I Am Not An Evil Overlord!
It's true! I swear! Recently I've been delving into my inner world just a little as part of my ministerial supervision. This has proved to be a good experience. Especially in recent weeks completing and then beginning to process my MBTI profile. Somewhere along the way I got mis-categorised as an ENTJ - which is fine - ENTJ's are good people too. And for me, its an easy mistake to make if you see a more externalised view of me. But as you get closer its pretty clear that the J is really a P which takes me away from "The Evil Overlord" description and into "Mad Scientist" territory (check out the alternate definitions). It is actually a very pragmatic tool for understanding "fit" in certain roles and how you relate to others who may be different to you. It has already led me to initiate a conversation with a person to rationalise my involvement with what they're doing - so they get the best out of my limited availability rather than the worst!
I found a good description of the ENTP which captures much of the stuff I'm discovering:
The Visionary
As an ENTP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things rationally and logically.
With Extraverted Intuition dominating their personality, the ENTP's primary interest in life is understanding the world that they live in. They are constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations they are presented in their lives. Using their intuition to process this information, they are usually extremely quick and accurate in their ability to size up a situation. With the exception of their ENFP cousin, the ENTP has a deeper understanding of their environment than any of the other types.
This ability to intuitively understand people and situations puts the ENTP at a distinct advantage in their lives. They generally understand things quickly and with great depth. Accordingly, they are quite flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks. They are good at most anything that interests them. As they grow and further develop their intuitive abilities and insights, they become very aware of possibilities, and this makes them quite resourceful when solving problems.
ENTPs are idea people. Their perceptive abilities cause them to see possibilities everywhere. They get excited and enthusiastic about their ideas, and are able to spread their enthusiasm to others. In this way, they get the support that they need to fulfill their visions.
ENTPs are less interested in developing plans of actions or making decisions than they are in generating possibilities and ideas. Following through on the implementation of an idea is usually a chore to the ENTP. For some ENTPs, this results in the habit of never finishing what they start. The ENTP who has not developed their Thinking process will have problems with jumping enthusiastically from idea to idea, without following through on their plans. The ENTP needs to take care to think through their ideas fully in order to take advantage of them.
The ENTP's auxiliary process of Introverted Thinking drives their decision making process. Although the ENTP is more interested in absorbing information than in making decisions, they are quite rational and logical in reaching conclusions. When they apply Thinking to their Intuitive perceptions, the outcome can be very powerful indeed. A well-developed ENTP is extremely visionary, inventive, and enterprising.
ENTPs are fluent conversationalists, mentally quick, and enjoy verbal sparring with others. They love to debate issues, and may even switch sides sometimes just for the love of the debate. When they express their underlying principles, however, they may feel awkward and speak abruptly and intensely.
The ENTP personality type is sometimes referred to the "Lawyer" type. The ENTP "lawyer" quickly and accurately understands a situation, and objectively and logically acts upon the situation. Their Thinking side makes their actions and decisions based on an objective list of rules or laws.
The ENTP, who does not naturally consider the more personal or human element in decision making, should take care to notice the subjective, personal side of situations. This is a potential problem are for ENTPs. Although their logical abilities lend strength and purpose to the ENTP, they may also isolate them from their feelings and from other people.
The least developed area for the ENTP is the Sensing-Feeling arena. If the Sensing areas are neglected, the ENTP may tend to not take care of details in their life. If the Feeling part of themself is neglected, the ENTP may not value other people's input enough, or may become overly harsh and aggressive.
Under stress, the ENTP may lose their ability to generate possibilities, and become obsessed with minor details. These details may seem to be extremely important to the ENTP, but in reality are usually not important to the big picture.
In general, ENTPs are upbeat visionaries. They highly value knowledge, and spend much of their lives seeking a higher understanding. They live in the world of possibilities, and become excited about concepts, challenges and difficulties. When presented with a problem, they're good at improvising and quickly come up with a creative solution. Creative, clever, curious, and theoretical, ENTPs have a broad range of possibilities in their lives.

|Main roads flooded
Due to the very high intensity of the rainfall, from some days Albania faces floods all over the place. The situation is very serious but fortunately until now no life is lost, except material damages.
The Civil Emergencies (CE), a structure within the Interior Ministry has provided important information on the rainfall and flooding situation all over the country by 8:00. According to the Civil Emergencies, the situation is expected to be aggravated and requires the citizens to avoid unnecessary moves.
CE: The situation in the country - 08:00 am, Friday.
Given the aggravated situation as a result of high intensity of rainfall during the last days and the days following the beginning of December, the Interior Ministry calls on citizens to avoid unnecessary movements and the circulation of vehicles in the road axes that pose a risk from the flood.
The Interior Ministry and all the structures that are working to manage this situation on the ground require the understanding of the citizens and their cooperation.
The Interior Ministry will notify the citizens about the areas and road axes that pose problems with the floods and requires their commitment to face solidarity in these difficult days with the rain.
Based on weather forecasts, an overwhelming rainfall situation is expected in the following hours and days, which may exceed normal levels.
The Civil Emergency and Crisis Coordination Committee calls on all citizens to take special care in this situation, paying particular attention to the following:
• Care for life remains a first-rate priority. Everybody should avoid as far as possible the travels in areas affected by rainfall, the position near the rivers and streams, the stand near the pillars or other high objects that could be hit by electrical discharges.
• Citizens residing close to river beds, near dams or areas that historically endangered by the floods, must increase life care and be willing to cooperate with civil emergency structures in case of need for temporary evacuation.
• It is required to avoid walking trips or in vehicles in the affected areas or at risk of flooding. A watercourse of about 20 centimeters in depth can crash a passer, while a 30 centimeter current can snatch your vehicle during the movement.
• Avoid at best the crossings of rivers with increased flow and strong currents.
• In case of unexpected water streams, you should quickly search and go to a high place.
• If the water level near your vehicle increases and stays the same level for some time, you should leave the vehicle to find a higher place. But do not forsake the vehicle to get into a strong water stream.
• Avoid parking in the vicinity of rivers or streams during heavy rainfall, as they can be flooded very quickly.
• Avoid stopping or parking on the roads that are on the edge of the rivers. Often the water can scratch the base of the road, making it risky.
• Keep the radio or television open for receiving notices that may be provided by the competent authorities.
• Keep communication tools, especially cell phones, in readiness for battery availability.
• Keep in-hand quick help, necessary medications, lighting tools, etc.
• Put in closed environments the furnitures or other utensils you normally carry out. Preferably place the utensils at high points inside the house to prevent flood damage.
• Disconnect as many electrical appliances from the network as possible and do not touch them if they are in moisture or under water.
• Be cautious of electric shocks that may come from the fall of the voltage wires in the water basins.
• Report to 112 or any other form of communication about any problems you may have.
Some roads blocked all over the country due to flooding.
As a consequence of the high rainfall intensity, the Kardhiq-Gjirokastra road axis is crossed with difficulty after water has come down the road to the point of Viro.
Axis Fusche Kruja-Lac, can be crossed with difficulty.
The highway in the direction of Tirana-Durres is passable, while from Durres to Tirana is still blocked.
Those who arrive in Tirana from Durres must circulate on the Durrës-Vorë-Rinas-Laknas-Kamza axis until a second notice.
Civil Emergencies provide information on the situation from rainfall Friday, December 01, 2017 Rating:

Gimme Five: Megan Hilty's Most Memorable Concerts (Video)
The "Smash" singer breaks down her favorite recent live shows, from Bey to MMJ.
"Smash" star and Columbia recording artist Megan Hilty knows a thing or two about a compelling live show: the 31-year-old singer, who released her debut album "It Happens All The Time" last week, is a Broadway veteran as well, having starred in "Wicked" beginning in 2004. And although her own music is riddled with sumptuous pop moments, Hilty tells Billboard that her most memorable moments in live music appreciation have leaned toward rock and folk artists.
While recently stopping by Billboard's New York studio to perform a pair of songs and discuss her debut album, Hilty also shed some insight into the best concerts that she's attended recently, from Beyonce's triumphant return to the soulful sounds of Fleet Foxes. Check out Hilty's diverse rundown of her most enjoyable concert moments, in the latest edition of Pop Shop's "Gimme Five" series:

Phrase of the day – Hakuna Matata!
We surveyed the damage of last night's heralding storm of flash floods, no electricity and overflowing tents. I was so exhausted I fell asleep at 8:30 p.m. last night and slept through the latter half of the storm or floated rather! Just kidding. It wasn't that bad inside the tent. The beds were wet and the floor was covered in water but not Hurricane Harvey water so Hakuna Matata. I will say I absolutely recommend Kühl waterproof pants and jacket as, once again, they kept me high and dry despite the driving rain and flash flooding.
Following our damage assessment, delicious pancakes and an intoxicating sunrise (see featured image), we witnessed a sight not seen since the late 90s we were told! Mt Kilimanjaro was covered in snow. Yes, it is true the very top usually has snow on it but not most of the mountain. The rain storm that doused us below at the foot of the highest mountain in Africa was a snow storm on Kili. And during the early morning hours, the view was clear as bell!
How incredible is this? Well, take a look at the photo above. We got the quintessential photo and video of a family of elephants marching in front of Kilimanjaro across the road in front of our safari van towards the swamp. Quintessential Amboseli shot and despite what you may hear or read….rarer than you would think especially with Kili covered in snow.
Following this we headed to the Tanzanian border to Country 76! I must have said Hakuna Matata a number of times from this point. Small things I witnessed like "you must exchange your money here – better for you" (wink wink). The exchange rate of course is literally half of what it would be anywhere else. And "I got you Red Bull" but it's 500 Kenyan shillings when locals actually get it for 150 shillings. And if you order chicken then you pay 150 more Kenyan shillings but told us after we ordered. In fact, I had to pay for the above photograph by giving her a pen. She was crafty in this way – the little scammer. It's a 'pay me to carry your bag' – kind of place when you didn't ask for the person's assistance. But this I found is just at the border. Once you get to Arusha you will be blown away by the genuine kindness of the Tanzanian people. And the border itself, while a bit of a confusing crossing, it was entertaining nonetheless! They wanted to open my bag. They pulled me aside. A female border agent requested I open it which I did. She removed my make up bag and started laughing as she showed it to the man who had questioned the contents as seen on the x-ray machine. Such laughter became guttural and widespread amongst the remaining border agents when I asked them not to tell anyone I had brought make up with me to Africa. The chief border agent said Hakuna Matata – we will keep this information completely confidential!!
Plus, you must have US dollars when crossing the border into Tanzania in order to purchase a visa. And for Americans you will need more — generally twice the cost as other foreigners ($100 for Tanzania). Hakuna Matata though as I will pay Lola and Mark back upon arrival in Arusha. (My East African Tourist Visa apparently doesn't cover the EAST African state of Tanzania I learned.)
The worst experience for the day however was the man who sat directly in front of us on the bus to Arusha. In 76 countries thus far, it was the worst smell I had ever smelled! We thought we were going to die. Hakuna Matata…I found a cure…sort of! I'm told I will get used to it as it is prolific in Africa. (I did by the way for the most part! In fact, who knows how often it was me.)
In the end, it was a great day as I had made it successfully across the border, had a Red Bull in hand, was with truly great people and upon arrival in Arusha I went to my hotel – the Goldcrest – and what a hotel it is. The cost was $59/night and is probably one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in my travels except maybe Fairways and Blue Waters in Boracay. Here I got a suite! I did struggle with the POS machines and the payment for days but the staff at Goldcrest are remarkable and patient and were my first introduction to hands down the kindest and most welcoming people in the world – Tanzanian people! And ultimately I was able to get the money I needed from Barclays Bank just down the road.
That's all for now from Arusha, Tanzania and Country 76.

Goa [India]: After a tough set of fixtures, Churchill Brothers will return to home turf to host fellow strugglers Chennai City FC here at the Tilak Maidan Stadium on Tuesday.
Churchill Brothers are languishing at the bottom of the table as they are winless after four away games.
The fixture list has not been kind to them with the Goan side facing the likes of Shillong Lajong, Mohun Bagan, Aizwal FC and East Bengal where they failed to take a single point facing teams which finished in the top half of the table last season.
"We started very badly against (Shillong) Lajong and Mohun Bagan. So after that, we sorted out a lot of things and the team is gelling very well. As you have seen, in our performance against Aizwal, we could have still come out with a point. We conceded in the 88th minute because of a lapse in concentration," Alfred Fernandes the stand-in coach of Churchill Brothers opined.
The game against East Bengal was one of their better performances where they looked like earning a 2-2 draw only to see Willis Plaza score late into added time.
"In the East Bengal match, if not three points we could have come out with a point. The referee played on another two minutes in which they scored," Alfred rued before adding; "A little bit of luck and we could have come out with a win. If not a win, at least a point would have been a deserving one."
Their Tuesday's opponents Chennai City FC have also not had the best of starts to the season despite what was a possibly an easier set of fixtures.
While dwelling on his team's bad run of form, Chennai City FC Coach V Soundararajan empathised with Churchill Brothers.
"Both the teams are on very low on points. But compared to us, they played all the vital matches. Like Mohun Bagan, East Bengal. They have improved a lot. Unfortunately in the extra-time, one minute than extra time, they conceded the goal. They did a wonderful workout against a well-organised side. We also feel for them. Anyway, we don't want to lose a point," Soundararajan stated.
The Chennai City FC coach also rued a lack of luck for his own team.
"The team has not settled yet. But all the matches we are maintaining the possession and all but the luck is not with us. Against Neroca, we missed a penalty," he said.
Churchill Brothers will look to take advantage of playing at home and will again look to rely on winger Nicholas Fernandes who has rediscovered his form after a poor season in the last edition.
"It is the coach's confidence in me. Last year, I was a bit off. This year, I thought over it and I am trying to give my best to the club. Whatever is good for the team, I will keep doing it," the winger said.
Both teams are after precious points in a bit to get out of the bottom of the league. (ANI)

A couple months back, Tim Schafer asked for $400,000 to make an adventure game, a genre long considered dead by mainstream publishers. In the end, he did not raise his goal amount. Instead he raised $3,336,371! If this doesn't prove that there's still a market for adventure games, it at least proves that there's a market for Tim Schafer games.
With all the great possibilities of crowdfunding, I'm sad to announce the first Kickstarter scam: a game titled Mythic: The Story Of Gods And Men. People started to get suspicious when they noticed that the concept art and CG animation (and office shots) had been stolen from other websites. Also the fact that they were promising to make a game with graphics "up there with Skyrim" with $80,000 in donations, in a year, might have been a clue.
The creator has since pulled the plug, but you can still watch the trailer and laugh at its ineptitude without feeling bad. Also I'm not sure it was wise for the "creator" to show his face in the video, maybe he's unfamiliar with how the internet works.

In 2010 'We are Durban' was alerted by Hoosen Moola from 'iTrump' and Darlene Menzies on the heart breaking closure of the Qalakahle ECD Centre in Mansel Market, due to the regulation health and safety standards not being met. The early childhood development is the only phase of education that is not regulated by the government, however it's one of the most important phases of learning as it's during these ages children learn the most, therefore making it an essential service for children in the area.
'We are Durban' and 'iTrump' gallantly stepped in and put together a group to help prevent this essential service from closing its doors. The initial sponsorship from Headway Pre-primary got the project underway and was the start of a better future for the Qalakahle ECD Learning centre and its students. With the path for the renovation project now set in motion and with the help of Ocean Architects, other companies soon caught wind, and eagerly joined in with impressive sponsorships. The Qalakahle ECD Centre then received numerous sponsorships with the key sponsors being 'Afrisun KZN community development trust', 'PRASA' and 'Ocean Architects' who designed the facility and pulled the whole project together.
Once Perspex South Africa heard about the wonderful work that was helping to keep the Qalakahle ECD Centre's doors open, we couldn't wait to get involved. We wanted to help build a colourful space were children are not only able to grow and learn but get excited about going to everyday, so we decided to sponsor a variety of beautiful coloured of Perspex® cast acrylic inlays for the fences and doors. The project took over 3 years to complete, however the doors of the Qalakahle ECD Centre are now open and have the stamp of approval from the Health and Safety department. The Qalakahle ECD Centre, with the help of 'We are Durban', 'iTrump', 'Perspex South Africa' and all the other generous sponsors, can now continue to do their kind and caring work to help the children in Mansel Market have a better and brighter future.

Disappearing Chili
1 onion
Brown ground beef and green peppers. Drain and stir in beans, tomatoes and chili seasoning. Mix well, continue simmering while mixing. Place in 9x13 inch baking dish, take the biscuits and fold biscuits over cheese cubes and seal well. Roll top and sides of biscuit in oleo. Coat with corn chips and arrange over top of hot meat mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until brown.
(Note: I have found its better to cut the biscuits in half and then fold half a biscuit around each cube of cheese. Also, its always taken longer (about double the time) for the biscuits to turn golden brown. Buts its a easy dish to make for those potluck suppers especially those fall trail rides.)

Drones are one of the hottest issues that are going to influence the world in a major way in the coming years. The best facet of drones is that jobs will be generated by them for thousands of folks because as the use of drones grow, so will the importance of trained unmanned drone pilots increase dramatically.
The armed forces have been using drones for decades now, and there's a deficiency of drone pilots that are educated, and they've been counting to the firms that furnish these trained aviators on the outsourcing of the works.
These pilots aren't carrying any work on their own, they merely follow the purchases and are always tracked out. These pilots are civilians who are taking the orders of the authorities who do not have the expertise of drones that are flying out. kameradrohnekaufen.com got this problem straight in their article. This agreement is here to stay for a while until soldiers who are experts in drones are recruited by the military and it is working well for the armed forces. At the moment the military has just over 1300 UAV's in use but the investigation is about, as this is insufficient to fill the need.
Where there is a need for the UAV or drone pilots, it's not only the armed services. When the FAA releases regulations and principles affecting drones most of the companies will blatantly attempt to cut off the amount of staff-they presently have and replace them with robotic systems like drones. This will enhance not just the efficacy of the merchandise delivery but also improve the economies of the business.
There are going to be over 7000 firms which will be flying drones whenever FAA arrives with regulations and its new rules. This will not consider the time and will happen soon for there will tremendous need for pilots who understand how to fly drones (or swim them, if you will: 'onderwater drone kopen')
Because every subject is finding a use for drones, this is just the beginning, The major use of drones can also be going to be witnessed in the sector where drones will be utilised for filming the sporting events. This field will majorly outsource the work because it is not just the popular channels like ESPN that need to cover the events but furthermore the teams which will need certainly to film their practice periods to determine the weaknesses of the group that can be worked upon and the robust factors.
It is called that employments open up once drones are utilised on a business foundation. The staffing and outsourcing will take a large move because of this new technology and the kids who are seen as wasting their time enjoying video games may become the most sought away folks in the industry.

"I met Robert at the beginning of his Hammond journey, and where that journey has taken him just amazes me. Everything about this CD delights me, especially the writing, Robert's choice of players and the musical interplay among them, and most importantly, the development of Robert's distinctive and uniquely melodic voice on the instrument, both as a player and composer. For me, Hammond players make the world a better place, and I am so glad Robert is doing his part! I hope he continues on this journey!" — Nancy Wright [saxophonist to B.B. King, Elvin Bishop, John Lee Hooker, etc.]
Robert Kennedy is a Hammond organist and pianist born and raised in the American South who has lived and worked in the San Francisco bay area since 1988. He played piano in the Stanford University Jazz Band and studied jazz piano with the great jazz pianist, band director, and educator Bill Bell.
Robert was a founding member of the groups Hip Pocket Jazz Quintet and Double Funk Crunch, and has had the pleasure of playing venues such as Yoshi's, the Boom Boom Room, Doc's Lab, the Agenda Lounge (back in the day), and the SFJAZZ Miner Auditorium, and has shared stages with renowned players such as Nancy Wright, Calvin Keys, Will Weston, Terrence Brewer, and many more, playing jazz, blues, R&B, and rock and roll.
On his 2015 release Big Shoes, he debuted as a leader playing Hammond B-3 organ, and his new album Closer to Home is set for release in January, 2018 .
Among his many inspirations Robert counts the playing of Jack McDuff, Billy Childs, Larry Goldings, Herbie Hancock, and Tony Monaco.

The MY18 Levante made its world premiere at the 2017 Frankfurt Motorshow with a new range strategy and an array of hi-tech features, including Electric Power Steering and the addition of new active functions to the existing driving assistance systems.
The car's design combines coupé lines with interior space for five people, while achieving best-in-class aerodynamic efficiency with a drag coefficient of just 0.31. Complementing the technical sophistication and inspired aerodynamic design is an electric Air Shutter in the front grille.
The interior design features an array of innovative solutions in line with Levante's SUV character, with an extra focus on sportiness in the new GranSport trim.
The dashboard and the central console are designed to accommodate the 8.4" Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) display, the driving modes button cluster, the user-friendly, aluminium rotary knob and the air suspension height setup switch.
The Levante is near the top of its class in terms of interior space. The rear seats comfortably accommodate three passengers and provide extremely generous headroom. The luggage compartment has a versatile load space of 580 litres, which is ideal for large items.
Maranello-built twin-turbo V6 petrol engine
The Maserati twin-turbo V6 engine featuring the latest Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology forms the beating heart of the Levante. The engine was designed by Maserati Powertrain, in conjunction with the Ferrari Powertrain development team, and is manufactured in Maranello exclusively for Maserati.
This latest-generation Euro 6-compliant engine is powerful, exciting to drive and eco-friendly, thanks to the Auto Start-Stop function.
The high-efficiency Maserati V6 petrol engine features low-inertia parallel twin turbos, double continuous cam phasers for each cylinder head and high-pressure (200 bar) fuel injection.
The 3.0-litre 350 hp engine has been designed to offer an outstanding driving experience along with low fuel consumption. It delivers 500 Nm torque from 1,750 rpm up to 4,750rpm. Equipped with this V6 engine, the Levante reaches 0-100 km/h in just 6.0 seconds and has a top speed of 251 km/h. Its combined consumption is 10.7 l/100 km on the NEDC test cycle, with 249 g/km of CO2 emissions.
All versions of the Levante are fitted with the same eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and standard mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD).
The Maserati Q4 Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive comes as standard in all versions of the Levante. It is based on an electronically-controlled multi-plate wet clutch, installed into a transfer case that is linked by a driveshaft to the front axle.
The system is developed to deliver a typical Maserati rear-wheel drive experience, even in low-grip road conditions. It acts on demand by transferring traction to the front wheels with an immediate response. In a matter of 150 milliseconds, it can alter the front/rear torque split from 0:100% to 50:50%.
The Levante is the only car in its class equipped with a mechanical LSD at the rear axle. Fitted as standard, it guarantees optimal traction in all driving situations. The asymmetric locking feature offers 25% lock-up under power and 35% under release.
The torque-vectoring function has been further developed for the Levante to increase the SUV's sportiness and driving pleasure. Whilst performing a cornering manoeuvre, the system distributes more torque to the outer wheels by applying a slight braking force to the inner wheels.
Based on the evolution of the Ghibli/Quattroporte platform, the chassis has been developed to offer unique on-road driving dynamics and competitive off-road capabilities, combined with supreme riding comfort and day-to-day practicality.
The Maserati of SUVs was engineered to excite the sport-focused drivers by making extensive use of lightweight materials, as well as boasting an ideal 50:50 weight distribution and the segment's lowest centre of gravity.
The aluminium double-wishbone, five-link suspension layout comprises standard Air Springs and electronically-controlled Skyhook shock absorbers.
Apart from the obvious benefits, such as the improvement of comfort and active safety, the air suspension contributes to the reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, thanks to the lowering of the car and the reduced aerodynamic drag at medium to high speeds.
The pneumatic system provides six different height levels. The driver can alter the ride height via a rocker switch or by choosing different driving modes on the central console. The height variation from the lowest position to the highest is 75 mm – up to 85 mm with the Park level included.
The 350 hp Levante version is equipped with 2-piston 48 mm floating calipers working on 345 mm x 32 mm ventilated discs at the front. The rear brakes are the same with the 430 hp version but without drilled discs.
The MY18 Levante has adopted Electric Power Steering in place of hydraulic power steering. EPS improves the car's handling and comfort, better supports the driving modes, and enables the newly- introduced active ADAS functions. Last but not least, EPS retains the razor-sharp steering feel expected of any Maserati.
Levante was the first Maserati model to feature Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Forward Collision Warning Plus (FCW Plus), Advanced Brake Assist system (ABA), Lane Departure Warning system and Surround View Camera.
An enhanced ADAS package is optionally available with the MY18 Levante, which includes new active functions such as Highway Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist, as well as Traffic Sign Recognition.

Alumni News
Documentary featuring alumna Angie Scioli gaining national notice
July 31, 2017
A documentary film featuring alumna Angie Panel Scioli (A.B.Ed. '93, MAT '00) is attracting renewed attention, screening at film festivals around the country.
"Teacher of the Year" follows Scioli, a teacher in Raleigh's Leesville High School, during the 2013-14 school year. It shows her juggling the demands of her job and her family, while also working as an advocate for changes to policies affecting education.
The News & Observer of Raleigh wrote about the film in a story published online July 31.
The film has been profiled in The Atlantic, Huffington Post and on WUNC's "The State of Things." It has been shown at film festivals around North Carolina and around the country.
Scioli has become an activist on education issues, helping lead the Red4EdNC advocacy group. Earlier in July, she wrote a column in The News & Observer entitled "What else can I do to get the school supplies my students need?" that examined how little funding there is for books and other classroom supplies.
The National Humanities Center in Research Triangle Park is streaming the film online, with a webinar panel discussion on Aug. 2. Teachers who participate in the webinar may earn continuing education credits.
The film also features commentary from School of Education faculty member Jim Trier.

MSNBC has a poll up about how people think the President is doing so far. Far better run polls than this have said people are generally happy with what he's done, yet 47% are giving him an F. Go and vote and counteract these douchebags. :|
Update: As of 3/13 the results are as follows:
He gets an A 52%
He gets a B 9.4%
He gets a C 3.2%
He gets a D 6.2%
He gets an F 29%
Somehow, I'm willing to bet this is slightly more accurate.

Building on the Best programme hits one-year anniversary
The Building on the best programme has reached its one-year anniversary. The programme brings together 10 NHS Trusts across England and recently added three more in Scotland and aims 'to provide the support, knowledge and leadership so that everyone approaching end of life in hospital will receive quality of care that is safe and respects their personal wishes and needs'. Building on the best is a partnership led by the National Council for Palliative Care, working closely with Macmillan Cancer Support, NHS England and NHS Improvement. It is funded by Macmillan Cancer Support.
Building on the best was launched in late March 2016, with a two-day residential event for staff from the 10 acute Trusts across England. The 10 Trusts were selected for their existing strong track record in delivering high quality end of life care. Hospitals in Scotland are also participating in their own parallel programmes, supported by the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care.
The programme will run until March 2018. At that point it is hoped that the sites will continue to work with each other in a 'community of practice'. In addition to this, learning from the programme and service improvement will be shared with hospitals across England. The programme will be fully evaluated, and the lessons learnt, case studies and emerging best practice will be made available for wider dissemination.
Staff from the 10 sites take part in regular WebEx meetings to share and learn from one another, and have also met at a one-day conference after the initial gathering and smaller cluster events. The emerging community of practice across the participating sites has been one of the factors driving the programme forward. The community of practice has proven so popular that it is expected to continue beyond March 2018, enabling staff to collaborate through the evaluation period and beyond.
Claire Henry, Chief Executive of the NCPC said "it has been great to see the energy and enthusiasm when these groups get together. Each trust was chosen because it was already doing good work in end of life care, but each of them is great in different ways. By bringing them together they have could support each other and learn from one another, and we have could learn from them all.
"I'm sure that over the final 18 months of the programme we will see this accelerate. What comes out of this will be of benefit to patients everywhere."
Building on the best focuses on four key topic areas for improvement: making information more accessible to patients and their families, to enable shared decision making; taking the opportunities offered by outpatient appointments to discuss advance and anticipatory care planning; improving the handover of information and records as people move between acute and secondary care; and improving pain and symptom management. Each trust is concentrating on different combinations of these four, depending on their existing experience, the local context and the priorities already set by Trust quality improvement plans.
The changes that emerge from the programme will be focused on what matters from a patient perspective, and will see trusts engaging more with people with experience to help develop improvement plans.

I believe I have had the disease for 2 years, but it became clear to me only 4 months ago. My question is for an expert.
I have been experiencing the following symptoms non stop since the beginning of winter: tingling all over my body, aching & stiff joints, muscle twitches and spasms, pain all over my body in fingers and legs, left calf cramp, stabbing pains, cognitive issues a constant buzzing sensation in my ears, vertigo, chronic visual impairment,painful lower back, burning sensations.
Now I have been to a neurologist and of course I got treated like I didn't have MS. I had an MRi done with and without contrast and also a spinal MRI without contrast. No lesions showed up HOWEVER just before I was due to get my MRi with contraat I was so fed up with the pain and symptoms that I took some oral prednisolone..I actually felt it working in an area of my brain and I believe it reduced some inflammation there. I think this may have altered my MRI with contrast results. So here I am still enduring these symptoms non stop and I have no proof of diagnosis, I know I need a treatment ASAP but I can't get one.
Can anyone give me some advice on what to do next?? I am seriously contemplating suicide because of this, I feel pain everyday and have not been able to function for 4 months straight! Is there any other sort of testing that I should push for??
Thank you Jessica from Australia
Dear Jessica,
There are many causes for the symptoms you mention besides MS. It is important to find a doctor who tells you what you have, not what you do not have. The first thing to push for is an explanation for your symptoms. This will in turn lead to an appropriate treatment. If necessary, enlist the help of your primary care doctor to have a direct conversation with the neurologist regarding the differential diagnosis and management of your condition. By the way, oral prednisolone will not substantially alter the appearance of your MRI scan if you have MS.

2017 NBA Draft Odds
Have you swung by Cappers Picks today looking for 2017 NBA Draft Handicapping Odds? You're in the right place! You know how they call the summer months the NBA offseason? "Offseason" is a bold-faced lie. Since the 2017 NBA Finals came to its inevitable Warriors-dominated conclusion, the supposed off time has been as eventful as ever.
Handicapping 2018 NBA Gambling Future Lines
We've had rumors involving superstars such as Paul George, Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry, and we've already had a major trade as far as the draft is concerned.
With the draft in mind, here's a look at odds for prospects going No. 1 overall, per Bovada, as well as which players we think will go where in the lottery.
2017 NBA Draft Handicapping Odds: Markelle Fultz (-5000)
With Boston dealing it's No. 1 pick to the Philadelphia 76ers for No. 3 and future first-rounders, Markelle Fultz is all but guaranteed to be 2017's top selection.
The guard out of Washington has won over the hearts of Sixers fans for a reason. For starters, fan favorite Joel Embiid has already deemed him part of the infamous "process."
But there's also the James Harden comparisons, incredible scoring ability and stat-stuffing tendencies—not to mention his size at the point guard position.
If Philly has been missing anything during this "process" it's a long-term, franchise-saving point guard.
With Fultz, they have that officially on board.
Placing your bet elsewhere is a fool's wager.
2017 NBA Draft Handicapping Odds: Lonzo Ball (+1200)
Lonzo Ball comes in at No. 2 as far as first-pick odds are concerned, and that makes sense. He's a jaunt behind Fultz, but he's also the widely presumed second pick to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Not only have we heard L.A. talk about its fascination when it comes to the UCLA product (as well as his outspoken (if not obnoxious at times) father, LaVar), but the kid is a potential long-term option at the point guard spot—something the Lakers have needed despite the showing they've gotten from D'Angelo Russell.
If the Lakers draft Ball, they'll have a Jason Kidd-like player to build around for more than a decade to come.
His shot is funky at this point in the process, but that's not a bad player comparison considering the former is a Hall of Famer and he's being drafted by one of the greatest of all time, Magic Johnson.
2017 NBA Draft Handicapping Odds: Jayson Tatum (+5000)
If the Boston Celtics still had possession of the No. 1 pick, Jayson Tatum would be in play. General Manager Danny Ainge was likely to still pick Fultz, but he's made it clear he likes the Duke product.
At this point in the process, the biggest debate in the draft comes down to what will the Celtics do at No. 3: take Tatum or Kansas Jayhawk Josh Jackson.
Both offer incredible upside, but while Jackson may have the best immediate upside, Tatum could very well be the better prospect as far as long-term production is concerned.
Is Tatum going to go No. 1? Not at this point in the process.
But if he falls past the Celtics at No. 3, don't expect him to escape the top 5.
2017 NBA Draft Handicapping Odds: Any Other Player (+700)
Josh Jackson is a popular pick for No. 3 overall to the Boston Celtics. Guys like Malik Monk, De'Arron Fox and Jonathan Isaac should round out the rest of the top five or six. All of these prospects are great.
But to pick them to go first in this year's draft? You'd be foolishly optimistic to place money on their names.
Fultz is set to go No. 1, and there's a virtual impossibility that he goes anywhere else.
Here's a look at how we think the lottery will play out.
2017 NBA Draft Handicapping Odds: Lottery Predictions
- Philadelphia 76ers: Markelle Fultz
- Los Angeles Lakers: Lonzo Ball
- Boston Celtics: Jayson Tatum
- Phoenix Suns: Josh Jackson
- Sacramento Kings: De'Aaron Fox
- Orlando Magic: Jonathan Isaac
- Minnesota Timberwolves: Lauri Markkanen
- New York Knicks: Frank Ntilikina
- Dallas Mavericks: Malik Monk
- Sacramento Kings: Zach Collins
- Charlotte Hornets: Luke Kennard
- Detroit Pistons: OG Anunoby
- Denver Nuggets: Dennis Smith Jr.
- Miami Heat: Harry Giles

We all have a different way of putting a layout together. I definitely have a process and thought it might be interesting to write it down and share it with you.
I start with pictures. Sometimes, there's a moment that I want to capture and scrap, like my daughter doing her homework or my son cuddling with his new cat. Sometimes, I want to capture an outing or an event. My son is almost 11 now (Wow! Where did the time go?) and there are fewer events to capture and fewer moments when he wants to have his picture taken. I was pretty lucky to join him and his Cub Pack to visit a Royal Canadian Navy ship, the HMCS Ville de Québec.
I took 63 pictures.

I added grey cardstock which looked a little plain so I jazzed it up with modelling paste and sprays. The thing with sprays is that you never know what you'll get! I dabbed a bronze spray on the modelling paste, added blotches of silver spray and dripped some black spray to fill in some of that white space.
The paper from the Portfolio collection reminded me of doilies until I glued it down with my photos. Then, it reminded me of gears so I added some embellishments from Prima/Finnabair's Mechanicals collection and wood gears from Bo Bunny that I sprayed with the same bronze spray I used on the modelling paste.
I love letter stickers, but the bare chipboard ones from America Crafts are my all-time favourite. I dabbed these with black soot distress stain, which gave them a faded black/charcoal look. Distress Stains are also my new favourite to ink the edges of my paper.
Here is the final result. The photo doesn't show all of the spraying I did to fill in that white space. You'll have to trust me that this one looks awesome!

Scamozzi, Vincenzo
In the late 1570s he travelled to Rome and Southern Italy, visiting Rome on at least three more occasions in 1585–6 and the 1590s. In 1580 he published engravings of Roman thermae, and later prepared commentaries for various topographical prints of Rome as Discorsi sopra le Antichità di Roma (Discourses on the Antiquities of Rome—1582 and 1583). Around this time he produced designs for the Theatine Church of San Gaetano, Padua, and won the design competition for the Procuratie Nuove, Piazza San Marco, Venice (1592—completed in 1663 by Longhena). The vast Procuratie elevation is based on Sansovino's Library of St Mark (which Scamozzi was at that time completing), but it has an extra storey (not part of Scamozzi's plans) based on a design by Palladio. He also worked on Palladio's Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice, and designed the fixed architectural stage-sets for Palladio's Teatro Olimpico, Vicenza (1584–5), an elaborate construction using tricks of perspective and illusion. He designed a similar theatre at Sabbioneta in 1588, and wrote a treatise on perspective and scenography (Dei Teatri e delle Scene—c.1574), which does not appear to have survived.
Scamozzi toured Central Europe and France (1599–1600), making an unexecuted design for the Cathedral of Sts Rupert and Virgil at Salzburg. Santino Solari retained the apsidal transepts and certain other features derived from Palladio's Il Redentore and San Giorgio Maggiore in the realized scheme (commenced 1614). Scamozzi designed and built the Hospital and Church of San Lazzaro dei Mendicanti (1601–36), and the Palazzo Contarini on the Grand Canal (1608–16), both in Venice.

Dear First Pres,
I am delighted to share with you what God is doing in and through FPC in the ministry areas I oversee. You may recall I oversee (with Elders) the Community Growth Committee which includes the areas of Men's Ministry, Young Adults, College Group, Adult Ed Hour, Community Groups and Wednesday Nights@FPC. Let me share a couple of stories from these ministry areas.
The first comes from my weekly Bible study with students on the Fresno State University and Fresno Pacific University campuses. I am always amazed and thankful to God for the ways he is growing the faith of these students. Waves are calmed, demons are cast out, the blind seeing, the deaf hearing, those who are dead are being raised to life and we only made it to chapter 6 in our inductive study.
In each section we ask the question, what are people like before they encounter Jesus and what are people like after encountering Jesus? Reading our Bible, students see that when people encounter Jesus their lives are changed, transformed and renewed. Sometimes we see someone who was dead and becomes alive or someone who is possessed by a demon now in their right mind. At other times people who are living in shame from their ailment are suddenly and publicly healed and identified as one of God's people.
Yet beyond good study of the Biblical text we ask the question: What does this mean for our life here and now? I hear students articulate that they now have a greater understanding that Jesus can control the weather and because we know that, we can trust him in other areas as well. Other students have grown in their faith that Jesus can bring healing in their lives. Others now understand even more what it means to follow Jesus, just as the disciples were called and left everything to follow Jesus.
As we end each week in prayer, I hear the students intercede to God the Father on behalf of their peers. Every week I am blessed to receive the prayers of these college students as they pray for my ministry to the rest of the congregation. And only God can get the glory for answering their prayers for patience, for good test scores, school presentations, and reconciled relationships.
Every month Lisa and I have gained a wonderful glimpse of the church as we have attended 5 of the 7 Community Groups. (Clovis West, I look forward to seeing you Sunday!) At each we've had a wonderful time getting to know people in a much smaller context. These communities have brought me encouragement and delight in what God is doing in and throughout our city. Again it's the prayer time when I hear members pray and intercede for each other to our most high God that I am so thankful for the body of FPC. In each of the Community Groups I have attended people talk about the connections that they've made with others at FPC they never knew lived in their neighborhood.
Lastly, I'm excited about joining the eight other guys who will travel down to Mexico with me for the Men's Mexico build. Each of these men, made in the image of God, bought with a price with hearts that desire to love and serve are giving up a lot to serve the least of these. I know the trip will be long, and the border crossing may test our patience, the sun may beat down with intensity. But I will be glad to be sweating and swinging a hammer and laying cement with men who know the Lord, men who will encourage me, as I encourage them, to work hard and build whatever structure Amor has us build.
Thank you again, friends, for welcoming Lisa and me here to Fresno. We are glad to call FPC our church home and look forward to many more stories of God's goodness experienced among us.
Peace & Joy,

First post Picked up a new (last Nov) PAR223 and because of personal reasons just got around to giving it a good look and want to get to the range to get it up and going. One issue, the rear takedown pin is a bear to operate. I get it's new and needs to loosen up so i worked it in/out a bunch of times and opens ok but putting it back in needs a hammer (rubber!) to pop it back in the last bit into the receiver hole. Is this normal and give it more time to break in or should I give Troy a call? EDIT: so I took a real close look, tested witha sized brass punch and is as i thought, the upper lug doesnt align with the receiver holes. Just a hair but enough....sent Troy a note. Anyone else have this/ just wondering if its a freak thing or there was a run of these.
Had exactly the same with my PAR 223. When I picked up the rifle the sales guy wanted to demonstrate the takedown (AR15s are not the order of the day where I live) and the problem became obvious. The rifle then spent 5 minutes with a gunsmith in their workshop - so I don't know exactly what was done. .... but you are not the only one who has seen the problem.
Forgot about this.... I did get a hold of Troy and they were awseome. Sent me a prepaid label, sent it back and got it back all less then a week. Problem fixed, their CS is great.

Tonight, the contestants sang songs from the year they were born. I'm so glad the producers went with this theme instead of jumping on the trilogy bandwagon and producing American Idol Butchers the Beatles III.
Ramiele Malubay, "Alone": It was my favorite from her, but not the best of the competition. I like her, and I want her to do well. Maybe she'll stick around longer and surprise us with something fabulous.
Jason Castro, "Fragile": He should not talk. He should just sing and look pretty, oh and play the guitar. When I watch him sing, he reminds me of those people who sit on the sidewalk barefoot and sing folk songs with a guitar case open in front of him. (I totally typed that before Simon said it on the show. That's weird. I'm beginning to think like Simon. Oh no!) I'd throw money in his guitar case if I saw him playing in the subway, though.
Sayesha Mercado, "If I Were Your Woman": Enough with the baby cry. It's annoying. She brought it with the song, though. She gets better every time. I agree with Randy: "It was blazing hot." On a sidenote, is it just me, or does Paula pick a new "dark horse" every week? First it was Alaina, and we all know what happened there. I hope it's not bad luck for Sayesha.
Chikezie, "If Only for One Night": I was just starting to like Chikezie, but I didn't really like this one. Don't talk back to the judges, Chikezie. It only works for people like Danny Noriega. Otherwise, it's just annoying.
Brooke White, "Every Breath You Take": Her parents are just way too pretty. I am usually creeped out by this song, but I liked her performance of it. It was almost good enough to make me forget about the fact that she started out on the wrong key and then had to start over. She handled it well, though. Chikezie, take note of how Brooke handles the judges' criticism. The only thing annoying about her is that she is almost too perfect.
Michael Johns, "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions": He's 29. I'm glad they raised the age limit for this show. I could have done without "We Will Rock You." It was a little cheesy. I did enjoy "We are the Champions." That song reminds me of teen 80s/early 90s movies, and Michael Johns reminds me of an 80s/early 90s teen movie star. He had all the girls screaming. Simon saw "star potential," and I agree. Hmm, "Bohemian Rhapsody," and now "We Are the Champions" … maybe MJ should stick to only singing Queen. And lets just hope, for the sake of all the women in the world, that he's not gay.
Carly Smithson, "Total Eclipse of the Heart": Carly used to look like little orphan Annie, imagine that. She did a total 180 on that one. Oh joy, she's singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart," another song that creeps me out. Watch Urban Legend, and it will creep you out, too. I don't like this song, but I still love Carly Smithson. Kudos for not talking back to the judges, but a little TMI for primetime on the bathroom thing.
David Archuleta, "You're the Voice": Finally, he talked about something other than singing in the taped piece. It's funny though, I really thought the other David would be the one to talk about his dancing experience in the interview segment. Guess not. This was not my favorite David Archuleta performance. The boy can sing, but sometimes it's a little weird for me … like tonight. Simon said, "I'd be amazed if you chose the song yourself because it's not you." Could this possibly be a nod to David Archuleta's overbearing stage dad?
Kristy Lee Cook, "God Bless the USA": I think this has been her best performance yet (it was actually good), but I still think she might go home based on previous history. At least with this song choice tonight, if it is her last one, she probably just scored herself a USO tour. My aunt has done one or two of those. (She sings better than Krisy Lee, imo.) I agree with Simon when he says, "That was the most clever song choice I have heard in years." He called it a brilliant song, even though he's a sour old Brit. Kudos for song choice, Kristy Lee (Greenwood).
David Cook, "Billie Jean": He did have a big head when he was a baby. Poor kid. At least he grew into his head. He sang "Billie Jean," not the Michael Jackson version, of course. LOVED IT! My favorite of the night. I agree with Randy, he could win it all if he keeps this up.
My top three: David Lee Cook, Michael Johns, Sayesha Mercado
My bottom three (based on tonight only): Jason Castro, Chikezie, David Archuleta (yeah, he can sing, but that performance was weird)
Who's probably going home: I think Kristy Lee may have saved herself with "God Bless the USA," that is unless America really does hold grudges. It's going to be interesting to see who does go home tomorrow. I think it may be Chikezie.

Sensor Technology Systems, Inc. (STS), a subsidiary of Steiner, announced plans to consolidate operations into an approximately 50,000 square foot facility on Newmark Drive in Miami Township, Montgomery County, Ohio.
STS designs and manufactures night vision goggles and other electro-optical products for special operations forces, defense forces, and law enforcement. Steiner recently acquired STS and will combine it with its Steiner eOptics division, currently located in California. The new organization will be located in Miami Township.
"We have been examining ways to consolidate our operations in California and Ohio, and our new facility in Miami Township gives us a logistical advantage as well as access to a motivated workforce with a strong understanding of the military," said Alan Page, General Manager of Steiner eOptics."We're grateful to Montgomery County, Miami Township, the Dayton Development Coalition and JobsOhio for showing us what this region can offer."
Oberer Companies owns the 3475 Newmark Drive facility and will begin renovations soon. The work will include tenant improvements, IT upgrades, and buildout to support the new manufacturing equipment. When complete, the updated STS facility will house 120 employees by the end of 2019. The site has ample room for future expansion.
"Miami Township is pleased we could help keep this company in the region and assist them in growing their workforce in Ohio. This project is an opportunity to redevelop underutilized space, and it aligns perfectly with our goals to bring high tech manufacturing and assembly jobs to Miami Township," said Doug Barry, Trustee President.
"STS is the latest example of how we collaborate to create and retain jobs in the Dayton Region," added Montgomery County Commission President Judy Dodge. "We worked closely with our partners at Miami Township and the Dayton Development Coalition to put forward a competitive proposal for STS and we are thrilled they selected Montgomery County for their facility."
"Steiner's new location draws on many of our region's strengths: our proximity to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a workforce that intuitively understands military and its contractors, easy access to consumers, and an affordable cost-of-living," said Jeff Hoagland, President & CEO of the Dayton Development Coalition. "The investment by STS demonstrates that our region offers a competitive advantage, and we know STS will have a bright future here."
The project's implementation remains contingent upon formal approval of workforce, equipment and other incentives from state and local organizations.
Steiner eOptics, Inc. is part of the Beretta family of companies and reflects the strong military heritage of the Steiner brand. All of Steiner eOptics' products are designed, developed, and produced in the USA and will continue to proudly carry the Made in the USA label. Steiner eOptics produces the Dual Beam Aiming Laser (DBAL®) series of laser aiming systems, including the AN/PEQ-15A and DBAL-A2®. Steiner STS (now part of the Steiner eOptics Division) is best known for one of the most advanced night vision devices, the AN/PVS-21, used by US Special Forces and elite fighting units around the world.
