When colonies transition to a new contractor, there is a period of time when young and old animals come from different colonies and different contractors. The title of the health report download document includes the name of the resource, the colony number, and the date of the health report (not the date the animals were shipped for testing) in a six digit month-day-year format.

A fire forces Alliance residents from their home.
A fire has temporarily forced residents from their home at 827 S. Morgan Ave.
City Fire Department firefighters responded to the blaze at 7:52 p.m. Thursday. The fire, attributed to an electrical short, started in a wall on the second floor.
"It went up into the attic," Inspector Guy Aumend said. "But it is not like it burned the roof off. We got to it in time."
One of the residents was identified as Kendra Middleton. Other residents were home, but there were no injuries.
"Smoke detectors alerted them," Aumend said.
Damage is estimated at $9,000 total. The residents, who are tenants, are being assisted by the local American Red Cross chapter.
"There are like three adults and five children," said Barbara Slater, disaster program specialist for the Red Cross chapter. "We met the immediate need they had when we were there."
Owners of the house are Rhonda Evans and Troy Bush, according to Stark County real estate records.
City firefighters also extinguished a blaze Friday morning in a garage at a home at 1444 Parkway Boulevard.
A wood-burning stove overheated, resulting in a fire at the garage, according to Aumend. Firefighters responded at about 9:30 a.m. Friday. Damage was estimated at $2,000.
Owners of the property are Jess and Susan Gift of Chagrin Falls, according to county real estate records. The resident is David Minnich, according to Aumend.

Samsung has reported record financial figures, with a huge 76 per cent jump in profits for the last three months of 2012. This is thanks mostly to its range of Galaxy smartphones flying off the shelves.
This follows the record revenue Apple reported recently. So it's boom time for mobiles.
Samsung's net income rose to a record 7.04tn won ($6.6bn, or £4.2bn), which is up from 4.01tn won over the same period last year. Its mobile profits more than doubled over the same period, too.
63 million smartphones sold
Samsung didn't say how many smartphones it sold in the last three months of 2012, but analysts estimate it was around 63 million.
The Korean mobile maker also has big plans for its much-rumoured Galaxy S4 smartphone. It's reportedly ordered 10 million components for the handset, hinting it reckons it can sell that many every month. Which would be quite some feat.
The S3 has sold more than 40 million units worldwide, and Samsung is widely expected to repeat this success with the S4.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.0 is expected to make its debut at Mobile World Congress at the end of next month, along with its Galaxy Tab 3 range. The S4 isn't expected until April or May.

Press secretary sent KOMU 8 News this statement "Senator McCaskill is aware of the incident and views it as tragic. Her state staff is working to keep her informed on the situation."
Senator Roy Blunt's office at first refused to speak on record about the situation. But later Tuesday afternoon, his office issued at statement saying, "Senator Blunt is saddened by this tragedy, which is now in the hands of local law enforcement officials."
Hospital spokesman Stephen Gaither continues to refuse to release any details of the crime, citing more than one investigation going on there. Gaither said officials are focused on the criminal act that took place at the hospital, but there are other investigations taking place as well.

Anna Wintour wore floral Chanel. And ...no punk. I mean, as the boss lady of the show, this is super weak. And it's not like she's never been game. After all, at the Super Heroes themed MET Gala a few years ago, she also wore Chanel with weird animal horns on her hips. That time she brought it. This time...
I guess she thought she couldn't pull off studs and slashes, or something?
Anna couldn't stomach punk which, at 63, some might argue is understandable. But her daughter Bee Schaffer? Bee could have represented for both of them. And not only did she not represent, Jesus, Anna chose to style her instead for a cotillion. WHAT THE F-CK?!?
It turns out, even the most powerful woman in fashion is a Debutante's Mom at heart.

To say that Dabo Swinney wasn't pleased with a single aspect of Clemson's scrimmage Wednesday would be an understatement.
Depending on which account you read, the Tigers head coach spent a half-hour to 45 minutes of the post-scrimmage debrief lighting into every facet of his football team, from players to assistant coaches to himself. The State wrote "the Clemson football team received a 45-minute dose of coach Dabo Swinney's vinegar and fire;" the Charleston Post & Courier described it as "a 30-minute tongue-lashing from Swinney."
Whatever the case, Swinney had calmed down by the time he spoke to the media — but not much.
"I thought we hit the wall today," the irritated head coach said according to the Post & Courier. "Disappointed in our coaching which is a reflection of myself. It starts with me and stops with me. Disappointed in our attention to detail as players – way too many mistakes.
"If we would've played today, we would've gotten our butts handed to us. No question. It wouldn't even be close. It's just a disappointing day. We've had a good camp, but today I was very disappointed in the enormous amount of mistakes."
As for the specifics of the mistakes, wide receiver Adam Humphries cited "[s]ideline warnings, offsides, false starts, receivers lining up wrong" as the impetus for Swinney's post-scrimmage outburst. But wait, there was more.
"[A] symphony of errors with a string of penalties, three fumbles (two recovered) and an interception by corner Ryan Carter returned for a touchdown. Two more potential picks were dropped" is how The State tallied up the carnage.
There were enough negatives that one targeted group in Swinney's verbal barrage, the players, accepted it as necessary given how they had performed.
"It's his job to get on us and yell at us for things like that. We've got to respond to that," Humphries said. "Things will happen during the season, if we line up offsides, we know we've got to pay the consequence."

17 Apr How working with CDFA makes a difference in Divorce
I believe one of the most important roles I have, as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) is providing a reality check for my clients before , during and after divorce. I am pragmatic and not judgmental. I take the words in settlement agreements and turn them into numbers. .
Firstly, I do this by having a systematic approach for pulling together the financial numbers and information that they need to start separation discussions whether the are working in mediation, collaboration or traditional negotiations.
Secondly, I'm focused on finding solutions that work in both the short and long term. I create projections based on clients goals and possible settlement options , whether that be proceeds from sale of their house , impact of varies duration and levels of support, impact of future income and savings. These projections educate and show clients the future implications of what is being proposed. They also show the the impact of other decisions clients have control .
I had a client who was the main breadwinner of the family. She went back to school to upgrade her skills when her husband was downsized from his corporate job. She found a very well paying position and has had a number of promotions since starting at her company. Her husband found it difficult to get back into the workforce in his previous role. Discouraged, he started a small consulting practice but wasn't having much success in getting clients. When they decided to separate, her income was substantially more than his. She was very resentful of having to make Spousal Support payments to her husband. This looked like it was going to stall the settlement negotiations. I worked with her to understand her current & future spending, her future income and have her see the impact of various levels of support. I helped her set priorities going forward. Once she could see into her financial future, she agreed to a spousal support payment schedule she and her spouse could live with as she now felt confident about her own financial future.

Age Recommendation:
Definitely not for anyone under the age of 14. There are a couple scenes that are sexual and some scenes that deal with different forms of abuse.
Cover Art:
I think that the cover is really cool for this book. I like that the heart is made out of barbed wire. And once you're finished with the book, it will have a whole new meaning.
Seventeen-year-old Lochan and sixteen-year-old Maya have always felt more like friends than siblings. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward mother to take care of their three younger siblings. As defacto parents to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. And the stress of their lives--and the way they understand each other so completely--has also also brought them closer than two siblings would ordinarily be. So close, in fact, that they have fallen in love. Their clandestine romance quickly blooms into deep, desperate lo ve. They know their relationship is wrong and cannot possibly continue. And yet, they cannot stop what feels so incredibly right. As the novel careens toward an explosive and shocking finale, only one thing is certain: a love this devastating has no happy ending.
My Thoughts:
What would you do if you were in love with your sibling? This is the case for 17 year old Lochan and 16 year old Maya. These two siblings have always been close. But the bond they share has grown stronger and into something more than just sibling love.
Life is never easy when you have four siblings, your dad left, and your mom is an alcoholic who refuses to behave her age. For Lochan and Maya, life has been a struggle, but together they have made it work. The two work together to raise their three younger siblings due to the incapacity of their mother.
Through the years of raising their siblings together, Maya and Lochan built a bond that brothers and sisters aren't supposed to share.
The books switches between the POV's of Maya and Lochan and follows them through the trials they face as a family and as a couple. As well as how their relationship came to be.
This book is filled with so much emotion that it will take you for the ride of a lifetime. This book is full of passion, joy, sorrow, and laughs. And even though the topic of incest is so taboo, this book is so relatable to so many people on so many different levels. And I'd recommend this book to anyone. It is most definitely something that everyone should read at some point in their lives.

For those of you familiar with the California's FAIR Education Act (SB48), it is the latest target for many Christian groups who believe that homosexuality is a sin. Motivations are far more complex than that but for me to try and capture what my brothers and sisters in Christ on that side of the aisle believe would be unfair. Suffice it to say, they are none too happy about this recently signed into law legislation and there is a well organized effort underway to place a referendum on the ballot that would repeal the law.
In a nutshell . . .
The Fair, Accurate, Inclusive and Respectful (FAIR) Education Act would amend the Education Code to include social sciences instruction on the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. This bill would also prohibit discriminatory instruction and discriminatory materials from being adopted by the State Board of Education. [PDF Fact Sheet]
Obviously there are going to be many interpretations of this new law and the usual suspects – yours truly included – will line up on along our normal lines and ramp up our PR machines going. Consider this post as my stepping up to the line in defense and gratitude for the FAIR Education Act on behalf of my children and other people of faith who feel as I do about homosexuality.
I think it's GREAT that my children will be offered a broader glimpse into the history of the world around them and that the pioneers and prophets who happened to be LGBT will be part of the richer story of the world that is told. So much is already missing from our teaching of history that any attempt to provide a wider exposure to and understanding of events is welcomed by this parent. I also want to again affirm that, as a Christian, I simply reject the idea that homosexuality is a sin. We are not going to be able to solve the struggle some folks have with understanding the context and interpretation of scripture both verse by verse and in its entirety, but I want to be sure that the voice of faith in this ongoing struggle is not surrendered to those who would condemn my LGBT brothers and sisters.
Part of my calling in life and ministry is as a board member for California Faith for Equality, an organization that works with communities of faith who support and affirm the LGBT community. By engaging in training, advocacy and organizing around issues of marriage, bullying, education, etc. we boldly claim that faith traditions who would work against LGBT rights do not speak for all people of faith. It has been a privilege to serve as part of this group.
In response to recent efforts to repeal the FAIR Education Act, we have put together a quick video for people to watch and share. There is going be anti-FAIR messaging that exploits people's fear about sexual indoctrination, fiscal contraints and parental rights, so please share this alternative voice with those who might have heard about the repeal movement and need more info.
Please share this as you feel called!
HUGE THANKS . . . to Rev. Monte McLain, Presbyterian Church (USA) pastor, for speaking some powerful words; Photon Creative for providing production equipment; Adler & Co Gallery for opening up their space for filming and finally, the production crew: Husband and wife team, Dessiree and Brandon McFarland, Tyler Davis and Dakota Wilder. You all rock.

Tomato variety selection makes a huge difference.
You may have had your own tears, and understandably so. Late Blight of potatoes and tomatoes was the disease responsible for the Irish potato famine in the mid-nineteenth century. Spores are spread by rain/watering splash, insects, and wind, and through our hands and tools and through these mediums they can travel distances. Spore spread is most rapid during conditions of high moisture, marine layer days, and moderate temperatures, 60°-80°F. Once established, the fungi can over-winter in your garden soil, on debris and weeds.
Fusarium Wilt is commonly found throughout the United States, is a soil and wind-borne pathogen. Plants susceptible to Fusarium Wilt are cucumber, potato, tomato, eggplant, pepper and beans. Fusarium wilt causes foliage to yellow, brown spots on leaves, leaves to curve the length of the leaf, wilt, then turn brown and die. Your plants become stunted because they can no longer function properly. Even with resistant varieties, production can be drastically reduced.
Verticillium Wilt is also a soil and wind-borne pathogen. The list of plants susceptible to Verticillium Wilt is impressive. You might have thought it was just tomatoes, but look: Peanut, Horseradish, Rutabaga, Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, Pepper, Safflower, Hemp, Watermelon, citron Cantaloupe, honey dew, Pumpkin, Cotton, Okra, Mint, Radish, Rhubarb, Castor bean, Eggplant, Potato, Spinach, New Zealand spinach, Salsify, Yard-long bean, Cowpea! Cucumber, tomatoes and strawberries are particularly susceptible.
Verticillium wilt is most active in humid climates. Cool nights and moist conditions, the kind that favors peas, tend to encourage it. It is windborne and lives in the soil, entering plants through the roots and is drawn up to stems, leaves and fruit through water uptake. At the same time, it is robbing the plant of moisture. The first symptoms of Verticillium are usually seen in wilting, yellowing and curling leaves. Discolored streaks are often seen in strawberry stems and runners, and in berry canes. Get resistant strawberry varieties like Seascape.
To determine if a plant is infected with bacterial wilt, press together two freshly cut sections of a stem and slowly pull them apart. If a "stringy" sap (bacterial growth and associated resins) extends between the cut ends, the plant has bacterial wilt.
Especially Tomatoes! And of those, Heirlooms are particularly susceptible to the wilts. Instead, get varieties that have VFN or VF on the tag at the nursery. The V is for Verticillium, the F Fusarium wilt, N nematodes. Ace, Early Girl, Champion, Celebrity, are some that are wilt resistant/tolerant. In these drought conditions, consider getting only indeterminates. In the Mother Earth News tomato survey, they found gardeners chose heirlooms over hybrids if their soil is wilt/blight free. Otherwise, the longer the gardener has gardened, they more they chose wilt resistant hybrid toms if their soil has the fungi.
Western striped cucumber beetles (on right in image) are deadly to cucumbers. They are referred to as 'plant-wounding insects' and also transmit bacterial wilt. Feeding on blossoms and leaves, they also spread it among squash, melons, and pumpkins which in turn spread it to nearby tomatoes. Cucumber beetles also vector viruses such as cucumber mosaic but do so much less efficiently than aphids. Spiders are one of the predators that eat the beetles. Let those spiders live! A tachinid fly and a braconid parasitoid wasp parasitize them. Grow plenty of flowers for these beneficial insects!
Radish have become my new religion! Radish repel the beetles! Best to plant your radish before installing your transplants or have it up before the seedlings start growing from seed. Grow your radish companion along where you will let the vine travel, among squash and pumpkins, cucumbers and TOMATOES! The part of the vine growing up over an arch or up a trellis won't be helped, so if you have space and uninfected soil, you may opt to keep your vines on the ground. If you do have infected soil, but choose to keep your vine on the ground, keep that area weeded and don't lay on mulch. Weeds and mulch keep soil moist. The fungi dry and die on hot dry soil. Water only where you staked, at the planting basin. Plant enough radish so you can eat some, but as a beetle repellent, let it grow out so the whole plant is big and protecting your cukes, tomatoes and other vines.
Broccoli also repel cucumber beetles. Grow cucumbers on the sunny side under over summering Broccoli. Put in plenty of straw mulch to keep the brocs cool and the cukes off the ground. Whenever you see these beetles don't fall for how cute they are. Anticipate how they drop to the ground when you reach for them so approach from below, hand open. Catch & Squish.
Apply straw mulch an inch thick! No more than that. You want light and air circulation, for the soil to warm and dry some. Washington State Extension says: Straw mulch can help reduce cucumber beetle problems in at least 3 different ways.
- First, mulch might directly slow beetle movement from one plant to another.
- Second, the mulch provides refuge for wolf spiders and other predators from hot and dry conditions, helping predator conservation.
- Third, the straw mulch is food for springtails and other insects that eat decaying plant material; these decomposers are important non-pest prey for spiders, helping to further build spider numbers.
It is important that straw mulch does not contain weed seeds and to make certain that it does not contain herbicide residues which can take years to fully break down.
Transplant rather than direct seed! Tiny seedlings are most susceptible to cucumber beetle feeding damage and to bacterial wilts.
Cucumber Beetles have their preferences! Bitter is their favorite. Not interested in watermelon at all, but watermelon does get the wilts, just from other sources! Anyway, see more details and rankings of varieties of different kinds of veggies. Varieties make a huge difference.
Long story short, less C Beetles, less Wilts = healthier Tomatoes!
Special Planting and Growing Tips!
At the community gardens I have seen gardeners give up growing Toms and Cukes due to the wilts. But if you are willing, you can do it! Here's how!
Regarding soil fungi like Fusarium and Verticillium wilts/fungi, how you plant and care for cukes and toms is super important! Cucumbers are even more susceptible than tomatoes to the wilts fungi, die pretty instantly, in about 3 days when they get infected. So when you plant them, treat them similarly to your tomatoes if you have wilts fungi in your garden.
- Plant cukes and toms on a raised mound/basin with the bottom of the basin above the regular soil level. This allows good drainage. Make the basin low area as big as your tom's feeder roots will grow to. Once planted, top the bottom of the basin with a 1/2″ of compost, cover that with only 1″ of straw to let in air and sun to dry the soil. If you are planting early in cool moist soil, do not add the compost and straw layers………
- Keep ALL the LEAVES OFF THE GROUND from the get go. Leaves touching the soil is the main way toms get the wilts. Remove lower leaves that might touch soil when weighted with dew or water from watering. Keep a regular watch for new foliage sprouting at ground level and remove it on sight! AVOID WATER SPLASH when watering at ground level. The fuzzy damp leaves of toms and eggplant are perfect fungi habitat.
- When your toms are about a foot tall, water neighboring plants, but not your toms. That keeps the soil drier near your plant, so the fungi can't thrive there. Since toms have a deep taproot, they will get plenty of water from what you give neighboring plants. Water near them but not at them or on them. In fact there are farmers who dry farm tomatoes! Read more!
- If you are comingling beans with cukes lower along a trellis, plant the beans between the raised cucumber mounds. Beans don't get the wilts, but love the water, so lower is good. They are a big plant with continuous high production and short roots that need to be kept moist. Mulch ASAP with straw under cukes to keep lower leaves and fruit off the ground, and out of the insect zone. Put a tall enough stake in the middle of each basin so you know where to water later when the leaves get big and cover the area. Water gently BELOW the leaves at ground level, no splash. Keep those leaves dry. Keep removing lower leaves as your plant grows.
- Since the fungi are airborne as well as soil borne, plant in different places as far apart as possible. Plant so leaves of one plant are not touching another plant. Remove sickened foliage ASAP to reduce fungi population and slow spreading. When possible, prune on hot, dry, unwindy days, mid morning to midday, after dew has dried, so cuts can dry and heal with less chance of airborne fungi getting into them. Try not to touch the cuts after they have been made. Use clippers for a clean cut. Wash your hands often, dip your tools in alcohol. Trimming away infected leaves is a sad and tedious process. It's practically impossible not to spread the fungi as you touch leaves that have it and try to remove them without touching any other stems or leaves. The very cuts you make are open to fungi. Then, naked stems are susceptible to sunscald – see image below. You come back a few days later and more leaves are wilting. The disease is internal, has spread out to the leaves. At some point soon after that, a lot of gardeners pull the suffering plant. It's done. Not good to leave it and let windborne fungi infect neighboring plants. Do not compost infected plants or trimmings. The fungi has amazing survival ability and being soil borne, it is right at home in your compost. Put it in the trash, carefully bagged so as not to spread or leave any trace. Wash your hands, dip your tools in alcohol. If you can, burn the infected plants on a non windy day.
- The wilts can't be stopped. Sooner or later the plant leaves curl lengthwise, get the dark spots, turn brown then blacken, dry and hang sadly. Plants can produce but the fruit doesn't ripen properly if it does produce. It's agonizing to watch. Sometimes they somewhat recover later in the season after looking totally dead. You had stopped watering them, summer heat dries the soil and kills enough of the fungi for the plant to be able to try again. But production is so little and fruits don't ripen properly. It's better to pull it, reduce the fungi population that can blow to other plants. The safest bet is to remove the entire plant. Get all of the root as best you can. The root is where the wilt's mycelium first congregate and infected roots left in the ground will start the whole process again. Replant in a different place if possible….can't be stopped.
That said, consider this! Per a comment by Leroy Cheuvront at Heavy Petal blog: 'I have had the blight and have stopped it from destroying my tomato plants. All you have to do is mix 1/4 cup of BLEACH to a gallon of water [add a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dish soap as a surfactant so it will 'stick,' and do it as early as possible in the day] and drown the plant from top to bottom, it will not kill the plant. I do it every seven days and the blight has not returned.' — June 18, 2010. It sounds scary, but I bet it works! I would test this principle on ONE plant to be sure it is safe to use.
The summer of 2019 I finally got up the courage to try Leroy's Bleach mix! IT WORKED! I started after my plants were showing wilts signs, figured I had nothing to lose ~ totally scared it would kill my tom, I tried it on one, frightened to come the next day to see how it was. Just like Leroy says, it did not kill the plant! Whew! I wasn't religious with the weekly treatment but my plants vastly improved, there was plentiful production that other gardeners commented on, and production lasted months longer than usual!
Preventive Foliar Mix that can help!
Apply to newly installed transplants, and during the season every 2 to 3 weeks, so new growth will be covered. Wet both the undersides and tops of leaves. Per gallon add:
- One dissolved regular strength aspirin
- 1/4 Cup nonfat powdered milk
- Heaping tablespoon baking soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon mild liquid dish soap
After the tomatoes set, add some Nitrogen. Stressed plants are the most susceptible to the fungus. Boost your plant's immune system with some worm castings at the same time. You don't want to add too much nitrogen to your tomatoes before they set fruit because it leads to more leaves, less fruit. Add N only once. Water regularly and deeply. Use well-balanced, slow-release organic fertilizers that aren't overly heavy with nitrogen. Alfalfa pellets will do the job. A healthy plant tends to fight off the spores.
Blight can also be transmitted through seed, so NO seed saving from infected plant fruits. Fresh seeds from a safe source and resistant varieties are in order.
Remove volunteer tomatoes and potatoes. If they are a not a resistant or tolerant variety, when they get sick, they increase the chances of your resistant varieties having to fight harder to live, and your good dear plants may not win the battle.
Air circulation, plant staking and no touching. Air circulation allows the wind to blow through your plants. This allows the timely drying of leaves and it helps break up micro climates. If your plants are packed too tightly together, they themselves become barriers to drying. Staking your plants to poles and using cages helps them grow upright, creates gaps between the tomato plants. Thin growth inside the cage if the leaves get too dense. You want wind and sun to reach through and around your plants. Moisture is needed for fungi to spread. Dry is good. Tomatoes should be planted with enough distance that only minor pruning is needed to keep them from touching each other.
Spray proactively. Wettable sulfur works. It is acceptable as an organic pesticide/fungicide, is a broad spectrum poison, follow the precautions. It creates an environment on the leaves the spores don't like. The key to spraying with wettable sulfur is to do it weekly BEFORE signs of the disease shows. Other products also help stop the spread. Whatever you select, the key is to spray early and regularly.
At the end of the season remove all infected debris, don't compost or put in green waste containers. Bag it and trash it. Don't leave dead tomato, eggplant or peppers in the garden to spend the winter – especially if you are in a community garden. Pull weeds because spores can over-winter on weed hosts. Many weeds, including dandelions and lambsquarters, are known to host Verticillium wilt. During our winter season, turn your soil about 10 inches deep. Let the soil dry and the fungi die. Burying the spores helps remove them, it disturbs cucumber beetle eggs and exposes snail eggs to die!
If you have space, crop rotation is an important tool in fighting wilt. If you've had trouble with wilt, don't plant potatoes, eggplant, or other Solanaceous vegetables where any of them have grown for at least four years.
Practice prevention, be vigilant. If you don't have wilts in your soil you are so blessed!

A world premiere from much sought after Iraeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter is the centrepiece of this contemporary mixed programme from The Royal Ballet. Characteristic of Shechter's visceral and compelling style is his focus on ensembles above the soloists, here as an exploration of tribal energy through "an ocean" of dancers. This dark and intense new work is certaint to leave an impression. It's an ideal complement to the two ballets that complete this dynamic contemporary programme. Balanchine's groundbreaking The Four Temperaments presents a series of fiercely challenging solos and ensembles with a radiant climax set to music by Hindemith. The programme is completed by the powerful Song Of The Earth, set to Mahler's great song cycle, in which Kenneth MacMillan explores the fragility of human life through choreography of flowing and poignantly angular beauty.

This guide is specifically for guests traveling to Disney World in August 2017 (The rest of the year will come soon if you're looking to travel later in the year!)
For complete months: January 2017, February 2017, March 2017, April 2017, May 2017, June 2017, July 2017
August wraps up the summer season. While July saw some lower crowds, it lead to a bit to higher than average August crowds before back to school season starts. The middle of the month sees a dip in crowds. As you get closer to Labor Day weekend, the crowd levels bottom out to some of the lowest that you'll see any time of the year. In terms of pricing, with the dip in crowds, you'll see a dip in pricing around the middle of the month. The entire month will be HOT. Doesn't matter when. it's the hottest month of the year.
August weather in Disney World
According to Weather.com the average high in the month of August is 92 and the low is 73. Be sure to check your favorite weather app prior to your departure to confirm actual temperatures before you pack. It will be warm and humid. Also expect rain as the humidity rises but it's often a welcomed rain and not often an all day soaking rain. Plan plenty of pool time and maybe a day at the water parks!
Choosing Your Travel Dates/Events to be aware of
- Sounds like summer concert series in Epcot – not a huge crowd draw, but a way to add some free magic to your park time!
- Epcot Food & Wine Festival starts earlier than ever: August 31st. Expect this to draw more crowds to Epcot than in the past!
Special Offers/Promotions
- No promotional offers will be available at the time of publication. Look to offers becoming available in Spring of 2017 (likely March) for summer travel dates(based on historical releases). In previous years, a room discount has been offered. Disney sweetened the deal last year and offered a unique MagicBand for all packages!
When to book dining
Dining reservations are available 180 days in advance of your arrival date which means you can book dining for August as early as February. If you have an active package, you'll have the ability to book dining for your entire length of stay. If you're inside that mark, you may not see every dining reservation available – especially popular things like character dinners (especially Cinderella's Table, and Chef Mickey's) and popular locations like Ohana and Be Our Guest. Don't let lack of availability worry you, since all Disney dining reservations require a credit card guarantee, cancellations do happen so persistence and patience are key! As we start the month in Spring Break, planning for the incredibly popular locations are often best for later in your trip to secure prime dinner times!
So how much will it cost a family of 4 to travel to Disney World in August of 2017? Let's do the math. Remember these are NON-DISCOUNTED rates so your total could be less than the ones listed below.
The Smith family wants a fun an inexpensive vacation and are planning 7 days and 6 nights at a value resort. I suggested Pop Century in a preferred room since it's most centrally located among the value resorts. They are taking mom, dad, Susie – 13 and Jenny – 9 on their first vacation! They have decided on 5 days of base tickets to really focus on one park each day and to save a little bit of money and will pay for meals out of pocket and bring some snacks with as well, so no dining plan. $2534.09
The Jones family wants a moderately priced vacation and are also planning 7 days and 6 nights, but they want to stay at a moderate resort. Their two daughters love Disney princesses so they are considering an upgrade to a royal guest room. They are also going to do 5 days of base tickets but are considering the upgrade to park hoppers to see more with their time. If the Jones family chooses the least expensive package options, their moderate vacation would cost them $2984.45 If they added park hoppers to their tickets, their vacation would cost them $3272.41. And if they wanted to upgrade to a royal room their vacation would cost them $3670.64
The Howell family wants to go all out for their two children's first Disney World vacation and stay in a deluxe resort for 7 days and 6 nights. They definitely want park hoppers to see everything and they are considering the dining plan. Their preferred resort is Wilderness Lodge but with the construction scheduled, they are going to try out the recently renovated Polynesian resort to have access to Magic Kingdom. and Epcot. With 5 days of park hoppers, their vacation would cost them $5088.16 If they did elect to add the dining plan, their vacation would cost them $6445.40

Since the event was about loving your hair the team at Dove asked me for sketch concepts that truly focused on hair. I presented a few ideas and the one we agreed upon was to color and finish the hair in the illustration only. I still drew full fashion illustrations of each guests look for the day but only in pencil, then rendered the hair and only the hair in color. Another unique element to this event and these custom illustrations was that I also included the New York skyline as a background to reflect the event which was in the penthouse suite atop Nomo Soho with sweeping views of the city. To make the illustrations consistent, and in the interest of saving time, as I have to move very quickly when live-sketching parties, I printed and cut-out the skyline and made myself a stencil (shown above with the actual city skyline behind it.) Once I finished each fashion illustration I placed the stencil over it and added a contour of the skyline. The sketches came out great and both the guests and the Dove team were thrilled with them. Everyone loved not only their hair, but their hair sketches as well!

Research Oriented Course (ROC) on Data Science and Engineering Systems and Technologies (IV, 6 ECTS, 4 SWS)
Big Data (BD) and Machine Learning (ML) are key drivers underlying the current wave of innovation in artificial intelligence and data science. Indeed, these drivers have had a profound impact on both the economy and the sciences. This course targets research-oriented students who aim to pursue a PhD in Big Data Management or Data Science and Engineering Systems and Technologies. Upon completion of this course, students will have learned about contemporary research methodology, gained both theoretical and practical skills in data management and big data technologies, and be attuned to today's major research challenges in scalable data management and processing. The course is designed to principally impart technical skills (30%), method skills (40%), systems skills (10%), and social skills (20%).
The central focus of this module is on contemporary research methodology (CRM), data management technologies, and related research challenges. After an initial presentation on CRM, including scientific reading, writing, and presenting, in subsequent lectures, students will read about foundational data management methods/technologies and offer a presentation, which will then be followed by an instructor led presentation addressing related advanced topics.
Topics of discussion, include data storage and indexing, specification and compilation of data analysis programs, query optimization and self-tuning, adaptive methods, processing data science pipelines as well as responsible data management. The course will also include a lab component, where students analyze and evaluate discussed methods, technologies, and settings in a methodical and scientific way.
Mandatory Requirements:
Computer science topics addressed in TU Berlin modules in the Bachelor's curriculum, particularly, both ISDA (Information Systems and Data Analysis) and DBPRA (Practical Database Systems Lab) or their equivalents, as well as good programming skills in C, Java, and SQL are all required. Additionally, an undergraduate course in linear algebra, probability, and statistics. This course will be offered in English. Thus, fluency in English is also required.
The portfolio exam (worth 100 points) is comprised of three parts: (i) technology presentation (30 points), (ii) experimentation presentation (30 points), and (iii) a final report (40 points). The final grade will be computed according to the Grading Table 2 of Faculty IV, according to German law, § 47 (2) AllgStuPO TU Berlin.
Prior to the start of the first lecture, students must register themselves in the DIMA Course Registration Tool: www.dima.tu-berlin.de. In addition, students must register both in ISIS (the course organization tool) -and- QISPOS (the TU Berlin Examination Management Tool) within the first six weeks of the current semester. The maximum number of participants is restricted to six due to limited mentoring capacity.

Graduate FAQ's
Q. Is the GRE exam mandatory?
A. The general portion of the GRE exam is required for your application. GRE's are valid for five years from the date they are taken. ETS will not report GRE scores older than 5 years, so we must receive them before they expire.
- Institute Code: R5248
- Department Code: 1404 or 1499
- General test: Required
- Subject test: NOT required
- A minimum Quantitative score of 155 is required of all applicants.

I want to starting coding financial part of political regions. I think that making the nation decides only by player score isn't very accurate and want to make it little more sophisticated. I'm thinking about quite simple (maybe fuzzy, but it's not important now) function taking few arguments from last month history, maybe scalling them and compare with values stored in xml file.
So here is first poll about that scalling part, please think a little and anserw here If you think that these values should somehow (not matter how) influence at nations choice, say yes. If your anserw for something is : "Yes, but only a little" please select no, don't wan't to have to many not really nessesary varibles.
My anserw is yes for area and no for population, becouse:
- since on mission will not die to many people (i think we could count them in tens) it's not really imortent that becouse of alien attack will die less people during one month then in road accidnets , but even thou newspapers will say (terrible death of 10 people in alien terror atack ! )
- about are region i think yes, becouse it will help us to make regions, we will don't have to very accurate place regions. Region size will be also calulated automaticly so it will not border us when we will be balancing values. Of course it will not be used in all type of 'accidents'.

There's an old saying in comedy: "Buy the premise, buy the bit." Alex Holdridge's In Search Of A Midnight Kiss asks the audience to buy a whole stack of premises, starting with the idea that a kiss on New Year's Eve is "all the hope of romance of the year culminating in just one moment." In a last-ditch attempt to get the year started right, mopey screenwriter Scoot McNairy posts a request for a date on Craigslist, and gets a call from sardonic actress Sara Simmonds, who tells him he has until sundown to impress her, or else she's going to find someone else to smooch. Contrived? Absolutely. But Holdridge must feel he needs the contrivance to juice up a routine indie walk-and-talk.
In Search Of A Midnight Kiss shows enough flashes of brightness that its more conventional business is all the more dispiriting. When McNairy is caught masturbating to a Photoshopped picture of his roommate's girlfriend, or when he jokes that he would've slit his wrists long ago "if the bathtub here weren't so filthy," or when he grills Simmonds about whether she trimmed her pubic hair in anticipation for their date, Midnight Kiss becomes just another artificial movie about quippy characters trying to out-zing or out-shock each other. But then McNairy's roommate launches into a long, funny rant about how physically dirty and low-down Los Angeles women are, or McNairy objects to wearing clothes on his date that will make him feel humiliated in 10 years, and suddenly the characters come to life, graced with nuance and a point of view.
It also helps that Midnight Kiss sports such an evocative black-and-white DV look, using dissolves to add a romantic touch to the decrepit downtown L.A. downtown blocks and seedy waterfront parks where Holdridge sets the action. The movie has such a strong look and such a keen sense of place that it's hard not to root for it, even when Holdridge is having McNairy run from Simmonds' deranged ex-boyfriend in a scene that could've been ripped from some unproduced '80s teen comedy. Los Angeles is often accused of not having much substance, but even when Midnight Kiss is sputtering, viewers can tune the dialogue out and just watch the scenery in one of the most "there"-y L.A. movies ever made.

DAKINE ISA World Junior Surfing Championship Presented by Billabong
Sunday, April 22, 2012
Playa Venao, Panama
There's quite a lot of Aloha spirit spreading through Panama at this time. In a thrilling final day of competition at the DAKINE ISA World Junior Surfing Championship Presented by Billabong, which was run in ultra-fun waves at the Playa Venao beachbreak, Team Hawaii won two of three individual Gold Medals and managed to win its first Team Gold Medal since 2005.
Two of the youngest Hawaiians on the team, 14-year-old Dax McGill (competing in Girls Under-18) and 14-year-old Kalani David (Boys Under-16) carried the Aloha State flag proudly as they were chaired up the beach by teammates after winning their respective divisions. Brazil's Matheus Navarro, one of the most dynamic, entertaining and innovative surfers of the event, won the Gold Medal in Boys Under-18.
Under sunny skies and with light onshore winds blowing, athletes from the 31 nations found a spot on the beach to watch the best 24 surfers remaining in the event on the last day of competition. Many wore their country colors and waved their nation's flags, even if they no longer had an athlete competing.
ISA President Fernando Aguerre was all over the event site, greeting athletes, speaking on the webcast, shaking hands with coaches and cheering for the top-level surfing happening in the water. When he wasn't on the sand, the ISA President was sharing conversations with the distinguished guests in attendance: Panama's President, Ricardo Martinelli; Salomon Shamah, the country's Minister of Tourism; and Ricardo Fabrega, the Minister of Government and one of the country's first surfers. President Martinelli spent much of the day watching from the judges tower and even made an appearance on the live webcast, both in English and Spanish, which was being viewed in 144 countries.
After eight days of competition featuring the best junior surfers in the largest and most important under-18 surfing event in the world, Hawaii's coach, Rainos Hayes, stood at the shoreline mid-day beside his other coaches. A flag pole leaned against his shoulder, and the red, white and blue of the Hawaiian flag waved in the onshore winds above him. All he could do was watch the action in the water and smile. And why wouldn't he? In the Girls division, which had begun the week with 81 athletes, three of the four surfers competing for a medal were representing Hawaii.
"We've had such a beautiful event, and there's a game going on here, and you do want to win, but that's kind of far from the focus right now. I'm very proud of all the girls," said Hayes, who's been coaching Team Hawaii for 17 years. "I told them to go play, go surf, show what you can do. In the end, if you've got to take a look at [tactical] situations, that's fine, but you girls need to go get on waves worth riding and really perform. You've earned everything that's come to you thus far."
Any nerves that may have been present for the Hawaiian trio of Mahina Maeda, Dax McGill and Tatiana Weston-Webb weren't noticeable. The three surfers spread across the lineup and caught wave after wave. A Hawaiian sweep wasn't a given, however, since the other competitor was the only undefeated surfer in the event, Ellie-Jean Coffey of Australia.
With a minute left in the heat, Coffey caught a mid-sized left and completed a series of top turns, and threw a claim when she completed the ride. The score moved her into the first position.
Seconds later, McGill – an ISA first-timer and the youngest surfer in the Final – found a left of her own and the first maneuver set the tone.
"I did that first hit and got super psyched, and saw two more sections coming up and I was like, 'let's whack this thing as hard as I've ever whacked something before!" McGill explained.
She rode the whitewater into the shore, where her Hawaiian teammates were already waiting. Four of the guys went diving into the water to meet her. When the 6.93 score was announced, she was hoisted onto their shoulders and given the champions chair ride all the way to the podium.
"I'm on top of world right now," said McGill, after the heat, the Hawaiian flag draped over her shoulders and a Cheshire cat grin stretching from freckled cheek to freckled cheek. "Thank you to everybody who's ever supported me. I'm so stoked right now! This is my first year doing ISA and I never thought I could ever make it this far, but I just did – I proved myself wrong."
Coffey ended up with the Silver Medal. McGill's teammates, Weston-Webb and Maeda, ended up with the Bronze and Copper Medals, respectively.
The Aloha pride continued in the next Final, with two more Hawaiians surfing for medals in the Boys Under-16 division.
In the last two days, Kalani David really began to display the array of aerial maneuvers that has made him one of the most talked-about surfers of his generation. Wave after wave, aerial after aerial he built the foundation of a Gold Medal-winning score (13.50).
"I woke up really sick this morning. I drank a lot of Vitamin C all morning and watched a lot of surf movies to get ready," David said. "I'm super stoked right now. It means the world to me to win the Gold Medal. Being in a contest with junior surfers from all around the world, it definitely is something I'll remember forever."
David's Gold Medal performance, along with Josh Moniz's Copper Medal solidified Team Hawaii's position atop the standings. Japan's Takumi Nakamura finished in second to win the Silver Medal, while Costa Rica's Noe Mar McGonagle won the Bronze.
In the final heat of the day and the eight-day event, the last celebration was reserved for Team Brazil. Fighting for position in the team standings, the Brazilians had two surfers aiming for Gold in Boys Under-18. It just so happened that the two surfers, Matheus Navarro and Deivid Silva, were among the most dynamic surfers in the event.
While Portugal's Vasco Ribeiro (Bronze Medal) and Australia's Joshua Hay (Copper Medal), put up a noble effort, the Final was an all-star performance by the two Brazilians, exchanging first and second position on several occasions. With the final minutes of the clock ticking away, the two had an exchange that represented the type of surfing they'd done all week. On a right-hand wave, Silva found speed in unexpected places, floating over multiple closeout sections before landing a backside reverse with no grab, for a 9.33.
A short while later, the regular-footed Navarro – who needed an 8.3 to catch Silva – found a long right and executed every maneuver he could think of. He mixed vertical snaps with polished, swooping turns and closed the wave with a two-hand first-pump. His excitement, and that of the Brazilian team – which went running down the beach toward Navarro – were justified. The judges awarded him an 8.43, which was just enough to move him into the Gold Medal position, with a two-wave total of 16.90. Silva finished in the Silver Medal spot with a 16.80.
"It was a really long week, I think I competed in over 10 heats and made it all the way to the final. I lost in the second round and fell to the Repechage, so it was really tough to face that. But one of the coaches told me that in this event in Portugal 2007, Jadson Andre had the same luck and ended up winning the Gold," said Navarro, who carried up the beach by his team as the new ISA World Junior Champion.
Following the final heat of the day, the festivities transitioned to the medal podium and the Closing Ceremony. Each of the four finalists received their medals, and it was announced that Hawaii had won the Team Gold. In the seven years since its last Team Gold, the Hawaiians had won Silver twice, Bronze twice and Copper twice. They were due.
With all 31 nations surrounding the stage, and photographers and videographers packing the press area, the ISA President shared some words expressing his overwhelming joy after a picture-perfect event.
"Surfing and the ISA love Panama. I want to thank the organizers of the event, Tuti de León and Patrick Castagnet. They have organized three wonderful events for the ISA in 20 months. [President Martinelli] has confirmed that he wants us back next year with one of the ISA major events, so we may meet each other again," Aguerre said. "Thank you so much everybody and I want to leave by saying something really important: some of you are going back home with a medal and others not, but each one of you are champions and this experience will remain in your hearts for the rest of your life."
The guest of honor of the final day confirmed Aguerre's words.
"I am thankful for having all of you here in Panama, and I am honored because I know that the President of the ISA accepted my invitation to do another event here next year," President Martinelli said. "Surfing in Panama is known all over the world for its beautiful beaches, waves and surfers, and above all we have a great heart to receive all the surfers from all over the world. I hope to see all of you next year."

The nature park lies between the centres of Bayreuth, Hof and Weiden and the Czech city of Cheb (Eger in German) and today covers an area of more than 1000 square metres.
A dense network of hiking and cycle routes, including the "Franconian Mountains Trail", which has been awarded a quality seal by the German Ramblers Association, and the popular Main Cycle Route, run through the Fichtelgebirge mountains, an area known for its nature and sporting activities. The Jean Paul Hiking Trail, for example, takes literature lovers along a route dotted with quotes by the famous Romantic poet and leads them through the places that played a special role in his life.
Lynx, wood grouse and black woodpeckers can be observed in this unspoilt natural environment, as can the striking white blooms of the Arctic starflower, a rare plant that is typical of this region. Visitors with an interest in natural sciences can take a journey into the earth's geological past in the Fichtelgebirge mountains, Germany's most important medieval mining region. Europe's largest rock labyrinth near Wunsiedel is a striking reminder of this distinctive history and is a unique adventure for all the family.
Culture vultures can visit Bayreuth and Wunsiedel to see the acclaimed Wagner and Luisenburg festivals and can also find out about Bayreuth's musical history by taking a guided tour of the Margravial Opera House. The historical development of the region is brought to life in the Fichtelgebirgsmuseum Wunsiedel or in the Kappl Pilgrimage Church in Waldsassen. In particular, the Fichtelgebirge mountains region owes its economic significance to its centuries-old tradition of porcelain manufacturing. The Porzellanikon porcelain museum in Selb tells visitors about the region's long tradition of porcelain making and is a highlight of the Porcelain Route.
