To all Custodial Staff,
It has come to our attention that some of our members have been "appointed" to their building's Safety & Health Committees by the Principal/Administrator. This violates the Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health Act and the WSD Policy.
From The Workplace Safety and Health Act;
Membership of committee
40(8) A committee
(a) shall consist of not fewer than four or more than 12 persons, of
whom at least 1/2 shall be persons
(i) representing workers who are not associated with the
management of the workplace, and
(ii) appointed in accordance with the constitution of the union that
is the certified bargaining agent or that has acquired bargaining
rights on behalf of those workers, or where no such union exists,
persons elected by the workers they represent; and
(b) shall have two co-chairpersons — one chosen by the employer
members on the committee, and the other chosen by the worker
members on the committee — who shall alternate in serving as
chairperson at meetings of the committee and shall participate in all
decisions of the committee.
From WSD Policy
(c) Employee groups within the school, as required under the Workplace Safety and Health Act, shall
appoint their representatives to the committee.
Please contact myself, Bruce Morton, (204-228-1002), or Ray Ford (204-223-5781), if this applies to your building.
Bear in mind that we do have to have a representative on each committee, but the representative is to be determined by the Local 110 members in each building. Short of that, the union will cast the deciding vote.

Letter to the Editor:
To start, Pallister tells Labour that our ability to negotiate a fair Collective Agreement is about to be impeded. Now he wants us to prematurely open our Collective Agreements; thus giving the province and/or affected employers another chance to butcher fairly negotiated contractual language, and/or possibly affect our nominal increases in a negative way.
Firstly: only an idiot would agree to open our collective agreement prematurely.
Secondly: perhaps Premier Pallister should practice restraint regarding his own wages.
Thirdly: according to many Labour Leaders, we (Labour) will not take this constant assault laying down.
Get ready for a knock-down-drag-out fight, Mr. Pallister.

Letter to the Editor
FROM: Terry Egan, President, Local 110 Canadian Union of Public Employees
Minimum wage is frozen, thus the working poor remain poor.
Organized Labour has just been told our ability to negotiate a fair Collective Agreement is about to be impeded.
Many Manitoban's have to hold 2 part-time jobs to make ends meet. Manitoban's are working for inferior wages, poor working conditions, and all around disenfranchised.
The supposed workers party (The NDP) lost the election and rightfully so. With all the publicized back stabbing and disorganization, not to mention the party forgetting its deep Labour roots, we deserved it.
Organized Labour has to now take the forefront and represent the people who pay our wages.
We have to have noticed that everything leading to the WINNIPEG 1919 GENERAL STRIKE is happening again.
Unions, as well as Labour organizations, better pull it together and remember just who pays good monies for their representation.
The dues paying members are watching and they deserve their positions and their rights to be represented and to be represented well.
Labour has to put our petty differences aside and work productively and respectfully together in order to protect our members right to a fair bargaining process.
Leadership of organized Labour better step it up in preparing to represent the dues paying members in a big way and not just in lip service.
Maybe 2017 will become the new 1919… perhaps it's time.

Re: Grievance Article(s) (2, 9 and 34)
We the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 110, are requesting, a meeting to discuss the following with the explanation attached, at your earliest convenience.
That the Divisions Human Resources Dept. act as the administrator/negotiator/interpreter regarding the Collective agreement meet between ourselves and the Winnipeg School Division administration.
In light of the past 2 grievances involving 2 schools,and in light of the numerous views and/or interpretation of our Collective agreement … (we have over 85 buildings with as many as 85 different interpretations of our Collective Agreement) … as well as the lack of Human Resources skills shown by some School Administrators. We do not feel this request to be unreasonable.
We agree that some School administrators have the skills required to conduct business with the Union as well some seem to have an understanding and/or abilities regarding Labour Law as well as Human Rights legislation, but most do not.

Exec 110
September 6th 2016 Welcome Back!
We will be having our Union nominations this Sunday. Nominations will be taken from the floor or you can file papers with the secretary regarding your intentions to run along with a signed nominator. This Sunday is the only time nominations will be taken and no one runs from the floor during the election process.
At our Union election most of the existing executive will be running for a position on the new executive. Some positions are open with no existing executive member seeking those positions. One would be Warden, another Secretary, as well as a Head Caretaker Steward.
The people who are interested in positions so far are
President (myself Terry Egan)
Vice President (Hamid Hamzeh)
Treasurer (Swaran Dhaliwal)
Secretary (open) however, John Hearn has shown interest and is seeking a nomination.
Warden (open) however, Terry Storoszczuk has shown interest and is seeking a nomination.
Head Caretaker Steward (open) however, Adam Petrash has shown interest and is seeking a nomination.
2 Assistant Caretaker Reps (Rick Petschel and Randy Goshey)
Painter Rep (Frank Harder)
Utility Rep (Abe Araya)
Mechanical (Andrew Vroom)
2 Health and Safety (Bruce Morton) with no one as of yet showing interest in the second H&S position.
As you can see most of the existing executive is re-seeking election. Nelson Petrash, our secretary, is retiring from the executive not the division and will be sadly missed. I have been with Nelson for years, and have known him well before being on the Exec.
The education process regarding protecting our uniqueness ie: such as NO PART TIME WORKERS, JOB SECURITY, PROTECTION FOR OUR 5TH CLASS TICKETS and NO CHANGES TO OUR PENSION PLAN. The on going policing of our benefits package and the list goes on. For all new executive Members. will start asap.
I have worked for our union for some 20 years now and have watched the Executive change almost over night. I am very proud of my guys as some have done some major stepping up regarding membership representations, negotiations and protecting our contractual language and our political station.
Swaran has not only stepped up to the Treasurer position but has watched over our interests in our Pension Plan.
Abe is a great chair of wage and grievance as well as being my personal second.
Frank has watched over our benefits package for years now.
Bruce and Abe also represent our Union at the National level in H&S and Political action.
Hamid is a loyal 110 supporter and is willing to be educated regarding all aspects of our Biz.
Rick is well on his way to being a major player in 110.
Randy is doing great.
Andrew has become a valuable resource to myself in many areas.
Regarding myself, I can make the following commitment. Although I have had many opportunities to either work else where or to retire from the Union and/or the Division, I have chosen and continue to choose 110, its where my loyalties are ….. I do not need the money.
As well … I will not leave 110 high and dry and commit that unless my health worsens … I will complete the term … if elected.
In Solidarity with 110

Dear Mr. Barnaby,
The outside Union representing the painters,flooring mechanics and plasterers is all but non-existent. The provincial wage standard regarding painting and flooring mechanics is higher dollar wise than the outside negotiated rate. The minimum standard now for a flooring mechanic is over $28 per hour.
We were set to enter into the negotiating process regarding the afore mentioned in November 2016 but because of the extreme wage difference regarding the supposed outside Union rate and actual wages paid, there would be to great of a difference for this situation to continue on any longer than it already has. As well, there is no industrial rate for painters even advertised. We are requesting to re enter the negotiating process regarding the Painters, flooring mechanics and plasterer in early September.
Further, regarding the 3 job classifications mentioned, we no longer want to be tied to the outside rate of some non-existent or non-functioning union.
Please RVSP

To The Members of CUPE Local 110
Nominations for executive positions will be accepted at the regular Union meeting in September 2016 followed by the election process taking place at the October 2016 meeting. All nominations must be brought forward in September. Nominations will not be accepted from the floor at the October meeting.
If you are the successful candidate and are on the executive of CUPE Local 110, you will be expected to attend courses related to negotiations and representations. All successful candidates will have to attend other Union schooling regarding political action, human rights and labour law. Attendance to political activities as well as keeping up to date with changes in legislation pertaining to Union activities (Labour Law, Public Schools Act, Workplace Safety and Health, etc.) is also expected. Some weekends and some after work time is typical, along with monthly executive meetings. It is especially important that successful candidates be willing to educate themselves or be educated regarding how to maintain an effective and cost efficient benefits package.
Local 110 is very unique. We have unique language regarding contracting out, our numbers clause and the fact the we do not have any part time workers. Further, one of the most important things you are going to have to deal with in the next little while is the protection of our pension plan. Our pension plan is probably if not the best, one of the best in the country and has been maintained that way due to our aggressive nature, our political acumen, and our unique way of participating in political action.
If you look around the country right now, pension plans are being busted apart; you may as well be only be buying RRSPs. Pension attacks have previously affected private industry and now public industry is under fire. Air Canada was affected before and now there is an attack to the pension plan of postal workers. Our participation in our pension plan is aggressive and being led by Swaran Dhaliwal, and supported by Abe Araya and Andrew Varoom.
We have set a high standard at this local and keeping the best representation possible for the membership. So, if you are willing to put the time in to learn, we are willing to put in the time to teach you.
Good luck to all who run.
In solidarity with 110

PS: We will advertise the interested parties for the positions in the very near future

News concerning our by-laws
At our April 10, 2016 General Meeting we voted on a notice of motion that was submitted at our January meeting. The motion is:
For a member to run for a position on the Executive, Table Officers, Stewards, or any committees including Trustees; a member must have attended 75% of the General Meetings and Special Meetings should they be called over the (2) two year period between elections. Should there be a bi-election the 75% will be based on (2) two years prior to bi-election.
This motion was passed requiring all members who plan to run in future elections to attend seventy-five percent of the meetings. This motion has to pass through Cupe National before changes will take effect.
Those members in attendance voted overwhelmingly in favor of the above mentioned notice of motion, and believe it to be a positive step forward.
This motion added to our bylaws ensures that any brothers and sisters wishing to run in any future elections will have proved their commitment and dedication by being active in our union prior to running.
It's yet another insurance in the continued protection of our local's best interest.

Regarding our Benefit package.
Frank Harder, Swaran Dhaliwal and myself went to Saskatoon to re-negotiate our benefits package.
- It was well worth the time and lengthy travel to address our concerns with no financial increase for our members.
Your negotiating committee work very hard on our behalf.
Thank you Frank and Swaran.

Letter to the Editor:
Regarding the Winnipeg School Division Board of Trustees:
I was surprised to read the article that came to the conclusion that (The Winnipeg School Division Board of Trustees is out of control).
The Winnipeg School Division Board of Trustees was elected to represent the wants and needs of the constituents in their particular wards in a democratic process.
The people, living and working within the Winnipeg School Division elect people from their specific areas to represent our values and needs regarding the education of our children.
In my eyes, the Board of Trustees act as the governing body for the School Division and is or should be responsible for assuring that the Administration also represents the wants and needs of the people living within the boundaries of the Winnipeg School Division.
So to suggest that the Board of Trustees sit back and support Administration decisions without considering and/or representing the publics input or direction is an unrealistic/ridicules view.
Regarding the time restriction to "put the Board of Trustees house in order.¨ There is an election process regarding putting people in the political positions in the Winnipeg School Division. That opportunity comes open every 4 years. At which time they will be judged democratically.
Just as the provincial government shall be judged in 2016.
Terry Egan President Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 110

Regarding the Disability part of our Pension Plan … The fights the Union takes on are never ending:
Did you know:
1) To my understanding the Winnipeg School Division Pension Plan was set up with the disability part of our plan attached to and or being part of the pension plan.
2) Also to my understanding the pension plan already had safe guards put in place regarding the plan's ability to support employees of the Division. Such as, the motion passed years back by Mario Santos regarding the Division being responsible for all short falls of our plan. As well, I understand that the committee has the power to recommend changes to the plan however I believe such changes would have to be agreeable to all parties concerned.
I would find it almost impossible to believe that even if investment returns were not as rich as they have been in the past that there would be any support from either the committee members or the Board of Trustees regarding any type of changes to the plan that could negatively effect our members. i.e. changing to a money purchase plan or support for any type of negative benefit changes.
3) As far as I know there are no such pension regulations that force any type of plan changes such as have been implemented.
Regarding the minutes of the meeting held on June 13th 2012
4) Although I did not know Barbra Hogan, I understand now that she was an employee of the Division. I also understand now that she informed the committee of her opinions but I don't know if she was also privy to the information from points 1, 2, and 3 above.
5) No where does it show in this meeting any motion to separate the plan's structure to read disability benefits as not part of the regular pension plan.
6) This meeting shows committee members were informed of the way things are. However, I do not believe any of the members sitting in committee were made aware of Points 1, 2, and 3 above, as well the minutes do not show there was voting on the issue.
7) Finally: The minutes of this meeting were not signed by either the Chair or the Secretary.
Terry Egan President 110
It seems some people don't like that we decided to support a few or a couple of candidates regarding the up coming election process ….. The people "we" are supporting are not all labour endorsed ….. but are indeed endorsed by this local for reasons that are obvious to us and has been explained to our members (110 members) …. I personally don't like some of the Labour endorsed candidates that appear on Local 110's list but believe that they are the best candidates for the positions they run for …… HOWEVER …. If you are running for a position and want your name removed from our list (I will do so), in fact I believe there is a few more days before elections and I could do so publicly if you wish as I could put a dozen or so people on the street delivering the fact that you no longer require our support.
In Closing I represent what we believe is best for this Local period …. T

Will Reality Spring Back?
Will Reality Spring Back? Apprentice, Amazing Race off to sluggish starts By Ben Grossman
While American Idol's audition stage has come and gone, March kicks off a new array of tryouts for the broadcaspt networks. They'll trot out the last of their midseason replacements, hoping for a spring hit like ABC's Grey's Anatomy from a year before.
But with the Olympics over and spring schedules falling into place this week and next, the networks will also be keeping watchful eyes on their returning reality shows.
After the disappointing Olympics left NBC in third place for the February sweeps, the network hopes another competition, Deal or No Deal, grabs the gold.
The early returns were good, with the game show winning its regular Monday 8 p.m. time slot in its first outing (Deal ended with a 4.5/12 average in 18-49). While NBC stripped the show the rest of the week to less-impressive returns, it will now scale back to two times a week, with an episode also on Fridays at 8 for the next month.
Mitch Metcalf, NBC executive VP of program planning and scheduling, says the network wants to use Deal to launch its new Friday-night lineup, which features the relocated Las Vegas at 9 and debuting Dick Wolf drama Conviction at 10. But Metcalf knows that using the game show multiple times in a week risks going down the path of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, which flickered out quickly when ABC ran it too often.
"It's a balancing act," Metcalf says. "While it's hot, there is always the temptation, but you want to do what's right for the show and not burn it out too quickly."
Metcalf adds that NBC probably won't use Deal over the summer but will assess the situation in a few weeks.
A more troubling note for NBC was the debut of the latest installment of The Apprentice, which was the lowest season premiere to date with a 3.9 rating/9 share in 18-49 in its new Monday 9 p.m. slot.
Metcalf blames the sluggish debut on stiff competition from ABC's season finale of resurgent The Bachelor and notes that Donald Trump's normal reality competition will be a less threatening Supernanny.
He says NBC won't use one episode to judge whether the Apprentice franchise is getting tired. "There is always a concern with any reality franchise. They seem to age at different rates than scripted shows, and it's something you always look at," he says. "Let's see how we finish up."
Losing the Race?
CBS is also keeping an eye on a returning reality franchise after The Amazing Race debuted lower than each of its previous two season premieres. But the first episode ran into the Idol buzz-saw until its final half-hour, when its numbers perked up to finish with a 4.1/10 average in 18-49.
CBS is hoping Race rebounds from last season, which went with a family format that underwhelmed fans. Kelly Kahl, CBS executive VP of scheduling and program planning, says a fallback is flipping Race with The Unit, which is Race's lead-in Tuesdays at 9.
He adds that the network is "thrilled" with its other reality competition, Survivor, which is off to another strong start. Kahl thinks both venerable franchises still have a strong future: "There is plenty of kick left in both of them."
ABC's reality competition slate still looks strong with The Bachelor and Dancing With the Stars, and it hopes to add a player this month in American Inventor, from Simon Cowell.
In addition to Idol, Fox has So You Think You Can Dance and Hell's Kitchen returning. But it has yet to decide whether or not to give Skating With Celebrities a spin for season two.

Make Trinity College Dublin a single-use plastic free campus!
This petition had 5,989 supporters
Our goal is to eliminate the sale and use of single-use plastics on the TCD campus. This includes cutlery, cups, bottles and packaging made from disposable, non-compostable plastics.
Now that Trinity has divested from fossil fuels, this should be our next step as a Green Flag campus.
It is incredibly difficult to go plastic free when buying lunch, a snack, coffee or even a pint on campus. We live in an increasingly 'disposable' world and plastic cutlery, cups, bottles, plates, and packaging are everywhere. These items account for the majority of our everyday waste, much of which ends up in our eco-systems, waterways or landfill. Compostable single-use and reusable alternatives do exist and are increasingly available in cafes, restaurants and shops around Ireland.
Solutions for our Campus:
- The removal of single-use plastics (plastic water bottles, plastic cutlery, plastic plates, styrofoam containers, plastic straws, plastic bags & plastic food/drink containers) from campus.
- Introduce eco-friendly and compostable cutlery, coffee cups, bottles & other utensils in campus shops, restaurants & cafes.
- Introduce compost bins around campus.
- Increase the number of functioning water-fountains around campus.
- Increase awareness on campus about the damaging effects of single-use plastic consumption.
There is no more time for talk. We demand action now.
The Problem - some fun facts:
- Only 10% of global plastic is recycled, 14% is incinerated, 40% ends up in a landfill, and the remainder 'leaks' into our oceans & ecosystems. By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish (by mass) in our oceans.
- 8 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the world's oceans every year.
- Plastics take 500-1000 years to biodegrade, damaging our marine life and fish stocks.
- A recent study showed that 83% of drinking water samples have been polluted with plastic microfibres.
- Current recycling and waste centres only add to the environmental problem by using a lot of water and energy. For example, the carbon used to make a plastic bottle from recycled plastic is still 90% of the carbon used to make one from scratch.
- We produce far more waste than we can cope with at home. 87% of Europe's plastic waste and 95% of Irish plastic waste ends up in China. China have now banned the import of European plastics, so we literally have no where to put it.The only way to solve our waste problem is to reduce it!
- There are huge "islands" of plastic waste floating in our oceans. See the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is about 1 million km2 of concentrated, floating plastic. Its less concentrated peripheries go on for another 3.5 million km2.
- In recent findings, plastics are found in more than 60% of birds (due to the breakdown of plastic into micro-plastic) & 100% of sea-turtles.
In short:
We want change! Compostable, sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics DO exist, we just need to convince the College and its retailers of their necessity.
The people of Trinity have demanded action by signing our petition, it is now up to you to take the next steps Trinity College Dublin!

Handbook of Research on Crisis Leadership in Organizations
Edited by Andrew J. DuBrin
Chapter 17: Conclusions about crisis leadership in organizations
Andrew J. DuBrin
Our study of research on crisis leadership in organizations has produced a wide range of information useful to both scholars and practitioners. The usual shibboleth applies that many unanswered questions remain and that we have much more to learn. Nevertheless, an overview of the previous sixteen chapters points toward a number of concluding comments. Crisis leadership is an important niche in the study of leadership and management. Enough knowledge has been accumulated about crisis leadership in organizations to serve as guidelines for practice, as well as a research base to build on for the future. Next, we list a series of conclusions about crisis leaders and crisis leadership.

AAFP Praises Fix Gun Checks Act
Friday, June 17, 2016
Leslie Champlin
Senior Public Relations Strategist
American Academy of Family Physicians
(800) 274-2237, Ext. 6252
LEAWOOD, Kan. — The American Academy of Family Physicians today welcomed the introduction of the Fix Gun Checks Act (S 2934), proposed by New York Sen. Charles Schumer.
In a letter to Sen. Schumer, Robert Wergin, MD, board chair of the AAFP, praised the legislation, saying it was an important step in addressing gun violence in America.
The bill would require states to establish a plan for "maximum coordination" with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System in reporting the names of people identified as prohibited from buying a gun. The bill also would prohibit the transfer of a firearm from an unlicensed importer, manufacturer or dealer to another person who is not licensed, with exceptions that include a loan or gift between family members or a temporary transfer at a shooting range or while hunting.
"There is no single answer to the prevention of this kind of violence," Wergin wrote in the letter. Citing AAFP policy on prevention of gun violence, he said, "Part of our response to the violence of Orlando and elsewhere reasonably should include a careful consideration of who has access to the destructive firearms that are necessary to wreak such havoc. The policies of the AAFP support the effort to close the so-called "gun show loophole" that your proposed legislation, the Fix Gun Checks Act (S 2934), is designed to do."
In addition, AAFP has joined other medical organizations and the American Bar Association in calling for an elimination of the ban on federal funding for research on gun-related violence. Such research will provide evidence-based solutions, Wergin wrote.
"We appreciate your leadership in helping reduce the likelihood of these terrible crimes by your legislation to improve the national system of background checks for gun purchases and to apply the requirement for background checks to the purchase of guns in all venues," Wergin concluded. "It is not the solution to the prevalence of gun violence, but it is an important part of that solution."
# # #
Founded in 1947, the American Academy of Family Physicians represents 134,600 physicians and medical students nationwide, and it is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care.
Family physicians conduct approximately one in five of the total medical office visits in the United States per year – more than any other specialty. Family physicians provide comprehensive, evidence-based, and cost-effective care dedicated to improving the health of patients, families and communities. Family medicine's cornerstone is an ongoing and personal patient-physician relationship where the family physician serves as the hub of each patient's integrated care team. More Americans depend on family physicians than on any other medical specialty.
To learn more about the AAFP and family medicine, visit www.aafp.org/media. Follow us on Twitter,(twitter.com) and like us on Facebook. For information about health care, health conditions and wellness, visit the AAFP's award-winning consumer website, www.familydoctor.org(familydoctor.org).

Adaptive Basis Sampling for Smoothing Splines
MetadataShow full item record
Smoothing splines provide flexible nonparametric regression estimators. Penalized likelihood method is adopted when responses are from exponential families and multivariate models are constructed with certain analysis of variance decomposition. However, the high computational cost of smoothing splines for large data sets has hindered their wide application. We develop a new method, named adaptive basis sampling, for efficient computation of smoothing splines in super-large samples. Generally, a smoothing spline for a regression problem with sample size n can be expressed as a linear combination of n basis functions and its computational complexity is O(n³). We achieve a more scalable computation in the multivariate case by evaluating the smoothing spline using a smaller set of basis functions, obtained by an adaptive sampling scheme that uses values of the response variable. Our asymptotic analysis shows that smoothing splines computed via adaptive basis sampling converge to the true function at the same rate as full basis smoothing splines. We show that the proposed method outperforms a sampling method that does not use the values of response variable by simulation studies, and apply it to several real data examples.

This, less exciting, Thriller starring Harrison Ford has been changed in two scenes at the end for a DVD release. Reasons are still missing. While the rental version offer the alternative version, the (German) television always shows the theatrical version.
This report compares the alternative version by WarnerHomeVideo and the theatrical version. The time difference amounts 6 seconds (credits not included). The times derive from the alternative version.
The TV runs a bit longer. The family Stanfield's dog is still sitting on Janet's lap. Janet looks around when suddenly the dog becomes nervous and jumps off her lap. He barks. Now the DVD version continues when Janet gets up.
7 Ssec.
Change in the sound: While the dog moves towards the family he barks in the DVD version while the TV lacks barking.
no time difference
The ending differs in both versions. The TV shows Janet who looks towards her family while she is smiling. A close-up shows how the dog moves longer to the family. They stand still. While both children, Andy and Sarah, stroke the dog, the father looks at Janet. Now the frame fades and the movie ends. The DVD version differs. After Janet smiled she gets up and leaves. A overhead camera perspective is following the family who are walking towards Janet. The dog is right behind them. At the end of this camera turn one can see two police cars coming near. Now the DVD version also fades to a black-screen. The messurement of the runtime starts with the appearance of the first word in the credits. Due to the black-screen the DVD version has a slightly longer runtime.
-1 sec.
The credits run a bit faster and the Warner logo at the end is missing.

A busy construction season in Jackson continues this week, with crews starting work on four city streets. One of the road construction projects impacts a major thoroughfare in Downtown Jackson, while the three other projects are happening on neighborhood streets.
W. Michigan Avenue from N. Blackstone Street and First Street in Downtown Jackson is receiving a big overhaul. Construction on this one block section will continue streetscape improvements in the downtown area. Crews will remove and replace the full depth of pavement, along with a decades-old brick sanitary sewer. Sidewalks, parking orientation, landscaping, and lighting will also be replaced to match the rest of Michigan Avenue in the downtown area. Construction is set to wrap up in late August. This section of W. Michigan will be closed to through traffic during construction. Access to businesses will be maintained.
The other construction projects are happening in a neighborhood on Jackson's west side. Efforts to resurface Thompson, Durand, and Higby streets continues. Starting this week, crews will begin work to resurface pavement, repair curbs and sidewalks, and replace sidewalk ramps on Thompson, Durand and Higby streets between W. Michigan Avenue and Wildwood Avenue.
These streets will be closed to through traffic when under construction. However, access to homes and businesses will be maintained. This phase of the project is set to wrap up in mid-August. Other sections of these streets were successfully resurfaced earlier this spring.
Residents and business patrons are asked to not park on streets when construction is underway. The City of Jackson Engineering Division is sending out regular updates to residents and businesses to keep them informed on construction progress.

Extremely handful of restaurants, shops, or other businesses have a sign like this but if you ask, you might extremely properly get the discount. Of all the extraordinarily talented and tremendously imitated directors operating in the movie enterprise these days, nobody's movies are far more extremely anticipated than Quentin Tarantinos. Amongst the profitable movies created my The Weinstein Organization is Derailed, Scream 4 and 1408. If they do that, then they'd need to have two Christmas motion pictures wrapped up and fully prepared to go by late June/early July… which indicates they would have to commence production no later than May, but possibly even earlier than that.
In 2006, iconic actor and director Clint Eastwood released two motion pictures dealing with the Planet War two Battle of Iwo Jima. Although I say there is practically nothing glorious about war, I can not assist but uncover well-created films from those periods fascinating and, dare I say, entertaining. Can not say that I'm a western fan as such, but the Eastwood Dollar motion pictures are a distinct kettle of fish, they are superb entertainment. Two movies that stand out for me the previous 10 years is Return of the King and Brokeback Mountain.
That's why often the actors in the motion pictures cannot reveal that they are filming Hallmark motion pictures – because they have to wait until Hallmark makes an announcement. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is in my 10 best comedy films simply because of this wonderful comic actor, plus loads of animals, a mystery adventure and a lot of gags this is a excellent family members comedy film. Hi I grew up watching western ,I consider they are wonderful.I identified this lens following creating my lens on westerns television shows.Wonderful motion pictures. The rest of the films you listed are so quite old and I'm still a baby at that time.
We have restricted free of charge time, and there are so a lot of motion pictures it's tough to know which ones to watch. My most significant gripe is just before the movie begins and for this reason I seldom attend movies any longer. I will admit to getting actually sad that the Hobbit movies weren't anyplace near as great. Lionsgate have helped produce some great films series which contain Kick-Ass, The Expendables and The Hunger Games. Looking at this list I really rapidly lost self-assurance in your taste, there are a lot of films that interest me but I cannot undesrtand how movies like Indiana Jones 4 and King Kong are on here whilst Moulin Rouge, LotR and Juno are missing.
We have been already preparing ourselves for an hour and a half drive when AMC Van Ness saved us! They even have a weekly survey asking which motion pictures we would most like to see and they pass this info on to the theater manager. This ranking of western films is based on the rankings of members at Rankography best ten motion pictures. Titanic, one particular of the most famous motion pictures of all time, chronicles the romance among a wealthy British lady (played by Kate Winslet) and a operating-class American (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) on the doomed ship Titanic at the beginning of the 20th century.

My approach to becoming a professional writer is two-fold:
- blogging professionally (duh)
- learning to craft literary fiction
I love telling stories, and getting paid to do it would be a nice bonus! Almost three years ago, I got a great start in writing fiction thanks to a great teacher and mentor. I wrote two award-winning short stories (here's one). Since then, however, I've let it languish, and I haven't produced a single new story.
But that is going to change — and soon. Continue reading "Becoming PRO-fessional: getting my fiction mojo"

World War I has been called "the Great War" and "the War to End All Wars." Upon entering the conflict in 1917, the U.S. government began to describe it as a war to "Make the World Safe for Democracy." To sell the war to an isolationist American public, the Committee on Public Information, under the direction of George Creel, undertook a massive propaganda campaign defaming German "Huns" and extolling American heroism. Published in Chicago in 1918 by Charles Gustrine, this poster shows African American soldiers routing their German foes, beneath a head-and-shoulders portrait of Abraham Lincoln with the quote "Liberty and Freedom Shall Not Perish. " Despite this noble sentiment, many black soldiers faced discrimination, segregation, and the threat of violence after completing their service and returning to their homes.

5. Share a funny story about working here.
One day, I saw Mike working at his desk. I saw some cookies on his office table, which is much closer to the door than his desk. When he looks at his computer, he has to rotate 90 degrees, so he's not facing the door. Anyway, back to the cookies. I was wearing a bright green shirt, so very hard to miss (plus I'm 6-3.5 – 210 lbs, so I'm not tiny). I tip-toed my way to the table, quietly slid the cookies into my hands. And the cookies were still in that annoyingly loud plastic box. I secured said cookies, tip-toed my way backwards out of his door and landed safely in the hallway. Then I couldn't keep it together anymore. I started bellowing in the hallway, which confused Mike. He was hesitant to think he could've been that oblivious, but the cookies were proof!
6. What do you hope to accomplish here?
It's all about God's glory. I want to show people the light of Christ, but that, in no way, stops when we leave work.
7. If you could witness one event in history, what would it and why?
I would witness the entire crucifixion process. If I saw what ACTUALLY happened to Christ, I feel confidently that I would take my faith much more seriously.
8. If you had one free hour each day, how would you use it?
I don't have one specific way that I would use it each day, but if I had to do ONE thing every day for that hour, I would either read my Bible or listen/watch sermons. SOMETHING that would help me draw closer to Christ.
9. If you had to choose an existing movie title to describe your life, what would it be?
God's Not Dead – He proves it every single day.
10. What's the strangest talent you have?
I'll have to work on this one. I'm not sure that I have many strange talents. I'll get back to ya.

You can find examples of federal detainees held inexplicably for years without criminal charges or bond hearings much closer to home than Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
In Southern Florida, five Sri Lankan men were held without bond for more than three years as they sought asylum, saying they had been promised leniency in return for aiding a federal investigation of the smuggling ring that brought them into the country illegally. As The Times reported recently, the average stay for an immigrant in federal custody is a month.
In Springfield, Mass., a federal district judge in January ordered a bond hearing for a Jamaican immigrant and military veteran who had been held in Massachusetts jails, fighting deportation, for more than 15 months without ever receiving a bond hearing. The judge, Michael Ponsor, this month granted class-action status to all immigration detainees in Massachusetts who have been held without bond hearings for six months or more.
Last April, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in California, upheld a lower court's order requiring the government to grant bond hearings to immigrants who have been held six months without such a hearing. The American Civil Liberties Union, which had brought that class-action lawsuit, said the decision would potentially allow thousands of people to get a day in court across the Ninth Circuit, where an estimated one-fourth of all immigration detainees are held each year.
These rulings reflect the growing understanding — in the federal courts, if not at Immigration and Customs Enforcement — that the constitutional guarantee of due process demands that a detainee have a hearing within a "reasonable" time and that more than six months is not reasonable by any definition.
The Obama administration, in expanding the surge of immigration enforcement begun under President George W. Bush, has detained and deported nearly two million people. The overwhelming majority are dealt with swiftly and summarily, without ever receiving a hearing before an immigration judge. Others who challenge their deportation, like the Sri Lankans, wait for years to get a resolution of their cases. Still others, lacking aggressive lawyers, languish forgotten in federal lockups across the country.
Automatically granting bond hearings to immigration detainees, many of whom pose no threat, is the least the government can do. This does not mean their release is inevitable or even likely. And it doesn't mean that dangerous criminals would be let loose on the streets.
President Obama, who has repeatedly promised to do more to fix the broken immigration laws, on his own if necessary, can ensure that the six-month rule is adopted in immigration courts nationwide. Beyond granting bond hearings, the government should use more humane and cost-effective alternatives to detention, like ankle bracelets and home monitoring. Locking people up indefinitely is not a path to a more rational immigration system.

Gary and Matt have found the parked Saunabuss, where they hop on board and waste no time getting naked. Thanks to the Amazing Editor who blurs what can't be more than a half-inch of Matt's crack. With towels around their waists, they enter the tiny sauna chamber at the back of the bus -- which is already occupied by three people -- and Gary launches a nonstop stream of chatter about his Finnish heritage. "You go into northern Minnesota, it's a sow-na," Matt interviews, using the less well-known but technically more accurate pronunciation. Wait, I thought they were from Montana? But again, I guess I'm once again underestimating the universality of living on a Montana farm, where they must have lived in northern Minnesota all the time.
Four racers are still wandering the catacombs of Mustpeade, but it's Flight Time who finds his room first. The door opens to reveal a vast ballroom that doesn't look like it would fit in what this building looks like from the outside. I guess the Brotherhood still has some secrets after all, among them TARDIS technology. Flight Time walks the half-mile to the guy standing next to the grand piano on the far side of the room, and gets his scroll as the dude sheaths his sword, as though if someone had come in with the wrong number on their candelabra he would have run them through. Apparently the racers are also supplied a bit of red wax or something, so Flight Time immediately starts scribbling on the scroll like he's trying to do an etching. Nooo! That's going to make it very hard to read. Cheyne, however, upon finding his gloomier, smaller room, starts right off by holding his scroll over the candle. Except he keeps tuning it over and over so fast, it's never going to get cooked properly.
In the Saunabuss, Gary is still prattling away, while Matt tries to play it cool about being seated next to a hot blonde in a towel. Gary insists on singing a song about saunas that he half-remembers in some Scandinavian language. The people in there are thinking, "Now, this is supposed to be a challenge-slash-penalty for whom, again?"
Ericka finds a cavernous ballroom like Flight Time's, although she goes the candle route right away. Flight Time, meanwhile, has finished covering the back of his scroll in red, and holds it up to the candle flame to try and read the etching he's still convinced should be there. "I don't see anything," he says, setting the scroll back down on the piano, where the camera zooms in on it to clearly reveal the words "PIKK HERMAN TOWER GARDEN." Not that Flight Time sees it. That's what makes these cameramen so Amazing.

Fethullah Gulen, the U.S.-based cleric and former ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, denied being behind the attempted coup in Turkey and condemned it "in the strongest terms".
The preacher moved to the United States in 1999, before he was charged with treason in his native country.
Fethullah Gulen, the arch-enemy of Erdogan
Fethullah Gulen, the U.S.-based cleric accused by Ankara of orchestrating the coup attempt in Turkey, has a wide following in his native country, where he enjoys support among the police and judiciary.
The reclusive Islamic preacher, who lives in a tiny town in the Pocono Mountains of the US state of Pennsylvania, was immediately accused by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of being behind the coup attempt.

Nandambakkam is a Neighbourhood of Chennai and a town in the Alandur taluk of Chennai district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is renowned for the Chennai Trade Centre and the Surgical Instruments Factory. In 2011 Nandambakkam has included in Chennai city by the government of Tamil Nadu.
Nandambakkam is situated at a distance of 13 kilometres south-west of Chennai on the Mount-Poonamallee Road. It is bound by Alandur and St Thomas Mount to the east and Manapakkam to the west. It is bound by Ramapuram to the north and north-west and Pallavaram to the south. The township extends from the Madras War Cemetery on the east to the banks of the Adyar River on the west.
As of 2001[update] India census,[1] Nandambakkam had a population of 9093. Males constitute 51% of the population and females 49%. Nandambakkam has an average literacy rate of 81%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 85%, and female literacy is 77%. In Nandambakkam, 10% of the population is under 6 years of age.
During Ramayana period, an ancient sage called Bringi Rishi was performing penance in this part of the country. He was doing penance from the hill nearby. The hill got its name as Bringi Malai (Bringi Hill) as sage Bringi was staying there for years. The name later corrupted to become Parangi Malai which is presently called as St. Thomas Mount.
Knowing that Sri Rama is passing through his place here, Bringi Rishi went and invited Sri Rama to stay with him for few days before proceeding. Sri Rama agreed to be the guest of Bringi Rishi and stayed here. Bringi Rishi created a small Nandhavanam (means garden) for the comfort of Sri Rama and the place came to be known as Nandhavanam itself, which later changed as Nandhambakkam.[2] The neighboring place to Nandhambakkam is called Ramapuram, which is said to have got its name after Sri Rama's stay here.
The village of Nandambakkam has been in existence as a part of the then Chingleput district at least since India's independence in 1947. In 1948, a proposal was floated to settle tappers in Nandambakkam and imparting training in hand weaving to them.[3] The shrine of St Thomas Mount located nearby contains relics that are over two millennia old.
The growth of Nandambakkam dates from the post-independence era. In 1952, the Madras War Cemetery was constructed on the eastern fringes of Nandambakkam.[4] During the 1950s and early 1960s, a number of social welfare schemes were launched here. During the Chief Ministership of K. Kamaraj, proposals were made for establishing a surgical instruments factory at Nandambakkam with Russian collaboration.[5][6] This project undertaken by the Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Limited culminated in the inauguration of the factory constructed at the cost of Rs. 52.5 million and expected to manufacture 2.5 million pieces of surgical instruments[7] on 1 September 1965.[8] The surgical instrumentsplant, was later amed IDPL, and now the production of surgical instruments was totally stopped in 1994, and a major portion the factory has been closed '
India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO)'s first fair infrastructure outside Delhi, the Chennai Trade Centre was inaugurated at Nandambakkam in January 2001.[9] Spread over an area of 25 acres (100,000 m2), the Chennai Trade Centre, a joint venture of ITPO and Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO), was designed to conduct trade fairs in the city.[9]
The area is one of the 163 notified areas (megalithic sites) in the state of Tamil Nadu.[10]

Chickadee Bird - Zindorf Technique
Yet another try on the Zindorf technique. I am really having some fun with these. The directions are on her blog, Michelle Zindorf. She has a fantastic Tutorial Section and rather than reinvent the wheel, I followed her directions except I did not have Soft Sky so I used Bliss Blue. I have made some other things this week and will post all along but I really have been trying to perfect her technique. It is gorgeous! I have also been trying to make matching envelopes and adding something extra inside the card. It is a good habit to start! Thanks for stopping by and looking. Happy Scrappin' & Stampin' Nancy

Thank you so much for your help thus far, your code works perfectly, I changed one line so it changes when a specific value is added in a cell now I have another idea, it would be amazing if you could help.
I want to track a manufacturing process. I have a drop down list where progress is selected as the product is manufactured. The code that I am thinking about goes as follows:
When the product is completed Column L gets changed to "Completed" and Column M gets a time stamp, when the product is delivered Column L changes again to "Delivered" and then Column N gets a timestamp.
Is this possible? Please let me know if I can send a screenshot if my message is unclear.
Thank you so much, hope you can help.

Vision Gran Turismo models. What's coming next?
Gran Turismo 6 is certainly a video game like no other before it. To celebrate its 15th anniversary – creators have asked most of major automobile manufacturers and their design teams to free their fantasies and to design an ultimate road-race car! Most of them have already been released not only in digital format, but also in 1:1 form! We've already seen such amazing design studies like Aston Martin P-100 Vision Gran Turismo, BMW Vision Gran Turismo, Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo, recently unveiled Infiniti Concept Vision Gran Turismo and Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo as well as Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept, Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV Evolution Vision Gran Turismo , Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, Subaru Viziv GT Vision Gran Turismo, Toyota FT-1 Vision GT Concept and Volkswagen GTI Roadster Concept. Quite a bunch of them, isn't it? One may ask if that is all that Gran Turismo team and global automotive companies have prepared for gamers and enthusiats. The answer is definitely no. There are still another bunch of Gran Turismo visions yet to be unveiled in the digital world and, perpahs, in the real life, as well.
Among mysteries yet under cover are models of such companies like Alpine, Audi, Bertone, Daihatsu, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, ItalDesign-Giugiaro, Lamborghini, Lexus, Mini, SRT, Tesla, Zagato and even Nike and Jordan! That is another good number of exciting premieres awaiting all of us during the coming months. Hopefully, some of these extraordinary machines will find their ways into major motorhows where spectaors will be able to witness and adore unrestrained imagination of world's best designers!
Keep yourself updated with the latest news!

The current continuing resolution (CR) runs out on December 8 for the fiscal year (FY) 2018 budget. On Capitol Hill there is a continued push for parity in raising the non-defense discretionary (NDD) cap by the same amount as the defense cap for FY 2018. Once the new caps are set, the funding total will be divided among all the appropriations bills, followed by negotiations on funding levels for the individual programs, all of which will be pulled together in an omnibus appropriations bill. This process will take several weeks, which means Congress will likely pass another CR to surpass the December 8 deadline.
It is rumored that this Thursday the Administration may send up its third – and possibly final – request for emergency funding to address the recent natural disasters. Congress may package this supplemental funding bill with a short-term continuing resolution to fund the government beyond December 8. Alternatively, it could be packaged with the final year-long omnibus funding bill, whenever that is passed.
It is unclear whether the FY 2018 budget will be passed before the New Year. If a CR is passed through the end of January, the omnibus appropriations bill may be packaged with an increase in the debt ceiling.
Take action today! CEC is urging Congress to permanently eliminate the sequester-level discretionary caps and maintain the long-standing principle of parity by matching any increases in the defense caps with equal increases in the NDD caps. Congress must eliminate the sequestration caps in order to make critical investments in both defense and NDD programs, including education, which are essential to our nation's security and prosperity. Children and youth and programs are counting on strong federal education investments to ensure equitable access to high quality education and early intervention from early childhood to higher education and career and technical and adult education, and to fill gaps where local and state funding is insufficient or where new needs arise.
Tell Congress to:
- Repeal the Budget Control Act sequester-level caps and
- Significantly increase the federal education investment to maximize opportunities for children and youth and their families, schools and programs, and our nation.
Visit CEC's Legislative Action Center to send a letter today! Urge your members of Congress to use the opportunity before the CR expires on December 8 to eliminate the sequester-level caps. This will allow Congress to make necessary investments in NDD programs, including education and related programs.

Day 278
This morning, I got up early to catch a sunrise, and it was 100% worth it. While on the beach, there were plenty of Sand Crabs scurrying in and out of holes in the sand. I actually chased one up the beach, then it stopped, raised it's claws, and turned to face me. As I circled around the crab it slowly turned as well keeping it's eyes on me. In the end, I backed off since I didn't want to go head-to-head with him because I was only wearing flip-flops.
Enjoy the Sun!

Hi Brian, the sun comes up every day. Most of the time our lives are so busy, so we think, that we fail to acknowledge or witness this phenomenon. Very nice reminder--thanks!

Father's Day 2018
Its "Father's Day" again.
My youngest son was killed in a tragic road accident on the 26th June 2003 a little over 15 years ago now. At the time he was 22 years old and like most kids of that age completely bullet proof. His name IS Dane. (Not Was But IS) As a child he was at times a perfect angel while at other times he reminded us that there are also angels in hell as well. Time went by and he grew up and discovered the ugly world of drugs. At this point he became something that we, his parents couldn't recognise. He was nothing like the boy we had razed, loved and cared for during his younger years. Nevertheless, when he was off the drugs he was the great kid that we knew again. Always loving and caring for others and willing to go the extra bit to help. Then around 5:00 Am on Thursday 26th June we got a knock on our door. The police had arrived to tell us of the events pertaining to Dane's death. It was not a surprise that drugs and a stolen car were involved. Since that time, we have had contact with a lot of families who have been in similar positions. Just about all of us agree that time does not heal it just dulls the pain to the extent that we all eventually come to terms with what has happened. We also have 2 older son's and grandchildren. For which I am eternally grateful and blessed. Nevertheless, some fathers have lost their only child. This is hard, but we must always remember that we are still that child's father and the love we have will never go away or fade as the years progress.
From one bereaved father to another. Have the best Father's Day that you can.
