SAN DIEGO (NEWS 8) – Pacific Beach has one of the highest crime rates in San Diego and residents are fed up.
Residents are banding together by introducing a measure called Keep Cal Safe that would enact tougher laws to keep repeat offenders off the streets.
"A lot of the residents in Pacific Beach are just fed up and we want some law changes and that's the only way some of these criminals are going to be dealt with properly," Racheal Allen.
Racheal is part of a group of Pacific Beach neighbors fighting to find ways to curb the area's rising crime rates.
Statistic show out of 126 San Diego communities, Pacific Beach has the second highest crime with 216 violent crimes.
"I saw this movement has been going on since January. When I caught wind of that, I tried to get as many signatures as I could for it," said Racheal.
Keep Cal Safe is the measure Racheal has been working to gather enough signatures to place on the November ballot. It is a coalition trying to reform certain criminal laws in California.
According to Racheal, "there is a lot crime that is considered non-violent which should be re-classified as violent." The measure aims to strengthen theft laws and keep violent offenders from receiving early release.
Racheal said she is aware the initiative is not without its critics.
Critics of tougher crime laws have long argued that increasing incarceration rates and lengthening sentenced does not reduce crime in the long-term.
"There are a lot of critics who are against this, but it's because they have been a victim, yet. I think once you are a victim and you do suffer from the thefts and suffer from not feeling safe, I think you'll understand why this initiative is so important," said Racheal.
The measure needed 345,000 signatures to make it on the November ballot. As of Friday night, the signatures were still being counted.

Like all other person Rights, education is universal and it is an entitlement everybody can anticipate regardless of what economic status, ethnicity, sex or religion they belong to. Education direct the way into the practice of other human rights by encouraging empowerment of people, freedom of expression and offers significant benefits in most spheres. However, it is an increasingly worrying component that countless kids and adults worldwide are devoid of fundamental opportunities to research, largely as a consequence of impoverishment and feeble economies.
World bodies like The United Nations and UNESCO have formatted legal obligations regarding the right to education for every single person. These legal tools provide the pathway for every single person to get access to great education without discrimination. They understand education as a powerful tool which could help children and adults become socially and economically enabled and allow them to lead more fulfilled lives. The statistics are staggering. Almost 93 million kids all around the world remained from college, according to 2006; almost 80 percent of the number lives in Africa and in weaker areas in South Asia. The Education for All (EFA) initiative, formed in the early 1990s entails a wide set of authorities, developmental agencies and NGOs who have endorsed dedication to six principal targets that will empower education to achieve every citizen in every society.
But as the Initiative came on, the inherent recognition also set in these goals cannot be attained by simply providing access to education; length and quality of education at secondary and primary levels are really important aspects. The continuing power of human rights principles and integrity has to offer a background in classrooms to make certain may tro giang loai nao tot nhat children who enroll in primary school finish their schooling. The schedule laid down From the EFA went under the premise that public coverage enactment can help transform education methods radically provided political and government resources reevaluate policies for execution highlighting ability and excellent growth of literacy.
From 2000, the anticipated Goals were met. The World Education Forum attended by 165 nations in Dakar, Senegal suggested the Dakar Framework for Action confirming the aims of the EFA for providing quality education to all by the year 2015; special emphasis for teaching and developing the woman child received particular attention. Back in reaffirmation, two aims suggested by the EFA – universal main education, empowering women and promoting gender equality were contained in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Indeed, attaining the Targets for providing Education for All demands sustained and dedicated worldwide reaction and participation with civil society, development agencies, NGOs press and world governments to assist every child irrespective of caste, colour and creed attain and realize that the right to a high quality education.

Game Grump Vs Kotaku
For those who may be unfamiliar there are a group are Let's Players called the Game Grumps. They are hilarious in every single one of their videos as they team up in pairs and play a series of video games while commenting on the game, life experiences, and a lot of the time just talking nonsense in the hopes of making their gaming partner laugh.
Although their job may sound like a breeze, they post three videos of content every single day while still attending various events, working on side projects, living their normal life, and having a relationship. To say they are hard workers is a severe understatement as they put every fiber of their being into their brand as a way to keep the lights on and entertain their fans. One grump in particular, Ross O'Donovan, who is both an animator and content creator for Game Grumps snatched Mario Maker, a game that allows you to create your own Mario stages, as soon as it came out and during his free time decided to create levels of his own.
The result were some of the hardest levels the gaming community had ever experienced as they were designed to crush you from the very beginning. In order to publish the stage, the creator must first beat it him/herself. Ross, being the brat we all know and love, kept the levels as difficult as possible while also adding secrets in the stage that allowed him to complete the level without much difficulty. A mix of his fame and the quality of levels caused him to skyrocket through the ranks of Mario Maker and become one of the top five in the entire world.
.@RubberNinja You're 4th worldwide! Now to get rid of that French guy who only does automatics >_> pic.twitter.com/UOJFzdmkFl
— Mattchiavelical (@Boettam) September 22, 2015
Continuing his streak of levels we all love to hate was his 'You Are A Monster' stage that required you to let a number of Yoshi's die in order for your continued survival which taunted you at the end, saying: 'You Are A Monster' before exiting the level. One Mario maker player decided that he would not stand for this and used all of his gaming skill to complete the stage without killing a single Yoshi. This incredible feat earned him the front page of reddit and even a response from Ross himself. This was an awesome achievement that all of us Game Grumps and Mario Maker fans rejoice that someone defied the god of torment.
Then Kotaku decided this would be a good article to write for their website, which is fair because it is a great story. However, they chose to not include Ross by name, nore provide the level code and when Ross attempted to comment on this, their broken commenting system of hidden until approved prevented him from letting others know that he was the creator. He took his frustrations to Twitter:
Kotaku covered @_JayHez's no kill vid. Not mentioning me by name, just as Mario Maker Troll http://t.co/rxZT70zaVR pic.twitter.com/xL57HEnBLd — Ross O'Donovan (@RubberNinja) October 5, 2015
I am very doubtful they'll authorize my comment. GG Kotaku.
— Ross O'Donovan (@RubberNinja) October 5, 2015
The real problem here is that they didn't even post the level code or where to find it. — Ross O'Donovan (@RubberNinja) October 5, 2015
Regardless, I guess the short news is: Gaming Blog Trolls post content they found on reddit without researching the context of the news.
— Ross O'Donovan (@RubberNinja) October 5, 2015
Eventually a Kotaku representative was notified and the article was updated with the correct information.
It seems so odd to me that a major geek website like Kotaku would not take a few extra steps to include Ross' information and even find the level code when I was able to find it in seconds(Google then twitter). They do address that '…the video itself mentioned him numerous times.' however it's journalism 101 that you include at least basic information about the people involved in the article so readers are more informed. I believe the author knew exactly what they were doing and assumed that the creator would never see the article. Little did they know it was a Grump and the most outspoken one of them all. Thankfully there seemed to be no bad blood between the two.
My friends refer to Kotaku as the Fox News of the geek world, I didn't want to believe them but with their commenting policies, deliberate lack of credit, and various other reasons, I am starting to believe my friends are on to something…
Be sure to check out Game Grumps! They are awesome folks! (I personally recommend starting on Dog Island or any of the Steam Trains series!)
Try out Ross's levels!

The ohrenhoch-Youngsters present the work "Springtime Encounters Aliens" on the permanent loudspeaker installation at 'ohrenhoch – the Noise Shop' in conjunction with the 'Frühlingserwachen' ('Spring Awakening') festival 2011.
Director: Knut Remond
During the 'Frühlingserwachen' ('Spring Awakening') festival 2010, the ohrenhoch-Youngsters presented their successful audio play "The Flying Sound Carpet", and now comes their second coup "Springtime Encounters Aliens".
Saturday 26.03.2011, 19:00 – 22:00 *
Sunday 27.03.2011, 14:00 – 21:00 *
Sunday 03.04.2011, 14:00 – 21:00 *>
in conjunction with the 'Spring Awakening' festival in Reuterkiez in Berlin-Neukölln
The ohrenhoch-Youngsters meet every Saturday at ohrenhoch.
The youngsters are children between the ages of 5 and 8.
Various sound and/or noise instruments are played, discovered, and tried out either in groups or individually.
The spectrum of sounds ranges from synthesizer to instruments that the ohrenhoch-Youngsters built themselves.
The voice is also an important instrument, especially in order, e.g., to recognize how the voice is altered by means of various electronic effect devices.
Springtime Encounters Aliens is an audio play or loop that is composed of a continuum of individual clips. In this piece, the ohrenhoch-Youngsters played with a small synthesizer (analog/digital) without a keyboard, named the "Mopho" (from Dave Smith Instruments).
The set and/or instruments used in "Springtime Encounters Aliens" consists of the "Mopho" synthesizer, which is looped using a mixing console with effects and a microphone.
The recording was created between January and March 2011.The piece was put together by Knut Remond, who is also the initiator and director of the School for Acousmatic Music 'ohrenhoch – the Noise Shop'.

Teams are busy figuring out respective preferred elevens, legends of the past are sharing their success mantra, analysts are forecasting possible winners and fans are engaging in all such peripheral activities. One such routine exercise is evoking memories from the past to form an all-time great World Cup XI side; and after an edition concludes, the best players are drafted into a dream team of performers from the particular world cup.

Blair Brown is one of the many new additions to the cast of the upcoming Season 4 of the American comedy-drama TV series "Orange is the New Black" on Netflix.
In a recent interview, the actress disclosed that she will be taking on the role of Judy King, a cooking show host who ended up as the newest convict in Litchfield Prison.
She said that her character will be like Martha Stewart but she insisted that it is not on purpose but merely a creation of the writers, notes The Bitbag.
Brown describes her character Judy King as slightly appalling and a very good and very cheerful and probably amoral person.
The best season so far
Actress Laura Prepon, who plays the role of Alex Vause in "Orange is the New Black" says that the upcoming fourth season is by far, one of the best, if not the best, for the hit TV series.
The biggest cliffhanger of the Season 3 finale had Alex Vause teetering on the brink of death, which critics describe as similar to the fate of Jon Snow in the HBO hit series "Game of Thrones."
Prepon disclosed that the "Orange is the New Black" team struggled with the Jon Snow Alex's situation especially when Kubra was shown about to put an end to her life.
The actress said that people have seen her on the set and most of them already have the conclusion that she is not dead. However, she said that everyone of them has to be tight-lipped about the plotlines of the series but her character being alive was kind of a give-away already.
So the only thing that viewers would be watching out with Alex Vause is how she escapes from Kubra. Another interesting thing is how her return will play out in the seeming nurturing relationship between Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling, and Stella Carlin, played by Ruby Rose, notes Melty.
Air date is set
"Orange is the New Black" Season 4 already has an air date on Netflix and it will happen on June 17.
Meanwhile, Australian actress Ruby Rose, in a recent interview said that 2015 was the greatest year of her life so far because of the TV series, which has given her friends that she will have with her for the rest of her life.
She said that getting to work with the level of talent in all sectors for her biggest role ever in the US is nothing short of a blessing.
Rose admitted that despite being the bitchiest of bitches in front of the camera, the women are actually the best of buddies off screen. She said that the quintessential thing on the show is that all of the women support each other.
She thinks that it is the biggest difference between the show and some other shows that are out there. Rose believes that it is not a common thing for a show that has that many women.
Meanwhile, Piper Chapman is practically the main protagonist of the American comedy-drama TV series "Orange is the New Black" ever since the show started more than three years ago on Netflix.
After all, Schilling's character in the TV series is based on the real-life prison experience of Piper Kerman, the author of "Orange is the New Black" book, which is the source material for the Netflix show.
However, for the upcoming fourth season of "Orange is the New Black," it seems that Piper Chapman will take a backseat in terms of show focus is concerned because apparently the limelight will be shone on the backstories of the other characters in the TV series.

Def Jam just revealed the final CD packaging for Kanye West's forthcoming album Yeezus. Check it out:
Very bland and uninspired especially considering this is what we originally thought it'd look like:
I'm not impressed by I suppose Kanye wants to let the music speak for itself. Or perhaps Kanye just wants people to create their own artwork for the record like we see so often with fan created covers on message boards and on Tumblr — hence the "PLEASE ADD GRAFFITI." What do you guys think?
Yeezus is due out June 18th.
Plugging away since 1999, The National finally hit mainstream success with the release of their 2010 album High Violet. Of course, this entailed their first world tour, but in the new documentary Mistaken For Strangers, it's only the backdrop for the relationship between lead singer Matt Berninger and his younger brother Tom, who had no idea that these short videos he was shooting would turn into a public document of their troubled, if still loving brotherhood.
We talk with Israeli rockers Vaadat Charigim about some of their favorite records.
We talk with Yvonne Ambree and Jesse Barnes of Take Berlin about some of the records which influenced the recording of their debut EP, Lionize.

The question i'd like to ask all is
Do you think he should have owned up and told the ref he punched it in?
It doesn't sit well with me that a player deliberately cheats the ref and his opponents.
23 Feb 2019 08:38:16
Yes. Without question. I'd feel empty if United beat Liverpool by such a goal tomorrow. What's the point of sport at all if cheating (gamesmanship, spin it however you want) determines the outcome?
Most importantly the joy of winning is destroyed by the guilt of knowing in your own heart and soul that it wasn't just. Especially against your most bitter of rivals.
23 Feb 2019 09:43:48
I don't agree with it but such is the pressure put on managers by their own fans and media, Pellegrini will be happy he didn't own up to it.
Maybe if there wasn't a new witch hunt every other week (Sarri's turn now), there would be less pressure and therefore less cheating, particularly diving to win penalties.
Which also begs the question. How is a player putting the ball in with his hand any different to a penalty scored as a result of a dive?
23 Feb 2019 10:04:25
I'd never stop laughing if we beat Liverpool with a goal like that .
23 Feb 2019 10:41:42
Shouldnt be a problem come next season when VAR is introduced.
23 Feb 2019 11:21:04
OK we are playing Liverpool last game of the season, if Liverpool win they win the league, now if you were playing for united and the last minute de gea goes awol, your the last man back the only way you can stop the Liverpool player is to take him out cause he is heading in for an open goal, what do you do.
Do you take him out or let him score.
I know what I would do I'd poleaxe him👍.
23 Feb 2019 11:22:51
I disagree deano.
23 Feb 2019 11:32:06
Honour, integrity, and even basic fair play seem to take a back seat nowadays. You get booked for taking your shirt off but you can scream at a linesman, waste time, foul, pretty much anything you can get away with.
I remember everyone lauding Fowler for telling the ref it wasn't a penalty, but the ref gave a penalty, and Fowler then took it (it was saved but the rebound was put in) . If Fowler was so honourable he'd have rolled it gently to the goalie but if he had his team mates, Manager, and fans would have slaughtered him.
Footballers push things as far as they can. You have the extremes of biting, diving, and goals scored with hands but what about the other end of the scale. Ashley Young is a great example of how to move a throw in 15 yards further up the pitch, every team does it. When taking a corner players place the ball outside the quadrant, as if that extra half an inch will make a difference. Falling over theatrically when a player so much as breathes on you. Wagging fingers at linesmen, swearing at them. I think footballers need taking down a peg or 2, it would be carnage initially but once everyone got use to stricter rules we might see some of this nonsense stop.
23 Feb 2019 12:11:41
Its nothing new. Maradonna, Henry etc. After the fallout of the Henry and Ireland match, who would have thought 9 years later we still don't have VAR in the EPL? Madness.
23 Feb 2019 12:16:18
Couldn't agree more Anthony.
23 Feb 2019 13:25:26
Fair enough ken, can't all have the same opinions.
23 Feb 2019 13:58:10
Of course mate. not looking for perfection just don't think its showing any respect for refs opponents fans etc to cheat as blatantly as that.
23 Feb 2019 15:02:08
exacty james, ajh there was never much of honor integrity or fair play in football or life for that matter its just something old people seem to think. People have always cheated to get ahead will keep doing so until extinction.
Maradona goal, the schumacher tackle, the world cup final ghost goal, none of these happened recently.
23 Feb 2019 17:46:26
I agree csm but i believe it will only take one or 2 players to own up and it will begin to be the norm. We are all happy to critisise refs when they call it wrong but it goes to show what little chance they have when players are willing to try and cheat them at every opportunity.
23 Feb 2019 21:21:34
I remember our manager I think rob lee and just walking off not even bothering to see the red. Won us the game.

Getting Where You Need To Go
Our agency's offices used to be on Highland Avenue in Birmingham's 5 Points South area. One of the things I really enjoyed was walking to lunch. There were so many cool places nearby and you could be back in an hour even if you walked. One day in 2006 I decided to walk to Al's … Continue reading Getting Where You Need To Go

I was told this column was missed last week. Honestly, it's hard for me to believe people actually read what I write, let alone miss it when I don't; but it's your funeral I guess. Last week, I spent a majority of my time being consumed by work and Carnival events, as per usual. One thing I began to notice was that I had become less and less interested in the shows and more interested in what time I was going home. My stamina was wearing thin and I wasn't able to stay up anymore. Imagine how many times I fell asleep as I tried to write this, but if you're willing to read, I'm willing to sacrifice for the readers.
After all of their preparation, the contestants of the various queen shows finally faced off for the titles. While backstage, I saw things like some of the ladies dancing on stage then running off directly into the arms of their chaperones for medical treatment; some of them with pulled muscles gliding flawlessly on stage; and another who was using a ventilator machine in between takes so that she could breathe properly. There was also a copious amount of cotton candy consumed by yours truly. There has never really been an opportunity for me to see locals perform in shows also organized by locals. I'm really impressed by the level of quality that we can achieve. The younger generation is doing a great job at innovating and there are lots of the older generations who actively support youthful ideas and keep up with the times. It's been wonderful to debunk that myth on my own and now I can object whenever someone spins those fallacies.
Okay, so I'm guessing everyone wants to know how I spent Jouvert, so I won't hold you hostage anymore. Come with me as I spin a yarn of a tale of a very long night. The time was 3:45am and I was just stepping out of my car. As I wondered how much sleep I'd lost in the past few days, my mind skipped to unicorns and I knew there would have to be sleep on the horizon for me, or my mind would turn to gelatine and leak out of my ears. If I replay the scene of people and giant trucks for some reason, the ending monologue in the Thriller video comes to mind. Yes, I have listened to the song enough times to memorize that part. Also, it is weird; but you're reading this article, so you can handle much more than that.
Just imagine it! "The foulest stench is in the air; the funk of forty thousand years." This could be a reference to the very pungent body odour wafting through the people. "Grizzly goons from every tomb are closing in to seal your doom." Try being claustrophobic and seeing all of those people already poised to suffocate you. "And though you fight to stay alive, your body starts to shiver." Two words, "sleep" "deprivation", it can literally make your body shiver. Or you can link it to your body being tired and the music makes it come alive again. "For no mere mortal can resist the evil of the Thriller." In this case, just replace the Thriller with Jouvert. See what happened there? You just saw the logic!
There was a point while the trucks were lining up where I began to psyche myself up. But alas! I may not be a mere mortal, as I clearly turned back. The mixture of intense sounds, smells and visuals made for a very disturbing experience for me. There was every intention to do it; but I just gave up. I may have failed to deliver what an actual Jouvert is like from start to finish, but this is about my experiences, so I don't feel like I've disappointed you. To my friend who was ready to accept me with open arms into her tiny posse of bacchanalists, I'm sorry I was more than happy until I got lost in the sea of people.
The end result was me walking shamefully back to my car, which was parked too far to walk. So basically, it was me taking a bus back to it. But, don't fear, I didn't give up hope. There had to have been something keeping me from running out of the Village every night it was packed. Then it hit me! I'm a backstage kind of person, someone who is much happier witnessing chaos than being part of it. So I poised myself to take pictures from the sidelines once the parade got back onto the Pondfill. I loved it! This was how I experienced Jouvert and I loved it! I got candid shots of friends and I didn't have to throw up on someone because the crowd got too thick for me to handle.
Next week is my last instalment as a Reluctant Reveller and I am thoroughly ready to watch King Momo burn, but I'm thinking of what will happen after I see it. Tune in next week as I wrap up my experiences, after I reflect on the past few weeks and give my verdict on all that has gone down.

long process quotes
Meditation is a lifelong process. Give it a try. As you get deeper and more disciplined into the process, you'll get deeper and more disciplined in your mind and life.Brendon Burchard
At Lackland Air Force Base, they make an effort to retrain military dogs that suffer from PTSD. It's a lengthy, long process. The treatment is much the same as it would be for people, but it's a difficult road back.Robert Crais
I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself-and that's a long process.John Cusack
We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.Peter Drucker

China has made important contribution to the world economy in terms of total economic output and trade, and the RMB has played a role in the world economic development. But making the RMB an international currency will be a fairly long process.Hu Jintao
One culture I find fascinating to juxtapose against American culture is the culture of Germany. They've gone through a long process through their art, poetry, public discourse, their politics, of owning the fact of their complicity in what happened in World War II. It's still a topic of everyday conversation in Germany.Chris Jordan
But it has been a long process because I'm kind of a renaissance person.Ronnie Montrose
I'm not getting frustrated... we all knew from the start that this would be a long process.Dick Spring
It was such a leap in my career when 'Truman Show' came along. It's always been a long process for me insofar as recognition goes, but that's OK because you appreciate it when it comes.Jim Carrey
I'm one of those people that I make a song... then I write another song and then I'm like, 'But this song is so much better than this song,' and then I kind of ditch that song. It's a long process.Fefe Dobson

Writing The Western XI: Act IV Complete!
Yes, it's true. It's amazing what a little momentum can make. Acts II and IV are nominally the same length (18-24) pages, but where II took me almost a month, IV was done in a matter of days. As we get closer to the end, the story becomes more fun to write- the payoff beats are generally more interesting than the setups. This stretch had a lot to look forward to, so it was easier to want to get through it more quickly.[ref] Also, the urge to just finish the damn thing kicks in once you've been working on it for a couple of months.[/ref] This is one reason I always write stories and screenplays from start to finish[ref] But for the outline, I'll start at the end.[/ref] My desire to get to the good parts helps me push through the beginning. And of course, I always save the best for last. As I've been working on this stretch, I started noticing similarities between this story and the last screenplay I wrote, Captain Dishdrainer. It turns out they have scenes where Our Hero is captured by the villains and tortured for information. I swear this was not intentional. This was surprising, given how little else they have in common. Captain Dishdrainer is a children's movie, for crying out loud. Yet it has the longer, more intense torture sequence. Go figure.
Then again, other pieces I've written around the same time tend to feature similar themes. Dirty Hands and Cinemetropolis both involve characters on the run from the police. As does The Unlikely Adventures of E. Pluribus Unum[ref] Compare with the full title of Captain Dishdrainer.[/ref], written before either of them, which exists only as a very rough first draft that I need to go back to.
One of the sequences I'd been imagining for a long time was our horseback chase scene. As I got close to it, I started getting worried, though- I had a couple of cool moments in mind, but not much in the way of choreography. Five minutes of horses running and people shooting[ref]...and missing...[/ref] does not a chase scene make. The pursuers are trying to ensnare the prey, and the prey is trying to throw off the pursuers. The question is... How?
I had an idea for the end of the scene, where one of the protagonists would lose the villains by using a special bomb with a pressure sensitive fuse[ref] Believe me, it makes sense in context.[/ref] I had wanted him to tie a rope to the end and swing it around his head like a lasso- the centrifugal force would trip the fuse, he'd throw the bomb, and KABOOM!
I'm a bit of a physics nerd like that. But because I'm a physics nerd... I had to actually work out the physics for this real-world device. I brought my Dad in to make sure I was using the right equations, and we discovered that the fuse wouldn't light unless it was swung significantly faster than humanly possible.[ref] You'd probably need a helicopter engine. [/ref] So I needed a new way to light the fuse. Why not a gun? You'd either get the pressure from the bullet tripping the fuse, or the hot gases coming out after it would just light everything.
But our protagonist doesn't have a gun! I remembered. And just like that- Choreography problem solved. Now amid the chaos, he would have to get close enough to one of the bad guys' horses to steal his gun. And even if the lasso-trick won't like the fuse, it still makes a great club.[ref] Tee hee. [/ref]
See kids? Isn't science great?
Following the horseback chase, we had another sequence of two characters walking across the open desert trying to get back to town. I will admit that this scene was partially inspired by one of my absolute favorite films, Lawrence of Arabia[ref] And a scene from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.[/ref] It's a long, arduous journey in the heat of the day, so I thought the long, expansive shots of our protagonists being swallowed up by a sea of sand would be a nice touch.
It also helped that I was fortunate to see Lawrence on the big screen from a gorgeous 70mm print at The Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, NY. Absolutely amazing. I'd only seen it on DVD before, and it's just not the same. Props especially to Maurice Jarre's score, which filled the room from wall to wall.[ref] The film was funnier than I remembered... perhaps this was the packed house. Best laugh of the night: In the officer's mess, where a sand-covered Arab boy chugs the first liquid he's seen in days, Lawrence tells the dumbstruck barkeep, "He likes your lemonade."[/ref]
And so, we're getting into the home stretch that is Act V. Stay tuned... it won't be long now.

Technical Oversight Committee
The Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) is in charge of supervising and coordinating the activities of the Technical Committees (TCs) of the ISSMGE. The mission of TCs is to provide a forum for active participation by the individual members of ISSMGE, and to promote the objectives, activities and results of the Technical Committees throughout the ISSMGE membership. The TCs are a meeting arena for discussing, developing and applying specialist geotechnical knowledge related to the behaviour of geo-materials, geotechnical engineering and engineering for society.
The TOC is managed by a Chair, a Secretary and the 6 Vice-Presidents of the Regions. Each Vice-President follows the activities of the TCs from his/her region.
Chair: Prof. Pierre Delage, Ecole des Ponts ParisTech - pierre.delage(at)enpc.fr
Secretary: TBD
- Africa: Etienne Marcelin Kana - emk2cm(at)yahoo.fr (CTGA - Comite Transnational des Geotechniciens Africains)
- Asia: Eun-Chul Shin - ecshin(at)inu.ac.kr (Korea)
- Australasia: Philipp Robbins - philip.robins(at)beca.com (New Zealand)
- Europe: Mario Manassero - mario.manassero(at)polito.it (Italy)
- North America: Timothy Newson - tnewson(at)eng.uwo.ca (Canada)
- South America: Alejo Sfriso - asfriso(at)gmail.com (Argentina)
The TC activities are governed by the Guidelines for ISSMGE Technical Committees and ISSMGE Honour Lectures, that also deal with creating and naming Honours Lectures, and the process for selection of a lecturer.
- The term of a TC Chair is four years long, with a maximum of two terms, resulting in an eight year maximum period;
- The TC membership includes (i) four members nominated by the Chair (who also selects the TC Vice-Chair (if necessary) and secretary), with voting right, (ii) two members nominated by the Member Societies interested in the TC activities, with voting right, and (iii) corresponding members (no limit in number) who may attend meetings and participate to the TC activities, without voting right (corresponding members also have to register through their Member Society);
- The reporting of the TC activities to the TOC is planned at mid-term (report to provide for 1st May 2019) and at the end of the the presidential term (6 months before the Sydney ISSMGE Conference in December 2021).
It is not in the interest of TCs to have a long list with many inactive members. To achieve more efficient TC activities, Chairs are invited to regularly check their member list and to invite Member Societies either to cancel the participation of inactive members (never seen at the TC meetings or never responding to e-mails and requirements) or to replace them, in particular by more active corresponding members.
TC WEBSITE (contact: webmaster(at)issmge.org)
An updated TC website is mandatory to promote the TC activites. It is in the interest of the ISSMGE to have most of the TC websites brought together within the ISSMGE website. In case they still have no proper active and informative website, TC officers are warmly encouraged to use the TC subwebsite available on the ISSMGE website to promote their activities (providing the minutes of the TC administrative meetings is encouraged) and to divulgate the technical and scientific events that they organise. TCs with own active websites are invite to insert a link in the ISSMGE sub-website.
An essential mission of the ISSMGE is to provide up to date technical and scientific information to contribute to the improvement of knowledge easily available for the profession. Following the ISSMGE Open Access policy (see the ISSMGE Publication and Conference Manual), TCs are strongly encouraged to publish in Open Access their scientific production, and particularly the Proceedings of their Conferences, Symposium and Workshops that they organise.
You can download
- the TOC activity report 2013 - 2017,
- the TOC presentation to TC officers at the 2017 Seoul Conference,
- the feedback from the CAPG/TOC survey on Bridging the Gap between State of the Art and State of Practice in Geotechnical Engineering,

Loved the fact that she listened to what I needed and then went above and beyond my expectations. I will be back !!!
Her technique was different than other masseuses I've been to in the past. She really worked the whole body well. I definitely recommend her especially if you deal with chronic pain.
That was probably the best massage I have had. Thank you
Very professional!! Best massage I've had in years. Will return on a regular bases. Recommend highly.
Enjoyed the experience so much I booked another. I have been in search of a massage therapist for four years. And I have found her!
Excellent service and very skilled masseuse. I would highly recommend Hands of Hope Therapeutic Massage!
Deborah is beyond a brilliant masseuse! I was barely able to move without being in pain from stress knots. The massage gave me so much relief and she told me some stretches to do to help alleviate the pain in between massage appointments.
Best ever. You won't want to go to anyone else.
Loved the whole experience ????

Midterm elections polls 2018: Who is leading midterms? Who will take majority in Senate?
MIDTERM election polls are currently working to calculate leaders in the run up to the US November 6 elections this year. Who is leading in the midterms and who could take majority in the Senate?
The Senate race has been hotting up as the US prepares to vote in a new Congress, with Donald Trump pulling out the stops to keep a Republican majority in power.
A total of 470 spaces in the US Congress are up for election, as the entire 435-strong House of Representatives is to be replaced.
In the Senate, 35 places are up for grabs as a third of the 100-member chambers are also to be replaced.
Both chambers are in for very different results according to recent polls, with the Senate race all but decided as voting approaches.
The fight for Congress has been raging for some time, with a total of 470 seats to be replaced in Congress, neither the Democrats nor Republicans are prepared to lose footing.
At the moment, there is a Republican majority stationed in both the Senate and House of Representative chambers, and Democrats are furiously trying to prevent this majority growing.
A victory for the Democrats over the incumbent Republican majority could make life harder for Donald Trump, who may find it more difficult to pass bills through Congress.
However if Republicans were able to gain more ground, the process of passing bills through Congress could be expedited for the President.
The only way to understand who could win Congress at the moment is via polling.
While polls cannot provide a concrete prediction for who will gain control of Congress, they can forecast political leanings among key voting groups.
Midterms elections polls 2018- Who is leading midterms? Who will take majority in Senate?
Who is leading in the US Midterms elections?
A recent poll from market research company Ipsos looked at a sample size of 3,867 voting age (18+) Americans.
Each participant was interviewed online about their political leanings in the run up to the elections, and a sample of 2,062 were planning to vote.
They were asked: "Thinking about the elections in 2018, if the election for U.S. Congress were held today, would you vote for the Democratic candidate or the Republican candidate in your district where you live?."
In total, 40 percent of all adults involved in the survey stated they would vote for Democratic candidates, and 32 percent were planning to vote for Republican candidates.
A small four percent of people questioned said they were planning to vote for a candidate from another political party.
The outlying 24 percent consisted of 13 percent saying they will not or do not plan to vote, and a further 11 percent which don't know or refuse to answer.
Political attitude in the US therefore seems pointed towards a Democrat victory during the midterms, but small outliers mean this could change in the few weeks running up to the November 6 crunch date.
Who will take the majority in the US Senate?
The Senate race could be easier to call than the House of Representatives, as only a third of the Republican-controlled chamber is up for reelection.
This means the current situation is unlikely to be upset, unless Democrats were able to cobble together a staggering number of votes in the coming weeks.
According to pollsters FiveThirtyEight - which draws data from a collection of different polls to gather an understanding of possible outcomes - the Senate will remain under majority control from the Republicans.
The forecast predicts an 82.8 percent chance the Republicans will keep the senate, gaining an average of four seats.
For the Democrats, there is only a 17.2 percent chance of flipping the Senate, but there is a possibility of gaining at least two seats.

In the past 20 years, the growth of the Amazon marketplace has created complex, new challenges that most brand executives don't know how to address effectively. As an "open marketplace", Amazon welcomes millions of sellers that offer products to hundreds of millions of customers. The marketplace is full of unauthorized sellers that impose on the brand executive's ability to maintain stable prices across all channels. And any marketplace seller has the ability to create online brand content that is often not aligned with what the brand executive is seeking to populate across all channels. At the same time, Amazon's central access to so many ready-to-buy customers has created advertising opportunities that most brands haven't yet worked effectively into their overall marketing strategies.
Brand Authority Summit is an educational conference bringing together leading practitioners sharing best practice on the strategic issues of a) branding control, b) channel control, and c) online advertising so as to help answer these two questions for brand executives:
Brand Authority Summit is brought to you by Emerald Expositions and the team that created the largest conference for Amazon marketplace sellers. The event takes place September 18-20, 2019 in Las Vegas.
James Thomson,
James Thomson is a partner at Buy Box Experts, a managed services agency supporting brands selling online. Earlier, he served as the business head of Amazon Services, the division of Amazon responsible for recruiting tens of thousands of sellers annually to the Amazon marketplace. He also served as the first Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) account manager. Prior to Amazon, James was a management consultant and banker.
In 2015, James co-founded the Prosper Show, a continuing education conference for large Amazon sellers, and in 2017 published the book "The Amazon Marketplace Dilemma", designed for brand executives seeking to control their brands on the Amazon marketplace.

Getting Around
Airlines in Ecuador
With the exception of flying to the Galápagos Islands, internal flights are generally fairly cheap, rarely exceeding $125 for a one-way ticket. All mainland flights are under an hour and often provide you with incredible views over the Andes.
Flights to most destinations originate in Quito or Guayaquil only. The following are Ecuador's passenger airlines:
Avianca Serves Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Esmeraldas, Isla Baltra (Galápagos), Isla San Cristóbal (Galápagos), Manta and Coca.
Emetebe Galápagos-based airline that flies between Isla Baltra, Isla Santa Cruz, Isla San Cristóbal and Isla Isabela.
LATAM Flies from Quito to Cuenca, Guayaquil and the Galápagos (Isla San Cristóbal and Isla Baltra), plus New York and various cities in Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Bolivia.
TAME Serves Coca, Cuenca, Esmeraldas, Isla Baltra and Isla San Cristóbal (Galápagos), Guayaquil, Lago Agrio, Loja, Manta, Quito, Salinas, plus Bogotá and Cali (Colombia), Lima (Peru), New York and Fort Lauderdale (USA).
Cycling in the Andes is strenuous, not only because of hill climbs but because of the altitudes. Road rules are few, and there are not many bike lanes around the country. But, after major investments in infrastructure, the roads are in good shape in Ecuador, and many larger cities have signed ciclovias (bike paths), some of which are closed to vehicle traffic on Sundays, notably in Quito.
Bike shops are scarce outside of Quito, and those that do exist usually have a very limited selection of parts. Bring all important spare parts and tools from home. The country's best mountain-bike tour operators are in Quito and Riobamba.
Renting bikes is mainly for short tours, mostly from Quito, Riobamba, Cuenca and Baños.
Boat transportation is common in some parts of Ecuador and can be divided into several types.
The most common boat is the motorized canoe, which acts as a water taxi or bus along the major rivers of the Oriente (especially on the Río Napo) and parts of the northern coast. Most people experience this novel form of transport during a tour in the Amazon, as motorized canoes are often the only way to a rainforest lodge.
These canoes often carry as many as 36 passengers. Generally, they're long in shape and short on comfort. Seating is normally on hard, low wooden benches which accommodate two people each. Most river lodges provide bench cushions on their boats. If you're taking public-transport canoes: bring seat padding. A folded sweater or towel will make a world of difference on the trip.
Other Boats
In the Galápagos, you have a choice of traveling in anything from a small sailboat to a cruise ship replete with air-conditioned cabins and private bathrooms. Passenger ferries run infrequently between the islands, offering the cheapest means of interisland transport. Only folks traveling around the islands independently (ie, not on a cruise) need consider these.
In addition to the dugout canoes of the Oriente, one live-aboard riverboat, the Anakonda, makes relatively luxurious passages down Río Napo.
Buses are the primary means of transport for most Ecuadorians, guaranteed to go just about anywhere. They can be exciting, cramped, comfy, smelly, fun, scary, sociable and grueling, depending on your state of mind, where you're going and who's driving.
There have also been some tragic bus accidents in recent years. Most buses lack seat belts, but if you're on one that has them, do use them.
Most major cities have a main terminal terrestre (bus terminal), although some towns have a host of private terminals – and you'll have to go to the right one to catch the bus going where you need to go. Most stations are within walking distance or a short cab ride of the town's center. Smaller towns are occasionally served by passing buses, in which case you have to walk from the highway into town, usually only a short walk since only the smallest towns lack terminals.
Bigger luggage is stored in the compartment below and is generally safe. Theft is more of a concern for objects taken inside the bus. To avoid the risk of becoming a victim, keep whatever you bring onto the bus on your lap (not the floor or overhead).
On average, bus journeys cost a bit more than $1 per hour of travel. Remember to always have your passport handy when you're going anywhere by bus, as they are sometimes stopped for checks. This is especially true in the Oriente.
There are rarely classes to choose from – whatever is available is the class you ride. Most autobuses (buses) are nondescript passenger buses (as opposed to school-type buses), and they rarely have a bathroom on board unless they're traveling more than four hours. Some of the long-haul rides between large cities have air-conditioned buses with on-board toilets, but they are few and far between.
Long-Distance Buses
These usually stop for a 20-minute meal break at the appropriate times. The food in terminal restaurants may be somewhat basic, so if you have dietary restrictions or are a picky eater, you should bring food with you.
Reservations & Schedules
Most bus companies have scheduled departure times, but these change often and may not always be adhered to. If a bus is full, it might leave early. Conversely, an almost empty bus may spend half an hour dando vueltas (driving around), with the driver's assistant yelling out of the door in the hope of attracting more passengers.
The larger terminals often have information booths that can advise you about routes, fares and times.
Except on weekends and during vacations, you'll rarely have trouble getting a ticket, but it never hurts to buy one a day or two in advance or arrive an hour or two early.
Most tickets will have a seat number, and some fellow passengers adhere to the assigned seat, while some are more libertarian. If you want a window seat, specify ventana to the ticket seller.
Car & Motorcycle
Driving a car or motorcycle in Ecuador presents its challenges, with potholes, blind turns, and insanely fast bus and truck drivers. The good news is that infrastructure has dramatically improved, with new roads and bridges, and better road signage, making road travel much smoother. Speed bumps ('sleeping policemen' to Ecuadorians) are sometimes painted, but often, invisible.
Automobile Associations
Ecuador's automobile association is Aneta, which offers a few services to members of foreign automobile clubs, including Canadian and US AAA members. It provides 24-hour roadside assistance to Aneta members.
Driver's License
You are required to have a driver's license from your home country and a passport whenever you're driving. The international driver's license can also come in handy when renting a car (though it's not officially required).
There are two octane ratings for gasoline in Ecuador: 'Extra' (82 octane) and 'Super' (92 octane). Gasoline is sold by the gallon and costs about $1.90 per gallon for Extra and about $2.25 per gallon for Super; note that the latter is not always available in rural areas and prices can vary.
Car & Motorcycle Hire
Few people rent cars in Ecuador, mainly because public transport makes getting around so easy. Most of the international car-rental companies, including Avis (www.avis.com), Budget (www.budget.com), Hertz (www.hertz.com) and Localiza (www.localiza.com), have outlets in Ecuador, but it is difficult to find any agency outside of Quito, Guayaquil or Cuenca.
To rent a car, you must be at least 25 years old and have a credit card, a valid driver's license and a passport. Occasionally a company will rent to someone between 21 and 25 years old, though it may require a higher deposit. Typical rates start at around $40 per day for a compact car, but can go over $100 for a 4WD vehicle (high clearance can be a life saver during ventures off the beaten track). Be sure to ask if the quoted rate includes seguro (insurance), kilometraje libre (unlimited kilometers) and IVA (tax) – most likely it won't.
The best place to hire a motorcycle is in Quito. In the Mariscal, Freedom Bike rents touring and off-road bikes with gear as well as scooters and bicycles.
You can also hire motorbikes in Baños, where 250cc Enduro-type motorcycles are available for about $10 per hour or $40 per day. Riders with their own machines will find helpful information at Horizons Unlimited (www.horizonsunlimited.com).
Car-rental companies offer insurance policies on their vehicles, but they can carry a hefty deductible – anywhere between $1000 and $3500, depending on the company – so be sure you read the fine print. Even if an accident is not your fault, you will likely be responsible for the deductible in the event of a collision.
Road Hazards
Hazards in Ecuador include potholes, non-obvious speed bumps, blind turns and, most obvious of all, bus and truck drivers who pass other buses and trucks at seemingly impossible moments. Always be alert for stopped vehicles, sudden road blocks and occasional livestock on the road. Signage in Ecuador is poor.
Hitchhiking is never entirely safe in any country, and we don't recommend it. Travelers who decide to hitchhike should understand that they are taking a small but potentially serious risk. People who do choose to hitchhike will be safer if they travel in pairs and let someone know where they are planning to go.
Hitching is not very practical in Ecuador for three reasons: there are few private cars, public transportation is relatively cheap and trucks are used as public transportation in remote areas, so trying to hitch a free ride on one is the same as trying to hitch a free ride on a bus. Many drivers of any vehicle will pick you up, but will also expect payment, usually minimal.
Local Transportation
Local buses are usually slow and crowded, but they are also very cheap. You can get around most towns for $0.25. Local buses often travel to nearby villages, and riding along is a good, inexpensive way to see the area.
Outside of Quito the concept of a fixed bus stop is pretty much nonexistent. Buses stop (or at least come to a slow roll) when people flag them down. When you want to get off a local bus, yell '¡Baja!,' which means 'Down!' (as in 'the passenger is getting down'). Another favorite way of getting the driver to stop is by yelling '¡Gracias!' ('Thank you!'), which is unmistakably polite.
Ecuadorian taxis come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they are all yellow. Most taxis have a lit 'taxi' sign on top or a 'taxi' sticker on the windshield. In Quito and other bigger cities, licensed taxis have an orange or orange-striped license plate, with ID numbers clearly marked on the sides.
Always ask the fare beforehand, or you may be overcharged. Meters are rarely seen, except in Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca. A long ride in these cities should rarely go over $5 (unless traveling to Quito's bus terminals, which are quite distant from the center). The minimum fare nearly everywhere is $1.25, and you'll be required to pay $1 in Quito even if the meter only says $0.80. On weekends and at night, fares are always about 25% to 50% higher.
You can hire a taxi for a day for about $40 to $60. Hiring a taxi for a few days is comparable to renting a car, except that you don't have to drive. But you will have to pay for the driver's food and room. Some tour companies in Quito rent 4WD vehicles with experienced drivers.
In less urban areas, you're also likely to see ecotaxis (a three-wheeled bicycle with a small covered carriage that fits two people) as well as taxis ecológicos (motorcycle taxis with a two-seater carriage).
In certain towns, especially in rural areas where there are many dirt roads, camionetas (pickup trucks) act as taxis. If you need to get to a national park, a climbers refuge or a trailhead from a town, often the best way to do so is by hiring a pickup, which is usually as easy as asking around.
Much to the delight of train enthusiasts, Ecuador's rail system has finally been restored. Unfortunately, it's not useful for travel, as the routes are used for day trips designed exclusively for tourists. The trains run along short routes, typically on weekends, sometimes with return service by bus. The most famous line is the dramatic descent from Alausí along La Nariz del Diablo (The Devil's Nose), a spectacular section of train track that was one of the world's greatest feats of railroad engineering. The second is the weekend train excursion between Quito and the Area Nacional de Recreación El Boliche, near Cotopaxi.
Other routes run from Durán (near Guayaquil), Ibarra, Ambato, Riobamba and El Tambo (near Ingapirca).

Truck (Ranchera & Chiva)
In remote areas, trucks often double as buses. Sometimes these are large, flatbed trucks with a tin roof, open wooden sides and uncomfortable wooden-plank seats. These curious-looking 'buses' are called rancheras or chivas, and are seen on the coast and in the Oriente.
In the remote parts of the highlands, camionetas (ordinary trucks or pickups) are used to carry passengers; you just climb in the back. If the weather is good, you get fabulous views and the refreshing sensation of Andean wind in your face. If the weather is bad, you hunker down beneath a tarpaulin with the other passengers.
Payment is usually determined by the driver and is a standard fare depending on the distance. You can ask other passengers how much they are paying; trucks typically charge about the same as buses.
