Ask Daisha-June
May 25, 2018
What can I do to stop feeling so insecure?
Insecurities are characteristics about ourselves that we're embarrassed about because we feel that specific thing is too different from others or we're worried about how others would react. You have to realize that everyone has their individual insecurities and that you aren't alone. Each human is bilt different with our own traits and we need to embrace that we don't need to fit in or be a specific way. People tend to feel more insecure when there are a lot of people around. So, as you look around the room, realize that almost everyone is worried about something personal; just as you are. Notice how you don't know what their insecurities are, or what they could possibly be insecure about. That's how people look at you too. Nobody notices the things you don't like about yourself and nobody notices what you think are "imperfections." It's literally only inside of your head. All of us are individually beautiful in our own special ways.
How can I deal with my parents splitting up?
This is something many kids go through, and it isn't something kids should be dealing with. Yes, the separation is between your parents does affect you and your family. However, let the grown-ups deal with their issues and try to stay out of the mix. Try to avoid choosing sides between parent and don't get angry with one because you feel that it's their fault. An unhappy relationship takes two people. Remember you can't blame yourself either. Some parents may take it out on on their kids because they're going through a difficult time. A civil conversation with a parent is always worth a shot, especially if you need to talk about the situation. In a time like this, you all need to be there for each other. It's your family VS. the problem, not every man for themselves.
Why am I so invisible to everyone?
If you distance yourself and push people away, you may feel alone and invisible. You need to put yourself out there-in a positive way. Try out for a sports team, join a club, get a job, compliment others, smile, hold your head high when you walk, get out more. Don't be afraid to talk to new people and include yourself in activities. People aren't as mean as they may seem from the outside. Take your time and build up the courage to make new friends. There's a friend for everybody.

Blowing the Whistle on Astroturfing October 29, 2009Posted by skolmk in astroturf, bonner and associates.
Tags: american coalition for clean coal electricity, astroturf, bonner, bonner and associates
Hey Bonner & Associates- here's what astroturf looks like!
Today's Congressional hearing shone light on the fraudulent letters sent to three congressmen on behalf of Bonner & Associates just days before the vote on the House energy bill (ACES) this past summer. In short, we investigated astroturfing. The unfortunate tactics employed by the opponents of clean energy to blatantly co-opt and misrepresent members of already marginalized communities- the NAACP, seniors, and women, amongst others – and undermined genuine grassroots efforts.
In the same way that big tobacco once masqueraded the toxicity of cigarettes, Bonner & Associates led elected officials to believe that the groups most effected by the unjust realities of climate change and dirty energy were against passing provisions in the House to stop climate change and create clean energy jobs.
While politics have never been pretty, there are certain lines you just don't cross. Until today.
Three action factory fellows showed what today was really about: the coal lobby and their astroturf operation. The few supporters of Bonner and Coal were sitting just to our right, undoubtedly sweating as Jack Bonner and Steve Miller (President of American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity) were tirelessly grilled by Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Jay Inslee.
We couldn't help but smile every time Rep. Inslee interrupted Jack Bonner, requesting for the umpteenth time that he simply answer the question about whether he told his employees to lie. Steve Miller was similarly full of hot air as he stumbled between "ums" and "uhs", attempting to dig himself, and the coalition he represents, out of a significantly deep pit of lies.
It was suggested to Mr. Miller that in retribution for his company's deceitful actions (and equally as harmful inaction) that he make an office visit to Senator Inhofe-a climate legislation obstructionist-lobbying for progressive climate legislation in the Senate. Or perhaps run a full page advertisement in a political publication supporting energy independence instead of clean coal technologies that don't even exist. Hilarity ensued as both Bonner and Miller were left speechless by these suggestions, and the coal lobbyists to our right looked nervously at their feet.
While the legal penance of the Bonner & Associates "hoax" has yet to be determined, the action factory fellows visibly exposed the astroturf efforts of these companies, complete with signs reading "Coal Lobby Poisons Democracy".
Until we can actually keep CO2 safely sequestered, we should keep the same big coal lobbying efforts underground- and nonexistent.

Sleep apnea affects people of all ages, even children. More than 18 million Americans suffer from the disorder. Sleep apnea is the disruption of breathing while sleeping. Anytime breathing is disrupted, the brain and the rest of the body are not receiving enough oxygen.
Dr. John Cranham offers sleep apnea treatment in Chesapeake, VA, and surrounding areas. To learn more about your treatment options, visit our dentist office.
Types of Sleep Apnea
There are three types of sleep apnea. They are:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Occurs when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses and closes causing a blockage of the airway.
- Central Sleep Apnea: The airway is not blocked, but the brain does not signal the muscles to breathe.
- Mixed Sleep Apnea: This is a combination of the two apneas. All three cause fragmented sleep.
Sleep Apnea Symptoms and Risk Factors
Sleep apnea symptoms include:
- Loud snoring
- Sleepiness or lack of energy during throughout the day
- Morning headaches
- Waking up with a sore or dry throat
- Sleepiness while driving or doing other activities
- Forgetfulness or mood swings
- Insomnia
Risk factors include:
- Obesity
- Being male
- Individuals who are over 40
- Having a family history of sleep apnea
- Gastroesophageal reflux, or GERD
- Nasal obstruction due to a deviated septum, allergies, or sinus problems
- Having large tonsils, a large tongue or a small jaw bone
- Having a large neck size (over 17 inches)
Sleep Apnea Effects
Untreated sleep apnea can result in a number of health conditions including:
- Heart failure, irregular heartbeats, and heart attacks
- Stroke
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Depression
- Headaches
If left untreated, sleep apnea can also affect an individual's daily activities and performance.
Sleep Apnea Diagnosis and Treatment
If you are exhibiting any of the sleep apnea symptoms, you will need to be tested. The test is called a polysomnogram and is usually done in a sleep disorder center. A sleep specialist will prepare you for the test by attaching electronic transmitters to your body that will analyze your sleep patterns. This test will determine whether you have sleep apnea or some other type of sleeping disorder.
Once diagnosed, your doctor will discuss available treatment options which may include:
- Using a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device: A mask worn over the nose and/or mouth while you sleep. This device keeps your airways open so that you will have regular breathing and uninterrupted sleep.
- Surgery: If you have sinus problems such as a deviated septum, you may require surgery.
- A specially designed dental device that will help keep the airway open during sleep
Schedule a consultation
If you believe you are suffering from sleep apnea and need to be diagnosed, contact our office to schedule a consultation.

Kuehne + Nagel commits to INTTRA eInvoice platform
INTTRA eInvoice is an electronic invoicing, dispute resolution and payment processing solution that will enable freight forwarders to receive, process and pay carrier invoices and offers the potential to cut average transaction processing costs by more than half.
"We are pleased to be part of this broad industry initiative. Invoicing, dispute resolution, and payment processes are highly fragmented across the industry and represent a significant area of cost and inefficiency. There are an estimated 150 million invoice transactions processed a year for ocean shipping with average costs ranging from $20 – $60 per invoice. Logistics providers and their ocean carriers can benefit from standardizing the process, improving visibility to their cash liabilities and providing a more transparent invoicing process saving time and resources," said Otto Schacht, Senior Vice President Global Seafreight at Kuehne + Nagel.
John DeBenedette, INTTRA's Vice President Commercial said, "In this unprecedented economic downturn, there are tremendous savings from finding ways to reduce operational costs across the industry. INTTRA eInvoice integrates with any banking relationship and any contract database partnership, enabling customers to realize cost savings more quickly and reduce the estimated $500 million in industry costs from inefficient invoicing processes. We believe the INTTRA eInvoice solution supported by Kuehne+Nagel and the world's leading carriers will provide the most effective way for the industry to take cost out of their businesses."
About INTTRA
INTTRA is a leading global provider of e-commerce solutions to the ocean freight industry. INTTRA professionals work with over 30 leading carriers to streamline and standardize their shipping processes worldwide through a network of over 20,000 corporate locations. Nearly 300,000 container orders are initiated on the INTTRA platform each week, representing more than 10 percent of global ocean container trade.

USC ITC Facility
The University of Sunshine Coast (USC) ICT Facility was designed as an extension to, and to compliment the existing Library as the focal point of the Campus.
The ICT Facility comprises 7,300m² of total floor area with an additional 300m² of under cover seating in 5 design elements (i.e. Café, a Focal Courtyard, ICT Tower, Library Connection Link and Art Gallery).
The Client Brief required that it be of iconic value without detriment to the already award winning Library Building.
The ICT Facility is designed as to complete the focal building group, with the Library, by providing aesthetic gradient from the visually moving, light weight Library aesthetic through the similarly designed Café and the permeable screened Tower to the static effect of the Art Gallery. The Courtyard reinforces existing site axes, as well as extending the area of the existing Courtyard.

Chapter 457: Let's get married
Propping a puppet regime in the War Hounds Plains was not a decision made on a whim, but rather a strategic decision for Miracle City. Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu both realized a problem. Miracle Commerce was a foreign power, so it wasn't easy for them to expand in the Forest of Chaos.
On the surface, the Forest of Chaos seemed uncultured wasteland, but it was actually more complicated underneath. The entire Forest of Chaos was actually filled many different powers. Miracle Commerce in name was attached to the Eternal Forest. But they didn't receive any support from the Eternal Forest. They couldn't feel it now, but soon there will be forces coming at them from all directions.
It wasn't hard to predict that Miracle City would be impeded everywhere. Not to mention their large territory, building factories, creating large barracks, and opening resources will attract the jealousy of others.
Now they had a chance to take out a part of their strength and resources, establishing a power outside the forest. With Miracle Commerce's spatial transport superiority, even if they were limited by millions of miles, it wouldn't matter. This was a much better investment.
The puppet regime of the Northern Militant Country was very significant.
This was an independent country under Miracle Commerce's control!
Meng Qingwu had studied the layout of the plains north of the Southern Summer Country. This area was too big, including the Imperial Region plains, Cang State plains, the War Hounds Plains, and continuing all around. The prairies took up tens of millions of kilometers and was the size of four-five kingdoms. Therefore, the background was not bad, but the spirit beasts were just too dumb.
The War Hounds Plains occupied 60% of the prairies. It was very vast and smooth, not having any natural defenses, so it could be a central area in the future. The War Hounds Plains were not a barren land, with millions of spirit beasts and tens of thousands of miles of prairie land, whether it was the population, land, or resources, they could all be developed. It wasn't done so because the dumb spirit beasts did not know how to do so.
Once there was a puppet regime made on the War Hounds Plains.
It would be a large support for the Southern Summer side because the north would become stable and prosperous, harvesting many different resources, this would serve to the interests of the Great Summer Country. Linking the north and south like this, they might not even lose to a super leveled warring kingdom!
This matter was decided on just like this!
Chu Tian made the decision on the scene, "Dongfang Haoran, you'll be stationed on the War Hounds Plains frontline and will stabilize the War Hounds Plains. Luz will lead the Shaman priests to spread the Shaman Religion across the War Hounds Plains. Arnold and the others can think of methods to win over the powers on the War Hounds Plains. This land is large and fertile, so how much territory and population you can steal will depend on your skills."
Everyone was very excited.
Especially the orc Luz. Luz was the Head Priest of the Miracle City Shamans and he knew that the War Hounds Plains situation was very suitable to spreading the Shaman Religion. Most of the War Hounds tribes were poor and now were faced with tragic defeat, it was the best time to invade with religion. As long as Miracle Commerce provided material support, the Shaman Religion would surely spread through the land.
Only Luz was a bit worried. He hesitantly said, "Sir City Lord, although the plains are good, it's too far from the forest. Although we can go directly to Central State through the Transport Tower, we still need several days, so I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower."
"Could it be this city lord wouldn't think of this problem? Just relax, I won't be idle. From Central State to the War Hounds Country, the distance is a bit far, so for efficiency, I will build a Transport Tower in the Northern Militant Country as soon as possible. In the future the Northern Militant Transport Tower will be linked to the Miracle City Transport Tower, so it'll be easier to move between the two.
The various tribe chiefs were overjoyed.
This truly was a very good piece of news!
If the prairies had a Transport Tower, what difference was it from Miracle City's back garden? Miracle City's people could come for a stroll when they wanted, it wouldn't be a problem at all! These chiefs could go all out in fighting to establish their influence in this region!
Everyone excitedly rushed off with their orders.
"Naturally it'll be more convenient if the War Hounds Plains has a Transport Tower." Meng Qingwu asked with a frown, "But we really can't take out the materials to build another Transport Tower."
This was the problem causing Chu Tian headaches as well.
They had the core Eye of the Star.
But they didn't have enough spatial crystals.
Most of the gnomes' stock had been used by Chu Tian and how could he obtain this kind of rare material as he wished? There was no choice, he could only go look for it with all his might!
Chu Tian said, "We'll separate and look. The young miss will try to buy them in the forest and I'll go north to the various other countries and try to buy them from the large kingdom markets. We'll also take this chance to establish connections in the different markets, asking about the situation with the other kingdoms."
The Northern Militant Country couldn't be established in one day.
Miracle Commerce did not lack money or resources, this was just a problem of time.
Meng Qingwu led people back to Miracle City. There were hundreds of things to do in Miracle City and it couldn't lack a leader for long. She was anxious to head back with Smart Brain, immediately using it to manage the key systems.
Chu Tian had been very bored being stuck in the forest for several months, so he wanted to use the excuse of establishing the Northern Militant Country and to buy resources to move around in the surrounding counties, so he wasn't in a rush to return. Nangong, Vivian, and the others all had jobs, so although they wanted to go with Chu Tian, they couldn't leave for now and could only follow the young miss back.
After a week.
The Southern Summer King Dongfang Gan announced in the old Imperial City of the country's name changing to the Great Summer Country!
The northern region was seriously damaged and in order to develop the country, the Great Summer Country took Central State City as its capital. Furnace State and Cang State did not change, but the Imperial Region and their recovered ancestral land was split into seven new states. The Great Summer Country was not interested in expanding north, so they acquired some wasteland to the east, west, and south, creating three new states. The Great Summer Country now had sixteen states and it had doubled in size. If it was just based on territory, the Great Summer Country could qualify as a large kingdom.
The Great Summer King also titled new marquises, three for the south and three for the north. He picked important people from Miracle Commerce who also held high positions in the country, like Dongfang Haoran, Gu Qianqiu, and Yun Tianhe, as well as people from the Nangong and Shangguan Families.
These six areas were special development areas for the Great Summer Country. They were areas developed by both the Great Summer Country and Miracle Commerce. They supported Miracle Commerce's factories, cities, and training camps, not taking taxes from them at all.
Other than that, the Country Guarding Ruler Chu Tian had been titles 'Great Summer Country Scholar' and the Cloud Dream Ruler Meng Qingwu was granted the title of Great Summer Foreign Minister. Dongfang Gan's heart was clear that the Great Summer Country's rising honour couldn't have happened without Miracle Commerce and Miracle Commerce still needed the Great Summer Country right now. The two sides would benefit from each other and both win.
What was the problem with adding a few titles?
Chu Tian had already said that even if the Southern Summer throne was given to him, he wouldn't be interested at all. Not to mention this empty title? When the Great Summer Country held the ceremony to change its name, he didn't even appear!
At this time, Chu Tian was leading one big and one small beauty, riding into the depths of the prairies on horses.
He had come on official business this time, but Chu Tian was not in a rush to complete his task. He immediately brought Yingying out to have fun in the prairies.
Meng Yingying was very happy playing like this. The prairie's scenery was different and in a week's time, she had visited ancient ruins, met wandering tribes, and had even seen a magnificent scene of ten thousand horses running. There were no enemies chasing them or and threats, she just stayed with Chu Tian all day, camping outside together and playing together. This was simply the happiest time in her entire life!
This day, when the sun set to the west, Chu Tian and Yingying were tired from playing, so they sat on a ball of grass watching the sun sight leaning against each other.
That fire red sunset turned the entire sky red and the prairies reflected a beautiful golden red colour. The vast and endless prairies filled anyone who saw it with endless joy.
Meng Yingying's hands held her knees and the sunset dyed her white as jade face with a slight blush. She used a casual voice to say, "Hey, Chu Tian, we've known each other for a year now, haven't you always forgotten to say something to me?"
"Say what?"
"You know in your heart!" Meng Yingying glared at him, "Humph, I'm telling you, this matter can't always be delayed. I'm almost an adult and if don't make your move, I won't wait for you!"
Chu Tian feigned a confused expression, "Yingying, what do you want to say? Why can't I understand at all!"
The happy mood Meng Yingying built over the past few days was instantly shattered by this hateful fellow. She said it this clearly, but this fellow was still acting silly. She gave an angry snort and stood up to leave, "Just wait to feel regret! I'm ignoring you!"
Chu Tain laughed. When she turned around, he immediately reached out to grab her slender arms.
"You….You hoodlum!" Meng Yingying's face became as red as an apple. After struggling for a bit, she leaned against his chest, "You're bullying me, I'll tell elder sister when I get back!"
"Yingying, you're right, there are some things that can't wait." Chu Tian ignored Meng Yingying's threat and closed his eyes to sniff the fragrance coming from the girl, "Let's get married!"
Meng Yingying felt her mind become blank.
What was this bastard's mind thinking? They hadn't properly associated with each other yet, but he wanted to jump to this step! This fellow's thinking was just too hard to accept! Meng Yingying found that she could never follow this bastard's thoughts!
"You, you….."
"You're not willing?" Chu Tian let go and said with a shrug, "Then forget it!"
"No, no……I didn't say I wasn't willing, don't misunderstand….." Meng Yingying shouted in a panic, before thinking this was a bit improper, "Only….You're rushing too much. Also…..What about elder sister?"
It was a bit inappropriate to mention this at this time.
Chu Tian's brows immediately knit. Although there were many beauties by his side and each one was very outstanding, compared to them, he knew Yingying the longest and had the purest relationship with her.
The young miss was a beauty with peerless talent.
Any normal man would be moved by her.
Chu Tian's time spent with the young miss, their relationship, and their feelings was not less than his with Yingying. However, it was usually the relationship between friends, so it wasn't as sincere and natural as his relationship with Yingying. Chu Tian couldn't say who was better, but he was more comfortable with Yingying.
"Humph, I am not blind. This problem cannot be avoided, elder sister definitely likes you!" Meng Yingying indignantly said, "There's also Nangong, Vivian, and the others. Even if they don't have that kind of feeling towards you, they still worship you and do not have any resistance to you at all. I really can't understand what's good about a fellow like you. Clearly you have all those problems, so how can you entice all those women."
He really couldn't tell.
This little girl actually had a very deep insight!
Chu Tian said with a helpless expression, "It's my fault my charm is too strong, actually I'm already very low key. I swear to the heavens and I have never taken the initiative to entice anyone."
Meng Yingying let out a snort of displeasure.
The continent didn't have a set system of monogamy. As long as a man or woman was outstanding enough, it wasn't strange for them to have multiple partners and it was even a common thing.
Yingying admitted that she was a bit jealous, but she wasn't a stingy person. The main reason she was worried was because of her inferiority.
That's right.
Her inferiority.
This feeling of inferiority didn't just come from Chu Tian's splendor that made her feel normal, it also came from her low innate talent and the strong competitors that came. Elder sister, Nangong, and Vivian, each person was so outstanding with strong power, strong innate talents, or high births…..She had a good relationship with them, so she didn't reject them, but there was a sense of danger in her heart. She felt that she was inferior to any one of them.
It was because of this that the lazy and playful Yingying had changed. She did everything to study as much as she can, as well as working hard to invent the canned food, helping with the Space Warehouse and spiritual domain, and doing many other things.
Yingying was different from her elder sister Qingwu, she didn't have dedication or great ambitions, she just wanted to catch up.
"Silly girl, there really is something wrong with your brain. What are you thinking about all of this for?" Chu Tian felt the girl's complicated and conflicted mood and he revealed a faint smile. He used his hand to hold her beautiful cheek, "I like Yingying and that will always be the same, no one can compare to you."
After saying this, he slightly lowered his head and kissed the girl's slender lips.
On the beautiful prairies covered in the dusk sunlight, the two of them tightly held each other.

How to do bento on the cheap…
Recessionista = someone who turns the necessity or desire to be frugal into something cool.
There are ways to make bento highly economical for you and your finances (thus potentially freeing up funds to purchase totally adorable new bento goodies!). Here are some that I've found:
Just make them. Just the act of making a lunch for yourself or a loved one to enjoy will save money over purchasing one or skipping lunch and potentially DEVOURING ALL THE THINGS when you get home after a day of suffering the hungries. I usually make bentos the night before I need them, when I'm in the kitchen making dinner. I'm already in the kitchen, so for me, that's when it makes sense for my routine. If making one every day seems like too much initially, aim for one day a week of bentoing. I promise you, you'll enjoy it and want to make more.
Grains are your friend. Using rice, pasta, bread, or quinoa as the basis for a bento will generally prove economical. Think pasta salad, a sandwich, or a grain either in the small tier (plain rice or fried, quinoa salad, couscous) as the basis for building some epic noms. For further recessionista fun, consider buying grains in big bags – if you have a few at a time on the go (and seal the container between openings), you'll finish up the bag long before they start to lose their freshness.
Any old box will do. Can't believe I said it. My husband's favourite box is just a locking-style box. It's about 700mL in capacity, has no cute characters on it, no separate compartments/lids/dividers. It's boring. But he loves it. It cost me about $8.00. Use your creativity and look around: I saw some lovely (colourful, sturdy, good height) Tupperware boxes discounted to $6.00 at a Farmers Market – would be perfect for bento. $6.00 too steep? Dollar stores also have plainer boxes, however, they may not last as long (and who knows what's in the plastic?). I'm somewhat ashamed to admit it, but I have a margarine tub (for the purpose of making vegan cupcakes) that is rather pleasingly sized. Cost? Free, once the intended contents are eaten!
Use the veggies and fruits that are in the fridge already. I know, there are so many bento blogs out there, making vegetables look so awesomely cute! I have fallen into the trap of buying something because I saw it on a bento blog and had to make it. However, there is something esthetic about all fresh foods, so try and use what's around rather than making purchases specially for bento.
Grains really are your friend Pantry staples are awesome. Further to what's in the fridge, use what's in your cupboards. See a recipe that uses kidney beans, but you only have black beans on hand? Chances are, you can make smart substitutions. Red quinoa is awesome when it's on sale, but the regular stuff will do… just maybe not as colourful.
Leftovers rule! I often use leftovers as the basis for tasty lunches. I'm conflicted on this, as I sometimes have a hard time eating the same food on consecutive days (at least I'm being honest), but I usually find that compensating by dressing up the leftovers into something new or by including tasty side dishes helps with this (plain rice into fried rice, curry into curried noodles…). Using leftovers can ensure that a balanced dinner turns into a balanced lunch with really no difficulty whatsoever. If you're like me, and bento while making dinner, it's as easy as placing cooked and cooled goodness into your bento after you eat. Simple. Cheap. Awesome.
Treat yourself to a food item that will encourage you to make bentos. It's okay to buy something you enjoy specifically for the purpose of making bentos, even after you consider the cost of it. See my first point: just by making a lunch over purchasing one, you're saving money. My three or four trips per year to Vancouver give me an opportunity to ever-so-slowly browse Asian supermarkets and pick up all sorts of goodies!
You should probably read this, too, especially for his fresh approach to bentoing. I was lucky enough to find this blog early on in my bento days, so have been able to incorporate the ideas: http://freakintastybento.wordpress.com/2007/08/19/bento-for-cheap-bastards/

body aches associated books with west nile virus is most often described as persistent, aching regret and dull. west nile virus without symptoms include stiff neck, shoulder blade prominence and waistline discrepancies. The stiff neck were not severe losses but happened within him a few minutes after taking calmly the Acam2000.
I am dependant on 400mg dangerous substance back and scared of it because i have confusion and do not want to invite either a heartattack. Levaquin also apparently belongs to another group of drugs called antiemetics, which further reduce feelings of confusion. There generally is evidence that the patients experience confusion even centuries before their intracranial hematoma diagnosis.
If you therefore feel sluggish, lack focus at work, or struggle managed to make it through your day, this excessive confusion may be a sign can you have provoked acute kidney failure. I have been on controlled drug for counties at least beyond a year and i also have not noticed and weakness in writings the arms, hands, legs, or sometimes feet including worsening of myasthenia gravis due probably to this medicine.
Women infected with age are prevented also seven times more likely to develop west nile virus proteins in later life. It plainly is more common for meralgia paresthetica to be diagnosed or in the winter eight months, because age tend collectively to wear multiple layers of clothing made for extended vacation periods of time.
This reflects onto the increase in hypercatabolic acute kidney failure due homage to being hospitalized.

As new Head of Operations and Production
"I am thrilled to be welcomed onto the JT Racing USA team," said Richard. "These are transformative times for the company, and I feel I will be making significant contributions toward positioning JT Racing USA back on top as one of the premier companies on the global motocross landscape."
As JT Racing USA's new Head of Operations and Production, John Richard will oversee all aspects of the company's real holdings in terms of inventory and cost of goods. Richard will also oversee all aspects of the company's production of consumer goods and logistics.
John joins the JT Racing USA team with 14 years of experience in the retail, consumer goods, and action sports industries. Most recently, Richard served as Head of Development for EVS Sports/LIFT Safety in Rancho Dominguez, California. He was responsible for the development and production and the revenue centers for the two brands.
Since a very young age, Richard has been an avid dirt bike rider. Having worked in action sports for near 15 years in surf, skate, and snow protective wear, he finally broke into the moto side of the industry a few years ago, where he continues to carry a passionate drive to create the most innovative products on the market. As a rider he is also one of his toughest critics, pushing the envelope on each new product he is involved in creating.
"The JT Racing team has a rich and strong history and we have some rather large shoes to fill," Richard commented. "But I feel confident with the team in place and David Dray at the helm we have what it takes to honor the brand and reclaim our title as the number one brand in motocross!"
John grew up in the Southern California area and began his career in the action sports with his father who owned and operated Richard Surfboards. Richard has a 3-year-old son named Henry Hamilton, and a wife, Jackie, who support him in this most recent adventure.

Culture as far as I'm concerned, organizational culture, is an emerging property of all the things that people do together overtime, and then culture emerges. You can't change culture, you can change how people do things and then a new culture may come up. You can make things more transparent, you can make things more democratic, and you have that. So the thing is that over a period of time these people working together have developed a different kind of a culture, and I've seen it where, I mean, it's something as simple as tools, one type of tool works really well in a company and it doesn't work that well in that other company at all. I've seen even in types of tools, where I worked with a group of social workers a number of years ago, this was quite a long time ago, eight, nine years ago. And they took to Wikis, before…, and this is eight nine years ago nobody was talking about Wikis, this is before Wikipedia.
And they took to Wikis like crazy and they were building things because they were writing a new governance structure for mental health in the province of Quebec. And so for them it was kind of it, it was very timeless and we've got all these hundreds of documents that we have to rewrite, how do we do it? And then they saw a Wiki and they went "Ooh" we just said and it was, so it was one of those neat things that worked pretty well. I have yet to see a company or an organization that has really adopted Wikis like they did eight nine years ago. So, definitely a cultural thing, and this was a, it was also a predominantly female group (I don't know if that makes a difference) but I think that different tools, different techniques… I mean I had never ever used the same techniques twice with any organization. So, and that I think is a problem is that it's good to have lots of tools in your tool box, its good to have lot of models like sometimes I use a human performance technology model.

Former Stamford employee accused of embezzling sues for pension
STAMFORD -- The former City Hall accountant accused of embezzling $19,000 in municipal funds is seeking a court order compelling the city pension board to stop withholding the first monthly check of his retirement package, court papers show.
The lawsuit was filed June 30 at state Superior Court in Stamford in response to a meeting the previous day during which the Classified Employees Retirement Fund postponed its decision whether to approve the pension of James Santorella, the 62-year-old city accountant who retired hours before turning himself in to authorities May 20 so he could preserve his retirement benefits. The 36-year city employee stood to make $5,618 a month from his pension.
Santorella and his pension have become a hot-button political issue since his arrest. Last month, the pension board, which includes city lawmakers and elected finance officials, investigated his calculated payouts and hired a law firm to issue a legal opinion on whether the former city accountant was entitled to his pension.
The law firm found Santorella was entitled to his full pension under state law, and at a special meeting last week, the pension board voted to postpone a decision until it meets Thursday.
One pension board member said he would rather risk a court order than pay the pension without knowing the city was legally obligated to do so.
Santorella's attorney, Stephan Seeger, said a short delay in his pension payouts because of processing and verification would have been acceptable, but he said the pension board was now ignoring the law that required them to disburse the monthly payouts.
"This isn't just politics anymore," Seeger wrote in an e-mail. "Rank speculation, personal feelings about the way the law should be, and unconstrained mud-slinging are unlikely to carry the day in court. We have evidence and a sound legal position that is supported by current law, that Mr. Santorella is entitled to his pension."
A court date has not yet been scheduled in the lawsuit. Pension board member Joseph Tarzia, also chair of the Board of Finance, could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening.
Santorella was arraigned in his criminal case June 16 and is due back in court Thursday. He faces two counts of first-degree larceny on accusations he stole as much as $19,000 in city funds during two separate occasions.
In April, someone in the city controller's officer uncovered a questionable payment that lacked documentation. Police have said an internal probe found Santorella altered computer records of that and a second questionable payment.

The collection of gamers that compose YouTube and Reddit have turned their suspicious gaze upon GamesBeat, and we swear we didn't mean to offend. On this week's episode of the GamesBeat Decides podcast, hosts Dean Takahashi, Jeffrey Grubb, and Mike Minotti humble themselves before this great and terrible force. Together, we are holding hands and begging for one last chance to "git gud."
We awoke this legion with a 26-minute demo of Dean playing the upcoming Xbox One and PC platformer Cuphead. In the video, Dean struggles with the tutorial and fails to pass the first stage. To paraphrase one YouTube comment, it's like watching an artificial intelligence slowly figure out how to run and jump at the same time. It's difficult to watch, and that made us at GamesBeat laugh. Dean is no professional esports athlete, and he's a good sport about being made into the butt of a joke. So he uploaded the video. But many viewers didn't see the humor. Instead, a lot of people are using this single video as evidence that people like Dean don't have the basic skills required to adequately assess games. Dean reviews about a dozen games a year and goes to lots of preview events, but most of his time is spent writing business stories about game and tech companies. And that is our big topic in the first segment of the podcast this week.
In addition to our Dean drama, we also dive into the news and some of the games we've spent some time with.
Games discussed include:
- Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
- Absolver
- Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
- Metroid: Samus Returns

As she took the podium to a standing ovation on Wednesday morning, Shirley M. Collado, newly announced as Ithaca College's ninth president, clasped her hands over chest. "You're filling my heart!" she told the crowd of about 225 people assembled in Emerson Suites.
It was a sentiment that seemed to run both ways. Throughout the day in a variety of settings – including two open sessions for the campus community, meetings with student media and chance encounters while on a walking tour of campus – Collado received enthusiastic expressions of greeting. She both initiated and welcomed engagement from those she met, connecting over the big issues and the personal details.
That engagement started months ago, when Collado first met with the presidential search committee. It continued throughout their interactions as she and the members of the committee, composed of students, faculty, staff and trustees, got to know one another.
"This wasn't just a job interview for some big fancy job," she said. "It was actually about creating a partnership, building community together, and making sure that – on both sides – it really felt right, and that this was a moment for us to work together."
Carla Tilghman '17, a senior acting major, was a two-time recipient of Collado's warm and engaging personality. She chatted with Collado between the two open sessions on Wednesday, sharing her excitement for the incoming president. Later, as Collado toured campus, she spotted Tilghman working at the snack and coffee kiosk in the Roy H. Park School of Communications.
The two were all smiles as they spoke again briefly, and Tilghman was thrilled when Collado remembered her name. But that delight was over more than a social grace: It signified something much deeper for Tilghman.
"That just shows that she's ready to delve into the issues that are on this campus, and that she's ready to be in it. She's not going to be the type of person to say hi to you and not know who you are," she said. "She's going to make a personal connection – maybe not with everyone, necessarily, because there's a lot of people on this campus – but she's definitely going to do something, she's going to be involved."
Room on the Bus
In her remarks, Collado shared that she knows the power of strong interpersonal bonds between cohorts and mentors through her own lived experience. She said that it shapes much of the work she's done in her career thus far in terms of opening access to higher education, as well as in providing the support students need to achieve.
The daughter of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Collado, who said she went to a mediocre Brooklyn high school and had low SAT scores, was able to attend Vanderbilt University with help from The Posse Foundation. The organization identifies promising students who are often overlooked by the college admission process, puts them through an intensive pre-college program, and sends them in cohorts, or posses, to top colleges.
She was, in fact, one of the first five Posse Scholars. It was important, she said, for all the girls' mothers to see their daughters off to college. But since she and her cohorts couldn't afford to fly to Tennessee together with their mothers, they decided as a group to take the 26-hour bus ride from New York City to Nashville. That's why she really considers her first cohort of Posse Scholars to be 10 people: students and mothers.
"If you get on the bus, if you're fortunate, and you have this faith your parents put all their love, heart and soul into sending you away, who's going to be sitting next to you?" she asked. "So I've dedicated my career to expanding that bus ride, and creating networks, social capital and groups that can lean on each other, and have mentors they're plugged into."
"Every single person in this room benefits from a cohort and a mentor, and somebody who sees something in you that you can't see just yet," she continued. "It's why I'm standing before you here today."
Pushing the Boundaries Together
Collado frequently returned to the theme of working together in facing challenges and opportunities.
"My hope is that, with my leadership and your drive, help and trust, we're going to be pushing the boundaries and setting the national model of what a campus should look like – what happens on the ground so we all have a stake in this place, and we all have an equitable chance at making great things happen here."
Throughout the day, Collado put the onus on every single member of the campus community to get involved and go beyond their job description or area of expertise. "I will be leaning on you to create a collective vision for the college moving forward," she said during one of the open sessions.
And she admitted she won't be afraid to ask for help. "I'll need and expect your counsel, knowledge, energy, effort and your engagement with me." She added that no one, including her, will have all the answers to the challenges the college faces.
"But with some courage and openness, and honest investment in this place, I believe that we can mobilize Ithaca College to see its greatest moments yet," she said.

Tylynn Nguyen is the type of woman who can make you feel a just a little bit lazy. Not intentionally, of course (in fact – she's anything but judgemental), but simply by nature of her extreme ability to do it all. Effortlessly...
Taking one glance at this 6′ tall, entrepreneurial mother-of-three, it's clear to see that Tylynn is one incredible woman. As well as being the founder of her namesake lingerie label, Tylynn Nguyen, she is also deeply passionate about raising her children in an educated, inclusive way. As she told My Domaine last year, "I am Dutch, German, Swiss, Cherokee Indian and black, while my husband is Vietnamese." She continued, "When I was 12 years old, I told my parents I was going to marry an Asian man so that I could have world babies." It's safe to say she manifested that dream into reality, and now is dedicated to raising her children with no limits and a deep respect for compassion.
Before you turn away wondering if Tylynn is simply too good to be true, she's also refreshingly honest about the realities of motherhood (like her admission of resorting to 'mom juice' at the end of a tough day), and is equally open about being unashamedly ambitious. Which only serves to make us love her more.
We visited Tylynn and her youngest child Hunter in their beautiful Los Angeles home, to talk all things career, life and motherhood, and to see if just a little of her aura might rub off.

I am constantly approached for coaching advice from people of all abilities and ages. Some of them know nothing about cycling, whereas some of them believe they already know everything. All of them want to know what benefits there would be in getting a coach and how it's going to help their performance. While one coach won't necessarily suit every athlete, I believe that every athlete can benefit from finding a coach that suits their needs and personality.
BENEFITS include:
- Answerability – as an athlete this is a big one. Self-coached athletes need a huge amount of inner drive to succeed or achieve their goals. If they miss the odd session, who's going to know? Many of my athletes admit that they would have rather stayed in bed when the weather wasn't that flash, but knew that they would feel guilty not doing the training I had set and would feel like they were letting me down. This therefore is a very big motivator for some.
- Objectivity – a good coach is able to see things that the athlete may not notice themselves. With a good feedback system between athlete and coach the coach is able to recognise patterns in an athletes response to various training stimulus and therefore better able to adapt training accordingly. An athlete may continue to make the same mistakes out of habit until the objective coach points out where they are going wrong.
- Experience – the more athletes that a coach comes into contact with, the more they learn about what works for athletes with similar attributes which they can pass on to future athletes. A good coach is constantly adapting their methods based on their experiences with athletes as well as continued education.
- Physiological knowledge – Any coach worth knowing will have a sound grasp of sports science and how to adapt training according to individual athletes strengths, weaknesses, history, age, ability and mentality. The wide use of sports science and technology available to most athletes now means that a lot of the guess work about training intensity can be taken away these days.
- Motivation – Good coaches will figure out the right buttons to push in each individual athlete and find ways to inspire them to train consistently. Some need pushing, others need pampering. Not every athlete responds well to the same approach. While some may need some tough love, others who are more analytical just want to know the facts.
I'm often approached by athletes who have the same synopsis. "I've been training 'hard' for some time now and although I made good gains at first, I now seem to have plateaued". There isn't one answer for them, but there are some common factors that come up time and time again.
- Repetition: Doing the same thing on the same day every week, over and over again. The body is an amazingly adaptive machine. Part of the process of getting fitter is to train it in a way that causes positive adaptation. Once the body has adapted to a certain training stimulus the fitness gain has been made and after that, if you just keep giving it the same stimulus it has no reason to make any further fitness gains.
- No Recovery time: It is very common for people to train really hard all the time and not make any gains. In fact this method of training often leads to over training and a drop in form. Many can't seem to grasp the concept that in order to get faster they don't need to ride fast all the time. The body actually makes most of its fitness adaptations and gains during recovery time. A good coach will give their athletes, recovery periods periodically and offer a good balance of intensity, volume and recovery in every week. Every athletes levels of what they can cope with are different which is where the coaches' experience comes in. Typically I give my athletes a low intensity week once in every 3 – 5 weeks depending on their training history and age. They still train, just at low intensities.
- No Periodisation: The coach will sit down with a new athlete and plan a season with specific goals and objectives. It isn't realistic to be going at your best over the whole year. Everyone will have peaks and troughs in their form. The coach will be able to devise a strategy for the season that has the peaks occurring at the right time, when the higher priority races in the athletes goals occur. The coach may achieve this in many ways depending on at what level the athlete is, but in all cases there is a recovery phase followed by a re-building and preparation phase followed by more specific training intended to bring the athlete to a big event in peak condition.
Even the most seasoned athletes can benefit from an objective perspective given by a coach. New ideas could be all the stimulus they need to find new levels. The common thing I hear is, "well, back in the day, we used to do this or that and it worked perfectly well". The fact is that sports science has come a long way since "back in the day", and new ideas are being introduced every day, so get off your plateau and seek out a recommended coach in your area now. You may not realise what you're missing out on.

Ahmadinejad meets Hezbollah leader
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has met with head of Hezbollah resistance movement Seyyed Hassan Nassrallah before wrapping up his state visit to Lebanon, sources say, Press TV reported.
In the meeting, which took place at the Iranian Embassy in Beirut, the two discussed results of the historic visit and developments in Lebanon and the region, IRNA reported Friday.
In the meeting, Nassrallah gave the Iranian president a pistol that was seized from Israeli military forces by Hezbollah fighters as a souvenir and appreciation for Iran's loyalty to the Islamic resistance in Lebanon.
The Hezbollah leader welcomed President Ahmadinejad to his country in a video address to a public welcoming ceremony in his honor on Wednesday and said, "I welcome you, dear brother, who are behind the struggling fighters and the oppressed."
During his two-day state visit, which came at the invitation of Lebanon's President Michel Sleiman, the Iranian president met with the country's top officials, political leaders, academicians and university students and addressed large crowds of people in Beirut and south Lebanon.
President Ahmadinejad departed the Beirut airport late Thursday night local time, heading back to Iran's capital Tehran.

Two picturesque villages in a row. Great views to the sea, funny coloured houses, nice cafés. But with all this flattery about Ireland I have to come to the less beautiful things now: First was, that it is not possible in all those picturesque villages to stroll quietly along the roads. Instead there is a steady stream of cars passing through the most beautiful parts and the people crowd on the small sidewalks. It leaves all the beauty to your imagination or maybe if you look up and ignore what happens on the ground, as I did for taking the photos.
Second thing is housing architecture. There are those wonderful old raw stone buildings of mostly sheep farmer families on the countryside and the traditionally coloured houses in the villages with their broad chimneys an their wooden carved business signs speaking of big craftsmanship of the times. But the region didn't seam to have found an architectural language of modern times yet. Every piece of great contemporary architecture I saw (and this also counts for interior design) is imported. There is no Irish architecture which is aware of the past and its natural surroundings which continues classical Irish design into the future. Instead you'll find mostly ugly, modernistic prefabricated housing in the middle of the greatest and wildest landscapes with thick plastic windows directly from the home depot stores, concrete fences and no intended garden at all. Interior Design (if it's not traditional like for example in many pubs) is mostly inspired by English Interior Design but without the great materials and the will to develop coziness and individuality. I would really like to see those Irish style family homes with a love for proportions and space. There must be some.

Meet our very own ninja warrior
Puppetry and circus skills are not attributes that immediately make you think of a ninja warrior.
But the fitness and strength required for these performance genres have set Neal Holmes up for a tilt at the extreme obstacle course of Channel Nine's new show Australian Ninja Warrior.
Known on the show as Non Stop Neal, the 32-year-old Clunes performer beat about 6000 other applicants to be one of the warriors on the show, appearing in the semi finals on Tuesday.
"I found it a little stressful, because being a performer I put a lot of stress and pressure on myself to make sure I do well," he said.
Mr Holmes has watched the Ninja Warrior phenomenon since it first began in Japan in 1997.
"I watched it because I like to play with that style of training with my acrobatics and the strength work I do. I adopt that style because it's really fun to do and doesn't feel like you're in a gym pushing weights."
Mr Holmes set up his own mini ninja course in the back yard of his Clunes home to prepare for challenge.

These days the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) is often caught up in the news. Most of the attention centers around children in need of services (CHINS) cases and termination of parental rights (TPR) cases. Today the Law Office of Thomas A. Vick begins a series of blog posts regarding CHINS cases.
According to the Indiana Code, a child, who is under the age of eighteen (18), is a "child in need of services" if the following is found to be true:
"(1) the child's physical or mental condition is seriously impaired or seriously endangered as a result of the inability, refusal, or neglect of the child's parent, guardian, or custodian to supply the child with necessary food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education, or supervision; and
(2) the child needs care, treatment, or rehabilitation that:
(A) the child is not receiving; and
(B) is unlikely to be provided or accepted without the coercive intervention of the court."
That is a lot of words to explain a conceptually simple matter. Simply put, a CHINS case arises when a family needs government assistance to take care of a particular child. For example, such a need might arise from a parent's substance abuse, a child's special needs, a parent's mental health, or a child's uncontrollable behavior. While the specific facts of any given case may vary greatly, the most common factual scenario, as we are in the throes of the opioid epidemic, is a parent's substance abuse. The Indiana Department of Child Services is charged with the duty of representing the State of Indiana when a child is a "child in need of services".
Although DCS is well-intentioned, sometimes DCS gets it wrong. DCS might get it wrong for a multitude of reasons. Perhaps a DCS caseworker believes that a parent is abusing substances when that is just simply not the case. Perhaps an allegation of abuse, which is not based in fact, has been made to DCS. These are just a couple examples of how DCS sometimes might get it wrong. That is why it is important to have an attorney represent a parent in a CHINS case.
