Lizzotte is one of Franklin's top returning forwards from last year's league title-winning side and he could make the move up from the second to the first line for the Panthers this season. His energy and tenacity in the offensive zone made him one of Franklin's top scoring threats, as the Panthers advanced to the final of the competitive Mount St. Charles tournament and got a point for the first time against Malden Catholic.
Lizzotte scored nine times and assisted on four other goals, partnering with Zac Falvey on the second line and both are back to keep Franklin rolling into a new season. Lizzotte utilizes his speed to open up space for diagonal passes and is willing to chase pucks into the corners to try and keep the offense going. In addition to league play, Franklin has a schedule loaded with some of the top teams in Div. 1, so Lizzotte and the forwards will need to be firing right from the start to help the Panthers compete with some of the state's best.
Tasker jumped into the mix for Franklin and made a quick impression as a solid performer on the blue line in all three zones, providing big hits and a hard shot from the point. Now as a junior Tasker has solidified himself as a mainstay and one of the leaders of the Panthers defense as they try to continue their dominance in the Kelley-Rex division and make another run in the tournament.
Tasker is a physical presence in the defensive zone but also showed good touch on his outlet passes to get the Panthers into the attack quickly. He scored four goals and had four assists last season and became a dangerous weapon on the power play. After a year of experience on the varsity level, Tasker will be one of the leaders in the back line and keep driving the team forward from the defensive zone. Expectations are high for Franklin defensemen but Tasker seems more than capable of meeting them.
for the other players to watch around the Hockomock League
2017-2018 Record: 12-6-5
2017-2018 Finish: Reached Div. 1 South first round.
Coach: Chris Spillane
Franklin started well last winter, reaching the final of the prestigious Mount St. Charles tournament and taking a point off Malden Catholic for the first time, but the Panthers couldn't carry the momentum throughout the season and were knocked out in the first round of the tournament. As usual, Franklin graduated a lot of players, but also return a strong corps of experienced players to take on arguably the program's toughest regular season schedule, which is loaded with some of the state's top teams.
The Panthers return 11 seniors for this season, including eight forwards, but also have a group of eight sophomores that are jumping up from the JV to contribute on varsity this season. The forward line has plenty of experience and should be able to fire in the goals this year. Seniors Joey Lizotte, Zac Falvey, Scott Elliott, Dan Magazu, and C.J. Spillane will all be able to jump into the top scoring lines after playing major roles last year.
Defensively, the top five defensemen will be juniors Tom Tasker (who was on the HockomockSports.com All-Underclassman Team last year) and Colin Hedvig and seniors Cam Casella, Matt D'Errico, and Evan Forbes. Three sophomores will also see time on the blue line for the Panthers this season. After graduating three senior goaltenders, the job is open to senior Ryan Cameron and junior Ray Ivers, who are both making the jump from JV.
"Our hope is that team speed will drive the offense and that our returning defense will have the experience to make sound decisions in our end," said Franklin coach Chris Spillane. "The boys are looking forward to the upcoming season. I see the Hockomock as an extremely competitive league this year. We will also challenge our boys with a high-end non-league schedule."

At Cowden Automotive, we attend to the specifics of a car. For instance, we have considerable expertise at handling faulty brakes, impaired ACs and defective suspensions. Apart from providing all round check-up, we help our customers to avail of servicing of separate parts. For instance, we attend to the problem of dripping brake fluids and creaking spring joints.
We also help with fixing intricate gear issues. At times the car might suffer congested gear shifts due to limited usage of the part. Lubrication becomes a major issue. Similarly, the clutch box might crop up with regular issues. For that, we may either replace the entire clutch box or the cable. At times it might happen that the clutch has stopped working suddenly. In that case, our mechanics may inject a new fluid in order to cleanse the entire hydraulic system of the clutch.

This is a guide to changing the cloud textures, macrotextures and ambient lighting of your RotWK map. It is a BfME Worldbuilder tutorial.
A lot of my more recent maps for The Age of the Ring use a unique cloud texture or macrotexture where appropriate.
This is what you will need before starting.
Method One
There isn't a way to edit the cloud texture or macrotexture in Worldbuilder. But you can use different cloud textures and macrotextures and here is the easiest way to do that.
- Sort through the vanilla maps for a cloud texture and macrotexture that you want
- Clear the map
- Start creating your new map
Method Two
This is method two, and what I am writing this tutorial on. If you want to edit your map's cloud texture while you are creating your map then you must remember that the texture name must be the same number of characters.
- Edit - Edit Map Settings... - Compression dropdown box
- Save your map with No compression
- Open your map with Notepad++
- Ctrl-F to bring up the Find dialogue
- Type this in to search for it .tga
- If you have plenty of water bodies on your map you will be searching for a while
- Once you find your map's cloud texture select just the name and look below at the status bar of Notepad++, it will give you the selection's character count (the number is after "Sel : " and is the second to last number on the status bar)
- The default cloud texture TSCloudMed.tga has 10 characters in the name TSCloudMed
- Change it to a texture with 10 characters
- If your mod adds new cloud textures I recommend naming them the same length as the default cloud texture, 10 characters
- TSNoiseUrb is the default noise texture, it is 10 characters too, you can change it too
- A list of cloud textures that I found in the games' extracted textures are as follows
9 Characters
10 Characters
11 Characters
- There might be more cloud textures, and there are a few macrotextures in the compiledtextures/ts folder
- As you can see you could also search for "cloud" in the search dialogue
- You can now save your map in Notepad++ and reopen it in Worldbuilder or ingame to test it out.
- You can use the same method seen in the Blue Mountains map or Minhiriath to change the colour of the map by repurposing the macrotexture or the cloud texture. Both have a blend mode, but I am still developing the method and learning what the blend modes do.
Ambient Lighting
In-game, clouds are a form of ambient lighting. Clouds colour everything on the map: objects, terrain and units. For example, in a map like Blue Mountains, the cloud texture is replaced by an ambient lighting map. This texture is coloured black and white, white are areas of the map in light and black are areas of the map in darkness.
The macrotexture colours just the terrain. For example, the Dol Guldur map has ground shading done by a stretched macrotexture. Another example is an unused Minhiriath macrotexture, the map has three sections to it, the Old Forest, a dark and foggy swamp and the green Barrow-downs, each section has a different colour intended to blend with the map.
A picture of the Dol Guldur ambient lighting and as seen on the map with terrain removed.
To set up a cloud texture as ambient lighting follow these instructions. Again you will need the map set to no compression, I work with a map using no compression as it reduces saving time.
- In Worldbuilder click Edit, Edit Map Settings, and set Compression to No compression
- In Notepad or Notepad++ edit the map and click Search, Find, and search for .tga, you will find both TSNoiseUrb.tga and TSCloudMed.tga if you are editing a default map. Noise is for the macrotexture.
- Replace the cloud texture with you ambient lighting texture. The filename must be the same length as the filename already there. TSCloudMed is 10 letters long
- In your mod, the file can be a compressed dds file, and it must be added to the asset.dat like normal textures
- Add the following code to your map.ini
Weather CloudTextureSize = X:1000 Y:1000 CloudOffsetPerSecond = X:-0 Y:-0 End
- CloudTextureSize is the "size in world units that one repetition of the cloud texture spans", this should be the size of your map, or otherwise aligned to where you want the ambient lighting texture to be placed and repeated
- CloudOffsetPerSecond is the "offset in texture units that the cloud texture moves per second", you will want your ambient lighting texture to not move so set it at 0.
Three warnings
- Your map will look bad if you abuse this method by modding in a crazy cloud texture
- Backup your map
- If your map is pink then you've used the wrong texture. Commonly you've got the wrong character length in the name.
Post Effects/Lookup Table/Volume Map [NEW]
Post effects are an extra way to light your map. The effect is applied last and will change all the colours according to a lookup table. For example, you can use the Withered Heath lookup table to desaturate all colours on your map. I assume you've extracted the art files from the game. As above I warn you that this will look bad if you abuse it.
- In World Builder click Edit and then Edit Post Effects
- In the Post Effects Options tick the checkbox to Enable Post Effects
- The dropdown box only has one option, Looup Table. CnC3 has more options there.
- In the Parameters section Blend Factor will change how strong the post effect is and Volume Texture (Lookup Image) is where you choose your lookup table.
- These are the available lookup tables, you can find them in art/compiledtextures and the filenames start with v. The v is for volume map as that is another name for what they are.
- I don't know how to create custom volume maps/lookup tables yet. I believe that the NVIDIA Photoshop plugin has a feature that creates them but I haven't tried it yet. If you know how to make them please reply here or message me.
- I might add some samples of the available cloud textures so you may choose one without as much trial and error.
- I should create another article with details about my advanced methods to creating terrain.

10 February 2017
First planning meeting with all initial participants of Cinema Olanda: Platform, a project at Witte de With scheduled for 17 June - 20 August 2017. This project is initiated by artist Wendelien van Oldenborgh and curator Lucy Cotter, and is organized at Witte de With by its director Defne Ayas and curator Natasha Hoare.
The project proposed to transform Witte de With into an adaptable platform for groups and individuals who have informed Cinema Olanda, Wendelien Van Oldenborgh and Lucy Cotter's presentation in the Dutch Pavilion in the Venice Biennale in the summer of 2017. In her practice, Wendelien Van Oldenborgh focuses on questions surrounding the Netherlands' (inter)national image vis-a-vis current transformations in the Dutch cultural and political landscape.
A series of changing presentations and six weeks of public events at Witte de With was being planned for the Summer 2017. In the program conceptualization for Cinema Olanda: Platform participate a group of artists, writers, curators and cultural critics: Quinsy Gario; Charl Landvreugd; Egbert Alejandro Martina; Patricia Pisters en Esther Peeren van de Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA); Jessica de Abreu and Mitchell Esajas from New Urban Collective; Katayoun Arian, Louise Autar and Max de Ploeg from First Things First. Also participating are Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Lucy Cotter, and Natasha Hoare.
At this closed-door planning meeting, a discussion around the name of the street and the institution emerges. The attending participants pose critical questions about Witte de With's objectives for hosting the project. The question of "What it means for a white institution to do critical work under the name of a colonizer?" is posed by one of the meeting's participants, Egbert Alejandro Martina. A group discussion around this inquiry, and the question of how a "white" institution can avoid to instrumentalize black intellectual labor, ensues. They also raise the issue that Witte de Withstraat is locally known as "Whiter than White Street." (The Dutch word "witte" literally translates to "white" in English.) One of the suggestions the group makes is to change the name of the institution for the duration of the Cinema Olanda: Platform project. This suggestion, and other discussion topics, are considered by the institution internally and in conversation with Wendelien Van Oldenborgh and Lucy Cotter.
20 March 2017
Second planning meeting with Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Lucy Cotter, and Cinema Olanda: Platform participants at Witte de With. Participants attending: Katayoun Arian, Louise Autar, Max de Ploeg, and Amandla Awethu! from First Things First; Mitchell Esajas and Jessica de Abreu from The Black Archives; Charl Landvreugd; and, Egbert Alejandro Martina. Also attending were Witte de With's staff members: Defne Ayas; Natasha Hoare; Milou van Lieshout; Rosa de Graaf; and Yoeri Meessen.
2 April 2017
Leading up to the opening of Cinema Olanda: Platform, and inspired by the discussions in its planning meetings, Witte de With staff organizes a team-workshop about equal opportunities.
6 April 2017
The discussion around the name of the institution takes a public turn on social media. On Twitter, several tweets are posted by and between initial Cinema Olanda: Platform participants and Witte de With staff.
10 April 2017
Responding to an email to all Cinema Olanda: Platform participants that was sent by Witte de With after the second planning meeting, Egbert Alejandro Martina sends an email to Witte de With stating that his main concern around the institution's position about its name hasn't been addressed, and withdraws from the Cinema Olanda: Platform project.
11 April 2017
Email from Witte de With to Egbert Alejandro Martina and all other Cinema Olanda: Platform participants, stating that the institution "will continue to research the figure Witte Corneliszoon de With and endeavour to make transparent his legacy as having been an instrumental part in the Dutch colonial history", and that it will "consider ways in which to address the continued name of Witte Corneliszoon de With by the street, and the institution". What follows is an email conversation between some participants and Witte de With, foregrounding that Egbert Alejandro Martina's main question is still not answered in a meaningful way.
14 April 2017
The name of the institution and the critiques of its name are listed as a discussion topic on the agenda for the upcoming meeting of Witte de With's Supervisory Board, scheduled for 13 June 2017. These are the board members: Stijn Huijts, Gabriel Lester, Jeroen Princen, Nathalie de Vries, Kees Weeda (Chair), and Katarina Zdjelar.
From May 2017 onwards
Leading up to a presentation of the twelfth edition of the ongoing exhibition series Rotterdam Cultural Histories, scheduled to open on 7 September 2017, Witte de With engages in research around the history of Dutch naval officer Witte Corneliszoon de With; his biography and role in the Dutch colonial project; the naming of the street Witte de Withstraat in 1871, and; the namesake of the institution taken at its foundation in 1990.
12 June 2017
Witte de With publishes on its website the text Acknowledgement Witte Corneliszoon de With to express that "Attention has been drawn to our operating under such a name in a field of contemporary art practice that claims criticality, and the fact of this blind spot in our institutional history and self-awareness."
13 June 2017
Quarterly meeting of Witte de With's Supervisory Board, where the Board members conclude that the questions raised, including the name, should be reflected upon. The Summer is for self-education on this matter and the discussion will be taken up again in the next meeting, scheduled for 5 September 2017.
14 June 2017
Publication of an Open Letter, authored by a group of cultural professionals, artists, and activists: Egbert Alejandro Martina, Ramona Sno, Hodan Warsame, Patricia Schor, Amal Alhaag, and Maria Guggenbichler. In the period that follows, it is signed by hundreds of people. Among the many signers of this Open Letter are prominent figures from the art world and the field of decolonial studies.
16 June 2017
Public opening of Cinema Olanda: Platform, a project with artist Wendelien van Oldenborgh and curator Lucy Cotter. The project involves an exhibition plus eleven public programs taking place 17 June to 21 July 2017.
17 June 2017 to 21 July 2017
In different ways, the eleven public programs organized in conjunction to Cinema Olanda: Platform, attended by hundreds of people and involving over forty speakers and participants, address different aspects of decolonial studies, programmed by groups and individuals who have informed Wendelien van Oldenborgh's work for the Cinema Olanda presentation in Venice. Here is a list of the programs.
20 June 2017
The AD Rotterdams Dagblad, the local edition of a national newspaper, publishes an article about the Open Letter and Witte de With's Acknowledgment: "Moet 'Witte de With' zijn naam veranderen, of juist niet?," published online on 19 June under the title "Kunstenaars willen naamsverandering Witte de With" (Artists want name change Witte de With), written by Nadia Berkelder.
23 August 2017
Publication of 'De aangekondigde dood van Witte de With', written by Koen Kleijn in magazine De Groene Amsterdammer. This is the first time a major national news platform publishes an article about the discussion around the name, leading to more articles published by national and international press. All press-clippings on the matter collected to date can be accessed here.
5 September 2017
Quarterly meeting of Witte de With's Supervisory Board, where it is unanimously agreed "that a change needs to be made to the part of the name of the center that refers to the Dutch naval officer Witte Corneliszoon de With." They also decide this task will be assigned to the upcoming director of Witte de With, to be announced.
7 September 2017
Witte de With publishes a Public Announcement, stating the decision taken in the Board meeting of 5 September. This same day sees the opening of Rotterdam Cultural Histories #12: Witte de With; What's in a Name?, a presentation which involves weekly lunch meetings for the next fifteen weeks, from 12 September to 19 December 2017. These meetings are open to the general public, and the discussions are moderated by one or two Witte de With staff members.
On that same day, triggered by the article about the board decision that was published by newspaper AD Rotterdams Dagblad that morning, members of the local political party Leefbaar Rotterdam submit written questions on this matter to the City Council, with the request they are answered in the Council meeting scheduled for 3 October 2017. The questions and answers appear on that date in this timeline.
12 September 2017

The staff and board members of Witte de With moderating these meetings: line kramer; Sarah van Overeem-van der Tholen; Rosa de Graaf; Wendy van Slagmaat-Bos with Matthias Nothnagel; Gyonne Goedhoop; Defne Ayas; Kees Weeda; Docus van der Made; Yoeri Meessen; Jeroen Lavèn; Patrick C. Haas; Marjolijn Kok; Angélique Kool with Samuel Saelemakers; Emmelie Mijs with Ella Broek; Rosa de Graaf, and Yoeri Meessen. The lunches are attended by a total number of 96 people, plus Witte de With staff members.
3 October 2017
The answers to the questions that were submitted to the City Council by members of the local political party Leefbaar Rotterdam on 7 September are established in the Council meeting. The questions and answers are:
- Do you share our bewilderment and irritation about this decision by the Supervisory Board of 'Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art'? If not, why not?
Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art is an independent foundation and as such controls its own name. The naming of a foundation is not a matter of the Council. In recent years, more cultural institutions in Rotterdam have changed their names, without involvement of the Council (Max, Siberia, and Rotjong became MAAS, Rotterdamse Schouwburg, RO Theater, and Production house became Theater Rotterdam, RCTH became Theater Babel Rotterdam, Rotterdam Chamber Orchestra became Sinfonia, etc.).
- Do you agree with us that Rotterdam tax money is not meant to erase our history? If not, why not?
Witte de With receives subsidies as part of the Cultural Plan 2017-2020, established by the City Council in November 2016. Subsidy is granted based on performance agreements. Performances are subject to yearly tests. There is no change to those performance agreements with the proposed name change.
- Do you want to terminate the subsidy to this art center, which thinks it can judge and condemn our history, immediately? If not, why not?
The same answer applies here.
- Are you prepared to link the name of Witte de With to another institution in the city (one that deserves to bear his name) and advise the art center to change its name, for example to "Ella Vogelaar Institute"? If not, why not? (Editorial note: Ella Vogelaar is a Dutch politician most known for her work in emancipating disadvantaged neighborhoods.)
The Council is not concerned with the proposed name change of an independent foundation, and as such the Council can't impose a new name on another institution either.
31 December 2017
Defne Ayas' tenure as director at Witte de With ends; her term was for six years, from 2012 to 2017, the maximum period of time a director has at Witte de With.
1 January 2018 to date
Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy assumes the directorship of Witte de With, relocating to Rotterdam. Since her arrival, she has been meeting with the institution's staff and the members of its Supervisory Board, as well as with local artists, colleagues, civil servants, and cultural producers at large, collecting impressions and viewpoints on the institution and the name-change discussions begun last year. In the meantime, she commissioned this, and two other parallel timelines, and, in the coming months, she will present an update of how the institution will proceed on the matter.

10 Questions to Ask Addiction Therapists
Before you decide on a therapist, it's important to verify any information you find on the Internet. Call the therapist and ask to speak to them directly. Ask questions to learn more about their approach to alcohol treatment. Use the Navigator Toolkit worksheets to capture the answers.
In this section, you'll find 10 recommended questions to ask—and the answers to listen for. Use this information to help find a therapist who has five signs of higher-quality treatment, and who is a good fit for your situation.
Treat this process just like you would approach any other health care decision—do your research, ask questions, and use your best judgment.
Information to gather before making the call
A therapist will want to know a little bit about the person needing treatment. You might be asked to share the following kinds of information:
- Basics: Age, gender, marital and family status, job status?
- Payment options: Health insurance or other ways to pay for treatment?
- Alcohol and other drug use: The nature of the drinking problem? Other drug use? Any previous counseling or treatment received?
- Other health issues: Any other medical or mental health issues?
- Living and social situation: Stable living situation? Access to transportation? Social support network?
- Legal system involvement: Any DUIs, probation, other issues?
- Specialized needs and preferences: Non-English-speaking? Pregnant? Safety-sensitive job?
Donʹt feel as though you need to have detailed answers to all of these questions—you will do just fine using the information you already know, even if some of your answers are ʺIʹm not sure.ʺ Still, you may want to use the Navigator Toolkit Notes page [PDF-105 KB] to help jog your memory.
Speak to the therapist directly
When contacting a therapist, you should ask to speak to that person directly if possible. Because therapists spend most of their time seeing patients, be prepared to leave a message so that they can call you back when they are available. (Try this: ʺI am trying to find treatment for a loved one with a drinking problem, and I want to learn more about your clinical practice.ʺ)
If you donʹt hear back within 2 days, call again. If you donʹt hear back at all within a week, cross them off your list.
Tip: It could take 20 minutes or longer to ask and answer all 10 of the recommended questions. Some therapists will be able to spend this much time with you, but others may ask you to make an appointment to discuss your situation—that's perfectly reasonable. While it would be preferable to go through all 10 Questions, if the therapist has limited time, you will learn a lot by focusing on their answers to Questions 1, 2, 4, and 9.
Q1: Are you accepting new patients?
Why you should ask: You want them to know that youʹre actively searching for a treatment provider. You also need to know whether they can take on a new patient.
What to listen for: If the therapist says they are not accepting new patients right now, ask them for a referral to someone who might be. Then call and interview that person.
Also note: If the therapist is not accepting new patients, donʹt take it personally—they have only so much time available for appointments. You want someone who can give each patient the attention they need.
Q2: I found your name in a directory of therapists who treat alcohol and drug addiction. Can you tell me briefly your background and your credentials?
Why you should ask: You should always verify information you find on the Internet. Online directories can be out of date, so you want to make sure that the therapistʹs credentials (license/certification) are current and valid. Youʹre looking for someone with formal training, credentials, and experience in treating alcohol or other substance use disorders.
What to listen for: Therapists—clinical psychologists, licensed clinical counselors, and social workers—should be licensed in your state. But having a license is not enough to ensure quality. So you also want to find a therapist who holds at least a Masterʹs degree and has special training in treating addiction. The specific type of training and credentials will vary, so ask them to tell you more about their experience.
You might also want to ask: How long have you been treating patients with alcohol problems? How much of your practice deals with addiction versus other conditions?
Q3: Will you start with a complete assessment and diagnosis? What does that involve?
Why you should ask: Itʹs important that a patient be matched to treatment services that address their specific needs. This can only happen if the therapist does a comprehensive assessment that includes more than just questions about their drinking.
What you should listen for: A comprehensive assessment is a lengthy, structured interview. The therapist should describe an assessment process that would give them information about a personʹs drinking, other substance use, mental health, family dynamics, employment, criminal justice involvement, and need for social services or other kinds of support. (Note: Only a medical doctor can appropriately assess a personʹs physical health and any medical conditions.)
You might also ask: How many visits will it take to complete this assessment? How do you involve your patients in developing a treatment plan?
Q4: Can you tell me about your treatment approach for people with alcohol problems? What kinds of services do you offer, and what does treatment ʹlook likeʹ?
Why you should ask: Ask this question so that you can hear how a therapist approaches the treatment of alcohol use disorder. It will be helpful to hear different perspectives from different therapists.
What to listen for: The therapist should describe a process that has at least some structure to it (indicating that they have a plan), but not so much structure that it sounds inflexible or is the same for every patient. In fact, itʹs perfectly okay if the answer begins with them saying, ʺIt depends on the patient, but generally I will do ____.ʺ
Listen for mention of evidence-based behavioral treatment approaches.
And listen to the way the therapist describes alcohol use disorder. Remember, addiction is a medical condition—it is not just a sign that someone is ʺweakʺ or needs to ʺstraighten up.ʺ Watch out for anyone who uses language that stigmatizes patients (e.g., calling them ʺdrunksʺ or ʺaddictsʺ or worse). And avoid anyone who suggests that patients need a confrontational (ʺtough loveʺ) approach. Youʹll want to find someone who can provide a caring, supportive environment for your loved one. Language that reflects moral judgment, stigma, or punitive approaches reflects thinking that is inconsistent with the current science of addiction.
Q5: Are you able to arrange for someone to prescribe a medication to treat alcohol use disorder if it is appropriate?
Why you should ask: Medications can be helpful for some people as part of their treatment plan. Currently, there are three U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications for the treatment of alcohol use disorder. Naltrexone comes in two forms: a pill that is taken daily (ReVia® or Depade®), or a long-acting injection (called Vivitrol®) that is given once a month. Other medications are acamprosate (Campral®) and disulfiram (Antabuse®).
What to listen for: Youʹll want to find a clinician who is at least willing to consider using any of these medications as part of the treatment plan. Most psychologists, licensed counselors, and social workers will not be able to write prescriptions themselves, but they should be willing to coordinate with a medical doctor who can.
While medications are not a good fit for every patient, the option should at least be on the table. Steer clear of clinicians who reject the use of medications out-of-hand (ʺI donʹt believe in medicationsʺ) or who argue that these medications ʺjust substitute one addiction for another.ʺ FDA-approved alcohol medications are not addictive; they can be critically important in giving the brain a chance to heal while counseling and other recovery supports gain traction. If a therapist refuses to even consider the use of a medication, their approach is not in line with current scientific evidence.
Learn more about alcohol use disorder treatment medications.
Q6: If you identify other important issues that need to be addressed—say, mental health or medical issues, or other drug use—what arrangements do you have to help someone receive appropriate care for those issues?
Why you should ask: Although you may be seeking treatment to address a drinking problem, treatment is not only about drinking. Treatment is an opportunity to address a variety of related issues—some of which may not become apparent until the patient has started making progress in their recovery. Youʹll want to be sure that the treatment option you select is able to help with these other issues if and when they come up.
What to listen for: Itʹs unlikely that any single treatment provider would be able to address all of the alcohol, drug, mental health, medical, family, social, and other issues that a patient could need help with. But a good therapist will be able to refer a patient to other qualified providers—whether these are counselors, medical doctors, social service agencies, or other resources—and to coordinate a comprehensive treatment plan. You should listen for their ability and willingness to help the patient address all of their needs—even if that means coordinating with other providers.
Q7: What is expected of a patient and his or her family during treatment?
Why you should ask: This question will help set your expectations about the treatment process and give you a sense of the commitment involved on all sides.
What to listen for: Youʹll want to hear the ʺnuts and boltsʺ of treatment attendance—how many sessions, lasting how long (minutes/hours), how frequently (days per week), for how many weeks or months. Then listen for other expectations—for example, perhaps a therapist expects their patients to get involved in a mutual-help group, or to sign an agreement about taking their alcohol medication (called a ʺmedication adherence contractʺ), or even to use a recovery support app on their smartphone. Different therapists will have different expectations.
Youʹll also want to know what type of family therapy is available, and in what ways family members might be involved in a patientʹs treatment. While the primary focus of treatment will be on the patient, itʹs important that some sort of counseling or program be available for the family too (if they are willing to be involved).
You should be wary of expectations that sound ʺall or nothingʺ and for rules that are completely inflexible—for example, that a patient would be terminated for having a relapse or forgetting to take their prescribed medication.
Q8: What do you do if someone has a relapse while they are in treatment?
Why you should ask: This question will give you a sense of how a therapist views addiction and its treatment. Alcohol use disorder, like other substance use disorders, is a chronic disease that can include periods of recovery and relapse (a return to drinking). Relapse is not a failure; it indicates the need for additional recovery support and behavior change strategies, which can be gained from counseling and, for some patients, medications.
What to listen for: Youʹll want to hear that the therapist recognizes relapse is part of the recovery process, and that they would respond by making appropriate changes to the patientʹs treatment plan. In some cases, the patient may need more intensive treatment—perhaps a different type of behavioral counseling, or more frequent counseling sessions, or the addition of a prescribed medication, or treatment in a residential setting. Often, it may turn out to be a valuable learning experience for the patient that can help them recognize changes they need to make.
Q9: Can you help me estimate the cost of treatment? Will my insurance cover these costs?
Why you should ask: The costs of treatment can vary from one provider to the next, sometimes significantly. Insurance may cover some, but not all, of these costs. Before committing to a specific treatment provider, youʹll want to understand what it will cost.
Donʹt be surprised or offended if one of the first questions the therapist (or receptionist) asks you is how you plan to pay for treatment. Just like any other health care service, both providers and patients need to understand the costs involved and how the treatment will be paid for.
Confirm whether the therapist accepts the personʹs insurance. Then ask what other charges you should anticipate—for example, copayments for visits, any specialized tests, or additional counseling such as family therapy. If the therapist does not accept the personʹs insurance, ask them to help you estimate the cost of a typical treatment episode. If affording treatment is a concern, you can ask whether the therapist offers a payment plan or a sliding fee scale to help with these costs.
Donʹt be discouraged or embarrassed if a certain therapist is more expensive than you can afford. Remember, the most expensive treatment is not always the best one.
Q10: If this turns out to be the best option, how soon could treatment begin?
Why you should ask: Youʹll probably want to start treatment as soon as possible. Therapists may have limited availability, or they may schedule their intake/assessment appointments on certain days and times. Find out now whether there might be any delays in getting started.
Other questions to ask
If you have questions, ask them! If you donʹt understand an answer, ask for clarification. Add any additional questions you might have to the Navigator Toolkit "10 Questions" list [PDF-128 KB] before you make your calls. Donʹt worry about feeling ʺdumbʺ—get the answers you need to make an informed decision.
One last suggestion
Pay attention to the way these therapists interact with you, and how you feel when you are talking to them.
If they provide complete answers to your questions, take time to understand your situation, and demonstrate a concern for you, thatʹs a good sign! On the other hand, if they are rushed, or make you feel like your questions are ʺdumbʺ or not important, thatʹs also useful information. Would you want to be their patient?
After each call, make some notes—not just about their answers to your specific questions, but also the overall impression you got from talking to them. Try to write yourself a note to remind you what made you feel that way. Later on, when you are comparing options, these notes may help you and your loved one make a choice.

From John Quincy Adams to Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, 22 July 1814
Ghent 22. July 1814.
My Dearest Friend.
As I am reduced to the necessity of copying all my own Letters, and as one of the duties the most indispensable to my heart is that of punctuality in my Correspondence with you, I have made it a principle to have my Letter ready for you in the Morning of the Post-day upon which it is dispatched, although it does not go to the Post-Office, untill 8 in the Evening. Hence it was that I had only the opportunity by the Post-script in my last, to acknowledge the receipt of your favours of 20. May. and of 10. and 13. June. which I have numbered 6. 10. and 11.—They were all forwarded by Mr Hall from Gothenburg on the 29th: of June—That of 20. May was the missing Letter, which you had sent to Reval, and which arrived there after my departure—It came under an enclosure from Mr Rodde.—And the day before yesterday, I received your's of 24. June. N. 12. The first directed to me at this City, and written on the very day of my arrival here—I know not why this has been so long (twenty-six days) in reaching me, unless it be from a sort of fatality, which has hitherto baffled our intentions of punctuality on both sides—I have however now the satisfaction of possessing unbroken the file of your Letters, from the day after I left St: Petersburg, untill that of my arrival at Ghent, and of knowing that you had then received mine, untill the last that I wrote you from Stockholm. On the 24th: of June, you ought to have received mine of the 8th: from Gothenburg—I hope its detention was not continued beyond the next Post-day, and on receiving it you will see by its date, that I did not omit one Post there; as I have not omitted one any where from the day of our parting to this—I gave that Letter into the hands of Mr Hall, to be forwarded by the Post that left Gothenburg on that day, and it should regularly have arrived on the 23d: of June at St: Petersburg.
Your Letter of 20. May mentions that the Book binder had brought you a bill for R. 39. and that you found one on the file not receipted, for R. 43.—They were two different Bills.—In my Account-Book I find them both noted down as paid—That of R. 43. on the 5th: of April, and that of R 39-50 on the 23d: of the same Month—It is possible, that I may have minuted this last, from the Bill, intending to send him the money, and that in the hurry of my departure I forgot it—I have no distinct recollection of having actually paid it. The other one I certainly did pay, and cannot account for its not being receipted.—I believe the man to be honest, and that he would not have brought you the bill if it had really been paid.—I observe by one of your subsequent Letters that you finally found Pluchart's receipt—
If the change of the place of Negotiation had been, as was first suggested, to the Hague, it would certainly have been personally to me, considering only the circumstance of individual accommodation, far more agreeable than either Gothenburg or Ghent—Ghent is to us all a more agreeable residence than I think Gothenburg would have been—The great and essential objection which there was in my mind, was the great and unnecessary delay, which I knew it must occasion. I suppose this was really the precise object of the Enemy in proposing the change—He wanted a pretext for delay, and I would not have allowed it—He began by talking of the Hague, and he finished by giving us Ghent—The change of the place gave him two Months, and now he still delays without even offering a pretext. The hostility of the Little Lord is a mere sympathy—It is like the whispering Gallery at St: Paul's—You whisper on one side of the dome, and the listener at the other side hears the sound. Lord Castlereagh whispers at Paris or London, and more than echo's talk along the walls of the maison Demidoff.—If we had stuck to Gothenburg as I would have done, this paltry shuffling would long before this have been at an end—The true Negotiators as his Lorsdhip said were the bayonets from Bordeaux—It is with them that our Country must treat, and it is by disposing properly of them that she can alone produce a pacific disposition in England.
What you have heard of the character and temper of Mr Clay, coincides exactly with all the experience I have had of them hitherto—But the other Report of a public breach and misunderstanding between two other Gentlemen is altogether unfounded—So far from it, that we now lodge all together at one house, and have a common table among ourselves—that we have engaged as I wrote you before an house, where we shall still lodge and dine together, and that there is on all sides a perfect good humour and Understanding—The junior attachés, who were last year in Russia, appear to me both much improved—They are I believe both wholly independent of their former Patrons, and can therefore have no collisions with them—Their pretensions are not so saliant as they were, and their deportment is consequently more pleasing—The Coll: is not only reconciled to the Chevalier but more assiduous in attention to him than ever—The Chevalier himself is entirely another Man—with good health—good Spirits—good humour—always reasonable—and almost always as you have seen him in his most amiable Moments—Whether there was something baleful in the Waters of the Neva, I know not, but our last year's visitors, all here, seem to be of another, and a much better world—
When I wrote you that I hoped to be with you by the first of September, it was on the supposition that we should do our business at Gothenburg.—I can no longer entertain such a hope. You know the situation in which we are now here, and the promise we had that the other party should be here to meet us in the first days of this Month. I am aware how painful it will be to you to be kept so long in suspense, whether I am to go to you, or you are to come to me, and only ask you to recollect, that sharing all your anxieties in this respect, I have the further mortification of feeling the same tardiness of our adversaries, as a purposed insult upon our Country.
Your complaints of the troubles and vexations that you meet with in your domestic arrangements distress me greatly—But you say you have been obliged to do many things, which you fear will make me very angry—My dearest friend, say to me expressly and explicitly what you have done—If I am angry, I am sure it will be more for your sake and that of your children than my own—But while you speak in such vague and general terms, what consolation can I have, but to hope that the reality will not afflict me so much as the alarm?
If Mr Strugoffshikoff is dissatisfied with the terms upon which we now have his house I would wish you to look out for Apartments on a smaller Establishment—As I presume Mr Smith and his family have left you, we shall need much less Room, even if I should return—Accommodate yourself as much to your own Satisfaction as you possibly can, but without taking any superfluous chambers—Besides those which you will want, one for my Cabinet and Library will be sufficient—On the footing upon which the American Government has placed me in this mission, I must reduce my Establishment in Russia—If you can, take your new Apartments by the Month, rather than by the year.
I shall execute with pleasure your Commission for Lace; but you must have the goodness to write me what sort of Lace you want, and to what amount—Indulge yourself as liberally as you please in the estimate; but name the sum which you would wish me not to exceed in the purchase—I shall endeavour to procure some table linen, and shall be glad also if you will write me how much of that you think it would be advisable to get.
I do not answer Mr Smith's Letter, because I am in hopes of hearing very soon of his arrival in Holland—I presume he can have met no difficulty in procuring a passage thither, as I have advised in several of my Letters to you. I am very glad he did not take passage to Gothenburg.
I write to Charles, and am, Dearest Louisa, ever faithfully and affectionately your's

Stakeholder dialogue as a strategy to investigate and solve people-wildlife conflicts
Wildlife-human conflicts are an increasing problem on all continents of the globe. Some conflicts can be clearly defined, while others are more difficult to identify, because they are side-effects of human activities not directed towards the conflict species. The resolution of all such conflicts ideally involves the relevant interest groups (stakeholders) such as farmers, livestock owners, hunters, conservationists, lobby organisations, local government and others. In recent years we have continuously involved stakeholders in our conservation-oriented research projects, organised workshops and conferences and maintained regular feedback on research progress. This interactive approach was applied in European, African and Asian context and provided decision-making stakeholders with detailed information on the biology and ecology of wildlife species as well as recommendations to reduce human-wildlife conflicts.
Birds of prey as sensitive bio-indicators of lead contamination in game meat
White-tailed sea eagles Haliaeetus albicilla in Germany regularly suffer from lead intoxication caused by fragments of lead based hunting bullets in game animals or viscera left in the field by hunters. Lead intoxication is the most important cause of mortality in German white-tailed sea eagles and an unintended side effect of hunting activities. Stakeholders such as hunters and their local, regional and national organisations, the ammunition industry and conservation organisations were involved in the process of developing solutions to overcome the problem. In a joined declaration, the stakeholders agreed that the effects and risks of rifle bullets have to be critically examined and an assessment of available alternative bullet materials has to be made. It was also agreed to aim for a concurrent phase-out of lead based rifle ammunition in the range of the white-tailed sea eagles. Lead in food, especially in venison, recently also received increased attention with respect to human health. The detection of lead particles in game meat and the measurement of elevated lead concentrations in humans consuming game meat were alarming and pose a serious health risk for infants and adults.
Involving Namibian farmers in a carnivore research project
The Namibian farmland hosts the world's largest free-ranging cheetah population. Cheetahs on commercial farmland have often been considered a threat to the farmers' economic revenues from livestock and wildlife, thus large numbers of cheetahs have been eliminated by farmers. To protect cheetahs on farmland in a successful and sustainable way we collect scientific data on the economic and ecological role of cheetahs and maintain a constant dialogue with the farmers to understand their concerns about cheetahs and to report our results. We also develop new methods to determine for example more accurately the diet of cheetahs. We regularly present our results at the farmers annual general meetings and conduct workshops. As one of the consequences of this constant exchange of information, an increasing number of farmers actively cooperate with us and have captured in the last few years nearly half of the cheetahs we collared and monitored. This cooperation is crucial because farmer activities and decisions have a significant and direct influence on the cheetah population.
Cooperation on an international level to protect threatened species in Borneo
South East Asia is a hotspot of the global biodiversity crisis, and large mammals such as the Sabah rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis harrissoni) are among the most seriously threatened species in this area. Once widespread in Borneo, habitat destruction and poaching reduced their number to less than 50 individuals over the past 15 years. The IZW started, together with the government of the Malaysian state of Sabah, the Borneo Rhino Alliance, WWF Malaysia and the Zoo Leipzig, a comprehensive conservation programme to protect and breed this highly threatened rhino species. The responsibilities and goals of this programme have been defined in an integrated species management plan that combines in situ and ex situ conservation efforts. We collect quantitative information on the intensity of poaching in the few remaining habitats of the rhinos and produce maps indicating poaching evidences in the forest. Recommendations generated from the data analyses are given to the government of the Malaysian state of Sabah and discussed in workshops with all partners involved in the integrated species management plan for the Sabah rhinoceros.
The IZW is also conducting a comprehensive study on carnivores in Borneo. In June 2011 we organised, together with three Specialist Groups (Cat, Small Carnivore, Otter) of the IUCN Species Survival Commission and the government of the Malaysian state of Sabah, the 1st Borneo Carnivore Symposium (BCS), Road towards Conservation Action Plans. Almost 200 international experts met in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia to discuss strategies to reduce the serious threats of Bornean carnivores, where over 50% of carnivore species are classified as Threatened in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Borneo is shared by three countries - Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia and Indonesia, and a key focus of the BCS was to enhance the dialogue between scientists, conservationists and the governmental authorities of these countries.

Paul Paviour Recital Hall transformed from 'ugly duckling to swan'25.02.2015
From 'ugly duckling to swan' is how Goulburn Regional Conservatorium (GRC) Director, Paul Scott-Williams has described the transformation of the Conservatorium's performance space, the Paul Paviour Recital Hall.
Regional Arts NSW CEO, Elizabeth Rogers agrees.
'It was wonderful to be part of the evening and see and hear the difference in the renovated space. Regional communities deserve the same standard of performance spaces as their city counterparts, and it is a credit to the conservatorium and the Goulburn community that they now have this beautiful performance space,' Ms Rogers said.
In a highly appropriate gesture to its namesake, Paul Paviour performed at the opening of his own room.
'Thirty years after founding the GRC, Paul Paviour remains active in our regional community. Renowned as a composer, Paul still directs two choral groups and conducts and accompanies on a regular basis. He is held in great regard and affection and in fact, we have come to playfully nickname him "God", as he simply seems to go one forever,' Mr Scott-Williams said.
Paviour settled in Australia in 1969 and took up the position of Director of Music at All Saints College Bathurst. In 1975 he became a lecturer in creative composition at the Goulburn Teachers College, which later became Goulburn Conservatorium where he was inaugural director.
In 1982 Paviour's Goulburn Consort of Voices performed for His Holiness Pope John Paul II. Highlights of his career also include being the director of music for the Duke of Edinburgh's 1974 visit, the consecration of All Saint's Cathedral Bathurst in 1971 and the opening by Elizabeth II of the new Parliament House, Canberra in May 1988.
Funded from the conservatorium's accumulated surplus and partly through funding from the Department of Education, the renovation took place over January and February.
Mr Scott-Williams said there was another slightly small performance space on the first floor, but they had found over the years that accessibility was very difficult for the elderly and the disabled.
The newly renovated Paul Paviour Recital Hall can seat up to 140 people comfortably, has a large 9m by 3m stage, plus professional standard lighting and sound equipment fully integrated.
'We wanted to create a classy, multi-functional space to present our various performance events in. The acoustics are excellent and the lighting makes everyone look beautiful,' Mr Scott-Williams said.
'Goulburn is sadly lacking viable performance venues, so although this space can't be used as a theatre, it is an extremely viable and comfortable recital hall. I like to think we have value-added to the Goulburn community by creating this lovely space that will certainly be used for our internal concert series and visiting artists series, but I am also keen to see it used by community groups where possible.'
Visiting artists in this year's series include mezzo-soprano, Jessica Walker; violinist, Kirsten Williams; a capella group, The Song Company; Sydney Symphony Fellowship Orchestra; flute and guitar duo, Duo Caliente and vocal quartet, The Idea of North. Jessica Walker will perform on Saturday, 7 March and also facilitate a masterclass.
Mr Scott-Williams said one of the first discoveries made during the renovations was the stunning original floorboards that had been covered by old blue linoleum.
'After these were revealed, we felt confident the room could be successfully transformed. We have retained the original glass ceiling and a wonderful original glassed display wall that houses a range of artefacts tracing the history of the GRC over the past 30 years,' he said.
'In our 30th anniversary year it is a pleasure to be able to enjoy a quality performance space in the heart of Goulburn.'
Mr Scott-Williams said the space had been further enhanced with the beautiful photographic artwork by Canyonleigh photographer, Richard Manning.
'Richard did a photographic study of the conservatorium building a couple of years ago and his work is just beautiful and makes the recital hall look striking and dramatic,' he said.
More information about the GRC and bookings for its Visiting Artists program is available here.

After clearly establishing the subject you will be writing about, it is important that the person who is beginning to write their blog to know that blogging is an activity which needs some considerable amount of time for it to be done well. To a good post, you will need to take your time to research and collect new ideas which will attract visitors to your blog. At this point, you need to clearly know when you have good concentration to write and set it aside.
At this point you can start writing and post your writings. You ought to be slow but steady in your blog writing at first. Put your mind and resources into building your blog writing skills until you gain enough confidence then concentrate on building traffic to your blog.
The good thing about blog writing is that it is fun and interesting. One thing that you will definitely love about blogging is that it helps you to express your thoughts on various issues.

Unnamed sources are telling media outlets that top executives from Yahoo and Apple have been discussing ways the two companies could work together more closely. That could involve promoting Yahoo content on iPhones and iPads or using more Yahoo data to power Apple's Siri voice assistant.
The Wall Street Journal's Amir Efrati and Jessica E. Lessin first broke the story, reporting, "The two companies have been discussing how more of Yahoo's services can play a prominent role on Apple's iPhone and iPad devices, people briefed on the matter said. Apps powered by data from Yahoo Finance and Yahoo's weather site already come preloaded on iPhones. Some Yahoo data, such as sports stats, help power Apple's voice-activated 'assistant' Siri. But the companies are discussing new arrangements, including possible deals to get more content from Yahoo News and its other Web properties loaded onto Apple devices or available through an expanded Siri partnership, one of these people said. No deal is imminent, said people with direct knowledge of the companies' relationship."
Bloomberg's Adam Satariano confirmed, "Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) executives have discussed ways to collaborate more closely on mobile software, according to a person familiar with the matter. Yahoo Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer has met with Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet services, to explore ways Yahoo can be more deeply integrated into the software that runs on the iPhone and iPad, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. The Wall Street Journal previously reported the discussions."
"Apple wants to rely less on Google's services on its iPhone, but it isn't ready to fully cut ties with the search and advertising company," observed InformationWeek's Eric Zeman. "The rift between Apple and Google has grown over the last 12 months. The late Apple CEO Steve Jobs accused Google's Android platform of being a 'stolen' operating system. Apple has slowly been weaning itself from Google's services, with mixed results."
The Register's Brid-Aine Parnell commented, "Cozying up to Apple would be directly in line with Yahoo! chief Marissa Mayer's ongoing battle to make the firm a bigger player in the mobile market, while giving Cupertino a non-Google option for a number of mobile apps and services."

PMC Research elaborated a report with the purpose of prioritizing community problems in Mestia municipality through the analysis of central and local government competences
The data analysis shows that in 2019, compared with the previous year, Georgia's export has increased, while the country's import decreased. In 2019, Georgia's external trade balance amounted to negative $5.2 bln, which is a $0.49 bln decrease compared to the corresponding period of 2018.

Auraya Systems, a globally recognized expert on voice biometrics including voice authentication and identity solutions, expands its partner network by registering nine firms to integrate and sell its ArmorVox Speaker Identity System in North America, Europe, and Australia. Implementers of IVR, biometrics security systems and platform providers find Auraya Systems a flexible solutions provider of leading edge voice identification technology.
"Seeking alternatives to meet voice biometrics requirements for their clients, prospective partners inquired soon after we launched ArmorVox earlier this year," states Jeff LaBombard, vice president, Auraya Systems. "Collectively, they said they wanted a 'partner-friendly' collaborative supplier, a high performance voice identification technology, and a favorable pricing model that encourages enterprises to implement automated voice authentication."
ArmorVox incorporates advanced speaker identification methods and is the only product to fuse text-independent and text-dependent voice verification. Application developers deploy ArmorVox into call-center application servers located on-premise or in the cloud.
ArmorVox uniquely offers a fixed-price server-based model, as well as an annual SaaS subscription unlike higher priced alternatives that require individually priced modules and variable costs based on the number of voice prints enrolled or verified. "Our partners say they value our service-based pricing approach and appreciate that we do not impose per transaction pricing on clients — a model that is particularly prohibitive in large enterprises that service millions of consumers," adds LaBombard.
Auraya Systems, which relies exclusively on its Authorized Partners worldwide to implement ArmorVox, is gaining strong support among IVR providers, call center hosting services, and biometric security product integrators.
"ArmorVox has taken a new approach to the voice biometrics market. We see voice biometrics growing significantly in the coming year, and we applaud their effort to respond to partner business needs and make it easier to deliver a valuable service to the marketplace," said John Amein, senior vice president, product management, Voxeo. "We look forward to helping ArmorVox partners build and test their applications in the Voxeo voice hosting cloud or using Voxeo's on-premises software."
To most voice authentication systems developers, the task of verifying identities and rejecting imposters using a voice biometrics engine is an implicit function, deeply embedded in a call center application.
Shahar Belkin, chief technology officer of FST21 Ltd explains, "Designed to let the right people in and keep the wrong people out, we deliver intelligent identity management solutions for access control to government, commercial, and residential buildings. As a voice component within our second generation biometrics system, ArmorVox helps meet client security requirements."
Support of Auraya Systems continues with Douglas Shand, CEO of UK-based Identico (formerly known as Leading Software) stating, "ArmorVox is a high performance voice authentication engine that provides reliable identity verification and impostor rejection. ArmorVox was easily integrated into the Identico Identity As A Service (IDaaS) platform providing a secure but flexible set of enrollment and verification processes. Auraya offers a practical technology with flexible pricing to match customer requirements, delivered exclusively through a sensible partner program."

If you're not registered to vote, you are missing out on a great national privilege and a significant personal freedom.
There are many good reasons to vote, including the following:
2. Voting provides a medium for citizens to support the democratic structure. If a majority of citizens chose not to vote, democracy might become a thing of the past, replaced by another form of government that might prove more elitist in nature. Registering to vote means that you believe in the democratic process and will participate in it to represent your right to freedom of speech.
3. Supporting the electoral process helps to reinforce your regional government. Showing that you care with your vote tells candidates that they must be accountable to the public. It also suggests that those who introduce issues for a vote must provide adequate information to answer citizens' questions and address their concerns rather than attempt to foist a half-baked idea onto the general public.
4. Showing up at the poll on voting day sets a good example to others. Remember, your children observe all that you do and will learn from your example, right or wrong as it may be. Civic awareness is an important part of their training and one of the early steps on the road to maturity. Discuss the candidates with your family and make a point of mentioning your vote, or wearing the pin distributed at many polls that reads "I voted today." Voting also sets a positive example to neighbors, friends, and family who may be uninterested in or unfamiliar with the electoral system.
5. Finally, taking time to vote reflects pride in your nation and its government. The country becomes a beacon of liberty for the rest of the world who will be watching. Let everyone know that you care enough about your homeland and its leaders to have a say in the election's outcome. Never surrender your right to speak your mind via the vote on election day.
If you are not currently registered to vote, call or stop in at the electoral office in your community to get signed up. It only takes a few minutes, and even that step is likely to get noticed by those who are watching. World, beware!

Opusbusiness.com or office.opusbusiness.com is an online investment website that claims to trade for you and return gives ROI of about 40% monthly. Sounds really sweet but let's get to the bitter part.
The website looks really well designed but with limited information to work with. I see a Kenyan business registration on the company but the underlay banner of homepage carries an American flag.
This website claims to be a club which I tried verifying with all the social media handles they provided but all returned errors apart from the empty Instagram account I found. I also found the youtube channel but this just shows a bunch of videos made on a computer screen.
For all I care, this could be the job of just a couple of guys sitting behind a desk somewhere across the globe.
The SSL certificate on this website is free and I'm sure it didn't take long to put up. A company that cant acquire a legit SSL for 3 bucks isn't worthy of your investment.
Further look into this website shows that no contact information is provided and no real address is given. If they wanna scam people, at least they should do some homework (just kidding).
It looks already like Opusbusiness.com is having a hard time loading but please if it gets through loading, do not invest in it.
Here is our final verdict:
Do not waste your time with this website but you can look up our top paying websites here.
Be on the lookout for monthly suggestions that would be coming up soon

MAKING ART WORK: Advice for artists, from artists is a series that taps into the knowledge and experience of seasoned creatives from our community and beyond for the benefit of our students. We had the pleasure of speaking with artist and CFA Alum David Habben for this episode of MAKING ART WORK.
What do you wish you had known when you were a less experienced artist?
That to truly progress and find success, you have to have a plan. It would've been great to know that there are actual career paths that involve creativity and artistic skill. Like many other artists, I felt that you just make your best work and if you're lucky, someone buys it. Knowing the options and then working toward them would've made a world of difference. That being said, I'm grateful for how my own irregular path has led me to teaching and to the opportunity to help the rising generation prepare for their future in more specific ways than I did.
How do you find balance between creating your own art and using your creative talents for other projects (jobs, collaborations, etc.)?
It's actually the unique commissions and unexpected collaborations that fuel the new ideas in my own work, so I welcome the opportunities whenever I can find them. Being able to see through someone else's eyes, whether that be for a product or just for exploration, is a fantastic way to rethink our own work. My biggest steps forward have always been the result of a collaborative experience.
What's the most useful advice you were given?
I think the advice I remember the most is to not be afraid to be a small fish in a big pond. Bill Carman (Boise State University) taught me that and it's been proven right throughout my life. We should never be afraid to get out of our comfort zone and be the new kid, the rookie, or the novice.

Souper Bowl Sunday!
Sunday, February 3
Super Bowl Sunday is a day when our nation turns its attention to a football game. Millions are spent on advertising and publicity. Our hope on this day is that attention can also be turned to caring for those in need.
In 1990 a youth group at a church founded SouperBowl of Caring. People of their congregation put money into soup bowls or baskets after the service on Super Bowl Sunday and 100% of the proceeds were donated to LOCAL charities. Now is our chance to tackle hunger, not in some far-off place we would have to look up in an atlas to find, but right here in Phoenix, Arizona.
On February 3, 2019, members of your Mission Committee and volunteers will be stationed at the doors as we exit the church, ready to accept cash donations for this worthy cause. Donations will be divided between Agua Fria and Valley View Food Banks, along with the Kids' Café in Surprise.
"There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be open-handed toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land." --Deuteronomy 15:10
OUR WORSHIP is based on the "Reformed" tradition of the Christian faith wherein the service gives emphasis to the sacraments of communion and baptism, to the exposition of Holy Scripture through preaching, and to quality music that is both classical and contemporary. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is celebrated monthly; the baptismal font is filled at the beginning of every worship service; and a service of renewal of baptismal vows is held on Baptism of the Lord Sunday in January each year.

The Aberdeen Group recently released the report, Supply Chain Visibility: A Critical Strategy to Optimize Cost and Service. The report summarizes the results of a survey they conducted of 149 companies, all with predominantly global supply chains. The report reviews how important visibility is in strategies to reduce cost and improve service on a global scale. The results indicate that for 63 percent of companies visibility is a high priority, with an additional 28 percent listing visibility as a medium priority. The survey proposes that complete supply chain visibility becomes increasingly difficult to maintain at a global level due to growing intricacies.
What Causes Increased Complexities?
As companies expand into the global market, supply chains become multi-tiered, which leads to longer lead times and additional pipeline inventory. In addition to internal changes, the external factors in a global supply chain—from cultures and languages to tariffs and regulations—contribute to forty-five percent of companies responding that overcoming complexities and challenges as their top pressure. Another 43 percent identified their top pressure as the need to improve speed and accuracy within their supply chain. Like additional complexities, speed and accuracy change in a global setting, in most cases they are both reduced.
Who are the Leaders?
The Aberdeen Group defined the companies with the top performance as leaders; they based this distinction on multiple criteria:
- The percent of inbound orders received complete and on-time
- The percent of outbound orders delivered complete and on-time
- The change in total landed costs over the past year
- The percent of out-of-stock inventory to average on-hand inventory
- The company's compliance level with GS1 standards
The leaders want more control over their supply chain and push for additional coordination among external parties than the remaining companies. When it comes to GS1 compliance, 100 percent of the leaders are compliant to the item level, whereas only 25 percent of the remaining businesses are GS1 complaint. This indicates that companies who strive to be GS1 compliant may have a healthier, more visible supply chain.
How do 3PLs Connect?
There has been an unprecedented increase in the use of third party logistic service providers (3PLs) in recent years. Over 70 percent of shippers surveyed have an ongoing relationship with a 3PL, and 56 percent of those companies have relationships with more than one 3PL. Fifty percent of the leading companies replied they use five or more 3PLs regularly. The majority of large 3PLs offer solutions that provide automated track and trace capabilities and provide improved connectivity and event monitoring. All qualified 3PLs should provide track and trace visibility at the unit level that is compliant to the worldwide GS1 standards.
Want to Know More?
Every day shippers face additional challenges and complexities due to the growing global market. Global supply chains increase the need for companies to develop and maintain seamless integrated visibility across multiple enterprises in order to gain the most beneficial results and close more gaps. For more information about how the companies surveyed by the Aberdeen Group succeed in a complex global world, read the entire report. The report is complimentary through C.H. Robinson, but is only available for a limited time, so download your copy today.

After a brief closure, the Roux has been renovated and is doing a little re-launch promotion. With a classy and delightful menu of French fine dining food, this soft launch really is a must. We love the sound of the Ox-cheek (with red wine and mousseline potatoes) and the St Sever duck served with soft polenta, endive and kumquat. Delicious. But don't just take our word for it - read one of our friend's reviews of the brunch situation here (thanks Joe!).
