Fernandina Beach Police Dept
Press Release
James T. Hurley, Chief
February 10, 2015 8:24 a.m.
The Fernandina Beach Police Department conducted its annual awards banquet at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club on Friday night, (January 30th), naming the 2014 Officer of the Year, Civilian Employee of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, and Community Service Award recipient.
Officer Mark Ocepek was recognized as the officer of the year, primarily for his good work during the course of the year as a valued member of the combined Nassau County Sheriff's Office/Fernandina Beach Police Department SWAT team, where he also serves as a team medic.
The former member of the United States Navy also acts as a liaison for the police department during land-based operations involving the U.S. Navy. As a Reserve Police Officer he fills in when needed to prevent staffing shortages and to supplement special operations. Although working another full time job, Mark was credited with working more than ninety hours a month for the police department in 2014. In addition, he serves on the police department honor guard and participates as an agency firearms instructor.
Information technology professional Danny Young was named the police department civilian employee of the year for his good work in addressing more than five-hundred IT issues within the agency. As technology becomes more and more integrated into traditional law enforcement equipment, protocols and procedures, the urgency of IT response and the technical proficiency required to maintain them is a constant challenge. During the past year Danny was called upon time after time to respond to the police station or to log in remotely to repair system failures or other issues, such as security, that affect the twenty-four hour a day operations of the police department.
While some of these services were related to maintenance or repair of a single machine, other projects were much more detailed, time consuming, and security sensitive.
Once again, one of our best shining examples of working smarter has been the use of our Police Auxiliary Corps. This group has been a true blessing to the City, providing competent traffic control and a variety of other duties at our many city events, while relieving sworn officers to focus on other concerns. They are seen at events all over the island, so much so that folks actually expect to see them everywhere. In fact, it is now common to receive event applications with PAC volunteers already inserted into the event planning by the event organizers.
In the past few years our Police Auxiliary Corps, which has about 50 active members, has worked hundreds of events, committing several thousand hours of volunteer time and effort to this community. This group is a tremendous asset and much of their recent success might be attributed to our original board of directors, who deserve a bit of public recognition: Steve Filkoff, John Harris, Don McFadyen, Charles Mitchell, Paul Booton, Mary Ruark, Bob Keller, Jack Dickison, and David Blacklock. This group is responsible for establishing the support organization that we have in place today.
During the past year we have formed the Fernandina Beach Police Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The new "Police Foundation" sets the policy and controls for the Police Auxiliary Corps, the Police Chaplaincy program, the "S-35" Officer Assistance Program, the Shop with Cops program, and our new "Citizens Police Academy," which we hope to offer next fall. The new Police Foundation board consists of Chair Harry Kegler, Vice Chair Jody Mackle, Secretary Wendy Langley, Treasurer Mack McAllister, and Directors Lavinia Williams, Judith Lane and Mike Mickler.
Most of our volunteers contribute at large-scale events, such as the many parades and festivals that we host in our City, and their effort is most appreciated. Some participate in almost every event held in the City. These members are truly extraordinary!
Although it is always difficult to select one individual from so many worthy volunteers, Gary Eversole was chosen as the 2014 Volunteer of the Year. Gary joined the group in 2012 and worked eight events that year. In 2013 he worked forty-nine events and in 2014 he worked thirty-four events. According to board members, Gary is a tireless volunteer, often working many extra hours without requiring a break. He also works the school traffic control detail every week, rain or shine, and often fills in when someone is needed.
Mr. Jack Heard of Oxley-Heard Funeral Home was selected as our Community Service Award recipient for his long and positive relationship with the City, the Fernandina Beach Police Department, and our individual officers. In 2014 Mr. Heard donated a 2003 Limited Edition Mercury Marauder to the police department, which has become an important component of our School Resource Officer program at the high school. The vehicle has taken on the "Pirate" persona and makes regular appearances around town and at sporting events.
Mr. Heard presented SRO Al Smith with a framed newspaper account of the vehicle and a one of a kind leather driving jacket that was designed for owners of the Mercury Marauder.

- Sales Rank: #7683687 (See Top 100 Books)
What will data management technologies look like in ten years? While the future's difficult to predict, this book provides students, researchers and professionals alike with a brief and engaging look at one prescient trend: the convergence of search and database technologies. This convergence has given rise to a new breed of non-relational ('NoSQL') databases and data stores, and to a new generation of search engines that share characteristics with both non-relational and relational databases. It is this new type of engine that supports Search Based Applications (SBAs), which are software applications built on a search rather than
database backbone. SBAs offer a pragmatic way to solve both well-known and emerging information management challenges as of now, while shedding light on what tomorrow's information systems might look like.
Table of Contents: Search Based Applications / Evolving Business Information Access Needs / Origins and Histories / Data Models and Storage / Data Collection/Population / Data Processing / Data Retrieval / Data Security, Usability, Performance, Cost / Summary Evolutions and Convergences / SBA Platforms / SBA Uses and Preconditions / Anatomy of a Search Based Application / Case Study: GEFCO / Case Study: Urbanizer / Case Study: National Postal Agency / Future Directions

As the proverbial saying goes; "All good things must come to an end."
And for the Michigan State Men's Basketball Team, those words echo all too clearly.
One year removed from an improbable title-run, Michigan State will be without star-center and rebounding-crutch Goran Suton, (pictured) due to graduation. Evaporated with his departure are 10 PPG, 8 REB, and an ability to drain the occasional three-point shot.

VIDEO: Verne Troyer Wins In Court, Restraining Order Against Him Removed
Dec. 2 2009, Published 5:30 a.m. ET
Score one for the little guy. Yvette Monet's attempt to get a temporary restraining order against Verne Troyer made permanent was denied by a Los Angeles County judge on Wednesday.
Verne and Yvette dated for several months. In court, he told the judge that Monet became "obsessed" with him and wanted to have children, but he broke off the affair in September. A month later she called to "wish me luck," Troyer said. "She told me she was getting married."
Two days later, Yvette shocked the actor by requesting and being granted a TRO against him.
Verne Troyer Slapped With Restraining Order
The court ruled it was not necessary to extend the protection order.

Analyzing Company Partnerships and Trends in Today's Market
In today's dynamic business landscape, company partnerships play a critical role in shaping industries and driving growth. Analyzing these partnerships and identifying emerging trends can provide valuable insights into market dynamics, strategic priorities, and potential opportunities for organizations.
In this article, we will explore the importance of analyzing company partnerships and examine some of the key trends shaping today's market.
Why Analyzing Company Partnerships is Important
Analyzing company partnerships offers several benefits for organizations and industry observers:
- Identifying Industry Patterns: Analyzing partnerships helps identify patterns and trends within specific industries or sectors. By examining the types of partnerships being formed, the industries involved, and the goals pursued, organizations can gain a better understanding of the competitive landscape and potential shifts in market dynamics.
- Uncovering Strategic Priorities: Company partnerships provide insights into the strategic priorities of organizations. By analyzing the types of partnerships formed and the objectives they aim to achieve, observers can gain valuable information about companies' focus areas, such as market expansion, technology adoption, innovation, or resource optimization.
- Assessing Market Disruptions: Partnerships can be indicative of market disruptions or emerging technologies. Analyzing partnerships can reveal areas where organizations are seeking external expertise or access to new markets, signaling potential disruptions or shifts in industry dynamics. This knowledge allows organizations to adapt their strategies and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
- Identifying Potential Collaborative Opportunities: Analyzing partnerships can help identify potential collaborative opportunities for organizations. By understanding the types of partnerships that are successful and the value they create, organizations can identify potential partners with whom they can collaborate to drive innovation, enter new markets, or leverage shared resources.
- Staying Ahead of Competitors: Studying partnerships provides insights into competitors' activities and strategies. By analyzing the partnerships formed by competitors, organizations can identify potential threats, anticipate market moves, and develop proactive strategies to stay ahead of the competition.
Key Trends in Company Partnerships
Several key trends are shaping company partnerships in today's market:
- Technology and Digital Transformation: Partnerships centered around technology and digital transformation are on the rise. Organizations are collaborating to leverage emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing. These partnerships aim to drive innovation, enhance operational efficiencies, and deliver advanced digital solutions to customers.
- Ecosystem Partnerships: Organizations are increasingly forming ecosystem partnerships, bringing together multiple companies from different sectors to create comprehensive solutions. These partnerships leverage the strengths and expertise of each organization to deliver integrated offerings that meet complex customer needs. Examples include collaborations between automakers and technology companies to develop autonomous driving systems.
- Cross-Industry Collaborations: Traditional industry boundaries are blurring as organizations seek partnerships outside their sectors. Cross-industry collaborations enable companies to tap into new markets, access diverse customer bases, and foster innovation through the exchange of ideas and expertise. For instance, healthcare companies partnering with technology firms to develop wearable health devices.
- Sustainability and Social Impact: Partnerships focused on sustainability and social impact are gaining prominence. Organizations are joining forces to address pressing global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and inequality. Partnerships with a shared commitment to social responsibility not only drive positive change but also enhance brand reputation and customer loyalty.
- International and Global Partnerships: With the increasing globalization of business, organizations are forming partnerships on an international scale. These partnerships aim to access new markets, leverage local expertise, and navigate regulatory complexities. International collaborations provide opportunities for organizations to expand their reach and explore new growth avenues.
- Startup and Corporate Collaborations: Startups and established corporations are entering into partnerships to drive innovation and agility. Startups bring fresh ideas, disruptive technologies, and entrepreneurial spirit, while corporations offer resources, market access, and scalability. Such collaborations foster innovation and enable organizations to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
- Data Sharing and Collaboration: Data-driven partnerships are becoming more prevalent as organizations recognize the value of data. Partnerships focused on data sharing and collaboration allow organizations to leverage the power of analytics, gain insights, and enhance decision-making. Industries such as healthcare, finance, and retail are increasingly forming data partnerships to drive innovation and deliver personalized experiences to customers.
Analyzing company partnerships and understanding the trends shaping today's market is crucial for organizations seeking to navigate the complex business landscape successfully. By studying partnerships, organizations can uncover valuable insights, identify industry patterns, assess market disruptions, and discover collaborative opportunities.
Staying informed about emerging trends enables organizations to adapt their strategies, foster innovation, and stay ahead of competitors. Moreover, recognizing key partnership trends allows organizations to proactively seek partnerships that align with their strategic objectives and leverage the collective power of collaboration in driving growth and success.

Tied with his body on display, gagged, flogged, CBT, wanked till he's hard, breath control, fucked, left in tears.
Young Vincent is at the height of his physical and sexual prime. He shouldn't be wasted by being locked away in his bedroom hunched over an algebra book. Strung up while wearing only his tight white pants and his hard muscular body on show is a much better use of this stud's time. Good boy Vincent isn't entirely sure so he's given a hard lesson in how to display himself and please the perverted men who desire him. Dave cuts his underwear off and gags the mouthy fucker. He seizes control of Vincent's silky dick and tugs on it much to the boy's disgust. To teach this cocky little fucker some real humility Dave gives him a lashing he won't forget. He adds stripes to the lad's toned and muscular torso, back and arse.
Vincent is made to open his legs wide so Dave can flog his heavy testicles and cock. His butt is whacked until it's so hot and vibrant red it's twitching. The boy's cock is so sensitive that when Dave seizes and jerks it he can't help himself growing a stiffy. Now that Vincent is nicely warmed up Dave delivers the his hardest lesson roping Vincent's thick muscular neck and shoving his dick up the boy's smooth arsehole. Vincent can grunt and fight with all his might, but that only makes the sensation of being fucked harder.

2020 vision: Why you won't recognize the 'Net in 10 years
To borrow from John Lennon: Imagine there's no latency, no spam or phishing, a community of trust. Imagine all the people, able to get online.
To borrow from John Lennon: Imagine there's no latency, no spam or phishing, a community of trust. Imagine all the people, able to get online.
Forty years after it was invented, the Internet is straining under the weight of cyber attacks, multimedia content and new mobile applications.
While sounding a bit like Chicken Little, US Federal government watchdogs today said that the H1N1 pandemic will cause a significant increase in the use of the Internet by students and teleworkers that would create serious network access congestion.
As the Internet hits 40 this week, it's not difficult to look back and see the changes it's brought to the world.
Warning: Reading this story may be hazardous to your productivity. The Web sites within may divert you from the dull tasks in need of your attention and may cause you to goof off for hours instead.
For just a moment, forget Google Chrome OS, the new Windows 7 and all the online hoopla about the shocking death of Michael Jackson. Those happenings aren't the reasons I love the Internet. Instead, to me, the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing this weekend is Exhibit A in the evidence files that show the real beauty of the Web and its amazing technology that brings the world to each of us on our computers.
Just because you don't have a large enterprise doesn't mean you can't run your IT operation like the big guys. Here are seven ways to help your SMB--a small or medium-size business--implement some of the lessons big IT operations have learned over the years. Using these tips, you should be able to improve productivity, cut costs, and keep your business running smoothly.

King Nick Rob perceptibly saved his best sonic moves for his RnB hip hop track, Poppy Show. The slick with seduction dancehall grooves are just as aphrodisiacal as the bars that perfectly capture the heat of the moment, but this sexually-charged rendezvous delves far beyond superficial affection, becoming the ultimate drunk-in-love hip hop playlist staple for 2022.
Even at this early stage of his career, the Long Island, NY native is proving that he's got what it takes to smooth talk (harmonise) his way into the charts.
Poppy Show is now available via SoundCloud and Apple Music.

You people are amazing.
It only took a couple of days after posting my video with Addy, and she was going home.
The posting and reposting of this story, from here on the website to my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds, put this little girl's beautiful face out there for the world to see.
When I walked into the Petco store to check up on her progress, there was her new Mom, her new sisters and friends, getting ready to take her home. As I understand, the family is local and has already started new obedience training with her at the same store.
The outpouring of support, well wishes, hopes and prayers was absolutely mind-blowing. I received notes from comments from around the world as people were sharing Addy's story, trying however they could to seek a connection that would get her to a new home.
It won't be easy for her. Addy's had a difficult life already. From a stray puppy to a shelter, to a home where her new Mom had a health condition and no one to help, back to the shelter, to a couple that likely had good intentions but failed to dedicate themselves to the needs of this energetic girl, back to the shelter and a foster home, and finally into the arms of what will be her forever home.
It's a cautionary tale for us all when it comes to adopting these wonderful animals. They have emotions, just like us, and sometimes those emotions are frayed with the simple necessities of life. The fact they came so young for Addy might leave her somewhat scarred. From there, it takes a lot of love, a lot of understanding, and a lot of time to bring her into a family. It's the same for every adoptee.
I hope that by making Addy's situation so public, everyone understands that in the end, it's all about saving one life. Just one. We can't save them all. We can't find homes for every pup or every senior. The reality of the task before us seems insurmountable, and forces us to come to grips with reality.
However, every time we save one life, just that one, it will inspire others to do the same. Addy's story will, I sincerely hope, drive everyone to understand how important it is to promote adoption, ensuring that the right people are adoptees and they understand this is not something to be taken lightly. These are precious lives that will return the love a thousand fold. Like so many others, I strongly believe that adopted pets know how lucky they are, and the second chance they've been given.
In Addy's case, it was a third chance. The one that will stick. I know it will. Her first night, finally at home, this was one tired and very happy girl.
Never stop believing you make a difference. Never stop believing that one word, one post, one comment, will inspire others.
Always believe in love, especially when it is so unconditional.
Thanks again to everyone.
Save a life. Just one.
Be amazed at what you can do with just a word or two.
Thanks, Addy. Good girl.

An operator says crews were on site since 7 p.m. and will be there for several hours. The water main was repaired around 10 p.m. and crews continued through the night to patch up the roadway.
The cause of the break is unknown, but police say reasons could be the heat, dry land, a sudden change in water pressure or old pipes. The area has had a few breaks in the past.
Authorities say some customers may experience service interruptions because of the work. It is also a possibility repairs could produce discoloration of water in the area.
OWASA says if water is discolored or has air bubbles, run cold water in a bathtub for about 5 minutes. If this does not clear up, call OWASA at 968-4421.

The hump is a transverse elevation that has one of its functions to make the car reduce its speed so that the pedestrian can travel safely. As well as road signs, garage spines have the same speed-reducing effect in private environments.
Using The Garage Bolt
Traffic rules are also applied to parking lots in commercial establishments, parks, and garages in condominiums. The use of speed bumps for garages does not have a punitive effect on drivers. Still, it serves as a sign of attention that pedestrians are passing there and that, in addition to reducing speed, attention should be redoubled. The rules guarantee the safety of both pedestrians and drivers.
Speed For Garage On Public Roads
The garage spine cannot, under any circumstances, be installed on public roads. A speed bump on a public road sized in contradiction to what is stated in the resolution can cause accidents instead of avoiding them.
Garage Bolt Material
The garage spine can be made of extra hard EVA or steel. Both materials feature excellent resistance to the impact caused by car traffic and ease of maintenance. The EVA spine has a height of 55mm and a width of 200mm, and its length is according to need. The steel spine is 50mm high, and the width and length can be customized. Both can be installed on any floor; however, it is recommended that the EVA spine be applied on internal floors and the steel spine on external floors.
Metal Parking Spine
The metallic parking blocks are used in some establishments, as it is intended for places where there is not only the passage of cars, but also a constant flow of pedestrians, so it is necessary to reduce the speed for accidents with pedestrians and other vehicles are avoided as they travel within the reduced parking space.

The Doerner family is one of the earliest winemaking pioneer families in the Umpqua region. Although the Doerner family owns a vineyard, much of this collection consists of the family's pioneer history.
Adam Doerner was born in Germany in 1858 and came to the Umpqua region late in the 19th century to work on the Winchester Bridge. He planted grapes on his land and began making wine, first for himself and later as a business. Since Prohibition, the family has been growing grapes and making wine off and on.
This collection is a work in progress and will eventually include a video interview, photographs, and documents.

From somebody who has actually been utilizing Clickfunnels and Active Campaign for years, Systeme Io Url Code To Open Popup …
I am extremely satisfied with the software so far. Crazy worth for the cost.
Honestly, the fact that I have the ability to get to pay as low as $27 for a 5,000 email list size makes me a big fan of Systeme.io. I switched from BuilderAll and MailChimp since I wasn't getting the best feature for me in generating leads and making sales
That's what you'll pay in advance for GrooveFunnels' paid strategy. Launch with our Start-up plan for $27/month, because starting a company shouldn't put you in debt from day 1
With GrooveFunnels, you're limited to 5,000 e-mails monthly, unless you sign up for their Platinum Lifetime prepare for a massive $1,997. Systeme.io lets you send out an unrestricted variety of emails for free– forever!
Systeme.io is simpler to use
A few of our customers used to get lost in GrooveFunnels' overcrowded interface. Because signing up with systeme.io they've had the ability to establish their entire organization in just a couple of days
Do not be decreased by software application
According to our customers, GrooveFunnels' overloaded platform features buggy features and super-slow packing times. Systeme.io's simple interface will save you from technical headaches and losing customers
Don't restrict your sales
GrooveFunnels caps the variety of membership site members you can have on their free strategy. Systeme.io lets you have an unrestricted variety of members for free– we will not charge you more just because you're.
Unlike Kartra's 14-day $1 trial, the systeme.io Free strategy is complimentary forever. No charge card required!
Save $2,424 each year.
That's just how much you'll conserve each year if you choose our Unlimited plan over Kartra's Gold plan.
Switched my entire online company to Systeme utilizing their migration service and couldn't be better.
Not only is the platform way much better than my old setup, but I'm likewise saving a lot of cash.
Thanks Aurelian for building this and maintain the good work!
In my viewpoint, it is among the best all-in-one landing page home builders (and far more) available. Even the totally free version goes beyond most paid options. The editor is easy to use, the funnel templates are exceptional, and the media purchasing tracking is precise. I highly suggest it.
The Startup plan is the very first paid strategy you can consider when you wish to scale your business. It features a few included advantages like 3 custom-made domains, up to 10 A/B tests, and custom-made automation rules.
Webinar Systeme Io Url Code To Open Popup
The Webinar plan is perfect for midsize services with devoted consumers. That's because it lets you handle up to 10,000 e-mail contacts at the same time.
Other benefits include the ability to create 100 automation rules and email campaigns and run 50 A/B tests. You also get to produce and manage evergreen webinars– a function that was missing on both the plans mentioned above.
As the name suggests, whatever is unrestricted on this plan, priced at $97/month or $828/year. We advise this plan for established large-scale services and enterprises.
This is the only plan that offers totally free migration support and individually coaching for new users as well.
If you do not desire your online store to experience too much downtime (the duration of inactivity during which the shift occurs), the Unlimited strategy is a no-brainer.

The way I see it, there are essentially four main phases of A.J. Fernández and his career in premium cigars (at least in the eyes of the public). The first comes prior to 2010, with A.J. making a name for himself by blending "catalogue" cigars such as Diesel, Man O' War, and Ave Maria. A.J. became known for a full-bodied blending style, giving him plenty of fans that were eager to support his solo venture with A.J. Fernández Cigar Company….

You're nearly there Josef K Sorry For Laughing Shirt. You know what you're aiming for, have nailed down the budget and got a killer design. The decision about printing method is done and dusted and the plain t-shirts identified and sourced. You can almost feel the freshness of that unique piece of clothing on your back. What about the finishing touches that can turn a quality custom t-shirt into a stunning, stand out branded garment with what some people would say a more premium finish. Removing existing labels and relabelling with custom tags or neck print. Swing tags and tickets? Garment finishing shouldn't be overlooked.
Josef K Sorry For Laughing Shirt, unisex, premium ladies, longsleeve, hoodie and sweater t-shirt
They charge US$32.99 including Free Worldwide Shipping. (Now 20% off for opening sale) Josef K Sorry For Laughing Shirt. I think I read somewhere that it's better for sales figures to show prices without shipping and charge less rather than including the price of shipping in the product. If someone buys five shirts they are pretty much paying shipping for 5 separate items when shipping five t-shirts at once must cost less than shipping five separately.
Anyway, the pricing is not so bad for the quality of the shirt and they detail they have put in but compared to typical souvenir shirts they are not cheap.

Two UF students dressed in banana and grape costumes gave passersby colorful balloons.
With the balloons, students made their own stress balls by filling them up with flour on the Plaza of the Americas as part of activities for Get Fruved's stress-management week.
The group taught students how to de-stress at their "Stress-Ball-Making and Dog-Walk-Taking" event Tuesday afternoon.
Get Fruved stands for "get your fruits and vegetables." The research project aims to improve students' diets, increase their physical activity and educate them on how to manage stress, said Christina Bracey, a member of the group's social marketing intervention team. The movement especially focuses on freshmen.
"We try to make things fun and enjoyable for the freshmen," she said.
At the event, Leeashaa Ramoutar, who is also part of the intervention team, encouraged students to grab balloons and make stress balls. She said the UF chapter of Get Fruved will teach students each week how to live a healthy life.
"We're trying to implement healthier living in mainly freshmen, but also everyone on campus," the 21-year-old said. "It's so important because even something as small as time and stress management, like this, can go a far way in terms of affecting your diet and how you sleep and how you live."
One of the most popular activities at the event was playing with UPD dogs, which can serve as a stress reliever, Sgt. Ellen Duffy said.
"I know a lot of students we meet miss their dogs they leave at home." she said. "Getting the chance to pet a dog and interact with a dog is relaxing and comforting."
The dogs, two Labrador retrievers and a German Shepherd, were trained for explosive detection. But Tuesday, they licked students who kneeled in the grass to play with them.
Three freshmen friends from Fort Myers attended the event together.
UF exploratory student Josey Mayer said she has a Doberman puppy at home and liked playing with the dogs. She smiled and squatted down to pet Rocky, a 6-year-old German shepherd.
"I think dogs are the best way to de-stress," the 18-year-old said.
Her friend, UF criminology and law student Katherine Strange, who has a German shepherd mix back home, also said she was happy to meet Rocky.
"You know when your dog runs to the door excited to greet you?" Strange, 18, said. "I miss that."
Leeashaa Ramoutar hugs Boomer, a 2 1/2-year-old black lab and UPD explosive detection K9 on Oct. 6, 2015. Officer Dale Holmes brought Boomer to Get FRUVED's stress management event on the Plaza of the Americas.
In costume as a bunch of grapes, UF criminology junior and member of Get FRUVED's Grape Team Sam Robinson, 20, fills a balloon with flour to make a stress ball. The event invited students to make the balls and play with dogs Tuesday afternoon to encourage healthy stress management.
Isabel Carrizales, a 21-year-old UF dietetics junior, starts to write "You can do it!" on a handmade stress ball on the Plaza of the Americas on Oct. 6, 2015. Students made the balls with balloons and flour as part of Get FRUVED's Time Management Week.
Students make stress balls out of balloons and flour on the Plaza of the Americas on Oct. 6, 2015. About 75 people stopped to participate in Get FRUVED's stress management activities.

This one's for all the marbles as Texas takes on TCU with the winner going to Omaha and the loser going home. Texas will again be the road team today and it'll be Brandon Workman on the mound. Should Workman get into trouble early we'll likely see Chance Ruffin earlier than we've seen him all season. TCU will counter with Kyle Winkler (11-1, 3.05 ERA) who Texas fans may remember from the first game of last season's Super Regional matchup when Winkler took the loss (5.1 IP, 5 H, 5 R). Game starts at 3 PM.

About the Work
I made a videotape of Red Square in January 1988 but did not start making this work from video stills until 1990. In the centre of the panorama I stuck an old copy of 'Das Kapital' so the tourists lining up to see Lenin's tomb appeared to be lining up to see the tomb of the book. I thought of entitling the work as such. But something made me stick my neck out so I made the work as a memorial to the Soviet Union and prophesied the year of its death as 1991. It was sheer luck I was right.
Size and Material
″I still use the same approach to my work: I get an idea, think of the title and then make the work. So not much has changed since 1964″

Today in the GPWA member directory there are 7,524 portal sites associated with 3,772 members.
Historically our member pages have linked to associated portal sites using http. More recently we have had the ability to note that a site supports https, and thus upon the request of members we have linked to their portal sites using https.
This past weekend we crawled the home page of member portal sites to determine which sites support https and so today we have updated many member portal site links to use https. In total we determined that links to 5,692 portal sites (75.6% of the 7,542 portal sites) could safely be changed to use https.
We also updated portal site host names to add and remove www prefixes based on observing redirects. There are now 4,474 member portal sites (59.5%) that have a prefix of www and 3.050 sites that do not (40.5%). We added a www prefix to 69 member portal sites and removed a www prefix from 209 member portal sites as part of the update.
I invite all GPWA members to update their list of associated websites. You can review your list of websites either on your member page or by visiting the My Portal Sites page under My Account in the top navigation when logged into the GPWA website. If you have a new website that should be added or other updates that should be made, follow the instructions on the My Portal Sites page to let us know.
I encourage everyone to add missing sites to gain the SEO benefit of the links.

A fascinating ecology exists in the world of fighting games. During the 30 years, fighting games have played a part in the gaming industry. Many games released, and revisions and developments in numerous competitions. The words use in fighting games, like positioning, punishing, blocking, and poking, are highly sophisticate. These terminologies may all make sense to experienced fighting game experts, but they may positively perplex newcomers to the genre. So, in order to assist any beginners who may be intereste in diving into the thrilling world of arcade fighters. We've put up a quick guide of basic fighting games.
Fighting Games Basic Things need to know
In order to learn how to block well, you must first comprehend the various features of assaults seen in FGs. High strikes may be deflecte when standing or crouching and dodged by simply crouching. Crouching is required to block low assaults. Mid attacks can be deflecte while standing or crouching, but only crouching will allow you to avoid them. Unblockable attacks can't be stop, so they have to be avoide.
Taking turns
No matter how chaotic they appear, there is an order to things, and everyone gets their turn. You risk getting punished if you do not "respect" turns. There is generally a short window to reclaim your turn before it becomes a 'free for all.' An impartial, both parties are free to take their 'turn' at the exact/any moment, while in attack, the effective attacker is rewarded with another turn. At the same time, the defense must wait for the aggressor's attack to expire before taking his/her turn.
Positional awareness and mobility are essential since your location on the screen dictates which attack possibilities are available to you and your opponent at any moment. You can be near your opponent, at medium range, far away, full screen, or flying at any of the above ranges. Therefore you always need to move in a perfect location on the screen where you have the best advantage over your opponent and move continually to throw off your opponent's aim.
Poking entails employing your quickest, most accurate, and safest strikes/attacks to protect and control the space between you and your enemy. Pokes are relatively safe even when stopped at point-blank range, and they are tough to penalize on a whiff (miss their target).
Punishing refers to capitalizing on possibilities to impose guaranteed damage on your enemy when they engage in a punishable activity. For example, a boxer hitting a right hook at a rival and losing while inside the opponent's attack range places them in an unsecured scenario for a brief period.

Moving to the UK from the US: Step-by-step moving to UK guide
If you're considering moving to the UK, then you'll want to read this moving to UK guide first! Find all you need to know about moving to the UK.
###One in four Portuguese people choose the UK when emigrating.
In fact they're now one of the biggest expat communities in the UK, with 350,000 thought to live in London alone.
Want to join them?
The UK and Portugal have a lot in common. We're the world's oldest allies after all. But there's a few things you need to know.
####Portuguese is more common than you think
You're riding the tube with your Portuguese friend and spot someone with a bad haircut. Or perhaps you fancy the person who's just sat down opposite you.
Be careful gossiping in Portuguese if you think no one else will understand.
Portuguese is the 10th most common language in England and Wales. There are more native speakers of Portuguese here than Spanish, German and Italian.
Some Portuguese expats have discovered this the hard way – and quickly disembarked at the next station.
####Switch coffee for tea
The Portuguese are credited with bringing tea to the UK in the 17th Century. The Brits now drink rather a lot of it. 60 billion cups a year, in fact. That's 900 per person.
If you've just started a new job and want your colleagues to like you then offer to make a round of tea.
Biomedical engineer Gabriela Costa has important advice.
"Make sure you add a splash of milk. Don't pour too much in though. If you serve tea that's too milky then your colleagues will look at you like you've insulted them. In a way, you have."
This video should show you how to make tea the British way.
####Everything closes early
The UK is in the same time zone as Portugal. Technically.
You don't need to reset your watch, but you do need to do everything earlier. The shops tend to close at 6pm. Dinner is around the same time. A 'night' out is really an evening out.
Brits tend to head home from the pub at midnight - and a lot of clubs will close by 2am. That's the same time we start a night out.
####Discussing football
Portugal is much smaller than the UK, but obviously better at football. Brits assume the only explanation is that we are all obsessed with it.
You will now be treated as an expert on football by anyone you meet at the pub. It doesn't matter if you have two left feet and know absolutely nothing.
If Cristiano Ronaldo played last night then you'll definitely be asked for your opinion. Simply say the referee was awful and everyone will agree.
####Feeling homesick?
London even has its own 'Little Portugal'.
Head to south Lambeth Road between Vauxhall and Stockwell stations. It's packed with Portuguese bars, cafes and restaurants. It almost feels like you're in Lisbon. Until it starts raining.
There's thought to be 27,000 Portuguese people living in Lambeth.
####You'll get confused for Spanish. A lot.
Some Brits think Portugal and Spain are "basically the same". Even worse - some think Portugal is inside Spain.
Let's be clear. We love Spain. We're just not Spain.
Brits with better geography might ask you to explain why Brazilians speak Portuguese instead. See if they can explain British colonial history afterwards.
####British nationalities explained
Portugal is Portugal. That's easy to understand. The UK is a bit more complicated.
The country's full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It's often shortened to Great Britain, but 'Britain' is just the main island. This country then has countries inside it. Also, some British islands are not part of the UK.
You would think they wrote all this down in a constitution, right? Wrong.
Just make sure you don't confuse the Scots or Welsh with the English and you'll be ok.
####Mind your Ps and Qs.
Portuguese people can be polite, while also very direct. To the Brits, that doesn't sound polite.
They refer to manners as "Ps and Qs" for a good reason. You'll be instantly liked in the UK if you say 'please' and 'thank you' as much as possible.
You should keep saying 'sorry' too. Even when you have nothing to be sorry about. Sorry.
####We need to talk about Nando's
Brits love "a cheeky Nando's". They think it's authentic Portuguese food.
That might come as a surprise to you. For a start, there are no Nando's in Portugal. The food is great, but the company is actually South African. And the food is more Mozambican.
Don't go there looking for bacalhau.
####Don't get ripped off sending money to Portugal.
Wise is the fast, fair new way - this is how it works:
You've got yourself a great job in the UK, but you still have bills or a mortgage to pay at home.
