Just after almost 19 years in the health and fitness industry I have observed them all: from the most expert and capable types to these that are a downright disgrace to the training job, and then everyone in-concerning. And what I see isn't going to definitely surprise me any longer, but what does is people's incapacity to convey to the difference. So in this article are some practical hints that will not only convey to you what to appear for if you are pondering of employing one particular but it's possible make you imagine twice about the one particular you previously have. And remember to, you should not convey to me that you have experienced them for a though, you are utilized to them, you you should not like variations, they are your buddies, etcetera., etcetera. and that is why you continue training with them mainly because, have faith in me, that is not a superior enough explanation.
So let's start out with the principles.
THE MOST Important Point – Education and learning and Qualifications
one. Even though our industry is not controlled just but (there is no licensing method) there are numerous instructional bodies that insure correct training of particular trainers. Make sure they have a nationally regarded certification from a dependable business. The ideal types in the industry at the moment are:
-American University of Athletics Medication (ACSM)
-Countrywide Academy of Athletics Medication (NASM)
-Countrywide Energy and Conditioning Association (NSCA)
-American Council on Physical exercise (ACE)
-Cooper Institute
The over businesses have operated for numerous years and deliver the optimum criteria in training physical fitness pros. There a number of others, significantly less acknowledged types but the bottom line is: make sure they are accredited by NCCA (Countrywide Commission for Certifying Agencies). You can uncover the list of accredited businesses on their internet site.
two. A degree in a similar area is practical nevertheless not totally necessary. I have observed numerous outstanding trainers without having levels and horrible types with levels. A degree of B.Sc. or M.Sc. in the area of exercising physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics etcetera., offers a lot of beneficial track record understanding that can be utilized to properly teach clientele but it does NOT prepare one particular for a training situation all by by itself as the understanding attained is mostly theoretical and not simple. Certification from one particular of the over pointed out businesses is however totally necessary.
three. A lot of universities now supply special certification courses in personal training*. These are sophisticated, university stage programs that give not only theoretical but also simple understanding of the exercising area. A lot of of them count towards Learn of Science degree must a coach desire to pursue one particular. (One particular this sort of instance is UCLA Extension which for numerous years has been regarded as one particular of the ideal courses of its kind). Some demand a certification as a prerequisite to enrollment.
*Be aware that the Certificate is not the same as Certification but following completion of a university stage certification software most college students are able to properly go certification tests as their stage of understanding is a lot much more sophisticated.
four. Is the trainer's certification present?
Every single business needs a specified quantity of continuing education and learning models for each calendar year. A lot of trainers choose the exam and never ever renew their certifications when the time will come. Make sure their certification is present. Just go to the internet site of an business your coach is accredited from and do your research. How credible do you imagine a man or woman is if they took an exam ten years back and their certification is lengthy expired?
5. Continuing education and learning – how often do they choose courses, show up at lectures, symposia and conferences? How a great deal continuing education and learning do they do for each calendar year: the bare least or much more?
They must be able to show you their certificates of completion if requested.
6. Do they have supplemental certifications or training in other complementary fields like nutrition or way of life coaching? These are generally a massive plus not only mainly because they show a trainer's dedication to education and learning in numerous similar fields but also mainly because they will guarantee your demands are much better resolved.
HOW TO Come across A Highly regarded Coach IN YOUR Place?
You can go to the sites of the over outlined businesses and enter your zip code or a trainer's title if you have anyone in thoughts and want to verify their credentials.
A much better way, having said that, is a new internet site by Idea Health and Fitness Association (the biggest instructional physique in the physical fitness industry). Its excellent gain is the point that Idea has completed all the function for you: all present certifications of trainers are outlined and verified for accuracy as perfectly as their insurance plan and CPR training so you can be certain that the information and facts is correct. Trainers outlined have their possess website page wherever you can master much more about them, their parts of abilities, training philosophy, etcetera. You can go through testimonials posted by clientele, go to the trainers' sites, weblogs, publication, Fb and Twitter accounts and see video clips if there are any. In addition, the internet site makes it possible for you to uncover fitness centers and different courses in your area. Just go to: www.ideafit.com/fitnessconnect, pick out a variety of expert you are wanting for and your zip code and you will get a list of names to pick out from. Those that seem on top rated of the list are the optimum rated.
Working experience
one. The ideal certification on the sector is just a start out. If you are younger, balanced, want to get a small fitter and just want a small press to exercising this may perhaps be enough but in most conditions it is NOT. There is nothing like years of simple working experience to make a coach actually superior. This is specially vital if you have wellbeing considerations or complications, are a lot much more critical about physical fitness than most persons or have very distinct aims in thoughts. These can be similar to weight loss, body fat decline, muscle mass attain, your specific wellbeing situation or sport you participate in. It is really hard to advise a distinct volume of years in this article but appear for anyone with at the very least 5 years of working experience or much more.
two. Do they have working experience training different populations and age groups? Have they experienced clientele with your wellbeing situation? Are they perfectly knowledgeable to do that? Will not be scared to question these issues – a superior coach will not come to feel defensive when questioned. They will likely recognize that they are working with an knowledgeable purchaser.
three. Do they question about your health-related historical past and prescription drugs taken?
four. Do they do some kind of an evaluation or evaluation of your first situation that would convey to them what your physical fitness stage is and enable them examine your progress in the potential?
Additional Demands
one. Do they have legitimate expert insurance plan?
two. Are they CPR and AED experienced? This is an specially vital thought if you are aged, on prescription drugs or have critical wellbeing complications.
It never ever ceases to amaze me how number of persons question me about my credentials or are even fascinated in them. Indeed, I know that I have developed a reputation in the physical fitness industry in excess of numerous years and that your friends' referral is what matters to you, but your close friend may perhaps not be the ideal decide following all. Know why you are producing the preference. Do your exploration.
– Is the coach expert in every way?
– Are they on time?
– Do they address you and refer to you with respect?
– Are they focused on the client at all times?
– Are they regularly participating in a conversation with others though training you?
– Are they on their mobile cell phone in the course of the training time?
– Are they generally looking at television screens in the gymnasium as an alternative of shelling out attention to you?
– Do they dress properly?
– Are they seeking to do their possess workout though they are training you?
– Is their language suitable?
– Are they listening to you or do they follow their possess agenda?
– Are they superior listeners in common?
– Are they sensitive to your considerations?
– Do they address you like a buddy? (Even if they are your physique they must not address you like one particular in a expert atmosphere in entrance of others.)
I am not talking about complete perfection in this article. All of us are guilty of compact "misdemeanors" from time to time, like expressing "Hello" to a colleague or club member passing by, having to solution a mobile cell phone call mainly because of some crisis, having distracted by a piece of braking news on Television set, etcetera., etcetera. but carrying out so on a frequent foundation is not appropriate.
Have they spelled out their policies to you in a manner that is satisfactory to you? Are you joyful with the way they communicate with you? Are they simple to reach? Do they answer to your cell phone calls or emails in a well timed manner? Do you come to feel you are remaining listened to? Is the training about YOU or about them? Do they regularly speak about on their own, their possess concerns or complications? Are they prepared to cooperate with your doctors and be a section of your wellbeing team?
Does your trainer's temperament healthy perfectly with yours? Do you want a coach who is nurturing and comfortable or energetic and exuberant or a boot camp drill sergeant?
Health club ETIQUETTE
Is the coach courteous to other associates of the club? Do they respect other members' house or behave as if the gymnasium is their possess? Do they address their colleagues with respect? Do they gossip about other trainers or associates? Are they generally judging other trainers' function or other people's exercises?
Recall that it is Alright for your coach to solution your issues about the workouts others are carrying out or stage to workouts that are downright unsafe as a way of educating you but criticizing others regularly is not Alright.
Regrettably, as in most industries, the much better and much more knowledgeable the expert the higher their fees will be. In the US the costs operate from as very low as $30 a session for commencing trainers in big wellbeing club chains to $300 and even $400 an hour for top rated rated trainers in Hollywood and New York. The normal at the moment, depending on wherever you dwell, is somewhere in the ballpark of $70- $a hundred and fifty for each session. You have to choose your spending budget into account but you should not make your decision dependent on the price tag by itself. Our industry has numerous remarkably capable pros whose training and working experience justifies their fees and is really worth every penny. Recall that continuing education and learning is highly-priced. If you expect your coach to remain on top rated of the most up-to-date exploration you have to be organized to spend for it.
All the over regarded as you must, having said that, retain specified items in thoughts. A lot of of us function from early morning several hours occasionally right until late at night. We are often on our ft all day. We regularly listen to people's complications and problems about their various aches and pains. A lot of clientele address us as their therapists and an psychological outlet for their frustrations. This can be very tiring and draining at times. You should, be comprehension if occasionally we want to sit down or our emphasis dwindles for a number of seconds.
Selecting a personal trainer is an vital decision in your life and if you have a distinct wellbeing situation it may perhaps just convert out to be one particular of the most vital types you will ever make. Will not be scared to do your exploration, question the correct issues and job interview attainable candidates. You wouldn't go to any physician, would you?
All of the over traits are vital when selecting a personal trainer. Will not make this decision flippantly. It is your income. It is your Overall health. And what could be much more vital than that?

The process list is a special doubly linked list. However, as you may have noticed, the Linux kernel uses hundreds of doubly linked lists that store the various kernel data structures.
For each list, a set of primitive operations must be implemented: initializing the list, inserting and deleting an element, scanning the list, and so on. It would be both a waste of programmers' efforts and a waste of memory to replicate the primitive operations for each different list.
Therefore, the Linux kernel defines the list_head data structure, whose fields next and prev represent the forward and back pointers of a generic doubly linked list element, respectively. It is important to note, however, that the pointers in a list_head field store the addresses of other list_head fields rather than the addresses of the whole data structures in which the list_head structure is included (see Figure 3-4).
Figure 3-4. A doubly linked list built with list_head data structures
Figure 3-4. A doubly linked list built with list_head data structures
A new list is created by using the LIST_HEAD(list_name) macro. It declares a new variable named list_name of type list_head, which is the conventional first element of the new list (much as init_task is the conventional first element of the process list).
Several functions and macros implement the primitives, including those shown in the following list.
Inserts an element pointed by n right after the specified element pointed by p (to insert n at the beginning of the list, set p to the address of the conventional first element)
list add tail(n,h)
Inserts an element pointed by n at the end of the list specified by the address h of its conventional first element list_del(p)
Deletes an element pointed by p (there is no need to specify the conventional first element of the list)
Checks if the list specified by the address of its conventional first element is empty list_entry(p,t,f)
Returns the address of the data structure of type t in which the list_head field that has the name f and the address p is included list_for_each(p,h)
Scans the elements of the list specified by the address h of the conventional first element (similar to for_each_task for the process list)

Recently the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence chose not to live up to it's abbreviated moniker (NICE) when considering reimbursement for two new agents eagerly anticipated by both physicians and patients alike. Both agents are hailed as providing meaningful benefits to patients that go beyond just clinical efficacy in their therapy areas, Multiple Sclerosis and Metastatic Breast Cancer. (In the interests of neutrality I will not mention the products by name here!)
These products both secured European regulatory approval and have launched in other European markets. So, drugs launching in the UK seem to need more precise, more meaningful and more compelling evidence to secure reimbursement........oh yes....they also need to be dirt cheap!
With a raft of changes and reforms impacting the NHS, its structure and funding, including the introduction of GP consortia and the QIPP programme tasked with saving £20 Bn by 2014; are the barriers to market in the UK getting higher, more confused and less penetrable? What does this actually mean for pharmaceutical companies and brand teams looking to launch their value adding novel agent? How can brand and market access teams engage in a meaningful way with the right stakeholders in the right way?
These are all questions we have been thinking about here at Branding Science and identified some key areas of understanding that will benefit our Pharma clients.
Determining who the new stakeholders will be both during and after these reforms will enable brand teams to engage effectively and help leverage commissioning priorities in their favour.
Understanding how these reforms are interpreted by the different stakeholders and their potential impact on day-to-day practices will help anticipate the changes that will happen. This process will provide critical insights on the evolution brands have to achieve to resonate in their new environment.
Identifying the real life, underlying priorities of these reforms will enable our clients to focus their brand communications to areas of greatest importance. Eg. If the focus is cost, brands may need to communicate a strong value proposition. If the focus is innovation, client brands may need to show advancement and novelty against current services. Should the focus be the patient, then communicating meaningful patient outcomes and quality of life improvements will be key.
The point is that in a changing environment, it is important for everyone to understand what the reforms mean in real terms – and brand teams in particular have certainly a lot to gain by starting this process early! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject and likewise, work together to find the answers!The author: Joe Gadilhe is Senior Research Executive at Branding Science. With experience across therapy areas, he has managed research projects exploring the views and opinions of payers and physicians in the UK and abroad.

My name is Cathy Daugaard and I would like to stress that I am not a fly-by-night dog trainer (there are a lot of them, unfortunately). I spend a great deal of time and energy developing and perfecting my techniques and feel that I am "gifted" in the area of dog training. I truly love my profession and clients have told me that it shows.
I am a motivational trainer and specialize in off leash obedience and problem solving. I use food, toys, praise, play, affection, body language and psychology to motivate and engage your pet, but I will also tell your dog "no," insist on good behavior and correct when necessary. I follow the "LIMA" principle, that is, "Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive." In other words, it's not about dominance, and it's not about an adversarial relationship with the dog, but eliciting his willing cooperation.
There is a huge need for this kind of training on the Treasure Coast. Many clients have dogs that are graduates of other programs, yet bring their dogs to Pet Etiquette for additional training, because we don't just teach commands, we teach obedience.
I am certified through the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors, a Doggone Safe Presenter, and AKC Canine Good Citizen and Puppy S.T.A.R. Evaluator. I have worked hands on with some of the best trainers from America, Belgium, Germany, and South Africa.
During the past 30 years I have developed insights and abilities that enable me to successfully train pet dogs for the home as well as herding, obedience, tracking, protection, and narcotics detection. I remain committed to rescue and rehabilitation and I have trained both service and therapy dogs.
Because I am committed to providing the most effective, convenient solutions to my clients' dog training needs, I avidly pursue ongoing continuing education and professional development and keep current on all industry literature.
When not helping my clients enjoy easier lives with their canine companions, I enjoy the company of my German Shepherd, Nauti and my Labrador, Alex. Click to meet my dogs. You may get to meet them in person, as they often help train other pets.

FS#8014 - remove LCD-wait in YUV-blit
Opened by Andree Buschmann (Buschel) - Tuesday, 23 October 2007, 06:35 GMT
Last edited by Robert Kukla (roolku) - Wednesday, 31 October 2007, 16:16 GMT
During playing around with the YUV-blit function for the iPod Video I came around the following idea and tested it: One major delay of the Video's LCD-driver is the sequence where we wait for the LCD to be ready for the next screen update. This always needs 14ms, so the drivers yields in such situation.
1st try: Do not wait, but always update the LCD.
This shows a significant speed-up for all videos from a resolution of 224x176 and lower. A maximum of 75fps (before: 47) is reached at 128x96. Nevertheless we very rarely get some errorous pixels while playback. Conclusion: The yielding does not improve the decoding performance.
2nd try: Do not wait, but drop the whole frame update when LCD is not ready.
This will kind of destroy the YUV-blit-measurement in test_fps, but has even more positive effect on the video playback. In this case the yuv-conversion as well as the transfer to LCD's data port is dropped, the next possible update will take place. While video playback the yuv-blit function is called in a cyclic manner. So, you will therefor not loose any frame as there has been no LCD update at all while the former implemented yielding. Effect is that you get a really significant increase in video playback from 224x176 (now: 28fps, before: 24fps) which goes up to 107fps for 128x96.
This change can only be done as yuv-blit is called repeatedly and cannot be applied to lcd_update_rect(). There is no interference with lcd_update_rect().

Boy in the Plastic Bubble, The
LikeTelevision proudly presents - a cult classic made for tv movie called The Boy in the Plastic Bubble starring John Travolta, Robert Reed, Diane Hyland, and Glynnis O'Connor. Travolta stars as Tod Lubitch, a real kid with a huge problem with his immune system, so he has to live in the plastic bubble. While most folks remember the imfamous Jerry Seinfeld episode with the kid in the plastic bubble (a.k.a. Bubble Boy), few have seen this mildly annoying sugar coated California treat. The film is filled with star power - with Robert Reed, best known as Mike Brady from the Brady Bunch as the Dad, Ralph Bellamy as the Immunologist, and Diana Hyland as the mother. As you might already know - she was John Travolta's lover at the time (she was 41, Travolta about 23). She died on March 27, 1977 in Travolta's arms after suffering through breast cancer. Diana Hyland was also the original mom and tv show wife of Dick Van Patten on the show Eight is Enough. Diana Hyland wins an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, the movie was also nominated for an Emmy in Sound Editing and Outstanding Writing in a Special.
Death Ships of Dr. Fu Manchu, The
The LikeTelevision classic tv channel proudly presents The Adventures of Dr. Fu Manchu - our first installment is an episode titled The Death Ships of Dr. Fu Manchu. The evil Doctor Fu Manchu is planning to cause total global chaos by unleashing a strain of deadly plague germs on the unsuspecting major cities of the world. But how will he transport these germs through customs you ask? Why inside some innocent looking melons that are part of the cargo of a ship. The authorities suspect some dangerous cargo, but have great trouble finding the deadly freight since they are hidden in plain sight. Glen Gordon plays the diabolical Dr. Fu Manchu - a non Asian actor who does his level to be Chinese. He delivers his lines in classic fashion, carefully choosing his phrases with very slow delivery as if he were some ancient Chinese Kung Fu master. Do your best to keep from laughing out loud - but you will fail, because it really is just too funny.
Drunken Angel
This is a classic movie - by perhaps the greatest filmmaker of all time, Akira Kurosawa. Dr. Sanada, played by Takashi Shimura (the leader in Seven Samurai), treats a petty criminal named Matsunaga (Toshiro Mifune) with tuberculosis, and tries to get him to work at treating his disease (stop drinking, smoking, get some rest, etc.) Meanwhile, another gangster gets out of prison and a feud breaks out between rival factions. A cool look at the underworld in Japan in post WWII, and the courage of a poor doctor, who is trying to cure another human, even if he is a criminal. We regret that the subtitles are difficult to read - but the story is pretty easy to follow.
Microbe Army
The LikeTelevision Cartoon channel brings you - The Microbe Army - a cool toon with Captain Influenza and a bunch of germs who wage and all out germ war against a poor sap - who catches a cold!
Satanic Rites of Dracula, The
The LikeTelevision movie channel presents a scary Halloween classic - The Satanic Rites of Dracula. An updated, more modern account of the Bram Stoker classic tale of Dracula, who played by the great Christopher Lee and his capable opponent, Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) who comes from a prominent family of vampire hunters. Lots of scary vampires, blood sucking creepies - who get smacked finally by Van Helsing and his comrades who use every - how to get a vampire trick in the book, including the thorns of a hawthorn tree, why - because a hawthorn tree was used to crown Jesus with thorns. Also harmful to vampires, water - which represents purity, a cross, light, and perhaps a few more. This film has lots of spooky action and adult situations, so please - adults only - not for kids.

What is the meaning of suffering, what is its purpose?
From the dawn of mankind, this question has resonated in the anguished hearts of philosopher, prince and peasant alike. No one is spared, and each one must work out the answer to this question alone. Lucky are those with an ethical and spiritual framework that supports the search for meaning, but desolate are those who exist in a system that views their suffering as justified punishment or condemns them as outcasts.
Kim Sun-Tae, 2007 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Public Service, has known the desolation of rejection and despair as well as the transcendence of hope and redemption. From the crucible of adversity he forged not just a will to live, but a mission to extend himself in selfless, Christian service to the visually disabled.
Born in 1940, Kim was an only son who basked in the love, attention and material comforts of a prosperous family. But at the age of ten, in one horror-filled day, his sunny existence collapsed.
In the pre-dawn darkness of Sunday, June 25, 1950, the North Korean People's Army (NKPA), numbering over 100,000 troops and backed up with tanks and aircraft, crossed the 38th parallel, the border between North and South Korea. Its destination – Seoul, the capital of South Korea, only about 50 km. south of the 38th parallel. Within three days Seoul fell to this massive assault. Ten days after the surprise attack, Kim left his parents' home after breakfast to play; when he returned a short while later he discovered his home completely destroyed by bombs, and his parents missing. In the twinkling of an eye he was transformed from a carefree child in a loving and comfortable home to a terrified, homeless orphan in a war zone. His descent into a living hell had started.
With no close relatives in Seoul, he joined seven other orphans, begging and scavenging for food in the ravaged city. Foraging for fruit in a field one day, they chanced upon a mortar shell in a field; while examining it, the shell exploded, immediately killing his companions and blinding Kim.
Blind and near starving, Kim nevertheless was able to make his way, despite many obstacles, to an aunt's house in the city of Yang-Ju. His arrival was most unwelcome. His relatives were very superstitious; they considered him a bringer of bad luck and, throughout the five months that he stayed with them, he was subjected to verbal abuse, harsh beatings, and hard manual labor. As a result of one beating, his ear drum was damaged. He was hidden from neighbors, and given little food.
Throughout this ordeal, he was sustained by his Christian faith, learned in the Sunday School he had attended. Twice he attempted to take his own life; and twice a strange voice commanded him to endure, assuring him that he would survive. Finally, in December of 1950, he overheard his relatives plotting to kill him. Falling on his knees, he prayed to God, promising that if God allowed him to live, he would be a great person and live his life for those who, like him, were blind. He successfully escaped his relatives' home and made his way to Seoul, where he became a beggar. His existence was brightened by acts of kindness from compassionate Koreans and American soldiers, and recalling these kindly acts would revive his lagging spirit. Despite the horrors of being a child beggar during wartime, his faith never wavered; he would bring other child beggars to church, bribing them with food.
More than two years of his life were spent in this existence, during which he endured rotten food, illness, and lacquer poisoning. Eventually the government started to round up child beggars, and Kim was placed in an orphanage. Determined to have an education, he chose an orphanage which would allow him to study and to attend church services. Although he was treated with kindness by some teachers, he still endured bullying by other students and other teachers. He learned Korean Braille, but having felt the calling to be a Christian pastor, he knew that he would have to attend regular schools to attain his goal. He applied to, and was accepted, by the Soongsil High School, where he was the only blind student among three thousand students. Since there were no Braille textbooks, he relied on the help of kind classmates who read the textbooks to him as well as blackboard notes.
By the time of his senior year, a military junta had taken over the government. Under the revised educational system of this administration, disabled persons were no longer allowed to enter college. Undaunted by his initial rejection by the Department of Education, Kim applied thirty-two times to enter college. On his thirty-third attempt, desperate, he brought a knife to the Department of Education and charged at the head of the department. The ensuing newspaper attention made his a hero, and he was finally allowed to take the entrance exam at the Soongsil University.
His four years at the college were spent not only in pursuing a degree in philosophy, but also in training himself in spiritual discipline to prepare for a life of service and material poverty. While at the seminary he had determined that his ministry would be to the blind, and towards this end, started working with various institutions for the blind. While at the seminary, also, he met the woman he would eventually marry, Jung-Ja, who would be his invaluable companion and support throughout his ministry.
He graduated from Soongsil University in 1966; he subsequently obtained a master's degree in Divinity in 1969, and a doctorate in 1982. In 1972, together with the help of another pastor and a blind person, he established the United Church for the Blind, the first church to minister to blind people. At first they held services in a room of Chungmu Church, then in a dilapidated apartment. Eventually a church was built, and as the church and community grew, Korean Braille Bibles were published and distributed to churches in orphanages.
Being pastor of a fledgling church entailed many hardships, not only for Pastor Kim, but also for his wife and two daughters. Money was lacking; he remembers with a pang his inability to provide them with warm clothes during winter, or simple pleasures like ice-cream. His wife, however, was unflagging in her support and care, unhesitatingly quitting her better-paying job at one time to follow him in his pastoral assignment.
In 1973, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Korea established the blind Evangelical Missions within the Evangelical Department and invited Kim to be the director. Under his stewardship, not only were Bibles distributed, but scholarships for the blind were also established, for various disciplines as well as for those called to the ministry. Jobs were provided for students at institutions built for the blind. His responsibilities expanded; in 1972 he became the social welfare organization representative for the visually disabled and from 1972 to 1976 the director of the Blind Evangelical Mission. He also became the director of the Asia Missions Conference for the Visually Disabled.
In 1977, his work for the blind expanded from spiritual ministry to the medical mission of restoring sight to the blind. He received a donation of $8,000 from a lady professor who asked that it be spent on an operation for restoring sight to a blind person The operation undertaken because of that donation was a success. Thus encouraged, the Mission Association for the Blind embarked on more activities to enable more eye operations. The success of these operations generated widespread newspaper attention, and became known as the "Miracle of Siloam" after the Gospel narrative of the blind man cured by Jesus.
At one fund-raising concert sponsored by the Association of Siloam Mothers, the audience was moved by the accounts of blind persons whose sight had been restored by the operations. One of those in the audience, the CEO of a large corporation, was inspired to discuss with Pastor Kim the possibility of setting up an eye hospital. Donations started to flow in; and with the help of the business community, Pastor Kim was able to inaugurate the Siloam hospital in 1986, the 100th anniversary of the introduction of Christianity to Korea. From 1994 to the first half of 2004 the main hospital has provided more than 23,000 free consultations and almost 4,000 free operations.
In 1986, the Siloam Mobile Eye Hospital was established to help people living in the rural areas and remote islands. The mobile hospital has greatly expanded the scope of assistance of the Siloam hospital; from 1995 to 2005 a total of 119,032 free treatments and operations have been performed.
The activities of the Siloam Eye Hospital are not limited to Korea. Medical missions have been sent to Bangladesh, China and the Philippines. In September 1999 the Siloam Eye Center was opened in Yang Ji, China, to provide medical care to the ethnic Koreans and native Chinese in that area.
In 1997, Pastor Kim opened Korea's largest rehabilitation and learning center to help blind and low-vision people cope with life and learn new skills. He has also been instrumental in the passage of laws requiring safe public spaces and employment for the disabled.
Pastor Kim's remarkable life has inspired countless individuals. His fortitude and tenacity in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles have given hope to the disabled and powerless, while the example of his untiring, selfless ministry have inspired others to give with generosity of themselves and their goods. But ultimately, the meaning of his life and his work can be found in the narrative of the Pool of Siloam, in Jesus' reply to his disciples' question – who had sinned, the man or his parents, for him to have been born blind? None of them, Jesus had answered; he was born blind so "that the works of God might be displayed in him." Like the blind man at the pool of Siloam, it is God who has displayed his works in Pastor Kim.

Beyond Red vs. Blue: The Political Typology
Key Facts from Pew Research's Political Typology
Our latest Political Typology survey sorts American voters into cohesive groups based on their attitudes and values and provides a field guide for the constantly changing political landscape. Here are some key facts and shareable findings about these groups and their views of the nation.
America's Political Spectrum
- America's political center is fractured into 4 groups that are as different from each other as from the left and right
- Groups in America's political middle are less partisan, less predictable, and less engaged in politics
- There are three strongly partisan groups in the U.S. today - one left and two right - who make up 36% of the public
- 10% of the public are political bystanders: a young, diverse group on the sidelines
The Parties' Coalitions
- "Solid Liberals" (17% of RVs) anchor the Democrats' coalition, yet Dems must reach other groups
- Main anchors of Republican base are "Steadfast Conservatives" and "Business Conservatives"--27% of registered voters
- Both parties face formidable challenges in reaching beyond their bases to appeal to the middle of the electorate
The Groups in the Middle
- "Young Outsiders" lean Republican, but diverge from GOP orthodoxy on social and other issues
- Economically battered "Hard-Pressed Skeptics" supported Obama in 2012, but more divided today
- "Next Generation Left" -- young, affluent, liberal but skeptical about cost of social programs
- Racially diverse "Faith and Family Left" lean heavily Democratic, but some uneasy with social change
Rifts on the Right
- 73% of "Steadfast Conservatives" see immigrants as a burden; just 21% of "Business Conservatives" agree
- Gap between "Business Conservatives" and "Steadfast Conservatives" on whether Wall St. helps or hurts economy
- "Steadfast Conservatives" deeply skeptical of US global involvement; "Business Conservatives" favor an active US role
Rifts on the Left
- Just 37% of "Faith and Family Left" support same-sex marriage, unlike "Solid Liberals" (89%)
- "Solid Liberals" more supportive of gov't spending for poor than "Next Generation Left"
- 91% of "Faith and Family Left" say belief in God is necessary to be moral compared with 11% of "Solid Liberals"
Views of the Nation
- 76% of "Steadfast Conservatives" say the U.S.'s best years are behind us compared with 49% of overall public
- "Solid Liberals" (70%) and the "Next Generation Left" (65%) say the best is yet to come for the U.S.
- "Steadfast Conservatives" say reliance on principles key to U.S. success; "Solid Liberals" say it's ability to change
- Majorities of all typology groups, especially conservative groups, express low levels of trust in government

The White Paper
"That is mine! You don't take other people's things without permission." I said to my mom as she pulled out the beige envelope from my school bag. You see, that's what she always tells me whenever I go through her handbag or daddy's wallet.
Photography by Charles Ngomo-RoyalReel Photography
She looked at me in disbelief and then laughed. I did not understand what was funny. "Mummy why are you laughing?" She ignored me, just like she always does when I ask too many questions. She then removed the contents of the envelope, a folded white A4 paper which was my report card. She looked at the paper keenly, reading what was written on it. As she carried on, I saw her face lit up. She smiled. At the time, I didn't know what was written on it but I figured it must have been good! She gave me a bear hug and explained that I had been a very good girl at school; that I had excelled in all areas of my studies. I guess it did not matter that I had been sent to naughty corner a few times 🙂
Today marked the close of school for Christmas holidays. We had a party in class where every child brought in their favorite snack. I carried oreos which were devoured in seconds by Trevor and Kigen. I mostly enjoyed Jaydeep's ladus and pendas, Indian sweets that put eclairs to shame. I will miss my friends dearly but I am definitely looking forward to holiday travels. How will you be spending your holidays?
Love, Lil'missbelle.

Have you asked the question, what is meditation? Read now how to get the benefits of meditation without setting time aside to "go meditate."
When I speak with people, I frequently hear that they want to feel more connected. They want increased peace, greater equanimity as well as numerous other benefits of meditation. However they explain that they are too busy or have other reasons they haven't set aside a specific time to do so. I will share with you in this video how to gain the benefits of meditation. You can do so without having to set aside a specific time. I will share what is meditation in a new light and explain how to meditate in a new way.
Let's start by answering what is meditation for me. I believe that the goal of meditation is to ultimately transcend the human experience. This means that you merge the human perspective with the infinite energy reality that simultaneously exists. To explain, right now we can look at things as physical. For example, you have this, you feel this way, you have a car, you have a house, you want to have something. In the energy realm, your energy is already part of everything you most desire and any and all positive emotions such as love, fulfillment, connection, confidence, etc. are available for you to feel now. When you merge the two, you transcend and gain numerous benefits.
Some of the greatest benefits when you transcend during meditation are to:
- Manifest what you want even faster
- Feel happier, more confidently, more energized and any and all other positive emotions you desire
- Receive incredible ideas that leapfrog you forward to what you most desire
- Connect on an energy level with others
- Positively influence others' emotional states and actions
- Speed the healing process of yourself and others
To gain these incredible benefits throughout the day, there are 5 steps. Do these throughout the day when doing things that do not require your complete attention. The more you do them with positive awareness and continually focusing on improving, your skill and results will grow. You will receive the answers needed to the question, what is meditation.
- Place your awareness even more on the present. You can place your attention even more on your breath as you breath in and out. As well as on the energy field of your body. Feeling and becoming even more aware of all the sensations from the surface of your skin and deeper in your body.
- Place your attention even more on the energy of foods and other people. E.g. place your awareness more and more on the things you eat and/or drink as well as visualize other living beings as a radiant energy sources (e.g. their core).
- Visualize and mental experience yourself glowing a white radiant light representing your positive energy and around you a white light of infinite positive energy in the universe. You may see other people as light glowing even more vibrantly.
- Allow the infinite energy in the universe to radiate into you, with beams representing all that you most desire.
- Visualize and mental experience already having the things you most desire and feeling the positive emotions you associate with already having done so.
How to meditate from a personal illustration:
As an example to illustrate the concept of how I transformed a session of doing a chest exercise into a meditation. I was at the gym doing a chest exercise with a machine. I brought myself even more present with my attention and awareness. Visualizing myself, I saw a white glowing light and all around me a white radiant infinite light. The ability was in me to visualize and experience the infinite energy in the universe. It was radiating tranquility, equanimity and strength into my body. Where I was glowing even more vibrantly. When I completed the chest exercises, I felt even more present. I felt relaxed, and incidentally the burning sensation that I normally felt in my final reps was much reduced and I was able to do more.

Confronted with the demands of always connected consumers, it's vitally important for retailers to keep their merchandising operations agile. Foundational planning areas like assortment optimisation, category management and demand planning must run like clockwork to engage with today's consumers in a meaningful way. The Forrester Wave™: Retail Planning, Q3 2017 report points to SAS as a Leader in the retail planning arena.
According to Forrester, SAS excels in omnichannel analytics. "In our evaluation, SAS proved its ability to tackle hard optimisation issues by demonstrating best-in-class size and pack optimisation, execution roadmap, global vision innovation roadmap, partner ecosystem, and supporting products and services. It also demonstrated a low implementation-to-license cost ratio . . . SAS appeals to brands and retailers that might be classed as cautious innovators. They need the security of a large vendor with a massive ecosystem of implementers, and they need help proving the viability of quantitative integrated planning to themselves, but they also need rich functionality that they can extend using a proven platform."
In addition to excelling in omnichannel analytics, the analyst firm cited SAS' experience in customer behaviour analytics, as well as an impressive delivery model and partner ecosystem.
"In this connected age, it is more important than ever for retailers to ensure their planning system is connected, unified and easy to use" said Mike Blanchard, Director of Customer Intelligence Solutions at SAS, North EMEA. "Retail omnichannel analytics from SAS enables retailers to make decisions to satisfy customers who now have the power to shop at any time and on any channel. Through the use of SAS® Analytics, these businesses can optimise their service by simplifying how they process this data, which results in them increasing profit margins, improving key performance indicators and boosting stock service levels".

Borates and Log Homes
Apr 19 2014 11:43 PM | admin in Articles
Let's talk for a bit about borate treatments for your log home. If you've never heard of them, you are probably asking, why would I want it? Well, do you hate the thought of termites of all kinds eating at your house? How about Carpenter ants, Old House Borer beetles, powder beetles, and post beetles? Finally, how about Brown Rot, White Rot, mold, mildew and other wood decaying fungi? I didn't think so. You know, borates can and do kill all the above insects and organisms. Sound a little more interesting now? Let's get started.

Laundry Room Design: start early, I did
Apr 19 2014 11:40 PM | admin in Articles
55 years ago, when I was four, my mother had an old Westinghouse wringer washer. I would snuggle up, with my back against that warm living machine down in the basement. It would go slosh wash, slosh wash, slosh wash all afternoon long...just like some giant mechanical heartbeat. Warm and cozy under a blue car blanket...sitting on an orange crate (they had wooden crates then) I spent my winter afternoons snoozing away. Ah, those were the days.

Log Restoration Sheds Light on Construction
Apr 19 2014 11:23 PM | admin in Articles
We all know that log homes require some annual maintenance, and sometimes the maintenance is more involved, depending upon the climate. For instance, in Western Washington we have considerably more rainfall than many other states. This demands more attention to the maintenance of a log home—climate can quickly damage unprotected logs. I restored a log home in Hawaii where the climate is hot and humid and the logs on this particular log home were so covered with black mold that, in some areas, it had the appearance of having caught fire.

For my first article that will grace this re-incarnated front page of Log Homes on the Internet, I want to examine the role of design and speak of its future. Undoubtedly, we shall return to this topic many more times in the years to come. Since this is the culmination of my life's work and passion, I'd like to show you why it is so cool and what talent and technology have in store for us all. Please bear with my erratic thinking here. My mind is something of a billiard ball.

Weather Considerations not Usually Considered i...
Apr 11 2014 08:25 PM | admin in Articles
As a research meteorologist who specializes in severe weather, I thought long and hard about severe weather as we designed our log home. A colleague once put the problems severe weather pose as follows: it's not the odds, it's the size of the bet! Most information about how weather affects homes details the problems of making the home weather-tight, insulation properties, heat loads, etc. These items mainly refer to HVAC considerations. But weather is much more than seasonal averages, or even seasonal extremes, such as the 90th percentile of low or high temperatures. My concern here is with severe weather: the stuff that gets your NOAA weather radio beeping, or your local TV meteorologist showing off their radar. Here I'll discuss mainly wind survival. Note that I'm not a structural engineer: make sure you work with one who understands your concerns.

Winter Check List for Log Homes
Apr 11 2014 08:13 PM | admin in Articles
It's winter, and your log home is now in the most dangerous part of the year. Why?
Because of the weather, it's not comfortable to get out and look around your home, and in the winter, any moisture we get seems to stay for a while because the moisture doesn't evaporate as quickly as in the summer. Remember, inspecting your house is the single best tool you have to keeping your log home like new. Regular inspections can keep small problems from ever developing into large repair projects. We will take a look at this month is how a little simple trimming can save you big headaches.

text: Swing Sequence: Dustin Johnson\nIf you were to build the perfect power player, he'd look a lot like this guy. Tall and flexible, with long arms and wonderful rhythm, Dustin Johnson is built for speed. And now that his go-to tee shot is a controlled fade, he's hitting more fairways, too. While DJ might seem to be a physical freak, Butch Harmon says there's plenty for average golfers to take away from his swing. Let's take a closer look at what you can learn from the best driver in the game.\nNotice two things in Dustin Johnson's driver setup: His stance is super wide, and the shaft is leaning significantly away from the target. "Standing wide tilts the spine back, setting up a big turn behind the ball," Butch Harmon says. As for the shaft: "He's about to forward press, so the hands will move up."\nRight off the ball, Johnson establishes a wide arc, with his arms extending and wrists hinging gradually. The mistake you see amateurs make is lifting the club vertically.\n"Dustin's width, here and going through, might be the best tip for amateurs. Keep the grip end of the club away from your body," Harmon says.\nJohnson's massive upper-body rotation overshadows a significant turn of the hips. "You hear that the modern swing is, Turn the shoulders, but don't turn the hips," Harmon says. "D.J. proves you can—and should—turn both if you want speed on the downswing."\nAfter turning into his trail leg on the backswing, Johnson starts down by shifting hard to his front side. "See how D.J.'s right elbow looks jammed into his right side? That tells me his lower body is leading," Harmon says. "It lets him maintain the wrist hinge, creating clubhead lag and explosiveness."\n"This is perfect impact for Dustin," Harmon says. "He's so strong, he can have a closed clubface at the top of the swing and then hit the ball with his hands so far ahead that the face comes in dead square." Might be best to just marvel at this position.\nHarmon says another key takeaway is Johnson's forward rotation: "Look at how quickly his weight gets to his front foot and his lower body clears. Try letting your head turn to the target so your body can keep rotating. Don't worry about taking your eye off the ball—nobody's gonna steal it!"\nLooking at Johnson pose the finish, you'd never know the club was going 125 miles an hour at impact. (He ranked 10th last year in clubhead speed.) He's balanced, and his body is fully released, with the right shoulder closer to the target than the left. Harmon says it best: "Hello, liftoff!"

Divorce court after man for concealing assets and fleeing country
Many of those living in Utah that have experienced it for themselves may agree that divorce is generally an unpleasant affair. Under the best of circumstances, divorce mediation is productive and speedy. Other times, however, a major dispute can ensue. And sometimes the conflict is so serious that divorcing parties will attempt to avoid complying with the terms of their divorce agreement. A recent case illustrates just how far some people are willing to go to invade authorities and get out of paying spousal support.
The high-profile divorce dispute is playing out in Illinois, and involves a major figure in the region's financial sector. Upon filing for divorce, the defendant's wife apparently addressed the court over concerns she had about her husband potentially leaving the country and hiding assets in overseas accounts. The court did not immediately respond to the wife's concerns until, however, it became apparent that she was right. Now authorities are unable to locate the husband and he allegedly owes millions of dollars in spousal support.
The husband allegedly transferred more than $12 million into a foreign bank account only days before a divorce court judge ruled that all funds were to remain in the state. The judge involved in the case also accuses the husband of failing to pay taxes on such money. An arrest warrant has been issued for the husband in an effort to force him to pay almost $300,000 in back spousal support payments to his wife. In all, he owes almost $20 million.
The wife claims that throughout their marriage she was primarily responsible for raising the couple's children and managing their households. It's rumored that the husband is now living somewhere in Europe.

Travel and Blogging
Reality here is the day begins twice: once in the morning and again around 7pm. By the time I've downloaded 200 photos it is midnight and that doesn't even count the moonlight walks.
Tomorrow, we head for Roma and a long flight home. The pleasant distraction of choosing the best of the best to post here will make the flight seem short.

I Will Punish Aides Not Committed To Corrupt Free Nigeria – Buhari Issues Warning
President Muhammadu Buhari has issued a stern warning to his political appointees to stop causing him embarrassment with self-serving and corrupt acts that involve the exploitation of his name and office.
While speaking to State House correspondents on Tuesday, December 25, 2018, the president's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, warned political appointees, government officials and party officials against influence peddling for corrupt pecuniary gains and other forms of extortion in the name of the president.
He noted that complaints of extortion of innocent people by what he called "self-serving name droppers & influence peddlers" is causing increasing embarrassment to the Presidency.
"President Muhammadu Buhari had made it very clear since his inauguration that he won't tolerate any form of impropriety by his appointees, aides, and government officials who abuse and misuse their offices for illegal financial advantages," he said.
Shehu further warned that using one's office or influence for private advantage or financial gains is corruption. He noted that Buhari's commitment to fighting corruption at all fronts in his government remains unchanged.
"The President would not tolerate any conduct by anybody to use his name to extort innocent people," he said.
He added that officials in Buhari's government who are not committed to his vision of a corruption-free Nigeria would be "weeded out once caught and punished accordingly

It's deer season and that means lots and lots of Monster Bucks DVDs being viewed around here by the guys. In preparation for the big Thanksgiving hunt, Shayne has been watching the DVDs with Travis in the playroom. Cole has become obsessed with them and during each hunting scene he gets a toy rifle and shoots the TV. Then he screams, "GOT THAT BUCK!" I think pretty soon Daddy will have two little hunters to take out and Mommy will have some solitary shopping time!!!

I've been presenting choreography in Toronto since 1997, using the pseudonym name Vice Versa for work in sound design and video. I formed Company Vice Versa in 2011 to umbrella creative work and collaborations, presenting my first full-length work in January 2012 through the help of CreatiVenture Collective and The Citadel Theatre. In 2014, I completed a Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Dance/Choreography at York University, focusing my research on "physical states of embodiment and their impact on the performer". I continue to work on this, mainly through creative in-studio research with a core group of collaborators, but also through lots of chat with community people here in Toronto. I made a workshop called "Proposal to Piece" that was the result of a Canada Council Research Grant. Toronto Dance Community Love-In recently hosted me in teaching a workshop as part of their Summer Intensive Program. Paul Shepherd scored the class. It was a great time.
As a performer, I will be working with Jeanine Durning on her upcoming commission at Toronto Dance Theatre. Under the Artistic Direction of Christopher House, I've been working with TDT on&off since 1999 and performed in works by Christopher House, Joanna Kotze, Diane Borsato, Jenn Goodwin, The Dietrich Group (DA Hoskins), Ame Henderson, Amanda Acorn, Tedd Robinson, Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie (James Kudelka), ProArteDanza (Roberto Campanello, Robert Glumbek, Guillaume Coté, Matjash Mrozewski and Adam Paolozza), Serge Bennethan, and others.

Issue Date: Monday, September 30th, 2019
Issue Time: 2:10PM MDT
Valid Dates: 10/1– 10/15
Fire danger continues to remain high over the state as the low deepens over the Pacific Northwest and mixes high winds down to the surface. The southwest flow will continue to pull in a very dry air mass over the majority of the state from the southwest over the next couple of days. This can be seen in the water vapor imagery below with the shades of yellow and orange. The jet remains overhead through Wednesday before the low passes to our north and a ridge begins to slide in from the west. Thus, pockets of Elevated and Critical Fire weather are forecast through this period. Overnight cold fronts on Monday and Tuesday will help keep temperatures more seasonable to start this week and could produce some light rainfall for the northeast corner of the state each night. Moisture return from the fronts and cooler temperatures may keep fire danger lower over these locations.
On Tuesday, enhanced convergence along a stalled out front may help produce some moderate afternoon rainfall over the eastern border in the vicinity of Cheyenne and Kiowa County. Meanwhile, over the southeast US, a subtropical high is pulling in higher PW values on its west side. Some of this moist air mass may make its way northward by early Tuesday morning, which could produce rainfall over eastern Baca and Prowers Counties. Should the moisture surge continue northward tomorrow morning over this area, there is a possibility for some heavy rainfall to occur from the morning into the early afternoon. Rain rates should be gradual enough (lower instability) and over a limited area that major flooding should be avoided. Thus, the No Apparent Threat for Event #1. Dry air and subsidence follow the trough's passage, so it should be quiet on the rain front through the end of this week with high temperatures increasing Wednesday and Thursday.
The next low (Event #2) swings rather quickly from west to east over Canada at the end of this week. There doesn't look to be a lot of moisture with this event, and with the main axis to our north there is No Apparent Flood Threat at this time. There will likely be a small increase in moisture as the system approaches, so forecast scattered showers (and snow at the highest elevations) to return to the northern high terrains on Friday and Saturday. If the system is on the drier end, Critical Fire weather could be possible as the surface gradient tightens. An overnight cold front will drop in behind the low Friday night into Saturday, so fall-like weather is anticipated to start this weekend. It should be a great weekend to get out and enjoy the changing leaves!
PW has already started to drop off over western Colorado behind the temporary, post-frontal moisture increase. It will remain well below average through next weekend, and with the jet overhead, fire weather (critical or elevated) is likely tomorrow and Wednesday. Be sure to tune into to your local NWS office for the latest. Over eastern Colorado, there is a slight moisture return behind the frontal passages on Monday and Tuesday evening. With PW still below 0.8 inches, light rainfall and cloud cover will likely be all the atmosphere can muster. PW drops off drastically after Tuesday night and remains well below average the rest of the week. Thus, there will likely be a brief increase in fire danger over eastern Colorado as well. Still quite a lot of variability for moisture return during Event #2, but even if PW can reach 0.7 inches (east), the system will likely only produce scattered showers over the high terrains.
Below are the temperature and precipitation statistics for September. Not surprisingly, it was above to much above average in regards to temperature for the month. The southern Urban Corridor (Colorado Springs to Pueblo) saw temperatures as much as 8-10°F above normal! Precipitation over this same area was 0.75 to 1.5 inches below normal, which means they had only about half of their normal rainfall for September. It was the driest over western Colorado where some areas only were 1.5 to 2.25 inches below normal. Weld County received above average precipitation as well as isolate locations over the eastern border. Climatology for these regions in September is about 1 to 1.5 inches.
Since April 1st (bottom panel), most of Colorado is at/slightly above or below normal precipitation. There are a couple pockets over the northern border that did really well for the season, but overall above average temperatures and below average rainfall (after June) really started to dry things out. The San Juan Mountains, Raton Ridge and portions of the Palmer Ridge/Northeast Plains are 4 to 6 inches below normal for this period. Thus, the D1 drought has returned to the southwest corner (including the western San Juan Mountains) as well as to the Central Mountains near the Continental Divide. All of western Colorado and nearly all of the mountains are in the D0 drought stage. This lack of rainfall is also seen in the decrease of streamflow, which can be found here: USGS daily streamflow conditions.
Event #1: Tuesday (10/1)
No Apparent Threat as the low drops a cold front south and a minor PW surge occurs over the southeast corner of the state.
Looking at much cooler temperatures north of the cold front on Tuesday. This will return some low level moisture as well, so some light showers, fog and cloud cover will be possible over northeast Colorado on Tuesday morning, which includes the northern Front Range. Additional, heavier rainfall will be possible over the Southeast Plains (CO/KS border) tomorrow. The first area to focus on will be the southeast corner as higher PW pushes in the area from morning to early afternoon. The second area to watch, during the afternoon, will be along the stalled out front. Heaviest rainfall is forecast here if the frontal rainfall can push far enough back west (not capped). A couple severe storms may be possible in this area with the main threats being gusty outflow winds and severe hail. South of the front, temperatures will be in the 80°Fs, so looking at quite the temperature gradient over eastern Colorado. Additional overnight rainfall is possible over northeast Colorado as another front pushes south on Tuesday evening. There is No Apparent Flood Threat for any of the rainfall during this period.
Event #2: Friday (10/4) – Saturday (10/5)
No Apparent Threat as another trough pushes from west to east to the north.
Confidence for moisture return (magnitude) is low for this event, but ensemble guidance is showing enough moisture return for at least scattered storms over the northern mountains on Friday. The tropical moisture plume (from the last FTO) looks to remain south and east for this event, with higher confidence in that statement than the last FTO. Thus, there is No Apparent Flood Threat issued. Some scattered storms may possible with residual moisture over the mountains on Saturday, but cooler temperatures will likely keep rain rates low. There is equal chance westerly flow aloft will scour out the remaining moisture and return the fire threat. Due to a strong cold front passage Friday night, a dusting of snow at the highest elevations cannot be rule out. A map is not drawn below due to totals from the system remaining under 0.5 inches.

PLEASANT HILL — Recognizing the increased need for a year-round community space for all to use, Newton Local School's $2.5 million multi-purpose field house project is nearing its completion.
The 17,000 square-foot facility is expected to be completed by mid-December. Superintendent Pat McBride said the Newton Fieldhouse and Community Center will have a dedication at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 5, 2020.
"When it's all said and done, it's our hope this center brings people together," said McBride during a tour of the facility in early October. "We feel like this facility will serve as a focal point for the community to come together."
The fieldhouse features three main areas. A large community room, for events such as reunions, and family and community gatherings, will be dedicated to the memory of the late Larry Powell. Powell served as the district's athletic director as well as started a youth group center called "The Barn."
The Powell Community Room features tables and seating space, a large flat screen television, separate bathrooms and kitchen. The Powell Community Room will be open to the public at any time the facility is open.
McBride said the room is dedicated to Powell who started "The Barn" youth center, which offers a basketball court, weight room and a place where students could gather with one another.
"I'm really proud the fact that we can honor Larry by naming that community room after him," McBride said.
The bulk of the space is a multi-purpose gymnasium with options for full-sized and practice-sized basketball and volleyball courts, a walking/running track around the perimeter of the court and batting cages and pitching area in the mezzanine area. The fieldhouse also has a fitness center with a variety of equipment including free weights, treadmills and other cardio equipment. Floor to ceiling windows in the fitness area offer views of the school's athletic fields.
Level MB is serving as the general contractor for the project.
McBride said the facility can be utilized by Newton students and staff free of charge. Membership options, including a pass to enter the facility during public hours, are being finalized. To date, a $25 per year membership will be offered to parents or grandparents of Newton students. Senior citizens will have a free membership to the facility. Community members who reside in the Newton School district can join for $25 a year with $50 maximum family cap. Community members will get a tour and fitness room guidelines by a trainer to use equipment prior to receiving an access card.
McBride said the idea to build the facility was due to increase demand for an all-year round building for both school and community programs, as well as an athletic space for students and community members. McBride said the district outgrew its own make-shift weight room in an empty classroom of its 1999 addition which students and community members utilized all year round. With increased demand for year-old athletic training as well as community events to be held at the school, McBride said the district was having to turn away groups because of its lack of space or availability. It was then McBride, staff and the board began to discuss adding a multi-purpose, accessibility facility to the district's campus as an amenity for the whole community to use
McBride said the district will pay for the project by financing $1.75 million over the next 15 years. McBride said the district invested a $750,000 down payment to start the project and has received $100,000 in private contributions for the facility. McBride estimated yearly payments of $120,000 will be paid with half of the funding from the district's permanent improvement fund and the other half from its general fund. The district has the option to pay the project off at the end of its 10 years payment plan. The district recently paid off its 1999 building addition early due to refinancing, which freed up funds to make the annual payment for the new fieldhouse project, according to McBride.
In the last decade, the district has had a surge in open enrollment, which adds nearly $700,000 to its general fund each year. McBride said approximately 140 students open enroll into Newton, with 30 students out of Newton.
McBride also said Ohio schools are also being required to partner with community agencies to increase its wellness program, which he said the facility will provide, not only for its students, but for the whole community.
