What few people don't know is that the mother of Sunrak contacted members of the Council of Concerned Citizens and Lawrence Smith also a member of the Secret Seven Coalition and a political reform advocate, about the misconduct by the prosecutor in this case. Mr Smith started looking into the facts of this case and told me personally that he was convinced Sunrak Spencer was innocent — and that he was just ANOTHER VICTIM of the prosecutor of Crooked County Gerald B Hough.
By Editor Edison- CalPatty Press Editor for Revenge of the Ghost Wolf
It appears another innocent person SUNRAK SPENCER, and another bungled court case can be added to the record of the Gilmer County Prosecutor and the Gilmer County Circuit Court under the leadership of the not so honorable Judge Facemire. Years ago we all saw the judges TRUE COLOR during the longest running court criminal case in Gilmer County Circuit Court Case history — And that case is the well known TRAVESTY of JUSTICE case that was first brought the grand jury in 2003 but that case also went before the Supreme Court until late 2007 with a final vote of 3 to 2 and all the felony charges defeated in trial jury. In that now famous case in the history books Judge Facemire allowed what NOW is known as PERJURED TESTIMONY.
Also a title opinion brought years later…

DATE // March 07, 2019
TIME // 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
LOCATION // Fishburners
Whether you are a construction industry disruptor or an established business looking to learn new ways, come along to the Helix Insight Training.
The session will cover:
* Disruptive Trends for 2019
* Regulatory Challenges
* Risks and Rewards
One of the confronting issues we will face over the next few years is how much construction and infrastructure work will be done under the old traditional means and how much will be done through:
* new ways – like prefabrication; and
* enhanced by technology – like robots and artificial intelligence.
Innovation is not just about apps. It's about a sustainable and workable regulatory framework where new ideas are responded to with a combination of an open mind and responsible regulation and we expect to see more of this in 2019.
If you have a new product or idea of application to the construction industry, get in contact with us at Helix today for the opportunity to pitch your idea to a room full of industry in our Innovation Series for 2019.

Because I'm a bit of a hippy, I've signed up to a daily provocation called Notes from the Universe, which is a daily email from "The Universe" with a little message of positivity for the day. I know. I am that sort of Drama Teacher – sorry not sorry. This is one I received last week, and thought I would share:
When you understand, Sam, that what most people really, really want is simply to feel good about themselves, and when you realize that with just a few well-chosen words you can help virtually anyone on the planet instantly achieve this, you begin to realize just how simple life is, how powerful you are, and that love is the key.
I thought it was really pertinent to me as a teacher. What would happen to our students if we made it a priority to make them feel good about themselves? Would it make them achieve more, or even more significantly, be better people? I think it just might.

Grades and grading can be a source of angst for new and experienced teachers alike – particularly when trying to ensure that grades for students with disabilities are meaningful and support learning. Grading is just one of the topics addressed in CEC's newly released Survival Guide for New Special Education Teachers. This week, I chatted about grading with Catherine Martin and Clara Hauth, the authors of the Survival Guide. I think you'll find their insights to be helpful.
What's at the root of anxiety over grading?
Two things primarily: teacher subjectivity and lack of a clear grading policy. These things can snowball. A vague grading policy or unclear expectations can leave teachers feeling like they're guessing, or students feeling like they don't know what's expected of them. This increases anxiety for everyone.
So if we want to feel less anxious about grades, we need to make grading less subjective? How do we do that?
Well, it's important to make assessments as objective as possible. But it also involves effective lesson planning: are learning objectives and standards incorporated into the lesson plan? If a teacher knows where a lesson is going from the outset, it's much easier to plan assessments that measure progress in getting there.
You're saying to start at the end…like writing a book backwards?
Yes. It's actually called "backward design"—a term coined by Wiggins and McPighe. You start with the objectives, design assessments that reflect the objectives, then create lessons that align with the assessments.
Makes sense! It seems like anyone could benefit from information like this. Is The Survival Guide just for new teachers?
Not at all. There's so much in this book, for both new and experienced teachers. We talk about the classroom and school environment and have pulled together a lot of resources on identifying and implementing evidence-based practices. We feel confident it's a handbook no one will outgrow.
Watch for monthly installments of Off the Shelf, with Lorraine delving into new publications, chatting with authors and connecting you with the research-to-practice knowledge you need in your classroom.

The present Indian agricultural situation is no secret to anyone. Agriculture, being the primary sector of occupation in the country, ensures economic sustenance of the majority of the population. It has undergone several technological advancements in the past in order to improve its functional efficiency; and with the onset of the 21st century, agriculture in India is no longer as strenuous and laborious as it used to be. This relative difference of labouring with continuous substitution of machinery has indeed added to the frequency with which the farmers breathe their sighs of relief. And it is nothing but a boon to our heroes for them to function as the backbone of our country.
This article documents an initiative that does a similar job in terms of helping our farmers, in particular those in the dairy industry.
Promethean Power Systems is a cold chain agtech that uses its insights in science and technology to provide the dairy industry an easier access to the milk chilling process, before their delivery into households all over.
Being one of a kind, Promethean Power Systems has a unique journey from its conception to the success it enjoys now. Let us have a look at the journey and learn how we too can conceive something similar to help our farmers.
From Boston to Pune
Milk cooling set up in Maharashtra along with farmers.
The idea to build and expand the company was born in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston. It was when a bunch of students including the CEO Jiten Ghelani decided to work on the conservation and utilisation of solar energy for a bigger cause that the future of this company formed its initial frame.
The concept was to use solar power generator to construct a unit speeding up the chilling process of milk and dairy products; though later it changed its mode of power generation to thermal power. Jiten says, "We thought India needed and could do with solar energy for agricultural advancements though we realised it wasn't possible eventually due to a number of drawbacks. We then switched to thermal energy and built a storage set up backed by it." He mentions the increase in efficiency was a significant add-on to the project post this power switch.
Thermal power storage system is relatively cleaner and cheaper, he says, and hence the preference.
How this initiative became a pillar of strength for many farmers
Set up in 2010 by Sam White and Sorin Grama, Pune-based Promethean Power Systems now is an organisation that plays a pivotal role in making sure the milk is chilled within the first three hours of its extraction. Undergoing a couple of challenges in the year 2012, it came back with better plausible working ideas which were based on constant customer feedbacks and suggestions in the next two years. Post meeting all the demands, it has helped pivotal dairy companies such as Hatsun, Heritage groups, Mother Dairy, and Amul India run their companies. They began their journey in Tamil Nadu with Hatsun being their first client. And within the next year, the company was covering multiple villages in states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and other southern states. Apart from our county, the company also covers nations such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Jiten mentions, "Fonterra in Sri Lanka and BRAC in Bangladesh procure milk from rural villages without the need for costly diesel generators. We have now installed over 600 systems in India which have helped improve incomes for over 25,000 farmers." Now that's quite an achievement!
The success in terms of achieving goals conceptualised is also added by its recognition by NASA through the NASA LAUNCH energy innovator award in 2011. It was also with the victory in the competition conducted by USAID (United States Agency for International Development) called Feed the Future Partnering for Innovation with regard to economic provisions in agricultural fields all the over the world. It had a hundred applicants and the company outdid them all. Promethean Power Systems aims at helping 3,000 farmers of Bangladesh in the next 18 months.
A little something in return for the parent nation – a cause with history of emotions
This company might seem an example of a quintessential foreign investment in the Indian market – something almost every company is engaging in for monetary benefits – but it has a history too. The idea goes back to the root causes rather obstacles and struggles faced by Jiten's own grandparents who were farmers in Gujarat back in the day. It was their experience in agriculture that helped Jiten realise the hardship of agriculture as an occupation for people in the country. He wanted to help his parent nation develop with the help of his knowledge gained in the west as in Boston. And hence the idea was born with a passion to provide in return to the nation he has his roots in advancement. This generosity now in the present is a helping hand to all our brothers keeping the primary sector of our country alive.
Milk cooling set up in Tamil Nadu, also their first venture in the country.
He says, "It's a win–win situation for both the farmers and us as we're able to ensure not only less spoilage of dairy produced but also regular income for the farmers which was the actual goal." Indeed it is so!


text: Starkblack #1 Posted April 16, 2019 I think Sansa's plotting with Cersei to betray Dany (or pretend to), secure safety and power for what's left of her people and let Arya scratch that last name off her list. Sophie Turner mentioned taking a scroll from the GOT set on Good Morning America and that it's a huge spoiler. Assuming the scroll is mail come by raven, and not something Sam finds in WF archives (because why would anything there be relevant to Sansa's character?) where would RavenMail come from save King's Landing, the Iron Islands (where Yara's headed or already arrived) or from Melissandre? KL is the only place that make sense for Sansa's storyline. That leads me to think there is some correspondence between Cersei and Sansa. We know that WF is on fire and likely destroyed after Ep3, so where will the survivors go? South, to KL. Especially if they're going with Dany to claim her throne. Cersei's not going to let her enemies come into her land supporting a Targaryen queen with Dragons. So what if Sansa made an arrangement to grant Northerners safety/Independence for the North (maybe even the Riverlands if WF is no more) in exchange for Dany? Here are the things in S8E1 that lend to this theory for me: Arya/Jon reunion — "she's the smartest person I know. We're fighting for this family. Remember that you're family." If we're looking at it through a lens of Sansa playing the game of thrones and Arya being her right-hand man, it starts to look like Arya giving Jon a subtle warning. I think she's basically saying "Sansa made a deal to save this family, which includes you so don't be mad later when you find out." Tyrion/Sansa reunion — This scene really just establishes that Sansa's smarter than she was and knows more about Cersei at this point than Tyrion does. Sansa's posturing/dislike of Dany -- If she's setting Dany up or pretending to for the sake of Cersei and Qyburn's spies, why even pretend to like her? The news about the Glovers just reinforces that she's the Lady of WF and reads all the mail I think Cersei being happy that the Wall came down is about her plans being put into motion We also have an exchange about Cersei between Sansa and Dany in the trailer for Ep2. Cersei now knows Sansa didn't kill Joffrey, so maybe she'd be open to an arrangement. I'm sure she plans to betray Sansa and the Northerners but given Sansa's interest in Arya's kill list last season, I feel like Sansa's planning to let her little sis get her Needle on as payback for everything. (Which would be an interesting setup for CleganeBowl: Mountain goes after Arya and the Hound steps in -- but I digress.) To what end though? Maybe the Starks had a family chat before Jon got back and they all know Jon isn't their brother, but cousin and heir to the throne. Sansa's "you know I do," line could mean she's about to be a Kingmaker. She sells out Dany (or at the very least pretends to to Cersei who I'm sure has eyes in WF and Sansa's dislike of Dany is a ruse), kills Cersei, put Jon (and maybe Dany) on the throne and becomes the Lady of Winterfell, or Queen, or the Hand? Or maybe she has the throne tossed into the Blackwater Bay. I don't know but I absolutely think Sansa is making moves in the background like Cersei and LF taught her. This theory doesn't account for Bran, AotD, NK, the Lannister men or Jon's agency as a person lol, but poke holes in it! It's kinda crackpot but is any of this plausible to you guys?

It was supposed to be one of the games of the season. One of those big nervy matches towards the end of the campaign that could've seen Juventus lose points and allow Napoli to end the black and white hegemony.
However, with the ridiculous 18 (!) points separating the Old Lady from the Partenopei with just eight games to go, all this seems like science-fiction and means that Juve's clash against Milan is everything but decisive for the Scudetto race.
Despite that, the Milan game still has a significant meaning for the Bianconeri beyond the usual pride and dignity cliche that accompanies this encounter. Massimiliano Allegri's men travel to Amsterdam on Wednesday for a nostalgic first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Ajax and the tactician knows that his team cannot afford another lacklustre performance after the 2-0 defeat against Atletico in Madrid in February.
The clubhierarchy should be well aware of the need to reduce the gap between Juventus' good and bad games, as such mistakes usually prove to be fatal in Europe and damage their status in Champions League betting.
However, this has become something of a trend for the Bianconeri in recent years, as we all remember the heavy 3-0 defeat against Real Madrid in Turin that eventually saw Allegri & co. crashing out of the Champions League. Juventus almost did the impossible and were eliminated only after Michael Oliver's controversial penalty decision, but the truth is that Allegri's men were terrible in that first leg, just like they were against Atletico Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival gave the Bianconeri that extra quality, which allowed them to score three past Atleti's watertight defence and eventually qualify, but even the Portuguese Ballon d'Or winner cannot guarantee such a comeback every time. Therefore, Allegri should use the Milan game to prepare his players mentally, because Ajax's bravery and aggression can hurt any team at the moment.
Erik ten Hag's young guns are full of confidence after eliminating Real Madrid and they know that they can hurt Juventus. Especially if the Bianconeri do not have the right mindset for the tough game that awaits them at the Johan Cruijff Arena.
Leonardo Bonucci's controversial comments on the Moise Kean situation after the Cagliari game, the long list of injuries, as well as the lack of any competition for the Scudetto are all factors that could impact Juve's performance on Wednesday. That's why it is vital for Juventus to approach the Milan game with maximum focus, knowing that it could prove to be crucial for the outcome of the game against Ajax a few days later.
The racial abuse that Blaise Matuidi and Kean suffered at the Sardegna Arena, as well as Bonucci's remarks afterwards, mean that Juventus must show unity against Il Diavolo. On the other hand, the injury situation requires Allegri to be smart in his starting XI selection, as the tactician should find the right balance between resting some players and giving precious minutes to those who haven't played much lately.
This is going to be far from easy considering that Mad Max needs to avoid any further injury risks and should also respect the quality of the opposition, as the Rossoneri have plenty to play for and despite their own injury issues are still a dangerous side.
In fact, Allegri is probably hoping that Milan's ambitions for a top four finish would force Gennaro Gattuso's men to be aggressive and try to press from the start. This is how Ajax play at home and if the Rossoneri try to do that, it would be the perfect preparation for the Bianconeri.
While this would undoubtedly be hard to perform in Turin, it might be Milan's best choice for success in the game and it might prove to be exactly what Juventus need. It is no secret that the Bianconeri tend to struggle against physical sides that press high up the pitch, as their defeats against Atleti and Genoa showcased that.
"We're going to need possession to do well in the Champions League and we showed that against Manchester United and Atletico Madrid". Those were Miralem Pjanic's words shortly after the Cagliari game and they fully explain why Juve struggle against sides like Genoa or Atletico - they can't keep enough possession in most cases.
Ajax are far less physical than both Atleti and Il Grifone, which gives the Old Lady a huge advantage, but the Dutch outfit arguably possess more speed and technical quality than the Spaniards and Genoa. On the other hand, Milan have a bit of everything, so if Gattuso adopts such an approach, the main goal for Juventus on a technical level should be to keep possession.
Despite their comfortable lead at the top of the Serie A table, the situation in the Bianconeri camp is far from perfect. Beyond the technical and tactical aspects that Juventus need to prepare for Ajax during the Milan game, Allegri should also pay special attention to the mental and psychological aspect of the game.

Dax and Hayes-too cool for for school or parents on the lift and the Alpine Slide this year
Asher and Porter mastered the Bungee Tramp

So as you see there is plenty to keep us occupied. These were just a few of the five gazillion pictures we took this year. In the measely ten years I've been we've also been known to fish a little, hike a little and even craft a little. There has been story time, birthday parties, golfing, x boxing and girl's Spa Day. You name it, the Geldmacher's have tried it. While all of this stuff is totally fun, my favorite part is that we mostly do a whole lot of hanging out with family we don't see very often. And of course we engage in a TON of my most favorite pastime- eating. But as I try not to take any pictures of my huge seven-months-along self, let alone with food in my mouth, you'll just have to use your imagination for that part. Trust me, it tastes fabulous, it's just not pretty.
And that's what you do at Snowbird in the Summertime.

Marvin Gaye may have been signing about the issues of his day in "What's going on?," but if he saw the Mississippi State-Auburn game on Saturday night, he would've shown soulful concern about the Bulldogs offense. People are calling the 3-2 loss historical. I'd agree, but would further categorize it as a tragedy.
I can't put all the blame on offensive coordinator Woody McCorvery. The Bullldog offensive line was horrific, Wesley Carroll looked inexperienced, and ultimately, a performance such as the one put on by Mississippi State falls on the shoulders of Sylvester Croom.
Before I go any further……Mississippi State Defense = A+^10 – Yep, they were that good. Credit the strength and conditioning coaches too, led by Ben Pollard; the defensive dawgs never gave up. The punt coverage portion of special teams also gets a gold star, punter Blake McAdams did more than his part….can't exactly say the same for the MSU return team.
I must give credit to the Auburn Tiger defense as well. The Tiger D-Line simply over-powered the Bulldogs' pass protection. I can't blame the coaches for trying to be creative play to their o-line weaknesses by having Carroll roll out so much, unfortunate that it was part of the initial game plan.
But even on the run, attempting West Coast dinks and dunks, (many times well short of the first down line on 3rd and whatever) Carroll was limited to bad decisions and the occasional crisp pass when given the chance. Spreading the blame around, however, I saw some less than stellar routes run by Bulldog receivers.
Questionable Calls
4-1, Auburn 37, 10:10 left in the 3rd (start of drive)
I don't mind going for it here. I don't even mind the pass attempt (of course the struggling o-line was factored in), but it was simply not a cleanly run play. Brandon Henderson ran a poor route, and Carroll's timing was off.
4-1, Auburn 41, 7:06 left in the 4th (start of drive)
Well, it was gut check time, and one would expect the Bulldogs to allow for Christian Ducre to pound it through. The players just didn't make plays, so I still don't blame the coaching decision.
4-15, MSU 48, 4:48 left in the 4th (start of drive)
This is where i have a problem. I understand that the defense had been on the field a ton at that point of the game. But give them some credit, at least they were playing with the pride it takes to get yet another big stop (they did end up getting the ball back as a gift turnover). I might understand if Mississippi State needed a touchdown for the win, but a field goal sufficing makes punting the right call.
Quotes from the Press
Defense tries, but can't win all by itself, NE Mississippi Daily Journal – Brad Locke
"We were one play away all night," said Carroll, who was 10 for 25 for 78 yards and the pick. "We had them where we wanted them. We just didn't make the play."
"I don't blame anybody," the coach said. "The coaches are coaching hard, the kids are working hard. The thing about offense is, if one guy makes a mistake, you've got problems."
"I thought the ball was slightly under-thrown, and I thought B-Mac should've gone up and gotten the ball," Croom said. "Last week down in end zone he did great job on the fade route. If he goes up to catch the ball, at worst it's going to be an incomplete pass."
- It's never good to be "one play away all night," because all those 'one plays' add up to an insurmountable sum.
- Don't blame anybody….blame EVERYbody, except the defense and Blake McAdams.
- If Brandon McRae has any next level aspirations, he makes that play.
It's not the end of the world for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. To sum it up, the offense has hit rock bottom and can only go up from here. Somebody needs to have an intervention with someone in the coming week, if not everyone with themselves. The Dawgs will get a chance to flex their SEC muscle against a weak Georgia Tech team from the questionable ACC….'regroup' is the word of the day.
Meanwhile, the guys at Track 'Em Tigers are taking the 'win is a win' attitude that I would be having a healthy dose of had the roles been reversed.

Disney Pixar CARS: Disney Store Frank CARS Tractor Tipping Set – The Count?
"Unixed" sends along an interesting photo of the outside cardboard of his Disney Store Frank CARS Frank-Tractor Tipping Set …
As you'll note, there's only one set inside each box so it looks like the initial shipment consisted of about 1,500 Frank 6-pack's. Thanks, "Unixed."
While it reads sold out for now, more are coming – not sure when so keep checking the page HERE. As noted, another 500-700 seemed to appear on Friday – now SOLD OUT again.
Hopefully it's before Christmas but the Disney Stores probably thought 2,200-2,500 (?) would last them through the season (it's unclear if the Disney Store NYC Times Square got a different allotment or separate of the 1,500 + 700 but in any case, they seem sold out also) … so in all likelihood, it seems that the restock won't show up until after Christmas since pretty much everything that normally shows up for Christmas is in stores now (in-store might mean stuck in the backroom because there is so much stuff stacked up they can't get to it but it's there – of course, in this case, it's irrelevant since the only actual store to get it is the NYC Times Square store which seems emptied out thanks to intrepid T5ers who have scoured every shelf there. 🙂 ).
But feel free to call and check every few minutes 🙂 … (212) 626-2910 and ask if they have Item No. 6172036510093P – CARS Tractor Tipping Set.

Holliston Police Serving Lunch Instead of Serving Tickets
The annual Holliston Police Department Lunch was well attended at the Holliston Senior Center. The new parking lot could not accommodate about a 150 visitors. It was a terrific turkey lunch from Out Post Farm with a piece of pie for dessert! Many smiling faces were had including town administrator Jeff Ritter and all three selectmen. The police were out in full force serving our senior residents. Such a nice way of connecting with the senior population!!
A full house at the center.
Holliston PD was in full force.
Cars were parked out on Goulding street!

The First Day of School ~ Newburgh NY 2012
Have you noticed a few of the leaves have been changing from green to orange and red lately? Driving down the road, I have seen a few here and there. The signs are creeping around the corner lately that summer is almost over and before you know it… back to school time again for the Hudson Valley. The days are getting shorter and the long, lazy days of summer are close to being history. Now it's time to open the history books to open a new chapter. School will be in session before you know it. Are you ready?
Wondering just when those dates are? Maybe your kids already know, but don't want to share.. Newburgh residents can be in one of three school districts. The schedules are here so you don't need to ask the kids.
Newburgh Enlarged City School District starts school on September 10th 2012 this year. Rather late, but I'm sure that the students are only too happy to delay this day. This Start and End Time Scheduleis also helpful.
Wallkill School District starts on September 5th 2012
Bus Schedule Wallkill Schools for 2012-13
Marlboro School District starts on September 5th 2012
Bus Schedules for Marlboro Schools 2012-13
I wish the Best of Success to all the students. May this be your best year yet!
And with about two weeks of time left…enjoy the last of beautiful summer days. The summer is not over yet!

Ranks are grades that are obtained by completing a stage or act in the games (sometimes mini stages), and represent how well the player participated in that particular event. The rank he/she receives is determined by how many Rings that are collected throughout the stage, how fast the stage is cleared, the number of enemies defeated and other such varying scores.
Ranks made their first appearance in Sonic Adventure 2. Since then, ranks have appeared in the majority of Sonic games released to date, but sometimes the scores are represented by stars instead of ranks (such as in Sonic and the Black Knight). Since Sonic Rush, S-Rank became the highest rank, replacing A, and it has been this way in the most recent Sonic games that use letters for ranks. The exception to this rule is within the Sonic Riders series, where the highest rank received is an X and the lowest rank received is a C. The order of rank grade was A to E starting with Sonic Adventure 2, and S to D starting from Sonic the Hedgehog 2006. However, in the PS3/Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed, E returned as the lowest rank. In Sonic Colors, the D rank was the lowest rank that could be received; this is the same in Sonic Generations.
Rank list (in order)
- X Rank: Violet colored (Sonic Riders games only)
- SS Rank: Brass colored (Sonic Riders games only)
- S Rank: Crystal colored/Platinum colored/Gold colored
- A Rank: Gold colored/Purple colored/Red colored
- B Rank: Silver colored/Red colored/Orange colored
- C Rank: Bronze colored/Yellow colored/Green colored
- D Rank: Steel colored/Green colored/Light Blue colored
- E Rank: Rusty metal colored/Blue colored
- F Rank: Purple colored (This was supposed to appear in Sonic Heroes, but it later got scrapped, so the E Rank is currently the lowest of them all.)

Sonic Lost World
Sonic doesn't add any comments to his Ranks; instead he spins around and gives a "Thumbs Up" depending on the Rank received.
- In the Wii/PS2 versions of Sonic Unleashed, the rankings went from S to C, although the D and E ranks were present in the Xbox 360/PS3 versions. Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes ranked A to E while Sonic 06 and Sonic Generations ranked S to D.
- In Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors, the ranking is given by the time score and most likely rings and your score. However, in Sonic Generations, even if you have at least one ring or just a small amount, you will get an S rank; but only when you don't lose a life in the stage. This means that in Sonic Generations, the ranking is given by time.
- However, an orange bar counting as rings will extend off of the green bar (time).
- In the PS3/Xbox 360 versions of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and Chip look directly at the ranking. Depending on what the rank is, they will behave in a certain way. They will get annoyed if the rank is bad (E or D), remain calm if the rank is average (C or B) and will dance for joy if the rank is good (A or S).
- Receiving an E in any act causes the results BGM to be very distorted.
- Since Sonic Colors, after getting any rank, Sonic will do a pose for the player, but only when the time to interact with the results screen stops. In Sonic Generations, after getting your score results and your rank, Sonic will do a pose, perform a move or just dance (depending of what rank the player gets).
- Rankings were supposed to be given in Sonic Adventure as well, but the concept was scrapped during development time for unknown reasons, howewer the system was implemented into the next game, Sonic Adventure 2 and almost every other Sonic game released after.

The ability of the Open Source Initiative to steward the Open Source Definition and police the use of the term open source as it relates to software is in doubt following the confirmation that the corporate status of the non-profit company has been suspended in California. What does it all mean?
The OSI's corporate status is suspended?
According to the website of California Secretary of State, Debra Bowen, yes.
When did this happen?
We'Äôre not sure at this stage. We were alerted to the news via a comment left by Thomas Lord on the Simon Phipps'Äô blog. Wikipedia indicates that the status has been suspended since at least September 2, 2009…

Three Kingdoms Vol 1 by Wei Dong Chen and Xiao Long Liang
So this book recently found it's way to our shelfs ('cause I asked it to) and I'm hopefully right because when I tried to renew it there was already a hold on it.
I guess I felt like our collections kind of lacking in cultural diversity and also this one time while I was getting my undergrad degree I took a Chinese culture course and it was super interesting, despite the prof being a terrible teacher.
So, the Three Kingdoms is based on the ancient text The Three Kingdoms which explores some semi-mystical, semi-historical events that occurred in the small kingdoms and provinces that would eventually become China. This graphic novel leans a little closer to the battling and less of the history-ing but it's still pretty well rounded. There are paragraphs at the beginning of every chapter that summarize the events so everyone's on the same page and helpful character guides. REALLY HELPFUL character guides.
There's a lot about this story that was really interesting to me. I loved the three characters who are kind of the main ones, and their sworn brother relationship. I liked the focus on the family, particular the sons. I think it did a pretty good job explaining the history in the paragraphs.
But it suffered from too many characters. Like Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time and most Shakespeare plays I felt like I needed a chart to explain who was who and who worked for who. Which kind of frustrates me.
One the one hand, I get it. You're trying to take an old historical text that just has lots and lots and lots and lots of characters, but that's kind of where it falls through. Like 11 main characters, most of whom are warlords makes it really hard to give them all unique, likable or defining characteristics. And without those, what's the point really?
So it was kind of better as a historical experience and not awesome as a literary one. Which is maybe okay. Maybe that's enough.
Last movie I watched: Still Hotel Transylvania
Last TV show I watched: V Mars I think. SO GOOD!

4 – Minskin
The Minskin is a dwarf variety of cat and is a cross between the Sphynx and the Munchkin. Possessing huge eyes and ears, the coat of the Minskin comes not only in a variety of colors, but 'hairiness' as well: Minskins can be fully-coated cats, hairless, or fur-pointed (hair on feet, tail, and ears). It might be said that the Minskin makes up for its short legs by having an exceptionally long tail; this tail can actually be longer than the cat's body.
In addition to all its unique physical features, the Minskin is an affectionate and lively little cat that is great around children and enjoys being around other pets, even dogs. This is a very healthy breed of cat, but it does need a weekly bath. Because the Minskin has either no hair, or very sparse hair, oils can build up on the skin, and these will need to be removed in the tub. Start this while your Minskin is still a kitten – it will probably come to accept this as simply a part of life.

Operation Round-Up Program
Operation Roundup
Operation Roundup is an innovative program designed for Grundy Electric members to donate their pennies to the GEC Community Foundation Inc. Member donations to the GEC Community Foundation are used to fund grants, not revenue for Grundy Electric. When a member agrees to participate in Operation Round Up, they are donating pennies each month to the Foundation by rounding up their electric bill. These pennies are used each quarter to fund grants to schools and other civic organizations. The Foundation awards grants to area schools, civic organizations, and other eligible entities within the Cooperative's service territory. Local grants consist of books, mini science labs, projectors, and graphing calculators each month. Grants have also been awarded to county health departments, senior centers and other types of local community projects.
- Electric bills will be "rounded up" to the next highest dollar each month.
- The monthly donation may be as little as a penny or as much as 99 cents.
Participating members will contribute an average of just over $6 per year. Members are automatically included in the program. However, a member can simply contact our office if they opt not to participate, or choose to discontinue contributions.
For additional information regarding this great benefit, please contact Peggy Boulware at email@example.com or extension 23.

CAT Exam: Scoring 99+ Percentile in last 60 Days
A score of 99 percentile in CAT is a pretty ambitious aim in itself. Adding to that the time constraint of 60 days and you've set the bar really high. Although difficult, it is definitely an achievable goal. But before I tell you how to accomplish this, pause whatever it is that you are doing and give yourself a big high five. You are one confident and courageous person!!
Since you have set yourself for such a challenging task, I am assuming that you are comfortable with maths and english, at least the basics. It would be a lot easier if you have good foundational understanding of these two subjects. But even if you are more comfortable in one of the two, it can be managed.
So let's not keep you away from your goal anymore and head straight into strategies for becoming a 99 percentiler in 60 days.
CAT Exam: Strategy for Day 1 to Day 20
A good place to start would be with revision of foundational mathematics and verbal subject topics from the CAT syllabus followed by solving key conceptual questions for each topic. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of correct study materials at this stage. Old school rote learning methods will not only stretch this stage from 20 days to forever by making you do redundant work but also make you miss out on key conceptual points around which CAT often tricks even its most deserving aspirants.
For example, Eckovation's crash course program covers the entire quant syllabus into 11 topics without any loss of substance. With fewer concepts and methods to remember, candidates can be a lot more efficient during actual test-taking. Also, instead of solving a 100 random questions, solving fewer (read not more than 20) questions that touch key conceptual points is a smarter way to go about things.
CAT Exam: Strategy for Day 20-40
It is about time that you start solving more complicated, CAT-type problems. However, it is important to understand what exactly a "tough" CAT problem is. A tough CAT problem is nothing more than a question that requires you apply more than one basic concept (which you studied during day 1 – day 20) simultaneously or in succession.
A good place to start this practise would be from the question collection of a good CAT training institute (remember, the quality matters much more than quantity) and then move to CAT previous year questions.
CAT Exam: Strategy for Day 40-60
The last 20 days should be dedicated to test-taking practice and relaxation. If you have been honest during the first two phases, you would be naturally quite composed and stress-free now. Select a good mock CAT and write one test daily followed by rigorous analysis of your strengths and weaknesses.
Eckovation's Test series comes with instant feedback for your test-taking performance on all three fronts that is, subject-wise, speed as well as accuracy. So, you can relieve yourself of the responsibility of doing manual analysis of your performance and maybe take an additional test every day. Keep a tab on the performance parameters and make sure that they improve to match the CAT requirements and then stay constant.
Before wrapping up, there is one more thing worth mentioning: Once you have set your target, do not turn back. Doubts might creep in about the plausibility of success (99 percentile is a big deal after all) and try to discourage you from putting efforts. But do not succumb to them. Stay consistent and committed to your goal and all will definitely be well.

Designed by famed architect Frank Gehry, OOMA's reflective metal pods sprout between massive ancient oaks in an unlikely place- overlooking the beautiful white-sand beaches of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The museum is a tribute to George Ohr (1857-1918), the self-proclaimed 'Mad Potter of Biloxi,' and a forerunner of contemporary art through his distinctive art pottery, on view within the permanent collection.
Two years ago, as George predicted, the museum proposed a Rodrigue exhibition. However, without him here to create and design, the challenge was immense. How do we best present Rodrigue within this ultra-contemporary, high-ceilinged, single room space? How do we surprise an audience just ninety miles from New Orleans that thinks they've seen it all?
In the past, most Rodrigue museum exhibitions have been retrospectives, from Cajuns to Blue Dogs, spanning forty-five years of paintings and sculpture. It was clear from the beginning that this type of exhibition was incongruous with not only this atypical Gehry space, but also with George Rodrigue's lifelong artistic rebellion.
As has happened repeatedly since losing George in 2013, we found the solution within his art. Rodrigue's Blue Dog: Discovering Late Works on Canvas and Metal features twenty-five original artworks, many from the last year of George's life and never before on public view. Enjoy a glimpse of the exhibition in this short video for WLOX-TV Gulf Coast Weekend-
Also, a new interview, recorded live from the museum, with NPR for Mississippi Public Broadcasting, beginning at 18:19, linked here-
With more than twice the museum's previous attendance, the Rodrigue exhibition is a showstopper! Originally set to close August 15th, I'm thrilled to announce its extension, due to popular demand, through October 6, 2018.
With more than twice the museum's previous attendance, the Rodrigue exhibition is a showstopper! Originally set to close August 15th, I'm thrilled to announce its extension, due to popular demand, through October 6, 2018.
In addition, please join me at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art for a special encore Gallery Talk on Saturday, September 8, 2018 at 3:30 p.m. Surrounded by these extraordinary late Rodrigue paintings, I'll share personal stories and insights from my wondrous journey with George. A book signing follows, featuring The Other Side of the Painting (UL Press).
I also look forward to visiting Biloxi for education outreach in partnership with the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art and the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts, September 11-13. For information, please contact OOMA's Education Director, Pamela Cevallos, at 228-374-5547, ext. 108 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Finally, none of this would have happened without the dedicated, enthusiastic OOMA staff, lead by Director Kevin O'Brien, nor without the passion and hard work of everyone associated with Rodrigue Studios, especially our Curator of Exhibitions, Dana Holland-Beickert of Memphis, Tennessee. With tremendous thanks to all of you, on behalf of myself, everyone who experiences this exceptional and unprecedented installation, and above all, the brave, creative genius, George Rodrigue.

When Pershing Field Memorial Park was opened in 1922 and dedicated in 1923, it was intended to commemorate the soldiers from Jersey City lost during World War I. Today the park also includes memorials to members of the armed forces in America's subsequent military engagements.
The park is named for World War I hero General John J. Pershing, also befitting its association with the previous use of the grounds as a World War I military training ground. The prominent eight-foot bronze painted-gold memorial statue known as "America Triumphant" by James Novelli (1885-1940) was unveiled at the opening on July 4, 1922. The figure dons a cloak of stars and stripes, her head a wreath of glory, and folded arms a sword and shield.
Novelli was born In Italy, emigrated to the United States with his family, but returned to Italy for his art education. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Rome in 1908, Novelli found gainful employment with the demand of war monuments after World War I. In a web site essay, Josephine Murphy of City University of New York and author of Novelli, A Forgotten Sculptor describes the opening event for the park: "The dedication [sic] ceremony took place on Independence Day, and a crowd watched in awe as an airplane circled the crowd for two hours and at timed intervals dropped a rose to the ground until 147, each one representing one man who died [from Jersey City], had made an immense bouquet at the foot of the monument" (Murphy). Although invited, General Pershing did not attend the opening ceremony but sent a letter of apology. The following year, on June 9, a grand and more formal dedication ceremony was staged.
The day's events started with a military parade, featuring the band of the Sixteenth Infantry, from West Side (now Lincoln) Park to Manhattan Avenue and onto Pershing Field. General Pershing led the dedication of the monument to Jersey City's World War I dead. His brief invocation simply stated: "I dedicate this field and monument in recognition of the boys of Jersey City who made the supreme sacrifice" (Quoted in "25,000 at Pershing Field Dedication." Troops from the Second Armed Corps followed with a military field day that included athletic events such as relay races, track and field events, military maneuvers and war games--all intent upon displaying the military preparedness of the US armed forces in the post-World War I era.
Among the dignitaries at the event were Governor George S. Silzer, US Senator Edward I. Edwards who was born in Jersey City, and Mayor Frank Hague, A. Harry Moore, and Major Gen. William C. Heppenheimer of Jersey City.
Pershing Field Memorial Park is approximately 13.5 acres and one of the largest of Jersey City's over forty municipally operated parks and playgrounds. After World War I, the city experienced a population boom, and the industrial community needed the outlet of open space for leisure and recreation. The solution was to build a park in the Jersey City Heights from a larger site intended for a reservoir, which became the adjacent Reservoir #3. The park, originally planned in 1918 as Reservoir Park, was designed by the noted landscape architect Charles N. Lowrie, responsible for Lincoln Park and the Stephen R. Gregg Park in Bayonne.
As one enters Pershing Field on Summit Avenue, there is a large arch made of reddish sandstone; it is the only remnant of the Fourth Regiment Armory building that once stood at Montgomery Street and Bergen Avenue. After the armory building was destroyed in 1927, the arch was reconstructed in Pershing Field in 1941 and later named a Jersey City designated historic site. Walking forward from the entrance is a plaque in honor of Mayor Hague and New Jersey Governor Moore from the E.K. Roosevelt Chapter of American War Mothers. Beyond the plaque and the placement of a flag pole is the bronze memorial statue.
Behind the statue is the Heights Vietnam Veterans Memorial Community Center dedicated in 1986. Other commemorative monuments to US military personnel in the service of their country found in the park are the Korean War memorial (Hudson County Chapter) dedicated on Armistice Day, November 11, 1998, and the Jersey City Vietnam Veterans memorial dedicated at a Memorial Day ceremony held on May 28, 2001.
From the Central Avenue entrance one may access a number of recreational venues for track, baseball, and tennis; there are also facilities for swimming and a skating rink. The children's playground is at the southern end of the park. Neighborhood residents frequently recall a time when they enjoyed ice skating on the infield that was flooded in the winter. The park once featured a sunken garden and bleachers that appear in postcards of the park.
Along the walking paths throughout the park are small stone markers with plaques bearing the names of veterans from World Wars I and II. Their presence gives one the sense that this section of Pershing Field has a more serious intent from the remaining recreational areas of the park.
