When and Where: January 9, 2018 – Manchester, N.H. (SNHU Fieldhouse)
Score: Le Moyne College 58, Southern New Hampshire University 53
Records: Le Moyne 11-5 (8-1 NE10), SNHU 11-4 (7-3 NE10)
Junior Daquaise Andrews (Queens, N.Y.) scored a game-high 19 points, but the Southern New Hampshire University men's basketball team was stifled by Le Moyne College, 58-53, Tuesday night at the SNHU Fieldhouse.
Andrews went 8-for-16 from the field, including 2-for-6 from long distance, and was 1-for-3 from the line, while grabbing three rebounds.
Russell Sangster and Daniel Kaigler each led the Dolphins with 10 points.
Le Moyne held its largest lead of the night at 52-42 with less than four minutes remaining in regulation when six straight Penmen points trimmed the deficit to four at 52-48 with 1:30 left. The gap was six with 12 seconds to go when senior Chris Walters (Stamford, Conn.) banked in a 3-pointer to make it a one-possession game at 56-53. Le Moyne would drain a pair of free throws, however, to seal it.
Walters finished with four points (1-10 FG, 1-5 3-FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and two steals.
Southern New Hampshire trailed by one less than three minutes into the contest when a 16-3 rush – with five points from Andrews and four each from junior Charlie Russo (Syracuse, N.Y.) and sophomore Ryogo Sumino (Kanagawa, Japan) – staked the Penmen to their largest lead of the game at 20-8 with 8:13 to play in the opening half.
Le Moyne responded with 10 straight points, including four each from Sangster and Tyquan Rolon, to slice its deficit to 20-18 with under four minutes to go. A 3 from Sumino sparked a 7-2 run that ended the half with SNHU leading, 27-20.
The margin was eight nearly three minutes into the second half when 10 points from Kaigler powered a 26-10 stretch that gave Le Moyne the lead at 52-42 with 4:05 on the clock. A Kaigler bucket with 9:28 to go gave the Dolphins the lead for good at 38-36.
Sumino posted nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3-FG) and four rebounds, while senior Dimitri Floras (Merrimack, N.H.) tallied eight points (3-9 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists. Russo netted seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3-FG, 2-2 FT) to go with three rebounds and a pair of steals.
-Southern New Hampshire, which loses for the fourth time in six games, drops back-to-back tilts twice in a span of six contests for the first time since Jan. 25-Feb. 11, 2014.
-Le Moyne outshot Southern New Hampshire, 41.1 percent (23-56) to 39.2 percent (20-51) from the field and 90 percent (9-10) to 63.6 percent from the stripe, while SNHU held a 26.1 percent (6-23) to 18.8 percent (3-16) advantage from the line.
-The Dolphins won the glass (38-29) and paint (32-18), while featuring a better assist-to-turnover ratio (12/13-6/13).
Up Next:
The Penmen return to action Wednesday, Jan. 17 (7:30 p.m.) when they take on the College of Saint Rose in a game that will air live on WGIR 610-AM. The next home game for SNHU is Saturday, Jan. 20 (3:30 p.m.) when it plays host to American International College at the Fieldhouse.

Sarah Spillane's new film Around the Block will be available worldwide via DVD and VOD outlets on August 5th. It's currently playing at Los Angeles' Arena Cinema for the first week of August. It's also in select theaters in Spillane's home country of Australia.
The film depicts life down under in Spillane's birth city of Sydney. She focuses on a white American teacher, played by Christina Ricci whose character of Dino Chalmers is trying to make a difference in the inner-city suburb of Redfern. She gets a class of Aboriginal teenagers to perform Shakespeare's Hamlet with her lead being Liam Wood, a 16-year-old Aborigine who has a talent for dancing and acting. Unfortunately, his future is threatened when he gets in trouble with the law and police.
Spillane was herself a teacher in Redfern from 2001 to 2005 at an Aboriginal arts college where she instructed students of all ages, including teenagers. She wrote the screenplay in 2004 after learning about a real-life Aboriginal teen who also got into trouble with the law and police.
In February 2004, an Aboriginal teen died as a result of a police chase. This intensified the already existing, racial tensions between the Aborigines and the whites in Australia. Riots even broke out in Redfern soon after. The incident mirrors many deaths of young African-American men as the result of police encounters or chases.
Recent films, such as Ryan Coogler's Fruitvale Station and Lofty Nathan's 12 O'Clock Boys, demonstrate that the issue of young, black men dying needlessly as a result of police encounters is still very relevant. However, Spillane's film has this racial tension rippling in the background, or on the side. Her aim is more to take a step back and not focus on the specific incident, but rather examine the neighborhood and show the situation, which lead to the racial tensions, or the needless death, much in the same way Spike Lee did in Do the Right Thing (1989).
Spillane is at the same time a huge fan of Shakespeare's Hamlet and considers the fictional Prince of Denmark to be one of the greatest characters ever created. It wasn't enough that her teacher protagonist instructs the tragic play. Spillane also used the plot and the figure of Hamlet as a template here. The Aboriginal teen named Liam gets pulled into a revenge plot as the result of the loss of his father. Shakespeare's Hamlet is similarly pulled into a revenge plot as the result of the loss of his father.
However, Spillane thought Hamlet was so complicated a character that it might be interesting to bifurcate him and have Hamlet be embodied as not one but two Aboriginal brothers. Thus, Liam Wood and his brother Steve Wood were born. Steve, the older brother, is the one bound by honor and duty. He is pulled into revenge because he doesn't recognize his freedom to do anything else, whereas Liam, the younger brother, is not as bound. He resists the pull into revenge because he does recognize his potential to be free of such trappings that reinforce the cycle of poverty and violence, or even racial tension.
Mark Coles Smith plays Steve Wood as the more aggressive, more frustrated and angrier half of Spillane's Shakespearean split. Coles-Smith just oozes raw sex appeal and danger. It would have been interesting to see more from him. Apparently, his character is older and out of school but still lives at home. Yet, it's likely he makes his money illegally, probably like his father, but we never see this, so there could have been more exploration of Steve's life, as was done in Sally El Hosaini's My Brother the Devil.
Hunter Page-Lochard plays Liam Wood and he is the true standout here. The first time he's seen, he's dancing beautifully, and clearly the camera loves him, as Spillane's camera-within-a-camera proves. He doesn't really draw your attention though until he delivers the iconic "To be, or not to be" soliloquy from Hamlet.
Up until this point, much is said about how Aboriginal youth or people wouldn't be interested or even capable of doing Shakespeare. This is reflective of real-life racism that Spillane said she witnessed or was told directly. She knew that it wasn't true and the Aboriginal actors who came to audition for the role were her evidence.
Spillane was impressed with young men like Braydn Pittman who auditioned for the role of Liam and nailed it. When she asked Pittman how he managed it, he said that it was because he knew and loved hip hop music. Ironically, Spillane had known that hip hop was going to be an entry way to the Shakespeare material. It's why she incorporated it into the script.
There is a scene where her teacher character Dino Chalmers sits Liam and the other students down. She relates Shakespeare's poetic dialogue to the rhythm and poetry of hip hop or rap artists. Specifically, Tupac Shakur is brought up. Spillane introduces Page-Lochard with an opening dance number to hip hop music. Her music composer Nick Wales worked with Page-Lochard to create the song for that number. Page-Lochard contributed by coming up with rap lyrics himself.
Aside from the hip hop and African-American influences, one scene called for Page-Lochard to really embrace his Aboriginal roots, eschewing modern culture for a moment. Spillane said it was her best day out of the 20 filming days. They were at Magic Point on the Australian coast during a beautiful morning overlooking the ocean. Page-Lochard strips off his shirt and drops to his knees. He grabs the Earth and digs into the dirt. He paints his head and torso with what looks like chalk to show his one-ness with nature. He then stomps and dances in a very spiritual, Aboriginal dance. It's very reminiscent of Native Americans or other Indigenous cultures. Spillane used Page-Lochard to help choreograph that moment atop the cliff.
This is Page-Lochard's first leading role in a feature, but Spillane had come to trust the now 21-year-old who was probably 19 or so when they were filming. Spillane said Page-Lochard brought such maturity and understanding of life and of the material to the film.

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian police have arrested a man who practised as a dentist for 29 years although he had no medical training and treated patients at his home in a cast-off examining chair.
The impostor's closest brush with the dental profession was during the years 1962 to 1978, when he assisted an army dentist by carrying his bag on visits to plantation workers' homes, the New Straits Times reported on Wednesday.
"I watched the doctor diagnose and treat problems with teeth," the paper quoted the unidentified man as saying when officials raided his home this week.
"I also saw how he would extract teeth and make models and measurements for dentures."
The 63-year-old man, who convinced his neighbours he was a retired army dentist after being told he was too old to work as a dentist's assistant, charged 20 ringgit (2.88 pounds) for extractions and 130 ringgit for dentures, the paper said.
Health officials seized antibiotics, painkillers, syringes and bottles of Chinese medicine during the raid, but they needed more than six men to carry off his 1940s-era examining chair, tossed away by the Malaysian army in 1978. The paper said the raid occurred after a tip-off.
The man has been arrested for illegally practising dentistry and will face charges under Malaysia's private healthcare facilities and services act. He could face a fine of up to 30,000 ringgit or a six-year jail term, or both.
He did provide one unique service, however. "I also make house visits," he told the paper.

Are Smoke Barrier Doors Required to be Inspected in Hospitals?
Q: Do doors in smoke barriers in healthcare occupancies have to be tested and inspected? Section 184.108.40.206.2 of the 2012 Life Safety Code says smoke door assemblies have to be inspected and tested in accordance with NFPA 105.
A: Well, the answer is no… Smoke barrier doors that are non-rated are not required to be inspected annually in healthcare occupancies, even though 184.108.40.206.2 says they do. Here's why:
- Section 184.108.40.206 says doors in smoke barriers shall comply with 8.5.4 and all of the following: 1) Doors shall be self-closing; 2) Latching hardware is not required; and 3) The doors do not have to swing in direction of travel.
- Section 220.127.116.11 says where required by chapters 11 through 43, doors in smoke barriers that are required to be smoke leakage-rated shall comply with section 126.96.36.199. [NOTE: Chapters 18 & 19 for healthcare occupancies do not require smoke leakage-rated doors in smoke barriers…. Therefore, compliance with section 22.214.171.124 is not required.]
- Section 188.8.131.52(4) says where door assemblies are required elsewhere in the Code to be smoke leakage-rated, door assemblies shall be inspected in accordance with 22.214.171.124.
CONCLUSION: Since the healthcare occupancy chapters do not require smoke barrier doors to be smoke leakage-rated, then there is no requirement to be compliant with 188.8.131.52.2 that says the smoke doors need to be inspected.
Section 18.104.22.168 says where specific requirements contained in chapters 11 through 43 differ from general requirements contained in chapters 1 through 4 and from chapter 6 through 10, then the requirements of chapters 11 through 43 govern. Since the healthcare chapters do not require smoke barrier doors to be smoke leakage-rated, then it conflicts with section 18.104.22.168.5.2, and when that happens, you follow the occupancy chapter requirements.
The problem is… not all authorities having jurisdictions (AHJs) knew this or understood this. Case in point: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) had instructed their state agency Life Safety surveyors that all smoke doors in healthcare occupancies need to be tested and inspected, citing section 22.214.171.124.2.
In addition, CMS also taught their LS surveyors that doors in healthcare occupancies that meet the requirements of 126.96.36.199.1 have to be tested as well, which is not entirely true. These doors identified in 18.104.22.168.1 only have to be tested in assembly occupancies, educational occupancies, or residential board & care occupancies. The exception is, some hospitals have mixed occupancies that include the requirements for assembly occupancies, so in those cases, yes, the doors in 188.8.131.52.1 would have to be tested and inspected on an annual basis.
But on July 28, 2017, CMS issued S&C memo 17-38 which corrected this error. In this memo, CMS says smoke barrier doors do not have to be tested in healthcare occupancies. So, they saw an inconsistency with the 2012 Life Safety Code, and corrected their position. They even admitted some confusion on their part regarding door testing in general and decided to extend the date that the first fire door test is due from July 5, 2017 to January 1, 2018. But be careful with that: Not all AHJs are moving the date that the first fire door test is required.
You can expect a similar announcement from Joint Commission, if it hasn't happened already. I've been told they will changed their standards to reflect what CMS has said.

What is a sinus infection? Well, it is an infection or inflammation of the nasal sinuses. But when you're suffering from one yourself, you're going to search high and low for a sinus cure to get you back to your daily life. When you think about how to cure sinus infection problems, there are many different homeopathic ways to get rid of sinus infections, allowing you to stick to your guns about using holistic ways of healing.
As you're looking for homeopathic remedies or an herbal treatment for sinus pressure, you're going to wonder if it is possible to get rid of a sinus infection this way. While it may not be possible to cure a sinus infection, you can send all of the symptoms running with a few herbal or homeopathic remedies.
Garlic is one of the leading suggestions due to its natural antibiotic and antifungal properties. However, with the addition of tea tree oil, eucalyptus, and pau d'arco you can use this steam-bath as a means to break up the mucus that has made your nasal passages its new home.
A few other popular treatments for sinus infections are grapefruit seed oil, neti pot nasal irrigation, saline nasal sprays, and rubs to help break up what is clogging your system. While these aren't going to always work for everyone, it is generally a great start to the road of recovery, especially since your doctor will probably suggest over the counter medications that are meant to do exactly what these homeopathic treatments will do naturally.
As always, I will suggest homeopathic or herbal remedies for the simple fact that they are all natural and will give you the opportunity to ride out your cold or sinus infection without having to lean too heavily on modern medication for such a simple problem. That however, isn't to say that you shouldn't see your physician if you have problems with chronic sinus infections.

Nopol: Automatic Repair of Conditional Statement Bugs in Java Programs
Nopol: Automatic Repair of Conditional Statement Bugs in Java Programs
We propose NOPOL, an approach to automatic repair of buggy conditional statements (i.e., if-then-else statements). This approach takes a buggy program as well as a test suite as input and generates a patch with a conditional expression as output. The test suite is required to contain passing test cases to model the expected behavior of the program and at least one failing test case that reveals the bug to be repaired. The process of NOPOL consists of three major phases. First, NOPOL employs angelic fix localization to identify expected values of a condition during the test execution. Second, runtime trace collection is used to collect variables and their actual values, including primitive data types and objected-oriented features (e.g., nullness checks), to serve as building blocks for patch generation. Third, NOPOL encodes these collected data into an instance of a Satisfiability Modulo Theory (SMT) problem; then a feasible solution to the SMT instance is translated back into a code patch. We evaluate NOPOL on 22 real-world bugs (16 bugs with buggy IF conditions and 6 bugs with missing preconditions) on two large open-source projects, namely Apache Commons Math and Apache Commons Lang. Empirical analysis on these bugs shows that our approach can effectively fix bugs with buggy IF conditions and missing preconditions. We illustrate the capabilities and limitations of NOPOL using case studies of real bug fixes.

PHILIPPINES — The Philippines President, Rodrigo Duterte, and the Việt Nam Embassy in the Philippines, on Wednesday, co-hosted a ceremony to send five Vietnamese fishermen back to the country.
At Sual Port in Pangasinan Province, the five fishermen were in a fishing boat, numbered PY 96173 TS, which was towed into international waters by the Philippines Marine Police, according to the newspaper Tuổi Trẻ (Youth)
Speaking at the event, Duterte said that the government and relevant authorities had completed all the procedures and supported the fishermen to go back, considering humanity values and friendship between the two countries.
Lý Quốc Tuấn, the Vietnamese Ambassador to the Philippines, expressed his appreciation towards Duterte and the Philippines government's efforts to assist the Vietnamese fishermen.
Early last month, the bodies of two other dead fishermen of the PY-96173-TS fishing boat were transferred to Việt Nam.
According to the Việt Nam Embassy in Manila, the Philippines government said that Phú Yên-based fishing boat numbered PY 96173 TS was illegally operating in Pangasinan Province's waters from September 22 to 23 and had attempted to attack the Philippines Marine Police's PS19 ship after being chased.
The Philippines Marine Police shot the fishing boat when they were about to hit the force's ship. — VNS

My mother taught me to use "cream of tarter" when I first could feel a urinary tract infection coming on. I take about 1 tablespoon and mix it with about 1 cup water, then I follow with a couple more cups of plain water. This has always worked for me and now my daughters use this when they feel one coming on.
Now that I have it, I am allerting the people I know to try it. Putting things to the test is always the best Idea. So if anyone trys this please let me know if it worked or not.

The new Subaru Ascent can be a new person in the marketplace, in fact, it is constantly difficult for best types to hold the rate with new forces. Nonetheless, the Japanese clients are able to achieve this, particularly because they plan the all-new 2021 Toyota Highlander.
So, when you should assume Highlander's redesign? In 2021, it seems like. The 2021 Toyota Highlander can look yet again like a hybrid. Even so, the SUV will make use of an entirely various concept.

Soon after seven several years, the main facelift is about the way.

Winter had finally arrived in the Netherlands. January 19 of 2016 finally felt appropriate in terms of temperature. Care had to be taken to not slip and fall, a thin layer of ice started forming on lakes and canals, and people's breath created little clouds of fog.
It took some getting used to, as 2015 was unusually warm. It just didn't start to cool off as the months progressed, like the seasons shifted forward a couple of months. Instead of ice-skating down the frozen canals, people enjoyed a beer outside in the sunshine in November.
December felt more like Autumn: moderately warm, gray skies and lots of rain.
This was randomly on my mind as we rolled down the highway on the way to Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam. My folks were dropping me off there, as I moved back in with them after quitting my job and leaving my apartment in the city a month earlier. At age 29, moving back in with the folks wasn't the most usual thing to do, as my friends around me started settling down (if they hadn't already), getting mortgages on houses, and, holy shit, producing children.
Australia grants working holiday visas to people up to age 30, which meant this was literally a case of now or never. Through the years I've come to the conclusion it's better to regret things you did than things you didn't; at least you know what might have been, and every mistake is a potential learning moment.
Australia will be my last stop, but not before hitting Seoul, South Korea; Tokyo, Japan; Taipei, Taiwan, and Boracay on the Philippines.
Going on a trip like this has been on my mind for as long as I remember, and after three years of working an office job, I had saved up enough money to make it happen. No pain, no gain, and all that stuff.
Saying goodbye was pretty heavy, as this was going to be a very long trip with an open ending (one-way ticket). I had already spent an evening in my favorite bar with all my friends the week before. Now it was hugs and tears at the gate with my parents and sister. I checked my bag and went through security, and that would be the last time I'd see them for a long time.
After killing some time at the gate, it was time to board the airport bus to flight KL1771: Amsterdam to Frankfurt. When I went through the revolving door to get on the bus, the cold wind hardened my face, and my nostrils filled with the distinctive smell of kerosene. The sun was bright and the sky was clear; it was a beautiful winter day.
I noticed the bus that took me to the plane ran on electricity. Solar power, even, or so it was written on the side. Interesting times we live in.
The flight itself was short, pleasant, and uneventful. After I landed, I had a Big Mac in the food court of Frankfurt airport. No matter where you go, it really tastes the same everywhere. While waiting for my connecting flight, I started typing out this post in a half-empty terminal lit up by fluorescent lights.
The boarding call came after an hour, first in Korean, then in English. I immediately noticed I literally was the only white guy in line. I got some stares, as I also was easily the tallest. That's kinda nice. I guess you could call that Dutch Privilege. As I looked over the heads with almost exclusively black, straight hair through the window outside, I saw the mighty Boeing 747 standing in the dark on the runway. Still one of the most beautiful planes ever made.
Asiana Airlines. I'd never heard of them before and for some reason figured it was a budget airline, but when I walked into the plane, I was pleasantly surprised. Easily one of the nicest coach classes I've ever been in. Comfortable seats, plenty of leg-room, and big screens. They officially have my endorsement. As a bonus, the seat beside me was empty.
Getting on the plane went down as usual, although I wasn't really there with my head. By the time the plane took off, it slowly started to dawn on me, as I stared blankly at the screen that told me we were 11 hours away from Incheon Airport, South Korea.
"Damn… I'm actually doing this right now…"

Natural disasters strike when least expected. Such calamities often catch most small businesses off guard. This explains why close to a quarter of small businesses today are unable to get back on the feet in the wake of a major disaster. Most businesses are at risk of either a natural or manmade disaster. As such, planning for the post-disaster recovery will go a long way in ensuring your business gets back on its feet after disaster strikes. Having the right insurance policies is apparently the best way to prepare for disaster. Here are four types of insurance policies every business should have.
Insurance policies for small businesses
Commercial general liability insurance
General liability insurance is ordinarily the first type of insurance policy most businesses purchase. This is attributed to the fact it is often a mandatory requirement before signing commercial leases and other business contracts. Ideally, general insurance policy serves to protect your business from third party claims resulting from bodily injuries, operational losses, or property damage emanating from your business operations. Who needs general liability coverage anyway? Consider getting this coverage if you or your employees do the following:
- You interact with clients at a personal level
- Access client equipment's
- Represent your clients in any way
- If you sign any contracts
Property insurance
Unlike general liability insurance, which only covers third parties, property insurance covers losses and property damage resulting from different events. Losses linked to break-ins, vandalism, and natural calamities, are often covered. As a tip, it is advisable to go through the policy document and know what is insured before making a decision.
From a business perspective, the term property is very broad and can be used to refer to buildings, company assets, records or even supplies. Thus, you need to be very specific when choosing property insurance to ensure all possible risks are covered. Ideally, understanding all risks and their potential implications should form the basis of making this financial move to protect your business.
Health insurance
Health insurance is a must for small businesses looking to grow. There are many benefits accrued to having a health insurance plan for your employees. It can help you attract and retain top talent, improve employee productivity, along with savings on tax credits and deductions.
Health insurance can also help you lower some of your operational costs considering that most employees are willing to take a lower salary when health insurance benefits are offered by the insurer. You do not have to go shopping for health insurance quotes after disaster strikes. Being proactive and providing required cover to employees will help you gain a competitive edge over other businesses.
Business interruption insurance
This type of insurance policy serves to protect small business owners from lost or reduced earnings in the case of a disaster. Ideally, this means that you are assured of income even after disaster strikes. So, if the stock is consumed by an insured peril, business interruption coverage can help recover lost revenue.
This coverage is also meant to help the business meet some of its financial obligations resulting from the loss. For instance, this insurance might help relocate to a new residence because of a natural calamity by settling any related costs. You pre-loss earning form the basis of reimbursement under the business interruption coverage.
It is your responsibility as a business owner to ensure everyone, and everything in your business is cared for and protected. Investing in a decent amount of coverage comes with peace of mind. This calls for extensive research and purchasing the right insurance policies. Every business faces its unique risks. However, the insurance policy discussed in this article should be considered by every company regardless of its size, industry or location.

The Youngstown Vindicator, July 24
It's premature to declare victory as Congress works to protect the Great Lakes from President Donald Trump's proposed elimination of $300 million in funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, but action taken last week by the House Appropriations Committee is encouraging.
By a 30-21 vote, the committee restored $300 million for the GLRI to the budget. Many of the "no" votes such as that of U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Howland, D-13th, weren't opposed to the $300 million restoration, but to other cuts made to Environmental Protection Agency funding.
But seven years of aggressive efforts to undo decades of abuse suffered by the lakes is only a start. Continued funding is needed to protect the lakes against invasive species, to restore wildlife habitats, to clean up watersheds polluted by Rust Belt industries in the past and agricultural runoff today.
The Great Lakes are an underappreciated asset, both for the region and the neighborhood. The day will come when people – perhaps even President Trump – realize that if the goal is to manufacture things in the United States, the place to do it is in the Great Lakes Region. Water is our most important natural resource.

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer, July 22
Chris Spielman, the storied linebacker who played for the famed football factories of Massillon High School, Ohio State University and (briefly) the Cleveland Browns, has fired the latest salvo aimed at disintegrating the one-way relationship between the bureaucrats who rule bigtime college football and the players who make their jobs possible.
Furthermore, it can (and should) be argued that student athletes already benefit from scholarships, from the chance to get a valuable college degree and, for those who might be heading toward a professional career, from the pre-professional sports development support and training they get, particularly in elite college programs, such as OSU's.
But the OSU banner controversy highlights today's reality that elite student athletes also help make money — big money — for their collegiate institutions, and for the NCAA itself. There are ways to conceive of compensation, both from college athletic and tournament earnings, and from outside sources — for instance, from endorsements or for off-season play, as suggested in a 1994 Brigham Young University Education and Law Journal article — that could help level the playing field.

The Lima News, July 21
The discussion about "buffer zones" outside abortion clinics has nothing to do about the controversy surrounding the planned death of a fetus. It has everything to do with your First Amendment rights.
That's something a federal court judge in Louisville and council members in Toledo ought to really think about before proceeding.
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is pretty clear about not making laws "abridging the freedom of speech." It also is pretty clear about the "right of the people peaceably to assemble."
As long as the "sidewalk counselors," as the Citizens for Community Values likes to call the protesters, are standing on public property and not physically injuring people using the services of these facilities, the government should frankly stay out of it.
Even if you don't agree with their protests, you should protect their right to protest. Once you take away their right to be there, you're giving the government permission to take away your right to protest whatever injustices you see in the world.

Four of those routes are from the UK, with 20 flights a week this summer to Cyprus and Greece.
"We are delighted to take BSP live in the UK, which brings us even closer to the travel trade and our customers," says Paul Simmons, CCO of Cobalt Air. "Now, hundreds of IATA accredited travel agencies all over the UK will be able to sell and issue electronic tickets on our domestic, European and Middle East network. We have more exciting initiatives coming up in the near future to further enhance our offering to our passengers."
Cobalt Air is already on the Sabre Global Distribution System and is currently working to join AMADEUS GDS within the next few weeks.

27 Feb Interview with a COA Refugee Facilitator: Farah Barakat
Farah Barakat, a refugee and immigrant facilitator with COA Lebanon, puts relating with her participants first in during orientation sessions. COA connected with Farah in Beirut, where she discusses the value of humour, puts on the hat of a motivational speaker, and tells us about heart-to-hearts she had with former COA participants from their new homes in Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary.
Farah BarakatCOA Facilitator
How did you become a facilitator with the Canadian Orientation Abroad (COA) Program? How long have you been a facilitator with COA?
During a youth program I participated in back in 2015, one of the graduation requirements was to complete 80 hours of service in a humanitarian organization. I applied to one of the on-call opportunities at IOM, as an outreach officer working with family reunification cases (under the Dutch CO-NAREIS project). At that time, COA was in the process of recruiting additional staff. I saw the announcement and applied. I was hired as an administrative support staff and back-up facilitator. I just loved interacting with participants, and in less than one year, I became a full-time refugee facilitator.
How do you engage the participants during the sessions? How is your facilitation style different from other facilitators?
Each facilitator has his/her own style. It all depends on one's personality, life experiences, cumulative knowledge and social skills. For me, being a dynamic individual, I like my COA session room to be full of positive energy. Recalling how it was for me as a student, I remember how I preferred teachers who kept me focused. I admired those with an engaging teaching style. I liked those teachers who interacted with their students, created a dialogue, and gave credit to students who participated. This is exactly what I do with participants in my COA sessions. Sharing some aspects of my Canadian knowledge and experience with them also plays a big role in keeping them engaged, as does listening to their personal stories and the experiences they share. I challenge them and open a space for appropriate debate of relevant topics between 2 differing views. People usually pay more attention during debates and they join the discussion, share their opinions and take a position. Moreover, I believe that humour is the best way to keep people connected…people love to laugh! It is something our Middle Eastern participants enjoy and it creates a great spirit in the session room.
What does it entail to be a facilitator and provide pre-arrival orientation to newcomers?
First, to be a facilitator is to be a people-oriented person. Participants need a platform where they can express themselves freely without worrying they will be rejected. They simply need respect. I make my participants feel important. I put myself in their shoes and imagine myself on the journey with them. To keep up with our participants from all walks of life and levels of education, one needs to be knowledgeable about all aspects of life in Canada, and about their resettlement in Canada. Our job is not a specialization we learn at university or a course we take in an institute. It is a noble job and our role requires a fair amount of experience, as many of the questions addressed during a session demand readiness to give a clear answer. We are working with people with vast, often very tragic, and complicated life experiences. They have knowledge and cumulative experience and one needs to be capable of managing a session room full of diversity. Facilitators must remain approachable, open-minded, and respectful of everyone's opinions. As a COA facilitator, I treat every group as one of a kind and always remind myself to live in the moment, as there are never two groups with the same group dynamics.
Who are the participants that you serve in COA Lebanon? Are you still in touch with your previous participants?
At COA Lebanon, we serve adult and youth refugees as well as immigrants. I am responsible for delivering the refugee curriculum to both adults and youth refugees. Our participants are mostly Syrian and Iraqi refugees residing in Lebanon and waiting to be resettled in Canada. Life in Lebanon is not easy; it is demanding and expensive compared to other countries in the region. Our beneficiaries are tired and they need someone who will bring back hope to their life. I rarely recall a group leaving without asking for a phone number, an email address or a Facebook link so they can stay in touch. I myself also need to stay in contact and to follow up on their settlement, integration, and learn more about their challenges and successes. I am grateful because I have learned so much from former participants who find success in Canada. Most recently, I came back from a trip to Canada in which I visited Toronto, Montreal and Calgary, and met more than 7 former participants. They shared their stories with me. It was like I put on a pair of eyeglasses and saw everything more clearly through their eyes. It really matters that we keep in contact so we can continue to improve our work. Being a COA facilitator is not necessarily a job that ends once we have distributed our COA certificates of completion.
What do you find the most challenging in being a COA facilitator? What do you find the most rewarding?
The most challenging part is it is hard to manage participants' expectations. Many want to become self-reliant as fast as possible. People tend to worry when it comes to work and affording the day-to-day cost of living in Canada. It is always a sensitive topic, especially for those who do not speak a word of English/French, and when we have doctors, engineers, and lawyers in the session room. I like to be realistic, but with a touch of positivity. Sometimes I feel like I wear the hat of a TED motivational speaker! It is also challenging to manage a group with many diverse backgrounds in terms of nationality, religion, age and level of education. But this diversity can be turned into success when the facilitator is able to find a common ground that keeps all these people connected and in harmony.
I love my job and I count my blessings. When I see the appreciation of a group of people that considers me to be a part of their journey, I always feel fortunate for playing a role in their new lives. It is so rewarding to make such a difference in one's life and to leave a positive impact on them. COA stresses the importance of volunteering and giving to others in need in Canada. It is always a rewarding moment when a participant says that although the concept of volunteering may be foreign, they do wish to be part of this giving back to Canada as soon as they can.

What Guys Want You To Know About Online Dating, According To Comedians Jake Hurwitz & Amir Blumenfeld
It's 2016 and meeting someone through a friend or serendipitously running into your old crush at the DMV has been replaced with a strange and unusual mating ritual that begins (and often ends) with a swipe, match, and "hey there ;)". The dating scene for straight Millennial women now consists of an endless supply of men within a five-mile radius who've all volunteered in exotic lands, enjoy a magnitude of socially acceptable hobbies that are best enjoyed shirtless, and are "laid back with a bit of a dorky side." Technology has provided, right?
Turns out, that despite the initial thrill of possessing the equivalent of a Sears Christmas catalogue of "partners in crime" on your phone, the contradiction of choice overload mixed with legions of chill bro clones has led to a dating scene that can feel downright depressing sometimes. And what's worse is that the struggle to find love online has magnified the gender divide. Rants about how "guys on Tinder are the total worst" are the new mimosas of brunch conversation. I'll be the first to admit that I, a single woman who's unsuccessfully stumbled through the online dating scene for five years, self-identify as one of those finger-pointing, man hatin' ranters (but not at brunch, I don't do expensive eggs).
Enter comedians and my new forced friends Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld. You may know them from their long-running CollegeHumor series Jake & Amir or from their weekly podcast If I Were You, in which the self-attested unqualified duo provide advice on everything from losing virginity to unread texts to their loyal listenership. Back in April, they launched Lonely & Horny, an original Vimeo series that explores online dating and Millennial dating culture, albeit through the eyes of the embarrassingly horrible protagonist Ruby Jade.
With all that's wrong with today's dating culture on their mind combined with their experiences as 30-something men who've dated in both NYC and LA (surprisingly, neither of them are Aziz Ansari!), I thought they'd be the right guys to answer my most pressing questions about online dating from a guys' perspective. But first, check out their appearance on Bustle's Sex and Relationships podcast, I Want It That Way:
1. What Guys Swipe Left On
All humans are prone to being judgmental monsters. Science even agrees, with researchers determining that first impressions are made in only 1/10th of a second, a phenomenon that explains our urge to haphazardly reject person after person on dating apps. But what moves our thumbs to the left is different for all of us. Amir is staunchly anti-screenshot. "If a lady has a really low-res photo as her main picture, then the next photo is the same photo but in a slightly different position, that's an automatic left swipe for me." (Confession I have the exact same policy, and I stand by it.)
As for Jake? He claims to be less critical overall but still admits that he finds it suspect when every photo is a selfie and recommends that we should display a variety of photos, lest the swiper ask themselves "Does this person even have friends?"
2. Profile Photos Dos and Don'ts
There's no debate that the first picture is make-or-break, and while they both gave a stamp of approval to the hotly debated group shot, they disagreed on whether it qualifies as first-picture material. Amir is on team no, while Jake thinks they're worthy of prime real estate because not only does it prove you have friends, but "it's like playing a guessing game." Why not soften the pain of dating apps by adding an element of suspense and childhood fun? Genius!
3. The Best Opening Line Strategies
When faced with no more than an empty chat box and a person who is at that moment no more than a combination of their best pictures, your mutual friends, and witty caption on a screen, breaking the ice can be pretty tough.
Amir has one line that he finds effective enough to call his go-to: "If the other person has a name that's spelled two ways, like "Sarah" I'll say. "Hey Sarah! Don't you hate Saras?" and nine times out of 10, they do!" So get out there and try this line on all of the Johns, Bryans, and Zachs of the world.
Jake's strategy is simple, but effective. "My only consistent go to is that I'll often allude to something from her photos or her bio. It shows that I did the smallest amount of making an effort. And since most guys on Tinder are deplorable, any effort stands out." True, Jake, true.
4. How Guys Really Feel About Women Making The First Move
As if the existence of Bumble wasn't evidence enough, men are not turned off each time a woman makes the first move. In fact, Jake and Amir assured us that it's not only a turn-on—it can be a welcome relief. Jake said, "Yeah, I don't even think twice about it. Sometimes it's nice to have the pressure taken off a little." But think twice before sending a simple "Hi" because as Jake goes on to explain "All any opening line really has to do for me is ask a question. It's tough to respond to "Hi" with anything substantive."
5. The Best First Date Spot
Now that you've finally made it offline, where to? According to these two, activities are in, but only if you're both likely to bomb at said activity. In an endearing way, naturally. Amir suggests a bar with ping pong or pool, while Jake is all about the bowling alley, a venue with the golden trinity of drinks, food, and a sport most people suck at. However, Amir does advocate for night dates, warning that "daytime hangs feel a little too much like a job interview."
6. When To Text After The First Date
What should you do when you want to express your interest post-date? Amir responded as if this was a non-question, saying "I've waited a few days and I've waited a few minutes. Each has their pros and cons, and there is no rule. If you guys both had an awesome date there's no need to wait." This is great, but it seems too easy for a guy to say, as someone who has not been subjected to the sexist advice women often get about having to wait for guys to make the first move.
Jake, however, was a bit more sympathetic to the plight of an anxious would-be texters. "It's all the worst isn't it?" he says. "I am a fan of just texting when you feel like it. Even if it's been just one day and you wanna see someone. I always think asking something like, "You up to anything fun this week?" is a nice way of hinting that you want to see someone. If date two is fully on life support my go to has been, "Hey ______, I'm going to _______ tonight with some friends from _______. If you're around you should come by!" It's a lot easier to invite someone to a fun thing than a date, and a fun thing can easily turn into a date if you peel off from your crew."
7. How To Turn Someone Down
The popularity of online dating has resulted in rational people suddenly believing in ghosts. And I'm not talking the spooky transparent Civil War soldier kind. You connect with a guy over your mutual love of Freaks and Geeks and then suddenly, ::poof::, your Devon Sawa becomes Casper. So what should you do if you're not interested in someone?
The ideal case, as Jake immediately points out is that "you [go] on a date and neither of you had a good time. Then there's not really a point in writing a rejection text. No one needs to have a bad date and then get broken up with." But in the case that you're not interested in your date and they reach out to you to hang out again, instead of ignoring their text, Jake advises to "deflect and see if they get the hint."
And if they don't? "In the rare case that someone doesn't speak the encoded dating app language I have invented in my head, I usually text that I had a great time meeting them but I'm not in a place where I want to go on more dates at the moment." This advice stung a bit as these were techniques that guys had used on me in the past when they became disinterested. So while I would prefer a more direct approach than deflecting invitations, what I will take from his advice is that guys aren't actively trying to hurt your feelings. In fact they're trying to avoid it.
8. The Benefit Of The Juggling Act
My severe case of incurable oneitis forces me to date one guy at a time and live under the willful delusion that I'm also the only girl he's dating, despite all evidence to contrary. For example, my assumption that a date had deleted every other girl's number from his phone after the first date was once burst after two texts from girls confirming dinner dates appeared on a guy's phone while he was in the bathroom.
As far as the best way to properly and respectfully keep a dating rotation, Amir advises, "If you're single, there's no problem dating multiple people a few times. It actually helps you put less pressure on each individual date knowing you have other ones lined up. But once you're in the three-five date range it's probably time to start choosing your favorite. Or at least letting all parties know what's going on. Maybe they don't care!"
9. When Should You Have Sex With Someone New?
When to sleep together in a new relationship is probably the most discussed topic amongst me and my friends in regards to relationships. An unfortunate truth is that we live in a world where everybody's doin' it, but women are basically told that they'll die under a pile of cats and empty Metamucil cans if they do it outside of the golden window of three dates/one month/before marriage.
Amir takes the more traditional approach of waiting for three dates before having sex: "It's probably safest to wait at least three dates... especially if you like that person. The pre-sex phase is a fun era of a relationship, there's no need to rush through it! And the longer you wait the better it'll feel when it does happen."
Whereas Jake retorts "I don't believe in that. If you want to, and they want to, then everyone wants to and that's really all that matters." I'm still trying to determine where I stand on this issue, but I was relieved to hear that the issue is so divided, so like with many things, it's all about stumbling upon that person you see eye-to-eye with.
The Final Piece Of Advice:
"Most people on dating apps suck," Jake says. "But not everyone! After all, YOU'RE on there and YOU don't suck, right? Try to weed people out through chatting as much as possible, it'll burn you out to go on a ton of bad dates. Don't give up. At the very least apps can serve as a nice distraction as you wait to run into your actual soul mate at an adorable coffee shop." Ah Jake, you make it sound so easy!
