The official PASS Blog is where you'll find the latest blog posts from PASS community members and the PASS Board. Contributors share their thoughts and discuss a wide variety of topics spanning PASS and the data community.
Looking for the latest blog posts? We've recently moved the PASS Blog to its new home at https://www.pass.org/PASSBlog.aspx. You can still view older blog posts here but please update your bookmarks so you can continue getting the latest posts from the PASS Blog.
With PASS Summit just over 40 days away, we are excited to be announcing this year's detailed scheduled to attendees today. Our team is continuing to put the final touches on the on-site experiences and events and in doing so, have made changes to the social programs at this year's PASS Summit. These changes are intended to continue to improve the attendee experience and provide opportunities for you, the attendee, to enjoy 'Summit week' both at the Washington State Convention Centre and around Seattle.
During our annual planning and budgeting, the Board reviewed the Summit program including feedback from attendee surveys and sponsor feedback. We found that while PASS continued to balance content delivery with social programs during Summit that people were bouncing from evening event to evening event as a result of the official and unofficial parties during Summit. As a result, we have decided to not host the Community Appreciation Party this year at Summit and offer a free night to attendees. We will continue to host the First Timers Event and Welcome Reception on Tuesday evening and the Exhibitor Reception on Wednesday evening.
The Board deliberated on this decision, considering the pros and cons of hosting the party and looking at alternatives. The Community Appreciation Party is a significant investment for PASS and over the past few years have realized that it was competing with vendors and partners holding their own events. People were also often forced to miss events or divide their time among the numerous sponsor, vendor and community events hosted on the Thursday night, as well as Community Appreciation Party.
So what does this mean for our attendees? It means that Thursday night will now be a more casual night, with a wider variety of opportunities for Summit attendees. We will work to support vendors and sponsors in promoting their events and are also happy for attendees to organize their own activities, which we will also include and promote on the PASS Summit 2016 website. Please note that any social activities listed on the website must adhere to the PASS Anti-Harassment Policy.
While this is a change to the Summit experience, we believe that new experiences can be created this year. Our hope is that you will take advantage of the choices available to you – including hosting or organizing your own social activity. Please reach out to have your activity included on the PASS Summit website, or provide feedback in the comments below.

Country Switzerland
Race website http://www.berglauf.jeizinen.ch
Distance 6 km
Elevation 885 m
The race starts on the sunny side of the Rhone Valley in the town of Gampel right by the gondola depart. After 600 m through the town, the trail starts with an average of 15% gradient. The wide path allows you to risk looking back down into the valley. The second half is less severe, with pastures and forests to traverse. The end in Jeizinen is rewarded by finding your bag that will have arrived with the gondola! Enjoy the rest of the day in the well-preserved Valaisan village complete with wooden chalets. You can ride back to Gampel in the gondola. This race is part to the Valaisan Cup series.

MORE COWBELL for Japandroids!
Posted 05/27/2010
I'm just kidding. I've never seen Japandroids use a cowbell before. But they ARE featured in the latest issue of Cowbell Magazine. Jess Harvel wrote a great article about the band's relentless touring schedule with a few quotes from guitarist/vocalist Brian King, such as this one - "We have a band motto - to play every show like it's the last one we're ever going to get to play."

Anadarko withdraws all-stock takeover offer for Apache
Anadarko Petroleum, an independent oil company based in Texas, U.S., recently had a takeover offer for Apache Corporation rejected.
The company on Wednesday said that it had proposed an all-stock transaction, with a modest premium. Anadarko did not precise what "modest" meant. The offer, whatever it was, was rejected by Apache.
Anadarko's Chairman, President and CEO Al Walker said: "Our efforts to enter into a mutually acceptable confidentiality agreement for the purpose of exploring the merits of a potential transaction were summarily rejected and no discussions of substance occurred."
Walker said that Anadarko was unwilling to pursue the transaction without access to detailed non-public information. He said that according to Anadarko's analysis, Apache appears to trade at or near full value currently, and the offer was withdrawn.

If your home is heated by gas, you may be getting large winter heating bills. Here are some tips to trim them.
Gas home heating generally is comfortable and safe, but it can be costly, especially if you own a home and have a family. Here are a few suggestions that may be helpful.
1. Set the thermostat lower by day and by night. When everyone is sleeping, set the temperature gauge to 62 degrees. When they get up, crank it up to 70. Unless your house is especially drafty, your family should not get too uncomfortable with these temperatures. Remind everyone to put on a sweater and wear slippers if they get chilly. It doesn't hurt to sleep in warm flannels and socks, either. Throw an extra blanket or quilt on the bed, and be sure children keep warm.
2. Set your hot water tank to a lower temperature. While some people prefer it at 115 to 120 degrees, you may be able to reduce the gauge to 105 degrees or so. Check with your hot water tank maintenance person to be sure that is a safe temperature for your family. If so, it may save several dollars on your monthly gas bill. Use the hot wash and warm or cool rinse functions for laundry and dishes, which also will save money, as opposed to both a hot wash and rinse. Avoid the dishwasher dry option, as the dishes can air dry instead and save gas heating costs for this task, too.
3. Check window moldings to be sure they are tight and solid. Replace rotted or moldy areas to prevent cold air from seeping inside. Inspect thresholds under each entrance door by placing your hand at that level to check for cold air. Put a snake-length fabric door stop against any doorways that are wide enough to permit air to pass through.
4. Turn down the thermostat when you leave the house by day or overnight. Keeping it set at 60 degrees or so should protect water pipes from freezing, and will restrict warm air wastage.
5. Restrict warm air from unused areas. Have the chimney inspected to be sure it doesn't let in an unusual amount of cold air. Keep the flue closed when the fireplace is not in use. Close vents and doors to unused rooms.
6. Avoid opening and closing windows and doors throughout the day. If possible, limit exits and entrances to groups of family members to prevent cold air from sweeping in each time someone arrives or leaves.
7. If you must open the house windows for fresh air, crack them an inch or two. You need just enough of an opening to let cool air in without letting all the heated house air escape.
Chipping away at your monthly gas bill a little at a time may not seem like much effort, but you'll be happy to see those small adjustments accumulate on your next statement. Encourage each family member to lend a hand, and then take everyone out for pizza with the money you save.

An international project aims to enable the next great scientific advances in global marine research by making marine data sets more easily accessible to researchers worldwide.
Currently different data formats between research centers pose a challenge to oceanographic researchers, who need unified data sets to get the most complete picture possible of the ocean. This project, called ODIP II, aims to solve this problem using NERC's world-class vocabulary server to 'translate' between these different data semantics. The vocabulary server, which is effectively now an international standard for a service of this kind, was developed by the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC); a national facility operated as part of the National Oceanography Centre (NOC).
The Head of BODC Dr. Graham Allen, which is leading the vocabularies aspect of ODIP II, said "This project will open up the possibilities of global marine research. For example, if scientists could access all the data on ocean temperature from, say, the North Sea, they would get a much more comprehensive insight into changes in ocean circulation there. Data management innovations like this enable the next big global scientific advances to happen."
ODIP II is a collaboration between the USA, Australia and the EU, which are led by British Geological Survey and MARIS (Netherlands). The EU's Horizon2020 program has provided €2M for this project. By the time ODIP II is complete, in May 2018, it aims to have developed a means of seamlessly sharing and managing marine data between the EU, the USA and Australia, by co-ordinating the existing regional marine e-infrastructures.
Helen Glaves of British Geological Survey, who is leading ODIP II welcomed the extension: "ODIP has already succeeded in demonstrating a coordinated approach to the sharing of marine data on a global scale through the development of prototypes. This new funding will not only allow these prototype solutions to become fully operational, but will also enable the scope of the current project to be widened."

Starting Position: Find a pull-up bar. Grab the bar wider than shoulder width apart using the overhand grip. Hang from the bar. Bend you legs up, so they do not hit the ground.
Performing the exercise: Pull yourself up so the top of your chest almost hits the bar. Slowly return all the way down.
Pullup Tips
- Do not swing your legs, remain straight and balanced
- Make sure you perform a complete rep, all the way up and down
- Add weight using a dip belt to increase the resistance

text: 1. A kleptoparasitic spider, Argyrodes kumadai, is known to use phylogenetically unrelated host species in different regions - Cyrtophora moluccensis (Araneidae) in south-west Japan and Agelena silvatica (Agelenidae) in north-east Japan. The work reported here examined whether differences in host characters affect prey acquisition of A. kumadai. 2. Field surveys showed that prey-biomass capture rate of Argyrodes was significantly higher in populations parasitising Cyrtophora than in populations parasitising Agelena. Although Argyrodes appeared to catch fewer prey within Cyrtophora webs, they were able to feed upon substantially larger prey. 3. Differences in prey-biomass capture rate were found to reflect differences in host traits rather than regional differences in potential prey availability. Individuals in populations parasitising Cyrtophora were observed to acquire prey via a number of foraging tactics that included stealing wrapped food bundles, feeding upon prey remains and, in the case of large prey items, feeding together with the host. In contrast, individuals in populations parasitising Agelena were only ever observed to feed upon small prey items ignored by its host. 4. This variability in prey acquisition between kleptoparasite populations reflected different opportunities for feeding within their respective host webs - opportunities that were primarily determined by the foraging behaviour of the host. One key trait associated with host foraging behaviour was host-web structure, namely the presence/absence of a retreat.

Chelmsley Wood Partnership Plus
The Chelmsley Wood Partnership Plus Area is a focus for intensive partnership working by the Solihull Partnership, hence the title of partnership plus area, and is part of the North Solihull regeneration area. It comprises Chelmsley Wood Town Centre and surrounding residential neighbourhoods.
The socio-economic indicators for this Area reflect this status with all measures less favourable than the Solihull average. The area lies mainly in the Chelmsley Wood and Fordbridge electoral wards. The majority of the Lower Super Output areas within the area are in the 10% most deprived of neighbourhoods in the country and the remainder are in the 20% most deprived nationally. The Ward Profiles for the wider electoral wards can be found here and here.
The area has a number of natural assets including the Cole River valley and is also within two miles of the major employment assets of Birmingham International Airport and the National Exhibition Centre. Its also has several community assets, with capacity for more extensive use. That the range and take up of community services could be developed is a focus of current partnership action.

Students across the UK are regretting going to university, according to new research by Barclays Apprenticeships. The survey had more than 2,500 respondents - current university students and those who have left university in the last five years, parents whose children went to university as well as views from employers.
Almost half (48%) of students and graduates who left university in the last five years say they regret their decision to go to university and 44% say they do not need a degree to do their current job.
The study reveals that 65% of young people felt under pressure to go to university, with a third (34%) citing this as coming from their parents and a fifth (19%) saying it was from their friends. A shocking 70% felt their parents would have been disappointed if they had not gone to university and when asked their reasons for choosing university, almost a fifth (18%) admitted they only went to please their parents.
Despite their offspring's worries, over half (54%) of parents of students and graduates say they would not have been disappointed had their child not gone to university and instead considered other routes. In fact, 71% said they would actually encourage their child to do an apprenticeship over a university degree, revealing a significant shift in attitudes compared to Barclays Apprenticeships' 2016 survey, when 65% of parents felt university was the best option for their child. Parents are also becoming increasingly knowledgeable about higher education with 64% of those polled now aware of degree level apprenticeships, compared to only 17% in 2016.
Fear of not being able to get a job after university was a prominent worry for 42% of young people who did (or are doing) a degree and 58% cited improve their job prospects as the reason for obtaining a degree. However, 70% of employers said they valued degree apprenticeships as highly as a university degree and 96% say they would hire someone who had done an apprenticeship or a degree via the apprenticeship route.
Educators' attitudes are changing too, with almost half (42%) of those surveyed saying teachers discussed apprenticeships as an alternative career route, compared to under a quarter (24%) in 2016.
Mike Thompson, Head of Apprenticeships at Barclays and a member of the Government's Apprenticeship Delivery Board comments; "The significant increase in tuition fees and student debt has created a significant shift in attitudes towards university, as illustrated by our research. It's encouraging to see that students, parents, employers and teachers are all considering alternatives to the traditional university route, especially with the introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy opening up apprenticeship opportunities across the UK.
"We now need to work hard to further banish any stigma attached to apprenticeships, especially amongst students who may worry their parents perceive this as a 'disappointing' choice, which is simply not the case."
Apprenticeships and Skills Minister Anne Milton said: "Our universities are world-class, but there are other routes to a successful career. We want to change the perception that one route is better than any other. Doing an apprenticeship brings amazing opportunities..."

I generally agree with the message here, and feel that for a lot of people (myself included) time at Uni could have been better spent working, travelling or living in another country. I would like to see this research conducted by someone who wasn't invested in seeing a pro-apprenticeship outcome too. Has the ISE conducted any similar surveys?

Sheet metal parts are thin-plate hardware, that is, parts that can be processed by means of stamping, bending, stretching, etc. A general definition is a part with constant thickness during processing, such as Automotive Sheet Metal Stampings. That is, some metal sheets are plastically deformed by hand or die stamping to form a desired shape and size, and further complicated parts can be formed by welding or a small amount of machining.

Under the condition of ensuring normal use, try to make the Automotive Sheet Metal Stampings have lower dimensional accuracy grade and surface roughness grade requirements, and facilitate product interchange, reduce waste and ensure product quality stability.
Meet product use and technical performance, and easy to assemble and repair.
The shape is simple and the structure is reasonable, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the mold and simplify the number of processes, that is, to complete the processing of the entire part with a small and simple stamping process, and reduce the processing by other methods.

Sweet Potatoes Gnocchi In Hearty Tuna Chowder
And here's what I did.
Ingredients for Sweet Potatoes Gnocchi : (serve 2-3 persons)
Kristy, I never have this b4, so curious to know how is it taste like :).ReplyDelete
I never have this b4 too, but it look nice and good.ReplyDelete
Hey Kristy, they look so cute, like snails.ReplyDelete
And another success! Love the combination with tuna. Great photos! I need to learn to make better gnocchi with you!ReplyDelete
I've never heard of sweet gnocchi! I always thought it was only served with a savoury sauce! haha...that sounds so cool! This looks and sounds really yummy =) I made gnocchi for the first time yesterday (with normal potatoes)- it was so fun! I'll havcve to try it with sweet potatoes one day- I love the colour and it sounds delicious too!ReplyDelete

I will have to try again.....soon :D The sweet version is very delicious but I love your savoury version very much, too. Thanks very much for the mention. Hope you have a great day!ReplyDelete

Cheers, Kristy
Kristy, you are one of best cooks I have known! Sweet potato gnocchi...wow..that's something!ReplyDelete
I think w/o cheese in the gnocchi will be better.
I've eaten gnocchi at Shook, Starhill and I felt so cloyed. I think it's due to the cheese in it.
I can only imagine how delicious this must have been! Yum! Fabulous this time of year!!ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Kristy...in all honesty...regular potato gnocchi never excited me much. However, with them being made with sweet potato instead...there may be hope yet ;o)
The pics look wonderful Kristy.
Ciao for now,
Mouthwatering! That is one gorgeous dish. I love your pasta board.
Awesome!! I have got some sweet potatoes @home and I was looking for a good recipe. This looks really yummy; I will try to make this. Thanks for posting it.ReplyDelete
à base de patate douce!!! ça doit être un vrai délice
il ne maque plus que l'invitation :-)
bonne soirée
Oh I love making sweet potato gnocchi! I served it last year at Thanksgiving with a sage-brown butter. Yours looks beautiful and perfect!ReplyDelete
what a varying flavor, between the sweet potato gnocchi and a tuna flavored bisque - what imagination ... greatReplyDelete
We just had our first gnocchi meal tonight! Loved it! Ours was store bought gnocchi though. =) Future goal: make our own!ReplyDelete
I LOVE gnocchi and always order them if they are on the menu in a restaurant. It's been way too long since I made some... Sweet potato gnocchi sound perfect!ReplyDelete
Angie : Oh so sweet of you to say that! I don't think I'm the best but I'm sure we're all great cook! Yeap, we are Super Housewives!
Wendy : From my opinion, I still think it's much better if we use tapioca starch in the mixing. The dough stands well and the texture is more firm.
Emily : Thank you!
Claudia : Me too! I think pumpkin should works terrific as well. Glad that you like it too.
Rosa : Thank you!
Gourmet Foodie : You're welcome! Hope you will like it. All the best.
Fimere : Merci, glad that you like it too.
Abbey : Thank you! I'm sure you going to make it again this year but with pumpkin! ^_^
Drick : This is for REAL! Not a FAKE one! ^_^
Chef : Wish you all the best and have fun!
Andrea : Yeap, it is! I think the origin sweetness of it just marvellous to go along with any sauce or soup.
Thank you all for stopping by and spending your time here with me.
And glad to know that you all like this recipe too. Hope you'll enjoy the making and have fun.
Cheers, Kristy

Another fantastic Northern Beaches Network event on 27 October on "How To Make Appointments Using Social Media" with Robert Leroux from iSapience Digital and "Collaborating To Grow Your Business" from Jillian Daniels from the Bagtrader.
Robert Leroux from iSapience Digital shared how you can use LinkedIn in a structured and measurable way to make connections, generate leads and make appointments. It all starts with building and demonstrating your expertise by enhancing your profile. Your profile should be presented more like a sales document rather than a resume. It should demonstrate the value that you have created for your clients, employers and the value you can bring to potential clients. By using the "Advanced" search feature, you can create a list of your potential customers. From this list, you then establish meaningful connections and conversations with the intention to eventually take your conversations with your connections offline.
Jillian Daniels from Bag Trader shared with us how she found and collaborated with people on Instagram who were aligned to her brand. This helped grow her online business exponentially. Jillian first established her brand identity and target audience and then focused on finding and collaborating with people who were aligned to her brand and target market. Through collaboration she found the right people to act as product ambassadors which helped grow the profile of her brand, reach out to her target audience and increased her sales.
Our thank you to the Beach Club Collaroy for the wonderful venue and to Karen Newall from Karen Newall Photography for the great photos.

"The State Pattern allows an object to alter its behavior when its internal state changes. The object will appear to change it's class." - Head First Design Pattern
Head First Design Patterns (Head First) by Elisabeth Freeman, Eric Freeman, Bert Bates, Kathy Sierra
Let's say I've got a point of sale terminal used for processing financial transactions. Let's say that at any given time the terminal can be in 1 of 6 states. Those states are:
Idle State: During this state an idle message is displayed on the screen of the POS terminal.
Card Swiped State: The terminal enters this state when a card is swiped.
Amount Entered State: The terminal enters this state when the transaction amount is entered.
PIN Entered State: The terminal enters this state when the customer enters their PIN.
Processing Transaction State: The terminal enters this state when it connects to a financial processor to process the transaction.
Transaction Approved State: The terminal enters this state when the transaction has been process and has been approved.
Transaction Rejected State: The terminal enters this state when the transaction was processed but was rejected.
Let's pretend the following is the client code that will use the point of sale terminal to process transactions.
IPosTerminal terminal = new PosTerminal( );
terminal.SwipeCard( "6278080000008205" );
terminal.EnterAmount( 99.99 );
terminal.EnterPin( "8012" );
terminal.ProcessTransaction( );
terminal.PrintReceipt( );
When the PosTerminal is first constructed it is immediate put into an Idle State which displays an idle message to screen. The PosTerminal has a property of type IState that all the concrete state types implement.
As actions are performed against the PosTerminal, they are delegated to the current state.
public void SwipeCard( string cardNumber ) {
_currentState.SwipeCard( cardNumber );
public void EnterAmount( double amount ) {
_currentState.EnterAmount( amount );
public void EnterPin( string pin ) {
_currentState.EnterPin( pin );
public void AuthorizeTransaction( ) {
_currentState.ProcessTransaction( );
public void PrintReceipt( ) {
_currentState.PrintReceipt( );
public void ProcessTransaction( ) {
_currentState.ProcessTransaction( );
In this implementation I've made it the concrete state types responsibility to transition to the next state. For example the IdleState might look like:
public void SwipeCard( string cardNumber ) {
_terminal.Transaction = new PosTransaction( );
_terminal.Transaction.Date = DateTime.Now;
_terminal.Transaction.CardNumber = cardNumber;
_terminal.CurrentState = new CardSwipedState( _terminal );
public void EnterAmount( double amount ) {
Console.Out.WriteLine( "Please swipe a card first." );
With the state pattern you can re-order states and alter the implementation of a state with out having to change the subject of the state.

In this article, you are going to be shown the reality about having black or white complexion in the light of history, thinking and interest of the current era.
Since the beginning of the world black color face is not desired and adored whereas white color face is always admirable what owns magnetic influence so that the eyes of people actually have to look into this. Black and white are two different things. Here it is not expressed that black is bad or white is good; there is a truism to be expressed about what is admired and what is not.
Because of the weather and places of globe, there are different skin textures but black as well as white tones are widely recognized. The tones of colors sometimes discriminate between two things good-looking and ill-looking, but by this ill-looking, it does not mean evil, harm or terrible look.
Comparison between white and black elaborates that there is huge difference between white and black; to a great extent white is adored and to some extent black is appreciated. They both are made by God and he knows and sees better than all that what the reason is that white and black color are different things.
In the light of wisdom, eye ball is usually black sometimes is brown and hardly is blue or green; eye ball sees a face which is blond. It likes being content to be near to white skin. It is not hundred present sure that dark cannot be revered.
In the Middle East, and several countries of Asia such as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Nepal, women are not considered beautiful and to some civilizations do not consider men and women good-looking despite the fact owning black skin texture.
It is a problem that for the purpose of tying the knot, many girls are rejected due to having dark complexion even though they have decent personality and appearance. It is not a current era issue because all must have heard from ancestors that white skin is the most desirable in the subcontinent.
Majority of those who are not having white color, they feel complex and are not be satisfied with their skin complexion, especially in subcontinent and go for the ways to make their skin fair. Strictly speaking, they feel like having blond skin.
Nowadays by advertising on television and broadcast it has been come known that almost all and sundry are fanatic to cross the race of getting white color; craze of getting fair skin is not only frequent in female but male also. There is no cream, or cosmetic product to blacken the texture of people in the market; it proves that no one agrees to have black complexion.
By many advertisements regarding getting fair skin, it has been known that people have inquisitiveness to get fair; they have gaiety to be blond and this may be the tradition of current time especially young generation is keen on this. There has been observed that girls and boys who are very young are very fond of applying different types of creams, lotions and other cosmetics for getting luminous skin.
Some lack confidence partly because of having black complexion. According to the some commercials, at the time of interview, sometimes they are rejected. This is somehow true but not hundred percent right because it has never been seen in real. Well, an advertisement is just a trick to sell something after knowing your interest.
Finally, these are provided by the nature, both are having some exotic effectiveness upon all, the desire and interest are towards white when it is question of likeness. In the last, it very important to know that more than ninety-five percent poets, thinkers and philosophers appreciated white skin in their statements, saying as well as poetry.

Lady Celts fall at South Salem
By DEREK WILEY
Of the Keizertimes
SALEM—Down by three points with 30 seconds to go, McNary had a shot at South Salem, just no one would take it.
After passing the ball around the 3-point line for nearly 25 seconds, Saxons freshman point guard Hilary James stole it, knocked down one of two free throws and the Lady Celts fell on the road 39-35 on Tuesday, Feb. 13.
"We've had very few end of the game situations," McNary head coach Elizabeth Doran said. "We wanted to get to the basket if we could and draw contact, score quick.You've got to want it at the end of the game. You can't be passive. We made five or six passes and we had open shots and nobody wanted it right at the end."
The Lady Celts trailed 34-28 with 4:12 remaining in the game when Kailey Doutt made a free throw and Abbie Hawley knocked down a 3-pointer to get McNary within 34-32. Doutt then hit a jump shot to tie the game at 34-34 with 1:43 to go.
After South Salem made two free throws, Doutt went 1-for-2 from the line. The Lady Saxons then missed the front end of an one-and-one but McNary couldn't grab the rebound. South Salem made two more free throws to stretch its lead to three points with 30 seconds remaining.
Getting out-rebounded against South Salem, which had five players taller than anyone on the Lady Celts, was a problem for McNary all night.
"They had 16 rebounds in the second half and we had 19 the whole game," Doran said. "They do have a size advantage but rebounding is about heart, too. You've got to get in there and rebound. You can't just take one shot and that be the possession."
The Lady Celts led for most of the first quarter before South Salem began to take control in the second and led 30-23 at halftime.
"We started the ball game pretty well and we had a streak there towards the end but we've got to put four quarters together," Doran said.
McNary didn't score in the final 4 minutes of the second quarter.
"They got into an extended zone on us and we wanted to get to the high post area," Doran said. "We were just being a little too passive. We let their extension and their arms out kind of bother us and we weren't making the passes that we wanted to make."
Doutt scored 18 points to lead the Lady Celts. Hawley added 12. No one else scored more than three.
The top 16 teams in the OSAA power rankings host a first round playoff game. McNary entered the game 15th but dropped to 17th with the loss. The Lady Celts final two games are at No. 29 West Salem on Friday, Feb. 16 and then at home on Tuesday, Feb. 20 versus No. 12 McMinnville.
"These next two games are huge," Doran said. "We've got to regroup and take care of a couple things defensively and rebounding wise and take care of business these next two games. We've got to enjoy, too. The end of the season is wrapping up and we've got some seniors that have played four years. We've got to have fun and play together these last two league games. We've just got to fight together and have fun while we're doing it, too."

It is a therapy created by the Japanese physician Keizo Hashimoto (1897-1993).
Sotai Ho is a therapy of Japanese origin whose purpose is the recovery of the correct structural balance of the body reaching an optimal state of physical health and therefore achieve optimize mental health.
This therapy is based on the concept that the human body is a great dynamic architecture (mobile architecture) whose operation has no flaws when following healthy living standards. The Sotai Ho takes as main elements to achieve an optimal state of health the following factors: the breathing, the feeding, the movement and the thought. The fluidity of structural dynamics is the key to maintaining health. When this fluidity is lost, there may be ambiguous symptoms such as discomfort or deafness that, however slight, can alter the whole of our body architecture. And in many cases, the cause is not determined in the medical consultation.
Some Sotai ho® exercises can be practiced alone (self-Sotai). However, it is necessary to learn them first with professional therapists who explain the essential details for the exercises to be effective, guiding the patients' body to the specific movements of the Sotai Ho.
Sotai Ho, thanks to its holistic treatment, can have beneficial effects in various discomforts such as:
Back, neck and shoulder pain
Menstrual pain
Sports injuries
Post-operative pain
It is held on a Saturday a month, during 4 hours and on the following nine Saturdays of 2017 and 2018. The schedule is from 15.30 to 19.30 and will be taught at the Japanese Shiatsu School in Madrid.

Gabby's comments follow outrage in a section of the public over a 30-member committee instituted by the president to organise the event.
While some Ghanaians are of the view that the size of the committee is an indication that the government plans to spend heavily on the event, others are of the view that the event should not be organised at all.
But weighing in on the development on Facebook, Gabby said the celebration should not lead to wastage of public money.

What are the benefits of dental bonding?At the practice of Drs. Kosta J. Adams and Kristen J. Adams, Sacramento area patients can seek treatment for a myriad of issues with their smiles. These concerns may include overall health and wellness of the smile as well as appearance. Cosmetic dentistry is a field of dentistry that continues to grow as patients realize how affordable and attainable many of these procedures can be. Our team of professionals can assist individuals in learning about procedures such as dental bonding that can dramatically enhance the smile.
Dental bonding is one of many cosmetic procedures performed in our practice. Dental bonding is the application of a composite resin material onto a tooth to change the way it looks. Sometimes it is used to disguise a gap between teeth, cover a tooth's front surface, or repair a tooth that has been chipped or cracked.
Composite resin bonding is completely safe to use. It is a material that can be hardened with a specialized light and then polished to look like natural tooth enamel. This allows it to be incredibly versatile and used for a wide range of purposes. For some patients, it is a faster and more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers.
The procedure is done right in the dental chair. Patients may have some enamel from their tooth removed to allow room for the material to be placed without adding extra bulk. Then this clay-like substance is applied. Once molded, a specialized light is used to harden it. The dental bonding is filed down and polished, which makes it blend into the structure of the tooth and appear as tooth enamel. It will have the same appearance and shine as a natural tooth, ensuring aesthetic improvement.
Patients in the Sacramento area who are interested in learning about restorative methods of treatment are welcome to contact our team at (916) 999-1302 to book an initial evaluation and consultation appointment with Drs. Kosta J. Adams and Kristen J. Adams. During this visit, patients discuss the concerns they have in regards to the aesthetics and health of their smiles, and then our team can make suggestions based on specific needs. For many patients, dental bonding has several benefits. It can be economical, fast, and beautiful.
Adams Dental Associates in Sacramento, CA considers patients' smiles as their first priority, and offers a range of services that are geared towards making patients feel attractive and confident. Dr. Kosta Adams has decades of experience and expertise. Dr. Kristen Adams has enhanced the practice with her expertise in restorative, periodontal, cosmetic and implant dentistry.

Patient Testimonials
Woke up with a horribly infected tooth on Friday morning. I had not established a relationship with a dentist since moving to Sacramento. Googled emergency dentists and was incredibly fortunate to find Dr. Adams listing. Called them on a Friday afternoon as a new patient and was seen within an hour!!! Two teeth had to be pulled. Dr Adams and Dr Kristen were awesome. I didn't feel a thing....teeth were out quickly and painlessly. Everyone there is incredibly sweet and caring. Everything is spotless and clean - could not have asked for a better experience. I have found my forever Dentist.
~ By Susan S.
They have cared for my teeth for 20+ years. Always warm and very trustworthy. I'd like to share my most recent visit, since it reflects the quality of care they have always provided. So my front tooth had a chipped bottom and my back tooth had a broken filling. First off, he fixed the broken filling without a problem. Next, Dr. Adams walked me through the options we had for the chipped tooth. I asked various questions to address my concerns. His explanations were comforting. For both my teeth issues, he gave me a full idea of what to expect. In the end, both teeth were cared for and function just fine now. No more worrying! I feel comfortable trusting him with caring for my teeth.
~ By Salvatore A.
Like always had a great experience with Dr Adams and Dr Adams. Had two fillings done and was in and out in just over an hour, I liked how they took the time to explain the whole procedure to me and answered all my questions about my teeth. I also enjoyed their good background music. The staff was very friendly and helpful in answering all my billing questions and setting up my next appointment. See you guys next time!!
