Hurricane Lane: TERRIFYING spaghetti models show path of storm as its heads towards Hawaii
HURRICANE Lane is forecast to graze "dangerously close" to the Hawaii archipelago but latest spaghetti models show the islands could become a direct target of the raging storm in the coming hours.
Hurricane Lane is on track to rock the Hawaii Islands with 145 mph gusts of winds and torrential rain, forcing authorities to issue hurricane warnings from Oahu to Maui.
Latest spaghetti model revealed the Category 4 storm could potentially veer its path and hit the archipelago directly with all its force.
Fox News forecaster Adam Klotz said: "If you are looking at this area right there as you're running up along Honolulu the winds are backing down as it moves to that direction, you see winds there at 100 mph but that's when you're making the closest path to a major population centre.
"Otherwise you are going to be running towards the Big Island of Hawaii, the largest island but also not the most populated. Here are several different forecast tracks and you notice this is why there's still a lot of uncertainty."
Mr Klotz continued: "We're looking at multiple tracks, some of these take it into making landfall, others staying a little bit farther off to the south.
"This means we could be seeing something very close, we could see something a little farther off. We still have a probably good 18 hours or so until we are able to nail down where this is going to go but it's going to be a major story either way."
An update from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu at 4:45 am BST said: "Swells generated by Lane will produce very large life-threatening surf and dangerous rip currents along southeast, south and southwest facing shores of all of the Hawaiian islands.
"Large surf is likely occurring along southeast facing shores on the Big Island.
Hurricane Lane: Spaghetti models show Lane could still directly hit Hawaii
We're looking at multiple tracks, some of these take it into making landfall
"Surf is expected to increase tonight along southwest facing shores of the Big Island as well as along south and southeast facing shores from Maui County to Kauai County, with the surf becoming extremely large later tonight through Saturday."
AccuWeather Hurricane expert Dan Kottlowski warned Hurricane Lane could cause "record damage" to Hawaii depending on the severity of the impact.
Mr Kottlowski said: "Lane has the potential of bringing the state of Hawaii serious and perhaps record damage.
"All residents and interests on the islands should closely monitor Hurricane Lane and pay particular attention to local officials on possible evacuations and preparations.
"Satellite-derived wind data suggests shear is starting to increase over the hurricane, and this should cause the hurricane to begin the expected weakening trend."
But he added: "As a caveat, there is a risk of a direct hit on any of these islands should a delay in the turn to the west occur."

Questions to Ask Your Next English Teacher
How long are my lessons? 45 or 60 minutes? Do you test my English Grammar? What level am I? What level should I study? Is my pronunciation okay? Do I need to correct how I speak? How is my reading? What level is it? Do you know spoken English? Can you teach me Intermediate English? Do you use computer resources or just a book to instruct?
Do you offer free educational resources? Do I have to buy my books? What about additional learning materials? Do you have an educational website like Larisa School of Language in Nikolaev? Does your next English teacher conduct a free English Club for all students?

Early Friday morning on February 2, parts of Bears Ears National Monument and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument were reopened for mining and drilling. The move follows President Donald Trump's December decision to slash the size of the two national monuments. Now, tens of thousands of Native American sacred sites are at risk, along with key wildlife habitats and areas used for outdoor recreation. On this bonus episode, Michele and Igor speak with two tribal leaders, Regina Lopez-Whiteskunk of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and Davis Filfred of Navajo Nation, about the devastation these actions will have on sacred land and sites ingrained in their tribes' legacies and what they're doing to fight back against it.

BUSAR is an amazing group of people, who volunteer and sacrifice their time away from their family and loved ones to help other families in their time of need. They worked from sun up to sun down to look for someone they never met, my son. Their love, passion, and knowledge of their missions gave our family the hope and reassurance that our family needed in our darkest days. We can never thank BUSAR enough for all they did for us.
Carolyn D.
On the day of July 30, 2018, my son and his best friend went canoeing. They left around noon that day and had told us that they would be home no later than 7pm. When 7:30pm came and went, then 8:00 rolled past and there was no word from them, we started to get concerned. Of course, as a parent your mind wanders to the worst of events, did they drown? Are they hurt? Are they stuck? Around 8:30 I decided to call 911 and report them missing. Officers came out and immediately went into action. They located both vehicles and figured out where they suspected the boys must be. The boys were on Abrams Creek, a stretch of about nine miles, that consists of rough and isolated land.That was when BUSAR was called to help. I received a call from a Park Ranger around midnight and spoke to him several times over the next couple of hours. He told me the plan and reassured me that he knew the boys had not drowned as he knew the creek was very low. He told me he suspected they had just ran out of daylight as the trip takes far longer to complete then the boys had allowed. The group was on the ground by morning. They had a plan of entry based on where they suspected the boys were, based on where the vehicles were parked and amount of time they had traveled. It was obvious that this group knew what they were doing. They found the boys within a couple of hours wet, cold and my son was injured. They wrapped his foot as he had a huge gash in his heel, gave them food and water, and then walked the boys out to safety. As a parent, I could not have spent another night with my son in the woods and was so thankful these men were willing to help him and his friend make it home safely. As a mother, their service was priceless.

To hear it from some people (like, say...an orange-tinged shitlord with a sulfurous-looking hairdo who's presumable in charge of the Western world), white people have it soooooooooo hard!
That a middle-aged (or Baby Boomin') white guy can say with a straight face, "There's no other group who has it worse than Christian white males," says so much about white privilege.
And so, Gorilla Shawn thought two white guys talking about white people would make for a good episode...and it did. (Although, some shitty white people might not agree...)
* * *
We kick it off talking about the first time we noticed the differences between white people and other races or cultures. We discuss what the experience was like, and then we move on to the whitest people we know.
To that point, though...is there even such a thing as "being white," either racially or culturally?
After that, we discuss if anyone should be proud of being white...and if anyone should be ashamed if they happened to be born white?
Find out if we think we see the world in a different manner than someone who's black. (Spoiler: we don't get pulled over when simply driving a decent vehicle.)
Shitty white people sure have been more vocal, lately. We devote some time discussing who's to blame for the rise in white supremacy, lately...and then we chat about ways to fix that problem.
In popular culture, there are things deemed rather white (like really bad dancing). Find out the "whitest" thing we've ever seen...and learn about the whitest things we've ever done.
Finally, we wrap it all up with what the future looks like for white people...

Christopher and Shawn are both white dudes (if you didn't already know this, it'll definitely become clear next week), but they're somehow not greedy assholes. That's one of many reasons neither of them will be elected to the Senate, because they're just not greedy enough.
With the new tax bill that just passed with the explicit aim of funneling still more money to the richest one percent of the country, it seemed like a good time to revisit the episode they did way back when (in 1848, I think) about greed!
Sit back and enjoy this episode. It's all yours!
*Also the audio quality on this one isn't great. This might-could have been one of our first Skype episodes ever.

We suppose a party should be held in February, to celebrate the five-year anniversary of the podcast. (Okay, so we really are fine without a party...but you'll see where we're going with this...)
[Many] people love parties -- and many others do not. We devote this week's show to where we stand on the whole party thing...
* * *
First, we go back in time...to the first party we remember attending. (We tell you all about them.) And, also...we tell us about the last parties we've attended!
After that, find out if we are party people! Then: whether we're party people (or not)...we chat about the craziest parties we've ever attended.
Find out if we even like parties...and what the best party or gathering we've ever attended was -- as well as the worst!
We devote some time to birthday party memories...and then talk about if we're good at putting together parties.
Find out if parties are even important to us...and why we think parties are important to others.
And we wrap it all up with this: if we could throw the best parties ever (on our terms), what would they be like?
As always, party it all up in the comments section if that's your kind of thing...

Christopher was a Dragon! Shawn was a Thunderbird! This episode is METAL AS FUCK!
Oh, wait, no it isn't. Those were their high school mascots. And Shawn's wasn't named after the mythical Native American beast, or even the massive car by Ford… nope, it was named after the Air Force Aerobatics team. NERRRRRRDDDDD.
Did the Gorillamen dig high school? Were they the kings of the commons, or the nerds no one talked to? Are they still true to their schools? What stupid voices will Shawn do this show? What traumas from Christopher's young life with they unearth? You'll have to listen to find out!*
*or have listened in January 2016. Whatever. Dick.

Plenty of things make a city great: well-paid jobs, good roads and public transit, high-quality schools, attractive parks and cultural goodies like celebrity chefs and art galleries, to name a few.
But what creates those qualities in some cities and not others? A new report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development across industrialized countries points to maybe the unsexiest topic in public policy: the structure of municipal government.
Sure, you've probably never argued over drinks with friends about the optimal size and responsibilities of county government. And that's exactly the problem. If the OECD is right, the overpowering boringness of metropolitan governance bodies is a big part of what keeps more big cities from succeeding. It's hard to worry about (let alone fix) something that's too dull to argue over.
That neglect comes at a pretty high cost. In its report, "The Metropolitan Century," the OECD says you can't expect a well-functioning city without "effective governance arrangements that fit the situation in a city and its surrounding areas." So long as people live in one area, work in another and go out in a third, the patterns of their lives don't reflect arbitrary jurisdictional lines drawn decades (or, for some cities, centuries) earlier.
The result is a "mismatch between functional boundaries and administrative boundaries," as the latter fail to keep up with the former. Some metropolitan areas adapt, either by merging small local governments or by creating new ways to coordinate across those governments — what the report calls, collectively, metropolitan governance bodies. Others don't, allowing bureaucratic and planning friction to persist and fester.
The results of that decision can be profound. Start with the economy: The report found that doubling the number of municipalities per 100,000 residents in a metropolitan area is associated with a drop in labor productivity of 5 percent to 6 percent. Labor productivity may sound dull, but that's what creates the disposable income and tax revenue to fill celebrity restaurants and fund high-quality schools.
And in cities with metro-wide governance bodies, the labor force is larger. From 2000 to 2010, metro areas with governance bodies had population growth rates that were a quarter of a percentage point higher, on average, than those that didn't. Symphonies and art galleries do better when there are more people to fill them.
A coordinated government also changes the physical structure of a city, by reducing sprawl. From 2000 to 2006, cities with metropolitan governance bodies saw an increase in population density of more than half a percentage point. In other metro areas, density declined by 1.1 percent.
That change in sprawl in turn affects the climate. Metro areas with governing bodies have more air pollution than those that don't — something the OECD report attributes to better coordination of transportation and land-use policies. (Which raises the question: Could the integration of local governments become a cause for climate activists?)
"Government structure isn't everything," Rudiger Ahrend, an OECD economist in Paris and the report's lead author, told me by phone. But with a good structure, "you'll be more resilient. You'll be quicker to change. You'll bounce back. Over time, you'll make better decisions."
So what's in the way? Strong local identities, the cost of reform and "vested interests of politicians and residents," the report notes diplomatically.
The cost of those vested interests sometimes bursts into view — such as last year's shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., one of 90 municipalities in St. Louis County. That governing structure means towns of as little as 800 people have their own police forces, many relying on revenue from traffic tickets to fund their operations. That, in turn, led to distrust of police, fueling the riots and debate that followed Brown's death.
But for the most part, the crazy quilt of city and county government avoids public attention, being too boring to bother discussing. The OECD says that's a mistake. The numbers say they're right.

The US State Department has announced that President Barack Obama's new Tibet Coordinator, Maria Otero, will meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Washington this week. Ms Otero is Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs. Last Thursday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appointed her as Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues.
A written announcement said Ms Otero would coordinate government policies and programmes on Tibetan issues "within the context" of the US bilateral relationship with Beijing, and seek to foster an environment for substantive discussion between the Dalai Lama's representatives and the Chinese government, as well as support initiatives to help safeguard Tibet's "unique culture".
Last month, China said it "firmly opposed" any meetings between foreign officials and the Dalai Lama, after top Obama aides met the Tibetan spiritual leader in India.
Beijing also issued a veiled warning to the White House against an eventual meeting between Obama and His Holiness, who is seen by China as a "splittist" and "wolf in monk's robes" who seeks independence for Tibet, despite his repeated calls for only regional autonomy.
His Holiness has met every sitting US President since George W Bush in 1991, but will not be invited to meet President Obama during his week-long Washington visit. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters that President Obama will "meet the Dalai Lama at a mutually agreeable time," adding, "I think there was an announcement that it would be after his trip to China" in mid-November.
President Obama's decision not to meet His Holiness prompted Tibetan Prime Minister-in-exile Samdhong Rinpoche to accuse the United States of appeasement. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the top Republican on the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, said the US is "kowtowing" to Beijing by putting off the meeting.
But His Holiness' envoy Lodi Gyari said the Dalai Lama was "taking a broader and long-term perspective" and agreed to the postponement in the hope that a cooperative US-China relationship would help resolve Tibetans' grievances.

In the fall of 1987, Acadia women's soccer player Gunnhildur Sif Baldursson tragically lost her life in an automobile accident on Highway 101 outside of Sackville, Nova Scotia.
Baldursson was an AUAA (AUS) All-Star and her talents led to her to the Canadian National Team after completing only her third season with the Axettes (Axewomen).
Since her death on November 26, 1987, no Acadia women's soccer athlete has worn the number nine jersey that she wore during her time at Acadia University.
This season will mark the 29th year since her death and also the return of the CIS Women's Soccer Championship after a 16 year absence.
On Friday, September 9 at the 5:00 p.m. at the women's soccer season opener, Baldursson's number nine jersey will be officially retired between the women's game conclusion and the men's game at 7:00 p.m.
Baldursson's jersey retirement will be attended her family members who have returned from her native Iceland.
Acadia Athletics' Manager of Communications and Events, Eric Cederberg, knows well the background of Gunnhildur's death and the impact it had on the Acadia community and the Nova Scotia Soccer community.
"As the Director of the Gunn Baldursson Memorial Women's Soccer Tournament for 14 of the tournament's 28 year history, I have developed a connection with her memory", pointed out Cederberg.
"Gunn had a deep and profound impact on the local, provincial soccer community and Acadia. She was a model student-athlete excelling on the soccer pitch, in the classroom and as a musician", added Cederberg.
The Axewomen soccer team opens the AUS regular season this Friday, September 9 beginning at 5:00 p.m. vs Saint Mary's. Acadia University is host to the 2016 CIS Women's Soccer National Championship this November 10-13.


text: [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Cross Culture is a musical experience you have yet to experience. Literally. When people think of a band with two emcees, they rarely think of a married couple. Rarely do they see the rest of the members in the roles they serve in the band. Formed by emcee, Saidu Ezike in October 2014; the goal of Cross Culture is to break barriers through the fusion of musical genres. In addition, the goal is for people to Break Barriers in their own lives as we believe the Cross Culture experience is greater than music. Though it may be difficult to see from the surface, members of the band have performed/collaborated with the likes of Run DMC, Beyonce, Black Sheep to name a few. Gearing up for the release of their debut album, Majesty in 2017, sky's the limit for this motivated group of individuals.


text: Yoga Popular Types Print Introduction to Sivananda Yoga By Ann Pizer Updated June 23, 2019 John Freeman/Dorling Kindersley/Getty Images More in Yoga Popular Types Beginners Yoga and Your Health Books and Videos Lifestyle Sequences for Home Practice Poses Sivananda Yoga comes from the lineage of Swami Sivananda, as brought to the west by his disciple Swami Vishnudevananda in the late 1950s, making this style of practice an important part of yoga's first wave of popularity outside India. Sivananda (1887-1963) was well-known in India in the 1930s, when he founded an ashram in Rishikesh. He had previously been a practicing doctor. Because he spoke English well and wrote many treatises in English, he was sought after by western students who wished to study yoga and Vedanta. He founded the Divine Life Society in 1936 to organize and disseminate his teachings. Important Disciples Sivananda's yoga and philosophies traveled west courtesy of several influential disciples. One was Swami Satchidananda, who founded Integral Yoga. Another was Vishnudevananda, who came to North America in 1957 and soon started the first Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center in Montreal, Canada. The key philosophical points and yoga methodology associated with Sivananda Yoga were the efforts of Vishnudevananda on behalf of further spreading his guru's messages. Today there are Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers in major cities in the U.S., western Europe, South America, and Asia, as well as nine ashram retreats. Philosophy The Sivananda method is based on five principles for optimal health and spiritual growth, as described by Vishnudevananda. They are: Proper exercise (Asana, focusing on twelve poses (see below) in particular)Proper breathing (Pranayama)Proper relaxation (Savasana)Proper diet (Vegetarian)Positive thinking (Vedanta) and meditation (Dhyana) What to Expect A typical class begins with pranayama exercises. After warming up with sun salutations, the focus is on mastery of the twelve basic poses in the following order: HeadstandShoulderstandPlowFishSeated Forward BendCobraLocustBowSeated Spinal TwistCrow or PeacockStanding Forward BendTriangle Savasana closes the class. The poses are ideally done slowly and with control to stretch and strengthen the body as well as open the chakras. The 12 basic poses of Sivananda include a little of everything: inversions, backbends, forward bends, twists, balances, and hamstring stretches. As students become proficient in the 12 basic poses, variations may be introduced. Is Sivananda for You? The goal of this practice is to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The asana system is fairly fixed, so you must enjoy working slowly and methodically to fully master the prescribed poses. An interest in Indian philosophy is also a good indicator that you'll enjoy Sivananda yoga. The Most Popular Types of Yoga Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

When Jesus asked the blind man what he wanted Him to do for him, he asked that he would receive his sight. This need that he had was the obvious need, but not his greatest need. Many times we want our obvious needs met but not our most important/greatest one. We confuse what our real need is with temporal needs.
We think our greatest need is to have a million dollars in the bank, a new car, our health, a spouse, etc. We think if God would grant us all these things our life would be happy and complete. The blind man received his sight, but he was still lacking in what was really needed.
Mankind's greatest need is that of salvation. We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. Because of sin, death reigns in all of us. We need to be saved from our sins. But we are so consumed with and more desirous of the things that only meet our physical need that we are often neglecting the most important thing. What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?
What needs are you focused on today? Getting a bigger house? Making a fortune? Finding Mr. Right? Being successful? There is nothing wrong with desiring the best in life, but will you neglect your greatest need? Will you exchange the eternal for the temporary? Has your need for salvation been met already? If you have taken care of your greatest need first- salvation- then you have received the greatest gift. If not, do it today. Go to God Who has provided the gift of eternal for you through His Son Jesus. Ask Him to save your soul. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins. Ask Him to be your Savior. And put your faith and trust in Him alone.
Have a great day. Our greatest need is not always the most obvious one, but we can't afford to neglect it.

Osborne's long-game? The politics behind the down-scaling of low-carbon policies
Within weeks of the newly elected Conservative government coming into power, the down-scaling of low-carbon policies began.
Distributing power: Can the UK transition to 50% distributed, low carbon electricity system?
Would it be possible for the UK's electricity system to transition to one where 50% of final demand was met by distributed, low-carbon sources and delivered by communities, cooperatives, local authorities, town and parish councils and social housing providers? And, if it was technologically possible, how might the transition come about? What kinds of policy and institutional support would be necessary, and crucially, would it cost more?
An all-male panel is no way to honour Rachel Carson
Rachel Carson faced gender-based slurs on her work in the 1960s but, 50 years on, why does the Royal Society still struggle to invite women to talk about her legacy?
Writing wrongs, righting wrongs: Gender-balance at public events
Earlier this week I wrote to the Royal Society asking why 'Writing wrongs' had an all-male panel. The email I sent and the response I received are included in this post.
Book Review: Cancel The Apocalypse
In fascinating and iconoclastic detail – on everything from the cash in your pocket to the food on your plate and the shape of our working lives – Cancel the Apocalypse describes how the relentless race for economic growth is not always one worth winning
Unburnable Carbon
Climate change communication has been in desperate need of a revamp in recent years. Public perception of the issue appears to be increasingly polarised. And, with the current economic down turn attention has shifted to economic recovery rather than environmental preservation
Shale gas: Saviour or dangerous diversion?
Likened to a modern day gold rush, development of the UK's shale gas resources has generated both excitement and dissent in equal measures
Infinite Returns
What's impossible for the individual can be achieved by many: How alternative financial institutions are helping the transition to a low carbon economy
Oil dependence puts a glass ceiling on economic recovery
The era of cheap oil is rapidly coming to an end, ushering in 'economic peak oil' – the point at which the cost of incremental supply exceeds the price economies can pay without significantly disrupting economic activity at a given point in time.
It's time to say 'Nuclear? No Thanks' once and for all.
In 1986, nuclear pioneer Alvin Weinberg wrote an article in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists where he reflected on the, then recent, disaster that guaranteed that the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant would go down in history. Nations abandoned plans for new nuclear, and public support crumbled. And here we are again.

These single serving Mini Barbecue Bacon-Cheddar Meatloaves are ideal for busy day meals. They're made with lean ground beef, sweet onion and a tasty blend of seasonings. Add plenty of sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon to give these wonders a smoky edge. After being topped with a sweet barbecue glaze they're baked in half the time it would take to prepare an entire meatloaf making it possible to enjoy comfort food any day of the week.
To me, meatloaf is consummate comfort food. It's just on of those downhome dishes I grew-up eating and my boys love meatloaf, too. Any size meatloaf can be prepared in advance, then chilled until you're ready to bake. It's super simple to make these mini meatloaves in advance then mix together the meatloaves, shape and refrigerate until you're ready to prepare dinner. The only thing left to do is, glaze and bake. Serve them hot or make a tasty meatloaf sandwich or sliders for lunch the next day. It's a comforting and filling meal in a snap on any day of the week.

Anyone plans to get an elliptical trainer ought to take into account its size at initial. SOLE E35's reverse pedaling feature and movable handlebars together provides full physique exercise plus cardio positive aspects. A lot of committed treadmill customers are turning to elliptical trainers The get in touch with is low influence , full upper and decrease physique workout elliptical vs treadmill. A bit like the way that occasionally NEAs get captured into temporary orbit about the Earth for a handful of months. This Recumbent workout bike has 16 resistance levels and 17 workouts and physical exercise programs. This machine is constructed for a smooth exercise with minimal need to interruptions, allowing for a greater exercise. This trainer comes with 12 applications, a fitness test, and makes it possible for you to customize your exercise. This two in 1 elliptical trainer + recumbent bike from ProForm is a Hybrid certainly.
The closer an orbiting spacecraft is to earth, the higher the velocity needed to remain in that orbit. It's a bit much more focused on targeting your heart rate and a lot of men and women that use a recumbent bike are employing a single though their doctor's recommendation for physical therapy or for a low effect way to assist their cardio vascular system. This comes with far more than 10 preset applications and makes it possible for you to customize your own exercise applications an adjustable seat and a 14inch stride length make this double the exercise for a fraction of the price. In a circular orbit, the velocity of an object is constant, whilst velocity varies all through an elliptical orbit. The adjective elliptical refers to the shape of an ellipse, which is an elongated circle, stretched into an oval.
Incline and resistance: You should take into account the variety of resistance levels and incline to decide the toughness of your workout. Just remember though, that the workouts would be a bit distinct and if your medical professional has stated that you should be utilizing a recumbent bike for rehab, this a single will not do. There are some tiny differences such as significantly less pressure on the body on the elliptical machine simply because the treadmill requires the feet to hit the actual machine each time a step is made. 1 factor the treadmill exercise can provide you is the capability to target your muscles differently by operating on an incline. ProForm heavy-duty hybrid elliptical machine is quite inexpensive for the functions.
Although most exercise bikes do come with exercise applications, I do like the choice that this recumbent bike has. Schwinn 430 is a compact higher top quality elliptical trainer at decent cost variety. When this style is employed (say in a poem an elliptical style) — because it doesn't shed any light on the which means — it occasionally makes the function obscure and challenging to interpret. Some elliptical trainers offer added characteristics such as tracking your progress, calories burned, heart price, exercise duration and so on. The Diamondback Fitness 1260Ef Elliptical Trainer is one of the greatest ellipticals on the industry.
The treadmill is the ideal tool for individuals to get their day-to-day exercising that they usually would not get if they did not have the treadmill. Almost all elliptical machines come with programmable characteristics and the more you are willing to devote, the more they will come with. This machine has ten levels of resistance, a heavy flywheel for a smooth exercise and built-in speakers for straightforward listening. Irregular galaxy clusters have no distinct shape, and as they usually only comprise of a handful of hundred galaxies or much less, are usually classed as poor. So then as Mars steadily catches up with it, it then gets captured into a distant orbit about Mars.

The Brilliance Expansion and Strengthening Program
D-Rev Business Development Executive, Dheeraj Kumar Mishra, conducting a problem-led conversation on jaundice management with a doctor outside of Bahraich, UP.
The Brilliance Expansion and Strengthening Program (Brilliance ESP) is an experimental sales laboratory designed to extend the reach of D-Rev's award-winning Brilliance line of phototherapy devices to the most underserved and high-need areas of India and East Africa. Using the same principles as our user-centered design process, our sales process, designed in partnership with Whitten & Roy Partnership, focuses on a problem-led approach as opposed to a product-led approach. We are engaging with doctors and hospital administrators about how to effectively treat newborn jaundice and building strong relationships between D-Rev and our customers that extend well past a sale. By focusing on proper usage techniques of Brilliance, we aim to drive greater utilization and more efficacious usage of our devices. Our approach is designed to empower medical practitioners to have the confidence to know that they are delivering the best possible treatment to at-risk newborns with jaundice.
Our hypothesis, based upon evidence from other deployments of this sales technique, is that we will be able to cost-effectively sell Brilliance devices quicker, drive increased demand through awareness creation, and expand phototherapy treatment options into rural areas where previously no treatment was available. We will evaluate our learnings from this program to help drive distribution and sales strategies for D-Rev and our partners as we expand our product portfolio.
We are grateful to Development Innovation Ventures at USAID for supporting Brilliance ESP.
Stay tuned for more information on the results of our program!

text: Feeling a bit down and tired, what with the late nights and early mornings catching up, and all. We remember to fetch Mishka from the cattery, and to buy something from the butchers for tea. Sausages, because I forget we had sausages yesterday. Sam likes to help cook the rice salad I wanted to make for lunch, but declines to eat it. We don't bother to go out, as it is raining, and have a lazy day at home instead.

The snow is mostly melted, except for those parking lot pockets of dirt-crusted ice that make you think of mini mountains, and even your most vocal Facebook friend has probably stopped whining about frostbitten ears and noses. While the southern states revel in the first buds and the fresh smell of turned soil, the north is still slogging through what is affectionately known as "mud season," watching the rains start to cascade down barren, grassless lawns and into overflowing streams.
Springtime is a season full of false hope and betrayal, just like your favorite books should be. And just like those fantasy worlds we love to inhabit, there are certain rules for authors to play by when the birds come out and the ice scrapers languish in the coat closets of the winter weary for another year.
Stay inside to prevent deadly sneezing outbreaks…
Nothing ruins a good writing day like a sudden allergy attack. Speaking as someone who has been afflicted with the dreaded sneezles since childhood, I have learned that spring is no time to start venturing outdoors and enjoying the weather. No, it's better to sit tight and get as much work done as I possibly can while the trees start doing their thing. Early fall is equally as dangerous for me and my sensitive sinuses, which is why all my books come out in the middle of the summer and I go silent around NaNoWriMo time again.
…but open the windows a bit if you must
At the same time, there's nothing more intoxicating and inspiring than that first whiff of warming soil. Cracking the windows gives you just enough fresh air without asking you to do something stupid like go outside and leave your laptop alone. If you absolutely must venture outdoors, don't start looking at all the crocuses and daffodils and fluffy baby chicks and whatnot. Keep your mind where it belongs: on the next big plot twist.
Use every minute of extra sunlight
My very favorite thing about the warmer weather is waking up in the sunshine instead of winter's dreary pre-dawn gloom. Talk about a good way to start off a productive day, right? And since the evening stretches until 7:30 instead of 4:00, there is plenty of time after work for my brain to stay in writing mode instead of switching off immediately after walking in the door. Use your time to its fullest now, and maybe you'll be allowed to attend a few poolside barbecues when it's consistently gorgeous out.
Avoid the news
Until the evil media conglomerate stops posting Game of Thrones spoilers in the lede of every article that claims to hide its secrets below the jump but really doesn't, just turn off the internet, okay? We don't all stay up to watch on Sunday night, and Monday morning is a torturous time for those who get our fix after work the next day. All men must die, but let's start with the ones who don't know how to use their SEO packs to keep Google News from highlighting the wrong bit of their work.

St. Joseph Table
The St. Joseph Table is a time-honored celebration with its roots beginning in Sicily, Italy. Through the intercession of St. Joseph, a severe drought ended and in thanksgiving, a celebration was held for all, especially the poor, to eat and enjoy. This celebration has captured the hearts of many Catholic ethnic groups. We invite all parishioners and community members to take part in this event. The St. Joseph Table is celebrated in March in the Parish Life Center. The Feast of St. Joseph, the Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is March 19th.
Proceeds from this event are passed on to charities and organizations for the poor, disabled and needy of the parish and community.
For more information or to assist at the St. Joseph Table event, contact Claudia Geraci at the Parish Office 847-956-7020.

Donald Trump Orders New Cryptocurrency Task Force to Tackle Cybercrime
You can say what you want about the American President, Donald Trump, and most people do, but this week he announced plans to create a new cryptocurrency task force to investigate crypto crimes and to clamp down on cybercriminals, as reported by Bloomberg. It is interesting to see the U.S. supremo getting involved with the protection of crypto, but what does it all mean?
In an interesting move this week, Trump called for a new cryptocurrency task force to tackle "cyber fraud and digital currency fraud", which aims to get ahold of the currency cybercrime rate increase we have seen since the beginning of 2018.
Cryptocurrency task force details
The details of the task force were released this week via an executive order from the U.S. President and his administration who are looking for a highly efficient way to tackle the on-going severity of crypto-related crimes online.
The info was made public by the American news outlet, Bloomberg, saying that the White House is very concerned about the amassing number of crypto frauds by hackers and also fraudulent ICO operations. The hike in crypto crime has led the President to take the issue more seriously and treat it the same way as traditional crimes and other cyber-fraud. We are expecting a thorough investigation since the news was made public.
Alongside tackling crypto-crime, the President is also expected to use the cryptocurrency task force to reduce the bureaucracy and "conflicting competences" of the market. The task force is expected to establish a coordinated effort, which is the opposite of the masses of independent bodies we currently see that act on their own behalf most of the time.
Establishing the task force
The executive order called for the creation of a new task force by The Justice Department (DOJ), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the daddies of them all, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC and CTFC will be placed with the task of possibly establishing a dynamic and robust effort to implement more policies and to have research in place that goes beyond purely administrative.
Trump is adamant that he wants to investigate mass fraud in the crypto industry with emphasis on some exit scams and Ponzi schemes.
At a press briefing in Washington, the Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein was quoted as saying, "Fraud committed by companies and their employees has a devastating impact on American citizens in the financial markets, the healthcare sector, and elsewhere."
Although Trump might well be the most controversial President of our age, having the possible power to exercise a high level of influence with his cryptocurrency task force on the actions of state agencies is a contentious move.
Bloomberg made some interesting points and said that this move by Trump is not just a simple and selfless act, and that there could be more behind the move in an attempt to overhaul the CFTB, which was the crown jewel of the Democrats and maligned by the Republicans who believed the agency was a "bastion of government overreach".
One thing is for sure, Donald Trump is adamant to set up this new cryptocurrency task force and only time will tell if it will be used for good or if it's just a political power move.
I am very experienced writer/blogger who has been an active member of the cryptocurrency community for several years. I have experience writing for crypto news sites and proactively been involved in the startup of other ICO and crypto ventures over the course of the past four years.

Another attorney visited my home studio this month for a professional business headshot. Maybe it is the season for lawyer's to get a new headshot? Even though a headshot shoot is relatively straight forward I find there is still quite a bit of room for variations and creativity. There is the lighting style, the aspect ratio of the headshot, the kind of background and more. So even though I use the same spot in my apartment for each headshot I do, there is always something I end up changing (or improving) from the previous shoot. It is my practice to always try and out do the previous shoot I do of any kind.
Christine liked the blue-gray gradient background I used in another portrait, so I photographed her on a white background then in Photoshop "removed" her from that photo and placed her onto a digitally created background, as seen above.

South Africa is now officially in its first recession since 2009 after gross domestic product (GDP) shrank by 0.7% in the first quarter of the year, following a 0.3% contraction in the last quarter of 2016.
But why should the decline of GDP for two consecutive quarters be a reason to worry?
In economics, it a rule of thumb that if an economy suffers negative GDP growth for two consecutive quarters, it's a recession. It refers to shrinking economic output, sometimes also known as negative economic growth or economic decline which are never good signs.
In South Africa's case, it's particularly serious because the country needs strong economic growth to reduce its unemployment which is a little less than 28%.
What caused it?
The downturn was caused by a sharp contraction in trade, which fell by 5.9% and accounted for minus 0.8 percent in the growth rate. Production in the trade sector dropped across all divisions, particularly in catering, accommodation and wholesale trade, Stats SA reported. Manufacturing output also shrank by 3.7%, while government and household spending both fell too.
There was some positive news in the farming and mining sectors growing at 12.8 percent and 22.2 percent respectively in the period. Mining's growth was mainly as a result of the rise in gold and platinum production.
While rain is helping the economy recover from a 2015 drought that was the worst since records started more than a century earlier, political uncertainty has hampered growth, reported Bloomberg.
Government agency Stats SA has tweeted the key points:
Stats SA continued:
Possibly the most important aspect of the first quarter's results is the tertiary sector. The sector – comprising finance, transport, trade, government and personal services – recorded its first quarter of decline since the second quarter of 2009, when South Africa was in a recession as well.
According to Bloomberg, economists and business executives agree that this time, it is caused by Jacob Zuma – Mr. president.
President Jacob Zuma changed his Cabinet and fired Pravin Gordhan as finance minister in March, a move that saw the nation lose its investment-grade status with two rating companies for the first time in 17 years.
"There is no other factor to explain the recession," said Iraj Abedian, chief executive officer at Pan-African Investments and Research Services in Johannesburg. "The only factor is the political shenanigans, policy uncertainty and the lack of leadership, which has hollowed out confidence both in the consumer and the investment community."
Gordhan, who had been driving efforts to trim the budget deficit, improve state firms' performance and ward off junk credit ratings, was canned in a March 31 cabinet shuffle, prompting two rating downgraded to non-investment levels within a week and nationwide demonstrations.
"There's been a massive loss of confidence," Graham O'Connor, the CEO of Spar Group Ltd., a food, and liquor retailer with more than 2,000 outlets in southern Africa, said by phone. "All of us are disappointed by the firing of Gordhan, and the cabinet reshuffle just breeds uncertainty and that's not what we want."
How Could South Africa Get Out of It?
Improving credit ratings can get the economy on track by encouraging others to invest. Investment is required to get South Africa out of its depressed economic conditions. The investment will boost demand in the economy, with positive spill-over effects on a number of sectors.
Moody's upcoming decision regarding the credit rating would be a critical moment. This after two big rating agencies Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poors downgraded some of South Africa's instruments into the sub-investment grade. A downgrade from Moodys' will trigger massive capital flights which will exert further pressure on the economy.

On a night where drama wasn't exactly in store (TNT would not be thrilled), Texas Legends (15-11) point guard Wade Baldwin IV did his best to give the crowd some thrills. Outside of a very early advantage, the Memphis Hustle (11-18), G League affiliate of the Memphis Grizzlies, trailed for the duration of Tuesday night's Texas win.
A final score of 119-109 didn't leave much room for heart-pounding theatrics, but Baldwin nevertheless supplied fans with a pair of clutch buzzer-beaters at the end of the third and fourth quarters.
"There was a little luck sprinkled in," Baldwin laughs. "It's 2018."
Buzzer-beaters are a player's best friend. It's hard to look bad taking a shot you really don't have any choice but to. That doesn't make it easy. "It's a hard shot. You have to focus on the release, the surroundings. Every shot is tough."
For the second time as a member of the Legends and the first time since the calendar flipped over, Baldwin reached 30 points. A season-high four three-pointers guided him to a game-best scoring total on 9-of-13 shooting. He made four of six from downtown and also knocked down eight free throws.
"I'm feeling good. It's nice to see four three's go down. That's the first time that's happened since college. Hopefully I can build off this game for the rest of the season and furthermore."
30 point games aren't very easy.Justin Dentmon only makes it look that way. But in Bob MacKinnon's uptempo offense, Baldwin is realizing offensive potential that has been there all along.
"I haven't had a lot of 30-point games. It's the second time this season and third time in my life I've scored 30 points. That's a good accomplishment for me. My teammates find me and had trust in me that I would hit the open three."
The Legends are now a season-best four games over .500 and have won three in a row as well as an impressive eight of 10.
"More important is the wins and the chemistry with the guys here. We had a lot of fun tonight. We had a lot of fun during showcase. It's a grind being in the G League. It's not easy so to make the most out of it is just fun."
Not far behind Baldwin was Johnathan Motley with yet another humongous game. Motley posted 27 points and 17 rebounds and is averaging 24 points and 15.2 rebounds over his last five. It's only a matter of time before he's given the chance to carve out a rotation role with the parent club Dallas Mavericks.
Fellow super-big Jameel Warney scored 21 points with eight rebounds and knocked down a three ball. Brandon Ashley flirted with a double-double at 11 points and nine rebounds but did tie a season-high with three blocks.
Donald Sloan looked more like healthy Donald Sloan, scoring 18 points and handing out six assists. His plus-minus of +16 led all competitors.
Tuesday was only the Legends' 10th home game –ninth at Dr Pepper Arena due to a showcase home game– to 16 road games so far and ties with the Northern Arizona Suns for least in the G League, but the team has more than carried its weight away from home. Returning home to a warm welcome helped the Legends continue their hot play.
"I love playing home games," says Baldwin, who co-led the team with Sloan at six assists. "Like I said, the G League is tough because of the travel schedule. You know, 4AM, 5AM, 7AM flights. Here, after the game, we go back to where we stay so we're comfortable. We wake up at a good hour and all that. So I love home games. I love the support we get in Frisco and the Dallas area in terms of the fans. It's one of the best in the G League."
The season-long five game home stand continues on Friday at 7:30 PM CT against the Grand Rapids Drive (14-14), affiliate of the Detroit Pistons. It's the only time the two teams will meet in the 2017-2018 regular season.

the finish between two evenly matched opponents. In 24 Hours at Waterloo, using a plethora of previously unpublished eyewitness accounts, letters and diaries, Robert Kershaw reveals the soldier's view of this iconic battle: how they felt, what they saw, what they smelt and what they heard enduring this epic confrontation on Sunday 18 June 1815.Visceral and raw, this is Waterloo as you've never experienced it before. Robert Kershaw is a former Para, having joined the Parachute Regiment in 1973, commanded 10 Para and left as a full Colonel in 2006. His active service includes tours in Northern Ireland, the first Gulf War (during which he was awarded the US Bronze Star) and Bosnia.

Blended learning combines the best in-person instruction and online technology to deliver student-centered learning.
Blended courses (also known as hybrid or mixed-mode courses) are classes where a portion of the traditional face-to-face instruction is replaced by web-based online learning. For students, blended courses offer the conveniences of online learning combined with the social and instructional interactions that may not lend themselves to online delivery (e.g., lab sections or proctored assessments). Blended learning takes place when a student learns at least in part online, with some element of student control over the time, place, path, and/or pace of their learning, while also enjoying the benefits that come with education at a brick-and-mortar school. (Christensen Institute definition)
Blended learning is personalized to meet an individual student's needs.
In an effort to implement blended learning in Stafford MSD, we have several initiatives that will enhance teacher instruction and give students the opportunity to take more ownership of their own learning. Those initiatives include the roll out of a new Learning Management System (Blackboard), the roll out of a one-to-one iPad initiative at the Middle School, and online learning options. Click each link below to learn more about each initiative.

Anderson Cooper: A 360 View on Rosie, Trump
Ok, so as a View devotee (and recent interviewer of Executive Producer Bill Geddie), I've of course been taken by this whole Rosie/Trump battle. In case you're focusing on more, um, significant matters, here's the summary:
After reports of Miss USA, Tara Conner, drinking, snorting cocaine and gallivanting with guys, Donald Trump, who owns the pageant, held a news conference to pardon the 21-year-old. Rosie O'Donnell then called out Trump on The View for exploiting the girl and staging the whole thing to get publicity for the new season of his show The Apprentice, which premieres in January.
She told him to "sit and spin, my friend," likened him to a "snakeoil salesman" and said he'd been "bankrupt so many times, where he didn't have to pay the people he owed." Trump then hit the press circuit, telling the Insider that Rosie was "disgusting," and "a slob" who "talks like a truck driver" and that he wanted to take "some money out of her fat-ass pockets." He also told the New York Daily News that when he saw the tape, he said he was going to send one of his "friends" to "take" her girlfriend.Quoting the article: "I imagine it would be pretty easy to take her girlfriend away, considering how Rosie looks."
Ok, it's all ridiculous. But not so much that CNN's - and the blogosphere's - favorite newsman Anderson Cooper didn't want in on the action. On last night's 360, after playing clips of both Rosie and Trump, Cooper deadpanned: (click here for full episode transcript) "I don't even know what to say. I think these two people take themselves far too seriously. Anyway, I don't want to get into this. I don't even know what to say. I'm completely verklempt. So let's just move on, shall we? Let's."
Buuut, he didn't do that before mocking Connor's teary apology - what he called his "favorite sound bite of the week," saying he was going to be "the best gosh darn Miss USA you've ever seen." Hmm…
On today's View, Rosie had but a smirk for Donald, although she did bring her partner Kelli to the show saying she was afraid someone with a combover might otherwise have taken her away. (clip courtesy of The Blog You Love to Hate via YouTube)
One thing no one except Gawker seems to have picked up on, Conner was a guest judge on episode two of this past season of Bravo's Project Runway . She had the designers pitch her gowns and got on famously with Kayne, the endearingly loquacious pageant expert - seemed like a nice girl then.
I was hoping Bravo's resident blogging mouthpiece Andy Cohen might give us some inside dish on his post today, but all he gave the whole shenanigan was a mere "niblet" about how riveting he finds the Rosie/Trump feud. Disappointing.

GREEN: A $5 million �Central Park� could be completed by late 2015 or early 2016, Mayor Dick Norton told the City Council.
Tony Slanec, director of planning and urban design for the architecture, engineering and design firm of OHM Advisors, showed the concept to Green residents and the council during a committee meeting Tuesday.
Plans call for the park to be on Town Park Boulevard in front of the Central Administration Building and stretch southward to Steese Road. It could be connected to the Veterans Memorial and John Torok Community Center.
The park would be built on more than 5 acres of city-owned land and would be designed with everyone in the community in mind, regardless of age or interests.
Norton said the cost is an early estimate, but he emphasized after the meeting that the park�s location is fixed and won�t be placed anywhere else. Some residents oppose the plan because of potential noise and traffic issues.
�There�s a reason it�s called �Central Park,�?� Norton said.
The park would consist of an amphitheater with lawn seating for 525 people, which could be expanded by another 200 onto adjoining green space; a farmers market and pavilion for year-round use; three splash pads for different age groups; a Century Garden, where those living at the nearby four-story senior housing center could plant flowers and gardens; and an enlarged, aerated pond with fishing decks and other amenities built out into the water.
There would be a concession stand and cafe area near the splash pads and playground that would include shade sails of durable netting to protect from the sun those sitting and watching the children play.
Norton said there is no start date yet, adding that �over the next few months, we will continue to gather feedback, and we are going to nail the plan down and then come to council for support and the money for design and engineering drawings.�
To fund the park, Norton said the city would go to the bond market, �take advantage of our credit rating� and issue short-term notes that would be paid off by council allocating $1 million annually from the Parks Division capital funding from income tax collections to pay off the debt.
City ordinance requires that 7 percent of income tax collections � about $1.2 million annually � be put into the parks� capital improvement fund.
�Our current funding, plus the $625,000 sale of the Belden Lodge in Southgate Park, will completely pay for the existing projects we have on the books,� Norton said.
Ward 3 Councilman Ken Knodel said he wants residents� input so it �becomes their park right from the get-go.�
Highpoint Drive resident Terry Walton opposed the location because of the noise and traffic experienced during the Memorial Day weekend�s Taste of Green and because of music and noise generated by patio music from the Legends Pub and Grille and Bulldog Stadium directly behind the Central Administration Building.
City resident Karl Kerstetter said he doesn�t oppose the park concept or location, �but I do oppose the amphitheater location and noise level.�
Some suggested locating the facility at Boettler Park, but that isn�t an option, Norton said.
The mayor said that before the end of this year he would like to see council approve the concept, then in nine to 12 months have construction plans complete.
�So I would hope we could get this bid and have this thing built by late 2015 and mid-2016,� Norton said.
