Let's forget about Kyrie Irving going to San Antonio trade rumors for a minute and spend some time talking about the fact that 25-year old Kyrie Irving looks pretty funny after shaving his beard. It doesn't look bad, but since he's had a mustache and goatee since we first first filmed him eight years ago in high school, it looks kind of odd. Odd like this pic of him with LeBron James back in 2009 when he attended LeBron's camp.
Irving, who is getting ready to reprise his role as everyone's favorite Uncle in the big screen version of Uncle Drew, knows it looks funny too and that's why he posted a video saying he expects to be roasted and wants you to "get it all out now" because if this was anybody else, he would be "firing jokes at them."
As we wait for the best jokes about "fresh face shorty," here's Kobe Bryant with the best roast of Kyrie Irving you will ever see.

Bus shelter, Adhesive foil printing, photo motives by Shutterstock, turf, basalt, colour, pillows, deck chairs
St.Open #4, co-work with Julia Weißenberg
View on installation "Kleine Alhambra" in the "Grüngürtel" park, Cologne
The 4th bus shelter of the St. Open project is situated in the middle of the so called "Kleine Alhambra" – small Alhambra, which is a part of the green belt of Cologne in the city district "Nippes". The "Kleine Alhambra" was designed by Fritz Schumacher as part of the urban planning of the green belt, commissioned by Konrad Adenauer in 1922. At that time, the city planned to provide places of nature and retreat, as well as sites of mental and physical education for the citizens. New values and social reformations at the beginning of the 20th century pushed the idea of this ambitious, democratic project, whose realisation added to the cultural development of the modern urban life.
Today, the existence of this park is threatened: the park area "Kleine Alhambra", has climate and ecological functions within the inner city area, is disregarded and neglected by the city administration; while the adjacent garden allotments are planned to be replaced by housing construction. The initiative "Die Grüne Lunge" – the green lung – are fighting against these structural developments. Unfortunately, due to the lack of maintenance, the Cologne's "Kleine Alhambra" has few similarities with its Andalusian namesake.
The original Alhambra is one of the most beautiful examples of Islamic art and symbolises the so called heyday of Islamic culture. During the first period of Al-Andalus (711 - 1492) which was under the reign of the Moors, the reappearing topic was of a peaceful coexistence of three monotheistic religions. In addition, there is no doubt that the achievements during the Islamic acme regarding science, philosophy and art had a big influence on our Christian world. In recent years, Islam is now somehow mentioned more in context of terror attacks and the refugee crisis.
This art work wants to focus on the wealth of intellectual variety manifested in the Alhambra. Today, the Alhambra is one of the most frequented European tourist attractions and a world heritage site since 1984.
The Kleine Alhambra park, in reference to the Andalusian Alhambra, was an immediate part of the bus shelter functioning as a site of encounter, information and imagination. The neglected grounds were transformed into a respectable and welcoming place: the foot path around the non-operating fountain was almost invisible due to overgrown weeds; it was cleaned and filled with basalt stones; turf was integrated into the existing grass around the garden; and for the opening event coloured pillows were placed around the fountain. The bus shelter having direct view on the garden, served as a bright pavilion; pictures of the Spanish namesake showing an outside view of the Alhambra covered the outer wall of the shelter. The inside of the shelter showed the lion square with its stalactites connecting the bus shelter with the surrounding park. Deck chairs beside the shelter offered rest and the possibility to linger. Thus through the work, the "Kleine Alhambra" was both reactivated and paid tribute to it..

By Jacob Bourne
Representatives of the San Francisco Labor Council joined thousands of other demonstrators who marched from the Embarcadero Plaza to City Hall for the Labor will Rise, Climate Jobs & Justice event on September 8. The march was aimed at getting politicians to take bolder action regarding rising global temperatures and climate change.
The rear of the march was guarded by a Fire Engine driven by Local 786 San Francisco Fire Fighters to honor first responders who've been protecting local communities from destructive wildfires. Speaking at a press conference before the event, SFLC Executive Director Rudy Gonzalez emphasized the urgent need for immediate action on climate change.
"Fire fighters and electricians are on the front lines of battling wildfires and our members are also on the front lines of rebuilding communities after natural disasters," Gonzalez said. "Working people have a strong voice on climate issues because it impacts working conditions, and they're united in saying that we need to do more. We need to find ways to transition to 'green power' and maintain union standards to meet the needs of the local community."
Gonzalez noted that the labor community has eagerly become involved in climate change issues in San Francisco because of the many natural disasters caused by warming temperatures in California. He cited the need for a citywide Project Labor Agreement to be passed in San Francisco to ensure a broad base of better labor policies for the future.
Labor had a strong presence at the march with many members carrying banners for their respective Locals. Ann Worth and Curt Gray, two members of Local 510 Sign & Display, came out to hold the banner for their Local's contingent.
"My union endorsed this, so I came out to hold the banner and walk the march," said Gray. "I showed up to represent my union and labor on this very important issue."
"As a worker, addressing climate change is about survival," added Worth.

Ok, so not everyone wants to go Amazon sourcing at the discount stores. That's one of the reasons I started the BoloMart group. I do most of the leg work, and you profit. Even that is too much for some people who like to work after store hours, or just don't want to leave the house.
Luckily, great Amazon sourcing is still possible from home through sites like CamelCamelCamel. The problem is that its not very easy to figure out what products will sell on Amazon and how quickly. You can take a real gamble using a site like that unless you have the tools you need to get it done profitably. Even when you check the sales rank and price of an item you want to sell through Amazon, the information you get is temporary. That's because the sales ranks and prices are fluid (they are constantly changing.) That's why I'm excited to share the How to Keepa Camel course with you.
Inside, you'll get videos and a printable guide that show you exactly how to use CamelCamelCamel, AND combine it with the profitable information you get with Keepa. The course instructor, Stephen Smotherman has been selling online since 1998. He came up with the strategy in "How to Keepa Camel" after being frustrated with the number of products that didn't sell the way he intended them to sell. Although he was making a profit, he wasn't satisfied with the results he was getting.
After implementing this strategy, Stephen's business consistently made him more money. Now he profits more with less inventory! He has broken it all down so that even a beginner can understand how to use these free resources AND profit from them. It is a great value when you pay the full price of $99 but if you act now, you can save even more.
[tweetthis twitter_handles="@theeleanorprior" url="https://eleanorprior.com/how-to-keepa-camel" display_mode="box"]#FBASellers learn how to use Camel Camel Camel and Keepa with "The How to Keepa Camel" course[/tweetthis]
He's even included some bonuses which will show you how to use these resources from your smart phone, what to do when the resources are unavailable (on occasion for website maintenance. Other bonuses include real life scenarios that help you make the best Amazon sourcing decisions, and more.
This is a great course for anyone trying to source items for Amazon from home as a separate adventure, or as a supplement to the local discount stores. You should pick it up today!

Oral steroids and intraoperative bleeding during endoscopic sinus surgery. Objectives : Our main objective was to investigate the effect of preoperative oral steroids on intraoperative bleeding and quality of the surgical field during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Our second objective was to determine whether the osteitis score could be used to predict the volume of intraoperative bleeding. Methodology: This doubleblinded, randomized trial included 65 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. The corticosteroid group received oral prednisolone (1 mg/kg), administered to patients once daily for 2 days and then tapered down, with treatment completed on the day 10. The control group received placebo before the operation. Endoscopic exams were recorded, and preoperative sinus computed tomography scans were scored. Intraoperative blood loss was recorded. Quality of the surgical field was assessed by the surgeon, using a linear scale from 1 to 10. Results: The mean bleeding volume was 239 ml in the corticosteroid group and 203 ml in control group. There was no significant difference between the groups (p=0.495). Surgical field quality scores were higher in the corticosteroid group thaninthecontrolgroup,butthedifferencewasnotsignificant(p=0.36).Therewasnostatisticallysignificantrelationship between the bleeding volume and Kennedy Osteitis Scores in corticosteroid group (r=0.225, p=0.186) and control group (r=0.084, p=0.663). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that using oral corticosteroids, which have rare but serious side effects, is not necessary in the preoperative period. Furthermore, we found that the radiological osteitis score was not a suitable marker for predicting intraoperative bleeding volumes.

The Giants' 2013 season ended just at the right time. If they did have a game next week, they probably would not have enough bodies to field a viable lineup.
They out-gutted the sorry Redskins (4-12) in the soaking, teaming, unrelenting rain at MetLife today by the score of 20-6. And they did it with only three of their opening day offensive starters on the field for most of the game.

What the Selective Service System
says about itself and its plans for
An article from THE REGISTER, November/December 2003
Process Improvement Project
Reorganizes Agency
THE REGISTER, November/December 2003
The Register is an unoffi cial publication of the Selective
Service System, National Headquarters, Arlington, Va.,
22209. Viewpoints herein do not represent offi cial policy.
Editor: Alyce Teel Burton, Layout/Design: Laurie Zaleski
and Neal Dallmer.
The Register welcomes any news of interest to the Selective
Service System employees. Send article submissions to
Editor, The Register, Selective Service System, National
Headquarters, Arlington, VA 22209-2425.
The Selective Service System (SSS) has been taking a long, hard look at itself. During most of calendar year 2003, Acting Director Lew Brodsky, has led scores of Agency personnel in a complex and far-reaching project of process review and
change management.
"It's absolutely necessary that we do this," Brodsky said. "The Administration and the Congress are placing strong emphasis on strategic planning, performance-based budgeting, and efficient delivery of government services. This is welcome guidance which spurs us to make significant improvements in the way we operate and how we are organized."
Current events and changes in Defense manpower requirements since the end of the Cold War are also driving the in-depth review, which is dubbed, "Process Improvement Project," or "PIP-2003." The role of the SSS in the 21st Century has yet to be adequately defined as the United States continues to depend on all volunteer forces (AVF). Lately, the continuing War on Terrorism, the aftermath of the war in Iraq, and extensive commitment of U.S. troops around the world, have stretched thin the Active and Reserve forces, causing some in the media, academia, and the Congress to call for consideration of a draft. Bills to compel
military and national service were introduced in the House and Senate last January, but the bills will probably not make it through congressional committees. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who as a congressman was personally involved in ending the draft in favor of the AVF 30 years ago, has said
repeatedly there is "not a chance" that America will need a draft.
In this uncertain climate, the SSS is working diligently to reexamine its statutory missions, reaffirming its relevancy, and making adjustments as necessary to meet the contemporary needs of the Nation. Several facts come to light. For example, while manpower officials believe it is unlikely that a conventional draft of untrained men will be needed in the foreseeable future, there exist critical shortages of individuals with special skills in today's AVF. SSS officials consulted with Defense planners to learn that medical personnel, computer specialists, and linguists are difficult to recruit and hard to retain. There are also fears that the lengthy and repetitive activations of Guard and Reserve members will boost Reserve Component attrition rates. So a principal objective of PIP-2003 is to shift the Agency's focus away from maintaining a high state of readiness to execute a large draft of untrained manpower and toward preparing for a much smaller draft of trained personnel possessing critical skills needed for military service in a national crisis. Examining all factors, the smaller, "special skills" draft is the conscription program more likely to be needed by today's Armed Forces. Of course, reinstatement of a draft of any kind or scope would require legislation from the Congress and direction from the President.
To accomplish the shift in focus, the Agency does not have to start from scratch. For the last 16 years, the SSS has continued its work on a congressionally-directed "structure" to allow for conscription of doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel. The result is called the "Health Care Personnel Delivery System," or "HCPDS," which is now nearly complete. It was patterned after the Agency's existing plan for a conventional draft of untrained men, but would differ in that it would require a mass registration of health care practitioners, ages 20 through 44, followed by selection of individuals for induction to fulfill the numbers and skill requirements the military would need. HCPDS could include women, if the Congress so authorized.
It is generally acknowledged that a "skill-specific" draft would be a smaller draft. Accordingly, through PIP-2003, the SSS is looking at ways to streamline its operations and make its processes more efficient, but will maintain an expansion capability to allow it, if it becomes necessary, to conduct a conventional draft.
To assist the Agency in accomplishing PIP-2003, a contract was awarded to Alpine Magic, Inc., a small firm that specializes in change management and has professional expertise in applying business process review techniques to government entities. The contractor conducted formal training for PIP-2003 participants, facilitated program review sessions, and documented outcomes.
Four core processes were identified as fundamental to accomplishment of the Agency's missions: register people, call and deliver registrants, reclassify draftees, and administer an alternative service program for conscientious objectors. Additionally, several support processes were also given PIP-2003 attention: maintain personnel (human resource management), manage logistics, manage funds, and provide information technology support. In each of these areas, baseline information was collected and analyzed with regard to time and resources consumed. Then, in a "Process Improvement" phase lasting several months, better ways of doing the activities that make up each process were proposed, discussed, and analyzed by a cross-section of Agency employees, including subject matter experts. Finally, a "to-be" phase of PIP-2003 compared
the current status of Agency programs, identified target goals for effecting change, and established action plans for implementation. Some "no brainer" improvements were implemented immediately; more complicated revisions will occur over time. Among the changes already put into effect were: moving the Records Management function under the Public Affairs umbrella; eliminating the reminder card mailing which uses Department of Defense address lists; scaling back Registration Improvement Program activities in states with supportive driver's license/SSS registration laws; absorption of the Financial Management Office under Resource Management, and transfer of the functions that would have been performed during a mobilization by the Agency's Civilian Review Boards to the District Appeal Boards.
Acting Director Brodsky is confident that PIP-2003 will have a positive and lasting influence on the Selective Service System. "Budget trends are forcing us to become ever more frugal, and PIP-2003 is providing us with the blueprint to become more effective and efficient while remaining ready for tomorrow's potential mobilization missions," Brodsky noted. "To be honest, not everybody in the Agency will be happy with the outcomes…change is not easy when we've grown accustomed to doing things in certain ways. But 'status quo' is not an option. We will consolidate many functions, reorganize along process lines at National Headquarters and in the field, move forward with the modernization of our information technology systems, deflate grade structure, eliminate management layers, and make many revisions in the way we organize and train our Board Members and Reserve Officers for their mobilization duties. The result will be a Selective Service System that is better by far."

Julia Angwin, on The Future of Redlining — a discussion of areas where redlining may be occurring and topics that she could investigate in her work as a journalist at ProPublica. What does redlining looks like in an era in which more personal data is available to more entities than ever before? Traditionally, redlining has been defined primarily as financial discrimination based on race. Now, in the era of big data, discrimination can take many more forms – from economic impact to government repression to denial of access to the marketplace of information – and can be targeted across many personal characteristics beyond race.

Traversing the Digital Landscape
When searching for Web Design Staffordshire in your search engine, it can seem as though it is full of web design companies that will deliver you a website. They all offer the same tool of the website but how you use it makes all the difference. But what does the right Web Design Company for your project look like?
You must consider the usability of the website; not just for your clients but for yourself. It is important that you can both utilise and update the information on your website freely. A website should be your 24/7 sales representative to promote who you are and what you do. It is your digital storefront and with 90% of adults in the UK being recent we users, it is too big of an opportunity to miss. A website that is built on Wordpress has the ability to look great and also be accessable with only a small amount of training and practice!
We believe that a truly great website should be built on the 3 foundations of Research, Implement and Monitor.
Researching with you Web Design Company
This should always be your first step when building a website or blog post. Without research, how would you know where your potential clients are looking? It is always important to remember that your potential client does not yet know who you are. All they know is that they have a need for an outside agency or business to help solve their problem.
We always recommend to our clients spending at least 30 minutes researching. Just take one day sitting down with a cup of coffee (or tea) and imagine that you are your client. What would they be searching for? If they needed flowers for a wedding, a sensible answer would be that they would be searching for "Wedding Florist" on their search engine like Google. Once you have found a keyphrase that you believe your clients would be searching for, look at the bottom of your Google search. Here are a few related searches that your client may be looking at. By doing this it will give you a hint of what else they may be searching for.
Content Creation Help in Stoke-on-Trent
We understand that finding the time to do this can be hard, but research is essential to ensure your website is working as hard as it can be in your favour. If you do struggle to find the time for this task, there are individuals who are specialist. They can help in finding the right spot on the web for you.
When clients in the past have struggled to find this time, we have pointed them to two specialists. We have, and continue to suggest, Giles Metcalfe and Andrew Holland as we believe in their service. They can help provide you with an in-depth understanding of where you should be sitting on search engines. This will help get the most amount of relevant traffic to your website.
Implementing your Web Design
Once you've decided where your website should be sitting on search engines, it's time to make it come to life. We build all our websites on a Wordpress core. It is a great platform for blogging (we'll revisit this) and allows you access to the website.
We'll organise a meeting with you at our office just 10 miles from Stoke-on-Trent to talk about what you want back from your website. This will include what look and feel you are aiming for. Whether it is an online shop with a Victoriana styling or a way to advertise your services in a minimalistic way, our lead designer will have something that is just right for you. At this point, we encourage feedback on the initial design so that we can ensure that we nail the design just the way you want it.
Once you have signed off the sample page, as if by Wordpress magic, your site is ready to go! Well, a little more work goes into it than magic. We build templates ready to be used by you on pages and posts that you build after the page has gone live. We'll make sure that everything technical in the background is ticking and keeping your website up and running. This includes testing that the website responds well to all platforms and difference browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
Just Keep Blogging!
Blog, blog and blog some more! It's key to making sure that your website is performing at it's best. Without blogging, there becomes little fresh content on your website and this could hinder where you are showing up in search results. Even though you get a bundle of training whenever you receive a website from us, we understand that finding the time to blog and ensure that it is optimised can be time consuming. At The Capture Factory, we offer a hosting package that allows you to take advantage of our in-house SEO knowledge. We will post the blogs on your behalf alongside optimising them to ensure they are hitting where you want to appear on search engines. All you need to send us is the content!
Our latest example of one of our client's great blogs is Jon Cruttenden's. After putting in time each week to his blog, Jon is now seeing the results of his weeks of work! Click the button below to see his page.
Monitoring your results within Staffordshire
Your first blog has gone live but it is not the time to stop. We explain our websites as a machine; if you keep feeding in content at one end, the website will keep ticking and delivering the products at the other. How do you know that your blog hitting the right spot for you? Well, you need to monitor it. Monitoring your keyphrase means that you can see where your blog is ranking on Google.
The most important thing to understand about the monitoring process is that whatever results you get from your analytics, always use the information to progress your website. If you are seeing a return on investment through a certain keyword, it is a great idea to keep pushing it higher on Google's listings with relevant blogs.
The Wordpress Way for Web Design Staffordshire
Wordpress websites are a great option for those who are prepared to put a little care and attention. When used correctly, putting just a few hours a week into blogging and keeping your website up to date can give you great results. From building brand reputation to an increase in sales, it's well within reach. We believe in giving you the tools to build a stand out web presence alongside guidance on how to use them.
What makes The Capture Factory a stand out Web Design Company is that you have control. You want to build a new page? You have the knowledge to. Need to update a phone number or address? You have the knowledge to. Do you need to update the images on your homepage? You have the knowledge to. Your website, with practice, will become an integral part of marketing your business.

This is a popular phrase that Estate Agents up and down the country hear along with,
'it needs freshening up but there's no point if we're selling'
'the wallpaper is dated but the new buyer will want to redecorate anyway'
Sound familiar?
Now, did you know that these excuses are the easiest way to ensure your house stick on the market longer?
Think about your buyer, what buyer wouldn't want the house that is ready to move into? Your buyer may be too busy, work too long hours, stretching their budgets to buy, have young children, may be downsizing for ease.
ALL of these buyers don't want to worry about redecorating immediately.
The housing market is flooded with houses for sale, so make your buyer's decision easy and freshen up your paintwork and remove your dated wallpaper. It's an easy fix and an easy reason for someone to say YES!
Here's one fantastic seller that was on the market for 5 months. After implementing our suggestions they ACCEPTED an offer in just 2 weeks! Can you see the difference?
We have had some fantastic results from little changes just like this one and you can too.
You are about to start a new chapter in your life, and this small change and a little elbow grease will work wonders to make sure your new chapter is closer than you think.

PAOLI -- "S ... L ... E ... E ... P," he sounded out slowly.
"Do you know what you just spelled?" asked Kerry Henry, 26, his teacher at the Royer-Greaves School for the Blind in Paoli.
"Sleep," Elijah, 7, answered with confidence.
For Elijah, learning to read Braille has been made more enjoyable, thanks to a volunteer, a Broadway actress, and a Chester County animal rescue service.
Together, they created Braille Tails, a group that has worked to publish Braille versions of off-the-shelf children's books about animals -- Elijah's favorite subject -- and give them to schools for the blind.
"The joy of reading is one of the greatest pleasures of life," said the actress Bernadette Peters, who is also a children's author, animal advocate, and Braille Tails co-founder.
In 2012, Peters -- who with the actress Mary Tyler Moore heads Broadway Barks, a 17-year-old animal-adoption event in New York City -- met Charlene Sloan of Leesburg, Va. Sloan volunteered to write a story for the Broadway Barks website. Peters suggested a piece about the visits to Royer-Greaves by members of Main Line Animal Rescue.
"Bernadette is always looking to highlight stories about rescue animals," said Sloan, a co-founder, with Peters and Bill Smith, of the rescue group.
While at the school, Sloan thought it would be a nice idea to donate Peters' books as a thank-you gift. But she discovered that Broadway Barks and Stella Is a Star were not in Braille, and went about finding out how to translate them.
Smith offered to pay the cost -- about $150 per book, she said. The project grew from there.
Braille Tails has translated 23 titles and delivered 2,165 books to about 85 schools and lending libraries across the country.
Nationally, organizations that offer Braille books include Libraries for the Blind and American Action Fund for Blind Children and Adults, said Natalie L. Shaheen, director of education for the National Federation of the Blind. Her organization has its own Braille Reading Pals Club, which offers a free book a year for children up to 8 years old.
But having another group provide books to schools is incredibly valuable, she said.
"There is more demand than there is supply" of books," Shaheen said.
She said that about 90 percent of blind children cannot read Braille, the raised-character reading system invented by Louis Braille, who was blinded in a childhood accident.
One reason is the conception in the educational community that developments in technology can replace Braille, Shaheen added.
"Books are a great way for the kids to have Braille in their world," she said.
Judy Schachner, author and illustrator of the best-selling Skippyjon Jones series, has donated some of her books.
"So many unsighted children don't have access to picture books because many are not translated," said Schachner, of Swarthmore.
Braille Tails is operated out of Sloan's basement -- "We don't even have office space," she said.
Braille Tails contracts with an Oregon company and print shops at two prisons in Wisconsin and Nebraska, where minimum-security inmates do the labor.
The organization hopes to expand its list as it gets donations to cover the cost of translation.
Henry said it is "like Christmas" when a new book translated by Braille Tails arrives at the school. The new influx of age appropriate material gives the students more motivation to learn and not just memorize text.
"It is really life-changing," said Henry. "They want to tell me about what they have read."

View Award - Honor of Excellence
Bestowed on an individual who displayed fine achievement in writing and character development as well as continuously distinguishes him or herself as an outstanding role player.
Category: Out of character
Awarded: 9 times
04 Jan 2020 @ 2:57pm
|Joey has been around a while, but she's not become stagnant. She's grown, moved to her own department, fallen in love, and gotten married. And to top it all off, she had twins in the midst of a hostile takeover of the ship. I don't imagine that writing pregnant Joey has been an easy task, but she's pulled it off beautifully. And then to be writing her during the delivery of premature twins...wow. I can't wait to see how the addition of children to the Geisler family affects Joey's decisions in the future. That's some character development.
Jerrod York
01 Oct 2017 @ 8:18pm
|I nominate Jerrod. In Flight Simulation, Terry demonstrated to Kelly what it meant to be a fighter pilot and encouraged her through both words and actions in a role of mentor when he took her under his wing. He was patient, kind, taught from multiple angles and treated her as an equal despite their rank. He has came a long way since I've known him in character development for Terry and in his writing and I look forward to seeing more of what he's capable of.
28 Jan 2017 @ 10:53pm
|As a character, Temerant has developed despite several critical setbacks ranging from being controlled by the Consortium to being a prisoner of the Confederation. Despite everything, he has endured the suspicion of the crew, changed the mind of the Chief of Security even after a phaser fight and found love. If there is any other character more deserving of the Honor of Excellence, then may the best being win.
28 Jan 2017 @ 10:52pm
|I would have to say that out of many excellent players, this one stands out as someone always willing to jump in and be a part of things, going out of their way to make not only an impact, but a positive one.
28 Jan 2017 @ 10:52pm
|I'd like to nominate Harvey Geisler for the Honor of Excellence Award. The award description states that this is an "individual who displayed fine achievement in writing and character development." Harvey has done so repeatedly in this mission as we have seen his versatility by him playing the part of a civilian merchant on the AU's Razmena, confronting two Confederation ships with a ship that was still partially damaged, and reuniting with the Cochrane. This mission-oriented Harvey has also started to find the balance of having a personal life as evidenced by A Meal to Remember where he sat down and enjoyed a meal with fellow crew members and the characters continuing development of a relationship. He has also shown that, in reference to the work relationship with his Yeoman, the IC mission takes its toll on the character as he exhibits tiredness and frustration. Most certainly evidence of a three-dimensional character. And the fact that the CO needs to be nominated and recognized once in a while.
16 Feb 2016 @ 9:03pm
|Lieutenant Bast is one of the best writers on the Black Hawk. His quality of writing on this mission was amazing, in particular his posts that described the silence between symbiont and host. That is the kind of writing that makes simming amazing.

|For being a good bad guy
16 Feb 2016 @ 9:03pm
|The Player distinguished himself in the mission Rude Awakening by portraying a Trill whose host/symbiont connection had been broken by a poison. What impressed me was the posts from the perspective of the disconnected Bast symbiont and then as the connection was slowly remade. It was creative and something I had never seen before.

Back in the Crosshairs
Michigan motorists are all too familiar with the very frightening and very real idea that someone is randomly shooting at them along the freeway. It has happened before and now the Michigan State Police and several other agencies believe it's happening again.
According to several law enforcement agencies, including the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department there have been at least 5 shooting incidents along Michigan Interstates I-94 and I-69 since late July.
None of the victims have been injured and there does not seem to be any relationship between the drivers or pattern so far. Calhoun County Sheriff Matt Saxton says, "The drivers of the vehicles have nothing in common, the direction they're traveling, damage to the vehicle is different… theres no pattern."
This is not the first time Michigan motorists have been terrorized by a random highway shooter. In the fall of 2012, Raulie Casteel of Wixom was taking shots at people driving along I-96 between Detroit and Lansing. One driver was hit in the rear end by Casteel's bullet. Fortunately no one was killed.
Casteel was convicted of his shooting spree and sent to prison in January of 2014. He could end up behind bars for the rest of his life.

Top Jewish American Leader Gives Thumbs Up to David Friedman as Israel Envoy
'Given his background, his family lineage, his love for this country, and his general intellect – he has all the makings,' Conference of Presidents leader Stephen Greenberg says.
A top Jewish American leader expressed support on Sunday for the appointment of David Friedman as the next U.S. ambassador to Israel, but stopped short of an outright endorsement.
Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Stephen Greenberg, the chairman of the the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, said he was impressed by the performance of U.S. President Donald Trump's pick for Israel ambassador during last Thursday's confirmation hearings in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"I thought he handled himself very well, but I am not allowed to say if we are for or against him," said Greenberg, who noted that the Conference of Presidents, an umbrella organization that comprises 52 Jewish groups, was the first group Friedman met with after his nomination was announced by President Donald Trump.
"He is very well thought of as a creditor-debtor lawyer," said Greenberg. "He has the confidence of the president. Certainly he is knowledgeable, and he is articulate.
"I think he has made some statements that he has come back and modified, and I think that given his background, his family lineage, his love for this country, and his general intellect – he has all the makings."
On Friday, the Union for Reform Judaism took the unprecedented step of announcing its opposition to Friedman's appointment. URJ is a member of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, which is holding its annual gathering in Jerusalem this week.
Greenberg said he believed Friedman would be confirmed because the numbers were in his favor. All the Democrats in the Senate, along with three Republicans, would have to vote against him for the nomination to be blocked.
Malcolm Hoenlein, the CEO of the Conference of Presidents, reported at the joint press conference that he and other delegation members had convened Sunday morning with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi before arriving in Jerusalem. That followed meetings they held last week with political leaders in Morocco.
"The important message of both meetings is that this is a new era and that there are new opportunities in the Arab world," he said, noting that the Conference of Presidents has long been advocating for a broad-based Mediterranean initiative to solve regional conflicts.
"There is great interest in looking at ways to cooperate with Israel as a central hub in this kind of process," he said.
Asked how he viewed the option of a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts, based on Trump's recent proposal that it also be considered, Hoenlein said:
"I don't know what it will mean. We throw slogans around and we give titles to things without any understanding of what would be their consequences. I do agree with the president, however, that we need to start thinking out of the box."
Hoenlein expressed hope that Trump would deal more forcefully with rising anti-Semitism in the United States.
"I think the president should help set the tone for country," he said. "I'm hopeful that what he said about addressing hate and racism of all types will be translated into clear action."

Celebrex and Children
Celebrex® (celecoxib) is a nonprescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is also classified as a COX-2 inhibitor. This means that it works by targeting a specific enzyme in the body known to play a role in pain and inflammation.
Children can use Celebrex; however, it is only approved to treat juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This medication is not licensed to treat any other conditions in this age group. The dose prescribed will depend largely on the child's weight.
When giving Celebrex to a child, if he or she has difficulty swallowing the capsules, the capsules can be opened and the contents sprinkled on a spoonful of cool or room-temperature applesauce. This should be swallowed immediately and followed with water.
(Click What Is Celebrex Used For? to learn more about both approved and off-label uses for this medication, how it works, and giving it to children.)

The Canteen
Sporting clubs have a responsibility to ensure that food prepared or sold to members is fresh and handled and stored safely.
Club canteens can also contribute to good health practices by providing healthy food and drink choices. Whilst there are many practical reasons why a club canteen stocks and sells certain items, there are some small steps that clubs can take to increase healthy options, reduce less healthy choices, and to promote healthy eating.

She believes that the aunt is actually in the abandoned castle, together with the other lost souls who are looking for their way out, their way to redemption. That's why this girl has decided to get into the castle, no matter how scary it is, and try to find the solution, to find out how could she help her aunt, but also to help the other souls that are closed in the castle, also looking for their way out. Let's help Rebecca and the lost souls leave this castle and feel free once again.

Registration Policies
Please read carefully through the ICME 2015 registration policy before starting the ICME 2015 registration, as different registrations have different rules and benefits.
Anyone who wishes to attend any event of ICME 2015, including workshops, tutorials, main conference technical sessions, panel discussions, industry forums, demo sessions, industry forums, grand challenges, keynote and plenary sessions, and exhibitions must register to attend. There are three types of registrations available for the attendees: Conference registration, workshop-only registration and exhibitor registration.
- Each full conference registration includes: attendance for the 5 days + welcome reception + banquet + proceedings.
- Each non-full conference registration does not include the banquet.
- Each workshop-only registration includes: attendance to the two-day workshop sessions on Monday (June 29) and Friday (July 3) + welcome reception.
- Exhibitor registration: includes exhibition desk and all benefits of a full registration.
All registrations include one electronic copy of conference and workshop proceedings.
Author Registration Policy: Each accepted main conference paper must have at least one author registered according to the following policy at a non-student and non-life-member rate, no later than Apr. 15, 2015. Each accepted workshop paper, grand challenge paper, EU project paper, or industrial forum paper must have at least one author registered according to the following policy at a non-student and non-life-member rate, no later than May 15, 2015.
Each non-student and non-life-member full conference registration can cover up to 2 papers of any kind (i.e., main conference papers, workshop papers, grand challenge papers, EU project papers, or industrial forum papers) from the registered author. For example, one full conference registration can cover: 2 main conference papers; or 1 main conference paper and 1 industrial forum paper; or 1 grand challenge paper and 1 workshop paper; etc. Note that a demo paper that is associated with a regular paper will be considered to be already covered by the corresponding accepted paper.
If workshop paper authors (without a main conference paper) would like to attend the full conference, they must pay the full conference registration fee, which will cover up to 2 workshop papers.
One workshop-only registration can cover only 1 workshop paper.
Student registrations cannot cover any paper that will be published in IEEE Xplore. However, student registrations may be used to cover the presentation of other paper categories in accordance with the relevant calls, including one demo paper, one accepted ongoing work item, or one accepted poster presentation of a recent journal paper.
Author No Show Policy. One of the co-authors (or a qualified substitute) of an accepted paper/demo must report to the session chair before the respective session starts according to the published schedule, and present the paper/demo in person at the conference/workshops site. Any paper accepted into the technical program, but not presented on-site will be automatically withdrawn from the conference/workshops and the proceedings. IEEE further reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g. removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
If you have any questions regarding the registration policy, please contact email@example.com. For questions related to the payment of registrations, please contact email@example.com.

The State of New York's Workers Compensation Board has previously created a list of medical treatments and procedures that are allowed for the treatment and recovery of injured workers. Unfortunately the Third Department in Albany has one again undermined the entire purpose of NY workers compensation by upholding patently improper regulations as written by the Workers Compensation Board.
Injured workers have the right to receive medical benefits and care after work-related injuries. But the Board has created a monstrous bureaucracy that ultimately denies the exact medical benefits these injured workers rely on in order to recover and return to work.
Luckily for the injured workers across the state, a judge's dissenting opinion will now send the matter to the highest court in the state of New York, the Court of Appeals. This situation will be now be addressed in the hopes that the injustices and drastic limitations placed on injured workers will be righted in favor of those suffering from work-related medical issues and conditions and help those appealing their workers compensation claim denials.

For years, LGBT couples fought for the right to marry. Now they have the responsibility of protecting their future.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on marriage equality, MassMutual, Mullen Lowe and Mediahub collaborated with filmmaker Stacy Peralta to tell the stories of real-life LGBT couples sharing their hopes, fears and plans for protecting the love they fought so hard to have recognized.
Prior to June 26, 2015, the LGBT community had a more complex relationship with financial planning, with many couples forced to navigate hurdles on everything from legal protections to child custody to final wishes for their loved ones. The "Vow To Protect" campaign gives these LGBT couples the opportunity to discuss that journey, along with the impact of the decision, and their plans for their legally-married futures together.
With a long-standing history of supporting the LGBT community, "Vow To Protect" positions MassMutual as an industry expert that understands the challenges these couples have faced, and continue to face, while helping them protect the ones they love.

Official Release of TPP Text Confirms Massive Loss to Canadian Public Domain - Michael Geist
email@example.com 2015-11-06
"The New Zealand government posted the official Trans Pacific Partnership text today after years secret negotiations and occasional leaks of the text. It is an enormous deal with dozens of side letters between countries – Canada alone has eight side letters on intellectual property with seven TPP countries – that will require considerable study. From a copyright perspective, the TPP IP chapter leaked soon after the deal was concluded and the chapter looks largely consistent with that document. There is a notable change involving the Internet provider and host takedown rules, however. I earlier blogged that the chapter included a takedown provision not found in Canadian law that would have required blocking content based on being made aware of a court order finding infringement. I noted that the provision would have allowed decisions from other countries to effectively overrule Canadian law. The released text has been amended to limit the provision to domestic court rulings ensuring that only Canadian court rulings would apply. This is a positive change that better reflects current law. It does point to the danger of negotiating in secret, where potential concerns go unaddressed without the opportunity for expert review. Given the size of the deal, it seems likely that there will be many more instances of poorly drafted provisions that raise unintended consequences. Unchanged from the leaked text is the confirmation of the extension of the term of copyright to life of the author plus an additional 70 years. This marks a 20 year extension in the term of copyright, dealing a massive blow to access to Canadian heritage and resulting in hundreds of millions in cost. For example, there are 22 Governor-General award winning fiction and non-fiction authors whose work will not enter the public domain for decades. These include Margaret Laurence, Gabrielle Roy, Marian Engel, Marshall McLuhan, and Donald Creighton. The list of winners whose works were scheduled to enter the public domain over the next 20 years, but will now wait until at least 2037 (assuming a 2017 reform date) ..."
