Grazing on QPWS estate
Where grazing occurs on Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) estate the QPWS aims to ensure that the management of grazing authorities minimises impacts on these lands.
Grazing is an appropriate use of forestry land where it is compatible with existing forest values and where the activity does not compromise principles of ecologically sustainable forest management.
The Nature Conservation Act 1992 has provided for authorised cattle grazing activities on some protected areas including regional parks where it is consistent with the management principles for these areas.
Grazing is not normally allowed on national parks, however, where a new national park is declared on land used for grazing this activity can be allowed to continue for the unexpired term of the existing lease or permit.
Applicants under the SEQFA Grazing Program will be contacted directly and advised of the outcomes of their application.
Grazing of stock on QPWS estate currently occurs in one of the following ways:
- under a special or term lease issued under the Land Act 1994;
- under a previous use authority issued under the Nature Conservation Act 1992; or
- as a Stock Grazing Permit issued under the Nature Conservation Regulations 1994 or Forestry Act 1959.
Contact the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service for more information.

- "An oppressed and miserable species, the Evocii were once Hutta's sole inhabitants. They were a primitive people, existing in small tribes and possessing basic technology. Then the Hutts came, exchanging their advanced machines for Evocii land until they had bought up the entire planet. Now the Evocii are enslaved, preserved only to serve their corpulent masters' whims. While a few brave Evocii actively oppose the Hutts' tyranny, most have resigned themselves to a life of servitude. The Evocii are generally found in small, impoverished tribes on Hutta and Nar Shaddaa, though a lucky few have managed to escape the Hutts' influence and carve a life for themselves elsewhere."
- ―In-game Codex (Species)
The Evocii are a race of primitive humanoids native to the planet Evocar; which later became the capital of the Hutts' home planet; Nal Hutta.
When the Hutts arrived from their homeworld Varl more than ten thousand years ago, the Evocii were amazed by the wonderful technologies that the slug-like aliens brought with them. Soon they began exchanging pieces of their homeworld in exchange for the technology the Hutts brought with them, until they realized that the Hutts owned almost their entire world. Hutt palaces, amusement parks and other constructions were built all over Evocar, and the Evocii were powerless against the Hutts.

Odigie-Oyegun said the electorate voted continuity and consolidation of Gov. Adams Oshiomhole's multi-faceted programmes.
"Chief John Odigie-Oyegun congratulates the party's candidate and his running mate, Mr Godwin Obaseki and Mr Philip Shuaibu, respectively on their election victory.
"On behalf of the APC National Working Committee, I thank the good people of Edo State for the massive turnout during the election," He said
He also congratulated all 19 political parties and their candidates that contested the governorship election for the fair play and "relatively peaceful conduct" displayed during the exercise.
The APC national chairman called for calm and appealed to the opposition parties to accept defeat in good faith.

A couple of months ago I spoke at a conference called Sense of Place, about the importance of working with Nature rather than against it, and how it shaped my business thinking. You can now hear that presentation on National Radio.
I was really privileged to be on this panel with three other successful small town New Zealand business people to discuss what role location plays in the nature and philosophy of their businesses. The panellists are David Trubridge, furniture maker in Havelock North; Glenn Schaeffer, a businessman and arts philanthropist based in Nelson; Georgina Langdale of Archeus in Hawke's Bay; Davey Hughes of Swazi in Levin; Bryan Cadogan, Mayor of Clutha and demographer Dr Tahu Kukutai.
Here's the link to the presentation. I hope you make time to listen to all the speakers. My bit starts at 22.51.

WORK to boost patient safety at Great Western Hospital has been welcomed by the health secretary.
Jeremy Hunt, the government minister who oversees the NHS, visited the Swindon hospital this morning as part of a nationwide tour.
In a talk to hospital staff he praised work done to improve patient safety at the hospital – including efforts to reduce pressure sores and tackle blood poisoning.
Great Western's bosses have set staff the goal of saving an extra 500 lives by 2020 through safer and better care.
Mr Hunt said: "There's so much innovative work going on at Great Western that is improving patient safety not just locally, but across the entire country because of its commitment to sharing best practice and making the entire NHS safer.
"The trust continues to set itself deliberately ambitious targets to remain focussed on its vision of safety and quality, and I wanted to thank all the staff at Great Western for continuing to prioritise this incredible work even when our hospitals are busier than ever - being so proactive under such pressured circumstances is very impressive."
Thanking staff for their contribution, GWH's medical director Dr Guy Rooney said: "Patient safety has always been the top item on our agenda and it is a credit to our staff that their efforts in providing patients with consistently safe care attracted the attention of the Secretary of State.
"We're known throughout the NHS as an organisation that leads the way in many key areas of patient safety, such as sepsis, where we have helped more than 1,500 people in the last year overcome the deadly condition, and pressure ulcers, for which we are the best performing Trust in the south west.
"Of course, there are some areas where safety can be further improved and this will be where our attention is focused on going forward but, for now, I'd like to thank Jeremy Hunt for taking the time to see for himself the good work that's happening in Swindon."
Health campaigner Samantha Wathen of the Swindon branch of Keep Our NHS Public, praised the work of GWH staff – but questioned the health secretary's commitment to patient safety in the NHS.
She said: "We are incredibly proud of the amazing work staff do at our own GWH and it is only right this is recognised by the government.
"However, hearing Jeremy Hunt advocate for patient safety when he has presided over the worst crisis in NHS history and forced junior doctors to strike over patient safety is a bit rich. Actions speak louder than words and we need him to act to fund the NHS properly for the good of both patients and staff."
In July, Jeremy Hunt and NHS England chief Simon Stevens announced a £325million investment for patient care projects across England.
On a visit to Reading's Prospect Park Hospital this week, Mr Hunt revealed plans to make the NHS publish quarterly reports on the number of preventable deaths.


text: Digital Facebook Asks Users to Help It Get Local Business Owners to Claim Their Places By Josh Constine|July 20, 2011 Share By Josh Constine|July 20, 2011 Share Facebook is taking a social approach to getting local business owners to claim their Place, which is the first step to getting them to buy ads and improve the content on these Pages. Now when Facebook users visit local business Places pages that haven't been claimed, they'll see a link that asks "Do you know the owner?" They can then submit an email address or friend's name, allowing Facebook to contact the owner and ask them to claim the Page. When Facebook launched its Places location-based check-in service, it created Places pages for local businesses by pulling info from location database Localeze as well as allowing users to create Places for locations that didn't have them. Business owners can claim their Places by submitting documentation proving ownership to Facebook. Claiming a Place allows an owner to moderate content posted to the Page's wall, post updates to the news feed, run Check-in Deals to incentivize foot traffic, and purchase Facebook ads promoting their business. However, to date, many Places are still unclaimed because Facebook didn't have contact information for the owners or they didn't respond to inquiries. To fix this, Facebook has released a feature that leverages an owner's friends to get them to claim their businesses.Unclaimed Places now display a "Do you know the owner?" link beneath their profile picture. Any user can click it to open a window asking "Do you think you know the owner or someone connected to this business?" A typeahead allows users to enter a friend's name, or submit the email address if they aren't friends with the owner or representative. Once submitted, Facebook thanks user for their help, and informs them that the person entered will receive a message explaining how they can claim their business. Claimed Places Produce Advertising RevenueOwners don't need to wait for this message, though. All business owners should search Facebook for the name and address of their business to find any Places pages they're the rightful owner of, and then begin the claims process by clicking the "Is this your business?" link beneath a Place's profile picture. This will allow them to drive more foot traffic to their location.Facebook has been making an effort to get rid of duplicate Places pages, but many still exist. It's best for businesses to only have one Places page as it simplifies the check-in process for users, creates a central web presence, and makes it easier for friends to discover which friends are currently at the same location. Therefore, owners should claim the most popular Place for their business, and then report the rest as duplicates by using the "Repoort Page" option beneath the Place's profile picture.Finding admins for more Places pages is important to the success of Facebook Places for several reasons: Admins can post relevant content to their Place's walls or the news feeds of those that Like it Admins can moderate the wall to remove spam or objectionable content Admins can drive engagement with the product by incentivizing check-ins with Check-In Deals Most importantly for Facebook's bottom line, though, is that owner's who've claimed Places and become admins are the only ones who can by Facebook ads promoting the Page. A MerchantCircle survey of local businesses owners showed that while 66% of small businesses have used Facebook for marketing, only 22% have used Facebook ads. This means there is plenty of runway for Facebook to monetize local business owners.By allowing users to instantly create a Places page from their phone for any location they want to check in to, Facebook has likely created millions of new Pages. If it can find people to claim these Places, it could significantly increase its local advertising revenues.[Thanks to Kevin Evanetski for the tip] Share http://adweek.it/2k6m37Q copy Adweek Adweek

It may have started with a headache, back pain, neck pain, or that pulled muscle that really never got better. Now you're taking way too much over-the-counter pain medication to try to ease it and your sleep is suffering. When you've got pain and you're looking to get past the medications and invasive treatments, perhaps a visit to Dr. Yang is in order. If you've never been to one, here is what to expect when you first go in to Dr. Yang Wellness Center appointment.
Make sure you drink plenty of water for your first treatment and bring any other relevant health information such as blood work, X-ray, or MRI result(s) etc to access your condition better.
When you get to the office you will be handed forms to fill out that will let the office know about your health history and what you are coming to the doctor for today. There may be releases for x-rays, if that is also needed. After you fill out this paperwork, you'll turn it back in and wait to be seen. When called back from the waiting room, you'll first see the doctor and she will run some tests typically be a reflex, neurological and orthopedic tests done to test for muscle tone and range of motion and acupuncture analysis. After those initial test are completed you will be evaluated and the doctor will go over what they believe may be wrong and their treatment plan. There could be other tests needed or follow-up care. Dr. Yang is going to be dedicated to getting you healed and feeling better, with better range of motion and with as little pain as possible. Depending on diagnosis and expected treatment plan, you may be getting acupuncture, acupressre, cupping, soft tissue work, electrical stimulation, decompression, taping, alignments, or other manipulations. Your doctor will discuss all of this ahead of time so there are no surprises. There may be several of these done in a visit, or only one. Again, it will depend on the treatment plan and your diagnosis.
After the visit you may feel better, or you may feel slightly worse in the beginning. After a few hours, however, if you were feeling worse you should begin to start icing 20 min on with an hour off cycle to feel more relaxed and at ease with your muscles and joints relaxing and adjusting to their proper alignment. You may need more than one treatment to get your body back into balance, You are always in control of your treatment. If a follow-up visit is planned, you will get a card telling you of your next appointment date. Appointments are generally relaxing and easy, you should feel better immediately or within a few visits. Your visits may not be the same every time you go, depending on your diagnosis. Your doctor will space these treatments as needed for the best possible outcome. If you are trying to decide whether to take the plunge and have treatment, we will be more than happy to answer your questions and help quell your concerns. You are welcome to come in and talk to us at any of our locations in Connecticut or Massachusetts. If you'd rather, pick up the phone and talk to us to see about a consultation call us at any time @ 203-954-1900 and someone will be more than happy to help.

Dr Yang relieved chronic muscle tightness and spasms I've been having for almost a year in just a few sessions. I've tried massage therapy and other chiropractors with little results. She is friendly and attentive and got right to work on my symptoms. She used multiple techniques including acupuncture, electronic stimulation, cupping and acupressure all while applying heat or cooling when necessary. I find her to be very knowledgeable and effective. Would highly recommend her and will definitely go back in the future.
Maggie Bloch
Dr. Yang has changed my life! After years and years of all kinds of medication and doctors for migraines and tension headaches I decided to come off all meds. The work that Dr. Yang has done has stopped most of my headaches and my constant neck pain. I had no idea she would also help me so much with my anxiety as well. I literally feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I am someone who had my doubts about this type of medicine but I am a true believer now. And I've gotten all this relief in such a short period of time as well. I noticed a difference after only 2 visits. I have now been going also 4 months and feel so great! I would highly recommend Dr. Yang to anyone.
Dr. Yang is a true miracle worker. I suffered from horrendous lower back pain and was thankfully referred to Dr. Yang by a friend. When I was waiting to see her, a patient was on his way out and looked and me said, "She's amazing, you're in great hands." He was so right and I want to be sure to take this opportunity and tell anyone else that Dr. Yang IS amazing and is so sweet, caring and so skilled in her profession. I'm so fortunate to have found her, and strongly recommend her to people any chance I get.

Sweet Baby J and I many years ago
While my doctor was treating me with medication, he explained that I should not get pregnant during this time because it would be considered a high risk pregnancy. He went on to say that even if my thyroid levels were at normal levels in the future that I may have trouble with my thyroid putting me at high risk if I ever got pregnant.
To say this news was troubling would be putting it mildly. When I was diagnosed, Jeff and I were newlyweds so we were not yet thinking about children.
But let's be honest.
After I said, "I do", I constantly dreamed of the day when I would be pregnant, when we would have children of our own.
Once my thyroid levels were under control two years later, Jeff and I went about our business as usual. We were not trying to get pregnant but we were also not trying to prohibit it either.
For the next couple of years, we worked on establishing our careers and obtaining our Master's degrees. We built a big, beautiful house. We had a little beagle named JJ who was the sweetest dog ever.
Life was good. We had a good life. Things were going well for us.
However, I am not going to lie. I wanted to have a baby. I wanted to be a mom. I wanted that little person to be part of me and part of my husband.
What I didn't want was to talk about it. If I talked about and said it out loud, then it would confirm what I already was thinking. I could not get pregnant.
So, miracle of all miracles, I became pregnant six years after getting my thyroid under control. Then, thirteen months later, I was pregnant with my second little guy. To say we were shocked would be the understatement of the year!
We were going to have a baby. I was going to be a mom. Words cannot describe it. Elated. Ecstatic. Excited. Scared. Hopeful.
Some moms are not as blessed as I am. Some moms have to have help getting pregnant.
To those moms who are undergoing artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization. Your commitment and endurance is inspiring.
To those moms who have adopted children. Your willingness to open your hearts and your homes to a child is a testament to the warmth of the human spirit.
To those moms who have lost their children. Your courage to persevere after walking though what I imagine is the shadow-of-the-valley-of-death gives me the strength to face my hardest of times.
It doesn't matter if you are a mom for five minutes or for eighty years. It doesn't matter if you are a mom to one child or twenty. It doesn't matter if you have kids via natural birth or via c-section.
At the end of the journey, the result is the same.
You are a mom.
It doesn't matter how you get there, just that you arrived.

Audiences at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival applauded "6 Generations," a movie that brings Chumash history to life.
The film, available on DVD at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, features performances by Ernestine Ygnacio De Soto, a living Barbareno Chumash descendant.
Her mother was the last Chumash native speaker, and her grandmother and great-grandmother helped anthropologists Alfred Kroeber and John P. Harrington understand the Chumash language in the early part of the 20th century. These early recordings can also be heard at the museum.
The film's producer, museum anthropologist John Johnson, shares screenwriting credits with De Soto.
"History is often told using information from the dominant culture," Johnson says, but De Soto's story is told through the voices of generations of Chumash women.
With "6 Generations," De Soto says she is "honoring her children, her ancestors, and herself," by keeping the flame of Chumash history alive. She and her family are not members of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.
This film enhances her one-woman performance with rare, historic photographs and recordings of the Chumash language and songs, as De Soto becomes each of six women in her family covering 200 years of Chumash life in Santa Barbara.

The Samsung RF510 is a high-performance 15.6-inch laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit version). This model is available with both Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, our review model – the RF510-S02 – came equipped with a 1.6GHz Core i7 processor.
Features and Specs:
- Intel Core i7 720QM 1.6GHz processor with Turbo Boost
- Nvidia GeForce GT 330M graphics engine; 1GB dedicated graphics memory
- 15.6-inch HD LED backlit display, 1366×768
- 4GB Memory; 640GB 5400RPM HDD; Multi-layer DVD burner; 802.11n Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 3.0; Gigabit Ethernet
- Built-in camera; SD card reader
- USB 2.0, 3.0; HDMI, VGA outputs; Microphone in, headphone out.
- Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
The Good
Attractive design: The shiny exterior finish, chrome-colored accents and black chicklet-style keyboard makes this laptop turn heads. On the inside, you will find aluminum inlays surrounding the black keys and a unique display bezel made of textured plastic. A chrome power button sits to the right of the volume controls and is accented with a blue LED ring.
Large hard drive: The RF510 comes equipped with a 640GB hard drive, one of the largest available for laptop computers. Spinning at 5400 RPM, it isn't the fastest disk on the block, but its large capacity more than makes up for it.
Fast processor: Intel's Core i7 processor is fast. Running at 1.6GHz it felt like a processor twice its speed. Working with large photo and video files is an enjoyable experience with this much horsepower. Rendering previews in Adobe Lightroom was a trivial task, and it completed even the most complicated photo edits with ease. On the Windows performance scale (1.0 to 7.9) this machine clocks in a 5.9, which is good even for a desktop machine.
Keyboard: The "chicklet style" keyboard was a delight to type on. It is also a full-size keyboard, which includes a traditional numeric pad – this is uncommon for a 15-inch class notebook. If you've used a MacBook made after 2008, you will have a good understanding of what this style keyboard feels like.
The Bad
Display: At a resolution of 1366×768 the 15.6-inch display often felt cramped. 1440×900 would have been a more comfortable resolution for this size display. Compared to other laptop screens, the color temperature on this monitor is very "cool" – images and videos were displayed with a blue tint.
Battery life: During most of our testing, battery life never passed 2 hours – and in some cases the machine needed to be plugged in after only an hour and a half. Adjusting the battery profile from the factory default, "Balanced," to a power saving mode had little effect on overall run times. Plan on packing the AC adapter.
Trackpad: The trackpad earned points for recognizing multi-touch gestures, i.e. two finger scrolling, swiping, etc. but suffered from serious issues with accidental input. Even with the "PalmTracking" set to maximum, it would often move the cursor around during typing.
Size: The overall dimensions of the laptop are fairly typical for a 15-inch machine (14.9" W x 10" D). However, it weighs in at 5.7 pounds and when closed it's nearly 1.5-inches thick. Compared to a ThinkPad T410 (14.1 inches) and MacBook Pro (15 inches), the RF510 felt uncomfortably bulky when it was being toted around.
The RF510 is a powerful laptop in an attractive housing. With USB 2.0, 3.0 and HDMI inputs/outputs, there is plenty of room to grow. The built in SD card reader will come in handy for the photographers out there and the full-size keyboard is an added bonus for a notebook of this size. However, the bulkiness and poor battery life make the RF510 a less than ideal choice for a mobile workstation. If you are planning on pairing this machine with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse, the fast processor and sub-$1000 price tag should outweigh some of the cons. However, those looking for a portable Windows 7 laptop may want to consider a lighter weight alternative.

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- The summer 2017 tourism season is just getting underway and the Eastside is a place most people don't think about when they think of tourism in Western Washington.
The City of Bellevue saw 1.6 million visitors in 2016, up 14.3% percent from 2015. Visit Bellevue's executive director, Stacy Graven says she expects another strong summer tourism season this year.
"We're staying in Bellevue," said Melissa Millis on a cross-country road trip with her mother and friend after graduating college. They came in from Washington, D.C and chose to stay in Bellevue while checking out Washington state.
"We expected it to be a total hassle to get into Seattle, but it's been pretty easy. After we did the city stuff we were like, okay, we want some nature too. So, it seemed like a good middle point if you want a balanced vacation," said Millis who said they went on two hikes around Snoqualmie Falls after visiting Pike Place Market in Seattle and seeing the Space Needle.
Graven says proximity to top tourist spots is one of the appeals of Bellevue.
"Within 15 minutes you can be in Seattle, you can be in Woodinville wine country, you can be hiking at Tiger Mountain," said Graven.
She adds that Bellevue is a "clean, safe and new city," Graven says appeals to families.
Bellevue's safety also a draw for families.
"Going to a downtown setting like Seattle is great and vibrant but sometimes it's nice to come back to your hotel room and have it be a little quieter and have everything you want and feel safe going out in the streets," said Graven.
She adds that Bellevue's exponential growth in tourism is largely because of a strong economy bringing in major companies and those employees bringing in families and visitors.
"Overnight stays in Bellevue have increased 20% over last year," said Graven
The city has three new hotels opening in the summer of 2017. Existing hotels average a 75% occupancy rate. Graven says weekdays are very popular in Bellevue whereas Seattle tends to see more tourists on weekends.
The city has also made walkability a priority.
"The Mercer Slough is a wonderful place for people to take a kayak, we've got zip-lining at South Bellevue Park, and we've got waterfront access too," said Graven.
Bellevue's diverse population means more choices in things like cuisine.
"We just had Thai food, I was waiting for Thai food this whole trip," said an excited Millis.
High-end shopping at The Bravern also a draw for many tourists.
"Oh yeah, I've loved this," said Millis about her vacation in Bellevue.
Graven said Bellevue has become a majority, minority town meaning 51% of the population are ethnic minorities which translates into international visitors, but for the most part Graven says Bellevue's tourism is from domestic visitors.

PhD in Social Work
PhD in Social Work Programs
Earning a doctorate isn't easy at any university. Doing it online has its challenges and also its rewards. Any PhD program or doctoral degree by some other name is going to require a dissertation, which on most campuses requires extensive consultation with and guidance from faculty members. That is not so easily done online, which is why there are not a lot of credible online doctoral programs. The upside to an online PhD in human services is the same as with any online study: if you already have a career in social work you can continue with your job while you study for a new credential. We've assembled a list of accredited doctoral programs in social work and social services that should be equally credible on your resume. A PhD program isn't for everyone; it's a major commitment to study, to research and to extensive writing. But it also results in the penultimate academic achievement.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) — About 50 people met outside the Capitol building Friday afternoon in Augusta to protest President-elect Donald Trump's campaign proposals.
This was, at least, the fourth gathering related to the results of the presidential election since it was called back on Nov. 9.
"We want to make our voices heard and be here and take up space and make a statement," organizer Emma Donnelly said. "The Republican Party says that they want less control from the government, but yet they want to go into our lives and control our healthcare and our marriages and our religion. It's scary."
The protest was called the "We Won't Go Back" protest, named after protesters' beliefs that they will not "go back in time" to when certain people's rights were not respected.
Some Republicans who supported Trump want these protests to stop.
"I think it's absurd," said David Jones, chairman of Making Maine Great Again. "They're doing exactly what they were afraid he and his supporters would do. Why? It makes no sense."
Jones said he encourages free speech, but that he would prefer to see it in the form of a discussion, not a protest.
"We can have open discussions. We have opportunities all the time for people to express themselves," he said. "But please, do it in a positive way."
There have been other protests across the country involving thousands of people. Some of those protests turned violent. In Maine, there have been no reports of violence.
Protesters such as Donnelly said they will not stop protesting until they see Congress deny Trump's proposals.
"Oh yeah, I'm not stopping," she said. "Ever."

2/26/2015: I updated the board to the latest phpBB version, 3.1.3. Unfortunately, since it's a major upgrade to our old version, the old board styles and some modifications I made are no longer usable. I'll search for some new Styles, but for now we'll have to use the default, prosilver.
The other thing I'm concerned about is that I had some anti-spam mods in place with the old version. I'm hoping we have enough anti-spam measures still working until I can research this issue.
Lastly, I'll be moving this board to a new host soon. I'm hoping to be able to do it this weekend (Feb 28/Mar 1).
Let me know if you notice something not working on the board. Thanks.

Cadet Evan Yanagihara, who is graduating this spring, is leaving behind a legacy at Sacramento State's Air Force ROTC program as Cadet Wing Commander of Detachment 088. He will be commissioned in June as an Air Force second lieutenant, joining Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training – an internationally manned, highly competitive training program in Texas.
Yanagihara's impressive resume includes receiving the 2016 Cadet of the Year Award and the 2012 Civil Air Patrol Life Saving Award for saving a friend's life, among several recognitions for leadership and academic excellence. He was honored May 13 at the Air Force ROTC Parade with Cadet Wing Change of Command, where he passed along his role as commander to Cadet Matthew Silpasornprasit.
Lt. Col. Kenneth Morse, commander of Sac State's Air Force ROTC program, calls Yanagihara a clear standout achiever in the program.
"He is the top cadet in our detachment, and I will be proud to send him to be an active-duty officer this summer," Morse says. "Cadet Yanagihara is the sort of young man I am comfortable giving the reins of our Air Force to. He is truly an exceptional leader, person, and airman."
In addition to his success in the ROTC program, Yanagihara excelled as a Mass Communication Studies major.
"As a member in the Air Force, it is inevitable that you're going to have to stand up and give briefings. Because of that, we practice them in ROTC," Yanagihara says. "A particular class I had that helped me was Intro to Media Creation with Professor (Diego) Bonilla, which helped me create an instructional poster for our cadets that will hopefully be used for years."
The El Dorado Hills-born cadet knew he wanted to join the Air Force at age 12, when he joined the Civil Air Patrol. At 16, he knew he wanted to be a pilot after attending local air shows.
Our Made at Sac State graduate is to be honored this June at the Air Force ROTC Commissioning Ceremony at Mather Field.

Employees of a corporation, which includes its officers, generally aren't personally liable when engaging in business transactions or otherwise acting as a representative of the business. Instead, the corporation is solely liable for the acts of its officers. However, exceptions do exist when a corporation's officers act outside the scope of their duties.
Role of Corporate Officers
Every state has the authority to create laws that govern corporations, including the extent of a corporation's liability for its officers. However, many states follow the Model Business Corporation Act, which includes provisions that specifically govern a corporation's liability. The MBCA allows a corporation to determine the extent of its officers' authority to represent the business. Provided the officer engages in all corporate transactions and activities in good faith, he isn't liable to the corporation in situations when his actions result in debts or losses. In these cases, the corporation is directly liable for any transaction the officer enters into on behalf of the business.
Read More: Corporation vs. Officer vs. Owner
Civil Liability
There are situations, however, when a corporate officer is personally responsible for his actions. For example, if the officer engages in activity that results in physical or financial damage to a third party, the corporation may be subject to a civil lawsuit that can potentially result in a money judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The corporation is generally liable for payments awarded in a civil lawsuit. However, if the basis of the lawsuit relates to an officer's negligence or fraud, for example, the officer can be personally liable for paying the judgment.
Criminal Liability
A corporation can be liable for the criminal activity of its officers if the criminal acts are closely related to their employment with the corporation. However, whether an officer was acting within the scope of his employment can be a debatable issue. Generally, there must always be a rational relationship between an officer's corporate duties and the crime, meaning the crime must occur while the officer is working. For example, if an officer of a corporation is involved in a car accident while under the influence of alcohol and driving a company car to accomplish a work-related task, the state can press charges against the officer as well as the corporation. In this case, whether or not the corporation is criminally liable depends entirely on whether the prosecution can sufficiently establish that the officer was acting within the scope of her employment.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act Violations
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is a federal law that requires public companies to implement a number of procedures to ensure that the financial statements they issue are accurate and reflect the true earnings of the business. The main purpose of this legislation is to protect shareholders and creditors from making investment decisions based on financial reports that are innaccurate and misleading. As an additional incentive for corporate officers to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, the federal government imposes liability directly on a corporation's chief financial officer and chief executive officer if they certify financial statements that are inaccurate.

All right Moms and Dads, time for a little honesty. Have you ever left your kids in the car? Ever? EVER? You never hear moms admit it in public, but a new survey is out that claims 70 percent of parents say they have no problem leaving their child alone in a parked car.
That's a pretty high number of parents 'fessing up to something that fills moms with righteous indignation. Soooooo ... ready to jump on the judgy mom bus and drive right over those awful, awful parents? The rest of the Internet is doing it, so why not you? Well, hold on, just a second, would you?
According to the survey of 1,000 parents and caregivers conducted by Public Opinion Strategies of Washington, 7 in 10 parents said they'd heard horror stories of things going wrong when kids were left in cars, but were willing to do it anyway.
But when asked IF they'd done it, only 23 percent of parents with kids under 3 said they had. The number dropped to 14 percent of parents when the age range changed from infants through kindergarten age.
There is no epidemic of parents leaving their babies in the car, OK? Even with the "shocking" number of parents who say they would, moms are still uneasy about saying they HAVE.
And let's talk about what it means to leave a child "unattended in a parked car."
The survey did not ask parents WHERE said car was parked. There were no parents saying, sure, I left the car parked out in front of the grocery store, in the hot sun, with the doors unlocked, and the keys in the ignition. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that is a bad, bad idea.
Is it possible some parents did that? Sure. It's just as possible that some parents buckled their toddler into the car in their driveway, then ran back into the house to grab their purse or the dry cleaning.
Are those parents bad parents?
Not unless you're a bad parent for leaving your baby alone in their room, in their crib, to walk into the kitchen to grab their bottle that you forgot on the counter. Hey, you don't have eyes on them for those moments, something awful could happen!
But you've done it, haven't you?
The issue of leaving kids alone in cars -- particularly in extreme temperatures -- is an important one. We need surveys and studies to raise awareness of what can go wrong -- from carjackings to a child accidentally putting a car in gear and getting in an accident to the horror of overheating.
BUT, and this is a big but, parenting issues are very rarely black and white. Leaving your kid in the car -- like anything -- has shades of gray. We do it when it's safe because sometimes it is, because you can't compare apples (grocery store) to oranges (your own yard).
A mom who lives in a safe neighborhood, who buckles her 1-year-old into the carseat of the family minivan, realizes she left her purse inside, leaves the windows open, doesn't put the key in the ignition, and runs back inside for five seconds? She's not a bad mom. She's not putting her baby in mortal danger.
Same goes for the mom who buckles her infant into the car at the grocery store only to have a friend come along -- you know, the mom who turns the AC on and stands outside said parked car for two whole minutes while baby snoozes? Technically she "left her kid unattended in the car," but is that really bad parenting?
Do you ever leave your kid alone in any room? Ever? Do you sleep? Pee? Shower?
It's not the mere fact of leaving your kids in the car that makes for bad parenting. Like everything else in life ... it's situational.
So how about instead of jumping to conclusions about what it is parents are doing wrong, we take a second and find out the details.
Yes, parents who leave their kids in a running vehicle while they go in to pay for gas are making a mistake. Yes, parents who forget the baby in the car are making a mistake. Yes, yes, yes, we all need to heed the warnings about the dangers of kids in cars.
But we also need to use common sense as parents and not just when it comes to cars!
Be honest ... have you EVER left your child alone in the car? EVER?

There are few things that have a bigger impact on a person than when you put them first. They feel appreciated, valued and taken care of.
If you want someone's help and support–be it a friend or a customer (because you DO need their support)–put them first.
I had a somewhat bad experience at Moore Warren Theater last Friday and sent the general manager an email about it. He called me and apologized several times for the situation and told me to email him the next time I'd like to see a movie there, and he would escort me and a friend in for free.
Think that one bad experience I had is going to keep me away? No way.
There is value in putting people first.
How will you put people first in your personal or business life this week?

On the evening of May 14, 1998, an estimated 76 million TV viewers tuned in to watch the final episode of Seinfeld. Think you're a Seinfeld trivia expert? Here are five things you probably didn't know about Seinfeld...
It Wasn't Supposed to Be a Show About Nothing
Seinfeld is often called a show about nothing, but it wasn't meant to be. It turns out that when Seinfeld was originally pitched, it was spun as a mockumentary-styled show about how a comic gets his material.In fact, the "nothing" bit wasn't associated with the show until the episode "The Pitch" ran in 1992, three years into the show's run. The idea that the show was about nothing caught on with audiences, and the nickname stuck.
Kramer and George Costanza's Names Were Based on Real People -- Who Had Very Different Reactions to the Use of Their Names Kramer's character went through a couple of name changes. The last name was taken from a neighbor of Larry David, but the network thought legal issues might arise. They had the name changed to Hoffman and then Kessler, but it was soon changed back to Kramer after the neighbor gave permission (and received a small fee). The person who George Costanza was named after wasn't so agreeable, however. The last name "Costanza" was taken from a friend of Jerry Seinfeld, and that friend sued for defamation, claiming the character was based on him. The lawsuit went nowhere.
More People and Organizations "Celebrate" the Show's Fake Holiday, Festivus, Each Year You're not going to find Festivus highlighted on your smartphone's calendar along with Christmas. However, you will find Festivus poles in random places (including the Illinois State Capitol, more than once), and at least one newspaper, the Tampa Bay Times, has created a yearly tradition of letting readers air their grievances through the paper. Everyone pretty much admits the holiday is fake, but with people doing something Festivus-related each year now, it could be considered a real pop-culture holiday.
Elaine Benes Almost Wasn't in the Show Elaine was not a character in the original concept of the show. In that one-off, late-night episode that became the show's pilot, another female character named Claire was supposed to be a part of the supporting cast. Claire was a waitress at the diner who would verbally spar with Jerry and George, but Seinfeld says they wanted a female character who would be more of a core character in the show. There are rumors that the actress who played Claire was let go after rewriting lines, but Seinfeld says that wasn't the case.
Even the Cast Has Kept the Finale's Reputation Alive Through Jokes The finale to the show wasn't well-received, but the cast has not been that concerned about its reception. In fact, they've kept the joke alive to an extent. During a sort-of-Seinfeld-reunion on the series finale of Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm in 2009, Jerry jokes about how they already screwed up one finale. Another example occurred on David Letterman's last show in 2015, when Julia Louis-Dreyfuss thanked Letterman for "allowing her to take part in another hugely disappointing series finale."

New SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages from Tasmania New SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages from Tasmania
New zircon U-Pb geochronological data was obtained via Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Micro Probe (SHRIMP) from six samples of granitic rocks: five from the Eastern Tasmania Terrane and one from the Western Tasmania Terrane.
The SHRIMP zircon U-Pb analytical program was conducted using high quality zircon separates, mounts, photographs and cathodoluminescence images. Data were obtained during 2012-2013, under a collaborative Geochronology agreement between Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) and Geoscience Australia (GA).
The primary objective of this study is to refine the regional chronology of mid-Paleozoic felsic plutonism in Tasmania. In some cases, the samples were chosen because of economic importance, or to help resolve regional problems.

What is an Escape room?
Each room has a different theme and you are given a mission to complete in 60 minutes by finding clues and solving puzzles. It's an exciting way to spend time with friends or on a date night.
Do I really get locked in a room?
Some rooms are locked and some aren't, depending on the mission of the room. In any area that is locked, there will be an emergency key accessible if you need to get out for any reason.
Do I need special skills or knowledge to play?
No. The most important key is communicating with your group during a game and be willing to "think outside the box." There is also a way to reach out for clues from the game master if you feel stuck.
How far in advance do I have to book?
Bookings can be made as close as 1 hour before a game starts. If it's closer than that, please stop by in person to book an available room. Since we operate by appointment, we may or may not be on site to accept walk in customers.
Can I have a refund?
All sales are final at time of booking.
Can I bring children?
We recommend ages 10+. The puzzles can be challenging even for adults. If you want to bring younger children, you must book the entire room and they need to have a ticket. Please monitor children at all times.
Do I have to have 8-10 people to play?
We recommend at least 6 players per room, but less can play. If you have less than 6 people, you can book in a room that already has players booked and has the number of available spots you need. if you book a game with no other players booked and have less than 6, we can alter the game somewhat by giving additional clues. Bare in mind these are very challenging games so the less people in a room, the more difficult it will be.
Can I bring extra people?
Yes... but only if you book the entire room. You can bring up to 2 extra people. You simply reserve the room for the max number of people and pay for the extra guests the day of the event at our location before the game starts with a credit card.
Will I be playing with people I don't know?
Reservations are made per ticket so others may be joining you if you do not book all available slots. This can be fun as you may be joined by others with different experience and perspective.
Can I put a hold on a room?
The only way to hold a room is to purchase the tickets. We recommend all in the party booking at the same time or one person buying all the tickets and collecting directly from their group.
How long will I be there?
Plan on 90 minutes. You must ARRIVE AT LEAST 15 MINUTES EARLY to your start time for a short debriefing. All games must start on time. Then you will likely want to take group pictures when you have finished.
Is it handicapped accessible?
Yes. There is an elevator and all doors and hallways are standard.
Is parking available?
There is a parking garage nearby as well as metered parking near the back of the building.

|"All of Cocoon was against us. With us dead, they were sure everything would go back—back to the way it was before."
|~ —Vanille
Oerba Dia Vanille is a playable character, the narrator and the deuteragonist in Final Fantasy XIII. Her full name stands for "Vanille of the Dia clan, from the village of Oerba."
She was voiced by Georgia van Cuylenburg.
|"My name is Oerba Dia Vanille. I'm a l'Cie from Gran Pulse. And to everyone on Cocoon... evil."
|~ —Vanille to Sazh
Despite her chronological age, Vanille has the physical appearance of a nineteen year-old. Her bright red hair is tied in curled pigtails. She has green eyes, and pierced ears adorned with silver hoop earrings. She wears a light pink halter top, an orange and yellow skirt, and beige boots. She wears a fur pelt around her waist, which she uses to attach carry her weapon; according to Dengeki PS3 magazine, it is made from a bear she defeated herself. She wears numerous bracelets, and three beaded necklaces, along with an assortment of beads attached to various parts of her clothing. Her outfit is inspired by the traditional clothes of the Namibian Himba women. Vanille's l'Cie brand is located on her upper left thigh, but mostly remains hidden beneath her skirt.
In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Vanille wears a headdress resembling a traditional Indian dupatta. The headdress is comprised of a semi-transparent red and gold veil that covers her hair and shoulders, gold ornaments that cover her forehead, and two long silver horn-like ornaments that resemble Bhunivelze's crest, which serves as the Order of Salvation's symbol, attached to the back and curving around the sides of her head.
In Final Fantasy XIII, Vanille has a childlike innocence. She is considerate, understanding, and at times, headstrong and stubborn. Vanille is empathetic, easily driven to tears, and cares deeply for others, Fang in particular. Despite facing many hardships, Vanille remains a caring and upbeat person as she tries to remain positive in situations others deem hopeless. She tries to cheer up her friends when they're down and see the bright side of things, but her happy-go-lucky persona is really a facade to hide her fear and guilt. Throughout her journey Vanille learns to face her past mistakes, stop running from her problems, and fight for her friends and what she believes in.
In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, due to living under the Order's protection and being subject to its teachings, Vanille has become a follower of Bhunivelze and seeks to help the group carry out his will. She is close friends with Lumina, who describes them as being "thick as thieves." Vanille has become solemn and rarely shows a trace of her upbeat personality, as she continues to feel guilty for the suffering her past actions had caused and hopes to use her new power to atone for it.

Fixed Dentures
Online Dental Education Library
Dr. Goldman and his staff strive to improve the overall health of our patients by focusing on preventing, diagnosing and treating conditions associated with your teeth and gums. Please use our dental library to learn more about dental problems and treatments available. If you have questions, please contact us.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are unique among dentists in that they all have completed an additional four years of hospital-based training alongside medical residents, and can administer all types of anesthesia. If you have a diseased or impacted tooth that needs to come out, implants to be placed, a suspicious lesion that needs a biopsy, or any other oral health condition requiring surgical diagnosis or treatment, we can help. Learn more about Oral Surgery.
Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Chronic loud snoring is a common symptom of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), which occurs when the upper airway is blocked to the point of causing significant airflow disruption, or even no airflow whatsoever for 10 seconds or more. This can be a dangerous situation. Learn more about Snoring & Sleep Apnea.
Tooth Extractions
There are times when it is in your best interest to have a tooth extracted (removed). This could be the case for a variety of reasons, including: damage or trauma to the tooth; an impacted wisdom tooth that may cause trouble for you later on; or overcrowding. Learn more about Tooth Extractions.
Implant Dentistry
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that deteriorates when even one tooth is lost.

Oral Diagnosis & Biopsies
When it comes to detecting certain oral or systemic (whole-body) diseases, a thorough dental exam may be your first line of defense. Learn more about Oral Diagnosis & Biopsies.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting, a minor in-office surgical procedure, is commonly used in dentistry to correct deficiencies in bone quality and to build support for teeth or dental implants. Learn more about Bone Grafting.
Sedation Dentistry & Anesthesia
We want you to have the most comfortable dental treatment experience possible. That's why we offer sedation, to help you relax, and/or anesthesia, to block your sensations of pain. Learn more about Sedation Dentistry.
Facial Trauma & Reconstructive Surgery
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are capable of treating the full scope of injuries to the structures of the face, mouth or jaws — including the teeth, the bones of the jaws and face, and the tissue of the skin and gums. We can also treat congenital defects such as cleft palate.
TMJ Disorders
If you have chronic pain in or around your jaw, or find the movement of your jaw is restricted, you may be suffering from a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Learn more about TMJ Disorders.
Treating Dental Emergencies
We can treat a variety of traumatic dental injuries, including teeth that have been moved or knocked out entirely. Please call our office for assistance, or click here to learn more about what to do in a dental emergency.
If you have lost an entire arch of teeth (top and/or bottom), or are soon to have your remaining teeth removed because they are too unhealthy to save, you may be able to replace them with fixed dentures supported by dental implants. Doctors and patients alike prefer fixed over removable dentures because they:
- Look, feel and function just like natural teeth
- Don't slip when you eat or talk
- Prevent bone loss in the jaw
- Last a lifetime
How It Works
Dental implants serve the same purpose as the roots of natural teeth: anchoring the replacement teeth to your jawbone. Just like natural tooth roots, they lie under the gum line and therefore are not visible in the mouth. Only the lifelike prosthetic teeth attached to them (the fixed denture) can be seen by you or anyone else. Because dental implants are made of titanium, a metal that has the unique ability to fuse to living bone, they are extremely stable and reliable. How many implants are needed? The number varies because each individual has unique conditions: Depending on the volume and density of the bone in your jaw, you will need as few as four implants or as many as six for your new teeth to function as well as a set of healthy, natural teeth.
What to Expect
The surgery to place dental implants that support a fixed denture is a simple, routine procedure carried out in an office setting, under local anesthesia in most cases. (If you need to have failing teeth removed, that will be done first, often the same day your implants are placed). After numbing the area, the appropriate number of implants will be placed in your jaw at precisely planned angles and positions to maximize support and avoid anatomical structures such as nerves and sinuses. Depending on how many implants are needed, the surgery can take anywhere from one to three hours. Most people who have dental implants placed find that any post-operative discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Some don't even need to take that.
What happens immediately after surgery will depend on what's best to promote healing in your individual situation. Sometimes a set of temporary teeth can be attached immediately, so that you can leave the office with new teeth. A few months later, your permanent replacement teeth with be installed. In other cases, the implants will be left to heal for several months before any teeth are attached. Sometimes that is the best way to insure that the implants remain undisturbed as they go through the process of fusing to your jawbone, which is known as osseointegration.
In either case, you will need to go easy on your newly placed implants during the crucial healing phase following surgery. You will be advised to eat a softer diet and avoid hard, chewy foods until the process of osseointegration is complete — about three months. While this may seem like a long time, keep in mind that people who wear removable dentures often avoid these foods permanently. The good news is that once your implants have fused to your jawbone and your new permanent teeth are attached, you will be able to eat anything you want. In fact, you are likely to forget you even have dental implants!

|Myer Elementary School principal gets slimed by 3rd graders Wednesday
Homework Blues said, in a comment to Pajama Day:
To add: Even more offensive are silly gimmicks the principal pledges to pull off if the kids read more. One local stunt had the principal lug her desk onto the roof where she spent the entire day.
Anonymous, lest you think I'm out to kill all fun too, what I hated about those ridiculous contests is each time the students read, they logged their reading logs onto a master graph. There was a goal and the principal promised to do something crazy if the kids met that goal.
No, I'm not out to ban fun. Hardly. What I didn't like about those condescending contents is that school keeps inventing new and ingenious ways to kill reading. Then, in lockstep motion, just as we predicted, the kids hate reading. Voila! Mission accomplished.
Now the school tears its hair out. The kids aren't reading! Oh, dear, we have NCLB, what shall we do?
I'll tell you what to do. Ban reading logs. Ban stupid assignments with dippy questions that cause children to groan in despair. Cultivate a love of reading. Then the principal won't have to die her hair green, climb a chimney or wade in the mud.
Reading is not a gimmick. It's a way of life. For some here, it's the only life!
Homework Blues, you said a mouthful. You're giving me flashbacks to the days when I used to watch the local news (haven't for many years.) Stupid principal tricks were a staple for "happy news" on the local broadcast.
Everything about this is wrong. As you point out, we're telling kids that reading is so unattractive that it has to be "motivated" by those in authority with all kinds of gimmicks and tricks.
Besides that, the assumption that it's fun for kids to see someone in authority humiliate themselves bothers me. Do we really want to promote this? Aren't we telling kids that of course they should enjoy making someone else uncomfortable? We're encouraging their worst instincts.
Why should we be surprised if kids don't respect the principal, after she's engaged in some ridiculous stunt? Kids know that they are at the mercy of the adults who control their lives, and it hardly builds their confidence to see the principal dye her hair a silly color, or spend a day on the roof, or whatever.
There's an element of narcissism in there too, as if kids' lives revolve around what the principal does. I don't see why the average kid would care what color the principal's hair is.
It's just so wrong-headed. Of course that shouldn't surprise me any more ...

I am not encouraging you to become one, But it is good to be surrounded by Chapalusi Pasand Rajas, During the 13+ years of experience in Information technology, to the current 4+ years of ride as a passionate photographer, People like to hear good things about them.
There is an emotional goodness feel, It is feeling of being high, cloud nine moment.
I have met lot of happy & successful people, all of them had people surrounded – who offered praise of others and other people praise about them. Most importantly they where not surrounded by negative people.
Prop Courtesy: Avis & Vaani 🙂
Example: a Manager always has the best solution offering employees around him, people who raised questions are kept at bay.
There is nothing wrong being a Chapalusi Pasand Raja – What keeps you going is the happiness moment to achieve greater heights. Remember you have your choices whether to take things to your heart, choices are still there.
When I said happy & successful people, it doesn't mean they are successful, for me I felt they are successful, more or less a relative term. As for happiness, both of us would agree we were happy at the moment.
So who would care about the negative people – the answer is themselves, first is the acceptance that they is an issue, then reaching out for help and understand what correction that needs to be taken care.
Most happy and successful people never offer advise, the reason is simple, they did and they learnt the lesson the hard way. A person who needs help will reach out to the wise, if they needed advise. The wise and happy successful people offers opinion, end of the day the person is left with his own choices.
Surround with people
- who are highly productive
- who appreciates and do appreciate their good doings
above all, Mind your own business – have an aim. And least of all, don't be surrounded by negative thoughts, things & people.
