Friday night was Max's first prom. He'd been looking forward to it for weeks. "ROM!" he called it (he can't yet say "p's.") The plan was for me to drive him there, walk him in, then leave.
I took a few photos before we left. As Max stood in front of the stairs, they suddenly seemed a little empty. His suit lapel looked a little bare without a corsage pinned to it. Max doesn't know that people take dates to proms, and he didn't seem to care. Me, I get a little melancholy at life milestone moments like these. I rarely have those what-if pangs anymore—as in, what if Max didn't have intellectual disability. But standing in front of the house on prom night and taking photos of him looking so handsome and alone gave me pause.
My head knows not to feel sad that Max doesn't fit into the cultural norms: he has a good life, he is happy, he is content with who he is. My heart, not so much.
When we pulled up to the catering hall, Max spotted his friend J and squealed. I let him out of the car and he ran over and gave her a hug. I parked and found him inside, giving people high-fives left and right. "Are you Max's mom?" two boys asked, and suddenly I understood how celeb handlers felt.
I asked Max to take a photo in front of the Hollywood themed step-and-repeat. A classmate wanted to be in one with him. Right before I took the photo, she kissed his cheek. Max cracked up.
"Did you just kiss Max?!" his teacher asked. Yep, she had. What happens at prom stays at prom!
Then another student approached. "I want to take a picture with Max!" he declared.
Max settled down at the table with his classmates. A waiter set a plate of salad down at his place. I was about to say "He doesn't eat salad!" but I held back. Who wants their mom sending back food at prom?!
I waved goodbye, then hovered outside. I asked a server what was on the menu and she mentioned turkey and roast beef. I requested pasta for Max, since he can't chew that stuff. The principal walked by. "Don't worry, it's a buffet, there's pasta there!" she said. "He'll be fine."
The night ended at 10:30, which is late for Max; he usually crashes around 8. I got there at 10:15 and the principal and assistant principal were sitting outside the room.
"He had the best time!" she told me. I walked in and found Max rocking out on the dance floor, a yellow lei around his neck. He didn't want to leave.
And that was prom, a night filled with friends and fun. It was Max's idea of a great time. And really, that was all that mattered.
I hadn't ever thought about my kiddo going on his own, but I think it would go down much like this. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like he had a blast - and he looks SO handsome!

At DGGS we pride ourselves on encouraging students to be socially aware and involved in issues in our local community. By enabling different student ideas for events to come to fruition, our students are empowered to make a difference in the lives of others. The Sixth Form Philanthropic Society work hard with all year groups to raise thousands of pounds for charities that are dear to our heart, such as Eleanor Lions Hospice, Age UK, Crisis and Warchild. We also take part in a range of national events such as Jean for Genes, Children in Need and Red Nose Day. Whilst we have many annual events take place during the school year, we also welcome ideas from the students, doing our best to ensure that a wide range of different events take place across the year with different students from different year groups taking ownership.
Our new Philanthropic Leaders for 2018/2019 are Cerys and Tolu in Year 13. They are assisted by the Year 13 and Year 12 CAS teams who work throughout the year to make events happen with the lower years. They create and write the informative presentations that ensure the students know why we take the time to carry out this important work.
In addition two more non-uniform days are scheduled in Term 3 and term 5 and year and House charity events are in the planning. Read below to find out more about the events that have taken place to date.
Term 2 is always a busy one at DGGS for the Philanthropic Team as there are so many events taking place, both national events that we wish to support and also some of our more traditional fundraising which takes place in the run up to Christmas. All in all it has been a fantastic term with over £2500 raised to date and hope that the next term we continue to build on this total.
Christmas Fundraising - The annual Humanities Christmas Lecture took place on Wednesday 5th December and successfully raised £232 in aid of Crisis. On Tuesday 18th staff took part in a Xmas jumper day to coincide with the school Christmas dinner in order to raise money for Save the Children. The Sixth Formers will be holding their Annual Christmas party on Thursday 20th December and their ticket includes a donation to Centrepoint, the teenage homeless charity that work hard to ensure that children are not sleeping on the street.
Toys for the Tree - Toys for the Tree is a DGGS tradition that has taken place for many years. As a school we believe it is important that, as we head into a period of festivity, we take the time to remember that not everyone will have a Christmas that is magical. There are far too many children, teenagers, adults and families who find this time of year very stressful and difficult. Animal rescue centres see the number of animals abandoned over this period escalate significantly. It is so important that students see that by working collectively as a form group, small donations can come together to enable them to become a significant amount which is enough to buy a gift for a charity of their choice. In the school assembly held on the 4th and 6th December, we explored the many reasons why we hold this important philanthropic event and celebrated the students’ kindness. Many donations went to Ellenor Lions Hospice, Willow Ward at Dartford Children’s Ward and the Bluewater Giving Tree. When the Philanthropic Prefect Cerys and fellow team member Heather, delivered the presents to Bluewater, they were amazed at the number of stars hung on the tree, representing real children of all ages who need an act of kindness. Along with the stack in a box ready to be added, it really brought home how important these gifts really are to those that receive them.
Year 11: Appeal for items for the food bank - Lamiya (11P) is a police cadet and organised Year 11s to bring in items for the food bank that would benefit families and individuals. Her focus was to steer away from food items but to focus on cleaning products such as washing up liquid, sponges, rubber gloves, furniture cleaner and glass and window cleaner, kitchen rolls, towels and tissues. Lamiya was delighted with the amount of items brought in by her year group.
Poppy Appeal - As we all know Remembrance Day is on 11th November and this year it was particularly special in that it marked 100 years since the end of World War I. This year the Philanthropic Team sold poppies throughout the school and raised money £145 for the British Legion through the annual Poppy Appeal. A fantastic effort all round and a special than you to those who supported this.
Sponsored Events - So many individuals and classes carried out sponsored events in order to support the day. Overall an amazing £1300 was raised through a variety of different ideas from sponsored silences, silly hair, and netball shoot outs. 7C need a special mention as their form alone raised £355 whilst a group of friends in 10H (Anne Marie, Emily, Celona and Amy) raised £88. As much as we would like to thank and name every individual who did give their time to be sponsored on this day there are far too many to mention but students who raised over £50 individually included Lottie in Year 10 (£215), Tharmini 7I (£78), Jada 7I (£65), Chloe 9K (£60), Olokunbi 7I (£60) and Lara 7K (£58.85).
Overall a £1600 has been sent to Children in Need from DGGS. Everyone should be really proud of their contribution.
Bake off - 9L decided to not do a sponsored event but instead to link in with the cake sale by doing a bake off that then was taken apart and sold in a cake sale. Every member of the form made a cake that had something to do with Children in Need. Some cakes were made in the shape of Pudsey's face; there were spotty cupcakes and a wide array of Pudsey or spotty biscuits and cookies. These were brought in on the Thursday and several teachers judged the cakes by their design and appearance. Many cakes were also highly commended and the overall winners are noted below. 9L sold all of their cakes the following day at the bake sale. It was a great success and they raised lots of money.
‘Pudsey’ Hunt - Running throughout the day was a ‘Find Pudsey’ hunt. Several posters of Pudsey were hidden around the school and the students had to find them. 82 students took part and raised a total of £42. All correctly completed Pudsey Hunt forms were put into a hat and the overall winners were Adanna in 7I and Lara in 7K.
Children in Need at DGGS - Children in Need is a charity we all know well that raises money for children who are disadvantaged by supporting various projects and charities across the UK that work hard to make like a little better for those less fortunate than ourselves. This could be children who are victims of abuse, poverty, neglect or have disabilities that affect their day-to-day life. On Friday 16th November 2018, the whole school was invited to take part in many of the events that were organised to raise money.
October 2018 - Harvest Festival: Term 1 saw our annual Harvest Festival take place, featuring some of the best harvest boxes made by students at the school. Although a great House competition, the reason we do this is so that we are able to help send much needed food donations into the local community where it is really needed. The Salvation Army and Local Food Banks gratefully received a magnificent range of food items so that food parcels can be organised. They were most excited to see boxes of biscuits, advent calendars and slightly more unusual and exotic items present in the donations; items that will just make a food parcel that little bit more special. We would like to thank every form that contributed and we are sure that the recipients of your donations appreciate your kindness.
Once again this year we were thrilled by the standard of boxes we received and the clear amount of time and effort that went into each one across the years. Winners for each year group are currently being decided upon.
September – Jean for Genes Day - This was the first of three planned non-uniform days where we showed our support to Jeans for Genes by wearing denim in some form to school. It is a charity that raises funds to support children affected by genetic disorders, of which about 6000 exist. Some are common, such as eczema, and others very rare such as Elhlers-Danlos syndrome. Statistics show that 1 in 25 children are affected in some way, with over 30,000 children being newly diagnosed each year in the UK. We are proud to say that so far we have raised in excess of £900 for this great cause: a great start to the philanthropic total for the year. This is especially important to us as Ciara, a year 8 pupil at our school suffers from the rare condition of epidermolysis bullosa and wrote a very honest and eye opening account in the latest DGGS times, explaining what it is like to live with a condition such as this.

Namdaran Petrogas Industries (NPI) absorption packages are mostly used in separation processes in oil, gas and petrochemical industries since they have multiple usage of fluids to make the separation procedure more applicable by using MEG (mono ethylene glycol), TEG (tri ethylene glycol) and DEG diethylene glycol). Absorption process is usually carried out under pressure using liquid solvent of higher molecular weight than that of the vapors being recovered. Vapors are separated from the rich solvent, which is recycled in the process as the lean solvent.
For a better performance the wet natural gas enters the absorption vessel (glycol contractor) near its bottom and flows upward through the bottom tray to the top tray and out at the top of the vessel. Usually six to eight trays are used .lean (dry) glycol is fed at the top of the vessel and it flows down from tray to tray, absorbing water vapor from natural gas. The rich (wet) glycol leaves the bottom of vessel to the glycol regeneration. The dry natural gas passes through mist mesh to the sales line.
Glycol regeneration unit is composed of reboiler where steam is generated from the water in the glycol. The stream is circulated through the packed section to strip water from the glycol. Stripped water and any lost hydrocarbons are vented at the top of the stripping column.

It’s been incredibly encouraging to be at the tail end of my journey of discovering, understanding and learning to cope with my food sensitivities over these months and years.
As I’ve posted about before, I’ve had some food intolerance weight struggles these past 3-4 years, though I didn’t quite realise that was the cause at the time. However my mid year breaking point and the discovery of the extent of my carb / gluten / processed sugar intolerances was an important (albeit painful) process, and three months later I’m thrilled to be emerging from the struggle much happier, stronger and healthier than I’ve been for a very long time.
I’ve been making a YouTube diary of the process just to track some of the symptoms, challenges, and body changes that are occurring as I go through this lifestyle adaptation.
As a non athlete / sweet toothed / lazy geek who recently prefers reading and blogging to exercising, it’s been interesting to see my body adapt positively to the food changes occurring and I must say I’m starting to look forward to being strong again. Previously I seemed to be constantly tending to my cold / flu / various random bug ailments that saw me sick on an alarmingly regular basis, so I could never seem to get my fitness levels or habits to stabilise.
Now with more filming coming up and an increased awareness of the high fitness levels needed for acting, it’s all the more important to be strong and able, and I’m so very glad that it’s looking like that’s exactly the path I’m set to continue on over the months ahead. Three cheers for that!
Month 3 : Coming up next!

Did you know the digital gig economy could be putting your health at risk? For 70 million Americans who are part of the gig economy – which is made up of temporary, freelance and entrepreneurial workers – health often takes second place to the demands of a heavy workload.
A new study by the University of Oxford found that remote gig work, including working from home, can cause serious mental and physical harm. Risks include sleep deprivation, extreme exhaustion, and long hours spent in social isolation. Although remote workers enjoy the autonomy, they’re also lonely and tired for significant stretches of time.
For the coworking community, this news probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise. After all, people who join coworking environments often do so because of the positive social, emotional, and physical effects of coworking.
Is remote work wearing you down? Here are some health benefits you could be getting from coworking.
Sitting still for long stretches of time is bad for your health – and sitting still is a hallmark of remote work. You’re always just a few steps away from your workspace, so you’re missing the natural, daily opportunity for an invigorating walk.
Sitting still for just 1 hour more per day, 5 days a week, is a loss of 260 walking-hours per year. This decrease in walking can lead to negative health effects like poor circulation, weight gain, muscle loss, and increased risk of heart disease.
But when you cowork, your workspace is no longer restricted to a tiny footprint. Having a coworking space can be just the incentive you need to get moving for the day and reap the health benefits along the way. Not only do you add some steps to your routine, but you feel more motivated and energized through the ritual of entering the coworking space.
Everyone needs an emotional pick-me-up sometimes. Remote work doesn’t offer much emotional support – in fact, it can cause you to unload emotions on your partner or family, who may not be able to understand your professional challenges.
This brings up another huge benefit of coworking: There are always like-minded professionals around who are experiencing the same emotional ups and downs. When you’re at the end of your rope, you can head to the couch in the community space and chat with someone who truly understands. And when you have a big professional success to share, there’s a pal nearby for a fist bump and congrats.
In fact, the National Institutes of Health says coworking spaces are one of the most important sources of social support for independent professionals after two studies showed their positive effects on the emotional health of American workers. Compared to people who worked alone, coworkers felt greater performance satisfaction – even when their work involved intense time pressure.
Independent and freelance work often comes with other challenges, beyond physical and mental strain – for example, income that fluctuates depending on current projects. Your financial health is an important part of your overall health. It affects your professional potential.
Coworking blunts the impact of issues like low pay, fluctuating pay, and irregular hours. That’s because it helps you get the most out of work hours, even when they’re unpaid. During slow periods, you can spend time networking within the coworking space rather than get frustrated, climbing into bed, and pulling up the covers.
Day-to-day networking leads to more business connections, more paid projects, and a stronger reputation in your industry. It makes the most out of downtime, turning unpaid hours into paid projects and greater work satisfaction.
Coworking is also a healthy choice simply because of the amenities available. Most coworking spaces offer things like free water, healthy snacks, organic options, standing desks, ergonomic equipment, and uplifting common areas.
These simple amenities can really give your workday a boost. A coworking environment caters to you in a way you can’t ordinarily cater to yourself. That’s great news for your health and a great benefit for your business.
To see how a local coworking space can support your health, tour Victory Workspace or call for more information. Victory Workspace provides a wide range of health-conscious amenities for all members.

WENN Digital has partnered with Oak View Group (OVG) to bring the KodakOne platform and KodakCoin token to six OVG Arena Alliance venues, including four NBA teams and two NHL teams.
In January of this year, photography giant Kodak announced its partnership with WENN Digital to create the KodakOne platform and KodakCoin, the token that will drive the platform. KodakOne is an encrypted, digital ledger of rights ownership for photographers to register both new and archive work that they can then license within the platform. The platform uses a “web-crawling” technology to detect unlicensed use of images in the KodakOne blockchain and ensure that photographers are appropriately rewarded.
Oak View Group was founded in 2015 by Tim Leiweke and Irving Azoff to be a positive disruption in sports and entertainment and currently has over 200 employees across offices in Los Angeles and New York. The company’s OVG Arena Alliance is a membership alliance of world-class venues reaching over 65 million consumers each year combined across major cities in North America.
WENN’s partnership with OVG will enable the KodakOne platform to expand its reach to over 10 million fans each year, and enable them to upload, register and protect their in-venue photos and videos via KodakOne’s blockchain technology. The participating OVG arenas and teams include: San Antonio Spurs’ AT&T Center, Indiana Pacers’ Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Sacramento Kings’ Golden 1 Center, Minnesota Wild’s Xcel Energy Center, New Jersey Devils’ Prudential Center and Phoenix Suns’ Talking Stick Resort Arena.
The six arenas will collaborate with WENN Digital to build a platform that allows fans to use KodakCoin for an array of in-venue transactions and promotions. Each venue will promote the use of the platform and token by developing a number of arena and product promotions for attendees. In addition, the arenas will also collaborate with WENN Digital to register their own video and photo content to be protected on the KodakOne platform.
Jan Denecke, CEO of WENN Digital, said that the partnership is aimed at introducing the KodakOne platform to a creative audience that they believe will both benefit from its functionality and serve as early adopters.

Today you’ll learn how to NOT waste 3 hours studying IELTS, and use your time to increase your scores!
One of the biggest fears that I always feared is listening and speaking. I really don’t know the reason why. I tend to spend 3 hours every day learning English, and I also practice my listening skills by listening to the news and writing the news on paper word for word. But sometimes I feel bored and I want to give up because I really didn’t hear everything that was said and I don’t understand.
First thing- studying for IELTS should be fun, as much as possible!
Do not keep using resources if they are not benefiting you.
In this student’s case, he his creating a habit of being bored and not understanding English. He isn’t practicing the positive things or learning how to understand.
We could tweak this student’s activity to make it motivating and more effective.
Instead of listening and writing the words down, he could go online and find scripts for entertaining shows, such as The Big Bang Theory.
Read the script and watch the show at the same time to improve reading and listening. Then, you can practice the script with another person to practice speaking. These activities also teach you vocabulary, and the role-play will help with confidence and pronunciation!
Let’s not just focus on news and current events. You can choose what you read! Try articles from the fashion, lifestyle and entertainment sections of newspapers.
Branch out in your resources and input! Get into some music!
Also, if you want more interesting ways to get the news, try The Daily Show (South African accent), This Week Tonight (British accent), Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, or Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.
These resources will broaden your perspectives on current events as well.
As far as the amount of time to spend studying IELTS, we recommend 2-4 hours a day. The road map in our course provides activities to fill these hours, 5-6 days a week. Just make sure you are using your time wisely!

Do I Need Mold Removal After Water Damage in Pompano Beach?
In South Florida, the combination of heavy rain, tropical temperatures, and extreme humidity makes it the perfect breeding ground for mold to grow. Mold is a type of fungi and there are various different strands that grow naturally outdoor. However, microscopic spores frequently enter our homes and living spaces without us knowing. These spores that mold produces makes it very easy to grow, especially in areas with high humidity such as your bathroom. While most mold is harmless, there are some types of mold that produce chemicals called “mycotoxins” which is toxic to humans and can cause severe health problems and even cancer.
This type of mold is commonly found both indoors and outdoors. In nature, this type of mold is found in decaying leaves, trees, compost, etc. Aspergillus mold spores thrive in areas such as your air conditioning ducts and insulation. Presence of Aspergillus mold in your air conditioning can cause sever lung infections for those with weak immune systems and children.
This mold often grows in colonies that can be green, brown, or black in appearance. While Cladosporium mold is non-toxic to human, all types of mold can eventually become hazardous to your health through extended exposure. Cladosporium can cause allergy symptoms such as skin irritation, watery eyes, sore throat, fatigue and more. Those with existing allergies, asthma or weak immune systems are especially susceptible to being affected by this type of mold.
Also known as “Black Mold,” is toxic to human and can cause serious health problems. Exposure to the high levels of mycotoxins produced by the mold can lead to sever neurological problems; and in extreme cases, even death. Stachybotrys atra gives off an especially strong smelling earth-like odor such as dirt or rotting leaves. This is a very dangerous type of mold that can grow in your house, and has the ability to make even the healthiest of individual extremely sick.
You cannot tell whether mold is toxic by sampling looking at it, so if you see even the most minute formation of mold in your house, it is imperative that you have mold testing done immediately. At MVP Environmental Solutions, Inc., we are the leading mold testing and mold removal service in Pompano Beach. If you think you may have mold growing in your home, call our team of experts at (954) 247-9444 to schedule your FREE On-Property Assessment today!

From a prospective point of view the church of San Pio has been built on a transversal axis with the "new road" carried out from the project by the architect Tondini, the first stone was placed on 5th of May 1858. Of neoclassical structure, austere and simple, with formal references to the facades of the church of Sant'Apollinare and Santa Croce, it, in the 1950s underwent a substantial reconstruction of the façade, to be finally brought back to its original look, through a considerable amount of restoration carried out at the beginning of the year 2000. The interior appears very different from what it was like in the past: in fact it had been painted and decorated before in 1928 and then afterwards by Fortunato Teodorani around the 1940s. The church is dedicated to Pope Pio V from 500s, Patron Saint of Cattolica, canonized in 1712 by Pope Clemente XI.
The first mention of a place dedicated to the religious cult of the spirit, placed inside the inhabited catrum of Cattolica is written on parchment, dated 1286 from Ravenna. The first explicit writing dedicated to the church of Sant'Apollinare is dated 1313, and it should not be considered a coincidence that the same writing already existed in the church of Casteldimezzo, one of the castles from which most of the new inhabitants of Cattolica came from. The church, was given to the Abbey of San Vitale da Giulio II, and was run by the Benedictines monks until 1592. Afterwards the religious building passed at first to the Order of the Serviti and then to the Carmelite Fathers and finally at the end of 1653 it returned again to the Benedictine monks until 1797. Sant'Apollinare underwent important restorations in 1578 and two centuries after, was rebuilt by the Rimini architect Gaetano Cupioli. In 1795, as the memorial stone recalls on its base, the bell tower was built by the Cassinesi monks from San Vitale in Ravenna and on its frontage a large clock that worked for a long time. The church of Sant'Apollinare keeps a splendid crucifix of Jesus, a rare and distinguished example of the baroque from the Valconca area, dated about 1660.
The church of Sant'Antonio from Padova administered by the Franciscan friars from Cattolica was finished in the second half of the 1970s and consecrated in March 1979. The original structure features a series of modular spaces that, mainly, in the summer period facilitate the celebration of Mass, by the opening of the church building to the large crowd of faithful sat outside.
Planned in 1981 by the architect Franco Vico, the building of San Benedetto was carried out in different phases, starting in 1983 and carrying on until the summer of 1994 and the interior decoration was by the artist Guerrino Bardeggia. Of particular value are the fourteen ceramic tiles portraying the Stations of the Cross and the six large high relieves, depicting the Resurrection of Christ which from the main altar overlooks and seems to embrace the faithful.

Last week I sat through a four day conference designed to help us plan our future. I try to be a pretty positive person but as the week progressed I began to despair. Out of the nine or so speakers eight of them repeatedly spoke of our USP – our youth, that is what we had to offer our future employers, its what gave us time to travel, work in Tesco or go on the dole (yes that was a career choice) whilst we built up our art career.
That’s great but I am a mature student, I wasn’t hard to spot as I was sitting on the front row with three other mature students – when you get to my age you have to sit on the front row due to failing sight and hearing.
How old am I? Forty eight (okay I admit it I’m nearly forty nine), now I realise at this point some of you have made a sharp intake of breath but there may be others who have managed to stagger from their recliner chair that think I could have a few good years left.
On line opportunities seem full of young artist groups and competitions for new artists under thirty five. Why should new artist mean young artist? Surely its self limiting there may be less of us but don’t we deserve a go?
I have to say now that the staff and students at my uni have never been other than supportive. My peers who are in the main in their very early twenties have always treated me as an equal, encouraged and helped me.
I think I have a lot to offer, hopefully I can show you when I have figured out how to upload my images with a watermark. I know I have my own limitations, some of which are age related, but they are mine for me to overcome, I don’t need others putting limitations on me.
Now I am off to organize my Turner Prize submission – you have to be under fifty to be nominated.

Such a situation describes L.A.-based singer/songwriter Celeste Tauchar aka talker in her debut single. It is a perfectly executed, emotional pop song with a chorus that sticks in your head and that you may sing next time to somebody who hurts you with their own problems. But it is the grungy guitar that adds drama and let “Collateral Damage” stand out. We are looking forward to more music from talker, to be expected on her EP later this year.

In a battle of former 7DAYS EuroCup champions that went to overtime, Unicaja Malaga registered its third consecutive win in Group C by downing UNICS Kazan 82-80 at home on Tuesday. Both teams now have 3-1 records. Jaime Fernandez led the winners with 23 points, Brian Roberts added 14 while Giorgi Shermadini had 10 for Unicaja. Pierria Henry paced UNICS with 21 points, Trent Lockett scored 18, Maurice Ndour 14 and Jamar Smith 10.
Lockett shined early, leading a 0-10 opening run that Ndour capped with a fast break slam. Brian Roberts and Fernandez rescued Unicaja and a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Dragan Milosavljevic tied the game at 16-16 after 10 minutes. Free throws by Fernandez gave Unicaja its first lead, 21-19, early in the second quarter. Ndour and Henry stepped up for UNICS and a jumper by Lockett put the guests back in charge, 28-30. Adam Waczynski followed a three-pointer with free throws and Carlos Suarez also struck from downtown for a 36-33 Unicaja edge at halftime. Ndour took over after the break, helping UNICS regain the lead at 41-42. Henry capped a 0-7 run with a floater and a jumper by Smith gave the visitors a 48-52 margin after 30 minutes. Lockett followed a corner triple with a dunk, causing Unicaja to call timeout at 50-57. Waczynski and an outstanding Fernandez tried to change things for the hosts, but a free throw by Kostas Kaimakoglou made it a 3-point game with over two minutes left in regulation. Henry split free throws and sank a critical floater for a 68-70 UNICS lead. Mathias Lessort drew a foul with 8.3 seconds left and sank both attempts to send the game to overtime, as Henry missed around the basket at the buzzer. Roberts followed a triple with a jumper and struck again from downtown for an 80-75 Unicaja edge. UNICS got a bit closer, 82-79, and Henry drew a foul with 6.8 seconds left. He missed his second attempt and grabbed the offensive rebound, but Melvin Ejim missed from beyond the arc at the buzzer.
Fernandez had a EuroCup career-best scoring night with 23 points - his previous record was 19, playing for MoraBanc Andorra against Fiat Turin last season – and tied his best mark in assists with 7. He also drew 10 fouls for a performance index rating of 27.
UNICS got its last lead early in overtime, 72-73. Roberts hit a three-pointer, added a jumper and soon buried another shot from beyond the arc to give Unicaja an 80-75 margin with 1:33 remaining. Even though the game literally came down to the last shot, Roberts shined for Unicaja to keep its chances alive in crunch time.
Unicaja hit just 10 of 33 two-point shots - 30.3%, its worst percentage ever in the EuroCup, by far (the previous low was 40.6% 2FG against Valencia Basket), but managed to survive due to its three-point accuracy, hitting 12 of 26 shots from downtown (46.1%) to eventually win the game.
UNICS had a better index rating in this game, 81-83, in a losing effort. UNICS pulled down 20 offensive rebounds for the second time this season – it already did so in its road win against Mornar Bar. No other team has pulled down 20 offensive boards in a EuroCup game this season; Cedevita Zagreb had 19 against Arla Gdynia.
Both teams return to action on Wednesday, October 31. UNICS hosts Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt at 18:00 CET and Unicaja visits Fiat Turin at 20:30 CET.
"It was a tremendous game which we won. It was a tough game with a lot of details, some went in our favor, some didn't. We were able to win it due to our great mentality in all the minutes, even in overtime. They committed all the fouls they could to stop us from taking two-point shots. That forced us to take a low number of two-point shots. They are a very physical team, especially in the paint, and are able to play tough and intimidate. It was hard for us to get the ball in the paint. On the other hand, we did really well from the three-point line and that allowed us to win the game. If you don't dominate the boards, because you play against a team that gets 16 offensive rebounds on average, and got 20 tonight, and then you are not efficient in two-point shots, because you are taken to the free throw line a lot, and you still win, that means we played an amazing game in other aspects of the game such as defense, finding different ways to score and especially, when they took the lead, instead of giving up, hitting shots from the perimeter."
"As you all watched, it was a tough game that went to overtime. It was a very stressful game for both teams. Congratulations to Unicaja for the win. As long as we had our big in the games, I am talking our two main bigs, Morgan and Ndour, we were competitive, but very early in the second half, they have been charged with fouls so we lost them. We missed them also in overtime. We had a serious problem with our defensive rebounds in the second half. Of course, we took 20 offensive rebounds and that helped us in the second half. We had very bad three-point shooting percentages and finally we went down to details, and only one of the two teams would have those details that would win the game. Jamar [Smith] is a special player for me. I trust him and I am happy with him. I love him basically as a person and then as a player. Unicaja is a strong team with a wide roster and experienced players."
"That game felt like it was May or June! It was like a playoffs type of intensity in the game. When we were down, we made plays to keep us in the game. We didn't do well in the first three quarters, but found a way to get the win. It was a big-time team win."
(About the free throws that sent the game to overtime) "On the first one, I had the shooters' touch and in the second one, I just got heart. I am cold-blooded! These were two important free throws for the team. It is important for me to show to my teammates that they can count on me in tight games like this."
"I think it was a tough game, with some ups and downs, but finally, we got the win with a great effort from all the team. I am happy for this win. It is important for us to keep fighting in this tough EuroCup, so this is a good win for us."
"There are a lot of things we could have done better. They hurt us on offense and we had some miscommunication in pick-and-rolls. It’s a tough loss for us, but we can turn it into a learning experience and it can be good for us in the long run."
"It was a hard game. We had a lot of chances to win the game, opportunity to control the lead, use our advantage. But we gave credit to Malaga. We played hard, never gave up. It just shows the level of competition we faced. We should put it behind us, learn and move to the next game."

April 1st the 2009 Denver Auto Show started its engine and roared to life. Just before the opening of the show, the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press (RMAP) held an awards ceremony with representatives from the automotive manufacturers and members of the Press. Allsmallcars.com was right there on the floor to bring you the newest car awards for Car of the Year, Truck of the Year, SUV of the Year and Environmentally Friendly Car of the Year.The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI won the award for most Environmentally Friendly Car of the Year from RMAP. This wasn't a complete surprise to me (or anyone in the audience I would guess) since Volkswagen has been capturing a lot of "green" awards for the clean diesel Jetta, including the 2009 Green Car of the Year awarded by the Green Car Journal. David Warrilow, Sales Operations Manager for CO, NM and UT, accepted the award on behalf of Volkswagen and thanked the RMAP for recognizing the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. He went on to say, "It is a bit of a conundrum and a paradox that a diesel car is getting all of the environmental car of the year awards." I am sure other manufacturers in the crowd were biting their tongues.
With the success of Volkswagen's clean diesel technology, what about hybrids you ask? So far the only confirmed Hybrid will be the 2010 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid (most likely sharing the Porsche Cayenne platform) that is supposed to achieve 328 hp and tip the meters at 26 mpg. However, there has been some speculation that VW will deliver a 2010 Jetta Hybrid and down the road a Passat Hybrid in 2011, though these reports haven't been confirmed. Other awards were given to Dodge for the 2009 Dodge Challenger RT/SRT8 as RMAP Car of the Year and the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 as the RMAP Truck of the Year. The RMAP SUV of the Year Award went to Ford for the 2009 Ford Flex.Bottom-line, Volkswagen deserves credit for producing a superior clean diesel product that the public can't seem to get enough of (good luck finding a bunch on a VW lot) and it highlights just how new the "green" technology is in the market. So stay tuned because we are going to see new advancements very quickly and new ways ideas for how to implement "green" technology, for example, the Lightning Hybrids LH4 hydraulic-biodiesel drivetrain announced this year at the 2009 Denver Auto Show.Allsmallcars.com has new and used car information, photos and more. So check us out and leave us a comment, we would love to hear from fellow car enthusiasts.

Founding Kinks guitarist Dave Davies is pleased to announce the release of a new 13-track collection of previously unreleased recordings. Released 12th October via Red River Entertainment/BFD and distributed globally by Orchard, ‘Decade’ consists of songs Davies originally wrote and recorded during the seventies. ‘Same Old Blues’ is the brand new single taken from the upcoming album.
In what may be considered the sequel to 2011’s ‘Hidden Treasures’ – a collection of songs recorded with the rest of The Kinks as his backing band and brother Ray on production duty, ‘Decade’ includes songs written by Davies over the course of a 10-year period prior to the release of his first solo album, 1980’s ‘AFL1-3603’.
Although for many, the 70s are not generally considered a particularly productive period for Dave in terms of songwriting, the opposite was true. During the period of 1973 to 1975, The Kinks moved into their own recording studio, Konk, which Dave took a major role in setting up and developing. “I’m always really into the sound, and the mixes, and gadgets, and the whole schmiel…and we got a studio up and running, because obviously it was an ideal situation for The Kinks to have our own studio, and record when we liked. And also, I was able to go in, and make what I thought were demos – these recordings,” says Davies.
Although not necessarily written with The Kinks in mind, ‘Decade’ includes “songs from, like, ’72, ’75, right through that decade,” as well as one or two tracks recorded but not used for ‘AFL1-3603’. ‘Midnight Sun’ was inspired by Dave’s friendship with a school friend who later fell deep into the hole of drugs, and whose early death affected Dave profoundly, personally and creatively. There are also two instrumental tracks including ‘The Journey’ intended as an overture for a project that remains elusive.
The astrologically-influenced ‘Mr. Moon’ is one of the few tunes here that was pilfered for later release, as its hook ended up being used on a song on Dave’s ‘Bug’ album some years later. Though Dave admits that ‘Mystic Woman’ needed “a bit of vocal added” to complete it for this release, most of the basic elements of Decade`s tracks were in place, but still needed much work. They benefited greatly from the creative and innovative skills of producer son Simon Davies. “It sounds so good…You know, it’s got the ambience, the feel [and] the sonic correctness, almost, of that period,” says Dave.
The epic ‘This Precious Time (Long Lonely Road)’ is a track that may be familiar to some, as a rough demo appeared on the ‘Fragile’ collection. An appropriate album closer, it took several years for Dave to develop – its genesis was sessions at Apple Studios in 1975 just before its closure. “It was a song that was special to me, and I kept coming back to it. It’s great to finally be able to hear it as I’d originally envisaged. I’m very proud of it, as I am of all the songs on this album”.
The original recordings for ‘Decade’ were unearthed by Davies’ sons Simon and Martin from “under beds, in attics, in storage”, and properly mixed and mastered in a way that lets these songs shimmer and shine even brighter than they did at inception. Some of the musicians who contributed to tracks include longtime Kinks drummer Mick Avory, who appears on ‘If You Are Leaving’ and Dave’s nephew, Phil Palmer, a guitarist who’s worked with Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Roger Daltrey and many others.
Dave has released several critical acclaimed albums on Red River Entertainment including his most recent album, a collaborative project with his son Russ called ‘Open Road’, released in March 2017.

As we reach the start of the new year - and the approximate halfway point of the 2018-19 National Hockey League season - it feels like the perfect moment to pause and thank every member of our Coyotes family for the successes we experienced as an organization during 2018. Everything we've accomplished on the ice and off has been made possible by your passion for #OurPack and your commitment to the Arizona Coyotes.
Thank you for your ongoing support. Thank you for coming out to cheer us on. Thank you for taking time out of your busy days and nights to watch us on TV and online.
2018 was a year of evolution for our team. With strong leadership from Head Coach Rick Tocchet and President of Hockey Operations and General Manager John Chayka, we feel confident that we have turned the corner as a franchise. In July, we locked up All-Star defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson to an 8-year contract that should keep our team captain in a Coyotes sweater for the balance of his NHL career. Through the first half of the season, our team has battled through injuries to key players to remain in the hunt for a Western Conference playoff spot.
If we are not precisely where we want to be in terms of wins and losses, we certainly are in terms of grit, hustle, competitive attitude and character. We know those qualities matter to you as a fan equally as much as they matter to us as an organization.
Off the ice over the past year we have made great strides - and 2019 promises to be even better. As a team, we have pledged to do even more in the community than we did last year, when we donated more than $2.7 million to a range of community organizations. With U.S. Olympic hockey star Lyndsey Fry on board to help us grow youth hockey across Arizona, we will continue to sew our sport into the fabric of our home state, all over the Valley and all over our neighboring communities.
Our pledge to you for 2019 is a simple one: We will continue to fiercely pursue our core goals of producing a winning hockey team, growing fandom throughout this state and positively enriching our Arizona community. We will not accept failure. And we will pursue excellence with the highest possible degree of commitment and character.
Another quality that matters to our organization is honesty. For that reason, I have and will continue to be forthcoming about matters related to our franchise. While it's neither necessary nor prudent to address every unsubstantiated Internet report or tweet, it is important to communicate where things stand to our fans.
Recently, you may have read reports about a potential ownership transaction. As I have said for months, we will continue to explore investment opportunities to better assist our team in achieving our long-term goals and organizational vision. This process has at its core one key pre-condition: any investment in our team must be laser-focused on helping the Coyotes achieve a long-term sustainable arena solution here in Arizona.
Arizona is our home. We love it here. And we love playing for you, the very best fans in the NHL.
May you and your loved ones have a terrific 2019. Thank you for being a part of our Coyotes family.

No. We did have a storm come through here mid-last month which dumped 3.5 feet of snow and knocked out power for 4 days. The forwarding worked fine then.
Since then there are no outages. Telo is not behind a router. It is on a separate modem of its own directly connected to the cable internet connection, the way it has been for well over a year.
In addition to the other suggestions, you should call customer support again to continue to "push" your problem.

With the 68th annual Perchville USA winter festival quickly approaching, February 1-4, event organizers have announced that the 2018 Perchville King and Queen are Dareck and Kristin Cherwinski.
Dareck grew up in Vanderbilt in northern Michigan, together he and Kristin moved to the Tawases in 2002, which is also the year they got married (Kristin grew up in Wisconsin and Indiana). Dareck travels throughout Michigan doing maintenance, wire-lining and anything else Cobra Oil & Gas needs him to do on their oil wells. Kristin works part time at State Farm Insurance and has also opened her own business with her twin sister, Erin, nearly three years ago, Twisted Twinz Emporium, a retail shop in Tawas City that sells unique goods and artist’s works as well as offering a full schedule of art classes. She loves that the store gives her the ability to be involved in the community and share her creativity.
Dareck and Kristin love doing things for others. Kristin explains it by saying “We think a good deed every day just makes the world a better place.” Dareck agrees, saying “Anything we can do to put money back into our community and help others in need, we do.” The Cherwinski’s have had a ton of success at doing both: by channeling another of their interests, riding their Harley Davidson Motorcycle, they have organized the highly successful “Rug Rats Ride,” which has raised over $17,000 for Tawas area youth organizations. The ride takes place in early June each year; the couple and their team of organizers are currently reviewing applications to decide who will be the recipient of this year’s event proceeds.
The Cherwinskis are involved members at the local Moose lodge, aiding in the organization of that group’s events like the Chocolate Extravaganza, Moose on Bikes, which has helped dozens of local families by supplying gifts and necessities to families at Christmas, and other retirement and kid’s programs. They also belong to the East Tawas Church of the Nazarene.
Kristin gives her time endlessly to area kids, she was Cub Master for many years, volunteers at Clara Bolen Elementary every Tuesday with the accelerating reading program, and also volunteers her time through the District Library system by teaching art classes to kids in Tawas, Oscoda, and Hale. She was also involved helping with costumes for the most recent Witz End/WE Players production.
The couple also organized and supported a Buy Local campaign and Facebook page called the “Tawas Area Cash Mob” for at least five years. Once or twice a month, they would randomly pick a local business then challenge everyone they knew to visit that business and buy something, no matter how big or little. This effort, especially during the slow winter months, was a huge success at helping local businesses make extra sales and gain familiarity with a wider audience.
The couple has two sons, Zane and Keegan. Zane is a 2012 Tawas graduate who is newly married and settled in Illinois working as an engineer. Keegan is a freshman at Tawas Area Schools and has been in Cub Scouts and also has an artistic streak. Kristin and Dareck are very proud of both of their sons.
Kristin and Dareck are both so excited to represent the community as Perchville King and Queen. They annually host numerous out-of-town friends to come to Tawas for the Perchville celebration. Make sure to say “thanks” to the Cherwinskis for all that they do for the community when you see them during Perchville.
Katelyn Papenfus is a 7th grader at Tawas Area Middle School who stays very busy, participating in ice skating, competitive cheerleading, altar service and youth group at Holy Family, does plays at Witz End, and likes to go horseback riding. Her parents are Alissa and John Parnicky and Kraig and Erin Papenfus. The classmate who nominated Katelyn explained, “She is the kindest, friendliest, most thoughtful, and just downright best person you’ll ever meet.” The nomination also stated, “Katelyn is always showing some sort of act of kindness. For example, she helps out with the Salvation Army. Not many kids our age take the time to stand out in the cold and ring that bell.” Katelyn explains her outlook on life: “My goal every day is to make at least one person smile or laugh.” It’s obvious that Katelyn takes the time to help others: listening to friends, asking how classmates are doing, saying the right thing to make people feel better, running errands for teachers, and always with a big smile on her face. Katelyn has big plans for the future, too: she sees Ferris State University in her future to become a dentist. She is looking forward to being the Junior Perchville Queen, and especially being in the parade.
The junior royalty will participate in the Coronation Breakfast and also preside over the Family Tent during Perchville.
The community is encouraged to join the Perchville celebration and congratulate our 2018 Royalty at the Coronation Breakfast on Saturday, January 27th at the East Tawas Community Center. Admission to the breakfast celebration is just a $5 Perchville button, which are on sale at local businesses throughout town, at the Chamber and will be sold at the breakfast.
Attendees to the breakfast will also have an opportunity to enjoy some fun Perchville style entertainment and win great prizes.
For a complete schedule of Perchville activities, visit tawas.com or call the Chamber at (989) 362-8643. Event schedules are posted throughout town and are available at the Chamber.

Clean Out Your Computer Day 2020 is on Monday, February 10, 2020: cleaning your computer?
In case your computer is running gradually, in case your PC fans are noisy, or maybe you’re going through crashes and poor performance, it might be that the computer is simply a little dusty.Cleanse Your Pc Day is definitely an annual indication to spread out in the casing (switch off the energy first!), and also to give everything a great, careful cleanse.
I assure you, this is the only program you need to clean out your computer of all your temporary files/internet history and such. Good luck.
how to clean up my computer?
from the "Run" command in the "start" menu, type "msconfig".
and you will see everything that gets loaded on boot.
All of those things are candidate to turn off.
You may need to start something later if it happens to be a service that is needed for a program or app.
But check it out and you should be able to get your boot speed back up to par.
Run disk cleanup, and de-fragmenter.
These applications are built-in with windows and will help you remove any unwanted files etc.
CAUTION ,RECYCLE BIN WILL BE ON THIS LIST.
IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO EMPTY IT,...DO NOT CHECK IT !
[ you need to get these from your i.s.p. and add them into the 2 boxes here.
What's a modem initialization string?
Before your modem software dials a phone number, it initializes (inits) the modem by sending it a series (string) of commands, typically Hayes commands. These commands configure the modem's options for things like error correction, data compression, flow control, and many other parameters. The modem manual should list the Hayes commands the modem recognizes, and what effect each command has.
The important thing about modem init strings is that having the right one often makes the difference between connecting and not. Init strings are fairly specific to each modem. The string that made your friend's modem fly may not work at all for your modem.
Not all programs use simple init strings. Some use settings files, such as Windows 95 .inf files, Mac CCL modem scripts, etc.
Where do I put the modem init string?
the Internet. I exaggerate, but it sure was slow.
can be 30 times faster than ours!
Accelerator. This free program will juice things.
Web Accelerator works with both Firefox and IE on Windows machines.
How do you want to speed up or clean your computer?
Well, if you want to shell out some money to make it run faster you would probably need to upgrade your comp by getting some more RAM, maybe a new video card, or a external hard drive.
A Recommended External Hard Drive would be a Western Digital My Book. All you need is to plug it into your wall and the plug the USB into your Computer.
Now just put a check mark on those files and your set and hit Yes for everything and don't touch anything else.
Not Required, but if you want to, or are a gamer it is good to know how to disable your Processes. Since processes do take up resources.
Close your Background Processes if you want to by going Ctrl+Alt+Delete then click Processes.
Note: ONLY End Processes with your Username (the person who owns the comp) on it.
Since it has your User Name in it so end it.
If you do end a process that doesn't have your user name on it just restart the comp everything will be ok.
It could also be you need updates for IE, so go to Windows Update, for RAM updates, go to , most others would also recommend this as well, as a good RAM Provider. Last but not least it could be your computer has Spyware or Adware or a Virus so get a free Virus Scanner like AVG, Kapersky, NOD 32. Spyware: Ad-Aware 2007.

Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin have released an awesome video showing the priceless reactions of some 400 rocket scientists watching the company’s recent historic vertical landing.
The video is kind of reminiscent of footage of people reacting to the end of football games and whatnot, but landing a rocket is a bit of a bigger deal than Auburn beating Alabama on a last-second return.
The vertical landing marked the first successful test of a reusable spacecraft that can safely land and be used again.
Elon Musk has gone to great lengths to defend the fact that what his company, SpaceX, is attempting to do, is much more difficult than what Bezos and Blue Origin pulled off.
Regardless, it’s an extremely impressive accomplishment and makes for an epic reaction video!

I am peevish today. Perhaps it is because I am so close to the end of the semester and I really want to have 3 weeks off.
Perhaps I am just in a foul mood.
I have a general pet peeve in the form of people who have terrible grammar. I hate when people say “irregardless”. It makes my skin not only crawl, but fall off and die.
I hate it even more when people pretend that they have excellent grammar by screwing up ‘well’ and ‘good’. I am going to give you all a lesson.
Katrina: How are you doing today?
Dan: I am doing well.
Katrina: How are you today?
Dan: I am doing good.
Which of those examples are correct? If you said 1 and 2, you get a cookie.
If you said 3 or 4, you don’t get a cookie.
Here’s why. Well is an adverb. Adverbs describe verbs. Good is an adjective. Adjectives describe nouns.
So, if you say “I am” you are describing yourself. You are a noun, oddly enough! When you describe yourself, you want to use an adjective. So, you use ‘good’. I am good is the correct sentence.
If you are talking about how you are doing, you are talking about an action, or a verb, not yourself. You want to use an adverb to describe that. So, you use ‘well’. I am doing well is the correct sentence.
Saying ‘I am well’ just makes me think you are trying to impress me with your use of well instead of good, because everyone thinks good is automatically wrong. It’s right in that context, so I immediately judge you.
Saying ‘I am doing good’ just makes me think you don’t understand grammar. I immediately judge you.
Ok, class dismissed. Go out and use grammar effectively!

Automatic transfer switches are typically the brains of your standby generator system. Whether they are installed indoors or out, these switches constantly monitor your utility power. When a power outage occurs, your facility will be provided with back-up power because the switch automatically turns on the standby generator, regardless of if you are in the building or not.
When the power fails, it can be very worrisome, especially when you are not on-site. Threats to your business can increase without a security system in place, data can be lost and perishable goods can spoil. Operations critical to your business are hampered. Data can be lost during sudden loss of power. Unexpected power outages are costly which makes it practical to purchase automatic transfer switches for generators in Wareham, MA. When the power goes out, standby generator systems will start immediately transferring the electrical load and restoring power to your business within seconds. Once the power is restored, the generator automatic transfer switch reverses the process, automatically switching off the generator without you commanding it.
To find out more about automatic transfer switches for standby generators, contact the South Shore Generator.
