Alcohol and Illicit Drug Policies
It is the policy of Wheeling Jesuit University to comply with the requirements of the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug Free School and Communities Act Amendments of 1989. As a recipient of federal contracts and grants, the University certifies to all funding agencies that it promotes and provides a workplace free from illicit drugs and alcohol use by complying with the statutory requirements stipulated by both federal and state laws. Wheeling Jesuit University's policy on the illicit use of drugs and alcohol is distributed annually to each student and employee of the University and is kept on file in the Human Resources Department.
Students who violate the University's Illicit Drugs and Alcohol Policy will have the record of the offense forwarded to Student Conduct Process for action. Employee cases of violation will be forwarded by their supervisors to the Human Resources Department.
Wheeling Jesuit University's sanctions for the above violations and other actions involving illicit drugs and alcohol vary with each situation. Employees who violate these and other illicit drug and alcohol laws face disciplinary action up to and including the assessment and satisfactory completion of a rehabilitation program, referral for prosecution, and/or termination of employment.
Students who violate these and other illicit drug and alcohol laws/policies face disciplinary action up to and including assessment and/or the satisfactory completion of a rehabilitation program, referral for prosecution, and expulsion. Sanctions for students will be governed by the student handbook as dictated in each case. In the case of drug related convictions for crimes committed in the workplace by employees, the Human Resources Department will be responsible for reporting the conviction to the appropriate federal funding agency.
Both the Division of Student Development and the Human Resources Department will be responsible for ensuring that all sanctions against students and employees are carried out within thirty days of receipt of notice. Both offices are ultimately responsible that adherence to the Illicit Drugs and Alcohol Policy is followed. A biennial review of the policy to determine its effectiveness, implement needed changes and ensure that disciplinary sanctions are consistently enforced will be conducted by a committee convened by the Coordinator for Counseling Services and the Director of Human Resources. A report of the committee's findings, including suggestions and recommendations, will be forwarded to both offices.

The value of fish landings in Shetland last year was up by 30 per cent compared to 2015
Seventy two thousand tonnes of fish worth around £79 million was landed in Shetland, representing a one per cent decrease in quantity on 2015. Nearly 70 per cent of all landings were of pelagic species, which enjoyed a rise in price, while demersal accounted for around one quarter. Mackerel was the most landed fish, with over 40,000 tonnes coming into Shetland, while herring amounted to 9,471 tonnes. But 2016 saw the lowest amount of pelagic species landed in Shetland in the last five years, with around 8,000 tonnes more brought into the isles in 2014. click here to read the story 17:42

While most people scoff at my dear book club as a "drinking club", and yes, a lot of wine is consumed while we "discuss the books", we do actually read the books and have a great amount of fun doing so! As we approach our 7-year birthday, I thought it was about time I got myself organised and created a new book journal, since I filled up my last one about six months ago!
I bought the Graphic45 Rare Oddity range with no particular project in mind, especially since it's Halloween themed and I'm not a big celebrator of the occasion. The colours were what grabbed me and when I noticed the paper that was covered in books, I knew I'd found the perfect paper for my new journal.
Book Club Journal
Materials: Graphic45 Rare Oddities paper and stickers, Bazzill cardstock, Crop-A-Dile eyelets, miscellaneous ribbons and charms
This book looks a lot more complicated than it actually was to put together.
The covers are just chipboard that have been covered in paper, then the pages are just sheets of Bazzill that then have pockets and what-not added on top.
Each of the pages has fold outs with placeholders for me to add photos of the books and some journalling about each one.
It's hard to tell from the photos, but there's a lot of elements that have been popped up on foam tape to give the book some dimension.
The image on the front was made by cutting up and re-constructing the "feature" paper from the Graphic45 pad (see it here).
I do just have to pause a sec here just to say how in love I am with the Crop-A-Dile – I was a bit of a naysayer, thinking "how good can it be, it's just a fancy hole punch and eyelet setter!"… and yes, it is, but it's so good at being a hole punch and eyelet setter!
I punched through my chipboard book with no muscle required (which is a good thing, because muscle isn't my strong point!) and I used to avoid eyelets because of the hassle – no more! I'm putting eyelets in everything!!

According to gaming site GameRevolution, Apple has patented a dual-shock gaming controller. Kotaku speculated in April that Apple was secretly developing a video game console that was similar, in concept, to Microsoft's Kinect console add-on. This would mean that their console would support movement, and, in typical Apple fashion, would work in harmony with Apple's touch-screen television.
The idea of launching a new console amid rumors of Sony and Microsoft's plans is an exciting prospect, but not one to be taken lightly. The Ouya is also looking to stake a claim on the market, as well. Nintendo is continuing its console development cycle by introducing the Wii U to gamers, projected for the fourth quarter of 2012. By entering into the crowded and fiercely competitive gaming console market, Apple could either lose or win big, depending on what developers and exclusives they land. Apple diehards would surely line up down the blocks of every store in the country to get a console, though, as Apple fans are fiercely loyal.
The GameRevolution article is quick to point out that the controller that's currently patented by Apple could very well be an add-on to their existing Apple television set. This would allow plays to make use of their iOS apps on their television screen. This concept isn't dissimilar to the Ouya's plan of utilizing the Droid system to enable gamers to play Droid-powered games on their televisions sets.
The controller is apparently wireless, as well. It also shares more than a passing resemblance to the current dual-shock gaming controller utilized by Sony. The patent, published online, states that the controller is "a method for controlling a variety of electronic devices." Sounds almost like a universal remote, capable of controlling all things Apple.

Special Effects
Still in Search of Wonder
Michele Pierson
- Description
- Author
- Info
- Reviews
Designed to trick the eye and stimulate the imagination, special effects have changed the way we look at films and the worlds created in them. Computer-generated imagery (CGI), as seen in Hollywood blockbusters like Star Wars, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Men in Black, and The Matrix, is just the latest advance in the evolution of special effects. Even as special effects have been marveled at by millions, this is the first investigation of their broader cultural reception. Moving from an exploration of nineteenth-century popular science and magic to the Hollywood science fiction cinema of our time, Special Effects examines the history, advancements, and connoisseurship of special effects, asking what makes certain types of cinematic effects special, why this matters, and for whom. Michele Pierson shows how popular science magazines, genre filmzines, and computer lifestyle magazines have articulated an aesthetic criticism of this emerging art form and have helped shape how these hugely popular on-screen technological wonders have been viewed by moviegoers.

Made by Hawkes & Son, the leather belt strap of this brass sheet music holder fits to the wrist to allow the bandsman to use both hands for his instrument. The sprung brass clip is of a classical lyre shape and fixed to the leather belt by six rivets. The maker's name is stamped to the brass. It is presumed that they were a London company and although there were two Hawkes & Sons in London around the 1900 period it is probable that it was Hawkes & Son of Denman Street, Golden Square, who are listed in the 1899 London Directory under Musical Instrument Makers. They are also believed to have published the 'Complete Catalogue of Orchestral Music' in 1930. There are three lines of writing to the inside of the strap but they are illegible. Circa 1900.

After appearing before a Magistrates' Court yesterday on four charges, a 56-year-old man was remanded to HMP Dodds.
Joseph Henry Sinclair Cadogan denied three charges before Acting Chief Magistrate Christopher Birch.
Those were that he drove dangerously along Oldbury Road, St Philip and failed to draw his vehicle to the left side of the road on hearing a siren, both on February 18 this year.
He is further accused of stealing a $179 cellular phone belonging to Brenda Peltaire while at the Casa Grande hotel on March 28.
Cadogan, an electrical contractor from Bedford Avenue, Bay Street, St Michael, is also charged with theft of a vehicle. That matter is expected to come up in the District 'A' Magistrates Court on April 5.
He returns to the District 'C' Court the following day.

Your Friend | 14/01/16
Taryn Miller, aka Your Friend, will release her debut album, Gumption, on January 29th via Domino. The second single from Gumption, "Come Back From It," debuts today on Noisey with an accompanying video directed by Christophe Acker / Thatfilm and shot at the end of last year in Paris.
Says Miller, "We shot the footage on my last day in Paris, when I was there last November for Red Bull Music Academy, which was postponed following the awful events in November. It was freezing, and wild. He (the motorcycle driver) was weaving between highway traffic and at times, splitting the space between semis. It all came together at the very end of my trip, and was a really lovely way to leave after seeing what so many endured. There was this juxtaposition of the time that I arrived, and the night before I left. The streets were empty on my first day there, and it was exhilarating to be riding back into the city like that, and to have witnessed such resilience during such a dark time."
"Come Back From It," was composed of salvaged pieces of an almost entirely scrapped song during Gumption's demoing process. The whirling, dark, drum loop (arguably the backbone) and the crackling drone were the only original pieces of audio from the demo. Producer Nicolas Vernhes encouraged that there was something about the lurching nature of those elements that was worth pursuing. Miller already had a sense of verses, but there wasn't a "relief," as Vernhes said, when referring to a chorus. Vernhes sat her in the control room of Rare Book Room in Brooklyn and played Lou Reed's "Pale Blue Eyes," with the both of them in silence, then said, "You have thirty minutes, go write a chorus." After the structure was formed, Miller took on the task of creating several, separate loops for each chord in the entire song, and Vernhes collaging them and achieving an overall cinematic type of texture.
"Come Back From It" follows the album opener and first single, "Heathering," a brooding track Miller had been working on long before entering the studio. The opening acoustic guitar sample was something that Vernhes had caught before she knew they were tracking. It was left as somewhat of a playful placeholder initially, but then ultimately became an endearing and important part of the opening.
Gumption deals with the dualities and nuances of human interaction, and questions how much we, as individuals, are responsible for in the ways we are perceived. It's a record of courage, as its title suggests - of having the willingness to make necessary shifts, and to have a sense of self-awareness that ultimately leads to growth.
Gumption will be available on CD and standard LP via the Domino Mart. Pre-order the album from the Domino Mart HERE or iTunes HERE and receive an instant download of "Heathering." The standard LP comes in a single jacket with a printed inner sleeve and is accompanied by a MP3 download card.
Your Friend will tour in support of Gumption this spring with Domino label mates Porches and Alex G making a stop at SXSW, her first trip back since 2014. A full list of dates is below. Stay tuned for all news and updates via the new Your Friend website HERE.

I found this yesterday on a site called Ronald Reagan.com and in the forum, was this little gem. I had wondered something like this myself, but I feel it is a wonderful idea, letting our representatives know, just what they are doing isn't what the people want.
In the part below, there are three addresses for mailing. One is Nancy Pelosi's, the other is Harry Reid's and the last one is for Barack Obama.
Now most of you, at some time or another, drink tea, and taking a used tea bag, that is dry, place it in an envelope, and send one to Obama, one to Pelosi and one to Harry Reid. Send as many as you can.
I feel as this person who wrote this does, that it would be the equivilant to the Boston Tea Party revolt, or the Chicago Tea Party that Rick Santelli was ranting about the other day on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade.
Come on people, let's let this government know that we the people are still in charge! This is a great idea here.
Here is the post that I found:
For some time since January 20th, discussions have been held among members of the Conservative Policy Roundtable (a private citizen's think tank) dealing with an issue dear to the hearts of many ordinary, everyday Conservative American Citizens; what can we do about the direction in which this Nation is being taken?
When an announcer on, of all channels, CNBC launched into a tirade on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade about the need for another "Boston Tea Party", we had our answer. We will strive to bring forth from people all across this Great Nation an out-pouring of dried-out used tea bags which will be mailed, one per envelope, to at least each of the following officials;
Nancy Pelosi
Office of the Speaker
H-232, US Capitol
Washington, DC 20515

Our intent is that concerned citizens all across this Great Nation will contact their local and National conservative public personalities on radio and television to help spread this idea and its intent far and wide. Internet blogs should also be used to further disseminate this idea with the goal being to put Washington on notice that "we, the people" are already fed up with our being forced down the primrose path toward National Socialism. A date for this subtle but oh, so potentially meaningful protest to occur has been set; on or about April 15th, 2009.
Any and all assistance with the dissemination of this information will be deeply appreciated as will your participation in "The Tea Bag Revolt".
The Original Conservative Policy Roundtable.
Located on Paltalk> Social Issues and Politics> Government and Politics
Now my friends, isn't this a great idea? I think it is. Let's send them MILLIONS of used tea bags to get our message out to them that we are sick and tired of this steady march towards Socialism that they are leading us on. We want our country back! And we want it back NOW!
A Comment from Jude, mentioned that since the people in Washington do not know what is in the tea bags, they are just throwing them away. Better to do this: They are now asking everyone to just take the string and label off of the tea bag as well as the wrapper and send them instead so they will actually be delivered.
God Bless America
God Bless our Troops always
God Bless my readers, my listeners on BTR and my viewers on You Tube……

There are so many things that we love about PCA!

We're helping the Government of India improve the water quality in the Yamuna River Basin.
The Yamuna River is the largest tributary of the Ganga River and one of the most important and sacred rivers in India. Millions of people in the country depend on the 1,376 km long river for domestic, industrial and agricultural uses. Over the years, however, the river has experienced severe degradation of its water quality.
The discharge of domestic sewage is the main cause of river's pollution. There is a large gap between the amount of wastewater generated and the amount of wastewater treated in the cities and urban centres throughout the basin. Increasing urbanisation is further widening this gap. Treating sewage before it is discharged is not enough to restore the ecological integrity of the river.
To help water officials combat this problem, we conducted an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and water quality modelling study. As part of this study, we developed a Decision Support System (DSS) that uses baseline information on:
MIKE BASIN was used to describe the catchment's hydrology, examine abstractive uses (such as irrigation and domestic water use) and their return flows, and estimate pollution load. MIKE 11 and MIKE ECO Lab were used to conduct river hydrodynamic and water quality modelling.
Our DSS takes into account different wastewater loading and water availability situations – as well as management options and future changes – to predict water quality scenarios. We utilised the DSS to generate water quality scenarios based on different actions aimed at:
These scenarios will enable government planners to make sound decisions in order to help restore the quality of the Yamuna River and manage its pollution levels.

Boat Title Loans Scottsdale | Tempe | Phoenix
Cash for ALL Boats
If You Need Fast Cash, Get It With A Boat Title Loan!
We often forget about the valuables we have around the house. They can be the source of income when we're in times of financial need. When we're truly at the end of our rope, the last place we want to run to is the bank. This is because they would possibly take from us the most important item we have: our home. So what is there to do when we're at this point? Your boat! During most of the year here in beautiful Arizona, our boats just sit in our driveway or in our backyard. In doing so, they're collecting dust. So when we're truly in times of financial despair, North Scottsdale Loan and Gold has stepped in to solve these problems using an item most of us have: a boat.
A boat title loan is a very simple pawn process. It is a process that can be said and done in as little as fifteen minutes. You can get thousands of dollars in fast cash to solve your immediate cash needs. All of this comes simply from your boat. A lot of us don't want to do away with a boat; it's never preferred. But when you very much need that cash, putting your boat up to get it temporarily isn't a bad idea. Don't worry about location, as we serve the Valley Cities. Whether you're in Scottsdale, Tempe, Paradise Valley, or Phoenix, North Scottsdale Loan and Gold is here to help you.
North Scottsdale Loan and Gold understands these situations, and has stepped in to help those in truly desperate need by offering bad credit title loans. With a bad credit title loan, your credit is not an issue whatsoever. We can give you the fast cash you need, without worrying about credit, in a matter of minutes, and still leave you with your car. If you have bad credit in Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, or Paradise Valley, we can give you the fast cash you need with a bad credit title loan.
How Does A Boat Title Loan Work?
A boat title loan is a very simple process that poses little risk to you, especially for meeting your fast cash needs. The way it works is you use your boat as collateral against the loan, so that you can be sure you can get the cash you need, and we can be sure that our loan amount is covered in the same regard. The process truly takes mere minutes, as long as you bring the boat into us. If that's too much to handle, you can at least send us pictures.
When you bring your boat into our store, one of our staff members will escort you outside to take a look at the boat and form an appraisal. This is based on its year, the model, and the overall condition of the boat. One of the other pieces of information we like to ask for is a spare key, and also some sort of proof of income. If you can provide these two pieces of information, we have a great chance of giving you an even better cash offer for your boat title loan. When all this is said and done, and you accept, we take a few signatures from you, and send you on your way with hundreds of dollars of fast cash. All of our boat title loans are done through Phoenix Title Loans, LLC, and they can be found here.
North Scottsdale Loan and Gold has been proudly serving the areas of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Paradise Valley. For over a decade, we are ensuring that our customers are getting the most fast cash for their dollar. That is why we are here to help customers in their times of need.
Is Pawning My Boat the Same as a Boat Title Loan?
The short answer is yes! A pawn loan on a boat is no different from a boat title loan, but the term that the majority of us will be familiar with is boat title loans. This is because we know what an auto title loan is, but you can rest assured that there is no real difference between these two kinds of loans that we offer in Scottsdale.
A Pawn Loan is the same as a Collateral Loan. Since boats don't have titles the same way that vehicles or cars do, the loan can't be written out the same. All this means is that we hold on to the boat(which we already do in all cases anyway) in our safe, storage facility just in case of nonpayment of the loan. Everything else, including the loan terms, your interest rate, your monthly payments, are still the exact same as a traditional title loan.
So Pawn your Boat today! You can get cash in mere minutes in Scottsdale, Tempe, or Phoenix for your boat. Don't delay, get cash for your boat today!

All about: Salt to Taste
Los Angeles, Ca, June 9th, 2015- It's happened to all of us, we're reading a recipe, we feel pretty confidant, we get to the end and then it's there, it's always there- Salt tt or TT, also known as "to taste". As you read it you get annoyed and it's as if the wind and enthusiasm to cook is knocked out of you. Here is a little help to make you feel a little less defeated.
Why do recipes say "to taste": Adding salt is objective and anyone writing a recipe knows this. We recipe writers know that people with health conditions may not want any salt, we know that smokers may want a ton of salt and that the rest of you fall somewhere between a lot and a little, thus we leave out an exact increment.
How to know if you added too little salt: When too little salt has been added the dish will taste flat and can be tasteless.
How to know if the right amount of salt has been added: When the perfect amount of salt has been added to your dish the food will be full of flavor. The dish will be at it's best (I am sure this is why you might feel confused about adding salt).
How to know if too much salt has been added:When you have added too much salt to your food the dish will taste salty and will taste of salt.
How to teach yourself what is too much and too little salt in a dish: Use my salty test. It's a great way to teach yourself how much salt to use in a dish. You can do it with everything you make, but it works best with sauces, pasta dishes and soups.
- First take a small bowl and add enough (about 6-8 small bites worth) of whatever you are cooking to a bowl.
- Fill up a glass of room temperature water.
- Taste the original dish you made.
- Next take a sip of water.
- Then add a little bit of salt and mix it well.
- Taste it again.
- Take a sip of water.
- Then add a little more salt and mix it well again.
- Then taste it again.
- Take a sip of water.
- Continue this process until you've added enough salt that your dish literally tastes salty.
- Observe the changes in the dish as you add more and more salt and make a mental flavor note of when you like the dish the best.
- Now go back to the original and try to replicate what your perfect amount is in the entirety of the dish.
Why do recipes say to season all the way through the cooking process:When you add salt at different stages, such as the beginning, middle and end, you'll release different flavors from the item that you're cooking. However, if you're concerned with too much sodium in your diet, wait until the end to season your food with salt and do NOT use table salt.
What kinds of salt should be used:Many chefs prefer Kosher salt (including me) to cook with, including me. It's also less salty than table salt when the two are equal in quantity. This is due to the size of the crystals. Kosher salt is bigger; therefore it takes fewer grains to fill up the allotted measuring device, which makes it less salty.
What is the difference between table, sea salt and Kosher salt:
- Kosher Salt: Kosher salt is made up of large grains and, like all salts, is a combination of sodium and chloride. The benefit of the larger crystal is that it coats more evenly than table salt, and when you season meat with it, it creates a delicious outer layer of flavor. It's also less salty than table salt when the two are equal in quantity. This is due to the size of the crystals. Kosher salt is bigger; therefore it takes fewer grains to fill up the allotted measuring device, which makes it less salty. This salt is also used to make meats "kosher" because it helps extract juices from meats, which is part of the koshering process hence the name kosher salt.
- Table Salt: As well as sodium and chloride, table salt also contains iodine and it's a much smaller granule. It's best used at the table where guests may add salt to their food if needed. Table salt is so fine that it's difficult to detect on raw meat as you're salting it. Typically, people over salt their foods when they use table salt because they can't see what they're doing. Both table salt and kosher salt are considered rock salts that are retrieved from mines.
- Sea Salt: Sea salt is flakier salt, it crunches and then melts on your tongue quickly. It's a great finishing salt for salads, cooked proteins and even sweets. Sea salt is derived from the sea marshes of both the inland waters and lakes. It's made by containing seawater and allowing it to evaporate over time. What's left behind is the sea salt and, because it comes from different regions with different types of minerals, it turns the salt into a multitude of colors (pink, grey, black, red, etc.).
One last tip: Remember you don't want the food to taste like salt. You want to enhance the flavor of the food that lies within and not dominate it with a salty flavor. Keep a saltbox filled with kosher salt next to your stove to easily add it to any dish.
What salt do you cook with?

A friend wrote to tell me I was wrong-headed to fuss over the difference between who and whom. Who cares, he asked. No meaning is lost when the wrong form is used. Change is inevitable, he says. Let it go.
Who cares?
Who/whom cares indeed?
He chided me for being such a prescriptivist. Aren't linguists supposed to be descriptivists instead?
Well yes and no.
Here's my response to his note:
Dear X:
Just because there is no way to achieve complete sterility in the operating room doesn't mean you operate in a sewer.
I'm not asking for their heads to be removed. I'm expressing an esthetic preference. If you want to put beautiful china plates on Mickey Mouse plastic place settings, be my guest. But don't ask me to call it pretty. Or pretend I didn't notice.
Descriptively speaking, there is a difference between written and spoken discourse. We are less fussy about the spoken language because we allow for all kinds of idiosyncratic verbal expression. And it's tacky as hell to interrupt somebody while they're talking to hound them on their grammar or word choices. If you want to say, "I spoke to all the people who I had been previously introduced to" instead of whom, it won't even register on my radar.
But when you're writing, and have time to edit your work, I'd really like you to capitalize the days of the week, make the sign on your door say Accounts Receivable and not Recievable, and learn not to say "between you and I...less people today than yesterday...the smoke went up the chimbley" and "irregardless."
I repeat. I don't want to remove your right to satisfying sex if you do these things. I just want to feel free to think of you as a lazy uneducated dolt.
I'm not asking you to join me in kvetching about the current tendency to use it's for its or day's for the plural of day. But why are you asking me to turn away from this slop?
What's wrong with expecting young people to give up their seats to old people, children to learn please and thank you, and the next generation to see some value in learning a variety of spoken and written registers in their native language and follow the conventions? If you make the effort, a whole world of possibilities opens up to you when you understand the effect you have on the world around you when you follow the rules and when you break them. And what the difference is between breaking the rules for artistic effect and breaking the rules because you never bothered to learn them.
I love the fact that the English language has both...
"Almighty and most merciful Father; We have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done: and there is no health in us…"
"Jesus, I fucked up."
Two different registers. Both good. But imagine how the first one would sound if it ran:
"Almighty and most merciful Father; We have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheeps... and there ain't no health in us..."

Rutgers withstands late rally from Bryant, earns first win of season
It took six games, but the Rutgers women's basketball team finally put together a complete game for the first time this season. The result was its first win of the year as the Scarlet Knights defeated Bryant by a score of 50-42 Sunday afternoon at the Rutgers Athletic Center.
The Knights (1-5) team that showed up was a completely different one than the group that was just recently blown out by 30 points by in-state rival Princeton.
Head coach C. Vivian Stringer said that she knows that her team has potential, but they need to bring it every game. But after showing her frustration, saying her team doesn't "have any fighters" and that the team could very well go without a win all season, she'll take the win any way she could get it.
"We are calling on our players to demand more consistency from each other," Stringer said. "I'm happy that we did win and it's great."
The game started off with some sloppy play from both teams. Shots weren't going in, fouls were being called and turnovers were plentiful.
The Bulldogs (3-2) missed their first two free throws before scoring the first point of the day from the charity strip with 5:50 left in the first quarter. Bryant then knocked in a jumper with 5:15 on the clock for the first field goal for either team in the game.
Sophomore guard Aliyah Jeune finally put the first points on the board for Rutgers with a driving layup with 4:13 remaining in the opening frame. That ignited the Knights, as they went on a 7-2 run and forced the bulldogs to call a timeout with 59.2 seconds left in the first quarter.
Their run was capped off by great defense in the paint leading to a breakaway layup from junior forward Kandiss Barber. Another fast break layup by junior guard Shrita Parker made the score 11-6 at the end of the first quarter.
Bryant would respond with a 7-2 run of its own to take an 18-13 lead in the second quarter. Rutgers then answered back with yet another run, this time a 7-0 one to take a 20-18 lead. The teams then traded baskets back and forth with Bryant holding a slim 23-22 advantage at halftime.
The Knights began to press in the third quarter and it paid off, as Aliyah Jeune was able to steal the ball just behind half court and take it all the way for a layup to put Rutgers up 30-26.
Bryant had a tough time beating the Knights' famed 55 full-court press, and began to rush shots on offense, ending the 3rd quarter by missing 11 straight field goals. Rutgers slowly built a lead and Aliyah Jeune nailed a huge three-pointer with a hand in her face at the buzzer to put the Knights ahead 37-27.
"It's my teammates trusting me and me trusting my teammates," Jeune said.
Rutgers found itself up 41-31 with about seven minutes left and on their way to victory.
Bryant would mount a mini-comeback, hitting a three-pointer and a layup in transition following a bad pass by the Knights.
Another Bryant layup, this time following a Rutgers shot-clock violation brought them within three points. The Bulldogs would answer a layup from sophomore center Victoria Harris with an Ivory Bailey three-pointer. The Knights were only up 43-41 with 3:09 remaining in the contest.
Although she had a rough day shooting the ball, going 2-for-9 from the field, Parker wound up being the hero for Rutgers.
She knocked down a pair of free throws to put the Knights back up by four and then drained a fadeaway three-pointer as the shot clock expired with 10 seconds left in the game to put the nail in the coffin and seal Rutgers' victory.
Barber had a career game, scoring 14 points, nearly twice her season average of 7.2, but she chose to spread the wealth of the credit amongst her teammates.
"I think it was just a team effort, swing the ball, getting the ball in open spaces," Barber said. "And me making myself available for my teammates and all of us working together."
The Knights heard Stringer loud and clear after her remarks following the Princeton loss Friday, showing they did have fight with their effort down the stretch to earn them a first victory.
"I thought we sustained a level of intensity longer than what we had. I didn't know if we were gonna fold, or if we were gonna buckle down and come out on top." Stringer said. "It was nice to see us settle down, be patient with the ball, and trust each other"

The peaks of the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Mountains form the natural frontier between the provinces of Malaga and Granada. The Tejeda and Almijara Mountains are on the Malaga side, in the heart of the Axarquía region. Alhama is in the westernmost part of the province of Granada. Tejeda Peak reaches 2068 meters above sea level and offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean coast and adjacent mountain ranges. It is popular with hikers and mountaineers.
White and grey tones predominate in the peaks and gullies of these mountains, the result of an abundance of marble. The decomposition of these rocks creates areas of sand where pine groves adapt and form the most common ecosystems, with Aleppo, Austrian and even Corsican pines. In the highest and most shady areas there are also Pyrenean oaks and maple trees.

River walk in the Chillar river: A lovely stay-cool thing to do in the summer when it´s hot. The walk towards the river Chillar starts in Nerja (55 minutes). Check on the site of Walking Europe for more info. In summer it can be crowded of people.
Walking is not possible from the end of May to the beginning of September in southern Spain. This walk is one of the few exceptions: it is best in June, July and August, because you walk along a cool river bed in a narrow, shady canyon. Unlike many Andalusian rivers, this one has water, at least from the "fabrica de luz" (a very small hydroelectric station).
Obviously, you have absolutely no chance of ending the walk with dry feet. Wear old trainers and shorts. A walking stick is very useful, as the riverbed is stony. In places, the canyon is so narrow that you can touch both sides at the same time. The flora and fauna are not at all typical of southern Spain. You will see a variety of ferns and other shade-loving plants and beautiful butterflies and dragonflies.
The walk is easy but the stones in the river might make it a bit more difficult for some people, especially children. In places, you can swim in shallow pools, so take a towel.
How to get there: Nerja is accessible from Malaga by bus. You can get to the river via calle Julio Romero de Torres, then turn left into calle Solana and finally go right in to Picasso, one of the streets above the Municipal Sports Centre, leading to a broad track that descends to the riverbed. You can also get to the river from El Playazo Beach. If you take the latter route (which is longer), keep on the right hand side of the river (when facing the mountains).
The Walk Following the unsurfaced track that follows the banks of the river Chíllar, you will arrive at the confluence with the river Higuerón (which forks off to the left). Continuing on the right hand side of river, you eventually reach a small cement works and from this point, the riverbed narrows. You go this far by car (and perhaps a little further) but you must park the car before you reach the little hydroelectric station.
If the water in the river has dried up, do not worry, there will be water above the hydroelectric station. From here, you have to continue on foot. The first few meters (3 or 4) are steep and sometimes slippery as you navigate a ramp up to the real start of the walk. The walk gets better and better from here on. No description is needed: you could not possibly get lost from this point onwards. How far you go is up to you. You can continue for a few miles but the going is slow.
Warning - there are always dangers when water is present and supervision of all children is essential. It also wise not to use this route in periods when heavy rainstorms are likely.

Amanda and Iain of Force4sailing in La Herradura (1 hour) organize private skippered sailing charters.
Sailing from the stunning Marina del Este they head either east towards the ancient and beautiful towns of Almunecar and Salobren where they can anchor just off a beach for a swim. Or they sail west round Punta de la Mona heading towards Nerja and Maro passing the bay of La Herradura and the magnificent protrusion of Cerro Gordo this sees them firmly within the stretch of protected marine natural park that is fantastically popular with divers, naturalists and holiday makers.

Torre del Mar is one of the main touristic resorts of the Costa del Sol. Located in the eastern part of the Coast, the town is the beach resort of Vélez-Málaga, capital of the Axarquia region.
There are unsubstantiated claims that Torre del Mar once formed part of an ancient Greek settlement known as Manake which is believed to have been destroyed by the Carthaginians, prior to the arrival of the Romans. These days the town is better known for its four kilometers of sandy beaches lined with restaurants, bars and apartments; the latter primarily catering for summer visitors.
One of the resort's most pleasant features is the extended esplanade which follows the coast to reach the Marina of Caleta de Vélez which has over 200 berths and offers sailing and a variety of other watersports. Its lively cafés and restaurants also provide a good place in which to idle the time away, as well as enjoy excellent seafood.
More about beaches in our region is available on Absolute Axarquia.
Cantarriján naturist beach is situated in the Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo Natural Area just west of La Herradura near Almuñecar.
Access is down a steep windy track and from mid-June to mid-September you must leave your vehicle in the car park (free) at the side of the N-340 and take the minibus (€1 each way). You won't regret the hassle or the expense: the two shingle bays are protected by vertiginous cliffs and the sea is Caribbean clear. The first beach has sunshades, sunbeds, showers, two restaurants, and tends to be a naturist-textile mix, while the second is wilder, stonier and nuder.
Coming from Nerja on the N-340 coast road, the turnoff to Cantarriján naturist beach is well sign-posted, just past the 'Provincia de Granada' sign and before the Cerro Gordo tunnel. Alternatively, follow the A-7 motorway until the Almuñecar Oeste-La Herradura exit and then backtrack 8km along the N-340 towards Nerja.

There are a lot of different ways to enjoy fun activities on a scooter and it can be used almost in the same way as a skateboard or bike. The growing popularity of the freestyle scooter has led to people experimenting with new kinds of tricks and ways to ride it that are unique and impressive. Young kids or teens are quickly getting very skilled at riding scooters and are taking it to a new level that equals that of skateboarding or BMX tricks.
The list of tricks continues to grow as people that take this sport seriously get creative and push the limits of their ability. The best freestyle scooter riders can do tricks like flips and 360 spins or even typical skateboarding tricks like an Ollie. There is no limit to what you can do with a scooter as long as you put in the time and hard work to get better.
If you are interested in learning some of the tricks that people do on these types of scooters then you should look for some tutorials online or maybe find someone to teach you. It is important to stay safe even with a good performance scooter by wearing gear like helmets, elbow pads and knee pads. When you are trying something new you are bound to fall again and again until you finally land it.
Protecting yourself from injury will make sure you can keep working on the tricks that you want to learn and be safe. The best place to work on your scooter tricks is in a park that offers you a variety of different rails, ledges and ramps that you can use and you can trade tips with the other people in the park as well. The more you experiment with new tricks, the more you will get out of your experiences with freestyle scooters. Pulse Performance Scooters On Facebook.

Zyra's site //// Concepts //// Science //// Radio //// Maths //// Frequency Spectrum //// Speed of Light //// Site Index
The relationship between
Frequency & Wavelength
How to convert wavelength to frequency and to convert frequency to wavelength:
On a radio dial, stations are at positions measured in wavelengths by "metres" and in frequencies by "kilohertz" (KHz). Each particular spot on the dial has a wavelength and a corresponding frequency. There is a way to convert between frequency (f) and wavelength (l) which is as easy as the conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius or between pounds and kilogrammes.
To convert any frequency to a wavelength, divide the speed of light by it.
So, it's: wavelength = 299792458 divided by frequency.
The formula works the other way round, like this:
frequency = 299792458 divided by wavelength.
To make it easier, it's possible to approximate the speed of light to 300 million. Also, wavelengths are always measured in metres in this formula, and frequencies are in Hertz. 1KHz (kilohertz) is a thousand hertz; 1MHz (megahertz) is a million hertz.
Example: What's the wavelength of Radio1 FM 97-99 megahertz?
99 megahertz is 99 million hertz, so to get the wavelength, it's...
wavelength = 300 million divided by 99 million
= slightly more than 3 metres.
Another example: What's the frequency of BBC Radio4 long wave 1500 metres?
Ok, it's frequency = 300 million divided by 1500 = about 200,000 = 200 kilohertz
(The station is now on 198 kilohertz)
Why? How come this works? You can see this by walking past a wall (at say 3 metres/second to make it conveniently one hundred millionth of the speed of light) and drawing a wave on the wall with chalk by moving the chalk up and down. If you move the chalk up and down at a frequency of three times a second that's 3 Hertz, and the wave you've drawn on the wall has a wave length (from peak to peak) of One metre. Radio waves travelling at the speed of light and moving up and down at so-many millions of times a second have a corresponding wavelength drawn in space. At 300 million metres per second, a radio frequency of 300 million cycles per second (300 megahertz) draws a line in space with peaks one metre apart.
Ok, so you can convert any* frequency to a wavelength. And any wavelength to a frequency.
* We're talking electromagnetic waves here, radio, microwave, light, etc. These all travel at the speed of light. For Sound, and other mechanical waves, the calculations are a bit different, because they travel at the speed of sound. So, if you are calculating frequency versus wavelength for sound, you need to use the speed of sound in the equations rather than the speed of light. It's possible to have radio waves with frequencies as low as 10KHz, but their wavelengths are very much longer than those for sound waves of the same frequency.

Hi Telstra.
I am a business owner in Western NSW.
I can not get adsl or nbn where I am so I am stuck with the mobile broadband as the only solution.
Pity that the prices are ludicrous and the plan limits are completely unreasonable. I understand that alot of people only use mobile bb when they are out of the office or travelling and dont need much capacity, but we use mobile broadband to run our entire company because your current infrastructure does not support any other internet access. With most business transactions and accounting being cloud & email based now, our dependance on the internet is everything. When is Telstra going to come into the modern age and learn to be flexible to tailor plans to suit individual cases and not charge the earth for it???

Mick, I again understand your problem.
All ISP's are seemingly doing the minimum or no expansion because they know that when the NBN is done they will be junking their equipment and investment.
Even in inner suburbs in a capital city, until I moved, I had to put up with usually 1mb/s because of the lack of investment. All I was told was money, money, money.
Have you checked the NBN website as they display their plans for upcoming installations.
You could always write to the management, but I doubt that would make any difference.
You have my sympathy.

Harrow Borough aim to extend their winning league run to three matches when they host Ashford Town at Earlsmead tonight.
Following wins over Dartford and Margare David Howell's men are brimming with confidence ahead of the Middlesex side's visit but will be without exciting winger Robin Shroot.
The youngster is on international duty with Northern Ireland U21s, who face Scotland in a friendly north of the border tonight. It is understood representatives from League One side Peterborough United will be present to take another look at him as they weigh up making a move for the former Wimbledon youth product.
Meanwhile, Howell is expecting another tough match tonight. "They won their first six or seven games but have fallen away a bit since," said the Boro boss. "They are the side that beating Tooting by seven goals and Billericay by five and have a couple of ex-Harrow players who will want to do well tonight."
