Academic accommodation consists of arrangements that allow a student with a disability a fair opportunity to engage in academic activities and fulfill essential course and program requirements.
Accommodation does not remove essential requirements of a course or program. It does not fundamentally alter content of exams, standards for assigning grades, or requirements that students independently demonstrate their knowledge of course material.
The following are examples of accommodations:
An accommodation is a response to unique challenges that a student faces given his or her disability and particular program requirements. Because of the individualized nature of accommodation, students and prospective students are encouraged to meet with an SSD counsellor to obtain information about specific accommodations and services that may be available to them.

UN throws a spotlight on slums for Habitat Day
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says world leaders must give a voice to communities living in informal settlements, as the UN marks World Habitat Day today, 6 October 2014.
In a statement ahead of World Habitat Day (commemorated annually on the first Monday in October), Ki-moon said there was concern about growing communities that endure often squalid conditions as they migrate toward cities in order to survive.
"In some parts of sub-Saharan Africa, as many as 70% of urban dwellers live in slums and informal settlements. [They] live in near-anonymity – no address, no census and no idea when their living conditions will improve. They regularly lack basic services such as water, sanitation, electricity and street lighting. Crime is often endemic, with women and girls particularly at risk. Unemployment, underemployment and the cost of transport to distant places of work add further hardship," he said.
Ki-moon said it was crucial for policymakers to give a voice to shack-dwellers, as their experiences could help shape urban development in a sustainable way.
In South Africa, the National Department of Human Settlements is marking the day with the launch of a campaign to build homes for military veterans. Human Settlements Minister Lindiwe Sisulu said the department aims to build more than 5 000 homes over the next three years.
"It is our intention to clear the backlog of all military veterans who seek houses and shelter in less than three years. We will be launching projects in all nine provinces; we want to build them decent houses to restore their dignity and to honour their contribution to our freedom. This is a national priority," the Minister said in a statement.
The UN estimates that there are already a billion people living in slums across the world, with many likely to face the impact of climate change, as their homes are unlikely to withstand the effects of landslides, floods and earthquakes.
UN Habitat has released a series of lectures on the way that the challenge of informal settlements is being tackled across the world.

Infinite Little Somethings
Ingrid Schaffner's essay, Doing Nothing, is a little hard to link to, but kind of worth the hunt. Click here, then find pages 34-40 and be sure to click on the little icon that makes the text appear at a readable size.
She is writing about her group exhibit, The Big Nothing, at the ICA in 2004, which framed modernism in terms of leisure and "doing nothing". This makes art into a reductive quest for essence. Schaffner's essay is interesting because it puts current practice into historical perspective. Contemporary art continues in the Gertrude Stein vein, focusing on leisure and nothingness, I think for the same reductive reasons. But the structure of this relationship--the individual's relationship to the world and truth--has utterly changed. No wonder art is suffering from a relevancy problem!
I don't know about you, but I look out on a world that denies essence-finding, that is not about Truth, that is not about doing nothing at all anymore--doing nothing has become a manner and a trap. Doing nothing is what the credit card companies expect you to do when they raise your interest rate to 30% for no good reason, and what the cellphone company expects you to do when they seem to bury an incorrect $15 charge inside the thicket of your bill every single month. Doing nothing is SUVs and corn syrup and not understanding what the WTO even is. And doing nothing doesn't even really exist! People work too much, take work emails at home and spend way too much time on little portable devices that require you to divide your attention. A small number of powerful people are depending upon the powerlessness of doing nothing, not so that they can directly enslave you, but so that you can enslave yourself using their products: "exotic mortgage", useless health insurance paired with get-tough bankrupcy law, exurban lifestyle.
That ambiguity--the surreal quality of America today--is all about the inappropriateness and fakeness of our leisure. What can we do to save America from terrorists? Go shopping! All the blackberry ads promised that this thing came with a hammock and a beach!
What is one powerless individual to do in the face of this madness? Do something. Something that admits your powerlessness, the fact that the world is nodal--not monolithic.
Shane Hope.
There is no big thing to uncover, no one Truth to relate to. The fact is that power is in a million little do-nothing bargains that are designed to please you as they enslave you. It's Brave New World, not 1984, and nobody is centrally organizing the new corporate feudalism--there is no Them. Freedom and truth, as well as their absences, are transactional in this landscape.
There is power in this confusion, but the power is not about ego and direct relationships with the big anything.

You'd have to be the most irrational or dishonest supporter of Zuma or of the ANC if you were to conclude that today was a victory for Zuma or a victory for the ANC. That view is untenable.
Zuma survived the no confidence vote, ultimately, for one major reason (there are minor reasons too but leave those for now): one major reason was a reasonable (even if not unanswerable) fear among some anti-Zuma ANC MPs that the party will implode the morning after a no confidence vote as a result of zero consensus on who should take care in the interim, coupled with a related fear that, since Zuma remains the party president until December, he can wreak havoc inside the NEC trying to ensure both that those who voted him out don't get returned to interim government positions including the few reliable members the Executive, and him being out of government means having even more opportunity to campaign for (and maybe even rigging the processes for) a Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma win in December.
That view is not wholly convincing. But it is coherent and reasonable. If there was clear consensus on this post-Zuma question, he would have been gone today.
That means in real terms that Zuma remains weak and worse: the maths today confirms that he is OFFICIALLY weakened and that the ANC spin about unity is now in shreds.
Despite the strident spontaneous speech from Zuma this evening, the outcome of the vote was not a demonstration and affirmation of confidence in him.
Notice how not ONE SINGLE ANC MP who spoke delivered any argument for the view that Zuma is doing a decent job as president. They all misdirected the debate intentionally to avoid the impossible burden of making a case for having confidence in Zuma.
So, really, most ANC MPs and most factions want him out: there is simply reasonable disagreement about the mechanism, the roadmap in the short term & whether it is better to keep the ruinous figure there while trying to do a little bit inside government for the poor or risk not being returned to government as, say, a member of the Executive.
I don't buy this myself. I think the state capture project is so patently anti-poor and deeply anti-democratic that the perceived uncertainty about an interim government is a low risk compared to the guaranteed sustained and gigantic economic and political cost of one more day of Zuma as president.
But the nexus point is that many ANC MPs who voted "No" today did not do so out of support for Zuma.
In the end today was a huge boost for the opposition parties and for democracy because the prospects of a more competitive body politic became stronger as we can see from the deep open fissures in the ANC now on public display.
All the political actors will claim victories today. The full truth lies somewhere between their respective exaggerated readings of what the result occasions.
Zuma will not survive for more than six months still. The ANC however had better hope and pray that the state is not a carcass by then in which case their 8th August 2017 concern about when and how to get rid of him could cost them 2019 because you cannot build a new functioning state within one year of a general election looming.
No ANC supporter with a head (or two) on their shoulder can celebrate. You have work today. Imminently

STORY FROM: Asbestos
5th Circuit Reiterates Position on Negligence Claims and Federal Jurisdiction in Asbestos Cases
May 7, 2018
NEW ORLEANS –– The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has reiterated its position on the relation between negligence claims and federal jurisdiction in asbestos cases, finding that a District Court was correct in finding the underlying claims belonged in state court.
In a May 1 opinion, the 5th Circuit backed its prior holding that in the absence of a showing that it was barred from adopting safety measures that allegedly could have prevented the underlying injuries, the removing defendant had failed to establish federal jurisdiction.
Plaintiff Robert Templet Sr. asserted the underlying claims, contending that he ...

About the bedroom, we already know almost everything, even the one where it is better to sleep your head, and were – with your feet. About such trifles as bedding and lighting, even talking awkwardly, it's already, in my opinion, in kindergartens explain. But with "public places" there is still some uninformed. If you believe the Chinese and masters of feng shui, in this case, incompetence is the guarantee of unhappiness.
After all, what is a bathroom ? This is not a room with two earthenware containers (bigger and smaller), "successfully" combined with a storage room for dirty laundry. The bathroom is the place where we "open our eyes" to ourselves and the world every morning, create our own mood for the day, and often shape our image. Washing off the remains of evening cream and traces of nightmares, the water returns us to the state of "here and now", including in the cycle of the surrounding world.
In the evenings in the bathroom, we do the reverse operation: remove the "emotional masks" adhered for a day, wash off the energy dirt, again becoming almost innocent babies. The bathroom is a corner in an apartment where a woman can afford to be herself. Therefore, in this place it is important to create a realm of harmony, maintaining cleanliness and order. In short, the bathroom is our everything, and this "everything" must be impeccable. Then the hostess will not only be good, but very good.
In the bathroom, energy flows are bubbling: purifying, rejuvenating, toning, or vice versa – relaxing. And if the bathroom interior is favourable, the result is obvious. And on your face. The best companion for the element Water is the element Metal – shiny nickel-plated or chrome-plated taps and mixers, the mirrors in the metal framework many times enhance the positive properties of the invigorating shower or the bath. Naturally, the cranes should not flow, because leaks will lead to unmotivated tears and money losses. No wonder in China they say: "Water has given – water has taken".
You can increase the strength of Water at the expense of a suitable colour: blue, aquamarine, blue. But black is not recommended for a bathroom – it is too "greedy": it takes away not only our troubles but our cheerfulness. Also not suitable and fiery red: too conflicted and disturbing, it is more suitable for the kitchen. Green softens the riot of the water element, making it soft and harmonious. Green slippers, a rug or bathrobe will not be in the bathroom unwanted guests. And the green plumbing is generally super and the highest class.
Putting the order on the shelves in the bathroom, you simultaneously sort your sources of income, make financial receipts more clear and stable. Facilitate the possibility of "getting out of the water" in unpleasant situations. But the clogs and muddy rusty water from the tap only increase the likelihood of stressful situations.
But in the bathroom, besides the bathrooms, laundry procedures are also made. We clean our clothes not only from physical pollution but also from the emotional, astral and mental "tails" that adhered to it during socks. Releasing clothes from "attachment" to us, we remove from the body the accumulated negative information. Accordingly, if the bathroom mountains of dirty laundry, but still in sight, the atmosphere of this room, and behind her and the whole apartment, soaked in obsolete and unnecessary information. So if you do not want to disentangle other people's troubles, do not forget to wash your own dirty laundry in time.
The waters of time are often not just a metaphor. Every woman, except for external and passport age, has her own internal, personal mechanism of ageing. It largely depends on the emotions, stresses and energy information surrounding our body. Clean, invigorating streams of water and there are those most invisible rivers of life flowing through your apartment, rejuvenating and revitalizing. The pool, the river, the sea – this, of course, is absolutely wonderful, but not everyone can afford to bathe in them, and not always. A shower, a bathroom with aromatic additives, foams, oils – at least fill in the literal and figurative meaning of the word.
By the way, lovers of beautiful life can now feel like a "fatal woman" without leaving the bathroom. There are foam baths with a scent … champagne. So for the very modest money, you can deliver yourself such a pleasure, and then, on occasion, casually notice: "That's when I was drunk in champagne …" Truly: two pleasures in one bottle!
Many healers recommend a contrast shower when the mental state worsens. Hardening with water is a well-known procedure. Water is not only a symbol of the turnover of money in society, it also creates a sense of health in one's own body. Where then a healthy spirit arises. So, leaving the bathroom, turn with kind wishes to your body, so that it gets a fresh charge of vivacity. Tell yourself, aloud or mentally, how well you feel, and you will feel young and beautiful always.

The most perfect TV shows ever made
Ranking television shows has been a popular pastime for just about as long as we've had TV, but as much fun as it can be to argue over the best of the boob tube, there's rarely an objective way to truly determine which series deserve to be on top. Between the hundreds of different people involved to a show's production and marketing, on top of the thousands of factors involved in the show itself, it's a miracle that any television show ever gets made at all. When a show is good, it's easy to smooth over the tiny flaws in the story or moments of weak acting, but when everything goes just right, some shows come together like an alchemic reaction to make sheer viewing gold. All of which is to say that your list is probably different — and ours might well be tomorrow — but for the moment, these are our picks for the most perfect TV shows ever made.

Governance in Land Administration Study - LGAF
The objective of this assignment was threefold, namely to (i) develop, based on a comprehensive review of available conceptual and empirical literature, a conceptual framework and use this to define indicators for assessing good governance in land administration and management and a methodology to apply this framework empirically to four countries; (ii) organize a workshop to discuss these outputs with other stakeholders in a public forum that would include country and regional representatives and make changes as appropriate; (iii) conduct the four country case studies using Peru as a pilot study, followed by studies in Indonesia, Kyrgyz Republic, and Tanzania with summaries of the results in country-specific reports. Once these were approved, prepared a final report the content of which was presented at a conference in Washington DC in March 2009.
Designed and delivered a presentation at World Bank in November 2007. Drafted a conceptual framework. Conducted wide consultations with World Bank staff in Washington DC, and moderated a two week online forum to gain broad public input on the Conceptual Framework draft. LEI were also responsible for organising two regional workshops in 2008 to collaborate with case study coordinators and land administration specialists on the indicator framework and case study methodology. The key staff of LEI also provided full coordination and responsibility of case study implementation and preparation of a global synthesis report and recommendations presented in March 2009.

There is an article in a conservative/libertarian on-line journal called The Federalist that is headlined: "Signs Liberalism's Slow Suicide Is Finally Complete." The author, conservative journalist Robert Tracinski makes a stab at tying modern progressivism all the way back to John Stuart Mill in 19th century England but I'm not really sure that he understand the basic tenets of either liberalism, as Mill defined it, or of utilitarianism which he conflates with Mill's liberalism.
But, his central thesis, that modern, 21st century ultra-progressives, are killing liberalism (however it is defined) has merit. His examples, including that Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists who recently shouted down a speaker from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), shows, yet again, that the progressives are fragmented, by identity politics and by the people that James Poulos called "identitarians," and the fragments cannot make common cause so, almost in despair, they turn on each other as well as on those they call racists and fascists and the privileged.
Progressivism has been associated, since at least the 1940s, with Marxism ~ see e.g. Jean-Paul Sartre, Sylvia Pankhurst, Max Horkheimer and, in Canada, Robert and James Laxer (père et fils) Judy Rebick and Dan Heap.
Progressivism, in America, was spurred, to some extent, in the 1940s, by Jews who were concerned (obviously) with anti-Semitism but, also, with racial inequality, and who, in large measure, led the US civil right movement in the 1950s and into the 1960s. But, starting in the late 1960s, blacks began to turn on Jews, in some part because some black intellectuals (e.g. Harold Cruse) attacked Jews precisely because they had been leaders in the civil rights movement, denying blacks, he said, the opportunity to lead their own liberation movement. That split foreshadowed what is happening today ~ black activists, like Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad pushed a heady mix of black power and a sort of Afro-centric notion of Islam which further deepened the divide between the new progressive identitarians and the Jews. By the 1990s black rioters were specifically targeting Jewish and Korean owned shops in their unrepressed rage against "the man."
While anyone can, and should, sympathize with the root cause behind Black Lives Matter ~ too many young men of colour (and here, in Canada, young aboriginal men) are in prison or dead by drugs, crime and, yes, police bullets ~ that root cause is NOT white, much less Jewish, racism or police violence (although the ongoing militarization of the police is worrisome to me, personally), it is public indifference and lack of equality of opportunity which is, in some part, grounded in weak (aboriginal, black, etc) community leadership. So long as community leaders demand only immediate equality of outcome rather than working for equality of opportunity there will be a measurable inequality gap between the (shrinking) mainstream and minority communities.
But identity has overtaken causes and now, for example, gays and feminists are reluctant to criticize e.g Da'esh/ISIL/ISIS for enslaving women and murdering gays for the "crime" of being gay because they might offend the Arabs or Palestinians or, even worse, be seen to be siding with America or, worst of all, Israel, but they are not afraid to exclude e.g. gay police officers from a gay pride parade because Black Lives Matter demands it … it is all about identity.
Conservatives are not immune … even though the conservatives were never as coherent and popular as the progressives were in the 1950d and 1960s. But there are deep divisions in those elements of the political spectrum that are not over on the Marxist/"identitarian"/über-progressive left: some people are so-called "big-government conservatives" (a concept that I, personally, find self-contradictory but e.g. US President George W. Bush did not) others, especially in the USA, are strict constructionists on legal and constitutional matters, while others are fiscal hawks but socially moderate, even progressive, and still others are just angry (and frightened) old white men. The divisions in our society ~ progressive, liberal, independent and conservative, alike ~ are real and often deep. One problem is that identitarians cannot see or refuse to accept that others have deeply, honestly help values and views. Good political leaders will work to bridge the gaps, not, as Justin Trudeau does, to pit one value against another.
Black Lives Matter, just as one example, is a symptom, not a disease; ditto the American Civil Liberties Union, which we, should all devoutly hope, should not need to exit at all; they are both symptoms of the divisions that need to be bridged … not eliminated, just bridged. Prime Minister Trudeau is correct in saying that our diversity makes us stronger … but only if we respect the entire range of our diversity, including the diversity if our honest opinions; if, as he appears to do, leaders take sides then they weaken our society by trying to force us all into one mould. Islamophobia, as another example, is not a crime … it, too, is a symptom of a society that is, constantly, adapting to change, and change is not always easy. In the 16th and 17th centuries religious intolerance divided much of the world (and sometimes that "intolerance" was backed by brute force); in the and 19th 20th centuries race was the cause of much turmoil and cruel bloodshed; now identity, itself, seems to be culprit.
Canada needs community and political leadership that can help us to transcend the siren song of the identitarians and, instead, fight our socio-political battles on more sensible grounds.

Christ Crowning Two Bishop Saints
6th century
South apse, Euphrasian Basilica, Poreč, Croatia
The inscription on the right identifies the figure as St. Severus, a poor man in 4th-century Ravenna who went with his wife to observe the election of a new bishop. When he arrived at the church a white dove landed three times on his shoulders, so the people elected him. Years later, when he was about to die he peacefully closed himself into his grave and expired. The day was February 1, now his feast day. His story is published in the Acta Sanctorum, February vol. 1, 79-91.
At the time when the basilica was built Poreč was part of the Ostrogothic kingdom, whose capital was Ravenna. This probably explains why this church would be honoring a bishop from the other side of the Adriatic.
The bishop portrayed on the right may also be a Ravennan. The inscription has been lost, however. Some websites identify the figure as St. Ursus of Ravenna; others suggest other names. Without an inscription or attribute it is impossible to know.

Jerre Redecker: Reporter revisits Iraq; sports writer gets radio gig
August was a busy month for Olympian news staffers. First, in a case of either good or bad timing, depending on your point of view, Adam Ashton, military reporter for The Olympian and The News Tribune, went to Baghdad as a correspondent for the Washington, D.C., bureau of our company, McClatchy.
Ashton spent four months in Iraq on assignments in 2008 and 2009. In the spring of 2012, he spent a month and a half with Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldiers in Afghanistan.
This time, he was not embedded. He lived and worked in a Baghdad hotel with a driver and translator he's known for six years. They got out and about in the city as much as possible.
"I wanted to see what Iraq looks like three years after the last large U.S. forces left the country. I appreciate their sacrifices much more after spending the past four years covering the Army and Air Force at Joint Base Lewis-McChord," Ashton told his editors.
"My first impression is that the city itself is more open than when I saw it last in 2009. I noticed far fewer checkpoints and some new storefronts in Baghdad's Karrada neighborhood. Two wedding celebrations took place beneath my hotel window, showing that someone has hope for the future.
"That said, we had to take a circuitous route to the hotel because of road closures stemming from a deadly car bomb. And I heard the rumble of a car bomb just a couple hours after settling in."
It's an important job, and, as the horrific news of the murder of journalist James Foley illustrates, a dangerous one. As much as we appreciate his work there, we are grateful he is safely home.
Back at home, Olympian preps reporter Meg Wochnick is taking her expertise to the airwaves.
Meg was hired at The Olympian in 2007 after graduating from Pacific Lutheran University and interning at The Olympian. She has become the source for local sports coverage in South Sound. She now juggles her duties as the newspaper's sports writer with her new gig of sports radio talk show host on KGY's "Red Zone Talk."
KGY approached Meg after she wrote about the station dropping its high school football and basketball play-by-play coverage. A local businessman, Greg Kero, founder and CEO of Olympia's A Street Investment and a Timberline High School graduate, read the story, and wanted to keep high school sports on KGY in some capacity. That's when the idea was sprung about Meg hosting a weekly show.
"Meg has a long history of covering area sports for The Olympian newspaper and is a well-respected reporter," Kero said.
Listen for it Fridays at 8:30 a.m. on KGY 95.3 FM.
Still speaking of sports, it's football season!
You'll notice plenty of stories by Gregg Bell, new Seattle Seahawks beat writer. Bell's coverage appears in The Olympian and The News Tribune.
Bell was director of writing for the University of Washington athletic department. Before that, he was a senior national sports writer for The Associated Press, working in its Seattle bureau. He also covered the Oakland Raiders and Athletics for The Sacramento Bee.
Bell is an Ohio native and a West Point graduate and has a master's degree in journalism from the University of California at Berkeley.
And another new face, Amelia Dickson, is joining The Olympian news staff to cover police and courts. She's a Western Washington native and a graduate of the University of Washington.
While at UW, she was a reporting intern during the legislative session, where she caught the attention of our Capitol bureau staff. Dickson has been working at the Daily World in Aberdeen, writing about local government, the Legislature, business and crime. You might be able to find her at trivia night at an Olympia brew pub, with a team of journalists, including Adam Ashton.
We're out there, covering the news you need. Thanks for reading.

TRANSIT TO SCORPIO by Alan Burt Akers
Click on cover to go to Amazon.
When I was a teen, one of the best book series I ever discovered was Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series. I've since reread A Princess of Mars to my youngest son, and taken him along for the tour of the deserts that till the dead world of Mars as Burroughs saw it. Burroughs actually set out to envision Mars as current day science (1912) saw it. Of course, a lot of it is wrong, but the books are a lot of fun. My son enjoyed the first one, and we're both looking forward to the movie next year.
During my high school years, I also found another "interplanetary romance" series, as they were called, that I enjoyed as much as Burroughs. The Dray Prescot series was written by Kenneth Bulmer, a science fiction author I had also read in the old Ace Doubles, under the pen name Alan Burt Akers. I thought the books were fabulous, and Prescot's world of Kregen was much more diversified and explored than Burroughs ever did with Mars. Although, to be fair, Burroughs did take John Carter to the Martian moons and fight giants from Jupiter.
I love the character of Dray Prescot. He's a fighting man that served aboard Lord Nelson's Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. Bulmer also wrote another series that I loved under the name Adam Hardy about an English seaman called George Ambercrombie Fox, and I think this was a tip of the hat to that. But the history also made a strong character in Dray.
The first book, Transit to Scorpio, is pretty much a step by step guide as to how to write interplanetary romances. Hero has adventures, seems on the point of death, and gets mysteriously transported to another world. Some of the mystery gets taken out of the journey, though, and Dray is revealed to be a potential champion of the Savanti, a race that no one on the rest of Kregen knows much about.
Dray being Dray, he champions a young woman: Delia, Delia of Delphond, Delia of the Blue Mountains. He acts in her best interests and breaks a taboo with the Savanti, then ends up getting sent back to Earth. I loved these little episodic breaks that happen in the series as Dray reappears on our world. We get to see some of the history roll by, and we see what Dray thinks of things.
Since Dray has been gifted with a thousand years of life, he doesn't age. So when he returns to Kregen, he's still a young man. Bizarrely, his return to that world is only minutes later even though he's spent years on Earth. It's just another mystery for him to figure out, and for the reader to ponder over.
Thereafter, a series of adventures take him from Delia again and again, and it feels like a soap opera, but one that guys can enjoy because there's lots of fighting.
I remember loving the book, the sheer imagination that propelled it, but being an older and wiser reader these days, I also recognized that the storytelling is old school in some ways. The author tells a lot of the story instead of showing it, but the pace is relentless and the stakes are always high. I finished the book in a couple sittings and really look forward to re-reading and reading the others.

HTC just sent a new HTC One smartphone, and a bunch of accessories, to the gas station clerk whose life was saved by his HTC smartphone.
The phone stopped a bullet fired into his abdomen during a robbery.
News of the incident went viral, along with a picture of the smartphone that stopped the bullet. It looked like this:
So the folks at HTC sent him a new one and announced it with a tweet:
If anybody deserves a new #HTCOne, it's this guy: http://t.co/diEDp9Ve5N. Enjoy the "Glad You're OK" care package. http://t.co/azColVH6jW
— HTC (@htc) October 29, 2013
It probably goes without saying, but if you're gunning for a new HTC One smartphone for free, actually being gunned down probably isn't the safest way to go about it.

Why taking appropriate precautions when using online platforms for public sector entities can save your District from potential ethics violations.
It's 2018. Reaching your constituents quickly and effectively during emergencies is not only easier than ever–its expected. See how.
Ever wonder why Houston's Harvey flooding didn't seem to sync up with the 100-Year Flood mapping? Here's how.
As more MUDs are looking to upgrade, adapt with the
times, have better transparency, service their
residents better and faster, and help add value to
their district, a district website is often the next
step. A strong web presence allows residents to find
information they need about the district easily and
quickly and from the correct source. A website, like
any other district owned property, can add tremendous
value to the district so long as it follows rules and
regulations and is properly maintained.
Triton Consulting Group is the leading
communications consulting firm for small government
entities in the greater Texas area. Much like the
operator who handles the water services, or the
engineer that plans and maintains district projects,
Triton is a consultant to the Board of a District that
advises and guides them in all matters of public
outreach and information dissemination.
Residents have come to expect instant, up-to-date,
and district-relevant information to their digital
devices; they want to share district news and updates
on social media platforms like Facebook and Nextdoor,
and receive emergency alerts as a crisis progresses. If
efficient and quality communication does not come from
the district itself, they will try to find it elsewhere
which leads to bad information being shared and
repeated throughout the community, making it impossible
to correct the further it is shared.
Have some news your residents need to know? Need
your residents to understand a Bond Election? Need to
alert your residents to a problem at your facilities?
Want to push news out to your community? Triton is here
to help. Call or email us.

Saw 6….Amanda's BackMarch 24, 2009
The Saw franchise is back…Though everyone knew the fifth installment wouldn't be the end of it…So just as everyone expected Twisted Pictures has called upon Mark Burg to bring us yet another installment of the saw film series, Saw 6.
Though they never managed to find a creative way to bring back Jigsaw, the minds at Twisted Pictures have brought about the return of Amanda. Amanda was Jigsaw's egar suicidal apprentice who assisted the elder mass murderer with in his twisted games. The writers behind Saw supposedly killed Amanda when she failed to realize that she wouldn't go untested and didn't follow the rules of the game. Now the reason I am somewhat skeptical to say her character is dead is because this is not some short-lived low budget film franchise, this is Saw and if Amanda really is set to return in the 6th installment then I'd be willing to bet that she was never killed from the start. Maybe even one of Jigsaw's plan from beyond the crypt.
Shooting for the 6th installment will begin March 30 and is set for release on October 23. Set to direct is Kevin Gerutert and set to star Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith and new actress and winner of Screaming Queens Tanedra Howard.

Dec. 3 ( Bloomberg) -- Jean-Emile Rosenblum, a 34-year-old e-commerce businessman, is quitting France.
With President Francois Hollande's government readying a vote this month on its first annual budget law that seeks to raise 24.4 billion euros ($31.7 billion) in additional taxes, some of France's entrepreneurs and wealthy are heading for the door. Hollande's hitting businesses and individuals with at least a dozen new measures, including a 75 percent levy on income of more than 1 million euros, to narrow the budget gap.
"France is no longer a sexy place to be," said Rosenblum, founder and former owner of Pixmania, an online seller of computers. "To attract and keep business and jobs you have to put on your best face, especially in tough economic times. With all the costs, the taxes and the social pressure, France looks more like an old maid to me."
Rosenblum -- who says he's leaving France with his wife and two little children this month to open a new business in a country he won't disclose -- is among people fleeing a slew of levies announced by Hollande since the Socialist president was elected in May. The 75 percent millionaire tax was followed by new levies on capital gains, an increased tax on income and wealth, a boost to inheritance charges and an exit tax for entrepreneurs selling their companies.
The weight of the levies is prompting a wave of departures, said Philippe Kenel, Geneva-based tax lawyer at Python, Schifferli, Peter & Associates.
Doubled Relocations
"It's impossible to measure yet how many people are leaving or have left as no one wants to go public," Kenel said. "But frankly, I've doubled the number of relocations this year with a sharp increase since Hollande unveiled his new fiscal rules in September. Retirees go to Switzerland. Entrepreneurs go to Belgium or to London."
The government is seeking to bolster revenue through taxes on large companies, Internet startups and private fortunes to make its budget-deficit target of 3 percent of gross domestic product next year. Hollande, the first Socialist president in France since 1995, has called on those "with the most to show patriotism" in tough economic times.
C'est trop, some Frenchmen are saying.
"Those leaving will save so much in taxes that it's impossible to refuse to go," said Francois de la Villardiere, a former local politician and businessman, who sold his stake in an advertising company he co-founded to Publicis SA. He is disposing of his Paris residence and his vacation home near the Rambouillet forest outside the French capital, before moving to somewhere in Europe or the Americas.
Law Breaker
"The new tax system is a call from the government to break the law," de la Villardiere said. "I have nothing against paying my share of the burden or being 'patriotic' as Hollande calls it, but when all you do is pay taxes, you hit a ceiling."
While the trickling out of French people began when former President Nicolas Sarkozy started increasing levies and went back on a measure that capped all taxes at 50 percent of income, it's Hollande's fiscal regime that has accelerated departures.
Didier Delmer, who helps French entrepreneurs relocate and create companies in London, says his business has skyrocketed, from five transfers a month to an average 80 since May 2012.
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron promised in June to roll out the "red carpet" for fleeing French people. Unlike France, the U.K. has no wealth tax. Also, while Hollande is creating a new 45 percent income tax for earnings above 150,000 euros a year to add about 700 million euros to the government's coffers, the U.K. cut the 50 percent tax rate for income over 150,000 pounds ($242,500) to 45 percent from April.
Old Recipes
Delmer, who founded Business Booster Ltd. 12 years ago, said his clients include only about two or three millionaires a month. Most of them are young French entrepreneurs who want to get away from their country's stifling business climate, he said.
"They want to escape France's tax red-tape, escape the crappy attitude toward those who are successful, get lower corporate taxes and be in a place with a better reputation than Paris," he said.
They are the kind of people France needs at home to create jobs as it grapples with an unemployment rate that's at a 14- year high.
"Hollande has created a system where profits, wealth and most of the money gets sucked up by the state to fund bottomless public finances," de la Villardiere said. "Instead of looking for creative, new options to spur growth, they went with old recipes that have reached their limit."
'Les Pigeons'
Rosenblum, who sold the last of his shares in Pixmania to Dixons Retail Plc in July, says most of the 250 jobs his new business will create will be outside France.
"And that's unfortunate," he said.
Hollande's plan to double the top capital-gains tax to about 64 percent for entrepreneurs selling their business, provoked an outcry. It also spawned in October an entrepreneurs' group dubbed "Les Pigeons," who used the bird's role in French slang as the "sucker" to show they were being made the fall guys for France's economic woes.
As the group rallied thousands of protesters, Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici met with them, and less than two weeks after unveiling the bill, Hollande watered down the plan and maintained an "exit tax" determined by the period of time a stake is held and whether proceeds from a sale are reinvested.
"The measure on capital gains was a direct attack on the motors of entrepreneurship, the aspiration to make money in case of success, which is necessary for taking risks," said Philippe Marini, the Senate Finance Committee president and member of the opposition Union for Popular Movement party.
'Very Stressful'
Exactly how the new capital-gains tax will work remains unclear. The 75 percent tax was also modified. After first leaving it open-ended, Hollande said the tax would only last two years. The tax, which was supposed to include bonuses and dividends, is now limited to the base salary.
Some of the details on the levies will be clearer after the budget law is voted in. It will be debated and voted on in the Senate until Dec. 11 and in the National Assembly by Dec. 20.
"The uncertainty surrounding Hollande's first budget law, the moving target with changing tax rates on capital gains, and the general signal that it sends: 'if you make money we'll take it' is very stressful," said Charles-Marie Jottras who heads the luxury real estate company Daniel Feau in Paris. "Instead of waiting to get slapped, they leave."
The 75 percent tax, announced primarily to appease Hollande's political base during the election campaign, may raise only a few dozen million euros.
Selling Property
"The rate is so outrageous and we see so many top earners leaving that I doubt there will be many left to pay it," said Jottras. "It's the Laffer curve: too much taxation kills taxes."
Jottras, who also works with the Christie's real estate network, says he already has evidence of people leaving in the top-end property market. He has 30 percent more high-end homes for sale in France now than in March, when Hollande first mentioned the new levy on the campaign trail. Jottras sells homes that cost 1.5 million euros or more.
Nathalie Garcin, daughter of Emile Garcin, the founder of the eponymous luxury property firm, said she has seen a doubling of Paris homes valued at between 3 million euros and 15 million euros being put up for sale.
"The first thing lawyers tell those who want to leave France is to sell their primary residence, " she said in an interview. "My clients tell me they're fed up and don't want to work for the state. All this is temporary, I hope."
Some Staying
To be sure, not all wealthy people are planning to leave. Matthieu Pigasse, deputy chief executive officer of investment bank Lazard Ltd., told French magazine Challenges that he's not going anywhere.
"They're exceptional measures for an exceptional crisis," he told the magazine. "I'm showing solidarity."
Also, only half those who get in touch with tax lawyers or relocation consultants actually make the final move, Python, Schifferli's Kenel said. Language barriers, homesickness, food, family and social life are often strong incentives to abandon a move, he said.
Additionally, the stigma attached to leaving for tax reasons also keeps people from acting.
A decision by France's richest man, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA Chief Executive Officer Bernard Arnault, to seek Belgian citizenship created a media frenzy over tax exiles, prompting the newspaper Liberation to run a front-page headline that read: "Get lost, rich bastard."
Golden Goose
Arnault had to quickly come out and say that he plans to retain his local residence and will continue to pay French taxes.
French citizens aren't the only ones seeking to escape the country's new tax regime. Steve Horton, who runs an eponymous tax service company in Paris to advise Americans in France, says the state has lost 7 million euros in receipts for next year from such taxpayers. First Sarkozy and now Hollande have taken tax decisions that create collateral damage, he said.
"France can hardly compete now with Moscow, New York and other capital cities for elite workers," Horton said. "They are skilled, speak many languages and are mobile. They were sad to leave but they are gone now. France has killed the goose that laid golden eggs."

First timer here..
I have a theory. Some of it is already out there, so its more of a play off of existing theories.
I believe there is an original timeline (we'll call it the OG), that was corrupted somehow, that lead to the branching off of the island timeline. The island timeline has been trying to course correct something that wasn't suppose to happen in the OG and MIB/Jacob (or MIB's mom) are somehow involved with offsetting the OG – thusly charged with correcting it. So the Sideways is a course corrected timeline in the making. As their actions on island keep changing, things are being shaped and corrected in the sideways until things turn out the way things should have (good or bad), as it would have turned out in the OG. "Anything else is just progress."
On other matters…
1.Lapidus is a curious character that is strangely unexplored. We know sqwat about him. Does he just add to the body count or is he a significant sleeper?
2.The boy that appears in the woods is/was MIB's body that Jacob stole.
3. I think Jacob lies/manipulates for the greater good, while MIB does the opposite.

Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding is this coming May. Now's the time to pick up their engagement gift; check out our guide.
-Jordanna Stephen, The Fashionisette
Courtesy of YouTube
The Queen of Style (EDIT: She means me, um, PJ…and yes, I am) and I are obsessed with the Royal Wedding Couple of the moment, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. While I am sure my invite to the shower and wedding might get lost in the mail, a commoner can still pick out engagement gifts right? And look how cute they are together!
Courtesy of YouTube
Read: Have You Entered the Holiday Giveaway Yet?
So, what do you get the couple who has it all…or can get it all? Here are my top 10 picks for engagement gifts (in no particular order) that I would love to gift my favorite royal couple:
1. Glass photo box in rose gold, $45 (La Rousse Shoppe). Display photos without the traditional picture frame in heirloom glass photo boxes. It can hold up to 110 photos. It's better than a one-photo only picture frame, and prettier than any photo album. They can hold all the photo memories from their special day onward in this nostalgic glass box.
You could add the Perfume Drive, $26 (La Rousse Shoppe), to the gift. The metal-topped (gold or silver) USB drive can hold lots of photos! The 4G drive has room for many memories to come.
2. Romantic Getaway Gift Set, $774.50 (Knack Shop) When your officially part of the "family firm," a royal couple has tons of responsibilities. It can be hard to grab a romantic moment. This gift set makes it easier to create that romantic getaway feeling, while not leaving your house, or in the case of Harry and Meghan, palace. The gift set includes hand-selected treats for all the senses, including spa robes and slippers, a pretty candle for ambiance, velvety jasmine body oil and coconut milk bath soak, plus caramels, champagne, and glasses for two. There's also a little something extra to really get in the mood, and let's just say it is pretty special. You'll have to click the link to find out.
3.Scratch Map Deluxe, $32 - $48 (Uncommon Goods), I love the idea of keeping track where you have traveled, and this is a creative way to do just that. We know they've traveled a lot before they married, and they'll be on the road after the wedding too. They can hang this map on the wall and scratch off the places they've traveled to. It's fun for them and they can show their guests (and future spawn) where they've been. It's also filled with colorful geography factoids. The map comes in two sizes, Standard ($32) and Large ($48). Obviously, I would be gifting them the large size.
4. Dom Perignon Brut Vintage 1996, $849.99, (Dan Murphy's),What couple wouldn't want a bottle of Dom Perignon to celebrate the occasion? It's the most iconic of all champagnes. And this 1996 vintage bottle offers the taste of white peach, candied lemons, vanilla, praline, and white pepper.
5. Godinger Traveling Champagne Glasses, Set of 4, $118, (Neiman Marcus), If you're gifting champagne, you have to give them glasses to pour it in. I love these traveler champagne glasses. They feature 4 iconic buildings: Chrysler Building, Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, and Empire State Building. Champagne glasses can kinda look the same, and these really stood out to me.
6.Nanopresso, $79.90, (Wacaco.com), If they're coffee or espresso drinkers, then they will love this. They can be their own on-the-go barista with a Nanopresso. This super light, portable, and small espresso maker is a great travel companion for when you need a perk-me-up. It comes with everything you need, and a cute carrying case too.
7. Cheval d'Orient gift box of 6 tea cups, $2,190 (Hermès) and matching Tea & Coffee Pot, $1325, (Hermès), The English love a good cup of tea, so let's all chip in and get Prince Harry and Meghan this tea service. I loved this Hermès set…well it is Hermès…but also because of the equestrian design. The English do love polo, and all things horsey. So, I thought this would be the perfect home tea service for them. It comes with 6 porcelain tea cups. But you also must throw in the matching tea & coffee pot as well. You know, so it looks like a really good gift. (EDIT NOTE: Jordanna has great taste, I suddenly need this tea service for myself….GRRR, thanks, Jordanna!).
8. Dream Wedding Gift Box, $279, (Tinggly.com),You can buy the royal couple (or a couple in your life) a travel experience gift. In this case, you can boost the honeymoon or any trip the couple takes by gifting them this Dream Wedding Gift Box. The couple can choose one of hundreds of the world's best experiences, hand-picked by team Tinggly. Available in nearly 100 countries; Tinggly experiences are easy to book and valid for up to two years. They can choose Volcano exploring in Hawaii, or a spa day in Bali, or an evening dinner cruise in Australia. You buy the gift box, the couple picks their experience for their destination, and you treated them to it.
9. Letterpress Vow Journals. Set of 2 $26, (QuinnLuu shop-Etsy),We have all seen the royal wedding with Prince William and Duchess Catherine, so we know there won't be any personal vows exchanged. But that doesn't mean they can't still write them. These journals are keepsakes of everything they vow to be to each other filled with love that can be shared over time.
10.His and Hers Pajamas, $268-$298 (Sleepy Jones), I love his and her pajama sets. And this design is perfect! Something about it feels royal. For her, it's the silk Marina pajama shirt and pants. Each are sold separately. The silk Marina shirt is $288 and matching pants are $268. For him, it's the silk Marcel pajama pant, $278, and matching silk Henry pajama shirt, $298. Made of fine silk twill, these sets are just the right amount of style and comfort for those days off when they just want to lounge.

Drinking raspberry juice is a tart and delicious way to increase your nutrient intake and enjoy a number of health benefits.
What is Raspberry Juice?
Raspberry juice is the juice that is made by blending or pressing fresh raspberries, which are scientifically known as Rubus strigosus. Due to the incredibly tart nature of this juice, it is often blended with ice and other sweeteners to make it more palatable. However, it is also possible to crush raspberries and then slowly press the concentrated juice through multiple layers of cheesecloth.
This juice is celebrated for its refreshing flavor and uplifting taste, making it an ideal summer drink, but it is also very high in certain nutrients that can boost overall health.
Nutrition Facts
Nutritionally speaking, raspberry juice possesses almost all of the same nutrients as raspberries, particularly if the berries are blended, rather than pressed. Raspberry juice typically contains high levels of vitamin C and dietary fiber, as well as smaller amounts of iron, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, potassium and vitamin B6. One cup of raspberry juice, unsweetened, contains approximately 100 calories.
Benefits of Raspberry Fruit Juice
The most notable benefits of raspberry fruit juice are its ability to prevent cancer, improve heart health, boost weight loss efforts and increase blood circulation, among others.
One of the active ingredients in raspberries, called ellagic acid, has been linked through research to destroying cancerous cells (apoptosis). Other antioxidants found in these berries also cut back on oxidative stress, which can lead to cancer.
Heart Health
There is a good amount of anthocyanins found in this tangy juice, which are known to protect against heart disease by improving the integrity and strength of the arteries and blood vessels.
Immune System
With great levels of vitamin C, this juice can help boost the immune system and defend against any number of infections or potential pathogens. This is in addition to the antioxidants, which reduce the strain on the immune system by lowering chronic inflammation.
The potassium in raspberries helps to lower blood pressure, and other active ingredients work as blood-thinners. When combined, this means better delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the body and reduced hypertension symptoms.
The effect that this juice can have on the immune system means a more controlled release of cytokines and other inflammatory molecules and fewer unnecessary symptoms.
When these berries are blended, they retain all of their dietary fiber, which can improve peristaltic motion and boost digestive health.
Weight Loss
High in fiber and low in calories, this juice is a nutrient-dense addition to your diet that can help you feel full and prevent overeating and the habit of snacking.
Side Effects
The only side effects from drinking this juice arise if a person is allergic to raspberries, or if the fruit hasn't been properly washed, increasing the risk of bacteria or other unwanted chemicals on the fruit. Excessive consumption can also cause stomach upset and diarrhea, so always consume this beverage in moderation.
