I first began freediving by snorkeling with a boyfriend as he spearfished. I borrowed one of his old masks and a snorkel and he bought me a pair of flippers that looked like something a duck might wear. In I went. I knew nothing about it but I learned to purge my snorkel and to relax and enjoy the freedom of being in the water. I really loved watching him hunt with a Hawaiian sling. We ate like kings.
I married the guy and we had three little spearfishers who learned to dive by following their dad and I around in the water. None of us were professionally trained, nor did I or my sons realize there were risks in the sport, as we had never heard of freediver blackout.
So when my oldest son Robert took his first class with Freediving Instructors International, and I took my class with Performance Freediving International, we were 20 year veterans of freediving and yet we knew next to nothing about the risks and absolutely nothing about safety. But all of that was about to change.
I learned there are inherent life-threatening risks in freediving and spearfishing that are often not on the radar screen of those new to the sport. In fact, everyone who engages in freediving and spearfishing who deviates from practicing safety guidelines is at risk. Studies of fatal and near-fatal aquatic breath-hold incidents reveal that no one is exempt. Freedivers of all ages, sex, and skill level have succumbed to the sport's main threat: freediver blackout, also known as shallow water blackout.
I also learned that I had not even begun to tap into my potential as a freediver. I was certain I would embarrass myself in front of the mostly male, much younger group of spearfishermen, and perform far below the class. But with proper coaching by Mandy-Rae Krack and Craig Gentry I discovered I could hold my breath for 5 minutes – longer than anyone else in the class! It was really sweet to share this news with Robert and hear him say, "You are the coolest mom ever!"
Robert learned his lung capacity was the largest ever measured at FII for a person of his body mass. He achieved the deepest dive in his class. He really enjoyed training with Martin Stepanek.
There are two freedive training agencies DiveWise endorses: Performance Freediving International (PFI) and Freediving Instructors International (FII). We also endorse those agencies who operate under the umbrella of PFI and FII.
Training agencies offer a variety of classes designed to address the individual's ability and what he or she seeks to achieve. Depending on which course you take, some of the things you may learn include:
Freediving Equipment – performing optimally with good equipment
Safety & Risk Management – learning to mitigate risks through safety practices
Proper Breathing – muscles involved, slowing your heart rate, proper exercises
Freedive Physiology – what happens to your body at depth
Aquatic Adaptations – dive reflexes, equalization, stressors and risks
The Physics – water pressure, buoyancy, partial pressure, and hydrodynamics
The Psychology – how to manage stress and anxiety
Training & Exercises – what freedive athletes need to know to be at their best
My son Robert and I really enjoyed the experience of taking an Intermediate freedive class, and came away with a wealth of knowledge that helped us both take our skills to the next level and learn how to do this safely.
Why not grab your favorite teenager and take a course with him or her? I promise you will learn a lot and that the experience will be unforgettable. And when you discover how to dive safely, you can influence the dive safety practices of your family and friends. Live to Dive Another Day!

Dear all, I believe that the FLD document does not specify completely the the combination of annotations with remote formulas. First, it is possible to write (* _xpto *) _a() @ _univ(1) @ _univ(2) According to the specification the annotation refers to the whole formula _a() @ _univ(1) @ _univ(2), but in section 4.2.2 this case is absent. So, I understand this as the annotation is referring to the inner _a(). Is this the intent? Furthermore, notice that it is also syntactically correct the fragment: (* _xpto1 *) (* _xpto2 *) (* _xpto3 *) _a() @ _univ(1) @ _univ(2) How is this handled, since <Remote> does not allow meta information? Should it be discarded? Moreover, notice that I have been using local names with "_" before, as specified by the grammar (this is not done in Example 4 of RIF-FLD). This is very unpleasant and unnecessary since the initial "_" can be removed without creating ambiguity in the Grammar. Otherwise, please correct Example 4 of RIF-FLD.

The Patient's Voice
Dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming not just for the person diagnosed, but for his or her family and friends as well. Attempting to keep loved ones updated while going through treatment and keeping up with the rigors of daily life can be incredibly exhausting for patients.
For a cancer survivor, it's enough to lay you flat. There's a day when you learn that someone who has been in your survivor universe is no longer a part of that universe. And this news not only shakes you to the core, it roils the pot of emotions resting on your internal stovetop to a vigorous boil.
As a 7-year breast cancer survivor, my primary feeling most of the time is awe and gratitude that I'm still here. I can savor life's small moments and big events, from sipping a piping hot tall dark roast to celebrating my dear friend's 50th by dancing my you-know-what off!
I am 60 years old and an ovarian cancer survivor. I'm also an emergency department doctor who usually is treating people, making diagnoses, and being the one in charge.
I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends: The Role of the Support Group in Breast Cancer Survivorship
"Wow, those meetings must be sober events." I've gotten this and other similar comments regularly over the past 6½ years since I received my diagnosis of stage III breast cancer in 2007. Fortunately for me and many other women, the assumption couldn't be less accurate.
I'd been meaning to wash my car for days, and was pleased to see I had just enough time to fit that little task in before sunset. Just as I'd finished and hopped into the driver's seat to move the car back into the garage, my cell phone rang.
I do not think my situation is unique. I live in a large city with horrendous healthcare. If you do not live in such a city, you may not believe that I live in the United States. I do. Most of you, I imagine, live in places—urban, suburban, or rural—similar to mine. Hopefully, because you have not been seriously ill, you do not know it.
If I had to grade my oncology nurses, I would give them, as a group, an A+. They have saved my life, cleaned my privates, kept me company, rejoiced with me when I was discharged, and consoled me with every wave or trickle of bad news I have faced during my care.
I spent 8 long months in a city far from my own, undergoing intense chemotherapy and then an autologous stem cell transplant. Eventually, after a longer-than-I-would-have-liked stay in the hospital and another few weeks living close to the hospital in case of emergency, I was sent back home with a bagful of medicines and instructions on how/when/with what to take them.

ROCHESTER - The MCC Athletics program, in conjunction with the college's Title IX office, took part in a two-day workshop through the One Love Foundation, an organization that works to ensure that everyone understands the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships.
One Love's mission is to end relationship abuse by educating young people about healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors and empowering them to be leaders driving change in their communities. The One Love Foundation was created in 2010 to honor the memory of Yeardley Love, a senior lacrosse player at the University of Virginia who was three weeks shy of her graduation when she was killed by her ex-boyfriend.
Monroe's student-athletes were part of a multi-layered education, awareness and movement-building campaign that surrounds young people with messages about healthy and unhealthy relationships in the classroom, the community and online. This all-encompassing approach is designed to shape the next generation's understanding of relationship abuse and shift community norms.
A handful of Monroe student-athletes were selected to take part in the Escalation Workshop, which is a film-based discussion that opens people's eyes to the warning signs of relationship abuse. The workshop consists of a film, Escalation, followed by a guided discussion led by a trained facilitator.
Those students then helped facilitate the workshop with the rest of MCC's athletes. The participants watched the film and engaged in a discussion about the film—led by trained facilitators—discussing the early warning signs of relationship abuse and what they can do if they witness or experience these warning signs.

Zanzibar's Coffee Adventure is a well-known and locally-owned coffee house on Ingersoll. Zanzibar's does three things well: It starts with good beans that are carefully roasted, it brews a wide variety of drinks, and it offers a great atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the brew.
First, and foremost, it roasts great coffee beans to perfection. Everything must start with good beans and perfect roasting. The beans are stored in the same burlap bags that they arrive in, with all sorts of exotic locatons stamped on the bag. I think that this is what puts the "adventure" in the name. Coffee cannot be great unless the beans are good beans. And good beans can be turned into bad coffee if the roasting is not done right. Janean has been roasting Zanzibar's beans as long as I can remember and she roasts them just right. After roasting, the beans are put into sealed plastic bins that are marked with the roasting date. If you make your own coffee drinks and you know what you are looking for, the staff can choose a fresh roast that fits your needs.
Do you want something that would be a strong morning Americano? They can get that. Do you want a mild espresso, or something that will punch through the milk in a latte? They can do that as well. Be sure to ask what they have on hand and do not be afraid to try some different beans. It is amazing how many different varieties they have on hand. And don't forget the house blend. Blending anything tends to get short shrift. But a good blend of beans can provide a complexity that cannot be found by sticking with just one type of bean and roast. So do not hesitate to give it a try. Good ingredients is where it starts. I should add that for Starbucks fanatics, I'd highly recommend a latte or espresso using their House blend to find out what an espresso is supposed to taste like. If you try this and you still want to drink that evil, burnt black swill they concoct at Starbucks, then, as Southerners say to those they think are idiots, "God bless you." And unlike Starbucks, you don't have to memorize secret passwords to order your coffee.
Second, Zanzibar's can brew a great coffee drink, which is helped greatly by the fact that they start with good beans and a good roast. At certain other coffee establishments they don't give you much, if any choice of the beans that go into a brew. Zanzibar's will allow you to choose the bean and roast, grind it for you on the spot, and make a brew that matches your desire.
Third, the characters that are found on both sides of the counter put the finishing touches on making Zanzibar's what it is. I think that Zanzibar is about as Bohemian as it gets in Des Moines in a beret and chess way. The staff is invariably helpful and freindly and some have been working there for years. The patrons mostly have that comfortable look that invites everyone else to slow down and enjoy the day. If you find an old freind while stopping in, there is no better place to just sit down to catch up on what is going on. There is no wi-fi and with a good cup of coffee you can enter into a coffee time-warp of sorts. Give it a try, and put some coffee adventure into your next outing.

Canada Trip
Hi everyone,
I am thinking of going to Canada next year with 3 of my friends, planning on flying to Vancouver and hiring a camper van and driving across to Toronto then fly home to London.
Unfortunately due to work we can only be away for 2 weeks maybe 2 and a half weeks a most. Will this be too rushed? to drive across pretty much the whole of Canada?
We're hopefully doing this in May 2013 is that an ideal time to go?
Thanks in advance

London, Ep. 28
August 16th, 2012 — Before a packed-to-the-gills, standing room only crowd, Literary Death Match — sponsored by Picador — returned to London for a dazzling night of whimsy and shenaniganism at Concrete, as the brilliant night concluded with Tupelo Hassman out-triathloning co-finalist Kerry Hudson by a score of 2-0, winning Hassman the Literary Death Match London crown!
But before the real Olympics went down, the night kicked off with Nicci Cloke (author of Someday Find Me) quietly thrilling the crowd with a sex-infused excerpt from her new novel. She was followed by the Hudson who dealt a graphic description of a Scottish birth, plucked straight from her wonderful debut: Tony Hogan Bought Me an Ice-cream Float Before He Stole My Ma.
The mic was then turned over to the trio of all-star judges including Granta's online editor and Costa Book Award judge Ted Hodgkinson, writer/musician Joe Stretch (author of Friction and Wildlife), and self-proclaimed "buffoon extraordinaire" Eric Lampaert. About Cloke, Hodgkinson praised her descriptions of decay, reminding him of barely-known Nabokov short story, while Stretch admitted judging performance was tough while only seeing Cloke's rear, but loved how she read with great poise, and didn't bother with silly voices even though there was a big cast of characters. For intangibles, Lampaert admitted he was distracted by the sound of a man washing his hands, then the use of the word "toast" brought him back in a snap.
About Hudson, Hodgkinson was certain Irvine Welsh would be best suited as the baby's midwife, while Stretch said the story had so much to offer, just like mayor Boris johnson. For intangibles, Lampaert said he deliberately didn't listen to it to be fair to Cloke, but couldn't help himself, and proclaimed it "brilliant!"
The judges then huddled and after a painful deliberation, it was Hudson who was advanced to the finals.
After a mini-intermission, Round 2 started with and award-winning poet Harry Man pitch-perfectly performing two poems, one about a half-man/half-machine Called Dave now "ex-Dave" and a second about the incredible story of Earth's evolution via social networks (where earth and gravity are now friends). With the crowd clearly on Man's side, next up was the endlessly poised Hassman (author of Girlchild), who reeled off a quiet and powerful excerpt from her novel about genetics and class opening with a vivid description of a trailer park.
Again the mic went to the judges, with Hodgkinson lauding Man's amazing energy and said listening to man was like "a bored Philip Larkin playing with a Buzz Lightyear." Stretch said Man was a hilarious and great talent, but it was his note of humility that made Stretch love it/him most. Then Lampaert responded by saying, "Are you writing my brain? Area 51! Spaghetti!" And loved the use of a Stegosaurus, which he termed "a good choice of dinosaur." About Hassman, Hodgkinson applauded her amazing sense of place, and said he wanted to pin lines up on his wall later, while Stretch loved her "incredible performance." Lampaert said she won the name competition, and was way impressed by the way she was fearless while following a brilliant Harry Man.
Again, the judges were faced with an impossible decision, but it was Hassman that they advanced as the night's second finalist.
Then LDM creator Adrian Todd Zuniga, assisted by LDM London executive producer Suzanne Azzopardi, who presented a finale of Olympic proportion — a literary triathlon to be exact. For starters, Hudson and Hassman performed a book shotput that put Hudson in the lead, but Hassman and Randon Audience Member outperformed Team Hudson in a Synchronized Reading event (in which they both were forced to synchronizedly act out a scene from Miranda July's short story "This Person"). Finally, it came down to literary archery, in which they both had two shots to "kiss" 1932 Olympic literary gold medalist Paul Bauer with a lipstick-tipped arrow. In the end, Hassman came closer to the center, winning the Literary Death Match London crown, and literary immortality to go with it!

Local jurisdictions find they can't opt out of federal immigration enforcement program
Thursday, September 30, 2010; 10:59 PM
The Obama administration is making it virtually impossible for Arlington County, the District and other jurisdictions to refuse to participate in a controversial immigration enforcement program that uses fingerprints gathered by local law enforcement agencies to identify illegal immigrants.
Participation in the program, called Secure Communities, was widely believed to be voluntary - a perception reinforced by a Sept 7 letter sent to Congress by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. This week, Arlington joined the District, San Francisco and Santa Clara County, Calif., in voting to opt out of the program.
But the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency now says that opting out of the program is not a realistic possibility - and never was.
Secure Communities, which operates in 32 states and will soon be running nationwide, relies on the fingerprints collected by local authorities when a person is charged with anything from a traffic violation to murder. The fingerprints are sent to state police, and then to the FBI, for criminal background checks.
Under the two-year-old program, ICE is able to access the information sent to the FBI. If the fingerprint matches that of someone known to be in the country illegally, ICE orders the immigrant detained as a first step toward deportation.
Tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants have been removed from the United States under the program, which the administration has made a centerpiece of its effort to focus immigration enforcement on criminals. But those deportees include many thousands who have committed minor offenses or no crimes at all, which has made the program a source of increasing concern to immigrant rights groups.
A senior ICE official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about the involuntary nature of the program, said: "Secure Communities is not based on state or local cooperation in federal law enforcement. The program's foundation is information sharing between FBI and ICE. State and local law enforcement agencies are going to continue to fingerprint people and those fingerprints are forwarded to FBI for criminal checks. ICE will take immigration action appropriately."
The only way a local jurisdiction could opt out of the program is if a state refused to send fingerprints to the FBI. Since police and prosecutors need to know the criminal histories of people they arrest, it is not realistic for states to withhold fingerprints from the FBI - which means it is impossible to withhold them from ICE.
The revelation that the program is not really optional stunned Arlington County Board member J. Walter Tejada (D), who spearheaded a months-long effort to evaluate Secure Communities with residents, lawyers and county officials. "It is most frustrating," he said. "Communities were researching this. Attorneys looked at it pro bono. All of that could have been avoided. People spent all summer thinking about this."
Tejada pointed to Napolitano's recent letter to Congress, in which she wrote, "A local law enforcement agency that does not wish to participate in the Secure Communities deployment plan must formally notify the Assistant Director for the Secure Communities program, David Venturella." In a briefing paper, ICE also said that if a city or county did not want to participate, the agency was amenable to "removing the jurisdiction from the deployment plan."
The senior ICE official said local authorities could opt out of learning the specific reason why immigration authorities wanted someone detained. But they would still have to detain the individual.
"If what you say is true, it is extremely disappointing because it means the District of Columbia now has a blurred rather than a bright line between what the Metropolitan Police Department is doing and what immigration officers are doing," said D.C. Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1), who recently voted with the rest of the council to opt out of the program. "We had a bright line, and that has increased trust and confidence in our police among immigrant communities. That will now vanish."

We've had this long run of gorgeous weather lately and our family has practically lived outside.
During the winter and spring, I saved this huge list of inexpensive ideas for things to do during the summer… and we've managed to blow through most of them.
A few days ago, I spent a bunch of time finding items to add to that list. Here are some of the best resources I found during that search.
100 Ideas for Free and Frugal Summer Fun A great list from top to bottom. (@ the better mom)
12 Frugal Ideas for Summer Fun with the Family The minor league baseball idea is a great one. Tickets to the local AAA team can be found for $2 if you ask around and if you avoid the concessions, it's a great excursion for the family. (@ frugal habits)

Those of us who treat Daniel's 70th week as consecutive (ie. not separated from the 69 preceding weeks), are sometimes asked, "well, when was it?" Here is the short answer:
first day of seventieth week – 1st Nisan (27th March) AD 27
last day of seventieth week – 29th Adar (8th March) AD 34
Here are the dates in diagrammatic form, showing key chronological markers. I'll get back soon to expand on this. We can discuss the significance of the last half of the 'week' too if you like.

The Bullet For My Valentine and Cancer Bats supergroup have announced six shows
AxeWound, the supergroup featuring Bullet For My Valentine frontman Matt Tuck and Cancer Bats singer Liam Cormier, have announced a full UK tour for October.
The group, which also features former Rise To Remain bassist Joe Copcutt, Pitchshifter drummer Jason Bowld and Glamour Of The Kill's Mike Kingswood in its line-up, will play six shows in October.
The spate of gigs kicks off on October 1 at Nottingham Rescue Rooms and ends at Bristol Thekla on October 7. The run also includes dates in Glasgow, Manchester, Wolverhampton and London.
Tuck has previously said that AxeWound would be "metal as fuck" and compared their music to Slipknot and Pantera.
Speaking previously about the band, Tuck said: "It's far more like Slipknot or Pantera. It's metal as fuck, it's stepping away from the melodic, not giving a fuck. Because obviously Bullet For My Valentine is a business and we have our formula, and what we do works so we won't stray from that."
He continued: "It's nice to step out of that comfort zone and do something fucking ridiculous and not worry about what people are going to think, because it doesn't exist yet. We wanted to go in there with kind of like a Slipknot attitude of just everything. Like the 'Iowa' album — just fucking violent. Let it all out. No holds barred."
The band are touring in support of their debut album 'Vultures', which is due out later this year. They have previously posted their first track 'Post Apocalyptic Party' online and are giving it away as a free download from their official website, Axewounduk.tumblr.com. You can also hear the track by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking.
AxeWound will play:
Nottingham Rescue Rooms (October 1)
Glasgow King Tut's Wah Wah Hut (2)
Manchester Academy 3 (3)
Wolverhampton Slade Rooms (4)
London Underworld (6)
Bristol Thekla (7)

Libor funds awarded to support Gurkha veterans
Libor funds awarded to support Gurkha veterans
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has awarded £553,946 to SSAFA from Libor banking fines to support coordinated welfare support for Gurkha veterans and families in local communities across the UK from April 2017.
Sign up for our email newsletter to get our latest news in your inbox
For 131 years, SSAFA has provided vital welfare support to the Armed Forces family in local communities. Our nationwide network of trained casework volunteers is the biggest in the UK, consisting of 4,000 volunteers in SSAFA branches in every local county.
According to the Gurkha Welfare Trust, there are an estimated 12,794 retired Gurkha's settled in the UK with their families. Our experience shows that Gurkha veterans have complicated needs, including many who are elderly and infirm with low literacy levels.
Embedded within our volunteer casework service, this project will employ a dedicated project manager to coordinate support for Gurkha veterans more effectively. It will use innovative methods to reach the Gurkha community, train casework volunteers and share best practice.
Improved support will relieve unnecessary hardship, poverty and suffering, reduce isolation, increase well-being amongst Gurkha veterans and families in the UK.
The project will run for a three year period from 2017.
Making a difference to the lives of Gurkha veterans
Tegan Jones, Director of Fundraising at SSAFA, said:
"This support from the Libor Fund was gratefully received by SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity and will allow us to provide personal support and social work service support to a unique population of Gurkha soldiers and their families, whose first language is Nepali.
"The charity helps some 60,000 members of the Armed Forces community each year and would not be able to be there for our beneficiaries without support from awards such as the Libor Funds."
About Libor Funds
The Government has committed £102 million from banking fines over the next 4 years to support Armed Forces and Emergency Services charities and other related good causes.

It has been the best trip we have been, completely stress free from the time we arrived everything was all there and waiting. You did a amazing job. Thanks again for Everything ...
... The best part of the trip was living in the Jungle: that was amazing, even without electricity. Activities were different every day; not once did we get bored and food was amazing.
We also have the best guide ever - Johnny was his name. He would spend time with our daughter (11) to pick out little frogs and stuff along our hikes. He was also super considerate of her as well - made her feel like she was just like the rest of us in the group."

10 Guests Who Can Teach You Music
People with musical abilities are surely the best kind of Guest you could ask for. Not only can they show you how to strum a guitar but they can liven up the dullest of social events and bring people together with their creative talents and tuneful melodies. Put the fun back into your music learning by hosting one of these guys on your next cambio. In return for your hospitality (meals and a bed to sleep in) they'll spend time with you helping develop your musical skills.
Canadian Guest Sebastien plays both drums and guitar and works as a sound guy at the cinema while also teaching sound at a professional private school. He's been recording music since the age of 12 and has skills in boom operation, sound mixing and sound editing. Cambio with Sebastien and record your next big hit!
Blanca is a pianist from Spain who'd love to help you improve your piano playing. Host her in your home and introduce her to your local cuisine – she loves to try new dishes when she travels. She'd also love to help you out with her native language Spanish.
Simon is a native English speaker from the UK and also speaks a smattering of Italian and French. He freelances as a project consultant but he'd love to come and visit you and help you improve your English or teach you some guitar and ukulele. Simon's mission is to enjoy life, so why not invite him to do so in your hometown?
Biru has already been on a successful cambio in the UK where he helped a Yorkshire family to produce their own podcast. He's a sound engineer originally from the US and he has a passion for teaching and travelling.
Giacomo is a drum teacher from Italy who in his words is honest, funny, friendly, tidy and respectful. In other words, he's the ideal cambio Guest! In addition to possessing all the qualities you'd want someone staying in your home to display, he's also a yoga teacher. How can you say no to someone with a resume like that?
Diego is a multi-skilled traveller from Paraguay who speaks both Spanish and English. He works part time as a TEFL teacher and also happens to be an opera singer.
Student Elena is a singer-songwriter from Spain who wants to cambio in Germany, Italy, Portugal, Sweden or the UK. She can share her language skills in Spanish or Catalan, improve your Spanish cooking, or work with you on your guitar and singing.
Mike is a fun and entertaining traveller with skills in Italian and Spanish. Have a blast cooking some Mexican dishes with him and learning how to play guitar.
Oscar is a musician and music teacher from Spain with a Bachelor's Degree in Music from the Conservatory of Music Manuel Castillo in Seville. Second only to his passion for music is his love for travelling. Host Oscar to get some professional tuition in singing and piano.
Margaret and her musical international family from Wexford in Ireland would love to swap their abundance of skills in French, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, German, cooking and music for some meals and a place to stay anywhere in the world.
If you're in need of a little song and dance, professional music tuition, some funky additions to your current travel playlist or just want to meet someone creative who loves to travel, then look no further – get in touch with one of these talented Guests or search for more with musical skills.

Scott Bess is getting used to living in two worlds.
As a young math teacher, Bess chafed against perceived rigidity in the public schools and left for a career in computers. But within a few years, he was creeping back into education, volunteering for his local PTO, coaching basketball and, eventually, landing a seat on the Danville school board.
Now Bess is straddling another divide: the increasingly contentious chasm between traditional public schools and privately operated charters.
Bess, still on the school board in Danville, also is superintendent of Indianapolis Metropolitan High, a charter IBJ is following this spring as it implements a school-wide overhaul.
His rare dual role leading both charter and community schools and his broad work experience—public and private, kids and computers—gives Bess an unusual perspective on the education-reform debate now roiling the Indiana Statehouse. (See story, page 1)
Bess' experience also landed him on a 13-member panel tapped by the Indiana Department of Education to craft new accountability rules that will shape the future of all public schools—charters and traditional districts alike.
"People talk about the tension between charter schools and traditional schools, and the amazing thing about being in this situation has been to really take the best of both," Bess said after rushing from Indy Met to a Danville Community Schools Corp. board meeting in mid-February.
Bess, 49, describes himself as "apolitical" on education issues—but his sympathies clearly lie with education reformers. He praises Democrats like U.S. school chief Arne Duncan and former D.C. schools chancellor Michelle Rhee, as well as Republican Tony Bennett, Indiana's controversial superintendent of public instruction.
"I've really admired the way he's gone about it, saying, 'Look, we don't have time to sit around and debate and talk. Let's go do,'" Bess said of Bennett.
Bess is no firebrand himself. He speaks calmly, even blandly—in contrast to the sharp rhetoric of Rhee and Bennett. Instead, Bess tries to reason with and at times even joke with his listeners to make his points.
But Bess is a man of action. And under his watch Indy Met has developed the same kind of get-it-done culture.
The Purdue University grad sends work e-mails from his Droid phone while watching a Boilermakers basketball game. And he expects his staff to do much the same. Indy Met teachers work 10-hour days and carry smart phones to answer student questions on nights and weekends.
Bess puts in equally long days, and says he "tries" to leave one weekend day free of work. On Sunday mornings, he plays the drums at his church, Northview Christian in Danville, but by that evening, he's back to his e-mail.
"If you want a job where, 'I'm in and I'm out,' this probably isn't the place for you," Bess said.
He and Indy Met Principal Carlotta Cooprider say they try to keep turnover under control by making the time demands very clear in job interviews. But some former employees of the school said burnout among teachers was common.
Family man
Despite his work ethic, Bess is always willing to take off early when one of his four kids is competing in a sporting event. He and his wife, Robin, even drove to Wisconsin this month to watch son Cory in a college track meet.
Gary Caldwell, who worked with Bess at the electric utility Cinergy Corp. in the 1990s, recalls many days when Bess would drive to Cincinnati for meetings at the corporate office, drive back to Indiana to catch his daughters' basketball games, and then head back to Ohio for more meetings.
"I really admired him for how he juggled everything," said Caldwell, now chief information officer at Herff Jones Inc. in Indianapolis.
Bess also coached his three daughters through basketball, beginning in grade school and continuing as the assistant coach when they were at Danville High. He would drive from his office to the school, gradually changing clothes at stoplights along the way, and hardly ever missed a practice, recalled Steve Johnson, the former head coach.
Bess handled stats and conditioning for Johnson—and he didn't mind when Johnson pushed his daughters to perform. Once at a summer camp when Bess' daughter Kelsey, then a freshman, didn't hustle, Johnson let her have it.
"I got on her right from the get go, and she was crying. I said, 'You're going to learn, there's no dogging it,'" Johnson recalled. "And Scott was all for that. He didn't care about me getting on his kids at all."
Kelsey Bess went on to be the captain of the basketball team at St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Ind. Her senior year, Scott Bess made it to all her games.
Bess also pushed the teams he managed at Cinergy, now called Duke Energy.
He led the sweeping implementation of a new company-wide software system, which normally would have required 18 months, Caldwell said. But Bess—packaging his plans under the tagline "This is Not Your Father's IT"—instructed his team to do it in half that time.
"Initially, everybody thought he was crazy," Caldwell said. "At the same time, it was something that you

Firey dodge-'em-up Primal Flame will sputter to life on the App Store at midnight tonight.
A gesture-based twitch game from developer Irrelevant Fish, Primal Flame is the digital embodiment of everything your mother told you not to do.
You see, this is a game about playing with matches.
To start, you strike your match by swiping the touchscreen. Once the match is lit, it's up to you to keep the flame burning.
This isn't as easy as it sounds, however. You'll have to avoid raindrops, snowflakes, and falling leaves, all of which will extinguish your flame in a moment if they make contact.
What's more, sentient plants will snake towards the light, ready to snuff out the flame-retardant in their ash-hungry jaws.
You'll be able to download Primal Flame from the App Store at midnight tonight. It'll cost you £1.99 / $2.99.

- Injectors - I'm probably going to put these on the Jeep to see if the more modern injectors give me better economy.
- Throttlebody - Possibly, maybe, unlike but it may end up on the Jeep. I think it's a bit bigger than stock so less restriction at WOT.
- Fuel Tank - This is going in the Rodeo which will mean that I can drive nearly 1000km without having to refil.

Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, meet Craftoberfest
This fall a pair of Waterloo Region beer aficionados is looking to put local suds in your stein
Imbibe owner Bill McTavish and Kitchener-Waterloo Craft Beer Club founder Ryan Ward say they're looking to take the lager into their own hands with local alternatives to the Molson-dominated festhallen. The two say there's a lack of local options on tap at official Oktoberfest venues.
"The Oktoberfest scene right now is basically just Molson products," Ward told The Morning Edition on Friday. "With so many new craft breweries opening up, it would be nice to have an alternative for people who are into craft beers and to get people to try craft beers."
Ward said Craftoberfest will take a page from the original Oktoberfest celebration in Germany, which is a celebration of the local harvest.
"That's why we're trying to get all the local breweries to come up with German-style, Oktoberfest-inspired beers for the upcoming event," he said.
Craftoberfest not sanctioned by KW Oktoberfest
Craftoberfest will run concurrently with Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest from September 27 to October 17.
However, McTavish says the event is in no way affiliated with the official festival.
"They understand what we're doing," he said. "We can't be sanctioned by them because of some of their restrictions, but they're certainly not opposed to what we're doing."
Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest has a longstanding partnership with Molson Canadian, which has sponsored the festival for more than three decades and allows Molson to hold the exclusive rights to serve at Oktoberfest festival halls across Waterloo Region.
Molson monopoly a 'missed opportunity'
With an ever-growing number of craft breweries already operating or just starting up in Waterloo Region, Ward sees Molson's monopoly on official venues as a missed opportunity not only for local brewers, but beer drinkers as well.
"Just in the last year alone in Kitchener-Waterloo we've had two breweries that have opened, which is Block Three and Innocente," he said, adding two more breweries are set to open their doors in the region soon.
"For a region that's going to have so much craft beer, it's a shame they can't sell their beer during Oktoberfest."
McTavish, who regularly keeps a rotation of locally-sourced craft beer on tap at his downtown restaurant Imbibe, agrees.
"Oktoberfest brings a million people to our region and it just feels appropriate that we should be showcasing what this area is producing," he said.
So far the only two establishments looking to partake in Carftoberfest are Imbibe Food and Drink and The Boathouse, which are both operated by McTavish, but he said he's had inquiries.
"There's been a lot of interest for sure, a lot of phone calls, a lot of emails and tweetbacks."

Reviewing Transactions in PaymentNet
Reviewing Transactions in PaymentNet It is critical to develop strong internal controls, specific to department needs for reconciling ProCard transactions.
Departments must ensure that every transaction is subject to a documented, independent review by someone other than the cardholder. In addition, it is strongly recommended that documentation of the review is completed within 30 days of the monthly cycle end date.
PaymentNet is a JPMC transaction review system used by cardholders and reviewers to ensure that the charges are valid, and that proper account codes and budgets are assigned to each transaction. Departments must designate individuals who are responsible for reviewing the transactions. Usually, the reviewer is the fiscal expert for the department and is assigned the responsibility for appropriate account code assignment.
IMPORTANT: An online PaymentNet review (i.e., checking the Cardholder & Reviewer boxes) alone does not fulfill separation of duty functions.
While printing and signing the PaymentNet monthly UW Transaction Detail with Notes & Accounting Codes report is the preferred method for performing and documenting this review, there may be other acceptable methods provided they include:
- Review by someone other than cardholder
- Documentation of the review
- Use of source documents in comparison to PaymentNet information
- Compliance with UW documentation records retention policy.
Departments must have at least one individual review the online transactions in PaymentNet. While it is not necessary to have both cardholder and reviewer to go online to review the transactions in PaymentNet, it is a recommended best practice whenever possible. Only one of the online Cardholder or Reviewer boxes needs to be checked.
When only one individual reviews the transactions online, the second individual should review transactions with a hardcopy of the monthly statement along with department records that detail the specifics of the purchases, such as UW Transaction Detail with Notes & Accounting Codes Report, proof of cost (i.e., receipts, invoices, etc.) and proof of receipt.
Online Review Process With original source documentation, the cardholder or reviewer must review the cardholder's transactions at PaymentNet and:
- Validate that the purchase was received at the agreed upon price Revised
- Enter a detailed description of the purchase and business purpose in the Transaction Notes box
- Ensure correct budget and object code allocation
- Check the appropriate "Cardholder" or "Reviewer" box
The purchase cycle for each transaction is closed when it is determined that the correct amount was charged and the item was received in acceptable condition.
Do not check off the review boxes until the purchase cycle is closed:
- Do not check the cardholder or reviewer box if a dispute has been initiated with the vendor or online with PaymentNet's dispute process.
- Do not check off the cardholder or reviewer box if the transaction is being reviewed by JP Morgan's Fraud Department.
Documentation of the Review
Complete your documentation of the independent review of the card transactions within 30 days of the end of the monthly billing cycle and store it in a central location within your department files. For example:
- Either the cardholder or a reviewer runs the UW Transaction Detail with Notes & Account Codes Report, matching the account cycle for the monthly statement.
- Demonstrate separation of duty and approval of transactions by having the cardholder and reviewer sign the UW Transaction Detail with Notes & Account Codes Report.
UW Transaction Detail with Notes & Account Codes Report
The UW ProCurement Card Advisory Board developed a report designed for efficient MyFD/BAR reconciliation. This report is called the UW Transaction Detail with Notes & Account Codes Report. To run the report, login to PaymentNet and:
- Click on the Reports tab.
- Select Create.
- From the Report Type drop-down, select Transaction.
- Use the Page forward chevrons to go to the last page and scroll down until you see the UW Transaction Detail with Notes & Account Codes Report.
- Click on the report name link.
- Leave the output as PDF.
- Change the Criteria to Field: Post Date and Operation: Cycle Is and select Value: for the appropriate Billing cycle.
- Click the Process Report button.
- Once the report status is Successful, click on the UW Transaction Detail with Notes & Account Codes.pdf name to open, view and print the report for review and signature.
This report lists the purchases for each budget in order of object codes. It also shows the cardholder name, transaction date, merchant name, location, amount and any transaction notes included.
$75 Receipt Waiver
IMPORTANT: You should make every effort to obtain invoices and receipts for your expenditures. If it appears as if the vendor is not going to provide an invoice or receipt at the time of purchase, be sure to ask for one.
Purchase receipts and supporting documentation (i.e., proof of receipt of goods, business purpose, itemized list of what was purchased and pricing information) are required for all transactions over $75. Visit the Award Documentation Guidelines page.
The Office of Financial Management (OFM) has approved a receipt requirements waiver for purchases up to $75, which has been reviewed and approved by UW Internal Audit. To read more about this policy and the UW Receipt Policy, click the link below.
UW Receipt Policy
Express Mail Object Codes
Express mail shipments using freight carriers such as UPS and FedEx are exempt from Sales/Use Tax.
Use 03-24 object coding on express mail transactions prevents Use Tax (WA State sales tax collected by purchaser) from being charged. If your department is using FedEx/UPS on a regular basis, departments may request an Xmail ProCard Ghost account. These types of accounts are set up with a defaulted object code of 03-24.
If you use your individual ProCard account, make sure to reconcile your transactions to the correct object code before the ProCard payment deadline.

WVU Healthcare ranks among nation's Most Wired hospitals
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – For the first time, WVU Healthcare has been named to the Most Wired list of hospitals and health systems in the United States. With this designation, WVU Healthcare joins a select group of providers using the most advanced information technology available to deliver excellent care.
The lists are based on level of achievement in four focus areas: clinical quality and safety, care continuum, infrastructure and business and administrative management. Hospitals and health systems participate in the survey on a voluntary basis.
"In addition to other criteria, WVU Healthcare demonstrated ways we are moving our use of technology ahead," Rich King, WVUH vice president and chief information officer, said. "Medications are now ordered electronically, allowing unprecedented speed and accuracy. We're protecting information through the use of encryption. If our computer systems experience an outage, data can be restored quickly."
"Most Wired hospitals far outpace other facilities in these areas. It all comes down to doing everything in our power to improve the health and protect the personal information of our patients," King continued.
In recent years, WVU Healthcare has steadily implemented information systems designed to improve patient outcomes through greater accuracy, accessibility and security. The introductions of Merlin, the electronic medical records project, and MyWVUChart, the online portal that allows patients to view their own medical records, have proven to be major advances in patient safety and quality of care. More than 12,000 patients now access MyWVUChart, and the Merlin system links WVU Healthcare's many clinics.
"Merlin has made a tremendous impact on quality and patient safety," Niti Armistead, M.D., WVU Healthcare associate chief medical officer and chief quality officer, said. "Clinicians system-wide now have patients' complete and up-to-date medical histories and medication information readily available to them. This enables care providers to make better decisions for patients."
Approximately 1,388 hospitals are represented in the 530 surveys submitted for the 2011 Most Wired Survey. Now in its 13th year, the survey rates the Most Wired, Most Wired – Small and Rural, Most Wireless and Most Improved. As new technology has been integrated into daily clinical use, WVU Healthcare had previously been recognized as one of the country's Most Improved centers for the past two years. The results of the annual survey were released this week in the July issue of "Hospitals and Health Networks," the journal of the American Hospital Association.

Sephora Sheet Masks9.5.16
Hey babes! A while ago I bought these Sephora Sheet Masks and I've finally tested both out!
The first one I tried is this Nourishing & Balancing Honey Mask, it made my skin very soft and really gave me that extra boost of moisture I needed. My skin was feeling irritated and dehydrated and this really helped me out.
You leave these on for 15 minutes and then you can massage what is left into your skin. It's very easy to massage in but it feels kind of tacky for a while. I don't use any other skincare products after this until it's completely dry and my skin feels soft. Afterwards I just skip toning and moisturize. I feel like my skin wasn't as greasy as it usually is after using these sheet masks.
Everyone that saw me wearing these masks thought these looked ridiculous and I felt kind of weird as well sitting around, looking like a serial killer haha!
I don't think I'll buy many more sheet masks because I prefer to use a tube that I can use multiple times instead of buying just one mask. But maybe I'll buy some every once in awhile to treat myself!
Thanks for reading!
xoxo Christine

Make of this what you will.
Late last week, a few days before the Save Our Schools March in Washington D.C., organized to protest the Obama administration's standardized test-centric school reform policies, an invitation to several of the march leaders materialized from the White House.
After many months of planning the march, after letters were sent to President Obama asking him to reconsider policies that blamed teachers for things they were not responsible, after pleas to U.S. officials to listen to critics, a message was sent saying that a handful of march leaders could come to the White House last Friday to meet with Roberto J. Rodríguez, special assistant to Obama for education.
March organizers, who were busy on Friday, said that it was not a good time but that they would be available when the rally and march was over. I imagine it won't surprise you that nobody in the White House was available to meet after the march. According to a White House spokesman, "we weren't able to make the schedules work" after the rally.
Of course, White House officials found time to make their schedules work to meet with a host of corporate leaders for an education roundtable that was conspicuously missing people on the front lines of education: teachers and principals. (You can see a list of some of the invitees here.). It would be a safe bet that the people invited to that roundtable were given more than a day or two notice to show up at the White House for the meeting.
The timing of the invitation, and then the lack of a second one, begs the questions of what the White House had hoped to accomplish if there had been a meeting last Friday. Last summer, administration officials tried to blunt an effort by a coalition of civil rights groups that was releasing a framework for education reform that skewered Obama's education policies.
(Education Secretary Arne Duncan on Wednesday had met with a few march participants who were invited into the department after they protested outside the building.)
By not finding a mutually agreeable time to meet with critics, White House officials betray their arrogance of certainty.
The question is when it will occur to them that their corporate-style education policies — the ones that have no basis in research, that ignore root causes for lack of student achievement and that are privatizing important areas of the public education system — are not working and that are in fact likely to do significant harm.

Words for Snow
May 11, 2011
According to our favourite guide for writing wrong's, "Google", it now suggests that it is but a myth that Inuits or Eskimos as they are more commonly referred to, have an unusually large number of words for snow. I am therefore suggesting that those responsible for the largest number of words for snow may now, quite possibly be Ski Bums.
Think about it. How many ways can you describe a type of snow…….. Mash Potatoes, Cold Smoke, Wind Buff, Boiler Plate, Hot Pow, Cold Pow, Corn, Slush the list goes on. I can guarantee to you that the mere mention of anyone of these words can whip your regular society drop out, ski bum into abnormal amounts of conversational activity, before the actual thought of sliding on this wonderful stuff causes them to form a somewhat glazed over look and they become withdrawn and quiet.
Just like surfers and the endless thought of the next barrel, skiers and snowboarders only breath because there is the possibility of another epic powder day. We congregate in lift lines before they open, sleep in campers with our snow machines ready to run and wait in carparks in the middle of nowhere waiting for the heli to come and pick us up. We scrape by for the entire winter on leftover food, unshowered, unshaved and living in near poverty because the powder needle has been injected. Unlike smack heads though our habit is healthy and we work our arses off all summer to be able to live in poverty for yet another winter.
So next time you hear someone say 'Eskimos have the most words for snow' laugh it off, knowing full well, as a dedicated ski bum that you are in fact among the leaders of the 'words for snow' pack.

Electronic Waste (WEEE Waste)
Some waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is classified as hazardous waste. This includes WEEE that contains hazardous components or substances such as:
• Polychlorinated biphenyls, for example in capacitors.
• Ozone-depleting substances for example in fridges and freezers.
The WEEE Regulations have been placed in two categories:
1 – Historical
Historical WEEE is classed as EEE that was placed on the UK market prior to August 15 2005.
2 – New

This is it!
My Last official act of 2017. This is the one where I look back at this article
And we look at how well or how badly I did. I'll admit I did review this article a couple of weeks back and it didn't look like I'd done all that badly. Unlike last year when Donald Trump threw a wrench into the guessing this year no such thing occurred. But I know for a fact I got some of the guesses wrong and I think I bombed out on a couple of them. Like I said I'm doing this again and writing down the results as they appear. So while I think I did well I could've stunk up the joint.
Let's the massacre of my supposed high intelligence begin!
- People hold their breath for President Donald Trump
Yeah, there's one that didn't happen! Antifa Riots, Million woman march and open declaration of war by Feminists and Regressives.
Yep, the regressives didn't even wait for Donald Trump to make a mistake they just went ahead and started attacking blindly. In fact, it was speculated that if this was what it was going to be like for the next four years well…god help us all.
People did calm down, Antifa lost its teeth but the attacks on Trump continue.
But for this guess BOY did I ever get this one wrong!
2 The Establishment may attempt to distract us from the ever-widening internal culture war with an outside distraction.
There was some talk about North Korea, there were the usual (ever increasing) terrorist attacks in Europe and a bombing in Syria. The Administration didn't attempt to ramp up any wars and neither did the Regressives attempt to throw any crumbles and bobbles our way for us to look at. They went and stayed on the offensive to the best of their ability. At least until their credibility also started to take serious hits.
In hindsight the mainstream media and the establishment wanted us to pay attention to them this year. They got what they wanted and now they're in free fall just like the rest of the regressives are.
But for the sake of this blog, wrong again. Mostly because 1 and 2 are tied together to make it so.
3. Transparent attempts to crack down or censor the internet mainly alternative news sites.
YES! Got one right and boy did I ever hammer this one out the ballpark.
What stands out for me most though is the intentional lying about Pewdiepie
Got this one right (Finally)
4. Gamergate (or a form of it) is not dead back for round #2
Comicgate…Nuff said
Or you can just go to The Quartering to see what's happening with Wizards of the Coast at the moment.
Either way, I nailed this one!
5. A Watering down of the Manosphere in general
This one is kind of hard to prove. MGTOW.com became the second largest site in the manosphere and A Voice for Men returned to its old prominence. More MGTOW, MRA, Red Pill, PUA etc sites got started up. An increase in size and attention will mean a larger variety of opinion thus a watering down. Nothing unexpected here so I'll give myself a yes here.
6. A rise in the extreme right inside the movement
I saw more Anti-Semitism this year than I had in the five years before. I had one of these guys start to follow me around the manosphere to keep justifying his beliefs to me. I personally had to declare that any jew bashing (Anti-Semitism) on my Facebook group would get you booted. You know it's getting out of control when guys like Turd Flinging Monkey have to start making videos specifically addressing this issue.
The comments section got so bad here that YouTube had to shut down both comments and ratings. Like I said in my guesses for 2018 blog, this is the ugly stepchild of the manosphere and it needs to be dealt with SOON!
Got this one right though.
7. More prominent divisions rising inside the Manosphere
The rise of the Alt-Right is proof enough for that. We also had people on our side attacking each other. There was a row between Candace Owens and Computing Forever
There was also another one that appears to have removed Kraut and Tea from the YouTube community for now too.
Just to make it clear on both of these people. Candace Owens took down Social Autopsy for me that's sufficient. Dave Cullen had a higher standard and it's his channel so he has the right to say that there. Kraut and Tea on the other hand? I wasn't involved never really followed it. I liked most of what Kraut and Tea did and I hope he comes back. Don't know enough about what happened to make a call on it.
I can say I got this one right 5 for 7 now, not bad considering how badly I tanked at the start!
8. Attacks on MGTOW happen with more frequency and ferocity
Well first we had this
Both of these stupid idiots started their channels in 2017. But for more example, we had this and a few others post up as well
This particular video got torn to shreds in the comments not to mention Turd Flinging Monkey did an epic takedown of this video.
Now this guy was really disappointing because he usually has an idea what he's talking about
The real disappointment here was how he pinned this to the top of this video.
Yeah I pretty much say I got this one right
9. I'm not a Feminist or I'm not and/or antifeminist pronouncements rise quickly
This actually tapered off in 2017. Never mind that it's picked up in a large way at the start of 2018. In 2017 this didn't happen, likely because Feminists were more active and got more than a little help from the mainstream media
Got this one wrong
10. Yet ANOTHER months-long period of feminist and/or SJW stupidity
There were moments where it looked like there was going to be something like this. The Mainstream Media though did engage in epic levels of stupidity and did have periods where they did the same thing that other branches of the regressive community did.
Does the mainstream media count as SJW? I'm going to give myself a tentative yes on this. Again though as the start of 2018 has indicated the regressives seem hell bound to lose all the ground they gained in 2017.
1/2 point on this one
11. Very clear signs that Feminism is losing
Had the year ended before Harvey Weinstein got taken down it was really starting to look like this was going to happen.
Once this happened Feminists moved in a took Hollywood without much of fight, even going so far as to set up a potential McCarthy like commission to investigate sexual abuse in Hollywood
Now once again it appears as though Feminists have managed to shoot themselves in the foot as 2018 started. This MAY prevent the sexual misconduct commission from becoming too authoritarian too quickly. Or they may attempt to speed this up because of events that started, time will tell.
Now since this is about 2017 and not 2018 I'm going to have to go wrong about this one.
12. Things start getting violent
I'm just going to post up a few things about Antifa and let them speak for themselves
Battle of Berkeley
Yeah I know, sorry just had to post this.
Granted Antifa had lost most of their Mojo by mid-year. The violence didn't extend through the entire year of 2017. Something for which I think we can all be grateful for. 2018 feels like a different beast, more like a kettle bomb going off from pressure at some point.
So yes I did get this one right, glad it slowed down towards mid-year though.
13. Outrageous and Blatant Lies
From the mainstream media? Oh hell yes absolutely!
I mean there are so many examples of it that I couldn't possibly post all the content so here's a link to it instead
14. Members of the various SJW factions start getting in trouble
Didn't happen there were moments where it happened but you didn't see the long hemorrhaging that had occurred inside regressive circles brought on by their own stupidity in 2017. UNLESS you cover mainstream news that's another story altogether. For the sake of argument, I'm just going to put the mainstream media in the regressive camp here. They took the shots that the other factions couldn't and probably wouldn't have been able to take in 2017. As a result, they now are starting to find themselves in the same boat as them. If 2018 is any indication of 2017 for them it's going to be a LONG year.
And oh yes got this one right
15. Bill Cosby Trial!
Harvey Weinstein ended up being the goat that Bill Cosby was supposed to be. The Cosby trial was a virtual non-event. Luckily (If you're a feminist) Harvey fell into the void quite nicely. He provided the impetus and push that Feminism had at the end of 2017 to pretty much take Hollywood and to destroy more than a few careers in the process. The price paid for doing this was totally unexpected though. It wasn't anyone on the Deplorable side of the fence that got taken down. Instead, Feminists fed on their own that strategy of cannibalizing their own allies though appears to caught up to them already.
So yeah it sort of happened just not with the person I thought it was going to trigger it with. So I sort of got this one right in the actions but not the person.
16. Virtue Signal Failure
Not as much as in 2016! But then again it would be very hard to ever duplicate 2016. Although based on what I've seen so far in 2018 it might be quite easily exceeded.
This one was going to be a pretty safe yes.
17. Call on Donald Trump to be impeached or resign by the end of summer
Full History here
Yep got this one right. In fact, there was another attempt made just a few days ago.
18. A Hard Right or Nationalist party wins a country (Or two) in Europe this year.
Czech Election Won by Anti-Establishment Party Led by Billionaire
Well now, Thank You, Andrej Babis for getting the win for me!
So how did I do? 13 1/2 out of 18 75% well now not bad for a bunch of guesses. I want to discuss more though on how I went wrong and how no matter how accurate any kind of model is, even one where I'm just picking what I think and feel are the most likely reactions based on previous experience. Events can sometimes take strange twists. Or like what happened when Donald Trump put a wrench into a lot of my guesses in 2016 the actions of one individual can and do count.
What did I get wrong and why did I get them wrong in my not so humble opinion
Number 1 I got wrong because I assumed incorrectly that there would be the usual honeymoon period for Donald Trump nothing of the sort happened. In fact with a little hindsight it appears as though a lot of what occurred might have been artificially inflated
Number 2 I got wrong because I assumed once all the insanity got started it would escalate quickly. It didn't in fact it came in two sections one at the start of the year from Antifa and the back end being provided by Feminism. North Korea had some moments for Donald Trump and the Administration but they didn't use this to distract from the homeland
Number 9 I got wrong there were a couple of factors. One being the move by social media sites to crack down on political wrong think. Another one was the apparent resurgence of feminism at the end of 2017. There's also a case of a upswing will eventually top off. That doesn't mean that they won't start jumping on the wagon again in fact I've seen evidence of this starting in 2018
Number 10 I got wrong because while it did happen I didn't expect that it would be the mainstream media and not the groups I expected.
Number 11 Never in my imagination did I ever expect that Feminists would devour their own allies for such a fleeting and temporary victory. Like I said before they captured Hollywood but have likely sped up their own demise
So I did OK, good thing nobody followed my guesses though I mean 75% is pretty good and worth a victory lap or two. I think it shows that my guesses can and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Bradley Goes to War, Has to Settle for a Draw/
Photos: Will Hart
By Kieran Mulvaney
Timothy Bradley has the sculpted torso of a bodybuilder; looking at him, the reasonable expectation might be that his punches land with the force of a mule kick, that he is a knockout artist along the lines of a mini-Mike Tyson. But his most recent stoppage win was against aging Joel Casamayor in 2011, and to find a Bradley KO win before that, one has to go back a further four years, to 2007. Bradley is a lightning-fast technician, a skillful defensive boxer able to dart in and out, land combinations and be gone.
But within that torso beats the heart of a fighter, and so often when he would be best served employing what Lennox Lewis would call "boxology," he allows himself to be dragged into a brawl. That doesn't always work to his advantage: he complained of lengthy concussion symptoms after his brutal win over Ruslan Provodnikov in 2013, and he looked a lot less pretty after his battle with Diego Chaves in Las Vegas on Saturday night. But it makes for entertainment for the fans. It doesn't, however, always give Bradley the result he wants. Against Chaves, the judges split three ways in scoring the contest a draw, even though most ringsiders saw it as a wide – if not exactly comfortable – win for the American.
Seriously, what is it with Fight Night at the Cosmopolitan? The last time a major fight card was held at this beautiful property on the Las Vegas Strip, four months ago, Chaves and Brandon Rios engaged in a bizarre foul-fest that resulted in the Argentine being disqualified. This time around, an entertaining trio of bouts was marred by dubious scoring, in the opening contest of the broadcast and then again in the main event.
To be fair, it could be argued that some of the rounds of this welterweight but were tough to score, particularly over the second half of the fight, when the contest devolved into a scrappy affair that surely suited Chaves more than Bradley. Even so, however, the official judges' scores – and particularly the 116-112 for Chaves on the card of the usually reliable Julie Lederman – left unofficial judges shaking their heads.
At the bout's opening, Chaves (23-2-1, 19 KOs), launched punches in Bradley's direction, looking to land anywhere and everywhere he could, while Bradley used his superior upper body movement to evade the worst of them while flashing fast strikes between his opponent's bludgeoning blows. On two occasions in the second round, both men wound up punches at the same time, leading to heavy clashes of heads from which Bradley appeared to emerge the worse for wear. Shortly afterward, a swelling developed beneath his eye that would ultimately metastasize into a major growth and arguably influence the course of the contest.
The first four rounds were high caliber stuff, Chaves barreling forward and swinging punches with bad intentions as Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs) zipped in and out, sending sharp counters through the incoming artillery, and then electing to just stand and fight. It was typical Bradley: fighting the other guy's fight, and beating him at it, even if it meant taking more punishment than he needed to.
By the fifth, however, as both men began to tire, it all became a little sloppy, and in the sixth, Bradley's form started to fall apart a little as the fight turned more ragged. His cheek was by now swelling rapidly and his left eye was closing; by the eighth, it was hard to understand how he could possibly see out of it at all. Indeed, perhaps he couldn't; and as he fell short repeatedly with right hands he launched from long range in the ninth, the thought occurred that maybe his depth perception was shot.
Perhaps in recognition of that fact, Bradley pulled back on his punches over the final quarter, circling and moving, looking to pick his shots. Chaves kept coming forward, working a jab and landing hard to Bradley's body on several occasions, and taking two of the final three rounds on this reporter's scorecard. But it seemed beyond doubt that his late-rounds charge had been too little, too late – until the official scores were read out.
"So did somebody just get it very wrong?" asked an inexperienced spectator. An accurate and inclusive answer would have taken too long to give. "Welcome to boxing," seemed the only thing to say. Only boxing can excite and entertain us as much as it does, and then disappoint and disgust us almost immediately. This might not have been the ideal or desired end to the boxing year, but maybe it was an appropriate one.

Operation Badlands
April 12, 2005 - ?
On April 12, 2005 Iraqi Security Forces along with the 1st Battalion of the 6th Marine Regiment moved into and secured the town of Saqlawiyah to serve as a base for Operation Badlands. They were supported by mechanized elements from Regimental Combat Team-8, arriving in assault amphibian vehicles and other armored transports.
According to Coalition Forces, Saqlawiyah represented a prime location outside of Fallujah which insurgents could utilize for launching new attacks. Its strategic location close to larger cities such as Ramadi and Mosul also made it valuable for transportation.
Marines from Company A, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment worked in conjunction with the ISF to conduct stability opperations. Their attempts to detect insurgent activity and locate weapons stores led to the apprehension of a number of insurgent supporters. The ISF provided language and cultural expertise which helped to identity suspicious behavior.
Company A, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment was ordered to remain entrenched while continuing to secure of the area and conduct routine patrols along with their ISF counterparts.
