With one full year under their belts, Bluegrass Yakmasters are back and ready to start their tournament series once again with a big bass showdown at Cedar Creek Lake in Stanford, KY. Last year it took well over 50” to crack the Top Five at Cedar. If that doesn’t get you excited enough, then maybe the chance to win a raffled kayak from HOOK1 will do the trick!
Bluegrass Yakmasters will open the 2014 tournament season at Cedar Creek Lake in Stanford - Kentucky’s premier trophy largemouth lake. This 784-acre lake was built with the specific goal of providing a trophy bass lake to anglers of all kinds. The reservoir is closely managed by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) and was engineered to provide the best quality fishing and habitat to produce trophy fish. Despite having been filled only a little over ten years ago, the lake is already producing near state record-sized largemouth bass, with some weighing 9+lbs already having been pulled from its waters. There has even been word from the KDFWR that a couple of largemouth close to 15lbs were measured during their most recent survey.
Cedar Creek Lake offers a wide variety of fishing structure and habitat, almost to the point of being overwhelming to first-time visitors. The average depth of the lake is about 22’ with the deepest point reaching almost 60’. Standing timber can be found around most of the lake, both directly against the bank and at deeper depths. A large rock dam is located along the most northern part of the lake. Man-made structure, consisting of anchored down trees, packaging tarps, and cement-filled buckets with 5’ sticks protruding from them, blankets many of the shallower areas that didn’t already have natural cover. There are no private docks on the lake, as there’s a 300’ buffer zone surrounding the lake to prevent private land encroachment problems. With five ramps/access points, kayakers can easily reach almost every nook and cranny that Cedar has to offer.
After an outstanding inaugural 2013 season that saw BGYM average over thirty anglers per event over an eight-event tournament slate, we have lined up what looks to be an even more exciting program this year. Last year’s Open at Cedar Creek Lake drew seventy five anglers and was a huge success, with Randy Collins of Lexington coming away with the win. Randy’s three-fish total of 59.75” edged out second and third place by a mere .25” and earned Randy a $1000 payout. With the Top Five anglers all well over 50” and with five fish caught over 20” at last year’s event, there’s a good chance you may bag an all-time personal best at this tournament. There have been several fish caught well over the 20”mark already this spring, and warmer water is only going to raise expectations for the April 5 event.
This year at Cedar Creek we will once again be raffling off a fishing kayak donated by HOOK1 to one lucky person in attendance. While anyone is eligible to fish in BGYM tournaments in 2014, membership in Bluegrass Yakmasters does have its benefits. Only BGYM members who enter a BGYM tournament will be eligible for prize drawings held at the conclusion of each tournament. All sponsor prizes are to be given away by drawing this year; you do not need to "place" in a tournament to win prizes. Every member who enters a tournament has an equal chance at such great prizes as: HOOK1 swag, Shimano Rods, NRS Chinook PFDs and Tailwater bags, gift certificates from Benchmark and Canoe Kentucky, Rod Glove rod protectors, a Bending Branches paddle, Rod Wraps, Backwater Paddles, lures from Cabin Creek Baits, Slickhead Baits, Beaver Creek Custom Lures, and FINS braid A Hobie “Outback” from Hobie & Quest Outdoors will be given away at the Guist Creek Lake event, and another kayak from HOOK1 will be given away at our final event at Green River Lake in October!

Great article Tim, this is going to be a can't miss event.

“The report of my death was an exaggeration,” wrote Mark Twain.
In recent months, much discussion has ensued about the value of the travel management company RFP and its future place, if any, in the TMC sourcing process. Are TMC RFPs outdated and antiquated in thought and approach? Some may say yes and offer up seemingly new methods of evaluation: short-listing based on consultant recommendations, culture- and value-alignment reviews and face-to-face interviews and discussions.
Technology, service configuration, fulfillment and integration with microservices vary greatly from supplier to supplier. Documented, formalized evaluation methodologies and criteria help identify optimal solutions and relevant services for the buyer. These methodologies and criteria, often documented within the RFP, also help parties build agreements during the process. Buyers know that the worst place for all concerned is working out differences near the end of the process, when contracts are negotiated—or worse, at time of implementation. All parties, including the travel buyer’s senior management, can lose confidence in the process and the chosen supplier, often creating an unsurmountable obstacle as the relationship begins.
Travel buyers will require additional hard validation of supplier offerings. Bleeding edge services are valued only once proven, not when they’re still promises. Innovative service centers, newly deployed technology, artificial intelligence capabilities, third-party integrations, customized client reporting and next-level metrics will be most welcome, but only if they’re actually deployed and creating real value. Proof here requires documentation, not just discussion. Travel buyers both will increase their reliance on the reference process and will integrate key deliverables into the mutually decided upon service level agreements. The proliferation of new service models will offer opportunities beyond travel 101 but only if actually realized.
In the near future, travel buyers will judge the organizational similarities between their own companies and their suppliers as never before. Evaluation of the supplier’s soft offerings will be formalized. Corporate responsibility including diversity, philanthropy, community service and green initiatives, to name a few, will be included objectively in the overall review. Suppliers will need to prove claims about their culture, beyond their website missions and value statements. Travel buyers will want specifics, and the RFP will evolve to address this to document that suppliers are who they say they are. Things can and occasionally do go wrong. Recovery, readjustment and restoration are most effective with aligned buyer/supplier values.
Sourcing will always be a blend of face-to-face collaboration and formal documentation, and the RFP will evolve and play its role here. Suppliers will continue to prefer in-person meetings and discussions with travel buyers, creating more space in their processes to accommodate those requested interactions. Mature programs will continue to formalize their review processes: to document agreements, provide objective and quantifiable evaluative review and create manageable understandings of complex offerings, all in order to lead to a well-reasoned business decision.

The government is looking to hire over 3,000 people.
(CNN Philippines) — Get your resumes ready, the government is looking to fill 3,320 vacancies in five government offices.
A report from the Department of Finance (DOF) said they, along with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Department of Transportation (DOT) and Communication (DOTC), and the Department of Tourism (DOT) have posted the vacanices to "radically open up and widen the reach of government recruitment and to invite more young Filipinos to join the civil service."
The DOF report said the vacancies were posted on Kalibrr.com, an online jobs matching site.
DOF Sec. Cesar Purisima called out to young Filipinos saying: "Your country needs you. We hope that you respond to this call to service."
The report adds, "Of the 3,320 vacancies, 3,211 entry-level positions are from the BIR, 41 positions from the DOF, 31 positions from the DBM, 33 positions from the DOTC, and 4 positions from the DOT."

Coming at the end of a sub-par arc, this issue feels like something of a return to form for X-Factor. The book’s speciality is placing relatively conventional X-Men plots in a more realistic setting, and Peter David imbues the story with a real sense of pace as Mutant Town collapses in the aftermath of Arcade’s appearance. The adjustment that the writer makes to his team’s status quo here is one of the most obvious that could be implemented; yet his constant fake-outs and red herrings make the result feel like anything but a foregone conclusion.
It’s a misunderstanding to say that X-Factor has been derailed by its eagerness to participate in Marvel’s crossovers. In part, the concept seemed tailor-made to show such events form a different perspective. The book managed to thrive during its Civil War story, providing an interesting street-level look at the conflict, but the hasty curtailment of its Huber arc in time for Messiah Complex left a bad taste in the mouth. What sets this issue above its immediate predecessors, in addition to some superlative art from Valentine De Landro, is the way David allows Jamie some victories, however fleeting. The bleakness of the present story, with Mutant Town burning and Madrox overcome by despair, felt slightly odd when placed alongside the comedy that has always characterised the book. The easier tone here is a great relief. Another part of this success is the resolution of the slightly forced grievances between the cast members, and the appearance of a familiar face. The manner of Layla Miller’s partial return to the book should irritate, but the sheer check of David’s approach eventually wins the reader over. Her new status as Madrox’s imaginary friend allows the reader to enjoy some of David’s sharpest dialogue, and allows us to hear the main character’s thoughts without the sometimes-clunky use of narration.
A slight fly in the ointment is the confirmation that Val Cooper will be an ongoing part of the book’s furniture. Despite her longevity, she’s a character who has acquired remarkably little depth, and the sheer number of anti-mutant bigots she’s worked with makes it hard to accept her claims a responsible approach to mutant affairs at face value. David uses this in an excellent gag during her first meeting with Rictor, and it’ll be interesting to see if the writer is finally able to imbue her with a more rounded personality. The final page makes explicit her role in X-Factor’s pseudo-noir world. She’s the all-powerful mob boss, whose dirty work the team will occasionally have to do to stay in business. The agency’s relocation to Detroit gives a strong feeling that David has finished his adjustments, taking the strongest elements of the concept’s original incarnation, and transplanting them to a setting more compatible with the X-Franchise’s new direction.

He's currently in the office working on 21:9 support.
There's been a bit of confusion recently about No Man's Sky's PC release date. While the official site was updated to state that it will launch globally on PC on the 12th, Steam has been counting down to the 9th. Our requests for clarity went unanswered, with developer Hello Games telling us it's "overwhelmed" at the moment.
Today, however, Sean Murray clarified on Twitter that the official site has the correct release date, not the Steam store page.
As for why Hello Games has been so busy in the lead up to the launch, Murray provides an example. "I'm here tonight adding support for 21:9 monitors," he tweeted. "We don't even have one. I've stuck some cardboard to the side of mine ¯\_(シ)_/¯"
It's a little odd to think of Hello Games as a small indie developer grinding away with few resources and also the creator of one of the year's most anticipated games, with Sony backing its marketing—but that's the apparent situation.
A few PS4 copies are already in the hands of the public and press thanks to some retailers breaking street date. However, they don't include the patch Murray wants players and reviewers to wait for. As soon as we have a copy, we plan to play No Man's Sky on PS4 to provide you with impressions next week (it's the best we can do), and we'll switch over to the PC version as soon as we can—but that likely won't be until its PC launch on the 12th. Our review will, of course, be based on the PC version.

firewalld a cependant l'avantage d'offrir une interface D-Bus, permettant l'interaction avec d'autres applications – par exemple NetworkManager – ainsi qu'une vraie interface en ligne de commande.
En outre, il est utilisé – du moins disponible – sur d'autres distributions GNU/Linux, notamment Fedora, alors que SuSEfirewall2 n'était utilisé, à ma connaissance, qu'au sein de la famille SUSE.
Si vous êtes sur Leap 42.3, je vous conseille d'attendre que Leap 15 arrive, rien ne presse. Vous verrez à ce moment là. Après vous faites ce que vous voulez.
Si vous êtes sur Tumbleweed, vous pouvez y penser dès maintenant. Surtout que le module pare-feu de YaST a été supprimé et ne fait plus que pointer vers l'outil de configuration graphique de firewalld, ce qui rend plus difficile la configuration de SuSEfirewall2.
… mis à part que l'accès par SSH est autorisé dans cette zone, ce qui à mon avis n'est pas pas un bon choix par défaut.
Cela dit, ça prend trois clics à changer via l'interface graphique : il suffit de décocher ssh dans la liste et de sauvegarder la configuration via Options → Exécution sur Permanent. Donc ça va.
Pro-tip : les fichiers de configuration par défaut sont dans /usr/lib/firewalld tandis que votre propre configuration se retrouvera dans /etc/firewalld.
Si vous aviez des règles personnalisées dans SFW2, vous pouvez les importer dans firewalld via le script susefirewall2-to-firewalld.

Merci pour ce billet Antoine.
Si je comprend bien, la migration sur la version 15, feras que l'on passeras automatiquement sous firewalld?
Non à ma connaissance il n'y a aucun passage automatique à firewalld de prévu pour le moment sur migration Leap 42.3 → 15.
Des indications seront peut-être ajoutées aux notes de version de Leap 15 au moment de sa sortie.
Dans tous les cas rien ne presse sur Leap : le module pare-feu de YaST est encore opérationnel sur la 42.3 donc il n'y a pas grand intérêt à passer à firewalld maintenant.
Merci pour ce tutoriel détaillé.
Pour "susefirewall2-to-firewalld", il a fallu l'installer.
Après un moulinage de quelques minutes inquiétantes, j'ai vu que le script réactivait SFWD comme dans ton message. Alors direction Yast Système Gestionnaire de services pour vérifier que FWD est bien réglé, et mis hors service les deux "SFD" pour l'éternité, ou presque.
Cela a été l'occasion de visiter le pare-feu, pour la première fois.

It seems one of the first things we want to do to our motorcycles is customize it by adding chrome. It doesn’t matter if we bought a blacked out version or one that has so much already on it, we can always find someway to add more chrome. Everyone at K and G Cycles (www.kandsgcycles.com) wants to give you every opportunity to add as much shiny personality (chrome) as you desire. There is never a right or wrong amount of chrome when adding it to your bike, it’s what YOU like.
In recent years the term given to reflective shiny add-ons is “Bling”. So when you hear someone say they have “Blinged out their bike” they most certainly are talking about having added numerous chrome accessories. Even if you prefer to keep the blacked out look of your bike, you can still make it pop by adding black chrome. Black Chrome believe it or not is still very shiny, it just has a darker cast to it, and is sure to bring envy from afar.
When you boil it do wn, chrome is the preferred accessory when customizing a motorcycle, even given as a gift, there is never a bad choice. Regardless what bike you own, or are looking to purchase you can bet there will be chrome accessories available from K and G Cycles (www.kandgcycles.com) to fill your every need. Take some time and browse our large selection of chrome available and take the first step to total customization of your ride.

The last few months have been challenging, to say the least. Tremendous growth opportunity have been presenting themselves, some in uplifting ways, others were more difficult to handle. The difference, I found, lies in our level of resistance. I observed this in my own experience as well as in witnessing others, friends and clients alike. As wave after wave of energy is washing over the planet and through our bodies, the ability to surf those waves rather than opposing them makes the difference between "hanging ten" and having a marvelous time, or getting knocked down, dragged along gasping and flailing. I have done both.
The human mind is designed to keep our bodies alive and functioning in this world. It relies on previous experience to do its job. Whatever coping strategy has worked in the past to help us survive and meet our needs is the one our mind tells us to repeat again and again. For most of the coping strategies there comes a point when they simply quit working. Whether we learned to be over-achievers, control freeks, escape artists, martyrs or rescuers, for example, eventually the body gets tired, and the soul is satiated with the old story. Something within us calls for change. At this point in history, we are actually called to do more than change.
A caterpillar grows incrementally, eating everything in its path, being a consummate consumer. It is quite an expert at being caterpillar by the time it feels this strange new urge to quit eating, find a place to spin a crysalis, and go through a complete metamorphosis. The lucky caterpillar has no brain to tell it that it is about to die, be completely annialated. It is not terrified by the anticipation of turning its structure into amorphous stem cell goo in hopes that something totally new and different will spontaneously compose itself within the chrysalis it is happily weaving because its instincts tell it to.
Our brains are well equiped to balance check books, get to the airport on time for the flight we booked months ago, or follow instructions for "some assembly required" as translated from Chinese. They are not prepared for the transformation that is approaching us these days. We will not sprout wings anytime soon. But our internal personality structure, our ego, is facing a complete metamorphosis. Who we thought we were is much too limited, and for the future of humanity, unsustainable. Our brains cannot be in charge of the metamorphosis. They are also not able to stop the process. They just make it far more difficult than it needs to be. What makes things easier is trust in the wisdom of the heart, and confidence in an intelligence far beyond our comprehension that is entirely benign and loving.
My own transformation is well under way. Busy-ness has softened enough over the past months to allow time for internal chaos, dissolution of old patterns, and emergence of a new sense of self based on trust in my divine guidance more than ever. All is well, and the process continues. As always, I seem to be staying just 2 steps ahead of my clients in the journey, so I can be of assistance rather than scratching my head about what to do with all this new energy. This is exciting, and I am returning from a quasi-sabatical ready to delve into new adventures and opportunities.
One significant change in my work is that I no longer accept insurance payments. Working with insurance confined me to the use of conventionally accepted physical therapy modalities that do not include energy work and intuitive guidance. Including those anyway made me wonder if I was committing insurance fraud. Letting go of the insurance connection has liberated me to follow my intuitive guidance and healing skill to a much more efficient level.
For several months now I have been able to provide treatments in a private home in Hot Springs, MT, once or twice per month, depending on demand. If this location is more convenient for you, give me a call for more details and scheduling options.
Another exciting expansion of my work is the recently established cooperation with fellow healers and therapists.
Last not least, I am offering the first installment of "Healing Laughter and Blessed Ridiculosity", a day of transformation through laughter and play. Check out my events page for details.
I hope you can join the fun!

The Heat (6-10) has now dropped five of its last six games.
Miami had no answer for the 14-time All-Star and four-time NBA most valuable player.
James scored 28 points in the first half, including 19 in the opening quarter, to help the Lakers (9-7) take a 67-52 halftime lead. James capped Los Angeles’ scoring in the half by sinking a running reverse layup with 1.1 seconds left while being fouled.
The Lakers’ lead ballooned to 21 late in the third quarter on a James stepback three-pointer before the Heat closed the frame on a 5-0 run to head into the fourth quarter down 92-76.
The Heat cut the deficit to eight points on three occasions in the fourth quarter.
But at that point, it was too little too late.
Wayne Ellington scored a team-high 19 points for the Heat. Josh Richardson and Tyler Johnson each added 17, while Rodney McGruder chipped in 14. James Johnson, playing in his first game of the year, scored 8 points but was limited to just 15 minutes on the floor after getting into early foul trouble. The Heat shot just 40.2 percent from the floor.
Richardson was ejected with 6:31 left in the game after he threw his shoe into the stands after being called for a personal foul.
The Heat was without point guard Goran Dragic, who continues to have issues with his right knee.
Miami hosts the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.

Filmoria sat down with actress, Ashlee Macropoulos to talk about the second season kick-off of the EMMY-nominated TV show ‘This Just In’ and her role in the new drama film ‘Glass Jaw’.
Congratulations on the shows EMMY-nomination Ashlee!
Can you tell us about ‘This Just In’?
‘This Just In’ is a teen-comedy sitcom that follows Liz Sandler, played by Elizabeth Stanton, and her friends as they navigate through high school, and the life lessons that they learn along the way.
You play Cassie in the show. Can you tell us about her?
Cassie is a headstrong young woman who is not afraid to say what’s on her mind. She’s a smart goal oriented teen who’s passionate about leading the drama club, seeking justice for the underdog and hanging with her best friends. She is a fun character to portray.
The show has just started filming its second season. Are you able to share what viewers can expect from this new season?
The first season was very much focused on introducing Liz Sandler to her new school and the new people around her. There are different personalities in every high school and so we see how she deals with them, and them with each other! In the second season, which we have just begun filming, you see more of the group of friends, who all seem so different, coming together to solve daily problems and generally support each other as they continue life at school.
Aside from ‘This Just In’, you play Zoe in the new boxing drama film ‘Glass Jaw’. Can you tell us a little about the movie and your role in it?
Yes, so ‘Glass jaw’ is an upcoming drama feature film, produced by veteran Hollywood producer Steve Perry of ‘True Romance’ and ‘Lethal Weapon’ franchise fame. I play Zoe, the best friend of Ashley, played by Dana Melanie. The movie, which stars some incredible actors like Jaime Camil (Jane the Virgin), Reynaldo Gallegos (Logan), Mark Rolston (The Departed), Vernon Wells (Commando) and hip hop artist Boosie Badazz, follows a one-time boxing champion who goes to prison and loses everything. After his release, he tries redeeming his reputation, his belt, and his true love. I have not seen the full film yet – it’s still in edit, but I can’t wait for it to come out.
From TV shows to film. Do you have a particular preference?
Honestly, I just love being on set. ‘Glass Jaw’ was my first feature film, and I was shaking like a leaf the whole time but, that’s how I was my first week of shooting ‘This Just In’ too! I’m just excited to keep working and expanding and experiencing being on different types of sets as much as possible. I love the work.
Who inspires you as an actor?
I love Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer and Chelsea Handler, for everything they have done to the entertainment industry by being deeply themselves. I strive to touch people with my acting in the way that Meryl Streep and Viola Davis do, I mean they are just amazing powerhouses and since I was young I’ve always loved Drew Barrymore. Go women! That being said, Robin Williams is still an idol of mine.
When you are not acting, what do you enjoy doing?
I love being out in nature, going to the beach or camping in the forest are high on my list of favorite things to do. I also have a secret collection of pressed flowers, I like to frame them with poetry that I write. I have to say though, going dancing with my friends is my absolute favorite activity!

December 5, 2018: Instagram launches “Close Friend” lists for sharing Stories; YouTube announces plans to make YouTube Originals free; New research on connected devices and OTT video suggests viewers are younger and more engaged; Holiday shopping hits record highs; and Facebook expands “Today In” local news feature.
The new option lets users create lists of specific groups of friends, which appear as options when sharing Stories (seen IRL below). Chosen friends will see a green badge on displayed Stories and a green ring around users’’ profile photos to let them know that this is uber-exclusive “Close Friends”-only content (AKA: no screenshots).
Private sharing is the new social sharing. In fact, the top messaging apps now have more users than the top social networks. An increasing amount of engagement now occurs via messages and private groups. On Instagram, around half of all users also use the platform’s direct messaging options, while previous reports showed that 85 percent of the messages shared on the platform were distributed to the same three friends, highlighting the desire for more intimate sharing.
With this feature, brands and influencers have even more opportunities to target and share posts with specific segments of fans and followers. While these lists could be based on a post’s contextual relevance (i.e., location), they could also be curated based on a brand, interest, or engagement to allow for more exclusive, VIP-like experiences. The biggest potential gains for marketers really comes from the ability to rapidly test and iterate on content with select groups of influencers and their followers before content goes to market. Your insights are only as good as the audience you sourced them from, and these mini Insta focus groups are lit.
YouTube has announced that it will make its YouTube Originals programming free to view and ad-supported. Formerly, Originals programming was only available to YouTube Premium subscribers.
YouTube’s efforts in original video haven’t quite panned out as hoped, especially when compared to the successes of streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu. Despite YouTube’s plans to invest “hundreds of millions” of dollars into the development of original content, Netflix has allocated $8 billion in 2018 alone. So, while it initially made sense for YouTube to dip its toes into a subscription-based model, the lack of access ultimately left viewers saying “Thank u, next” to YouTube Originals and some frustrated creators over the lack of said viewership.
What’s next for YouTube Originals?
The company has announced plans to “expand the audience of YouTube Original creators.” How exactly they will do that is TBD, but one thing’s for certain: YouTube won’t be abandoning its Premium model any time soon. Instead, the company is said to be focusing on its ad-free feature, its ability to be watched offline, and its superior music experience as the product’s core selling points.
Will the next Emmy-award winning show be an influencer-generated YT Original? For some time now, many influencers were reluctant to create content for YouTube Premium under the Originals umbrella because of the growing concern that videos weren’t being seen by as many people as YouTube’s free, ad-supported content. However, with YouTube removing this paywall, Originals content has essentially been democratized, open to more creators, able to amass an audience and generate critical acclaim. It’s also a potential first-mover opportunity for marketers.
New research on connected TV and over-the-top (OTT) video suggests that platform viewers are younger than the audience for traditional, linear TV and more engaged in the content that they watch (lemme pull out my shocked face – it gets better).
Today, seven percent of live TV viewers across the top five TV networks are between the ages of 18 and 24, and 19 percent of that demographic watches content on a connected device. Additionally, the majority of viewers of ad-supported OTT video like interacting with ads. They spent twice as long engaging with those ads as compared to similar ads elsewhere online.
American households are responsible for watching more than eight billion hours of content each month through connected TV devices. In addition, connected TV devices are becoming the preferred platform for video viewing, with consumers watching more than an hour daily on those devices, compared to 36 minutes on computers and 24 minutes on mobile.
Talk to me about the future of TV.
As TV becomes increasingly digital and connected, it will soon be viewed as a digital touchpoint and will become more integrated with digital attribution models. As such, TV ad retargeting will evolve in its maturity, as well, but what’s interesting to consider is how all the tech that’s now commonplace on mobile will be applied to TV. Imagine Apple applies its facial recognition tech to the next Apple TV, and personalized ads or content plays only when the device recognizes it has your attention. Can you imagine the view-through metrics on that! Wasted imps be gone.
The race is on. With the understanding that today’s consumers are increasingly turning to connected devices to consume long-form content, we’re seeing companies like Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google constantly testing new programs, types of content, technologies and watch groups all geared towards meeting consumers where they are already engaging with content.
Another inevitable result of the TV world becoming increasingly digital and automated is that people-based processes in TV are also becoming increasingly automated. The results? More software, fewer jobs.
This year, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday all posted +28% or higher ecommerce revenue versus 2017, with an increased consumer emphasis on discounts, deals, and promotions.
Cyber Monday was the largest spending day of the three key days in terms of total volume and had the ho-ho-highest digital spend ever, hitting $6 billion in total digital spending. Total digital commerce grew 38% on Thanksgiving and 36% on Black Friday, with Thanksgiving being the “most mobile” of the three days. Free shipping also continued to be a point of accord for consumers, with 81 percent of transactions and 90 percent of desktop dollars spent on transactions that included free shipping.
‘Tis the season for brand collabs. According to our 2018 Influencer Holiday Survey, nearly 60 percent of influencers have received a higher number of requests to collaborate on winter holiday campaigns from brands, agencies, or influencer platforms as compared with the same time last year. Additionally, more than 40 percent of influencers surveyed reported that the conversations started earlier in the year this year as compared with last year. You can read more on the report here.
Facebook has announced an extension of its “Today In” local news update section, with the tool now being made available in more than 400 US cities.
Tell me about the feature.
Facebook first launched “Today In” back in January, aiming to highlight the platform’s push for real and trusted news – something that Facebook has been evidently struggling with for quite some time now. As shown below, the tool provides updates on local news stories, events, and group discussions, all aimed at keeping users informed about community happenings and encouraging participation.
In this era of growing political and institutional distrust, people have started turning toward local news sources for trusted and credible of information. The ongoing shift away from national news, as a result, is changing how marketers plan, strategize, and execute both PR and media buys, with more strategies pitching and incorporating local news stations and outlets.
For the same reason that brands invest in an integrated media strategy, brands should also look to invest in an integrated influencer strategy, incorporating local micro-influencers and brand ambassadors to build local relevance and credibility, as well as macro-influencers’ reach.
You Get Facebook Watch, You Get Facebook Watch, We All Get Facebook Watch – Yay?

Philosophy, Shakespeare and evolutionary science.
“Words, Words, Words,” written by David Ives, combines all three themes into a comedic one-act play, blending scientific theory and witty amusement onstage.
“They’re sort of trapped in this existence, and they’re trying to come to terms with their existence while pulling Hamlet out of thin air,” Carson Miller, director of the production, said.
The three chimpanzees, Kafka, Milton and Swift, played by Emily Messing, Dot White and Amanda Demczuk, each embody their own distinct form of intelligence – a dreamer, a realist and a revolutionary.
Their frustrations, reservations and rebellions are all fermented into a single act, raising the questions of mammalian intelligence amidst physical comedy and unavoidable monkey business. The format, open to interpretation by the director, allows for maximum creative potential.
The roles of the three primate test subjects, which have traditionally been played by two male actors and one female, were cast to all female actors in the 14th Grade Players’ production. Assistant Director Julian Sacca-Schaeffer said, despite the gender switch, the actors will still set a tone that connects to the audience.
“They’re multi-faceted characters, and each actor has their own interpretation…they’ve taken their own angle on the characters, which hopefully will prove to be interesting,” Sacca-Schaeffer said.
“Words, Words, Words,” requires scant technical equipment with minimal special effects and props, an ideal production for a college troupe on a tight budget, artistic director Leah Gravius, said.
The 14th Grade Players’ annual Welcome Back One-Acts give interested potential thespian freshmen the chance to share the stage with GW’s theatrically experienced upperclassmen. The two groups come together to produce the first act of the theater year to come.
The Welcome Back One-Acts appear on Lisner Downstage at 8 p.m. on Sept. 29, at 7 and 10 p.m. on Sept. 30 and at 7 and 10 p.m. on Oct. 1.

Juniors embark on their journeys in Duckies.
Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors all experienced adventure outdoors while bonding with their classmates. Each grade participated in a different activity that was meant to serve them in some way during the school year.
The freshmen activities provided the incoming high school students an adventurous start to their journey at Flint Hill. The students chose the activity in which they wanted to participate from a variety of options on the land and in the water, including rock climbing, horseback riding, and canoeing. They were grouped together based on which activity they chose.
These activities were organized to help the freshmen meet each other outside the classroom before the start of the school year, and many students agreed that the trip did just that.
The sophomore class was divided into separate advisory groups during the course of the trip, so that students could really get to know their classmates. Most of the trip consisted of a ropes course and trust activities.
Field Studies gave the students an opportunity to bond. For sophomore Maddy Strafford, the main highlight of Field Studies was the zipline.
“I really liked facing my fears with my whole advisory group, together,” she said.
However, some students thought there should be more of these daring activities in the day’s schedule.
“The zipline was really fun, but I didn’t like the circle discussions and bonding activities as much,” said sophomore Jessica Rappaport. To improve the trip, she says, there should have been fewer sedentary activities in the schedule.
Juniors thought there was room for improvement as well in their Field Studies. All activities were water-related, and students chose from kayaking, rafting, paddle-boarding, canoeing, and smaller rafts called duckies.
While it was fun, some students thought it was a little too strenuous, and they did not get to bond as much as they would have liked.
The Field Studies for seniors was similar to that of the freshmen. Seniors had the chance to pick from a variety of activities as well, both on land and water. According to seniors, the outdoor activities were the perfect way for the senior class to celebrate their last year at Flint Hill.

Walking The Dog - American roots-n-blues music played on tubas, washboards, upright bass, harps, national guitars, ukuleles, banjos, mandolins, trombones, saws.you know, ACOUSTIC STUFF.
AMERICAN ROOTS ‘N BLUES music, according to most scholars, is a blend of Euro-ethnic songs passed down from generation to generation and mixed with African rhythms. Many tunes were composed for fiddles and were played and passed along as two step dance pieces and reels. Some tunes, with lyrics were printed with shape notes on broadside sheets, big newspaper size pages, and sold by traveling salesmen. Others tunes were local ditties sung and played in saloons, or spiritual songs sung in Church. While other tunes were “made-up” and sung as field hollers or work songs.
Wagon Trains, River Boats and the Rail Roads moved the music across the land with the people. It was uniquely American music created through the mixing and melting of the cultures of the various peoples who emigrated and settled around the United States. Just like local food, the music also took on a local “flavor”.
When interviewed by early music researchers about the origins of local tunes many of the old timers from all over said that they believed that music comes from listening to natural, everyday sounds. They believed that after a song has been chanted in the hot fields or stomped out on the front porches and at fish-frys for a long enough time, it gets “stuck in your ears”.
Some songs come from the wishful tunes hummed low by gamblers shooting dice in back rooms; or the songs of praise shouted out by the faithful who have Jesus on the main line and the Devil knocking at the back door.
Good songs tell a story that usually starts somewhere in the middle and has no end. Then everyone who follows along later and sings that song adds a little something to it. They add their words and experiences. These players put “life” into the music that they play as they pass it along at the same time.
We as musicians who have grown up in the South and even those who have not, have the greatest respect for those that have played this music before us. We too are story tellers and hope that someday we too might pass the light and the music on to others who will come along to play after us. It was in this creative spirit that we assembled down in New Orleans, LA. in August 2008 to record this CD, WALKIN’ THE DOG. It was an international gathering of Southern Americans, British and Japanese. But music is its own nationality with its own language.
Walking the Dog is a collaborative musical project that began with Steve Gardner, from Mississippi, now based in Tokyo and Washboard Chaz Leary, of New Orleans. The two put a plan for a recording into the works after a series of successful Tokyo performances, that centered around the annual Tokyo Bourbon Street Mardi-Gras Festival, which was Washboard Chaz’s introduction to Japan.
Walking The Dog is a combination of original tunes; New Orleans, Mississippi and Memphis string band and jug band standards, a few obscure tunes from the turn of the century and a spiritual thrown in for good measure.
The vocal work is shared between Steve Gardner, Washboard Chaz Leary and Bill Steber with everyone else in the house, including recording engineer Nick Vitter, singing back-up, clapping hands or barking like a dog!
Brandon Armstrong handled the tuba, trombone, bass, banjo, guitar and backing vocals while Hisa Nakase played bass and rhythm guitar and sang back up. Bill Benfield played mandolin, lead guitar and slide guitar.
This CD, “Walkin’ The Dog”, is like a journey down the Mississippi River, which runs brown like whiskey through the Mississippi Delta, all the way to New Orleans. The tunes float along lazily and crazily just like that mighty river.
DIGGIN’ MY POTATOES is a Peidmont (North, South Carolina, Georgia) favorite and one of ours too. It is the story of a fellow who has found someone trying to steal his woman and he is doing his best to catch him at it.
FREIGHT TRAIN is a traditional tune put together by the left handed guitarist from the Carolinas, Elizabeth Cotton. She and this tune gained a new popularity in the early folk blues revival of the 1960’s.
MIDNIGHT SPECIAL according to legend is the night train which ran out of Houston, TX. It is said that its light would shine into the Sugar Land Prison as it headed down to San Antonio. As the legend goes, a prisoner would be set free when the light from the Midnight Special shone into his cell. The song is quite old and originates in song legends passed down from the late 1800’s and may have had its origins in North Carolina; but we based our version on the 1934 Huddie William “Lead Belly” Ledbetter version recorded by John and Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress.
JESUS ON THE MAINLINE is a traditional gospel tune that adds a very modern twist for the time- that prayer is just like talking to Jesus on the telephone. In the days before private phone lines, all calls were put through a switch board and handled by an operator who connected everyone to the “mainline”.
SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD, by the Mississippi Sheiks, is one of the early “standards” that set a pattern for other great classics like “You Got To Move” and “Come On In My Kitchen”. I spent many memorable afternoons, playing blues sitting in the Hollandale, Mississippi home of Sam Chatmon, the last member of the Mississippi Sheiks. Mr. Sam left me two great pieces of advice-(1) Everyone needs a chance to be told to sit down. Which he often did. (2) Play your own music as yourself, not trying to be someone else. Which I try to do every day.
DARK TOWN STRUTTER’S BALL the 1917 Shelton Brooks tune is one of the earliest traditional jazz songs to become a jazz standard. It was inspired by the 1915 Pacific-Panama Exposition in San Francisco. It is still up-to-date and fun today after nearly 100 years!
BAD LUCK BLUES is Blind Lemon Jefferson’s 1926 gambler’s lament, win or loose we all want to go back home.
MEAN OLD FRISCO is a traditional tune that blues legend Jessie Mae Hemphill used to play for me when we would be jamming together in her mobile home up in Como, Mississippi.
HIGH STEPPIN’ TO NEW ORLEANS was composed as a group effort among the whole band and headed up by Bill Steber. During his crayfish omelette breakfast Bill hummed and wrote the lyrics down on napkins for a couple of mornings before we all headed into the studio for another day of recording.
HELP ME is one of the many Sonny Boy ll classics that have inspired generations of musicians, just like us. As a matter of fact it was the inspiration for the Memphis classic, “Green Onions”.
GLORY, GLORY HALLELUJAH is a spiritual which has been passed down since the American Civil War. As children we heard it and sang it. One of our favorite recorded versions of this tune is by the great North Mississippi Fife player, Mr. Otha Turner, who always played it at his picnics and live shows and who has gone before us to “lay his burden down”.
We hope that you enjoy this CD and the music that is on it. Thanks for your support. So, stand tall, drink your whiskey straight, play your music loud and walk your dog every chance that you get!
This is an earlier CD by the group. For a later CD see "Wooly Bully Express" by the Jericho Road Show. The music includes guitar, banjo, harmonica, washboard, upright bass, tuba, trombone, ukulele, mandolin, percussion and vocals. Highly recommended if you like this type music. You can sometimes catch them on tour. Live performances are all unique and include a little audience participation (plus they will autograph the CDs).

After a disappointing start to the season, the Los Angeles Kings have fired John Stevens and replaced him behind the bench with former Vancouver Canucks coach Willie Desjardins. German national team coach Marco Sturm has also been hired as an assistant.
The Los Angeles Kings have endured a six-game losing streak, a few eyebrow-raising blowouts, a league-worst minus-17 goal differential and a spiritless attack through the first month of the season. Pair that with a closed-door, players-and-GM meeting following an ugly home loss to the Buffalo Sabres in late-October and coach John Stevens’ seat was so hot it was nearly ablaze. And Sunday morning, despite a 4-1 victory over the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday evening, the Kings sent a message by making Stevens the first coaching casualty of the 2017-18 campaign.
In the wake of the firing, Kings GM Rob Blake said Sunday afternoon that axing Stevens, who has been with the organization since 2010-11, serving as an assistant under Terry Murray and Darryl Sutter with a brief stint as interim bench boss before moving into the position full time last season, was remarkably difficult. Blake also said, however, that it was a necessary decision. On the heels of a campaign in which the Kings made the playoffs under Stevens, Blake said Los Angeles’ often lifeless performances through the first month were a catalyst for the change.
Tasked with righting the ship in Los Angeles is Willie Desjardins, who coached Canada’s national team at the Karjala Cup, Spengler Cup and Pyeongchang Olympics and last stood behind an NHL bench with the Vancouver Canucks during the 2016-17 campaign. During his tenure in Vancouver, which spanned three seasons, Desjardins’ record was 109-110-27. The Canucks’ lone post-season appearance under Desjardins came in 2014-15, with Vancouver ousted in six games. Per Blake, Desjardins’ interim tag is expected to carry the bench boss through to the end of the season.
Desjardins won’t be coming alone, however. With assistant coach Don Nachbaur also relieved of his duties, Los Angeles has also brought aboard former NHLer Marco Sturm, who found his way onto the coaching radar by spurring the German national team to a near gold-medal performance at the Olympics. Germany was defeated in overtime of the gold medal game by the heavily favored Russian squad. Sturm will join the Kings as an assistant next week after wrapping up commitments with the German team. Los Angeles has retained Dave Lowry and Bill Ranford as assistants.
Make no mistake, though, Los Angeles may not be content to limit their changes to off-ice personnel if the turnover behind the bench doesn’t result in an uptick in performance. Up and down the roster, the Kings have struggled. Other than off-season signing Ilya Kovalchuk and all-star defenseman Drew Doughty, who have 11 and 10 points, respectively, no Kings player has a double-digit point total. Last season’s resurgent performance by Anze Kopitar has been followed by a four-goal, six-point start through 12 games. One of last season’s more notable acquisitions, Dion Phaneuf, has struggled to justify his high salary and is fifth in average ice time among Kings defensemen. Tanner Pearson has only a single point, an assist, through 13 games. Sophomore Adrian Kempe has only managed two points. The list goes on.
If there is no turnaround in short order — and in particular once injured starting netminder Jonathan Quick returns — the Kings could very well shake up the roster before mid-season or the trade deadline rolls around. The expectation in Los Angeles is clear: this is a team, particularly with its window closing and high-priced veteran players, that expects to take a few more big swings at bringing home the Stanley Cup for a third time in the modern era. That begins with Sunday’s move.

It is more than just drinking a coffee. By seeing, touching and understanding the journey of the bean from the farm to the table, we have the opportunity to appreciate and taste better the coffee served. The opening of Starbucks Dewata, The Coffee Sanctuary, on 13 January 2019 marked the Starbucks brand’s innovation to share its passion and celebration of a coffee journey and experience to all enthusiasts through five sensory experiences in its unique store concept.
Elevating Starbucks’s concept of Reserve Bar, this 10th reserve outlet in Indonesia, the biggest in Indonesia, the 2nd biggest in the world, is built on an expansive area of 20,000 square foot in the strategic area of Sunset Road. Unlike other reserve outlets, the two-storey building features all guests’ need for a seed-to-cup sensory coffee journey, from the nursery room, a farm with several coffee plants brought from growing coffee area in the archipelago, 3D interactive wall display, tasting room, media room, to the premium reserve bar, where guest finally enjoy selected premium bean while having conversation with the Coffee Masters.
CEO of Starbucks Coffee, Kevin Johnson made the presence and marked the opening of the coffee sanctuary by pouring the hot water to V60 pot together with top-level management and two ministers of Indonesian Government. As Kevin Johnson noted, the opening of one-of-a-kind store concept in the island of Bali is a way to celebrate the long term partnership in term of coffee production, in which Sumatran beans has been a part of Starbucks Coffee for a long time. He also hopes that this destination will be a must-visit destination in Bali in order to show the coffee activities in Indonesian as the 4th biggest Arabica producer in the world.
More than visiting a coffee store, the look and elegance greet the guests upon arrival. From its facade, each tiny detail has been carefully thought and implemented to represent Balinese and Indonesia culture in general. Details are inspired by nature, waves, culture, tradition, even the harmonic concept of Tri Hita Karana. No need to be in rush. Instead, slow down and see what each detail in the store has to say. It is really a pleasure for the eyes.
Inside Starbucks Dewata, guests will find different sections to enjoy the coffee and spend free time. Opt to sit outside in the terrace, around the reserved bar allowing interaction with Coffee Master Or, go to the second floor for more quiet space at the library room to simply escape from the hustle or have an important meeting. Each section provides comfortable spaces between tables to ensure comfort and privacy.
Although every guest has free access to every facility available in the coffee sanctuary, joining a tour with guide promise a better experience as the guest will be accompanied by a friendly host who will tell you everything about Starbucks’ coffee making process. Sometimes, it simply feels good to have someone talking while exploring, right? The tour comes with a price, but it is worth!
Next to the core bar which serves the brand’s signature beverages, The reserve bar is an exclusive place for an interesting experience. The coffee provided here is selected beans who have premium qualities, and the menu will always change based on the available beans. At this bar, coffee is made by using manual brew, and the guest has the time to see the process and interact with the Coffee Master about the tasting notes, origin, or conversation about coffee in general. In addition, this store also serves some fresh light bites, in cooperation with trusted vendor.

UPDATED: The ShoreTel Sky for Salesforce application in particular will enable users to be able to automatically log all calls, voicemails and SMS messages.
ShoreTel and Salesforce.com have announced a new partnership that will match up two resources for hopefully the greater good -- as far as big data is concerned.
In a nutshell, customers of both parties could look forward to the end-to-end integration of each company's most prized product and resource: Salesforce's CRM applications and ShoreTel's phone data.
There are two applications at work under the plan: ShoreTel for Salesforce and ShoreTel Sky for Salesforce. These apps will link the Salesforce platform with ShoreTel's on-premises IP-PBX system, Sky cloud-based phone system, ShoreTel Workgroups, and ShoreTel Sky Contact Center.
The ShoreTel Sky for Salesforce application in particular will enable users to be able to automatically log all calls, voicemails and SMS messages.
Like many other cloud and big data-related integrations these days, the idea is to provide employees with a single, streamlined visual into business communications in real time.
Both of the ShoreTel-specific for Salesforce apps are available now from the Salesforce1 AppExchange, which under went a branding revolution last November .
While it is still a bit too early to discern just how successful the revamp has been, early data in January suggested that Salesforce has seen a new burst of energy and interest in the online app store.
UPDATE: ShoreTel made a correction to its initial announcement provided to ZDNet. The ShoreTel for Salesforce and ShoreTel Sky for Salesforce will not be available through AppExchange.
Instead, for the on-premise solution, the new software is available on ShoreTel’s partner support site. The ShoreTel Sky solution is available via the ShoreTel Sky provisioning mechanisms.

Judy Furnivall is a consultant at CELCIS. She provides training and consultancy in key areas including attachment, trauma and resilience, aiming to increase reflective capacity, emotional strength and understanding amongst the adults who care for looked after children. Here she discusses how important it is for children in residential care to develop the ability to navigate relationships with each other.
Cast your mind back to your own childhood and adolescence. Most of you I am sure you will remember important relationships with adults in your own family, school or community that made you feel safe, loved and cared about and perhaps inspired and stimulated, and possibly you’re still friends with some of them.
I very much doubt, however, if they are the only important relationships that you remember. Brothers and sisters; friends and enemies; being with other children are an essential part of normal childhoods. Joy, excitement, pain and delinquency – all often hidden from the adult world- characterise these relationships.
They provide the space where we learn to cope with competition and disappointment; the freedom to experiment with different identities; and the people with whom we can not only have unsupervised fun but also share our anxieties and hopes free from adult judgement. This is, in fact, how we learn about ourselves in a social world.
Let’s be honest though – if the adults in our lives had known at the time what we had got up to in this social sphere there are times they would probably have been very anxious!
Children and adolescents can be cruel to each other, they may encourage each other to get up to mischief or even egg each other on to take dangerous risks. It is, however, this very pushing at the boundaries that allows children and young people to work out how to manage themselves in difficult situations and survive as they traverse the hazardous route from dependent childhood to independent adulthood.
It is also true, despite parental beliefs, that there is no easy split into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ crowds. The same young people who are involved in dangerous or delinquent behaviours together may be the very individuals who provide each other with the most sensitive support in times of distress and strongest encouragement to succeed in life.
For children in residential care this natural social experience is often absent or severely curtailed. Separation from their brothers and sisters is a common experience, even though we know the level of distress and impact this can have.
Within many residential settings, the relationships between children are often seen as troublesome – a problem to be overcome rather than a resource to be nurtured and cherished.
While occasionally there are concerns about the potential harm that children may cause each other, often it is practicalities that cause and maintain the separation of children experiencing care. Yet we know that our siblings can be the people with whom we have the longest relationships in our lives, the people we turn to for all sorts of practical and emotional support.
Even when we believe that there may be a current danger in a particular sibling relationship we should have the courage and determination to face this and help children find a safe way to regain a positive connection. For most young people, however, it is not concern about risk so much as our failure to prioritise and resource these important connections that cause such painful breaches in relationship. How would you feel if this was happening to your children, or children you know?
The current (and important) focus on the importance of relationships between adults and children can become distorted so that relationships that may exist between young people and their peers may not be given the respect or importance that they deserve.
This is often explained with a misuse of attachment or trauma theory by suggesting that young people are not emotionally ‘ready’ to cope with peer relationships. Anyone who has watched a baby’s delight and joy when playing with a slightly older brother or sister knows that we come into the world ready for social connection with people who are not necessarily attachment figures. Our young people have the same need and yearning for reciprocal relationships where they give and take, have fun and explore.
Just as happens in a family setting, sometimes these relationships will become fraught and explosive in a residential setting. But, just as in a family, a residential setting provides a fantastic space where it is possible to learn in a protected way how to manage such fallouts safely and repair relationships.
These are key skills that children transfer to school and community connections.
Residential care is by definition a group experience but we are in danger of denying the therapeutic potential of the group of young people and instead focus on the dangers young people present to each other. Whether we like it or not children in residential settings will have important relationships with each other.
If we do not actively encourage positive relationships and a culture where young people feel responsible for each other we run the risk of fostering exactly the kind of damaging, delinquent sub-culture we fear. When teams and workers show the courage to question the systems and procedures that push them to work in this destructive way, young people flourish and this positive culture can make residential settings less stressful places in which to work. The friendships and connections that can develop in residential care should be celebrated not feared!
I am not denying that some young people can present a very real threat to the wellbeing and safety of others, but we behave as if this is the default position rather than a rarity. If we listen to adult care leavers they describe the importance of the relationships they had with other children whose lives they shared in care. Often those relationships continue into adulthood and underpin a valuable network where care experienced people can be sure of support and understanding from others who shared their childhood.
Where these relationships have been ruptured by placement moves, the impact on children of such losses can be devastating, yet little thought is invested in considering ways to maintain and support these important connections.
This is not good enough and we have a responsibility to acknowledge, respect and support the enduring nature of these relationships. Social isolation is one of the hardest issues facing care leavers and it is unsurprising that they turn to the people they grew up with for emotional connection. If we have always emphasised the negative rather than the positive in these relationships then we should not be surprised that often these relationships become destructive and damaging when adult control is removed.
We now understand that what is harmed through relationship can best be healed through relationship. The persistent error we make is to assume that this only happens for children in their relationships with adults.
Strength and resilience is developed through friendships and through being responsible for others. Let us unleash the therapeutic power of young people’s relationships with each other, allow them the joy and risks of normal childhood and be ready to support them through their mistakes.

crgetngroups() returns the number of groups in the user credential pointed to by cr.
crsetresuid() sets the real, effective and saved user id. All but one can be specified as -1, which causes the original value not to change.
crsetresgid() sets the real, effective and saved group id. All but one can be specified as -1, which causes the original value not to change.
crsetugid() initializes the real, effective and saved user id all to uid. It initializes the real, effective, and saved group id all to gid.
crsetgroups() sets the number of groups in the user credential to ngroups and copies the groups from gids to the user credential. If ngroups is 0, gids need not point to valid storage.
It is an error to call this any of the crset*() functions on a user credential structure that was newly allocated.
The crget*() functions return the requested information.
The crset*id() functions return 0 on success and -1 if any of the specified ids are invalid. The functions might cause a system panic if called on a user credential structure that is referenced by other parts of the system.
These functions can be called from user and kernel contexts.

‘I didn’t fit in main stream education. It just didn’t work for me in a number of ways – relationship with teachers and students were problematic. I think because I was a number and there wasn’t much relational time for teachers to give us individually, I really struggled to connect. Focussing in class was a huge issue but I also felt like I needed additional learning support! I’m a boy, and sometime sitting at a desk for every class just doesn’t work!
So halfway through Year 6, I just had enough…and stopped going to school altogether. A friend suggested I check out Arethusa College at Deception Bay, so I enrolled and started Year 7 the following year. Teachers here at Arethusa College work with you, they are so caring about each student. They come to this school to help us.

Your ZIP code can be as important as your genetic code when it comes to health.
That genes influence our health is well known. So is the importance of healthy eating and active living. What is not as widely known is how greatly the conditions in which people live, learn, work, and play affect their health.
Making healthy choices depends on the choices you have.
If an area has no stores with ample options for healthy foods—or if healthy foods are not affordable—eating healthy can be difficult.
If there are no open spaces or safe places to play or exercise—parks, playgrounds, basketball courts—active living can be hard to do.
Not all New Yorkers have the same opportunities to be healthy. Population-specific differences in quality of health caused by racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic factors are called “health disparities.” When opportunities for health are fair and balanced, “health equity” can exist.
Building Healthy Communities—Promoting Health at the Neighborhood Level.
Reducing health disparities and increasing health equity in the five boroughs of New York is the goal of Building Healthy Communities (BHC). A new initiative by the de Blasio administration, BHC aims to improve community health outcomes in 12 neighborhoods around the city by increasing access to fresh food, improving opportunities for physical activity, and promoting safe and vibrant public spaces.
Led by the Mayor’s Office of Strategic Partnerships and the Fund for Public Health in New York City, BHC is aligning the resources and programs of multiple city agencies, leveraging the City’s investment to secure significant new private funding, and connecting City efforts to individual, nonprofit, business, and community efforts to maximize collective impact.
The Fund is leading the fundraising and grant management for BHC. This work includes coordination of partners, budget management, executing contracts, hiring staff, and ensuring grant compliance.

Four years since security forces violently dispersed two sit-ins at Rabaa al Adawiya and al-Nahda squares in Greater Cairo, leaving at least 900 people dead and thousands more injured, Egypt is experiencing an unprecedented human rights crisis, said Amnesty International.
Not a single person has been held to account for the events on 14 August 2013, widely known as the Rabaa massacre. Instead, hundreds who attended the protests, including journalists and photographers who were covering the events, have been arrested and are facing an unfair mass trial. This vacuum of justice has allowed security forces to commit serious human rights violations, including using excessive lethal force and carrying out enforced disappearances, entirely unchecked.
“President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi’s regime has been determined to wipe out all memory of the massacre of the summer of 2013. The dark legacy of this failure to bring anyone to justice is that Egypt’s security forces today feel that they will not be held accountable for committing human rights violations,” said Najia Bounaim, North Africa Campaigns Director at Amnesty International.
Since 2015, at least 1,700 people are estimated to have been “disappeared” by state agents for periods ranging from a few days to up to seven months. Most victims are abducted from the streets or their homes and held incommunicado for months, cut off from their families and lawyers. Egyptian security forces have also carried out dozens of extrajudicial executions.
The Egyptian government’s efforts to erase all memory of the 2013 massacres appear to have had some impact. In August 2013, following the excessive use of lethal force by security forces at Rabaa, the EU Foreign Affairs Council agreed to suspend export licenses to Egypt of any equipment which could be used for internal repression. Despite this, many EU member states have continued to supply the country with arms and policing equipment. The latest EU country report published last month also makes no mention of the Rabaa massacre or the impunity security services still enjoy.
or death, after grossly unfair trials. In many cases defendants were convicted in mass trials based on scant or dubious evidence. Most faced charges including participating in unauthorised protests, belonging to the banned Muslim Brotherhood group, damaging state and private property, possessing firearms and attacking security forces.
The prosecution authorities, who have an obligation to bring those responsible for the 2013 tragedy to justice, have proven unwilling to investigate and prosecute those responsible for these crimes. Instead of offering justice and remedy for victims, they have helped shield perpetrators from prosecution.
“The level of disparity between the rampant impunity enjoyed by security forces who took part in the Rabaa dispersal on one hand, and the mass persecution of Muslim Brotherhood supporters who participated in protest as well as journalists reporting that day, is shocking,” said Najia Bounaim.
According to official statistics, six security officers were killed during the Rabaa dispersal and three during the al-Fateh protest two days later, also in Cairo. At least 1,231 people are being prosecuted in two mass trials collectively charged with their killing.
At least 737 people were charged for participating in the 2013 sit-in in what is known as “Rabaa dispersal case”. Among them is the journalist Mahmoud Abu Zeid, known as “Shawkan” who was arrested for taking photographs during the sit-in at Rabaa.
Many of those detained are held in appalling conditions including prolonged solitary confinement amounting to torture. They have frequently been beaten and denied access to lawyers, medical care or family visits.
In another emblematic case, known as the “Fateh mosque case”, at least 494 people are on mass trial for participating in a protest on 16 August 2013, while no investigation was conducted into the use of excessive lethal force by security forces that day that killed 120 protesters.
Those on trial include the Irish Egyptian national Ibrahim Halawa. The group are facing charges including participating in an unauthorised protest, belonging to a banned group, as well as murder and attacking the security forces. The prosecution failed to investigate claims by defendants that they were tortured by police to “confess” to crimes they did not commit.
The “Rabaa operations room case” involving four journalists from the RASSD news network - Youssef Talaat, Abdallah Al-Fakharany, Samhi Mostafa and Mohamed El-Adly – is another case that exemplifies the blatant injustice characterizing such trials.
The journalists were sentenced to five years in prison on 8 May 2017 after being convicted of charges including creating and overseeing media committees at the Rabaa sit-in to spread “false information and news”. During the trial, their lawyers were unable to attend several crucial court sessions leaving them unable to prepare a proper defence. The court’s judgement also relied primarily on investigations by Egypt’s National Security Agency that were not substantiated by material evidence.
