Discipline Referrals and Access to Secondary Level Support in Elementary and Middle Schools: Patterns across African-American, Hispanic-American, and White Students
Vincent, Claudia G., Tobin, Tary J., Hawken, Leanne S., Frank, Jennifer L., Education & Treatment of Children
Given documented racial/ethnic disproportionality in disciplinary referrals and strong recommendations to base provision of secondary level supports on data, we explored whether students from various racial/ethnic groups have equitable access to secondary supports. We disaggregated discipline data from 155 elementary and 46 middle schools by student race/ethnicity and behavioral risk level to assess the extent to which different racial/ethnic groups were disproportionately represented among students at each risk level and students receiving secondary support. Outcomes indicated that Hispanic-American and White students were underrepresented among students with multiple disciplinary referrals, while African-American students were over-represented. African-American students were over-represented among students receiving secondary support in elementary schools but were less likely to receive this support in middle schools. Across all schools, number of referrals as well as race/ethnicity emerged as statistically significant predictors of access to secondary level support. Limitations to the current investigation and recommendations for future research are provided.
It has become a well-known fact that students from non-White backgrounds, especially African-American and Hispanic-American students, experience poorer discipline and academic outcomes in the United States public school system than their White peers. For African-American students, research has documented disproportionately high numbers of office discipline referrals (Bradshaw, Mitchell, O'Brennan, & Leaf, 2010; Kaufman et al., 2010; Skiba, et al., 2011; Skiba, Peterson, & Williams, 1997; Vincent, Tobin, Swain-Bradway, & May, 2011), comparatively harsher punishments for behavioral violations (Glackman et al., 1978; Gregory, 1995; Shaw & Braden, 1990; Skiba, Michael, Nardo & Peterson, 2002; Skiba & Peterson, 2000), and increased odds for being suspended Or expelled (KewelRamani, Gilbertson, Fox, & Provasnik, 2007; Krezmien, Leone, & Achilles, 2006; Wallace, Goodkind, Wallace, & Bachman, 2008). These behavioral outcomes are accompanied by comparatively lower reading and math achievement (Lee, 2000; Lee, Grigg, & Donahue, 2007) and overidentification for special education services (Coutinho & Oswald, 2000; Harry & Klingner, 2006; Waitoller, Artiles, & Cheney, 2010; Zhang, Katsiyannis, & Herbst, 2004). For Hispanic-American students, research has documented disproportionately high rates of suspension beginning in middle school (Skiba et al., 2011), comparatively high levels of anxiety and depression (Fletcher, 2008; McLaughlin, Hilt, & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2007; Varela, Sanchez-Sosa, Biggs, & Luis, 2008; Zayas, Lester, Cabassa, & Fortuna, 2005), and high drop-out rates (Stillwell, 2010). Similar to African-American students, Hispanic-American students lag far behind their White peers in reading and math at the elementary, middle, and high school level (Aud, Fox, & KewalRamani, 2010).
While documentations of racially disproportionate educational outcomes abound, our understanding of why these outcomes occur and what might change them remains limited. General guidelines to redress racial inequity in educational outcomes include culturally responsive evidence-based behavior support delivered within a response to intervention (RtI) framework as a vehicle to increase students' time engaged with academic instruction (Cartledge, Singh, & Gibson, 2008; Klingner et al., 2005; Skiba et al., 2008). The key recommendations for culturally responsive delivery of evidence-based behavior support within an RtI framework are (a) availability of support structures of varying intensity; (b) continuous data collection for screening, diagnostic, and progress monitoring purposes; (c) interpretation of those data to determine a student's responsiveness to existing support mechanisms; (d) open discussions of race in data interpretations; (e) early and culturally specific intervention in the form of additional support for students who are at risk of behavioral failure; and (f) family involvement (Gresham, Lane, & Lambros, 2000; Hawken, Vincent, & Schumann, 2008; Lane, Kalberg, & Menzies, 2009; Schumann & Burrow-Sanchez, 2010; Skiba et al. …

KUALA LUMPUR — May 10, 2018: The Pakatan Harapan presidential council will meet tomorrow to discuss the formation of the country's new Cabinet.
At a press conference after being sworn in as the country's seventh prime minister and the world's oldest elected PM at 92 years, Bernama reported that Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad had this to say: "Tomorrow is a holiday. But I will not take any holiday. Although I'm the prime minister, I'm bound to consider the views of the component parties… how we divide the number of ministers between us.
"There are quite a number of things we need to do… some are officially required and some are on policy decisions. So it will be a very busy time."
Mahathir led the four-member coalition of PPBM, PKR, DAP and Amanah on Wednesday to a stunning victory in the 14th general elections, dethroning Barisan Nasional which had ruled the country since independence in 1957.
He further mentioned that Pakatan would review previous charges on political leaders, as some could have been politically motivated and also review laws that are oppressive and unfair.
Another indication of what's to come was when Mahathir vowed that the heads of certain government departments will fall.
"The heads of certain departments must fall. We find that some people are aiding and abetting the former prime minister who was described by the world as kleptocrat."
Mahathir was officially sworn in before Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V at Istana Negara at 9.57pm.

LIFESTYLE NEWS - There are over 3 000 types of tea in existence, and they come with a variety of benefits for all sorts of illnesses and conditions.
Having a variety of teas in your home can help a great deal with headaches, stomach problems, weight loss and many other daily woes.
Here are eight teas that you can keep at home in case any of these ailments creep up on you:
1. When you have flu, a headache or congestion, drink ginger tea
Ginger tea is a trusted, safe and relatively cheap way to fight a migraine, upset stomach or flu symptoms. You can brew it with fresh ginger, hot water, lemon and honey or buy the pre-packed ginger tea sachets. Make ginger tea your main drink in winter and you won't regret the benefits.
2. For bad breath drink black or green tea
For a DIY cure for bad breath, drink black or green tea. Black tea helps control the plaque and bacteria that can cause bad breath. Green tea contains antibacterial properties that fight off the natural occurring germs in your mouth, keeping your breath fresh.
3. For anxiety and general jitters, drink passion flower tea
Passionflower, also called passiflora incarnate, is a herbal supplement used historically in treating anxiety, insomnia, seizures and hysteria. Drink the tea infused and it will help you with those overwhelming jitters.
4. When the allergies strike, drink nettle tea
Nettle leaves are very useful in reducing the symptoms of hay fever by acting as an anti-inflammatory. So if you suffer from seasonal allergies, it's best to keep some nettle tea at home and drink it regularly to keep the allergies at bay.
5. If you're detoxing or trying to lose weight, green tea is the one
Nothing is worse than 3am cravings when you are trying to lose weight or detox your system. Green tea is known for properties that help keep you hydrated and protect against chronic disease. It's the weight loss choice as long as you do not over-do it. Drinking 3-6 cups a day could impair your nutrient absorption.
6. Having trouble sleeping? Try valerian tea
The valerian root is a strong sedative and has been used to help people fall asleep. Drink some valerian tea before you go to bed and you're guaranteed a good night's sleep.
7. Suffering from an upset stomach? Drink peppermint tea
Peppermint tea is not called "the stomach healer" for nothing. It is known to soothe many gastrointestinal ailments such as stomach aches, stomach pains, stomach cramps, heartburn, gas/flatulence, indigestion and diarrhoea. It promotes healthy digestion and is highly recommended.
8. Want to burn calories faster? Try Oolong tea
Oolong tea is great for weight loss and helping you burn calories faster. The Chinese have long believed that oolong tea is beneficial in reducing and maintaining weight. In a study in the 1980s, they found that participants burned more calories in a six week period drinking oolong tea than caffeinated water.

Today sees five years since the terrorist attacks on Madrid but the occasion will not be marked with any special event in the Spanish capital, apart from an evening concert at which no one from the Spanish government will attend. Members of the Spanish Socialist party who are part of the autonomous government of Madrid have refused to attend the remembrance event being led today by the Madrid president Esperanza Aguirre; Aguirre, of the Partido Popular, was being investigated for charges of internal espionage, but that investigation has been closed down. In an interview with Pilar Manjón (article in Castilian), the president of the 11-M Affected by Terrorists Association, in El País today, she says that the victims of the Al-Qaeda bombing have moved into the background and that there are some who struggle to find the necessary means to buy food. She argues that the Spanish legislation doesn't understand how jihadists operate and that the country needs a special anti-terrorist area to deal with it as there already is for ETA.
Estate agents in Barcelona estimate that between 10 and 15 percent of the city's commercial venues are currently for rent or traspaso, as the financial crisis affects businesses in all neighbourhoods. On Avinguda Diagonal between Plaça Francesc Macià and Passeig de Gràcia, there has been a growth in the number of For Rent signs on shops and offices there in the past two months, despite this being a prime commercial areas in Barcelona - however, the areas that are most affected are the less important business areas. Many of those who have closed their doors, had only started their operations in the last five years or so. The high rents associated with the boom in the real estate sector of the past have in many cases been the undoing of many of these small- and medium-sized organisations.
Barcelona's bike rental service, Bicing, is celebrating two years since it began and users are being encouraged to post their thoughts about how it works on a blog on their website. It's accompanied by a video showing users commenting about what they think of the service, both positive and negative.

In automotive engineering, the master cylinder is a control device that converts non-hydraulic pressure (commonly from a driver's foot) into hydraulic pressure. This device controls slave cylinders located at the other end of the hydraulic system.
As piston(s) move along the bore of the master cylinder, this movement is transferred through the hydraulic fluid, to result in a movement of the slave cylinder(s). The hydraulic pressure created by moving a piston (inside the bore of the master cylinder) toward the slave cylinder(s) compresses the fluid evenly, but by varying the comparative surface-area of the master cylinder and/or each slave cylinder, one can vary the amount of force and displacement applied to each slave cylinder, relative to the amount of force and displacement applied to the master cylinder.

If you are looking for something a little different from your slot machines these days, then here's a new one for you – slot machines based on the songs and image of Dolly Parton, the enormously famous American singer, whose blonde locks and other assets have become just about iconic. Together with IGT (International Gaming Technology, of course) she has been personally involved in putting the games together, so you can expect real quality from them when you play.
There are set to be three different types, covering both video slot and five reel spinning games, each with a slightly different theme. One is the Dolly Parton Video Slots, another is Two Doors Down, and the third and final is the Nine To Five Spinning Reels machine. No prizes for guessing which songs you will find featured in them! You will be able to select songs at certain points as if you were using a jukebox, as well as accessing themed bonus rounds, front row concert experiences, and the sensation of having Dolly herself cheer you along while you play.
"As you know, I love doing lots of different things and this is the most different thing that I've done so far," she said of the machines. "I'm very excited to be working with IGT with my very own video slot machines and five reel spinning reel games. Wanna play? Well, come on!" We can expect to see these machines for the first time at the Global Gaming Expo, also known as G2E, which takes place in Las Vegas from October 2nd to 4th. Executive vice president of Global Sales at IGT, Eric Tom, had this to say on the event: "IGT's unrivaled game experiences and localized content has made our games the most sought after on casino floors today. At G2E, our new portfolio will drive unmatched performance for our casino customers. From the excitement of Dolly Parton Slots and the classic action of our new spinning reel and video slot titles to revolutionary game play of our skill-based titles and 3D Multi Layer Display (MLD) technology, we will premiere the fan favorites of the future."
There is no word yet as to whether this new design will be appearing in online casinos, but you can bet one of those wily developers out there will come up with something similar enough if that is not the case.

Loose Leaf Collection Program
Latest Leaf Collection Update
Crews from the Department of Public Works have completed leaf collection in Sections 1 through 10. Another full scale leaf collection in the City of Jackson is planned for spring 2020. No official start date has been selected. The City will inform residents when the program is starting again.
About Leaf Collection
Department of Public Works (DPW) crews restarted collection efforts on Monday, March 9. Since some blocks of the city were missed during the first collection, another full-scale collection effort will happen in Sections 1 through 10 this spring. A map of leaf collection sections is available online, is posted at the bottom of this page, and was mailed to Jackson residents.
Leaf collection was suspended in January due to winter weather. The DPW estimates leaf collection has been completed in 50 percent of the City. Collection efforts have experienced multiple challenges due to equipment delays and inconsistent weather patterns. With spring weather approaching, and more leaf collection equipment coming to the City, revived leaf collection efforts are set to speed up. Interim City Manager Jonathan Greene says the City is committed to completing leaf collection. "We understand the frustrations that residents have had with the speed of our new leaf collection program. The DPW expects the upcoming spring and future fall collections to go at a faster pace. The City thanks residents for their patience with our new program," Greene said.
The City of Jackson will send out collection updates to residents when they're available. Residents can expect to see crews using leaf vacuum equipment to pick up leaf piles and loading them onto trailers. Curbside leaves cannot be collected if parked vehicles are blocking them, so the City advises residents to look for updates.
There are various ways residents can stay up to date on when leaf collection is coming to their area:
-Signing up for the City's CodeRED system to get phone, email and text updates.
-Looking for updates on the this web page.
-"Liking" the City's Facebook page for regular updates.
-Calling the City of Jackson Loose Leaf Collection Phone Line at 517-768-6088 to hear regular updates on collection activity.
Questions or concerns about leaf collection should be directed to the City's "Report a Concern" feature on the City's website.

Some heroes just aren't meant to be heroes. They may start with the best, albeit bland, intentions, but once they start their descent into darkness, that's when they realize their full potential as characters. So without further ado, here are 6 heroes that are better as villains.
6. Gabriel Belmont
Overall, Castlevania's Belmont clan is comprised of some very boring dudes. Their only purpose on Earth is to whip vampires, which is an important job and it's fun to play as a Belmont but ultimately they're not that interesting. Except for Gabriel Belmont.
As a hero, Gabriel Belmont was boring. His fall, however, is what made him interesting. He became Dracula, the biggest villain in the Castlevania franchise. The ability to change into mist or a bat to suck the blood of the innocent is so much cooler than being a holy man with a whip.
5. Kazuya Mishima
When Tekken first arrived on the scene, we all sighed when we saw Kazuya Mishima because he was just another Ryu clone. SNOOZE! But then we found out that Kazuya sold his soul to the Devil a long time ago to be strong enough to beat up his dad, who incidentally threw him off a cliff not once but TWICE!
Plus, when he came back from the dead, he returned embracing the Devil and his evil ways even more than before.
Without the sale of his soul, Kazuya would not be a memorable character at all.
4. Sarah Kerrigan
Sarah Kerrigan was already a badass when she was just a simply psychic-powered Terran soldier in Star Craft. But once she became infested, she evolved into one of the most interesting video game characters ever.
With the power of the Zerg at her disposal, we can never be quite sure what Sarah Kerrigan Queen of Blades is up to. All we know and need to know is that she's probably the most powerful woman in the universe and that's awesome.
3. Sephiroth
Way before the events of Final Fantasy VII, Sephiroth was technically a good guy. He worked alongside Zack and Aerith for Shinra and wasn't yet trying to murder everyone on the planet with a giant meteor. And that was cool because a super soldier that carries a sword that big has to be cool. But his turn to the dark side allowed him to become one of the most beloved villains in video game history.
2. Wheatley
Portal's Wheatley goes from goofy good guy to the agent of bringing hell to your life once he's corrupted by the same viruses that messed up Glados. Wheatley was a strong character before he became a villain, but once he made the jump, we can't help but love this malevolently evil machine that's marred by his own incompetence. Plus, Stephen Merchant's voice acting is unparalleled.
1. Arthas Menethil
When you start Warcraft III, expectations for Arthas are reasonably low. Here's this pretty, blond, hot-headed boy that wants to impress the Order…who cares? But as the game progresses, Arthas's descent is very long and drawn out, giving players so much context for why he becomes the Lich King. The character development is thought out and feels justified rather than a cheap twist.
With every scene is his story, Arthas makes another mistake or compromise, thinking the entire time that he can save the world all by himself. And that's why seeing him sit on his frozen throne with Frostmourne at the ready gives us shivers every time.
What are some of your favorite heroes that are way better as villains? Let us know in the comments!

I had to pause the documentary I was watching.
Several times.
To be candid and honest, I was getting emotional.
And thoughts were sprouting and I had to pluck 'em and write them down.
Now, with my keyboard getting restless, I'm reading those notes.
Where to begin?
Feels like I need to share. But what?
Feels like there's more at stake right now than me pecking out a few hundred words to entertain or educate you.
Yeah. I need to take your hand and pull you in closer. Sit you down.
So you know it's important.
You need to hear this.
I guess that means everyone. At least everyone who can read.
In some ways the documentary I was watching turned into a "superhero" movie.
With a different breed of superheroes.
They didn't fly or crawl up skyscrapers.
But they did go where others couldn't … or wouldn't.
They didn't have mystical or mythical or magical powers.
At least not the kind you find in comics or graphic novels.
Their powers were super, but very human. And keen and focused.
They could see things. Hear things. Feel things that many of us ignore or miss or simply forgot.
Things that surround us, sometimes overwhelm us, and most certainly affect us.
The stuff of life.
I wrote down these names … my superheroes:
Jimmy Breslin.
Ernie Pyle.
Mike Royko.
I put Breslin first because he was the star of the documentary I was watching on HBO, "Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists."
Breslin and Pete Hamill were competing columnists in New York — and friends.
Hamill wrote for the New York Post, New York Daily News and the Village Voice.
Breslin was in the New York Daily News Sunday edition.
Hamill and many others also belong on the heroes list. But the three I listed stand tall in my hall of fame.
And it's for the same reason. Because of those very human but highly focused powers they had … to see and hear and feel.
And write.
It's because of where they went to find their stories. And the kind of stories they found.
Now … stay in close. This is the part that's important to many of you.
These guys weren't leashed to meetings or official agendas. Their day did not have to include City Hall or some capitol building or government facility.
They covered the streets. And the people walking them. Working them.
Their hopes. Their pain. Their dreams and schemes.
Or in Pyle's case, he also walked through the mud and slept in the trenches with soldiers. Soldiers who yearned for the streets back home.
Their mission was a lesson for reporters. A billboard message for those who think newspapers have lost their way.
I wrote it down as it spoke to me, the mission:
Find those who have no voice.
Hear the whisper and give it volume and space.
Step away from the spotlight and explore the shadows.
Find the victims … and the day-to-day heroes.
Find these people and simply say, "Help me understand. Make me understand."
And then tell their story.
And they did. And so Breslin, Pyle, and Royko helped us understand.
Royko gave us the streets of Chicago. Breslin the boroughs of New York.
And Pyle took us down streets and back roads across America, and then into the gut of war.
Most telling are the pieces Breslin wrote after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
They stand as lessons for excellent journalism. And what newspapers can deliver … when you need it most.
While the massive herd of reporters absorbed press conferences and official announcements, Breslin took another path.
He found the doctor who desperately tried to save the president's life. And failed.
The day the nation mourned and followed the caisson with the presidents's body, Breslin saw more.
He found the man who had been called out to dig graves that day in Arlington National Cemetery, including the president's.
Breslin gave Clifton Pollard a place in history, and a voice — a chance to say, "It's an honor."
That's what reporters do. Give voice.
That's what newspapers do. Give voice.
Breslin. Pyle. Royko. They are gone.
But not the mission … the need to give voice.
Not the clamor and clash of national politics. Those voices will always be heard.
More important are the voices that need to be heard.
Voices that speak of the good and the bad, the strong and the weak, the give and the take … in the community where you live.
That's what a local, hometown newspaper does, if you're lucky enough to have one.
Local papers give voice. As best as they can. As long as they can.

Airbrushing is the make-up technique that uses a compressor and a spraying gun to spray a fine mist of make-up that sits evenly on your skin and stays there all day long.
This technique has been widely used in Hollywood, body painting and in high fashion shows as well as for TV for decades. Nowadays with the use of HD technology, TV and cinema productions require the high standard of airbrush make-up for nearly every single project.
There is no age restriction. Anyone can benefit from a flawless look. As airbrush techniques are so flexible the finishes can be adapted to each person depending on the coverage needed.
Mercedes also works with airbrush make-up, which is highly requested especially for bridal and editorial work to achieve a flawless look in record time that is also very long lasting. She works with a comprehensive range of airbrush foundations in different finishes and different shades from very fair to very deep tones.
Airbrush make-up is also very useful for creating the perfect base and concealing as well as for covering tattoos, correcting skin tones on hands, neck and legs. Some people prefer to cover their freckles on occasions and airbrushing is ideal for this.
The results are stunning, long lasting and flawless.
Mercedes also works with airbrush combined with stencils to great funky hair styles and animal prints on hair.

Cook quinoa, according to package instructions.
While quinoa is cooking, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt and sugar into a vinaigrette in a small bowl.
Combine quinoa and all remaining ingredients, except fresh herbs, into a medium-sized bowl.
Drizzle with vinaigrette. Toss to combine.
Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavours to combine. Add fresh herbs just prior to serving. May be served at room temperature.
Nutrients per serving: 407 calories, 17 g fat, 14 g protein, 56 g carbohydrates, 11 g fibre. Excellent source of vitamin E, folic acid, thiamin, iron, zinc, phosphorus and magnesium.
I love this recipe; just recommend a lighter hand with the lemon juice. A full 1/3 cup dominates the other flavors a tad too much.
I disagree with the comment about the 1/3 cup lemon. It was fine for my taste and I added some grated lemon zest!

Place the string or tape around your head above your ear and across the mid forehead, completely circling your head. Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly.

Our Materials:
All our hats are completely bespoke & handcrafted to order from only the finest sustainably sourced materials here at Herbert Johnson. We work closely with our fur felt hood suppliers in Portugal, choosing only the highest quality fur felt which is ordered to our exacting specifications.
All our felts are preshrunk during the blocking stage to avoid later shrinking as much as possible. Our rabbit is pounced to a smooth finish and a coating of protector is applied to prolong its resistence to the elements. Whilst not as dense as our beaver fur felts, our rabbit makes a very fine quality fur felt hat.

- We calculate delivery costs based on the weight of each product and country to which the item is to be posted.
- Postage costs may be included in the purchase price for some items.
Hat Care:
Store your hat somewhere dry placed brim down or preferably in a hat box. We recommend using a soft bristled hat or clothes brush to care for your hat. Brush your hat counter clockwise to free any particles from the felt. Whilst we preshrink all our hats, under extreme moisture conditions the felt may still be vulnerable to shrinkage or losing its shape if not properly cared for. We advise against force drying your hat and it is best to allow it to dry naturally brim side down.


text: Cape Town - As the South African economy rebounds with optimism in 2018, demand for our favourite vehicle configuration is sure to benefit, which means healthy revenue if you are in the bakkie business. Or does it?Toyota and Ford assemble and deliver a tremendous amount of bakkies for local consumption each month and turn a very tidy profit doing it. With double-cab bakkie prices having established new ceilings thanks to VW's Amarok V6 in 2017 and X-Class this year, the entire market has been given a margin of price escalation to manoeuvre into.Peripheral bakkie brandsWhat about the peripheral bakkie brands, those who sell a great deal fewer units per month than either Ranger or Hilux? In South Africa there has been established bakkie brands which have regressed. Most notably Mitsubishi, which once dominated the market with its Colt range, yet last month only managed to sell 44 Tritons, despite the latest version of that being an entirely convincing and credibly capable double-cab. It's the market way below Triton which is most interesting, where Indian and Chinese bakkie brands operate, in a segment where new bakkie pricing competes against the prospect of a pre-owned Hilux or Ranger. Most South Africans would appear to prefer buying a Japanese/American bakkie with significant mileage instead of a new Indian or Chinese rival. Despite this, certain alternative bakkie brands are doing than others. JMC Selling only 28 units amongst its five bakkie models is not the making of remarkable things for JMC. The not unattractively styled Vigus double-cab, which looks like a more conservative Mazda BT-50, has not convinced at all, finding only six buyers last month despite its R226 990 price point. A post shared by JMC Centurion / Auto Centurion (@jmccenturion) on Jan 10, 2018 at 4:41am PSTTataYou'll see a great many trucks from Tata involved with heavy infrastructure and civil engineering work around South Africa, but never accompanied by too many of the brand's bakkies. Tata only sold 52 bakkies in March, and that number is a bit of a misnomer too, because only three of those were proper 207 DI Worker single-cabs, the other 49 were Super Ace flatbed compact delivery trucks, which are classed as bakkies. Tata doesn't even bother marketing its double-cabs in South Africa anymore. GWM The one Chinese brand which has endured in South Africa, GWM does a tidy trade with its Steed range of bakkies. It sold 163 of them last month and although that number is split amongst four different models, it still accounts for a fair representation – and all GWM's vehicles are true traditional configuration bakkies, not flatbed mini-trucks. It could be argued that the company's line of impressive new SUVs, including offerings from the Haval sub-brand, are an indicator of true quality engineering expertise being incubated, and ultimately applied to its bakkies too, which appear to find favour with a big enough South African sample group.A post shared by Great Wall Serbia (@greatwallserbia) on Nov 2, 2017 at 7:08am PDTMahindra By far the most successful of all alternative bakkie brands is Mahindra. In March they managed to sell a total 294 bakkies between their three models lines: Bolero, Genio and Scorpio. Although the data separation between single- and double-cabs are not available to us, the bulk of Mahindra sales (196) are attributed to its Scorpio line, which features the best of Mahindra's bakkie product engineering and has benefitted from a recent facelift to the Pik-Up double-cab. The logical deduction is that Mahindra is selling a fair number of those new double-cabs and proving to South Africans that there is some value in considering an alternative bakkie brand. A post shared by Mahindra South Africa (@mahindrasouthafrica) on Nov 24, 2017 at 5:19am PST Bakkie sales: March 2018

I use my creativity as a way to better understand myself and others and find it a helpful medium through which to explore and resolve problems. My work is centred on personal growth, emotional wellbeing and physical health.
The things I create reflect my inner landscape. They are me looking out and making a statement. While on the surface they appear pretty and innocent, superficial even, beneath they are hiding a deep truth, waiting to be massaged into life.
When I feel hopeless, lost, worthless and empty, art restores me. When I feel anxious and restless, art calms and grounds me, replacing the pieces that life and living and the people and things that I rub up against have taken away.
Pinning things to an external fabric changes them, making them less threatening and more real, reducing their volume so that they lose their spikes. No matter how difficult, how hard to instigate or how uncomfortable to maintain; for me, the effort and the continued pursuit are worth it.
I call my work "Embroidered Truths', because each piece refers to and represents a specific period in my life. Lifted unedited, it bears testament to whatever element or event it was necessary for me to exorcise.

December 28, 2017 by Robert Franklin, Esq, Member, National Board of Directors, National Parents Organization
This case could portend the next enormous expansion of the right to receive child support (CBC, 12/14/17). In it, a mother is suing her daughter's paternal grandparents for child support. Their son, the girl's father, died in an accident back in 2013. Before and since, the grandparents, Denise Deforge and Conrad Hunter played a significant part in the child's life, even once gaining temporary custody of her.
Hunter and Deforge did have emergency custody of their granddaughter for eight months about seven years ago by order of the Children's Aid Society.
The fact that the two had custody of the child for eight months, that it came about on an emergency basis and that it was instigated by CAS all strongly suggest that there was some form of child abuse or neglect by the parents that necessitated Hunter and Deforge caring for the child. Given that, I would urge that it is the mother who owes eight months of child support to the grandparents, but apparently that's a non-issue.
On the contrary, she's claiming $47,000 in back child support from them and $760 per month ongoing support for the next eight years when the girl turns 18. That's specifically because Hunter and Deforge have, in the words of the mother's lawyer, "been more than grandparents to this child." Indeed, no good deed goes unpunished.
"We love her to pieces, and we'd do anything for her. But she's not our child. It's not our job to pay child support payments," says Deforge.
'Never ever should a grandparent be obligated to pay child support because they want to do what's best for their grandchild."
That's my take on the matter. The core concept underpinning child support is that anyone who participates in bringing a child into the world should, at the very least, provide for it. That's sensible. No grandparent makes the decision for two other people to have a child. The parents are either adults or, by making the decision to have a child, act like they are, and therefore should bear the responsibility they've assumed. But grandparents play no role in that and shouldn't carry the weight.
Of course Mom in this case looks to be seeking money from any source available. Dad can't pay, so who else is there? Ah yes, why not punish Granddad and Grandma who've done nothing but love the child and help with her care? This mother who, for reasons that escape me, goes unnamed in the article, looks very much like a deadbeat.
How will the court decide the issue? I haven't a clue, but, if public policy is of any importance, I know what should happen. And, should Hunter and Deforge lose, I know what they should do next.
As to public policy, we need to stop providing financial incentives to people to divorce. That of course is precisely what requiring grandparents to pay child support would accomplish. What if Dad becomes disabled and can't earn? Mom needn't worry about not receiving child support; she can just get it from his parents, or, for that matter, hers. So the road to divorce is made that much straighter and smoother.
Plus, if the court rules for Mom, what message will that send to grandparents? "Don't do too much for little Andy or Jenny. If you do, you'll be considered "more than just a grandparent" and be on the hook for payments. Did you not calculate that into your retirement plans? Well, that's your tough luck." Is that really the policy we want? Do we really want to discourage grandparents from caring for and loving their grandkids? How many times would Mom really like it if the grandparents would take the children off her hands for a few hours or a day or so? Well, if Hunter and Deforge lose, the decision will urge other grandparents to back off and let Mom fend for herself.
And we want child protective agencies like CAS to seek kinship care when parents are deemed unable to care properly for children. Living for a time with Grandma and Grandpa is usually far preferable to care by strangers. They generally do a better job of it because they love the child and vice versa. And of course the child is less traumatized by the separation from its parents than if it were placed in the usual foster care. So when a children's welfare agency has to intervene, we definitely want grandparents to step into the breech. The knowledge that they may later be charged with child support will naturally discourage them from doing so.
Plus, as stated above, let's not further erode the notion that people should be responsible for the choices they make. There's enough of that disease going around as it is.
Should Hunter and Deforge be forced to pay, I would strongly encourage them to seek primary custody. After all, if they're going to be paying for the child anyway, why not? And, at this far remove, they seem to be better qualified to care for her. As I said, Mom appears to be a deadbeat and perhaps contributed to child abuse or neglect back in 2010, necessitating temporary custody on the part of the grandparents. That would seem to add up to a pretty fair case for their having primary custody and demanding child support of her.

Another question for another chance to win a copy of Her Secondhand Groom: Have you read/heard/seen anything this past week that just made you drop your jaw and go, "Huh?"
Yesterday's question: Have you ever named an inanimate object (such as your car, pillow, TV etc)? If yes, what?
Here are the answers I got at Facebook:
- Wow–I am embarrassed to even write this but I will. For a wedding gift, my husband's aunt knitted us a beautiful afghan. It is the only blanket I can sleep with year-round because it's cool when it's hot and vice versa. But I call it "Blankie." My husband just laughs at me.
- My first car was named butterfly
- We name our blankets, too. Our thick, heavy quilt for winter is: Warm and Toasty, our summer quilt is: Light and Airy, we have three throws in our living room (they all look alike) and we call them: Soft and Cushies. (As I said yesterday, we're a bunch of weirdos in the Gordon house, but I couldn't let this pass by without saying something. LOL) —This was mine
- My husband named the car navigator Joan and he argues with her when he doesn't agree with her directions.
- Yes my gps and her name is LuLu
- I named my first car The Stud. It was a 1990 Toyota 4-Runner and though it was slow to get going on the HWY, it could drive off road and could pull just about anything. I later traded it for a Red Pontiac Vibe that husband named "The Red Rocket" due to it's zippy speed.—This was mine.
- I name lots of things around our house, most notably, my computers. I'm currently using a MacBook Pro I've named, Mac (how original, right?); before this, I had an Acer named Charlotte, and before that, an old Gateway named Puter (pronounced Pooter). —Also mine.

'It has always been part of my life, we'd all watch it as kids every night,' the 30-year-old Geordie gal said of the show. 'It's surreal to be part of something I've watched my whole life.'
'It's great to be able to support six wonderful charities and I really hope that this year's appeal makes a difference to many lives', she added.
Judging by the preview snap, Cheryl's a natural behind the bar with her long tumbling locks, vampy red nails and dazzler of a smile sure to liven up life for the Weatherfield locals.

Following a summer break, Surrey Art Gallery's first Thursday Artist Talk of the fall will focus on the larger-than-life animal drawings of Fiona Tang.
On Sept. 5, the New Westminster-based artist will talk about "Drawing Without Fear" at the Bear Creek Park facility, starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free.
Tang's large animal drawings aim to impress with their sheer size.
In her illustrated talk, Tang will share her drawing process, including overcoming the initial fear of putting marks on mural-size blank paper. A prominent technique she uses is trompe l'oeil (meaning "deceives the eye") to create the illusion that the animals are coming out of the paper.
"Through my large-scale drawings, my hope is to minimize the distance between humans and animals," Tang, a Burnaby resident, says in a bio posted to facebook.com/fionatangart.
"I want the viewers to engage with my work emotionally and/or physically and be overwhelmed with a sense of vulnerability and wonder by the sheer size. Through interacting with these animals, the audience is made aware of their existence and I hope to reverse the passive relationship between the viewer and artwork."

I've noticed down here in Des Moines at the World Pork Expo that quite a few U.S. hog industry people seem to be assuming today's tariffs on U.S. pork by Mexico and China are just a short term thing, something that will be removed when the Negotiator-in-Chief resolves the U.S.-launched trade wars.
Especially amongst those who seem to be sympathetic to, to like or to support U.S. President Donald J Trump there seems to be optimism that this piling up of tariffs and costs on the U.S. hog industry will go away pretty soon before any lasting damage is done.
Hmmmmmmmmm . . . That seems like a pretty risky assumption to me.
My experience in covering agricultural trade disputes over the last 24 years has been that they tend to go on and on and on and on, with nobody willing to quickly back down from positions they have taken.
Trump has done much to offend the Chinese and Mexicans. They don't have much reason to play nice. He's offended Canada too, but so far hasn't pushed his trade war with us into the major agricultural areas.
Maybe Trump will fluke off a quick resolution to these trade battles with Mexico and China. But that would take a good negotiator, and he's never proven he's anything like that. So far he's created and escalated a bunch of disputes. Let's see if he can resolve them. Maybe he doesn't even want to. But if he does and is successful, good on him.
I'm hoping the Canada-U.S. trade battle won't spread into big agricultural commodities like pork. We share an integrated industry and it's pretty darned efficient. We buy pork from each other. (My Costco, in the middle of a huge Canadian hog production area, sells U.S. pork.) No serious players in the U.S. industry want to see border obstacles muck it up.
But Trump seems to enjoy escalating tensions, so I don't share the optimistic assumptions of many American hog industry people about the anti-trade crusade of Trump ending any time soon.
And for the sake of the Canadian farmers I write for, and the welfare of U.S. farmers who they share an industry with, I'm just hoping any escalation doesn't hit the agriculture space, because that's the last thing anybody needs.

Is there a way to stop the sweating on the pipes in my basement? There is so much condensation that water actually puddles on the floor! You are not alone! With the exception of a handful of very modern homes, every home has a basement moisture problem. Gimme Shelter: Basement Wall Repair.

Heavens | The Philadelphia Inquirer. Home Energy 101 Part 2: Rim joists - Our Task. When I go into homes and do an energy assessment, I normally go straight to the basement.
Once I'm there, one of the main things I look at are the rim joists, which are located essentially where the foundation wall meets the first floor. It usually looks like an empty rectangular box. For whatever reason, most rim joists are completely exposed - no insulation and no air sealing. Occasionally I will see some fiberglass batts that have seen better days but unless the home is recently built, most of them are empty. These are significant entry points for air, moisture, and pests. Solutions Big and Small. Northern Industries. For examples of Hydro Seal 75 in use, visit our photo gallery.
For a comparison of kits sizes, click here. Description. Makeupair.info - Makeup Air Heating Systems Information. Makeup or compensating air is outside air which is introduced into the building to replace air that is exhausted from the building through ventilation or combustion processes.
Most exhaust systems are installed for employee comfort and safety or for product process requirements. In the past, when energy was inexpensive and plentiful, exhaust fans were frequently added and often oversized. Little thought was given to bringing in outside air to replace the exhausted amount. If adequate air is not introduced into the building, a negative pressure condition will develop. This causes uncomfortable conditions and reduces the effectiveness of exhaust systems. Buildings which have inadequate makeup air (or excess exhaust) and are operating with a negative pressure condition have several common characteristics.
Makeup Air For Combustion Equipment - JLC Online Page 2 of 4. Spillage and Carbon Monoxide The most dangerous effect of poor or negative draft is spillage, which is the entry of flue gas into the home.
Flue gas can contain dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, which is odorless and poisonous. Carbon monoxide detectors are now required in many locations. Insulating your basement? Start with the rim joist. Have you ever noticed how snow will melt around the foundation on older houses?
This will happen at any house with unheated foundation walls, and it's a great visual indication of how the house is losing heat. When there's no melted snow up against the house, we can rely on thermal imaging to figure out where the heat loss is occurring. In the image below it's right at the rim space; that's the part that shows up as the brightest orange / yellow. While houses usually act like chimneys, sucking air in at the bottom and exhausting air through leaks at the top, the photo below is a perfect example showing how it doesn't always work that way. I have a home with exposed fiberglass insulation in the basement. Can the fibers degrade and become airborne? Asked by Aaron Schorsch Shepherdsville, KY Should I cover the insulation?
The house is approximately two years old. Answer. 3 Problems with Fiberglass Batt Insulation in Floors. 3 Problems with Fiberglass Batt Insulation in Floors I've been in a lot of crawl spaces and basements that have floors insulated with fiberglass batts.
I've seen a lot of new homes that have fiberglass batts installed in bonus room floors, cantilevers, and floors over basements or crawl spaces. Why not remove batt insulation from basement ceiling joist bays? I live in a 1993-construction modified cape-style house, in New England.
Three floors, ~1900 square feet. The rim joists in the (unfinished, unheated) basement have been air-sealed with Great Stuff expanding foam. Do I really want or need fiberglass batting in the basement ceiling joist bays? This weekend, I discovered that the fiberglass batt insulation in the ceiling joist bays in the basement have a significant amount of rat/mouse dropping detritus in them.

FORMER Zifa board member Felton Kamambo has described Zifa president Philip Chiyangwa as a "coward" who is trying to block his challenge for the federation's top post ahead of the elections on December 1.
Kamambo, who has revealed his bid to challenge Chiyangwa in elections set for December, said the Zifa boss was aware he would not stand a chance against him in the elections and was resorting to all tricks to try and block his participation.
'He (Chiyangwa) is a coward. He is afraid to face me in the election and has resorted to all sorts of tactics to try and frustrate me. He knows he will not stand a chance," Kamambo said.
Kamambo was responding to reports that he was ineligible to challenge Chiyangwa because he is serving a three-year ban imposed in April.
The former Zifa board member however argues that he is not serving any ban and should be allowed to contest the December 1 elections.
Kamambo withdrew from the Zifa board in March together with Piraishe Mabhena arguing the term of office of the board had come to an end.
Chiyangwa, his deputy Omega Sibanda and Philemon Machana stayed on.
Kamambo yesterday said he was surprised the issue of the suspension was only made public after he requested for a nomination form to challenge the incumbent.
"I don't know of the alleged suspension. Since I resigned I have never received a letter to that effect. It's only coming to light now. It has just come out of the blue. In any case, why should the suspension be made public now after I requested for a nomination form to challenge Chiyangwa in the elections. Clearly, he is afraid. He knows he stands no chance," said Kamambo.
The former Zifa board member also questioned why the Zifa secretariat was usurping the responsibility of the electoral committee to vet candidates by refusing to provide nomination forms to interested candidates.
Kamambo was reportedly denied a nomination form by the secretariat when he requested one on Tuesday.
Kamambo wrote to the Zifa electoral committee yesterday asking the body to intervene so that he can be issued with the form. The electoral committee is the one that is mandated to vet candidates.
"Pursuant to the letter I wrote you dated 23rd October 2018 it has come to my attention through a newspaper article that the Zifa secretariat is claiming that it refused to give me the nomination form based on the allegation that I was suspended from Zifa," his letter reads.
"It is not the function of the Zifa secretariat to disqualify candidates from participating in an election. This is an exclusive role of the electoral committee. The Zifa secretariat should be ordered to furnish the nomination forms to all prospective candidates."

Just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my post yesterday about screwing up an otherwise great date.
I took your advice and texted him. 4 hours later, still no text. So I went ahead and deleted his number but felt a lot better about the situation. Then when i woke up this morning I had a text from him saying that he agreed that the date was good before it went bad. Over the last few hours we've been texting back and forth and he's agreed to go out with me again. He also keeps kinda razzing me about the situation, which is good. At least he can see the humor in it!
So there's my update. Thanks for making me text him! Hopefully the next date goes much more smoothly! (I will NOT be drinking)

Statistics from the Baker Hughes rig count report issued on Friday revealed the Arkoma Woodford basin in southeastern Oklahoma was the fastest-growing oil and natural gas field in the country, according to a report by The Oklahoman.
The Arkoma Woodford is also known as the east STACK and has commanded the attention of several players over the past few months. In September, Edmond-based Tall Oak Midstream announced plans for a $400 million natural gas gathering and processing facility in Hughes County.
The Arkoma Woodford basin also added two new rigs this week, growing from four natural gas rigs to a new total of 11. Last month, Oklahoma City-based Antioch Energy confirmed the company's Arkoma Woodford wells produced both oil and natural gas.

The Varieties Of Bonsai Trees
Forming the tree is the most important aspect of growing a bonsai tree at home. To be able to perform the task well, you need knowledge, skill, and practice. Bonsai trees for sale can be purchased in a number of design styles that are common, or they can be shaped by you however you'd like. The most typical design designs are literati cascading, formal upright, informal upright, and slanting. So you may decide what will suit your requirements and dwelling, these various styles will probably be discussed throughout this article. Should you like multiple designs you can purchase more than one tree.
The fashion of literati is the first one that I will go over. Literati is a bonsai shape that is typical that you simply think of. It's a tree that's a long bare trunk with few branches. The branches that it does have are near the very top of the tree and the trunks have many turns and twists.
Bonsai trees available for sale may also be sold as formal erect and everyday upright styles. These varieties of trees have tapered trunks that are straight upwards. When there are curves in the upright trunk, this is considered casual in style. Slanted is another tree style. The target of this is just as the name sounds, to have the trunk slant up in the ground with an angle. Many bonsai styles are easily recognized by their name.
Another bonsai gardening style is the forest style. For several trees, one container or pot is used in this design together. Varying heights of trees are often used to add style and depth to the group. In forest scenes, three or five trees are generally used. You shouldn't ever use a group of four trees as this has lousy significance in the culture of Japan.
Cascading is the final style of bonsai trees that I shall discuss. This is really a lovely fashion that attempts to generate a flowing and harmonious tree. Branches are weaved throughout the pot back and forth to make a flow. When purchasing bonsai trees available, this is really a typical style used. If you really are a collector that is large and possess an excellent joy for bonsai trees, it might be fine to grow trees in a number of fashions to truly have a complete collection of trees. The styles that I wrote about aren't the only ones that you are limited to. It truly is possible to compose your own personal style also. It is just essential that you have fun in what you are doing.
