The Madison Community of Schools (made of up of school representatives, parents and community members) from the 9 elementary and middle schools and Madison High Schools. The cluster has over the last several years identified an articulation gap at the middle school level that has left many families in the Madison community with the decision about what to do when their student reaches 6th grade, keep them in elementary school to stay in the cluster or choice out of the cluster to 6-8 middle school. (The only cluster within the school district with this unique situation.) In June 2014, the San Diego Unified School Board of Education approved the realignment of the cluster schools to address this issue and put all of the schools within the cluster on the traditional school year schedule.
Meetings are held the second Monday of each month (excluding holidays and breaks), 5:00-6:30 pm in the library at Innovation Middle School.
The Madison Community of Schools was established in 2000 in an effort to strengthen local schools; consisting of representatives from schools that feed into Madison High School and are geographically located in the Clairemont area, community partners, and youth service agencies. These dedicated stakeholders meet monthly to develop a strategic approach to improving schools in our community and are committed to a long-term investment in improving student success.

Even in non holiday times, a recent Stress in America survey showed that 24 percent of adults report extreme stress and more than one-third of adults report that their stress increased over the past year. These adults who already feel extreme stress or increased stress may find the holiday season to be an added challenge.
If the tips above are not helpful and you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed, consult with a psychologist or other licensed mental health professional. He or she can help you identify problem areas and then develop an action plan for changing them.
Psychologists are uniquely trained to understand the connection between the mind and body. They can offer strategies as to how to adjust your goals so that they are attainable, as well as help you change unhealthy behaviors and address emotional issues.
Practicing psychologists use a variety of evidence-based treatments — most commonly, psychotherapy — to help people improve their lives. Psychologists, who have doctoral degrees, receive one of the highest levels of education of any health care professional. On average, they spend seven years in education and training after receiving their undergraduate degrees. Moreover, psychologists are required to take continuing education to maintain their professional standing.

I've been looking for this for some time and haven't had any luck. Is there some kind of formula somewhere that can convert from RGB or HSV color values to NTSC GTIA codes?
Alternatively, if someone has already brute-forced this, a table of color mappings would be quite helpful.
You're going to have to give some more info about what you're trying to do and what form you need that mapping in. The easiest thing to do is just to export a .pal file from a recent emulator that has a palette with the color settings you want, then run a standard RGB-to-indexed-color mapping algorithm. PAL files are just RGB byte triples for all 256 colors in GTIA order. There is still no one such mapping, though, as it depends on the monitor and the color adjustment on the bottom of the computer.
If for some reason you want an algorithm, it's more complicated and there's still ongoing research as to more accurate methods. Forget about HSV for this, it's a weird color encoding that has no use here. The basic method is to map a cylinder in YIQ/YUV space, with its centerline along the grayscale axis and the hue values at equally spaced angles (but not necessarily equally distributed around the whole cylinder), then a color matrix to convert YIQ/YUV to NTSC RGB, followed by an additional color correction from NTSC RGB to sRGB.
Maybe Avery could include a little tool within Altirra to allow an RGB value to be mapped to the active palette?
Edited by Wrathchild, Tue Apr 16, 2019 2:42 AM.
I'm trying to convert some color-indexed RGB images for a game I'm working on. I have a utility I wrote that generates the data bytes and color tables in a way I can use, but the color conversion has to be done by hand and my eyesight isn't up to the task.
I was hoping to have some way to convert, if only approximately, the RGB triples to the GTIA color codes. I've stumbled across some of those crazy cylinder formulas, but the principles involved are a complete mystery to me.
Wow, I even posted in that thread. I don't remember that at all. I'll check this out later. Unfortunately, I develop on a Linux machine and this isn't running with Wine. The next time I'm on Windows I'll see if this can help me, thanks.
I was hoping to have some way to convert, if only approximately, the RGB triples to the GTIA color codes.
Then, perhaps it is better to use graph2font? ( http://g2f.atari8.info/That way, all the restrictions on number of color per line are take care.
If not, the correct way is to export the pallete from the emulator and use one of many tools to map an RGB image to a given pallete, I use a command line tool " ppmquant ", but you can use Gimp or other graphic editors.
OK, I tracked down one of these palette files, and now I think I have all the tools I need for what I want to do. Thanks for the help.

Apple’s major update iOS 11.2 came up with a lot of interesting new features, and the most applauded of all the amazing features is Apple Pay Cash.
Like PayPal or Venmo, Apple Pay Cash is digital payment system that lets you send and receive money with your friends and family through iMessage. Also, you can add a digital card in your iOS Wallet app to use for purchases in your favorite stores in real life. And, that’s not the end, you are allowed to transfer money to your bank account with Apple Pay Cash. Sounds great? Cannot wait to have a try but don’t know how? Now, in this post, we will guide you how to set up and use Apple Pay Cash on your iOS 11.2/11.2.1/11.2.2 iPhone X/8/8 Plus/7/7 Plus/6s/6s Plus/6/6 plus.
Step 1: Go to Settings and click on it. Then scroll down to locate Wallet and Apple Pay and hit it.
In Wallet and Apple Pay look out for Apple Pay Cash card and follow the onscreen instructions to add your first name, last name, date of birth and last 4 digits of your social security number.
Once Apple Pay Cash card has been usefully set, you can now transfer money to your friends, pay while making purchases from stores etc. via text messages through iMessage.
After the Apple Pay Cash has been well set, let’s get start to use Apple Pay cash on iPhone now. One thing you should pay attention to is that you and the payee both need to be using Apple devices, and to have active iMessage accounts, for this to work.
Now, head over to the Messages app, open or create an iMessage with the person you want to pay.
Then tap on the Apple Pay icon in the app drawer and enter the amount you would like to pay, then hit Pay button.
After that, verify with Touch ID or Face ID, and the money is on its way.
Then he/she will receive an Apple Pay Cash popup in messages.
Note: The first time you send money over Apple Pay Cash, you need to agree to the terms and conditions before the verification.
When you set up Apple Pay Cash, some sensitive information such as your credit or debit card may be shared with the partner bank Green Dot Bank and with Apple Payments Inc. For your data security, we suggest you clean up your iPhone regularly in case of the important data leakage. To thoroughly give iPhone a clean, you can take advantage of a professional iOS cleaning tool, like Tenorshare iCareFone, which is not only capable of removing the unnecessary junk files, temp files, large files, but also erase some personal data including bank account, contacts, emails with one click so that prevent the privacy leakage. So, go get one soon and give it a try.

ON Saturday, April 13, Clwb Rygbi Dinbych president Tegid Phillips is organising the fourth in a series of president’s days.
The previous three events took the form of past players reunions and they turned out to be outstanding successes with over 300 in attendance.
The first reunion, which was for players from the 1999-2099 era, was in December 2016, with the second reunion, this time for 1977-89 players, being held in April 2017.
The 1989-99 players had their function in January 2017.
Tegid’s three year stint as president of Clwb Rygbi Dinbych draws to a close at the end of the current season.
He has decided to make this last reunion a special one with all, or as many as possible of the past players over the 42-year history of the club, being invited to the function.
Amongst those who have registered to attend are three of the players who actually played in the club’s first ever game back in 1977.
They are David Ansell Jones, John Davies and Steven Evans.
Both David and John went on to captain the club, while Steve gained representative honours when selected to play for North Wales versus the Australian Schoolboys.

“Ludvig Mack wanted to start the brewery so people would have something else to drink—all that was available was wine and hard liquor,” says Pederson about this brewery founded in 1877. “Back then it was not normal to get beer that tasted good. It was sour when you got it from Hansa in Bergen or Ringnes in Oslo. In those days you couldn’t cool it down or filter it right,” he explains.
“There wasn’t suppose to be a brewery so far north,” remembers Pederson. “An old manager I worked with told me there is nothing logical about having Mack in Tromsø,” he adds. So much for that theory: up until December 10, 2000 Mack held the title for the northernmost brewery in the world.
Though Mack technically lost its claim to fame to Nordkapp Mikrobryggeri, a microbrewery further north (in Honningsvag), the new titleholder showed true brewsmanship by naming its first beer Sorry Makk (phonetic in Norwegian for Sorry Mack). Despite being northed-out, Mack is considered a more proper brewery and is still called the northernmost brewery in the world.
Fortunately, some titles are meant to change. Mack Brewery’s unofficial men’s-only club came to a close after a 44-year-long honeymoon. On a mid-summer’s night eve in 1972, women were officially welcomed to Olhallen’s, the brewery’s pub—though it wasn’t with open arms. The deal was the men finally got urinals and new bathrooms in exchange for the right for women to beer mugs at Mack’s. Now that’s getting to the bottom of things. Skal!

Rags to riches isn’t a novel story. But, sticking by your conviction when you most need to is what this story has in store as a lesson. And this might just be one of the most inspiring stories you’ll hear and need and you know why? Because if a 65 years old man, barely living in a hand-to-mouth situation could stand strong through 1000 rejections (1009 rejections to be precise) only to finally establish a globally renowned food chain that Kentucky Fried Chicken is, then there’s nothing that is impossible. KFC owner Colonel Sanders banked on his ability to make unique and tasty chicken and that eventually led him to the big bucks.
While we’re busy in the petty disputes in our lives, a dispute between two people- Enzo Ferrari and Ferrucio Lamborghini led to the emergence of automobile Lamborghini brand, a direct competitor to Ferrari. Lamborgini, an established tractor manufacturer, found flaws in his Ferrari model which when he pointed out to Ferrari was not took into consideration. That’s when Lamborghini decided to make his own car and the rest is history.
Proving to be one of the most badass owners of any company, FedEx owner Fred Smith turned the tables around just when he was expected to give up. Spending the remainder of his bankrupt company’s money into playing Black Jack to get some funding after multiple rejections of acquisition, FedEx got some funding to operate for a few more days and went from being a bankrupt company to a delivery express. Now that’s some style, isn’t it?

Posted on September 4, 2010 September 8, 2010 by John McHugh M.D.
CyberKnife to me sounds like you are cutting something. That it is ” robotically” controlled makes me think it may be something like a robotic prostatectomy. Proton therapy sounds different from radiation therapy. Is it? ProstatRicision sounds to me like something is being cut. “Radiosurgically treating something seems to me that if you use the word “surgical” that there must be some sort of cutting going on. Using a robot to move the laparoscopic instruments to remove a prostate doesn’t seem much different from if a person was holding the laparoscopic instruments. (Whether the robot, the person using the laparoscopic instruments, or for that matter a surgeon using a knife, the prostate is removed and the consequence of that is the same regardless how or what or who takes out the prostate.) What’s a patient to do?
CyberKnife is radiation, to my knowledge there is no knife. A robotic arm guides the radiation treatment. CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery? What?
ProstaRicision is radiation. I don’t know what Ricision means….it sounds like excision, which is what surgery does.
I think protons are what are in radiation…I don’t know but I think it is just another form of radiation. To the proton therapy folks, at least they don’t make it sound like surgery.
The cartoon that I made about ” The robot got my prostate” is a sarcastic spoof about misunderstandings and myths regarding the DaVinci robot.
So……..read, take counsel in your urologist, radiation therapist, friends and family and make a decision that is right for you and for the right reasons. Don’t let the “marketization” of prostate cancer lead you down the wrong path.
In the horse race that is prostate cancer…..based on the above the surgical removal of the prostate by a surgeon utilizing the DaVinci Robot must be in the lead…..otherwise all of the other treatments would not be “implying” that there is surgery involved. And of course always remember….if a doctor, ad, website mentions cure…be wary.
One other thing….all the commercials and brochures have some guy bragging that he is back playing golf soon after a particular therapy. The rubber meets the road long after the initial treatment of prostate cancer.
In essence, from a perspective of the long-view, how someone is doing in the first two weeks of therapy is meaningless in the management of prostate cancer.
Oh…..you don’t follow? You have homework to do.
CyberKnife radiosurgery treatment for prostate cancer is rapid, effective and has no side effects, with the added benefit of being non-invasive. Since 2003, the CyberKnife Center of Miami and the CyberKnife Center of Palm Beach have been providing this high tech cancer treatment longer than any facility in South Florida.
Prostate Cancer is diagnosed in more than a quarter of a million men each year in the U.S. Treatment options in existence which are non-invasive with little to no side effects are practically none. CyberKnife treatment for prostate cancer as discussed in this video by James G. Schwade, M.D. executive director and Richard Boxer, M.D. provides an effective treatment overview. The CyberKnife treatment literally kills the cancer cells with a precisely targeted beam of radiation that does not affect surrounding tissue or organs.
According to one prostate patient recently treated Mr. Lane Crosby of Florida, “My friends were all mad that I could go out and play golf and they couldn’t after their prostate cancer treatments.” Crosby was treated in Palm Beach Gardens in 5 treatments at the CyberKnife Center of Palm Beach.
Incorporating a compact, lightweight linear accelerator mounted on a robotic arm, the CyberKnife provides unparalleled flexibility in targeting tumors and lesions. Advanced image guidance technology tracks patient and target position during treatment, ensuring sub millimeter accuracy. The CyberKnife with its Dynamic Tracking Software is cleared by the FDA to provide radiosurgery for lesions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated. The CyberKnife has often been used to radiosurgically treat otherwise untreatable tumors or inoperable tumors. The system treats tumors at body sites unreachable by other stereotactic systems.
So, I might not have to buy your book.
in 2002 or 2003 when I was diagnosed, I couldn’t qualify for surgery. I went for a 2nd opinion at USC. No deal. So it was radiation and Lupron for me. Now, this year I have to add Kasadex. I’ve graduated from a urologist to an oncologist, and keep crossing my fingers on every PSA test.
I’ve heard about NanoKnife procedures before, but CyberKnife is new to me. As someone who has had to deal with chemotherapy before (my grandmother had cancer a few years ago), I think a minimally invasive procedure like these would sound like a great option. While the “marketization” might not be the best thing to focus on, like you mentioned, I still think it worth looking into every option.

Last night, I spent a good chunk of my time brooding over how much I hate California.
This happens every year right around this time. It's been cold forever. It takes a million years to get the kids out the door because of all the layers, and every evening each kid has to lay out not just their school attire upstairs, but by the front door I make them lay out their snow pants, snow boots, hat, and gloves or mittens, because if they are missing a single one of those things the school will not allow them out the door for recess. This, of course, makes perfect sense, as another of the school's policies is that if it is above zero degrees, those kids are going outside. Because I love that our kids get regular recess times, I love this rule, even if it does occasionally make me question why we have more than one kid (SO MANY GLOVES. SO MANY MITTENS. SO MANY HATS. SO MANY BOOTS.), but that is what winter does to you: it makes you start mentally paring down on how many children you should have. It is a cruel, merciless time.
Just to be clear, I don't hate California in actuality. (I think.) Although the number of people I personally know from that state can be counted on just one hand, every one of them is lovely. The one time I visited California, it was nice.
It's the idea of California that I hate. The always warm, always sunshiney, all the people who live there squeal and huddle into their parkas when the temperature drops to 50 degrees, oh, and all they eat are salads- that California is positively loathsome. Particularly when you've been living under near-constant cloud cover for what feels like weeks.
Again, I know: California is a big state. There's major variety in topography, weather, cultures, etc, depending on where you're at. And if it's just the warm places I want to stab with my abundant supply of icicles, why not Florida? The Gulf coast? The southwest?
And this winter hasn't even been that bad! Way less snow than normal, and there for a week or two we had highs above freezing most days! It was like some kind of (global warming) miracle!
I'm telling you, I know the whole thing doesn't make sense. But man... California. I hate that guy.
Back to no clouds today: Do you know what that means? DO YOU?
YES! THE SUN! AND THIS ABSOLUTELY DESERVES ALL CAPS!
As soon as I saw that the sun did not hate us, that it had merely been hidden by the trailer-park-swing-set-clouds, my spirits lifted. I also felt this strange sensation where the light touched my shoulder- why, it was warmth! As it turns out, the sun makes you warm!
I did the only sensible thing, and took myself right on over to the forest preserve, where I traipsed hither and yon in that sunshine, the same sunshine that made the snow all sparkly and reminded me that I like the feel of crunchy, ice-crusted snow underfoot, and the feel of cold air in my lungs, and the silence that winter brings as all the sensible people are driven inside. The presence of the sun made it feel at least twenty degrees warmer than it has been in weeks, although a look at my phone showed me that the perhaps the sun is not to be completely trusted.
Almost every person that walked through the doors of library today immediately exclaimed, "The sun is out!" or "Can you believe that sun?" and the few that didn't were promptly reminded by me or my co-workers that it is risen! It is risen, indeed! Hallelujah!
If any of those conversations sound sad, well, it's probably because they kind of are, but hey- the sun was out today!
But I still hate California.

Two months ago, I announced that I’m running to be a New Westminster school trustee. Since then, I’ve learned a lot from sweaty evenings knocking on doors: the dewy look on my face is actually kind of flattering, comfortable shoes make the hills of New West slightly more manageable, and people really care about our schools.
Community starts in schools. I want to foster and encourage community building in New West schools and this idea has been at the forefront of my campaign. My platform commitments are based on my experiences growing up in the public school system in New West and reflect the opportunities that I see to champion inclusive and supportive schools for all.
Changing how we talk about and support mental health in schools is one of my biggest priorities. We need to start destigmatizing what is one of the most universal human experiences. Each time I bring this up with folks I meet at community events or on the doorstep, discussions about mental health really resonate. I’m encouraged to see that what I believe in is what the community values.
We need to increase support services for students and families through peer-to-peer support programs and safe spaces in schools; tools, skills, training and resources for students to manage and cope with mental health issues; and additional training and support for staff. All of these ideas are affordable and would make a huge difference to the lives of students, families and the overall community.
Growing up as a first-generation Canadian, my biggest challenge was balancing and navigating two competing cultural realities. There were a lot of things that I could never talk about or never knew how to do. I experienced stress, pressure, and grief that could have been preventable.
I want to initiate steps that move away from a one-size fits all approach, and toward one that can be adapted to the diverse lived experiences of our students and their families. To make this a reality, we need inclusive policymaking that is culturally accessible, available, accommodating, accepting, and affordable. This also flows over to another commitment of mine: increasing transparency and engagement, particularly with new immigrants and working class families. How do schools become welcoming community spaces for those who have traditionally never felt like they belonged? Let’s ask them and let’s adapt.
My commitments reflect the foundational aspects of who I am. I am here to bring creative approaches and a fresh perspective to ensure we have inclusive schools.

The top 25 hedge fund managers took home an average of $1 billion each last year, according to Les Leopold. What would that buy in terms of education?
A Houston foundation created by a billionaire hedge fund manager who began his career as a trader for Enron would finance part of the proposed contract between DCPS and the Washington Teachers' Union. The Laura and John Arnold Foundation would provide $10 million of the $64.5 million Rhee has assembled to pay for teacher raises and performance bonuses under the tentative agreement announced this week.
While a couple of the names in the private funding mix, Eli and Edythe Broad and the Walton Family Foundation, are highly recognizable brands in the world of educational philanthropy, the Arnolds are relatively new players. Their IRS Form 990 for 2008 lists a $5 million donation to Baylor College of Medicine and another $5 million to Texas Children's Hospital. Published reports say they provided $10 million for a major expansion of the KIPP and YES public charter schools in Houston.
Their money for the teachers' contract would be limited to underwriting the merit pay program that Rhee plans to initiate this fall, according to Cate Swinburn, president and executive director of the D.C. Public Education Fund, the non-profit that will manage the private grants for DCPS. The same restriction applies to the $10 million pledged by Broad. The $44.5 million from the Walton and Robertson foundations could be used for both bonuses and the 20 percent salary increase that is also built into the contract.
The Arnold Foundation's executive director, Natasha Kamrani, is former executive director of the Houston office of Teach for America, the organization where Rhee began her educational career.
If the contract is approved by union members and the D.C. Council, District teachers will be underwritten in part by one of the more remarkable business stories of the last few years. Arnold, 35, is the second youngest multi-billionaire in the U.S., behind Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, according to Fortune. His hedge fund, Centaurus Energy, which manages more than $5 billion in assets, has never returned less than 50 percent in seven years of business. Hired by Enron out of Vanderbilt, he became a star trading natural gas contracts. When the historic scandal brought Enron down--Arnold had nothing to do with it--he founded Centaurus. Fortune said he earned $1 billion a few years ago by betting that natural gas prices would go down, and they did.
A phone mssage to his foundation Thursday was not returned.

Picked a red one. Ruby’s her name. Got her at Christmas, 2013. She’s beautiful and soft with very sharp teeth. And she has to poop or pee all the time. So 5 or 6 times during the night she has to go outside. In the dead of winter. Every night. 5 or 6 times.
And she has to go to the vet every 3 or 4 weeks for all those puppy shots. In the dead of winter. Did you know that the winter of 2013/2014 had the second most snow on record in our area? But the shots are important so we do it. And we watch for swelling and other reactions to the shots as the vet suggested. Don’t you know, on Superbowl Sunday after the game, her nose is swollen and you can’t touch it. It’s 11pm on Sunday night and we don’t know what to do. I’m not a vet. So we do the next best thing and call our neighbor. She has a puppy too. She’s not a vet either. But together we decide it’s not urgent so we wait till the morning. What’s another sleepless night?

Concept review is the process of early consultation with the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) to help you develop project plans consistent with historic preservation standards. If you are planning a major project on a historic property, you are strongly encouraged to use this process.
What steps does concept review involve?
Concept review (or conceptual review) allows you to get comments from HPRB at an early stage of project planning. You can make design revisions and secure concept approval before spending the time and money needed to prepare the working drawings for a building permit application. Concept review also allows Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) and the public to comment during an early design phase, when concerns can be more easily resolved.
Why file for concept review?
To obtain concept review, you file an application with general project plans. The Historic Preservation Office (HPO) gives you initial comments on the project to help ensure that it meets preservation standards. You then present the project at an HPRB meeting, where HPO gives a staff report and the public can participate. The Board discusses the project and gives you its recommendations at the meeting.
If your project is consistent with preservation standards and there are no public objections, you may not need to make a presentation for HPRB to act on your case.

Update: Tad Barbee placed third in the World Powerlifting Championships in Moscow, Russia this month with a 584 pound squat, 473 pound bench press and 600 pound deadlift. Congratulations Tad and Team USA on this incredible accomplishment.
Strength comes in many forms: character, skills, mental, spiritual and, of course, physical.
Nuclear Security Officer Geromy “Tad” Barbee simply owns strength in all its forms.
While his day job is working as a highly trained security officer at Catawba Nuclear Station, Barbee is also a champion powerlifter.
At the American Powerlifting Federation’s Equipped National Powerlifting Championships in June, he set a world record in bench press (473 pounds); a national deadlift record (627 pounds); and eight state records in bench press, deadlifts and squats. His national titles qualified him to compete as a member of Team USA at the World Powerlifting Championships in Moscow, Russia, in Novenber.
To put those numbers into perspective, consider that Arnold Schwarzenegger weighs 249 pounds, so Barbee bench pressed one-and-a-half Schwarzeneggers. And deadlifted nearly 63 10-pound bags of potatoes at the same time!
Short in stature, but large in muscles and personality, 39-year-old Barbee began weightlifting as a high-school freshman. He wrestled during the fall semester, but started lifting in January, maxing 95 pounds in his first bench-press attempts. By the end of that year, he’d hit 300 pounds, and eventually set the bench-press record of 420 pounds at Crest High School in Shelby, N.C.
After high school, Barbee served in the U.S. Army for five years as a military policeman. Not interested in a career in law enforcement, he worked in construction before applying for a security position at Catawba Nuclear Station York County, S.C. He joined the team in 2005.
Barbee only started powerlifting three years ago. Previously, he had competed solely in bench-press competitions.
Barbee has never lost a competition since. In fact, he has never even come in second place.
He explains the difference between weightlifting and powerlifting this way: “Weightlifting you do casually for fitness, or bodybuilders will lift to mold muscles. In powerlifting, you’re judged on who can lift the most weight with the correct form three times in three different lifts: bench press, deadlift and squat. There’s a lot of strategy in those three lifts. I love it because it’s so challenging,” he says.
Number of records held: 1 world, 9 national, 26 state.
His grocery bills alone (not his entire family’s) top $400 per month.
He drinks four protein shakes a day.
He competes in only two or three competitions a year.
When he competed at the national competition in June, Barbee beat seven other people in his weight class (242 pounds) in his first contest since tearing a bicep tendon deadlifting at a meet in January 2016. “It sounded like a tree branch breaking. It was the last lift of the day and I’d already won. It happened so quickly, it didn’t hurt, but it bruised my whole arm.” Surgery sidelined him from both work and lifting until that April.
At nationals, his last – and winning – deadlift was 628 pounds: the same weight he was lifting when his tendon tore.
Barbee is quick to draw parallels between his career and his hobby, noting that staying in shape not only helps him win weightlifting competitions, but perform well in his day job.
And you can best believe that when he travels around the world to compete with 48 other American powerlifters and own some more world records, he’ll carry the strength of his Catawba teammates with him.
I'm honored to work as a co-worker with you TAD, a lot of strengths are shown not just in competition but in your everyday job. Great job on your accomplishments thus far and support from all of us here at CNS in the competition.
"If the spirit is strong, one will appear like a deep-flowing river, calm on the surface but with tremendous power hidden in the depths" ~ Hideharu Onuma Holding you close in thoughts and lifting you in prayers on your journey, Tad! I am so proud of you!
GREAT job Tad!!! I am glad that you are a part of our team here at CNS. Good luck at the World Championship.

We walked to the light rail station which took us to MSP, from there we flew to Atlanta and onward to Lima Peru. We spent a very short night in the airport hotel, just across the street from the airport. `After five hours of sleep we had a quick breakfast and headed back across the street where we flew to Cusco and then onward to Puerto Maldonado. We were met outside the gate by our guide where we took a short transfer to the boat and a few hours later we were in the rain forrest.
It rained for most of our boat ride to the lodge, but by the time we arrived it was clearing. This meant that we could do the hike to the observation tower. A 120 foot high tower that lets you observe all the different layers of the jungle canopy, including from high above where you can see for miles!
While we were enjoying our view we were joined by a clan of howler monkeys! It was amazing to watch them from above, climb through the trees and then finally up one of the support cables to the observation tower. We were a little worried they might start coming up the stairs but they kept right on moving and climbed down the wire on the other side.
We at dinner as a group, along with our guide at 7:30 and by 8:45 we were in bed. We were tired from the travel and we had a 4AM wake up for the next morning to head out to the lake and then onward for another 5 hours up the river to the Tambopata Research Center.
If you have never heard howler monkeys its really quite a thing! About 5AM we heard a sound that was just like an approaching windstorm. That is the sound that howler monkeys make in the morning to mark their territory. Incredible.
After a short boat ride we had about a 30 minute hike to the ox bow lake where we would go in search of the Anaconda (Still looking), the Caiman (a Peruvian alligator - also still looking), many birds, and do some fishing.
Well, you may be wondering what do you fish for in the Amazon? Piraña of course!
It looks a lot like a Sunfish at first glance. At least until you get a close up look at the teeth! Also, you do not typically use raw beef when fishing for Sunnies!
After our fishing excursion we were back on the river headed to our final destination for the day, which is the Tambopata Research Center. This is one of the only places in the national reserve that you can stay overnight and learn about the jungle. It is really an amazing experience.
Along the way we were keeping our eyes peeled for interesting wildlife sightings. We were richly rewarded when one of the crew spotted a Jaguar. Right out in the open sunning itself! It’s by far the best “big cat” siting we have ever had in all our travels, and I was thrilled to get some good shots.
As a final treat for the day we saw a bunch of Macaws at the “clay lick”. More on clay licking tomorrow after we learn more!

Working together towards saving water, taking responsibility has always been an important part of the corporate culture at Kärcher.
A high-pressure cleaner is the ideal helper around the home and in the garden. These machines clean patios, storage spaces and courtyards as well as garden tools or bicycles quickly and thoroughly. And they also save water: about 3500 litres of water per hour flows through a normal hose with a pressure of about 3 to 5 bar. A powerful high-pressure cleaner only requires about 500 litres in the same amount of time. This saving is due to the high water pressure of up to 160 bar which reduces cleaning times.
The featured technology does not only offer practical advantages. It is fun to feel the water pressure with the trigger gun in the hand and see how quickly the dirt is removed and washed away.
High pressure washers can also be operated with an alternative water source. The device simply draws the water from any available water reservoir (e.g. a water bucket). This saves valuable drinking water and is environmentally friendly. A further advantage is that independence from the water mains affords greater flexibility and increases the working radius.
The K1-K3 class high pressure washers are able to operate in gravity feed mode.
Follow these easy steps for effective alternative water suction from alternative water source.

Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq says that when she tore a strip off a UN right-to-food envoy last week, she never meant to imply there were no hunger problems in the North.
OTTAWA — Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq says that when she tore a strip off a UN right-to-food envoy last week, she never meant to imply there were no hunger problems in the North.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Aglukkaq said there are indeed serious poverty challenges in her home region.
But she said she resents being told how to fix things by an outsider who has no first-hand knowledge of the North and who comes from a country that opposes the seal hunt.
“I never said that there is no hunger issue for aboriginal people,” Aglukkaq said in a phone interview from Geneva where she was attending global health discussions. “I come from there, I see it first-hand.
She says food security is best addressed by improving prospects for jobs and the economy of the North.
Last week, the UN’s special rapporteur on the right to food, Olivier De Schutter, presented his findings from a trip across Canada, saying he had “extremely severe” concerns about the ability of aboriginal people and families on social assistance to afford the food they need to stay healthy.
He criticized the government’s Nutrition North food subsidy program as benefiting retailers more than consumers. He also reflected aboriginal communities’ concerns that federal policies have eroded their control of the land and natural resources.
He made no mention of campaigns to stop the seal hunt.
Even a submission from the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and the Inuit Circumpolar Institute didn’t mention the environmentalist campaign.
Instead, that submission emphasized the need for government to invest in hunting and traditional knowledge, strengthen food subsidies and boost the regional economy — recommendations reflected in De Schutter’s preliminary report.
When De Schutter wrapped up his 11-day trip last week, several cabinet ministers blasted him, including Aglukkaq, who said food security in the North is about fighting environmentalists lobbying to cut off access to hunting traditional foods.
Aglukkaq called him “ill-informed” and “patronizing,” since he made recommendations about the North without setting foot there.
She said that instead of targeting Ottawa, De Schutter should be looking at environmentalists who are trying to cut off Inuit access to the seal hunt, polar bears and fish.
“It’s about fighting environmentalists that try to put a stop to our way of life, of hunting to provide for our families,” she said.
Her comments prompted critics to ask whether Ottawa was denying widespread poverty and food insecurity in the North.
In her interview this week, Aglukkaq said that for De Schutter to truly understand food security in the North, he needs to look well beyond the grocery store to see how the traditional reliance on hunting is under pressure.
“Hunting is our way of life. The very country he comes from does not recognize the seal hunt, and in fact opposes the seal hunt,” the minister said.
De Schutter is from Belgium, which spearheaded a ban on Canadian seal products. However, traditional aboriginal sealing is excluded from the European ban.
Aglukkaq said she would welcome the envoy back so that she could take him to the North to see first-hand how the seal hunt works.
The Inuit submission to the UN envoy pointed to government-funded research that shows that 68.8 per cent of adults in Nunavut do not have secure access to food — six times higher than the Canadian average. The submission points out that the research does not properly take into account access to country foods.
“You don’t need to be a Canadian citizen to see the horrific effects of poverty (created by federal policy) on First Nations,” commented Pam Palmater, the chair in indigenous governance at Ryerson University in Toronto.

I have and can do a lot of things. But when I thought hard of the things I really need to do and things I really want to do, I have quit doing several things that I did.
After thinking about what I really wanted to do, I decided to spend my time on things that are important and quit doing some things.
Are you spending your time on what you need to do the most? Or are you filling up your life for the purpose of being busy? What can you give up?

Thoughts on the look? For some unexplainable reason, I’m kind of digging it.


text: I have been fortunate enough to have worked with Avneet a lot over this past summer. Avneet’s attention to detail is incredible. During a workout if I am unable to fully grasp a certain move we will break it down and go over each step until it feels like it is becoming a natural part of my game. This attention to detail has improved my game a lot over this past summer. Due to our work together I feel much more confident in aspects of my game that I have previously felt weak in. Avneet will always explain how the move or drill we are working on relates to in game situations, how the defence will react and why a particular read is more beneficial over another in that situation. Last year was my first year playing university basketball. I struggled a lot with decision making at the fast pace level that the game was being played at. Fortunately, our training sessions have allowed me to gain a greater understanding of the game and I now feel confident I will make better reads when I am on the court. Having Avneet as a coach over the years has been extremely beneficial to my game, he continues to push me to new heights, motivate me to continue to work hard and strive towards being the best player I can be.

Bought Good Dress Clothes, at Good Price, in Shanghai. Know of Anything Better?
I was in dire need of a new warddrobe and some suits.
I ended up going, getting suits for 900 RMB, extra pants for 350 RMB apiece, and dress shirts for 150 RMB apiece. So, 3000 RMB spent for suits that I needed badly.
1. Any other good places to buy within China? Or even outside, such as Thailand custom silk suits in Bangkok?
2. Any place people recommend for dress shoes?
3. Any other commentary about getting good stuff, at a good price? I know, Chinese stuff is often decent looking but cheap stuff that falls apart, or good foreign stuff at three times the fair price.
Re: Bought Good Dress Clothes, at Good Price, in Shanghai. Know of Anything Better?
Hong Kong has quite a few tailors.
I did find one place in Dongguan that could do custom work. If you get down this way, let me know and I can show you which alley they are hiding in.

He used to work in a food-packaging factory, but now 44-year-old NidarSingh Nihang, from Wolverhampton, England, has an arguably moreeyebrow-raising lifestyle.
He used to work in a food-packaging factory, but now 44-year-old Nidar Singh Nihang, from Wolverhampton, England, has an arguably more eyebrow-raising lifestyle.
Nihang is a full-time practitioner of the ancient Sikh martial art of shastar vidiya (“science of weapons”) and claims to be the last surviving master of this warrior culture.
Developed by the Sikh community in the 17th century, shastar vidiya, as a combat battlefield martial art, came under attack from hostile Muslims and Hindus.
The British armies forced Sikhs to give up arms in the 19th century, forcing the martial art underground. But the ancient tradition was kept alive by people passing it on from one generation to the next.
Nihang, a father of four, is now on an urgent quest to find a successor; he does so by scouring the hillsides of northern India and Pakistan. Nihang also holds classes three days a week to any enthusiasts who wish to learn the ancient martial tradition — that includes learning about unarmed combat and how to use daggers, swords and spears.
“In the students I do look for physicality, but at the same time shastar vidya is a conceptual art, an intellectual art,” Nihang tells Metro. As part of his daily routine, Nihang recites ancient mantras and reads ancient Vedic texts.
In fact, according to Nihang, you have to teach “classical Indian music, medicine or history” while practicing as a master of shastar vidiya.
london. According to Nihang, the martial art is based on a five-pronged movement. “You advance on the enemy with a low center of gravity, hit their periphery, deflect any of their blows, establish a superior tactical position and cut him down,” he says.
“This is a very quick, efficient and subtle means of attack,” he adds.
Another important aspect of the art is the ornate costumes. Nihang says in a practical sense, dark blue is the best color of clothing: “It’s great for camouflage at night and good for concealing blood wounds — they’ll look like sweat.
“Turbans, rather than helmets, are preferable in the heat of the sun. Otherwise, your brains would cook!” he exclaims.
Real weapons are also a part of shastar vidiya.
“Most of our weapons are antiques, from as far back as the 16th century — they’ve all been passed down through various families,” Nihang says.
“But I have never known any serious injuries, because we take more care with our very sharp weapons,” he adds.

In Massachusetts, it is illegal to attach, or permit to be attached, wrong license plates to a vehicle in order to conceal identity. There are three elements of this crime which the Commonwealth must prove against you beyond a reasonable doubt, namely: 1. That you attached the plate in question to a motor vehicle, or you permitted it to be attached; 2. That the plate in question was not assigned to that particular vehicle by the registry of motor vehicles 3. That you did so with the intent to conceal that motor vehicle.
What is the Penalties for Attaching Wrong Plates in Massachusetts?
It is important to understand that this is a criminal misdemeanor traffic offense, as opposed to a civil minor traffic violation. As a result, it is taken more seriously and the potential consequences are more severe. The penalty for a conviction is up to $100 in fines and/or up to 10 days in jail, in addition to probation, license suspension, points on your driving record and a criminal record.
Are there Defenses to Attaching Wrong Plates in Massachusetts?
The easiest defense to this charge is to deny intent to conceal the motor vehicle, or even that you knew that plate attached was not the correct, assigned one. Absent an independent witness seeing you attach the plate or an admission by you, it is obviously difficult for the district attorney handling your case that you intentionally attached, or allowed the attachment of, a wrong plate in order to conceal identity. However, a charge of Attaching Wrong Plates to Conceal Identity is usually related a car theft or an unregistered motor vehicle, as these tend to imply motivation for intentionally attaching the wrong plate.
If you have been charged with this offense, it is important to contact an experienced motor vehicle criminal defense attorney right away. An experienced attorney can help you get the best possible outcome for your attaching wrong plates case in Massachusetts.

PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for CPython 2.7. It’s fast (pypy 1.7 and cpython 2.7.1 performance comparison) due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
JSON encoder (but not decoder) has been replaced with a new one. This one is written in pure Python, but is known to outperform CPython’s C extension up to 2 times in some cases. It’s about 20 times faster than the one that we had in 1.6.
It’s maybe worth mentioning that we’re running fundraising campaigns for NumPy effort in PyPy and for Python 3 in PyPy. In case you want to see any of those happen faster, we urge you to donate to numpy proposal or py3k proposal. In case you want PyPy to progress, but you trust us with the general direction, you can always donate to the general pot.

Turn ideas into action with the new Conductor integration with Asana.
Fast-moving marketing teams like yours are constantly communicating and coordinating on key projects. Odds are you’re using a work management tool like Asana, Trello, or Jira to plan out who’s doing what by when, track progress, and share resources.
Conductor provides the insights that help you get closer to your customers: figure out what problems they are trying to solve, how they’re searching for answers online, and what your company can do to help them.
Now, you can take advantage of every single one of those opportunities more quickly and efficiently by turning your keyword research into trackable tasks in your work management tool. You should never miss a chance to help your customers and drive more ROI for your business from your marketing tech because of marketing silos or breakdowns in communication.
Today we’re excited to announce the new Conductor integration with Asana as part of Conductor Actions. This is just the first step in bringing Conductor’s unique insights into your customers’ needs and voice into the tools and processes you and your team use every day.
Simplifying workflow and making collaboration easier is key to the modern marketing team. With Conductor Actions, you can now collect, assign, and share the insights that drive your content strategy directly to the project management platform of your choice – like Asana or Jira. This integration makes it simpler and more natural to execute on key projects, collaborate, and ensure accountability across your team.
We built Actions because we saw our customers spending too much time collecting, organizing and tasking their projects, rather than spending time on revenue-driving activities. Now our customers can do more faster across their entire team. Bringing search insights into their workflows across channels empowers marketers to align all aspects of marketing with their customers’ needs.
This integration enables you to identify topics that resonate with your audience, create content briefs with Actions, and send that to your (or your team’s) queue in Asana for seamless collaboration. This takes the countless back-and-forth emails out of the equation when it comes to creating traffic-driving content.
Today, Actions are available in Explorer to send insights, topics, and ideas directly to your team in Asana.
In the coming months, Conductor Actions will expand to support integrations with all the leading task management platforms, including Asana, Jira (Cloud and On-premise), and Trello. You will be able to send insights from across the entire Conductor platform into any of these tools.
Our new features aren’t limited to Actions: we are building out across the platform to make sure you have the tools you need to succeed. We’ve introduced a new beta program in Conductor Labs that will allow you to see the whole picture of how your audience is getting to your content.
Using data from your integrated Google Analytics account, you will be able to see multi-channel and device-specific data daily: how your content is performing not just organically, but on social, paid search, or in email campaigns.
We’ve also added in new filtering options and new historical data in the Conductor Explorer feature and category filters in our Google Search Console Analytics report. You now have more options than ever when it comes to finding the insights you need from your data.
Get Actions today! If you’re a current customer and you’d like to be one of the first to take advantage Conductor Actions, register for the beta waitlist. Not yet a Conductor customer? Drop us a line and we’ll get your team collaborating better than ever before.

More than six years after leaving home at the age of 14 to attend U.S. boarding school, Jack Harrison is returning to England.
After four years at the Berkshire School in Massachusetts, one year at Wake Forest and two at New York City FC, Harrison was sold to Manchester City. He signed an agreement with the Premier League leaders through the 2020-21 season and was loaned to the Championship's Middlesbrough until the end of the season.
Harrison, 21, was the No. 1 pick in the 2016 SuperDraft and follows the 2015 No. 1 pick Cyle Larin to Europe to the same day. Larin was sold by Orlando City to Besiktas of Turkey.
Harrison scored 14 goals in two seasons and helped NYCFC make the MLS playoffs in both seasons, its second and third in the league. His play earned him a call-up to England's U-21 national team.
Transfer Fee. Sources told Goal.com that NYCFC will receive a $6 million transfer fee for Harrison in a deal that also includes performance bonuses and a sell-on clause. Manchester City beat out Stoke City for Harrison. NYCFC and Manchester City are both operated by City Football Group.
“Of course, it’s sad to see Jack go but at the same time, we recognize this is an opportunity that he felt ready for and wanted," NYCFC sporting director Claudio Reyna said. "Most importantly, we’re extremely confident that we’re heading into this new season with a very strong squad. We have great improvements across the team after several exciting signings during this off season, including across our front line where we believe we have creative players and goal scorers."
Middlesbrough entered Tuesday in eighth place in the Championship.
"I can't wait to get started over here," Harrison said, who moved from Manchester United's academy program to attend boarding school. "I'm looking forward to testing myself in England. Middlesbrough are a good club, with Premier League experience, and they're in the mix for a return via the playoffs this season."
After Jack. NYCFC has signed Paraguayan Jesus Medina to a Young Designated Player contract, as well as Ismael Tajouri from Austria Wien and Norwegian Jo Inge Berget.

How can one entity pay money to or from itself? I mean, seriously, how is this money into the MLS?

Phil H., it's called creative accounting by some and "voodoo economics" by others.

The top Premier League sides loan out dozens of players, almost all of them won't ever wear the contract-owners shirt. This must be tackled with FFP 2.0 because it's distorting the market.

I saw him play a year ago and was impressed. I had mentioned him to a childhood friend of mine who also played for the Ajax youth and later ended up playing for the Dallas Tornados in the 60's of which a book has come out called" The Amazing World Tour of the Dallas Tornado". My friend Chris watches the MLS in Holland and stated that Harrison was an American player. I was shocked, because Harrisson somehow does not fit the DNA of an American player with the ball. I found out he was English and he reminded me of the wingers of the '70's like Eddie Gray of Leeds Utd. Harrison left Man.Utd. at 14 for I assume he didn't see a future with the club otherwise he would have stayed.
Obviously the kid has talent, because even though he came to the US where player development is a joke as compared to what he was receiving at ManUtd, he succeeded. He ended up going to boarding school playing soccer at a much lower level in the US.
