Following a rigorous application process, Springdale Preparatory School in New Windsor opened for students today after receiving Maryland State Department of Education approval to provide academic instruction to students in 5th through 11th grades for the 2017-2018 school year. Springdale Prep is one of just two independent schools in Carroll County with state certification to provide instruction to high school age students.
With today’s opening, Springdale Prep brings to the area a new, progressive boarding and day school. Springdale Prep, located on 21 acres in New Windsor, Carroll County, Md., stresses learning through success as well as failure and provides students the opportunity to reflect on their setbacks, a progressive approach that has attracted students, parents and teachers to the program. With a unique culture, Springdale Preparatory School also has based its educational philosophy on mindfulness, dedicating set periods of time for all students to detach from academics, extracurricular activities, responsibilities and technology to gather their thoughts and reflect.
Springdale Prep is based on a 360-degree, life skills program which supports lifelong experiential learning to prepare students to meet the challenges and adversity they will face in their adult lives, says Head of School Johnny Graham, a former boarding school student and professional educator for over 20 years.
According to figures released by the National Center for Education Statistics, parents choose private schools for a variety of reasons, and most relate to advancing their child’s education. Among the organization’s study conclusions is the notion that private school students benefit from smaller enrollments, class sizes and lower student/teacher ratios, and they are more likely to complete advanced level coursework in at least three academic areas, perform higher than their public school counterparts on standardized achievement tests, fulfill more demanding graduation requirements and are more likely to complete a bachelor’s or advanced degree by their mid-20s.
In addition, according to the Association of Boarding Schools (TABS), 60 percent of students apply to boarding school primarily for the opportunity to get a better education.
Springdale Preparatory focuses on academic, social and emotional development. The program instills a culture of respect, welcoming diversity to a community that will collaborate to achieve and solve problems through in-depth, hands-on experiential participation in diverse areas such as science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, culminating in long-term projects that enable growth and involvement.
The school will offers a day program as well as five- and seven-day boarding with a full schedule of weekend experiences and entertainment on and off campus, welcoming a diverse population of students of all nationalities, cultures, ethnicities and religious backgrounds.
Springdale Preparatory School is a new, co-educational, independent day and boarding school located on 21 acres in northern Maryland’s rolling countryside. A college preparatory school with a diverse student population from Maryland counties, other states across the country and from all over the world, Springdale Prep offers rigorous academics while equipping all learners with the tools needed to meet all of life’s challenges. Springdale prepares students for enduring success beginning with a foundation of respect for other students, faculty, and the world around them. Students develop strong relationships with each other and with faculty, who help to shape them to become tomorrow’s leaders. Whether in the classroom, in the dormitory, or on the athletic fields, students experience learning through innovation and develop the skills needed to embrace lifelong learning and make a difference. Springdale accepts students for admission on a rolling basis throughout the school year.

Develop and define the reputation by engaging with the whole of the business and its stakeholders.
Demonstrate the reputation by shared forms of words and pictures, inside and outside the business.
Defend the reputation by having people suitably trained and appropriate systems in place to identify and nullify risk.
An engaged workforce is, quite simply, one of the most valuable assets an organisation can have to best drive success. Engaged employees are also integral to nurturing a shared sense of reputation.
We have a wealth of experience in supporting management teams reach and engage effectively with staff members. That’s not to say that we can achieve something which the business can’t. People engage more deeply with others they know, so we’ve learnt that our value is felt in presenting teams with the tools and methods which have been successful before. Our strength lies in the ability to structure engagement programs, which work for leaders and their reports, while also measuring the progress a business makes.
It is vital that executive team members contribute fully in the defining of reputation. They will have close relationships with stakeholders beyond the organisation and to that end, will recognise how the business is perceived externally. Naturally, they are also taking those business decisions that affect the company, so it’s critical that actions are aligned with the reputation.
The CRP manages such executive reviews from the basis of set questionnaires, or in-depth one-on-one interviews. We are seasoned research practitioners who are expert at wording such questions and extrapolating results safely.
Every organisation has a raft of stakeholders that take close interest in its work, and influence its reputation. The supply chain is getting more complicated, and the media landscape is changing at breakneck pace. Consequently, it’s vitally important for organisations to have strong, healthy relationships with its many publics.
Businesses will know these stakeholders far better than we do at the CRP, so we don’t need to identify who these people are. Our value lies in setting up the structures to ensure that these relationships are best maintained over the long-term. Enhancing reputation is about establishing these roots within different communities, and we have set up such plans for executive and non-executive teams.
Your messages will tell people what you're about, but your stories will get them to care. The popular CRP storytelling workshop builds on existing corporate messaging, and with the help of staff insights and corporate history, begins the process of producing the stories which incorporate reputation.
Company spokespeople are an integral part in enhancing and defending corporate reputation. Subsequently, it's critical that spokespeople are skilled in telling the world what their business stands for in compelling terms, and negotiating the fiercest of media interviews.
However, where CRP differs is the fact that spokespeople are trained, with corporate reputation front-of-mind. Many agencies will run such sessions and not make the connection with the way the business behaves and is perceived – this is not realistic.
The CRP approach emboldens participants by keeping reputation visible. They get a sense of their position on issues and subsequently questions are easier to tackle and interviews easier to control.
Increasingly, businesses are having to pitch and present for new work. For many, the experience can be a difficult one. Yet, with the right training, such scenarios can be the opportunity to shine a light on your organisation’s merits.
Such opportunities have been shown to be more readily accepted, when presenters have a sense of shared-ownership of the business reputation.
Unlike many agencies, the CRP links any training component to the client’s broader reputation and as is so often the case, participants get a clearer grasp of the ambassadorial role played in such scenarios and achieve hugely effective results.
Sessions are filmed for playback purposes to give attendees a detailed overview of their respective performances.
In light of social media, corporate reputation is more exposed than ever before. The public now has a greater opportunity to interact with an organisation and its services, which can prove damaging even to the most durable of brands.
Social media reputation plans are a critical tool to ensure an organisation is using its social media assets properly to not only withstand the impact of a reputational attack, but to also nurture and grow the reputation in ‘peace time’. We develop plans that not only alert companies to reputational threats, but give leaders the opportunity to grow their teams as they play a more meaningful role in enhancing reputation through online engagement.
The CRP’s simulation exercises are set up to gauge the strength of a client’s corporate reputation. As with our other training sessions, we keep a business’ reputation front-of-mind when it comes to the design and delivery of the exercise. So, if you’re company known for its solid customer service, we’ll put this to the test by way of an appropriate and plausible scenario. We run desktop and live simulations and provide comprehensive briefing notes on completion of the session.
It’s crucial that an organisation has a full grasp of the potential risks that could do the business harm. Such threats come from a broad range of sources, including technology, the supply chain, regulatory changes and competitors.
Our expertise lies in the ability to help you identify unknown risks early enough. Working with industry experts and specialist sector information, we produce regular risk reports for our clients, before we start the process of drafting their corporate communications on the relevant issues.

A town in the Indian state of Rajasthan, with Palace It, was once known as Jaiswal with the palace and several jain temples, Situated along the Thar Desert, It is one of the most admired tourist destinations across the world. Also known as the "Golden City of India" due to the yellow sand and sandstone used in all its architecture and its surrounding area. It is the administrate headquarters of Jaisalmer District.
Like all other cities of Rajasthan, Jaisalmer too has its own glorious past to boast about. History of Jaisalmer draws heavily from the history of the Rajputana. The city is said to be founded by a Bhati Rajput ruler named Raja Rawal Jaisal around 1156 A.D. Anecdotes suggest that he did it on the advice of a local hermit named Eesaal. The king chose Trikut hill as the new site for his fort because he thought that his previous abode at Lodurva (16 km from present Jaisalmer) was vulnerable towards possible enemy assault.
The main tourist attractions in Jaisalmer are the Jaisalmer Fort, various exquisitely carved havellis like the Nathmalji-ki-Haveli, and Patwon-ki-Haveli, Gadsisar Lake, fine Jain Temples, Ludurva, Bada Bagh and Aakal, Desert fossil park, Sam Sand Dunes .
For those who love nature, traveling to Rajasthan is incomplete without visiting Sam. Located at a distance of 42kms from Jaisalmer city, Sam is a place far away from a busy hectic noisy life of metro cities, where every sunrise and sunset, the lighter shade yellow dunes and cultural folk dance performance of the Kalbelia dancers, creates a landmark in memories.
There is plenty to do at the camp: camel riding, trekking, sand boarding, guided walks, Jeep Safari, Parcelling, visiting the oasis, and enjoying the evening’s informal music and dance around the camp fire.

Here in Southern California, it’s often easy for homeowners to forget about their heating system. After all, we’re usually blasting our air conditioners for months at a time! For this reason, it’s critical to perform a routine checkup of your HVAC system to make sure it’s prepared for the cold ahead. For any heater repairs, installation, or maintenance, be sure to call our expert Murietta HVAC team at Correy Baker Heating & Air.
Keep your home delightfully toasty this winter. Call (951) 419-4146 for all your HVAC needs!
When something works, people tend not to replace it. Old thermostats, however, may not be working as well as you think. New thermostats are far more precise and functional, which helps your system operate at maximum efficiency. There are even some models that can be controlled with your smartphone!
Since a clogged filter can decrease your HVAC performance, it should come as no surprise that dirty ducts can do the same thing. Having your ducts cleaned prior to the winter season will help the air in your home stay warmer and cleaner.
Although the tips above are great, the best way to prepare your HVAC system for the winter is to take care of these issues in a regular HVAC maintenance check. When you call our experienced Murietta HVAC experts at Correy Baker Heating & Air, we can inspect all components of your system to make sure everything is operating at peak levels.
Broken heater? We can fix, replace, or maintain all components of your HVAC system. Call (951) 419-4146 today!

The seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts reached 150,100 units in September, down from 157,300 units in August. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. attributes the decline to a 21.4 per cent drop in multiple-unit starts, to 62,700.

The seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts reached 150,100 units in September, down from 157,300 units in August. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. attributes the decline to a 21.4 per cent drop in multiple-unit starts, to 62,700. The agency reports urban singles rose 16.8 per cent to 68,800 units, their highest level so far this year. CMHC says housing demand has strengthened and predicts housing starts will be stronger in the second half of 2009. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts declined 5.2 per cent to 131,500 units in September. Urban starts rose 11.8 per cent in Ontario and fell 20.2 per cent in Quebec, 18.1 per cent in British Columbia and 4.7 per cent in the Atlantic. They were unchanged in the Prairies.
Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 18,600 units in September.
That’s according to the latest house price survey by Royal LePage.
It says with the recession retreating, home prices are stabilizing and unit sales are increasingly driven by improved affordability. Royal LePage says the average price of a two storey home in Canada is up just 0.1 per cent from a year ago at $409,335. Average bungalow values grew 0.06 per cent year-over-year to $341,146, while the price of an average condo increased 0.09 per cent to $243,748. Royal LePage says a shortage in housing supply is leading to bidding wars in several cities, including Edmonton, Calgary, North and West Vancouver, and Victoria. While the Atlantic provinces saw a strong recovery in home prices, British Columbia and Alberta have been slower to recover from significant price corrections in 2008.

QUETTA, Pakistan: An unregistered religious seminary was gutted as a result of an explosion that occured allegedly after explosive materials prematurely went off in the Eastern Bypass, an outskirt of Quetta valley, on Sunday morning.
Four rooms of the religious seminary and a nearby house were completely destroyed in the blast.
According to eyewitness accounts, three people injured in the blast were taken out by their companions before police reached the site. A search operation was launched to find the injured, but police could not locate them at any Quetta hospital.
Deputy Inspector General Police (DIG) Operations Mohammed Jaffar said some religious literature was recovered from the wreckage along with explosives material. He said those in the seminary were preparing explosives that went off prematurely.

Hromadske spoke to the member of European Parliament Rebecca Harms. She believes European officials are relieved that there was a free election. It is important that the vector of war and occupation, as well as other problems in the country, did not come to the fore. There was a competitive process - with flaws - but competitive, nonetheless.
We understand that people, who vote in favor of [Volodymyr] Zelenskiy are not knowing what they are voting for. This also comes as a surprise to us that an unknown candidate has big chances for such a very important position.
Harms also thinks that "the old political class is no longer associated with hope in the minds of Ukrainians, but rather with new mistrust." She encourages both candidates to offer their programs to the people in full so that Ukrainians know what the candidates' priorities are and how they hope to solve issues of poverty, war, and occupation among others.
These are questions which have to be answered more by the candidate Zelenskiy. I would say, for us, the attitude of president Petro Poroshenko is clear, but I would also say that in his campaign he very much focused on general issues like war, language, and church. Obviously, Poroshenko also did not meet what the majority of Ukrainians expected.

Two former Palm Beach County high school students — one who was horrifically injured when a tire exploded in his shop class at Seminole Ridge High School — are poised to get money from the School Board to pay for their injuries.
In a lopsided vote of 117-2, the Florida House on Wednesday gave the final nod to an unusual bill that directs the School Board to pay Dustin Reinhardt $4.7 million for injuries he sustained in the 2013 explosion in his auto shop class. Now 20 and living in an assisted living facility, Reinhardt lost an eye and suffered severe brain damage in the accident. The Loxahatchee resident already has received $300,000 from the school district.
The bill also allows the School Board to pay $790,000 to Altavious Carter, who broke his neck in a 2005 traffic accident caused by a school bus driver. Carter, now 25, was a 14-year-old freshman basketball standout at the former Summit Christian School when the crash occurred.
Since the Florida Senate passed the measure 31-5 on Monday, the bill is headed to Gov. Rick Scott for his approval.
In Florida, the Legislature must approve any payments over $300,000 — sometimes less depending when the injury occurred — before taxpayer-backed agencies can pay people harmed by government wrongdoing. The measures are known as claims bills.
In addition to awarding money to the two young men, the Legislature also ordered the Florida Department of Children and Families to pay $3.75 million to Victor Barahona. He was was found near death in a van along Interstate 95 in West Palm Beach in 2011. Sprayed with pesticides, with chemical burns covering his body, he was alongside the decomposing body of his twin sister, Nubia.
Officials at DCF admitted ignoring years of evidence of severe abuse and neglect at the children’s Miami home. The adoptive parents, Jorge and Carmen Barahona, are awaiting trial on murder and attempted murder charges.
Former state Sen. J. Alex Villalobos, a lawyer who now works as a lobbyist, persuaded the Legislature to combine what had been two separate bills into one measure for Reinhardt and Carter. In his 25 years of watching the Legislature, he said he has never seen it combine two claims bills. Without it, he said it is likely Carter, who in 2010 was awarded $1 million for his injuries by a Palm Beach County jury, would have been forced to wait yet another year, hoping lawmakers would act.
Attorney Brian Denney, who represented Carter, said he was pleased the bill passed both chambers. But, having waited seven years, he said he wasn’t celebrating until Scott’s signature is affixed to the measure.
Reinhardt’s parents weren’t immediately available for comment. In the past, they have said that because their son lost parts of his brain that control reasoning and judgment, he likely will need someone to supervise day-to-day living for the rest of his life.
But despite his obstacles, his father, Scott, has said he remains the optimistic kid who once dreamed of being a mechanic or driving a long-haul truck. "He is — 99.9 percent of the time — cheerful, upbeat and looking forward to the next moment in his life," Reinhardt said in an interview in January. "That’s just Dustin."
Carter, who also played at Grandview Prep, earned a college scholarship to play basketball. But, medical experts said, the injuries he suffered will force him to have additional surgery as he ages.
With two days left in the legislative session, a former Wellington youth, identified only has CHM, is still waiting to see if the Legislature will pass a bill that would allow him to recover $5 million from DCF. A jury in 2013 agreed the state child welfare agency was negligent when it failed to warn his parents that a foster child they brought into their home was a predator.
The money is to help CHM deal with psychological problems he suffers as a result of being sexually assaulted by the foster child, also the victim of horrific abuse.
This year appears to be a good one for claims bills. In some recent legislative session, none have been approved.

5 New dates to try Movies and dinner...boring! Drinking Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain—been there, done that! Stuck for date ideas? Here's 5 you should definitely try!
Tired of dinner and the movies, or lunch and a walk on the beach? It’s time to take your dating life to the next level. Whether you’re in the honeymoon phase or you’re old marrieds trying to keep the romance alive, these fun date ideas will help create fun, shared experiences that will create lasting memories for years to come. Dating doesn’t have to be boring.
How long has it been since you’ve ridden a bike that wasn’t during a spin class? Rewind the clock to yesteryear and dust off your old 10-speed or mountain bike for a day exploring under pedal power. There are lots of great bike tracks throughout Sydney. If you don’t own a bike, you can hire one. One of the best places we found to explore by bicycle was Sydney Olympic Park. You can hire a tandem bike for 1–2 hours for only $35 or if you prefer to be in control of your own bike.
A leisurely drive from Sydney, Harper’s Mansion in Berrima is renowned for its tranquil gardens and amazing hedge maze. Two acres of sprawling gardens are a relaxing way to spend a sunny afternoon, while a race to the centre of the maze will bring out your competitive side. But don’t be fooled, it’s more challenging than it looks. For those of you who feel the panic rising when they feel trapped, it may pay to pop a bottle of Rescue Remedy into your purse or pocket.
Dancing is a great way to keep active. It doesn’t matter if you have two left feet, that’s half the fun! There are a variety of different styles of dancing on offer from the very precise ballroom, hip-shaking salsa, or the jivey Ceroc. Take lessons so you can strut your moves at your local footy club on band night. It’s also a good excuse to stand a little closer, if you’re in the friend zone and not sure how to instigate the next move.
Strangely addictive, once you’ve tried Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), you won’t be able to get enough. Sydney’s loaded with great places to hire a board and calm waters where beginners can try out their sea legs as they get used to balancing on a board. Not quite as easy as it looks, but lots of fun trying. Take lessons, and once you’re more confident, get out there with your date or take a guided tour. Watson’s Bay has million dollar views and calm waters, ideal for those starting out, while Cronulla beach gives you the best of both worlds—flat water and surf.

Every now and then, you meet someone who changes your life forever. For me, this person was Kris who, just a few minutes after I met him at my friend Dave's BBQ, shared with me the most extraordinary (100% real) school portraits from his youth. I can't even imagine the look on his mother's face when he brought them home to show her (and the dread she must have felt each year wondering he would do next!). So here they are, the most amazing hilarious school portraits that were ever taken in the entire world!!!
Thanks for sharing, Kris!! YOU ARE A ONE OF A KIND PERSON!!
I was coming back from my lunch break, and was just about to get into the elevator of my building when I overheard the pizza delivery man tell the doorman he was going to "dos cero seis" (which means 206). We both got into the elevator together, and that's when things started steaming up.
I went to push the second floor button for him.
We arrived at the second floor, he declared passionately to me "I love you"
I was surprised, but it was completely understandable. I told him graciously: "Thank you"
And just as he was about to leave the elevator (and possibly my life forever) he begged "A kiss???"
And that's when I pushed the "doors close" button as quickly as possible!!
Ahhh, just when you think it's impossible to find love in the city, fate delivers! I still think about that pizza delivery man to this day, and wonder what might have happened if I didn't push the doors closed in his face. Would we ride off on his bicycle together into the night? Would he be able to get me extra toppings for free?
Alas, we just weren't meant to be together, it was a pie in the sky idea!
We were given an assignment to do a report on the historical figure of our choice. Don't ask my WHY but I chose Duke Ellington (pretty cool for a third grader, eh?).
Simple enough right? WRONG! At the last minute, our teach informed us that we would need to dress up as the person we chose. I WAS DEVASTATED! Had I known this would be part of the assignment, I definitely would have chosen Lady Di, or someone with less facial hair.
This letter is actually from the first camp I went to, which apparently made me cry a lot less. Look, I actually sound happy! And boy, was I full of surprises!

NY: Even the Old People Are Awesome Here!
Recently I witnessed something that kind of melted my heart. I was walking to work when I saw two old ladies (I'm allowed to say that now that I'm getting old myself!) get frustrated with the slow walkers in front of them, so they overtook them. It was in that glorious moment, I knew I was living in the right city (which I obviously already knew. Have I mentioned how many amazing places there are to eat here?)!
A Special Valentine's Post: I LOVE TERTULIA!
Saturday night I went to a restaurant that might prevent me from ever enjoying another restaurant again: Tertulia. People have been raving about it for months, and I figured there was no way it could ever live up to the hype. BUT BOY, I WAS WRONG (you will not hear those words from me often)!
Tertulia is everything I ever imagined and MORE! Here, you might chase after your waiter with a fork if he tried to take away your plates before they were completely clean (yes, this happened to us that night. Well, not the fork, but it could have easily come to that!). The people who work there are delightful! None of that typical attitude coming from the other popular kitchens in town.
-Tosta huevo roto y jamón ibérico (Crushed egg, potato, Ibérico ham): This dish is a head turner! It actually caught our attention when a waiter passed by with it, so we knew we had to get it. I cannot describe the deliciousness to you!
-Cordero (Grilled lamb breast, creamy farro, cauliflower): I don't think I have ever had anything so scrumptious in my life. A flavor and texture sensation! I fear the puddle of drool caused by thinking about it might damage my computer.
-Torta de Limón (Meyer lemon pound-cake, buttermilk ice-cream, candied lemon peel): The perfect way to end the meal. BUTTERMILK ICE CREAM! Need I say more? So fresh and amazing and unique. Heaven!
I spent a good part of the dinner saying things like "Pork Belly, Schmork Schmelly" & "David Chang, Schmavid Schmang" (I still love you David! I'm just kidding!).
Tertulia, I would not change one thing about you. NOT ONE SINGLE THING! I can't WAIT to return!
I wish for once, someone would say "Long story short" and actually mean it!

-Does anyone else despise pennies as much as I do? They're practically worthless, and they take up a lot of space in my wallet. How much less annoying would they be if Ryan Gosling's face was on every shiny cent? Woah, woah, woah, I'm not saying INSTEAD of Abraham Lincoln. I'm saying buh bye Lincoln Memorial, HELLO RYAN GOSLING!
-Boy, I hate rain but Ryan Gosling umbrellas would certainly brighten any dreary day!
-The Post Office: There's got to be SOME way to make the post office less excruciating! Ryan gosling stamps, anyone?
-Is anyone else sick of Google as the only means of finding the answers to life's burning questions? What about a Ryan Gosling Search engine? If MC Hammer can do it, why not Ryan?
-Toast is great, but how much hotter would it be if there was a Ryan Gosling Toaster that imprinted his delicious face onto every slice of bread? You could gaze into his dreamy eyes before each and every bite? SCRUMPTIOUS!
-I hate waking up in the morning, who doesn't? What abut a Ryan Gosling alarm clock?? You get to pat him on the head to turn the alarm clock off! Not a bad way to wake up in the morning!
Is there ANYTHING that cannot be made better by Ryan Gosling??

Roswell, New Mexico is largely a carbon copy of the original, and full of faces you'll recognize.
This Roswell, New Mexico review contains spoilers.
Roswell, New Mexico. It’s one of those places so iconic, so singularly famous for one specific thing that it doesn’t even warrant an explanation. Back in 1999, it was the show that launched the careers of Shiri Applebee, Katherine Heigl, Colin Hanks (not that he needed launching), and several other faces you know, even if their names are less familiar, like Nick Wechsler, Brendan Fehr, and Emilie de Ravin (Lost). And now, 20 years and a few changes later, it’s back.

In what appears to be the first #MeToo disclosure in Bangladesh, Bangladeshi-Irish model Maksuda Akhter Prioty has alleged sexual harassment by a businessman-politician at his office in Dhaka in 2015, a year after she was crowned Miss Ireland.
Prioty, a pilot by training, had modeled several products in Bangladesh after she won the crown in the Irish beauty pageant.
Asked whether Prioty had dobe modeling of his group’s product, he claimed he did not know who modeled which of his group’s products.
The Me Too movement is a movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault. Tarana Burke, an American social activist, and community organizer, began using the phrase “#Me Too” as early as 2006.
It went viral last year as a hashtag used on social media in an attempt to demonstrate the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace.

Wonderful Review of Fireflies and A Guest Post with Read Around Sue!
If I’ve said it once I’ve said it 1,000 times…Book Bloggers Rock!
This week, Susan of Read Around Sue reviewed my first novel, Fireflies and also gave me a spot on her blog for a guest post, to talk about my new novel, The Blue Diamond – The Razor’s Edge.
Here is a little bit of that post but please hop on over to sue’s book blog and check it out there.
Today I want to welcome the author of Fireflies, P. S. Bartlett. She captivated me with this book so I asked her to share with all of us today.
The idea for my newest novel, The Blue Diamond – The Razor’s Edge, began back in October of 2013. One night I was toying with the idea of venturing a bit off of the path that I had previously travelled in historical fiction and striking out on a new adventure. I love pirate stories. There’s something about them that has always intrigued me. I enlisted the assistance of my online Facebook friends to help me name the male protagonist and the rest as they say, is history. As of this evening, my third novel is on its way through cyberspace to my publisher.
To be honest, I was nervous when I started writing this novel. I’ve read it can be career suicide if you change genres as a new writer. In my opinion, I haven’t really changed but rather slid to the side a bit. I’m still writing historical fiction but in this novel, I’ve added the elements of romance, action and adventure. After all, how can you write a pirate novel without those elements?
The Blue Diamond is about four young women who were orphaned at a young age during a Spanish raid in Charles Towne, South Carolina and they are left to fend for themselves. Through a horrible twist of fate, their small farm along the Ashley River is once again raided but this time, by Pirates. However, they aren’t children anymore. They are brave, capable young women who aren’t afraid to defend their land and their lives against invasion.

Colusa's Leo Guzman was a perfect 4-for-4 with an RBI against East Nicolaus on Thursday.
The Colusa RedHawks baseball team saw their season come to an end on Monday, losing 8-7 in their Northern Section semi-final match-up against Mt. Shasta.
The Bears scattered 11 hits in the contest – nine in the first two innings – to down the RedHawks. Freshman Drew Bradbury started the game and took the loss for Colusa, pitching one inning before giving way to Raymond Frias. Frias pitched six innings in relief, and after allowing three hits and as many runs in the second inning – including a home run against Myles Deloen – he limited Mt. Shasta to just two hits and no runs for the balance of the game, while striking out six.
The RedHawks struck first in the bottom of the first inning when Christian Lyss batted in Raymond Frias, but Mt. Shasta wasted no time in regaining the lead in the bottom half of the inning. The Bears plated a total of five runs in their first frame and never trailed after that, scoring three more in the second to jump out to an 8-1 lead.
The RedHawks rallied in the third inning, getting some help from the Mt. Shasta defense and starting pitcher Ian Allen. With one down, Keith Chavez reached on an error, and Allen proceeded to walk Frias on four pitches. Blake Steidlmayer grounded into a fielder’s choice, and Mt. Shasta forced Chavez out at third base, but Christian Lyss followed up by loading the bases with a single. Allen surrendered one run when he hit Ethan Rakela with a pitch, and Cody Free hit a two-run single the following at-bat to score Steidlmayer and Lyss.
Rakela was caught running at third base, but Colusa had closed the gap to 8-4.
Frias retired the Bears in order, striking two batters out in the bottom of the second inning, before the RedHawks went back to work at the plate. With one down, Drew Bradbury singled to left field, and Allen issued four-pitch walks to Leo Guzman and Keith Chavez to load the bases. After Frias struck out for the second out of the inning, Allen walked in a run and surrendered a two-run single to Lyss, bringing Colusa within one.
The RedHawks had runners in scoring position in the fifth and sixth innings but were unable to score the game-tying run, eventually falling 8-7.
Lyss’s two hits and three runs batted in were team highs for Colusa. Cody Free finished 1-for-3 with 2 RBI’s.
Colusa finished the season 22-10.

LA hip-hop collective Odd Future are teaming up with Vans for a collaborative footwear release this season inspired by some OG artwork.
Having worked with Odd Future's frontman Tyler the Creator on several renditions of the Golf Wang Old Skool in the past, Vans come together with Tyler once again to offer up a release which is representative of the collective as a whole and pays homage to one of the most eclectic hip-hop groups of modern times. Although the majority of the group have gone on to work on their individual projects, Odd Future are still as relevant as ever having played a key role in bringing American street-wear to a mainstream UK audience when they exploded onto the scene in 2011. It’s only fitting for them to be recognised and celebrated by a brand as well respected as vans.

During the entire Tata Steel Chess Tournament, Chessity will present you with a daily 'game of the day'. Today we show you Fabiano Caruana's swift victory over Boris Gelfand. It was Caruana's creative play in the opening and early middle game that made a great impression.
Though Gelfand has been primarily adopting the Sveshnikov variation ever since his 2012 World Championship match against Vishy Anand, the Najdorf has been one of the main pillars of his opening repertoire during his entire career.
Modern chess! 15 years ago this move was hardly taken serious, but it can now safely be considered the main line. At the top level it has overtaken both natural developing moves 8... Nbd7 and 8...Be7. Black rigorously stops the advance of White's g-pawn before continuing his development.
Forcing Black's next move, otherwise White would fortify the knight further by playing c2-c4.
9... Bxd5 10.exd5 Nbd7 11.Qd2 g6 12.Be2!
( Why place an exclamation mark behind this natural developing move? Because of the concept behind it! Previously players had primarily played 12.O-O-O here, but after12... Nb6 13.Qa5 ( 13.c4?!
12... Bg7 13.O-O O-O 14.Rac1!?
( Only now the game enters unknown territory. The immideate 14.c4 runs into ( 14.Na5 is the main move in the position, intending to expand on the queenside with c2-c4, b2-b4 etc. I am no expert in this particular variation but I have no doubt Caruana studied this position extensively.)14... a5! when, just to show the idea, 15.a4?!
Starting an attack out of the blue.
Marking White's advantage. Black's knights are lacking squares.
A nice little manouevre, bringing in the rook to charge the g6-pawn.
White's position is an example of how harmony looks like.
and Gelfand resigned. He has to give up heavy material in order to prevent mate. A great start for Caruana!

The study of a second language modifies the structure of the brain, specifically the lower frontal cortex, which is the center of all areas of the brain and determines the personality of the individual.
The frontal cortex is a mass with layers of neurons that plays an important role in cognitive functions, such as thought, language, consciousness and memory.
Memory is a function of the brain that allows us to codify what we learn. At an early age bilingual education prepares the brain for different languages, a child who studies two languages will be able to defend and speak it interchangeably, his brain retains and orders in a different way a greater number of words so that he can then access that information.
A bilingual brain organizes more efficiently and effortlessly the learning of the two languages beneficially influencing children’s memory. In adult ages the study of a language develops intelligence, balances aging and slows down the deterioration of the nervous system, delaying even Alzheimer’s.
Now that you know why you need to learn a second language, we recommend Spanish55 so you can take Skype spanish classes.

Meanwhile, this article tells us that Roger Williams, who 17 days ago had his son Ethan taken on the run by the boy’s mother, was reunited with Ethan last Friday (Telegraph, 6/15/15). This past Monday, the court, after calling what mother Rebecca Minnock did “utterly irresponsible,” gave temporary custody to Williams. After almost three weeks on the lam, Minnock finally turned herself in to police. Whether she will be charged criminally is still undecided as are the precise terms of child custody and parenting time. Judge Mark Wildblood has vowed to work out an arrangement under which the child will have a meaningful relationship with each of his parents. That’s a good idea, but it may be difficult given Minnock’s prior attempts to remove Williams from his son’s life by leveling false allegations of abuse against him.
But for now, Williams and his son are together and the whole episode may now recede into the past.

Kevin Magnussen (DAMS) went fastest in both of the day's Formula Renault 3.5 Series collective testing sessions at Paul Ricard. The championship leader finished ahead of title rival Stoffel Vandoorne (Fortec Motorsports), while Nico Müller (International Draco Racing) performed well in both sessions. The Lotus pair of Marco Sorensen and Marlon Stöckinger completed the top five.
It was Kevin Magnussen who dominated the first collective testing session on Friday morning. The DAMS driver sat comfortably atop the timesheets after the first 15 minutes, although he did see his lead threatened by Antonio Felix da Costa (Arden Caterham) and Nico Müller shortly after the halfway stage.
Magnussen, however, responded nine minutes from the chequered flag, and improved with a lap of 1:48.392 with six minutes to go. The Dane finished the session ahead of Nico Müller and André Negrão (International Draco Racing), with Antonio Felix da Costa and Stoffel Vandoorne fourth and fifth respectively.
The second session proved much tighter. After seeing the fastest time change hands several times, Nico Müller moved to the top of the timesheets. The Swiss, however, was outpaced by Marco Sorensen (Lotus) shortly after the session’s mid-point. SMP Racing by Comtec’s Lucas Foresti and Daniil Move took the lead with 13 minutes left, before Marlon Stöckinger (Lotus) went fastest.
In the closing minutes, Marco Sorensen and Stoffel Vandoorne set successive fastest times. The Belgian’s effort, however, was beaten by Kevin Magnussen, who posted times of 1:48.072 and 1:47.836 with his final two laps. Nico Müller, Marco Sorensen and Marlon Stöckinger followed in that order.
Kevin Magnussen: "It’s a good way to start the weekend. There are no problems to report, but not everyone used fresh tyres like I did this morning. I don’t know if I’ll win the title this weekend, but that’s not what I’m focusing on."
Stoffel Vandoorne: "It was a pretty good day. We were a bit short of time this morning and in the afternoon, but our progress is good. I’m confident about tomorrow. It’ll probably be between me and [Kevin] Magnussen, once again! The goal will be to take maximum points from him, but it’s going to be hard."
Nico Müller: "It was a productive day in terms of our dry set-ups. We haven’t always been this close to the top in these conditions, so we’re pleased. If we improve a few set-ups, we should be in with a chance of pole. A podium finish would be ideal after Budapest, and it would help us aim for third place in the championship."

The Mariner, as will be recalled, went on a journey that takes him to the very edge of alienation, the very bottom of despair where he confronts Death and the yet more disturbing Death in Life; and, yet, through unmerited grace, is drawn back to a life of continuous 'penance' of offering his story to those who are, in being ripe to hear it and in need of hearing it, turned themselves to a new path. The wedding guest whose path he deliberately crosses to recount his tale does exactly this at the poem's closing. The wedding guest's invitation to listen and change their lives is our invitation too.
The Mariner, to use an image from another tradition, is a Bodhisattva, his own full redemption postponed vowed to roam the earth to bring enlightenment to every one as and when they are ready. Equally, the context of that redemption, is not of isolated 'selves', for no one can be redeemed without recognising that they belong to a whole cosmos alive and all actually loved and known, brought into being by God's love. It is violating that web of life, imaged forth in the albatross the Mariner kills, that triggers his, and his shipmates, fall. Indeed the Bodhisattva vow is to remain in the world of 'samsara' (of restless dissatisfaction) until all is seen as it is, one-d in nirvana, 'each blade of grass being enlightened'.
Guite shows how Coleridge's own life trajectory mirrored his art and how reflecting on this mirroring, it deepened and extended Coleridge's understanding of his own poem, reflected in his subsequent work, his own reflections and, importantly, the glosses he added to the poem in its later editions that bring out its essential theological meaning.
One of Guite's purposes indeed, as might befit an Anglican priest (and theology lecturer), is to demonstrate that Coleridge is a profoundly Christian poet - both in thought and in practice. The second part being as important as the first. Coleridge was a poet that prayed indeed prayer frames and flows through his life - and it is prayer that is tested by the depths as it ascends to the heights.
For famously too Coleridge was an addict wracked by the opiates that he had begun to take for his lifelong rheumatic pains and which effectively destroyed him as a poet (accompanied by other insecurities, themselves magnified by the drug). It is precisely the moment, Guite shows, when Coleridge finally confronted by his own paralysing 'Life in Death' moment, trapped in a hotel, midway between abandoned home and a series of lectures that he is too ill to give, that he 'surrenders' his self possession and releases himself into higher care that proves the trigger to a pathway of 'penance' of metanoia that, as Guite also shows, allowed Coleridge a second round of life, not primarily as poet, but as pioneering literary critic, autobiographer and thinker/theologian. A life that allows him, if we listen, to share a profound understanding of human life that critically inspired others - there is a wonderful account of Keats encounter with Coleridge - and that can inspire us.
For Guite treats Coleridge seriously, as he is, as a thinker - possibly the most intellectually gifted of all English poets - who works out a remarkably coherent vision of a world born out of God's imagination in which our imagination is an active, sharing participant. It is a vision shaped by experience, by deep philosophical reflection - in Plato and the neo-Platonists, Spinoza, Kant and the German Idealists - and baptised by the Christian mystics, most especially Boehme and his English follower, William Law; and, in Coleridge's case lived out in service (not least in his secondary, but important role, as a campaigning, radical journalist) and the liturgical celebration of the Anglican Church whose institutional failures though he recognised . One of the people Coleridge met in his (accelerated) and their old age was the poet, William Blake. Ah to be a fly on that wall! They would have recognised each other, methinks, as to the two great defenders of a living cosmos born of the divine logos, Jesus the Imagination.
The book is a tour de force - a compelling reading of one of the greatest poems in English, the celebration of a life and a defence of its subject and the ongoing importance of their thought.
Thank you for this well-written and insightful review of my book, I love your idea of the Mariner as Bodhisattva!
Yes, I thought it captured the sense of having seen yet complete redemption postponed until all see, indeed redemption being that communal arrival when (to quote Edwin Muir) we summon with one voice.

Gavin Turk rose to prominence in the early 1990s during the so-called 'young British artists' phenomenon: a wave of media interest provoked by an ambitious generation of artists with a flair for self-promotion. Turk's thoughtful, visually striking work gained him a reputation as an artist who questioned the nature and values of identity, pop culture, and art itself. Turk was born in 1967 in Guildford England and went to the Royal College of Art in London. In 1991 Turk was denied his MA certificate from the Royal College of Art for his degree show presentation, which consisted of an empty white studio with a blue English Heritage plaque installed, which simply bore the inscription "Borough of Kensington / GAVIN TURK / Sculptor / Worked Here 1989-1991." Beginning his career paradoxically with his own demise and posthumous recognition set the tone for his subsequent work, which dealt with the cult of personality and the construction of artistic myth. Senior members of staff refused Turk his MA degree - the first time this ever happened. However, many visitors, including the young art dealer, Jay Jopling, recognized the artwork as a serious, multi-layered installation with a knowing take on art history. The piece brought Turk critical acclaim and academic notoriety in equal measure. Turk's work has been collected by Charles Saatchi and was presented in Saatchi's most influential and controversial exhibition 'Sensation' (1997), marking his presence as a central figure of the YBA group. Turk's installations and sculptures deal with issues of authorship, authenticity and identity. Concerned with the 'myth' of the artist and the 'authorship' of a work, Turk's engagement with this modernist, avant-garde debate stretches back to the ready-mades of Marcel Duchamp. In the early 1990s Turk explored issues of authorship and identity by making a number of works based on his own signature that comment on the value that the artist's name confers onto a work. He has also made a number of photographic and sculptural self-portraits that often involve some degree of disguise. One of his best-known sculptures, Pop (1993), is a life-size waxwork self-portrait in which he adopts the identity of Sid Vicious singing 'My Way' in the pose of Elvis Presley as depicted by Andy Warhol. In more recent works such as Pile (2004), a painted bronze sculpture of a pile of bin bags, Turk explores the way in which a work of art is conferred with iconic status and value. He is interested in the way fame and celebrity affect the understanding of art and the position of artists. Included in this exhibition are museum scale canvases that depict the artist, in the personae of Che Guevara, Elvis Presley and Joseph Beuys, all in the style of Andy Warhol. Turk borrows from the history of art and at the same time references contemporary popular culture, exploring the power of artists while questioning the uniqueness and inherent value structure of the creative process.
Turk's work has been included in many seminal exhibitions including the latest groundbreaking POPLIFE show at Tate Modern (2009) as well as the Venice Biennale (2001), the 46th International Istanbul Biennial (1999), Material Culture, Hayward Gallery, London (1998), and Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection, Royal Academy of Arts, Saatchi Collection, London (1995). Recent exhibitions have included: Gavin Turk: The Negotiation of Purpose, GEM Museum for Contemporary Art, The Hague, The Netherlands; Gavin Turk: Last Year in Eggenburg (The Paradise Show), Schloss Eggenburg, Graz; Gavin Turk: et in arcadia eggo, New Art Centre Sculpture Park & Gallery, Salisbury; and Gavin Turk Oeuvre, Tate Britain Sculpture Court Display, London. Gavin Turk lives and works in London.


text: Supporting aging immigrants to fully engage in mainstream social and political life is a significant challenge for policy makers, service providers, and communities in Canada. Asian immigrants constitute the largest majority of immigrants in Canada over decades. A contextualized understanding of civic participation in aging Asian immigrants is of critical importance to support broad, active aging and social integration goals. Based on the research rationale, objectives and gaps identified in the literature review, this study will present a research project that aims to explore civic participation of aging immigrants from Asia, specifically China, India, and Philippines, living in Edmonton, Alberta. This research draws on the Civic Voluntarism Model and on Bourdieu's Theory of Practice, which views civic participation as a multi-dimensional concept influenced by individual social positions, family and community, and historical, cultural, political, and societal factors. Mixed methods research will be adopted, and will involve in-depth interviews with aging immigrants, focus group with immigrant and Canadian-born older adults, and a survey of aging immigrant participants in focus groups. This presentation will overview the research project and identify the multiple challenges in recruiting targeted participants from different ethnic groups in the initial stage and strategies adopted to solve these challenges. This presentation will inform future directions and approaches in the research of diverse ethnic aging immigrants. This presentation will also contribute to research method education and training for in undergraduate students at teaching-focused universities.

Why do girls do lingerie try on hauls on the internet?
I have my thoughts as to why but I would like to hear the thoughts of others.
Mine was Jennifer Love Hewitt. Who I imagined was short and curvy. I ended up marring a tall girl with few curves. I am just curious how things worked out for the rest of you. Did you end up with the girl or man of your dreams?
How can you tell if you are adicted to something or just like it?
I am not talking about drugs or alcohol. Just things in life.
What would you actually do for a Klondike bar?
Would you actually go so far as buy one?
Has any one else ever wondered why men's privates are on the outside.

Again, Kenyans underestimated the evil of Raila. If you carefully look at the clip of the hecklers in Kisumu, you will notice that they were about 20 men.
They were under firm instructions to cause maximum mayhem, and even throw stones at Uhuru and Ruto.
Raila wanted to recreate the 1969 scenario when Presidential Security had to shoot down stone throwing Kisumu residents. Only this time, he had to hire men. Luckily President Uhuru is a kind hearted man, and the general crowd actually adored him. Raila’s plans to have bloodshed did not work.
Again I repeat, Underestimating the evil nature of Raila is a big big big mistake.

In addition to handling the property management, we are able to oversee renovations for your investment property.
As an owner, your goals are typically to maximize today’s cash flow while increasing the value of your property over time. In order to achieve the highest rental income and secure top quality tenants, we have found that the property must be repaired to the neighborhood standards. You will need to determine what repairs are needed and which improvements to make on your property that will translate into added value or an increase in rent. We can help you with these decisions.
We can accompany you or your home inspector and provide you with feedback or even an estimate of the repairs needed to rent the property. Many of our investors have used this service and we have numerous references available upon request!
If your property only requires minor repairs or rehab, your Portfolio Manager can oversee the work at no additional charge. We use all 3rd party vendors and do not add on any additional fees or charges for work performed. You are kept informed during the process and provided before and after photos or videos.
If your property requires major rehab and you would like us to oversee the work performed, we charge a low flat fee of $500 to $1,000, depending on the scope of the required renovations. An inspection report is performed at the beginning of the process and any work performed along with estimates and vendors bills can be tracked 24/7 through our online owner portal.

You may be wondering how anything that's 'free' could be worth anything, but just give me a second (or however long it takes you to read this) to explain. SEGA FOREVER, the new brand that will be rolling out retro Sega games on Mobile, has announced that five games will be released today on mobile when the brand goes live. These are Sonic The Hedgehog, Comix Zone, Phantasy Star II, Kid Chameleon and Altered Beast. There are also plans to issue a few more titles in the next couple of months.
How do I know this? GamesIndustry had a chat yesterday with Sega Networks' chief marketing officer Mike Evans, who is claiming Sega Forever was his idea. He has been wanting to bring retro Sega games back to the fans, and feels that the mobile platform is the best route to take.
One of the key reasons [we're launching this] is the insight. Within all the games, we're running ongoing surveys and we're always super interested to understand what our fans want. We'll able to chart the relative strength of the IP, we'll be able to understand the demographics and the psychographics of the people who are playing the games, and once we have that audience we'll be able to create further games and experiences for that audience as well.
This isn't exactly a new technique to revitalise old games into the current gaming era, as we've seen a resurgence of many old titles by other developers and publishers too, trying to monopolize on our nostalgia. Sega naively believe that bringing back old IPs will boost their sales by 50% by 2020. I'm not saying it wouldn't, it's a good plan, but I feel that is truly ambitious and perhaps somewhat unrealistic.
Perhaps a better focus would be to develop new titles for franchise games, and then release the retro version for free at the same time. But just because it is free, doesn't mean that there won't be income though. Either the ads pay for the games, or you can pay to have the ads removed, which just serves the same purpose.
It's a very easy conversion to take those games to free. We're just bolting in the advertising support model and a single in-app purchase that can disable those ads.
So, either way, they get paid. You can read the rest of the interview yourself, but let's get to the most important question: will it be worth it, even though it is free? And here I am talking about the enjoyment value. Now, I have always been as much a Sega player as I was a Nintendo player; in other words, never. So I turned to others who have some experience in this matter.
According to Eurogamer, the games are ported over by Unity, who is using a sub-par emulator. Sega were busy with negotiations with RetroArch, but the negotiations entailed RetroArch effectively losing rights to its programs. And John Linneman from Digital Foundry suggests it's not just that the emulator runs it at 30fps, but that it is also very unstable.
The games are designed to run at 60 frames per second. This emulator tries to do that but drops frames resulting in something that looks more like ~45 fps or so. There are loads of dropped frames, hitches and skips. 30fps is bad, but an even, stable 30fps would have been better than this. The issue here is that it skips and stutters during gameplay. And when a notification occurs, it gets much worse. So it never plays smoothly.
And to me that is the key. I have several free mobile games where I have chosen to keep the ads. Paying to have them removed has never been an issue to me. Yet, if I was ever motivated to try Sega out for the first time, it would not be under such poor quality.
This seems to be the latest trend though. I am seeing more and more retro games coming to mobile free of charge at much less quality. It seems as though developers are milking us for the nostalgia. Even though we may not be paying for it, the advertisers are. Not that they care or are even playing these games, but the revenue that they are indirectly getting from us will continue to drive developers to bring us sub-par retro games.
About 90 per cent of the games so far are in Unity. The reason we chose Unity as middleware is it enables us to take this content to other platforms as well. So my first focus is mobile. It's a huge project and what I really want to do is get mobile right. After this, there are options: we can look at desktop, Facebook, we could even take these games to consoles like Switch.
So they're looking at bringing these sub-par games to Switch as well. Does it matter? Would you mind having to deal with glitchy stages and poor graphics just for a few moments of goosebumps and a trail down memory lane?
I guess it all comes down to personal opinion really. If you manage to pick up any SEGA FOREVER games, let us know how it plays and if it was worth the enjoyment / frustration.

Only a few years ago, one’s perception of a man who has waited in line for a bed at a shelter, lived in an abandoned house, abused drugs and alcohol, and was estranged from his family would have fit a typical stereotype of homelessness – a middle aged, black man in ragged clothes, living on the streets and panhandling for change on the corner of the block. Yet this story does not fit that stereotype – far from it!
Meet Peter Arian. At only 25 years old, Peter has lived through what many of us would only have bad dreams about – estranged from family and friends, addicted to drugs and alcohol, living in a homeless shelter and abandoned buildings.
A graduate of Shaker Heights High School, Peter’s drug use landed him in treatment at Stella Maris. After completing his rehab program, he came to Procop House.
Upon his arrival, Peter immediately took advantage of the support and resources available. He got his driver’s license and his own vehicle. He was an active volunteer in the community. And after a seven month stay, he recently moved out into his own apartment, holds a full-time job at a downtown restaurant, and has enrolled in classes at Cleveland State University.
Peter continues to visit Procop House, connecting with the guys and maintaining many friendships he quickly developed here, and is a role model for many of the guys who remain.
