Reflection on case studies and clients and examples to illustrate points – this really helped it come alive. Good balance between examples of working in communities from different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds.
Unpacking of my own case very useful.
The examples that were given were very useful and enlightening. Great ideas on how to implement Narrative Practices. The DVD interview was a real eye-opener super helpful. The attention that was given to sexual abuse was helpful.
Video, consultation session, discussing of cases (real examples) Dealing with parents that are not supportive. Naming the problem/externalising conversations. Other colleagues sharing their insights and examples.

By Kathy Wallace
Thank you Sofia Collections for the opportunity to model this beautiful blue-gray silk top. I absolutely loved wearing it for the Forever51 blog.
The silk crepe is very lightweight, flows with every movement, and the lining provides an extra layer of softness and structure.
This piece is a definite addition to all wardrobes! Love and highly recommend Sofia Collections.
The Real-Real Behind the Scenes
Editor's Note: We shot these photos at the 21C Museum Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City. The sculpture behind Kathy is called "River of Time," which is an arrangement of four moving conveyor belts made up of acrylic panels and LED lights. Artist James Clar wanted this artwork to pay tribute to the history of the building, which was a Ford Model T assembly plant originally. In this short clip, he explains how his sculpture incorporates the past, present, and future, with time constantly flowing.

From the manufacturer
100% Cotton Bedsheet
The Solimo premium 144 TC bedsheet range is made from 100% cotton. This double bedsheet is made from cotton that has been combed to retain only long cotton fibers. This process makes the yarn strong and soft making the bedsheet long lasting and soft to touch. The cotton fibers drain away moisture, making the bedsheet breathable and comfortable.
This bedsheet is suitable for use all-year round because cotton as a fabric keeps you cool during summers and warm during winters.
Please Note: Image is for illustration purpose only.
Premium 144 TC Bedsheets

Typically, the finer the threads that can be woven together, the softer the fabric. The Solimo premium range of double bedsheets with 144 TC are soft, comfortable and suitable for all seasons. Each Solimo bedsheet is crafted to be light-weight and easy to wash at home.

Wesco Aircraft implements Rimilia Cash to automate their cash application and increase efficiencies.
Wesco Aircraft is the world's leading independent distributor and provider of comprehensive supply chain management services to the global aero-space industry. Founded in 1953, Wesco has been in operation more than 60+ years and has grown to serve more than 7,000+ customers with global workforce operating across 50+ locations in 17 countries.
Wesco Aircraft was challenged with time-consuming processes to apply cash and support their enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, JD Edwards. They were updating the sales ledger and applying cash manually, plus they had multiple points of reference when applying multiple payments. All of this reduced the team's efficiency and productivity.
Wesco selected Rimilia Cash to automate some of their manual processes and increase efficiency. Rimilia worked with Wesco's team during each stage of the implementation to ensure a smooth transition. Prior to go-live, Rimilia provided on-site training so the teams had experience using the new solution.
Since implementing Rimilia Cash, Wesco's cash application process has been dramatically improved. Now, Rimilia Cash has become the single point of reference when applying customer payments. Plus, Rimilia Cash has eliminated a lot of the employees' manual and time-consuming tasks, and they can now post and apply payments directly on the sales ledger. In fact, the integration was so successful and efficiency was so greatly improved that Rimilia Cash was rolled out to the corporate headquarters located in California.
With Rimilia Cash, Wesco Aircraft has achieved:
• Auto-match rate of 91%
• Fewer manual processes
• A single point of reference when applying customer payments
• Increased focus on customer relationships
"Wesco operates in a multi-currency industry and initially, we assumed the Rimilia Cash software would not meet our high expectations. However, the team at Rimilia discussed our requirements in depth and re-configured the software to create a solution that was customized for us. We now enjoy an 85-95% multi-currency match rate, which allows the Accounts Receivable team to focus on debt collection using clean, accurate and up-to-date sales ledgers."

Name a Mars crater for Mom on Mother's Day
For as little as $5, anyone can name a crater on the Red Planet through Uwingu, a Boulder-based company focused on space education and exploration.
Uwingu was founded by planetary scientist Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder. (Stern is the principal investigator of NASA's New Horizons mission that will do a fly-by of Pluto this summer.)
Crater prices start at $5 and go up to $5,000, depending on crater size, and half of the revenues go to the Uwingu Fund that helps support space research, exploration and education. And, Stern said Friday, bringing the public into the fold helps achieve several aspects of Uwingu's mission.
"Our two goals at Uwingu are to touch people personally with the excitement of space exploration, and to raise money for the Uwingu Fund for space research and education," Stern said. "Crater naming really does touch people while it raises money. Last year we raised over $250K from crater naming!"Over the last 5 decades, the International Astronomical Union has named close to 15,000 features on Mars, all which were added to Uwingu's Mars map. That leaves about 590,000 unnamed, scientifically cataloged craters, according to Uwingu's website.
So, in 2014, they launched the crater-naming project. Since then, people have let their creativity go wild, said Ellen Butler, Uwingu's chief marketing officer.
"We love seeing the way families celebrate, memorialize, and share personal milestones together — wedding engagements, picking Mars crater coordinates that correspond with their first date location, celebrating the birth of a child, honoring college graduations of grandchildren …" she said. "I even had somebody name a crater for ME! He was really pleased with my customer service support."
It's hard for Butler to pick a favorite story. Among them are a man who named a crater "I love you. Marry me, Kim" to propose to his girlfriend, and a fourth-grade teacher in Abu Dhabi who got her students excited about space by centering an entire science unit around naming a crater.
Then there's the "Uwingu superfan" in Japan who actually completely recreated Tryphena, New Zealand in the Ariadnes Colles region and then the Great Barrier Island, New Zealand, in the Southern Isidis Northern Libya Montes region … with crater naming.
That fan, who also won the largest crater on an EBay auction hosted by Uwingu, then went on to write a novel about Uwingu Mars during NaNiWriMo, the annual month-long writer challenge.
As of February 2015, the Uwingu Fund has about $128K in it, Butler estimates, about $111,500 of which has been spoken for. About $17,000 is still earmarked for the next call for grants. Among those supported by the fund are organizations and projects like Astronomers Without Borders, the Allen Telescope Array at SETI and Students for the Exploration and Development of Space at the University of Colorado, according to Uwingu's website.
"With NASA budget cutbacks it is increasingly important to find new ways to fund these scientist, projects, educators and students," Butler said.
Any craters purchased for Mother's Day between now through Sunday, May 10, will get a special Mother's Day certificate. And the 50 largest craters will receive a gift certificate equal to the amount they spent.
Uwingu's Mars map, which is available for anyone to use, will head to the Red Planet aboard the first Mars One lander.

Zapp Comics knows how to put on a sketch party! A couple of years ago I was able to get down to help my friend Corry on Free Comic Book Day! It was insane there – the lines were out the door and the crowds didn't stop until closing at 8:00pm. Of course, one of the perks about being so close to the city is that the Joe Kubert School is nearby!
Corry invites some of the students to come and show off their amazing skills to the fine people who patronize their fine establishment. I was lucky enough to nab a sketch from each of the artists there including a great guy and friend Nick Justus, Emma Kubert and Idan Knafo Kerbis.
It was exciting and I hope to go back to another sketch party soon! If only I can find time in my busy schedule!

Our hotel life in Paris is continuing with a few nice discoveries and rediscoveries that I really want to share for those away from home in Paris. First of all the hotel. Finding a good hotel in Paris with all the services and the quietness is nit an easy task.
After trying many many hotels in many different places, left bank, right bank, I think we've finally found our home in Paris: La Reserve. I wanted to stay at the Mandarin oriental again, because I liked the swimming pool and the large rooms, but A. didn't like it that much (sloppy room service and poor attitude of the security staff and bellmen at the door) so he convinced me to try La Reserve, and there has been no disappointment from start to end. The pool is nice, little used, the hotel is sizable and the staff super nice, the rooms are very quiet and well furnished. The service is very personalized and all is about smiles and freshness. The location is also great (nearby many galleries and in the midst of green) and the little things like the courtesy chauffeur are just nice surprises.
Flora Danica, is a real classic Danish restaurant in the Maison du Danemark on the Champs Élysées, that has been there forever in Paris. We used to go when we lived in Paris. It has changed many times but the quality of the food is steady and the dishes are simple and delicious. The nordic Scandinave interior is beautiful and cosy. The dishes, mainly salmon and mackerel are really nice. Ingredients come first, no fancy arrangements.
Haï Kaï is a restaurant in the 10eme by the Canal Saint Martin. A hipster area of Paris. The place interiror is very simple and the dishes really great. The discovery menu is mking some ambitious and provocative combinations, the a la carte menu is more considerate and has some beautiful dishes like the merlan au beurre or the Parisian gaspacho. A nice new address in Paris with a cheffe (woman chef!).

Remember, wicked people will destroy themselves as we keep spreading the TRUTH
I hope today, on my daughter's birthday that she is having a positive and very productive day spreading the TRUTH as I am.
To begin, my morning picketing outside of Sinai Temple was very fruitful. More photo ops from people who want to share the attached photo of my signs on line. TOGETHER we are bringing awareness to help our Society and bring forth justice. With awareness comes change. I wrote a flyer outlining the important facts which many have been asking about.
I am so grateful Chari walked by and shared her wisdom with me as she is very familiar with the corruption and abuse that goes on at many "religious" organizations and all the hacking and mind games they use to make others think the person exposing the TRUTH is crazy so they can continue their acts of abuse and corruption. They hack their emails and try to tell their contacts to stay away from them so they will be isolated. Remember, corrupt abusers do not have morals. Chari is also sharing the photo and other information on line and I am very grateful.
Honest, compassionate people WANT to help others and we feel we have a RESPONSIBILITY to do so, not to hide the truth. Those who hide the truth become part of the corruption.
Then Elizabeth came by who is doing a project on different types of abuse and domestic violence. Elizabeth is very knowledgeable about parental alienation and how it is a SERIOUS problem in our society today with divorce being so prevalent. She is also knowledgeable about narcissism and the schemes used by abusers. I was very impressed with her knowledge and also enthusiasm to understand more details. Elizabeth also took a photo and a flyer and we plan to continue our conversation. I am very interested to see her finished project which I hope to display on this page and my website so all of us can be enriched.
Several others stopped by and gave me business cards wanting me to contact them and also took a flyer. It was a great morning.
Then when I arrived home, I received very inspirational mail. My Grandfather Ben who was a wise, compassionate and wonderful person and the Judge I clerked for Judge James S. Sfekas both told me that the wicked will destroy themselves. (authors and experts have shown this too).
Well, I truly believe my ex-husband, since he refuses to be reasonable and keeps lying and denying the truth, has lost his mind. First, as the divorce judgment shows, which I posted a few days ago, financial statements and other financial information were never disclosed to establish the net worth of the community estate.You can't divide and distribute the community estate 50/50 as the law requires UNTIL the net worth is established. This is basic math and common sense too because you cannot divide something 50/50 until you know its value. He is a certified public accountant and received his MBA from Harvard and should know this.
So to take the FOCUS OFF OF THE TRUTH he is trying to BLAME ME that I am litigious since he requested a hearing before the same family law judge who signed the stipulated judgement which is fraudulent and invalid on its face.
This judge, judge Claudia Silbar has presided over many post judgment hearings and has made illegal rulings allowing assets to remain unadjudicated and expenses to remain concealed and committed other unlawful acts. Her reputation is horrible as some on line posts show and she is known to be corrupt and unfair as many comments and cases show including my own before her (09D002792-County of Orange).
Anyway, I guess my ex-husband, MARK F. HASSMAN has never heard of Due Process of Law. He has requested that this Judge rule that I cannot file any claims in ANY California court. REALLY??? He said his business partners, colleagues and others I sued are humiliated. I guess so… they all thought I would never recover from my emotional abuse and distress due to their acts of parental alienation and other abusive acts and thought they could EASILY take my 50 percent community property interest for themselves. They have a responsibility to allow me to establish the net worth of the community estate by disclosing financial information they refuse to provide. So, I REASONABLY sued them all so I can FOLLOW THE LAW and complete my divorce legally, according to the law by establishing the net worth and dividing it pursuant to the law, not in violation of the law.
REMEMBER, corrupt people are not reasonable. They just bully, harass and try to take the focus off the TRUTH and blame YOU for something that is a lie. This is what many experts and others have proven along with history.
***I can't believe my ex-husband thinks this one judge can just order me NEVER to sue to establish the net worth of the community estate and complete and finalize my divorce legally in any California court and address the harms that have resulted due to these and other acts.
Even though the facts show we are still technically married; I am so glad I do not consider him my husband. He was never like this when I married him.
***Plus, for some reason he has a restraining order against me (I am a law-abiding citizen). So, I can't contact him but he leaves ME voicemail messages. Ridiculous. I was advised not to listen to them so I don't because he should not be contacting me. Interesting, they interpret the law to suit them, not objectively because they think they are ENTITLED.
With that said, did you know that last week many banks pleaded guilty and received felony charges and a $5.7-billion fine due to their conduct which showed a "brazen display of COLLUSION."
Think this bank case is setting a precedent for my case because my ex-husband could not have "purposefully concealed" community assets (as the letter posted a few days ago states); without the COLLUSION of law firms, the judge, trust administrator, 401K defined contribution administrator, joint venture partners, executives, court-appointed therapist who wrote a false report, Sinai Temple, Saddleback Church (Saddleback Valley Community Church), Cate School (which is a non-profit school) and others.
These non-profit organizations use their "charitable agreements" to hide community assets since they do not have to disclose the source. Then when some statute of limitations has run, all those involved share the wife's 50 percent community property interest which they "colluded" to conceal and not distribute to her so they can PROFIT FROM THE DIVORCE.
As always, Truth, Love for humanity and of course God will prevail.
The liars, cheaters, abusers and corrupt individuals and organizations will destroy themselves; just watch.
As always, none of this is legal or any other advice. Just based on my knowledge and experiences.

The Air Jordan 11 Golf "Concord" Releases Next Month!
For the Swingers!
The Air Jordan 11 is about to shift from the hardwood to the fairway, with the prized "Concord" colorway set to hit the links in 2019. These, or something similar, were first spotted two years ago, with Jordan athlete Dez Bryant flexing a pair on Instagram. But with official images surfacing online today, we can finally expect these to be available to the public for the first time.
The apparent variation being the spiked soles, there are a few enhancements to make the shoe perform better on the course. Leather uppers replace the traditional ballistic nylon and the translucent-blue outsole now comes with hits of vibrant translucent-green. It's important to note that there are no actual Concord purple hits, but that really won't stop us from flexing these on the fairway.
Grab a detailed look below, and look out for the Air Jordan 11 Low Golf "Concord" to hit select stores and Nike.com on February 15th, 2019, for $200.
Be sure to check out our Release Calendar to stay up to date with Jordan release dates, add reminders directly to your calendar and find direct links for each drop!
Air Jordan 11 Low Golf "Concord"
Style Code: AQ0963-101
Release Date: February 15, 2019

PDB: Can you pitch Lethal as a Charlie Parker Solo in 25 words or less?
JMS: Sin City, Hollywood stars, the Mafia. A dramatic event. A conspiracy to hide it. In the middle of it all, Eddie Bennett, a 'problem solver'.
PDB: Which music, books, films or television shows have floated your boat recently?
Music – The last Guy Clark album, My Favourite Picture of You.
Books – Blake Bailey's Cheever: A Life (a John Cheever biography).
Television – True Detective.
PDB: Is it possible for a writer to be an objective reader?
JMS: Sure! I love reading. It's a pleasure for me. If you got a good book in your hands, you just enjoy it, and don't work on it. At least that's the way I do it.
PDB: Do you have any interest in writing for films, theatre or television?
JMS: I wrote the script for several documentaries some years ago and I would like to write for films. I have some ideas in my mind.
PDB: How much research goes into each book?
JMS: That's one of the best moments. I love to investigate every detail of the story, documenting the time, politics, cars, fashion, weapons, drinks… Everything! I think the more real the details of a story are, the more real the story will seem.
PDB: How useful or important are social media for you as a writer?
JMS: I think they are important because they provide a great opportunity to get in touch with readers and other writers. In addition, meeting new people is always interesting. Who knows what we can discover or learn thanks to these new friends.
PDB: What's on the cards for 2014?
JMS: A new novel I've just finished. This time we go from Las Vegas to Mexico, to the border. I'm also working on two new stories; an international political thriller and a noir story from my hometown, Seville.
Bio: Javier Márquez Sánchez (born in Seville, Spain in 1978) is Editor in Chief of the Spanish edition of Forbes. He has been Editor in Chief of the Spanish edition of Esquire Magazine and Deputy Director of Cambio16, and has written several novels, short stories collections and non-fiction books on film and music. Sometimes he plays music with his two bands, Rock & Books and The Last Drink.
Lethal as a Charlie Parker Solo, out now from 280 Steps, is his first novel being translated into English.

Please Bring Trials of Osiris back to Destiny 1
0 have signed. Let's get to 7,500!
Trials of Osiris was the ultimate PvP challenge in Destiny 1, bringing together guardians from all over the world to compete in teams of 3 in hopes of achieving the ultimate victory and its reward, a visit to the lighthouse on Mercury.
From the day Trials was launched, until its end just before Destiny2's release, a community was created around the game, and fans of the game awaited each week with excitement and anticipation as to what map would be played that weekend. Destiny's most hardcore and dedicated players and members of the community including streamers and content producers loved Trials and its challenges, and passionately pursued that flawless victory ever weekend, a change from the usual Crucible playlists and weekly PvE resets.
Due to the release of Destiny 2 however, Trials was removed, as the playerbase shifted over to the new game along with its supporters and fans. For what reason though, to move everyone over to the new game, to avoid a division of streamers and players between both games? Bungie, Destiny 1 and Trials of Osiris will forever be loved by your fans, and is the reason why Destiny 2 was awaited with such excitement and energy, why many people stayed with the game throughout its life from Vanilla days through Age of Triumph, please do not let this dream die out like this, there is no reason for it to,
The Destiny 1 playerbase is still there alive and well, and we would all love for Trials to return. Many of Destiny 2's players miss Destiny 1 and would love to return and play the original as well as the new game, both games deserve some love, and neglecting the original simply hurts all of us who still care for it.
By keeping both games alive, there is more momentum for furture Destiny releases and by giving back to the community, Bungie, you show us you care as I know you all continue to do, please let us have our Trials.
There is no extra content to add or manage, Trials resets on its own weekly like the rest of the activities and all of the rewards will still be there to get, a chance at flawless every week, please Bungie, it will be the best thing you ever did for us <3
Ps , some vault space for all our God-rolls and exotics would also be much appreciated, like icing on a yummy cake :)

The Dutch collective, comprising Yannick Verhoeven and Joep Schmitz, have now been spreading the word about Egyptian Electro Chaabi music (have a read of tQ editor John Doran's extensive reports on the scene here) for 24 glorious months, through monumentally banging live sets and mixtapes - their Church Of The CLF mix was one of our favourite of last year - so it's only fitting that they'd mark their paper anniversary by turning out not one but five of the latter, and we're honoured to host the final instalment - give Bring The Noise Part V: The New Wave of Egyptian Wedding Rave a spin above, with the tracklisting at the foot of the page.
Says Verhoeven by means of introduction: "We're celebrating our second anniversary with five different blogs who've been supporting us from the beginning. Next to the Quietus, also Afropop WW, OkayAfrica, Generation Bass and Noisey. This last year we've been touring ten different countries with Cairo Liberation Front and this wouldn't be possible without those who've been supporting us from the start.
"With every tape I tried to use another theme. For this one I've created for the Quietus I wanted to create a second part of the notorious Electro-Cha3bi For Avant-Garde Lovers. With only the weirdest, most psychedelic and more drug-orientated songs I could find out of Egypt. You can find my personal highlight at the end of the tape with a track by a new producer called Mr. Sheko. For some untrained-electro-cha3bi ears this track sounds a bit like Islam Chipsy, but it seems to be another guy. Weirdly enough he also took some some harsh Skrillex-sounding wobbles. Never heard something like this before. Also definitely worth checking out is the end, with an Arabic Christmas medley, for everybody who's fed up with Mariah Carey and Wham!'s 'Last Christmas'." For anyone heading to Eurosonic in Groningen, Netherlands later this month, make sure you catch the duo's set on January 15, while you can keep an eye on their movements over at their Facebook.

The next event in the 'GREAT' campaign to promote the UK's legal services internationally will be hosted by the lord chancellor in London next month, justice minister Lord Keen of Elie QC has told the Gazette. Keen, advocate general for Scotland and Ministry of Justice spokesperson in the Lords, attended last week's annual conference of the International Bar Association in Sydney, Australia, to promote UK jurisdictions in the face of mounting international competition.
Keen indicated that he is eager to work with the Law Society and law firms to make the 'Legal Services are GREAT' campaign a success.
He told the Gazette the campaign would succeed only with the 'co-operation and considerable experience of the professional bodies such as the Law Society and Bar Council', as well as strong local law societies including the City of London Law Society.
He acknowledged that, while it 'tends to inevitably be London-centric, because London is one of the pre-eminent dispute resolution centres', the campaign would also promote the regions and devolved administrations, including the dual-qualified barrister's native Scotland.
He called upon solicitors to take part: 'There is certainly an opportunity for law firms to do so, and indeed we are anxious that they do. Not only will they contribute to the success of the campaign, but I hope they will also get something out of it as well.
'We hope that in November the lord chancellor will host an event in London which will underline the Ministry of Justice's commitment.'
Keen underscored the judiciary's support of the initiative, referring to work by former lord chief justice Lord Thomas to inform UK ambassadors and high commissioners about the importance and value of international legal services, 'to which we have received a very positive response', he said.
Keen praised the role of UK commercial law firms, saying that they had been 'very successful across the globe. Wherever I have travelled, from New York, Singapore [to] Sydney, I will find English law firms, or their associates, already in place'. He called this 'an extension of what I might term "soft power". Not only [is] their success important, but it sends a message that the UK remains an outward-looking and successful country'.
He acknowledged the prospect of competing foreign jurisdictions: 'Imitation is the highest form of flattery, and we see imitation across the globe.' But he said that such ventures, as in the Netherlands, which has announced plans to allow commercial proceedings to be conducted in English, would not have a clear run. Setting up the Dutch venture would be 'challenging, as the centre of the common law is but a short distance away in London', he insisted.
Keen also addressed a showcase session at the IBA on Brexit, stressing again his belief that the UK would remain a pre-eminent legal centre. But he acknowledged that 'there will be challenges' as the UK moves away from the EU legal system. There were, he noted, issues that remain to be decided on choice of law and jurisdiction, and regarding dispute resolution. But overall he was confident, predicting that in the case of arbitration, for example, there would be 'little change after Brexit'.
With litigation, he acknowledged that there is potentially more at stake, but stressed the importance of mutual recognition over issues ranging from jurisdiction to enforcement to insolvency – a principle as important to the UK as it is to other commercial jurisdictions.
Keen also discussed the idea of a continuing role for the Court of Justice of the European Union, making it clear that, given a decision to leave the single market, a continuing jurisdiction for the CJEU was 'not feasible' after Brexit. Once Britain had left the EU, the court's interpretive role would be conducted for the benefit of the remaining EU member states alone and so 'cannot go on'.

Question Time
Elleray Hall Thursday May 27th 8pm
Pieter Morpurgo started the questioning:
Question: (for each of the panellists)
What is your favourite or secret place in Bushy and Home Parks?
Ray – Favourites are the Woodland Gardens and the Water gardens; secret place is the Brewhouse fields
Kathy – Favourite is the view from the Brewhouse and the clear water, rushes, reeds and fish in the Longford River
Pippa – recalled a favourite picnic area as a child over the Redbrick Bridge and along the Queen's River. Another favourite is a butterfly walk looking for Painted Ladies starting at Canal Plantation round to Upper Lodge.
Terry – Favourite is the Palace end of Home Park, particularly the wildlife, flora and fauna.
Why are the Woodland Gardens closed to dog walkers?
Ray – to protect the wildlife and ecology; gardens have a calm atmosphere and there is no scent of dogs. When the Water Gardens open, dogs will be allowed on a lead.
What is the policy on dog faeces?
Ray – It is an offence to let a dog foul anywhere in the park. The public need more education as it is destructive for acid grassland, so they must pick up faeces and put the bag in the dog waste bins. There are over 20 more dog waste bins as part of the restoration project which have to be carefully positioned for the dog walkers but must also be accessible by vehicles to empty them.
Pippa – Cannot understand why people use a bag and then drop it, not carrying it to the nearest bin.
Can car parking in the shade be provided for people with dogs at the new Welcome Centre?
Ray – There will be some shaded areas. There will also be seating for dog owners and their dogs outside the entrance to the Woodland gardens.
What has happened to the fish from the Diana Fountain and when will they be returned?
Ray – fish including carp, tench, bream, pike and roach were moved to the boating pond, some in the stretch of water from the car park and some to Home Park. Some sort of fish shelters will be built with plants. There is a problem with cormorants taking the small and medium fish.
The fountain basin has not been cleaned out since 1975 and once the plumbing on the inside is replaced there will be a better flow of water. Two Sluice gates are being installed to protect the water level in the Queen's River and control flow into the basin. Tenders are out for cleaning and restoration of the statue. Also pumps have been put in to ensure water supply to Hampton Court and the Long Water. There are pictures of the desilting operation on the Friends website.
What is the expected opening date for the Water Gardens and the Brewhouse?
Ray – Possible opening end June/July when the grass sward is up to standard and has had an initial cut.
Kathy – is sure that when it opens it will have been worth waiting for. She had been pleasantly surprised by the lovely sound made by the water flowing over the cascade. The alcoves are a 'work in progress' and the red brick is now calming down. Also, the Brewhouse has been very well restored.
There is a rumour that the old alcoves from either side of the cascade are buried somewhere in the park.
Ray – The story is that they sunk into the ground and disappeared somewhere in the Pheasantry Woodland gardens.
What was the original function of the Brewhouse and what of future plans?
Ray – the possibility of a micro brewery is being looked at. Problems are that there is no proper sewerage and no mains water.
How is the problem of algae being dealt with. Can a pump help control by moving water around?
Ray – Algae on the surface of the Water Gardens are removed with ropes each morning. A combination of sunlight plus heat causes rapid growth. The moving water of the river and the cascade adds oxygen, so a pump wouldn't help. Thames Water have problems in reservoirs and growth is reduced by stirring so that cold water comes to the surface.
Terry – Algae on the Long Water – some is good as fish can lay eggs and escape from predators. A combination of high levels of nutrients and sunlight cause high algal bloom on the Longford Water. He doesn't like using chemicals, so reed filters have been put in to reduce the level of Nitrates and help to control the algae.
What is the situation re amphibians in the ponds and river?
Pippa – Plenty of common frogs, toads and newts and rumour has it that there are great Crested Newts. Marsh frogs are evident, mate later and are very loud! Crayfish were also found in the Diana Fountain. Chinese Mitten crabs cause damage to the river banks
Ray – Has been told that terrapins have been seen, but not by him!
Why can't passes be used to enter home Park from Hampton Court gardens?
Terry – Additional cost to have a member of staff on the gate. Looking at installing some sort of mechanical means for season ticket holders. A 'trust' system was tried, but was abused. Meanwhile, the alternative entry is through the paddock area. Comment – Home Park is shown on the map as Hampton Court Park which is incorrect and will be corrected.
Pippa – Welcomed the names on the Bushy Park gates.
About benches generally
Pieter – In 2008, the Friends appeal monies of £1500 was spent on benches.
Ray – There will not be any memorial benches in the park. Benches will be strategically placed in the Water Gardens. More benches are needed in certain areas and feedback from the public is welcomed.
When is Clapperstile Gate to open and whose responsibility is it?
Ray – The old gate was bricked up many years ago and the NPL is paying to rebuild it at the same time as the car park. Hoped to open in the next 3 months when the car park is finished. Coleshill Gate remains open.
The sports teams' traffic will use this car park and gate and no longer use the Upper Lodge car park. General public can also use the new car park which may have to close at certain times to prevent commuters parking.
When can we expect a decision on car parking charges? Speed limit proposal?
Ray – The information is being collated and there may not be any action taken for the next 3 years. There has been a lot of feedback from the general public and local MPs.
No immediate plans to reduce the speed limit in Chestnut Avenue to 20 mph Good elevation and no bends or hills so quite different from Richmond Park.
Is there enough time for adequate regeneration after the Hampton Court Flower Show?
Terry – There is work pre-show and a comprehensive regeneration programme. The RHS has to lead by example and green issues are included as part of the show. He now has assurance that the footprint will not increase. Trend is for smaller show gardens which cause less damage. Nicholas Garbutt has been appointed as 'Tree and Wildlife Conservation Manager' and will look at ways to mitigate the effects of the show.
A Friend gave thanks to Nick for a most interesting walk in Home Park on Saturday May 23rd.
Ray and all the volunteers were praised for how the park looked on Chestnut Sunday.
Many thanks to Ray who is now in his 11th year as Park Manager.
Jane Cliff, June 2009

Updated List of Summer 2019 Lessons Providers will be posted June 27.
As a service to the membership, the board compiles a list of Glenwood staff who offer private lessons to pool members and their families.
The board does not endorse or prefer any particular individual. Staff were asked to confirm interest in being included on this web page and provide background and contact information. All are or have been lifeguard certified.
Note that each person's previous instructional experience is summarized for your information; however, we encourage you to explore this in more detail. Regarding each instructor's "preferred level to teach," the categories can be understood as follows:
- Pre-Beginner: helping swimmers become comfortable in the water, learning basic breathing and movement;
- Beginner: helping swimmers develop basic breathing and freestyle stroke technique;
- Advanced beginner: helping swimmers with breathing and stroke techniques in freestyle and backstroke;
- Intermediate and beyond: helping swimmers with stroke technique (free, back, breast and/or fly) turns, starts to improve for competition or recreation.
Suggested Questions to Ask/Issues to Raise with the Instructor:
- What ages have you worked with before?
- If you are seeking lessons for a child with special needs, an older child or adult, make sure you clarify that with the instructor — some will be more comfortable than others.
- What do you charge?
- What is your availability? Remember that college-aged instructors start leaving town for school 1-3 weeks before the pool closes for the season.
Questions? Feedback? Contact Karen Clark at email@example.com.

Inset Cabinets
Residential Technology, Inc.
Inset cabinets incorporate a face-frame which wraps around the doors and drawer fronts, that is they are flush with each other. There is a small gap, typically one-eighth of an inch, between the edges of the doors and drawer fronts and the face-frame.
Inset style cabinetry requires a much higher degree of craftsmanship and precision than the partial or full-overlay styles. It is therefore more expensive, but offers the look and quality of older cabinet and furniture styles.
The inset style is not as elaborate or expensive as the inset-bead style, which incorporates bead molding between the frace-frame and door and drawer edges.

Police in Ontario, Canada responded to complaints they received after sending out cellphone notifications for an Amber Alert on Thursday night for an 11-year-old girl who was later found dead.
Peel Regional Police sent out the alert at 11:36 p.m. Thursday, hours after launching an investigation into a possible parental abduction of 11-year-old Riya Rajkumar, Global News reported.
The girl was out with her father for her birthday, but was not returned to her mother at the scheduled time. Her mother reportedly contacted police at 7 p.m. saying the man would harm himself and the girl.
She was later found dead at her father's home in Brampton, police said.
Her father, 41-year-old Roopesh Rajkumar, was arrested north of Toronto, which Peel Regional Police attributed to "a direct result of a citizen receiving the alert and calling 9-1-1."
The late hour of the Amber Alert notification apparently spawned a backlash from citizens, who reportedly made calls and emails to the station, as well as lashed out on social media.
Those complaints did not sit well with officers, who responded on Twitter the next day.
"I can't even begin to describe how disappointing and upsetting it is to read the comments, emails and calls to our communications bureau complaining about receiving an Amber Alert late at night. I appreciate that a lot of people were sleeping but the immediate need to locate the child outweighed the momentary inconvenience that some people encountered." Peel police media relations officer Const. Akhil Mooken said in a tweet.
"Tragically this incident did not have the outcome we were all hoping for but the suspect was located as a direct result of a citizen receiving the alert and calling 9-1-1. The system works."
Bonnie Crombie, mayor of Mississauga — about 20 minutes from Brampton — weighed in, calling on the public to show compassion.
"The quick apprehension of the suspect is case in point that the Amber Alert works. As a society, we have the duty to come together and do everything we can to help locate a missing child. Have some compassion. Show some respect. What if this was your child?" Crombie said.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) last year implemented a new rule that Canadians can not opt out of National Public Alerting System, which includes Amber Alerts, CBC News reported.
"People cannot opt out of this," CRTC spokesperson Patricia Valladao said last year. "There is a high importance that people — want it or not — receive these alerts."


text: Yeah I don't necessarily cosign the strategy... But vice presidents are at times best left in back off stage. Trump kind of did this to himself, or perhaps, this is his first bone thrown out to the repubs, in which case it had to be thrown eventually. Either way its designed for a certain effect and in all probability it is not to highlight Pence. Trump may change the party for good, move it more towards the center as the dems become more and more towards neo con. These battles have to be fought carefully. Clinton has had to fight off so much it will destroy her. Good! But if i am Trump one thing I don't want to do is go into a fight for the presidency fending off the Romney's and George Wills while fighting the Clinton Campaign. He couldn't have chose the fat man from Jersey... that would have been suicide because of bridge gate and the fact that New Jersey is really corrupt... almost as much so as Florida. Taxes, cops ticketing everything, etc. Its just a hated state. That leaves Newt. What do you think of Newt? I could have lived with him as a VP candidate. Hes smart and knows his way around Washington.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Although the core Space runtime is implemented in Java, the IMDG also supports .NET and C++ out- of-the-box. This enables developers to access The Space from multiple environments and from any language with Java, C++, or .NET integrations. Developers can even run .NET and C++ code within the Space, utilizing the data grid's compute resources and co-location with the data.
Another important aspect of this capability is the interoperability between languages. One client can write an object in C++, another can read it in .NET, and another can update it in Java. The IMDG supports interoperability between all primitive types, primitive wrappers, collections (Lists, Maps) and even custom user-defined classes. This interoperability enables developers to integrate various applications or access the same application from various environments.
GigaSpaces PaaS provides features for enterprises to deploy their production applications on the cloud. Notable benefits include:
The solution reduces the investment required to migrate and set up applications on the cloud, allowing developers to use the cloud for standard Web apps as well as mission-critical enterprise apps.

Howard Stern says he 'never imagined' friend Donald Trump would run for president
The shock jock is still in awe Donald Trump became president of the United States.
"It was mind-boggling," said Howard Stern to Us Weekly Tuesday.
When the celebrity news magazine asked the 63-year-old about Trump's former appearances on his radio show, Stern responded, "[The tapes of him] are all out there… but you know, look, those interviews speak for themselves."
Stern explained, "I'm glad [the tapes] are out there. Donald always came on the show as a guest and was entertaining. He wasn't the president, it was a different kind of scene, but yet when he says is relevant even to this day and it gets into whole other discussion – sexual harassment – but at that point, I never imagined that Donald would run for president."
While Stern has been a friend of the 71-year-old for years, he has been vocal about this thoughts concerning the real estate mogul-turned-reality TV star pursuing politics.
"I personally wish that he had never run. I told him that," Stern announced on his SiriusXM radio show back in February. "Because I actually think this is something that is going to be very detrimental to his mental health too. Because he wants to be liked, he wants to be loved, he wants people to cheer for him. I don't think this is going to be a healthy experience for him."
Stern isn't the only one talking about Trump's past tapes these days.
Billy Bush, the former NBC personality, told late-show host Stephen Colbert on Monday that listening to the infamous 2005 "Access Hollywood" recording is like "a gut punch."
"If I thought there was a man detailing a sexual strategy to me, I would have contacted the FBI and not just brought it to the attention of my producers," said Bush. "Everybody had to kiss the ring of Donald because he was making the big money for NBC at the time."

1. Order it for "here" instead of "to go". Instead of getting your food in a bunch of unnecessary packaging, you can then either take the food and leave or eat it in the restaurant.
2. Use your own utensils and napkins! This is an easy swap when making your kitchen zero waste, so I definitely suggest doing the same when you eat out.
3. Put sauces on your food inside the restaurant to avoid single use packages... OR bring your own containers to fill up inside to use on the go!
4. Bring your own water bottle to avoid all the plastic cups and straws. This will also ensure you are staying healthy and not drinking all of those nasty sugary beverages.
5. Know the menu and order what comes in the least packaging. If the burgers come in plastic, maybe opt for the fish sandwich that comes in a recyclable cardboard box.
6. Order the vegetarian options!! Fast food and unsustainable meat practices go hand-in-hand, so avoid what you can by ordering the veggie options. Some of my personal choices are the vegetarian bean burritos from Taco Bell and the veggie burger at Burger King. 🤗
How do you reduce your waste when eating fast food? Comment below and don't forget to follow Life of an Earth Muffin to never miss another post!

Mission Statement
The Maranatha School Counseling Department exists to provide comprehensive programming that addresses the development of the whole student including academic, career, social/emotional, and spiritual growth. By collaborating with school personnel, families, and community resources, the school counseling program will provide every student opportunities to become well-educated, self-directed, and lifelong learners who follow Christ.
College Counseling
College counseling is an intrinsic piece to a student's experience at MCA. An average of 96% of MCA graduates attend college. Our staff desires to partner with students and families to assist them in gaining acceptance to the college or university of their choice.
Academic Counseling
It is our goal to assist students and parents in their academic journey from lower school to upper school and, ultimately, to a post-secondary decision.
Personal/Social/Emotional Counseling
Personal/social/emotional counseling brief services are available to all students, as needed. School counselors will work with families and refer to outside services if deemed necessary.
The school counseling program at Maranatha includes two licensed school counselors, Anne Mee and Lissa Flaaten, and an academic counselor, Joanna Richter. At times we host an intern finalizing their graduate school counseling program supervised by one of our licensed counselors. All counselors work with students in the following ways:
- Individual meetings to support students regarding personal needs or social/emotional concerns, academic achievement, and college/career planning. School counselors offer short-term counseling to students and collaborate with families, when necessary.
- Consultation and collaboration with parents and teachers. School counselors work with parents and teachers and may make referrals if a student needs more long-term counseling.
- Responsive services for students in crisis that may need immediate intervention and assistance.
- Small group counseling which is designed to help young people build relationships while learning to understand their feelings regarding a myriad of specialized topics relating to their lives. Small groups can focus on (but are not limited to) family changes, anger management, friendship/social skills, study skills, anxiety, etc.
- Classroom instruction which includes both upper and lower school through direct lessons, advisory content creation, and classroom assistance.
Students can be referred to the school counselor by their teacher, parent, or by request. Anne Mee primarily works with Pre-Kindergarten through grade 7 and Lissa Flaaten primary works with students in grades 8-12. Joanna Richter is the academic counselor for grades 4-12. To contact your counselor, please call or email.

Treacle made herself comfortable on the bed last night, and I tried to make myself comfortable around her. For the most part I failed.
I got up and fussed Fudge. He's on the mend, but oh-so-slowly. I scoffed brekkie, and as I scoffed I reviewed the recent logs on my Great Chart geo-series. Every time someone finds a geocache they have to write a little story. Most people write nothing of consequence and (to be honest) since I have getting on for a hundred active caches I don't read the "Found it" logs. But having had that message over the weekend I thought I'd better investigate. It seems that a few people have had issues at the half-way point of the series.
Fudge was too poorly to walk, so I took Treacle for a little outing. We drove out to Great Chart and started our walk. I thought I might as well do a complete maintenance run whilst I was at it, and I got a bit cross. Inside each geocache is a bit of paper to sign. To stop it getting wet I put that bit of paper inside a film pot which goes in the cache.
Most of the film pots had gone. Now bearing in mind that the paper inside was still there and that the caches were still there, where had the film pots gone. Stolen by other cachers for their own use? If people are that poor I'll buy them new ones to save myself the inconvenience of having to replace them.
We had a good walk through fields and woods meeting goats, horses and cows. Treacle even chased a squirrel. All was fine until we got just past point 8 where the footpath had been "sort of" blocked, but was passable. From here on in was somewhere that people had often whinged but the footpath was clearly marked. There *were* horses in the field but there always had been.
But when I got to the lane at point 10 I saw a notice from the council which was all about a statutory footpath diversion. Effectively that stuffed up my route. We then followed the route back to the car collecting the caches as we went. I've archived the lot; the walk is impassable now.
One thing which boils my piss about geocaching is that people start off by finding a magnetic jobbie stuck to a road sign and then just carry on. Very few people come to it with any experience of hiking in the countryside. Few people realise that you can't just randomly wander wherever you like. And few people realise that maps are different. Open Street maps are simply rubbish; they don't feature most of the rights of way. Most people won't use Ordnance Survey maps as they cost. And most people don't realise the difference between a closed gate and a statutory footpath closure.
If people had told me there was a statutory order some months ago…
We came home and I wasted a few minutes trying to repair a water feature. But I didn't have the right attachment so I gave up.
I was just about to pootle on-line when I thought I'd check the house phone for messages. There was a message from the police following up on my call about nutty-next-door that I made to them on Sunday. They asked if I could phone them back and quote reference blah-de-blah. So I did. Apparently my ex-neighbour is alive and well, but "Damien" (Force Number 59827) made it crystal clear that he was far too busy to do anything other than say that he was alive, and rather insinuated that what this chap does with his life is none of my business. I suggested he checked the records to find out why I was concerned; "Damien" said he was too busy.
My phone then upgraded its operating system (which was nice for it) and I then emptied the photos I'd taken over the Bank Holiday weekend and put them on-line. Bearing in mind I'd worked for a large part of two of the days I was amazed to see just how much I fitted in between leaving work on Friday and going back this afternoon.
Never a dull moment.
I drove to work via the Aylesford aquatic centre where I go the right attachment for the water feature, and then on to work….

There are various scenarios where you need to transfer your SecureAPlus license:
- When you are changing to a different PC
- After re-installing SecureAPlus on the same PC
When activated, a SecureAPlus License is tied to your SecureAPlus installation's unique SecureAPlus ID. This SecureAPlus ID is uniquely generated on a per operating system installation instance basis.
Before you can move the License to either a different PC or a reinstalled OS, you will have to disassociate the License from the current SecureAPlus ID it is associated with (either your old PC or old OS).
Upon transferring, the license expiry date will remain the same despite activating it on a new PC. This means that the license does not reset its duration when activated on another PC.
License transfers are only for SecureAPlus Pro and SecureAPlus Essentials Licenses.
Follow these instructions if you are looking to transfer your current SecureAPlus license to another PC:
1. Log in to SecureAPlus Account Portal
2. Once you have logged in and directed to the home page of SecureAPlus Account Portal, click My Devices which can be found on at the sidebar of the Account section.
3. Find the previous Device ID with the Pro License and click on the X button to deactivate it. This will allow you to disassociate the Pro License of the prior Device ID.
4. On the PC with the SecureAPlus software that you intended to transfer your SecureAPlus Pro license to, copy and paste the license on SecureAPlus Main Console (Launch SecureAPlus > Info & Licenses > License) and click Apply.
5. Once the license has been re-activated, do check your SecureAPlus Account Portal (under My Devices) to see if your new Device ID has been linked up with the SecureAPlus Pro License. If not, refer to this post for further instructions.

This year I experienced a kind of brand transliteration when I sailed on the Silver Spirit, one of the small, agile cruise ships of Monaco-based luxury cruise line Silversea (regularly named the best cruise line in the world).
When I slipped through the etched-glass doors of Le Champagne restaurant, the warm, mahogany-lined interior felt familiar, even though it was my first time on board. As I slid onto the banquette under a crisp-white-linened table, and felt the curve of the Riedel stemware and saw the gleam of gold-rimmed porcelain plates, it was apparent before I even saw a menu.
I was emotionally back in some of my favourite restaurants – the shuttered Lumière in Vancouver or Per Se in New York. Turns out the only Wine Restaurants by Relais & Châteaux at sea are on board Silversea's ships, forming an interesting case study of what happens when one very terroir-based brand meets a brand that rules the water.
Making a big world small
Hospitality brands are often defined by borders, however invisible those borders might be. Airline brands, aside from ground-side lounges, don't dabble much in bricks-and- mortar hospitality.
Hotel brands are terrestrial but they mostly strive to replicate consistent brand values around the globe. Restaurants, in this era of local eating, rely on a distinct sense of place to define their style and cuisine. Nimble brands like Virgin that industry-hop from retail to airlines to hotels are notable precisely for crossing those borders.
R&C includes 475 of the finest hotels and restaurants in 55 countries. All of the properties are independent, each of them defined by its unique local setting, character and hospitality.
Silversea, on the other hand, makes a big world seem small with ships so well appointed you barely feel the need to go ashore. So how have these brands fared since partnering at sea a decade ago?
Regional to the voyage route
In many aspects, it's a lovely match. Several Culinary Arts Voyages featuring R&C Grand Chefs sail every year, providing cooking demos, market trips ashore, and food and wine pairing instruction for Silversea guests.
Global wine regions and cuisine are showcased in six-course R&C menus in the ship's Le Champagne restaurants, of a quality and ambition that outrank any other cruise offering.
It's very likely that devoted R&C followers who trace a route de bonheur through its establishments around the world are the very same affluent globetrotters who choose to sail with Silversea.
Yet the challenges are formidable: Local ingredients define the cuisine of Jonathan Cartwright, the Sheffield, UK-born chef at the White Barn Inn in Kennebunkport, Maine, one of five chefs who sailed on a 12-day New World cuisine-themed World of Relais & Châteaux cruise from Nice, France to Southampton, England.
At his own restaurant Cartwright proudly sources New England cheeses and fresh-caught lobster, Maine shrimp and fish in season, adhering religiously to the East Coast rule: "Oysters from this coast are best when there is no 'R' in the month."
At sea, he instead follows Silversea's philosophy of world cuisine, embracing diverse ingredients and styles.
"We try to create menus that we believe are regional to the voyage route," he says. "Produce is sourced as fresh and as close to major ports of call as possible. On certain ports of call specialty items are purchased so cuisine can be created regionally."
He adds that Silversea's impeccable standard of food storage, hygiene and equipment are key to achieving high culinary standards.
Any bottle anywhere in the world
If his home dining room is full, Cartwright might serve leisurely multi-course dinners to 120 guests a night. On the Silver Shadow there could be three times that many in total, dining at various restaurants in a narrow window of time every evening.
And because guests are on board longer – anything from a 10-day sailing to a 115-day world cruise – menus must constantly change to surprise and delight them.
"A land-based restaurant features a menu based on the seasons and might change its menus every three months. We turn around all the menu cycles on a daily basis," says Rudy Scholdis, Silversea's culinary director.
Scholdis scoffs at the old adage that a good claret has to sail around the world once to be a great wine. "To be perfectly honest, I do not really agree with this logic. Wines age differently at high altitude, but at sea as well."
He says Silversea's surprisingly deep and diverse wine list is carefully managed to avoid too much on-board exposure to the elements that could affect its flavour. Through a shore-side cellar and high-tech logistics, they can get any bottle anywhere in the world in a day.
"This quick delivery method prevents us from having a great bottle of Château Pétrus visit the entire globe before it finally gets to be enjoyed by one of our guests."
But the biggest challenge is consistent bread and pastries, says the Belgian-born Scholdis, who describes a fresh, crisp baguette as "a sponge" after a few minutes of sailing in hot, humid Southeast Asia or the Amazon. And Cartwright brings up one more personal obstacle for R&C chefs going aboard: "In strong seas, to be in the galley and not feel seasick!"
Lifting both brands' boats
Based on the Transumer's R&C culinary experience on Silversea, the successful land-sea partnership is a rising tide that lifts both brands' boats.
R&C's Grand Chefs bring a local, familiar style of hospitality with deep roots in terroir to the mobility brand of Silversea, enhancing the cruise company's commitment to providing authentic regional experiences – not just generic luxe – to its guests.
The additional X-factor, as Chef Cartwright points out, is the deliciously exclusive transumer experience that can make even ordinary airline food taste great at 30,000 feet with a bird's-eye view of the Atlantic out your window.
"The ports of call, and regions of the world that they sail to, alongside the unique views into the horizon from each of the dining rooms, are what make [Silversea ships] an ideal venue."

Official Summary
On a search for the rare element Splodium-235, ZIM discovers that deep beneath his own base lies another alien base. And inside it is another alien. And this alien claims he took over the Earth years ago. Is he insane? More importantly, can ZIM steal his supply of Splodium-235 and get out? Or will he keep ZIM in his base forever because… well… he's just so lonely down there? [1]

Characters in Issue #27 (In Order of Appearance)
SPOILER WARNING OF DOOM: This section or article may contain spoilers!
Zim, GIR, and Minimoose are watching a documentary on the Stuff Network about beavers attacking people. This reminds Zim about an army of ten thousand splodie-beavers he ordered GIR to create but forgot about. However, he checks in on them and finds that most of them are gone, GIR having sent them to his "space pals" on other planets.
Wanting to make more beavers but finding that he's all out of the key element Splodium-238, Zim searches for more and finds that there's a large amount of it buried deep underneath his base. Using his drill pants, Zim and GIR dig down to where the Splodium is detected, and discover a base belonging to the Dooxisi, whom Zim describes as being the most boring race in the galaxy.
While Zim is trying to figure out how to break into what he assumes is an abandoned base, GIR simply knocks on the door. The two are thus greeted by the owner of the base, Xooxi, and a pair of his giant mole servants. He reveals that he took over Earth centuries ago, then clarifies to a confused Zim that he just took over the underground of the planet, which he considers to be the good part.Zim is doubtful of this, but doesn't question it and instead asks for Xooxi's Splodium. Xooxi agrees to hand it over, as he doesn't use it anymore, but then asks if Zim wants to hear the story of his conquest. Zim agrees on instinct, then immediately regrets it as he remembers how boring the Dooxisi are. Zim tries to get GIR to scan for the Splodium when Xooxi steps out of the room, only for GIR to get distracted when Xooxi returns with cookies. He then begins going over pictures taken during his "conquest", greatly boring Zim.
Desperate, Zim texts GIR a message telling him to call Zim, which Zim will pretend is an important call he has to take in another room, only for GIR's loud yelling over the call to alert Xooxi to what they're doing.Zim is able to pass it off as a joke rather than trying to get away, but this leads to Xooxi fetching a board game wherein players merely move pieces around an empty circle indefinitely.
Eventually, Zim snaps and calls out the game as boring, which by the rules of the game means he wins. When Xooxi suggests playing again, Zim discreetly sends a message to Minimoose, telling him to come down with weapons and create a distraction.
When he knocks on the door of the base, Zim acts as though it's an attack and runs off. Running through the halls, Zim finally finds the Splodium, only to discover that Xooxi's used it all to create splodie-moles. Xooxi then shows up and reveals that Minimoose's "distraction" was just showing off his weapons.
Dragged back to Xooxi's living room, Zim is forced to listen to another boring story, which drags on and on (to the point that the artist breaks the fourth wall to say he's giving up on drawing the issue due to boredom) until Zim finally snaps and tells Xooxi to shut up, making it clear he finds him boring and was only interested in him for the Splodium. Insulted, Xooxi declares war on Zim with his splodie-moles, with Zim returning the favor with his splodie-beavers.A TV documentary similar to the one at the start of the issue then details how "the dumbest battle in galactic history" carried on, ending with one of the beavers remembering it could explode, destroying them all including Zim and Xooxi.
The issue then ends with Dib and Gaz at the smoking crater of Zim's base. Gaz, annoyed, questions how the TV show knew about Zim and Xooxi's battle and managed to make a documentary about it so soon, while Dib dramatically says he doesn't know.
End of Spoilers: There are no further spoilers for this section or article. You can breathe now.
Facts of Doom
- In the episode "Zim Eats Waffles" Dib was worried that Zim could go after their beaver technology, in this issue it apparently came true.
- The fact that Zim refers to the Dooxisi solely in the past tense would suggest they're extinct. If so, this means Xooxi is the last of his kind.
- This story features the second time a comic issue has broken the fourth wall through a means other than Recap Kid's opening narrations. The first was Issue 23, when the Roboparents outright told Dib he wasn't in that issue.
- It's revealed in this Issue that the Irkens are not the only species who have Invaders sent to other planets, since the Dooxisi apparently also conquer worlds or at the very least underground worlds.
- This is the second issue to end with Dib arriving at Zim's recently-exploded base. The first was Issue 17, in the backup story.
- This is the first non-oneshot issue since Issue 12 to not have art by Warren Wucinich. The art style is noticeably different from the other non-oneshot issues.

Reception and Year 1 'Little Bears and Big Bears!'
Term 1, 2018 – 19
Wow!!! We can't believe we have finished a term already; what a great term it has been. Our topic this term was 'Marvellous Me' and we have spent lots of time finding things out about ourselves and our friends.
In our science lessons we learnt all about our senses and how we use them for different things as well as looking at the differences between Summer and Autumn. The children really enjoyed being outside and looking for the things that told them the season was changing such as the leaves changing colour and falling to the ground.
We have spent time looking at what makes us special and unique and how we should embrace these things. We have shared stories about our families and experiences, identifying how every family is different and has different traditions and routines.
The Little Bears have settled so well into school, making new friends and trying new things. Their confidence has soared over the last few weeks and it's been brilliant to see them settle so quickly. The Big Bears have quickly become accustomed to being a year one and have shown us a fantastic 'can do' attitude since being back.
Well done to all the bears; have a fantastic half term break and we can't wait to start our new topic: Space and Earth!!

Senators to Discuss Management of Missouri River
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - Senators from states along the Missouri River will be gathering to discuss the management of the flooded waterway.
The meeting was planned for Wednesday afternoon in Washington.
Officials in upstream and downstream states on the Missouri are sometimes at odds on how its flow should be managed.
Republican Sen. Roy Blunt, of Missouri, says he's hoping for a joint effort for better flood control. Blunt and fellow Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, teamed up with North Dakota Sens. John Hoeven and Kent Conrad to create the Missouri River Working Group.
McCaskill says it will be helpful for senators to get the same information at the same time and to hear one another's questions. She says she hopes lawmakers can develop a logical plan for the entire Missouri River system
