"Now that movie probably, I don't think is performing well, and then will they make another movie with three great powerful women after that?
" Even films that are successful vehicles for actresses, such as "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which boasts a female heroine in Rey, a jedi warrior, have gender issues.
She noted that the recent flop, "The Huntsman: Winter's War," had three starring roles for Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, and Charlize Theron, but suffered in its execution.
"I remember years ago reading scripts and thinking, 'We'll have a chat about this and hopefully it will go,' but now they seem to be splattered everywhere."So what are the mechanics of simulating sex for the camera when titillation is not the primary ambition? And are the days finished when an inexperienced actress could be surprised with a tub of butter, as was 20-year-old Maria Schneider during the infamous sodomy scene (the unscripted brainchild of co-star Marlon Brando) in Last Tango in Paris?See full summary » After racing in New Hampshire, the lonely motorcycle racer Bud Clay drives his van in a five-day journey to California for the next race.Along his trip, he meets fan, lonely women, prostitutes, but he leaves them since he is actually looking for the woman he loves, Daisy.He goes to her house and leaves a note telling where he is lodged.Out of the blue, Daisy appears in his hotel room and soon he learns why he cannot find her.I see a lot of movies, and I've seen a lot o really bad ones.The worst of them is Oscar material if compared to this film.But she acknowledged that the film was intended to push the envelope.

Fantasy Basketball Rankings 2019: Best sleepers from simulation that nailed Lauri Markkanen's breakout
SportsLine simulated the entire NBA season 10,000 times and identified must-draft Fantasy basketball sleepers
In an NBA offseason defined by sweeping change, NBA MVP and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is looking to dominate the Eastern Conference with Kawhi Leonard leaving the Raptors for the Clippers and the Nets still a year of rehab away from being able to unite Kevin Durant (Achilles) with Kyrie Irving. But will losing Malcolm Brogdon set Milwaukee back? And how will sharpshooters Wesley Matthews and Kyle Korver help spread the floor for Milwaukee's core? It could all have a major impact on the 2019 Fantasy basketball rankings. As owners try to identify the 2019 Fantasy basketball sleepers who might take their team over the top, they'll have to weigh how all the offseason change affects everything in the NBA. So before your upcoming Fantasy basketball drafts, be sure to check out the 2019 Fantasy basketball cheat sheets and rankings from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Last season, for example, the model identified Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen as one of its Fantasy basketball sleepers. The All-Rookie from 2017-18 averaged 15.2 points and 7.5 rebounds in his first season in Chicago, but took a major step forward just as the model predicted in Year No. 2, averaging 18.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per game while shooting nearly identical percentage of 43 percent from the floor and 36 percent from beyond the arc. The model also nailed Aaron Gordon's big season the year prior, calling for a 20 percent production increase as he went from 12.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game to 17.6 and 7.9.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the upcoming season 10,000 times and released its latest Fantasy basketball rankings 2019, along with plenty of sleepers, breakouts and busts. This model is powered by the same people who powered projections for all three major Fantasy sites. And that same group is sharing its 2019 Fantasy basketball cheat sheets.
SportsLine's cheat sheets and rankings, available for leagues on many major sites, are updated multiple times every day. Any time an injury occurs or there's a change on a roster, the team at SportsLine updates its cheat sheets.
One of the biggest 2019 Fantasy basketball sleepers according to SportsLine's model: Raptors center Serge Ibaka. The veteran had his best season since 2013-14 with the Thunder last season in Toronto, averaging 15.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game while helping the Raptors to their first-ever title.
Now, with Leonard leaving in free agency to join the Clippers, Ibaka, Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam and Marc Gasol will all have to take on larger scoring roles to make up for the loss. That should mean more minutes, more shots and more overall productivity for Ibaka. Which is why the SportsLine Projection Model ranks him ahead of players with eight-round ADPs like Jonas Valanciunas, DeAndre Jordan and Thomas Bryant despite a ninth-round 2019 Fantasy basketball ADP of his own.
Another sleeper the model loves: Mavericks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. The former Michigan guard spent two seasons in New York, two seasons in Atlanta and then almost two seasons in New York again before he was traded to the Mavericks as part of the Kristaps Porzingis-Dennis Smith Jr. trade a season ago. Now he should benefit from being part of an emerging Mavericks squad.
Dallas will get Porzingis back from injury to start the season and reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Luka Doncic needs a wing partner who can score. As it so happens, that's been Hardaway's niche his entire career. Hardaway has averaged 17.5 ppg and 18.1 ppg the last two seasons, and Doncic's creativity, combined with Porzingis' ability to spread the floor should yield higher-quality scoring looks for Hardaway. That's why he ranks ahead of Josh Richardson (7th round ADP), Brandon Ingram (8th) and Caris LeVert (8th) in SportsLine's rankings despite an ADP of 96.40 (9th round).
SportsLine's 2019 Fantasy basketball cheat sheets also have a stunning prediction for Pelicans forward Zion Williamson who was drafted No. 1 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. Knowing what value you can get out of the most exciting superstar to enter the league since LeBron James could be the difference between winning and losing your league.
So what Fantasy basketball sleepers should you be all over? And where should Zion Williamson be in your Fantasy basketball rankings? Visit SportsLine now to get Fantasy basketball cheat sheets from the proven model that powered all three Fantasy sites and find out.

Identity, Priorities And A Rocking Horse Graveyard
Having young kids is hard. Taking care of your priorities is challenging…and I believe putting our kids first isn't necessarily healthy.
Having young kids is hard. Taking care of your priorities is challenging…and I believe putting our kids first isn't necessarily healthy.
Have you ever taken a personality test? They are useful tools to help understand not only how your brain works, but also your personal uniqueness.
Do you considered uniqueness something you should be rocking out regularly? Oh, I sincerely hope so. Because embracing your uniqueness is imperative…
Wow, 39 weeks pregnant already. It's gone by so fast! With my first pregnancy, I remember anxiously waiting on each and every step. I would read the weekly updates about gestational development and count down the weeks religiously. The nursery was washed, organised and prepped months in advance. I also remember how few pregnancy tools […]
They're the good girls who have their lives together…But I hate to break it to you, the "good Christian girl" is a complete misnomer
Hi, I'm Caitlin…I've spent most of my life without a clue about who I am. And I believe it's more of a wide-spread issue than we realize.
I was listening to a speaker yesterday, and they said something that hit me between the eyes. In the middle of their 18-minute talk, they suddenly blurted out, "You've gone through enough in life! It's okay to feel joy."
Something in my head clicked. I realized I had been denying myself permission to feel joy for a long…long time.
I'm so glad hormones are getting a better reputation these days… Especially when — in all reality — we should really love our hormones.
We do it every year. The first rolls around and – even if we promised ourselves not to – we make resolutions. Resolutions to be healthier, too work out more, to eat better… Little do we know we're setting ourselves up for failure, because January is the worse possible month to make resolutions.
Winter can be a rough time for all of us. It's cold, the days are short and often our moods follow suit. But there's a simple way to make the blues more manageable. You guessed it, citrus essential oils.

Not-for-profit organisations face many of the same challenges as their profit-driven counterparts. The most significant of these is usually cash flow, because very few operations enjoy a perpetual surplus of funds.
Without enough cash, an organisation can't employ staff, rent premises, buy services or market itself to potential customers. Nor can it expand operations or bridge the gap between paying suppliers and getting payment in from customers.
There are as many forms of raising this cash that are available to non profits as there are to fully commercial organisations. Invoice factoring, overdrafts, bank loans and personal loans are all common ways of raising working capital.
How invoice factoring works for non profit organisations
The principle of invoice factoring is that the lender advances funds against the value of an invoice raised on another organisation. The amount advanced is typically between 70% and 90%, with the balance being paid over, less a small fee, once the debt is settled.
This makes invoice factoring accessible to any form of business, whatever its profit motive and legal form, which offers credit terms to other organisations.
For example, a Community Interest Company (CIC) may run a room hire and conferencing service on behalf of a community building. Their customers could include local businesses and councils, who are given credit terms of 30 days.
These invoices could be eligible for invoice factoring – allowing the CIC to raise valuable working capital, either to pay suppliers or invest in the development of new services or markets.
Invoice factoring can cover cash flow shortfalls
As with fully commercial businesses, a not-for-profit can run into cash flow problems at any time during its lifecycle. The sudden failure of a major customer or the unexpected withdrawal of bank overdraft facilities can pull the plug on its work capital, draining cash to the point where business continuity is threatened.
At a time like this, invoice factoring could, literally, save the business. It allows the organisation to unlock the cash that's tied up in unpaid sales invoices. Even an advance of 70% against sales ledger debts of just £10,000 will inject £7,000 into the business. This could be enough to, say, run the next payroll or ensure HMRC payments are made on time.
Other benefits of invoice factoring to non profit organisations
Factoring isn't just about improving working capital. It can also help reduce the burden which credit control often places on businesses.
The factoring funder will take over responsibility for debt chasing, releasing the organisation's staff for potentially more productive activities. Factoring can also free up management time, as less time needs to be spent addressing cash flow issues. That's not to say there's no need for ongoing cash flow planning, but some of the urgency, and stress, is taken out of it.
Many of today's factoring arrangements are available on the basis of a three month rolling contract. There is no need to be tied into a 12 month arrangement if that's not required.
Any non profit organisation considering invoice factoring should take care to review the different options available in order to find the deal, and funder, best suited to their needs.

TPN – The Pallet Network operates a "Hub and Spoke" distribution model, based on the analogy of a bicycle wheel.
TPN Members, of which Hallam Express are just one, collect pallets from their customers, consolidate and trunk that freight to the Hub facility at Minworth. This is then unloaded at the Hub and is checked, scanned and placed into numbered bays representing specific postcode areas within the UK, Ireland and Europe. Each TPN Member is a regional specialist with an allocated area.
The pallets are then loaded onto trunk vehicles destined for these specific postcodes and the vehicles return to the Members' Depots. On arrival at the Depot, the freight is unloaded, checked and scanned before being loaded onto delivery vehicles and despatched for delivery

There is a lot in life we cannot control. For myself, living with an autoimmune disease, Type 1 Diabetes, there is certainly alot in life I cannot control. I can't control that my body wants to "attack itself" on the daily. I can do the same thing each day, take the same amount of medicine, and yet still experience very different results each day. I can do my best, but sometimes my disease takes over.
But what I can control? My response. My decision to choose joy even when I want to give up. I can do my best to nourish myself, to seek help and ultimately to choose joy!
The emotion of joy puts your body in a positive state both physically and emotionally. Anything you can do to increase joy will greatly impact your health. Yes, it is said that happy people, content people and those that laugh often live longer, have stronger immune systems and experience less health issues!
5 Ways to Add More Joy To Your Day
Walk + Move
Walking truly has become like therapy to me—I started consistently walking daily after my miscarriage and it has brought so much healing to my days. Walking not only gets your blood flowing, lymph moving and oxygen circulating to your body, but it also releases endorphins, which are chemicals released by the body that sort of act like "natural painkillers" and make us happy!
And, just as I have experienced in my own life, many therapists agree that walking can be a form of "therapy" as it physically moves you forward—walking can help clear your mind and help you become "un-stuck" as you are physically and psychologically moving forward.
Anytime I am feeling down, tired or lacking in drive and creativity, I try to get out and move, soaking in the fresh air and sunshine, and its always amazing how instantly my mood is boosted! I always joke that some of my best ideas are created during walks, but it really is so true!
Choose Joy
Quite literally one of the best ways to add more joy to your day is to choose it. And, no, it's not always easy!
There is so much in life we cannot control—but there is much in life we can control, and one of the biggest things we can control is our reaction to our circumstances! Bad things happen and it is ok to be frustrated or upset, that is just a natural reaction. But choosing to constantly dwell on the bad and let that determine your day is no way to live!
Ultimately you have to choose joy. words I have tattooed on my arm as a constant reminder. I firmly believe that even in the difficult times, there is a greater plan! Choose to focus on the positive, find the silver lining and find the beauty in the pain.
Snuggle a Baby, Puppy or Your Favorite Human
Oxytocin, the love hormone, is released when snuggling or hugging! Oxytocin and cortisol (the stress hormone) are on opposing teams, so when one goes up the other goes down—translation: when you boost your oxytocin, you naturally decrease your cortisol and stress levels. Stress is a thief of joy, so anyway you can decrease stress you will naturally increase joy in your day. Plus, who can resist cute babies or puppies?!
Find Beauty
Admiring the beauty of this world we live in, and most importantly finding beauty in the little things of life, will boost your mood and bring joy to your day. Take pleasure in life's little moments like watching a sunset, admiring the flowers or trees as you walk, buying fresh flowers for your home or sharing a beautiful moment together with a loved one.
Commit + Accomplish
For the achievers, Type A personalities like myself, accomplishing a task can bring so much contentment and joy to the day. Putting off tasks or dreams only delays the inevitable and can leave you feeling frustrated and discontent with yourself, putting your physical and emotional being in a negative state!
So make a list and start accomplishing a test completely, make sure to tie up the loose ends so that you get that you get to experience the full satisfaction and contentment emotion! Don't forget to add taking care of yourself to that to-do list—making self-care a priority will make you a happier human but also allow you to serve others better.

For Immediate Release:
California Billion Trees Initiative
California Billion Trees Initiative (CBTI)
Santa Barbara, California - May 2019
Today marks the launch of the California Billion Trees Initiative.
The time has finally arrived to begin the mass planting of trees to mitigate climate change, and to increase biospheric resiliency in the face of unprecedented global catastrophe.
Tree initiatives often focus solely on the number of trees planted, not the number of trees established.
Tree planting is relatively easy, but establishing those trees so they successfully grow on their own, without human intervention, is the true challenge.
The world needs established trees, so established trees will be the focus of the CBTI, with the goal of 1 billion new trees established in California by 2030.
Meeting this goal will require not only substantial effort to plant and establish trees, but will also demand careful tracking and record-keeping to ensure success.
These newly established trees will persist for decades, buffering the human experience along the unforeseen road ahead.
CBTI isn't primarily about feeling good.
CBTI is about doing good.
For real.
What are you willing to do to win the most important battle of our time?

T-Mobile launches the Rocket 4G Prepaid for $60 & announces new plan changes
Luckily, T-Mobile is now selling the prepaid Rocket 4G USB modem just for a mere $59.99 – which is pretty nice considering you're not tied down with any commitments. Sure you can pick up the recently launched T-Mobile 4G Mobile Hotspot, but you'll have to make payments on that thing for the next 2 years.

Sunday 10 November 2019Tickets sold out
Jon Bellion Has sold out!
Jon Bellion All Ages / under 18 & R18 current allocations have sold out.
Attendees holding an All Ages ticket will gain entry to the All Ages / unlicenced area within the venue.
Attendees entering the licenced areas must be over 18 years. Current ID will be required to enter the licenced areas. Valid forms of ID are: a current NZ passport, a current New Zealand driver's licence, or a HANZ 18+ card.
Jon Bellion Live in November
The rumors are true. JON BELLION, the 28-year-old songwriter and producer today announces he will visit New Zealand for a headline show this November. Known best for his hit single, 'All Time Low', which went platinum in New Zealand, Bellion will be finishing his Australasian Tour in Auckland at the Powerstation on November 10.
Jon Bellion is a self-made man. The New York-based singer, songwriter and producer has built a remarkable following by sharing his music directly with listeners and to date, now boasts over half a billion streams worldwide. First getting his start with a series of mixtapes featuring his own original songs – all recorded in his parents' basement, Bellion managed to give away more than 200,000 free downloads, subsequently building him a huge fanbase.
In 2016 Jon released his full-length debut, "The Human Condition", which entered the Billboard 200 at #5 and quickly earned a spot-on Billboard's "Best Albums of 2016 (So Far)" list. Bellion's first single, 'All Time Low' was certified Gold, named in NPR's "Top 100 songs of 2016", and skyrocketed into the top 15 across US Top 40 radio. Operating in duality as a highly sought-after collaborator, Bellion co-wrote and produced 'Trumpets' for Jason Derulo and co-wrote the GRAMMY Award winning, 10x-Platinum hit 'The Monster' for Eminem and Rihanna. He also co-wrote and co-produced Christina Aguilera's 2018 single, 'Fall in Line', which featured Demi Lovato.
His latest album, "Glory Sound Prep", illuminates the vast scope of his genre-defying musical and lyrical vision; threading together pop, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, and rock over the course of the ten-track trip, welcoming listeners into his world with open arms. Having toured relentlessly over the past few years, Bellion has not only completed two huge sold out tours of his own, but also shared the stage with artists such as Twenty Øne Piløts, opening up for them across their 2017 North American arena tour, even claiming a coveted festival slot at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in 2017.
Following up on a promise made in 2017, Bellion finally makes his way to New Zealand for one massive headline show – an opportunity not to be missed!THIS SHOW IS BOTH ALL AGES & LICENSED R18 - FOR MORE INFO ON AGE RESTRICTIONS CLICK HERE.

This is one of the toughest but most important times for you to take care of yourself.
Your own needs immediately take a back seat to those of your baby. You may feel anxious about your baby or your ability to care for her. But making sure you're as healthy as possible is a great way to ensure that you have the most to give to your family. And, of course, you're welcome to bring your baby along to your appointment.
Postpartum Conditions Treated with Acupuncture include:
Breastfeeding support and milk supply
Birth recovery
C-section healing/recovery/scar reduction
Postnatal emotional health: PPD (postpartum depression)/PPA (postpartum anxiety)
Musculoskeletal and pain disorders
Postnatal depletion/fatigue
Incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders
New moms need support. Lots of support.
If you're struggling with breastfeeding, the first person you talk to should be a qualified lactation consultant and the second should be your acupuncturist! Lots of people know that acupuncture can boost your milk supply. But did you know that it also help treat blocked ducts and mastitis? Yup, it's true.
Acupuncture and your pelvic floor.
Postpartum urinary incontinence and pelvic floor issues are WAY more common than anyone admits. For many women these issues resolve on their own within a year of giving birth. But for some people they can linger for years without treatment. Fortunately more and more women are recognising the importance of pelvic floor health and the treatment options that are available.
Clinical trial evidence shows that acupuncture is equally as effective as physiotherapy for treating postpartum urinary incontinence.
Acupuncture is covered by most extended health care plans and MSP if you qualify for premium assistance. Direct insurance billing is available for participating insurers. To find out if I can bill your insurer directly, please ask.
Book Online
I'm very excited to have joined the Team at Klinik located in Vancouver at Main & 17th.
Location: 101 - 225 East 17th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5V 1A5
Availability: Tuesday & Thursdays

Co-op store in Daventry robbed at knife-point
A Co-op store in a Northamptonshire town has been robbed at knife-point.
The robbery took place at the supermarket in Edinburgh Square, Daventry, at about 1350 GMT on Monday.
Police said a man walked into the shop and threatened the shopkeeper with a knife, demanding money, before making off with a significant amount of money.
He was described as white, aged in his 20s, about 6ft (1.83m) tall, of slim build, with a pock marked face and high cheek bones.
He wore a baseball cap, dark coloured hooded top and grey tracksuit bottoms.
Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may have any information regarding it.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Phil Jackson has a new role as president of the Knicks, and there are times, he said, when he has to resist the urge to yell at the officials.
It is the old coach in him, and when Carmelo Anthony and Joe Johnson engaged in some physical play Wednesday night in the Knicks' victory over the Nets, Jackson did his best to keep quiet from his seat several rows behind the bench.
"I can't be too vocal about what I see going on all the time out there," he said.
On Thursday, Jackson fielded 17 questions from the news media at the team's training center, on topics ranging from the playoffs (now a distinct possibility) to the performance of Coach Mike Woodson ("a pro") to the alleged influence of Creative Artists Agency on the Knicks (none on him). It was an opportunity for Jackson to deliver his first public comments since March 25, when the Knicks opened a five-game trip by being crushed by the Los Angeles Lakers in a performance that Jackson considered "awful."
That day, he left his luxury suite in the fourth quarter so he could walk his dog.
Much has changed in the interim, with the Knicks (33-43) — winners of 12 of their last 15 — moving ahead of the Atlanta Hawks (32-42) by percentage points for the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoff chase. The Cleveland Cavaliers (31-45) are also in the mix, two games back.
While acknowledging the Knicks' inconsistency, Jackson said he had been pleased by their late-season effort.
"I feel like they've played a lot better against higher-quality teams, or tougher teams, than they have sometimes against also-rans," he said. "But I think they're playing with great energy now, and they seem to be playing with purpose. And I appreciate that."
Jackson cited the improved play of J. R. Smith as a catalyst — Anthony no longer has to handle quite so much of the scoring burden — and echoed Tyson Chandler's recent comments that the Knicks could cause trouble in the playoffs. At the same time, Jackson said that evaluating personnel in the postseason would be beneficial to him.
"When you play a team in a seven-game series, you really see who's going to be attacked, how they stand up to the pressure, how they perform in critical situations," he said. "Those are all valuable lessons, and some of them specifically have cost players jobs and roles because people see their weaknesses."
Jackson said he had spoken with Anthony on several occasions, not so much about the future but about the season at hand. Jackson described their conversations as a "getting-to-know-you type of thing." Anthony has said he intends to become a free agent this summer.
"He's had to carry a big load, and it's been a tough year for him," Jackson said. "It's been a tough year for everyone. But I just think he feels the weight of it a lot more on himself."
In addition to being in daily contact with Steve Mills, who has been operating as general manager since Jackson replaced him as president, Jackson has spent time this week chatting with members of the scouting department. Though the team will probably lack much flexibility under the salary cap until 2015, Jackson said there were "always ways to make moves."
Jackson touched on several other issues.
On the virtues of the triangle offense: "You have guys who are in balance, and there's an opportunity to defend from your offense, and that's how the basketball game connects."
On Iman Shumpert's solid defense against the Nets: "I was able to tell Iman today that that's what has to be seen on a basis from game to game. It may not happen every game, but those are things that break games open."
On Woodson's defensive system: "Mike has a philosophy. It's worked for him in the past. It worked for him in Atlanta. And the big thing is you have to have players buying into it. They have to believe in it. And I think one of the big reasons why they've been successful in the last month and a half has been that their defense has improved."
On whether he has any desire to return to the bench: "I have no intention of coaching."

State Fined Reston Association for Child Labor Law Violations Last Year
The state fined Reston Association $12,000 for violating child labor laws late last year.
The state's Department of Labor and Industry issued fines in October 2018 after an investigation found "numerous violations" regarding minors employed as aquatics attendants or lifeguards, according to an August 2018 inspection report obtained by Reston Now.
Child labor law violations included minors working more than eight hours a day and more than 40 hours a week. The investigation also found that some minors were working without any indicated breaks, employment certificates or lifeguard certificates.
The most common violation cited in the investigation was allowing minors to work more than eight hours a day. Virginia's child labor laws allow minors between ages 14 and 15 to work a maximum of eight hours per day on a non-school day. Work hours depend on school schedules and the type of occupation.
Mike Leone, RA's spokesperson, declined to release any information about the citation, including whether or not it was disputed by RA or how RA is working to ensure issues flagged by the investigation do not occur again.
"As previously communicated, RA does not comment publicly on personnel-related matters," Leone wrote in an email. Additionally, RA's policy states that only RA's board president, CEO and spokesperson are authorized to speak to media.
Sources told Reston Now that the investigation was discussed in closed session during a Board of Directors meeting at a date that was not identified.
In recent years, RA has struggled to staff pools due to a shortage of lifeguards — an issue that is part of an industry-wide shortage of lifeguards.
Due to the lack of qualified candidates, some aquatics facilities were changing hours or closing facilities as they step up efforts to hire for seasonal positions.
Staff shortages when schools were in session prompted the closures of several pools operated by RA. Leone told Reston Now the shortages were resolved on June 23 when 14 of the 15 pools operated by RA were open. New applicants were on-boarded and completed training courses, and more employees were available due to the end of the school year, Leone said.
A source familiar with the state's labor law investigation and on-boarding of lifeguards, however, said that part of the reason for delays in opening the pools was because lifeguards did not have required safety certifications to begin working — an issue that was spotted by administrative staff "far too late" once pools were already scheduled to open. Certifications were expired or still in the process of being received, the source said.
Others chose not to return due to alleged mismanagement of aquatics facilities.
"Some people felt they were overworked and thrown into the job without on-boarding," a source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear of reprisal, said.
Leone said that some staff members were unable to begin working or register for courses due to personal schedules and commitments until the end of the school year. Once courses were completed, the shortage was alleviated.
"In light of our short window of operation (four months [from] May-Sept.) and onboarding process, we do conduct some interviews prior to applicants' completion of lifeguard training classes for efficiency to avoid delays, an offer is contingent upon completion of the certification course and skill assessment," Leone wrote.
As the number of lifeguard applicants has declined over the last five years, RA moved to change staffing structures by hiring desk attendants and pool operators to serve as stand-alone positions from lifeguards.
In the future, RA plans to address staff shortages at pools by exploring increases in hourly rates for lifeguards, changes to the pool schedules during peak hours and other recruitment and retention efforts.

DMV 2 Go to Reinstate Suspended Driver's Licenses
Gov. Ralph Northam will be in Herndon tomorrow (Tuesday) to promote his successful move to reinstate driver's licenses that were suspended for failure to pay court fines.
Northam's initiative, which began on July 1, allow any Virginian whose driver's license was suspended for failure to pay court fines and costs to have their driving privileges restored. Fees for reinstatement will also be waived.
DMV 2 GO, the state Department of Motor Vehicles' mobile office, will set up shop at the Herndon Fortnightly Library (768 Center Street) to raise awareness about the policy from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
State elected officials will be also be on-site to deliver remarks.
The Virginia General Assembly passed Northam's proposed budget amendment in April, a move that his office said would "help countless others by preventing future debt-related suspensions for the remaining duration of the state budget.
"All Virginians must have a fair opportunity to fulfill their obligations without losing their jobs, their ability to take care for their families, and their dignity," Northam wrote in a statement.
The mobile offices will come to Herndon every third Thursday of the month.

Reno of the Month: The Art of a Hassle-Free Home Remodel
By Nicola Caul Shelley, Synergy Design & Construction
We've all been there. We pin design and remodeling ideas like crazy on Pinterest, sit glued to our favorite HGTV show and watch with envy as another house is transformed into a dream home.
Or, we browse Houzz projects and wonder how such a dark, closed-in Kitchen became a light and airy space that looks twice the size, but… we are completely stuck when it comes to our own home!
There are a number of reasons why this happens:
- Maybe you just don't know where to start, and the different ways to remodel is making your head spin
- The horror stories of renovation nightmares made you wary of taking on a remodeling project of your own
- You just don't want to deal with the disruption and stress and put up with a space even though it bothers you every time you walk into it
It doesn't have to be like this! While remodeling can be tricky, it doesn't need to be stressful. It is possible to have a more zen-like experience and keep your stress in check. While there are many ways to feel more in control, here's a FREE download of the top ten: Ten Secrets to a Stress-Free Home Remodel.
This month's featured remodel is a single family home in Reston. Our clients were ready to update the home to better reflect the contemporary architecture as well as open up the floor plan of the Main Level. As a busy and musical family of five (with their eldest child soon to be college-bound), they have A LOT going on!
It would have been easy to put it off indefinitely or wait until all the kids were in college before getting started, but the entire family were "all in" and ready to partner with us to keep stress to a minimum during their remodel. Our main goal was to create more open, light filled spaces to allow the family to gather together and enjoy their home for many years to come.
If you've been thinking about remodeling for a while, but just keep putting it off because it all seems too much of a hassle, now is a good time to take the first step on your stress-free remodeling journey!
Legal Insider: U.S. Women's Soccer Team Members File Suit for Unequal Pay
This is a sponsored column by attorneys John Berry and Kimberly Berry of Berry & Berry, PLLC, an employment and labor law firm located in Northern Virginia that specializes in federal employee, security clearance, retirement and private sector employee matters.
By John V. Berry, Esq.
In April of 2016, we earlier wrote on the efforts of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team and their efforts to receive equal pay as compared to the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team.
Much has happened in the past three years to warrant an update. For one, the women's team has won another World Cup, recently with a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands. For another, national sponsors of soccer (e.g., Procter and Gamble) have begun to join the fight for equal pay on the side of the women's team. Lastly, the equal pay movement has become stronger over the past three years. Attached is a copy of the original equal pay complaint.
Equal Pay Cases Take a Long Time
It is an unfortunate fact that the EEOC has taken so long with this case. As mentioned earlier, the case started in early 2016 and originally involved the five team captains of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team, such as Hope Solo and Carli Lloyd, who filed a wage discrimination complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on behalf of all members of the women's team against the U.S. Soccer Federation.
Since the 3-year delay at the EEOC, all 28 women's team players have withdrawn their EEOC case and filed suit in the federal district court in Los Angeles, alleging that the U.S. Soccer Federation has engaged in several years of institutional gender discrimination. A copy of that complaint is linked.
Equal Pay Complaint
In the latest filing by plaintiffs Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and other women's team members, they allege the serious pay discrepancies that continue to exist between the men's and women's teams.
Specifically, members of the women's team can potentially earn a maximum of $99,000 a year, while members of the men's team earn an average of $263,320 per year. Other disparities include the U.S. Soccer Federation only providing charter air flights to the men's team in 2017, but requiring the women's team to take commercial air flights.
The reason why this case is so newsworthy is the fact that the women's team has been out performing the men's team in rankings and World Cup wins for a long time. The women's team has been ranked number one in the world for 10 of the past 11 years. Also, in more recent years, the women's team has been outperforming the men's team in revenue and profits as well, and in viewership. For instance, the 2019 Women's Cup Final viewership was 22% higher than the 2018 Men's Cup Final.
While the Soccer Federation has claimed market considerations as the reason for paying the men's team more, the women's team, according to the complaint, has started to outperform the men's soccer team in revenue and profit in the most recent accounts. Additionally, according to the complaint, the women's team had even proposed a revenue-sharing agreement where women's player compensation would be less if their revenue decreased. It seems as if the U.S. Soccer Federation needs a reality check.
It is time that the U.S. Soccer Federation recognize and pay the women's team at least the same as their male counterparts on the two national teams and provide them the same benefits. We represent employees in employment matters.

The Poison Genius Consort - Chapter 206
Chapter 206: Murderous intentions, nobody knows
The thing that Han Yunxi couldn't fathom was Grand Concubine Yi's attitude. Her high aspirations were famous throughout the imperial clan as someone more onerous than the empress dowager. Just what reason made her so willing to lower herself for Murong Wanru's sake? After all, Murong Wanru's marriage had been a humiliation to begin with. For a person who placed as much emphasis on face as Grand Concubine Yi, how could she pretend nothing at all had happened so soon? Now she even treated Marquis Pingbei's estate as relatives by marriage, an unimaginable thought.
Wasn't it too much of a sacrifice?
The Ministry of Appointments had real power, while the third-ranked minister had position and prestige. Now both of them had to rely on Marquis Pingbei's estate to have face. For the sake of raising up Marquis Pingbei's estate, Grand Concubine Yi had spared nothing to lower her posture. Leaving aside how close she'd gotten with them over the past few months, just going with these three families today to the Spring Hunt would spread rumors. The positions of these three families would rise in a straight line in the capital, earning changes in social attitudes from other big and influential noble families. Grand Concubine Yi had done this for Murong Wanru's sake, but had she ever consulted with His Highness Duke of Qin first? His Highness Duke of Qin had already stepped out to give Zhangsun Che a position at the Ministry of Personnel. Was it still insufficient?
The present respected position of the Duke of Qin's estate was all due to Long Feiye's existence. Without him, Grand Concubine Yi's high aspirations would be nothing more than that of an esteemed imperial concubine past her prime. For the sake of the foster daughter who failed to live up to expectations, she lowered her own social status. This didn't seem like the usual actions of someone with her personality. Han Yunxi had a hundred questions and no answers. She faintly felt that Grand Concubine Yi had started doting on Murong Wanru even more after she was married off. Even after getting on the carriage, Han Yunxi's brows were still furrowed. Meanwhile, Murong Wanru hadn't sat in Marquis Pingbei's carriage, but in their own. She sat next to Grand Concubine Yi while holding her hand.
Long Feiye also found himself at a loss. He looked at the distant silhouettes of the departing carriages and asked coldly, ''Why the early departure this year?'' He hadn't traveled with Grand Concubine Yi in the previous years, but she would always set out after her noonday rest.
''Gui mama from esteemed imperial concubine's courtyard said that this was esteemed wangfei's idea. She said that leaving earlier would leave more time to see the scenery along the way. She also mentioned that to avoid the other caravans, she chose the royal ravine as her path. It's rather remote and out of the way,'' a guard reported in a low voice.
Han Yunxi's idea? For the sake of watching the scenery?
This woman's hobbies weren't bad, but had she ever considered the issue of safety? A flash of unhappiness went past Long Feiye's eyes. He didn't ask much more, but said icily, ''Instruct Chu Xifeng to go along with the plan.''
''Yes!'' the guard obeyed and left, his heart puzzled. Why didn't His Highness express any views on esteemed imperial concubine traveling with the three other families?
As the carriage sped along, it quickly went out of the imperial city. A carriage in charge of clearing the path led the way, followed by Grand Concubine Yi's carriage and the other three families. On the road, Murong Wanru accompanied Grand Concubine Yi for small talk, and the two got along just like a mother and daughter pair. One sentence of Murong Wanru's was enough to amuse Grand Concubine Yi. As they led from one topic to another, it felt like the conversation would never end. Nestled in one corner, Han Yunxi couldn't fall asleep even though she wanted to. The topics they were chatting about were all unfamiliar to her, so she couldn't join in.
She was too lazy to join in the fun anyways, so she leaned on the window to look about the scenery passing by. But gradually, Han Yunxi felt that something was wrong. Why was the carriage path turning more desolate and wild? Turning back, she asked, ''Mufei, we're not going via the main road?''
There was a main road that led directly from the capital city to North Pond County. It was level and extremely easy to traverse. Though Han Yunxi knew nothing about roads, she was sure the one before them wasn't a major thoroughfare! Grand Concubine Yi was happily chatting and didn't hear Han Yunxi's words clearly. Carelessly she asked, ''What?''
''Mufei, did we take the wrong path? Where is this place?'' Han Yunxi asked seriously.
Only then did Grand Concubine Yi's suspicions rise. She was about to rise and look out the window when the carriage suddenly came to a stop!
''Ah...!'' Grand Concubine Yi and Murong Wanru cried out at the same time as they both fell forwards. Luckily, Han Yunxi reacted quickly. With one hand braced on the window, her other hand reached out to grab Grand Concubine Yi's hand, stilling her in place. It was Murong Wanru who crashed into the doorframe.
Before they could recover, the guards yelled from outside, ''Assassins, protect the masters!''
''Assassins? Heavens!'' Grand Concubine Yi shrieked as her face paled. She shrank inside as much as she could, not because she lacked self-possession, but because she'd rarely met with danger in her life.
Murong Wanru's eyes flashed coldly before she withdrew to Grand Concubine Yi's side and asked in a rush, ''Mufei, what to do? Why would there be assassins?''
How would Grand Concubine Yi know? Quickly, mother and daughter ended up hugging each other. Meanwhile, the sounds of combat grew louder and louder as the weapons clashed. It made one alarmed to hear it. Judging by the sound alone, there had to be countless assassins!
''Wanru, take good care of mufei!'' Han Yunxi left these words before quickly deciding to get off the carriage. Seeing this, Murong Wanru was both surprised and delighted. Han Yunxi, ah, Han Yunxi, I never expected you to have the guts to leave. Since you have, it'll be much easier to accomplish my goal! Thinking up to here, she feigned terror as she hugged Grand Concubine Yi tighter. Meanwhile, her other hand silently drew out three acupuncture needles out of her sleeve and waited for her chance. Han Yunxi would've never expected that to happen. Grand Concubine Yi and Murong Wanru were people who were so close that they could share a single heart. Leaving that mother and daughter pair on board should've been the safest choice.
As soon as she left the carriage, she saw their guards fighting off black-robed assassins. The few carriages behind them were in the same situation. She stood to the side without making a move, coldly surveying the movements of the assassins around them.
Why did the carriage take a side road instead of the main one? Even supposing that this was the normal path, who in the capital city and all its environs had the guts to attack the Duke of Qin's carriage? Did these assassins came to rob them, or were they after the occupants inside? Han Yunxi immediately thought of Northern Li's Duke of Kang, but these assassins weren't skilled experts. They still couldn't win after prolonged fighting with the guards. Northern Li's Duke of Kang shouldn't have such weak subordinates, right?
While Han Yunxi was still thinking, a black-robed assassin broke through the guards and flew towards the carriage with sword in hand. Han Yunxi's eyes turned cold as she raised her hand and aimed. A single needle flew out from her wrist and accurately hit the man between the eyebrows!
Seeing this, all the guards were astonished. The assassins, too, looked over. Of course, all of this happened in an instant before they quickly resumed fighting. Han Yunxi's lips rose in a smile before she carelessly turned around and ended another assassin who sought to sneak up on her from behind. She was serious yet controlled when facing an expert like Chu Xifeng in their bout, but now she had free rein to let loose against these assassins! It was rare to have first hand battle experience. With so many people around, Han Yunxi's mood spiked. Gradually, she left the carriage behind her and claimed an unworthy place in the struggle.
When the assassins saw her coming, they all rushed towards her. But her figure was as quick as a wild goose, her every movement elegant beyond compare. Even so, that elegance silently sent out needle after needle that dropped the assassins one by one. The sight was enough for the guards to stop without thinking, while the assassins stopped surrounding the carriages to surround Han Yunxi instead, 20 of them altogether. Han Yunxi wasn't a bit afraid, but played to her heart's content. She dodged the assassin's sword on one end while shooting needles from the other. Sometimes she'd lean back, sometimes she'd bow forward;sometimes she'd turn her body sideways, sometimes she'd spin in place. Her movements grew easier and smoother as it gradually approached the realm of floating clouds and flowing waters. It was as if she was performing a stirring dance all her own.
On one side, the concealed Chu Xifeng watched until his mouth started twitching. He wasn't sure how to judge this woman anymore. Again, he had to suspect: was she really a waste at martial arts? Meanwhile, the Long Feiye standing behind him was also watching with rapt attention, his icy lips rising in an indulgent smile. They were planning to lie in ambush for Northern Li's Duke of Kang, but other assassins had arrived instead. Of course, he didn't plan to reveal himself.
None of the passengers in the other carriage dared to get off, while all of the guards had turned into spectators. While Han Yunxi enjoyed herself, Grand Concubine Yi...was stuck on the border between life and death! Inside the carriage, Grand Concubine Yi was huddled up into a ball, her mouth gagged. She stared disbelievingly with wide eyes at Murong Wanru. Her face was three parts paler than that of a corpse. The daughter who had been holding her hand and chatting happily just then was now planning to kill her!
The daughter she'd doted on for ten years with all her heart actually held murderous intentions?
Just why was this?
Grand Concubine Yi couldn't believe her own eyes. Even if this was a dream, she never imagined that she'd have this sort of nightmare! She'd always been timid and cowardly, but now her shock exceeded her fear.
No, she couldn't accept this reality!
Murong Wanru allowed her to stare as she calmly took out three acupuncture needles and amusedly counted them one by one. Her fine, exquisite face gradually revealed a cold, twisted smile as she spoke in a soft, slow voice that made one shiver. ''Mufei, do you know? A doctor once told me, as long as one...firmly stabs the Mingkong Point with three needles, it's guaranteed...that the person, will die!''
Finally, Grand Concubine Yi was afraid. Fear exceeded her shock until her red eyes were glancing between Murong Wanru's face and the needles in her hands. She couldn't stop shaking her head, afraid, as muffled sobbing came from her throat. Her tears turned her eyes red as if they were filled with blood.
''Why are you looking at me like that, mufei?'' Murong Wanru's voice was all innocence. ''Mufei? Why are you crying? Counting back, I've called you mufei for so many years...'' At this point, her voice turned sharp and fierce.
''Were all those 'mufei's for nothing?''
She suddenly drew closer at those words, the point of the needles resting over the acupoint on Grand Concubine Yi's neck. The icy, sharp tips of the metal made Grand Concubine Yi convulsively shudder as cold sweat broke out on her body. She could even sense blood flowing out from the point of contact as it slowly trickled down below.
''Sobsob...sob...'' She didn't dare to shake her head, but burst out with frantic muffled crying that grew louder and louder.
Murong Wanru understood her all too well. She pressed even closer and patiently asked, ''What do you want to say? That despite raising me, I'm repaying your love with hate? That despite how well you've treated me, I'm being ungrateful?''
Grand Concubine Yi wanted to shake her head, but was too afraid to move. She only replied with muffled noises.
Murong Wanru smiled disdainfully. ''Grand Concubine Yi, you've always considered yourself high and mighty above the rest. You even need others to be overwhelmed with gratitude when you favor them with small alms. Do you know how tiring it's been for me to live at your side all these years?''

It's the most wonderful time of year people, it's Christmas time! As every person both young and old knows, it's time to make lists and go shopping for friends and family, and hope that their credit cards and piggy banks don't turn into barren wastelands. As a broke single college girl, all I can ask for in the world is Noah Centineo, the absolute model of male perfection for so many girls throughout the world.
Now, of course, I can't ask jolly old Saint Nick to abduct Noah and bring him to me for Christmas because that would simply be insane. I guess I'll just have to ask for these other things instead.
1. A Dunkin gift card with, I don't know, a thousand dollars on it?
I'm trying my best to kick the habit, but going to Dunkin is something I rely on because dining hall food actually turns your stomach into slop. Dunkin gets me through 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the library Saturday and Sunday before and during finals, so having a thousand dollar gift card would mean so much!
2. No more fire alarms being triggered at ungodly hours next semester
Stop burning your popcorn and your rice, you obnoxious people. Seriously. I don't appreciate being awoken from my slumber by your foolery. This isn't a stocking stuffer but it would really make my last semester living on campus great.
3. Victorian literature to quench my thirst for 19th Century romance
Sweep me off thine feet, oh handsome but faulted protagonist! I want to smell that new book smell while I dive nose deep into a romance that will make me forget how painfully single I am this holiday season. Jane Austen, I'm looking at you girl.
4. "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" on DVD
Please... It fits in my stocking and everything!
5. "Sweet But Psycho" to stop taking over my brain
Santa, leave me some memory erasing cookie or something because I can't function without listening to this song six times a day. I have a problem Santa, I really do.
6. Fuzzy socks that I can't get enough of
I don't care what they look like or where they are from, but I will ask you to find them and put them in my stocking until it overflows.
7. A French Bulldog puppy
I will name him Brian and if it's a girl her name is Mia. I want one, but two would be great! Please, Santa, they'll fit in my stocking quite well.
8. Scrunchies of all prints and fabrics
Scrunchies are a collector's item for millennial women. They serve as both wrist candy and a means to keep your hair out of your face when you have things to do. I'll take them all.
9. A pretty phone case, even if it's not protective
Something with glitter, or maybe stars or something hipster and trendy because I love to be on point and fashion forward. My phone case right now is cute but she's taking a beating. Time for a new one!
10. Motts Fruit Snacks because I'm addicted
Yes, I am five and no I have no shame in admitting this is one of the best foods in the world. I can eat these as my last meal and I'd die a happy woman.
11. Black high top converse
These are sooooo cute and they'd go with everything I own. So when I want to just dress straight fifty shades of black, these can complete my look.
12. Rest because the bags under my eyes are not designer
My body has taken a beating this semester and I'd love the gift of rest. It's free and it goes to a great cause.
13. Cute winter clothes to stunt on my haters
All of my haters can continue looking like trash while I rise above and look fabulous. Cute clothes are essential and I can always use more, because I always have to look my best, unless its finals, by then I don't care.

After the Lord Mayor's Show but Sabine Lisicki eases into semi finals
Yesterday's battle of the nemeses spluttered and flickered but, alas, never caught fire. Sabine Lisicki, the adored scalper of Serena Williams, beat Kaia Kanepi, the confounded scalper of Laura Robson, 6-3, 6-3 and became a Wimbledon semi-finalist for the second time in three years.
Far more than a compelling advertisement for power tennis, though, this was a cogent presentation on behalf of granting women a day off before their quarter-final matches.
Merely 24 hours earlier, Lisicki had stood in the middle of Centre Court and at the focal point of one of this Wimbledon's great dramas, wide-eyed and chewing her knuckles in disbelief after putting out the woman widely believed to have her name on the trophy.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old Kanepi had been stepping fearlessly…
