Alums find career fair fertile ground for recruiting talent
When hundreds of business students gathered in late January for the spring semester's Business Healthcare & Communications career fair, some familiar faces greeted them.
Though many of those faces weren't familiar to the students, some of the recruiters representing the more than 110 companies in attendance were very familiar with Clemson University and the potential it offers their companies in the form of future employees.
Case in point is The Hershey Company, which was represented by alum Brandon Henderson '14, a district sales supervisor for the snack industry giant, which boasts more than 80 product brands globally.
"This was the third year The Hershey Company has been represented at a Clemson career fair, and one we find great value in attending," said Henderson, who majored in business management, with a concentration on entrepreneurship. "We started recruiting at Clemson a year ago because we believe the university's caliber of student makes this a great place to recruit the next leaders of our company."
The career fair at Littlejohn was open to students who were vying for internships and full- and part-time positions. More than 85 business students also took advantage of pitching themselves to future employers at an evening networking reception with recruiters. The event offered students the opportunity to showcase their soft skills in a more social setting.
"The business school offers several opportunities for students to interact with corporate representatives — the more formal career fair event at Littlejohn during the afternoon as well as the relaxed social event that evening," said Leah Hughes, College of Business assistant director for career and professional development. "Some students also garner interviews for the day following the career fair. These are good venues for students to put to practice what they learned in workshops leading up to the career fair."
Shirley Ann Morgan '16 represented ScanSource as a recruiter at the event and came away impressed with the quality of talent she encountered.
"I've attended these events for several years now and believe it's a great place to find talent for ScanSource," said the former management major who is an H.R. generalist in the technology provider's Greenville headquarters. "Students here always present themselves professionally and have diverse backgrounds. The company consistently finds outstanding students who want to stay in the upstate and start their careers with a locally-based company."
Henderson said Hershey's primary goal at the event is recruiting intern and entry-level retail sales positions. The Pennsylvania-based company has more than 1,000 sales representatives and managers throughout the U.S.
"Because of the nature of our business and the high number of promotions each year on the sales team, we are always looking for candidates eager to jump-start their careers," said Henderson, who manages nearly a dozen sales force members. "Recruiting here is doubly rewarding for me, given Clemson has a special place in my heart. I'm able to serve my alma mater and Hershey by bringing high-caliber employees into our organization."
As a recent graduate, Morgan can relate to students seeking their first full-time jobs. In addition to her role as an H.R. generalist, she leads ScanSource's internship program and works with employees just starting their careers, and those leaving the technology company.
"The company has been a great environment to foster my growth professionally," she said. "Clemson prepared me well for this role and I enjoy being in a position to identify others from my alma mater who are also looking to start their careers with a quality company."

Fall leaf bookFall leaf book: Tis the season for gathering and admiring the beautiful leaves on your favorite trees. What better way to spend a sunny fall afternoon than to go on a leaf hike with the family? Contact paper helps to preserve the moment and help kids admire their treasures throughout the season.
Cornhusk votives: Add a little elegance to your crafts and to your table with these lovely cornhusk-wrapped votives. It's a Martha Stewart design, so of course, the instructions are 10-times more complicated than they need to be. Just follow the basic premise and you'll get the idea. Makes a great party gift, too!
Sunflower pillow: All you need is a little leftover felt to make this cute pillow that can double as a pincushion (or homework headrest.) And the best part? There's no sewing involved — it's held together with glue, so you and the kids can create it together.
Fall door hanger: I just love this festive door hanger! The instructions call for lots of those pre-made craft foam pieces — which I don't love — but I don't see why you couldn't replicate this design with scraps of construction paper. The link includes templates for the leaf and letter designs, so you can whip this together using any extra supplies you have around the house.
Thanksgiving-themed napkin rings: These Indian corn napkin rings are as lovely to look at as they are easy to make. They are strips of construction paper (this is the perfect time to use up all of those odd-sized remnants you've been saving) covered with tissue paper.

Supreme Court of Hawaii
April 4, 2018
STATE OF HAWAI'I, Respondent/Plaintiff-Appellee,v.GJ WILLIANDER, Petitioner/Defendant-Appellant.
R. Tomasa for petitioner.
Fudo for respondent.
RECKTENWALD, C.J., NAKAYAMA, McKENNA, POLLACK, AND WILSON,
case requires us to determine if the circuit court erred in
failing to continue trial because of the unavailability of a
defense witness.
GJ Williander was charged with second degree robbery of the
complainant, Kyle Aihara. On the first day of his trial,
Williander moved to continue because police officer Darren
Sunada was unavailable to testify. Officer Sunada had
arrested Williander and spoken with him shortly after the
alleged robbery. Williander argued that Officer Sunada's
testimony would provide important evidence regarding
Williander's state of mind at the time of the incident.
The State objected, noting that Officer Sunada was
unavailable because he was on injured leave, and would not
return to duty for several months. The circuit court denied
Williander's motion.
trial, Aihara testified that on the night of the incident, he
was walking when someone hit him from behind. Aihara said
that while he heard a voice, he could not make out what was
said, as he was in shock. A bystander, Michael Ragudo,
testified that he observed Aihara and Williander from across
the street, and heard Williander yell, "Give me your
wallet, " "Give me your fucking wallet, " and
saw Williander strike Aihara. After the State rested its
case, Williander again moved to continue trial, and also
moved for a mistrial, which the circuit court denied.
defense's only witness was Williander, who testified that
he had no recollection of the incident because he had
consumed substantial amounts of alcohol on the afternoon and
night in question. Following closing arguments, Williander
renewed his motion for mistrial, which the circuit court
denied, and the jury found Williander guilty as charged.
Williander then moved for a new trial, which the circuit
court denied. On appeal, the ICA affirmed the circuit
court's holdings.
In his
application to this court, Williander argues that the circuit
court erred in denying Williander's motion to continue
trial, motion for mistrial, and motion for new trial because
of Officer Sunada's unavailability. We conclude that
defense counsel exercised due diligence by properly
subpoenaing Officer Sunada. We also conclude that Officer
Sunada's observations provided a means for Williander to
challenge Ragudo's testimony that Williander demanded
Aihara's wallet. Ragudo's testimony was the only
evidence presented to support finding Williander guilty of
robbery rather than assault. Thus, Officer Sunada's
testimony was relevant and material testimony that benefitted
Williander. Accordingly, Williander's right to compulsory
process to obtain witnesses in his favor was violated, and
the circuit court erred in denying Williander's motions.
therefore vacate the ICA's judgment on appeal and the
circuit court's judgment of conviction and probation
sentence, and remand for further proceedings consistent with
this opinion.
Circuit Court Proceedings
On July
29, 2014, a grand jury indicted Williander for robbery in the
second degree, in violation of Hawai'i Revised Statutes
(HRS) § 708-841(1)(a). In discovery, Williander received
Sheldon Matsui's statement, which included:
On June 13th, 2014 I was at 24hr Fitness on Kapiolani Blvd.
and saw an older Asian male holding his wrist and another
bystander telling me not to go outside. When I looked outside
I saw a Polynesian male approaching people walking by on the
sidewalk and faking like he was going to hit them. The
Polynesian male was about 5'7 - 5'10 and about 200 -
240 lbs. He seemed disoriented and kind've [sic] stumbled
down the sidewalk. He eventually walked towards Kalakaua Ave.
and I lost sight of him. When I got to my car I called 911.
received a copy of Matsui's 911 call, in which Matsui
described the male as a "''crazy guy with no
shirt on'" that was "''trying to fight
everybody.'" Williander also received a copy of
Officer Sunada's written police report regarding the
incident, which states that he responded to the scene at
10:28 p.m. and observed a shirtless man:
I observed the male, later identified as GJ WILLIANDER, to
have curly black hair and to be about 5-9" [sic] tall.
Upon making the above observations, I immediately stopped and
exited my blue and white police car and identified my self
[sic] to WILLIANDER as a police officer and informed him that
he was being detained as a suspect in a robbery case. I then
instructed WILLIANDER to place his hands behind his back.
WILLIANDER complied by placing his hands behind his back
while dropping to his knees and flopping to the ground on his
stomach under his own power. While on the ground, WILLIANDER
was handcuffed with his hands behind his back without
incident and was repositioned into the seated position.
While with WILLIANDER, I was able to smell a strong odor
resembling an alcoholic type beverage to be coming from his
person. WILLIANDER was slurring his words and rambling
unintelligible verbiage. WILLIANDER was also unsteady on his
feet while walking.
Motions for Continuance
September 2014, Williander moved for a continuance, stating
that he needed more time to investigate. The State did not
object, and the court granted Williander's motion. In
November 2014, Williander moved for a second continuance, as
there was "a matter of outstanding discovery." The
circuit court granted Williander's motion over the
State's objection. In February 2015, Williander requested
a third continuance because his counsel's trial schedule
was full. Over the State's objection, the court granted
Williander's request. In April 2015, Williander requested
a fourth continuance, as he was unable to secure witness
Sheldon Matsui. Over the State's objection, the circuit
court granted the continuance, designating it as "a last
continuance for the defense." In July 2015, on the day
of trial, Williander moved for a fifth continuance because
Officer Sunada was unavailable to testify. This fifth motion
for continuance is at issue.
asked for an offer of proof for his fifth motion for
continuance, Williander's counsel argued that Officer
Sunada was a necessary witness because: (1) he was the
arresting officer; (2) the arrest occurred within a few
minutes of the incident; (3) his police report had the most
detailed information about "Williander's state at
that time"; and (4) his testimony was important evidence
"as to state of mind, an element in this case." The
State objected, noting that the court had designated
Williander's fourth continuance as a "last
continuance, " and also stating that Officer Sunada was
on injured leave, with an anticipated return for light duty
in September 2015.
counsel continued his arguments stating that, without Officer
Sunada, he did not "have a significant defense"
because Williander's memory of the events was limited by
his intoxication. Thus, defense counsel argued that it had
only two helpful witnesses, Matsui and Officer Sunada, and
Matsui did not have as close contact with Williander as
Officer Sunada.
also stated that with regard to whether the parties could
stipulate to the testimony of Officer Sunada, Williander
would prefer live testimony because he only had one witness,
and a stipulated police report would have "less
value" than live testimony. Further, Williander stated
that Officer Sunada's report had more detail about the
incident because he was the person who initially detained
Williander and stated his observations of Williander's
The court denied Williander's motion, reasoning: And
I'm not saying that there's a lack of diligence on
your part relative to Officer Sunada because, you know,
he's out. And even if you had been diligent, and I'm
presuming that up to this point in time, he is out on injured
leave, he's not available. But I am of the view that this
case is not unduly complex and that while it is less than
ideal from the standpoint of the defense strategy and
availability of witnesses and other information, that at this
point there's been, as I indicated, several continuances.
And while Officer Sunada might be able to provide some
impeachment, as we often know police officers do do in cases
like this, I'm not resting it solely on that basis. And
essentially it's abuse of discretion and I don't
believe on review that this will be viewed as such. And so I
think the defense has had an ample opportunity to prepare and
we're ready for trial and so we're going to proceed.
The State's Case-in-Chief
trial, the State's first witness was Kyle Aihara, the
complainant. He testified that he is legally blind, and
explained that he is not "completely blind, " but
has "visual limitations." Aihara testified that on
June 13, 2014, at approximately 10:20 p.m., he was walking
east on Kapi'olani Boulevard, near 24 Hour Fitness, when
he "felt something hit [him] from behind . . . and [he]
fell to the ground." Aihara testified that he
"heard a voice, " but "couldn't make it
out, " as he "was kind of in shock." According
to Aihara, he fell forward on his knees and his face, felt
pain in his left wrist, and then "felt a presence of
someone on top of [him] . . . ." Aihara stated that
Michael Ragudo, whom Aihara did not know prior to the
incident, helped him up and gave him his glasses, which had
fallen off. Aihara testified that his wallet was still in his
pocket. Aihara stated that Ragudo then assisted him into the
lobby of 24 Hour Fitness, where Ragudo called the police. On
cross-examination, Aihara testified that he did not have any
recollection of anyone demanding his wallet, reaching into
his pocket to try to take his wallet, or touching his pants.
Ragudo testified that, at 10:20 p.m. on the night in
question, he was on Kapi'olani Boulevard across the
street from 24 Hour Fitness when he saw "two guys kind
of horsing around." According to Ragudo, he heard one
guy yell "clearly" and "loudly" in the
tone of a "loud demand" or "command, "
"Give me your wallet, " "Give me your fucking
wallet, " which indicated to him that they were not just
horsing around. Ragudo testified that the "two guys were
kind of struggling, " and that he heard, "Give me
your wallet, " twice. Ragudo testified that he saw one
man down on the ground on his hands and knees, and the other
man above him "reach up and then strike down towards the
back of the man's head." Ragudo stated that he then
yelled and ran across the street, at which point the suspect
went Ewa-bound on Kapi'olani. Ragudo stated that he gave
Aihara his glasses, helped him up, and then took him into the
24 Hour Fitness lobby and called 911. According to Ragudo,
when he was in the 24 Hour Fitness lobby, he saw the suspect
walking back towards them and held the door closed in
response. Ragudo testified that the suspect, now shirtless,
was walking back and forth "agitatedly" on the
sidewalk in front of 24 Hour Fitness. Ragudo testified that
the police arrived five to ten minutes later. Ragudo also
testified that he did "a field identification" of
Williander about 15 to 20 minutes after the police arrived on
the scene.
cross-examination, Ragudo testified that he heard the suspect
demand the wallet twice, but that in his handwritten
statement, referenced only one demand. Ragudo explained that
"the first demand was kind of garbled, I wasn't
really paying attention to it, but I clearly heard him the
second time , Give me your fucking wallet, '
which was when I yelled from across the street." Ragudo
agreed that he did not observe anyone go through Aihara's
pockets, or see anyone pat Aihara down, and that he
"just saw [Williander] on top of [Aihara] and deliver
the punch." On redirect examination, Ragudo again
explained that the statement, "Give me your fucking
wallet, " was "shouted very loudly so I could hear

The city has a place for everyone, and it all starts in the West Village. Start off with a packed happy hour at The Monster (80 Grove Street), where just about every night of the week there is a crowd around the huge bar and the piano in the back, or at the Stonewall Inn (53 Christopher Street) where you can unwind with some pool, and that's before their dance floors heat up! If you want entertainment every night of the week, check out Boots & Saddle (76 Christopher Street). Don't let the name fool you – it's not a country bar, but once you are inside you will see the city's most promoted drag performers (including Victoria Chase's unbeatable karaoke twice a week) and sexy go-go boys nightly. If you're looking for a little neighborhood bar known globally for its Levis, leather and bear clientele (and chasers too), Ty's (114 Christopher Street) has been a West Village staple for 40 years. Across the street is The Hangar (115 Christopher Street), where they pack them in every night of the week. At the end of the street sits Rockbar (185 Christopher Street), which fills up on weekends and often has the grill cooking some munchies with live shows and bands. Don't miss the great view of the Hudson River while you're there. On the other end of Christopher Street is Pieces (8 Christopher Street), which has an excellent happy hour and a packed Tuesday night karaoke. The Duplex (61 Christopher Street) has live singers every night of the week. Another West Village staple is Julius Bar (159 West 10th Street), which has the best burger and fries cooked to order with a packed crowd every night. Cubby Hole (281 West 12th Street), a favorite bar of the ladies and their guy friends, is around the corner from Philip Marie (569 Hudson Street), a hot spot for weekend brunch and unrivaled Sunday evening barbecue, in addition to fabulous dinners all week long. Marie's Crisis (59 Grove Street) is another local spot, always busy with singers and piano, along with Henrietta Hudson(438 Hudson Street), a hot spot for the ladies. The West Village is where it all started, and these days it just keeps on going. There haven't been too many changes over the years, not like Chelsea or Hell's Kitchen, just good, reliable hot spots that you won't want to miss.

Exceptional 9.6 From 9 reviews
A very lovely place to stay. There was a roaring open fire while we ate our delicious breakfast. Our accommodation was very comfortable. This was the most expensive place we steyed in while in South Africa and the only one that didn't give us free bottles of water. There is a charge of £1 for each pod of coffee for the machine in the room, although sachets & tea bags are free with an electric kettle.
Its one of the most beutifule hotel i had seen in my life it was the best hotel for my honeymoon great privacy inspiring lagoon view , romantic touches from the staff the design of the bathroom is amazing , location was suitable to my tour distances , we decided to go back there for our anniversary Special thanx to the staff who are always smilling and welcoming Thanx for miss. Madelin , mr.fish , mr.jhon and all other staff , i recommend the elephant hide of knysna for any couple specially for honeymoon
The place was amazing stay. Simply views and the idea of staycation in the wilderness! Highly recommended!
When arriving we got a room which was not good and suitable for us, limited view to the lagoon. After raising our dissatisfection we got a new comfortable room with a beautifull view. The second room was bigger and nice - overall we were very satisfied. Breakfast was nice, the staff is friendly with good service attitude.

Everything You Need to Know About Building a Perfect UK CV with the Europass CV Template
When you're looking for a job, having a great CV is important! It's the difference between getting an interview, and disappearing into the application black hole. But we know that writing a CV is difficult.
Luckily, if you're looking for a job in the European Union (EU), the Europass CV template is a great way to start. It will help you build a professional, polished CV that you can use in any EU country.
Not familiar with the Europass CV template? Read on to learn what it is, and how to use it to create a perfect CV.
What is the Europass CV template?
The Europass CV template is a standard CV format, created by the European Union (EU). It was designed to provide jobseekers across the EU with a common CV template.
The Europass CV template helps you to organise and display your skills and experience in a clear, effective way. It organises key pieces of information into standard, well-understood sections. This means it's fast and easy for recruiters to select the most qualified candidates.
When Should I Use a Europass CV Template?
First of all, while the Europass CV template was created with EU citizens in mind, anyone can use it! It doesn't matter if you're not an EU citizen.
The Europass CV template is most commonly used when applying for jobs in EU countries. The Europass CV template is familiar to EU recruiters, so it's a safe choice for job applications in the EU.
When you look at job ads, you'll see that some employers specifically ask you to use the Europass CV template. This is more common in non-profit, government, and EU organisations. Regardless of the industry you work in, you must follow the employer's directions! Use the Europass CV template if the employer asks you to.
But if you work in a creative industry or profession, the Europass CV template is not as popular. For example, companies want designers and photographers to show more creative flair. This means showcasing your skills with a more bespoke CV template.
What is the structure of the Europass CV template?
UK employers usually expect you to fill out the first four sections of the Europass CV template. The personal skills section is generally considered to be optional in the UK.
Our online Europass CV builder gives you tips and examples to help you fill out the Europass CV template effectively. Before you get started, here are some topline tips:
Personal information
In this section of the Europass CV template, provide basic contact information. This includes your name, mobile number and email address. Remember to provide an appropriate email address that isn't your current work email. Supply a phone number where you can easily be reached.
Type of application
Create a paragraph that clearly outlines the purpose of your application. When you use this section of the Europass CV template, you have different options to choose from:
- You can create a personal statement that highlights your ambitions.
- You can reference the job or study program you're applying for.
- You can outline your preferred role.
You can outline your preferred role.
Write about your relevant work experience in this section of the Europass CV template. Make sure that you list your jobs reverse-chronologically – from most recent to oldest. Give high-level details of your key achievements. Remember to provide statistics or percentages to help showcase your successes.
Education and training
Provide details of your relevant qualifications and completed training courses. Make sure that you enter courses and qualifications reverse-chronologically. There's even space to include information on national or EU qualification levels.
Personal skills
This section of the Europass CV template helps you to showcase a range of capabilities. For example, you could address your language, communication, job, and digital talents. Some of these fields, like language and digital skills, ask you to assess how good you are. With other skills, you should provide an example of explanation of how you developed them.
How is the Europass CV template different across Europe?
One great thing about the Europass CV template is that it's consistent across all EU countries. The biggest difference you'll see is that the Europass CV template is used in the local language. For example, in France the Europass CV template, and the information contained in it, will be in French.
If you look closely, you will see that the Europass CV template doesn't change from country to country; however, there is some variety in how you use some fields.
How are Europass CV template fields used differently from country to country?
Here's an easy rule to remember when you use the Europass CV template. Follow common CV practices for the country where the job is! For example, if the job is in Manchester, include what is common in the UK. If the job is in Milan, include the personal information that is common in Italy.
If you're using the Europass CV template to apply for a job in the UK, don't include information that isn't on UK CVs. For example, employers have to follow local anti-discrimination laws. This means they can't ask you for some kinds of personal information (such as your age or date of birth, your gender, your marital status and whether you're a parent).
So when you use the Europass CV template to apply for a job in the UK, don't include this information. And unless you're a model, don't include a photo on your CV either.
But if you're using a Europass CV template to apply for a job in other EU countries, then different rules apply. Each country has a slightly different approach. Some will expect all these personal details, and others will expect just a few.
What should you do if you're using the Europass CV template and you're not sure what to include? Check local CVs online to make sure you're providing the right information.
Get started with the Europass CV template now.
Now that you understand how to use the Europass CV template, it's time to put that knowledge to use!

The prohibition of determining the contract price in foreign currency or based on foreign currency is imposed for many contracts (namely, chattel and real estate sales and leasing, financial leasing, labour, service and construction agreements) that are concluded between the Turkish residents, with 13/9/2018 dated and 85 numbered "the Decree on the Amendment of 32 numbered Decree regarding the Protection of Turkish Currency" ("Presidential Decree"). Under this new regulation, the necessary of amendment of the contract price converted into Turkish currency is needed for the contracts in the scope of the prohibition. At this point, a stamp tax problem occurs for the amended contracts.

On the 30597 numbered Official Gazette dated of 16/11/2018, a new Communique has been announced by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance. The Communique numbered 2018-32/52 is related to the previously announced 2008-32/34 numbered Communique and the revision of Article 8 of the relevant Communique based on the Amendment of the Decree No.32 on Protection of the Value of Turkish Monetary Currency.
From a broad perspective, the application of the regulations based on the Decree and the relevant Communiques have not been impacted, whereas the exemptions have been elaborated further. Below we have outlined the amendments on the Article 8, announced by the Communique on the date of November 16, 2018.

As per to the Presidential Decree announced on September 13, 2018 there has been an uncertainty on the parties located in Turkey, which were to be prohibited to sign foreign currency based contracts. The uncertainty has mostly raised a question for the parties that have casual connection with parties outside Turkey, have non-Turkish shareholder/ownership and/or have obligation of foreign currency based payments to abroad in relation to the services, consultancy and relevant agreements.
With the amendments and Communique announced recently in regards, it has been clarified which parties will be exempt from the prohibition.

The Worst Thing To Come Between People Is…
When something goes wrong between you and a family member or a friend, it's very important to have all the facts. It's not ok to assume anything. Jumping to conclusions can cause serious harm.
Things are not always what they seem. Before you react or even worse, allow a relationship to end up estranged, seek knowledge and ALL the facts.
That worst thing is…
It will always deceive, mislead and steal from you, and it will keep you in the dark about the true situation.
"For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6

The table below shows the eleven ethical policies which could be found in full
or in summary form on the web in April 2005. Click on the charity name to see
the policy details in each case.
As the column entitled 'ethical policy
type' shows, only four of these are specifically fundraising policies. Six are
ethical investment policies and one is an ethical purchasing policy which have
been included because they are in some way analogous. It is also likely that,
for the charities in question, company types excluded from investment are also
excluded from sponsorship.
It is not clear why more policies
have not been published on charity websites. If you know of any policies which
we have not found, or if you can send us copies of other policies to include
in our research, please do contact
All but one of the policies include
a general statement or principles or commitment to address ethical issues.
This is also a point at which it
is possible to define the scope of the policy. As we have seen in 2.3 above,
the Charity Commission recommends, by implication, that policy formation addresses
sponsorship, CRM (cause-related marketing) and licensing. Policies could also
include: gifts in kind, corporate volunteering, affinity marketing, pro-bono
work by suppliers and staff donor programmes.
Other columns on the table identify
common aspects of ethical policies. Ten out of eleven contain exclusionary (avoidance)
criteria, and two discuss engagement (see also 2.4 above). Four contain disclosures
or promises to publicly disclose certain arrangements in a 'Transparency' section.
Three contain 'Process' sections which explain how approvals have to take place.
Only one - the Diabetes UK policy - specifically addresses cause-related marketing
(CRM). This policy is without doubt the most complete, complex and mature of
all those publicly available on the web. It also contains significant appendices
and has been very influential in helping us to draw up the template in the next

The 142 school districts that are currently impacted by the Racine or Wisconsin Parental Choice Programs are about to have their revenue limit authority reduced under a recently introduced surprise amendment scheduled for a vote today.
Two amendments crafted by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) have been hastily added to today's Executive Session in the Assembly Education Committee. This means that the amendments are scheduled for a vote in the Committee today (Feb. 4) at 1:00 pm.
These amendments would amend Assembly Bill 751, which would make some technical fixes to the special needs voucher program, but the amendments have nothing to do with special needs vouchers. Both amendments were introduced with very little notice and neither was afforded the scrutiny of a public hearing. The WASB opposes both of these amendments but this alert focuses on the most concerning: Assembly Amendment 2.
Assembly Amendment 2 would change the revenue limit calculation for incoming choice pupils, beginning in 2016-17, to no longer provide an adjustment that counts an "incoming choice pupil" as a full 1.0 pupil for revenue limit purposes. Instead, incoming voucher students would be counted as other residents students are counted (phasing them in as .333 pupils the first year, .667 pupils the second year and 1.0 student the third year. (An "incoming choice pupil" is a pupil who begins participating in either the Racine or the statewide voucher program in the 2015-16 school year or any school year thereafter.)
Under this amendment, any districts that have (or will have) resident students who enter either the statewide or the Racine voucher program in 2016-17 or thereafter will lose money (roughly $6700 per voucher student on average) in the form of reduced revenue limit authority. The impact will differ among districts depending on the district's revenue cap.
(Note: With 20 to 30 more private schools likely to enter the statewide voucher program next fall, the number of districts affected by this amendment will grow beyond the current 142 number.)
A preliminary fiscal analysis estimates the loss of revenue limit authority at about $22 million spread across the 142 districts currently impacted. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) has been asked to prepare a memo detailing the fiscal impact on each of the affected districts. We hope this memo will be available soon. Of course, we will make it available to you as soon as it is available.
Once again, the bottom line is if your district has resident students in the statewide or Racine voucher programs, under this amendment, you will lose revenue limit authority in 2016-17 and you will likely have to pay for your voucher students by reducing educational opportunities for the children that remain in your district.
Please contact the leadership of the Committee (Chairman Thiesfeldt, Vice-Chairman Kitchens and the ranking Democrat Representative Sondy Pope) in opposition to this amendment. Also, contact any of the other committee members that are from your area of the state. Finally, make sure you also contact your Assembly Representative as well. For your convenience in doing so, we have provided links to the Assembly Directory and to Find My Legislators (top right there is an address field to look up your lawmakers).
WASB staff will be contacting committee members as well but we need your voice to back up what we are saying. Please help!
Here are the members of the Assembly Education Committee & their toll free office phone numbers:

Eitherway I fucking hate mash ups, but sensibly this isnt soley based and comprised of tunes from both camps albums. After the initial bile of the "limit to your love- find you loving" this shit gets good. Trust, then again I like the sound of my own voice. If you dont like it? buy loads of Ketamine, put this on, then get into an alice in wonderland K-hole then you might just come round. That is if you come round at all and don't get molested by you're dealer. Maybe remember to let your dealer leave first.

Another case of a director finding the most generic stereotypical characters to thrust in our faces. Making Londoners look like a bunch of charity shop scavenging nu rave whores. Other than that Katy B is just too cute to say anything bad against. I like that she is having fun in the video, they havent tried to put her in lesbian clothes and her actual friends are with her. The subtle touches like the balls that spelt her name at the beginning are cute. The however the chorus is a bit jarring but everything thats good about this song and Katy B is summed up in the second verse.

This video is okay if you're shooting a feature length film on friendships and cults. Not if you're an experimental dubstep artist from south London. It has no familiarity with what James Blake might represent or want to portray. It in my opinion its a dick-head exec at the record company or a pushy manager dictating what is cool or considered cool (arty). This is not cool! Sure it's well shot and beautiful blah blah fucking blah but it's also very "I'm a big commercial artist now". He may well be that but at least his other videos had a certain element of charm and mystique. FUCK YOUR RECORD EXEC, FOR YOUR MANAGER, FUCK EM AS A WHOLE STAFF AND RECORD LABEL AND IF YOU WANNA BE DOWN WITH THEM, THEN FUCK YOU TOO! (I still think James Blake is good and fight his corner, stop making me look bad bro! you pussy!)

Native American Service of Thanksgiving
This liturgy was originally celebrated at United Church of Rosendale (RCA) in Bloomington, New York.
A Liturgy for Thanksgiving Eve
HONORING SONG Cloudbreaker Society
The smudging ceremony is likened to a prayer of confession, as we purify our minds and hearts before we partake of our Lord's Supper. (Reach out for the smoke and draw it into your heart.)
Spirit of God, present in the East, the direction of the rising sun, we greet You and seek peace and light, wisdom and knowledge. You bring us the hope of a new day, hope that we can live in harmony with one another and with the whole community of life.
Spirit of the East, awaken in us new hopes, new dreams; invigorate us to reach out and grasp the miracles that are given birth with each new dawn. may we not continue to live in darkness. We are grateful for these gifts, Creator God.
Spirit of God, present in the South, whence comes warmth, maturity, and growth, we greet You. We ask for the spirit of growth, of fertility, of gentleness. Give us seeds and rain that the flowers, trees, and fruits of the earth may grow. These are gifts offered to us from You, Creator God.
Spirit of the South, thaw and soften the coldness of our world. Draw us by the urgings of your warm breath to break through the soil of our own barrenness and fears. Give us the warmth of happy families and good friendships. We are grateful for Your gifts of food, Creator God.
Spirit of God, present in the West, home of the rain, purifying waters that sustain all living things, we greet You. We turn to You in praise of sunsets and in thanksgiving for the change of seasons. You give us a time to rest and recall with gladness all that has happened each day.
We greet you, Spirit of the West, for you cool our hot and tired bodies; refresh and bring laughter to our hearts. Guide us at the end of each day that, filled with your peace, we might rest securely in your great mystery of night until morning calls us forth again.
Spirit of God, present in the North, the place of cold and mighty winds, the white snows, teaching us strength and endurance, we greet You.
Teach us, Spirit of the North, in the solitude of winter, to wait in darkness with the sleeping earth, believing that we, like the earth, already hold within ourselves the seeds of new life. Help us to be faithful when the struggles of life are hard.
We greet You, Creator God, present in the heavens above where we receive darkness and light. You breathe into our nostrils the breath of life. You send us melody in the skies through Your winged creatures. The moon and stars influence the seasons of life, thereby insuring a balance harmony of all You have created.
We are grateful for these gifts, Creator God.
We greet You, Spirit God of the Earth. It is from You we came, as from a mother; You nourish us still and give us shelter.
For all the plant life and animal life, for nourishment provided for us by Mother Earth, we are grateful, Creator God. Teach us to use with care your gifts.
May we walk good paths, living on this earth as brothers and sisters should; rejoicing in one another's blessing, living in harmony with all of Your creation and together with You, Creator God, always renewing the face of the earth. Amen.
HYMN "Come, Ye Thankful People Come"
Come, ye thankful people come, raise the song of harvest home:
all is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied;
Come to God's own temple come, raise the song of harvest home.
All the world is God's own field, fruit as praise to God we yield;
wheat and tares together sown are to joy or sorrow grown;
first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear.
Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be.
For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take the harvest home;
from the field shall in that day all offenses purge away,
giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast;
but the fruitful ears to store in the garner ever more.

This litany of thanksgiving is adapted from the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band Green Corn Ceremony. The service was adapted by United Methodist pastor and Native American storyteller Olammapise ("He Talks as He Flies") Fred A. Shaw. The Green Corn Ceremony celebrates the beneficence of the Creator in giving people the four-leggeds and the winged ones along with the sacred gifts of corn, beans, and squash. The ceremony reestablishes the harmony of life and renews all life and relationships. Like many traditions that have come to the church from its diverse peoples, this service may be used as another dimension in the experience of the living Christ.
A Native American person shall respond for the people that which is written in italics, while the congregation responds that which is in boldface.
A way has been prepared for us, a proper way to walk in life.
Response: If we walk in that way, there is a softness.
If we follow another path, there are stones and thorns.
People: We thank you, O God, that you have prepared a way, in all generations, leading to the truth and life in Christ Jesus.
(The leaders move clockwise--the natural movement of the sun--throughout the ceremony to explain the symbols.)
(The leader picks up the container of earth and offers it to the co-leader, who takes a pinch of the earth and places it in a small bag worn for that purpose.)
The Maker has formed us from the substance of the earth.
Response: We are related to the earth as we are to our mothers.
Held in her arms, we owe love and respect.
We have come from the earth.
We shall return to the earth. We will always be home.
We will carry this bit of earth to remember that
We always walk on sacred ground.
People: We thank you, God, that you created the earth and declared it good. You told Moses that he walked on holy ground. Your Son, Jesus, called the earth his home. We thank you that we need not be strangers to the earth.
(The leader offers meat, cornbread, and strawberries and says):
Open your mouth!
Here is meat, the four-legged and the winged one's gift.
Here is bread from the sacred green ones.
Here are strawberries for the joy of life.
Response: We honor these gifts.
they feed us with their flesh.
They teach us that life means sharing.
Thankfulness will not die in our hearts,
lest our children starve.
People: We thank you, God, for our animal relatives who protect us from dying of loneliness and nurture us by their flesh. Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness with the elements. He learned from them of trust and love. Jesus said, "Consider the lilies of the field." We thank you for the green blessings that give us the strength of the sun, clean the air we breathe, and comfort us in whispering shade. We thank you for these joys.
(The leader takes water, offers it, and says):
Now we are thirsty. Here is cold water.
Response: When we truly have need, it will be given to us.
People: We thank you, God, for the life-filled veins of the earth that refresh us, cleanse us, and sacramentally claim us as your own.
(Making a cross on the forehead of the co-leader with green paint, a traditional color in this ceremony, the leader says):
You are painted as a true human being, a mark of belonging.
Response: The Creator has made us to be a people.
Our lives are held by our true family.
This is who we know ourselves to be.
People: We thank you, God, that you have adopted us as your sons and daughters and joined us together as a family through your Son, Jesus.
(The leader sprinkles ashes on the shoulders of the co-leader and says):
We have not always lived life well.
There is a deadness, like the ashes, sprinkled upon us.
Response: We have thought more of ourselves than of others.
There is waste.
We have taken more than we have given.
There is destruction.
We are covered with the ashes of our past.
People: We thank you, O God, that we can dare to be honest about who we have been.
(The leader takes a feather, brushes off the ashes, and says):
This feather brushes away the ashes.
This carrier of prayer lifts you to new life.
Response: We are held in the arms of the earth and our family.
We are in the eyes of the Maker, who gave us breath.
These arms and the Maker's breath
brush away all that is dead and wasted.
We are new, fresh as the smell of cedar.
People: We thank you, God, that Jesus prayed for us, "Father, forgive them."
In the circle we name the good gifts of God's creation.
Response: We thank God for each of them.
We discover the Creator in their midst.
People: We pray, O God, that by working with your Spirit we may witness healing where the circle of life has been broken.
(The leader lifts an ear of corn and a container of maple syrup. The co-leader dips a corn chip into syrup and eats, and the leader says):
Here is a gift of life, an ear of corn.
Here is the sweetness of life, the sugar of the maple.
Celebrate the feast of living.
Response: It is good.
We now go out to be life-givers in the circle.
People: As do we, remembering Jesus' words, "I have come that you may have life abundantly." We thank you, God! Amen.

Smart shopping strategies can cut food cost to a minimum while still providing a nutritious and varied diet.
Food costs can be a drain on any budget. Careful planning strategies, however, can make this necessary expenditure less expensive. Here are ten ways to significantly reduce food costs and get more out of a grocery budget.
(1) Planning menus for a week in advance will help to save money by giving an exact picture of what items are needed. This list of items can be compared against weekly grocery circulars for the best buys on food items. Center menu ideas around items that are on special for the week.
(2) Cut food waste. Buying food in volume only to have to throw out part of it saves no money. Consider investing in a freezer to store food until it is needed. When storing food in a freezer, divide into individual servings. This will save when having to prepare a meal for only a few family members or one person. Also invest in proper storage containers for foods to cut waste when buying in large quantities.
(3) Always take a list when shopping for groceries. Impulse buying can destroy a budget. Post a list where other family members can add items as they are needed. This will eliminate running out of items. If frequently-used items are on sale and can be stored easily, consider buying several at the low price. This way the item will likely last until it is on special again.
(4) Never assume that an item is a great buy just because it is listed in a weekly circular. Many advertised prices have actually been increased and mixed-in with lower priced items. Comparison shop to make sure.
(5) Use coupons. These little pieces of paper are real money and can significantly reduce the total cost of groceries by 50% or more. Learn to collect and organize coupons so that they can be matched to on-sale items for even more savings. Coupon shopping allows families to buy more expensive and better quality items at a lower price than generics.
(6) If possible, shop without children in tow and at hours when stores are not crowded. This helps to eliminate rushed shopping and possible impulse buying. Never shop when hungry for the same reasons.
(7) If you find a great buy on some item in bulk but find that it is more than you can use or store, consider joining with a friend to make the purchase. You will still get the bargain price without the waste.
(8) Forget about store loyalty. Shop where you can find the best bargains for what you need. Traveling a little further or to more than one store will not deplete your food savings. No store runs everything on sale at one time. When Store A runs a special on meat, Store B might be running a sale on canned foods or some other items. Making all purchases at one store could cost you more than you think.
(9) Keep purchases of packaged foods like tv dinners and frozen pizza at a minimum. It takes more time to prepare foods yourself but it is healthier and more economical. Use more fresh fruits and vegetables in daily menus. Try using fruit drinks and fresh juices more often as an alternative to soft drinks. Over time, this will save a great many budget dollars.
(10) Be sure to check your cash register receipt before leaving the store or on the parking lot. Cashiers often make honest mistakes that can cost you money. If you find that you have been overcharged for an item, you are more likely to return for a refund (and more likely to receive it) if you are still at the store or closeby.

Good news for animal advocates. More and more brands are saying no to fur. Following in the footsteps of names like Michael Kors and luxury online retailer Yoox Net-a-Porter (both recently announced going fur-free moving forward), Furla's coveted handbag collections will be fur-free. Beginning with its Cruise '19 collection set to hit stores in November, all Furla products in both its women's and men's collections will be made using ecological fur instead.
"Over the past year, Furla has grown exponentially at an international level," said Alberto Camerlengo, brand's chief executive officer. "The decision to progressively ban from the collections the use of animal fur is a project that confirms the brand's increasing interest in the environment, with particular attention to the animal world, to which Furla is very sensitive. The decision, moreover, responds to the growing request for ethical products by consumers who are more and more aware and attentive to these themes."
This shift comes as the Italian company reports 2017 as its "best-ever." The brand's collections have recently enjoyed a surge in popularity, specifically after the release of an exclusive collection of its signature Metropolis handbag to the Middle East. Since that reveal, Furla's arm candy has been spotted on influencers, buyers and editors during fashion weeks effectively becoming an "it" bag maker.

Variables in Groovy can be defined in two ways − using the native syntax for the data type or the next is by using the def keyword. For variable definitions, it is mandatory to either provide a type name explicitly or to use "def" in replacement. This is required by the Groovy parser.
There are following basic types of variable in Groovy as explained in the previous chapter −
- byte − This is used to represent a byte value. An example is 2.
- short − This is used to represent a short number. An example is 10.
- int − This is used to represent whole numbers. An example is 1234.
- long − This is used to represent a long number. An example is 10000090.
- float − This is used to represent 32-bit floating-point numbers. An example is 12.34.
- double − This is used to represent 64-bit floating-point numbers which are longer decimal number representations which may be required at times. An example is 12.3456565.
- char − This defines a single character literal. An example is 'a'.
- Boolean − This represents a Boolean value which can either be true or false.
- String − These are text literals that are represented in the form of a chain of characters. For example "Hello World".
Groovy also allows for additional types of variables such as arrays, structures, and classes which we will see in the subsequent chapters.
Variable Declarations
A variable declaration tells the compiler where and how much to create the storage for the variable.
Following is an example of variable declaration
class Example { static void main(String[] args) { // x is defined as a variable String x = "Hello"; // The value of the variable is printed to the console println(x); } }
When we run the above program, we will get the following result −
Naming Variables
The name of a variable can be composed of letters, digits, and the underscore character. It must begin with either a letter or an underscore. Upper and lowercase letters are distinct because Groovy, just like Java is a case-sensitive programming language.
class Example { static void main(String[] args) { // Defining a variable in lowercase int x = 5; // Defining a variable in uppercase int X = 6; // Defining a variable with the underscore in it's name def _Name = "Joe"; println(x); println(X); println(_Name); } }
When we run the above program, we will get the following result −
5 6 Joe
We can see that x and X are two different variables because of case sensitivity and in the third case, we can see that _Name begins with an underscore.
Printing Variables
You can print the current value of a variable with the println function. The following example shows how this can be achieved.
class Example { static void main(String[] args) { //Initializing 2 variables int x = 5; int X = 6; //Printing the value of the variables to the console println("The value of x is " + x + "The value of X is " + X); } }
When we run the above program, we will get the following result −
The value of x is 5 The value of X is 6

Los Angeles, CA – Hailing from Los Angeles, up-and-coming rapper/producer duo James "Taz" Conley and Riley "Goon" Taylor are The Seige. And "Back Up" is their new FilthyBangers-premiered single.
The adrenaline rush of a document is the primary style of what would be the musical make-up of their forthcoming double EP, Duality.
var pathParts = window.location.pathname.substr(1).cut up('/');
googletag.cmd.push(operate () );
"We paired that power with some futuristic sound designed to enrich the animalistic natures of the vocals," Taz tells DX. "The primal drumbeats married with the vocal promise of pushing the bounds, encourages listeners to push their limits as properly."
Goon provides, "We are very accepting of one another's creativity so when certainly one of us has an concept, the opposite can simply see the imaginative and prescient and we'll discover that world collectively."
The two-man power manufacturing unit have been working laborious at music individuals need to hear, evidenced from having their craft has had their music featured in a handful of business campaigns corresponding to EA Sports' FIFA18, Tesla, Cleveland Cavaliers and film trailers for Blindspotting, Officer Down, amongst others.

The structure of most educational meetings is almost exactly the same: lectures and panel discussions, theater- and classroom-style seating, and almost zero audience participation. Connections happen by chance, and unless attendees are extroverted and learn by sitting and listening, they come away with very little.However, as a growing number of forward-thinking meeting professionals are proving, conferences can be better. "Unconferences" are formats that make meetings interactive, engaging and a whole lot more fun. Although unconferences have been around for years, the formats are being implemented more frequently than ever. "The reality is, most people are not happy with the traditional conference experience anymore," says Adrian Segar, a particle physicist, tech guru and the author of Conferences That Work: Creating Events That People Love. "When it was the only option, they grinned and bore it. Now they don't have to do that anymore."There are many types of unconferences; what follows are two of the best.
