Wow. Just, wow. If we were worried that this year's Game of Thrones season was going to follow suit of previous years and start off with a slow burn that led into some epic final episodes, well let's just say all those fears have now been put aside.
Because jaysus we had a hard time sleeping last night after another monumental cliffhanger.
It was the moment so many fans speculated on and knew was coming, but man was it ever good when it finally came: Jon Snow is alive. Or at least as alive as crazy fire, voodoo magic performed by a 400-year-old woman in disguise can be. And we need to know more ASAP. Because even though we now know Snow is in fact breathing again (with a few less locks of hair — good little tease there, producers!), we have no idea how any of this will affect him… or those around him.

How will The Onion Knight, a.k.a. mister Sir Davos respond when he sees the very thing he begged The Red Woman for actually came to fruition? Will Melisandre finally stop moping around Castle Black like a woman in mourning? How on earth will Tormund Giantsbane react to his buddy being brought back to life? Aren't the Wildings wary of such practices? And what about Ghost? Do we finally have a meta reason for the dire wolf's name, and will he continue showing affection towards his resurrected master?
Then there's Jon himself to consider. Being brought back from the dead means you're never the same. Just look at Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Or any other fictional story in which that's ever happened. We know there are dire consequences when such actions are taken, and we freaking need to see what happens next. How are there only eight episodes left in this season?
Either way we're taking this as a win for now. With so many other ugly things happening throughout the rest of the episode (we can't even begin to talk about what Ramsay did to his family and that poor baby), we needed a win, too. And Arya finally being taken back in by Jaqen H'gar just didn't cut it at the same level. Nor did a talking Hodor, the return of Bran or ALL of those other crazy deaths that kept the rest of the episode at such an intense level.
That's because, loyal Jon Snow fans, we were all right. A popular fan theory actually played out, and The Red Woman saved one of our most favourite characters after that heartbreaking death. He certainly was dead but now he's not, and we can't wait to see more Kit Harington this season. In all his stabbed-up glory or otherwise.
This year's worst kept secret has finally been revealed and it was great #GameofThrones

Feel free to come after him now, Ramsay. We have a feeling your dogs are about to get schooled by a dire wolf.
Game of Thrones airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Canada.

Northern Rivers Echo
Applications for funding through the 2016 Community Building Partnership program are now open.
The NSW Government is again committing funds to new infrastructure-based projects that meet a need in the local community.
These grants are open to local councils and incorporated not-for-profits such as charities, sporting, social and environmental groups that are looking to build or refurbish essential facilities for their community.
Grant applications must have a minimum value of $2,500 to be eligible for funding under the program.
If your organisation needs funding for the building, refurbishment or enhancement of facilities that deliver positive social, recreational, inclusive and environmental outcomes for the community, I encourage you to apply.
Applications close 5pm Friday 22 July 2016. For information on who can apply, what projects are eligible for funding and how to apply, please visit www.communitybuildingpartnership.nsw.gov.au.
Last week Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, NSW Minister for Roads and Freight Duncan Gay and I committed an additional $24 million to complete the upgrade of Mount Lindesay Road.
This funding will realign, construct and renew the final section of the 42 kilometre Mt Lindesay Road upgrade between Legume and Woodenbong.
This road is a vital link for the increasing number of local traffic, industry and tourists who use this road as the connector from South East QLD down to the Northern Rivers.
NSW citizens can renew their driver's licences at the click of a button, with the launch of online licence renewals through the Service NSW web and mobile sites.
Renewing your licence in person at a Service NSW store is already quick and easy – now hundreds of thousands of people will also have the option of renewing their licences at the click of a button, when and where it suits them.
Previously all NSW drivers' licences had to be renewed in person. Under the new service, eligible customers will be able to renew their licence online for up to 5 years using their existing photo, by logging on to the Service NSW web or mobile sites.
The new licence will be issued by post within 10 business days, with customers required to print an interim licence for use in the meantime.
An eligible driver renewing their licence online may only need to visit a Service NSW centre as often as once every 10 years to update their photo or sit an eye test.
To ensure security and safety on our roads, online renewal will not be available for some licences, for example if a medical assessment is required or if the licence is restricted. Fees will remain the same whether customers renew online or at a Service NSW centre.
For more information about online licence renewals, including eligibility criteria, visit www.service.nsw.gov.au or 13 77 88.

5 Different Ways to See Dolphins in Orange Beach
Mike Fisher
ORANGE BEACH, ALABAMA: They say it's the simple things in life that are best, and we here at TripShock could not agree more! When it comes to beach vacations, there are few more incredible activities than relaxing on a boat while the sun sets and seeing dolphins jump and frolic in the waves.
If this sounds like something that you would be into then stop what you're doing (unless you're reading this article) and get on down to the Alabama coast! Orange Beach is one destination in particular that offers some of the best dolphin cruises and experience you will find anywhere!
Check out a long list of incredible tours & things to do in Orange Beach and supercharge your next trip down to Southern Alabama with some super savings from TripShock!
5 Different Ways to See Dolphins in Orange Beach
Dolphin Cruise
Orange Beach dolphin cruises come in all shapes, speeds, and sizes! Cruise in luxury aboard one of several ocean vessels including classic charter rigs, super fast jet boats, or small and intimate sail boats! No matter which tour you choose, you will be delighted by the abundance of bottlenose dolphins swimming alongside you and your shipmates as you crash through the waves. If you are traveling with a large group or with small children, we recommend booking the standard charter. More extreme travelers, meanwhile, should definitely check out the speed boat. Finally, sailing excursions are perfect for couples and families. Choose one or, even better, why not all three?
Get the best deals on the best Orange Beach dolphin cruises anywhere when you book online with TripShock!
On a Jet Ski
One of the absolute coolest ways to see dolphins in Orange Beach is on a waverunner. Get up close and personal with these incredible marine mammals on one of several action-packed jet ski dolphin adventures. Never a dull moment, these zippy, agile watercrafts are incredibly popular for good reason. What we love about waverunner dolphin tours is that not only are you close to the water and the dolphins, but they also travel smaller groups meaning greater personal attention, education, and also perfect for traveling families! Extreme and extremely fun!
Save big on Orange Beach waverunner dolphin tours online!
Swimming with the Dolphins
Literally swimming with dolphins. Oh. My. Goodness. There's no better way to do it! With some skill and a little luck, you can swim with the dolphins out in the surf. A safe, effective way to do so is with a kayak or paddleboard rental. Some of the best places to see dolphins in Orange Beach is in Perdido and Wolf Bays. Not only are the waters generally more friendly, but you are also better able to spot dolphin fins and splashes without the massive waves that you will find out on the beach beyond the wake. An extreme activity, and definitely not one for the faint of heart, take Dori's advice and "just keep swimming!" And if you don't know who Dori is... well, then you're definitely missing out!
Book your Stand Up Paddle Board rentals right here, right now and get out there in the surf!
At Sunset
We're not sure what's more amazing: a spectrum of colors cast upon an endless ocean or socially advanced dolphin pods dancing alongside the boat for your viewing pleasure. One of those spectacular simple things, an ocean sunset is one classic example of Mother Nature doing things up right. Relax and enjoy the horizon as you float gently at dusk in search of bottlenose dolphins. An ideal way to wind down for the day or to perk up following an afternoon nap on the beach, you absolutely cannot go wrong!
Punch your Orange Beach sunset cruise ticket with TripShock today!
From the Orange Beach Islands

Eat, drink, play, and see dolphins in Orange Beach from the shoreline of the famous Orange Beach Islands! Located in the Perdido Pass, Bird Island, Robinson Island, Gilchrist Island, and Walker Island are tight knit group of islands with sweet displays of regional wildlife. Also incredibly popular for boating, snorkeling, and socializing, head on out to the Orange Beach Islands for a whale of a good time (not a dolphin joke, but still funny) in beautiful Southern Alabama.

Read up on Orange Beach, including weather, community amenities, and learn about great travel tips with our official Gulf Shores-Orange Beach visitor's guide!
In sum, Orange Beach, AL, offers a multitude of ways to see dolphins in the wild. The best way to see dolphins is on an Orange Beach dolphin cruise--without a doubt. But with a little info and a little luck, you can catch a glimpse from your beachside hotel or from the docks. Step one is to catch them at either sunrise or sunset when water traffic is low. Also, if you don't have access to a boat, you are more likely to see dolphins in the Perdido Bay than in the Gulf of Mexico. This is because one, the waters are more calm and therefore offer better visibility and two, the dolphins come closer to the docks than the seashore. Now get out there and find yourself a Flipper!

As you might have noticed, we are big proponents of hiking and trail-running. There is a reason why people get hooked on one or both disciplines just after one time on a trail…it is the sounds, the smells, the views, the great workout and each experience brings you close to nature!
There is something about hiking or running on a trail with the sounds of birds chirping, streams flowing, the breeze and even your feet as you move past roots, rocks, gravel, dirt, leaves and whatever else mother nature lays out before you. The smell of the trees, plants and fresh air all add up to a great, overall experience.
All of the senses are cranked up a notch and there is a literal cleansing effect on your mind every time you hit the trails. The payoffs are numerous but usually you are rewarded with a great view at the end of the trail, the simple satisfaction of completing the trail or even conquering a steep hill section!
However, many of these experiences are dampened with the common practice of having ear phones plugged into your head while on the trail which in many cases, lessens the experience. People fool themselves into believing that they need music to keep them going.
That might be true for walking/running on pavement or at the gym but the beauty of being on the trail is that all the stimuli you need surrounds you and you'll be surprised at how much you will learn about your body when the interaction is simply just you and the trail. You will learn a lot about pacing yourself by listening to your breathing patterns and your feet as you avoid obstacles and navigate through the various surfaces the trails will throw at you.
Give it a try, hit the trails with just "you" and we are confident you will notice a distinct difference in both the experience and your performance!

By BERNIE BELLAN
The Rady JCC has chosen finalists for Jewish Athlete of the Year. The winner will be announced at the Rady JCC Ken Kronson Sports Dinner, to be held June 18. The five finalists are:
Michael Akbashev – Judo; Serena Buchwald - Diving; Yohnatan Elizarov – Figure Skating; Sarah Jacobsohn – Ultimate Sports; and Yonatan Orolov – Baton Twirling.
Michael Akbashev - Judo
Michael was born in Israel and moved to Winnipeg in 2016. He now is a member of Mark Berger's West Kildonan judo club. Michael has earned his brown belt, which is the highest level attainable by a junior judoka. Now 16, he is in Grade 10 at J.H. Bruns Collegiate. Competing in both the 73 and 81 kg categories, he was named by Judo Manitoba as the best Youth Athlete for 2018, after winning gold medals at the Saskatchewan Open Championships. He was also a gold medalist at the Edmonton International Championship and the 2018 Canadian Championship. As well, Michael was a silver medalist at the 2018 Canada Cup in the 73kg class and a bronze medalist in the 81kg class at the 2019 Canada Winter Games. In both 2018 and 2019, Michael was selected by Judo Canada to Elite competition.
Serena Buchwald – Diving
Now 19 and a Balmoral Hall graduate, Serena has just completed her freshman year at the University of Pittsburgh. Locally, she competed for the Revolution Diving Club under head coach Dallas Ludwick. In 2016 Serena competed at the senior nationals, qualified for the finals in the three-metre event and earned the opportunity to compete in her first Olympic Trials. Serena was named to Team Manitoba and was a finalist at the 2017 Canada Summer games, finishing in the top 10 on platform. Serena's best performances come on the 10-metre platform.
In 2018, Serena was the Manitoba Women's Diving Champion. Now, as a member of the University of Pittsburgh Panthers Diving Team, Serena is only one of two freshman female divers on the team and the only freshman, male or female competing with a full 10-metre platform list of dives. She placed in the top three at multiple dual meets this NCAA season and consistently scored points for her team at all competitions. She also qualified for the NCAA Qualifying Zone Meet in March and the 2019 Canadian Senior Diving Championships, held in Windsor in May.
Yohnatan Elizarov – Figure Skating
Israeli-born, Yohanatan is now a 15-year-old Grade 10 student at J.H. Bruns Collegiate. Yohnatan became one of the very few Manitoba male skaters to ever reach Skate Canada's National Championships. After winning the provincial novice men's title, he placed 9th out of 25 skaters at the 2019 Skate Canada Challenge. That qualified him for the National Skating Championships, held in Saint John, New Brunswick where, in the Novice Men's category he placed 11th out of 18 competitors. And, at the Canada Winter Games held in February in Red Deer, Yohnatan placed 6th overall. He is currently, the only Elite Team TOBA level skater in Manitoba, and the first Manitoba skater in the last five years to qualify for the National Skating Championship.
Sarah Jacobsohn – Ultimate Sports
Now 18, and about to graduate in June from Gray Academy, Sarah was named the 2018 Canadian Junior Female Athlete of the Year for being the most dominant player in the junior division. Playing for Winnipeg's Masters of Flying Objects team, Sarah helped the team achieve multiple bronze medal finishes at the Canadian Championships last year and was named the Most Valuable Player of the finals. She also captained the Manitoba team to the 2018 National Championship, where Manitoba won its first ever gold medal. Then, at the 2018 World Junior Ultimate Championships, she captained the Canadian U20 team to the bronze medal. Prior to that, Sara played for the U20 national team in 2016 when she was only 15, and helped win the World Junior Championships in Poland. She has now been named to the U24 National team and will compete at the 2019 World Championships in Germany this July.
Yonatan Orolov – Baton Twirling
Yonatan is now 20 and a second year Science student at the University of Winnipeg. He started in his sport at age 11, and has travelled all over the world to compete. In 2018 he won the gold medal in all five events at the Manitoba Championships, and at the 2018 Canadian Championships, held here in Winnipeg, he won his solo and freestyle events, was second in three baton, 4th in solo dance, and 5th in two baton. That performance won him the National Ron Kopas Award for the second year in a row, as the event's top performer, and he was named the Canadian Baton Twirling Federation Male Athlete of the Year. At both the Winter Classic and Valentine events, he won all 5 gold medals. Moving on to the Congressional Cup in Washington, he won the gold medal in 3 baton, finished second in solo and ended up with the silver medal for second place. At the World championships in Florida he placed 12th in the freestyle completion.

NZ Police / ACC Booze Bus
Late on Friday evening early Saturday morning (10th - 11th Jan 2020) the NZ Police were doing their thing on the Leamington side of the High Bridge, as they do. When they were packing up to head off to another location the NZ Police Booze Bus turned left ONTO the High Bridge hitting the overhead Drop down signs that smash into the top of large vehicles. The driver of the NZ Police Booze Bus stopped then kept on going across the bridge into town.
Can the NZ Police please let us know if they issued a Infringement Notice to that NZ Police person behind the steering wheel of that Booze bus for crossing over the bridge and damaging not only the overhead warning signs but also severely damaging the top of the Booze Bus? (The booze bus is owned by the NZ Tax Payer).
I always thought the NZ Police should be setting a good example but it appears in this case the driver was either pissed or asleep at the wheel and crossed over!
Will the NZ Police please respond/comment.
Thank you.

Missing dogs
Please, can you help us!! We are missing two of our dogs and they have now been gone 11 weeks. They may be in your area. Dice ( male black poodle) and Weed ( female black/white Foxy cross) went missing from the Otago Peninsula and after airing on the TV show Seven Sharp we received news that they had been seen tied to a dirty white older model camping van in very rough condition, just outside Dunedin about the time they went missing. Unfortunately, we got this information four weeks after the sighting and we have been chasing ever since. They could now be anywhere in New Zealand. A Facebook page was set up to coordinate a search nationwide and we have had tremendous support with many posters being displayed and flyers distributed. We have had no confirmed sightings of the dogs since then. After initially thinking that they had been picked up by foreign freedom campers, we now think that this van may have been someone just out for a few days away from their routine. The dogs may now be with them at home. Have you noticed any new dogs in your neighbourhood? Both of them are small, friendly and easy to look after. Dice will be much fluffier than the photos unless he has been clipped. Please contact us if you have any information. Alan 0274761775, Louisa 0274300875

In standard construction of hyperrational numbers using ultrapower we assume that the ultrafilter is selective. It makes possible to assign real value to any finite hyperrational number. So, we can consider hyperrational numbers with selective ultrafilter as extension of traditional real numbers. Also proved the existence of strictly monotonic or stationary representing sequence for any hyperrational number.

Raw Superstar Sasha Banks has been pulled from the Mixed Match Challenge tournament due to injury. WWE broadcaster Cathy Kelly announced the injury in a video released on Friday afternoon. The details of the injury have not yet been revealed.
Sasha Banks' replacement in the tournament will be 6-time Women's Champion Mickie James. The veteran of both WWE and TNA fame will be joining Banks' partner Bobby Lashley for (likely) the duration of the competition.
Mickie James and Bobby Lashley compete on next week's episode against Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox (dubbed "Mahalicia"). Also on that episode, Asuka and The Miz will face the team of Carmella and R-Truth.
We will provide an update on Sasha Banks' condition when we get more information.
Sasha Banks is not the only female Superstar to be pulled from Mixed Match Challenge due to injury. WWE announced earlier this week that Alexa Bliss is injured and will be unable to team up with Braun Strowman. The latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that Alexa Bliss' injury is legitimate. She is suffering through numbness in her arm, which is a sign of potential nerve damage.
Alexa Bliss has been replaced by Ember Moon. Moon and Strowman defeated Kevin Owens and Natalya on Tuesday's Season 2 premiere. WWE Champions AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair were also in action against Jimmy Uso and Naomi. Styles and Flair took the win after Charlotte made Naomi tap out.

In advance of Sunday's premiere of Fear the Walking Dead, AMC has released the first three minutes of the Walking Dead companion series.
The clip primarily features Harry Potter alum Frank Dillane, who plays a junkie named Nick. After waking up from what we may safely assume was a drug-induced passing-out, Nick realizes that someone named Gloria (Lexi Johnson) is missing from his side. When he finds her, well … she's not really Gloria anymore. Check it out below.[facebook url="https://www.facebook.com/FearTWD/videos/1480203318964446/" /]
Fear the Walking Dead premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.
For more on what you can expect, we might be able to help you out with that. See below for all the Fear your heart desires — in particular, see our interview with Dillane, who admits that he used to have a hard time shaking off the bleak character he portrays.

Manufactured Spending is a process of (1) spending money on your credit card (2) in a way that can be converted into cash, and (3) using that cash to pay off your credit card. This is another way to help you meet your minimum spend requirements for sign up bonuses or generate extra points. However, certain card issuers are cracking down on certain types of manufactured spending.
Here are my overall tips:
Start Slow– If you a new to a method, do a few smaller test transactions and slowly increase your volume. Some methods are region or location dependent and you don't want to end up with a large number of gift cards that you cannot use.
Keep Records– If I buy a gift card, I instantly take a picture of the card and the receipt. I then try to immediately try to liquidate the card as soon as possible and keep records of everything I buy or use. If you fail to keep good records, you may end up misplacing a gift card and the corresponding receipt, which would mean you lose whatever amount was on that card.
Be Courteous– Follow the Golden Rule. Be nice to everyone and you will have more success. If you frequent a certain location, make friends with the cashier or person you regularly deal with. This will build trust and allow you to increase your volume at that location.
Methods Are Be Shutdown– Anytime there is a great well-known method, expect it to be shut down with a few months. Usually, 2 or 3 methods die each year.
Location Dependent– What works in one city, state, or even specific store might not work in another. Therefore, start slow when you go to a new location.
Don't Get Over Your Head– Just in case you have trouble liquidating a gift card or item, don't buy more than you can afford if you had to wait a month to liquidate or convert the item. Always have a backup plan just in case on method is unsuccessful.
Visa Gift Cards ("VGCs")
To Manufacture Spend using VGCs, you need to buy VGCs then convert them into a cash equivalent. My favorite is to convert VGCs into Money Orders and then deposit the money orders into my bank account.
Buying Visa Gift Cards
Simon Mall
- Fee: $3.95
- Locations (not all locations will sell gift cards; to check go to "About", then scroll down to Amenities and see if the location offers "Simon Mall Gift Cards"). Usually, you can buy up to $8,000 per day.
- You can also buy them online, but I advise you limit the number your order to prevent a shutdown.
- American Express will no longer count Simon Mall VGCs toward minimum spend.
- Website
- Fee: $5.95 for $500
- Note: I would avoid doing a large amount of volume on this website. They will shut you down pretty quickly. You have been shut down if you get the message: "This transaction was not completed. The transaction was not submitted correctly or has been declined by your card issuer. You can try again with a different card or review your payment information for any necessary corrections."
You can also buy Visa Gift Cards at Staples, Office Max, Costco, Sam's Club, and Grocery Stores. However, the cost for the VGC is typically higher in these locations.
Converting Visa Gift Cards to Money Orders
You can liquidate is Walmart for most Visa Gift Cards for 88 cents per $1,000. However, over the past few years, it has been increasingly difficult to liquidate gift cards at Walmart. Most stores now require you to fill out a form if you want to buy over $1,000 in money orders per day For more background, here's a good long walkthrough.
USPS has started to crack down on buying money orders with gift cards, so it appears you can no longer buy money orders there.
- Buying Money Orders depends on the location:
- Metabank Visa Giftcard: Works at Walmart
- Metabank Mastercard Gift Card: Can potentially work at Walmart with a trick. (you only have a very small window to hit "cancel" before the machine tries to run the card as credit instead of debitt. I would only try this if you are a veteran at doing money orders at Walmart)
- One Vanilla/Vanilla Visa Gift Cards: Will not work at Walmart for a money order $50 or more.
- Note: You could potentially use the above Gift Cards at Grocery stores to buy money orders, but it is very store dependent.
Flyertalk Thread with Information on Banks and Depositing Money Orders
Note: I would advise against depositing money orders in your main bank account. Some banks could cancel your account or place restrictions on your account if you deposit excessive amounts of money orders. I would advise you spread out your deposits to a few banks and stay under $1,000 a week per bank.
Square is one of the largest credit card payment processors. Square charges a fee of 2.75% per transaction. I use it a few times a week to assist in reaching minimum spending requirements or reaching minimum transaction numbers for a month to get extra points or avoid monthly fees.
Sign Up Link (you will receive $1,000 in free processing and a free credit card reader)
- Start off slow and with small amounts. Use different credit cards so it seems like you have many different customers. This will help avoid a shutdown by Square.
- You can change the name of the business easily in the settings of the mobile app. I do this frequently to disguise my manufactured spending via Square.
- Samsung Pay will work with the free reader. Android Pay and Apple pay will require the contactless reader, which is $49, and probably not worth it.
- You can generate a profit of 1.75% with the US Bank Altitude Reserve Card by using Samsung Pay, Android Pay, or Apple Pay with Square. (Altitude Reserve offers 3x mobile payments and points are worth 1.5 CPP with airfare.)
- To avoid receiving a 1099 tax form, stay under $20,000 in swipes and under 200 transactions per year. (Exception is Massachusetts and Vermont where the limit is $600)
Cruise Ships
Several cruise ship companies, such as Carnival, want to encourage gambling at their onboard casinos. Many times you can add money to your room card, which is charged to your room/credit card for free. You then play the penny slots a few times and cash out. Check the limits that the cruise ship puts on this practice and make sure there is no fee. Also, use a card without foreign transaction fees and you should also stay under $10,000 because you have to declare any amount above that at U.S. Customs. You will have to transport a lot of cash, so make a quick stop at a bank before you head home.

The Wilson A2K 1721 is a recent addition to Wilson's Glove Line, replacing the outgoing Wilson A2K DW5 as the sole A2K third basemen's mitt. Here is what you need to know about this brand new model:
The 1721 Pattern is Brand New - and Differs from the DW5 Pattern
- The 1721 pattern, just like the outgoing DW5 pattern it is replacing, measures at 12 inches and features a flexible H-web design.
- But, the 1721's pocket is shallower than the DW5's notoriously deep pocket, yet will still be able to close around the ball easily and be a solid pocket for picking it at the hot corner.
Our Take on the 1721 Pattern
The 1721's slightly shallower and more straightforward pocket is a much better option for third basemen than the DW5's funky deeper and longer pocket design.
The 1721 features a New Addition to Wilson's Lineup: Copper
- Wilson introduced a new color to its already diverse palette this year: copper. It is a lighter, brighter brown color that is only available on stock A2K models.
- The Wilson A2K 1721 prominently features this new color on its palm, finger & thumb strips, and web, while also mixing in both black and white throughout the mitt.
Our Take on the Wilson A2K 1721's Colorway
The unique and sharp copper color has quickly become a personal favorite, especially when black and white are utilized in such a sweet-looking manner.
The 1721's Material Quality is Outstanding
- The Wilson A2K 1721 features an array of high quality materials that confirm its stature as a top quality third base gloves.
- For example, the A2K's Pro Stock Select leather is a thick and firm American Steerhide leather that is known for its long-term durability, despite the amount of use.
- The 1721 also features a technology called Double Palm Construction, which places a thin piece of leather underneath the palm for a firmer and more durable pocket.
- Despite this, the A2K 1721 will not be a total bear to break-in due to Wilson's 3X shaping process, which pre-shapes your mitt in the factory to make the glove more workable out of the box.
Our Take on the 1721's Materials
The A2Ks' materials one-two punch of pliability and long-term durability make a glove like the Wilson A2K 1721 highly appealing and certainly worth its higher price tag.
- The Wilson A2K 1721 is a third basemen's glove with an excellent length and pocket depth, an ultra clean colorway, and mixes a group of high quality materials together to make an overall awesome glove for the hot corner.
- However, the Wilson A2K 1721's price tag is rather steep ($359.99), yet it totally worth the investment if you both like what the 1721 offers and are willing to spend this amount of money on a top-notch glove.
Other Notes: A prior version of this post stated that the 1721 pattern is a replica of the DW5 pattern, but has since been corrected with a more accurate representation of the 1721 pattern.

Mr Super Poopy Pants
Toby, the narrator of this story has been perfectly content with just one sibling, his big sister Clemmie, but then a new family member arrives. He's not called Batman as Toby had hoped but Benjamin, although Toby's name for him is Mr Poopy Pants and he's certainly no superhero. In fact he cannot even utter a single word. He does make noises though – cries, burps and parps – the latter often heralding a poop - a very frequent occurrence. Toby identifies distinct types, his favourite being the bath-time Submarine Poop, the Ghost Poop albeit a fake poop– this works a treat for clearing a busy park and the Waterfall Poop, which is excellent for enabling a hasty escape from posh boring parties. In fact, this tiny baby actually does have super powers; indeed he's a Pooperhero. The talking will come later, unlike with his big sister Clemmie, as Toby gently reminds readers at the end of this funny story. Well not quite the end: Mr PP himself has the final word.
Rebecca Elliott's illustrations are a riot of colour and pattern. It's a real pleasure to meet a new addition to Toby and Clemmie's family, especially one presented in such a warm, funny manner.

IWGP Heavyweight champ Kenny Omega has revealed he's currently suffering from a fractured rib … but the wrestler says he won't be taking time off because he doesn't want to disrespect the title.
Kenny talked about his injury situation while streaming a Mario Party session on Being the Elite's Twitch feed. Omega explained, "The foot is doing much better, it is my rib that is fractured right now."
Adding, "My ribs are in a bad way, but what can you do … right? I'm not one of those guys that likes to try to brag. Like, 'Hey, look. I'm injured and I'm so tough I'm gonna keep fighting.' It's not like that at all. It's just you gotta do what you gotta do."
The wrestler finished this portion of the conversation saying, "You just gotta go when you're the champ, ya know? You can't disrespect the belt. You can't take days off."
Kenny is scheduled to wrestle next month in a tag match with Kota Ibushi at Power Struggle.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) has concluded its 102rd running of the Indianapolis 500. The fans are gone, and the team trucks have moved on to the next stop on the IndyCar circuit. For IMS though, they've been able to fill their yearly calendar with a number of events including the Month of May, NASCAR's Brickyard 400 and a Red Bull Air Race.
Large event venues (especially in motorsports) work all year to put on one or two major events while their speedway or other venue sits empty the other 300+ days a year. While their big events are the reason for their respective venues' existence, how can these properties drive interest in their venue year-round in their community?
As a venue operator, community engagement is incredibly important. If your 2-mile speedway sits in a residential area and packs thousands upon thousands of fans into it every year, your neighbors and city need to see the value your venue provides. At the same time, if you engage the community throughout the year, you'll be able to introduce more people to your venue or race track that may not typically attend your big event.
So how can you bring people to your venue, even in your offseason? Here some ideas and a few great events we've seen.
Community events: Is a group looking to put on a 5k fun run? Invite them to the track. How about your local beer or wine festival? Watkins Glen International features one of each throughout the summer. Simple events like these can help grow your presence in your community.
Think outside the track: How about we get a little creative? Each year, Pocono Raceway hosts the Pocono Lantern Festival, featuring live music, food and a lantern release, at the same place where IndyCar and NASCAR go 200mph around the triangle speedway. It's unique and draws a large crowd after Pocono Raceway has finished their racing season.
Let's get festive: Light displays around the holidays seem to be all the rage among motorsports properties, with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Gateway Motorsports Park and Circuit of the Americas starting displays in recent years (among others). These properties are able to build awareness of their venue in their offseason and offer their communities a fun family holiday experience. Win-win.
Concerts: Millennials have been known to value experiences over physical goods, and concerts always seem to be at the top of the list. Michigan International Speedway (MIS) noticed the trend a few years ago and now hosts the Faster Horses country music festival. Starting in 2013, MIS has invited thousands of music fans to the speedway for the annual three-day festival.
This is far from an all-encompassing list, so what other unique ideas have you seen excel at large venues? How do you create year-round interest at your venue? Let me know on Twitter, @KGinty.

Editorials, Opinion Pieces Address Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Debate
Several editorials and opinion pieces published recently examine the congressional debate over a Medicare prescription drug benefit. Summaries of the editorials and opinion pieces appear below.
Billings Gazette: Congress should include in its Medicare legislation recommendations by the Medicare Payment Advisory Committee to address so-called geographic disparities in Medicare payments and the payment system for providers, a Gazette editorial states. The editorial concludes, "It's time to put an end to ... regional disparities" in Medicare reimbursement rates and halt an anticipated provider payment reduction (Billings Gazette, 7/2).
Des Moines Register: A Medicare prescription drug benefit "isn't really necessary" for most seniors because a "vast majority" of them already have drug coverage, but creating such a benefit "is a way for lawmakers to let voting seniors know they haven't been forgotten," a Register editorial states. The editorial concludes, "Let's see how those seniors feel in a few years when millions of them have lost their employer-sponsored prescription drug benefit after a Medicare benefit is enacted" (Des Moines Register, 7/3).
Opinion Pieces
- Gus Cardenas, Dallas Morning News: The means-testing provision in the House bill "could result in big changes that would undermine Medicare even as we seek to improve it," Cardenas, president of the Texas chapter of AARP, writes in a Morning News opinion piece. He concludes, "So, even as we applaud Congress for finally taking us to the brink of a meaningful prescription drug benefit, we must not undermine the fundamental strength of Medicare by subjecting the coverage to means testing" (Cardenas, Dallas Morning News, 7/3).
- Dr. Ana Malinow, Dallas Morning News: Although "there is no question that Medicare's benefit package needs to be updated," privatization is not the solution to the situation, Malinow, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and co-founder of Health Care for All Texas, writes in a Morning News opinion piece. Although proponents of using private plans say the private plans encourage competition and reduce costs in the open market, Malinow notes that Medicare's per beneficiary average spending rate has increased 9.6% per year since 1970, compared to an 11.1% per member spending growth rate for private insurers. Malinow concludes, "The real focus of Medicare reform shouldn't be to subsidize private insurance companies. Congress should move to strengthen an honorable program by becoming more, not less, involved" (Malinow, Dallas Morning News, 7/3).
- Jack Kemp, Investor's Business Daily: "There is great reason to worry that whatever version of 'reform' emerges from" the conference committee charged with reconciling the House and Senate Medicare bills, "harm will be done," Kemp, a syndicated columnist and co-director of Empower America, writes in an Investor's Business Daily opinion piece. According to Kemp, the bills' $400 billion expense marks the return of "big government," and the subsidies for beneficiaries included in the bills would also create an "incentive to overconsume health care." Kemp states that the conference committee "would be wise" to ensure that seniors have access to a "basic safety-net health care package" that covers routine and preventive care with affordable copayments and deductibles combined with catastrophic coverage (Kemp, Investor's Business Daily, 7/3).

Life Insurance for Over 60 Years Old Seniors – Do You Need It?
Protection is not a matter of age; you need to be protected and to protect no matter how old or young you are. Senior citizens represent one of the most vulnerable classes of people and they must be bestowed with the best socio-economic protection possible. Retired citizens do not earn as much as hired breadwinners and they must carefully balance all expenses.
So, you should reflect on the problem of finding adequate insurance. You still need life insurance for over 60 years old senior and we will explain you why.
If you never had life insurance and you are approaching retirement age, you may think that odds are not in your favor. Many people think this way and they perceive life insurance as a service granted only for those young and healthy. Do not be misled or misinformed. Numerous companies sell advantageous and well-tailored policies that cater exactly on the needs of senior citizens. Even retired citizens can now purchase life insurance.
But the real question is if you really need it. The answer is yes, due to several reasons. Even if you are old, some people may still depend on you: more exactly, your spouse and small children, if you have ones. But most people by this age have grown up children who already established their own families. In this case, you can name your spouse and your grandchildren as beneficiaries. Surely your family will be satisfied by this noble gesture.
Also, you must take into account the funeral costs. Nowadays, a complete traditional funeral ceremony costs several thousands of dollars, in many cases surpassing $10.000. Pre-arranging funeral and saving money for it is the most logical and normal thing to do, if you want to help the family pass that critical moment.

text: The stirring true story of a father and his three children trapped on an Alaskan island in midwinter. Wortman, 52 and divorced, was a rheumatic carpenter on Social Security disability living with his children--Cindy (16), Randy (15), and Jena Lynn (12)--on a floathouse at Port Refugio, where southeast Alaska joins British Columbia. Returning from a dental visit to nearby Prince Rupert, they were caught in a blizzard at sea just as Wortman came down with the flu; and after three nightmarishly sleepless days, they found themselves shipwrecked on a rocky island. Everything went wrong--they separated in the thundering surf, they could salvage almost nothing from the crumbling yacht. Starving, they spent days moving to a cove; then, built a raft. Thinking they were near a familiar island, Wortman and Randy set off for a cabin they knew about, to radio for help--leaving Cindy and Jena Lynn behind, under a sail. After all, they expected to be back in three hours. The cabin turned out to be seven miles off, and under a heavy snow; when Wortman and Randy reached it, their radio failed and their feet swelled so badly they couldn't walk for three days, until they improvised crutches from metal oars. They were clearly too sick to paddle back for the girls, in freezing weather under the wet sail; and two weeks of unrelenting guilt passed before they had strength enough to move the raft and set back to recover the girls' bodies. But they were alive! Skeletal, sore-ridden, but living. Simply told, but gripping--as much for its horrors of guilt as its blistering man-against-nature theme.

I have a gypsy love
moving along my build,
that speeds up at my heart beat
and comes undone the seams.
I have a sigh love that is unlamented,
that moves me to the flamenco beat.
And between turns and steps,
I do a dance with him to forget you,
forgetting to do so.

Important considerations are that firstly, a new-build is zero rated for VAT, whereas renovations are subject to 20% VAT.
Secondly, its a good idea to take an objective look at the house you have and think about what will be left of the original fabric if you decide to go down the renovation route. For example, if you have a poorly built bungalow and wish to put another storey on top, as well as replacing window and doors, and insulating the walls, you will only have the original block-work walls left of the original building. In this situation a re-build is by far the most sensible route.
Trying to make existing cold walls perform thermally is going to be very difficult too as the thermal-bridge to ground cannot be easily avoided.
If the home you are considering renovation work on has some architectural merit, and the renovation work is not so dramatic, then it may be better to retain the original structure and so avoid the material expenses of rebuilding.

We offer a range of specialist buy-to-let mortgages for both portfolio and non-portfolio landlords, which are competitive with simple lending criteria.
Please visit our intermediary page.
If your current mortgage product has come to an end and you would like to switch to a new product, simply Log in to your account and follow the on-screen instructions.
The products available to you will be dependent on your property type and whether you are classified as a non-portfolio or portfolio landlord under both Paragon criteria and the new PRA regulation guidelines.
The full range of products available can be found in our Non-portfolio product switch rate guide and our Portfolio product switch rate guide. If you're not sure what type of landlord you are, we've compiled this simple guide to help you find out.
Existing customers can apply for additional borrowing through a further advance by way of a second charge mortgage. This is a secondary loan which is secured against the property of your main (or first charge) buy-to-let mortgage.
For a single property application on accounts with up to two applicants, you can apply for a further advance online. Simply Log in to get started.
If you wish to make a further advance application for multiple properties, or with more than two applicants, then you will need to fill out a further advance application form and send it to us.
We also offer our existing customers the chance to apply for a product switch and further advance on a single account at the same time. Simply Log in to start the process.
Please note that when making a combined application, it is important that the product switch and further advance applications are made as a single transaction. This is so that we can make sure the correct affordability assessment is carried out.

In the past 10 years the Land Registry has paid out £58 million in indemnity claims as a result of fraud. Recent case law will help to protect homeowners from property hijack, the fraud involving the transfer of a property title to another without the true owner's knowledge.
However, there are steps you can take as a landlord to protect your property. The Land Registry offers a free alert service to notify you if anyone attempts to make changes to the registration of your property. You should also make sure your correspondence address is included on the proprietor register so that any paperwork in relation to your property is sent to you and not the tenant.
Full details of both services can be found at the UK Government website here.

Now a friend of mine told me to start writing good things, repining that I always write things that upset me.
Looking back I know that it maybe true. I mean for the last couple of posts I have written about my internship and what all I realized after it, my bad exams(shit results are going to be announced soon) and my really bad temper.
So I'll try to write some good things for today.
1) My internship did teach me good things. Great many things which unless and until you aren't in the service field you won't know. And because of it, when I was told to stand and talk about it in front of the class I could.
2) I am a good speaker.
I don't know how this is possible, but I am not good with words. I suck at making friends. But when given me enough time and told me to prepare a presentation, I am GOOD.
Really good. I can see even the most uninterested people looking at me. I may have accomplished to enthrall them. And its a high to speak when all are listening so intently.
Same happened today. Me talking about my internship and people listening eagerly
3)Um, my dog is okay with rains. In fact now after 4 years he actually started enjoying them. He was running around pulling on his leash yesterday full excited and not a bit worried about the rains. I know I shouldn't walk him in rains but couldn't help it, we were already walking when it rained.
4) Now according to my WordPress app on my phone, this post is going to be my 50th!! I can't believe I have written 50 posts and its been three months or more since I wrote my first!
I loved writing all the previous 49 posts, loved reading other people's blogs. Loved finding more people with verisimilar interests and people who shared the same worries that I do. Or I did.
For the first time in all the social networking sites this is the first one where I can actually socialize. People are nice and show such humility that makes you feel right at home.
Best is this. I feel a peace each time I press publish. Relaxed. I should learn how to talk better with people I know, but I rather write now.
(I really love whining and bragging it seems 😉 )
Thanks For Reading

Servest's Lucky Ncayiyana takes SHEQ to a whole new level :
Health & safety principles, more than just a document – Servest's Lucky Ncayiyana takes SHEQ to a whole new level
Johannesburg, 27 September 2018 – The forthcoming World quality day, which is acknowledged annually, is about the quality management of organisations putting in place competent systems, to ensure that the activity of the said organisation consistently delivers on its promises to customers and stakeholders. It is an assurance framework to help organisations understand operational risk and an improvement framework, to mitigate it and improve on its current operations. [Parts sourced from: https://goo.gl/5UdY4N]
At Servest, (SHEQ) quality management is a non-negotiable imperative, in delivering the work the company does for their clients; and in sustaining its own reputation as an integrated services company. SHEQ management is applied across the broad spectrum of Servest's services, including security, cleaning, parking, catering, hygiene, office services and landscaping.
SHEQ management, is a technical field that applies to several disciplines for compliance and continued improvement of occupational Safety, Health, Environment and Quality factors that impact any organisation.
Lucky Ncayiyana is the SHEQ Manager for Servest's Landscaping and Turf division and his role entails providing strategic leadership and direction to all colleagues, which extends beyond the Landscaping division, such as the driving support in SHEQ programs and initiatives throughout the wider organisation.
In Landscaping specifically however, safety is a critical component, as the equipment is technically complex and often entails a high risk in handling it. This means assessing inherent risks to these high-tech machines, as well as controlling the exposure of hazardous substances to colleagues, while keeping landscapes (whether these be golf courses, stadiums, or gardens to name a few) at their best. Among the many initiatives in the division, Lucky is also responsible for rolling out in-house driver awareness training nationally, to help up-skill drivers of security vehicles on the road and curb vehicle related accidents.
This risk based SHEQ management approach, ensures uniformity and standardisation across regions. Monitoring and evaluation of the system is performed by means of using various platforms, including, but not limited to;
- Toolbox talks, which are given at the beginning of each shift. These talks cater to specific topics of health and safety.
- Training and induction initiatives for all new colleagues, with yearly refresher sessions for all colleagues.
- Periodic safety file reviews.
"In Landscaping, we outsource some activities, which require managing contractors to meet Servest's standards of service delivery. Therefore, contractor management processes are adhered to at all times, with specific focus on contractor competency, verification of relevant documentation and monitoring of their work" says Lucky.
In many businesses, policy documents are put in place to safeguard the organisation with regards to accountability issues or activities, however in the case of Servest, these policies are guidelines that are prescribed, to not only protect the organisation, but more importantly, the colleagues performing the tasks.
"We don't have the luxury of being lackadaisical about processes, as it is the lifeblood of our organisation and industry as a whole. Our clients trust that our internal, as well as contractor protocol processes are in place, one hundred percent, all the time, at any time," says Lucky.
Whilst Servest's practices and policies are targeted towards processes, colleagues are consistently reminded that they are in the business of people.

Psychiatric Services in Washington State
Individuals battling mental health disorders and conditions find it challenging to achieve long-term sobriety. The reason is that dealing with both substance abuse and mental health issues at the same time requires extra effort and additional stamina on the part of the affected individual if they are to achieve and maintain a drug-free and addiction-free life. Free by the Sea is located in the State of Washington. We offer psychiatric services for individuals who are receiving treatment for alcohol and drug abuse.
Serving the Pacific Northwest, including Washington (Seattle), Oregon (Portland), and Alaska.
When a person courageously makes the challenging decision to stop abusing alcohol and drugs, a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is the first step. In fact, in the majority of circumstances, these individuals have never received a full psychiatric assessment while they were sober. For this reason, immediately following detox, one of the first steps a person should take is to have a psychiatric evaluation done since it will provide a clear picture of the factors that may have led to the person's addiction. During this assessment, an individual's cognitive, emotional, and physical health is measured. Based on the information ascertained, a treatment plan can be created that takes co-occurring issues into consideration.
Why Are Psychiatric Services Important?
In many instances, codependency and bipolar disorder work together to fuel addiction. Individuals dealing with these mental health issues attempt to self-medicate by using drugs and alcohol. Only programs that address the challenges of co-occurring conditions, such as addiction coupled with mental health disorders, can offer long-term recovery treatment. By using a combined treatment approach, individuals are taught how to manage their addiction and their mental health issues without falling back on substance abuse.
Many individuals have no clue they are struggling to overcome both their addiction and a mental health problem. Most only realize that if they abuse drugs, they feel better, and the negative emotions they experience are subdued. These individuals may be battling extreme anxiety, accelerated levels of stress, or major depression. Sadly, when an individual is facing these challenges, they may be unaware that there are healthy ways to address their emotional issues. Granted, using addictive substances provides immediate but temporary relief. In the long term, substance abuse will only exacerbate the original problem. Self-medicating creates a spiral behavioral pattern where a person consistently needs more of a particular substance to avoid the uncomfortable emotions connected with the mental health challenges. Over time, the individual is both psychologically and physiologically dependent on the substance. Treatment programs that take a holistic approach focus on treating the entire person rather than just focusing on one aspect of the individual's life.
Why Choose Free by the Sea?
Free by the Sea is a beautiful campus, located on the Long Beach Peninsula in Ocean Park, WA.

You have many reasons why you want to get into a treatment program and take steps to stop the destructive cycle that addiction creates. Addiction creates a cycle that produces negative consequences, not just for the individual who is addicted to a substance, but also for their friends and family. People living with addiction have difficulty forming solid relationships because the addiction takes a heavy toll on the individual's loved ones.
If addiction and the underlying mental health issues are not addressed, the end result will be disastrous for the individual. If not treated, addiction will eventually lead to a person losing absolutely everything they hold dear. This includes friendships, employment, self-esteem, and a whole host of other issues. We urge you to contact us now at 800-264-5899 to learn more about how we at Free by the Sea Can help you to address your problem head-on and begin the process of recovering from the downward spiral that is the cycle of addiction.
