Rhode Island Glucagon Bill Testimony
For several years, legislators in Rhode Island have been working to pass a bill that will allow non-medical staff to administer glucagon to a child at school. Sue Hunt and her son Steve testified at a hearing on the bill on March 30, 2005. Here is their testimony.
March 30, 2005
Glucagon Hearing
Sue Hunt's Testimony
Mom of type 1 diabetic
"My son goes back to school tomorrow. What do I do?" The diabetic educator who had spent the last four days at Hasbro teaching us how to care for our newly diagnosed diabetic child replied: "Teach the adults in his school day how to care for him and let him live his life". Armed with this knowledge and reams of information I set out to do just that. As an employee of a public school system I knew the federal laws that protected children with disabilities yet I found out over and over and over again that diabetes is different. The emergency, life saving treatment that my son would need in the event of a severe hypoglycemic reaction was not allowed. Diabetes has slipped through the cracks.
Good Afternoon. My name is Sue Hunt and I'm Steve's Mom. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 5 years ago at the age of 8. My interest in speaking to you all today stems from the fact that we need to right a wrong. Presently, kids with diabetes are not protected from the potentially devastating effects of un-treated low blood sugar reactions when they are at school. I'm one of the lucky ones. When my son leaves for school every day I know he is safe as my sons private school has worked diligently with Stephen and I to do what is necessary to manage his diabetes and keep him safe. Five non-medical staff in his school are trained and reported to me the week he was diagnosed, "Sue, tell us what we need to do and we will take care of him". And they have.
What about the hundreds of RI students who's parents DON"T feel safe when their kids leave in the morning?
In the event of an emergency, children who suffer from severe allergies will get a shot of epi by one of several trained non-medical staff. Children who go into cardiac arrest will have the right to have trained non-medical staff use an automatic defibrillator. Children who are choking will have the Heimlich maneuver performed on them to save their life. Any one who helps these kids will be protected by Good Samaritan Laws.
Children with diabetes will wait until 911 arrives to hopefully administer glucagon or start a glucose IV to bring them out of a seizure or a coma. When the brain is deprived of glucose, which is what happens in a hypoglycemic reaction, it's equivalent to the body not getting oxygen. This is why the symptoms begin with shakiness, weak legs, dizziness,anger and confusion and can progress to convulsions, coma and death. The brain is missing what it needs to function.
Children who normally recognize the S/S of their blood sugar dropping can become un-aware of the symptoms if they suffer 3 low blood sugars in a week. Diabetes is a roller coaster under the best conditions and kids have lows all the time. Their condition can go from stable to life threatening in an instant.
I'd like to share one such instance that happened to my son. It was shortly after dinner and Steve had tested his blood, which was in a good range, eaten his dinner and taken his shot of insulin. He was at the kitchen table doing homework when I went to another part of the house for about 10 minutes to fold laundry. When I returned, I found him in another room on his hands and knees, rocking back and forth and gasping for air. He had dropped so low so quickly that he couldn't react. I rolled him over after grabbing his supplies and administered glucose gel between his cheek and gum. He was combative, crying and totally resistant to my efforts though he knew it was what he needed. Luckily, this measure raised his blood sugar and shortly after, he had no memory of the event. I can't imagine if this had happened to a child in school who would have to wait.
Another story involved a good friend, a fellow employee of our school system. She had become hypoglycemic unaware and was quickly in a serious state. I was sitting behind her on a bench in the nurse's office to protect her from smashing her head against a cement wall, as her flailing was uncontrollable. She had glucagon but it was with her things and her job required changing classrooms in three different buildings frequently. In fact, the nurse was there and didn't know what to do except call 911. When they arrived and her BG tested at 15, I asked why they were delaying using glucagon or starting a glucose IV. They stated they didn't carry glucagon on the rig as it has a 6-month shelf life and is expensive. My friend was getting even lower. I asked why the hell they weren't starting an IV. They replied that their skill level didn't allow it and they had to wait for another rescue. When that rescue arrived they still delayed as she was now extremely combative. I screamed at them to do something. They replied it's easier to get the line in after they pass out. Unbelievable. This is the protocol we're relying on? In the meantime 35 minutes had elapsed. Thankfully there wasn't a tragic outcome. Do we need a tragic outcome to right this wrong? A glucagon kit should have been hanging up on the wall next to the epi pen and the automatic defibrillator that day. Glucagon was designed to be easily learned by non-medical people. It's the first thing I show anybody who has my son in their care. Diabetes has slipped through the cracks.
Nine other states have already passed glucagon legislation. My son and I beg of you to protect RI's kids before there is a tragic outcome.
Diabetes is on the rise. It is my hope that no one at this table is ever in the position of putting their child or grandchild on a school bus and praying nothing happens on that bus or at school because right now, no one will help.
Thank you

Glucagon Hearing
Stephen Hunt's Testimony
13 year old insulin dependent diabetic
Good Afternoon. My name is Stephen Hunt and I'm 13 years old. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes five years ago and believe me, it isn't fun! I'm one of the lucky ones because my school has done everything my Mom and I have wanted to manage my diabetes and keep me safe.
What brings me here today are the hundreds of kids with diabetes in RI schools who aren't safe. My Mom has told me that kids who have serious allergies can get a shot from an epi pen at school from several people who have been trained to do this for them. It's a life saving treatment. I just want to let you know that kids with diabetes can be in big trouble really fast at school and we need someone to give us GLUCAGON.
These are the supplies that I need to bring with me everywhere I go every day of my life, to live (empty pack). These are glucose tablets that I take when I begin to feel low. My symptoms of a low blood sugar are shakiness, weakness in my legs, confusion and anger. If I feel really low I'll drink a juice because it will raise my blood sugar more quickly. If I'm so low that I don't cooperate my Mom or teacher will have to use this (glucose gel). They would squeeze this between my cheek and gum and rub it in where it would dissolve and quickly raise my blood sugar. The next step if these measures don't help me is glucagon (hold up glucagon and demonstrate).
It is easy to give this and it could save a life. I beg of you to pass this law so kids all over RI with this terrible disease will get the emergency treatment they need.
This is what I need someone to do for me if I can't swallow or I've passed out. I can't wait for 911. I could have seizures, go into a coma or DIE!
I've been involved in after school programs and there isn't a nurse. My school didn't even have a nurse the first year I was diagnosed and now we have one but she's only there part time.
I'm one of the lucky ones. Don't you think it's time to help the rest?
Thank you for your time today.

Union leaders are warning that Air Canada is on a course to divert aircraft maintenance work to lower-cost plants in the United States and El Salvador.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers says hundreds of Canadian jobs are at risk of being transferred to foreign aircraft repair companies over a 10-year period, if Air Canada's heavy maintenance contract is allowed to expire in mid-2013.
The union cautions that jobs in Canada at Aveos Fleet Performance Inc., formerly named Air Canada Technical Services, are at risk of being shifted to lower-wage jurisdictions at competing repair shops in places such as Nashville, Plattsburgh, N.Y., and Rome, N.Y.
Lenders have majority ownership of Montreal-based Aveos while Air Canada's stake is estimated by the union to be 17 per cent.
Marcel St-Jean, president of IAMAW Local 1751 in Montreal, said he's especially concerned about Aveos' expansion plans for its Aeroman division in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador.
"We are very scared that jobs will go to El Salvador," Mr. St-Jean said. "After mid-2013, there isn't any obligation on Air Canada's part to do heavy maintenance on the planes in Canada."
In 2009, Canadian employees at Aveos earned between $1,700 and $5,500 a month, depending on their skills and experience, compared with $350 to $1,200 a month at Aeroman.
Aveos spokesman Michael Kuhn said management has repeatedly told union leaders that their fears are unfounded. "We don't have plans to move Air Canada work to the locations indicated," he said.
Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick added in a statement that "contrary to false rumours that have been circulated, Air Canada has no plans to send any airframe maintenance work to Aeroman."
Despite such assurances, the lack of job security remains the big topic among IAMAW members, said Lorne Hammerberg, the Winnipeg-based president of Local 714 of the union.
Mr. Hammerberg said most of the 540 unionized mechanic and technician jobs in Winnipeg could be eventually wiped out because Aeroman does work on narrow-body Airbus and Embraer jets - the same type of aircraft handled in the Manitoba capital.
Union officials also warn that roughly half of the 2,000 workers at Aveos's Montreal plant could see their jobs vanish if Air Canada doesn't extend its heavy maintenance contract. Many of the 580 Vancouver and 100 Mississauga, Ont., positions are also at risk, the officials says.
Dave Ritchie, IAMAW general vice-president, said on Tuesday that the union is counting on Ottawa to review the Air Canada Public Participation Act. Under the act, the Montreal, Winnipeg and Mississauga bases must remain open and active, he said.
Air Canada said in a statement that it "complies with and will remain compliant with the Air Canada Public Participation Act."
The union is sounding the alarm as the work force at Aveos undergoes a transition to being represented by an Aveos bargaining unit that will be separate from Air Canada. "This process will allow eligible employees to bid, on the basis of seniority, for positions at Air Canada and Aveos. The transition process also provides those employees with seven different options when choosing which employer they prefer and deals with pension matters for employees transitioning to Aveos," Air Canada said.
While Air Canada accounts for most of the work at Aveos in Canada, the maintenance, repair and overhaul company also has other contracts, including one for Yellowknife-based Canadian North's Boeing 737s. Aveos subcontracts certain heavy maintenance, called "C checks," to Costa Rica, said Canadian North president Tracy Medve.Report Typo/Error

Horner touted as Ecclestone replacement
Christian Horner appears to be the only viable candidate to replace Bernie Ecclestone should the F1 boss lose his upcoming court case in Germany, according to the Times.
Ecclestone was last week cleared of charges he knowingly undersold F1 shares at the High Court, and at present remains safe from the sack despite the unflattering statement of the judge that he was "untruthful and unreliable". CVC Capital Partners, the private equity group that has the controlling shareholding in F1, is reported to be resolutely against firing Ecclestone, unless found guilty of bribery in Munich this April, as there is no viable alternative.
But while CVC chairman Donald Mackenzie, who has the ruling share of the Delta Topco holding company, remains committed to Ecclestone for the time being, it appears a consensus is forming around Horner should Ecclestone lose his court case or retire in the near future.
"There is no doubt Christian fits the bill," a Delta Topco board member told the Times. "Bernie is unique and no one can do what he has been doing. Simple as that. We need someone with experience of Formula One, someone who can deal with television rights and commercial contracts. The fact that Bernie would train Christian up, in effect, looks like a solution to many of the directors."
Horner's appointment is not as simple as it might seem. It might be opposed by the likes of Ferrari president - and Delta Topco board member - Luca di Montezemolo, and is believed to be frowned upon by many of the top teams on the grid.
Much of Horner's reputation comes from the manner he has harnessed Red Bull owner's Dietrich Mateschitz's fortune to win the drivers' and constructors' championships in the last four seasons, while he is also known to be a close Ecclestone ally.

The Vikings are expected to be in the market for a veteran quarterback to provide some guidance for Christian Ponder and perhaps start ahead of him to begin the season.
Could that player be Kyle Orton?
Mike Klis of the Denver Post reported this morning that the Broncos are going to place Orton on the trading block. Trades were allowed to be made as of 9 this morning.
Writes Klis: Orton has made it clear that after posting the two best seasons of his pro career, throwing 41 touchdown passes against 21 interceptions for the Broncos, he doesn't want to serve as backup to the unproven Tim Tebow.
There was some speculation early this offseason that the Vikings might deal for Orton, but that was tied to the fact Minnesota interviewed former Broncos coach Josh McDaniels for its offensive coordinator's job. McDaniels ended up going to St. Louis and the Vikings hired Bill Musgrave.
Coach Leslie Frazier hasn't been willing to commit to whether the Vikings will pursue a veteran quarterback but it would make sense given that Ponder has missed the entire offseason program because of the NFL lockout. Asking him to start on Sept. 11 at San Diego would be a tall order.
But the Vikings need to be careful because they want to develop Ponder as soon as possible and getting a veteran who has little interest in helping a rookie wouldn't be a wise move. If Orton doesn't want to play behind Tebow, then he isn't going to want to play behind Ponder, so it could be uncomfortable if at some point this season Frazier decided he wanted to make a switch from the veteran to the rookie.
This is going to be a crazy day in the NFL as teams are allowed to begin talking to free agents this morning, as well as signing drafted and undrafted free agents. Veterans can't sign until Friday but there should be plenty of deals in place by the end of the day.

Let's be honest writers write because they love writing but that's not the sole motivation for everyone. Shakespeare and Dickens wrote to make a living and did it very successfully! The majority of us dream of being as successful as J.K.Rowling or Amanda Hocking whatever we might say to the contrary. One thing these writers had in common was they were all pretty good at story telling and they weren't bad wordsmiths either! I don't know how you compare but I do know that creating a series and building a brand is almost essential for ongoing success.
When I was a boy the Just William books by Richmal Crompton were my favourites. On every cover there was a picture of a scruffy boy with a striped hat. He was instantly recognisable. Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Secret Seven series were hugely successful. They were constructed around:
- Distinctive and engaging characters who appeared in each book.
- Story lines within the same genre.
- Story lines that were often progressive or developed a recurring theme.
- Easily identifiable cover images.
"Hold on!" you cry, "I haven't finished my first book yet!"
Not a problem. Having decided to embark upon writing a series of books your brain will subconsciously begin to identify:
· Characters and their potential for development.
Rather than a hindrance the decision to write a series can provide creative motivation.I have to mention the possible downside of course.
The authors already referred to happen to be very good authors. The danger is if your first book sucks then the concept of a series becomes counter productive. But isn't that the risk we all take when we put our work out there? I don't know if anyone will consider 'Billy and The Pit ofShadows' worth reading but it won't stop me writing it. Even if it doesn't sell one copy I will have enjoyed the experience tremendously and feel a great sense of satisfaction at having completed it.
The other thing that might be considered a downside is the cost of creating a cover for your book. It is absolutely vital you have a compelling and striking cover. Many people purchase a book because they are attracted by the cover alone. It is also important you find someone right for your book. This is a process I am currently engaged in. Elance provides a list of artists and graphic designers who display a showcase of their work. It is worth taking a good look until you find someone you feel can create the image that reflects your work. A Google search will also throw up a list of graphic designers and artists.
I hope I have encouraged you to get cracking on your killer series.
* * *
We were hoping to launch ETO our new fiction anthology for Welsh writers today on St David's Day, March 1st. Unfortunately we underestimated the amount of work involved and will now launch in mid March.
The good news is it should be well worth waiting for.

President Trump has been burning through Obama's pathetic legacy like it's soaked in lighter fluid, folks! The 45th President of United States ran on a platform that was simple as it was dear to the hearts of working-class Americans: fix our broken immigration system, tear down the bloated mess known as Obamacare, and get the economy up and running again.
On all three fronts, President Trump has been a resounding success. On Thursday the Department of Labor published some statistics that has conservatives smiling and all the Obama liberals running for cover.
It looks like our commander–in-chief has broken another record!
Check it out per Daily Caller:
The total number of workers who receive unemployment insurance fell to the lowest level in 44 years at the end 2017, the Department of Labor (DOL) reported Thursday.
During the last week of 2017, 1.87 million people received unemployment insurance benefits, the lowest total of recipients since Dec. 1973, the DOL reported. The advance seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate was 1.3 percent for at the end of January.
The number is a positive sign for the economy.
The total number of people claiming unemployment benefits in the U.S. has continued to decline since President Donald Trump took office. During the last week of April 2017, 1.9 million people received unemployment insurance benefits.
Unemployment benefits are available for up to 26 weeks in most states and pay eligible workers up to $450 per week.
And even liberal propaganda rag the Washington Post had to concede Trump a win on this one. Check it out:
With those numbers in hand, we can now compare Trump's first year in office to his predecessors'. And in that comparison, Trump comes out looking pretty good.
Relative to the figure from January in each president's first year in office (excluding those presidents who took office after a death or resignation), Trump saw one of the biggest percentage-point drops in the unemployment rate.
The only presidents with larger drops were Bill Clinton in 1993 (a decline of 0.8 points) and Jimmy Carter in 1977 (down 1.1). Both of those presidents, though, ended their first years with much higher unemployment rates, both over 6 percent.
If the election was held today,
would you re-elect President Trump?

Steve Madden Platforms&Wedges, Clogs Shoes Review: Leather, Suede, Synthetic; Dress, Casual, Corporate
Steve Madden Platforms
In many ways, platforms and wedges form a transitional category in Steve Maddens shoes selection: boots&booties, pumps&heels, and even sandals departments offer models that stand on a platform, and thus overlap with the platform design.
Moreover, as a result of this universality, footwear from this segment can suit a range of occasions – dress, casual, corporate – and seasons, including a rainy winter (in particular the warm shearling booties) and a hot summer (sandals, slip-ons, and even clogs).
Design also becomes subject to modification and experimentation. Quite a few collections arrive in laced mode while retaining a complimentary sling; some lines opt for a more enclosed slip-on architecture, or conversely, a leisurely strapped layout. As in the majority of Steve Madden shoes, leather in all its kinds and suede become the primary materials, various fabrics and synthetics also contributing to the inventory.
Finally, while several fashion and chic models can feature a bright pink, purple, or vermeil color, most of the shoes display a relatively conservative palette – black, light and dark brown, neutrals (off-white, peach, beige), gray, and other calm shades. Let's take a closer look:
Heels and Pumps constitute the highest standing items Steve Madden offer, some heels rising over five inches, being combined with an inch platform to support the toe. Here, however, platforms are only secondary to the overall aesthetic; it is the clogs and the sandals that give the elevation more space to leave a unique mark. Kattrina, Bevv, Staciee, Fantasha, Elevaate, and other collections.
Booties and Sandals provide a respectively closed and open structure to rest on the platform. Without a heel, the latter essentially transforms into a wedge – this is how the brand describes some of their platform category shoes as well – a more stable and casual oriented, yet still notably high footwear. Snobbie, Zephyrr, Zinah, Vinitta, Ronson, Harmonyy, Nanciee, Caameo, Chelseey, A-Eliska, A-Rumer, and other lines.
Wedges can be some of Steve Madden's most curious and interesting designs, blending elements borrowed from other patterns, and mixing them into unexpected, sophisticated, and even ironic wholes that comprise more than the sum of their components. This section (Monarchy, Wiicked, Monsterr, Narri, Tyrella, Warrick, and more) proves the company's appreciation for creativity and fashion – and serves to bolster the brand's enduring popularity.

'mera' means my in hindi. So - mera kitchen means my kitchen. Recipes featured here are what I cook at home in my kitchen.
Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Fish (Cod) in mustard sauce
500 grams Cod fillets (boneless)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 big onion - roughly chopped
1 tomato - roughly chopped
4 green chillis - roughly chopped
1 inch ginger - roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon ajwain /carom seeds
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon dhania jeera powder
salt to taste
2 tablespoons mustard oil (I used vegetable oil)
Cut the cod fillets into 1 inch pieces. Marinate in the next three ingredients and let it stand for 15 minutes. In a frying pan, add 1/2 tablespoon oil and fry the cod pieces till you get a nice sear on the outside. Remove and let it sit in a plate.
In the same frying pan, add the rest of the oil. When it gets hot, add the mustard seeds and let it splutter. Then add the onions and fry till they turn a nice golden in color. To this add the ajwain, tomoato, green chillis and ginger and saute for about 10 to 15 minutes till the tomatoes get all mushed up. Add the chilli powder, turmeric powder, dhania jeera powder and salt and cook for about 2 to 3 more minutes. Let this mixture cool. Once the mixture is cooled, bled it to a paste in a grinder/blender. Add it to the frying pan along with 1/2 cup water and let the mixture boil. Be careful to keep the pan covered as this mixture will splutter. After about 5 minutes, lower the heat and add the seared fish pieces. Mix carefully and cover and let the mixture simmer on medium heat for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve hot with phulkas / lucchis (puris)/ Dal & Bhaat (Rice)
I do not know if this is the most authentic way of making the famous Bengali fish in mustard sauce, but this was my quick version.
Moreover, Bengali's, use Rohu/Hilsa or other river fish to make their curries. I had cod in my fridge and hence used that.

Bloons 2: The addictive balloon popper returns
If you play free online games, you've probably played Bloons. Bloons is the puzzle game that has you firing darts at floating balloons. Pop enough balloons and you move onto the next stage. Along the way you and your dart throwing monkey encounter challenging levels, neat powerups, and of course, a ridiculous amount of balloons. (Who has time to inflate all of those anyway?)
Now with millions of players and over a billion plays, Bloons game developer NinjaKiwi, is ready to release a sequel. I'm not talking about Bloons Tower Defense 2, Bloons Tower Defense 3, More Bloons, Bloons Jr, Hot Air Bloon, or any of the wannabe Bloons sequels. I'm talking about the only legitimate sucessor to Bloons: Bloons 2.
Continue reading to watch the Bloons 2 trailer and check out more of the new Bloons 2 features.
Right off the bat, it's evident Bloons 2 is going where no Bloons game has gone before. In just the trailer we can see all new dart powerups, laser monkeys, planes, special bloons and more. Check out the pictures below for info on the new features.
In the original Bloons we saw a few types of special bloons. Ice Bloons, Mine Bloons, and Pin Bloons were among the variety. In Bloons 2 even more special bloons mix up the levels, including the Camouflage Bloons pictured above. As shown in the trailer, these bloons appear then slowly disappear before reappearing again. The catch is they can only be popped when visible, so time your shots well.
Another special bloon in Bloons 2 is the Bee Bloon. After popping a Bee Bloon, a swarm of bees will surge around your cursor, popping every bloon in its path with their pointy stingers. Pretty cool in my opinion.
Not only that, but in Bloons 2 you are going to see way more moving bloons, making dart accuracy and timing crucial. Let's hope our monkey pal has been practicing in his time off.
Another awesome Bloons 2 powerup is the Monkey Ace fighter pilot. When he's not busy doing barrel rolls or protecting the skies of the Adriatic, you can call him in to help do some serious balloon popping. As shown in the trailer, the Bloons 2 Monkey Ace will fly in a straight line, chopping up bloons with his propeller. What a show off...
The final new bloon we saw was the Blooming Bloon. When popped, each of these bloons spawns seven more bloons in the shape of a beautiful balloon flower. How relaxing.
And take a look at those graphics! Lush green fields as far as the eye can see, big fluffy clouds cruising overhead and an azure sky of deepest summer. Perfect balloon popping weather. What a shame to think winter is around the corner.
The original Bloons featured a mere 50 levels and a rather dull level selection screen. Bloons 2 takes that idea and discards it completely. Not only are there now double the amount of levels (96 levels not including extra secrets), but there is now an awesome Bloons 2 world map in place of that boring table. Unlock levels, find secrets, and explore the world of Bloons 2. Best of all, the new world map will save your progress. Woohoo! No more starting over every time.
Finally, new to Bloons 2 is the Super Monkey. Remember in the original Bloons when sometimes you just couldn't pop enough bloons? You would get so frustrated throwing dart after dart, hoping to somehow hit a few more. Well frustration be gone! In Bloons 2, when all else fails, just call up your pal the Super Monkey. He'll unleash a laser barrage and KA-BOOM, before you know it the level has been completely obliterated and you've moved on to the next level.
To unlock your very own Super Monkey click here.
The original Bloons has been out for several years and despite the love it gets, it is getting a little stale. Dedicated players have been caught saying it might even be boring. The fact is, it's dated and we're pumped about getting an updated sequel in the next few days.
And remember, I've only given you a taste of what the Bloons 2 feast has to offer. For example, I didn't even tell you guys about reverse gravity Bloons 2 levels. I know you're dying to know, but you'll have to wait and play the full game.
Bloons 2 will be released September 24. So whether you're a longtime fan or a new Bloons recruit, you better put your dart throwing skills to the test and check out the full game.
To help pass the time until the release, dust off those darts and play the original:

Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser. II, Vol. II: The Ecclesiastical History of Socrates Scholasticus.: Prefatory Note.Early Church Fathers Index Previous Next
p. vii
Prefatory Note.
The basis of the present edition of Socrates Ecclesiastical History is the translation in Bagsters series mentioned in the Introduction, Part IV. The changes introduced, however, are numerous. The translation was found unnecessarily free; so far as the needs of the English idiom require freedom no fault could, of course, have been found with the translation; but the divergences from the original in multitudes of cases were not warranted by any such need; they were more probably induced by the prevailing style of rhetoric common in the days when the translation was made. The change which has gradually come about in this respect called for modifications in the present edition. Many more might have been introduced without damage to the work. But it was felt that the scope and purpose of the edition only called for the most necessary of these changes.
In the preparation of the notes the editions of Hussey and Reading, containing Valesius and Readings annotations, were freely used. Whenever a note was taken bodily from these, it has been quoted and duly credited. It was thought best, however, usually to condense and reduce the number and bulk of these notes and introduce sparingly such new notes as were suggested by more recent study in ecclesiastical history.
The Introduction is almost altogether dependent on the literature quoted in Part I. The writer claims no original discovery respecting Socrates or his work. The facts had been diligently collected by his predecessors; he has simply rearranged them and put them into expression such as, to his mind, suits the requirements of the plan of the series.

Geoff Johns Teases Another DC Comic Book Show Is Coming…
Geoff Johns, DC's Chief Creative Officer and comic book writing legend posted an interesting tweet a few days ago, about things he's looking forward to for DC in 2017. At number 5 on his list was this:
5) More #DCTV @CW_TheFlash @CW_Arrow @Gotham @TheCW_Legends @LuciferonFOX @TheCWSupergirl and many more! One which will be announced soon…
— Geoff Johns (@geoffjohns) January 1, 2017
Interesting… We know there are a number of DC shows besides the one's he mentions that are coming, or in development.
We know we are getting Powerless for NBC (premieres 2nd February 2017 in the US), which is a comedy starring Vanessa Hudgens & Alan Tudyk about Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises, who develop products to help us normal, non-powered folk, feel a little bit safer in a supervillain (and superhero) filled world.
There is a pilot order for Krypton on Syfy (US) from David S. Goyer and Damian Kindler, about the life of Superman's grandfather as a young man on the doomed planet. Also Black Lightning for Fox (US) from Flash/Arrow's Greg Berlanti, about a retired vigilante who is pulled back into the fray when his daughter gets into trouble. And Scalped also has a pilot order, which Johns himself is developing with Star Trek Beyond co-writer Doug Jung. This is a modern-day crime story set on a Native American Indian reservation, based on the comic book by Jason Aaron.
Currently in development there are shows based the DC/Vertigo titles DMZ from Mad Men's Andre and Maria Jacquemetton; An adaptation of Frank Miller's Ronin; Supernatural & Timeless creator Eric Kripke is writing a comic book called Amped for DC/Vertigo, which is also in development as a TV series for USA Network; NBC are developing a Red tv series, and FX are developing a show based on the Y: The Last Man comic book.
However, from Geoff Johns tweet, it implies this is something new, and given the shows he listed, possibly something more mainstream than those less well known DC/Vertigo titles. Could it be that CW is looking to go 5 nights a week with their Superheroes? Personally, I would love to see some of the actual Bat family get mixed into the main DC-Berlantiverse. Birds Of Prey would be a popular choice I'm sure, but personally I'd love to see a Grayson series come to CW. We will have to wait and see what 2017 brings!

"With this solution, Fujifilm is helping our customers increase revenue and expand their product offering."
The Xerox 700 Digital Color Press can print a wide range of photo book sizes adding to the line-up of products commercial and professional photo labs can offer their customers.

What is it?
Scalp eczema is the condition in which the scalp becomes dry, itchy, red and sore. It may develop at any age and any genders. The condition of itchy and flaky scalp in the babies is also called cradle crap.
- Red
- Flaky
- Itchy
- Sore
- Ear discharge
- Hair thinning
- Dandruff
- Itching behind ears
In severe cases, it spreads to the surrounding areas such as forehead, behind ears, external ears and down to face, neck and shoulders.
Exact causes are not known. However, there are some triggers which can flare it up. Managing the triggers can calm down the situation to some extent.
The National Society for Eczema recommends medicated shampoo for the treatment of seborrhoeic eczema. The medicated shampoo normally contains salicylic acid and tar. These shampoos should be used regularly unless the condition disappears.
The NSE also emphasises to leave the shampoo for at least three to five minutes on the scalp before washing it. It also recommends not to rub the scalp too hard during washing as it may aggravate the condition further.
If you opt for any medicated shampoo, it is always best to follow the manufacturer instructions.
Prolonged use of shampoos containing chemicals may not be very good for the scalp and may even cause damage to the hair. Some people have reported partial hair loss after using such shampoos for a long time.
Cream, lotion or ointment containing steroids are also effective in treating the condition. These normally cannot be obtained over the counter and a prescription may be required.
Medicated shampoos often contain the following chemical ingredients.
- Zinc pyrithione
- Salicylic acid
- Ketoconazole
- Tar
- Steroids.
Some shampoos contain sodium laureth sulphate or SLS. It is a very harsh additive often found in health and beauty products. Avoid this as much as you can. It can even worsen the situation by further inflaming the scalp.
Check the ingredients and read the labels carefully. Even some so called non-medicated shampoos may contain SLS and other harsh additives.
Should You See a Doctor?
Before taking any self-treatment it is always recommended to speak to your doctor. Scalp eczema, skin infection and psoriasis may look similar. It may not be possible for a layman to differentiate these conditions. If you doubt that you have anything other than dermatitis, you must see your doctor for a proper diagnosis. Once it has been diagnosed, you may talk to your doctor regarding a possible natural treatment.
Is it Contagious?
According to the Stevens Trichology Clinics, eczema on scalp, ears and face is not contagious. It can be acute or chronic. The Clinic further maintains that it is not curable but can be controlled.
So medically, it is not contagious and cannot be spread from one person to another. However, it is hereditary and can be passed down genetically.
Does it Cause Hair Loss?
According to WebMD, itchy conditions and excessive dandruff in the hair can cause hair loss. When the scalp is dry and flaky, the hair follicles grow weaker and the hair becomes thin. This ultimately cause hair loss.
Who is Affected?
Most scalp conditions develop in adulthood, but can also occur in younger children, toddlers, infants and babies.
In severe cases it can developed into infection and may look like psoriasis. However, as mentioned earlier, it is important to see a doctor to properly diagnose it.
Home Remedies and Natural Treatments
Normal shampoos or scalp washing lotions may further aggravate the situation because of some harsh ingredients. Some home and herbal remedies is a great natural way to eliminate the symptoms of itchy scalp.
Coconut Oil
Wash your head with herbal or baby shampoo with lukewarm water. Apply coconut oil to the roots of the hair and leave overnight. In the morning wash your hair again with some herbal shampoo and apply the coconut oil again but this time very lightly. You will see some positive results in a week time.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Organic apple cider vinegar with mother contains the ability to kill the fungus and bacterial growth. Mix a few drops of apple cider vinegar with castor oil and massage into your scalp. Mix a table spoon of apple cider vinegar in lukewarm water and wash your head.
Olive oil makes the follicles of the hair strong and nourishes the hair for maximum growth. It is anti-bacterial and contains many beneficial micro nutrients. Massaging your scalp with cold pressed organic extra virgin olive oil every night can improve the situation.
It is recommended to test a small amount of oil on a tiny area to note down any allergic reactions.
Epsom Salt
Progressive Health confirms that Epsom contains magnesium which blocks the inflammatory factors. It keeps the skin hydrated and helps in reduce inflammation and itching.
Mix a table spoon of salt in water and wash your scalp with it. Epsom salt naturally exfoliate and cleanses the skin and thus reduces inflammation.
Zalmay Says:
I had it for years. I would always use anti-fungal cream prescribed by doctors. It worked but the results were temporary. I just shaved my head for religious reasons. I was surprised to see how dry and sore my scalp was. For the first time, I felt the cool soothing breeze blowing over my scalp.
I tried extra virgin oil and apple cider vinegar solution directly on the scalp and it helped a lot. When the hair grew back, it was difficult to for the solution to effectively reach the skin. I shaved it again.
Before I used to wash my hair almost daily, otherwise I would be scratching my had crazy. Now, I can easily tolerate it for around 4 days!
If you are a man, shaving your head helps a lot. In case of women, I know it is a bit unnatural to think about shaving your head.
Monkey Deit Says:
Which vinegar did you use? Is it the plain white one? Malt or others?
Zalmay Says:
Not the plain white one sold in the super market. I did my research on vinegar and found that the one sold in the super market is no good at all. You will have to buy an organic brand which contains mother and should be made of cider.
For olive oil, it must be cold pressed and organic extra virgin. Again, supermarket is not the best place to buy this stuff.
Java Says:
Food allergies are the biggest enemies. I have noticed that some food aggravates my itchy scalp condition. I tried a few dietary changes and there has been a good improvement. Eliminating sugar and tomato sauce completely is my way. No sugar even in the most natural form. Avoid fruit containing sugar and go for alternatives.
Shea Says:
Do not apply the vinegar undiluted as it may inflame or blister your skin. Diluting it is more advised.
Susan Says:
I apply it undiluted on my skin without any reaction. However, you must not drink or swallow it without being mixed with water or juice etc.
Elain Says:
Have you tried homeopathy. I love homeopathic products as they have no side effects. They are natural and work on the root causes.
Dave Says:
Only those who support homeopathy says it have no side effects. My urologists strongly advised against using any homeopathic or so called alternative medicines as they could potentially harm us.
Rocky Says:
Conventional doctors do not believe in any alternative and homeopathy. They think these treatments are unscientific and based on anecdotal evidence.
Noble Queen Says:
Homeopathy either does not work or it works so slowly. It is said that it starts working after you have been dead and buried, 🙂
Pat Says:
Try a blend of oils. Mix olive oil, aragan oil, castor oil and coconut oil in equal amount and massage into the root of your hair and see the results.
Jerry Says:
I had such a bad itching behind my ears. During extreme flare up it would even crack. I would go crazy while scratching them. It would bleed and drive me mad. My doctor's anti-fungal cream would do the trick as long as I would use them.
I tried H-eczema homeopathic formula and it worked like a charm. No more itching behind the ears.
Sahf Says:
I am pregnant 8 weeks. I want to be very careful. What natural remedies can are safe during pregnancy for itchy scalp?
Batracola Says:
Best advice is see your doctor. Do not try any self-medication especially when you are pregnant.
NSCP Says:
I will show you something which is safe in all situation. It may sound somewhat daft, but trust me it helps.
Take some oats porridge in a bowl. I use oats so simple brand as it is cheaper and it works. Pour hot water into it and leave it for at least an hour so that it cools down and makes a thick paste. Cover your scalp and hair with the paste. Leave it for two hours and then wash. Please let me know how it goes.
Super Bowl Says:
Can anybody tell me where can I buy the homeopathic H-eczema formula?
Site Editor
Hi, super bowl, you can buy it here.

Blue Ridge Beaver Pond Wakeup
Spring-fed creeks (though shallow) and a big beaver pond awaited. I took Hank down to scope it out in the evening and saw fish feeding on the surface. Good deal.
Got up the next morning before dawn and it was....26 degrees. What?
The pond was frozen. Everything was frozen. I had a long sleeve shirt and a fleece vest...and jeans. Seriously. So I went back to sleep. Woke up with the sun around 6:50 and sucked it up...out into the woods. There was ice around the pond edge but I thought I might be able to pick up a few hungry fish that hadn't filled themselves the evening before. Several big bluegills responded. After I caught the first one right at dawn, the battery in both my camera and my cell phone died.
By necessity then, I began lighting up the fish as I followed the sun's path across the pond. 90 minutes of fishing ended with 12 bluegills and 10 largemouth. No giant fish, in fact none over about 13 inches. But what a great morning. I was going to push my luck (hungry wife and son possibly waking up in the cabin), but I tripped on a stump left by a beaver and ripped both knees out of my jeans and of course then fell on my face into some Chinese multiflora rose. Fishing trip done!
It was awesome to get out, and I can't wait to return...in warmer weather.

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 785032
General information
On 1st of March 2018 the 4th EU funded project "EUREMnext – Taking European Energy Manager to next efficiency levels by implementing energy audit recommendations" was launched. The aim of this 36-months project is the expansion of the EnergyManager Training to another six European countries. The training offers through practical projects the implementation of efficiency measures and a perfect preparation for the introduction of the energy management system ISO 50001.
Already for the third time the Czech Republic was given the opportunity to host the international conference EUREM focused on the preparation and implementation of energy-saving projects in companies and organizations. In November 2018, Prague will host the ninth edition of the conference. As the highlight of the conference, the prestigious EUREM Award 2018 will be awarded for the best energy-saving projects implemented within the 27 countries part of the EUREM courses.
The aim of the conference is to inform enterprises about the latest findings in the implementation of corporate energy-saving projects. The main emphasis will be placed on presenting examples taken directly from concrete projects. Thus, in November 2018 in Prague, participants will have the unique opportunity to meet with foreign experts who have long experience in the field of energy efficiency.
Within six thematic workshops taking place over two days, the latest findings in the field and interesting examples will be introduced. Additionally, more than 20 specific, already implemented projects will be presented to the participants. The six thematically intertwined workshops will enable the participants not only to deal with specific questions, but at the same time gain an overview from an energy auditor's perspective.

When is a credit card's 'fixed rate' not really fixed?
If your issuer practices universal default, nothing's set in stone
Ask a question.
Dear Credit Guy,
We had a credit card with a fixed rate for the life of the card, and paid more than the payment due and on time. Then, out of the blue, our rate was increased to 21 percent. When I called to question it, I was told it was raised due to high balances on other cards we had, which are also paid more than payment due and on time. The fixed rate on the card was 7.99 percent, so when the rate was raised it was a big jump. Why did they say the rate was fixed for as long as you have the card and keep the payments up? Also, the credit card company advised us to suspend the account in order to keep the 7.99 percent on the balance owed and to keep the payments up to date. The company said that in six months time they would do a credit check again, and if the balance has not been paid off, and they find it necessary, they can up the rate again. -- Harry
Dear Harry,
You have become the victim of a clause in some credit card agreements called universal default. To boil down the clause, it means that the card issuer can review your credit, and if it believes you have become an increased credit risk, your interest rate can be raised. The addition of the clause to your agreement, which you signed, allows the creditor to raise the "fixed" rate. Federal law allows credit card companies to change any terms they like, including changing a "fixed" rate, with just 15 days' notice.
A late payment to any of your other creditors, an increase in credit balances, opening significant additional lines of credit or going over the credit limit on an account can all trigger the universal default clause. The good news is that many consumers have complained about this practice and now not all credit card issuers include the universal default clause in their agreements.
If you cannot afford the increased payment at 21 percent, I recommend that you go ahead and agree to suspend the account to keep your interest rate at 7.99 percent. (The account will remain open as long as you have a balance, but the agreement between you and the issuer will be that you cease to use the card until the balance is paid off to keep the 7.99 percent rate.) After you have accomplished that, it would be a good idea to search for a different credit card that does not include a universal default clause in the cardholder agreement. As you found, the lowest interest rate card may not always be the best deal if the creditor includes a universal default clause.
Check for cards that would provide you with a low interest rate, allow you to transfer the balance from your old card and does not include the universal default clause. Some credit card issuers will even waive the balance transfer fee for new customers.
I would also encourage you to take a look at your other card agreements and determine if they include a universal default clause. If so, you might consider moving those balances as well.
Words of caution: Part of what is included in the calculation of your credit score is the length of time you have had credit. If you do decide to move the balances from cards that you have had a long time (more than five years), don't close the accounts or it may negatively affect your credit score.
Take care of your credit!

Abstract and addictive
Working with monotype keeps David Band coming back for more. Story and picture by Chris Beck.
About seven years ago David Band was in the midst of creating some figurative work at the studio of master printer Bill Young when fate stepped in. In an absent-minded moment he accidentally spilt ink on the paper, it ran through the press and the chance happening began a change of direction.
"I liked what I saw. So we spent weeks playing around with abstract shapes. We started off very random, but as I saw the way the shapes were coming out, I could start to plan a little bit."
Band acquired his own press and now he produces monotypes in his Port Melbourne studio. Describing his process, he points to four variations of an image on the wall. They have a figurative sense in the abstract, with oblong overlapping shapes. The colours and texture vary from piece to piece.
"I start off with a plywood sheet and I draw a fine line shape with a pallet knife. As you soak up the ink there is less and less of the image there and then I roll up a different colour in the background and add various layers of colour. So each one becomes unique. Where the ink has built up you tend to create more bulbous shapes. It depends on the weather, the pressure, depends on the mix of the ink, so a lot of chance comes into it."
Band says the possibilities are infinite. By putting dots on a canvas, for example, and then shifting them, he says, you get a new picture. "You shift them again, you get another picture. You could go on for years shifting those dots around," he says. "And each one is unique and each one is just as fantastic as the last one. That obsession of making the last one better or exploring the size, the shape of that dot, it goes on forever. And that's what's happened to these (images)."
In the past two years, Band has felt he has become too familiar with the medium, but the monotype has got a hold on him.
"Do you ever play golf? You can have a crap round, drives you insane, you're never coming back and then on the last hole you hit one of the best shots you ever hit. Oh well, better come back next week. That's what this has been like.
"When I say I'm going to get back to canvas and brushes, some interesting twist will come up and that sets me off doing another series."
Band, 45, studied at the Glasgow School of Art where he was lured by the textile department because of its use of colour - "in the painting department they were using greys and black" - and the experimentation with big shapes and form.
He established The Cloth Studio in London in 1983, a collective of four artists that specialised in designing record covers (Band designed several Spandau Ballet albums including True) and fabrics. They also exhibited in London and overseas. "At one point we were offered to set up a studio in New York by a guy we did textiles for," Band says. "We turned it down, we were daft, we were all drunk, nothing made any sense."
Then Band met a woman and followed her to Australia, dropped design and concentrated on painting. After a brief return to London he came back and lectured at RMIT for six years. "I couldn't have imagined having my own press in London and the space big enough to make the stuff. I like what I'm doing here."
There are several large Spirex books in his plan chest with hundred of drawings and sketches of ideas including grids grouping words, colours and shapes as part of a future project relating his work to poetry.
On top of the chest are small ink bottles. One day Bill Young played Band a song called There Stands the Glass by Ted Hawkins and that set him off. "I thought, what a great title and eventually I came up with seven different (etchings of) glasses; mainly wine glasses from the 17th century. I hand-colour the etchings with the inks."
Band loves music. Much of his early figurative work has its heart in the lyrics of the moody English bands he grew up with including Orange Juice, Aztec Camera and The Blue Nile.
"I love sentimentality," he says. "When I came out here I heard the song Careless by Paul Kelly - 'How many notes in a saxophone? How many tears in a bottle of gin?' - obviously great thoughts for images. I started doing small paintings based on lyrics from all his albums."
Soon he was commissioned to design the Kelly Wanted Man album featuring a boldly figurative Ned Kelly playing the guitar and several small paintings. Jazz music, most notably mellow Miles Davis and Mike Nock, plays in the background as Band works.
"I use titles of jazz songs for the work. I did a whole suite of work with reds, oranges and brown. They made me think of Miles Davis' album Sketches of Spain, so I played that a lot while I was finishing them off and named them after titles of the songs."
In New York, Band produced a show based on the Miles Davis album In a Silent Way, breaking the album into sections.
"There are two distinct sides to the album so I did one side of the gallery with white pieces and one side with dark brown pieces. The stanzas became the paintings. It would mean nothing to anyone who walked into the show but I became quite anal about it. When I hung the show the dealer would say, 'why don't we hang this one here?' and I'd say, 'you can't, that's where the trumpet comes in'."

Arshad Warsi on Geeta Basra's dance, sensual scene with MinisshaJoginder Tuteja, Glamsham Editorial
Geeta Basra is making her comeback to the big screen with an item number 'Baap Ka Maal' and one man who has some really good words reserved for her moves is Arshad Warsi. For Geeta, the compliment holds all the more meaning since Arshad has a very strong background of being a choreographer himself and now that the two have shared screen space in the film and also matched steps with each other, the outcome is being looked forward to, especially at the single screens in the North Indian belt.

"Geeta has done a superb job in the song. She has done really well and has walked a thin rope in getting it right. Reason being that 'Baap Ka Maal' is a very wild song and she had to make sure that nothing looked overtly awkward or obscene on screen,'' says Arshad.
On his part, he too seems to be dancing away like there's no tomorrow and pretty much appears to be making up for the lost time when it comes to hitting the floors. "Yes, I am playing this completely uncouth, crazy man. Jab Geeta itna achcha dance kar rahi thi toh mujhe laga ki chalo hum log bhi thoda enjoy kar lain,'' smiles Arshad.

Meanwhile one also looks forward to the 'sizzling chemistry' that he shares with Minissha Lamba in the film.
"Arrey, we are not sizzling together or anything,'' says Arshad, "There is no smooching or anything happening in the scene. Minissha is a dear friend of mine; we have worked before. Yes, there is a fiery scene between us but there is no nudity. The whole attitude of performance is so dynamic and sensual. Minissha has never done anything like that before."

Tbi 350
I was given a 1990 chevrolet cheyenne. 2500 and
finally got it home. It had sat for about 6or 8 years.
I put a battery in it, new fuel pump and filter and
primed the throttle body and it started right up, it
idled well considering the circumstances. I was
able to drive it across the subdivision and back,
about 4 miles with no problem. And again the next
day just a block and back. On the second, short trip
it began to be difficult to keep running when in
gear. (it's A/T btw) gradually but quickly it got
worse. Now it would not run unless I was
constantly and gently pumping the throttle. I have
cleaned the throttle body, tested the iac and tps
with a multimeter, adjusted ignition timing, and
looked for vacuum leaks with starting fluid. After
the timing adjustment I was able to get it to idle
but it was mildly to moderately rough. I thought I
was on my way but when I put it in gear it begins to
sputter and backfire. I can't even get it 30 feet
before it dies. It does not jump forward forcefully
or jerk it just idles down and then spits and
shutters till it dies. It will start right back up but
usually afterwards it USUALLY will not idle. It
seems there is little difference in the engine temp.
I'd like to get some some ideas for troubleshooting
but I have very basic tools and no access to most
tools needed for testing (i.e. Vacuum pump,
pressure guages, etc.) any and all useful
information will be greatly appreciated.

Well to start, possible fuel regulator in the TBI. Some how plug the return line from the TBI. Maybe find a rubber section of hose thats on the return line and pinch that. Start it up and see how it runs. Blocking this line would increase the fuel pressure indicating the regulator needs to be rebuilt.

Just as everyone knew they would, the 1980 Olympics have quickly become a two-way battle between the Soviet Union and East Germany, with only a few sparse medals remaining for the other competing nations.
The host USSR with its legion of some 350 athletes has taken the early lead as expected in both gold and overall medals. But the East Germans, just as they did at Montreal, continue to amaze the sports world by making a fight of it despite the tremendous disparity in the size of the two countries.
The figures after the first three days of competition showed the USSR with 10 gold medals and 21 overall, East Germany with five and 18 respectively, and no one else even in the ball game. Hungary stood in third place with two gold medals and five overall, while the best of the noncommunist nations were Great Britain, with a gold and two silvers, and Australia, with four bronzes.
The Soviets, in addition to scoring well in some of their traditionally strong sports such as gymnastics, weightlifting, and wrestling, are making their first major surge in men's swimming. This had been anticipated on the basis of their recent results, and of course the absence of the boycotting US team (always the dominant factor in men's swimming) opened the door even further for them.
Sergei Fesenko had the honor of becoming the first Soviet male swimmer ever to win an Olympic gold medal when he took the opening 200-meter butterfly event. Sergei Kopliakov won the 200 freestyle the next day, then Vladimir Salnikov climaxed his nation's newest breakthrough by becoming the first man ever to swim the 1,500 meters in under 15 minutes.
The East Germans, meanwhile, were dominating the women's swimming just as they had in Montreal, sweeping the first four gold medals and grabbing quite a few silvers and bronzes as well. Here, too, the boycott had a definite effect, however, for the US women had been outswimming their 1976 conquerors in recent events and had been expected to reclaim their historic No. 1 position.
Great Britain's lone gold medal winner was Duncan Goodhew, who helped break up the Soviet monopoly in the pool by winning the 100-meter breaststroke. his victory Tuesday night and that of Italy's Luciano Giovannetti in trap shooting earlier the same day were both followed by the use of the Olympic flag and anthem at the medal ceremony -- the gesture these and some other Western nations are making this year to protest the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. As far as could be determined, it was the first time the Olympic symbols had ever been used in place of national flags and anthemson such an occasion.

Fortune hopeful UCLA offers soon
DeShawn Fortune had a strong performance at the UCLA Lineman Camp on Sunday and he's hopeful an offer comes from the Bruins soon.
The Etiwanda, Calif., defensive tackle has some reasons to be encouraged since the UCLA coaching staff has become increasingly interested in him in recent weeks and definitely paid special attention to him during the weekend workout.
"They said they'll be in touch," Fortune said. "They liked what they saw (Sunday) and they liked what they saw on film so they said they'll be in touch.
"They were really just critiquing my technique, telling me things I can do better and how I can defeat that better. That's really it and just cheering me on."
The 6-foot-1, 262-pound prospect who also looked good at the recent B2G Elite Camp said an offer from the Bruins would mean a whole lot in his recruitment. Pushed to clarify what that meant, Fortune said he would "more than likely" commit if the UCLA offer comes through.
So far, only San Jose State and Weber State have offered him. Fresno State is also showing a lot of interest.
"It would mean a lot to me, a very lot," Fortune said. "Since my freshman year it's been one of my top schools. If they do offer it would be a dream come true."
Fortune, who started his junior season at middle linebacker before eventually moving to defensive tackle, said coming out to UCLA's camp was a major deal for him, a chance to show the coaches that he's a legitimate Pac-12 prospect.
"It was very motivating," Fortune said. "Just knowing how I've been overlooked for a while. People are just barely seeing my highlight tape, just really coming out and showing what I can do in person."

General information for parents
Identification cards (ID)
Everyone will require an identification card upon enrolling at the college. The identification card must be available at all times when on college premises. Access to the college cannot be granted without the card and staff may ask, at any time, to produce the card.
In line with child protection legislation we are required to inform you that this card contains a photograph which will be stored on the college's computer system for the duration of the course. Only authorised college personnel will have access to this image. If you are a parent and do not wish to your son/daughter's photograph taken, please let the college know in writing.
Lunchtime and break arrangements
The college provides a range of healthy meals and snacks which are available from the food court and restaurant.
If your son/daughter is under 16, and receives free school meals they may also be able to receive their meal at college. Their school will need to provide the name of the young person, in writing, to the college before the start of each term. Alternatively, the school may provide your son/daughter with a packed lunch or may ask your son/daughter to take receipts back to school to reclaim the money.
The college provides an adult learning environment and therefore there will be no supervision arrangements by the college at lunchtimes or during break periods or walking between sites. Young people are able to go off the premises if they choose.
In certain circumstances you may feel your son/daughter requires direct supervision. If your son/daughter is aged 16 or over please contact the Additional Learning Support Team, alternatively if your son/daughter is still at school then contact their school.
Clothing and specialist equipment
Young people in some subject areas will be required to wear protective clothing. This will be discussed at interview stage. All clothing remains the responsibility of each individual and if it is lost, then it will have to be replaced.
All personal items and equipment remain the responsibility of the young person and if lost will need to be replaced. Young people will not be allowed to participate in any workshop activity if they do not have and use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment/clothing.
The college will not accept responsibility for personal items/equipment left on the premises.
Should your son/daughter repeatedly attend college without the appropriate equipment they will not be allowed to continue on their course.
It is expected that all students give their full commitment to the chosen course of study and attend every session where possible. Many of the courses offered are continually assessed, therefore it is particularly important to attend in order to achieve the qualification.
Parents/guardians are expected to encourage attendance. It is expected that your son/daughter will attend during the college term dates, and not take holidays during term time. Should your son/daughter miss three consecutive weeks without notification being made to the college they risk being removed from the course. If your son/daughter is absent from college you must let us know.
Should your son/daughter (pre-16) leave the college premises without the prior permission of their tutor, the school will be notified as soon as it is reasonably possible. The school will follow their own procedures in relation to young people absenting themselves from sessions without school permission.
College punctuality and attendance procedures apply to all students.
Educational visits
External educational visits may be undertaken throughout the duration of the course. Notification will be sent of any such visits including details of transport to and from the visit location.
In order for your son/daughter to participate in any educational visit a consent/indemnity form will be required to be completed. These will be sent home with your son/daughter before the visit takes place.
The college is equipped with up to date IT resources to help your son/daughter with e-learning. These resources can be used to access learning materials and information sources, produce assignments or projects and organise work.
Within the Learning Resource Centre students have access to fully networked and internet enabled IT workstations. Other resources, such as scanners, graph plotters, video and digital cameras etc, are located in various learning areas throughout the college.
In addition, the college has a online system which students and staff can access from any internet enabled computer.
This allows your son/daughter to access personal files as well as course materials uploaded by tutors.
Useful student information for parents
All full and part time courses for 16-18 year olds and some 14-16 year olds are free. There may be financial support available for your son/daughter during their time at college.
The college has a range of student support services which are available during your son/daughters time at college.
To really enjoy and take advantage of their time at college, your son/daughter can get involved with a range of activities and become a spokesperson for the student body on a number of different committees – which looks great on their CV.
Information about the Student Charter, Support Services and course, its aims and objectives, and how it will be assessed are given to students in induction.
