New Coalition Forms to Protect Social Games in Washington
Civic leaders, industry experts and tech executives in Washington have formed a new coalition to protect the social games industry in the state.
The coalition is leading an effort to ensure the state does not restrict access to so-called social games, which are played statewide by millions and support thousands of local jobs, according to the coalition.
The fear of restrictions or bans on social games stems from the Washington State Gambling Commission's refusal in 2018 to issue guidance establishing that social games are not a form of illegal gambling. The "Game On WA" coalition says some 23,000 people are employed by the social games industry in Washington, jobs that could be on the line if the WSGC's failure to act is not corrected.
Paul Mathews, founder and president of social-games company Playstudios Inc., said in an opinion piece written for GeekWire in October that concerns over social games being a form of gambling stem from the fact that players can win "non-redeemable tokens or credits," which he describes as a "flawed premise" that "grossly misrepresents social games."
"A potential misinterpretation of Washington state's gambling statute by a federal court could mean Washington residents will lose access to their favorite apps," Michael Schutzler, CEO of Washington Technology Industry Association and the Game On WA co-chair, said.
The coalition also is led by former Washington Governor Gary Locke and Kristina Hudson, executive director of OneRedmond. The group seeks to educate the public and lawmakers about the value of the social games industry and to convince the state Legislature to "affirm that social games are a form of entertainment, and not illegal gambling."

Animaniacs Fan Fiction ❯ Yakko's Curse ❯ The Not Real Past ( Chapter 1 )
Nightmares again. His curse. By the animators' blessings, it was only his. His siblings had no idea of the pain the animators put him through, though most of them were long dead. If he had his way, he would have been the cause of their deaths. For real.
He yawned and shivered as blood gushed through his mind, the sound of a woman screaming, and the boom of a gun. He knew if he whimpered or moaned, his siblings would wake. He could tell nobody. Well, there was…but to be serious for him? Another hour of nightmares and he got out of bed and slipped out of the water tower. He was soon in front of the door. He stood there, shaking miserably, then took a deep breath and knocked. If he didn't answer… The door opened. Dr. Scratchansniff looked distastefully down at him.
"Yakko? I am in no mood for your antics."
"I…You're our psychiatrist, right?" Yakko asked weakly. "And th-that means you'll listen to us, right?"
The doctor was about to yell at the child, but then he looked in his eyes. He was in some serious pain.
"Yakko, are you alright?" he asked hesitantly.
"I…Of course," Yakko lied, trying to perk himself up.
"Come in, Yakko."
Dr. Scratchansniff led him over to his couch. The Warner sat down hesitantly, playing with his hands. The human watched him carefully, searching for deception, but the creature seemed truly upset at something.
"Can I get you anyzing, Yakko?"
"I…The only thing that ever helps is a hot drink," he whispered softly.
Soon a cup of hot chocolate was placed in his hands and he sipped it slowly. The doctor sat in his chair, still studying the Warner brother and expecting any second for him to do something zany. But…he just sat there, sipping the drink. His shoulders were slumped, eyes downcast to the floor. It looked like he hadn't gotten any sleep all night, and the clock's hands were inching towards two.
Dr. Scratchansniff was about to ask Yakko why he was here when the boy's hands began to shake. Without any other warning, he stood to his feet and threw the mug across the room as hard as he could. As it shattered, an agonized scream left his lips and he collapsed to his knees, curling up as small as he could.
"Yakko!" the doctor gasped, hurrying over to place his arm around the boy. "Vatever is zhe matter?"
"I hate them!" he yelled, slamming his fists against the floor. "I hate them with everything I am! I hate them so much it hurts! I-I-I HATE THEM!"
Dr. Scratchansniff hadn't seen such raw pain from the any of the Warners before. He wasn't sure what to do. So he did the only thing he could. For the first time he willingly embraced Yakko, holding him close. He picked up the boy and sat down, placing the oldest Warner sibling beside him. He pet him, rocking him back and forth and shushing him gently. Yakko pulled away, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Sorry, doc," he whispered.
Dr. Scratchansniff watched worriedly. Yakko was still trying to be small.
"Don't be zorry, Yakko. Vat's wrong?"
"I…I can't."
"Come now, you can tell me anyzing."
"But…but they can't find out."
"Who? Your ziblings?"
Yakko nodded. "They can't find out. They'd want to know, and I don't need them having nightmares about it."
"I cannot tell anybody anyzing unless you tell me I can. And past zat, I promise I von't tell them. But you cannot keep zis inside you anymore. Please, Yakko, talk to me."
"Y-you can't ever write this down. We read all your files."
The doctor had guessed that they did that, and he felt a burst of irritation, but Yakko was more important than that. "Very vell. I vill not write it down. Now, talk. It vill help you."
Yakko sat there, tears winding down his furry cheeks. He took a deep breath.
"I wasn't really around to see it. Not really. It was written into my past, with every drop of ink that was drawn into me. It makes sense that only I know it. The other two were 'sleeping' when it happened, and they can't even remember them. They weren't…drawn that way."
"I zee. How exactly vere you drawn?"
"I know what happened to our parents," Yakko said blankly, looking up. "The animators, the writers, they were all in on it. They laughed about it. I know they did because I heard them."
"Vat…Vat happened?"
"Our father stabbed our mother to death then shot himself," Yakko said, glancing shyly up at the doctor. He formed his hand in the traditional shape of a gun and placed his outstretched fingers under his chin. "Boom! Right there." He shuddered. "Do you know what brains look like, doc? I mean, when they're spread all over the ceiling with blood dripping down with them?"
"No…No, Yakko, I cannot zay that I do."
Dr. Scratchansniff couldn't believe this story. If he didn't see the pain, the remembrance in Yakko's eyes, he would have guessed that this was a story concocted by the Warner trio to get him. He silently pulled the boy in tighter, stroking his back. Yakko leaned over, sighing and burying his face into the doctor's shirt.
"It's the reason I went zany," he said softly. "The other two followed and blocked the memories of all the ab-abuse that went on in our house. We were beaten bloody a lot of days. Most days we were ignored and starved. All we had was each other. Father and Mother were both hooked on crystal meth and alcohol. It was terrible. She talked about little her 'sweet little Dottie' doing…grown up things to get more money for her. Wakko, too, but she never followed through with it. I wouldn't let her."
"How old vere you?"
"The animators drew me at fourteen, Wakko at eleven, and Dot at nine."
"Zat does not answer my qvestion."
"I…I was seven," Yakko said shyly. "Wakko was almost four and Dot was two. They were asleep during the whole thing."
Dr. Scratchansniff frowned, staring hard at the boy. "You're not telling me everyzing. Vat are you hiding?"
"I went insane that night. I…did things…horrible things…" Yakko's voice cracked and he shivered.
"Like vat?" When Yakko stayed silent, the doctor tilted his chin up. "You can tell me."
"M-may I show you instead?"
"Show me?"
"Y-yeah. It's one of our zany abilities, pulling people into memories. Usually they're false, you know, what we want them to be, but…it can be used for real memories."
"If you zink it will be easier."
"In some ways. In other ways…it will be more difficult."
With that, Yakko stood, pulling the doctor with him. There was a deep shiver that went through the human's spine as the room around him melted into a dark, dreary place. Dr. Scratchansniff blinked hard, staring at the two…whatever the Warners were. They were clearly adults and they looked high out of their minds. There were open bottles of alcohol spilled over, including one upside down in the female's hand.
"Get your ass away from me!" she shrieked.
"Drunk whore! I want sex, and you better give it to me!"
"So we can have more mistakes?! Besides, you're not the one who has to spend nine months sober just to pop something out that's not even useful."
Dr. Scratchansniff heard two sharp intakes of breath. One was from Yakko, who was standing beside him, crying hard. He looked around for the other source, but saw nothing. He turned to ask, and Yakko pointed to a corner back by the hallway leading to the bedrooms. There, standing in the shadows was a very young-looking Yakko. He was crying, too, staring with wide eyes at his parents, but they didn't see him.
Suddenly, there was the sound of shattering glass as the female broke the bottle over her husband's head. He roared in anger and she screamed lightly and ran out of the room into the kitchen. Seconds later the male backed out, holding his hands up.
"Now, darling…" he said. "I love you. Don't you love me, snuggle-puppy?"
She stared at him, holding the large knife out between them. With gentle hands, he toyed the knife away from her and began to kiss her. The kisses became very heavy then she pushed him away.
"I said, no sex!" she spat.
The next thing anybody knew, the knife was sticking out of her stomach. She screamed and writhed, but the knife came down on her again and again until she collapsed on the blood-soaked floor. He dropped the knife beside her and panted. A soft whimper sounded out and the adult male looked at Yakko. He silently left the room and came back with a gun. He pointed the gun under his chin and looked at the boy again.
"This is all your fault," he growled then pulled the trigger.
The boom sounded out loud and strong, and young Yakko stared in shocked horror at the brains oozing off the ceiling. His expression suddenly went blank and he slowly approached the bodies. He knelt down in the blood, touching it with his furry black hand. He rubbed his finger and thumb together.
"Mommy and Daddy are dead," he said blankly. Then a maniacal grin spread across his face. "That means they can't hurt us anymore! But…what if they get up? They'll hurt Wakko and Dot. I can't let that happen. How can I…?" He saw the knife. He wrapped his hand around the hilt of the blade and gently picked it up. "I know…"
Suddenly he began to hack his mother to pieces. The vision suddenly began to fall apart as the boy moved on to his father. When he was done, blood soaked his clothes.
"Now you can't hurt us anymore!" young Yakko sang happily. Then he danced.
There an explosion around them and the deafening noise of shattering glass as the vision fell to pieces. Yakko hit the ground, sobbing desperately. He was gently picked up again and settled beside the good doctor, who just held him close again. He was numb. For a child to have suffered so much was unthinkable. The worst part? None of it had actually happened. It was all written and drawn into the boy's past. He shivered as Yakko hiccupped.
"Zere zere, Yakko," he said softly. "It vill be alright."
Yakko sniffled. "After that," he whispered hoarsely, "I got Wakko and Dot outside and set the house on fire. Wakko asked me what all the blood was. Do you know what I said?"
"I said it was juice. Then I waved my hand and all the blood came off and turned into grape juice pouches. We sat there and watched our house burn with our dead parents in it, drinking the blood-turned-juice. I knew I couldn't let my siblings know, so when Dot asked about Mommy, I lied. I've been lying ever since, too. I told her we didn't have a Mommy or Daddy. I told her and Wakko that we were too special for a Mommy and Daddy.
"'Special?' she asked. 'How are we special, Yakko?'
"''Cause we're zany, that's why,' I replied.
"'What's zany?' Wakko asked.
"'This!' I cried.
Then I waved my hands and the flames, which were still leaping toward the sky, turned colors. I changed the colors many times, and they were satisfied with that. I was glad because I didn't know how to do much of anything else."
Yakko fell silent. Dr. Scratchansniff hummed, stroking the Warner's back to comfort him.
"Zo…you need to be zany?"
"Yes…it's written into me. If I stop being zany for a long while, I start hallucinating and dreaming while I'm awake. With the other two, it's all they know, but with me…sanity's overrated anyway, right?" Yakko forced a laugh; it was harsh and grating.
"I zink you need to ztart zeeing me regularly."
"No. My siblings would be too curious and spy on us. I could stop them, but then they'd be suspicious."
"How could you ztop zem?"
"I have more…let's call them zany powers. I have more than the other two combined. I think it's 'cause I'm the only one that's tasted insanity. I can turn theirs on and off at will. And I don't think I was purposely drawn that way, either. It's to such a strong degree that it's kind of scary. I can bend reality in terrifying ways. You know, to the point that it's scary to somebody instead of funny."
"I zee. I ztill vant to zee you regularly, Yakko. How does Tuesday night sound?"
"Night? I didn't know you saw patients at…Oh. Sounds…good, I guess. I put my sibs to bed at ten. They're usually asleep by ten thirty."
"Gut. I zhall zee you at eleven on Tuesday night."
"A-are we done?" Yakko asked, looking upset.
"Ve both need zleep, Yakko."
"C-can I sleep here for now? Please? I'll be gone before my sibs wake up."
The doctor looked at him carefully. "No zaniness until you break out of zhe vater tover tomorrow, ja?"
Yakko nodded. "Okay."
"Gut. Now, vait right here."
He returned with a blanket and a pillow, and Yakko stood to allow him to make out a makeshift bed on the sofa. For the first time in his life, he was tucked in gently. After some hesitation, a gentle kiss was placed on his head. Yakko sighed contentedly and fell asleep quickly, smiling softly.
Dr. Scratchansniff stared at him. After all he had learned, he realized that he could de-zanitze the other two, with lots and lots and lots of work, but Yakko? He needed it or he would be thrown into an insane asylum. The doctor felt his resolve harden. He wouldn't tell Plotz. He couldn't. That grouchy old man would never understand. Ever. And he couldn't tell the other Warners. He could tell his nurse, but he wouldn't. So that left…nobody. Nobody but Yakko. Suddenly, the doctor wondered how Yakko had managed for all those years. Oh well. It didn't matter anymore. Now he was there for the boy.
"You know zomezing?" he asked nobody in particular as he stroked Yakko's head gently. "You're like zhe zon I never had."
The doctor was shocked by the statement, but it was true. And he thought maybe, just maybe, they could get out of this without somebody getting killed because of a past mistake.

This feature looks at some of the earliest mentions of famous names or terms in The Times. Have an idea for someone or something you would like to read about? Leave a suggestion in the comments section.
The first time The Times mentioned a run by Bernie Sanders, he finished in 15th place. But it wasn't a political race — he was on the track team at James Madison High School in Brooklyn in 1956, and his time appeared at the bottom of "Group 1" under "Summaries":
But young Bernard Sanders didn't give up, and in a 1957 meet, he did much better, finishing third in the mile.
Twenty-four years later, Bernard was Bernie, and he had traded Brooklyn for Vermont, and track and field for politics. After a number of unsuccessful runs in the 1970s, he finally won public office.
Running as an unabashed socialist just a couple of months after Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as president, Mr. Sanders narrowly defeated a five-term Democrat in March of 1981 to become mayor of Burlington.
The election was a squeaker — he won 43.2 percent to 43.1 percent — but Mr. Sanders's career as a public official was off and running.
An earlier version of the post inaccurately characterized Bernie Sanders's finish in a high school track race in 1956. He finished in 15th place. It was not the case that he finished dead last.

Annabelle was diagnosed in January of 2016 at the age of ten. She is a fraternal twin and we suspected from the day she was born a full pound and a half lighter than her sister that something was not right. Annabelle achieved all of her milestones late, learning to walk at two but she never acquired language. Today, she communicates with a talker in short phrases. Annabelle also suffers from abnormal sleep patterns as do most DDX3X children. She has severe cognitive deficits, major sensory issues, and fine motor deficits. She attends a highly specialized school and will likely require around the clock care for the rest of her life. She loves swimming, jumping on her trampoline, books, swinging and she adores her siblings. We are extraordinarily grateful for our DDX3X family, the researchers dedicated to finding a way to improve our children's lives and those who have provided financial support to the DDX3X Foundation along the way.

South Korea and Saudi Arabia vowed to strengthen bilateral ties in various key sectors under the kingdom's Vision 2030 agenda at the second meeting of Korea-Saudi Vision 2030 Committee, which was formed in November 2017.
According to a statement by South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, an agreement to spur bilateral collaboration was signed in South Korean capital, Seoul, on the side-lines of the event.
During the meeting, the two countries discussed 40 cooperation projects in five different areas, as well as their implementation plans. These Vision 2030-oriented projects cover sectors including manufacturing and energy; digital and smart infrastructure; capability enhancement; public healthcare and life sciences; and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and investment.
The agreement was signed between Sung Yun-mo, South Korea's Trade, Industry, and Energy Minister, and Saudi Arabia's Economy and Planning Minister, Mohammed Al-Tuwaijri.
Both sides also inked a memorandum of understanding to step up cooperation in testing and certifying energy efficiency materials.
This deal was signed between Korea Conformity Laboratories president, Yoon Kap-seok, and governor of Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organisation, Saad bin Othman Al-Qasabi.
South Korea already has a solid presence in the GCC. In February 2019, SK Engineering & Construction Company was awarded an $1.2bn (AED4.4bn) engineering, procurement, and construction contract for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's (Adnoc) underground oil storage facility in Fujairah.
March 2018 saw Adnoc award two contracts to another Korean contractor, Samsung Engineering, with one deal each to introduce crude oil processing flexibility, and to recover power and water, at its Ruwais refinery.[[{"fid":"66543","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default"},"type":"media","link_text":null,"attributes":{"class":"media-element file-default"}}]]

I just saw a TV show, where a man was standing proudly, next to the bear he just shot.
You know what? I think before people hunt, they should have to earn the right by being hunted by a wild animal or beast. The animal should be suitably hungry, and the man should not have a weapon.

When it comes to favourite fashion brands, companies that offer wardrobe staples like jeans and cashmere sweaters and basic cotton tees probably come to mind. But 2018's top fashion brand won't sell you a pair of stone-washed denim with a frayed hem that hits above the ankle. Nope, this year, Nike is the World's Most Admired.
The athleticwear giant has long been the gold standard for professional athletes and weekend warriors alike, but its push to dress Instagram influencers and celeb street style stars has expanded the swoosh's reach. Just try and walk through the grocery store without spotting a pair of Nike kicks within the first five minutes. Impossible.
Since 1997, Fortune has compiled its annual list of World's Most Admired Companies, and while Nike landed first place in the Apparel category (ranked #16 overall), the very top three Most Admired were dominated by the tech sector. Apple, Amazon and Alphabet (Google's parent company) took the podium for first, second and third place respectively. And it's no surprise, really. Most have used all three of those products at some point. Heck, maybe you Googled "buy new towels" on your iPhone and ordered a set on Amazon Prime while sipping a caramel macchiato from Starbucks (it ranked #5 overall).
In terms of style, runners up included Nordstrom (ranked #28 overall), followed by Target (#38) and Adidas (#42). If you're looking for proof that the whole 'athleisure' trend isn't wavering, let this be it.
In order to evaluate the most respected companies (which span over 52 different industries from Apparel to Internet Services, Food Services to Airlines, and more), Fortune partnered with global management consulting firm Korn Ferry to create a panel of 3,900 executives, directors and analysts. The experts were tasked with ranking companies "from investment value and quality of management and products to social responsibility and ability to attract talent."
Being recognized as a Most Admired company is likely just another drop in the bucket for mega brands like Nike, but they probably still appreciate it. Whatever sells more Air Force 1s, right?
Who are we kidding? They sell themselves.

DJ GarGar's unconventional San Diego band samples
The Beautiful State draws from No Knife, Buck-O-Nine and others
Jay Allen Sanford 2 p.m., Dec. 5
Alejandro Escovedo: Guitar (acoustic), Guitar (electric), Vocals
Genre: Rock
RIYL: The Nuns, the Dragons, the Sensitive Boys
No shows scheduled | Post a show | View show history
Alejandro Escovedo comes from a local musical family dynasty, which includes brothers Coke and Pete (Santana), and Sheila E, who is his niece, and his brothers Mario (the Dragons) and Javier (the Zeros). His own career first arrived on pop culture's radar while playing with the the Nuns, a punk band he started in San Francisco with Jennifer Miro and Jeff Olener. That gig landed him on the front porch of Manhattan's Chelsea, called the world's most rock-and-roll hotel.
Escovedo lived there for a year, made friends, and wrote songs about them. "Nancy [Spungen] called us to her room," he sings in "Chelsea Hotel '78," "said come help us with Sid [Vicious]." In 1998, No Depression magazine named Escovedo their Artist of the Decade.
Escovedo moved to Austin years ago and, once in Texas, he started the band Rank and File and took off in a roots-rock/alt-country direction. That band eventually changed its name to the Sensitive Boys, and Escovedo bailed on Austin to live in Dallas.
"Austin is more like Los Angeles now, so I would say that it was the opposite," Escovedo told the Reader in 2017. "Austin has gotten overpopulated and invaded by a lot of people from other places. I'm not saying it's not a great city — it still is a great town. It's just very expensive for artists to live there. I think that it just has a quality now that I really don't care for."

Most of the rodeo contestants in cowboy costumes on the weekend have regular jobs during the week.
These guys want to be stars, and abusing animals under the guise of sport is about the only chance they'll have to get noticed by anyone. If you listen to the contestants as they are introduced, you'll find a surprising number of them come from cities.
The professional rodeo contestants are just performers in a westernized circus. Neither the amateurs nor the professionals would last long on a real ranch, where there is real work to be done.

Snap Plummets After Big Q3 Sales Miss
Snap Inc (NYSE: SNAP) lost over a fifth of its value following a third-quarter earnings miss.
The social media company delivered third-quarter adjusted EPS of $(0.14), missing estimates by a penny. Sales of $207.9 million came in far below estimates of $239.4 million.
Q3 Highlights
- Daily active users managed to grow 17 percent year-over-year to 178 million
- 4.5 million users added quarter-over-quarter
- Average revenue per user came in at $1.17, an increase of 39 percent year-over-year
- Capital expenditures rose 33 percent quarter-over-quarter
It appears the camera company's consumer product, Spectacles, failed to live up to the hype. Snap recorded $39.9 million worth of excesss inventory related to the Spectacles.
"Primarily related to excess inventory reserves and inventory purchase commitment cancellation charges," Snap said in its earnings release.
Instagram Impact
While more users are signing up for Snapchat over Instagram, that probably won't last for long, according to a report from marketing analytics company, Jumpshot.
Snapchat continues to trend down while Instagram is increasing its user base at a faster rate, largely due to new features that it copied from Snap. Instagram is also growing at a much faster rate internationally, as Snap has mostly ignored targeting under-developed nations.
The stock traded around $12.70, down 16 percent in the after-hours session.

A Basin Approach to Groundwater Recharge in the Okanagan: Bridging the Gap between Science and Policy
Principal Investigator - Diana Allen, Professor, Simon Fraser University, 2005 - 2007
Rapid development in the Okanagan, one of the driest regionsof Canada, has significantly increased demands on both surface and groundwater resources. While surface water exploitation is regulated, there is no currentlegislation governing the development and use of groundwater, which could negatively impact the long termsocial, economic, and agricultural activity of the surrounding watershed. In order to provide governments withthe necessary tools to manage this resource, a basicunderstanding of the current groundwater resource, its development, and vulnerability is needed. In particular, there is a noticeable knowledge gap concerning groundwater recharge relating to spatial variability and relative source contributions of highland, benchland, and valley bottom waters.
The goal of the project was to improve scientific understanding of groundwater recharge variability and recharge mechanisms, which could then be conveyed to stakeholders through a series of targeted decision support tools. Using the Okanagan Basin as the study region, the researchers conducted four integrated projects with the following objectives:
- Characterize direct groundwater recharge and define vulnerability zones
- Define relative source contributions to groundwater recharge (highlands, benchlands, valley bottom)
- Define surface/groundwater interactions within the watershed and the contribution of surface water to groundwater recharge
- Through the PATHWAYS initiative, provide direct transfer of the applied knowledge to decision-makers using an array of software tools and groundwater assessment methodologies. PATHWAYS is part of a broader Natural Resources Canada program aimed at developing spatial decision support systems to help promote and facilitate the uptake and use of earth science information more directly in strategic planning and policy development.
- Development of Water Management Strategies for local/watershed–scale applications: Involving a variety of water resource planning partners, the researchers employed an integrated approach to water management that captured the significant role that groundwater plays in the Okanagan watershed.
- Development of a conceptual model for the interaction of surface water and groundwater in representative catchments around the Okanagan Basin, which may help prevent ecosystem impacts in areas supported by groundwater-fed surface water supplies.
- Development of methodologies for undertaking a comprehensive groundwater recharge assessment over a large, complex region.
- Development of decision support tools for more effective management of groundwater resources.
- Development of hydrogeology visualization prototypes. New visualization interfaces, techniques, user factors and evaluation methods were developed to improve the science and knowledge base of hydro-geological visualization.
- Basic prototype interface for communicating volumetric hydrological concepts online
- 3D prototype to model groundwater flow dynamically on desktops. Testing geo-visualization interfaces in laboratory conditions allowed the researchers to gather more data about user performance and refine protocols to evaluate the different prototypes.
- Scientific advancements in knowledge of groundwater recharge at the basin scale.
- Informed decision-making based on the creation of decision-support tools for more effective management of groundwater resources.
- Changes in practice as the basin-wide approach provided a regional context for planning.
- Improved Integrated Understanding of Factors Affecting Water Quality. Results from the direct recharge study were extended to produce aquifer vulnerability maps, which can be used to evaluate the potential vulnerability of aquifers to surface contamination. Adaptable to answer specific questions, the maps can be used directly by decision makers for land-use planning and other management activities.

Be sure that all of your current decorations are weighted down making sure that they are doing not fall from spot and ruin the arrangement.

Choose your marriage ceremony dress prior to determine anything else, like jewelry, shoes, purse, hair or makeup style and design. Acquire your time striving on gowns and glimpse close to at various venues prior to making your decision. If you can discover what you like online, that should preserve you a lot of money far too! In the event you or your foreseeable future partner have a very good voice, one of the things which you could do is usually to sing a track at your wedding. This could certainly be a slow music that you just devote both for your upcoming soul mate or somebody that is certainly on the lookout down upon you at your marriage ceremony. In case you cannot possess a limo in your marriage, gown up the cars you're going in. Put on crepe paper bouquets, streamers and whichever else the proprietor will allow you to gown it up with. It'll cause you to experience like you have your personal custom made coach, therefore you do not really want a limo anyway. Include things like your fiance in planning your wedding ceremony or he'll end up sensation like it was not truly his day in the slightest degree. If he suggests he would not care what you do he might just be expressing that to keep you happy, so endeavor to contain him during the catering or cake selection so he provides a yummy way to get concerned. If you're previously residing using your spouse-to-be and do not really want housewares for wedding gifts, request hard cash as a substitute. Should you contain a sweet small poem inquiring people today to think about offering you a hard cash reward as an alternative to a little something you can not use, you will be preserving them some time it will take to buy and encouraging pay out for your personal honeymoon! Like pets in a very marriage could be a entertaining, unique strategy to rejoice your union! Dress your doggy up for a groomsman or bridesmaid and consider them up the aisle along with you. But do have another person choose the pet dog away throughout the particular ceremony so it would not find yourself barking or carrying out a thing it shouldn't!

It is not quite high-priced, nevertheless the foot tub and hand therapeutic massage should help tranquil your nerves and go away you seeking gorgeous and feeling wonderful! Tie minimal decorative merchandise into each of the factors within your marriage decor. Possess a ribbon utilized on your own bouquet mirrored with your centerpieces, or in the robe, or even within your hair. It is really the little particulars which can make your marriage ceremony glance remarkable mainly because it displays you've place a real work into help it become your perfect day. Bouquets are a really important component of your respective wedding day and you also will wish to get refreshing flowers delivered to the web-site of your respective reception. Also, make sure that the flowers match the concept within your wedding ceremony, too as, the year that you're obtaining your wedding day in. This will optimize the overall effect of one's nuptial. In the event you are not able to decide on colours to your wedding ceremony, take into consideration using the colors from nature. Quite a few weddings have several colours, not just 1 or 2. You might experiment with yellow, greens, browns, reds, and pinks. You may, also, approach your marriage ceremony hues all around the season. In case you are possessing a fall wedding day, use tumble colours to influence you. Marriage bands absolutely are a important section on the marriage ceremony, because they help to suggest the signing up for of two events. Ensure that on the days top nearly the marriage and on the marriage ceremony itself to acquire a person who you can rely on preserve observe of the wedding ceremony bands to make sure security. Select no matter if or not you are going to wear pantyhose with your marriage gown early therefore you can get an opulent pair of silk hose in the sizing. This is often your exclusive day, this means you have earned to dress in the very best! Which includes a set of stockings which happen to be silky gentle and lovely is likely to make you are feeling a lot more self-assured in front of the group. When you are acquiring hassle arising with a present in your marriage friends, consider something beneficial. My mothers and fathers had matchbooks printed with their marriage ceremony date, which was excellent if they acquired married as no-one realized smoking cigarettes was poor however. Now I'd have got a candle with a tag engraved the wedding date in its place as it's way more balanced for them to burn off that! For anyone who is aquiring a reception in a venue that doesn't offer the decor, you may must pick up the napkins and tablecloths on your own. I would not suggest going with plastic, so as an alternative get reasonably priced material and hem the sides to make it appear like a professionally finished products. Do a similar for napkins inside a matching color. Photographs that partners will not consider will make their wedding day album distinctive. If you're performing the images, you should definitely acquire pictures of every one of the tiny factors, together with the rings, bouquet, invitations, program, tables, cake, meals, menu, and lots of candids from the company arriving. You are able to locate much more thoughts in wedding ceremony journals as their images might be prime notch.

Not far from the Powell Street cable car line turnaround, Pat's Cafe is an unpretentious, charmingly small North Beach restaurant, best known for their brunch and breakfast dishes. I like this place for the neighborhood cafe feel, the personable service, and convenient North Beach location.
Let the tourists wait in line at all the crowded traps (i.e. Mama's) around Washington Square; I'd rather not start my day with a hour plus wait just for some hearty breakfast. My favorites include the French toast, pancakes, and the scrambled eggs with cheese and chicken-apple sausages. The free Wi-Fi is a nice perk, and I heard they recently started dinner service. |Pat's Cafe|

Faculty Development
The Faculty Innovation and Enhancement Program, an initiative first spearheaded in January of 2018, supports new funding opportunities for faculty research, travel to attend conferences, resources to assist with publications and projects, as well as to support research grants and partnerships to strengthen faculty teaching and scholarship.
African American Studies Initiative
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded Prairie View A&M University a grant of $500,000 to support its effort to establish an African-American Studies Initiative which will be housed in its Marvin D. and June Samuel Brailsford College of Arts and Sciences. Inspired by the Mellon Foundation award, an anonymous donor pledged an added $250,000 to help fund this Initiative. This generous donation is eligible for a $250,000 university match, bringing the total support for the Initiative's launch to $1 million.
The project, Enhancing the Humanities at PVAMU Through An African-American Studies Program Initiative, is designed to selectively infuse African American Studies content throughout the university's liberal arts offerings. The initial concept for the program was conceived when Prairie View President Ruth J. Simmons called for the creation of an African-American Studies program in her first campus-wide address. Having directed Afro-American Studies at Princeton and Chaired the African-American Studies Department Visiting Committee at Harvard, President Simmons expressed surprise and disappointment that, given the University's cultural legacy, it did not have a formal program in African-American Studies.

What's My Life Insurance Policy Worth?
The value of your life insurance policy ultimately depends on a few variables, including the size of your policy, the type of policy you have, your policy's premiums and your health status or life expectancy. Each of these factors can affect your policy's value.
On average, policyowners who sell their policies can expect to receive more than four times the policy's cash surrender value. And if you sell your policy directly to a licensed life settlement provider, you won't have to share any of your proceeds with a broker or other intermediary.
To find out if you qualify for a life settlement, complete our online qualifier or give us a call today at 1.800.COVENTRY or 1.800.268.3687.

Rhyme and Real Ale Returned to the Mackinstosh Sports Club Monday July 13 2015. 7.30pm hosted by this man:
Patrick Widdess is a champion of the wonderfully woven word and those that make it happen live onstage, or come to life on the page. His Headstand Radio series of blogs about poetry and music can be checked out HERE The latest featured poet is Costa Poetry Prize Winning Jonathan Edwards!
Patrick came within a point of winning the recent poetry slam at the Made in Roath Summer Poetry Festival and is truly generous in spirit, and an enjoyably friendly MC, opening the evening with a droll parody of over cautious attitudes to safety awareness
He offered us more of his own well chosen words as he guided us through another great night at RARA with regular faces and new voices offered five minutes to share words, song, a short story, or whatever they had brought.
Pictorial record… Christian Searle, as gently cuttingly sharp as always
Bridget Leggy Tanner's sore throat meant that her comic collaboration with Anna Ward will have to happen another time but here they are watching Dave the Rave fight the process of ageing with playful defiance
John Eliot, author of Ssh! Returns to RARA
Julie Croad launching her poetry book "The Important Things In Life", opening with a naughtily delivered ode to the juiciness of Beetroot!
Yvonne, (a friend brought along by Julie Croad) read one piece from her book of 12 poems (one for each month of the year), nicely observed details adding up to epic imagery
Chris Norris, chucking words at us considerably more considered than my pun on the 'Chuck Norris' association his name brings to some minds!
Dave Daggers, in confessionally comic mood, and his props for Hell's Bells related japery with the bells reimagined as doorbells!
Mark Curtis, speaking up for the weakest in society who get so squeezed by those at the top of the tree
Leon 'Laz' Lazarus bringing the shadows into the light and delivering a piece written for a friend's birthday in his own inimitable edgy/spooky style
Des Mannay, in the habit now of being shortlisted and winning word related prizes sharing, among other pieces, a troubled personal perspective on the events known as 7/7, completed and first shared publicly on the ten year anniversary of that horrible day in London
Greg in spiky mood, tackling injustice!
A return to the mic for Julie Croad, offering more from her mostly humorous, sometimes serious poetry book
Ellie Powell returning to delight RARA again!
Bryan Marshall, as ever, slightly bashful about his often very forthright words
Vincent Thomas, delivery and presence getting stronger by the reading exploring the idea of the comedown, and how love and ecstasy don't necessarily mesh together well…
Maggie Nash, sharing mostly sweetly remembered childhood related words
Ceri Sian DeStefano, our special musical guest was another RARA regular with sore throated voice impairment issues, so she wasn't able to sing. She asked whether she wanted poetry or a little bit of instrumental play. I 'helpfully' called out "Both" and both were both delivered
Before Patrick wrapped up another successful and wide ranging RARA Night Chris Norris took his chance to deliver another piece he wished to share and then RARA was over for another month. See you next time. Oh, in true Columbo style, one more thing…
Because I was too focused on being about to perform that I forgot to ask anyone to take pics for us, this was taken at the end of the night, Fran Smith and I did part of our collaboration on the theme of Compassion, and we got great feedback, about our words and our contrasting styles.
Come to RARA :-), Come, Listen, Connect! Come one, come all!

The best used cars for first-time drivers start with top-notch safety ratings. After all, inexperienced drivers are more likely to get into accidents, and that makes any extra occupant protection all the more important. With recent pre-owned vehicles, you can also take advantage of modern driver-assistance technologies. Many are now available even in very affordable used cars.
For some shoppers, those two factors — affordability and the potential for vehicle damage — also come together in another way: Those folks don't want to spend a lot of money for a vehicle that, frankly, has a better chance of being damaged than one driven by someone with more practice. We took all those factors and more into account to come up with today's top 10 picks.

II Corinthians 4:16-18
"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."
Praise God for his word.
Remember This?November 27, 2007
So you might remember this video I made last year when I gave a message at Woodland Christian High School last year. I watched it for the first time in months today and a whole year later I am still dumbfounded by the answers some of these people gave. I expected there to be people who would say that Christmas is not about Jesus. I expected people to say that they aren't down with the commercialism that Christmas brings with it now. I even expected some people to actually say that Christmas is about Jesus. What I did not expect was the amount of people who are willing to admit that they know it's supposed to be about Jesus but couldn't care less. To be honest, making this video broke my heart. Ignorance is one thing, ignorance I can help with. Changing hearts? Yeah, still can't do that. So I post this not to show off my sweet video editing skills, I found mistakes and I can't figure out how they made it past me before. This is just a reminder that there are plenty of opportunities to combat Santa and his onslaught of commercialism with good news! Myspace won't let me embed my own video here so try clicking this.
Feed My Covetousness.November 27, 2007
Lately my family's been asking me the always unanswered, "What do you want for Christmas?". I've been a little bit better about answering this year, explaining that I'd like to have some more clothes that I can wear to work (AB) or books and music always work. Well, today I discovered the wish list feature on Amazon.com and I've already spent way too much time on there. My question is, what book or CD needs to be on there that you find lacking? I figure if you're reading this you probably have a good idea of what I'd like. If that's not the case, tell me what you would like, I'll pretend like I care. Ok, I'm kidding. But seriously… Take a look.
Well if HuckChuck says so…November 19, 2007

3 Months Later…November 12, 2007
Bryan and I moved to Chico about 3 months ago. As you all know I just recently found work and have done a better job keeping busy but Bryan is still without. Boredom has taken its toll and he's losing it. Here's a little video just to give you a taste of what I'm talking about. Pray for him and while you're at it, pray for me. I'm the one who has to live with this nut job…

To All the Boys I've Loved Before – Review
To All the Boys I've Loved Before – Review
In Netflix's latest original film, To All the Boys I've Loved Before, sixteen-year-old Lara Jean (Condor) loves reading romance novels, but in reality, her heart belongs only to Josh Sanderson (Israel Broussard). Trouble is, Josh is dating her older sister Margot (Parrish) and now Margot's off to Scotland to study and she's not leaving without dropping a huge truth bomb on Josh.
Just when her life couldn't get any stranger, Lara Jean's secret love letters to her five former crushes mysteriously get mailed to them. It is bad enough that Lara Jean now refuses to face Josh, she also has former crush Peter Kavinsky (Centineo) hounding her with an idea that might just benefit both of them. The only problem is, sometimes a fake relationship can be just as complicated as a real one.
Jenny Han's 2014 young adult novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a break-out hit, especially given that the lead was a Korean-American girl. Not enough romance books or films engage with racially diverse protagonists, which is why the film adaptation of this book is already receiving rave reviews. Netflix is the perfect platform for a film that this destined for a cozy afternoon viewing.
The story is unfussy and twee, retreading the markers of romantic comedies gone before it without falling into too many tropes. The young cast puts on refreshingly effortless performances – none of which will blow your mind, but is fitting for the calibre of the film. They all exude a youthful charm that will keep you interested in watching the entire film.
I commend writer-director duo Alvarez and Johnson for creating a film sans the overwrought histrionics that are part of the lexicon of most young adult media. The characters go about their trials and tribulations with tentative confidence and subtle emotions. I am so glad I didn't have to sit through prolonged scenes of people yowling and yelling over every single obstacle they face. It certainly made for an enjoyable viewing experience.
The film isn't perfect, however. I find it troubling that the majority of Lara Jean's crushes are white boys. Author Jenny Han has addressed this criticism at IndieWire, but the filmmakers could easily have changed the racial identities of at least one of the leading males (Lucas doesn't count as he's hardly in the film). If I am a hundred percent honest, the only time I watched the trailer for the film, I did not realise that Josh and Peter were two different people. The actors look alarmingly alike. While this may suggest that Lara Jean has a type (which is completely normal), it does little for diversifying the romantic leads.
I also found the film's non-engagement of Lara Jean's family's race a little problematic. Does race have to be an issue in every film starring a non-white actor? No, it does not. But, racial dynamics do form a (sometimes troubling) part of everyday life, and a nod towards that in the film may have leant itself to the authenticity of its story.
My only other criticism would be the handling of the character Gen (Emilija Baranac). The film works hard at subverting regular rom-com clichés, but in Gen we have yet another ex-best friend-turned-Mean Girl character who is so incorrigibly petty, she ceases to be an actual person. Among a cast of otherwise mellow characters, Gen sticks out too much. I suppose that is the point, but it felt like a wasted opportunity to create one other well-rounded female character.
I am way past the target demographic for this film and, off-late, I have definitely struggled to find the appeal in young adult fare. Too many teen/ young adult books and media wallow in trivialities, which is probably why this year's Love, Simon was such a mega-hit. No matter how frivolous a film, there should be underlying layers to captivate the viewer. What I loved about To All the Boys I've Loved Before is that it captures the sweet magic of a feel-good film with its simplicity and fundamental moral code. Unlike The Duff, which this film is very reminiscent of, we don't have bad boy male characters turn good – we just have blank-slate male characters who we begin to like.
There has been a renaissance of Asian films recently with Crazy Rich Asians, Searching and this film all being released this summer, and many are hoping that these films will usher in a new era in Hollywood film-making. But there is still plenty of work to be done. In Hollywood, Asian equals South-East Asia and Japan, which leaves out large chunks of the population. Sub-continental and Middle Eastern stories and actors are still left out of mainstream Hollywood, and are rarely featured in genre films. So, while films like To All the Boys I've Loved Before can't be expected to be everything for everyone, they are a good start at bringing representative cinema to the fore. Just don't keep us waiting too long, Hollywood.

I'm a bit leery about setting goals for this year because my kids are still early in their ABA journey, and our lives are still rather unsettled. So, I'm setting these goals with the idea of being gentle with myself and knowing that flexibility may be required.
I'm separating my goals into five categories: homeschool, health, business, hobbies, and faith. There are other things I'd love to tackle like organization, but I'm choosing just a few goals so even though chaos may sometimes reign in my house, I can focus on the important things that I want to accomplish this year.
Use the Barton reading program with one of my dyslexic children 4x a week for at least 45 weeks. I have two dyslexic children. One is a hard worker and does fine with having me as a teacher. For one of my goals in November, 2018, we saved $250 and bought Barton Level One. The child breezed through that, and now, we're on Barton Level Two.
I have another child with dyslexia who isn't such an eager learner, so I won't be starting with that child right away. One thing at a time.
Follow the Paleo diet. I've been struggling with my weight and eating habits. Most of my life, I've been obese EXCEPT for the three times I've followed the Paleo diet religiously. (Yes, I've yo-yoed three times since my youngest was born 8.5 years ago, each time gaining and losing the same 75 to 95 pounds.)
I just had my physical, and while my blood lab work was very good, I know it won't stay that way if I stay at this weight with these eating habits. It's time to start Paleo again and accept that it may need to be a lifestyle for the rest of my life.
Eat at least 6 fruits and veggies a day. I used to eat 8 to 10 fruits and veggies a day, but as I ate more carbs and sweets, that fell by the wayside. This year I want to get back on track and am setting my goal for 6 fruits and veggies a day.
Blog 3x a week for at least 45 weeks of the year. Life's been crazy, and sometimes I blog 4x a week; sometimes I blog 1x a week. Now that I'm getting up early in the morning, I want to split my morning work time between my freelance work and the blog, so I need to set intentional goals, like blogging 3x a week, to get more done.
Increase my business income by 10%. A few years ago, I was making a very nice part-time income working from home. However, as my children's behavior got worse and intensified, I had to let many jobs go, and my income shrank to almost nothing. I'd love to be where I was before, but I know I can't. . .not yet. However, I would slowly like to add a bit more work and increase my income by 10%.
Read at least 30 minutes a day. I love to read, and always have. This year I'm not going to set a certain number of books that I want to read because it's difficult to keep that up with our current family issues. But I am quite sure I can commit to 30 minutes a day. (Later this week I'll be sharing what books I'd like to read in 2019.) I'm going to keep track of my books on my Goodreads account. I'd love it if you'd follow me there, and I'd love to follow you if you have a Goodreads account.
Read at least 6 religious/spiritual books. I'd like to deepen my spiritual life this year, and one way I'd like to do that is by reading 6 religious/spiritual books. These can be biographies of saints, or books for mothers, or books about faith. I just want to nourish my soul by reading more of these books.
Read the Bible in a year. I found this chart, and will use it to guide me through reading the Bible in a year. As a Catholic, I hear much of the Bible in our regular Mass every week, but I'd like to make a concentrated effort to read the Bible in a year myself.
Have you set goals? If so, I'd love to hear them!
