Prophetic Action & Urban Anonymity
Dave Fagg
Posted on April 13, 2009
My dear boy, you can't imagine what anonymity is like in a profession like mine – it's like a warm cloak
(Max, arms dealer, Mission Impossible)
Last year, I wrote an opinion piece for a local newspaper, decrying the demonization of the 'mall rats' – people who spend time in the mall and behave in (sometimes) offensive ways. This provoked a few fiery letters in reply, some rather personal. It got me thinking about the extent to which public, prophetic & protest action can be sustained in rural and regional areas.
In urban areas, protest is generally anonymous. Unless the protestor is arrested, or appears in the media, her actions are hidden from her neighbours, and others on whom he relies for other endeavours, such as employment or community activities. Most forms of protest (vigil, rally, public meeting etc), when they take place in the centre of a metropolis, remain anonymous. For example, I took part in a rally against the Iraq war in 2001; I could be close to certain that no-one could discover I was there unless I told them. In this sense, I can protest with impunity or fear of censure, because no-one will punish me for it.
However, take this protest to a regional, rural or even suburban area, and your cloak of anonymity is quickly whipped off. It is like uninhibited dancing on a darkened stage upon which a spotlight is unexpectedly trained. There is a feeling of vulnerability, of everyone knowing. This is because in rural/regional areas, it is easy to know who people are, especially if such towns have their own newspapers. Those that don't are small enough for everyone to know everyone directly. Once a protest becomes public in a regional/rural area, people become attackable, boxed, their face in the cross-hairs of those who support what is being undermined by the protest.
Of course, if protest & closed community is the total end of your endeavours, then this is not a worry. Protest and damn the consequences. However, I'm seeking to build an alternative world inspired and sustained by Jesus, and in this I assume that in every person there is the potential to do and be good. Therefore, the good I attempt to do, I want to do in partnership with others. I want my public actions to be prophetic, not simply protest-ant.
But this partnership can be threatened by our prophetic actions. Those we wish to partner with (morally, logistically, financially etc) will, at some point, become offended by our actions. Even if they are not offended, they may feel unable to cooperate with us because they need to co-operate with others who are offended. Though they exist in metropoli, these links of interdependence are more obvious and less distant in regional/rural areas.
Some of our partners in community activities in Bendigo may be quite happy to co-operate on some initiatives, such as a community art project, but may be appalled at being associated with a group who protests publically. For example, if I protest against the production of the Bushmaster military vehicle in Bendigo, I may anger a wide variety of people: politicians who have lobbied for this business; people are employed by this business, and their families; and the general population, because I am criticising a local 'success'.
So, what to do? Obviously, refusing to engage in any kind of political action is inexcusable, so these are my thoughts so far:
· Choose issues carefully and keep to them
· Start with dialogue
· Continually articulate the issues respectfully
· If confrontation becomes necessary or unavoidable, prepare for backlash
· A 'coalition of the willing' is necessary

A1. Instagram is where you can bring your brand to life – after all, your pictures tell your story! Show off your fun company culture, create awareness of your brand, showcase products and advertise – either using influencers or sponsored campaigns. #bufferchat
— Ben Hollom FCIM (@benhollom) February 21, 2018
A1 @Instagram is a great channel for niche topics and communities.
?Insta Stories: Use GIFs, make videos, and link to your content/deals
?Make use of story highlights (products, valuable info)
?Leverage Facebook's ad targeting for IG marketing#bufferchat pic.twitter.com/3mbq1l0mB5
— Nancy Casanova (@nancycasanova) February 21, 2018
A1: The visual nature of Instagram makes it great for storytelling – regardless of industry. Even the dullest of industries can create compelling visual content. I've seen dentists, manufacturing plants, + more kick butt on Instagram by investing in visual content. #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/butFc9Gh53
— Anne Mercer (@Anne_E_Mercer) February 21, 2018
A1: If your audience matches the demographic of that of Instagram's most frequent users, get on there! It's a great platform to showcase what your customers AND your staff are up to in a more personal way. #BufferChat pic.twitter.com/wFe1CODbja

From the community:
A2 for the account I manage; I've started posting less. And I spend time searching relevant hashtags, so that I can like and comment on others' content. I don't use any bots for this, and try to make each comment personable. People can sniff out the nonsense! #BufferChat
— Matt Quanstrom (@MattQuanstrom) February 21, 2018
A2: 2-part posts. Post the 1st image with strong hashtags to get eyes on it. Let them know image 2 is coming the next day to get them hooked & make them follow you so they don't miss it! #bufferchat
— Jennifer Wright (@jenfwright) February 21, 2018
A2: for more awareness or followers start adding:
1. quotes and inspirations
2. run contests
3. you can also consider Instagram advertising
4. cross-promote your Instagram account on other social media channels
5. using relevant hashtags according to your niche#bufferchat
— Ashok Sharma (@Ashok83) February 21, 2018
• Look into themes or tactics your competitors are using.
• Always take advantage of relevant hashtags.
• Engage with your audience! Ask them if you can use images they tag your account in to create curated content.
• Use stories to highlight important events. #bufferchat

A3: Videos generally do well. Pictures of myself/team or really just putting a face to the account do well. Also when tagging location and using a hashtag on IG stories, I found that to be helpful to get on the location/hashtag story as well. #bufferchat
— Ambriss (@ambriss_) February 21, 2018
@buffer A3 – People seem to love it when I show the pretty awesome city I live in! From my biz account, they love anything behind the scenes, my days are varied, which lends nicely to that! #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/QfVDcjGiXe

A3: Saturday's are our biggest days by far, followed by Tuesdays. I know the more consistent I am with our posting, the more engagement we see. Sunsets are hands down our most popular posts, followed by wine pics (for our wine fest) #bufferchat

A4: Use Stories every day! This helps your visibility tremendously. Post one photo a day, but never sacrifice quality. If you don't have something great to post, skip a day and curate great content for the next few days. Consistency is key! #bufferchat
— Erin Sanchez (@candidlyerin) February 21, 2018
Consistent, valuable content always wins.
Ask loyal followers (via Stories) to get notifications when you post something new.
And do a "tease" for your new post on Stories too!#bufferchat pic.twitter.com/M7lWgOdUSj
— Tori Dunlap | FOR HIRE: Marketer & Blogger (@victori_media) February 21, 2018
A4. Engaging with relevant account & with bespoke comments is more important than ever to bring people back to your account. Event and time based content may no longer be seen prior to your event so you've got to be purposeful in getting people to find your posts ?. #BufferChat pic.twitter.com/0WbAO9bTmp
— Miss Sophie (@letsdostuffs) February 21, 2018
A4: Having "content themes" that span multiple days works well with this Instagram Algorithm… The more meta-information in the post, the more likely it will be shown to the same people over the course of a 2-3 day period #Bufferchat

Rollback of Mandatory Driver Rest Time Has No Place in Bill
Press Contact
Ted GotschEmail: [email protected] Phone: (202) 624-6911
(WASHINGTON) – The following is a statement from Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa in response to a provision included in new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization legislation that would curb states' ability to require mandatory meal and rest breaks for truck drivers.
"The Teamsters raised the warning flag late last year when some in Congress tried to include language in a long-term transportation funding bill that would have overridden the decision of 22 states to require truckers to take meal and rest breaks. Now lawmakers are at it again, using the FAA bill to endanger motorists all across the country.
"These elected officials are doing the bidding of the American Trucking Association, which wants drivers on the clock as much as possible for time behind the wheel. In fact, the provision would also limit how a truck driver could be paid and not even compensate them for safety procedures like performing pre-trip inspections. In addition to robbing drivers of pay, the language could prevent drivers from collecting workers compensation and sick leave benefits, among other worker benefits. In short, it overrules the fundamental principle that all workers should be paid for the time they work."
"Some things are more important than corporate profits. Already, nearly 4,000 lives are claimed each year on U.S. highways in accidents involving tractor trailers. Elected officials must not allow that to go any higher. The Teamsters and our allies beat back efforts to jeopardize roadway safety last year, and we will not allow this misguided effort to take flight either."
Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.4 million hardworking men and women throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Visit www.teamster.org for more information. Follow us on Twitter @Teamsters and "like" us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/teamsters.

Author: Huajun Zhang
ISBN: 978-0-7391-4792-4 (Print) 978-0-7391-8348-9 (Electronic)
This book explores the central question of how to cultivate a continued sense of self in the radically changing Chinese society, a question that is highly relevant to the current ongoing educational reform. If education cannot respond to the problem of students' disconnection from the changing society, learning cannot truly happen in school and the reform will fail. Huajun Zhang suggests a philosophy of education that highlights the cultivation of students' unique but inclusive individuality so that students learn how to nurture their own minds in this profoundly changing society rather than becoming empty and lost. The discussion of this proposed question is inspired by the thoughts of the American pragmatist John Dewey and Chinese Confucian scholar Liang Shuming. It is not the author's intention to have a pure philosophical discussion, but rather to refer to their philosophies to help answer the practical question of cultivating individuality in an educational setting during this period of China's modern transition.

Lighter Life, based in the United Kingdom, offers consumers weight loss and weight management products in a direct-sales format. While the company touts its personal support throughout the entirety of the program, some individuals find themselves wondering just where they can obtain the special Lighter Life food packs. With some basic research, or even entrepreneurial spirit, consumers can easily purchase the products and become Lighter Life customers.
From Weight-Management Counselors
Lighter Life uses a "network marketing," or direct sales, approach to the distribution of its products. Using an approach similar to that of other network marketing companies, Lighter Life relies on a veritable army of independent sales persons, referred to within the company as "Weight-Management Counselors," to provide direct contact and support to customers. The personal service offered varies from counsellor to counsellor, as some simply sell products while others host and maintain complete weight management sessions. Customers who do not personally know a Lighter Life Weight-Management Counselor can use an intuitive look up tool on the company's website, or may simply ask an existing customer to identify a local counsellor.
From the Company Itself
If the area where a potential customer resides does not have a readily available Lighter Life Weight-Management Counselor, entrepreneurial individuals may elect to assume this position. While the company does not sell its products directly to consumers, independent weight management counsellors are in a unique position to purchase the products for both personal use and for distribution to end users. Lighter Life recommends that potential Weight-Management Counselors be energetic and self-motivated, have excellent interpersonal skills, "emotional resilience" (a term that translates to being able to handle rejection well) and, preferably, previous business experience. In exchange for these skills, Lighter Life offers its Weight-Management Counselors a branded individual business start-up, an accredited training program, flexible working hours and the potential to generate a considerable profit. Of course, one perk available to weight loss counsellors is the ability to purchase Lighter Life products directly from the company.
Online Auctions
Individuals with no local access to a Weight-Management Counselor and who do not wish to become a counsellor themselves may turn to online auction venues to purchase Lighter Life food packs. As Weight-Management Counselors throughout the United Kingdom leave the business or find themselves with excess inventory, many turn to online auction houses to unload their unsold food packs. Online auction prices for Lighter Life food packs vary, but auctioned Lighter Life products typically sell for around the same price as products from a Weight-Management Counselor (plus any applicable shipping charges). Because Lighter Life operates primarily in the United Kingdom, American consumers may resort to online auction venues to purchase the products or to set up a long-distance relationship with one of the company's Weight-Management Counselors.

Children are a heritage from the Lord,
Offspring a reward from him.
Psalm 127:3
Today is January 5, which means that it's my youngest daughter Avery's birthday.
Twelve years ago, Avery came into our lives not in the middle of the night; not after many long hours of labor; her delivery was about as convenient as one could hope for, which is in keeping with her sweet and accommodating sprit.
They say that first-borns are uptight rule followers because their parents were extra cautious the first time around, reading every book and following every bit of handed down wisdom, no matter how absurd. Middle kids are said to be high maintenance and attention seeking because of their caught-in-the-middle status. Last-born kids are often independent and inventive and tough because their parents are overwhelmed and beat down, and they are often short-changed on one-on-one attention and spend more time alone than their older siblings, whom they must learn to navigate and negotiate.
I don't know if any of that last paragraph is absolutely true, but it sometimes feels like it around our house, which is to say that I often feel guilty about not having enough time for my kids – especially Avery.
At twelve yeas old, knowing that your father is writing words about you and posting them on the Internet is cringe-inducing, so I'll keep it short and sweet and simply say that I love this kid to death. She is sweet and kind and sensitive. She has a great sense of humor topped off with great timing. She keeps us all laughing, and always has.
One of my great joys has been to share her field hockey experiences with her. I love everything about being involved with this aspect of her life, and unlike her social life, where she's very typically 12, she is happy to let me be as involved as I want. It's our thing, and I look forward to every practice. Every game.
I have no idea what the future holds for any of us, but I trust God and try to do my best to live in the moment and enjoy watching Avery turn from a little girl into a young lady. I'm so proud.
My children are indeed a reward from God, and I'm so grateful to him for them. And today, I'm extra grateful for our little Avery.

Criminal Expungement
By : Jordan H. Soderlind | Category : Uncategorized | Comments Off on Criminal Expungement
15th Mar 2017
Criminal Expungement
Criminal expungement is the process of going to court to ask a judge to seal a court record. An expungement is when the court seals an individual's criminal arrest and court record. The benefit of an expungement is that the sealed criminal records would not be seen during a criminal background check.
In 2015, Minnesota expanded its expungement law. Under the new "second chance" law, more Minnesotans are eligible for an expungement. Not all offenses and records are eligible for expungement. Only certain types of felonies are eligible for expungement. Someone with a criminal record may be eligible for an expungement based on how much time has passed since the sentence was discharged, the type of crime they were convicted of, and their criminal history.
The law states that expungements may be granted in the following situations:
1. Certain drug possession offenses resolved under specific statutes;
2. Juveniles prosecuted as an adult;
3. All criminal proceedings were resolved in the petitioner's favor – meaning there was never an admission or finding of guilt, even if the charges were eventually dismissed;
4. The petitioner successfully completed the terms of a diversion program or stay of adjudication and has not been charged with a new crime for at least one year since completion of the diversion program or stay of adjudication;
5. The petitioner was convicted of a petty misdemeanor or misdemeanor and has not been convicted of a new crime for at least two years since discharge of the sentence;
6. The petitioner was convicted of a gross misdemeanor and has not been convicted of a new crime for at least four years since discharge of the sentence; and
7. The petitioner was convicted of specified felonies and has not been convicted of a new crime for at least five years since discharge of the sentence.
Frequently, the petitioner carries the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the expungement would yield a benefit to the petitioner commensurate with the disadvantages to the public and public safety. In some instances, the burden switches to the state.
Expunging criminal records involves a balance between competing interests. For individuals with a criminal record the hope is to pursue employment, housing and other major life activities without the stigma of an arrest or conviction record. On the other hand, the state and society generally have an interest in maintaining criminal histories for purposes of future investigations and in order to make hiring, rental, and other decisions about individuals.
In reviewing a petition for expungement, the court will consider the following factors:
1. The nature and severity of the underlying crime;
2. The risk the petitioner poses to the public;
3. The length of time since the crime;
4. What rehabilitation steps the petitioner has taken, if any, since the crime;
5. Whether there are any aggravating or mitigating factors of the underlying crime, such as the petitioner's level of participation, the context, and surrounding circumstances;
6. The reasons the petitioner needs an expungement, including attempts to obtain employment, housing, or other necessities;
7. The petitioner's entire criminal history;
8. The petitioner's employment record and community involvement;
9. Any recommendations from the state and its agencies;
10. Any victim input;
11. Whether there is any outstanding restitution and what efforts the petitioner has made to pay it in full; and
12. Other relevant factors.
Certain factors are worth more attention than others. For example, to increase the likelihood of success it is imperative that the petitioner explain and validate the detriment that the criminal record is having on their ability to obtain employment, housing, schooling, and the like.
While the new expungement law makes it easier for individuals to get a second chance, the process for getting an expungement is complex and can be confusing if you try to do it on your own. The expungement process will take at least four months to complete, and likely longer. The petitioner is required to gather information, draft and file a petition with the court, set a hearing date, notify relevant state agencies of the hearing and petition, and participate in an expungement hearing to make their case and respond to any objections made by state agencies.
The assistance of an attorney can be critical to your success. Call Anderson Larson to meet with an attorney who has dealt with the new expungement law and can help you strategize and navigate through Minnesota's nuanced expungement law.

Sunday was heaven for a thwarted cricket ambition such as mine.
The Aham-udai-yaaL (Tamizh for owner-ess of the home) was away for the afternoon, the children were nominally in my care, but in reality were happily engaged in activities involving mud and water in the backyard, and I had a choice of two cricket games involving India on the widescreen.
India v Australia at the SCG on Channel 9.
India v England at the Kinrara Oval in the U19 World Cup on Foxtel.
And I kept flicking between both, with extended sojourns at Kinrara particularly when Ponting was brutalising the attack.
The Indian U19 lot are top dogs in this tournament. Dav Whatmore's charges are an aware lot. In addition to having all the skills (fielding in particular) a lot of them move with the mien of future stars and have the hairstyles to prove it.
Some names to watch for.
Shrivats Goswami.
Packed as the side is with spinners, watching him keep to them is particularly pleasing. Light on his feet, he rises with the release and moves in early anticipation. (Parthiv, are you paying attention?) Therefore, he is in position early for leg side takes.
And athletic too. This episode is from the previous game v WI. Mid on (Srivastava?) threw into the gloves. It was a spectacular dive-surface and release effort, so a degree of waywardness was forgivable.
What stood out was Goswami's acrobatic dive outwards, his collection and rapid underarm release-while airborne AND blindsided-to hit the stumps.
Virat Kohli
His century against the WI was urgent and a captain's knock that I think put the match out of WI's grasp. Unless he's been coached, he seems to have mastered the soundbite as well. His post match interviews are crisp and to the point.
George Binoy writes that at the previous edition, Indian media interest swelled as India progressed, and he expects the same this time around.
Given the quality of the cricket on display I'd suggest that we, the great unwashed, tune in as well.

Raqqa's underground caliphate
Issued on: Modified:
Audio 04:21
In October of last year the rebel Syrian Democratic Forces with support of the US led coalition entered Raqqa, the former capital of the Islamic State armed group.
Civilians returning home not only found their property marked and vandalised but also underground tunnels.
The vast underground complex was not only built to provide cover from coalition aerial bombardment; it housed bunkers, storage facilities and escape routes for Islamic State fighters.
In this fourth part in a series of 5, Filip Warwick reports from Raqqa.

GRRLS Meat Camp was created in 2011 "to inspire, instruct and initiate a sisterhood of farmers, butchers, cooks, and teachers giving voice to women working with food animals and meat."
The grid was used to make sense out of all of the elements that needed to be incorporated into the design. Since the event was taking place in the Fall, a more rustic color palette of orange, brick red, robin's egg blue and chocolate brown was used.

Save your pop top cans! These cute little treat cans were found here with a great tutorial here. Don't pop the top on your grocery cans. Instead, use a can opener to open the BOTTOM of the can and empty the contents and clean out the inside (make sure the bottom of the can is flat and not rounded so that you can actually open it with a can opener). Then, fill it with a treat and glue the bottom back on with hot glue or E6000. The lucky recipient gets to pop the top to find your special treat. Totally cool!

Combined Mechanical Industries
Originally founded 14 years ago, Combined Mechanical Industries LLC (CMI) provides mechanical contracting services including piping, stainless steel welding, HVAC construction, and kitchen and refrigeration services to commercial facilities in the Chicago area. One of CMI's primary customers is Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. CMI often bids on much of the work put out by the university and handles several different maintenance projects for Northwestern on a regular basis.
The Problem
One of the university's most critical repeat projects, a Labor Day campus utility shutdown, is put out to bid every year. This shutdown allows for maintenance to be performed on utility systems across the campus. However, several research buildings on campus require constant provisions of utilities. A total of approximately 11 MMBTU of low pressure steam is necessary to serve these buildings, so a powerful, temporary boiler solution was required.
The Solution
Northwestern put out the specifications for a containerized, fully complete portable boiler room and indicated Powerhouse as a preferred vendor for the job. While there were several other vendors available to the mechanical contractors bidding on the job, CMI decided to go with Powerhouse based on their previous successful projects. The previous two shutdowns in 2015 and 2016 did not utilize a Powerhouse unit, and this year the university decided to go back to the company that had served them well in years previous.
The Results
The RH-350 Portable Boiler Room the Powerhouse was able to provide for the job met all of the requirements for CMI Mechanical's shutdown at Northwestern. Mark Nelson, the Vice President of CMI, mentioned that "[Powerhouse] was very attentive to our requests and was very professional and easy to deal with. The only issue that came up was the natural gas regulator, and [they] resolved the problem immediately. The startup/service technician was very professional." In regards to the quality of Powerhouse's equipment, Mark had this to say, "The boiler performed perfectly...as in past years, it was a pleasure dealing with Powerhouse."

Citrix Analytics services, much need insight in behaviour of users and applications
Citrix announced new functionality at Synergy in Orlando. It will provide analytics and with that security. Citrix has announced that it will be available by fall 2017. I thought it might be interesting to shed a little light on this. There is not that much information available but the idea is clear. Let's take a look at why this might be interesting and how they are possibly going to do this.
Citrix Analytics
As mentioned already, there is little information to work with. The documentation around it shows a few bullet points only. What we do know is that Citrix is working hard to get more grip on the Citrix sessions. If we look at last year, we saw that Citrix merged NetScaler Insight center and Command center into NetScaler Management Analytics system (MAS). This move was part one of the announcement you heard at Citrix Synergy. Citrix NetScaler is becoming more and more the central analytics and security management component of Citrix.
In the past Citrix had the weakness many vendors have, they had several consoles each for a functionality. With merging the NetScaler functionality into one console they are moving into the right direction. From what I make of the news at Synergy is that NetScaler MAS will be enhanced with this functionality. One console from where you have a deep insight in the Citrix session, user and application behaviour.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Capital University Women's Track and Field closed out day one of the 2018 OAC Indoor Championships with an eighth-place finish out of nine teams. They will return for a big day of action tomorrow morning after multiple Crusaders qualified for Saturday action.
Taylor Manivanh (Grove City, Ohio/Central Crossing) served as the first women's point-getter of the meet after she placed fifth in the long jump behind a leap of 5.39 meters (17-8 ¼). Her placement scored Capital four points toward the team's standings.
Kassie Lee (Piqua, Ohio/Lehman Catholic) shared eighth place in the weight throw after putting forth a personal best in the event. Her farthest toss measured in at 13.75 meters (45-1 ½), and scored Cap one-half of a point with the tie.
Manivanh qualified for the 60-meter dash final after crossing the line in eight seconds flat, good for sixth in her preliminary race.
Niamani Mayes (Cincinnati, Ohio/Walnut Hills) served as Cap's top finisher in the 60-meter hurdles prelim race. She timed out at 9.63 seconds for fifth place, solidifying her spot in Saturday's finals.
In the 500-meter dash, senior Hunter Mouser (London, Ohio/London) placed fifth with a time of 59.95 seconds to qualify for tomorrow's finals.
Three more points came from Capital's distance medley relay team of Larkin Joseph (New Philadelphia, Ohio/New Philadelphia), Olivia Quinter (Fort Loramie, Ohio/For Loramie), Alaina Miller (Baltimore, Ohio/Liberty Union Thurston) and Mackenzie Meyers (Ashville, Ohio/Teays Valley). Together, the foursome placed sixth with a time of 13:15.12.
Action will resume at The Capital Center on Saturday morning with field events commencing at 10 a.m. The first events will be the men's triple jump, women's shot put and women's high jump. Running events will begin at 2 p.m.

But if you do have some control over the acquisition and/or processing parameters, then there are some useful hints here. This brings us on to the next challenge for the section – hardware (and software) differences. You may operate a Bruker, Varian, Jeol or even another make of NMR spectrometer and each of these will have their own language to describe key parameters. We will attempt to be 'vendor neutral' in our discussions and hopefully you will be able to translate to your own instrument's language.
4. They are applicable to compounds in the common NMR solvents – but not in D6 -benzene (or D5 pyridine). The substituent effects are additive, but don't place too much reliance on chemical shifts predicted using the table, in compounds where more than two groups are substituted next to each other, as steric interactions between them can cause large deviations from expected values. 4, like all others, does not cater for solvent shifts, etc! A number of features become apparent on running an eye over these figures.
We call this the 'flip angle'. A 90◦ flip angle gives rise to the maximum signal (you can picture it as the projection on the x–y plane, where z is the direction of the magnetic field. 2. The other consequence of the pulse width is the spread of frequencies generated. The shorter the pulse, the wider will be the spread of frequencies. Because we often want to excite a wide range of frequencies, we need very short pulses (normally in the order of a few microseconds). 3). At first sight, this may appear to be a lousy function to excite evenly all the frequencies in a spectrum but because we use such a short pulse, we only use the bit of the function around x = 0.

Downing, a property firm based in Liverpool, has confirmed development plans for two new student housing blocks in Cambridge and London. The developments, which together are worth £90 million, will provide accommodation for 770 students studying in these cities. These new plans are the latest stage in the strategy by Downing to invest in the acquisition of sites in cities with high student populations, paying particular attention to the most prestigious further education centres.
The London development will be situated in Acton, in West London, and will be an 80,000 sq ft project comprising two towers with seven storeys each, making up 184 studio flats. The development will also incorporate retail sites on the ground floors of each block, a biodiversity park and a pocket park, and will provide convenient access to the tube station in North Acton. The larger Cambridge development will comprise three blocks, made up of a mix of studio and cluster flats, housing a total of 586 of the city's students. This project also includes non-student flats, retail space, bars and restaurants as part of the wider scheme.
The development director for Downing, Paul Houghton, said:
"These acquisitions mark a significant milestone in our strategy to bring the Downing brand of superior, sustainable and energy-efficient buildings to the UK's major student centres."
The development in Acton which is being built by George Downing Construction – the in-house building division for Downing – is expected to be completed by September 2013, with work beginning on the Cambridge development sometime next year.

We recently chatted with Christopher Rios, CX Practice Leader at Blue Rock Search which is an executive search firm based in Sarasota, FL. We learned about the importance of customer experience (CX) in the executive search industry and how he leverages CX to differentiate their practice, build customer loyalty, and drive business growth.
In this interview, Christopher Rios candidly answers many of our questions and discusses several topics around his early career and current role as a CX Practice Leader, including:
- What it means to be a CX Practice Leader
- Parallels between his previous career as an Executive Chef and current role
- Main takeaway from the 2018 CXPA Insight Exchange
- Biggest CX challenge in the executive search industry
- Successes from focusing on the client and candidate experience
- The importance of Voice of the Employee (VoE)
Can you tell us about your role as CX Practice Leader?
As CX Practice Leader at Blue Rock Search, I specialize in the recruitment of c-suite customer experience executives. My goals are threefold:
Develop a CX platform
I want to ensure that my clients and candidates have an amazing experience. This requires a more deliberate and proactive engagement by knowing what they're looking for and then creating that experience. I want clients and candidates to leave my company going, "By God, that was the best experience ever."
Be the recruiting firm of choice for CX practitioners
Whether the role focuses on analytics or voice of the customer programs, I want to be the recruiting firm of choice that knows and understands what CX is, meaning I speak the language, I'm putting it into practice, and am the subject-matter expert.
Change the perception of the recruiting industry
This one is loftier. In a conversation I had with CX expert Jeanne Bliss, she said, "Back when I was being recruited 20 plus years ago…" Jeanne noticed that there hadn't been a change in the recruiting industry from then to now. There hasn't been a focus on customer experience.
That's what I'm trying to accomplish. I want to change the way people perceive recruiting and search agencies for both candidates and clients.
As an executive chef for 15 years before joining the recruiting industry, can you draw any parallels between your experience in the restaurant industry and your current focus at Blue Rock Search?
Yes, absolutely. Back when I was an executive chef and restaurant owner, my purpose was always to ensure that our patrons had an amazing experience. When I designed menus, there was careful thought and specific reasons for each selection from food to wine pairings. Our goal was to elevate the experience for our guests, so they would tell other people and they would return.
We wanted guests to become loyal customers, and so we had to not only focus on the menu but on creating a great service experience from the moment a guest walks in the door. How does the host or hostess greet you, what do they do next?
The main parallel I draw from being a chef and a CX executive search leader is learning to be proactive.
Rather than wait for a customer to have a bad experience and reacting, great customer experience is designed by creating a specific delivery of service to create a particular way that customers engage with you. It is about diligence around the kind of experience you hope they will receive and what they end up having with you.
We're glad you mentioned the importance of being proactive. At Intouch Insight, that's exactly the way we feel too.

On this page you will find information about our Preschool, Kindergarten, and Mixed-Age Classrooms.
The Montessori Educational Method is probably the world's first brain-based educational method – believed by many to be the best. The method is hands-on learning at its best, allowing the child to develop self-expression, collaboration, and responsibility in a classroom that promotes happiness, respect, and joy of learning. Long before we could look at the brain with MRIs, Dr. Montessori developed an educational method to help a child's brain develop. Dr. Montessori's method has been time tested, with more than 100 years of success around the world.
Montessori School at Goose Creek Preserve serves children from ages 2½ to 6. Our teachers guide students through lessons and activities that both tease the child's curiosity and are tailored to the skill level of each individual child, providing an environment that recognizes and encourages a sense of independence.
Preschool Years (ages 2½ to 4)
At Montessori School at Goose Creek Preserve, the Half Day Preschool Program hours are 8:45 a.m. to noon. Extended Day hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Montessori Full Day Program hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Full Day Program includes a lunch period, a rest period, and additional play time on the playground and in the classrooms.
Two-, 3- and 4-year old children have absorbent minds that soak up knowledge like a sponge. The Montessori method includes the use of sensorial materials such as the Pink Tower to give the child a concrete impression of "big" and "small," and the Red Rods to provide a concrete impression of "long" and "short." These impressions serve as the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Please fill out this form to schedule a tour of our Preschool.
The Kindergarten Year (ages 5 to 6)
Beginning in the 2019 school year, Montessori School at Goose Creek Preserve will offer a Kindergarten Program for children who have completed our Preschool Program and who turn 5 years old before September 30th. Children enrolled Half Day stay for lunch and an additional work period in the afternoon. Children enrolled Full Day have an additional work period in the afternoon instead of a rest period.
The 5-6-year-old period is the transition year between the absorbent mind and the rational mind. Our Montessori Kindergarten Program builds on the foundation of learning achieved in the first 2 or 3 years in the Montessori environment. It not only allows the child to serve as a role model to the younger students, it also allows him to remain with teachers and students he already knows in a safe and supportive classroom.
Please fill out this form to schedule a tour of our Kindergarten.
Mixed-age Classrooms (ages 2½ to 6)
By integrating our preschoolers and kindergartners into single classrooms, Montessori School at Goose Creek provides the opportunity for the older children to help the younger ones. They can be leaders and reinforce their own learning and knowledge by working with the younger children. In this environment, learning is pleasurable for both the kindergartners and their younger classmates. Reading to an audience of adoring 3- and -4-year olds is much more enjoyable than the traditional classroom method of having each child take a turn reading a sentence until the paragraph or story is complete. Interaction between mixed-aged children allows the kindergarteners to practice responsibility, to be leaders, and to teach and help others.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – The hunt for a man who police say drove off with a state police cruiser resumed Friday as officials continue to investigate the deadly officer-involved shooting that stemmed from it.
Police are asking for the public's help as they work to track down Donald Morgan.
Morgan, 35, was arrested Wednesday on charges of possession of a stolen motor vehicle and obstruction. On Thursday, he was being transported to court by a state police trooper when, at about 9 a.m., the trooper pulled over his cruiser to assist with a crash on Route 146.
That's when police say Morgan climbed into the front seat and drove off in the marked cruiser.
Police began a widespread search for Morgan, eventually finding the cruiser abandoned on Vineyard Street in Providence. The firearm that was inside the vehicle was still there but Morgan was nowhere to be found.
According to Cranston police, state police put out a broadcast saying that Morgan may have jumped in the back of a white pickup truck. An officer spotted such a vehicle in the Silver Lake section of Providence and pulled it over, but police said the driver sped off after the officer approached the vehicle.
A police chase ensued, which resulted in a violent confrontation on an I-95 North on-ramp by the Providence Place mall. The responding officers opened fire on the truck, killing the male driver and leaving his female passenger with serious injuries, though police said she's expected to survive. Neither person has been identified.
Juan Carlos Ardaya, an eyewitness, said moments before the shooting, the driver refused to exit the truck for police and then drove the vehicle into a cruiser.
"When he ignored him the officer said, 'get out, open the door.' The officer got in front, drew his weapon and pointed," Ardaya recalled.
Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Paré on Thursday said the cruiser theft and the shooting are being investigated as two separate incidents.
"One has nothing to do with the other," Paré said. "There was the theft of the trooper car, there was this chase by the police officers and then deadly force was used."
Some of the officers who were on scene during the shooting were wearing body cameras, according to Paré, and that footage is now being reviewed. Police later confirmed there were no weapons found in the pickup truck.
Paré said at least nine officers fired their weapons during the confrontation downtown and each one has been placed on administrative leave, per department protocol. Prosecutors from the attorney general's office also responded to the scene as they'll be taking part in the shooting investigation.
Court records obtained by Eyewitness News show Morgan has a lengthy criminal record, having had numerous encounters with police dating back to 2002.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Rhode Island State Police at (401) 444-1000, then press #8 to get past the prompts and directly to a live person.

Rookie tight ends are notoriously hard to project because so much goes into the position. Players have to be able to show NFL-level blocking and receiving abilities if they want to see the field early.
While some succeed early, others take far longer. Last year was one of the most highly-rated tight end classes in recent draft history, yet only Evan Engram managed to stay fantasy-relevant throughout the season, mostly out of necessity.
That said, there is always the exception and some prodigious pass-catching tight ends could make a splash early on, based on landing spot. Here's a look at the top rookie tight ends, after the NFL Draft.Editor's Note: Get any rest-of-season NFL Premium Pass for 50% off.

Fantasy Production from a Rookie TE?
Before we tackle this year's crop of tight end talent, let's look back at how the first three tight ends picked have fared their rookie season over the past five years (in standard scoring):
|O.J Howard
|Evan Engram
|David Njoku
|Hunter Henry
|Austin Hooper
|Nick Vannett
|Maxx Williams
|Clive Walford
|Tyler Kroft
|Eric Ebron
|Austin Seferian-Jenkins
|Jace Amaro
|Tyler Eifert
|Zach Ertz
|Gavin Escobar
(By the way, that 2013 tight end class? Travis Kelce was the fifth tight end taken and Jordan Reed was the sixth. THE DRAFT IS BASICALLY JUST A GIANT LOTTERY.)
Henry jumps into the top 10 in PPR in 2016, but still that track record isn't great. Only two of the 15 players on this list had point totals that suggested they were worth starting on a weekly basis. That's not what you want to see if you're on the clock in re-draft and all the top tight ends are off the board and you're really intrigued by one of this season's rookies.
But look at those stats again: the two best seasons came in the last two years, and the 2017 class actually had some productive rookies at the position. Njoku wasn't consistent, but he flashed his talent, and O.J. Howard may have had a chance at finishing in the top 10 if he didn't share snaps with Cameron Brate.
So, let's look at this year's rookie tight end class. Who has a chance to perform in re-draft and, maybe more importantly based on the volatility of the position, who's a good value in dynasty leagues.
(Note: I've left off two players that I like -- Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews -- because they were drafted by the same team. I'm not ready to make any predictions about the tight end situation in Baltimore except to say that two rookie tight ends on the same team feels like a bad move in the short term, but it could pay off great down the line, especially with a new quarterback in Lamar Jackson.)
Rookie Tight Ends to Watch in Redraft
Mike Gesicki, Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins needed a tight end and they got a potentially good one in Mike Gesicki, who projects to be a good pass catching tight end at the NFL level. With Jarvis Landry and his NFL-leading 112 catches leaving town as well as the departure of Julius Thomas and his 41 receptions, there's a place for Gesicki to see a good number of targets.
The Dolphins did already add Danny Amendola and Albert Wilson to fill that slot role that Landry leaves, but there's still room for Gesicki to make waves, especially down near the red zone. Gesicki has 14 touchdowns over the last two seasons. He's 6'6''. He's going to get a decent amount of chances down around the goal line to make plays for Miami and his track record at Penn State suggests he should be able to take advantage of that.
Take a look at some of Gesicki's college highlights. He's a huge mismatch down near the goal line and has good enough hands to make tough catches. He can score on the shovel pass like a young Travis Kelce. He's going to cause a lot of issues for defenses over his career. Will he be able to do all this as a rookie? Maybe not, especially if he struggles early as a blocker. But at the very least, the upside and opportunity are there in Miami.
Jordan Akins, Houston Texans
The Texans haven't had a consistent tight end since Owen Daniels left town, struggling through a series of inconsistent players at the position like C.J. Fiedorowicz, Ryan Griffin, and Stephen Anderson, who all took snaps at the position during the 2017 season. With Fiedorowicz entering an early retirement due to concussion issues, either Anderson or Griffin were expected to step into the starting role for this upcoming season. Houston fans can't love that possibility: Griffin's 2016 season was fine, when he grabbed 50 catches for 442 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and Anderson's 2017 season showed promising as well, with 25 catches for 342 yards and a touchdown, but neither player has the kind of upside that Texans fans and fantasy players want.
Enter Jordan Akins, the Central Florida tight end who caught 32 balls for 515 yards and four touchdowns last season. He's on the older side already, but he's a potentially dynamic player at the tight end position. According to NFL.com's Lance Zierlein, 43.7 percent of Akins's catches last season went for 20 yards or more. He has big play potential on an offense that showed in 2017 that it can make big plays. Deshaun Watson needed a weapon at the tight end position in order to keep the Texans offense running smoothly and to avoid regression in his second season; Akins can be a guy who gives Houston that. If he can surpass Griffin and Anderson during the preseason, he could be worth a late pick in deeper re-draft leagues.
Dalton Schultz, Dallas Cowboys
This pick wouldn't mean much, except Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, a mainstay with the franchise, is rumored to be considering retirement (and by considering, I mean that it sounds like almost a done deal that Witten will leave the Cowboys and join the Monday Night Football broadcasting team.) The Witten news broke after the first round, so the team wasn't able to invest a first round pick in the position, and then the Eagles traded right in front of Dallas to take tight end Dallas Goedert. The Cowboys eventually took Schultz with the last pick in the fourth round.
So, what can he bring to the Cowboys? Let's start by looking at who he'll be competing with for playing time: Rico Gathers, Geoff Swain, and Blake Jarwin. YIKES. Witten's decision to retire after the bulk of free agency was over also means that Dallas can't grab any of the top tier free agents to replace Witten. What's left out on the market? Antonio Gates is declining and likely puts up in exact same situation a year from now. Julius Thomas was released by the Dolphins, but I don't see him as an answer. Schultz, despite being a late fourth rounder, will have a chance to win the starting role. Even if Rico Gathers beats him out, he'll get a chance to see the field on a Witten-less (and Dez Bryant-less) offense.
What can Schultz do? He's a good blocker and has good hands, though he isn't going t0 be the big play receiver that other tight ends from this class can be. But good blocking and reliable hands and good route running? There's a role for a player like that on the Cowboys, a team that was at its best last year while running the ball with Ezekiel Elliott. Schultz can't be expected to step in and be prime Jason Witten, but we could see something resembling late-stage Witten -- his 2016 season in which he had 673 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Dak Prescott's first season at quarterback. Schultz likely isn't worth a pick in re-draft right off the bat unless you play in an extremely deep league, but he's worth monitoring over the course of the preseason to see how his role develops. He doesn't have anyone ahead of him on the Cowboys depth chart that's unassailable right now.

Brighter Champions Cup hopes than last year for provinces
Irish quartet all in reckoning, with Munster and Leinster each in control of own destinies

Irish prospects entering the penultimate round of pool matches in the European Champions Cup are altogether rosier than they were at this juncture last season. Optimism has replaced pessimism.
Then, Ulster were the only hope, and a slightly forlorn one at that. Now they are the most forlorn hope of the Irish quartet, with Leinster and Munster each in control of their own destinies and even Connacht are likely to keep their challenge for an historic quarter-final alive until the final game of the pool stages away to Toulouse on Sunday week.
As with holders Saracens and freescoring Clermont, Leinster and Munster can both secure quarter-final places after missing out last season with a game to spare this weekend. They would then each be in a position to secure a home quarter-final by winning their final games.
All that said and done, Saracens look best placed to do so, away to Scarlets, whereas Leinster face a physically huge Montpellier team, who will be drinking at the last chance saloon at the RDS on Friday night, while Munster are away to their nearest challengers, Glasgow, on their synthetic Scotstoun pitch on Saturday evening. Even Clermont will have their hands full away to Bordeaux on Sunday lunchtime.
In the same Pool Five, later that day, Ulster face the point of no return away to Exeter Chiefs, where they have to win to retain any hopes of reaching the quarter-final, and then back that up with a win at home to Bordeaux at lunchtime on Saturday week.
Connacht require a bonus point win at home to Zebre on Saturday and then, depending on the outcome between Wasps and Toulouse, also on Saturday, a bonus point defeat away to the four-time French champions in Sunday week's finale.
Pool by Pool update
Pool One
The permutations for Munster are quite straightforward. Beat Glasgow at Scotstoun on Saturday and they will secure their place in the knockout stage for the first time in three years, and 16th time in 22 attempts.
Even a bonus point defeat, provided they denied Glasgow one, would leave them top on the head-to-head meetings, and mean a bonus point win over Racing would seal first place, though that would run the risk of an away quarter-final. Two more wins would guarantee a quarter-final at Thomond Park.
Glasgow must beat Munster and deny them a bonus point, and follow that up with a five-pointer away to Leicester to secure top spot. Leicester are mathematically still there, but need two wins and probably a bonus point or two.
Pool Two
At the very least injury-ravaged Connacht need a five-point haul at home to Zebre to remain in the hunt for qualification. A Wasps win, while denying Toulouse a bonus point, would be their preferable outcome from Coventry later the same day.
Then, a bonus point defeat in Toulouse – when helped by being the last pool to complete its games – on Sunday week would ensure second place and, in all probability, secure a first ever quarter-final.
However, come that finale, at the very least Toulouse will still be in contention, whether they need a win or a five-point haul against Connacht to eclipse Pat Lam's team in second place.
Pool Three
If Saracens, the reigning champions, win away to Scarlets on Sunday, they will set a new tournament record of 14 consecutive wins, usurping Munster run of 13 victories between 2005 and 2007, and also guarantee first place in this pool and with it a place in the quarter-finals for the sixth season in a row. Were they to follow that up with a win at home to Toulon on Saturday week, Mark McCall's team would be assured of a home quarter-final.
In fact, one win and two points would ensure that much.
Toulon, their three-in-a-row predecessors as champions, need five points at home to Sale on Sunday and then, almost certainly, another win away to Saracens to have a realistic chance of securing a quarter-final place as one of the best runners-up.
Pool Four
If Leinster beat Montpellier at the RDS on Saturday, they will top this group and thereby become the first team to secure a place in the knockout stage, and for the 13th time in their history. Were they to follow that up with a win away to Castres on Friday week, they would also be assured of a home quarter-final. Failure to do so could see them consigned to an away quarter-final if the other four pool leaders each win their remaining two games, so either way it would probably be no harm if Castres slipped up in Northampton on Saturday.
Both Montpellier and Castres are fighting to stay afloat this weekend, as, realistically, the minimum requirement for each to have a hope of progressing as one of the best runners-up is two wins.
Pool Five
If Clermont Auvergne beat Bordeaux-Bègles at Stade Chaban-Delmas on Sunday, they will be guaranteed a quarter-final spot for the fifth time in the past six seasons. But that will be difficult, as Ian Madigan's team are the best supported in the Top 14, have a good home record and must win to stay afloat in what will be one of the games of the weekend.
A Clermont win would probably best suit Ulster, who are also in must-win territory against improving Exeter at Sandy Road in the Sunday evening game. Were they to also beat Bordeaux on Saturday week, when disadvantaged by having the lunchtime kick-off, they could progress, although they may also need a bonus point or two before sweating on the remaining results.
