and if you are to love, love as the moon loves;
Above me, the wind combed through the leafy branches, which jutted out over the path like many pairs of outstretched arms. This forest was peaceful, quiet except for the gentle rustling of leaves and the occasional chirp of birds. The trees were not packed together so densely, leaving ample space for me to peer between the foliage and examine my surroundings as I walked along a sort of naturally-occurring path. It was the same as any other day in the Rift, which both started and ended with me wandering about in some new and unfamiliar place. The Rift was just so vast. I'd go for miles without stopping sometimes, and still manage to end up someplace new each time. So in that respect, it was an ordinary day.
There was something different about it, too. As I went further and further into Solanis, I felt something change. I could not quite place what it was. The feeling was the kind that I could almost instinctively sense. A change barely noticeable, but still there, like the sun rising in the morning. The sun rose out of the darkness in the early hours of the day, an event that occurred each and every day. But despite it being common knowledge that the sun had to rise to signal the birth of each new day, somehow after all these years sunrises managed to happen without anyone ever really noticing. I knew they were there, like this change I felt in the world around me. Was it around me, though, or- could the change have been within me? It was as subtle as the tone of the voice or the glance of the eye, while at the same time being as noticeable as white stars on a cloudless night.
While I normally would have dismissed the strange feelings accompanying this change as the product of my overthinking, this time I knew that it wasn't just me. I wasn't imagining things. The ethereal shift was real, tangible as this world was. It must have been magic, conjured up by the Rift. Magic interested me greatly, for there seemed to be so many horses here who possessed it. Here, magic was in a way normal. For these horses had been born with abilities like fire-breathing or shapeshifting, and thus for them magic did not hold the element of mystery or eminence that it did for me. Having no experience with magic, I couldn't possibly begin to place what was the driving force behind the feeling that made my heart beat a little faster, or why the Rift had chosen me in particular to bare the burden of its uncanny tricks.
A voice, perhaps the soft susurration of the verdant leaves overhead, seemed to speak to me. I was not even aware that there was something I needed to do, much less why I needed to do it. But the voice in my ear was clear, though not the voice of an individual; it was the voice of the Rift. In my time here, I'd learned that the Rift had its ways of reaching whoever it wanted, whenever it wanted to.
And then, like a wave, my senses went awry. The Rift stole into my mind like a deranged thief, taking all I could remember, what was important to me, and muddling up the rest in confusion. One after the other, my thoughts cascaded out of control until the Rift's grip was so deep that I no longer recognized even the forest around me, the once tree-lined path twisted and turned out of sight, the trunks sprung up so densely that they formed an inescapable maze, a prison without walls. There I was, suddenly very much trapped and confused and blind. But it wasn't the kind of blindness that kept me from seeing. It was something else.
it does not steal the night —
it only unveils the beauty of the dark

How to apply for the community transport minibus fund
How community transport operators can apply for the community transport minibus fund before the December 2016 deadline.
This publication was withdrawn on
You can no longer apply for funding as the deadline has passed. See a list of successful bids.
Submit a bid
A second round of community transport minibus funding is open between 8 September 2016 and 2 December 2016. The second round is managed by the Community Transport Association on behalf of the Department for Transport. Guidance and application forms for the second round of community transport minibus funding are available from the Community Transport Association.
Bids under the first round of funding closed on 15 January 2015.
The government recognises that passenger transport plays and important role in communities, particularly in isolated areas. It provides people with access to:
- public services
- employment
- education and training
Inadequate transport provision can be a barrier to the prosperity of all those living in such areas. Commercial operators often struggle to run passenger transport services in communities where demand is low. Community transport can play an important role in providing services in these circumstances.

Meda, or Meru Meru as a companion, is a monster in Monster Girl Quest: Paradox.
Monsterpedia Entry
"An insect-based monster, they are known to only live in dark caves. Though their eyesight is poor, their hearing and sense of smell are very strong.
They feed on body fluids of other living beings, but prefer semen. As soon as a man enters a cave, they use their hearing to detect where they are in the cave. Using an opening in the lower half of their body that's filled with tentacles, they can easily force a man to ejaculate against their will. They do not release their prey after feeding once and instead choose to continually squeeze out everything with their small tentacles.
In addition to feeding, her lower opening is used for reproduction."
- Attack - One Foe, Normal Attack
- Paralysing Tentacle - One Foe, Physical, Paralysis 75%
- Tentacle Caress (M) - One Foe (Luka), Pleasure Attribute
- Tentacle Caress (F) - One Foe, Pleasure Attribute
- Tentacle Restraint - One Foe (Luka), Physical, Bind(Two Turns Break)
- Drain Hole - Rape, Drains HP
She has no elemental weaknesses (Except for Holy), but has weaknesses against most of status effect. She can paralyse you and restrict Luka movements. In addition, her Rape, which follows restriction move, drains Luka's HP.
"Falling prey to a cave monster... Were you happy to be squeezed to death? Meda Girl uses skills that paralyze you which is quite dangerous. You have to understand that she's an insect and a very sturdy one at that. However, this is a common characteristic of all insect monsters. She's very weak against status ailments, so use them to your advantage. Now go, oh Brave Luka. As a Hero, you should never kneel before a monster."

Ed Jew surrendered to the police today and was released on $135,000 bail. His lawyer is correct when he says that he has seen drug dealers treated with more respect than Mr. Jew. Make that one of his lawyers, there appear to be two different lawyers working on Ed Jew's many problems.
First off he is being asked to submit more information proving his residency in the district he was elected to represent in San Francisco, because on the surface it appears he lives elsewhere. He is also under investigation for allegedly accepting cash in exchange for helping some businessmen obtain permits from the city. At least that is the speculation, as the FBI never discloses information regarding ongoing investigations.
He now has two days to comply with the request to prove his residency, and if he can clear that up he can sit back and relax and wait to see if the FBI files any charges. Good luck Ed!
As a side note, there is a movement to recall Supervisor Jake McGoldrick because he supported closure of a short stretch of road in Golden Gate Park on Saturdays. Imagine if the recall crowd lived in Supervisor Jew's district…

Medicaid Payment for Services Provided Without Charge (Free Care)
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently amended policies regarding Medicaid reimbursement to Medicaid providers for the delivery of state plan-approved services that are available to Medicaid eligible beneficiaries, without charge to the beneficiary (including services that are available without charge to the community at large, or "free care"). The goal of this change is to enhance the health of communities through improved access to quality health care services. As a result, the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) will develop and install systems-level changes to achieve compliance with this CMS guidance.
Effective Jan. 1, 2016, Medicaid providers may receive reimbursement for all Medicaid-covered services delivered to Medicaid eligible beneficiaries-known historically as "free care" services-that are available without charge to patients without Medicaid coverage. Importantly, pursuant to 1902(a)(25) of the Social Security Act and 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 433 subpart D, although reimbursement is available under these circumstances, Medicaid providers must adhere to Third Party Liability (TPL) requirements for payment of services rendered when a legally liable third party is the primary coverage entity. Additional details can be found in the TPL sections of the South Carolina Healthy Connections Medicaid Provider Manuals (https://scdhhs.gov/provider-manual-list).
This federally-mandated policy change is reflected in Section 1 of all South Carolina Healthy Connections Medicaid Provider Manuals under the title "Charge Limits." The revised policy indicates:
"Except as described below for free care, providers may not charge Medicaid more for services to a beneficiary than they would customarily charge the general public. Providers should bill their usual and customary charges and not the Medicaid reimbursement rate. Retroactive adjustments can only be made up to the billed amount. Medicaid will generally pay the lower of the established Medicaid reimbursement rate or the provider's billed amount. Medicaid reimbursement is available for covered services under the State Medicaid Plan that are provided to Medicaid beneficiaries, regardless of whether there is any charge for the service to the beneficiary or the community at large."
To read the entire CMS publication regarding TPL and Federal Financial Participation (FFP) for Medicaid services provided without charge, visit http://www.medicaid.gov/federal-policy-guidance/downloads/smd-medicaid-p....
For individuals enrolled in the State's Medicaid Managed Care Program, please contact the beneficiary's managed care organization (MCO). Individual MCO contact information can be found at https://msp.scdhhs.gov/managedcare//resource/managed-care-health-plan-co... which is located on the Managed Care Health Plan Contact Information webpage.
Please contact the Provider Service Center at 1 (888) 289-0709 for additional information.

MultiTrain® Technology
Whether legal-for-trade weighing accuracy, wheel impact load detection, or accurately weighing railcars before and after loading is required you can depend on Schenck Process to provide the most economical and safe solution through a wide range of rail product line offerings.
With over a million railcars in service throughout North America, Schenck Process understands how critical it is to maintain a high level of weighing accuracy and safety for owners and operators in the Railroad industry. For years, Schenck Process with its rail industry product line has been supplying precision measuring, monitoring, and weighing systems to some of the world's leading rail companies.
MultiTrain® LegalWeight
MultiTrain® LegalWeight is a dynamic weighing system designed for the weighing of railcars in motion. The precise measuring technology permits the weights of railcars to be acquired accurately and legal-for-trade [NTEP]. For dynamic verification, the weighing system can be used as a static reference scale. Additionally, the system is optimally suited for monitoring load distributions. The measuring section is ideally configured by railcar type, weighing accuracy up to 0.2%, and velocity.
MultiTrain® TrainLoadOut
MultiTrain® TrainLoadOut is the perfect addition to train loading systems. Railcars can be weighed directly before and after loading with the use of high precision load cells. The load cells, integrated in a concrete weighing tie, transmit all forces and moments while measuring vertical weight. The data is typically transferred directly to the PLC of the train load out equipment. By calculating net weight the MultiTrain® TrainLoadOut system makes it possible to adapt the loading process to take full advantage of railcar capacity.
MultiTrain® WILD
MultiTrain® WILD is designed as an innovative diagnostic system for railcars. The early recognition of excessive wheel impact loads aids in railcar maintenance and offers enormous savings potential in track utilization and servicing. Each system is equipped with high-precision measuring technology, which enables the forces between the wheel and rail to be acquired quickly and accurately. In addition, the wheel, wheelset and railcar weights can be acquired at high speeds and the data can be transmitted to a remote location. The diagnostic system safely identifies railcars that have the potential to damage the track through dynamic forces or overload.

Film aims to highlight NHS privatisation
PUBLISHED: 13:18 23 October 2014 | UPDATED: 13:18 23 October 2014
Voters in Bexley and Bromley will have the chance to learn more about NHS privatisation at a film screening.
The Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich group of the National Health Action Party (NHAP)- a political party set up to keep the NHS free at the point of use – is showing Sell Off – The Abolition Of Your NHS on Wednesday.
The screening will take place at Christ Church on Main Road, Sidcup.
The hour long film will start at 7pm and will be followed by a question and answer session with GP Dr Bob Gill, the party's general election candidate in Old Bexley and Sidcup, and other party members.
Spokeswoman Lynn Ellard said: "There is great public concern about the politics of privatising our NHS and the dismantling and selling off our health services.
"This film is radical and a must see. It tells the alarming story of how the health service as we know it is being quietly abolished, to be replaced by a system modelled on the US insurance-based healthcare system, in which care is delivered by profit-maximising companies that charge patients for treatment.
"It features more than a dozen NHS insiders as witnesses, including a professor, two consultant radiologists, a cancer expert, a public interest lawyer and several outspoken GPs, and what they all have to say is shocking, unusual and brave.
"The film will leave you with an overall admiration for the doctors speaking out, combined with anger at what is happening."

women's clothing
women's clothing
For women, there are plainly shops all over, so this is at best a scattershot suggestion of shops in places that seemed surprising at the time:
Near Szervita ter, in an alley of a building that appears to be either closed for reconstruction or simply condemned, there are a couple of very interesting designer shops. If you look right as you walk south on Petöfi utca towards Parizsi, and continue past a fabric shop to a smaller fabric shop that rounds a sort of corner you'll see an alleyway/courtyard in which construction seems to be underway. Often there is a rack of clothing near the entryway, luring shoppers to the store in the construction zone. The dresses are primarily linen and designed with a clean, Spartan eye. The prices are good for the quality of the work. The shop's logo looks like this (Udvarhelyi Gyöngyvér ... Courtyard Joan, more or less...):
For more cutting edge design, there are two stores called Retrock on two small streets not far from the center of town: Henszlmann Imre utca 1 and Ferenczy Istvan utca 2. If you can pick up a magazine called Budapest Navigator (primarily in Hungarian, available free in shops and perhaps that the tourist information centers), several other similar shops are listed. These include Artista at Pushkin utca 19; Eclectick at Iranyi utca 20; and aqua-tick at Zrinyi utca 12. There are also a number of interesting small shops on and around Arany Janos utca between the Gresham Palace and Parliament.
On Vaci utca, near Vörösmarty ter, there is a Marks & Spencer, and, of course, there are malls surrounding the city, seemingly poised to attack, which have branches of the same fashion venues that exist in every major city of the world. And there is a brand new, very large H&M department store dominating the west side of Vörösmarty ter, open seven days...
For a custom tailor shop, you might try Eva Revesz on Veres Palne utca (#16), about a block or two after Ferenciek tere on the left side of the street as you walk towards it from the north; there is a second shop with different ownership more or less directly across the street. I have no sense of the quality, though, not having tried either... If you are at the Central Market, there is a small shop featuring handmade women's clothing by a local designer on Erkel utca, just off the square behind the market.
There are second hand shops with an emphasis on retro cloths dotting the Muzeum korut and on to Karoly korut on the side of the korut closer to the Danube. Many of these are tucked into courtyards, for example in the courtyard at #10 Karolyi korut (one of them there – Bahia – is up on the mezzanine level of the building). As in other cities, the most edgy shops are in the lowest rent venues, but in Budapest those can be adjacent to very fancy addresses or neighborhoods, just hidden off the street or in rundown buildings and courtyards.
There are several fur shops off Vaci utca on Regiposta utca towards the Danube. In general, leather and furs seem an excellent value in Budapest and the craftsmanship is often quite high, though it pays to know what one is doing in assessing custom work.
There is a lively avant garde design scene in Budapest, that bubbles up to the surface in shops like Retrock Deluxe, but that is most vibrantly on display if you happen to be in town on a weekend that includes the WAMP design market, outdoors in summers...For the less venturesome (aka older) crowd, there are dressmakers throughout, working from their own designs and yours, including several quite interesting and stylish ones

"The sheer unexpected drop in revenue led to the inability to finance the social plan that was agreed with labour representatives," said the company, which had revenue of 1.3 billion euros (US$1.72 billion) last year.
Karmann presented a restructuring plan in September 2008, but deteriorating finances made the Osnabrueck-based firm unable to pay for a wave of 2240 layoffs, half of Karmann's 4460 German workers.
Most famous for the 1950s VW Beetle-based coupe dubbed the Karmann Ghia, the company also developed the retractable hardtop roof first introduced with the Mercedes-Benz SLK before the idea was later copied by competitors, finding widespread use in popular volume models like the Peugeot 207CC.
In recent years, a trend an among auto makers such as Volkswagen and Daimler to reduce outsourcing the assembly of cars to third-party firms, made it more difficult for Karmann to win new contracts. The trend has already crippled rivals such as Heuliez, Carozzeria Bertone, and Pininfarina.
The last Audi A4 cabrio left the assembly line at the end of February and Karmann's only remaining production contract, to build Daimler's Mercedes-Benz CLK cabrio, is set to end in mid-May.
Magna Steyr remains the only contract carmaker to receive significant new business, poaching last June the Porsche Boxster contract from Metso's Valmet.
"Together with the court-appointed insolvency administrator, the goal will be to lead the newly structured Karmann corporate group into a secure future and save as many jobs as possible," Karmann said in a statement.
A spokesman explained that operations would continue just as before since the company had virtually no bank debt, rather Karmann was forced to file for insolvency under German law since it could not pay for the massive layoff plan.
Cabrio roof-top and door hinge supplier Edscha with revenue of nearly 1.1 billion euros had filed for insolvency at the beginning of February, until now the biggest German auto company to fail since Lehman's bankruptcy triggered a violent collapse in auto demand in the fourth quarter of last year.

The 2nd. November 2016 was a very interesting and fruitful day for Miss Baldacchino, Head of school and I. Both of us attended for the Embed and eTwinning Awards and seminar held at Xara Lodge. The seminar was interactive since, apart from lectures, there were also hands-on activities regarding the use of technology in class and in the school.
After winning the Primary Embed Award last year, I was awarded the Quality Label Award for my last year's eTwinning project "Inkantaw Flimkien bil-Malti".Kindergarten Assistants around Malta and Gozo participated in this project by teaching their pupils Maltese songs and sharing them on eTwinning in the project.
Although this is my last scholastic year, I am the administrator together with a Romanian teacher of a European project about folklore and also a member in another project on eTwinning. Apart from these, I have also decided to participate for the last time in the Embed Awards.
I encourage more staff from our school to participate in these projects and Awards since they enrich learning and motivation among our pupils and staff, one can find ready-made resources and raise education standards across the whole school.

Though the show botches up many things by adding many unnecessary scenes sometimes the things it indirectly implies begin to make sense in a weird sort of way. In this post let me talk about 2 scenes which got me thinking in this direction. The first being Arya ending up as Lord Tywin's cupbearer & the other one being the comparative scene where episode 1 of season 4 begins with Lord Tywin melting Ice, thus symbolically ending the Starks but it ends on Arya getting Needle back, an indication that the Starks aren't entirely finished.
Image Source: Tumblr
Lord Tywin, son of Tytos Lannister suffered a great deal of embarrassment on account of his father. His father was openly mocked by his own bannermen & called weak & foolish. Through his soft approach to even his enemies the man had made a laughing stock of the Lannister name. This all changed when Tywin took over the reins of the family matters. He not only taught a lesson to everyone who dared shame the Lannister name but also returned the House to its former glory which his father had lost over the years.
Arya Stark is today in a very similar situation in which Lord Tywin was many years ago. Her parents are dead. Her brother, who was once called the King in the North made a major mess of the war & put the Stark name to shame. His own bannermen started calling him the King who lost the North. His constant wrong decisions led to the complete destruction of not just the Stark family name & prestige but of Winterfell too. Like the Tarbecks & Reynes who rose against the Lannisters, the Boltons & Freys have risen against the Starks. Unfortunately these two have won where the Tarbecks & Reynes suffered a horrible defeat because House Stark did not have its own Tywin.
Going by each of the Stark children's overall character arc Arya seems the most likely to take up that place. That place where sits the person dreaded by the entire Westeroes. In my opinion Arya & Lord Tywin share many similar qualities.
To mention a few…
They both are concerned for their House. Their House's prestige matters to them more than anything else.
They have always placed duty above things like comfort & love & personal likes & dislikes.
They believe in vengeance. They do not forgive & certainly never forget an insult or injustice. But they are patient too. They wait for the correct moment to present itself before dealing the fatal blow. One blow from Lord Tywin/ Arya & the enemy is dead.
Both are extremely resourceful. Arya, though she is so little & a girl without any family, has managed to trick the Lannister men, has fled King's Landing, escaped the notice of the Queen's men, dealt with people like Jaqen H'ghar & Roose Bolton to name a few. She has dared to leave Westeroes behind, and all on her own & convinced the Faceless Men to accept her in their ranks. Lord Tywin's resourcefulness needs no elaboration. From joining Robert against Aerys to plotting Jeyne Westerling in Robb's bed to killing the Starks in one go at the Frey Wedding, he too has used all the opportunities presented to him to his own advantage, just like Arya has time & again.
They both do not flinch from killing. While Arya does it hands on, Lord Tywin does it with more finesse. But then he has many years of experience over her & commands a whole army. They both do what needs to be done but never waste time gloating over their victories. They celebrate the victory when the act is done & then they move on to the next task at hand. There is a certain amount of cold bloodedness in this approach.
While Lord Tywin manages to contain the consequences of all his actions, Arya has yet to learn that skill. She doesn't shy away from bloodshed & to hell with the consequences. The Faceless Men might teach her this skill, to do the work & ensure it can never be traced back to her & she might end up becoming even better at Lord Tywin in it.
And lastly, neither of them are cowed down by ranks. Arya has handled being Lord Tywin's cupbearer (at least in the show), Roose Botlon, a faceless man, Prince Joffrey, etc. Lord Tywin too throughout his life has managed to stand up to a great many people for his House & himself. Be it ending each & every Tarbeck & Reyne or leaving Aerys on a flimsy excuse when he accepted Jaime into his Kingsguard & rejected Cersei's hand for Rhaegar.
People love to brand Lord Tywin as a monster & these days I see Arya being tagged more often than not as a psychopath, a killer, an assassin. But then as Laini Taylor has said, "Do monsters make war, or does war make monsters?" Lord Tywin was no Ned Stark. He was a tough man who did not flinch from taking tough stands. If that made him a monster in the eyes of the realm then he did not care, for a Lion does not care about the opinion of the sheep. Arya too has more or less a similar outlook towards life. From telling her father that she wasn't meant to be a Lady & rule some castle, to naming her sword like all great swords should be, to not caring about what anyone thought of her boyish looks & behavior she is the Lion born amongst wolves. After Lord Tywin's death that seat of power lies empty. None of his children can ever fill his shoes. While Jaime has always ran away from any sort of power games, Cersei wants power, but once she gets it she doesn't know what to do with it. Tyrion, though better than the twins is no Lord Tywin either.
Will that place vacated by Lord Tywin remain empty forever? Who will be the next person to unite the seven kingdoms in fear of his or her name? Arya Stark maybe? And why not? As GRRM said if a little girl must conquer the world, so be it.

Found with associated shell fragments, Saurolophus dino likely from nest, in earliest stages of development.
Discovered in an area called the "Dragon's Tomb," a famous location for finding Late Cretaceous dinosaur fossils in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia, the authors of this study described three or four perinatal specimens or "babies" and two associated eggshell fragments.
The young dinosaurs were likely part of a nest originally located on a river sandbank, and the authors suggest they are likely Saurolophus angustirostris (meaning 'lizard crest'), a dinosaur that is known from multiple well-preserved complete skeletons.
The skull length of these Saurolophus was around 5% that of the largest known S. angustirostris specimens, indicating that these specimens were in the earliest development stages.
The perinatal bones already resembled S. angustirostris characteristics, including the upwardly directed snout (the premaxillary bones). The specimens did not yet have the characteristic cranial crest at the top of the head and areas of the skull-the cervical neural arches-were not yet fused, which suggest they may be in the earliest stages of the development of S. angustirostris.
Leonard Dewaele notes, "The poorly developed crest in Saurolophus babies provides evidence of ontogenetic crest growth within the Saurolophini tribe. The Saurolophini are the only Saurolophinae to bear supra cranial crests as adults."
Scientists can't tell whether the individuals were still in the eggs or had just hatched when they died, but they were apparently already dead and partly decomposed when they were buried by river sediment during the wet summer season.
The fossilized eggshell fragments associated with the perinatal individuals closely resemble those found from S. angustirostrisrelatives in Mongolia, and scientists suggest these specimens may bridge a gap in our knowledge of the development of S. angustirostris.

Introduction: Hardened Case for CGM Nightscout Users
Step 1: You Need
- Dexcom CGM G4 Monitor
- Android Phone with Nightscout CMG Uploader Installed
- Cabela's Fly Box (Swing Leaf model, approximately $16)
- USB OTG Cable
- USB to USB Micro Cable
- Drill with large hole bit (I used a 1-1/4" Forstner) and small bit
- Exacto Knife
- Approximately 8" of Elastic
- Washi Tape if desired
Step 2: Prepare the Box
- Line up your CGM with where you would like it inside the box and mark the foam.
- Use your exacto, goo-gone, and elbow grease to remove the foam from the insert.
- Measure the lid and remove some of the foam in the same place on the lid. I didn't remove it all because I wanted some padding over the screen.
This is going to be a tight fit, and will keep the G4 from moving at all during daily abuse and use.
Step 3: Create a Pass Through for Cables
- Place the CGM on the divider, and mark two dots above the CGM and two dots below the CGM. This is where you will thread elastic, so consider your placement.
- Using a small bit (I used 3/32) drill four holes in the divider.
- Mark the middle of the right hand side of the divider.
- Remove the foam on both sides of the divider in the approximate area of your hole.
- Drill slowly! This divider is NOT thick, and not reinforced, so go slow. You might also consider using a block beneath it to provide support.
Step 4: Secure the CGM
- Measure the distance between two of your holes, and cut elastic to twice that, plus 1/2" extra to knot with.
- Use a needle, small toothpick, or small drillbit to thread elastic through the holes.
- Knot elastic using a square knot to create loops.
- Insert CGM on top of divider to make sure loops are tight, but not too tight.
Step 5: Run the Cables
- Thread the USB end of your connection cable through the large hole through the backside of the elastic loops, and attach to your USB OTG cable. Note that I did swap out the retractable USB cable in the first picture for this short 8" gray cable. It just fit better.
- Attach micro end of cable to CGM.
- Attach USB OTG cable to your phone.
You may need to add in a layer of bubble wrap in the lower level to keep your phone steady. Alternately, you could use a few velcro dots or some command adhesive to keep the phone in place.
Step 6: You're Done!
Close the lid, you're done. You may find the top a tight fit, but these devices are approved for human use. I believe this pressure will also hold the device in place better. You also might want to reinforce the CGM connection to the USB with washi tape to reduce the stress points.
Thanks for playing along. If you use this case, let me know, or post in the Facebook group.

This is great, James. Thanks. I love the do-it-yourself spirit of this group.
Hi James,
Thank you so much for this! I've been searching trying to figure out how to make / get / find all of the components to set up my Dexcom CGM to get my data to the cloud and to my phone, a watch, computer, whatever. Thank you for this additional piece of protection.
Would you describe here, how having this protection for the CGM receiver helps with the data in the cloud setup? I have been seeing the CGM receivers sitting next to the phone/computer it's connected to -- how does having a secure case to hold it inside of, help?
Thanks so much, James! :)
It doesn't help with the operation, it just makes it more stable for putting in a backpack that goes to school, gets thrown around, dropped, etc. I built this case to put up with the abuse of an 11yo kid. I also find that the case is a tight fit, meaning the cables are moving less during the day, reducing any stress on USB ports in the system.
Thanks for the comments! Good luck with your case!

Romaco India will take care of sales and service for the product lines under all six Romaco brands
Romaco, a leading global manufacturer of packing and process technology based in Germany, recently hosted a successful Customer Meet in Hyderabad. The event to mark the official opening of the new Sales & Service Centre was attended by 400 invited guests from the pharmaceutical industry.
Romaco provides specialist expertise in filling, dosing and packaging systems for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
The new Sales & Service Centre Romaco India Pvt. Ltd. has offices in Mumbai, India's economic powerhouse, and Hyderabad, the hub of the Indian pharmaceutical industry. The two sites will put Romaco in a strong position on the Indian subcontinent, ideally with a beacon effect right across South Asia and into Northern Africa.
Romaco India will take care of sales and service for the product lines under all six Romaco brands including customised solutions for processing, tableting and packaging. As a key future market with growth rates of 15 percent per year, it is only logical that the Romaco Group should have a separate branch in India.
About a third of all Indian pharmaceuticals are manufactured in Hyderabad, which is why it was chosen by Romaco as the venue for the Customer Meet when the firm opened its new offices.

Since BYND, with a big jump, is making noise again today, thought it'd be a good time to take a quick look at recent IPOs still in play as per this criteria:
See the charts below. Each is set at a $10K investment to show the percentage as well as dollar gain for each stock in the white flag on the lower right of each chart — for example, SWAV is up 99% since its IPO buy, SOLY up 115%, and so on.
UBER and LYFT have not climbed above the hype on each of their first days of trading so they are not long investments. At best, LYFT particularly is a short.
Of note, if APLT holds its gain for today, it will be a buy either at the close today or on tomorrow's open.

Broadcasters Seek Better Emergency Alert System
With the aftermath of Katrina still unfolding, broadcasters are developing new systems to get the word out in a disaster.
The Emergency Alert System was never activated by the White House or by state or local governments during Katrina, but many think a national alert system should be exploited more frequently—and more efficiently.
In the wake of the 9/11 attacks in 2001, WNET New York and a number of partners and government officials began developing a way to use broadcast spectrum dedicated to education (known as Educational Broadband Service, or EBS) as a tool for solving the communication problems encountered on 9/11.
The system, formerly known as Smart Nets but now dubbed GUARD (Geospatially-aware Urban Approaches for Responding to Disasters), relies on small 30-pound antenna/transmission systems placed throughout a town or city and allows a command center to send live video, audio communications and data files with, for example, instructions or floor plans to PDA-type devices.
The trials in New York are going so well that WNET Director of Digital Convergence Stephen Carol Cahnmann says the developers are considering expanding to another city, perhaps St. Louis.
"Now is the time for us to sit down at the table with public-safety planners and get more coordination planning," he says.
According to David Ihrie, CTO of Rosettex Technology & Ventures Group, EBS has good coverage across most of the country and is licensed to organizations whose mission includes public service.
Additionally, the 9/11 Commission's report recommended dedicating more spectrum to first responders. "It looks to me like all the stars are aligning to making this a good national solution," Ihrie says. "And given that much of the infrastructure is in place, it could be a much faster and less expensive roll-out than other solutions."
Nashville Public Television (NPT) also is working on a new emergency system, called MetroCast. NPT, local first responders and technology provider SpectraRep were planning to test the system later this month, but Hurricane Katrina has caused the trial to be postponed.
Where WNET's test uses EBS, NPT's relies on DTV spectrum and includes datacasting. With that spectrum, government officials can send out text files like documents, maps or even video to PCs and receivers in police cars, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.
Says Bass, "We want to use datacasting as the backbone of the alert system rather than relying on faxes or e-mails."

We said that architecture is not going to cost you any more, it's going to work with your processes, actually amplify the positive tendencies in your business plan and enable you to achieve some differentiation to what you've been doing in the past. We see the city as more than a series of discrete design commissions; it is a very complex organism built around capital flows and investments. We were trying to work out how architecture could shape and respond to our cities within that sort of investment culture.
Timothy Moore: How do economics and architecture confluence at the hands of Elenberg Fraser?
CF: One of our projects, A'Beckett Tower, is a good example. It is essentially a combination of apartments being sold to retail property investors who are looking at long-term income streams and sometimes negative gearing them. Essentially it's an investment that will grow in value over time, yet the building still contributes to the specifics of its city environment through engaging, cinematic exterior and interior architecture. A'Beckett looks closely at the apartment product and the kind of prices that people can afford to pay to live with dignity (that is, not paying over 50 percent of their income on rent). Certain types of apartments, such as the smaller two-bedroom ones, provide flexibility for both renters and owner-occupiers as either one or two-bedroom apartments. It's both a market-driven and design-driven solution.
TM: The two-bedroom apartment plan has undergone some criticism within the profession.
CF: We developed flexibility into the planning of the building so that our main type could work as a fifty-two-square-metre, one-bedroom apartment, a one-bedroom apartment with a study, or a two-bedroom apartment. The study, or front bedroom, has an operable wall to extend the living space. The design was flexible to the point where it worked for both owner-occupiers and property investors. While the apartment has become a financial instrument, it's still where we live and as a building, it still needs to respond to and contribute to its city environment. A'Beckett straddles the boundaries between economics and design and I believe it is a successful example of how you can meet the demands of the market but still offer a unique living environment. This project was competing directly with the Central Equity apartments further up from A'Beckett Street, which were designed and constructed in a similar time frame sold into a very similar group of investment networks to A'Beckett. However, I think it is arguable whether what they've ended up with [at the Central Equity apartments]
is architecture.
TM: You vigorously engage with the demands of the market but you also engage with the inhabitant's desires. You can read the imagery of A'Beckett on the surface — or your recent apartment project Clara — as a part of the consumer lifestyle, one that targets individualism.
CF: In terms of the speculative built environment, there is no "client." There's no person who is asking you to make a kitchen like this, or whom you can run a design past. What we often do is read the Census [of Population and Housing] data for the area to understand who the end occupant is likely to be, for example whether it's an owner-occupier or a renter, and then interpret that information to imagine who that person is, to set up an invisible matrix of impulses that can inform the design.
With A'Beckett, we realized that a person who moves in and moves out, and a person who wants to live and have anonymity within the larger apartment structure, have very contrasting positions. In aiming to create something, or someone, who would meet all these conditions we came up with the idea of Agent Ninety-Nine, the spy. A'Beckett Tower is a project that needed to be suitable for people living in town to study, but also for people who were living and working in town as couples, individuals or in pairs. Agent Ninety-Nine was an imaginary structure that bridged all those conditions. When we tried to imagine the living environment that was wanted, it was full of dichotomy and surprise.
In contrast, when we read the Census data in South Yarra [the location of Clara], it was quite different. It's very monolithic in comparison and tells us that single girls from twenty-five to thirty-five years of age are the centre of both the owner-occupier and rental markets there. We structured our Tarzan and Jane idea out of an imagined resident's unfulfilled desires, and out of that flowed our interior design. The photo shoot [for our marketing campaign], taken after the building was completed, attempts to give form to the nascent desires of our imagined building occupant.
TM: How have the occupants, investor buyers and architecture profession responded to the campaign?
CF: One reading of this was that we were using sex to sell property. However, our real desire was to try to liberate the internal life and desires of these imaginary, typical occupants and to communicate the degree of analysis and interpretation in our process. To that degree, we've had very positive feedback from the people who live there or want to live there, and who actually identify with subtext of the images.
TM: You are controlling the marketing imagery of architecture, and by doing this, you certainly avoid the cliched real estate night shot with all the lights turned on.
CF: We're using our own imagery as a provocation and challenge to ourselves. It is also a functional approach — our architecture is read in the round. The effect of the building as one moves through it, as one walks around it, is composited and layered. It is not a hero shot, it is cinematic architecture. We have been looking for a form to convey this and the stop motion photography is currently coming closest.
TM: From the narrative to the actual interior of the project itself, how integrated is your office with other elements, for example Move In, which arranges turnkey furniture packages?
CF: Move In grew organically from Elenberg Fraser. We were interested in a total living arrangement for when a person is presented with the difficulty of setting up a new home. What Move In tries to do is fill that gap between the individual who has had many years of collecting, sourcing, finding and borrowing, and the individual who has to construct that idea of a home from scratch. In one stop, Move In typically fills out the interior with all the elements of a home.
TM: Besides setting up the company Move In, you have had forays into property with, for example, the ski lodge Huski at Falls Creek. How involved is Elenberg Fraser with property development? Is it still something that you see as integral to your practice?
CF: Elenberg Fraser is aligned with, but not directly involved with, property development. We've always seen this tension between the developer and the architect as being read as a negative thing, which we disagree with. That tension is critical to the future project of commercial architecture. By being involved with Huski and Melbourne's Normanby Chambers, we sat in the seat of the developer and directly understood these tensions. We started to understand how we could ask a developer to invest in creating value and we've become better at picking our battles. As a result, we have a better understanding of who the developer is and what their issues are. This has led to Elenberg Fraser having a much broader group of clients and delivering around 10 percent of the multiresidential market in Melbourne.1
TM: How has your business expanded? Is it refined to a particular sector, such as the Melbourne multiresidential market?
CF: In the last six or seven years we have been pursuing a business plan where around thirty or forty percent of our turnover comes from offshore locations. We started in the Middle East, which was going quite well, and then there was the financial crash. We've repositioned that work into South East Asia, where we're about to open our first cell in Vietnam. That's just an example of Elenberg Fraser trying to construct a business case around private practice. I think that the death of architectural practice happens when we complain about the opportunities that we should get. It's a self-fulfilling negative cycle. What we like is to be responsible for ourselves. This means we have to try new things to get new places, and we export the Elenberg Fraser process to achieve the same design outcomes overseas as we do at home.
TM: What is this new place? I know it echoes like a beauty pageant question, but what does the future behold? What is the future of practice in terms of scale and size?
CF: There is certainly a polarization at the moment. Over the last few years what we have seen is the medium-sized practices growing much bigger and absorbing smaller practices along with them. In the coming cycle, we won't see the same sort of agglomeration — I think we will see a set of new, smaller practices growing again. I would argue that the creation of younger, smaller practices is cyclical and that the trend towards bigger practices is just a part of that cycle. Elenberg Fraser grew out of the economy crash in the 1990s; when we started our practice there hadn't been a new architectural practice in ten years (which was several student generations). After we formed our practice a few others started up, and now we are the smaller-to-medium-scale practices of our city. We're looking forward to seeing that again in the next cycle — a proliferation of new architecture firms in Melbourne that again reflects the diversity of our city.
From a dossier in the May/June 2012 edition of Architecture Australia, on "The Economic Paradigm".
1. This figure is based on information issued by Charter Keck Cramer that states there were 17,860 apartments under construction (at the end of 2011) across Melbourne, knowing that Elenberg Fraser currently has 1915 apartments under construction.

In the heat of summer, when the temperature inside is the same as the sunny backyard, formulating any thoughts, let alone creative ones, has been a challenge. Based on the 30 pages of dreck I've added to The Novel, I'd have to say creativity spent the summer elsewhere.
I've tried not to beat myself up over my sloth. I've been on holiday too – I've slept in. I've happily written in this blog. I've gardened (if you call staring at my tomato plants in abject frustration "gardening"). Lately though, perhaps as I've felt autumn creeping into the night air, lazy days are at their end. It might be time to get serious and kick myself off the sofa.
Over a tall glass of iced coffee the other afternoon, I thumbed through the latest issue of Poets & Writers. I read it cover to cover. Putting the magazine down, I drummed my fingers on the table. What had I done lately? What had I written (besides this blog)? In typical paranoid fashion, I worried: what if creativity never comes home from its holiday? For the briefest of seconds, I envisioned Creativity sitting in a sunny cafe somewhere with a fresh stamp on her passport.
Or, Creativity could be right here in this disaster of a house, under piles of laundry that have accumulated; perhaps under the stack of papers and bills that I've shoved into my desk drawer since summer began. Creativity, perhaps miffed by my addiction to this blog, has hidden itself away in a huff. Now that I realize I've missed it, the ability to invent on the spur of the moment is nowhere to be found. Sure, there's The Novel but I fear it's 178 pages of Poo in Progress.
Then, something happened. I can't say how – God knows I'm the last person on earth to be able to explain how my mind works – but in a split second…no, a nanosecond, my mind flashed back to dinner a few nights ago. We played a game: invent your perfect world. My daughter invented a world with unicorns, lawns made entirely of glitter, and Skittles. It was a deliriously happy world, all the time. Annoying, I thought. Being a perverse little banshee, I wondered how such a glittery, rainbow world would deal with a murder and teenage rebellion. I wrote a paragraph down quickly, before it slipped away. A start.
That little paragraph didn't bring Creativity home. Creativity is like a cat, it'll come home when it damn well wants to but that idea left the door open just a crack. No forcing – forcing leads to dreck (see words on novel above). I had to let it be. Sometimes naps help and yesterday, I took a big nap.
When I awoke, the sun was low in the sky; my house was dark and quiet. For a few minutes, I had no idea where I was, what time it was, or what day it was. On auto-pilot, I headed for my computer. I stared at the screen. Outside, ciccadas buzzed. As if in a trance, I opened Word and started typing. Words flowed. I closed my eyes and saw clearly the scene and two characters. I could smell the air (cedar and lemons). I'm not even sure I was awake.
Creativity, it seemed, was home from summer holiday. Welcome back.

Top ten Payday LoansThe top ten payday loans
In certain places you may be bumming the cash together, desperately to make ends meet. What's more, you'll be able to get by in the middle of the game. A payday loans can be very appealing in this kind of situations for several reason. Firstly, it brings you the required cash quickly and without delays. And the best way to solve this is not to take out a payday loans.
Or you save when you're busy so you have cash to drop back. It is no question that many payday loans take user off the cash to revoke another indebtedness. When that is the case, it may make sense to take out a payday loan, especially if the amount of interest on the loan is disclosed as less than what the individual on the other owed it.
It is much less dangerous than using a payday credit. A few folks may wonder why these individual borrowers don't just lend from their families or mates. Thats because when you borrower from a investor, the medium of exchange is due to a commerce, not organism you knowing news article. Therefore, perhaps humans simply put at stake the risks of significant interest.
Chrismas is always a great spending season for payday creditors. Humans use payday loans because they often seem like the best option. And then you can repay what you have owed in the New Year, hopefully after you have earned some moneys.
Their children get everything they want, but they don't prevent themselves from keeping out of debts. But Christmas is a big topic. They might think that the best way to a payday loans to be avoided is to take one from a serious creditor. As an example, a bank often grants loans to people with a good financial standing.
You will make available cash to human beings, even if they have a poor record of lending. Being such, in desperate days, payday loan individuals use it. Instead, they should work to improve their creditworthiness. They can do this by disbursing cash you owed and making timely payments on invoices for six month or more.
You can also cut down on your consumption of drinking oil by limiting the duration of your shower. What could be more serious than getting a payday credit or dropping back on mortgages? However, most folks would say that it is the latter that is the worst one. It will either make sure that you do not need to take another payday loans to stay up to date.
Medicinal problems are certainly one of the main causes why payday loan individuals or use short-term loans. Best way to prevent this is to take out healthcare. Nowhere is an easier way out of this predicament, and many payday loans are used for help. Sarah is hoping that her writings will enable a permanent and affirmative transformation of human beings.
In her spare freetime she reads, researches, watches films and likes to eat.

Those wacky clowns, the Troubadour Theater Company, are back and they are tearing up the stage at the Falcon Theatre with their annual holiday spoof show. As always they merge pop music with a familiar Yuletide story and the result is a riotous evening of light satire and pure nonsense.
This year writer/director and chief jester Matt Walker has taken the slim story of Frosty the Snow Man and his magic top hat and infused it with some songs and jingles from everyone"™s favorite schmaltzy singer, the one, the only Barry Manilow.
The storyline is a bit on the lean side but that doesn"™t matter one whit. All these merry pranksters need is sufficient plot to string together a bunch of songs with mangled lyrics. Hence "Oh Mandy" becomes "Oh Frosty" and "Copancabana" becomes "Greenhouse Cabana" and so forth.
It"™s all just an excuse for various stunts, lazzis (slapstick and gag-style comedy) as well as prop comedy. The cast have a selection of jokes handy for when characters lose their mustaches (I"™m looking at you, Rick Batalla – loved your impression of Manilow, though!) or when a low-tech prop refuses to co-operate.
Once again, the songs are the highlight of this season"™s musical. Evidently a great deal of care was taken in putting together a top-notch band who flawlessly duplicate many of Manilow"™s hit numbers as well as his memorable advertising jingles. The four-strong backing band is brilliant and the entire cast are outstanding singers and dancers. I have to give credit to Nadine Ellis and Ameenah Kaplan for their deceptively simple yet tight choreography. This is clearly a cast that works extra hard to make it all seem effortless.
A highlight of the evening is a lively jitterbug followed by a tap routine – worthy of Dancing with the Stars – featuring the strongest dancers in the cast. These guys are so incredibly talented.
It all shapes up to be a festive night of lively entertainment. For an evening of riotous laughter, dance and song, look no further than the Troubadour"™s wacky blend of a holiday fable with pop music.

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - A Pima County judge declared a mistrial on Friday, Feb. 9, in a double-murder trial from 2002.
Judge Kenneth Lee made the decision because the jury could not reach a verdict.
Brian Ferry was accused of killing 58-year-old Charles Russell and 42-year-old Catherine Nelson, who disappeared during a trip to Tucson to buy a motorcycle on Feb. 2, 2002.
Cold case detectives from the Tucson Police Department arrested Ferry on Jan. 28, 2015.
After the discovery of the couple's truck in a church parking lot near East 22nd Street and South Sixth Avenue on Feb. 7, 2002, the case went cold. Detectives determined foul play was involved, but had no leads and the incident was cleared as an unsolved missing persons case.
A status conference will be held on Feb. 21.

"You (the Lieutenant Governor) say 'I have power, I am a Superman'. But you don't do anything,"the judges said.
"You say the corporations are answerable to you. Tell us within how much time will you clear the sites," the judges asked. "Why should the corporations be asked? You are the L-G. You should have found out by now," the bench retorted.
"You can't drag the CM into this because L-G has said he has the authority. It seems he (LG) thinks everything is honky dory," the bench told Additional Solicitor General Pinky Anand who was arguing the matter.
The court's remarks come in the wake of a turf war between L-G Anil Baijal and AAP government in Delhi.
The Supreme Court had asked the Centre and the Delhi government to clarify who could be held responsible for clearing the "mountain loads of garbage" in the national capital those reporting to L-G Anil Baijal or to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
During the hearing on this issue, the court on July 10 had observed that Delhi is getting buried under mounds of garbage and Mumbai is sinking under water, but the government is doing nothing. It had also slapped fines on 10 states and two union territories for not filing their affidavits on their policies for solid waste management strategy.
"You see, Delhi is getting buried under mountain loads of garbage and Mumbai is sinking. But yet, the government does not do anything. When the courts intervene, we are attacked for judicial activism. We are given lectures on separation of powers and encroachment of jurisdiction," the apex court said earlier.

It's like writer's block. I feel stuck.
This is my Indian Orange Peel quilt. I want to enter it in the piecing category this fall.
But, I am so tired of pulling paper. and it has to be removed before I can quilt it.
A couple months ago, the whole back was paper. Now, it's just five arcs and a corner. The problem is that the instructions said to baste each block, all the way around. That long basting stitch makes the paper around the edges hard to remove. I can remove the basting, or spend the extra time on the paper. They'll both take as long, so I've been spending extra time on the paper. And, I will need to go back with a pair of tweezers and get the little tiny bits that my fingers wouldn't grasp.
But, then, I'm going to quilt it and get it ready. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.
And, I want to do another piece, another thread sketch on silk. I have the supplies. I've picked a theme. Just need to get my behind in gear and get my paper sketch started.
I hope you're not feeling the same pressure to finish anything this year. And, if you are, then you absolutely have empathy from here.
Be well and have a great Thursday.

RIEKENS, Martha 1876-1960
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 5/12/2016 at 08:26:23
Rites on Saturday For Mrs. Riekens, Longtime Resident
Funeral services were held at 1 p.m. Saturday in the home and later at St. Peter's Evangelical & Reformed church for Mrs. John Riekens, 84, who died Thursday.
Rev. E. H. Buschman officiated at the service. Burial was in the church cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Leland Luwe provided special vocal music for the funeral service, and Mrs. Allen Spieker was organist. Flower attendants were Mrs. James DeNeui and Mrs. H. L. Luwe.
Casketbearers were John Schoon, John Weichers, James DeNeui, John Heinrich, Bernard Stahl and Thomas Flessner Sr.
Mrs. John Riekens, nee Martha Tjaden, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Martin Tjaden, was born August 14, 1876, on a farm in Franklin county near Chapin, Ia. There she received her education in the rural schools and grew to young womanhood.
In 1897 on the 3rd of March she was married to John Riekens of Wellsburg. Immediately after their marriage they moved on a farm in German township. This union was blessed with one daughter, Ella.
They lived on the farm until February of 1928, when they moved to their present home in Wellsburg, due to the ill health of Mr. Riekens, who preceded her in death on Nov. 13, 1936.
Mrs. Riekens was a member of St. Peter's E. and R. Church, northwest of Wellsburg, where she attended as long as her physical condition permitted. Twelve years ago she had the misfortune of falling and breaking her hip; since that time she had been confined to her home. She was patient and resigned to her lot. Nevertheless she retained a vital interest in her church, and always appreciated the pastor's calls and the private devotional services.
On Wednesday, August 31st, she suffered a stroke from which she never fully regained her consciousness. During all of her illness she was tenderly and graciously cared for by her daughter and family. She quietly and peacefully breathed her last on Thursday morning, thus reaching the age of 84 years and 24 days.
She leaves to mourn her departure, her daughter, Ella, Mrs. Ray Toomsen of Wellsburg; a sister, Bertha, Mrs. Henry Schutjer, of Canby, Minn.; one brother, George Tjaden of Winnebago, Minn., and a granddaughter, Vivolyn, Mrs. Bernard Keninger of Spencer, and five great-grandchildren: Patricia, Raymond, Mary, Edward and Martha Keninger; many other relatives and friends.

Central Regional Inducts More Greats Into Its Sports Hall of Fame
Before tonight's home football game against Brick Memorial the sports hall of fame at Central Regional High School will grow by six members, including a true coaching legend.
The new class is headlined by Madeline Dutton who will retire as the varsity field hockey coach sometime next month at the end of her 40th season. Dutton began her Central tenure in 1969 as a health and physical education teacher and took over the Golden Eagles field hockey program in 1976 and as the saying goes, "never looked back."
During her tenure Central has won 16 Shore Conference divisional championships and she was named coach of the year nine times. She produced numerous All Shore and All State players, many of whom had successful college careers. Her current team is 8-4 and she will end her career with nearly 500 wins. There is no question Madeline Dutton would be the headliner of almost any Hall of Fame class.
Joining her will be another longtime coach, George Steinhauser, who spent nearly three decades as an assistant coach in football, wrestling and track. He began the 7th & 8th grade wrestling program and was also founder of the Berkeley Mat Rat Wrestling program…George also coached Pop Warner Football in Berkeley.
The remainder of the class is made up of three former outstanding Central athletes including dominating softball pitcher Phyllis Angellella Aires, a 1981 graduate who was a two-time All Shore selection and in her senior season pitched the Golden Eagles to the Class A South and Ocean County Tournament championships. She has been teaching in the Central district for thirty years.
Tom DeBlass graduated in 2000 as the school record holder in the long jump where he also won county and state sectional titles. He was also part of the high jump relay team that set a school record and currently is one of the most respected Jiu-Jitsu figures in the world and owner of Ocean County Jiu-Jitsu.
Last but not least is Jessica Williams (no relation) who left Central in 2002 as a 4-year letter winner in both basketball and softball where she earned many awards and honors. A team captain in both sports Jessica has been the assistant softball coach at Brookdale Community College since 2007.
Tonight's ceremony will take place at 6pm in the gymnasium foyer where pictures of all the Hall of Fame members hang, including yours truly. Clearly it was a mistake!

You've Got to Have the Guts to Go for It, Recklessly.
Mathew Stubbs from Stubbs Design Tribe is an architect unlike any other you will find in the Sydney area. His passion and talent for architecture is surpassed only by his love for the clients he works with.
When asked why he is involved in architecture he says, "I think architecture is the best job in the universe. It has its stressful moments but at the end of the day you are creating a home that people are going to grow up in. It's going to change the way families live, the way families interact with each other, and the experience guests have being at your home. It's just full of joy and happiness to be a party in the joint decisions that go into creating something as beautiful as that. "
His most satisfying moments with the business revolve around seeing the final use of the product and working with the amazing team he has put together. "One of the most satisfying things is when you go back to a house 3 or 4 years after you've finished it for a non-architecture related event, like a kids birthday party or a drink and you're sitting there and people are enjoying it and it's working.
The success I've had in putting together what I think is a really fun team is very satisfying. When I come to work and everybody's got a smile on their faces and everybody's happy, as everyone is doing what they love to do."
The uniqueness and camaraderie of his team is evident as soon as you walk into his office. "I've tried to put my team together really carefully and every single person who works here I've known for a minimum of six years. It's a really slow, organic sort of growth. We try to grow in a nice sensible manner where people learn the culture through integration with everyone else, rather than having three new people sitting next to each other. I think that's that feeling when you walk in the door and everything sort of feels like it's just right."
Mathew finds his inspiration in everyday people, rather than architects. "I just find people who are unique and do exactly what they want to do in life inspiring. A business owner is trying to create something that is long term and sustainable is always inspirational."
His advice for being a truly inspirational person: "The simple fact is it is just believing in what you're doing. There are so many times when your gut or intuition tells you it's the right thing and no matter what people tell you, you should need to stick to that. I think that's what inspirational people are, people who actually believe in themselves rather than believing in what they're taught. What you're taught sort of pieces all that together and gives you the knowledge to believe in your intuition but you've got to have the guts to go for it, recklessly."
Mathew has learned a key element of marketing that has helped him stand out among other architects. "One of the most important things we did with Sonja was identify our target market. You can bang your head on the wall for a million years if you've got the wrong client. But, if you've got the right client from the start, then the whole process actually makes sense and people do appreciate you and people start referring you and that's pretty much what our marketing strategy is at the moment, really looking after our target market.
The uniqueness of Mathew's business is evident in the relationships he has built with his clients. He describes the process saying, "We do architecture differently than most people. We don't focus on the design awards that we've won, but rather on making the architecture work with the life style of our clients and taking them through the whole process from start to finish."
Mathew is a truly inspirational person not only as an architect with a great deal of passion but as a person working to create relationships that will last a lifetime. He makes the very important point that at the end of the day, the people both inside and outside your business are what really matters.

I have always found Australian architecture boring, over masculine and bland. Some say it is the result of over regulation by government. This then can be applied to greater extent to Australian life.
So its always great to see some dive in with reckless abandon and challenge conformity like Matty.
