What others say about PureVPN:
" It is not packed to the gills with advanced features, but it has just enough unique features to stand out from the rest of the VPN service crowd. "
" While PureVPN has a problematic history with privacy, they have improved their policy, backed with GDPR compliance. "
" PureVPN works, sometimes even with Netflix, but it has enough issues to keep the VPN from being your go-to choice for private internet access. "
" [...] we have concerns about the customer service, the real-name policy and the fact that it's essentially based in China. "
What is PureVPN?
Few VPN service providers have been as controversial as PureVPN's GZ Systems Limited of Hong Kong. Mainly, this is because it's not clear how real GZ Systems is. The Pakistani company called Gaditek, on the other hand, is very real and has PureVPN as part of its portfolio. This sort of practice is nothing new on the VPN market – there are valid reasons for developers to function behind a front, the main one being lower chances that law enforcement can compel the VPN into cooperating.
PureVPN, however, has cooperated with authorities regardless of their official jurisdiction, and not just any authorities – they are infamous for helping the FBI. The notoriety is truly well-earned in PureVPN's case because the company not only gave information on its customer: they had information to give, which went against their "no-logs" policy. Luckily, they've now had their no-logs policy independently verified, which helps to improve their reputation.
But aside from the logging scandal, they have been called out for hidden clauses in their policies, a seemingly-malicious level of negligence towards issues like IP/DNS leaks, offering features that only half-function, besides other problems.
But there is a positive side as well. PureVPN displays one of the best levels of performance on the market, is compatible with a wide array of different device types, and leaves some truly remarkable tools at the user's disposal (such as split-tunneling). Moreover, the company seems to have fixed at least some of the more egregious security oversights VPN reviewers have bashed it for.
Overall, as a professional VPN review site, we cannot wholeheartedly recommend this service provider. But we'll be damned if we fail to admit PureVPN has some great upsides.
PureVPN Facts
Where PureVPN is based and why this is important
The official location of the company behind PureVPN – GZ Systems Ltd – is Hong Kong. Legally, this is not a bad place to own a Virtual Private Network. Hong Kong is not part of the 5-9-14 eyes international surveillance framework, meaning the city-state's intelligence agencies should have no reason to share your data with the countries of that framework.
Additionally, there are no data retention laws in Hong Kong, allowing PureVPN to have a legitimate no-logging policy (although history has put this into question).
It is, however, impossible to ignore China's influence in Hong Kong. Perhaps this is not as concerning for users in the west (who are beyond the reach of the Chinese government), but others should beware and probably skip PureVPN altogether.
Gaditek and Pakistan
The probable real owner of PureVPN is Gaditek – a company based in Karachi, Pakistan. This is also a problematic country to run a VPN from: it has data retention laws, and its law enforcement/military have immense power when it comes to getting someone's personal information, especially when that someone is engaging in activities the Pakistani government is not fond of. Additionally, Pakistan's love-hate relationship with the US has concerning implications for the sharing of surveillance data. Of course, these factors are mainly important if the user is a target of Pakistani law enforcement.
What does a PureVPN location say?
Not part of 5-9-14 eyes agreement
Major privacy concerns both in Hong Kong and Pakistan
Compare PureVPN to other providers
We have written 3 articles comparing PureVPN to other VPN services. 1 of these PureVPN lost emphatically (vs ExpressVPN), while the other 2 were a close call (vs IPVanish and PIA). Of course, we only compared PureVPN to other top-notch services and there is no shame in losing these.

Available plans and pricing
One of the strongest aspects of PureVPN – the deals. There are three pricing plans, going from 1 month ($10.95) to 2 years ($3.29 a month billed bi-annually). Currently, there is also an outrageously cheap 1-year plan, available for $2.99 a month billed annually. Each plan allows the user five simultaneous connections. Considering the suite of features (and ignoring some of the security concerns), PureVPN seems like perhaps the best deal on the market today.

In addition to the three regular subscription options, there is also a paid 3-day trial available for $2.50. If you've bought an annual subscription and would like your money back, you can take advantage of the 31-day money-back guarantee (unless you went for the trial). The number "31" is one day over the industry standard of 30 – we can appreciate the sense of humor.
Future customers will be happy to learn that there are plenty of ways they can pay for PureVPN. Aside from the traditional Credit Card and PayPal options, PureVPN also accepts Alipay, various cryptocurrencies, Gift Cards, etc. On this front at least, anonymity is preserved.

Platforms PureVPN supports
PureVPN has custom apps for all of the most popular platforms – Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Linux. Additionally, the VPN offers extensions for Chrome/Firefox and supports a long list of other devices (Routers, Android TV, Amazon FireStick, Microsoft Surface,
Kodi, Roku, Boxee, Now TV Box, Raspberry Pi, Chrome cast, Play Station, and Xbox).
That's not a bad list, even for a tool in the top half of the market. The majority of users should be satisfied – even those who intend to use the full 5 simultaneous connection limit.
The apps are intuitive and easy to use, even with the vast feature list in mind. Perhaps the only negative thing to say is they look atrocious. There's not a good-looking pixel in them.
The various uses of PureVPN
Using a VPN service affords people a general level of online security and privacy. Through encryption, they are less likely to become the victims of targeted marketing campaigns or elaborate social engineering schemes. It is nevertheless true that most users have a particular goal in mind when it comes to VPN services. Here's how PureVPN deals with the most popular user desires.
PureVPN for streaming
The media landscape is littered with streaming platforms, the most popular being familiar names, such as Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime, and so forth. One thing these have in common is their use of geo-blocking to preserve copyright agreements. For the simple user, that might mean not being able to watch their favorite show on Netflix due to living on the wrong part of the globe.
VPN services are a primary method of dealing with geo-blocking, but they are not all equal. PureVPN, for instance, is not the best tool for the job, especially when it comes to unblocking Netflix US. It doesn't help that the app won't let you connect to a specific server, either. Users may find more luck on some of the other streaming platforms, but testing before buying is a good idea.
PureVPN for torrenting
The main requirements for a good torrenting VPN are a good attitude towards P2P, speed, and security. While there may be doubts about PureVPN's security credentials, we would say none of the issues mentioned apply in the case of torrenting.
PureVPN doesn't block or throttle P2P traffic and has P2P-optimized servers. It offers malware protection for those adventurous trips to your local digital Tortuga Island and keeps the speeds up as much as possible.
PureVPN for China and other restricted countries
We strongly advise against using PureVPN if you're a user in China, especially if your activities are sensitive – journalism, activism, etc. The company's official location, Hong Kong, is simply too close to China for comfort.
Also, while the VPN does have a 'Stealth' protocol (which can sometimes be necessary to bypass the Great Firewall of China), it is only available on PureVPN's Windows app.
Users in other VPN-averse countries may have a better time with PureVPN, but there are lots of better choices.

Weekend Recap:
While Friday saw each of our area high school basketball and wrestling events either postponed or cancelled, Saturday brought some exciting events headlined by the North Central Conference Wrestling Tournament from Clarion-Goldfield-Dows High School in Clarion.
The day started with many milestones waiting to fall. By the end of it the 9th and 10th 4-time NCC Champions would be crowned and in the finale a decorated wrestler would earn his 150th victory during the 285 pound championship.
The Webster City Lynx would start out strong, sending 7 total wrestlers into the semifinals but ultimately only 3 of them would advance to the finals.
At 106, Cam Phetxoumphone avenged an earlier loss at the Don Miller Invitational as he manhandled Humboldt Jr. Cole Nelson to the tune of a 9-4 decision to send him to the finals.
At 120, Drake Doolittle Sr. Drake Doolittle started off his big day by pinning Hampton-Dumont's Carl Barkema late in the 1st period to propel him into the finals.
At 126, 2nd seeded sophomore Chase Rattenborg traded blows early with Clarion Goldfield Dows Sophomore Bryce Allen before Allen took a 9-8 lead late into the 3rd period. Rattenborg would turn the tides with 20 seconds left scoring a takedown into a 2 point near-fall to tie the match but with 3 seconds left Allen got the escape to send Chase into the consolation bracket with the 9-8 decision. Rattenborg would run through the consolation bracket and get an unlikely pin of IF-A's Jack Ites while Chase was down by a handful nearing the midway point of the 3rd period to become the Lynx only 3rd place finisher.
Sr. Dalton Peck started strong for the Lynx but was pinned late in the 1st period by Humboldt's Tyler Vitzthum. A victory in the consolation bracket was followed by a 2nd period pin at the hands of HD's Caleb Tabot to place Peck in 4th for his final NCC tournament.
At 160 Sr. Sean Godfredsen made the semi's where he was decked by Clear Lake Sophomore Thomas Gansen to send him to the consolation bracket where, like Peck, he would take a 2nd period pin, Godfredsen's at the hands of IF-A Sr. Levi Henderson.
Sr. Michael Gilbert drew the tough task of wrestling 182's top-seeded Sam Wigans of CGD and Wigans would finish the match in the 1st with a late pin. Gilbert would fall to Clear Lake's Dylan Kruckenberg before defeating HD's Gavin Walker for the 2nd time of the day with a 3rd period pin to finish 5th.
At 195, Caleb Olson came in as the #2 seed and wrestled a plucky senior in the form of CGD's Colby Lienemann. Olson stayed disciplined and took the points given him for a 5-0 victory to send him to the finals.
The Lynx were vacant at 220 but at 285 Gage Rossing would take 3 losses to finish 6th.
The Finals
Webster City wouldn't have to wait long as their first finalist hit the mat to kick things off at 106. Freshman Cam Phetxoumphone entered the conference tournament with a 26-4 record and hadn't taken a loss since the calendar flipped to 2019. Cam entered as the 2-seed behind IFA's Brody Hoversten in a bracket that featured 3 wrestlers ranked by both ThePredicament.com and IAWrestle.com. Ultimately Phetxoumphone would have his way with unranked HD Sophomore Jakyb Kapp as the Lynx low-weight came away with the pin just 22 seconds in. The league title is the first for Cam but undoubtedly won't be his last.
Here's Camron Phetxoumphone talking about what it meant to him to earn his first conference title:
The next title for the Lynx involved a familiar face not only for Webster City fans but North Central Conference wrestling aficionados in general. Sr. Drake Doolittle has had his way with the yearly league contest and its entrants since he entered the league tourney as a freshman back in 2016. On Saturday, Drake would cap off a conference tournament career that has seen him become just the 9th NCC wrestler and 1st Webster City grappler ever to step to the top of his podium 4 consecutive times. Doolittle wrestled scrappy CGD Cowboy freshman Garrett Seaba, who himself was going for the 30th victory of his freshman season. The championship bout would end with a 12-6 score in favor of Doolittle but ultimately that score would make it appear to be a closer match than it was. Doolittle quickly scored 2 takedowns just to allow Seaba the escape but the match was never in doubt, until the briefest of moments in the 3rd. Doolittle had Seaba on the mat an pinned Seaba's arm to his chest before rolling him over for back points. For the slimmest of seconds Seaba slipped out of the hold and turned over on top of Doolittle who quickly rolled to his stomach to give up the reversal before going out of bounds. Ultimately, Doolittle would get the escape on the restart and ride the clock out for the 6-point victory to become the first Lynx wrestlers to gain a title in each NCC tournament he took part in. After Clear Lake's Eric Faught became the 10th NCC 4-timer following his 132-pound victory, both wrestlers were honored with a standing ovation.
In this interview after the match Drake Doolittle remained humble as always but did crack a smile when asked where he's gonna put all these title brackets.
And in the final championship match that would feature a Lynx wrestler, 6th ranked Sr. Caleb Olson battle 5th ranked HD Sr. Dalton Chipp for the 2nd time this season. The two met at a triangular dual in at Webster City High School on January 3rd with Chipp coming out on the right side of a tight 5-4 decision. This time around Olson would take his first lead in the rivalry, going up 7-5 late in the 2nd but momentum would swing the wrong way. An escape to start the 3rd and an early takedown gave Chipp an 8-7 lead that he would carry until the waning moments when Olson attempted a desperation shot that was countered by the Bulldogs senior to secure his 10-7 victory and 2nd consecutive NCC Championship. Olson was the Lynx lone runner up on the day and sits at 27 and 3 this season.
Here is Lynx head Coach Chad Hisler on the day that was at the North Central Conference Tournament.
The Lynx would finish 5th of 8 in team points while Clarion Goldfield Dows would finish on top. Clear Lake finished in 2nd, with Hampton-Dumont 3rd, and Humboldt 4th.
The Webster City Lynx wrestlers will be back at it Tuesday night when they host Roland-Story for a dual and then will head to Story City Saturday for the Norsemen Duals to close out the regular season before the sectional tournament starts February 2nd.

Bitcoin price plummets as Virgin Money bans buying cryptocurrency on credit cards
THE bitcoin price has fallen as Virgin Money banned purches of cryptocurrency on its credit cards in a similar move to Lloyds Banking Group and several US investment banks.
Vrgin is the latest bank to ban buying crypto on credit card
The value of bitcoin has fallen from $19,850 in December to $6,575 after the value of the cryptocurrency halved in less than two months.
Banks are concerned customers will run up huge debts due to the volatility of cryptocurrencies.
It is thought hundreds of thousands of people invested in bitcoin last year as the digital currency's value soared in the final months of 2017.
Bitcoin value reached $19,600 in December, before rapidly falling to less than $6,000 today.
The banks are likely feeling the heat right now; they have customers that used debt to enter the market during the recent Bitcoin bull run
Virgin Money's spokesperson said: "Following a review of our policies, I can confirm customers will no longer be able to use their Virgin Money credit card to purchase crypto-currencies."
Other British banks are expected to follow suit over the coming weeks after several of the biggest US banks including JP Morgan, Bank of America and Citigroup all confirmed plans to block attempts to buy digital currencies.
British banking giant Lloyds' ban came into effect yesterday.
A spokesman for Lloyds said the decision was made to "protect customers" in what is thought to be a pre-emptive move to reduce the risks that come with the volatile cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin price has plummeted
The news comes amid growing international concerns about how the increasingly popular cryptocurrencies are being used, with fears some people are using them to launder money.
Greg Adams, the managing director of blokt.com, told Express.co.uk the law surrounding cryptocurrency is in desperate need of further clarification.
He said: "The banks are likely feeling the heat right now; they have customers that used debt to enter the market during the recent Bitcoin bull run.
"Customers that entered at the top (close to $20,000) using a credit card will be panicking seeing their investments down over 60 per cent.
"The law regarding buying cryptocurrency on credit is a grey area and is in need of clarity. Banks are probably worried about being liable for losses.
A number of banks have banned Bitcoin purchases on credit card
Theresa May has previously earned about the dangers of cryptocurrencies and said it is something that should be looked at "very seriously".
She said: "Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, we should be looking at these very seriously, precisely because of the way that they can be used, particularly by criminals."
Cryptocurrency technology allows users to make payments and store money on the internet without needing to use their name or a bank.
The Treasury said that it intends to update regulation to bring virtual currency platforms into anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regulation.
Facebook recently announced it would block any advertising that promotes crypto-currency products and services.

The Paradox of Regulation
What Regulation Can Achieve and What it Cannot
Fiona Haines
Chapter 9: Conclusion
Fiona Haines
The analysis of regulation presented in this book demonstrates the need for a comprehensive and dynamic appreciation of the challenges that regulation is required to address. These challenges are diverse and encompass political and social as well as actuarial risks. Such diversity demonstrates the limits of studying compliance without considering the goals that infuse reform and of scrutinising reform without taking account of whether and how compliance occurs. In the wake of the three events analysed in the chapters above, regulatory reforms cascaded from parliaments through to regulatory agencies and finally made their presence felt at workplaces. Within disparate worksites new infrastructure was created, routines reconfigured and records developed to demonstrate compliance. In this process, improvements were made that could reduce the risk of future disaster, a demonstration that regulatory reform can result in a 'spiral of progress' as Kahn (1990) hoped. There were clear examples in this study where the lessons of disaster were learnt, leading to enhanced and well-designed regulatory regimes and high levels of compliance. Here, 'Never again' could ring true. At the level of regulatory technique, the wisdom behind a meta-regulatory approach (Parker 2002), as exemplified by the major hazards regime in Victoria, demonstrated the power of drawing on local knowledge, together with rigorous oversight, as an effective method of reducing the risk of low probability yet high impact events. Yet, there were also examples of failure, which were well understood by the regulatory literature with examples of ritualistic (for example, Power 1997) and creative compliance...

Shelley Beyak has a message for her children, Mia, 9, and Liam, 8, who were abducted by their father and were taken to Lebanon in March: "It's not your fault that this happened. I will always keep looking for you."
The Abbotsford mother also has a message for their father, Wissam Tarabichi: "I really want him to know that this can be resolved. I still want him here, and involved with the children because that's what's best for them."
Beyak has not seen her kids since Tarabichi took them on a weeklong trip to Seattle during spring break. When the children did not show up for school on April 3, the school contacted Beyak. Beyak didn't want to believe they had been abducted.
"I called the hospitals, thinking maybe there had been an accident," said Beyak. Then she left work and went to Tarabichi's house to discover it was eerily vacant. An internet search showed that her former partner had surreptitiously listed the house for sale "with contents."
Beyak was shocked. "I was sick to my stomach."
After Beyak filed a missing persons report, the RCMP was able to track the children's passports. "He had taken them to Seattle, from there they boarded a plane to France. A week later, we found out they were in Beirut."
There are now two warrants for his arrest under Section 282 of the Criminal Code: Abduction in contravention of a custody order.
"I don't know where they are. I don't know what he's telling them. I don't know if the kids think I'm dead or alive," said Beyak.
Beyak, a youth worker, has since discovered that Tarabichi, mild-mannered former Telus employee, had meticulously planned the kidnapping. In the months before his disappearance, Tarabichi had transferred large amounts of money out of Canada, and his mother had quietly moved back to Lebanon.
Beyak met Tarabichi in 2006, when she travelled to Beirut from Cairo, where she had been teaching English. The couple married, and two children quickly followed. In 2010, months after Liam was born, the couple moved to Canada and settled in Abbotsford.
Shortly after their arrival in Canada, they separated. Tarabichi moved back to Lebanon for 18 months. When he returned to Canada in 2012, the couple began to work out a shared custody agreement.
Eventually overnight visits with their father extended to a 50-50 custody agreement that, said Beyak, was sometimes difficult, but fair to both parents.
"I always wanted to do what is in the children's best interests, and I believe children need both parents," said Beyak.
Tarabichi began to press for permission to travel internationally with the kids, arguing in court that he owned a home, and had a good job and would never leave Canada. In 2017, Tarabichi received permission to travel with the children to France.
Beyak believes the trip to France was about building trust: showing the parenting coordinator and the B.C. family court that he could take the children out of the country and would bring them back.
But when he returned, Tarabichi announced that he had lost the children's passports. Tarabichi also let it slip during a meeting with their parenting coordinator that he had taken the children to Lebanon during that time. He later retracted the statement.
"I think he 'lost' the passports because he didn't want me to see the stamp showing he had taken them to Lebanon."
In December 2017, Tarabichi took Beyak to court, requesting permission to travel the world and go to the Middle East with the kids, without having to get permission from their mother. Beyak was vehemently opposed: The lost passports and the possibility that he had already taken them to Lebanon were red flags.
Beyak said she felt that the family court judge didn't take her concerns seriously. She was counselled to give a little, and allow Tarabichi to travel to the U.S. with the kids. "My lawyer wanted me to show I was willing to mediate and come to some sort of resolution."
When Tarabichi announced he was taking the kids to Seattle for spring break, Beyak had no choice but to comply. She hasn't seen them since.
Tarabichi has had sporadic contact with Canadian authorities in Lebanon, said Beyak. "Before he agrees to mediation, he has requested I give up my parental rights, and to have the international arrest warrants removed."
Beyak has no control over the arrest warrant. "Crown has been very clear that they will not discuss dropping the charges until the children are back on Canadian soil," said Beyak.
Lebanon is not a member of the Hague convention, a multilateral treaty that protects children from international abduction. In Lebanon, international child kidnapping by parents is not recognized as a crime and custody decisions are often made by religious authorities.
In a statement the B.C. Ministry of the Attorney General said, "When a child has been taken to a country that is not a party to the (Hague) convention, the central authority does not have a role and must refer parents to Global Affairs Canada.
Beyak appreciates the efforts Global Affairs has made on her children's' behalf, but she urges stronger action. "Lebanon needs to be held accountable by Canada, and by the international community."
Beyak is raising funds to hire a lawyer in Beirut through a gofundme https://ca.gofundme.com/5ejxr68

The new Fiat Viaggio will start production on June 28 at a new plant in the Changsha Economic Zone in Hunan province. Viaggio, which is Italian for journey, will be the first product of GAC Fiat Automobile, the 50-50 joint venture between Fiat and China's Guangzhou Automobile Group.
Jack Cheng, Fiat China boss and GAC Fiat general manager, is confident that Fiat will be successful this time in China with the help of products like the new Viaggio. He described the Viaggio as "an Alfa Romeo Giulietta" that could be bought with a Fiat price. The Viaggio is actually a reworked version of the Dodge Dart, which is based on the Giulietta.
The official price hasn't been announced yet. Fiat has set a target for sales to reach 20,000 Viaggio units in 2012 and 100,000 units in 2013. Last year, fewer than 2,000 vehicles were sold by Fiat in China.
Right now isn't a very good time for Fiat to embark on another campaign in China. The demand is weakening in China after several years of new-car sales rising by double digits.
This is due to more expensive fuel and a slowing economy. While the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers is still optimistic that new-car sales will increase by 8% in 2012, it realizes that it's possible that full-year new-car sales growth rate will become negative.
But if this does happen, the total passenger-car market would still be around 13 million units. Cheng admitted that Fiat and Guangzhou have yet to decide the Viaggio's price. However, he confirmed that the model will go up against the Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Volkswagen Lavida and Sagitar.
These models have a starting price of between 120,000 yuan and 130,000 yuan (about 14,400 euros to 15,600 euros). Even if the Viaggio has a comparable price, it would still be much more affordable than the Fiat 500 minicar in China.
Using Italian design as an inspiration, the new Fiat Viaggio combines more contemporary fashion elements with a hint of the classic in order to bring out more from this passionate legend from Italy. This new model was designed at the Turin-based Style Centre of Fiat Group. With an exterior having an expressive design that has a clean surface, it mixes in strong proportions with curved and fluid shapes.
Despite have a more modern design, this Fiat model continues to have that well-known identity the brand is known for. The use of refined LED lights for the tail lamps in the rear gives it that look of superior quality.
Meanwhile by extending the C-pillar, this ensured that the profile would be smooth. Starting from the base model, the use of various chrome details allowed the Viaggio to have a classy appearance.
Without a doubt, the exterior and the interior of the Viaggio has been designed to have that unique Italian style. It is a compact sedan never before seen in its class. Using the platform and architecture it was based form, the overall dimensions of the Viaggio can be described as longer, wider, and lower. It is clear that it has that dynamic appeal which has been modified to give it handling and ride that leads its segment.
This newest premium class model from Fiat will be making its official debut at the 2012 Beijing International Auto Show. In order to better represent the journey it has taken from Italy to China, the brand gave it the Chinese name Fei Xiang.
Through this, Fiat hopes to bring to mind the experience of being able to dream and discover a new lifestyle that is fitting for the La Vita è Bella position. Translated as "life is beautiful," this is the best representation of the Italian way of not simply living life to its fullest but also doing it with style and passion.

In regards to a couple of recent "letters to the editor":
Again, I will go back to a presentation by Lisa De La Rue who suggested that, after doing an extensive literature review, the optimal size for a school is 600-900 students. Currently, Unit 4 is planning for two 1700-hundred-student high schools. According to the FAQ, allegedly this is "what the community wants". I personally disagree with this general statement, based on the way the original Dejong-Richter questions were asked, and the fact that even Dejong-Richter mentioned that a third high school is worth discussing. It was never discussed.
To this date, Unit 4 has had a narrow focus of looking for 1700-hundred-student high school on a plot of land whose size requirements seem to bounce around a lot, from 35 acres to 80 acres to 47 acres. I have not heard Unit 4 talk about possibly doing a third high school altogether. And for that matter, what about 4 or 5 total high schools? You think I am crazy – the administrative and logistical overhead for that many high schools would make them cost inefficient. A very interesting thought, considering that the primary purpose of a public school system is to teach kids, not cut corners. If the focus is truly to make kids successful at life, we should be asking how does that best happen. And yes, I realize that there are many different theories, opinions and passionate arguments about how best to "do" education. Most likely, there is no one single answer, no silver bullet – our society, our technology and our understanding of the universe around us continues to change every second. Our approach to education and pedagogy must be equally agile. But since it has not been, we are stuck where we are today, arguing and complaining about where to put a so-called "21st century" high school.
Here are some quick thoughts on the "more than 2 high schools" scenario:
- More flexible and dexterous in the long-run; a building can house a set number of students, but can be re-purposed as either a high school or a middle school or even a PreK building in the future.
- Most immediately address physical space needs at the lowest cost – you don't need to spend mega millions on brand new facilities that house a large population of students.
- Infinitely more options open up where you can put that smaller building. Judah site? Bradley and Neil? Bristol Park? West of I-57? North of I-74? South of Windsor Road?
- Yes, under the current model there would be more administrative staff. But do we really need all those positions at smaller schools? I question why we have so much overhead – is it purely because of all these myriad unfunded mandates from lawyers, the Koch brothers, DC and Redmond?
Lest we forget, this whole dilemma is much more than just a high school. This effects how we plan for the future, how we "do" education, and what we prioritize as a community.

This session will provide an overview some of the applications, opportunities, and challenges machine learning/AI is bringing to biomedical research and healthcare environments. One major focus of discussion will be around how AI will allow us to learn functional relationships from high-dimensional data to make derive predictive models. AI is already impacting data analysis in many areas such as, imaging, electronic health records, genomics, and wearable devices. The field is moving quickly, the advances have been many, yet there remain significant obstacles. The goal of the session is to stimulate thought and discussion about how our medical school's research environment are restructuring to take full advantage of this exciting opportunity.Learning Objectives:1. Appreciate the expanding role machine learning/AI has taken in diverse health data analyses.2. Understand how AI has served to complement MDs in addressing problem in biomedical data analysis in healthcare.3. Gain perspective as to how machine learning can create useful, predictive models from vast quantities and broadly sourced raw data.4. Explore the requisite infrastructure and university support needed to launch competitive efforts in data science and machine learning.
How new NIH policies and the upcoming revisions to the Common Rule will impact the conduct of clinical research is still under discussion. This session will allow attendees on the front line on implementation to hear from and engage with federal officials who are most knowledgeable about these policies, discuss challenges, and be aware of available resources to assist them with implementation.
Learning objectives:
1. Know the key NIH policy changes that affect clinical research being conducted at your institution.
2. Understand when the changes to the Common Rule might take place and what institutions can implement now or prepare for in advance.
3. Learn about the resources available from federal sources, the activities of the AAMC, and strategies of peer institutions to facilitate implementation.
This session will highlight the recent NASEM Report: Strengthening Disaster Resilience of the Academic Biomedical Research Community – Protecting the Nation's Investment, presented by Dr. Georges Benjamin, which focused on the preparedness of the research enterprise.
In this session, we invite you to participate in an exercise on simulated response to an emergency while under duress, known as Tactical Decision Games (TDG), led by Dr. Jennifer Pullium and her team based upon their experiences in responding to Super Storm Sandy at NYU.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1. Develop ability to formally evaluate risk under duress.
2. Develop tools to quickly assess whether identified leaders are prepared for their roles during and after a disaster.
3. Learn how to initiate integrated institutional disaster response.

Olympic silver medallist Colin Jackson recently welcomed the 500 runners who were given free places at the IAAF/Cardiff University World Half Marathon Championships. The entries were made available to those within Welsh communities and to enthusiastic new runners as part of the IAAF's 'Athletics for a Better World' social responsibility programme.
The race, scheduled for Saturday 26 March, will be of added significance as the city plays host to the 22nd edition of the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships.
The release of the 500 places is part of IAAF, event organisers Run 4 Wales and title sponsors Cardiff University's drive to promote running as an accessible physical activity that can improve long-term health.
Jackson, who grew up in Llanedeyrn in Cardiff, commented: "I grew up on a council estate and sport changed my life. Athletics is a very important tool in promoting social change. The great thing about the IAAF/Cardiff University World Half Marathon Championships is anyone can take part. It doesn't matter if you are a complete beginner taking your first steps into running, if you commit to it and dedicate yourself to the training then you will be able to finish."
Jackson added: "Cardiff 2016 is going to be a fantastic event and might be the only time the World Half Marathon Championships comes to Wales, so I'd urge everyone to make the most of the opportunity because I guarantee they won't regret it."
One group who will be taking part is the 3Gs Development Trust, a community regeneration partnership in north Merthyr. They have been preparing for the race by meeting up for group training sessions and member Kerry Lewis believes the half marathon has brought the team even closer together: "We've all grown up in the same area so it's been great training as a team - we're all like brothers. Most of us are completely new to running but we're all really enjoying it. It's given us something to focus on and is keeping a few of the boys out of trouble."

Clients often discover that they'll save a substantial amount of time and money by deciding upfront which tiles mouldings fixtures and appurtenances they're going to use and having every part on the location where the work is to be performed.
When she first looked at it she advised me round $20,000 to $30,000 for the 2 bogs and the grasp closet – she was manner off! This may end up saving you some huge cash on repairs in the long run. At $10,000, seemingly small improvements can yield good-looking outcomes, and, therefore, increase a home's value.

New technique for moulding flexible PCBs
Model Solution has created a unique manufacturing solution for a company trying to validate the mass production potential of its wearable device design. The Myo armband from Thalmic offers touch-free control of technology with hand gestures and motion. Via a wearable presentation remote, the Myo gesture control armband reads a user's muscle activity and hand motion to control presentation software.
Thalmic needed to prove the touch free controller could be manufactured at a reasonable cost. To accomplish this task, Model Solution has developed 14 individual tools used to generate the production run, including a new method to hold flexible PCBs in place while moulding around them.
The Myo device contained a long flexible PCB that was very difficult to work with because it did not have the restitution force necessary for efficient assembly or injection moulding. Choosing suitable materials to be used in the injection moulding process also proved difficult. The wearable device also needed to utilize a flexible, yet rugged material to provide a comfortable user experience with high reliability.
Model Solution worked with Thalmic's design team to utilize insert moulding and sub-overmoulding techniques that enabled the creation of a thin flat FPCB that could be curved into a U-shape, increasing its force of restitution. After selecting a suitable material, Model Solution was able to draw upon its advanced quick-turn tooling capabilities utilizing a combination of semi-automatic and manual tooling to produce the production run.

What are the Benefits of Respite Care?
Do you need to travel for a work trip? Are you considering a romantic getaway for your anniversary? Are you hesitant to plan anything because you don't know who will care for your aging parent while you are gone? This is a dilemma that faces many primary caregivers. Some will choose to skip attending a friend's wedding, taking a vacation, or visiting distant family members because they can't travel with their parent and have no one who can care for them. This doesn't have to be the case. Most assisted living communities offer a short-term care option to care for your parent while you travel or take a much-deserved break.
What is respite care?
Short-term care, or respite care, is an option for your parent, or spouse to stay in an assisted living community for a short stay, where they are safe and cared for by professionals. You can rest assured that they will receive 24-hour care from specifically-trained staff, including medication management, and assistance with the activities of daily living. They will be a part of the community and able to participate in activities and socialize with other residents. They will be served three meals a day plus snacks. Your loved one can use all the amenities of the building from the movie theater and exercise classes to transportation and the beauty salon. While you are traveling, they will get their own vacation in a comfortable home that caters to their needs.
Many caregivers are hesitant to leave a parent with another family member, or friend, particularly if they suffer from memory loss. Respite care is an excellent option if your loved one has Alzheimer's or other form of dementia. Memory care communities employ staff who are sensitive to the behavioral traits and issues that may come with memory loss. They are specially-trained to redirect and calm residents who may be agitated or anxious. They will keep your parent safe and treat them with dignity.
What are the benefits of respite care?
• Peace of mind. Your parent will be cared for by trained professionals with experience in caring for elderly residents. You can be confident that they will be well looked after and safe during their stay.
• Opportunity to make new friends and socialize. Your parent will meet a whole new community of peers during meals and activities throughout the day.
• Extra time to recuperate after a hospital stay. If your parent has had a hip replacement or is recovering from surgery, they can take a little more time to heal during a short-term stay. They will get 24/7 support from staff who can help manage medications and meet all their needs for a full recovery.
• A place to stay in an emergency. If the worst happens, such as a house fire or flood, a short-term stay can benefit an elderly family member whose home is uninhabitable or unsafe.
• A break for a stressed caregiver. Caregiving is a full-time job that can be over whelming. Caregivers can take time for themselves to recharge and rejuvenate during a break.
• Experience the community before becoming a full-time resident. Your parent may enjoy their stay so much that they want to make a permanent change. It's an excellent way to meet other residents, try the food, experience the amenities, and ease into a transition to full-time.

"Opportunities don't happen. You create them." — Chris Grosser, salesman and photographer
What opportunities are you creating for your business and clients in 2020? Nextlevel Thinking can help position you to reach your goals this year and beyond!
"Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they've suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us."
On November 5, 1983 Ronald Reagan made a poignant address to America's Veterans via his weekly radio address.
My Fellow Americans:
Next Friday, November 11th, we'll celebrate Veterans Day — the day America sets aside to honor millions of our finest heroes. They are the men and women who defend our country and preserve our peace and freedom. This Veterans Day offers more reason than ever to think about what these special people mean to America.
Our most recent heroes — those still serving and those who have just come back from Beirut and Grenada — carried on with the same dedication and valor as their colleagues before them. If we remember that their dedicated service is in defense of our freedom and if we understand that they put their lives on the line so we might enjoy justice and liberty, then their sacrifices will not be in vain. This is our obligation. And this has been the spirit of Veterans Day from the beginning.
Veterans Day was originally called Armistice Day. It was first celebrated in 1919, the year we commemorated the armistice ending a war that was to have ended all wars. Two years later, a solemn ceremony was held in Chalons-sur-Marne, a town in northeastern France. The ceremony would have deep meaning for America. The remains of four unknown American soldiers had been brought to the town square from four American military cemeteries in France. An American sergeant, Edward F. Younger, placed a bouquet of white roses on one of the caskets. The American Unknown Soldier of World War I had been designated. After transport across the Atlantic aboard Admiral Dewey's flagship, the cruiser Olympia, our nation laid this hero to rest in Arlington National Cemetery on Armistice Day, November 11, 1921.
Sixty-two years have now passed. Millions of people from every corner of the world have come to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to pay their respects to America's fallen heroes. The First World War did not end all wars. The assault on freedom and human dignity did not end. Our nation had laid to rest too many other heroes. From Guadalcanal and Omaha Beach to Mig Alley and Pork Chop Hill, from Khe Sanh and the A Shau Valley to Beirut, America's best continue to give of themselves for us and for freedom-loving people everywhere. Yes, veterans have given their best for all of us, and we must continue to do our best by them.
Today, I reaffirm my determination to obtain the fullest possible accounting for our Americans missing in Southeast Asia. The sacrifices they made and may still be making and the uncertainty their families still endure deeply trouble us all. We must not rest until we know their fate.
Our hearts turn also to our disabled veterans. Their sacrifices and hardship endure every day of the year. A compassionate government will show them that we do remember and honor them. We will meet their special needs. In particular, there is no substitute for caring, quality health care, and that care will be provided.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. I went there to pay tribute to the many who gave their last full measure of their devotion. They kept faith with us and, indeed, they were heroes. Where do we get such brave young Americans? And where do we get those that came to their aid — the marines in Beirut who witnessed an unspeakable tragedy and returned to their posts with the same dedication and even greater resolve; the air crews working around the clock; the Army doctors performing medical miracles; and the sailors helping in countless ways? Such men and women can only come from a nation that remains true to the ideals of our Founding Fathers.
I also met with families and friends of those who lost their lives. I share their sorrow, and they have my prayers, as I know they have yours. These brave men protected our heritage of liberty. We must carry on. I believe we can and will. The spirit and patriotism that made America great is alive and well.
There was a brief ceremony in a hospital ward of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, last week that showed what I'm talking about. News photographers were taking pictures of soldiers who had just been awarded Purple Hearts and other decorations for valor. One wounded soldier, Private First Class Timothy Romick of the First Battalion, 75th Rangers, wearing a Purple Heart and a Combat Infantry Badge on his pajamas, interrupted the photographers. He said, "Wait a minute." And he pulled out a small American flag. This young Army ranger put the flag above his decorations. And then he said, "Okay. You can take your pictures now, because this is what I'm proudest of."
Each time our nation has called upon our citizens to serve, the best have come forward. Words cannot express our gratitude and admiration. But we can and should take the opportunity on this Veterans Day to remember their gift to us. When you see one of our young men and women in uniform on the street or someplace, how about a smiling "hello" and, maybe, a "thank you."
Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they've suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us. That is our duty. They have never let America down. We will not let them down.
Until next week, thanks for listening, and God bless you.

The holiday season is coming up on us fast. As an entrepreneur, this is an important opportunity to connect with your clients and customers.
It's time to start getting your holiday marketing plan in motion. The Next Level Team is here with 5 Holiday Tips to help ensure your email marketing is holiday ready:
Let us know if you have additional Tips and Tricks for Holiday Campaigns or if you are in need of help developing and implementing an effective marketing strategy. We would love to hear from you!
1. The idea first became public in 1882. In September 1882, the unions of New York City decided to have a parade to celebrate their members being in unions, and to show support for all unions. At least 20,000 people were there, and the workers had to give up a day's pay to attend. There was also a lot of beer involved in the event.
2. The New York parade inspired other unions. Other regions started having parades, and by 1887, Oregon, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Colorado made Labor Day a state holiday.
3. How did the Haymarket Affair influence Labor Day? On May 4, 1886, a bomb exploded at a union rally in Chicago's Haymarket Square, which led to violence that killed seven police officers and four others. The incident also led to May 1 being celebrated in most nations as Workers Day. The U.S. government chose Labor Day instead to avoid a celebration on May 1 and New York's unions had already picked the first Monday in September for their holiday.
4. Two people with similar names are credited with that first New York City event. Matthew Maguire, a machinist, and Peter McGuire, a carpenter, have been linked to the 1882 parade. The men were from rival unions; in 2011, Linda Stinson, a former U.S. Department of Labor's historian, said she didn't know which man should be credited – partially because people over the years confused them because of their similar-sounding names.
5. Grover Cleveland helped make Labor Day a national holiday. After violence related to the Pullman railroad strike, President Cleveland and lawmakers in Washington wanted a federal holiday to celebrate labor – and not a holiday celebrated on May 1. Cleveland signed an act in 1894 establishing the federal holiday; most states had already passed laws establishing a Labor Day holiday by that point. Sen. James Henderson Kyle of South Dakota introduced S. 730 to make Labor Day a federal legal holiday on the first Monday of September. It was approved on June 28, 1894.
6. The holiday has evolved over the years. In the late 19th century, celebrations focused on parades in urban areas. Now the holiday is a celebration that honors organized labor with fewer parades, and more activities. It also marks the perceived end of the summer season.
7. Can you wear white after Labor Day? This old tradition goes back to the late Victorian era, where it was a fashion faux pas to wear any white clothing after the summer officially ended on Labor Day. The tradition isn't really followed anymore. EmilyPost.com explains the logic behind the fashion trend – white indicated you were still in vacation mode at your summer cottage.
8. Labor Day is the unofficial end of Hot Dog season. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council says that between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Americans will eat 7 billion hot dogs.
9. How many people are union members today? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 14.8 million union members in the workforce in 2017. There were 17.7 million in 1983.
10. What is the biggest union today? The National Education Association has about 3 million people who are members, including inactive and lifetime members.

Surveys are a popular tool in garnering feedback on your company, products, services, and prices. According to Explorance, there are six reasons to survey your clients:
1 Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty
2 Customer Engagement
3 Product and Service E
4 Customer Data
5 Operational Efficiency
6 Bench-marking for Development
Each of the above purposes require extensive thought and creativity to develop effective questions. A quick Google search garners hundreds of survey examples, but each question should be evaluated for your company's feedback needs.
Once you develop questions, you must choose an appropriate survey tool. At NextLevel Thinking we make use of several different survey tools on behalf of our clients. Survey Monkey is user-friendly and contains numerous templates that can be easily altered. Survey Monkey is also an affordable option with accounts available at different levels depending on a company's needs.
Google Forms is the most affordable option available- free with a Google account. Once the survey is completed, the data is analyzed in a spreadsheet. Definitely easy to use, but less robust than other options.
Qualtrics is the best in class, but most expensive option. While they do offer a free option, the robust analytics in the paid option set hem apart from the competition.
Interested in taking a deeper dive into survey tools? Check out last week's blog post from Robly where they reviewed their Top Ten Survey Tools.
"Memorial Day isn't just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that's a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It's a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it.""Memorial Day isn't just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives.

"Email personalization is a way to authentically connect with your subscribers by sending targeted and relevant content that matters most to them. If subscribers don't feel like they matter to your brand, then most likely, your brand won't matter to them."
Take a look at the tactics shared by CampaignMonitor.com for ideas to better cater your emails to your customers or clients.
Robly published a blog titled "4 Ways to Achieve Balance in Email Marketing." Balance in email marketing is a topic that comes up with every client. Are we sending enough emails? Too many? Are they too short? Too long? What level of personalization is right? Robly does a nice job of presenting information in the following ideas:
The team at NextLevel agrees with Robly's conclusion:"There isn't one answer. What one email user finds informative, another may find aggressive. There is no one answer here, but testing is how you'll land on one that works." Metrics don't lie. Pay attention to the metrics and you will know what is working.

Evan Esar (1899–1995) was an American humorist who wrote Esar's Comic Dictionary in 1943, Humorous English in 1961, and 20,000 Quips and Quotes in 1968.
"Easter is the only time when it's perfectly safe to put all your eggs in one basket."
We hope you have a blessed Easter celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ with your loved ones. While we love Esar's quote and it brings a bit of humor, we would be remiss if we did not share the most famous quote of The Bible for the Gospel of John:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
– John 3:16

AI, short for Artificial Intelligence, "is the ability of a computer or computer-enabled robotic systems to process massive amounts of in-depth data and produce outcomes similar to the thought processes of humans in learning, analyzing, decision making, and problem-solving." We are seeing more and more applications of AI in marketing, especially with the growth of digital advertising.
Head on over to the Entrepreneur Website to read the article and learn how artificial intelligence could be added to your current marketing mix.
The article also shared a staggering estimate: "The global AI market was worth $7.35 billion in 2018, where the largest portion of revenue was stirred from enterprise applications. The market is expected to catapult to $89.84 billion by 2025." Read the article to learn more about the role of artificial intelligence in marketing.

A long time ago, there were three fairy sisters. Each of them was a unique beauty. They wore long white dresses that draped to their feet and flew on powerful translucent wings that shimmered in the sun. They spent their days in their enchanted forest swinging on a swing that lay right in the middle. It was indeed the best place to be, for here on this swing they would come across several magnificent creatures, including the glorious unicorns. Speaking with the unicorns was always a delight. Their stories were always filled with endless adventures. Although the fairies loved hearing all of their tales, their favorite was about giant sleeping trees and waterfalls full of wishes. Often times they would close their eyes and dream of these places, hoping one day to go to them. Then suddenly one day, the eldest of the fairies decided she would wait no longer, and as two unicorns approached she asked them "Could you take us to the great beyond? To the places you have been? For we long to see the sleeping trees and the waterfall of wishes." "Oh, we certainly can" replied the unicorns. "But you must promise one thing. No matter how beautiful the great beyond may seem, you must eventually return home." The fairies agreed. After all, how hard could that be? They mounted on the backs of the unicorns, and their hearts began to race. What wonders would await them once they reached the great beyond?

Have you ever worked in a place where all the right people where there at the same time? Then, after time, people split and go another way, and it's never the same again, and mostly, never repeated again.
It's just a dynamic of life, the natural order of things... Has to be that way.
Enjoy it while you can.

The overview dashboard will show all the projects that your account is associated with. This will also have the ability to logout.
The project dashboard is an overview of each project. Here you can see:
Onboarding Checklist as a place to get started
Asset Traffic monthly usage graph
API Operations monthly usage graph
Quotas - a bar graph of usage / monthly quota
This is the perfect place to start if you're new to GraphCMS and want to see what it has to offer! We walk you through all of the minimum viable steps to getting a project up and running, as well as a few to give you some velocity going forward.
Each plan offers a certain number of server requests (queries and mutations) as well as data transfer (showing your images, files) per month. For a breakdown on how much each plan offers, please see the pricing page.
Along with the actual usage and the total allowed, we offer a helpful estimation of what your monthly usage will be based on current usage. As the month goes on, this number will update and increase in accuracy.
The API overview shows the peak days of activity for your content. If something seems out of sync with your expectation, this is a very helpful place to track down abnormalities or simply to bask in the glow of your super popular content!
When you hover over the content, you can see specific dates involved.
Similar to API statistics, asset statistics show you which days your assets were viewed and when how much data was transferred. Again, this serves as a helpful diagnostic tool in auditing your costs and expectation for how your front-end should be behaving.
When you hover over the content, you can see specific dates involved.
The all-important endpoint is the single most important URL for your GraphCMS project to work! In fact, it's the ONLY URL you need to make your project work! Since all queries and mutations are written against a single endpoint, we've added a helper utility. Just click on the URL and we'll copy it to your clipboard.
If you add an alias or are working on a different stage, those different endpoints will be available here.
No product can be truly great without a great community, and ours here at GraphCMS is no exception! Join our Slack channel for access to one of the happiest, smartest and helpful group of developers around! Just prepare yourself for party parrots. It's a thing.
