CTES 6th Graders Teach WWII History: Thanks to LPC-TV, Cavendish Elementary 6th graders videotaped their various WWII reports. They cover such diverse topics as the enigma machine; the holocaust, D-Day, the Manhattan project, poisonous gases; ships; USA's place in the war; top 10 tanks; Battles of the Aleutian Islands; and the role dogs played in the war.
Springfield Hospital Implements New Security Protocols: Effective March 14, Springfield Hospital will institute enhanced security procedures in the Emergency Department. For the safety of all patients and staff, the Emergency Department will become a locked area. Emergency Department access for family members and visitors will require a sticker for identification. Family and visitors wishing to use the cafeteria will be instructed to exit and re-enter through a secured door. When the cafeteria closes for the evening, family and visitors will be restricted to the Emergency Department area and visitors will not be allowed access to the rest of the hospital without escort. Effective immediately, all patients, family and visitors are asked to always enter the Emergency Department through the Emergency Department main entrance. During early implementation of this new policy, Emergency Department patients and visitors who come to Springfield Hospital's main entrance will be identified and instructed regarding appropriate access to the Emergency Department.

VTel Defaults On Federal Cell Service Money: The federal government says the Springfield-based company VTel has defaulted on money awarded to provide cellular phone service in some parts of Vermont. The state is also waiting for the company to meet the terms of a grant to VTel for cell coverage. VTel was one of 33 service providers nationally to win federal awards in 2012 under Mobility Fund Phase I to provide mobile phone coverage in unserved areas. VTel's $2.05 million was one of the smallest awards given out by the FCC. It was divided up based on the cost of providing service in 46 Vermont tracts, which are groups of census blocks. But the FCC says VTel did not meet the terms of the award in 35 of the tracts, which account for $1.7 million of the federal money. The money was never given to VTel but the company will have to pay the FCC $86,000 for the defaults. VPR
Vermonters Urged to Remove Bird Feeders: The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is recommending that people take down their bird feeders and remove other sources of food that could attract black bears coming out of their winter dens. The warm weather and melting snow has prompted the bears to come out of their winter dens early this year. Aside from bird feeders, bears may also be attracted to pet food, barbecue grills, garbage, open Dumpsters and campsites with accessible food and food waste. Purposely feeding a bear is illegal in Vermont.
Maple Syrup and Alzheimer's Disease: Maple syrup was included for the first time among foods that showed promise in protecting brain cells against the kind of damage found in Alzheimer's disease. The research by Dr. Donald Weaver showed pure maple syrup extract helped prevent the misfolding and clumping of certain proteins in the brain. WCAX
Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea Recall Tuna Fish: Bumble Bee issued the voluntary recall of canned Chunk Light tuna due to spoilage concerns. The company says it became aware of "process deviations" at a packing facility it does not run. And though no illnesses have been reported, the deviations could result in spoilage. So Bumble Bee says it issued the recall out of an abundance of caution. The recall of over 31,000 cases of tuna includes 5-ounce cans of Chunk Light Tuna in Water sold individually or in four-packs, and 5-ounce cans of Chunk Light Tuna in Oil. The affected items were produced in February 2016 and distributed nationally. The recalled products have three specific UPC codes: 8660000020, 8660000021 and 8660000736. And all are marked with a can code that starts with a "T." Click here to see the complete list on Bumble Bee's website and for information on reimbursement. There is a similar recall for Chicken of the Seas. Click here for more details on the recall from Chicken of the Sea.
So the long awaited answer to why many people in Cavendish have experienced significant cell service loss starting in the late spring/early summer. When the carriers went to 4G, giving much better service, the area they covered shrunk. For more in depth information, go to the Telecommunications section of Monday night's select board meeting report.
So how to fix this.
• Microcell of femtocell devices operate through the Internet to provide cellular service, even when you don't have a signal at your house. It takes very little bandwidth and those people in town with these devices really like them. Contact your carrier for more information on the best devise for your phone. You can expect to pay $200-$350. However, some people have been able to get them for free or at reduced cost from their carrier due to changes in service availability.
• Booster. This will be a cheaper option than a micro or femtocell device but it does require that you are getting some sort of signal to the home. It's also going to require positioning and the use of an antenna. This does not require you to go through your computer.
• Change Carriers: Depending on where you live, some carriers are better than others. You can keep your number when you change carriers.
The Telecommunications Committee is exploring the possibility of installing one of the 400 microcell towers the state purchased from CoverageCo to improve cell service on the roadways. These devices are generally installed on utility poles and need both AC power and broadband Internet access. They have a range of about ¼ mile, so they are placed about ½ mile apart along a road.
Enjoy an afternoon of cards with your friends and neighbors. Gethsemane Church is hosting a Texas Hold 'Em Poker game at the Proctorsville Fire House on Saturday, March 19th Call 802 484-7431 to reserved seat at the poker table, or just show up and register at 11:30 a.m. The game begins at 12:30 with a $75 Buy-In and Re-Buys available.

Warning Signs
Although I currently work in the mental health field a lot of my college study was focused on philosophy in art. These two subjects seem (and in many ways are) very different, but I don't think they are as unrelated as surface appearance.

On Friday night, my boyfriend Tyler and I met up with some friends of ours in Federal Hill for a drink or two.
We hit the usual spots, paying the jukebox at No Way Jose to play our favorite songs, eating pizza at PubDog and making our way home in the early morning hours with the rest of the Baltimore bar-goers.
As usual, college students littered the streets, staggering under the influence of their vodka red bulls. But among them, stooping under deserted doorways or crouched in between buildings are the ones that nobody truly sees.
I grew up in Baltimore and have often witnessed the not-so-thin line between the haves and the have not's. On any given night, walking home from dinner at a nearby restaurant or from happy hour with a friend, it's probably more common than not to pass by the homeless, the suffering, the mentally ill.
I don't always give them money, mostly because since I left the restaurant business, I no longer regularly carry cash. I'm more likely to give them the snacks I sometimes squirrel away in my purse earlier in the day or even an article of clothing I could go without, on Saturday my boyfriend talked me out of giving a homeless man the women's wool socks I had stashed in my car over the weekend.
But regardless of all of that, regardless, every.single.time I pass them on the street, my heart hurts, aches, for those who spend their days on the streets, begging for food, depending on the kindness and compassion of others.
And as I made my way home on Friday evening after a night of fun, I was struck by how rare a quality compassion is these days.
There's a man, if you've ever been out on a weekend night on East Cross Street in Federal Hill, chances are, you've seen him. He shows clear signs of mental illness, he's usually muttering to himself or yelling profanities randomly at passerby's. He sits crouched in the doorway of what used to be a retail storefront, but is now an empty brick shell with a cup of change he holds out in front of him, jingling its meager contents rhythmically. His hair is matted to his head, his teeth are yellowed, blackened or missing, he wears a tattered hat and over-sized jacket. The sight of him is enough to make most people cross to the other side of the street before they even reach him.
I'm not trying to talk myself up here, there are days when I judge him, or when I don't feel like dealing with him or when I have nothing to give. There have been days when I've stepped to the other side of the street to avoid him, or when I've wondered what life choices he made that landed him there.
Because after all, I am so blessed. I have a loving, caring family that supports me (and a loving, caring extended family that I know would do the same). I have an education. I have a good-paying job in my career field. I have wonderful friends and an amazing boyfriend. I would never be that homeless person probably no matter how many bad choices I made because there would always be someone there to catch me in the end. And sometimes, even I, feel sorry for myself. For the bills I have to pay, for the things I can't afford, for the people I've lost, the opportunities I didn't take, for the time I never seem to have enough of.
So when I see those people, begging on the side of the road, my heart hurts and sometimes I even feel angry at a world that would allow such terrible things to happen in it.
So when I was walking home last Friday, and I saw someone do something to someone else, I lost my cool.
As Tyler and I were walking down East Cross Street, a man and his two friends were in front of us. Each of them were dressed in expensive suits, their hair gelled back, their dress shoes polished. And one of them was smoking a cigar. As I walked towards him, I watched as the homeless man on the street jingled his change jar and asked the man with the cigar for money.
The man made a show of pretending to go into his inside suit pocket for money, but instead flipped the lapels of his jacket up and shoved the label in the homeless man's face, as if to say "Do you see what I'm wearing?" I couldn't hear what he said, I didn't need to, his actions said it all. He then proceeded to blow smoke at the homeless man and laugh mockingly in his face.
My blood almost boiled over and as we passed, I said something to him that I don't even remember. Something that sounded a lot like "You f****** a**hole." He turned around and called me the female equivalent and if it weren't for my boyfriend and his friends, the situation may have even escalated.
Luckily, we quickly disentangled ourselves and made our way home.
As we neared the house, I found myself in tears. I can't explain to you the feeling I felt. Sadness and rage that someone who had so much, could turn around and mock someone with so little. I mean, I've always been a proponent of the under dog but this was on another level.
I wanted to run back and hug the homeless man, I wanted to offer him my bed for a night and my shower and the food I had in my fridge. I wanted to offer him my place at the thanksgiving table this year, after all my family's already a little off the wall themselves :) I wanted to offer him medical care, I wanted to offer him a job, I wanted to take back all the mean things people must have said to him when I wasn't around to hear it, I wanted to offer him basic human rights. But instead, I stood there and cried. I felt helpless.
My guess my point in all of this is that how you act around the less fortunate and how you treat them matters.
It matters because you never know their circumstances or who's watching, or what kind of good karma you might need to rely on later. To treat anyone as less than a person because of where they live, or what they wear, is unacceptable. Because no matter how fortunate you think you are, you're situation could always always be worse.
And sometimes its hard, because our first reaction is usually to judge. Our default reaction is usually to think about all the things we don't have, instead of being thankful and compassionate enough to let our judgments go and give what we have anyway.
This Thanksgiving, think of how fortunate you are before you judge those who are less so and imagine what it would be like to walk a day in their shoes.
Each of us deserves love, compassion and respect.

Please See CASH IN Notes Below Form for Full Explanation on Calculations.
The Pinnacle Society considers placements that you have another recruiter work on either by sourcing the candidate or maintaining the relationship with the client as a 50/50 split. Many of our members own executive search firms. Many have an administrative support person (secretary) that will assist by checking references, typing letters and various other support services. In those cases such as this the member handles both the candidate interaction as well as the client interaction, and as such the Pinnacle Society does not consider that a split. However, on other searches the member may get one of their staff recruiters to do the candidate sourcing and then the member will then present those candidates to the client and basically take over through the interview process to the offer extension and on boarding follow up. In those cases the Pinnacle Society considers that a split and as such when members report their volume they only credit their personal production volume as 50% of the fee. On searches/placements in which the member's staff of recruiters conduct (in which they maintain both the client as well as the candidate interaction), the Pinnacle Society does not consider this personal production and the firm owner gets no credit for those placements when calculating personal production. Please report volumes below based on this definition…production you can easily claim as personally having produced versus production that you managed.
Short version: Count production dollars you'd be paid commissions on if you were an individual producer being paid commissions on production.
The Pinnacle Society provides membership eligibility to all applicants for membership based on the policies and procedures outlined in our membership criteria and bylaws. No person should be excluded from membership based on race, color, religion, creed, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, ancestry, ethnicity, military status (including disabled veterans, recently separated veterans, or other protected veterans, and Armed Forces service medal veterans), citizenship status or other characteristic protected by applicable law, rule or regulation.

A colleague describes the Hall of Justice as a "cornucopia of medieval misery, where everyone's problems are in plain sight, on a perpetual walk of shame." Like a "human sewer that spares no one, even those acquitted or mere witnesses to them."
The Hall of Justice, home of Jefferson County District Court, is a building in which very few people want to be. It summons us for grievances both minor and grave. Its 1970s textured cement slabs and dull windowless light wear on your senses and hasten your desire to leave. Like a living M.C. Escher painting, with its balconies, spiral staircases and escalators on the fritz. A dull and grinding Kafkaesque nightmare.
On one recent day in Jefferson District Judge Eric Haner's courtroom, there was a brief moment of happiness as he married a couple that appeared very much in love. Ten minutes later, a woman is handcuffed and hauled off to jail.
The building -- long horizontal slabs stacked like a game of Jenga -- was meant to be a one-stop shop for justice when it was dedicated in 1977, combining the metro jail, city and county courts and support offices as well as the county police department. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron R. White was on hand to dedicated the new building. But the Hall was troubled from the start when judges started complaining about its small courtrooms. Multiple jailbreaks and bomb threats followed. The building never closes and an average of 3,000 people come through its doors every day.
Architect and historian Steve Wiser says the Hall of Justice was a fascinating building when new. The 'Brutalist' or 'Modernist' style was popular at the time and won several awards. "The interior space was very cool." But he said the past 40 years have not been kind to that style of architecture. "It's not cool anymore, it's no longer around, and that's for the better," he said. "Downtown Louisville in the mid 1970's was not a great place to be. There was concern over urban crime, so little glass was used in the building."
Attorney Maury Kommor has been plying his trade for 29 years in the building, which he says is grimy from years of tobacco smoke. The jail space on top of it is even worse, he says, with "stains of blood and who knows what else stamped into the walls and concrete slab floors."
He recalls a divorce case he was involved in where the woman perched on a ledge on the exterior of the Hall threatening to jump. Kommor said a deputy sheriff told her, 'If you really want to get at your husband, you'd be better off alive.' Another deputy grabbed her and pulled her down. "That sort of thing stays with you and it takes its toll," Kommor said. "You see all sides of emotions," he continued "Happiness, anger, crying, violence, nervous breakdowns and emotional turmoil, starting every morning at 8 a.m.," five days a week. The building is like the New York Stock Exchange, with people screaming, yelling and crying. I'd be lying if I say it didn't affect me," he said. "Does white middle America know anything about an average day there?"
Robert Smith, who shines shoes in the building, says "All the craziness of the city comes through here. It amazes me that people who come here want to keep giving their money away. You've got to pay the lawyer, the court and more if they put you in a program. The place is all about the money," he said.
Still, Kommor says, the Hall of Justice is so familiar to him that it has become comfortable. "I know when I open the door at 6th and Jeff that I'm home again," he said.

The Mountain Santa
Loretta Lynn's voice breaks the silence of a dreary Saturday morning in Sunshine Hollow, blasting loudly through her rendition of Blue Christmas and alerting the residents of Santa's arrival. In most Christian cultures there are traditions and tales of St. Nick bringing gifts to boys and girls. In the mountains of Appalachia Santa arrives on the tailgate of Ford pickup truck. Behind him a caravan of elves dole out presents to any child in sight.
If Mike Howard were applying for the job of a department store Santa he would be soundly rejected. Too short, too wiry and no beard. Dressing up as Santa is easy, being Santa takes great faith. Howard, a retired coal miner has been the Mountain Santa to children of Harlan, County, Kentucky since 1974. The youngest of 11 children, Howard, 64, watched his brother play Santa at a church Christmas and was taken by the joy on the children's faces. The next year he took over and quickly realized the great need to share gifts to all the hollows of Harlan.
Like all missions, Mountain Santa gets by on the kindness and donations of others. "I go to the mountains every day and pray and the Lord gives me the money I need," says Howard. Volunteers from Louisville, Tennessee, Mississippi and North Carolina pour into 268 Santa Lane leading up to Christmas to wrap presents and help with deliveries. This year Mike will hand out one hundred truckloads of gifts in six different trips through the county.
"This means a lot to children who don't have nothing. There are a lot of people out here who don't have Christmas and Mike helps-out every year. He's a wonderful person," says Debbie Hensley, who carried home an armload of presents from the passing Santa. "It makes you feel so good inside knowing that you've done something good. I always cry on Christmas Eve when the last run is empty. I wish I had more gifts to keep going." Says Howard.
He's not the rotund Santa on a Coca-Cola ad, but to the poor children of the Harlan County he is very real. Their memories of his coming will live with them for a lifetime.

Lebanon Kentucky Sweetheart Session / Nick + Hope
Hope +Nick Sweetheart Session in Lebanon, KY / Kentucky Engagement Photographer Rebecca Beatty
"All at once everything is different, now that I see you ..." - Flynn Rider
I love that I work with clients who have a unique idea that they want to do with their session! So when I had to cancel a trip to Tennessee to see a lantern festival, I still wanted to somehow take some lantern photos! Let me introduce, Hope and Nick. When Hope saw my model call for a couple to do a sweetheart session with, she was all over it! When I told her that lanterns were going to be involved, she went a tad bit crazy, BUT crazy with excitement!
Without further distractions, check out one of my favorite sweetheart sessions to date!

No. 85 Stay Fit. Don't Look Back!/
No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God." Luke 9:62
This line was preceded by Jesus asking people to follow Him. They came up with one excuse after another to procrastinate. I'll bury my dad first, or say good bye to my friends and family. Jesus wanted their full and immediate commitment. For Jesus, asking them to follow Him was like helping Lot and his wife flee from Sodom and Gomorrah and telling them not to look back. But those fellows didn't see that.
God told Lot not to look back to watch his hometown being destroyed because it was thoroughly infected by rapists who stupidly tried to take the Angel of The Lord, but Lot's wife was curious to see the conflagration and turned into a pillar of salt.
Our journey to the kingdom of God is not a physical one like Lot's or even like the would-be followers would have been. So, let's just forget about this Mark and believe that it has nothing to do with us.
Except that these two stories repeat the very broad and familiar requirements to obey God without question (because we don't know all His reasons) and to be fully committed to the narrow path Christ ushers us onto in our spiritual journey to the kingdom of God, a.k.a. the Land of Immortality.
Looking back at our old life while aspiring to immortality is like trying to walk simultaneously on the highway and the narrow path.
This Mark reminds us to choose one or the other; it also reminds us that God didn't give us eyes on the back of our heads for a very good reason. Perhaps racehorses aren't the only ones who should be fitted with blinders.

Catching a Buzz, Part two
Get the Most from Your Guitar Tech by "Speaking Repairman"
Gary Brawer
LAST ISSUE WE talked about mechanical buzzing. This time around we'll list some tips for troubleshooting unwanted electrical noises.
Almost daily, I am asked to diagnose electrical hum, buzz, or crackle. The first thing I do is narrow it down. Is it the pickups, or is it the wiring/shielding? Here is an easy way to tell: Touch any metal where you plug in the guitar (output jack or metal jack plate). If the buzz goes away, it usually means your guitar is in need of a good shielding— which is typically done with shielding paint or copper foil. Keep in mind, you should be able to touch the strings and have the same effect. If you touch your strings and the noise gets louder, there is a good chance your strings are not grounded (or they are coated, as some coated strings do not ground quite as well.) Just by grounding your strings you can bring down the hum. This is accomplished by grounding a bridge stud, a spring claw, or a trapeze tailpiece.
If you're touching the strings or metal and you still have hum, I'm betting you have single-coil pickups. We all know that single-coil pickups have a different kind of hum that will not go away unless "bucked" by another coil. (Get it?) In the past, Fender, Music Man, and others have tried hiding a dummy coil on the guitar to cancel the hum. Most pickup manufacturers now make hum-cancelling versions of your favorite single-coils, and these pickups sound better than ever. There are some new inventions in the search for the hum-free single-coil sound. Ilitch Chiliachki came up with a unique product, which is also sold by John Suhr. He has embedded a coil into a Stratocaster backplate, a P-90 control cover, and a Telecaster pickguard to act as a hum-cancelling coil to your existing pickups. The system is tunable and, when set up correctly, has a very small effect on your sound and allows you to keep your stock pickups.
Two methods of shielding: The left side is copper tape, the right side is shielding paint. They both get the job done. I solder the seams of the copper and hardwire it to ground to assure a solid connection. To ground the conductive paint, I have a piece of copper tape under the paint that's wired to ground.
Other potential sources of noise are your guitar's volume and tone pots and output jack. Here's an important tip for tightening loose, crackly potentiometers: To keep the pot from spinning and breaking off all the wires inside, be sure to turn the post to the full counter-clockwise position and hold it in place while you tighten the nut. Likewise, for the output jack you can use a flathead screwdriver to keep the loose jack from spinning while tightening the nut. If your output jack is staticky, roll some fine sandpaper up like a cigarette, and sand out the corrosion from the inside of the jack.
If you hear crackling when turning a volume or tone control, try cleaning them. Places like Radio Shack sell potentiometer cleaner/lube. Be sure it says "Safe for Plastics" so you don't melt your pickguard or mess up your guitar's finish. A small squirt in the pot, and then twisting the knob back and forth to work it in will most often do the trick. If you have a hollowbody guitar and can't access the pot, Stewart-MacDonald sells a pot cleaning cap—a cool attachment that screws to the top of the pot and forces cleaner down from the top.
Hopefully these tips and tricks can give you a better understanding of these problems and how to discuss and remedy them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
What is franchising?
Franchising allows you to have all of the benefits of owning your own business, but with the added support of a recognized brand and an established method of doing business.
As a Play Street Museum franchisee, you can be your own boss while working with a highly regarded and rapidly growing brand, receive in depth training and tools, with the stability of a strong network of experienced support as you develop and grow your business.
As we began to research different approaches to expansion we were captivated by how effectively a properly structured franchise program would be able to tightly link our growth objectives with our Play Street Museum purpose, which is to serve, empower, impact, and inspire our team members, children & families, our communities, and our world.
For Play Street Museum to maximize its global impact we believe we need to focus our efforts on cultivating a passionate network of Play Street Museum franchise owners who are already deeply embedded geographically and thus ideally positioned to inspire children & families in their community.
Why did Play Street Museum
decide to franchise?
Franchisees must meet the Play Street Museum minimum financial requirements and be in a position to fund the franchise investment, including working capital and any personal living expenses during the set-up period. Start-up costs vary based on the size, theme, and location of your Play Street Museum location.
Based on the museum's location, theme, and size, the total initial investment cost for a new Play Street Museum Metro Market location ranges from $218,072 - $400,004. We require all prospective franchisees to be able to verify a minimum of $75k - $125k in liquid capital to invest. A co-applicant may also assist in meeting these requirements. Typical financing through SBA requires 20-30% owner contribution into the business.
We require franchisees to have a minimum net worth of $250k.
What are the financial requirements to be considered for a Play Street Museum franchise?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and various state regulations restrict our ability to share specific profit projections outside of what is included in our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
To learn more about the financial aspects of a Play Street Museum franchise, we provide you with our FDD with certain financial disclosures when you are further along in the evaluation process.
As with any business, the success of your Play Street Museum location is dependent on you, the owner. This includes how you run your business, your personal goals, and the decision you make each day. We offer you a strong and growing brand with comprehensive tools and support along the way that will serve as a firm foundation for your success.
How much can I expect to earn as a Play Street Museum franchisee?
We are with you at every step of your journey... from site selection, to comprehensive classroom and hands on training, to working alongside of you when you greet your first guest on opening day.
We are passionate about your success and that means helping you in selecting a location as well as in designing and outfitting your location so that you can have your Play Street Museum up and running as quickly as possible.
We will equip you with the many components that can help you rapidly grow your business and optimize your marketing investment. This includes a turnkey and customized website, a portfolio of proven marketing and advertising tools, and a social media strategy that fully leverages the Play Street Museum brand in your local market.
Play Street Museum is committed to ongoing innovation through the continued expansion of our proprietary curriculum, seasonal marketing programs, and uniquely curated exhibits & toy collections to name just a few examples.
Our goal is to provide you with the tools and assistance you need so that you can maximize your effectiveness in positively impacting the lives of children in your community.
What type of support can I expect?
What type of training will I receive?
Our comprehensive training program covers the many aspects required to successfully start, operate, and grow your Play Street Museum franchise.
The training curriculum is delivered in four different formats: approximately 25% is classroom/team based; 25% is on site in an existing Play Street Museum location; 25% is on site at your new location; with the remaining 25% being web based.
Major topics areas include Museum Operations (staffing, software systems, guest relations, facility maintenance, operational procedures); Business Acumen (legal, finance, accounting, general administration, training); Growth & Development (sales, marketing, advertising, community outreach).
We estimate the length of time between signing the franchise agreement and opening the franchised business will be between 60 - 120 days.
How long will it take to get
my own Play Street Museum location open for business?
Can I own more than one
Play Street Museum location?
Absolutely! We believe that in many markets the best approach for a franchisee is to own more than one location so that they can capitalize on the short and longer term benefits multiple units can provide an owner.
This information is not intended as an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, a franchise. It is for information purposes only.
Currently, the following states regulate the offer and sale of franchises: California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Within the U.S.A., we offer franchises solely by means of our Franchise Disclosure Document. There are also countries outside the U.S.A. that have laws governing the offer and sale of franchises.
If you are a resident of one of these states or countries, we will not offer you a franchise unless and until we have complied with pre-sale registration and disclosure requirements that apply in your jurisdiction.

Building in the Deep: 7 Feats of Underwater Engineering
Giving new meaning to "Under the Sea," these structures are designed to not only survive underwater but to thrive there.

Giving new meaning to "Under the Sea," these structures are designed to not only survive underwater but to thrive there.
View Gallery
Poseidon Resorts, Fiji
While construction has been on hold for years,
will have no trouble hooking guests if it's ever completed. Plans call for 24 undersea suites with 4-inch-thick transparent plexiglass windows to let guests take in the world under the sea. Although all the suites will be connected to a permanently fixed main corridor, they'll be detachable stand-alone modules that can resurface if necessary.
Visitors would access Poseidon's suites
with carbon fiber doors. This form of entry and exit allows the resort to keep its interior at surface pressure, lessening the possibility of any physiological side effects such as decompression.

Water Discus Hotel, Dubai
Dubai is no stranger to extreme feats of engineering, and its
Water Discus Hotel
aims to become the first underwater lodging in the emirate. The structure will include both an above-water and below-water section (both are disc-shaped like something out of
Star Wars,
but their actual sizes aren't yet determined). The above-water disc will be connected to a series of satellite discs housing the hotel's spa, garden, and swimming pool. The below-water disc features 21 two-person rooms, a dive center, and a bar that will let you drink with the fishes. A vertical shaft containing an elevator and a staircase will offer access between the two.
Design mechanics call for five solid legs to extend down from the lower disc and stabilize the structure on the seabed, while keeping it easily mobile in case the undersea portion needs to resurface for repairs. In the unlikely event of flooding, the hotel's satellite discs are buoyant and can be released and used as flotation devices. Additional high-tech perks include underwater internet and an upper-deck landing pad for helicopters. Oh, and the hotel rotates.

Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, Maldives
Seafood takes on new meaning at Rangali Island's underwater restaurant, a 14-seat eatery located 16 feet below the water's surface. The boat-size structure is encased in a transparent acrylic tunnel offering 270-degree exterior views, so it's almost like dining in a fish tank. Visitors descend into the restaurant via a spiral staircase that's located in a thatched pavilion at the end of a jetty.
was built in Singapore and then transported to the Maldives, where workers situated the 175-ton structure on the sea floor by filling it with 85 tons of sand ballast. They then attached the restaurant to four steel piles (each of which had been vibro-hammered approximately 15 feet into the seabed) with concrete.

Aquarius Reef Base/Flickr
Aquarius Reef Base, Florida Keys
Underwater research laboratories, more popular in the 1960s and '70s, have gone out of style.
Aquarius is the only one still operating
. Owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and operated by the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, Aquarius is an 80-ton cylindrical chamber located 63 feet underwater and 3-1/2 miles offshore. It's attached to a 116-ton baseplate for stability.
The laboratory is divided into a live and work area, Main Lock, and an Entry Lock that contains a bathroom, electrical panels, and communications and life support systems. These two parts are then connected by an air lock. Aquarius also has a wet porch that offers entry to the sea through a moon pool, which keeps the chamber at ambient pressure—the same pressure as the water outside. This overall design lets workers return to the surface without having to use a decompression chamber.

Jules' Undersea Lodge, Key Largo, Fla.
What began in the early '70's as La Chalupa Research Laboratory has been an undersea lodge for the past 30 years. Guests dive down to the
submersed hotel
and enter via a 5 x 7–foot moon pool at the bottom of the structure, 21 feet below the sea's surface. Compressed air keeps the lodge from flooding.
Despite the lodge's lack of above-water entry you don't have to be a certified diver to stay overnight. While noncertified divers once descended to the lodge by breathing air pumped through a large hose, Jules' now offers a 3-hour course to assure safe entry.

Lloyd Godson/www.lloydgodson.com
BioSUB, Australia
Though built as a temporary structure, BioSUB helped show the world what it's like to live underwater. In 2007, Australian marine biologist Lloyd Godson spent nearly two weeks in the 10-foot-long yellow steel box, 15 feet beneath the surface of a lake. BioSUB's energy came from a mix of onshore solar panels and Godson's pedal power. Oxygen came via an onsite algae garden housed in a biocoil. (It's a coiled plastic tube that acts as a gas-exchange system and runs on carbon dioxide, light, and water—in this case, Godson's own urine.)

Cancun Underwater Museum (MUSA), Mexico
Opened to the public in November 2009, the Cancun Underwater Museum features more than 400 life-size sculptures sitting on the sea floor in 28 feet of water. It's a museum without walls, and each work of art is made from pH neutral clay that encourages the growth of corals and attracts sea life so the sculptures will grow and change over time.
Artist Jason de Caires Taylor plans to add 63 new pieces to the museum this July, including a kinetic sculpture boasting wings made of living fan coral and
The Listener,
which features an underwater device that projects nearby sounds. MUSA is accessible to divers and snorkelers.

This week, we will be introducing candidates for the 1st District seat on the Lee's Summit City Council. By means of introduction, your Link 2 Lee's Summit has asked each candidate a series of questions as it relates to the business and economic growth of the city. Today, we introduce the Susan Coffman. Candidate Franklin Tatro declined to respond. Rob Binney was introduced on Monday.
Link 2 Lee's Summit: How do you feel the business environment has changed since the opening of the Development Center two years at City Hall?
Ms. Coffman: Because of the Development center more businesses have found our community attractive. I have heard many compliments during city council sessions from these businesses regarding the ease of establishing their businesses in our community. The EDC has been very active in selling our community to the business world. We have attracted businesses with higher paying jobs. Cerner is one example.
Link 2 Lee's Summit: What role do you see the City Council playing in the community's economic development endeavors?
Ms. Coffman: City Council is responsible for making sure the tax incentives are equitable. It is important that the Council balances the cost of Tax incentives with the benefit of improvements which might be made. Also, city council should be responsive to citizens when there are concerns about a business being located in their neighborhoods. Example of concerns that might need to be addressed are traffic and safety challenges.
One last thing regarding economic development. With transportation being one of the most problematic challenges for our entire community (Kansas City area) it is important to establish a competitive job market in our (Lee's Summit) community so that people can walk or bike to work. This is not only a desire of some millennials, but also a desire of experienced members of our community. Citizens want to live, work and play in this great suburb. The only way this can be done is by attracting the right kind of businesses.
Link 2 Lee's Summit: What is economic development to you? How do you define it?
Ms. Coffman: Economic Development is attracting sustainable businesses in our community. In order for our community to maintain the quality of life we have now, these businesses should offer competitive salaries with the region. It is also important to attract a variety of businesses in order to be attractive to our diverse population.
Link 2 Lee's Summit: As the Charter Review Commission looks at our City Charter, what, if any, changes to the Charter would you like to see made?
Ms. Coffman: The City Council Districts are extremely large. I would advocate for either the districts being divided or additional council people per district so the citizens receive the representation they deserve. City Council members are doing an admiral job now, but there can always be improvement. Communication is always a challenge.
Link 2 Lee's Summit: What is the most fulfilling volunteer, board, commission or committee task you've performed in Lee's Summit in the last year, and why?
Ms. Coffman: As chair of the Human Services Advisory Board, I have been fortunate to become involved with many of the nonprofits in this community who work tirelessly to address the needs of our less fortunate citizens. It is a rewarding experience to see them working together and to share resources in order to assist this population in reaching their highest potential.
Link 2 Lee's Summit: If elected, which liaison assignments would you seek
Ms. Coffman: I would like to be a liaison to Parks and Recreation or the Housing Authority.
Link 2 Lee's Summit: Day to day, what is the single most important quality of a city council member?
Ms. Coffman: It is important on a day to day basis for council members to respect the ideas and concerns of others. They need to be great listeners and even though they might disagree with the stated concept it is important that they respect the opinion of the other person.

Did you know that "unresolved grief is everywhere"?
Did a death, divorce, the end of a romantic relationship or the 40 other losses that a person might experience such as moving, pet loss, or a change in finances cause it? Regardless of the cause, you know how you feel and it probably isn't good.
People say you have to let go and move on in your life, but they don't tell you how.
The Grief Recovery Method Support Group developed and refined over the past 30 years, teaches you how to recover from loss with supportive guidance every step of the way. You can learn more about the program HERE
Don't wait any longer! It's never too soon or too late to start moving toward healing.
We will meet for 8 weeks, 2 hours/week and group size will be limited.
This is not a drop-in support group.
This is an action program.

Some buttwipe cut me off in traffic yesterday.
I'm a pretty chill guy so I didn't try to "teach him a lesson."
Other people's stupidity doesn't rile me up. It's why Equanimity is one of the 3 E's of the Hippopotamus Republic.
(btw, equanimity - mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situations)
Anyways, I watched the buttwipe cut off a Mazda MPV (an old school van lol) a few cars in front of me. Mr. Mazda wasn't havin' it though.
He must have skipped the chapter on equanimity. He sped up and cut off the Mr. Buttwipe.
I lost sight of them as they travelled down the street.
About 5 minutes later, I pulled up to a red light and BOTH of them were there. Mr. Buttwipe and Mr. Mazda, yelling and screaming at each other.
My point? Nobody "won". They both ended up in the same place.
(not to mention they could have killed themselves)
That's why you question other people and their actions. Don't blindly follow advice. Don't base your observations on their words. I would never take any kind of advice from either of those guys.
Rather, think about the results of their actions.
98 out of 100 people will NEVER have the health or body they want.
68% of America is overweight or obese (a much higher percent is unhappy with how they look, how they feel, and the state of their health).
So why let idiots like Mr. Mazda give you advice or influence your health decisions?
Instead, look for people who have the results you want. Then see what similarities there are among them.
For strength, health, and fat loss?
1. JERF (just eat real food)
2. Get as strong as humanly possible
3. Be around others who know how to do this
4. Be patient and stay consistent
Examples of stupid shit:
put sticks of butter in your coffee
drink apple cider vinegar for fat loss
do 32 hours of cardio a day
light weights and high reps for "toning"
not lifting weights because it makes you bulky
I could go on...

Newsnet Feature Article Appears in KitPlus Magazine
An article on the Vislink newsnet solution was recently published in KitPlus Magazine, in conjunction with their focus on the transition to full IP video solutions. Newsnet is a revolutionary approach to enabling IP-centric ENG workflows, and enables broadcasters to to maximize their coverage, fully leverage studio assets and deliver a richer experience for their viewers.
Newsnet creates a bi-directional high-speed IP wireless data link utilizing BAS spectrum that can be relied upon without fear of contention, congestion or blocking. This results in higher production values, lower operational costs, and elevated workflow efficiency.
A high bandwidth IP connection created via the network can be leveraged to further enhance news production values through high-speed file sharing, as well as enabling all other IP-centric tools in remote locations such as phone systems, closed captioning, automation and remote asset management. IFB and talkback/comms can also use the link. A crew in the field can access the studio network via secure Wi-Fi or a wired connection in the truck, allowing the studio's time-sensitive social media accounts to be updated from the field.

Users of BNC BiblioShare File Quality Reports may have noticed the appearance of a new citation and a couple of users have been in touch to ask "What's changed?" so I thought I should explain.
The new citation applies to PR.15.3 Other text type code, and states:
484 Other Text Composite: Code 99 - Country of manufacture - "is mandatory for every physical product" NAm Data BP
For those who've always wondered, the "NAm Data BP" part of a citation is telling you to look for a reference in the joint BISG/BNC Best Practices for Product Metadata: Guide for North American Data Senders and Receivers. (This venerable document is soon to be released in an improved EPUB-based format but it will still be the equivalent to the June 1, 2015 PDF that everyone should already have for reference.)
Nothing has changed
Country of manufacture has been listed as mandatory for years in the North American best practices and it's critical enough to have its own table of contents listing. It's not obscure and I've always had a citation for it, albeit one I didn't make live in the quality reports until recently. I'll quote the business case provided:
Data on Country of Manufacture is critical information for the supply chain. Products manufactured or shipped from a given country may be embargoed or subject to tariffs in another.
Retailers and distributors need this information to know whether they're able to source this product and whether there may be additional expense in doing so. This information is also legally required in some countries, so it's a best practice to include it for all physical products available internationally.
Then why was the citation made live?
Funnily enough, a major Canadian retailer called to say that they couldn't find Country of Manufacture in the metadata feeds they received.
I checked BiblioShare's data and confirmed that in the ONIX 2.1 data we have, it was only available on about 10% of records, with the vast majority of those being from one major US publisher, with some availability from university presses. From a retailer's point-of-view, 10% isn't actionable.
I went a little further and checked our 3.0 records, where I found a comparable percentage even though BiblioShare has much less ONIX 3.0 metadata. Neither of the original 2.1 data suppliers provide us with ONIX 3.0. The weird thing was, it was again mostly from two suppliers: a different major US publisher and a university press. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't get new metadata from a 3.0 feed!
The citation hadn't previously been live because we try not to have every possible citation on — just the ones that are relevant. Country of Manufacture fell in one of those grey areas where no one was asking for it in ONIX but it was important enough to be added as an ONIX 2.1 code list addition in 2010 to match its superior support in ONIX 3.0.
A major retailer saying they need a piece of metadata that's been long identified as critical to their needs isn't exactly new. It may, however, be new that they're looking to get it from the ONIX feed, which is enough for us to throw the switch on the citation.
So that's what changed: Retailers are looking less at the data they get and trying more to base their expectations and requests on the published standards, which are based on industry discussions seeking solutions to industry problems.
Disagree? Please do: Contact firstname.lastname@example.com and say why Country of Manufacture shouldn't be used in the Canadian supply chain — or maybe why it should be used but not required in ONIX. Do you support it in 3.0 but not 2.1? That works for me.

Illusionist looks like a rocker, but acts like Houdini
Illusionist Joel Meyers will headline an upcoming fundraiser for St. Clair County Historical Society, thanks to family connections. His wife's grandmother serves on the board.
"He's pretty famous, all over the world and also at our family gatherings because he entertains us," said Daphne Sumner, 79, of Millstadt. "He's always got a new trick to show us."
Joel, 30, of St. Louis, is taking a break from his national tour of 50 colleges campuses to perform Nov. 12 at the society's Historia Fall Gala at St. Clair County Country Club (reservations required by Friday).
"I call myself an 'interactive illusionist,'" Joel said by telephone from Florida. "The kind of magic that I do involves interaction with the audience. I couldn't do it without them."
In many cases, audience members are used to examine props, such as a needle and thread, which Joel swallows separately before pulling the threaded needle back out. Other acts are more traditional.
"I get out of the same type of straight jacket that Houdini used, and I beat his time," Joel said. "I get out in two minutes. Houdini took three minutes."
Joel describes his shows as engaging, funny, scary, thrilling, dangerous, terrifying, happy and sad. He maintains a rocker-like persona with his leather jackets, spiked hair and dark eye makeup.
We depend on events like this to support our educational programs and maintain our properties and our collections.
Will Shannon on the Historia Fall Gala
"He's a very captivating entertainer," said Daphne, who has watched his videos but will be seeing him perform live for the first time in Belleville.
This is the third year for the society's Historia Fall Gala fundraiser. Joel's show is called "A Magical Historia." Tickets cost $75, which includes dinner, an oral auction and wine pull.
"We're a non-profit," said Curator Will Shannon. "We get no government funding. We are 100 percent self-supporting. So we depend on events like this to support our educational programs and maintain our properties and our collections."
Joel grew up in Eldon, Mo., near Jefferson City. He got interested in magic at age 6 when his father taught him some tricks, such as floating a dollar bill above his hand and linking two rubber bands.
"My dad always encouraged creativity," said Joel, who began going with him on business trips and doing street-corner magic in tourist areas such as New York's Times Square, the Key West boardwalk and Santa Monica pier.
Then Joel started getting hired for corporate events and private parties. At 13, he opened for Wayne Newton in Branson, Mo.
I get out of the same type of straight jacket that Houdini used, and I beat his time. I get out in two minutes. Houdini took three minutes.
Joel Meyers on one of his illusions
Joel met his wife, Maggie Meyers, Daphne's granddaughter, about nine years ago through his sister. Today, Maggie works as his manager, booking up to 50 shows a year.
"I don't love traveling necessarily," Joel said. "I always say, 'I get paid for traveling, but I do my shows for free.'"
Joel has appeared on reality TV competitions such as "Fake Off," "America's Got Talent," "Wizard Wars" and "Penn & Teller: Fool Us." His "Fake Off" team, "The Surrealists," came in second.
Joel has performed in Mexico, China and Europe, but this year, he's focusing mainly on college campuses around the United States.
"College shows are very exciting and very honest," he said. "College students really let you know if they like you, and I enjoy that. My personality works well with that."

When dealing with money, we should make sure that we are able to manage, multiply and maintain it. There are different pathways we can choose to improve our success with money. The key is to understand what we should do with money and manage money that we have earned. This allows us to pay our bills comfortably and we are able to work to attain our financial goals. There are methods we can do to manage money successfully. As an example, we need to budget properly, as it is often considered as the first step to gain financial independence.
Budget should be considered as the basis of any financial decision. However, we need to be honest about our conditions if we want to budget properly. Budgeting doesn't have to be complex. We can start by creating a simple spreadsheet about our monthly payments. There are different categories and each family could have a few unique categories in their budget. However, a family budget may include components like transportation, daily expenses, house, debt payments and others. After creating even a simple budget, many people are surprised at how much money they waste on inessentials.
We could realize that we depend too much on credit cards and loans to finance our lifestyle. This could be something that's not sustainable financially and put us deeper into debt problems. We may also put aside our bonuses to purchase luxury items, instead using them for better purposes. With a simple budget, we could have an idea where our money is going and how we could control over our finances better. If we want to improve our budget better, there are many family budget templates in Excel format that we can download.
With good budget, we should be able to save consistently. Saving money should be considered as a normal process for everyone and even billionaires need to control their expenses. In many cases, we should be able to deprive ourselves of less luxury to put more money on our savings account. Budget should also help us adjust our attitude and we will realize how much we have earned. This should allow us to save money without impoverishing ourselves. There are things we can do to improve our savings, such as setting aside ten cents for every dollar we earn.
Sensible people would borrow wisely, since borrowing money excessively for inessential things can really harm our financial situation. We should be aware of the difference between good debt and bad debt. Money that we borrow should be used for productive purposes, such as starting a business or buying a house. Bad debts are those that are used for less essential consumer spending. In general, if we plan to spend money on luxurious things, we should set aside money for essentials and regular savings, then save the rest for future plans, such as travelling or buying expensive gadgets. We shouldn't sabotage our future by borrowing money to finance our expensive lifestyle.

Last Saturday was a fixture between Twickenham and Teddington at Broom Road Recreation Ground. If you've ever tried to play cricket on this ground, you'll understand why I wasn't particularly pleased losing the toss and being stuck in. Why? Well, let me put it this way - there are mattresses dumped in laybys that have more bounce than this pitch. It was characteristically awful, which essentially meant that back foot shots were pretty much impossible to play.
There was some team management to sort out before we started as one player hadn't got the message that he was playing and Taus and Shaz breezed in about 1/2 hour late. However, Nigel Owen was good enough to dust off his whites and turn up at short notice, so we had 11.
Garry Meredith and I (Matt O'Toole) opened for Teddington. We were quickly 1-1 as a low one trapped Garry in front and whilst I managed to hit a few 4s, I'm not exaggerating when I say that I then got a good ball which started on leg and then swung around to clip my off stump (if you don't believe me, ask Phil who was umpiring at the time). To be fair, I was lucky I got the runs I did (13), because Phil was later to admit that I was probably LBW in a previous over, but he was reluctant to give me out simply because it would have meant giving me out for a duck and he didn't feel he could do that after my ton the previous week. I don't think those are the rules, Phil! ;) At this point we were 13-2. Neil D'Mello and Faz Ahmed got us to 43-3 when Neil was out and young Oliver Khan was playing quite sensibly until he also departed and we found ourselves 55-4. However, we were then to rely on the old heads of Phil Eastland and Faz Ahmed to get us to a more comfortable position, as they sensibly knocked the ball around and managed to add a partnership of 102, before Phil was out for a very credible 32. Faz eventually departed for 68 (3 x 4s and 2 x 6s), whilst the only other notable thing to happen during our innings was that Stan Nicholson was umpiring in the final over when he needed to have been putting his pads on. We could have declared there and then and foregone a couple of balls but Nigel had just come out to face, so Stan agreed to bat without pads, faced one ball and was duly run out. Still, brave to face any bowler without pads - cricket balls against shins tend to hurt! We finished on 187ao off exactly 50 overs, a credible effort on that ground and perfectly defendable.
The opposition then decided that tea was going to be a 'make your own sandwich' affair. Fair enough, I suppose, but the first time I'd seen an opposition do that.
To say their reply was slow would be an understatement. They were crawling along for just over a run an over for at least the first 20 overs and we should have had their burly opener out a few times. He was eventually to part for 24 (top scoring for them) as they pitifully blocked almost from the outset. Faz returned the best figures of 6-2-17-3, but Archie Talman also bowled very well to pick up figures of 6-2-13-2. In truth, none of our bowlers bowled particularly badly and all of them returned very economical figures, but it was definitely helped by Twickenham's defensive mindset. We persevered anyway and I even got Nigel to get out some of his leg spin to try and get the last few wickets, as I'd heard he once bowled for our first team. However, after 41 overs, they were 97 for 6 when I told Nigel that Phil Eastland was nicking his last one. Phil then hobbled in to bowl left arm around and their batsman was calmly knocking the ball back to Phil, when Phil announced to the batsman what he was going to do the very next ball. The batsman, for whatever reason, then popped the ball straight back into Phil's hands, so the innings ended on a wicket maiden for Phil, in what must have been his first over in some years.
So we picked up another 4 points and stayed third in the league. Not a bad effort all round.
