The National Oceanography Centre's Marine Autonomous and Robotic Systems (MARS) Innovation Centre reached its completion last week. The £3 million center, which was part funded through the Government's 'Eight Great Technologies' initiative, will see marine businesses working alongside the NOC's own autonomy and robotics team, sharing knowledge and the NOC's extensive marine testing facilities.
Kevin Forshaw, Associate Director, Innovation and Enterprise at the NOC commented, "We believe that truly great innovation happens when great minds meet and ideas can be brought to life. The MARS Innovation Centre is the place for that to happen. We recently saw two fantastic new autonomous vehicles built out of our collaboration with businesses, and we're at the start of several exciting new projects that look set to repeat this success."
With the paint only just dry, the centre already has numerous businesses lined up to occupy it, with Camberley-based Planet Ocean Ltd, the first to agree to take space in the centre. Managing Director, Terry Sloane, commented. "Following a successful joint funding bid with the NOC to Innovate UK, we are about to start a project to launch and recover multiple underwater vehicles from an unmanned surface vehicle. Having developers based at the MARS Innovation Centre working alongside the NOC's team and with direct access to testing facilities makes perfect sense."
The centre is expected to be a catalyst for job creation. Planet Ocean Ltd has current vacancies for electronics and software designers and the NOC is looking for a centre manager.
Kevin Forshaw added, "This really is just the beginning. We have already seen the effect working with the NOC can have on small marine technology businesses, so we're confident we have an offering that works. The centre provides the Solent region a true hub for marine technology development and we believe that it will attract business from all over the world, bringing jobs and a new growth industry to the region."

OMV inks deal to evaluate several fields offshore Abu Dhabi
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), OMV, and Occidental Petroleum from the US have signed a contract over several undeveloped oil and gas fields in North-West Offshore Abu Dhabi including the Ghasha and Hail areas.
According to the Austrian company, an agreement was reached for conducting a four-year seismic, drilling and engineering work program for exploration, appraisal and potential field developments.
OMV and Occidental will also contribute with seconded personnel and technical expertise for the evaluation activities, OMV said.
The Austrian company also added that the cooperation aims to firm up the volume potential of the undeveloped North-West Offshore fields, to form the basis for the future development of the North-West Offshore area.
With this project, OMV noted the company was intensifying its strategic partnership with ADNOC alongside its existing participation in the appraisal of the sour gas Shuwaihat field and its East Abu Dhabi exploration activities.
OMV CEO, Rainer Seele, said: "We are pleased to expand our cooperation with ADNOC, together with Occidental, through the appraisal of a number of undeveloped fields which are of strategic importance to ADNOC. This cooperation will further strengthen our already excellent partnership with ADNOC."

The typical injured accident victim is often confused about how their personal negligence is applied when they are being awarded financial damages following a car accident injury. The courts have long understood that auto accidents are not always the fault of one driver, which was generally how personal contribution to an injury was once applied in common law tort cases. Even an individual with a 1% contribution to causing an accident could not file an injury claim. That is now no longer the case, as pure comparative negligence is the law when damages are being determined. Even though this is a better method of determining financial damage awards, it is still by no means a scientific process. The level of personal contribution can still be contentious among all litigants when insurance adjusters and personal legal counsels are negotiating a claim.
Official Investigation
Each accident will normally be investigated by authorities and an official accident report is released by the investigating police department. An accident reconstruction specialist will evaluate all the material evidence concerning a mishap and detail the information on the report. This can provide an initial idea of who may be largely at fault, but there may still be revaluation by the insurance providers and legal representatives. All auto accident attorneys understand that insurance company adjusters try to control this determination from the very beginning because an inflated comparative negligence percentage on the part of an opposing injured driver can result in a smaller claim pay out. Inspecting the official accident report is the beginning of determining claim value.
How Comparative Negligence is Applied
Each driver in an auto accident is assessed a comparative negligence percentage that is ultimately used to discount their total financial damage award availability. According to pure comparative negligence law, even an injured driver who was 99% at fault for the wreck can still receive 1% of financial award totals. The accident injury negotiation generally centers around arriving at the most accurate percentage for each driver. When there are multiple negligent drivers, they are only liable to the extent of their comparative negligence percentage. The insurance companies focus on comparative negligence primarily for this reason, as the insurance company adjuster priority is only to the company and their client. The lower their client's comparative negligence percentage, the lower the total settlement payout. This can be very important when attorneys are calculating non-economic damages for pain-and-suffering.
Going to Trial
The legal professionals at MGInjuryLawyers know that comparative negligence is usually the reason a case goes to trial, especially when the insurance provider thinks they can win a claim denying liability. A finding of gross negligence can also impact the final award. When a case goes to trial, the final determination of comparative negligence percentages is then assigned by the jury after evaluating all of the material case facts presented to them. Juries can also award punitive damages when insurance companies or their clients have exhibited bad faith in negotiating the claim or the driver was found guilty of gross negligence.
Never attempt handling an auto accident claim personally. Insurance company adjusters are trained professionals. Always get an experienced accident attorney who understands what to expect from the defense and knows how to craft a claim for maximum financial recovery.

The only solution is to send in the world's best adventurer-plumber : Mar Jelpi!
Play as Jelpi and his siblings as he goes down into the sewers to clear out all the creatures living in the slimy darkness of the sewer pipes!
This one is obviously based on an old classic.
Before the NES, Nintendo games were ported to every platform you can imagine, both officially and unofficially. (This was the Mario of my youth) So I figured I'd have a go at bringing my interpretation of this old favorite to Pico-8.
Before the game starts, In the cart menu there's an option to switch it to Co-Op mode. In Co-op mode, all the players pull from the same pool of lives and contribute to the same high-score. That might be more fun if one player isn't as skilled as the others and keeps being left behind.

Pop the wrong bubbles and you lose health.
Green bubbles are wildcards and will always fill in a letter.
Red bubbles are hearts and will increase your health.
|Controls :
This is a quick little idea I've had for a while. I think it worked out pretty good, so I'm posting it, even though it's not very elaborate.
Strategy-wise, I recommend going for vowels first, but don't kill yourself trying to get a particular letter, it'll come around again.
Please let me know about any typos or spelling errors in the word list!
Old Versions :
Changelog :
- Minor tweak to difficulty curve (helpful bubbles more likely on short words.)
- Added 11 new categories.
- Minor removal of unused code, and added a reminder for keyboard users not familiar with Pico-8
Screenshots :
|I love seeing work-in-progress screenshots.
The great thing about keeping these screenshots is that after the game is finished, you can tell in retrospect which screenshots were significant and interesting.
Pico-8 encourages screenshotting, with its built-in screenshot and gif capability. And the file size is minimal. ... So I figure a lot of folk probably have cool early screenshots of games that later become great games.
So let's see 'em!
I notice the Pico-8 font has some semi-graphical characters, but not quiite enough to make a real retro text-mode UI out of.
I'd love to see some of the old DOS box-drawing characters added to the pico font if there's space for a few more glyphs.
|You are Pat Blastrock, down on your luck space hero. After a particularly ill-fated adventure, you stumble into Space Tavern Station with only 500 credits to your name and a busted up escape pod. (It was a very ill-fated adventure.)
Luckily, if there's one thing Space Tavern Station has an endless supply of, besides surprisingly vile synth-ale, it's suckers. You're going take the only option you have left and gamble your way back to fame and fortune.
The poker played here at Space Tavern Station is not a fancy tournament. Here, they play tavern-style. You can leave the table at any time, but you can't go "all in". If you get raised out, you have to fold, so make sure you bring enough cash to play a grownup's game.
Some of your opponents might be desperate enough to bet the keys to their ship. Don't feel any remorse in taking that bet. It's not your problem how they're going to get home.
If you're light on cash, you can go to your inventory and sell something.
|Controls :
Arrow keys and (O) to navigate menus.
(X) to go back to the main menu. (Leaving the poker table.)
Pause Menu :
Old Version:
The mobile player on the forum is pretty nice, but it's missing one important feature : It doesn't disable the long-press context menu.
If you hold the d-pad or a button down (as you do) it pops up a context menu, making the games frustrating.
Until this is fixed, I recommend using this bookmarklet to fix it.
I certainly don't mean to complain about free games, but maybe a gentle reminder that Pico-8 games are not just played on desktop.
Using the player 2 controls as "extra buttons" makes it very difficult to play on mobile or on PocketCHIP, or even just with controllers. The problem is compounded when you refer to the buttons by however they're bound on your system instead of their 'official' pico-8 names.
Again, I know these are just hobby games, and I haven't paid a dime for them, so I have absolutely no right to complain, but I hope people realize that they're cutting out some potential players when they tell people to press "D" or "Left Shift" or something like that
I decided that the first game I should make for this system would be an homage to the earliest game I have strong memories of playing : "Moon Mine". Published in 1983, "Moon Mine" was available only on the TI-99/4a, Which means that nobody has ever heard of it. I had it though, and it was a blast. For years this was my favorite game.
So here's my remake. Made from memory and by closely examining the old game manual I found in the basement.
The original classic was made by Rob F Hendren and John Phillips and I've always felt it didn't get enough nostalgia love.
The instructions are in the system menu. Basically use the arrow keys to move the lasers. O to fire. X to beam down a crew-member to retrieve minerals and water samples.

No matter where you are from, everyone has their opinion on what makes great BBQ. Whether it's Texas-style brisket, Carolina style pulled pork, or Memphis and Kansas City style ribs, they all have one thing in common. BBQ is one of the greatest foods that Americans are passionate about. At The Flying Pig BBQ, we believe great BBQ starts with great meat, great rubs and spices, and smoking meat over real organically certified hardwood fires. From there the sauces, sides, and extras can be added but the basics have to come first and can't be substituted or shortcuts taken.
Come see us for some of the best BBQ in Oklahoma City and Central Oklahoma, or even better, let us cater your special event. We can help with something as small as take-out or full-service catering. If we can't provide it, we will help you find the resources so you don't have to.
We strive to provide excellent products, service, and value to every customer.

It's a harrowing, yet transformational tale. A man goes from chronic pain so acute that a 1-to-10 scale can't approximate it — "When I was at my worst, all I know is that my pain was on my mind 24/7." — to a much more manageable, yet still painful, 4 on that scale.
"It all amounted to this: Carl White was in pain. All the time. And nothing helped — not the multiple surgeries, nor the self-medication, not the wife and daughter who supported him and relied on him," writes Meghana Keshavan in STAT News.
[Read advice on how to face chronic pain as a family.]
White was one of 50 million affected by chronic pain, Keshavan writes, citing American Pain Foundation statistics, and arthritis patients represent a large group of chronic pain sufferers. A Washington Post article cites an estimate of twice the APF's from the Institute of Medicine. "Chronic pain affects more people than cancer, diabetes, heart attack and stroke combined," wrote Rachel Noble Benner, a mental health counselor, in 2015 in the Post.
"Pain sufferers often are misdiagnosed, misunderstood and miserable," she adds. "Their friends and family can become worn out from listening to complaints. Their identities may be significantly altered because they cannot engage in activities they once enjoyed. Doctors get frustrated by the inability to provide a cure."
That same frustration surfaces in White's story. He had run out of medical options, Keshavan writes. "No one would operate on him, and the pills were making him feel worse, not better." And then the Mayo Clinic referred him to its pain management clinic.
White went into the first meeting with a "great deal of skepticism," expecting "New Age-y" nonsense. Instead, he found practical advice, ranging from how to lift heavy objects with his legs, rather than his back, and how to process childhood traumas.
[Read about "surrendering" to pain, or more poetically, "swallowing your demon."]
But there's a catch to pain management clinics, Keshavan adds. "It can take weeks and cost tens of thousands of dollars — and thus remains out of reach for most patients with chronic pain," she reports.
The article quotes Bob Twillman, executive director of the Lenexa, Kan.-based Academy of Integrative Pain Management. "We've been banging our heads on the wall, and banging our fists on the door, trying to get insurers to pay for this," he said. "For the most part, they will not."
But the clinic appears to have changed White's life and helped him understand the variety of factors — both physical and psychological — that cause and shape pain.
"These days, White's baseline pain stays at a 4 — meaning, it's always there, but it's manageable," writes Keshavan. "On the bad days, he considers small things, like getting out of bed in the morning, to be victories. 'Instead of lying in bed, I gotta get my butt out of bed — otherwise it becomes a tomb, and the 'stinkin' thinkin' comes back,' White said."
[Learn about chronic pain and sleep.]
From an insurance perspective, the future looks bleak for patients but there appears to be hope, Keshavan reports. "Insurance coverage is still a battle: Many plans will pay for medical treatments such as surgeries, pills, and steroid injections that can run $2,000 apiece. They're not as keen to cover therapy, massage, and meditation," she writes. "Slowly though, that's changing, in large part because of the opioid crisis."
She concludes by quoting psychologist Jeannie Sperry, also of the Mayo Clinic.
"We need a cultural shift," Dr. Sperry said. "There's an implication that there's a pill for everything — and that's not accurate. It's very dangerous."
But many patients who have come to rely on drugs to treat their chronic pain say that the crackdowns are hurting them. "(Chronic pain patients) are being singled out on a daily basis for something that other people have abused," one patient told the Chicago Tribune. "Those of us who have legitimate conditions, why are we being treated differently?"
The Tribune adds:
Americans' use of opioid painkillers has exploded since the mid-1990s, driven by changing philosophies on pain treatment, drug company marketing campaigns and unscrupulous "pill mill" operators. The result, many experts say, has been a surge in addiction, overdoses and death.
Now, a reversal is underway. Opioid prescriptions have dropped sharply since 2012 as doctors have grown more conservative and the federal government has cracked down on what it deems "problematic prescribing." But some chronic pain patients say the turnabout has gone too far.
They describe unwarranted dosage cuts from doctors and unprovoked suspicion from neighborhood pharmacists. And even those who have good relationships with their health care providers say they feel more and more that society views them as junkies, not patients.
The stigmatization of patients is something Rick Phillips knows all too well. One of the tips he offered to fellow chronic pain-sufferers last year was, "At the first mention of an attack on people with chronic pain, volunteer that you have chronic pain. To know us is to love us and stop ridiculing us."

Cory Hill and Ellis Jenkins named Wales co-captains for summer internationals
Last Updated: 08/05/18 1:04pm
Dragons lock Cory Hill and Cardiff Blues flanker Ellis Jenkins have been named as co-captains for Wales' tour of Argentina and upcoming Test match against South Africa in Washington DC.
Regular captain Alun Wyn Jones is rested as are Taulupe Faletau, Leigh Halfpenny, Justin Tipuric, Dan Biggar and Liam Williams who also toured New Zealand with the Lions last summer.
Wing George North and back-row forward Ross Moriarty are the only Wales internationals who made the Lions trip and have also been named in this 31-man squad.
Wales head coach Warren Gatland has named one uncapped player in the shape of Cardiff Blues scrum-half Tomos Williams.
Wales face the Springboks on June 2, then travel to South America for appointments with the Pumas on June 9 and 16.
It is an important staging post on the way to Wales' 2019 World Cup campaign in Japan, as Gatland looks to further develop his squad depth.
Experienced Bath lock Luke Charteris has gained a recall, while it is a major opportunity for Jenkins, who is considered by many as a future Wales skipper.
Gatland said: "This summer is a great opportunity for this squad to build on their experience, get Test match game-time under their belt and face Rugby Championship opposition.
"We have picked a squad of 31 to try and give players as much game time as possible.
"It shows the depth we have built in recent years that we have just one uncapped player in the squad in Tomos, but he has been in a number of squads, so knows the environment well.
"We have picked Cory and Ellis as co-captains. They are both leaders and have experience captaining at regional level, so this is an opportunity for them to build on that."
Wales squad:
Forwards: R Evans, W Jones, N Smith, E Dee, R Elias, T Francis, S Lee, D Lewis, A Beard, Bradley Davies, Seb Davies, L Charteris, C Hill (co-captain), J Davies, E Jenkins (co-captain), R Moriarty, J Navidi, A Shingler
Backs: Aled Davies, Gareth Davies, T Williams, G Anscombe, R Patchell, H Parkes, O Watkin, S Williams, J Adams, H Amos, S Evans, G North, T Prydie

It was in the third week of February 1495, either the 10th or the 16th that William Stanley was executed for siding with pretender Perkin Warbeck.
Here's a statement to stimulate your 'little grey cells' this morning.
"William Stanley served the House of York - as he conceived it to be - all his life. That he may have been wrong in his conception of that House in 1485, and in 1493-95, should not change our awareness of that. The judgment of so many against William, that he was at one with Thomas in treachery, turncoating, and betrayal, is mistaken. He may not be owed much honor, but he does not deserve dishonor."
Do you agree or disagree?

The sports coordinator, staff and dedicated students help in promoting the benefits gained from regular participation in sport and physical activity within the school. Students at Dysart SHS are offered a range of sporting opportunities throughout the school year. Students can be involved in a variety of interschool sports, trials for Central Highlands teams, trials for Capricornia District teams or engage in lunchtime competitions available at school. By being involved in sporting activities they are benefitting from learning how to work with others, commitment to an activity and developing healthy lifestyle habits to take with them into the future.
Dysart SHS aims to cater for all students through a variety of sporting options throughout the year. We will continue to offer students sporting opportunities via quality choices of physical activities and sports provided by staff and community members with experience and knowledge.
Annually the school holds events such as the athletics carnival, swimming carnival and cross country. Results from school sporting activities will be posted in the school newsletter on a regular basis and age champions will be announced on assemblies.

Love Everywhere : Seven's Drypers TVC
Anie and Seven's TV ad for Drypers diapers is out.
Video is embedded below, click on play to view. You can also catch it on TV channels, which and at what time exactly, we just don't know. It first aired an hour ago during American Idol on ETC Channel 9 on free TV. I heard it also airs often on Cinema One.
A few days ago, Drypers sent a jumbo pack for Seven.
Thank you, Drypers! A mom-and-baby collaboration is just so cool.
You may visit Drypers Philippines' site or visit their Facebook page. They currently have an ongoing contest that's easy to join. You might want to try your luck.
To God be the glory. Thanks for viewing. =)
The Perks of Being A Dad
Mini-me Seven is now eight months old. There hasn't been a day since he came to our lives that we didn't enjoy. All the hardship and sacrifices withstanding, nothing beats the happiness of having a child.
Yes, even on occasions that he's sick or in discomfort. Yes, even when you don't get enough sleep because he's up and can't stop crying. Yup, even if having a kid costs an awful lot. And even though you can't go out anymore to enjoy the things you used to like : seeing movies in the cinema, spending hours in the mall, going out with your friends, dining out unplanned, photography trips, playing badminton and other sports, among others.
Bringing up a kid entails a lot of sacrifices, and I'm not saying this like we've been there, done that. We've only just started, and we know we still have a long way to go. We can't know for sure what the future brings.
What I do know are things I enjoy in being a dad. Here are some, off the top of my head :
1.) Stress-reliever. Having a cute kid who always smiles relieves any kind of stress. I used to hear the phrase "nakakatanggal ng pagod" a lot, pertaining to babies. I agree with it somehow. You'll still feel exhausted sometimes, but you manage to suck it up and smile upon looking at your child. The phrase is true, but the fatigue doesn't go away.
2.) Constant and instant supply of joy. Bring Seven to a room, any room, and he would light it up. He perks up people, especially us his parents. Morning, noon, and nighttime, we get a smile on our face just by seeing him being him. Even his "wowa" (grandma) Lorna asks to see him when she's sick. Seven is her best medicine.
3.) Prayer reminder. Most times when we just stare at Seven and be so unbelievably happy that a good-looking, healthy kid was given to us, we can't help but go in instant thanksgiving mode through a prayer. Lord, thank you for this boy. We don't forget.
4.) Cuddly bear. We love having him sleep beside us! It's like having a warm, cute and cuddly stuffed toy. And we can't help but be amazed at his sleeping face and say "ang pogi naman!"
5.) Morning alarm clock. I don't use my cellphone's alarm clock feature anymore. I have an alarm right next to me. I don't need to remember to set it because he never fails. Each morning he wakes me up (curiously, only me and not his mother) by tapping me and babbling to my ear until I'm awakened. Sometimes when that's not enough, he kicks me. Sweet, I know. But it's all okay, because the first thing I see when I open my eyes is his smile. The only problem is, his wake-me-up time is inconsistent. Sometimes it's at 7AM, sometimes at 6AM, and sometimes as early as 4:30. And he has no snooze button.
6.) Source of pride. We're all proud of our kids. We're no exception. It's hard not to be proud of Seven. It's impossible. So please pardon my swagger.
7.) Told-you-so pass. When my wife and I still didn't have a child, we got a lot of curious and sometimes intrusive questions about when are we going to have a baby. Are we ever going to have a baby? You see, when we got married, Anie and I agreed to not have a child for the first year (so we could enjoy it as a couple), and start trying to conceive a baby on our second year. Some people just didn't understand that, or didn't believe that. They got restless and started to ask questions and even had some funny insinuations. It got to a point when we just got tired of explaining our plan of a baby-less first year (they didn't believe us, anyway) and just kept telling them, "malapit na". Seven is proof that good things come to those who wait. And it's okay to have a plan. I told you so, peeps. Chill.
8.) Pressure and motivation. Seven is a lucky boy (don't we always say that, that today's generation is lucky?). Even luckier than me. I always wonder if I can provide him the same comfort and things that my parents were able to give us. Sometimes I get anxious if I can. But it's a welcome pressure and motivation on our part as parents. God-willing, we can raise him with all the necessities in life. A few luxuries wouldn't hurt.
Sharing with you most recent photos of Seven...
A lot of sacrifices, sure. But it doesn't compare to the joys of being a parent. I used to think it was overrated, but I've come to realize that it's all true. To my couple friends who are planning to finally have a child (or are hesitant in doing so), I kid you not : it's the most wonderful feeling in the world.
Pop Jeremy
Father to Seven. Prefers to be called "Pop" because Daddy is too sosyal, Papa can mean boyfriend / boy-toy or a ketchup, Tatay is too un-sosyal, and Popsie is just three letters too much. I don't like the cola because it's too sweet, but I esteem coach Gregg Popovich because he gets the job done. So Pop it is.

The vibe at Woodsedge Retreat Cabin
Places to see near Woodsedge Retreat
If you stayed here and have some insider info for us, let us know!
Wake up to the sounds of nature on this serene, private property spanning 50 acres in the gorgeous Finger Lakes region of New York.
Woodsedge Retreat offers seclusion yet it is only a minute from the hamlet of Honeoye and 30 miles from the city of Rochester, NY. Sandy Bottom Park/Beach and Nature Trail is just down the road and offers fishing and swimming on the shores of Honeoye Lake.
You'll have a hard time deciding whether to pitch your tent on the rolling fields or sleep in the rustic cabin - called the Love Shack - tucked into a corner near the pond. We chose the cute cabin and dreamt of our own future tiny house. Although it was only the two of us, this would be a great spot for large group camping.
We spent most of our time wandering the property, and sitting around and cooking over the campfire (there is also a propane grill available for use). The birch pergola also caught our attention as we imagined a celebrating an event in this peaceful setting. It's an added bonus that the helpful and friendly host, Kip, is an officiant!
Go back to basics, take delight in the lack of electricity and the use of an outhouse (porta-potty), and just get away from it all.
The Woodsedge Retreat is a couples dream. If you are looking for a getaway in the wilderness this is the place to be! My boyfriend and I came here to spend our anniversary and we did not want to leave! First of all its private property with a gate it really makes you feel like home.. Now we thought that there would be other people camping on the land,, No me and my man had a whole 50 acres to ourselves and boy did we take advantage.. The Love Shack is hidden in a nice bed of trees, in a hidden private area by a pond, with a view of beautiful fields of scenery... There is no electricity , but that didnt bother us we weren't there for that ( we also brought portable chargers in case.) There is also a water spigot which was convenient cause we were able to fill up our bucket for dishes as well as our 5 gallon shower! We hung it from a tree and shared 2 very wonderful showers out in the wilderness with no one in sight! We had a blast and this place was beautiful. It exceeded our expectations.. Kip our host was a very friendly and cool guy. We chatted with him and he made sure our stay was private and unforgettable. He Also suggested Harriet Hollister State Park which over looks a mountain and that was an amazing view definitely check it out.. We will be back again.
Beautiful! Kip was there to greet us upon arrival. The cottage was adorable and the property beautifully maintaine the property's was secluded and private, but also close to town at the same time. I would definitely stay again!
My boyfriend and I had an incredible time at Woodsedge retreat. We stayed in the cabin and it was a perfect, easy getaway. We brought wood for a fire and watched the stars come out as the moon set. Kip was extremely helpful and super friendly. We've already recommended the place to our friends. If you're only there for a night, bring an extra gallon of water. There's a pump, but it might be easier to have your own. Wish we could have stayed for longer!
My boyfriend and I spent a couple nights at the love shack for Labor Day weekend. This might've been the best camping trip I've ever had. The cabin is secluded with everything you could ever want while camping. From the cozy cabin and fire pit to the lack of electricity I didn't want to go home. We will definitely be back. Thanks kip for supplying us with everything we needed and more.
We really enjoyed our stay at the "Love Shack"! Kip was very responsive and helpful about answering any questions we had. My husband and I (and our dog, Epi) only had time to stay for a night but we would've happily stayed longer if we could've. We were warned by Kip that the cabin was "rustic" (no heat/electricity) ahead of time. So I had low expectations, but the "shack" was bigger than I thought it was going to be, with a full sized bed, couch and a little table and chairs. It was very clean! The views of the open field, surrounding pine trees and quiet little pond were wonderful. We loved the privacy that the little campsite provided. We will definitely plan to return!
Kip's site was an amazing weekend get away. We had the entire 50 acres to ourselves, which we absolutely loved. But, not more than my puppy did, that's for sure. We drive down the road to the beach and dipped our toes in, hiked in the near by park, and made a fire with the wood Kip was kind enough to drop by for us. The cabin was bigger than I expected, but still small and quaint. My girlfriend and I are planning to make a trip up to Kip's place a yearly tradition!
Thank you so much for your very kind words. I would love to have you come back soon. The doors always open!!! Kip
When I arrived a Woodsedge retreat I was very impressed by the beautiful landscape surrounding the site. There was a great view in every direction! Kippley was so kind, he met me at the site, showed me around and made me feel very welcome! Kippley also got me a reservation very quickly and upon short notice which I was so thankful for! I had an amazing quiet adventure walking around the pond and fields, there was a big fire pit, many chairs and tables, it was the total vacation in one place! It is very much worth every moment! I cannot wait until I can return to this magical place. I was surrounded by beautiful nature, had a complete shack to retreat roof needed, and of course I loved the bullfrog symphony at night by the pond. This retreat now holds some of my most cherished memories! I would recommend this for anyone wanting a quiet fulfilling nature getaway! Thanks Kippley!
My girlfriend and I had a great time! Kippley was a responsive and friendly host. Would return, for sure!

CWP Gambia is fundraising for its work plan implementation
Between July and September 2016, Gambia Country Water Partnership (GCWP) has developed and submitted project proposals in response to calls made by Afric-alliance Consortium and Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data. The proposal submitted to Afric-alliance was for establishing Youth Action Groups for the promotion of IWRM principles and practices. The proposal submitted to the Global Partnership is to strengthen and consolidate the Water Resources Information Management System established at the Department of Water Resources by the defunct National Water Sector Reform Project. This is to expand and integrate relevant information collected and sharing among all stakeholders in the water and related sectors. It is also meant to facilitate access and usability of such information for water security, climate change resilient development, socio cultural and socio economic development, sustainability of the environment and vital ecosystems as well as the attainment of the sustainable development goals.
Following a call for proposal by UNDP, Global Environment Fund, Small Grants Programme (Support fund for civil society organisations) in 2015, and GCWP has developed and submitted a project proposal in respond to the call. The proposal is for "Stakeholder Awareness and Capacity Building Training for Two Hundred and Fourty Farmers (120 males and 120 females) in six communities in Kiang West, Jokadu and Illiasa districts, on Water Security, Ecosystems management and Climate Change Resilient Development issues.
Approval is granted to GCWP for implementing the project. An amount of Twenty-five thousand US Dollars (UD$25,000.00) is approved to fund the project. A Memorandum of Agreement was signed and all other arrangements are completed. A First payment of fifty per cent (50%) is expected to be made to GCWP account early October in order to facilitate project implementation. GCWP will continue to mobilise funds through development of proposals and other fund raising mechanisms.

He had no concept of time passing while in that state. Half asleep, half enjoying her presence and the thought that they'd been rescued from that horrible place. (1.29)
This is when everything seems like it's going to be okay. Thomas is just enjoying his momentarily solitude with Teresa in the dormitories. Time seems to fly when you're having fun. These moments set up a vivid contrast to what happens in the rest of the book, when there is never enough time, and life itself is at stake.
"Let's just think for a second."
"Time for thinking's done." (3.35)
The problem with the Gladers' situation is that they're constantly crunched for time. Thinking for just a second could probably be the best idea any of them have had, but as Minho says, there's really no time for thinking when everything around you is going nutso bananas.
He'd quit bothering to look at his watch—it only made time drag and reminded his body how long it'd been since he'd eaten. (9.33)
WICKED equips all of the Gladers with watches while they're in the dormitories; this might seem like an advantage since they'll know what time it is, but it's really a disadvantage: having a watch makes time drag.
Hunger... He felt it every second of every minute of every hour. (9.28)
In other words: pain. When you're feeling extreme pain (like hunger pains), time seems to go so slowly that every second feels like a thousand needles being stabbed into your liver. So we're told, anyway.
Thomas knew he had to do something. Time had run out. (16.6)
When time runs out, there's only one option: do something. Are the Gladers' actions better when they act on impulse, or are they better when the Gladers think things through?
He desperately wanted to be with his friends and Brenda again. But he knew time was running out, and he had no food or water to make it on his own. (49.2)
Time not only makes the Gladers move more quickly and with less caution, but it also separates them. If they had more time to reach the safe haven, Thomas could have regrouped with his comrades; the less time, the more stress placed on the individual.
He lost all concept of time as he lay there. It was as if whoever was behind it all wanted to give him a chance to reflect on what had happened while he waited for the end. (52.3)
Now that's what we call torture. Sometimes having too much time to reflect is definitely not a good thing.
An hour passed. Maybe two or three. Maybe only thirty minutes. He had no idea. (52.4)
Ever had one of those moments where you're at an utter loss for time? Well that's how Thomas feels, except he's caught in a situation in which he's about to be killed. What he needs to here, it seems, is act rather than reflect. But how is he supposed to act if he doesn't even understand his situation?
"You have five seconds to choose the one who stays. Don't choose and they both die. One." (61.28)
A classic method: the man from WICKED in this quote starts the count up to five so that Thomas has to make a quick decision. Often, this technique causes people to fold because of the extreme pressure.
Thomas knew they couldn't waste any more time. No questions, no fear, no bickering. Only action. (61.1)
Carpe diem. Seize the day. Time is money. Wasting time. All of these phrases are just ways of telling us that when we think about how time is passing, we're inhibiting ourselves from acting. Sometimes, of course, this is necessary. But what if you think too much and never end up acting?
And above it all, he had one image burned into his memories as strongly as a branded mark from a searing hot iron. His friend Chuck, stabbed in the chest, bleeding, dying as Thomas held him. (1.15)
Maybe it would seem better to forget some memories. This one is totally traumatic, and it haunts Thomas. WICKED sure isn't wiping this memory away, though. Why not? What's the point of all this?
But being reminded of his friend, and at such an odd moment, made Thomas angry. (7.27)
When you have a traumatic experience, being reminded about it isn't very fun. But when you're reminded of it at an odd moment—say, you're reminded of a skiing accident while you're on your first date—that can make you angry.
The scattered pieces of the puzzle brought back by the Changing weren't nearly enough to form solid memories. (9.10)
The Changing was a process a Glader would go through back in the Maze when they were stung by a Griever; it was painful, but it restored splotchy memories of the past. This is why Thomas keeps having these dream-memories.
If he was going to get through this, he'd have to try to forget about her for now. (9.26)
Pushing memories into the back of your mind is pretty hard to do, but in some cases it's vital. Thomas needs to forget about Teresa, despite how much it hurts him to do so.
His sense of direction surprised him, as if a piece of his past had risen from the ashes. (17.30)
Remember, Thomas had some kind of part in constructing the Maze, so when he has an oddly good sense of direction while in the Flat Trans, it makes us wonder if Thomas constructed the rest of the Trials as well.
As much as it pained him, as much as the memory of it tore at his heart, Thomas told the story. (21.23)
It pains Thomas to tell the story of his experience in the shed with Teresa. But the memory needs to be known to the public; some memories shouldn't always be kept to oneself, for example if they involve the safety and well-being of other people.
If he'd been funny in his old life, every scrap of humor had certainly vanished in the memory swipe. (23.33)
Yeah, that's probably not how it works. Either you're funny, or you ain't.
Thomas was quiet. Maybe more strongly than ever before, he felt that a memory—an important one—was trying to squeeze its way through the cracks in the wall blocking him from his past. (35.25)
We've all had this moment. It's like when you're thinking of a word, and it's on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't seem to spit the darn thing out. For Thomas, it's a little more important than that, because he's actually trying to reconstruct his identity as he searches through what memories he still sort of has.
With a jolt he remembered the tag outside her door back in the dorm. The Betrayer. He'd completely forgotten about it until that moment. Things started to make more sense. (46.9)
How, we ask, could Thomas possibly forget that Teresa was labeled The Betrayer? This memory baffles us, since seeing your best friend labeled as The Betrayer should be a massive red flag. Right? Well, sometimes love blinds you, we guess.
"So what'd I do to you?" Thomas asked quickly. "Sorry, I'm kind of havin' a memory lapse—ya know, we have those a lot around here. Remind me." (46.32)
Here is one of Thomas' attempts at humor. As you can tell, he isn't too funny.
He figured that most if not all of them would have major psychological problems. Maybe even go completely nutso. (1.14)
This seems to be one of the central ethical issues surrounding the whole WICKED experiment: even if the kids do emerge safe and victorious, they're all going to be pretty messed up as a result of all of the trauma they've experienced.
He was actually trying to decide whether he was more confused or scared when a clanging bell began ringing throughout the room. (7.1)
The amount of suffering these kids go through actually messes with their emotions, causing them to be confused in situations in which their instincts should tell them, Hey, you should be scared right now, or Hey, you should be excited right now.
He suddenly thought of Chuck and what he might say if he were there.
Something simple, probably. Something like, this sucks.
You'd be right, Chuck, Thomas thought. The whole world sucks. (11.5)
The whole world sucks. Hmm, that's a pretty nice outlook—but how can you blame Thomas for thinking so? Is there anything good about the world he's been placed into?
Getting his hopes up was something he'd sworn never to do again. Not until all this was over. (15.31)
Here is another example of how Thomas is truly put through horrible circumstances. Hope can sometimes be the one force that can keep someone going; without hope, giving up seems like a pretty viable option. What does Thomas hope for?
He sobbed, surely from the pain, probably also from the trauma of what he'd just been through. (16.20)
Traumatic suffering can be worse than physical suffering—just ask Winston, whose head was attacked by a gigantic silver blob.
He'd just killed a man. He'd taken the life of another person. His insides felt full of poison. (34.4)
Sometimes suffering doesn't always happen to the person who is harmed; it can also happen to the person who is doing the harming. Thomas is super traumatized when he kills Mr. Nose, and we have a feeling that'll haunt him for some time.
Too much. It was all too much. (43.25)
That's a pretty accurate way to sum everything up for the Gladers. Thanks, Thomas, for the insight.
The image of the sick boy, Ben, being Banished back in the Glade swam back into his brain. An odd time to think it, but now he knew how that kid had felt in those last seconds..." (51.37)
Thomas thinks about Ben right while he himself is being closed off by Teresa and Aris. Understanding someone else's suffering—in this case knowing Ben's—is a direct path to feeling empathy.
Though he certainly didn't think of himself this way, he and the others were just kids. Kids! (54.11)
Yeah, we should probably keep in mind that all of this suffering is being experienced by kids. It's one thing for a bunch of grown adults to be suffering through WICKED's trials, but these are just kids—their brains haven't fully developed, and their lives haven't really been lived yet.
"If we haven't done enough to pass your stupid tests, then we fail. The tests are over." (62.4)
Thomas feels like everyone's suffering has gone too far, so he can't bear to see more death. He says this to a WICKED officer, pretty much demanding that he not kill Brenda.
The man yells, "I'm a Crank... I'm a bloody Crank!" (2.16)
The Cranks are mad in more than one way. They're crazy, yes, but they're also seriously angry. After all, they know they're Cranks, which means that they know they have the Flare.
"Rose took my nose, I suppose." (31.46)
Probably the single best line in the history of literature, this is spoken by a true madman—Mr. Nose, of course. Does what he says actually make any sense? Or it is just gibberish?
"Little booooooy," the man said..."Little girrrrrrrrl. Come out come out make a sound make a sound. I want your noses." (32.16)
This is something straight out of a horror movie or a particularly gruesome fairy tale. It's almost like the kids are being forced to confront their worst childhood fears here.
One of them gagged and spit violently, like he was trying to rid himself of an organ or two. A woman laughed, so full of madness the sound made Thomas shudder. (32.13)
Now that'll give ya nightmares. We don't even know what else to say to that.
He'd seen it back at the window of the dormitory—but now he faced it on a more personal level. Right in front of him, with mo bars to keep them away. The faces of the Cranks were primitive and animalistic. (32.10)
When you see something from a distance, you don't get the full effect. It's only when Thomas sees them up close and personal that he finally realizes how the Flare works: it transforms humans into animalistic creatures.
If he hadn't had the Flare before—a slim hope that Rat Man had lied—he'd surely caught it by now. (34.25)
Thomas eventually start to think he has the Flare. His logic? His life is crazy, so he must be crazy. Think of it: with all of these Cranks running around and all of these crazy Variables, it's pretty hard not to think you're the one going crazy.
"Maybe we can be happy until we're past the Gone." She smiled then, a sickening, disturbing smile. "Then you can kill me." (37.49)
See, this is why Brenda scares the heebie-jeebies out of us. Our guess is that she's not exactly all there, and that the Flare has already started to eat away at her brain.
"I offered you a drink," Long Hair said again, this time any sign of kindness gone from his tattooed face. "It would be very rude to turn such an offer down." (37.37)
Here's an example of someone who isn't completely crazy—but who's starting to go crazy. Long Hair is a Crank who has a sudden mood swing when Thomas refuses his drink; this sudden change in mood isn't normal, especially given how sinister Long Hair's new mood is.
"Nice to meet you ...I'm a Crank. I'm slowly going crazy. I keep wanting to chew off my own fingers and randomly kill people. Thomas here promised to save me." (57.19)
Oh, Brenda, even though you're crazy, you still have a pretty solid sense of humor. (Unlike, ahem, the pretty sane Thomas.)
Thomas screamed before he knew what he was doing. He screamed and screamed and screamed until it finally woke him up. (64.18)
This episode happens right after Thomas dreams of Brenda talking to him telepathically. We're startled because we can't tell if it was just Thomas hallucinating, or if this actually happened. Maybe Thomas has caught the Flare, and he's going cray-cray himself; or maybe Brenda isn't just some random Crank who wants to chew off her fingers and kill people?
Thomas had lived in fear and terror the past few weeks, but this was almost too much. (3.3)
Ha, and you thought the Maze was pretty bad? Well, the Scorch Trials are even worse: not only do the Gladers have to deal with Cranks and bad weather, but Thomas is also separated from Teresa. What's he going to do without her?
Fear surely gripped them as much as it did him. They'd been through the Maze and its horrors. They'd seen up close what WICKED was capable of doing. (13.3)
Remember, Thomas isn't the only one who is scared out of jammy-jams. We might only get his perspective, but the other Gladers (you know, the ones we would probably be if we were in this book) are probably even more scared. With good reason, too—they're not main characters, so they're way more likely to buy the farm before the book ends.
He ran forward on instinct, pushing past several Gladers who seemed frozen by fear, moving toward the inhuman sounds. (14.61)
When you're afraid of something—say a creepy noise or sound—the first thing you do shouldn't be to run toward it. But if you know Thomas well, you'll know that he just runs towards trouble. Does that make him brave? Stupid?
Thomas exchanged glances with Newt, who returned a look that had a little fear in it but was mostly full of curiosity. (16.35)
Curiosity is often related to fear: many things we fear are unknown, which is why we fear them. But if we don't know exactly what this fear is, of course we're going to be a little curious as to what it is.
He wanted his memory block finally cracked for good... But that desire was tempered by fear of what he might find out about himself. (23.9)
Another reason why Thomas is so mentally torn is that he fears how he played a part in the Maze construction. Not knowing your past is one thing, but being afraid of what happened in the past is another thing.
He thought he'd gotten used to the fear of having the disease, but with this Crank standing right in front of him, he was more scared than ever. (26.10)
"It's easier said than done" is a pretty good phrase to illustrate this moment. It's a lot easier to get over the fear of having a disease when you don't know what it looks like, but when it's staring you in the face, that'll resurrect some demons.
The image of Chuck taking that knife for him popped into his head. And that did it. Snapped him out of those nanoseconds of frozen doubt and fear. (59.10)
The fear of dying looms in all of the Gladers' minds, but Chuck's death actually helps Thomas overcome his fear of death. In a way, it was a form of desensitization.
Maybe for the first time since entering the Glade weeks earlier, Thomas felt no fear. He didn't know if he'd ever feel it again. (61.9)
Unfortunately, that's wishful thinking. Fear affects everyone, no matter how much they've been exposed to it before. Thomas will find this out soon enough.
No more fear. No more shock. No more questioning. Take what comes. Play along. Pass the tests. Pass the Trials. (61.33)
The best way to block out fear, for Thomas, is action. Focusing on something, like passing the Trials, is a good way for Thomas and the Gladers to avoid letting their fear take over.
For the first time, Thomas realized the voice wasn't quite right... Fear had crept into his gut. A horrible, sickening, toxic fear. (64.11)
Ever felt like your stomach just did a flip? That's what Thomas is feeling right about now. There's no way to avoid fear completely—it's a normal reaction, and it serves a purpose. The question is knowing how to deal with it.
How could everything be taken away from them so fast? (4.2)
Thoughts like this will soon vanish for the Gladers, as anything is possible with WICKED behind the controls.
An alarm went off in his head—their brains had been tinkered with before. Had it happened again? Had their memories been altered or wiped? (5.27)
WICKED is actually so manipulative that Thomas begins to believe that they can control the behavioral patters in the Gladers' brains. If WICKED can do that, then the kids' unique identities are pretty much garbage. After all, didn't WICKED already erase all the kids' memories?
He knew they were on the edge of yet another great change in their ridiculous journey, and he didn't want to draw it out any longer. (7.32)
After being manipulated so much by WICKED, each Variable almost seems like another day in the office for the Gladers. Ugh, time to put on their ties, grab their briefcases, and walk out into another lightning storm. All in a day's work.
"Why do you even bother asking questions, dude? Nothing has ever made sense and it probably never will." (7.36)
Minho couldn't have said it any better. Asking questions won't do Thomas any good, because WICKED can manipulate the Variables as much as they want. They have absolute power over the Gladers.
"We can manipulate your brains and nerve receptacles when necessary." (10.46)
Thanks for reminding us, Rat Man, that WICKED is omnipotent. That's a real confidence-booster. If WICKED can manipulate everything, then why even bother with the trials?
"I don't know what the word for it is. But it blows me away how the two groups went through these trips parallel experiments." (19.34)
The word is probably "manipulative," but at this point, the kids are at an utter loss when it comes to having any sense of control. They've lost it all, and they're at the full disposal of WICKED.
They now knew they were being tested somehow, put through WICKED's trials. (19.20)
You'd think that knowing WICKED's plans would have been a leg-up for the Gladers, but it actually turns out that WICKED wanted the Gladers to know about their plans. With that out in the open, there's really no way the kids can gain any kind of strategical advantage for what they're getting into.
"I guess it's just another part of this whole nightmare that makes no sense." (36.11)
Phrases like this are thrown around every once in a while, highlighting how the kids feel about being manipulated so much. We agree: it sounds like an utter nightmare.
The people from WICKED had shown up to save him pretty quickly. From what they'd said, it was something they hadn't planned on, but they'd done it anyway. Which meant they were watching and could swoop in to save them whenever they wanted to. (42.12)
Even when Thomas finds out that WICKED could interfere with the experiment, it doesn't do him much good. So WICKED can save people at will; so what? What does it all mean? Why are they doing any of this in first place?
Could they even be manipulating her thoughts? Making her not like him anymore? (46.10)
If WICKED can control people's thoughts (like Teresa's), then who knows what's in store for Thomas. Will he continue to act like himself? Or will he just become a puppet for WICKED? Who is he, anyway? He certainly doesn't know—not with his memories wiped out as they have been by WICKED.
Minho exchanged a glance with Thomas, half smiling. Looked like both groups had come up with their own vocabulary. (6.16)
Ah, the signs of two people becoming BFFs. Whenever something funny or interesting happens while you're with your friends, it's hard not to take a look at your best friend to see his or her reaction. It's more fun to laugh together than to laugh alone.
Thomas couldn't help but feel sorry for Aris. To get grilled with all these questions after something like that had happened. (6.13)
Sometimes friendship can be formed by empathy or sympathy; in this case, Thomas feels empathetic towards Aris, as Thomas had been in a similar situation.
But if there was a person other than Teresa on the planet he could truly call a friend, it was Minho. And he couldn't handle losing him, too. (28.7)
Thomas thinks this in the middle of the book—you know, after he has found out Teresa is "The Betrayer." You'd think he would put aside his friendship with Teresa for maybe a second, but because of his experience in the Maze, he simply can't. Romance can do some crazy things to friendships.
Thomas found himself liking this girl. She'd just drawn blood from his best friend, but he liked her. Maybe, in a small part, because of that. (29.50)
Best friends can be a pretty big nuisance at times—after all, you learn all of their positive and negative qualities—so when you see someone make your best friend look a little silly, that can sometimes pique your interest. In this case, Thomas starts to like Brenda after she makes Minho look bad.
"I think it would be easier to make it through with fewer people. I'm not really great friends with any of those Cranks. Not like you and your... Gladers." (30.57)
Brenda doesn't have a very strong bond with anyone, which makes her something of a lone renegade. It's a lot easier to get through tough times when you're in a group, as even Brenda finds out, but she does always remain a little distant.
But what if some of them had been captured by whoever had set off the explosion? Or killed? And who had attacked them? Concern seemed to bleed his heart dry as they ran along. (30.5)
Thomas's concern for his fellow Gladers shows how friendship means a whole lot to him. Without his friends, Thomas doesn't feel right—he needs his friends in order to feel whole.
"Yeah. I can't quit worrying about my other friends. I just hate it so bad that we were separated." (35.4)
Again, Thomas's feelings of separation cause him some massive anxiety. Without his friends, he feels weakened.
That was it. He'd officially and completely lost any trace of doubt. Teresa had turned against him. Or maybe she had never really been on his side. (49.14)
Mmm, being stabbed in the back is a pretty bad feeling, but being stabbed in the back by your best friend can have some pretty damaging effects on your sense of reality and even your sense of self. Throw some romance into the mix, too, and now you've got yourself a pretty nasty brew of emotions.
Two people who every instinct had told him were friends. Until now. (50.23)
Yeah, because "The Betrayer" was definitely going to be your friend, Thomas. Right? What was Thomas thinking, anyway? Oh, right—nothing.
He had to trust his friends to save themselves. Knew he could trust them. (60.13)
Having a grand old time together is definitely one aspect of friendship, but Thomas needs to have trust in his friends' own survival skills. Friendship isn't just friendship in this books; it's also a means of survival. Actually, that's probably true about friendship in general, if you think about it.
"All I will say is that sometimes what you see is not real, and sometimes what you do not see is real." (10.46)
With this warning from Rat Man, the Gladers find themselves stuck in a Catch-22: if reality isn't what it seems, what can they possibly do?
Surely he was still asleep, dreaming. For some reason, that thought alone seemed to amplify his hunger... (10.17)
Hmm, maybe Thomas was dreaming about hamburgers and hot dogs. Or, maybe he was dreaming about what it used to be like before he was stuck in that darn Maze. Oh, well—either way, we guess dreaming makes Thomas hungry.
He knew he should tell them about his memory-dreams, but he just couldn't. (25.37)
If Thomas won't tell anyone about his memory-dreams, then their realities will just become foggier. Thomas should tell people his memories so that people can somehow figure out what's going on; by keeping his memories to himself, Thomas puts himself in a different version of reality from what others experience.
He couldn't help thinking of his dream and the brief glimpse he'd seen of [his mom], but did his best to forget it—it was too depressing. (29.42)
Repressing the past is something Thomas does so that he can focus on the present. Well, that's well and good, but as we know, the present in this novel isn't real. Hmm. There's a dilemma.
His mind drifted into a half-daze, thinking about the Maze and his splotchy memories and Teresa. Mostly about Teresa. (31.14)
Daydreaming: a favorite pastime of teenagers. How is Thomas's daydreaming different from his dreaming at night? Is it different?
"What if I see his nasty face every night when I go to sleep? What if he's in my dreams?" (34.32)
Thomas is afraid of having nightmares about Mr. Nose. But what's worse? A nightmare that isn't real, or the very real nightmare Thomas is actually living?
Teresa's brief visit to his mind seemed like a dream now. He could almost believe it had never happened. (43.8)
Part of the reason Thomas has a slightly better grip on reality than others do is that he has telepathic abilities, something his Glader friends don't have. Does this give him a leg up? Maybe. Or maybe it just distorts his sense even more.
He thought a lot about his dreams he'd been having, but still couldn't put enough together to truly understand what was going on. (49.3)
Thomas dreams all the time, but he still has trouble piecing all of those dreams together. His mind, his identity, and his reality are all a big, jumbled mess.
"WICKED is good." (65.39)
These are Teresa's final words in The Scorch Trials. It's hard to believe that WICKED is good, given all of the suffering the kids go through, but maybe WICKED truly is good, and that's just the harsh reality.
The future of the human race outweighs all. (E.5)
In the memorandum made by Ava Paige, she claims that WICKED is using these kids to help save the human race. We're given this information from a bunch of people who work for WICKED, which in some ways makes it still pretty hard to believe that WICKED is good. We mean, is that what they would want us to think?

By Government Contracts Editorial Staff
A technical evaluation was unreasonable because the government awarded strengths for features that were not included in the awardee's proposal for maintenance and repair services. The evaluators identified five strengths in the awardee's proposal that represented benefits or advantages as compared to the protester's proposal, and the source selection authority found the strengths were discriminators and represented "unique benefits and advantages" for the awardee. Based on these five discriminators, the SSA concluded that the awardee's proposal "generated the best overall value to the [g]overnment" and merited award, as compared to the protester's lower technically-rated, lower-priced proposal. According to the protester, the features described in the awardee's strengths were "nowhere to be found" in the awardee's technical proposal.
Three Unsupported Strengths. The Comptroller General sustained the protest, finding the record did not support the assignment of three of the five strengths cited as discriminators. The awardee received one strength for proposing to provide a weekly forecast, which exceeded a solicitation requirement to "provide a comprehensive preliminary [p]reventative [m]aintenance [s]chedule for the base contract year." The government acknowledged the awardee did not propose to provide a weekly PM forecast, but contended it was appropriate for the evaluators to rely on their "personal knowledge of how [the awardee] implements its PM schedule on the current contract." However, "in the absence of any discussion of this matter in the awardee's proposal, the government improperly assumed that [the awardee] would provide a weekly PM forecast." For the same reasons, two strengths involving a requirement to provide a web-based tracking system/computer maintenance management system were improper. The evaluators' comments in support of the strengths indicated they presumed that the awardee would perform the contract in a manner similar to its performance of the incumbent contract, even though the awardee did not specifically state it would do so in its proposal. The Comptroller General recommended the government reevaluate the awardee's proposal, and, if necessary, make a new award decision. (Native Energy & Technology, Inc., 34 CGEN ¶116,316).

The children have been involved in all sorts of exciting activities this week. They began the week with a 'danceathon' and had a fantastic time! The fun then continued on Tuesday when Natasha Stride (author of The Goobie) came to visit the children. They really enjoyed hearing about her book and her experiences as a writer. This has also helped to broaden their understanding of reading.
In the classroom we have continued our work on 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. The children iced biscuits to create wonderful caterpillar faces, talking about shapes and using their positional language. They also thought about favourite foods which they would choose to munch through, designing their own plates of food with labels.
In Little Explorers we thought about the habitat of a caterpillar and found natural resources to make our own 'cosy' caterpillar homes.
Well done Hippos!

San Diego Growth Rate of 15 Percent in 2018
San Diego Business Journal
By Ray Huard
Sunday, February 17, 2019
San Diego will be one of the 10 hot spots in the nation in 2019 for commercial real estate investment, according to a company that provides environmental reports on commercial real estate property.
"There's more interest kind of migrating away from those big gateway markets to the smaller ones, attributing the change to rapidly rising prices. Investors are tired of competing aggressively for price," Crocker said.
San Diego is especially attractive because prices are relatively low, the region is known for its high quality of life, and it has a broad pool of talented workers.
About San Diego Business Journal
Each week, the San Diego Business Journal delivers the market's most complete package of business news and information on San Diego County's companies, industries and business people. We cover commercial real estate, banking and finance, biotech, health care, technology, defense, tourism, manufacturing, professional services and more. Each week we also write about San Diego's vibrant start-up community.
