As much as I don’t want to admit it, I know my parents are getting older and soon I’ll assume the role of caregiver for them. It’s a role I take on reluctantly, and one I’ll probably avoid for as long as I can. I have my own family now and I don’t need any more responsibility than I currently have. My greatest fear is I’ll get a call and find out one or both of my parents have had a traumatic event—an automobile accident, a fall, a heart attack, or a stroke has struck down the strongest people in my life and it’s now my duty to look after them.
If you can’t relate to me yet, you will soon. So what do you need to know to be prepared for this inevitable life change?
You rush to the hospital in a panic and find neither the hospital’s emergency room staff nor the attending physician will tell you very much about what happened to your parent. Why is that? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed by Congress in 1996. One of its provisions ensured the privacy of health care information. HIPAA prohibits health care workers from discussing medical information with anyone other than the patient. If you don’t have a HIPAA release authorization naming you as your parent’s personal representative, then their doctor (or anyone else at the hospital) may refuse to give you any information. This can include your parent’s health insurance company. If you want to be involved in their medical decisions and act an advocate for them with the hospital and their insurance company, you’ll need to be their designated personal representative. You should have HIPAA release documents filed with both your parent’s physicians and their health insurance provider.
Now suppose your worst fears are confirmed. Your mom or dad has had a fall or a stroke, leaving them incapacitated. Perhaps their mild dementia has gotten much worse and they are angry and confused. The doctors are telling you there are three possible courses of treatment and someone must decide which course to take. To make matters even worse, your brother who hasn’t communicated with the family in the last ten years has just arrived, and he has some ideas of his own. Your parent is suffering. What do you need to take control and get them the help they need? If you have a Durable Medical Power of Attorney you can make the medical decisions for them if they’re determined to be medically incapacitated by their physicians. It’s “durable” because once it’s put in place it remains in force until it’s rescinded. It appoints you as their responsible person who will make decisions on their medical care if they are unable to do so. You’ll be empowered to act as their representative and make the choices they would want if they could act for themselves. Only those named as a personal representative on the medical power of attorney (so, not your estranged brother) will be able to weigh in on health decisions. It’s always a good idea to put this document together now, while everyone is healthy, so you don’t have to worry about these possible scenarios.
Things go from bad to worse, and as the days drag on your parent gets weaker and lapses into a coma. The whole family is distraught and arguing over the treatment plans. Your parent’s doctors tell you they can continue to provide medical care, food and hydration, and even take drastic steps to keep your parent alive. Alternatively they can set up hospice care and offer a comfortable and loving path to the conclusion of your parent’s life journey. How is that decision made? If your parent has made a living will they will have left their instructions on how they want to be cared for when they are too incapacitated to state their own wishes. A living will designates the person who is responsible for fulfilling their wishes. The living will also establishes the medical conditions and time frames empowering the responsible person to make the decision to suspend aggressive medical treatment, and take actions to make the patient as comfortable as possible. If your parent has made a living will they will have given clear instructions for their final care, and empowered their representative to carry out their wishes. Without a living will, doctors will have few choices other than providing aggressive medical treatments even if the outcomes are uncertain and your parent’s comfort level is compromised.
As time goes on and your parent remains incapacitated, you take over responsibility for looking after their affairs. The rent still needs to be paid and the utility bills pile up. You want to be able to look after their concerns but you don’t have the resources or authority to act for them. What do you need? If they’ve given you or someone they trust a Financial Power of Attorney they will have designated an agent to look after their financial interests. This allows you to cash their pension checks and pay their bills for them. You should check ahead of time to see what their financial institutions require. Some banks and investment companies want very recent documents and some want the powers executed on their own in-house forms. Asking first will reduce the number of frustrations when you need to act. Also, your parent may want to put reasonable restrictions and limits on what you can do with this power. The Colorado Bar Association has a good discussion of this topic on their website.
The unimaginable happens, and your parent passes away. You are emotionally distraught and left with a profound sense of loss and endless questions on how their estate will be settled. It is very helpful in this situation if your parent executed a will before they passed away. A will names an executor who can look after their estate. The will provides instructions for the distribution of their property, the care of dependents (if any), and their wishes for funeral services. If your parent dies without a will, the state has laws which determine how their estate will be divided among surviving relatives. Having a will in place reduces family arguments over the distribution of property and ensures your parent’s wishes are fulfilled. This will give you peace of mind and certainty at a time of emotional stress.
How do I get these documents in order?
The first step is to have a serious discussion with your parent and find out what their wishes are in all of these scenarios. Once you have established their wishes, get the necessary documents and have them signed, witnessed, and notarized. The best way to accomplish this is by utilizing an attorney. You can find one through the Colorado Bar Association website and search for Estate Planning. For most folks with average assets, a complete estate plan with Power of Attorneys, Living Wills, and Wills should cost between $400 and $600. This will be money well spent if you ever need these documents. Alternatively you can find the Colorado Power of Attorney (includes both medical and financial) and the Living Will on line and get them executed yourself. If your parent is a PERA member or retiree then you can contact PERA to get a Power of Attorney form that is specific to PERA (however, PERA will accept the Colorado Power of Attorney form, above, in lieu of the specific PERA form). HIPAA releases generally need to be obtained directly from each doctor or medical facility, so work with your parent to ensure you have forms for every physician. If you can, it’s best to be proactive with your parent’s physician and caregivers, and find out what they need to help your parents when they can’t act for themselves.
It’s ironic, but even though they had almost nine months to prepare to look after you, you may not have any time to prepare to look after them. If you take the time now to get these documents in place, you will be well-equipped to deal with the institutional and financial concerns for your parents.

I have to say i loved this book - well novella!
I hadnt read any of the Red Ridge stories yet, so i know this is a prequel to the very first book, im hoping i havent ruined it for the rest of the series when i finally get around to reading them.
It brings us to when Lily and Marcus were teenagers and having fun, but then Marcus was lined up to be the packs Alpha (sorry- werewolves!). Lily stands by him but feels a big distance between them until she puts 2 and 3 together and gets 4 and realises hes seeing another girl.
But she cant just finish it. Pack laws have made it that Marcus and Lily WILL be married, love or not....which is a little sad to read - its so clear that neither want to be together.
Lily goes to the local fair with a friend who scoots off as soon as she spots a "hottie" leaving Lily alone and wandering around by herself.
She sits next to a stage while a band warms up to play and finding herself enjoying the music she moves so she can see them....and in particular a certain guitarist/singer....who spots her right back.
But Lily is betrothed to Marcus.
Shes a werewolf - something that should never be revealed to humans.
And shes in love with paul.....and miserable.
Something needs to help Lily be happy - and in the knock on process...make Marcus happy too.
Well, i wasnt disappointed and the novella didnt spoil it for me in the slightest, so if you were looking to read the series, the novella can be read first (and probably best to do so, so you have the back ground of the Wright family).
This book centers about Allison and her brother Aiden. For some reason Alli's life has changed over the last 6 months and she doesnt know why - her friends now hate her, boys are pawing over her, her temper and anger is hard to control and to top it off shes constantly hot and sweating!
Shes the polar opposite to her popular, loved and happy brother Aiden.
And then the bombshell that they were to be moving back to the Pack to help them with the changes.
Alli thinks its great - a fresh start with new people. Aiden, is sad to leave his popular life, but understands why the move.
...but Marcus forbids him to ever see her and to disobey an alpha.....not a good thing.
Another great book in the series!
This one centres on Aiden, Allie's brother.
And also, a werewolf hunter, Peter, that has been thought of as crazy and institutionalized because of it. He stumbles across Red Ridge and in his head he speaks to his (dead) uncle who was mauled to death by a werewolf.
A lot of revelations shock Aiden. Turns his life into something hes not sure of, and certainly not ready to accept!
He's finally had has first change and realises that anger is what triggers it off, and loves the feeling of being so free and finally feels at home in his skin.
Allies first friend that she met in Red Ridge, Teagan has suddenly caught Aidens attention and he cant get her out of his mind.
Teagan however has no idea why someone as gorgeous as Aiden wants in HER. Shes had a bad time in the past when a gorgeous boy showed interest in her, slept with her and then dumped her, so shes not quick to jump in with Aiden.
And of course, shes a "domestic" - what werewolves call humans.
Marcus the Alpha, is less than pleased when he discovers Aiden is dating her. And actually tries to stop it. Unsuccessfully.
But will Teagan give in to her feelings, that are growing more for Aiden everyday?
Will Aiden be as persistent do get her attention?
How can a were date a human with Marcus's stand?
Will Peter the hunter get to fulfil his uncles revenge?
I'm not gonna tell you the answers to these, but its such a great book to read, and is one of those ones that are hard to put down!

This tarnished German silver instrument has two arms pivoted at one end. One arm has a tracer point and index marks for four ratios: 1 square D. (centimeters or meters, perhaps), 15 square inches, 10 square inches, and 10 square chains. A screw assembly adjusts the length of the tracer arm. A support for the tracer point prevents it from tearing the paper. Two numbers are stamped underneath the arm: 31, which appears to overstamp the number 33, and 690.
The other arm is jointed. A cylindrical weight may be placed in the end of that arm. Underneath the weight is marked: 35. The jointed part of the arm is marked: KEUFFEL & ESSER Co N.Y. Underneath the arm is stamped: 31. A carriage at the pivot holds a white plastic measuring wheel with vernier and a horizontal metal registering dial.
A mahogany case has dark blue velvet lining the supports. A leather pouch holds the weight. A paper chart for adjusting the tracer arm is held in the lid by black plastic edges and brass screws. The columns are labeled: Proportion, Adjustement [sic] on tracer-arm, and Value of unit of the Vernier. "Sq. units" is handwritten above the first entry in the Proportion column (1:1,000). The vernier entry for proportion 1:4,000 has been changed from 100 to 160 square meters.
Keuffel & Esser sold this planimeter as model 1102 from 1892 to 1901 and as model 4220 from 1901 to 1936. It sold for $28.00 in 1909 and for $45.50 in 1936. The serial number, 690, and lack of rectangular support for the joint in the weighted arm suggest that this example was made later than 1981.0348.01. Wesleyan University donated this planimeter to the Museum in 1984–1985 with a large collection of plaster and string mathematical models purchased in 1895 from the Darmstadt, Germany, firm of L. Brill.

True story. And there’s proof too.
Just for the record here: I didn’t come up with it. In a study researchers found that when you make a picture of your food before eating, it “increases attitudes and taste evaluations of the experience when consumption actually takes place”. More simply, you think the foods tastes better. Even more remarkable is that you will probably think it’s healthier too.
Ok, it probably isn’t because of your immeasurable photography skills, but because you took a moment and ‘realize’ the food is there. So here’s a new question to research: does this conclusion mean that us photographing foodies have a natural instinct for (wanting to) appreciating food?

Juliet Zawedde, a reproductive health teacher with Kibuli School of Nursing in Uganda, blogs about her use of a new suite of materials developed by Pathfinder International’s Evidence to Action Project. The materials have been used during pre-service education to improve the capacity of up-and-coming members of Uganda’s family planning health workforce. Juliet Zawedde has been a reproductive health teacher for more than 30 years.
Over the 13 years that Uganda’s Kibuli School of Nursing has had a nursing and midwifery program, the number of graduating students has steadily increased. The first 19 students graduated in 2007. Last year, 120 new nurses and midwives received diplomas or certificates from Kibuli. The exponential growth in nurses and midwives entering the health workforce at Kibuli and schools throughout the African continent presents a great opportunity to increase the reach and impact of family planning providers.
To reach their ultimate potential as a family planning health workforce, however, students need adequate training during pre-service education that will allow them to become high-performing nurses and midwives. They need to be given the chance to acquire the skills necessary to offer their clients individualized, voluntary family planning counseling and full contraceptive method choice.
In April 2018, The Evidence to Action Project (E2A) developed a new tool—packaged as a suite of practical teaching materials—that can support nursing and midwifery programs to graduate nurses and midwives as strong family planning providers. The Training Resource Package for Pre-Service Education in Family Planning and Adolescent and Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health (“TRP for PSE in FP/AYSRH” for short), contains curriculum components to design, implement, and evaluate pre-service training. It offers essential, up-to-date resources for family planning and reproductive health instructors, like me; Ministries of Health and Education; and Directors of Schools of Nursing and Midwifery. The inclusive materials guide educators to actively involve students in the learning process through competency-based training methods, like role-plays.
E2A developed the TRP for PSE in FP/AYSRH based on experience helping educators—along with representatives of the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Council and Nursing and Midwifery Examination Board, Ministries of Health and Education, and the East, Southern, and Central Africa Health Community—to adapt materials from the original Training Resource Package for Family Planning (TRP). The adaptation contextualized the original TRP materials, first launched in 2012, to Uganda’s needs. The adapted TRP materials can be taught within the 40 hours allotted to the pre-service reproductive health course unit and are aligned with national standards.
During two workshops in 2016, the E2A Project guided us to examine the reproductive health course unit curricula critically and examine where global, evidence-based practices and standards could better be incorporated. We were then supported to develop a handy trainer’s reference guide. The guide includes session plans reflecting the updated course content. It also includes helpful materials like guidance on using competency-based training methods and skills checklists.
I have been a reproductive health trainer and teacher in Uganda for more than 30 years, and this is the first time that this type of content has become compulsory for nursing and midwifery students. It’s a big step forward for Ugandan women and girls.
I hope that other countries will use the TRP for PSE in FP/AYSRH to address gaps in providers’ capacity to provide quality, comprehensive reproductive health and family planning services. This would be a big step forward for meeting the reproductive healthcare needs of women and girls around the world.
This post was originally published on the Training Resource Package for Family Planning website. All materials in the original Training Resource Package for Family Planning are freely adaptable. E2A’s suite of materials includes a useful How-To Guide on the adaptation process itself. If you use or adapt TRP materials, we would very much appreciate it if you would email fptraining@k4health.org to tell us about your experience.

When The Prodigy’s The Fat of the Land became an unexpected smash during the late-’90s electronica boom, its combination of rave-worthy beats and punk-squat aggression seemed like an oddity in an otherwise blissed-out dance music scene. Nearly 20 years later, the album’s legacy runs deep throughout contemporary EDM that’s run wild with producer Liam Howlett’s fixation on distorted sounds and neck-snapping rhythms.
The group’s stayed active since then, even if the albums they were releasing didn’t have the same seismic effect on the zeitgeist. Their new LP, The Day Is My Enemy, stands to make more of an impression, not only because the retro cycle’s recently hit the electronica era but because it could be the most tightly focused album they’ve recorded since then. Featuring appearances by dubstep superstar Flux Pavilion and postmodern electro-punks Sleaford Mods, The Day Is My Enemy is a nasty piece of work that’s surprisingly catchy, and gets better and better on every listen.
EW got on the phone with Howlett recently to talk about the album and his opinion on where dance music is today.
It seems like you’ve spent your career reacting to the evolution of dance music. How’s this new record relate to where dance music is right now.
This record is very much a reaction to what’s going on musically around us, I guess. I felt it was important for electronic music to be more abrasive, and for electronic music to be represented by a band releasing an album rather than DJs. So we decided it would be important to carry on the tradition of making a rebel soundtrack. That’s what we do. We wanted to make a Prodigy record that we can play live, and this is the most band-oriented Prodigy album we’ve ever made.
As someone who’s been part of dance music culture from way back, what do you think of its current state?
You know, there’s good and bad in everything. I hear tracks that I really like, and I hear tracks that I really hate. I feel like I can say that about any type of music. I don’t know what’s happening in America, but in the U.K. and Europe, everything seems to have gone a bit soft. Basically we had the eruption of dubstep and that really gave a new sound and kind of new energy to everybody. I think at the moment everyone’s leaving it open for rock music to roll straight back in. One thing I will say, there are certain aspects of dance culture that people are taking the piss out of. We come from dance culture, we come from DJ culture, then I saw that Saturday Night Live skit about “When will the bass drop?” and it’s like, we feel like we have a right to talk about it. [But] I can dig through 10 EDM tracks and I’ll probably like a couple. My explanation is, someone like Jack White, who goes to beautiful extreme measures to make sure his guitar doesn’t sound like anyone else’s, that’s what we need injected back into electronic music. Not just people downloading EDM packs off the internet.
You mentioned earlier that you think this is the most band-like Prodigy record. Why is that?
Just because we were all present while we were making it. Basically the fact is this record was purely written to take to the stage. It wasn’t written for radio.
Ironically, for someone who’s had a couple of huge radio hits, you seem to have always kind of been about underground distribution, word of mouth, and working outside of the constraints of the music industry. What do you think of the way the internet’s changed how music gets around?
I think it’s really good. I like it now. I didn’t used to like it, but I kind of like… especially when people grab a song and remix it and doing their own thing with them. That’s really exciting. As far as labels go, we’re signed to an independent record label. It’s all about control, isn’t it? Having like nothing in the way of the original vision of what you want to do. A major record label wouldn’t like me. I would’ve been kicked off years ago. I’m not a pleaser.

4 Gods is the newest game from Christophe Boelinger, who has a number of game designs under his belt, and is probably best known for Archipelago, Earth Reborn and Dungeon Twister – all very different from each other. This new release continues to show the diversity of Mr. Boelinger’s creativity as 4 Gods feels different than his previous releases.
In this game, players act as Gods who as building a new world – filling it in from the edges. Though it doesn’t make sense thematically, they don’t know their identities at the start of the process, but as the world is being built, the players will choose which God they are – and then work to have the most and best influence over the new world.
At the start of the game, the board is made – a square frame made of jigsaw pieces. All of the two-sided world tiles are mixed in a bag, and each player draws two tiles to start the game. Each player sits on a side of the board, and there are ten spaces for discarded tiles at the edge of each side of the board. All the other pieces are placed near the board where everyone car reach them.
Place a tile – you start the game with two tiles, one in each hand. You can place a tile in the world so long as it touches two other edges (this can include the frame) and such that all the newly placed terrain matches all other tiles that it touches. Note that round city tiles do not count as edges.
Discard a tile – you can place a tile into the row of discards in front of you. You have space for 10 tiles on your side of the board.
Draw a tile from the bag – If both of your hands are free, you may take the bag and draw one or two tiles. You may not draw tiles if your discard row is full.
Flip a discarded tile – you can turn over a terrain tile in anyone’s discard row to see what is on the other side.
Draw a discarded tile – you can pick up a discarded tile from any edge on the board. However, once you pick it up, you must either play it OR discard it in your own discard row.
Choose a God – once during the game, you can choose one of the 4 Gods to represent in this game. You take the identity tile and box of prophets for that God. Once you have chosen a God, you can then placed prophets and build cities.
Placing a Prophet – assuming you have chosen an identity (and therefore have a box of prophet figures), you can now place a prophet on any terrain tile that you have just placed. It is placed on a specific terrain on that newly placed tile. You can choose any terrain shown on the tile. If your reserve is empty, you can move a previously placed prophet to your newly placed tile.
Building a Legendary City – There are 8 City tokens in the game, if you find a space which you think a valid tile cannot be built, you can place a City there – mark ownership with one of your prophet markers. The City must touch at least two straight edges from the frame or previously placed tiles. If the city survives until the end of the game, you will score points.
Destroying a Legendary City – If you find a tile which can be played legally in a space where there is a City tile – though not a City which you control – you play the tile and take the round City tile off the board. You keep the city tile as a scoring marker for the endgame.
Kingdoms – look at the terrain areas on the board, each contiguous area of a terrain type is considered a kingdom. The player or players who have the most prophets in a kingdom score 1VP for each tile in that kingdom which do not have a prophet standing on the same terrain. All prophets can be removed from the board once the kingdom is scored to show what has been scored already.
Largest Kingdoms – there are 4 terrains in the game, and each corresponds to one of the Gods. Each player finds the largest kingdom (in terms of tiles) of their terrain type – The largest/second/third number of tiles scores 15/10/5 VP.
Most Kingdoms – Now, each player counts the number of different distinct kingdoms in their terrain type. The player with the most/2nd/3rd in quantity scores 15/10/5 VP.
4 Gods is a frenetic game, with most of our games taking less than 20 minutes – in fact, it feels like it takes longer to explain the rules than it does to play it! As the game is played in real time, I try to make sure that everyone understands all the rules before we start because it’s really hard to stop in the middle of the game to explain things.
While playing the game, you also need to keep an eye out for pieces placed in error. If an error is spotted, you have to try to figure out who placed it so that it can be remedied. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen often because it can really screw up the game if a tile is placed incorrectly and then a bunch of other tiles are then placed off that wrong tile.
The board can get really crowded, and I’ll admit that it can get hard to see things when there are multiple hands reaching over the board – trying to place a tile on the far edge of the world, flipping tiles across the board, etc. Also, make sure that none of the gamers are wearing droopy sleeves or this can cause a severe earthquake!
Like most real time games, I find 4 Gods to be fragile. Everyone has to understand the rules, and unless you’re spending all your time watching what other players are doing (and therefore spending NO time looking at what you’re doing yourself), you never have a great feeling for what is happening. As I alluded to earlier, incorrectly placed tiles can be problematic. There are also awkward moments when two players want the same tile/city/god at the same time – and there isn’t really a good resolution system for this. We’ve chosen to rock-paper-scissors for any ties, but this also takes those players out of the game while they resolve the tie.
Real time usually means avoid for me, but quick real time is at least a blessing. The frenetic feel to the games is triggered as soon as real time is mentioned and Dale is right – you all have to know the rules to make the game work. even so, this means that people will make tile laying errors in their first game, but having played a few games now, these are quickly spotted. Once the initial frenzy is over there is time (really!) to assess the situation. As you seek a particular tile combination to destroy a city or play to link two areas, you do need to be focused to carry out this task. I like the fact that you can review other people’s tiles – that is unusual in a game and adds more opportunities to make a better move. As you can gather I am a fan, but I have played with some people who hate the pressure and will never, ever, ever, play again. So this game is a marmite game – love it or hate it in my experience so far.

Replied in Hand Held High Res - What a game changer!!
As far I understood the HH superresolution uses the hand shake to get the shifted images. So if used on a still support it should not work.
Maybe it is for people that already own a Full frame. I think is easier for them to buy the em1x than a panasonic ff.
Well, you are writing a lot of words not to explain it. Since it would be an important feature a couple of reviewers should have noticed it.
Replied in OM-D E-M5 Still Good Portable Option? Shutter Shock Etc?
I still use the E-m5, I can't find any serious reason to upgrade after I bought an Eye-fi card. You will appreciate it better if you can add a cheap fast prime (45mm f1. 8 or 20/25) or the 12 40 f2.8.
LiquidSilver has not added any gear yet.

Friends telephoned earlier in the week to ask if we'd like to join them for lunch and a demonstration of planting ideas for summer pots. Finding that their idea fitted nicely with plans we already had in place for later in the day, we didn't hesitate; of course we were up for some fun! It was a glorious morning as we drove through the Cotswolds to meet them for lunch at The Plough and being there a little early meant that we had time to slip into Daylesford for a loaf of bread (or two). For some reason, I wasn't quite in photo mood, so you'll have to imagine the scenes here and there and simply believe me when I tell you about our great lunch.
From there, it's a shortish drive to Whichford through a maze of narrow lanes which always demand utter reliance on the satnav. The villages in this part of the country are lovely - thatch roof cottages, delightful country churches and the most stunning views across open fields and yes, it was one of those days when it was good to be alive and able to appreciate just being here.
The demonstration was by Derry Watkins of Special Plants. Being neither passionate about plants or very knowledgeable about any aspect of gardening, my hero and I loved her presentation. Surely it must have been as fascinating for those around us who did know about these things as it was for us, who didn't! suffice to say, Derry inspired us to bring home a few plants for our pots and to make a special effort this year to be a little more imaginative than we usually are!
Needless to say, the pots in the Whichford garden were extraordinarily lovely and the tulips absolutely amazing. After a cup of tea in the midst of these beauties, we left our friends perusing the pots and my hero and I headed northwards, towards Birmingham.
We had tickets and our favourite seats awaited us in Symphony Hall.
On the programme were two Harold Lloyd Silent Classics - both with live accompaniment from the CBSO. Carl Davis has composed music for a vast number of silent movies and last night was to be the premiere performance of his score for The Freshman . There for this special occasion was none other than Harold Lloyd's granddaughter, Suzanne Lloyd.
First was High and Dizzy which was excruciating to watch at times, especially in the scene above where Harold walks drunkenly along that narrow ledge. Especially interesting was that Suzanne Lloyd had explained before the film began, that the heroine was none other than her Grandmother, Mildred Davis. Imagine being able to watch your Grandparents walking along that high ledge like that!
The second film, The Freshman tells the story of "a collegiate patsy who finds love and unwittingly becomes a football hero". I found this one rather more difficult to watch since it's a comedy of embarrassment from beginning to end and though of course all works out well, there are some awkward moments!

Su’umoli primary and community high school in Makira-Ulawa province has signed a grant contract last week, with the Embassy of Japan in Solomon Islands.
The project was signed last Thursday, for the construction of a double-story classroom building.
This building will accommodate about 6 classrooms.
According to the ambassador of Japan to Solomon Islands, His Excellency Shigeru Toyama, he was happy to announce that the people of Japan can assist in the third vital project in Makira-Ulawa province.
Mr Toyama added that the project is expected to improve the learning environment for the children of Su’umoli school.
Mr Toyama further stated that Japan is very aware that more than 85% of the population in Solomon Islands lived in rural areas and they required vital services such as health and education.
“So we believe that this project will have positive impacts on the development of human resources and strengthen further relationship between Japan and Solomon Islands,” he added.
Mr Toyama added that the government and people of Japan would like to congratulate the people of Makira and Ulawa province on official approval and it is a great honour for the people of Japan to contribute to the development for the people of Solomon Islands.
He stressed that the very day they signed the grant project is just the beginning for the people of Makira-Ulawa province, to start implementing this project properly.
“I do expect strong community commitment to the success of the project and I hope it will reach its successful completion in the near future,” said Mr Toyama.

SpaceX is all about reducing the cost of launching things into space, and right now one of those costs it think it can eliminate is having to use a new fairing every time it launches a rocket. The fairing is basically the shell at the top of the rocket that protects whatever cargo’s being launched (for instance, it housed the Tesla Roadster and SpaceX’s Starman mannequin during the recent Falcon Heavy test launch).
The fairing costs $6 million to produce, and so reusing it for multiple costs could lead to a significantly reduction in how much each launch individually costs SpaceX. SpaceX recovered a nose cone last year during a launch, but it has a new plan for fairing retrieval that should make it more repeatable and reliable to get these things back.
Enter “Mr. Steven,” essentially a large navigable platform ship, with extended ‘arms’ and a net strung between them. Teslarati’s Pauline Acalin snapped a photo of Mr. Steven docked on the California coast near Vandenberg Air Force Base, preparing to head out to sea to support the next Falcon 9 mission, PAZ, which includes imaging satellites for Spain as well as SpaceX’s own test satellites for its forthcoming broadband internet service.
That mission is currently set for February 21 (Wednesday this week) after a couple of delays; the goal will be to have the fairing return to Earth gently, assisted by geotagged parachutes that help guide it down to the Pacific Ocean, where Mr. Steven will navigate into its path, hopefully recovering the fairing as it gently touches down.
If SpaceX can make a habit of recovering and re-flying even half of its two-piece rocket fairing, it has a good chance of substantially reducing the per-launch cost of its missions. The estimated cost of the Falcon 9 launch is currently at around $63 million, assuming total expendable configuration, so cutting a potential $6 million from that total, on top of reusable booster benefits, could be significant.

Another pattern inspired by FlyFishFood.com. Very similar to their “Belly Scratcher Minnow”. You can follow the link to purchase the original version from Cheech and the gang. The signature feature of this fly is the tungsten weights tied to the belly that make the fly ride hook point up. This is a very useful technique that allows you to tie in various amounts of weight without using lead eyes. You can expect more sink than the “Neutral Minnow” because of this weight, but it will be both a subtle and level drop, instead of the jigging motion of a front weighted fly. Although this pattern is effective in still water, I prefer it in rivers as a strong pattern for both trout and smallmouth. For now I am offering it in three color combinations, but the options are endless. The almost neutral buoyancy of this fly is what gives it the lifelike movement of a bait fish. They don’t look like much when they are dry, but get them wet and you will see what the fish like about this tasty meal.
I tie this pattern primarily on tubes. I use a fair amount of ostrich plumes and a composite flash hackle for the body and under wing. Then I tie in a magnum rabbit strip and make a dubbing head using FlyFishFood’s Bruiser blend.
All tube flies include an appropriate sized hook.

Cloud Fax | Is It The Best for Your Business?
→Why Use a Cloud Faxing Solution for Your Company?
Why Use a Cloud Faxing Solution for Your Company?
There are many advantages of moving your business infrastructure to the cloud, especially for big companies, which sometimes can’t handle hosting every single one of their process on their own servers.
Although it can prove to be a challenge to move all your process to cloud-based alternatives, it’s better to start with areas that are easy to move and that will provide immediate benefits. One of this areas is faxing.
If you receive a big number of faxes regularly, using fax machines can prove to be the factor that is holding your communications’ speed down. Even though many companies have already switched to online fax, they use an in-house solution for it, which means they require their own fax servers and IT team.
Moving to a cloud online fax service on the other hand give you the same benefits of an in-house solution without the hassle of purchasing servers and server warranties, or requiring more physical storage. What’s better, making the jump to cloud service is easy and safe.
This is a service that allows you to both send and receive faxes online without the need of a fax machine or physical fax line. Instead, faxing is done through an online portal or through email, while retaining full compatibility with fax machines.
Instead of using your servers, you are using your provider’s fax servers for the job. It’s on those servers where all the conversion process will take place. These services are also able to give you an online fax number or numbers depending on the needs of your company. This number can be linked to multiple email recipients at the same time.
It’s a reliable way of faxing. The leading online fax providers in the World are able to provide a fax experience free of interruptions and server misconfigurations. They also automate many of the tasks such as receiving faxes, scheduling faxes, and re-trying to send a fax. You can rest assured all your faxes will be sent and received.
It’s more affordable. Implementing an in-house fax solution can be pretty costly. With a cloud fax service you only need to have an Internet connection. Another thing to mention is that all your documents will be digital, so you’ll save the cost of printing them and storing them physically.
It’s secure. Countless companies prefer to use faxing over other popular methods because it is simple and it safe. Once you send the fax contents, you can rest assured they have reached its correct destination because you always get a confirmation message. Well, you can retain that same level of security with cloud faxing, and add more. Services provide security features such as HIPAA compliant fax, point-to-point encryption, password protected PDFs and more.
It’s customizable and scalable. Services provide different plans based on the amount of faxes you send and receive per month. Choosing a plan that fits your needs is very important. But what happens if your needs increase? Well it’s a s easy as changing your monthly plan, just head to your service and ask for an upgrade.
In case none of the plans fits the needs of your company, you can always request a customizable one. Top rated services have “enterprise” or “corporate” plans for big companies with special needs.
It’s easy to implement. An online fax solution is ready to be used in just a matter of minutes. Even if you have an existing fax number, you can easily transfer it to a cloud fax service through a “fax number porting” process.
It’s easily accessible. You can enjoy of different ways to both send and receive faxes: using your email, your desktop computer and even your phone or tablet.
In addition, all incoming faxes are received as PDFs, a file format that is able to show images and text, doesn’t weight too much, and what’s best can be read on any computer, phone or tablet. There’s always a way to read PDFs for free, but you can also login to Gmail and read your faxes directly from the preview screen.
Fax API. In some cases companies are allowed to use their API key to integrate the cloud-based fax infrastructure to their current software, system or applications.
Improves workflow. This way of faxing is much faster than the traditional method of using a fax machine. Once you press Send, all the magic takes place inside the powerful fax servers that are able to communicate with other fax machines.
Cloud storage. Both outgoing and incoming faxes are stored in secure cloud servers. This means that you and anyone with authorized login credentials can have access to them, without having to use a single computer. Most services offer unlimited storage for small businesses, but if you own a big company you may need extra space.
As an option you can integrate fax with cloud-storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox and Box to keep a backup of your online fax data. Google Drive gives you 15GB of free virtual hard drive space, but you can increase ti according to the needs of your business for a fee.
Online faxing gives you the perfect way to start using cloud-based solutions for your company. If you care about portability, reliability, security and scalability then you should start looking for good company that takes care of faxing for you.

Have you ever wondered what a commercial property management company does? Or better yet, what they should be doing?
If you’re asking either question and reading this article, then it’s safe to say you probably own commercial real estate or are considering purchasing commercial investment property. The answer to this question is simple, “Whatever you want them to do”. Ok, it’s not that simple. Practically speaking, the range of service varies quite a bit from company to company, depending on who you speak with. However, there are some basics that are essential and necessary regardless of your reason for needing or wanting professional property management. In this article you will find the answers to what you should expect from a commercial property management company.
Reporting– Monthly accounting reports that include, a balance sheet, income & expense statement, general ledger, rent-roll, rent ledger, expense ledger and a copy of the bank statement are the basics. There are various other reports you may want or need depending on the property and ownership type. For instance, with a self-storage property you will want in addition to the above, a copy of the audit and daily deposit report.
Narrative Report– This is a narrative monthly summary of exceptions in the budget, income and expenses or any unusual activity on your property, this report should be prepared by the property manager responsible for your property.
Collections (AR – Accounts Receivable) – Collecting rents and other monies owed. This function is generally considered an accounting function, until the point there is a problem (which is quite frequent these days). You will want a company that has a clearly defined process and system of responsibilities when it comes to collections, ask them, Who? – who will do what in the collection process. What? – what will be done. When? – when will it be done.
Payments (AP – Accounts Payable)– Now that they have collected your money, you will want them to pay the bills. Again, you will want them to clearly define, Who, What and When this will occur. You may want to define for the accounting staff the details on payment of your expenses, including when and how much to disburse to you, as well as other details such as reserves for taxes, insurance or capital improvements.
Lease Processing – This task is generally a group effort, with a defined patterned or specific routing to a number of people within the company, including the accounts receivable department and property manager. Each has a specific function and items they are looking for. However, one person generally inputs the lease into the computer. This part of the process is extremely important, as a missed date or dollar amount could result in serious repercussions down the road. Detail and a process that includes multiple layers of people checking the input process is Key.
The Property Manager – This person is “One” of the focal points by which you make your decision on whether you hire a company or not. The property manager is the person that will make the critical day-to-day decisions that go into operating a property. Their responsibilities include – relationships with your Tenants and Vendors, physical condition of your property, oversight of the collection process, payment of bills, budgeting, lease administration, monthly reporting, generally all aspects of the operation of your commercial real estate. Most importantly they will be your contact and source of information about your real estate investment. Make sure you feel completely comfortable with this person and their abilities.
Well, those are the basics of What a Commercial Property Management Company Does – remember you have a choices and your choice on the company that manages your commercial asset has a profound impact on the success of your commercial real estate investment.

Does anyone dehydrate their own meals for hiking? What kind of dehydrator do you use? What are some foods to avoid? What are some of your favorites?
Just wondering because I just ordered an Excalibur dehydrator and am looking for recipes for backpacking foods.
Chili, beef stew, various casseroles are what I typically dehydrate.
Thanks for the input! I have a feeling I am going to be developing a lot of my own recipes. I like to cook and experiment with food so it will be fun.
After these you will be creating your own recipes!
I have an excalibur, very fine dehydrator. Assuming you bought it new, it will come with a recipe book and great tips on how to dehydrate. I don't have recipes; I just dehydrate all types of veggies/fruits and meats. The closest thing I got to recipes are the concoctions I put together for marinades, (but I don't write them down) which can enhance the taste greatly.
However, I don’t marinade much of the stuff for a long hike (only for stuff I do for home), because I just got too much stuff to mess with marinades. Of course this doesn’t include meat/poultry -- ALWAYS MARINADE MEAT/POULTRY -- marinades are an important process to ensure the meat stays bacteria free.
Lean ground beef, browned, drained, rinsed (yeah, rinsed), dehydrated. Packs light, rehydrates wonderfully, and works in so many trail meals - ramens, mac & cheeze, potatoes, everything.
For meat, lean ground beef works real well. Just cook it up drain it and put in in the dehydrator. I have a Nesco with the 'fruit roll up trays" they are solid so nothing falls through the tray. When drying stuff one way to have a better chance at being successful is to dry food with low fat content, the higher the fat content the better chance at it going rancid. Don't add butter or oils to the foods and always get the leanest meat available. Beans, corn, peas, work well. You can put them in right out of the bag if you buy them frozen. Dry these items separately and you can add them to supplement store bought foods on a hike.
You will find lots of backpacking recipes using dehydrated ingredients on my website. I use an Excalibur Dehydrator.
You guys are great! Thanks for all of the tips, my dehydrator will be here tomorrow! I will definitely check out backingchef.com.
In a dehydrator, which is a machine that removes all the hydro (water) from the food. You can buy these or make them. My grandmother used to make dehydrated foods by putting the food between screens and putting them out in the hot sun. We have a Sunbeam, which works great.
Thanks for the plug Russ. While I do really like my own book, the other that you posted, Backpack Gourmet, is a wonderful resource as well.
If the original poster has any questions I'd be more than happy to help.
Thanks LauriAnn, I may just buy both books, I have been dehydrating all kinds of food! What great fun! I just discovered how stinky it is to try and dehydrate broccoli!!!!
On an impulse, I bought an Oster brand food dehydrator when I was in Wal-Mart one day. It only cost me a mere $40, and is pretty much bargain basement special.... but I'll have to say, I'm pretty glad I bought it.
I was thinking about getting a better one like the Excalibur, but then decided that I want to maybe build my own, as I am looking to "stockpile" dehydrated food in mass quantities for when I live "off the grid." But for the time being, my cheap little Oster brand is good for experimentation purposes.
Here is a decent YouTube channe (http://www.youtube.com/dehydrate2store) which specializes in instructing people on the art and science of food dehydrating.
Thusfar, I have only experimented making "soup mixes," dehydrated chili, as well as a beef/turkey stew kind of thing with some combination of noodles and "one minute" rice. I used a variety of freeze dried meats from the different freeze dried food suppliers combined with dried gravy packets (and dried chili packets for the chili) which you can get at just about any supermarket (McCormicks brand 'seasoning mixes,' or there is usually also a 'store' brand of these things, for about $89 cents apiece.
. I have not tried dehydrating the meat yet myself. Kind of afraid to leave meat exposed on the counter in the machine for 24 hours... afraid it might pick up bacteria from sitting there.... but I'll experiment with that later.
Dehydrating jerky is simple. To ease your fear of the meat getting contaminated try this method that I use.
1) Top shelf London Broil meat, Its low in fat.
3) Mix in w/ your jerky mix over night.
4) Place on cookie sheet and bake @ 350* for only ten min. in your home oven. Blot off dry w/ paper towel.
No risk of spoiling because they were allready cooked in the oven.
Oh-oh !! I'm new to dehydrating too- do you have to first cook the meat conventionally (10 mins. in 350 degree oven) ? Made jerky just a few times and didn't cook it previously, but kept it in a 'fridge after I jerkyed it as we tested (munched on) it.
When you purchase a dehydrator they usually come with a "cookbook", many of which recommend that you pre-cook (or sometimes post-cook) the meat, especially poultry. I never do (start dehydration with completly raw meat/poultry) and I don't refrigerate nor do I vacuum seal. I just keep in a dark cool space and have eaten chicken jerky that was about a year-old.
However, the marinade process (with ample amount of salt), IMHO, is cruicial to keeping bacteria growth under control. No matter how lean, most meat has some fat, which will liquify during the dehydration process and you can blot away with a napkin. However, not all fat will melt away, to do this one would have to over-dehydrate the meat, devoiding it of most of its nutritional value.
I have a certain chili recipe I make which uses a can of Bush baked beans (different flavors), and I'm looking to see if I can make a dehydrated version of my concoction for use on the trails. Most of the other ingredients in my chili I can dehydrate no problem..... but the can of beans.... I need to figure out how to do that. It's not the beans, obviously.... those are easy to dehydrate.... but its specifically the tasty liquid in the can of beans that I need to dehydrate.
I was thinking about maybe separating the beans from the juice, dehydrating the beans as normal in my dehydrator.... and then putting the liquid from the can spread out on a tray in my oven.... with the door partially open to let the moisture escape... and then seeing if I can turn all that liquid into some kind of..... whatever.... some kind of dried out substance like a Fruit roll up.... where I can just add the water back to it later to reconstitute the sauce.
Same question I have for tomato sauce..... I reckon if anyone knows how to dehydrate tomato sauce, it would probably be the same as dehydrating the liquid in the can of beans.
I'll be using the food dehydrator specifically in drying veggies and fruits. I find my Excalibur works perfectly for me. After experimenting for some time with dehydrated foods, I've discovered that outside of dried fruits/veggies, crackers & onion bread, I don't put it to much use, so a 4-trayer is ideal. None of them compare to the Excaliber. Well worth it.
I can never get celery to reconstitute to it's original shape. This is beginning to irritate me. It's a small nitpick, but it's bugging me.
I have not tried enough kinds of vegetables to see which other ones don't reconstitute properly, but I have tried celery multiple times, using different blanching lengths and times... and it always reconstitutes basically "flat." It doesn't regain its curved shape, like it originally had. It also tends to be stringier too, in taste, but that bugs me less than the shape.
Corn and carrots seem to reconstitute to almost identical their original shape.... but celery.... grrrr.... I am now resigned to the fact that I shall just have to supplement my dehydrated celery with freeze dried celery which is much more expensive. The freeze dried stuff should retain the same shape, since it's not as shriveled up as dehydrated food, and resembles more the original look.
I tried many veggie dishes, I have not tried to dehydrate noodle/pasta since I wasn't sure if they would dry properly or not. I have stayed away from meats since I tend to buy the cheap stuff and know they have more fat then the leaner stuff.
I do have some precooked ham I going to try and dehydrate and make my own bean/ham/tater soup.
Fruits no problem,Right now dehydrating water melon and see how they turned out. Bannana chips and apple chips are awesome with some walnuts/pecans.
I want to try Yogurt,but not sure how to properly do it right.

Years ago I read a story by a well known Pastor that really caught my attention. For the last several years he had been regularly seeking the advice of an older pastor who was acting as his spiritual director. Through interaction with this older pastor he was adding depth and intimacy to his personal relationship with Jesus.
With the older man’s advice he had added a number of spiritual practices such as Lectio Divina to his daily routine. Recently he had taken a position at one of the largest churches in the United States. After the first few months of adjustment he decided to call his spiritual director. He was excited to share all the new things God was doing in his life.
I’ve thought a lot about that story over the years. Most of my life, I have prided myself on always working hard and accomplishing as much or more than those around me. I have tried to fill up every waking moment with something important. If possible I try to be doing something important whenever I am stuck in a situation that might be wasting time. I want to go through the shortest line, and drive in the fastest lane on the road.
The older I get, the more I realize that doing things quickly and running on adrenaline is a hinderance to experiencing God’s presence and hearing God’s voice. In order to have a quality time hearing what God wants to say to me I have to s l o w w a y d o w n .
The next time you set out to meditate on Scripture, try taking five or six minutes to just be quite in God’s presence. Take two or three deep breaths, and let them completely out. Sit comfortably, and be sure to relax all your muscles. I find that often I am tense without even realizing it. Invite the Holy Spirit to come and rest upon you . . . to come and open your understanding of God’s Word . . . to speak to you those things that Jesus wants to say to you.
This is so relevant to our lives today. Thanks for this Rick!God bless you!

MAN!!!....I know the T.V. is full of shows about dysfunctional families, but I did not know the left held so much contempt for their children, and grandchildrens future. Oh' well....You folks on the left spend too much time trying to destroy yet another conservatives character, and reputation. Only way to win an election. Cannot do it on the cornerstone of left wing leadership. What an oxymoron; left wing/leadership.
COOL! Someone is finally writting here about the tens of thousands of military votes that were not counted this last election. No wait! Darn!

On September 7th 2014, the public works authority of the state of Qatar officially took ownership of the PS70 facilities located in Northern Doha.
The construction of the largest sewage pumping facilities in the Middle East with an estimated 680 000 m3 capacity per day, was awarded in 2009 by Ashgal to a joint venture between QDVC, VCGP and Entreprose projects, both subsidiaries of VINCI group.
This was a milestone for QDVC as it was celebrating a successful venture and completing its first hydraulic project in Qatar.
This turn-key contract consisted of the design, construction, commissioning and start-up of a screen chamber, a lifting pumping station, an export pumping station along with power and control systems. In addition, 45 km of 1600 mm diam ductile iron pipes were laid as part of the Project.
The pumping station was part of a broader infrastructure project including underground collecting sewers, sewage treatment plant and treated water pumping stations executed by other contractors for Ashghal.

French automaker Peugeot wants to be more than a car manufacturer in the self-driving future. It wants to be your coach, therapist, and butler, all rolled into one.
At least, that is what Peugeot’s Instinct concept car is trying to achieve.
See Also: Getting good self-driving road manners from…the Swiss?
Unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona last week and in more detail at the Geneva Motor Show today, Instinct is Peugeot’s big step into the technology market. The car, if fully realised, may be able to compete with Amazon, FitStar, and Google.
Peugeot has said it will develop four different driving modes for the car: drive boost, drive relax, autonomous soft, and autonomous sharp. We are still short on details, but the automaker said each mode would provide a different experience for the driver.
What’s interesting is the way Peugeot goes about choosing the mode. Instead of the driver simply pressing one of the four available, it will use Samsung’s Atrik service to check all connected devices and figure out what mood the driver is in.
One example of this, for autonomous soft, is checking the driver’s heart rate to see if they have had a stressful day. Peugeot is also able to check connected devices like a fridge and tell the driver that they need to purchase more milk.
All of the interior changes depending on the mode, according to Peugeot. It introduced this feature last year, called the i-Cockpit interior, which folds the steering wheel and control panel when it goes into an autonomous mode.
Peugeot is one of the few automakers focused on providing both a driver and driverless experience in the future. Ford has already said it will skip Level 3 autonomy to build a fully driverless car quicker, and GM might be planning a similar route.
Evidently, Peugeot does not see drivers moving to a fully driverless experience anytime soon. Instead, the subsidiary of PSA Group expects drivers to want control and the ability to tune out to both be available in cars of the future.
The Instinct concept is still quite far away from being realized and unlike other automakers, it requires IoT devices finding a common connectivity platform, consumers purchasing more devices, and sharing more information with these devices.

The Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR) led ASPIRE. Each of the six consortium state had (1) a “lead agency” with which USOR contracted to implement the program statewide and (2) its own ASPIRE site coordinator who managed all aspects of program service delivery in that state. The lead agencies each had agreements with other agencies in their respective states to provide guidance and support to the program at the state level. ASPIRE intended to use case management to connect youth and their families to four ASPIRE core interventions, which were typically provided by subcontractors located in each state that had provided the same or similar services before participating in ASPIRE: (1) benefits counseling, (2) financial education, (3) training and information for parents and guardians, and (4) self-determination training. Additionally, case managers were responsible for connecting youth to career exploration activities and work-based learning experiences, as well as educational services.
ASPIRE enrolled 2,051 youth in the evaluation of the program, 1,033 of whom were assigned to the treatment group. Three years into program operations, ASPIRE had engaged 86 percent of treatment group youth as participants in the program, but was lagging in its goal to deliver intensive case management to them. By design, case managers were supposed to meet with participating families in person for at least 30 minutes once per month. In practice, case managers met face to face with families in just under half of all months between intake and October 2017, on average. Most case management contacts were under 20 minutes in duration and occurred by telephone. The program had met one of its two goals for providing career exploration and work opportunities to youth; ASPIRE anticipated that least 30 percent of youth age 16 and older would have a paid work experience by the third year of program operations (31 percent actually did) and that 95 percent of youth would engage in career exploration activities during each year of enrollment (51 percent actually did). About one-third of participating families had received parent training and information services. About one-quarter of participating families had received financial education. The program also intended to deliver self-determination training to 95 percent of participating youth within their first year of enrollment and benefits counseling to 80 percent of participating families with youth for whom employment or age 18 was imminent. By the end of the third year of program operations, about half of youth and families had met these benchmarks. Progress toward service delivery benchmarks was consistently lower in Arizona, the state with the largest share of enrollees.
The lead agencies in the consortium states formally partnered with 36 organizations to deliver ASPIRE services in addition to those organizations that served on the states’ advisory committees. The findings of a network analysis of three states—North Dakota, Colorado, and Utah—indicated that both the administrators and frontline staff of ASPIRE partner organizations increased the amount of contact and the number and types of collaborations with their fellow ASPIRE partners as program implementation progressed. ASPIRE held semiannual multiday trainings for program staff from all of the states to foster networking across the states and peer-to-peer sharing of best practices. In addition, ASPIRE leadership within USOR provided oversight, support, and training. It was ultimately the responsibility of each state’s lead agency and site coordinator, however, to ensure that case managers could navigate their unique state systems and that the program delivered services consistent with its model. The process analysis suggests that the states’ success in these areas varied.
Youth in the evaluation’s control group were not able to access case management or any specific intervention services through ASPIRE. Because ASPIRE leveraged existing programs and providers for most of its services (with the exception of youth self-determination training), however, in principle, control group youth had access to many of the same services to which case managers referred treatment group youth. Changes that occurred as a result of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act may have increased opportunities for control group youth to receive such services. In some of the consortium states, career exploration activities and self-determination training became more readily available to youth, and new partnerships between vocational rehabilitation agencies and schools in some states may have increased the likelihood that youth would be connected to these services. By October 2017, the consortium states varied in how much information they were providing to families about new or enhanced services, and how far they had progressed in planning and implementing them. For states further along, the contrast between the experiences of treatment and control group youth may have been diluted, having implications for the ability of the evaluation to detect program impacts.
PROMISE—Promoting Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income (SSI)—was a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of Education (ED), the Social Security Administration (SSA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Department of Labor to fund and evaluate programs to promote positive changes in the lives of youth who were receiving SSI and their families. Under cooperative agreements with ED, six entities across 11 states enrolled SSI youth ages 14 through 16 and implemented demonstration programs intended to (1) provide educational, vocational, and other services to youth and their families and (2) make better use of existing resources by improving service coordination among state and local agencies. Under contract to SSA, Mathematica Policy Research is evaluating how the programs were implemented and operated, their impacts on SSI payments and education and employment outcomes for youth and their families (using an experimental design under which we randomly assigned youth to treatment or control groups), and their cost-effectiveness.
In this report, we present findings from the process analysis of the first three years of the implementation and operation of the Achieving Success by Promoting Readiness for Education and Employment (ASPIRE) program, which operated in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Utah. The findings are based on data collected through October 2017 via site visits to ASPIRE, telephone interviews with and social network surveys of program administrators and staff, and the management information system that the program’s staff used to record their efforts. The report describes how ASPIRE engaged with youth, the services the program provided to them and their families, and the collaborations the program fostered to support its efforts. It also highlights information about the experiences of control group youth that could have implications for the evaluation’s impact analysis.

"On May 15, the independent contemporary worship music artist Ruskin Clay released his newest collection of songs, an eclectic record entitled ‘Come Thou Fount and Other Hymns.’ Chock-full of guest appearances from a variety of friends and family, the album can be found under ‘Ruskin and Friends’ on all major digital music streaming and download platforms, including iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby. Classics like ‘Are You Washed in the Blood of the Lamb’ and ‘In the Garden’ are amongst a bevy of extraordinary hymns that Clay chose for his newest effort.
Living in Mississippi with a wife and two children, the artist has an accredited Masters in Theology. To that end, he is now pursuing a PhD in Practical Theology, all while working as a pastor and contemporary worship recording artist. Just like any other art form, faith-based musical endeavors require a very crucial key to success: authenticity. That, of course, is something Clay and company bring to this new album in spades.
‘Come Though Fount and Other Hymns’ is a journey through honest, beautifully performed worship unlike anything else in the independent music scene right now. Thus, it’s a must-listen for any fan of the genre. This new album also boasts an impressive sonic palette. Utilizing instruments like the dulcimer, dobro, and banjo alongside more well-known instruments like guitar, piano, and violin, Clay and his collaborators give each song on the record its own unique style. Though the hymns are true to their traditional melodies in this collection, the music takes creative liberty via an array of splendidly surprising instrumental twists along the way.

A NATIONAL childrens' charity has moved to remove one of its workers who was seeking personal information from CQ home-owners.
The door to door charity worker, who was later confirmed to be a Smith Family charity representative, reportedly visited several residents in Rockhampton, Gracemere and the Capricorn Coast.
Rockhampton local Renee Cox posted on the 'Yeppoon Families' Facebook page about the suspicious interaction she had with the worker on Wednesday.
"The representative came across very genuine, had a photo ID etcetera, wasn't asking for donations but was wanting my licence number and digits to my credit card,” Ms Cox posted online.
When Ms Cox declined to give out her personal information, the young man took back a pamphlet he had given her.
"I then said 'can I look up the website?' and he said that it would be national not local,” she wrote.
The Smith Family is a children's charity that helps disadvantaged Australian children get the most out of their education, through different learning programs.
Ms Cox's post attracted more than 30 comments in the first four hours, with many people detailing their own experiences with the suspect door-knocking man.
"He was at my front door [Wednesday] afternoon,” Nicole Stephens commented.
The Smith Family general manager, Alan Le May, said the worker had been located and removed from the campaign.
"The Smith Family has identified the person involved in the incidents advised by Rockhampton News to The Smith Family.
"The person has been removed from the fundraising campaign."
The Smith Family also announced it would be retraining all representatives to highlight the importance of adhering to its code of conduct.
From today, there will be no more representatives working in the Rockhampton area.
”Our approved process requires door-to-door representatives to immediately identify themselves and display their credentials,” Mr Le May said.
