Volunteer 'Belled' at UNA Center
Our volunteer Fran Koukal received a bell from Ben's Bells on March 30th. The Center had a cake and gifts of fabric and ribbon for Fran.
Ben's Bells honors someone each week who makes Tucson better. Fran began volunteering at the UNA Center in 2005. She noticed that there was no gift-wrapping for jewelry gift purchases and decided to do something about that. She began to sew small drawstring bags to serve this purpose. Customers can choose from bags in a variety of colors and prints. Fran purchases some of the fabric and some is donated by other volunteers. This year Fran, who is 94, made more than 1,100 bags.

Crystal LeQuang and Nicole Ha put on yet another amazing display of design this past weekend at their annual event Una Bella Sera. Check out their "great list" for all the talented vendors that put their love and energy into the evening. We were honored to be one of the featured photographers and asked to help document the amazing work. It was great seeing old friends, meeting new ones, all the while, snacking on cupcakes, chocolates and the Michi Sushi bar!
Each vignette was inspired by one of the five senses. I love the subtlety of some of the vignettes- how the five senses were used more as a springing off point, rather than a literal translation.
Here, we have "Sound". Rock and roll!
"Smell": Before I figured out the theme, I remember thinking "WOW, that room smells so good". Gardenia's were placed in strategic spots all over the room.
"Taste": I almost ate this vignette
The amazing talented Nicole and Crystal!

I mean, really – who wouldn't want to see a hotel they'd spent a few hundred pages reading about? Around the time I read the book I was negotiating a new job – career move – and I before I realized what I was doing – I found myself negotiating into the deal a little extra time off to track the locations in Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Then, I convinced my sister to come to Seattle with me and when we arrived we started with the hotel and then clicked off the locations in the International District. I didn't – but you should – take the tour at the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience. The author – Jaimie Ford – helped create it. And don't stop there – there's much more to see when it comes to tripping on Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.

"If a friend of mine…gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit… But if…. a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly. If he shut the doors of the house of mourning against me, I would move back again and again and beg to be admitted, so that I might share in what I was entitled to share. If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, I should feel it as the most terrible mode for which disgrace could be afflicted on me…"

"I choose to write because it's perfect for me. It's an escape, a place I can go to hide. It's a friend, when I feel out casted from everyone else. It's a journal, when the only story I can tell is my own. It's a book, when I need to be somewhere else. It's control, when I feel so out of control. It's healing, when everything seems pretty messed up.
And it's fun, when life is just flat-out boring."

Must I say more? Thank you, Alysha Speer.
This blog has deteriorated into a bad phoenix joke. For that I apologize. I've lost count of the number of times I've written about "resurrection". Neglect and idleness have betrayed my supposed desires to write and relate. Consistency has seemed an impossibility, until now.
I've come to a decision: A post (at least) a week. A quote – hopefully more often.
It starts with a spankin' new hide and sobriquet. The new skin speaks for its minimal self. The new name, though, needs some explanation and a dash of humour.
Our friends from Merriam-Webster say this of the name in question:
1. having many syllables : long word (primary reason of choice…you know… because sesquipedalian is defined as a long word, heh. Hilarious, right? Right? – humour ends here)
2. given to or characterized by the use of long words.

Is He or She Interested In Me?
It is one of the many fundamental questions we face in life, men and women alike. "Is he/she interested in me?" It is a question we ponder over when we're in the shower, on our white porcelain thrones, or when we are in full swoon over this guy or girl. It's usually in the same spirit of inquiry as "What will I do if I had a week to live?" "Why are we here?" "When will Winds of Winter come out?" "Would you rather lose all your old memories or lose the ability to make new ones?" or "Did Han shoot first?" We may be in peace, dunking our favorite cookie in a warm cup of milk when, suddenly, the cookie breaks and sinks into the milk and we're left there wondering why bad things happen to good people.
Non sequitur aside, let's address the question in…er… question shall we?

Your audiobook is waiting…
Floridius Bloom and the Planet of Gloom
By: Lorijo Metz
Narrated by: Bryan Kennedy
Length: 10 mins
Regular price: $7.00
Publisher's Summary
Floridius Bloom has found a source of light on the Planet of Gloom, and what has he decided to do with it? Why, build a brick wall around it and hoard the light all for himself, of course! But when a small creature named Zrill breaks through Floridius' fortress to "take a peek", Floridius is forced to discover the amazing creatures beyond his walls. Perhaps it's time to step outside of his solitary existence?
This gentle audiobook illuminates the importance of friendship, connection, and interdependence on a planet that could use a little more light.

My customers are so great and tend to think of me when clearing out their furniture.
A sweet lady bought the coral chair from me and loved it, a little while later she asked me if I were interested in this coffee table she no longer needed.
So here is the table before. She is solid wood and such a cute shape with the barn door sides.
She just needed a little love.
On the top I painted a paris decal to add some vintage character (and possibly because I have an addiction with the idea of paris even though we'll probably never afford a trip there).
One of my favorite parts of redoing furniture is seeing the excitement on the customers faces when they come to pick up a piece they have bought. The lucky lady that purchased this one brought her 3 year old daughter and when the little girl saw it she said "YAY, but we need chairs!" After some discussion about sitting on cushions we (the little 3 year old and I) determined this would be a great table for tea parties!
I love to see a happy customer, even if they are just a toddler!

Instagram continues to amaze me. I love looking at everyone's images and engaging with people around the world.
It's a fabulous way of sharing content and having dialogues. You're all brought together by an image.
Instagram continues to amaze me. I love looking at everyone's images and engaging with people around the world.
It's a fabulous way of sharing content and having dialogues. You're all brought together by an image.
I've become an addict. I can stand here and hold my head up and be proud to say it. I AM ADDICTED, but not to anything narcotic or alcoholic.
No, I am addicted to Instagram. I was introduced it to months ago by a colleague, but never really got into it. Purely because at that point I was addicted to Twitter. Over Easter a friend showed me some of her images she'd posted onto Instagram and showed me how it worked.
That was that. I went home, delved into my app and began posting. My first few images were straightforward shots of my pets; photos I'd taken on my iphone4 and not altered in anyway. Those first few posts contained no hashtags, I wasn't sure what to do. Then I looked at other people's images and noticed they'd hashtag them #ig (Instagram), #igaddict (Instagram addict), #iphonegraphy and so on. The lists were endless. Hashtags connected to what the image was, whether it was black and white or colour, beautiful or photo of the day.
These keywords are important to help people locate and follow. See an image you like, then like it or comment on it. Your likes can be seen by your followers and you can engage in dialogue with people around the world.
Some on there are professional photographers, who use more than their iphone to take a snapshot. I only use my iphone and there are many who do the same. It's amazing what good quality photos can be taken with the phone.
While Instagram offers filters to be able to change your image, if you don't want it to remain
'normal', there are so many other apps out there to do the job. I'm enjoying Snapseed, Percolator and Frame Maker. Snapseed is great as there are many tools to manipulate your image from its size to filters, colours, structure, contrast, etc. And it's so easy to use too.
Percolator is interesting as it allows you to convert your images into bubbles and it's all done as if you're making a brew. While Frame Maker allows me to import my images and put them into frames. Here I've been able to show before and after or a range of shots and how they've been tranformed.
I've now progressed from snapping my family and animals to looking at things around me and taking a photo and then using Snapseed to recreate the image. I also love on my travels snapping architecture and quirky things.
This is addictive. Because my phone is with me all the time, it's handy to grab it out my bag and point and shoot. Instant uploads and within seconds it's there on Instagram. I love looking at what other people are doing too and engaging in dialogue with them.
There are many people taking landscape pictures and street scenes, and there are some very talented people out there too. It doesn't matter whether you're a great photographer or not. It's about, for me anyway, seeing things visually and then taking that image. While it may look great normal, I then love the fact I can change it and enhance it in some way.
The other night I took a picture of a glass purple paperweight and turned it into a photo called 'The birth of a new star'. As a photo on its
own it looked bland and boring. Visually not interesting, but chuck it into Snapseed and add filters to it and alter the brightness and you have something unusual and different. You can see the bubbles in the glass, but where the light has caught it I've been able to expand and develop that.
It just reminded me of the galaxy and a star exploding, hence its name.
Instagram is a great app and I thoroughly enjoy using it. I'm always looking for something to take a picture of. If you look on my IG profile (lingarde) then you'll see a variety of images from portraits to abstracts.
It's the variety I like. I don't concentrate on one type of image. I seem to go through phases, one week it's animals, then riding shots, then abstracts. Just lately it's been shoes and legs. Who knows tomorrow what I may take?
I suggest everyone gets on there and becomes an #igaddict. It's worth investing that time into creating things. Especially if wanting to go into media. It's a showcase of your work. Are you one?
I'm currently exploring some new apps for journalists to use on the iphone4. I'm a being fan of using my phone in the role of a journalist. It's great for taking photos, shooting video and recording podcasts.
For podcasts I use audioboo as it's so simply and easy to use. Recording time is limited, though you can upgrade, but I find it is sufficient. I've also experimented with iProRecorder, which was good and easy to use and allows longer recording time.
I use the iphone4 to film in HD and use ReelDirector to edit. While it is simplistic and I don't find it easy to trim shots down, it is straightforward to use. I'm also looking into Vericorder's range of apps at the moment for video and audio editing and also at an app called Luci Live, which allows you to live broadcast and link into the studio. Perfect for when you don't have an ISDN line. However at a hefty £300 I don't think I'll be rushing to buy this one!
Of course everything I produce is all interconnected and instantly lists things on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. I'll feed back some more as I experiment further with these apps and if you use or know of any other apps suitable for journalists to use then please share.
#LincUpLive 360 is here next week, so watch/listen/read for more
One day some undergraduates seem to have a wake up call and realise the degree they chose to commit their life to is not what they expected it to be and so have a dilemma as to what to do next.
Many have chosen their degree, not by its reputation or facilities, but by location. The city/town is known for its excellent clubs/bars or shopping. Or it's close to where boy/girlfriend is studying. How many actually choose the degree for what it's worth and where it will take them next?
I've written here before about how Grimsby has an image issue. People assume because it's called Grimsby, that it's actually grim here or that because it's at the end of the M180, it's the road to nowhere. It's believed to have been named after its founder, a Danish fisherman called Grim who in folklore rescued Prince Havelok from the North Sea. Grimsby, like many places in the UK, has its downside. The upside is, that it is cheap to live, travelling is not an issue as everything is close by and within walking distance. Cleethorpes and its golden beach are down the road, Hull and its nightlife are over the river and the rolling Wolds are a stone's throw away.
It is a friendly town and people always seem willing to chat and strike up conversations. Speak to the students and they'll tell you about the Multi-Platform Journalism programme and the reasons why they chose it.
And so many famous people have come from the town or chosen to live in the vicinity – John Hurt, Julie Peasgood, Chubby Brown, Johnny Leeze to name but a few.
And now the town has its own University Centre, a fantastic new building to house the Institute's university programmes. It is bright, light and spacious. On the ground floor there is a cafe and coffee lounge/bar. There is a well stocked library which is open 24 hours a day.
On the media floor we have two TV studios – one green screen and a soft studio using Tricaster. There is a radio studio and multi-platform newsroom complete with ENPS, Final Cut Pro and the undergrads learn not only how to audio and video equipment to shoot and edit but also how to use their smart devices.
It's an exciting course for all things social, digital, media, journalism and iPhone! Plus there are plenty of opportunities for work placements – Grimsby Telegraph, BBC Hull (Look North and Radio Humberside), Seven TV – all of whom have employed ex students too.
As people start to go into clearing then if you have 240 UCAS points then apply for this course. Our external examiner Chris Walton, Project Editor of the BBC College of Journalism recently said at an exam board that this course prepares students to hit the ground running. As he called them, they're oven ready! So if you want to learn the skills to become oven ready then give us a call!
Call 01472 311222 for more information and an application form.
Social media put Lincoln on the map last Friday and the third year MPJ students were right at the heart of it.
Linc Up Live was a conference all about social media featuring some of the top people across the UK and the world. It was organised by social media advocates Glenn LeSanto, Celia Lacey, Andy Clayton and Tim Downing.
It was a great event featuring Social Media lecturer and consultant Joanne Jacobs (she was an angry bird), who talked about the art of linking. The event was kicked off by Mazi Nadjm, head of Ogilvy UK.
One of the keynote speakers I was particularly interested in hearing from was Kate Day, Social Media and Engagament Editor of the Daily Telegraph. Kate talked about how newsrooms were using social media to engage and interact with their audiences.
She talked about how the DT had used social media and the Blackberry to find out more about the riots and what it added to the story. It was an insight into how newsrooms are changing.
The third years were tweeting from the various workshops and also managed to grab some podcasts too. They found the experience invaluable and were fired up. Thank you to Becky Fletcher, Tamsin Wong, Kirsty Carter and Sam Dent for taking up the opportunity, which I'm sure will be the first of many.
I'll post some links to the work they produced. You can check out photographer Paul Clarke's images from the day.
The next Linc Up Live event is Feb 17th 2012 – a date for your diary. It was well worth going to. NB. This date may now change due to it being half term. I'll keep you posted.

UPDATE: Representatives Herrera Beutler, Mike Thompson, Lucille Roybal-Allard, Paul Tonko, Adam Smith and Hakeem Jeffries have now signed on to PAST.
It took the promise of 76 trombones to catch people's attention in River City, but in Washington, D.C., today, two veterinarians, supported by a significant bi-partisan coalition, numbering more than 100 members of the House of Representatives, have reintroduced the PAST Act to this congressional session. It is a move that is sweet music to the people who support the initiative.
The House Bill number is HR 3268. The American Horse Council broke the news that the bill is now active and alive on the Hill. Representatives Yoho ( R-FL) and Schrader ( D-OR), both veterinarians, are leading the march to end soring using the power of federal legislation to end decades of industry non-compliance and shilly-shallying over empty promises of making meaningful change.
PAST's sole purpose is to amend the existing Horse Protection Act by removing so-called performance packages, action devices, and heavy shoes whose only purpose is to exaggerate gait, while contributing to soring endemic in three breeds, walking, racking and spotted saddle horses. Noted horseman Monty Roberts who has had direct experience with the big lick horse and is a supporter of PAST said in a statement, "Soring is one of the most despicable training methods I have ever come across in my lifetime of protecting horses. It's incredible to me that an industry based on the intentional infliction of pain to an animal could still exist in America. Congress should finally bring an end to this blatant cruelty and pass the PAST Act without delay."
Earlier in the year, also in a bipartisan effort, currently with 43 senators in support, companion legislation was introduced in the Senate ( S.1121). It is apparent that the drive to amend the federal Horse Protection Act is not going away. It is supported by the AVMA, the AAEP, the AHC, the USEF, the veterinary medical societies of all 50 states, and the HSUS, but, just as importantly, it is being worked for by a growing number of advocates from all across the United States while the effort is being watched by an international audience.
As an example, a recent Change.org petition was successful in presenting information regarding the dubious intents of the Veterinary Advisory Committee, paid for and sponsored by The Celebration, but officially "not associated" with the show (even though its results are used by The Celebration in determining who will not get prize money if caught out by the "independent group" , led by industry friendly, since 2006, Dr. Jerry Johnson) to the respected Hagyard-Davidson-McGee Equine Institute of Kentucky. The response to the information provided by the All American Walking Horse Alliance and the comments of signers to the petition caused Dr. Robert Hunt, who had been announced by The Celebration as part of the VAC effort, to withdraw.
According to the clinic, they had been led to believe that their involvement was to help the big lick horse component find a way to abolish action devices. Upon withdrawing from the program, Hagyard also announced that it was fully in support of the PAST Act.
Now, another Change.org petition is asking similar questions about Countryside Veterinary Clinic's involvement with the VAC through the participation of its Dr. Phillip Hammock, a member of last year's VAC who is still on board in 2015. The answer to whether or not Dr. Hammock will continue to be part of this charade, which clearly involves, as one big lick insider wrote on a message board " keeping our politicians secure on our side" remains to be seen.
The efforts of respected organizations, in concert with the activities of citizens working at the grass roots level, combined with the expertise of Drs. Yoho and Schrader and their outreach to their colleagues, means that this introduction of PAST, rolled out on the 29th, has more original co-sponsor support than the bill had previously.
PAST is a bill whose time has come. Both senators and representatives who can't seem to agree on much else, do agree on this piece of legislation. PAST will continue to be worked on assertively by all concerned, no matter how long it takes to achieve the goal of passage, because it is the right thing to do in order to end the wrong things that have been happening for decades in this isolated segment of the horse world.
In close step are ordinary citizens who are already contacting senators and congressmen, participating in orderly protests against animal cruelty represented by the big lick elements at horse shows, and appealing to charities not to accept donations from cruelty masquerading as entertainment, in combination with exposing the continuing actions of industry participants themselves, leading to constant demonstrations of why this "Tennessee tradition" , as Senator Lamar Alexander continues to call it, is nothing for which the state should be proud or for the nation to be willing to tolerate. The grass roots support effort must continue to move steadily forward and that includes thanking these representatives for HR 3268.
Under Representatives Yoho and Schrader, the parade has picked up the pace. Behind the trombones come other integral parts of the band, including on introduction day, the following representatives: Republicans Barletta, Brat, Buchanan, Calvert, Chabot, Chris Collins, Cook, Costello, Crenshaw, Rodney Davis, Denham, Diaz-Balart, Donovan, Farenthold, Fitzpatrick, Flores, Forbes, Gibson, Granger, Hanna, Heck, Hudson, Hunter, Bill Johnson, Jolly, Jones, Joyce, Peter King, Lance, LaBiondo, Marino, McSally, Meadows, Meehan, Mica, Nuggent, Perry, Posey, Ribble, Roskam, Salmon, Schweikert, Chris Smith, Lamar Smith, Valadao, and Roger Williams and Democrats Cohen, Schakowsky, Adams, Beatty, Blumenauer, Brownley, Capps, Capuano, Cartwright, Clark, Connolly, Susan Davis, DeGette, DeLauro, DelBene, Deutch, Engel, Eshoo, Esty, Farr, Frankel, Gabbard, Grayson, Grijalva, Guitierrez, Alcee Hastings, Heck, Himes, Honda, Israel, Jackson Lee, Jeffries, Keating, Kildee , Kilmer, Kilpatrick, Langevin, Larsen, Levin, Lowey, Lujan, Lujan-Grisham, Sean Patrick Maloney, McCollum, McGovern, Meng, Patrick Murphy, Nolan, Norton, Pallone, Scott Peters, Pingree, Pocan, David Price, Quigley, Roybal-Allard, Sarbanes, Schiff, Sinema, Slaughter, Adam Smith, Mike Thompson, Titus, Tonko, Van Hollen, Vargas, Vela, Walz, Welch, Fredrica Wilson, and Yarmuth.
The sound heard inside the beltway isn't just music to the ears of sound horse supporters, it's also the sound of marching feet coming from all across America.

Breaking News
Dwayne Wade's cousin, a 32-year-old mother of 4, was killed in Chicago Friday in what the NBA star is calling an "act of senseless gun violence."
Nykea Aldridge was pushing a baby stroller in Chicago's Parkway Gardens neighborhood when two men opened fire on another. Aldridge was caught in the crossfire and struck in the head and arm … she was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Wade said Friday night, "My cousin was killed today in Chicago. Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughIsEnough"
You'll remember … Wade took the ESPYS stage a few months ago with Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul to spread a message of peace and to end senseless violence.
Cops are questioning two men in connection with Aldridge's death.

Tui Na
The age-old science of Chinese Tui-Na medicine revolves around the use of the physician's hands to diagnose through palpation and treat diseases and illnesses with a variety of manual techniques.
Tui Na is the physical medicine branch of Asian Alternative Medicine. Used for injuries and rehabilitation for thousands of years, it is more effective than other forms of physical medicine when combined with acupuncture, herbs, and nutrition. Tui Na physical therapy and Asian Alternative Medicine may offer a superior level of treatment for sports injuries, injuries from auto accidents, work accidents, arthritis, and limited range of motion due to aging. Each region of the body has a specific treatment protocol which is focused on relaxing muscles, stimulating nerves and tissue, relieving adhesions, and further relaxing muscles. This helps restore normal functions and prevents muscles from remaining stressed and perpetuating the problem.
The Tui-Na physician will tailor-make a treatment protocol for each individual patient based on the specifics of the patient's particular situation to effectuate a cure. These treatments are done without the use of devices or drugs, relying solely on the physician's hands directly treating the patient's body. A well-trained Tui-Na physician will also be quick to utilize modern medical resources when available, gladly taking a patient's MRI, X-ray, biopsy, or other test results into consideration. While the average person may only conceive of such treatment methods as useful for external or orthopedic disorders, the reality is quite different.
Tui-Na is also unlike either massage or chiropractic in technique and theory. On a theoretical level, Tui-Na uses traditional Chinese medical theory as a basis for treatment. Concepts of chi (ch'i, qi, or ki) energy, blood, yin & yang, and essence play pivotal roles. On a technical level, Tui-Na is far more broad and encompassing than either massage or chiropractic medicine. Massage, by and large, does not treat diseases, but rather relaxes muscle tension and increases local circulation to relieve discomfort. However, most massage systems lack the kind of comprehensive scope that Tui-Na is known for. Most massage is also unable to effectively treat disturbances in bone alignment. Chiropractic, on the other hand, while it may reliably reduce misalignments in bony structures, generally does not spend adequate time treating the muscles surrounding the bony structures before and after re-alignment. As a result, many patients of chiropractic complain of a rebound effect following treatments. Tui-Na, however, treats the muscular tension surrounding bony structures in such a way as to minimize the rebound effect immediately following treatments.

I'm BORED. I've exhausted all the games I can think of on my com. Done with Stepmania, FlashFlashRevolution, Runescape, YouTubing, bloghopping, watching anime, downloading manga, played on Miniclip, and worst to the worst, went back to Maplestory, but quit after 30min cos it was really to boring. And I'm waiting for the lastest anime episode of D. Gray-Man to be uploaded on CrunchyRoll as well as the next chapter of D.

Urgh, I haven't even gotten around to open up the graphics editing programmes yet. Anyway, my mom's got her own blog O.O Spent a whole morning teaching my mom is use blogger and explaining the blog title, posting, url and so on.
Me: This is blah blah blah, and it will appear as blah blah blah on the blog. And...(continues convo)
Mom: ...I don't really understand.
(Above convo was in Chinese, usage of words may vary)
But actually, it was quite hilarious to explain everything to my mom is broken bits of sentences mixed with English. Of course it was tough to explain what html was to my mom is Chinese, but I had quite a laugh at hearing my own self explaining in such a way that it doesn't make sense to myself.

Bail bonds bill decreases school funding
By Amber Revels-Stocks
The Times-Leader
Tuesday, October 16, 2018
Pitt County Schools could see a significant decrease in revenue thanks to a bill to make it easier for bail bonds agents to avoid paying forfeitures.
Since the bill came into effect this month, PCS has already seen a loss of $52,000.
When a defendant is charged with a crime, the state often sets a bond to serve as insurance that the defendant will come to trial. The most common method of posting bond is to pay a bail bonds agent 10 percent of the bond.
If the defendant fails to appear in court, the state constitution gives the public school system the right to receive the forfeited bail money unless one of seven conditions is met, according to Pitt County Schools in-house counsel Emma Hodson.
Previously, the only way bond would not be forfeited is if charges were cleared, the defendant surrendered to a law enforcement agency or was arrested, the defendant died or the defendant was in prison at the time of the failure to appear, according to Hodson.
Session Law 2018-120 changed this.
"This is an omnibus legislation pertaining to insurance," Hodson said. "It's a 40-page document and less than a quarter of a page is a change to the bail bond statute."
This change states that if the defendant was not in jail at the time of the failure to appear, but is placed in jail any time between the failure to appear and 150 days after when the school system can claim the money, the bond remains with the bail bonds agent.
This bill went into effect on Oct. 1 in Pitt County. Hodson reviewed a case where a defendant failed to appear at court but was not incarcerated. He was out of jail 51 days before heading to another state. He committed a crime and was arrested there.
"Without this change, the bail bondsman would have had more of an incentive to catch him and bring him back," Hodson said.
Pitt County Schools lost the $52,000 bond forfeiture despite the defendant not having been tried for his crime in North Carolina.
"I am tracking this data," Hodson said. "(The $52,000 loss) is just what I saw last week. I expect the amount to increase over time."
In the 2016-17 fiscal year, the district recovered $589,178 in bond forfeitures, according to Hodson. That money went into local funds, which helps pay for professional development, operations and facilities and supplemental pay, according to chief finance officer Debra Baggett.
It is estimated that the new bill will cut the amount of bond forfeitures the district receives in half, according to information Hodson shared from N.C. Policy Watch.
"We've budgeted $750,000, so it would be a budget shortfall," Baggett said. "At the point when we did our budget, we didn't know it would have that much of an impact on us. It's not like we'd pay for something extra. It could possibly result in cuts to what we're already doing."
At the time, Baggett said she is not making any cuts.
When the bills initially passed the state legislature, the District Attorneys Association and the Council of School Attorneys began to lobby Gov. Roy Cooper to veto the bill. He did so on June 25.
"Adding another excuse to set aside a bond forfeiture when a criminal defendant fails to appear in court hurts school funding and reduces incentives to ensure justice is served," Cooper said about his veto.
However, the General Assembly overrode the veto.
The majority of the omnibus bill that contained the change related to the health insurance industry, according to Hodson.
"It was not a rushed bill or anything like that," Hodson said. "Bail bondsmen are the ones who benefit from this. There's less incentive for people charged with a crime to be brought to trial."
School board member Benjie Forrest recommended finding out how the change was placed into the bill.
"Most of the time when something like that is included in an omnibus bill, it's because it will not stand on its own," Forrest said. "It'd probably be advantageous to find out how that slipped in there."
School board member Betsy Flanagan said she was worried about losing a source of revenue that did not come from taxpayer money and how it would be replaced. Meanwhile, school board member Carolyn Doherty worried the change would make it easier for defendants to not stand trial.
Hodson encouraged the board members to talk to their professional associations and state legislatures to bring Session Law 2018-120 back before the General Assembly and amend the language.
"Can we get a document written from us as a board and have us all sign it and send to the General Assembly? Or a memo from each of us?" school board member Robert Moore asked Chairwoman Mildred Council.
Board member Worth Forbes added the board should we attach Hodson's data to the document.
Council agreed it needed to be looked into for the next board meeting, which will be Nov. 5.

Stefani Kim, of Native Peoples Magazine, has written an informative article
"The two-day conference will mark a historic, high-level meeting at the UN among world leaders that supporters say shows progress in the push for indigenous rights—especially because indigenous groups have struggled for the right to retain their unique culture, language and traditions while being treated equally by the countries in which they reside.
But as the meeting fast approaches, not everyone is endorsing it, and not every organization engaged in indigenous issues will attend. Because only state leaders will be involved in drafting a final document on the rights of Native people, indigenous groups protesting the conference believe that sovereign Native nations will not have enough of a say in setting the agenda.

Let's talk about cold.
So being born and raised in New England, I was always under the impression that Georgia was in the south, thus warm. How wrong I was. The past two nights have been about 30 degrees F and 10 degrees F. I have a 20 degree bag SURVIVAL RATING, the comfort rating is 35 degrees. Needless to say, I've been cold. Newest goal: find a new sleeping arrangement (liner, warmer bag, etc).

Jordan Fistman's Call Your Father takes a scathing look at two generations of gay men that don't understand one another, but seek each other out, regardless.
Jordan Fistman is a queer filmmaker whose new short film Call Your Father makes for an uncomfortable watch.
The film explores a rendezvous between a self-centred and reckless millennial, Josh and a meek and mild middle-aged man, Greg.
Neither of these characters are particularly positive representations, with Fistman delving into generational qualities we might not be keen to confront in ourselves.
Greg and Josh go on a toxic night filled with awkwardness and charm, lust and loathing, pleasure and pain. These characters are both deeply flawed, yet aren't self-aware of their short comings, despite being quick to point them out in each another.

How many times have you wondered,
"Who can recommend a good book about college ministry?"
The UKirk national office has coordinated an effort to bring practitioners into conversation with one another around literary offerings focused on collegiate ministry. In an effort to help provide resources and offer the fastest accessibility to books on ministry with college students, we have initiated a comprehensive literature review project, called UKirk Lit.
UKirk Lit is a series of book summaries that focus on the college campus as a unique ministry context. These book summaries go beyond what you might find in an online reviews and offer executive summary-type reviews, written by thoughtful practitioners.

Sen. Orrin Hatch To Retire, Likely To Be Replaced By Mitt Romney
The longest-serving GOP Senator is calling it quits.
Utah's Orrin Hatch, the GOP's longest-serving Senator, announced Tuesday that he will leave Congress after his current term, opening up a Senate seat in his home state.
Hatch delivered the announcement in a video, posted to Twitter.

2017 marked Hatch's 40th year in Federal office - he was elected to his seat in 1977 - and he says it's time to retire.
"Every good fighter knows when to hang up the gloves," the senator says in the video. "For me, that time is soon approaching. That's why after much prayer and discussion with family and friends, I've decided to retire at the end of this term."
Members of the Republican party and, perhaps most notably, President Donald Trump had been pressuring Hatch to call it quits, even though Hatch enjoys a sky-high 83% approval rating in his home state, and has nearly $5 million in his campaign coffers.
According to sources close to the GOP in Utah, it was his wife Elaine who finally convinced the 83-year old to retire back to his home state.
Hatch is unlikely to leave office, however, without naming a successor. In previous interviews, Hatch was clear that he wanted former Presidential candidate and Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney to replace him. Romney has not made any commitments, but he has been rubbing elbows with some of Utah's top donors of late, even attending a high-profile GOP fundraiser in Salt Lake City in late November.
Romney is popular, and now lives in Utah, but at age 70, he's hardly a long-term replacement for Hatch, and he will have high-profile competition. Failed independent Presidential candidate Evan McMullin, who has turned into a leading "never Trump" voice (even to the point of entertaining rumors of Trump's associations with Russia), is also expected to throw his hat in the ring, though on Wednesday, he voiced his support for Romney.
To say that Romney is not beloved by the Trump White House is also an understatement. But Utah, as a whole, did not love Trump in return. Nearly a quarter of Utahns voted for a third party candidate.

When you navigate to the print settings of your printer, you may find under Print Quality the following options:
- Standard, High Quality, and Fine Grain.
What does fine grain mean? Is this better than High quality? The answer to this question, we would like to present you here:
The grain size is virtually the size of the printed particles. This print quality will usually only be found with a laser printer in the print settings. Because here the ink particles are "lasered" onto the paper.
This almost answers the question:
- High quality
The quality is already very high here, but the grains are still a little worse than fine grains.
- Fine Grain
This setting actually corresponds to the best print quality, as the grain size is the finest here. This corresponds to an imprinted letter or an image pixel is printed with many small dots. This then results in a text or a photo with a particularly high print quality.
You now know the difference between high quality and fine grain.

We bring common sense (an elusive commodity in today's market) along with Engineering fundamentals, a penchant for facts and data, and an extensive background in moving organizations and people, to deliver results.
We use proven tools that emphasize the delivery of value to the customer, overlaid with a facilitated process that enables the individuals to model working as a team. The leave-behind is the environment: the process design, the technology infrastructure, the readily available performance data, the performance goals and incentives, clear boundaries of what this group of people – this team – is and is not responsible for.
To be clear, just getting people come together and to sing "kumbaya" is not going to make them a better team. It's not sustainable. It doesn't stick because the work environment hasn't changed. The same old incentives, policies, and crappy processes are in place, resulting in the same poor interpersonal behaviors, and the same performance issues. They continue to behave as a group of individuals satisfying their own needs without regard or plan for the greater good of the company.
We believe that the best results are achieved through a facilitative approach - helping the people that do the work every day create the change
We provide the time-tested tools and design principles and an open, facilitated environment to guide their analysis and design
We don't presume to know the nuances of their work, hence don't attempt to drop an "Expert" solution on them

As Trent Baalke explains it, he didn't have any irreconcilable differences with Jim Harbaugh, the now-former San Francisco 49ers head coach.
"The relationship between Jim and I, I think often times was very misrepresented in the media. Very misrepresented," said the general manager on Monday during a joint press conference with CEO Jed York at Levi's Stadium.
"I don't read all the accounts, but certainly I'm briefed on things that are going on. And you couldn't help but notice all of the controversy in the articles that were written, but it wasn't like that day-to-day. It really wasn't."
Baalke said that both he and Harbaugh rejected the characterization that they simply didn't get along.
"The louder we talked, the less it was heard. And the bottom line is, the relationship between a head coach and a general manager have to be in synch. There's going to be disagreements and there's going to be a competitive balance to it, but they have to be in synch."
"Coming to work day-to-day in this organization has not been how it's been reported."
So if there was no problem with Baalke and Harbaugh, was the issue with York and the former coach? Baalke refused to offer a direct reply when asked that question.
"As Jed stated earlier, we're not going to get into the exact philosophical differences. You know it was a mutual parting of the ways. There were some issues that we weren't going to come full circle on. And we made that decision to move on."
But then Baalke reiterated, conflict is part of the "beast."
"It's the nature of the beast. There are always things that you're not going to totally agree on. That's just, that's part of the business."
The post Baalke Says Relationship With Harbaugh: 'Very Misrepresented in the Media' appeared first on BaySportsNet.com.

I used to keep a sturdy DJ. Now, I seem to wake up from a dream, think about it for a few min, then go back to sleep. When I wake up, I can remember it but not as well (vs. if I had written it down earlier).
Do you think this is a "will" problem? I choose sleep over writing in the DJ? Usually I write it down later.

Re: Writing in DJ vs. sleeping
It definitely is a will problem. I have it too. It's like, "Eh... I don't feel like writing my dream, i'm too tired..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
Re: Writing in DJ vs. sleeping
its just a skill. Try just putting down one or two bullet points when you wake up and start from most recent dream. I remember up to 5 or more dreams a night and they can turn up as far apart as the day after. They are so real that one of the issues I feel is that its like trying to remember everything you have done in normal life and really you need to ask why.
Who are you I asked, the reply "dont be silly, we are your daughers" many years before they were born

Hey guys! Welcome to my blog. In this post, I will be telling you how to get volume in hair in just a few seconds. I have decided to write about the honest reviews of beauty products because I use a lot of them so I thought it would be an awesome idea to share my favorite beauty products with you. 🙂 I'll be reviewing this hair product that I am currently obsessed with.
I use a lot of hair products and I keep trying until I get my hands on the best. This time I am super happy with my purchase and I'll give you the genuine review. Let's get started quickly.
How to get volume in hair in just 10 seconds:

Product description as claimed by the company:
Hair Big Sexy Hair Powder Play Volumizing And Texturizing Powder Is A Great Hair Product That Will Help You To Get That Extra Volume In Your Hair That You Are Looking for.
How to use this product: This product comes in a powder form and little goes a long way. Apply it in your roots and rub it with your fingers very gently so that it does not leave the white residue.
Warning: Do not apply too much.
What makes this product different from other products:
- This works instantly like a magic and it is my go-to product for my bad hair days, we all have them right?
- Little goes a long way. I know you must be wondering about the price of this product. Trust me it lasts really long. The bottle is tiny so it won't make you happy at the first place but with time, you will realize that it really lasts long.
- The quality is amazing, it does not damage your hair.
- The fragrance does not irritate you.
- This really works and it is a must-have in your hair regimen.
Few extra tips on how to get volume in hair:

- If you want instant volume, you can definitely try this product. Use conditioner first and then apply shampoo to get the beautiful volume in hair.
- Do not wash your hair every day because it will make your hair look flat. Wash twice or on alternate days.
- Do not use oil on dirty hair. Yes oiling works best on fresh hair.

These were my bonus tips on how to get volume in hair.
I hope you liked it and keep checking the product reviews every week because I'll bring something new every week. Do check out my other articles for more help.

Mostly because Alpha legion in CSM and the Nurgle Loci are both excellent chapter tactics that clean/complete detachments can enjoy, whereas the Death Guard chapter tactics largely suck (18" rapid fire? yeah w/e).

Easter getaway to start from today
The 2018 Easter getaway will last longer than previous years, with congestion increasing from today and return journeys creeping into Tuesday 3 April.
The prediction comes from travel analytics firm Inrix, which says that although the Easter period will see the number of cars on UK roads fall 2.5% compared to last year, traffic forecasts for both Maundy Thursday and Easter Monday show a 20% increase in the average number of cars being driven compared to usual.
Similar to 2017, the most affected roads on Maundy Thursday will be the major motorways, with the worst delays three times longer than on an average Thursday.
In contrast, Easter Saturday and Sunday are expected to bring a 25% reduction in the number of cars on the roads compared to average.
Graham Cookson, chief economist and head of research at Inrix, said: "If drivers have to travel during peak times, they should consider alternative routes and regularly check live traffic data to ensure they avoid the worst of the delays."

Lens Distortion
The difference between these modes are:
Depending on the method selected, these settings can be used to create interactive guides that must be positioned as accurately as possible along the straight (but displayed as distorted) edges. The Manual method lets you create 2-point lines and the Automatic method lets you create 3-point lines. Additional points can be added to 3-point lines at any time via
How to best position guides is explained in the example above.
Delete Selected Line
Delete Selected Line
Deletes the selected guide.
Click on this button after guides have been created in Automatic mode (note that you must first have the proper Lens Distortion Model selected). Cinema 4D will then "straighten" the bent lines and create a set of lens profile settings that will automatically be defined and can subsequently be saved.
Not all guides have to be created before clicking the Auto Solve button. This can also be done with only one or two guides but the result will most likely not be satisfying. Simply add more guides and further undistort the image until you're satisfied with the result.
You can select from five different models.
Select the Lens Distortion Model based on the type of image or video footage:
If these names sound familiar it's because they originate from the Lens Distortion Plugin Kit from Science-D-Vision (which was also used for the lens distortion functionality) and their names were not changed to eliminate any possible confusion.
The difference between the most commonly used models:
The 3DE Anamorphic Degree 6 model is only included for the sake of completeness (in case you created a corresponding lens profile in another application). Its use is otherwise not recommended.
The Lens Distortion Models' various settings
The settings for each Lens Distortion Model will not be described individually. They are variables within complex formulas that we will not bog you down with. These are defined automatically by Cinema 4D anyway. Instead, we have depicted the most important settings, each with a positive and a negative value, in the image below. This gives you an impression of the effect that these settings have.
You can view these settings as shape controllers - regions of the image will be distorted or undistorted differently, depending on which setting is modified.

Part of the excitement of investing in real estate is finding the perfect properties. But it's not easy. To simplify the search process, here are the essential steps to take as you identify and evaluate a multifamily investment property.
Part of the excitement of investing in real estate is finding the properties that are just right for you. It's not easy, but it wouldn't be so satisfying if it were. To simplify the search process a little, here's a look at some of the essential steps to help you evaluate and identify a multifamily investment property.
Considerations for Evaluating a Multifamily Investment Property
When you find a property for sale, how do you evaluate it? You need to gather a tremendous amount of information that falls roughly into four areas:
1. Understanding the transaction. Most transactions are far more complex than a simple purchase or sale. You need to understand the seller's motivation as well as your own. There is nothing inherently suspicious about selling a property—it's an activity we approve of wholeheartedly. But try to get an idea of what is going on with the sellers behind the scenes. Why are they selling? Are they in a hurry to sell? That could give you an advantage in negotiations. Or are they trying to offload an underperforming holding? It can be helpful to look at factors such as vacancy rates, deferred maintenance, and operating costs.
You need to understand your own needs in detail, as well, to judge a potential deal. How does the property fit into your existing portfolio? Will you get the return you want in the time you expect to hold it? Detailed analysis is required to find out.
2. Doing the math. This is absolutely crucial, and it's a tall order. There's an impressive array of acronyms to decipher, equations to calculate, and "rules" to follow, and behind them all are mathematical and economic principles of varying complexity. For example, consider price per door, IRR (internal rate of return), NOI (net operating income), NPV (net present value), and CAP (capitalization rate)—if you can't calculate these yourself and interpret the data you come up with, it's recommended that you seek the help of an investment adviser. If you fail to consider them correctly, you will be operating in the dark and at risk of making an investment mistake.
3. Analyzing past performance and future potential. The key to successfully analyzing a property's performance is asking for the right information and, again, doing the math. Ask for a profit and loss statement and the property rent roll. If a property's performance indicators are not stellar, that should be reflected in the negotiation process.
Performance issues do not have to scuttle a deal. The solution to the problem may be apparent. Are the rents at market level? If not, they can be raised. Is the manager or management company reliable? That can be changed. Is the neighborhood in decline? Becoming hip? In the former case, negotiate hard. In the latter, you may want to consider repositioning the property.
4. Doing due diligence. If your evaluation leads you to pursue a purchase, there will be a whole new round of questions to ask. These will be narrowly focused and of a technical nature. The general outlines of due diligence are well known, including title search, physical inspection, and review of leases. There will be a number of specialists involved, but they are relatively easy to find and can be counted on to provide actionable advice.
The investor has two challenges here. The first is to set the parameters of due diligence verifications to ensure you don't miss anything. The second is deciding what you want to do with the results received. How much deferred maintenance are you willing to accept? Everyone has their own limits.
Working with a Multifamily Real Estate Investment Expert
If all of this fills you with perplexity rather than the thrill of the hunt, there is a simple solution: leave it to experts. Even if you are a seasoned investor, a real estate investment management company will have resources and a staff with a combined experience that exceeds any individual's.
The advantages of having a team of experts working for you cannot be overestimated in a complex process like buying an investment property, where much is at stake. A firm that specializes in multifamily real estate can be especially effective in helping you make an informed decision.
Another option is to buy a share in a property owned by an investment firm. That property would already be thoroughly vetted. As an investor, you would have assistance throughout the transaction and there is often in-house property management in place. Those are major benefits that should be considered when evaluating and choosing an investment property.
