Erap gives stern message to new MPD anti-drug unit
metromanila.politics.com.ph | March 8, 2017
The newly-created anti-drug unit of the Manila Police District (MPD) will undergo a refresher course on anti-drug laws and human rights, Manila Mayor Joseph "Erap" Estrada said on Tuesday (March 7).
Estrada issued the directive after Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa announced that the national police will relaunch its anti-drug drive "Oplan Double Barrel Reloaded" after a month-long suspension.
"You've been called 'Manila's Finest' for nothing. Do your duties well but preserve your honor and dignity by respecting human rights and the laws you took an oath to uphold," the Manila mayor told the members of the MPD's District Drug Enforcement Units (DDEU).
Estrada warned he will personally discipline any MPD member who will be engaged in illegal activities such as the "Tokhang-for-ransom" scheme.
"I will see to it that you will regret everything you have done," said the mayor and former president.
MPD director Chief Supt. Joel Coronel said Estrada ordered him to subject all members of the MPD-DDEU to an orientation seminar to be handled by the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), Office of the City Prosecutor of Manila, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
"They will be undergoing a two-day course on implementation of the anti-drug laws, with emphasis to be given on observance of the rules of procedure, human rights, and the rules of court," Coronel said.

Preview: Kings at Mavericks
With a margin of error that is admittedly razor thin, the Dallas Mavericks will continue a five-game homestand against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Dallas is coming off a four-point loss to Atlanta on Monday that dropped the team to 22-29 - meaning the team will be a scruffy bunch until March 1 at the earliest after the players vowed not to shave until reaching the .500 mark. One thing the Mavericks have going in their favor is a lengthy domination of Sacramento. Dallas has won three straight and 13 of the past 14 meetings.

We're still awaiting some final confirmations, but the total amount promised by readers in the Burma appeal, which closed a couple of days ago, is a bit over $4000. My calculation show that this blog is marginally ahead of Troppo, but seasoned election-watchers will know that results can change with recounts and similar. Anyway, it's been an overwhelmingly generous response. With our matching contribution raising the total to $8000, it's the most successful fundraiser ever for this blog, which has now (with assistance from Troppo and many others) raised over $20 000 in total for appeals of this kind.
The situation in Burma remains disastrous, with natural calamity confounded by a government that seems utterly unconcerned with anything except the maintenance of its own power. Still, with pressure coming from the entire world, including ASEAN neighbors who've previously been inclined to give the junta a free pass, I'm sure the help to which we are contributing will get through in the end. It will still be sorely needed when it arrives.

Unlike Paris, where most of the outdoor dining is done on the sidewalk, Chicago-area restaurants primarily have their al fresco dining in gardens, patios and other off-street areas. Here are some of them:
Alfredo`s Amigos, 4535 N. Lincoln Ave.; 784-0030. Why eat your Mexican inside when there`s a delightful little patio outside? It seems like this place is still waiting to be discovered, maybe because of the address. But those who do stop by are in for a treat.

UH Sports Report
Sibling Swimmers Make a Splash at Manoa
Andrew and Jessica Affleck
You'd be hard pressed to find prouder parents than Gaye and John Affleck of Townsville, Australia. Their two elder offspring, Andrew and Jessica, are leaving the competition in their wake as members of the University of Hawai'i Manoa men's and women's swim teams.
Both Aussies easily freestyled their way past records while earning their first letters at Manoa, where they came to swim for Assistant Coach Chris Mooney, a fellow Australian.
As only a second-semester freshman, Jessica has already recorded the best times for Rainbow Wahine in the 1,000-yard (10:01.12) and 1,650-yard (16:44.85) freestyle competitions. She placed second in the 1,650-freestyle at the WAC Championships and received the UH Outstanding Performance award.
Older brother Andrew, who has also received the award, broke school, pool and conference records in the 500-yard freestyle at the National Independent Conference Championships (4:23.95). A five-sport athlete at Townsville Grammar School, the sophomore finished third in the 2001 Australian Open Championships in the 1,500-meter freestyle.
All that chlorine must be good for the brain -- both siblings are Honorable-Mention Academic All-Americans with impressive GPAs. Andrew would like to be a sports journalist, but first he and his sister hope to write more sports history, qualifying for the NCAA Championships and eventually the Australian Olympic team.top
The Hilo-Canada-Athens Connection
Kristy Odamura
From life as a Vulcan at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo to an Olympian in Sydney, Kristy Odamura has traveled the world on her softball skills.
Odamura, who started playing at age 8, now covers second base for the Canadian national softball team. Last summer she captained Team Canada as it qualified for the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
No one should be surprised -- while playing for the Vulcans, Odamura was named Rookie of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year. She led the team in batting average three of her four years at UH Hilo and was named first team All-Star in the PacWest conference.
Four academic All-American honors are also telling -- Odamura earned a Hilo degree in biology with a minor in chemistry in 2000 and added a degree in physical education in 2002.
The Canadian team's trip to Japan, where it qualified for the 2000 Olympics is a softball highlight, and Odamura rates representing her country in Sydney as "so far the best experience of my life." But with Athens just a year away, she'll have a good chance to top that.

Do you remember that Tootsie Pop commercial? The one that asked 'how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?' I loved that commercial as a kid. Ok, I still do because I find myself saying 'ah-one!…ah-too-hoo!…ah-three' a couple times a week. But it's a valid question, right? Especially if you're trying to get to that Tootsie Roll center.
This commercial popped into my head when I read an article on how long you need to view a web ad before it matters. In other words, how many seconds does it take to get to the center of your brain?
1. Eye-tracking study shows how long web ads need to be seen to actually matter.
2. What is the greatest logo of all time?Impossible to decide? Yes. Fun to discuss? Absolutely.
3. No one said it was easy to be disruptive.I don't know, my six-year-old doesn't seem to have any trouble with it.
4. The most popular color on the web. Orange you glad you clicked the link? (No, it's not orange.)
5. How to make your presentation more persuasive. A Dukeprofessor tells you in this Harvard Business Review article. How can you not be intrigued?
And finally…if you missed our digital marketing webinar (first in a series of four) you can download it here. Thank you to everyone who attended. The early feedback is positive and we're excited to carry that into our second webinar.

it is the collective term used for the understanding of wisdom through the words and experiences of others. Ujabuja, though brought about by the understanding of another's words / thoughts / experiences, is a very personal thing…It is the individuals understanding which makes each persons ujabuja unique and distinctive. Ujabuja is defined through ones interpretation of the wisdom which has come their way, whether it was wisdom offered to him or wisdom sought after…whether it came about in an instant second / by pure coincidence, or as a result of years of hardship and struggle.
Everyone has ujabuja, some more than others…but the beauty of it is that your Ujabuja…is only yours.

Spell out a friendly or scary message on pumpkins for your front porch. Secure antique skeleton keys to create a message like FALL or EEK!
Think beyond the jack-o'-lantern face when decorating your pumpkin, and transform it into an industrial work of art. Here, different gears and springs are put together to form a clockface.
Editor's Tip: If a piece of your junk pumpkin comes loose, wedge a scrap piece of wood or a toothpick into the pumpkin to hold the embellishment in place.
To create your own junk pumpkins, hunt down a wide variety of, well, junk. Think old washers, springs, tacks, keys, nuts, bolts, and anything that catches your eye. Be cautious about sharp edges and pieces with pointy ends. Use a muffin tin to sort the different types of junk you collect.
This ladybug pumpkin sports upholstery-tack spots, a wing-nut head, and nail feet. Sturdy 18-gauge wire forms the antennae.
White pumpkins embellished with junk are a perfect complement to shabby chic decor. The butterflies are made from old door hinges nailed to the pumpkin, and the antennae are created from 18-gauge wire. The other pumpkins in this trio are dressed with vintage keys and upholstery tacks.
This pumpkin may not be as elegant as Cinderella's stagecoach, but it still captures the imagination with corn planters for wheels, a soap dish for the driver's seat, a drawer pull for the door, and a sink drain for the window.
Tiny gourds come to life as miniature mice with wire whiskers, an upholstery-tack nose, and nail feet.
Odds and ends destined for the trash bin are rescued, reused, and recycled for these industrious pumpkins. Bits and pieces are engineered to form faces and embellishments for a new take on the classic jack-o'-lantern. This pumpkin sports a drainpipe mouth, caster ears, and two eyes made out of brackets.
Editor's Tip: After creating a junk pumpkin, avoid leaving it out in the sun too long -- the metal pieces will get hot (which could accelerate decomposition).
Most canines found roaming junk yards are not very friendly. But this junk yard dog is harmless and cute. The head is held onto the body by a stake, which is driven into both pumpkins.
This gang of junk pumpkins is an ensemble of all kinds of looks. Each one of them is crafted from different materials. See the next slides for instructions on how to make each of these junk pumpkins.
Crown a regal pumpkin with a hat of garden fencing (left in photo) or top a jack-o'-lantern with curly "locks" from old bed springs (right).
This pumpkin sports a wheel-top head and a nozzle nose.
Clearly a cut above the rest, this mustached gentleman wears a top hat fashioned from a furnace duct fitting. He also features pulleys for eyes and a coat-hook nose.
A section of rusted chain forms a goofy grin for this happy pumpkin. A doorknob and old faucet handles are repurposed as a nose and pair of eyes, respectively. The pumpkin is topped with a metal funnel hat with a wheel brim.

Charlie Rose interviewed President Obama Monday. The interview aired in the evening, but PBS sent a preliminary transcript to various news outlets in advance with an 11pm embargo. This is standard procedure in media, and a win-win for both sides. The sender increases their chances for publicity and the receiver is ready to go when the interview airs, and not left to scramble something together at the last minute.
But for some desperate reason, BuzzFeed Politics ran portions of the transcript six-hours early, at 3:45 pm (scooping Charlie Rose's own interview, which broadcast later that night). Their defense is that an "embargo is an agreement, not a command."
That is a revealing response. An agreement (or understanding) represents mutual trust and a sense of honor. A command does not. Most people would violate a command long before they violated an agreement.
NBC's Chuck Todd saw it this way:
"Come on. It's a crappy thing to do to PBS," he wrote on Twitter last night. "It's Charlie Rose's interview. Not mine. Not BuzzFeed's. The entire thing airs tonight."
He went deep with it, talking about honor and manners. "This is not a legal dispute," he wrote. "It's about basic manners … it's about whether there's any honor left." He spoke of old, worn established media rules. "Many news orgs are respecting PBS 11 p.m. ET embargo on the Rose POTUS interview. Some have chosen to ignore. Who changed the 'rules?' Wow, so in the obsessive world of trying to get clicks, we have news orgs no longer respecting embargoes. Can we have some rules respected?"
BuzzFeed can attempt to rationalize this all they want, or try to paint it as gonzo-badassery, I suppose, but violating an embargo is awfully short-sighted. For a one-day traffic boost, the site has now lost the trust of who knows how many? Why would anyone send them anything in advance if their arrogant response is to sniff at long-held rituals based on a mutual understanding that makes everyone's life easier?
An anonymous political reporter summed it up for FishBowl DC:
BuzzFeed's argument is that they never agreed to the embargo, which is true. In other words, they had no actual responsibility to abide by it. But if outlets start breaking embargoes like this, it means PR folks will either not send out embargoed stuff or be forced to get every outlet to agree to the embargo in advance. Which either means we won't get embargoed stuff (which is helpful) or it's a huge pain for PR folks. In other words, BuzzFeed is ruining it for the rest of us because they wanted a Drudge hit. They may not have done anything wrong, but they certainly did something pretty shitty.
Since I got into this media racket I've dealt with embargoes, starting with film reviews that we reviewers were told couldn't publish until a very specific date (usually a day or two before the film was released).
As much as I loath Hollywood (and PBS), the thought of violating an agreement (or understanding), using some loophole involving the fact that no one had notarized my signature in blood, never crossed my mind.

The Road to Conflict Resolution & Mediation
Side By Side Agreements
The End!!
We have a little activity!
It's Out of Your Hands
We do the same things you do!!
Individual meetings
Revisit roommate agreement
There are no straight roads to resolving conflict.
Study Times/Quite Times
How much sleep do we need?
What are our class, work and personal schedules?
When do you wake up/go to bed?
How do we feel about hitting snooze button?
How do we feel about noise, lights, typing, etc.
What are our noise tolerance levels when studying?
Where do we prefer to study?
When studying in the room, what are the expectations of roommates?
Other thoughts?
This is the underlying cause of many roommate issues!
Use of the Community Area
Encourage residents not to simply say "we can share everything"
What are the things that they can share?
What are the things that they will not share or use?
Most people are not okay with others sleeping on/in their bed when they are gone
Is the room split in half or do they have shared space/items (fridge, microwave, TV, etc.)
Other thoughts?
Cleaning Issues
Encourage residents not to simply say "let's clean when it gets dirty".
How often and how thoroughly will we clean the room?
Who will do what to clean?
What are our expectations with general cleanliness of the room
and personal belongings (messy, casual, spotless, etc)?
Who will buy the cleaning supplies?
How often will we remove trash?
Any other thoughts?
Visitation & Guests
How often can guests come over/be in the room?
When are good/bad times for guests?
Does it need to be advance warning or discussion for when guests are coming over or staying the night?
What are expectations about guests of whom which the roommate may engage in sexual relations with?
Any other thoughts?
Please remember your buildings specific visitation & guest policy!!
Use of Personal
What items can be shared with/without permission?
What items may not be used by the roommate(s)?
What will we do with items bought together for the room?
How do we feel about locking our doors when we are out?
What about when we are sleeping?
Any other thoughts?
Please note: Res Life STRONGLY encourages all residents to lock room doors when not in the room during the day/evening or when in the room sleeping at night.
Don't forget to remind your residents to carry their
room key and Ranger Card when they are out of the room and not to give those items to anyone else!!!!
Communication/Resolving Conflicts
This is a skill many residents do not have, be patient and teach them!
How do we agree to communicate with each other about issues?
What do we feel comfortable talking about or not talking about?
If someone stops by how will we take messages?
How late or early is appropriate for others to hang out in our room?
Any other thoughts?
Make sure to spend time on this one.
It may not be the cause of issues,
but it is the reason they get out of control!
Other Topics
How do you feel about policy violations in the room?
How would you feel if alcohol was brought into the room?
Any allergies/medical issues to share with your roommate?
Any other thoughts?
All roommates can be held responsible for policy violations that occur in the room.
Side By Side
Remember you should be present if possible when completing the agreement(s).
Ask your supervisor what they would like to be done with completed Side By Side Agreements.
If there isn't enough detail, go through it again!
Remember if they get a new roommate at any point, a new Side By Side Agreement needs o be completed!
If a roommate disagreement occurs, please let your supervisor know
Ask if they have talked to their roommate
Do a mediation and review roommate contract
Get your supervisor involved if necessary
Can be an awkward thing to talk about...
Initial Complaint
One of your residents says they are having roommate issues...
Naturally, they have to move IMMEDIATELY!!
Active listening is just as important as what you say...
Make eye contact
Acknowledge you are listening verbally or physically
Reflective listening is part of active listening!
"So what I hear you saying is..."
Ask questions (open-ended)
Pay attention to their non-verbals
Body language
Facial expressions
Time to Discern:
Do they just want to be heard or listened to?
Are they looking for a solution?
Listen to them!
Use "Active Listening" skills
1. Brainstorm possible solutions.
2. Consider results or consequences of each solution.
3. Allow the student to come to their own conclusion—
the one that's best for them (unless dangerous)!
This is something invaluable to conflict resolution!
______________, I feel ______________ when you ___________________
because ________________. I would like _______________________.
The I-Statement is to be said in a way that minimizes the chance of misinterpretation.
Starting with "when YOU do THIS" can cause someone to be defensive and accusatory
Not using the I-statement can make mediation more difficult
Not using the I-statement can make it extremely difficult for residents to try and handle a conflict on their own
Should be the first suggestion you, as the RA, make to your residents in a conflict situation
How you are heard is just as important as what you say and how you want to say it!!
Name of person
Emotion you are feeling
Behavior causing the conflict
How it affects you
What would make the issue better for you
Time for Them to Go Off on Their Own
It's going to be scary, it's going to be unpleasant. If conflict was fun, everyone would do it!
Suggest they speak to their roommate first, without you
They are going to be hesitant
Talk them through it!
Teach them a few of the awesome skills you will have by the end of this session!!
How to listen effectively
Remind them to stay calm
The more calmly they speak, the less agitated both of them will get
So They've Talked...
The follow-up conversation is essential!
The one still wants to move (they always do)
Get some details about the conversation...
How did it go?
Did everyone stay calm?
What did you talk about?
Why do you still want to move?
The real question being, "What issues didn't you work out that were the real reason for you wanting to move in the first place?"
Nothing is Fixed...Yet
Now it's time for you to step in and work some RA magic!
Central's Roommate Conflict Process:
Everyone thinks they can just move, this is not the case! This process is here for a purpose-and it's a good one!
You, the RA, are the first step in this process.
Residents will say "I need to move NOW" or "I hate my roommate", etc.
The Res. Life staff is here to teach them how to take those statements and turn them into a solution.
First, the residents need to TALK to each other. Face to Face (crazy thought, right?!)!!!
NO facebook chat, NO twitter, NO emailing, NO texting, snapchat, etc.
Give them tips!
Usually that conversation goes south somewhere...
You, the RA, will meet with each of them separately (this is important for getting the whole story)
You will then have a mediation (a skill we will touch on in a few minutes)
Give the solutions from the mediation a couple of weeks to work!
Depending on the issue, give it some time to work out. Results wont be immediate!
If the mediation just didn't help and they still want to move...
Explain to the residents their next meeting is with your supervisor
Another mediation possibly with the building director
After another trial period, the building director will talk about moving them to different rooms
This should be nothing new...
Use the same listening skills as before!
Active listening
Reflective listening
Ask a LOT of questions.
They might tell you something they wouldn't in front of others
What are the issues and when did they start?
"Nothing" is not an answer to your questions!
Getting as much information as possible will help with the impending mediation
It's not surprising your residents didn't have a successful conversation. This is not a skill most of them have yet, and it's the reason you all are such a big deal and their main resource!
The Mediation
Follow these tips and guidelines for a successful outcome!
Getting Started
Mediation is more than just talking
Location, Location, Location!
Their room is usually NOT the ideal location.
Somewhere neutral
A room that has a door to close (for privacy)
An environment where one person doesn't hold more power or authority
Somewhere that can be uninterrupted for an hour (just to be safe)
Be sure there is enough space for 3 people to be comfortable and have personal boundaries (3ft or so between them)
You found a room?
Find a chair for everyone (including you-don't forget!)
Set them up in a triangle- the residents should face each other and you make sure there are no barriers between any of you (desks, tables, other chairs, etc.)
The Mediation
The room is all set up, and the roommates have arrived
Begin the mediation with an opening statement
Ask someone to share their side of the story to start the mediation
Usually the one that first approached you with the issue
Make sure they are sharing all of the details you know about
Reframe, and make sure you have correctly identified their issues
Like in the video- "So what's most important is..."
"So you feel angry, hurt, etc. when ______"
Do this for each roommate!
Have them speak to each other, eye contact and everything!
You are there to help, not to be someone to talk through.
Keep an eye on their non-verbals (and yours)
Opening Statement
Nothing said in the mediation will be shared outside of the people involved and the Area Coordinator if necessary
No interrupting-
Everyone will have equal chances to share their points, and respond to others. That goes for the mediator as well, let them talk (unless it is gets out of hand)
Ground rules-
No swearing, name calling, yelling, etc The only time it's okay to interrupt a mediation is to "detoxify" the conversation. calmly remind the parties about this rule, and reframe what they were saying
You don't make decisions, THEY make them-
This means they have to be willing to share things, and work toward solving the problem. They will both have an equal role in the brainstorming of solutions
You will not take sides-
Remind them you are as neutral as you can be, and will be helping both sides find solutions.
This is an important part-helps put them at ease
Does this look like a successful setup?
legs crossed AWAY from other person
arms crossed
head turned
talking through the
mediator, open posture,
not facing other person
It doesn't go so well...
The "triangle" setup is ideal, because it creates an environment where everyone can easily look at each other without being uncomfortable.
Finally, the mediation is almost over
All of the issues have been discussed in detail.
Ask one more time if there is anything else anyone would like to share before you start to brainstorm solutions
Go through the side by side agreement section by section, taking care to focus a lot on the areas causing the issues.
Different things are naturally more important to people; safety is more important than friends, for example.
Take notes of their suggestions.
Get at least one solution for each issue you discussed.
Solution agreement
Discuss the ideas for solutions to each issue
Both of them must agree!!
Write the solution on the new side by side agreement.
After the mediation is over, explain to the residents that they will have a while to give the solutions they just came up with a chance to set in. You will follow up with them soon!
Follow Up!
This part is very important!
Re-visit the roommate agreement
Check that both roommates are abiding by the decisions made
Do things need to be tweaked?
If a decision needs to be changed, talk about it!
Ask how they are discussing the issues now. Hopefully they learned some skills from you by this time.
Remind them of the communication tips (I-statements, listening skills, etc.)
So, They Can't Get Along...
Time to involve the Hall Director
You should be informing your Hall Director of every step that you have taken up until this point.
The more info we have, the easier it is to help the residents!!
Update/inform the residents of the next step(s)!
Please, tell them you will be involving us. Make sure you mention that they aren't in trouble!
** Everyone seems to think we only talk to people who are in trouble...
What the Hall Directors do...
If we believe we have exhausted all conflict resolution options, we can allow the roommates to move, but that is our decision.
They will decide who moves out (usually that isn't much of an issue... but sometimes it is)
The one moving will get a list of roommate options (someone with an empty bed)
The new roommate will get 24 hours that they are getting a new roommate
They do the "matchmaking", not us!
Go to dinner, the Brickstone, etc. to get to know them
Talk about similarities, differences, schedules, etc. to see if it can work
We will do our best to contact new and old RA in the event of a room change
The Road to the Resolution is Blocked!
What now?
Sometimes there just is no resolving conflict, and that's okay. We have to try!
Its All in the Details!
When having the Side By Side Agreement conversation, it is important to be as detailed as possible. It's the little things that start the big issues.

Fifth-ranked Washington overpowers No. 3 Southern California in 3-0 sweep
SEATTLE, Wash. -- Third-ranked USC (13-2) suffered a heartbreaking 3-0 loss (25-23, 26-24, 25-21) at the hands of No. 5 Washington (13-0) at Alaska Airlines Arena on Friday. It was the second victory against a top-5 team in as many matches for the Huskies who took out a fourth-ranked UCLA squad just two days earlier.
Washington maintained its unblemished record as the Trojans dropped back-to-back matches for the first time since early last season.
Despite winning many statistical head-to-head battles throughout the match, USC committed too many errors to overcome a UW squad that is off to its best start since 2009 when it was 15-0 and 5-0 in Pac-10 play.
The Trojans got 12 kills from senior opposite hitter Katie Fuller and 11 kills from freshman outside hitter Samantha Bricio but were undone by their errors in the serving and passing game.
USC finished the match with 12 service errors and surrendered eight service aces to the Huskies. Washington gave up its share of unearned points as well as it logged 12 service errors.
Junior libero Natalie Hagglund led all players with 15 digs while sophomore setter Hayley Crone dished out 33 assists in the match. Junior outside hitter Sara Shaw came up with eight kills and had eight digs.
|Hitting Percentage
For the Huskies, Krista Vansant followed up a 31-kill match by leading her team with 13 points on 12 kills. Kylin Munoz had four kills but did some major damage from off the court as she scored on five service aces.
Behind USC's hitting percentage for most of the match, the Huskies maintained their course to finish with a .239 rate while USC logged 40 kills and a .221 attack percentage.
The Trojans turned a 20-19 deficit into a 21-20 lead on back-to-back kills by Fuller, but Washington's Amanda Gil responded to knot the first set for a 13th time at 21-all. The Huskies grabbed set point at 24-21, but USC saved a pair of them.
Washington cut short any hopes of a Trojan comeback as Munoz tipped a shot into the 10-foot area for the 25th Husky point. USC held Washington to just nine kills and a stretch of 20 rallies during which the Huskies had no kills, but Washington stayed afloat with blocks, service aces and Trojan errors to win the first set. USC posted 16 kills with a .216 hitting percentage in the first.
Both teams struggled to create any space on the scoreboard as the second set opened, but the Huskies went ahead by three points 12-9 on a kill by Vansant. The Trojans trailed by three points 15-12 before a Bricio kill ignited a USC run that knotted the set at 16-all. The Trojans built their lead to three points 22-19 when Fuller knocked a shot off the Husky block, but Washington responded yet again. USC earned set point first at 24-22 when Shaw went off the block for a point, but a pair of Trojan errors put the lead back on the Husky side of the scoreboard.
Munoz earned a kill before the Washington block shut down Shaw's attack for a 26-24 win. USC recorded points on 14 kills in the second set but was blocked three times and surrendered points to the Huskies on six service errors and three reception errors.
Service woes continued for both teams at the outset of the third set, but the Huskies took advantage to pull away for a 10-7 lead on a kill by Gil. The Trojans fought back and got three kills from Fuller to come up with a 12-all tie, but the Huskies went ahead by two points 17-15 when Munoz went down the line for one of her four kills.
USC fell behind by four points when Washington tooled the Trojan block for a kill and a 20-16 lead. The Huskies came up with a 24-20 lead before the Trojans scored another point, but that was all Washington would give up as it closed out the sweep with a 25-21 win in the third set. The Huskies had 15 kills in the final stanza and held USC to just 10 kills.

Marketing plays a crucial role in whether or not a business will make profits or not. As such, any serious online business needs to carry out an intensive and extensive online marketing campaign. Utah SEO is one of the ways through which you can easily market your brand/business.
As stated in the previous paragraph, any business out to earn profits need to have effective campaigning tools which will allow the business to go out there and let the general public on what if on offer.
As much as marketing plays a crucial role in a business's success rate, the problem in the past has been the cost involved in carrying out marketing campaigns. Fortunately, all this changed with the invention of the internet.
In the past, some of the leading means through which a business could have effectively marketed itself is through media and paper print. These means of marketing came with a huge price tag, which in essence, meant that small and start-up companies with small budgets would not be able to afford them.
Today, these companies have a leveled playing field and are giving well established firms a run for their money, all thanks to online marketing. This is partly because of the sheer number of the ways through which you can market yourself across the internet. This includes:
Content Marketing
As a form of internet marketing, content marketing primarily deals with the communication between the customers or readers/followers, rather than trying to sell to them directly. This is particularly effective when seeking to generate awareness to your brand/business.
Social Media Marketing
As the name suggests, this form of internet marketing focuses primarily on social media networks for the necessary traffic coming to your website. With millions of registered individuals online every minute, it offers you a unique platform for passing over your sales message as well as advertisements.
Search Engine Optimization is the art and science of improving your website's visibility across the search engines. When properly undertaken, you can turn your efforts into a highly effective marketing tool by ensuring that you remain at the top of your niche, ahead of your competitors.
Email Marketing
Irrespective of not being hyped as much as the above online marketing techniques, email marketing has been around for such a long period of time because it works. The idea behind it involves coming up with a list of potential clients and sending them regular information about any products on sale. This can be further enhanced with a bit of Utah SEO services.

Thunderbirds Are Go to blast back on to tv screens for second series
ITV Studios and Pukeko Pictures have been commissioned by CITV to make a second series of Thunderbirds Are Go, the major new reinvention of the iconic children's show, ahead of the premiere of series one.
CITV has ordered a second 26 x 30' series of Thunderbirds Are Go to air in 2016 and 2017. The new children's series is set to premiere on ITV and CITV in spring 2015, 50 years after the TV debut of the classic show.
This follows the news that ITV Studios Global Entertainment has pre-sold the series to international broadcasters including TVNZ in New Zealand, Australia's Nine Network, Noga in Israel and pan-Arab broadcaster MBC.
Steve Green, EVP, Kids' Content and Distribution at ITV Studios Global Entertainment, said: "The unique mix of CGI animation and incredible model sets gives each episode of Thunderbirds Are Go a theatrical feel rarely seen in children's TV that has generated huge interest globally. Having 52 episodes of this quality takes our discussions to a new level."
Jamila Metran, Head of Programming for CITV, added: "I am delighted to confirm that a second series of Thunderbirds Are Go has been commissioned for CITV. We are so excited for the launch of our reboot of the iconic children's show and look forward to bringing the adventures of the five Tracey brothers to our audiences in 2015."
Featuring the world's most famous family of heroes, International Rescue, Thunderbirds Are Go will see the five brave Tracy brothers piloting their incredible vehicles into impossible rescues across the globe.
The cast is led by Rosamund Pike (The World's End, Gone Girl) as Lady Penelope and David Graham reprising his role as chauffeur and International Rescue agent Parker. Inventor Brains will be voiced by Kayvan Novak (Fonejacker, Facejacker). Tracy brothers Alan and Scott Tracy are both played by Rasmus Hardiker (Saxondale, Lead Balloon). David Menkin has been cast as both Virgil and Gordon Tracy. The fifth Tracy brother, John, will be played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Love Actually, Game of Thrones).
Thunderbirds Are Go is produced by ITV Studios and New Zealand-based Pukeko Pictures, in association with the world-famous Weta Workshop (Avatar, King Kong, The Lord of the Rings).
It is executive produced by Estelle Hughes for ITV Studios, Giles Ridge for ITV Studios Global Entertainment (ITVS GE) and Richard Taylor and Andrew Smith for Pukeko Pictures. The Head Writer is Rob Hoegee (Slugterra, Generator Rex, Teen Titans, League of Super Evil) and the Series Director is David Scott (LEGO Star Wars), with Theo Baynton (the WotWots) as Episodic Director. It was commissioned by Jamila Metran for CITV. ITV Studios Global Entertainment is the global distributor for the Thunderbirds Are Go television series and consumer products.

the battle for online music superiority continues as napster faces a request for an injunction from the riaa (recording industry association of america). the riaa has many supporters of the injunction, including mp3.com and emusic.com.
in related news, mp3.com is criticizing the riaa and the music industry as a whole for attempting to sell online music in the same manner as packaged cds and singles. mp3.com claims that consumers don't want to buy one-shot items at us$2 apiece, but would be more inclined to spend $5, $10, or $20 a month for access to large libraries of online music.
rob's opinion
it's pretty obvious why mp3.com and emusic.com would be on-board with the riaa in a napster injunction. napster probably has a larger audience than both of those internet music sites, and it's a smart business move to try to shut it down.
as for mp3.com's comments about the music industry, i tend to agree. does anyone really want to spend 10 minutes entering credit card info, etc. for a $2 purchase that can be destroyed when your hard drive crashes? that's just too much of a hassle. a subscription model may make the most sense, but then how does it work? will you subscribe to the entire riaa collection at once? that would be ideal. will the record companies offer obscure older music that isn't still commercially popular? that's the whole problem with cds today. i usually can't find an afros, cpo, big black, or naked raygun cd at any local cd store, and if i do it's usually some overpriced obscure import. by the way, i can't find most of that stuff on napster either …

Strengthening production activity across major sectors, such as manufacturing and energy, along with rising input costs have lifted up the price of FR uniforms over the three years to 2014.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 06, 2014
Flame-resistant (FR) uniforms have a buyer power score of 3.8 out of 5. This score reflects a mix of favorable and hindering conditions existing in the market that have affected buyer power over the three years to 2014. During the period, strengthening business activity across major downstream industries, coupled with rising raw material prices, has underpinned price growth, says IBISWorld analyst Anna Son. As buyers in the manufacturing and energy sectors have slowly got back on their feet, they have expanded their production efforts. Because employers must equip their workers with sufficient protection from a thermal exposure, demand for FR uniforms has picked up in line with surging business activity.
During the three years to 2017, growing demand for protective garments and the rising prices of raw materials, such as synthetic fibers, will lift up the price of FR uniforms. Despite rising product prices, buyers will continue to benefit from low price volatility, which helps them better anticipate trends in the pricing environment and budget their purchase needs without fear of major price swings, continues Son. Additionally, rising penetration of cheaper imported FR uniforms will help warrant strong price competition, thereby supporting buyer power.
A large pool of FR uniform suppliers and low market share concentration further buoy buyer power. Despite the presence of a few prominent players, such as Carhartt and Grainger, the vast majority of the FR uniform market consists of small and midsize firms that operate on a local or regional basis. However, market share concentration has slightly risen, reflecting larger suppliers' efforts to seize a larger market share. Increasing consolidation among suppliers can be detrimental to buyers, leading to fewer suppliers to choose from.
Moderate product specialization and switching costs further restrain buyer power. Depending on the nature of the hazard, buyers must ensure that the desired FR uniform products comply with safety standards in their respective industries to avoid burn injury and other risks. Buyers of specialized FR uniforms will likely encounter more difficulties when switching suppliers due to specific product maintenance requirements.

IBISWorld Procurement Report Key Topics
This report is intended to help buyers of flame-resistant (FR) uniforms. FR uniforms are constructed from materials that can deter fire from spreading and resist ignition. Flame-retardant substances are applied to the fabric of these uniforms to create flame resistance. Once the fire source is removed, FR uniforms will self-extinguish. FR uniforms are used in occupations involving high-temperature hazardous environments, such as electrical work, welding and oil refining. FR uniforms provide protection against a flash fire and electric arc flash and help mitigate burn injury from a thermal exposure. This report excludes firefighting clothes, such as turnout and extrication coveralls, jackets and coats.

Windows 95 Basics
Basic Windows 95 Tips Page 1
Quick Access for Favorite Files. Save yourself time by creating a Shortcut to any document you load regularly. Simply right-drag the file onto your desktop and select Shortcut.
Desktop Floppy Access. For quicker access to your floppy drive, place a Shortcut on the desktop. In Explorer, My Computer, or any folder window, right-click the drive, drag it to the desktop, and when you let go, select Create Shortcut(s) Here.
Easy Move to Floppies. The Send To menu, which you can access by right-clicking a file and selecting Send To, lets you copy the file to drive A:. To move files there easily, use Notepad to create a text file called "Floppy move.bat," with the line @ move %1 a:, in the c:\windows\sendto folder.
Name That Tune. If your old CD-ROM drive doesn't play audio CDs automatically, you can at least make it play them semiautomatically. Right-click the desktop and select New*Shortcut. Enter the command line c:\windows\cdplayer.exe /play. Click Next, name the Shortcut, and click Finished. Now all you need to do is pop in a CD and double-click the Shortcut.
Making a Good Pointer. Want to have some fun with your mouse cursors? Select Start*Control Panel, double-click Mouse, and go to the Pointers page. Highlight the pointer you'd like to change, click Browse, and double-click a pointer you want to change to. Select Apply or OK to make your change stick.
Folder Jumping. "Times New Roman""> Would you rather type than click? In Explorer, you can jump to any folder or file by typing the first few letters of its name very quickly. Just don't type too slowly, or Windows will jump to a file whose name begins with the second letter you type.
Does <Caps Lock> Ring a Bell? Have you ever hit the <Caps Lock>, <Scroll Lock>, or <Num Lock> key by mistake? To make those keys sound a warning tone when they're tapped, go to Control Panel, double-click Accessibility Options, select Use ToggleKeys, and click OK.
Finders, Keepers. If you use Windows Find to search for the same set of files regularly--for instance, to locate all the files in c:\data saved in the last month--you can save your search criteria for later use. After you've clicked Find Now and you have your results, select File*Save Search. Windows will create on the desktop a Shortcut to that exact find.
Explorer View, Please. Switching an open folder to an Explorer view is an easy and efficient way to browse from folder to folder. To open an Explorer view, right-click the icon in the upper left corner of the window and choose Explore.
The Captain's Log. You can use Notepad to create a time-stamped log file--a handy tool for logging your voice mail or creating a to-do list. Simply type .LOG as the only text in the first line of a Notepad file. Then make your entries, save the file, and close it. Next time you open the file, you'll see that Notepad has added a time-and-date stamp beneath each entry.
Long File Name Compatibility. Windows 3.x applications generally work fine with Win 95's long file names; not so with utilities, which can truncate long names. If the documentation doesn't explicitly say the utility is compatible with Windows 95, don't use it.
Long File Names No Longer. Some old, obscure DOS programs can wipe out a file's long name. If you must keep such a program, disable long file names. Right-click My Computer and select Properties, then Performance. Click the File System button and select the Troubleshooting tab. Check Disable long name preservation for old programs and click OK.
Emergency Startups. If you can't boot your hard drive, you'll be glad you have a start-up floppy disk handy. To create one, from Control Panel double-click Add/Remove Programs. Insert your disk, select the Startup Disk tab, and click Create Disk.

This highway runs Yamanashi prefecture (山梨県), where Mt. Fuji (富士山) exists.
(Mt. Fuji is placed half in Yamanashi prefecture, and half in Shizuoka prefecture.)
The first place I would like to show is lake Motosu.
There are 5 lakes near Mt. Fuji, and lake Motosu is one of them.
As it is warm winter in Japan this year, a little snow could see near the lake.
There were people who enjoys fishing, taking pictures, and camping.
Good nice nature still left here.
Click here to see map of lake Motosu.
Mt. Fuji could also see from the highway.
It appears suddenly.
When it comes to open place where no trees are not around the highway, you can see whole shape of Mt. Fuji.
Towards coming near closer, Mt. Fuji becomes larger.
I have to say one thing!
I was in passenger seat, not driving. In Japan, driver's seat is in right side, and cars run left side of the load.
The place I thought beautiful was Koufu Shouwa (甲府昭和) interchange.
Click here to see map of Koufu Shouwa interchange.
The last place I took picture was at a road in Atsugi city (厚木市), Kanagawa prefecture (神奈川県).
As Kanagawa prefecture is quite far from Mt. Fuji, it can be seen only when the weather is good and air is clear.
I was lucky this day, the condition was so good in the time of dawn.
This place was just a parking space of Seven Eleven.
Click here to see the map of see this parking lot.
I could see these all Mt. Fuji in same day, the first day of year 2016, it maybe lucky year.
I'm wishing that the world will become peace, and my family can pass the year healthy.
Thank you for reading!
Wishing everyone had started happy and nice year!!!

Mike Adenuga Biography. The 2nd Richest Man in Nigeria
Mike Adenuga Jr was given birth to on April 29, 1953 is the Nigerian Chairman Chief Executice Officer of Globacom. He is considered the richest man in Oyo State.
Adenuga ascend to wealth and associated popularity is an interesting story. His resolve to succeed despite all odds started when, while in United states of america, he worked as a taxi cab driver and security guard to support himself at university.
Born on April 29, 1953, Michael Adeniyi Isola Adenuga got his secondary school education at the Ibadan Grammar School, Ibadan, Oyo State, before proceeding to the North-Western University in Oklahoma and Pace University, New York, both in the usa where he studied business administration.
At age 26, Adenuga became a millionaire with connections in high places. With his unique flair for risks and absolute tenacity of purpose, quickly he started making profits in billions of dollars. He is the owner Equitorial Trust Bank and Consolidated Oil, which performs crude oil drilling, refining along with marketing.
His 1st shot into the consciousness of Nigerians was when his company, Consolidated Oil became the first indigenous company to strike crude in December 1991. He lately venture into the telecommunications market. With his Communications Investment Limited, CIL, he was issued a conditional licence in 1999 and frequencies to operate the Global System of Mobile Communications (GSM). The licence was later revoked. Once again, when in 2002, the government through the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), organised new auction for the GSM licence, the CIL participated and was one of the four that won the bid. He paid the $20 million mandatory deposit.
However, in the process of effecting the release of the balance payment of $265 million, the corporation was adjudged to have failed to pay within stipulated time. CIL lost both the licence and $20 million deposit. He later went on to bid for the Second National Operator (SNO) licence, and deposited another $20 million. This time around, he was lucky.
He won the bid in August 2002 through his Globacom Limited. The SNO has a wider range of operations as Globacom has the right to operate as a national carrier, operate digital mobile lines, serve as international gateway for telecommunications in the country and operate fixed wireless access phones.
Adenuga's estate business and company shares traverse several countries in Western European countries, North America and the Middle-East

I'm Obsessed: Eames Rocker Chair
April 1, 2011 Leave a comment
Herman Miller – The Eames Rocker
Plastic, plywood, play. The fertile, curious minds of Charles and Ray Eames invented the modern American furniture vocabulary. Along with other visionaries like George Nelson, the Eameses brought new materials, new processes, and a new attitude to interior design. And they often did it by playing with form and structure in an inventive, childlike way. Charles encouraged experimentation among his staff, saying that he wanted "to have people working on useless projects. These have the germ of new concepts." —HermanMiller.com

Shortly after coming to power, Lady Thatcher was sent a breakdown of pay grades which showed that some administrative staff in Brussels were paid almost six times as much as MPs.
Even the lowest-paid manual workers in Brussels earned £6,727, while the top administrators were paid £52,529, compared with an MP's £9,450 at the time.
Referring to a manual pay grade, Lady Thatcher's parliamentary private secretary, John Stanley, wrote her a note saying: "Apparently D4 manuals are valued rather more highly than MPs at Westminster!"

Palm Oil contains the hard to find toctrienols, which are members of the vitamin E family. The common form of vitamin E, tocopherol, has long been used to treat many skin ailments and is found in many anti-aging products. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant that helps the skin to fight free radicals that damage the skin and cause fine lines and wrinkles. A stronger antioxidant than tocopherols, toctrienols have been proven to be more effective in preventing aging and damage from free radicals. Used topically, as with tocopherol, toctrienols are able to penetrate deep into the skin's layers to enable healing and protection from the base up.

Spearmint Essential Oil
Spearmint essential oil is a refreshing oil. Skin care products containing spearmint oil are effective to treat skin problems such as pimples and acne.
PLA soap is fabulous. The bar lasts a long time, it lathers really well and retains its smell. It feels really nice on your skin and leaves a nice smooth silky finish on your skin. I have eczema and I am allergic to many many things but this soap did not irritate my skin at all. I will definitely purchase this product again.

|About the Contributor(s)
|Jan & Mike Berenstain
Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bear books in 1962. Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too. Though Stan died in 2005, and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.

The adorable creatures from Bear Country act out ten different stories from the Old and New Testament. It begins with Creation and then moves on to Noah building the ark. After that is David meeting Goliath in an epic showdown. Then we venture with Daniel into the lion's den. Our stories continue on into the New Testament with the birth of Christ. The next story is from Luke chapter 10 and teaches us about being a good neighbor. From there we fast forward to Palm Sunday and go with Jesus as He makes His triumphal entry into Jerusalem where He will later be crucified. But fear not because the last story reminds us that He Is Risen!
I like the padded board book style for those chubby little hands of my grands. It makes the book so much more durable and allows them to pour over the contents again and again without worrying about damaging the pages. It is also compact enough to take on a car trip or tuck in a purse for a waiting room distraction. If you have little ones this would be the perfect addition for their growing library.
I received a copy of this book to facilitate my review. (Posted on 8/27/2015)

This is a board book which is always good for the little hands that tend to tear delicate pages. Jax likes to hold the book in his cute, chubby little hands and turn the pages himself.
This isn't typical of the Berenstain Bears books because while it shows the bears as the characters in the illustrations, they are appearing as characters in the Bible, not as themselves. This is basically a Bible storybook but everyone in it is a Bear!
This isn't the entire Bible but some of the main stories that kids usually learn first as little ones such as the story of creation, the birth of Jesus and his Resurrection.
I like that the illustrations are just like the regular Berenstain Bear books so people who love them and are fans will appreciate the illustrations. However, they are not those typical of Bible storybooks. As I mentioned, they are all bears as the characters and they are kind of light and muted in color whereas most storybooks are brighter.
As a fan of the bears, I loved sharing The Berenstain Bears Storybook Bible for Little Ones with Jax and that he is now a fan of the bears and has started pulling them off the shelf to read! (Posted on 8/26/2015)

This little Bible storybook was written by Jan and Mike Berenstain. Mike also created the precious pictures throughout. This book contains eight of the stories from the Bible, written to thrill and amuse the littlest toddler. There's "Creation", "Noah Builds an Ark for God", "David Meets Goliath", "Daniel in the Lion's Den", "The Birth of Jesus", "The Good Neighbor", "Jesus in Jerusalem", and "He is Risen". Of course, Mike drew all of the characters as the beloved Berenstain Bears, that we all remember and adore.
This is a board book that is appropriate for tiny hands, and has bright, colorful pictures for tiny eyes. I'd recommend it!!

It is a padded board book that contains short summaries of most of the most popular Bible stories. It has good sturdy pages perfect for little hands and it teaches them the most important things in life. Such as loving God, loving others, and trusting in Him. Our children learn throughout the pages in this precious book how others honored God and how they can too!
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review through my participation on the Z Blog Squad. (Posted on 8/18/2015)

My Overall Review: The book covers major Bible stories in language that is easy to understand. It includes creation, Noah's ark, David and Goliath, Daniel in the Lion's Den, the birth of Jesus, the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus in Jerusalem, and the resurrection of Jesus. The lessons in this book are an excellent foundation for teaching Christian faith. Even at a young age, a child can understand that, as the book says, "God made everything!" I thought it was an excellent choice for the writers to use the Berenstain Bears in the story illustrations but not to actually include the bears in the written text itself. That way the child does not have to try to mentally switch back and forth between fictional bears and the Bible truths. Parents could actually show young children the bears and say the bears are cartoon characters, and then say the Bible stories that are being read are true. The book is just the right size for little hands to hold (about 5x7).

I have just bought an ADC-11 for a project having used other Pico products in the past. I am however a little disappointed by the documentation which I would have thought would have been 'mature' by now.
In my opinion the User's Guide for the ADC-11 is a bit 'thin' on information as to how to connect the device to the real world.
Besides not having any information on the analogue connections on the 25 Way 'D' connector it does not describe, for example, how to connect a battery to an input for simple testing. Whilst obvious to a knowledgable user a beginner could easily 'stumble' and perhaps even damage the device ?
The ADC-11 Terminal Board User Guide does provide more information but again, perplexingly, does not show pin numbers for the analogue connector or even a (useful) complete circuit diagram for the board.
I would suggest that at a minimum a simple pictorial diagram of the typical connection to a signal source should be shown ?
Other Comments
1) The importance of grounding is not stressed particularly with regard to PCs, laptops, mains earthing and ground loops. 'Noise on earth connections' is listed but not described. Safety Grounding hints at the possible problems but with little explanation.
2) Signal filtering is not described in detail. Mention is made of 'try a capacitor' together with a formula for calculating capacitor values but this deserves further practical explanation and perhaps even a circuit diagram or two.
3) Although current sensing and measurement is described in the Terminal Board Guide it is not stressed that the sense resistor must be in the ground leg. A discussion of power dissipation in the current sense resistor could be useful ?
4) It might be a good idea to show how the inputs can be protected from over-voltage by means of simple clamp diodes ?
5) Digital Outputs (D0,D1) - described in User's Guide in software section but little hardware specification. Not specified as to output capability in Terminal Board Guide - just as'low-current'?
6) Reverse polarity, AC signals, aliasing and DC with superimposed AC signals should again perhaps be discussed ?
I just get a general feeling that the software author wrote the manual ?

A council building has been slammed after inspectors revealed it was putting employees at risk.
More than 70 staff from the Community Learning Disability Team work at Parkside House in Elton Street, Wallsend.
But a probe by North Tyneside Council's health scrutiny sub-committee revealed the building is in a run-down state and too small to house the full workforce.
Speaking at a meeting of the council's cabinet, Coun John Stirling said: "It is not the sort of place you would expect 79 people to work. If all of them were at work at the same time it would be completely overcrowded.
"The plaster was coming off the walls and the window frames were rotten. It was not a nice atmosphere. There is a fire exit on the top floor but that is no good for everyone to get out of. For those on the downstairs floor the only way to get out would be jump out of one of the windows."
