We are responsible for speed limits on all public roads in Somerset, except the M5 and trunk roads (A36 and A303). The reason for providing speed limits is to improve safety for all road users.
We set local speed limits where drivers should adopt a speed which is different from the national speed limit because of local needs and considerations. Local speed limits can be reduced or increased, depending on the conditions and evidence.
The Department for Transport has issued guidance to be used for setting all local speed limits on single and dual carriageway roads in urban and rural areas. Our criteria for setting the right limit for any road takes into account existing traffic speed, accident history, the amount of traffic, frequency of junctions, and building development and amenities. Unrealistic speed limits are frequently abused and can prove very expensive and difficult for the police to enforce. Any changes to, or the implementation of, speed limits should be in accordance with the latest Department for Transport guidance.
Laws and regulation These are governed by Department for Transport (DfT) guidance on the Setting of Local Speed Limits (Circular Roads 01/2006). Speed limits should be evidence-led, self-explaining and seek to reinforce people's assessment of what is a safe speed to travel. They should encourage self-compliance and not be seen by drivers as being a target speed at which to drive in all circumstances. In deciding an appropriate speed limit for a road, one of the key issues to be studied is the existing speed of traffic - setting speed limits too far below measured traffic speeds is very unlikely to be effective. 20 Successful 20mph zones and speed limits should generally be self enforcing. Such speed limits are unlikely to be complied with on roads where vehicle speeds are substantially higher than this unless accompanied by traffic calming measures. Research by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) showed that where speed limits alone were introduced, speed reductions of only about 2mph were achieved. 20mph speed limits are therefore only recommended in areas where vehicle speeds are already low (24mph or below is recommended) or additional traffic calming measures are implemented. 30 The standard speed limit in urban areas in 30mph, representing a balance between the mobility and safety of road users, especially more vulnerable groups. These are generally built-up areas where frontage development with individual accesses on both sides of the road exist, such as city streets, towns and residential areas. Hazards, such as junctions, inadequate visibility, pedestrian crossings, schools, recreation grounds and public amenities support the need for a 30mph limit and make it appear sensible to the motorist. 40 The 40mph limit is used in similar built-up areas to the 30mph limit, but where the traffic hazards cause less risk of accidents. For example, the buildings may be set back from the road and be in an area of lower density, perhaps sometimes with service roads, or grass verges between the road and pavement. Main traffic routes (for example, ring and radial routes) with good width and layout, but with a high proportion of two-wheeled vehicles and pedestrians may be restricted to the 40mph limit. By-passes and other important traffic routes which have become partially developed, or main roads through villages, may also be included in a 40mph limit. 50 and 60 A speed limit of 50mph can be made on high standard roads where the area has become lightly built up with some frontage development. The traffic composition is likely to be light in terms of pedestrian and cycle activity, and crossings are provided by means of subways and bridges. High standard roads with restricted visibility or junctions may be considered for the 50mph limit and rural roads, not necessarily developed, but with features that attract traffic manoeuvres such as cafés, sports grounds and filling stations. Dual carriageways may be restricted to a 60mph limit where some of the above features exist. Support We do not have a specific speed limit fund. Some communities and parish councils can apply where the change does not qualify for Local Transport Plan (LTP) funding. Providing speed limits comply with the DfT guidelines, do not conflict with LTP objectives and the parish councils meet the full costs, there is no reason why new limits should not be introduced.

Counselling Essay Evaluation
This essay will evaluate the skills used by a counsellor, Dr Berenson during a counselling session with a client named Rose. Various counselling skills will be identified and the effectiveness of their use and the impact of them on the client will be evaluated. Further to this, suggestions for more effective use of the skills will be made, also addressing the potential impact these might have on the client. While one of the main aims of the counselling process is to allow a therapeutic dialogue to occur (McLeod, 2007), as Armstrong (2006) suggests, the effective and appropriate use of counselling skills or tools enables the counsellor to support the client in clearly verbalising their story and also to ensure they themselves understand what is and what isn't being said within this dialogue. For the purposes of this assignment, an audio of the counselling session along with a transcript of it have been used. In the absence of a visual account of the session much importance is then placed on the tone and pace of the participants' speech as well as other verbal cues such as silences. Rose, the client has come to see Dr Berenson to find some sort of resolution to the issues she is facing around her daughter's sleeping routine. Having been an ill baby, Rose's five year old daughter has rarely slept in her own bed all night since birth. Rose has tended to respond to her daughters crying at night by bringing her into her own bed in order to settle the crying. She and her husband decided several months earlier that this pattern of behaviour needed to end and so resolved to attempt various 'reinforcement programmes'. From early on in the session Dr Berenson clearly establishes an empathetic presence with Rose. This is clearly evident through the warmth and tone of his voice and his encouraging verbal prompts. In joining with the client, Dr Berenson is creating a foundation for a safe and supportive relationship to develop. Through the use of his voice, his patient and thoughtful
tone, and clearly his undivided attention, he develops rapport with Rose, further enhancing the counselling relationship they are participating in. In Rogers(1957) reference to the six counselling conditions necessary to produce change within a client(as cited in Hackney & Cormier, 2009), he highlights the need for empathic understanding in establishing an effective therapeutic relationship. Rogers (1987) with reference to accurately experienced empathy states that "Listening of this very special active kind, is one of the most potent forces of change that I know." (pg 67, as cited in Hackney & Cormier, 2009) As suggested by Egan (2007) this use of empathetic presence clearly demonstrates to the client the counsellor's commitment to both client and the counselling process. Dr Berenson's use of verbal prompts early on in the session as shown in the following extract encourages Rose to tell her story while also validating and acknowledging her feelings and further developing rapport. R:.....she has seldom slept in her own bed through the whole night. BB: Mmmmm
R:..... and if I brought her back to her bed, we're back at it again only a few minutes later. BB: Ummmm
Following on from this Dr Brenson further establishes rapport with the client with his use of empathy when he responds; BB: ...that had to be very frustrating for you because every time you made some progress.
In identifying and acknowledging the feelings of frustration that Rose may have experienced, Dr Berenson shows advanced accurate empathy with the client. While understanding the content of her narrative, he also goes further into understanding the meaning and significance of it for her. This is an example of Welsh and Gonzalez's (1999) idea of the need for counsellors to communicate on two levels, that of the content of the narrative and then the meaning and significance of it for the client ( as cited in Hackney & Cormier,...

With the advent of modern technology, humankind has progressed exponentially. Driver less cars, medical cures to terminal diseases and virtual networking being some of the fruits of the ever-growing science. But have you ever realized how the fast pacing technology affects one's identity in the modern contemporary era. For me it is not a sociological but an experiential question. One needs to relate oneself to the amount of hours spent on the use of technology to the effective loss of hours which could have been utilized for socializing. This perspective being subjective in nature cannot be verified through an empirical analysis. The greater the existence in the virtual world the greater it inversely effects the idea of one's being in the real physical world. The strength of virtual networking is such that it has hampered upon our social skills and created a hiatus in our daily social interactions. However, we all are inextricably imbibed in this modern phase and I see no reason to deny this quotient of indissolubility of our identity with technology. The fact that the use as well as the misuse of technology is in the hands of the user one should inherently limit and suggest the circumference of ones interaction with modern-day technology. The interface between human and technology is mutually coexisting in nature and the dependency factor in such an equation is quite high. Any form of departure from all forms of technology will be reversion to the state of nature and is highly preposterous. The evolution of the digital self is directly linked to the active exposure one receives through electronic modes of communications such as internet, media, movies etc. Placing the responsibility on the individual is the only solution to the rise of compulsive internet usage disorder among the youths of today. The balance and harmony are to be maintained as human are social animals. Any replacement of 'in person' communicative skills through 'internet chat' does not positively fulfill the innate human desire to socialize but does serve the objective of connectivity. As I stated earlier that this idea of transformation is subjective and experience based, I would tell you about the change in the nature of relationship between me and my one friend due to the advancement of the telecom sector (let's call that person 'X' for purpose of anonymity). I and my friend shared a cordial relation from childhood. However, after we left for our higher studies in different cities the flame of our friendship grew dull due to growing distance. But, then came the savior chat system of instant messaging and now I remain connected to my friend even when I am hundreds of miles away. And whenever I meet my friend in person we always talk and mingle in the same manner as we used to before; sometimes even more than before! This shows that if wisely used, technology can play a great role in the rise of interpersonal relationships but it is up to an individual to constraint himself and not to allow oneself to fall slave to the technology. I embrace my digital self but with great circumspection and caution and I would conclude by saying that "Technology isn't all obsessive and gross if the user makes it known to the technology who's the boss."
2 thoughts on "The Transformation Of 'Me' Into A 'Digital Me'"
I think one should celebrate one day as "NO TECH DAY" so that one would get a chance to realise both the things as how life could be without technology and other one will realise what he missed with the evolution of new digital world. I must say one will realise that we should follow the balance other wise we wouldn't be able to save our self from the predicaments that we are facing and that we r gonna face.
I appreciate the movie ' Jaane tu ya Jaane na…'where imran avoided the use of mobile phone which is the main attracting point for me in the movie but at last one has to meet him face to face which is far far better than beeping message whose emotions one has to interpret in his own style which is worse in some situations. Moreover I urge everyone to write letters and post them to your relatives or friends , even I followed that and it is amazing experience as with letter one feels reality of ones presence and can save it for memories which can be seen by new generations and rejuvenate the situation again and again. I have experienced it as when my grand pa expired we opened his old trunk and found many diaries and letters from his relatives and friends and we get a chance to share to each visitor and give them again a new memories that one has forgotten. Technology brings great changes and we appreciate this but in lure of comfort and ease we should not forget to make demanding balance.

Hardy LeBel's Blog
I've always been a storyteller. I grew up playing Dungeons & Dragons and every other tabletop role-playing game I could get my hands on. I eventually earned my BA in English from Boston University where I was a Gold Key merit scholar.
Before I got my break into video games I worked for years as a freelance writer and illustrator. Then I got my chance, and for the past 18 years I've been a creative professional in the video games industry. You might know my work on games like Halo, Halo 2, SOCOM 3, or FarCry 2. You might have played some of the stuff I helped publish, like Dungeon Siege 2 or Jade Empire. Maybe you're even old enough to remember Oni, PacMan World 20th Anniversary, Vigilante 8 or the first game I ever worked on; Apocalypse (starring Bruce Willis).
A big part of every one of my jobs has always been writing - everything from text mission descriptions, voiceover dialogue and cinematic scripts all the way up to creating entire game intellectual properties.
In my most recent gig, I was a founder and Executive Creative Director at the mobile game studio Industrial Toys. As I was working on the flagship game Midnight Star, my youngest child asked me. "Daddy, will I be allowed to play your new game?" I had to say no. It's a shooter after all. And as I said it, I realized that it was time for me to make a change.
Now I've dedicated myself to my writing. I'm determined to do creative work that's timeless, and accessible to audiences of all ages.
(And maybe talk a little bit about games along the way.)

There is a dangerous misconception that tribal governments are exempt from having to follow the uniform guidance because, instead, they follow the statutes or regulations of their funding agencies.
Tribal governments, however, are not 100% exempt. For instance: In areas like audit requirements, Appendix V and Appendix VII, thinking you're exempt could expose you to costly enforcement actions. Plus, even when exemptions are available under Uniform Guidance, similar requirements may be in force under the ISDEAA—and tribal governments are not exempt from complying with those.
Clearly, having a basic understanding of how exemptions apply under the Uniform Guidance will help tribal governments and those who work with them better manage their grants. Let an expert show you what you need to know.
Register now for Tribal Government Exemptions Under the Uniform Guidance
In this 90-minute webinar, federal grants consultant Sandra Swab explains what specific aspects of the Uniform Guidance apply to tribal governments. You'll also learn about exemptions to following the Uniform Guidance are applied under the Indian Self-determination and Education Assistance Act (ISEAA), as well as how key actions from DOI and HHS are affecting your funding agencies.
A model for improved grants management. From Subpart F audit requirements, to Appendices V and VII, you'll master how Uniform Guidance requirements that affect tribal governments—and where an exemption under the guidance might still be a requirement under the ISEAA. You'll also discover how to use the Uniform Guidance to improve grant management and chances of getting tribal councils to accept grants. You'll even have the chance to ask your own questions during the Q&A portion of the webinar.
Reserve your space now for expert guidance on how to comply with the uniform guidance and how to use it improve overall grants management, including:
Remember, tribal governments are not completely exempt from following the Uniform Guidance. Don't miss this opportunity for expert guidance on where your compliance efforts must go beyond what your grant funding agency requires.

Bitcoin (BTC): Short squeeze???
BITSTAMP:BTCUSD Bitcoin / U.S. Dollar
404 views
With such a massive bear sentiment out there one has to then look at the bullish outcomes for squeezing all of the over zealous shorters. The house has to win, not the table, thus is only makes sense that if we are flirting with 60% short position that it has to go up....right? I'd go with 399 and 379 as the "this ship's going down" levels.

EAST JORDAN - An East Jordan man who spent the past year serving with the U.S. Army in the heart of Iraq received a hero's welcome when he returned to his hometown Thursday.
At about 4:45 p.m. Thursday a police car, fire truck and ambulance met the vehicle carrying U.S. Army Sgt. Matt Vincent, 35, on M-66 just outside the city limits and gave him a lights-and-sirens escort through the city to his home on the city's east side.
A group of a couple dozen people then greeted Vincent at the corner of Fifth and Mill streets with cheers, flags and a big welcome home banner. The group then followed the few blocks to Vincent's home where hugs and smiles were plentiful.
Vincent served for the past 11 1/2 months with the Army's 1440th Engineers unit as a firefighter at the U.S. airfield in Mosul.

The sun rising over Angkor Wat, Cambodia may be the most breathtaking experience you'll ever see. A favorite in the AWAKEN Collection, the Aurora Tassel Necklace is inspired by the sun peeking over the hand-carved domes in Angkor Wats expansive ground. All Flaca Jewelry pieces are 18KT gold plated sterling silver or antiqued sterling silver. We recommend cleaning as often as needed using a polishing cloth or a soft cotton cloth on any metal parts to reduce tarnish. Please keep in mind, due to personal pH levels of peoples' skin and the frequency of wear, some jewelry may tarnish more quickly for some. Since exposure to air can also oxidize jewelry, we recommend storing jewelry in an air tight pouch, rather than keeping it exposed to air.

Shadow Justice Secretary (and shadow deputy prime minister, which is why he has a go at Nick Clegg at the despatch box sometimes) Jack Straw will not stand for the Shadow Cabinet this autumn, and will pursue other interests instead, I heard this week. When I asked a friend if he had any jobs lined up, he replied: "Yeah – on the backbenches." So that's pretty clear I guess.
This has implications. Jack Straw was one of the obstacles to a cross-party agreement on reform of the funding of political parties, when Labour was in power. The sticking point was donations from trade unions; Straw's white paper on party funding protected it, and he didn't budge on it in talks. The Tories wanted the total donation given by a union to be treated as a single donation and capped; Labour wanted it treated as lots of individual donations from union members who were political levy payers. Unions comfortably form the single biggest source of donations to Labour; without them, the party would go broke quite fast. Now Labour is in a minority, that funding model is going to be challenged. Within a year, we could see union donations capped almost out of existence.
Question is – will his successor as shadow justice secretary act the same way when the coalition government comes asking for talks on the very same subject?
Who could be the next in line? A quick scan of Labour MPs with a profile and a background in the law suggests David Lammy, Emily Thornberry, Harriet Harman – could they be relied on to fight to preserve the union link in its current form? (Harman probably yes, seeing as her husband was deputy general secretary of Unite till recently).
Whoever is party leader by then will of course have the final say. All the candidates have said the Labour-union link must be preserved – but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be amended. And of course Labour alone cannot stop a new party funding bill from becoming law. Hence the shadow justice secertary's crucial role, as constitutional affairs spokesperson, in deciding how much ground to cede.
Both Labour and the unions would lose if union donations were capped; if (as previously suggested) the cap were, say, £50,000 in a year, that would cut the value of the unions' donations by hundreds of thousands if not millions of pounds. The unions would lose influence; Labour would face bankruptcy.

Duran Duran! Enjoy!
School's Out!
If you're like me or anyone from the Tuange Team who goes to school, you are ecstatic about the semester or quarter being done and over with. Summer break is now upon us and that means it's time to fill the day where school used to happen with other things like, work or the beach and maybe even sleeping in a little bit. For me, it will be working more hours and spending time with my family. Here are a few songs to get your summer break started. Enjoy!!! ~ LiLi M.
Here are the links for Nirvana, Alice Cooper, Van Halen, Young MC, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Ramones, and
Duran Duran! Enjoy!
If I Had a Tardis
If I had a Tardis, I'd time travel to my heart's content. This playlist is a collection of songs that take me to another place and/or time, or even just remind me of another place and time. We've all been asked that question: If you could time travel to any time, when would it be? I personally would have loved to go to a party with the Fitzgeralds' in the 1920's or go fishing with Johnny Cash (hey, it sounds fun). Anyways, I warn you that this playlist is more random than most. Just let the music take you away. Leave what you'd like to do if you could time travel in a comment below! - Deanna T.
If you like what you hear, check out The Mamas & the Papas, Cole Porter, Bob Dylan, The Dear Hunter, Janis Joplin, Glenn Miller Orchestra, Gotye, Annuals, Johnny Cash.
Although the usual rock and pop music is played all over radio stations across the globe, electronic dance music has made its way to the top. With artists like Skrillex and David Guetta conquering radio stations and music festivals, many EDM genres are given the appreciation they deserve. This playlist features an interesting EDM genre that has been taking over the world for the past few years—dubstep. These are ten mind-blowing dubstep tracks including music by Seven Lions, Skrillex, and Knife Party. Drop the bass! - Jordan M.
Check out Knife Party, Srillex, CENOB1TE, Seven Lions, and Adventure Club Dub right here!

Reproducing the Issue
This example is specific to the Recommendations Newsletter but can occur with any Notification Template that includes Direct / Deep Links or Syntax Tags that contain Direct Links:
- Login to Learning Admin
- Go to System Admin > Configuration > Notification template
- Search for ApmRecommendationsNewsletter
- Check Launch editor and apply changes.
- From Learning Home, recommend any existing item in learning page to another user account
- Go to System Admin >Automatic Process > schedule Recommendation Newsletter to run immediately
- Note the received email shows HTML code:
Additional issues:
- When reviewing the Message Body in the Notification Editor, the "P2P_RECOMMENDATION_ACCESS_URI" and ADMIN_RECOMMENDATION_ACCESS_URI Syntax Tags appear to have other tags within them
- The Editor does not allow the (x) to be clicked to remove the Access URI Syntax Tags
- The Source Code view shows the same thing, that the tags appear to be spliced within each other
- Label errors appear when attempting to remove the bad tags:
- label.Error
- Please report the following error to your system administrator error.instruction:
- The page you requested does not exist: /ui/learning-notification-editor/pages/admin/ <span class= error.instruction.httpError.404
- The Notification Editor has a limitation that does not support Direct / Deep Links in Syntax Tags
- Support for Direct Links in the Notification Editor is being added in Release b1705 under LRN-16920
I. Set the Recommendation Newsletter Notification to use the plain text notification instead of the Notification Editor (this is the easiest workaround and will allow the direct links to be used in the Notification):
- Login to Learning Admin
- Navigate to System Admin > Configuration > Notification Templates
- Search for and open Templated ID = ApmRecommendationsNewsletter
- Click the "Messages" tab on the left
- Uncheck "Use Editor Content When Sending Email Notification:"
- Click "Apply Changes" to save the changes
II. Remove the Syntax Tags that contain Direct Links
This will require the Source Code in the Notification Editor to be modified since the Editor does not allow them to be removed from the rich text editor and therefore knowledge of HTML is needed:
- Login to Learning Admin
- Navigate to System Admin > Configuration > Notification Templates
- Search for and open Templated ID = ApmRecommendationsNewsletter
- Click the "Messages" tab on the left
- Click the hyperlink for "Launch Editor"
- Click the icon for '<>' in the tool bar to launch the source code editor
- Modify the source code manually to remove the tags for the direct links
Do note that this workaround will not allow the use of Direct Links in the Notification, therefore the first workaround above is recommended.

Happy 4th of July to all of you!!
I am home again after spending a week in the north woods of Wisconsin. I was in Minocqua at my sister's lake cabin with brother, sister, spouses, nieces, nephews and our own 2 sons. It was a great time of relaxing, eating, doing puzzles and swimming. I even golfed after about 15 years and surprised myself greatly! So, now home to get organized, make bracelets and schedule parties so I can "go" again! I found some neat beads in Tegucigalpa, Honduras and also some in northern Wisconsin. I am anxious to make some new bracelets!
Just a reminder.........if your bracelet beads are not wearing well do let me know. I have a policy to replace them free of charge because I want anything you wear from Prayers and Squares to be of the best quality. Sometimes the vintage beads chip or fade and I never know what they will do a head of time. If I have any come back, I immediately throw those beads away. So, please don't hesitate to contact me in such a case.
Until the next time...Fondly, Julie

Not that I aspire to become a self-centered ass, but I am going to direct my energies more towards things I can change, like myself, rather than focusing SO MUCH energy on the regretful past or the imagined future. Living in the past/future leaves a virtually meaningless present. That being said, my list, not of things to necessarily be done this year, per say, but to work towards in general. In no particular order…
- Sign up for kickboxing
- Become kinder
- Become kick-ass
- Take singing lessons
- Improve my painting skills
- Audition for something
- Become less cynical
- Stop getting rabid over little things, like a printer not working or some yahoo cutting me off in traffic. In other words, let go of the little things
- Take dancing lessons with my husband
- See more plays
- Stay sober
- Write more
- Photograph more
- Play with my kid more
- Live in the moment
On the subject of acting/auditioning; Something possessed me to google "late bloomers" in terms of acting. Even though the majority of the actors referenced in the article I found were people who had been working in the movies/theater for decades, the article focused more on when they actually "hit it big", which was later in their 30's, 40's or 50's. The article actually referenced 32 as being past your prime. Kinda like basketball players, right? So here I am, reading how rare it is to succeed the older you are and blah, blah, blah, when this little voice inside me asks, "why the hell are you reading this crap? what does this have to do with you?" I then realized I was setting myself up for failure. Without even realizing it, I had approached the idea of taking a creative leap as an impossible feat. Like the nasty voice inside me (I call her Agnes….not a literal voice I hear, mind you, just a name I've given my negativity) was saying, "you want to do what? well, let me show you how impossible that will be. suck on that!"
I had to pull back, and remind myself that my focus should be on taking little steps. Go on an audition. See what happens. Don't worry about the result, just take that leap. If it works, great, if it doesn't, try again. So, to add to the list…
- Replace negative thoughts with positive ones; aka, kick Agnes' ass. Tell the b*tch to pound sand.

Collaborative fun for all
Collaborative Spaces on the second and third floor have modernized our school and invite creativity.
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
In the past couple months, Wakefield established unique collaborative spaces to allow students to find comfort outside of their classrooms. These new spaces can be found in the 2300 hallway and the 300 hallway where the locker bays used to be. There are tables with comfortable chairs, a whiteboard with dry erase markers for educational purposes, and a television, which can be hooked up to a laptop and project the screen that the laptop is displaying.
Assistant Principal Dr. Vivian Wells oversaw the majority of the planning of the spaces and is hopeful that the new spaces will create an opportunity for collaboration.
"When you look up the dictionary definition of the word collaboration, it talks about working together," Wells said. "And that is one of the main goals we have for the spaces here at Wakefield."
Students have been venturing into the spaces during classes, pride time and after school. They may be attracted to the vibrant colors, the wrap around artwork or just the inviting atmosphere.
"The spaces are very nice and organized," Junior Brynn Moore said. "During pride time and other designated study times, it's a comfortable space and an alternate from the classroom."
Many students and teachers see the collaborative spaces as an amazing opportunity to get away from the normal, routine setting of their everyday classroom.
"They [collaborative areas] are open to students during pride time, and before and after school," Assistant Principal Mr. Wolfe said. "It's a defined area where students can go and get work done"
Although the spaces are open to students during lunch time, food is not permitted. The spaces are not areas for socializing. The main purpose of these new additions is to invite students and teachers into a different learning environment to complete work. The money came partly from a grant Dr. Wells applied for and partly from the Just Think First association.
"I think it was a very good investment. It gives students another destination, aside from the ones they use everyday, to get their work done," Senior Justin Decooman said. "I just wish we had them before the end of my senior year."
If teachers wish to reserve the collaborative spaces for their classes, they may reserve them by going to a Google Doc that can be found on the media center's website.
"The teachers on duty are there to make sure work gets done, but to also help students who need it as well," Wolfe said.
Students are allowed to use televisions for movies, or video games. However, if they wish to play video games they must be G-rated.
"I really just wish the students would respect and take care of the spaces," Wells said. "There should not be any trash in there [collaborative spaces] students should be sure to clean the tables, floor, and the glass board after it gets used."

By nature, I'm an eater and a food lover. I started watching Julia Child before I as was a teenager, and I've been in love with all things Food Network since. And I, along with the rest of the world, am in a constant battle to find the right balance between health and taste. Between pleasing a hungry farmer and a growing toddler, I'm forever in search of a few great recipes.
I had this amazing bean and veggie salad/dip at a family reunion last year, and I've since made it at least three times. It's a huge hit. The ingredients are all healthy (minus the fact that the beans come from a can- but I always choose the low sodium varieties and rinse them really well), and the texture is just perfect. The dish holds up well in all temperatures, and seriously pleases the entire crowd.
I had to share, in light of the recent Super Bowl festivities, because I'm always glad to have a healthy ready-to-go recipe in time for a crowd.
Texas Caviar (aka delicious bean/veggie salad/dip)
1 can blackeye peas
1 can black beans
1 can white shoepeg corn
5 stalks celery
1/2 of a small onion
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
2 avocadoes
2 tblsp olive oil
2 tblsp apple cider vinegar
1 tblsp honey
juice of 1 lime
2 tblsp cilantro
Drain and rinse beans and corn, add to large bowl. Finely dice onion, celery, bell pepper and add to bowl. Mix vinaigrette: mix oil, vinegar, and lime juice, then whisk in honey until well mixed. Pour over bean/vegetable mixture. Add cilantro. Chill this mixture for at least an hour. Add avocado just before serving.
I must mention, though, that the acidity of this vinaigrette is just right, so the avocado doesn't turn brown, even 24 hours after making it!
It's best chilled, but it can sit out for hours and and is still really tasty.
I hope you can find a place for this delicious recipe in your wild partying life ;)

Bratton: Mayor was slow to recognize homeless issue
A day after Police Commissioner Bill Bratton called members of the City Council "obstructive and destructive," leading Mayor Bill de Blasio to note that he disagreed with that characterization, the commissioner said the mayor was slow to acknowledge "what we were all seeing" regarding the city's homeless population.
"I think a mistake that the administration made early on was not validating what we all were seeing," Bratton said Thursday during a panel discussion sponsored by the Manhattan Institute. "The problem was increasing and so, for a period of time, [they were] not admitting what everybody was seeing and feeling, including myself, in my neighborhood."
Story Continued Below
Bratton's remarks were made in the presence of a senior advisor to the mayor, Phil Walzak, who joined the commissioner on the panel. The two men retreated behind the dais after the discussion and before Bratton spoke to reporters.
In a statement to reporters following the event, de Blasio press secretary Karen Hinton said the mayor is working aggressively to combat homelessness. She did not directly address Bratton's criticisms of the administration. Hinton said, "The Mayor is moving aggressively to tackle this problem head-on. This week, he announced the boldest plan any administration has offered — $2.6 billion for 15,000 units of supportive housing [for homeless people], many of whom are mentally ill and drug addicted. The Mayor increased other homeless programs by $1 billion over four years, ordered homeless encampments cleared, and dispatched street outreach teams to provide housing and services to street homeless."
Bratton also discussed the challenges of dealing with homeless people who may be emotionally disturbed or on drugs. "It is not easy," Bratton said. "I'm as frustrated as you are. I have a neighborhood that has significant homeless problems. I have homeless shelters that have treatment centers and I'm in one of the better areas of the East Side. I experience it every day as you do."
Bratton contended that "this homeless problem has not crept up on us. My sense of it is it has exploded in the last two years."
Later, he sought to clarify his remarks. "My comment is that this administration, in the two years I've been working with it, has been addressing the issue," Bratton told reporters. He said some figures showed a decline in homelessness, "but the specificity I was referencing was the street population — the service resistant population [who] in many instances will never go into a shelter. And that population, we're all aware, has grown dramatically ... And when I visit other cities, I see it's exploding in those cities also. This is a national epidemic at the moment."
Back in August, de Blasio criticized reporters who asked about the rising homeless population. "The numbers have not appreciably increased," the mayor said. "What we have to do better is deal with the mental health issue."
Bratton also offered a cautionary note about allowing refugees into the country, saying he supports the move but adding that any attempt to vet refugees to ensure that they are not potential terrorists would be "very difficult."
Bratton said there will be a "potential risk" in accepting refugees, but quickly added, "There is always going to be potential risk from anybody we are letting in from anywhere in the world."
"The Congress is demanding an absolute guarantee — life doesn't work that way," he said.
Today's remarks were the latest example of the unusual, and sometimes headache-inducing, relationship between the freshman mayor and the veteran police commissioner.
De Blasio has long relied on Bratton to drive down crime and protect his administration from criticism that safety and quality of life would decline under his watch. His success in public safety has enabled de Blasio to focus on delivering other elements of his progressive agenda, like creating a free, pre-kindergarten program citywide, and traveling the country to discuss national issues.
But de Blasio has also been forced to respond to comments made publicly by Bratton, who admittedly enjoys being in the spotlight. In September, Bratton described his autonomy, telling the Wall Street Journal, "there's no requirement that things are run by [de Blasio's] office to approve before I do them."

UPDATE: This story was updated to include comments from the mayor's office.

Democrats in Disarray: Unsure Whether to Push Amnesty-or-Shutdown Agenda
When it comes to demanding amnesty for illegal aliens shielded from deportation by the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, Democrat leaders are giving up on trying to shut down the federal government by holding up the upcoming spending bill unless DACA amnesty is included.
@SenatorDurbin tells Chris: Congress is not going to have a shutdown over #DACA pic.twitter.com/XvYL6JQOaN — FoxNewsSunday (@FoxNewsSunday) March 18, 2018
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), a prominent defender of open borders in the Senate, has hinted at only supporting a spending bill that includes amnesty for illegal aliens.
For example, a DACA amnesty would put more citizen children of illegal aliens — known as "anchor babies" — on federal welfare, as Breitbart News reported, while American taxpayers would be left with, potentially, a $26 billion bill.
Any plan to give amnesty to DACA illegal aliens that does not also include provisions to halve legal immigration levels — the U.S. admits more than one million legal immigrants a year at the expense of America's working and middle class — would give amnestied illegal aliens the opportunity to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country.

The McCaleb family live in Tucson AZ, have been exchanging for 10 years and are proud members at HomeExchange.com. When people ask them why they travel so much, they simply tell them they "Home Exchange ". Here is a typical conversation I would have with someone after telling them we "Home Exchange"… Really?! You let strangers stay in your home?! Well, yes, we do. But by the time of the home exchange, we hardly feel like strangers anymore. We've been exchanging information via email and phone, finding out from one another what would enhance…
Little did she think when she dropped the first letter into the post box offering their house for exchange that this was a process she was destined to repeat many times over the next thirty years! Meet Irene, from Scotland.
12 months, 31 States, 11 National Parks, 11 Home Exchanges and one extraordinary adventure. Meet Roz and Steve, who completed an amazing roadtrip in USA.
We enjoyed a wonderful home exchange for two weeks with a nice family from a suburb north of Sydney. They wanted to go skiing in Colorado – we wanted warm weather and Aussie adventure.
We knew we would love Sydney, but many things surprised us – in a good way!
The time leading up to a very first home exchange is always filled with excitement. And also, sometimes, worry. These HomeExchangers share memories of their first times — the hesitations and doubts — and how they came away convinced and enthusiastic for more!
Meet Krupa and Varun, a wanderlust couple from Miami who allow the HomeExchange inquiries decide their travel destinations for them. Paris, St John's, Barcelona and Buenos Aires!
Not too long ago, Jim Pickell, President of HomeExchange, shared his personal story with you. In it, he revealed how HomeExchange changed his life. Hundreds of you replied with inspiring stories of how it changed yours. Here are a few of them.
Audrey, Fabien and their three kids, aka Family Globe Exchange, are exchanging their home in the French town of Yzernay and embarking on a trip of a lifetime: a year-long, round-the-world family tour with 12 home exchanges along the way.
Meet Kirsten and Ellen, good friends from Copenhaguen and both freelance translators. They got two home exchanges almost for the same dates: Kirsten to Montreal and Ellen to Sydney. Since it was Kirsten's first exchange, they decided to keep correspondence during their trips …And here's their funny and entertaining result!

- Traditional version from the Advocates for Self-Government

our residence of all the rooms, we no doubt utilise
a maximum of time in our living rooms. Though
it's redecorating can be costly and time-consuming,
but you can reshape your living room and give it a whole new lease of life
without expenses too much. You require
doing these things by thinking outside of the box. Use your thoughts and creativity for interior banner design to yours living room.
I'm sharing a guest post which has some artistic
ideas to assist you to put together a
great living room you feel affection for.
Followings are a few thinking
to assist you
to create a living room on a budget.
Get Crafty
Be artistic. Evaluate the room, banner design for walls and look at the deadly spots in the room and think to yourself
how you can live these up. Whether you have
a couple of empty, exposed walls? Fulfil
these. No need to go out to the nearest art gallery also. Simply a bit of DIY
here will be ideal.
about hanging colourful plates. Also, you
can arrange them in a pattern and take some ideas from Houzz with lots of tips
for hanging plates on your wall attractively. Or on the wall, you can place your own
art piece excitingly.
If you have an additional mirror lying around the home banner
gathering dust take it out of the loft or the spare room. Then hang it in your living room to deliver a bit
more makeup to the position.
it's an excellent idea to attempt various colour
combinations. Maybe have one wall a dissimilar
colour to another or have one colour
half way up the wall and a special colour on top.
Rather you can also spend
in colourful light shades to contrast or praise
your wall banner design colours
there anybody who dislikes candles? Also,
these are cheap to purchase, and they're
available in just about every colour and
size. Moreover, they make a grand showpiece
for just about any coffee table.
Plants and Flowers
can add some plants or flowers; they always bring life to a room. Also you can ornament the pots and vases with paint to bring extra colour, banner and makeup to the room.
Hopefully, the above tips will be helpful making your
living room colourful.

Over the course of the next 10 years, ETSU hopes to raise the average ACT score to a 24.
While the university is not too far from its goal, it recognizes that scores and grading are always different.
In fall 2016, the average ACT score for incoming freshmen was 23.2, which is up 1.1 points since Fall 2013.
A perfect score on the ACT is a 36, while the lowest possible score is one.
Nationally, the average ACT score in 2016 was a 20.8, according to Time Magazine.
While ETSU cannot prepare incoming students for the ACT, they can reach out to students with a higher ACT score in hopes that they will choose to attend ETSU.
"We really want to make sure they know that ETSU is a great place," said Brian Henley, director of admissions at ETSU. "We want to showcase all of our opportunities."
Over the past few years, ETSU has begun outreach for these high-achieving high school students by holding receptions, tours and orientations for students with an ACT score of a 24 or higher. ETSU has also increased the amount of out of state scholarships in hopes to make the university more feasible for out of state scholars.
The ACT is broken down into four sections: English, mathematics, reading and science.
There is also a writing section, which is optional for students to take.
For admittance, ETSU requires a minimum GPA of 2.3 on a 4.0 scale or a minimum composite ACT score of 19.
"ACT scores are only a fraction of admittance to ETSU," Henley said. "ACT is a good indication of how well students will do, but it's not everything."
The Academic Performance Scholarships are awarded based on the combination of GPA and ACT scores for all incoming freshmen. The University Honors Scholars program also relies partially on the ACT score.
The ACT being standardized provides a level playing field for students acrxoss the country, making at least once facet of the application comparable.

This week we'll commemorate the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It's a historic event and one that had many of us glued to the television screens as we watched all the proceedings throughout the weekend that followed, ending with his burial at Arlington Cemetery.
I've done a few previous columns regarding it, one trying to determine where people were and how they came to know that our president had lost his life. For me it was while working at the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. plant in Aliquippa and being told by carpenter foreman Joe Steppo, who heard the report on his car radio that the president was dead.
I was at the Pittsburgh Steelers-Chicago Bears game that Sunday and saw on televison before entering Forbes Field that his accused murderer, Lee Harvey Oswald, was gunned gunned down in the jail corridor by Jack Ruby.
There has been much debate since then about whether the National Football League should have canceled those games and joined other sports leagues that did. Ironically, it was a game where our local star, Aliquippa native and Hall-of-Famer Mike Ditka, made a play for the Bears that is still being shown as one of the highlight performances in the league's history.
This anniversary of JFK assassination has generated great media interest and we'll see more in The Times and from other media outlets over the next several days. Whenever I hear someone mention Jack Kennedy, it brings back a flood of memories of my connection to him.
The first time was in 1960 when Beaver County Prothonotary Tony Kubik, an early supporter of Kennedy, went to West Virginia for the primary election and came back with some Kennedy bumper stickers. That summer I took my wife and three children to Washington, D.C. We went to his Senate office, and although he wasn't there, his personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, gave us torpedo boat lapel pins with his name and "60" on it. We still have them.
When he came to the county to campaign, my memory is of standing on Maplewood Avenue in Ambridge and hoping to see him as the cars went by.
The next occasion was one of the high points of my life -- going to the his inauguration in January 1961 in Washington and being at the Inaugural Gala with so many stars of the entertainment world. Frank Sinatra bumped into my wife and former congressman Eugene Atkinson as he was heading to the stage to emcee the event.
The last time I saw him was his visit to Aliquippa in October 1962 and I remember being awed, along with the huge crowd, by this young, handsome, tanned man -- a World War II naval hero -- who was our president. Those first-hand experiences made his death hard to deal with.
There was another other news item recently that caught my attention -- the announcement by Hall-of-Fame football star Tony Dorsett of Hopewell Township that he was having degenerative brain problems.
Many of us might have witnessed the first time he received a head injury. It was in 1971 at Sharon, when he was a high school junior. It was a possible concussion and he wanted to get back in the game, but my old friend Dr. Wallace Zernich was the team physician and wouldn't allow it. To ensure that, they hid his helmet. Without him, it was the only game Hopewell lost that season, and that team is one many consider one of best in school history.
I knew Dorsett (before he came dor-Sett) as sixth-grader playing in the elementary school basketball program at the Kane Road school. It's sad seeing what he is going through now.

A six-seater Chevrolet Corvette limousine belonging to the 90s is going under the hammer at the Mecum Indy 2015 auction.
The Limousine is expected to be sold between $20,000 to $30,000 at the event. Under the hood of the C4 Corvette limousine, you will find an LT1 small-block V8 tower-of-power. The power mill is capable of producing 300 ponies.
The vehicle has done 23,889 original miles (38,445 km) on the odometer.
Well, if you bid for the limousine, which was earlier a sports car, you will get the 2010 Corvette Funfest Commemorative Book.

The Dragons have been playing pretty well in the absence of star fullback Josh Dugan, which is fortunate, because they're not going to have him for much longer.
The Sharks today announced the signing of Dugan from 2018, on a four-year deal. The contract will see Dugan in the Shire until at least the end of 2021.
It's unknown at this stage what position Dugan will play at Cronulla, though the Sharks made a point of referring to him in the press release as "a current Origin and Test centre", if that's any indication.
For the Dragons, the loss of Dugan creates a major hole at fullback at a time when they've also just lost starting front-rower Russell Packer.
Dugan has played 145 first grade games for the Dragons and Raiders, 9 Origins for New South Wales, and 7 Tests for Australia.
He was #7 on The Obstruction Rule's Free Agent Top 100.
