I stare at him like what the fuck,I then fake a smile to ensure him of something well I don't know, how do you tell a guy that been nothing but good to you that you are not interested.I then found my courage and began. Sorry this girl is already taken by a sexy red neck shirt Dav I don't feel the same, I'm sorry if I'm hurting you but I just want you to know so that you won't get your feelings up or something. Damn it, today is a shitty day. The company is downsizing, which means 3,000 people is about to be out on their ass by the end of the month. Everyone is tense, unsure who's getting the boot; but I have a gut feeling my black ass was getting it. My numbers aren't as impressive as some of my surrounding counterparts and I already got into a heated argument with a superior about a comment he made that was racially offensive. He got onto stage they brought him a chair and a guitar and I'm thinking to my self I don't remember him telling me that he can sing or play da guitar or any instrument for dat fact he sat down and moved closer to da mic.
Sorry this girl is already taken by a sexy red neck shirt
Lovely Sorry this girl is already taken by a sexy red neck shirt
I woke up in a dark room I looked around and saw the other young Sorry this girl is already taken by a sexy red neck shirt shivering and scared until 3 guys opened the door and took 5 girls with them to get ready for their clients Nothing beats sleeping next to the one you love , it's priceless and Assuring.I happened to wake up early, I don't know why though but I didn't move or wake up Emkay. I just enjoyed being next to him and listening to the sound of his breathing.I had my back to him so I couldn't see his BEAUTIFUL face What time they due to land?" Sal asks. He loops a tie, pre-knotted and ready to go, over his head. "Twenty minutes." With traffic the way it is, we'll be there in ten.Sal tightens the tie around his neck, placing the ridiculous fucking chauffeur's hat on his head. He tucks his hair back behind his ears. He needs to cut it, but will the bastard listen? Hell, no. He never listens to a word I say. "Are you ready?" he asks.

John Sanders, a proponent of open theism, believes that believers will not fall away in heaven:
"All free will theists face the question as to whether our free will implies that we might fall away in heaven. A brief response is that we will freely ask God to confirm our characters in such a way that we never choose to sin."[1]
Note from the above, the nature of his claim:
1.) He is making a claim about the future ("will").
2.) He is making a claim about many people (believers), and what they will do with their libertarian "free will".
Yet, in light of Sander's Open Theism, it is epistemologically impossible for him to know the above claims.
For one reason, Sanders himself is a finite human being, who cannot know the future (and same with other human beings).
Secondly, the only other person that can know this might be God, and from His knowledge He then revealed it to Sanders. But Sander's Open Theism denies the doctrine of divine foreknowledge, thereby undermining this possibility. Sanders denies God's foreknowledge on the metaphysical basis that the future does not exists:
"If the future already ontologically exists (is real), then God must know it' but if it is not real, then God is not ignorant of some reality, for there is nothing 'there' to be known."[2]
If what is future can not be known, and the decision of people and God interacting with one another in heaven is still in the future, then it follows then that the decisions of people and God cannot be known.[3]
Thirdly, while an appeal can be made that God "knows" because of His decision of what He will do in the future for the occasion believers enter heaven, this attempt fails because it has to account for Open Theism's doctrine of human libertarian free will. According to Sanders, he explains God's relationship to man's libertarian free will:
"Furthermore, free will theists, in contrast to proponents of meticulous providence, can say that one reason for God's not intervening in a particular situation is his unwillingness to interfere with the libertarian freedom of the people involved."[4]
Note that the God of Open Theism is unwillingness to interfere with people's freedom. Libertarian freewill supposes that the will is "free" when it has the ability to make contrary choices. If God "confirm our characters in such a way that we never choose to sin"[1], then Liberterian free will ceases in Heaven. Yet, Open Theism has stressed that libertarian free will is necessary for a relationship with God.[2] Apparently, relationship with God and man is possible apart from libertarian freedom, or man has no relationship with God in heaven. Either way, there is incoherence with Open Theism in terms of it's doctrinal relationship of believer's eternal security in heaven, libertarian free will, the precondition for relationship with God, and God's lack of divine foreknowledge.

Hey Ma! I'm on YouTube!
Video can be a powerful way to connect with your students and unify your campus. I have been using video for six years and it has had a huge impact on our school spirit and culture.
Anything you can do to get kids faces on a screen generates excitement. We use video as teaser at our rallies and assemblies to get our students hooked. Sometimes we produce silly skits and other times we simply interview students around campus.
I have two guidelines I give the kids to ensure as many kids get into the videos as possible.
- First, I don't want the same kids in multiple videos throughout the year.
- Second, seek out students who would be good candidates for videos (leaders of various groups on campus).
Outside of that, have fun, find some good music and make your own videos. We are currently working on creating our own YouTube channel so stay tuned! In the meantime check out our Grossmont High School Facebook Page for some sample videos!
This weeks blog was written by Jeremy Hersch, a History Teacher of 8 years experience and an Activity Director at Grossmont High for 6 years.

Partition External Hard Drive
Most of the external hard drives come with one preformatted partition ready to use. But if it didn't, or if you don't like the default setup, changing it is easy. And of course you'll want to do this before you load that disk up with data.
Start by Right clicking on My Computer and then clicking on Manage. In the resulting application window, click on Disk Management in the left hand pane. You should see something similar to this:
At the top you'll see all the logical disks on your system listed alphabetically by label by default. Below that you'll see a graphical representation of all the physical disk drives known to your system. If a physical drive has more than one partition those partitions will be shown together on the single physical drive.
In this example, my drive "E:" is an external USB drive. It happens to be my backup drive where nightly backups are stored.Remove the Existing Partition
Let's assume for a moment that I'm unhappy with the current configuration of the partitions on my external drive and want to change it. My first step would be to remove the existing partition.
You need to right click on the drive in the lower pane, and you should see this menu:
Important: the next step will delete everything on the drive. Make sure this is what you want before proceeding.
Click on Delete Partition
The representation of the drive should change from "Healthy" to "Unallocated".
Partition the Drive
Right click on the drive again, and the option that was once "Delete Partition" is now "New Partition". Click on that to set up your new partition.
You'll then be asked to select "Primary" or "Extended" partition. Primary is sufficient unless you plan to put more than 4 partitions on this hard disk. You'll then also be asked how much of the space to allocate for the new partition you're creating.
Typically, I recommend simply allocating the entire space to a single partition. You can, if you like, allocate less than the maximum space to the partition you're creating now so that you have room for additional partitions on the same hard disk. Remember that each partition, once formatted, will appear as its own logical disk (C:, D:, E: and so on.)
You'll then be asked about formatting, which I'll cover below.
Once you've formatted the new partition, it'll appear as "Healthy", and any leftover space will continue to display "Unallocated". You can then repeat this partitioning process on that unallocated space until your entire drive has been allocated.
Format the Drive
Assuming that partitioning has been performed above, or you don't want to change the partitioning of your drive, the next thing to change would be the format of the drive.
Important: formatting a drive will delete everything on the drive. Make sure this is what you want before proceeding.
Right click on the drive that you wish to format, click on the Format item, press OK on the dire warning, and you'll get a dialog similar to this:
Let's look at each of those options:
· Volume Label - is the name that will appear when the logical disk is displayed in Windows Explorer, in File selection dialog boxes and in other situations. It's a convenient way to identify disks by name rather than only by letter. The label is an attribute of the drive, so particularly on removable drives the label stays the same no matter what machine you plug it into, or what drive letter it gets assigned.
· File System - I recommend NTFS unless the drive is going to be used by older versions of Windows, or by non-Windows systems. There's debate as to whether NTFS is faster (I think it is), but it also supports additional security features like file permissions, and can typically make more efficient use of larger disks.
· Allocation unit size - can be left at "Default".
· Perform a Quick format - for the type of format we're doing here, I actually recommend leaving this unchecked. A quick format only writes the bare minimum of information to establish the disk's new configuration. If the disk has been in use for a while, that's fine and is what I typically recommend. However, when going through the effort of formatting a new disk I suggest using this opportunity to have the format process actually write the entire drive. It may take a while.
· Enable file and folder compression - I have mixed feelings about this. The overhead of compressing and decompressing files is no longer significant with today's processor speeds. However I have concerns about data recovery if the disk ever experiences an issue. My concerns may not be valid, but ultimately, I never run with compression on any of my hard disks, preferring instead to compress the individual files as appropriate instead. So many file formats, like most audio and video files, are already compressed that the compression offered by the file system is often negligible. I leave this unchecked.
That's it. Press OK and after a period of time you'll have a formatted, ready-to-use disk.

Are Prom Nominations Fair?
April 13, 2018
With the recent Prom nominations, many students have gone to social media to complain about the number of repeats in voted candidates each year. The evidence proves this to be true. There have been 15 people in total who were repeated at least twice. Two of those people were nominated three times.
The senior Prom king candidates this year are Justin Gallup, Tuckker Johnson, Jordan Lee and Jack Wiles. Senior queen candidates are Morgan Buchholz, Riese Beebe, Maddie Hermann and Sarah Pickert. After winning Homecoming queen this year, Buchholz is being nominated a third time, while Johnson and Wiles are being nominated their second time. Johnson was nominated for Courtwarming his freshman year, and Wiles was nominated for the same dance his sophomore year.
Nick Porth, a senior, was nominated for Homecoming and Prom last year, and Courtwarming this year. He won two of those nominations, Prom prince and Courtwarming king.
"I think others should've gotten a chance. I didn't want [the nomination] but only one time, my first time. But once I got nominated my third time, for Courtwarming this year, I wanted to win because I am a senior," said Porth.
Of the junior Prom candidates, Dylan Mussett and Kinsey Kutler were both nominated for Homecoming their sophomore year, and Jace Friesen was nominated his freshman year.
Some people in the school are fed up with the same students winning the elections.
"I think it's annoying. It makes it so nobody really cares about the nominees because it's always going to be 'those people,'" said senior Tara Sitzmann. "[When voting] I think about who hasn't been nominated before; who's a good person and would look good in a crown."
Prom does have specific rules for who can be nominated, but only for students who were nominated for Prom in previous years. A student can be nominated, and win, Homecoming or Courtwarming and still be eligible as a Prom candidate.
"The current guidelines are that if a student is nominated or wins Prom junior year, they are not eligible to be nominated for Prom again senior year," said Prom committee sponsor Allyson Schaffer. "However, a student can be nominated, and win Homecoming or Courtwarming, and still be nominated for Prom. Essentially for Prom, the slate is wiped clean, with the exception of being a prom candidate junior year."
Although these rules are in place, Rylea Oliver's name was announced, along with the other candidates. However, she won Prom princess last year, so she was taken out of the nominations. But, this still means that she did get a majority vote over others.
"As far as candidate nominations go, we changed the prince and princess rule so you are only allowed to be that once between your freshman and junior year. Your slate is wiped clean after that and you can be nominated for Homecoming or Courtwarming king or queen, but not both," said senior class sponsor Erin Amrein. "Honestly, we have a big enough school at this point, I'd like to see where you can only be nominated once–across the board–freshman through senior year."
Plans for change in the future have already been put into place.
"Mrs. Schaffer and I have already planned to align our guidelines for the future nominations so we can hopefully eliminate any issues and see new faces," said Amrein.
Prom will be on Saturday, April 14 at Children's Mercy Park. Prom tickets are $30 and have been sold throughout lunch this week, but will also be sold at the door on Saturday. Parking for Prom will be in Lot D.

Starting in high school counselors, teachers and parents all begin to use abbreviations. Now, life is hard enough, and now everyone is throwing all these initials of expecting you to not only know what they mean, but to score well on them. Well never fear, there are many College Bound students in the same boat and you are wondering what the heck is the PSAT really is. Seriously, you should know what those initials are now, but you still can not have a good grasp of what it involves in practice. This article will serve as a reference and help you better understand this test you are headed towards.
PSAT or Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test
The PSAT is kind of a practice test that helps students determine their location and how much preparation they need before they take on SAT. This can give you a good idea of how the questions are worded, what is expected and if the test is easy or difficult for you. Some students make the mistake of believing that because they aced the PSAT to SAT will be the same and never learn. It is not advisable and it may be that you got lucky with the PSAT. As always, make sure that you create before the test, unless you are just money and early evening to blow!
The PSAT is made up of two reading sessions, two math meetings and one write session. The questions are multiple choice or guess, as many prefer to say except that the writing portion of the test. Assigned time for testing is over two hours, but not everyone does it take, and others all the time. Two hours is the maximum given, but only for reference.
The reading sessions about twenty-five minutes apiece and includes critical reading, vocabulary as well as determine the relationship between words. The most important part of reading part of the PSAT is to ensure that you read the section carefully. There are fifty questions in reading section so it is important to follow the schedule. Rip through this part of the test will lower your score, because it could be a trick or two! Pace yourself to ensure that you are not carelessly to answer the questions, but you do not take too much time either. They take the PSAT today will not have them all famous similar to look forward to as they have been destroyed, darned of luck!
The math session is about twenty-five minutes each and consist of word problems, algebra, graphs, geometry and statistics. The game part consists of thirty multiple-choice questions and ten grid questions. Moving the math section can be increased significantly with practice and brush up on your math skills with good PSAT preparation guide.
Writing part of the PSAT includes thirty minutes of the allocation which the test taker is expected to answer questions based on a specific writing samples. Students will answer multiple choice questions based on finding mistakes, poor sentence structure and other grammatical errors. The best way to prepare for the writing part of the PSAT is a practice with given exercises PSAT study guide. There are thirty-nine questions that must be answered within thirty minutes to write a chapter. Warning: many first time students fail written part of the exam because they blow this part of
perfect score on the PSAT is eighty lowest twenty .. Most students who are still in high school who take the exam score of fifty. This could be greatly improved if students take advantage of related items. The mind gets better with practice and certainly over time, so it is important to study for the PSAT and SAT. You will see tons Study Guides, seminars and tapes that will increase your score. Many of these products will, but you need to make sure you are getting a proven product. So, how do you know if it is proven or not. Look at the stories of other students, if there are no stories, avoid making purchases. If others benefit from the product, but it is safe to assume that you can do the same.
Most high schools start trying to get younger and older their classes to take the PSAT. This is a great time to take the test to begin preparations in the areas you need help or scored poorly. If you start preparing early you can eliminate some of the stress and get even more opportunities for financial aid and / or scholarship money. The faster you are the SAT results, the more likely you are to provide the money that you do not have to pay back. So, do not wait or put off taking the PSAT, consider it a practice and preparation for the SAT.
There are also some practice tests on the Internet, but are not all that you need to prepare for the PSAT or sat. Provided free practice test can give you an idea of test type questions, but it is not good preparation strategy. Do not fall into the "can not afford the trap," find a way because the test is not cheap and you do not want to spend money on failing the test!

|December 1, 2014 09:36 AM
|Senator Dominic Pileggi
|All Senate members
|Requiring Candidates to File Campaign Reports Electronically
|I plan to introduce legislation which will require candidates for statewide office and the General Assembly to file campaign reports electronically.
Electronic filing will save taxpayer funds, improve the accuracy of campaign finance information on the Department of State's website, and make the information available to the public in real time.
At least 30 states currently require electronic filing of campaign reports. In Pennsylvania, candidates may choose to file electronically, but there is no requirement to do so.
This legislation will also require more regular reporting for candidates for statewide office or the General Assembly, committees for those offices, or political parties that raise or spend more than $10,000 in a calendar year. This legislation will also require anyone raising campaign funds through a website to include the website address in campaign reports. At the end of each calendar year, funds collected through the website shall be separately reported.
This legislation will be similar to Senate Bill 120 (printer's number 940) from the 2013-14 legislative session, which the Senate approved unanimously on April 17, 2013.
Introduced as SB389

High Notes, Vol 19 No 40, December 14 2018
From the Principal
Final High Notes for 2018
In introducing our final High Notes edition for 2018, I would like to thank all the contributors – staff, students, parents and Old Boys who share information about the activities of our students with the wider school community. It takes considerable effort to produce this publication every week. To do that, editors Meredith Thomas and Dave Te Rata, spend hours collating, formatting, editing and printing High Notes. Thank you also to Brooke Ashton who proofreads the document before publication. We try to make it informative and accurate.
High Talent
Congratulations to Andrew Chang (11T) who is accelerating in music 2 and who has been invited to perform at Encore – a great achievement!
Competitions Policy
SBHS wants to give students an opportunity to compare themselves in academic-style competitions to the rest of Australia. Competing in a broader pool allows students to shine who may be overshadowed in the narrower context of our school. It has been school policy to enter all students automatically in competitions run by ICAS- International Competitions and Assessments,
managed by UNSW Global. From next year, ICAS is changing its directions and steeply increasing charges. As the school spends >$65k annually on competition entries, without invoicing students for their entries, we need to get value for money when directing funds as a gifted and talented intervention. From 2019, Head Teachers will decide which competitions are worthwhile entering. Also, as some students currently do not take participation in some or all of their competition opportunities seriously, we would rather not make participation assumed for everyone. Consequently, entries into approved competitions will be voluntary from 2019. Students will need to 'opt in' to have the opportunity of testing their skills. Entries will not be just made in bulk as previously, but rather ordered on a needs basis. Whilst this is messier administratively, it is also a more effective use of scarce resources for meeting the needs of our students.
Collection of Reports
All boys should have collected their reports. Regrettably, there are still boys who have not fulfilled their commitments, completed their Clearance Forms and booked an appointment time to see me to discuss their progress at school. This is an important step in our feedback loop and I insist on speaking to boys personally. Boys can come and get their reports before or after school and at lunch or recess on most days, unless I have appointments or have already set aside a time to chat with boys about their reports. There are also sheets provided for 'Stragglers' Reports' for an hour or so on selected days. Boys just need to make an effort to comply with policy, and come and see me. Once I have had a short feedback session with each boy, his report is loaded online against his personal file on Find a Student. Appointments can be made in the new school year by filling in one of the sheets on the Waterhouse desk in the corridor or just drop by before school, recess and at lunch (except Tuesdays). The benefits of my interactions with boys lessen if the discussion is too far removed from the assessment events being discussed.
Interpreting Year 10 Reports – Semester 2
All Year 10 boys should now have their reports. Parents are advised to work with their sons in the process of choosing Year 11 courses. Choosing courses for Year 11 study can be assisted by evaluations of Year 10 performances. English and mathematics courses are determined by the school's pattern of offered courses and by the results of the mathematics selection process for extension 1. Year 10 boys should have done their Career Voyage questionnaire during their Transition Education periods. These results should be discussed in the light of your son's interests and abilities. Courses can be selected to underscore certain tertiary directions – eg chemistry for medicine, or economics for a commerce degree.
As for the semester 1 report, ranks are varied by several factors. Students who have not
performed well in PE will have a reduced ATAR prediction because the calculation is made on 12.6
units (using a pro rata for PE based on time spent). Students who do online elective receive the
average of the other units so as not to advantage nor disadvantage them, whereas they may have
taken another elective and earned an above average score. Students accelerating have a harder
task than non-accelerants as they are assessed at stage 6 standard. Students may also lose
interest in electives they are not continuing and record weaker results. Electives done for
enjoyment are in contrast to the serious efforts that will need to be made in their stage 6

I have had my gardening done a few times by Michael now. He is always friendly and works really hard and I am always happy with results!
He is also honest and trustworthy and will let me know if he is running late or if the job didn't take as long as expected and will ask for payment for services provided/completed and hours spent on site and nothing more.

Busworld South East Asia 2019 will be held in Jakarta, capital of Indonesia. But also Jakarta is home of the world's longest BRT system, Transjakarta. A Bus Rapid Transit system of 251 km long. The service set a record in 2018 when it carried 730,000 passengers per day. There for during Busworld South East Asia on Thursday 21 March 2019 a panel discussion titled "Development of Mass Transportation, BRT Systems and Supporting Infrastructure" is chaired by Ir. Karlo Manik, Director of Greater Jakarta Transport Authority under MoT.
The panel discussion will be held under the wings of Busworld Academy and Global Expo Management, the organizer for international specialized trade exhibitions in Indonesia. Global Expo Management is hosting Busworld South East Asia.
Transjakarta is the first and only Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Indonesia. It started in 2004, by cooperating with a consortium of 5 bus companies that had at that time a crossing route with Transjakarta corridor 1. Now it consists of 155 routes. The last three years it dramatically expanded from 41 routes in 2015 with 605 buses. In 2017 this number was increased up to 1500 buses. Plans are to double the bus fleet up to 3000 vehicles. The fare has remained Rp 3,500 (22 Euro cents) per passenger since operations began. The service set a record in 2018 when it carried 730,000 passengers per day. Over the years on average Transjakarta carried 663.000 passengers per day. About 189,8 million passengers used the service of Transjakarta in 2018. The target is one million passengers daily.
Since it was decided to start operating in Jakarta on January 15 in 2004, Transjakarta has become a new cultural symbol of transportation in Indonesia. Transjakarta is also the first public transportation system subsidized by the city government in Indonesia. In the past few years, Transjakarta has become the BRT system benchmark for cities in Indonesia, such as Semarang and Medan, and a symbol of road-based public transportation renewal in and outside Indonesia, by implementing a system that was more humane for the citizens.
A fully updated programme of the Busworld Academy Conference is available on the Busworld Academy website.

Is your hotel failing to keep housekeepers safe?
By Elizabeth Ziemba, President and Divya Daswani, Research Assistant
Hotels play a vital role in medical and dental tourism. Is staff ready to take on the challenges of providing VIP services to medical travelers? If not, employees and guests could be at risk. Housekeeping procedures for cleaning rooms and public areas in hotels and resorts are designed to provide healthy and clean environments for guests and staff while keeping employees safe and well. Changing demographics and environments may mean that the protocols in place may not be up to date with demands of the market place. Are you doing what needs to be done to keep your staff protected and delivering VIP services to guests?
The number of people living with diabetes is growing globally. More than 422 million adults are living with diabetes
and are able to travel because they can self-test and self-inject to stay healthy while away from home. Increasingly, people are traveling away from home to receive medical and dental procedures, turning hotel rooms into makeshift recovery rooms.
All of these gains for the traveling public have changed the services that hotels and resorts must offer to keep guests and staff safe. Guests with diabetes and other medical conditions often inject themselves with medication. Those injectibles must be disposed of properly to avoid injury to other people including

[email protected] housekeeping staff. Protocols for disposing of biohazardous waste must be in place and staff properly training to execute them.
Medical and dental travelers often have bloody bandages to be disposed of as well as blood and other noxious bodily fluids end up on sheets, towels, and other surfaces in rooms that must be cleaned.
Protecting housekeeping staff from blood borne diseases is incredibly important. Simple measures can be in place to keep housekeepers safe.
As discussed in a previous article, "Are your "clean" hotel rooms making your guests sick?", the rise of certain diseases like the bacteria Clostridium difficile or C diff as it is commonly known are at epidemic proportions. C diff, a contagious infectious disease, is easily transmitted through feces. Members of staff like housekeepers who come into contact with it and are not properly protected can not only unknowingly spread the disease to guests but also bring it home to infect family members.
Recent reports similar to the one that took place at Boston Wyndham Beacon Hill Hotel result in protests of unsafe conditions.ii Staff was not properly training on the safe disposal of biohazardous materials such as used needles and bloody sheets. The Boston hotel is conveniently located next to major hospitals and medical research facilities – a selling point to out of town patients and families. The workers reported a significant amount of bio waste in rooms, "noting that they had inadequate training, insufficient protection equipment and no formal protocol for handling bio waste."iii
The underlying condition of hotel rooms can be contaminated with bacteria and potentially harm guests as well as staff. Improper disposal of biohazardous waste can affect staff that comes in contact with them. Implementing the relevant and up to date protocols and training for hotel staff can easily prevent the risk of endangering employees and provide a safer and better quality of stay for guests.
Without proper protocols for getting rid of bio waste and without the proper training, workers are at risk of coming into contact with contaminated bodily fluids, which can be a potential source for transfer of serious diseases including C diff and HIV.
Is it time to review the cleaning protocols in your hotel?
Medical Tourism Training is ready to assist you with a review of protocols as well as training programs to keep guests healthy, happy, and returning for more visits. Maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness provides a safer employment environment for staff.

Gov. Steve Sisolak appeared at a forum put on by the Nevada Independent last week, which the Indy has now helpfully transcribed (so get your control f on, if you like). And in that transcript, we find Sisolak, saying this, about payday lenders:
"Some people can use payday loans responsibly, other people can't use payday loans, whether that's the government's place to interfere or intervene in that, I'm not totally sure. I'm happy to listen to both sides. But it's a need. A lot of people in Nevada do not have bank accounts. A lot more don't have them than you realize don't have them and sometimes people need to access money and they can't get it from a bank and I don't know what's the alternative frankly."
The Center for Responsible Lending does. Know what's the alternative frankly, that is. I explained some of what the group has to say about the subject in a September commentary politely headlined "Nevada can, and should, outlaw this industry." Yes, you should read the whole thing if you didn't/haven't. But here's part about the matter at hand:
"The experiences of borrowers in payday-free states show that eliminating the payday debt trap does not force consumers to use products that cause greater harm than payday loans," the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) said last year in a compilation of research by academics and state governments.
The preponderance of that research finds that the departure of payday lenders had no significant impact on the availability of credit. People turned to multiple alternatives, including mainstream products such as banks and credit cards, but also pawn shops, traditional installment loans, extended payment plans, and a growing number of employer-based alternative loan programs.
What people are not doing is turning from one devil to the next: In states that have ousted predatory, high-fee payday loans, 95 percent of "would-be borrowers" told researchers they would not use payday loans in any form, including online.
The most popular alternative to payday loans? Cutting back expenses to make ends meet.
The Center also reports that the typical annualized percentage interest on a payday loan in Nevada is 652 percent. (Yes. Six hundred and fifty-two. I make typos sometimes but that isn't one of them). The rate is higher in only four other states.
You may have noticed CPR's use of the phrase "payday-free states." Nearly 20 states have capped rates to prohibit the industry from gouging people (with, say, a 652 percent APR) who are already financially strapped.
Capping rates doesn't end the broader systemic problems or correct the market failures that prey on working people and drive them to places like payday lenders in the first place. Some of that predation is carried out by mainstream financial services — big bank fees and penalties that disproportionately hit people who can least afford them. So if Sisolak and legislators would like to facilitate the establishment of fair, affordable and accessible financial services in Nevada — an "alternative frankly" — that would be a fine thing. After all, as Sisolak notes, "a lot of people in Nevada do not have bank accounts."
In the meantime, experience in other states shows that people do in fact find alternatives to payday lenders. And whatever their shortcomings, as the CRL report put it, those alternatives "are still less harmful than payday borrowing."

A belief in the importance of culturally responsive education in schools and a commitment to lift up students and educators alike are among the reason why Don Speidel has been honoured as a recipient of an Indspire Guiding the Journey: Indigenous Educator Award.
Speidel, a cultural resource liaison with Saskatoon Public Schools' First Nations, Inuit and Metis Education Unit, is one of 10 Canadian educators who received the award Dec. 1 during the National Gathering of Indigenous Education being held in Montreal.
His nomination in the Indspire category of culture, language and traditions cites Speidel's leadership within the school division and wider community and his openness in making himself available to all learners through his work with youth, the sharing of cultural teachings and as a guide for educators.
"Don is invested and genuinely committed to lifting youth and educators alike," the nomination says. "He is a humanitarian that supports the wellbeing of all who seek clarity, balance and want to teach and learn through a more culturally responsive perspective."
Speidel, who has been a part of the school division's work to provide culturally responsive education for almost two decades, said he appreciates the personal honour offered by the Indspire award but believes the recognition is something that must be shared.
"My family and everybody is really excited for me, but I'm not going there for myself," he said. "I think it shows the investment our school division has made, and this community has made, into trying to create an Indigenous awareness and visibility and raise the profile around Indigenous programming. I certainly don't think this is just for me — it's our school division, the many people who collaborated for many years.
"I feel that mutual respect from the administration and the staff here to continue to grow things. I am encouraged that time is here and it's a meaningful approach and process that many can hopefully continue to see as a viable way of creating the success we hope to achieve."
Speidel has an unwavering belief that language, tradition and culture need to be shared between both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in order to move reconciliation forward and his work with Saskatoon Public Schools illustrates that commitment. He works closely with students and teachers, provides leadership on cultural best practices, conducts traditional First Nations ceremonies and all the while shares his commitment to inspire pride in Indigenous youth and connect them to the richness of their language and culture.
He sees hands-on learning such as drum programs and the raising of tipis at schools, as well as opportunities for students to work with elders and knowledge keepers, as important access points to cultural learning for students and teachers, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.
"We have to have a reference point. You have to get these teachings from the people themselves who have been given opportunities to maintain the traditional concepts and perspectives," he said. "There's not going to be a book for that. There are different ideas you can get from Google and everywhere else, but if you don't have living examples (elders) to sit with arts ed teachers or math teachers or science teachers you are not going to have a clear path of how that could look."
In addition to his close work with students and staff, Speidel also played a key role in creating a ceremonial site located at the division's Brightwater Science, Environmental and Indigenous Learning Centre located just south of Saskatoon. The Brightwater site, Speidel believes, provides a unique opportunity for integrated learning and the inclusion of an Indigenous perspective: "Students can learn so many different things from that land and, in a way, going to that land is a ceremony in itself."
Two extracurricular opportunities for students that Speidel leads — the Indigenous Art, Song and Dance Instructional Program and the Indigenous Ensemble — are among the programs that are helping build cultural knowledge and pride among Indigenous youth and serving as a bridge to the wider community. Since beginning with a small group of students several years ago, the art, song and dance program has grown to more than 175 students in 2017, including a large number of non-Indigenous participants.
"The awesome part of that 178 students is that probably 75 per cent are non-Indigenous students," he said. "When you look at that, that is a complementary piece to things that are going on in our country, our province and our city. People really want to work with Indigenous people face-to-face and shoulder-to-shoulder and create responsive programming that is good for all."
Now in its fifth year of operation, the Indigenous Ensemble brings together high school students to learn and perform traditional dance and music. The members of the ensemble perform and share their learning and culture with schools and students as well as in the wider community.
"Don annually assembles a group of young people that include singers and dancers that perform throughout the school division and the greater community," his nomination reads. "This group gathers after school to engage in ceremony and on a cultural learning journey honouring traditional pedagogy and experiential learning. Don looks to the Elders, Traditional Knowledge Keepers and artisans to holistically work alongside this group."

Cosmetic procedures are in a technical grey area it seems according to government instructions.
Let me just preface this story by saying I know: now is not the time for vanity.
We're all in the middle of a full blown worldwide pandemic which no one knows how to navigate (least of all our government) as well as looking down the barrel of months of being physically isolated from friends, family and services.
It's not looking good. Alas, it's okay to have a human reaction. It's okay to be sad and perplexed and overwhelmed by the whole damn thing. It's okay to wonder how you'll get your grey roots covered, it's okay to be sad about missing your F45 sweat sessions and it's okay to think about things other than the big stuff.
Why you should clean your rings more than ever now. Plus, an ode to shop workers, the unsung coronavirus heros.
As you've no doubt heard, Prime Minister Scott Morrison put a range of restrictions in place at midnight last night to help halt the spread of coronavirus.
"These measures are really draconian … But if we're going to control community transmission, we have to stop the capacity of this virus from spreading from person to person," Murphy said. "[It] is a long haul and that's why we're keen to keep society functioning, but keep society safe," chief medical officer, Brendan Murphy, who joined the PM told media on Tuesday evening.
He announced that beauty salons (including tanning, waxing and nail services) and tattoo shops would be closed indefinitely. Hairdressers and barbers can remain open but appointments can take no longer than 30 minutes (a rule clearly made by a man).
So what exactly does that mean for your injectables appointment? Well, it largely depends if your aesthetic treatment provider is an actual doctor.
"Doctors rooms, whether they be dermatologists, ophthalmologists etc., with the exception of facilities specifically seeing patients for testing for COVID-19, are probably the safest places in the community to be right now," explains Dr Michael Molton, President of the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA).
"This is because strict Infection Control Policies are a mandatory requirement for all Medical Rooms, even before COVID-19, which are called 'Universal Precautions'. Policies such as 'the five moments of hand hygiene' are all normal activities the public probably are not even aware of, but they are there. Certainly there are new measures added to these precautions, which are not necessarily adopted by non-medical facilities."
If you get your injectables done at a spa or clinic however, it's a no go, not to mention that going anywhere at the moment bar the supermarket is against the government's self-isolation recommendations.
"The medical community including cosmetic physicians are very concerned about the spread of COVID-19. From a public health point of view social distancing is incredibly important to slow the spread in order to protect the more vulnerable people in the population. As a doctor in a cosmetic capacity it is impossible to social distance completely and get the job done," explains cosmetic physician, Dr Phoebe Jones.
Problem is, the government instructions are confusing and contradictory. Cosmetic procedures are in a technical grey area it seems according to government instructions.
"Most would consider injectables non-essential, however there are some patients who feel they need some of our services. For example those who are having laser treatments for rosacea and acne or anti-wrinkle injections for migraines and excessive sweating. People can go without these for a little while, but would probably struggle after a few months."
Legitimate medical issues aside though, the big question is if getting Botox or a touch up of your lip filler is worth the possibility of infection, or spreading the virus to someone else who may be at higher risk.
"Personally I'm worried about my frontline medical colleagues. These people are really risking their lives and for them it isn't just an elderly person's disease," Dr Jones says.
"Colleagues of mine will die. And they won't be old. It's heartbreaking."
Bottom line? While there's a lot of frown about, best to bench your Botox appointment for the time being.

Hi everyone, I'm working on a javascript clone of superhexagon (https://www.superhexagon.com/) in order to learn to use Phaser 3. I was wondering what was the best way to generate the same shape multiple time with some rotation tweek and animate them. I need generate them, display them, once they display I need to be able to rotate them and scale them down. Once their scale <= 0 I need to hide and destroy them. I know I need to build a kind of Factory but I can't figure out how to do it with gameObj.add.arc Could you point a part of doc or source code I can dig in to find a solution? I created a pen here https://codepen.io/paulbonneau/pen/KGGbGO Thanks in advance ! Paul.
Hi there, I'd like to procedurally generate a height map in run time and don't want to save it to the image, as it costs in additional overhead. I'm looking for a way to use 2d array instead of image url (the array dimension may serve as a number of subdivisions). Obviously I don't want to rewrite the CreateGroundFromHeightMap function, because this function is works fine and there is no need at all to reinvent a wheel. What I'd expect for, is that CreateGroundFromHeightMap will consist of two functions - the basic one, which receives the two dimensional array, and the wrapper function which converts the image to the 2d array. I'm wondering how can I do it without changing the code of the framework (maybe I'm missing something), and why its's not done this way so far? P.s. If you will look at the implementation of CreateGroundFromHeightMap, you will notice that this is what actually happening there - first of all get the data from the image, and then build the height map. It's just not organized well (or, again, maybe I'm missing something).
Generate items with delay
QuentinIcky posted a topic in Phaser 2Hi all, I'm trying to generate items randomly. For the moment it's ok, but I would like to add a little delay from every items. For exemple, I would like to find a way to generate them every 2scd. My code below : In the create() : emails = level2.add.group(); emails.enableBody = true; In update() function createEmails(mail) { var mail = emails.create(level2.world.randomX, 0, 'email'); mail.width = 50; mail.height = 40; // mail.name = 'mail' + x.toString() + y.toString(); // mail.checkWorldBounds = true; mail.events.onOutOfBounds.add(mailOut, this); var numY = Math.random() * 500 + 200; // Get a number between 200 and 500; mail.body.velocity.y = numY; var numX = Math.floor(Math.random() * 99) + 1; ; numX *= Math.floor(Math.random() * 2) == 1 ? 1 : -1; mail.body.velocity.x = numX; } function startGame(mail) { if (score >= 1000) { emails.destroy() } else if (scoreEnemy >= 1000) { emails.destroy() } else { createEmails(); } } Thanks by advance !
Phaser 2.4.4 level generation problemHello! I'm creating infinite world arcade game with randomly generated levels ("Jetpack Joyride" style). P2 is used as physical engine. Level's floor and platforms are made from instantly generated sprite objects. Camera is static and I'm horisontally-moving sprites along the player. Right now I have some problems with level rendering: After some time of playing (around 30-40 seconds), discontinuities appears on the floor (something like 2-6 pixel spaces). There is an assumption that this is due to the fact that the coordinates of the sprite object specified in integer (eg, tile.x is 1696), and the coordinates of the sprite.body is float (eg tile.body.x is 1696.0000610351562). But these numbers do not differ by a few pixels. They are almost the same. Also, I've tried to do it with tilemaps (instead of sprite objects), but I can't find the way to make collisions with polygons (not the polylines). Thanks for help! var Level = { SETTINGS: { LINE_COUNT: 0, BLOCK_SIZE: 100, BLOCK_VELOCITY: -200, TEMP_FLOOR: {}, FLOORS_X: 0, FLOORS_Y: 1, BLOCKS_X: 0, BLOCKS_Y: 0, SEED: 0 }, createBlock: function(x, y, key, frame, collision) { this.blockElement = game.add.sprite(x, y, key, frame); this.blockElement.anchor.setTo(0.5); game.physics.p2.enable(this.blockElement, debug); this.blockElement.body.clearShapes(); this.blockElement.body.loadPolygon("Level_COLLISIONS", collision); this.blockElement.body.static = true; return this.blockElement; }, createFloorElement: function(Items) { Items.Settings.forEach(function(Item, Index) { Level.SETTINGS.TEMP_FLOOR = Level.createBlock( Item.x, Item.y, "Level", Item.frame, Item.collision ? Item.collision : Item.frame ); Items.Objects.push(Level.SETTINGS.TEMP_FLOOR); Items.Objects[Index].body.velocity.x = Level.SETTINGS.BLOCK_VELOCITY; if(Item.addedWidth) { Level.SETTINGS.FLOORS_X += Items.Objects[Index].width; } }); Items.Objects[Items.Objects.length - 1].createAfter = false; Items.Objects[Items.Objects.length - 1].update = function() { Level.updateFloorElement( Items.Objects[Items.Objects.length - 1], Items.Multiplier, Items.Objects ) }; return Level.SETTINGS.TEMP_FLOOR; }, updateFloorElement: function(element, multiplier, removeObjects) { if (element.body.x < -(Level.SETTINGS.BLOCK_SIZE/2) && !element.createAfter) { element.createAfter = true; removeObjects.forEach(function(object) { object.destroy(); }); Level.SETTINGS.FLOORS_X += -element.width * multiplier; Level.generateFloorElement(Math.random()); } }, generateFloorElement: function() { var FlatBlock = { Settings: [{ x: Level.SETTINGS.BLOCK_SIZE/2 + Level.SETTINGS.FLOORS_X, y: h - (Level.SETTINGS.BLOCK_SIZE/2), frame: "box", collision: "box", addedWidth: true }], Multiplier: 1, Objects: [] }; return this.createFloorElement(FlatBlock, true); }, init: function() { game.world.setBounds(0, 0, w, h); this.world = game.add.tileSprite(0, 0, w, h, 'Level_BG'); this.world.autoScroll(-150, 0); var floorWidth = Math.ceil(w/this.SETTINGS.BLOCK_SIZE) + 1; for(var i = 0; i <= floorWidth; i++) this.generateFloorElement(Math.random()); this.createLevelElement(Math.random()); }}
Collisions on Randomly Generated TerrainOk, need some help/ guidance on what to do. What I have now is a sprite that is being generated randomly using simplex noise. I have successfully masked out the background so I'm left with just the terrain. I will be using this as my ground sprite for each level in my game. So my problem comes to collisions. If I am generating the level's terrain on the fly, how would I go about making player collide with it? I have found some fancy software that you can actually trace out the object and with a click it will generate a polygon shape .json file, but this only works if you have the image prior to using it - which I don't. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Endless landscape with track generation in Babylon.js
binyan posted a topic in Questions & AnswersHi everyone, I'm developing a simple runner game, and I'm wondering what is the best way to implement endless landscape with curved track in Babylon.js. I've read a lot of articles about this, and figured out which techniques to use, but I still cannot figure out how to bring these things to work together. There are several main problems: 1. Generate the landscape 2. Generate the curved track 3. Hide the next landscape prefab so the player wont be aware of the generation process 4. Connect the generated prefab to the current landscape in way that will give a smooth transition. As I understand the best technique to use for the landscape generation is height map based on Perlin Noise generated texture. The question is how can I generate two ground meshes which can connect smoothly each to other. Is there any way to apply constraints on Perlin Noise algorithm? As for generating the track I thought about extrusion based on Bezier Curve points, but again, how can I generate it on the generated landscape? Finally I came to the conclusion that the best way to hide the generation of the next prefab is the turns along the track. I thought about track with hills next to both edges (in other words, the track should be a kind of canyon), and before the transition to the next prefab there should be a sharp turn which hides the prefab. Although a can think about "how it should be implemented" theoretically, a still cannot figure out how can I bring these things to work together. Any help would be appreciated!

"Learn math the way you'd learn anything, like riding a bicycle. Stay on that bicycle. Fall off that bicycle. Do it as long as necessary, until you have mastery. The traditional model, it penalizes you for experimentation and failure, but it does not expect mastery. We encourage you to experiment. We encourage you to fail. But we do expect mastery."If you think there are smart and dumb people you are simply wrong. All we, human beings, are smart, period. In fact we all are equally smart, period. What makes some of you look smarter than others is just the way we as society evaluate and measure intelligence. As it stands, society is plain wrong when it comes to measuring intelligence.
This is an argument that I have so many times that I decided to write it down so that I can share it for the years to come, instead of repeating myself. We can all be prepared for the Fourth Industrial Revolution and for the industrial revolutions yet to come. We just need to stop teaching the way we teach. The learning pace of each individual is sacred and must be respected and applauded because the ones that are ahead could be behind soon. It all comes down to determination for mastery. The determination is affected by the society we live in which rewards the fast learner instead of mastery. The so called "gifted" are just fast learners. To master a subject you just need determination whether you were ever called "gifted" or not.

A fortnight ago, it became even more abundantly clear that the immediate future of Bury Football Club in its current form is under serious jeopardy. Owner Steve Dale, the only director left, made a Company Voluntary Arrangement to the ridiculous number of creditors – for the full shameful and disgraceful list, download the document here. In short, the proposal, if accepted on the 9th of July, will see those entities classed as football creditors paid in full as per the EFL's rules. The rest will have to make do with 25%, and the total debt would then be reduced to a touch under £3m (former chairman Stewart Day's company Mederco are excluded from the scope). The biggest mystery is the mention of Dale himself being a creditor… to the tune of £3.6m. I have seen no documented evidence of the loan in the public domain, and the accounts are now ridiculously overdue. It would however, go a long to explain Dale's reluctance to sell up.
One possible outcome of the proposal being accepted is that the EFL, the self-styled 'competition organisers' will see fit to deduct the Shakers 12 points ahead of the new season, but frankly, that's the least of many fans' worries. 2019/2020 is already a write-off… and that's the best case scenario. Manchester City have served notice to evict their neighbours from Carrington, even though as the CVA confirms, the rent had been a nominal amount. It simply hadn't been maintained. That move will leave them without a training ground, and the news has further damaged whatever was left of Bury's reputation.
Only circa six senior players are still in situ, and no pre-season preparation has even taken place yet. Expect that number to decrease even further in the coming days. The U18s, whose salaries are funded from elsewhere, are in better nick. As ever, their fate is somewhat contingent on the continuing machinations above them. With Ryan Lowe and several other key staff and players firmly ensconced in much more stable surroundings at Plymouth Argyle, the 'search' for a replacement was finally over yesterday. One of the most needlessly bombastic and asinine managerial announcements I've ever read, Paul Wilkinson's credentials are steering Truro City to relegation… into the seventh tier! I can only presume there was a clause in his still-fresh contract with the White Tigers that allowed him to join a pro outfit without compensation.
What that move does is meet the most minimum requirement to creditors that there's a 'plan to move forward'. Very few supporters truly believe the appointment amounts to any more than that, and it is still far from clear if or how Wilkinson will be paid, let alone cobble together a large enough squad to fulfil the fixtures, which start in earnest a month from now. I maintain my belief that they won't be. Others have voted with their wallets, requesting refunds for their season ticket purchases already. Obviously, I don't live close enough to attend regularly, but until Dale has sold the club, I won't be financially supporting Bury in any way; not through merchandise, not through ticketing, not through iFollow (which I cancelled a fortnight ago before it automatically renewed), or by any other means.
Enthusiasm is at an all-time collective nadir, and since Lowe's own departure, there has been no official confirmation from the club about the subsequent leavers, which also means that none of them have been thanked for their selfless service last season. Plenty of observers are predicting Bury won't even reach a positive number of points (should they even be afforded that opportunity). The anguish the ongoing howling shambles is inflicting upon the remaining staff and fans is unprecedented, and goes far, far beyond being upset and angry at witnessing many of last season's heroes depart. Yes, there have almost always been financial problems, but never anything close to this. More are coming round to the depressing realisation that a phoenix club might be the least worst option as things stand.
The state of limbo has left me feeling like a frog slowly boiling in a saucepan, and more pertinently, utterly uncertain how to proceed with this blog, too. In the short term, I'll be focusing on the women's teams, reviewing football related books… and hopefully, not seeing the work I've prepared for previewing every club in League One and Two go to waste.

Hello my dear readers!
As we move towards the close of 2016, I am back with another review. And soon, I will be back with more stuff!
The book I am to review here is titled Secrets, Sins & Struggles – The journeys of five women – by Kamini Kusum.
The cover:
The cover is really something that could garner your attention. With images of women spread across it surely is apt for its stories which have strong female leads. Some strong women who emerge out of dire situations.
The blurb:
Secrets, Sins and Struggles is a collection of short tales. It is about the lives of five women, tracing their long, eventful journeys that are anything but linear.
Meet Pooja, a teenager forced into the flesh trade but determined to escape and get justice.
Shrawani who dreams of becoming a bureaucrat despite all the trials life throws her way.
Avni who is torn between her childhood friend and her brand new boyfriend.
Harsha who is trapped in a loveless marriage while still being daunted by thoughts of her forsaken lover.
Geshna who falls head over heels for a high school sweetheart only to find her own life shrinking to accommodate his.
These stories are about the odds stacked against women in their path to love and success.
They are also about hope that the next turn will lead to the happiness and success they all long for.
About the author:
Kamini Kusum is a management professional working in an MNC. In her eleven years of professional experience, she has worked in top IT companies such as TCS & HCL. She is a movie buff, while writing is her passion. She lives in Delhi with her husband and two daughters.
My review:
The essence of short stories lies in the different genres and emotions that each story has. The different stories in this book, show various situations and the different ways each woman faces and overcomes.
The stories are very interesting and they do keep you intrigued to know how the story would end. It keeps us thinking, what is in store for the main character whose story we are reading. The characters grow not just physically but even emotionally, making them all very humane.
The only trouble as a reader was the flow of the stories. Sometimes they seemed too rushed up. Too many things happen too fast and the narrative seems to be hastening towards the end/climax of the story. But that too I think is because these are short stories. It's indeed difficult to make the story move ahead within constraints.
My rating: 3.5/5
I would recommend it to you if you enjoy short stories. Short stories which let you have a glimpse of the intricacies of the Indian society and the troubles and turmoils women of India go through in most parts of the country. The language and narration was well written. The author certainly deserves praise for writing about the issues and the plight of women everywhere. Do read it if you like short stories! Check out on Amazon.
Let me know what you think of my reviews!
OK folks, so I hope to be back soon with something more!
Lots of love and best wishes.

A: #1 I can't give you any direction without knowing a few things first such as the land your hunting, how you're hunting it, and the quality of bucks in your area. I can tell you about scents, calling, scouting with maps, and such, but the things I suggest may be things you're already doing.
My best suggestion is to take a long hard look at your approach to the hunt, step by step. Then do something different! You know the old saying, "if you always do as you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten"?
Change the area you're hunting, the way you hunt it, and even the times you hunt. Ever pay attention to the number of big buck photos here in Woods & Water that were taken late in the morning and through the middle of the day? Ever hunt the midday? It just might be the tactic to end your big buck drought.
To really help you out, feel free to contact me direct at [email protected]
Best of luck on the hunt!
Toby Benoit
A: #2 Dear Douglas,
Man I feel your pain. Public land hunting is always tough, especially on areas that get the kind of pressure you're talking about.
My best advise is to stick with it or try and venture a little further from home and try some new areas.
If you're die hard to stay with Grove Park and Lochloosa, I would concetrate around north side of Right Arm Marsh and well south of Garrison Hammock Rd on the west side of the lake on Lochloosa.
In Grove Park I would hunt the creek between Camps Canal and 346 as well as work the area between Prison Farm Rd, and the creek north of Fish Camp or the hammock between 301 and Johnson Rd to the northeast.
Don't overlook small pockets of dense cover even though it's surrounded by lots of open land. You never know where one of those old bucks is going to hide out. Many times, the smarts ones hide in plain sight.
Short of putting you in a tree and giving you GPS coordinates, you're just going to have to scout those areas and find the sign that tells you bucks are still working those places. Best advise I can give you is the later in the season it gets, the more you should hunt thick cover close to food sources. And remember, BE UNCONVENTIONAL!
Best of luck and safe hunting.
Chuck Echenique
A: #1I may not be the one to ask, because this is my first year on Grove Park and I have yet to kill a buck there myself! I have seen bucks nearly every trip, however, and all of the guys I hunt with have killed a buck each, and I missed one during Archery Season, so I am no "expert" at killing but certainly I am at seeing them!
We have all of our stands within 10 minutes from our vehicles, and are in hardwood bottoms neat the edge of swamps. We have little hunting pressure, because everyone else seems to walk far from their trucks and scare the deer back to us!
All of the deer have been feeding on acorns so far, and when the acorns are gone, thee will be gall berries in late December and early January. I am glad to hear you have done well on turkeys, because that is why I joined Grove Park to start with!
Email me and we can trade secrets!

| 19°C Dublin
A homeless man who repeatedly stole toothbrushes from Boots despite being arrested several times has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Mareks Treinovskis (32) went into the Grafton Street branch of Boots pharmacy eight times last year to steal electric toothbrushes and razors worth a total of €4,323, a court heard.
None of the toothbrushes were ever recovered. However after one theft, gardaí apprehended Treinovskis outside the Grafton Street store and seized almost €400 worth of stolen Gillette razors from him.
Passing sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today, Judge Melanie Greally asked the investigating garda if anything particular had drawn the accused to the Grafton Street branch of Boots.
The garda replied that Treinovskis "kind of figured out" that the security guard at the Grafton St store did not start work until 11am, and that all of the thefts had taken place between 8:30 and 9am.
Treinovskis pleaded guilty to four counts of theft carried out between February 20 and September 25, 2017. A further four counts were taken into consideration.
The investigating garda told Tom Neville BL, prosecuting, that Treinovskis was first arrested in April last year after being identified on CCTV carrying out two separate thefts of Braun electric shavers and an electric toothbrush.
He was remanded on bail but continued to steal Oral B electric toothbrushes and razors from the store three more times before being arrested again last September.
Treinovskis was again charged and remanded on bail but carried out three further thefts of toothbrushes at the store until he was arrested a final time and went into custody last November.
He has 56 previous convictions, all of which were dealt with at District Court level, including theft, criminal damage and road traffic matters.
Aoife O'Halloran BL, defending, said Treinovskis had stolen the goods to feed his heroin addiction.
She said her client had arrived in Ireland from Latvia during the Celtic Tiger and had worked in construction for eight years.
Ms O'Halloran said Treinovskis had been drinking with friends a number of years ago and had been offered a joint which he thought was cannabis, but turned out to have been laced with heroin.
Since then, she said, Treinovskis had struggled with heroin addiction on and off but was now clean of all drugs and attending a treatment programme at Merchants' Quay.
The court heard that Treinovskis has a young daughter with whom he has intermittent contact although he would like to remedy this.
Judge Greally accepted that Treinovskis had had a good work record and good relationships, but that his addiction to heroin had "rendered all of that part of his past".
She said although Treinovskis claimed to be drug free, she had no evidence to support this. Treinovskis was sentenced to 18 months on all counts, backdated to November 11, 2017.

Grace (charis) is a term which speaks of our participation in God's life. It is God's free gift and favour, helping us to live as the people God has created us to be. Grace brings us close to God, making us holy. Grace is not earned or deserved, nor forced on us. God gifts us and invites our free and loving response. Grace helps us in day to day faithful living. Special graces may assist us in particular moments of our lives. The Sacraments confer grace, God's life and love. Special grace enables each person to live according to their unique calling, or vocation. Grace enables special responsibilities or ministries to be carried out for the sake of others. We may remember precious moments when life was graced with God's presence, life and love. We may have been alone, or with others, surrounded by the beauty of nature, touched by silence. The moment arrived unexpectedly, but left us with a deep sense of blessing, gratitude and gift – grace.

You'd be forgiven for assuming that blood banks and donation centers don't exist in a country where blood is considered a holy form of ethereal life energy or qi. Though less common and harder to locate than in Western cities, Shanghai does offer some opportunities to roll up your sleeves in the name of altruism.
The Shanghai Red Cross Blood Center remains the city's only licensed blood collecting facility, and serves the function of blood collecting, preparing, supplying, research and education. The system has been evaluated by the Shanghai Information Security Testing Evaluation and Certification Center, complies with national safety requirements and has the the highest level designation and security in China.
All you'll need is your passport and a few minutes to fill out a form. Most of the time, walk-in donations are accepted, though do call ahead to make sure. Donation volume can be 200ml or 400ml depending on your preference.
Water and snacks are provided before your blood is screened for HIV, Hepatitis B and C and syphilis, then stored for clinical use.
Years of education and promotion have given way to a shift in attitudes towards blood donation. The local and international communities have been taking active steps to bridge the country's blood deficit and assuage fears about hygiene and safety.
The Indian Association of Shanghai has organized blood drives annually since 2012. Even local doctors are beginning to promote donation more actively. Dr Ashish Maskay of Shanghai Family Hospital, for example, is an active donor. Though initially nervous at the prospect of an unfamiliar clinic, after his first donation at Shanghai Red Cross Blood Center he conceded: "I felt relieved and became a regular donor every six months."
Most healthy adults can donate, though you must be at least 18 years old and no older then 55 years old. Males must weigh over 50kg and females at least 45kg. If you previously suffered from Hepatitis, syphilis, gonorrhea, HIV/AIDS , heart diseases, or tuberculosis, you are unable to donate. If you have participated in any homosexual activities, drug abuse, or have been with multiple sexual partners, you are also ineligible.

Slow Cooker Beef Enchilada Soup
It is as simple as stirring a few ingredients together in the slow cooker in the morning and enjoying a satisfying bowl of soup for dinner.
I recently had a cup of chicken enchilada soup at Chili's and loved it. We don't eat there often, but it has become the standard dinner after the boys get their haircuts since its nearby. Nothing makes you hungry for a kid's meal at a chain restaurant like getting your hair cut I suppose. Anyway, I wouldn't exactly call this a Chili's copycat recipe, but it was definitely inspired by that soup.
I could eat Mexican food seven days a week and never get tired of it, but sometimes you need to mix it up beyond the standard tacos, nachos, enchiladas, and those kinds of things. This was a warm, comforting way to enjoy my favorite flavors, and it would be hard to find an easier recipe for busy weeknights!
Slow Cooker Enchilada Soup
Serves 4-5
- 1 lb. beef stew meat
- 28 oz. can red enchilada sauce
- 10 oz. can cheese soup
- 15 oz. can black beans, drained
- 15 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
- 15 oz. can beef broth
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 c. shredded Mexican cheese
- sour cream, optional
- crushed tortilla chips, optional
1.Add all ingredients EXCEPT shredded cheese, sour cream, and chips to slow cooker. Stir together, and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 6 hours.
2.About 15 minutes before serving, stir in shredded cheese and continue cooking on low (or reduce heat to low).
3.Top individual servings with crushed tortilla chips and sour cream if desired. YUM!
