7th Harrogate Christmas
Market success!
The 2018 Christmas Market on Montpellier Hill and St
Mary's Walk was very successful from almost all points of view. There were 200
traders, 142 pre-booked coaches and an estimated 80,000 visitors over the four
Whilst at times on Saturday some of the aisles were
full, the many visitors kept moving along. Most of the stalls were set back
further from the footpaths this year so that visitors could stop and talk to
traders without blocking the way for the crowds walking past. Visitors and
traders praised the organisation and layout of the Market in what was a magical
setting when the lights came on each evening.
Harrogate Christmas
Market sold out!
The seventh Harrogate Christmas Market is another total sell-out, with all
200 stalls being booked mostly by Yorkshire-based Traders offering a wide
range of British-made gifts, clothes, jewellery, food and drink.
The four-day event runs from Thursday, November 15 to Sunday, November 18 on
Montpellier Hill. The opening hours are being adjusted slightly to meet
increasing demands from Traders, Visitors and Coach Operators – opening one hour
less on Thursday and Friday but one hour extra on Saturday and Sunday.

Sixth Harrogate Christmas market
most successful yet!
The sixth
Harrogate Christmas Market was undoubtedly the most successful since it started
in 2012. The very attractive location on St Mary's Walk at the bottom of
Montpellier Hill, was filled with 200 varied stalls offering a wide range of
Christmas gifts for house and home, friends and family, together with a variety
of food and drink from all over Yorkshire.

The sixth Harrogate Christmas
Market is again a total sell-out, with all 200 stalls being booked mostly by
Yorkshire-based Traders offering
a wide range of British-made gifts, clothes, jewellery, food and drink.
The four-day event runs from
Thursday, November 16 to Sunday, November 19 in the centre of Harrogate.
Organiser Brian Dunsby, who
leads the team of volunteers, said, "The positive feedback from last year's
traders made us think we would
have high demand again this year, but it has once again exceeded all
expectations. This enables us to
be very selective about our traders, so we choose those who are based in
or near Yorkshire, offering
British produce and products which can't be found on the high street. As well as
giving them an opportunity to
reach a new audience, it makes the Harrogate Christmas Market a unique
experience for our visitors.
We have a lot of traders
returning and asking for their usual stall locations, as many customers come
to see them every year. The Food
and Drink Marquee is now full of independent local producers with small
stalls around the walls, and
plenty of tables and chairs in the middle for visitors to rest, whilst enjoying
wide choice of hot and cold
food, and non-alcoholic drinks".

Mark Liebenow believes men have been conditioned for too long to hide their grief. It's time to talk about it.
Men have emotions the size of an ocean, but they have an emotional toolbox the size of a walnut for talking about them. Or so we've been told. For some of us it's true. For many of the rest, we just have our priorities mixed up.
When we try to express our grief through this walnut-sized hole, we're so unsure what's going on that the pressure builds up and what comes through is so forceful that it knocks people over. This is a problem for men and women, because we no longer speak the language of grief.
My impression is that men talk less about their emotions than women do. Possibly a lot less. You're probably saying, "Duh!" For many people, showing their grief in public feels like a sign of weakness, of not being in control.
Not talking about grief is not a gender issue, it's a societal problem.
Think of the recent division of opinions about Vice President Joe Biden sharing his grief. A world leader, a person with enormous power, was being human, and some people didn't like this. My feeling is, if you can't cry when your son dies, whether you're male or female, then I wouldn't trust you as a leader. Part of being human is expressing what you're feeling instead of bottling it up.
Women aren't stigmatized the same way as men for showing strong emotions. They're stigmatized in a different way.
My impression is that women often get together to talk about life issues. And yet, even though they have a support network, I think women are also reluctant to share their grief, especially when it lasts longer than a month. Not talking about grief is not a gender issue, it's a societal problem.
Many of us don't share our grief with anyone until our friends force us to talk, if we have good friends. Or we overwork until we collapse, hoping grief will go away, which it won't. Then our lives fall apart and we are put into therapy by professional health people where we are required to talk.
I could have been one of them.
When I was early in grief, I looked at every resource and found little that dealt with the actual experience. Thankfully there are more resources available today, although I still haven't found many that are written by men.
I moved through life perched in my head, and I took enormous pride in getting more work done than anyone else.
I wasn't good at expressing my emotions before death kicked me in the heart. It wasn't because I didn't want to share. I wasn't sure what I was feeling, and I didn't know how to express it.
Men of my generation, and well as the men of the generation before and after, didn't learn how to express feelings when we were growing up. I moved through life perched in my head, and I took enormous pride in getting more work done than anyone else. Emotions got in my way because they weren't productive.
A couple of matters kept me going as I struggled to make sense of grief.
Every week for a long time, one of my friends, and some of my wife's friends whom I barely knew, would show up on my doorstep wanting to hear how grief was going. It was so consistent that I thought someone was coordinating the visits, although I never found out if this was true. I became comfortable sharing because people kept coming back wanting to listen.
There was also an older man, a friend of my in-laws, who lost his wife the year before me. Whenever I thought I was grieving wrong, he'd reassure me that I was doing fine. Simply knowing that my journey was likely to take a year or more instead of one month, kept me from panicking.
Faith can help us cope, but it can also encourage us to deny we are grieving.
It doesn't help that in our society we don't talk about grief. It doesn't help that we hide death away in hospitals and funeral homes. It doesn't help that we have forgotten the rites, rituals, and observances that used to guide people through grief.
Faith can help us cope, but it can also encourage us to deny we are grieving. Biden is going through an honest struggle with his faith. In my compassionate Christian congregation, no one knew what to say for Evelyn dying young and unexpectedly. But I did stumble upon the wisdom of 3000-year-old traditions in Judaism for those who are grieving, and they helped me create a framework for working with grief.
Even if women don't talk about grief when they get together, they still get together. Even without saying anything about grief, they know they have the support of a group of people as they share their feelings in general ways.
My close male friends were compassionate, intelligent, and verbal, but they hadn't experienced the grief of a spouse so our discussions ended up rather one-sided. Yet they were willing to be present and listen. I am grateful for them.
If nothing else works, mute the TV during commercial breaks when watching sports and ask how they're doing.
My whole point is that we need to encourage grieving men to talk about what is going on inside them. We need to provide opportunities where they can share their few sentences of feelings, because even getting this much out will make them feel better. Quality not quantity is the man's way. Women would call this "terse;" men call it "to the point."
Men like to work quietly through their emotions. But grief is a huge event and we need to share with someone about it — friends, support groups, or therapists. It helps to hear someone else's perspective. We can't force men to share, but we can let them know that we're available whenever they feel like sharing, and this leaves the door open.
A one-on-one discussion over coffee is one way to help that isn't intimidating. If nothing else works, mute the TV during commercial breaks when watching sports and ask how they're doing. This will give them until the next commercial break to rummage around inside and find something to say. Bring beer.
Men need to talk about what they're feeling. They need to share their grief before their emotions shut them down, their faces go hard, their hearts turn small and bitter like walnuts, and they no longer care about themselves or anyone else.
Men like to solve problems, but grief isn't a problem to be solved. We can't think our way through this. It's a journey we have to take, and it helps to have someone to talk to on the way.

Honorary awards
Harold George Cogger AM
The degree of Doctor of Science (honoris causa) was conferred upon Harold George Cogger AM at the ceremony held at 9.30am on 26 March 1997.
Dr Cogger is one of Australia's preeminent experts on reptiles and amphibians and served as Deputy Director of the Australian Museum for 19 years, until his recent retirement.
From 'The University of Sydney News', 17 April 1997
Presented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor D J Anderson
I have the honour to present Harold George Cogger for the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa).
Dr Cogger has achieved international recognition for his research on amphibians and reptiles, and served as Deputy Director of the Australian Museum for nineteen years, until his recent retirement. Dr Cogger worked at the Museum throughout his professional life, joining as a cadet Preparator and moving up through the ranks. At the same time, he undertook studies at this institution to further his knowledge and his opportunities within the Museum. In the earliest days, his academic career did not reveal the full promise of what was to come. Indeed, Dr Cogger may be the first person to receive a Doctor of Science from this institution after failing his first-year zoology course here!
He nonetheless persevered, and completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney in 1959. Already keenly interested in reptiles and amphibians, he immediately embarked on a Master's degree to investigate evolutionary relationships within Australian lizards. After obtaining his Master of Science degree in 1961, he transferred to Macquarie University, where he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1970 for detailed ecological research on small desert dragons.
Even before he had received his doctorate, Dr Cogger had become the pre-eminent Australian expert on the biology of amphibians and reptiles. His work encompassed many fields of study, with a strong emphasis on the importance of fieldwork, and the need to take the organism's general biology into account when pursuing specific research projects.
Dr Cogger has written over 100 scientific papers, reports and popular articles. He has also contributed chapters to a number of books, on subjects ranging from the venomous snakes of Australia to the biogeography of the Australian herpetofauna and the conservation of biodiversity.
He is the author of eight books, one of which - "The Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia" - is undoubtedly his best-known work. This profusely illustrated field guide to the entire herpetofauna of Australia was first published in 1975, and was an immediate success. It is now in its seventh printing, and its fifth edition. It is no exaggeration to say that this book, by bringing together a diverse and scattered literature, and through Dr Cogger's individual expertise, transformed the scientific study of Australian reptiles and amphibians. For the first time, herpetologists in Australia and around the world had a reliable compendium with which to appreciate the diversity of the Australian herpetofauna. By quantifying the ways in which these animals contributed to biodiversity, this book has helped to set the conservation agenda in Australia for decades to come.
Dr Cogger has also played a distinguished role in many national and international scientific bodies. He is currently Chair of several major committees, including the Australian Biological Diversity Advisory Committee, the Australian Biological Resources Study, and the Australasian Reptile and Amphibian Advisory Group (under the auspices of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature). He is also Vice-President of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. He has continued to provide active support for the research and teaching activities of the University of Sydney, and has contributed significantly to the close relationship between the University and the Australian Museum: for example, he has played a significant role in encouraging the use of museum collections by research scientists and students of the University.
These positions of responsibility attest to the high regard in which Dr Cogger is held by his colleagues. Less easily documented, but of equal importance, is Dr Cogger's enormous contributions to his field of study by dint of his enthusiastic encouragement of younger workers. He was made a Member of the Order of Australia, General Division, in 1996, "for services to science in the field of herpetology and as Deputy Director of the Australian Museum for 19 years", or, as the Frog and Tadpole Study Group of NSW put it in their newsletter "Queen recognises Cogger the Frogger".
Chancellor, I have great pleasure in presenting Harold George Cogger for admission to the degree of Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa).

I recently sat down with Andy Obermueller, Chief Investment Strategist of Fast-Track Millionaire, for an exclusive interview about a wide range of topics. Below is the exchange that followed
StreetAuthority Daily: Let's start off with some fun... You recently advised your readers to sell their stake in ripple. Did Buffett make you break up with cryptocurrencies?
Andy: I see what you did there. I suppose you're referring to Buffett's comments at the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting...
|---Sponsored Link---
|Capture A Life-Changing Fortune From The Most Profitable Event Of 2018
In 2017, the North American market for legal weed was just under $9 billion. But this year, with recreational weed legal in California and about to become legal in Canada, the legal marijuana industry is set to EXPLODE. It could double in the next 6 months alone... And, according to Ackrell Capital, it could soon grow to $100 billion, causing the stock of many small legal marijuana companies to skyrocket! If you're invested in the right companies, you stand to make an absolute fortune. And we've identified three tiny pot stocks that are expected to hand you the biggest gains. Click here to learn more.
SAD: Yeah, he said something like bitcoin being "rat poison."
Andy: Classic Buffett.
Buffett wants a return on his money. If one had bought gold at the time of Christ, he opined, the compound annual growth rate to now would be infinitesimal. He's right. For the time being, I think we're far better off with productive assets, and that's why I exited ripple at a gain recently. I'd rather park those dollars in one of our aggressive growth picks and pick up a disproportionate gain over time -- like we're doing with our pot stock pick, MedRelief.
SAD: So that's it, you're breaking up with bitcoin. (I'm kidding...)
Andy: OK you got me. You know I'm a huge fan of Mr. Buffett and greatly respect his opinion. But it is worth noting that Buffett is something of a technophobe. Others on Wall Street either have or are in the process of embracing crypto in a huge way. So while I'm glad that we took profits on ripple, I have my own ideas and I'm not by any stretch of the imagination giving up on this space. I will evaluate each opportunity as it comes our way and make the best recommendation I can using the best information available. Stay tuned.
SAD: OK fair enough. Let's switch gears to something more serious. As you know, the 10-year Treasury yield recently crossed the 3% mark. Why was this important?
Andy: The 10-Year has been in the 2% zone since 2011, which is a very long time on Wall Street. Remember the most dangerous words an investor can say: "This time things are going to be different."
We've gotten accustomed to cheap money, such to the point that a lot of people have sort of forgotten that rates move higher sooner or later -- especially in a good economy, which we've got.
While stock investors tend to ignore fixed-income securities, they are nevertheless important -- there's a lot more debt than equity in the world. Rising interest rates are worth paying attention to because rising rates lure money out of the market.
SAD: Explain that for our readers. I don't think a lot of investors understand just how much of a drain rising rates can be on the stock market.
Andy: Two reasons: First, borrowed funds account for a huge portion of Wall Street's daily trading activity, and consequently traders tend to recalibrate their strategies when the cost of borrowed funds rises. Second, if the cost to borrow rises, the reward for lending does, too. If a certain yield were guaranteed -- and the 10-Year Treasury is as close to a guarantee as one can come -- then the ever-present potential for downside market risk becomes less attractive to some investors. The talking heads on the financial channels call this a "flight to quality."
As these two separate factors play out in one-two punch fashion, they tend to feed each other. Bottom line: Absent some sort of terrible global unrest -- God help us -- if there is a factor that's likely to end the long bull run, my best guess is rising bond yields will be it. To be sure, stock traders live in the bondholders' world.
SAD: So what happens next?
Andy: I've said before and I still think that the earnings multiple of the market, which today is elevated by historical standards, will hold until bond yields inch up toward 4%. Make no mistake: That day is approaching.
At its most recent meeting, the central bank left rates unchanged, which was expected. But observers also think the Fed will raise rates twice more this year, and a CNBC survey said 86% of economists expect another increase in June.
That's the past. What's next? My guess is the board of governors is most concerned with inflation. Unemployment is historically low, and data released by the government recently showed that wages and prices are increasing. That's a good thing for working families -- but one can have too much of a good thing. The Fed's game plan seems to be a long, slow rise toward higher rates to contain inflation. That's all there is to it.
As far as my readers, well, you know Fast-Track Millionaire aims to be ahead of the crowd. Always! I don't want you to wait until interest rates are tickling the 4% threshold to think through how you will respond to this -- by then it likely will be too late. Rising yields tend to mean lower stock prices, and the S&P 500 is flat for the year, as I write. The algorithms are always watching -- you can tell that by looking at the spike in sell volume when the market slid when the yield rose above 3%. With all that in mind, we need to think rationally about the best course of action.
SAD: So what are you telling your readers to do if rates keep rising?
Andy: Here's my best recommendation... If the yield on the 10-Year hits 3.7% (up from the current 2.95%) and stays there for three trading sessions, I think that's close enough to 4% to merit action. At that point, the time will have come to decide whether to keep in place the funds allocated to market. Conservative accounts might well want to move some or all of the 80% portion of their portfolios allocated to the broader market into investment-grade corporate bonds. I, for one, would rather latch onto a modest rate of growth -- say 5% -- than to risk losing 10%, 25% or more if the market turns south for an extended period. Remember, strong investment accounts aren't just measured by how well they do when stock prices are rising -- they really shine when they can manage any sort of gain in a down-trending market.
When the tide goes out, it's not just going to impact your S&P fund, it's likely going to affect your investments across the board, including companies in the Fast-Track portfolio. That's no reflection on these companies, it's simply a nod to the macroeconomic reality of rising rates. I don't like to surprise my readers, I want them to be prepared for me to suggest that they buy or add to some of those stocks as they are falling. Right now, that seems easy. "Sure," you think. "I can do that." But the fact is, it's very difficult psychologically for investors to hit "buy" when stocks are falling. You must counter this with hyperrationality, discipline and focus.
Practically speaking, I'm telling my readers to inventory their assets. Assess how you can best move from equities to fixed income. Determine what percentage of your assets you will allocate to each risk -- that is, how much you will move from equities to bonds. Concurrently, remind yourself why you bought the individual stocks you own -- if that has not changed, don't sell when the price falls -- BUY. Research low-cost investment grade bond funds and choose two. Then write your plan and stick to it, knowing and accepting the fact that neither you nor I will ever be able to sell every top and buy every bottom.
SAD: OK, last question. Your subscribers are sitting on a pretty big gain on your pot stock recommendation (about 43% in two months, at last count). What can you tell us about the company that's acquiring this pick?
Andy: Nice try. I'm not going to give away the name of the pick, because it wouldn't be fair to my Fast-Track Millionaire subscribers. (I'm sure they can probably figure it out anyway, but I'm not going to make it easy.) Suffice it to say, we're going to add the acquiring company to our Fast-Track portfolio.
It's a fun exercise to create an ideal cannabis company in your mind and then go looking for it. It's actually a job that I might be the best at given my experience in the cannabis space and in evaluating the potential of cutting-edge companies. What amazes me is how closely this pick matches the ideal company I had in my head. With all those factors in mind, I think it's is an obvious long-term winner that we simply cannot ignore.
SAD: Fair enough, you know I had to try. Thanks for taking the time, Andy.
Andy: You bet, let's do this again soon.
Editor Note: I want to thank Andy once again for taking the time for this quick Q&A. I hope you found it as fascinating as I did.

Sneakers? Check. Morning TV show to pass 40 minutes on an elliptical machine? Check. Soft-core porn advertising for the commercial break? Check.
Who knew you could burn so many extra calories at the local gym just being humiliated by the content of an ad for designer watches? Thanks to Italian fashion icons Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, we can all cringe with embarrassment while three anorexic-looking twentysomethings engage in the latest TV and advertising fad: Sexual threesomes.
You are probably wondering how sexual perversion and timepieces go together in a television commercial. Me, too.
Apparently the target audience for the brand D&G Time includes promiscuous young adults with upward of $650 to spend on a simple wristwatch. I guess when the watch is all you plan to have on at the end of the day, it had better be special.
According to their Web site, designers Dolce and Gabbana's "creativity is the foundation of the new D&G Time commercial. … A luxurious period apartment in Paris is the set for a malicious mademoiselle who abandons herself to provocative games, ending in an upper-class menage a trois." There's little left to the imagination as the shirtless young men ravage the woman on a settee until "the risque situation is interrupted by her rigorous mother, shocked at the sight of such an impudent display." (That's her being shocked in the photo above).
She's not the only one.
Impudent isn't the word that came to mind when I was confronted with this unsavory vignette. Indecent is more like it. Incredulous, too. And also incensed.
This advertisement didn't air after 10 p.m. or on an adult channel, as the Federal Communications Commission requires, but at 10 a.m. during morning chat shows.
According to Parents Television Council President Tim Winter, sexual threesomes now are the rage, in both advertisements and television programming. Earlier this year, PTC successfully campaigned to remove a New York City Calvin Klein billboard with such a depiction spanning the size of building, while the season premier of the teen drama "Gossip Girls" featured a two-episode theme around "three-ways."
It seems our ability to be shocked now is so limited that advertisers and TV writers need to break through every last taboo in order to feel they've "pushed the envelope." Not that they'll get me to buy a stinking watch, but whatever.
We parents, who work hard to shelter our children from inappropriate media, often are dismayed that our efforts to protect our kids' innocence are foiled by advertisers. Families watching wholesome shows or sporting events routinely are sabotaged by commercials such as D&G Time's, with extreme adult content and sexual situations. By comparison, the embarrassing ads for sexual dysfunction remedies now seem tame.
Why aren't advertisers subject to the same decency standards as other television programming? Why aren't there rules to prohibit people like Dolce and Gabbana from polluting our public airways with sexually explicit and inappropriate images targeted to young, impressionable viewers? In fact, the D&G Time ad runs regularly on shows for teens such as the current Fox Broadcasting hit "Glee," so obviously they're trying to reach young people.
The answer is, advertisers are subject to those decency standards, but it's up to the broadcasters – the folks who make money using our public airways – to enforce them by monitoring their advertisers and/or refusing to run offensive commercials. Once again, we need only to follow the money to realize that broadcasters have no incentive to refuse ads simply because they offend us, the viewing audience. They'll run ads from anyone who will write them a check, and times being what they are, decency be damned.
"Broadcasters haven't just lowered their standards, they've erased them," Mr. Winter says.

We all want to own a home, our dream home; your friends have it or have booked one. Buying a home entails a certain peace of mind. Bangalore city is turning out to be the hottest destinations for real estate investors and end users. As a city, it houses many multinationals and offers many job opportunities. It is a cosmopolitan city and offers good housing, recreation, hospitality, jobs and is also an educational hub. It is the silicon valley of India.
Bangalore is a good place for end users to invest in property. Bangalore is considered as a best place for living, and with a lot of NRIs investing, Bangalore market will not face any changes. Several renowned builders have launched their properties in Bangalore and are offering affordable to mid-segment to premium projects. It is better to buy outright than to rent in Bangalore.
Firstly, renting is not cheap anymore in Bangalore, landlords charge exorbitantly to whatever suits their fancies. With a lot of professionals on high salaries who are ready to pay a big rent, renting is becoming difficult. Some landlord demand ten months' rent in advance along with deposits, so one lands up paying quite a chunk and at the end of the day the property is not yours but you will have to vacate it after your lease is over.
Secondly, Bangalore is witnessing a steady 13% annual price appreciation rate in the residential real estate sector since the past four years. Buying a property is a better option than renting one because you are assured of dividends in the future.
Thirdly, buying is a better option in Bangalore as you are sure that your property value will appreciate and more over a good investment. Using the market calculator with rents going up in a crazy manner you are not at a loss if you buy a property in Bangalore.
There are several other ways in which it is definitely a good idea to buy a home in Bangalore instead of renting one, such as:
It is a core end user market.
It has excellent climate and is a cosmopolitan city.
The city has a commercial and social infrastructure which establishes it as a 'WORLD CITY' with ample entertainment, hospitality and retail options
Owning a property gives you a very different feeling; you can do what you want with your home and are not answerable to anyone. Bangalore is the right place to invest in, renting has become difficult for various reasons, it seems that buying is much safer and a better option in Bangalore as you will stand out a winner at the end.

22 ASB Middle School Handbook
the school will seek a clear understanding of health concerns through school-home
communication. After the eighth absence in a trimester, a meeting will be convened with
the student, parent or guardian and the principal or counselor to assure on-going support
for the students health concerns.
2. Illness. Because the well-being of students is our highest priority, an ill student should not
be sent to school later in the day because they are feeling better. If a student is too ill to
attend their first period class, they should remain at home the entire day.
3. Getting Missed Work. The online grade book, Haiku, is the most reliable source for
families to keep up with assignments in Middle School classes. In addition, students should
also email their teachers to ensure that they get the most up-to-date information. Students
may also phone a peer to get any important notes and assignments from classes missed.
Parents may email teachers directly.
4. Late Arrival. Students who arrive late to school should check in at the Middle School Office
and get a pass to enable us to record their attendance.
5. Early Departure. Students who must depart early from school for personal reasons must
have permission from a parent or guardian and must receive a pass from the MS Office to
exit the premises. Students who depart early due to health concerns must see our school
nurse, and parents and the MS Office must be notified prior to departure. A pass to exit the
premises can be received from the MS Office.
6. Planned/Extended Absence for Family Reasons. We discourage students from taking
leave from school during the academic period. Learning opportunities in the classroom
are often difficult or impossible to make up due to the collaborative and/or performance
nature of the work students are involved in to demonstrate their learning. Students are
encouraged to make use of the holiday periods to take part in other activities outside of
school. We do understand that in an international community a family may decide that
a particularly important occasion takes precedence over attendance at school. In these
events, teachers will do their best to keep students informed of the work that is going on
in class so that the child may complete it independently. If students plan to be away, they
must inform the MS Office in advance and contact their teachers for their assignments,
if the absence is for a day or two. Absences longer than two days require the students to
have their teachers fill out a planned "Absence Form" at least two days before the intended
absence. The forms are available at the Middle School Office and are issued upon receipt
of a note from a parent/guardian. It is at the teacher's discretion to provide homework in
advance. However, students are responsible for completing all work they have missed.
7. Planned/Extended Absence for School Reasons. If a child is absent on a school trip
such as for ASIAC or MATHCOUNTS, they are encouraged to plan ahead so that they are
able to keep up with their homework. A child will have an additional day to complete the
homework for each day they are absent. A child on academic probation may not be eligible
to attend a school trip.

News Briefs
June 7, 2017
Single lane
A small portion of Pioneer Dr has been reduced to one lane while workers reconstruct Clark Street, which runs between West Klutina and Pioneer Drive.
"Construction, which includes road, sidewalk, curb, and storm drain work, will begin the first week of June and is expected to run until mid-August," the City of Valdez said in a public notice posted to its website. "During this time, the road will be closed to thru traffic.
For additional information on the Clark Street construction project, please contact: Laura Langdon, City Project Manager."
Little libraries
Valdez has joined a growing nation-wide movement: Little Free Libraries.
Three Little Free Libraries have been installed at three separate locations along the Valdez Small Boat Harbor on North Harbor Dr.
"This was the brain child of Mollie Good, head librarian of the Valdez Consortium Library," said Darryl Verfaillie, head of the city's Park and Recreation, and Cultural Services.
The small boxes containing books are mounted in shelters along the sidewalk.
"The little libraries will be stocked with books all summer long and are intended to allow harbor patrons the opportunity to borrow books and/or leave books for others to enjoy," Verfaillie said.
Rain in Valdez
Valdez received less than an inch of rain last week according to Eric Cooper of the Valdez Avalanche Center.
Cooper reports that .9 inches of rain fell in Valdez between May 29 and June 4. That brings the total precipitation to 19.51 inches since January 1.
The week before, Valdez experienced a dreary 2.06 inches of rain.
Dutch Harbor Day
Governor Bill Walker ordered Alaska flags be flown at half-staff last Saturday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Dutch Harbor by Japan during World War II.
Dutch Harbor Remembrance Day is recognized every year on the anniversary of the attack, and honors the military personnel who served and died defending our country, and the Aleut people who died while imprisoned and relocated as a result of the war.
"During World War II, my father served on the Aleutian Islands with Castner's Cutthroats in the Alaska Scouts; I heard many stories about the brave soldiers who served beside him," Walker said in a prepared statement.
Walker signed an executive proclamation recognizing the 75th anniversary of the attack, and declared June 3 as Dutch Harbor Remembrance Day in Alaska.
Aleutian shaker
(AP) A magnitude 6.9 earthquake rumbled north of Alaska's Aleutian Islands Friday but did not cause a tsunami or damage structures.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake occurred at 2:24 p.m. about 127 miles (204 kilometers) northwest of Attu (at-TOO) Island near the far west end of the Aleutians.
The Alaska Earthquake Center says the moderate earthquake was at a depth of about 16 miles (26 kilometers)
Residents of Shemya (SHEM-ya) Island about 147 miles southeast of the earthquake felt the ground move.
Attu is nearly 1,500 miles (2,414 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
Paris and Alaska
(AP) An Alaska Republican moderate in the U.S. Senate says the country has an obligation to help address climate change, whether it is part of the international Paris climate agreement or not.
U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski made her comments to reporters in Juneau on Thursday, shortly after President Donald Trump announced that he was withdrawing the U.S. from the climate accord.
In light of Trump's decision, Murkowski says she hopes the U.S. does not fall back in its efforts to address and mitigate the impacts being felt as a result of a warming climate.
Murkowski also advocated for a thoughtful approach in rewriting the federal health care law rather than trying to pass something simply so Congress can move on to other things.

2000 – 2019: Ongoing investigation into Aerojet Chino Hills facility began when Collins found a contaminated 800-acre complex that operated for nearly 40 years. Unexploded bombs, depleted uranium, heavy metals and chemicals polluted the property. Cleanup activities began in earnest after exposé, costing $46 million so far.
2002 – 2019: Collins broke story that radiological and chemical pollutants may have migrated from neighboring Rocketdyne onto ranch. Reporting stopped development which led to the creation of a 2,900-acre expanse of public park land in 2003. In 2013 and 2015, more radiation and chemical contamination were found at the ranch linked to Rocketdyne.
2008 – 2019: Corporate Pointe site once occupied by Hughes Missile Group, Rocketdyne, Atomics International and Raytheon Missile Systems. Heavy metal, chemical and radiological contamination. In August 2009, L.A. okays development of property without Environmental Impact Report and eases environmental standards through rezoning.
2011 – 2019: Over 8,383 radiation tests from over a dozen states and Australia from March 11, 2011 to March 11, 2016 and counting. Posts, graphs, live streaming radiation monitoring, EPA RadNet monitoring, Radiation Food Lab and video. Investigation uncovers mechanisms and routes of Fukushima fallout worldwide.
1998 – 2019: Ongoing investigation of the Santa Susana Field Lab between the Simi and San Fernando valleys, site of a partial nuclear meltdown in 1959 and massive chemical contamination from thousands of rocket tests. Exposed government and polluter collusion undermining agreements using "greenwashing" techniques on the media and public as well as use of an "astroturf" group of collaborators against Rocketdyne cleanup.
2004 – 2019: Like Ahmanson Ranch, Runkle Canyon abuts Rocketdyne. And also like the ranch, this property slated for residential development with 461 homes, seems to be polluted by Rocketdyne's contaminants. More radiation contamination found in 2013 linked to the Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
2006 – 2019: Investigation prompts $2 million toxins testing promised in 2007 at same time Bush Administration abandoned $4 billion plans for VA development, admitting dump revelations helped derail scheme. Tests confirm dump and show expanded contamination at the VA.
1996 – 2019: Nuke plant vulnerabilities, illegal dumping, nuclear infrastructure threats, fireworks pollution, offbeat adventures and more.
March 11, 2011 through June 2, 2017 and counting: EnviroReporter.com has produced more than 9,249 special tests and original reports including 3,045 measurements and analyses from nine affiliated Radiation Stations and 6,204 samples and radiation experiments from Radiation Station Santa Monica California.

Don Jr. to Sean Hannity tonight: "Someone sends me an email. I can't help what somebody sends me."— igorvolsky (@igorvolsky) July 11, 2017
Amazing. pic.twitter.com/NCTuCW8PaZ
"Someone sent me an email. I can't help what someone sends me."
Even if it were reasonable for Don Jr. to claim that an interlocutor for the Russian government just spontaneously sent him an email suggesting collusion without even the merest semblance of an idea that it would be well-received, and it isn't, the fact is that he responded to said email by exclaiming in return, "I love it... Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back?"
I suppose we're meant to believe he "can't help" how he replies to emails someone sends him, either.

In related news...
Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman at the New York Times: Rancor at White House as Russia Story Refuses to Let the Page Turn.
As Air Force One jetted back from Europe on Saturday, a small cadre of Mr. Trump's advisers huddled in a cabin helping to craft a statement for the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., to give to The New York Times explaining why he met last summer with a lawyer connected to the Russian government. Participants on the plane and back in the United States debated how transparent to be in the statement, according to people familiar with the discussions.Emphasis mine. To be clear: The White House crafted a statement for Don Jr., the president read and approved that statement, and then Don Jr. issued that statement, which turned out to be mendacious garbage, to the New York Times.
Ultimately, the people said, the president signed off on a statement from Donald Trump Jr. for The Times that was so incomplete that it required day after day of follow-up statements, each more revealing than the last. It culminated on Tuesday with a release of emails making clear that Mr. Trump's son believed the Russian lawyer was seeking to meet with him to provide incriminating information about Hillary Clinton as "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump."
The scope of the cover-up of what the White House clearly understands to be something worth covering up is so obvious that even Bill Kristol can understand what's happening.
WHOA. Don Jr.'s false statement Sat. was drafted by WH aides & seen by Trump. This wasn't Jr being dopey. This was an attempted WH cover-up.— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) July 12, 2017
Trump has long been raging around the West Wing because the allegations of collusion with Russia just won't go away (since they're accurate), and now it's getting even worse — and even closer to home (literally).
So now he's getting to read cool headlines like "'Category 5 hurricane': White House under siege by Trump Jr.'s Russia revelations" at the Washington Post and "White House aides feeling 'helpless' as Trump Jr. scandal explodes" at Politico.
And note that those headlines are doing their damnedest to make it seem like the Russia stuff is just "happening to" Trump, like an act of god, as opposed to being a shit maelstrom of his own making.
The "fake news" is still being pretty fair to him, all things considered.
Not that he deserves it. Not that that's ever stopped them.
Naturally, the investigation just continues to broaden with every new revelation. At Yahoo News, Michael Isikoff reports that new details have emerged on the Moscow real estate deal that led to the Trump-Kremlin alliance, while at McClatchy, Peter Stone and Greg Gordon report: "Investigators at the House and Senate Intelligence committees and the Justice Department are examining whether the Trump campaign's digital operation — overseen by Jared Kushner — helped guide Russia's sophisticated voter targeting and fake news attacks on Hillary Clinton in 2016."
Everything's coming up Russia for Trump, who is reduced to whining (again) that the entire thing is a witch hunt in defense of his corrupt son.
My son Donald did a good job last night. He was open, transparent and innocent. This is the greatest Witch Hunt in political history. Sad!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2017
There are millions of people who believe him. They, like the president and his son — and virtually everyone around them — are dangerously wrong. And that continues to be bad news for the rest of us.

October 2017 Seminar – Right Turn. Over
- Speaker: Igor Yelnik | ADG Capital Management
- Date: 10th October 2017 – 18:30
Place: BAML, The Haberdashers' Hall
- Topic: Right Turn. Over – by Igor Yelnik

- Summary:
How much risk does an investment portfolio turn over in a given period of time? In other words, how aggressively does it trade in terms of changing exposure to underlying risks? Rather surprisingly, the investment community still lacks a consistent definition that measures this important portfolio property. The conventional measure of portfolio turnover, which quantifies trading intensity in nominal terms, does not serve this purpose well enough. We will discuss an alternative measure, which, loosely speaking, represents the overall risk traded per unit time.

Mazda is pushing upscale with the launch of the seven-passenger CX-9, a new crossover vehicle scheduled to reach showrooms next month.
Last year, Mazda's sales in
The CX-9 uses some of the same components as the Mazda6 and the new Ford Edge but has its own unique look and feel, said Robert Davis, vice president of product development and quality at Mazda North America.
The CX-9 was designed with three rows of seating to separate it from the slightly smaller CX-7, which has only two rows of seats and was introduced last spring amid a chorus of generally favorable commentary. Mazda's new crossover is powered by a 3.5-liter, 263-horsepower V-6 and is the largest vehicle ever developed by Mazda.
Hiroshi Takeshita, one of the senior engineering executives responsible for the vehicle's development, says the CX-9 is one of the few vehicles the company has developed specifically for the North American market. The new three-row crossover also will be one of the most expensive vehicles ever sold by Mazda in the
Chris Hill, the CX-9 vehicle line manager, said the crossover basically completes the Mazda lineup in the
Advertising for the CX-9 will begin next month just as the vehicles begin arriving in Mazda showrooms from
