Clinicians Get Creative
Bronnie Lennox Thompson, Ph.D.
Note: This was a group activity, have a blank paper and pen ready if you would like to complete the activity.
Bio: I trained as an occupational therapist and graduated in 1984. Since then, I've continued study at postgraduate level and my papers have included business skills, ergonomics, mental health therapies, and psychology. I completed my Masters in Psychology in 1999 and started my Ph.D. in 2007. I have many passions but one of them is to help people experiencing chronic health problems learn to achieve their potential. I have worked in the field of chronic pain management, helping people develop self management skills for 16 years. Many of the skills are directly applicable to people with other health conditions.
My way of working: collaboratively- all people have limitations and vulnerabilities- as well as strengths and potential. I use a cognitive and behavioral approach- therapy isn't helpful unless there are visible changes! I don't use this approach exclusively because it is necessary to borrow at times from other approaches, but I encourage ongoing evaluation of everything that is put forward as "therapy".
I'm also an educator. I take this role very seriously- it is important to health care as research and clinical skill. I offer an active knowledge of the latest research, integrated with current clinical practice, and communicate with clinicians working directly with people experiencing chronic ill health. I'm a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery & Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Otago Christchurch Health Services. I also offer courses, training, and supervision for therapists working with people experiencing chronic ill health.

You'd think the world's largest rodent would be a little freakier than this, but actually, the South American capybara is the most adorable and hilarious-looking animal I've ever seen!
Yeah, to all of you sloth fans? Capybaras are here to complicate your life.
Capybaras don't mind giving rides to spider monkeys in need.
They even give birds a place to rest their wings.
(Don't worry. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.)
This capybara seems to be extremely ticklish!
And they're 100% herbivore - so that duck can rest easy.
Capybaras enjoy long naps on the beach.
And if they need a little grooming, they know exactly who to ask.
So what do you think about capybaras? Are you convinced?
And if not, what's YOUR favorite animal?

Enrollment of 70 Students and 11 volunteer Teachers were recorded in the first week
Michael Ogundele
Oyo State Coordinator, ERC
The inaugural edition of a free holiday coaching classes organized by the Oyo State branch of the Education Rights Campaign, ERC, for students transiting from SS2 to SS3 in secondary schools in Ibadan North Local government area of Ibadan entered into the second week on Monday, 14 August, 2017. This is after what can be described as an impressive first week of experimentation.
In the first week of its commencement, the free holiday coaching classes which started on Monday, 7 August, had an enrollment of no fewer than eleven volunteer teachers and seventy (70) students from six secondary schools situated within the Ibadan North local government area in Ibadan. The schools are Community Grammar School, Mokola which also is the venue for the free holiday coaching; St. Theresa College, I.M.G Grammar School; St. Louis Grammar School; Baptist Secondary School and Sacred Secondary School.
Remarkably, five of the volunteer teachers are academics in the University of Ibadan, while six of them are trained teachers in public secondary schools in the local government area.
A total number of five core subjects were taught in the first week. These subjects namely Mathematics, English Studies, Physics, Economics and Biology were handled by seven different volunteer teachers including Prof. Clement Kolawole, the current Head of Department, HOD, Teacher Education and former Dean of Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan. He is the second volunteer teacher for English Studies.
Subjects like Chemistry, Commerce, Account, Government and Literature in English which were not taught not in the first week have been added in the second week.
Aside the normal Monday to Friday academic activities, some extra-mural activities like career and counseling talks; drama and poetry are also scheduled as part of the activities to be undertaken between 11am to 1pm on Fridays. This is to create an avenue for students to showcase their abilities and potentials. It was in line with this that, Barrister Ola Adeosun, a human right lawyer and a strong supporter of the ERC, was invited on Friday 11 August to give students a talk on the topic: the rights of children under law and the task to ensure their enforcement.
So far the ERC free holiday coaching in Ibadan has been impressive with a potential for building of a united campaign of students, parents, teachers and the larger labour movement for adequate funding and democratic management of public education in the state. It is in a bid to achieve this, that a public symposium is being planned for the end of the four week programme.
To support this free holiday coaching financially or with materials you can call 08033914091 or send an email to email@example.com.

Current Roster
Current Roster
SK have been looking more like SKDC in some parts lately, and it is painful to see. C9 for the most part have been looking pretty good, and they will feel confident going into these two games. The maps are cobble and Mirage, which are two maps SK have had issues on lately. They lost a few times on cobble to Liquid and even got demolished by heroic on Mirage. I do think if SK play to their real level they can take both of these maps, but I don't think they will hit this level. Looking at the odds, with C9 up to around 2.3 odds on the sportsbooks, LOW on them could make sense for both maps.

For Immediate Release
Siemon brings its knowledge and expertise to Cisco Connect Kenya 2017
March 2017 - Siemon, a leading global network infrastructure specialist, is celebrating its participation at Cisco Connect Kenya 2017, which took place in Nairobi in early February. During this two-day event, visitors were able to find out how Siemon, a Cisco Solutions Provider, is helping organisations handle the vast quantities of data being accumulated by the Internet of Things (IoT) and leverage a secure, agile infrastructure to ensure maximum profitability.
Cisco Connect is a series of proprietary, in-country live and virtual events held throughout the emerging markets. Siemon was a Gold Sponsor of Cisco Connect Kenya 2017 and this event was the latest in a number of collaborations between the two organisations. Siemon was previously named one of the 20 Most Promising Cisco Solutions Providers, joining a number of world-class vendors that provide services in partnership with Cisco and demonstrate extensive business process knowledge, as well as in-depth integrated and innovative strategies. Siemon is also proud to be a partner within Cisco's Digital Building Solution where its ConvergeIT cabling solutions for intelligent buildings are unequivocally aligned with Cisco's initiative to support the convergence of low-voltage building systems onto a single IP network for significant savings and a better user experience.
'We are immensely proud of our close relationship with Cisco and all of our products are 100 per cent compatible with its equipment,' said Carl Siemon, Siemon's president and CEO. Companies chosen as Cisco Solutions Providers are those that stand out at the forefront of tackling the challenges of the networking market, and events such as Cisco Connect Kenya 2017 offer an excellent opportunity for us to talk directly to end users who are at the forefront of network infrastructure design and configuration across the country.'
Located on Cisco's stand, two Siemon VersaPOD® cabinets were fully populated with a range of Cisco's network switches and associated technology. VersaPOD addresses critical issues such as the need for increased equipment density, ease of installation, accessibility and thermal efficiency. Visitors were able to see how VersaPOD facilitates shared zero-U space between bayed cabinets that can be used for patching, power distribution and cable management. It also allows cabling to be moved into vertical patching fields to free up valuable horizontal mounting space inside the cabinet and enable higher active equipment density.
Also within the VersaPODs was a range of Siemon's innovative optical fibre and copper cable and connectivity solutions. The LightStack® ultra high-density plug and play fibre system has the capacity to house up to 144 LC or 864 MTP fibres within 1U and 576 LC or 3456 MTP fibres within 4U and supports 10, 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

I'm in a very sad mood today as yesterday I had to rush my gorgeous craft cat Timmy to the vets.
He was not even able to stand up he was soo weak and it came on so suddenly. After a barrage of tests last night and this morning it seems that he is hypo-glycemic, anemic, has funny kidneys and is jaubdice and also has fluid on his belly.
Sadly his sister Tigsy passed away two weeks ago from a rare condition called FIP, we where told at the time that Timmy would probably have picked it up from her and to be aware of any symptoms.
Timmy isn't doing very well at all and it is looking likely that it is FIP and he doesn't have any strength so the next 24 hours is crucial but the likely hood is that he will pass away as FIP is fatal. He is currently in Stroud vet hospital so waiting for hubby to come home and take me up there.
So very sad day indeed :0(
Also Libby came out from behind the sofa earlier and was limping on her front leg. I had a feel of it and it doesn't feel broken and she is hobbling around, probably has just sprained it as she is always jumping up and down on things. She was last seen cuddling up on my bed sound asleep after lots of cuddles.

Spillane cup 2014
Hutt Old Boys Marist retained the New Zealand Marist Spillane Cup title with a resolute defensive effort in today's final on home soil at the Hutt Recreation Ground against Christchurch Marist Albion.
HOBM turned sizzling attack seen in Saturday's 50-19 win over Auckland Marist to backs-to-the-wall defence to beat Marist Albion 30-7 in the final.
The Eagles held off wave after wave of Marist Albion attack inside their 22 for virtually the entire third quarter with HOBM holding a 23-7 lead. The visitors launched a 15-minute assault at their try line but their advances were kept in check, which won them the game.
Breaking out of their territory in the fourth quarter, returning first five-eighth and former Wairarapa-Bush and Heartland Championship leading points scorer Glenn Walters sliced through for a converted try and HOBM could begin celebrating their fifth straight Spillane Cup win.
Captain for the weekend and centre Ope Peleseuma said it was a great way to start the season for his side. "We're really happy with this win, it's a great way to start the season and was a good hit-out for the boys," he said.
Peleseuma credited his team's heart against Marist Albion. "A lot went into that match from both teams and they threw everything at us there. Our guys really had to D up there and we're pleased we got through with this win. We let in a couple of soft tries at the end in our first game against Auckland Marist and we talked about not letting the opposition in like that today."
Players to stand out for HOBM included blindside flanker James Wall, who scored the opening try of the final, both props Wayne Aquila and Otto Rasch, No. 8 Lise Soloa and first five-eighth and sharpshooter Glenn Walters.
Marist Albion, who lost players to injury during the final, including tighthead prop Kit Vertogen, which was an obvious blow, played a structured game and were particularly strong in the forwards. But, as they had done in their last-gasp 23-21 opening day win over Taranaki's Tukapa, repeatedly let themselves down with errors and with giving away too many penalties at the breakdown.
Walters made them pay, kicking two first quarter penalties, while a turnover and 80 metre breakout led directly to Wall scoring his try to give HOBM a 13-0 lead after 20 minutes.
Marist Albion struck back to score a converted try to their hooker Rowan O'Gorman, but Walters pushed them back ahead 16-7 with his third penalty.HOBM then scored the try of the final, a sweeping attacking raid up field presenting a try to fullback Tomasio Alosio, which Walters converted from the sideline to put the home side ahead 23-7.
Saturday's win over Auckland Marist was a different story for HOBM, who were fast out of the blocks, scoring two tries off lineouts and racing to a 17-0 lead. Auckland Marist replied, but HOBM then went on a 33-point scoring spree with replacement first five-eighth Chase Tiatia crossing for a second half hat-trick.
Marist Albion had beaten Tukapa on Saturday with almost the last play of the game, stealing a defensive lineout and spinning the ball out to the left wing for the try.Tukapa had led 11-0 early, Marist Albion had come back to lead 18-14 before Tukapa scored what they thought was the match winning try with several minutes to play.
Sunday's playoff for third and fourth between Auckland Marist and Tukapa was won by Auckland 48-22 but the run of play was much closer than that.
Auckland Marist led 17-10 early and then 38-15 at halftime. But Tukapa fought back in the third quarter, scoring next to close the gap to 38-22 and threatened to break free again in a hotly contested match.
However Auckland Marist re-grouped and scored late tries. For Auckland Marist, centre James Raea was their most penetrating back in both games, while Tukapa's No. 8 Mitchell Crosswell was tireless in both his team's matches.
Wellington's Marist St.Pat's, re-joining the competition after a year's absence, won the division 2 Ham Cumming final in beating Hastings Rugby and Sports 33-17.MSP had led 28-3 at one point.
MSP had beaten Palmerston North Marist on Saturday in a thriller, hooker Liu Taituave barging over for a converted try on fulltime to see them prevail 34-22. MSP had led 22-20 at halftime.
For video highlights of this match go here
Hastings had defeated HOBM's Senior 1 squad 38-5 on Saturday.
The tournament's dominant side was the Auckland Marist Colts. Auckland Marist displayed too much size and power for both MSP and Hamilton Marist in taking out the Colts Moran Cu section.
Auckland Marist eased past MSP 123-14 on Saturday and backed up with a 46-0 win over Hamilton Marist in Sunday morning's final.
The HOBM Senior 3 team defeated Wanganui Marist 83-10 in the final of the division 3 Brennan Cup, after leading 33-5 at halftime.
Tukapa won Saturday's Liston Cup President's competition, beating MSP 32-19 and HOBM 51-0 in their two matches.

View our show at Shawnigan Lake Secondary on March 3 2017
ReachOut performed live to webcast May 22nd 2015. The recording from the 2015 broadcast is below.
What is ReachOut?
The ReachOut Psychosis Concert Tour is an award-winning entertaining educational program that teaches youth how to identify symptoms of psychosis and where to obtain qualified medical help for this brain condition. Early medical treatment for psychosis has been shown to greatly improve outcomes for this brain condition affecting 3% of youth 16-25. We perform live across BC for assembly audiences of 300+ (free of charge) but are now available for viewing online, in either live or recorded format with an opportunity for follow-up questions and connection with the performers via Skype.
- Book ReachOut to perform live at your secondary school to an assembly
- Information on watching the recordings with Skype follow up
- What is ReachOut?
- Why is early psychosis intervention so important?
- Core concepts and vocabulary
- Additional study resources
Your class can watch the recording and schedule a live Skype call afterward with a performer.
ReachOut Psychosis Schizophrenia Awareness Day Presentation May23 2014 from Tailored Tech on Vimeo.
Your computer or tablet will need internet access and speakers to hear the sound, but that's it. If your school or class is planning to watch it together, we'd love to know about it for our stats/funder (email firstname.lastname@example.com), and if you register with us (at the above email), we can make ourselves available to take questions via twitter or Skype by appointment.
Why is early psychosis intervention so important?
Early medical treatment for psychosis has been shown to greatly improve outcomes for this brain condition affecting 3% of youth 16-25. All medical information presented has been vetted by our medical advisory committee made up of staff from BC Early Psychosis Intervention clinics. View list of Prescribed Learning Outcomes this program fulfills. ReachOut is developed and delivered by the BC Schizophrenia Society for HereToHelp. Funding for this project was provided by BC Mental Health and Addiction Services, an agency of PHSA.
Core Concepts / Vocabulary
Genetic vulnerability– the concept of inheriting a predisposition to an illness. More on genetic vulnerability
Signs and Symptoms – More information on signs and symptoms
Paranoia– when a person is very suspicious without cause, usually due to a problem with their brain.
Delusions– when a person has strongly held false ideas that they cannot be talked out of logically. Also due to a problem with their brain.
Hallucinations– when a person hears something that isn't really there (auditory hallucinations) or less frequently sees or feels something that isn't there.
Environmental Risk factors– when a person has a genetic vulnerability to an illness, there are other things that they might do or might be in their environment (high stress, street drugs, poor nutrition, infections) that make it more likely they will get that illness they have a genetic risk for. A similar example would be diabetes – it can run in your family, but you are at higher risk for getting it if you don't exercise and eat a lot of sweets.
What else can we do to enrich the material?
Your classes might wish to enrich their experience of learning about brain illness / mental illness by using one or more of the following tools. The fact sheets might provide a starting point for study of specific topics in psychosis. We have also posted post evidence-based educational tools for your students below, including an online self-test and other resources, which you can use beforehand or as follow up study on brain health.
Information Tools – Interactive
- MindCheck – Here is an excellent BC-based resource website where youth can learn about mental illness. Some classes explore this site together or assign students to prepare presentations on one aspect of the site.
- Map of the Mind Fields: Managing Adolescent Psychosis – Excellent science-based video from the knowledge network on youth and psychosis, including youth stories, suitable for viewing in class. 56 minutes.
Evidence-Based Fact Sheets On Psychosis.
For young people:
- What is psychosis
- What do I need to know if I have a sister or brother (or friend) with psychosis
- What family and friends need to know when a relative has been diagnosed with psychosis
- More detailed science-based information on what causes psychosis (the stress-vulnerability theory) with examples.
- Substance use and psychosis

Nelson Mandela once said, "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart."
I like to paraphrase Mr. Mandela's wise words and say, "If you speak just one word in another person's language, that word goes to his heart."
Many years ago, I moved to the colonial city of San Miguel De Allende to start a new life with my wife. There was a large expat community in the city, and I discovered that many of them struggled with speaking Spanish.
As a teacher of Spanish, I knew I could help these people. I began to notice how some of the expats in my town got along in Spanish. I studied what was working for them and, I must say, I heard some of the craziest Spanish. But they were able to get along just fine with simple "point-and-shoot Spanish." Having perfect, pretty, and proper Spanish wasn't their goal.
No one I met spoke the language perfectly. But they were able to make themselves understood and to connect with people. You can too. My many students are testament to this. Take Sonja, who the other day was telling me about a special event she was at recently. Sonja's maid invited her to celebrate her daughter's fourth birthday. She was honoured and before she went to the party, she brushed up on her birthday Spanish. With a few simple words Sonja was able to fit in perfectly. She sang songs, chatted with the birthday girl, and had a great experience.
I never get tired of hearing success stories like this.
Over the years many of my students have told me that they'd been afraid to try to learn Spanish—afraid that they wouldn't be able to learn a new language at their age, or that they'd offend someone by not speaking it properly.
In truth, you can get by with simple, easy-to-learn Spanish and people will appreciate the effort. It starts with every hello, please, and thank you. A big smile and a good hello will open more doors than you think. I've seen it thousands of times.
This is the secret that I discovered. Forget Perfection. Think Connection.

When America entered the war in 1917, it became clear that supply would be short, and unable to keep up with the drastically growing military. Because of this, starting in 1917, NCOs were only issued one set of two patches of rank. One for their Service Coat (Tunic) and one for their overcoat. Made from 100% wool on a wool background.

The Hissong Group and the Petit Le Mans!
Friday, September 30 - Sunday, October 2, 2011
Hissong employees joined staff from the Austin Hatcher Foundation at the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta to assist in hosting pediatric cancer patients and their families to a carefree day at the track. Families attending last year participated in the flag ceremony preceding the race, were treated to rides around the track, a chance to build and race their own pinewood derby cars, got a chance to see the race cars up close in the paddock and even met several of the drivers. It was an exciting day for those families who were able to join us as well as a rewarding day for those of us who were able to volunteer at this event.
AHF also hosted a Racer's Pro-Am Golf Tournament at the Chateau Elan in Brazelton, GA on Sunday, October 2, 2011 following the race weekend to help raise money for children with pediatric cancer. This event was open to the public and provided a way for fans to play golf with several of their favorite race car drivers from across the world. For more information on upcoming events or sponsorship levels available, go to www.hatcherfoundation.org/golf.
The Austin Hatcher Foundation is the official charity of several race series including the American Le Mans Series. As part of the Foundation's 2011 Campaign, the American Le Mans Series worked side by side with the Austin Hatcher Foundation by providing families with a much-needed escape from the everyday realities of pediatric cancer through a treatment concept known as diversionary therapy.

CC, UWI jointly hail 'King' Rex Nettleford
Glowing tributes were paid to the life and work of the late Professor Ralston Milton (Rex) Nettleford when the Cornwall College Old Boys' Association and the University of the West Indies, Western Jamaica Campus recently honoured him in film, dance, music and word at the Cornwall College Chapel in Montego Bay.
Against the backdrop of the theme, Vida! (Life) An Evening of Excellence , the tribute featured the showing of a documentary film on the life and work of the late Professor, titled Long Live the King, which was written and directed by filmmaker Lennie Little White, himself an old boy of Cornwall College.
In his opening remarks, Dr Cecil Aird, the chairman of the Cornwall College school board, said Cornwall College was very proud of Professor Nettleford and his exemplary achievements, noting that the institution was elated to have produced such an illustrious son, who became an iconic figure in academia and culture.
Dr Luz Longsworth, director of the University of the West Indies, Western Jamaica Campus, said it was more than a pleasure to collaborate with the Cornwall College Old Boys' Association to host the tribute to Professor Nettleford.
"Professor Nettleford was someone who touched many lives, especially those of young academics. For me, he was a mentor and I always looked forward to his little notes of encouragement," said Longsworth.
Longsworth said while the late professor rose to prominence through academia, he remained true and humbled by his achievements.
"Professor Nettleford never ceased to tell me where he came from ... and at every event that honoured him, he was always clear - the little boy from Bunkers Hill (Trelawny), and Cornwall College, so it was a no brainer to me that the University in Montego Bay would have to have a strong partnership with Cornwall College," she explained.
riveting performance
Flautist Audrey Cooke paid tribute with a single piece from his wind instrument, while Tamara Noel, a dancer with the National Dance Theatre Company, which was founded by Professor Nettleford, gave a riveting performance of the song titled Our Father, which was done in South Africa at the liberation of Nelson Mandela.
Long Live the King encapsulated the life of Rex Nettleford and his achievements as told by friends and relatives, including former Prime Ministers Edward Seaga, P. J. Patterson, his personal assistant Eula Morgan, Lennie Little-White, Lester Woolery (friend from Cornwall College) and Veronica Slater of Caribbean Magazine.
The film spoke glowingly of Professor Nettleford's penchant for excellence, his love and devotion for his mother, and an unencumbered lifestyle, which earned him the accolade, the quintessential Caribbean man.

how to earn money from blogging a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSgzv5jfOrQ" >website ideas 2014 Spending time together is very important, but equally, is time apart, everyone needs to recharge their batteries, get back in touch with themselves and spend some time apart to appreciate what they have when they are together. ' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VZFlTwtjxY makes the heart grow fonder', has a lot of truth to it. A key indicator of a wonderful partnership is that, when you are apart, you are thinking of your mate and can hardly wait to get back to them. You must have time apart, but there is so much love and joy to be gained by being with your life partner that time together should be your main focus.
Yes, I knew its Friday, but I also knew that I have to work during the weekend which all of us wish to be resting or be with our loved ones, but for me, I need the extra income to support my family and my kids education. In the fashion blog live, nothing is free! Holding two to three jobs just to stay afloat is nothing unusual.
Then, if how to blog shows I can reach that figure I will happily ask the creator if I can buy the re-sale rights. I may not get them right away, but when they do decide to offer them I simply re-check my affiliate sales to blog for travel sure I am still selling sufficient quantities to justify buying the rights at that time.
Comments – An increasingly popular method of driving more leads and traffic is with commenting on other people's blogs. Try finding blogs that are in your niche as well as those who might be one step outside that niche. For example, if you site's about how to build wealth, check out top blogs 2014 and leave comments related to saving for college. Most blog commenting sections will allow you to leave a link to your site. Make sure you take advantage of those.

This means professional communication, reliability, timeliness and of course a professional approach to requests, revisions, and feedback. good business blogs are providing a service to a customer and if they have a good experience they will recommend you to others.

Sustainability is woven into the fabric of our company and is a major part of our core values.
(PRWEB) October 30, 2014
Xanterra Parks & Resorts has received a LODGING Sustainability Award. The award was announced at the LODGING Magazine Green + Sustainability Conference + Expo.
A global hospitality company known for its environmental innovations in national and state parks, resorts and other destinations, Xanterra has been long recognized as a visionary in environmental innovation and for its commitment to a softer footprint in those beautiful places.
Sponsored by LODGING magazine, the LODGING Sustainability Awards "recognize the contribution of individuals, groups and corporate entities who exemplify the meaning of sustainability in the hotel industry. The winners stand as role models whose work embodies the industry's efforts to be strong advocates for Corporate Social Responsibility in doing what's best for both the environment and for the business while also appealing to the ecologically friendly traveler." Xanterra won the award in the "Special Entity of the Year" category.
"On behalf of the many people throughout our company who develop innovative ideas and work so hard to bring them to fruition, I would like to say that we are truly honored," said Catherine Greener, vice president of sustainability for Xanterra. "Sustainability is woven into the fabric of our company and is a major part of our core values."
Xanterra's vision of a softer footprint is based upon four pillars that support the execution of its operations:
- Use all resources efficiently and effectively
- Strive for zero waste
- Build and operate sustainably
- Provide guests with sustainable choices.
For more than 130 years, Xanterra has operated lodging, restaurants and other facilities in the country's national parks. The company believes it is its responsibility as a partner of the National Park Service to help protect and steward these beautiful places.
Climate change and its impacts are a significant priority for the NPS and Xanterra's guests. As host to nearly 20 million visitors annually, Xanterra has a unique opportunity to demonstrate responsible sustainable business and encourage guests to take these practices home to continue the journey.
With travel experiences on land, sea and rails, Xanterra's uses outside-the-box thinking to implement new and innovative programs.
Xanterra communicates these programs in a variety of ways including a series of printed posters with details about sustainability programs in each location and in some cases tips for how guests can be sustainable at home. These popular pieces have been beautifully designed, and guests are encouraged to take them home as souvenirs. They also provide a practical way to quickly and effectively educate guests about Xanterra's sustainability efforts.
Other examples of successful sustainability programs include:
- In 2004, Xanterra became one of the initial signatory members and the only concessioner to commit to the goals of the World Wildlife Fund Climate Savers program and most recently to sign the Climate Declaration.
- Xanterra was the first US hospitality company to track and report all natural resource usage and waste generation through a computerized system.
- The "Shrivelly Apple" program at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon has diverted more than 25,000 pounds of food waste from the landfill directly to the mules.
- Xanterra is a member of "Protect the Flows," a coalition of 900 businesses dedicated to promoting innovative water policy to ensure the survival of the Colorado River. Since 2000, Xanterra has saved 7.5 billion gallons of water, or more than a gallon of water for every single person on the planet.
- Zion Lodge received "Top Product of the Year, Environmental Leader Product & Project Awards" for developing a water-cooled system for walk-in refrigeration units in its Red Rock Grill kitchen. The system has resulted in approximately 1 million gallons of water saving annually.
- Grand Canyon Railway converted its steam locomotive from diesel fuel to 100 percent recycled waste vegetable oil from Grand Canyon restaurants to power its steam locomotives. Additionally, rain water and snow melt are harvested for reuse in steam operations.
- Xanterra's four golf course operations have achieved Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary certification.
Known for its "Legendary Hospitality with a Softer Footprint," Xanterra Parks & Resorts® entities include lodges, restaurants, tours and activities in national and state parks, as well as resorts, a cruise line, railway and tour companies. Xanterra Parks & Resorts has operations in Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Zion, Crater Lake, Glacier, Rocky Mountain and Petrified Forest National Parks; Mount Rushmore National Memorial; Furnace Creek Resort in Death Valley National Park; and five Ohio State Park Lodges as well as the Geneva Marina at Ohio's Geneva State Park.

The Death of Lila Jane
Publication Date: September 29, 2014
Freshman year of high school is supposed to be a time to spread your wings; grow from a little girl into a young woman. That's what the adults say anyway. It just meant harder assignments and less time to figure out what college I wanted to get into in four years. I didn't need to add any stress to my life my parents did that for me. They fight constantly and no matter how hard I tried it was never good enough. This year would be different. This year I was going to shed the little girl Lila Jane and
become a woman if it killed me.
Be careful what you wish for.

Current line
Denver -16.5 / 50
Some -16's around and some 49's are out there. You'd think the OV would be a gimme considering Denver has scored 49 and 41
by themselves in the first 2 games, and given up an average of 25 ppg. They have won by spreads of 22 and 18 so the line looks
doable also. The difference in this game could prove to be Terrell Pryor's mobility though. The Raiders have actually been able to
sustain some drives this year with Pryor's running ability as he's gone 22 for 162 yds while ripping off a couple 20+ yd runs.
Along with a healthy McFadden the Raiders have won the time-of-possession battle in both games so far.
Their defense has also looked much improved but, of course, they haven't seen anything like this offense yet. The Broncos have 4
legitimate targets in the passing game with D. Thomas, Decker, Welker and J. Thomas and Knowshon Moreno has been enough to
keep defenses honest. The Raiders defense will have their work cut out for them and I can't see the Broncos scoring less than 34.
The Raiders should be able to score also.... at least a minimum of 17....so I think a minimum of 51 pts total is very realistic barring
a barrage of turnovers that tend to kill scoring drives.
I'd be a little leery of laying close to 17 pts though as the double-digit dogs have been pretty tough ATS so far. But I'm not going to
bet against Denver either so I'm going to stick with the OV 50 in this one and just get ready to watch a shootout.

Steve's Talk
Progressive Enchantment
So why don't we love it and always build this way? It can be difficult to do, especially at first. We have time and money constraints. We have to argue with clients, bosses, and (gasp!) ourselves. In this talk you'll learn about why it's worth having those difficult conversations. We'll talk about how being more pessimistic can help us build more stable, resilient, and robust things. And, you'll learn how can we move away from a

A bit about Steve
Steve Barnett works as front-end developer and user experience consultant. He loves applying user-centered design principles to front-end development. He loves helping people learn new things and being involved with the local dev community. He helps organise Cape Town Front-End Developers (a monthly meetup group that does talks and workshops) and RailsBridge Cape Town (quarterly Ruby on Rails workshops), and runs occasional Open Device Lab sessions around Cape Town with his Nomad Device Lab.
He loves sharing what he learns, so he writes about it (on his own site and on Medium), speaks at conferences, and facilitates workshops. If he's not busy with one of those, he's probably crouched in an awkward position in front of something funny-looking, taking pictures of it.
Sometimes he writes things about himself in the third person and it feels a bit odd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Air Curtain & Air Door Specialists
Air Curtains and Air Doors for Commercial Kitchens
Perfect air curtains have the following roles in a commercial kitchen:
Air Curtains Control Insect Entry into the Commercial Kitchen
Air Curtains repulse house flies and different contaminant, alleviating the potential existence of harmful diseases. A few states require- by law that, restaurants and food generation offices must introduce air curtains for their customers and employees.
How does an air curtain work?
Air door for a commercial kitchen includes a high velocity, 3/4 HP motor, and an aluminized steel cabinet. It is essential that the whole entryway should be secured so that there are no holes for the insects to enter. Insect control air curtains, in some cases called "Fly Fans," are utilized as a part of commercial kitchens where the controlling flying bugs are highly essential. The capable stream of air that is delivered by an air curtain is a fabulous obstruction to insects and polluted air stream just because of its unnatural high speed. The best air curtain outline for insect control has a spout that can point the air stream far from the range to be secured.

Welcome to IGN's weekly feature, "Lost Mysteries." Each week we take a look at one mystery from Lost and go over what we've learned to date, what we still don't know, and our theories on what it all may mean.
Now that we're in the sixth, and final, season, we're going to revisit the creature known as "The Smoke Monster."
SPOILER WARNING: Details from the two-part Lost premiere, "LA X," are discussed, so if you haven't seen it yet consider yourself warned. Also, potential spoilers for upcoming episodes are discussed, if any of Our Theories are correct.
It's time once again to delve into the labyrinthine mysteries of Lost. We started this weekly feature last year during Season 5 and there's no way we weren't going to keep it going during the final endgame. The Lost Mysteries pieces this year will be a mix of old and new. While we expect some new faces and head-scratching puzzles to pop up now and again this season (Flash-Sideways?, Hiroyuki Sanada's Dogen?) we're really on the lookout for answers, and a chance to re-visit some of our previous quandaries when we get big updates. Last fall, after the episode "Dead Is Dead," our Lost reviewer, Chris Carabott, wrote up our original Mysteries piece on The Smoke Monster. We still might not know all that we could know about this creature, but we did get hit with a huge revelation about it in the season premiere…
…The Man in Black is The Smoke Monster.
That's what we now know. And I'm sure just like us, a lot of you are now going back through the history of the series and trying to figure out how this new connection works in context with what we've already seen. It can be a tricky thing to try and connect all the dots in previous episodes, but we think this new bombshell is probably one of the best ways they could have gone with Smokie. Because let's face it, there are still a ton of you out there who were hung up on this black cloudy snake of doom. We're all pretty sure that we won't get closure on every open ticket by the end of the series, but if they had somehow let this one be one of the dangling strings it would have caused an uproar. We all have a few friends who gave up on watching Lost a few years back. Every now and again, when they check in with you about the series they'll say something along the line of "so, did they ever explain what that Smoke-a-saurus Rex was?" Well now you can say, "Yes! In your face! Quitter!" Or something less diabolical perhaps!
Of course, you'll then try to explain that the monster is really The Man in Black and they'll say "who?" because they haven't been following the series. Then you'll just have to poke them in the eye and run away. All in all though, you'll still feel satisfied knowing that you've been rewarded for sticking with the series.
It's interesting to think back to Locke's first encounter with Smoke Monster, knowing that the monster would someday dopplegang him with evil intentions. Or are they evil? We're still not sure if The Man in Black is really an "evil" man. He and Jacob seem to operate above our concept of morality. When we first saw The Man in Black on the beach, he really seemed to object to the way that Jacob kept drawing unsuspecting mortals to The Island to test them. It seemed like a noble enough notion and it made Jacob seem like an aloof puppet-master, blind to the misery and death he was causing. Locke described his first meeting with Smokie to Jack: "I looked into the eye of this Island, and what I saw... was beautiful." That doesn't sound particularly "evil" now does it? In fact, Locke told Eko that he saw a "bright light" and not a snake of charcoal poison.
"I'm sorry you had to see me like that," Fake-Locke told Ben after he had turned into The Smoke monster to dispatch Braum and the other foot-soldiers of Shadow Company. We knew that The Man in Black had cloned Locke's body, but we didn't know that he was also The Monster. Of course, Locke objected to the monster moniker. "I'm not a what, Ben," he said. "I'm a who."
The main form of The Monster is really a man. Or a God-man. Carabott previously wrote, "However, we would soon learn that the Monster wasn't necessarily a mindless, vicious beast that killed with reckless abandon. Locke's encounter with the creature was vastly different and appeared to spark a spiritual awakening in the former regional collections supervisor."
Could that have been the moment when The Man in Black targeted Locke as a pawn in his game to kill Jacob? And it's good to note that, yes, The Monster wasn't mindless. It…HE was thinking. He was able to see into the hearts and minds of those he confronted. He was almost passing judgment. It's interesting to note that HE chose to kill some of the people that Jacob sucked/fated onto The Island. "They come. They fight. They corrupt. They destroy," The Man in Black told Jacob on the beach while watching The Black Rock sail up to their shore. "It's always the same." Obviously, The Man in Black doesn't think too much of the human race and sees them as fallible fools.
Now here's something else we know. The Man in Black, as himself or as The Monster, can assume the shape of the dead. So yes, he can magically assume the form of other people, but only if they've died and their body is on The Island. Like the way Locke's dead body had to be transported back. Thinking back to "Dead Is Dead", Man in Black, as Locke, led Ben to the Temple and sent him inside. Once Ben was inside, he must has switched himself over to Black Fog of Death mode and appeared to Ben in order to "judge" him. He then appeared to Ben as his dead daughter, Alex, and told Ben to trust…who else?...John Locke. The fake Locke. It was all a ruse, taking advantage of Ben's guilt over Alex's death. And not only could Smokie/Man in Black take on the body of the deceased – he could know their thoughts as well. Their thoughts from when they were alive. He demonstrated that with Ben when he told him that John Locke's final thought, before Ben murdered him, was "I don't understand."
We know that The Man in Black found the loophole to kill Jacob that he promised he'd find back in "The Incident". He couldn't kill Jacob himself, so it was just a matter of convincing someone else to do it. That someone else was Ben, and it was done after meticulously and painstakingly making Ben, and everyone else, think that Locke was "destined" to be the new leader of The Others. After all, it was after Locke's encounter with Smokerstein that he want from "this is a place of miracles" (thanks to his new working legs) to "this Island has a plan for me."
What else do we know? Well we know that The Monster/Man in Black's plan, in killing Jacob, is "to go home." He wants off The Island. He is, essentially, a prisoner. What else? Well, we know he knows Richard, but hadn't seen him for a long time. "It's good to see you out of those chains," Fake-Locke said, indicating that it had been a very long while since the last time they stood face to face." We also know that, even in his wretched sooty smoke form, he hates dynamite and sonic fences. And capers. And love.

Amazon proposes drones-only airspace to facilitate high-speed delivery | Technology | The Guardian.
Why 2016 may be Europe's best year in decade.
Finally Eurozone implemented Keynesian policies (QE), the euro dropped massively and the results promptly emerge.
Thank you Draghi. The rest of you Eurozone politicians, stay back and at least don't do anything to break this reviriment.
The one where I offer stock tips | Asymco.
The new facts since negotiations broke a week ago are:1. It became crystal clear that Tsipras will not blink and/or do a "kolotoumba";
2. The creditors offered a sweetened deal that included a conditional debt restructuring in October;
3. IMF, pushed by the Americans, published a crushing assessment on the Greek debt unsustainability, and recommended a 30% haircut plus a 20-year grace period and extending maturities until 2055;
4. The Greek people didn't respond to the terror and said a respunding NO to the old memorandum-style proposals.
Now EU (i.e. Merkel) has a clear choice to make:
– either to agree to a sweetened deal that includes debt restructuring and some growth ideas, or
– let Greece slip from the eurozone and into chaos.
The first choice would cost them some money that they are not able to recover anyway, possibly some manageable risks with other periphery countries down the road, and some political face which is manageable at this point, by pretending to let the French socialists take over and submit to their proposals.
The second choice comes with a lot of consequences: the reversibility of the Euro, contagion risks, the humanitarian crisis within the EU, geopolitical concerns of having a Greek failed state, loss of access to markets for their export-oriented economy but above all a serious blow their hegemony role in Europe.
Given all these, I bet that Merkel will take the first choice. This will prove Tsipras-Varoufakis right in holding out and playing the game until the end.
I'm just happy that the terror of closing the banks didn't win today. Well done Greece!

NEW YORK — We all know about using the Super Bowl to predict the stock market`s performance during the year: A victory by an original National Football League team is a victory for the stock market.
But there`s an easier way: Just look for signs of the greed factor.
Here`s how it works: Check every market rally carefully and see where people invest. If they`re buying quality stocks, the bull still has a long way to go. When investors start plowing their winnings into the little stocks, or so-called penny stocks, you`ll know the bull probably has run its course. So says Palomba (Pam) Weingarten, chairman of the Pilgrim Group of mutual funds.
