water fly fishing
you just have to
This pond has become a fantastic place to fish regardless
of ability. If you are just beginning in the sport
of fly fishing, or if you have years under your belt
on all types of water you will find Root Pond to
be a special and exciting place to wet a line.
fish are big and strong.
These "football" shaped
rainbow, brown and
brook trout are so
strong they will rip
the rod right out of
your hand. The
trout range from 1
to 4 pounds with 7
pounders lurking deep
in the weed beds. They
absolutely love to
crush streamers and
the gulping dry fly
takes are very cool.
Be it a diet of crawfish
or damsels we have
no idea why these fish
are so incredibly wicked
and strong. Many of
these fish have abnormally
large girth.
Root is also
a fantastic bird sanctuary. So if you like
trout and claim to be a bird-nerd, then Root
Pond is a great fit for you.
Root Pond Guide Report, Flows and Hatches
Ice, yep Root Pond freezes over in early to late November. We look to be back on the water sometime in March.
and forecast
The trout just keep getting bigger and bigger with each season and this year we hope to have a chance at fish in the five to six pound range. Are there bigger ones? We'll just have to see. When all of our other fisheries are muddy from snowmelt, Root Pond is a perfect place to spend the day.
Fishing is pretty good with leeches and small nymphs. If the weather is still very warm we will continue to "rest" the fishery. Our main season starts at ice out (early March) and last till July 4th.
Root Pond Lake Levels
Levels are average to slightly below average for this time of year.
Root Pond Insect Hatches
Midges, cali baetis, dragon flies and damsel flies. Ants, beetles and hoppers.
and food in the system
Caddis pupa (both cased and free), caddis larva, midge larva and pupa, mayfly
nymphs, stones, worms. Creek trout also rely on terrestrials as a main food source. Hoppers, ants and beetles.
Root Pond Trophy Trout details
Most trout in Root Pond are a Donaldson-Bailey cross.
They definitely show off their steelhead traits with
long power runs and thrashing leaps. There are also
a few cutbows and brown trout lurking about.
Fly Fishing on
the Root Pond
offer full day guided float trips
on Root Pond. The
pond is deep and clear,
allowing full view
of fish cruising weed
beds, rock points and
long flats in search
of grub. We float fish the mini lake from our standard drift
boats or skiffs. This
gives the angler the
ability to spot fish,
lead the fish with
a cast and hopefully
hook and play it. We also offer
a combo trip in the
spring; fish Root Pond
in the morning, then
finish the day on the

The Taking Aim Exhibition opened at the Museum Of Photographic Arts in beautiful Balboa Park. The photos are presented in a similar way as Seattle in a large airy space, and again they look really good. Along with Graham Nash we had photographers Henry Diltz, Joel Bernstein and Chris Walter, Taking Aim book editor Michelle Dunne Marsh and Jasen Emmons,curator of the Exhibition for EMP in Seattle and co-creator of the project with Graham. The following day a cocktail party - salon was held at the home of MOPA Trustee Board President Michael Farrell with a number of serious art patron supporters of the gallery present, and chaired by Deborah Klochko, Executive Director of MOPA.
Looking back at the Seattle Opening. Amazing because there were 10 contributing photographers present: Graham Nash, Henry Diltz, Jim Marshall, Neal Preston, Chris Walter, Alice Wheeler, Jini Dellacio, Alan Messer, Joel Bernstein and Charles Peterson. Everyone had their part, this is the segment concerning my Bruce Springsteen photo, l-r here is Jim Marshall, Joel Bernstein, Graham Nash, Alan Messer, Chris Walter and Alice Wheeler.

BAE cuts 371 jobs in the UK due to declining Typhoon jet sales
BAE Systems is axing 371 jobs from its sites in Samlesbury and Warton in the UK as the defence giant is winding down production of its Typhoon jet fighters.
The redundancies come as a result of the decline in new orders for the production of the Typhoon jet fighter, which BAE expects to result in production sales dropping from £1.3 billion in 2015 to about £1.1 billion in 2016.
However, the company remains optimistic that it will secure additional orders for the aircraft having already secured a contract to deliver 28 Typhoon aircraft for the Kuwait Air Force in September.
"Overall the company is operating in an improving business environment and we continue to win new orders, with good prospects for the future," said Chief Executive Ian King.
"In the short term, action to extend the production life of Typhoon aircraft by reducing the current production rate and a charge to impair the carrying value of the Williamstown shipyard in Australia will impact the Group's 2015 results."
In relation to its business prospects in Australia, the Group welcomed the announcement by the Government of its intention to launch a naval shipbuilding strategy, but said it remained unconvinced that it will be enough to secure the long-term stability of its shipyard in Williamstown.
"It is unclear whether this initiative will be sufficient to provide for the viability of the Williamstown, Melbourne shipyard," the company said in a statement.
"With no near-term prospect of work beyond the LHD programme and Air Warfare Destroyer block manufacture, the Group has announced further headcount reductions and a consolidation of its operating divisions from 3 to 2 to reduce management costs and remain competitive. A non-cash impairment of the carrying value of the Williamstown shipyard assets will be charged to the Group's 2015 results."

And, STAY out!Posted by: Marlenus, in Salvage Notes, Today In Ironfleet
So I was chillin' in Greater Mars this morning when I noticed a new ship on scan at the about-to-vanish high-sec wormhole. A Probe. Presumably, probing.
We can't have this. Didn't this person see the No Trespassing sign?
Warped to the wormhole in my Buzzard just to have a look. Arrived in time to see the Probe warp away to a planet.
Nudged my scan probes, got a new warp in. Warped in, approached closely, bookmarked.
Went home and got my Caracal. Returned. Probe is gone.
We could play this sort of cat-and-mouse game all day. I really need to get a combat prober with enough firepower to catch and eat helpless astrometric frigates.
No worries. Probe (rather than covert ops) suggests relative lack of experience; maybe they'll get engrossed in their scanning interface somewhere? I'll keep looking.
Aha! They are back at the wormhole. This isn't good, because if they are hugging the hole, they can just jump out when I show up. Oh well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I get back in the Caracal. (Yeah, I really need to bring a better selection of PvP ships in here. My Worm would be sweet for this.)
Warp the Caracal to zero on the wormhole, sensor boosters hot. There she is! Start locking, warm up the guns and the warp disruptor, surely this isn't going to work?
[ 2009.03.31 20:44:18 ] (combat) Your group of Scourge Heavy Missile hits Wysi (Probe), doing 420.3 damage.
[ 2009.03.31 20:44:25 ] (combat) Your group of Scourge Heavy Missile hits Wysi (Probe), doing 315.6 damage.
Wow. Usually frigates are moving when I shoot at them. This one? Wasn't. Two volleys.

Wow. Corpse is 8,000 meters from the wormhole. Who sits stationary, near a wormhole but not actually close enough to jump through? I musta shot me a newbie. Hope I didn't just convince someone on their first wormhole peeping expedition that wormholes are deadly and never to be visited again!
No, wait, let's look up Wysi. Caldari Provisions, check. Age… wait, really? January of 2006? She's been playing for three months longer than me, and still got podded by a T1 cruiser?
Never, boys and girls, underestimate the power of surprise.
It turns out, "she" is kind of cute, too:
Or maybe I should say was. She's not looking so good now:

So today I have confessions to make.
Confession 1:
In a fit of irrationality, I ordered the Rachel Comey Flippant dress and Blithe tee a few weeks ago. What was I thinking? The dress fit absurdly on me, and I realized how silly it was to try to predict what I might want or be able to wear a year from now. The Blithe tee was actually rather nice, but the sheer part went too low for my clumsy self. I knew before they came that they wouldn't work, but I stubbornly refused to cancel the order. I guess I wasn't yet willing to accept certain realities. Too much madness, not enough method.
Confession 2:
I once found a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo Varinas, in my size and barely worn, for a few dollars at a local thrift store and put it back. It wasn't really my style, and I was determined not to stray from my List, but now I think that a classic piece like that would have been supremely elegant. It would have added some refinement to my wardrobe. At this moment, I could have used less method and more madness.
Confession 3:
I couldn't sleep last night. It was a mistake to eat two waffles, two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and a slice of lasagna an hour before going to bed. So I stayed up surfing as I tried to work out the attack of indigestion. With the sales going on, I came upon a few things. Eep.
Three basics from A.P.C. and a pair of Loeffler Randall Matilde boots in cuoio. Here, I hope I have achieved a balance between method and madness. Instead of the silk button down I had earlier put on my Shopping List, I think the cotton blouses are more trans-seasonal and suitable for my life. The cardigan should come in handy as a layering piece for the winter, when I live in warm sweaters. The boots I had coveted idly for many years and should work well as a transitional shoe this fall. I'll see when they arrive in the next week or so.

A crown is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.
Reasons for crowns:
What does getting a crown involve?
A crown procedure usually requires two appointments. Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom crown. A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will stay on your tooth for approximately two-three weeks until your new crown (crowns) will be fabricated by our talented dental technicians in our exclusive private in-office laboratory, Clinque Ceramics.
Expertly administered local anesthetic, (novacaine) allows Dr. Davis to comfortably prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly accept the crown. Once these details are accomplished, your temporary crown will be placed with temporary cement and your bite checked to ensure you are biting properly.
At your second appointment the temporary crown will be removed, the tooth cleaned, and your new crown will be carefully fitted to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate.
Our ceramists are expert at developing natural appearing color, shape, and esthetics which Dr. Davis will provide the artistic finishing touches for.
You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to promote a long lasting, healthy result.

Springfield Cardinals 10 at Northwest Arkansas Naturals 6 (Texas League)- May 4, 2016
It was another school day at the ballpark, this time in Springdale, home of the Northwest Arkansas Naturals. I had to leave Springfield quite early to make it for the 11:10 start. Google Maps recommends the fastest route using I-44 and I-49, but you can save 30 miles and only add five minutes by taking a straighter route along US-60 and MO-37, which I did. As an aside, Google Maps always suggests the fastest route regardless of miles driven and you should consider alternatives if you want something other than endless interstates. As it turned out, there was a bit of road work on US-60 that delayed me ten minutes, so when I arrived at the ballpark, I had no time to do a tour, particularly as the concourse was crowded with kids.
The stadium is southwest of the town of Springdale, which is itself a few miles north of Fayetteville, famous for the University of Arkansas. It was opened in 2008 to house the relocating Wichita Wranglers, and has a capacity of 7,305. From afar, it looks more like a soccer stadium with its undulating rooftops. Next to the entrance is a small rock garden that serves no particular purpose.
There is no street parking around, so you will have to fork over $3 to leave your vehicle, with the lot far enough away from the diamond to avoid any dings from foul balls The naming rights belong to a bank that operates in Arkansas and surrounding states, which also happens to be owned by Jim Walton of the Walmart Waltons.
There were no people with extra tickets, so I bought a reserved seat for $9, which happened to be surrounded by a group of kids and their teachers. Rather than infringe on their space, I moved to a slightly better location and was not disturbed for the duration.
With only about 15 minutes to first pitch and the concourse crowded with kids at the concession stands, I didn't even bother walking around until after the game, when most of these pictures were taken.
There is a Naturals Hall of Fame with one inductee per season. Incidentally, the first honoree was Clint Robinson, who is now with Washington.
The Naturals are affiliates of the Royals and there are a number of posters around showing current Royals stars along with their Naturals debut, Royals debut, and any accomplishments. Apparently the Royals won the World Series last year, an event which I do not recall.
There is a long rectangular scoreboard in right field (barely visible below) which had quite a bit of information, though player positions were not listed in the lineup, something I have never seen before. The PA guy also did not mention the player numbers when announcing the starting lineup. Minor quibbles, but they should be included. Overall, I thought this was a pretty nice, relaxed ballpark, but I wish I had more time to explore it.
The Game
Springfield was in town for a battle of Missouri MLB affiliates with Corey Baker (49th round in 2011) starting for the Cardinals, while Eric Skoglund (3rd, 2014, KC's #28 prospect) took the hill for NW Arkansas. The big news was the AA debut of Ryan O'Hearn (8th, 2014, KC's #13 prospect) who had just been promoted. The Naturals scored in the first when Hunter Dozier singled home Orlando Calixte, but both pitchers were on their game after that, at one point combining to retire 14 in a row.
In the top of the 5th, with one out and a man on first, Luis Cruz grounded to O'Hearn, who threw a bit wide to get the lead runner. For some reason, Naturals manager Vance Wilson decided to come out to have a discussion with the umpire. I couldn't believe it, not only because there was nothing to be discussed (there was no interference), but also because Wilson was disrupting Skoglund's rhythm. Obviously, I have never pitched professionally, but I did as a kid and I always felt better when in a steady rhythm. I expected Skoglund to suffer a bit with this slight delay, and sure enough he started Harrison Bader (3rd, 2015, #10 prospect for St. Louis) with a couple of balls. The next pitch was forced and Bader pounced, doubling home Cruz. The wheels came off after that as C.J. McElroy (3rd, 2011) doubled home Bader and Bruce Caldwell (15th, 2012) homered to make it 4-1. Skoglund got out of the inning without any more trouble, but his day was done and I blame Wilson for his pointless excursion. Considering he was a major league catcher, he should know better and only argue when his team is on offense.
Anyway, Estarlin Cordero pitched the next two innings for the Naturals and gave up 3 runs in each, ending any suspense. In the bottom of the ninth, NW Arkansas scored five runs, including a no-doubt homer from O'Hearn, but that only made the score less embarrassing as Springfield won 10-6. The scoreboard was turned off before I could snap a shot, something that always annoys me.
Bader, out of Florida, finished 4/5 with 2 RBI and is certain to be patrolling the outfield in St. Louis by next season at the latest. I saw his pro debut last year on Staten Island and he hit two very long homers in that game. Less than a year later and he has jumped all the way up to AA and shows no signs of slowing down, hitting .388 with five homers for Springfield. In general, AA is the best level to watch prospects against their peers, many AAA players are older and on their way down, so you don't quite get the proper comparison and it seems like Bader has all the tools to be a major league regular.

The day is almost done. For most hard-working citizens, we are a little bit fatigued, a little bit wore down, a little bit glazed over and a little bit zoned out.
But as we look back on the day's events, was it a good day?
Was it productive?
Did we go over the line and do something dramatic or ingenious?
More Versatile
Like a marathon runner, in the middle of the pack, did we accelerate with new ideas or go back even further behind?
Can we be even better, stronger, more versatile tomorrow that we did today?

First before I get into that I want to say that I'm playing catch up on all of your posts and blogs and I sure missed all my readers the past 4 days. But we had NO internet, tv, and not much time on the phone so no blogging happened but I'm back and can't wait to get caught up with all of you.
If you're new here Me Mondays are where I share about myself and things I'm going through, gone through, enjoying, working on, stories, memories, and such. So today is all about my girls trip.
Every year my best and closest girlfriends get together and do an annual trip over the weekend. These girls I've known since I was 4, a few since 2. We all graduated together in 1996, and now even though we see each other throughout the year it's usually not everyone everytime so once a year we make sure it is. I love these girls, I can tell them anything and we can pick up right where we left off, it's comfortable and natural with them. We laugh until we cry and we cry until we laugh together. Oh and nothing goes better with crying and laughing than wine. :)
This year we rented a beach house right on the beach down in Galveston. Three of us drove from the Dallas area, Two came from our hometown, Three came from Houston. Two this year couldn't make it due to sick babies and work but they were missed.
I'm the one in orange 2nd from the left
I could go on and on forever but I won't bore you with ramblings but the reason I'm sore is because a few of us were cheerleaders so of course we had to do cartwheels on the beach and well this 32 year old body wasn't ready for that and I'm tired because we stayed up til 3 most nights and all night the last night and well once again this 32 year old body isn't use to that, but every sore muscle and tiredness I feel was worth it!
Thanks for letting me share with you a little about my girls. Do you have a group of friends you do something like this with? I'd love the hear all about it.
Happy Monday Ya'll.

Girls who spend all their time 'taking the perfect selfie' are making themselves ill, says Absolutely Fabulous star Jennifer Saunders
The actress's warning comes weeks after a medical report
SPENDING too much time taking the perfect selfie is making girls ill, claims Absolutely Fabulous star Jennifer Saunders.
The screenwriter and actress, 58, claims she hates that people keep trying to copy Kim Kardashian.
In an interview with Event magazine, Jennifer said: "I hate the way it makes girls think they should look.
"That Kim Kardashian look, it's so automaton.
"Girls spend longer and longer in the bloody bathroom, looking in the mirror, taking the selfies."
And it's not just the time spent in front of the mirror that is bothering Jennifer, who suggested that taking selfies could be bad for your health.
She said: "Girls are now getting ill because all they spend their lives doing is finding the perfect selfie."
It seems that the Ab Fab actress might even be onto something, as snapping regular selfies could be a sign of mental health problems.
Last month, medical experts warned that selfie obsession could indicate damage to the snapper's psychological well-being and trouble in their relationships with other people.

During the interview, Jennifer also revealed that she wouldn't be working on any more episodes of Absolutely Fabulous.
Even though fans saw Edina and Patsy return to our screens for a film earlier this year, the creator has no future plans to continue with the comedy series.
She said: "I'm not doing anything more with Ab Fab. That. Is. It.
"I can't see the point of doing anything else with [Ab Fab]. It just takes so long. There's lots of other stuff I'd like to do. Plus, I'd like to spend time with my grandchildren."

Northbrook, IL – April 19, 2005 – Beyond-IP, a leader in network vulnerability scanning, today announced that Michael Kiefer will be a featured keynote speaker at the SATO Conference on April 28, 2005. Kiefer will be interviewed as part of an interactive discussion titled: "The Unintended Consequences of Sarbanes Oxley – Improving Network Security (and shareholder value) in an Era of Regulations" on April 28, 2005 at 11:30AM EST.
This interactive session will introduce the concept of ongoing network scanning as a critical piece of risk management for officers in publicly held companies. Without ongoing assurance that all financial systems are secure, executives have no way to attest to the strength of current controls.
With the addition of other government legislation such as HIPAA and GLBA it is clear that proper security measures play an ever-increasingly critical role in the executive suite. For non-technical executives, many important questions will be answered such as; how to strike a healthy balance between government regulations and business prerogatives, how to ensure that government doesn't "regulate business out of business," and how to balance budget with overall security needs.
The SATO Conference brings together top minds from the Security and Technology industries to explore practical solutions for improving security postures across the enterprise. For more information, visit www.beyond-ip.com. To schedule a meeting with Beyond-IP executives, contact Ben Bradley at 630-221-9844.

Hello, everyone!!!!
Today, I am here with my first ever product review. It is all about Gillette Satin Care sensitive skin with Aloe vera gel.
Before starting, let me share my experience with shaving. I always had the strange fear of shaving. I feel like my legs are really itchy and dry after shaving. I previously used soap to produce the lather for the smooth shaving process. I was not satisfied with the result, so I was in search of good shaving cream. When I was in search of good shaving creams for women, I found this gel.
Product Description : Gillette satin care sensitive skin shaving gel with aloe vera is specially designed for sensitive skin. The lightly fragranced gel, with advanced lubricants, provides incredible razor glide for protection against nicks and cuts.
Directions : Gently rub shave gel over wet skin to produce a rich lather for a smooth shave. For great results, use with Gillette venus razors.
Price : Rs. 225/- for 195gms.
My Personal Experience with this product :
This product made my shaving experience more easy <3. This shaving gel comes in a large steel can with a blend of beautiful colors and pleasing fragrance. The can has a nozzle which is easy to use and will release the gel when pressed gently on the top. This shaving gel is in blue color and turns into a creamy white foam when rubbed onto our skin. The foam is very soft and smells amazing. The foam forms a thick layer onto the skin which effectively prevents any nicks and cuts while shaving. The razor glides very smoothly over the creamy foam.
The aloe vera in it helps in moisturizing my sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate my skin even after shaving. This will not leave any residue after rinsing. I do not need to apply any moisturizer like before as I feel my skin is smooth and silky. I use this shaving gel along with Gillette venus razor. This combo gives me a perfectly smooth shave every time.
Pros :
- Produces rich lather. So, a small amount of gel enough.
- The fragrance is amazing . I love the mild fragrance.
- Suitable for sensitive skin.
- Gives a smooth and moisturized skin after a shave.
Cons :
- The product is not travel-friendly as the size of the can is big.
PPD Rating : 4.8 / 5
Final Words : This is an amazing shaving gel. I love this product. I do recommend for every girl out there to buy this one if you are shaving and especially if you have sensitive skin.
Happy Shaving Girls !!!

Essential Aspects To Put In Mind When Picking A General Supervisor In The Contemporary Business World
Numerous critical choices have to be made when it comes to ensuring the satisfaction of any construction plans and picking and working with the most competent and efficient supervisor is one of them. It is evident that every individual planning to put their construction plans to reality can do anything and everything they can to ensure that whoever they end up working with is the best decision they made to give them a guarantee of the exact plan they had and even something better. The client should dedicate reasonable time and other relevant resources to help them connect and end up with the right and most suitable general contractor who is the direct determinant of not only successful but also satisfactory results at the end of the process. Since the service seekers in need of the professionals spent so much time and resources when picking the general supervisors to oversee their projects, it is vital for the former to make use of some techniques that will help them make the selection quick and satisfactory. Numerous techniques can help the client to choose the best general contractor in the market as long as they are used effectively some of which are as discussed below.
All clients today are keen on the expertise held by any service providers they choose to work with today and the same applies for the contractors as well. It is also essential to note that most contemporary service seekers associate one's experience with the time span they have been in existence in the business market. It is also worthwhile to know about the contractors' level of competencies and proficiencies as it affects the type and quality of results one gets in the long run. The client should not fail to make an alignment of the contractor's skills versus the needs to be fulfilled and determine how the results may look like at the end. Apart from all that is discussed above, it is also vital for the service seeker to determine the construction manager's past successes as it gives one the real picture of what awaits them at the end of the process.
A good construction manager should have all the required tools, equipment and materials at their disposal and in the best quality as well. The accessibility to the right resources not only guarantees one of the high-quality outcomes but also provides a continuous flow of the project the moment it resumes as there will be no significant breaks resulting from lack of the required assets. Since construction is a complex and extensive task that cannot be successfully and timely accomplished by one individual, the contractor should also have a reliable and robust network of subcontractors and support staff.

Sjoerd Gehring has written an article for the October 4, 2017 edition of The Muse and published in Business Insider that discusses questions the candidate asks of the employer. Aside from asking the typical ones like "when will I hear back from you?" or "what's a normal day like?" he discusses 6 questions candidates ask that could really perk up the interviewers ears. It's entirely appropriate and encouraged to ask questions-you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. So be smart and ask questions that will grab their attention and make a great impression.
Here's a small sampling of the types of questions he's been asked in interviews –
- Why does this role matter to the company's growth? This question can indicate to the employer that the candidate is interested in looking beyond the current situation and how he or she might fit into the company's future plans. Will this be a high or a low profile position? What will be expected of the individual who fills this role?
- Is it possible to meet some of the people I'll be working with? As the author suggests, cultural fit and team dynamics are important to the success of any company. You want to be able to enjoy working with people you'll be interacting with on a regular basis.
- What do you like most about working here? This answer can be very indicative of how they truly feel about working at this company. How they respond can be a great indicator of whether this position is a good fit for you.

High-Level SDG Action Event on Education
On Wednesday 28th June 2017, representatives of the IBVM NGO attended The General Assembly Action Event at the United Nations, where a full day of panels aimed at achieving the 4th Sustainable Development Goal took place.
The speakers at the Event could be characterized as both enthusiastic and determined. They advocated for a vital change in perception of education. Education is crucial to sustainable development world wide. Education lays the foundation for future generations, who must live in a world facing issues of climate change and inequality, to become leaders of positive and sustainable change. Education is a human right, which opens doors to innovation, employment, gender equality and many other goals that the UN wishes to achieve by 2030.
The dialogues that ensued highlighted the 3 major challenges with the international standard of education.
1. Access- 263 million young people, and 600 million adults/youth (60% being women) don't have access to education. Education is not seen as the human right that it is.
2. Quality- nearly 40% of students leave primary school without having mastered any basic math or language skills. Education needs extensive resources, training and a modernization of curriculum and learning model.
3. Governance- A holistic vision is needed. Whilst a top-down approach is still pertinent to ensure adequate funding for education, there needs to be more collaboration with those on the grass roots level: teachers and parents engaging in deep dialogue with key decision makers.
So…what is the solution to the issue of access and quality?
Innovation, though commonly used in reference to technology, can take forms in many ways. A representative from WISE (World Innovation Summit for Education) talked about innovation in the form of a curriculum change, a change in standardized testing, and development in physical school facilities.
Leslee Udwin, British filmmaker and human rights activist, passionately spoke about the need for innovation of school curriculum. This was a point that really stood out to the room. School must teach value based social and emotional learning. Education can be a tool to change the mindset young people, teaching them how to exist in the world in a peaceful way.
Technology can be used as a conduit for the outcome of learning, and this was an issue discussed in the second dialogue of the event. Online universities provide high quality, affordable and easily accessed education for all individuals without discrimination.
It should be noted that Technological tools should not replace a traditional schooling system. An iPad cannot fulfil the multifaceted role of a compassionate and empathetic teacher. In this media revolution we find ourselves in, the centrality of teachers should not be undermined.
The third panel was geared towards the planning of education in humanitarian situations. In the face of disaster, education is the least resilient or prioritised. As such, the General Assembly proposed the Three I's for moving forward:
Invest long term funding focusing on the planning and preparedness of schools and children.
Improve quality of education to meet the SDGs learning outcome targets. This means building teach capacity and employing a mechanism to measure progress.
Include- every child has the right to effective education.
Leonor Briones, Secretary of the Department of Education of the Republic of the Philippines, provided a powerful anecdote on her experience as a child, writing on banana leaves for school in the wake of a catastrophic natural disaster. It was the empowering force of learning that helped her get through the immense hardship.
A key takeaway from this event would be that education is a key which opens doors to all the other Sustainable Development Goals. As such, the United Nations is and will continue to work towards
ensuring inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.
The United Nations' Global Plan of Action to Combat Human Trafficking
On Friday 23rd of June 2017, two representatives from the IBVM NGO the United Nations attended an informal interactive stakeholder hearing in New York, where speakers and in-room participates engaged in a dialogue centered on the practical steps which need to be taken to combat the issue of human trafficking.
It was both a moving and informative hearing, with a wide range of voices being heard and celebrated to ensure the formulation of the Plan of Action encapsulates the vast nature of this international issue.
Trafficking of persons is a gross human rights violation and a major barrier to sustainable development. This is why the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is paramount to this discussion. Targets 5.2, 8.7 and 16.2 specifically touch on the the gender inequality and social insecurity that needs to be addressed if we are to move towards prevention.
An eye opening address from Withelma "T" Oritz Walker Pettigrew, a victim of sex-trafficking, spoke openly about the importance of having those who have endured such trauma to be a part of the system that helps other survivors into the recovery stage. Moreover, she honed in on the need for a change in focus. From now on, a SURVIVER CENTRED APPROACH is essential. Using resources to educate, empower and take legal action for victims of human trafficking is a far more-long term solution, and should be universalised to help prevent such atrocities from happening in the first place.
A key quote from the conference was from Kay Buck, Executive Director of the Coalition Against Slavery and Trafficking (CAST), where she said "this generation of survivors will be our last". CAST advocates for ground-breaking policies and legislation that goes against the unfair misidentification of victims as criminals. CAST takes a holistic approach to support thousands of survivors, providing counselling, legal resources, housing, education, leadership training and mentorship.
It was reiterated countless times that the heinous crime of human trafficking occurs as a result of numerous social factors and pre-existing vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. These include gender inequality, lack of education and poverty.
The solution to these problems are vast and multifaceted, with the targets of the SDGs doing much to outline the practical steps that need to be taken. Other strategies touched on in the hearing include:
- A world wide curriculum in every school about the risks of the trafficking industry
- A change in legislation to a survivor centred approach- ending the penalisation of victims
- Address the demand for cheap labour and commercialised sex- the business supply chain that exists today is fuelling this demand
- Allocation of SIGNIFICANT resources, not just the minimum funding
- Multidisciplinary approach to the prosecution of traffickers and the retraining of law enforcement.
- Frame the outreach to the wider public that their donations to this cause is a "life saving mechanism".
- Empowerment of victims through therapy and legal action
- Plan a review mechanism for the global plan, to assess progress
- Having crisis management plans in place for potential natural disasters, as these types of events are directly linked to the increase in human trafficking incidences, due to the desperation it causes. In the wake of a natural catastrophe, an overwhelm at the situation leads law enforcement and authority figures to neglect those members who are at risk of trafficking. Prioritising vulnerable people to this industry in the wake of such disasters is a major preventative measure.

The top-10 female high school athletes from the 2012-13 season were voted on by the Glendale News-Press sports department. These are selections 2-10. See the Thursday edition for the Female Athlete of the Year.
2 Madison Witt, Flintridge Prep swimming, sophomore – The diving phenom picked up the biggest victory of her prep career when she upset three-time defending CIF Southern Section champion Anika Lenz of Pasadena Poly at the Division III Diving Finals at Riverside Community College on May 7.
Witt outlasted the UCLA-bound Lenz (486.75) by scoring 538 points in capturing the title. The victory snapped a five-match losing streak to Lenz and also helped Witt later garner All-American honors.
Previous to the Division III championship, Witt finished runner-up to Lenz at the Prep League finals at Pasadena Poly on April 27.
"I wasn't expecting to win; I was just hoping to get top three, that was my goal," Witt said at Riverside. "Winning was just the cherry on top for me."

In 2017, premier security company, Quad Security, was engaged to provide dedicated security services to Sandhurst club. As part of their commitment to continuous innovation, Quad Security identified an opportunity to use Lighthouse.io to improve the delivery of security services. Since implementation, the solution has provided greater transparency around the provision of security services, improved response and visibility of security related issues, and has eliminated inefficient paper-based processes and record keeping.
Quad Security and Sandhurst Club had the following objectives in mind when implementing the solution:
The solution is comprised of the following key elements;
What are beacons?
Beacons are small battery powered IoT devices that broadcast signals using Bluetooth Low Energy. Mobile apps installed on a smartphone can listen for signals from beacons placed in the physical world, like a housing estate. The beacons allow the mobile app to understand exactly where it is, trigger relevant workflows, and collect data for reporting purposes.
Live maps to quickly identify a guard's location and assign to tasks. Heat maps to help ensure that required patrols are being completed.
Robust and centralised web based reporting that measures compliance with patrols along with records for tasks, issues and inspections.
A dedicated mobile app that allows security guards to complete tasks, submit issues and communicate with management.
Faster response times with real-time activity feed and alerts for completed tasks and reported issues from the field.
Given the initial success of the solution, Sandhurst management are considering utilisiting it for the management of cleaning and maintenance services. This will provide complete visibility and better management of all property services at Sandhurst Club.
The Lighthouse team will also be introducing GPS to the solution to improve the visibility and coverage of outdoor security patrols.
"Lighthouse.io is a flexible platform that helps me better manage security services and eliminate manual processes. I'm alerted to issues in real-time and the reports give me the confidence that guards are completing their patrols as required"
William Schwab - Security Manager, Quad Security

Can you help attack belief in EVOLUTION? "Without 3 Miracles Darwin's Dead!" challenges Evolution at its core, SCIENCE. This book will change many minds about the viability of Evolution because "Science Proves Atheistic Evolution is IMPOSSIBLE!"
Although there are many books, DVDs and other sources that deal with Creation vs. Evolution, most are technical and hard to read. In "Without 3 Miracles Darwin's DEAD!" I've created a simple, non-technical source that Christians can use to show the Scientific Impossibility of Atheistic Evolution. Evolution is scientifically impossible because it violates three scientific laws; the First and Second laws of Thermodynamics and the Law of Biogenesis. I summarize these three law-breaking events as Magic, Frankenstein, and Uphill Molasses.
Magic: We've all seen the magician pull the rabbit out of the "empty" hat. That's an illustration of the violation of the 1st Law, something coming out of nothing. With the hat or the Universe, something from nothing is either impossible or an illusion but, in any case, it's not REAL. Something doesn't ever come from nothing! Without this first miracle of magic, Atheistic Evolution can't happen!
Frankenstein: In Mary Shelley's novel, Dr. Frankenstein takes dead men's parts, assembles them and produces a living person. It's a great story but we all know it's fiction, yet Evolution would have us believe dead chemicals became living organisms. Life from dead stuff violates the Law of Biogenesis that says life comes only from life and life of only the same kind. Dogs don't beget cats! Rats don't arise from dirty rags! Without this second miracle, Frankenstein, Atheistic Evolution can't happen!
Uphill Molasses: The 2nd Law establishes the Universe is irreversibly running down. Since it is running down it must have been "wound up" at the beginning. Evolution is the opposite of this process. It advances to more complexity, diversity and new "higher" life forms. I chose uphill molasses because it moves slowly like Evolution and it doesn't ever flow upward. Without this third miracle of molasses going uphill in a downhill world, Atheistic Evolution can't happen!
With these three miracles and some additional arguments, I show the impossibility of Atheistic Evolution. There are no scientific arguments Evolutionists can put forward to make their Atheistic model work. It's true: "Without 3 Miracles Darwin's DEAD!"

A Former Atheist's Personal Christian Evangelism Plan." which develops an evangelism strategy that gets to the Gospel every time you witness.

Both books are available at http://yourchristiananswers.com Charlie's third book, "Without 3 Miracles Darwin's Dead!" is subtitled "Science Proves Atheistic Evolution is IMPOSSIBLE" can change many minds about Evolution's viability because it flagrantly violates three scientific laws, the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics and Biogenesis. To break a scientific law, you need a miracle, and Atheistic Evolution cannot allow any. It's available at http://www.w3mdarwinsdead.com

When Quake was released in 1996, Id Software (then based in Mesquite, now based in Richardson) had already revolutionized PC video games with Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.
Quake, though, took things even further. Not only did it play a huge role in standardizing first-person controls in which you use the mouse to look around, it became a blueprint for online multiplayer shooters in the years to come.
Without Quake, you don't get to games like Team Fortress 2 or Overwatch, which are two of today's biggest multiplayer hits. In fact, versions of Quake's multiplayer are still being played today, sometimes for big money. At QuakeCon, Id Software's PC gaming convention that takes place in Dallas every year, tournaments are held to determine the best Quake players in the world.
Also, Quake featured music credited to Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, which was kind of a crazy concept for video games back then.
Quake is also set to return to the modern competitive gaming scene with Quake Champions, which Id Software announced earlier this month at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. It's said to be a PC game designed for players of all skill levels which Id Software and their parent company Bethesda will be supporting with professional tournaments.
But before all of that, Quake was just the newest violent game from a group of scrappy developer kids in Mesquite. This is what we said about it back then, in the pages of The Dallas Morning News on June 26, 1996 from writer Todd Copilevitz.
Quake sends shock wave through cybe
For two years, computer game players have been waiting not so patiently for Quake, the follow-up to the best-selling game Doom.
Dozens of World Wide Web pages boasted the latest news on the development of id Software's new game. Thousands of messages in four Internet news groups debated the latest rumors. And magazines as diverse as Time, The Economist and Fortune have speculated on just how big a hit the game would be.
The game promised to deliver new technology that allows players to move faster, create monsters with more realistic movement, and join massive ongoing multiplayer games on computer networks, by phone or using the Internet.
This weekend, Quake hit and the shock waves are still being felt across cyberspace.
True to form, Mesquite-based id (www.idsoftware.com) let the Internet do its marketing. From its Web site, players can download a working portion of its game that players can use for free, called shareware.
In a month, players can order a full CD-ROM version of the game over the phone for $45. And in August, id will also offer the partial version of the game in stores on CD-ROM for $5. Customers will get the same shareware version of the game and a phone number to call to buy a code that unlocks the full game. The box ratings will reflect high violence content, similar to Doom, although the bloodshed is not as graphic as the current hit Duke Nukem3D from Apogee.
It's a marketing approach id perfected with Doom: Generate excitement about a game by letting players try it for free, then charge them for the full game once they're hooked. It works so well that The Economist magazine dubbed it Doomonomics. Since the release of Doom in 1993, id has sold more than 3 million Doom titles (there are five in the series). The company estimates there are 15 million copies of its Doom shareware in circulation.
"When we released Doom, we didn't have a clue what to expect," says Jay Wilbur, id's chief executive. "This time we were ready, we learned our lesson."
Working with system administrators in California and London, the company set up sites around the world where people could get Quake. Late Friday night, one of the company's programmers logged into the quake IRC channel, which is similar to a chat room on AmericaOnline, to announce the game would be released on Saturday. There were 1,300 people using the channel at the time.
At 5 p.m., the game was put out on the Net. Within minutes more than 2,000 people were downloading the 8.5MB file, filling the capacity of id's system. (With a 28.8 modem, it takes about an hour to get the file.) By Monday, officials at id lost count, but estimated that several hundred thousand copies were already in circulation, with many being duplicated and passed along friend to friend.
"We track our servers and get reports from some of the other people offering the game, but there's really no way to calculate the numbers as this spreads like a spider's web," Mr. Wilbur says.
Computers set up on the Internet to let people play Quake against each other were overloaded almost immediately.
"They started logging in five minutes after the game went up," says John Fullington of Fullnet Inc., in Jasper, Ind. As he was talking, eight players were fighting each other in a game. He had no way of knowing where they were from, nor did he get paid anything for letting them use his company's computers, one of which is used exclusively for the game.
"It's something we do because this game is so incredible," he says. "These are games that are always going on, you just join in when you want to play."
On the four Usenet news groups already dedicated to Quake, more than 3,000 messages were posted over the weekend. And many of the more than 50 Web pages dedicated to the game were quickly updated to reflect its release. By comparison, only a dozen pages are devoted to the game Myst, according to the Yahoo! Internet index.
For their patience, players received a game very much in the mold of Doom, low priority on story-line, high priority on hunt-and-kill action.
The action takes place in a dark, post-apocalyptic industrial setting, with players battling 13 monsters such as sword-wielding knights, angry Rottweilers, flesh-flinging zombies and piranha-like Rotfish.
The game demands a Pentium-powered PC, with 16MB of memory in order to play the game with Windows 95. A Mac version of the game is still in development.
The extra computing muscle gives monsters a high degree of artificial intelligence, allowing them to set traps and evade players. Although they have a very boxy look to them, the monsters move much more fluidly than in Doom, and they look sharp even close-up. Players can choose from 15 resolution levels, trading speed for clarity.
The sound effects were created by Trent Reznor of the band Nine Inch Nails. (As a tribute to the band, ammo for a nail gun weapon is in boxes with the band's logo.) Running through halls, the sounds reverberate as they would in the real world. There's a heavy-metal accent to some of the larger beasts as they move.
The game allows players to use their own music CDs for the soundtrack, although the CD-ROM will come with music.
Players run, jump and swim through levels, armed with eight weapons ranging from an ax to lightning-bolt rifle. In single-player mode, there are seven levels to complete, one-fourth of the levels in the full version. But Quake is first and foremost a multiplayer game.
Players give themselves nicknames and pick a color for their shirt and pants. A multiplayer option in the main menu lets players pick what kind of game they'll join, by modem, network or Internet. On networks, such as those run by colleges and businesses, there's no limit to how many people can play. Over the Internet, most games are limited to 16 or fewer.
As players eliminate each other, the game keeps track with sarcastic messages across the top of the screen such as, "Dallasnews ate two rounds of Fragmaster's buckshot." As in Doom, the bodies of the fallen litter the floor.
Already Web sites are popping up with listings of Quake servers so players can find a quick game. The Aftershock (www.nuqneH.org/aftershock) even tests each site every few minutes for its current status.
"You're going to see servers going up everywhere," Mr. Fullington says. "But the game is going to be so popular you'll have a hard time getting in."
Over at id, the developers and programmers are watching all the furor and trying to catch their breath, Mr. Wilbur says. But there were no celebrations once the game was posted.
"You kidding? To celebrate we all went home to get some sleep," he says.

Learning to Count: Structured Practice With Spatial Cues Supports the Development of Counting Sequence Knowledge in 3-Year-Old English-Speaking Children
Research Findings: Children who speak English are slower to learn the counting sequence between 11 and 20 compared to children who speak Asian languages. In the present research, we examined whether providing children with spatially relevant information during counting would facilitate their acquisition of the counting sequence. Three-year-olds (n = 54) who played a 1–20 number board game in which numbers were grouped by decade into 2 rows learned significantly more of the counting sequence than children who played a linear version of the game or those who were in the control group. Both the row and linear versions of the game helped children improve their performance on an object counting task. Children's performance on a number line task did not show an effect of either game intervention. Practice or Policy: These results suggest that counting practice that includes spatially informative cues can facilitate young English-speaking children's learning of the challenging number sequence from 11 to 20.

Passage: Mark 16:15-15:15 & Matthew 28:18
Duration: 38 mins 4 secs
Pastor Chris concludes the mini-series "On Your Mark" with a bang much like you'd hear at the start of a foot race. Of course, our commission has so much more at stake than a foot race.

Whether it's the workplace, school, or even bigger, like a community or even a nation; God has a place for you to go! Our prayer and hope is that you are encouraged and inspired by these messages. What's God doing in your life today? Let us know by visiting our website www.destinychurchjacksonville.com and click on on the Testimony button to share your story.

Passage: Matthew 20:1-16 & Habakkuk 2:3
Duration: 41 mins 39 secs
When you hear the announcer's voice over the loudspeaker saying "Get Set!", you know it's just a matter of seconds before the crack of the starting pistol sends runners on their way.

Sunday, November 05 2017
Passage: Romans 12:9-21 & 2 Corinthians 13:5
Duration: 32 mins 7 secs
It sounds like the start of a race, right? "On your mark" signifies that it's time to get to your post and be prepared for what's next. Today's message from Pastor Chris speaks to the person in that starting place, but he also speaks to the notion of the marks of a follower of Christ; those character traits and attributes that set believer (and The Church) apart and offer a hopeful and eternal worldview. So join us as we begin this new mini-series and invite your friends and family to listen in as well! You're guaranteed to be challenged and encouraged.
Sunday, October 22 2017
Passage: Hebrews 12:1 & 1 Corinthians 10:23
Series: Special Message
Duration: 46 mins 55 secs
If there's one thing that's been the primary focus of Pastors Chris and Jodi Tomlinson, it's the Gospel of Jesus Christ; The Good News! We, having accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior, have been set free from the power of sin, death and hell, and that's the best news anyone could ever share! But today, Chris wants you to focus your attention on some of the other things that get in the way of all that God has for us; things that in and of themselves are not necessarily sin, but weights and burdens that we collect and carry until we're ultimately shackled by them. If you are bound up by all of the good things in your life, this is your opportunity to take a load off and get some rest.
Sunday, September 24 2017
Passage: Philippians 4:8-9 & 2 Corinthians 10:5
Series: Special Message
Duration: 38 mins 27 secs
When you think of renewable resources, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Energy? Perhaps you thought about your recycling bins and separating your trash. Have you ever considered your mind to be the most valuable renewable resource you have? In today's message, Pastor Chris shares some guidance on how to overcome some of those deeply-rooted behaviors and reactions by allowing God to change the way we think about things. Simply put, we can renew our minds. No one is immune from problems, but we certainly have the ultimate Resource to help us overcome any obstacle.

When the average consumer wants or needs latex they insist on a trusted supplier. In days of yore one might look in the Yellow Pages for Ye Olde Latex Shoppe. Then the Yellow Pages became litter box filler & people quit saying days of yore.
Today most demand only the finest organic, gluten free, sustainable, PETA friendly latex. They do not want rubber, plastic or acrylic. They want latex, they want it now & they will pay for it.
Christopher Columbus is credited with the discovery of natural latex, or rubber. When he returned to the New World for the second time he noted natives of Haiti playing with a ball made from the gum of a tree. This bouncing ball from a tree called "CAW-UCHU" or "Weeping Wood" was also used by ancient Mayans. They threw it through a hoop made of rubber. It was the earliest form of a game which later became known as basketball.
Latex is not rubber. They are not the same. They are different.
Rubber is a highly elastic solid substance, light cream or dark amber in color, polymerized by the drying & coagulation of the latex or milky juice of rubber trees & plants, especially Hevea & Ficus species.
Latex is a milky liquid in certain plants, as milkweeds, euphorbias, poppies, or the plants yielding India rubber, that coagulates on exposure to air or any emulsion in water of finely divided particles of synthetic rubber or plastic.
Consumers want the latter, not the former. The key word here is latex.
Vandelay Industries, NYSE Ticker Symbol VI, is the world's leading supplier of latex. No one knows when, where or by whom the company was founded or where it is located today.
Some believe VI is based in a Manhattan New York apartment. This is not a setting conducive to production of latex in quantities sufficient to satisfy insatiable global latex demand.
A latex factory should look more like this.
With a distribution facility that looks like this.
Though VI claims to be an American company their latex is produced here. The sign company screwed up the translation for latex. That happens a lot with foreign sign companies.
The manufacturing complex looks like this.
Whiny environmentalists complained, so VI dumped Manufacturer #1 in favor of this cleaner & more efficient Manufacturer #2 in an even more remote foreign country. They hoped not to get caught. Nobody noticed. Until now. We promised not to tell.
Born George Louis Costanza, April 15, 1959, few expected much from him. As a youth he was a twerp. People picked on him. Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump picked on the boy. Whoever one's choice of villain or saint, they picked on him. Mother Teresa picked on George Costanza.
At some point Costanza briefly changed his name to Art Corvelay, shortly thereafter to Art Vandelay. That was fortuitous as he soon went to work for Vendelay Industries. He was a marginally successful if slightly erratic latex salesman.
In response to Vandelay's propensity to make sales calls in less than conventional attire VI issued a new mandatory global dress code.
There has been little news about VI since 1998. One can assume they continued to produce latex & Art Vandelay continued to sell it.
This is good news for selective consumers who want to buy latex from at least a marginally successful salesman. Such consumers are inclined to call VI and ask for Art Vandelay.
It may be because Vandelay became a better than marginal latex salesman. Or maybe everyone else quit. Or maybe they all went to jail. For whatever reason VI announced today they just named Art Vandelay as Chief Executive Officer.
It appears he no longer abides by the VI dress code since his lofty promotion.
Those wishing to buy latex should call Vandelay Industries today at 212-555-6893. Ask for Art Vandelay.
Tell him to pay his Press Release bill.
Calls to Vandelay Industries for further information were not returned as of press time.
