Some students are blessed to have a gift that manifests early in their life, sparking a fierce, lifelong passion. For students who excel at sports, working to balance school and their passion can be a struggle. This article by League Network lays out seven tips for young athletes trying to juggle school and sports. Today, we'd like to share those tips, and how attending an accredited online school can help alleviate a lot of the issues student athletes encounter.
First, League Network says: Assess your priorities. This doesn't mean prioritizing sports over school, but rather, studying your schedule much like you'd study a game tape. League Network suggests to look for subjects that come easily, and find the ones where you struggle. Having this information will shift your priorities when it's time to study, as you'll know where you need to spend more time. At Christa McAuliffe Academy School of Arts and Sciences, our students own their schedules in a way unheard of in traditional schools. Since studies have shown that students excel when taking no more than 2-3 classes at a time, our students do just that. While working with a Personalized Education Coach, they're able to assess how much time they'll need to take each course, personalizing the length based on their individual strengths and weaknesses. Great at math but struggle in science? Students may finish a math course in four to eight weeks, but map out twelve to wrap a science course, swapping a new course in once one is complete.
Second: Create a system. Student athletes juggle a lot. Due dates, games, practice, school projects, it can get overwhelming if you don't have a system for organization and time management. Find an app or planner that works for you, and stick to it. The mental energy it will save you by keeping your life organized will be well worth the time it takes to do it. For students at an accredited online school, this becomes easier, as their time isn't constrained to a typical school day. Work better at night? With online classes you can take anytime, anywhere, that opens your schedule up a lot.
Third: Use your weekends wisely. Remember that priority list you looked at in step one? Weekends should be a time to unwind, but they can also be a great time to get in some extra schoolwork or practice time. Try setting one or two big goals for the weekend and accomplishing them early in the day when your mind is fresh, so you can have the rest of the day free. Many of our student athletes join us because they enjoy the flexibility our program offers. Have a big game on Friday? Take the day to focus on that, and then treat Saturday like your school day.
Fourth: Don't procrastinate. As the saying goes, "never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today." Benjamin Franklin said that. And he was a pretty smart dude. Make SMART goals every day (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Result-focused, Time-bound) and stay on top of them so you won't get overwhelmed. Here at CMASAS, our students work closely with their instructors and Personalized Education Coach to ensure they're staying on track.
Fifth: Make the most of free periods and study halls. These are resources students should take full advantage of. Of course, if you attend an online school like CMASAS, you're in control of your schedule, meaning you set your own hours based off your individual needs. This flexibility and control is a powerful tool for student performers learning how to take ownership over their passions and lives.
Sixth: Know when to stop. League Network says: "Wearing yourself out at practice or staying up all night to finish a paper can take its toll on you. You won't be any good to your team on game day if you're not in peak condition. Likewise, how can you concentrate in class if you are drained physically and emotionally? Know your limits and don't attempt to exceed them." At CMASAS, students have a full calendar year to complete their coursework, instead of the traditional ten month school year. This gives student athletes more flexibility and flux time to compete both athletically and academically at the highest level.
Lastly, League Network says: Seek advice from your teammates. Look for any of your peers who seem to have their balancing act down, and ask for tips. Chances are, you'll get some good ideas and life-hacks to help you with your own performance. At CMASAS, our students socialize through homerooms and both regional and international gatherings. This global exposure gives our students the opportunity to see how students all over the world are excelling in their passions.
Here at CMASAS, we believe that dreams have no bar that reads: "must be eighteen to ride." We are proud to host a plethora of high-ranking performers with the drive to crush it-- not just on the field or mat, but also in their academics. So go ahead, pursue your passion full-throttle. With our flexible and individually-curated academic approach, there's no need to wait until graduation to do what you love.

The Way OUT
Trail Thoughts and Musings
The passage has now shrunk so that even a short adult must walk in a permanent crouched position. All external light has vanished and only the flashlight you posses can light your way. In addition, Bear Creek is now the trail, making a dry hike an impossibility. Here the light glistens off the creek showing where to take your next step.

AT 81, one of Australia's remaining pioneers of kidney transplantation is not showing any signs of slowing down.
Former surgeon Mohan Rao, a Colonel Light Gardens grandfather of seven, was earlier this month helping doctors perform a live donor kidney transplant in Brunei.
"I scrub up with the surgeons and offer my advice," he says.
Though he retired seven years ago as senior consultant transplant surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Mr Rao travels to Brunei six times each year to support a kidney transplant program he helped set up in 2014.
"I like to go on helping people and I really enjoy working with patients," he says.
Mr Rao has trained many doctors here and abroad, conducted the first successful kidney transplant in India and the first live donor transplant in Brunei, set up two international kidney transplant programs and treated tens of thousands of patients across his 50-year career.
But there's one he remembers most.
Earlier this week, the Pride of Australia nominee, reunited with the patient who helped him make medical history in Adelaide 21 years ago.
In May 1997, Mr Rao performed Australia's first living donor laparoscopic kidney removal at the QEH on mother-of-three Pamela Prescott, 50.
Pam agreed to the landmark surgery without hesitation so she could donate her kidney to son Tony McDonald who was suffering from auto-immune disease Lupus.
The successful transplant lasted 16 years before Mr McDonald required dialysis.
Mrs Prescott, from Two Wells, and Mr McDonald, from Mallala, thanked Mr Rao for his skill and courage.
"What you did has been a great success and we have helped so many people," said Mrs Prescott, 71.
The surgery – heavily criticised at the time by transplant surgeons in Australia – has helped more than 445 live kidney donors in SA alone and reduced an average five-day hospital stay to less than 48 hours.
"Mohan Rao is a true pioneer and leader in transplant surgery in Australia and India," Royal Adelaide Hospital Kidney and Islet Transplantation director Professor Toby Coates said.
"The keyhole donation in 1997 … has become the standard way the whole country performs the living donor operation. It's greatly reduced the time in hospital and pain for living donors, lowering the barrier for people to make the choice to donate."
Today, more than 30 per cent of kidney donations in Australia are from live donors. Mr Rao's work followed that of Professor Jim Lawrence and surgeon Peter Knight, who performed the first live donor kidney transplant in 1965 at the QEH.
Emeritus Prof Lawrence died aged 88 in February this year.

Milwaukee has been making waves recently in national best lists: first a local company snagged a coveted top-ten position among Fortune's famous "Best Companies to Work For," and then Milwaukee was named one of the "Best Cities for Women in Tech in 2017." And now, just in time for Earth Day (Saturday, April 22), a study by GE Lighting ranked Milwaukee the eighth best city for LED-bulb usage.
Per GE Lighting, 29.3 percent of Milwaukeeans have purchased at least one LED bulb in the last year. Though this seems low, nationally less than 20 percent of U.S. light sockets contain LEDs, placing Milwaukee far ahead of the curve.
This is no small matter. LED bulbs are 70 to 90 percent more efficient than regular light bulbs and thus can have a positive impact on the environment. If Milwaukee upped its LED usage to 100 percent and the rest of the country followed suit, we could eliminate over seven billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions and also save millions in energy costs. Switching to LED bulbs is personally cost-effective as well. Most LED bulbs are $5 or less, and, per GE lighting, changing just one traditional bulb to LED could save almost $130 over the course of the bulb's life.
As Earth Day grows near, here are a few other simple and cost-effective things to do to minimize your carbon footprint:
Bring reusable bags to the grocery store
Not only are you reducing the number of plastic bags that end up in landfills by bringing your own bag, but most grocery stores will reward you through a small discount.
Switch to cloth napkins
Switching from paper to cloth napkins will save you money, reduce your trash output and make every meal a little fancier.
Buy second-hand
By shopping at local thrift shops like Retique and RePurpose, you can help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions required to make new clothes and furniture and save money in the process.
Unplug unused devices
Even when they're not in use, plugged-in appliances and electronic devices use electricity. As electricity is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, unplugging will help the environment and reduce your energy bill.
Host a yard sale
We're on the brink of spring, and everyone knows what that means – spring cleaning. Instead of throwing stuff away this year, host a yard sale where you can recycle your things and maybe make a few bucks.
Eat Local
Buying locally grown food can help support local farmland and reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced by transporting unseasonal foods to Milwaukee. With summer on the way, farmer's markets will soon pop up all around town, selling locally grown produce at low prices.
Hop on public transportation (or a bike)
Even using Milwaukee's bus system, walking or taking a bike to work one day a week can make a difference in Milwaukee's greenhouse gas emissions. You might even see unexpected parts of the city in the process.

best invitation cards
best invitation cards – I am locating it significantly difficult to find awesome invitations today. I am trying to find numerous distinct sets and am asking yourself in which to acquire them from. I feel that a single primary issue is that my Mum makes fantastic playing cards and Invites and so if I am looking to obtain some, I should shell out a lot of money to get a thing of that top a high quality. I'd personally question her to produce the graduation Invites that I want but I would like them in every week`s time and she wouldn't have the ability to get them done that promptly as she has Another kinds that she is accomplishing in the meanwhile.
I should have requested her before but I was not pretty organised with items. I assume I will have to research around on line and see whether I can discover any locations providing them which will be able to get them sent to me in time. I actually need some thing and that is enjoyable with a terrific photograph on it. Had I wished something plain I might have experienced it printed for me at my area stationers. They do some wonderful official Invites on plain card which can be perfect for definitely official occasions, but they're not appealing enough for me – I like one thing by using a awesome photograph or enjoyable cartoon on them, according to the situation. My son, whose graduation it can be, would not do official and so I do think He'll much prefer something that is a bit more comfortable with a way of pleasurable. I also really need to make sure to try to look for some birthday Invites concurrently. I'm organising a surprise social gathering for my Mum and so are not able to question her to generate People invites!
These will likely be even more difficult to discover as I will need something which looks really superior and to raised the ones that she does will probably be truly hard. I'm hoping to search out anything with some pink roses on it as they are her favourites and it is tough to have some which usually do not look much too quaint truly. I'm confident I will find a little something if I look around difficult more than enough, I'll just need to get on with it and hope which i can find a little something genuinely great in time. I'm positive that there needs to be some wonderful factors obtainable, I just have to uncover them.
Caitlina Fuller can be a freelance writer. I am getting it progressively difficult to find great Invites nowadays. I'm looking for many different sets and am wanting to know where to have them from. I would request her to help make the graduation invitations that more info I want but I would like them in a week`s time and she would not manage to get them carried out that speedily. I also need to remember to seek out some birthday Invites concurrently.

A few weeks ago, on Monday April 2nd at 12:30pm to be precise, my visiting mother, the girl and I were driving toward UN Drive to meet M. for lunch. The main gate of the United Nations compound is located about 20 steps across the road from the main gate of the United States Embassy. It's a neighborhood that does not skimp on security measures. Armed guards meander along UN Drive, security company vans patrol the area, the Diplomatic Police Department and a few towers of police housing are located around the corner. I'm sure there are Marines and undercover US security as well; after years of driving through almost daily, I no longer notice. You have to have all sorts of badges and passes and special car plates to pass through the gates, and still you're not exempt from the random security check. Apparently even housewives in Suburus with babies in the backseat have the potential to throw a major tizzy fit of terrorist proportions.
So, on April 2nd at 12:30 in the afternoon, I was not initially startled when, before turning on to UN Drive, I crested a subtle rise and came upon a car swerved across the road, its two doors flung open, 500 yards ahead. I assumed it was an accident and stopped to avoid the inevitable African crowd that would immediately follow. It was not an accident, however. It lacked the sense of panic, tragedy and shock. The scene was calm. It was as if the driver had simply parked his car there out of laziness, to be accepted as another small absurdity of Kenya's traffic habits.
When a man the size of an American basketball player, wearing a red ski mask pulled over his head, unfolded himself out of the car's passenger door and then pulled out an G-3 assault rifle the length of a water pipe, the situation become more clear.
"Wow. This is a car jacking," I said to my mother, and started to turn the car across the road. As I maneuvered, I watched the man in the red ski mask casually stroll across the road to another car that I now noticed had been forced off the road. He pulled a briefcase out of the car's window. My last glance before I sped off in the opposite direction was of him returning, as casually as a policeman issuing a speeding ticket, back to his car.
I took a back road to the cafe and within ten minutes we were seated, ordering omelets and French fries. A few hours later, a conversation with the Embassy confirmed that no one had reported the incident to any police station. It was clearly a targeted hit, we all agree, not a random carjacking. All afternoon I had the weird sensation of having caught a glimpse of an exotic animal while on safari.

D-Day is finally here peeps, and we are excited to be exercising our democratic right. Most of us by now are confident in our choices and are ready to vote for who they believe in.
However there are some things that are absolutely necessary to get through the process. Please see the checklist below and ensure that you are fully prepared.
Form of Identification
You will need your National Identification card (ID) to identify yourself in order to be able to cast your vote.
It is so important to remain hydrated while you are waiting to cast your vote. If you are even able to carry about a litre of water, you should be sorted for the day.
You need to be in constant communication with your loved ones. Also, you will need it for entertainment purposes such as listenign to music and social media updates.
Just ensure you have enough airtime and bundles as well.
Power bank
Running out of juice is not an option, carry your power bank and of course make sure that it is fully charged .
You will need it either way, come rain or shine.
Book or magazine
This can be a very good opportunity to catch up with some good reads you have been meaning to. This will also save your phone some battery and take your mind off things.
Carrying a variety of snacks of your choice is better than having to buy what is available because you might be famished for standing in the long queues.

- Strong falls across the Crypto board during the weekend erase bullish scenarios
- Ripple is the most damaged, getting into full bearish territory
Panic. That's the word to describe the emotions driving the Cryptocurrencies market during the last hours. Big falls across the Crypto board during the weekend, with strong volumes, are leading into a damage-control start of the week. Time to re-draw the technical scenarios from where we stand right now.
BTC/USD 4H chart
Bitcoin has awakened in Europe at the $6690 mark, losing the floor of the bullish channel and getting back strongly on the bearish structure from where it escaped in the last stages of the past week.
BTC/USD bears have taken a breather in the price congestion support at $6700, but there are only a few supports remaining that can contain them. Below there, another support close to the $6590 mark and the penultimate chance for the bulls to the save the $6000 psychological level. There is only another support before that level at $6440, which if lost, would surely take Bitcoin down to $5800.
It doesn't look likely, but if Bitcoin bulls awaken, the clear target for them is at the base of the channel lost in the recent hours. That is located at the $7200 mark, but to reach that one, it would need to previously clear the drilled supports at $6860 and $7100.
The 50-EMA that had been able to cross to the upside the 100-SMA is now back below that one, which strengthens the bearish signal.
MACD in the Bitcoin 4-hour chart has sunk into negative territory, and now its opening and inclination propose the continuation of the falls without any signs of a possible change in the price action.
Directional Movement Index in the same chart is showing how the selling positions have spiked, while buyers are down to similar levels seen in February. Therefore, extreme pessimism might trigger some rebound but always inside a very damaged structure, with the trend pointing to the downside.
ETH/USD 4H chart
Ethereum has dived again into the bearish channel from where it barely escaped and is now resting above the trendline already visited several times during the month of May. ETH/USD's structure has not been as damaged as the Bitcoin one, also proposing a bearish scenario but with more possibilities for the bulls.
Ethereum is resting just above the trendline that now is located at $522. If that important level was lost, there would be no other support until the $500 mark, with a more likely target down to $485 mark. Below there, the visit to the base of the bearish channel would be inevitable, taking ETH/USD down to $425 at first, and $400 later.
On the upside, and as we already mentioned, the return of the bulls could be significant if they are able to surpass the $567 mark, where a price congestion resistance and the roof of the bearish channel meet. If ETH/USD is able to close above there, it will find a positive scenario but still will have meaningful barriers like the 50-EMA and the 100-SMA (meeting at $580) to clear.
MACD in the Ethereum 4-hour chart shows the strength of the recent falls, getting inside the negative territory of the indicator. A retracement of a certain importance looks likely, but it would only be a previous rest until the bearish continuation.
Directional Movement Index shows the sellers in total control, with buyers at very low levels but without reaching the lows seen at the end of May. Bearish continuation.
XRP/USD 4H chart
Ripple is reacting to the upside in the first hours of the European session, after reaching the base of the channel that has been ruling the price action since mid-April. XRP/USD has left a swing low at $0.552 after losing the $0.581 support that is now trying to reconquer. Below there, the base of the channel is the support at $0.548, where it meets a price congestion support. If that level is lost, the target is a 10% below the $0.50 level.
On the upside, first resistance in the mentioned $0.58 level, followed by $0.60 and $0.63 where it meets a price congestion resistance, the 50-EMA and soon the 100-SMA. Above there, a major resistance located at $0.664, again a confluence point between the superior line of the channel and the 200-SMA.
MACD in the Ripple 4-hour chart follows the pattern of the other Cryptos analyzed. Bearish continuation and barely a few chances of a turnaround in the short term.
Directional Movement Index in the same chart shows again the sellers in total control, with the buyers completely missing, at levels not seen since January. Very extreme readings and that might favor a rebound.

MADISON COUNTY, Ala. - A man living in Harvest says his service dog died last month. And he says the people he trusted to watch the dog are responsible.
Jevon Turner says he had to pay thousands to get a new dog.
For most problems in life, Turner has always had the good book. But for the past five years, Turner, who's a disabled veteran, has had his faithful companion.
"Zidane would always know before we knew," Turner's friend Myra Whitfield said.
"He can detect that through the way I'm feeling just because he bonded with me," Turner said.
Turner is prone to seizures and says he depends on a service dog to see him through the bad spells. But last month, Turner says he joined his wife on a three-day business trip.
"He told me it might be a good idea if we didn't bring Zidane," Turner said.
So, Turner says he made other arrangements, dropping off the dog on May 16th and picking him up on the 19th.
"He didn't eat anything or drink anything for three days, but they didn't notify me," Turner said.
Turner says less than a day after taking his dog home, Zidane was dead. Rather than taking him to a vet, Turner says he buried him.
"I just couldn't see him laying there in that blood, seeing him there in the state that he was in," Turner said.
We called Canine Oasis for this story to try and get their version of what happened. The person on the phone says Zidane was never boarded there, it was a friend who watched him. That person declined to appear on camera, but says since a necropsy was never done, there's no way to know for certain what killed Turner's dog.
"It's not just about the paper, it's about making people be accountable when they're holding something so dear to you," Turner said.
Turner says he's found a new companion in Atlanta, thanks to a loan from Redstone Federal Credit Union, but will spend more than six months training her.
Friends of Turner have started a GoFundMe page to help pay off the loan he took out to buy the new dog.

Fat burner myths
Dr. Donald A. Miller
A surprisingly high number of books by physicians and nutritional consultants teach that foods in combinations, or special supplements, can "turn up your fat burners". Publications by the Mayo Clinic, US Government, and other reliable sources all say this is TOTAL NONSENSE.
If one could ignore calories and eat "fat burner" foods to lose weight, the combinations would have to work the same
as weight loss drugs, which pose significant health risks.
Here are real ways to "cheat" on weight loss, with drugs / herbs, surgery.
a) Ingest fewer calories
¤ take something to kill appetite
b) Burn more calories (exercise is safest way)
¤ induce fever
¤ induce agitation & hyper activity
c) discard body mass by artificial means
¤ diuretics, to expel water faster than normal
¤ steam room, sauna, hot clothes, wraps to lose water
¤ laxatives, to interfere with digestion, lose water
¤ induce vomiting
¤ cut off or suck out parts of the body
All of these cheats are risky, most are temporary, most can cause damage to the body even up to death. Dehydration can
kill quickly.
A safer way is to stuff the stomach with low calorie vegetables, plus a few almonds, which will satisfy hunger and leave no room for steak or pie.
"Reality is not what you think it is
nor what you want it to be
Reality IS"

I'm going to be carrying out research into how to rebuild a search engine from scratch for a large University data base. Existing search is slow and cumbersome.
I'll be researching user needs that will try and figure out:
What users are looking for; how they formulate queries; what they do with the results etc.
My question: has anyone got any researching guidelines for specifically search engine user needs?
EDIT There is no quantitative data capture set up. I wish there was.

If you enjoy yakitori (grilled skewered chicken), you will fall in love with yakiton, Japanese grilled skewered pork.
Yakiton is cooked pretty much like yakitori — cut the meat into bite-size pieces, thread into a bamboo skewer, grill on both sides while brushing with tare several times during cooking.
Are the green onion stalks a must? Not really. But the yakiton that inspired our home version was cooked that way. We had just finished walking under the torii gates at Fushimi Inari when, lo and behold, there was an alley line with food stalls on both sides. Yakiton was the first item I ordered.
I watched the cook grill the meat. Partially cooked pork, apparently, because pork doesn't cook as fast as chicken. Well, unless you use a cut like pork tenderloin which requires just a few minutes on the grill.
But ternderloin is fatless and, for grilled meat, we are partial to cuts with lots of fat. It is the fat, after all, that keeps the meat moist during cooking. And that's in addition to contributing flavors.
Almost any part of the pig, including its organs, can be skewered and cooked as yakiton
The cut of meat you use for cooking yakiton is totally up to you, naturally. If you're not an offal virgin, know that almost any part of the pig may be used. Jowl, heart, intestines, liver, tongue… In Asia, wasting any part of an edible animal is discouraged.
Brushing the pork with tare is good but plain salt will do
As for the seasoning, we brushed the pork with tare and allowed the meat to absorb the flavors of the sauce. But brushing the meat with sauce during grilling is not a requirement. The pork may be sprinkled, quite simply, with salt before going on the grill.
Our version is brushed with tare — inspired by the unforgettable yakiton at Fushimi Inari — and cooked in the broiler.
Yakiton: Japanese Grilled Skewered Pork
- 500 grams pork belly (in one piece) simmered, uncut, in lightly salted water for an hour then cooled to room temperature
- 4 to 6 stalks green onion (you'll need thick stalks for this)
- 6 bamboo skewers soaked in cold water for 30 minutes
- ½ cup tare sauce
- Preheat the broiler to 400F.
- Slice the cooked pork belly into one-centimeter (about half inch) slices then cut each slice into bite-size pieces.
- Cut off the root ends of the green onion and discard. Cut off the dark green part of the stalks and set aside (you may use them to make broth). You need only the white and light green portion for making yakiton.
- Peel off the tough outer stalk of the green onion and discard. Cut the trimmed green onion into two-inch lengths.
- Take a bamboo skewer, thread a piece of pork in it followed by a piece of green onion. Repeat until you have four to five pieces of pork in the skewer. Do the same for the rest of the pork and green onions.
- Arrange the pork skewers in a tray and brush the top side with tare. Broil for two to three minutes.
- Turn the pork skewers over and brush with tare. Broil for another two to three minutes.
- Repeat until the pork and green onions are nicely charred.
- Serve the yakiton immediately. They're really best while hot!

The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Bentayga doesn't offer pre-crash pretensioners.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Bentayga doesn't offer a driver alert monitor.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe has standard Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, help track down your vehicle if it's stolen or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The Bentayga doesn't offer a GPS response system, only a navigation computer with no live response for emergencies, so if you're involved in an accident and you're incapacitated help may not come as quickly.
Both the AMG GLC 63 Coupe and the Bentayga have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, available lane departure warning systems and around view monitors.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The Bentayga's 3-year basic warranty expires 1 year sooner.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's corrosion warranty is 2 years longer than the Bentayga's (5 vs. 3 years).
There are over 8 times as many Mercedes dealers as there are Bentley dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the AMG GLC 63 Coupe's warranty.
As tested in Motor Trend the AMG GLC63 S Coupe is faster than the Bentley Bentayga 12 cyl.:
Zero to 60 MPH
3.2 sec
3.5 sec
Quarter Mile
11.7 sec
11.9 sec
On the EPA test cycle the AMG GLC 63 Coupe gets better fuel mileage than the Bentayga:

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Mercedes AMG GLC 63 Coupe higher (5 out of 10) than the Bentley Bentayga (3). This means the AMG GLC 63 Coupe produces up to 16.5 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Bentayga every 15,000 miles.
A nine-speed automatic is standard on the Mercedes AMG GLC 63 Coupe, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only an eight-speed automatic is available for the Bentayga.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM's precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The Bentayga doesn't offer launch control.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe stops much shorter than the Bentayga:
70 to 0 MPH

Motor Trend
For better traction and acceleration, the AMG GLC 63 Coupe has larger rear tires than the Bentayga (295/40R20 vs. 275/50R20). The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's rear tires are larger than the largest rear tires available on the Bentayga (295/40R20 vs. 285/45R21).
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's standard 265/45R20 front and 295/40R20 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series front and 40 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Bentayga's standard 50 series tires. The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's optional 295/35R21 rear tires have a lower 35 series profile than the Bentayga's optional 40 series tires.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The Bentayga doesn't offer drift compensation steering.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's front to rear weight distribution is more even (55.1% to 44.9%) than the Bentayga's (57.5% to 42.5%). This gives the AMG GLC 63 Coupe more stable handling and braking.
The AMG GLC63 S Coupe handles at .94 G's, while the Bentayga pulls only .78 G's of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.
The AMG GLC63 S Coupe executes Motor Trend's "Figure Eight" maneuver 1.5 seconds quicker than the Bentayga (24.1 seconds @ .85 average G's vs. 25.6 seconds @ .74 average G's).
For better maneuverability, the AMG GLC 63 Coupe's turning circle is .9 feet tighter than the Bentayga's (39.7 feet vs. 40.6 feet).
The Mercedes AMG GLC 63 Coupe may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 800 to 850 pounds less than the Bentley Bentayga.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe is 1 foot, 3.6 inches shorter than the Bentayga, making the AMG GLC 63 Coupe easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.
As tested by Car and Driver while at idle, the interior of the AMG GLC63 S Coupe is quieter than the Bentayga (40 vs. 44 dB).
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe's standard rear seats fold to accommodate long and bulky cargo. The Bentayga w/Four Seat Comfort Specification doesn't offer folding rear seats, only a ski pass-through.
Heated windshield washer nozzles are standard on the AMG GLC 63 Coupe to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The Bentayga doesn't offer heated windshield washer nozzles.
The AMG GLC 63 Coupe has a 115-volt a/c outlet, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Bentayga doesn't offer a house-current electrical outlet.
The Mercedes AMG GLC 63 comes in traditional 4-door sport utility and 4-door coupe bodystyles; the Bentley Bentayga isn't available as a coupe style sport utility.

Oversea Study
Nowadays more and more students are eager to study abroad, because they feel that studying abroad is better than studying local universities of our country. However, they have own reason to study locally or abroad. Both of universities, abroad or local have their own uniqueness, as well as advantages and disadvantages. For instance, there are many local universities in Cambodia that have good qualities and students have a variety of choice. Also studying in local universities can save the cost compared to studying in universities abroad, students have to pay not only for their study but also for their living cost. For example, food, drinks, clothes, bills and so on. In addition, they can't fed up with the weather cause to be sick, they will miss their friends and family, feel homesick, less friends or no friends to talk to like forever alone. Of course, getting education in foreign county has a lot of benefits such as living in a new country, experiencing new cultures, interacting with those with a background different from your own, seeing a different way of life, and experiencing the what people do, enhancing experiences. It also encourages independence. Furthermore, studying abroad can build confident, the school provides what students need. In fact, students could do research by internet and also in the library which includes kinds of books. Moreover, it is the best way to learn foreign language. So they could talk more fluency. That's a chance for students find a part time job, so they could survive with spending on stuff anyway. Another benefit of studying abroad is that when students get back to their own country, they could find a very good job as a well-paid job. They could save their country by their knowledge, develop the country with a life as a leadership.
In conclusion, oversea study certainly offers great opportunities for a better future. It also has challenges that we must try our best to overcome what happened to make our...

SCM merchandise demand utilization connected with programs together with details through numerous geographically sent out present cycle associates, as well because internal implementation using legacy of music methods. To be able to ensure achievement, your online business should use tougher, end-to-end specific bandwidth the fact that generates extremely trustworthy and even strictly examined QoS (Quality regarding Service).
Some sort of SCM remedy just when sturdy since the the most exhausting bandwidth service around the company. Access to help SCM software in addition to records should be certain for every your customers, throughout and outdoors the main party. Your company has to provide an adequate amount of bandwidth to constant info flow involving desktops and even servers within the company head office, geographically spread suppliers together with partners, manufacturers, distributors, customer support call focuses, and regarding cellular end users and teleworkers. Associations in between machines along with pcs have to supply the needed bandwidth to be able to deliver resource-intensive services, current application data to all clients, in addition to enable integration of tonteria data resources.
At your hq business, wheresoever corporate World-wide-web, application, in addition to data source machines live life together with WAN links are staying, supply and stability will be main. Some sort of redundant backbone moving over buildings along with Gigabit Ethernet, on the web connectivity to help hosting space and also obtain clicks is definitely often advised, along through a vocalizar, enterprise-class course-plotting platform that will supports sophisticated security benefits and WAN bandwidth operations.
In get to make sure that availability eventually, a successful SCM treatment has to be crafted for an component design, device structures, plus market national infrastructure that could raise conveniently while your organization grows. This is certainly called scalability. The treatment has to offer you the capacity to easily provision more WAN bandwidth based on peak demands, to enormity with rising and falling traffic involving vendors and even partners, in order to adapt rapidly as provide chain companions are incorporated or swapped. To carry out this, the best should commonly accommodate brand-new server internet connections, partners, and even locations. Networking routers really should provide enough capacity that will readily and also in the economy opportunity added bandwidth like targeted traffic rises, as well as to add new points as the actual geographic reach in the source company swells.
Any spot needed for your company's SCM infrastructure will stipulate specialized bandwidth so that you can meet the particular functions made at this site. That most likely can involve several combination associated with these kinds of selections and is also dependent on the exact complexity in the deployed SCM system as well as the size connected with your online business:

Church of the Immaculate Conception (Parish Church)
The first church on site appeared in 1584 – soon after Bormla was set apart from the Vittoriosa parish. This church became a Parish in 1587, and was enlarged in 1637, and yet again in 1732 when the Oratory of the Crucifix was built. This was dedicated to the Immaculate Conception after a chapel that was built between 1627-30 and dedicated to the same vocation was abandoned in 1686. Consecrated in 1732, the church was elevated to the dignity of a Collegiate Church by Pope Pius VII in 1828, before being enlarged again in 1880.
The image of the Blessed Virgin above the high altar was crowned by Cardinal Domenico Ferrata in 1905, and further adorned in 1955 when a 12 star silver halo was added by Cardinal Tedeschini.
The original statue of the Immaculate Conception is believed to have been carved out of the trunk of a carob tree by Suor Maria de Domenicis at around 1680. In 1905 the statue was completely covered in silver except for the head, hands and feet.
The church is enriched by other works of art such as masterpieces by renowned painters, sculpted statues – including that of St Michael in wood and a 17
Century wooden crucifix – as well as a number of artefacts in silver and gold.

The Swindon Advertiser reported last week on an upcoming planning meeting that was going to draw a lot of locals out in protest at the siting of 3 wind turbines, at the Honda plant site.
Residents who reckon they'll be within 320 metres of the 400ft turbines aren't against renewable energy, just the suitability of the proposed site.
Noise and 'flicker' are a real concern, according to one resident.
If passed, the 3 turbines would be the tallest structures in Swindon.
What's interesting is the comments the story generated with both sides (for and against) claiming scientific knowledge proves or refutes many of the local residents fears.
You can find the full article and read the comments left by readers of the Swindon Advertiser here.

Trauma, Opioids, and Domestic Violence
Florida's Early Childhood Courts: Transforming Child Welfare
Thursday, June 6, 2019
3:00 – 4:30 pm EST | 2:00 – 3:30 pm CST | 1:00 – 2:30 pm MST
12:00 – 1:30 pm PST | 10:00 – 11:30 am HST | 11:00 am – 12:30 pm AKDT
Hosted by: National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma & Mental Health
|This webinar is co-sponsored by:
Every six minutes in the U.S., an infant, toddler or child under the age of 3 is removed from their homes for alleged abuse and neglect and placed in state custody through the child welfare system (Zero to Three). Florida's twenty-two Early Childhood Court (ECC) teams serve families with children under three years of age in dependency court. Based on the national Safe Babies Court Team model, Florida's ECCs help young children to have safe, stable placement in as short a time as possible, using a trauma-informed, developmentally sensitive, attachment-focused approach – an approach designed to and break the multigenerational cycle of child maltreatment. The combination of a trauma-informed judge, a coordinated team approach, child/parent therapy and other wraparound services and supports "flips the script" to heal underlying trauma for parents struggling with substance use and mental health related issues, family violence, and other trauma, and transforms the way dependency courts work. Caregivers can receive these services to strengthen bonds and further support healing, with sensitivity to placement and transitions towards achieving permanency. Compelling data show expedited permanency and reduced subsequent maltreatment. During this webinar, Judge Lynn Tepper and Dr. Mimi Graham will showcase the process and the compelling outcomes of Florida's Early Childhood Courts.
Presented by:
Mimi Graham, PhD, Director, FSU Center for Prevention and Early Intervention
Dr. Mimi Graham has served as Director of the Florida State University Center for Prevention and Early Intervention Policy since 1993, providing leadership to tackle policy solutions to social problems during The First 1000 Days of Life.

Dr. Graham co-founded the Florida Association for Infant Mental Health in 2002 and built a professional development network in Florida and integrated infant mental health across systems. As a member of the Florida Supreme Court Committee on Children, she created partnerships to create Florida's Early Childhood Court Initiative, an innovative approach to break the multigenerational cycle of abuse. She also spearheaded a think tank of state and community leaders working to create a trauma-informed state resulting in a compilation of a Showcase of Florida's Cutting-Edge Trauma Initiatives. She is a Fellow of Zero to Three National Center for Infants, Toddlers & Families and has received numerous awards for her work.

Warning: This Article is not about Christmas!
December 14, 2017
Santa Claus, gingerbread houses, Carol of the Bells on electric guitar: Christmas dominates the holiday season in every conceivable way. Ever hear a Kwanzaa song on the radio? Ya, me neither. What, have you never heard of Kwanzaa? How about Hanukkah? Maybe you have heard of these holidays, but seeing that over 75% of the school exclusively celebrates Christmas, you don't know much about them. Have no fear, for I have assembled a mighty collection of holiday insight from those in the cultural minority! Ho ho h- wait, that's wrong. Um…dreidel dreidel dreidel!
Hanukkah (or Chanukah, if you like the letter C) is a Jewish holiday celebrating the miracle of the oil. Long ago, the Greeks, who were ruling Jerusalem at the time, tried purging Jewish religion and culture from society. The Jews weren't okay with this for obvious reasons, and lead by Judah the Maccabee, they took back their land and drove out the Greeks (yay!). They then went to rededicate their Holy Temple by lighting its menorah, a seven prong candle holder, but alas! Only one day's worth of oil had escaped the hands of the Greeks. The Jews lit the menorah anyway, and astonishingly, the oil lasted eight days (the time it took to get a fresh supply).
Hanukkah will be celebrated from December 12 through December 20 this year and will be observed in many of the traditional ways. "Each day, gifts are given and one candle is lit. On the last day of hanukkah, the biggest gifts are given," explained Jewish student Malachi Battle, "There are a also few parties during the whole of the celebration. During these parties we sing songs, eat, talk about the story of the MaccAbees and play dreidel!" Customary Hanukkah foods include latkes, which are fried potato pancakes, doughnuts, and more often than not the chocolate coins won from a game of dreidel, a classic spinning top game with a touch of gambling.
The fasting spreading holiday without question is Kwanzaa, a non religious celebration of African heritage started by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966. The concept behind Kwanzaa, which begins a day after Christmas and continues until New Year's Day, is to unite families around the world, who were long ago separated from their roots, in rediscovering their cultural history. The festival draws from multiple sources, as evident by the Hanukkah-like candles, but the principles of Kwanzaa are all its own: Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity), and Imani (faith). Each day is centered around a different principle, with the ultimate goal of bringing a people that has for centuries been divided together again, at least in spirit.
"We need to remember that there are other cultures here in the states, and they need to be represented as well," said Mr. Congo, the Interfaith Club sponsor. Having other holidays to celebrate during what is generally considered as the Christmas season brings us together in different ways and enriches the holiday culture in ways that Rudolph can't. So if your Jewish friend asks you to play dreidel with them, say yes! Just be prepared to lose some chocolate coins.

The process requires users to type a numeric code when logging in from an unrecognised device for the first time.
LinkedIn said the code will be sent to user's phone through SMS and when enabled, two-step verification makes it more difficult for unauthorised users to access a particular account, which requires them to have both password and access to mobile phone.
The new two-step verification process follows about a year after LinkedIn was hacked in June 2012, with as many as 6.5 million passwords were exposed.
Recently, Twitter introduced an optional 'two-factor authentication' feature using mobile phone verification on the social network, as part of its efforts to beef up security after a series of high-profile breaches into its accounts in recent past.
Apple has also added a new level of security to iCloud and Apple ID accounts which requires two-step verification to prevent passwords from being stolen.

Backstreet Boys announce new single, video
BSB will also headline Good Morning America Concert Series this summer
Nineties nostalgia continues as the Backstreet Boys announce they have signed with RCA Records and have released their electric new single "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and music video directed by long time BSB collaborators Rich + Tone. The announcement comes on the heels of the boy band's 25th anniversary.
"The minute we heard this song we knew it was special," says Kevin Richardson. "I geeked out over the piano and synths. When that groove drops on the second verse, COME ON! Great verse, hook and melodies. Just makes you wanna listen over and over again."
In support of the new single, BSB will return to the Good Morning America Summer Concert Series in New York's Central Park on July 13th. The group will also perform at a series of summer radio shows like this year's KIIS FM Wango Tango before returning to their record-breaking Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life Las Vegas residency.
Recorded immediately after the first leg of their highly successful Las Vegas residency, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" has the energy of a group who had a remarkable year and who channeled their excitement into a new song that hits harder and funkier than ever before.
It's hard not to think the group's latest activities didn't shape this track. Whether it's the creative relationship with Florida Georgia Line that earned BSB their first No. 1 country radio single; working with a variety of new and young producers; there's an undeniable energy and creativity surrounding the Backstreet Boys and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is an extraordinary new track from a group who continues to impress 25 years into their storied career.
"We've been working our ass off for 25 years," says AJ McLean "and with the support of RCA and our contemporaries, we know we'll be performing for fans, both old and new, for a really long time. It feels like we're just getting started."
"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" – now available on all digital platforms – was written by Stephen Wrabel (Ellie Goulding) and produced by Stuart Crichton (Kesha) and Jamie Hartman (James Bay).

I used to get taken to Woodhouse Feast as a kid in the 70's and all that stands out for me is the smell! Diesel, fried onions, candy floss, burgers and hotdogs! Ooh, you can't beat it can you? Feasts just aren't the same any more! Took my Godson to one, not in Leeds, a few years back. Did the hook a duck for him and the lad behind the counter was running 3 stalls. He went off and I hooked 3 ducks. When he came back, I told him I'd got the 3 and his response was "Whoopy effing doo"!!!! It soured it slightly for me, but my Godson was delighted with his teddy! You wouldn't have got that attitude in the 70's, would you?!!!

And stalls selling Wright's Brandy Snap, and fried new potatoes (chats?) and the sound - you could hear Morley Feast from Morley Town Hall if the wind was in the right direction. When I worked for Newboulds if the Feast was in the town whose route I was on we'd deliver trays of bridge rolls for the hotdogs and teacakes (breadcakes? baps? buns?) for the hamburgers.

BERLIN (AFP) — Germany firmly believes that Chancellor Angela Merkel's
meeting with the Dalai Lama here on Sunday will not harm its ties with
China, a government spokesman said on Friday.
"We absolutely believe that this private exchange of ideas will not
disturb the good state of German-Chinese relations and cooperation,"
deputy government spokesman Thomas Steg told reporters.
"We believe that they will continue to develop in a positive manner in
future. It was clear during the chancellor's recent visit to China that
it is the interest of both our countries."
Steg signalled that the Dalai Lama's first ever visit to the German
chancellery would go ahead despite pressure from China this week for
Berlin to cancel his visit.
The German foreign ministry said China had summoned its ambassador in
Beijing over the issue.
"The meeting will take place, the invitation stands, and the chancellor
also extended the invitation very consciously," Steg said.
He reiterated Germany's stated policy of supporting Tibet's quest for
"religious and cultural autonomy" and stressed that the Dalai Lama is
not demanding full independence for the Himalayan region that was taken
over by Chinese troops in 1950.
Steg said Merkel believed that the issue of Tibet's future could only be
resolved in talks between Beijing and the exiled religious leader.
In an interview with Saturday's Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, the
Dalai Lama described China's protests to his visit as "the arrogance of
He praised Merkel's "strong commitment" to human rights in China,
adding: "Perhaps that is why she wants to see me, despite all the
pressure from Beijing."
China has bristled for years at the Dalai Lama's international
following. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his non-violent
approach to relations with China.
The 71-year-old Dalai Lama has led a Tibetan government-in-exile in
India since 1959.

R&S VENICE 4K, which had its premiere at NAB in Las Vegas, helps TV studios establish file-based studio production workflows in 4K that resemble HD workflows in their simplicity. R&S VENICE 4K allows direct recording in 4K without any time-consuming stitching processes. As the ingest and production server offers parallel generation of both 4K and HD content, it facilitates production until content is broadcast entirely in 4K. Moreover, R&S VENICE 4K supports a large variety of codecs including XAVC. This way, TV studios experience greater production output as they can adjust their workflows flexibly to the given circumstances, while at the same time being fully prepared to meet future production requirements. By the end of 2015 R&S VENICE 4K will also be available in a space-saving 2U chassis.
The entire feature set of R&S VENICE is suited even better to studio production. The VENICE View software is based on streaming technologies and provides multi-viewer functionality, without the need for additional HD-SDI cabling, delivering a comprehensive overview of all ingest, playout and transcoding channels. The R&S VENICE Play GUI further enhances ease of use especially for studio playout. It offers quick access to all key functions even in hectic production scenarios such as during live shows and news broadcasts. Thanks to its clear and simultaneous display of multiple channels, operators can keep a parallel overview of channels for primary playout in an A/B layout as well as auxiliary channels for secondary playout – they can also control them reliably even under frantic live situations. As the usable VENICE channels are recognized automatically within the network, configuration is made easy and straightforward even under ever-changing production conditions.
With its channel-grouping feature targeted at multi-camera production, R&S VENICE offers parallel recording as well as frame-accurate starting and playout of up to four camera streams per system. Moreover, several R&S VENICE ingest and production servers can be combined with each other to increase the number of channels to suit requirements.
Executive Comment
Timo Klages, Product Manager Broadcast Solutions at Rohde & Schwarz DVS, said, "With our ingest and production server we are supporting broadcasters in establishing future-ready workflows. VENICE 4K makes studio production in 4K possible—while at the same time maintaining proven and efficient workflows."

This particular single offers something of a delightful twist on the idea of "pop" since Liz's work took the "plastic" transcript/writing of Warhol's novel and turned it in to something new and personal in No Work Finished Here. Now The Zeus Twins have done the same with Liz's work, morphing it even further down the artistic spectrum to become something new and mesmerizing.

World Young Horse Champion of very light type.
This extremely sporty show jumper is an interesting pedigree alternative. After winning the young horse world championships for 5 yo in 2005, Quicksilber swiftly moved on to the 1.50 level and aged 7, he was placed at CSI* level with Manuel Fernandez Saro. His quick reactions, ideal bascule and scopey jump earned him the title Res Champion at the Brandenburg approvals. Impressing with his high quality gaits, he was proclaimed the superior winner of his 30 day test and after winning many young horse classes he made it to the finals of the German young horse championships. Quicksilber's sire Quattro was himself successful on an international level and has produced not only top show jumpers up to Olympic level, but also particularly good dressage horses. The dam's sire Restorator, who is well remembered as an international show jumper, achieved much success in East Germany. Quicksilber passes his modern light type on to his progeny: an eye-catching athletic conformation. A colt from his 2007 crop reached the finals of the German foal championships, making him one of the top 10 foals in the country. In 2006 Quicksilber was the producer of the winning foal in Mecklenburg.
