[77] So being desirous to turn the people to this war against the Ammonites by fear of the losses they should otherwise undergo, and that they might the more suddenly be gathered together, he cut the sinews of his oxen, and threatened to do the same to all such as did not come with their armor to Jordan the next day, and follow him and Samuel the prophet whithersoever they should lead them. So they came together, out of fear of the losses they were threatened with, at the appointed time. And the multitude were numbered at the city Bezek. And he found the number of those that were gathered together, besides that of the tribe of Judah, to be seven hundred thousand, while those of that tribe were seventy thousand. So he passed over Jordan, and proceeded in marching all that night, thirty furlongs, and came to Jabesh before sun-rising. So he divided the army into three companies; and fell upon their enemies on every side on the sudden, and when they expected no such thing; and joining battle with them, they slew a great many of the Ammonites, as also their king Nabash. This glorious action was done by Saul, and was related with great commendation of him to all the Hebrews; and he thence gained a wonderful reputation for his valor: for although there were some of them that contemned him before, they now changed their minds, and honored him, and esteemed him as the best of men: for he did not content himself with having saved the inhabitants of Jabesh only, but he made an expedition into the country of the Ammonites, and laid it all waste, and took a large prey, and so returned to his own country most gloriously. So the people were greatly pleased at these excellent performances of Saul, and rejoiced that they had constituted him their king. They also made a clamor against those that pretended he would be of no advantage to their affairs; and they said, Where now are these men? - let them be brought to punishment, with all the like things that multitudes usually say when they are elevated with prosperity, against those that lately had despised the authors of it. But Saul, although he took the good-will and the affection of these men very kindly, yet did he swear that he would not see any of his countrymen slain that day, since it was absurd to mix this victory, which God had given them, with the blood and slaughter of those that were of the same lineage with themselves; and that it was more agreeable to be men of a friendly disposition, and so to betake themselves to feasting.

The Hummel Report
Investigative Reports That Get Results
A Rhode Island 501c3 Non-Profit
The Union Perspective
Last fall's special session of the Rhode Island General Assembly resulted in significant changes to the state's pension system. But the appetite for reform in the municipal systems has waned as lawmakers head into the heart of this year's session. This week Jim Hummel sits down with two veteran union leaders for their perspective on the changes - and the pension system going forward.
Hummel: ``Last fall's special session resulted in substantial changes to the state's pension system. But the appetite for reform seems to have wanted on the municipal pension side as lawmakers head into the heart of the session. This week we sit down with two veteran union leaders for their taken on the changes - and what's ahead.''
Walsh: ``The biggest problem in the last decade was the lousy rates of return.''
Bob Walsh, a 20-year veteran of the National Education Association of Rhode Island, representing about 12,000 active and retired teachers.
Nee: ``There's been a couple of situations where serious errors were made.''
And George Nee, president of the local chapter of the AFl-CIO - a federation of unions representing nearly 60,000 public sector employees.
In many ways Walsh and Nee have been the public face of organized labor in Rhode Island. They have been in the thick of not only of the most recent pension discussions at the General Assembly, but changes over the past two decades. And they've heard assurances in the past that adjustments will fix the system for the long run.
Hummel: ``One of the big pitches last fall was, if we fix this, we're fixing it once and for all. Do you believe that?''
Nee: ``No. I think the intent is admirable. You could only say that based on what we know today. For example, we don't know what's going to happen to the world economy in the next four or five years that's going to impact the rate of return.''
Hummel: ``This is it, we won't have to do that. Do you believe that?''
Walsh: ``No, we've both been around long enough that when political folks say: this is it, we're never going to have to do this again; well this is the fourth time I've heard this is it on the pension issue in the last now seven years.''
Walsh says he is confident the unions will prevail in a court challenge to last year's alterations spearheaded by General Treasurer Gina Raimondo and Gov. Lincoln Chafee.
The changes included increasing the retirement age, freezing cost of living adjustments, and implementing a hybrid 401(k)-style retirement plan.
Walsh's prediction: the courts will look to other states, like Connecticut, which has similar pension problems, but has increased state contributions and refinanced some of the pension debt.
Walsh: ``We just made a significant tax cut on our highest wage earners, 4 percentage point tax cut. We took the highest income tax bracket down from 9.9 all the way to 5.9 percent. At the same time we're crying poverty in the pension system.''
Hummel: ``Don't you also get a little heat when the headline is Walsh and potentially other union people are saying, well one of the key ways to do this is we need to tax people a little bit more? Is that a fair representation of your position?''
Walsh: ``Well I think one of the problems in Rhode Island is the overreliance on the property tax to fund education - it starves our urban core communities. People are funny about their taxes. They can tell you to the penny what their property taxes went up. They have much less idea what's coming out of their paycheck for state and federal income taxes.''
Hummel: ``And is that where you want to see it, a boost on the income tax?''
Walsh: ``Oh yeah, I'm definitely the Buffett tax, definitely not the buffet tax category.''
Treasurer Raimondo warned local cities and towns they need to do their homework before launching into pension reform - and that has resonated this session on Smith Hill.
Hummel: ``What is your prediction, thought about municipal pension reform going through this session?''
Nee: ``My guess at the moment is that it won't. I for two reasons, one is that I think people are pensioned out and don't want another fight, because there will be a big fight on it.''
Hummel: ``Despite the gravity.''
Nee: ``Despite the gravity. But I think secondly, there's another factor. There's a big, big difference between a statutory benefit and a benefit that's achieved through collective bargaining. The General Assembly has always had the power to make the changes to the pension system, that's always been recognized by the unions.'
Hummel: ``Whether they've had the political will to do it or not.
Nee: ``And they actually have. Look at 2005, 2009 and 2010, they did exercise that political will.''
Hummel" ``What is your assessment of a municipal pension reform getting through this session? Do you think that's going to happen in some form or another?''
Walsh: No. I don't think that's going to happen.''
Hummel: ``And why is that?''
Walsh: ``I think Treasurer Raimondo correctly pointed out there's a lot more homework that needs to be done. While I disagreed with the outcome she gets full credit for doing her homework.''
Nee: ``I don't think - there's little or no since November collective bargaining going on.''
Walsh: ``I think there's a growing number of legislators who have figured out what I told you earlier in our conversation: those unions are going to win in court. So why pass another piece of legislation that is going to subject to legal challenge and prolong a problem.'
Walsh admits the economic and government dynamics are a lot different than they were just a few years ago. And, he says, even if the union prevails in court, changes have to be made.
Especially since the past two years the system has been paying out more than it is taking in.
Hummel: ``Those figures are very daunting. Okay, it's going to be $300 million this year $600 million, that it consumers such a huge chunk of both local and state budgets that in the end if you don't get a reasonable compromise or a solution, then that overshadows everything else. Do you think your membership understands that also?''
Walsh: ``I'd say majority understand. I absolutely have people say: your obligation is to get every single penny back that they took away, in not only this last pension change, but the prior two, which is still going through litigation in the court.''
Hummel: ``And your response?''
Walsh: ``And my response is that's probably not a realistic expectation based on the underlying numbers in the economy.''
Then there's the effect Central Falls declaring bankruptcy has had. Nee says while the state isn't going to go bankrupt - it is a wakeup call for union workers in local communities.
Hummel: ``Has Central Falls been a Sword Damocles? If this can happen and we can reduce benefits under the bankruptcy, whether you agree with it or not, doesn't that get people's attention?''
Nee: ``Well, I think it's more on the local level than the state level. It was a dramatic and draconian situation. And it was something people would have never thought could happen. Here you are one month getting $500 a month in your pension and the next month it's $250. All one person made that decision, or was empowered to make that decision. I think it scared the hell out of people.''
Walsh: ``If I was advising my brethren in Providence I'd say: sit down at the table with the mayor and figure this out, because in bankruptcy your rights are severely limited.''
Nee also says decisions made far away from the States House will affect the pension system going forward.
Nee: ``We have a whole different world that investments are made in. Whoever thought five, six, seven years ago what happens in Greece, or Italy, or Portugal will have such an impact on your pension fund, because it's so much part of the global economy now that it really does cause some concerns.''
At the State House, Jim Hummel, for the Hummel Report.

How to Make a Good First Impression Without Saying a Word
The old saying goes, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
Whether you're meeting an executive for a job interview, a potential client or customer, or a new supervisor just hired at your company, how you come across that first time will shape how the person responds to you in this meeting and how that person perceives you in future encounters.
Like it or not, first impressions frame you in the eyes and mind of others. So, ensuring that you make the most favorable impression that first time is very important. It could make or break your business or job prospects with that person.
In most business situations, the other person has choices. Potential hirers or customers are looking for reasons to narrow their list of prospects, not expand it. They're on the buyer's side, not the seller's, so they ultimately have to decide on one job candidate, one supplier of a certain product or service, one person who'll manage their account. What you say verbally certainly counts. But so does what you "say" nonverbally.
The three main things to be aware of as you approach a first meeting in professional or career-oriented situations involve your appearance, your nonverbal facial communication, and your body language.
Your goal: To come across as friendly, confident, and capable.
Look Like Someone They'd Want to Work With
When you go on a sales call, a marketing pitch, or a job interview, how you look speaks volumes — before you even get to shake hands or say a word.
You want to look like somebody the job interviewer, potential client, or potential customer can feel comfortable with and place confidence in. Both men and women should attend to personal hygiene and cleanliness, get hair trimmed a few days before the big meeting, comb or brush their hair, and dress a cut above what you'd wear at this particular workplace if you worked there.
A rule of thumb is to wear something that makes you look put together for the position of the person you're meeting. That means asking yourself how the executive you're meeting with would dress for an outside business meeting or for corporate big-wigs coming into this office for a major meeting.
If you're going to a business office, dress conservatively. A dark suit for men with a white pressed shirt and subdued colored or patterned tie is a good bet. Shine your dress shoes and wear solid black or navy socks that match your suit. Belt and dress shoes should match each other. Pleated pants shouldn't be baggy.
For women, a dress, a business-cut suit, or a solid or pinstriped dark or khaki colored skirt with a white or blue blouse and jacket gives a nice, sharp appearance. Hose and heels look professional; bare legs, flip-flops, or sneakers don't. Clothes should look tailored and not be too tight or revealing.
Like the "less is more" concept, stand out by not standing out in a not-so-good way. If you have a tattoo that's noticeable, a pierced nose, hair colored some unnatural shade, or some other feature that you wouldn't see on a model in a Ralph Lauren catalog, it's to your advantage to cover or camouflage it. You want the other person to think you're serious about the job or your business — not have their eyes drawn to some unusual feature that costs you credibility points from the first instant.
Your Face Should Say, "I'm Friendly and Assured"
To establish rapport and trust from the outset, your facial expression plays a critical part. The two main aspects here are eye contact and a smile.
You may feel some fear or apprehension, even shyness or lack of self-confidence on the inside. But resolve to overcome this feeling (like the soldier on the battlefield who resolves to go help a buddy in need, despite the danger) and you'll be fine. And chances are the other person will never know.
First, make eye contact. Look the person with whom you're meeting in the eye and sustain that eye contact during those crucial first few moments. As a rule of thumb, hold that first eye contact through the handshake and words of introduction and greeting.
During the meeting, it's okay to look away, perhaps as you take notes. But don't fail to come back to sustained eye contact throughout the meeting.
Second, smile. Open your lips and let teeth show. Give the other person a genuine smile. This affects how your whole face looks. A smiling, pleasant face invites comfortable conversation, even in the context of a business meeting.
Not smiling upon first meeting works against you. It makes it more challenging to trust you if you scowl or even exhibit no facial expression (which comes across in any number of ways, none of which is flattering or helpful to your purpose).
Looking the other person in the eye and smiling communicate that you're friendly, self-assured, and yet don't diminish your professionalism.
Your Body Language Should Be Positive, Too
Even if you dress appropriately, sustain eye contact, and smile, your body language should send a message consistent with these other elements of nonverbal communication.
Shake hands firmly and confidently. (That goes for the initial handshake and the handshake when the meeting is ending.)
Stand up straight, using good posture. Stand flat on both feet. Let your arms hang at your sides, relaxed. Maintain an open posture.
Nervous energy can work against you. So, don't fiddle with your hands or fingers. Don't jam both hands in your pockets. Don't cross your arms or turn away from the person you're meeting with. Don't slouch.
Putting It All Together
To take advantage of that one-time-only opportunity to make a positive first impression, keep these pointers in mind.
Dress sharp and be sure you look put together, professional, and appropriate.
Look the other person in the eye and smile a genuine smile.
Open up your body language and control any nervous energy.
The combination of these ways of communicating nonverbally will affect how the first meeting and any subsequent meetings go. It really boils down to showing respect to the person you're meeting and his or her position.
Attire, facial expression, and body language each and together influence how other people perceive you and how much they trust you. Make sure they're arrows in your quiver, not self-inflicted wound makers.

At Duncraig Dental Care we can help treat your sleep related dental issues to help ensure your dental and overall health is preserved. Did you know that your sleep problems could be triggered by poor oral health? At Duncraig Dental Care we will do the best we can to get to the root of your problem to prescribe the best solution.
Our treatments could be the solution to your condition…
Often sleep related illnesses can be caused by poor oral health; here at Duncraig Dental Care we can prescribe a variety of treatments to help give you a good night's sleep.
What is sleep apnoea?
Sleep apnoea results when your breathing stops or is uneven during sleep. Often this condition occurs when the walls of the throat come together during sleep, which blocks off the upper airway. In the event that this occurs breathing stops for a period of time, this is usually for a few seconds but in some instances it can be between 20 – 40 seconds until the brain registers the lack of breathing or a drop in oxygen levels in order to send a message through your body to wake up. At this point the sleeper usually rouses slightly, in which the upper airway opens. Typically the sleeper will snort and gasp, and then sleeper usually will just drift back to sleep, oblivious to their condition.
More often than not, the person suffering from sleep apnoea doesn't even realise they are waking up. This pattern can repeat itself over and over again every night, causing fragmented sleep patterns. This leaves the person feeling unrefreshed in the morning, with excessive daytime sleepiness, as well as poor daytime concentration, work performance and fatigue.
Sleep apnoea is more common than you may think…
It's estimated that about five per cent of Australians suffer from this sleep disorder, with around one in four men over the age of 30 years affected. Obesity has proven to be one of the most common causes of sleep apnoea. Often the loss of just a few kilograms may be enough to radically reduce the severity of the disorder. Other contributing factors can include:
- Alcohol– liquor can relaxe the throat muscles and often reduces the brain's reaction to sleep disordered breathing
- Certain illnesses- reduced thyroid production or the presence of a very large goitre can trigger sleep apnoea
- Large tonsils- large tonsils can interfere with the throats ability to relax, this is especially evident in sleep apnoea cases in children
- Medications- sleeping tablets and sedatives have been known to bring on the affects of sleep apnoea
- Facial bone shape- the size of muscles such as an undershot jaw can cause difficulty breathing
How we can help you…
At Duncraig Dental Care we will assess your dental condition and your lifestyle to determine the most effective treatment for you. We treat a large amount of our patients with a dental device worn at night that keeps the back of the throat open by forcing air through the nose with a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD). However, some people with sleep apnoea find the device difficult to tolerate, which is why we also offer a mouthguard treatment. They work by holding the jaw forward during sleep, which can keep the throat open for mild sufferers of this condition.

Hello Honey, how you doing? We had shots again today, Cholera and Tetanus, boy are my arms sore, but I'll get over that pain, but my poor lonesome heart won't get better till we are together again. Before I forget wish your dad a happy birthday for me. We can't get to town very often now, so I can't send him a card also think him for the letter for me.
We had a sex hygiene picture and talk by the Chaplain today everybody liked the chaplain very much I was surprised how quiet they were while he talked, he is from Fla., tall, blond, and handsome. In his talk he made you realize why you really wanted to go home and to go home with out having messed around and taken chances on disease that you could transfer to your wife etc.
Well honey I love you very much and never have you off my mind.

Scott Baio is in the clear, because the L.A. County District Attorney has rejected Nicole Eggert's sexual molestation claims against him.
The D.A. cites the statute of limitations as the reason for the rejection. As TMZ reported, Eggert claimed Baio repeatedly molested her between ages 14 and 17. Baio called BS and said he only had sex with Eggert once … when she was 18.
Under current California law there's no statute of limitations if an adult sexually assaults a minor, but when the alleged assaults occurred in the '80s, the statute of limitations was 3 years, which means it has long since run out.
As we previously reported, sources familiar with the case called it "potentially prosecutable" were it not for the statute of limitations.

Ok, so this now seems to be turning into a mini series of posts for the CILIP Conference 2018. I mentioned in my Making the most of a conference post that I was going to make a list of people I wanted to meet at the conference. But, when I sat down to write it I felt a bit bemused at where to start.
If you get a list of delegates before you arrive that's the obvious starting place. But I didn't have that. So here's some ideas I've used:
- The programme: Look at who is speaking at the conference. Don't automatically assume they won't want to talk to little old you. That's a mistake I've made in the past. But with growing confidence I've found that people – even those who I think of as the high and mighty of the LIS world – are far more interested in me and what I do than I thought they would be. It really is a kind, caring and welcoming profession.
- Arrange a topic-based meetup: Is there anything you'd particularly like to talk to people about? I want to chat to other solo LIS-ers about being a solo-er. So I tweeted to ask if anyone else wanted to talk about that and we're now having a meetup at the first coffee break on Wednesday (11:00-11:40, meeting at the School Libraries Group stand if you're interested).
Would any other solo librarians / info pros be interested in meeting up at #cilipconf18 to discuss the challenges, opportunities and joys of being one of a kind?
— Lizzie Sparrow (@library_lizzie) June 26, 2018
- Say what you do and ask if anyone is interested in talking to you: I wrote a blog post about what I do, what projects I've got coming up on the horizon and other things I'd like to talk to people about. I tweeted about the post and let people come to me. And it's worked!
- My "Inspiring" twitter list: I have a list on Twitter of people who's tweets I find inspiring. They're people who do interesting stuff and are generally optimistic. It's a mix of people I would consider peers and people who I look up to as it were, and a mix of people I know and people I've never met beyond Twitter. But I'll be increasing the proportion that I've met in person at the conference.
- Old colleagues: If you're not in your first LIS job is there anyone from you worked with in previous jobs who you're still in touch with, or would like to get back in touch with? Email, tweet or LinkedIn message them.
- Twitter list of delegates: I was contemplating setting up a list on Twitter for all the people attending the conference. But Phil Gorman got there before me – https://twitter.com/philbgorman/lists/cilip-conference-2018/members. Sometimes people's Twitter bios are enough, but mostly I've been combining this list with a LinkedIn/Google search to find out more about people. Is it nosy? Yes, but it's useful.
- People tweeting about #CILIPconf18: Now the conference is on top of us lots of people are tweeting about looking forward to, traveling to and arriving at the conference. I'm looking at their Twitter bios and searching for them to find out more about them.
The one thing I feel I'm missing out on with this strategy is that it misses anyone not on Twitter or speaking at the conference. If you have any bright ideas how to find out about those people, please share!
And if you've read all that and are now thinking you've got loads to do, don't panic! You don't have to do any of this. If you just speak to people who are stood next to you in the queue for coffee, who look lonely and who's cardigan you like, you will meet interesting and engaging people. It's just that this year there are some specific things and types of people I want to talk to – and I don't want to miss them in the sea of faces.

The Euro to US Dollar (GBP/USD) exchange rate has been close so far today, with the ongoing uncertainties over Eurozone growth continuing to lessen support for the single currency.
Eurozone Economic News: German Figures Unsettle Investors
Data releases primarily presented uncertainty to supporters of the single currency today, with the Euro (EUR) trending in tight ranges against the Pound Sterling (EUR/GBP) and the US Dollar (EUR/USD) on account of German contributions.
These have been the February retail sales results, which have fallen on the month but risen on the year. Countering the annual positivity has been the unemployment data for March, which has recorded no change in the unemployment rate.
Major Euro movements have included rises of 0.2% against the Japanese Yen (EUR/JPY) and the US Dollar (EUR/USD) but a loss of -0.4% against the South African Rand (EUR/ZAR).
US Dollar (USD) Remains Soft Today after Oil Inventories Figure is Announced
The appeal of the US Dollar (USD) has been uncertain across the board today, advancing by 0.2% against the Pound Sterling (USD/GBP) but falling by -0.2% against the Indian Rupee (USD/INR) and the Polish Zloty (USD/PLN).
With the currency still weak in the wake of recent dovishness from Fed Chair Janet Yellen, the most recent high-impact data for US crude oil inventories to March 25th has done little to inspire fresh confidence in the 'Buck'.
The count, which previously printed at 9357k, was expected to come in at 3000k yesterday. Unfortunately, a drop was recorded and the actual figure was 2299k.
Future Forecast: Eurozone Inflation Rate and US Claims Stats due Today
The near future will bring key data from both the Eurozone and the US, with the former currency area holding the advantage in terms of impact. Principally, the Eurozone's inflation rate estimate and core figure for March on the year will be announced, with current forecasts being broadly positive in both fields.
Later on in the afternoon, the US's negatively forecast initial jobless and continuing claims figures for March are expected.
Current EUR, USD Exchange Rates
The Euro to US Dollar (EUR/USD) exchange rate was trending in the region of 1.1349 and the US Dollar to Euro (USD/EUR) exchange rate was trending in the region of 0.6963 today.

Continuing the Winter Clean
Last winter, our house team worked their socks off, Continue reading
How many people does it take to …
… prepare the house for opening?
As many as possible. When a room has been put to bed for the winter and then needs to be 'woken up', there is a lot to do. There is the acid-free tissue paper that needs to be removed, folded and put back into storage for the next winter clean.
Dust covers that needed to be taken off the furniture and also put back into storage, in the Housekeeping Store.
Some rooms have curtains that need to be lifted up and adjusted, after the winter when they were allowed to hang down whilst being dusted.
I can't give you an exact number for the house overall, but to give you an idea of how many people are needed to make sure each room is spick and span, ready for opening, just take a look at the Long Gallery. This room alone required three volunteers and one Assistant House Steward to dust and vacuum this 130ft long space. And that's just one (rather long) room. Not all four people are visible in the picture below. That's because one volunteer is just out of shot on the right and the other one was the photographer.
Not counting the basement, the Breakfast Room, the Adam Room, the corridors and Grand Stair, there are 12 rooms on display, which all need to be cleaned and made ready for visitors to see them. This many rooms calls for teamwork, which is why each season, there are so many people pulling together, both volunteers and staff, to ensure the house is ready to welcome visitors so they can once again, or for the first time, enjoy the delights there are on offer.
A peek into the Housekeeping Store
A Happy New Year from the team at Osterley. We all hope you had a good break. The house team have been back at work for almost a week now and have got stuck into continuing the Winter Clean. More about that next time but we thought we'd share with you some pictures of our housekeeping store which houses our essential equipment for cleaning Osterley House.
Before you view this last shot, please be warned, these are insect traps which we have collected from around the house, therefore you may spy an insect or two. Look away now if you cannot abide insects of any kind.
Waking up the house
Over the winter, we have been blogging about 'putting the house to bed.' A few weeks ago, the team began to prepare the house for its first day of the new season. In doing this, we were echoing the servants who worked at Osterley all those years ago and whose responsibility it was to get the house ready for the family and their guests, when they came to stay (although the servants then probably wouldn't have been using a Henry vacuum cleaner to clean the floors).
And the clean goes on…
We are well into 2014 now and the winter clean is continuing, ready for when the house opens in March. As explained in our post 'That time of year', the winter clean is also known as 'Putting the house to bed.' Charlecote Park, a National Trust property in Warwickshire, also blogged on this recently and gave a good explanation as to how and why it is done, in their post 'Putting the house to bed'.

Recommendations for renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification - Part 12-1: Selection of lamps and lighting appliances for off-grid electricity systems
IEC TS 62257-12-1:2015(E) applies to lamps and lighting appliances for off-grid electricity systems with the following characteristics: - The power supply is AC or DC: - AC nominal voltages up to 250 V; - DC nominal voltages up to 48 V. The light source is CFL, linear fluorescent, or LED. Operation of the lamp or lighting appliance does not require any components to be supplied by the testing laboratory other than lampholders, wire, connectors, and a power supply. The lamp or lighting appliance does not include a battery or energy source (for example, a photovoltaic module or electromechanical generator). This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: Overall, the narrow focus on the needs of bulk procurement programmes has been shifted to a wider framework for structuring quality assurance using appropriate methods for a range of stakeholders including governments, manufacturers, buyers, and others. The scope has been expanded from self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamps to include DC products and lighting appliances with LED, compact fluorescent, or linear fluorescent light sources. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62257 series .

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State men's hockey senior goalie Mike Betz (Elizabeth, Pa.) has been named the Central Collegiate Hockey Association Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced Monday. Betz backstopped the Buckeyes to a two-game home sweep of Alaska Fairbanks last weekend.
Betz stopped 60-of-64 Nanooks shots in the two-game series. He had 19 saves the first night before posting a 41-save performance Saturday. The 41 saves marked the fourth game of his career he had 40-plus saves, but the first since Oct. 12, 2002. Betz also helped the Buckeyes stop all eight UAF power-play chances in the series.
This marks the second time this season Betz has earned league defensive player of the week honors, as he also was honored Oct. 19. In his career, Betz has been named a league player of the week six times.
Betz leads the CCHA in conference play with a goals-against average of 1.20 and a saves percentage of .958. Overall, he is second in the league with a 2.00 goals-against average and a .927 saves percentage. He is OSU's all-time leader in goalie wins with 61.
The No. 13 Buckeyes (6-3-0, 5-1-0 CCHA) will travel to Marquette, Mich., to face the NMU Wildcats (3-3-0, 2-2-0 CCHA) at 7:35 p.m. Friday and Saturday in Berry Events Center.

- February 22, 2018
- Time
Here's a 2 min 42 sec sneak-peek showing what you can expect from Dr. Nejad's presentation https://youtu.be/39oIt6psrQ8
Matthew A. Nejad, DDS
3 CE Units (Core)
Traditional permanent restoration approaches (amalgam fillings, metal-ceramic crowns, metallic inlay/onlay restorations) do not even remotely restore natural tooth properties or performance, resulting in complications and failures requiring more aggressive and invasive treatments over time. The biomimetic approach mimics natural mechanics, function, and esthetics while preserving the pulp vitality of the tooth.
An intact natural tooth has the perfect combination of properties: dentin, enamel, DEJ. These three uniquely distinct material layers combine to perform incredibly.Dr. Nejad's presentation will enhance your understanding of…
♦ their properties and how they come together to form a strong "biological-bond" creating the basis for ideal restorative treatment objectives
♦ how the intact tooth manages and distributes stresses during function and loading, aids in selecting the best technique to restore strength and performance of the intact tooth as faithfully as possible.
Matthew A. Nejad, DDS graduated UCSC School of Dentistry 2010 where he received advanced training in Adhesive and Biomimetic Dentistry from Pascal Magne. Immediately after graduation, he was invited to teach at USC and currently teaches the Morphology, Function, & Esthetics course directed by his mentor Pascal Magne.
Dr. Nejad's training, research, and dedication to esthetic and biomimetic dentistry have made him an expert on these topics - providing C E and hands-on training courses in Biomimetic Dentistry since 2012. In addition, he has been invited to present at numerous conferences, consults nationally on the development of innovative training materials and product, and operates a successful private practice in Beverly Hills, CA.
Typically posted by the Wednesday preceding a presentation in the Members section of the website under Message Center > Course Handouts.

What would happen to Walter White (Breaking Bad) if he were caught?
Brought to you by our friends at Prime Lawyers in Australia
Now before you read the rest of this article, let me reassure you that there will be no spoilers as to the final series of the excellent 'Breaking Bad' since it's not released on DVD in this country until 25th November. But whilst awaiting that final series, one thing which might occur to the lawyers among the fans of the series is what would happen to Walter White if he were caught?
Well, the first thought might be as to the actual charges he might face and for each country viewing, the lawyers (such as those at Prime Lawyers in Australia) might well be able to list the various offences which might have been committed if he'd been operating in their jurisdiction. So what would he face if he'd been operating in England rather than across the Atlantic? Depending upon the facts and evidence, there would likely be a long list of contenders ranging from murder and other offences of violence through to the production and supply of drugs, namely methamphetamine or crystal meth. He might also face investigation in relation to money laundering offences under Part 7 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 along with other possibilities such as perverting the course of justice.
But really, if we're thinking about what would actually happen to the lead character in this fictional series if he were caught, it'd likely lead to a whole new spin-off series – or two. First off, there'd be the legal proceedings. Well, that's definitely one to entertain the lawyers, particularly when Walt and his sidekick lawyer Saul Goodman would probably go about trying to corrupt the system in one form or another. This might be jury-tampering, it might be corrupting the opposition's lawyers or even targeting the judge. But knowing Walt, it'd probably end up as some sort of an incredibly sophisticated scheme whereby he stole evidence from the other side and destroyed evidence which might cause harm whilst at the same time pitting each of his opponents against each other.
But let's assume that despite his best (or perhaps worst) efforts, he failed and was ultimately sentenced to life in prison. What would happen next? Naturally, he'd set about taking on the prison establishment. The guards and of course the governor. Maybe even the politicians who run the prison service. All through a mixture of corruption such as bribery and the use of and threat of the use of force. In doing so, he'd probably also start to run any illicit business which was going on within the prison itself. In fact he'd probably use one scheme to tame the prison warders as part of a separate scheme to take control of the illicit side.
But that certainly wouldn't satisfy him and I imagine what he'd need would be to escape. But not merely an over the wall type of escape. No, the ego which is Walter White would want to walk out of the prison gates a free man. How on earth he'd do that, only the writers of the series would be able to tell you.
So, what would happen to Walter White if he got caught? He'd do what he's done so far (or as far as I've watched): he'd survive.

Overweight and Obesity
Overweight and obesity are risk factors for Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, some cancers and cardiovascular diseases like heart disease and stroke.
One of the contributing factors of obesity is a diet high in calories. that mean high in fat or high in sugar. In this article, I share tips to help you cut down on sugar, especially added sugar intake, so you can achieve the recommended amount of added sugar in your meals.
For men and women, the recommended amount of sugar added to food, also known as added sugar is at most 70g and 50g, respectively. This recommendation however varies depending on your age, body size and how active you are. To know your exact recommendation, do consult a dietician or nutritionist.
For everyone
When Shopping
- Read food labels to identify what the added sugars in a product are. They are usually shown on the labels as sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose, molasses, hydrolysed starch, invert sugar, corn syrup and honey. When you see the added sugars, check how much of them are contained in the product. A food which contains 22.5g of sugar per 100g of the product is very high in sugar while anything below 5g is low.
- Swap products with high sugar content like fizzy drinks, sweetened fruit juices, and squashes with low sugar ones like natural fruit juices and water. Because you are more likely to reach for those high sugar drinks when they are in your stores, it is a good idea to avoid stocking your food stores with them.
When preparing meals
- For meals such as porridge, cereal and homemade drinks like 'Sobolo' (Bisarp, hibiscus), swap table sugar for chopped fruits and squeezed fruits juices to meet your taste preference. The fruits will not only improve the 'taste' of your food, but also provide you with nutrients such as Vitamin B and C. In the end, you will meet the recommendation of eating 5 portions of fruits and vegetables a day.
- If you drink tea, coffee or chocolate drinks, gradually cut down on the sugar you add till you can drink these beverages without sugar.
- When
thirsty, reach out more for water, natural unsweetened fruit juices, and
less fizzy drinks and sweetened fruit juices, which are high in sugar.
- When looking
for something to munch in between meals, grab a fruit, vegetable, or nut
and avoid toffees and chocolate.
- If you are
the type who likes to eat desserts after a main meal, decide the number of
times in a week or month you will take your desserts. This way you do not
eat dessert every day as this is an unhealthy habit. Also when choosing
your desserts, pick the ones that are low in sugar content.
- When eating high sugar foods such as cakes, ice cream and chocolate, try to eat smaller portions.
For people who have BMI 25 and above / Overweight and Obese people
If you are overweight or obese, you need to take additional steps.
Apart from cutting down on foods high in sugar and fat, you should also do more physical activity, and increase your consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts. Also make it a point to get enough sleep, reduce or cut out alcohol consumption and adopt a no smoking habit.
Keep in mind that a dietician or a nutritionist can design a healthy lifestyle plan for you.
For children
Obesity can occur at any age, so as much as possible, we should not introduce children to foods high in sugar. Children who are given high sugar foods at an early age develop a preference for those sugared foods and thereby increase their risk of obesity and its related problems.
A healthy lifestyle is the best investment anyone can make. We wish you the best in your journey to become a healthier you in 2015

After he was allegedly clocked going 118 mph in a 70 mph zone, a 46-year-old man was arrested in Brazos County around 10 p.m. Monday. The arresting officer eventually arrested the man on suspicion of DWI. Because he has previous DWI convictions, the charge is a third-degree felony,
The officer reported that after he pulled the driver over, he could smell the odor of alcohol and noticed that the driver's eyes were bloodshot.
The officer has claimed that the man told him he had had four beers that night and "wanted to see what his car could do." The officer then searched the man's car and supposedly found a half-empty whiskey bottle, several empty beer bottles and an empty beer container.
Supposedly, the man also had an ignition interlock device on his vehicle and told the officer that if he turned his car off, he would not be able to restart it. If the man actually did say that, then it would seem to indicate that he had done the drinking while he was driving (as opposed to before he got behind the wheel).
At this stage, we have to treat everything as a mere allegation rather than a fact. But if all is as the law enforcement officer says it is, then it seems this man has a real problem with alcohol. If previous DWI convictions and an ignition interlock device cannot stop him from driving and drinking, then he seriously needs help and must not be receiving it.

Our end of summer mini getaway was amazing! Although we were only away for 4 sleeps and 5 days, it was quite refreshing for everyone. What a great way to end the summer!
We also crossed a few things off of our Summer Must Do List!
4. Go swimming
20. Have ice cream for dinner
21. Go to the movies
29. Feed the ducks
35. Make homemade lemonade
42. Have a Family Game Night
And just for fun…
30. Make S'mores – Take 2
We've gone swimming a lot this summer. Pools, beaches, lakes, bathtubs…you name it, and my kids will swim in it. I think Lake Manitouwabing may just be their favorite though. This past getaway the girls were perfecting their Ninja Jumps, a little something sparked by the TV show American Ninja Warrior. So talented. Who needs to bother saving for post secondary education? No us!
"Ice cream for dinner?" they said. "Seriously?" they said. Ab. So. Lutely. Its a once-a-summer treat for the kids, and it means mom doesn't have to cook. Double bonus. If you ever in the area, we highly recommend the Kawartha Dairy ice cream stand in Dunchurch. The cone I'm holding is the kiddie cone. Best $2 you'll ever spend. I promise.
Friday of our vacation was a little wet, so we thought we'd take in a movie. I'm sure you can't tell from the picture, but this is the Parry Sound Movie Theatre. Its…um…quaint…and it's only $5 a seat 🙂 We saw Monsters University because the kids had already seen World War Z. Kidding!!
Plus, where else can you get a YARD OF POPCORN? Another must try when in Parry Sound.
We knocked off #29 without even trying. We're fortunate enough that our lakefront is frequented by ducks all summer. We see the ducklings as soon as they're ready to swim, and we get to watch them grow up over the months. So adorable!
When life gives you lemons…you should make your own lemonade!! That's what we did – check off #35! Another delicious one on our list!
Something we do frequently already is play games as a family. In the fall I'm hoping the cooler temperatures will force us to do more of it. The girls are getting much better at understanding rules and no crying when I kick their butts. Here we are playing LIFE, which, strangely, is nothing like life at all…
We also broke out a deck of cards, Uno, Trouble and Sorry!. Most of the games were won by Elizabeth, but at least she's a polite winner…or the absolute opposite…
Remember how my first attempt to woo the girls over to the s'more lovers side didn't quite go as I had planned? Well there is no stopping me when I get an idea in my little head! So, here is Operation: S'mores: Part 2. Mini marshmallows, mini Hersey's Kisses, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. I call it "Deconstructed S'mores" and they loved it!! Plus, its portable! Win one for Mommy!
Yet another northern getaway well spent with plenty of memories made. I could get used to this…
Thanks for checking in on us, come back soon!

Becky Lynch spoke with Digital Spy on a series of wrestling topics. Here are some of a highlights:
If a women's multiplication took a step behind since they don't have a Hell in a Cell compare this year:
"No, we don't consider so, personally. Say for instance we had Bray Wyatt in Hell in Cell final year – we know he's not in a division, though if he's not in a Hell in a Cell compare this year, it's not a step backwards. Not for him or for a code or for a company. It's only a rotation. You can't overdo it, as well. Or do it for a consequence of, 'Oh there's a Women's Revolution so they have to have a Hell in a Cell match.' we consider that's rapacious during straws and that's forcing things. Unfortunately, Charlotte and Natalya, they haven't had a longest storyline in this business going into Hell in a Cell. Charlotte has a new impression and Natalya has a new impression and we're saying a opposite component of both of them. To put them into a Hell in a Cell right off a bat, where do we go from there? So no, we don't consider it's a step retrograde during all to not have a women's Hell in a Cell match."
Not being on a Hell in a Cell card:
"To me, it always feels like a missed goal. we feel like I'm on a football field, I'm a striker and we missed a goal. In WWE things always change and there's still hope, though you've only got to learn to float it. You always wish to be on tip and we always wish to be carrying pay-per-view matches and we always wish to be carrying classics. That's always my idea and my aspiration – keep a eye of a tiger and keep looking forward. Who knows? By this time subsequent year, we could have categorical evented WrestleMania with a Four Horsewomen. You've always got to keep your eye set on a ultimate goal."

Sometimes the universe points its giant finger in your face and says, "I haven't forgotten about you."
Negative attention is still attention.
Today, my email account got hacked. A few years ago, my messenger bag got stolen. I forgot to lock the car door; I forgot to change my email password. I felt violated, disoriented, angry — sure — but most of all, I felt special.
If imitation is a form of flattery, what is theft?
And every time I stop thinking about something in particular, I start thinking about Blue Valentine. I was listening to an interview with the director and he was saying how things don't always happen for a reason, characters don't always have motivations, people fall out of love and they don't know why. It's arrogant to think we understand why people do the things they do, he said.
The barista said I threw her off, not coming in this past week. She never knew when it was 8am. I said, I come here so much I should get paid, I'm practically a piece of furniture. How much does that chair make? I should make at least as much as that chair. She said, One day you'll stop coming in, and I'll have to buy a watch. I said, I guess that's true.

The nominations for the Academy Awards are now out and most Oscar nominated films are still playing in local theaters. On the list are many of the films that we've predicted would make the cut and on March 2, the world will know the winners. With Gravity and American Hustle tying for the most awards at 10 each, it seems likely that these films will take home several Oscars —- even though some of the other films had better performances.
And oftentimes, prior Oscar awards shows seem to help to predict Oscar winners, so anybody that won a Golden Globe will probably also be in line to collect an Oscar for their collection. Until then, here is a list of the major categories, some of which you can catch at the Pasadena ArcLight and the local Laemmle Playhouse 7—including the foreign films, which I still plan to see.

If you are someone who is not satisfied with the attitude of their boss, colleague or cheating boyfriend or girlfriend or simple do not like credit bandits or defaulters than Repo Revenge is just the service you want. Then Sector Minister Kim Carr said there was not adequate time to ratify a new deal on the updated enterprise case with Holden before the 2013 election. Even deep Tesla skeptics contact this demand unprecedented There basically may possibly be no example of a new automobile attracting as a lot interest in more than a century of automative history. The car industry – a important component of manufacturing output and employment – has struggled to adapt to structural financial modify in the Australian and world economies. Until then, we remember the Howmet TX, the world's most productive turbine race car.
There are smarter ways to devote your funds, and if you have some money backup, measuring the worth of your automobile against full coverage insurance coverage is a smart factor to do. Not only that, a a lot older automobile can often be less costly to fix if it doesn't have a million computer systems or other electronics – or is exotic in some way. They are coming up with new safety functions in order to keep ahead of the industry.
If you can't locate any visible leaks, the leak has to be internal, unless it's leaking into your car by means of the heater core, but that would be apparent. Though the organization had been founded by the German government, in the 1960s the government divested itself of 60 {ff89e439a7ec86ff255b79c2d677ed128ac7b75589a9c191102c936eb5fdf631} of its interest by promoting stock to the public, an unusual case of denationalization in an era when nationalization of sector was far far more common.
Because then the business has been extant soured to move the equivalent earnings power prices and Yen blessing against the rupee but drunk farm revenue is sharing some hold to vehicle revenue. The spreading of over-capacity or under-capacity threat leads firms to disregard solution or market place considerations and enter into joint ventures and partial acquisitions. And the far more scandals surround the classic auto fuels, like gasoline, lpg and diesel oil, the larger the chance is that modern fuels" like hydrogen and electrical energy will win the rat race within the car industry.
Each the Gorham/Lila and Otomo businesses were at this time the only two Japanese auto producers – though Gorham was financed by US aircraft engineer William R. Gorham (therefore the non-Japanese-sounding organization name). The ultimate aim of managed decline is to get the business to the point where its full destruction would be much less economically damaging and more politically palatable. Warren Buffett, the world's third richest particular person, lost $3.6bn in final week's market slump.

Absorbing the news is a lot of work; you have to cut through partisanship, big words, and Wolf Blitzer's face. Let me break it down into the bare facts. Here's today's front page for the Drudge Report. After the jump is the translation, provided by yours truly.

Dear Celebs: The Heroically Super Edition
Dear Wonder Woman Marketing Team.
Which one of you geniuses thought this was a good idea?
You've made someone who's supposed to be a warrior, diplomat, and in the TV series, a CEO look like she bought her costume off the rack of a Halloween store that specializes in "sexy costumes" (see also: whore). Read the rest of this entry

I Got Your Crossover Right Here *Points to Crotch*
I hate crossovers in comics.
That's not true. I like the small ones. A story that take place across all the Avengers' titles or the X-Titles, or the now shitload of Green Lantern titles doesn't have to be a bad thing, because they're usually relevant, and sometimes move actual plot and characterization forward, plus, and this is the big one, I can follow along in the actual titles I buy month to month, and not worry about having to pick up a mini-series or a one-shot to keep up with the event. All the X-titles crossing over makes sense. If Apocalypse or, more recently, Dracula, showed up, why wouldn't you call for help?
But, Lord, do I hate company-wide crossovers. Read the rest of this entry
All Life is Sacred to God: A Perspective, by Billy the Pro-life Dinosaur
And hello. My name is Billy. Billy the pro-life dinosaur.
You might recognize me from such films as Jurassic Park, and Jurassic Park II. Also, Jurassic Park III.
And I'd to talk to you about abortion.
I have seen the film early for the benefit of us all. Earlier in the week, Mr. Chad Quandt wrote an article regarding his concerns with the film Sucker Punch. It can be read here. Go ahead. Read it. I'll wait.
You didn't even click it. You dick. Alright, let me paraphrase. In general, Chad is concerned with the turn that nerd culture has taken. Our rabid love for all thing's nerdy has begun to be used against us, specifically by Hollywood. To sell us on movies, tv (no one fell for the "The Cape," right? Thank God), or people that are without question, sub par. In the case of people, Chad has named the astoundingly hot, yet wholly untalented Olivia Munn as the epitome of nerd pandering. I can't say I disagree. But comparing what she does to Sucker Punch is a bit of a stretch. Read the rest of this entry
Throw Your Money Away: "eBay Roulette"
Anyone can get a gun now and there's nothing dangerous about them; we have medicine to remove bullets. So there's really no reason to go sit in a dark, smoke-filled basement and gamble with your life in a game of Russian Roulette.
What is something to hold dear? Your credit. That is what eBay Roulette is for; a game of chance, danger, and slight price gauging that will keep you on the edge of your computer chair. You might also accidentally end up with Hobo Hummel figurines. Read the rest of this entry

This simple exercise, if practiced five days a week, will enable a man who possesses, for example, a six-inch erect penis, to add from between one to three inches to the length of his penis (measured at the top, from tip to pelvis) and it will grow in circumference proportionately. Little or no growth may be apparent for approximately one month. During the second or third month an increase of two or more inches will not be uncommon.
1 - When your penis becomes SEMI-ERECT, make the American "A-OK" sign with the thumb and forefinger of your left hand. With this hand, grip tightly around the base of your penis.Ā ĀĀĀ
2 - Now starting from the base, pull the penis gently but firmly. Stretch downward and outward. You should still be in a semi-erect state. Make sure to touch the penis all the way from the base to the head. Note that the head of your penis expands with blood.
3 - Switch to the right hand and do the same thing, starting from the base and stretching downward to the head. Alternate both hands in a smooth rhythmic ("milking") motion, touching upon every part of the penis except the very top part of the penis head.
Do 200-300 strokes/day at medium strength for the first week. (10 minutes)
Do 300-500 strokes/day at medium-full strength for the next week. Ā(15 minutes)
Do 500 or more strokes/day from then on, and as strong as you can make them. Ā(20 minutes)
If you find yourself getting an erection during this exercise, squeeze harder to discourage it or simply wait until it subsides. You can encourage circulation afterward by slapping your penis up and down 25 - 50 times. Perform this exercise 5 days a week. Remember to keep your penis only partially erect. If you feel ejaculation coming on, pause milking until the urge subsides. This is itself an exercise... one of self-control.
1 - Apply lubrication to the flaccid penis from the hilt to the head.
2 - Using only the thumb and forefinger, stretch the penis downward and slightly outward. Be gentle, but firm.
3 - Alternate hands, one then the other, in a "milking action".
4 - Keep performing gently until a certain amount of swelling develops, then perform the action a bit more firmly and forcibly.
5 - Repeat this action 100 times.
For the first ten days, take it relatively easy. Gradually though, you should be performing 200 repetitions. These exercises are the same for both circumcised and uncircumcised men. It will be noticed that the head (or glans) becomes extremely red and that it will swell considerably. This is normal and good, and is due to the forcing of blood to that area.
This is the "Dry" version of Jelqing. Similar to Techniques 1 and 2, but without the lubrication.
In "dry" milking, you squeeze and pull the skin, but you don't slide your fingers over the skin. As the penis becomes too large to cover in one stroke, work on the base and middle of the shaft separately.
Some guys like to milk "dry" in the morning before getting out of bed (when testosterone levels are the highest.) If you find your penis is getting sore, take a day off.
Apply lubrication to your penis, rubbing all over. With your penis in a 1/2 state of erection, rub a little more Vaseline into your palms. Take your left hand and make an "ok" symbol with your thumb and forefinger. Then take your thumb and forefinger and grip tightly around the base of your penis. Keeping a tight grip, slide your hand down to the head of your penis, pulling as you go (the head of your penis expands as you do this). Repeat with your right hand, and continue over and over, one hand then the other. Keep this movement going at a medium to fast pace.
For the first week or so, only jelq 100-200 repetitions (about 10 minutes). After the first week, try to work up to 20 minutes each day. Remember to keep your penis only partially erect. If you feel ejaculation coming on, pause until the urge subsides.
This is also know an the Tao technique. This works for men who want a bigger "mushroom" head on their penis. It's essentially the same as Technique One, except performed slower and more gently.Ā
Use your fingers to push the blood up to your penis head and create some sustained pressure. Hold that position momentarily (approximately 10 seconds.). This will expand the capacity of your head to take in more blood, in the end creating a bell or mushroom shape. You can also squeeze the shaft to make the blood engorge in the head. Once it's hard, you can release the squeeze. Repeat as many times as you wish (but don't exceed 10 minutes).
