LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Several Arkansas universities have reported a drop in the enrollment of international students.
The downturn could be a concern for universities that rely on tuition from foreign students, who are typically charged higher rates.
The University of Arkansas in Fayetteville indicates that its international student population was down about 2% from 1,461 in fall 2017 to 1,433 in 2018, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported Tuesday. This fall, UA's international enrollment fell again by about 3% to 1,384, according to preliminary enrollment numbers.
Southern Arkansas University spokeswoman Caleigh Moyer provided data that shows the school's international student population declined to 397 in 2018-2019 from 730 students the previous academic year.
Thilla Sivakumaran, Arkansas State University's executive director of global engagement and outreach, said the university had 714 foreign students in fall 2017, but enrollment dropped about 12% to 630 students in fall 2018.
The Institute of International Education's annual Open Doors report released Monday shows a dip in international students in undergraduate and graduate programs across the country. It found that enrollment of international students fell by 1% in fall 2018 from the previous year. It follows decreases of 7% and 3% in the previous two years.
Some U.S. schools have blamed President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric for driving students away, but State Department officials dismissed the idea.
Caroline Casagrande, deputy assistant secretary for academic programs at the department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, said students are deterred by the high cost of attending U.S. schools.

In our latest episode, Mackey asks a very important question: Where are you going?
Mackey talks about the recent passing of Billy Graham, and regardless of religion, Billy Graham was an important figure in our nation's history. Throughout his lifetime, Billy Graham stood in the gap for us in ways that hadn't been done before, in ways that no one else could. As we look back at his life, we can easily notice that he lived his life with purpose. He had a vision and a purpose in his life that he followed throughout his whole life.
The importance of begging the question, where are you going, is understanding that if we don't know where we are going, we don't know what we are doing in the moment. It is what we are doing in the moment, the decisions we are making now that will determine where we will be tomorrow.
QOTD: We are not living in a world where all roads are radii of
a circle and where all, if followed long enough, will therefore
draw gradually nearer and finally meet at the centre: rather in a
world where every road, after a few miles, forks into two, and each
of those into two again, and at each fork, you must make a

LEO Pharma has now acquired the global product rights for Bayer's global prescription dermatology business with the exception of Afghanistan and Pakistan
LEO Pharma and Bayer have announced the achievement of the relevant closing conditions to allow the transfer of Bayer's global prescription dermatology business to LEO Pharma. The companies first announced the proposed transaction on July 31, 2018 and completed the first step of the acquisition with the closing in the United States on September 4, 2018. Today's second and final closing covers all other countries.
Gitte Aabo, President and CEO of LEO Pharma said: "Today is a historic day for LEO Pharma. With the strong prescription dermatology brands and the new colleagues from Bayer, LEO Pharma advances significantly towards our goal of helping 125 million patients by 2025. We broaden our treatment range within the areas of acne, fungal skin infections and rosacea, as well as our range of topical steroids. By completing the final part of the acquisition, we considerably enhance our size in key markets like Brazil, Austria, and South Africa – underlining our ambition to become a world leader in medical dermatology."
"We're pleased to have found the right owner in LEO Phama to take our Rx Dermatology business to the next level," said Heiko Schipper, member of Bayer's Board of Management and President of Consumer Health. "With this divestiture we further our goal to focus on our core OTC categories and develop our Consumer Health business to its full potential."
As announced as part of the agreement, LEO Pharma has now acquired the global product rights for Bayer's global prescription dermatology business with the exception of Afghanistan and Pakistan. This includes a production facility in Segrate, Italy and a total of 347 employees who will join LEO Pharma.
Subject to applicable laws, LEO Pharma and Bayer have worked closely together to secure an effective transition and an uninterrupted supply of prescription dermatology treatments.

But I still went up to the track after work to get my intervals done, and not surprisingly I was only one crazy enough to be out there running. I a set of 1/2 mile repeats that I would have liked to getting done at 6 min pace but based on the heat I'm happy with a 6:30 average.
And as soon as I got home it was right into the pool which felt awesome.

The life Sciences Discovery Fund, in a finale made possible by a $2 million error by a legislative leadership intent on ending state funding for the organization whose years of grants have enhanced Washington's life-science competitiveness, is preparing for what could be its most important grant-making decision.
The board of LSDF, which was created a decade ago from the state's $1 billion share of tobacco-settlement money to promote the growth of the life-science industry, will soon be reviewing four finalists for what are characterized as "ecosystem" grants. The $2 million will go to one or more organizations that can stimulate momentum toward commercializing life-science innovations.
And while details of the four applications will remain under wraps until the LSDF board reviews them late this month and on February 8 announces one or more awards, one application that would pair the commercialization activities of the state's two research universities should attract considerable interest when those details emerge. That teamed application from UW and WSU is intriguingly titled the "Concept-to-Commerce Coalition."
The word "legacy" is one that has begun to be used by those who lament the decision by lawmakers to defund LSDF and who believe that what Executive Director John DesRosier dubbed "ecosystem 2016" grants could serve to create a follow-on to LSDF's decade-long role of funding life-science innovation.
And the fact the organization must remain in existence over the next two years to manage the 46 grants already awarded from the fund means LSDF can't just go away. And that leaves some supporters buoyed by the possibility that a new role could emerge for LSDF, possibly with an administrative role managing another type of health-related activity.
"LSDF is in a transition as a model that we know has to change in response to current circumstances, said board member Roger Woodworth, chief strategy officer for Spokane-based Avista Corp.
"It has been a wonderful asset for the state that has been remarkable in terms of attracting, administering and validating a variety of exceptional ideas," Woodworth added. "It is in transition but that doesn't mean we throw it away or shut it down."
The unanticipated opportunity for the "ecosystem 2016" grants came about when the lawmakers, primarily the Republican majority that was never invested in the value of LSDF, specified that while the funds LSDF needed to manage the existing grants would remain in its account, its remaining operating funds would shift back to the general fund.
Except that when the lawmakers spelled out the operating-funds total of $11 million, there was unexplainably almost $2 million left in the LSDF account, unallocated and not ordered sent to the general fund. So it remained under LSDF control.
DesRosier notes that the "ecosystem" grant competition will be different from individual grants LSDF has made to for-profit or non-profit life-science entities that have received pieces of the $106 million in grants made since 2007.
"This grant-making won't be about trying to perpetuate ourselves but rather be a key step to support the life-science ecosystem with funding support for one or more organizations that either already exist or would come to existence to stimulate momentum in commercialization," DesRosier said.
"The opportunity for the life-science sector in Washington is a huge one and that's why, when this fund was first created a decade ago, it was a smart way to begin to capture the enormous intellectual capital that existed in this state," says Carol Dahl, LSDF board chair.
Dahl, who is executive director of the Lemelson Foundation that supports what are called "impact inventions," points to the fact that almost 70 percent of the $1.5 billion in federal funds that flow into Washington each year is for life science.
But Dahl is among the many observers who seek ways to address the dilemma that while this state has developed one of the nation's most impressive life sciences non-profit sectors, it trails many other regions in the development of a for-profit sector. The Seattle area's biotech cluster, for example, is dramatically exceeded by the industry size in The Bay Area/Silicon Valley and San Diego, as well as places like Boston and North Carolina's Research Triangle.
As one national ranking of biotech clusters characterized it, the industry in the Seattle area is "being anchored more to academic and independent research institutions than local companies."
In other words, this state is experiencing a gap between early stage ideas and things that investors can be convinced to embrace.
"I believe in the future of the state's life science community, but there needs to be a change in people's willingness to invest in it," she said. "They need to develop a confidence about being part of the commercialization of what those federal dollars are producing in what has become one of the nation's most impressive life sciences non-profit sectors."
In fact, it was because of LSDF grants that a number of the emerging life science companies that are growing, creating jobs and carving out key roles in their industry were able to bridge what's famously known as "the valley of death" between concept and the time when investors can be lured to be involved.
Enhancing commercialization is what each of the four of the ecosystem grant applicants seeks to foster, including the team-grant proposal put together by UW and WSU.
Anson Fatland, the associate vice president for economic development and external affairs for Washington State University, explained how teaming with his UW counterpart came about after both universities had submitted initial proposals back in September when the plan for the life science eco-system grants was first unveiled by LSDF.
Fatland noted that once he and Patrick Shelby, who directs the New Ventures group at the UW Center for Commercialization, were both invited to submit full proposals, "we decided to sit down and talk about what we were trying to do."
"We realized we had a truly unique opportunity for innovation activities across the state, allowing the industry to really talk about a legacy grant," Fatland said.
The other applicants are Accelerator Corp., which is seeking money for a commercialization funding program; the Washington Biotech and Biomedical Association, and what's called the Southsound Research Coalition, which also involves UW along with Madigan Army Medical Center and Multicare Healthcare Systems.

Ben Zank was born in the Bronx, New York. At the age of 18, he began taking photographs for fun after he discovered a Pentax ME Super in his grandmother's attic. His self-portraits aim to stretch the viewer's imagination and express his feelings when words fail.
Well I kind of just made these images throughout the past year and a half. There's no story to any of them. I'm too scatter-brained to come up with a coherent series and I'm perfectly okay with that.
Working only with digital technologies means I rarely see my work printed in the flesh which, in truth, can cause a lack of attention to detail sometimes.
It's given me a megaphone to share my work all these years, and I'm pretty happy that no one has made any noise complaints yet.
I've got a moderately large backlog of images I've shot in the past two weeks that I'm slowly chipping away at on Photoshop.
I already had a blooming interest in photography, but finding a Pentax ME Super in my grandma's attic was a prompt kickstart to me taking photos now and not later.
I'd like to put a bit more production into some of my ideas. I don't want to go all out from the get-go, but making small adjustments like renting a cherry picker and getting permission to clear a street would be a great start.
I really can't say I've had anything negative stick with me except for overhearing someone in college (who was a photographer) call my work stupid behind my back. The jokes on them; they spent 100k on a degree in photography and their only critique for an image they don't like is calling it 'stupid'.
Did you hear that song by Kanye West? There was this guy on the track named Paul McCartney. I heard he is going be big now after that collaboration.

"As both long-term and tactical investors, we must balance the day-to-day "noise" of ongoing news stories such as trade wars, geopolitical events and conflicts with the longer-term trends of earnings, interest rates and economic data."
Download this Article
Halfway through 2019, global financial markets have teetered between euphoria and panic as global growth forecasts have been held captive by the seemingly unending trade war. Investors are getting a first-hand look at President Trump's aggressive negotiating style, but he has found a formidable opponent in his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. At the onset of the trade dispute, consensus opinion was that the US had the high ground due to its position as a net importer of Chinese goods. After all, the US imported $539 billion in Chinese goods in 2018 while exporting just $120 billion to China.
However, while China may not be able to match the US tit-for-tat in the tariff game, it may just be able to out-wait President Trump. President Xi conveniently arranged for term limits to be abolished in 2018, while President Trump will be increasingly shifting his focus to re-election as 2020 approaches. This scenario has been fascinating to watch, as Xi called on Chinese citizens to prepare to endure hardship of a new "long march", referencing the one-year, 4,000-mile military retreat undertaken by the Chinese Red Army in 1934. Since the beginning of the trade dispute, our prediction was that President Trump would strike a deal when he felt he had enough concessions to spin into a "victory" for re-election purposes. The Trump administration has repeatedly stated that the stock market performance is the yardstick by which its success should be measured, and a resolution to the trade dispute would likely spur markets to new highs and act as a tailwind for re-election.Thus far, moderately rising US consumer prices due to the tariffs have afforded some extra leeway, but pressure is mounting from the leadership of large US corporations to reach a conclusion. Some US companies have already begun to rearrange their global supply chains, perhaps permanently away from China, which is a consequence unlikely to deter the current US tactics. We know that President Trump loves to negotiate deals, and we also know that he holds grudges. If he wins re-election we would expect renewed trade hostilities with China, regardless of any deal.
As both long-term and tactical investors, we must balance the day-to-day "noise" of ongoing news stories such as trade wars, geopolitical events and conflicts with the longer-term trends of earnings, interest rates and economic data. Sometimes, the short-term disruptions run the risk of spiraling out of control and altering the long-term narrative. The trade war has the potential to escalate to a long-term conflict, derailing global growth. We aren't at that point yet, and we remain convinced that a resolution is in the best interest of all parties, but we remain vigilant to the risks if the conflict spirals out of control.
US economic data has been solid but somewhat uninspiring, leading some observers to posit we are starting to see effects of the trade dispute. GDP growth estimates from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency forecast a rate of 2.9% in 2019, steady from 2018. Real GDP projections from the World Bank are more pessimistic, suggesting a US slowdown to 2.5% growth. Meanwhile, inflation remains soft with the latest Core Consumer Price Index reading showing a 2.0% annual increase. Unemployment remains near a fifty-year low, but May data showed signs of job growth deceleration as well as a pullback in wage growth. Combined, this data has market participants convinced that the Fed will be cutting interest rates in July, with mid-June Fed Funds futures markets pricing in an 100% likelihood of a July rate cut. Of course, should a trade deal be consummated, interest rate futures markets would turn on a dime and Fed Fund rate cuts would be less assured.
The Fed asserted its independence in December of last year, pushing through a rate hike that exacerbated the selloff in fragile markets. Since then, Fed policymakers have communicated a shift in their policy stance via language that that they will act "as appropriate to sustain the expansion."While the market is counting on at least two rate cuts, presumably in July and September, the Fed will have to be measured in its actions and communications – not cutting rates runs the risk of triggering a stock market temper tantrum, while being overly accommodative could give the impression that the Fed fears an imminent recession is on the horizon.
Predictably, the tariff dispute has also had significant impact on economic growth outside the US as well. The World Bank is projecting Euro Area growth to slip from 2018's rate of 1.8% to just 1.2% in 2019. Emerging Markets are also anticipated to slow down in 2019, from 4.3% to 4.0%, with China, long the engine of the Emerging Markets, sliding from 6.6% to 6.2%. Hopefully, we see the long-awaited resolution to the tariffs before year end, but even if that issue is resolved there are other barriers to global growth. The specter of a disorderly Brexit still hangs over the UK and its European Union neighbors and the uncertainty has only grown with the search for Prime Minister Theresa May's successor. Globally, political disruption is always a potential black swan, and there is an outsized risk this year as general elections are scheduled in countries cumulatively representing nearly 37% of global GDP. Populism, which tends to lean towards anti-trade / anti-immigration, is alive and well in many of these countries.
During 2018's year-end stock market washout, corporate earnings forecasts were slashed as companies began to price in the impact of a prolonged trade war on their forward-looking earnings guidance. In our 2019 Outlook, we raised the possibility that markets could rally sharply if a trade deal was reached or if the earnings revisions were overly pessimistic. While the trade dispute remains unresolved, it does appear that many corporate earnings forecasts were too conservative. In Q4 of 2018, 68% of S&P 500 companies beat earnings forecasts, a step back from Q3's 77%, but not a devastating one. S&P 500 companies picked up the performance in Q1 of 2019, with 73% beating earnings forecasts.
As we also mentioned in our 2019 Outlook, corporate buybacks have been and should continue to be a stabilizing force for US equity markets, with record-setting $806 billion in shares repurchased in 2018. A recent forecast from Goldman Sachs predicted S&P 500 firms will repurchase $940 billion in shares in 2019. Our research also suggested that low interest rates would spur merger and acquisition activity in 2019, and we've seen two blockbuster mergers announced this year, with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) acquiring Celgene (CELG) for cash and stock, and United Technologies Corp (UTC) acquiring Raytheon (RTN) in an all stock deal.
Another point of consideration we raised going into 2019 was that investors should not be overly eager to abandon growth stocks in favor of value. Indeed, the swift selloff that closed out 2018 was an excellent entry point for beat- en-down growth names, which have outperformed value by roughly 4.3%, as measured by the year-to-date performance of the SPDR S&P 500 Growth ETF (SPYG) and the SPDR S&P 500 Value ETF (SPYV).
Thus far, China has endured the brunt of President Trump's ire, while the Eurozone and Japan have been somewhat of an afterthought for the self-described "Tariff Man". A 25% tax on foreign automobiles was threatened, but the mid- May deadline was then postponed for six months. The end-goal is for the US' developed foreign trading partners to buy more agricultural exports and "molecules of freedom", or liquefied natural gas, which the European Union leadership has strongly resisted. President Trump has enjoyed a much more amicable relationship with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, so perhaps he will focus on Japan as the path of least resistance in attempts to score some trade victories as the 2020 election grows ever closer.
The Eurozone has continued to struggle in 2019, with manufacturing activity, as measured by the IHS Markit Purchasing Manager Index (PMI), falling into contraction. This was somewhat offset by an uptick in Services activity, but still paints a concerning picture for the region. Meanwhile, the political situation continues to be messy with the now leaderless Brexit negotiations falling into chaos, and Euro-skeptic Italian leaders pushing back on budget limits.
As was the case in the beginning of the year, we still recommend long-term investors stay the course and remain allocated to developed international equities, primarily due to their relative position in the business cycle compared to domestic equities. Year-to-date, performance in developed international markets has been solid, with the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) up 11.6%. Earnings growth for 2019 is expected to nearly keep pace with that of US markets, at a projected 13.2% year-over-year growth rate, but developed international stocks trade at a PE ratio of just 13.5 compared to approximately 18.4 for US equities and typically pay higher dividends than their US counterparts, which is attractive given the backdrop of declining bond yields.
With the US-China trade negotiation seemingly growing further from resolution, we may first get a US-EU or US-Japan deal, which could give developed markets a further boost.
Emerging Markets have continued to trail developed markets by a significant margin thus far in 2019. The crippling uncertainty of the trade war has resulted in dismal projections for year-over-year earnings growth, with 2019's growth rate now expected to be just 1.8%.This lack of earnings growth has made EM equity slightly more expensive at a projected 12.3 PE ratio, compared to 11.5 when we issued our 2019 Outlook. While we still maintain that EM equity is a crucial and too-often overlooked component for long-term portfolio construction, our short-term tactical view has become much less optimistic on the asset class and in Q2 we exited our EM holdings in the Hanlon tactical models, moving the capital invested in EM to cash for the time being.
Looking forward to the rest of 2019, it is difficult to envision a path to EM equity outperformance that does not include a US-China trade deal. If there is a deal however, the upward move in EM equity may be swift and straight up. The Shanghai Composite Index had recovered by over 33% on trade optimism through April but has since pulled back as the trade rhetoric grew more combative. As we predicted in our 2019 Outlook, the Chinese government has already stepped in with economic stimulus to soften the impact of the tariffs. Year-to-date, the Shanghai Composite has kept pace with the S&P 500, up over 20%.
There is a misconception that bonds are boring, with Treasuries being particularly dull. Yet halfway through 2019, perhaps the most shocking development has been the recent unanticipated plunge in yields and rise in prices for Treasuries. After the 10-Year US Treasury Note interest rate stopped rising at 3.25% late in 2018, yields slipped below 3% and most investors, ourselves included, believed 2.5% to be a logical floor that would keep yields rangebound between 2.5% and 3.0%. In May however, yields slipped below 2.5% and haven't looked back, briefly breaking below 2.0% after the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. As mentioned earlier, multiple Fed Rate cuts have become a very real possibility. The decline in yields caught many forecasters off guard, as shown in the below chart from the Wall Street Journal Survey of Economists.
Heading into 2019, our view on credit was positive, particularly for high yield bonds. As we noted in our 2019 Outlook, our view was that the year-end 2018 widening in spreads was inconsistent with what underlying ratings changes and default activity were telling us. High yield bonds were simply caught up in the selling panic and many investors had overextended themselves in the hunt for yield. Selling begat selling, and high yield bonds were oversold. We advised that this selloff marked an attractive entry point, and theory has played out nicely, with the Bank of America Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index up nearly 10% year-to-date.
Another theme we touched on at the start of the year was the relative attractiveness of Emerging Market debt. We anticipated that the high-flying US dollar would come back to earth at some point, which would make local currency EM bonds the preferred investment vehicle. While the US Dollar continued to appreciate with the prolonged tariff dispute and may continue to do so in the next few months, we think there is a possibility for a pullback in the latter half of the year. Year-to-date, local currency EM Bonds have returned around 7.3% (measured by the Van Eck Vectors JP Morgan Emerging Local Currency Bond ETF, ticker EMLC) while USD-denominated EM Bonds (using iShares JP Morgan USD Emerging Market Bond ETF, ticker EMB) are up 10.5%.
US West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil prices were able to hold support around the $45 price range in late-2018, which we noted was a good estimate for the average break-even price required by US shale drillers. Since that dip, oil recovered all the way back to eclipse $65-per-barrel, cooled off significantly to trade in the low $50s, but is now approaching $60 due to geopolitical events and the Philadelphia refinery explosion. Our preference remains to avoid speculating on the price of oil and instead own the infrastructure, via investment in Master Limited Partnerships, or MLPs. MLPs have been a solid source of income thus far in 2019 and did not draw-down with oil in late May when prices plunged nearly $15-per-barrel. Year-to-date, the JP Morgan Alerian ETN (ticker AMJ), which we utilize in many of our client portfolios, is up 14.3% and currently yields near 7.5%. It is our belief that a US-Chinese trade deal will involve Chinese purchases of US-produced liquified natural gas, and MLPs with exposure to the storage and transport of the commodity would stand to benefit.We have also actively utilized Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in both our Strategic and Tactical portfolios this year. REITs have been the best performing sector, with the SPDR Real Estate Sector ETF (ticker XLRE) up over 21% year-to-date. Aside from being undervalued on a price-to-book ratio at the onset of the year, REITs have surged as Fed rate hikes have come off the table and stand to benefit further as we possibly enter a period of interest rate cuts.
The prevailing theme of our 2019 Outlook was that we would likely see a "reversion to the mean" after 2018's summer surge to new all-time highs resulted in an equally spectacular melt-down in Q4 2018. The overwhelming pessimism faded quickly, but without swinging back into wild euphoria. Rather, the gains we have enjoyed thus far in 2019 have been more of a steady, measured advance. The intraday price movement in the S&P 500 supports this. In 2018, the S&P 500 had 36 trading days with gains greater than 1% and 34 with losses greater than -1%. Roughly halfway through 2019, the counts are just 11 and 7, respectively. We strongly prefer the current trading market to last year's volatility since steady, trending markets are what all investors seek, and this investing environment is more conducive to the tactical investing methods we employ in our tactical models used in some client portfolios.

Basketball officials camp held in Winslow
A basketball officials' camp was held at Winslow High School on Friday in conjunction with a tournament for summer basketball programs on Friday and Saturday. Officials who participated in the camp also officiated games during the tournament which featured both boys' and girls' teams.
Paul Ray Powell was the presenter at the camp. Powell is one of the better known basketball officials in Arizona, having worked a considerable number of state tournament games in his 18 years of officiating. He was a multi-sport athlete at Eloy Santa Cruz High School before playing baseball and football at Arizona State University. He also officiates football and baseball.
Powell played on the ASU Sun Devil team that lost its first NCAA College World Series game only to become the first team ever to come back through the losers' bracket and win the national championship. He went to Arizona State on a football scholarship under the legendary coach Frank Kush.
Powell was one of many Arizona State athletes who played both football and baseball. Others include Danny White, who went to ASU on a baseball scholarship but became a star quarterback at both the college and professional levels. Reggie Jackson, a Hall of Fame quality baseball player during his major league career, came to Arizona State on a football scholarship.
After his collegiate career, Powell played professional baseball and had three years in the major leagues with the Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He played both catcher and in the outfield.
Also attending the clinic was Area Commissioner Gerald Hancock of Holbrook. Hancock has been a basketball, football, baseball and softball official for many years and has served as the area commissioner for at least a decade.
Hancock noted that officials' camps such as this one are very important for officials and that those wishing to officiate state and regional tournaments need to attend in order to qualify. He and Powell stressed that the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) which assigns and regulates officials, is planning to go to a three official system for the finals and semi-finals of 4A and 5A state tournaments. That is the wave of the future and under present conditions, the only way officials will become familiar with that system is to attend camps.
Powell demonstrated both two and three official positioning and mechanics. He also addressed pre-game conferences and game management techniques. There was an informative handout to illustrate how court coverage should be done and how good officials should prepare for any likely game situation.
A $50 registration fee was collected, but Powell donated the money back to the local program. He said that this was his way of giving back to the athletic programs that have been so good to him throughout his career.
Hancock pointed out that the northern part of the state has a great need for officials and that the need will continue to grow. He said that he would encourage anyone wishing to get into officiating to contact him or the AIA and to attend camps and clinics such as this one.
The camp was organized by Winslow official B.J. Little and attended by officials from Holbrook, Chinle and Window Rock as well as Winslow and other locales.
Participants were encouraged to ask questions and to share "war stories" of their own officiating experiences. Every official has likely run into situations that they learned from, either by handling it well or making a mistake they will never forget. Powell said that if it happened once, the chances are it will happen again. It may not be the same people involved, but something similar is more than just possible. It is likely.
Hancock said that a similar camp would be held for football officials in late August. That camp will likely be in conjunction with the pre-season scrimmages in the Blue Ridge Show Low area.

ARLINGTON (105.3 The Fan) – The 2018 NFL Draft features 32 teams trying to "hit the lottery," in a sense. And starting today, fans of the Dallas Cowboys and beyond can get their open free ticket lottery to attend the event being held at AT&T Stadium this April.
Fans interested in attending this year's draft should visit NFL.com/FanMobilePass to register for an opportunity to win free tickets for themselves and a guest to access seating inside AT&T Stadium to watch the event live. … in addition, of course, to listening to the coverage of the NFL Draft on the Cowboys Station, 105.3 The Fan.
The Cowboys' turn hosting the NFL draft will be the first time the event has been hosted at an NFL stadium.
By registering for a chance to win free tickets inside the stadium, fans will have access to the NFL Draft Experience presented by Oikos Triple Zero, which spans the size of 26 football fields on the building's outdoor plazas. The outdoor event allows fans the opportunity to participate in football drills, enjoy interactive exhibits and autograph sessions, and take pictures with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Registration for a chance to win free tickets inside the stadium ends on March 14. Any fans that register after that date can still register to attend the NFL Draft Experience and will have a chance to win standby tickets inside the stadium.
Fan Mobile Pass also provides fans attending the NFL Draft Experience with the chance to receive standby theater tickets – as seats become available – by checking-in on Thursday for Round 1, Friday for Rounds 2-3, and Saturday for Rounds 4-7.
The draft has grown into a major sporting event, with a record-breaking 250,000 fans attending the 2017 NFL Draft in Philadelphia. Fans may now register for Fan Mobile Pass at NFL.com/FanMobilePass to be part of what might be yet another record-breaker.
Important dates:
- February 20: Fans may now register for Fan Mobile Pass at NFL.com/FanMobilePass. By registering, fans will have access to NFL Draft Experience presented by Oikos Triple Zero, as well as the chance to win a free ticket for themselves and a guest to access seating inside the NFL Draft Theater.

Elizabeth Warren repeatedly came under attack during Tuesday's Democratic presidential debate as rivals accused the Massachusetts senator of ducking questions about the cost of Medicare For All and her signature "wealth tax" plan in an attempt to derail her rising campaign.
The pile-on reinforced her new status as a frontrunner in the contest to take on President Donald Trump next year.
With first state primaries rapidly approaching, her many challengers have dwindling opportunities to emerge as powerful alternatives to the progressive agenda she is championing.
The night's confrontations were mostly fought on familiar terrain for the Democrats, who have spent months sparring over the future of health care with former vice president Joe Biden and other moderates pressing for a measured approach while Ms Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders call for a dramatic, government-funded overhaul of the insurance market.
I just stepped off the #DemDebate stage after laying out the big, structural change our grassroots movement is going to make together.
Will you chip in $3 or whatever you can right now to keep up our momentum? https://t.co/f9usbi5w1z
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) October 16, 2019
Still, unlike Mr Sanders, Ms Warren refused to say whether she would raise taxes on the middle class to pay for a Medicare For All universal health insurance plan — a stance that's increasingly difficult to maintain given her more prominent status.
Her rivals seized on the opportunity to pounce.
"I appreciate Elizabeth's work but, again, the difference between a plan and a pipe dream is something you can actually get done," said Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar.
Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, added: "We heard it tonight. A 'yes' or 'no' question that didn't get a 'yes' or 'no' answer."
Ms Warren insisted that she has "made clear what my principles are here", arguing that lower premiums would mean that overall costs would go down for most Americans.
California Senator Kamala Harris tried to get in on the action on another subject, scolding Ms Warren for not echoing her calls for Twitter to suspend Mr Trump's account.
Ms Warren responded: "I don't just want to push Trump off of Twitter. I want to push him out of the White House."
Featuring a dozen candidates, the debate sponsored by CNN and The New York Times was the largest in modern history.
It was the first time the White House hopefuls gathered in a little more than a month.
In that time, the political landscape has changed with Mr Trump facing an impeachment inquiry in the House centred on his quest to get Ukraine to dig up unflattering details about Mr Biden, another front-runner among the Democrats hoping to unseat the president.
The debate also served as Mr Sanders' return to the campaign trail following a heart attack earlier this month.
The Vermont senator failed to show all the fire of previous debates but made his points with force.
He was applauded when he thanked supporters and rivals for their good wishes and declared: "I'm feeling great."
There is no job I would undertake with more passion than bringing people together around an agenda that works for every person in this country, rather than just the 1% and corporate elite. #DemDebate
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) October 16, 2019
The debate touched on foreign policy, too, a subject that has dominated the news in recent weeks as Mr Trump said he was withdrawing most US forces from Syria and then Turkey invaded the northern part of the country to attack Kurdish fighters.
Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard, who served in Iraq with the Army, questioned the need for US involvement in "regime change" conflicts in the Middle East.
That prompted Mr Buttigieg, himself a veteran, to respond: "What we are doing or what we were doing in Syria was keeping our word."
"I would have a hard time today looking an Afghan civilian or soldier in the eye after what just happened over there," said Mr Buttigieg, who served in Afghanistan.
"It is undermining the honour of our soldiers. You take away the honour of our soldiers, you might as well go after their body armour next."
Mr Biden has faced the sharpest criticism from rivals in previous debates.
I just stepped off the #DemDebate stage, where I laid out my bold vision for the country and how I'll deliver real progress for working families.
If you liked what you heard tonight, help us keep our momentum going by pitching in: https://t.co/s5nd6p8r7o
— Joe Biden (Text Join to 30330) (@JoeBiden) October 16, 2019
But fewer candidates engaged with him on Tuesday as they trained their focus on Ms Warren.
Still, he struggled to fully explain why his newly promised ethics plan to prevent conflicts of interest involving his relatives was not applied to his son Hunter when he was hired in 2014 as a director for a Ukrainian energy company.
That relationship has become a focal point of Mr Trump's push for a Ukrainian government probe of the Bidens — an effort that was a major factor leading to the House impeachment inquiry.
On Sunday, Mr Biden had vowed that "no one in my family will have an office in the White House, will sit in on meetings as if they are a Cabinet member, will in fact have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country".
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked: "If it's not OK for a president's family to be involved in foreign businesses, why was it OK for your son when you were vice president?"
Mr Biden faltered before offering: "My son did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong."
Towards the end, Mr Biden was more confident when he accused Ms Warren and Mr Sanders of "being vague" on the true costs of Medicare For All.
"Tell people what it's going to cost, how you're going to do it and why you're going to do it," he said.
Mr Sanders responded by criticising the former vice president's record, including his support for what Mr Sanders called the "disastrous war in Iraq".
Ms Warren also accuse Ms Biden of not doing enough as vice president to empower a consumer financial protection agency she helped set up in the wake of the national financial crisis.
"I went on the floor and got you votes," Mr Biden responded, waving his finger at Ms Warren.
Ms Warren answered that she was "deeply grateful" that then-president Barack Obama supported her efforts, implying that Mr Biden didn't help.
She swatted back at criticism of her sweeping plan to tax wealth Americans to pay for her domestic agenda.
Ms Klobuchar said she wanted to provide a "reality check" on the issue while former Texas Representative Beto O'Rourke suggested it was "punitive".
Ms Warren framed the measure as part of the ambitious agenda she is pitching to fundamentally reshape the economic and political system.
"Look, I understand that this is hard, but I think as Democrats we are going to succeed when we dream big and fight hard, not when we dream small and quit before we get started," Ms Warren answered.
Though Ms Warren fielded much of the criticism, other rivalries emerged.
Mr O'Rourke and Mr Buttigieg argued about gun control, with the mayor saying the Texan himself was not even sure how the mandatory federal buyback of assault weapons he has called for would work.
That touched off a stretch where both candidates talked over one another.
At one point, Mr Buttigieg told Mr O'Rourke: "I don't need lessons from you on courage, political or personal."
Also debating in Ohio were New York entrepreneur Andrew Yang, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, former Obama housing chief Julian Castro and billionaire activist Tom Steyer.

Importance of Martyr in Islam
Hadith: It has been narrated on the authority of Masruq R.A who said: We asked 'Abdullah bin Masood about the Quranic verse:
"Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they are alive, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord…" (Chapter 3: Verse 169).
He said: We asked the meaning of the verse from the Holy Prophet P.B.U.H who said:
The souls of the martyrs live in the bodies of green birds who have their nests in chandeliers hung from the throne of the Almighty. They eat the fruits of Paradise from wherever they like and then nestle in these chandeliers.
Once their Lord cast a glance at them and said: Do you want anything? They said: What more shall we desire? We eat the fruit of Paradise from wherever we like. Their Lord asked them the same question thrice. When they saw that they will continue to be asked and not left (without answering the question). They said: O Lord, we wish that Thou mayest return our souls to our bodies so that we may be slain in the way once again. When He (Allah) saw that they had no need, they were left (to their joy in heaven).
Sahih Muslim, Hadith 4885
The Prophet P.B.U.H said, Nobody who enters Paradise likes to go back to the world even if he got everything on the earth, except a Martyr, who wishes to return to the world so that he may be martyred ten times because of the dignity he receives (from ALLAH).
Sahih Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 52, No. 72

With ingredients listed like meat meal, poultry meal, ground beet pulp, fish meal, spirulina, brewers dried yeast and a host of listed essential nutrients, it appears to be a diet to silence all high protein diet. Do I dare feed Shama chicks on it.... appears a good idea at the moment, but I shall refrain from it and test it on a molting adult Shama. This Shama has has a form that yo-yo up and down - mostly down :D
But has a very good song if he so chooses to sing ;)
If this diet does something for him, then I can venture further with it. If it doesn't.... all goes to the crow hahaha!

When Harry Met Meghan: Pals Tell All On Prince's Obsession With The American Actress
The royal described Markle as his 'ideal woman,' two years before their first date.
Meghan Markle shocked the world when she announced her engagement to Prince Harry this November.
While her estranged sister claimed Meghan had always dreamt of marrying a royal, it seems Harry was the one who first caught interest in the gorgeous star.
In REELZ's new episode, When Harry Met Meghan: A Royal Romance, friends of the former Suits star open up about how her first meeting with her royal fiancé came about. Apparently, the Prince described his soon-to-be bride as his "ideal woman," long before their first date.
"He had a crush on Rachel Zane [Meghan's character in Suits] two years before he met Meghan Markle," says royal biographer Katie Nicholl in the show teaser. "The reason I know that is because I was having drinks with one of his friends and she told me she'd been on a night out with Prince Harry. He was single at the time. She said to him 'so, you know Harry, who's your ideal girl?' and he said 'Meghan Markle, from Suits.'"
When Harry Met Meghan: A Royal Romance airs Monday December 18 at 9ET/PT on REELZ.

You can still find secluded anchorages and unspoiled snorkeling (published March 2013)
The British Virgin Islands, because of their near perfect sailing and cruising features, have become a hub for chartering and a winter getaway for those unfortunates trapped in the frosty north. This has resulted in the need for some management of the area (a good thing), but the resulting mooring fields have made it a bit difficult to find those secluded anchorages that sparked the attraction to these great cruising grounds in the first place. And, the moorings are usually strategically placed in the best anchoring spots.
We have had the pleasure of spending many months cruising here recently. That said, this is not a charter itinerary with the usual suspects—Willy T, Trellis Bay on a full moon, the Baths, Foxy's, Soggy Dollar, and Bitter End—rather, here are some special spots off the beaten track that we enjoy. To us, the beauty of the B.V.I.s is the abundance of anchorages just short sails apart, with great swimming, snorkeling, beachcombing and hiking, and, with luck, you will share the anchorages with only two or three others or even have them to yourself.
Living aboard Saralane, our elderly C&C 40, we do have the urge to stretch our legs and get the blood pumping, so hiking has become a pleasant source of exercise for us. Fortunately, many of the islands have excellent hiking trails so we include some of our favorites here as well.
Norman Island, home of the infamous Willie T, is often the first anchorage of a cruise. The Bight is full of convenient moorings but we prefer Benure's Bay to the east. It is rather deep but offers much more protection from the wind and swell than it may seem on the chart. We have enjoyed many a night anchored with a stern line to a tree ashore as the wind tends to loop over the hill and blow onshore close to the beach. The beach is stony, but just behind it is access to an old track that is perfect for hiking. The mostly overgrown roads crisscross the island and are a perfect way to see the island and get some exercise in the process.
Just to the north, Peter Island's Little Harbor is a deep bight at the western end that is a favorite of off duty charter boat crews and is being more recognized by cruisers as a cozy spot. Mooring stern to the rocky shore is the standard approach. Like Benure's Bay, there is no palm lined sandy beach but the snorkeling is excellent in clear water.
Farther east is Great Harbor, a large and deep bay, so one has to put out plenty of chain or tuck in close along the eastern shore. Watch out for being back winded as the wind here can loop over the hills. There are a few moorings along the southern shore, but it is the hiking that brings us to this spot, which is fairly close to the Peter Island Resort. There, a very serious road system has been created over the years, which is also perfect for a hike. The hike takes a good stretch up the ridge then up and down to the southern tip known as the "Sunset Loop" where the wind turbines are. All together, the route is about four miles long with lots of elevation changes and several strategically placed water coolers and benches.
Another out of the way anchorage on the south side of Peter Island is Key Cay where you will find good snorkeling, particularly on the windward side of the cay. The bottom is mostly rocky but there are some sandy spots to set the hook in. The wind sweeps through the low land between the main island and Key Cay, which keeps the anchorage cool and bug free.
Full moon parties at Trellis Bay and Pusser's at Marina Cay are popular but we prefer heading up along the western shore of Camanoe Island to Lee Bay. As long as a northerly swell isn't running, this is a very secure anchorage that shoals gently up to the stony beach. The holding here is good in sand. A nice breeze sweeps across the low area behind the beach and there are high hills on either side. There is very interesting snorkeling along the north shore where huge slabs of rock have fallen into the sea. I consider this a north shore anchorage and not a good place to be when a north swell is running.
Also on the north shore is Brewer's Bay, a deep and picturesque anchorage. Just around the corner from Cane Garden Bay, you will likely find yourself the only boat in the harbor. There is a lovely palm lined beach and numerous tasteful homes nestled in the hillsides. Many charter companies consider Brewer's off limits during the winter season due to the swell factor.
Virgin Gorda is well off the beaten path and perhaps our favorite. It seems most folks head to the Baths for the day, then sail to North Sound for excellent protection and popular bars and restaurants. Swell permitting, Savannah Bay and Mountain Point along the western shore are terrific anchorages. Again, some charter companies have policies that make these bays off limits.
Savannah Bay is a little tricky to enter but the cruising guides are accurate and our experience has been that it is less daunting than the guides indicate. The snorkeling is excellent and the beaches are some of the best in the B.V.I. Pond Bay (under the hillside development) is our favorite here, with pretty reefs and a great beach. Just make sure to heed the guides and enter and exit the bays from the Blowing Point (south) end of the bay.
A bit farther north, inside Mountain Point and north of the Nail Bay development is a lovely sandy anchorage at Long Bay (not to be confused with Long Bay, Tortola or Long Bay, Beef Island). Snorkeling is superb and a long tongue of sand extends to the shore where one can get close enough to run a stern line to the beach. The wind loops over the mountain and at anchor you may be blown shoreward, so anchoring stern-to works well. Long Bay is becoming well known as a good settled-weather anchorage and there is plenty of room for three or four boats.
Gorda Sound is home to several watering holes and there is an abundance of moorings to be had at Leverick Bay, The Bitter End and Saba Rock. However, Eustatia Sound is a fine alternative just around the corner. There is a nice anchorage west of Eustatia Island and also off of the beach on the northeast side of Prickley Pear Island. This is one of the nicest beaches in the area. As with any of the north-exposed anchorages, this will get rolly when the north swell comes in. These swells are generally well forecasted and one can easily slip back into the protection of North Sound in advance of a swell.We enjoy spending time here to take advantage of the numerous hiking trails at Bitter End and Biras Creek. Any one of the trails will reward you with spectacular panoramas of the surrounding waters.
Secluded anchorages are not always easy to come by, especially in the B.V.I., but with a little time spent off the well-worn path you will come to realize they are some of the most rewarding places to drop the hook and take a stroll.

What should I say as to why I want every Sunday off?
I've put fully flexible as my availability on work but I now want every Sunday off but if they ask why I want to change to having Sunday off what reason should I give to my manager?
13 Answers
- mtwaitesLv 79 months agoFavourite answer
How long have you been on your job? If you are still doing your probationary period, I would wait until you were done your probationary period, and then when they brought up your availability this would be when you would be able to negotiate the days that you're willing to work. If you're past the probationary period, then you can discuss with your boss about it. But be prepared that they may say no if there are other people that have higher seniority then you.
- Anonymous9 months ago
Say you have found your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and need to spend all Sunday worshiping and praising him and God.
- Casey YLv 79 months ago
Why do you suddenly want every Sunday off? What has changed?
If you submitted an application saying fully flexible, then say 14% of the time you said, you are actually unavailable...should they believe that? What happens when you say you wont work saturdays...how about wednesdays? I wouldnt hire you, but might have considered you if you were honest upfront.
- Beverly SLv 79 months ago
If they are open on Sunday you won't get every Sunday off. Other employees that have been there longer will get that option first. You probably won't be hired if you say you can't/won't work Sundays.

- AlexLv 69 months ago
Do you WANT Sundays off, or do you NEED Sundays off? If you just want them off, then simply ask and offer no explanation why. If they say no, then see if they can do a compromise with having rotating Sundays off. Your boss can either accommodate you or he/she can't. But you won't know unless you ask.
If you NEED them off, then try the same thing. But keep in mind that you may find yourself having to find a different job or having hours cut, as you were hired with the expectation of a certain availability that you no longer have.
- 9 months ago
If the place needs people to work on weekends, then you should be available to work on them. If you don't have an open availability, your hours can get cut or you can get fired. If you have to do that, helping out taking care of an elderly relative...
- Anonymous9 months ago
You'll get fired. In retail, weekends and nights are the busy times. If you don't want to work, you're out.
- JudyLv 79 months ago
If your job is in retail, fast food or other restaurants, expect to be fired. They wouldn't have hired you if you said you wouldn't work on Sundays.
- mokrieLv 79 months ago
Too late. You already put fully flexible in writing.
- Donnie PorkoLv 79 months ago
If god took the 7th day off, then you shouldn't work harder than god.

Random thoughts 1 comments
(P.S: Sorry for any disturbances the advertisements above may have caused you)
Not in the groove to be verbose today so I thought a good idea would be to list down some thoughts that drive my investment/trading approach, and indeed may be relevant to my life in general. Rather random, pardon me. Food for thought.
10. It is how much you read that determines how much you earn.
9. " There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries "
(from Julius Caesar, Shakespeare)
8. Always move to minimise the opportunity cost.
7. Do not seek to minimise risk, but rather, to be comfortable with it.
6. Set audacious targets; these become your margin of safety.
5. Newton's First Law: The Law of Inertia.
4. Be arrogant when you buy; be humble when you hold; develop amnesia once you sell.
3. Know the buyers; understand the sellers; watch the holders.
2. Different brushes, different strokes; expand your toolbox and use the correct tool.
1. Do not do unto others what you will not want others to do unto you.

LOS ANGELES >> Ryker Kesler skated directly at Carey Price in the NHL Shootout, the final event of the six-event Skills Competition on Saturday at Staples Center. Kesler drifted to his right, waited for Price to move with him and then slipped the puck between the goaltender's legs and into the back of the net.
Kesler fell to the ice, leaped to his skates and began pumping his arms in celebration.
Wait, who in the heck is Ryker Kesler, you ask?
Well, he is the 6-year-old son of Ryan Kesler, the Ducks' All-Star center, and he stole the show on the eve of the All-Star Game while wearing an enemy jersey on foreign ice, a place where Kings fans never hold back their feelings for their Southern California rivals.
Ryan Kesler planned to send Ryker in his place and it went better than either could have expected. Ryan Kesler was booed heavily when he was introduced before the event, reveling in it and blowing kisses to the crowd. Ryker got nothing but cheers from the fans, however.
"I was nervous," Ryan Kesler would later say. "I was more nervous than him. … Amazing. It was pretty special. It was the perfect ending."
Asked about Ryker's celebration, Ryan said, "I think I taught you that, right?"
"Yeah," Ryker said, smiling while standing with his dad in a crowded dressing room.
The Atlantic Division defeated the Keslers' Pacific Division in the shootout 4-1 and earned the right to pick its opponent for Sunday's 3-on-3 semifinal tournament. The Atlantic selected to play the Metropolitan in the second 20-minute semifinal. The defending champion Pacific will face the Central in the first semi.
The winners then face off in the third period.
Hardest shot
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Shea Weber went into the event as the defending champion, winning on home ice last season while playing with the Nashville Predators. There was some that thought that he could break the all-time record of 108.8 mph by Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara.
Weber won, but he didn't come close to Chara's mark, posting a speed of 102.8 mph on a slap shot launched from a distance of 30 feet directly in front of the net. Winnipeg Jets rookie Patrik Laine was second with a speed of 101.7. Kings defenseman Drew Doughty's fastest shot was 94.6 mph.
Each shooter had two attempts.
"The first one, I felt like I hit good," Weber said. "I thought it would be a little bit harder. I was saving more for the second shot because I was sitting around for two hours. I kind of wanted to work my way up. And then I missed the second one. I hit it too far behind the puck and kind of missed it."
Skills challenge relay
This timed relay event involved seven skaters and one goalie from each of the teams, and was probably the least well-received by an announced sellout crowd of more than 18,000. One-timed shooting, accuracy passing, puck control and stick-handling were the disciplines involved.
The Metropolitan Division, including Washington's Alexander Ovechkin and Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby, posted a winning time of 1 minute, 21.70 seconds. The Atlantic was second in 1:39.69, the Central was third in 1:44.03 and the Pacific was fourth in 2:02.12.
Joe Pavelski of the Sharks and Kesler scored on their first tries on their one-timers, getting the Pacific off to a good start. Jeff Carter of the Kings misfired on his first two tries before hitting the net and then Doughty struggled to find the mark in the passing portion.
Faster skater
Connor McDavid's blinding speed pops up often in nightly highlight shows and Edmonton's 20-year-old star backed up the perception that he is the NHL's fastest skater as he had the quickest time out of the eight participants.
McDavid beat another fleet skater, Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon, in his head-to-head race as he covered the rink layout in 13.020 seconds to MacKinnon's 13.620.
"He's unbelievable fast," McDavid said. "I was really nervous. I was a little worried. I thought he was going to fly. Definitely a great skater in his own way."
Said MacKinnon, joking he got caught sleeping: "Not a bad guy to lose to."
McDavid's best time was better than the record of 13.172 seconds set by Detroit's Dylan Larkin last year. It won't be recognized as such because McDavid didn't do it in the full lap at the end after beating MacKinnon, with his final skate clocking in at 13.310.
Already, there was a "controversy" brewing because McDavid began from a full stop while Larkin was able to begin his start already in motion.
"It'd be nice to see if you got a running start like last time," McDavid said. "Would that shave off .2 seconds? I'm not too sure."
Four line challenge
Mike Smith doesn't have All-Star numbers as the goalie for struggling Arizona. Smith is 11-13-5 with a 2.85 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage but he is in the game as the Coyotes' representative.
As one of the NHL's best handlers of the puck among netminders, Smith validated his appearance by shooting the puck the length of the ice from his own net into a tight opening at the opposing end.
"I knew it had a chance but I didn't know it was going to curl in like that," Smith said. "I think I was just as surprised as Bo Horvat was. Looking over at him was a pretty cool moment."
Smith said he didn't put any extra English on his shot and that "it was more fluke than anything." But the shot got a huge ovation at Staples Center, where he's normally a visiting goalie to be jeered.
"Yeah, I got booed at the start and then they came around and cheered for me at the end," Smith said. "It's all good. I'm not sure I'm here for my goal scoring but it was a cool moment and probably one I'll cherish for a long time."
Accuracy shooting
Toronto's Auston Matthews showed off his skills by clearly hitting the four targets on each corner of the net in five tries but Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby would better him by doing it faster in 10.730 seconds to 12.280 seconds.
"He made me look bad there," Matthews said. "I was feeling good about myself after and then he goes and does that. That's why he's the best player in the world."
Matthews said he got pinpoint passes from Ottawa's Erik Karksson on his one-time shots but found the event more challenging than it originally looked.
"It's smaller than it seems," Matthews said of the targets. "It's tough just going right into it, not really warming up or anything. Of course, you're pretty nervous beforehand anyways. I think I tuned it pretty well."

ROI-Taking Measure Of Your Marketing Efforts
It's the question that strikes fear into the heart of the most seasoned marketing manager: "What was the return on investment (ROI) for this program (e.g., email blast, trade show, social media campaign, etc.)? It's a legitimate question because company executives and the people to whom they answer are naturally concerned with the "bottom line" and want to make sure that marketing expenditures are netting results. However, it can also be a challenging and complicated query. Determining the exact contribution any given marketing program has on revenue growth or profits is akin to defining happiness—it depends on to whom you are talking and what their priorities are!
Yet, difficult or not, measuring your marketing efforts is necessary and, thankfully, not impossible.

Compared to other suppliers', we can offer custom made solution to meet each individual's needs even for one piece.

In case this happens, please remove everything below your desk first. Then you may press the up and down buttons together for 30 seconds until the desk lowers to the bottom and you hear 2 beep sounds and it will be back to normal. For older models, please press the down button for 30 seconds and things will be back to order. For videos guidance, please click here or here if you have the older handset.
