|Jordan Gates
|Cause of Death
Suicide (to protect Kinsey Locke and Jamal Saturday)
you know that. And someday I'm going to send you an
awesome wedding gift. I'm rich, don't'cha know?
–Jordan Gates
Jordan Gates was a student at Lovecraft Academy. She was a romantic interest of Tyler Locke.
Jordan is known among her peers as a "psycho rich bitch who likes to start fires". She has reportedly been thrown out of several different prep schools for her behaviour before finally transferring to Lovecraft Academy.[1] She shared a class with Tyler Locke and Zack Wells.[2]
Head GamesEdit
Jordan first met Tyler Locke when she found him sitting on her motorcycle.[1]
Some time later, Tyler invited Jordan and Zack Wells to Keyhouse to show them that they could use the Head Key to finish their school readings instantly.[2]
When Tyler showed her how it worked (by removing the top of his head), Jordan fled the house, telling Tyler to stay away from her.[3]
Crown of ShadowsEdit
The next week, Jordan was approached by Tyler at the statue of Adam Crais, while she was struggling with an ethics paper. He apologized for scaring her, claiming the Head Key was just a trick. He offered her his own ethics paper, as he had a free pass all semester from the trauma his family had been through. She gave him a kiss on the cheek as thanks.[4]
Jordan received an F on Tyler's paper, and she again yelled at him, telling him to stay away from her.[5]
Keys to the KingdomEdit
Jordan and Tyler eventually make up, and start dating.[6]
One day, Jordan skipped a test, scared she would fail it. Tyler comforted her, offering to help her study for her retest. When he nearly told Jordan that he loved her, she stopped him abruptly, telling him that he did not really know her, or the "lousy things" she was capable of.
She passed the test with Tyler's help,[7] but realizing Tyler was falling for her, she slept with Brinker Martin to drive Tyler away from her.[8]
Jordan was interviewed by Scot Kavanaugh for his video of the graduates. When asked about her regrets, she briefly considered her treatment of Tyler, but maintained that it was for the best, to "let him know right up front what a piece of shit [she is]". Jordan then wished she had done one good deed for someone a day.[9]
On prom night, Jordan reunited with Tyler at the Adam Crais statue, as she prepared to burn her expensive dress to protest her father deciding she would go to Vassar, instead of the school she wanted to attend. She admits to Tyler she slept with Brinker Martin because Tyler was falling for her, and after everything Tyler had been through over the last year, "[she] was not going to add to that...beyond what was necessary to get [him] to back the fuck off". After Tyler confirmed he was over her, the two have sex.
Jordan talked Tyler into going to the party in the Drowning Cave. Jordan headed to the cave immediately, while Tyler returned home to get changed.[8]
When she arrived at the cave, Jordan was approached by Kinsey, who immediately pointed out "that's the problem with having a party in a hole in the ground. You never know what's going to come crawling out from under the rocks." Jordan remained calm, while Jamal Saturday held Kinsey back.
Before anything could escalate, Bode Locke, possessed by Dodge, arrived, and attempted to herd everyone to the lower levels. Jackie Veda realized something was wrong, as the walkway was supposed to be broken. Dodge revealed himself, using the Shadow Crown to break the walkway and pull many of the students below, including Jackie and Brinker. Scot Kavanaugh jumped down after Jackie, leaving Jordan, Kinsey, and Jamal stranded on the remaining section of the walkway. when Kinsey and Jamal were grabbed by the shadows, Jordan used the lantern and her hairspray to free them.[10]
Jackie and Scot soon returned, possessed by demons. They declared that Kinsey, Jamal, or Jordan must die to save the other two, and left it up to the three to make the decision. Jordan volunteered. Kinsey rejects the idea, telling Jordan not to give up. Jordan admits she wished she and Kinsey had been friends, because Kinsey was "a hell of a nice kid", who "would've been good" for Jordan. Jordan again mentions her wish to have done a good deed a day for someone, and Kinsey agreed to start the club with her when they got free.
After saying she was going to start her good deeds, Jordan stepped off the walkway, killing herself.[11]
Jordan's body was seen shortly after by Kinsey Locke and Jamal Saturday. They were taunted by the possessed Scot Kavanaugh, who believed they killed her to save themselves.
When Tyler Locke confronted Dodge, he told Dodge, "I see your crazy and raise. It's the only way to live", a reference to what Jordan told him during their last conversation together.[12]
During the funerals held for the students who died in the Drowning Cave, Tyler briefly spoke with Jordan's father. After hearing her father describe Jordan as "a very open person" with an "inherent glow of happiness", Tyler stole Jordan's motorcycle and drove off.[13]
Similarities with Kim TopherEdit
Jordan shares many similarities with Kim Topher, the high school girlfriend of Tyler Locke's father, Rendell.
- Both girls are beautiful and seemingly shallow, and prone to hurting the people close to them.[14][7]
- They also have both expressed frustration with their families having different plans for their futures than they wanted: Kim's family wanted her to go to Emerson, while she wanted to go to Smith.[14] Similarly, Jordan's father wanted her to go to Vasser, while she wanted to go to the Art Institute of Chicago.[8]
- When asked what he saw in Kim, Rendell responded that: "She can be cruel, sometimes, but...she'd die for any of us. She really would."[15] This was mirrored in Jordan's last conversation with Tyler, when she told him that: "I'd throw myself in front of a train for you, Tyler. I hope you know that."[8]
- They both sacrificed themselves to save others: Kim died saving Duncan,[16] while Jordan died saving Kinsey and Jamal.[11]

Diggins Wins At SUG 2
John Diggins Wins In 59 Seconds At SUG 2Last weekend, the Roseland Theater played host to the second Submission Underground event, in Portland, OR. The event saw household MMA names such as Jon Jones, Dan Henderson and Meisha Tate gracing the main card of a submission grappling event under EBI rules. But headlining the undercard was SBG Portland's very own John Diggins. Coach Diggins was competing in one of the few gi matches on the card against fellow local black belt KC Thompson, and it took less than a minute for the SBG coach to submit his opponent. Pulling guard before sweeping and coming up on top, Diggins quickly rolled into a knee bar and got the tap in a mere 59 seconds. The win wasn't the first time this year that a Diggins has impressed at the Roseland. This July, Amanda Diggins competed in the first Submission Underground event and won in equally emphatic style, tapping her own opponent within the opening minutes via toe hold. Submission Underground, presented by Chael Sonnen and streamed live on flograppling.com, is an exciting development in the ever growing sport of submission grappling, and it is awesome to see two of SBG's finest black belt competitors featuring on the first two cards. That said, with multiple IBJJF world championship medals between them, and two comfortable submission wins to their names at the SUG events, one can only hope it isn't long before we see both of them gracing the main card. Congratulations to Coach John Diggins on his win! The students at SBG Portland couldn't be prouder! As the coach in charge of SBG Portland's BJJ competition team, it is always thrilling to see you leading from the front and diving into any challenge put before you, no matter the stage.

Well I have all sorts of knitting project plans, whether they will come to pass is another thing, if the start of them is anything to go by. Last year I got a cone of lovely beige/cream slub yarn which seems to be linen/cotton mix. It has been sitting in my stash among many others. However while I have about 2/3 of the back done, I realise that my knitted piece is 'leaning' to one side. This has happened to me before, but only when I've attempted to knit with chenille yarns. I am really frustrated with it and don't know whether to proceed or just rip back. I think I'll attempt blocking the piece as it is and see what happens. Any ideas anyone?

Isn't it Maggie Jackson who does all of that diagonally-designed knitting stuff? I'd say incorporate the slant into a new avant garde design! :-) The trick will be to get the other side to do the same!

Hello Ger! I'm your Cocoa swap partner and I'm looking forward to getting to know you a bit through your blog. You've obviously done a better job of it than I did setting mine up - my learning curve is still AWFULLY steep! How's Ravelry going for you? I got my invite, but haven't taken the time to join. Yikes!
And before ripping, I'd try blocking the knitting. At least that way, if you do rip, you will at least know that you did all you could. Happy knitting - your Cocoa Pal

According to him, if you want future homeowners to look your place over and swoon with delight, its no use installing dark green fixtures, wall-to-wall carpeting and a tiny shower in the bathroom. Here, he talks about how to make the most of your new bathroom and get the best upgrades. Whether it is your master bath, the guest bath or a powder room, it is an important part of your home.

When remodeling your bathroom, the first and most important step to take is choosing a contractor in whom you have complete trust.

Analysis: Running for Miss America now looks a lot like running for office
Politics made a brief appearance at the Miss America pageant in September 1969. Most of the finalists faced hard-hitting questions like, "At what age will you marry?" and "What would you do if you didn't like your brother's girlfriend?" But Miss Minnesota was asked whether she thought the United States would ever have a female president, and why would it take so long.
Miss Minnesota made a face and rolled her eyes before offering thoughts like "Men really should operate our country" and "Women tend to be a little bit emotional at times, whereas men can overcome their emotions with logic." She concluded, "So if we do have a woman president I think it will be a while yet."
Even in 1969, this was not the right answer, and Miss Minnesota wound up as fourth runner-up. But she was correct that it would be "a while" -- since her answer, we have been through 12 presidential election cycles, and still no female president.
But the days of softball questions for pageant contestants are long gone. Earlier this week, the top five finalists at the Miss America Pageant all faced politically charged questions on complex current events that forced them to take and defend a stance. Miss Missouri was asked whether President Donald Trump's campaign was guilty of colluding with Russia. Miss Texas had to assess whether all of the protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, really were "very fine people," as Trump had said. Miss New Jersey faced a question about what to do with Confederate statues, and Miss District of Columbia tackled whether legislators should ban full-contact football for elementary-age players given the concussion risk. Miss North Dakota, who took the crown that night, was grilled about the Paris agreement. (She said the United States should not have withdrawn.)
Clearly, what is expected of Miss America has changed. She has for a few decades needed a "platform," or an issue she advocates for as she "runs" for the title of Miss America, and now she must have a defensible opinion on anything and everything. Though some aspects of the pageant are not so different -- contestants still must don swimsuits and evening wear for the judges -- the final interview has become increasingly political, to the point that Miss America is treated as if she were seeking public office instead of a crown. And that interview, which gets the most news coverage, is increasingly defining the competition to the public.
The final question, which the Miss America Organization calls an "opportunity to distinguish awareness of issues relevant to Miss America and young women in today's world," constitutes 20 percent of each contestant's final score. Talent is valued more, at 30 percent of the final score, though rarely does a well-performed aria make headlines. The popular pageant wisdom is that you can't necessarily win with a great final answer, but you can lose with a bad one.
The nature of political final questions at Miss America has evolved. Even as ultra-tough questions emerged, occasional softballs popped up, too. In 2014, one question was whether the United States should intervene in Syria, while others asked about Miley Cyrus and whether wives should stand by their husbands if they cheat. But this year was the first that every finalist was hit with a similarly styled political question. (Interestingly, Miss California's answer on Syria was rather similar to one President Barack Obama had offered.)
Whatever the question, each pageant contestant has only 20 seconds to answer a complex question, not unlike a political debate. Contestants have to be quick on their feet in our sound bite society, just like political candidates hoping their 20-second response lands on cable news.
There's no room for polite dodging anymore, either. Miss America 2012's final question was, "Do you think Miss America should be free to declare her political affiliation?" Miss Wisconsin Laura Kaeppeler replied in the negative because, "Miss America represents everyone." Flash forward to last year, when such a benign platitude became impossible. Miss Arkansas Savvy Shields was asked, "Hillary Rodham Clinton. What do you think?" Miss New York Camille Sims had to answer the same question about Donald Trump.
Unlike in years past, when contestants tried to give answers that wouldn't offend anyone, this year's winner, Cara Mund, knew she had to take a stand when answering her final question. At the post-crowning news conference, she explained: "I wasn't necessarily afraid if my opinion wasn't the opinion of my judges. . . . Miss America needs to have an opinion, and she needs to know what's happening in the current climate."
The Miss America Organization moved in this direction partly to distinguish itself from the competition, Miss USA. Miss USA has always been the sexier cousin to the Miss America pageant, but it became even tawdrier when Donald Trump owned it from 1996 to 2015. (Memorably, the pageant released photos of the contestants in lingerie.) Miss America partly compensated by going heavier on intellectual substance.
Miss America 1990 was the first to have a "platform;" Miss Missouri Debbye Turner won with the issue of youth motivation. The next year, Miss America focused on domestic violence. The platform turned more political in 1993, when Miss Florida Leanza Cornett focused on AIDS awareness. Miss America 1998 Kate Shindle also focused on AIDS awareness, turning heads when she taught high school students how to use a condom. While Miss America 2003 Ericka Harold won with an anti-bullying platform, within a week after her crowning she adopted a secondary platform of abstinence education. Interestingly, as the final questions at Miss America have become more overtly political, the platforms have become less so since the early 2000s. Miss America 2018's platform is "A Make-A-Wish Passion with Fashion." A worthy service organization, but not quite as controversial as climate change.
One thing that has not changed even as substance has been elevated at the Miss America pageant: Looks matter. You might scratch your head over the fact that a young woman will spend the same amount of time answering questions about Russian collusion as she will walking on stage in high heels and a bikini. But even in that sense, beauty pageants aren't so different from the political world, where looks matter too. Recall the reaction in 2010 to photos of Obama on the beach in Hawaii -- he was ogled and dissected, even though how a president looks in swimming trunks presumably has no bearing on his leadership.
Politicians know they need to be fit, healthy and attractive -- Jeb Bush practically starved himself to get thin for the GOP presidential primary race, and don't forget that Arnold Schwarzenegger got his start in politics after winning the title of Mr. Universe four times, displaying far more skin than any Miss America contestant. Just because beauty matters in a beauty pageant doesn't mean that the contestants aren't being evaluated more and more like political candidates.
As the Miss America pageant becomes more political, more Miss Americas seem to be seeking office, though none have been elected yet. This year's winner aspires to be the first woman governor of North Dakota. Miss America 2003 Erika Harold is running for Illinois attorney general, and she has twice (unsuccessfully) run for U.S. Congress. Miss America 2004 Ericka Dunlap is running for city commissioner in Orlando, Florida.
Beth Ann Rankin ran for U.S. Congress in 2012 and thinks her schedule as , Miss Arkansas 1994 trained her well for the campaign trail. She explained that as Miss Arkansas, "I would often visit six cities in a single day and have to roll out of the car after a five-hour drive and give a speech and roll back in the car and get to another," which wasn't dissimilar from her schedule as a congressional candidate.
The increasing overlap between pageantry and politics can be explained by the simultaneous move toward more serious Miss America contestants and the creep of entertainment into our politics. If Miss Americas have anything to say about it, the first female president isn't as far off as she was in 1969. And of course, she'll look good while delivering substance in just 20 seconds.

When it comes to cooking, imagination is EVERYTHING! And when we're digging through the fridge, towards the end of the week, imagination is crucial. Over the years I've found that the word 'recipe' is relative. I rarely use a cookbook. And when I do, it's for the basics, such as simple batters and what not….and I ALWAYS seem to be modifying those as well. For instance, more flour=thicker, more eggs=fluffier and more milk=thinner.
Growing up, cooking a turkey meant a little oil rub, salt and pepper. As an adult, I've found my own little piece of food heaven with the discovery of 'where' flavor comes from. For instance, sweet and sour chicken can be as simple as oranges and apples. Throw in some brown sugar and it's good to go! So for my turkey, there's nothing like 'pure' flavor. Skip the pre-made, processed crap that they sell at the stores. Start an herb garden, buy fresh fruit regularly and get cooking!
The best way to begin a turkey, is to take stock of what's in the fridge. Keep apples, pineapples, oranges, mangoes and peaches on hand. They tend to go well with EVERYTHING! Don't buy that thick sweet and sour sauce, with all those ingredients nobody can pronounce. After you've moistened up that turkey (I use coconut oil), start chopping! Chop op those beautiful fruits and throw them on there…peel and all! Add a few onions, maybe some celery and sprinkle with freshly ground herbs from the garden. I like to use rosemary sprigs. Then cook according to the package directions on the turkey.
As time goes by, you'll get to know your likes and dislikes. There's no such thing as a bad idea, just unfinished ones. Keep trying till you get it right. Creativity is everything!

Fran Benne | Design and Communications Specialist, Agronomy and Horticulture
A pair of horticulture seniors were among the top three winners in the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Engler Quick Pitch with a Twist competition, April 13, at the Firethorn Resort in Lincoln. Brittney Cihal and Kelsey Foster, both set to graduate this May, each won $1,000.
Nebraska undergraduate students competed in the quick pitch preliminary rounds April 11 at the Lester F. Larsen Tractor Test and Power Museum on East Campus. Students had the opportunity to showcase their entrepreneurial, communication and presentation skills through a short, quick-pitch proposal for a new business venture, which they delivered to a panel of entrepreneurial-minded judges from the area.
Presentations were judged on the competitors' ability to address the key components of a start-up business venture, answer the judges' questions regarding their venture and present their idea passionately, creatively, clearly and concisely.
Cihal and Foster were among the nine chosen to present in the final round two days later, and they were selected as two of the three eventual winners. Lindsey Sabatka, an agribusiness major, was also a winner.
Cihal, who hails from Valparaiso, Nebraska, pitched an alcoholic bakery business with alcohol-infused baked goods called Drinkin' Desserts. She began the business a few months after she turned 21 and plans to expand and continue after graduation.
"My bakery business will be a side job until it takes off and hopefully someday become a full-time job," she said.
Cihal, who is advised by agronomy and horticulture associate professor Kim Todd, will earn a degree in horticulture with a landscape design option. Following graduation she will begin working full-time as a designer at Campbell's Nursery in Lincoln.
When asked about her experience at the university, Cihal was quick to note the life-long friendships she made with students and faculty. "The teachers on East Campus are very helpful," she said. "I can send a quick question or just start small talk with them."
Both Cihal and Foster are students in the Entrepreneurship 488 Business Management for Agricultural Enterprises course, taught by Dave Lambe, agronomy and horticulture associate professor of practice.
The ACE 10 class is a business-plan writing course focused on student business ideas. Students learn to write business plans, network with professionals and compose a set of financial statements projecting their costs and income over a five-year period. Students then pitch their ideas to bankers and investors, and present their plans to business professionals in the classroom.
Lambe has the class compete in either a business-plan competition or business-pitch competition, hosted by the College of Business Center for Entrepreneurship or the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program.
Cihal credits Lambe's class for the inspiration to start her own business. "I chose a product that I love working with and wanted to add my own twist to," she said.
After experimenting, she decided to take it to a friend's 21st birthday party where she received a lot of positive reviews. "It inspired me to continue working with the product," Cihal said.
Foster pitched a business plan involving her family farm near Broken Bow, Nebraska, and expanding on the current native grass seed production operation to include forb seed production.
"By also growing wildflower seed, we can pursue more marketing opportunities," Foster said. "My long-term goal is to enlarge the business to include my three sisters' talents and interests as well as my own."
But for now, Foster, who is advised by Lambe, is finishing up a horticulture degree with a production option and a minor in leadership and entrepreneurship. After graduation, she will return to the family farm to begin implementing expansion plans and work toward a Master Naturalist Certification.

Cooking with Style
Minneapolis A modest addition, transformed the flow of this 1920s Minneapolis house. The new kitchen absorbed a previous sun room and the added 5 x 5 back entry providing much needed circulation from the dining room to the kitchen. The narrow sun room accommodated a run of cabinets and an island, while the exterior walls were kept free for large windows. The space expands to include the new back porch, making the room feel even more generous. An added benefit are the wonderful views of the familys urban back yard garden.

In this elegiac memoir, Vera Brittain (1893–1970) recalls her experiences during the First World War, when she abandoned her Oxford studies to enlist as a nurse in the armed services, and saw the hopes of her generation turn to despair during a conflict in which she lost all the men she loved. With a foreword by her daughter Shirley Williams. Felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.

It's been a while. I've been busy....and technically, I still am busy, but let's just not talk about that for a bit cos I'm a little bit stressed to the eyeballs.
Let's talk about the power of nature, or, at least, my perceptions of the power of nature.
Last year, as some of you know, and many have experienced, I moved to Geelong from kinda-inner-north Melbourne. Geelong had trees, and birds, and flowers, and rainbows (and today, it clearly has more caffeine than my little body can take!!).
So, I moved back, and started communing with nature (fully clothed, of course). That was until.... I was taking the dog for a walk through the park, and a magpie swooped me!!
Who would have thought:
- a bird, outside of the zoo
- flying unrestrained
- and....apparently, birds live in trees!!
Well who knew that? I must watch the discovery channel more often!
And then, yesterday, I was awestruck by the cleverness of nature.
I went to see my naturopath, and accordingly, was feeling at one with the natural world around me. I parked my car under a fig tree (thus creating a nice juxtaposition between the beauty of nature with the ever-conquering, powerful hand of the Daewoo Lanos maker), and looked up to see the most beautiful spider's web I'd ever seen.
I sat, inspired for a while, and even took a photo with my phone.
- It looked like silver thread
- so evenly spaced that it could have been made by a machine
- and draped effortlessly amongst the leaves
- hang on......
- it was all over the tree, not just in that first spot that I noticed.......
It could have been a beautiful illustration of the immensity of nature....or, in actual fact, it was a net to keep the figs from the birds.
So, here's a picture for your brain of what you would see from the receptionists window
- me, put-putting into the carpark in the trusty daewoo
- lifting half a wheelchair out of the car, but then stopping
- seemingly transfixed by the tree
- taking a photo, not of the whole tree, just of a random section
- quizzingly looking at that photo
- then the tree
- reaching up to feel the leaves, and the "spider's web"
- randomly telling the tree to "f@@@ itself"
Yep, nothing for the cause

A few days ago, I posted some advice on how to edit your own work when you get to that step in the writing process. Editing is, maybe unfortunately for some, one of the more grueling parts of writing, and for a lot of us, we might not have the chance to have someone else help us. On the other hand, there are those of us out there whose primary focus is editing–specifically, editing the work of other writers. There might be a few different reasons why you've been put into the position of "editor;" maybe you're friends with the person who wrote something and you owe them a favor, maybe you're a beta reader, maybe it is literally your job to edit the work of other people.
Whatever the reason is (and I've been in a number of those positions), here are some of my personal guidelines for editing other people's work.
1. If editing someone else's academic papers, offer suggestions rather than outright edits.
For one thing, they might know more than you do about the topic they're writing about. For another, editing can be a teaching process as well, and if you're doing peer-to-peer editing, it helps to keep in mind that you're not the one making the argument. If you know there's a grammar rule being broken, or that there's clumsy sentence structure, by all means, point it out–but remember, they're not beholden to follow your edits (just like you might not be beholden to follow theirs).
2. Read the work aloud–twice.
Your initial time reading something, you're not going to know exactly where the end point is. If you're editing someone's novel, it might be easier to not read aloud, but then you run the risk of skimming through the work. The second time you read it, include mentioning the punctuation you see. Familiarize yourself with the text, and ask yourself, "Is there really the need for a comma here?" Like I mentioned in my post about editing your own work, reading aloud makes you pay more attention.
3. Know the purpose of their writing.
Find out why they have written what they did. If it's an academic or research paper, find out if they're supposed to be following MLA or APA formatting rules, since the two are vastly different in execution. If possible, ask what their goal was in mind while writing the story–is it supposed to make readers sad, or is it supposed to be uplifting? This can also help you make word choice changes in order to help better get that tone across. Furthermore, if someone's writing something that's supposed to be factual, you can point out that they really need to cite their sources–otherwise, it's just their opinion, and that makes for a weak argument.
4. Aim for consistency.
You're looking to make the writer as consistent as possible in their style choices. Even if they flip narrators, which is something that happens in prose more and more, make sure those narrative voices are distinct. If they prefer to format 3 a.m. as 3 AM, make sure they do the same thing when it's 12 PM. Make sure their capitalization and whether or not they use an apostrophe s after names ending with s (for example, "Zeus'" or "Zeus's"), and if they do it once, make sure they do it again.
5. Talk to the writer, if you can.
This isn't always an option (trust me–especially on a deadline, you might need to stick to making the decisions yourself), but if you're in communication with the writer, explain the choices you've made as an editor. If there were places that you felt were sticky, explain why it was difficult to read through them. Tell them what you would think as a reader, since that kind of feedback is necessary in order to improve writing. If you're nice about it, they'll appreciate the feedback. Which leads me to my final point…
6. Don't be a jerk.
Nobody's going to want to work with you if you're condescending and mean. It's one thing to do a job efficiently, but another entirely to make people feel bad. If you act as though you've never made a spelling error in your life and then you make fun of someone for it, you're just being unkind.

The Defense Information Systems Agency's $7.5 billion Systems Engineering Technology and Innovation contract is not going unchallenged.
Four companies have filed bid protests claiming that evaluations were not properly conducted for the contract known as SETI. If they had been, they would have secured a spot on the contract.
More protests could be coming as DISA received 35 bids for the unrestricted portion of the contract and made 14 awards. A small business track is yet to be awarded.
SETI has been seen as a crown jewel of sorts. While technically a new vehicle it is a spinoff from DISA's Encore III program. For Encore III, DISA went with a lowest price, technical acceptable route that signaled it was looking for commodity type services.
For more services needs that required higher-end innovation, it developed SETI.
Some companies landed spots on both Encore III and SETI. Others such as IBM and Vencore (now Perspecta) decided not to pursue Encore III and instead focused on SETI.
"There was no room for innovation (on Encore III)," an IBM executive told me.
IBM and Vencore were among the 14 winners of SETI. The others are:
Four companies -- Technatomy, OGSystems, Novetta and Solers Inc. – all believe they should be on the list as well. They filed their protests with the Government Accountability Office between June 29 and July 2. A decision from GAO is expected no later than Oct. 10.
The list of winners and the four protesters also tell me that DISA might be trying something different with SETI.
Obviously, you have several traditional companies such as Accenture, BAE, Booz Allen, Leidos, GD, and Northrop.
But for a full-and-open portion of a large IDIQ, you also have relatively small companies such as AASKI Technologies, a former 8(a) company. Deloitte's presence also says a lot about how far that company has come in the defense market over the last five or so years.
On the protester side, Technatomy is a former 8(a) company and Solers is an employee-owned company with less than $300 million in revenue.
With this mix of large companies with broad capabilities and smaller more narrowly focused firms, it'll be interesting to see how the competition for task orders shakes out.
Of course, we have to get through the protests first.

1. All the lawyers are gone. That's usually when the sh*t hits the fan and everything goes to hell. More so if they are all gone on a firm retreat and are too inebriated to help by phone or e-mail. (Yes, I have been there.)
2. A lawyer actually says "thank you" for something that doesn't really deserve thanks. Not a guaranteed warning sign of Bad Things, but certainly a good possibility.
3. It's the last day before you go on vacation for a week. Double points if you have a flight to catch that evening. Triple if it's overseas. That's why I always have my suitcase packed and in the car my last day before vacation.
4. You come in one morning to several dozen new e-mails from your attorney(s), all sent in the wee hours of the morning.

Oncimmune Holdings plc (LON:ONC), a leading early cancer detection company developing and commercialising its proprietary EarlyCDT® liquid biopsy platform technology, today announced the publication of results showing the cost effectiveness of its blood-based autoantibody test, EarlyCDT®-Lung, versus computed tomography (CT) surveillance alone, in the evaluation of incidentally-detected pulmonary nodules. The study was jointly conducted by the health economics consultancy Policy Analysis Inc. and published in PLOS ONE.
Patients who have incidentally detected pulmonary nodules and an estimated intermediate risk (5%-65%) of lung cancer are frequently accessed via CT surveillance to detect nodule growth, despite ACCP guidelines for a more aggressive diagnostic strategy such as positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT). This study examined whether initial administration of the EarlyCDT®-Lung test to intermediate-risk patients, in lieu of CT surveillance alone, could improve outcomes by earlier intervention and thus earlier diagnosis of lung cancer in a cost-effective manner.
The study results indicated that the use of EarlyCDT®-Lung is likely to be a cost-effective use of healthcare resources as it results in earlier diagnosis of lung cancer in patients with incidentally detected pulmonary nodules, who are estimated to be at intermediate risk of lung cancer and who are scheduled for CT surveillance alone. The standard QALY (cost for every Quality Adjusted Life Year) accepted as cost effective by payors is $50,000 or less and this publication shows that EarlyCDT®-Lung has a QALY of half this at $25,000.
The Company believes this publication, in addition to the many already published papers validating performance of the EarlyCDT®-Lung test[i], [ii], [iii] and its clinical performance in the field published by the Journal of Thoracic Oncology[iv],[v], makes a compelling case to both clinicians and payors that the use of EarlyCDT®-Lung leads to a cost-effective improvement in outcomes.
Dr James Jett, Chief Medical Officer (US) of Oncimmune Holdings plc, said: "The evaluation of incidentally discovered pulmonary nodules is an increasingly common problem for clinicians. Published guidelines recommend PET-CT for evaluation of intermediate risk nodules but often these guidelines are not followed in favour of CT surveillance alone. These results show that the use of EarlyCDT-Lung, our simple, blood-based autoantibody test which can detect cancer four years earlier than other methods, could be cost effective when used to improve diagnosis and patient outcomes."
Geoffrey Hamilton-Fairley, Chief Executive Officer of Oncimmune, commented: "Oncimmune has always acknowledged that the health economics around its tests will be key to their uptake as they roll out commercially. We have spent many years working with Policy Analysis (PAI) to develop models, using independent inputs, for our tests and we have used these estimates before embarking on product development to make sure the ultimate results will have both clinical validity and be cost effective. This publication demonstrates that our approach is sound and we will now move forward with a complete set of relevant publications relating to the use of EarlyCDT®-Lung in the risk evaluation of intermediate pulmonary nodules, to help us accelerate adoption in the US."

Gondwanaland, the Pangaean supercontinent that existed millions of years ago is named after Gondwana, a region in Central India. Gondwana comes from the Sanskrit goṇḍavana or the forest of the Gonds, a tribe spread across the area.
पोटा (pōṭā) in Sanskrit is a word that represents a masculine woman, or a bearded woman or one with other such masculine features. Alternatively, it can also mean hermaphrodite or simply, a female servant.
There is a village in Kerala named Areacode. Its area code is 0483 (for Malappuram).
India's highest military decoration, the Param Vir Chakra, was designed by Savitri Khanolkar, a lady who was born Eve Yvonne Maday de Maros in Switzerland and was of Hungarian-Russian ancestry. She was married to Major-General Vikram Khanolkar of the Sikh Regiment.
Travelling about 80kms from Darjeeling and to an altitude of 7200 feet gets you to the cool climes of a hill-station named Lava.
The Loo is a hot, debilitating wind that sweeps across Western India, particularly Rajasthan in the months of May and June. Heatstrokes are referred to as Loo lagna (लू लगना). Apparently, Hamdard's Rooh-afza is based on a unani recipe for a drink with cooling properties recommended during this time.
The word saffron, a colour often associated with Hinduism, is believed to have its root in the Arabic word, az-za'faran which is itself of unknown origin.
The name crocus, for the flowering plant and source of saffron, is very likely ultimately descended from Sanskrit kunkumam (कुङ्कुमं) by way of 'Semitic', Arabic, and Greek.

- 6-inch 18:9 bezel-less display
- 4GB/64GB memory and 6GB/128GB memory variants
- Dual rear camera expected
Sony is rumoured to come up with three bezel-less smartphones in 2018 with a recent one being Sony "Xperia A Edge" which may come with curved edge display similar to Samsung Galaxy S8.
In a recent report from GizmoChina, Sony is confirmed to hold a press conference at the CES 2018. However the company has not confirmed it yet but it is rumoured to announce a Snapdragon 845 powered smartphone in its press conference.
Sony is rumoured to launch next-generation H8116, H8166, H8216, H8266, H8276 and H8296 smartphones next year. The reports claim that smartphones with model number Sony H8216 and Sony H8266 could be two variants of recently reported Sony Xperia XZ2 featuring the Snapdragon 845 SoC.
Both these Xperia XZ2 variants could be 4GB RAM + 64GB internal storage and 6GB RAM + 128GB internal storage variant. The recorded benchmark listing of these phones operating on Snapdragon 845 are 2393 on a single core and 8300 on a multi core test.
The company has been known for using the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 as a platform to introduce various products from its portfolio. Thus, the company is expected to showcase the smartphones alongside TV's and other products.
Sony was the first smartphone manufacturer to announce first Snapdragon 835 powered smartphone this but it will not be able to do so as Xiaomi has already partnered with Qualcomm and announced its upcoming Mi 7 smartphone.

On Friday, the kiddos and I made our way to Naperville to visit the DuPage Children's Museum to check out the new Leonardo DaVinci exhibit. We had a lot of fun playing.
After having a lot of fun at the Museum we headed to the new Christkindlmarket in downtown Naperville in the Naper Settlement. I have been to the one in downtown Chicago a bunch of times and I knew the kiddos would love it.
There are a bunch of little huts with vendors selling things like ornaments, decorations, candy and food items. We walked around a couple of times to scope out some ornaments and they finally picked a booth with wooden animal ornaments that were hand painted.
Ethan picked out a frog
Sofia picked out a hedgehog
After picking out some ornaments, it was time for lunch. Sofia had a giant soft pretzel and Ethan had a bratwurst. As you can tell they liked them!
Such a fun day with my littles!

West Africa conference focuses on threat posed by jihadists
Dakar – Islamic extremists are expanding their reach in West Africa, using porous borders and exploiting political chaos to further their attacks, security experts said on Monday at the opening of a regional conference on the jihadist threat.
At least 800 security officials and analysts from across the region are taking part in the two-day conference to develop strategies for a co-ordinated response to the attacks that have mounted this year far beyond Boko Haram's base in north-eastern Nigeria.
"I think the main characteristic of the threat today is that this is a threat that knows no boundaries," said Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga, African Union special envoy in the fight against terrorism.
As the conference took place, a female teenage suicide bomber in a town along the Cameroonian-Nigerian border targeted a mosque during afternoon prayers. At least four people were killed and dozens were wounded in Fotokol, according to regional Govenor Midjiyawa Bakari.
It also comes after Senegalese authorities announced on Saturday that several imams have been arrested and accused of supporting Boko Haram. While the extremist group has been attacking neighbouring countries the recently announced arrests are the first suggesting a Boko Haram threat in Senegal, a mostly moderate Muslim nation.
Boko Haram's six-year-old uprising has left an estimated 20 000 people dead, according to Amnesty International. This year militants from the group have stepped up their attack across the Lake Chad region where the borders of Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon meet.

Al-Beidha (Little Petra)
Beyond Umm Sayhun, a short distance north of Petra, the road runs between wild and beautiful outcrops of rock, the color of pale honey. It is called al-Beidha in Arabic, 'the white one'.
Turning left at the T-junction, some steps to the right of the road lead up to an opening in the rock which leads to the largest Nabataean cistern in the Petra area, still used today by the Amareen bedouin whose territory this is. Inside, a vast space was chiselled out of the rock in order to store the water that was vital for this major agricultural area, the bread-basket of the northern suburbs.
Al-Beidha was also one of the main commercial areas of Petra, the entry and exit point for the trade routes to the north and north-west. Here the caravans from the Negev, Gaza and Askalon, from Jerusalem and the Phoenician coast would arrive and settle for a while to engage in trade, their camels and donkeys quartered in the broad acres near the cistern. The merchants probably stayed in the cool seclusion of the Siq al-Barid, the cold gorge, whose entrance is at the end of a narrowing of the valley.
Just before the entrance is a façade of luminous simplicity, at the top of a short flight of steps. It does not seem to have been or a tomb for al-Beidha was designed more for the living than for the dead. Perhaps it was the office of the collector of tolls of the trading caravans that lodged here. Like all the monuments of Siq al-Barid, this façade is thought to have been carved in the first half of the first century AD, when the whole quarter was developed during a period of Petra's expansion.
Beyond the short and very narrow cleft in the rock that forms its entrance – too narrow for laden camels to pass – the Siq al-Barid opens out into the first of three natural courtyards. In the high enclosing cliffs is a profusion of façades and cisterns, interspersed with steps, some of which lead to high and holy places on the summits. Dominating the south cliff is the elegant and simple façade of what may have been a temple.
The second natural courtyard seems to have been a place for feasting for here, carved into the rocks, are more triclinia per square metre than in any other area of Petra. Unlike the triclinia associated with tombs, these have no religious or funerary association – they may be just refectories in which the merchants ate their meals together.
One of the rooms in this courtyard is unique for its early first-century AD frescoed ceiling. From the outside it is insignificant, an unadorned hole reached by a flight of steps, whose safety (though not appearance) has been somewhat improved by concrete reinforcement. It is a biclinium, or two-benched dining room, and the ceiling of the alcove at the back of the chamber is painted all over with a delicate tracery of vines with bunches of grapes hanging from the branches. Inhabiting this leafy and flowered world are a variety of birds, some in flight, others resting on branches, a cherub-like figure of Eros with his bow and arrow, and a flute-playing Pan.

One of the frequently mentioned characters in Clark's diary is Colonel James E. Williams, the commander of the 2d Brigade, 1st Infantry Division. Clark knew Williams from Leavenworth, where he served as the Director of Large Unit Operations at CGSC from 1962-1965. The Army gave Williams command of the 2d Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, in the spring of 1965 just as the unit prepared to deploy to South Vietnam. On 20 June 1965, Simmons and an advance party of brigade staff officers and battalion commanders flew to Vietnam and made arrangements for the brigade's arrival.
|Colonel James E. Williams, U.S. Army. (Photo courtesy U.S. Army)
In 1965, the 2d Brigade was composed of the 2d Battalion, 16th Infantry; the 1st and 2d Battalions, 18th Infantry; the 1st Battalion, 7th Artillery; Battery C, 8th Battalion, 6th Artillery; and various support units, including engineer, maintenance, medical, police, military intelligence, and signal intercept companies. During the first half of June the brigade loaded its equipment on railroad cars for shipment to California. The first train left Fort Riley, Kansas, on 14 June. Between 21 June and 24 June, the rest of the unit traveled by rail and air to the Oakland, California Army Terminal. On 25 June, the brigade embarked on the U.S.Navy transport General W.H. Gordon, while three other ships moved the brigade's equipment. Once the ship was under way, Simmons officially informed the troops what they had already suspected: They were en route to Vietnam. [1]
Simmons and his brigade experienced many difficulties throughout the summer of 1965. Westmoreland and DePuy changed the 2d Brigade's destination and mission a week before its arrival in Vietnam. Originally, the brigade was tasked with establishing and maintaining defenses for port and supply facilities at Qui Nhon; instead, MACV divided the brigade and sent two of the unit's infantry battalions, the 2d Battalion, 16th Infantry, and the 2d Battalion, 18th Infantry, to Bien Hoa to assist the 173d Airborne Brigade with securing the air base. MACV ordered the third battalion, the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry, and an artillery battery to Cam Ranh Bay, 200 kilometers south of Qui Nhon, to provide security for the port.
|The 2d Brigade, 1st Infantry Division arrives at Vung Tau, 14 July 1965. (Photo courtesy U.S. Army)
Movements Branch's role in the deployment began when the Gordon reached Cam Ranh Bay on 12 July, where the troop ship docked to allow the infantry and artillery to disembark. Clark arranged for LSTs and LCUs to move the troops from the Gordon to Cam Ranh. The ship continued south and arrived at Vung Tau on 14 July. Over the next two days Movements Branch arranged for the troops to move by LST and LCU to Vung Tau port; from there, the troops made their way to the Vung Tau airfield, where Movements Branch arranged for their airlift to Bien Hoa Air Base. Upon arrival, Movements Branch arranged the brigade to be moved by truck to their prospective base camp, about three kilometers southeast of the airfield, a site chosen because it lay astride a line of approach into the air base. For its first few days in Vietnam, Simmons' force was under the command of MACV; on 19 July, the 173d Airborne Brigade assumed operational control of the 2d Brigade. This arrangement continued until the 1st Infantry Division headquarters deployed to Vietnam in October 1965. This command arrangement also significantly affected Colonel Simmons, as Clark related in the diary in September 1965. [2]
Westmoreland and DePuy's decision to change the 2d Brigade's station from Qui Nhon to Bien Hoa created supply problems for Simmons and for Movements Branch. Clark and his branch had arranged the movement and preposition of food stores and ammunition for the brigade at Qui Nhon. Now that supply was unavailable and difficult for Movements Branch to transport to Bien Hoa while tactical operations and the imminent arrival of additional combat units were ongoing. The existing Army and Navy warehouses scattered around Saigon had difficulty supporting the troop buildup and could afford the brigade only minimal help. Throughout the summer, Simmons' brigade existed on a thin logistical shoestring and only the U.S. Navy HSAS commissary at Cholon kept the troops of the brigade from subsisting on field rations for months at a time. Ominously, the brigade's ammunition supply became so depleted during combat operations that Simmons had to borrow artillery rounds from South Vietnamese units. As Clark will explain in future diary entries, Simmons asked Movements Branch to help airlift supplies to his unit. [3]

Melton Times letter: Mayor's Appeal
On behalf of the Belvoir Cricket and Countryside Trust I wish to thank the 2015-16 Mayor of the Borough of Melton, Councillor Jeanne Douglas, for choosing us as one of her two charities during her year in office.
We are enormously grateful for the donation of £2,402.20 and would like to extend our thanks to all those who supported the Mayor's Appeal in any way.
The Trust's projects range from developing junior cricket sections at club level and re-introducing cricket into schools to getting youngsters up and active and sharing our beautiful countryside on the Belvoir Castle Estate.
This summer we added two new Belvoir Bees venues to our weekly kwik cricket programme, took the Teach Cricket project into 14 schools and some 1,800 primary school children and 100 special needs youngsters from 36 schools in total took part in one of our Cricket and Countryside Education Days.
The support we received from the Mayor's Appeal and the local community means a lot to us and to our many volunteers who see week in, week out the value of the Trust's work with local children.
Darren Bicknell, Chief executive of the Belvoir Cricket and Countryside Trust

Wind, moon, ocean, stars, times of discontent. Sunny days, times of happiness and peace. Whatever is happening outside, is it not also reflected inside, even a little? No one stays constant, always the same. Everyone changes, like the weather day to day, like nature, a river in constant motion. Yet strive always, in spite of life's challenges, to maintain your core strength and balance. Stay connected to your knowing self, to your inner you, for if you stray too far from that inner self you are no more than a raging river, unable to maintain its boundaries. A river carries within its depths enough power to forge ahead no matter what challenges it. Learn the lessons of the river, of nature, yet return always to your human core, to your calmness and balance.
-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

I went for a walk today because it was nice and sunny. I took random photos of what I saw which today was Caernarfon Castle and surrounding area. Be warned a lot of random photos!
WOW, these are breathtaking! I would love to visit a Castle in person, but until I do these pictures are doing justice 🙂
Is it still being used or is it abandoned (I've never understood abandoning a Castle, they're so gorgeous!)
