I am a Palestinian refugee to Lebanon. Until last week, my travel document—a large, hardback booklet that appears to be from the 70s—was in Arabic and French. In it, my personal details were handwritten. It was always greeted with a bemused face; an attempt, in poor French, to read the details; a statement of "I've never seen one of these before", followed by, "sorry, I'm just going to have to check this". Only once did I meet an elderly man with clearly a bit of experience who said, "Ah, I've seen just three of these before".
These situations are particularly bemusing at airports. After all, by the time I show up to travel I would already have gone through the intense scrutiny of a visa application process; my latest Schengen visa to Spain took seven weeks from the date of application to come through. (It came the day before I travelled.) What is it about my travel document that provokes these responses? Why should the airport authorities distrust their colleagues' ability to check my background?
The thought that always enters my mind when this happens is that I am immensely privileged. I had a good education at a private school in Kuwait. I have a car. I've just finished my third year of medical school at Lancaster University, where I'm one of two international students in my year. My tuition fees are nearly £30,000 a year and, although I'm ineligible for loans, scholarships or grants, I'm fortunate to have a father who can afford to pay my tuition.
But this privilege disappears when I enter an airport. I've had my travel document taken away from the customs officer by a man in a suit, who interrogated me about what I was doing in the UK, while those holding EU/EEA passports waltzed through the electronic gates without worry. When I land in Spain, I watch drunken groups of bachelors walk through passport control, while I am held up. My travel document doesn't fit in the passport scanner. It's printed on the wrong paper. The customs officer can't read it.
There is a disconnect between what people think of when they say "refugee" and what the reality for some refugees is. You know how the stereotype goes: lazy, sexist, racist and dangerous—here to steal your jobs and claim your benefits. But the reality is more prosaic: we are a group of people stuck in limbo, surrounded by invisible walls that restrict what we do and who we can become.
This is particularly true of Palestinian refugees, who hold the dubious honour of being one of two refugee groups (the other being the Sahrawi) who inherit their refugee status from their fathers. I could not inherit Lebanese citizenship from my mother, as many Middle Eastern citizenships can only be inherited from the father. Despite being born in Kuwait, local legal restrictions prevent me from becoming a Kuwaiti citizen. There are generations of people like me, who are "stuck" with refugee status and, like my family, become well-off financially, but poor legally.
Indeed, people I knew in the UK were outraged when they discovered how long my Spanish visa application was taking and wanted to know where they could complain. There is, of course, nowhere they can complain. The number given online for the application centre doesn't work. The emails are outsourced to a company, whose representatives only speak basic English. The customer satisfaction survey sent after my visa was issued didn't work.
People abroad have their embassies to help them. Who helps the stateless?
Most countries prioritise their own citizens for university places. Many do not accept foreign students at all, other than in rare circumstances. Others, like the UK, restrict places for foreign applicants. In UK medical schools, the percentage of students that can come from outside of the UK or EU is capped at 7.5%. In bigger medical schools, this translates into about 20 places. At Lancaster Medical School, it was just four places per year, and I was part of the first cohort of international students there since the school decoupled from Liverpool.
My application process was a nightmare. I couldn't gain medical work experience in Kuwait. The country's strict privacy laws mean that it is illegal for those not qualified as medical professionals to observe hospital patients. Some of my friends ignored these laws with the help of doctors who snuck them into private clinics. But none of the doctors I knew would allow it. So, I had to convince the notoriously discerning admissions teams that I truly wanted to do medicine, despite not having any experience. I was up against candidates with months and even years of relevant experience.
In fact, I was rejected and took up a place at UCL doing Applied Medical Studies instead. But, on the final day of UCL fresher's week, and on my birthday, I received an email from Lancaster University saying that a spot had just freed up and that I was on the waiting list. I replied immediately and transferred, but not before having to fly to Glasgow to change my visa.
The question "Where are you from?" is simple for many to answer. Manchester, Liverpool, Lancaster, East London, Athens. Some are born in one city and then move somewhere else, but they, too, can give a concrete answer and often have a strong sense of belonging.
For me, the answer is more complicated. I am a Palestinian refugee to Lebanon, but I was born and grew up in Kuwait. I've never been to Palestine—Israel makes that more than a bit difficult—and I have no right to vote anywhere.
Kuwait, I typically explain, felt like "home" while I was growing up, simply because that's where I spent most of my time and most of the people I knew were there. But Kuwait was no more a home than anywhere else I could have been resident. There is no permanency to this home. Unlike English expatriates who can return to the UK if they so wish, the only place to which I could return is Lebanon.
That is problematic for me as a Palestinian. Lebanon operates a law of reciprocal rights: if a Lebanese citizen can work in a country in a specific job, then a citizen of that country can work in Lebanon in the same job. But Lebanon doesn't fully recognise Palestine as a country, and so Palestinians in Lebanon struggle to find work and are often forced to live in poorly-run refugee camps and are restricted from pursuing an education. My situation was precarious: if my father had lost his job in Kuwait, my residency would have been invalidated and I would have had to move to Lebanon. I would have lost the privilege of a good education, which brought me where I am now.
I yearn for the stability that citizens of many countries, such as the UK, enjoy. Despite the cliché that immigrants and refugees steal jobs and claim benefits, the idea that one can be out of work, earn benefits and be given a home is a fantasy to me, and most people like me. When people complain about paying £9,000 a year in tuition fees, often with government loans, my thoughts are with my father, who works seven days a week to support me through my degree, support my sister through her PhD, pay rent for multiple houses and help educate my other sister's children. He continues to fear for losing his job; my father is currently unable to visit my terminally-ill uncle because of this. What I would give to be fully independent, even if that meant becoming indebted to the government.
The mother of one of the students in my year recently applied for a British passport. She had never travelled before and was planning to go to New Zealand for a wedding. After she filled in her application, she was invited for an interview, which does not typically happen unless there is reason for suspicion. They asked her if she had any children (she has three) and whether her daughter had a foreign colleague—an obvious reference to me (I was in some of her photos at the time). They then asked if I had tried to convince her to travel back to my country. The insinuation, it seemed, was that I was trying to radicalize her.
I suspect that the government went through some lengths to connect me to this woman. At that point, we weren't friends on Facebook, but I wonder whether the government didn't stalk my page, discovering where I'm from and jumping immediately to the conclusion that I present a threat.
Even the suspicion that you are under state surveillance is jarring. But what troubles me more is that the government chose to inconvenience someone instead of speaking to my medical school or approaching me directly. I should have a right not to live in the knowledge that simply associating with me makes you a target for the government when I have never done anything wrong besides being born in the "wrong" country.
All this, it seems, because of a piece of paper.

About Michelle
Hi! My name is Michelle! I have been a personal trainer for more than six years and have trained an array of clientele, from athletes to weight loss and injured clients. I do not really specialize in any one aspect of training because I believe my own weight loss and athletic journey has equipped me with enough knowledge to help a variety of people! I do, however, believe that nutrition is key and that having fun while exercising is the key to weight loss success and a healthy life! I also believe that balancing your fitness life with your social life is extremely important and that you CAN have your cake and eat it too! And get those abs you seriously want!
Training Experience: 6 years
Client Success Story
While training in Mississippi, I had a client that I trained for two years. She was in her sixties and had preexisting injuries in her shoulder and knees. When I met her, she could not squat or lunge and the range of motion in her shoulder was terrible. It took some time but after two years she could perform all leg movements (except leg extensions) and she strengthened her shoulders and regained full range of motion. I have helped many people lose weight and gain weight, but helping someone restore function so she can play with her grandkids has truly been one of the best parts of my career!

- Near Crikvenica (Kvarner Bay)
The wonderful dream villa "Tribalj" holds its magic in the detail. Positioned perfectly on a hill, it is located in the village which shares its name with the Kvarner Bay region and offers a fabulous panoramic view. From the top of the hill, you will witness a charming view of the Vinodol Valley, Lake Tribalj and the Prince Frankopan Tower. The capital of the Kvarner Gulf, Rijeka, is 29 km from the village. The airport is only 20 km away. From the villa, the exciting coastal landscape around the Kvarner Bay is easily accessible by car. The beautiful beach of Crikvenica is only 8 km from the villa.
This beautiful villa "Tribalj" will enchant its visitors and guests. Everything about this house is harmonious, it is so pretty and at the same time modern and stylish. There is so much to discover here and we have to confess that on our first visit raised comments such as "Oh no, how beautiful" and "Look, how pretty is this" and "What a view" were easy and understandable comments to make. The villa was outstanding.
This beautiful villa is situated on a hill and is surrounded by a small stone wall. Standing in front of the double mint coloured gate, you feel a sense that there is something special inside. Upon entering through the gates the private property overlooks a terraced landscape, paved with natural stone, this is located in front of the house and in the centre sits the swimming pool surrounded by sunbeds and umbrellas, which promises relaxing moments. The colour mint is found on the wooden lattice windows and the wooden shutters. The natural stone area also provides seating areas. At the side of the house there is a covered terrace with an outdoor dining area. The stone-built barbecue with oven promises a wonderful relaxing barbecue, perhaps with a glass of Zlahtina, the dry white wine from the island of Krk (one of the numerous islands belonging to the Kvarner region). Meanwhile children can discover the fun and enjoyment provided on the children's playground.
The interior decor of the villa is inviting and delivers a satisfying first impression which is built on from the moment you enter the property. On the ground floor you will find comfortable communal areas which include a large living room with open fireplace and comfortable seating areas. At the open fireplace there is a small bench where you can sit and absorb the comfort that radiates the house with wooden floors showing its naturalness and the pretty decorative items. For entertainment there is a TV, a video library and a small business corner with library. The living area is bordered by the open dining area with a long white table and 8 matching chairs in modern baroque style. If on cooler days you do not like to take your meals outside, this is a perfectly beautiful place. The kitchen enjoys a unique individuality. We find it very charming non-standard built-in kitchen, with a brick body. The cabinets are decorated with vanilla-coloured fronts in the country house style. The tiles in matching sandstones refine the colour scheme and also match the visible wooden ceiling beams and simple wide wooden planks, which serve as a storage area. As in the whole house, there is a wooden floor, which not only underlines the modern rustic character of the house, but also delivers a pleasant feeling of well-being. You do not have to do without the usual home comforts as the kitchen is fully equipped with fridge and freezer, oven at a comfortable height, ceramic hob, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, mixer and much more. Furthermore, you can also find on the lower level the "practical" area with guest bathroom, storage room, washing machine, etc.
The wide wooden staircase with antique forged railings leads to the upper floor of the villa, there are 3 double ensuite bedrooms. Each room is named. "The Romantic Room" - a playful double room with queen size bed, a shower bath in white-gray and a large white decorated metal bed. "The Valley Room" also has a queen bed with shower area providing a chic brownish-yellow mosaic. The panoramic view of the Vinodol Valley gives the room its name. Last but not least the "The Master Lake Room" is the largest bedroom with a double bed and an additional single bed. The 45 m² room with bathtub and natural stone tile bathroom plus a small workspace offers an unforgettable view of the Vinodol Valley, Tribalj Lake and the Prince Frankopan Tower. All rooms are air conditioned with private LCD TV and other amenities.
Perhaps you have already seen the photos of the spectacular natural location of the house. A peaceful location with spectacular views in all directions over beautiful slopes, into the valley and the lake. From the first to the last day of your holiday, you will be amazed and charmed every morning when you wake. The quiet location guarantees you and your family or friends a relaxing holiday. The location is so central with 10 minutes to the beach of Crikvenica. The sea is clear, clean seawater with a shady promenade, where you can enjoy a cool drink or the delicacies of the region. The capital of Kvarner Bay, Rijeka, is easily reached and only 25 km by car. After Split and Zagreb, Rijeka is the third largest city in Croatia and offers the capital of the Kvarner region as well as the University city the advantages of a small metropolis full of cultural diversity. An excursion to one of the many islands of the Kvarner Bay should not be missed. The largest of the islands - Krk - is connected and easily accessible by bridge to the mainland.
Enjoy the countryside and the cities of the region, which are so varied in the Mediterranean. The Villa "Tribalj" and the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners make it easy for you on arrival. We wish you a good start to the holidays.

Use flake or shaved ice to keep your products freshly preserved inside an attractive nest of ice. These small and soft pieces of ice have a 73% ice to water ratio, which helps them to form around objects without their bruising, tipping, or spilling. Flake and Shaved Ice Makers are recommend for businesses like grocery stores and fish markets.
Undercounter Ice Makers are perfect for anyone who is interested in purchasing an icemachine, but don't have a huge reserve of extra space. We recommend these all-in-one systems for concessions, vendors, and small businesses with limited space for traditional ice maker.

Someone here asked for my story since we're sharing them. I'll get back to you on that one. It's too much for my fried brain at the moment. Right now I'm nursing an 'overindulgence' from last night and feel like warmed over dog turd. I wrote about it in Alcohol Sucks, cause it does.
I'd rather be out in the beautiful sunny day, but really, I'd rather it was a rainy foggy crappy day instead. So I'll amuse myself thinking about my life history while trying to snatch some zzzzz's, try to condense it because it's very convoluted, but I'll just give the salient points, like the time my father ran after me with a hatchet, and another when my brother broke a lamp over his head to stop him from kicking and choking me. A little teaser eh?, like a movie trailer. Maybe I'll work up a good cry in the process of recalling, and I can use one about now instead of feeling like a dumb lush when I KNOW what drinking does to me. Oh well, live and learn (I hope). - BCat

Because our projects are often carried out in sensitive locations with partners who have to be very careful what they say and to whom, we are vigilant for their safety. So, up front, we apologize here for presenting only the broad strokes of a wonderfully true tale of what God is doing in a Middle Eastern country right now. Here's our attempt to share what's fit to tell:
An American Farmer (we'll call him AF) went to work with a Christian ministry in a country in the Middle East where there was war going on. There he met a gal from a nearby country (let's call her AB- Arab Beauty) and, after extensive negotiations with her Arab family, married her. Although he wanted to remain there, it pleased AB's family that AF agreed to move to her home country for their first two years of marriage.
In ways that shouldn't surprise us, God began drawing folks from AB's home country to Himself in surprising numbers. In fact, AF's team leader heard rumors of great numbers of conversions. It seemed a divine moment to mobilize workers for concerted church planting. But were the rumors true? And if they were, how should this church planting be approached?
AF's leaders decided that a full nation research project must be done to confirm, or not, these stories, so that strategic planning could occur. His team leader knew OC from previous work, and so OC researchers were invited to organize the data gathering and train the workers for this project. Because they still had 18 months remaining on their 2-year commitment to stay local, AF and AB agreed to lead the research effort.
After our creating together the various questionnaires and data forms, and giving AF, AB, and their team relevant practice in interviewing, the OC workers returned home to pray and participate from afar. They now keep in touch by Skype (connections are flaky but adequate), pray daily and plan to return to help them, at least once and maybe more. They hope to also be with them at the end of the project, to celebrate the dissemination of the results.
They are making good progress and soon will be moving from the interview phase to the data analysis phase. May God give all involved ears to hear and eyes to see spiritual realities behind the data.

Published: 13th March 2006
Number Of Pages: 402
In 300 C.E. the Roman Empire stretched from Britain to Mesopotamia, from the North Sea to the Sahara Desert. A mere three hundred years later the Roman imperial structure was gone, replaced by a series of barbarian kingdoms that became the basis of Europe's eventual medieval and modern states. In this anthology Thomas F.X. Noble presents a collection of key articles, written by leading scholars over the last twenty years, that examine how and why the dominance of the Roman Empire ended and how new forms of government and society were established.
Since the Renaissance, historians have tended to understand the events of the period in terms of a dramatic "decline and fall" of Rome. However, these revisionist essays provide an overview of how contemporary historians have furthered the debate, reassessing how abruptly the shift from Roman Empire to barbarian Europe occurred, and the origins and causes of the development of the Middle Ages and the new order. Rome played a key role in guiding this transformation and these essays also include a wealth of material on the characteristics and experiences of the barbarian tribes, the relationships they forged with the Romans and how far their new kingdoms were influenced by Rome.
With an accessible and informative introduction, and thorough editorial material accompanying each section, " From Roman Provinces to" "Medieval Kingdoms "is highly readable and informative compilation of current work and recent perspectives, making complex debates accessible to students and exposing them to the key debates surrounding the study of the era.
'Noble's editorial interventions provide welcome assistance... Moreover, each essay, and each section of the book, is introduced succinctly by Noble, often with a set of questions that are designed to prompt critical reading... I have no doubt that the book will prove immensely useful... an excellent resource... [This book has] great value and broad appeal: anyone with a serious interest in how modern scholars engage with their past will learn much from Noble's superlative collection.' - Classics Ireland

Other Ten Percent 5/16/11
Okay so, we are abandoning the advertising model since we lost our last sponsor. Well technically Axe Body Wash was strangely fine with continuing our partnership but after Thursday's entry gave me a temporary psychotic break that caused me to miss Friday's post and then post a homophobic rant about a school candidate and quit Facebook it was decided it was best if we parted ways. So the dream of sponsoring individual websites on the internet is dead. Maybe the dream has died in general. For all of us. This is almost certainly not a final dramatic low-point before a twist and a newfound sense of purpose. Continue Reading »

First beer ever to be both
brewed and canned in Brighton!
Brighton Bier
4.0% Pale Ale
Gold Medal
International Beer Challenge 2015
Brighton Bier was one of only three UK breweries to win Gold in any category from over 630 beers from 30 countries worldwide that entered the competition.
Registered with The Vegan Society
Exciting news this week in Brighton's thriving beer scene as local craft brewery Brighton Bier made history!
Despite the city's rich brewing past, never before had a beer actually been brewed and canned in Brighton. Well now it has.
Brighton Bier's signature 4.0% ABV Pale Ale is now available in eye catching 330ml cans. The beer won Gold at the International Beer Challenge 2015, and is also registered with The Vegan Society.
Founded in 2012 as a gypsy brewery based at the Hand in Hand brewpub on St James's Street, Brighton Bier had long harboured ambitions to get its flavoursome brews into cans. "As well as preserving the freshness and flavour of the beer better than glass bottles, cans have enormous environmental advantages that are particularly relevant to our city" explains Brighton Bier founder and brewer Gary Sillence. Now based at their own premises less than a mile from where it all started, Brighton Bier has grown to be one of Sussex's most successful breweries. "From its inception Brighton Bier was all about developing the beer culture of the city and getting the best possible beer into the hands of Brighton residents and visitors alike. As a beachside city, glass bottles are just so restrictive" added Director Ollie Fisher. As well as being widely and easily recycled, cans also offer significant space and weight savings which reduce fuel consumption whether the beer is delivered locally, nationally or internationally.
Once considered the exclusive preserve of mass produced, flavourless lager, cans are now firmly established as the package of choice for many craft beer drinkers. While unsurprisingly this was a trend that began in North America, large UK craft breweries like Brewdog and Beavertown have harnessed this renewed enthusiasm for getting great craft beer into cans. But only recently has small scale canning become realistic thanks to developments in the UK craft brewing sector. Principally, the arrival of companies like WeCan who offer mobile canning services.
The equipment and running costs and the huge minimum order quantities make having your own high quality canning line prohibitive for most craft breweries. "When we first started brewing I enquired about shipping a small manual canning machine from Canada" says Gary. "But it just wasn't realistic and to be honest back then people still thought it was mad to put great beer in a can. The landscape has changed beyond recognition".
So what next? Well now that they've begun, Brighton Bier intends to be canning a lot more beer. As well as established brews like West Pier, Free State and South Coast IPA, the team will also be launching a number of new beers over the rest of 2016 and beyond. These include Cyclops Eyedrops, Downtown Charlie Brown, Fake Ale of San Francisco and Fat Boy Stout.
Brighton Bier Director Stephen Whitehurst explains "One of the huge advantages of the mobile canning rigs is the minimum quantities are quite small. So we can have them visit the brewery and package a number of different brews in one visit giving us much more flexibility". Stephen also commented how this flexibility will enable the brewery to follow up on requests to export their beers to a number of countries in Europe and to Japan. This week Brighton Bier also exported beer to North America for the first time. The new range of beers, along with some favourite brews, will enable Brighton Bier to meet a short-term target of selling in excess of 150,000 cans a year nationally and internationally.
Brighton Bier will also be launching a series of can driven beer events in the city including a "Barefoot Beer Festival".

Hollywood Regency Design
We have listened. We have responded.
Hollywood meets Cedar Rapids!
Why have I taken the liberty to run the post below again?
For one simple reason – it has received the most hits of any of my posts! Actually, TWICE the number to the second runner-up! Interestingly, the second place article is also of the Hollywood genre!
The above photos feature the newest look on Phelan's showroom floor. Come by and tell us what you think. This look is bold, but more to the point, it is functional, sophisticated in a playful way, and, well – just romantic!
Told you so.
This is it – 100 percent over the top – Hollywood Regency design revival in full bloom. Always opulent and ever eclectic, always theatrical and expectedly daring, this style is not for the faint of heart. Captain Milquetoast does not get a ticket to this show. Sometimes this style is brushed with whimsy and fantasy , like in the abundant use of light fixtures as seen in the photo. But you have to admit, it is dazzling.
From the 1930's and continuing through the 50's (now referred to as Mid-century) Regency styling epitomized glamor, wealth, and lavish collections that identified the early Hollywood era. Elements of Lucite, lacquer, chinoiserie, bamboo – painted or natural, mercury glass, wild color schemes, flamboyant feathers, and …
Well, name something glamorous and it was in!
Clean architectural lines were paired with the frill of rococo. And, of course MIRRORS MIRRORS everywhere. Global Views is a company favored by Phelan's for their wonderful selection of mirrors. At High Point market they introduced an elegant montage of 7 octagonal mirrors, finished in black lacquer and edged in silver, AKA: Regency revival.
Today the revival is just as bold and as fresh as ever, not to mention terribly interesting! Scroll down to the previous post and you'll see another interpretation from the swank unrestrained era called Hollywood Regency.
There will be more next week – THE GLAM BEDROOM!

That little thing that you keep inside your head. And you wont let anybody see it or even walk through your mind.
Some of them has a good one but some of them has a bad one. I dont like my secret. Its kill me. Slowly. From time to time. I hate it. But still, i keep in mind so that no one can see it.
It is a huge one. It is amazing that i could stand on it so far.
You know how is it feel to have those thing on your mind? It's like a time bomb. Sometime somehow can blow it out and you cant control it.
You know you can tell it to someone if you like to. You dont have to keep it alone.
Try this line:
"Tell me what you want to hear?"
"Im gonna give all my secret away"
That are good lines to start.
Mine? No, thanks. "Im not gonna give my secrets away"

So, the meetup this past Friday went very well! Lots of new faces here, and lots of great ideas generated!
Some ideas for how to fund the project in a sustainable manner, and ideas to enable end users to have more availability to get a node installed. Also, ideas for internal applications were bounced around that would be valuable for our end users.
We're waiting to hear back from a prospective fiscal sponsorship, so be on the lookout for updates there as well. Meeting notes for the last meeting can be found here. I'm hoping to prune down the old business quite a bit for the next meeting on March 6th. Hoping to see everyone there. If you're interested in this project, feel free to duck into that meetup, or drop in at The Foundry this Saturday for our "Meet and Play" session.
During the Meet and Play, we'll be running a table again (Better prepared this time) and also investigating people's hardware they want to try and use, to see how it can fit into the mesh operations. We'll also be there to flash firmware for people who bought devices, and aren't comfortable doing it themselves.
And, with that being said, we're always looking for people who want to be involved in this. There's lots of jobs for people: Writing code, installing nodes, doing research, designing materials for the public (Fliers, etc), writing articles, etc etc. If you want to help, just come to either of our events, and we'll figure out where you'd be best, or find something you'd be interested in helping with.

Star Police and Ada County Sheriff's deputies are still figuring out exactly where Zackery D. Adams went and what he took from homes during a long standoff in Star Wednesday.
Adams is currently being held in the Ada County Jail on felony counts of burglary, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon in connection with the case.
Adams spent about seven hours hiding from police in the neighborhood to the west of Star Elementary School in the Star Road/Blake Drive area before he was arrested behind a home in the 11000 block of 3rd Street early Wednesday evening.
Adams was seen running through backyards and went into unlocked homes and outbuildings in the neighborhood as he hid from Star Police and ACSO deputies.
Deputies know he took two guns from inside a home on Carswell Way — a .357 handgun and a Taurus .380 with a wooden handle. Deputies recovered the .357 handgun near where Adams was arrested Wednesday and found the Taurus .380 in the same neighborhood early Thursday afternoon. Adams told detectives he left that gun in a shed nearby. It is unclear what else he took during the crime spree. Adams is also charged with misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest and providing false information to a police officer.
The incident began just after 11 a.m., when Star Police got a call from the public saying that a man with red hair was acting suspiciously — looking into the backyards of homes in the 11000 block of W. Hidden Brook Drive and jumping over a fence.
When officers arrived, they found a man – later identified as Adams — walking in the neighborhood. When an officer asked him who he was, Adams gave a false name. Moments later, Adams took off running and jumped over a fence. He left behind a backpack.
That's when officers began searching the neighborhood for Adams, who was seen running around through backyards and going into at least one unlocked garage before officers lost sight of him.
Police found items from the backpack that linked Adams to a home burglary in Nampa the day before.
Ada County Sheriff's deputies and Meridian Police helped Star Police set up a perimeter around the neighborhood as they searched for Adams.
Ada County dispatchers called homeowners in the neighborhood west of Star Elementary to tell them what was going on, encouraged them to lock their homes, and asked them to report any sightings of Adams back to dispatch.
A picture and short video of Adams running away from Star Police went out on social media platforms Twitter and Facebook and traditional media outlets to help generate leads.
Adams remained hidden for several hours as officers searched the area. Dispatchers started getting more tips of sightings as people got home from work around 5 p.m. and saw him moving around backyards in the neighborhood.
Officers closed the perimeter around those sightings and eventually boxed Adams in inside a yard in the 11000 block of 3rd Street. Adams tried to run away again but eventually surrendered when confronted by two Ada County Sheriff's deputies. That happened just after 6 p.m.
Adams had a knife on him at the time of the arrest. Deputies also found a small amount of methamphetamine on Adams.
Deputies later determined Adams hid in a boat in the backyard of the home on 3rd Street right before he was arrested. That's where they found the .357 handgun.
Deputies took Adams to the Star Police substation for an interview before taking him to the Ada County Jail.
We'd like to pass on some major thanks to Meridian Police K9 officers and their dogs for all their help Wednesday.
Ada County Sheriff's Office Captain Dana Borgquist thanked the public for all their help in calling in updates on Adams' movements, which ultimately led to his arrest.
The crime of felony burglary is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. More charges against Adams are likely. A preliminary hearing on the case will be set for some time in early July.

Mackintosh: Rose Motif
Available in Stock
The stylized cabbage rose was a favourite motif of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, appearing in designs such as the glazed doors in the Glasgow School of Art. The motif decorates the embossed foil cover of this journal - one of a series that could lend splendour to the most humble jottings. Inside there are 176 ruled pages, scarlet endpapers, a silk marker and a pocket for loose papers. The book closes with a solid magnetic side flap.

Fire survivors face extraordinary grief
Eight children and teenagers are among 11 people killed in Queensland's worst fire since the Childers backpacker blaze.
Heartbreaking scenes of grief have played out at Slacks Creek, south of Brisbane, where 150 Tongan and Samoan mourners gathered to sing prayers for those lost.
Three men from two Pacific Islander families managed to escape the blaze with their lives, but face grief of enormous proportions.
Among them is Jeremiah Lale, who has lost his wife and five children, aged seven to 18.
He had fought with everything he had to save them from the fire that tore through their home with deadly speed early on Wednesday morning.
With flames all around him, he broke a second-storey window and hurled mattresses on to the ground, screaming for his family to follow him.
He leapt out and opened his arms to catch his children but they didn't come. Nor did five others who had been asleep inside the tin-and-fibro home.
"He called them to come and he jumped down and waited," said Faimalotoa John Pali, the chief and president of the Voice of the Samoan People in Logan, who sat with Mr Lale on Wednesday.
"But they all ran into the one room together and, I think with the others, they all died in that room."
Another survivor, Misi Matauaina, also leapt from the blazing home, believing his partner and their two children, aged three and six, had got out.
But when he fell to the ground, he realised they were still inside and there was nothing he could do to save them, Mr Matauaina's uncle Faiumu Tafeaga told reporters.
The dead include eight victims aged 18 and under. The youngest is three. Three adults also perished.
Vincent Vaetoa was not at the home when the fire broke out but went to the scene on Wednesday to see where his daughter had died.
Adelle Taufa, 16, had been sleeping at the house while her mother and stepfather were away for the night.
"The last time I saw her (Adelle) was at my younger brother's 21st, about a month ago," he told AAP.
"Even now it's hard to believe it's happening. I've tried to, in my mind, think nothing has happened and everything is fine.
"There was so many people in the house it's hard to believe."
Elma Hiddleston, who described herself as an aunt and cousin of the dead, was inconsolable.
"I don't believe it really happened," a sobbing Ms Hiddleston told reporters.
"I watched them grow up.
"Eleven people – it is just too much for me."
Police have described the fire as a tragedy beyond all proportions.
"Never in my service, never have I seen anything like this," Logan police Superintendent Noel Powers told reporters. "It's a total and utter catastrophe."
Neighbours have told AAP those inside stood little chance of escaping from the second storey of the home that now lies in ruins, its top floor collapsed into a blackened shell.
From the back fence of Mark Griffin's home, directly behind the disaster scene, a charred bed could be seen through a gaping hole in the side of the house.
"I knew there were three generations of a family that lived there. I knew there were a lot of children," Mr Griffin told AAP.
It is understood one of the families' patriarchs is among the survivors – a grandfather who told Mr Griffin he was a religious minister and had a yam farm in the Cleveland area.
He described the fire as utterly ferocious, punctuated by one loud explosion and a series of smaller ones.
"The flames totally engulfed downstairs, and worked their way to the top," he said, adding those upstairs had little hope of escape.
Premier Anna Bligh went to the scene, where she met with Mr Lale as he grieved his wife and five children.
"I don't think anyone could imagine the pain that that would involve," she said.
Ms Bligh said the hearts of all Australians went out to the families and the broader community and that counsellors had been sent to local schools the children attended.
"I think on behalf of all Queenslanders and all Australians we send our condolences and heartfelt sorrows to these families and this community today," Ms Bligh said.
"This is the most serious fire incident Queensland has seen since the Childers backpacker fire that saw the loss of 15 young people."
In an emotional show of support for the families involved, mourners gathered on the street near the blackened house, singing prayers for the lost.
Meanwhile experts, including some who helped with the aftermath of the Bali bombings, are preparing for the task of recovering the bodies, and what could be a long process to formally identify them.

LIMERICK, Ireland (KTRK) -- Your digestive system just got a new organ.
Scientists have long known about the mesentery, a structure that connects the intestine to the abdomen, but it has been considered a fragmented structure comprised of several different parts.
Until now.
New research from a University of Limerick surgeon classifies the mesentery as its own organ, a move that could change the way doctors diagnose and treat abdominal disease.
SEE ALSO: Baby on liver transplant list waits on 40 minutes
"Now we have established anatomy and the structure. The next step is the function," Professor J Calvin Coffey said in a news release.
"If you understand the function, you can identify abnormal function, and then you have disease. Put them all together and you have the field of mesenteric science...the basis for a whole new area of science," he added.
Classifying the mesentery as a separate organ could help make surgeries less invasive and improve patient recovery times.
The new research has even prompted an update to the Gray's Anatomy textbook.

The western media has blown the financial woes of Dubai out or proportion, it has been claimed.
According to Santhosh Joseph, president of Dubai Pearl, a developer which has recently revived a $4 billion construction project, said that the state's property sector weakness had been exaggerated by people with little or no first-hand experience of the market.
Speaking to Reuters at the MIPIM real estate trade fair in Cannes, Mr Joseph said: "My firm belief is that the same people who are talking down Dubai will be among the first people to come back."
He added: "I believe that by 2012, the troubles of 2009 will be forgotten. It is a young city, and like a young human being, it must suffer growing pains."
Mr Joseph claimed that the "build it and they will come" attitude has worked for the city for the past 40 years so it was unlikely to stop working.
According to UK minister for trade Lord Davies, Dubai is a natural investment hub for the Middle East.

The use of prescription, medically supervised weight loss is one of the tools Synergistic Health Centers will use to help patients achieve overall healthy weight management goals. The Synergistic Approach is a comprehensive strategy that incorporates prescriptions such as Xenical and Qsymia.
Prescriptions are almost never used as the primary means of weight loss, nor should they be considered a long-term solution to weight management. Prescriptions can help as part of a synergistic weight loss program to lose weight and a healthy and responsible way.
Appetite Suppressants
Typically, weight loss drugs work as an appetite suppressant. They work by mitigating the feelings of hunger. These drugs come in the form of tablets or time-release capsules. One of the most common appetite suppressants is phentermine which is used in the brand Qsymia. Qsymia also includes a drug that increases the feelings of fullness.
Fat Absorption Blockers
There are other weight loss drugs know as fat absorption inhibitors. They work by preventing your body from breaking down and absorbing fat eaten with your meals. One such prescription medication is known as Orlistat. This drug works by blocking about 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed. Orlistate is available as a prescription in the commonly known brand Xenical.

There has recently been some discussion on Twitter in relation to tunnel traps. This blog may assist in understanding the law governing the use of these traps.
Tunnel traps, which include bridge traps (often referred to as rail traps), are efficient methods of controlling small mammalian pest species. The law permitting the use of these traps is the Spring Traps Approval (Scotland) Order 2011 (there are different Orders covering the rest of the UK but by and large the law is similar). Though a number of traps have been given government approval, those principally used are the Fenn Mk I, II, IV and VI; Solway Nos. 4 and 6 and Springer Nos. 4 and 6. The smaller traps (I, II IV and No 4 can be used for grey squirrels, stoats, weasels, edible dormice, rats and mice. The inclusion of edible dormice (Glis glis) is most likely because they are non-native, as opposed to the native hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius), which is on Schedule 2 of the Habitats Regulations as a European Protected Species. The UK range of the edible dormouse, at least in the meantime, seems restricted to southern England. The larger traps (Mk VI and No 6) can additionally be used for rabbits and mink.
The traps must be set in a natural or artificial tunnel which is 'suitable for minimising the chances of capturing, killing or injuring non-target species whilst not compromising the killing or taking of target species'. No guideline as to the maximum size of the access hole to the tunnel is given in the Order, but in the design of the tunnel, particularly the entrance, the operator must minimise (dictionary definition – reduce to the lowest possible degree or amount) the chance of catching non-target species. An unsuitable tunnel would be one which clearly permits access to species larger than the largest that may legally be caught: the grey squirrel (or the mink or rabbit in the case of the larger traps).
This is a difficult area in which to be prescriptive, especially with the larger though less commonly-used traps, but the tunnel should not, so far as is possible, allow access to non-target mammals such as hedgehogs, pine martens, etc. Even when a genuine attempt has been made to restrict tunnel entrances by stones or other natural items, there will always be an odd occasion when a non-target mammal will manage to squeeze in. It may be a young hedgehog, a young rabbit or a mink, but these should only be very occasional by-catch, otherwise the trap should be removed or the entrance altered. Gridweld mesh end(s), or a wooden end to the tunnel with a hole in the centre, are much better and much less likely to result in by-catch. If a genuine effort is made to comply with the law then, even if a red squirrel or pine marten is caught, the law may not necessarily be broken unless it would be reasonable to conclude that the operator should have known that he would be likely to trap such a protected animal.
The part of the description of what is permitted in the use of the traps is interesting with the new (2011) inclusion of the phrase 'whilst not compromising the killing or taking of target species'. Does this now mean that if both grey squirrels and red squirrels are in the same woodland a trap (particularly a bridge or rail trap which is more likely to take red squirrels than those set in dark tunnels) can be used even though it may take an occasional red squirrel? Might this be in conflict with Section 11(2) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act which states that it is an offence if any person sets in position any of the following articles, being an article which is of such a nature and so placed as to be likely (this term only applies in Scotland) to cause bodily injury to any wild animal included in Schedule 6 which comes into contact therewith, that is to say, any trap or snare (etc)? Schedule 6 includes the badger, wildcat, hedgehog, and red squirrel. This is as yet untested in court but I see this as a possible argument by defence agents.
The most common method of abuse with tunnel traps is their use in tunnels where the access is considerably greater that the approved use allows. Examples are stone-built tunnels with no attempt to restrict access, wooden tunnels with no ends fitted and no attempt to restrict access, or simply a couple of twigs stuck in the ground at the tunnel entrance that a hedgehog, cat or other larger mammal could easily bulldoze aside.
For policing purposes the law is not straightforward, and I would much rather see a prescriptive maximum size for the tunnel entrance, depending on the trap involved. Where traps are suspected of being used illegally they should be reported to the police. Traps that appear to be used legally should not be interfered with. If tunnel traps are set legally there is no requirement for it to be checked at specified intervals.
There are no circumstances in which gin traps can legally be set, though it is not an offence to possess a gin trap, unless with intent to use it.

No. 2 Rams look for fourth straight win
TORONTO - The No. 2 nationally ranked Ryerson Rams women's volleyball team welcomes the Trent Excalibur to town on Friday evening for the team's only game this week.
The Rams are coming off a 2-0 weekend that saw them battle in a five-set thriller against Queen's before sweeping RMC. Ryerson stands atop the OUA east division standings with their 3-0 record so far.
Trent has yet to find the win column in 2018-19, entering weekend play with an 0-3 record with losses to Lakehead, Nipissing and York. The Excalibur have had a tough start to their schedule, having to travel to Thunder Bay and then North Bay on back to back weekends, and they'll now be making their second trip to Toronto in as many weeks after visiting York last Sunday.
Ryerson has never lost to Trent in their four meetings, after the Excalibur joined the OUA in the 2016-17 season.
The Rams have played well in all facets to start the season, leading the league in hitting percentage and service aces per set, while sitting second in blocks per set. Their attack has been efficient and first year setter Lauren Wong (Scarborough, Ont.) has done well to distribute the ball to her hitters. Wong has also led the strong serving game with 11 aces, putting pressure on Ryerson's opponents and making them earn their points.
Theanna Vernon (Scarborough, Ont.) recently became just the second Ryerson player to ever eclipse the 1,000 point milestone after an impressive 22 point performance last Saturday. The fifth year captain will look to continue her strong start to the season and lead the Rams to a victory on Friday.
Trent enters Friday's match ranking fifth as a team in digs per set, so expect some long rallies and good defence to be on display. Outside hitter Camile Garzon is the Excalibur's top offensive threat, averaging 2.10 kills per set so far this season.
Action begins at the Coca-Cola Court on Friday, November 9 at 6:00 p.m. Stay tuned to Twitter for all the updates and check out the action on OUA.tv
