How can East Herts People support me?
Young People: Get Involved With Politics!
Where can I meet East Herts People?
East Herts People is keen to hear from anyone who has a desire to become more involved in the community. If you feel that standing as an Independent Councillor is an appealing prospect then EHP can help you.
First of all it is important that you establish yourself in the community. Becoming involved in various projects within the local area gives you the opportunity to see if you like being a more involved community member. There are many different things you can do and by establishing a community profile you can give something back, find out what is important to local people, and start to build up support should you wish to stand for election as an Independent Councillor.
Become a school governor - Local schools in Hertford are always keen to hear from potential school governors. School governors work closely with the head teacher to make important decisions about the running of the school. You would be involved in deciding who becomes the head teacher and would be part of the decision making process regarding education matters and improving the standard of the school. It is an important role and you would be responsible for holding the school to account on key issues. If your child attends a school then the obvious way in to this position is to look out for parent governor elections and nominate yourself to stand. The other option is to approach the school and see of they will co opt you.
Become a volunteer helper within the Scout Association or Girlguiding UK. Working with young people in a volunteer setting is a rewarding and enjoyable way to give something back to the community. The Scouts and Guides are always on the look out for new volunteers to help lead their various groups such as Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Rainbows, Brownies and Guides.
Become a volunteer with the Citizen's Advice Bureau in Hertford. The CAB help people solve various legal and other problems and provide free advice. If you have time to spare and would like to be involved with an organisation such as this then go to Citezens Advice Bureau to find out more.

NEW YORK — What happens to players and teams in October remains baseball's great mystery. When a team plays as if it has caught a breeze at its back, there is no point analyzing. One can only sit back and enjoy.
This is provided, of course, it's your team that has been uplifted, driven forward. The Mets have that wind at their backs at the moment, and it threatens to lift and carry them right into the World Series.
"We're having a whole bunch of fun right now," said Daniel Murphy, who hit his fifth homer of the postseason. "You dream of it, being able to go to work with 24 men in there who are absolutely awesome guys."
Noah Syndergaard threw 5 2/3 innings of heat, 98 mph on a 45-degree New York night, and even the Mets' weak link, the bullpen, chipped in with important outs as the Mets beat the Cubs 4-1, to take a two-zip lead in the NLCS before 44,502 at Citi Field on Sunday night. And the carpet ride moves on to Chicago.
"We'll take what we've got, and we're going to ride that pitching," manager Terry Collins said. "The game is changing. Those power arms, everybody's got 'em, but usually they're in the bullpen. We have guys that can maintain 95 to 98 mph for six and seven innings at a time. I'll tell you, that's tough on hitters, especially in weather like this."
Now the Mets have beaten the Cubs' two best pitchers — Jon Lester and Jake Arrieta — and have their best in this postseason, Jacob deGrom, poised to pitched Game 3 at Wrigley Field against Chicago's Jason Hammel.
David Wright broke a postseason drought with an RBI double in the first inning, and Murphy followed with a nine-iron shot, just inside the right field foul pole to give the Mets a 3-0 lead against Arrieta, the first time in five years he allowed three runs in a first inning.
"Daniel is about as hot as anyone I've ever seen," Wright said.
"It sure makes it easier to pitch," Syndergaard said, "when the offense puts up a three-spot in the first against one of the best pitchers in the game."
As hot as Murphy has been, that's how cold Wright, the Mets' captain, has been — 1-for-19 in the first six postseason games. Collins told him, "if there's one guy around here who is not worried about it, it's me," and wrote his name in the lineup again.
"We need his presence in the lineup," Collins said. "That leadership, you have to have it on the field."
The Mets scraped for one more, on Yoenis Cespedes' RBI single in the third, and spent the rest of the game holding on. Syndergaard, who arrived in the majors in May, allowed three hits, walked one and struck out nine, but he had to work too hard — 97 pitches — to go too deep into the game. Right fielder Curtis Granderson's homer-robbing catch in the second inning helped keep Chicago scoreless, and finally Syndergaard and his flowing blond mop took their leave with two out in the sixth, after Kris Bryant's RBI double, and Collins pieced the rest of the game together.
"That ambush early got us," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "But you've got to give a lot of credit to their young pitcher. That's elite velocity, and he's a little more polished than when we first saw him [in Syndergaard's debut]."
Jonathan Niese, erstwhile starter, came on to get slugger Anthony Rizzo, who had been only 2 for 17 against him, to end the sixth. Then late-season acquisitions Addison Reed and Tyler Clippard, both of whom had been shaky of late, held the lead to the ninth when rock-solid Jeurys Familia came on to get his second save in two nights, fourth in the postseason.
"Those guys walk through those clubhouse doors, they hand their egos on the coat rack," Collins said. "They don't care who's in the game, just get it done."
The Cubs, who slugged their way to 97 regular season wins and a Division Series upset of the top-seeded Cardinals, have done little against Mets pitching in this series, a total of 10 hits, and the road gets only rougher with deGrom going Tuesday night. Chicago's quest to break all the various jinxes and win the World Series for the first time since 1908 has hit yet another serious roadblock.
"Listen, it's never going to be easy this time of year," Maddon said, "they're very good, and we know that coming in."
No one, though, could have foreseen what Murphy has done. He's hitting .429, and has homered off Clayton Kershaw (twice), Zach Grienke, Jon Lester and now, perhaps, the best pitcher in baseball in 2015, Arrieta, who was 22-6 with a 1.77 ERA in the regular season, 2-0, 2.45 in his first two postseason starts.
"You rarely see someone get that hot against average pitching," Wright said.
Maddon started Chris Coghlan in right field, in large part because he had homered against Syndergaard this year. It looked like a great move when Coghlan launched one toward the Mets' bullpen in the second inning, but Granderson got back to the wall and leapt, snaring the ball as it appeared headed for home run territory. Everything was going the Mets' way.
"That was a huge play for us," Syndergaard said, "it saved a run, potentially saved what could have been a comeback for them. Being able to throw a pitch at a certain time, make a mistake and have my defense back me up was unbelievable."

The Canon EOS 1100D (called Canon T3 in some regions) and the Fujifilm X100F are two digital cameras that were revealed to the public, respectively, in February 2011 and January 2017. The 1100D is a DSLR, while the X100F is a fixed lens compact. Both cameras are equipped with an APS-C sensor. The Canon has a resolution of 12.2 megapixels, whereas the Fujifilm provides 24 MP. Read on to find out how these two cameras compare with respect to their body size, their sensors, their features, their input-output connections, and their reception by expert reviewers.
The physical size and weight of the Canon 1100D and the Fujifilm X100F are illustrated in the side-by-side display below. The two cameras are presented according to their relative size. Three consecutive views from the front, the top, and the rear side are shown. All width, height and depth dimensions are rounded to the nearest millimeter.
The X100F can be obtained in two different colors (black, silver), while the 1100D is only available in black.
If the front view area (width x height) of the cameras is taken as an aggregate measure of their size, the Fujifilm X100F is notably smaller (27 percent) than the Canon 1100D. In this context, it is worth noting that neither the 1100D nor the X100F are weather-sealed.
The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete and possibly misleading, as the X100F has a lens built in, whereas the 1100D is an interchangeable lens camera that requires a separate lens. Attaching the latter will add extra weight and bulk to the setup. You can compare the optics available for the 1100D and their specifications in the Canon EF Lens Catalog.
Concerning battery life, the 1100D gets 700 shots out of its LP-E10 battery, while the X100F can take 390 images on a single charge of its NP-W126S power pack. The power pack in the X100F can be charged via the USB port, which can be very convenient when travelling.
Both cameras under consideration feature an APS-C sensor, but their sensors differ slightly in size. The sensor area in the X100F is 14 percent bigger. As a result of these sensor size differences, the cameras have format factors, respectively, of 1.6 (1100D) and 1.5. Both cameras have a native aspect ratio (sensor width to sensor height) of 3:2.
With 24MP, the X100F offers a higher resolution than the 1100D (12.2MP), but the X100F has smaller individual pixels (pixel pitch of 3.92μm versus 5.15μm for the 1100D). Yet, the X100F is a much more recent model (by 5 years and 11 months) than the 1100D, and its sensor will have benefitted from technological advances during this time that enhance the light gathering capacity of its pixel-units. Coming back to sensor resolution, it should be mentioned that the X100F has no anti-alias filter installed, so that it can capture all the detail its sensor resolves.
The Canon EOS 1100D has a native sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 6400 The corresponding ISO settings for the Fujifilm X100F are ISO 200 to ISO 12800, with the possibility to increase the ISO range to 100-51200..
Many modern cameras are not only capable of taking still images, but can also record movies. The two cameras under consideration both have sensors whose read-out speed is fast enough to capture moving pictures, but the X100F provides a better video resolution than the 1100D. It can shoot movie footage at 1080/60p, while the Canon is limited to 720/30p.
Beyond body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a range of features. For example, the X100F has an electronic viewfinder (2360k dots), while the 1100D has an optical one. Both systems have their advantages, with the electronic viewfinder making it possible to project supplementary shooting information into the framing view, whereas the optical viewfinder offers lag-free viewing and a very clear framing image. The viewfinder in the X100F offers a wider field of view (100%) than the one in the 1100D (95%), so that a larger proportion of the captured image is visible in the finder. On the other hand, the viewfinder of the 1100D has a higher magnification (0.50x vs 0.43x), so that the size of the image transmitted appears closer to the size seen with the naked human eye. The adjacent table lists some of the other core features of the Canon 1100D and Fujifilm X100F along with similar information for a selection of comparators.
Concerning the storage of imaging data, both the 1100D and the X100F write their files to SDXC cards. The X100F supports UHS-I cards (Ultra High Speed data transfer of up to 104 MB/s), while the 1100D cannot take advantage of Ultra High Speed SD cards.
For some imaging applications, the extent to which a camera can communicate with its environment can be an important aspect in the camera decision process. The table below provides an overview of the connectivity of the Canon EOS 1100D and Fujifilm X100F and, in particular, the interfaces the cameras (and selected comparators) provide for accessory control and data transfer.
It is notable that the X100F offers wifi support, which can be a very convenient means to transfer image data to an off-camera location. In contrast, the 1100D does not offer wifi capability.
The X100F is a recent model that features in the current product line-up of Fujifilm. In contrast, the 1100D has been discontinued (but it can be found pre-owned on eBay). As a replacement in the same line of cameras, the 1100D was succeeded by the Canon 1200D. Further information on the two cameras, as well as related accessories, can be found on the official Canon and Fujifilm websites.
So what conclusions can be drawn? Is the Canon 1100D better than the Fujifilm X100F or vice versa? A synthesis of the relative strong points of each of the models is listed below.
More compact: Is smaller (127x75mm vs 130x100mm) and will fit more readily into a bag.
If the count of individual advantages (bullet points above) is taken as a guide, the X100F is the clear winner of the contest (18 : 6 points). However, the relevance of individual strengths will vary across photographers, so that you might want to apply your own weighing scheme to the summary points when reflecting and deciding on a new camera.
Do the specifications of the Canon 1100D and the Fujifilm X100F place the cameras among the top in their class? Find out in the latest Best DSLR Camera and Best Prime Lens Compact Camera listings.
In any case, while the comparison of the spec-sheets of cameras can offer a general idea of their imaging potential, it remains incomplete and does no justice, for example, to the way the 1100D or the X100F perform in practice. User reviews, such as those found at amazon, can sometimes inform about these issues, but such feedback is often incomplete, inconsistent, and biased.

Weʼve raised £20,815 to found a project in Oliver Hare's name that will strive to prevent male suicide.
We've been overwhelmed by all the response so far and so touched by all of the incredibly kind and generous donations.
In the last few days of this campaign we are on a final push to raise as much as possible and are so grateful for all donations we receive!
Olly possessed a remarkable intelligence and a heartfelt sensitivity, enabling him to care for so many whilst pursuing a multitude of talents.
With a pioneering spirit and willingness to give, Olly was the driving force behind so many endeavours, from leading the university Think Tank society to compering Jazz performances at London's Adelphi Theatre. He also went on to achieve first-class honours in History at UCL.
His kindness was able to touch and inspire people around the world, from the orphans he spent time working with in Romania to his closest friends, who always looked to him for guidance. Despite his humble nature, his greatness was so apparent to all who knew him.
But depression is cruel and deceptive, making you feel like you have nothing to give and making it impossible for you to think clearly, especially about the long term.
Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK, with 75% of all suicides being carried out by men. With the terrible loss of our son, our brother, our nephew and our friend, this devastating statistic becomes all too real.
Olly’s impact on the world transcends that of most people who live out full lives. And this impact will continue through his memory and the influence he had on so many of us.
As suicide rates for men continue to climb, we will put every effort into preventing further tragedy.
During this time of sadness, we are grateful for any donations put towards this cause, no matter how large or small.
For Olly- a great housemate, mentor and friend, never to be forgotten- and to help others who are contemplating suicide or suffering from mental health problems.
Proud to support my cousin and his friends raising money for such an important cause in memory of their much loved and exceptional friend.
Olly that was a tragedy for you, family and friends. I send my love.

The outstanding and internationally renowned vocalist, guitarist and composer Allan Harris sums up his personal perspective on music in clear and straightforward terms. "There is nothing that I have found that defines and gives credence to my place in this wild and mysterious universe than this thing called music." Harris exemplifies that statement perfectly with his stunning new album Nobody's Gonna Love You Better (Black Bar Jukebox Redux), his eleventh album following on the heels of his highly acclaimed 2015 release Black Bar Jukebox.
For this, Harris takes an even more eclectic approach, drawing upon the wide range of music that he heard growing up in Brooklyn, and feasting on the expansive palette of the Harlem cultural landscape. "My new album captures some of the varied sounds and feelings that have shaped my growth as an artist. I had not one style to heavily rely upon when putting these tunes together, but only my young memories of music, people and events."
Nobody's Gonna Love You Better is a bold statement that builds upon the entire breadth of Harris' al-ready esteemed reputation, demonstrating his enormous versatility within the full scope of his highly creative musical vision. Swinging jazz, rich R&B, sumptuous balladry, wailing rock, rumbling blues and even a touch of playful Brazilian are all woven seamlessly into the tapestry of a musical odyssey that is all Allan Harris. With a deeply resonant baritone/tenor voice that is soulful, richly expressive and flawless in both intonation and phrasing, Harris displays a total command and fluency in every context.
Back from the previous album are the GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Brian Bacchus and Harris' longtime keyboard cohort Pascal Le Boeuf (on acoustic and electric pianos, and Hammond B3 organ), whose deep understanding and empathy for Harris' music creates a marvelous sense of intimacy and shared joy of expression. Pascal is also the primary instrumental soloist and delivers in an inspired fashion throughout. Joining Pascal in the exceptional rhythm section are Russell Hall on acoustic and electric bass, Shirazette Tinnin on drums and cajón, and Freddie Bryant on both electric and classical guitar. Together, with Harris also on acoustic, electric and resonator guitar, they provide impeccably flawless support, whether driving, embellishing, shaping or enhancing the settings as ideally suited to the intent of the music.
Freddie Green-like guitar strumming. For the iconic "Moody's Mood For Love," Harris takes the concept of making an often-performed song one's own to an entirely new level, offering a totally fresh interpretation--in rhythm, phrasing and lyrical structure--to the Eddie Jefferson classic. The Stan Getz/João Gilberto hit "Doralice" is a deliciously infectious samba, sung by Harris in Portuguese, and featuring a fine acoustic solo by Bryant.
The three popular song re-imaginations include a somewhat up-tempo blues shuffle take on Hendrix' "Up From The Skies," with Harris in a neatly syncopated groove over LeBoeuf's funky B3. Pascal's Hammond organ sets a bright tone for a bouncy swing version of Spiral Staircase's mega-hit "More Today Than Yesterday" and Steely Dan's "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" gets a transformation (and relocation) from Americana to Harlem, shifting smoothly between brisk syncopation and atmospheric rubato.
The four Harris originals aptly demonstrate that he is as skilled a composer as a vocalist--and his lyrics are moving, heartfelt and poetic. The album opener "Mother's Love (Nobody's Gonna Love You)" begins on a poignant, emotive and dramatic note before morphing into a vibrantly swinging excursion. Its bookend closer "Secret Moments" is a lovely, gentle and lushly evocative ballad, while "Swing" is a powerfully syncopated and punchy romp. Provocative, confrontational and rousing best describes "Blue Was Angry (from the Cross That River song-cycle). Hard-edged, fiery and with a message of barely-controlled ferocity, it flies over a rip-roaring rhythm section and Harris' raw electric guitar. It may be unexpected by Harris' large fan base, but it's deeply emotional and on point.
Over the past 20 years, Harris has steadily developed his reputation as one of the finest vocalists of his era. Brooklyn-born and Harlem-based, he has forged his sterling credentials through his ten previous al-bums, covering a broad range of contexts, all netted together within the rich territory of the jazz tradition. In addition to his recordings, he has performed on a worldwide stage that has taken him to prestigious international festivals and halls in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as the 2012 Olympics in London. At home, he has toured nationally at festivals and top venues, including New York's Lincoln Center and D.C.'s Kennedy Center. He has received numerous awards, including the New York Nightlife Award for "Outstanding Jazz Vocalist" (which he won three times), the Backstage Bistro Award for "Ongoing Achievement in Jazz," the Harlem Speaks "Jazz Museum of Harlem Award," and the DownBeat Critic's Poll Award for "Rising Star Vocalist." Nobody's Gonna Love You Better (Black Bar Jukebox Re-dux) will continue to build his legacy as another milestone in the extraordinary artistic aesthetic of Allan Harris.

Blossom Dearie, a beloved singer and pianist with a funny name and a curiously captivating voice, has died in New York at the age of 84. Dearie made her recording debut on the Verve label in 1956 with a self-titled album. Blossom Dearie set the pattern for future recordings, using a small backing band to put the emphasis on Dearie's playing and imaginative, just-inches-from-the-microphone readings. Dearie eventually took to recording for her own label, beginning in the 1970s, and continued performing, mostly in New York and London, until 2006. Stephen Holden has an appreciative, detailed obituary at The New York Times.
Readers of a certain age also know her voice well from a pair of entries in ABC's '70s and '80s Schoolhouse Rock segments.

I love to share things with the one I'm with and to make them feel that the honeymoon phase of a new relationship doesn't have to end. In a committed relationship it's not what you can get out of it, to me it's about what we can give to it. Everyday letting him know in some way that you are thinking and appreciate him,something as simple as a kiss on his neck when he least expects it and watching the smile he gives you for it. I love to cuddle on the couch, or simply holding hands while taking a walk, simple things yes, but important to me. I love to open doors for my man, weather you are older than i am, i think its just a matter of the heart. I am very warm, laid back, with a great sense of humor who is willing to be with that special man till the earth comes to an end.
Looking for someone who knows what he is looking for in life and dont need anyone to show him how to love or be loved .

The world's biggest offshore banking scandal involved thousands of people and millions of data points -- and for that you need some smart software tools.
Graph databases like this one from Neo4j can illustrate patterns in large data sets, like those involved with the Panama Papers.
Before April this year, if you had thought about Panama at all it would probably have been while leafing through a holiday brochure.
But the tiny Central American republic is now also associated with the huge leak of financial records known as the Panama Papers, which have revealed how huge amounts of money have apparently been been hidden in tax havens around the world.
The revelations are the work of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), a New York-based organisation with members including the Washington Post and Le Monde as well as the UK's Guardian and BBC.
To sift through all the data, journalists used graph database software from Neo4j. To find out how this technology unravelled the biggest news story of the decade so far, we spoke to ICIJ's data editor, Mar Cabra.

Cabra: Yes, I am a trained journalist. I was a TV journalist at first and did various work including as a TV journalist here in Manchester. I worked for CNN plus in Spain and for network news there.
But then I realised that I didn't quite fit into the fast-paced news line and so I went to university in New York and specialised in investigative journalism. It was there that I discovered data journalism and how data can be used to create systematic stories. And then from data journalism, I started to work with developers and that is how I got into the ICIJ and started to do investigative reports. I have been head of investigative reports there since 2014.
Q: How do you set about developing stories based on data?
With the Panama Papers, our colleagues at Süddeutsche Zeitung got this large leak of 2.6 terabytes of data and they came to us and said, 'Hey, we can't possibly analyse all this, let's get a team together'.
My team spent a good couple of months looking into the data to look first at how we could tackle this dataset. By that I mean a combination of data and documents. So we started by saying, 'let's process these documents and then see what sort of analysis we can perform and then see what the story is'.
ICIJ's Cabra: "One of our core questions is, 'can we speak about this systematically?'"
Sometimes we have a problem that has data in it and we try to figure out how to solve it. Other times it is different, for example we did something on the World Bank. One of our investigative reporters picked up something from sources that suggested that the World Bank was financing development projects all around the world that were displacing people, either economically or physically, and this was a widespread problem.
We looked into it and it did seem to be a problem, so our next step was to ask: How can we quantify this problem so that we can talk about it from a systematic perspective? What are the data sources? How can we tackle this? How can we deal with this as a systematic problem?
At ICIJ we always try to establish three criteria when dealing with a topic. And we only deal with two or three problems a year so the questions are very important.
The three questions are: Is it of a global concern? Are we dealing with a system that is broken? And, are we likely to get a result?
As you can see, one of our core questions is, 'can we speak about this systematically?' Whether we already have a dataset or whether we know that there is a problem, we need to show that it is systemic.
Q: So this is ground-breaking stuff, life-changing issues?
You know, right now there is no investigation that we are doing, that is underway that doesn't have a data component. If you think about data from a journalistic perspective -- and, I guess, from a business perspective too -- it shows you how something happens in a systematic way. And then from a journalist's view again, it can show you stories that you may not have known about.
Q: How did the ICIJ get involved in graph data?
Back in 2014 the ICIJ published a list of some 1,400 offshore tax havens and a list of more than 100,000 companies that were using these tax havens. We just published a lot of data and for the last three years, that has been the most successful product that ICIJ has produced.
Our public, our readers were amazed and just loved it -- and then they went off and did their own work and kept on expanding the networks.
The first thing we realised was that it was very popular for the data but then we thought that maybe it would be interesting from a reporting perspective.
We started looking at software that allowed us to visualise graphs internally. We asked around for suitable software and Neo4j was recommended. We tried it out, we liked it, and off we went.
It was very good because it was very easy to use. They just give you a license, you put it on your server, connect to the Neo4j database, and within hours you're visualising. You just put the password protection on top of it and there you have it. It is very easy to have in a closed network.
Q: Did you use it on something else before the Panama Papers came along?
Data-mining technology is thrown into the spotlight thanks to the tale of 11.5 million files.
We used it on the Swiss leaks data -- the HSBC data. But in that case we were only able to use it towards the end of the project. It was very helpful for fact checking and to make sure we had explored all of the connections. And it established very quickly that we had missed some connections.
It was very useful to see documents and to see graphs, and our brains are not wired to see graphs. You can look at documents and you can draw things because you can see them. But I remember when our reporters were using [Neo4j] back then, they were saying, 'oh my god, this is like magic, I am finding connections that I had missed'.
Q: You had the Panama Papers and Neo4j -- what's next?
We needed a platform to explore documents, to search documents -- basically a private Google that allows us to search documents and gives us a way to explore the connections but only of the client database.
I think we could have done much more. For example, even documents can be structured so take for example emails. I was just talking to a colleague who stopped me when I was coming here. He said, 'you need to do something with emails'. I said we couldn't because we didn't have enough time. But all emails have data: the sender, the 'to' and 'from', the subject and so on.
We could have abstracted the metadata and analysed the patterns of behaviour at Mossack Fonseca and all that, but we just didn't have time. But that's also a graph -- you want to see, who is the concentrator of communications, who is communicating with others.
Journalism is all about finding the connections and many times the connections are not straightforward. That is how the graph software allows you to see what is behind these links.
I am fascinated by the idea that we can try to connect everything that we have to understand the world better, to understand the documents that we have.
In the offshore world it is all about these layers of secrecy and graphs are a way to explore them.

What do you need to be successful? Are your organized for success? Are your personnel productive? Are your business processes helping you achieve your objectives, or slowing you down? Do you have adequate visibility into your observations? When opportunities and problems occur, do you have sufficient time so properly resolve them. Is your technology friend or foe? Are your prepared to handle those unforeseen situations? A Needs Assessments examines an organization to determine how to improve its personnel, processes and technology to make it more successful.
A Needs Assessment simply determines how well a company or group is performing. It identifies those personnel, processes and technologies that are operating well, and those areas where improvement could be made. The assessment can even provide both a scorecard and an ROI justification for the acquisition of some critical personnel, process and/or technology. A larger assessment is typically performed by a team of experts of the course of a month or two. Small assessments can be performed by a senior individual using a process that we have perfected over a number of years and many assessments.
Every program should have a positive contribution to an organization’s bottom line. Not all do.
While a Needs Assessments examines an organization and its operations, a Program Review assesses how well a formal program is performing across multiple organizations. It determines how well a program is meeting its objectives, and it identifies those areas that could be improved, and at what cost.

The EFF spokesperson has hit back at criticism that his party siding with the DA is somehow a sellout position.
National spokesperson of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has slated those who are accusing the party of “selling” their votes.
Following the results of the 2016 local government elections where no party won an outright majority, the EFF refused to go into coalition with what they call “a racist party”, the DA, but they nevertheless decided to vote for the DA so they could unseat the ANC. During interviews last week, EFF leader Julius Malema confirmed that “ideologically speaking”, there was no difference between the ANC and the DA, but the DA was “a better devil”.
Now their alleged voters have accused the EFF on Twitter of selling their votes to the DA, which now controls the hung metros Tshwane, Nelson Mandela Bay and Johannesburg, which were previously firmly in the grip of the ANC.
Ndlozi, however, has responded that the criticism of the EFF must be coming primarily from the ANC pretending to speak for EFF supporters. He fired back with: “People who have been selling out for 22yrs, provincially & nationally say to us we are selling out for just removing them in 2 metros #njani.
Meanwhile, councillors belonging to the EFF caused a stir in the Johannesburg council when they called for ANC member of the mayoral committee Dan Bovu to arrested.
Bovu, whom the EFF calls “a wanted criminal”, is accused of trying to bribe EFF councillors over the weekend to the tune of R500 000 so they would vote for the ANC during the election of the mayor of Johannesburg.
“Dan Bovu has been calling our councillors, offering them money to the value of R500 000 in exchange for them to vote with the ANC during the elections of the Johannesburg City Council tomorrow,” said the EFF.
The councillors said they had opened a case of corruption and bribery against Bovu at the Edwarado Park and Brixton police stations. On Sunday, Bovu denied all these allegations, and threatened to sue the EFF for defamation.

Central vision loss means that you find it difficult to see objects that are directly in your line of sight. The loss of clarity in the center of your vision can obviously have a major impact on your ability to accomplish simple, everyday tasks, such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces.
There are many different eye conditions and vision health issues that can lead to central vision loss. The team at our Detroit vision center can help treat these issues. Below is just a brief list of conditions that can result in central vision loss.
AMD is the leading cause of central vision loss in people over the age of 50. The condition affects the macula, which is the central portion of the retina. Macular degeneration comes in two forms: dry AMD, which comprises 90 percent of all cases, and the much rarer wet AMD.
Dry AMD cannot be cured, but it can be managed and central vision loss can be slowed down or stopped. Common treatments for managing dry AMD include lifestyle improvements and the use of lutein and zeaxanthin supplements.
As for wet AMD, there are laser surgeries that can potentially help address the condition. Lifestyle improvements and use of lutein and zeaxanthin supplements can help with management.
Diabetic retinopathy is a condition associated with long-term diabetes. This eye problem involves weakening blood vessels of the retina. This can result in problems with bloodflow and leakage of new blood vessels, both leading to vision loss.
The ideal treatment for diabetic retinopathy typically involves proper management of a patient's insulin and blood sugar. Controlling diabetes can prevent the condition from developing. Laser therapy and other procedures may be considered if the condition significantly impacts vision.
A macular edema is a condition in which the macula becomes swollen or grows thicker. Should this happen, the macula may not be able to function as it once did, resulting in problems with the quality of central vision.
To treat macular edema, the use of anti-VEGF drugs may be recommended to help control growth of abnormal blood vessels in the area. Laser therapy may also be considered to help reduce or manage the growth of the macula.
Macular puckers occur when part of the macular is bumpy, wrinkles, or uneven. A macular hole refers to a small puncture in the macula itself. Both of these issues can have a serious effect on central vision.
For macular pucker, treatment is not always necessary. The condition may resolve on its own or simply does not affect vision quality. When issues arise, a vitrectomy may be recommended. A vitrectomy may similarly be recommended to address a macular hole.
Stargardt's disease is an inherited form of macular degeneration, affecting children and young adults. The condition affects 1 in 10,000 people, and leads to progressive central vision loss.
At the moment there is no cure for Stargardt's disease, but eye doctors can work to reduce the amount of vision loss experienced. Management of Stargardt's disease may involve a combination of special dark lenses to protect the eyes and regular intake of vitamin A supplements.
For more information about your vision correction options as well as preventative care tips, we encourage you to contact our advanced laser eye care center today. We will work with you to help prevent further vision loss and, when possible, restore the quality of your eyesight.

Q: What was it like growing up in the Dominican Republic?
A: It was good for me because my mom and dad always took care of me. I started playing baseball when I was 9 or 10 and they took care of me. It was easy for me. I never had a job (laughs). The only thing I did was go to school and play baseball.
The starting pitcher talks about his hometown, his journey to the big leagues and his snappy fashion sense.
Q: Is that still home for you?
A: Yes, still. Every year I go back after the season. I stay there for four months and then come back for Spring Training.
Q: Is it a lot different for you, going back? Are you a different person?
A: No, it’s the same. I have a lot of friends everywhere I go and I enjoy my time in the U.S., too.
Q: What’s your best baseball memory from the Dominican?
A: The day I signed my first contract [with the Rangers] to be a professional baseball player. That was the most exciting moment of my life. You start playing at nine years old and you never think you’re going to be a professional baseball player. It was my best moment. My mom and dad was there. They were more excited than even me. I jumped from being a little kid to being a professional player.
Q: Not only did you become a professional baseball player, but now you’re going to America and having to adjust to another country. How was that?
A: It was hard for me a little bit because I had to learn English. I got lucky because all my roommates knew Spanish and English, so I learned how to speak a little bit. I remember one of my teammates, John Danks, he’s a pitcher for the White Sox, and he was my roommate for four years in a row. He used to watch cartoons and I used to watch Telemundo. We made a rule -- he had to watch Telemundo for one hour, and I had to watch cartoons for an hour. It gave me a good example. Like a little kid growing up, you listen and listen and listen, and keep repeating, and it helped me a lot.
Q: Besides the language, what was the biggest shock to you?
A: Just being away from my family. I was excited to come to the States, but about two months later I just wanted to go back home. I missed everybody back in the Dominican. I didn’t know if I wanted to stay playing because I wanted to see my family. I was sad a little bit. They didn’t have a visa to come visit me.
Q: Where most players’ families come see their major league debut, you didn’t have that, right?
A: I remember in 2005 when I made my debut against the White Sox, I got a lot of support from the scouts and the guy who first signed me with Teas. He was there. He flew from the Dominican to Arlington to see me pitch.
Q: You had a rough start with the Rangers, and you ended up going back down to Single-A and then working your way back up. Was that frustrating for you?
A: It’s like one of my friends says: “Sometimes you have to step back to go forward.” At the time, I didn’t understand, because if I play in the Big Leagues, why do I have to go all the way back to Single-A? Finally I did it and I did whatever they wanted me to do. I think it was better for me because I came back and won like 14 games in a row. It made me better. It made me a better person.
Q: In 2008, you made the All-Star team with the Cincinnati Reds and in another game, went head-to-head with Cliff Lee and won. Did you realize how big that was?
A: It was big-time. He was the leader in the American League and I was the leader in ERA, innings, strikeouts, everything. You don’t see that too many times -- those pitchers from both leagues going against each other. The Reds gave me a lot of run support too (laughs).
Q: I always see you by your locker, you have your headphones on, you’re smiling, you’re doing a little dancing. You like that, right?
A: Yeah. I’m a happy person and I like to enjoy everywhere I go. I like music, dancing, and I like to play around with my teammates, make them happy and give them support. When I went to Cincinnati, it was a happy clubhouse: “We lost today, but we’re going to get it tomorrow.” That’s what I try to give those guys in there. If we lost today, there’s nothing we can do. All we can do is get better and get ready for our next game.
Q: You’re a very snappy dresser, too. Where’d you get your fashion sense?
A: I don’t know. I just know how to do it.

text: The 5.3 is a terrific carbon fiber racquet suitable for a wide range of players. The 5.3 originally released sold for 139.95; it was re-released and we are happy to offer them at a great price. The 5.3 is one of the world’s best selling racquets ever. It offers excellent stability and control with modest power in a light-weight, comfortable playing frame. The 5.3 OS suits 3.0-4.0 players with a modest up to a full swing. This is a “Wilson Hammer” type racquet which means it is balanced to be a bit head heavy; although the extra head weight is not particularly noticeable in the 5.3. Players with a very deep swing may find the OS a bit too powerful. It is maneuverable, the hammer head weighting is nice for following through the ball, and it is generally comfortable to use.

Reports in the Israeli media indicate that Honduras may be the next nation to move its embassy to the Jewish state’s capital.
A Honduran delegation arrived in Israel reportedly to investigate a potential embassy move to Jerusalem.
Following secret discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Honduran delegation is now weighing the move, with a number of factors playing into the decision, according to Times of Israel.
Among the demands reportedly floated by Honduras are Israel’s commitment to open an embassy in Honduras’ capital, Tegucigalpa, in addition to strengthening bilateral trade with the Central American nation, reported the Times.
While Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon commented on the Honduran delegation’s presence in Israel, he did not speak directly to the embassy move discussions.
Meanwhile, Tegucigalpa did not comment on the prospects of an embassy move either.
If Honduras proceeds with relocation of its embassy, in will join the US, which made the move last May after President Donald Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017.
Earlier this month, Australia recognized “West Jerusalem” as Israel’s capital, but declared it would not move its embassy until final status issues were fully negotiated with the Palestinians.

These 4 key factors are the main things to consider when you’re building your day-time routine for the first time. Each factor has a benefit to oily skin types, yes, having oily skin does not always mean you should use only oil removing and mattifying products. After much research and hunting, we have put together a complete day-time skincare routine for those looking to create their skincare routine using the best drugstore skincare for oily skin.
In the below list, you will find some of the best items on the market today for oily skin. This list is catered to those who are not in their adolescence. If you are under the age of 19, products numbers 1,2, and 5 will be all your skin needs.
Believe it or not, even with oily skin, adding a facial oil into your routine might be the secret solution you have been looking for. In some cases, our skin produces excessive oil in the attempt to compensate for a lack of oil in our skin. When this happens you end up with oily dehydrated skin. This skin type is characterised by a shiny skin appearance that feels oily to the touch, however, it still feels “tight” as if the skin is pulling. This usually happens to those in their 20’s+, while not being common in adolescence. If you think this might be your case, then try adding a pure facial oil into your routine! The best drugstore skincare for oily skin might be this facial oil from Physicians Formula. Made of only pure 100% argan oil, this facial oil is safe to use on any skin types, will not clog the pores or cause irritation! Argan oil is not only amazing for the hair, but it also if for the skin as it adds deep moisture and nutrition with skin-repairing benefits.

At 24,785 feet, Minya Konka is a peak sacred to Buddhists and the world’s highest peak outside of the Himalayas. This exciting trek follows the pilgrimage route to Konka Monastery below the base camp for Minya Konka. An inscription at the monastery translates as ‘To behold it (Minya Konka) is worth 10 years of meditation’. When Joseph Rock came here in 1930 to survey the mountain, he caused great consternation among the Royal Geographic Society when he sent a telegram to London stating that the mountain was the highest in the world with his measurement of 30,250 feet. The error in measurement was only laid to rest two years later when a better equipped American team came to make a second survey. During the survey, two of the party succeeded in reaching the summit, then the highest peak ever climbed and still today viewed as a remarkable achievement given the difficult nature of the climb. Although Minya Konka is the undoubted centerpiece of this great trek to a little-visited mountain region of Sichuan, there is much more to the trip than this photogenic mountain. The distinctive regions of western China and eastern Tibet each have their own unique dialect, customs, architecture clothing styles, art, and music. This trip will provide you an insight into the rural life of the Kham region and also of the Minyak people who inhabit this region.
The Minya Konka Trek (Camping Trip) is part of our Classic Himalayan Trek Series. In addition to our listed group dates, we are also able to arrange this trek beginning on any date during the months of April, May, September and October for a group of 2 to 10 people.
Day 1: Arrive in Chengdu. Afternoon visit to the Chengdu Panda Breeding Center.

assertThrows to ensure a bit of code throws an expected exception.
To get moving quickly in ScalaTest, learn and use these three assertions. Later if you prefer you can switch to the more expressive matchers DSL.
withClue to add more information about a failure.
All of these constructs are described below.
If the passed expression is true, assert will return normally. If false, Scala's assert will complete abruptly with an AssertionError. This behavior is provided by the assert method defined in object Predef, whose members are implicitly imported into every Scala source file. This Assertions trait defines another assert method that hides the one in Predef. It behaves the same, except that if false is passed it throws TestFailedException instead of AssertionError. Why? Because unlike AssertionError, TestFailedException carries information about exactly which item in the stack trace represents the line of test code that failed, which can help users more quickly find an offending line of code in a failing test. In addition, ScalaTest's assert provides better error messages than Scala's assert.
The detail message in the thrown TestFailedException from this assert will be: "2 did not equal 1".
// Error message: "hello" started with "h", but "goodbye" did not end with "y"
Using this form of assert, the failure report will be more specific to your problem domain, thereby helping you debug the problem. This Assertions trait also mixes in the TripleEquals, which gives you a === operator that allows you to customize Equality, perform equality checks with numeric Tolerance, and enforce type constraints at compile time with sibling trait TypeCheckedTripleEquals.
In this case, the expected value is 2, and the code being tested is a - b. This assertion will fail, and the detail message in the TestFailedException will read, "Expected 2, but got 3."
If charAt throws IndexOutOfBoundsException as expected, control will transfer to the catch case, which does nothing. If, however, charAt fails to throw an exception, the next statement, fail(), will be run. The fail method always completes abruptly with a TestFailedException, thereby signaling a failed test.
This code behaves much like the previous example. If charAt throws an instance of IndexOutOfBoundsException, assertThrows will return Succeeded. But if charAt completes normally, or throws a different exception, assertThrows will complete abruptly with a TestFailedException.
Note that the assertTypeError call will only succeed if the given snippet of code does not compile because of a type error. A syntax error will still result on a thrown TestFailedException.
Although the previous three constructs are implemented with macros that determine at compile time whether the snippet of code represented by the string does or does not compile, errors are reported as test failures at runtime.
The withClue method will only prepend the clue string to the detail message of exception types that mix in the ModifiableMessage trait. See the documentation for ModifiableMessage for more information. If you wish to place a clue string after a block of code, see the documentation for AppendedClues.
Next, learn about tagging your tests.

Sweet Little Things offers custom-designed cupcakes. Below are some flavor inspirations, but the possibilities are endless! Take a look, grab a napkin for your drool, and enjoy. All cupcakes need to be ordered by the dozen per flavor. We're a small home business so making multiple flavors within just one dozen just isn't a possibility yet.
Wedding inquiries, please email us for more information. Cake tastings are $30, for up to 3 flavors, in the form of cupcakes. You will get a sit-down consultation, and will get to bring a box of a dozen cupcakes home with you.
Arnold Palmer - a sweet tea and lemonade cupcake with a matching frosting that has a fresh lemon zip to it.
Salted Caramel Banana - a rich, dense banana cupcake topped with a sweet and salted caramel buttercream, sprinkled with fleur de sel.
Chocolate Spice - a dark chocolate cupcake topped with a rich chocolate buttercream laced with spices to give your cupcakes a sweet-heat kick!
Vanilla Latte - a deep, robust coffee cupcake, with a light and creamy vanilla buttercream, sprinkled with coffee grounds and cocoa.
Elvis Presley's Peanut Butter Banana - a super moist, spongy banana cupcake topped with a salty-sweet peanut butter buttercream, fit for The King. To channel Elvis even more - ask for bacon to be added to the buttercream!
**Some flavors are not available as Vegan. Please inquire first! I'll do my best to turn them Vegan.
Also, some long-time customers may notice that some flavors are missing (like cream cheese frosting, tiramisu, cassatta or cannoli cupcakes). In order to fall under the Cottage Food Laws in the state of Ohio, all baked good must be shelf stable, and not need refrigeration. I'm working on formulating these flavors into non-refrigerated items. I hope you all understand, as these were some of my favorite flavors too!
