Researchers and Pediatric Brain Tumor Nonprofits Gather in Portland for 2018 Translating Discoveries to Cure the Kids
Forty-four researchers and 20 leaders from the nonprofit community gathered in Portland, Oregon earlier this month for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's annual Translating Discoveries to Cure the Kids (TD2).
This year's annual scientific meeting explored the potential and challenges of treating children's brain tumors through immunotherapy.
Immunotherapy is a fundamentally different approach to treating cancer. It strengthens the immune system's arsenal to fight cancer cells and makes those cells better targets for an immune response. However, while the research community's understanding of immunotherapy for human cancer has evolved significantly over the past 20 years, immunotherapy for brain tumors has proven more challenging.
Over the course of TD2, researchers dived into three topics that will ultimately inform the PBTF's request for proposals for our new Immunotherapy Research Initiative.
Understanding the central nervous system's immunology and pathology
TD2 began by examining the complex dynamics between the neuro-immune system, tumors and brain, and the knowledge gaps the research community still needs to fill.
The immune system is highly dynamic with age, and there is a critical need for a comprehensive description of how immune cell surface phenotypes mature. Dr. Daniel Perry, PhD, of the University of Florida is undertaking a deep immune profiling effort to understand immune development and how changes develop in people from cord blood to 80+ years of age. He detailed a method he developed that converts immunophenotypes to age quantiles and generates "growth charts" for the pediatric immune system. This innovation may lead to more effective immune monitoring and selection of optimal immunotherapies.
Another part of this first session was dedicated to exploring neoantigens. Tumors are driven by genetic mutations in normal cells, some of which lead to the formation of molecules that the immune system pegs as "foreign" – or neoantigens. These neoantigens didn't exist during the immune system's development so tumor cells that display them on their surface are subject to immune attack. They can potentially be leveraged as targets for personalized, precision cancer medicine in pediatric brain tumors.
Other major discussion topics included new ways to assess the impact of immunotherapy on the infiltration of functional immune cells into the tumor and the special molecular features tumors possess that help them evade the immune system.
Exploring tools and methods for monitoring immunotherapy in brain tumors
"It's imperative we develop methods to understand tumor progression before, during and after treatment," said Samuel H. Cheshier, MD, PhD, of the University of Utah during his presentation in the mid-day session.
For instance, tumors sometimes appear to "grow" at the onset of immune therapy. This pseudo-progression can be deceptive and doesn't necessarily mean a treatment is ineffective.
To address tumor behaviors like this, the second session focused on different types of tools and methods that could prove useful for monitoring brain tumors' response to immunotherapy treatments. These methods included advanced imaging techniques to delineate immune-related inflammatory response from a growing tumor; humanized mouse models to study tumor biology; radiologic imaging and immunostaining; and ferumoxytol as a potential MRI biomarker for brain tumor macrophages.
Clinical trials of immune-oncology therapy
TD2's afternoon session took a look at ongoing research into immune-oncology therapy, featuring presentations by Gregory Friedman, MD, University of Alabama, Birmingham, and David M. Ashley, MBBS, FRACP, PhD, Duke University, on treating tumors with oncolytic viral therapies and Giedre Krenciute, PhD, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and Christine Brown, PhD, City of Hope, on developments in Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy.
Clinical trials are "not about getting a new grant or a new journal article, but a cured child," said Eugene Hwang, MD, Children's National Health System, during his overview of past and current immunotherapy clinical trials for children with brain tumors. "Looking at the landscape of immunotherapy clinical trials will help us plan for the future."
To help researchers spend more time in the lab and less time applying for funds, the PBTF continues to forge alliances and partnerships. As researchers met at TD2, representatives from Meghan Rose Bradley Foundation, Be Brave For Life Foundation, The Connecticut Brain Tumor Alliance, Inc., Mithil Prasad Foundation, N8 Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, Kyrie Foundation and Pat Mac's Pack collaborated on ways to better meet families' needs. At the end of the day, both groups came together to ask each other the questions needed to shape the path forward -- a path where all children thrive.
The time is right to fund this field of study on a much larger scale. The PBTF's Immunotherapy Research Initiative will fill in these knowledge gaps -- providing a more informed perspective on the potential applications of this therapeutic approach and minimizing the challenges that often plague drug development for childhood brain tumors.

When power forward Josh Smith took the challenge of defending center DeMarcus Cousins, the Atlanta Hawks finally took control Friday night against the visiting Sacramento Kings.
Smith, who remained in Atlanta after being discussed in talks leading up to Thursday's trade deadline, came through with his defense a day later.
Al Horford led Atlanta's balanced scoring with 24 points, and the Hawks overcame a slow start to beat Sacramento, 122-108. But Coach Larry Drew talked the most about the decision made by the 6-foot-9 Smith to defend the high-scoring, 6-foot-11, 270-pound Cousins.
"Josh signaled he did not want any help down there," Drew said.
Smith held Cousins, who had 26 points and 13 rebounds, to only 4 points in the final quarter. Isaiah Thomas led the Kings with 30 points and 9 assists.
THUNDER 127, T'WOLVES 111 Russell Westbrook scored 37 points, Kevin Durant added 27, and host Oklahoma City snapped a three-game losing streak by beating Minnesota.
The Thunder avoided losing four in a row for the first time since April 2009.
They hit all 22 of their free throws.
Alexey Shved led Minnesota with 17 points, and Andrei Kirilenko and Dante Cunningham had 15 points apiece.
CELTICS 113, SUNS 88 Jeff Green scored 31 points in his first start of the season, and short-handed Boston routed host Phoenix.
Green started in place of the 36-year-old Kevin Garnett, given a rest with Boston playing its third game in four nights. Green responded by going 11 of 14 from the floor and setting his season high for points.
PACERS 114, PISTONS 82 Surging Indiana crushed visiting Detroit as six Pacers scored in double figures, led by David West with 18 points and George Hill with 15.
Indiana has won 3 straight and 8 of 10.
Will Bynum scored 17 points for the stumbling Pistons.
BULLS 105, BOBCATS 75 Taj Gibson scored 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting as Chicago won at Charlotte.
Kemba Walker had 27 points to lead the Bobcats.
GRIZZLIES 88, MAGIC 82 Marc Gasol had 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Zach Randolph added 16 points and 14 boards as host Memphis beat short-handed Orlando for its sixth straight win.
The Magic had only seven players available.
WIZARDS 119, NUGGETS 113 Emeka Okafor had 17 points and 13 rebounds for host Washington as it took down yet another contending team.
Ty Lawson led Denver with 27 points and 12 assists.
MAVERICKS 104, HORNETS 100 Vince Carter capped a 22-point performance with a 3-pointer that gave Dallas the lead with 6.5 seconds left, and the visiting Mavericks held on for their third straight victory. Dirk Nowitzki added 25 points for Dallas.

Pacific Island Bastions of the United States
Pacific Island Bastions of the United States
The United States frontage on two oceans inevitably has led to its greater military vulnerability on the one hand, and to its greater capacity for keeping potential enemies off its shores on the other. Naval power and, more recently, air power have been key elements. in this two-sided picture. They have not and do not operate in a vacuum, of course. What is the nature of the space in which they have operated--its waters, skies, and scattered land areas? What conditions do naval and air power impose, what facilities do the installations built to serve them provide? Where do we find the conditions and facilities combined most favorably for the establishment of strategic bases to defend our shores from attack and to extend our striking power across the seas?
Who are the people on these islands? What do these islands contribute toward the support of population and what are their potentials? Is a crisis developing from growing population demands?
For which Pacific islands has the United States assumed responsibility as trustee? What is meant by the United Nations Strategic- Trust Territories? What significant questions are posed by nuclear tests on them? In what way is the United States accountable to the United Nations for the Trust Territories? What roles do the islands play in the air communications net of the Pacific? Are the island bases obsolete in the nuclear and missile age? What sort of future development may be envisaged for the Pacific islands administered by the United States?
These are questions of vital interest to Americans concerned with the growth of the United States in international stature and with the security of their homeland. This book addresses itself to answer-

Shot at Wanhua District in Taipei, Taiwan.
A truck was parked and a man wearing an orange T-shirt was standing beside it. He was a street vendor and selling bananas there. And a woman was just buying. Taiwan is one of the production areas of banana. So what he sold could a domestic product.
It is said this island was the northern limit to cultivate banana. Once Taiwanese banana was one of the major fruits in Japan until Ecuadorian and Philippine bananas dominated the market in the 1970s. Yet Taiwanese banana still enjoys an enduring popularity in Japan.

Every neighborhood has 'that house'. You know the one. The dwellers seem to be a bit strange and the property is unkempt. There may be obvious maintenance needs with city citations piling up inside their 'overstuffed with junk-mail' mailbox. The rest of the neighbors talk and shake their heads and the kids make up ghost stories on Halloween about dead bodies in the basement.
I lived by such a house in North Dakota. This one was tenant-less. Shutters hung tilted and one could get lost in the weeds and shrubs that ran wild like a bad hair day. In my mind, I see bats flying in and out of the windows night and day, although that most likely wasn't the case.
My neighborhood friends and I ignored the house — frankly, because there was so much more to do in the park across from my home. But on the occasions when we would walk down the street toward the local Dolly Madison bakery, we would walk on the opposite side of the street from the house. None of us mentioned why, even though — inside — we knew.
Kid fear is different from adult fear. Kid fear makes up monsters and beings and little gremlins that chase you down a dark street.
Adult fear is much worse. It drives us, stops us, defeats us and demolishes us. It weeds its way into the emotional framework of our dreams and tells us that we are not good enough, strong enough or worthy enough. It dusts off the file of past failures and asks us to consider the 'what ifs' of life. What if something horrible will happen? What if I get hurt? What if I try that relationship again and it fails? What if…?
Life is full of these. You may be feeling the 'what if fear' right now. And it is at the intersection of your fear and longing for fullness that Jesus steps in.
Throughout the Bible and specifically in the Gospels, Jesus meets you in the 'what if fear'. From the moment of his birth, humanity joined angels in declaring that fear is squelched by hope and doubt is relieved by love. John 14 recalls Jesus meeting you in your trial and trouble and struggle as he tells you "In this world, you're going to bounce along the bottom and hit the walls of hardship and fear. Yet I have overcome all of the consequences of your past failures and the guilt of your sin. I have entered into your story with a forever love and presence that gives you, shows you and tells you that it's going to be okay" (my paraphrase).
It is, you know. Your 'what if fear' will be okay. You are loved. You are forgiven and there is no fear in Jesus.
(study Romans 8:35-39)

African American fashion is evolving into a new phase. Call it the Obama effect or Rosewood Movement, but lately there's been a change across the sartorial landscape. Men are replacing gold chains for bow ties. Instead of wearing white Jordans, guys are satisfied slipping on a pair of oxfords. The Brooklyn Circus and the gents at The Street Etiquette are major forces in creating this dapper change.
Here they showcase "the Black Ivy" style.

General Theory of Relativity
Einstein's general theory of relativity requires a curved space for the description of the physical world. If one wishes to go beyond superficial discussions of the physical relations involved, one needs to set up precise equations for handling curved space. The well-established mathematical technique that accomplishes this is clearly described in this classic book by Nobel Laureate P.A.M. Dirac. Based on a series of lectures given by Dirac at Florida State University, and intended for the advanced undergraduate, General Theory of Relativity comprises thirty-five compact chapters that take the reader point-by-point through the necessary steps for understanding general relativity.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Guilford College's men's tennis team claimed all six singles matches in Wednesday's 8-1 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) victory over the visiting University of Lynchburg.
The Quakers improves to 6-4 (5-2 ODAC) with their third-straight victory. The Hornets fall to 6-7 (3-4 ODAC).
The Quakers opened by winning two of three doubles points. Elijah Gregory and Mason Robb blanked the Hornets' Vincent Oliver and Bryce Barber, 8-0, in the first-doubles flight. The second- and third-doubles matches both went down to the wire. Guilford's Jay Montague and Joe Horne scored an 8-6 win over Lynchburg's Daniel Christian and Colin Mullins. The Hornets' Brad Carson and Nick Savino pulled out an 8-6 triumph over Guilford's Kai Glass and Tim Thompson, which accounted for Lynchburg's point.
While a couple of matches were fairly close, the Quakers dominated in singles play with straight-set wins in all but one match. Thompson defeated Oliver at fifth singles, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. Montague made quick work of Savino at fourth singles with a 6-0, 6-0 win.
Coach Dave McCain's Quakers host Bridgewater College Saturday (4/6) in a 1:00 p.m. match on the McMichael Centennial Class Courts.

Future Self by The Globes (2011)
Kind of Like: Deerhunter, Trail of Dead, Deathcab
Genres: Indie, Rock, Experimental
Preview: Website
I saw these guys open for Tera Melos and Maps and Atlases in Toledo last year. And another time before that possibly opening for Fang Island, but I'm not positive. Either way, I was impressed by their live performance and their music, but they had yet to release an LP. Well, here it is, and it is a really strong debut.
"'Future Self' is unafraid of movement, not just within a song but throughout an entire album. It is done effectively enough to never allow Bowlegs to be deterred by its sporadic fluctuations. Each song grows, mutates and blossoms into a new minor chord or mood swing that is echoed in the compelling voice of Erik Walters. The final product is captivatingly experimental and purposeful music."

It is actually just my closet, that is crammed full of clothes that I semi like. My husband actually owns more of it than I do.
So this closet I speak of, is actually just me, being a me.
I realized that I needed something, I wanted something, I expected something.
I realized that I needed something, I wanted something, I expected something.
MY universe to deliver!
The countless self help, self development, self confidence..books, webinars, free ebooks...read them, engage with them and opened myself up to; there was a big thing missing in all of it.
the SELF part.
You can read the words and feel the motivation and at the same time I recognized that I was not all in. I was in 'the box' or 'the deep hole'.
You can hear the words, search for them and feel the message that is like a bull horn.
BUT...when you have put yourself in that 'hole' or 'box' all it does is give you some hope but it does NOT give you a ROPE.
Your inner voice
It all keeps you going, even if your 'going' is just making it through a day.
BUT it is not the rope. That you have to make yourself.

Eminem has released the full video for his track 'Venom', which appears on the soundtrack of the new Marvel film of the same name.
In the video we see a teenager discover a cracked CD case. As soon as he slips the disc into his rucksack, a transformation takes place. Riffing on the storyline of the new Spiderman spin-off film, 'Venom', the teen is possessed by a 'symbiote'.
Various characters, from a bus driver to a young boy to a pensioner, are then overtaken with the anger behind Eminem's lyrics. The rapper's face flickers across their faces as they rap along to the track.
Watch the full video below:
Although featuring on the 'Venom' soundtrack, the song first appeared on 'Kamikaze', Eminem's surprise album which was released last month.
The record hears Eminem fire shots at some of hip-hop's most recognisable faces, as well as sparking an ongoing back-and-forth feud with Machine Gun Kelly.
Venom debuted in cinemas yesterday to an overwhelmingly negative reaction.
In a two-star review, NME described it as "a flawed beast that feels 10 years out of time".
"Too often though, it proves to be a film without a solid identity, and one that feels a decade too late", our review stated.
"Venom could have been so much more, a real chance for Sony to mark the beginning of a darkened alternative universe that was capable of taking on the multiplex slaying might of the MCU.
"As it stands, it seems that there's very little for Disney to worry about."

Naming, visual identity, and website design for Arwen—secure cryptocurrency trading on centralized exchanges2019 · Services: Naming / Brand Identity / Design
Arwen—formerly known as Commonwealth Crypto—is a new trading application and trading protocol. Arwen enables trading at a centralized exchange without risking losing cryptocurrency, even if the exchange is hacked.
Based in Boston, Arwen's founders are seasoned experts in security and cryptography. They "designed a system where blockchains would provide the security rather than a central trusted party that can be targeted." By utilizing "on-blockchain escrows and off-blockchain atomic swaps," Arwen offers the best of centralized and decentralized cryptocurrency trading.
The Commonwealth Crypto team hired me to rename the company and create a visual identity to reflect their reliable, robust, and secure cryptocurrency offering. I helped the team identify the brand attributes, positioning, and metaphors that formed the foundation for the naming and design of the new brand.
As part of a brand definition process I led, we explored several metaphor directions for the name. The team liked the idea of nimble protection—things that shield or guard but are not rooted to one place.
A challenge was to avoid any name that would imply centralization. With cryptocurrency, decentralization provides better security and custodianship. Arwen, one of the name options I presented in the first round, is a fictional character and a wise and trusted protector of travelers—a personification of the metaphor direction.
After the team selected a name, I explored different design directions for the brand symbol and visual identity. Shown is the final design direction. The triangular shape resembles a capital letter A. The negative space within the brand symbol represents an instantaneous atomic swap—with another triangle beneath to reflect the swapped triangle. Atomic swaps are cryptographically enforced in the Arwen protocol. We later visualized atomic swaps a little differently so that the atomic swap icon was more accurate technically and consistent with the rest of the brand iconography.
The Arwen team and I worked iteratively to visualize key Arwen concepts—such as "locked on blockchain escrow"—and to create an icon design system that would be flexible enough to include common trading and cryptocurrency concepts like liquidity and blockchain. We also iterated on diagrams to explain how Arwen works for users and centralized exchanges.
After the naming and visual identity were approved, I worked on a third phase: designing Arwen's responsive website. Throughout the process, on all phases, I working closely with Scott Sigel, Arwen's head of BD and Marketing. During the website design phase we worked closely together on the copy and supporting illustration.

Make no mistake: all leggings are not created equal. While most do nothing for figure and fall apart after just a few wash, there are some standouts. And anyone who knows anything about activewear, knows that Sweaty Betty is leading the pack.
Case in point? Their new and improved Zero Gravity Leggings, which are pretty much everything you could ask for in a pair of leggings. Not only do they offer tons of support to enhance performance for both high- and low-impact workouts, but they are also insanely comfortable and crazy lightweight. Even better, sweat-wicking, quick-drying material means you stay dry no matter how intense your routine.
The best part about these leggings, though? The high-tech sculpting fabric allows them to shape your bum perfectly. Honestly, it's almost unreal how good these leggings make your tush look.

The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) (Spanish: Área de Libre Comercio de las Américas [ALCA], French: Zone de libre-échange des Amériques [ZLÉA], Portuguese: Área de Livre Comércio das Américas [ALCA], Dutch: Vrijhandelszone van Amerika) was a proposed agreement to eliminate or reduce the trade barriers among all countries in the Americas, excluding Cuba.
In the latest round of negotiations, trade ministers from 34 countries met in services and increased intellectual property rights, while less developed nations seek an end to agricultural subsidies and free trade in agricultural goods. Similar to the WTO talks, Brazil has taken a leadership role among the less developed nations, while the United States has taken a similar role for the developed nations.
Free Trade Area of the Americas began with the Summit of the Americas in Miami, Florida, on December 11, 1994, but the FTAA came to public attention during the Quebec City Summit of the Americas, held in Canada in 2001, a meeting targeted by massive anti-corporatization and anti-globalization protests. The Miami negotiations in 2003 met similar protests, though perhaps not as large.
In previous negotiations, the United States had pushed for a single comprehensive agreement to reduce trade barriers for goods, while increasing intellectual property protection. Specific intellectual property protections could include Digital Millennium Copyright Act-style copyright protections similar to the U.S.-Australia Free Trade Agreement. Another protection would likely restrict the reimportation or cross-importation of pharmaceuticals, similar to the proposed agreement between the United States and Canada. Brazil proposed a three-track approach that calls for a series of bilateral agreements to reduce specific tariffs on goods, a hemispheric pact on rules of origin, and a dispute resolution process; Brazil proposed to omit the more controversial issues from the FTAA, leaving them to the WTO.
The location of the FTAA Secretariat was to have been determined in 2005. The contending cities are: Atlanta, Chicago, Galveston, Houston, San Juan, and Miami in the United States; Cancún and Puebla in Mexico; Panama City, Panama; and Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The U.S. city of Colorado Springs also submitted its candidacy in the early days but subsequently withdrew.[2] Miami, Panama City and Puebla served successively as interim secretariat headquarters during the negotiation process.
The last summit was held at Mar del Plata, Argentina, in November 2005, but no agreement on FTAA was reached. Of the 34 countries present at the negotiations, 26 pledged to meet again in 2006 to resume negotiations, but no such meeting took place. The failure of the Mar del Plata summit to establish a comprehensive FTAA agenda augured poorly.
The FTAA missed the targeted deadline of 2005. This followed the stalling of useful negotiations of the
There are currently 34 countries in the Western Hemisphere, stretching from Canada to Chile that are standing members of the FTAA.[11] The Implementation of a full multilateral FTAA between all parties would be eased by enlargement of existing agreements. North America, with the exception of Cuba and Haiti (which has participated in economic integration with the Caricom since 2002)[12][13] are almost finished to set up a subcontinental free trade area. At this point Agreements within the Area of the Americas include:
On the weekend of April 20, 2001, the 3rd Summit of the Americas was a summit held in Quebec City, Canada. This international meeting was a round of negotiations regarding a proposed FTAA.
One of the most contentious issues of the treaty proposed by the United States is with concerns to patents and copyrights. Critics claim that if the measures proposed by the United States were implemented and applied this would reduce scientific research in Latin America. On the left-wing Council of Canadians web site, Barlow wrote: "This agreement sets enforceable global rules on patents, copyrights and trademark. It has gone far beyond its initial scope of protecting original inventions or cultural products and now permits the practice of patenting plants and animal forms as well as seeds. It promotes the private rights of corporations over local communities and their genetic heritage and traditional medicines".[10]
On the other hand, the then presidents of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and Argentina, Néstor Kirchner, have stated that they do not oppose the FTAA but they do demand that the agreement provide for the elimination of U.S. agriculture subsidies, the provision of effective access to foreign markets and further consideration towards the needs and sensibilities of its members.[9]
A vocal critic of the FTAA was Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez, who has described it as an "annexation plan" and a "tool of imperialism" for the exploitation of Latin America.[7] As a counterproposal to this initiative, Chávez promoted the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (Alternativa Bolivariana para las Américas, ALBA), vaguely based on the model of the Eurasian Economic Community, which makes emphasis on energy and infrastructure agreements that are gradually extended to other areas finally to include the total economic, political and military integration of the member states.[7] Also, Evo Morales of Bolivia has referred to the U.S.-backed Free Trade Area of the Americas, as "an agreement to legalize the colonization of the Americas".[8]
The following countries are in the plans of the Free Trade Area of the Americas:[6]

Halfway between their hometowns of Cincinnati, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky, lies the small town of Carrollton. Although only a little over 3,000 people call it home, for Justin Mosteller, Jeremy Menard, Michael Loy, and Jordan Bailey it signifies their brotherly bond, their music, and their namesake. Justin and Jeremy live in Cincinnati, while Michael and Jordan call Louisville home. Previously performing under the moniker Mosteller, Justin's last name, the band went through more than 100 possible names before landing on Carrollton. The band's common identity lies in their shared beliefs and love for music.
As a band they began to play at youth conferences and church services. It wasn't until the members found themselves at an artist retreat in Winthrop, Wash., that they realized the reality of their calling, the larger dreams God had for them and the hard work required. In 2014 they released their first EP, Breathe In Deep.
In 2016 Jeremy Menard departed from the band to be in the community in his church with his wife Katie. He was replaced by Joel Rousseau.

Equality objectives
Understanding the information gathered
Using the monitoring information gathered the school has looked at the following areas to identify whether there were any obvious gaps or potential issues for pupils in relation to the protected characteristics:
- Community
- Attainment
- Any prejudice related incidents
- Professional and diverse workforce
Admissions and Attendance
The school reflects the diversity of its community. The school also needs to reflect the diverse needs of children from these different cultures and backgrounds. The whole school attendance (including foundation stage) is currently 95.4% which is good. Our pupils are motivated to come to school and initiatives such as attendance focus weeks are in place to encourage them to do so. The executive headteacher refuses to authorise any term time holidays however, this is an area that still needs some work with parents/carers to reduce the number of unauthorised absences. These absences are related to families travelling abroad for periods of time.
Equality Objective: Develop a process to better engage with all communities in our local area.
Why: The background information shows that the majority of pupils come from a Bangladeshi ethnic group however, there is significant minority who come from a range of backgrounds. The school has a responsibility to ensure that our pupils understand what is happening in the school community, the local community, throughout the UK and in the world.
How: The school helps improve pupils' sense of belonging to a community by being involved in charitable acts and voluntary projects. Parents/carers who like to participate in school activities will be invited in to share various cultural experiences and fundraising events.
Outcome: An increase in the number of families represented in these groups and all groups of the school population represented and actively engaged.
Equality Objective: To ensure the attainment of non-EAL pupils, although few in number compared to EAL pupils, attain higher standards than those found nationally.
Why: Non-EAL pupils are attaining lower standards than those found nationally.
How: We will continue to target these pupils with appropriate interventions. Interventions are monitored and the impact is evaluated through data analysis and during termly pupil progress reviews.
Outcome: By continuing to focus on the development of these pupils with a range of interventions, attainment of this group is at or higher than national expectations.
Prejudice Related Incidents
Equality Objective: Raise awareness of different types of families and promote positive attitudes towards alternative lifestyles and promote acceptance towards other people's family backgrounds.
Why: Our children come from many different family backgrounds including single parent/carer, separated parent/carer, large families, small families and from parents/carers with second families.
How: Introduce parental engagement. The school wants to help parent/carers understand how they can support their child/ren's learning at home and in school so that each child will reach their full potential and have a rich and rewarding life, no matter what their family background is. The school will develop pupils' social skills to help them make the right choices.
Outcome: To raise social and cultural awareness and acceptance, thereby reducing the number of prejudice related incidents.
Professional and diverse workforce
Equality Objective: Ensure we maintain a professional and diverse workforce.
Why: We want all staff to continue to feel valued and be able to realise their full potential.
How: We will ensure that all staff are given the opportunity to access all developmental opportunities. This includes internal and external CPD as well as taking on management and leadership roles within the school setting.
Outcome: A professional workforce that feels valued and that they have been given every opportunity to develop to their full potential. We will measure the success of this by conducting staff surveys and through external agencies.

The 50-year-old nonprofit organization adapted the older sections –including the original sanctuary, Sunday school and banquet hall – as venues for expanded preservation programs as well as musical performances, corporate and cultural events and weddings. The 450-seat former sanctuary, called the Grand Hall, has become an elegant theater with stenciled walls, a domed ceiling and high-tech lighting effects.

Self-employed persons are participants of public health insurance and:
Should self-employed persons not pay premiums
duly and on time, they risk incurring a financial penalty from the
insurer. The insurer will recover insurance payments and the penalty
from that person.
These persons have access to sickness insurance in the form of voluntary participation.
If self-employed persons do not participate in public health insurance, they must take out contractual insurance with VZP.
I want to do business in the Czech Republic. How can I get insured? What do I have to do to get insurance?
In this case, it is necessary to differentiate between a number of different situations you might find yourself in:
Contractual health insurance can be agreed for a period of six to 12 months under the General Insurance Conditions.
The insurance coverage starts on the day given as the
start of insurance coverage in the contract and terminates on the expiry
of the agreed period. VZP provides supplementary health care for payment
for 12 months. In the case of long-term contractual insurance, the
policyholder can request an extension of the contract for the next
period before the expiry of the existing period. The system of payment
remains the same, but the initial medical examination is not undertaken
(after three years).
Premiums for short-term contractual health insurance are paid as a lump sum the day before commencement.

In the last month of the year, 2018, I explored a new skincare brand that was getting pretty popular among fellow Instagram friends. Every other day I would come across beautiful textural photos and propitious reviews. So, I did my own little research and bought few products (and Tina Sanders, the lovely founder, kindly gifted couple of products to me).
At the outset itself I must admit that I'm very impressed with the meticulous selection of ingredients included in each A.Florence product. It truly piques your interest to explore every single product from this skincare line and to quite an extent you won't be disappointed.
If you're not aware of A.Florence skincare, let me give you a brief background.
A. Florence is a nutrient-dense, high-performance skincare with cutting-edge formulas that blend advanced actives with organic botanicals.
Their unique skincare blends are hand-made from scratch and they do not use pre-mixed bases. To ensure freshness and ingredient potency, they hand-craft products in small batches in their London studio. As an eco-oriented company, they use recyclable glass and minimal packaging.
A. Florence is founded by Tina Sanders, whose eclectic background in pharmaceuticals, spa & beauty and nutrition has given her a genuine insight into the industry and what really works and what's unnecessary in skin products.
So after using the products for roughly about a month, I'm here with my detailed review on each of them.
This is by far the best cleanser I have tried after a long time. I was eager to try A.Florence skincare products in general and this one in particular.
There are some pretty interesting aspects of this cleanser.
This waterless Balm cleanser+Makeup remover is rich in negatively charged zeolite that effectively attracts and eliminates pollution from the surface of the skin. Zeolites are volcanic minerals that have many detoxifying and cleansing properties. Negatively charged natural minerals are very rare, which makes Zeolite a highly sought-after mineral.
The negative charge of Zeolite means that positive ions are attracted to it and will get trapped within the Zeolite. This is extremely useful for getting rid of any toxins that may be present on the surface of or within the skin. So when you rinse off the cleanser, it effectively draws out the toxins from within your skin.
There are some stellar ingredients included in this cleanser like, wild Babassu, Rose extract, hibiscus extracts, castor seed oil, safflower seed oil and perilla seed oil.
For a long time, I thought I could never adore any other cleanser as much as I love Mahalo The Unveil cleanser; then entered Moss skincare Beurre Céleste and it quickly attained an adjacent position to the Unveil. Both of them are versatile cleansers and brilliant multi-taskers with a gorgeous texture that are excellent for lymphatic drainage. Moreover, both of them effortlessly turn milky in contact with water, which is something I truly enjoy in cleansing balms. The indulgent experience you achieve from these two products (The Unveil & Beurre Céleste) definitely place them on a different pedestal.
So coming back to Balm-to-milk Cleanser – I've tried this balm cleansers on different occasions – with light makeup, heavy makeup and no makeup. And it has performed marvelously well in all situations. It completely removes heavy makeup; doesn't sting my eyes one bit; emulsifies oh so well; and rinses clean with water, leaving my skin feeling clean, soft, and well-hydrated.
If you're perplexed about its fragrance, that won't disappoint you either. I find its subtle citrus fragrance quite refreshing and uplifting.
So in my opinion, this Balm-to-milk cleanser performs just as well as my favourites Mahalo The Unveil & Moss skincare Beurre Céleste. And in my opinion, due to its economically ranged price point, it might have an edge over the other best performers of its ilk.
Super Serum is my next favorite product from this range. Why? Because one of the few potent ingredients that have gained sudden prominence is Vitamin C. And apparently, my skin responds very well to Vitamin C enriched skincare products. So after a series of astounding and fruitful experiences with Vitamin C serums, I'm drawn toward such products.
Super Serum is a multi-correctional formula that contains chock-full of antioxidants. High-performing actives like Vitamin C (10%), Co-Q10+, Astaxanthin, Green tea, Superoxide Dismutase and potent botanicals, like Arctic Cranberry and Amazon Pequi oil offer nourishment and protection to the skin from environmental pollution and prevent collagen degradation and pigmentation. Plus a meticulous infusion of anti-inflammatory herbs – Dandelion, Liquorice, Ginkgo biloba, Lemon balm, Marshmallow, Plantain and Calendula in synergy with Hyaluronic acid, Ceramides and Cholesterol address various skin concerns like dehydration, pore congestion, and loss of vitality.
"Super serum" is actually quite a befitting moniker for this serum. Super serum contains Vitamin C ester – Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate which, unlike L-ascorbic acid, doesn't exfoliate or irritate the skin and is suitable for even most sensitive skin types.
Traditionally, active serums are recommended for evening skincare rituals; however, Super Serum can be used both in the morning as well as in the evening. I really like that I can now include an active serum as a part of my morning ritual too.
Super serum is a hybrid between a serum and a moisturizer. It contains an impressive list of actives (like a serum) yet its texture is surprisingly light with a thicker consistency. It looks close to the Earthwise Beauty Ambrosia Del Cerrado moisturizer but is slightly dense in texture and color (deep yellow in color).
Super Serum absorbs really fast and leaves my skin adequately hydrated and nourished. I really like it as a day moisturizer for my oily and acne-prone skin. Super serum is essential oil and synthetic fragrance free. And there is very faint fragrance to it, which I couldn't point out. But their website mentions that Pequi oil gives this serum a light tropical scent reminiscent of pineapple. So if you're like me who doesn't fancy any strong or artificial fragrance, you'll be quite satisfied with its non-existent fragrance.
I'm through with the sample size (which was surprisingly fast for me!) of this serum and I definitely intend to purchase its full-size once I'm done with few other serums in my closet.
Hydration booster is an oil-free, multi-functional gel serum, which combines high-performance actives such as Peptides, 4% Niacinamide (vitamin B3) and a low and molecular weight Hyaluronic acid and Sodium Ascorby Phosphate.
Hyaluronic acid helps in plumping and hydrating the skin; while the Sodium Ascorby Phosphate controls hormonal breakouts and inflammation. Hydration Booster also contains botanical extracts of antioxidant-rich Green tea, Liquorice, and Ginkgo that aid in toning and smoothing skin, whilst protecting it from free radicals. Plus the botanical prebiotic complex in the formula helps in promoting friendly bacteria growth, resulting in a more resilient and healthy skin. It's definitely a true multi-tasker in all senses.
Hydration Booster serum has absolutely no fragrance and it feels quite soothing and calming to the skin. Akin to the Super Serum, Hydration Booster can be used both during the day and night. I like everything about this serum; however, the only downside for me is the stickiness I feel on the skin. I'm guessing the stickiness is due to the Hyaluronic Acid present in the formula. The stickiness doesn't dissipate even after hours and it bothers me to such an extent that I am compelled to wash it off my face. It's probably one of the main reasons I have reached for Super Serum on more occasions.
Blemish SOS Serum oil has been formulated with two powerful anti-bacterial ingredients – Black cumin and Andiroba oils & 2% deep-exfoliating Salicylic acid. It contains a blend of anti-inflammatory botanical extracts of organic Lemon Balm, Calendula, Ginkgo Biloba, Dandelion, Plantain and Liquorice which help in clarifying, re-balancing, and hydrating problematic skin types. Blemish SOS also contains a percent of potent Alpha-lipoic acid, which is known to slow down scar formation caused by acne.
I was actually pretty intrigued to try Blemish SOS Clarifying Oil (and also its contemporary Cleansing Oil) because it's an ultimate anti-acne treatment and contains two of the most highly potent actives beneficial for acne skin types – Black cumin oil & Salicylic Acid.
The oil is pale yellow in color, quite runny, and smells faintly citrusy and slightly minty due to the essential oils of Fragonia, May chang, Rosewood and Rose Geranium.
Initially I was quite excited to try this face oil and I used it religiously for about a week. I didn't have any active breakouts to test it on, but I really wanted it to help with some old acne scars on my cheeks. But then after a week the excitement fizzled out and I focused on other actives in my skincare routine.
Unfortunately, I didn't notice any visible improvement in my acne scars. But in all fairness, the website mentions that one should expect a smoother and a clearer complexion within a fortnight. Perhaps if I had continued using it as directed, it would have helped with my acne scars.
Hydrating Gel cleanser is a simple, super gentle, and a non-foaming cleanser. It contains some pretty amazing green ingredients like matcha green tea, and chlorella (that lend pale green color to this cleanser); and aloe, pro-vitamin B5, oat, and hyaluronic acid. Because of such nourishing ingredients, it can used as a hydrating flash mask as well as a cleanser.
Hydrating Gel Cleanser is a non-stripping gel that gently removes makeup, grime, and excess oil. It effectively cleanses without any irritation and/or drying the skin. Its texture and color reminds me so much of Earthwise Beauty Marshmallow Suds cleanser that I had used few months back.
Hydrating Gel cleanser has a gooey texture but can be easily to applied on the skin. I have used it as a morning cleanser and as a first cleanser in my evening skincare ritual to remove makeup. It does a fair job as a morning cleanser; however, it is very effective as a second step in my evening double cleansing routine.
Hydrating Gel cleanser contains no common skin irritants and allergens so it can be used by all skin types, including rosacea and breakout-prone and sensitive skin. The only flipside for me is its fragrance. There is no added fragrance in the cleanser, as the brand claims. However, there's a subtle citrusy scent due to the grapefruit and neroli hydrolat present in the formula, which just doesn't work for me!
Blemish SOS Cleansing Oil is specifically formulated for breakout-prone skin types. This oil is extremely soothing for inflamed skin and revitalizing for sluggish complexions. The emulsifying and clean-rinsing formula is enriched with natural 5% Papaya enzymes and 2% willow bark derived Salicylic acid to gently exfoliate the skin while helping with inflammation. It has a gentle, light fragrance derived from grapefruit oil, along with hints of jasmine and rosewood.
Using Salicylic Acid as a key ingredient in a cleansing product is such a brilliant idea in my opinion. I also love the fact that this cleansing oil slightly emulsifies and rinses clean with water. Blemish SOS Cleansing Oil definitely feels quite soothing to the skin; however, I'm not sure how effective it was in helping with active breakouts and other skin conditions. Well, that's because there are always so many actives in different products I use in my skincare ritual that it's difficult to attribute the merits to just one product.
Blemish SOS is an effective cleanser, which removes makeup effortlessly. Unfortunately this oil cannot be used on the eye area because of the high salicylic acid content. Frankly, I don't mind it because I don't really wear eye makeups often but it could be an off-putting aspect for some!
Have you tried any A.Florence skincare products? Which one is your favorite? I would love to know!

A Profound Tagore Song
dhAi jeno mOr sokol bhAlObAshA
In spite of one's pre-occupation with the mundane activities of the 'I', let one remain directed towards one's Real Nature of Life and Love.
Is it possible to be free of all opinions, of all borrowed ideas and thus be innocent and uncorrupted? Such an awareness does not seek. There is no awakening in awareness so long as the image persists that one is a 'seeker'. There is then a stillness without any want, without a movement whatsoever. This is not an achievement, not a thing to be bought in the market 'spiritual'. It comes into being only when one is in Swadhyay, that is, when one understands the ways of the 'me' – not through the directions from others – the 'me' which is the result of various impacts, impressions, memories, conflicts, conditionings, conventions, cultural inputs, vanities, vested interests, fears, guilt and so on. It is unfortunate that human endeavour has gone into the pursuit of everlastingly becoming something other than his inherent natural state of 'no-I'.

The Politics of Economic (dis)Connections and Flows in Development
- Room:
- Room 2.30A, Law & Politics Building
- Time Slot:
- Wednesday 28th March 13:30 - 15:00
- Panel Chair:
- Dr Indrajit Roy (University of York)
- Panel Members:
- Ms Sarah Jane Cooper-Knock (University of Edinburgh)
- Dr Andrew Bowman (University of Edinburgh)
- Dr Ilias Alami (Maastricht University)
- Mr Gianluca Iazzolino (London School of Economics )
Economic flows have complex political origins and consequences: Why do these flows emerge or falter? What forms of connection and disconnection do they foster? Who ultimately benefits from their existence? How are they contested? What forms of solidarity do they encourage or fracture? What unintended or unforeseen impacts do they have? Understanding this political picture more fully can help us to better enable, resist or reconfigure these economic flows and (dis)connections. It can also assist us in deconstructing the narratives that so quickly form around them, such as the celebratory narratives that surround the notions of 'social enterprise' 'gig economies' 'digital outsourcing' 'social impact bonds' 'mobile money' or 'remittances' in many public fora. This panel will sit within the Development Politics stream of the Political Studies Association and is part of a broader effort to ensure that discussions of 'good change' at the heart of development studies are truly global. As such, we welcome papers focusing on the Global North and the Global South.

3rd Sunday of Advent
The liturgical theme of the Third Sunday of Advent is JOY. The first and second readings invite us to rejoice and exult with all our hearts because God is present in our midst. We should be joyous because the Lord Jesus is coming to bring us salvation.
This invitation of encountering Jesus is for everyone and should be answered daily, as in His first Apostolic Exhortation: Evangelii Gaudium (The joy of the Gospel), Pope Francis writes: "I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day. No one should think that this invitation is not meant for him or her, since "no one is excluded from the joy brought by the Lord" (No.3).
However, in order to enjoy the fullness of the joyfulness given by God, we must prepare our hearts. The message, that God wants to send to us through John Baptist, is repeated. Many of us still know not what to do. "What can I do?" is the question raised by many people of different classes. Saint John the Baptist gives us the answer by showing us the way of living that helps us to receive God's mercy (Luke 3:10-15).
Christmas is the season of joy when God meets humanity in the humble stable. Heaven and earth meet in the very Person of Christ. Welcoming the Child Jesus into our lives is receiving heavenly joy. This is seen clearly in the Blessed Virgin Mary who when received the message from the angel Gabriel, sang an exultant hymn (Magnificat) to God, and so in the Shepherds who were delighted to see the Saviour, glorifying and praising God for all what they had heard and seen (Luke 2:20).
May our lives always be filled with the true joy which only comes from God. May our charitable works and services bring joy to the world and enable them to recognize God's presence in every moment of their life and therefore praise God.
God bless.

I'm a sucker for time travel stories. I love Doctor Who (well, I did. I'm not really feeling the Matt Smith incarnation, but that's a story for another day). I enjoy books like The Time Traveller's Wife and 11/22/63. When I read the reviews that a few other Cannonballers had written about The Future of Us, I made a mental note to add it to my list. Two days ago, I saw it being reshelved at my library and decided to move it to the top of the reading pile.
For those unaware, The Future of Us is the story of Emma and Josh, next door neighbors and former best friends who discover a weird portal to the future when they install AOL on Emma's new computer in 1996. After AOL welcomes them, they find a link to a website called "Facebook" under their favorites tab, and figure out that they can see how their lives will look 15 years in the future. And that those futures seem to change every time they hit the refresh button.
They quickly realize that every decision and action that they make in 1996 has an effect on their future lives in 2011. (SPOILER) Emma doesn't like the treatment she's getting from her future husband? She calls him up (after going to the public library to find his phone number in an actual phone book, not using Google), and simply asks where he went to college. When she finds out he goes to Tampa State, the school she was putting at the top of her applications list, she simply decides not to apply there. The next time she looks at her Facebook page, she's married to someone else in the future.
Even miniscule actions and decisions lead to changes in their futures. Pour water on the carpet and find out that in the future you'll live in Ohio. Mention that you'll never live in Ohio, and find out that you live in London. And so on and so forth.
The Future of Us was written in alternating chapters, with Emma narrating first, and then Josh. I have to assume that each author was in charge of one of the characters, but it doesn't specifically spell out how the writing was done. Did Carolyn Mackler write the character of Emma? Or Josh? I have no idea. But I found Josh to be the more complete and far more likable of the two. Emma spent too much time whining about her future and blaming everyone else for her bad future decisions, while Josh simply took control of his own life in the present in order to decide if the future as written on Facebook was the right one for him.
Not my favorite time travel story, but a fun, quick read. I enjoyed all of the 90s references and remembering how life was back before everything was online and immediate.

For example, SHA1 results in a string 40 characters long, so you should use a 40-character salt. In PHP, the most secure solution is to use the Be sure to store the salt in the database record, too, so that it can be used again during verification of the credentials.If your site stores user credentials, then you inevitably have users who forget their passwords.
If you're using My SQL as your database application, you can use SHA2.
They just need to be random, relatively unique, and the longer the salt is, the better.
A single-character salt is better than none at all, but ideally the salt should be the same length as the output of the hash itself.
For example, requiring users to log in is an imposition on them, but is often a reasonable imposition to make.
The reason I'm explaining all this is that you need to decide when and how to implement the following specific ideas based upon the particulars of your site and its sensitivities.
Storing hashed versions of passwords is far, far more secure than storing passwords in plain text, but that alone is not secure enough under many situations.
Better security can be attained by adding a "salt" to a password prior to hashing it.
The value needs to be kept in a safe place, such as a secure file in which it's defined as a PHP constant.
Of course, the same secret key and algorithm must be used to hash the user's password upon registration and to compare the password during login attempts.
By doing so, even if multiple users have the same password, the stored hashed versions differ.
A common mistake is to think that the salts have to be secretthey don't.
A is the bit of programming that generates a hash of a value.

During the past month, we have all once again seen what a large oil company can do to the environment. By now, some people think, BP's oil spill is old news, but they seem to fail to see the gravity that the situation has on the environment. That's right; BP – well not so much the company itself, but other people talking about the company – is everywhere, along with many oil-covered animals.

In her post, "Programming - Our Ongoing Controversy in Public Radio," Ronish sums up the general industry practices this way:
Most public stations have a music director or program director who chooses all the music, though a few brave ones let the hosts choose their own. Most do "dayparting" where they choose upbeat music in the morning, longer works in the evening, and calming music at night. They have hierarchies they've developed from focus groups: no vocal music, definitely no solo harpsichord, nothing dissonant, play chamber music sparingly, lots of orchestral music, plenty of Baroque and Classical but not much 20th century, and go easy on too much flute and violin.Well, count us as one of the brave ones, then. Here at WTJU each announcer gets to choose their own music.
There are some guidelines, of course.
1) Avoid playing the same work sooner than six weeks from last airing. This may seem like a long time, but play something twice in the same months and we'll get call complaining that we're airing the same thing "all the time."
2) Respect the music -- air complete works. There are exceptions, of course. Opera overtures, individual lied, and other pieces meant by the composer to be excerpted are fine. But if you're going to air a symphony, air all the music, not just the slow movment.
3) Program classical music. This can be as messy as trying to figure out the line between porn and art ("I'll know it when I see it" - or in this case, hear it). But on the whole, this means sticking to the work as originally composed. So a Beethoven piano sonata on piano, fine; arranged for accordion and pan flutes, probably not. There's much more to this guideline, enough to merit a post by itself (which I'll do another time).
4) If it's worth listening to, it's worth airing. So, at WTJU, there are really no banned genres. Choral music, solo voice, solo violin, organ, contemporary music, medieval music, renaissance music -- if the announcer thinks it's worth presenting to the audience, then out it goes.
We could certainly expand our coverage by reigning in our volunteer announcers. Were we to follow Marty Ronish's outline, WTJU might have a larger audience. But would it still be WTJU?
Our continued commitment to our free-roaming programming suggests we've already asked and answered that question.
But what's your opinion?

By Steve Heeb
The trip from Lake Tapps, Wash., to Puyallup is but a few miles. But for Linda Smith and her pair of '58 Impalas, showing up at the Goodguys Pacific Northwest Nationals this summer marked the end of a very long journey.
It was the first time the vintage Chevies had seen daylight since Linda's husband David passed away in 2003.
"The cars had been on the lift for the past nine years," Linda says. "I had never taken them out."
She recalls how David loved the 1958 model and had tried to get her interested.
"He took me to a show room and we looked at a root beer brown one," she laughs. "I thought they were ugly."
She warmed up to the car when she and David took a liking to one for sale at the Hot August Nights Silver Auction in 1996.
"We made an offer and the owner took it right off the auction," she says.
Their first Impala was blue and boasted a 348-cid engine. They took it to Hot August Nights gathering in Reno and the Goodguys show in Puyallup where it won the Memory Lane Award.
Now fully in love with the car, David and Linda picked up another '58 Impala the following year.
"We tried the same thing, but this time the car went to auction," she recalls. "It got to a certain price and the bidding slowed down. An auction worker asked if I would go $200 higher and David said yes. Suddenly that was our bid and that was it. We bought the car."
The new car, decidedly Linda's car, was a brilliant Rio Red and soon was beating David's blue Impala at car shows they went to.
In 1997, she and David contacted the Automotive Information Clearing House to find out more about their classic rides.
"As of March 1997 their records showed only 683 in existence," Linda says of the AIC report. "Only 11 were in Washington and we owned two of them."
In addition to the pair of Impalas, David and Linda also had a '41 Bantam Roadster and a '59 Corvette automatic. They sold the Corvette in 2001 and another car caught Linda's eye.
While showing their Impalas at a Goodguys show she fell in love with a '32 Phaeton owned by Mike Vogler who was selling a T-bucket at the time.
"I told him I preferred the '32 and he said it was not for sale," Linda smiles. "He eventually sold it to us anyway."
Linda recalls driving the '32 back up from Oregon in the rain.
"There aren't any windows of course," she laughs.
She also remembers David insisting on the family making a quick visit to a Fourth of July car show on Tacoma's Ruston Way.
"He got us to the show and we were trapped," Linda says.
"It really was his passion," daughter Angela says of her father's love for street rods.
"These cars were like his little grandchildren," Linda says. "He had pictures of them on his key-ring viewer."
Freeway Trailers owner Mike Rendell recalls selling Linda a trailer for David's Impala during a Goodguys show.
"She came over to our booth the first thing on the Friday and said she wanted to get her husband a trailer as a birthday present," Mike says.
"We took care of them," adds Russell Stevenson, who helped make sure David's gift would be just right. "They're just awesome street rod people."
David and Linda were happy to share their vintage vehicles for special occasions. They provided the blue Impala for the weddings of family friends including David and Janell Qunell's daughter Angela and Brian Wilson, and Patty and Coy Anglin's daughter Lyndi and Tim Baublits in 2002.
Sadly, David passed away in July 2003 after courageously battling colon cancer.
In 2008, daughter Angela chose to get married July 12, the five year anniversary of David's passing.
"I wanted there to be a happy memory for that date," she explains.
She says that having one of the family's street rods as part of the ceremony was very special to her.
"It was like having my dad there with me," Angela says of using the '32 Phaeton. "Every girl dreams of having her father walk her down the aisle. It was my way of having him be part of the wedding."
Linda hauled the car to Walla Walla for the ceremony herself, but trouble loomed when the car refused to start when it was time to drive it off the trailer.
The frustrated bride was not going to let the stubborn street rod spoil their plans without a fight.
"I shouted 'C'mon Dave!' and it started immediately," Angela says. "He really was there."
In 2012, Linda contacted Terry Suschinski of the Auburn-based Vetteworks Motorsports to to bring the Impalas back to life.
"It was a dream working on these cars," Terry says. "There's a lot of original components and really nothing aftermarket on them."
Linda spent countless hours detailing the cars and overseeing the mechanical work that was done.
"She was the least pest-iest pest I've ever dealt with," Terry laughs.
The hard work paid off as the Impalas were ready for the annual Goodguys gathering, the blue Impala being finished just a day before the show.
"The goal was to get them out to the show," Angela says of the car's first outing in nine years. "Mission accomplished."
