This spring, Quebec's legislature released its economic plan for the coming year. Buried amidst its 600-plus pages, under the header "Curbing illegal online gambling" was the following paragraph:
For the purpose of curbing illegal online gambling, amendments will be made to the Consumer Protection Act, the Act respecting the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux and the Act respecting the Société des loteries du Québec so that Internet service providers are not allowed to provide access to an online gaming and gambling website whose name is on a list of illegal sites drawn up by Loto-Québec.
Loto-Québec is the province's government-run lottery agency, which also runs the province's four casinos and an online gaming site called Espacejeux (which translates to "Game-space"). It's the poor performance of the latter which has prompted this attempt to cut out the competition through legislative means, despite widespread opposition. EspaceJeux offers not only digital lotteries but also online slots, casino games, sports betting and poker, so if the amendments are made as threatened, the list produced by Loto-Québec will likely include not just online casinos, but also all the major poker, sports betting and daily fantasy sports sites as well.
It's an extremely ill-advised move by the province on several levels. For one thing, it's pretty unlikely that it will achieve its intended effect of boosting traffic to EspaceJeux, as the offerings there are not equivalent to those of the sites that will be blocked. Someone playing on PokerStars, say, is not going to start playing $2 buy-in, $200 guaranteed tournaments on EspaceJeux when they can no longer access PokerStars; they're simply going to stop playing online poker. It may even produce the opposite effect of that which is intended if it turns out that many of its current users also play on other sites and end up quitting in protest if and when the ban comes into effect.
More importantly, though, it's a move that will make a huge number of people angry for a whole variety of reasons, and there's simply no way that any increase in gambling revenues would cover the resulting legal fees and other economic losses. Let's run down the list of all the groups that Quebec is going to find itself in trouble with.
Quebec vs. Online Pros
Quebec in general and Montreal specifically are home to a huge number of poker professionals, both online and live. Quebec is one of the most inexpensive places in Canada to live, with average rents being particularly low here, which makes it great for young, aspiring pros relying on an unsteady income from poker. Meanwhile, just off the island is the Kahnawake first nations reservation, home to numerous card rooms including the massive Playground Poker Club, a frequent stop on the World Poker Tour. Naturally, being unable to play online except on a tiny, ring-fenced site is not going to make any of these people very happy.
Now, there's very little this group can do about it aside from throw its weight behind the inevitable legal challenges which will arise. On the other hand, they can simply leave, and that's likely what many of them will do. Quebec's economy has been in dire straits for quite some time now, and even if these players are not paying taxes, nor playing on EspaceJeux as Quebec would like them to, they're winning money off of people elsewhere in the world, and spending it in Quebec. Losing them is one fairly invisible, yet significant cost of this course of action.
Quebec vs. Canada
The history of relations between the province of Quebec and the country of Canada is long and fraught with endless battles and bad blood, particularly on the subjects of language and Quebec sovereignty. Although the will to separate entirely has been waning in recent years, the province nonetheless continues to attempt to hold as much power and self-direction as it can, and far more than any other province enjoys. Thus, while telecommunications fall under federal jurisdiction, attempting to circumvent that fact by making illegal gaming a "consumer protection" issue is typical of Quebec politics.
Many people commenting on this issue assume that internet censorship of this form is going to face – and fail – a constitutional challenge, but Quebec also has a history of simply ignoring the Constitution when it can. Yes, you can do that in Canada. Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – a part of the Constitution – is known as the "notwithstanding clause," and it grants the provinces and territories the ability to have their laws explicitly supersede certain rights for a limited time. One of the rights which is open to being overruled in this way is freedom of speech, which seems like one of the more likely avenues to challenging this kind of internet censorship.
Quebec has shown itself to be very willing to invoke the notwithstanding clause in the past, for instance, to prevent its language laws from being ruled unconstitutional. Although it is the Parti Libéral de Québec in power – far less antagonistic to the federal government than the separatist Parti Québecois – it might very well employ the notwithstanding clause in the case of a constitutional challenge to internet censorship if it is really adamant about getting its way. Thus, even if the case went to the Supreme Court, chances are Quebec would still be able to enforce the ban for up to five years, after which the legislature would simply have to vote on whether to re-enact the law for another five. Obviously, this would not go over well with the federal government or the other provinces, but that's a sort of conflict Quebec tends to relish, often to its own detriment.
Quebec vs. ISPs
Quebec's internet service providers are going to be in a bit of a pickle if the province orders them to censor gambling websites. If they refuse to comply, the province will no doubt attempt to impose penalties. On the other hand, if they go along with the provincial laws, they may find themselves on the wrong side of the federal Telecommunications Act, as pointed out by Haley Hintze over at FlushDraw. It's hard to know in advance what these companies will do to extract themselves from such a catch-22, but one way or another, their shareholders are likely to be negatively impacted, and probably their customers as well, which is again not good for the province's economy.
Quebec vs. Kahnawake
Then there's Kahnawake. As mentioned above, the first nations reservation lies just off the island of Montreal and uses its sovereignty to engage in a lot of gambling-related activities, just as tribes do elsewhere in Canada and the US. As well as the physical card rooms, though, Kahnawake is home to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, making it a major player in grey-market online gaming.
Ironically, just as Quebec loves to fly in the face of the federal government, so too are its first nations tribes disinclined to go along with what the province wants, unless there's something in it for them. Everyone who grew up here in the 80s and 90s remembers the Oka Crisis, in which a land dispute between the town of Oka (under provincial jurisdiction) and the Mohawk community of Kanesatake. Following the courts' rejection of the tribe's land claim in 1986, tensions rose steadily until July 1990, at which point provincial police attempted to intervene in a Mohawk protest, leading to a gun battle in which one police officer was killed. A standoff then ensued, which lasted until late September and involved many roads in the area being barricaded, some by the Mohawks, others by the provincial police.
Much of the market for the Mohawk-operated websites is outside of Quebec, so it's unlikely that simply preventing Quebec users from playing on them will provoke their wrath. However, it may make them nervous that the province would try to block all traffic to and from those sites within the province's borders, and attempting to shut down their business in that way would almost certainly provoke a response, at the very least in the form of long-term protests.
Quebec vs. me
As for myself, I no longer play poker or gamble online except recreationally, so it wouldn't pain me too much as a player to lose access to PokerStars and Bet365, the two main sites I frequent. What's problematic for me, however, is that the province is not just seeking to prevent its citizens from registering on or depositing to the sites in question, but to block the sites entirely at the domain level. That means I won't, for instance, be able to visit various sites' blogs, or observe the final tables of major online events, etc. My ability to do research for my articles will be severely limited by such a ban. It may therefore impact my ability to make a living as well, and quite unjustly, as there's definitely nothing illegal about writing about gambling, unless of course Quebec invokes the notwithstanding clause to outlaw that as well.
Of course, like the poker pros, there's little I can do about it directly, and if I do leave the province, it probably won't be for this reason. However, if Quebec does end up going forward with this plan next year, you can expect further articles from me on the subject. And I promise you that they will be worded sternly. Very sternly. You've been warned, Quebec.

iBooks and ePublications have grown massively popular in the past number of years. With businesses such as Amazon Kindle and Apple Store giving readers immediate access to new releases, older no longer in print publications its easy to see why. Those interested in reading in digital formats will in most instances have a tablet, smart phone or device which they use daily. By creating a format to have their chosen reading material to hand, digital reading has become the norm. No one wants to lug about huge hardback versions of the book or novel that they are currently reading on the train to work, Why would they?, when they have a small, light, hand held device which serves so many purposes other than as a book.
The growth of the digital platform for reading materials has open even more areas for businesses to gain information on their customers. Businesses can now track their customers areas of literary interest and suggest similar materials for them to purchase. While this may form part of an echo chamber where readers will only stay within their interests, it may also expose those less likely to browse other areas to other reading materials. This 'suggestion' model gives the business huge insight into their reader, and if they also sell other items online other than digital reading materials, then it is likely that they will build a user profile based on the materials searched and begin to target the user with ads based on the system algorithms.
It may not all be so dark and murky though, these online platform have developed into a virtual coffee shop where virtual book clubs can engage, comment share and review digital books.
It also gives the authors a place to interact with their readers and take the feedback being collected in the forums and comments being left. Digital readers have easy, immediate access to their peers and authors, which may not have been previously available.
Digital reading has its faults, but also has its be wins. I am a huge fan of printed books, I love the tactile nature of older books, their smell, the aged tears and folds of the paper, and the ability to feel the imprint that the ink has made on the paper when I run my hand over it. I am also a big fan of the planet, so I appreciate that the digital conversion of printed materials can only lead to less paper being needed and less trees being cut down. So while i like older book nostalgia, I am more enamoured with the idea that we are slowly moving towards a greener planet.
Digital reading hasn't been embraced fully by all cultures. This article 'The beautiful Icelandic tradition of giving books on Christmas eve' by Steven Bissonette talks about the romanticism of gift giving and the idea that a book, a physical book is something to be treasured. The Icelandic people (where 1 in 10 people are published authors) maintain the tradition of book giving to be read on Christmas eve,
My Digital Books- ePub & iBook
I had previously worked for Apple and as part of a project, I developed an Apple Camp Program where younger children (aged 6 to 12) would come to the Apple Campus and create iBooks based on their own stories and drawings. The idea was simple, the children wrote their story, then created drawings to depict scenes. They used a simple drawing application and then once this was complete, they used iBooks Author to create their interactive books. The application allowed then to add sound effect, moving imagery and allowed the user to engage with the piece. What most interested me with this project was the ease with which the young children grasped the concept and ran with it. They had no fear of making mistakes, they knew their stories and therefore could apply the material to the book without concern or approval.
Now as a secondary school Art teacher, I have my older student create iBooks and ePubs ( as well as powerpoint presentations) as part of their art history curriculum. These tasks not only give the student a place to store their learning but it also gives them technical skills and exposure to new digital applications. The learning begins with them having to research the materials that they will use, then figuring out how the applications work, adding the materials and fine tuning it to their own styles, then presenting the material to their classmates. It gives them an understanding of the material which they can show through peer teaching.
My own iBook and ePub I have kept simple. I have used the main idea for my research topic and added a title, heading and some images. I do hope to create a full version by the end of the MA as I feel it will be an important part of my digital portfolio.
I found the iBook Author very easy to use, it has a simple drag and drop functionality with doesn't require any coding to edit or stylise it. The ePub was a little more difficult. For this task we used Calibre It uses HTML and allows you to finalise detail using code. ePubs allow those without a Mac to access ePublications. With iBooks only those of you with Apple devices will be able to read them in the format in which they are created.
I am unable to add my iBook here due to formatting issues so I have included some screen shots.
My ePub
When I saved the ePub originally using Calibre it did have formatted cover text, however, as my computer is now using iBooks to open the document, it appears that the cover text has been removed.

LaRue County's Mat Hawks were undefeated in Saturday's Region 2 duals at John Hardin High School.
The LaRue County Lady Hawks weren't looking for a statement win, but that's exactly what they came away with Saturday afternoon.
Daniel Snodgrass brings the ball downcourt for the fifth-grade traveling team.
The LaRue County Hawks won their own tournament – the National Guard Holiday Classic – for the fourth straight year and sixth time in the event's seven-year history.
LaRue County High School gym's basketball court not only is freshly re-finished, it is also newly named – Corky Cox Court – after a former longtime coach who mentored LaRue County's boys' basketball teams to three state tournament appearances.
ECTC Barons game and open house – free admission
The LaRue County Hawks didn't take long Jan. 2 to christen their newly refurbished hardwood during the opening round of the National Guard Holiday Classic.
Playing on Corky Cox Court for the first time, freshman guard Cameron Dawson scored off the opening tip just 4 seconds into the game and the Hawks never trailed in a 47-36 win over North Bullitt.
The court was sanded, sealed and painted during the winter break.
The LaRue County Middle School girls (7th-8th grade) basketball team finished runner-up in the Midwest Youth Tournament Holiday Classic Dec. 14-15 in Louisville. From left, Ameena Wells, Emma Bell, Kristin Boone, Mallory Williams, Jessi O'Bryan, Sara Warren, Bailey Rogers, Ameera Wells, Peyton Murray and Sophie Akin. Not pictured: Clair Keller.
The LaRue County Lady Hawks proved Sunday it's not a matter of how many 3-pointers a team makes but when it makes them that counts.

I know I shared several weeks ago regarding my dad's health and I am happy to report that, after many tests, he does not have cancer. Because he is on dialysis, his health over all is compromised, which made the testing tricky. But the doctor feels 95% sure that the mass in his lung is not malignant.
Just felt like I left you guys hanging with all that intense reflection. It was a big relief to get the news that he is going to be OK.
During all of this I was talking about my dad, a lot. In front of my kids. People would ask how my dad was doing, etc. This did not get past my nine year old and he finally asked what was going on with Papa...
Thankfully, when this conversation went down we were pretty sure that dad wasn't seriously sick. But I explained dialysis and I explained the tests because there was a spot on Papa's lung. I spent more time explaining how Papa's kidneys don't work any more and how dialysis cleanses his system out. When my dad was in the hospital I was honest with both my boys that I was going to see Papa and that Papa was sick. My oldest said, "I don't want Papa to die". I replied, "Honey, I don't either. Papa is sick, and he is in the hospital but he is not about to die".
Carter repeated that statement when I was explaining dad's chronic illness a couple of weeks ago. It just tugs at my heart in such a way that it is so difficult to explain. I want to spare my 9 year old pain, but I want him to know the truth. I want him to know that he can get the truth from me. That I'm not going to overly protect him from life.
I am so not the perfect parent and I could list over and over again the times that I failed my children; but speaking to them honestly about life will always happen. And I hope and pray ( and communicate this often) that they can know I will always tell them the truth. It will be age appropriate, but it will be the truth. And sometimes it's really hard, but that's when I know I am doing something right.
What about you?? If you have kids have you had any tough conversations lately? What about uncomfortable (sex) talks?? That seems to trip a lot of parents up... "Uhhhhhhhhhh".
I feel just as strongly about proper sex education as I do about telling the truth in other life issues. I've written before about talking to kids about sex so I won't repeat myself but, the take away is this.
Even with the most difficult, uncomfortable conversations, your kids deserve the truth. You can even give yourself time and say, "I know this conversation is important to you, and I want to give it the full attention it deserves, can we talk about it later?" And even saying, "Can we talk about this another time" is OK too. Even if you stumble and change the subject, you can always, always go back and say, "You remember that question you asked...I'd like to answer it now."
So go forth and TALK. Honestly and openly with your kids.
Our kids can handle the truth.
You can do it!

Deadpool Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 2XLP
Distributed titles: Curated releases, and Exclusive color-ways from other great soundtrack releases from around the world.
Deadpool is getting the vinyl treatment! Directed by newcomer Tim Miller and starring Ryan Reynolds as the titular protagonist, Deadpool follows irreverent mercenary Wade Wilson into Vancouver's seedy underbelly. After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Wade is subjected to sadistic experiments in an attempt to cure himself. The treatment hideously deforms him and leaves his mind unhinged. Enraged by betrayal, Wade adopts the moniker of Deadpool and begins hunting down the men responsible for his transformation.
Junkie XL (Mad Mad: Fury Road) delivers a robust, pulsing score that is as energetic and relentless as Deadpool himself. It ties in seamlessly with the eclectic mix of songs featured prominently in the film, including tracks by DMX, Wham!, and Salt-N-Pepa. Now available as a double LP pressed on a pair of red and black splattered 180 gram vinyl discs and packaged in a handsome gatefold jacket with matching Euro Sleeves, Deadpool is one release not to miss.
2 x 180g LPs (red & black vinyl)

"Free Education? I don't think so"
Next month Ann O'Connor of Springlawn, Longford, will send her youngest child to secondary school and in doing so will incur an expense of just under €900.
"This is a stressful time for both parents and children alike. As a lone parent, I receive €223 weekly. I got the Back to School Allowance yesterday and that was €305, which is great but won't help me fully," said Ann.
Working through Ann's figures and taking into account that she has shopped around for cheaper alternatives where possible, Ann faces a bill of close to €900 over the next two weeks. This leaves her with a shortfall of approximately €600 and she's not alone.
According to Barnardos Annual Cost Survey, their organisation estimates the average cost of sending a child to secondary school would be in the region of €805. This does not, however, take into account copies, pens, bags, transport costs or gym equipment.
"Six books alone cost €170 and you can't get them second hand. That's not even half the books that are needed. The list has 13 to 14 books on it and these have to be purchased by September," said Ann. "Then there's copies, uniforms and a €50 fee for a locker and photocopying as well as a €50 fee for rental of a further four or five books."
For Ann the biggest cost is books and she feels that it would help if schools could establish a book rental scheme.
"From what I've learned schools do want to rent books. I don't think they are out there wanting to put extra expense on parents but there isn't the funding there (for rental schemes). I always had the rental scheme at national school for books so this is a huge change as I never had to buy text books before; workbooks yes, but not text books," she said.
Shopping around for the uniform, Ann and her family chose department stores to purchase items such as trousers. However, on other items they simply had no choice but to go for the higher priced clothing.
"Some items like shoes I got for €60. There is a shop recommended by the school but that sells shoes for €110. Jumpers with crests cost between €35 and €40 and of course, you need two of those," said Ann.
In addition to the uniform Ann's child must also be kitted out with school crested gym kits. These have been pre-ordered and will be paid for in September.
"Also, the jackets have to be purchased for €65. I've already paid a deposit of €25 when they took the measurements. Then you have to look at things like runners," said Ann.
Looking forward to September, Ann must face the harsh reality that there will be straitened weeks ahead of her.
"I go to the Credit Union and I can see that in September I'll be putting off paying other bills just to make sure that my child can go to school with everything that she needs," she said. "Free Education, I don't think so."

During 2017, the Arts Council and its partners will be undertaking a light-touch review of certain aspects of the Museum Accreditation scheme. For more information click here.
All museums in the East of England who will be affected by the review and offered a 12 month extension, have now been contacted. These museums are listed in the document below:2017 Accreditation Review – List of Museums
Museums Accreditation is the UK standard for museums and galleries endorsed by Arts Council England, Museums Galleries Scotland, Museums Archives and Libraries Wales (a division of the Welsh Government) and Northern Ireland Museums Council.
It defines good practice and identifies agreed standards, thereby encouraging development. It is a baseline quality standard that helps guide museums to be the best they can be, for current and future users.
Accreditation is widely credited with playing an important role in raising standards in museums since its introduction. As an agreed standard with a badged award, Accreditation is understood within the sector, but also by relevant funding bodies and governing bodies as the mark of a responsible museum. Accreditation has an emphasis on effective forward planning to build relevance and resilience.
The Accreditation Scheme is managed directly by Arts Council England and detailed requirements on the scheme, including how to apply and accompanying guidance can found via the Arts Council website from the following links:
From April 2015 to 31 March 2018 Accreditation technical advice service for museums in the East of England will be provided through the SHARE Museums East museum development programme.
If you have read the Accreditation guidance documents and require further advice and support in applying to or renewing Accreditation you can contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Further support is available at a county level from our network of Museum Development Officers/Managers. Visit the County Links page for contact details and more information.
Many of the development opportunities offered through SHARE Museums East will support museums achieve or maintain Accreditation, either directly or indirectly, as will many of the resources available on the website.
The below courses and events are linked directly to the Accreditation Standard. Click on an event to find out more.

Chartered by a well known Australian off shore sailor she 3,3,4 in the first three races and came a creditable sixth overall.
The latest addition to our charter fleet is a Dufour 45e cruiser racer. It seems she is more racer than cruiser, featuring a tall three spreader rig and racing keel.

The boat is fully equipped for racing and cruising and is fully coded to carry 12 people inshore and eight offshore.

Five paying crewmembers are already signed up for the race.
After Christmas the boat will take part in a series of regattas in the Caribbean, starting in Barbados in January finishing in Antigua in May.
A full list of the events availability and can be found on our New website coming very soon!!
The Dufour 45e Performance has a modern look, thanks to her sleek hull lines. She has got the typical characteristics of the Dufour Performance Signature, is designed for fast cruising and also offers the advantages of a comfortable and spacious sailing yacht. The large cockpit allows for a full racing crew, or a comfortable end of day relaxing area. The under deck furling system accentuates the uncluttered deck layout.
The hull on the Dufour 45e Performance optimises its full length; the plumb bow maximises waterline length.
Below decks the accommodation is stylish yet functional; the saloon settees allows for use as spacious seating as well as long berths. With options for both three and four cabins, the Dufour 45e Performance will match your needs for both fast ocean cruising and comfortable pleasure.

Spot Hope Network (Santiago de Chile)
"Translation is often regarded as a project for transferring meaning from one language to another. Translation is an art and science and it is a form of communication between languages". It is the replacement of a representation of a text in one language by a representation of an equivalent text in a second language levels, the most important equivalences are that of meaning. Translation is very important for cultures and that what helps us to transfer our cultures to everywhere.
Although literature and art are critically important in any culture and education, and although the literature has always been a subject area with a strong international dimension, contacts between modern literary and artistic works of these cultures have been limited in number and highly informal. A clear need has been identified to advance and improve joint cooperation projects between many Cultures and Arts.
In our project, we are going to translate "CULTURES" not words, to make a change in minds, and to give a good idea about the rights that people have to get in knowing the culture of the other. For this reason, this project will be a special one for culture and society. We will try to draw, paint, play and write every single moment of expats lives, so it will be the best cultural guide for any reader likes to know more about literature and culture around the world.
Who are we?
SPOT HOPE is the name of our [GROUP, CULTURAL CENTER & SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE] we are entrepreneurs from Palestine, USA & Chile, have the same ideas and aims which we want to achieve. We are working as a team to achieve the same goal, we want to make the life more comfortable, and to achieve a high level of communication between CULTURES.
The final product
We are establishing a [GROUP, CULTURAL CENTER & SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE] which works to reunite many cultures around the world in one place, to be the biggest social network of expatriates and people to share their experiences or to make use of those experiences. We are trying to make people share experience, skills, media and information.
We are looking to solve these problems:
Most of the social networks are dealing with people living in their countries.
No social network is specialized to be for expatriates, and to make them share their experiences and daily life.
People in any country interest in knowing more about the people of their countries who live in other countries how they live and succeed.
In Chile there is a big problem with the English language, so we are trying to offer the best Chance for the Chileans to learn English with the minimum cost.
Our Solution:
Our social network will be the best place to share experiences, skills, life circumstances, and the media about the life of expatriates and their success in outside their countries.
Our site has a complete encyclopedia of information about expatriates, and will be a global reference and encyclopedia for expatriates around the world.
Create a means of communication between expatriates and their countries and people whom they know in their own countries.
Our Cultural Center is the best place to share your experience by volunteering and getting the chance to have a good new experiences.
For The Chilean students our institute will provide the best solution for the ENGLISH language problem in the Chilean society.

Horiguchi didn't stay a free agent for long.
In a Monday press release, Japanese promotion
Rizin Fighting Federation announced the signing of the
26-year-old Horiguchi, who has spent the last three years and
change in the Ultimate Fighing Championship's flyweight division.
Horiguchi will make his debut for Rizin FF at "Rizin 2017 in
Yokohoma" on April 16 at the Yokohama Arena.
"I've left the UFC and I'm coming back to Japan. When I was a high
school student, it was Pride that made me aim to become a fighter,
so to get this opportunity from Mr. [Rizin CEO Nobuyuki] Sakakibara
is somewhat strange," Horiguchi said in a statement, which featured
a picture of him posed arm-in-arm with Sakakibara.
"I will show the skill and heart cultivated in the UFC's tough
environment to the fans of Japan."
In the release, Sakakibara re-affirmed that Rizin FF was looking to
sign an international contingent of top flyweights and establish
the division as a prominent piece of the upstart promotion.
A former Shooto world champion at 132 pounds, Horiguchi made his
UFC debut at UFC 166 in October 2013, knocking out Dustin
Pague in the second round. Horiguchi, a product of "Kid"
Yamamoto's team Krazy Bee who now trains with American Top
Team, went 7-1 in his UFC tenure. His lone loss came in his April
2015 title challenge against pound-for-pound king and UFC champ
Johnson, where he was submitted with one second left in the
fifth round.
On Wednesday, Horiguchi will attend a Rizin FF press conference in
Tokyo where it is expected that his opponent, as well as other
bouts for the April 16 card in Yokohama, will be revealed.

St. Augustine, FL ' Rep. Ron DeSantis (FL-06), a Naval Reserve Officer, has issued the following statement in response to media reports that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has denied 35,093 combat veterans benefits due to an ongoing computer error:
"Over 35,000 combat veterans have been stuck in limbo due to a computer glitch that could have easily been remedied when it was discovered in April, yet there is no accountability within the VA. The VA has failed our veterans once again. The Senate needs to approve the House's recently-passed VA accountability bill so that VA officials who have been derelict in their duties to our veterans can be swiftly removed from their posts. Our veterans deserve better than a chronically inept bureaucracy."

He's parked in a completely legal spot. 2 mins later piggy rolls up behind him, starts flashing his lights. Hes been sitting there for a good 5-10 mins, so it couldn't be a traffic stop. Anyway, the piggy told him to get out and starts searching the guy, then the car, finds nothing and leaves. Victim of Driving while Black and of course the new benz.

Browse these pressure washing services with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Rowlett.
Demario was very professional and timely. He did a wonderful job power washing my front porch! I would definitely recommend him to anyone and would use him again!
Great job by Eugene. Very professional. After powerimg washing the bricks look tremendous. I would recommend Eugene.
Gutters are great after cleaning. Also pressure washed my brick that was molding.
JWR did pressure cleaning of a patio and driveway. He let me know he was running late due to an appointment before mine that was taking longer than anticipated.
Joel did a fantastic job for us. He power washed, sanded and stained a patio structure for us. He was very responsive to all emails/text and answered every question that we had prior to, during and upon completion of the project. He left the project site exactly how it was found and the quality of the work was superior. Very talented worker, thank you so much!!!
This is a Veteran-owned company that does pressure washing, gutter cleaning, and more. Ryan Mayfield is the owner and he just pressure washed my flagstone patio and front porch & walk. I found him through Thumbtack and chose his quote (which was lower-middle in the price range) because he was a veteran and seemed so polite and responsive in his email replies. He was the same way in person and actually did more area than the quote covered (for the same price) and did a great job. Highly recommend him!
Matt is an honest hard working guy who was right on time and did a great job!! He is in my phone contacts for the next wash!!
Work was started on time (said he would be here and when- very prompt) Fixed issue, no high pressure upsell, done in 20-25mins!
Shawn and his team were professional, hardworking and proactive! They helped clean out my 3rd garage, power wash my patio and patio furniture, and haul away stuff I didn't want! So helpful!
Prompt response, reasonably priced, excellent work. We had the gutters cleaned, house pressure washed and Windows cleaned.
Pressure washed my entire home, driveway, detached garage. Did a great job, was very attentive to detail and received feedback well, used hand washing where pressure washing wasn't an option (peeling paint areas, etc). Very thorough, my house looks like the white trim was repainted!
Alex came to do a pressure wash for a big grease area in our parking lot at my job. They were able to accommodate me a short notice and did a groovy job and for a fair price! I would recommend them favorably! Also a nice guy, which means a lot to me. Cannot tell it was ever there... Sonja
Anna's General Cleaning did a fantastic job of cleaning out our garage. They came with a moving type truck and hauled away things we no longer need. They moved other things up to our attic. They also moved a stack of extra bricks. The swept and then power washed the floor. They dusted the contents of shelves and even moved a shelving unit. Rafael Lemus-Anna's Cleaning and two very strong and sweet young ladies did the whole job in two hours. We could not be happier. Susan B.
So happy I selected your company for my power washing job. My back yard patio looks great. What a team!! I would recommend you to anyone who needs a power wash job. Thanks again!!!
My home has NEVER looked and felt this good! Shalanda and Sharita are the hardest working folks I've ever seen in any contract service ever. They worked 8 hours straight. My house is a difficult one to clean as it has a lot of homemade built ins. I don't know how she got my kitchen cabinets so clean & shiny since they have mullions and seeded glass. I swear she put them in the washing machine and hung them back up! RECOMMENDED!!!!!
Oscar and his wife, Marcela are very professional and their work is acceptional!!! They were very careful with my furniture and concerned that both my husband, myself and my family who came to visit while they were here, were safe and didn't fall on the tile because of our wet feet while they were cleaning. They breathed new life into my old carpeting making it look clean, fresh and nearly new again. I'm very pleased with their services and I will use them again and again. I also learned yesterday that they are available for home cleaning services including washing window. That will be my next job with them after the first of the year. Thank you both again, Oscar and Marcela and my you and yours have a very happy and blessed Christmas and joyus and prosperous New Year. Joanne Whitaker The Colony, Tx.
Terry did an outstanding job! I called to schedule an appointment and he was able to fit me in the same day. It's a pretty good hike from Lewisville to North Oak Cliff, so I wanted to make sure he was okay with trip and he was happy to accommodate. Terry was professional, prompt, on time, very reasonably priced, and probably has one of the coolest rigs I've ever seen. I highly recommend The Power Washer of Lewisville and plan to use again for all my power washing needs!
Erick G. sent his proposal with competitive pricing within the hour of posting my window washing needs. He was available on the following Saturday and showed up on time. Professional appearance and demeanor. The job included window cleaning in/out, screen brushing, track wiping. It took (one person) 2.5 hours on a two-story house with 35 windows and a few sun screens. I was satisfied and will hire Windows Heaven again.
Now I don't have to wash my outside windows (an unexpected byproduct of my soft wash done this week)!!! I really expected a lot of noise but there was a much softer sound during the whole thing. Very happy with the end product and overall experience 😍!
Ben did a great job pressure washing and staining my fence. His work is top notch and priced very reasonably. I would recommend him anytime you have a project that requires a fair, honest professional.
Showed up on time and went right to work. My house now looks tremendously different (in a good way). I would highly recommend this company. If I ever need power washing again they will be the first ones I call.

Elective courses
Depending on their intended field of specialization and background, students will also take courses from a wide variety of electives. The electives are to be determined by the student in consultation with his/her advisors. Elective courses are intentionally meant to allow for flexibility, and we encourage students to formulate a unique curriculum that is tailored to best serve their interests.
Highlighted Requirements
Problem-based Learning Seminar
(HOMP 8301, 3 credit hours, Year 1 or 2)
Problem-Based Learning Seminars (PBL) allow students to develop the personal and research skills, attitudes, and the confidence required for the type of collaborative problem-solving that is intrinsic to all successful and innovative research. This approach is a learner-based method of mastering basic knowledge and skills within the context of real-world research problems. Training in this way helps students to employ critical thinking to develop a question-driven, rather than a discipline-driven, approach to research.
All students participate in one semester of PBL (3 credits), taken in Years 1 or 2.
Ethics and Professional Skills Training
(HOMP 8204, 3 credit hours, Year 1)
In Year 1, students will take a seminar that will focus on the ethical dilemmas faced by all scientists, as well as on those specific to human evolutionary studies. This module will also cover critical reading and reviewing skills, time and project management, building and managing a team, manuscript and grant writing, oral and visual presentation skills, interview protocols, laboratory safety and preparation of research plans and curriculum vitae. This seminar has the goal of equipping graduate students with the skills and attitudes needed to operate in a collegial system that allows for sharing data and ideas while protecting the rights of individual scientists and organizations.
At the outset of their training, students are expected to attend at least one professional meeting per year, present their research at professional meetings, and publish articles in peer-reviewed journals. The faculty works closely with students on their first presentations and publications.
Laboratory Rotations
(HOMP 8303, 6 credit hours, Years 2 and 3)
During their second and third years, students participate in laboratory rotations of semester-long involvement in fields that complement their research interests. Students register for 3 credit hours for each rotation, each of which requires a total of 96 working hours, or equivalent. The student's work schedule is negotiated directly with the rotation supervisor.
Laboratory rotations are to be determined by the student in consultation with his/her advisors, and will be available at laboratories both within and outside of GW. Students are encouraged to pursue laboratory rotations at GW or any institution which best serve their interests.
Public Understanding of Science Internship
(HOMP 8302, 3 credit hours, completed before the end of Year 5)
The responsibilities of scientists who study our species' evolutionary history must also extend to the public at large. Therefore, an important component of the Human Paleobiology graduate training program is an internship in the "Public Understanding of Science." Before the end of Year 5, students undertake a part-time, semester-long or summer internship with an organization that presents science to the public. To date, students have successfully completed internships working directly on articles and website material at the National Geographic and USA Today, working with producers at NPR and contributing their own pieces, contributing to public initiatives on the understanding of race and human variation with the American Association of Anthropologists and AAAS programs on science, ethics and religion, and helping to design the content of a major Human Origins Hall at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Other standing opportunities include attachments to the exhibits or education departments, or the public outreach, public relations, or congressional affairs offices of the Smithsonian Institution (e.g. The National Zoological Park, The National Museum of Natural History), or to other appropriate organizations based in Washington, DC (e.g., The National Geographic Society, National Public Radio, The Washington Post, Science Magazine, The National Academy of Sciences).
Capstone Seminar
(Years 3 – 5)
Beginning in the fifth semester, students make presentations in a weekly journal club that helps stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty and students.
Students generally begin research for the dissertation (including preparation of a dissertation proposal) after completing their qualifying exams at the end of Year 2. The final step before being advanced to candidacy is a Dissertation Proposal Defense, comprising a written proposal in the form of a National Science Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant, an oral presentation, and a defense of the student's proposed dissertation topic. The Dissertation Proposal Defense is normally completed by the end of Year 3.
For Human Paleobiology students, the dissertation committee includes a Director or Co-Director who is a core CASHP faculty member from GW, and additional advisors that are drawn from CASHP or elsewhere, with at least one reader from outside GW.
Additional Requirements and Program Information
Other components of the Human Paleobiology PhD program include regional training workshops for interested students, and teaching experience for professional skills development, and training in international settings. Students are also strongly encouraged to undertake at least one component of their graduate training outside of the United States.

The pool area at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel
Though my family lives just over an hour from downtown Grand Rapids and can easily make day trips, we like to stay overnight whenever we can. Grand Rapids offers a great variety of family-friendly hotels close to attractions and transportation, and the kids get even more excited about a trip when they know it'll involve pool time and a hotel bed.
Here are some of my go-to hotels when I'm visiting Grand Rapids with the kids:
With an ultra-convenient downtown location, a gorgeous pool area, several on-site restaurants and free wifi, the Amway Grand Plaza is my favorite upscale - yet totally family-friendly - hotel. Take the enclosed SkyWalk to see a show at DeVos Place or take in a meal at Six.One.Six at the JW Marriott hotel (the kid's menu there is one of the best I've seen.)
This budget-friendly downtown option is adjacent to the Grand Rapids Public Museum, and just a short walk over the river to the Grand Rapids Art Museum, Rosa Parks Circle, DeVos Place, and other downtown attractions. Parking is easy and complimentary, and kids eat free at the on-site Pearl Street Grill.
Between the Castaway Bay pool area featuring a water slide and tiki whirlpool, and an arcade game room, this suburban hotel is close to the Woodland Mall and convenient to the highway, airport, and Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park.
Offering super-reasonable rates on kitchenette suites sleeping up to 6 children, this conveniently-located hotel also features free breakfast, an indoor pool, laundry facilities and free wifi.
What's your favorite kid-friendly Grand Rapids hotel?

Transformations of galaxies in the environments of the cluster ABCG 209 at z 0.2 *,**
INAF – Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte, via Moiariello 16, 80131 Napoli, Italy e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
2 Dipartimento di Astronomia, Università degli Studi di Trieste, via Tiepolo 11, 34100 Trieste, Italy
Accepted: 16 May 2004
We analyse the properties of galaxy populations in the rich Abell cluster ABCG 209 at redshift 0.21, on the basis of spectral classification of 102 member galaxies. We take advantage of available structural parameters to study separately the properties of bulge-dominated and disk-dominated galaxies. The star formation histories of the cluster galaxy populations are investigated by using line strengths and the 4000 Å break, through a comparison to stellar population synthesis models. The dynamical properties of different spectral classes are examined in order to infer the past merging history of ABCG 209. The cluster is characterized by the presence of two components: an old galaxy population, formed very early ( 3.5), and a younger ( 1.2) population of infalling galaxies. We find evidence of a merger with an infalling group of galaxies occurred 3.5–4.5 Gyr ago. The correlation between the position of the young H-strong galaxies and the X-ray flux shows that the hot intracluster medium triggered a starburst in this galaxy population ~3 Gyr ago.

The get-it-over-with-quickly approach to statistics has been encouraged - and often necessitated - by the short time allotted to it in most curriculums. If included at all, statistics is presented briefly, as a task to be endured mainly because pertinent questions may appear in subsequent examinations for licensure or other certifications. However, in later professional activities, clinicians and biomedical researchers will constantly be confronted with reports containing statistical expressions and analyses. Not just a set of cookbook recipes, Principles of Medical Statistics is designed to get you thinking about data and statistical procedures. It covers many new statistical methods and approaches like box plots, stem and leaf plots, concepts of stability, the bootstrap, and the jackknife methods of resampling. The book is arranged in a logical sequence that advances from simple to more elaborate results. The text describes all the conventional statistical procedures, and offers reasonably rigorous accounts of many of their mathematical justifications. Although the conventional mathematical principles are given a respectful account, the book provides a distinctly clinical orientation with examples and teaching exercises drawn from real world medical phenomena. Statistical procedures are an integral part of the basic background needed by biomedical researchers, students, and clinicians. Containing much more than most elementary texts, Principles of Medical Statistics fills the gap often found in the current curriculum. It repairs the imbalance that gives so little attention to the role of statistics as a prime component of basic biomedical education.The procedures described in Chapter 12 are simple, direct, relatively easy to understand, and empirical. ... The tests can be used for stochastic contrasts of any two binary proportions, two means, or even, if desired, two medians. (In the last instance, the permuted samples would show the distribution of differences in medians, rather than means.) ... With permutation techniques, the single group of re-arranged increments forms a unique structure that must be calculated ad hoc for eachanbsp;...

Cook a bowl of hearty, piping hot macaroni soup with the ingredients you already have in the pantry and fridge.
Save a dollar or two by keeping that rotisserie chicken you had for dinner yesterday! This is the ultimate leftover soup you can make when you don't feel like cooking - it is that simple.
Start by boiling 2 pots of water. One big pot for the chicken stock and the other small pot for the eggs. Cut the ginger, onions and carrot while waiting for the water to boil.
Pour the water and chicken stock into a pot. When the liquid is boiling, add the ginger, onion, carrot and chicken bones, into the big pot.
Boil the chicken stock under low heat for at least 10 minutes until you are ready to use the stock.
Not shown in video: At the same time, place the eggs in the small pot to boil.
Not shown in video: Boil the eggs for 10 minutes and remove the eggs to cool down before removing the shells.
Not shown in video: While waiting for the eggs to cook, prepare your spring onions, wansoy and red chilli. It's faster to use scissors to cut them in a glass.
In your medium to large bowls, place the macaroni, lettuce and shredded chicken. Do not over-fill your bowl because you need to add the soup.
Not shown in video: Remove all the bones from the soup and add the soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste.
Not shown in video: Remove the shells from the eggs, slice them and add to the bowl with the macaroni.
Finally, add the boiling soup into the bowl with all the ingredients.
Top with a bit of spring onions, wansoy and red chilli, fried shallots and tong chye. Serve with light soy sauce and red cut chilli.

STANFORD (KPIX 5) — The rate of food allergies is skyrocketing, with 5 million children now having more than one. An experiment by a doctor at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital helped a Bay Area girl who suffered from a dozen food allergies.
Tessa Grosso is 10-years-old. Since she was small, Tessa's mom Kim Yates Grosso has fought to keep her daughter safe from those allergies.
"You literally walk through life like you're navigating a mine field," said Mrs. Grosso.
For years, Tessa has suffered severe allergies to food such as wheat, eggs, nuts and shellfish. Spilled milk meant danger.
"She had milk spilled on her hands, and she almost died," said Mrs. Grosso.
"It was really hard because I couldn't go to birthday parties or have playdates," explained Tessa.
Then the Menlo Park family found hope in Dr. Kari Nadeau at Stanford's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. The allergy researcher started clinical trials on 80 patients in 2011.
Nadeau is believed to be the first doctor to help people tolerate up to five food allergies all at once.
Patients first eat tiny amounts of each allergen in flour or powder form. Nadeau gradually increases the dosage until the patients can tolerate a full serving over a number of years.
Because Tessa also took Xolair, a drug that suppresses allergic reactions, she completed the trial in only four months.
Doctors call Tessa the world's first person to be desensitized to several allergies at the same time.
"In general we are excited this will potentially be a breakthrough, but it needs to be tested further," Nadeau said.
One in 13 American children has food allergies and a third of them react to more than one food. Nadeau does not know why, but she suspects a genetic and environmental interaction.
"We think that tobacco smoke or pollutants or diet may affect people who already have a predisposition for food allergies," Nadeau explained.
Tessa must eat a serving of dairy, wheat, egg, peanut and almond every day to maintain her immunity to those foods. For eggs, she mixes powder into ice cream or milk.
Since completing the clinical trial last year, Tessa has tried her first store bought cake and ice cream. The fourth grader still carries her life-saving epinephrine pen in case of emergency. But life feels more relaxed.
"I can just have fun and play with everyone else and not be worried," said Tessa.
"It's an emancipation. You get to go live your life," said her mom.
The Grosso family hopes Nadeau's research will grant other children the same taste of freedom.

I knew about Chicago Loans Fast from my colleague. He is also a student and he also was in a situation like mine. I didn't pass one of my exams and I badly needed some private lessons. Without it I was not be able to pass. And I didn't want to talk with my parents about it.
I knew that they will give me the money but they also will be mad. So I checked Chicago Loans Today and filled an online application. The staff are helpful and friendly. The first person from customer service I talked with spent 10 minutes explaining their services and the process without pushing me to make a decision.
Also the refinancing process was very easy. Very great company to work with. So I truly recommend Chicago Loans Fast to any student who wants to get funds for education!
