The Core Responsibilities of a Stereographer:
- Assist in Pre-Production: The Sterographer works together with the Director and Cinematographer and plots out a depth script for the production. Beyond that he gives his recommendations on what stereo rig technology and
camera systems should be used for a certain production.
- Supervising the Production: In multiple camera shoots the stereographer takes on the role of an overall stereo supervisor, overseeing depth pullers. On single camera shoots he is the depth puller and supervisor.
- Assisting in Post Production: After the film has been shot, the stereographer give valuable input on the overall stereography for VFX Artists and DI Artists. This should be done in a similar fashion as the cinematographer
works together with the colorist to put the final touches on the project.
- Depth Balancing: Due to recent technological advancements, it is now possible to manipulate the placement of objects in "Z" space AFTER they have been acquired to tape. We use this technique to place objects which appear in cuts and dissolves in meaningful relationships to one another, to "hand off" depths during transitions for viewing comfort and to move things through space to enhance story telling. We call this process "Depth Balancing". As it can entirely change the appearance and effect of a movie, we consider it to be a new "Art Form" which can be used to great advantage during post production on any 3D project.
- Education: Teaching directors, producers, cinematographers, crew and actors about the implications involved in stereoscopic productions.
Top Ten (plus 2) Stereo Shooting Tips (by Ray3D):
- Be meticulous about alignment, (including verticals and zoom lens matching).
- Consider final display screen size when setting "infinity" and "total deviation".
- Try to avoid or mediate high contrast subjects.
- Wider angle lenses are "friendlier" to 3D.
- Slower, longer, cuts are "friendlier" to 3D edits.
- Greater than normal depth of field can be "friendlier" to 3D shots.
- Pace your depth. The amount of depth should vary to serve the story telling.
- Take care regarding "window edge violations", particularly at the vertical edges.
- Support your stereo depth cues with appropriate mono depth cues. (Don't let your stereopsis contradict perspective, size, occlusion and/or motion parallax, etc.)
- Limit the use of "in your face" gimmicks.
- Compose your shots with an eye toward Z axis placement of all objects.
- Keep your camera moving, when possible.

text: On the face of it, green-job creation seems straightforward. Deploying more wind turbines and solar panels creates a need for more builders, technicians, tradespeople, and specialist employees. Voilà: simply by investing in green policies, we have not only helped the climate, but also lowered unemployment. Indeed, this is the essence of many studies that politicians are eagerly citing. So what did those analyses get wrong? The biggest problem in these analyses is that they often fail to recognize the higher costs or job losses that these policies will cause.

7:15 AM | Another mild day here, but a brief cold shot is headed our way for Friday and Saturday
Paul Dorian
6-Day Forecast
Mostly sunny after some early morning fog, mild, mid 60's
Increasing clouds, patchy fog and drizzle possible late, not as cool as recent nights, low 50's
Mainly cloudy, breezy, a few showers likely, low-to-mid 60's
Partly sunny, windy, colder, near 50
Mainly sunny, breezy, still chilly, mid 50's
Mainly sunny, milder, near 60
Partly sunny, mild, low 60's
High pressure continues to hover near the east coast, but it'll lose control of our weather tomorrow as a cold front slides through the region. This will lead to much colder air to end the work week and after the 60's of today and the frontal passage tomorrow, temperatures on Friday will struggle to pass 50 degrees. The late week cold shot will be short-lived; however, and temperatures will go on another upward swing later this weekend and into the early part of next week. As far as precipitation goes, not much is expected with the frontal passage on Thursday with less than a quarter inch likely. Elsewhere, there is lots of important weather activity to talk about. To start, the storm spinning north of the Bahamas is now a named tropical storm, Sean, and while it'll miss the Mid-Atlantic region, it likely will affect New England on Thursday. Meanwhile, heavy snow will pile up in parts of Wisconsin over the next 24 hours or so, but that cold snap in the Upper Midwest will be short-lived. Finally, a powerful storm is headed towards Alaska over the next couple of days with blizzard conditions likely and this storm could then blast into the Pacific Northwest this weekend. As far as the sun is concerned, there was a coronal mass ejection (CME) late on the 7th and this could cause northern lights to be visible in parts of the US tomorrow and Friday.

Katy Perry hinted that she is ready to move on after her recent split from Russell Brand, telling a crowd during a pregame Super Bowl performance, "Everything feels brand new."
The singer then flirtatiously dedicated a song to Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, who her religious parents reportedly want to fix her up with.
Perry put on an energetic show at DirecTV's Super Saturday Night, hosted by Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
In her first US concert since her December break with Brand after 14 months of marriage, Perry — who just completed a world tour — said, "We just finished 125 tour dates, so everything feels brand new," before starting her pop ballad "The One That Got Away" and asking the crowd to sing along.
Performing in a glittery half-Giants, half-Patriots cropped jersey and tiny shorts, Perry teased Tebow by dedicating her song "Peacock" to the NFL sensation.
"This goes out to Tim Tebow," she said, accompanying the ditty with a raunchy dance and suggestive moves with her microphone.
She even ended her live show Saturday night by "Tebowing."
At her show, Perry also gave a shout-out to Super Bowl performer Madonna, saying, "Who else is excited for Madonna?" She added that Madge's halftime show was, along with her own concert, the reason she was there.
Following the gig, Perry partied with pals in a VIP area at Indianapolis' Victory Field, where spies said she "appeared to be having a really good time. She was smiling and laughing."

The Flat Earthers and High Altitude Ballooning
I'm the first to admit I don't know a lot about the beliefs of modern day 'Flat Earth' believers other than they believe the Earth to be flat and not spherical as Science has generally demonstrated since before we could send people into space and actually see for ourselves.
The Flat Earth Society's website has some FAQs here for their general thinking on their beliefs which, to me, don't make a convincing case for the Earth being flat. Largely because it includes conspiracy theories that suggest even NASA is being duped into believing the Earth is spherical along with a misunderstanding of how cameras, lenses and the photo-shopping of images work.
That aside, Flat Earther's should consider taking up high altitude ballooning. At its simplest level high altitude ballooning is the process of strapping a video camera to a weather balloon and letting it float as far out into the atmosphere as it'll go before the balloon bursts, sending the camera back to the ground. Maybe try it from different points on each side of the Earth and see how things match up (I don't know... it's just an idea).
I'm not suggesting it as a way to see the curvature of the Earth for themselves using their own cameras, lenses and being able to view photoshop free images, rather, if their theory holds up, it could help make their case.
Though I've also read on their website that it's not up to them to prove that the world is flat. They appear to be of the mind set that others should disprove it. I think it's been disproved without a shadow of a doubt but, I imagine Flat Earther's would likely tell me I drank the Kool Aid.
My only thought is, whatever shape you think the Earth to be, it should be demonstrable with actual facts that either have been discovered or have yet to be. The Earth is here. We're on it. Why not prove it's flat and shut those Spherical Earther's up once and for all?
Has anyone bothered to find that 150 foot tall wall of ice that circumnavigates the entire discworld of Earth in Antarctica? NASA surely can't guard the entire thing when the USA can't even effectively guard the Mexican border?

Non-Negotiable Rules-
Note: The "Magna Carta"is one of the earliest ancestors of the United States Constitution, and is considered one of the most important legal documents in the history of democracy. . The term"Magna Carta" means "Great Charter." The "Magna Carta"was signed by King John of England in 1215 and it became the basis for English citizen's rights and played a significant role in the American Constitution.

After yet another rough outing on Tuesday, Shelby Miller is fighting his delivery, Diamondbacks Chief Baseball Officer Tony La Russa said, and a trip to the minor leagues is an option.
La Russa, during Wednesday's weekly visit on the Doug and Wolf show on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, said the organization is weighing what is best for the team and what is best for Miller as it looks to help the right-hander regain the form that made him an All-Star last season.
"We have a lot at stake," La Russa said. "Getting Shelby right is important to us. But winning every game that spot (in the rotation) comes up is, too. We're talking about what to do, the combination of what's best for Shelby ... and what's best for our team."
More from FoxSports
Miller's woeful start with the D-backs continued in Tuesday's 12-1 loss to the Pirates. He gave up three runs before he retired a batter and needed 107 pitches to get through five innings. He is 1-6 this year and his ERA ballooned to 7.09 -- which is higher than his prior two seasons combined (6.76).
"It's disappointing," Miller said after Tuesday's loss. "I feel I'm obviously a better pitcher than this, but the results just aren't there. I'm not going to quit, though."
La Russa listed three options the team could take:
* Continue to send Miller out every fifth day while working to correct things between starts.
* Send him to the bullpen for a time, like the team did with Rubby De La Rosa earlier this season.
* Option Miller to the minor leagues, where he could hopefully right himself in a much less stressful environment.
"We have some time to think about this," La Russa said, noting Miller next is scheduled to start Sunday's home game against the Padres, "so that's what we're going to do."
Whatever decision the team comes to, La Russa said Miller will be involved in the lead-up discussion.
The way right-handers Archie Bradley and Braden Shipley are pitching at hitter-friendly Triple-A Reno also could play into a decision on Miller. Bradley has a 1.99 ERA, 47 strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings and was named the PCL pitcher of the week for last week. Shipley has a 2.98 ERA and threw six shutout innings on three hits on Monday.
La Russa noted Miller has shown small glimpses of being the pitcher the D-backs paid a hefty price to acquire in an offseason trade from the Braves, meaning the ability is still there and leaving La Russa to believe the issue is mental.
"Something mental gets in there and he's fighting it," La Russa said.

BUCHAREST, Romania – Romania's prime minister has nominated a former judge for justice minister after the man who held that position resigned over massive anti-corruption protests sparked by a decree that would have diluted the anti-graft fight.
Premier Sorin Grindeanu said Wednesday that he had nominated Tudorel Toader, a former judge of the constitutional court and not a member of the ruling Social Democrat party, to take over the justice portfolio.
The previous minister, Florin Iordache, resigned on Feb. 9 over a decree that reduced penalties for corruption. He said all his initiatives were "legal and constitutional" but that he had failed to placate "public opinion."
The decree sparked weeks of protests, the biggest since the overthrow of communism in the country.

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to photograph the Autism Heroes Awards launch at the Welsh Assembly Building. The winners will be announced at Holly's Ball which helps raise money for autism charities. You can find out more information about the awards here http://www.autismheroesawards.co.uk/
I love shooting in the Senedd because even on fairly gloomy days, it has the most amazing natural light (and if you've read my other blogs, you will know how much I love natural light). I'm also fascinated by the ceiling in there.
The event coincided with World Autism Awareness Day and it was great to see so many people supporting this brilliant cause. There were some very inspiring speakers and some beautiful singing from a Welsh choir and two young solo singers. The event was rounded off by blowing bubbles on the steps of the Senedd.
Below are some of the photos from the day. If you'd like to keep up to date with Holly's Ball, you can follow their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hollys-Ball-Raising-Autism-Awareness-Codi-Ymwybyddiaeth-Awtistiaeth/104109142985727?fref=ts

"It is very important to stay humbled, inspired,
and to continue learning through passion of food."
Fernando Valladares, Co-Founder and Executive Chef of Portside credits his roots for finding passion in the culinary arts. Growing up in both Los Angeles and El Salvador, he'd watch his mother cook, asking questions and observing the technique. This simple observation and bond is what fueled his drive to create a career in culinary arts. His passion continued to grow after moving back to California and after finishing high school he applied to start a new adventure at Le Cordon Bleu. With the skills and mindset of a chef, he was able to intern at Charlie Palmer-a prestigious restaurant in Orange County- work at the very beautiful and grandiose St. Regis in Dana Point, and later moved to Los Angeles where he was able to fully dive into his culinary passion with Scott Conant at Scarpetta at the Montage, Beverly Hills. With all these prestigious notches on his belt, he was able to help co-find and become the executive chef of Portside, a fresh, chef driven fish concept serving healthy fresh fish plates.
Although it would seem that Fernando's resume has checked all the boxes when it comes to having culinary experience, he understands the importance of constantly learning. He believes in order to really thrive in the culinary industry one must stay humble, regardless of experience, repertoire, or accomplishments. Knowledge is power and to be a really good culinary artist there is always something new to learn. Fernando loves the art of the culinary world because he is able to share his creations through taste, sight and smell. Fernando gives big praise and much thanks to Mark Vergel de Dios from Ninjas with Appetite in Downtown Santa Ana for letting him be part of Portside's exciting adventure. He also gives much thanks and credit to Mark Gerald Cruz and Kevin Bobby Nguyen for giving him the chance to team up with them for the concept of Portside.
Fernando believes the key concept to staying relevant in culinary arts is to "Stay humble, regardless of where you come from, [because] there is always something new that you can learn."

test. Acceptance is determined based upon Gateway Christian School's ability to meet the needs of the whole child.
Financial Responsibility:
Parents are responsible for payment of annual registration, tuition, curriculum, and field trip fees for each student. Financial agreements will be reviewed and signed annually by the parent or guardian of each student. The annual tuition may be paid in full before the 1st day of classes or broken down into 10 payments with the first payment due before the 1st day of classes and the last payment due in May.
Tuition is due by the 1st of each month. Failure to keep an account current could result in dismissal. In the event of a financial crisis, the parent must communicate with the financial officer in a written agreement submitted by the parent and approved by the financial committee who will consider each family's situation separately and carefully. If no such communication takes place, a late fee of $25.00 will be assessed after the 10th of each month. If monthly tuition is more than 5 days past due, and no financial agreement has been made between the family and the financial officer, the student will not be allowed to attend classes until the account becomes current, or a financial agreement has been reached.
Checks being applied to a student's account should be made payable to Gateway Christian School. The student's name should be written on the check to ensure credit is made to the proper account. The school charges $50.00 if the bank does not honor a check. Debit and credit cards may be used but a convenience fee will be added.
Parents are responsible for following and supporting the homework procedure as prescribed by their child's teacher.
Grading Scale
Students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade are evaluated and use the following scale:
- I Independently achieves objectives and performs skills
- P Progressing toward achieving objectives and performing skills
- NT Needs more Time to develop
Report Cards
Printed copies of quarterly grades will be issued at the end of each quarter. Grades should be viewed on Renweb weekly. Parent/Teacher conferences are required at the end of 1st and 3rd quarter while other appointments should be made as needed.
Parent Involvement
Gateway Christian School encourages parents and guardians to volunteer a minimum of ten hours throughout the school year. This includes assistance and attendance for performances, meetings, field trips, special events, etc.
Excused absences include:
- Illness(musthaveadoctor'snote)
- Court mandated appearance
- Death in the family
Children should not attend school if they are ill. Students who are absent due to illness beyond three days will need a physician's note documenting the illness, verifying eligibility to return to school and any limitations the physician recommends. Furthermore, it is important to schedule vacations, mission trips and family conferences with school attendance in mind. If a trip is unavoidable please fill out a "Leave of Absence" form (available in the office) at least one week prior to leaving, so that you can work out a plan for missing/late work with your child's teacher.
Illness/Absence and Make-up Work
When there is an illness or approved absence, all work must be made up in a timely manner. Missed assignments are due two school days after an excused absence . Additional days may be permitted, on an individual basis, by the teacher for extended absence. No work will be accepted after two weeks of the original due date for the assignment. If the teacher does not receive the assigned work within fourteen calendar days, a zero will be given for the missed work. Parents will work in accordance with each individual teacher's homework policy, which should be worked out in advance of the intended absence.
Attendance and Tardiness
School begins at 8:00 am. Students are expected to arrive on time. A grace period of 5 minutes is extended after which students will be marked tardy.
Excused tardies include:
- Medical appointments or illness • Court mandated appointments
Gateway's tardy policy is as follows:
Any time a student is tardy will require parent/guardian to walk their child in with a $1.00
tardy fee or a medical note from their doctor.
Please note that your child is under your legal care until acknowledgement and transfer of
care has taken place with an authorized GCS staff member; for this reason it is imperative
to walk your child into the building.
If student enters GCS unaccompanied and without the $1.00 tardy fee, the dollar must be
brought in the next morning before he/she may attend class.
Ten unexcused tardies in a single grading period will result in a $25 fine.
If 18 tardies (excused or unexcused) are accumulated during the school year, the student
becomes ineligible for honor roll field trip and principal's lunch.
- Any student having 30 or more tardies within a school year will be brought before the Admission's Committee for further review.
Student Health & Wellness
Parents are asked to cooperate with the school in minimizing the spread of communicable diseases among the students and staff. Therefore,
Any student who comes to school ill or becomes ill while at school, will be taken to the office and parents will be called to pick up the student.
Parents should not send their child to school if he/she has been vomiting, has a temperature above normal (98.6 degrees F), is suspected of having a contagious condition or has not sufficiently recovered from an illness. If your child is sick please do not send him/her to school until he/she has been free from vomiting and/or fever for 24 hours.

Redemptive Discipinary Process
Standard of Conduct
In order for students to achieve success, they are expected to maintain Christian values and uphold the vision and mission of GCS both in and out of school. We are to remember that as faculty, students, and parents of GCS we represent Jesus and our school at all times. To teach accountability, behavioral guidelines will be consistently and lovingly implemented. These include maintaining respect for faculty and staff, classmates, and property.
In order for students to harmonize with the mission and high ideals of Gateway Christian School, certain standards of conduct are expected. The standards align with the principles of Matthew 7:12 ("So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." NIV). Typically, a student who desires to follow this principle will choose what is right and will seldom find it difficult to follow the rules. It is the desire of administration, faculty, and stakeholders of GCS to nurture and develop a level of spiritual maturity in students where conduct and attitudes are directed by God's guiding principles as outlined in His Holy Word. By enrolling at GCS, each student is pledging to live according to the purposes and regulations of GCS.
The policies contained herein have been developed and adopted by the stakeholders and governing body of Gateway Christian School for the physical, emotional, and spiritual welfare of the entire GCS community. They are designed to create an environment in which Christian character and academic success are encouraged. Students are reminded that they represent GCS and Jesus both in and out of school. In addition, anything posted to the internet should be of a positive and uplifting nature.
According to this principle, disciplinary or corrective actions are not to be interpreted as punishment to fit the offense, but rather, discipline for the refinement of the individual. This philosophy will prevail on the GCS campus in general; however, there may be specific acts that so affect the individual or entire school and are so removed from the purpose of GCS that one violation will automatically sever a student from the institution.
If, after learning what is expected as a student of GCS, you find that you are not in harmony with the principles and purposes and cannot wholeheartedly support them, you are encouraged to seek out a faculty member to elicit spiritual guidance and support. If you find that you are still unable to align yourself and support these purposes, you are urged to seek another school wherein you can be happy. It is strongly suggested that parents lead their children by their example and set an appropriate standard of compliance and cooperation.
Parent-Teacher Communication
Teachers will maintain open and consistent communication with parents regarding students' academic, social, emotional, and spiritual development. Parents are encouraged to seek out the teacher if they have questions regarding their child's progress. We understand that misunderstandings will occur periodically. If this happens, we believe in the Biblical procedure for conflict resolution as outlined in Matthew 18:15-17. Here is what we suggest:
Address the issue directly with the teacher. We find that, most often, clear and honest communication resolves the issue. If further communication is needed, we suggest you take the next step and address the issue with the teacher and principal together. If you believe the issue has not been resolved after that, you may address the school board of directors in writing and/or request an audience with said members for the purpose of final resolution.
Redemptive Disciplinary Process
We realize that, at times, children will err and transgress the code of conduct. When this happens, corrective and/or disciplinary action will be administered. The purpose of disciplinary action is to raise awareness of the behavior, take responsibility for one's actions, and create opportunities to develop Christ-like character through a redemptive process that aligns with the mission of Gateway Christian School.
This process begins in the classroom.
Teacher will address the issue with the student privately to raise awareness of the behavior.
If the behavior is not corrected in a timely manner, parent(s) will also be made aware to assist in the redemptive process.
If necessary, administration will be included (along with the teacher, parent(s), and child) in this process.
If the behavior continues despite these efforts, the situation will be brought before the admissions committee to determine further action. It may be necessary for the child and parent(s) to be present during this discussion.
After a determined amount of time to allow for correction of the behavior, the admissions committee will reconvene and decide the next step. If the behavior has improved, the student will continue to be monitored. If the attempts at corrective action prove to be unsuccessful, the admissions committee may recommend that the student no longer attend GCS which will then be forwarded to the governing body of Gateway Christian School for a final vote.
Cheating is defined as any effort to obtain credit for work that is not one's own, including copying the work of other students, making a cheat sheet for a test, plagiarizing the thoughts or words of others, accessing prohibited materials or resources (such as calculators if banned by the teacher), or otherwise claiming credit for or taking advantage of material the student did not produce and for which he/she is not responsible.
Students who transgress will have the redemptive disciplinary process applied.
Serious Offenses
For the safety and well being of students, faculty, and staff, certain offenses fall outside the realm of our disciplinary process and requires immediate action. Some of these serious offenses include, but are not limited to:

text: News The Hidden Agenda Of Online Staff Scheduling July 14, 2017/ By:admin/ No Comments Specify the expression Online Staff Scheduling, and distinctive contemplation rung a bell. Setting arrangements in Microsoft Standpoint? Utilizing Google Logbook to speak with companions and business colleagues? Seeing the date-book fly up when you book a flight or a room? Or, on the other hand perhaps you think about the online software an expanding number of doctor's, well being clubs, schools and numerous different organizations vast and little are utilizing for their customers, patients, understudies and clients to all the more effectively book their arrangements. The vast majority of us use the Web in our day by day lives, and we're comfortable with the apparently unending cluster of timetables, time and date drop-down catches, and area fields found on most Sites. This innovation makes it less demanding to deal with the essential occasions in our bustling ways of life, and it's the reason for online scheduling administrations. "Jane Jones, a mother of two youthful kids, drives a quick paced life. Notwithstanding her 9-to-5 office work, she likewise has the every day duties a considerable lot of us share: taking care of relative needs, get ready suppers, paying bills and scheduling arrangements. She needs to book a meeting with her beautician, however this is normally a test, given her bustling daytime plan and the beautician's restricted available time. Luckily, her beautician now offers online self-scheduling." Online arrangement scheduling, in the genuine feeling of the term, is a software as an administration (SAAS) program that permits people, organizations and associations and their clients, patients and customers to effortlessly book arrangements online. Regardless of whether it's for an administration arrangement or enrolling for a class, Electronic scheduler administrations give the two suppliers and clients the adaptability to deal with their timetables all the more proficiently and successfully time permitting. We as a whole lead exceptionally bustling lives, and in many cases something as trifling as a telephone call to book an arrangement can transform into an additional bother, particularly in case we're put on hold for a broadened time frame or can't talk with some person amid non-business hours. With all the innovation accessible, why not exploit it for these basic, yet critical, undertakings? HOW Can IT Function? "Jane is prepared to book her meeting with her beautician. With her own logbook close by, she gets to the beautician's Site and taps on the arrangement catch. A logbook shows up, and she see's what dates and times are accessible. In the wake of checking her timetable, she taps on the day and time she'd jump at the chance to come in. Her arrangement is reserved. No telephone calls. No email request. It's as simple as that." Online arrangement scheduling software comes in many structures, yet most consolidate a few essential standards. Most associations who permit clients, customers and patients to book administrations online normally control them towards their Site, which will have a catch connection or pennant to get to the online scheduling page. A few locales require the client to enlist first before making an arrangement; these people are generally issued a login name and secret key for future arrangements. Different destinations don't require it and allow their clients and patients to plan openly without signing in. Once on the enrollment page, the client regularly will see a timetable to perceive what days, times and areas are accessible to plan their administration. Inaccessible dates are commonly shown on the timetable. The client chooses a period by tapping out on the town in the timetable. Contingent upon whether the individual has signed in and the framework remembers him or her, the administration may incite the registrant to give data, for example, first and last name, address, email and telephone. Once affirmed, the arrangement is consequently reserved in the framework. It's as straightforward as that. Simple, no holding up, no removing extra time from our lives to make arrangements. Some scheduling administrations offer arrangement updates for the two registrants and the specialist co-op, for the most part 24 hours earlier the planned date. These can be as email and additionally instant message. As the vast majority have phones and Web get to, these updates are precious in educating them of their up and coming arrangements and, on the other hand, enable the specialist organizations to diminish the quantity of "no-appears." Albeit self-scheduling can be a gigantic advantage to the two clients and specialist co-ops, a few associations select not to give this and rather use the arrangement scheduling administration for inward scheduling purposes as it were. Despite everything they'll take arrangements by telephone, fax and email, and afterward physically input them into the administration. Online scheduling programs are ideal for this technique too, since it gives these entrepreneurs the devices they have to better sort out their arrangement date-books and arrangement updates. WHAT ARE THE Advantages? Utilizing a pen or pencil and scratch pad to bring down arrangements by telephone or email is turning into a relic of past times. Online arrangement setting administrations are helping people, organizations and associations across the nation and around the world enhance staff effectiveness, spare cash and give clients greater adaptability. We should analyze how. Staff Time. Taking and setting arrangements can gobble up a substantial rate of a staffer's workday. The time squandered could be utilized all the more gainfully. An online arrangement scheduling software framework can free up a staffer for more essential errands, which benefits the general operations of the business or association. Moreover, organizations that don't permit self-scheduling still advantage by using a productive, simple to-keep up inner arrangement framework. Cash Investment funds. Referencing the above projectile thing, an organization that offers self-scheduling can spare cash by expelling arrangement setting obligations from staff individuals, along these lines dispensing with the requirement for a staff part whose essential duties incorporate setting arrangements. Furthermore, Electronic self-scheduling frameworks normally cost generously not as much as specially customized frameworks. Client Adaptability. An expanding number of your clients and customers both present and potential-are expecting helpful online administrations. Not giving these could put your association off guard, particularly if your rivals are putting forth it. It may not appear like a major issue, but rather numerous people are taking a gander at specialist organizations' online components before settling on a choice. "When she booked her arrangement, Jane asked for both an email and content update. A day prior to her session, she gets both. Jane esteems the online arrangement benefit offered by her hairdresser, and expects a greater amount of her specialist organizations including her specialist, dental practitioner, fitness coach and chiropractor-to offer it too. Some as of now have. It's surely profited her and her bustling way of life." WHO NEEDS IT? The short answer is generally organizations. Clients of this innovation incorporate an extensive variety of enterprises, from private ventures to expansive Fortune 500 organizations. On the off chance that an association gives an administration that requires an arrangement or particular time and area, odds are they can offer online scheduling for its patients, customers and clients. We should investigate some of these businesses and how they use online arrangement scheduling administrations. Doctor, Dental practitioner and Chiropractor Workplaces. These offices utilize online scheduling to book understanding arrangements and administrations, along these lines authorizing receptionists and care staff for more critical undertakings. Picture takers and Photography Studios. Picture takers would more be able to effectively deal with their current client arrangements and pull in new customers with an online scheduling nearness. Back rub Specialists, Salons and Spas. Online arrangement scheduling is an incredible advantage for people who use these administrations and medications, particularly general customers who can undoubtedly plan their next arrangement online without picking up the telephone. Government, Region and Metropolitan Offices. These administration bodies utilize it for an assortment of purposes, from scheduling influenza shot centers to booking sports hone fields and stop offices. Schools, Colleges and Instructive Establishments. A large portion of our instructive establishment customers utilize online arrangement software to book rooms, plan understudy arrangements at directing and different offices, and organize courses and addresses. Individual Wellness Coaches. Online scheduling enables them to invest less energy in physically dealing with their preparation calendar and additional time concentrating on their customer base. Cargo and Conveyance Administrations. Organizations that represent considerable authority in cargo and conveyance are truly profiting by online scheduling, as it gives a simple approach to appoint dock times and areas for its drivers.

Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) are the building blocks for life, but too much in a natural system can lead to problems. Our communities contribute excess nutrients to the Sound from wastewater, septic systems, fertilizer, and fossil fuel burning. Nitrogen fertilizes excessive growth of plant-like organisms (phytoplankton and seaweed), leading to algae blooms. As these organisms and the animals that feed on them respire, die, and decompose, oxygen in the water is depleted. Our other indicators capture the impact of high nutrient inputs (low DO, high chlorophyll a, low water clarity). When conditions are very bad, we sometimes see fish kills and harmful algal blooms.
How is it measured?
Total nitrogen and total phosphorus were measured at approximately 23 stations up to 33 times during the period of interest (January to December). Total nitrogen is the amount of nitrate, nitrite, ammonia and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen in the water. Total phosphorus is the amount of dissolved phosphate and organophosphate in the water.

Federal agents deported a man wanted in Mexico for a brutal homicide–his third trip since 2013.
The deportation of Elmer Tinoco-Eutimio, 22, for the third time in three years illustrates the appeal of building a wall to secure our border with Mexico. Tinoco-Eutimio has been able to return at-will after being deported repeatedly. The Mexican national was wanted in his home country for a vicious homicide where he bludgeoned an elderly woman to death in her home with a hammer, according to information obtained from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by Breitbart Texas.
Tinoco-Eutimio was first deported to Mexico April 8, 2013, from Laredo, Texas, after U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Border Patrol agents issued him an expedited removal order, ICE reported. The Mexican national illegally re-entered the United States six weeks later and was arrested by Border Patrol agents working outside of Eagle Pass, Texas. A U.S. Magistrate in Del Rio, Texas convicted him of illegal entry on May 30, 2013 and sentenced him to serve 30 days in jail. He was promptly deported after completing his sentence. Felony re-entry is punishable by imprisonment of up to 20 years if convicted.
During a speech in Phoenix, Arizona, on Wednesday night, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump discussed the need to deport criminal aliens from the United States. He also addressed the more significant issue of securing the border to keep criminals from returning to the U.S. either to hide from justice in Mexico or to commit new crimes locally. Trump met Wednesday with President Enrique Peña Nieto where they explored the common benefit to securing the border in order to reduce cartel related crimes.
"Removing criminal foreign fugitives from the United States is an ICE priority," said Daniel Bible, field office director of ERO San Antonio. "The cooperation between the United States and the Mexican governments resulted in this foreign fugitive being safely returned to his home country where he can stand trial for his alleged crime."
During his speech in Phoenix, Trump pledged to triple the number of ICE agents dedicated to rounding up and deporting criminal aliens. He also spoke of addressing the issue of countries who refuse to repatriate their citizens being deported from the United States. Breitbart Texas reported in July there are currently 179,040 criminal aliens in the U.S. that have been ordered deported but still reside in this country.
"There are at least 23 countries that refuse to take their people back after they've been ordered to leave the United States," Trump explained in his speech. "Including large numbers of violent criminals, they won't take them back. So we say, OK, we'll keep them. Not going to happen with me, not going to happen with me … And by the way, the results are horrific, horrific, Trump continued. "There are often terrible consequences, such as Casey Chadwick's tragic death in Connecticut just last year. Yet despite the existence of a law that commands the Secretary of State to stop issuing visas to these countries."
"Secretary Hillary Clinton ignored this law and refused to use this powerful tool to bring nations into compliance. And, they would comply if we would act properly," Trump added.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) joined with two of his colleagues to draft legislation to strengthen American resolve to force countries to repatriate their citizens who have committed crimes. Cornyn was joined by Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) to introduce the Remedies for Refusal of Repatriation Act (known as Casey's Law in honor of Casey Chadwick's murder).
Casey Chadwick was a 25-year-old woman from Connecticut who was killed by a criminal illegal alien in 2015. The accused murderer, Jean Jacques, had already been in prison for 17 years for attempted murder. Her body was found stuffed in a closet. Haiti previously refused to return him.
ICE agents have deported 1,789 foreign fugitives since 2009. Breitbart Texas has reported extensively on criminal aliens who have been captured re-entering the United States or who are found after committing other violent crimes.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that my go-to outfit is usually jeans and a tshirt or sweats. But I am a fashion blogger, after all, so sometimes I gotta throw on a dress and actually put myself together. Through it all, though, I'm still just a glorified tomboy.
Even on the days where I do get more dressed up, I still like to keep it edgy and laid back–and moto-inspired pieces are one of my favorite ways to accomplish that. Tossing a moto jacket over your shoulder and sliding your feet into some studded boots is an instant way to take your tshirt-and-jeans look to the next level!
Moto inspired pieces can take a plain white tshirt (or a basic chambray shirtdress) and make it seem like you're super stylish and confident without much effort.

Ermir Cani, is a bright talented student and humanitarian from Albania. He joined the Erasmus program to study Finance at the Cracow University of Economics in Poland. Ermir says that the experience changed his life for the better.
"The Erasmus exchange program has been a powerful experience in both promoting my Albanian culture, and also learning about Poland, its traditions and its people. We share similar values in the sense that I found Polish people to be very peace-loving, welcoming and very kind, very similar to the Albanian values where "Besa" offers great hospitality to our guests."
"I am thankful to my Exchange Program Coordinator, Dominika Lemler, for her support, care and constant efforts to ensure that I settle well and integrate well at the new university. She has been wonderful and I really appreciate everything she has done for me. The experience at the Cracow University of Economics has changed my life forever for the better," said Ermir Cani.
Ermir shared with NY Elite that his University and Erasmus experience encouraged him to challenge himself, to be confident, independent, and serve as a cultural ambassador for his country Albania. He also enjoyed taking the "Change Leadership" training seminar taught by Viktorija Prapraite, learning about the principles of leadership.
"A leader must be able to understand his own emotions as well as the team's. He must be self-motivated and be able to manage the matters effectively. Being able to lead is like going up a hill wearing a backpack full of rocks, and be ready to understand and handle the difficulty and challenges that may come up on that bumpy road," said Ermir.
Ermir Cani was born in Peqin, Albania. He studied Finance and Accounting at the University of Elbasan "Aleksandër Xhuvani". He was also chosen President of the School Senate. In 2015 he founded "Ideartë", a non-profit organization encouraging the youth to get more involved and give back to the community. Along with the members of the group, Ermir Cani has organized several humanitarian initiatives, which have now become annual activities with the support of the local council, police, schools and the citizens of Peqin. Since 2015 "Ideartë" has organized annually Cycling Marathons, food and support for low income families during the Christmas and New Year's festivities, as well as encouraged reading for the young kids by donating more than 300 books to the library with the help of "Onufri" Publishing House.
"I love to see people smile and to help others as much as I can. We want to see the youth get involved, stay out of trouble and give back to the community. We have organized every year several cultural and social events and we thank everyone for their support. Peqin is a very historic city, it has an ancient history, and as the young generation we want to leave our mark in bringing progress and development in Albania," said Ermir Cani for NY Elite.
Ermir Cani says that he is inspired by his great grandfather, Kastriot Cani, National Hero and Teacher of Merit, who was awarded by the U.S. Congress for his democratic efforts in Albania in collaboration with United States. He is thankful to his family for their continued support. After graduation, Ermir plans to pursue his higher education and continue for his master's degree.

4 Ways Amazon Has Been Crushing it in Retail
Amazon doesn't mess around when it comes to taking market share away from its competitors. But while they've led the e-commerce conversation for years, dominating the online shopping world simply isn't enough.
As an up-and-coming brand like yourself, there are many lessons that can be learned through the close examination of a leading-edge company like Amazon. We thought we'd compile a list of the top four ways the company has been crushing it in retail.
They introduced a new members-only rewards Visa
One thing that sets Amazon apart (and keeps their bottom line nice and plush) from their competition is their membership program. According to Greg Buzek, founder and president of IHL Group, Amazon Prime members are among the most affluent in the U.S., with 70 percent of households earning $112,000 or more.
However, resting on one's laurels does no company good. To combat competitors like Costco, who also have a vast and loyal consumer base, Amazon has recently launched a new Prime Rewards Visa Card. Free to Prime members, the card rewards users with five percent cash back on all purchases made at Amazon, two percent in Amazon credit for restaurant and gas purchases, and one percent cash back for everything else. The benefits put Amazon's card on par with Costco's Visa Anywhere Card, making it one of the best of its kind in the industry.
They're quietly taking over the apparel business
Believe it or not, Amazon is the largest online clothing retailer in the U.S., outselling major department stores like Macy's, Nordstrom, and Gap. In fact, their market share is expected to hit 20 percent by 2020. However, Amazon may be looking to significantly increase those numbers after a study conducted by Morgan Stanley reveals 60 percent of Amazon shoppers would be willing to buy more clothing through if they carried a wider selection of brands. As a result, Amazon has been trying to woo the biggest names in fashion to position itself as a top-tier online fashion destination. There are also rumors flying that Amazon is looking to acquire American Apparel's physical store assets, and that the company will be developing a private label active wear line. It's clear that Amazon has big plans for its apparel business in the coming year.
They're disrupting grocery store retail
Lauded as the "grocery store of the future," Amazon's new venture into brick and mortar retail – Amazon Go – is completely disrupting the food and beverage industry, particularly the grocery sector. Selling ready-made grocery staples, the 1,800 square foot stores are designed with a seamless shopping process in mind. Consumers can breeze in and out with no lines using the Amazon Go app and what Amazon calls its "Just Walk Out Technology." Products taken from or returned to store shelves are automatically detected and placed into a virtual cart. When consumers are done shopping, they can simply walk out of the store, assured their purchases will be charged to their Amazon.com account.
They've cornered the smart home market
Despite having a strong competitor in Google, it seems Amazon has a leg up when it comes to its popular smart home tool, the Amazon Echo (otherwise known as Alexa). The voice-activated device seems to be ramping up Amazon's marketplace sales as it's yet another way shoppers can buy through Amazon with virtually no hassle. According to the NPD, owners of an Amazon Echo device spend about 10 percent more money on Amazon than they did before they had the device, and shop 6 percent more frequently than they did before.

History of the Hall Latest Inductees Find an Inductee Nomination Form
Sports Hall of Fame
Michel Blais
Inducted in 2017 as an Athlete
Institution: Concordia
Michel Blais is one of the most accomplished defencemen in the history of the Concordia Stingers men's hockey program. In his five seasons in uniform he was well-known for aggressive play in his own end, smooth skating and a powerful shot from the point.
Blais played 196 games for the Stingers, scoring 50 goals and adding 119 assists for 169 points. He was also the Concordia captain in his final three seasons.
A native of Amos, Que., he was highly decorated, earning all-Canadian honours in 1979 and conference all-star awards in 1979 and 1980. Blais was named the Concordia hockey team's rookie of the year, outstanding defenceman and team MVP over the course of his five years. He was also recognized as Concordia's Male Athlete of the Year in 1979.
The Stingers enjoyed great success in Blais' time, winning five QUAA championships and making four appearances at university men's hockey nationals.
Blais arrived at Concordia with an exceptional hockey résumé. He enjoyed a stellar junior career and in 1975 he was drafted by the NHL's Minnesota North Stars and the WHA's Indianapolis Racers. However, he chose to attend Concordia and pursue his education. He earned a BSc in Bio-Physical Education before embarking on a successful career in teaching.
Sommer Christie
Inducted in 2017 as an Athlete
Institution: Concordia
Sommer Christie, a highly-accomplished scrum half with the women's rugby team, was the emotional leader and a driving force behind the Concordia Stingers' success for five seasons.
The Wentworth, Que. native was a five-time Quebec conference all-star and its MVP in 2002. She was a three-time all-Canadian and was named the top university athlete by Women in Networking, also in 2002.
Concordia honored Christie with a multitude of awards including Female Athlete of the Year in 2002. She was the rugby team's rookie of the year in 1999 and the team MVP in 2001, 2002 and 2003. She also received an award of distinction in recognition of her career achievements in 2004.
Christie was a team captain for four seasons and helped the Stingers reach the national championship tournament in 1999. She also represented Concordia and Canada at the inaugural FISU women's 7s championship and brought home a gold medal.
She was a standout with Team Quebec, the captain of Canada's U23 team and she was a member of Canada's senior national team, competing in two World Cups and earning 13 caps.
Christie was a three-time academic all-Canadian. After completing her undergraduate studies in Exercise Science at Concordia, she pursued a Master's degree in Human Kinetics and a PhD in Sport Psychology, Biofeedback and Neurofeedback. She works in the field of Mental Performance for elite athletes.
Greg Miller
Inducted in 2017 as an Athlete
Institution: Concordia
Greg Miller is the first linebacker from the Concordia Stingers football tradition to earn a wide variety of prestigious honours, including entry into the university's Sports Hall of Fame.
An aggressive and tenacious player, Miller represented the Stingers for five seasons, including the 1982 O-QIFC championship campaign. The two-time team captain was the leading tackler on Concordia in his final two seasons.
The Toronto native was a two-time league all-star and a two-time all-Canadian, receiving the awards in 1984 and 1985. In his final season he was also named the conference's Defensive Player of the Year and was a nominee for the Presidents' Trophy, the national award recognizing exceptional play on defence.
Miller is the first defensive player in the history of the Stingers program to earn all-Canadian honors. After the 1985 season, he was also the first Concordia player to be presented the Montreal Alouettes Alumni Trophy as the top university football player in Quebec.
In 1985 he was selected in the sixth round of the CFL draft by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He returned to Concordia for one more season and completed a BA in Sociology. He went on to play fullback for three seasons with the Ottawa Rough Riders, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Edmonton Eskimos.
Tom Smith
Inducted in 2017 as a Builder
Institution: Concordia
Concordia University has one of the most respected men's university rugby programs in Canada, largely due to the passion, vision and efforts of Tom Smith.
When he arrived at Concordia to begin his studies in 1976, there was no men's rugby team. Friends encouraged him to do something about it, and he did. Smith started planning, recruiting, looking for a coach and looking for funding - all without the help of the athletic department.
By the fall of 1977 Smith had pulled it together and the Concordia men's rugby club played its first games thanks to funding from the student union. The program continued to grow, attracting more players and adding more games. In the fall of 1979, men's rugby was accepted as a club team by the athletics department.
Now hundreds of young men have enjoyed the privilege of playing Concordia rugby, learning about respect, effort and the importance of academics.
Smith has stayed involved with the program for more than 40 years, taking on a variety of roles from player to administrator to coach. More recently he's served as a recruiter, evaluator and scout. Throughout it all, Concordia rugby has stayed close to his heart and remained a great source of pride.
He earned a BA in History in 1981 and went on to earn a Master's in Social Work in 1996. Smith has enjoyed a successful career in social work and continues to volunteer with a variety of sports organizations.
1998- Women's Rugby Team
Inducted in 2017 as a Team
Institution: Concordia
In 1998 the CIAU, which was the national governing body for university sport in Canada, introduced women's rugby and announced that its inaugural national championship would be hosted by McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., Nov. 13-15.
The opportunity to be in the historic championship was something for the 1998 Concordia Stingers women's rugby team to strive for, but it would be an uphill battle coming off a disappointing season in 1997 that saw the Stingers finished out of playoff contention.
Under the direction of head coach Sheila Turner, Concordia rose to the challenge. The Stingers completed the regular season with a strong 4-1 win-loss record and finished in second place. The only defeat was a 5-0 loss at the hands of their formidable crosstown rivals the McGill Martlets. Even with the loss, they outscored their conference opponents 172-13.
The Stingers defeated the Bishop's Gaiters 17-0 in the league semifinals, setting up a rematch with McGill for the Quebec conference championship and a high seed at the nationals.
The Stingers found themselves trailing the Martlets in the dying seconds of the game when rookie Chantal Hurtubise plunged over the goal line for a try to make the score 12-8 giving Concordia the provincial title.
In Hamilton, the Stingers defeated the St. Francis Xavier X-Women 15-0 in their opening game, but struggled in next three contests. Concordia finished fourth out of six teams at the inaugural championship.
The 1998 women's rugby team will always be remembered for its fierce determination and drive as well as for setting an incredible standard for all the Concordia teams that follow.
Team MembersAlice Li Roussel, Alison Piela, Danielle Hurtubise, Dia Hurtubise, Dominique Desroches, Erin Dance, Jennifer Bridgeman, Julie Boulanger, Laurent Frey (Arner), Margo Legault, Marie Valderrama, Olivia Frame, Rebecca Best, Sandra Lillico, Suzanne Babb, Christina Andreatos, Trish McKenzie, Sheila Turner, Monika (Conway) Wight, Lynda Domazet, Lucy Tran, Alexandra Bremner, Cristal Zavala, Christina Meaker, Alysha Donnan, Amy Buckland, Candace Patterson, Jessica Bickford, Annie Blyth Barfuss, Leigh Garland, Chantal Hurtubise, Victoria Jones, Laura Murray, Natalie Turner, Josee Lacasse
1961-1962 Men's Basketball Team
Inducted in 2017 as a Team
Institution: Sgw
The Sir George Williams University men's basketball program has a rich and storied history. There have been many great stars and accomplishments over the years, and the 1961-62 team had plenty of both.
For the first time in a number of years the Georgians defeated a couple of respected American opponents in exhibition play. They defeated Castleton State College 65-58 and Albany College of Pharmacy 70-44.
Sir George competed in the City Intercollegiate Basketball League and swept all games versus Université de Montreal and Loyola College, but struggled to get past McGill University, losing 57-52 in the league final.
The Georgians rolled up an impressive 11-1 win-loss record in Ottawa-St. Lawrence Intercollegiate Athletic Association play. Their only loss coming late in the season at the hands of the Carleton Ravens. On Friday, March 9, before a packed house at Mont St. Louis Gym, captain Willie Epstein scored 19 points to lead Sir George to a league championship defeating the same Ravens team 67-55. It was the third straight OSLAA title for the Georgians.
The championship capped off a great era in the history of Georgian men's basketball.
The 1961-62 team was coached by the legendary Mag Flynn, and this was the last season for the man who had been Sir George's coach since 1950. He left with an exceptional record of 155 wins and just 24 losses.
The spring of 1962 also marked end of the fine careers of Willie Epstein, Sy Luterman, Marty Lehrer and Soly Apel - four young men who had helped bring great glory to Sir George Williams men's basketball.
Coach Flynn had always been reluctant to name the best Georgian team and top players from his years in athletics, but when he retired from coaching in 1962 he finally relented. "You just have to go with the group of Epstein, Lehrer, Luterman, Watson and Apel and their staggering 47-5 record in Canadian collegiate competition of 47-5 over the last three years."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Many cancer patients use complementary and alternative methods -- most often prayer, relaxation, supplements, meditation and massage, U.S. researchers said.
The study, appearing in the American Cancer Society journal Cancer, used data from more than 4,000 survivors of 10 different cancers participating in the American Cancer Society's Study of Cancer Survivors-I who were surveyed 10 to 24 months after diagnosis.
Study co-author Dr. Ted Gansler of the American Cancer Society said women, younger survivors, whites, individuals with higher income and those with more education were more likely to use complementary methods.
The study confirmed the findings of previous surveys that found cancer patients use the same complementary methods used among the general population and among people with other chronic diseases, such as spiritual practices, relaxation methods and dietary supplements.
"Our study found that several complementary methods types are used by nearly half of cancer survivors," Gansler said in a statement. "Surprisingly, other methods such as acupuncture and hypnosis were used by fewer than 2 percent of cancer survivors, even though recent studies found them to be useful in relieving some cancer-related symptoms, such as pain."
