world and purify it into a smooth, stylish package. Their unique proposition is that the water hasn't even ever touched the ground, making it the purest of the pure. At this price, the company enjoys $3 profit per bottle.
6 6. Aquadeco - $12
The award winning bottle design resembles a Hollywood award trophy and contains water pulled from mysterious but apparently pristine, ancient Canadian sources. The country is known for icy mountains and icy everything for that matter, so the stunning glacier is the perfect image to front the chiseled bottle. Perhaps you will keep the bottle after as a decoration on your shelf as a reminder that you just handed the company $3.60 for water.
5 5. 10 Thousand BC - $14
Another company based in the icy North, this one is named not for its ancient history but for its location on the West Coast. The water is gathered from river rapids that are said to take a three-day return trip to venture to. Made to look icy cold, the frosted wine bottle design fits in perfectly at the Sundance Film Festival and Toronto Fashion Week. The journey must be a great one, because the company pockets about $4.20 per bottle.
4 4. Veen - $23
Bold and sexy, Veen offers water from both Finnish Lapland and the Himalayas. With Velvet water, it's no wonder they were voted the best water to have with wine by Fine Wine Magazine. I don't know how you could cleanse your pallet with anything less! In case you were wondering, its rare balance is also used to brew tea by the most exclusive chefs from around the globe. You can cook with it too for a cool $6.90 profit per bottle.
3 3. Bling H2O – $40
Perhaps one of the shiniest on the list, Bling H20 is often seen in the hands of celebrities and socialites. Adorned with shiny crystals and seen in all the right places, it's kind of like the Las Vegas of bottled water. With all that sparkle, it's easy to forget about the water that's sourced in the Tennessee Great Smokey Mountains. At the profit they earn of $12 per bottle, you can think of it as investing into a reusable accessory.
2 2. Fillico - $275
Not to be outdone by Bling H2O, Fillico features jewelry water and customizable pieces made with "Swarovski elements". Bottles come in all different collections and colors, but each one shares their prominent, slender glass shape. This Japanese luxury brand features traditional wrapping options and other bottle accessories to make Fillico the ultimate high-end gift. If you are interested, you can check out their showroom or visit a local dealer. This brand earns about $82.50 per bottle.
1 1. Kona Deep – $400
In contrast to the flashy options on the list, Kona Deep positions itself as the supreme natural refreshment. Straight from the depths of the Hawaiian coast, the 1,000-year-old glacial water has travelled all through the global ocean conveyor belt to be enjoyed for a premium by health seekers around the world. They extract most of the salt, leaving a nutrient-rich, organic elixir. The company advertises their unlimited supply, which is great, because many are willing to fork over the $120 profit per bottle to enjoy this rare delight.

A new study shows that drivers in Montana and across the nation benefit more than initially suspected from automatic emergency braking systems. Researchers from the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety conducted the study, and they looked at 10 different models of General Motors vehicles from 2013 to 2015 that were equipped with an automatic braking system. The study included both small and large cars, mid-sized vehicles and full-sized SUVs.
Car crashes decreased in vehicles with emergency braking system
How safe is your Montana railroad job?
Many Montana workers have come from long lines of ancestry where parents, grand-parents and perhaps even great grand-parents have given service to the transcontinental railroads that helped industrialize the United States. You may consider your railroad job both rewarding and challenging. Whether you are an engineer, conductor or work on a line maintenance crew, you may relate to many railroad employees who say they have loved trains since childhood and are happy earning their livings on the tracks.
Accident risks increase with each hour of lost sleep
Most Montana residents are aware that driving when sleep-deprived can be just as dangerous as doing so when impaired by alcohol, but studies suggest that knowledge alone is not enough to prevent them from engaging in this dangerous behavior. Fatigue is thought to be a factor in about 16 percent of all fatal crashes, which is concerning for road safety advocates because Department of Transportation figures suggest that one in three American motorists get less than the recommended seven hours of sleep each night.

- Abstract:
- Bacterial biofilms on permanent catheters are the major sources of infection. Exposure to ultraviolet-C (UVC) light has been proposed as a method for disinfecting the inner surface of catheters. Specification of a UVC-based device for in vivo disinfection is based on the knowledge of the required doses to kill catheter biofilm. Given these doses and the power of available UVC light sources, calculation of the necessary treatment times is then possible. To determine the required doses, contaminated urinary catheters were used as test samples and UVC treated in vitro. Patient catheters (n = 67) were collected and cut into segments of equal size and treated with various UVC doses. After treatment, the biofilm was removed by scraping and quantified by counting colony forming units. Percentage killing rates were determined by calculating ratios between UVC-treated samples and controls (no UVC treatment). Mean killing rates were 89.6% (0.5 min), 98% (2 min), and 99% (60 min). Approximately 99% killing was obtained with a UVC dose of 15 kJ m(-2). This dose, which is about 100 to 1000 times greater than the lethal dose for planktonic cells, is expected to be the maximum dose required to maintain newly inserted catheters free of contamination. The combination of high doses required to kill mature biofilm and the limited effect of current UVC light sources result in a relative long treatment time (similar to 60 min). If a UVC-based method is to be of practical use for disinfection of catheters in the clinic, repeated preventive treatments should be carried out on newly inserted catheters.

Linas Sabaliauskas, CEO of Achemos Grupė, which pays around a fourth of the terminal's maintenance costs, has doubts as to how much the LNG terminal has actually contributed to a decline in gas prices in Lithuania, saying that not all of the goals set for the project have been reached.
"It's probably impossible to say unambiguously if the FSRU had an impact on gas prices in Lithuania. There are many components at play here," Sabaliauskas said at a discussion on ensuring long-term LNG supplies hosted by the Seimas on Monday.
"The goal was to avoid dependence on the sole supplier and (to avoid) unregulated gas prices and energy dependence. The result is that energy independence has been achieved, but we say that gas prices remain high," he said.
Sabaliauskas thinks that a separate line should be created in the state budget to finance "strategic and security facilities".
Juozas Augutis, head of the Energy Security Research Centre, says that a decision to stop using the terminal after the FSRU lease contract ends would mean a step backwards.
"We can't even think about halting (the terminal) or selling the vessel. If we lost the terminal, we'd go back to the position we were in," he said.
Saulius Bilys, CEO of Lithuania's natural gas transmission system operator Amber Grid, says that gas consumption is on the decline, but the role of gas is changing, for example, in energy.
"We see a decrease in gas consumption. It has stabilized in Lithuania and is stable in Latvia, too, depending on the weather. Things are more or less stable in Estonia. (...) The main reason is falling consumption in the energy sector. (...) The gas sector is already playing a new role now as a balancing and price-fixing sector for the electricity sector. Gas will become an integral part of green energy," he said during the discussion.
Klaipėdos Nafta CEO Mindaugas Jusius says that the LNG terminal's operator seeks to reduce the terminal's costs for gas consumers.
Looking ahead, purchasing the FSRU could bring more benefits than its continued lease, the CEO said.
"The acquisition of the vessel would give Lithuania more flexibility about its use. The vessel could as well serve as a cargo ship in case there's no need for importing gas from the global market," Jusius said.
"If the situation changed so that the value created by the terminal were lower than its maintained costs, it could be sold," he added.
A study by the international consultancy Poyry Management Consulting has found that Lithuania would benefit most from purchasing the FSRU, named Independence, after expiry of the lease contract with Norway's Hoegh LNG in 2024.
The country would receive a somewhat lower benefit if it extended the lease for another 20 years.
Estimates of the FSRU purchase price range between 121 million and 160 million euros, but the exact price set in the contract with the Norwegian company is confidential.

Presentation by Christian Nold.
19h Terça dia 4 – Junho.
In the name of empowering citizens, companies and governments are building technologies designed to crowdsource their experience & labour for data gathering. What kinds of material practices emerge when people and issues are addressed in this way? Is it possible to transform these processes and create assemblages that deal with power relationships? Can new social movements emerge from institutionalised concepts like Citizen Science? This talk proposes that we need to study the material practice of case studies to see what is going on.

text: To be "one" with the movements of a choreography. To give all of oneself to fulfill them. Often something expected of a dancer. It's a step beyond only performing things technically correct. To fully dedicate oneself to movement is like an idea. An overall mindset, that lies on a more abstract level than doing things right.

Post-conference excursion to the Central Vistula Valley (Natura 2000 area).
Date: Monday, 25 March 2019 at 10:00-16:00 hrs.
We are pleased to invite you to the excursion to the Warsaw section of Vistula valley - an outstanding natural area. Warsaw is the only capital in Europe with the natural, unregulated river, protected within a Natura 2000 site, flowing through it. The river banks and its islands are essential breeding habitats for many rare bird species related to the alluvial forests and unstable sandy islands. The Vistula is also an important migratory corridor for birds such as ducks, swans, osprey, seagulls, cormorants, terns and waders as well as many passerine species. It is also a wintering place for various species of ducks, gulls and white-tailed sea eagles, which can be even seen in the city center during the winter. At that time of the year we would be able to spot many bird species belonging to all of the abovementioned groups. The natural character of the riverbed allowed for the preservation of patches of nearly natural alluvial forests. However, until recently most of the valley was covered with semi-natural meadows and pastures, many of high natural value. The abandonment of the traditional management allowed for the comeback of the forest but on the other hand, it facilitated the invasive species encroachment, such as American goldenrod. During the trip, therer will be the opportunity to see the place where Vistula river meadow restoration project took place in 2014-2016 and see if it was successful in suppressing alien, invasive plant species and increasing the biodiversity of the floodplain grasslands.
Excursion led by:
dr hab. Przemysław Chylarecki, prof PAS
An ornithologist from Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences, whose main research interests particularly focus on functioning of river valley ecosystems, especially breeding biology of waders, and ecology of forests. He is an expert providing scientific background for nature conservation. (tbc)
dr Łukasz Kozub
a botanist from Department of Plant Ecology and Nature Conservation, University of Warsaw, whose main research interests focus on the ecology of wetlands, especially peatlands, and on the restoration of non-forest ecosystems. He is actively involved in many nature conservation projects.
The important details regarding the post-conference excursion on Monday 25th of March:
- Starting point: in front of CNBCh building (on the side of the Faculty of Biology building, Żwirki i Wigury 101) at 9.50. Please do not be late as we have to take a bus 187 from the bus stop Pomnik Lotnika at 10.12
- Remember to have tickets for Warsaw public transport. We would travel with two busses both ways so, if you do not have long-term tickets, you would need at least two 75 min tickets.
- Our destination is the Vistula river floodplain in Wilanów district in the south of Warsaw, where we would see the site where floodplain meadows have been restored after they were invaded by alien Solidago and at the same time we would try to spot some bird species related with floodplain meadows, alluvial forests and Vistula riverbed, which are protected within a Natura 2000 site Dolina Środkowej Wisły PLB 140004.
- In the field we would spend about three hours, which means that including one-hour bus travel one way we would be back around 16.
- Remember to take with you a raincoat (it might be cool with some showers), water and some food for lunch. We advise to have outdoor shoes as the ground could be wet and muddy.
- If you would like to, we advise you to take with we you binoculars for birdwatching. We would organise some for those who do not have their own but the amount could be insufficient. If you have any additional questions do not hesitate to ask the organisers.
R Workshop
Date: Monday, 25 March 2019 at 17:00-20:00 hrs.
In the workshop we will exercise a very simple example of a typical data analysis workflow according to the scheme: import, tidy, transform, visualise, model, using basic concepts of dplyr, data.table and ggplot2 packages. Please bring your own laptop. Number of participants is limited.

Polish Ecological Society (PTEkol)
The first communication on the ECHO Conference, included information on a planned General Meeting of the Polish Ecological Society. This information was formally incorrect, we apologise for this. In fact, using the occasion of the conference, we are planning to organise an organisational meeting dedicated to a re-activation of the society. Polish Ecological Society (Polskie Towarzystwo Ekologiczne, PTEkol) was established in 1993 and was active during the following 20 years. After this period the society's activity was, however, discontinued, which resulted in a formal removal of the Society from State registers in 2018. The undersigned represent a group of Polish ecology scholars, including members of the last Board of PTEkol and young scientists - organisers of the ECHO conference. Our initial consultations indicated that there is a need to re-activate the Society, which should again serve as the main forum for exchanging scientific ideas among Polish ecologists, facilitate contacts with foreign scientists and become a source of scientific opinions and initiatives related to a broadly-understood field of ecology. The organisational meeting will be carried out just after the ECHO conference and will be soon announced in a separate communication.
Prof dr hab. Andrzej Nienartowicz (Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection) – in the name of the last Board of PTEkol,
Dr hab. Wiktor Kotowski (University of Warsaw, Faculty of Biology) – in the name of the Scientific Committee of the conference ECHO - Ecology in the Changing World.
Polskie Towarzystwo Ekologiczne (PTEkol)
Szanowni Państwo,
W pierwszym komunikacie dotyczącym konferencji ECHO znalazła się informacja o planie zorganizowania w czasie konferencji Walnego Zgromadzenia Polskiego Towarzystwa Ekologicznego. Informacja ta, z formalnego punktu widzenia, była błędna, za co serdecznie przepraszamy. W rzeczywistości, planowane jest zorganizowanie spotkania organizacyjnego dotyczącego reaktywacji ww. Stowarzyszenia. Polskie Towarzystwo Ekologiczne (PTEkol) zostało utworzone w 1993 roku i czynnie funkcjonowało przez kolejne 20 lat. Po tym okresie jednak działalność Stowarzyszenia została zawieszona, co doprowadziło do formalnego usunięcia go z krajowego rejestru w 2018 roku. Niżej podpisani, reprezentując grupę polskich ekologów akademickich, w tym Członków ostatniego Zarządu PTEkol, a także młodych naukowców organizujących konferencję ECHO, wyrażają przekonanie o potrzebie reaktywacji Polskiego Towarzystwa Ekologicznego, jako forum wymiany doświadczeń i idei naukowych, łącznik ze środowiskami naukowców zagranicznych oraz ciało opiniotwórcze reprezentujące środowisko szeroko-ujętej ekologii. Spotkanie organizacyjne poświęcone reaktywacji PTEkol odbędzie się bezpośrednio po konferencji ECHO i zostanie wkrótce dodatkowo ogłoszone w osobnym komunikacie.
Prof dr hab. Andrzej Nienartowicz (Wydział Biologii i Ochrony Środowiska Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu) – w imieniu ostatniego Zarządu PTEkol,
Dr hab. Wiktor Kotowski (Wydział Biologii Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego) – w imieniu Komitetu Naukowego Konferencji ECHO – Ecology in the Changing World.

What You Should Know About Options This Year
Six Must-Have Features for Your Business Phone System Effective communication is necessary if you want a successful business. Before purchasing a phone system, there are a few factors you should consider. One of the major factors you should consider is the type of features you expect to have. A telephone system is only as valuable as the features it has. Detailed below are 6 must have features your phone system needs. Answering Machine Every phone system on the market today has a voicemail feature. Nevertheless, answering machines differ depending on the providers. Certain Voicemail features give you access to messages regardless of location. Regardless of whether you are using the phone itself or a voicemail system, which is remote, you will still be able to access messages from whichever place. Phone Conferencing You can use this feature, which has multiple extensions to connect to a number of people. While buying a phone system with this particular feature, it is wise to find out the maximum or minimum number of connections the phone can have simultaneously. You should also test the sound quality of the speaker on the phone to ensure that all your conference calls are audible.
Doing Businesses The Right Way
Auto Attendant If you are very busy or maybe have a little cash to employ a call center solution, then you definitely need this. Your business could be termed as unprofessional if you lack such a software The feature is simply a virtual receptionist. It can convey loads of information and instructions that relate to your business.
The 10 Most Unanswered Questions about Options
Call Screening Feature Business people are often busy and might not have ample time to answer all their inbound calls. This feature is efficient because it allows you to choose how to handle a particular call. By looking at the caller ID, you can know, which calls are business related, and those that are not. Moreover, it also helps you prioritize to whom you would like to respond. However, it is important to know that it is not professional to have your business number being used for casual issues. On Hold Music According to a study done by a telemarketing magazine around 80% of business callers are often put on hold. Additionally, the study evidently showed that 60% of the callers hang up if they end up experiencing silence. Playing musing in the background, in most cases encourages the caller to remain on the line. You can also keep them on hold using messages instead of utter silence. Forwarding Call This feature allows inbound calls to be forwarded to another phone such as a mobile phone, or to another office phone, instead of going unanswered.In some cases, the hunt group technique is used, and the call is forwarded to a series of numbers until it is eventually answered. It is clear that phone systems have a variety of features. It is your job to research for you to see the kind of features that can cater for your firm needs. Nonetheless, no law prohibits you from having all of them.

How Lame Art Thou Squabbles
How Lame Art Thou Squabbles
Corey WilsonThursday,27 August 2015
The war on Christianity continues in America. On Friday, a high school band in Mississippi was… banned from playing "How Great Thou Art," a religious hymn, during the school's halftime show. An objective atrocity—an infringement on their rights. Proof that the enemy will not stop until Christianity is purged from their once great land.
I grew up in Canada—that socialist country with all the maple syrup that always beats you at hockey—and I grew up singing "Away in a Manger" at Christmas assemblies. It never bothered me, and even now, as detached as I've become from the religion of my childhood, it still doesn't. They're just songs. But for other people, ones who do hold faith—faith in a different god—they may not be just songs.
But the question is: do I think we should stop making our kids sing those songs at school? The answer is yes. I grew up in a cultural melting pot just outside Toronto—the butthole of Toronto, some call it—I had a lot of kids of different races, and creeds in my classrooms. For that reason I don't think it's fair to usher them into an assembly and force them to sing a song about Jesus. And you were forced; I remember being scolded for not singing along—for not "participating."
Now, according to Wikipedia, 86% of the population in Brandon, Mississippi is white, and I'd wager that the majority of those people hold faith in some sect of Christianity. So our circumstances don't exactly line up, but I don't think it matters, and here's why.
School is a state-run service, and since Brittany Mann, a resident of Brandon, invoked the Founding Fathers so too shall I. Your Founding Fathers promised a separation between church and state; Brandon HS receives state funding, correct? Therefore, it's a state service. The state doesn't get to have religious beliefs. Tax payers–the ones who fund the schools–should be allowed to attend a school event without having another person's beliefs be thrown at them. Not everyone believes in the Bible, but everyone pays taxes. Get it?
We have Catholic Schools where I'm from, where "Religion" is an actual class, and the teachers send home letters urging parents to forbid their children from watching The Da Vinci Code—and not because it sucked.
Brandon High School is not a Catholic school; it's a public school. Meaning, obviously, it's open to the public. I would imagine that there are no Muslim schools, no Muslim District School Boards, in Brandon, and so I'd imagine that any Muslim (or Atheist, Hindu, or whatever) students would have no choice but to attend Brandon (or whichever other public high school was available).
For that reason, Brandon HS doesn't get to play "How Great Thou Art." Can you play the song at the church's annual bake sale? Of course! Could you play it at a Catholic school's halftime show? Of course! But not at a public school.
Your Founding Fathers, the ones you so readily invoke to support your freedom of religion, don't support you parading your religion at public schools. And another thing, America was not founded on Christian values. Stop saying it was.
I would imagine that those who were quoted in Starnes's article wouldn't support this song being sung at a half time show, or this one. No, I'm sure it'd just be another excuse to get upset and proclaim that Christianity is being threatened.
Take Action!
