IT services and technical support are heavily influenced by new trends. There are numerous advancements in technology that have shaped the way IT companies offer their services today. The industry has changed a lot in the past few years, thanks to innovations and ever increasing technology trends. Before 2017 ends, we expect new trends to shape up the industry. Here are trends that will make life fascinating for IT support experts.
Multi-vendor calls
Gone are the days where IT consulting companies handled their own products across all support platforms. Consultants are expected to initiate multi-vendor support systems from different platforms. Whether servicing a hardware or software, IT support staff are expected to offer solutions to several issues. They will have to offer technical assistance to support apps on Android and solve issues with iPhones. They are also required to offer knowledge to companies that use more than one operating system.
Support live chats
Support chats are critical for a business that wants to enhance its customer service. Live chat will be a big thing for IT services companies. Companies will move away from the traditional phone calls and embrace real-time and cost-effective live chats. IT support professionals will have to make sure that their clients have the best live chat systems to enhance seamless communication. The service providers will also have to integrate live chat into the customer service support systems.
Support over the cloud
Cloud computing is already a top priority for most companies. 2017 is not going to be different in any way. IT service companies will have to adjust and embrace cloud services in order to remain relevant. Software and sales systems are also going to the cloud. Support services have no any other choice but to follow. This will be a good thing for IT companies because cloud-based systems are easy to access and monitor.
Social media
Social media will be a major service channel for IT support. Companies and individuals are now using social media to ask questions and search for solutions. It is the most convenient platform out there. Facebook currently has a live stream option that allows people to interact in real-time. IT support companies will have to use such features to interact with their clients and offer solutions quickly and conveniently. Solving issues quickly will keep the clients happy and satisfied with the support. It will also prevent the issues from escalating to bigger and troublesome problems.
Do-it-yourself videos will be a major asset for IT services providers. The videos give customers accurate information on how to fix things quickly. Most companies prefer videos because they are cheap and more convenient. Technical support teams will have to embrace this channel if they want to remain in business throughout the year.

The thing that Grimm had going for it from the start is its take on a hidden community of Wesen (creatures that are the basis of fairytales) that dwells among us. This premise allows the show to subtly tackle issues of bias and fear of the unknown, while entertaining us with clever dialogue and likeable characters.
This concept is not new; better shows like The X-Files and Buffy, The Vampire Slayer have done it.
But how Grimm chooses to be different, and remain relevant for six years, is the (weird) journeys it takes with the main characters. Its marketability also lies in its two-in-one deal – a monster-of-the-week framework worked into a police procedural mould. There is network-TV-safe violence like beheading with hardly any blood.
However, Grimm also has the tendency to start up a subplot and then totally abandon it. The most wasted one in my opinion is concerning the lead character going against his nature, which gets resolved in a little over two episodes.
Conspiracies also often come and go on this show with very little fuel to keep the fire going. There was one about the Wesen royal family up to something or other, and then an evil organisation known as Black Claw also getting up to something or other. Neither one was worth going ape – or woge-ing, to use the show's terminology – over.
Let's not even start on how the characters here frequently cheat death – they must have learned a lesson or two from Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries, for sure.
OK, a bit of history. Grimm tells us the Wesen are people who look like us except when they are frightened or angry. Then their visage changes to resemble an animal – a cat, a mouse, a wolf, etc – depending on the individual Wesen's lineage. Their behaviour is also patterned after their animalistic "foundation", so to speak. For example, if the Wesen is a Mauzhertz (of mouse origin), then their default personality is to be in a state of panic, ever ready to flee and hide.
The theory here is that Wesen are the basis for the scary creatures in fairy tales, folklore and legends. For instance, the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood is of a Wesen line known as Blutbaden.
To keep the numbers of these "beasts" in check, there are the Grimms – humans with the ability to see Wesen for what they are. In the city of Portland, that Grimm happens to be homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), who quickly realises that most of his murder cases are Wesen-related. But as Nick and the audience discover, there are monsters and there are MONSTERS!
It is this distinction that ran through the series' first season, establishing Nick as a different kind of Grimm – one who adheres to today's more politically-correct code of conduct, exercising tolerance towards others. To further prove how inclusive he is, Nick befriends a Wesen – a reformed (hence vegetarian) Blutbad named Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), to be exact – in helping him solve these weird cases.
Nick's logic is that as long as the Wesen is not a killer, he lets them be. That's very civil, and a bit off the path for a Grimm, especially since he was handed all kinds of strange weapons by his aunt to aid him in his mission to kill Wesen.
In the first season, Grimm established its weekly murder procedural format, which it kept to quite consistently over its subsequent seasons.
Amazingly enough, it has done so without becoming stale, with only a few boring episodes in its six years (that's 123 episodes!). The special effects are not that super but are good enough, considering the demands of coming up with a suitably striking design for the Wesen of the week.
The series also goes far and wide to find its fantastic beasts. One episode revolved around an Aswang, a shapeshifting bloodsucker in Filipino folklore. Grimm even includes historical events and figures: Hitler, for example, was revealed as a bloodthirsty Wesen! That explains a lot.
What makes Grimm truly special is how it ensures that the development of the core characters is constantly in motion, going places where not many other series have dared to take their principal people.
When the audience first meets Juliette (Elizabeth "Bitsie" Tulloch), she is the love of Nick's life – not very memorable and kind of annoying, to be honest. This beautiful red-haired girl, with big eyes and trusting heart, turns into the exact opposite by S4, ultimately becoming the Big Bad for the show that year. S5
saw her still being a badass, only working for the good guys, and still showing zero emotion when it comes to things like love and relationships.
In that season, Juliette – or Eve as she preferred to be known – was an unstoppable force. Now in S6, her character changes again – she's neither fully Juliette nor totally badass Eve (one website has dubbed S6 Juliette as Julievette).
While her story arc may not as compelling as, say, Carol's in The Walking Dead (from abused woman to a woman you don't want to mess with, regardless of whether you have a tiger or not), hers is still an interesting arc.
Grimm pulls the same trick more than once – Big Bad Adalind Schade (Claire Coffee) is rehabilitated and becomes Nick's love interest; Captain Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz) is constantly flip-flopping between villain and good guy from season to season (which is always fun to watch, thanks to Roiz's performance).
At the same time, the series acknowledges that not every character has to travel such a demanding route. Monroe remains the same person we met at the start of the show, but his story arc is my favourite – he goes from the smartest guy (with the funniest lines) on the show to getting married to the other smartest person on the show, Rosalee (Bree Turner), who can deliver some great zingers from time to time.
The audience can always depend on Monroe and Rosalee to ground the supernatural element although, ironically, they are Wesen. Through Monroe and Rosalee's story, too, the issue of discrimination was tackled boldly as they are of two different kinds of Wesen (one is a wolf, the other is a cat).
One episode in Season Six also brings up the issue of mercy killing, which is handled with a delicate touch.
On the other end of the spectrum, Grimm did take itself a little too seriously in S5, so it's good that S6 gets back into the humour groove (the third episode Oh Captain, My Captain being a case in point).
Perhaps what is most curious about S6 is how it decides to go fully with the monster-of-the-week formula starting from its fourth episode. There are only 13 episodes this season, and 10 episodes in, I am still not sure who the Big Bad is (surely it's not a little girl!) or where the story about a magical stick is going (don't ask me, I don't understand it).
While we do not want a fairy-tale ending – that is not the point of the show, anyway – we do at least need an emotionally poignant finish where the characters are concerned (hopefully skipping over the tangled Juliette-Nick-Adalind relationship). But as of now, Grimm is carrying on like it's going to continue its story in another medium (no pun intended).
At the end of the day, Grimm has had a good run and, whether we like it or not, every book does have a last page.
Grimm airs every Saturday at 10.30pm on Universal Channel HD (HyppTV Ch 612).

It is a cliche, but for all his accolades, platinum-selling records, and millions of fans, Queen frontman Freddie Mercury was one of the more lonely figures in rock 'n' roll. The alienated rock icon is a well-worn trope, of course -- in fact, Pink Floyd's The Wall dedicated an entire album to that effect, as did the Beatles, with Sgt. Pepper's, and countless others -- but no other rock stars had Mercury's particular background.
To begin with, his given name wasn't Freddie Mercury, or even Freddie. It was Farrokh Bulsara, reflective of his parents' Parsi heritage, migrating by force to England from Zanzibar when Mercury was young. Growing up in blue-collar Middlesex, the young Freddie was ethnic at a time that was deeply resented (often referred to erroneously by racist Brits as a "Paki"), multi-toothed (he had extra incisors), audaciously flamboyant (although he didn't come out until much later), and of peculiar, if inspired, musical sensibility to go along with his sterling, four-octave voice.
As such, he, like Bowie, was a true original, but unlike the artistically impudent Bowie, who turned androgyny into its own art form, Mercury was at first confined by convention, stymied in who he was, for some years. At one point in Bohemian Rhapsody -- "Bryan Singer's" film (more on that later)-- Mercury (Rami Malek) complains to the rest of his band of his loneliness: "You have wives and children," he says, "and I have nothing."
As portrayed by Malek, Mercury is a sweet-minded man who adores his bevy of cats, and the "love of his life" Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton), the woman he married before realizing his true sexuality, but despite his showman chops and ardent fans, it took him a very long time to be comfortable in his own skin.
The film follows the band from its earliest days, before Mercury latched onto them one fateful night, and behind his pushing the envelope, recording their first couple of records and realizing a few hits along the way. It wasn't until their fourth record, the ahead-of-its-time, fearless A Night at the Opera, and its power ballad to end all power ballads, the titular "Rhapsody," with its bizarre operetta section and six minute running time (both of which highly turned off EMI executive Ray Foster -- amusingly played by Mike Myers-- who vowed the song would never be heard from again).
Of course, Foster wasn't alone in his harsh assessment. In one of the film's cheekiest moments, it recites many of the negative reviews from major music critics, including Time, The New York Times and Rolling Stone who all denigrated the song, and the album, as being a disastrous mix of styles that simply didn't work.
One of the chief pleasures of an iconic bio-pic such as this is watching the clueless early nonbelievers naysay the artists we as the audience know will become legends. The irony between what we know to be true, and what those fantastically wrong-minded dolts don't recognize gives a little zing of pleasure -- we know better! -- but that, in and of itself, is hardly enough to carry a narrative. There's a similar moment in the Johnny Cash bio-pic Walk the Line, but there the film is centered on a love-story through and through. Cash is lost, falls in love with June Carter, courts her for years, and finally confronts his demons enough to be worthy of her. It is along these lines that this film's narrative can't hold it together.
Singer, who got fired from the film weeks before the shoot ended for continued strange behavior, antagonizing actors and frequently not bothering to show up on set, left the remaining mess to be cobbled together by executive producer/stand-in director Dexter Fletcher (and editor John Ottman). The production team couldn't quite settle on an approach: Was the film about Queen and its ascendancy as a particularly unlikely rock mega band, or Mercury's personal journey of self-realization, eventually leading him to true love with a man, after he'd already contracted the AIDS virus which would eventually take his life in 1991? The film tries to have it all -- Queen's thundering stadium shows and Mercury's personal story-- but can't effectively switch from the macro to the micro without gumming up its own narrative flow.
We move from anthemic rock shows and album recordings to Mercury alone in his mansion like Charles Foster Kane, hopelessly turning his living room lamp on and off in an attempt to communicate with Mary, now his neighbor, for someone -- anyone -- to be there for him when he feels most alone. What we don't get is more than a veiled suggestion of Mercury's true sexual life, or his continued use of heavy drugs as things got more and more splintered for him. This is, essentially, a safe PG-13 rendition of what should, by any honest measure, be a hard R film.
If there's any question where its true motivations lie, it's in the end, with the band reuniting to play a defining set during Live Aid, in front of roughly 1.5 billion people worldwide. Bizarrely, the film plays out almost the entire set as a kind of filler, while also trying to cram in enough emotional resonance to fulfill an audience's expectation for sweet-laced closure.
Forcing too many elements in a short space, the film jams in meaningful camera shots of Mary and her husband, standing alongside Mercury's new, serious boyfriend, Jim Hutton (Aaron McCusker), all staring in wonder as Mercury tears up the set, bringing the massive audience to a collective rush. The film clearly wants to capture what made Mercury so riveting to watch live but is more than content to keep to a surface reading of him in order to do so.
Bohemian Rhapsody
79 Cast: Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy, Joe Mazzello, Aidan Gillen, Allen Leech, Tom Hollander, Mike Myers
Director: Bryan Singer
Rating: PG-13, for thematic elements, suggestive material, drug content and language
Running time: 2 hours, 14 minutes
Despite its obviously over-modulated nature, there are still some good things at work, beginning with Malek's performance, which is exemplary. Even sporting fake teeth and a series of unfortunate rock wigs, he presents not just Mercury's vulnerability, but his series of compensations for it. The rest of his bandmates are also strong, with Brian May (Gwilym Lee), Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy), and John Deacon (Joe Mazzello) all well-repped, producing a group chemistry vastly better than most such arrangements (for the genre's nadir in this regard, try re-watching Oliver Stone's The Doors, beyond Val Kilmer's performance and see where that lands you). This is the version of the film that the rest of the band mostly approved of, and we can see why, with its whitewashing of Mercury's demons, and the other members' represented likability. Unfortunately, in playing it so safe, the filmmakers truly missed an opportunity for something far more resonant than a simple paean to a classic rock god.
The shame of it is that Mercury remains an absolutely fascinating man, with as unique an origin story as any in rock history. It would take a vastly more honest and subtle approach, but his is a life absolutely worthy of such investigation. It's just unfortunate the filmmakers decided to forego a softer, more reflective ballad in favor of such big-stadium pomposity.

Team Sonic Racing breaks the sound barrier in trailer
- Posted on: June 17, 2018

Mr. Sonic the Small Blue Animal Guy With Good Rings is back into the racing circuit. It's certainly one of the lesser beloved game franchises, and I can't help but think that's because it would be ridiculous for a character whose super-power is being super-fast to trade that power for driving cars that are equally fast to all of his competitors. It just doesn't make sense, right? I mean, Sonic and Mario facing off at the Olympics was also a game, so I guess maybe logic doesn't matter here? Team Sonic Racing brings us back to the Sonic Racingverse, and I'm sure I'm in the minority, but this is that Game Content I crave. Check out the forthcoming Team Sonic Racing trailer with me.

Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in our Star Wars X-Wing Store Championship this past Saturday, January 17. And thank you to everyone who came out and watched and supported the players! We are blown away by the amount of people who came from far and near to join us. Congratulations to Joe Grim the Store Champion (pictured below, right)! And congrats to Lyle Mac (pictured below, left) who came in second place!
Here are a few shots of the action!
We would like to thank the Blood Connection for coming out on Saturday. We would also like to thank all of the donors who came out and gave as a part of this blood drive. We had over 30 people donate blood which will touch over 100 lives. Donations tend to run low around the holidays so it was especially crucial that the Blood Connection received these valuable donations. We are constantly overwhelmed by the generosity of our customers! You all are the best!
Every now and then you need a break from the dark and gritty comics that often fill the racks. Sometimes you need to read about a girl who has the proportional speed and strength of a squirrel! The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine all mixed into an incredibly fun book.
Written by Ryan North with art by Erica Henderson, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl has already become one of my favorite Marvel titles. North's humor and wit makes this a joy to read! Henderson's art fits perfectly with the tone of the book and really adds to the experience.
In this issue Squirrel Girl (aka Doreen Green) is moving out of the Avengers Mansion to embark on a new adventure as a college student. She is trying to navigate through life while keeping her superhero identity a secret. She has a lot to learn though! But she has her best friend the squirrel Tippy-Toe to help her out. She is attempting to settle into her new dorm and meet her roommate when she is distracted by a Marvel villain. I won't give away too much but the action sequence is ridiculous in the best way possible!
North imbues the character of Squirrel Girl with so much life and humor that it makes her completely loveable. The story is funny and well-paced. I especially enjoy the running commentary along the bottom of the pages. If you missed out on that during your first reading of the book I would go back and read the tiny print at the bottom of the pages, it really adds to the comic experience. I have been enjoying North's work on Adventure Time for years and I am glad to see his style carrying over so well into the Marvel Universe.
Henderson's rendering of the character makes all of the jokes work. The book is full of visual gags and humor that if not properly executed could come across as too silly. But somehow Henderson makes it all work. Rico Renzi as color artist is another prefect choice. His palate is ideal for this book. Also, I really enjoyed the trading card art by Maris Wicks. It really added a playful element to this issue!
I can't wait for the next fun-filled issue of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl!
We would like to thank all the incredible vendors and artists who came out to support Kelly Dale during our Geek Market Saturday, as well as everyone who came out and donated food and participated in the Food Machines Tournament… we don't have final numbers on either yet as donations and food are still rolling in (and we might just see another event on Black Friday), but as you can see below, people did not hold back on their giving!
We'd also like to thank the folks from the ESO Podcast for coming out and recording an episode in the store. It was a blast! If you missed this awesome event, you can get a little taste of it by listening to the episode now!
There were many great releases this week, but one really stood out to long-time comic fans, a beautiful Captain America collaboration between Marvel Mastermind Stan Lee and Bruce Timm, creator of Batman the Animated Series. This wonderful pairing takes place in the pages of Marvel's 75th Anniversary Celebration.
It's truly beautiful to see Cap rendered by Timm, who's distinguishable artwork has always had such a clear influence from Cap's creator, Jack Kirby. This huge comic is packed with many other amazing stories as well and is pretty much a staple for fanboy and collector alike!

This week's blog takeover is hosted by Tracy Lawson. Tracy has been having a hard time of it with book releases so here she wants to give us an insight into how the author feels.
The last few weeks before a book launch are crazy, hectic, and full of last-minute details that need tending. It's a time of hope, excitement, and dread all rolled into one.
The book has been edited and polished, and then polished again. It's a piece of the author's soul, soon to be on display for the world (well, hopefully at least some of the people in the world) to read.

ENT Partners of Texas Blog
A Day in the Life of an ENT
Today, I'm sitting down to establish a blog covering various aspects of the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) medical / surgical specialty, both in general, and also from the perspective of the physicians in the ENT Partners of Texas practice. Note the modifier "medical / surgical". There is probably no other specialty that requires the combined skill and knowledge of both aspects of medicine as much as ENT. It is estimated that 60% of the patients that enter a general practitioner's office have complaints dealing with the head and neck. This makes our specialty very challenging, but also keeps it very interesting, for you never know what particular problem lies behind that next door.
I thought it might be illustrative to give you a typical list of patients I might see during a routine morning in the office and a typical day in the operating room.
Here's a typical Monday morning in my practice:
- 14 yr old male (M), follow-up (f/u) from tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy I performed last week
- 45 yr old female (F) initial snoring evaluation
- 2 yr old F 2 weeks f/u placement of ear tubes for recurrent ear infections
- 11 yr old M with very painful otitis externa (swimmer's ear) not better on antibiotics from primary care physician (PCP)
- 69 yr old F with tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- 34 yr old F with a thyroid nodule
- 34 yr old F with obesity who is scheduled for bariatric surgery (obesity surgery) who needs a sleep study and evaluation to make certain she does not have sleep apnea.
- 5 yr old F for 5 minute, routine 6 month f/u after tubes placed 18 months ago.
- 11 yr old M needs wax cleaned from ears.
- 26 yr old F f/u of sinus surgery 3 weeks earlier
- 8 yr old M failed a hearing test at school
- 52 yr old M for monthly f/u (8 months) after surgical removal of tonsil cancer followed by radiation
- 58 yr old M to discuss upcoming surgery for sleep apnea
- 19 yr old F with recurrent sinus infections
Normally Tuesday is surgery day. A typical surgery day would consist of the following:
- 4 yr old tonsillectomy / adenoidectomy (T&A)
- 6 yr old T&A
- 19 yr old T&A
- 45 yr old sinus surgery
- 52 yr old removal of small tongue cancer
- 54 yr old thyroidectomy with central neck dissection for cancer
As you can see, things are never boring.

About the initiative
Specific objectives
- To develop capacity, assess the risks and develop national or subnational health adaptation strategies
- To build institutional capacity on climate change in relation to extreme weather events preparedness and response; infectious disease surveillance and response; respiratory diseases early detection and response; water, food safety and malnutrition
- To foster innovation in energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy for health services
- To provide intelligence and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences on effective adaptation and mitigation measures.
Key features
- Addressing adaptation to climate change
This initiative addresses the reduction of vulnerability of populations and countries, increases adaptive capacity of health systems and countries, includes the improvement of disaster preparedness and response, early detection of diseases and develops appropriate climate change related policies to protect population health and the environment.
The project identifies vulnerable areas and population groups to target specific interventions.
- Innovative character: institutional innovation
Country activities will bring together multisectoral teams (e.g. health, development, transport, trade, energy). This approach will ensure that climate change adaptation is mainstreamed to the development priorities as well as through health and health systems programs of the participating countries and their existing national strategies.
- Multiplier effect
By showing the multiple benefits of greenhouse gases reduction policies, the health sector can strengthen its capacity to engage and work with other sectors and to identify "selling points" to support the implementation of such policies. This would benefit populations, health systems, ministries of health and environment, and governments, whose well-being is threatened by climate change.

By Joe Shearer, Photo Editor
"Have you ever been to Chernobyl?"
That's a question that most of us have never been asked.
"Do you want to go to Chernobyl?"
That is a question most of us will never be asked, at least not in jest. But for Omaha-born photographer Jim Krantz, the question was all too real.
In 2009, Krantz was invited by a European journalist to embark on a trip to Ukraine to photograph the "Forbidden Zone." Covering an area roughly 19 miles in diameter, the "Forbidden Zone" received the most substantial damage from the 1986 explosion and fire at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in what was formerly the USSR. This historical accident displaced thousands of people, most of who have not returned to this day. Some have returned, however, and Krantz was able to experience life in their shoes, if only for a short time.
At the KANEKO gallery downtown on March 2, Krantz shared what he experienced and captured via the lens on his 2009 and 2010 trips. He brought along friend and environmentalist Henry Henderson of the Natural Resources Defense Council to take part in a discussion and field questions from attendants.
Over 150 people showed up to the space functioning as a gallery to experience these photos and listen to the presentation. As visitors slowly trickled in to circle around the circumference of the gallery space to look at the photo prints, songs from the likes of Billy Ocean, Talking Heads, Madonna and more aired from a PA system. Lively and danceable music seemed like the last thing one would listen to while viewing images of such emotional magnitude, though. Krantz explained that the music wasn't played just to lighten the mood in the room.
"Talk about parallel worlds," Krantz said. "That's the kind of stuff I was immersed in back in April of 1986. That's the world I was in that day. Same world, same day though, we're over here listening to Run DMC and Billy Ocean, and [the people near Chernobyl] were standing under the fog of a nuclear explosion. Like I said, parallel worlds; but tonight they intersect."
The event's activities were much more than just looking at images. Krantz said that more than anything, he wanted his photos to tell the story of the people who returned to their homes in the battered land around Chernobyl. He also wanted the photos to act as a catalyst for discussion on how humans use the environment and harness natural resources.
The images ranged from smile-inducing to tear-shedding, as one would expect from a photo essay over such a monumental subject. Throughout his excursion, Krantz roamed the countryside in search of human life during his two trips. Not knowing a word of Russian, Krantz had a handful of colorful encounters with local people. While snapping away, many of the strangers he encountered invited him to join them in random slices of life: drinking vodka, eating irradiated meals or visiting with family. These people were making do with what they had, and despite being in the known danger of the radiation-soaked land, they just wanted to be home with the little they had. Through the happy and depressing, Krantz captured all of the emotions.
Throughout their discussion, Krantz and Henderson championed for the public and government officials alike to fight for clean energy. The Chernobyl disaster in 1986 was a shining example of how people are underestimating the effects of the different types of energies used today and in the past.
"The events at Chernobyl in 1986 were the results of grotesque human failure," Henderson said. "This is documentation of a huge footprint of the results of major human decisions that can have untold effects on our community. These same types of decisions are being made today and can have numerous implications on our surroundings."
Visual communication is more than just looking at pictures. It's expressing humanity through various mediums and images. Sometimes it is used to influences the masses. Krantz hopes that his photographs are able influence a few generations of problem-solvers.
"I can't go back and help this woman. I know that this man sitting on the bed with his head down has passed away," Krantz said, pointing at various photos of the verified deceased. "But [exposing these images to the public] can help all these other people at Chernobyl or anywhere."
Those who want to see the exhibition in person, Krantz's Chernobyl photos will be hanging at KANEKO on the corner 11th and Jones streets through March 10. For more information, visit thekaneko.org or call (402) 341-4523.

Brnabic: Serbia will not recognize another state in its territory
Serbia will not recognize the existence of another state in its territory, Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Friday.
Speaking at the international scientific conference "Kosovo and Metohija: Sui generis, or precedent in international relations," Brnabic stressed that the conflict between the Serbs and the Albanians cannot be solved by supporting one side in each of its demands, however unreasonable it may be, and expect the other side to bow down and accept every imposed solution.
Such a thing, the Prime Minister continued, would not be accepted by any mature nation – in particular, the Serb nation, which in the past paid a heavy price for its freedom and the right to make its own decisions.
"A solution must take into account the positions held by both peoples," Brnabic stressed, and added that her country is ready to participate in solving the problem of Kosovo in a mature and responsible way, but would not recognize the existence of another state in its own territory.
She assessed that the project that is calling itself "the Republic of Kosovo" has been, and continues to be destined to fail.
"Considering that the current situation is unsustainable, it is necessary to look for some new, perhaps unique solutions in order to establish permanent stability and peace in this part of Europe," the prime minister emphasized.
Brnabic said that she is convinced this is possible – if there is interest among the most influential subjects in the international community to achieve such outcome

"In the first half, I thought we played well. I thought we controlled the game pretty much, maybe we were unlucky not to get one. But in the second half, they certainly came out well. They made a couple of tactical changes which we had trouble adjusting to and I thought they did an OK job. But you're going on the road and you're not going to win every game. And it's a tough place to play; to come out of here with a 0-0 tie and at least get a point, we're not super thrilled with it but we're not super disappointed with it either." (On another shutout for the defense) "The defense I thought played well. Again, I thought we defended together as a unit. In the first half especially I thought we did a good job of keeping Jazic, even though he got subbed early, and Trujillo out of the game. That was good from our wide players. We always talk about the back four, but that was really good from the wide midfielders to get that done. I thought Parke was very good today and overall defensively I thought we were solid." (On the stoppage-time fracas) "It was a scrum. Trujillo swung back at Leo. I'm not quite sure why Leo got the red card. I think he fouled Trujillo, for sure he fouled him. But it was a foul, and then he swings back, and then somebody came into the fray really late, took a swing at somebody and that wasn't seen at all. And it wasn't one of our guys." (On Montero and the collision) "He had a little bit of a contusion on his thigh, but he was also, maybe a little bit not clear-headed. So I think Fredy in the second half was not as effective as he was in the first. We ended up taking him out, but maybe we should've done that a little sooner." (On what kept the team from scoring) "Obviously there was a great save by Thornton on Alonso's shot at the end there. Just the final pass, final decision kept us off the board a little bit. I think some guys didn't make as good a final decision as they have at other times. Again, like I said, playing away from home and coming into a tough place to play, playing against a team that needs three points and making sure that they don't get three points, and coming out with a point, we're still happy with that." (On Alvaro Fernandez's first start) "Yeah, it was good. He ran out of gas at about 60, so we had to make that change. I thought he was good, he was effective. I thought he showed his speed a couple of times, when he got in behind. Again, as he adjusts to the team, as we get to know him better, it'll come." Comments

For History 297, we had to read excerpts from The Italian American Table, by Simone Cinotto. The introduction starts with an analysis of the thematic importance of food to Italian-Americans in shows like The Sopranos and The Godfather. In each case, food is depicted as being something inherently tied to Italian culture. This is something echoed by Italian-American authors, directors and actors in practically every book and movie on Italian-Americans. Cinotto sought to see why it is that the culinary arts are seen as being a part of Italian American culture. Cinotto found quotes from people like Mario Puzo, the famed author of The Godfather, describing the importance of food during the Great Depression. It was during the depression that food became intertwined with Italian American culture. After the many diasporas experienced by the Italian Americans and the attempts to be seen as being white, cooking became the best way for the Italian Americans to differentiate themselves from the rest of the country. From this, Cinotto creates the main idea of her book, that the way food is done for each racial or migrant group in America impacts the way their culture is seen. In this, Cinotto uses the traditions of food culture and interviews, rather than sources like government documents. This shows how historians have been seeking out newer ways of analyzing history.

Iowa City Opens New South Wastewater Treatment Plant
Iowa City's revamped South wastewater treatment plant has finally completed its construction with the funding derived from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Authority and the Iowa Economic Development Authority. The long-term renovation plan of the plant primarily aims to meet current and future wastewater demands being treated by the formerly decommissioned North wastewater treat plant.
The nearly total destruction of the 79-year-old North wastewater treatment plant has been inoperable due to floodwater. It damaged the facility's pumps and electrical components in 2008 and significantly aggravated the need to expand the South plant.
This project is instrumental in optimizing the plant's efficiency and complying with new water quality standards in Iowa as well as addressing the needs of the growing population in the city. "It's a more efficient facility than we had before, and I'm glad it's up and running," said Kingsley Botchway II, Iowa City City Councilor.
Reinforced by the mission to obtain environmental and financial sustainability, the new facility is intuitively planned to offer a vast of capabilities. The South plant uses ultra-violet rays as the filtering media instead of chlorine gas and sulfur-dioxide to promote an eco-friendly system. Additionally, "the plant recycles water and uses it for watering nearby communities like soccer field. It also produces enough fertilizer to cover more than 800 acres of land, and reclamation of methane from wastewater may save the city $50,000 annually", Matt Hayek, Iowa City Mayor added.
Large scale wastewater treatment plants rely on high-grade water purification systems for efficient and reliable service in the residential and industrial communities. Aqua Solutions is dedicated to providing advanced lab water systems like Type I DI Systems for use on pre-treated water engineered for high capacity water applications.

Legacy: Book III of The Fire Chronicles
*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
I have worked with Susi Wright before so I knew the style of writing and narration I was getting into when I agreed to read and provide a review for this book. Wright is addicted to detail, that is the first thing I will say about this book and I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way.
On a positive note: the wording and descriptive phrases used were phenomenal. I could perfectly imagine every situation, character, and location and I appreciated the little things such as the weather, the color of a character's eyes, the way their hair moved when they tossed their head back, the feel of the warmth of the sun. All the minor details added up to a bigger picture which demonstrated all the care and effort put into this book.
Now, the only thing I didn't like about all the detail was that it sometimes felt like there was too much. The first example is that there was a preface and a prologue. I've said it before and I'll shamelessly say it again, I don't like "pre" or "pro" anything, I don't read them. Just no. Granted, some prologues actually contain vital information that may help prevent any confusion in the story. But I just don't like them. Whatever needs to be said should be included in the story. BUT this is a personal preference and has no weight on my review.
What does carry some weight in this review is that the story could've been about half as long as it was. As much as I enjoyed and appreciated every detail and description, it felt like the book was 70% description and 30% story. I probably sound like I'm contradicting myself right now. What I mean to say is, the story was written well, the detail was beautifully crafted, but there was just too much of it.
Now back to the positivity. This story is a great addition to the fantasy genre. It has a fine, balanced mix of YA characters, struggles, and attitude, with the maturity of a strong and imaginative fantasy novel. Even though this book is part of a series, I think it's good enough to stand on its own but that doesn't mean the rest of the series should be forgotten. I would recommend this book to readers of all ages. Those who enjoy fantasy and YA fiction will definitely want to check out all three books.

Clashes reported between Palestinians and Zionist regime forces in Quds
Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces erupted in Occupied Jerusalem Monday evening following the death of the mother Dawabshe who died of her wounds after being burned inside her home by settlers.
The confrontations were also because Monday marked the first anniversary of the minor Mohammad Sunnukrut's murder at the hands of Israeli soldiers.
Eyewitnesses revealed that confrontations broke out in Wadi al-Joz district, pointing out that the Israeli soldiers and security forces were deployed since the afternoon at the entries of Palestinian neighborhoods.
In the evening, limited clashes erupted in the district as the Israeli forces stormed the house of the martyr Sunnukrut and fired stun grenades at Palestinians who replied by fireworks and stone throwing.
In Silwan town of Occupied Jerusalem, Wadi Helweh Information Center – Silwan said the clashes broke out in Bir Ayoub district where Israeli soldiers fired sound bombs randomly. Two Palestinians were injured, as a result.
The Israeli soldiers assaulted three Palestinian minors while going back home in the neighborhood, the center disclosed.
Clashes were also reported in al-Tour town in Jerusalem where Palestinians threw firecrackers at Beit Orot outpost in al-Sewaneh district.

Little Theatre of Virginia Beach and director Jeffrey Seneca's production of "And Then There Were None" is a moody and dark rendition of Christie's masterpiece.
The play's plot revolves around ten visiting strangers, including a cook and a butler, to Soldier Island — all invited by the mysterious Mr. U.N. Own. All are led to believe that they have been invited to a weekend party at the remote island. But then a disembodied voice charges each with causing a death at sometime during their lives.
It appears that Mr. U.N. Own is nowhere to be found on the island, and as the victims continue to meet their gruesome fates, the survivors begin to suspect each other. Each are then dispatched one by one based on a nursery counting rhyme.
Then it's down to the remaining two, then one — or is it? The killer will come as a surprise to those who are unfamiliar with the novel.
Jeffrey Seneca's direction with this play suggests a commanding knowledge of Christie's work and of theatrical staging. Each character had an opportunity to shine and I could see that Mr Seneca gave careful thought as to the best stage positioning for each actor.
All of the actors maintained a very credible English accent. LTVB is fortunate to have an obviously expert dialect coach with Alan L.C. Campbell. The ensemble included Anthony Fotinos and Lynn Rollins as the married butler and cook, Wade Brinkley as a nervous nerve specialist named Dr. Armstrong, and Karen Buchheim as imperious spinster Miss Brent. Robin Chapman is pompous General MacKenzie, Scott Rollins plays hard-nosed Detective Blore, Jordan Tewari is spoiled playboy Anthony, and Tom O'Reilly plays urbane Justice Wargrave. Steven Meeks as adventurer/ladies' man Captain Lombard and Felicia Fields as Vera, a pretty young secretary, pair up as the play's romantic interest. Mike Dunavan appears in the small role of a deliveryman.
The set design and lighting by Michael Hilton were both beautiful and functional. I marveled at what appeared to be period correct furniture and prop pieces. The lighting clearly highlighted the characters' features and helped set the proper mood for each scene. Costumes by Kay Burcher fit the time period and, especially with Felicia Field's Vera, were eye-popping.
For me there were three standouts and one great scene stealing performance. Scott Rollins was clearly at ease as Detective Blore and he demonstrated how to react in the moment as an actor. Anthony Fotinos as Thomas Rogers appeared as a very authentic English butler. Jordan Tewari as the playboy Anthony Marston, despite having a small part, ate up any scene when he was on stage. Robin Chapman as General Mackenzie had a monologue late in the play that was very powerful and moving.
The play's running time was approximately three hours — and it struck as a bit too long. I think there are opportunities for cutting the play's down to a more manageable 2 ½ hours or less. May I suggest increasing the energy level at the beginning of the play and with quicker line delivery. I also wasn't quite sold on the romantic chemistry between Vera and Captain Lombard.
Overall, Little Theatre of Virginia Beach should be very proud of "And Then There Were None." When I attended on Saturday, January 20 they had a sold out performance. The audience clearly enjoyed the performance and several comical quips. I therefore I give "And Then There Were None" a Big Thumbs Up! GO SEE IT!
Little Theatre of Virginia Beach "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie through special arrangement with Agatha Christie through special arrangement with Samuel L French, Inc. Performances takes place at Little Theatre of Virginia Beach, on January 9 – February 11. Get more info, prices, and purchase tickets here or by calling 757-428-9233

On May 24 the Lower School Drama Club staged "Cast Aways" under the direction of Sarah Murphy, who described the play as follows: "It's 'Gilligan's Island' meets 'Endgame' in a post-climate-catastrophe future."
The next day, Pre-primary boys proudly presented "One" for their parents and the school community. Pre-primary teacher Katherine Varughese noted, "Inspired by the book, 'One,' by Katherine Otoshi, the play conveyed a wonderful message about kindness and working together, which aligns with the Pre-primary curriculum." The plot entailed primary and secondary colors as characters who realize that their arguing has gotten out of hand and that standing together and accepting each other's differences is a much better way to live.
The morning of June 1 began with the Laura P. Muhlfeld Lower School Spelling Bee and included finalists from Grades Two, Three and Four. Moderator Kevin Dearinger explained the outcome: "The final round left three boys standing [one second grader and two fourth graders] and so, according to the rules, there were three winners this year. A majority of the finalists held out longer than in any previous competition. Lower School spellers are hard to stump!" Judges were Head Librarian Sarah Murphy and Library Assistant Adam Giordano.

Sibford School – a 3-18 independent day and boarding school – and Sibford Gower Endowment School – a state primary school – joined forces in an independent/state school partnership (ISSP). Marie Cahalane speaks to Edward Rossiter, assistant head at Sibford School, and explores the benefits, challenges and opportunities that cross-sector relationships offer
Located in close proximity to each other in Banbury in Oxfordshire, Sibford School and Sibford Gower Endowment Primary School have always had some links. For Edward Rossiter, assistant head of the junior school at Sibford School, embarking on an independent/state school partnership (ISSP) was an opportunity to expand on existing connections.
The priority was to give students an opportunity to work with those from another school and to give students from Sibford Gower the use of facilities that they would not otherwise have had access to. It was also a good opportunity to increase publicity.
A scientific approach
The criteria for an ISSP application stipulate that participating schools take on projects that are innovative in terms of curriculum or have an ICT focus. Science was chosen as the focus of the Sibford schools ISSP, meeting the criteria by providing the facilities – Sibford School's state-of-the-art science labs in the senior school science department – and the specialist teachers to enhance learning and creativity for students and teachers.
Two, full-day science workshops were run at Sibford School, attended by students from both schools, one based on physics – which linked to a recent solar eclipse – and one which delved into the world of chemistry. "We wanted to have a clear science focus but we also wanted to ensure that it was about students working together, so we made sure that social, communication and leadership skills, as well as team work, were built-in," Edward explains. Students worked in groups of two or three children from each school – participating in a variety of team-building exercises – for example, designing aerodynamic rockets that were later launched in a competition.
Mutually beneficial
"Initially we approached Sibford Gower to see if they were interested in taking part and they were as keen as we were," Edward recalls. At that point, senior leaders from both schools, including Jane O'Sullivan, the head of Sibford Gower, and Edward, met to drill down into the details – working the idea into something that would be mutually beneficial. "This was an important part of the application process," Edward recalls. "We were all keen to ensure it wasn't just about us being charitable; we wanted the partnership to be something that children from both schools learned from."

Context. Massive stars play an important role in both cluster and galactic evolution and the rate at which they lose mass is a key driver of both their own evolution and their interaction with the environment up to and including their terminal SNe explosions. Young massive clusters provide an ideal opportunity to study a co-eval population of massive stars, where both their individual properties and the interaction with their environment can be studied in detail.
Aims. We aim to study the constituent stars of the Galactic cluster Westerlund 1 in order to determine mass-loss rates for the diverse post-main sequence population of massive stars.
Methods. To accomplish this we made 3mm continuum observations with the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array.
Results. We detected emission from 50 stars in Westerlund 1, comprising all 21 Wolf-Rayets within the field of view, plus eight cool and 21 OB super-/hypergiants. Emission nebulae were associated with a number of the cool hypergiants while, unexpectedly, a number of hot stars also appear spatially resolved.
Conclusions. We were able to measure the mass-loss rates for a unique population of massive post-main sequence stars at every stage of evolution, confirming a significant increase as stars transitioned from OB supergiant to WR states via LBV and/or cool hypergiant phases. Fortuitously, the range of spectral types exhibited by the OB supergiants provides a critical test of radiatively-driven wind theory and in particular the reality of the bi-stability jump. The extreme mass-loss rate inferred for the interacting binary Wd1-9 in comparison to other cluster members confirmed the key role binarity plays in massive stellar evolution. The presence of compact nebulae around a number of OB and WR stars is unexpected; by analogy to the cool super-/hypergiants we attribute this to confinement and sculpting of the stellar wind via interaction with the intra-cluster medium/wind. Given the morphology of core collapse SNe depend on the nature of the pre-explosion circumstellar environment, if this hypothesis is correct then the properties of the explosion depend not just on the progenitor, but also the environment in which it is located.

The department has created a new position to academically support our student-athletes, the Coordinator of Academic Success (CAS). The Trailblazer Success Program was created to support the 3-2-1 vision of the Athletic Department in assisting all student-athletes to reach and maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA.
If a student is SUSPENDED BY THE COLLEGE, regardless of credit status, the suspension committee reserves the right to also SUSPEND the SA regardless of whether or not a "freebie" has been used, assuming the student has appealed the MCLA suspension and it's overturned.
The appeal is for student-athletes who believe they have extenuating circumstances (the loss of an immediate family member; prolonged illness; recently diagnosed learning disability, etc.), which impacted their academic success. The appeal will be reviewed and the student-athlete will receive a response in a timely fashion.
Student-athletes may appeal their Athletics Suspension ONE time throughout their academic career. The appeal should be sent to the Coordinator of Academic Success (CAS) and should outline the student-athletes struggles and a plan for specific academic success in the future. The student-athlete should attach any additional documentation needed for the committee to review.
- If a student-athlete wins an appeal, the committee may impose certain guidelines in order to REMAIN eligible (IE: Mandatory study hall attendance, Satisfactory academic progress, Mid Term grades, etc)
Any student-athlete UNDER a 2.5 Cumulative GPA or considered "At Risk" by the Coordinator of Academic Success will be mandated to attend Study Hall during the semester. The Coordinator of Academic Success is the only one who can excuse a student-athlete from attending study hall. Each student-athlete is required to attend a minimum of FOUR hours per week in Study Hall. Student-athletes that fail to meet study hall requirements will be sanctioned as follows:
- 1st Offense- Meeting with CAS, Coach, and student-athlete to discuss policy
- 2nd Offense- Student-athlete will be suspended for one game/contest
- 3rd Offense- Student-athlete will be suspended for additional two games/contests
Eligibility Notices
The Athletic Department will issue an eligibility notice to the student-athlete at the following three stages:
1) When a student-athlete is placed on their first academic probation and invokes their one "free" semester.
2. When a student-athlete is placed on academic probation a second time, the student will be ineligible to practice or compete with the team until they become academically eligible again, which will be decided at the conclusion of the semester.
Earned Credits Good Standing Probation Suspension
0-30 2.000 or above 1.500-1.999 under 1.500
31-75 2.000 or above 1.750-1.999 under 1.750
76 and above 2.000 or above no probation under 2.000
The department has a position to academically support our student-athletes, the Coordinator of Academic Success (CAS). The Trailblazer Success Program was created to support the 3-2-1 vision of the Athletic Department in assisting all student-athletes to reach and maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA.
First Semester, Transfer, and "At Risk" Student-Athletes:
During the semester at MCLA these student-athletes are required to complete 4 hours of study hall a week and have meetings with the CAS. After the first semester is completed they will be evaluated by their cumulative GPA (see table below).
Second Semester and Upper Class Students:
The cumulative GPA will dictate what column the student-athlete falls into.
2.49 & Below
It is an expectation that student-athletes attend classes regularly. The Coordinator of Academic Success will provide each team with a missed class letter at the beginning of each season. Student-athletes should hand deliver these letters to professors at the beginning of the season. If the student-athlete fails to deliver this letter they will not be permitted to leave class.
Departure times for away games as well as reporting times for home games are included in the letter. Student-athletes must stay in class until those reported times, which intend to keep the student-athletes in their classes for as long as possible. Student-athletes are not permitted to miss class for practices.
This policy is intended to ensure student-athletes are not penalized for being absent from class while representing the College. It is not intended to excuse students from the responsibility to meet course requirements. They will need to notify faculty of their imminent absence and to make arrangements to make up any missed work.

A relaxation is an interval of silence in a chunk of music , marked by an emblem indicating the size of the pause. The chain semantic shift whereby notes which had been originally perceived as short came progressively to be long notes is attention-grabbing both linguistically and musically. Completely different pitches are named by letters. One sixteenth be aware alone will get two flags, whereas grouped sixteenth notes use two beams.
In percussion notation this denotes, among many other specific makes use of, to open the hi-hat by releasing the pedal, or enable an instrument to ring. Maybe you will have plenty of expertise playing interpretively, however need to get a greater deal with on musical approach and hone your timing and synchronization.
Trendy editions of music from such periods usually transpose the original C clef components to either treble (feminine voices), octave treble (tenors), or bass clef (tenors and basses). In much music, the mordent begins on the auxiliary word, and the alternation between the 2 notes may be prolonged.
The time signatures (additionally called meter signatures) inform the musician what number of beats per measure there are, and what kind of be aware will get the beat. The time signature determines how many beats may be in a measure. Inside a measure there are notes and rests similar to the number of beats decided by a time signature.
To rely sixteenth notes, divide the beat by saying 1-e-and-a, 2-e-and-a," and so on. You say the numbers on a downward faucet; the and" is on an upward tap, and the e" and a" are in between. You possibly can write eighth notes in two alternative ways: By itself, one eighth looks like a quarter word with a flag.

Our April 4th meeting will feature a special presentation by long-time member Ken MIller, with two short programs featuring the slides of another long-time member, Dick Forest. The first show is titled: "Phillipsburg, Crossroads of Transportation," looking at this Warren County river town that was crossed by five major railroads, two canals, a trolley line, and was home to big industrial facilities. While attending law school, Dick was an operator at Q tower north of P'burg, so he knew when the trains were running and was line side in his youth, and was taking pictures long enough to revisit those spots during the Conrail era giving us many then-and-now looks. The second program is "Travels With Dick Forest." Anyone who knew Dick knew that he liked to travel, first class, so we'll see private car journeys all over North America during the height of the private car era. This should be a memorable night.
The meeting begins at 7:15 at the Bickford Theater, Morris Museum, 6 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown. Admission is free, all are welcome.

The BEST night's sleep EVEEEERRRRR!
Have you ever tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep? I have. I used to a LOT. I used to wake up with a million thoughts running through my head and I couldn't go back to sleep.
I'm not one to take sleeping medication (just a personal choice, nothing against those who do), so I went on the hunt for something that was natural, safe, and effective.
<enter sleep spray>
A couple squirts in the mouth of this minty-tasting elixir (that includes MSM, valerian root and melatonin) and BAM!
I drift off within 15 minutes. I sleep deep. I sleep sound. I DREAM. I wake up refreshed and not like a truck hit me in the morning like some other sleep aids can do.
Don't believe me?
I can even prove it with my "SLEEP CYCLE" app that tracks how deep I sleep and my REM Cycles...(it's pretty cool, you should probably get the app along with the sleep spray)!
Have more questions about the Sleep Spray? That's good! We like questions... Check out the quick info video below or click the bottom at the bottom of the post for more info...

Deus Ex: The Fall - 99p / 99c
Probably one of the best FPS games on the App Store. It looks lovely, it gets that Deus Ex feel just about right, and there's a thick and juicy prequel story to sink your teeth into. For 99p you really shouldn't be turning your nose up at this one if you haven't played it yet.

Sproggiwood - 99p / 99c
A wonderful mobile roguelike that's dripping with charm and replayability. It's built around Finnish fairytales, and it's presented in big, bright primary colours. The combat is fast and furious, there's a whole bunch of loot to collect, and you're going to be grinning the whole time you're playing it.

Deus Ex GO - 99p / 99c
What is this, Deus Ex day or something? I have no idea. All of the GO games are for sale right now for 99p / 99c, but this is the newest one so I figure it might be the one you haven't got. An awesome mix of board game and adventure that distills the Deus Ex formula into a super slick classic you'll love to pick up and play.

Jasper's Rocket - Free
A game about a cat flying a rocket. Don't think about how a cat could manage to fly a rocket, that's really not the problem here. The problem is keeping the rocket in the air for as long as possible. It's a smart take on a mobile genre we've seen a lot recently. And now that it's free you don't have any excuse not to play it.

The final part of one of the best trilogies mobile has ever seen. A super slick puzzler that sees you poking and prodding your way through a series of manipulable arenas. It's smart, it looks gorgeous, and I honestly think you've probably already played it. If you haven't, go and get it right now.

He said that the videos were not intended as a training tool and were published to show how it could feel for a dog in a bid to discourage others from using the collars. He added: "I understand the theory of the collar but for me personally I work on timing as my tool." On the Scottish Government's ruling, a spokesman said: "We have confirmed our intention to introduce strict, new regulations on the use of electronic training aids, allowing their use only under the guidance of approved trainers or veterinary surgeons.

Highlands renews air monitoring agreement with Allegheny County
Highlands School Board has renewed a long-term agreement with Allegheny County for air quality monitoring.
The county's Health Department has been monitoring air quality in Harrison since the 1980s, department spokesman Ryan Scarpino said.
The new three-year agreement for placement of an air monitoring station at Highlands High School runs through Dec. 31, 2021.
The monitor is part of a network measuring air pollution over 13 locations in Allegheny County.
Three monitors are in Pittsburgh and others are in Avalon, Clairton, Glassport, Liberty, Lincoln, North Braddock, South Fayette, North Park and near the Parkway East in Wilkinsburg.
Pollutants measured include sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, total reactive nitrogen, ozone and air toxins.
Under the agreement, the county will pay the district up to $7,500. That includes $2,000 per year in rent, and $3.50 for electrical compensation per sample run.
Air quality has long been a concern in Harrison due to Allegheny Technologies Inc.'s specialty steel mill in the township's Natrona neighborhood.
Pollution levels around Highlands High School were once considered among the worst near schools in the nation.
The quality of air around the high school and neighboring community has improved since ATI closed a melt shop in 2010, based on data from the high school's monitor, according to the Health Department.
Residents remained concerned about pollution from the mill and other sources as recently as December 2017, when a public hearing on new pollution permits for the plant was held at the Harrison Municipal Building.
