Do you back someone who's been important to us in the last couple of years, or do you go to someone that is in form?
England coach Trevor Bayliss has insisted that the tournament hosts will stick with their aggressive approach during the Champions Trophy despite a chastening defeat by South Africa.
Bayliss's men suffered a seven-wicket loss at Lord's on Monday in their final one-day international before they launch the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh across London at the Oval on Thursday.
The reverse was notable for England slumping to 20 for six in the first five overs -- the worst start by any side in ODI cricket history.
Several batsmen tried to hit their way out of trouble against Kagiso Rabada and Wayne Parnell despite accurate bowling from the new-ball duo made more dangerous by cloudy skies and a green-tinged pitch.
Afterwards, England captain Eoin Morgan was critical of the strip prepared at his Lord's home ground.
But overcast conditions, which aid swing bowling, are beyond anyone's control and it may be that batsmen need to play themselves in a bit first in such circumstances, as England's Jonny Bairstow did while top-scoring for the hosts with a fifty at Lord's.
Australian coach Bayliss, however, was keen Monday's reverse does not lead to a policy change given England's impressive 'white-ball' revival in the two years since a defeat by Bangladesh sealed their first-round exit from the 2015 World Cup.
"I haven't seen a team win a global tournament playing defensively," said Bayliss.
"It's always a team that backs itself and plays bold cricket," the former Sri Lanka coach added. "From that point of view the message won't change."
Bayliss has also emphasised the need for consistency in selection, but that will be put to the test as England ponder whether to stick with struggling opener Jason Roy, who plays at the Oval for Surrey, or give Bairstow a shot at the top of the order instead.
England's stunning slump against South Africa featured Roy's fourth single-figure score in his last five innings.
By contrast, Bairstow has now scored three fifties in his last four ODI innings yet still is not an England white-ball regular.
He has opened in limited overs cricket at county level, making 174 for Yorkshire against Durham this month.
Bayliss, summing up England's dilemma, said: "Do you back someone who's been important to us in the last couple of years, or do you go to someone that is in form?
"That's a decision we have got to make."
Turning to Roy, he admitted: "You worry about anyone that is out of runs.
"But he's been important to us in the last two years, the way he plays at the top of the order, so for us to do well in this tournament, one of the things we will need is Jason playing well.
"Having said that, the way Jonny is playing -- and he has shown to us this year he can play at the top of the order - we're in a good position with someone who is ready and raring to go."
Meanwhile Bayliss reckoned there was little to be gained from asking Roy to rein himself in.
"Jason is probably one of the guys who you say, 'If the ball is there you hit it', whether that's first or second ball," he said.
"Sometimes some of those players can get into a bit of a rut and start thinking about too much, rather than just keeping it nice and simple and just see the ball and hit it."
England have never won a major global ODI event but Bayliss was cautiously optimistic about their Champions Trophy prospects.
"We've got a chance," he said.
"I'm not saying we're outright favourites, there are a lot of good teams that can beat anyone on their day."- AFP

There were so many things that happened during the beginning that it was difficult to put down on a page. One event I feel the need to report is when they had her on the ventilator.
Salem Hospital made the decision to put the tube down her throat. We have to assume they made the best decision for her at that time. The ICU doctor at OHSU was immediately questioning as to why they had made that tremendous leap. We couldn't answer that. We weren't in the room and we were all pretty much in shock. The ICU doctor (Evan) assured us that they would do all they could to get her off of the ventilator as soon it was possible. He said that they would do a couple of tests each day to see how she'd do without it.
Later that same day her ICU nurse, Marlene, was working on lowering her sedation to prep her for the first test. Whenever the sedation was lowered too much, you could see the panic begin. They had her in restraints, but she could still move around and figure out a way to grasp the tubes. Another nurse, Gus, would come in and readjust the sedation whenever he was in the room. I was thankful for that. Her numbers would go up whenever she became agitated and began to struggle. I know that Marlene was just trying to do what she'd been instructed to do to prepare her for the first test, but it was hard to watch and eventually they escorted us out.
Jon and I, left and sat to wait in what they called "The Gallery". An area still inside the ICU, but made to offer a view and a somewhat comfortable seat. After about 5 minutes, Marlene came and said that they needed my help. I wondered how I could possibly help, but followed behind her. About 8 doctors surrounded her bed. She was wild eyed and determinedly struggling against the restraints. Marlene guided me over towards the side of her bed. The head doctor told me that they wanted to perform the first test of lowering the oxygen level to see if she could breath on her own without the ventilator, but they wouldn't be able to perform the test if she persisted in struggling. "Good luck", I thought to myself, but I grasped her wrist and put my forehead against hers. I looked her in the eyes and in an urgent whisper I informed her, "you are sooo close to getting rid of this damn tube. you can do this." She immediately calmed down and stopped struggling, but I continued my hold and to press foreheads with her. There were murmurs around the bed and then the head doctor announced that 'he didn't know why they put her on the ventilator in in the first place. Let's remove it.'. They told her how important it was for her not to struggle as her vocal cords could be damaged and I continued to keep my place beside her. What a great relief when that damned thing was out! With my forehead still against hers, she looked at me and asked, "where are you?".
"I'm right here with you in the ICU at OHSU."
"Oh. Okay."
"where are my glasses?"

The smart and sophisticated design of David Reid Homes Counties' show home has resulted in a Supreme NZ Kitchen Design Award at the 2018 NKBA - NZ Excellence in Design Awards for its kitchen.
The European design inspired kitchen won a total of six awards at the event, predictably the first of many.
David Reid Homes Counties worked in synergy with award-winning architect Andrew Daly of AD Architects, interior designer Harriet Pilkington from Young + Richards, and kitchen designer Leonie Metge of Cube 3 Canterbury to create the luxurious family home in Karaka Lakes.
The team had a vision to create a home fit for entertaining, and the beautifully designed kitchen quickly became it's centrepiece, sitting directly in front of a set of expansive sliding doors and overlooking impressive views of the development's lake, fountain and bridge.
It features a cantilevered limestone benchtop and handcrafted vertical American Oak timber cabinetry.
Careful design ensures the kitchen is cohesive with the entire home, which incorporates a range of features designed to contribute to an overall contemporary look and feel.
This begins outside with three key materials making up the exterior of the home; concrete tilt panel, metal euro colour steel flat tray profile, and abodo timber cladding, arranged cleverly to fit into its natural surroundings.
The entrance showcases a beautifully patterned steel screen and a reclaimed steel folding staircase within, as well as the American Ash ceilings which extend from the hallway, up the stairs and into the home's quiet bedroom spaces, cleverly tucked away from entertaining areas.
A large bay window seat in the main living area makes the most of lake views, and flows seamlessly onto a large undercover outdoor deck, which is perfect for entertaining.
This home has two staircases separating the master suite from it's other bedrooms, making it suitable for a family with teenage children or someone who often has guests.
A luxurious feel is included throughout, with underfloor heating on the entire ground floor and all bathrooms, which are impeccably designed and feature floor to ceiling Italian tiles.
Matte black lighting switch gears and automated wireless home lighting technology confirms that style and smart technology go hand in hand; a NERO System by Schneider Electric enabling the eventual home owners to control their lighting remotely.
This stunning home is open to view daily at 8 Edgewater Drive, Karaka Lakes from 11am until 4pm, or by appointment. You can also explore it further here.

Tiki Farm's New Line of Limited Edition Tiki Mugs!
The Tiki culture hit the US in the mid-30s, and took the country by storm after WWII. From the 1939 World's Fair in California, which for the first time celebrated this Polynesion-inspired culture, to James Michener's Tales of the South Pacific (1948), which led to the musical South Pacific, we embraced this tropical decor and fare quite rapidly. When Hawaii became the 50th US state, it became a popular travel destination, further igniting our love of all things Tiki.
Plenty of Tiki statues, mugs and decorations from the '30s to the '60s are considered collectible. From Tiki Farm's latest artist-designed creations come these limited edition mugs. Known for known for quality and originality, Tiki Farm has been a leader in production of Tiki mugs for decades, and these latest ones are reminiscent of yesteryear.
These unique and collectible pieces are a true Pacific-flavored work of art. With a substantial feel and gorgeous glaze, they'll look as great on the shelf as they do in your hand… if you're so inclined to shake up a tasty cocktail (and you'll find plenty of recipes right here).
Even those who don't host backyard luaus will appreciate these intricate designs. Just take a look at the Rock-a-Hula ceramic tiki mug (left). It holds 13 ounces and stands 7″ tall. Part of the Hulabilly Trio, this design is a collaboration of Tiki Farm and artist Derek Yaniger. (Rock-a-Hula goes together with Ernest T and Unkle Kranky.)
The bottom of each piece includes the artist's signature, authenticating each mug.

United States District Court, D. Montana
June 27, 2018
MID CONTINENT CASUAL TY COMPANY, Plaintiff,v.ALAN ENGELKE, DRY PRAIRIE RURAL WATER AUTHORITY, and DOES 1-10, Defendants.
the Court are Defendant Alan Engelke's Motion fr Summary
Judgment (Doc. 41), Defendant Dry Prairie Rural Water
Authority's Motion fr Summary Judgment (Doc. 44), and
Plaintiff Mid Continent Casualty Company's Motion fr
Partial Summary Judgment (Doc. 48). For the following
reasons, Defendants' motions are granted in part and
denied in par, and Mid-Continent's Motion fr Partial
Summary Judgment is granted in part ad denied in par.
Statement of Facts
In the
fall of 2013, Dry Prairie hired Alan Engelke, an excavator in
northeaster Montana, to assist in extending Dry Prairie's
water lines to real property owed by Joseph Picard. (Doc.
55-5 at 12:18-23). Dry Prairie needed Engelke to dig a trench
on Picard's property, in which Dry Prairie would place
underground water lines for a new house on the property.
(Id. at 15:10-17). At that time, Engelke had an
independent contractor's exemption with the State of
Montana. (Doc. 47-2 at 38:20-24).
Dry Prairie marked the excavation route, Engelke spoke with
Picard and looked over the property. (Doc. 50-1 at 26:2-4;
Doc. 55-1 at 14:5-15:8). Picard advised Engelke that there
were underground lines beneath the property, including a
saltwater disposal line from an oil well (the Anvil Well)
approximately three quarters of a mile away. (Id.).
Based on his work in the field, Engelke knew that a salt
water disposal line is used to transfer salt water from the
oil pump to a salt water recovery station during the oil
pumping process. (Id. at 14:15-15:16). Based on
Picard's description of where he thought the salt water
line was located, Engelke believed his excavation trenching
would not reach the salt water line. (Id. at
14:5-15:8). Picard also told Engelke that there would be some
lines that may not be in use any more and not to worry about
them. (Id. at 14:8-10; 14:25-15:3).
also contacted Montana's One-Call Notification Center to
obtain information concerning the location of underground
facilities on Picard's property. (Id. at 8:6-9).
A One-Call ticket was generated on September 29, 2013,
identifying those individuals or entities registered with the
Notification Center with underground facilities in the area
of Engelke's proposed work. (Id.). While some
lines were identified on the ticket, the saltwater disposal
line was not, since the then-owner of the Anvil Well, Windy
Butte, had not registered the location of the line with the
Notification Center. (Doc. 47-3 at 65:10-19).
after obtaining the One-Call ticket, Engelke began his
excavation. (Doc. 55-1 at 8:6-10). He provided his own
equipment and insurance for the job. (Doc. 47-2 at 37:14-22).
While excavating, Engelke felt a "pop," and both
ends of a line came to the surface. (Id. at 8:8-17).
The line was not in use and appeared to Engelke to be
abandoned. (Id. at 10:8-15). After hitting the line,
Engelke spoke with Picard. Picard told Engelke that he also
believed the line was abandoned because a local construction
company had previously hit a line fairly close to the one
Engelke hit, which they determined had been abandoned. (Doc.
47-4 at 15:23-16:25). Picard went out to see the line and
told Engelke he was pretty sure the line was abandoned and
that any active line ran elsewhere. He told Engelke that if
it were him, he would bury the line. (Id. at
25:20-23). Engelke buried the line and finished the project.
(Doc. 50-2 at 23:25-24:5). He billed Dry Prairie a set amount
for the job. (Doc. 47-2 at38:11-15).
Engelke had hit the saltwater disposal line, which was placed
back into operation a few months later. (Doc. 50-3 at
39:11-14). Because of the damage to the line, salt water
running through the line was discharged into the ground,
causing damage. (Id. at 39:11-40:11). By the time
the line was placed back into service, the Anvil Well with
which the saltwater disposal line was associated, had
transferred ownership twice. (Id. at 57-5 at ¶
4). At the time the discharge occurred, the Anvil Well was,
and still is, owned by Avery Bakken. (Id. at
¶¶ 3-4). It is disputed whether the saltwater
disposal line at issue transferred with the Anvil Well during
the ownership transfers. (Doc. 53-1 at 73:2-76:18).
Avery Bakken was charged by the State Oil and Gas Commission
to clean up the release. (Id.) Mid-Continent insured
Avery Bakken's loss. (Doc. 54-3). Mid Continent now
stands in Avery Bakken's shoes seeking subrogation. The
parties have stipulated that all previous owners of the Anvil
Well during the relevant time frame are the same company for
purposes of this lawsuit.
Applicable Law
Rule of Civil Procedure 56(a) entitles a party to summary
judgment "if the movant shows that there is no genuine
dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to
judgment as a matter of law." A movant may satisfy this
burden where the documentary evidence produced by the parties
permits only one conclusion. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby
Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 251 (1986). "[T]he mere
existence of some alleged factual dispute between the parties
will not defeat an otherwise properly supported motion for
summary judgment." Id. at 247-48. There must be
a genuine dispute as to any material fact, which is a fact
"that may affect the outcome of the case."
Id. at 248.
considering a motion for summary judgment, the court may not
weigh the evidence or make credibility determinations, and
the court must construe all facts in the light most favorable
to the non-moving party. Nelson v. City of Davis,
571 F.3d 924, 928 (9th Cir.2009) (citation omitted). When
presented with cross-motions for summary judgment on the same
matters, the court must "evaluate each motion
separately, giving the non-moving party the benefit of all
reasonable inferences." American Civil Liberties
Union of Nevada v. City of Las Vegas, 333 F.3d 1092,
1097 (9th Cir. 2003).
the Montana Dig Law, codified at Mont. Code. Ann. §
69-4-501, et seq., owners of underground facilities
like water lines or fiber optic cables register their
underground lines with a One-Call Notification Center. Prior
to excavating in a particular area, an excavator must call
into the Notification Center and provide the location of
their intended excavation operations. The Notification Center
issues a ticket that identifies the registered underground
lines in the area. The ticket is provided to the excavator
and the registered owners of the underground lines existing
in that particular location. The underground owners then have
a period of time to go on site and mark the location of their
lines so that the excavator does not hit them. The Dig Law
also provides direction in the event that an excavator
encounters unmarked underground facilities during excavation.
argues that once Engelke uncovered the saltwater disposal
line, he had a duty, evidenced by certain sections of the Dig
Law, to stop his excavation operations and advise the line
owner or the One-Call Notification Center that he had damaged
the line. (Doc. 45 at 8-9). Mid-Continent argues that summary
judgment on liability is appropriate because Engelke did not
stop excavating and instead buried the line, allowing the
damage to remain, which ultimately resulted in property
damage once the Anvil Oil well was placed back into service
and saltwater leached out of the damaged line. (Doc. 49 at
8-13). Mid-Continent asserts this duty exists under both a
common law negligence theory and a negligence per se theory.
(Doc. 49, Doc. 54 at 27).
Prairie asserts that Mid-Continent is not entitled to
maintain this subrogation action because it has not made its
insured/subrogor whole. Additionally, Defendants argue that
Mid-Continent's negligence per se theory fails because
Engelke did not breach the statute and Mid-Continent is not a
member of the class the statute intends to protect. (Doc. 43
at 6-8; Doc. 45 at 4-8). Defendants argue that
Mid-Continent's common law negligence claim is pre-empted
by Montana's Dig Law, codified at Mont. Code Ann.
69-4-501, et seq. (Doc. 43 at 5; Doc. 45 at 4). Dry
Prairie also argues that even if Mid-Continent's common
law claim is not pre-empted, Mid-Continent cannot establish a
prima facie case of negligence because it does not have an
expert who can establish that Engelke's actions were
negligent. (Doc. 52 at 6-9). The court addresses each of
these arguments in turn.
Mid-Continent is Entitled to Pursue Subrogation
Montana, an insured must be "totally reimbursed for all
losses as well as all costs" before the insurer is
entitled to seek subrogation against a third party.
Swanson v. Hartford Ins. Co. of Midwest, 46 P.3d
584, 587 (Mont. 2002). Dry Prairie argues that Mid-Continent
has not reimbursed Avery Bakken for the full amount Avery
Bakken paid out for property damage resulting from the
saltwater release. (Doc. 52 at 4). As a result, Dry Prairie
argues that Mid-Continent cannot pursue its claim for
subrogation under Montana law. The undisputed facts before
the court reflect otherwise.
Avery testified by affidavit that Mid-Continent fully paid
Avery Bakken for all the amounts Avery Bakken paid in
connection with the saltwater release. (Doc. 61-1 at 8).
Additionally, in its discovery responses, Mid-Continent sets
out all the amounts it expended on clean up, including those
amounts paid to Avery Bakken, which amounts to full
reimbursement. (See Doc. 55-4 at 2). Dry Prairie has
not produced any evidence that disputes Avery's testimony
or the amounts listed in Mid-Continent's discovery
responses. Accordingly, the court finds that Mid-Continent is
entitled to stand in the shoes of Avery Bakken and its
subrogation claim may lawfully proceed.
Mid-Continent's Claims are not Preempted
on the recent case AT&T Corporation v. Jackson
Utilities, LLC, 2017 WL 2296994 (D. Mont. 2017),
Defendants argue that Mid-Continent's common law
negligence claims are preempted by the Montana Dig Law, Mont.
Code Ann. § 69-4-501 et seq., so only
Mid-Continent's negligence per se claim may move forward.
The court disagrees.
Defendants read the court's preemption determination in
Jackson too broadly. There, AT&T brought
negligence and negligence per se claims against Jackson, an
excavator, because Jackson damaged an AT&T underground
fiber optic cable while excavating. Id. at *6.
AT&T's negligence claim centers on the damage Jackson
caused to its fiber optic cable during excavation.
Jackson, 2017 WL 2296994 at * 1. In contrast,
Mid-Continent's negligence claim focus on Engelke's
conduct after he damaged the saltwater disposal
line, and the ensuing saltwater release that stemmed from
that conduct, not damage to the line itself. (See
Doc. 61 at 11, stating "[t]he focus is on Engelke's
negligent acts and omissions after he struck and
damaged the Line and the cause of damages that flowed from
those negligent acts and omissions." (Emphasis in
distinction between AT&T's claim and
Mid-Continent's claim is critical. While the Dig Law
carves out statutorily-mandated remedies and damage fees for
excavator-caused damage to underground facilities like fiber
optic lines and saltwater disposal lines, see Mont.
Code Ann. § 69-4-505(1)-(2), it does not address
restoration damages that stem from excavator-caused damage to
the underground facility, like a saltwater release. In other
words, the Dig Law declares excavators' duties with
respect to calling, reporting, and trenching while located
within the vicinity of underground facilities, and sets out
liability and damages when excavators damage underground
facilities. See gen. Mont. Code Ann. §
69-4-501, et seq. As a result, under Montana law, no
common law claim may exist with respect to such claims. Mont.
Code Ann. § 1-1-108, ("there is no common law in
any case where the law is declared by statute.55).
Accordingly, under circumstances like those in
Jackson, a claimant may bring a claim for a
statutory violation, but not a negligence claim, whether it
be common law or negligence per se.[1]
however, the Dig Law specifically provides that remedies
other than those covered by the Dig Law may be pursued in the
event of an excavator's negligence. See Mont.
Code Ann § 69-4-505(4) ("[t]he act of obtaining
information as required by this part... does not excuse the
excavator from liability for any damage or injury resulting
from the excavator's negligence."). This language
signals that the Legislature intended to carve out specific
statutory remedies for damages caused to underground
facilities, but no more. In other words, claims for
restoration damages, like Mid-Continent's, are not
preempted by the statute, and may proceed under a negligence
theory. The court turns to those two theories.

"Leadership that listens." That is the slogan on Jon Nehring's political campaign signs. It is unfortunate that it is all too common for our political leaders of today to make promises and slogans that are nothing but that; slogans. Fortunately for the citizens of Marysville, our mayor does more than just make slogans. He actually does what the slogans say.
The Mayor has sat down with members of Marysville Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 3219 on multiple occasions. He told our members that he had an "Open Door Policy" and encouraged each of us to contact him at any time with questions and concerns. On each occasion he has listened to our concerns related to the safety and well-being of Marysville's citizens. He has made Public Safety his number-one priority as mayor. He demonstrated this to our members when he asked for our endorsement and continues to demonstrate this to us in our discussions. When told that our Local had serious concerns over issues of Public Safety, he found ways to educate himself on the issues. He has worked to improve communications between the Fire Administration, the Fire District Board of Directors, the City Council and his office. Our citizens probably haven't seen or felt any of the effects of his work at this level, but the positive impacts on their safety are apparent to all of us in the Professional Firefighter's Local.
Jon Nehring has worked to improve revenues for the city and at the same time has been a part of finding ways to balance the budget and has used conservative spending to continue to provide services to the citizens of Marysville. He has shown us that he is interested in forming important relationships with individuals and groups who can help him be more effective in guiding Marysville through these difficult economic times. This is a person who has long-term goals for the city and is energetic and dynamic enough to see those goals to their end successes.
"Leadership that listens" is a simple enough slogan but Mayor Jon Nehring has turned that slogan into a guiding principal in his role as Marysville's mayor. This is why Marysville's Professional Firefighters have fully endorsed Jon Nehring in this election and why we encourage the citizens of Marysville to vote for him in November.

text: Carly Jones During World Autism Awareness Week 2019, we're interviewing five autistic people about how they experience the five things autistic people said they wanted the public to know about. Carly Jones MBE is an autistic woman and campaigner for the rights of autistic women and girls. She shares her story about experiencing sensory overload as an autistic parent to autistic children… On Sunday evening, in the middle of a service station, I reached my limit. After a full week of work, travelling to London and my daughter's birthday party, I had to leave my, albeit, grown up children with my parents and remove myself immediately from the people passing by, chitter chatter, blaring lights and contrasting shop music. I retreated to the car. Luckily my dad was the designated driver, so I kept my eyes shut on the way home, just pretending to sleep. Everyone sounded like they were underwater. After the rest of the family went to bed that evening, I turned all the household lights off and slept for ten hours. Sensory overload is agony. It's like one hundred people scraping nails down a blackboard. With so few adult autistic women portrayed in media, sensory overload is often considered something that happens to children. It's certainly not to be expected from a fully grown women. Being a parent who is autistic also requires a transition from being the live wire to insulating our natural reactions. We don't want to embarrass our children and are often too busy catering for their sensory needs to even consider our own. As a home educator for my secondary school age child, professional campaigner and leader of local groups for autistic children, I work very hard to schedule my life to make it work for my family. I feel that masking as a parent is draining, but often necessary. As your children grow up, it becomes easier to have your own identity and quirks accepted by other parents, but when they are small, it's tough. You can't roll up to mother and baby coffee mornings wearing sunglasses and not chat or make eye contact. The whole set up is designed for mass communication, sing songs and teaching baby eye contact. Some days the subject matters varied from what fabric conditioner everyone is using or what time their husbands ended work, it was soul destroying. I love being a mum so I'd mask my way through the mother and baby groups for my child's sake, but I'll never fathom the small talk, cliques and competing post-natal mothers. The consequences of masking your sensory needs in noisy soft play areas, echoing public swimming pools, and blinking fairground rides is that you have to schedule the rest of your life around them. I know if I am planning anything sensory triggering, I have to make sacrifices. I need alone at home with the lights off to compensate. Two of my three daughters were diagnosed as autistic at six and two years old. After a lifetime of challenges, vulnerability and misunderstanding, I finally understood why I react to things differently. When I was at school, a teacher shouted at me for day dreaming and covering my head with my arms under the bright strip lighting in class. I was 15 but she made me sit with the 11 year olds as I was "acting like a baby." I was in so much pain. Autistic women and girls are often better at masking their difficulties or are brought up to be more compliant. The effect of this is that autism is being missed, leaving autistic women vulnerable to physical and emotional abuse. When I was finally diagnosed as autistic, I was 32 years old. I sometimes recall the challenges, disbelief and discrimination we faced as a family of autistic females and feel physically sick. I never dreamed there would be whole conferences, shows and news articles just about autistic women. But if I could wave a magic wand when the Government reviews its autism strategy this year, autistic women and girls would have legislative plans for autistic specific sex education, safeguarding, access to smear tests, healthcare and criminal justice understandings. We may confuse control as care, or have less body boundaries due to different care needs. I was invited to speak the United Nations Social Forum on the theme of disabilities, gender quality and education and shared models of the good changes I have seen develop in the UK since I started campaigning for autistic people, highlighting why autistic women and girls must not be left behind in any process nationally or internationally ever again. When I received my MBE for services to autistic people in 2018, it was without a doubt the very best day of my life. I want autistic girls know they are limitless, persistence pays off and more importantly that we can push harder, go further and help more people than ever. There is a phrase that says "I didn't get this far to get this far." We're seeing a new start to awareness and equality for autistic people, not the end. Take part in World Autism Awareness Week

This Week in Upper School 2/20-2/23, 2018
Upper School Staff
Friday, February 23, 2018
This week our 8th grade students participated in the YourSPACE program which focuses on educating teens on recognizing healthy and unhealthy relationships, understanding consent and communication skills, and finding resources if they find themselves in dangerous situations. They were able to have a wonderful discussion about personal and community safety and had such insightful questions and comments.
AEC 7th and 8th grade students recently had the opportunity to take part in the Junior Lifeguarding program. PE teachers Becky Lamph and Aaron Turnier spent two weeks teaching preliminary lifeguarding skills with plenty of physical fitness drills. Junior Lifeguarding has a strong focus on developing swimming skills to help participants meet the Lifeguarding course prerequisite. The course also introduces participants to lifesaving skills, such as in-water rescues, use of a rescue tube, and first aid, CPR and AED.
On Thursday, March 1, Middle School students will spend the morning attending their classes each with a Purim twist! The afternoon will feature the Megillah reading, a costume wars competition, and the ever-popular Purim carnival. Attendance will be taken.
Yesterday, a group of Seniors went to play with the kindergarten classes. They 8 Seniors first introduced themselves and then each kindergarten student did the same as they went up and met the Seniors. After that, the Seniors played with them on the playground during their recess. The Seniors commented how much fun it was. For most, they began their Adelson schooling on that side of the building.
During today's Upper School Shabbats, students had the privilege of hearing from Rabbi Shuchat the rabbi of Congregation Ohr Bamidbar. Rabbi Shuchat shared stories and insights into this week Torah portion.
Purim is next Thursday! High school students will spend the morning volunteering at different organizations in our community, such as Red Rock Canyon, Pueblo Park, Habitat for Humanity, and Project Linus. Attendance will be taken!
Art and Arts & Innovation students 9-12th grades visited the Barrick Museum of Art at UNLV today. They saw exhibits of ancient West Mexican ceramic vessels and mixed media artwork of artists with ties to Las Vegas. In this photo, students observe and analyze what they see as well as evaluate what the artist is trying to communicate. The photo on the right is of the group in front of Claes Oldenburg's Flashlight sculpture.
A representative from the Rape Crisis Center came to discuss important and relevant subjects of the legal definition of sexual harassment/violence with the 11th and 12th graders on Tuesday. The students demonstrated they retained a good bit of information from last year and asked thoughtful questions during the session. An advocate from RCC came to share with the 9th and 10th graders the important work she does on behalf of victims of sexual assault.

Many people are wondering which is the best whole grain flour for baking. This is an important question as to the type of ingredients used all have very different health benefits. In recent years more and more people have been making the switch to healthier and more natural alternatives.
Chemicals And Pesticides In The Food
In the past few years, there has been growing concern about the amounts of chemicals and pesticides in our food. This is thought to be having a profound and long term effect of people. Many families are making a conscious decision to switch to more healthy and natural options. This includes the flour they use to bake bread and cakes. Bread is a staple food in practically every home and it can provide a significant source of nutrition.
Up until a couple of generations ago, people made their own food at home. They ate only locally produced ingredients that had been made with no chemical additives. Food was much better quality and wholesome. It seems as though things are moving full circle with so much interest in all the new organic food that is available. There are a tremendous number of wonderful, tasty options which include not only wheat but rye, corn, rice, barley, and oats.
As whole wheat flour is made from the entire kernel it is loaded with fiber. Fiber is often lacking in our modern diet. It is essential to a healthy digestive tract. Milling your own flour is also a great option that is actually quite easy to do. Mills for home use are quite affordable and are perfect for grinding each batch freshly as it is needed.
Many people are trying to eliminate gluten from their diet. Some people have a serious intolerance to it, whilst others just see it as an unnecessary part of their life. Whatever the reason it is quite possible to live a very healthy life without gluten. The ancient grains, particularly spelled, are seen growing popularity as people realize just how tasty they are. Many people are only too happy to make this quick and easy substitution.
Great Taste Of The Baked Foods
Many people love the taste of foods baked with wholesome stone ground flour. This centuries-old method is still the best way to grind the wheat for baking. The entire kernel is used and this helps to add many extra nutrients as well as excellent taste.
Those on a gluten-free diet are very happy to make their own bread and other bakery items. This allows them to have fresh and delicious items that do not cost so much. They can often find a local cooperative that sells flour in bulk at really good prices. Using spelled or one of the other ancient grains is a really nice alternative and offers excellent results.
Those with young children in the home need to be especially careful about the quality and origins of their food. People can no longer trust the labels to be completely honest about the contents and growing conditions of the item. Finding a supplier of the best whole grain flour for baking is a great way to protect the entire family.

Tynan talks about living life at extremes and explains very well why he does so and how he (or anyone that lives life in a similar way) benefits from it in this article http://tynan.com/going-extreme
Even after reading the article though, the benefits are not always obvious when it's your life, and even when they are, what one gives up in the form of comfort with what's familiar to them, or with what's expected of them by their peers makes it a heck of a lot harder than Ty makes it seem.
BUT, If you're all in on this mindset and want to wrap your head around it as a complete lifestyle, I want to help with an aspect of with this post.
This was written in response to a post written by Cal Newport on his blog "Study Hacks". I highly recommend that you read it first, as it will give you some context. If you'd really rather not, then the summary of his post titled '"Write Every Day" is Bad Advice: Hacking the Psychology of Big Projects" is that when you say "I'm going to write 1,000 words a day so I can be as prolific as Steven King" (whose writing goal for each day is, indeed, 1,000 words) you are setting yourself up for some discouraging cognitive dissonance when you fail to meet this mark. If miss a day, and then another, you become more and more convinced that your plan is not working, that you are "failing" and therefore less and less inclined & therefore likely to stick with your goal the next day. He suggests instead looking at it week by week and seeing what are expectations that take into account that day, week, or month's demands that are reasonable, and therefore more likely to be accomplished and keep your momentum and confidence high, and your cognitive dissonance low.
Enter my response, and the meat of this post:
I agree with Cal's point, but I don't think that the advice "write every day" is necessarily a bad idea. To explain, let me touch on how triathletes train.
Triathlons start with a swim, then a bike ride, then finish with a run. So, obviously, in order to win you have to be really good at all three, and in order to improve it is of course tempting to work on all three at once. Triathletes don't do this…kinda.

These debates are timely with the work going on within Avon and Somerset on these very issues. At the start of June, the way women offenders are supported in Avon and Somerset was highlighted in a national thought provoking report by crime and justice specialists Crest Advisory. Avon and Somerset's SHE (Support, Help and Engagement) programme provides evidence to the debate that women offenders need a different approach to men due to their different offending patterns, needs and vulnerabilities. Women offenders are frequently among the most vulnerable individuals in society, often suffering from abuse, substance misuse and mental health problems. It is also for these reasons that the existence of strong family ties is so crucial to rehabilitation.
Crest Advisory's report argues that offenders, particularly women need personalised and tailored approaches to deliver a better balance between punishment and rehabilitation. SHE, in Avon and Somerset, applies to any woman who is arrested for a low level offence, and is over the age of 18. It's a voluntary referral scheme, where women are offered support and intervention to prevent reoffending. Those referred to the scheme are provided with an initial appointment with a SHE worker at a local female support hub, delivered by the Nelson Trust. We are lucky to have some fantastic charities offering woman specialist services and one-to-one support across our area. It's essential that we better rehabilitate offenders, reduce offending and ultimately cut crime in our communities.
Last week I was delighted to once again jointly host the Be Proud awards, recognising the best on the beat across Avon and Somerset Constabulary. It truly is one of the most special nights of my year. I love hearing all the remarkable stories from individuals and teams and seeing their families, partners and loved ones well up with pride as certificates and trophies are handed out. This is the one awards ceremony within Avon and Somerset Constabulary where we ask local people to nominate police officers, staff, volunteers and teams and I would like to say a big thank you to all our residents who took the time to nominate someone. It means a lot to all our winners and to me and the Chief Constable. You can find out about all our finalists on my website www.avonandsomerset-pcc.gov.uk

Cruise Planners' 10 Trends Shaping Travel in 2016
Features & Advice Robin Amster January 06, 2016
TravelPulse file photo
Competition is intensifying in the cruise space just as cruise lines are filling ships further out. Those are two of the New Year's top ten travel trends, according to Cruise Planners, a franchise network of 1,400 home-based travel professionals.
The group reports it is already seeing double digit growth in sales for 2016.
"Travel is back in a big way; 2016 is already off to a strong start in the travel industry and I am glad travel agents are playing a huge role in that growth," said Michelle Fee, Cruise Planners' CEO and co-founder.
"Also, consumers are booking further out. We are already seeing more bookings for 2016 and into the next few years."
Cruise Planners' top 2016 travel trends are:
• More Inventory: With more cruise ships than ever before for both ocean and river cruises, competition is heating up. Cruise lines are responding in different ways, including featuring exotic itineraries, offering more value for clients, building huge mega ships, and introducing new river cruise ships. They're also aggressively marketing to new-to-cruise consumers. Cruise Planners predicts even more new cruise products.
• Selling Early: Cruise lines are filling ships further out. That means they are not offering deep discounts for last-minute cruises but, instead, are providing incentives with richer deals for travelers to book in advance.
•Travel Agents Offer the Best Value: The growing number of cruise ship products, each with its own personality, makes working with a travel agent even more important, Cruise Planners said. Agents can help match travelers with the best cruise ship for their needs. They also have access to the best deals, don't cost clients any additional money and are client advocates throughout the booking and travel process.
• Millennials are Traveling: Millennials are traveling more and more and travel and cruise companies are taking notice. River cruise lines, for example, are expanding to focus on families and multi-generational guests with triple occupancy cabins.
• Merging Travel with Technology: Technology is evident everywhere in travel from mobile travel apps to wristband room key access, high speed Wi-Fi connections to robotic bartenders. We can expect even more developments this year.
• Luxury Expansions: With the evolution of Crystal Cruises' luxury portfolio expanding into the luxury river cruise market, yachting, and air market, upscale travelers will expect more well-rounded inclusions as part of their vacations.
• Additional Offerings: Today, there are more all-inclusive sailings, more experiences and more cultural excursions for clients. Finding the right adventure or excursion is the best way to create memorable travel, according to Cruise Planners.
• The Impact of Cuba: Travel to Cuba is opening up and that promises to have an international impact. Many American travelers are interested in visiting Cuba; some want to go before it becomes "Americanized" while others are waiting until more of its offerings are in line with what U.S. tourists have come to expect.
• Social Impact Travel: More and more travelers are looking for culturally-immersive experiences and that includes giving back to the destinations they visit. One response to that is Carnival's new Fathom cruise line.
• Themed Travel: Themed cruises are proliferating. Wine makers tours, beer cruises, Christmas markets, golf themed trips, music focused vacations, and more, give travel agents opportunities to create their own groups and themed events.

Day 40 - Social Sharing Buttons
Team perifericas (Speakerinnen) [2016] — at August 26, 2016 20:39 UTC
Wow! What a week, hum?
So much things we learned. It's funny and great when you realize that all of your previously estimatives were wrong.
"Serious? Just these? We'll take care of them in the first month!" - said two poors girls that didn't know nothing about a big project. (John Snow's feelings)
But, it's been amazing too. Now we know how deep and how much something that looks simple and easy to fix is complex. Like a domino effect.
For social sharing buttons I'd always (Geisa) use third-party tools in my projects or clients projects. Simple and easy to manage, but to add one of them to Speakerinnen's site i dig the internet for recommendations, read posts and foruns about the pros and cons. So i realize that isn't the better solution: not safe, harvest traffic statistics from your site, track your visitors, slow to load, just a few disadvantages.
The friday ends with more tasks to take care on monday.
Others things we did
- Clean Code readings;
- Coach session with Brena <3;
Have a great weekend, everyone!
August 25, 2016

Others things we did:
* Answering a Q&A for Speakerinnen;

Phil Veasley | CEO ATLSportsHQ
It's just preseason, but the Hawks went out and had fun Monday evening.
The Atlanta Hawks took to the court for the first time Monday after a long off season which saw many changes. For the most part, the Hawks played with energy and cohesion that more so resembled a regular season game than a glorified scrimmage.
While the final score doesn't really matter in preseason, the 116-102 win and 37-14 3rd quarter showed a glimpse of what can happen on nights when things go "right".
Here are a few things that stood out to me.
John Collins
John Collins is GOOD. We already knew that of course but Collins appears poised to take his game to the next level this season. He can do much more than dunk but lets just appreciate this dunk for a minute.
Don't sleep on us 🤫🤫#TrueToAtlanta pic.twitter.com/icTUx1XRzs
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) October 2, 2018
Miles Plumlee
Miles is Miles, still fumbling and bumbling passes. However, he does appear to be more toned up and in shape than last season. Even with his massive contract, it may be hard for him to touch the floor this season outside of major injury circumstances.
Alex Len
Hopefully the change of scenery and diminished expectations for Alex Len will do him good. While the stat line wasn't impressive, (3 Points, 8 Rebounds, 4 Blocks) his energy was impressive especially on the defensive end.
Alex Poythress
Alex had himself an impressive showing. While he is a long shot to make the squad, putting up another 13-5-2 line may raise a few eyebrows. Even if we end up cutting him look for him to catch on with another NBA team or Erie. Hey Alex, we saw that postgame greeting of Hawks' Owner Tony Ressler after the final buzzer.
Tyler Dorsey
Dorsey surprisingly found himself glued to the bench until the 4th quarter. He made the most of the late game minutes, driving to the whole with ease and snatching rebounds.
Jeremy Lin and Vince Carter
The two vets will bring much needed leadership on and off the court for our very young squad. Throughout the game the two could be seen chatting with various members of the team offering words of encouragement and advice. Leadership is something the Hawks have really lacked since 2014-15.
Trae Young
It wasn't the best shooting night (5-16 1-6 from 3) but Trae had several impressive drives and dished out 8 flashy assists while only committing 2 turnovers. The shooting percentage likely won't be pretty this year, but Young is in the perfect scenario to learn and grow.
DeAndre' Bembry
Dre turned in a masterful performance Monday night. Everyone say it with me right now: Please stay healthy, please stay healthy.
What to watch for Friday:
Can Dre do it again?
Can Trae find his shot?
Is Poythress for real?

Bamboo is a member of the grass family and belongs to the fast growing plants in the world. Sounds like it may be. I would stay away from solid bamboo like the inspector said. Cali Bamboo offered to replace my floors too but I don't want to risk this or something worse happening again, but even more, I was so frusturated by the costomer service they gave me I just want stay away from them! Our home is new and the flooring is carbonized strand click bamboo (BuildDirect) installed as floating on a concrete slab.
Since the rooms floored all flow together and there were no transition strips installed, the flooring was installed as floating but not allowed to float. The flooring is noticeably uneven in places and obviously there was too much moisture somewhere to cause the cupping. Bamboo is a fast-growing and sturdy tree-like grass, making it a highly renewable resource. Solid bamboo floors are more prone to water damage and generally not advised for wet environments, like bathrooms.
Horizontal and vertical construction use bamboo shoots in their natural state, glued uniformly either horizontally or vertically, to create boards that look like natural bamboo. Strand-woven boards are made of shredded bamboo that's compressed under pressure to form boards. Unlike horizontal, vertical, and strand-woven bamboo floors, engineered bamboo planks are extremely durable and ideal for wet environments.
These solid (or semi-solid) forms of bamboo can all be left in their natural light blonde state or stained to any color When the floors begin to show signs of wear, they can be refinished with a light sanding and new finish coat. The construction involves slicing bamboo stalks thinly and then gluing them to a backing material, creating a veneer that is sandwiched between waterproof wear layers. For any renovation project, laminate flooring is a great option for an easy flooring upgrade.
Engineered flooring looks quite similar to solid bamboo but is far more durable and easy to maintain. Bamboo flooring is a beautiful, durable and ecologically friendly way to improve your floors, and at a decent price too. Home Legend bamboo flooring is especially lovely, and they have really perfected the art of turning ordinary bamboo into hardy, lovely and elegant flooring solutions for any color scheme, style or taste preference.

Since the beginning, DECENT priority was to develop applications that would work under the blockchain protocol and not only enhance the system, but also build DECENT Network as an independent platform for authors and audience to participate in.
Our Armenian subsidiary helped us come closer to this goal with DECENT Web App. As our team in Slovakia has been working on frontend architecture, the Yerevan branch has managed to develop the first functioning backend prototype. This means, DECENT has got closer to make its first ever application.
DECENT blogging platform provides all the basic features set forth in the preview of project in the planning phase. First, you need to sign up by creating your account, which includes filling up your username, registering e-mail address, picking adequate password and consequently verifying it. After gaining access, you'll get an option to link your DECENT Network account to facebook, or twitter profiles, so you can be active through channels besides DECENT.
Upon logging in, your profile holds information on your online wallet. There you can check the amount of DCTs you already own, the number of transaction that were conducted and overall DCTs redistributed through those transactions. Mechanics are kept simple – if you're willing to partake in exchange, specify the amount of tokens you want to send and put in the destination address. It can't get any easier.
On the main page, the suggested and trending articles fight for you attention. You may browse through them using search bars to type keywords and selectively look for content you are most interested in.
The user interface remained streamlined since the project's announcement. Every consumer, skilled in handling online services or otherwise, can navigate the platform. Before you decide to purchase the content from an author, you may get a glimpse of a part of that article. If you enjoy what you read, you choose one of the payment methods below. After the transaction is done, you unlock the entire content. To help your favorite author, you rate his work, thus helping his portfolio to become more visible to others.
As you may see, the initial version of DECENT Web is similar to the current one. Right now, the developers from Yerevan hub are eliminating software issues and bugs to enhance the experience of peer-to-peer transactional way of consumer-author communication. After perfecting the service, DECENT team would be able to transfer Web app under the blockchain protocol and finally make it accessible to public.
Until that happens, picture yourself in a position of a blogger or reader and calculate, what is more beneficial – placing your trust in someone or something between you and your direct channel to second party? Or almost face-to-face dialogue using cryptocurrency without dealing with mandatory hurdles in a way? For us here in DECENT, the answer is clear.

Sega has previously announced Judge Eyes: Shinigami No Yuigon, the Yazuka-esque game starring Takuya Kimura. The game is out today in Japan, and the publisher has also announced that it will be made available in Summer 2019 for the Western market. It will also have a new name – Judgment.
For what it's worth, it looks like the long wait is justifiable if you prefer English dubs for the game. As for those who prefer the original voices, there's good news too, as the game will launch in dual audio.
Judgment (formerly Project JUDGE) is headed to the West in summer 2019! Step into the mind of Takayuki Yagami and utilize investigation skills to uncover the secrets that lie deep within Kamurocho's corrupt underbelly when Judgment launches in summer 2019! https://t.co/80NWz5uZSe pic.twitter.com/CTNJek18CA

Subtitles will also come in both languages, but it's important to note that the English subs will match the English script. It remains to be seen if the game will suffer from overlocalisation the way Final Fantasy XV and a number of other games did.
For anyone wondering about the original Japanese VO in Judgment, the game will launch with dual audio, meaning you can swap back and forth at will!
Dual subs as well based on which audio track is selected – EN matches the EN script, JP subs are the traditional Yakuza experience.

Either way, this certainly adds Judgment into the list of games to look out for in 2019.
