Krampus: a bestial demon of debatable historic origin who haunts Central Europe in December, and particularly during the Krampusnacht festival. Some say Krampus is a holdover from pre-Christian pagan nature spirits turned into a devil by the Catholic Church. Some say he's always been a devil, as evidenced by his rusty chains and shackles, symbols of his escape from Hell. Whatever the case may be, Krampus plays second fiddle and assistant to St. Nicholas (aka Santa Claus) during the Feast of St. Nicholas (December 6). The hairy fiend threatens to beat naughty children with bundles of ruten, or birch twigs, or stow them away in a sack even as St. Nick rewards nice kids with presents. Gifts or human trafficking: Christmas does not play around in the Alps.

Week 31
Pet Photography 52 Weeks Project
Theme: "Wood"
This is a blog circle!
If you scroll down to the bottom of this post and click the link, it will take you to the next very talented Pet Photographer. Keep going until you land back here and you will have come full circle!
We were given the theme "wood" this week. After thinking about it for a few days the wood I chose is an object which serves as a platform. I selected this particular wood for its interesting texture, leading lines and complimentary neutral color. If I could have a do over I would have angled the box slightly so as to avoid the bright patches of sky, but, the moment was lost when neighbor dogs poked their heads through the hedge to bark hello and ask what we were doing! That said, I do like the summer feel the bright background invokes. The colors makes me think of pink lemonade!
This is the super adorable sweet side of Bruiser who is definitely getting the hang of this modeling thing! He has another side too, but we don't need to get into that here!
Follow along with me to see how wood was incorporated in the images of About A Dog Photography in St. Cloud and central Minnesota.

How Does William Golding Create the Tensions in the Spire?
The Spire' Essay
"The Spire is a novel full of tensions"
Explore the ways that Golding achieves these tensions and what they bring to the novel
The Spire' revolves around Jocelin and his quest to have a spire built on the cathedral. Through his blind faith, Jocelin accepts the cost that this building is having on the cathedral and the people that inhabit the cathedral. Tension is built throughout this novel in a number of ways, most notably in the impact that the building of the spire has on the people around Jocelin. Tension is achieved through two main parts of the novel, the battle between the church and the pagans, and the affair between Goody Pangall and Roger Mason.
Jocelin as a character is an aloof, detached man who is blinded by his faith. He has his vision for the spire and will do anything to have it built. He irritates and infuriates people with his unbridled zeal for the building of the spire. This conflicts with other characters in the novel and creates tensions between Jocelin and other characters. He creates a detached nature with the reader and other characters through his actions and his nature. This is clear even from the beginning of the book, where in the chapter house the conflict between the Lord Chancellor and Jocelin is marked. Here, Golding uses language such as "exploding" and "sunlight" for Jocelin, and describes the Lord Chancellor as his "face dark with shadow". Golding continues to show the division between Jocelin and the rest of the cathedral, with two deacons discussing how he is "proud", "ignorant" and how "he thinks he is a saint". It is implied that the man they are talking about is Jocelin. The dialogue between Father Anselm and Jocelin demonstrates the resentment felt by the rest of the clergy in what Jocelin is doing. They do not agree, but his aunt is the one funding the building of the spire, so they cannot do anything to prevent it. The language used here, early on in the book between...

The officer, identified only as C12, struggled to contain his emotion as he described for an inquest in minute detail how he shot Mr de Menezes three times in the head at point blank range because he was convinced he was a suicide bomber about to detonate and commit mass murder.
He said: "If there was any alternative, you must believe me, I would have taken it but I did not have any alternative."
The victim's mother Maria Otone de Menezes, 63, sat only a few yards away as the veteran firearms officer, speaking publicly for the first time about the shooting, gave evidence at an inquest at the Oval cricket ground in London.
Mr de Menezes was shot inside Stockwell Tube station in south London on July 22, 2005 after being mistaken for failed suicide bomber Hussain Osman.
Osman was one of four men who had tried and failed to set off bombs on the London transport network the previous day.
C12, a member of Scotland Yard's elite CO19 fireams unit, was the first of two officers to open fire.
He had never opened fire on a suspect before in 10 years as a firearms officer.
He was close to tears as he told the victim's family: "I can't begin to put myself in the position that they are faced with. I am a family man myself and to lose a son or any member of our family I just can't believe. I offer my sincere condolences. I really, really respectfully do that."
The officer told the inquest he only found out the next day that he had killed the wrong man.
He said: "There was a sense of disbelief, shock, sadness, confusion. Everything I have ever trained for proved wrong.
"I am responsibe for the death of an innocent man. It's something I have got to live with for the rest of my life."
C12 said a briefing he had received before the shooting had been little more than a "pen sketch".
Mr de Menezes had been tracked by a police surveillance team from a block of flats in Tulse Hill, south London and he described hearing instructions on the radio that the suspect "must not be allowed to get in the Tube".
He then heard: "All units, state red, state red" which meant the suspect had to be stopped.
The officer described his "frustration" after his firearms team - the "black team" - arrived at Stockwell station to find that the suspect had already gone inside. He also described how radio communications with surveillance teams and Scotland Yard were "awful" and intermittent.
He ran into the station, vaulted the ticket barrier and unholstered his Glock pistol. At the bottom of the escalator he saw a surveillance officer who said: "He's on the north bound Tube."
When he got to the train he saw another surveillance officer, identified as Ivor, holding the doors open with his foot. Ivor pointed to Mr de Menezes and said: "That's him."
C12 said Mr de Menezes then got up and started walking towards him. The officer said he shouted "armed police" and pointed his gun at the suspect's face but Mr de Menezes kept moving towards him.
He said: "It was at that stage that I just formed the opinion that he's going to detonate, he's going to kill us and I have to act now in order to stop this from happening."
There was then a "rugby scrum" as Ivor pushed Mr de Menezes back into his seat and the three men grappled.
C12 said he reached around Ivor, hitting him in the head with the gun, and shot the suspect in the head three times.
He said: "I had to be certain that life was extinct, that there wasn't any more threat, that this person couldn't detonate a bomb.
"If there was any alternative, you must believe me, I would have taken it but I did not have any alternative.
"If I did not act, members of the public would be killed, my colleagues would be killed and I would be killed. I had a duty to protect the public. I honestly believed this man to be a suicide bomber."
Another officer, identified as C2 also fired but C12 said he was only "generally" aware of him.
Afterwards, the two officers were both "covered in blood" and checked each other for wounds. C12 said he had felt "relief" because he thought they had stopped a suicide bomber.
The officer said he would not have fired at Mr de Menezes if he had remained seated, or if he had stopped approaching him when he shouted "armed police".

About us
The Centre for Postcolonial Studies (CPS) is an important new initiative in the School of Advanced Study, University of London, building on the School's role in the international government policy and consultancy arena. The Centre's mission is to make a significant contribution to the field of postcolonial studies and to highlight the value of policy-relevant research in the humanities.
The CPS coordinates contributions from SAS's constituent institutes in London with the aim of promoting and advancing research into the postcolonial world and facilitating dialogue between policy-makers and academic researchers. It also aims to become a London hub for UK postcolonial studies, activities and events, and for international research and collaboration.
The research being advanced and promoted by the new Centre is not limited to cultural or critical theory, which has hitherto been the dominant prism through which scholars have viewed the postcolonial world. This ambitious initiative also seeks to engage with empirical research in the fields of law, medicine, governance, counter-terrorism, health studies and business. The distinctiveness of the CPS is that it aims to be very much a hybrid and interdisciplinary organisation, working on the principal that the complexity of the contemporary world cannot be understood by any one discipline alone. It seeks to elucidate what the French thinker, Georges Bataille, called 'the politics of atmosphere', which underlines many of the political and geo-political shifts taking place in the world today.
The CPS also publishes Francosphères, the University of London's bi-annual journal of transcultural and intercultural French Studies, edited by Professor Hussey and published by Liverpool University Press. Its operations are based both in Senate House in London and in Reid Hall in Paris, enabling it to reach out to a wide range of collaborators.
The Director
The Centre's mission to reach out beyond the academy is exemplified by the work of Professor Andrew Hussey OBE, an internationally renowned expert on France and North Africa. As an essayist, broadcaster and public speaker, Professor Hussey communicates this research far beyond academic audiences. His work has led to debates about the contemporary significance of French and North African cultures in the 21st century. The first public manifestation of the CPS was at the 2014 Hammamet Conference in Tunisia, a major think-tank organised by the British Council. Its first 'hands-on' activity was to work with journalists in Tunis who had witnessed, and sometimes helped make, the 'Arab Spring'. The year 2015 has seen the publication both of a paperback edition and a French translation of Professor Hussey's highly-praised international bestseller, The French Intifada (Granta Books, 2014). He has published articles in the Observer, the New Statesman, the Guardian, the New York Times, and has lectured at the Royal College of Defence Studies and the Institut Fritz Bauer, Frankfurt. Professor Hussey has also written and presented documentaries for Channel 4 and BBC Radio 4. Click here to visit his full profile.
CPS Research Officer
Dr Maria del Pilar Kaladeen joined the CPS in October 2016. Her work as an academic has focused on the system of indenture in Guyana and its representation in colonial and postcolonial literature. Having completed her PhD at Royal Holloway, University of London, Maria is now working on the publication of her dissertation: 'With Eyes of Wonder: Colonial Writing on Indentured East Indians in British Guiana, 1838-1917'. Maria left school at fifteen and returned to education as an adult, taking a degree in English Language and Literature at the University of Leeds and a Research MA in Caribbean Studies at the University of Warwick. While writing her doctorate, she trained as an ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) tutor and has had the privilege of working with Londoners from all over the world. One of Maria's interests as an early-career academic is public and community engagement; her own experiences in education have motivated her to work for inclusion in the academy. She has designed and managed academic projects that involved knowledge exchange activities with London's homeless and badly-housed.

The story with her is that she fell off a cliff near the lighthouse when she was trying to find her way out of the fog. The cause of her return is believed to be the boarding up of the landward side of the lighthouse's beacon, due to neighbor complaints that the light bothered them.

Exquisite Amethyst Star of David pendant with clarity. This healing crystal pendant is a Vogel design Star of David that features the sacred geometry of the tetrahedron meticulously hand cut by master lapidary artist, Drew Tousley.
Measures 1" high and 0.5" deep. This healing crystal is a medium-sized Vogel design Star of David pendant.
With each healing crystal pendant from Crystal Light and Sound, you'll receive:
- Signed authentication from the lapidary artist
- Directions on how to clear and program your new healing crystal.
The Vogel design Star of David combines the magical properties of the ancient symbol with the unique properties of crystal healing properties of quartz. The cut is unique in that the faceting of the quartz creates the six sided star. By placing an upright triangle on the face of the stone and an inverted triangle on the opposite side of the stone an energetic flow is established.
Marcel Vogel discovered that quartz crystal is an excellent vehicle for cohering and amplifying energies and intentions making this an amazing tool for clearing the auric field. Learn more about Marcel Vogel, Vogel cut crystals and Vogel design cut crystals.
Amethyst is a calming and meditative healing crystal stone that works to enhance intuition and psychic powers. It promotes peace, happiness and contentment and is an excellent protection stone against psychic attack, especially when used during spiritual work. Amethyst is thought to be the "All Healing" stone. It's especially beneficial in the healing of not just people but plants and animals and is especially effective in healing addictions and destructive compulsive behavior.
Available in sizes small (.75"), medium (1"), large (1.25") and extra large (1.5") set in sterling silver, 14K or 18K gold. Pendants can be cut from a variety of stones such as amethyst, aquamarine, citrine, clear quartz, rutilated quartz, dichroic, rose quartz, smoky, Siberian green and blue, tiger eye. Please ask us about other healing stones; if a particular stone is available, it can often be cut into a Vogel design Star of David.
This product was handcrafted in the USA.
Please Note: Chain not included.
Each crystal is carefully inspected for quality. We check each point and facet for chips and scratches, we clear old programming and polish it to perfection. We will not accept any returns with damage unless the packaging was severely damaged in shipping. Should that occur, please contact us immediately or do not accept the box.
Sizing is approximate. As with all hand-made items, the final size may be a touch larger or smaller than as described. True lapidary artists will follow the natural structure of the crystal which may result in slightly different final sizing.
While we take great care in photographing our crystal items, photographs don't always accurately show the true color of a particular stone. The colors shown may be slightly deeper or lighter than presented. In most case, the colors and saturation are accurate.

I was just wondering if this summer will be a repeat of 1992 because I heard that 2019 will be a grand solar minimum. Solar minimums cool the entire globe.
are people really fighting in the comments of the the old farmer's almanac website? for real, y'all? relax.
I have just noted that You have lumped all the cities into one area for S..Ont,..WRONG!!,.My weather is nothing like Toronto,.Perry Sound etc,.I live in Algoma Mills which is in-between Sudbury & Sault Ste Mare,Which
is in NORTHERN Ont,.near Elliot Lake,.& even their weather is different,...The weather here is completely different then what you are stating,..Plz get your facts straight & direct the info to the proper areas,.!!..
Wow!!!!! Why are people fighting on here??? It's just a website that forecast the weather for the year, not Facebook! Not big deal they lumped you in with a another region. It's simple and minor mistake.
Why?? are you stating the weather for S.Ontario the same for N.Ontario???...Our weather is completely different then that of S.Ont,..
Travel the world a little folks. Water is like gold in some parts with that goes food. Stop your bitching. Do like in the old days..." dip your finger in the well, shove it out the door see from which direction the wind is coming from" even sailors do this one. Think as to which direction warm,cold, wet or dry comes from per season and then dress up or dress down accordingly.
First time on this site and I thought I would read the comments . Wow . I can't believe how insulting people are to other people.
Truth be told , no one , yes I said no one , can predict the weather . It is the only job out there where the predictions can be wrong 98 % of the time and those predicting it still keep their jobs. In any other profession ,if that many mistakes were made, they would be fired long ago.
The best solution is to step out your door. If it is windy and cool put on a jacket , if it is stinky hot and humid , shorts and tee shirt works, if it snowing , sleeting , freezing rain .....dress accordingly and drive accordingly.
Oh, and stay away from nasty people . They deserve to spend their time with themselves. .

Three iconic NZ brands are up for sale according to Australian business journalists. They report that Tegel, Griffins and Hoyts are all being prepared for the sale process.
Australian private equity firm Pacific Equity Partners has denied media speculation it is planning to put New Zealand-based biscuits and snack food group Griffin's Foods on the block.
The Australian Financial Review reported last week that PEP was preparing to sell poultry producer Tegel, followed by Griffin's, and was reviving the sales process for cinema chain Hoyts.
The paper said UBS was a strong contender to advise PEP on Griffin's, which it thought to be valued at around A$500 million (NZ$653.3m).
A PEP spokesman denied Griffin's was next in line for sale, but confirmed Greenhill Caliburn and Morgan Stanley had been given the mandate to manage a strategic review of Tegel, including a trade sale.
Tegel is New Zealand's best-known supplier of fresh and frozen chicken products with about 52 per cent market share. PEP purchased Tegel from Heinz in 2005 for between $250m and $300m as part of a big spendup in this country.
Tegel is profitable, reporting a net profit of $29.5m in the year to April 2009, but carries significant debt.
Among those said to be sniffing around the poultry company are Thailand's Charoen Pokphand Foods, China's Bright Food which has just bought into Synlait, China Yurun Food Group and Japan's Nippon Meat.
Meanwhile, Griffin's is tracking well, with its holding company reporting a turnaround pre-tax profit of $18.7m for the year ending December, compared to a $6.7m loss the previous year.


text: Around 2002 I started out with one camera, one lens & a vision to do only what I was passionate about every day. "Do what you love & you'll never work a day in your life" was my mantra.

That lifted me from my bed many many mornings when all I wanted to do was rest after three or four hours sleep. When people around me doubted me & my passion, when well intend people sent me job advisements, when no one could see what I could see, I kept going, I kept following the momentum. I turned up and gave my very best. My very best. A couple of times I decided to give up, but momentum is momentum and reminded of my own advise to my Daughter, "At low points moments in you're life, there will be signs that you are on the right road, look for them, they are always there. Momentum and Expectation are not the same. Always go with Momentum", and in a very short time I'd see the path again. That one camera got upgraded and a second added. Between them they have over seven hundred thousand photos clocked up on them today and have travelled to hundreds of locations in Ireland and beyond. Now I haven't made millions, and my house isn't decked in gold & diamonds but 15 years later I'm as passionate about connecting with people though photography as I was on day one. At the end of another days work, as I sit here in Cariveo on the cost of Portugal, the sun shining and a gentle breeze keeping me at just the perfect temperature, I'm reminded how truly blessed I am, how things are always working out even when sometimes it can feel like the opposite seems to be the case. Reading my emails I discover I've received confirmation of my second award for 2017. I am filled with gratitude for getting to do what I love, every day. Grateful for the thousands of people I have met and in the main smiled with over the past 15 years. On this journey I have had the honour of taking the first photo in someone's life, the last photo in another's and many very special moments in between, witnessing the human spirit on all levels. Sometimes being so captured by whats happening in front of me, I've had to put the camera down, the same camera that put me in front of the experience. It is a peculiar relationship on occasion. Sometimes I do feel like a passenger in some greater orchestral masterpiece of life where some genius creator has, for some unknown reason, chosen me to play a part with or without my camera. I grateful for those who have been so supportive, who have been the buoyancy aids in my career journey and my life. I am so excited for what lies ahead and what to reassure anyone who has a dream, keep dreaming, keep showing up, even when everyone else is resting or partying, or telling you you're crazy, keep going. Keep your dream at the center of your radar, always. Be patient. D

Built For This.
A funny thing happened this morning. The sun came up.
After CardNation was power-bombed through a table from off of the top rope by the NCAA. After being drug through the mud. After being spit on by local media, and local idiots with platforms. And after Louisville Twitter erupted. The sun came up, the world did not end, the sky is still intact. Life. Went. On.
NCAA Announces Infractions Against UofL Basketball
After waiting and wondering for 600 plus days, the UofL basketball team finally learned their fates today as the NCAA handed down their ruling.
Things are still pretty unclear and we will tune into the scheduled presser at 12:30 which will have Pitino, Tom Jurich, and President Postel on hand. Until then we have posted the infractions below:
- Public reprimand and censure for the university.
- Four years of probation from June 15, 2017, through June 14, 2021.
- A suspension from the first five ACC games of the 2017-18 season for the head coach. During the suspension, the head coach may not be present in the arena where the games are played and have no contact with the student-athletes or members of his coaching staff. The head coach also may not participate in any activities including, but not limited to, team travel, practice, video study and team meetings.
- A 10-year show-cause period for the former operations director from June 15, 2017, through June 14, 2027. During that period, any NCAA member school employing the former coach must restrict him from holding any athletically related duties and from having any contact with prospects and their families.
- A one-year show-cause order for the former program assistant from June 15, 2017, through June 14, 2018. During that period, any NCAA member school employing him can schedule an appearance before a panel of the COI to determine whether he should be subject to show-cause provisions.
- A vacation of basketball records in which student-athletes competed while ineligible from December 2010 to July 2014. The university will provide a written report containing the games impacted to the NCAA media coordination and statistics staff within 45 days of the public decision release.
- A reduction in men's basketball scholarships by two during the 2016-17 year (self-imposed by the university). Additionally, the university must reduce men's basketball scholarships by four over the probation period. The university may take the reductions during any year of that period.
- A prohibition of men's basketball coaching travel during the April 2016 recruiting period, which resulted in a reduction of men's basketball recruiting opportunities by 30 (self-imposed by the university).
- A reduction of recruiting travel during the July 2016 recruiting period by six days (self-imposed by the university).
- A reduction in the number of men's basketball official visits to a total of 10 during the 2015-16 year. Additionally, the university will have no more than a total of 16 visits during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 years (self-imposed by the university).
- During the probation period, men's basketball prospects on unofficial visits may not stay overnight in any campus dorms or school-owned property.
- A disassociation of the former operations director (self-imposed by the university). The public decision describes the details of his disassociation.
- A $5,000 fine (self-imposed by the university). The university must also return to the NCAA the money received through conference revenue sharing for its appearances in the 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championships. Future revenue distributions that are scheduled to be provided to the university from those tournaments also must be withheld by the conference and forfeited to the NCAA.
- A postseason ban for the men's basketball team for the 2015-16 season (self-imposed by the university).
We will know more within the hour.
Cards & Purdue Will Play In 2017 ACC/B1G Challenge
The 2017 ACC/Big Ten Challenge is set for the upcoming season and we will see the Cards face the Purdue Boilermakers for the second consecutive season. The Cards are currently 2-1 in the challenge with victories over Ohio State in 2014 and Purdue in 2016. Their lone loss came at the hands of Michigan State in East Lansing back in 2015.
It seems the committee was not bothered by the fact that Louisville and Purdue faced each other in last year's challenge. The Cards prevailed 71-64 behind 11 points from both Mangok Mathiang and Ray Spalding. Purdue was led by big man Caleb Swanigan with 14 points. Swanigan opted for the NBA Draft after the season.
While most of us wanted a meeting with either Michigan or Maryland, we admit the Purdue match-up should be a good one. GO CARDS, BEAT PURDUE!!!!
Cards And Cats Basketball Date Is Set!!!
While most people are buzzing about the upcoming Super Regional between the Cards and Cats, we now know the game date for the annual basketball game. It was announced today the Cards and Cats will do battle in Lexington on Friday, yes Friday, December 29th which will leave the weekend open for one fan-base to celebrate while the other sulks.
We have all grew accustomed to the game being on a Saturday but the last match-up took place on a Wednesday and saw the Cards prevail with a 73-70 win. It was their first win since the 2012-2013 season. Kentucky currently holds a 34-16 advantage in the series. CBS will carry coverage of the game, the tip-off time has yet to be announced.
Should be a good game and will kick off trash talk for 2018 in grand fashion.
Brian Bowen Commits To Louisville
Well that escalated quickly!!!! Days after an official visit to Louisville's campus it has been announced that Brian Bowen, a Small Forward out of La Lumiere School in Saginaw, Michigan is officially a Louisville Cardinal!!!!
Bowen is a 5 star player and was also a McDonald's All-American this year. He is ranked the 13th best player in the ESPN100 and chooses the Cards over such schools as Arizona, Michigan State, and Texas to name a few. Bowen was thought to be Michigan State bound but with the return of Miles Bridges that commitment became a bit uncertain.
His addition bolsters an already big recruiting class as Bowen joins the likes of other ESPN100 signees Malik Williams, Darius Perry, and Jordan Nwora. Add Lance Thomas and this completes a dynamic class. Bowen will now compete with V.J. King and Dewayne Sutton for playing time at the 3 spot.
Louisville is projected to be a top 10 team going into next season. With this addition one could argue they are now amongst the top 5. Kudos to the Louisville staff for getting this done. We here at CSZ welcome Brian to the Ville.
Cards Could Potentially Add 5 Star Bowen
It was discovered on Tuesday evening that Louisville hosted 5 Star SF Brian Bowen on a campus visit. Bowen, a McDonald's All-American, was thought by many to be a solid Michigan State lean but after the return of Miles Bridges who opted to not enter the NBA draft deadline, it appears he is still searching for a school to land his services.
Louisville would join a list of schools trying to sign Bowen. So far he holds offers from such schools as Arizona, Michigan State, NC State, Texas, and UCLA just to name a few. The SF position at Louisville is pretty stacked with the return of Deng Adel and V.J. King although Pitino has hinted he will primarily use Adel as a shooting guard. Add Dwayne Sutton to the mix and you have some nice depth at the 3 spot.
We here at CSZ will be keeping a close eye on this story. Louisville is already a projected top 10 team next season and this would do nothing but bolster that claim. "Crootin" remains a funny business. …
The Story Of A Champion
Long before he came to Louisville, he was a champion. Before his first college pass was an interception against Murray State on Sept. 1, 2011 or his last run was a final nail in Miami's coffin on December 28th, 2013, he was a champion. Before he was Teddy 2 Gloves, Teddy Ice-water, Teddy Ballgame, TD Teddy, or whatever other name we derived for him, his first name was champion. You have heard the saying, "not all heroes wear capes". In this case not all champions have rings to prove it.
The Overreaction Of Louisville Twitter
It sucks…….we know. You know, I know, CardNation knows.
While we all wished Donovan Mitchell luck and will cheer like hell when his name is called next month in the NBA draft, part of us now only have to wonder what could have been had he returned. But he isn't and all we have is great memories and insane one handed dunk highlights.
Jay Henderson To Transfer
Another week, another transfer. Following in the footsteps of Tyler Sharpe and Matz Stockman we now learn that walk-on Jay Henderson also intends to transfer from the Louisville Men's basketball team. Henderson originally came to Louisville after transferring from St. John's.
Jay saw the floor sparingly only playing 2.1 minutes per game. However, he was constantly cheering on his teammates and still holds the title for the most glorious head of hair on the team. We here at CSZ wish him the best wherever he lands. Always a Card!
Akeem Hayes Commits To Cards
Louisville Football received a commitment from 5'10 WR Akeem Hayes on Thursday night.
Hayes, from Hollywood Florida's Blanche Ely High School picked Louisville over the likes of Oregon, NC State, Oregon State, Marshall, and Wake Forest. He is a composite 3 star athlete from the same city that produced Lamar Jackson.
The Cards continue to add talent to their 2018 recruiting class. We here at CSZ welcome Akeem to the Ville!!!
Shaq Wiggins Transfers To Tennessee
Shaq Wiggins announced via Twitter that he will be transferring to Tennessee to continue his playing career. Shaq came to Louisville along with Josh Harvey-Clemons in 2014 after leaving Georgia.
Shaq was a productive cornerback for Louisville but battled injuries the past few seasons and played sparingly. Wiggins was known as a vocal teammate for the Cards and provided a lot of charisma to the locker room. We here at CSZ wish him the best as he takes his talent to Rocky Top
Tyler Sharpe Will Transfer
Freshman walk-on and former Bullitt East star Tyler Sharpe intends to transfer. He appeared in only 7 games this season scoring only 2 points.
With a loaded class coming that features Darius Perry and Jordan Nwora and the addition of Dwayne Sutton it would seem Sharpe would find playing time to be scarce next season. We here at CSZ wish Tyler the best wherever he lands. Always a Card!!
Cards Land Oklahoma CB Transfer
The University of Louisville Football team landed a transfer this morning. Former Oklahoma defensive Back P.J. Mbanasor ( last name pronounced em-BAN-uh-sore) announced he would be joining the Cards via Twitter.
Mbanasor was a 4 star recruit out of high school. He played in 10 games with the Sooners in 2015 but redshirted the entire 2016 season. We here at CSZ welcome PJ to the VILLE!!!
UCONN Transfer Picks Louisville
Steven Enoch has confirmed reports that he will transfer to Louisville to continue his playing career. At 6'11 Enoch will be counted on to help at the 4 or 5 spot for the Cards. He will be forced to sit under NCAA rules next season but will then have two years of eligibility remaining.
A former 4 star prospect out of high school, Enoch averaged 3.4 points and 2.3 rebounds with the Huskies last season. He typically saw 12 minutes of play per game. We here at Cardinal Sports Zone welcome Steven to the Ville!!!!
Alphonso Carter Announces Transfer
Cardinal cornerback Alphonso Carter announced via Twitter that he was released from the team after meeting with Coach Bobby Petrino and will be transferring to another school to continue his eligibility. Carter was suspended indefinitely last fall after he was pulled over by LMPD and there was a loaded gun found in the car. Although he was facing felony gun possession, he was eventually charged with misdemeanor gun charges to which he plead guilty to.
Carter, 6'3 corner who originally transferred from Tennessee to Louisville has already earned his Bachelor's degree and will be eligible to play immediately in the fall of 2017. Carter is the second cornerback to transfer in the past few weeks as Shaq Wiggins also announced he will be leaving UofL. We here at CSZ wish Alphonso good luck wherever he winds up playing next season.
Welcome Back NCAA Tournament
The most exciting part of this news is that the city is on display nationally. Congrats to the city of Louisville.
BucketHatism: Spring Game
ALL RISE!!! Court is now in session. The honorable Bucket Hat King LJ tha Fiasco presiding. Please be seated and come to order"
Please be seated. Saturday afternoon marked the beginning of the long 4 1/2 month wait for tailgating, horrible football taeks, bold ACC predictions, and CARDS-FIRST-DOWN chants (more on this later). Sure the baseball team is rolling through Spring with it's eyes set on Omaha. The NBA Playoffs also known as "when the pros actually try" has begun but lets not act like the dead period is not quickly approaching. So if you didn't make it out to the Spring Game I would suggest you invest in YouTube and catch some old games. Fact of the matter is, the Spring Game is just a nice fix until September.
BucketHatism: Spring Practice
"ALL RISE!!! Court is now in session. The honorable Bucket Hat King LJ tha Fiasco presiding. Please be seated and come to order"
Please be seated, the BHK is back off his weekend bender of wings, basketball and busted brackets to announce that the joy that is football is back for the month of April. Today Bobby Petrino held his presser to give us all a glimpse of what to expect and what the team will be working on. I know I am not the only Card fan that still has a sour taste in my mouth from how last season ended. We went from the highs of curb stomping FSU, receiving a visit from College Gameday, and a prime-time game in Death Valley to seeing Lamar nearly decapitated in Houston, watching the Governor's Cup get kidnapped, and watching LSU do the cha-cha slide in our backfield for 4 quarters………but I digress.
The thing is, as young as this team was last year they are back and more experienced. More importantly they are pissed off at how they ended the season after being 9-1 on the verge of the playoffs. Lamar winning the Heisman salvaged the disappointing ending but you have to think the team is still very much hungry for redemption. Here some things, and players that the BHK is interested to see in the Spring game.
BucketHatism: 2017 Football Schedule
"ALL RISE!!! Court is now in session. The honorable Bucket Hat King LJ tha Fiasco presiding. Please be seated and come to order"
FOLKS!!! I have been approached by a few people needing an explanation for my recent hiatus from Twitter. Basically I spend a lot of time on the damn thing and I have to go into detox once a year only to relapse again. But look at the bright side, each time this happens a bunch of crazy stuff happens and I am left without a place to vent or celebrate. So I usually end up telling my fiance or anyone who will listen that we got a new recruit, B-Dubs has a secret code for free wings, and blue cheese is straight ass-water.
BucketHatology: Purdue
The BHK has decided to help fund his wedding by teaching classes at an unnamed and un-accredited University here in Louisville. I would tell you the University and location but I am no snitch, unlike graduates from IU. So after some of the basketball games I will be providing lecture notes and taking shots at Tom Crean because I can and he is too busy smooching his son to read this anyway.

THE AIRCRAFT NUCLEAR PROPULSION PROGRAM AND GENERAL REACTOR TECHNOLOGY QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT for Period Ending November 30, 1949 (ORNL-0528)
A. M. Weinberg, Program Director Report
Edited by C.B. Ellis
November 30, 1949
Reactor Design. Exploratory studies are underway on some possible new cycles not previously considered for aircraft reactors. New mathematical methods are also being investigated for analysis of reactor cores having intricate internal geometry.
Shielding. Possible designs are being studied for a new testing facility to measure attenuations up to lo*. This should probably be in some 'form of a critical assembly which wi l l operate at power levels up to 10 kw.
On the lid tank, bulk shielding measurements of iron and water are now underway.* It is hoped to begin two-shift operation shortly.
Theoretical analysis is in progress on (a) thick shields composed of a mixture of pure scatterers; (b) neutron penetration of a water shield, using Monte Carlo techniques, and (c) neutron streaming in ducted geometries.**
A new instrument for measuring fast neutron flux is being developed. This consists of a thin Pd film fired on a ceramic core. The proton recoils from the neutrons bombard the Pdinsuch a way as to change the electrical resistance of the film.
The NEPA neutron spectrometer, based on counting proton recoils from a radiator, is now installed a t ORNL and is being calibrated.*
In the work on shielding materials, combinations of Pb, H2O, and B or B4C are being studied, and irradiation tests on Boral have been made. The tensile strength of the latter appears to increase under irradiation. Also, a new plastic has been developed which contains 50% boron by volume. It may be made into strong, flexible sheets, mechanically similar to leather, which can be easily glued onto metal surfaces for thermal neutron shielding. Work on improved concretes for shielding also continues.
Heat Transfer. The summary of atomic energy heat transfer work, ORNL 156, has been broughtupto date and abridged for declassification. A new empirical relation has been developed for heat transfer in annuli which will hold for all cases where the liquid wets the walls-including liquid metals. It has phenomenon of "polarized turbulence"' does not exist. The thermal conductivity and heat capacity of molten NaOH have been measured a t 900" F.
Equipment is being designed for work onhandling methods and heat transfer A properties for liquid metals at aircraft reactor temperatures.

(only £1 for UK orders under £6) This book commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the Pentecostal Movement in Great Britain & Ireland, 1907-2007. Herein is the story of the Men, the Movement, the Message and the Miracles that became known as the Pentecostal Movement. These testimonies are timeless, powerful and stirring but sadly most of these pioneers have long disappeared from the sight and remembrance of the church. This is a very simple attempt to stir up the mind of the church to remember these men and women who so impacted families, cities and nations by a life of consecrated prayer, crowned and sealed with Holy Ghost power. Amongst them you will find pastors, teachers, evangelists, prophets and apostles. Although all these pioneers were born in Britain & Ireland yet their ministries deeply affected the world. Their influence and power was amazingly greater than their birth, upbringing, number, education or financial resources. These testimonies will deeply inspire another generation to go and do likewise. Read of a true healing revival that exalted the Person of Jesus Christ, honoured His shed Blood, which raised up those who walked in the light of His written Word which produced a life of holiness, uprightness and humility.

What Working with a Financial Advisor Should Be Like
It might feel strange letting someone else poke into your personal financial affairs, but working with a financial advisor could turn out to be the way you'll finally get to the place you want to be. After the initial "newness" of working with one, here's what it should feel like when working with a good financial advisor.
You shouldn't feel shy or embarrassed about sharing your financials with a professional.
Your financial world might be a mess, there might be no sense of direction to it, or your financial status might simply be so closely tied to emotional issues that you can't seem to move ahead in any direction at all.
But whatever reason you might have for feeling shy about letting someone into your financial life, it's probably going to be worth your while to get over it. You should know that your financial advisor will probably turn out to be your most trusted ally when it comes to achieving your goals and realizing your dreams.
Financial advisors are for giving advice, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be good listeners, too.
The funny thing about financial plans is that even though it might seem on the surface like it's all about numbers, it's not, really.
The right plan for you, whether you're saving for a home, paying off debt, navigating the world of investing, or smartly handling an inheritance, depends on your personality and many other "soft" factors that have very little to do with numbers.
Working with a good financial advisor means you have someone who listens carefully to your feelings about money, saving, investing, and to your financial goals and dreams. He or she shouldn't put you in a place where you feel uncomfortable with your financial plan.
All your financial moves should feel right- and if they don't, you should feel comfortable asking questions so you understand why those choices were made. Financial advising requires people skills as much as it does financial savvy, so make sure the person you choose to guide your decisions is someone you feel absolutely comfortable with at all times.
You should never feel as if you were being pitched to.
Some financial advisors act more like salespeople than advisors. That may be because they are commission-based, meaning they make their money when they can successfully steer you and other clients towards specific products in which they have a stake.
There should never be a sales-ey quality to your conversations with a personal financial advisor, so let that be a warning.
Above all, you should feel trust when you work with your financial advisor. You're trusting him or her with your future, so check references, look for expertise, and above all, find someone with whom you can comfortably and clearly communicate.

[IMGCAP(1)]Many accounting firms go through ups and downs with their marketing and business development efforts. The smaller the firm, the more of a roller coaster ride this can feel like. While we believe this should be a consistent effort, the reality of running a business can sometimes get in the way. Whether you own a budding new accounting firm or you are now into multiple generations of owners, here are six reasons to reinvest in marketing.
1. Client Demographics are shifting. Your clients are aging. Along with that comes a transition in owners. Just as many accounting firms are facing succession challenges, so, too, will your clients. You will inevitably face some client attrition, even if you have a very proactive effort to build relationships with the successors. You will need new clients to replace those that you lose just to maintain the status quo.
2. Keep good talent. You need great people to ensure your firm's longevity and success. It's difficult to promote and keep people engaged and challenged in their work if you aren't growing. New clients, new opportunities and an attractive firm are needed to give them a reason to stay with the firm and, for those considering partnership, to buy in one day.
3. Succession. Whether you want to transition your business internally or sell the business, your succession plan is heavily dependent on the value of the business. Firms that are growing and have a solid brand image and awareness in the marketplace are significantly more attractive and valuable.
4. Your competition is marketing and selling to your clients and prospects. We no longer live in the day where the phone just rings. Yes, referrals are still a big part of where firms get their business, but that still requires effort. Accounting firms today are proactive about their growth and are actively out there marketing and selling. If you aren't out there, you will miss a lot of opportunities.
5. Client retention. Growth means being able to hire more, and invest in more training , education and resources. It can often also mean offering additional services. All of this can lead to better client retention. It can also help secure your clients. As clients grow, you should be able to grow with them. At a bare minimum, your growth is defense for all your competition already marketing to them.
6. You make more money. If you are still not convinced to reinvest, I am hoping this does it. As your company grows, you make more money. Yes, there is an upfront cost and it doesn't happen over night, but the long-term benefits pay off—hence the reference to investing.
Regardless of your size, all accounting firms can afford to invest in marketing and business development. You will be surprised how far a small investment in regular marketing and business development activities can take you.

PASSAIC COUNTY, N.J. – The Passaic County Improvement Authority recently announced the Hawthorne, Ringwood, Wayne and West Milford school districts utilized the Passaic County Banc Program to pay for school improvements.
The program offers competitive interest rates to help municipalities and school districts save money on finance fees.
"Through our conservative budgeting practices, Passaic County has achieved the highest bond rating in our history," said Freeholder Director TJ Best. "We are able to use our high credit rating to get reduced interest rates for our municipalities and school districts, which helps them save money."
Both Hawthorne and West Milford Township utilized the program for the first time to pay for equipment necessary for school operations. Hawthorne needed quick financing to install new boilers while school is closed for summer. West Milford purchased four new 25-passenger school buses.
Ringwood and Wayne, already familiar with the benefits of the program, utilized it again this year. Ringwood schools purchased a new school bus, replacing a 2005 bus that is no longer operational. Wayne also used the program to acquire buses, as well as furniture, ADA chair lifts, technology equipment and athletic equipment.
The Passaic County Banc Program, backed by the guarantee of Passaic County, is a lease-purchase program for government entities designed to save tax dollars. It is an alternative method of paying for capital equipment usually financed at taxable rates or purchased through a town or school district budget. Individual leases are placed with US Bank Corp.
"The Passaic County Banc Program is growing and it's great to see new entities taking advantage of the program," said Passaic County Improvement Authority Chairman Dennis Marco. "We are also proud of our quick turnaround, most of these fundings were closed within 2 weeks."
The program still is accepting applicants. Application forms can be found here . For more information on the program, please contact the Passaic County Improvement Authority at (973) 881-4550.

Kate Osamor MP today attended an event hosted by Operation Black Vote to celebrate the record number of BME MPs elected to parliament in May 2015.
The event included short speeches by the Home Secretary and other guests, including newly elected MPs and leading figures from the BME community, to celebrate the progress that has been made but also discuss how to continue building on this historic achievement.
41 BME MPs were elected in May 2015 – up by over 50% since the last election. However, BME MPs still make up only 6.3% of the House of Commons.
Operation Black Vote was established in July 1996. It seeks to inspire BME communities to engage with our public institutions in order to address the persistent race inequalities in our society.
Speaking on the subject, Kate says:
"Whilst I welcome the fact that the May 2015 election saw a record number of BME MPs elected, it is still clear that we have a long way to go. We make up 6.3 per cent of the House of Commons, compared to 14 per cent of the population at large. In contrast, BME communities remain overrepresented in terms of unemployment, low pay and higher levels of poverty.
Operation Black Vote works in terms of community engagement as well as in terms of representation. I fully support this. BME communities are historically underrepresented in democratic election processes. Increasing grassroots engagement in politics empowers individuals, politically educates them and is essential if we are to make politics truly accessible.
We may have more BME MPs than ever before in parliament but the fact remains that the politics of austerity, including cuts to welfare, social housing and ESOL, is having a disproportionate impact on BME communities, especially BME women. This is something I have sought to highlight since I was elected an MP in May".

Free Gun Locks Passed Out to Increase Firearm Safety
Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- The National Shooting Sports Foundation and Senator Lindsey Graham teamed up with local law enforcement on Tuesday to talk about firearm safety and hand out free gun locks. THE NSSF says accidents involving guns have gone down 22% in the past 15 years and the higher distribution and use of locks play a part in those figures. Users have to unload their guns in order to use the locks, and officials say this is especially important because simply hiding a weapon isn't enough. "How would you feel if a child found a loaded weapon in your home and hurt themselves or killed another child? You'd feel terrible," said Senator Graham. "There's an alternative to that, everything is a balance. So if the police officers who use guns as a living do this, we should all follow their lead in my opinion." The Columbia Police Department and Richland County Sheriff's Office will continue to pass out the free locks, which can be picked up at either office.

Public Speaking 2017
Public Speaking 2017

Without communication skills, making your way forward in the world would indeed be difficult. Communication is at the heart of all we do, and yet, speaking in public is one of the things people dread the most! Despite this, several students battled with their academic deadlines and overcame their fears to take part in our annual public speaking competition.

The College hosted its 7th Annual Public Speaking Awards on Tuesday 10th October. Students competed in six year divisions and the night culminated in the presentation of the John Hurley Shield for Public Speaking to those students who achieved first place in each division.

Adjudication was a difficult task given the high quality of all the speeches. As in other years, adjudication teams for each year level consisted of a College staff member and a community judge. This year we were fortunate to have six past students return to adjudicate –Lachlan Kadell, Alex Plummer, Sarah Kemp, Frank Lin, Tom Gilmore, Fransiska Bekti. Staff members given the difficult task of adjudication were Nicole Jones, Liam Lunney, Lauren Green, Chloe Kuwert, Sarah Wilkinson, Paul Earley and Anthony Murnane.

Well done to all our speakers and thank you to our large audience of parents, family members, staff and interested students. Special mention must go to Ellen Hawkins who has competed in every public speaking competition since her arrival at the College as a nervous Year 8 student. The skills developed by Ellen and, indeed, all the students competing, will hold them in good stead for their post school plans of University, TAFE and career.

Year 7: Liam Damons (1st), Zara Gavarra (2nd), Laura McKitrick (Highly Commended).

Primary Cluster Competition 2018
Primary Cluster Competition 2018

The Primary Cluster Competition is in its eighth year of operation. The program began at St Thomas More College in 2010 with just four primary schools. We all recognise the importance of sport and physical activity in the lives of young people and this competition provides young people the opportunity to mix and play sport with students from other schools. While we recognise the value of the sporting competition, it is also important to recognise the value of building relationships between the schools. The competition has been built on the shared understanding that the primary purpose of this competition is participation.

The Primary Cluster is part of the major practical assessment for the Year 11 Sport and Recreation students who are working towards their Certificate III in Sport and Recreation. Our students facilitate the event and complete tasks such as organising draws, creating tournament ladders, managing venues, refereeing and setting up/packing up venues. There are four sports at three different venues - OZTAG is held at Brittain Park, Soccer is held at the Griffith University Nathan Fields and Netball and Volleyball are held at St Thomas More College. This year there are 118 teams participating from 8 different primary schools, with 1106 participants altogether.

As with previous years there are two divisions in the competition:

Junior: Years - 3/4

Senior: Year - 5/6

While the philosophy behind the competition is about maximising participation there is also a winner at the end of the day. Our competition culminates with a day of finals and the awarding of trophies to the successful teams.

 Round 1: Friday 27th April

Round 2: Friday 4th May

Round 3: Friday 11th May

Round 4: Friday 25th May

Round 5: Friday 1st June

Round 6: Friday 8th June

Finals: Friday 15th June

How can SME's Operate More Like a Corporate Organization to Become More Efficient?
Practical tips by the panel to help you get organized from a planning, record keeping, marketing, leadership and organizational point of view
Solutions by the Panel of Experts
SMEs do not always organize things in terms of planning, management, bookkeeping etc. Running a business requires assistance and uses a system.
According to Andrew Christopher from RFBE Consulting, "The system any business enterprise needs is called Business Excellence, which is applied in 85 countries and guides businesses in the fundamentals of organizing and managing a business key principles and guidance on categories you need to understand and manage."
The uniform convention that a good business functions on includes 7-10 categories:
1. Leadership
2. Strategy and planning
3. Info and knowledge
4. People
5. Customers
6. Business and operational processes
7. Business and financial reserves
Shannon Bush brings to this case study her leadership perspective having worked in the corporate world and with many small to medium sized business owners.
According to Shannon, many business owners wear multiple hats and usually it is to do with cash flow. In which case Shannon says, "Understand the things that you really struggle to do & where you really have to hire an expert"
Shannon also suggests business owners get the right people to help them from the beginning or generally they will end up spending a lot more time and money 5 or 10 years down the line to go back and reset foundations.
Shannon reinforced that businesses document everything. This can be in a simple format using tools like videos. A systematic documentation will grow the business and improve efficiencies of the staff remarkably.
From an accounting and books perspective, Sonia Pilkington says, "Usually businesses delay things to quarterly and they put off entries like expenses, which can be a problem. Do it weekly or at least monthly. If you cannot do it yourself then hire someone. You will not know when someone owes you money and cash flow is the key to success of your business. Missing financial information will prevent you from taking steps in business."
To ensure proper bookkeeping, give your staff the tools to manage it and provide accounting information correctly.
Tell your staff to stick to 'business' and not get into 'busy-ness' They are two different things, where 'busyness' means the staff keeps itself busy with other things and would not pay attention to the business.
To avoid 'busy-ness' make sure they are accountable, give them tasks that train them, and tinge them. Guide them when they do not know what to do, teach them that they are valuable to you.
5 tips for business excellence by Andrew Christopher:
1. Seek to understand what the business is about (seek advice from experts)
2. Educate and secure your leadership commitment
3. Set base line or framework to understand where the business is going to be
4. Develop a plan and integrate it with you corporate strategy and driven with accountability
5. Engage your people and enable them with knowledge and skills to understand and apply system unleashing their potential.
5 Tips for better Efficiency by Shannon Bush
1. Have a plan
2. Keep it for 12 months ahead
3. Focus on 4 key areas: business/wealth growth, expertise growth and self-growth
4. Track your success and celebrate it
5. Take a time out from business to stay fresh and undivided since you may carry many hats
5 tips on book keeping by Sonja Pilkington
1. Do whatever you do consistently to have great bookkeeping
2. Embrace technology
3. Scan documents to keep electronic copies
4. Work smartly
5. Give the staff the right tools

Ben Tish, Chef Director of the Salt Yard Group, has early memories of cooking and eating with his Jewish grandmother.

SOURCE: Atrion Corporation
November 03, 2016 16:30 ET
ALLEN, TX--(Marketwired - November 03, 2016) - Atrion Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRI) today announced that for the third quarter of 2016 revenues totaled $37.8 million compared with $37.4 million for the same period in 2015. Operating income for the just-ended quarter was $11.0 million compared to $11.6 million in the same period of 2015. Net income for the third quarter was $7.6 million as compared to $7.8 million in last year's third quarter. On a diluted per share basis, earnings for the period decreased to $4.10 as compared to $4.19 for the same quarter of last year.
Commenting on the results for the third quarter compared to the same period of 2015, David Battat, President and CEO, said, "Despite continued international pricing pressures and the expiration of certain ophthalmic patents, revenues were up 1% compared to the same period last year. Fluid delivery and Ophthalmology both showed comparative gains of 5%, while Cardiovascular sales were down 5% compared to a particularly strong period in 2015 when they were up 14%." Mr. Battat continued, "Lower prices led to a 5% decline in operating income. However, net income and diluted earnings per share were each down 2%, due to a tax rate that was two percentage points lower than in the comparable 2015 quarter." Mr. Battat added, "With no repurchases of stock in the latest period, our cash and short and long term investments increased by $7.2 million to a total of $48.6 million."
