The first day of school for a kid is quite scary. We must admit that generally, kids are not used to being separated from their parents or their guardians that a school environment where mom and dad cannot be inside the room is pretty scary for them.
Having to mingle with other kids, not bringing his toys with him, and following a set of rules are only a few of the things that make the first days and weeks in school difficult for your child. You have to be proactive in helping your child out by coming up with ways to make the pre-school bearable and fun for him.
As for the temporary caretakers of these children, their teachers and the whole institution itself, here are some equipment that you should have to keep children happy and safe while within the school premises.
Room air conditioner
Yes, this is something that you should buy first. If you're putting up a pre-school or kindergarten educational entity, you must be sure that the kids will be comfortable inside their classroom. Buy air conditioning units to save them from the hot and humid weather in Singapore. Hire professional contractors as well who provide aircon servicing Singapore for residential, commercial, and educational establishments.
Emergency Kit
Need I say more? Emergency kits with sufficient, if not overflowing, supply should always be present in every classroom. Kids, as we know them, are all hyper-active and a lot of things can happen when a lot of them are inside a single room. Should anything untoward happens, the teachers can rescue them right away using the emergency kit. It's also noteworthy that emergency kits should be inspected and replenished regularly.
Alarm Systems
When a situation is too tough to be handled by the preschool teacher, proper medical attention and even transportation should be available right away. This could only happen when alarm systems are in place to be used by a teacher to signal the appropriate people in school to give the needed aid. Alarm systems of different kinds should be in place for other reasons as well, such as intruders or violent and unmanageable kids.
Decorated tables and chairs
On the topic of kids' entertainment, it is imperative for kindergarten and pre-school institutions to have playful room equipment such as chairs and tables, to complement the nature of kids who study therein. These little ones are hard to discipline, but cute tables and chairs can help to make them stay, and to create an overall kid-appropriate ambiance inside the classrooms.
Educational Toys
A time to play is very vital in institutions like these. If you cannot stop kids from playing, then take control of the kinds of toys that they play with. There are so many educational toys available out there. Explore your choices in this technologically-advanced day and age.
A lot of storage boxes
Did we say a lot? Yes, there should be. Two or three storage boxes do not seem to be enough for a class o
f 15 students. Make it five so the ids can have separate boxes for different kinds of items. If you have arts and crafts subject, then there should be a separate storage box for that. There must be a separate storage for toys as well. Imagine the variety of things that kids could be interested with and you'll have the right perspective about the number of storage boxes they'll need.

What is your personal record? What personal records do you hold in your life? In your career? On the race course? After all, your biggest competition is always yourself.
Public relations is about how people perceive you or your company. PR reveals what your character says about you and how you act and handle yourself in pressured situations… Running is a lot like this too. Running reveals your character. Are you going to get up at 5AM to train even when you are tired? Are you going to head to the gym after a long and difficult day? Are you going to pick up the pace when your legs are screaming at you to stop?
Running and public relations have a lot in common — and that's probably why I have found a love for both.
My name is Cassandra Holloway (formally my maiden name was Beck) and I am a communications professional in Cleveland. I am a proud graduate of Kent State University. (Go Flashes!) I work for a world class healthcare system and I LOVE my job. I get to market incredible healthcare that helps to change lives not only in Ohio, but across the world.
I've been an athlete all my life. I grew up chasing my two older brothers around and trying to be "one of the boys". I can remember getting off the bus in grade school and going for a quick run around my neighborhood. It was probably only .2 miles, but even back then I can still remember how great it made me feel. I grew up listening to my dad get up at 4:30AM most days to go teach class at our local gym (so I learned this was a normal behavior, haha!) I also played junior Olympic volleyball and competitive fast pitch softball for 12 years. As you can tell, fitness and being active has always been a central point of my life. My mom jokes that as a child "sports saved me" because I had a bad temper and couldn't express my feelings. She said that sports gave me an outlet to work out my emotions and they saw a big change in my behavior after that. (I still think this is very true to this day and why fitness is just in my lifestyle.) After high school I started running regularly because it still made me feel like an athlete and I was desperately missing the familiarity of organized sports. I remember the first time I ran 4 miles straight one afternoon in college and I felt like a god! (LOL!) Slowly I began to do 5Ks, then 10Ks and then finally I conquered my first half marathon. From there I only became more competitive and I always wanted to push myself to see what else I could do. In 2013 I ran my first full marathon and in 2016 I ran my fourth. After a few marathons I began to wonder 'What's next'?
In 2014, I began to venture into the world of triathlon. I competed in dozens of sprint and Olympic distance races and then decided to conquer my first Half Ironman Triathlon. (Ironman 70.3 Ohio in 2016.) Training for the Half Ironman was one of my favorite times in my life. I was so scared, but also so excited. It was new, exciting and emotional, but I loved every second. It was a journey that taught me so much and when I crossed the 70.3 mile finish line I thought to myself "This can't be the end of this journey. Not yet at least."
With shaking hands and the urge to throw up — I registered for Ironman Lake Placid 2017. For six months I trained for the 140.6 mile race. If I thought Half Ironman training changed my life, it was nothing compared to full Ironman training. Training was a roller coaster of emotions that made me feel so alive and present. It forced me out of my comfort zones, made me make new friends and made me feel so dang lucky and happy to be alive. Training for an Ironman is truly a life-changing journey. On July 23, 2017 I became an Ironman. [14:43] Lake Placid is a place where dreams come true and it was everything I had imagined the moment and day would be. Next to my wedding day it was my second favorite day of all time. Read my Ironman Lake Placid race report.
[For full Ironman training I followed the Intermediate Plan from "Be Iron Fit".]
Finding the sport of triathlon has forced me out of my comfort zone more times than I can count, has allowed me to still feel like an athlete and has given me the chance to meet so many amazing and inspiring people. Triathletes are a different breed for sure, but it's awesome to find people out there who don't believe a 140.6 mile goal is unrealistic. (Crazy yes, but it's a mutually understood type of "crazy".)
When people make comments about how ridiculous 140.6 miles is or ask me why I'd even want to attempt something like it, I smile and say "If you have to ask why, you'll never know." And I honestly, truly believe this with my whole heart.
It's the rally of the human spirit. It's conquering the challenge ahead of you. It's saying yes when everyone else is saying no. It's proving to yourself that you can start and finish something bigger than yourself. It's getting the chance when others don't have it. It's about chasing a dream that few people are called to do. It's living life fearlessly, and I hope you'll be inspired to live your life like that too!
More About Me
I got married to my husband, AJ, on August 29, 2015. Hands down it is one of my favorite days ever. From the weather, to my amazing and supportive friends, to seeing my husband for the first time as I walked down the church aisle. The day was completely magically. (Read more about our wedding.) My husband is incredibly supportive of my dreams. He always puts me first and I strive to be more like him. He's so amazing and supportive that the minute I walk through the door exhausted from training, he grabs my bike, helps me take off my compression socks and starts making me food. How lucky am I?! (Trust me I KNOW.) I am constantly flipping out and worrying about things and he is the voice of reason and the calm one in our relationship. I swear the man doesn't stress about a thing and constantly has a smile on his face.
He popped the question in front of my entire family, so naturally he's very brave. We met at Kent State, which is funny because I always said I wanted to meet my husband in college! (We met while out at a bar one night – so romantic, I know.) My husband is a MMA fighter and loves the UFC.
AJ and I also really enjoy traveling together. Our goal is to visit all 50 states together one day!
Even MORE About Me
I am extremely close with my parents and two older brothers. I have always thought my parents were hilarious and awesome. I have three adorable nephews, Jacob, Alex and Grayson. For some reason Jacob's parents trusted me to be his Godmother 🙂 which is actually something I adore. I have also been lucky enough to "inherit" three beautiful nieces as part of my husband's family. There's McKenzie and twin girls Amelia and Janae. Being the "favorite" aunt is something I take great pride in and a task I take very seriously 😉
I have had the same group of girlfriends for 18 years. We met in grade school and our moms instantly became best friends as well. (It's all really quite adorable.) Of course I also had awesome friends in college too, which reminds me. When did we become old enough to have babies and get married? Time runs fast my friends!
I am a coffee and wine lover. Nothing is better than getting together with the girls over said wine. I love to be up early in the mornings, but hate the part about actually physically getting out of bed. I get crabby when I eat too much junk food or go more than a few days without working out. I love fashion and looking cute, but I think I love sweatpants and leggings more. You can catch me at the gym at 6AM listening to gangsta rap and drinking an extra large cup of coffee afterwards!

What's more of a mystery is exactly HOW to set the mood and make that experience memorable for everyone that's involved. Imagine going to a concert that had a sound system that only the first 20 rows could hear, or to a romantic dinner that was as bright as the sun in July.

It is hard to believe that Deeper Water is only Jessie Cole's second novel. Her prose is assured and graceful as she expands the ripples of a stranger's arrival ever wider across a remote New South Wales community. Cole explores issues of family, identity and environment in a story that swells slowly but surely towards overflowing its banks.
Mema's family have always been on the outskirts, both physically and emotionally. She now lives alone with her mother, with brothers and fathers conspicuously absent. The two women exist in a simple, silent routine, carrying out farmyard duties on their property, until a car runs off a bridge in a flood. Mema is forced to expand her horizons beyond her innocent, rustic lifestyle. We develop an intimate understanding of this naïve, gentle and caring individual who discovers a depth of feeling within herself that she never thought possible.
This is a novel of truth, power and beauty, soaked through with a lush sense of a place that is truly Cole's own. It is the best Australian book I've read this year; sensual, evocative and broad in scope, it is definitely one to lose yourself in.

You may have a hot body, but there is no gym for that face. It appears if you have a 6 pack in this town, you have the world by the balls. Unlike most of the butterface bloggers (with the bodies), if a vein is popping out, or if I am swollen, you will find me at the hospital. Luckily for me there is a gym for my body, cause the face is swole.
Gym Bag Necessities:
- Men's Health Magazine: I like to read the latest workout trends. I never really implicate them, but it makes me feel healthy reading them.
- Evian: I am one of those people who are brand loyal when it comes to water.
- Lululemon Mat: In New York there was an outbreakt of bed bugs at a gym that spread from the communal mats...No thanks, I'll bring my own.
- Deodarant: Duh
- Backpack: I don't remember where I found this bag, but it is perfect to lug around and throw in the nasty gym lockers without any emotional attachment.
- Quest Bars: These are life. They taste great and they are low calorie, low carb, and high protein.
- Shoes: These are the original Nike Fly-knit Oreos...at the time these were harder to get than the Yeezys. They are my favorites.
- Sweatshirt / Hat: Gotta keep it cute no matter where you are, right?
- Beats By Dre: These are the best. I can't workout without them.

Pauline Dakin spent her childhood on the run. Twice her family quietly disappeared, moving thousands of miles away. Many years later, her mother finally revealed they'd been running from the Mafia and were receiving protection from a covert anti-organized crime task force.
But the truth was even more bizarre. As she revisits her past, Dakin uncovers the human capacity for betrayal and deception, and the power of love to forgive. Run, Hide, Repeat is a memoir of a childhood steeped in unexplained fear and menace. As compelling and twisted as a thriller, Run, Hide, Repeat is an unforgettable portrait of a family under threat and the resilience of family bonds.

It's easy to forget that fabrics can be complex, technical in design, and created to help augment an industry's textile needs. For example, medical grade vinyl is a specialty textile created specifically for the healthcare industry; it's a type of fabric that is treated to be antimicrobial, flame retardant, and resistant to common odor and liquid contaminants.

Did you know that sportswear, gauze, bed linen, mattresses, and even curtains can be made into antimicrobial fabrics? In fact, there are a variety of uses for antimicrobial fabrics, especially in medical bedding. You may not notice it but when you go to the hospital, your doctor's office, or a clinic, you're pretty much surrounded by antimicrobial fabrics.
Topics: Antimicrobial Fabrics, Medical Bedding, Healthcare Textiles, antimicrobial Fabric protection, Curtain Fabric
When we think of beds, we associate them with comfort and a good night's rest. But when we're sick or ill and we have to stay at a hospital, we think of beds in a whole new light. What are they made of? How can a hospital bed help a patient?
Topics: Antimicrobial Fabrics, Medical Bedding, bedsores, antimicrobial Fabric protection, Medical Mattress
The U.S. Congress and CPSC enacted 16 CFR Part 1633, the Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets; Final Rule which took effect July 1, 2007. The statute requires mattress makers to incorporate fire barrier fabrics, which are flame-resistant and self-extinguishing when a flame source is removed, into the manufacture of their bedding products.
Designed to be integrated into a mattress by forming a layer between the exterior mattress tick and the interior support cushion, fire barrier fabrics work like this:
Topics: Medical Bedding, Dormitory mattress, Mattress Fires, 16 CFR Part 1633
Pressure management mattresses have been a staple in the healthcare industry for generations with the aim of helping the elderly and bed-ridden sleep, rest and live more comfortably and the quality of this equipment has dramatically changed and improved over the past 20 years.
Topics: Medical Bedding, Healthcare Textiles, bedsores, antimicrobial Fabric protection, bariatric beds
The combination of a good bariatric bed, the proper linens, and the high quality medical fabrics associated with support surface construction, namely the Sure-Chek line from Herculite Products, can prove instrumental to the comfort and recovery of bariatric patients. Sure-Check Healthcare fabrics offer many attributes supportive of the needs and therapy of bariatric patients in your practice.

Pressure management ulcer prevention as well as prevention of other superficial skin injuries is a vital aspect of inpatient hospital care. 70% of pressure ulcers are manageable by providing pressure management beds. This means that there is an ongoing demand for pressure management mattresses in the U.S. opening up a large growth potential for your company.
Topics: Antimicrobial Fabrics, Medical Bedding, Healthcare Textiles, antimicrobial Fabric protection, Medical Mattress
A hospital bed can either be useful piece of medical equipment or a patient's worst nightmare. When properly cleaned and maintained, patients can comfortably rest on it and are better able to recover. The problem starts when risk managers fail to check healthcare facilities such as medical beddings. Not having the right fabric on a hospital mattress, for instance, can cause preventable pressure-related ulcers or bedsores.

Getting Organized/
Warhammer 40K – Following through with one of my resolutions, I've begun organizing my space marine army. I've found that when dealing with a large number of models like this it's best to organize what you have to develop a plan of action. I've assembled, primed and base coated most of my models. When working with GW stuff I tend to put a quick base coat on every model after they've been assembled. It's a habit I developed from playing in 40K events years ago. The old (maybe still in effect?) rule was a model had to have at least 3 colors on it to participate in an event. While this works fine to avoid having grey or black models on the tabletop it slows the process for finishing models. From a distance base coated models look ok and it's easy to slack off and never finish them (hence this huge cabinet of half finished models).
After sorting through the models I have built and re-reading numerous source books I'm only one squad of tactical marines short of having a full company. Of course in addition to the standard company I have numerous squads that would be part of other companies or support units. Rather than attempt to build an entire chapter I think I'm going to flesh out the captains of each company and reuse the basic components when I want. To keep this flexibility I'm not using the codex company color identifiers, this keeps this fluid and will also allow me to use multiple codexes depending on what I feel like fielding.
Reading through the Blood Angel codex I think this will be the basis for at least one of my companies. Using that book gives you numerous possibilities for varying your force and shoehorning in some of the traits that were left out of the current marine codex.

ProFlares ships with a number of example atlases, but your free to create your own. The only requirement is an image texture that contains your flare elements. A ProFlaresAtlas stores the definition of each of these elements which is used to render the flares efficiently. You can either import each element's definition from a texture packer text file or create them manually.
The first step is to create the ProFlareAtlas asset.
A ProFlareAtlas is basically a prefab, to create one first create an empty GameObject.
Rename it what ever you wish to call your atlas. Then add a ProFlaresAtlas component.
Next drag your texture to the open slot on the ProFlaresAtlas.
Now drag the FlareAtlas game object from the hierarchy to the project to create the prefab. You can now delete the one from the hierarchy and just work on the prefab in the project window. Then save the project to write all asset changes to disk.
Now you are free to to either import
your texture atlas information from texture packer. By dragging the text file created by texture packer onto the import field.
If you choose to manually assign your elements, Click the 'Add new' button. You can now edit the new element, use the guides to help you line up the centre of the element. Then adjust the width and height to define the size. It's always a good idea to assign a name to the element for future reference.
Once an atlas is assigned to a flare you are still free to edit the atlas, but it is worth noting that some modifications that might break your flares. Renaming a flare that has been manually added will cause any flare using the element to lose its reference and will need to be reassigned.
If you wish to update an atlas that has been imported via texture packer. You can just drag the updated text file onto the import field to update the elements. If an element no longer exists in the imported text file it will be removed. Any flare elements that used the removed element will need to be reassigned.

India's top veterinary university: Ludhiana's GADVASU ranked by ICAR as best
The ICAR initiated ranking of universities and research institutions with the objective of improving the standard of higher agricultural education in tune with the global scenario.education Updated: Jul 29, 2017 20:08 IST
Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU), Ludhiana, has been ranked first among the 14 state veterinary universities in the country, as per the ranking of agricultural universities and research institutes conducted by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi, for 2016-17.
The ICAR initiated ranking of universities and research institutions with the objective of improving standards of higher agricultural education in tune with the global scenario.
The ranking was based on several parameters, including student and faculty profile, student placements, research publications and citations, patents, technologies generated and transferred to farmers, resource generated and linkages.
GADVASU vice-chancellor Dr Amarjit Singh Nanda applauded the achievement and congratulated the faculty, staff and students for their dedication and devotion in serving the institution as well as the farming and veterinary community.
He said in a short period of 11 years since 2006, GADVASU had grown rapidly and made significant contributions in livestock research, teaching and extension.
While sharing this achievement Dr Nanda said the university had signed bilateral memoranda of understanding (MoU) with 50 national and more than 10 international agencies to promote and strengthen research programme in veterinary, dairy and fisheries sectors.

Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi lashed out at cricketer-turned-MP Gautam Gambhir for suggesting that India should forfeit its match against Pakistan in the upcoming World Cup. Addressing a press conference on Saturday, the 44-year-old called Gambhir 'foolish' and also said that the citizens of India voted for a candidate who lacks wisdom.
On being asked about Gambhir's suggestion, Afridi said, "Do you think it is sensible what Gautam Gambhir has said? Does this look like something which a sensible person would say? Do educated people talk like this?"
He also questioned what kind of people elected Gambhir an MP. Gambhir was elected from the East Delhi seat.

In the wake of the Pulwama terror attack in February this year, several cricketers – including Gambhir – urged the government to cut all cricketing ties with Pakistan, including the game against Pakistan in the World Cup. India is presently scheduled to play Pakistan on June 16 at the Old Trafford in Manchester, and there's no indication that the Indian team will not play the match.
In his recently released autobiography 'Game Changer', Afridi had taken a dig on the former India opener and accused him of having an 'attitude problem'.
"Some rivalries were personal, some professional. First the curious case of Gambhir. Oh poor Gautam. He and his attitude problem. He who has no personality. He who is barely a character in the great scheme of cricket. He who has no great records just a lot of attitude," Afridi wrote in his book.
However, Gambhir responded saying that he would personally take Afridi to a psychiatrist.
@SAfridiOfficial you are a hilarious man!!! Anyway, we are still granting visas to Pakistanis for medical tourism. I will personally take you to a psychiatrist.

Afridi on dropped Pakistani seamer Junaid Khan
On being asked about Junaid Khan's reaction to being dropped from the 15-member Pakistan squad, Afridi said that the seamer's method of protest was wrong, but he would have done the same.
"In my opinion, what Junaid did was not right, there was no need to do that you can protest while remaining silent as well," Afridi said.
"But probably I would have done the same if I was at his place. He has a lot of cricket left in him. Obviously, he was disappointed since this would have been his first World Cup and I think management should have handled it in a better way," he said.

Hours after being dropped from the Pakistan World Cup squad, fast bowler Junaid Khan took a dig at the country's cricket board by tweeting a picture of himself with his lips covered with tape and wrote that 'truth is bitter.' However, the 29-year-old cricketer later deleted his tweet.
The Pakistan Cricket Board selected 33-year-old Wahab Riaz ahead of Khan for the World Cup squad.

Chase Stuart writes about the historical and statistical side of football at his site, FootballPerspective.com
Pete Rozelle dreamed of a parity-filled league in which any team could win on a given Sunday. If alive today, the former N.F.L. commissioner would surely smile at how the 2012 season has started. Half of the league's 32 teams have 2-3, 3-3 or 3-2 records, just the third time since 1970 that the league was so tightly packed after six weeks.
Only in 2001 — the year New England became one of the unlikeliest Super Bowl champions — were more teams (17) within a half-game of .500 after six weeks. The last two seasons, roughly two-thirds of the teams had at least two more wins than losses or losses than wins. But the first third of the 2012 season has been among the most unpredictable stretches in modern N.F.L. history. Consider: Underdogs are 57-32-2 against the spread this year, the second-highest rate after six weeks in 35 seasons.
Since 1978, underdogs have won just over 50 percent of games against the spread during the first six weeks of a season, and only in 1999 did underdogs fare better than they have this year. Underdogs are 40-51 in games this season, the first time in N.F.L. history that after six weeks, 40 underdogs have won games outright.
In the A.F.C., as noted last week, parity is just a euphemism for mediocrity.
In August, the New England Patriots were the favorites to win the Super Bowl; in mid-October, they're a 3-3 team with a pass defense that is allowing 7.5 net yards per pass attempt and a pass offense that's averaging only 6.9 NY/A. The Patriots were everyone's choice to win the A.F.C. East, and there was similar unanimity that Miami would occupy the division's cellar. Right now, all four teams in the division are 3-3, with Miami having the longest winning streak — at two games.
The Pittsburgh Steelers won 12 games and led the league in points allowed in three of the last four seasons before 2012. This year, Pittsburgh is 2-3 and ranks in the bottom half of the league in points allowed, as an aging defense has been the team's Achilles' heel.
Last year's surprise team in the conference was the Cincinnati Bengals, who built on that success by starting this year 3-1… before promptly losing consecutive games as favorites in Weeks 5 (Miami) and 6 (Cleveland).
The Tennessee Titans looked to be one of the worst teams in the league entering Week 6 but emerged with an upset win over Pittsburgh.
The Indianapolis Colts appeared to have "arrived" following a come-from-behind victory over Green Bay, only to have been pronounced dead on arrival by halftime in their game against the previously hapless Jets.
A few days ago, the Houston Texans were considered the best team in the league at 5-0, but on Sunday, the Texans lost to… the Packers, who couldn't even beat the Colts last week, who couldn't beat the Jets this week, who couldn't beat… Houston last week.
The Kansas City Chiefs lost a nailbiter, 9-6, to the Ravens last week, but were blown out by Tampa Bay, 38-10, on Sunday.
The Oakland Raiders had been outscored by 15 points per game entering a Week 6 date in Atlanta, home of the only undefeated team in the league. Shockingly — or in 2012 parlance, as expected — Oakland led most of the game, losing only in the final seconds on a 55-yard field goal.
On Monday Night, the 3-2 San Diego Chargers hosted the 2-3 Broncos, so obviously Denver won after San Diego raced out to a 24-0 halftime lead. The Broncos became the first team to trail by 24 or more points at halftime and win by double digits.
The N.F.C. may have the more talented teams, but it is not immune from the parity virus.
Last year, the Giants swept the Dallas Cowboys, stealing the N.F.C. East in the process en route to another Super Bowl championship. In the season opener, Dallas went on the road and upset New York, a sign that the ghosts of 2011 were behind them. Six weeks later, the Cowboys are last in the division while the Giants are first, although New York is 0-2 in the division.
The Philadelphia Eagles became the first team to start a season 2-0 with consecutive one-point victories; they have since lost three of their last four, but the one win was over… the Giants.
The Green Bay Packers went 15-1 last season, but started this year 2-3. After winning in Houston on Sunday night, however, they now are simultaneously league average and in possession of one of the most impressive victories of the season.
The N.F.C. North is a confusing division. The Detroit Lions were the breakout team in the N.F.C. in 2011 but started this year 1-4; the Minnesota Vikings, with a 4-1 start, appeared to take the mantle as the breakout team of 2012. Then on Sunday, the Lions won (Philadelphia) and the Vikings lost (Washington), although that may have just been the side effect of close encounters with the N.F.C. East.
Drew Brees and the 2011 Saints were Super Bowl contenders, as Brees set league records in completion percentage and passing yards. In 2012, New Orleans started the season 0-4, and Brees — who led the league in completion percentage in 2009, 2010 and 2011 — ranks 23rd in that metric so far this season.
Cam Newton helped turn the Carolina Panthers into one of the most exciting offenses in the N.F.C. in 2011; the Panthers have scored just 92 points this year, fewest in the conference.
The Atlanta Falcons won 43 games between 2008 and 2011, but no playoff games, causing experts to question how good the Falcons really were. It appears Atlanta is planning to go 16-0 this year out of spite.
But the topsy-turvy nature of the N.F.L. is epitomized by the plight of the N.F.C. West. From 2002 to 2011, the division had by far the worst record in football. In nonconference games over that decade, the N.F.C. West had an anemic 0.378 winning percentage, well behind the second-worst N.F.C. North (0.462 wining percentage).
In 2008, the division hit rock bottom, going 10-30 against the rest of the N.F.L. The next year, Arizona, St. Louis, Seattle and San Francisco went just 12-28 in nondivision games, and in 2010, they inched up to 13-27 against non-N.F.C. West foes. This year, the Cardinals and the Seahawks have already beaten the mighty Patriots, while the 49ers embarrassed the Bills and Jets in consecutive weeks. Parity still exists here — in Week 6, those same Bills beat the Cardinals, who are now 4-2 after a 4-0 start, and the 49ers inexplicably were dominated at home against the Giants on Sunday — but the division now appears to be the best in football. The St. Louis Rams went 15-65 from 2007 to 2011, the worst five-year stretch in N.F.L. history. This year? The Rams are 3-3. Like just about everyone else. Rozelle would be happy.

So, as you can see, the organ has some serious image problems. And, as something that has developed over an extended period of time, it will take some time to reverse this decline in esteem within the musical community. Although every situation has its mitigating circumstances, for the most part organists and organ builders have been largely responsible for their plight through their self induced isolation and intransigence. Now, it's granted that in past the organ's principal function has been liturgical; and it should continue to furnish this vital commission for the church in the future. Nevertheless, as the world becomes more secular, and with the church relying more and more on pandering through lowest common denominator pop music in its desperate quest for increased numbers, the organ has become progressively marginalised. A definite imperative is required here in order to make the organ and organ music vital to the church again. Needless to say, that won't happen if we continue to produce organists who are themselves marginalised by means of this continued refusal to apply an imaginative, extroverted approach to liturgical music. Like it or not, people nowadays want to be entertained. With that in mind organists, if they are capable, have the opportunity to accomplish what no guitar player, drummer, electronic keyboardist, miked singer, any cheesy combination thereof, or even a classically trained pianist can do: and that is, both viscerally excite (entertain) and legitimately move the spirit through the power, dynamic and colouristic versatility of the instrument at their disposal, even if it's only a seven rank Estey. But organists have to — they must — come out of that shell if the organ is to return to its rightful place as the primary non-vocal musical instrument of worship.
Notwithstanding, the organ world needs to come to terms with reality and look beyond the church. For the larger classical music audience greater focus on the organ as a concert instrument needs to be done. However, that can only be achieved with the kind of training that instils in the organist that fearless passion and desire to communicate to an audience with which other secular concert musicians are imbued . Nowadays modern technology has made the ability to focus on being primarily, even exclusively, a concert organist much more feasible. A serious organist can now purchase a good two to three manual authentic sounding electronic organ for roughly the equivalent of a quality upright or baby grand piano. Even the speakers are less problematic since technology has greatly reduced the size needed to effectively produce the low notes for the pedal. More and more an aspiring concert organist will become less and less dependent upon the kindness of clergy and ignorant, petty church committees or administrators and territorial organists to be able to practise regularly. As serious music in the church dies, the organ does not have to die with it.
As much fun as I've had chiding Academia, they really aren't to blame — at least not fully. Musicology, like any history based discipline, has profoundly influenced us, expanding our knowledge of the world from which we have evolved, and has given us considerable insight into how things were done in the past. This knowledge however, is only useful if it is applied in a manner to which modern society can relate. The danger is when this historical knowledge changes from perspective to dogma. In recent years musicologists have learned, in their hit-or-miss fashion, that a lot of the dogma to which they had subscribed wasn't quite so black and white. For example, string players have learned that vibrato was actually a part of 18th possibly 17th Century performance; maybe not as broadly or consistently used as the late 19th Century and later, but, there nonetheless. So, playing Bach and Co. with little extra colour does not have to be eschewed as had been thought. Again historical insight makes for a good jumping off point; but alas, we live in the 21st, not the 18th Century.
The glory of it all is that the organ by the shear magnificence of its presence can't help but impress. Visually as compelling as the architectural wonders, both secular and sacred, in which the organ is often housed, tonally and sonically as great as or even greater than a symphony orchestra, it really should be a no brainer to make a performance of the music emanating from those pipes one of the most moving experiences in a person's life. And occasionally that happens — just not enough. The various attempts to attract new people, such as Pipe Organ Encounters simply attract kids who are already predisposed to the organ. Events like Pedals, Pipes and Pizza may have had a certain novelty when initially conceived; but not unlike nuns with guitars singing "Folk Mass" they were never terribly successful largely because they always seemed a little insincere, and now just seem hokey and contrived. Again, people (especially nowadays with our celebrity conscious society) want to be entertained. That in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing. Most of us who were initially attracted to that which we love (a person, work of art, movie, piece of music, etc.) were almost always drawn in by something visceral about the source of that attraction. It doesn't necessarily have to be visual; but, again in our highly visually oriented society, it "can't hoit" to appeal to the ear through the eye. Virgil Fox understood, and his audiences (made up of mostly of non-organists, whether he was doing his "Heavy Organ" programme or a "straight" recital) obviously appreciated that fact; And that's the point. As successful as Mr. Fox was one can only imagine how much more effective he might have been if the organ "establishment" had embraced his dynamism instead vilified it. But, the organ world remains obdurate. Hence the case of Cameron Carpenter. The acting and dressing like a rock musician and essentially biting the hand that has fed him with his berating the organ world, pipe organs and most organ music, smacks of more than a little disingenuousness; but, it makes for great press. A little controversy goes a long way to keeping some one or some thing in the public's consciousness; and for the organ, that can only help. As his manager Richard Torrence (who was Virgil Fox's manager) reminded me the other day, Mr. Carpenter is the first organist since Fox died — that is, in 30 years! — to generate so much exictment about the organ in the concert hall.
Because, ultimately as I stated at the beginning of this series, it's not the instrument that the problem — quite the contrary, in fact — as it is the performer. If or when the organ world eventually crawls out from behind its agoraphobic, self-effacing, virtually moribund state and recognises that there is bright shining dynamic concert world out there: that their wondrous instrument in the hands of serious yet dynamic, extroverted personalities such as Fox was and currently Paul Jacobs, Josh Perschbacher, Cameron Carpenter, and a handful of others can, shall, will reclaim its rightful place on the throne of the musical kingdom.

We also rather love it when non-economists, but people expert in other fields, try to tell us about matters outside their own area of expertise and inside economics. And here we have Mark Buchanan, a physicist, and a good one to boot, who would tell us about the economic and regulatory impact of Artificial Intelligence. Stepping off one's area of expertise is a dangerous thing:
Humanity has a method for trying to prevent new technologies from getting out of hand: explore the possible negative consequences, involving all parties affected, and come to some agreement on ways to mitigate them.
Well, no, humanity doesn't do that and never has done. In that universe where things are planned, possibly, but that isn't the one we inhabit nor have we ever done. No one did say that the Spinning Jenny was going to free up women from that household labour so they should be paying the inventor. Many were aware that being in charge of a half tonne of metal while intoxicated could be a problem but it was 1925 before the previous laws about steam engines were extended to cars. It was 1934 before even the most basic compotentcy tests were applied to those who could drive even sober.
We don't, and never have, sat down and argued out the costs and benefits of a new technology. What we have done instead is those technologies which have spread, seem useful, ponder on whether they need some regulation, after that popularity and general usage is established.
And of course there can be no other way in a market economy. We do not wish ethicists, philosophers, bootleggers or bandits, politicians or bureaucrats to tell us what we may try. Rather, we want to be able to try everything and only if actual harm to others is proven then perhaps ameliorate this.
People use laws, social norms and international agreements to reap the benefits of technology while minimizing undesirable things like environmental damage. In aiming to find such rules of behavior, we often take inspiration from what game theorists call a Nash equilibrium, named after the mathematician and economist John Nash. In game theory, a Nash equilibrium is a set of strategies that, once discovered by a set of players, provides a stable fixed point at which no one has an incentive to depart from their current strategy.
Sure, Nash is great, and far brighter than you or we, probably more so than us all collectively. But that's still not what we do:
But what if technology becomes so complex and starts evolving so rapidly that humans can't imagine the consequences of some new action? This is the question that a pair of scientists -- Dimitri Kusnezov of the National Nuclear Security Administration and Wendell Jones, recently retired from Sandia National Labs -- explore in a recent paper. Their unsettling conclusion: The concept of strategic equilibrium as an organizing principle may be nearly obsolete.
But we never have done and hopefully never will do. That market is the process of exploration. So we never do say "What do we do if?" rather, we say "We've found that people like this!" and then consider if anyone has been hurt, are their public goods from it, externalities?
Or as we should put it, sure, many things need regulation, many things don't. Nash Equilibriums should be found, most certainly. But this is something we do after the deployment of a technology, not before. For if we have to have this discussion first then what new technology would ever be deployed?
This error is what people mean by the precautionary principle of course, and it's why it's wrong.

Falke mains: unite and share your tech!
Amidst the Street Fighter V Season 3 roster, newcomer Falke — along with her non-directional command system (shared with Ed) — didn't seem to make a very big splash on the competitive scene. But Ed's Neo-Shadaloo compatriot still has plenty of admirers of her unique in-game abilities — among them TCOL|Bedtimebuddy, who has invited fellow Falke fans to pore over his match footage, kicking off "Falke University" or, in short (of course…) "FU"!
The goal here is not to provide a tutorial for those starting out with the character (those aren't too hard to find, try this if you're just picking her up), but to create a space to work on refining the higher-level gameplay for the character through player discussion. According to Bedtimebuddy: "Falke University is not me teaching you guys Falke, it's a playlist of videos
where we share information teaching each other Falke." Sign up for FU by checking out the videos below.

We Stand for Strength
by Sarah Wilson
by Sarah Wilson
My mom has never tried to convince me to do things her way – or even that there is a "right way" to do anything at all. And still, I often find myself trying so hard to be just like her. She worked part time as my three siblings and I grew up and made attending track meets, school plays, and soccer games a top priority throughout my childhood. She worked, but my perspective as a kid based on the way she prioritized her time was that being a mom was her job.
I had a very happy childhood thanks to the way I was raised. So when I had my son I thought, "I'll just be like my mom and my kids will be happy too". I felt compelled to do as my mom had done because that's what I thought of as the recipe for a "good mom".
The only problem is, I'm not made of the same stuff my mom is made of. I started my own business in my late 20's. When I found out I was pregnant, I had just signed a lease on my new office/studio. I was diving headfirst into motherhood and running a business at the same time. Dilemma: how can I be just like my mom if I'm not just like my mom?Read More
I had a lot of great conversations this week, as I do most weeks, regarding the growth of Fashletics. I spoke with gym owners, marketing firms, resellers, designers, bloggers, and more. I love this. I love that running a business has created so many opportunities for new relationships. People, generally speaking, are awesome. Especially people who are passionate about spreading the message of health and well being.
However, it is entirely possible that the most important conversation I had this week was with... my mom. This is because in the midst of all of these amazing conversations, and while building new relationships with these incredible people that will help grow Fashletics - my son got sick. I am still a new enough mom that when my little guy gets sick, I have the insatiable urge to stop the world from spinning until he is better. But I can't do that. I need to take care of him and accept that the clock keeps running, which means I also need to remain attentive to my business, to my own health, and to my household.
My inability to stop time is what prompted the call to my mom. I was overwhelmed (not the first time) so I called her on my way home from an abbreviated day at work where many tasks were left undone. "Who can do this? Who can do all of this?" I asked. I avoid the words "I can't." I don't want to hear them leave my mouth. I don't even want to be thinking them. So instead I ask "Who can?" How is this done? Tell me how to do it all and I will.Read More

Osage Orange Color Changes
Forum Responses
From contributor V:
I just finished an executive desk out of that ugly wood. Man, I hate working with that stuff. It's mostly UV related. I have a bowl that was turned out of it in the showroom window and the bottom still has some of the yellow color, but the top is brown even though it was finished.
Take note that whatever you use to fill any nail holes, cracks, etc. will also need to be able to change color or they will be more upset about that in the future. I mixed fine sifted sanding dust with the lacquer that was used as a finish for all the filling. The two best suggestions I can make is to keep some aged wood on hand to show the client to avoid complications down the road, and second is to use UV additive in the finish to help slow down the process.
From contributor H:
Thanks for your input. I've also made some inquiries from other folks who work with this wood, and the consensus seems to be that it is caused by exposure to light more than exposure to air. I think I'll try to work out a way to accelerate the color change so the pieces I display and sell will have already arrived at their final color. And If I do find a procedure that arrests the color change, I'll let everyone know.
From contributor J:
You should do a test with a waterbased finish with UV inhibitors. They tend to keep wood looking more like it does without the finish and they generally will not amber with age.

San Antonio CPS responded and after three fuses and a new transformer Goro was back in business around 2PM...so much for the lunch rush. While a lunch without power would stress most restaurant owners Goro knows how to go with the flow. Me? I ended up with a nice picture story...and a tuna fish sandwich back at work.

Power(less) Lunch?
A few weeks ago I dropped by my favorite sushi place, Godai Sushi, for lunch and since everyone was sitting outside I figured something interesting was going on. More frustrating than interesting it turned out as they had lost power.

Leon Springs Traffic & Pizza?
A couple of weeks ago an optimistic driver towing a huge propeller blade, soon to be attached to a West Texas wind farm motor, tried to fit under the Fair Oaks overpass at I-10W. Apparently the load was taller than the driver of the lead car was aware of (you gotta think someone is measuring this stuff, right?) and physics pretty much took over. End result...overpass closed for a couple of months and all traffic to Boerne Stage now essentially travels through downtown Leon Springs.
Well, I regularly eat pizza at a little place called Fralo's (in preparation for the Leon Springs sumo competition). Fralo's is located right after the west bound exit to Leon Springs, so we pass the time admiring the long line of cars sitting in the 100F Texas weather waiting for the infamous two-light/two intersection shuffle to get to the other side of I-10.
Now most Fralo regulars know Frank Hakspiel, co-owner of Fralo's with wife Lori, is the original entrepreneur, but when we saw him send one of his employees, George Garcia, out to provide water to hot drivers we knew it was going to get a bit more interesting. In a grand effort to share the limelight, and upstage George, Frank walked out and started handing out watermelon cups!
I figured if they had survived this long in traffic, it was up to me to document the event for posterity. James Nachtwey I'm not, but it was fun.

Inks Lake on the 4th
Went up to Inks Lake for the 4th with some friends, just us and the usual horde.
Each night at dusk we had a Mockingbird go ballistic when four Eastern Screech Owls came cruising through our area, apparently there was a turf war going on that we were unaware of.
I also had a great time shooting all the folks jumping off the cliffs at Devil's Waterhole.
Kart Racing
With the sun setting later and late afternoon light improving I made time to get back out to the Hill Country Kart Club and shoot some great racing and pit action. If you've never been out there, you need to make time. Racing has everything from kids that look like they are too young to ride a bike to adults doing 60+mph down the straight. Location Info
BMX Racing
With baseball winding down I spent a couple of weekends shooting BMX racing at Lone Star BMX. While I have a long history with bicycles, starting as a mechanic in and out of college, this was my first time to shoot a BMX competition and it was great, particularly since the bikes are easier to dodge than karts.
Spring Baseball Recap
Just to get caught up a bit I want to share some of my photo activities from this spring. I've been shooting Smithson Valley varsity baseball for a couple of years, but with my nephew, Dakota Mawyer, graduating and moving on to a football scholarship at Incarnate Word University and my ties to Boerne growing I started committing more time to shooting Boerne High School sports. When Smithson Valley went down early in the 5A playoffs and Boerne moved on I found myself with more time to shoot some of their games on spec (that's photographer speak for "I hope someone buys some of these photos"). And was I rewarded with some great action. The 4A playoff game against New Braunfels Canyon resulted in everything from a bench-clearing brawl to a long-shot grand slam to win the game.
Last, but hardly least, I was accepted by MaxPreps to shoot high school sports. MaxPreps is a CBS Sports partner that provides complete team coverage for varsity sports across the US. With Texas high school participation on the rise I'm excited to be part of their growth.

Rangers may come into tonight's clash with Dundee United at Ibrox as red-hot 13/20 football betting favourites, but with last week's stinging 3-0 defeat at the hands of Celtic no doubt still fresh in the mind, they could well be worth opposing.
The visitors have a good recent record against the Glaswegian club, having won the last two meetings between the sides in both the league and cup, and they are available at a tempting 15/4 to snatch a victory here, with the draw at 14/5.
United come to Ibrox with fond memories of their famous 2-0 win at the ground in the Scottish Cup back in early February and another triumph by this scoreline is priced at a lengthy 25/1.
Peter Houston's men will be certainly be going for the jugular, as following Motherwell's 1-0 win at Hearts last night, they have to pick up maximum points to keep their increasingly faint hopes of Champions League qualification alive.
Despite their poor head-to-head record against the Tangerines, Rangers have been putting concerns over their parlous financial situation to one side in recent weeks and were enjoying some improved form prior to their defeat by the Bhoys.
Goals continue to flow at both ends for Ally McCoist's side at home too, with four or more scored in their last three wins at Ibrox. Backing a home win with over 3.5 goals scored could offer a good punt at 29/10 for anyone with faith in the Rangers attack.
The Gers have proven particularly lively in the first halves of their last four league games, with over 1.5 combined goals scored prior to the interval on each occasion.
With United's last two wins over the Glaswegians also seeing at least two first-half goals, a bet on over 1.5 goals in the first period could make for a shrewd punt at odds of 13/10.
This selection offers a tidy return of £57.50 for anyone eager to utilise bwin's free £25 bet for registering on a banker bet.
Alan McGregor may be among the best keepers in the league, but he has failed to keep a clean sheet in four games for the Gers, making odds of 13/20 on both teams scoring another option for those with little faith in the Ibrox club.
Recommended bet: Over 1.5 combined goals in the first half @ 13/10
Outside punt: Dundee United to win 2-0 @ 25/1

F1's negative end reveals the scale of many challenges
Formula 1, Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari, Renault - all these parties suffered defeats in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. And the race being boring doesn't make the conclusions that can be drawn any less significant
We've had some very good Formula 1 races in 2017, but I'm afraid the season finale in Abu Dhabi wasn't one of them. It did at least serve to highlight all the problems that the powers that be must sort out.
At the end of the first lap, the top 10 was: 1 Valtteri Bottas, 2 Lewis Hamilton, 3 Sebastian Vettel, 4 Daniel Ricciardo, 5 Kimi Raikkonen, 6 Max Verstappen, 7 Nico Hulkenberg, 8 Sergio Perez, 9 Esteban Ocon, 10 Felipe Massa - with Fernando Alonso tagging along in 11th.

Government to introduce new tax on cars
The government will introduce a new tax on cars, writes Dagens Industri. Cars with low emission rates will benefit from the new taxation system while cars releasing 95 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre will be penalty taxed. Buyers of electrical cars will receive SEK 45 000 from the government after six months of ownership. Many of Sweden's most sold cars will thus be taxed, but this a step towards the government's goal to achieve a fossil fuel free vehicle fleet by 2030. The tax will be implemented in the summer of 2018.

IRA Charitable Rollover
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a rollover to benefit Boys & Girls Aid and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity without having to pay income taxes on the money.
This law no longer has an expiration date so you are free to make annual gifts to a qualified organization this year and well into the future.
Why is this gift right for you?
All donations will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making.
You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I've already named Boys & Girls Aid as the beneficiary of my IRA. What are the benefits if I make a gift now instead of after my lifetime?
A. By making a gift this year of up to $100,000 from your IRA, you can see your philanthropic dollars at work. You can also fulfill any outstanding pledge you may have made by transferring that amount from your IRA as long as it is $100,000 or less for the year.
Q. I have several retirement accounts—some are pensions and some are IRAs. Does it matter which retirement account I use?
A. Yes. Direct rollovers to a qualified charity can be made only from an IRA. Under certain circumstances, however, you may be able to roll assets from a pension, profit sharing, 401(k) or 403(b) plan into an IRA and then make the transfer from the IRA directly to Boys & Girls Aid. To determine if a rollover to an IRA is available for your plan, speak with your plan administrator.
Q. I have two charities I want to support. Can I give to more than one charity from my IRA in one year?
A. Yes. Under the law, you can give a maximum of $100,000. For example, you can give each organization $50,000 this year or any other combination that totals $100,000 or less. Any amount of more than $100,000 in one year must be reported as taxable income.
Q. My spouse and I would like to give more than $100,000. How can we do that?
A. If you have a spouse (as defined by the IRS) who is 70½ or older and has an IRA, he or she can also give up to $100,000 from his or her IRA.
It is wise to consult with your tax professionals if you are contemplating a charitable gift under the extended law. Please feel free to contact Suzan Huntington at 503.542.2304 or email@example.com with any questions you may have.

How to Style Ugly Sneakers
Happy Sunday,
How has your weekend and Thanksgiving been? Have you been rocking some killer fall/winter outfits? Comment down below what your current favorite winter outfit is! I've been up in Newcastle this week visiting my brother, exploring the city, and eating lots of food, most importantly of which was our Thanksgiving meal! Although we missed our Tennessee family, it was nice that Fergus and I got to spend it together and try out cooking it for ourselves! We did pretty well apart from our roasted veg could've been…well a bit more roasted! Anyway, the day after our Thanksgiving meal, Fergus took me touring around Newcastle and took some awesome shots for this week's post featuring my 'ugly' sneakers!
We may call them ugly, but everyone who's anyone in the fashion industry has been rocking these less-than-sleek babies, from Gigi Hadid to bloggers to models in the Louis Vuitton ads . They've also been called chunky trainers, dad shoes, and a fashion Frankenstein. There are obviously endless ways to rock them, but these are my top three ways I would recommend to pull off your own dad sneakers.
Plain Jane
The easiest way to rock a pair of out-there chunky trainers is to channel your inner model. If you refer to models and celebs, like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, you'll see that they typically pair quite simple casual looks with their ugly tennis shoes. If you're hesitant on how to style them, I suggest going simple at first with a plain white tee or black long-sleeve tee and some skinny jeans. You could add a little statement with your jacket if you like, but keeping it basic is definitely the perfect way to dip your toe into the realm of the ugly sneaker.
Feminine Contrasting
For this post, I've decided to go with my personal favorite way to style them, which is with a feminine twist. I've styled them with more feminine pieces to counteract the boyish vibe they give off. This will help create balance within your look. Bloggers, like Song of Style, love to pair them with floaty dresses and skirts. I always love to contrast different styles, patterns, and shapes within my looks if you haven't already noticed!
Sport It Out
The final way I recommend styling chunky trainers is to go all out sporty. If you're a bit more comfortable in your sports gear than me, go with a head-to-toe athleisure look and the dad sneakers will definitely add to the look. I recommend a pair of leggings, a bomber jacket, and a cool adidas top!
Hopefully, now, you're feeling brave enough to rock a dad sneaker for yourself! Just remember to keep it simple, contrast them with feminine pieces, or go all out sporty. Special thanks to my bro, Fergus, for taking these cool photos for me in Newcastle. As always, thank you so much for reading this week's blog post and tune in next week for another!

AutoCode 2.0 Beta 1
AutoCode is a simple tool for Visual Studio .NET. Its goal is to enable
you to easily create and use simple code templates. There are two parts
here: a template editor and a runtime replacement engine.
Templates have a pretty straightforward syntax. For example, here's one
for VB .NET to create a public class:
''@ Template language="vb"
/*=blanks*/Public Class <%=args(0)%>
/*=blanks*/ Public Sub New()
/*=blanks*/ End Sub
/*=blanks*/End Class
For the most part, this is just text to be dumped directly into your
code. But there are some other features here as well. The /*=blanks*/
token represents the leading whitespace at the point where the template
is invoked; this makes it easy to maintain indentation. The <%=args(0)%>
token is replaced with the first token on the line where the template is
replaced; as you'd guess from the number, you can pass an arbitrary
number of tokens. The [@] indicates where the cursor should be placed; a
slight extension of this syntax lets you highlight a portion of the
generated text.
With this template saved under the name cpub, then using it is as simple
as typing
Customer cpub
and pressing Ctrl+Enter. The expansion is performed, returning the class
with its constructor, and the cursor directly after the constructor.
AutoCode ships with a small selection of templates having to do with
properties, regions, methods, and a few other odds and ends. Hopefully
it will build up a larger library as it moves through the beta process
and into release. It's also very fast; if anything, replacing an
AutoCode template is faster than pressing Ctrl+Space to invoke Visual
Studio's own AutoComplete feature.
There are still a few rough edges here. For one, the template editor is
a separate window, rather than being integrated as a VS .NET tool
window. For another, the template language lacks sufficient escapes; if
you want [@ to appear in the output, for example, you're out of luck.
But as a fast way to inject boilerplate code into your .NET
applications, it's certainly priced right.

Overland Airways has successfully completed the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA).
As a result the airline has been listed on the IOSA Registry.
The Chief Executive Officer of the airline, Captain Edward Boyo, said the listing of the airline is a further endorsement of Overland Airways' 14-year history of outstanding safety performance.
The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) program is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline," stating that "in terms of global standards, the IOSA is a proven tool for raising safety."
The IOSA registration is a mark of international operational safety standard developed by IATA to support the efforts of big and small airlines globally to improve their operational safety, which has so far tremendously enhanced safety performance among airlines globally. With continually improved safety standards.
Boyo said Overland Airways has equally become a notable partner in economic development in several of Nigeria's hinterland and hub economies.
According to Boyo, the IOSA audit is a pronouncement of the outstanding business model, excellent personnel, safety culture at Overland Airways, and protection of its investment.
"The IOSA audit further endorses Overland Airways as a world-class airline and creates increased accessibility to partnerships with global and regional airlines. It also further motivates Overland Airways to deliver excellent operational, economic and all-round service standards and efficiencies.
"Overland Airways has sustained a custom of impeccable safety and outstanding economic performance and sustainability which to-date makes it the only airline in Nigeria older than 7 years that is not taken over by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) for reason of debt overhang. The impressive culture of service excellence painstakingly developed over the years makes Overland Airways the most consistent, longest-serving airline providing uninterrupted service in Nigeria over the past 14 years."
