In statistical hypothesis testing, a type I error is the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis (also known as a "false positive" finding), while a type II error is incorrectly retaining a false null hypothesis (also known as a "false negative" finding).[1] More simply stated, a type I error is to falsely infer the existence of something that is not there, while a type II error is to falsely infer the absence of something that is.
In statistics, a null hypothesis is a statement that one seeks to nullify with evidence to the contrary. Most commonly it is a statement that the phenomenon being studied produces no effect or makes no difference. An example of a null hypothesis is the statement "This diet has no effect on people's weight." Usually, an experimenter frames a null hypothesis with the intent of rejecting it: that is, intending to run an experiment which produces data that shows that the phenomenon under study does make a difference.[2] In some cases there is a specific alternative hypothesis that is opposed to the null hypothesis, in other cases the alternative hypothesis is not explicitly stated, or is simply "the null hypothesis is false" – in either event, this is a binary judgment, but the interpretation differs and is a matter of significant dispute in statistics.
A type I error (or error of the first kind) is the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis. Usually a type I error leads one to conclude that a supposed effect or relationship exists when in fact it doesn't. Examples of type I errors include a test that shows a patient to have a disease when in fact the patient does not have the disease, a fire alarm going on indicating a fire when in fact there is no fire, or an experiment indicating that a medical treatment should cure a disease when in fact it does not.
A type II error (or error of the second kind) is the failure to reject a false null hypothesis. Examples of type II errors would be a blood test failing to detect the disease it was designed to detect, in a patient who really has the disease; a fire breaking out and the fire alarm does not ring; or a clinical trial of a medical treatment failing to show that the treatment works when really it does.[3]
In terms of false positives and false negatives, a positive result corresponds to rejecting the null hypothesis, while a negative result corresponds to failing to reject the null hypothesis; "false" means the conclusion drawn is incorrect. Thus a type I error is a false positive, and a type II error is a false negative.
When comparing two means, concluding the means were different when in reality they were not different would be a Type I error; concluding the means were not different when in reality they were different would be a Type II error. Various extensions have been suggested as "Type III errors", though none have wide use.
All statistical hypothesis tests have a probability of making type I and type II errors. For example, all blood tests for a disease will falsely detect the disease in some proportion of people who don't have it, and will fail to detect the disease in some proportion of people who do have it. A test's probability of making a type I error is denoted by α. A test's probability of making a type II error is denoted by β. These error rates are traded off against each other: for any given sample set, the effort to reduce one type of error generally results in increasing the other type of error. For a given test, the only way to reduce both error rates is to increase the sample size, and this may not be feasible.
These terms are also used in a more general way by social scientists and others to refer to flaws in reasoning.[4] This article is specifically devoted to the statistical meanings of those terms and the technical issues of the statistical errors that those terms describe.
In statistical test theory, the notion of statistical error is an integral part of hypothesis testing. The test requires an unambiguous statement of a null hypothesis, which usually corresponds to a default "state of nature", for example "this person is healthy", "this accused is not guilty" or "this product is not broken". An alternative hypothesis is the negation of null hypothesis, for example, "this person is not healthy", "this accused is guilty" or "this product is broken". The result of the test may be negative, relative to the null hypothesis (not healthy, guilty, broken) or positive (healthy, not guilty, not broken). If the result of the test corresponds with reality, then a correct decision has been made. However, if the result of the test does not correspond with reality, then an error has occurred. Due to the statistical nature of a test, the result is never, except in very rare cases, free of error. Two types of error are distinguished: type I error and type II error.
A type I error occurs when the null hypothesis (H0) is true, but is rejected. It is asserting something that is absent, a false hit. A type I error may be likened to a so-called false positive (a result that indicates that a given condition is present when it actually is not present).
In terms of folk tales, an investigator may see the wolf when there is none ("raising a false alarm"). Where the null hypothesis, H0, is: no wolf.
The type I error rate or significance level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis given that it is true.[5][6] It is denoted by the Greek letter α (alpha) and is also called the alpha level. Often, the significance level is set to 0.05 (5%), implying that it is acceptable to have a 5% probability of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis.[5]
A type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is false, but erroneously fails to be rejected. It is failing to assert what is present, a miss. A type II error may be compared with a so-called false negative (where an actual 'hit' was disregarded by the test and seen as a 'miss') in a test checking for a single condition with a definitive result of true or false. A Type II error is committed when we fail to believe a true alternative hypothesis.[7]
In terms of folk tales, an investigator may fail to see the wolf when it is present ("failing to raise an alarm"). Again, H0: no wolf.
The rate of the type II error is denoted by the Greek letter β (beta) and related to the power of a test (which equals 1−β).

Hypothesis: "Adding water to toothpaste protects against cavities."
Null hypothesis (H0): "Adding water does not make toothpaste more effective in fighting cavities."
This null hypothesis is tested against experimental data with a view to nullifying it with evidence to the contrary.
A type I error occurs when detecting an effect (adding water to toothpaste protects against cavities) that is not present. The null hypothesis is true (i.e., it is true that adding water to toothpaste does not make it more effective in protecting against cavities), but this null hypothesis is rejected based on bad experimental data.
Hypothesis: "Adding fluoride to toothpaste protects against cavities."
Null hypothesis (H0): "Adding fluoride to toothpaste has no effect on cavities."
This null hypothesis is tested against experimental data with a view to nullifying it with evidence to the contrary.
A type II error occurs when failing to detect an effect (adding fluoride to toothpaste protects against cavities) that is present. The null hypothesis is false (i.e., adding fluoride is actually effective against cavities), but the experimental data is such that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected.
Hypothesis: "The evidence produced before the court proves that this man is guilty."
Null hypothesis (H0): "This man is innocent."
A type I error occurs when convicting an innocent person (a miscarriage of justice). A type II error occurs when letting a guilty person go free (an error of impunity).
A positive correct outcome occurs when convicting a guilty person. A negative correct outcome occurs when letting an innocent person go free.
Hypothesis: "A patient's symptoms improve after treatment A more rapidly than after a placebo treatment."
Null hypothesis (H0): "A patient's symptoms after treatment A are indistinguishable from a placebo."
A Type I error would falsely indicate that treatment A is more effective than the placebo, whereas a Type II error would be a failure to demonstrate that treatment A is more effective than placebo even though it actually is more effective.
In 1928, Jerzy Neyman (1894–1981) and Egon Pearson (1895–1980), both eminent statisticians, discussed the problems associated with "deciding whether or not a particular sample may be judged as likely to have been randomly drawn from a certain population"[8]p. 1: and, as Florence Nightingale David remarked, "it is necessary to remember the adjective 'random' [in the term 'random sample'] should apply to the method of drawing the sample and not to the sample itself".[9]
They identified "two sources of error", namely:
In 1930, they elaborated on these two sources of error, remarking that:
In 1933, they observed that these "problems are rarely presented in such a form that we can discriminate with certainty between the true and false hypothesis" (p. 187). They also noted that, in deciding whether to fail to reject or reject a particular hypothesis amongst a "set of alternative hypotheses" (p. 201), H1, H2, . . ., it was easy to make an error:
In all of the papers co-written by Neyman and Pearson the expression H0 always signifies "the hypothesis to be tested".
In the same paper[11]p. 190 they call these two sources of error, errors of type I and errors of type II respectively.
It is standard practice for statisticians to conduct tests in order to determine whether or not a "speculative hypothesis" concerning the observed phenomena of the world (or its inhabitants) can be supported. The results of such testing determine whether a particular set of results agrees reasonably (or does not agree) with the speculated hypothesis.
On the basis that it is always assumed, by statistical convention, that the speculated hypothesis is wrong, and the so-called "null hypothesis" that the observed phenomena simply occur by chance (and that, as a consequence, the speculated agent has no effect) – the test will determine whether this hypothesis is right or wrong. This is why the hypothesis under test is often called the null hypothesis (most likely, coined by Fisher (1935, p. 19)), because it is this hypothesis that is to be either nullified or not nullified by the test. When the null hypothesis is nullified, it is possible to conclude that data support the "alternative hypothesis" (which is the original speculated one).
The consistent application by statisticians of Neyman and Pearson's convention of representing "the hypothesis to be tested" (or "the hypothesis to be nullified") with the expression H0 has led to circumstances where many understand the term "the null hypothesis" as meaning "the nil hypothesis" – a statement that the results in question have arisen through chance. This is not necessarily the case – the key restriction, as per Fisher (1966), is that "the null hypothesis must be exact, that is free from vagueness and ambiguity, because it must supply the basis of the 'problem of distribution,' of which the test of significance is the solution."[12] As a consequence of this, in experimental science the null hypothesis is generally a statement that a particular treatment has no effect; in observational science, it is that there is no difference between the value of a particular measured variable, and that of an experimental prediction.
If the probability of obtaining a result as extreme as the one obtained, supposing that the null hypothesis were true, is lower than a pre-specified cut-off probability (for example, 5%), then the result is said to be statistically significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.
British statistician Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher (1890–1962) stressed that the "null hypothesis":
... is never proved or established, but is possibly disproved, in the course of experimentation. Every experiment may be said to exist only in order to give the facts a chance of disproving the null hypothesis.— 1935, p.19
Statistical tests always involve a trade-off between:
A threshold value can be varied to make the test more restrictive or more sensitive, with the more restrictive tests increasing the risk of rejecting true positives, and the more sensitive tests increasing the risk of accepting false positives.
An automated inventory control system that rejects high-quality goods of a consignment commits a type I error, while a system that accepts low-quality goods commits a type II error.
The notions of false positives and false negatives have a wide currency in the realm of computers and computer applications, as follows.
Security vulnerabilities are an important consideration in the task of keeping computer data safe, while maintaining access to that data for appropriate users. Moulton (1983), stresses the importance of:
A false positive occurs when spam filtering or spam blocking techniques wrongly classify a legitimate email message as spam and, as a result, interferes with its delivery. While most anti-spam tactics can block or filter a high percentage of unwanted emails, doing so without creating significant false-positive results is a much more demanding task.
A false negative occurs when a spam email is not detected as spam, but is classified as non-spam. A low number of false negatives is an indicator of the efficiency of spam filtering.
The term "false positive" is also used when antivirus software wrongly classifies a harmless file as a virus. The incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in a database. Similar problems can occur with antitrojan or antispyware software.
Detection algorithms of all kinds often create false positives. Optical character recognition (OCR) software may detect an "a" where there are only some dots that appear to be an "a" to the algorithm being used.
False positives are routinely found every day in airport security screening, which are ultimately visual inspection systems. The installed security alarms are intended to prevent weapons being brought onto aircraft; yet they are often set to such high sensitivity that they alarm many times a day for minor items, such as keys, belt buckles, loose change, mobile phones, and tacks in shoes.
The ratio of false positives (identifying an innocent traveller as a terrorist) to true positives (detecting a would-be terrorist) is, therefore, very high; and because almost every alarm is a false positive, the positive predictive value of these screening tests is very low.
The relative cost of false results determines the likelihood that test creators allow these events to occur. As the cost of a false negative in this scenario is extremely high (not detecting a bomb being brought onto a plane could result in hundreds of deaths) whilst the cost of a false positive is relatively low (a reasonably simple further inspection) the most appropriate test is one with a low statistical specificity but high statistical sensitivity (one that allows a high rate of false positives in return for minimal false negatives).
Biometric matching, such as for fingerprint recognition, facial recognition or iris recognition, is susceptible to type I and type II errors. The null hypothesis is that the input does identify someone in the searched list of people, so:
If the system is designed to rarely match suspects then the probability of type II errors can be called the "false alarm rate". On the other hand, if the system is used for validation (and acceptance is the norm) then the FAR is a measure of system security, while the FRR measures user inconvenience level.
In the practice of medicine, there is a significant difference between the applications of screening and testing.
For example, most states in the USA require newborns to be screened for phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism, among other congenital disorders. Although they display a high rate of false positives, the screening tests are considered valuable because they greatly increase the likelihood of detecting these disorders at a far earlier stage.[14]
The simple blood tests used to screen possible blood donors for HIV and hepatitis have a significant rate of false positives; however, physicians use much more expensive and far more precise tests to determine whether a person is actually infected with either of these viruses.
Perhaps the most widely discussed false positives in medical screening come from the breast cancer screening procedure mammography. The US rate of false positive mammograms is up to 15%, the highest in world. One consequence of the high false positive rate in the US is that, in any 10-year period, half of the American women screened receive a false positive mammogram. False positive mammograms are costly, with over $100 million spent annually in the U.S. on follow-up testing and treatment. They also cause women unneeded anxiety. As a result of the high false positive rate in the US, as many as 90–95% of women who get a positive mammogram do not have the condition. The lowest rate in the world is in the Netherlands, 1%. The lowest rates are generally in Northern Europe where mammography films are read twice and a high threshold for additional testing is set (the high threshold decreases the power of the test).
The ideal population screening test would be cheap, easy to administer, and produce zero false-negatives, if possible. Such tests usually produce more false-positives, which can subsequently be sorted out by more sophisticated (and expensive) testing.
False negatives and false positives are significant issues in medical testing. False negatives may provide a falsely reassuring message to patients and physicians that disease is absent, when it is actually present. This sometimes leads to inappropriate or inadequate treatment of both the patient and their disease. A common example is relying on cardiac stress tests to detect coronary atherosclerosis, even though cardiac stress tests are known to only detect limitations of coronary artery blood flow due to advanced stenosis.
False negatives produce serious and counter-intuitive problems, especially when the condition being searched for is common. If a test with a false negative rate of only 10%, is used to test a population with a true occurrence rate of 70%, many of the negatives detected by the test will be false.
False positives can also produce serious and counter-intuitive problems when the condition being searched for is rare, as in screening. If a test has a false positive rate of one in ten thousand, but only one in a million samples (or people) is a true positive, most of the positives detected by that test will be false. The probability that an observed positive result is a false positive may be calculated using Bayes' theorem.
crossover error rate (that point where the probabilities of False Reject (Type I error) and False Fail to reject (Type II error) are approximately equal) is .00076%

Future Vision of Migrant Healthcare
Currently there are over 65 million displaced people globally, and while healthcare is a basic human right, the growing number of migrants and refugees is making it increasingly difficult to provide care on the ground. Frontend approached the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), the global body responsible to migrant welfare, to propose a student design challenge to conceptualise a 'Future Vision of Migrant Healthcare'. A creative environment was created where students from each institution, 10 in total, worked collaboratively with the Frontend team for three days and nights – sharing knowledge, learning from staff, and working towards better healthcare for some of the most vulnerable people on the planet. By combining design students from different colleges with different backgrounds with the guidance of the Frontend team – the project was able to explore the problems facing migrants and propose conceptual solutions for the future vision of migrant health.

BERLIN, Germany, Oct 13, 2016 – With the upcoming release of the iOS version of ARES Touch in November 2016 and the follow-on release of ARES Kudo in the following months, Graebert GmbH, announced that its ARES CAD software will be the first to offer a "trinity" of DWG-based CAD solutions covering the three major platforms: desktop, mobile and cloud – all within the same subscription.
At its Annual Meeting, Graebert introduced its "trinity" as three distinct solutions converging into a single user experience – allowing users to take advantage of each platform with similar CAD features but different use cases:
- ARES Commander for the heaviest CAD tasks and offline-use on Windows, MacOS and
Linux computers
- ARES Touch to create, read, modify and annotate DWG drawings on iOS and Android
smartphones or tablets
- ARES Kudo to improve agility and collaboration with cloud-based viewing and editing features but also with unique sharing and collaboration tools
With the release of ARES Commander 2017 in November, Graebert will introduce a new dark color scheme in its user interface, harmonizing the look and feel of the three products. The new user interface aims at offering a consistent user experience and facilitating a better sharing workflow. The trinity concept will also impact licensing, with a new customer portal allowing each user to manage licenses and rights across all their computers and devices.
Wilfried Graebert, CEO of Graebert commented: " With the "trinity of CAD", our ambition is clearly to offer the best user experience for DWG-based CAD software. The transition to Mobile and Cloud in the CAD industry will obviously take years and, in the meantime, we will see desktop, mobile and cloud coexisting. Our customers don't want to be forced into only one of these options. We believe that high synergies can be achieved by combining the three into a unique user experience. Our main competitor is struggling with a difficult transition to a subscription-based business model. With the trinity of CAD offered by the ARES CAD software, Graebert has an opportunity to take a leadership position and grab market share very quickly."
The ARES CAD software share a common subscription structure, allowing the same user to work from several computers (ARES Commander for Windows, Mac or Linux), mobile devices (ARES Touch for Android and iOS) and the cloud with the upcoming ARES Kudo.
Unlike many players in the software industry, Graebert takes pride in offering the choice between an Annual Plan and Perpetual licenses. The Annual Plan is an all-inclusive subscription that will include the three products, for the flat yearly fee of 250 USD in Americas or 250 Euros in Western Europe. The Perpetual license includes, for 795 USD in Americas or 795 Euros in Western Europe, an unlimited license of ARES Commander for one computer and a renewable one year subscription including ARES Touch and ARES Kudo. Prices may vary in other regions.
The features of ARES Kudo will be gradually released and synchronized with the release of the Service Packs of ARES Commander 2017. The first version will be introduced with viewing and sharing capabilities by the release of the Service Pack 1 of ARES Commander 2017. The editing features will be further deployed together with the following Service Packs.
About Graebert
Graebert is a leading developer of CAD software, solutions and services. They are recognized as a true innovator in the CAD industry and have more than 30 years of expertise. Their DWG-based CAD systems were the first to run on Windows, Mac and Linux. Graebert is also a pioneer in mobile CAD technologies on Android and iOS.

Now that a bit of time has passed, I wanted to share some thoughts about the new Canon EOS R mirrorless camera.
The negativity surrounding camera announcements had me stunned. So much so that I really started to hate YouTube and social media in general for it is filled with people full of negativity and yes, hate. I love camera gear and I suffer from the famous G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) like the next person. However, I do not really go onto the internet and leave vile comments or insult others for having a different opinion to myself… I like to take the high road in these instances and not usually respond to trolls… having said that, sometimes I cannot help myself and I have to respond. Enough is just enough sometimes.
However, I digress.
As it was a Canon camera that was announced it became obvious that people would make jokes about it and generally give it a lot of negativity.
To me a camera is a tool to express my creativity and when I need to deliver a job.
It needs to work and work well.
Canon has done that for me for a long time now and I am not really inclined to leave the system. Sure, I could. I actually pondered switching when the Nikon D850 came out as that camera has a lot of features I really like. Just not the lenses I need want and need.
I then thought about switching to Fuji entirely. I already have a Fuji X-Pro2 which I enjoy a lot. I only have three lenses for it at the moment but I am planning to add a 16mm and a 56mm in the near to mid future. It is just my go to camera for street photography and when generally out and about.
But when I use my Canon 5D Mark IV for an event such as a wedding or gig, I just feel great with it. I feel the freedom to create and to forget about the cameras' settings or what button to press as I know exactly where everything is. I also love the image quality. I don't really care what YouTube thinks. I feel the 5D Mark IV produces great images and I just love the colours.
What I love even more is how the RAW files translate into black and white conversions. Just stunning and very close to film. What more can I ask for?
Besides, a client wouldn't notice what type of camera the image was made with and I would like to think that a client also doesn't care as long as you get the job done.
So when the new EOS R full frame mirrorless was announced, I was naturally excited.
Oh boy, I love the design of the new camera a lot.
The features I want and need are almost all there but there are a couple of niggles that make me steer away from it for now… These are mainly the lack of a joystick to navigate around the focus points and the lack of a second card slot. When shooting events this is vital nowadays as a redundancy option. It is not really a sign of the quality of the camera but more who Canon is aiming the camera at.
There is a really good video from Canon USA describing the cameras' features in great detail and Canon is very clear that it is aimed at enthusiasts and people stepping up to full frame, maybe from APS-C cameras.
Check the video out here: Canon EOS R Overview
In the end this means, this camera is not for me… I am not stepping up, I want a second body to add to my 5D IV and eventually go full mirrorless.
If Canon can deliver this with a more high end model i.e. a mirrorless, better 5D, maybe the EOS R5 or something like that, then I am on board.
Because let's face it: Mirrorless is the way forward and the future and as a photographer you need to future proof yourself just to be able to deliver the images you want. For now, I am happy with my Canon and Fuji set up. As a side note though: Whilst writing this, the Fuji X-T3 has been announced and I was so impressed with it that i put it on pre-order. I am trading in my X-Pro2 as I got a really good offer for it and Fuji is also giving everyone an additional £200 trade in bonus which means, I get the new camera for pretty much for free! How awesome is that?
Anyway, I don't like to go too much into the technical details of camera equipment as I don't find it all too important so, just treat this post as a little opinion piece. Nothing more, nothing less.
So long.

From on the field to off the field with film study, pool recovery sessions, specific GK training for all GK's and much more!! Each player will have the opportunity to experience typical college training sessions while being directed and assessed by the SNC Men's Soccer coaching staff. Sessions will be broken up through a two-and-a-half-day period and all sessions will be directed by Men's Head Soccer Coach Derek Rhodes. He brings professional and Division I playing experience as well as years of coaching at High School, Club, and College Levels.

Coach Rhodes was also an assistant coach during the Green Knights most decorated stretch 2004-2007. During that time the Knights won three Conference Championships 2004, 2005, 2007. In addition, they qualified for the NCAA tournament in 2004, 2005, and 2006 including one trip to the sweet sixteen.

The siren song of BPO is, of course, the 20 to 40 percent savings that vendors often promise. "But there's lots of things that aren't factored into the initial cost savings," says Colangelo. For example, many BPO deals rely heavily on head count reductions to create savings, but this works only if a company is willing to let its employees go, either over to the outsourcer, to help ease the transition, or by layoffs. "A lot of companies are unwilling to send their most senior people to their BPO provider, so instead of keeping four people on staff, they keep 30 people," which raises costs significantly, Colangelo says.
There are also important balance-sheet issues to consider. Oftentimes, when a company outsources an entire process, it sells the associated hardware and software to the vendor. That means the company no longer gets the tax break for the depreciating assets; it now has to account for that process as an expense. On the other hand, the company can often charge the outsourcer book value for the hardware and software, which is far more than the true market value. "CFOs love the effects on balance sheets in year one," says Mary Lacity, an outsourcing expert and professor of information systems at the University of MissouriSt. Louis.
Poorly negotiated contracts will also add to your BPO costs. While relationship building is key to ensuring success with the BPO partner, make sure your contracts and service level agreements (SLAs) are clearly defined and followed to the letter. If your company has regulatory compliance issues, for example, make compliance part of the formal contract. Arrange for reparations (credits) in case the vendor doesn't deliver on specific deadlines. And when it comes time to hold your BPO partner financially responsible for failing to meet a service agreement, Colangelo advises companies to take the credit but give the vendor a chance to earn it back later onas long the service they deliver is impeccable. "That way you show the vendor that you're more interested in performance than money, and that helps build the partnership without promoting bad behavior," he says.

Elephant Odyssey, the blockbuster $44 million 7 acre project is well underway. This area will house elephants, lions and jaguars. The area represents 10% of the zoo area and is expected to take a total of 18 months to complete. The picture was taken Saturday, March 22nd, from overhead in the sky ride. Opening is expected in the Spring of 2009.

March 22, 2008
Keeper Scott Morford tooks us into the elephant barn this morning at the San Diego Zoo. Three asian elephants are kept here. The zoo is building a new elephant exhibit and will move these three as well as five from the Wild Animal Park into the new enclosure sometime during the spring 2009.
Sumithi, or Smitty, as she is affectionately called, is 39 years old, weighs 9,075 pounds and is the matriarch of the group. She came to the San Diego Zoo in 1968 from the island of Sri Lanka. The first picture was taken from inside the elephant barn and shows Smitty with her trunk up while opening her mouth. The second picture was taken as we were leaving showing her from the side with her interest still focused inside the barn.
Stephanie Bruns took our group on the stroll this morning. She works in the education department at the San Diego Zoo.

Book your short break or week away with 0% credit card fees.
Tucked behind the main street of the picturesque village of Rothbury, this delightful Grade II listed, stone built 19th century cottage was formerly the blacksmith cottage of Conway House. Conway Cottage has been recently refurbished to offer all modern facilities desired for contemporary living, yet has carefully retained many of its original features ensuring the property oozes character. An open fire in the lounge guarantees guests receive a warm welcome whatever the season and the cottage is snuggled in an attractive walled courtyard; idyllic for a spot of alfresco dining! Rothbury is found nestled at the foot of the heater clad Simonside and Lordenshaw Hills and straddles the banks of the trout and salmon rich River Coquet, where a licence and permit for fishing can be obtained locally. This is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists where the surrounding beautiful countryside can be absorbed. The village is known locally as the 'Gateway to the Northumberland National Park' where there are several quaint tea rooms, pubs, charming shops and a riverside 18 hole golf course all within a gentle stroll. The 1,000 acres estate of Cragside, once home to Lord Armstrong, and the first home in the world to be lit by hydro electricity is an interesting National Trust visitor attraction less than a mile away. The bustling market town of Alnwick, boasts its own dramatic castle, often referred to as 'The Windsor of the North' and ancestral home to the Duke of Northumberland (and film location for Harry Potter's Hogwarts Academy!) along with the spectacular 'Alnwick Garden', with its Grand Cascade Waterfall and restaurant incorporated within the largest tree house in Europe, 15 miles east. The Heritage coastline this area is proud to have acknowledged as An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is less than 20 miles away making Conway Cottage an excellent base for exploring north Northumberland and the Scottish Borders

The town offers a peaceful haven. The River Coquet meanders through its centre, creating a pleasant walk along the river bank. The High Street boasts a number of traditional independent shops, there is a quieter and gentler pace of life and a selection of country pubs to enjoy a traditional pub lunch or relaxing evening meal.
Just two miles east of the town is Cragside House, Gardens and Estate . An historic home and marvel of Victorian ingenuity - it was the first house in the world to be lit by hydro electricity - with miles of paths running through spectacular rocky and woodland scenery. Today it is managed by the National Trust.
The Lady's Well at nearby Holystone is an ancient attractive well thought to have been constructed by the Romans on the site of a natural spring and is well worth a visit.
Thrunton Woods, Edlingham Castle and Brinkburn Priory are rich in wildlife and the ideal spot for a summer picnic. North of Coquetdale you will find the Breamish Valley with its cold Cheviot streams and gorse-covered hill country cradling the charming villages of Powburn and Ingram.
From Rothbury you can explore the surrounding Simonside Hills and Cheviot Hills and all of Northumberland National Park. Walkers and cyclists will love the spectacular countryside

Robonaut 2 Set To Launch In February
Houston TX (SPX) Feb 01, 2011 NASA's Robonaut 2 is primed and ready for launch aboard space shuttle Discovery in February. R2 is so ready, in fact, that it's going up ahead of its legs, which will follow on a later launch. "The robot's legs aren't ready yet," says Rob Ambrose of NASA's Johnson Space Center. "We're still testing them. But there will be plenty for R2 to do while waiting for its lower extremities."

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
World-renowned pilgrimage and World Heritage site, the cathedral of old town Santiago de Compostela is not only architecturally stunning but is steeped in history. A place to which thousands of Christians walk the 'Camino de Santiago', the city and its cathedral mark the historical struggle between Muslims and Spanish Christians in the 10th century – but it is also a symbol of the coming of Christianity in Galicia. With its Gothic appearance, high Roman colonnades in the nave and its sacred interior, the cathedral is both an important and intriguing place to visit in Galicia's Santiago de Compostela.
Catedral Santiago de Compostela, Praza do Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela, Spain +34 981 583 548
Home to the Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña, the Galician and Spanish professional club, the Riazor stadium is the place to visit for avid followers of football or anyone that is interested in sports. Re-built in the 1940s, due to the fact that the club had grown too large for the previous stadium, the Estadio Riazor now seats 34,600 spectators. Having hosted major sporting events, including the 1982 World Cup final, the stadium is both structurally impressive and replete with history, making it a must-see for tourists in Galicia.
Deportiva Riazor, Rúa Manuel Murguía, A Coruña, Spain +34 981 189 800
With its Gothic structure and rich history, the Catedral de Ourense is a must-see if you are traveling to Ourense, Galicia. An important monument and perhaps a throwback to the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela, in the light of the imitative Door of Paradise, this basilica has its own unique story. It was rebuilt in the 13th century, having been destroyed by medieval Muslim invaders of the province, and is highly revered throughout Galicia. Despite being tucked away, the cathedral is a destination that should not be missed out.

Looking over the Atlantic Ocean, high atop a peninsula that juts out into the sea stands the Tower of Hercules. A beacon and landmark to A Coruña's harbor, northwest Galicia, the lighthouse's Roman history certifies it as a World Heritage site and a must-visit for tourists. The tower features a sculpture park in the form of enormous, chiseled rocks, which fascinatingly tracks the structural changes to the tower over time. From the tower's stairs, some 102 meters above sea level, breathtaking views of the deep blue, powerful Atlantic waves can be seen. At night, the tower's lights scan the ocean's surface and shine out onto the sea.
Torre de Hercules, Avenida Navarra, A Coruña, Spain +32 981 223 730
An instance of Galicia's deep, Roman history, the Walls of Lugo are a significant World Heritage Site that simply must be visited. Constructed in the 3rd century and enclosing the town itself, the walls were built as a defence to the Roman city of Lucus. A fascinating architectural structure that spans two kilometres, this site is described by UNESCO World Heritage as 'an outstanding example of the type of construction and architectural and archaeological group which illustrates various significant periods of human history'.

So got my first game in last night as my lands were being raided by some Anglo-Danes under the command of Leofstan the Bastard aka Orange Dave ;o).
As I was defending my War Crafty trait kicked in and the scenario would be an ambush with me as the aggressor.We decided to have ago at one of the new scenarios in the Age of the Wolf book, the forest road.
My Welsh attack from both flanks.
While my Warlord and bodyguards attack from the rear.
But the Anglo-Danes see off my attack and make it off the table to win the game.
The actual game was finished by turn 4 but we decided to work out all the campaign bits then finish the rest of the game for the fun of it.It ended up being a real blood bath with my mounted Teulu and Dave's Hearthguard slaughtering each other.This left Iuen and Leofstan to fight it out to see which Warlord would take the bragging rights.
The Warlords clash.
"GET OFF MY LAND" :o).
So a fun start to the campaign but I must say both me and Dave were a bit disappointed with the scenario, the idea was good but the set up seemed off as with a average set of dice the defender could easily exit the table by turn 2 or even turn 1 if mounted :o(.
Well that's it for now for SAGA as I don't need to play anymore campaign games until the next season as only Dave attacked me.I'm going to try and get a couple more non-campaign games in before then if I can plus I need to get a few more chaps painted up ready for when I hopefully get some reinforcements.

Mom's fitness is a very crucial topic that we want all the new moms or moms-to-be to know. This is a time which brings lots of changes in both your body and mind. We want you to welcome these changes with open arms and we got you back throughout. Fitness is not a few months of exercises and diets, but a whole lifestyle that you habituate yourself to. Here you will find the best lifestyle and nutritional tips and recipes, respectively. This is to guide you through the change that your body goes through both inside as well as outside.
Exercise is beneficial to everybody but what about moms? They need it the most and this is not only to remove your post childbirth belly but also keep you mentally fresh. It is known to all that exercise releases happy hormones in the body which in turn reduces stress and the feelings that are pent up. When you exercise, you are basically in tune with all the requirements of your body. You can start yoga, jogging, lift weights or dance away with Zumba and all these are great ways to know and understand your body. This enables you to also know of any form of pains or aches that your body has.
This is the only time that you will get to spend the entire day which is much required. After many studies, it has been seen that most mothers go through postpartum depression. This is one huge boulder that is on the new mom's mind which needs to be treated and removed. Postpartum depression can be fought with old school exercises such as running and walking. You can also try some Pilates and weightlifting. Once the feel-good hormones are released, you will start enjoying the new phase in your life and the changes that you are fighting positively.
When it comes to ignoring anything, mom's are the first ones who ignore their own requirements and needs. Moms take care of the entire family but miss out on themselves. Moms keep them way below in the priority list and this need to change a little. When you exercise, you not only work towards a better lifestyle but also encourage your children to do the same. Exercising also boosts confidence and makes you feel good about your body. Who does not like a fit body and start off with some exercises right away. Exercise also helps you to sleep better without any body or joint pain. Make a habit even if for 30 minutes and combat all forms of excuses that you are coming up with. Everyday 30 minutes for yourself is what your goal should be and this can be any time of the day. You can create a habit of exercising either early in the morning or in the evening but it has to be one fixed time. Want to skip a day? No, you cannot. You cannot skip a day of remaining healthy and your journey towards fitness cannot be missed, no matter what. Are you motivated enough to start your journey towards a fitter you?

This section contains documents published by central government and local authorities setting out policy and public authority responses to violence against women and girls. This selection of UK policy documents sets out the non-legislative measures adopted by the UK Government in order to respond to violence against women and girls (VAWG). The documents include strategy papers published by the Home Office, the Mayor of London's Office and the Crown Prosecution Service.
The Code of Practice for Victims of Crime sets out the minimum standards of service that victims of crime can expect. The Code was issued under s.32 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004 and implements relevant provisions of the EU Directive 2012/29/EU establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime, Directive 2011/92/EU combating the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children and Directive 2011/36/EU preventing and combating the trafficking of human beings.
The CPS's legal guidance on the implementation of the Victim's Code can be accessed here.
This outlines the UK government strategy to eliminate violence against women and girls. It rests on four main pillars: prevention, provision of services, partnership working and pursuing perpetrators.
This Home Office documents set out the application of the Destitute Domestic Violence Concession (DDVC) which allows individuals with certain types of immigration status to access public funds when they would ordinarily be ineligible by virtue of their immigration status.
This strategy and accompanying action plans set out the vision for developing CPS VAWG work in line with the wider CPS and cross-government VAWG Strategy Objectives.
This CPS document is intended to assist prosecutors dealing with violence against women and girls (VAWG) cases involving vulnerable victims.
The CPS publishes an annual VAWG crime report which covers child abuse; domestic abuse; forced marriage; harassment; honour-based violence; human trafficking; pornography; prostitution; and rape and sexual offences. The 2017-18 report can be downloaded below.
Home Office Guidance on Violence Against Women and Girls Services: Supporting Local Commissioning 2016
This Home Office guide emphasises the importance of conducting needs assessments in local areas and states that the approach to commissioning should be strongly framed in an equalities-based approach. The commissioning process should take into account the demographics of the local population and the guidance acknowledges the importance of specialist services for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BME) women victims of violence.
This report is the third in a series of thematic reports evaluating the response provided to victims of domestic abuse by the police service. HMICFRS published its first report in this series in March 2014 after it was commissioned by the Home Secretary to inspect the police response to domestic violence and abuse.
In England, Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) have responsibility for commissioning the majority of local services to help and protect victims and survivors of violence. This report by Dame Vera Baird QC, PCC for Northumbria and APCC Portfolio Lead for Supporting Victims and Reducing Harm, highlights six projects undertaken by PCCs which are making a difference to the lives of women and girls affected by violence.
This is the first ever regional police strategy to tackle VAWG at the local level. The strategy was launched by the three regional Police and Crime Commissioners: Northumbria's Dame Vera Baird, Cleveland's Barry Coppinger and Durham's Ron Hogg. It sets out a 20-point plan to provide support and protect women and girls who are victims of violence or abuse.
Greater London Authority Mayor's Office on Policing and Crime (MOPAC) Ending VAWG Strategy 2018-2021
The London Mayor's Office on Policing and Crime (MOPAC) published this strategy in 2018 setting out its commitment to tackling gender-based violence in the capital and detailing plans concerning the prevention and response to violence against women and girls.
MOPAC Survivors' Consultation: Listening to Women and Girls Affected by Gender Based Violence March 2018
This publication details the experiences and views of those affected by gender-based violence in London that were collated during a consultation that informed the Mayor's Office on Policing and Crime (MOPAC) ending violence against women and girls strategy.

With such a large fee, you might try a different broker until you grow your account to where fees don't matter
I agree with @jungem05. Try to find a broker with a more suitable fee structure. I started last year with a broker that charged me about 30 USD for a round-trip trade (1 entry + 1 exit). Due to the high fees, many trades ended up as loss or break-even, when they could have been profits. Had I been with Interactive Brokers from the start, I actually would have made net profit last year, instead of net loss. Also, try to find setups/patterns (and maybe higher priced stocks) that can give you more
Also, try to find setups/patterns (and maybe higher priced stocks) that can give you more profit per share. It's hard to grow the account (in the beginning) when you are relying on pennies per share to make money. I'm currently trading stocks that have 1-3 dollars of profit potential. I find this better to manage (they are a bit slower than penny-stocks) and it helps me to avoid the habit of scalping.

Coil over VS Springs???
Which is better for lowering your ride? Coil overs or Lowering springs?
I heard coil overs are stiffer than springs... but need an expert advice
Re: Coil over VS Springs???
to improve ride handling, coilovers definitely. a good set will let you tune the suspension settings to whatever you desire like ride height, damping etc. they consist of springs + shocks.
lowering springs are springs only, it just lowers the car. handling may improve as the center of gravity is reduced. though in the long run it will probably destroy your shock absorbers.
do note if you lower your car more than 1inch you will probably need a camber kit to get the alignment back to factory spec
off topic: you have started more new posts in 1 month than i have in 2-3yrs lol
Re: Coil over VS Springs???
hmmm thanks for the details... but one of my frnds was saying the coilovers make ur suspension hard as rock... and even small bumps gets all the body rattled...
The springs on the other hand would be replacing only ur stock springs... the stock shocks will be as they are... so the ride would be a bit softer... but thats just a guess...
and haha.... posts are for the love of cars... this site is *bookmarked*
Re: Coil over VS Springs???
oh and i forgot... what would getting a camber kit mean?
Would i be required to get a new one for the new coilovers or just need it to be aligned again from a wheel alignment workshop?
Re: Coil over VS Springs???
yes springs would be more comfortable than coilovers. Coilovers will give you better handling compared to springs. so you have to decided what you need more.
camber kit is so that your wheel camber can be brought back to spec cause when the car is lowered the camber and toe changes. you will definitely need an alignment after installation of springs or coilovers. google for camber kits for your car.
Re: Coil over VS Springs???
tax mate.... got serious info!!
Re: Coil over VS Springs???
for normal drives go for springs... coilovers will make it too stiff for u... but as mentioned above by brembo... better handling is with coilovers
Re: Coil over VS Springs???
hi would like to ask if where i can find a lowering spring for my maxima 99. coilover will also do. i am from qatar appreciate if you can help me if it is available near by. middle east for fast shipping. thanks

VIDEO: Gucci Mane – Stutter
DOWNLOAD @ VIDEO: Gucci Mane – Stutter
Gucci Mane present the Official music video for Stutter off his recently released The Return Of East Atlanta Santa album.
Featuring scantily clad women in what looks like a strip joint or a private nightclub where he's the only man allowed, Gucci Mane's new video for "Stutter" is a thirst trap for the holidays. No doubt, the 36-year-old rapper has been on a tear in this later half of the year. Fresh off his brand new The Return Of East Atlanta Santa album, the single is the latest in a string of bangers the ATL rapper has delivered since his release from prison in May. Gucci is currently on tour in California and will perform in Santa Ana on Dec. 22 and San Diego on Dec. 23.

Harness Racing Victoria's May and June $1500 breeding vouchers are helping keep breeders in the game.
To date, 26 fillies and mares' races have been run since HRV announced on March 28 that for a two-month period all 177 fillies and mares' races would carry a $1500 breeding voucher bonus – $1000 to the breeder and $500 to the owner. This is a stimulus of $115,500 to the breeding industry.
Ian Kitchin and Stephen Clarke are two of 25 individual breeders who have so far picked up a $1000 breeding voucher in May.
Kitchin bred Larajay Macray, who he races with trainer Jess Tubbs, while Clarke bred, races and trains Miss McGonagall.
Because Kitchin and Clarke not only bred their fillies but also race them, they will each pick up the full $1500 worth of vouchers.
"I shelled out $35,000 two years ago and $25,000 last year, anything coming back the other way certainly makes things much more palatable and this will certainly help keep people in the breeding game," Kitchin said.
"Absolutely I welcome this initiative. It will help lessen the burden on the breeders and that's really important."
Clarke, who calls himself a "small breeder", said the $1500 incentive would probably be the difference between breeding next season and not.
"Hell yeah," he declared. "It certainly does help. Perhaps at this stage to be honest I hadn't been thinking about breeding at all, but this helps out a lot and is probably not good news for my wife because she reckons I've got too many horses as it is.
"The more we can get back the better. The more incentive, especially for the smaller breeders, perhaps this can help also get our mares served by the more upmarket stallions."
Breeding vouchers bonuses will continue to be attached to all Victorian fillies and mares' races until the end of June, and HRV also announced this week that all 12 Vicbred Super Series winners would receive a $1500 breeding voucher this year.

Sunday held a first in Salon history: an entire evening recorded audially for demo and posterity! The evening was dubbed "The Recording Artist: An Evening with Peter Millrose." Peter is a recording engineer (www.millrosemusic.com), who set up his computer and microphones ahead of time to isolate the piano and get inputs from the microphones on separate tracks. He recorded the entire show so that singers might be able to get a high-quality copy of their work, should they wish!
The wonderful co-hostess of the evening was Julie Reyburn, who has several CDs (including her "Live at Feinstein's" CD which garnered her a 2010 Bistro Award for Outstanding Recording). Also in attendance was her husband, musician Thor Fields, and their daughter Layla. The special guest performer was the always ebullient and charming MAC Award-Winner (Male Vocalist) Hector Coris, whose live recording at Don't Tell Mama was made into a CD "Life is Wonderful."
It was a unique and respectful evening, as Mark instructed the audience to hold on applause until the last notes of the piano died down for each song. Or, in many cases, if the singer wanted a live sound to his or her recording we were instructed to let 'er loose and rip with the laughter, applause and (in some cases) sing-alongs! Believe you me, some of the performances were so great that the holding off of applause after each song was dreadfully difficult!
The first set started out with the lovely Julie Reyburn, performing "Let's Fall in Love" from her show "Summer Nights," an excellent set of beautiful songs. She performed two nights at Feinstein's this past July, and will be taking it to the Laurie Beechman on August 31st at 7pm, with Musical Director Mark Janas, Ritt Henn on bass and Walter Usiatynski on drums. Directed by Lennie Watts. Susan Hogdon, who belted and swayed through "When You're Good to Mama" from Chicago. She's performing in the Metrostar Challenge at the Metropolitan Room, and is developing a solo show in the fall with Lennie Watts as director. Then David Rigano sang "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" and Tanya Moberly returned "The Pluto Song" to the stage, written by Dan Furman (who was also at the piano) to record the song as a demo. Next, Joey Infante - with Mike McDonald at the piano - sang "Almost Like Being in Love" in a lovely rhumba arrangement. Then Mike himself sang his composition entitled "Wearing My Shoes."
We then had the lovely writing team of Jennie Litt and David Alpher perform the beautiful "Hello In There," a sweet lullabye originally written for their unborn daughter. They will be appearing at Don't Tell Mama this Saturday the 31st at 5pm for their show "Composing Ourselves," a mixture of original pieces and standards. After them, Kevin McMullan sang James Fradrich's ballad "Lonely Little Dreamer." He is going to be performing a show at the Laurie Beechman in October and November, tentatively titled "Gypsies and Lost Souls...in a New Age." After Kevin, Edie Stokes performed the favorite "A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square," and had the great announcement that she will be releasing her own CD with an official release show shortly. We then had Tony Imgrund return to Salon with "What If I Loved You," an interesting piece by Joey Gian from the movie Return to Me. We then had Richard Eisenberg sing his rah-rah song "Good Old American Hamberger," which we all agreed should become the theme song for a good hamburger shack here in the city!
We then had Steve "The Whistler" Herbst (International Grand Champion Whistler, 3 times International Whistler Entertainer of the Year *and* member of the Whistler's Hall of Fame) whistled the "Revenge Aria" from The Queen of the Night (Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen) with Mark playing from memory at the piano. It was stunning to hear the traditionally high soprano notes whistled effortlessly from Steve, and the audience burst into applause after Mark signalled that it was "safe" to express ourselves! Julie also said that Layla loved it, as this was one of her favorite arias. The lovely MAC and Bistro award-winner Danielle Grabianowski
sang "Beat My Dog," a saucy done-me-wrong ballad. She will be co-hosting The Salon on August 22nd with the theme "Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda – Songs of Regret" and has a number of shows coming up at the end of October.
We then had a new face and voice, that of Steven Strafford, to come up and sing. Steven just finished playing Prince Herbert in the Sacramento Music Circus verison of "Spamalot," and showed off his comedy and musical theater pipes with the song "Fatso." To follow him Sierra Rein challenged Mark Janas to sight-read "And I Will Follow" by Jason Robert Brown. Our first Etceterette, Arianna, then sang "The Heart is Slow to Learn," which some Andrew Lloyd Webber fans might recognize as the original version of the title song for his new musical "Love Never Dies." Arianna prefers the subtlety and poetry of the original lyrics, and I heartily agree!
We then had our second Etceterette, Janice Hall, sing a German pop song as a torch song, with her English translation of the lyrics (which were quite witty...maybe there's a future as a lyricist for Janice!). She is also a challenger for the MetroStar competition, and is planning a show in the fall of 2010.
The second half of the evening began with the bang that is Hector Coris. Funny, charming and devilish, yet able to sing moving ballads with equal ease, Hector won a 2010 MAC Award for Male Vocalist in May. On Sunday, he sang three showcasing pieces of work: the first was Bill Zeffiro's "Spanish Fly," a dirty ditty originally cut from Zeffiro's show "The Road to Ruin." The second piece was from Mack & Mabel, the beautiful Jerry Herman song "I Won't Send Roses." Lastly, Coris sang a sweet song by David Caldwell, entitled "A Tomb With a View," which was featured in Coris' Life is Wonderful show/live CD.
After Hector charmed us, we had a stunning Classical Corner with Mark Janas. Mark brought up a seriously important subject in the musical world, one that affects arrangements: Counterpoint. Jazz musicians share the ability to play with counterpoint with composers like Beethoven, Bach and Mozart, and even the concept of the "Round" (as in "Row, Row, Row Your Boat") utilize counterpoint to play with and/or against melodies within an arrangement. To illustrate the use of counterpoint, Mark went step by step through an arrangement of "Do I Hear a Waltz," one that he did for Julie Reyburn's show. With Julie singing, he showed how many counterpoint melodies of famous Rogers and Hammerstein waltzes he had placed in the accompaniment (we could find "Falling in Love With Love," "It's a Grand Night for Singing," "Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'" and "Out of My Dreams" amongst others!). As Mark illustrated, counterpoint can change the emotion, the mood and the intent of a song as it relates to the melody and lyrics of the song. Another interesting note: a "Round" is not called a "Round" merely because the melody goes 'round and 'round. Instead, it comes from the practice of music students in medieval times, who passed sheets of one copy of music around a table (taking their turns to sight-read the canon at the appropriate time). You learn something new every week in Classical Corner!
We then heard a haunting waltz from Producer Tanya Moberly, a song entitled "Lullaby" which was - ironically - devoid of counterpoint in the piano arrangement. Tanya will be bringing back her show "Theatre Songs" to Don't Tell Mama on September 30th at 9pm, with Mark Janas at the piano and Ritt Henn on bass. After Tanya, we then had the gorgeously baritone'd Mark Watson, who wanted to record the song "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" for his mom (all together now..."awwwwwwww!"). This coming Monday, Mark will be performing a scene at the Producer's Club in the show "Lovers and Other Strangers." Our favorite singing waiter, David Ballard, brought his clear tenor tones to record "The Streets of Dublin," which always fits his voice beautifully. We then had Jac DiMonte croon his way through the ballad "I'm Not Lonely," with music by Lew Spence and lyrics by Marilyn Keith.
Liz Ulmer then popped up on stage to sing the note and pitch perfect "Just to Look at Him," a sweet song by Brian Lasser. She is helping to produce the production I Got Fired, which will be a featured show at NYMF (the New York Musical Theater Festival) in September and October! Steve Schachlin then came up to sing his piece "Somebody Save Me a Seat," and let us know that he is taking part in what he calls "Musical Insurrection for Peace" and is offering free downloads of his work online for singers and musicians to use. You can do so here. After Steve, we heard some encores! Danielle Grabianowski returned with a Nina Simone rewrite of Betsy Smith's "I Need a Little Sugar in My Bowl." Richard Eisenberg brought "Look at the Smile on My Face," and then Janice Hall torched her way through Jacques Brel's "Ne Me Quitte Pas/If You Go Away." Steve Stafford then sang a sweetly funny song by Vance Gilbert entitled "Waiting for Gilligan," which answered some questions about who might be waiting for that 3-hour tour to return. Arianna brought out her character voice with "What's Wrong With Me," the star turn song sung by Lena Lamont in the stage adaptation of Singin' In the Rain. Steve "The Whistler" Herbst returned to sing a standard through whistling power, and Sierra Rein came after him to sing Carol King's "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman)," one of her favorite recording artists. Kevin McMullan brought his energetic rendition of "Minnie The Moocher," and Peter captured the audience's call and response vocals with Kevin's own. To complete the evening, our gracious hostess Julie Reyburn sang her rendition of "Moon River/It Goes Like It Goes."
THIS SUNDAY! The Salon celebrates the ones, twos and threes with the theme "It's Mathematical – Numbers About Numbers." Jim Brochu will be the guest performer, and the comedy/improv/music duo Booth and Pat will officiate as guest co-hosts!

Through Hollow Lands
Like Brian Moore given a make-over by James Elroy. Excellent stuff.
(Bestselling novelist Colin Bateman)
About Through Hollow Lands
Set in the US on 11th September 2001, Through Hollow Lands tells the story of George Bailey, a charming but feckless opportunist who finds himself trapped in the seeming purgatory of Las Vegas.
He is followed there by Lou Plutus – his boss and a pornographer – from whom he has stolen a 'Kompromat' video of great importance to the Russian mafia. George un-expectantly encounters Jaffé Losoko there, a naïve, young Ethiopian woman whom he had got pregnant some six years before and arranged for an abortion. She now works in the Vegas sex trade. To escape, George must face his Russian pursuers – the terrifying 'Triptych' – head on and make amends to Jaffé. Beset by angels and demons, truth-tellers and liars, he must pay for the sins of his past in order to find salvation beyond Vegas.
The book explores the trauma visited upon the American psyche in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
Through Hollow Lands is the author's compelling second novel, following the critically acclaimed White Church, Black Mountain.

Lost amid the concerns of the COVID-19 outbreak was the outcome of the March 3 general obligation bond election for Measure M. On election night, with about 53 percent voter support, media outlets reported that the measure appeared defeated as it fell short of the 55 percent needed to pass. However, mail and provisional ballots hadn't been tallied yet. And as the COVID-19 crisis led to school closures, and social distancing directives, the count of absentee ballots continued. Each week brought Measure M closer and closer to approval. Finally, on April 2, the San Diego Registrar of Voters completed the count. Measure M was approved by 55.42 percent of local voters.
"The last ballots were counted, and surprise! Measure M achieved victory. What a comeback," said Superintendent Francisco Escobedo, Ed.D. "We are grateful and proud of the support we received."
Measure M will help our District implement a range of school improvement projects that include safety and security measures. In addition, the bond measure will fund projects such as Teacher-Staff Affordable Housing, Early Years Preschool Facilities, and Installation of a District-wide Solar System. The solar energy plan alone could lead to more than $2 million in energy savings annually. The projects will also spur local job creation, which given current conditions, can only grow in importance.
At its April 22 meeting, the Board of Education formally adopted a resolution certifying the election results.
