People still judge a book by its cover, and we judge other people by what we see on the outside. For salespeople, it's vital to take this into account before you meet with potential customers. In a social situation you can show your trustworthiness over a long period of time, so if someone is put off by their first impressions, you have a chance to change his mind. In a sales situation you'll meet with a given prospect only once or twice, so projecting the right appearance from the start is crucial – there's almost never a second chance.
The goal is not necessarily to look as attractive as possible, although you will want to shoot for a pleasing “look.” If your appearance is attractive but not businesslike, you can end up making the wrong impression for a salesperson entirely. The idea is to gain your prospects' trust by conveying the idea that you are giving them good advice when you suggest they buy your products. To that end, a businesslike appearance will get you farther than a superficially attractive one.
In a business situation, trustworthiness is based on several factors. People are inclined to trust businesspeople who are ethical, organized, knowledgeable, and reliable. These are the qualities most salespeople should strive to show in their overall appearance. The precise importance of each of these qualities will vary depending on your particular customer base. Selling to farmers and selling to bankers requires entirely different approaches to building your professional image.
Most customers will respond best to standard business attire. A basic suit, or a minimum of a tailored shirt and good-quality pants (for men) or a classic blouse and good pants or a skirt of moderate length (for women) is a good place to start. Clothes should be clean, free of stains and not wrinkled. Cologne or perfume is best used in moderation or skipped altogether, as many people suffer from allergies to these scents.
Your body language also matters a great deal in sales situations. Simple things like sitting up straight, making regular but not excessive eye contact and shaking hands firmly can make a huge difference in how others perceive you. Ideally, you want to convey an impression of confidence and competence without coming across as being arrogant or overly assertive.
Attention to the details of appearance extends beyond your own body. If prospects and/or customers meet you at your place of business, then you'll need to prepare your office to convey the same professional message. Your desk should be fairly clear with a few personal touches, such as photographs. Avoid excessive displays of your personal interests and hobbies, as these can detract from the overall impression. A framed certificate for first place in the golf tournament is fine, but covering your workspace with golfing memorabilia is a problem unless you're selling golf clubs.
You may be a somewhat disorganized person, but you don't want to shove that fact in your prospects' faces. Keep any stacks of paperwork and other clutter discreetly out of sight. Better yet, train yourself to deal with tasks as they arise and then put them away in the appropriate places. Be sure to provide a chair for visitors at a comfortable conversational distance from your own chair. And have a supply of basic items such as pens, paper and business cards available at all times.
Your car should also reflect a professional appearance, as prospects may easily end up seeing it during the course of business – for example; a prospect might walk you to your car after a meeting. Keep your car squeaky clean and tidy outside and in, and tend to any dents or dings as promptly as possible.

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (also known as Sunrise) is a 1927 American silent romantic comedy-drama directed by German director F. W. Murnau (in his American film debut) and starring George O'Brien, Janet Gaynor, and Margaret Livingston. The story was adapted by Carl Mayer from the short story "The Excursion to Tilsit", from the collection with the same title by Hermann Sudermann.
Murnau chose to use the then new Fox Movietone sound-on-film system, making Sunrise one of the first feature films with a synchronized musical score and sound effects soundtrack. The film incorporated Charles Gounod's 1872 composition Funeral March of a Marionette, which was later used as the theme for the television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955–65). Frédéric Chopin's A minor prelude also features prominently in orchestral arrangement.
Sunrise won the Academy Award for Unique and Artistic Picture at the 1st Academy Awards in 1929. Janet Gaynor won the first Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in the film (she also won for her performances in 1927's 7th Heaven and 1928's Street Angel). The film's legacy has endured, and it is now widely considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest films ever made. Many have called it the greatest film of the silent era. In 1989, Sunrise was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the United States Library of Congress for films that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The Academy Film Archive preserved Sunrise in 2004. The 2007 update of the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest American films ranked it number 82, and the British Film Institute's 2012 Sight & Sound critics' poll named it the fifth-best film in the history of motion pictures, while directors named it 22nd.
Full of cinematic innovations, the groundbreaking cinematography (by Charles Rosher and Karl Struss) features particularly praised tracking shots. Titles appear sparingly, with long sequences of pure action and the bulk of the story told in Murnau's signature style. The extensive use of forced perspective is striking, particularly in a shot of the City with normal-sized people and sets in the foreground and smaller figures in the background by much smaller sets.
Mordaunt Hall of The New York Times hailed Sunrise as "A Film Masterpiece". A reviewer for TIME, however, called its story "meagre" while writing that the film overall "manages to remain picturesquely soporific for a long evening." Sunrise is now widely considered by film critics and historians to be one of the greatest films ever made.
20th Century Fox originally released Sunrise on DVD in Region 1, but only as a special limited edition available only by mailing in proofs-of-purchase for other DVD titles in their "20th Century Fox Studio Classics" line, or as part of the box set Studio Classics: The 'Best Picture' Collection. The DVD includes commentary, a copy of the film's trailer, details about Murnau's lost film Four Devils, outtakes, and many more features.

Unlike the pets available for adoption at HOPE Humane Society, the financial situation is anything but lovable and comforting.
Humane Society Board Vice President Storm Nolan told the Times Record on Monday the shelter currently has $360,000 in the bank and is operating at a cost of nearly $30,000 per month, which doesn’t include salaries or other expenses. It also has a $500,000 line of credit through BancorpSouth that will be due in June, which the board wants to refinance.
A shelter donor previously said the loan was discovered after an interest payment sum of nearly $9,000 appeared on 2018 shelter financial reports.
The source said they addressed this issue with board members and was told former shelter director Joe Sprague took out the loan after the board advised him not to. The bank allegedly approved the request without any additional signatories, and the board desired to keep the loan secret, the source said.
Shelter Board President Sam Terry refuted this claim, saying the issue was discussed and approved by the board two years ago.
“We don’t have anything to hide,” Terry said Monday.
The loan was obtained to cover costs at the shelter, Terry said. According to minutes from a special meeting Feb. 1, 2017, this was justified due to a need for new doors, renovated puppy area, replacing kennels, adding kennels, clinic upgrades and a new building for more than 30 dogs, among other requests.
It was approved by an email vote of 9-1 for BancorpSouth on Feb. 3, 2017. Terry abstained from the vote, citing a conflict of interest.
The meeting minutes say BancorpSouth approved the loan of $500,000 with first-year interest only and a rate of 1.25 percent. The closing fee is listed at $500.
“They are setting the loan to mature in 2019, which we can pay it off with the trust money we will receive, or we could convert it to a 15-year loan,” the minutes say.
Board member Darren Minor and Vice President William Buckley moved to take BancorpSouth’s loan option, rather than the trust option, which was unanimously approved with Terry abstaining.
A second loan from another financial institution was also considered. The final offer was worth $450,000 with first-year interest only, interest rate of 0.25 percent and closing cost of $200. It only received one vote in favor.
The loan can be found on the shelter’s balance sheet under long-term liabilities, and the interest is listed on the profit and loss summary.
Terry said in December it would be nice if the shelter didn’t need to have a loan of this magnitude, but that’s not reality.
Sources say Sprague came in with a positive but underdeveloped plan as to how it would move from a high-kill to no-kill shelter in two years. They said his personality and mismanagement led to the board to dismiss him.
The Times Record contacted Sprague to allow him to speak on these claims, but he did not respond to a request for comment.
Ramona Roberts of Kitties and Kanines was recently brought on as an adviser to help organize the shelter operations. She previously said the bookkeeping department had little to no paperwork in the office, calling it “a mess” at the December board meeting. Deposits were done sporadically and cash was spread throughout the various buildings rather in a centralized location, Roberts said.
Roberts also said there was billing confusion due to auto-pay being selected for some accounts, and the shelter had a $4,000 water bill due to corrosion from bleach being used as a cleansing agent. These have been or are being remedied, Roberts reported, but they are signs of a struggling shelter.
Despite the managerial issues, Terry said he believes going no-kill did help increase private donations and community investment, and it’s highly unlikely unnecessary euthanizations will occur again.
Nolan said walking through the shelter, even with recent improvements, is still “just super sad.” The thousands of animals brought to the shelter in the past few years weren’t there due to their own actions but the irresponsibility of humans, and the Humane Society is having to bear almost the entire burden.
The city currently spends $300,000 per year on animal control services through the Fort Smith Police Department and contributes around $300,000 to the shelter per year as the designated impoundment facility, only 20 percent of the shelter’s annual $1.8 million operating budget.

Chesterfield have agreed a deal with Nottingham Forest for Jack Lester to return to the club as manager, Press Association Sport understands.
A compensation package is in place to allow Lester to leave his position as coach of the Reds Under-23 team and succeed Gary Caldwell.
Caldwell was sacked on September 16 just hours after Chesterfield's 2-1 home defeat to Accrington which left the Spireites second-bottom of League Two with just five points from eight matches.
Lester, who scored 94 goals for Chesterfield as a player between 2007 and 2013 and won the League Two title with the Spireites, is expected to be confirmed in his new role on Wednesday.
Director of recruitment and development Guy Branston oversaw Chesterfield's 1-0 defeat at Luton on Saturday and he will be in charge of the team for the final time against Yeovil at the Proact Stadium on Tuesday night.
Branston was involved in the selection process, making recommendations to the board, and Lester's appointment goes against his belief that the club needed a manager with a "proven track record".
However, Press Association Sport is led to believe Lester, 41, has someone in mind as his assistant with considerable managerial experience.
Lester played for Grimsby, Forest and Sheffield United before joining Chesterfield, where he made more than 200 appearances and won the League Two title in 2011 and Football League Trophy a year later. The Spireites retired his number 14 shirt when he left the club.
A brief spell at Gateshead followed before Lester made the step into coaching at Forest, leading the Reds Under-18 side to the Professional Development League title in 2015/16. He was promoted to the Under-23 job at the start of last season.
Chesterfield host Cheltenham on Saturday in what will be Lester's first game in charge and a boost in attendance is expected as fans welcome back a club hero.

Photographer Jennifer Bin shows Shanghai as you have never seen it before.
Jennifer Bin’s appearance is just as extraordinary and futuristic as her pictures. Dressed all in black, the designer with dyed pale pink hair and nose ring almost looks as if she’s straight out of a science fiction film. Her alert gaze focuses on her interlocutor. She talks quickly, but with a firm and clear voice, her hands resting on her lap. She radiates the very thing you feel when looking at her photos: a certain fearlessness, courage and the irrefutable self-confidence to discover a modern metropolis like Shanghai in her very own special way. For Montblanc, the Canadian with Chinese roots has placed the #MY4810 Trolley in a futuristic light. Learn more about her vocation and bizarre nocturnal encounters in this interview.
Ms Bin, what’s so special about taking pictures in Shanghai?
What I like is the variety of different motifs. Many people see Shanghai as a very futuristic city, almost as though it’s from a science fiction film like Blade Runner. The truth is that Shanghai offers many contrasts: avant-garde architecture and a breathtaking skyline, but also gritty streets in the workingclass districts.
(Laughs) Not so many. But it is remarkable how far some of the photogenic places are from each other. Many of the new and architecturally interesting buildings are in the suburbs. It sometimes takes up to two hours to get to them.
With a population of more than 24 million people, megacity Shanghai is one of the most exciting cities in the world.
How do you show Shanghai from a new perspective?
I don’t follow a strict plan. I just let things happen. It’s essential for my work that I’m open-minded. I try to get behind the facades. Both literally and figuratively: I walk through every door that’s open and try to discover what’s behind it.
Most of your photos are taken at night. What is the difference between that and shooting in the daytime?
I just like the way the city looks at night, especially when the weather’s clear. My goal is to make the photos look futuristic. Somehow not of this world. I’m a big fan of the blue hour, because the play of colours at this time contributes a lot to the feeling that I want my motifs to convey. Day shots are shrouded in grey like in a dystopia. At night, the neon signs glow brightly and bathe the city in a vibrant light. That’s when Shanghai changes its character. If you’re open to new experiences, you can discover fantastic things during this time.
With whispering wheels and height-adjustable bar the #MY4810 Trolley is the perfect companion for the urban traveller.
That sounds exciting. What have been your most extraordinary experiences in Shanghai?
(Laughs) Almost every time I go out in the evening, something unpredictable happens in the street. Apart from the usual cultural differences, I’ve already experienced several flash mobs. One night, I was sitting on the subway when about 20 people got on the train dressed as teddy bears handing out flyers.
What motifs are still on your bucket list, beyond Shanghai?
Whew, that’s a difficult question to answer because I want to visit as many cities as possible. But what particularly attracts me are dramatic nature shots of remote places. That’s why I dream of exploring Iceland and the Faroe Islands and adding another facet to my passion for photography.
Fear of heights or fear of getting caught: Jennifer Bin surely takes a risk for her art.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management announced today that it is taking the next steps in the review for a potential Mid-Atlantic Wind Energy Transmission Line. Atlantic Grid Holdings LLC has requested a right-of-way grant to develop the Atlantic Wind Connection, a proposed high-voltage direct current transmission line that would collect power generated by offshore wind facilities and deliver it to the regional high-voltage grid. The proposed electrical transmission system would enable up to 7,000 megawatts of wind turbine capacity to be delivered to the grid.
The bureau is asking whether other developers are interested in constructing transmission facilities in this area. BOEM is also seeking comments on the potential environmental consequences of a renewable energy transmission line on the Outer Continental Shelf, off the coasts of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
The proposed transmission line would be constructed in phases to connect offshore wind power to the grid based on the company’s anticipated timing of offshore wind generation. A right-of-way grant occupies a corridor 200 feet wide, centered on the cable. The right-of-way grant corridor is anticipated to extend approximately 820 statute miles and full construction would take approximately 10 years.
All interested parties are asked to provide information about site conditions and multiple uses within the area that would be relevant to the proposed project or its environmental and socioeconomic impacts. A map of the area proposed and a copy of the application is available at: http://www.BOEM.gov/offshore/RenewableEnergy/StateActivities-RegionalProposals.htm.
Electronically: http://www.boem.gov/About-BOEM/Public-Engagement/Public-Engagement-Opportunities.aspx. Click on the “Public Comment” link and follow the instructions to submit public comments and to view supporting and related materials.

Sometimes a year comes along and you’re filling in your Ten Best bracket and the Numero Uno isn’t quite clear but you have to put them in some kind of order or end up with a pasty-faced alphabetical list. So you look for the X factor. Which for me would be: if a few movies of the last 12 months achieved a high level of grace and cinematic excitement, which one astonished? Which one either kicked the movies forward into new realms, or managed to be something I’d never quite seen before?
For my 2002 accounting, the latter point was nailed by The Fast Runner (Atanarjuat), a three-hour epic of Inuit life directed by Zacharias Kunuk. The film tells a ripping yarn that might have been knocking around for a thousand years or so, yet bristles with a completely modern humor. It is fascinating as a look at an unfamiliar culture, yet it carries not a whiff of National Geographic sobriety. It is shot on video on a presumably small budget, yet it has vistas and plot turns that would make David Lean’s eyebrows furrow with envy.
The Two Towers was the best segment of Jackson’s trilogy, and a real movie unto itself (in which the slippery Gollum emerged as the true protagonist of the whole saga). Polanski’s Oscar-winner was a fine reminder of this director’s command, and The Man Without a Past a beautiful example of what Kaurismaki can do when he rouses himself for disciplined work. Heaven, based on a Kieslowski script, is a strange little closed-system thing, but it’s well suited to Tywker’s particular talents and it gives a strong role to Cate Blanchett (even Giovanni Ribisi is on good behavior). And The Emperor’s New Clothes, a comedy on the subject of Napoleon (Ian Holm in good form), sneaks in there because it’s an ingenious picture that slipped by almost completely unnoticed.
I almost made room for Robert Rodriguez’s daffy Spy Kids 2, which is a real example of directorial giddiness; I feel less disappointed about leaving off the official arthouse successes of the year, Far from Heaven and Talk to Her.

Louisville, KY — March 2, 2016 — Amid a sea of bejeweled evening gowns and perky fascinators, bowler hats and bow ties, the Helicopter Association International (HAI) hosted a gathering of vertical aviation’s movers and shakers on Wednesday March, 2, 2016, to honor the industry’s finest. The 55th Annual HAI Salute to Excellence Awards Dinner held during the 2016 HeliExpo in Louisville, Kentucky, was an Oscars-meets-Kentucky Derby evening, complete with a bluegrass band and “Call to the Post” from a red-uniformed horn blower from Churchill Downs.
Dana Kerrick, the recently retired co-founder of IAC Ltd., was honored with the Bell Helicopter Lifetime Achievement Award. Kerrick was all smiles at the awards dinner with his wife, Paulene, at his side when he was presented the award with all the fanfare of a major motion-picture award ceremony. Dana Kerrick has spent a lifetime serving the aviation industry. For more than 5 ½ decades, Kerrick has worked as a military and civilian maintenance specialist, civilian pilot, flight instructor, air taxi operator, and pioneer in helicopter rotor blade composites.
Kerrick is recognized throughout the industry as one of the foremost experts in rotor blade inspection, maintenance, and repair — and has written extensively for numerous helicopter maintenance and aviation publications. Kerrick’s course on rotor blade preventive maintenance has been part of the rotor safety challenge since its inception at HAI HeliEXPO 2013 in Las Vegas.
Kerrick began his aviation career in the US Air Force working on B-52s. He re-entered the civilian workforce in 1970 but didn’t discover helicopters until he turned 40. He is a pilot of both airplanes and rotorcraft, and is an FAA-approved inspection authority renewal instructor.
Outside of work, Kerrick volunteered as part of the San Joaquin County, California, Sheriff’s Air Posse for 40 years, flying both helicopters and airplanes in support of department operations.

Adam Sprung, our President, had a very determined grandmother named Bella. In 1926, she convinced her husband Isidore to give up his business and help her establish a monument company. Bella had the special kind of personality that made everyone feel at ease, and she knew that starting a business that helped people in their time of need was the right profession for her. While helping people memorialize their loved ones, she cared for her infant son, Hy.
After Hy returned from military service in World War II he took the unconventional step of opening a showroom on Queens Boulevard. Placing a memorial company in a populated, growing area instead of near a cemetery was a big risk, but Hy believed families should not have to travel far to choose a memorial. He wanted families to have a place right in the neighborhood that was dedicated to only one thing — creating memorials of the highest quality and craftsmanship.
Over the years, Hy committed himself to providing personal service to many families in New York and New Jersey. He created the Craftsmen Center, which was later expanded by his son, Adam, into a comfortable selection center. Adam assumed leadership of the family business and brought other memorial companies into the Sprung organization so more families could benefit from the convenience and comfort of having this service close to them when they needed it.
Like their father and grandparents before them, Adam believes that the lives of our loved ones should be expressed by the monuments we create for them. Adam and the Sprung Monument staff dedicate themselves to the business, and to the creative task of producing memorials that symbolize the life of the individual and the love of the family.

Celeriac tart - pretty nice.
Cheese croquette - nice and molten center.
Foie gras bon bon - with a cherry coating. Very smooth both on the outside and on the inside.
The amuse bouche was fava bean espouma, with cheese sauce and a sprinkle of hazelnuts.
Speciale Ancelin N°4 from Bourcefranc-le-Chapus in the Marenne Oléron, wrapped in a thin layer of agar flavored with cucumber or French melon, and served on small, round discs of cucumber or French melon, respectively. Topped with a quenelle of French melon sorbet, and some crunchy peanuts.
This was such a beautiful dish. Both the cucumber and the melon delivered refreshing and clean sensations in the mouth, and the sweetness from the melon sorbet somewhat neutralized the mineral flavors of the seas from the oysters. This reminded me of another oyster dish at Restaurant André, which blew me away.
Le foie gras de canard - this is a dish that I no longer order at restaurants, because it has become so mainstream and common. This came with some poached rhubarb for the acidity, a piece of rice crispy on top, and a puddle of delicious tonka bean butter foam on the side.
Needless to say, the execution was flawless. I may not have ordered it, but I'll always enjoy it when it's done well.
There was also a little cup of rhubarb sauce topped with rhubarb granité to cleanse the palate afterwards.
L'asperge de Jérome Galis - incredible. Proof that a simple dish with the freshest ingredients can be just as amazing. These asparagus spears were simply amazing. Simply drizzled with some olive oil, garnished with a single garlic flower, and served with a light and airy hollandaise sauce (menu indicates mousseline).
Le Saint Pierre - slow-cooked John Dory, covered with a thin sheet of zucchini purée (menu says lardo), served with salicornia, a salicornia fish sauce, and avocado purée on the side.
I find John Dory boring in general, but salicornia is always interesting - especially that sauce! The avocado purée was surprisingly a little acidic.
Le pigeon - OF COURSE I would choose the pigeon over some Kagoshima wagyu... No-brainer here.
Ossau - not too hard, actually, and a little salty.
Couronne Lochoise - pretty mild for a goat cheese, simply creamy with just a little salt and a slight acidic finish.
Saint-Felix - with ash in between the layers. Harder in texture, with more salt and acidity here.
Munster - definitely pretty strong, and a little stinky. Bitter on the palate.
Roquefort - as expected this was simply too salty for me on its own, so I had to take it with the fig jam.
Le citron de Menton - a very refreshing lemon mousse, with delicious and crunchy pineapple confit, rice crispies, and faisselle sorbet.
La forêt noire - a new take on the Black Forest cake, served with a sauce made with cherries and cherry liqueur.
Inside the white chocolate shell was the classic chocolate cake with cherries.
A quenelle of cherry sorbet on the side makes it complete.
At the end of the meal, tea and coffee are served. To ensure that diners give the tea enough time in the pot, they've provided a little hourglass which runs out in 3 minutes. Very thoughtful.
The mignardises arrived to bring our meal to a close.
Pistachio and jasmine cake with white chocolate - happy to have actually tasted the jasmine.
Truffle and chocolate macaron - I definitely tasted truffle oil in here.
Against my better judgement, I decided to order a bottle of Champagne. I inquired about the corkage charge when I called to make a reservation, and was informed that it would be HKD 700. W-T-F?! Paying HKD 500 in the city's 5-star hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants is something I am more than happy to do, but this just felt like highway robbery. I was very tempted to give the restaurant the finger by not letting them earn a dime on wine.
But I did take a look at the wine list, and ended up picking a bottle of grower Champagne that I liked, at a fairy "reasonable" price. So I gave in and did something I almost never do - order a bottle off a restaurant's wine list.
Françoise Bedel Dis, "Vin Secret" - ripe and caramelized nose, plummy notes. A little more fragrant later, and almost cane sugar, a little mineral and savory. Higher acidity on the palate, but ripe and smooth. Delicious.
I gotta say that dinner tonight was immensely enjoyable. I came in with reasonably high expectations, and by the large the restaurant delivered. It is certainly one of the better fine dining venues in town, and I felt the quality delivered by the kitchen was commensurate with the price charged. Looking forward to coming back.

Since 1855 the Registrar General of Scotland has, under statute, produced an annual report containing a general abstract of the numbers of births, deaths, and marriages registered during the foregoing year. We have continued the tradition for the year 2004. However, the annual report has undergone a major makeover. The reasoning behind the change was to produce a shorter easier to read report, in colour, with additional commentary and charts. This is the second edition of 'Scotland's Population - the Registrar General's Annual review of Demographic Trends'.
Tables containing 2004 data will be divided into 9 sections; Summary; Population; Births; Stillbirths and infant deaths; Deaths; Deaths by cause; Marriages; Divorces and Adoptions and re-registrations. The tables (listed below) are based on vital event numbers.
*Note: On 27 July 2007 the Mid-year population estimates for 2003-2006 were revised for the 6 Council areas of Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, Angus, Dundee City, Moray and Perth & Kinross. As a result, Tables 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.8 and 3.8 have been revised. More details on the 'Revised Mid-year Population Estimates 2003-2006' are available on this website.

The tales of the Victorian-era detectives of Scotland Yard in England and the Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency in the United States of America continue to entertain us today. But few people are familiar with a detective agency of that same era that boasted a network of connections beyond those of Scotland Yard and Pinkerton’s combined.
Mrs. Booth’s Enquiry Bureau was set up by the Salvation Army in 1885 in the impoverished London neighbourhood of Hackney, and run by a professional detective. Within a year, the Bureau opened branch offices in New York, Chicago and Toronto, as well as Melbourne and Sydney in Australia. The agency was immediately swamped with queries asking for help in finding missing family members, and it had a remarkable success rate.
…the average of finds is very large—one in three. Scotland Yard—which is supposed to be the best detective agency in the world—only averages one in ten.
In the 19th century, millions of British citizens were on the move. Young men and women left the impoverished farms in the counties for the promise of jobs in cities like London. Shiploads of emigres set sail for Canada, Australia or other British colonies. Many were never heard from again.
As families fretted about the lack of news from a daughter gone off to be a domestic in a big house in London, or wondered what had become of a son who joined the flood of immigrants seeking farmland on the Canadian prairies, they turned to the Salvation Army. The SA had established a great many corps in rural England, and in many cases, its officers were often the only official network families could turn to, other than the police, for help finding their missing kinfolk.
By 1885, SA founders William and Catherine Booth were already overseeing rescue homes for abandoned and destitute women and were running shelters for destitute men. William Booth lamented that, in any year, some 18,000 husbands, sons, mothers and daughters disappeared into the factories and slums of London—and 9,000 were never heard of again. He instructed the Army’s head of women’s social work, his daughter-in-law Florence Booth, to establish the bureau to answer the many pleas for information on the missing. “Mrs. Booth’s Enquiry Bureau” opened in 1885 at 259 Mare Street in London.
The Army wanted a professional detective to run the Bureau, and Clifford Harland fit the bill. Harland was already a successful and well respected detective working on the sensitive investigation of a British Member of Parliament when he caught the attention of William Booth. Harland attended his first Salvation Army meeting in 1886 on Oxford Street in London’s West End. He was there in search of his agency chief, a Salvationist, for instructions on the case, but since his chief was part of the service, he was forced to sit through the sermon before he could speak with him. Harland was so impressed with the meeting leader’s oratory that he decided then and there that the Salvation Army was right for him. He quit his employment with the private detective agency in 1888 and took on the management of the Enquiry Bureau at the rank of Staff-Captain.
The first public record of a Bureau investigation was in October 1885 with an appeal from a husband whose wife had disappeared, which was published in the British War Cry, the Army newspaper sold to the public. By the end of that year, the Bureau initiated its first international case in the search for a missing woman in Canada. Initially, the Bureau’s work was fairly straightforward—tracking down a lad too embarrassed by his failure in the city to return home, or a maid who had been put out into the street after rejecting the advances of her employer and turned to prostitution to survive. This the Bureau undertook for a fee of 10s. 6d. (ten shillings and six pence), or for free if the applicant was unable to pay.
Other cases were more complicated. Some involved investigating the abductions of young women at train stations and parks by sophisticated enterprises bent on entrapping girls into prostitution. Other girls were sold into brothels or shipped from the country into white slavery on the Continent, and in South America and the Near East. As noted in the War Cry (Canadian edition, 8 June 1896), Bureau agents were employed to “hunt up the titled and rich scoundrels who gloat over the ruin of many girls, and bring them to justice”. The Army used moral suasion to have them take responsibility or sign legal promises of financial support for the children they fathered, collected by the Army on behalf of the children.
The Bureau’s agents went far beyond just finding missing people and letting their kinfolk know. Part of the agency’s mandate was to help restore and heal families where they could. Sometimes, it meant protecting people who had good reason to run away from those seeking them. Or it could mean encouraging a father who had abandoned his children to do right by them. The Bureau offices also served as a refuge for any girl seeking to escape prostitution or who felt trapped in a bad situation.
The Enquiry Bureau investigated more than just missing persons cases. It took on cases involving disputes between masters and servants, as well as wills, legacies and other property matters. Interestingly, the Bureau also advertised that it would take cases “of a certain nature” for those who could pay the fee, a sufficiently vague description that opened the door to a potentially wide range of investigations.
The result is that a large percentage of individuals sought for are discovered, dead or alive, for in such work the Salvation Army has advantages denied to any other body, scarcely excepting the police. Its representatives are everywhere, and to whatever land they may belong or whatever language they may speak, all of them obey an order sent out from Headquarters wholeheartedly and uninfluenced by question of reward.
The Army also made good use of the "Missing!" columns in the War Cry to advertise for assistance in their enquiries. The British edition had a circulation of 300,000, with other versions of the War Cry published in a variety of languages in 23 other countries.
In 1897, the London office alone was receiving some 3,500 enquiries a year. The Army changed the structure of the Bureau at that point, and renamed the agency the International Investigation Department.
Mrs. Booth’s Enquiry Bureau, begun in 1885, continues to this day as the Salvation Army Missing Persons or SA Family Tracing Service, with offices in 120 countries. The Army now limits its cases to locating missing family members, reunifying families, and helping heal the wounds that may have caused separations.

Nearly every issue of the War Cry carried a Missing column. The Enquiry Bureau placed notices in the Army's two-dozen newspapers around the world, wherever they might generate information on people the Bureau was searching for. This column appeared in the 14 November 1896 Canadian War Cry. The fee for launching an investigation was fifty cents.

I am an independently licensed independent social worker providing clinical therapy / mental health services in the Des Moines Metro region. I completed my Masters of Social Work from the University of Northern Iowa in 2005. My areas of expertise include lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, and questioning concerns, post traumatic stress disorder and Veteran specific needs, depression, grief, anxiety, and addiction.
Much of my career has been dedicated to providing individual therapy and coordinating clinical programming in federal and non-profit settings. I rely heavily on a person-centered approach and finding internal motivators for change. I enjoy the central tenants of Buddhism and other spiritual journeys we seek to find meaning and purpose in life. I'm also actively learning and using an approach called Internal Family Systems. You can google this to see if it would be a fit for you. I believe we all have "parts" of our personalities that are either undiscovered or have become blended with us and this makes life confusing. I'm interested and passionate to discover theses sides to help people live more enriched lives. I completed the training course for EMDR related to the treatment of trauma in 2018. I have found this to be a remarkably impacting experience for those who have chosen to engage in this process and am excited for my journey to become fully certified.
I am blessed to have been mentored by wonderful people who helped me embrace the capacity for change and resilience. It is an amazing experience to help others improve the quality of their lives and build relationships. I believe in the capacity for healing and hope in every person, even in the most difficult circumstances.
The Addiction, Technology Transfer Network (ATTC) and the University of Iowa trained me in LGBTQ sensitivity for providers in 2009. I was also certified in Motivational Interviewing and Motivational Enhancement Therapy awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2012.
I am an advocate of LGBTQI civil rights and was nominated and elected to the Board of Directors of One Iowa in February 2015. While I no longer serve on the board, I'm eternally grateful for my time spent with One Iowa and specifically to Donna RedWing who further ignited my passion for having a voice and utilizing ones abilities to impact change efforts.
Other interests include spending time with my twin toddlers and dedicating my life as a mom. I'm interested in animal assisted therapy and have a love of Bernese Mountain Dogs and photography. I do have a good canine citizen (certified CGC) who does visit my office intermittently but not often.

A lemon vehicle is any car with an unserviceable defect, or multiple defects, that significantly impacts the driver’s safety or undermines the overall value of the car. Laws vary by state, but generally, if you’ve tried to repair the same defect in your car 4 or more times, or have repaired multiple defects in the same car within the manufacturer’s warranty period, and the vehicle remains unfixed, you probably have a lemon. Laws that protect you against the purchase of defective cars are known as lemon laws.
The Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is known as the federal lemon law and makes it illegal for manufacturers to not meet the terms of their warranty. This law applies to a broad range of consumer goods, including automobiles. All 50 states have additional state lemon laws to protect consumers, many of which apply specifically to automobiles.
State by state, the conditions of Lemon Laws vary widely, so it is important to become familiar with your state’s definition. Minor defects, such as annoying rattles or scratched upholstery do not qualify as lemons. Major defects that affect safety and value, such as faulty brakes, slipping transmissions and seat belts that don’t retract, can constitute a lemon. If you’ve had the same problem repaired over and over and the problem still persists, it’s time to start building your case.
Document the frequency of repairs, including date of repairs, mechanic or repair shop who performed repairs, and service performed. Keep your paperwork.
Allow the manufacturer an opportunity to fix the problem.
Have proof of the beginning and end date of your manufacturer’s warranty.
These actions will be required in all states, regardless of their definition of a lemon.
What If I Bought a Used Car?
Once again, laws affecting used cars vary by state. Some states include used cars in their existing lemon laws. Other states will have different statutes written specifically for used cars. Other states will not cover used cars at all.
If you’ve bought a used car, and are not covered by lemon laws, you still may have legal recourse if you’ve been a victim of consumer fraud. A consumer rights lawyer will be qualified to advise you on this matter.
If you successfully prove you have purchased a lemon, you are entitled to a refund or replacement of the vehicle. In some states, if you have properly documented all requirements, you may be able to file a complaint and receive your refund or replacement. But in most states, and for most lemon situations, it is a good idea to seek the advice of a legal expert.
A consumer rights lawyer can make sure you have all necessary documentation, can handle complaints with the manufacturer and state for you, and make sure you receive the full compensation that you are entitled to. An attorney can also handle arbitration with the manufacturer if required by your state’s laws. Depending on your state’s lemon laws, and whether or not your attorney sues under the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, you may be entitled to recover all or some of your attorney fees.
Did you buy a lemon? If so, contact an experienced Consumer Protection Attorney in your area today!

Water makes up 92 percent of the watermelon fruit.
1 Why Does Watermelon Split While Growing?
2 Why Do Watermelons Crack?
4 Why Are My Cantaloupes Splitting When They Are Not Ripe?
Watermelons (Citrullus lanatus) are warm-season annual garden crops prized for their large, juicy fruits. Different varieties mature at different rates, offer varied fruit sizes and flesh characteristics and may or may not be seedless. Regardless of the watermelon variety growing in your garden, it is alarming when nearly mature fruits split open on the vine or ripe fruits split open during handling.
Watermelon vines require a lot of water to grow and produce quality fruit, but if water is supplied incorrectly it can lead to splitting. Fruit split is caused by an erratic watering pattern, particularly excessive irrigation or rainfall during the last two weeks of growth. The excessive moisture causes a great deal of pressure on the inside of the fruit, which will split open with even slight tapping or during normal harvesting. Watermelons benefit from deep, occasional waterings that wet the top 6 inches of soil with each irrigation and supply a total of 1 to 2 inches of water weekly. As fruits ripen, reducing the amount of water supplied will improve fruit flavor. Some cultivars might be more prone to splitting than others.

So on average, considering previous special edition flavours, how long do I have to order if I want to order some of this special edition? I just ordered recently and have a decent stock of queal on hand, but I want to try this flavour. How long can I wait and still have a reasonable chance to get some?
Hi @davetagliaferri, thanks for your interest in Buttermilk Blueberry Pancake!
Previously, some of the Limited Editions were so successful that they sold out very fast. Because of this, we recently decided to up the production of every new, limited flavour.
As there are currently 2 LE's available (Walnut Wonder & Buttermilk Blueberry Pancake) I would say that the latter will be available for another 3 weeks at least, possibly 5.
What you describe, is exactly my problem. Before ordering 5 LE bags, I want to know if I like it enough. So I order just 1 or 2, together with some other flavours. And when I like the taste, I have to order more while I still have enough Quesl on stock. And ordering just two bags is expensive. So most of the time, I wait with my order, untill there is a new LE (even when I'm out of queal) so that I can try it, and order more if I am lucky enough it is still available. And if it is, I order 5 bags. But then, when another LE comes up, I still have enough. So two LE at the same time is better. So there is enough time for a second order. Blueberry pancake and walnut are both delicious by the way! Another LE problem is the monthly renewal. Most of my orders I have to pay the full price, because I like the LE most, but don't know upfront how many I want.

Despite the late expansionary monetary policies of Frankfurt, the horse does not drink. Or maybe it cannot access the pond.
The Italian GDP per capita is at its 10 year lowest (25 256 euro), and above all, Italy is divided in two. Split.
People in the Northwest produce over €30 000 (30 821), overtaking the South by a lap, stuck at 16,761 Euros. It is the most eye-catching number of “Noi” (We) the official report released by Istat, the National Institute of Statistics. Also the collection of data on labor is striking, in line with the negative data of the gross domestic product per capita: 55.1 people of non-working age for each 100 of working age – and these numbers keep going up – and in the age group between 24 and 64, four out of ten people do not have jobs. With a significant imbalance to the detriment of women (70.6% men are employed, vs. 50.6% of women), and with a clear geographical divide between employment in the center-north and in the south.
Relative poverty affects about 10% of households, and absolute poverty hits another 5.7%.
In 2014, the severe material deprivation indicator, an indicator of economic difficulties, marks a small decrease (from 12.3 to 11.6%), but it affects as many as 7 million people, four of them in the southern regions.
Certainly not by chance, the incidence of precarious work in 2015 rose to 14% and it is highest in the South (18.4%) than in the center north (12.5%). As to the part-time employees (18.5%), it is going up. While investments remain stuck at a low 17%.
Yet another confirmation of a very difficult situation comes from the indicators of power consumption, an indicator of manufacturing output. In 2014, electricity consumption fell 3% compared to 2013, as production decreased (-4.3%).
Energy consumption is at its lowest level in the last 12 years, the now distant 2004.
One small consolation is that 31.3% of energy consumption was generated from renewable sources, Italy exceeds the EU average (25.4%).
Within the EU, Italy is the fourth most populous country, with 60 million and 656 thousand residents, after Germany, France and the United Kingdom. But in the job classification, the unemployment rate of 11.7% – that does not include those who occasionally works with vouchers and the like – remains high. In the EU, only Greece, Croatia and Spain have employment rates lower than the 56.4% Italian one. Moreover, 58.1% of unemployed have been looking for work for over a year.
Needless to say, disillusionment reigns, especially among young people.
If Mario Draghi speaks of the high risk of a lost generation, Istat figures tell that 25.7% of Italians between 15 and 29 years of age do not study and do not work. The incidence is slightly higher among women (27.1%), and much more marked in the South: in Sicily and Calabria, it is close to 40%.
It is not comforting to see that, compared to 2014, the so-called Neet declined slightly, since the rate was 26.5%. However, this is the first decline since 2008.
The photograph Istat takes also notes a steady decline in the average number of children per woman.
In 2014 it stood at 1.37, compared to the necessary 2.1 to ensure generational replacement. Fortunately, there are the immigrants: at the beginning of 2015, more than 5 million have been registered (1.9% more than in 2014), representing 8.2% of total residents.
And they have a lower average education level than Italians: in the age range between 15 and 64, nearly half of the foreigners have a middle school school diploma, 40.1% have a high school diploma, and 10.1% have a college degree (while 15.5% of Italians have completed a college degree).
Last bad news: for the first time in the last 10 years, in 2015, life expectancy is set back by 0.2 points for men (80.1) and 0.3 for women (84.7). In the South, as usual, we are below the national average.
The crime statistics indicate that the number of murders and robberies have been in decline for some time, while the incidence of theft increased slightly. Yet in 2015, 41.1% of the families have a high perceived risk of crime, compared to 30% in 2014, resuming the growth trend interrupted only in the previous year.

ZANESVILLE, Ohio. – A special trailer traveling the country is bringing drug awareness for parents, family members and more.
The Code 3 camper was parked outside of the South Zanesville Walmart today. Consultant for the Rx Abuse Leadership Initiative, Jenny Camper said the company helped bring the trailer to Zanesville. Camper said the Rx Abuse Leadership Initiative works with local organizations to create a healthier environment.
“We work with a lot of local organizations like Muskingum County Behavioral Health, other groups like Prevention Action Alliance in Ohio. What we really want to do is kind of lift up and promote the good work that a lot of these local agencies are doing in the area of drug addiction, prevention, and education,” said Camper.
The trailer’s interior design is made to look like a teenager’s bedroom. They showed where kids might typically hide their drugs. It also shows what remanence of drug use might look like.
If you missed the trailer in Zanesville, you can go to www.ralioh.org for more locations the trailer will be in Ohio.

If you're looking for the fanciest Android smartphone on the block, your search is over... for now.
It’s here. Samsung has been talking about the next big thing for some time already and now it has finally arrived. Skipping completely over the Note 6, we have now been presented with the all new Samsung Galaxy Note7. And I use “all new” with my tongue planted pretty firmly in the side of my cheek, but that isn’t really a bad thing. In fact, it’s a good thing. It’s a very good thing.
As we mentioned in our initial hands-on video with the Samsung Galaxy Note7, the rationale behind skipping the Note 6 is two-fold. First, it’s to align the numbering scheme with the main Galaxy S line, since the Galaxy Note7 shares so much DNA with the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge (and S6 edge+). Secondly, when you include the Note Edge, this is technically the seventh phone in the Note series.
Naming curiosities aside, the Galaxy Note7 really is the culmination of what Samsung has been working on for the last few years. We liked how the Galaxy S5 was waterproof, but you had to deal with the fiddly flap. We liked the premium design of the Galaxy S6, but we lost the microSD slot. We liked the clicky S Pen of the Galaxy Note 5, but you could shove that stylus in there the wrong way. All of those have been addressed here.
In effect, we get the best features of these phones that came before it, while addressing the shortcomings that irked us. The Samsung Galaxy Note7, for many intents and purposes, represents the mashing together of the Galaxy S6 edge (with its dual curved display) and the Galaxy Note 5.
Unsurprisingly, we don’t really have anything to worry about when we look at the spec sheet on this phone. Whether you get the Snapdragon 820 in North America or the Exynos 8890 in other markets, performance is of little concern. Curiously, considering just how super premium Samsung has made this phone, it “only” has 4GB of RAM. I never really found myself lacking, but the highest of the high end are pushing more than four gigs these days.
The phone gets IP68 certification for waterproof protection, including when the S Pen is taken out, and there’s only one SKU with 64GB of internal storage, plus the microSD expansion slot. Other highlights on the Samsung Galaxy Note7 include the 12MP camera (the same as the S7 and S7 edge), 5MP camera on the front, dual wireless charging support, and a larger 3500 mAh battery. Coupled with fast charging and dual wireless charging support, we don’t really miss the removable battery.
But really, the Note7 is just gorgeous. The 5.7-inch AMOLED display gets the same QHD resolution as before, except now it’s curved on both sides like the S7 edge. The curve is less gradual and with the curved back too, this makes for a phablet that’s much more compact than you might think. It’s surprisingly comfortable to hold and the side bezels practically do disappear. It has the heft and solid feel of a premium device. And Samsung has finally jumped on the USB-C wagon too while still retaining the headphone jack, at least for now.
You really do get the sense that Samsung didn’t even want to stop at the kitchen sink with this thing. They didn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, but they definitely took more of a shotgun approach when it comes to features. Want a fingerprint reader? That’s still in the home button. Want both Powermat and Qi wireless charging? Sure thing. Want an always on display with a few more options? Not a problem. More edge panels? Okay! Want an iris scanner? Never knew you wanted an iris scanner?
While most of the feature list on the Samsung Galaxy Note7 mirrors that of the S7 and the Note 5, one of the newest features is the inclusion of the iris scanner. This works by way of two additional units near the top of the phone. One is an infrared transmitter and the other is an infrared receiver. In some ways, this is similar to the facial recognition technology that we’ve seen before, but taken to another level. Because it’s infrared, it works in the dark. It also means that holding up a photo of you won’t work.
In practice, I’m not convinced that an iris scanner is any more convenient than a fingerprint reader. You need to hold the phone at just the right distance and open your eyes wide. This takes a little getting used to. The other thing is that initiating the iris scanner takes more steps than holding your thumb on the home button. You must first wake the phone (either with the power button or the home button). Then, you need to swipe to get past the lock screen. Then, you need to stare at your phone. It’s that second step, the swiping, that made this process too slow for me.
The actual iris recognition is reasonably fast when you get used to it, but I found it’s still faster to use the fingerprint reader. This is mostly because I can wake the phone by pressing the home button and just keep my finger there. Fewer steps. That said, the iris scanner is supposed to be more secure and more accurate, so there’s that.
To be perfectly honest, I’ve always been of the camp where I fiddle around with the S Pen in the beginning to see what it can do, but then it just stays in its slot the rest of the time. Don’t get me wrong. The S Pen can be useful to the right user. If you’re someone who likes to sketch, you’ll appreciate how much smoother things have become. You’ll also like how you can “blend” colors together on the screen now and the whole IP68 thing is pretty neat.
In an effort to make the S Pen more useful to a greater number of users, Samsung went ahead and took the kitchen sink approach again. You can now do even more with the S Pen. Old standbys like magnify are still around, which is great for accessibility, but you also get to take a “video” screen capture that is then converted into an animated GIF. The “Glance” feature lets you shrink down an app so you can multitask more effectively.
For people who liked the S Pen before, the “new” S Pen on the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is a nice little upgrade. For the rest of us, I’m still not sold on the idea. I do like the screen off quick memo though, but that’s not new anymore.
In my experience, Samsung has done a terrific job with its camera technology for a number of years now. The Samsung Galaxy Note7 continues that tradition, because it’s basically the same camera as the Galaxy S7. The processing can be on the more aggressive side, so you may encounter some high contrast over-sharpness. They dial up the color saturation too, which becomes even more pronounced on the super contrasty Super AMOLED screen.
By default, video shot on the Note7 will be in FHD 1080p, but you can dial that up to UHD 4K video (3840 x 2160 pixels) if you like. When you do, you lose HDR (rich tone), video effects and tracking autofocus. Embedded here is a 1080p sample. You can see the image stabilization at work with that wobble as I take each step.
There are also a number of additional modes and filters you can play with for taking pictures, like the “food” mode for simulated bokeh. I found the camera also performed admirably in low light, which is a definite plus. Old features, like wide selfie and using the heartbeat sensor on the back as a selfie shutter, still apply. Check my Flickr photostream for additional samples.
When you’re sitting at the top of the price range in a shiny range-topping design, you’d better bring some top-of-the-line performance to the table too. The Samsung Galaxy Note7 is certainly no slouch.
In Geekbench, it earned single-core and multi-core scores of 2321 and 5392, respectively. In the PCMark work performance benchmark and the 3DMark Sling Shot test, it got scores of 6034 and 2541, respectively. For AnTuTu, that’s 96705, compared to the 60355 of the Galaxy S6. All together, this phone is right at the top, where it belongs.
A major concern when you have this much performance on this large of a display at this high of resolution with all these features is that you’ll be reaching for the charger far more quickly than you’d like. Your mileage will vary, of course, but even with the always-on display activated and with several Pokemon GO sessions, I could push the Samsung Galaxy Note7 to last well over 24 hours between charges.
And that’s only because I like staying above 50% whenever I can. If I let the phone drain completely, which I did on a couple of occasions, it was somewhere in the 36 hour range. Utilize a power saving mode and some other optimizations, like lowering the screen brightness, and you may be able to push that 3500 mAh battery even further. I have heard reports of some third-party apps draining the battery though, so be mindful of background apps.
MEGATechie Lucky Number 7 or MEGATechie Something of Note?
Without any shadow of a doubt, the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is undeniably the best smartphone that the company has ever created. The battery life is great. The design is gorgeous. The feature list is overwhelming. The performance is top notch. And it feels great in the hands too. And then there’s the S Pen and iris scanner to boot, not to mention the beautiful dual edge Super AMOLED QHD display.
Realistically, there are only a couple of things that might hold you back from getting this phone. The first is that some people just don’t like TouchWiz and would prefer a pure Android experience. That’s fair enough. The other is the price. At $1,050 unlocked and off contract, it’s not cheap. Seeing how great phones have become at much lower price points, you may have a hard time justifying spending that much money.
Unless you have your heart set on iOS (or Nexus) though, this is the phone to beat. It may not be terribly original, as far as the Samsung pedigree goes, but it’s easily the best of breed. The Samsung Galaxy Note7 is available now both unlocked and through major carriers.

In the ninth and tenth episodes of NBC's reality-competition boxing show The Contender, both the good and the bad parts of the show's formula were on display, and not necessarily to the show's best advantage.
In the two quarterfinal bouts, Sergio "The Latin Snake" Mora (now 14-0, 3 KOs) won a split decision over Ishe "Sugar Shay" Smith (now 15-1, 7 KOs), while Alfonso Gomez, Jr. (now 12-2-1, 4 KOs) dominated Ahmed "Baby Face" Kaddour (now 18-2, 9 KOs) in winning a unanimous decision. However, the boxing was secondary to the surprising rise of a coalition -- the so-called "Gutless Four" -- that changed the competition into a pale imitation of executive producer Mark Burnett's Survivor, while the show once again served up an unsatisfying edit of the actual boxing that is supposedly central to the show.
The ninth episode opened with the seven remaining contestants voting to bring back a previously defeated contestant into the second round -- a bizarre decision by the producers, since it had the effect of giving someone a "bye" into the quarterfinals. As shown in the show's eighth episode, Contender co-host Sylvester Stallone lobbied for the choice of Ahmed, despite the fact that other boxers such as Miguel Espino performed better in their first-round fights. Perhaps Stallone, a veteran of years in Hollywood, was seduced by Ahmed's pretty face.
Because of the hostile relationship between Ahmed and Ishe, a group of four contenders -- Jesse Brinkley, Peter Manfredo, Anthony Bonsante (who was afraid to fight Jimmy Lange in an earlier episode) and Joey Gilbert -- formed a secret coalition to vote for Ahmed, to the surprise of Ishe, Sergio and Alfonso.
When the boxers returned to the loft, a confrontation played out between Ishe and Jesse. In two very different edits, the version shown on TV made Ishe look confrontational and almost out of control, while the less-edited version shown on the Contender web site showed Jesse as the instigator of the fracas ... and led Sergio, who appears to have a lot more wattage upstairs than most of the other contestants, to the conclusion that someone within the coalition was feeding false information to the other coalition members. At the time, Sergio's conclusion was ignored by an angry Jesse, who challenged Ishe to a fight on the spot and said that he wanted to fight Ishe that week.
For the quarterfinals, the East and West teams were eliminated, and the individual challenge winner for the week was given the right to either fight or to act as matchmaker. The challenge involved a three-stage medicine ball race, with four eliminated at the start, two eliminated at the second stage, and a final head-to-head showdown. The four survivors of stage one were Jesse, Joey, Sergio and Ishe. In stage two, Jesse won, with Ishe prevailing in a head-to-head battle with Joey for second place -- only to drop the medicine balls just as he was crossing the finish line, leading to Ishe's disqualification. Jesse easily defeated Joey in the final stage, giving him the power to set up the match between himself and Ishe that he had clamored for.
However, Jesse earned the "Gutless Four" nickname for his coalition by choosing to match up Ishe and Sergio, thus forcing one of the potential undefeated finalists out early ... while Jesse chose to make alibis that he needed "more time" to recover from the group's trip to Las Vegas that was shown in the last episode.
The fight itself was a war, with Sergio seeming to land more punches and Ishe landing punches with a lot more power behind them. Because only tiny excerpts from the fight were shown, even in the so-called "complete version" on the web site (for example, only about 30 seconds of the three-minute round four are shown -- and no round except for the last one has more than 60 seconds of action shown), it is completely impossible for viewers to score the fight at home -- one complaint that several boxing sites had made about the show after witnessing the first episode.
In addition, in both episodes, the fact that the fight was scored as a "split decision" -- meaning that one judge scored it for Ishe, while two others scored it for Sergio -- was edited out (although the call is included in the web footage, meaning that the decision to keep it off the air was deliberate). Even the authoritative boxing web site BoxRec.com was misled by Burnett's sleight of hand, incorrectly showing the fight as a "unanimous decision" for Sergio. So much for Mark Burnett's stated goal to clean up boxing.
Of course, judging disputes are a part of boxing, and all boxers can be caught up in them, especially in short fights such as the ones on The Contender. There is no reason to believe that this split decision represents anything different from a normal divergence of opinion. However, to completely cover up the existence of such a divergence, as Burnett did in the episode editing, would be considered "going too far" by even such "tainted" promoters as Don King.
In the tenth episode, the "Gutless Four" coalition was justifiably proud of itself for eliminating Ishe (though the question of whether their gratitude should actually be directed at the two judges in the majority is unclear), but the editing now revealed that Sergio's supposition during the Ishe-Jesse confrontation was correct -- one member of the coalition was manipulating the others. That person: lawyer and Stallone favorite Joey Gilbert, who was busy trying to turn Ahmed against Sergio and Alfonso while they went on a reward with Stallone to a golf course (and thus couldn't do anything about Joey's manipulations).
The challenge for the episode involved a two-stage harness race, with the fighters acting as the horses, and their families acting as the jockeys -- with a Toyota SUV going to the winner. In the first stage, "Gutless Four" member Anthony pulled a hamstring while, in his words, trying to impress his daughter by winning the car. The other three members of the coalition finished one-two-three and went to the second stage. In that stage, Joey took a huge lead and then abandoned the race one step from crossing the finish line, allowing Peter to win the challenge and the car.
Sergio tried to explain to Peter and the other coalition members how Joey was manipulating them, but to no avail. Peter then lived up to the coalition's "Gutless Four" nickname by becoming the third member of the group to chicken out, choosing to make the match that Joey wanted, Ahmed versus Alfonso. At this point, The Contender drifted dangerously close to "Jonny Fairplay" territory.
Although Ahmed landed one good punch in the fifth round that briefly staggered Alfonso, Alfonso was clearly in control throughout the fight and won in convincing fashion. Thus, the coalition members are the only four left to fight in the quarterfinals, and two of them have very sore hamstrings (Joey and Anthony) -- indicating that the final four will likely include Peter and Jesse as well as Sergio and Alfonso.
The previews for episode 11 indicate that Peter fights Joey, which appears to set up an episode 12 bout of Jesse versus Anthony. All in all, as each of the rumors surrounding the show (including the return of Peter after a defeat and the Sergio-Ishe split decision) comes true, the matches appear to be heading toward the rumored finale of Peter versus Sergio.
In the meantime, as the show continues to founder in the ratings (overnights showed that the double episode actually dropped from the already-low ratings of Dateline NBC), some of the boxers have started to look at life after The Contender. In particular, Jonathan Reid (33-2, 19 KOs), who was eliminated in the second episode, has accepted a 10-round fight on a June 2 undercard in his hometown of Nashville, TN. Looks like the poor ratings may have damaged the plans of Burnett and Stallone to launch their own "pro boxing federation."

A group working to decriminalize the possession of marijuana in B.C. is set to launch a petition aimed at stopping police from cracking down on pot smokers in the province.
Starting Sept. 9, the group will have 90 days to collect more than 350,000 signatures from across the province.
If the group is successful, it could trigger a referendum on a draft bill, entitled the Sensible Policing Act, which would amend the Police Act to prohibit the use of provincial police resources to enforce simple possession-and-use laws for adults.
Executive director Dana Larsen says the biggest challenge is getting to every area of the province.
"We need 10 per cent of the registered voters in every single one of B.C.'s 85 ridings to sign on board. If we just miss one district with 9.9 per cent, our referendum campaign fails," said Larsen.
Larsen said they accept not everyone will want to sign the petition, but he is concerned some people may be too scared to sign.
"There are people out there who are afraid of signing or coming on board with our campaign because they think something bad will happen or they will be judged in their community or the RCMP will come to their door and arrest them."
The Sensible BC campaign comes a year after U.S. voters opted to legalize marijuana just south of the border in Washington and in Colorado.
The referendum question would not deal with the federally-regulated issue of legalization — and the governing B.C. Liberals have refused to support the Sensible BC campaign until there are changes made to federal laws.
But Larsen believes their campaign will shed a light on the issue of marijuana legalization regardless.
"I believe legalization is the right way. If this referendum question is a step towards that, I believe it's a good thing."
Sensible BC received a financial boost last year when pot advocate Bob Erb donated $250,000 to their campaign after winning $25 million in the lottery.

Five years ago, Gainesville State College and North Georgia College & State University became UNG, the University of North Georgia.
Together, we have become a leading regional university and a driving force for educational opportunity and attainment.
Dr. Bonita Jacobs, president of the University of North Georgia: As we began consolidation, I asked us to imagine. To imagine what we can become as we become the largest institution to serve a 30 county region in Northeast Georgia. To imagine what we can become as we provide additional opportunities for our students. To imagine what we can become as we create a roadmap for students to be able to live and work in Northeast Georgia. It has been a remarkable journey and I am amazed at our tremendous success.
Change is difficult, but change also reveals the character of an organization and the members of that organization. I have long said that the resiliency and dedication of our faculty and staff are the single most reasons why we have been successful throughout our consolidation. Our students are doing well. Our communities and our alumni are supportive. We are garnishing more recognitions every single year.
As a result of consolidation, yes we have impacted regional economic development. We have created opportunities for students. We have used our multiple pathways as a vehicle to be able to serve the greater good for this region. In addition, consolidation has positioned us for increased opportunities. Opportunities for research grants, for national recognitions, and for other partnerships.
As we reflect on our achievements, it gives us energy and encouragement to accomplish even more.

I identify myself most often as a Pacific Northwest Poet but have publically branched out to free-lance writing. I live in Oregon & claim to be descended from the Faire Folk and the Shire. Yes, I am petite!
I am interested in social justice, environmental issues, local community, global awareness and most subjects “human”. My hobbies include knife-throwing, film, reading, acting, Sci-Fi, and poetry. And I spend my time creating acylics, watercolors, zentangles and digital photography. In the past I have been a nurse, market researcher, videographer, computer salesperson, and government worker.
I have been writing since 1977, primarily in poetry. But I have writen stories, essays and articles over the years.
I have been steadily collecting my credentials over the years.
I do have a few fantasy novels in process right now – I am not sure if they will be marketed under “Ariel” (many online venues require TWO names, not one), under my legal moniker, or if another name would be most appropriate (perhaps one reflecting my celtic roots or honoring an ancestor). And I am formatting my “Chasing Tiger” chapbook.
I am available for website content, editing, free-lance writing, ghost-writing, etc.
Ummm, what else? Is there anything else you want to know about me?
