The cartel that's been ruling the South African football players and coaches market is crumbling after a key member of the cartel, Quality Talent Sports, reached a consent agreement with the Competition Commission to cooperate in the prosecution of of a massive collusion made of 35 entities.
The Competition Commission announced today the agreement which will see Quality Talent Sports (QTS) pay a paltry fine of R114 168. QTS has pleaded guilty to charges of fixing the price of commission fees and fixing trading conditions and will now "cooperate fully in the prosecution of the other accused companies".
The Commission has referred the agreement to the Competition Tribunal for confirmation.
QTS, the South African Football Intermediaries Association (SAFIA) and 35 other football intermediaries were referred to the Tribunal for prosecution in September last year. The Commission uncovered collusion among the total of 37 accused, who negotiate transfer fees and contracts for football players and coaches.
The investigation revealed the following, among others:
- SAFIA and its members agreed to charge soccer players and coaches a standard 10% commission fee when negotiating transfer fees and contracts on their behalf;
- They charge football players a standard 20% commission fee when negotiating commercial contracts; and
- They use SAFIA as a platform for collusion.
QTS, a sports agency representing players and coaches mainly in the Premier Soccer League, has also agreed to attend a competition law compliance training programme and to make the training materials available to all employees, managers, directors and agents annually, to ensure they comply with the Competition Act.
In May 2015, the South African Football Association (SAFA) acting on instructions of FIFA sought to regulate the affairs of football agents, including to reduce the 10% commission to 3%. SAFIA blocked this attempt through a court interdict.
This matter comes out of an interesting twist of events. In July 2015, the Commission received a complaint from SAFIA against SAFA. SAFIA alleged that the 3% cap introduced by SAFA constitutes fixing of an agent's fee in contravention of the Competition Act. Following an investigation, the Commission decided not to prosecute the matter.
However, during its investigation, the Commission obtained evidence that SAFIA and its members may have engaged in collusive conduct by fixing the commission they charge football players and coaches. In December 2015, the Commissioner launched an official investigation against SAFIA and its members.
The accused in the matter are: South African Football Intermediaries Association; Pro Sport International; Siyavuma Sports Group; The Players Club; Bidvest Media trading as MSC Sports; Quality Talent Sports; Prof' Sionalz Marketing and Management; JDR Consulting; P Management; Musawenkosi Arthur Dlamini; Tebogo Taunyane Hlapolosa; GS Sports Agency; Erika Bester; Sierra Sports Agency; KN Sports; Bheki Khathide; Liberate Resources Sports Management; Eclectic Sports Management; On the Ball Sports Management; Touchline Sports Management; True Ambition Sports Management; Eliot Nzama; Ben Kokela; ETM Sports Management; Sports Midfield Agency; Alex Bondarenko; Mede8 Sports; New Generation Sports Management; Abelsam Sports Management; Cape Colosseum Management; Sipho Shaven; MVP Sports Management International; Modhouma Holding; Gladwin Mpho Diokane; Vasili Barbis; Phelele Mkhize and MS Sport Management.
Commenting about the QTS agreement, Competition Commissioner, Tembinkosi Bonakele, said "It's encouraging to some someone who owns up and undertakes to assist the investigation and prosecution, not waste our time and valuable resources. In turn, QTS has been able to negotiate palatable settlement that take into account of the fact that they have shown remorse and regret their unlawful actions."

Keeping ahead involves continuous hard work to enhance the reputation of the brand, coupled with product innovation based on detailed market research that indicates how to please customers.
This case study examines the positive way in which McDonald's is responding to changing customer habits and increased levels of competition.
Today, many people live busy lives and place great importance on convenience when buying and paying for goods and sevices. They are attracted by modern, quick service products such as drive-in car washes, mobile phones and ready meals.
For many people (though not all), this emphasis on instant service is a winning formula, particularly for younger people and young families.
However, research indicates that modern consumers of all ages are seeking experiences that are more individualised than in the past.
All organisations need to be in touch with their business environment in order to make sure that what they do fits with customer expectations.
In terms of the product life cycle, quick service restaurants have reached maturity in the UK and need an injection of fresh life through innovative ideas if their lifespan is to be prolonged.
McDonald's is looking to provide appropriate solutions to these changing trends. In particular:
- consumers are seeking more food variety and healthier eating -McDonald's is providing a more balanced offering that includes fruit, sugar-free fruit drinks for children and more chicken products
- price is becoming more critical to decision-making - McDonald's has created an Extra Value Meal and a McChoice menu offering a flexible combination of drinks, sandwiches etc in addition to the meal, thereby providing excellent value for money.
McCaf?provides an avenue for McDonald's to target these consumers by offering high quality coffee served by specially trained caf?staff in a caf?style environment.
Learning outcomes:
As a result of carefully reading this case study, students should be able to:
- know that the Quick Service Restaurant sector is a mature market facing competition from several rival offerings e.g. take-away food and supermarket ready meals
- appreciate the contribution of market research to product development
- understand some of the key consumer trends affecting the market for informal eating out (IEO)
- explain how competitive strategies are required to gain competitive advantage
- describe some of McDonald's recent competitive strategies e.g. chicken deals, McChoice menus, and the McCaf?concept
- outline the key strengths of the McCaf?concept.

Music and escapism go hand-in-hand. A concert or an album can unlock another world, if you let it. The Motet respect and revere this time-honored phenomenon. Fusing fiery funk, simmering soul, and improvisational inventiveness, the Denver, CO seven-pieceLyle Divinsky [vocals], Dave Watts [drums], Joey Porter [keyboards], Garrett Sayers [bass], Ryan Jalbert [guitar], Parris Fleming [trumpet], and Drew Sayers [saxophone]have continually provided an escape for listeners over the course of seven full-length albums since 1998, including their latest release Totemand with an upcoming 2019 release. That extends to countless sold out shows and festivals everywhere from Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, and Summer Camp to All Good Music Festival and High Sierra Music Festival as well as 16 consecutive years of themed Halloween concerts.When youre listening to us, I want your mind to be taken away from wherever you are during the day and into some other place,states Dave.Its all about that.After quietly building a diehard and devoted following, 2016 represented a watershed year for the musicians. They welcomed Lyle and Drew into the fold and released Totem, which drew acclaim from Relix, AXS, 303 Magazine, and many others. For the first time, The Motet sold out the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheaterthe holy grail venue of their hometowncataloged on Live at Red Rocks. Sell-outs followed everywhere from The Fillmore (San Francisco)and Tipitinas (New Orleans)to Brooklyn Bowl (Brooklyn), Park West (Chicago), and Crystal Ballroom (Portland). The group locked into an unbreakable groove.Weve never been a band that just blew up overnight, Dave goes on. Weve been very tenacious about our movement forward. Weve been through many different iterations throughout the years. Right now, it feels like weve got the lineup thats making an impression on our scene. Lyle is the perfect match for us. Hes got musicality and this raw energy we all resonate with. He ignited this spark to put work in and write inspiring music.That spark lit again in 2017. Following Jam Cruise and a second Red Rocks gig, the band fired up the new single Supernova.Strutting between hypnotic horns and swaggering guitars, the track sees The Motet blast off to another galaxy. Quickly racking up over 150k Spotify streams in a months time, it instantly excited fans.Supernovais the first song that I was involved with from start to finish, explains Lyle. Joey brought in the initial musical idea. We expanded upon it and worked everything out. The word Supernovakept jumping out to me. We decided to roll with that and give it an interstellar romantic dance theme.Supernova has kicked off a series of singles, so far including Get It Right and That Dream, that leads up to anew album coming in early 2019. However, everything comes back to the escape that The Motet deliver.We want to take people on a journey, Lyle leaves off. In order to go on a journey, you have to participate. You cant just simply let it happen around you. You have to give yourself into that journey. Everything is open. Youre free to be yourself. Youre free to go on that adventure and journey. We want to be the catalyst for listeners to understand themselves and the world around them.This is a family, concludes Dave. Weve got each others backs. Were doing this, because we love to be around each other and create together. Were committed to working together because we appreciate and respect what we have to say and provide the music world and our community.

Foundations x Clean Cuts: Children of Zeus
Event details
Fri 11 May
Live: Children of Zeus
Clean Cuts x QM x Foundations: Children of Zeus.
And support from Bobbie Johnson, Lebeaux, SilverTongue and NDPNDNTS.
The soulful, hip-hop duo Children of Zeus are comprised of two of Manchester's most respected artists Konny Kon & Tyler Daley. Their rise over the past year has been meteoric. Since the release of their last album 'The Story So Far…' they have been touring and playing at festivals all over the UK and Europe with summer 2018 looking to be one of their busiest yet. Konny Kon is a DJ, MC and beatmaker best known as one third of Broke'N'English alongside fellow Mancunians DRS and Strategy. Tyler Daley, also known as Hoodman went from being a respected MC and actor to one of the most in demand soul singers of recent times, lending his vocals and writing credits to music from Goldie, LSB, Soul II Soul's Caron Wheeler, Lenzman, Lisa Mafia, Bugsy Malone, and more.
Bobbie Johnson is a Brighton-based MC/singer who over the past year has supported Rag N Bone Man, Roots Manuva The Pharcyde. She's graced festival stages around the UK and Europe, and has gained the nickname of the 'Rapping Adele' increasing her fan base with every show she commands, promoting the new age voice of hip hop. Her trademark style of conscious thought and social commentary was showcased impressively on her latest EP You & I.
Lebeaux The Brighton-based three piece, formed by Turrell Lebeaux (lead vocals), Luke Campbell (drums), and Rob Bensusan (bass) team up with some of the best upcoming musicians to create a unique blend of Pop, RnB, and Funk. Used to making the stage his playground, Turrell skilfully fuses his otherworldly vocal range with his electric live presence to deliver an incredible experience. After a sell out show last month, Lebeaux returns with the upcoming release of their new single 'Gold Man'. If your ears have not yet been graced by their sound, then do not miss your chance as 2018 is going to be their year.

RIP-1 Version-Specific Features
Since RIP version 1 was the first version of the protocol, its features formed the basis for future RIP versions; it doesn't really have any version-specific features. What RIP-1 has is a number of limitations, such as a lack of support for specifying classless addresses and no means for authentication. RIP version 2 was created to address some of RIP-1 shortcomings. As we will see in the next topic, RIP-2's features put to good use those Must Be Zero bytes in the RIP-1 format.

Page 4: Travis Perkins´ customers and the marketing mix
The Internal customer is all employees and associates of the business are important, they are the point of contact with the external customer. The External customer buys goods from the business. They are also the potential customers the business hopes to attract in the future.
Travis Perkins must strive to continuously improve performance and be better than the competition to keep existing and attract new customers. In order to pursue competitive advantage Travis Perkins is constantly reviewing and adjusting its marketing mix, paying attention to the little things that make a difference.
The marketing mix is also known as the 4Ps:
- Price
- Product
- Place
- Promotion.
Travis Perkins does not aim to be the cheapest, its aim is to provide value for money and a service customers can rely on. Customers may have tight deadlines. A reliable supply to finish the job is therefore essential.
Some customers are more price sensitive than others. Account customers are given preferential rates depending on their product requirements and purchasing habits - volume and overall spend are two key drivers to create the correct price levels for a specific customer. Goods can also be delivered from the yard or direct from manufacturers to produce the most competitive rate.
Travis Perkins needs to be aware of lifestyle and fashion changes when it decides which products are offered for sale. Many products are standard building materials but adding value to the product is important.
Accessibility for customer and supplier is vital to the success of any business. It must also consider how to display goods within its premises, for instance, placing similar or complementary products close to each other and labelling products clearly.
All businesses need to tell the customer what it has to offer. It is important that Travis Perkins considers carefully the most effective methods of promotion to maximise sales. Strategies might include; special offers, on line ordering, point of sale offers, trade shows and exhibitions.
The marketing mix for Travis Perkins has:
For price
- standard prices for one-off customers
- differentiated discounts for account holders/frequent purchasers
- many products are discounted
- offer value for money and an excellent service.
For place
- branches need to be accessible by road
- adequate car and van parking
- space for loading/unloading
- complementary products need to be near each other
- impulse buys at point of sale
- associated services such as hire, kitchen planning where appropriate
- safe & friendly environment.
For product
- needs to reflect lifestyle changes
- needs to reflect legislation and technology advances
- added value products such as pre-packed bags of sand and cement for easy transportation
- ready-made wooden constructions such as trellis, fence panels, doors & windows
- link selling to ensure the customers buy associated products such as fixings & finishing materials.
For promotion
- website www.travisperkins.co.uk
- online ordering
- tool hire online
- exhibitions
- customer surveys
- special offers and value lines - Spotlight and Red Hot Offers feature the very best deals each month
- catalogues/direct mail
- sports sponsorship.

Hey guys,
Dick Napalm here. First off I want to thank everyone who has come to the site and those who have bought the Bunny Bound Graphic Novel 'Love Really Hurts!'! It's great to know that you guys are enjoying my work.
Drawing Bunny in all these awful situations takes up a lot of time and energy, especially because all of these are hand-drawn (no Photoshop stuff!). So from now on, Wednesdays updates are moving to Patreon starting with this very special Bunny story just in time for the holidays. This won't affect the Monday and Friday update content. Those will still be free for everyone as usual! This way I can keep on drawing, maybe create more comic art and stories and finish the second Bunny graphic novel I have in the works.
Repeat : This won't affect the Monday and Friday content. Those will still be free for the everyone!
If you'd like to support me on Patreon you can either click the giant Patreon logo on the right side of the page, or click here (http://patreon.com/user?u=3690893). Thank you SO MUCH in advance!
Happy holidays!

Understanding the Public's Understanding of Science
By Meagan Vakiener
The author, Meagan Vakiener, sharing her research at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.
One of the reasons I chose to get my PhD at The George Washington University was the Human Paleobiology program's emphasis on educational outreach. The Center for the Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology requires a Public Understanding of Science Internship for all doctoral students, an obligation that some view as an opportunity to work closely with an organization dedicated to presenting science to the public. This past spring, I completed this requirement by interning in the Education and Outreach Department at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. Inspiring people to better understand science and the natural world, this branch of the museum develops content for exhibits, school programs, and online resources. The main goal of my internship here was to develop activities and materials to communicate how gorilla skeletons are useful for research and conservation.
This was my third summer travelling to Rwanda to work on the Mountain Gorilla Skeletal Project, a collaborative research effort between the Rwandan Development Board's Office of Tourism and Conservation, The George Washington University, Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project, and NYU College of Dentistry. I'm often asked when I describe my research why I focus on hard tissues such as bones and teeth instead of studying the living gorillas. What most people do not realize though is that bones and teeth can tell a story all their own, one that often cannot be as well understood by simply watching the animal in its day-to-day life, especially in regards to disease and injuries that may not show clinical symptoms. The key purpose of my internship was therefore to convey what can be learned from these hard tissues about both individual gorillas and mountain gorillas as a species within a conservation context.
The process of developing these materials and activities ended up taking about six months, with six two-hour public testing sessions in various areas of the museum to understand where the activities would best conform with the exhibits around them. Through this progression, we found that a facilitated cart (hand-on activities set up at a cart with a volunteer leading the visitors through the activities) tested best in the Q?rius education space as it allowed visitors to spend the time necessary to understand all the learning goals we set out to accomplish. Within a ten-minute interaction time, the public routinely was able to walk away from our cart having learned the following:
1. If a gorilla skull or mandible was male or female based on the size of the canines.
2. That the morphology of the entire dental arcade is needed to determine diet, as large canines in gorillas have a more social purpose.
3. The approximate age of an individual based on dental eruption and tooth wear.
4. How teeth preserve an incremental record of their growth and development, and how this information can be used to estimate the age at death.
5. How to combine the above learning goals to solve a forensic mystery (i.e., is it possible that a mystery mandible belongs to a specific gorilla individual based on sex and age of that material?)
Our next steps now involve seeking approval to use some of the gorilla material in Rwanda to fine tune these activities with interesting stories from specific gorillas. I spent part of my summer engaging in discussions to have part of this facilitated cart integrated into the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International's Karisoke Research Center museum located in Ruhengeri, Rwanda. Overall, it has been intellectually stimulating to experience the challenges and advantages of working in a high profile, internationally recognized institution with public education as a main priority. Through many meetings and testing sessions, I have developed science communication techniques beyond speaking with fellow academics. Being able to better communicate the importance of science to the public is an immeasurably valuable skill to develop, one that will become ever more important with the current changing political climate of our country.

You belong among the wildflowers
Last night we drove to Winters to spend some time with the sunflowers. You can find them right here:
Field of Sunflowers, 8747 Currey Road, Dixon, CA 95620
We have driven by fields of sunflowers before, but never stopped. We never waited till the sunset and witnessed the glow up close. It was magical.
Before we saw the sunflowers, we stopped in Davis for a quick dinner and wrote down what we want to do before we die.
- Casey wants to be a professional skateboarder.
- I want to help create a beautiful community garden.
- Pedar wants to LOVE more.
- Erik wants to swim with whales.
Grateful for sunflowers, family, warm evenings, dreams and love.

Aurelie Filippetti, a French politician, alleges "she was warned not to meet with Dominique Strauss-Kahn in a Paris apartment because the "satyr" may have attacked other women there," the New York Post reported.
So she turned the opportunity down, the Telegraph reported.
Filippetti revealed the warning when she was questioned by Paris police on Friday, in connection with allegations made by Tristane Banon, that DSK assaulted her in 2003. "Police looked at e-mail exchanges between Filippetti and Banon's mother, Anne Mansouret, written shortly after the alleged attack," the Post said of a report in French newspaper Le Figaro.
In one email, according to the Telegraph, Banon's mother (who says she herself had consensual but "brutal" sex with DSK) tells Filippetti that her youngest daughter is going to file a complaint "against a man in his fifties unfortunately with a PS (Socialist Party) label."
Anne Mansouret also wrote that,
[S]he thought the prospect of legal action against "this rutting chimpanzee with sadly famous initials" would "please" Miss Filippett.
Filippetti responded:
For my part, I was invited for a cafe for a chat at the same notorious address... I spoke about it to a friend, who warned me against it, practically forbidding me from going... But perhaps other girls have been victim of the same practices and perhaps they will speak. The little I've seen has shown me to what extent the character is dangerous for women. You can count on my support.
In a later email, according to the Montreal Gazette, Filippetti said that Banon filing charges would be a good move and may encourage other possible victims of DSK to speak out. In that email she called DSK a "satyr" -- a "lecherous man" according to Webster's Dictionary.

The housing studio in the 4th semester, B.Arch aims to understand the variety of housing types; the needs of privacy and communal spaces; the ideas of extended living; and to differentiate and understand the nature of organic and planned communities. Project scales are limited to allow for intensive study and complexities of special contexts are incorporated: dense settlement, occupation based communities, climatic requirements, traditional and urban fabrics, social status, etc.
The emphasis is to develop sensitivity towards micro level human habitation and the role of architecture in enhancing the quality of living. All housing studios undertake an intensive background research of housing typologies and documentation survey of the selected site / intended users and communities.
The 2013 Cohort designed two hypothetical projects having unique set of challenges: A retirement community in Srirangapatana, Mandya District, near Mysore; and A housing project for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) in Bangalore. The EWS housing was considered to be an alternative response to a slum housing project developed by the Karnataka Housing Board at Nayandanahalli.
The studio faculty: Prof. Smitha MB; Prof. George Kuruvilla; Assoc. Prof. Jai Ganesh; Asst. Prof. Manju C Nair; Ar. Ravi Venkatesh
The 2014 Cohort designed four hypothetical projects . Two of these set up a condition to respond to each other: A retirement community and a SOS Children's Village. Both sites were given next to each other, located in close proximity, behind the existing SOS Village in Bangalore. The other two projects responded to the reality of current real estate scenarios by designing mid-rise residential communities with different housing typologies.
The studio faculty: For the SOS Children's Village and the Retirement Community – Prof. Smitha MB; Asst. Prof. Manju C Nair; Ar. Shilpa Sompur and Ar. Sujay Kuncham. For the mid-rise housing – Prof. George Kuruvilla; Assoc. Prof. Jai Ganesh; Ar. Adityakiran T
The 2015 Cohort are designing four projects, of which two are based on live projects. Project I: A community of artisans in Sholapur, Maharashtra; Project II: A slum in Vailaikaval, Bangalore; Project III: For some portion of the the Tibetan settlement in Bylukuppe, Coorg; and Project IV: A portion of the Katputhli Colony in Shadipur, New Delhi

March 11, 2001, Section LI, Page 14Buy Reprints
AFTER her 16-year-old son suddenly pulled a knife and threatened to harm her, his mother managed to calm him down and persuaded him to go to his room. Then she called a doctor she knew from her son's previous hospitalization at Sagamore Children's Psychiatric Center in Dix Hills.
Her son was admitted to Sagamore, where doctors adjusted his medication. After a week, he returned to his home in Babylon and now attends his local public high school. His mother, who asked that her name not be used to protect her privacy and her son's, said she would never have sought help if it meant that her son would have been sent to
Pilgrim Psychiatric Center in Brentwood.
But that's what would happen under a cost-saving measure proposed by Governor Pataki. Under this plan, Sagamore would be closed and its patients, who range in age from 7 to 17, would be moved to a separate wing at Pilgrim, an institution now exclusively for adults.
''Pilgrim is depressing,'' the teenager's mother said. ''If children were placed there, they wouldn't have a future -- they would have no hope. It has a foreboding look about it. We want the children to develop skills, to be able to come back to the mainstream world and not to feel defeated.''
''That's what is so positive about Sagamore,'' she continued. ''It is safe and provides an atmosphere that encourages children with mental illness to go back and function in the mainstream. It has nice grounds and is in a residential area. I would never be comfortable knowing that children were on the grounds of Pilgrim. Never.''
She is one of a chorus of parents of current and former Sagamore patients who have begun protesting the governor's recommendation to the State Legislature to close Sagamore. The 32-year-old hospital now has 69 patients in residence and serves some 450 outpatients a day. Fifteen years ago, Sagamore served 200 patients a day, about 15 to 20 percent of them outpatients.
''Candidly, this stinks,'' said William Barrett, the president of Sagamore's board of visitors. ''Sagamore and other children's psychiatric centers in the Bronx, Queens, Rockland and Buffalo were built by the state because it was decided that children in adult institutions were not being served adequately. Now, they want to shut down all of them but the one in the Bronx.''
Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. of Bridgehampton, the ranking Republican on the Assembly Mental Health Committee, said he had toured Sagamore and was sympathetic to the parents opposed to the move. ''I'm impressed with what they have there, and I can understand their reluctance to putting the children on the same campus with adults,'' he said. ''It's inappropriate. There is sympathy in the Legislature for maintaining the separation. I think the advocates for Sagamore have a fighting chance.''
In his testimony at a legislative budget hearing on Jan. 16, the state's mental health commissioner, James L. Stone, said that relocating the four children's psychiatric centers to existing adult institutions over a three-year period would help the state provide better psychiatric services.
''This will not reduce state-operated inpatient capacity for children,'' he said. ''It will provide a safe and therapeutic environment in newly rehabilitated, physically and programmatically separate, age-appropriate space. Our overriding commitment is to provide the highest quality of care and standards for children with serious emotional disturbances.''
A spokesman for the State Office of Mental Health, Roger F. Klingman, said the consolidation would save $40.8 million in capital expenses at the four centers in the next few years. And Sagamore's executive director, Dr. Robert Schweitzer, said its sprinkler system would also need improvements, costing $5 million to $7 million, to comply with fire codes.
Mr. Klingman said the consolidation would save another $7.7 million in operating costs. He said the savings would be realized in part by reducing staff through attrition.
The number of therapists would not be reduced, Mr. Klingman stressed, and Sagamore's staff would be transferred to a special wing at Pilgrim. ''Sagamore would continue as a hospital with its own clinical staff and programs and space,'' he said.
But during a recent visit to Pilgrim Psychiatric Center by five of the six members of Sagamore's board of visitors -- Long Islanders appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate -- they all expressed strong objections to the proposed move.
Ninfa States of Great Neck raised concerns about the cost of the renovation needed at Pilgrim after Dr. Schweitzer told the group that one floor of the seven-story building would have to be gutted and made into a school.
Mr. Barrett, the visitors' president, said he was told that those renovations, along with other needed work, would cost $7 million.
''If we're going to build and renovate,'' Ms. States said, ''has that cost been considered? I don't understand where the savings are. I'm seeing big numbers here.''
Board members repeatedly expressed a concern that if children were moved to Pilgrim, they might end up mingling with the adult patients. But Dr. Schweitzer assured them that although the children's building would be connected to the adults' buildings, they would be sealed off from one another so ''you couldn't have adults and children passing each other.''
He said that even the outdoor recreation area would be screened ''so that the children couldn't be seen by adults walking by.''
Asked how the children would be shielded when they walked to the playground or went outside to board buses for field trips, Dr. Schweitzer replied, ''I hear you, and I'm concerned, too.''
He said he and the board should consider pressing for a separate access road to the children's building to further limit the possibility of contact.
Louise Jones of Amityville, a board member, said: ''That's absolutely necessary. The reason why we are so pushy is because this proposal is in the budget for this year, and it is supposed to be passed by April 1. We want it out of the budget.''
Elaine Reinke of Massapequa, another board member, said, ''I never saw a group in such total agreement.''
But the prospects of their children's being treated at Pilgrim has many parents worried. ''Pilgrim is a scary place for parents to think of taking their children,'' said Sarah K., who asked that her last name not be used to protect her family's privacy. Her daughter, now 22, was treated at Sagamore five years ago. ''Parents have a hard time dealing with the fact that their children have emotional problems. The percentage of kids who get help is lower than those who do not because of the huge stigma attached. But Sagamore looks like a school campus, and it has a Boces school there and a gym. I allowed my daughter to go to Sagamore, but I wouldn't let her go to Pilgrim.''
Debra Begley of Babylon, whose 17-year-old son suffers from hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder, said that Pilgrim was ''awfully scary and intimidating and is associated with so much horror.''
''If I had had to bring my son to Pilgrim, it would have ripped my heart out,'' she said.
Another parent, Josephine Carrasquillo of Ronkonkoma, said her fear of Pilgrim was based on firsthand knowledge. She said she was hospitalized in Pilgrim's geriatric ward nearly 20 years ago for rehabilitation after two strokes and a heart attack.
''The buildings are eerie, horrible,'' she said. ''You can't put kids in a place like that.''

Royals welcome struggling Tigers to The K for a two-game set
Manager Ron Gardenhire knew the Detroit Tigers would take their lumps this season. What has been troubling to him lately is their sloppy play.
Outfielders missing cutoff men. Pitchers failing to hold runners on properly. Infielders bobbling grounders. Batters swinging at pitches out of the zone.
The Tigers carry a three-game losing streak into a two-game series at Kansas City. Detroit left-hander Matthew Boyd will oppose right-hander Jakob Junis in the opener Tuesday.
Gardenhire wants his team to play smarter and sharper.
"We've got things to work on, a lot of things to work on," he said. "We're trying to work on it and we're touching on it just about every time it happens. We make sure we talk to them about it. All those little things will eventually pay off down the road."
Francisco Liriano was originally scheduled to start Tuesday, but Gardenhire shuffled his rotation to accommodate ace Michael Fulmer.
Liriano will make a start later in the week because Gardenhire wants Fulmer to pitch every fifth day. Fulmer, who will pitch Wednesday's matinee, made his first start since the All-Star break Friday after recovering from an oblique strain.
"Our goal here is to keep Fulmer on his five days because he's coming through this thing," Gardenhire said. "So we're just kind of adjusting. Frankie's one of those guys who can adjust. He's done it before and he's a veteran. He doesn't have too many worries about those things, so we're going to adjust with him."
Boyd (8-11, 4.09 ERA) held the Chicago White Sox scoreless for six innings in his last start. He also collected a victory in his last visit to Kansas City, giving up two runs in six innings and striking out seven July 25.
Improved control has led to an uptick in Boyd's effectiveness. In his last nine starts, Boyd has issued just seven walks while striking out 51.
In 12 career starts against Kansas City, Boyd is 3-6 with a 6.40 ERA.
Junis (6-12, 4.70) has gone winless in his last four starts, but he hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of them.
"It's been encouraging to have some consistent starts in a row," Junis told MLB.com. "I was slumping pretty hard, so to bounce back and have some strong ones since the All-Star break, it's encouraging to finish this season strong."
In his last start at Tampa Bay on Wednesday, Junis pitched 5 2/3 innings and gave up four runs, but only two were earned.
"It's not encouraging, (because) I've got a good feeling about Jake, so I don't need to be encouraged," Royals manager Ned Yost told FOX Sports Kansas City. "This is what I expect out of Jake. I expect him to go out and make starts like this. I expect him to execute pitches and have a good slider and keep us in the game."
Junis has faced the Tigers more than any other team in his two-year career and consistently given them fits. He is 5-1 in six starts with a 3.44 ERA.
The Royals have lost six of their last eight games.

Negative about Negative Gearing?
In recent times there's been much negativity about negative gearing. Is it here to stay? Experts say that there's no reason to feel negative about negative gearing as the industry regularly debates its future which always seems to ends where it starts. According to one property expert future changes to negative gearing is unlikely to result in any charges.
The Greens have proposed that negative gearing be scrapped with the increase in tax revenue to be reinvested in building affordable housing. Property expert Sam Saggers from Positive Real Estate believe that the plans add to a list of ideas that have never taken off.
"Ever since negative gearing was introduced people have been talking about things like this, this is nothing new compared to what we've been hearing for the last 20 years," Saggers said.
"I don't have a crystal ball, but I don't think the government is going to do anything at all to it."
The perception with negative gearing is that investors use it to avoid paying their fair share of tax, Mr. Sagger believe this isn't the case and it's not a huge benefit for every investor.
"The people who are getting the real benefit out of negative gearing are the investors who have five, six or seven or more properties and I think the ABS had statistics that there's only about 15,000 of them in Australia," he said.
"Most people own their own home and one investment property if they're lucky and negative gearing might save them $4,000 or $5,000 a year."
The Real Estate Institute of Queensland believes The Greens plan will turn investors off housing and result in housing stocks dwindling, something Saggers agrees with.

Brain on Fire is not a book about bipolar. Or at least, it it not directly about bipolar disorder. The book is actually about many things, but the main story line follows a young woman's descent into what at first appears to be severe mental illness. The woman's name is Susannah Cahalan and she raises questions in her memoir that will likely resonate with anyone who is mentally ill. Susannah actually suffer(ed) from a rare type of encephalitis or inflammation of brain tissues due to an immune reaction. This syndrome is called Anti-NMDA (N-methyl D-aspartate) receptor encephalitis and like many immune conditions, the cause is unknown. Many young women appear to fall ill in conjunction with an ovarian teratoma or tumor of the ovary. In other populations such as children, the cause is not known. According to the book, thousands of patients have been diagnosed with this particular syndrome and related syndromes are being discovered. Scientists believe that these syndromes are responsible for some cases of autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
In the course of Susannah's memoir she describes the course of her illness beginning with wild mood swings vacillating between crying jags and euphoria. She is initially diagnosed as bipolar. What comes next is nothing less than harrowing. Cahalan descends into paranoia so severe she is next suspected of being schizophrenic. The final stage of the illness is catatonia and in some cases, death. By the time Susannah was admitted to NYU she was already slipping into catatonia and showed significant cognitive impairment. Cahalan's illness progressed quickly, in a matter of eight weeks or so by my timing. However other patients are known to present differently, especially children. Syndromes such as Anti-NMDA Encephalitis may explain some treatment resistant forms of mental illnesses. It can be detected by testing the spinal fluid of the patient for white blood cells. An elevated count indicates inflammation of brain tissues.
Treatment involves cycling the blood out of the body and replacing the harmful immune laden plasma (white blood cells). Steroids are typically used to depress the immune system and a treatment called IVIG is sometimes used. IVIG is an infusion of plasma from over one thousand donors. All in all, Susannah Cahalan's one month stay at NYU and her treatments cost around one million dollars. Susannah got lucky: she had very good insurance and support systems in place. Individuals labeled with a mental illness are still quite marginalized and often find themselves with a weak support system and few financial resources. The doctors working to discover these syndromes point out that testing the spinal fluid of all mentally ill patients is cost preventative. How many are suffering needlessly?
Susannah Cahalan's memoir raises intriguing questions for those suffering from mental illness. Is it possible that many cases of bipolar, schizophrenia and other mental illnesses are caused by inflammation? Could less severe cases be due to chronic but less severe forms of encephalitis or other inflammatory conditions? If our mental illnesses are not caused by inflammation are we suffering from another form of brain damage? Are the "chemical imbalances" so often cited by physicians merely the result of an insidious attack on our brains? Do the medications we take merely remedy the symptoms of a damaged brain? I think it is too simplistic to expect that all folks who have a mental illness may be suffering from the same underlying cause. However, I do think it is possible that many or most folks suffering from bipolar may have related underlying causation such as inflammatory conditions. Anti-NDMA encephalitis is a brand new diagnosis, discovered only through one doctor's observations of unusual similarities in a group of "mentally ill" young women. In other words, in the past people with Anti-NDMA encephalitis would have been, without question relegated to an institution under the false belief they suffered from severe mental illness. I can't help but wonder if we too are just waiting for the discoveries and treatments that will illuminate the biological mechanisms responsible for our suffering.
The book is an unusual memoir because Susannah can't actually remember a great deal of the time during which her encephalitis raged. Footage from hospital cameras, brief diary entries and recollections of her family fill in the blanks. Instead of creating distance, Cahalan skillfully intersperses these fragments with her present day, haunted voice. Susannah is haunted by the time she lost and although she has a biological explanation for what happened to her, she still suffers the spiritual fragility of a person whose life went straight to hell. Many of the issues Cahalan still struggles with will resonate with the mentally ill. She fears a relapse. She wonders if she is still the same person, with the same capabilities. She also feels guilt that she survived and wonders how many people like her are locked away in institutions and nursing homes. Overall, Cahalan's story is an excellent echo of the experiences and concerns of mentally ill individuals.

I used to hate Scrabble. I'm not sure why...I just didn't like it. But we've played it twice with Cortney and Colby, and I really like it! It might be in part because Cortney and I won both games! We are unstoppable! My favorite of our words from the last game: Dirge, Quiche, and Lotus.
Friday night, Bech and I used some of our grass fed beef to make "little burgers." Add some swiss cheese, avocado, and hawaiian buns...so good!
Last night, we decided on a taco night, always one of my favorites. Tacos now remind us of Malawi, especially of dinners with Josh and Emily Ketchum.
Here is my creation: more grass fed beef, black beans, homemade guacamole, fresh tomatoes (remember this post), and mozzarella cheese...so good!
This last picture is pretty exciting: Bech has a "studio!" It's just in our garage out back, but he has a wheel and a bisque kiln. Yay!!!
So that's what we've been doing (more like eating) lately. Sorry if the food pictures are boring (MOM!) but we enjoy cooking!

Apple Tells App Developers to Disclose or Remove Screen Recording Code
Apple is telling app developers to remove or properly disclose their use of analytics code that allows them to record how a user interacts with their iPhone apps — or face removal from the app store, TechCrunch can confirm.
In an email, an Apple spokesperson said: "Protecting user privacy is paramount in the Apple ecosystem. Our App Store Review Guidelines require that apps request explicit user consent and provide a clear visual indication when recording, logging, or otherwise making a record of user activity."
"We have notified the developers that are in violation of these strict privacy terms and guidelines, and will take immediate action if necessary," the spokesperson added.
It follows an investigation by TechCrunch that revealed major companies, like Expedia, Hollister and Hotels.com, were using a third-party analytics tool to record every tap and swipe inside the app. We found that none of the apps we tested asked the user for permission, and none of the companies said in their privacy policies that they were recording a user's app activity.
Even though sensitive data is supposed to be masked, some data — like passport numbers and credit card numbers — was leaking.
Glassbox is a cross-platform analytics tool that specializes in session replay technology. It allows companies to integrate its screen recording technology into their apps to replay how a user interacts with the apps. Glassbox says it provides the technology, among many reasons, to help reduce app error rates. But the company "doesn't enforce its customers" to mention that they use Glassbox's screen recording tools in their privacy policies.
But Apple expressly forbids apps that covertly collect data without a user's permission.
TechCrunch began hearing on Thursday that app developers had already been notified that their apps had fallen afoul of Apple's rules. One app developer was told by Apple to remove code that recorded app activities, citing the company's app store guidelines.
"Your app uses analytics software to collect and send user or device data to a third party without the user's consent. Apps must request explicit user consent and provide a clear visual indication when recording, logging, or otherwise making a record of user activity," Apple said in the email.
Apple gave the developer less than a day to remove the code and resubmit their app or the app would be removed from the app store, the email said.
When asked if Glassbox was aware of the app store removals, a spokesperson for Glassbox said that "the communication with Apple is through our customers."
Glassbox is also available to Android app developers. Google did not immediately comment if it would also ban the screen recording code. Google Play also expressly prohibits apps from secretly collecting device usage. "Apps must not hide or cloak tracking behavior or attempt to mislead users about such functionality," the developer rules state. We'll update if and when we hear back.
It's the latest privacy debacle that has forced Apple to wade in to protect its customers after apps were caught misbehaving.
Last week, TechCrunch reported that Apple banned Facebook's "research" app that the social media giant paid teenagers to collect all of their data.
It followed another investigation by TechCrunch that revealed Facebook misused its Apple-issued enterprise developer certificate to build and provide apps for consumers outside Apple's App Store. Apple temporarily revoked Facebook's enterprise developer certificate, knocking all of the company's internal iOS apps offline for close to a day.

6 things to do in Queenstown - without breaking your budget
March 23, 2017
by Ellen Skoog
One of the coolest little towns I have ever come across is found in the South Island of New Zealand. Although this whole country is amazing, there is something special about Queenstown. The town is built around Lake Wakatipu and with its beautiful scenery, endless amount of activities and adventures and good nightlife this is definitely the perfect getaway for anyone from families to backpackers.
Since I first got here I have left a few times to go explore the rest of the country and I also had plans to move to the north island for summer but I have always found myself coming back and I know that is also the case for a lot of other people coming here. Most people just fall in love with this very special town. If you are planning on spending some time here during your travels to New Zealand, there is no way you will get bored in Queenstown! Having said that, this place is known to be a bit pricy, therefore I thought I would list my best tips for a fun few days in Queenstown without breaking your budget!
Queenstown Skyline Gondola
Just a few minutes walk from the heart of town is the Skyline Gondola that takes you up to Bob's Peak. Views from up here are UNBELIEVABLE. I remember when I first got here I had never seen anything like it before. The Gondola ride is $33NZD (may vary to season) and you will also want to get at least three rides on the famous Luge (you pay for everything together before you board the Gondola). The Luge is a little cart that you drive yourself down two different tracks up on the mountain. It is great fun and you can go as fast or as slow as you want. This is something me and my friends love to do on our days off. Both the Gondola and three rides on the Luge is around $50NZD but if you feel like saving some money there is actually a track so that you can walk all the way up to Bob's Peak, this takes about 45-60 minutes.
Frisbee golf
In the Queenstown Gardens, just beside the beach in town, there is a free Frisbee golf course. All you have to pay for is a Frisbee which you can rent from one of the travel shops like Peter Pan for only five dollars (or for free if you have booked something with them before). The course is 18 holes and me and my friends usually bring some beers with us and play mostly for fun and afterwards finish with some food and drinks on the beach. At the beach there is always heaps of people and the view (like everywhere in Queenstown) is amazing. On a sunny day you will also get to see a magical sunset over the mountains behind the lake.
Queenstown Hill
Another one for the views! And for the exercise. This track starts a little bit above town but there are signs all the way from the town centre. It takes approximately 1-2 hours to get up to the top and the hardest part is actually getting from town to the track since it is located on a pretty steep hill (You will notice there are a lot of steep hills in Queenstown). But once you have gotten to the start of track I find the hike to get a bit easier. At the top you will once again get amazing views, both over the city, the lake and the surrounding mountains. This is my perfect daily adventure since it gives you a bit of exercise as well as a fun day out!
Gibbston Valley Winery
Because who doesn't like a trip that involves wine and cheese? And New Zealand wines are really great. Gibbston Valley is only a 30 minute drive away from town, make sure you decide who is driving beforehand or arrange for a pick up, anyone who has ever gone wine tasting know that it is quite easy to get a bit tipsy. If you want to do this the absolute cheapest way you can drive to the winery yourself and buy a few tastings but if you are willing to spend a bit more money I have heard a lot of good things about the "bike, wine, dine" trips they arrange. You get to cycle around the winery and have wine and food tastings along the way. Price of $215NZD for two adults also includes transport to and from Queenstown.
Roy's Peak
This track is actually closer to Wanaka but it is still only a bit over an hour drive from Queenstown and since it is one of my favorite hikes, I had to add it to the list. Roy's Peak is one of the toughest hikes I have done but also one of the most rewarding with its amazing view. It takes your breath away! You can manage the track up and down from everything between three and seven hours depending on what shape you are in, it is mostly (okay only) uphill and taking a few short breaks on the way might be necessary but it is definitely do-able. There were a few ladies in their seventies who made it up without a problem when I was there last time. I would strongly recommend doing this in time for sunset, the colors surrounding the mountains around you at sunset are unreal, just make sure you bring warm clothes as it does get cold and windy 1600m above sea level.
Bob's Cove
Bob's Cove is another nice and free little daytrip only 14km from Queenstown. Once at the car park you follow a 20 min long track along the lake side until you come to a little jetty. This is a nice and easy walk if you by any chance get tired of climbing mountains (there are a lot of mountains and hills in New Zealand). This spot is perfect for a picnic, a swim and just to relax. The water is crystal clear and once again the view is amazing. A very nice place to bring along your friends for a day away from town!
That was a few of my tips for cheaper Activities in Queenstown, although if you are only here once I would recommend you to spend a bit of money on doing some of the pricier things as well. Queenstown is pretty much the adventure and activity capital of New Zealand and there is a few things you shouldn't miss out on like canyoning, the world's highest bungee jump, zip line, skydive, paragliding, rock climbing etc, there is so much to do here! And if you don't want to spend too much money on activities during the day there is a big chance of spending it all at night. In Queenstown basically every day is Saturday and clubs and bars are always busy and a lot of fun! No matter what you decide on doing during your stay in Queenstown I am sure you will have an awesome time.
See you in Queenstown!

Tracey & Sean - Wedding in Berkshire
Tracey & Sean's late summer wedding in Berkshire
I can't believe its been over a year since Tracey & Sean approached me to be their Berkshire wedding photographer.
My day started with the bride at her home in Basingstoke. I then made my way to St Mary's church, Aldermaston a small, intimate church just a stones throw from the reception.
With the church being so small, photography was only allowed from the back of the church during the ceremony. As a photographer this is often the case,
At The Old Mill Aldermaston the newly weds and guests mingled, whilst drinking bubbly by the river in the beautiful grounds . Luckily the rain held off to which i'm sure was welcomed by all.
(If you are considering a wedding in Berkshire or any where else in the UK then please get in touch to discuss your photography requirements)
As always here is a selection of my favourites stills from the day.

GROG- Hood Core CD review
This CD somewhat continues the Michigan-based, party punk, dirty punk rocker theme that was set forth by GROG's first release "Back in the Crack"; though the theme continues, the style is notably different, and a lot better. While "Back in the Crack" left me a bit disappointed, Hood Core certainly redeemed the band, amping up the energy and tossing aside the clean production for a grittier one with much better songs. Though the band calls their style of punk "Hood Core" (and I couldn't disagree), it's more clearly described as a dirtier, faster, heavier, but not quite hardcore version of the Dead Boys or Stiff Little Fingers. Though the production of working class asses with penchants for alcoholism, weed, and hooliganism, this is a good record that has a lot of fun packed inside. Not required listening, but I can certainly recommend it.

Every single year my students complain about procrastination as one of the top issues. And every single year I get dozens of students begging me with truly creative reasoning for extensions on their assignments.
No good paper was ever written the day an assignment was due. A+ papers aren't written the night before during an all-nighter as you're buzzed from Red Bull and Timbits. Believe me, I've read those papers. And I've also been that student starting a paper at 11pm when it's due the next day.
Eventually you have to reach a point in your life where procrastination doesn't work for you anymore. Maybe it's just getting too embarrassing to keep having to ask for extensions. Maybe you're tired of staying up all night to make the deadline. Maybe you can't handle the stress anymore of waiting until the last-minute to start your papers. Or maybe, you're tired of receiving crappy grades on projects that you put minimal effort into and you basically didn't learn anything.
Handing in late papers seems to be a rite-of-passage for undergraduate (and graduate!) students. I've been there, I was a procrastinator also. And eventually I had to stop. I remember the exact night I was staying up all night (again!) working on a sociology paper silently cursing myself for doing this yet again. I was stressed, in tears, completely anxious, and I didn't have a clue what I was writing about. I started at the last-minute and tried writing a phenomenal paper, and as the hours ticked by, I began lowering my expectations of the grade "Oh, this is going to be an A paper for SURE…..OK, I'd be happy with a 76%…..oh, whatever as long as I get at least a 60% I'll be fine…..shit….I hope I pass. God, this is awful, it's embarrassingly bad. I definitely failed."
See what I mean? Lowering your goals and expectations for success is never a good plan.
Maybe you're one of those people who always excelled under pressure and you were always able to write decent papers the night before. –This is delusional. Just because you were able to pull off some OK grades with little to no effort doesn't mean this is a solid career plan for you. Imagine what you could have written with adequate preparation? Imagine what grade you could have received if you started earlier? Imagine how stress-free the whole process would have been if you hadn't procrastinated?
I was so tired of the stress that I vowed to never procrastinate again. (I slipped up a few times after that, obviously! I'm human, but pretty much since my 3rd year I figured out how to organize my time better so that I started my assignments earlier).
It feels SO GOOD to start your projects early and finish them on time. I can't tell you the sense of accomplishment (and relief) that comes from being organized.
When you're organized you don't react to situations, you're proactive.
When you procrastinate you can bet on your printer failing you at 3am. You can bet that your PC freezes up on you. You can count on forgetting to save your work and having to start all over again. The worst case scenario will always happen to you when you're stressed and late and procrastinating.
I made this mistake as a new mother. I just expected to be able to do my work on certain days and when my daughter was sick or had a fever, my schedule went out the window and if I left my lecture to the last-minute I was stressed! It taught me to NEVER expect I'll have time tomorrow to do something that I should be finishing today.
Because printer problems, and toner problems and word document problems and USB problems don't bother an organized person. Sure, they're annoying, but these little blips do not destroy organized people, they don't ruin their days or cause anxiety, because there's TIME. There's time left over to fix these issue and still meet the deadline.
Organized people always leave room for the unexpected. Because that's just life, and something always comes up.

Jake Berent began reporting for Newschannel 3 in September of 2017. To say he's excited to be in Southwestern Michigan might be the understatement of the century.
Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Jake spent a few weeks every summer at his family's cottage on Saddle Lake just outside of Grand Junction. He remembers riding the pink ponies at the front of Meijer, trips to Cereal City and the Air Zoo, and the unbeatable taste of Sherman's Ice Cream! (His favorite flavors are cookie dough and rainbow sherbert!)
Jake earned his bachelor's degree in Communication and Media and his master's degree in Journalism from DePaul University in Chicago. Weeks after graduation, Jake got his start at WAGM in Presque Isle, Maine covering news and sports in Northern Maine and Western New Brunswick.
Jake is back in the "Mighty Midwest," as he likes to say, after spending the last two years in Huntsville, Ala. at WAFF-48. Some people think life moves a little slower in the South, but Jake begs to differ. While in Huntsville, Jake helped expose empty political promises from a Huntsville City Councilman facing re-election, grilled Senator Luther Strange over his suspicious appointment to the senate, and covered deadly tornadoes. His work has been broadcast and shared by local TV stations across the country and has also appeared on CNN.
A huge music fan, Bob Seger is Jake's favorite artist of all time. He also collects vinyl and can play a few tunes on the harmonica. When it comes to sports, Jake is probably the biggest White Sox fan you'll ever meet. He also loves Big Ten football. Since his alma mater hasn't had a football team since the 1920's, his allegiance is up for grabs!
Jake loves to tell stories and is always up for a good conversation, so be sure to say hi if you see him out and about!
You can also follow him on Twitter @JakeBerent and Facebook @JakeBerentTV or shoot him an email at email@example.com
