Thank you for visiting the Windsor Police Association homepage. The WPA is a public sector labour organization which represents all civilian and sworn members of the Windsor Police Service from Cadet to Superintendent. As such, the Association is the sole bargaining agent for all of our nearly 630 members. In addition to members who are currently employed, the WPA is also comprised of retired, social and honourary members. The Windsor Police Association is a proud member of the Police Association of Ontario, as well as the Canadian Police Association. Through our affiliation with these provincial and national organizations, the WPA can be active in law and order issues, not only within our City, but also across the country. While police associations strive to ensure our members are fairly represented, we also understand the importance of safe communities for all families. The WPA is proud to be part of initiatives, both with the PAO and CPA, which encourages the government to provide safe neighbourhoods for all Canadians. Locally, the Windsor Police Association is active in supporting community needs. In addition to the many countless hours that WPA members spend volunteering their time, the Association also donates thousands of dollars annually to charitable organizations. The WPA is pleased to be associated with likeminded groups who work towards the betterment of the citizens of Windsor. The Windsor Police Association is proud to represent our membership. WPA members, both civilian and sworn, work diligently around the clock to keep our city safe. The WPA remains committed to providing the best representation for its members, while continuing to serve the broader community. Jason DeJong President, Windsor Police Association |

On Sept. 8, 2016 I was getting ready to take this bike out for a ride when I noticed a very large crack on the seat post about 2 inches under the locking nut. Upon close inspection I could see that the crack went all of the through the tube and about 3/4 of the way around its circumference. The crack must have happened very recently because I would have surely noticed it before now. It's not the sort of thing that would slip anyone's attention. I only rode this bike locally on the Capital Trail and a few times on the Colonial Parkway. I am in my early 60s, of average weight (175 lbs) and height (5'11"). I never abused this bike in any way. I never took it off road. I have returned the bike to Bike Beat and am now waiting to see what Trek will do. I was told that they guarantee their frames. We shall see.
Best Uses
I went from a 2016 Trek FX 5 to the Domane 2.0 and what a difference! I feel like I can ride this bike all day. The minutes I park it after a 30 mile ride, I want to get back on a hour later and ride it again. The Matte Black color with red accent is beautiful and looks much more expensive. The only thing I don't like is the no name brakes. Feels like it takes longer to slow down.
Best Uses
I use this for everyday ride, 20-50 miles rides.. Love this bike..
Best Uses
My wife and I just purchased two Domane 2.0's. These are our first "real" road bikes and we couldn't be happier with the purchase. The ISOspeed rear coupler and forks really smooth out and virtually eliminate the road noise found on the bad roads here in North Texas. While we don't have more expensive bikes to compare the Domane 2.0 to these are exactly what we were looking for to help us reach our goal of completing the century rides and hopefully ride in the Hotter Than Hell next year.

Writing Reflection - Section 1: Guiding Question
Lesson 3 of 8
Objective: SWBAT: take feedback from peers and create a final draft of their literary analysis essays.
Guiding Question
My students hate, abhor, despise revising. I hate, abhor, despise reading "final" drafts that read the same as rough drafts. Somewhere along the line, my students were given the impression that revising means editing the comma mistakes your BFF pointed out.
This, of course, is changing with some careful planning and intentional instruction on my part.
The Guiding Question asks that they consider the value of the peer review session and maybe what they need to change because of it.
I also asked that they review their exit slip from the day before, their Writing Reflection, which asked them to synthesize what their partner said, then to make a revision plan based on that.
Resources (2)
Work Time
My students just needed work time. I'm also very cognizant of the fact that they may have follow-up questions from their peer reviewer, so I prefer not to have them go home and lose that access to their partner.
When they handed in their "final" draft (I cringe every time I say that...Is it ever really final?) , the attached their rough draft where their peer color-coded the topic, sentence, example, and commentary. They handed in their brainstorming chart, their peer review page, and their Double Entry Journal. I wanted to see a holistic process to this essay.
The last thing I had students do before turning in their work was to self-assess. Here they used the same rubric I'll be using to score their own essays. Then, they can make the necessary changes before handing it in.

Fleming (1990); Fleming (1998), ch.s 2-4; Stehr and von Storch (2000), introduction and chapter 4; the latter is a translation of Brückner (1890), chapter 1. BACK 4. Vernadsky's Geochemistry Vernadsky (1924) was published in France (and in Russia in 1927), likewise his Biosphere, Vernadsky (1929); see Vernadsky (1945); Bailes (1990). At least one earlier review of geochemistry, Clarke (1920), ch. 2, included plants along with mineral chemistry as possibly important sources of some gases. BACK 5. Hutchinson (1954), 389-90; see also Hutchinson (1948). BACK 6. A pioneer carbon cycle diagram, remarking that "a quantitative statement is rarely attempted," was Hutchinson (1948), pp. 222-23; the idea may have been drawn from "compartment" models of biological systems familiar in the 1940s to people who worked with radioactive tracers, see Atkins (1969). A typical example is in Fonselius et al. (1956). BACK 8. Eriksson and Welander (1956). BACK 9. Especially important was Oeschger et al. (1975), see p. 191 for applications, and see for references to other models. BACK 10. Eriksson and Welander (1956). BACK 11. Rossby (1959), p. 16. BACK 12. Eriksson and Welander (1956), quote p. 171; the model most used in the next couple of decades was Craig (1957). BACK 13. Models were reviewed by Keeling (1973); the only one that went so far as to use stepwise computer integration was Eriksson and Welander (1956). BACK 14. "Looking back, the papers published in the 1960s... are astonishing to read... The biochemist G.E. Hutchinson was almost alone when he wrote that methane, nitrous oxide, and other gases probably came from bacterial sources." Lovelock (1999), p. 204; for an estimate that most of the air's methane comes from bacteria in animal guts, see Hutchinson (1954), pp. 392-93; carbon dioxide balance: Berner et al. (1983). BACK 15.

E.g., human-caused albedo variations from desertification, and to some extent tropical deforestation, were connected with past global climate changes by Sagan et al. (1979); a pioneering model confirming "the long-held idea that the surface vegetation... is an important factor in the Earth's climate" was Shukla and Mintz (1982); Amazon Basin: Salati and Vose (1984); more recently, see Kutzbach et al. (1996). "It is very likely that sea surface temperature change, natural vegetation [feedback] processes, and land use change have acted synergistically to produce the unusual [Sahel] drought," concluded Zeng (2003). In particular, warming of the Indian Ocean influenced monsoon rains, Giannini et al. (2003). Effects of haze (sulfate aerosols): Hegerl et al. (2007), p. 715. BACK 20. For precipitation change one early suggestion was Newell (1971), quote p. 459.

Last week we bought Harry some new summertime PJs. Size 2T. 2T!!
That's my "little" boy! Not even 18 months and wearing the jammies of a two year old. They're a bit saggy in the butt, but they fit him surprisingly well. I wish he'd stop growing so fast!
Have a great Thursday!

Is there a quality of life in Hazleton? I say no. Ordinances by our chief of police, and I suspect ordered by our mayor, are useless and are only a means to pour more monies into the city's coffers and to spend it foolishly.
I feel we the citizens of the city should write its ordinances, such as patch all potholes or put a fine of $50 per hole per day if not done, a fine of $100 per day when garbage or recyclables are not picked up the day they should. Recyclables and garbage usually found on the streets after the trash men left should be fined $50 per day until picked up. If the trash people cannot handle the city collection, it's time to get someone else. They are not fulfilling their contract and it's time to dump them.
The only one at City Hall working that would answer the phone was Mark and his assistant and they both tried to resolve this problem, but the trash sat there for six more days.
Question: With all these people at City Hall, why doesn't anyone answer the phones?
Alter Street, full of trash and loiterers. Try to walk down Alter Street. New police cruisers sit at City Hall for safekeeping. Years ago, with 40 police, our area would see a cruiser roaming the streets every couple of hours. Today, we're lucky to see them every couple of days, but they sure look good at City Hall. It's time to get these new police cars out of the parking lot and back to the beats, and I don't mean 2 p.m.
Has anyone been to City Hall lately to see the second- and third-floor police offices? The code office has been kicked into the first floor with tax collections. A big move for quality of life.
Quality of life is to stop vandalism, not fining people with garage sales or a sofa on the porch. I have never seen so much time spent on this item and if we could concentrate our time and talents in the proper direction, then and only then can we see a quality of life that is worth something.
Two big items need to be changed: The police chief returned to policing, and code officers who know what books to read and what laws to enforce, and are better qualified.
Do I care if the city goes to being laid off for a month or two? No. Maybe, just maybe, this would get the employees of the city to care, and this goes twice for the streets department.

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the aggregation of beta-amyloid (Abeta) protein in the brain, widespread neurodegeneration, and cognitive decline. Our work focuses on amelioration of Alzheimer's pathology by reducing or eliminating GD3 synthase (GD3S), an enzyme responsible for synthesis of two of the four major brain gangliosides. Our preliminary data demonstrate that knocking out the gene that codes for GD3S (St8sia1) drastically reduces A2 aggregation and oxidative stress, and prevents memory deficits in mice carrying mutant human transgenes for amyloid precursor protein (App) and presenilin 1 (Psen1). However, GD3S is absent from birth in these mice, and they lack many of the gangliosides involved in normal development. Our goal is to understand the role of gangliosides in Alzheimer's disease and how they relate to memory impairment, the earliest cognitive symptom of the disease. The objective of this application is to determine whether knocking down GD3S using gene silencing (shRNA) is as effective as knocking out GD3S in alleviating features of Alzheimer's disease in the 5xFAD mouse model. The general hypothesis of the proposed research is that shRNA knock-down of GD3S will successfully reduce plaque formation and prevent neurodegeneration and memory impairments in adult mutant mice. We have already made three viral- vector-mediated GD3S-shRNA constructs that reduce GD3S expression ~80 percent and persist in the brain. In the proposed experiments, shRNA constructs will be administered to 5xFAD and control mice. Spatial memory will be assessed, as well as control tests for anxiety and sensorimotor function. Post-mortem analyses will assess Alzheimer- related neuropathology and cell death. Successfully reducing amyloid burden, cell death, and memory impairment in the transgenic mice may provide insight into new treatment strategies for Alzheimer's disease--treatments that could reduce or prevent dementia in Alzheimer patients.
The proposed experiments will test the effects of a novel genetic therapy, rAAV.GD3S.shRNA, on memory and Alzheimer-related neuropathology. The use of this vector represents not only a novel treatment strategy, but a novel therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease. These experiments are consistent with the stated goals of National Institute on Aging and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

We aim to provide a semi-structured, highly interactive, constructive and collaborative learning experience. This means that we set the scene - but you determine the plot. In order to make that work, we need to provide simple, effective, and powerful learning practices. The "spine" of the MOOC
The flow
We will be using a range of tools to support these activities. Your spaceThe OLDS MOOC is project-based and collaborative. Each week, you will be presented with a sequence of tasks which you will undertake individually or in project teams. In most tasks, you will produce some artefacts and share them and comment on your peer's productions. These will build up to your learning design project.In order to collate and share your work, you will set up an individual portfolio and a team workspace. We suggest you use cloudworks as a platform for these, and will guide you in doing so, but you can use any platform you like. Local learning circleYou can complete this MOOC on your own, but we believe your experience will be much more fruitful if you have some friends for the journey. We strongly encourage you to form a local study circle. This could be based on your project team, a group of participants in your institution, or participants you identify as having similar interests or living nearby. You can use services such as http://www.meetup.com/ to set up your local study circle. Please list your circle at: http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloudscape/view/2456 (or join an existing one).A note on your privacyAs mentioned in the Research and Ethical use of data, we are conducting research and evaluation of the MOOC. We will use the discussions on the groups, the clouds and cloudscapes, the tweets and bibsonomy items, and any other public expressions we may find as research data. We will make an effort to annonymise the data, although it may sometimes be possible to track down the speakers from the content. |

In 2007 a box containing 30,000 rolls of undeveloped film, prints and negatives by an unknown photographer were auctioned off and purchased for $350. After seeing the images the buyer quickly purchased another box of the same, totaling over 100,000 negatives, images, audio tapes, interviews and undeveloped film. The photography was the work of a New York City nanny, Vivian Maier, who photographed prolifically for over forty years but never exhibited her work. Maiers photograph's have now been turned into a book and documentary titled "Finding Vivian Maier." The documentary looks fascinating- check it out!

For the money, I thought that this toy performed better and had more features than other toys of the same price. I would recommend it as a great addition to any toy box.Published:
Strong vibrations, multiple speeds, great flexibility, ease of use. Takes two AA batteries
Somewhat loud and the controls are easy to accidentally hit, (controls should be recessed).

The unsigned
keyword is a data type specifier, that makes a variable only represent positive numbers and zero. It can be applied only to the char
, short
and long
types. For example, if an int
typically holds values from -32768 to 32767, an unsigned int
will hold values from 0 to 65535. You can use this specifier when you know that your variable will never need to be negative. For example, if you declared a variable 'myHeight' to hold your height, you could make it unsigned because you know that you would never be negative inches tall.

Recognizable for its iconic chimneys, Battersea Power Station consists of two power stations and a larger complex that were built in the 1930s and 1950s. Since 1983, Battersea Power Station has been closed to the public, marking a thirty-year period of abandonment and lack of appropriate maintenance. The station was first listed on the Watch in 2004, and its impending demolition was averted. Ten years later, the Power Station's future is once again in question. Located on prime London real estate, the site is slated for imminent redevelopment.

Wyeast Nutrient
Although wort is a good growth medium for yeast, additional Wyeast Nutrient will reduce lag time, improve yeast viability and provide consistent attenuation rates. Low assimilable nitrogen concentrations (FAN) of grape must or wort have long been known as a cause of sluggish or stuck fermentations. Wyeast yeast nutrient, a blend of vitamin B's, minerals, inorganic nitrogen (DAP), organic nitrogen (amino acids), zinc, phosphates and other trace elements will benefit yeast growth and carbohydrate uptake for a more rapid, complete fermentation. Use 1/4 tsp per pint for beer propagation, 1 tsp per 5 gallons for wine or beer fermentation or 1.5 oz per 10 barrels for beer fermentation.
Fermentis S-04 Safale S-04
Fermentis S-04 Safale S-04
A well-known, commercial English ale yeast, selected for its fast fermentation character and its ability to form a very compact sediment at the end of the fermentation, helping to improve beer clarity. This yeast is recommended for the production of a large range of ale beers and is specially well adapted to cask-conditioned ales and fermentation in cylindro-conical tanks. Sedimentation: high. Final gravity: medium. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C ± 3C. Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.

The Witness begins in a long, dark tunnel. You are moving toward a light along whitewashed walls, concave like a squinted eye. The first puzzle in this puzzle game is one of perspective: Am I going up, or forward?
There is, in this case, an easy path to a solution: Come out the other side and look behind you.
Not that this is one of the game's "true" puzzles, of which developer Jonathan Blow says there are nearly 700. But it shares a key element with everything that comes after. As in all of the The Witness I've experienced so far, the only answer you're likely to get is the one you make yourself.
More than five years in the making, The Witness is the second game from indie developer Blow, whose breakout 2008 hit Braid arguably ushered in the modern indie games movement. To say people have high expectations for The Witness, coming Tuesday on PC and PlayStation 4, is an understatement. I'm not convinced that Braid has aged well—so many of its ideas have folded so neatly into the "indie aesthetic," so far as such a thing exists, that it feels almost unremarkable eight years later. But Braid positioned Blow as a controversial and important studio. Its successor has the dual pressures of being good and reaffirming the legitimacy of Blow's standing in the gaming world.
Given all the pressure, it's hard not to imagine The Witness as an answer to Blows' detractors. In response, the game gives you a tunnel, and then an island. Lush, overgrown with foliage in impossibly bright hues, and quiet. No background music, no voices. A bird, here and there. The pull and push of the tide somewhere in the distance. You are utterly alone.
If this is a commentary on legacies, so far it feels like a raised eyebrow. Followed by wandering off, shrugging. The island, like the tunnel, is a puzzle, and one for which you should not expect any hints.
Soon enough, you find the first of The Witness's "real" puzzles: A blue panel etched with black pathways, like a circuit. Touch it, and it lights up. Connect the source to the destination, and it lights up, power flowing from a cord coming out the back. Follow the tether, find another puzzle. Push power through the whole facility, a ruined castle courtyard the color of adobe bricks, and a door opens.
You are greeted by more island, and more puzzles. This is The Witness: A set of circuit puzzles on a ruined, abandoned island. The puzzles are stretched across the landscape, with different locations revolving around different sorts of puzzles, each adding a different rule to the basic circuit-completion idea. By traveling to different parts of the island, you come to understand different rules, then return to apply those rules to more complex puzzles you couldn't solve before, eventually opening new paths, activating mysterious machines, and figuring out what in God's name is going on here.
I think that's what you're supposed to do. To tell you the truth, I'm less than confident. I've sunk hours upon hours into The Witness. I feel like I might be halfway through it. But I have no idea what's going on. The circuit puzzles stubbornly refuse to explain themselves; understanding the rules governing them is a matter of trial and error (and error and error), piecing together functional heuristics by inference and work. Likewise, there are no signposts explaining anything about the game's setting or narrative impetus. I don't even know who I am.
The obvious touchpoint here seems to be Myst, the blockbuster adventure game from the '90s that sent you to a similar island. But Myst had a clear narrative impetus, a hook to draw you into the experience, to give you a reason to care. By using a strange book, you could travel to the game's island, discovering clues that told a concrete, albeit elliptical and strange, story. So far, The Witness has offered me nothing.
I'm on an island, and it's lovely and intricate but I don't know why I should care. This is exacerbated by the impenetrability and complexity of some of the puzzles, which have so far proven to be beyond me. This is a fundamentally subjective complaint, and I can imagine people with a knack for geometric logic sneering here, but I don't think it's entirely my fault. By refusing to offer any guidance at all, The Witness runs the risk of players bouncing off it entirely. I'm not sure it cares.
Frankly, I think I might hate The Witness. Even after hours of playtime, I don't know enough to tell.
There are some bright spots. I found a way to travel to various parts of the island quickly, offering some perspective on the structure of the place. I've made some headway, here and there, on some truly difficult puzzles. In some places, it seems that I'm on the precipice of a real discovery.
The Witness has yet to offer me any reasons to expect that my faith will be rewarded, however. I've found a couple of audio logs, that new standby of videogame narratives. They've all been near ships, which I think might be important.
Upon activation, all they've offered are famous videogame voice actors reading the words of philosophers and poets. Thought experiments. Eulogies. More questions.
In the silence of the island, I can almost hear The Witness laughing at me.

AUSTRALIA: Telstra is determined to entrench itself as the carrier with the fastest and biggest network. It plans to roll out its LTE network fast, and it will maintain this speed in 2012. Over time more and more traffic will be carried on LTE, especially after 2013 when the digital dividend 700MHz spectrum is made available.
Telstra also wants a smooth transition. Instead of marketing LTE as a separate service, it will issue everyone with the same 3G/4G dongles so that the 3G and 4G networks work seamlessly. Most users won't be aware which network they are using. It has also made a $10 a month adjustment to price, but only for its top plan, keeping the price impact small.

Photographer's Note
I have no idea if this unfortunate Bosnian man lost his leg through an act of war in the 90's, but he is in any case a war victim. Roughly 15 years after the war, Bosnia is one of the poorest countries in Europe and the ethnic and religious hatred that started the conflict is still evident. It's a country of political stalemate where very little economic development has taken place, and the social security network is very weak.

Great moody and emotional photo.

Hej Gert,
so after a looooong time we are "neighbours" today! I am glad I decided to stay at home 5-10 minutes longer before going out to work :) At last one more photo from you!
I think it's a very good documentary "portrait". Again, it shows how fragile and valuable human life is! In fact, there are many such people in Russia, too. Some of them are victims of wars (local wars in the South like Chechnya etc) or just ... poor people whom nobody needs!
A good reminder of the fact that there is not only beauty in the world.
Good composition! Yes, an emotional shot.
Have a nice day!

Tashy (1836) 2008-11-18 4:03
Hello Gert..
I am without words... I have visited Bosnia many times (before and after the war) and I thought that I will get used to this kind of images by now...but the truth is...you can never get used to something so sad and terrible.
I am convinced that photography is one of the best ways to educate people and make them aware of the world around us...and you have done that by uploading this photo. You have done something good for the people of Bosnia...
That is all I can say...

KristinsCamera (2384) 2013-08-04 21:53
oh... this is almost too sad for me to comment on.
and yet i feel i should, to acknowledge this man's existence, as you have so poignantly done with this photograph. what a sad, sad commentary on humanity, or the lack of, that he is just left to sleep on the sidewalk... has he no one who cares? his belly looks funny, i wonder if that is also the result of a wound, or perhaps his belongings bunched up under his sweater.
it feels a bit strange to say that this is really a beautiful photograph, but it is.
the colors and the lighting are dramatic, yet gentle and almost inviting. and the framing is perfect. you have shown a lot of empathy with this one, gert ~
Tigerlily (3379) 2015-07-28 8:56
Hi Gert,
A sad and thought provoking image. Why human beings can't stop killing each other? I'm too old to understand it all, but if one can tell me who are benefit from the wars, I could understand it better...

Gender | Hermaphrodite |

Age | Unknown |
Occupation | Prince of Darkness |
Voiced by | Sean Kiely |
Appearances | |
First | Pancake Doomsday |
Satan (voiced by Sean Kiely) is a fictional character and the deuteragonist in the flash animated series Leo & Satan.
In contrast to the biblical Satan (also known as Lucifer, The Devil, and Beelzebub), who is portrayed as a quick-tempered, powerful, supernatural entity that is the personification of evil and the enemy of God and humankind. In Leo & Satan however, he is portrayed as a child-like buffoon who appears to only enjoy eating pancakes with sugar on top, playing with his best friend Leo, or other equally child-like activities. Satan also exhibits somewhat of bipolar episodes; such as knocking the controller out of leo's hands for no reason at all in Battery Catastrophe or yelling "I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!!" at Leo in Trash Hazard.
Satan's relationship with Leo borders on an almost nurturing tone, as seen through Satan's cast iron attitude towards wearing socks, but almost directly contradicts this with periodic episodes of terrifying actions. Satan is very child like with his mannerisms and understanding of the world, but possesses a very powerful front of power. Even Satan's best intended gestures usually cause trouble for Leo. This subtle mix of innocent catastrophe and demonic power provide adequate room for story building.
Satan also cares deeply for Leo, as he is seen crying with Esquire after accidentally slicing Leo's upper torso into pieces in Trash Hazard. While still being capable of terrifying Leo at regular intervals.
- When Satan says "You asked for it!" in the title sequence after he comes through the trap door from hell, suggests the notion that he was called upon by Leo.
- This suggests another interesting theory, that Leo calls upon satan when he wants to play.

Hi everyone! This is our entry for the Game Jam #4! Our handicap was to make a game with only using arrow keys, so, you will only be able to use arrow keys :)
In this game you are a metalhead (you can choose to be a woman or a man in the playlist) and you have to keep headbanging as the rhythm asks you to do. The multiplier will become bigger each time you play a note; you will gain more points if the note is more centered than down than if you keep pressing the arrow keys all the time. After you finish, each song has his own highscore table, so you can submit your score for that song!
Don't get mad if a lot of arrows come down, try to make circles and catch as many as you can doesn't matter if you do something wrong, you just will win a bit less of points.
Hope you have fun with it!
Total songs: 8 + 1 Tutorial
Characters: 1 Male and 1 Female
Headbangs: Infinite
Rated 1 / 5 stars
hard as hell and what was your idea? headbangers anonymous? i'm sorry but if this were an actual videogame, no one would play it. it's too hard.
Rated 5 / 5 stars

Rated 5 / 5 stars
