To find the site-specific requirements, go to www.damstratechnology.com/Sites, find a specific site, and check the pre-induction or pre-familiarisation checklist as well as their competency data as per skills list/skills matrix.

You are here:
Treatment as a public patient in the NSW public health system is provided at no cost to you. This includes treatment as a public patient in a public hospital and at community health centres. Some people may also be eligible for treatment at public dental clinics, or ambulance services, at no cost.
If you see a doctor or other health service provider privately, there will be a charge.
The government does not regulate fees charged for health care services by private health providers (for example, doctors, dentists, denture makers, optometrists, physiotherapists and podiatrists, etc). Private practitioners, private hospitals, day surgeries and nursing homes can decide what they will charge for their services in the same way as any other business.
Some health providers have professional associations, such as the Australian Medical Association (AMA), that suggest 'recommended' fees. But, doctors are not obliged to charge this fee – they may charge more or less.
For many health services, the government sets a Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) fee, often referred to as the schedule fee. Medicare pays a percentage of this fee – this is called the Medicare benefit. It is not an indication of how much your doctor can or should charge you, but it is usually less than what the doctor will charge you.
Most medical services attract a specific Medicare Benefits Scheme item number.
Not all health services or procedures attract a Medicare benefit. For example, Medicare does not cover most private dental services or physiotherapy. A person treated by ambulance officers is responsible for paying any fees associated with their treatment and/or transport, regardless of whether or not they were the person who requested an ambulance.
If you have private health insurance, you should seek information about what your private health fund will cover and what you may have to pay yourself (the gap). Before you contact your health fund, please ask your doctor or provider about:
With this information, contact your health fund to ask about the full costs and any gap that may apply. The gap is the difference between what the practitioner charges and what Medicare plus your health insurance will actually cover you for. It is often called your 'out of pocket expenses'.
A doctor can choose to charge a patient only the Medicare Benefit amount – this is called 'bulk-billing'. The patient signs a form assigning the Medicare benefit for the service to the doctor, the doctor accepts the Medicare benefit as the total payment, so there is no additional charge to the patient.
A doctor has the choice to bulk-bill all patients, no patients or some patients. The doctor may choose to only bulk-bill for some services.
The best way to avoid unexpected costs for health care and treatment is to ask first. Ask how much the service will cost if you have not been told. If you agree to a service without asking about costs and charges, it is difficult to complain after you have received the service.
You have a right to know what the costs will be. Wherever practical, a health care provider should be prepared to discuss charges with you before providing the services. If it is more complicated, you can ask for written information about the costs.
Be aware that there may be other practitioners involved in your care also expecting payment. Examples of these might be the surgeon's assistants or anaesthetists. Your doctor or other health service provider should be able to tell you who will be involved in your care, and how to find out what other providers can charge.
Always keep in mind that the cost quoted could increase if there are complications in your treatment. For example, your surgery may be unexpectedly complex, or take longer than anticipated.
When your health service provider gives full explanations about the fees and you agree to go ahead with the treatment, you are giving 'informed financial consent'.
If you are asked to pay for something you were not expecting, or your bill is substantially higher than what had been discussed, the first thing you should do is discuss the situation with your health care provider. Sometimes there might have been a misunderstanding or error in the bill. The provider will not know that you have a problem with the fees unless you let them know.
If, after speaking with your health service provider, you still feel that the charge is unfair or unreasonable, you need to communicate this, preferably in writing. It is better to deal with the matter rather than withholding payment, as the health service provider may decide to put unpaid bills in the hands of a debt collection agency. It may be possible to negotiate an agreement on how to pay the account, for example, by instalments.
If you are a member of a health fund, contact the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman (PHIO) on 1800 640 695. PHIO also produces a useful brochure called 'Doctors Bills' which provides more detailed information on this topic.
If you are seeking a refund for goods (for example dentures, glasses, orthotics), which are faulty or for a service you feel you did not get what you paid for, contact the Office of Fair Trading on 13 32 20.
If you are concerned about overservicing or the correct use of item numbers, contact Medicare Australia on 13 20 11.
If you are dissatisfied with the clinical care provided, rather than the cost of the care, contact the Health Care Complaints Commission on 1800 043 159 (toll free in NSW) or 9219 7444.

Brooklyn, New York City
Prospect Park Zoo
Prospect Park Zoo is a 12-acre (5 hectares) zoo located at Flatbush Avenue, on the eastern side of Brooklyn's Prospect Park and nearby the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The zoo opened in 1935 and is operated by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Though a small zoo compared to New York City's larger zoo in The Bronx (Bronx Zoo), Prospect Park Zoo remains popular with children. Nearly 400 animals belonging to more than 80 species of animals make their home at Prospect Park Zoo.
The zoo is specifically designed for children and therefore home to smaller or less aggressive animals. Furthermore, the animals are kept in environments that simulate their native habitats. Mammals at Prospect Park Zoo include baboons, river otters, prairie dogs, red pandas, porcupines, kangaroos, and sea lions. There are also barn animals including sheep, goats, cows, ducks, geese, and alpacas housed in the zoo's northern quadrant. Other creatures in captivity include several species of birds, frogs, iguanas, and snakes.
The zoo organizes regular activities for its visitors including the thrice-daily feeding of the California Sea Lions at the Sea Lion Court. Along the Discovery Trail, visitors pass through several habitats including marshes and scrub lands where prairie dogs, red pandas, kangaroos, and otters live. At the Barn & Garden, visitors have the opportunity to meet up close and and feed the farm animals including goats, sheep, and alpacas. Visitors can also get a close encounter with the smaller animals such as iguanas, snakes, porcupines, and chickens at the Discovery Theater.

I believe there comes a time in most women's lives that we question what we are doing. Are we are doing enough? Are we fulfilled? What would it take to truly make us happy?
A lot of factors come into play: becoming a mother, a major life change, unhappiness with where we currently are in our lives. The thing is, change is scary! Maybe you've been working in your current job for so long that you are fearful of doing something else. You could be afraid of how a change would affect your family, or you might be terrified of failing! The truth is all of these are very valid ways to feel.
Here is my question for you: when was anything worth dreaming of not going to require change and hard work?
Life is full of opportunities, and I believe there is no age limit or life limitation that will keep you from reaching your dreams. You are the only one who can make them come true, so seek after them if you want to see them come to pass.
Life has brought on some significant life changes for me this year. The main feeling I have had is that I feel stuck. I feel like I am not where I should be in my life. The major part of the last 10 years was devoted to my now ex-husband and my children. Neither of which I regret, but it has left me ready for more. Not only more for myself, but a way that I can, in the end, give more to my kids. Have you ever been at a place in your life where all you can do is think? About everything: where you are at, where you are going, where you have been… Why has everything happened this way, and how do I make myself happy again? Let me tell you, girlfriend, you are not alone!
Here is my question for you: when was anything worth dreaming of not going to require change and hard work?
These questions brought me to my very own ah-ha moment…
I am going to go back to college! That's right; I am a single mom, in my almost mid-30s, still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up, and I am going back to college!
Oh, and I couldn't be more excited. I know this journey of life will be hard and tiring and hectic. Here is the thing though, I want to show my boys that it is never too late. I mean, if J.K. Rowling can become a billionaire by 42 from writing Harry Potter when she didn't even publish her first book until she was 32, then surely I can follow my dreams and go back to college.
The thing I want you all to remember is it is never too late to set a dream and decide to make it your reality. We all go through times and phases in our lives. In my mid-20s I was ready to start my family and have kids. It wasn't a time in my life that I was prepared to finish college. For me, that time came after my divorce was finalized. In whatever you do, whenever you decide to do it, it should give you a sense of purpose. My sense of purpose and drive to get my degree is my kids. Without the thought of them pushing me to succeed, I am not sure I would have made this choice.
Wherever your drive comes from, let it push you hard and don't quit until you reach it. As mothers, wives, daughters, and friends, it is so easy to forget ourselves. Allow you to find yourself in your dreams and desires, whatever those may be. And don't stop until you reach them. Make yourself proud, ladies, and prove to yourself above anyone else that you can do it!

How to protect yourself from bad web designer practices.
I have recently been contacted by several people who are experiencing bad web designer practices. These unknowing people hired someone to design a website for them and assumed they would have control over it.
There are some local SEO companies who have become very aggressive in their sales tactics. They are offering websites at very low prices in an effort to make a killing on SEO once you have your website. These less than ethical companies are portraying themselves as website designers, but the reality is that they make their living doing SEO (search engine optimization). They look at it as an "upsell". I look at it as bad web designer practices.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with SEO. It has its place, although I believe that for the most part, they overcharge and under deliver. What is happening is that these self proclaimed web designers are most likely outsourcing the website design to India.
Once the website is built, they send the client the WordPress login and give no help as far as how to actually update the website. Once the client decides to make a change, they can log in, but without any help or training it's all Greek to them.
This is the typical scenario that I am hearing:
- After the website is built, the Web/SEO company keeps pushing to set up appointments to discuss their SEO plan, but is unresponsive to any help with the actual website.
- They never actually say they are not in the business of designing websites. That's just a way to get their foot in the door.
- The websites are very low priced, but the SEO will cost from $300 to $1,000 each month. They will make a Facebook Fan page, a Google Plus account, run some ads and enjoy spending the money.
All of this is not as bad as the fact that they do not give the client an Admin login to their own website. The client can log in, but doesn't know enough to realize they don't have administrative rights to their own website. They are given an Editor login, which gives them limited access. You may not know what this is, but basically they are locking the client out of the ability to do anything but edit the pages already created. They can't install or access plugins, or backup their own website.
This also prevents the website from being taken over by anyone else because without the ability to install a backup plugin, the site can't be moved. Are they doing this deliberately to keep their clients from escaping the SEO hounding? I can't answer that question for sure, but I have my suspicions. Can they do this legally? The answer to that is probably, yes. Is it ethical? Absolutely not!
Be aware that there are a lot of less than ethical people out there. I won't call them web designers, because they are not.
My advice to anyone who is having a website designed by anyone (including me):
- Buy your own domain name. Your domain name gives you legal ownership of your website.
- Ask them if they will give you access to the Hosting Control Panel – the answer should be yes.
- Ask them if they will give you an Admin Login to your website – again, if the answer isn't yes, look elsewhere.
- Do a search for "theircityname web design", and see where they are ranking. If they are portraying themselves as a website design company and are not at the top of page one, they aren't so good at SEO, are they?
- Check out their ratings on Yelp, Merchants Circle and anywhere else you can think of. If they aren't there, they probably just changed their name and or web address to get a fresh start from bad reviews. If they have been in business for a long time, there should be many records of them.
- Check out their portfolio. If there are photos of websites, but no actual links to websites, that's a bad sign.
- Call a couple of their clients and ask about the kind of service they receive from the designer.
The bottom line is, if you are a local business, servicing a geographical area (like Sacramento) you shouldn't need to hire someone for your SEO. On page SEO (if done correctly) can get you ranked high. The last time I checked, I came up number one on page one of Google for the search term "Sacramento web design". They come up quite a bit lower than number one.
I rest my case…

What turns men off via text and actually kills sexual tension by mistake?
Learning what works and what doesn't work is essential if you want to keep the flames of passion burning strongly, and this is especially true when it comes to texting.
Texting isn't always easy, particularly when it comes to building desire. It's not just a case of knowing what to say – it's also a case of not knowing what not to say. Text the wrong things and he'll sigh, make a cup of coffee and ask you how your day was.
Well, guess the fun is over for another night!
Let's take a look at what turns men off via text so it doesn't keep happening.
1. The Needy Text
Let's get this one out of the way right away. Don't ever, EVER text any of these:
"Are you ignoring me??"
"Are you even there?"
Mood killers 101. It's the ultimate mistake when it comes to what turns men off.
A definite no-no.
2. What Turns Men Off? Taking Things Too Far
Another tip for how to seduce a man over text is to remember you still need to play by the rules. Before texting anything, ask yourself how weird it sounds to you. If it sounds too out there, don't send it.
There is an episode of Seinfeld that perfectly illustrates this. A woman convinces Jerry to talk dirty to her, but runs for the hills when he says something that totally weirds her out.
The great thing about texting is that we can literally edit ourselves before we've even sent the text!
Don't go too far. Don't be the odd-ball with the weird fetish that he might not like.
Since we all have different tolerance levels, it's impossible for us to say what might and might not freak him out. But for example, "I want you to suck my toes so badly right now," is arguably a mood killer if he's not into feet!
If you want to turn a man on through texts, make sure you know what he likes and dislikes, and don't go too far.
3. The Closed Response Text
There is an art to building sexual tension via text, and you MUST be imaginative and decent with words.
What turns men off via text? Closed-response texts. You will instantly destroy the mood.
"Love it."
Where can he go next? When you're trying to seduce a man over text, give the poor guy something to work with!
4. Criticizing Him
You're trying to build the tension, and so is he. The last thing he wants you to do is criticize him for his efforts:
"I hope that's not something you typically say to girls."
"Please brush your teeth next time."
"LOL you're coming nowhere near me in that shirt."
It's the kind of text that probably isn't going to make him feel sexy. Instead, it's just going to irritate and even embarrass him. Two major contributing factors when it comes to what turns guys off. Let him do his thing, and if you're not enjoying it, try to subtly push him into a different direction.
5. Being Explicit
You might think that when you're trying to turn a man on through texts, you have to talk super duper dirty and say sexually explicit things early in the relationship.
This is a bad idea. Tension is built subtly, and over time. When you're too explicit, all the tension instantly evaporates. Slowly get your sexy on as your relationship matures.
Tension is built when we know what the other person wants without them coming out and saying it explicitly.
Still want to get flirty? It's a much better idea to use innuendos that allude to what you want to do with him, rather than saying something outright.
For example, instead of saying "I want to have sex with you," you can instead text, "I was just thinking about you and me and…maybe you should come over so I can show you :)"
Being explicit means you've reached the summit without doing any climbing. In other words, you've built zero tension but decided to get straight to the point. Boring.
6. All Pull And No Push
Another tip on how to seduce a man over text is to remember the push and pull. When you pull a man via text, you're drawing him in and showing him you're into him. When you push him, you're teasing him and not bending over backwards for him. The chase is on.
What turns men off? All pull and no push. It is unappealing and doesn't build any sexual tension.
For example, if he decides it's time to meet, you're going to be ambiguous:
Don't give him what he wants – yet.
And that's how simple it is when it comes to what turns off men. Stop yourself from sending these unsexy texts and instead focus on how to seduce a man over text. Don't forget to comment and share!

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body with a slew of functions from muscle contraction to immune system regulation to maintaining a healthy heart. When we have low magnesium levels we are at an increased risk for muscle weakness, irritability, irregular heartbeats, and heart disease.
Magnesium is abundant in a wide range of foods. The body regulates the amount of magnesium it holds on to very carefully by releasing any excess magnesium in our urine as needed. If you are unable to consume enough foods high in magnesium or are taking certain medications that prevent you from storing enough magnesium in your body, your doctor may recommend magnesium supplements. Magnesium supplements are also sometimes provided to help regulate abnormal heart beats in those with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) or atrial fibrillation (AFib). Supplements may be given orally or provided intravenously, via IV, for those in need.
The need of adequate magnesium for regulating our heartbeat is widely accepted however using magnesium for the treatment of high blood pressure has long been debated. The latest studies show, a small, but significant, link between getting adequate magnesium in our diets and having a healthy blood pressure.
How much Magnesium?
The Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) develops Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), which are broken down into Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), Adequate Intake (AI), and Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL).
We use these established DRIs to know how much of a nutrient to include in our diet daily for optimal health.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium for adults over the age of 31 years is 420mg for males and 320mg for females.
Food sources of magnesium are not of concern for toxicity as the mineral content from these foods is easily excreted in the urine. However, those taking magnesium supplements in any form should be aware that the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is 350mg for both males and females over the age of 19 years.
Too little magnesium?
The body does a relatively good job keeping our levels of magnesium at the needed levels. However, chronic low intake of magnesium, excess amount of coffee or alcohol, or certain health conditions may lead to a low magnesium level. Low magnesium levels have been shown to lead to personality changes, vomiting, fatigue, appetite loss, muscle cramps, numbness, and abnormal heart rhythms.
Too much magnesium?
The dangers of too much magnesium lie only with those taking magnesium supplements. Excess magnesium in this form often has a laxative effect leading to diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and nausea. Very large doses of magnesium laxatives and antacids has been linked to magnesium toxicity. Taking magnesium supplements with food may decrease this risk of adverse effects.
How to include magnesium every day
Obtaining needed nutrients in your diet is always preferable to supplements. Luckily, magnesium-rich foods are easy to find and delicious!
Meat department
- Yellowtail fish
- Ham
- Roasted turkey
- Salmon
- Lobster
- Swiss cheese
- Nonfat, vanilla yogurt
- Low-fat milk
Canned goods
- Chicken noodle soup
- Split pea soup (reduced sodium)
- Marinara sauce
- Pumpkin seeds
- Almonds
- Hemp seeds
- Light tortilla chips
- Popcorn
- Oats
- Granola
- Quinoa
- Brown rice
- Cooked spinach
- Sundried tomatoes
- Lima beans
- Acorn squash
- Avocado
- Banana
Most of us consume adequate amounts of magnesium throughout our diet. Be aware if supplementing with Magnesium, toxicity is possible! Magnesium is just one key nutrient you want use to improve blood pressure levels.

Are you in the business of selling fairy tales?

Writing your own press release can be a great, cost-effective way to generate publicity and new leads for your business.

But simply writing a
Which I've failed to do in my title – but it seems there's an increasing trend for incorrectly using quotation marks to emphasise words.

If you actually know what a copywriter does, you're already doing well.

Recession-Proofing Your Sponsorship Program: A Rightsholder's Guide
We've all seen the news reports about the increase in recession warning signs. Economies are slowing down. Some countries and business sectors are already in, or on the brink of, recession. At best, global economic indicators are mixed. It's also been ten years since the end of the Global Financial Crisis (AKA, the Great Recession). This, in and of itself, concerns some economists, as historically, this makes us "due" for a recession.

Tavira Walking Tours organises walks in the eastern Algarve to introduce people to the traditional inland part of the region and the lifestyle of the local population. Whether in a friendly confectionery, bread or cake workshop, which enables participants to get hands-on experience, feel the pleasant warmth of the wood oven in the winter or smell freshly squeezed oranges in the summer, or on Nordic Walking tours, at an easy level covering a short distance for beginners, or on long walks through the uplands of the serra at an advanced level of difficulty for more experienced walkers, our activities will always be memorable.
The trails are selected by the guides in order to guarantee a wide variety of surfaces and landscapes in a single walk, and thereby surprise walkers at every hill they cross. This is what happens on the walks along thematic routes and in the experiences sharing the cultural and natural heritage, which include subjects such as fruit trees or dryland trees, and the use of plants. Or on visits to see traditional activities such as the tile makers of Santa Catarina, or olive oil presses and distilleries of liqueurs and aguardente brandies. These walks with a more recreational element always include a stop for a snack with seasonal products to regain one's strength for the next part of the walk.
The Tavira Walking Tours guides have experience of trail running and athletics, and in-depth knowledge of the area where the walks take place. They are also trained in first aid in order to be able to provide assistance in emergencies, and in intangible heritage by the Algarve Regional Directorate of Culture.

For those of us who privileged to live in the Adirondacks, winter is magical. With the arrival of snow and cold temperatures comes cozy clothes and crackling fires, snow sports and snow angels, hot beverages and hearty stews and so much more. But for even the most ardent winter fun participant, there comes a time, whether it's snowing or not, when winter is over and it needs to go away. And let's face it; unless you're a winter Olympian, beef or winter vegetable stew followed up by even a small apple tart for days on end makes us all a little more... huggable... whether we like it or not.
So in the spirit of possibility and potential that seems to travel with spring, I've put together a list of easy spring hikes with great views that will get you ready for warm temperatures and summer adventures, like these Adirondack hikes for families that can be enjoyed on your next summer vacation.
Five Easy Spring Hikes to Get in Shape for Summer
Bloomingdale Bog
First on our list is less of a hike and more of a walk, but trust me, the Bloomingdale Bog trail is the perfect place to reintroduce outdoor exercise to your life. The relatively flat, open, and straight trail starts in Bloomingdale, NY and ends 10 miles away in Saranac Lake, NY (or vice versa). The negligible incline won't leave most people winded after the first eighth of a mile but the length of the trail means you can walk to your heart's content. It is also a great trail for doing some bird watching as the birds migrate back north!
- 12 miles from High Peaks Resort
Paul Smiths VIC
The Visitors Interpretive Center at Paul Smiths College is a one-stop shop for spring conditioning. With 3,000 acres to explore, the VIC offers a little bit of everything; from the wheelchair accessible Barnum Brook trail to the rolling terrain of Black Pond or Heron Marsh or the steeper climb of Jenkins Mountain. And to make things even better, the VIC hosts a smorgasbord of public programs with local naturalists to combine fresh air and learning (sign us up for the Wild Edibles Walk)!
- 22 miles from High Peaks Resort
Henry's Woods
Just a hop, skip and a jump from High Peaks Resort, the five trails of Henry's Woods offer a wealth of spring conditioning opportunities. Easy to moderate in elevation, the Henry's Woods trail system can be combined in lots of different ways to add elevation, distance or just to keep things interesting.
- 2 miles from High Peaks Resort
Baker Mountain
Clocking in at under a mile to the summit, Baker Mountain is a great hike when you're ready for a little elevation, but not too much. And the pay off makes it so worth it. At the summit, you'll see the town of Saranac Lake, the Mackenzie Mountain wilderness area and the Adirondack High Peaks in the distance.
- 9 miles from High Peaks Resort
Cobble Hill
There are two ways up Cobble Hill, the easy route or the steep route, and both will make you sweat. The steep route, a 0.8-mile scramble up over rough trail and bare rock, is an easy challenge for the experienced hiker while the easier route is a great beginner hike that is less steep, but not effortless. And the fact that you can walk to it from the hotel? What more could you want?
- 1 mile from High Peaks Resort
Hiking When Muddy
It's important to remember that if conditions are muddy, trails should be used with extra care (or avoided) so as not to increase erosion. If you encounter a muddy section of trail you should go through it, not around it as continued side-stepping widens the trail.

We recognize that community engagement and public service activities often occur via the curriculum - so Collaboratory enables faculty and staff to identify when their Activity is happening as part of a Course.
We define Courses (and their component Sections) as academic offerings in which students receive academic credit towards an institutional degree or certificate.
A Course can be made up of multiple Sections. Sections represent Courses throughout time, and are distinguished by the unique combination of Course number, academic year (period), academic term, and section number.
For example - Accounting 101 has taken place every fall for the last 10 years. In Collaboratory, the Course is "Accounting 101 (ACT101)", which contains 10 sections, each of which represents the unique instances of that Course for the last 10 fall semesters.
An Activity can have multiple Courses and Sections associated with it. If your Activity has taken place as part of a course for the last three years, make sure you identify each unique Section every term, so the Activity accurately reflects these connections.
Adding a Course
Step 1: Navigate to Scholarship
- Courses are created as part of Activities.
- To add a Course to an Activity, on step 4 (Scholarship) of the Activity edit flow, identify that Yes, your Activity is directly connected to a credit-bearing Course.
- Select Link Section.
Step 2: Select or Add a Course
- Search for and select an existing Course from the modal. If you do not see your Course, select Don't See it? Add New Course in the top right corner of the modal.
- If you are entering a new Course, provide the Course Code, Name, Number, and Level, and identify if the course is cross-listed, and select Next: Add Section. This will create the Course and add it to the modals for others to select in future.
- Search for and select an existing Section from the modal. Remember, Sections represent a Course during a specific term and academic year, so you may need to add a new Section if you do not see yours in the list.
- If you are entering a new Section, provide the Section Number, Active Period, and Term and select Add Section.
- For each Course added to an Activity, provide the hours per term enrolled students contribute, the integrated pedagogies, and the student learning objectives addressed.
- You can affiliate multiple Courses with a single Activity by selecting Link Another Section.
Step 3: Publish your Course
- When you submit your Activity, any Courses you identified are sent along with it for review and approval by your Collaboratory's Moderators.
- Once the Course is approved, it will be available for the public to view via searches and profiles. You will receive email notifications updating you on this process.

« Wheatchex report Marty Weiser | Main | Wheatchex report Bob Yanecek »
Wheatchex report Mark Howe
June 9, 2008he SPARC Wheat-Chex launch was expanded to 3-days this year to accommodate assisting the Midway Elementary School 5th graders in launching their classroom built models. It's a good thing we made it a 3-day affair because the weather on Friday (although very windy), sure did beat the rain we had for most of Saturday! I arrived in plenty of time to assist with range-setup , which was completed before the arrival of two busloads of anxious/excited kids.
Helping the school kids on Friday was a blast, and since Bob Y has been working with the school for the past 5 years, the teachers were quite seasoned and practically ran the whole show! A bunch (70+) of Alpha based rockets, with all kinds of modifications, took to the skies. The SPARC members who attended put up demo flights of higher powered motors and different types of airframes and recovery systems. Sadly, the much requested "Porta-Pot-Shot" and my gliders were grounded due to the windy conditions. I was able to launch my A.C.M.E. Spitfire (crooked "Far Side Cartoon") rocket, and two helicopter recovery rockets...the 2nd one managing to bounce off my car during its' landing. My total # of flights for Friday numbered 11, all of them within the 1/2A thru C range (except for one "D", the Spitfire) due to the wind. I think I took second place for most launches...losing only to Joe Cooney...again! Joe served as Launch Director for the weekend and did a fine job...especially keeping the fire going during the damp weather. (Hope you enjoy the grateful Dead CD's I made for ya...) Friday's pot-luck meal was a Cajun themed event, and if anyone went away hungry it was their own fault...everything was excellent! The rain/drizzle started coming down consistently after dinner, so I hunkered down in my one man tent around 8:45 for the night. Rumor has it that the skies were "crystal clear and blue" at 4AM on Sat, but since I am a late riser I missed it. Got my sorry butt out of bed around 8AM to heavy overcast skies. Three rockets has already been launched before I poked my head out of the tent. I decided to pack most of the sleeping gear into the car, which was a good thing because the drizzle started shortly thereafter. I only managed one flight on Sat. It was an Estes Mean Machine with dual CHAD stages (D12-0, D12-0, D12-5). Had a bit too much angle on the pad and it arced heavily during the 2nd & 3rd stages into the wind. Thanks to the extra long shock cord no zippering occurred, and it landed on the ground ~15' into the tree line to the south. WHEW! Decided to pack it in for the day as the weather didn't look like it was going to cooperate. I hadn't planned on returning Sunday, but with a shortened Saturday, and the fact the my tent was sopping wet, I decided to leave it at the site and return the next day (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!). Sunday dawned with slightly cloudy skies...but lots of blue as well! Arrived at the launch site around 9:30...I'm sure I had already missed a number of rocket flights/racks. Turnout was respectable throughout the day, with some new faces appearing in the early afternoon (midway school families???). I managed to put up 12 flights. No helicopters this time, but I did get a few gliders up in the air. My Edmonds Twinsee on a B4-2 took the gliders for a nice looong glide. Thanks to Bob, Jim, and Mark for assisting in recovery of the bird that went eastward...I had concentrated my efforts on the one that went to the north. (The only thing I really hate about dual gliders is not being able to track them both...) I flew a couple of "odd-rocks"... a Porta-Pot Shot (the winds were not as strong as on Friday), and my 'Mariners" themed "Pop-Fly" (A foam baseball bat with a ball on top). Got the second flight of my Semroc/Estes "Golden Scout" into the air, and for the first time in as long as I can remember I actually launched the same rocket twice in one day. It was the Semroc/Centuri "Point" which uses a "Rigid Chute" (i.e. hollow cone) recovery system. The cone/shroud acted like a megaphone and amplified the small model engine ("B4" for the 1st flight and "C6" for the 2nd) sound. This kit was originally produced for a three year run in 1969 thru 1971...I'm glad Semroc decided to reproduce it! I thought I was going to win the prang award when my Estes space shuttle did a quick exit "stage left" and landed at the base of the spectator group before ejecting the motor mount towards the LCO table. Luckily I was "upstaged" by Lou Bragg and his "Purple People Eater" on an "I" something which came in ballistic just behind the spectator line...I think the only salvageable part was the motor casing. Joel Phillips was also in the running when he lawn darted his nice model (I forget the engine used), which buried itself well into the ground before ejecting the fuselage 5' into the air...no damage to Joel's rocket, however. Lou and Joel had many successful flights during the weekend...unfortunately it's only the failures that tend to get stuck in my mind... There were way too many flights to recount here, I never seen the flight card holder so stacked before. Hopefully the various fliers will send in their own flight/launch reports. Dave Glass have a beautiful flight on his ¼ scale Goddard Hoop Skirt, as well as his "Get the Lead out" (pencil rocket) and I believe his first ever "kit" based rocket, a Terrier Sandhawk which he modified for true 2-stage operation. (Gotta make sure the booster in not stable during re-entry, Dave!) It was nice to see Dave Luders with his crew, and to meet Mark Lyons for the first time...he had some great rockets and flights. I especially liked his "Hip to be square" rocket, which was made out of a rain gutter downspout and obviously rectangular in shape. The Rambergs also joined up for Sunday and had a nice array of rockets. I took particular interest in their "Red Baron" glider from Squirrel Works, and may just have to go out and buy one! Someone showed up with an Estes Gyroc clone, which flew great with helicopter recovery...mine is almost finished...I just need to attached the elastic for the fin tabs. So that about wraps it up for Wheat-Chex from my point of view. I assisted with range tear-down and was on my way home by 5:45PM. I put up 24 flights over a 3-day span (2-days, actually, with Sat being a wash-out). Need to work on repairing a couple of damaged rockets, and get to work on a few new builds ( a six foot "foam cup" rocket, and a 2-stage saucer shaped rocket...) I Can't believe the next SPARC launch isn't until November...not sure I can wait that long... Best regards, Mark W. Howe

WORKSHOP: Efficiency & Distributed Energy Resources
In this workshop, we will dive into the changing needs of the Midwest's power sector and the role of distributed resources in effective load management. Energy efficiency is crucial to creating a successful pathway for any state's clean energy or carbon-reducing goals, yet recent plans do not have a clear vision for how these policy proposals work together with distributed energy resources. Looking at electric vehicle charging, micro-grids, battery storage, and other technologies, this workshop will not only identify barriers to growing these distributed resources, but also design positive policy frameworks that Midwest policymakers and regulators could adopt for incorporating these technologies to achieve a well-managed, efficient energy grid.

365 Sports Network currently features dozens and dozens of interviews with a mixture of athletes and we will continue to publish more and more interviews as time goes on. If you are interested in being interviewed and if you are an athlete either in the college or professional ranks please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will communicate for a possible interview.
Justin David Kish: Thank you so much for your time Ray. Can you please tell us a little bit about yourself for the fans who are not familiar with you?
Ray Buchanan Jr. : I was born in Louisville, KY and raised in Atlanta, GA. I grew up playing football since I was 6; watching and learning from my dad who played in the NFL for 12 years. I have a beautiful wife and son.
Justin David Kish: You played your college career at Arkansas but you transferred to University of Northern Iowa. Tell us about your college football career?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: Coming into the SEC under Bobby Petrino and his staff was a great experience. We ended up having a coaching change after my first season. When the scandal with Petrino went down, we had interim Coach John L. Smith, then head Coach Brett Bielema. After that, I decided I would have a better opportunity elsewhere. That's when I decided to transfer to Northern Iowa after my second season. I learned and experienced great competition throughout my career in the SEC and MVFC.
Justin David Kish: Football has been in your blood since you were born. Your father is a former 3rd round NFL Draft pick by the Colts in 1993. How big of a role has your father been in your football career?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: Yes, football is in my DNA, and my dad plays a big role in my football career. He has helped me be technically sound since I was young. He also helps prepare me to be professional on the field, as well as teaching me to be a man and role model off the field.
Justin David Kish: At Northern Iowa you were coached by defensive coordinator Jeremiah Johnson and defensive backs coach Olaitan Oguntodu. How has the coaching staff at UNI improved you as a player over the years?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: I was coached by Brandon Lynch, the Defensive Backs coach, while I was there. In addition to my previous knowledge, he has taught me different techniques. And Coach Bryce Paup (Defensive Line) helped mentor me as well. They both have been in the NFL, so they know what it takes to succeed.
Justin David Kish: During your college career you have played against tough competition. When you look back at your career what was one game that really took you to your limits and brought out the very best in you?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: I would say when I played versus Western Illinois my senior year. I knew we were facing the best QB and WR in our league. I followed and matched up versus their best WR for the majority of the game. It brought out my savviness and energy to compete against some of the best competition.
Justin David Kish: As a defensive back you are tasked to covering some of the nations best receivers. What receiver was a ultimate challenge for you?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: Adding onto the last question, WR Lance Lenoir from Western Illinois was the toughest competition I faced. He was the leading receiver in the conference and was an all-around athlete with a lot of strength. I held him to 13 yards and 3 passes defended.
Justin David Kish: During your college career you created a number of memorable memories with your brothers. What is one memory that really sticks out from the rest?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: I would say my sophomore year when we beat NDSU. We broke their 33 game win streak.
Justin David Kish: You are now focusing on the NFL Draft. How has preparation for the draft been and who are you currently training with?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: My dad has been prepping me for the NFL for some time now, and being able to make plays when I step on the field has helped a lot. I recently won Defensive MVP at the 2017 College Gridiron Showcase in front of multiple NFL scouts which should help as well. I'm currently training with my dad at Chip Smith performance at Hammersmith in Atlanta, GA. We do DB drills with my dad, speed and agility/combine prep with Chip, and then a group lift Monday through Friday. It's definitely the grind.
Justin David Kish: What are some of your strength's and weakness's?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: My strengths are my play-making ability. My dad was a ball hawk, so I am always around the ball as well. I have great hips, because they allow me to have the quickness to run with receivers, go in and out of breaks, and make plays in space. My dad built me to be tough, so being physical is not a problem. I would like to improve on offensive alignments and route recognition.
Justin David Kish: You played both safety and cornerback at NIU, which position are you focusing and wanting to play at the next level?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: I'm focusing on playing Cornerback and Nickel in the NFL, as well as making plays on Special Teams.
Justin David Kish: In the next couple of questions I am going to put you on the line. My first question. If you could compare yourself to any current professional football defensive back who would you compare yourself to and why?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: I would say Chris Harris Jr. Because he is physical and makes plays in space. He's a ball hawk and covers #1 WR in the slot and outside.
Justin David Kish: My next question. If I was an NFL General Manager, why should I draft Ray Buchanan Jr?
Ray Buchanan Jr.: I have play making ability, I am a team player, and I have good character on and off the field. I want show that my hard work ethic pays off. I feel that I don't only belong in the NFL, but that I will succeed and have a long NFL career.
