Wisconsin Teens Will Discover a Whole New Way of Learning This Year at JA Finance Park
MILWAUKEE (August 10, 2015) – Teenagers are more tech savvy than ever before, and Junior Achievement of Wisconsin (JA) is responding with a tablet-based learning system. The new curriculum will be introduced this fall at JA Finance Park in Milwaukee, which is part of the JA Kohl's Education Center.
"We are very excited about the tablets," said Melisse' Wen, senior program manager with Junior Achievement of Wisconsin. "We've had teachers asking us for less paper and more technology for a while now, and this year we're able to deliver."
The digital and paperless curriculum enables students to engage in real-world financial activities such as online banking and paying bills via tablets, while being introduced to concepts like insurance, credit, and long-term investments. The curriculum also supports real-world simulations through which students are assigned a salary, interact with merchants, and can make payments via debit cards.
Wen explained other ways in which the program has improved:
"In the previous program, kids would have a vehicle, but they wouldn't have to account for the cost of gas or maintenance. Or they would have a family, but they wouldn't have to factor in the cost for childcare," she said. "Now the system is more realistic than ever."
Statistics show that 44 percent of millennials look at their phones more than six times an hour[1]. Incorporating technology into students' learning through this redeveloped curriculum will help them make better connections between what they learn in school and how to apply it in the real world.
Though the program has been updated and improved, Wen said one thing will stay the same—the relationship between the students and the volunteers.
"Our volunteers are still an essential part of what we do," she said. "Students work closely with them to understand budgets and develop a financial plan."
"With more than 10,000 students completing the JA Finance Park program this year, it is our hope that we provide them with the education they need to have a successful and financially stable future," said Junior Achievement of Wisconsin President Tim Greinert."

Two Wallabies in world top 10
Michael Hooper and Israel Folau have been named in the world's top 10 rugby players.
Rugby World magazine released a list of their top 100 current players for 2017, with Hooper and Folau coming in at no. 8 and no. 5, respectively, behind the number one, England's Owen Farrell.
The pair are two of eight Aussies in the list, though just five of those eight played Super Rugby last year.
Flanker David Pocock, at no. 41, will be back in Australia next month after a year's sabbatical, but former Wallabies centre Matt Toomua (60) looks unlikely to play for the Wallabies again, after re-signing with Leicester until 2019.
Will Genia, who was playing in France at the start of 2017, is the third in that trio, coming in at 42.
Sekope Kepu (81), Bernard Foley (46) and Kurtley Beale (14) rounded out the Aussie contingent in the much-debated list.
New Zealand had the most players in the list, with 16 men, while England had 15, including Farrell and the top-ranked woman, Sevens and XVs star Emily Scarratt.
Scarratt was one of six women in the list, that was drawn from XVs performances.

Completion of North Herts Museum to go ahead after deal gets green light
PUBLISHED: 06:55 22 November 2018 | UPDATED: 13:25 22 November 2018
Danny Loo Photography 2018
Development of the North Hertfordshire Museum will now be completed, after the sale of its entrance – 14/15 Brand Street – was approved on Tuesday night.
North Hertfordshire District Council had said that a minor amendment had to be agreed with Hitchin Town Hall Ltd and bankers HTH Finance Ltd before the sale of the museum entrance could be green-lit.
Councillor Tony Hunter, the district council's executive member for community engagement, said: "At its meeting last night, NHDC's cabinet agreed to the purchase of 14/15 Brand Street from Hitchin Town Hall Ltd.
"This will enable the council to complete the development of the North Hertfordshire Museum and Hitchin Town Hall project and operate the facility for the benefit of the local community.
"We are now in a position where the parties will proceed to carry out the necessary legal steps to conclude the transaction."
Before the agreement the district council has been deadlocked with charitable Trust Hitchin Town Hall Ltd and its bankers HTH Finance Ltd over the purchase of 14/15 Brand Street for more than two years,
And during this time, the Conservative-run council has managed to get the museum open – without access to parts of it that are in 14/15 Brand Street.
In a joint statement to the Comet, Stephen Pike, chair of trustees of Hitchin Town Hall Ltd, and a spokesman for HTH Finance Ltd said: "Hitchin Town Hall Ltd and HTH Finance Ltd are pleased that cabinet have approved the wording of the Settlement Agreement approved by HTH members at their EGM on October 30.
"The district museum can now be opened to the public and we look forward to the official opening.
"Legal documentation will need to be signed but in the meantime we wish to work with NHDC and request that they take up our offer so that the hardworking museum staff can have access to their three rooms and use our lift.
"HTH a registered charity has achieved its objectives ensuring that the town hall will always be a community asset and that if NHDC no longer wish to own/operate they will always give five years' notice so that the residents have time raise funds to purchase and manage it.
Mr Pike added: "We're delighted that we agreed the arrangements with NHDC particularly protecting the town hall with a five-year rolling arrangement such that if the NHDC decided that they no longer wish to operate the town hall for the community we would have an opportunity to either acquire or run, so that's exactly what we've been holding out on for years and we are delighted that we eventually got there."
Following the agreement, the district council has said a further statement will be issued in due course.

First Trimester Survival Kit
First Trimester Survival Kit
My First Baby Blog
I haven't done a blog post for a while, this is due to a couple of reasons. I have been very busy moving house and coming to terms with my new life to come.
The other reason was because a few people were commenting on how bad my grammar was on my blogs so it put me off writing any for a while. I have now decided as I enjoy writing blogs and taking the photos that I will continue and if people like to read them then that's a bonus.
So I am expecting my first baby and thought I would start doing some baby blogs, as this is what is happening in my life at the moment. My first baby blog is going to be ' First Trimester Survival Kit.
Pregnacare Original Vitamins
You have to take certain vitamins while you are pregnant this was something I didn't even know when I first found out I was pregnant. I picked these vitamins up in Boots as they are for pregnant women and contain all the vitamins you need. I brought these on 3 for 2 and they are £4.10 a box.
I have been told its very important to drink lots of water and keep hydrated while pregnant so I always have bottled water with me where ever I go.
Stretch Mark cream/oil
I have been using stretch mark cream since I found out I was pregnant as I would imagine your skin starts to stretch straight from the beginning. I have started with the cream but I am going to try the oil as well. I don't know which cream or oil is the best. I had the Cussons Mum and Me Bump range free in my Bounty Pack so I am currently using this one. I just picked up a cheap oil to try for £1.99 but haven't tried this yet but oil is supposed to be the best thing to prevent stretch marks.
Bath Time
I have a bath every night as I find this relaxing. At the beginning of my pregnancy I was very exhausted and having a bath was the best part of the day. You can get bubble bath for mums to be so would also recommend trying one of these. I have the Mum and Me Sleep Tight Baby Bath.
Bounty Pack
You can get Bounty packs from your local Boots store. I would recommend going to pick this up as its a great started kit. You have lots of advice and freebies. I am signing up to a lot of stores, shops and websites for coupons and freebies. I have so far signed up to Boots, Asda, Bounty, Emmas Diary, Aptaclub and I am sure there are many more. Comment below if you know of any good ones.
I hope you enjoyed reading my come back baby blog. I will keep blogging and hope you all enjoy reading them. Comment below if you have any good advice for the second trimester or know of any recommendations on stretch mark cream.

The First World War had started and finished and I (William McMaster) still had a few months to go before leaving school and I knew that things would never be the same again as teenage life approached amidst economic and social change.
The transition from war to peace resulted in the continuation of dire poverty, as the soldiers returned home to mass unemployment, and many a father, son, or relative, did not return. And so the distinction among working class people was as clear as ever, the employed, and the unemployed. Therefore the social consequences were more defined in a small closely knit community like Renfrew, and indeed, would lead to changes In the years to come.
Therefore the teenager, as is always the case, had problems, the town had changed little, and then the Loanhead and Victory Gardens housing schemes were built, but unfortunately most Renfrew people could not afford the rents, better off people then moved In and were instantly branded as interlopers, and as for the Renfrew people who could move in and afford the rent, most of them were in good jobs and had decent wages. So the town was slowly changing, and for many young people there was no future even with an apprenticeship, and the next few years until 1939 and the start of the second World War the years were wasted. Around 1931 the cruellest blow of all was the reduction in the "dole" money and the introduction of the means test.
This test considered the total family income and led to a reduction in "dole" money for one or more of the family if another was working so that everyone suffered and this resulted in a serious disruption of family life. These observations may appear to have little to do with Renfrew's history but surely social and economic problems and their consequences are a part of the structure of history, Renfrew, or otherwise. Apart from religious organisations having their own social activities, little was or could be done. The churches offered an empty shop in Fulbar Street as a social club and provided a small billiard table, and the Salvation Army had weekly concerts for some time.
The British Legion had a social club in Muir Street, and the Independent Labour Party rented the loft above the disused stable located where the newsagent is on the west side of Hairst Street, both of which provided some sort of social activity. The Brown's Institute which was meant for the use of the young men of Renfrew, was well furnished, and had a large fall sized billiard table, but somehow it seemed to get taken over by the "better off", but for those who had the odd "tanner" to spare there was a great snooker hall across the road at 38 Canal Street "up the builders close".
The Regal Cinema had a weekly matinee at cheap prices, but in the evening the prices varied according to which part of the cinema you occupied, the balcony being the dearest and the front rows the cheapest. Sub standard housing and overcrowding being as it was, the front rows were known as the" flea pits". There was also another cinema, situated in Moorpark more commonly known as the 'Moorkies" or for those better acquainted with this establishment "The Bug Hut".
I pass by the wasted years, and 1939 finds us at the start of the Second World War, and strangely enough a solution to some of the problems. Manpower for the forces having been met, their was employment for men and women at home. Rationing was introduced, and people who once had plenty to eat, found they were far healthier with less, but the black market with different kinds of goods to sell was a temptation, and people who had experienced the hungry years were better fed.
New techniques in engineering and other industries found a need for "semi skilled" and the term labourer was fast disappearing. So I mention these few facts because they have a bearing on the aftermath which proved to be so different from the previous war.

The first-place Calgary Flames.
For the Saddledome supporters, that must have a nice ring to it.
American Thanksgiving is one of those take-stock moments on the NHL's annual calendar and as our friends south of the border filled up on turkey and football Thursday, the Flames were perched atop the Pacific Division standings.
There's a buzz building in this city.
There's a belief building in the locker-room.
"When we're playing fast, when we're playing our game, I think we're one of the best teams in the league," said Flames centre Mark Jankowski. "I think we just have to keep our foot on the gas. We can't get complacent. It's a long season, obviously."
Indeed, we're barely past the quarter-point of the 82-game slate. A whole lot can happen between now and when the post-season invites are stamped in April.
Still, statistics show that it's not especially easy to change your fate after U.S. Thanksgiving.
Of the 16 teams that marked the holiday in a playoff spot last fall, 11 remained there — and that was the lowest percentage in several seasons.
Over the past five campaigns, 62 of 80 teams in a playoff pegging on American Thanksgiving have ultimately qualified for the spring dance.
Pacific Division standings as of Friday morning:
"It's talked about a lot, and it has proven over time to hold some water," said Flames head coach Bill Peters. "But it's not fool-proof. It's the quarter mark, and you get an idea of where you're at."
Where they're at — after three straight victories, including Wednesday's 6-3 doubling of the Winnipeg Jets — is the top slot in the Pacific Division and third in the Western Conference with a 13-8-1 mark.
A good place to be, no doubt.
"I think we're pretty upbeat, happy with the way we've been playing," said centre Derek Ryan, one of a handful of off-season additions for the Flames. "But I've been talking with a couple guys and I feel like we haven't quite reached our potential at the same time, which is a good thing."
Heading into Friday's matchup with the Vegas Golden Knights in Sin City (4 p.m., Sportsnet One/Sportsnet 960 The Fan), there is a lot to like.
Pacific Division scoring leaders
Summer trade acquisition Elias Lindholm has been a dandy fit on both the top line — Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan and the new guy in No. 28 are all averaging upwards of a point-per-game — and first power-play unit, while the soon-to-be-very-rich Matthew Tkachuk has managed to pile up a team-leading 27 scoresheet mentions all while working in a shutdown role and cementing his status as Public Enemy No. 1 among Edmonton Oilers fans.
When they boarded Thursday's flight to Las Vegas, the Flames ranked as the second-highest scoring team in the Western Conference, and that's without much contribution from prized free-agent signing James Neal, who has mustered just three tallies and one assist so far.
Not to be overlooked, Sam Bennett is suddenly thriving as a sparkplug, tops on the team with 52 hits and having tussled with a pair of tough customers — Ian Cole of the Colorado Avalanche and Darnell Nurse of the Oil.
On Calgary's back-end, 35-year-old captain Mark Giordano is playing some of the best hockey of his career, while a more comfortable Travis Hamonic has provided the sort of stability the Flames figured they were getting last summer and the arrival/emergence of youngsters Rasmus Andersson, Noah Hanifin and Juuso Valimaki has transformed this into a legitimately deep blue-line brigade. (Their seventh defenceman, Michael Stone, will be out indefinitely after being diagnosed Thursday with a blood clot in his arm.)
Both the biggest concern and most pleasant surprise this fall has been between the pipes. An all-star last season, Mike Smith has struggled mightily, but backup David Rittich has been splendid with an 8-1 record in nine starts so far.
These Flames have shown a whole lot of resilience en route to six third-period comebacks, although those rewrite specials shouldn't be necessary with their new habit of scoring five goals in the opening stanza.
They rebounded from that 9-1 pummelling from the Pittsburgh Penguins — or, as Peters put it, "rock bottom." They're 8-3-1 since then.
"I really like how, as a group, we're confident," Giordano said. "We haven't changed the way we've played in a long time now. Wins, losses, being up, being down … We're bringing that same style of play every night. Good teams are consistent, and we feel like we're a good team.
"When you pile up some wins, that belief gets stronger and gets stronger. But also those few comebacks in the third, when you're down a couple and you get back into those ones, then it becomes a dangerous group. Because now, no matter what the score, the style of game, we feel like we can get the win."
They should be feeling confident — they're the first-place Calgary Flames.
The key now is to continue to hang around there.
"We believe that we have some really good players in here and a team to ultimately be a team that can go up against any team in the NHL and feel good about ourselves going into the game," Tkachuk said. "So that's a good feeling."

Laura Smither, a 12 year-old girl, was abducted on April 3, 1997, while jogging close to her home in Friendswood, Texas. Over 6,000 people took part in a massive nationwide search. Her body was found on April 20, 1997, On April 23rd she would have been 13 years old.
A letter from Laura's parents:
Dear Reader,
Laura was our daughter. She was a light in our lives and we were privileged to share her life. Thank you for taking time to read who she was and what she meant to the people who knew and loved her.
Laura was 12 years old when she was ripped from our lives. She had been counting down the days till her 13th birthday for 87 days, and changed her message board that morning to read: "Only 20 days 'til my birthday! She was really excited about becoming a teenager.
Laura had an extremely high IQ and was in the gifted and talented program. She had aspirations of attending Stanford University. And Laura lived to dance. She was a ballerina, studying at the Houston Ballet Academy. She had danced in a production of "The Nutcracker" every year since she was 8. She just loved to perform. Ballet was her life and her joy.
She was also a certified scuba diver, and had just begun learning to play tennis. She was a Cadette Girl Scout working on her Silver Award and already thinking about a project for her Gold Award, the Girl Scout equivalent to Boy Scouting's Eagle Scout. And she was the Houston Rockets basketball team's biggest fan! She slept in the 6th Man T-shirt. Laura had a great sense of humor and would joke about being the first woman in the NBA, without ever playing basketball! She didn't live long enough to celebrate the Houston Comets, of whom she would have been so proud.
She loved to travel. World history and politics fascinated her. She was the sweetest child. Gentle, considerate, loyal - the greatest friend anyone could have. Everyone who knew Laura, loved her. She was touched by light and brought joy to everyone who met her.
On April 3rd, 1997 Laura was abducted from our home in a stereotypical non-family abduction. She was missing for 17 days. Our community was astounding, supporting our family in a massive nationwide search to find Laura. We were devastated when her remains were recovered on April 20th. The medical examiners office ruled her death a homicide.
Laura's murderer has never been held accountable and no charge has ever been made in her case.
Laura's family begs the person or persons responsible for Laura's murder to do the right thing and be accountable to law enforcement.
We pray for Justice for Laura.
Thank you for remembering Laura.
Bob and Gay Smither

|Your dental health is important, and our patients' safety is our top priority. Please read our office update letter on COVID-19
Kids With Special Needs
At Design Dentistry, we work with children and adults who have a wide range of needs. All children can benefit from a pleasant and gradual introduction to dental care, particularly if it is their first experience. This is especially true for patients with special needs. Building on a foundation of positive experiences can foster improved compliance and alleviate dental anxiety, ultimately improving oral and overall health.
The Special Needs Child
A knowledgeable dentist can help prepare you and your child for changes in oral structures, issues with feeding, and future development changes.
Some children lack the ability to fully open their mouths due to jaw development and may have difficulty brushing and flossing regularly, leaving them at risk for developing cavities. Children with sensory challenges may be averse to the texture or sensation of toothpaste and a toothbrush. Other children may have a diet higher in sugar which can affect oral development, increase risk of tooth decay, and increase the risk of related infections; or may be fed via g-tube - which decreases the risk of dental decay, but increases the rate of calculus deposition.
Finding a dental team that listens, becomes a therapeutic partner, and has resources available to families is key in establishing a life-long relationship toward the health of your child.
Dr. Rinta has extensive experience in hospital-based dentistry and was formerly the Dental Director at the Providence Portland Child Center... He continues to practice several days a month at Providence hospital and maintains privileges at Providence Portland, St. Vincent, and at the Kaiser surgical center on Interstate. Primarily, Dr. Rinta's time at the hospital is spent treating patients with special needs or who are medically fragile for the Providence Specialty Pediatric Dental Clinic.
Sedation Dentistry
For patients with special needs or high anxiety, our office provides several methods to calm their fears, complete needed treatment, and maintain their oral health; call our office at (360) 834-4990 to learn more about sedation dentistry.

9 Things Parents Should Never Say to Their Children
SOURCE: Adapted from an article by Mark Merrill
When it comes to your kids, your tongue can do a whole lot of damage, if you're not careful. Never underestimate the defeating power of a few careless words. So here are 9 things that you should never say to your kids:
- "Why can't you be more like _________________?"
Comparisons are toxic and they serve no positive purpose. Comparing your child to their brother, sister or friend only tears down your child and makes them feel like they're not good enough or don't measure up. Treat each child of yours as an individual. Never say, "Why can't you do well in school like your sister?" Do say, "What can we do to help you do your very best in school?" Each of your children is unique. It's important to treat them uniquely.
- "I don't have time right now."
One Saturday morning ,when my son, Marky, was a little boy, he showed me his ball and glove and said, "Dad, let's play baseball." Of course, since I'm Mr. Family Guy, I said, "Sure, son." Right? Wrong. No, I said "I don't have time right now. I'm fixing the toilet. Just give me a few minutes." Well, the minutes turned into hours and when I was ready that afternoon to play ball, my son said, "No thanks, Dad." When we say, "I don't have time," what we're really saying is, "What I'm doing is more important than what you need." or "There's something else I'd rather be doing." Is there anything more important for us to do than to spend time with our children and family?
- "I don't think you can do it."
What your child hears is, "I don't believe in you." Knowing you believe in them gives your kids strength, courage, motivation, tenacity, and more. Take that belief away and the damage will be huge. When you're tempted to say something like this, instead say, "You've got some big obstacles, but I'm here for you, cheering you on and ready to help you to do your very best." While you don't want to fill your kids with false hope or inflated pride, you do want to encourage them in their goals.
- "You're such a disappointment."
Your kids can mess up, and they will. We all do. But if you want your children to learn from their mistakes, address their mess and how it can be fixed without hanging it on them. The label of failure is a heavy load to carry, and most kids won't hold up. Try saying, "Your [bad grade, bad choice, etc.] is disappointing, but I love you no matter what. What can you learn from this?" Separate who your child is from the mess they've made.
- "Don't be such a wimp."
This should never be said to a boy or a girl. But, for a boy, it's basically saying, "You don't have what it takes to be a man" and can damage him to the core for quite some time. Saying, "You throw like a girl" to your son can have the same effect.
- "You're such a bonehead."
Telling your child they're stupid is implanted in the hard drive of their mind and is difficult to delete. It's certainly no way to motivate them.
- "Can't you do anything right?"
When a parent says this to a child in the heat of the moment, it's not only saying that the child messed this one thing up, but also that they mess up everything. It's always dangerous to use broad brush words like always, never, everything or anything.
- Why didn't you make the starting team?
Your daughter or son probably tried really hard to make the starting team, but landed on the B squad. They probably already are disappointed about it and don't need anyone to pour vinegar into their wound. Instead, they need to be praised for doing their best and for even making the team.
- "So you made a B+, why didn't you get an A?"
When something like this is said, here is what a child hears, "Nothing I do is good enough for my mom or dad." If they did their best, we should praise them. If they didn't, we should challenge them to give it everything they've got the next time.

Right now she's in quiet time, playing with her little doll houses. So happy to finally be 5 and so happy to have new toys! Birthdays are a wonderful thing aren't they? They don't have to be expensive, don't have to be fancy, don't have to include a dozens of friends and fancy food. They just need to be full of joy and love and thankfulness!

National League: Gateshead 2 Dagenham & Redbridge 0
PUBLISHED: 16:57 06 October 2018

Dagenham & Redbridge slumped to a fourth successive defeat in the National Legaue after conceding two goals in the space of three first-half minutes at the Gateshead International Stadium on Saturday.
Peter Taylor made two changes to his starting line-up from the 3-1 home loss to Ebbsfleet as captain Ben Nunn came in for his first start of the season and Chike Kandi was also preferred in attack.
And the first effort of the game came on two minutes when Elliot Romain produced a darting run at the home defence and slid Kandi through, but Scott Barrow stuck a leg out to block.
A mistake by Luke Pennell then handed Scott Boden a chance at the other end, but he could not keep his shot down and it flew harmlessly over.
And Alex McQueen produced a good block to deny Robbie Tinkler on the right, with the resulting corner coming to nothing.
McQueen was involved at the other end on 13 minutes, playing the ball into the box to find Harry Donovan, who teed up Kandi, but the striker could not find the target.
However, Daggers fell behind five minutes later when Tinkler's driven ball wasn't dealt with and Steven Rigg followed up to beat Elliot Justham.
It was 2-0 just two minutes later as Tom White turned his man on the edge of the box and beat Justham with the aid of a deflection off Alex Davey.
And the hosts could have had a third on 26 minutes when Barrow whipped the ball in from the left and an unmarked Jack Hunter headed over
But Daggers then got a rare sight of goal when Donovan's corner was not cleared and Shamir Mullings fired high and wide.
Justham saved well from Barrow, while Greg Olley fired straight at the Daggers keeper before the break.
And Nunn shot well over the crossbar after the restart after trying his luck from long-range on 48 minutes.
After a relatively quiet spell, Olley forced Justham into action again after breaking into the box and letting fly, but the keeper was equal to it.
And Daggers had a let-off on 57 minutes when a defensive mistake by Davey gave Boden a good chance, but he fired well over the target.
The visitors had the ball in the net on the hour, through Kandi, but the referee called play back after a foul by Fraser Kerr on Donovan.
And Daggers went close from a well-worked free-kick as Matt Robinson set up Donovan to cross for Mullings, whose effort was tipped over by Aynsley Pears.
Mullings made his mark at the other end on 62 minutes, clearing a header from former Newcastle defender Mike Williamson off the goalline at a corner to deny the Heed a third goal.
And a Boden header from Tinkler's cross midway through the half was not good enough to test Justham, before Taylor sent Lamar Reynolds on for McQueen.
Nunn sent another effort from distance over the home crossbar with 18 minutes left, before Liam Bellamy and debutant Jack Munns came on for Kandi and Donovan.
And Munns worked some space for himself in the box, only for his shot to be well blocked by Williamson on 83 minutes.
But Gateshead went closest to scoring again when Barrow crossed for Boden, who should have found the net but couldn't make sufficient connection and Daggers were reprieved again.
Daggers: Justham, Nunn, Pennell, Davey, McQueen (Reynolds 68), Robinson, Donovan (Munns 76), Wright, Kandi (Bellamy 76), Mullings, Romain.
Unused subs: Hoyte, Moore.
Attendance: 687 (including 54 Daggers fans).

Seems like a nice way for using pointers > without all the warps? "Immutable strings" doesn't work so well, since a string literal is "immutable" anyway. You might differentiate by mentioning that the string is fleeting and the symbol persistent, perhaps. A string literal only exists as long as the interpreter is evaluating -- whether for assignment, for printing to standard out, or whatever else it may be doing with it. You might also differentiate by pointing out that string literals are not necessarily unique, while symbols are -- duplicate string literals may be stored in several different variables at once. In fact, several copies of a given string literal might all be stored in the same array. A symbol, meanwhile, is unique -- and everything that looks like a copy is actually making reference to the same thing under the hood. This is where you start getting into implementation, though, which some Rubyists consider verboten as a means of defining symbols when discussing it within the context of the language. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Amazon.com interview candidate: "When C++ is your hammer, everything starts to look like your thumb."

Stanislav Kochanovsky
Stanislav Kochanovsky was born and studied in St. Petersburg where he was singled out early on in his career as a unique talent and is now considered one of the brightest and most promising young conductors heralding from Russia today. With an in-depth knowledge and experience of a wide range of symphonic and operatic repertoire gleaned during his formative years conducting at the Mikahilovsky Theatre in St Petersburg and as Principle Conductor of the State Safonov Philharmonic Orchestra, Kochanovsky is now receiving attention from orchestras and opera houses around the world.
Stanislav's highly successful debut with Italy's Accademia Nazionale Santa Cecilia in 2014 immediately resulted in a return invitation, as did his debut at Opernhaus Zürich where he conducted Pique Dame in 2016 and a new production of Eugen Onegin the following year. Other recent debuts include concerts with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI di Torino, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, Orchestre National de Lyon, NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo, Malaysian Philharmonic, China National Symphony Orchestra and the Israel Symphony Orchestra. Recent opera engagements have included Iolanta at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Prince Igor at the National Opera Amsterdam and Boris Godunov at the Korean National Opera in Seoul.
After the successful debuts with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse in 2018, highlights of the 2018/19 season include debuts with the Orchestre de Paris, the City of Birmingham Symphony, the Guerzenich Orchestra, the Stockholm Royal Philharmonic. Kochanovsky is invited back to perform with all the mayor orchestras he already debuted with, including the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the Brussels National, the Russian National Orchestra, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, the Orchestra Sinfonica della RAI, the Melbourne Symphony, among many others.
After his 2017 debut at Verbier Festival with the production Eugen Onegin, he will return this summer, which marks the 25th anniversary season of the Festival, conducting one concert and the opera Rigoletto.
Stanislav Kochanovsky attended the Glinka Choir School in his home town of St Petersburg before going on to graduate with honours at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatoire, where he studied choral conducting with Prof. Tatiana Khitrova (2004), organ with Prof. Nina Oksentyan (2004) and opera-symphonic conducting with Prof. Alexander Titov (2008).
His collaboration with the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St Petersburg began in 2007 where, from the age of 25, he was given the invaluable opportunity to conduct over 60 opera and ballet performances.
From 2010 to 2015 he was Principal Conductor of the State Safonov Philharmonic Orchestra, and since 2012 has worked in close partnership with the State Academic Symphony Orchestra "Evgeny Svetlanov" in Moscow. He also regularly performs with the St. Petersburg and Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia, the State Symphony Orchestra "Novaya Rossiya" and Mariinsky Symphony Orchestra.
Stanislav Kochanovsky lives in St Petersburg with his wife and two children.

So I am sat here annoyed grumpy unhappy and just generally blah, playing tetris at crazy speeds and swearing quite 18+ everytime either I fuck up or the tetris gods are against me for giving me the wrong pieces. I have no idea if I'll ever be able to beat this score on Inga's list heh, but it has to be doable. But tetris is a strange game, I started off quite poorly, but over time I have found myself to improved vastly, but the odd thing is I'm doing all this with little effort, I'm at a point where I am just sat here playing, dropping a tetris piece every second moving at crazy speeds and still managing to get tetrises but whilst all that is going on I am sat here thinking about all sorts of crazy stuff like:
I wish I had a god, but a god with batteries included, not one that requires you to interpret the messages given to you by strange people, an actual pro-active god that has signs and miracles and flashy stage tricks heh, but of course under the same logic I would also love a pegasus
Those extra adverts that sponsor hollyoaks, they suck, they've sucked alot, all incarnations of them suck, I hate them so simply because they suck
Talking of people who sucks, Cheryl Cole, she sucks, I just can't take her seriously as a judge, I mean she's hardly a musical powerhouse complete with experience that actually ranks you up there, also Simon Cowell can be a bit of a tit when he defends his singers, he knew they were shite but he won't say it to their faces on tv heh
American football, that sucks too. I find all american sports coverage crazy, so facinated with stats and figures, granted for some of the games thats all you have to go on but they take it to a crazy extreme, I know with football they have stats but generally they are team based and we dont quote them religiously like the americans do, and I also find it hilarious how they managed to sell nearly every inch of advertising available. Also singing the national anthem before every game, sucks!
meh, I might rant more later, not even saying half the things on my mind

Inga is great
Quite frankly Inga is great, she's beyond great, on a scale of 1-10 10 being the greatest she's Ω (omega) words cannot sum up how great she is. She's wonderfun!

Constipation, foul breath and rashes are among the potential side effects of being a meatarian. Yet the number of "carnivore dieters" is growing, The Guardian reports. Like a supercharged version of the low-carb ketogenic diet, proponents eat exclusively animal products – eggs, meat and offal – and eschew plant-based foods entirely.
Dubbed the "Carnivore King," Shawn Baker is one such enthusiast. With nearly 40,000 followers on social media, the 51-year-old refers to himself as a "strict carnivore." The orthopedic surgeon has reportedly consumed roughly four pounds (1.8 kg) of meat each day for the past year and a half.
"It can be monotonous eating the same thing over and over again, but as time goes by you start to crave it," Baker told The Guardian. Maintenance is effortless, he added, as the diet doesn't require calorie counting or meal planning. "I just have to think: how hungry am I and how many steaks do I want to eat."

18oz of grass finished goodness! Ribeye from @butcher_box – perfectly seared medium rare on the grill with a bit of salt-now that's the way to do breakfast! How about you? What's on your breakfast menu today?

As Motherboard reported in September 2017, the lifestyle is popular among a small group of self-proclaimed "bitcoin carnivores." Advocates claim a boost in libido, better sleep and improved "mental clarity," as well as diminished inflammation and reduced blood pressure.
"The people who tell you to eat your 6-10 portions of indigestible toxic grains a day 'for a healthy and balanced diet' are the same kind of people who tell you central banks have to determine interest rates for a modern economy to function," Bitcoin carnivore and economics professor Saifedean Ammous told Motherboard.
As Popular Science points out, it is possible to sustain oneself on an animal-only diet. The traditional diet of the Inuit, for example, consists of meats such as caribou, fish, seal and whale. In order for crucial nutrients to be accessed, some of the meat must be eaten raw.
Raw meat is a source of vitamin C, and animal parts such as bones and skin contain dietary fibre, Harriet Kuhnlein, the founding director of the Centre for Indigenous Peoples' Nutrition and Environment at McGill University, told Popular Science. "For greens, traditional Inuit 'ate the stomach contents of caribou and deer.'"
But from Atkins to Paleo, nutritionists have widely condemned meat-heavy diets, warning about potential health implications such as "cardiac, renal (kidney), bone and liver abnormalities." One prominent nutrition expert told Motherboard that the carnivore diet is simply "too ridiculous to be covered."
