The purpose of this study is to examine the effect that race and mental health play on sentence length in the United States. Mentally ill people are gradually being confined in prisons across the United States and there is an absence of literature that looks at the interaction of race and mental health in regards to sentencing. The focal concerns perspective provides the theoretical framework that guides this study. Multiple linear regressions were used to examine both state and federal prison inmates to examine the effect race, mental health and other extra-legal factors play on sentence length. Results show that the concepts of focal concerns perspective play no role in sentence length in the federal data. However, in the state data, nine out of the ten the variables used to test this theory were statistically significant. Results of the multiple linear regression show that although there are sentencing disparities in regards to race and mental health separately, the interaction of the two are only significant in the federal data.

'Force is not the answer for extremist ideology'
Using gun powder to deal with extremism is like cutting the branches of a tree with the root still inside the ground. The problem is deeper than many people think" is how a new writer choses to approach the scourge of extremism plaguing various parts of the world. How then can the menace called extremism and all its violent manifestations all over the world be successfully dealt with since it has defied the use of force of arms?
This is the subject of T.J Nwakaeze, who uses his book, Overcoming the Challenges of Extremist Ideology in our Society (T.J Nwakaeze publications, 2016), to explore what may possibly be the cure for the ideology of violence being perpetuated by certain groups and currently plaguing many countries, Nigeria included.
The book calls it what it is: violence in the name of religion is inexcusable!
In the first chapter titled 'Extremism,' Nwakaeze gives an in-depth view of the subject. He describes it extensively, noting that it is usually "accompanied by illegal and violent actions". He brings statistics to bear on the matter, saying that thousands have lost their lives due to actions of religious extremists. He laments, "There is hardly a day one will not hear of suicide bomber detonating bomb in the midst of people…" The statement rings true in light of the recent suicide bombing in Kano, which took eight lives. He once more restates the purpose of the book: providing a counter-ideology to extremism.
'Fighting for God' embodies the author's opinion of extremists, who claim to be fighting for God. He also state that "God is not a blood-thirsty monster" and so cannot be the author or motivation for such bloodletting as perpetuators claim. 'Projecting the Image of Your God' is how Nwakaeze believes religion should be practised and spread, which is by non-violent means and not "putting guns to the heads of people and blowing up their brains".
He then states how most people find themselves in certain religions in which they are born into. The chapter, 'Accident of Birth' cautions against violence caused by difference in religious ideologies. 'Holy Books' describes how the powerful messages in the Holy Books are twisted for personal preferences, in this case, extremism and violence. He appeals to religious leaders to eviscerate parts of the Holy Books that incite violence. In 'The Wickedness of Man,' the author assures readers that the wicked will never be able to avoid punishment, which he captures quite spectacularly in the line, "the hammer of the multi-dimensional spirit will fall on the wicked".
'What is the Name of Your God' is the author's tool to bringing readers to the awareness of the diversity of spirits with different names, all claiming to be the Supreme God. Summarily, Allah, God, Buddha and all others are not the same in the spiritual context. In the last chapter, 'Bringing the Fear of God Into Society', Nwakaeze condemns the use of violence in the settlement of disputes. He also cautions against violent protests and senseless vengeance. He closes the book with a heartfelt plea for all to imbibe the spirit of love for self and neighbours.
In the world's current state, where extremists such as Boko Haram, ISIS, Shi'ites, Al Qaeda and others take pleasure to deprive the world of its peace in beastly manner, the postulations in this book might sow the seeds capable of providing elusive peace to a world ravaged by unwarranted violent and orgy of killings in the name of religion. Nwakaeze's Overcoming the Challenges of Extremist Ideology in our Society is a clarion call to all extremists to stop violence.

Nasser Zefzafi, Morocco's Charismatic Protest Leader
For almost ten months, thousands of Moroccans have protested in the northern Rif region of the country, and it is all because of one man: Nasser Zefzafi.
A native of the port city of al-Hoceima, Zefzafi (39) is the founder of the grassroots al-Hirak al-Shaabi, or the Popular Movement. He was also a member of the February 20 Movement that spearheaded anti-government protests across Morocco in 2011 during the Arab Spring. Moderately educated and currently unemployed, he is acclaimed as a charismatic orator.
Al-Hirak emerged following the well-publicized death on 28 October 2016 of Mohcine Fikri, a fishmonger who was crushed in a rubbish truck as he tried to recover illegally caught swordfish seized by the police.
The death sparked public outrage. Two days later, thousands of protestors took to the streets. Led by Zefzafi, the protestors called for greater government investment in social and economic programmes and more jobs.
Zefzafi was arrested 29 May 2017 for "undermining interior state security", according to the public prosecutor, and for allegedly interrupting a preacher in a mosque during Friday prayers to call for further demonstrations.
Despite his incarceration – he is still awaiting trial – he seems to have got his wish. Since his arrest, demonstrations have been held on a nightly basis in al-Hoceima.
Reactions to Zefzafi have been various but can be classified into two main categories: those who support him and those who do not. Those who support him stress the fact that he comes from a family of anti-government protestors that traces its origins to the historic figure of Abdelkrim al-Khattabi, a Riffian political and military leader who led a revolt against French and Spanish colonization. Zefzafi's parents' home village, Izefzafen, is inhabited by the Aït Ouriaghel tribe, to which Abdelkrim al-Khattabi belonged. His grandfather is also said to have held the post of interior minister in the short-lived Republic of the Rif, and his uncle, murdered in 1978 near Larache, is said to have worked as al-Khattabi's chief of staff.
Zefzafi's own father was an activist in the National Union of Popular Forces Party and then in the Socialist Union of Popular Forces Party, but he resigned when the party took part in the government in 1998.
Some see Zefzafi as leading a new Moroccan Arab Spring. Others consider the Moroccan government's decision to arrest him in an attempt to stop al-Hirak as a big mistake that has only raised his profile.
Those who do not support Zefzafi regard him as focusing too much on the Rif, foregrounding the Amazigh (Berber) identity, brandishing the Amazigh flag and the Republic of the Rif's flag, instead of the Moroccan flag, which is absent from his protests. They also see this populism as attracting unnecessary international attention that may degenerate into uncontrollable violence.
Further, the fact that the uprisings have taken a political turn since April 2017 has led many to think that the unrest was instigated from abroad by Moroccan diaspora dissidents. This view was corroborated, some believe, after it emerged that the Catalonian separatist movement in Spain was supporting al-Hirak because it thought that it too was separatist.
For some observers, he is a champion of al-Hirak, but for others he is a fake hero, an extremist or even a collaborator with the enemies of the Moroccan nation, particularly the Algerian secret service.
Despite these divided opinions, Zefzafi has become an icon for the youth of al-Hoceima. This is forcing the government to rethink its attitude towards the Rif, and it has already begun implementing a number of investment programmes.
Generally, Moroccans take the view that a direct royal intervention, combined with Zefzafi's release, would solve the problem. However, some believe this would only serve to underline the failure of the justice system to punish a citizen accused of undermining state security.
For the Moroccan journalist and political analyst Sadek Hajji, Zefzafi's movement "can only upset the established institutions without tipping the regime. Morocco has gone through centuries without major upheaval, mainly because of its monarchical system. Today, Moroccans do not want another Arab Spring because they see the devastating consequences in Syria, Libya and Tunisia. However, it is clear that most Moroccans long for further reforms, more social justice, development, freedom, democracy and accountability."

Darcy Sweet is a bookshop owner and a lover of mysteries and ghost stories. She's highly intuitive and blessed/cursed with odd feelings and visions. So she's some kind of psychic. Cool!
Something's been feeling wrong lately and her feelings are usually always right. So when she finds her neighbor's dead body, she knows she's got her work cut out for her.
This was a very interesting mystery read! Not only did Darcy have her "sixth sense", but she also had the help of her intuitive cat (who was more like Lassie than anything else) and her dead Aunt Millie, who still haunts the bookstore.
Could it be the new hunky detective that rolled into town? Or could it possibly be her ex-husband, who has been bugging her about some old photos? Wouldn't that be great? Oh, no, it turns out the whole town is a suspect in this murder investigation.
A quirky mystery!
My rating: 5 stars

During your visit to Thailand, you'll find it easy to come into contact with Thai Classical Dance. There's a good chance you'll see it performed in your hotel lobby or as entertainment during dinner. You'll probably have a hard time following the story line, but the graceful movements, colorful costumes and striking masks can be appreciated by anyone.
Thai Classical Dance is accompanied by a group of five to seven musicians. The lead instrument is a Thai version of the xylophone, while other instruments might include a lute, zither, oboe, barrel drums and gong-chimes.
But also keep your eye out for more low-key performances while touring the country or visiting a night market. While not as glitzy as Siam Niramit, these performances can be equally enthralling.

We have long admired the flowers our neighborhood humans have chosen to plant–with decided favoritism to native wildflowers!
Today, Hickory, Miz Flora and I leaped over to a new garden bed they put in this spring. Miz Flora though it was quite resourceful–though long-overdue–that they split their coneflowers and planted the splits in a new location, adding to the beds.
The plants don't have the fullness of the original bed, but for only being in six weeks or so, they are doing well. Except…why are some of the flowers missing petals?
"Wait!" Hickory chitters. "I want to save that for mystery day."
We squirrel-grappled with this–which meant lots of running around tree trunks–but finally I won out…mainly because Miz Flora spoke up!
The petals are being plucked off by finches as they eat the seeds on that side of the flower.
Miz Flora asked: "I want you to pose this question to our regular readers: Have you ever observed finches eat flower seeds while they are most definitely still green?"
We are confused, maybe because squirrels don't eat green acorns.

so they don't toot their kazoo
for every passing parade
i have to merit attention–
earn it or don't get paid
some say it's harsh and rigged
but i say it's discerning
if they all liked everything i did
what would i be learning?
no, i won't get a trophy
no, i won't get an "A"
no, i won't get a million bucks
for just waking up today
how will we be equipped and prepped
if we're all coddled like cattle?
how will we conquer the glowing opponent
in the smoldering heat of battle?
it's okay to fail
it's okay to lose
it's okay to just. be. okay

Cheers to a fantastic event.
Once it's all over, it's time for a celebratory drink and to start on the next project, right?
Slow down partner, this shouldn't be the case.
In order to get better and better at your job, you need to get into the minds of the people who were there.
Did they prefer the chicken or the fish? Was the music too loud up front and too quiet in the back? Were the bathrooms shiny and sparkly—but the silverware tainted with fingerprints?
Bottom line, knowing whether the event was 'good' or 'bad' just ain't enough. You can't keep a watchful eye on everything and you can't trust your own judgment. You're biased and you know it.
The cure to the common bias is called a post event survey. And a survey with the right questions is the post-mortem that gives you what you need to know to improve your event planning.
And the best part? It'll come straight from the minds and mouths of the people that matter.
Here are a few tips to get you going.
If you want to get the best feedback possible you should:
Let's dive into this a bit more.
Don't know where to start with your event feedback questions? These are the five essential questions you need to ask:
Asking these questions in your post-event survey will give you the chance to find out the nitty-gritty details. Now, let's look at them in a bit more detail.
➝ Check out our guide on how to write the best training survey questions
Do you want to leave people with a bad last impression of the event?
I bet you don't. So try your best not to make your survey feel like a chore that just kills the vibe. Because people will just skip the nuisance and go about their day.
So, if you want more, better answers—don't overstay your welcome, and just stick to the questions that give you value. But make sure to keep it interesting, friendly, and worthwhile—just like your next event.

Iranians Offended by Ahmadinejad Treatment
September 25, 2007
Well, surprise, surprise, surprise, as Gomer Pyle would say. Iranians are offended by our treatment of their leader, as any citizen of any country would be in similar circumstances. Iranian television broadcast the clash between Columbia University
dunce head President Lee Bollinger and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday. In an area of the world where hospitality towards one's guests is considered vitally important, the outrage was almost universal. Iranians termed Ahmadinejad's treatment "shameful," with some indicating that Bollinger's bad behavior strengthened their view of the U.S. as a bully. The "Ugly American" is alive and well, only this time we didn't bother traveling to foreign countries to insult people.
While state-run radio in Iran commented: "The surprising point of the last night meeting is the behavior of the university president," which they termed "full of insult;" numerous Iranian university chancellors busied themselves by writing to Bollinger, describing his statements as "deeply shameful." They asked Bollinger to respond to 10 interesting questions, including "Why did the U.S. support the bloodthirsty dictator Saddam Hussein during the 1980-88 Iraqi-imposed war on Iran?" and "Why has the U.S. military failed to find al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden even with all its advanced equipment?" Pajamadeen would also like an answer to the latter question.
According to a CTV article, at least one Iranian felt the way we did, while listening to Bollinger's attack. "I don't know why he [Ahmadinejad] stayed there and did not leave the meeting. Their attitude was an insult to the nature of the meeting," said a Tehran nurse, Mahmoud Rouhi. Grocery store customer Rasoul Qaresi commented: "The meeting and their approach showed that Americans, even in a cultural position, are cowboys and nothing more."
Happy now, Mr. Bollinger? Hope your personal adrenaline rush at public expense was worth it. Yep, that's the way to foster peace with a country with whom we haven't had diplomatic relations since 1979; insult your guests, violate their cultural mores and watch the fur fly!

J.R. Ward 'Dark Lover'
I intended to only review books published in 2007 on my blog, since there are a lot of review sites out there with huge databases of older books. Well, since my readership pretty much consists of Anne and Stewart (oh I know you're lurking out there, Jean) I'm going to break that rule and throw one in for Anne about Vampires.
Also, it's my belief that to judge the usefulness of any review/er, you should know something about that person. So I'll say up front that I enjoy action films. I tend toward the female protagonist supernatural type, not so much the Die Hard type (although I really enjoyed Con Air with Nicolas Cage) but I come to them with different (ok, lower) expectations than I do when I see movies of other genres. I loved Underworld, was it silly? Of course!
That having been said, my ability to 'suspend need to snort out loud' when it comes to supernatural/paranormal books is pretty high. I haven't read a lot of the genre, so I'm still feeling out where I draw the 'this is a bad book/this is a good book' line. But there's a lot of material out there so I have a feeling it'll get pretty clear, pretty quick. (See Dark Seduction review)
I definitely enjoyed reading Dark Lover. I have to admit that my snort 'o meter went off a couple of times (The Black Dagger Brotherhood consists of Wrath, Vichous, Zsadist, Rhage, Phury, Torhment and Darius!!) But I genuinely liked Beth, she's not stupid, and thank goodness, when put next to a super alpha vampire hero, she doesn't need to prove she can fight harder than he can. Wrath is, well, a super alpha vampire hero with a little self loathing thrown in for good measure. The writing tends toward the colloquial "ya feel me?", the characters swear and they like loud rap music. The book is well paced, I liked the heroine and didn't laugh out loud at the hero, the secondary characters are decent, the sex is very steamy and of course you have simple, truly evil bad guys. For what it is, fun to read.

text: lockmup68 Report post Posted August 6, 2019 So headed out west and lost power along the way. In CO, pulling the grades at 15 mph. Turbo boost is barely 10 psi. Not burning oil, not blowing smoke, no check engine light. Take it into shop and they say it has an EGR code and a Turbo code. EGR is stuck open and won't shut. Replace EGR and no other codes. Today pulled all the way from SLC to Farmington, getting bursts up to 20 psi on the turbo, but still down on power. Not burning oil, not blowing any smoke, no check engine light, Taking the hills about 25-30 mph, so better than it was, but not like it used to be. Once we hit the flat, cruise all day long at 70. 761k on ISX. Another symptom, 3 stage jake used to about throw you through the windshield, now on stage 3, not really holding back at all. Compression issue? Anything to check? How to diagnose? is this a compression check, dyno? Time for turbo? or inframe? Good news, AC is working great, generator is working great, air bags all fixed. transmission is shifiting great, front steers riding nice, and new lock on the fridge keeps the door shut and stuff inside the fridge. (gotta look at the bright side). We are getting there, just slow in the mountains. Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EMCS stands for "Excise Movement and Control System". It is the name of an IT system that the EU countries and the EU Commission currently cooperate to develop.
The system is to be used by the European tax administrations for controling businesses dealing in wine, beer, liquor, tobacco and energy products (ex. oil and gas) under duty suspension, inside the EU's internal borders.
Currently, companies must complete a consignment note in 4 copies, when trading with the aforesaid types of goods. With EMCS they only have to complete an electronic consignment note and the receipt of goods also takes place electronically.

Fast Shingles Cure
Because VZV becomes latent in cranial nerve, dorsal root, and autonomic ganglia along the entire neuroaxis, the virus can manifest anywhere on the body. Typically, the activated virus causes a prodrome consisting of skin sensitivity and mild-to-severe radicular pain, and after five days, a rash appears. The pain is associated with itching and dysesthesia. As with HSV-1, VZV infection decreases sensation in the affected dermatome, yet the affected skin is exquisitely sensitive to touch. The rash may continue to produce pustules that lead to crusting and ulceration. In many affected patients, healing is delayed beyond two weeks and is accompanied by increased skin pigmentation and scarring. Lesions can erupt outside the affected dermatome but rarely cross the midline and are not clinically significant. Distribution of 10 or more lesions outside a single dermatome suggests early evidence of viral dissemination. The term "zoster sine herpete" is used to describe VZV that is reactivated without the typical pattern of skin eruption.
Of the facial nerves, the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve is most frequently affected in herpes zoster (Fig. 11), and this event can cause optic keratitis, a potential cause of blindness. The most visible sign of motor nerve involvement is facial paralysis as seen in Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition which is more properly described as herpes zoster cephalicus (Fig. 7). Patients affected with this condition also have palatal and laryngeal paralysis and hearing loss. Acute facial paralysis with pain and hearing loss is pathognomonic of herpes zoster infection. The diverse manifestations of VZV activation
are exemplified in Figure 12, which illustrates VZV affecting a left thoracic dermatome concomitantly with left-sided facial palsy. A diagnosis of zoster sine herpete should be considered for patients who have acute facial paralysis accompanied by moderate-to-severe pain and no vesicle formation (23).

It would be nice if you could add some fine zoom control shortcuts or tool. Right now the zoom steps are fairly large, which is fine for standard use. The large zoom steps can make saving screenshots difficult because or the level at which analyzer information is displayed can vary. I noticed the Up/Down zoom step shortcut and the Ctrl-Up/Down large step shortcut already existed, but an Alt-Up/Down could be easily added. It would be nice to have a mouse shortcut along with the keyboard command.

Maybe also add a means to set an explicit scale (say time shown over the horizontal axis of the window) That way it becomes easier to compare different captures

We are privileged to work with so many outstanding organisations right across the sector. It feels like we have a front row seat, seeing first-hand the impact each of you create in people's lives and in our community.

Crescent Dawn by Clive Cussler
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Crescent Dawn by Clive Cussler with Dirk Cussler SATURDAY, 06 AUGUST 2011
I can't remember when I started to read the novels by Clive Cussler probably sometime in the late 70's early 80's and more than likely when I was on my holidays.
I really enjoy a good adventure story and when combined with archaeology and the ancient world they are even better and when Clive Cussler brought us his popular hero Dirk Pitt I was hooked.
The latest in a long line of his stories that I have read is "Crescent Dawn" first I have to say that I am not fond of collaborations between authors, unless they have series stories from the start I sometimes think that joining together in a later book just does not work.
With "Crescent Dawn" it was the first of the Dirk Pitt stories I have read that was written with someone else as a consequence I believe that it didn't work, I did read the book from start to finish, however I just couldn't find the pace and excitement of other Dirk Pitt adventures.
What is the book about?
Dirk Pitt returns in the extraordinary new novel from the number one bestselling author. In A.D. 327, a Roman galley with an extraordinary cargo barely escapes a pirate attack. In 1916, a British warship mysteriously explodes in the middle of the North Sea. In the present day, a cluster of important mosques in Turkey and Egypt are wracked by explosions. What ties them all together? NUMA director Dirk Pitt and his team are about to find out, as Roman artefacts discovered in Turkey and Israel unnervingly connect to the rise of a fundamentalist movement determined to restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire. From Washington to London to the treacherous shores of the Near East, dangerous men and desperate acts fill their path, and at the end of it, the most dangerous thing of all: the rumoured existence of a mysterious 'manifest', lost long ago, which if discovered again …just might change the history of the world as we know it.
I can't say I didn't like the book, I did, it's just that it wasn't what I was used to the usual cast were as ever very good however I did find that Dirk, Jr. and his sister Summer came across as second class imitations of their father it maybe that in future stories they mature into more of their own personas.
I also found that some of the geographical research was flawed, I live in London overlooking the Thames and The MI6 Building, I regularly cross Lambeth Bridge to visit St. Thomas' hospital passing by Lambeth Palace so when we are told that Buckingham Palace can be seen across the river from Lambeth Palace it does disappoint me The Houses of Parliament that can be seen, Buckingham Palace is not by the river!
So after seeing such mistakes as that I was and still am a little wary of the research done for this and future books.
I can only give this story 2 stars it was ok, I did like it as a boy's own adventure but maybe I'm losing my boyishness?
I will find out when I read the next Clive Cussler Yarn which is on my list.

I don't know about you but I started to realize that most of my busy life is spent in a forward-moving motion, or a sailing through everything – experiences, feelings, challenges, achievements, happy moments and sad moments. That's why I am taking time today to reflect on the past year and set my intentions for the upcoming New Year—2015!
Like most women I know, I rarely take the time to acknowledge my achievements and instead always remember what I could do better (yes, I'm a recovering perfectionist). Acknowledging your achievements is a very important aspect of re-discovering your authentic power and I am going to share my 2012 achievements by declaring them in this blog.
My 2012 achievements:
Wow, that feels good!! I would like to invite you to pause, to take a moment now and make your own list of achievements. No need to be modest here – recall as many as you can! Be your most loyal fan , supporter and best friend. Feel love from within!
Now, let's move on to the next phase: setting intentions. Imagination allows you to shape your world according to your desires. It is often said that you must have a vision for your life because when you create a vision for your life, doors begin to open. Dream big, talk positively to yourself, and don't focus on potential obstacles. Believe that the bigger the obstacles, the bigger will be your rewards and your future.
You may choose to set long and short term goals. Make them visual and exciting. "Believe big and Pray bold" as pastor Joel Osteen stated. Use your energy to believe instead of worry. It will increase your capacity for happiness.
My 2013 intentions:
That's my intentions' list. I'd like to suggest that you compile yours now! Don't worry about the HOW – just dream and enjoy the process. You may come to a few closed doors before you encounter the open ones! Be confident in who G-d made you to be.
Wishing you Joyful and Prosperous New Year!

text: Phase: Explore Discussion Areas: Share a recent journey // Comparta un viaje reciente To provide I must sacrifice To make the daily commutes of all South Florida drivers smoother, quicker and safer. 4 0 Written by Stefan Eccles 16:35, Jun 14, 2018 Full description I live in Broward county and my daily commutes have taken me from my home in plantation to Downtown Miami to Boca Raton. One of the glaring issues that will help address traffic all across Florida in my eyes is very simple. These delays end up affecting ones mental fortitude, and emotional strength each and every day. to be able to make it on time for your job you typically have to leave your home 30 to 45 minutes earlier just to account for traffic, taking you away from people able to provide extra time for yourself and your family. A portion of the traffic does occur from accidents but a majority of the traffic is caused by the lack of lanes for the extended population to travel on at peak times. Exit lanes are minimum and cause back ups and delays for miles back because of the citizens fighting to get off the highway and the use of tolls have caused many people to sit in traffic for hours at a time before getting home while others pay $10 dollars to get a few hundred feet ahead of others (I95). What can be done is to get rid of all tolls and expand the exit lanes and make dedicated lanes of exit for each individual exit. expanding the exit lanes and making dedicated lanes for each exit will nullify the traffic that build up from people exiting and closing tolls all a steady stream of traffic to move. A simple flat rate tax Can address any lost monetary the county and state will need to maintain the highway. Written by Stefan Eccles United States Share this Applaud 4 comments Join the conversation: Comment KatieWalsh 100 16:50, Jun 14, 2018 Thanks very much for posting Stefan. I'm Katie, one of the facilitators here. I want to thank you for bringing up the topic of travel time interfering with family time - this is just the sort of thing we want to hear about. Is your job something you could do at home? Maybe not, but - I'm just wondering if Miami city could encourage working from home - for family reasons with the side effect of helping the traffic sit. It seems a bit odd to live in a modern, well, city of tomorrow, and not make use of the internet, and spend so long in traffic each day. I know a lot of bosses are suspicious of home work - just a thought - but do reply and let me know what you think. link report Stefan Eccles 17:52, Jun 14, 2018 Hello Katie, yes that is an option that has been available to me. Being able to work at home has its pros but nothing in my opinion beats working from the office because of the access to everyone in your company and the resources available on site. Even if a portion of people happened to work from home to lower the traffic that still does not solve the problem. Traffic congestion begins at 7:30 am till 10 Am and 4pm to 8pm Monday through Friday. the lack of accessible roads, clogged streets and highways cause a trickle down affect to also our local roads. most of our roads are bottle necked even if you want to make a simple commute across the city during those times. It doesn't help either that the highways are always under constant repairs and renovations. I believe increasing the amount of lanes on the highways will loosen up traffic flow and also will decrease the snails pace people deal with as the exit lanes clear as the light lets people off to their destination. Realistically the issues probably lays in poor city planning or better yet the city outgrowing its original road ways. Renovating of roadways and proper maintenance will allow a better commute for most travelers. Also more 'Smart" traffic lights that monitor traffic flow would help manage time management. If the lights are more synced and integrated with real time traffic updates that would help facilitate the movement through the county and all of South Florida. Automation and Renovation would be my biggest additions. link report KatieWalsh 100 06:39, Jun 15, 2018 Thanks Stefan - if there was a train, or a bus, that took you to or near your work from your home would you prefer that? link report Stefan Eccles 10:55, Jun 15, 2018 Improvement on public transportation would be good. We would need more hours of operations for bus routes and more buses in service. the train is good idea and we do have a metro that run from Miami Dade county to west palm but the frequency of travel is not that great. I am game for opening up more lanes on the highway and removing tolls from our biggest commuted highways and charge a flat rate from the county to maintain the highway. or improvement of public transportation because the time intervals between stops are not consistent enough. link report

This last school board meeting, the board was able to greenlight a pilot program for Pioche Elementary, referred to as the Summit Learning Program.
According to a presentation given by Principal Stephanie Vincent, this is a project-based program that will better cater to the needs of each individual student. While the pilot program is being limited to sixth grade, the statistics shared during the presentation were promising, and if the program is successful enough, we could see this method of education implemented around the county.
?Summit Learning is a personalized approach to teaching and learning, inspired by the vision to equip every student to lead a fulfilled life,? Vincent said in an email to the Record.
Summit Learning was developed by Summit Public Schools over the course of 15 years, in partnership with nationally acclaimed learning scientists, researchers, and academics.
?Every single element of Summit Learning is grounded in what science tells us about how students learn best – from student outcomes to the design choices made in order to achieve those outcomes.
Summit Learning has three pillars to the student experience. The first is project-based learning, where students spend the majority of their time working alongside teachers and classmates on real-world projects.
The next pillar is one-on-one mentoring. Students meet weekly with a mentor to ensure daily actions and progress align with long-term goals.
And finally, the third pillar is individualized pathways, where students are empowered to set goals and deeply understand content by consuming it in a way that is best for them.
Summit Public Schools rank among the best in the nation, according to Vincent. They?ve won awards for school design, including being selected as one of ten schools to win the XQ Challenge in 2017. Fast Company named Summit one of the most innovative organizations in the country.
?More importantly, Summit produces phenomenal results for its students. Ninety-nine percent of Summit graduates have accepted to at least one four-year college and Summit students complete college at double the national average. For students of color, that far outpaces any other school in the country,? Vincent said.
She added, ?Through Summit Learning, students enter adulthood with a deep understanding of how they learn best and a clear vision for achieving purpose and well-being in life.?

A perfect balance of sweet and savory, this pumpkin and apple pizza has the deal sealed with bacon and delicious roasted garlic and ricotta cheese sauce!
Note: This post was updated on August 13, 2019 with new content for your enjoyment!
Bacon makes everything in life taste better. Am I right? In a way it's kind of like salt…only better. If you love bacon as much as I do, then you're going to fall head over heels for this pumpkin pizza.
The pizza sauce is a sweet mixture of roasted garlic and ricotta! It has fresh pumpkin and green apple that is cooked in the fat rendered from the bacon and is balanced with peppery arugula. Pizza night will forever be changed and store bought or restaurants will never live up to this pumpkin pizza recipe.
Tip For Making The Pizza Sauce
Unlike a lot of pumpkin pizzas, which rely on canned pumpkin puree for the autumnal flavor, this recipe uses a different sauce; ricotta cheese and whole roasted garlic.
For the best results, roast the garlic for 5-10 minutes extra. Especially if it is a large head. This helps make sure the garlic cloves are soft enough to smash into the sauce. I mean, you could absolutely leave the garlic cloves whole if you want, but you get a better distribution of flavor this way.
How To Make Pumpkin Pizza Even Better
To take this pumpkin pizza recipe from awesome to phenomenal, use some of this culinary tips below. I highly recommend the first one so you get a flavorful pumpkin. It adds such a better flavor to the pizza than pumpkin puree does.
- Buying Pumpkins For Cooking. Don't end up with a watery and bland pumpkin; know which kind will give you the best flavor!
- How To Cook A Pumpkin. This has all the tips you need to know about how to sauté a pumpkin.
- 9 Tips for a Perfect Pizza Crust. Get the perfect homemade pizza crust by following these tips!
- How To Roast Garlic. The sauce for this pizza uses not one, but two heads of roasted garlic. Find out how to get the perfect texture to keep it smooth in the sauce.
- How To Buy & Store Bacon. Find out the right cut and thickness to purchase for the best results on this pizza!
Also, for this pumpkin pizza I recommend using a whole wheat crust. This will give the pumpkin pizza a richer and deeper autumnal flavor that accents the other overall profile better.
Pumpkin Pizza Recipe
It may seem like an odd thing to put on a pizza, but arugula's slightly spicy and peppery flavor adds a lot to the flavor profile. It's a very tender green and doesn't have a super high concentration of water, so it tends to get crispy and paper thin if baked for too long.
For this pizza, I recommend placing it under the bulk of the toppings before cooking. This helps it maintains its supple texture with little fear of it ruining your pizza or preventing the crust from baking because of its moisture content.
Want a free printable grocery list for this autumnal pumpkin pizza recipe? Everything is listed in standard grocery store amounts. If no size is specified, even the smallest package will provide more than enough.

Happy Cooking! 🙂
Pumpkin and Apple Pizza with Bacon

- Preheat oven to 500°F or as high as it will go.
- Stretch the dough to make a 12" pizza, place it on a pizza stone sprinkled generously with cornmeal and set aside.
- Remove each of the roasted cloves of garlic from the head and use a spoon to smash them into a paste. Stir in salt and ricotta until completely combined. Spread out on pizza dough as the sauce.
- In a large skillet over medium low heat, cook bacon to desired level of crispiness. Do not drain fat.
- Put arugula on top of the garlic-ricotta sauce. Carefully spread out the hot bacon, pumpkin, and green apple mixture on top of ricotta. Add the red onion and finish out by sprinkling the shredded cheese on top.
- Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 17 Minutes or until the cheese is golden brown, you have lightly caramelized onions, and the crust is at your desired doneness. Remove the pizza from the stone with a pizza peel, cut into eight slices and serve.

Ohio School of Ministry Classes
Reminder: If you are taking courses with the sole purpose of becoming credentialed with the AG and you and/or your spouse have had a previous divorce(s), please contact the Network Secretary's office at firstname.lastname@example.com. You must have approval of you and/or your spouses divorce(s) before you are allowed to pursue credentials. We would highly encourage you to begin this process before starting courses. If you are only taking courses for the purpose of training and do not have interest in becoming a credentialed minister, the divorce process is not required.
Touchstone Course – Offered every other year in the spring (next offering 2021)
The Touchstone Course is an overnight course with the goal of fostering community around student and instructor relationships. The course is held on a Friday evening and Saturday at the Network Resource Center, with a block of rooms reserved at the Fairfield Inn behind the office. The course provides the theological locus and framework for doing ministry in today's world by exploring the image of God and uniqueness of individuals in the human race. Topics include race, gender, economics, and the human body. Each student will be expected to work through these themes throughout their OSOM career and apply them in ways that impact/fit their context and call.
Any new students taking three or more courses through OSOM starting September 2016, must take the Touchstone course in order to graduate from OSOM, (whichever level they are completing), which is typically offered every other spring. In order to graduate from OSOM at any level, the Touchstone course must be completed prior to finishing the ordained courses, or within two years of the desired level of courses. It is recommended that students take the Touchstone course during the Certified level. This is not a credentialing requirement, but a requirement to graduate from any level of OSOM. In addition, if a student wants to pursue an accredited degree through the SEU Ohio Campus, the graduation certificate will be a requirement. Students should note that graduating from OSOM strengthens how the Presbytery views their educational background.
The biblical principles for spiritual multiplication are evident in the pages of the Scriptures and in particular in the book of Acts. In A Spirit-Empowered Church, we will look at the heart of dynamic church growth: creating Spirit-empowered disciples who are involved in five activities—connect, grow, serve, go, and worship. A church dynamically involved in these five activities change individuals, families, and communities with the love and power of God's mighty Spirit. The author of the text, Alton Garrison, shares the Acts 2 church model, which can renew the spiritual vitality of your congregation. The church of Acts 2 turned the first-century world upside down for Jesus. God wants to use your church to do the same today.
The Biblical Role of Women in Leadership (this is required to graduate from OSOM, but not required for credentials.)
This course will explore leading women throughout Biblical history. This class will use the book and workbook, written by Dr. Deborah Gill & Barbara Cavaness, to discover the cultural contexts in which women were mightily used by God. Discussion will also cover the famously quoted Timothy passages and what Paul's intent was behind those instructions.

'The Social Network' and its secret club settings
HollywoodNews.com: Aaron Sorkin, the screenwriter of David Fincher's upcoming film "The Social Network" about the creation of Facebook, received an inside look at Harvard's private student clubs while researching the feature.
Sorkin adapted Ben Mezrich's book "The Accidental Billionaires" about Facebook pioneers Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin for the film. Thanks to Mezrich, Sorkin got to see what life was like at the Ivy League school's men-only clubs, which are a crucial part of the film's setting.
"Saverin — who later sued Zuckerberg over credit for co-founding Facebook — was a member of Harvard's Phoenix Club; Zuckerberg wanted to be a member but never got in. Twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, members of the prestigious Porcellian Club, hired Zuckerberg to develop their social-networking Web site, ConnectU. Zuckerberg instead developed what is now Facebook."
In addition to interviewing the clubs' members, Sorkin witnessed certain taboo rituals, i.e. the "[bleep] truck" that would deliver girls from all-girls' schools around Boston to Harvard parties. A hazing ritual for Phoenix Club included prospective members being judged on how gorgeous their dates were.
At the Porcellian house, Sorkin and Mezrich observed the building's 'mirror system,' which lets members on the inside observe pedestrians on the street without their knowledge.
"The Social Network" stars Justin Timberlake, Jesse Eisenberg and Rashida Jones, and bows at the New York Film Festival on Sept. 24.

US Preparing to Deploy Additional Troops to Saudi Arabia Amid Spat With Iran – Report
Tensions between Washington and Tehran have escalated in the last few months as Iran withdraws from voluntary obligations under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal and the US builds up its military presence in the Middle East under the pretext of "the Iranian threat."
The US president's administration is reportedly prepared to send its military personnel to Saudi Arabia, according to CNN, citing two unnamed defence officials.
According to the report, five hundred troops are slated to be deployed to the Prince Sultan Air Base, located to the east of the country's capital of Riyadh.
The US troops will reportedly become reinforcements to the US military and support personnel already on the site with beginning preparations for a Patriot surface-to-air missile system, a runway and other airfield improvements.

My condemnation of Priti Patel's disgraceful attack on Britain's Gypsy and traveller community, in which she is calling for new powers for the police to be able to immediately confiscate the vehicle of "anyone whom they suspect to be trespassing on land with the purpose of residing on it" – a policy change that the police themselves don't even want, as they recognise that the main problem is the lack of site provision, a requirement that was repealed by the Tories in 1994. I urge all decent people to rise up against this foul government, and also to be aware of where a far-right drift in government can lead.
My report on the welcome news last week that the High Court ruled that a decision by the Metropolitan Police to impose a blanket ban on Extinction Rebellion in London last month was unlawful – and my warning that we need to be vigilant, and to ensure that no draconian new law is introduced, as happened in the 1980s and 1990s, after the Battle of the Beanfield and Castlemorton, with the Public Order Act and the Criminal Justice Act.
My review of this week's WOMAD world music festival in Wiltshire, looking particularly at how, although it was a wonderful festival, the global environmental crisis hung over proceedings, as, to my mind, it hovers over everything these days, demanding that we get involved in bringing down the entire suicidal capitalist system that is destroying us.
In this year's article marking the summer solstice, I contrast how the free festival pioneers urged revellers to "leave no trace", in contrast to today's throwaway culture, and, looking at the bigger picture, I urge anyone interested in the cycle of the seasons that Stonehenge so vividly represents to urgently get involved in environmental activism to try to prevent the worst effects of an already unfolding and unprecedented man-made environmental crisis that requires the whole of humanity to grasp that, collectively, we must all work out how to "leave no trace" if we are to sustain our existence on earth.
It's 34 years since a truly disgraceful event in modern British history – the Battle of the Beanfield, when police under Margaret Thatcher violently decommissioned a convoy of modern-day nomads, environmental protestors and anarchists trying to get to Stonehenge to establish what would have been the 12th annual Stonehenge Free Festival. 34 years on, I discuss a thread that runs from the free festival movement to Extinction Rebellion, the movement of now, which, powerfully but sadly, has an urgency that no previous protest movement has been able to call upon.
My pledge of commitment to the struggle to save ourselves and much of life on earth from the worst effects of man-made catastrophic climate change and species extinction, which is already underway. With thanks to those who have recently led me to this commitment: Dahr Jamail, Extinction Rebellion, Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough. Please get involved!
It's the fourth day of Extinction Rebellion's occupation of four sites in central London, as part of a demand for immediate political change to tackle the already ongoing global environmental catastrophe. If you can get involved at all, please do. As Extinction Rebellion explain, this is an unprecedented climate emergency, and we need to do what we can to change the way we operate immediately.

Skippy and Flipper Tied
In case you are wondering, Skippy the Kangaroo and Flipper the Dolphin tied for coolest at 17 votes each. I can face my Aussie partner Jago with a clean conscience now! The vote was close though, and the drama built at the end - but a tie was the ultimate result.

The glorious sunshine we have had this summer prompted me to get my sandals out and show a bit of ankle! I even went as far as putting my shorts on, sorry to shock those of a nervous disposition.
But we haven't always had that luxury. Back in the 1920's there were laws against that sort of thing.
So – what's this got to do with computers? Well it's a roundabout way of getting you to think about what you're revealing to the world in terms of your personal data.
I know I.T. people nag incessantly about passwords but in these days of email communication, social media and online file storage, often the only thing standing between you and a voyeur is the strength of your password.
So – here's a list of 10 deadly sins that I've come across – I'm sure none of you have ever done any of these but here they are as a reminder of what not to do.
- Writing your password on a post-it note stuck to your computer
- Sticking it on a scrap of paper on the underside of your desk
- Using "Password", "123456", "qwerty", "letmein"
- Using a simple password but with 0 or 3 in place of an O or an E. (Yup – hackers have caught on to that one)
- Using a dog's or child's name
- Telling a co-worker your password
- Telling someone in the IT department your password
- Password is the same as your username with a 1 at the end
- Changing your password that has a 1 at the end to the same with a 2 at the end
- Never or rarely changing your password
I'm happy to hear confessions!
It's not easy though – you're busy and the passwords you are often given are stupidly complicated.
So what can you do? Well there's lots you can do – try the following for a start.
- How about using the initial letters of a phrase that means something to you – for instance: MyDgHs16Fl (My dog has 16 fleas)
- Set a good example in your office or family by changing your password and standing firm on not sharing it. There are ways of sharing information without sharing your passwords. It might take a little bit of setting up but it's much safer that exposing everything. Ask me if you'd like to do this but not sure how.
- Set your screen-saver to need a password when you come back to your PC after making the coffee.
If you think your laptop is safe, ask a teenager to try to hack it – you may be in for an unpleasant surprise – my friend's 14 year old once confided in me that he knew the net-nanny password but I wasn't to tell his mum as she would change it if she knew! I didn't tell on him but I persuaded the friend to change the password anyway. Go to Get Safe Online for more info.
Or download the infographic (above) from the National Cyber Security Centre:
It's a big bad world out there – do what you can to keep safe.
For help with this or with any IT issues please contact me at Risk Evolves – I just luuuurve talking about computing, but don't trust me to keep any secrets from your Mum.

John Boehner
Donald Trump has, to borrow a phrase from Barack Obama, changed the trajectory of the GOP, contended Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Marshall in a Thursday post. "The white ethno-nationalist party which Trump has brought out of the shadows and mobilized," wrote Marshall, "is now and will continue to be the Republican party…This seems like a transformative event." Even if "committed Trump supporters" constitute only "10% to 20%" of the party, argued Marshall, it doesn't matter: "If Trumpism were simply a loud and radical faction within the GOP, there would be some comparable faction opposing it…But there's not. In other words, the size of the Trumpite faction within the GOP (and I'd argue it's quite large) is beside the point because it demonstrably rules the GOP."
Several decades ago, there were plenty of right-of-center Democrats and left-of-center Republicans. These days, however, almost everyone agrees that the Democrats have become a distinctly liberal party and the GOP a distinctly conservative party. One who disagrees in part is writer Conor Lynch, who in a Saturday article claimed that Republicans have transitioned out of true conservatism and now are "extreme nihilists" who have "embraced Bolshevism of the right."
Lynch noted that pundits such as George Will and David Brooks "have widely condemned Donald Trump as a fake conservative, and they're not wrong. Trump is clearly not conservative—but neither is the Republican Party...[which] has become an increasingly friendly place for…the kind of characters who used to make up the John Birch Society…For the sake of John Boehner's mental well being, he is lucky he got out when he did."
NBC's Late Night host Seth Meyers has a clearly documented record against conservatives, but the show from late Thursday into Friday sunk to a new low as he cracked a joke about John Boehner's Lucifer comments toward Ted Cruz as an implication that he's worse than the now-revealed child molester Dennis Hastert.
All three network morning shows on Friday reveled in John Boehner's vicious attack on Ted Cruz, hyping the former House Speaker labeling the Texas senator "Lucifer in the flesh." The NBC, CBS, and ABC broadcasts portrayed the comment as another "challenge" that "really hurts" Cruz's campaign. On NBC's Today, correspondent Peter Alexander happily punned his way through a report: "For Ted Cruz, counting on a comeback, the devil's in the details, with former Speaker of the House John Boehner at a private event giving Cruz hell."
Whenever a Republican lawmaker either leaves office, passes away, or trashes a conservative, you can bet that someone in the liberal media will be there to suddenly heap praise on them and MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews was there Thursday night to compared former Speaker of the House John Boehner to "Michael the Archangel" "with wings and sword" versus Ted Cruz as "one in the tail and cloven hooves."
On Thursday's CNN Newsroom, host Brooke Baldwin and chief political correspondent Dana Bash both seemed amused by the vitriol aimed at GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz by both former House Speaker John Boehner and by fellow candidate Donald Trump. The first sign of amusement occurred while Baldwin was reading a recent quote from Boehner in which he called Senator Cruz "Lucifer in the flesh" and a "miserable son of a b****," as what sounds like a giggle -- presumably from Bash -- can be briefly heard in the background.
The Washington Post's Philip Bump followed the Huffington Post's example on Thursday in semi-seriously pursuing whether Ted Cruz is, in fact, "Lucifer in the flesh," as former House Speaker John Boehner recently put it. But instead of turning to a Satanist, the journalist consulted with a pastor/exorcist, even though he admitted that "of course there was no truth" to the Republican's jab at the Texas senator.
Instead of going on a tirade against Donald Trump or the horrors of ISIS, TBS's Full Frontal host Samantha Bee chose to resume her vile attacks on conservatives with her latest show on Monday night featuring video of an elephant pooping to describe Republicans elected in the 2010 midterms. Specifically, Bee dubbed Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy (S.C.) as the "Benghazi queen" and the House Freedom Caucus as "wild-eyed tea party kamikazes" whose "mission" has been "to block the cock of democracy."
Over the past four weeks, as the broadcast networks have covered the House leadership contest, reporters have gone out of their way to relentlessly paint House Republicans, especially the Freedom Caucus, as ideologues who are outside the American political mainstream.
From September 25 to October 23, MRC analysts reviewed all 82 ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news stories about John Boehner's resignation as House Speaker and the race to succeed him. The coverage included a whopping 106 ideological labels of Republicans, including 35 casting conservatives as extreme: "far right," "hardline," "very conservative" or "ultra-conservative."
As Representative Daniel Webster appeared as a guest on Tuesday's New Day on CNN to discuss his intention to run for Speaker of the House of Representatives, substitute co-host John Berman pressed the Florida Republican to vow to work against a government shutdown in the face of calls by some GOPers to defund Planned Parenthood.
On Monday's New Day on CNN, anchor Chris Cuomo complained about Republicans wanting to defund Planned Parenthood as he questioned the "urgency" of doing so "before you investigate the allegations," leading guest and former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor to decry the "grotesque" revelations about the abortion provider.
During a discussion of House Speaker John Boehner's announced resignation and the impact it could have on whether there is a government shutdown as Republicans try to defund Planned Parenthood, Cuomo fretted:
After the shock resignation of John Boehner, should you fear and dread the rise of a revitalized right wing in Congress? Sunday's New York Times front page featured a "news analysis" on the surprise retirement announcement of House Speaker John Boehner. The takeaway from Jonathan Weisman and Michael Shear's label-heavy story was encapsulated in the headline: "The Post-Boehner Congress and Washington's Sense of Dread." Fear and dread among those who hew to the conventional wisdom dispersed by the liberal media, at least.
