Before and after school and holiday care are an extension of the provision offered by Orchard to provide parents with wrap around care between the hours of eight and six for forty-eight weeks of the year. The facility is particularly useful for working parents though quite a number of children choose to attend because "it's fun".
We offer breakfast before school and a hot cooked tea in the evening when children take the opportunity to sit with friends and family. Our staff are experienced and part of our normal school team so activities are planned for individual interests and take account of seasonal and topical focus both indoors and outdoors as well as off site.
Holiday club often coincides with courses run by the school i.e. cricket, rugby etc which allows children to access an extended day if necessary.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Onondaga County Legislature today unanimously – and enthusiastically — approved a 25-year payment in lieu of taxes for the proposed Township 5 development in Camillus. Legislators predicted the deal also will be embraced by a school district and a development agency that have yet to vote.
"I've never seen an economic development project that had such unanimous support,'' said veteran Legislator Kathleen Rapp, R-Salina, who chairs the economic development committee.
Under the PILOT deal, developer Cameron Group LLC would make $41 million in PILOT payments over 25 years, about the same as what it would pay in property taxes. But roughly $9 million of the PILOT money would be used to pay for the estimated $6 million cost (plus interest charges over 25 years) to make improvements to four nearby intersections, build an access road and install a sewage pumping station.
That would leave local taxing jurisdictions – the county, the town of Camillus, and the West Genesee School District – with approximately $32 million in PILOT payments. Camillus has approved the PILOT, and the school district is expected to approve when it votes April 10. The Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency also must vote on the deal.
Township 5, a retail, office and apartment development off Hinsdale Road, will include Upstate New York's first Costco Wholesale store. Other likely tenants include Frank Theatres' CineBowl, and Buffalo Wild Wings, Olive Garden, Mesa Grande Taqueria, Longhorn Steakhouse and Papaya Asian Kitchen & Bar restaurants. The development will include 96 apartments.

Ms. Thomas, 65 years young, speeds along with her cane, eager to show us the new makeup she got for our photoshoot. She has a smile that lights up a room, but she doesn't often share it because a traumatic attack years ago broke several of her front teeth. Nonetheless, she radiates energy and positivity as she tells us about the adventures and travails of her life, from a youth as a teen model to emersion in the street life of addiction,violence, and eventual prison time. More recently, from grieving the loss of her beloved husband and struggling with depression and homelessness to finding new hope, life, and adventures with yoga and even sky diving.
Ms. Thomas joined 211 LA's Care Coordination program after learning about the legal relief offered by Proposition 47, a voter initiative that reduced certain non-violent felonies such as drug possession and some theft crimes to misdemeanors, and allows people to retroactively change their record. For many, this can open so many new doors that were closed to them – housing, employment, benefits, child custody, and more. 211 LA is the hub for helping people find and walk through these doors.
As soon as Ms. Thomas got her letter from LA County in the mail, she called 211 to get started, and she hasn't stopped pursuing her goals since. When she first called 211, Ms. Thomas was living primarily in her car, having lost her housing after her husband's death when she couldn't afford the rent. She sometimes stayed with her elderly mother, but their relationship was volatile and made for an unstable and unhealthy environment. She'd lost some of her belongings, including her ID, when someone broke into her car. She'd been diagnosed with both a physical disability and mild mental health disability, but couldn't get her handicap placard or other assistance without her ID.
Many people call 211 call because they see one urgent issue they need help with, or they know they need help but don't know where to start. Ms. Thomas called with a list of goals she was determined to achieve: get her ID and handicap placard, find housing, and find senior recreational activities to help with her mobility. As she and the Care Coordinator talked, however, she revealed that she had recently lost her husband, and was severely depressed and dealing with other mental health concerns.
Her Care Coordinator immediately started making arrangements and appointments: first things first – get her to DMV to get her an ID. Find a doctor and make an appointment for her disability paperwork. Get her into short-term stable housing while they applied for low income senior housing spots with long wait lists. Sign her up for bereavement counseling and yoga classes.
Some things took a lot of back and forth and follow up to address. Ms. Thomas was without dental care because Medi-Cal didn't cover it and her income was considered too high for some programs. 211's Care Coordinator found her a senior dental program with USC that has a sliding fee scale.
Finding long term stable housing was a challenge – the Care Coordinator called every low-income senior housing listed on the LA County housing resource center. There are a lot of requirements you have to meet to qualify for this housing, including some maximum income thresholds. Even though Ms. Thomas could not afford to pay full market rate for housing based on her income, the benefits she received from Social Security plus survivor benefits from her husband disqualified her from some programs. As of January she has been on 2 different wait lists for more than 4 months, with more than 30 people ahead of her. Both she and her Care Coordinator are hopeful that one new low-income senior housing facility, which has 1 open unit remaining, will approve her application very soon.
Ms. Thomas has now completed everything on her list except for the housing, and her Care Coordinator will keep working with her on that until she is settled into a hopefully permanent place of her own. She has made huge gains with her depression and mobility, and reconnected with her daughter and grandson now that she is in stable housing nearby them. She is anxiously awaiting her new permanent housing so she can throw a housewarming party for the first time, and invite her family, friends, and Care Coordinator to celebrate her life transition.
Like so many other people who have been through the system and come out to face the stigma and barriers, Ms. Thomas needed guidance, a second chance, and compassionate support and motivation to help her achieve her goals. She says she is so thankful to 211 LA and her Care Coordinator for being there to help her achieve them.

Hi,

I am on the way to creating an application which would create atoms dynamically.

These atoms are created because I have user registering into my system and each user has set of 10 mnesia tables to be created. Since atoms has a limitation I am afraid that if 100K users register into my system I may run of atoms for creating tables for more users.

Creating an ETS table with name will give me table identifier with integer. Does a similar thing exists for mnesia too?

How can I organize such a system?

Thanks,

Marutha

About Me
Early escapades into the world of writing (such as homemade newspapers produced on a red clickety-clack typewriter) subsequently encountered a brief interruption whilst I went off on a fashion / photography / printed textiles tangent throughout my academic years.
Having graduated with a degree in MDes Printed Textiles for Fashion from the University of Brighton, I once again found myself drawn to pen and paper; or as is now mostly the case: a glowing screen and a plastic keyboard. It was thus that my adventure into the realm of blogging, content writing and beyond began.
It's an addictive thing this writing malarkey, and there are endless topics that I'd like to broach. But there is one subject in particular that steadfastly seems to recur: food.
Therefore, try as I might, this blog (and my writing in general) will more often than not carry with it a food-based undercurrent, from cooking to eating, researching to critiquing, and all that's in between…
Freelance Copy & Content Writer
As time has passed I have happily found myself called upon to work in the world of copy and content writing, with a healthy amount of design work thrown in for good measure. Please see my Freelance Writing and Copywriting pages for more information on past jobs and clients.

I've been pretty bad about posting lately, so here comes another wave of photos, this time from the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California. I walked in with nothing but the 5D and, more importantly, the 50/1.8. The thrifty fifty saved the day in those dark aquariums. The only problem is that it makes me want the 50/1.4 even more. Hmm. Anyway, enjoy!

You are what you schlep
I've recently been inspired by Jason Travis's Persona series that was commissioned by The Atlantan. The basic concept is that "you are what you schlep." Pretty simple, but amazingly insightful. On top of that, Jason takes some pretty cool portraits. As I currently only have myself to profile (and I don't feel like taking a self-portrait tonight), I decided to go more in the direction of The Items We Carry flickr group. What I find particularly interesting about these photos is that, while they answer many questions about a person, they seem to inspire even more curiosity. Why should a person suddenly seem much more interesting simply because they've emptied their pockets for the world to see? The human nature of curiosity is a powerful thing.

In addition, the 'BACCT' package evaluates user-specified decision rules by computing the type-I error/power, or probability of correct go/no-go decision at interim look. The evaluation can be presented numerically or graphically. Users need to have 'JAGS' 4.0.0 or newer installed due to a compatibility issue with 'rjags' package. Currently, the package implements the BAC method for binary outcome only. Support for continuous and survival endpoints will be added in future releases. We would like to thank AbbVie's Statistical Innovation group and Clinical Statistics group for their support in developing the 'BACCT' package.

Hey friends!
First post so go easy on me. This is the first year for me as a beekeeper. I have two langstroth hives. I use 8 frame mediums exclusively. (I figured it would be easier to not have differing equipment) Since starting I have the pierce black plastic frames in my bottom box, second box has regular frames with bought wired foundation.
here is my problem:
my third box has frames with a groove in the top and popsicle sticks glued in the groves. The bees love it, however they are building large comb and putting DRONES in them.
What should I do? Will the bees keep making drones or will they make only as much as they need? Should I kill off the drone cells?
Thanks guys and gals!
As a side note with 8 frame mediums how many boxes would be my brood chamber. THANKS!

A Big Deal
At least two bike-sharing startups suffered a run on deposits this past week, stoking fears that the bike-sharing bubble in China is going to burst. A bike-sharing startup called Coolqi announced that it was firing its founder and CEO due to incompetence. According to news reports, the cash-strapped company gave all its employees the option to leave. As panic over the company's potential failure spread, hundreds of users stood in long lines outside Coolqi's Beijing office to demand their deposit back.
There are at least two dozen bike-sharing companies in China, making it one of the hottest startup genres. Many are struggling during what various media outlets described as a " shakedown period" in the industry. The largest players in the market include Mobike, ofo, and Hellobike (a GGV portfolio company).
A Number
8.5% – Percentage of seven-year-olds in China who shop online. A recent survey found that Chinese children are getting online as early as three years old. By the time they are seven, 10% use QQ and 15% use WeChat regularly. By the time they are twelve, 88% use QQ and 70% use WeChat.
A Picture
This is the first time that WeChat has changed its landing page since the app was launched six years ago. "It is our special present to Fengyun-4," the WeChat team explained in a WeChat post. Going forward, Tencent says it will engage in more collaborations with China's Meteorological Administration to help inform users of real-time weather changes and atmosphere-related news.
A Quote
新乐视 Xīn Lè Shì (New LeEco)
The troubled Chinese tech company LeEco, which has been suffering a cash crunch for nearly a year, got a "new" name this week by literally adding the character for "new" before its name.
Various media outlets commented that the name change is part of the company's attempt to shed the influence of its founder and former chairman, Jia Yueting (who goes by "YT" in English). LeEco, which started as a online video company, tried to expand into a wide range of fields: electric cars, smartphones, TVs, film-making, and sports, among others. It accumulated huge debt over the past year, and was bailed out this January for $2.3 billion by the real estate magnate Sun Hongbin, who now leads the company. It remains to be seen how New LeEco will be different from the old one.

The Warriors may have competition for the services of center Kevon Looney from their rivals in Houston once free agency begins this weekend.
Looney, who is an unrestricted free agent, is reportedly among the centers the Rockets are looking to pursue as they may be facing a massive overhaul that could include losing Clint Capela.
ESPN is reporting Houston is focused on trying to add 76ers free agent Jimmy Butler to its tandem of James Harden and Chris Paul, which could cost the Rockets at least two of three mainstays in Capela, guard Eric Gordon and forward P.J. Tucker.
The cap-strapped Rockets are considering Looney in free agency as well as more expensive centers such as the Bucks' Robin Lopez and the Knicks' DeAndre Jordan, according to The Athletic's Sam Amick. Looney and those centers, however, could probably only expect an offer of the taxpayer mid-level exception of $5.7 million.
Looney, though, could get at least that much from the Warriors, who hold his Bird Rights and could pay him however much they're comfortable spending in terms of the luxury tax. Still, some experts expect Looney to receive offers around $5-6 million per season.
You won't find any Warriors player, coach or executive who wouldn't love to have the 23-year-old Looney back next season. Looney proved his worth this season as Golden State's most dependable center and, should DeMarcus Cousins leave via free agency, the four-year vet from UCLA becomes all the more valuable. His gritty defense and solid offensive contributions with picks and screen-and-rolls were integral parts of the Warriors' path to a fifth straight NBA Finals.
One of the lasting images of this past season was Looney wincing in pain and gutting through it while playing in the NBA Finals with a first costal cartilage fracture. The injury isn't expected to limit him at all once training camp begins.

Velodyne has always meant quality, and during their early years, it meant big bucks too. The technology for building high power and deep thud for a few hundred $$$ was just not available.
Well, now it's available.
For this review, we chose one of each of three new lines by Chrysalis (designed and manufactured by Velodyne for various markets).
These are the Photon-8, Starfire-10, and BassMatrix-12.
Design: Chrysalis Subwoofers
The number in the various model names is obviously the size of the driver, but what are the other differences?
Well, the littlest one (Photon) has the biggest amplifier for one thing. And, the biggest price. Why? Because it takes heavy duty engineering, heavy duty drivers, and powerful amplifiers to get big bass out of a little box. And when you are talking about a box this small, it is really tough. Ergo, more bucks.
Below is a photo of the Photon-8 (it is also the one on the far left in the photo at the beginning of this review).
It has a sealed enclosure and a 1,000 watt RMS amplifier. The driver is front-firing. It will fit just about anywhere. MSRP - $999.
The Photon-8 amplifier panel is shown below. It has all the controls we expect from a flexible sub, including auto on/off, the ability to bypass the crossover (every modern SSP and receiver has crossovers built-in for the subwoofer), and phase adjustment.
Next up on the list is the Starfire-10. The driver is forward firing, and there is a port on the bottom. Amplifier power is 150 watts RMS. MSRP - $399. Bought at a discounted price, you will be driving home with a big smile on your face and some green still left in your wallet.
Notice that there is no on/off switch. The sub is meant to be used as auto on/off. It turns on when it senses a signal. Switching amplifiers are the reason. They draw almost zero power when they are not playing any music. Other than that, just a few basic features. Spring clips for speaker-level in/out instead of binding posts.
And hither comes the BassMatrix 12. It is slot loaded, which means it has a horizontal slot along the front bottom. The amplifier is 200 watts RMS. MSRP is $599.
Here is the BassMatrix rear panel. It has a power on/off toggle and an Auto sensing switch. These days, the amplifiers in subwoofers are so efficient (Class D - Switching), I just leave all my subwoofers in the Auto-On mode. When I watch a movie or play some music, they power on by themselves, and when I finish, they turn off after a couple of minutes. It's a great feature.
The crossover is different on each of these models, so you will need to pay close attention when setting up the subwoofer output on your SSP or receiver. In general, I like to have my SSP control the crossover, so if the crossover cannot be totally defeated on the subwoofer, you simply turn it to the highest setting, such as 200 Hz, and set the crossover frequency that you actually want to have, e.g., 80 Hz, in the SSP. Remember to always keep the volume control down when you are making changes to any switches. Turn it off before plugging in or unplugging cables.
The BassMatrix has a remote control that lets you select among several preset bass EQs, such as Rock, Jazz, and Games. This gives you extra bass punch just in the right places when you are listening to different types of music.

It's been 15 years since Royal Akarana Yacht Club raced from Auckland to Gisborne, and today, 56 sailors set off on what is definitely going to be an entertaining race.
The sailors are scattered between seven boats, and although the fleet size is small, all 56 personalities on board are massive.
The race got underway on schedule at 0900 hours in a light south westerly breeze. Ran Tan II choose to nail the port end of the line, but V5 won the start at the boat end. The only fifties in the race then came together like magnets, keeping a very close eye on each other.
Anarchy was the first to make the biggest tactical call. Andrew Reid and his crew opted to exit Auckland via the Rangitoto Channel whilst the rest of the fleet stuck with the tide and chose to leave the volcanic island to port.
But Ran Tan II saw what Anarchy was doing and made a quick change to alter course. Crew member on board, Ross Masters, was heard saying "Anarchy have got this!"
RAYC Vice Commodore Sally Garrett, crew on the 10.5 Custom Sport Truxton said that Anarchy was brave choosing to split from the fleet early.
"We are sticking to our guns here, staying closer to the land and with the tide," said Garrett.
The 300 nautical mile race will take the fleet from Orakei in Auckland, leaving the White Island to port then onto Gisborne finishing within close distance of the Gisborne Yacht Club.
The first boats are expected to finish, likely to be the 52'er V5 and the Elliott 50 Ran Tan II, in the early hours of Friday morning the 27th November. There will be a strong fight between Lawless, Anarchy, Truxton and Rikki with Sun Fast 3600 Racing set to keep everyone on their toes.
The sailors will be welcomed into Eastland Port, assigned to their berths and secured thanks to Ropes, Chains and Anchors, and then handed a few cold beverages thanks to Sunshine Brewery.
Those at home can follow the race via the PredictWind Tracker embedded on the official race page – www.rayc.co.nz/gisborne and via the RAYC Facebook Page www.facebook.com/raycnz

Has Anyone Tried $999 price tag on Apple App Store ?
I've been researching on this recently. App Store allows you to set your iOS app's price tag to anything between $0.99 to $999 through ITC ( iTunes Connect Portal). Recently I tried this premium $999 just to verify if Apple really let anyone sell their apps at any price tier available in ITC options. However when I set $999 everything look fine. Usually it takes a while to update price in App Store. BUT when I set $999 tier, my app completely disappeared from App Store! WTF! But ITC didn't show any errors, warnings... nothing! Simply my app is gone. When I put it back to the old price tier ($ 2.99) App appeared in App Store again... Strange!
So I kept trying different high price tiers such as $499 etc. Still I faced the same issue. Then I gradually increased price from a low tier until I could see how much I can increase my app's price in App Store without getting it disappeared.
What I found out was, the max limit you can go is $299! You can directly set $0.99 to $299 without any issue. However if you try anything higher your app will get disappeared from App Store. This is very strange and I have no idea why. There are apps priced at $999 at the moment.
I don't know Apple's logic behind this. They haven't mentioned anywhere that there are limits in price tiers. As far as I can see they secretly control this. Or is it just me ? I've never contacted apple about this.

I recently formatted and installed my iMac. I am running 10.6.5. Prior to this format, I had the default Apache web server up and running with several virtual hosts, and everything ran beautifully. After formatting, I set everything back up again, and now Apache is acting funny. Here is a description of what I have going on.
My default root directory for the Apache Web server is pointed to an external hard drive. In my httpd.conf, here is what I have:
DocumentRoot "/Storage/Sites"
Then a few lines beneath that:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
And then beneath that:
<Directory "/Storage/Sites">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
At the end of this file, I have commented out the user dir include conf file:
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
And uncommented the virtual hosts conf file:
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Moving on, I have the following entry in my vhosts file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Storage/Sites/mysite"
ServerName mysite.dev
I also have a host record in my /etc/hosts file that points mysite.dev to 127.0.0.1 (I also tried using my router IP, 192.168.1.2).
The problem I am coming across is, despite having PHP files in /Storage/Sites/mysite, the server is still looking at /Storage/Sites. I know this because in the DocumentRoot contains a php file with phpinfo() (whereas the index.php file in mysite has different code).
I have tried setting up other virtual hosts, but they are still doing the same thing. Also, "NameVirtualHost *:80" is in my vhosts file. I saw as a solution on another thread here. Doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any ideas on this? Let me know if this is not enough information.

We – the collective noun in this case being a vaguely accusatory finger pointed at citizens of the "western world" – are really very bad at talking about mental health issues. We either come up with slang terms that succumb rapidly to the euphemism treadmill or we misuse clinical terminology that is itself constantly changing in meaning.
What do we mean when we say we are depressed? Are we talking about an occasional bout of sadness, malaise, or lack of motivation? Something deeper and more lingering? Or the clinical view that some part of our brain's activity is on the less active side of the bell curve?
And what about anxiety? Anxiety is so complex and interwoven into other mental health issues that I am almost certain nobody experiences it the same or has quite the same triggers.
How many people equate the word schizophrenia with multiple personality disorder? How many people know that this got renamed to "dissociative identity disorder"? How many people are aware of the theory of serotonin in creating a "spectrum" of disorders that have the Autism Spectrum Disorders (autism, ADHD, OCD, Depression, Aspergers and so forth) on the one end and Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (dissociative identity disorder, borderline personality disorder, psychosis, etc) on the other? Or the fact that quite a few prominent researchers disagree with the link between the two groups of issues?
Mental health issues are huge, complex, difficult to understand and constantly changing. Is it any wonder we're bad at talking about it?
Despite all of this, precision isn't always necessary when talking about mental health issues. A huge amount of what needs to be said or understood is simply that there is a problem, the individual involved is aware of it and that they either do or do not need help.
That said, we do need to talk about these issues, and I think abandoning the pretense of precision for a more effective metaphorical approach can and does help in the majority of circumstances. TO this end, I have created the term "mind spiders". (Though this rapidly got concatenated to Mindspiders, capitalised by users to indicate that it is a proper noun…and somehow made all the more terrifying in the process.) Other insects – bees seem like a good choice to some folks – seem to work just as well. (Personally I like spiders, but I that only adds to the meta of the term Mindspiders and ohlookarabbithole…)
The mental image of a person's head being filled with spiders does a marvelous job of conveying what many mental health issues feel like, as well as give us many lovely ways to expand upon the terminology to explain what is going on without requiring precision.
If I say "the Mindspiders are unusually active today" you get my drift without a lot of further discussion required. I'm having a bad day due to an unspecified mental health issue. If I say "sorry, I'm taking a few minutes out to placate the Mindspiders" you can fairly easily grok that I'm doing something necessary to achieve a more positive state of mental health.
This is an effective form of communication, even if it does inevitably lend itself to some silliness. In practice, I've found that it enabled communication about mental health issues, especially amongst individuals who still have a number of social stigmas and taboos about mental health to work through.
It is important to think not just about what we are attempting to communicate, but how we choose to do it. We are human. We aren't Vulcans or robots. Sometimes indirection and metaphor make difficult topics easier.
So good luck out there, and don't let the Mindspiders bite. Or, if they do, bite the little buggers right back.

This command is deprecated, please consider using the irin command instead.
Wait until a new infrared command is received.
This command is used to wait for an infraout signal from a separate PICAXE chip. It can also be used with an infrared signal from the infrared TV style transmitter (i.e. can replace infrain). All processing stops until the new command is received. The value of the command received is placed in the predefined variable 'infra'. This will be a number between 0 and 127. See the infraout command description for more details about the values that will be received from the TVR010 remote control.
On the PICAXE-08M/14M/20M 'infra' is another name for 'b13' - it is the same variable. The infra-red input is fixed to a single input - see the PICAXE pinout diagrams. On M2 parts the compiler outputs an irin command using b13. After using this command you may have to perform a hard reset to download a new program to the microcontroller.
Effect of Increased Clock Speed:
This command will only function at 4MHz. Use a setfreq m4 command before this command if using 8MHz speed.
Wait for an IR button push then set or clear an output depending on the button pushed

Paul Sabu was born in 1960: his father was the Indian born film star Sabu Dastagir, often known just as "Sabu," who was famous for such roles as playing Mowgli in the 1942 production of "Jungle Book." Great things were expected of his son, but while the senior Sabu's interests lay in acting, young Paul's interests were more musical. As such, he started singing, playing guitar, and producing both his own music and other peoples.
The Sabu that came to Heavy Metal Records in the mid 1980s was a four piece band, led by and named for Paul Sabu on Lead Vocals and Guitar, and completed by Rick Bozzo on Bass, Charles J. Esposito on Drums and Dan Ellis on Keyboards. They released the single "Angeline" through the sister label FM-Revolver before releasing "Heartbreak" through Heavy Metal America in 1985. This was the first album Paul produced and engineered himself, and would be the start of an illustrious production career that would see him work with such artists as David Bowie and Alice Cooper.

Flashing headlights, even to warn of speed traps, is likely protected speech, federal judge says
A federal judge in Missouri has granted a preliminary injunction to prevent a Missouri town from prosecuting drivers for flashing their headlights.
U.S. District Judge Henry Autrey said the plaintiff, Michael Elli, would likely prevail in his free speech claim against the town of Ellisville, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
"Even assuming, arguendo, that plaintiff or another driver is communicating a message that one should slow down because a speed trap is ahead and discovery or apprehension is impending, that conduct is not illegal," Autrey wrote. The ordinance used to prosecute Elli "was clearly inapplicable to the expressive conduct at issue."
The ACLU of Missouri sued on behalf of Elli. The group's legal director, Tony Rothert, tells the Post-Dispatch that the decision is the first by a federal judge to address the issue. He hopes that other jurisdictions "take note of the court's order," he says. "And if we hear about it happening after today, we will contact them, and ask them to stop."
Elli was given a citation for flashing his lights after observing a speed trap in November 2012, according to Autrey's opinion (PDF). He was accused of violating an Ellisville ordinance that restricted flashing signals to specified vehicles such as school buses. A municipal judge advised Elli that the standard punishment for the violation was $1,000. When Elli said he planned to plead not guilty, the opinion says, the municipal judge "became agitated and asked plaintiff if he had ever heard of 'obstruction of justice.' "
The charge was later dismissed. The town says it has since discontinued its practice of ticketing under the ordinance. The state of Missouri, however, has a statute that is nearly identical, Autrey said. The town's policy fails to ensure that Elli can exercise his First Amendment rights of free speech, Autrey said, because of the possibility that other statutes—such as the state statute—will be used to quash Elli's message.

Market Research Services – How They Make a Difference?
Market research has become an integral part of all businesses. We are a part of market research in our day-to-day lives. For example, when you buy a pastry from a local shop and the shopkeeper asks you for your comments on the pastry, by answering you are engaging in a small-scale market research. You may not realize it but when you look at any kind of statistics, you are actually looking at the by-product of a market research carried out by some market research services.
Market research services have evolved as an industry in the past few decades and huge companies have been established to carry out the research work. It is a huge industry with a lot of potential and room for making a huge difference to the world at large.
Voice Consumer Opinions
The primary function of a market research service is to gather popular consumer opinions about a product or a service and provide it to businesses interested in buying the data. A market research service acts as a bridge between the producers and the buyers. It is only; by knowing what the customers want can a business function correctly.
Generates Informative and Quality Data
Meaningless fluff in the name of data does not intrigue businesses as they usually avoid wasting their time in sieving the data to form the final numbers.It is the responsibility of a market research service to provide informative and quality data before the deadlines. If you work by the clock and believe in delivering good work, then this is your cue.
Gives Life to an Idea
One may have an idea, but has it reached to the masses yet? If you think your product or service can change the face of the industry or the world, then you must give it a chance. The market research industry needs innovative people who can bring a fresher perspective to the world.
Kills the Competition
Even with so much competition in any industry, it is difficult to find a service that offers quality. Your way of working and handling business might be something that a business is looking for. You are looking at lasting relationships with big clients.
Brings about Change
Market research services have the power to bring about change in the business and social environment globally. It can bring about a change that is positive and helpful to mankind. Moreover, it can prevent the factors that contribute negatively to the social environment.
Market research services not only help the organizations to develop better products and services but also, in turn, help people to enjoy a better life with access to better products and services. Market research services have helped improved the quality of life of people by way of collecting information from people at large.

Cardio Protective Nutrition for a Healthy Heart
"Prevent cardiovascular disease, understand the causes, empower yourself to take action"
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the industrialized world. Current theories on the etiology of CVD formation include the endotoxin theory of damage to the tunica, the inflammation and oxidation of cholesterol theory and the hydroxyapatite theory of calcium formation. This literature review explores six leading phytonutrients and minerals, Bear garlic (Allium ursinum), Garlic (Allium Sativum), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), Delta Tocotrienol, and Vitamin D3 and Coral Calcium, shown effective against the causes of atherosclerosis. Along with a healthy diet, exercise and stress management we found that phytonutrients from plants and minerals are effective in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.

To register for the show, please click the button below!
Q: When do the gates open for show cars to enter?
A: The gates will open at 7:00am for vehicles entered in the show and will close promptly at 10:00am
Q: Will there be day-of-show registration?
A: Unfortunately, no. The show usually sells out by the end of March, so please register early!
Q: How much does it cost to register?
A: Registration is $45 per vehicle.
Q: Is there any charge for spectators?
A: No. The show has always been FREE to the public!
Q: Do all of the cars have to stay in place until 3:00?
A: Yes. This is both for the safety of the general public and for the vehicle entered. We also strongly discourage people from revving their engines during the show.
Q: Will the show vehicles be allowed to put up any pop-up tents, canopies, or umbrellas?
A: Unfortunatey, no they may not. This is due to safety and liability issues that may arise. There have been many instances in the past where one of these items have toppled and caused damage to a display vehicle. We do, however, allow hand-held umbrellas. If the weather is sunny and hot, we advise anyone attending to plan accordingly.
Q: Can I bring my dog to the show?
A: While we love our four-legged friends, Knott's has a strict policy regarding pets on the premises, however they do allow service animals. Please be mindful of the weather on the day of the show.
Q: Can we film the show using a drone?
A: Unfortunately, no. Knott's has a very strict policy regarding the use of drones on their property. You can take as many pictures and video as you like with your traditional cameras.
Q: Will I be able to park together with my car club, if we're in the same class?
A: If you wish to park with your friends or car club, we recommend that you get in line as a group and enter the show together. There are no reserved spaces.
Q: Can I tow my car into the show?
A: No. We will not have any additional space available to accomodate a tow vehicle.
Q: How soon can registered show vehicles get in line?
A: Many of our volunteers arrive before dawn on show day and have noticed cars beginning to line up. We recommend arriving as early as you are able to, in order to enter and be parked in your class quickly.
Q: If I have a question regarding my entry, prior to the day of the show, who would I contact?
A: Our contact information is located in the box to the left, just underneath the map. You can call us or send us an email. We will do our best to respond to you as quickly as possible.
Q: We plan on bringing the family and staying near the park. Is there a hotel discount available?
A: Yes. There is a discount code available on our website for the Knott's Berry Farm Resort Hotel.
Q: I have a really cool display sign that I want to show next to my car. Will I be able to?
A: While we think these signs are cool, we do not allow any display signs, mirrors, carpeting, or "For Sale" signs in the show area. This is to protect your vehicle from damage and prevent any accidents with spectators.
Q: I heard that there have been some changes to the show lot. What changes have been made?
A: The BIGGEST change has been the expansion currently under construction at Knott's Soak City water park. Due to this expansion, we have lost some of the parking that we had near the water park. To accomodate the loss of spaces, Knott's has acquired additional space near the former Stanton entrance. Also, some improvements have been made to the existing parking lot. All of the spaces have been restriped and repainted. These improvements will help us with parking during the show.
Q: Did the Stanton entrance close? Where will we enter the show now?
A: As part of the realignment of the parking lot, the gate used to enter the show (the Stanton entrance), has been permanently removed. The new entrance to the show lot for registered entries will be the Northbound Beach Boulevard entrance. The best way to line up for this entrance is the same way everyone currently lines up: along La Palma Ave, to Stanton Ave, south to Crescent Ave (turning right), then north along Beach Blvd. The entrance is just past the bus stop near Independence Hall.
Q: With the changes to the parking lot, have the exits changed?
A: No, the exits from the parking lot have NOT changed. The large portion of the lot will still exit along La Palma Ave. The smaller portion of the lot will continue to exit via Stanton.

Hello. I bought an iphone 8 in a Best Buy store and it was sell like an universal unlocked phone (I paid full price, without carrior) to use here in Brazil with my carrior. However, when I inserts the SIM of the Brazilian operator, it appears that the phone is locked. I called Apple and they told me that my phone is locked by T Mobile and I should ask you to unlock. So, I would like to know how to unlock this device to use here in Brazil. I don't have any T mobile Sim card.
Message was edited by: tmo_amanda to remove personal information
Hey, francinebisibaroni!
Only if a T-Mobile SIM was inserted into the phone prior to using your SIM in Brazil, it would be locked to our network. Either way, you still need your phone unlocked. Please take a look at this thread: I bought an Iphone 7 on Best Buy with Flex Policy, as you'll find the information in it useful.

Half-and-half cannot be watered down to make milk. In a dairy context, "half-and-half" usually means an equal-parts mixture of whole milk and cream, usually used as a lower-fat alternative to cream. Cream is the high butter-fat component of milk that naturally separates from whole milk and floats on top.
If cream is removed from whole milk, the remaining milk is referred to as "skimmed" milk. While cream, whole milk and skimmed milk contain decreasing amounts of fat, adding water doesn't change one product to another, since the amount of protein and carbohydrates present get diluted as well. Adding water to cream just makes watered-down cream, and adding water to half-and-half just makes watered-down half-and-half.

If you are interested in one of our wonderful rescue German Shepherd Dogs, please review the information provided on our Adopt page and complete an Application.
Click on a thumbnail to see more information about a dog.
Roman is a sweet senior boy that was found as an abandoned dog. He was rescued from Chicago Animal Control on Christmas Day and is looking for a forever home!
Roman is a very affectionate boy. He will nudge you for pets and loves his back scratched. He is good on leash, rides nicely in the car, and is crate trained.
Roman is selective with other dogs. He is ok with calm, submissive dogs but wouldn't mind a home where he was the only dog to be spoiled. He was great meeting a cat used to large dogs.

Want to connect with the best of academicians in India? Wish to know what is happening in their labs? Log in to Techtud, a new platform that acts as a social network linking students and teachers from across the country.
Just as you would create your profiles on popular social networks, Techtud enables students and teachers to do the same.
"If a student is looking for a potential job opportunity or the chance to work with an eminent professor, then they can access the details on the platform," Pritam Prasun, co-founder and CEO of Techtud, told IANS on Monday.
At the moment, the site connects mainly engineering students but it will soon extend to other branches as well, said Prasun, an IIT-Kharagpur alumnus.
Faculty from IITs and other prestigious institutes are part of the initiative to maximise access to opportunities for students via the internet.
Most importantly, the online portal seeks to bridge the gap between high-end colleges and other institutes across the country in terms of curriculum and project work, said Prasun.

I made a big deal in my advance review of The Walking Dead #100 that tried to be as unspoilery as this review, that what I expected to happen didn't. Based on issue 99, I was expecting Negan's gang to storm the complex when Rick and his crew were out, and for Rick to return to the Hilltop to find everyone massacred.
Instead we got a far more personal and more horrific story focused on one individual and the repercussions to his group. And yes, despite selling over 380,000 copies I'm still trying not to spoil too much for people reading in trade. Seriously though folks, you shouldn't be reading this. Anyway.
So what I expected was that for that event to be delayed. For Rick to return with his debilitated crew to find disaster. And we don't get that. In fact, that possibility has been negated.
This comic is expert at delivering, not the despair and the lack of hope that it is often labelled as bogged down in. And indeed, the beginning of this issue, after the encounter with Lucille last issue, you get page after page of depressing events, reaction and pain. Here's a few examples.
And that. But in the morass of all that doom and gloom, a glimmer of hope. Which every now and then bursts into flame.
And at the end of this issue, that ember is blown upon, burns bright and then on the final page ignites.
You know how long a gap it felt between issue #100 and #101? #102 will feel longer…
And yes, there are still zombies. Obviously.
The Walking Dead #101 is published this Wednesday by Image Comics, B&W, $2.99 for 22 pages of story.

This is a partnered post, all opinions are my own.
I'm not going to lie, I'm old, I mean some today might consider me ancient. You see I grew up before MP3's, home computers, cell phones and DVD players. Heck, I grew up before CD's, VCR's and remote controls on TV's. To make it worse, I grew up before cassette tapes, 8 tracks became popular when I was in pre to early teens but best of all I remember vinyl records.
I remember listening to 45's and having to put that little plastic disc in the larger center hole in order for it to fit on my record player's spindle or pull up the larger plug that surrounded the small spindle on some players.
Vinyl records were great, you could play them backwards to hear hidden messages and when you got tired of them you could put them over a coffee can in the oven and let them melt and mold into bowls. It didn't matter that the bowls had holes in the bottom, they were still bowls and could hold fruit, plastic flowers or Easter eggs and Christmas ornaments during the holidays. See, they were recyclable.
8 tracks and cassettes were different, you couldn't do much with those when you were done except trade with friends who probably had the same ones you did or throw them in the trash. CD's are different, they might look similar to vinyl records but what can you do with them when you tire of what's on them. I'm not sure if they melt well in an oven so no bowls there. You could use them as coasters but they really wouldn't absorb enough to protect your furniture. I've seen people use string or fishing line to turn them into mobiles or sun catchers but you have to like that sort of stuff. Oh, how about gluing them to a wall and call it artwork. ( I saw that once on a decorating show called Trading Spaces). With MP3's you probably won't have many friends you can trade with since they're trying to figure out what to do with all their unwanted CD's. Well, I just saw a site called Music Magpie that will pay you money for them. Yeah, get money for something you no longer want, something that your friends might not want and something you can't stick in the oven to re-purpose. I'm talking about cold hard, spendable cash.
If Music Magpie was around during the vinyl record era my mom would have had a lot less bowls decorating the house.

Digital Terrain Modeling is the process of simulating or representing the relief and patterns of a surface with numerical and digital methods. It has always been an integral component to geology related fields such as geomorphology, hydrology, tectonics and oceanography but over the past decade has also become a major component to non geophysical applications such as GIS modeling, surveying and land use planning.
Sometimes commonly known as quantitative geomorphology, digital terrain modeling is thecomputer processing of raster grid arrays of elevation data. Using Geographic information system (GIS) technology we can further enable terrain-modeling results to be combined with non topographic spatial data creating several value added products.
Terrain Models are derived from data represented by digital elevation models (DEMs) and can include shaded relief models,
slope and aspect models, perspective scene generation, and drainage basin analysis (and other models).
The physiogeographic characteristics of a surface can often be determined by elevation, slope, and its orientation, or aspect. Together they can virtually define the surface plane completely, and provide valuable information for land use planning and other aspects of geomatics.
Traditional images in geomatics are often two dimensional, meaning that all data in the image can be referenced by X and Y coordinates. Three dimensional images (3-D) incorporate a third dimension (the Z component) which represents the elevation or depth aspect of the data. To incorporate it into an image requires creating special geomatics value added products that allow users to perceive the presence of the third dimension into a traditional two dimensional setting
(because most paper and computer screens are flat or two dimensional).
In GIS applications it is often beneficial to add a texture component to the spatial data that will help the user get a feeling for the vertical depth of the data by emphasizing the elevation. To do this you need to create a shaded relief model from the DEM to model into the data.
Shaded relief models use a defined light source at a fixed location it indicate terrain displacements using a shadow effect from evaluating the aspect and slope relative to the light's azimuth angle and altitude achieved with varying grey scale tones resulting in the darkening of one side of terrain features, such as hills and ridges (the darker the shading, the steeper the slope).
The shadow direction is affected by the light's azimuth setting and shadow length is affected by the altitude component. The models provide subtle shadings which we naturally perceive as depth, helping to make the image look three dimensional. A drawback with this type of model is that depending on the placement of the illumination source, the eye and brain often see different things. Adding color to the shaded relief images utilizes chromo stereoscopic techniques to help emphasize the depth of the Z dimension of the data.
Color shaded relief models (CSR) are usually graded with a pseudo color ramp from cooler (darker) colors representing lower elevations to warmer (brighter) colors depicting greater elevations. Most imagery and data that we view in geomatics is typically viewed vertical downwards toward the map or image. Occasionally it is useful to change that default traditional view because additional topographic information can often be revealed by observing the same elevation data obliquely (commonly known as a three dimensional perspective view). Data integration and overlays are very common with perspective views because it allows traditional flat images to become new products by incorporating an elevation component and providing a new look at the same data. It is also probably used more so for visual appeal then as another method of extracting data.
The image above and to the left is a perspective view of a color shaded relief created from high resolution LIDAR using PCI Geomatica software. The oblique angle view point looking down at the image allows the observer to easily identify many of the data's features such as trees, cars and buildings.
The perspective scene in the image on the left is a representation of an urban terrain model including buildings and other various features. It was created using ESRI ArcScene software and high resolution LIDAR digital point data. The artificial oblique view allows the observer to obtain a unique glimpse from above looking down in a southerly direction towards City Hall of downtown Toronto, Ontario.

Quotes for United Medicare advantage: Good news for shareholders and bad news for consumers? 3
Why did they do it? Remember that your top priority is not to provide medical insurance and patient care, but to make a profit. And if $7 billion in profits is insufficient for its shareholders, UNH needs to go (or leave) and find a place where they can make bigger profits. Obviously, healthcare companies need to make a profit in the current climate, the question is how many earnings and how do they make those gains?
Are profits from car sales different from profits from saving (or not saving) lives? Prior to Obama care, insurance companies could reject people who they considered an unacceptable risk. It encourages innovation in part due to the inherent competition. This is quite impressive. But when it comes to health care, the system seems to fail.
You may recall that in 2016 UNH was withdrawing from certain Obama care-related markets. Forbes reported that "UnitedHealth started in 2017 selling individual coverage under ACA in just a few states after significantly reducing its presence on Obama care." That said, UNH saw promise to offer coverage under Medicaid, which was extended to 31 states under ACA.
When Medicare advantage plans rejects someone with a pre-existing condition, they get rich by refusing to pay for those in need. This makes sense from a profit point of view, but not from a health perspective.It is impossible to divide and use them without any consequence. Spending time calling the insurance company can save you a lot of money.
Other pharmacy – other price
A patient with an insurance plan can get their medicines at different prices from different pharmacies in the area. The difference may be small, saving a few cents, but it can also be significant.For example, 60 Adderall pills will cost about $45 at Walgreens and about $79 at Kmart. That means $34 saved by simply moving to another pharmacy.
If this example is not shocking, imagine the amount of money that would be saved if multiple medications were prescribed.Would UNH post lower profits if it provided better coverage or less expensive plans? The simple answer seems to be yes. From what I've seen, there doesn't seem to be much competition, since all major healthcare providers charge similar (and confusing) fees. When I compare rates and carrier coverage each year, including the dizzying array of seemingly similar plans, they all seem comparable. But this is not the case when comparing auto and home insurance coverage, there is usually a large disparity, probably due to competition and transparency. Is there really any real competition between Medicare advantage companies?

KSČM leader dismisses Ukrainian criticism of visit to Crimea
Kiev, July 30 (CTK) - Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's sharp reaction to a trip of several Czech politicians to Crimea proves that the present Ukrainian regime is undemocratic, Czech Communist (KSCM) leader Vojtech Filip told CTK on Monday.
Filip said Kiev is incapable of respecting basic principles of the functioning of Europe.
He said the visit by KSCM MEP Jaromir Kohlicek is not an official visit of the Communist Party.
Kiev media reported that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry sharply protested against the visit of Czech politicians to Crimea. The ministry said the visit by senator Jaroslav Doubrava, a former Communist, and Kohlicek was illegal and threatened to impose sanctions on them.
On Sunday, Kohlicek and Doubrava attended a show of the Russian Black Sea fleet and they met Crimean lawmakers. They visited Crimea already in April.
Those who help Russia justify its crimes must understand that they are an instrument used by the Kremlin which wants to, also thanks to these "visits", continue with repressions, arrests, tortures and murders of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars in the occupied Crimea without being punished, the ministry said.
Doubrava was added to the Ukrainian black list of unwanted persons in 2015 after he attended elections organised by pro-Russian separatists in the eastern part of Ukraine as an observer.
Kohlicek and KSCM deputy chairman Josef Skala, who is also among a Czech group visiting Crimea, welcomed the changes that occurred in the peninsula after its Russian annexation, they told the Crimean server Novy Sevastopol.
Kohlicek told the server he wants to write a detailed report about the visit so that ordinary Czechs can see that beautiful people live in Crimea and their lives are getting better.
Skala said Czech authorities were trapped by anti-Russian moods, but common people started to understand it.
The server writes that the delegation also included activists Jelena Vicanova, Zdenek Pesek and Radim Litterbach. During their trip that is to end on Tuesday, they visited Yalta, the town of Bakhchysarai and an international children's camp Artek, the server writes.
In 2014, Russia occupied and annexed Crimea. Most countries do not recognise the incorporation of Crimea into Russia.

I played Boggle with Rachel (wife) and won twice by such large margins that she refused to play with me any more. Rachel beats me in Scrabble often enough. Quick pattern recognition is more my thing, I guess. And she apparently thinks she's not going to get better at Boggle if she keeps playing it with me. Or that it's not fun to lose by that much. Or not worth it.
I played Boggle with Tal (15 yo daughter), letting her use three letter words while I could only use four letter words, and I beat her, too. She was game to keep playing, for the experience. Tal gets better each time she plays; she might beat me one day, if she keeps trying.

Imagine in this game you are a big lover of an artist who had been working on a masterpiece for years and one day he announced that the painting was going to be exhibited in a museum for the next weeks. You immediately bought a ticket and on saturday morning you were already standing in the winding row to the entrance. Getting inside you standed for hours in front of the picture scrutinizing its details. Suddenly you felt hunger and you headed toward the buffet. You chose the shorter way to get there so you decided to enter a sealed area. It was a mistake because it turned out to be a maze. You were roaming inside for hours but couldn't find the right way back. Find hidden objects and solve puzzles to get out somehow. Good luck!

Smith, Landrum win night's most hotly contested primary races
By Rebecca Sandlin and Steve Clark - Tuesday, May 8, 2018 10:17 PM
Davin G. Smith won the tightly contested Republican primary race for Huntington County Circuit Court Judge on Tuesday evening, May 8.
Smith, who spent the evening watching soccer games for his children instead of election results, received 2,074 votes to beat incumbent Jamie Groves, who received 1,979 votes, while Jill M. Denman received 1,032 and Justin R. Wall received 413.
Smith kept abreast of the result as friends texted him the numbers as he watched the games.
Smith said he was overwhelmed and very excited to discover he will be listed on the November ballot for circuit court judge.
"We're proud of all the work that we put in and it was a great race by all my opponents," he said. "We get along really well with all our opponents – they're great people. But we're so excited and happy for all the support that we have and for all the results that we got."
Smith also thanked his supporters for his win.
"We wouldn't have gotten the result without a whole lot of help from a whole lot of people all across this county," he said.
Groves congratulated Smith on his victory.
"Davin Smith ran a wonderful campaign and he's a good man," he said. "He'll do a good job as judge."
In the county's Circuit Court Clerk race Shelley Malone Septer won with 3,100 votes to Rena E. Claus' 1,789.
For Septer, her mother, Anne Malone, and grandfather, Willard Hildebrand, both served as Huntington County Circuit Court Clerk and she expressed excitement at the prospect of getting to follow in their footsteps.
"I literally have dreamed of being the county clerk since I was young and watched my family heritage play out and it set me on my own path to make my own name and get my own knowledge."
Vicki Pearson won the Huntington County Recorder seat with 2,996 votes, defeating Huntington Common Councilman Joe Blomeke, who received 2,143 votes.
Pearson currently works in the recorder's office as deputy recorder and credited that experience with propelling her to the victory.
In the race for County Auditor, Jill M. Landrum won with 2,783 votes. Cheryl Baldridge came in second with 1,280 votes and Donald D. Schoeff Sr. received 1,168.
"I'm really excited to have this victory," said Landrum, "and to serve as the Republican county auditor at this point. Looking forward to something new and exciting."
Kittie Keiffer won the Huntington County Council 4th District seat with 749 votes, to the late Don Davenriner, who received 324 votes.
In the race for Huntington Township Trustee, Everett "EJ" Carroll won with 1,722 votes, with Carl Knowles receiving 972.
One of the tenets of Carroll's platform was beautifying Lake Clare and he promised voters that, if elected in November, he would deliver upon that.
"I have to be really committed to making sure Lake Clare gets the attention that it deserves," he said.
The top three winners of the Huntington Township Board race were incumbent Tammy Kline with 1,768 votes, Tim Guy with 1,476 and incumbent John L. Baker with 1,375 votes. John Paff received 1,202 votes and incumbent Dane P. Owens took 1,065 votes.
The three winners of the Warren Township Board race were incumbent Angie Landrum, with 89 votes, incumbent Lee J. Schmalzried with 82 votes and incumbent Jack G. Sell with 72 votes. Carl Zinsmeister received 70 votes.
There was only one contested Democrat race, for Huntington 4 Precinct Committeeman. Gary A. Beatty won with 12 votes, besting Marvin R. McNew Sr., who received 10 votes.
Huntington County election officials are pleased with the turnout for the 2018 primary election on Tuesday, May 8, having had no problems with voting machines, vote centers or voters.
County Clerk Kittie Keiffer said the voting went smoothly at all vote centers. At 5 p.m., one hour before the polls closed, Keiffer said the turnout amounted to 23 percent of registered voters who had cast ballots.
"We've had a lot smaller turnouts, so we're going to be happy with the 23 percent," she said. "It's been a really good day … it started picking up right around noon as far as traffic coming through. We're pleased – it started off kind of slow but we're very, very pleased with what the turnout is."
The vote centers began dropping off the results shortly after polls closed at 6 p.m. By the time the last precincts were counted, the turnout was 26.64 percent, with voters stepping up to elect the candidates who will appear on the general election ballot on Nov. 6.
At the end of the night, a total of 6,326 people had voted of the 23,745 registered voters in the county.
Keiffer said voters made good use of the vote centers set up across the county for early voting. There were also 2,389 absentee ballots turned in, she reported.
The Huntington First Nazarene Church's vote center had the best turnout, Keiffer said, followed by the Parkview Huntington YMCA vote center, Huntington County Courthouse and American Legion. The Cottage Event Center in Roanoke and Warren Church of Christ were also open for voting on Election Day.
Keiffer noted that the numbers for this primary cannot be accurately compared with the numbers from the 2016 election year because that was a presidential election year and the turnout tends to be higher.
Among the uncontested races on the Republican side, Chris Newton got 4,958 votes for Huntington County sheriff, Jay Poe got 4,487 for Huntington County surveyor, Terri Boone got 4,637 votes for Huntington County assessor, Rob Miller pulled in 4,548 for Huntington County Commissioner District 1, Todd Landrum received 1,235 for Huntington Council Council District 1, Kendall Mickley got 1,197 for Huntington County Council District 2 and Raymond "Keith" Eller got 1,114 for Huntington County Council District 3.
Sheila Hines garnered 563 votes for the Jackson Township Trustee position. Steve Thomas got 501 votes, Wayne Fox got 498 votes and Larry Lahr got 475 to fill the three slots for Jackson Township Board.
Jay Hammel got 429 votes for Clear Creek Township trustee. For the three seats on the Clear Creek Township Board, Roger Warner garnered 393 votes, Richard Michel had 332 and Eldon Bruner got 328.
Julie Newsome got 206 votes for Dallas Township trustee. For the three Dallas Township Board spots, Kyle Kitt had 175, Eric Powell had 169 and Katherine Yoder had 165.
Kathy Morton got 100 votes for Warren Township trustee.
For the three spots on the Union Township Board, Ron Goetz got 203 votes, Neil Kline had 169 and William Armfield had 135.
Lancaster Township trustee candidate Thomas Allred got 173 votes. The three spots for the Lancaster Township Board saw Linda Couch get 141 votes, Terry Updike took 139 and Richard Keiffer got 132.
The Jefferson Township trustee candidate David Keller got 65 votes. Only two candidates filed for the three spots on the Jefferson Township Board, with Mark Vickrey getting 61 votes and Jon Smith getting 48.
Gary Miller got 47 votes as the lone Polk Township trustee candidate. For the three Polk Township Board spots, Matt Tyner got 43 votes, Renee Eisenhauer got 40 votes and Angie Tyner got 38.
Ashley Tinkle received 45 votes as the lone Wayne Township trustee candidate. Kevin Killen got 40 votes for one of the three spots on the Wayne Township Board.
There were numerous spots on the primary ballot that were not filled by Democratic candidates and some not filled by Republicans. The Democratic and Republican parties have until noon on Saturday, June 30, to fill a vacancy on the general election ballot, due to a vacancy resulting from no candidate being nominated at a primary. Both parties have until noon on Tuesday, July 3, to file a certificate of selection stating that a vacancy on the general election ballot resulting from a vacancy on the primary ballot has been filled.
Independent or minor party candidates have until noon on Monday, July 2, to file a petition of nomination with the clerk's office for verification of petition signatures.
The general election will take place Tuesday, Nov. 6, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. As in the primary, early voting will be allowed at selected vote centers around the county.
