We're Redefining
Waste Services
When RTS Co-Founders, Adam Pasquale and Greg Lettieri, looked at how the waste industry operated, they came to the same conclusion: things needed to change.
Adam Pasquale had seen every side of waste management from his lifetime of experience operating a family-owned collection company. He saw competitors so focused on increasing margins they were cutting corners, breaking promises, and failing their customers. Where was the integrity and commitment to great service?
Greg Lettieri saw the situation through the lens of his previous work in technology innovation at Sprint and Bank of America. When he looked at the waste industry he saw unwieldy businesses operating like dinosaurs. Where was the innovation and disruptive competition?
In 2015, the two friends opened the doors at Recycle Track Systems – a more efficient, waste-conscious collection service that's reshaping the industry without owning a single garbage truck.
RTS works with local, independent haulers and outfits vehicles with proprietary routing technology that streamlines collection routes and keeps in constant communication with individual pickup sites. From garbage to recyclables, compost, e-waste and reusable materials – RTS helps businesses manage waste more responsibly.
Founded and headquartered in New York, RTS has expanded to Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Chicago.
The company services high profile clients like Whole Foods Market®; Soul Cycle; and Citi Field, home of the New York Mets.
In our pursuit to be a community-conscious employer and world-class partner to our clients we abide by the following tenets.
Commitment to loyalty, transparency and accountability to our customers, employees and community
Building smarter tools every day to enhance our ability to provide a superior experience one pickup at a time
Showing care for the planet and being conscious of the impact our choices have on our communities

Bollywood Movies 2019 List – Upcoming list
Written by Maryum Hamza on September 25, 2018
Life is incomplete without little fun and having a movie time as a fun. It is always compulsory to have popcorns, drinks, and snacks on Saturday night with family and a best Bollywood Movie. We will help you set the time and schedule of the best movies. The list below indicates all the Bollywood Movies 2019. All you need to do is to mark down its dates with the nearest weekend with your friends or family.
SUPER 30 Bollywood Movies 2019 Lead as Hrithik Roshan:
First of all, the movie is expected to be launched on January 25th, 2019. The lead role of Hrithik is making people curious to have a watch. The cast includes Hrithik Roshan, Mrunal Thakur, and Amit Sadh. The film direction is by Vikas Bahl. The movie is based on the life of Patna-based mathematician Anand Kumar who runs the famed Super 30 program for IIT aspirants in Patna. The poster shows it all that as the performance of Hrithik as Rohit in Koi Mil Gaya and Dhoom are fascinating. Same will be the acting expected here. We are excited for this upcoming Bollywood movie 2019 in the calendar.
Cheat India Bollywood Movies 2019 Lead as Emraan Hashmi:
The roles of Emraan are always somehow different from one another. He always uses to play the role with a totally different look and especially hairstyle. His styles are no doubt the best of all that show his personality and also pass on the shadow of his own personal life. His roles in Awarapan, Jannat, Raaz, Murder, Ek Thi dayeen, Ungli and many more are just fabulous and same the audience will expect in this movie. The movie is expected to be launched in January 25th, 2019 the same date with SUPER 30. The cast includes Emraan Hashmi and Shreya Dhanwanthary. The director of this movie is Soumik Sen and producers are Bhushan Kumar, Tanuj Garg, Atul Kasbekar and Emraan Hashmi. Let's wait and check that will Emraan be able to give the same best performances as previous movies.
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga Bollywood Movies 2019:
Almost, you are thinking the same as I do. The title of this movie is a song of 90's movie in which lead role was of Anil Kapoor. In this movie, the leading roles are played by Anil Kapoor, his daughter Sonam Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Juhi Chawla, and Akshay Oberoi. The movie is expected to be launched on February 1st, 2019. The director of this movie is Shelly Chopra Dhar. Let's see as whenever Anil Kapoor got a space in any movie of Sonam, her glamor is all that is highlights. Hope the story will be focused too.
SOTY 2 leads Tiger Shroff:
The cast includes Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria, Ananya Panday and Abhishek Bajaj. The previous SOTY was also a cast full of youth. But here the cast of the actress is newly introduce. As we all know Karan Johar always introduces new faces in the industry. But the best we can say is try to introduce talent more. Bollywood Movies 2019 list includes this movie as a plus and a must watch. It is going to be launch on May 10th, 2019.
Panipat Bollywood Movies 2019:
At last, Sanjay Dutt is all set to start his blockbuster career with a comeback in his upcoming movie PANIPAT. The sound of this movie reminds me of his role in Agneepath.
We are excited to watch his dashing personality as a lead role in Panipat and a little of Munna Bhai is always a love. The movie is going to be launch at the end of the year December 6th, 2019. The cast includes Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon. The director of this movie is Ashutosh Gowariker.
Upcoming Bollywood Movies 2020:

Hence, Hope you have collected a complete date of your vacations and family fun.

PLYMOUTH, N.H. - Three Plymouth State University student-athletes were recognized by the Little East Conference Monday for their performances in multiple Panther contests last week.
Panther senior Carin LaValley (Northfield, N.H.) was selected LEC Women's Volleyball Offensive Player of the Week, and freshmen Kelsey MacDonald (Oak Bluffs, Mass.) and Krista Pettrey (Northfield, Vt.) were named LEC Women's Soccer Co-Rookies of the Week.
A 5'6" outside hitter, LaValley was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Western New England College Invitational last weekend after helping the Panthers to a 3-1 tourney record. She registered a .362 hitting percentage with 35 kills (3.50 per game), 36 digs (3.60 per game), four service aces and four blocks. Included in her totals was a 15-kill, 18-dig performance in a four-game loss to Amherst.
LaValley helped PSU (6-2 overall) to wins over Pine Manor, Mass. College and host WNEC. Her All-Tournament Team honor was the 11th such selection of her career, and the first since 2001. LaValley is the second straight Panther to be receive the LEC's top weekly offensive honor, following last week's pick of sophomore Kelly Landry (Nashua, N.H.).
MacDonald, a 5'2" midfielder, and Pettrey, a 5'1" forward, had similar successful weeks for the Panther women's soccer squad. Pettrey scored the game-winning goal in a 2-0 win over Norwich and added an insurance score in a 3-0 triumph over Saint Joseph's, and MacDonald converted the game-winning goal against St. Joseph's after knocking in an insurance tally against Norwich.
Pettrey and MacDonald have helped PSU to a 3-0-0 record, the team's best start since 1997. Pettrey leads the team in scoring with three goals and one assist, while MacDonald is tied for second with two goals.

Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song) is set to star in the classic tale of Arabian Nights by Chuck Russell, who claims directing credits on The Mask and 2002's The Scorpion King. That means this is fairly familiar territory for Russell, but will be the first real break for the 20-year-old sibling of Chris Hemsworth (Thor). Set to shoot at the end of the summer, Arabian Nights is written by Russell and Barry P. Ambrose, with the following plotline:
"The period epic centers on a young commander (Hemsworth) who, after his king is murdered in a coup, joins forces with Sinbad, Ali Baba and the Genie from the magic lamp to rescue the queen, Scheherazade."
Unsurprisingly, the movie is slated to be in 3D and is being funded by Inferno Entertainment, who recently premiered The Kids Are All Right at Sundance. Stay tuned for most casting details as we get them. [Heat Vision Blog]

Some local indigenes of Federal Capital Territory have been seen protesting unclad as they demand a slot of Permanent Secretary in the Buhari-led federal government.
Some native Abuja indigenes on Wednesday morning, interrupted activities at the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation (OHSF) as they protested naked, demanding for a permanent secretary slot.
According to multiple online reports, the protesters said to be mainly of Gbaygi extraction carried placards with various inscriptions, and blocked the entrance to the office of the Head of Service.
Their moves were however, curtailed by heavy presence of security operatives who condoned off the place with Armoured Personnel Carriers.
Recall that we had reported some weeks ago that some native residents of the federal capital territory (FCT) protested unclad at the entrance of the National Assembly, Abuja over alleged marginalization, and also threatened quit notice to residents of the nation's capital.

"Trust Rules" served as the theme for this month's class. We began the day at the Kenosha County Administration Building, learning about the structure of our county government, the roles of local officials and learning why our local leaders chose to become involved in government. A big thanks to Jennie Tunkieicz, Kimberly Breunig, Curt Wilson, Terry Burns and John Kiel for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. Toastmasters, led by Ron Morishita, shared with us best practices for public speaking and conveying a message clearly and earnestly. We had an opportunity to put this knowledge to use with some amazing and entertaining impromptu speeches by our classmates.
The class spent the afternoon at the Kenosha News learning about the role of media in Kenosha, led by Janine Anderson and Daphne Ursu. We learned about the process by which our local paper publishes stories and the fact-checking that takes place to ensure that news published is accurate. Verifying facts and truthfulness fed into our next session led by Lou Molitor, President and CEO of the Kenosha Chamber of Commerce. He spoke to the class about ethical leadership and the value in, and difficulty of choosing to do what is right over what is easy or popular. The class evaluated case studies and understood immediately the difficulty of having to choose one competing value over another.
A big thanks to Tedi Winnett from UW-Extension for coordinating this day's content and to classmates Steven Mui, George Andrews, Willie Days and Amy Garrigan for their contributions to this month's class.

Creating Providers and Consumers with the React Context API
The React documentation has been warning us for a long time now that context shouldn't be used and that the API is unstable. Well, with the release of React 16.3, we're finally getting a stable context API and what's even better is that it has received a makeover and the dev experience is fantastic! In this lesson, we'll look at an example app that passes props down several levels deep into the component tree and replace all that prop drilling with the new context API. We'll see how to create a Provider and a Consumer, how to use them in the code and we'll take a look at how the default properties that get passed into
createContext come into play.
note: we're using an alpha release of 16.3 for this lesson, but the official release should be soon

Global Standard -3%: CDKEYZ
Global Definitive Ed.
Global Standard
Build your deck and face Sauron in The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game, a digital-only experience inspired by the tabletop LCG®. Lead your fellowship through quests that will test your Leadership, Tactics, Lore, and Spirit. Ready your weapons, gather your heroes, and create your own story.
Fun singleplayer or cooperative card game with the topic and illustrations bound to please every Tolkien fan. However, it's worse than its board game counterpart and hampered by an amateurish interface and a weak AI.
Personal bias aside, with all the influence coming from The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game and the fact that the cards are essentially permanent, you would be as well just buying a deck and playing at your friendly local game store. The only real advantage to the video game version is the story and the ability to change card art by unlocking it with points - which is a nice change from paying for it though the groundwork is there for microtransactions to seep in eventually. However, if you want more stories about Middle Earth, then I guess it's worth it for that. Just, maybe mute the game whenever Smeagol is involved.
The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game has a lot of potential and it's possible that an expanded library of cards and some new modes will help to elevate it in the future, but the game needs a lot more content if it hopes to be a major player in a marketplace that is dominated by competitors with more to offer.
The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game is crafted by a company that loves Tolkien, and understands both the lore and how to craft a unique world around the source material.
Both solid and promising, Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game has some good ideas, such as the Eye of Sauron, which keeps pressure on the player. But too often, the game pushes the player toward its micro-transactions system. [Early Access score = 65]

OTTAWA — Frustration with and anger at Stephen Harper's decision to prorogue Parliament spilled from the Internet onto the streets Saturday, as tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered at rallies across Canada.
Calling it a rally in support of democracy, more than 3,500 people gathered on Parliament Hill to demand Harper immediately re-convene Parliament. More than 7,000 protesters turned up in downtown Toronto, another 500 demonstrated in Halifax. Organizers were boasting of rallies in 60 communities across the country.
The issue even sparked a one-woman rally in the Middle East, where Saskatchewan native Sarah MacDonald had her own signs, including one that read "My absentee ballot won't be for Harper."
"Canada will always be home. I really, really value my Canadian citizenship and country, being able to have a country that represents me, regardless of where I am," she said from Sur, Oman.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced on Dec. 30 that Parliament would prorogue until March, instead of resuming on January.
The prorogation, granted by the Governor General, effectively ended the session, forcing members of the Senate and the House of Commons to halt their official business until the opening of the next session.
The principal effect of prorogation is the end of government business. All government bills that have not received royal assent prior to prorogation cease to exist and committees cannot sit. Government bills must be reintroduced as new bills or the can be reinstated if a majority of MPs, upon their return, agrees.
The decision to prorogue Parliament, the second in just over a year, sparked a backlash, especially online, where a Facebook group opposing the move grew to include more than 211,000 members.
In Ottawa on Saturday, protesters claimed the prorogation of Parliament has handicapped the country's ability to address issues such as pension reform and green energy.
"Politicians calculated that we would be apathetic about this, but clearly they were wrong," Alex Hill, one of the Ottawa event's co-ordinators, told the crowd before leading the protesters in a chant telling politicians to "get back to work."
Despite attempts by organizers to keep the event unaffiliated with any political party, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff the NDP's Jack Layton were allowed to speak to the crowd.
"The House of Commons is supposed to be the house of the people," said Layton. "Mr. Harper, unlock the doors of the people's house."
The sentiments were echoed by Ignatieff, who praised the cross-country movement that the Facebook group had created.
"This is not a party or political event. It belongs to the Canadian people," he said. "This is a demonstration that shows that Canadians care for their democracy."
Speaking in French, Ignatieff said the "prime minister gambled on the cynical attitudes; he gambled on the disenchantment with respect to politics. . . . Ladies and gentlemen, he lost his bet."
In Toronto, a crowd estimated by police to be close to 7,000 people crowded into Dundas Square, across Yonge Street from the Eaton Centre.
It appeared to be the largest rally of the day and lasted almost four hours, complete with a road-closing march in Toronto's downtown core.
"Canadians are finally becoming aware that our democracy is worth something, and they're willing to stand up and fight for it," said Justin Arjoon of Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament.
"Mr. Harper isn't going to listen to this — he has a completely different style of thinking and politics," Liberal MP Bob Rae told the crowd.
More than 300 people turned out in Winnipeg and at one point, the crowd broke into song, changing the lyrics of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, to: "It's time to get rid of Harper, which nobody can deny."
"People are mad," said Chris Burnett, a Home Depot employee with no previous history of political activism, who found himself thrust to the front of the protest movement in Winnipeg. Burnett merely responded when one of the national organizers asked him to lead the Winnipeg event.
Harper appeared unmoved by the rallies, when asked several times during a morning news conference.
His repeated answer was basically that the government was busy. He did not refer to the rallies in his replies.
"Let me just say the government is extremely occupied these days," he said.
"The government has a lot of work to do to get ourselves prepared for the upcoming agenda of Parliament," he said.
"I would obviously simply urge our opposition to spend their time making constructive proposals. I think we've obviously had a successful year rolling out infrastructure projects, but we now have to turn our mind to a broader agenda to some of the economic challenges, including deficit reduction, ahead of us. And I would urge all parties to contribute constructively to that agenda."
Meanwhile, about 200 people gathered at city hall in Windsor, Ont., in a rally that featured an open podium, with anyone in the audience given the opportunity to speak for three minutes. A steady stream of people took the stand to urge Parliament to "get back to work."
"People come out because they're interested in having their say in what's going on," said Windsor rally organizer Paul Chislett. "We've been silent for too long."
In Regina, Liberal MP Ralph Goodale began speaking by asking the crowd of more than 300 people to remember those suffering in Haiti. Then he took on Harper with a touch of humour.
"As a Polish friend of mine said last night, 'If we are now prorogued, that would make Mr. Harper the prorogor and all of us would be perogies.' That would be funny if the subject weren't so serious.
"The issue here is, can the executive of the government unilaterally and arbitrarily dismiss the people's representatives? Padlock the door, shut down the place, send everybody home?"
Approximately 200 people braved a chilly afternoon in Calgary to gather outside Harper's constituency office to protest against his party's move.
Waving Canadian flags and anti-prorogation signs in the light snowfall, protesters sang the national anthem before chanting "get back to work."
Teri Posyniak is the mother of a reservist who spoke of her disappointment in Harper.
"Why are you sending our boys over to Afghanistan for democracy when you are trashing it?" she said. "I do not want my son to die for this in Afghanistan when he should probably be fighting with us at home."
Scott Payne with Calgarians Against Proroguing Parliament helped organize Saturday's rally. Even though Calgary may be the heart of Tory territory, Payne said the city's residents cares about the government and many people wanted to speak out against what they feel is an inappropriate use of proroguing powers.
Further north in Edmonton, more than 200 people marched down Whyte Avenue to a park for that city's rally, organized by Christopher White, a national organizer and University of Alberta student.
It was White's Facebook group, Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament, that got the protest ball rolling and has attracted more than 211,000 members since Harper announced his decision on the second-last day of the year.
"It really is a very pan-Canadian movement here," White said Saturday.
"These rallies aren't the end. They're the beginning. We have to remain active, engaged citizens, caring about our politics and willing to take a stand when we have been wronged."
In Vancouver, several thousand protesters urged Harper to get the government back to work.
A large throng marched in Vancouver's Victory Square with critics saying the Conservatives' move was anti-democratic and calculated to avoid heated questions during the 2010 Olympics.
One of the Vancouver march organizers, Trevor Fenton, said the move shows Canada is in a "full-blown constitutional crisis."
Demonstrations were also planned outside Canadian consulates in San Francisco and Dallas. People were also expected to gather in Costa Rica and in London.

A Lymm-based digital agency has announced the appointment of a new Creative Director as it continues to enjoy sustained growth.
Visions Design, based on Bridgewater Street in the heart of the picturesque Cheshire village, has welcomed Andy Smith who brings ten years of industry experience to the team.
The company offers graphic design, creative website development, SEO, e-commerce sites and digital marketing packages.
Andy's appointment further enhances the creative agency's reputation as a significant player on the digital landscape.
"Joining the Visions Design team was a great opportunity," said Andy. "It's a close-knit office with exciting and innovative ideas. What appealed to me was taking on a varied list of clients from across the country, but operating from such a stunning rural base."
Visions Design was established in 2012. Managing Director Daniel Cordwell is delighted that the firm has prospered in Lymm, creating jobs and helping to boost the local economy.
He said: "There are many agencies based in Manchester and Liverpool, but we were always keen to grow the business in Lymm. We are an Internet-based firm, but being located in such an idyllic part of Cheshire offers fabulous work-life benefits."
"Andy brings considerable experience to the office, and as Visions Design expands his expertise will be invaluable as we look to empower the team with new skills."
"We now have clients all over the country, but some of the most satisfying work is done in and around Lymm. Several members of the team are local, and it's rewarding being able to welcome clients to the office. We operate in a fast-paced industry but enjoy the best of village life," he added.
A business link that has blossomed is with nearby Arley Hall & Gardens in Northwich. The Cheshire attraction needed help re-building their website, and using the services of a local company was the perfect fit for the historic stately home.
Arley Hall's Marketing Manager, Helen Begent, explained: "Working with people who fully understand your requirement and have visited our wonderful site is a huge bonus. Partnering other Cheshire businesses makes sense to us, much like using local food suppliers, as so many of our visitors come from the surrounding area."

Case Study
How Z Loft Hotel Found a Way to Stand Out From the Competition
How many different accommodation providers can you fit in one 5,000 person town? 13, if you're talking about St. Robert, Missouri, where the Z Loft Hotel Bar & Grill opened its doors two years ago.
Although the property offers its distinct clientele (military service members and government contractors) unique features such as king suites and a washer and dryer in every apartment, the property still faces the challenge of finding ways it can differentiate itself from the competition in a crowded market.
The Challenge: Standing Out From the Competition
"I'm in a very small military-based town. 95% of our customers are service members or government contractors and it's rather congested when it comes to options here," said Paula Farris, Managing Partner, Z Loft Hotel Bar & Grill.
"We have lots of great features that make us stand out – but the challenge online is getting people to see that and choose us."
She knew that travelers were spreading word-of-mouth buzz about the hip, funky hotel – now, she wanted more online travel shoppers to find out about them too.
The Solution: Advancing to a Visually-Driven Website That Converts
Paula subscribes to Vizlly to create a visually-driven website, mobile sites, Facebook apps and digital brochures for third-party travel channels. "I wanted to advance us. I know through webinars I attend that videos are the latest thing. That's something I couldn't have with the website company I was with before."
"I switched to Leonardo knowing that you're the leaders and you're more advanced. Now, I look at the analytics and they're so detailed – and they show me my gut instinct was right when we wanted to implement videos and have a more visual website."
Increased Direct Bookings by 50%
In six months since going live with Vizlly, the Z Loft's direct bookings have increased by 50%.
"You've helped us create a really beautiful website that people can look at. We've increased direct bookings and it's definitely gotten better every month. I don't think we could have done it without you."
Surpassing Expectations
Z Loft subscribes to Vizlly to create mobile optimized websites for smartphone and tablet that are Google verified, helping the property appear higher in mobile search engine results; detect the travel shopper's device and display a website optimized for that device; and drive direct bookings with "book now" integrations on every page.
The Z Loft's new mobile website is also driving inbound inquiries at a much higher rate than her previous mobile website. Every month, Z Loft receives hundreds of inbound inquiries from their mobile website.
"With our old company, they weren't really mobile friendly at first and then there were some limitations. With you, it's more advanced. You've helped keep us current."
Success Coaching Makes All the Difference
One of the reasons Paula has seen such success with Vizlly is because of the support and guidance she receives from her dedicated CHDM and Google Analytics certified Success Coach – something that every Vizlly customer receives.
"In our world, we need stuff done yesterday. With you guys, there's never a down time for a response, that's really nice for me. Sometimes we have questions and we really appreciate your input."
The Z Loft Hotel is the perfect example of a hotel that knows who it is and what they want: they're young and hip and they want to attract specific clientele. To do so with limited time and budget, they needed cutting-edge technology that would showcase their uniqueness to the world – and thanks to Vizlly, they can.

Royson James writes socially themed editorials in the Toronto Star. In today's column he slams (among others) Frances Nunziata for stating that Priority Neighbourhood status is hampering positive change in Weston-Mount Dennis because the negative label drives away business. She's quoted in the column as saying that Priority Neighbourhood Status increases insurance rates and puts developers off from even opening up a coffee shop.
Snake oil salesmen are more cuddly than these suburban city councillors who masquerade as caretakers of Toronto's neediest of city wards. And a lot more truthful….
Councillor Frances Nunziata declared that Weston-Mount Dennis can do so much better without the "priority neighbourhood" label council has attached to it, a label that has attracted millions of dollars of added community services.
Now, she says, developers don't even want to bring a coffee shop into the neighbourhood. Besides, insurance rates shot up when insurers, apparently, found out — from the label, no doubt — that this was a part of town with social challenges.
In other words, change the name and the developers will come. Ha!
These comments along with the councillor's repeated objections to liquor licence applications in Weston make us wonder (again) about the councillor's vision for Weston's commercial district. Would she like to replicate Bloor West Village along Weston Road and Jane Street? Is this a trial balloon to explore axing the Priority Neighbourhood Program? Perhaps our councillor would care to shed some light on this topic.

They specialize in fixing logic boards...for a reasonable price. I was wondering if anyone ever used them or are they reliable, trusted, etc? I can't find much reviews on them except on their page. They are in New York, so I'm no where near them and would have to mail my laptop in if I ever needed a logic board repair...and that kind of makes me iffy. So if anyone knows anything about them, I would like to know! Thank you! (Or does anyone else know of a place who does a good job with logic board repairs and wouldn't make you pay a hefty sum?)

Episode 528: Significant Betters
The Music Biz has more than its share of unsung heroes. This day and age to "make it" in the Metal World a band has to be constantly out on the road. Just like any other form of entertainment, more often than not, the artist leaves their spouse at home while he/she pursues the Rock n Roll dream. Very seldom is the story of these significant others ever heard. "Blue" Spinazola (Fit For An Autopsy, Dysentery) is one of those road warriors and a good friend of the show. A package deal with "Blue" is his girlfriend Caitlin. She's a perfect candidate to represent this silent, but important, group. We had an awesome chat with Caitlin discussing dealing with him on the road and all the trials and tribulations it brings. Words of wisdom you won't soon forget. In our 'News, Views, and Tunes", we had a unique chat with none other than Micheal Myers about his new, smash "Halloween" film. As well, we get into Disturbed piercings, Marilyn Manson dildos, and the recent success of the returning As I Lay Dying. Musically we crank new tunes from Marduk, Craft, Blood Of The Wolf, and introduce Ottawa's Ominous Eclipse in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns!!

Thessaloniki is Greece's second biggest city and for the next few months I will be based in Diavata, a small town about 10km from the city. I am working as part of a medical organisation that offers medical care to refugees. Our two main bases of operation are within a camp a short walk from Diavata and in a car park, about a 5 minute walk from the train station in Thessaloniki.
In truth I did not know much about the city until my arrival, other than its location in relation to the recent migration route across Europe. However, I'm really glad my work has brought me here. Thessaloniki itself is a beautiful port city, founded in 315 BC and steeped in history. It is the capital of Greek Macedonia, named after the half-sister of Alexander the great and has been ruled by the Kingdom of Macedonia, Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Ottoman Empire and even fell under Nazi rule during the Second World War. As a result of its history there are an impressive 15 monuments in the city that make UNESCO World Heritage Status.
I've briefly spent some time in the city centre but as our main places of work are just to the west of the city we don't often venture into town. Hopefully I'll be able to explore more of the city during my stay but Diavata has everything we need, including an amazing market outside our flat on Wednesday mornings, where you can get the most incredible fresh fruit and vegetables!
Since my arrival my work has been split between working in the camp at Diavata and the car park clinic. I am the only physiotherapist working with the organisation and the first fortnight has been used to establish a client base and routine; my usual week will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the camp and Tuesday, Thursday and occasional Saturday in the car park.
I tried last week to try and attend all three clinics in a day but not only do they overlap, so it makes you late for the afternoon clinic but it also makes it over a 12 hour day, which is just not functional when it's as busy as it is! Instead, I'll be using the time between clinics to take over the role of coordinator for the Thessaloniki project.
The camp operates a morning clinic during the weekdays for registered refugees and we work alongside a Greek organisation PHILOS, funded by the European Commission. At the minute it is estimated there are around 2000 in the camp 700 registered and 1300 unregistered refugees. Predominantly my work will be in the camp as the majority of the residents are considered more 'vulnerable', for example, women, children, families and people with disabilities. Although PHILOS provide medical care, the residents of the camp do not have any other access to a physiotherapist. The benefit to my working in the camp is that a large majority of my patients have been female, which means I am able to treat them in privacy, without too many cultural barriers.
At the end of my first week we managed to negotiate a static caravan for me to use belonging to UNHCR (the UN charity for refugees). This has enabled me to have my own working space and means I can arrange to see people who need ongoing input regularly, on the days I am in the camp, as well as seeing any day attendances the doctors want me to review.
The facilities although fairly basic are more than adequate. I have taken a camp bed from our warehouse to use as a plinth to assess and treat patients and have managed to gather a collection of different items to use including towels and creams.
Predominantly the conditions I see in the camp are muscular in nature, often complaints of lower back, neck or shoulder pain although I have also splinted broken fingers before they get referred to hospital. As mentioned earlier, the camp hosts some of the more vulnerable patients and I have been regularly seeing a gentleman with a spinal cord injury for neurological rehabilitation (A).
I met A on my first day and may have been slightly biased towards him, as not only are he and his mother the sweetest people you could hope to meet (despite a lack of English, we communicate mainly via google translate – it's a life saver!) but also, when I met him for the first time he was sat up in bed wearing a Leeds Beckett University T-Shirt! It was one he was given on arrival in camp but I couldn't stop smiling. Only I would come to Greece and have my first patient wearing a top from Leeds!
Unlike the camp, the majority of the refugees that attend the car park clinic in the afternoons and evenings are unregistered and generally male, often between late teens and early twenties. More often than not, they live around the city centre in abandoned buildings and squats which is why we base our work here. Between the car park and the train station there is at least one abandoned building currently housing 50 refugees.
Logistically it is a little harder for me to work in the car park as we work out of an old ambulance, however in the recent days we have established more of a routine to get physio incorporated. We aim to have at least one volunteer doctor at a time who operates within the ambulance (accessed via the sliding door) and a wound station set up outside the ambulance for other medical professionals e.g. nurses/ paramedics/ students to attend to wound dressings.
The most common problem is infected wounds from mosquito bites but scabies is also common and we provide treatment and fresh clothes to everyone who requires it. Any minor ailments can be treated in the ambulance but for more serious conditions that arise, for example, an epileptic with poorly controlled seizures, we can refer into the Greek healthcare system or take more urgent cases to hospital ourselves.
In recent days as more people are requiring physiotherapy I have set up a station operating out of the back of the ambulance to treat general musculoskeletal injuries for either upper limb or lower limb. If more privacy is needed I try and jump into the ambulance between medical patients and this seems to be working at the minute.
We operate the system using separate numbers for the doctors (1) and the wound station (W1) but with the recent increasing number of patients for physio, I now have my own number system (D1).
Although we run both an afternoon and evening clinic with a short break, the evening clinic is far more popular as another organisation works alongside us in the car park to offer food distribution. The car park regularly gets the same refugees attending until they decide to move on which means that anyone with longer term needs has been coming back on the days I am there for further treatment as well as getting food and their wounds dressed at the same time. Just last night a gentleman returned to the clinic to say that his knee pain was completely better.
At times there can be a more intense atmosphere in the car park compared to the camp as often the refugees are from different countries, with their own individual tensions and any system that involves queuing for food, when they normally have minimal access to food and water, is likely to have its problems. During an evening on my first week someone got glassed in the head with a bottle and needed suturing and the week before I arrived someone was stabbed in the ambulance itself, trying to get away from another man.
However, this is rare and hasn't happened until now. With the end of summer and the nights soon to get darker we have brought the evening clinic forwards to finish at 9pm instead of 10pm and are trying to not run over. Despite the odd difficulty the work is good and between clinics we often stay around or return early to play football or vollyball with some of the guys. After clinic last Thursday when everyone had gone a few refugees remained and we played some Arabic music and all tried our best dance moves – mine were less than average but scored 10/10 for enthusiasm.
Over the next few weeks I'll try and share a few more specific stories, photos and hopefully introduce you to some of the people I meet along the way 🙂

Two more poems inspired by words in the book "Happiness is an inside job" by Dr. Sylvia Boorstein. Read From Found Words Rise the Tasks of Messengers (Part 1) for the background and first three poems.
p. 12
in recognition of myself
I fall embittered
into accommodating
just to accommodate
this natural connection to suffering
is my declaration of life
p. 12-13
a possible peace
through wisdom learned
inevitable contention
Creating these makes me feel very wise, even though I'm just rearranging words and adding others. Perhaps that's just what poetry is: the moving of words. Like those little puzzles where you have to slide the tiles around to make a picture, I slide words around until I find the poem that was already there.

The Funeral Luncheon is a Christian Service ministry to support to families who have lost a loved one. Lorraine Forth, Pat Davis and Jill Skinner were introduced to the ministry 20 plus years ago and continue to be involved in coordinating the luncheons today. The ministry group believes it's important to greet families and friends in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. "The Funeral Luncheon is a celebration of LIFE and it's a privilege to be there for the family." says Lorraine.
The Luncheon offers a meal, fellowship and an outpouring of support by:
- Helping grieving families ease their sense of sadness without the worry of having to feed guests.
- Providing families with a sense of community, knowing others care for them, which can at times, be even more nourishing than the meal itself
- Allowing parishioners the opportunity to serve God through one another in ministry
Ministry members feel a real sense of camaraderie and form life-long friendships while working in the kitchen and dining room together. "It's a nice way to connect with friends and share the love of Christ!" says Jill Skinner.
The majority of ministry members are 70+, which may be challenging when there happens to be several funerals in the same week. Last year there were 33 Celebrations of Christian Burial at Saint Thomas. Additional ministry members are needed to assist with food preparation, kitchen help, dining room set up, and cleanup. You can also support the ministry by requesting to be on the CALL List and agree to drop off a salad or dessert before a funeral begins. Contact Lorraine Forth at 616-451-0197 or Ruth Mattone at 616-363-6527 for more information.

Before all the usual excitement of the daily diary, the laughter, the tears and the exclusive revelations , lets pause for a moment to mark a truly outstanding achievement.
Scott Brown has completed ten years at Celtic.
I know, its flown past.
From the narky wee lad who joined in 2007, we have watched him mature, sometimes slowly, granted, and take his place among great Celtic captains of yesteryear.
These days, its rare for a player to stay so long at one club, especially with the financial rewards available down south.
Its been while since anyone got a testimonial, and Brown deserves his.
Brown goes back to 2008 to pinpoint the beginning of the change in his attitude…
"I got suspended for four games at the end of my first season.
"The rules had changed and six yellow cards got you a suspension so every season I'd be suspended four times. I missed the run-in to us winning the league at Tannadice. I came back with two games to go and we had won four or five in a row so I was on the bench for the last two games.
"I came on but thought I better change my ways instead of missing the games and I wanted to be part of the team that won the league.
"Don't get me wrong, it was phenomenal still to be part of the squad and winning games.
"But from there Gordon sat down with me and we spoke about it and I went on to have one of my best seasons the next year.
"I felt as if I owed him. Everyone knew I was a wee bit immature when I signed and it was more on the field than anything.
"Instead of following the man back I would end up trying to win the ball and mistiming the tackle, picking up silly bookings and that sort of thing.
"It was just about changing small parts of my game to improve everything and he was the one who did it. That's why I owe him."
"When I first signed I was a cocky little p****. I've enjoyed every single minute of it and there have been ups and downs. But there have been a lot more ups than there have been downs. I could have gone to England but the main thing was Gordon Strachan.
Oddly enough, Strachan may have coached the cockiness out of Brown, but it never quite left the former Celtic manager. Especially if you disagree with him on anything.
"The wee man was brilliant when I went and spoke to him. He understood what was going to happen and from that moment he was phenomenal – everything about him, the way he trained and the way he spoke, the way Peter Lawwell spoke as well and how highly they spoke about me.
"I didn't speak that highly of myself so it was quite good of them. I was a wee so and so but I wasn't a defensive midfielder, that's for sure.
"I would bomb on, run about and chase every single ball and tackle anything that moved. I didn't have too much quality on the ball or the vision to see a pass.
"It was about getting my game away from the running and chasing a ball so I got two dogs to do that for me instead. Gordon taught me how to play in a position.
"He played a 4-4-2 at the time and made me more of a defensive midfielder rather than an attacker and I used my legs at the back. He got me to understand my game."
Over the years he has worked on his game and is now one of the better players at Champions League level.
As this statistic, from UEFA's site, indicate..

At the most basic level, you should know how to monitor the activity of Oracle from the operating system level. This involves tools such as 'vmstat' (for watching memory activity), 'iostat' (for watching disk activity) and 'netstat' (for watching network activity). If the database is running slowly, sometimes it's not an Oracle tuning matter - no database can run at optimal performance on a machine that's busy with other tasks. For example, querying the system tables might not show contention, because you've separated your indexes, data, system and temp tablespaces, so the only way to find out is to actually monitor the unix counters. One of the most useful tools for monitoring a unix system is called 'top', which displays uptime, load averages, percentages of time spent in kernel mode, user mode, waiting for I/O to complete, and the top 20 or so most busy processes with their statistics. You can just leave it running in a window and keep an eye on it. Another useful tool is 'truss' - you can connect this to a running process, and it will report the system calls as they are executed, which is invaluable if you have a busy process but don't know what it's currently doing. If you get a core dump, 'gdb' will help you diagnose it. For checking how much disk space you have free, use 'df', and for seeing who's logged on to unix, run 'who' or 'w'. These are the first things to learn, as they will help you with other DBA tasks.
The next thing is probably shell scripting. My personal preferences here are bash and ksh, as they are more powerful than the standard sh. This will allow you to automate common tasks. Perl is an alternative. There are also disk management commands which are platform-specific, for example Solaris has 'metatool' and AIX has the volume group commands. Also, you should know about /etc/system on a Sun, about 'smit' on AIX, etc.

Facing growing opposition to his economic proposals and dimming prospects that Congress will pass other parts of his agenda, President Obama told a Hispanic group in Washington Wednesday that when it comes to the issue of immigration, "I'd like to work my way around Congress."
"As I mentioned when I was at La Raza a few weeks back, I wish I had a magic wand and could make this all happen on my own," Obama told a meeting of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. "There are times where — until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again — I'd like to work my way around Congress."
As he continued, Obama conceded that "we've got laws on the books that have to be upheld." But he quickly added there are different ways to uphold the laws on the books. "You know as well as anyone that…how we enforce those laws is also important," Obama said. Last month, the administration made a major, unilateral change in immigration law enforcement when it announced that the government will not initiate deportation proceedings against illegal immigrants unless they have committed serious crimes. To critics, Obama had indeed worked his way around Congress. To the Hispanic Caucus, Obama said his new policy will "prioritize criminals who endanger our communities, not students trying to achieve the American dream."
The bigger problem, Obama said, is that sort of unilateral enforcement (or non-enforcement) only goes so far. "We live in a democracy, and at the end of the day, I can't do this all by myself under our democratic system," he said. "If we're going to do big things — whether it's passing this jobs bill, or the DREAM Act, or comprehensive immigration reform — we're going to have to get Congress to act."
This is the second time in recent months that Obama has publicly mused about going around Congress to enact immigration reform. In that speech to La Raza in July, he said that "some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own" — a prospect Obama said he found "very tempting." But the president quickly added, "that's not how our system works."
