Reusing existing page content
Kentico's page types enable you to build advanced content models, allowing content editors to reuse content when modeling pages.
The system allows you to define page type fields with the Pages data type and form control. Using such fields, content editors can reuse different pages when modeling a page. Reused pages support workflow, localization, and page-level permissions.
For example, you can create an Article page type that consists of standard page type fields such as Header, Text, and Image. In addition to that, the article page can also consist of content from an Interesting fact page and an Author page. Both Interesting fact and Author pages are just means that editors can use to create the content of the page.
Note: This approach serves mainly for modeling of content by editors. If you need to create named, two-sided page relationships between pages, use standard page relationships.
Integration with workflow
Adding related pages to fields with the Pages data type is not a versioned operation – changing the model of a page under workflow is immediately reflected on a published version of the page. The individual pages that editors add using the Pages data type can still be affected by a workflow.
Setting up content for modeling with related pages
To allow editors to reuse pages, add the Pages form control to a page type:
- In the Page types application, Edit ( ) a page type.
- On the Fields tab, add a New field:
- Data type: Pages
- Form contro: Pages
We do not support usage of the Pages data type field in alternative forms for page types. The Pages data type together with the Pages form control is designed only for page type fields.
- Use the Field caption, Field description and Explanation text fields to inform content editors how you intend them to use the field. For example:
- Field caption: Interesting Fact and Author
In the advanced Editing control settings section, you can set additional optional settings for the form control. For example:
- Select a Starting path. This allows you to specify the section of the site from which content editors can select pages.
- Choose a Limit of related pages to restrict the number of pages that an editor can add on the Form tab of a page.
- Save the changes.
Editors can now use this advanced content modeling technique to reuse content.
Developers can display the content on the live site by, for example:
- Accessing the data via generated code. For example in MVC views.
- Using listing web parts. The Relationship name is in the Page type (field name) format.

Carrying Guns, Contesting Gender
I remember looking at myself in the mirror that first morning, the familiar feminine ritual of checking my looks before heading out for the day disrupted by a new concern. I examined my hip for an unsightly bulge, hoping I had adequately concealed the handgun holstered on my right side. Deep into my research in Metro Detroit, I had decided to obtain a concealed pistol license from the state to better understand how people use guns to navigate social insecurity. The day the license arrived in the mail, I joined the roughly 11 million Americans who were licensed to carry a gun concealed.
I was nervous about adequately concealing my pistol that morning and carrying it into public space, but as a researcher, I was even more curious about what it was like to carry a gun on an everyday basis. Would it feel different to grab a cup of coffee knowing that I was armed with a 9 mm pistol—even if I was the only person who knew? How would my status as a licensed concealed carrier change how gun owners and carriers—disproportionately men—viewed me at the shooting range, in the firearm classroom, or at pro-gun events?
In many respects, gun culture is a man's world. As Scott Melzer argues in his book Gun Crusaders: The NRA's Culture War, the gun lobby's success since the 1970s can, at least in part, be tied to the way guns reinforce masculine identity in America. In legal gun use, the language of self-defense laws and doctrine suggest that guns are a man's prerogative: America's "No Duty to Retreat" doctrine has long been defended by the logic that "a man's house is his castle." And in their criminal uses, guns are sometimes wielded to enact gendered violence—especially domestic. According to a 2003 study by Jacquelyn Campbell and colleagues, an abuser's access to guns ranks (after previous abuse and employment status) as one of the top predictors of a woman being killed by that abuser.
Others, however, highlight the protection guns can afford women. According to a series of papers published by Gary Kleck and colleagues that focus on women's victimization during street crime, acts of resistance against an attacker—including, but not limited to, brandishing or firing a gun—lessen the likelihood that an attack, such as sexual assault, is "completed." Indeed, many Americans argue women stand to gain as much as, if not more than, men from armed protection. From the NRA to the firearms industry to gun instructors, gun advocates are cozying up to the idea of women owning, learning about, and carrying guns.
Pundits and policymakers on both sides of the gun issue argue whether armed women represent collusion with the patriarchy or the dawn of armed feminism. But politically evocative as it may seem, this binary just doesn't capture the dynamic, contested, and at times pragmatic nature of women's participation in gun culture. At the shooting range, in the gun store, and walking through daily life with a holstered firearm, the women I met during my fieldwork defied a single, straightforward narrative. They engaged in an ever-changing set of gendered negotiations through which women's empowerment and masculine protectionism were meshed in sometimes familiar, sometimes surprising ways.
masculine terrains
I met Kathy at Gun Sports & More, a shop and shooting range nested deep in the suburbs of Detroit. I had heard about the store because they hold "ladies only" shooting nights and firearms classes for women. A blond, SUV-driving suburban mom who wore a smart polo shirt (the store uniform) and a holstered handgun, Kathy led Gun Sports' efforts with women: she oversaw many of the firearms courses and pressed range owners to open up dedicated range time for women.
In contrast to the male gun carriers I met, who couched their desire to carry in terms of crime and a desire to protect themselves and their families, Kathy offered a different narrative. Sure, she would be capable of willing to defend herself and her kids with a handgun if needed. But, given the low crime rates in the middle-class suburb where she lived, she thought that was unlikely. Kathy's decision to carry a gun was, instead, motivated by her involvement in gun culture as an enthusiast, an instructor, and a competitive shooter. As we chatted, I saw that Kathy simply enjoyed shooting firearms and loved excelling at a "men's" sport.
When she first started competitive shooting, Kathy experienced exclusion and ridicule based on her gender. Then she won a major championship. She was the only woman to compete that year, and she expected to be mocked and dismissed by the other competitors—especially if she placed in the top three. When her name was called for first place in a room full of men, "they all just clapped!"Scholars like Michael Messner have talked about the gendering of space, arguing that certain arenas like sports and the military have long been "masculine terrain." These social spaces, predicated on women's exclusion, are where bonds among men are forged and links between masculinity and a variety of social attributes—strength, competitiveness, courage—are naturalized. Women who dare to cross the threshold have historically been rejected and ridiculed, told they can't cut it in a man's world. As women enter, these spaces become what Messner calls "contested ideological terrain." The problem isn't their innate abilities, it's how women upset the male monopoly on certain social spaces and social practices.
Betty, who worked in the public sector, was one armed woman who crossed this threshold early in the 1960s, decades before Michigan's concealed carry law was changed. Back then, the law required demonstrating to licensing authorities that you had a legitimate need to carry a gun. Betty argued that her job made her vulnerable, particularly as a woman, and the gun board agreed. However, she recalled being bullied by her male co-workers: "'Look at you, why do you need a gun?' They were just jealous! They told me there's no way someone as small as me could even use a gun!"
Chris told a similar story: after her dad had been the victim of a kidnapping in Detroit's infamous Cass Corridor, she decided she wanted to learn how to use a gun for self-defense. When she called a couple of local gun stores to ask about an impromptu lesson, she "basically got laughed off the phone." She soon found out that in her county, women were being denied concealed pistol licenses because the men on the licensing boards couldn't wrap their heads around the idea of an armed woman capable of self-defense. Chris was angry: "Particularly for women who were in situations where they felt threatened by a former boyfriend, husband, any kind of stalking situation, being denied the ability to defend themselves is absolutely unacceptable."
Committed to teaching women how to shoot and use guns for self-defense, Chris eventually became politically active in the grassroots effort to pass Michigan's 2001 concealed carry law, which would remove the discretion of the licensing board to decide who was worthy of a concealed pistol license. As part of her activism, she was slated to speak at a men's-only hunting lodge. As she described it, she was one of the few women who "had ever crossed that doorway." In fact, it turned out that her invitation was a mistake: "[O]ne of the guys came over to me and said, 'I'm so sorry, Chris, we didn't realize, but with your name, we didn't know if you were a man or a woman, but we assumed you were a man.'" Instead of leaving, Chris decided she wouldn't "drop to that level" and lectured the men: "What about your wife? Your daughter? Your aunt? Your mother? Your grandmother? Your neighbor who doesn't have a husband or boyfriend? When you are not around to defend the homestead, what about them? Don't they deserve the right to take care of themselves and to do it with good training?"
Ten years later, when I started researching gun politics in 2010, I'd hear the same arguments—not just from women, but from pro-gun men, as well.
the great equalizer
Today, Chris's arguments about guns as gender equalizers—captured by slogans like "God Created Man and Woman, But Samuel Colt Made Them Equal"—have gained traction. Many of the men I met in Michigan during the course of my research insisted they liked the idea of armed women. And from the looks of shooting ranges, gun shops, and gun magazines, things are changing: at a local shooting range, you're likely to see pink handguns, pink rifles, and even ammunition labeled with a pink bow in support of breast cancer awareness.
Certain guns are feminized: small guns, pink guns, and revolvers have all become "women's guns," and there's now a whole cottage industry—from designer concealed carry bags to bra holsters—geared at making concealed handguns a fashionable, comfortable option for women. Gendering (and sexualizing) the "culture of fear"—to use Barry Glassner's term—gun advertisements often highlight women's vulnerability and promote guns as a "woman's best friend." Glock's "Wrong Girl" commercial depicts a young woman in a tank top and panties alone at home. She hears a disturbance and grabs her Glock. Before she can shoot, the would-be intruder passes out in shock. Was it the sight of the beautiful woman or the Glock? Either way, the threat is neutralized.
There's a good reason the firearms industry wants to make guns appealing to women: they represent a largely untapped consumer base in a market already swimming with 300 million guns. Women mean more gun sales, more NRA memberships. This embrace, as Chris intimated, also fits with dominant gender ideologies stipulating men as protectors: how can a man truly committed to protecting his family deny his wife and children a weapon of self-defense?
But old habits die hard. With this openness comes new narratives that negotiate women's presence in a "man's world." Today, Chris wouldn't be laughed off the phone or stage. Instead, she'd be encouraged: women are often assured that their gender makes them great shooters. Why? Male gun instructors told me women are more docile learners. And if they aren't quite the warriors that men are, they still have a natural, maternal instinct to protect. Their smaller fingers, which apparently make women "naturally" more dexterous, don't hurt either.I seemed to be a prime example of just how wrong those generalizations were. It took a while for me to understand the feel of the gun at a tactile level, knowing just where the pad of my finger should sit on the trigger or how to roll with the recoil. Like other women I met, I became irritated that a gendered standard had already been set for me and my shooting abilities; it added another layer of stress to conducting fieldwork. And I found that while increasing my firearms proficiency and knowledge made me feel more comfortable and even, like Kathy, a bit "empowered" on the range, it didn't really change how men saw me and my gun. Most often, I was treated as a novice until the man saw how well I shot a .460 Rowland ("My wife would never shoot that!") or how detailed my knowledge of ammunition became ("You know what a 9mm Kurz round is? Most men don't even know that!")
Gender still matters on today's shooting range. There are men insisting that women carry uselessly small, but "gender appropriate," .380s or familiarize themselves with revolvers (semi-automatics might be too mechanically complicated). There are women "surprising" men with their full capability as shooters. But rather than a politics of exclusion, gender works more through a contradictory, contested politics that informally segregates everything from handguns to holsters into gender appropriate categories.
The shooting range is contested ideological terrain. Under new concealed carry laws, the gendering of guns and gun paraphernalia extends into public space, too.
public guns
Thanks to the passage of "shall-issue" laws in dozens of US states, guns can become part of everyday life. These laws require licensing authorities to issue a license to carry so long as the applicant meets a predetermined list of criteria. In contrast to Betty and Chris, who had to convince a gun board that they were fit to carry, in most states license applicants today can simply take a firearms course, fill out an application, pay a fee and—assuming their criminal record comes back clean—receive their license in a matter of weeks. In the US, there are roughly 11 million licensed gun carriers, and over 400,000 of them are in Michigan. Though there is no national database of concealed carriers, state-level data—such as Michigan's—suggests that about 1 in 5 of these licensees are women.For many women, the experience of carrying a gun—even if it is concealed—means experiencing public space differently. Angela, a woman in her 50s, became interested in guns during a camping trip "up north." She explained her first exposure in gendered terms: "You know how the story goes: the girls are talking about sewing, and the guys are talking about hunting. So I overheard one of the guys saying he wanted to go shooting. Nobody had any interest. So I said, 'I will!' " Angela's comfort on the range soon translated into a desire to learn more; she found herself in a concealed pistol licensing class. She didn't intend to ever carry her gun until she became friends with one of the instructors, who offered to go out with her on her first day as a gun carrier. No one could see her gun, of course, but she still felt nervous with it on her hip. What if someone saw? What if it somehow popped out of its holster? Angela told me stepping out of the car, going to the grocery store, or just walking around all felt different. But carrying her gun (eventually, two guns) gave her a degree of confidence: even if her concealed gun was her secret, she'd proved she was capable of carrying it.
Though she was acutely attentive to gender as she described her own turn to guns, Angela didn't use the term "feminist." In fact, only one woman gun carrier I met described herself in explicit feminist terms, jokingly calling herself a "feminazi". Nevertheless, Angela's story evokes Martha McCaughey's argument that self-defense is a form of "physical feminism": teaching one's body to "fight back" provides women with a skillset should they find themselves in a violent confrontation such as an attempted sexual assault. Carrying a gun, as well as the confidence that they can defend themselves, thus transforms how these women move through and experience space. It entails an embodied rejection of dependent femininity. Put differently, Angela's gun is a challenge to what Iris Marion Young calls masculine protectionism: the idea that men have an exclusive duty to protect women and children. With a gun at her hip, Angela feels confident she—and she alone—can protect herself.
But just as women's presence on the shooting range is contested ideological terrain, so too are women's holsters: men had a great deal to say about how, what, and when women carried. When I met Cheryl and Matthew, an older, white married couple, Cheryl linked the gun she carried to feelings of empowerment and fearlessness: "It's funny. When you got the gun, you aren't scared." She told me she felt freer in public spaces and less afraid of being victimized when working as a real estate agent, entering unknown spaces. Like Betty and other women, Cheryl's participation in the workforce was tied to her participation in gun culture.
But as I watched Cheryl and Matthew describe their gun carry habits and their politics, I soon realized that Matthew was the "gun nut" of the two. While Matthew emphasized politics, his disdain for the president, and his military service, Cheryl took a no-nonsense attitude—"He's the political one." Cheryl recognized the appeal of a gun, but she also asserted that she didn't need her gun every time she stepped outside. Matthew neither understood nor respected her logic. He insisted his wife always needed her gun, because "you never know." Motioning to her heavy purse, he argued, "If you can carry all that, you can carry a gun!" Matthew's words followed what I had observed among many other gun-toting men: they were vociferously in support of armed women, but on men's terms. By attempting to override Cheryl's capacity to discern whether and when she needed a gun, he strained to extend his duty to protect into her holster. Cheryl seemed unfazed by Matthew's finagling. More pragmatic than political, Cheryl laughed off her husband's insistence. Her embrace of situational self-protection was a subtle negotiation of masculine protectionism.
For all of my anticipation walking out the door that first day, carrying a firearm in itself did not transform—for better or for worse—my own gendered sense of self. No doubt, I felt the sense of confidence women had told me about. I also experienced strong encouragement—even pressure—from men who thought it was great that I was carrying a gun and who believed that, as a woman, I would be vulnerable to violent attack without one.
But, truth be told, that first experience of gun carry was anti-climatic. At the end of the day, the gun at my hip was just… a gun. It was gun culture—and the practices of gun-carrying men and women—that made my 9mm a gendered object.In this regard, the proliferation of gun carry represents neither the dawn of a new feminism nor the resurgence of the patriarchy—at least not at the individual level of individual armed women, still largely outnumbered by men. Lying somewhere between the domain of "physical feminism" and "masculine protectionism," carrying guns serves—for the women I met—as a way to subtly and not-so-subtly negotiate gender norms around safety, security, and even caring for others. For some women, like Chris and Betty, the gendered world of guns transformed their weapons from tools of self-protection to symbols of women's empowerment. For other women, like Cheryl, guns simply balanced personal, pragmatic needs and men's desire to protect.
The visceral, lived experience of guns is contradictory and contested. A woman's gun can be a tool of embodied empowerment, but it can also be a vehicle of complicity with masculine protectionism. It might even be both, simultaneously. In a complicated, pro-gun country, the gendered meaning of the gun is double-barreled.

Sociologists have allowed their general disdain for firearms to blind them from important social realities for too long. The reality is that women have long been owners and users of firearms, AND that America's gun cultures have been overwhelmingly masculine terrains. Women have benefited from guns AND the gun industry has tried to benefit from women. As Carlson says, a gun can facilitate physical feminism and masculine protectionism, "both, simultaneously." Beautiful.
In showing one way that guns matter to people, this essay is particularly important for sociologists who want to be relevant to the ongoing debates about the role of guns in society.

Although in the competitive sport of cowboy action shooting there are many more men than women, there is still a fair representation of women shooting period correct single action revolvers, lever action rifles, and shotguns. At the club my wife and I shoot, women make up 29 percent of members. And while the fastest men tend to be faster than the fastest women, it is also the case that some of the women are faster than most of the men.

working under the name of sineflesh i compose, record and release electronic music.
i have a massive source of inspiration for my music as i am a lifelong fan of all genres so inevitably these find their way into my work which varies depending what i have been listening to prior to composing and recording!
however i owe thanks to the following talents for giving me inspiration to pursue my own attemps at compositions:
Neu!, early Kraftwerk, Cluster, Harmonia (and anything involving the talents of messrs Dinger, Rother, Moebius, Roedelius, Plank et al), La Dusseldorf, Faust, DAF, Der Plan, Tangarine Dream and other German music of that era; Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Vangelis, Tomita, Karl Jenkins; jazz and boogie woogie, cajun music, Russian Balalaika and Eastern European gypsy music; selected favourite 'mainstream' stuff (ELO, Deep Purple, Talking Heads, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, The Beach Boys, 10cc, Carpenters and many, many others covering the last 40 years!); the heady period of DIY that Punk started (obviously The Sex Pistols, The Ruts, Stiff Little Fingers, Souixsie and the Banshees, Undertones, Ian Dury, The Cure and the many others. . .); that great period of late 70s and early 80s electronica (including The Normal, Cabaret Voltaire, Human League, OMD, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Chrome, Fad Gadget, Visage, Suicide, Tuxedomoon etc etc); Contemporary electronic music from artists like Goldfrapp, Komputer and Fujiya & Miyagi, The Knife, Sigur Ros etc; Industrial music by the likes of Coil, Throbbing Gristle, PTV, Front Line Assembly, Front 242, Nurse with Wound, Residents, as well as the early electronic pioneers like The Art Bears, Tomita, Wendy Carlos, BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Silver Apples, Tontos Expanding Headband, White Noise; and not forgetting Mozart, Beethoven, J S Bach and other classical composers
these are just a selected few of the music genres i grew up with and grew to love - basically i love ALL music and find it hard to focus on any particular 'style' of my own - except that i use electronic keyboards, synthesisers, rythum generators and computer equipment as my medium of expression
the way i ccompose and record my music shares identical processes that use in my art - laying down loads of raw material then editing back into it to reveal the piece, sort of 'negative editing' and cutting stuff away as well as building up the piece - reacting to what's been put down and a constant to-ing and fro-ing, letting the piece develop seemingly on it's own. . .

'Gilligan's Island' Professor, actor Russell Johnson, dead at 89
Actor Russell Johnson, best known as Professor in the 1960s TV sitcom "Gilligan's Island," died Thursday, his agent said. Johnson was 89.
Johnson played the iconic role of Professor Roy Hinkley, whose scientific schemes to get the castaways rescued were always foiled by Gilligan's bumbling.
He died at his home in Washington, where he lived with his wife, Connie. She and their daughter, Kimberly, were at his side, said agent Mike Eisenstadt. Johnson is also survived by a stepson, Court, and a grandson, he said.
Johnson worked up until his death, signing autographs over the holidays, said Eisenstadt. He called Johnson's death "unexpected."

Match ends, Watford 0, Manchester City 5.
Watford 0-5 Manchester City
- From the section Football
Manchester City sealed their place in next season's Champions League by crushing Watford to finish third in Pep Guardiola's debut season.
City skipper Vincent Kompany was left unmarked to head in an early opener before Sergio Aguero twice clinically fired in after quick counter-attacks.
The Blues, needing a point to guarantee a finish in the top four, were 4-0 up at half-time after Fernandinho bundled in.
Gabriel Jesus clipped in a fifth after the break as Watford ended the reign of departing manager Walter Mazzarri with a shocking display.
Mazzarri, who leaves after just one season, was booed by some Hornets fans during the game as the hosts suffered a sixth successive defeat to finish in 17th place.
Follow all the reaction from the Premier League final day
Guardiola delivers minimum requirement
Guardiola is one of the most celebrated coaches in world football and joined City, when he succeeded Manuel Pellegrini last summer, with high expectations after success-packed spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
The 46-year-old former Spain midfielder led Barca to 14 trophies - including three league titles and two Champions Leagues - in four years, then guided Bayern to league titles in each of his three seasons in Germany.
However, his debut season in England has not ended in trophy presentations and victory parades.
City fans hoped his arrival would produce their first Premier League title in three years, but, despite winning their opening six games, they have faced a tense battle to finish in the top four.
Few would have predicted that direct qualification into the Champions League would only be sealed on the final day, as his side held off Liverpool and Arsenal.
In the end, there was little cause for concern in a routine victory.
City were imperious from the opening whistle, easily finding space and clinically finishing their chances against hapless Watford, who were without six recognised centre-backs through either injury or suspension.
The Blues have now reached the Champions League for a sixth successive season - and are hoping for an improved showing under Guardiola next season.
"Next season I can assure you we will come back stronger," said Guardiola, who finished outside of a league's top two for the first time in his managerial career.
Will Aguero and Toure stay or go?
So how will Guardiola look to improve this City squad next season? It is a question he was not willing to answer in his post-match interviews.
Several players - notably Yaya Toure, Pablo Zabaleta, Jesus Navas and Bacary Sagna - are out of contract in the summer, while there are still question marks over Aguero's future.
Aguero has proved to be one of City's all-time greatest players since his £38m arrival from Spanish side Atletico Madrid in 2011, scoring 179 goals in 253 appearances to help the Blues win two Premier League titles and two League Cups.
It seems unthinkable that they might be willing to let him leave - especially after a performance like this at Watford.
The 28-year-old Argentina striker was irrepressible. His movement constantly stretched the Watford defence, creating chances for himself and the team, and his own chances were sealed by trademark clinical finishing.
Aguero, whose second took him to 20 league goals for a third consecutive Premier League season, was denied the chance to complete his hat-trick when he was substituted in the 71st minute to a rousing ovation from the away fans.
Those supporters must surely be hoping it was not a final farewell to a club legend.
'Surviving' not good enough for Watford
Watford have shown glimpses of their potential this season, most notably a home win against Manchester United, but those moments have been few and far between under departing manager Mazzarri.
The Italian, whose exit after just one season in charge was announced last week, insisted he had achieved his objective this season - keeping the Hornets in the top flight.
However, Watford chairman Scott Duxbury clearly disagrees.
"We have aspiration and ambition. There have been some pundits lately saying we should just be happy with just surviving and the crumbs of the Premier League table," he told BBC Radio 5 live earlier on Sunday.
"I'm sorry but we want more than to survive."
Before Mazzarri's dismissal was announced, reports suggested he had fallen out with some players - including captain Troy Deeney - while some fans were concerned his lack of English meant he struggled to communicate with his squad.
The Italian was greeted by some angry supporters when he arrived at Vicarage Road before kick-off, and many chanted for him to be sent off when he was reprimanded by referee Kevin Friend in the second half.
His sacking one season into a three-year contract means the Hornets are looking for their eighth manager in five years since the Pozzo family took control of the club.
Man of the match - Sergio Aguero (Man City)
'The manager needs to speak English' - post-match reaction
Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes:
"It is important to speak English if you are a manager. They cannot pass on instructions to the players but he tried his best and we thank him for it.
"The club had to make a decision, and they did. The language didn't help him. We apologise for some of our mistakes - we can't just blame the manager."
Watford manager Walter Mazzarri:
I want to thank the fans because they were patient. They supported the players on the pitch. It was not easy.
"Look how many players were missing. When we had the full squad we were seventh, we reached 40 points with six games to go.
"We were missing six defenders today. This has never happened to me in my whole career.
"I had a lot of satisfaction in England this year. If there is a team that would make me competitive enough in the league I would consider staying."
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola:
"I was so happy with this season. We fought in all competitions and the only regret is that we did not fight until the end.
"We are so glad to be third because every season is tougher and tougher to reach the Champions League.
"The gap is too big so we need to play better - not work harder - to be closer to Chelsea and Spurs.
"This is one of the best groups I have coached. It has been a privilege to work with these guys."
City are top-four regulars... the stats
- Manchester City have finished in the top four in the Premier League in seven consecutive seasons - the longest active streak of any team in the competition.
- They recorded their 12th league away win - their joint-most in a single campaign (also 12 in 2001-02).
- Aguero became the fifth player to score 20+ goals in three consecutive Premier League seasons (after Shearer, Henry, Van Nistelrooy and Kane).
- Kevin de Bruyne has provided 18 assists this season after teeing up Kompany and Aguero's first. Only Thierry Henry in 2002-03 (20) and Mesut Ozil in 2015-16 (19) have made more assists in a season.
- Gabriel Jesus has had a hand in 11 goals in eight Premier League starts for City (seven goals, four assists).
- Watford suffered their joint-heaviest league defeat (also 5-0 v Wimbledon in December 1999 and 6-1 v Liverpool in November 2016).
- The Hornets conceded 23 league goals from crosses this season, more than any other side.

2007 Opel Astra Twin Top
With new, more economical engines, a refined look, enhanced technology and an expanded equipment range, the new edition of the Opel Astra is available at dealerships from February 2007 at a practically unchanged, affordable price starting from 16,160 euros. The whole Astra family benefits from the model update, from the five-door and station wagon variants to the sporty three-door GTC and dynamic, elegant TwinTop cabrio-coupé. The new Opel Astra made its world premiere at the Bologna Motor Show in December. With about 1.3 million units sold since its market launch in March 2004, the third-generation Astra plays a leading role in the fiercely competitive compact segment and in European sales statistics. The bestseller will now be available with a range of eleven different engine versions, producing between 90 and 240 hp.
2007 Opel Astra Twin Top
0-60 time:14.1 sec.
Top Speed:115.6 mph
body style:
Efficiency increase at the highest level
With two additional 1.6-liter gasoline engines and two 1.7 CDTI common-rail turbo-diesels (available from spring 2007), the Astra engine range offers additional highly efficient propulsion units that are already technologically capable of meeting future emissions standards.
1.6 ECOTEC: Cam-phase meets drivers' needs
The new 1.6 ECOTEC with 85 kW/115 hp offers improved elasticity and smoothness compared to the 1.6-liter engine with 77 kW/105 hp (10 percent more output as well as around three percent less consumption). The improved torque curve is especially noticeable during driving, peaking at 155 Nm and available across a wide rpm range. This translates into powerful propulsion power even at low rpm. With this new engine, the Astra GTC accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 11.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 193 km/h.
The advantages of the new 114 kilogram four-cylinder, four-valve engine, which has a power-to-weight ratio of 0.99 kg/hp, are based primarily on "Cam-Phase" technology. This involves continuous variable valve timings via intake and exhaust camshafts that are adjustable to the driving situation. Both camshafts are controlled seamlessly and independently from one other by engine management in real time, with two compact, vane-type hydraulic adjusters controlling the timing. This allows the intake and exhaust valve timings, and therefore also the engine characteristic, to be more spontaneous and better match each power and performance requirement, which the driver "defines" via the accelerator pedal and gear change.
The simple and yet so effective TWINPORT concept, which was introduced by Opel into all gasoline engines with up to 1.6 liters displacement in 2003, was furthered developed with the 115 hp 1.6-liter engine. Its cylinder head has two separate intake ports per cylinder, just like the 1.6 TWINPORT. While until now manifold flaps were required to ensure stable and consistent combustion, the 1.6 ECOTEC functions without these flaps in its new, two-stage, variable length, plastic intake pipe. This is thanks to the optimized inlet port alignment in combination with cam-phase. The dethrottled gas exchange improves fuel efficiency: the 115 hp GTC and five-door Astra require only an average of 6.3 liters of super unleaded gasoline per 100 kilometers when fitted with the five-speed Easytronic transmission.
The high rates of exhaust gas recirculation, a pre-requisite for reduced emissions, are typical of TWINPORT engines. Over one quarter of the cylinder charge during partial load comes from previously combusted fuel. Instead of the additional external line, an even more efficient internal recirculation system is in use. This enables the hot and combustible exhaust gases to be directly recycled within the cylinder head.
For the first time in this engine class, Opel also uses laser-structured cylinder barrels in the 1.6 ECOTEC. The exactly defined, minute recesses are etched during a special production stage, and act as a micro pressure chamber system. This leads to minimized piston friction and has a positive effect on abrasion, fuel and oil consumption. Other technological highlights of the high-tech engine include the map-controlled thermostat and new, low-drawn exhaust manifold with integrated catalytic converter.
1.6 Turbo ECOTEC: Light, compact powerhouse with Overboost
A similarly impressive balancing act between performance and economy is achieved by the 132 kW/180 hp 1.6 turbo engine, which replaces the 2.0-liter turbo with 125 kW/170 hp. The lighter engine, which also offers taxation benefits thanks to its smaller displacement, consumes an average of only 7.7 liters per 100 kilometers and boasts improved driving performance (Astra GTC top speed: 223 km/h; zero to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds). Compared with its predecessor, consumption is reduced by 1.3 liters for a total consumption reduction of more than 13 percent. At the same time, the 131 kilogram compact engine - the most powerful series production turbo unit in this displacement class - produces considerable acceleration.
The Astra GTC reaches 100 km/h from a standing start in 8.2 seconds, and has a top speed of 223 km/h. In addition to the immediate turbo response, the pronounced elasticity of the engine with sequential manifold injection is also noticeable. This enables the GTC to accelerate from 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear in just 8.4 seconds. The normal maximum torque of 230 Nm is available constantly between 1980 and 5500 rpm, and together with the standard six-speed manual transmission, is an essential precondition for top driving performance.
A special feature of the new engine is the turbocharger's electronically controlled Overboost function. This enables a quick boost of torque to up to 266 Nm. The electronics recognize the need for Overboost by the speed with which the accelerator pedal is pressed. The additional power is available for a maximum of five seconds; after that, the control unit seamlessly regulates the torque back to the normal value of 230 Nm. This function helps the driver to complete quick and safe overtaking maneuvers.
Other construction highlights of the 1.6 turbo engine, which has an output per liter of 112.3 hp, include a rapid-response compressor with external water cooling integrated into the exhaust gas manifold. Its turbine reaches over 200,000 rpm. Other features include the air-cooled intercooler, exhaust valves that are cooled by sodium in the shaft, and oil-spray cooling of the flat pistons. There is also the stronger crankshaft drive, friction-optimized operation of the camshafts, and the new two-mass flywheel with torsional-vibration damper improves running smoothness. The preconverter directly behind the turbine outlet supplements the main underfloor catalytic converter and improves the quick response of the three-way exhaust emission control.
Seven gasoline engines from 1.4-liter fuel-saver to 2.0-liter power turbo
Including the new engines, seven gasoline units are now available for Astra customers - a range which sets the standard in this class. Current units include the extremely efficient 1.4 TWINPORT ECOTEC with 66 kW/90 hp, which like the 1.6-liter version with 105 hp also features Opel's efficient TWINPORT fuel-saving technology. Introduced in November 2005, the 1.8 ECOTEC with 103 kW/140 hp is also very popular among Astra buyers. In order to optimize consumption and performance, this high-tech engine also operates with two variable camshafts, just like the new 115 hp 1.6-liter unit.
>The Astra's gasoline engine range also includes a refined 2.0 turbo unit with 147 kW/200 hp and the top-of-the-line 2.0-liter turbo with 177 kW/240 hp and 320 Nm of torque, which is reserved exclusively for the high-performance Astra OPC, pushing the powerful three-door car into established sports cars territory. The Astra OPC accelerates from zero to 100 km/h within 6.4 seconds and has a top speed of 244 km/h - at an average consumption rate of just 9.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Depending on the engine, a five or six-speed manual transmission, a five-speed Easytronic or a four-speed automatic gearbox is available.
Wide range of diesel engines expanded
The range of diesel engines for the new edition Astra is just as rich in variety. It has been expanded with the 1.7 CDTI units with 81 kW/110 hp or 92 kW/125 hp. The two high-tech diesel engines with six-speed manual transmission as standard and maintenance-free particulate filter – a standard feature of all Astra diesels – will replace the 1.9 CDTI with 74 kW/100 hp and the 1.9 CDTI with manual transmission and 88 kW/120 hp in the course of spring 2007. The 120 hp 1.9 CDTI with six-speed automatic gearbox remains in the range. Just like the gasoline engines, these boast increased power with lower consumption and reduced emission levels compared to the predecessor units. Both 1.7 CDTI engines feature common-rail direct injection and four-valve technology with swirl control for pronounced refinement, high responsiveness and exemplary fuel efficiency. For the five-door Astra for example, engineers cite a saving of more than 0.5 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers.
The new Astra's selection of ultra-modern turbo diesels, from the 1.3 CDTI with 66 kW/90 hp to the 1.9 CDTI with 110 kW/150 hp, is wider than ever and unique in this class. This is also true of the modern transmission range. Depending on the diesel engine, the customer has the choice between the sporty manual gearbox, automated Easytronic manual transmission and comfortable converter gearbox - all of which are six-speed versions.
Accentuated design for stronger model and brand identity
The upcoming Astra sets itself apart from the competition with an even more exciting, sporty look and sends a new signal in its segment. The design team further honed the distinctive face that was presented with the third-generation Astra in 2003 at the IAA and met with a positive response from customers and automotive specialists alike. Thanks to the evolutionary concept, it is still clearly recognizable as a member of the family, and designers were also able to sharpen both model and brand identity. Integrated organic elements such as the sharply drawn "eyebrows" above the imitation air intakes serve as a blueprint for future Opel models. Above these crafted features, the bumper is integrated into the Astra's dynamic V-shaped front.
The dominant radiator mask also adds to the confident look. This impression is enhanced in the five-door and station wagon models by the widened upper chrome crossbar with integrated Opel logo. The distinctive decorative elements reduce the gap to the hood, as well as taking the characteristic crease and continuing it to the radiator grille vanes, which are also chrome-plated.
The headlamp housings in stylish chrome look also convey an additional sense of quality. The Astra Sport, as well as the versions with xenon or curve and cornering light are recognizable by their dark-tinted headlamp housings.
Other features of the new edition Astra include the front bumper with integrated impact protection bars (five-door and station wagon models) as well as tail lights in 3-D block design (five-door model), which already make the GTC's rear so eye-catching. The Astra station wagon features flowing, practical roof rails in aluminum look. The Astra GTC now boasts a honeycomb grille that highlights its sporty look even further.
Interiors in feel-good quality
The new-edition Astra's interior boasts surfaces with an even more high-quality look for the center console, additional chrome rings for the air conditioning and radio controls, as well as new trim for the instrument panel and doors.
The top Cosmo variant, for example, is enhanced with luxurious piano lacquer surfaces and inlays on the center console and steering wheel. Usually reserved for upper-class vehicles, these applications create additional personalization options. With cashmere beige upholstery designs, or saddle brown leather in the GTC, the Astra interior can be completely customized in exclusive feel-good quality. The CD 30 MP3 infotainment system, the most popular choice among Astra customers, is available from February with steering wheel remote controls and a stereo connection for external audio equipment, such as an iPod.
Other standard equipment enhancements include the IDS sport chassis for the Astra Sport and Board Info Display (BID) for the Astra Sport, Cosmo and OPC variants, new 16-inch design wheels for the Edition equipment line, new 16-inch alloy wheels for Astra Sport and Cosmo, as well as new wheel caps for the 16-inch steel wheels. The Cosmo variant now also features fog lamps as standard.
Step-by-step to dream car
Astra customers who wish to configure their dream car down to the last detail now have even more choice. The range of carefully selected Opel accessories extends from fitted sun blinds for the rear window and rear side windows to the mobile DVD player with seven-inch screen.
The robust fiberglass roof box with a volume of 480 liters and the Opel DUO ISOFIX child seat for children weighing between nine and 18 kilograms are also easy to mount. The OPC line package 1 is exclusively available with the Astra GTC and includes a front and rear spoiler, side sills, rear apron and alloy wheels in various designs.
Five-star safety for maximum passenger protection
When it comes to safety equipment the new-edition Astra is at the top level, just like its predecessor. The consumer protection organization Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) rated the passive safety of the new-edition Astra at the highest level - just like the predecessor model. The Astra was awarded the top rating of five stars for passenger protection. With a total of 34 points, Euro NCAP classified it as one of the safest sedans in the compact class (small family cars). The Astra also achieved very good results for child protection: the five-door model was awarded four stars and 39 points.
The Astra comes standard with the extensive SAFETEC safety package, including shape-optimized thorax/pelvis side airbags in front. These complement the two front airbags and the head curtain airbags that stretch along the entire length of the interior in the left and right roof pillars. Both outer rear seats come with ISOFIX mountings for child seats as standard.
New chassis electronics
Top marks for agility, safety and comfort
The new edition of the Astra offers driving performance with pronounced agility and precise handling with a high level of driving safety. These qualities helped the Astra win numerous comparison tests by the European specialist press and in customer polls. The basis for this agility is the IDS (Interactive Driving System) chassis with McPherson front axle and patented torsion-beam rear axle. Every Astra comes standard with the Electronic Stability Program ESPPlus, Traction Control TCPlus, front and rear disk brakes, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Brake Assist and electro-hydraulic power steering.
An exceptional dimension of balance between driving comfort and active safety is once again provided by the optional adaptive IDSPlus chassis with electronic Continuous Damping Control (CDC). This integrated chassis control system, in which the control units and sensors of ESPPlus, ABS and CDC exchange data constantly, was introduced to the compact class for the first time in the Opel Astra. Owners also benefit from IDSPlus when it comes to driving fun: the sport mode is activated at the touch of a button, resulting in more direct suspension, steering and gas pedal response, as well as modified shift points in the automatic and Easytronic transmission variants for greater sportiness.
Enhanced Trailer Stability Assist prevents instability
The Opel Astra's chassis is already among one of the best in its class, but this was no reason for engineers to rest on their laurels. They found potential for improvement in details such as the control system for the Trailer Stability Assist (TSA). The newest generation of this safety system is available for the first time in this class as an option in the Astra five-door, GTC and station wagon models.
Compared to the earlier generation of TSA, real-time calculations are conducted more accurately and with greater sensitivity. This helps reduce instability in car-trailer combinations earlier and more effectively, as well as eliminating the risk of any abrupt emergency stopping situations in normal driving conditions which might disrupt the traffic behind. The cleverly devised system works together with the standard ESPPlus, recognizing possible trailer yaw movements and actively counteracting them with regulated braking. Be it swinging due to side wind, lane ruts, exaggerated maneuvering or too high speed, the control electronics have an answer for every eventuality. In the initial decisive reaction phase, TSA counters the swinging movements by braking either the left or right front wheel. Should this measure be insufficient, regulated braking is applied at all four wheels and engine output reduced.
Pioneer in curve light continues to lead the way
The Astra also leads the way when it comes to visibility and lighting. Opel was the first automaker in this vehicle class to offer Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL), a steering-linked headlamp system with bi-xenon headlamps, dynamic curve light function and adaptive highway light. The curve light turns the headlamps into the curve depending on speed and steering angle, increasing street illumination by up to 90 percent compared to fixed headlamps. At higher speeds along a straight path, an automatic beam width regulator prevents the light from blinding oncoming highway traffic, enabling the low beam lights to project further ahead.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he'll mark his 100th day in office with a "BIG" rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump hits 100 days on April 29 — next Saturday.
He tweeted about the rally this Saturday, saying that next week "I will be holding a BIG rally in Pennsylvania. Look forward to it!"
April 29 is also the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington.
Most presidents attend the event. Trump previously announced that he is boycotting this year's dinner to protest what he says is unfavorable coverage by the news media. His staff is also boycotting in a show of "solidarity" with the president.
Trump's campaign later announced that the rally will be held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg.

Children & Problematic Sexual Behavior
Both boys and girls might display sexual behavior problems and sexual abuse isn't necessarily a factor. Recognizing and responding to sexual behavior problems is important since research suggests a quarter to half of child sexual abuse involves children acting out on other children. This program will provide participants with an understanding of sexual behavior problems versus normal sexual development, and ways to respond. 2.5 – 3 hours.
Stewards of Children
This nationally recognized, best practice program uses videos, workbook activities and discussion to engage and educate about child sexual abuse and how to keep children safe. College students, working professionals, volunteers at child-serving organizations and other staff at agencies and community-based organizations learn that child sexual abuse knows no socio-economic, cultural or racial boundaries. Participants will learn how to develop practices to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. 2.5 – 3 hours.
Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children
This workshop on human trafficking provides a basic overview of commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), the extent of the problem and the impact this type of trauma has on children. It will also include tips for identifying and engaging victims and discussion of services victims need for healing and reintegration into mainstream society. 2.5 – 3 hours.
Children and Traumatic Stress
Child traumatic stress refers to the physical and emotional responses of a child to events that threaten the life of the child or of someone critically important to the child. Social workers, teachers, counselors and others that plan to work with children in other ways are invited to participate in this informative, program and learn what the impact is to a child's well-being. 2.5 – 3 hours.

A New Insight Into The Chiropractic Psychology of Healing
I just wanted to give a little insight as to the state of mind we are trying to attain from our patients to optimize the healing process. If you're thinking, " Does this guy think he's a clinical Psychologist." The answer to this question is no! But, after treating thousands of patients over the last 26 years I do realize the type of person that heals fast and the thinking and actions that slow or inhibit the process. Many times people have let their condition go on for many months till the condition forces you to deal with it.
Whether its just not taking the time to address the condition, denial of a problem, or the old "I thought it was going to go away". By the time they come in, its been several months or years and they may be afraid something bad is wrong with them. So fear or its little brother worry has come into their mind. Both are a stress to your mind which trickles down through your neuroendocrine system causing excessive tension and tightness into your musculoskeletal system. If you have a problem, this just makes it worse.
Here at Frostwood Chiropractic our first job is to take the fear and worry out of your mind by doing a thorough exam and diagnosing the nature of your condition. Once you know the nature of the condition and your worse fears are not realized, all the tension begins to come out of your body and mind. At times my patients are putting their body and mind through so much work stress that their body starts to shut them down. It has taken them into a state of dis-ease. We will show you exactly what is causing your symptoms through some diagnostic testing and give you an approach to correction of the condition. We even show you films (X-rays) of a similar case we have helped in the past.
The next step is having your first adjustment. It is explained thoroughly, what the doctor needs to do to restore the condition from that state of dis-ease. This is usually very comfortable and many times there is some degree of pain relief with the first treatment. Each visit will be pleasurable. You will receive therapies that reduce the symptoms and prepare the tissues and joints for the adjustment. You will be treated with a smile and a happy face because we are blessed that you have asked for our help.
The next step is to get you to focus your thoughts and actions into helping correct the problem. Many times you have created your own problem through inactivity, too much sitting at work, deconditioning and resulting loss or functional motion. Many patients try to play to get in shape instead of getting in shape to play. These weekend warriors stress joints and muscles without preparing them for the stresses of the playing. Once a week softball guy or pickup basketball guy are common examples.
Sometimes they have gotten overweight and the stress on your back or joints is too much for your body to overcome. Whatever the nature of the condition, this must be brought into your awareness so you can give mindful attention and take action to help yourself. Taking control over your thoughts and following them with the proper daily actions and then feeling the results of these actions propel you into an empowered state of mind where you take control of your healing. You can do it! And we can show you how.

Inside: Create a simple toddler thankful banner using colorful leaves, glue, and pom poms. A festive decoration to hang in the classroom! Comes with free printable labels.
Thanksgiving is the time to focus on what we are thankful for, but this can be hard for toddlers to grasp.
You might have already experienced asking them what they are thankful for and they look at you with a blank face and then move on to something else.
This can happen with 3 year olds as well.
There are simpler ways of working on thankfulness with young children, and this toddler thankful banner is an example.
Plus, it's a fun way to make a decoration for the fall!
👉 Note: I've provided free printable labels to go with this toddler thankful banner. You can find them towards the bottom of this post.
The idea to make this toddler thankful banner came from the friendship banner we made in September.
We all loved it so much that I wanted to make another banner for Thanksgiving!
How to Make a Toddler Thankful Banner for Thanksgiving
Watch the video:
What we used:
Leaves cut out of construction paper (printable towards bottom of this post)
Small colorful pom poms (or anything you'd like to use)
White washable glue tinted with some paint (see video below)
Labels ( printable towards bottom of this post)
Preparing this toddler thankful banner:
Cut leaves from construction paper.
Tint glue desired colors by adding a bit of tempera paint to the bottles.
You can see how it's done in this video:
Getting started:
Before starting this activity, we read some simple thankful books during circle time.
I then shared what made me happy.
And then I asked each of the children.
"Going to the park."
"My dog."
"Mommy and Daddy."
"Playing outside."
And then, it was time to invite the children to decorate a leaf.
I squirted colored glue on the leaf and the toddlers spread it around the paper leaf using a paintbrush.
Then, it was time to add the mini pom poms.
Notice in the photo below how the thumb and index finger are pinching the pom pom?
This is a wonderful way to work on those fine motor skills!
Once the children were finished adding their pom poms, I let them dry completely.
I then added the children's names on their leaves, punched a hole on either side of the leaves, and then joined them using brads.
I added the "We are Thankful" label in the middle of the banner.
And then I hung it in our classroom window.
I just love how you can see the same colors in the landscape on the other side of the window!
I love using my students' work to decorate our classroom!

If Leib Tropper were by some chance to segue into a career as a Jewish music singer, he'd better take care not to perform material that's too "creative," or dangerously approaching a vague similarity to "goyish" music. If he does, hoo-boy, he'll be in big trouble. In some corners of the frum world, the rabbinical establishment would come down on him like a ton of bricks. Cherems [bans] and kol korays [proclamations] would be flying. They'd have no choice you understand: the Jewish people's very status as an Am Kadosh V'tahor [a holy and pure nation] would be at stake. Children, even adults, would be in desperate danger of being led astray. Rabbinical leaders, no doubt, would stand up to be counted; weighing in on a life and death issue in which silence simply would not be an option.
Similarly, he'd be smart to not go into the human hair sheitel business, or author honest biographies of great modern sages, or open a Chareidi news website in Israel. A guy could get into a lot of trouble dabbling in such spiritually dangerous lines of work.
If Tropper decides to leave Monsey and relocate to the Five Towns, he'd better not start a blog. As a former "doer" — someone who made things happen in the Jewish world — the last thing we would want to see is for him to become a lowly blogger — some kind of journalistic bottom feeder with nothing better to do than to point out others' misdeeds.
No. A much smarter play by Tropper would be to keep doing exactly what he's doing right now. He should be a rosh yeshiva and the head of a Jewish outreach organization. Apparently, no one's going to say a word about that.
Even after being caught on tape in the worst, most compromising sort of way (see storyhere), he's still running his yeshiva in Monsey and heading a non-profit through which flows millions of dollars — millions that were the source of his power in the world of Orthodox conversions and (who knows?) may yet be again.
If you catch some zealot's ear the wrong way with Jewish music that isn't quite Jewish enough, you run the real risk of that someone making it his business to shut you down, put you out of business and simply break you — and all by rabbinical fiat; nice and kosher.
But Tropper is literally getting a free pass.
Are we the only ones taking crazy pills or does anyone else find it strange that virtually not a single prominent rabbinical figure outside the leadership of the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) — and they are hardly household names — has said a public word about the incredible scandal this man created? After years of instigating holier-than-thou controversies over conversions and other issues, funded by someone else's millions, Tropper was unmasked as the worst sort of hypocrite — he has denied nothing — and yet, he continues to go to the office each day and call himself a rosh yeshiva.
Really, this one takes the cake.
Jewish Star.
