Arbitrations in London are conducted under the Arbitration Act 1996.
The London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) was founded in 1960. The new LMAA Terms effective as of 1 May, 2017 (also available in Chinese) are the terms on which LMAA members usually accept arbitration appointments in maritime cases. Where the members of the tribunal accept the appointment on such terms, they apply to and govern the procedure adopted in the arbitration reference.
Members of the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) receive many times more annual appointments than all the other maritime nations together. The 2016 statistics include figures provided by full and aspiring full members of the LMAA, as well as from barristers accepting appointments on LMAA Terms. They do not however include figures from supporting members of the LMAA accepting arbitration appointments, so the actual total number of LMAA appointments, references and awards will almost certainly be higher.
In a continuing flat market, the statistics remain robust with over 500 awards published and nearly 3,000 appointments in total, with a notable 25% increase in the number of SCP appointments.
The LMAA publishes its LMAA Intermediate Claims Procedure 2017, and the LMAA Small Claims Procedure 2017, as well as a procedure for Fast and Low Cost Arbitration (FALCA), and Mediation Terms, all of which together offer those involved in maritime matters a wide range of choice for the resolution of disputes. Earlier editions of the Terms and Procedures are available on LMAA website.
GAFTA is an international Trade Association with over 1500 members in 89 countries. Its aim is to promote international trade in grain, animal feed materials, pulses and rice and to protect the interests of its members worldwide, providing the support and international contacts they require. GAFTA also conducts arbitration.

Charles Schwab has educational resources beginners will need to navigate investing, while sophisticated tools will attract active traders.
The Bottom Line: Schwab delivers with low commissions, high-quality research and a robust investment selection.
Charles Schwab caters to investors of all stripes. Beginners will find the information they need to navigate investing, while sophisticated tools — including robust trading platforms — will attract active traders. Schwab also receives high marks for its research offerings and a massive selection of no-transaction-fee mutual funds. And the company recently announced plans to double the number of commission-free exchange-traded funds offered and reduced its minimum investment requirement to $0, putting it on par with many of its competitors.
There's not much to knock at Schwab, but some customers who go beyond its low-fee fund options may experience sticker shock.
Investors seeking no-minimum index funds.
Investors who rely on premium research.
Commissions and fund expenses: Schwab is one of the lowest-cost online brokers, offering $4.95 trading commissions. Better yet, investors will pay zero commission fees for an expanded lineup of 500- ETFs (up from more than 260) effective March 1 and zero transaction costs or loads (initial sales charges) for more than 4,000 mutual funds that are part of Schwab's OneSource services. With its proprietary lineup of index funds and ETFs, Schwab now offers some of the lowest expense ratios.
Investment selection: Schwab really delivers with a robust array of commission-free ETFs and no-transaction-fee mutual funds, making it affordable for investors to build a diversified portfolio.
Customers benefit in two ways. First, the selection is impressive and easy to navigate. Schwab's ETF Select List helps narrow the choices, featuring picks for the best fund in selected categories (more on this below). You can sort the list by feature, including expense ratio, Morningstar category and benchmark index. There's also the Personalized Portfolio Builder tool, designed to help you create a diversified portfolio based on your financial goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. Second, Schwab continues to aggressively compete on costs. There's no minimum initial investment for Schwab's mutual funds, and investors pay the same expense ratios on these funds regardless of the amount invested. Meanwhile, expense ratios for Schwab ETFs match or beat those from Vanguard or BlackRock.
Customer service: Like many online brokers, Schwab offers around-the-clock phone support. But the company’s chat support is just as good, and can be an easy way to get answers quickly. Schwab also has more than 350 branches (though there's not a presence in every state), where you can attend complimentary workshops and meet with financial consultants by appointment. And Schwab has a robo-advisor offering, Schwab Intelligent Portfolios, if you want complete management.
Research: Schwab’s research offerings are hard to beat, perhaps the best available from an online broker. The company provides its own equity ratings, along with reports from Morningstar, Credit Suisse, Market Edge, Ned Davis and others. In addition to real-time news and earnings reports, the broker offers a variety of research reports and market commentary authored by in-house experts, as well as a quarterly magazine free of charge.
Schwab’s investment screeners are easy to use and let you save your screens. Select Lists, like the previously mentioned one for ETFs, are compiled by the company’s experts and released quarterly to give you a pre-screened selection of mutual funds and ETFs. The funds on the list are divided by category, so you can easily see the company’s picks for, say, large-cap stock mutual funds.
Do you have an Amazon Alexa? The virtual assistant now has a Schwab skill, which offers market updates, quotes on securities prices and updates on your watch list.
Account and investment minimums: In late 2018, Schwab reduced its account minimum from $1,000 to $0. That means the broker directly competes with other no-minimum brokers, including TD Ameritrade, and comes in lower than Fidelity.
The real highlight here, though, is that the company has removed investment minimums on all Schwab index funds. This means you can get into one of these funds even if you have a small amount of money and maintain your momentum with small, regular investments.
Trading platforms: In addition to the basic trading capabilities on Schwab's website, the broker offers two robust trading platforms. Its premier offering is StreetSmart Edge, a customizable platform available with downloadable software or via cloud-based technology online. Schwab's online trading platform is called Trade Source. It also has a suite of programs called StreetSmart Central, for options trading. Finally, the broker offers mobile trading, available on either the Schwab or StreetSmart Mobile apps.
Both StreetSmart and Trade Source are available to customers who opt into the broker's trading services, with no related trade minimums or fees. These platforms provide access to research and robust tools catering to various types of traders. Basic trades can be placed on Schwab's website, while the other platforms offer more sophisticated features.
StreetSmart Edge is designed for efficiency, with simple navigation and customization that's designed to match your trading style. The many advanced features include robust charting tools, the ability to trade multiple securities in the same order window (and with a variety of order types), tools to monitor your market exposure and a commercial-free live stream of CNBC. The customizable features of this platform are notable, including the Balance Bar, which gives you a quick overview of your account and buying power, along with the ability to create and edit multiple trading layout. Finally, you can quickly research a symbol, view streaming market data and enter an order.
Trade Source lets traders monitor their portfolio and the markets, access research and view technical data. Trade Source features an intuitive trade ticket for stock, ETF and options orders that incorporates current market information.
Transaction-fee funds: With Schwab's long list of no-transaction-fee funds, it’s easy to avoid these. But if you want a fund that isn't on that list, you’ll pay for it. The fee to buy (or sell) transaction-fee funds is up to $49.95 (recently reduced from $76), which still is one of the highest charges of all the brokers cheatgame.info has surveyed — although trades below $100 in principal are exempt from this fee.
Customer experience: The Schwab website has a wealth of information, but it can be difficult to track down what you need. Customers have complained about the wait time (or overall service experience) for issues requiring a specialist's assistance. Meanwhile, some customers find the Schwab app to be lacking, including issues with fingerprint log-in, slow loading times or push notifications that aren't useful.
That said, dissatisfied customers do have recourse thanks to Schwab's satisfaction guarantee. Contact the broker and if your dispute meets certain criteria, Schwab will refund commission or transaction fees, generally within four weeks.

In addition to providing information about gene expression, RNA-seq data can be used to discover transcripts which result from chromosomal translocations. Translocations and their resultant chimeric (AKA fusion) transcripts are important driver mutations in many cancers. A variety of specialized alignment and filtering strategies have been developed to identify fusion transcripts from RNA, but these programs suffer from low specificity (i.e. many false-positives) and poor correlation across methods.
This tutorial uses the kallisto and pizzly tools for fusion detection from RNA-seq data. Kallisto quantifies transcript abundance through pseudoalignment. Pizzly aligns reads which kallisto has flagged as potentially spanning fusion junctions. Running the tutorial requires RNA fastq files, a reference transcriptome, and a gene annotation file- see below.
From Installation, installed Conda package manager, R, pizzly, and kallisto.
From Data, have fastq sequence files of normal and tumor RNA at /workspace/inputs/data/fastq/chr6_and_chr17/.
Important: pizzly will not work with the most recent Ensembl human GTF annotation file. Download the version 87 GTF as shown in the below code block. We will subset the reference transcriptome fasta file. Fasta splitting programs which do not preserve the full Ensembl header such as gffread or gtf_to_fasta will not work with pizzly.
If using 30% of reads with the above process, expect about 13,000 retained transcripts from normal and about 3,000 retained transcripts from tumor. See next section to investigate the output of the pizzly fusion calling.

How did Greek jewelry designer Elena Votsi who is known for her bold sculptural work win the competition to design the Olympic medal for the Summer Games? The story started right before the 2004 Olympics in Athens. To celebrate the return of the event to its place of origin, the Olympic Committee decided there should be a redesign of the medal. It would mark the first time the hardware had been materially changed since the 1928 Games in Amsterdam. Elena recounted the moving experience of winning the intense competition for us.
How were you chosen to design the Olympic medal for the Athens Games?
In 2003, I received an invitation from the organization of the Olympic Games asking me to take part in the international competition to redesign the Olympic medal. My first reaction was to politely decline. The pressure was too much and the competition too challenging. I never thought I could win. Then I got a specific idea in my mind. I began drawing and making it real. After finishing the design, I left from Athens to Hydra to clear my head but more ideas were coming to my mind. As the deadline approached, I felt strongly that I should send the first idea that I had in my mind and heart. The one that was making me feel sure as an artist and as an admirer of the Olympic Games.
After turning in my proposal, I had some appointments with the organization. Finally, they announced that the winner will be chosen in a few days. I traveled to Hydra again. Then, one morning, I received a call from the president of the Olympic organization, telling me I was the winner. The same day I received a call from my doctor who told me I was pregnant with my son Nicholas. It was one of the best days of my life.
When you did the initial design did you know it was going to be used indefinitely for the Summer Games?
Not exactly, a few days after that first call, I had a second call where they told me that the international Olympic committee loved the universal approach of my proposal and the Greek elements used. They had decided to keep and use my design for the front of the medals for all the future Olympic Games. That was an unbelievable moment and the biggest honor of my career.
*Editorial note: Each host city creates a unique design on the reverse and their own size for the medal.
Your beautiful heroic design celebrates Greece with the goddess Nike, the Kallimarmaro stadium and the Acropolis? Greece’s ancient history is rich with symbolism. What made you decide to put these three elements on the medal?
According to myth, the goddess Nike came down from the sky to put the wreath on the head of the winning athletes. That’s why Nike is in the middle of the Kallimarmaro stadium. The stadium was part of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. The Acropolis is the jewel of Athens and ancient Greece where Democracy and Philosophy started. It is where meaning was given to important words such a universal, heritage and legacy.
The three motifs were the first ones in my mind when designing the Olympic medal. They were the three symbols I wanted to use for making the connection between past and present, myth and reality.
Your collection is so bold and artistic and the medal is such a classical work. Could you tell me about the side of your personality you explored to execute the design?
This is something many people ask me. In my mind everything is very clear. My first degree at the School of Fine Arts in Athens was in painting. My masters at Royal College of Art in London was in Jewelry. Two different things that allowed me to think as a painter and artist when needed and as a jewelry designer when needed too. Sometimes I use my knowledge from both for both. When I am asked to design for a museum or for an organization or for the town hall or the government, it is different than when I design my jewelry collections. I love the fact that I can play in both ways and I can use everything I have learned by being next to my amazing teachers as a student in both colleges. I love designing anyway. There is nothing else I could I do.
Finally, what has it meant to you to be the designer of the medal for the Summer Games?
I think there are not any words that can explain my feelings about that. It is such a privilege and part of my identity already. It is so touching when I see all those great athletes wearing my medal, people who had to practice all their lives to achieve something like that. It is a great moment when I happen to meet some of those athletes or when they send me a picture holding their medals. I am more than happy to quietly be part of the idea of the Olympic Games. Its an idea that brings different people together and tries to communicate the importance of friendship, love, courage, peace and humanity.
All 28 of the Olympic medals Michael Phelps has won feature Elena Votsi’s design on the front.

One of the oldest methods of racehorse investment is the quinella. It’s a lot older than you and I, and it makes a lot of sense.
Recently I was going over my past year’s investments, and I was examining the possibility of having backed all my selections each way. As against having twice the investment on the win, the each way possibility fell a long way behind.
However, while the profit would have been reduced, the insurance factor always has to be taken into consideration. There was one sequence of losers that had my teeth on edge, and this could have been greatly relieved had I been betting each way.
I have discussed with you, in the past, the pluses and minuses of each way betting, and the jury is still out. Big thought coming up, so stick with me.
It occurred to me that if I really believed a horse would win a race, or even if I thought that the value offered was such that I must support it, even although it might not be my number one selection, nevertheless I did not expect it to run third.
If I expected to be beaten at all, the likelihood would be that I would be beaten by one other horse. Let me put this another way. If I am relatively confident that my horse will win and the price is right, I will focus very squarely on this potential bet. I would need to be pretty sure, as I said above, that the horse is a likely winner, or will go close.
That’s the flash that went through my brain recently. I believe my selections will win or go close. Americans favour (at least they do in their books) the exacta when getting exotic with their selections, and they “roll the field”. Again I am only going on their major writers, but the quinella or, as some call it, the dual forecast, seems to be the poor relation.
It has always seemed to me that two units on the quinella is a better investment than a reverse bet of one unit each on an exacta. You get double the dividend for the same result, and my limited research has shown that the kinds of horses that I select return me more money this way.
$25 win and $25 selection as a field quinella.
The selection is now being insulated against a total loss since it now has to run first or second, with anything filling that other third place which becomes irrelevant. If your selection runs third you lose, and that’s that.
However, if your selection runs first or second, you either get the win and the quinella (first) or just the quinella (second). Looking at the $25 outlay for the place, I’m not sure how successful it would be long-term, but it might just be a bonanza.
You are taking your selection with the field for an outlay of $25 on the quinella. If there are 12 to 15 starters, then in round figures you are going to have $2 on each combination (don’t forget it is simply a matter of checking the number of horses in the race and deducting one from the total; this will give you your cost per unit).
If you are a larger investor, this mode of operation might become even more attractive. In fact, you might consider giving way to some of your win investment, replacing it with this moderate exotic. For example, if it is not outside your range to bet $200 on the race, and your selection is available at 5/1, you might contemplate supporting it to win to the tune of $80 (returning $480 gross).
You might then invest the other $120, which represents 60 per cent of your outlay, on the field quinella ($10 each with a 13 horse field). You might also decide to stagger the quinella according to the chances, as I will do below. Whatever you do, if your horse wins you must win $280 plus your gross return on your quinella investment.
And so, you might decide to allocate your $120 quinella bet on three levels over the 12 other horses: $60 amongst the top four, $40 amongst the next four, and $20 on the four outsiders. Your quinella bets on each combination would be four bets at $15, four more at $10, and the final four at $5 each. That makes $120 for your “quinella insurance”.
You can’t do this at all effectively with a trifecta, and it will cost you a lot more to do it with an exacta at the same level. But I’m thinking that there might be a great deal of logic in allocating your insurance money across the board in quinellas.
How you do it will be an interesting challenge and perhaps some readers could write and tell me what they come up with. But dollar for dollar, I believe there is very strong argument for this alternative method of insuring your win bet.
To conclude, I leave you with this thought: if you really believe the horse will win, and you decide to back it to win, you must think it will go pretty darn close. Common sense? Of course it is. Then why back it to come third?

On your best behavior – Kirsty MacLeod joins Real Scientists!
I grew up on an island on the west coast of Scotland – very rural, very coastal – so I was really plugged in to nature and loved being outdoors from a young age. Having family in South Africa exposed me to very different ecosystems and animals too – so when it came to deciding on a career path, I knew it had to involve the outdoors (and ideally, the opportunity to travel) in some way. Zoology was an easy choice!
I’m a behavioural ecologist – I want to know why behaviours and traits evolve, and how those affect systems at every level. For me, it’s the ultimate integrative field – I’ve used genetic tools, classic behavioural studies, and now am moving into physiology too. All to answer the fundamental question of – why and how does individual X have more babies than individual Y? I love the field because it’s rooted in very simple “why?” questions – it keeps my job fun and creative!
My main interest is in the interactions between offspring and their parents/carers. Previously I’ve worked on the function of alloparental care in cooperative systems, and how this interacts with maternal investment and care behaviour. Now, I’m looking more at maternal effects – how the maternal environment influences offspring through non-genetic means. Right now I’m trying to find out how the stress that female lizards experience during gestation influences the next generation. We are only starting to understand the cross-generational effects of everything we do – lizards may seem a million miles from you or I, but the basic stress response is the same, so this work has the potential to illuminate how maternal stress influences offspring behaviour across species! This project is also focusing on the stress of invasive fire ants. As people move more around the globe, invasive species are becoming a greater threat to biodiversity. This project will help us to understand what some of those effects might be.

The Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan native was the starting defensive tackle for the Saskatchewan Roughriders for nine seasons. He attended college in North Dakota where he played for the Fighting Sioux and he signed with the San Diego Chargers in 2001 and the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2002 before playing with the Roughriders. He was the 1st round draft pick (first overall) in the 2001 CFL College Draft. Scott had 178 career tackles and 41 (35 regular season and 6 playoff) sacks during his tenure with the Riders. He was the starting defensive tackle on the 2007 Grey Cup championship team. On August 4, 2009, Scott retired to become the president of Schultz Gareau Insurance Ltd. located in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Scott continues to be active in supporting the community. Scott has spoken to over 100 schools throughout the province of Saskatchewan with the Fine Foods Community Youth Challenge. He is well known for his motivational speaking and humor. Scott has run a youth football camp in Moose Jaw for the past seven years. He and his wife Rosaline, daughter Anna and son Evan make White City, Saskatchewan area their year-round home.
"We had Scott Schultz speak as the keynote at our annual fundraising banquet for our 9-man football team in Fort Qu'Appelle. Scott in a word was amazing. It was a true privilege to listen to somebody from Saskatchewan speak about succeeding as an individual in Saskatchewan. Scott brought the perfect combination of humour, inspiration, and advice for my forty players. Parents, players, our principal, and my coaching staff all thoroughly enjoyed Scott and his words of wisdom. I thoroughly recommend Scott as a speaker at any sports venue - he knows what it takes to be a successful individual in Saskatchewan, he lives his talk, and he is a delight to listen too!"
"Scott was great with Kids at the rink, signing mini sticks , talking to the hockey teams on and off the ice showing off his grey cup ring. At the hall he socialized with everyone , held babies that wouldn't go to sleep for their parents. One person said to me we hired two comedians to speak at our Oil Mens bonspiel and Scott was far funnier than either one of them, he pretty much had the crowd in his hand."
"Scott Schultz was wonderful to have keynote our conference. His personal stories, football memories and ability to motivate our teachers by speaking about his previous school experiences and the influences they had on him was spectacular. We look forward to having another opportunity of having a speaker like him at future conferences."
"We had our Second Annual Sports Gala in Zenon Park this spring (2012) and once again it was a big success. Special thanks to Joe Gunnis of EMJ Marketing for all of the help in once again getting us some top notch talent and for coming to our event. Scott Schultz and Weston Dressler were a big hit with the kids as they generously agreed to take part in an autograph session prior to the dinner; Weston was a big hit with the ladies too! Both men were hilarious and had great tales to tell. Mr. Schultz is pretty smooth for a big man. And who knew that Elton John would factor into the evening? Michael Ball did a fantastic job as emcee and helped keep the evening moving along smoothly, even if the Big Deal Mobile didn't move so smoothly.
I highly recommend contacting Joe from EMJ Marketing if you are looking to get a good speaker for your event. He will do whatever he can to make your event a success."

Masterpiece. That is the easiest and quickest way to describe Guillermo del Toro’s gothic romance The Shape of Water. The Film recently won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and is the early front-runner to take the Grolsch People’s Choice Award at TIFF this Sunday.
It is the 1960’s and mute Eliza (a never better Sally Hawkins) is working as a cleaning lady in a high-tech government facility. While cleaning one of the labs, she discovers what the scientists and top brass refer to as The Asset (Doug Jones) – a fish/human/creature hybrid. Despite the secrecy of his existence, Eliza befriends the creature, changing both of their lives irrevocably.
Not since 2006’s Oscar-nominated Pan’s Labyrinth has del Toro been able to marry his incredible visuals with a worthwhile story. But he delivers in spades here, creating a dark fairy tale that is just as much touching and emotional as it is thrilling. It is a breathless and surprising experience that is sure to delight audiences, and is easily one of the top movies of the year. And it’s all the more special because so much of this period piece was filmed in Toronto – including at the Elgin Theatre where it will screen during TIFF.

The United States Court of Appeals paved the way on Wednesday for Argentina to raise billions of dollars to pay a group of New York hedge funds, bringing it one step closer to re-entering international markets for the first time in 15 years.
In a ruling from the bench, three judges on the court of appeals in New York upheld a ruling by Judge Thomas P. Griesa of the United States District Court in Manhattan to lift an injunction that had barred Argentina from paying its creditors and eventually led the country to default in 2014.
The ruling caps years of bitter legal wrangling that goes back to 2001, when Argentina defaulted on nearly $100 billion of bonds. A small group of holdout investors, including the hedge fund billionaire Paul E. Singer, refused to take part in two debt restructurings by Argentina since then.
In March, the United States government weighed in on the battle, lending its support to Argentina in a “friend of the court” or amicus curiae brief.
Argentina is now poised to raise more than $12 billion through bond sales, the proceeds of which will pay its holdout creditors. Top officials from Argentina will travel to New York and other American cities this week to meet with potential investors.
“This is going to be settled next week,” Alfonso Prat-Gay, Argentina’s economy minister, told journalists in New York, where he is pitching Argentina’s multibillion bond sale to investors, according to news media reports in Argentina. Mr. Prat-Gay, according to the reports, said Argentina would issue the bonds on Monday and Tuesday and that the holdout creditors would receive payment by Friday.
On Feb. 29, Argentina agreed to pay $4.65 billion to four hedge funds including Mr. Singer’s NML Capital. As part of the deal, Argentina’s Legislature had to repeal domestic laws that prevented the government from paying the holdouts, which it has now done. Argentina was also required to pay the investors by April 14, after which the hedge funds could walk away from the deal.
During the nearly two-hour hearing on Wednesday morning, lawyers for some of the hedge funds explained that they would be willing to extend the deadline by a few days since Argentina would probably not be able to raise all the money by the original deadline.
Argentina asked that Judge Griesa’s original injunction be lifted after it made an offer to pay $6.5 billion to settle lawsuits from other holdout bondholders on Feb. 5. There are still some disgruntled bondholders who were not part of the $4.65 billion deal with the four hedge funds. They have argued that they will receive far worse terms if they agree to Argentina’s $6.5 billion proposal.

Home Blog Is Twitter Changing Law Enforcement?
An up and coming reporter, Dale Carruthers, wrote a popular editorial last week in the London Free Press titled, Drivers use Twitter to give cops the bird.
This story started when Carruthers observed a growing number of Twitter users tweeting out locations of RIDE programs across Ontario in hopes of warning other citizens.
On an ethical note, I’m not in favour of this dubious act. I’ve always been of the mindset that it’s safer for all if law enforcement can do their duty.
Ethics aside, Twitter provides the perfect communications platform to perform such an exercise.
When you think about it, what other communications platform exists in which anyone can read communications created by citizens, quickly, on their mobile phones, and in real-time?
Even Facebook.com, is limited in that you can only read communications from your friends or mutual groups/pages you’re connected to.
Twitter, on the other hand, can connect a nation(s) through a simple #hashtag.
This isn’t the first time this problem has arisen.
Earlier this year, a Pakistani twitter user unknowingly tweeted out, minute-by-minute, the US military assassination attack on Osama Bin Ladin.
The Twitter user was tweeting out complaints about hearing a helicopter overhead. His tweets could have put the entire attack at risk, if only Bin Ladin’s guards were monitoring the social web.
Twitter and other forms of social media will continue to challenge the way our society, and especially law enforcement is setup.
Predictably, some opponents will try to pass laws that prohibit such actions. However, these exercises in law don’t come without their opposition or challenges either (think of all the issues Copyrighting enforcement advocates are having right now).
Does society try to force people (sometimes through legal action) to behave in a pre-digital way, or is it the government’s job to evolve their own practices and actions to mold inside of our digitized civilization?
I certainly know the latter is more uncomfortable but democratically liberating than the former.

This is good stuff E! I have a cousin with twin boys, with one being autistic. They’re now 17 years old and it has been quite an experience for their parents over the years. The autistic son has made great progress due to their dedicated parents taking time to educate themselves. My heart goes out to families who live this daily.
I agree, it demands incredible and relentless dedication on mom and dad’s part to make sure theae kids get the best chance. Thanks for your comment!
My niece, nephew and I (as well as my other staff who work kids with autism) were volunteering at this event and you made such an impact with my niece. I’m a beginner at crossfit and I’ve shown videos of you and others at regionals and tried to explain the sport to them, but it would come across as just “uh that’s scary”. However; as they watched you and all the other athletes over the weekend, it’s propelled them to get involved in the sport. In addition, my niece is mixed (African american, Mexican and white), so meeting and seeing you interact, help and compete helped her find that positive role model that she can relate to. She’s really excited. Thank you for coming to support this great cause, encouraging health, athleticism and positive community involvement. PS. my bff is the one who picked you up at the airport. Best wishes.

In 1987, the Presley Company began sales of the first phase of the master planned community of Sun Lakes Country Club. After more than 10 years of building and continual new sales, Pulte Homes purchased the project and finished the remaining unbuilt homes in 2003.

According to the CC&R’s, Sun Lakes is a Senior Adult Residential Community. Each property shall be occupied by at least one resident who is 55 years old or older. All additional occupants must be at least 45 years old or meet the following criteria: Persons under the age of 45 only if they have an ownership interest or are in expectation of an ownership interest in the property and are in one of the following categories: a spouse; a cohabitant; a financial care provider; or a physical care provider.
Those who do not meet the age restrictions can purchase a home in Sun Lakes but cannot occupy there until their age qualifies. All tenants are subject to the same age limitations and privileges as the owners. For those who are visiting a residence under the age of 45 who are visiting a residence for an extended period of time, cannot exceed 60 calendar days… whether consecutive or non-consecutive, in any calendar year.
This Grand Community encompasses approximately 1,000 acres with just over 3300 homesites and offers 51 different floor plans from which to choose. The smallest condo is approximately 850 sf, while the largest home is just over 2600 sf.
Every Sun Lakes purchaser will pay a one-time non-transferable fee of $950.00 per lot before the close of escrow for the social membership of Sun Lakes Country Club. All homeowners pay a monthly fee of $257 to the Master Association for the maintenance of the 3 clubhouses, restaurants, 3 pools, tennis courts, private streets, 24 hour guard gated entrances and premier cable TV service with HBO and Showtime. A new homeowner will also be charged a $275 transfer fee which will cover the transfer of that property address to the new owner. A gate transponder will need to be purchased at a cost of $40 for each car and golf cart.
If you prefer a low maintenance lifestyle, you may want to purchase a condominium in one of the three sub-associations. The monthly sub-association fees are $145.00 (Lakeside I), $144.00 (Lakeside II), or $141.00 (Fairway Villas) which will cover outside maintenance of the structure, landscape maintenance, insurance on the buildings and upkeep of the exclusive pool and spa which are to be used by condo and townhome residents only. The total association fee would then equal $402.00, $401.00 or $398.00 respectively.
Our temperate climate is that of the high desert at 2390 foot elevation. Both daytime and night temperatures are comfortable throughout the year.
We are approximately 15 degrees cooler than Palm Springs in the summer with cool nights and constant breezes. In the winter months, the air is crisp and the surrounding mountains of Mt. San Gorgonio and Mt. San Jacinto are absolutely stunning with winter snow on their peaks.
Banning, California is a growing Southern California community. Incorporated in 1913, the city was estimated to have over 29,000 inhabitants in 2006. Located along Interstate 10 between Redlands and Palm Springs in the San Gorgonio Pass, the City of Banning has an elevation of approximately 2357 feet. The community is well known for its wide open space and beautiful backdrop because of the surrounding mountains of San Gorgonio and San Jacinto, two of the tallest mountain peaks in Southern California. This rural community enjoys a quiet lifestyle, healthful clean air, nearby outdoor activities and is in close proximity to the first class Casino Morongo and the Cabazon designer outlet shopping mall.
Banning was known as “Stagecoach Town, USA” as the town was ultimately used as a stage stop en route to the Colorado River in 1862. The route ran through the foothills a half-mile north of downtown Banning, then north of Cabazon and Whitewater, which was the last stop before reaching Palm Springs (Dos Palmas). The railroad replaced the stagecoach in 1876 and was a major contributor to the areas growth. The communitiy still celebrates its history as a stagecoach town with its annual Stagecoach Days Celebration featuring a parade, carnival and rodeo.
The City is said to be named in honor of General Phineas Banning, who freighted over the Mormon Trail from Salt Lake City to San Bernardino and Los Angeles. He operated the stage line from Wilmington to Yuma through the Banning/San Gorgonio Pass.
Banning is positioned 33.93 degrees north of the equator and 116.89 degrees west of the prime meridian.
Banning elevation is approximately 2,400 feet above sea level.

A Besra in GTA Vice City.
The Western Besra is an unarmed military training jet, referred to as a Jet by JT Boyd, appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online with the San Andreas Flight School Update. It is likely based around the P-996 LAZER without the mounted weapons.
The Besra can be found at Sandy Shores Airfield (playing as Trevor Philips) or the player-owned hangar at Los Santos International Airport (playing as Franklin Clinton and Michael De Santa).
The Besra can be purchased from Elitastravel.com for $1,500,000.
The Besra, like the P-966 LAZER, has an ejector seat. The seat, however, does not eject from the aircraft with the player.
The Besra is the fastest aircraft in GTA V.

I see a lot of my teaching style in her. She teaches every student and holds all of them accountable for their behavior as well as their academics. She is also the peace maker in our family, which I often am due to being the youngest brother. My dad was a middle school teacher for 30+ years. He is presently retired and is loving it. He taught everything from science to social studies. He loved teaching children and has a real passion for helping people He is also a pastor of a small local church. Don’t tell him I said it, but I see a lot of me in him. He made sure his students felt that he genuinely cared about them outside of the classroom. My two older brothers both teach at the high school level. My oldest brother taught math at the public school level for 15 + years and presently teaches everything from Pre-Algebra to Pre-Calculus at Covenant Academy. He has a tremendous passion for helping others. He is a jack of all trades and I have learned a lot from him on not just how to teach math, but also other valuable skills that school can’t teach you. My other bother also started out in the public school, but he currently teaches science and is the Headmaster at Covenant Academy. He is the creative one in the family and has an ability to make science fun to his students which is often a difficult thing to do. As all of my family, he also has a tremendous passion for helping young people. He and I also coach basketball at Covenant Academy from the elementary level to the high school level. It is a lot of fun coaching with him even if we disagree at times. I guess you could say we are a very usual family, but it is very evident that we really love helping people.
When I was in college and had to decide on a major there really wasn’t a question on what I wanted to do. The only question for me was what level of education to go into. After a lot of thought, I came to the conclusion that it was better fit for teaching high school math. I have always been intrigued about math and had a lot of good math teachers when I was in school. Over the years, I have learned that education is an ever evolving professional but students have really no changed that much. The challenge is adapting to the way they learn and making it relevant to their lives. I truly believe that school is about helping our students create good habits that will help them become successful while they are in school but, more importantly, when they get out of school.

Marks Auto Service was formed in 1949 as a Radiator Repair Shop by Sam Butitta. In the late 1970’s, Sam’s son Mark joined the company. Originally located in downtown Rockford on Madison Street. “Rockford Radiator” was founded on quality repairs, cleanliness, and legendary service. In 1984 the company moved to a 15,000 square foot facility on South Alpine Road. As Rockford Radiator continued to grow, we expanded our service and facility to accommodate all automotive and truck repairs and took on the new name of Mark Butitta Automotive. Fast forward to 2012, under Marks ownership, we re-branded as Marks Auto Service. This is also when Mark brought his son, Tad Butitta, back into the family business.
Marks Auto Service is proudly run by a third generation owner, Tad Butitta. Tad began working for the company in the late 90’s. After realizing his passion was in customer service, over mechanics, Tad left the family business to work in big box retail stores. In 2012 Tad returned to the business as General Manager and helped it grow to the proud company it is today. The customer support staff of Marks Auto Service offers extensive knowledge and experience while holding strong to the beliefs of the company was founded on almost 70 years ago. In late 2017, Marks Auto Service made the jump to a second location on Loves Park, with future plans to continued growth.

Syria's presence on the Internet suddenly went dark for around 40 minutes on 19 July, Net analysis firm Renesys has reported.
Exactly what happened between 13.32UTC and 14.42UTC on Thursday is as unclear as almost everything else that occurs in a country in a state of near civil war but the brief disconnection was highly unusual from national domains that have recently been stable.
What Renesys means by disconnection is that networks routed through Syrian Telecommunications Establishment were “withdrawn” from the global routing table, leaving only five of sixty-one Syrian prefixes available.
The five that remained turned out to be controlled by Indian company Tata which has a presence in the region meaning that all Syrian-directed domains were unavailable.
There has only been one previous outage on this scale but that lasted only minutes in October 2011, Renesys said, with a second in June 2011 disrupting only parts of the Syrian system since then.
The most likely cause of the disappearance is likely to have been Syrian Government action.
“Interestingly enough, among the websites hosted in these networks is one providing a fake Skype encryption tool, purportedly targeting Syrian opposition activists,” noted Renesys.
Among a number of under-pressure Governments in the region, Syria has tended to allow Internet connectivity to continue despite it being used as a conduit for negative video footage.
Such images benefit dissidents but keeping the Internet also benefits the regime which has launched waves of malware attacks on the opposition forces using the Trojans mentioned by Renesys.

text: The score probably sent shockwaves throughout the KJCCC. Seward won the game, but barely against improving Colby. The Saints led by as many as 17 (45-28) and led by nine with about 4:30 to play but needed a clutch Marquez Patterson three pointer and a defensive stand to beat Colby for a 10th consecutive time. The Saints led 35-24 at halftime. Seward’s shooting bailed them out after an 8-16 three point shooting night including 6-11 in the first half. Seward trailed 64-63 until Patterson’s three made it 66-64 with 30 seconds to go. Jeremy Jones scored 16 points and dished four assists. Marquez Patterson added 13 points. Seward is 14-3 overall and 2-1 in the Jayhawk West while the Trojans fall to 10-7 overall and 1-2 in the Jayhawk West. The Saints host Pratt Saturday night in the Green House at 8 p.m. on B107.5 and kscbnews.net.

In the article suggesting the best way to learn endgame tactics, we laid more stress on endgame plays by top players than on chess problems and chess studies. But at the same time, we pointed out that some of these problems and studies could benefit you in developing ideas on some finer endgame tactics like “underpromotion”, gaining tempo etc., some of which may appear in the same problem or study.
Here we will show you some creative ideas that can stand you in good stead in your actual endgame plays.
Even with the first move applied to White K to chase the Black RP, it will remain two moves outside ‘the Square’ for that pawn. So if Black continues to push RP, White K will only be on rank 3 when RP reaches h1 to get promoted.
When White K reaches g3 (after Black RP has reached h1 to become a Queen), Black on his next move cannot deliver a check by his Q with support from his K because of the White R controlling rank 2. Black thus loses a tempo!
White on the next move can deliver check by Ra1 and because of his K on g3, will cause checkmate! If on the previous move, Black tried Kf1, then check by Rook will result in his loss of Q!
At step 3, Black Q could go to h8 to control a1-h8 diagonal and the square a1 preventing Rook’s check (and thus retaining the tempo) – provided there were no Black P on g7 blocking that diagonal!
The conclusion is: White K must not capture the NP at step 2 so as to deny Black any tempo after pawn promotion, which in turn gives him the tempo for delivering checkmate or capturing Black Q!
Once you have understood the idea, the sequence of moves become clear.
But Black had a resource that would make White’s win extremely difficult. This comes out of an attempt to gain tempo as shown below!
5. Kg3 h1=N+ The under-promotion to Knight gains tempo for Black as White K has to move. White’s K and R against Black’s K and N gives difficult theoretical win for White.
The above is a study by Lasker but this type of Rook and Pawn ending may come up in actual play. So you should note in the following moves how White combines ‘opposition’ by his King and check by his Rook to push White King away from Black’s QBP while not allowing Black to give check along any row.
In our article 7 ways chess is beneficial to your mind, the first point was related to memory. We explained how the mental exercise to remember openings and their varitions or tactical issues in middle and endgames and so on help to build up our memory. How about the reverse? Obviously, the better memmory you have, the more you can recollect moves played by you or others in certain situations. These ultimately constitute your experience and we all know that experienced players tend to have an edge over the amateurs.
But the problem is: how much can you remember of all the games that have been played over centuries? So our aim is to understand the pattern or position on the chessboard where certain tactics can be employed. To give a more specific example, let us consider the subject of ‘pins’. These may come in all ‘shapes and sizes’ meaning that they may be along ranks or files or diagonals, the pieces involved may be different in different situations etc. but you do not have to remember all those specific situations. Once you understand how it occurs, you can detect the possibility of a pin by looking at the pieces on the chessboard. The same thing holds good for other tactical weapons in chess.
You may therefore wonder how very experienced players even of Grandmaster level still fall prey to such tactics like a pin. So most likely reason could be a partial blindness arising out of intense focus on one’s own plans or on a particular area of the chessboard, which prevents one from seeing what else is happening on the board. And this is something that affects the Grandmasters also, if you take a look at the following positions.
In this diagram, we will refer to the situation on the left as position 1 and that on the right as position 2.
Position 1 occurred after Black’s 26th move in a game played in 1906 between Mikhail Chigorin (or Tchigorin) as White and Akiba Rubinstein as Black. Chigorin was one of the top players from Russia in later part of 19th century and was a contender for World Championship against Steinitz (but remained unsuccessful). Rubinstein was a Polish Grandmaster of high ranking and regarded as one of the best endgame players of all time.
Position 2 occurred after White’s 39th move in a game played in 1946 between Erik Lundin as White and Vasily Smyslov as Black. Lundin was a Grandmaster who was Swedish champion ten times. Smyslov was a Russian Grandmaster who became World Champion in 1957.
Do you find some similarity between these two positions separated by a period of 40 years? No? Compare the top right half of Position 1 and bottom right half of Position 2 – do you see it now after reversing the colors of pieces and squares? I presume you do.
What was the outcome of these two games after reaching almost identical positions? In Position 1, Chigorin played 27. Rf7 whereupon Black resigned as he has to give up his Queen against Rook to avoid checkmate.
In Position 2, Smyslov could not find(!) this move and played 39. … Nf2+ (instead of Rf2 that would win) after which both players agreed to a draw!
So a future World Champion missed a winning line that was shown 40 years earlier by another World Champion aspirant! If you ever overlook a winning line, analyze what made you do so to guard against future mistakes.
Chess tactics: Which masters to study?
There is no doubt about the necessity to become familiar with the elements of a combination which we understand as chess tactics. In the article gameplan part2, we have listed the elements for you to find examples on each item and study those thoroughly to build up your repertoire. However good you may be in chess strategy and planning your game, you need to employ tactics to give effect to those.
So the question in any beginner’s mind will be: how do I learn to use chess tactics? My answer will be: after you know the elements, study the games of chess masters who excel in combinational play and chess tactics. That is why we have already shown you many such games where the tactics reigned supreme. There are quite a good number of articles at this site and trying to put a link to all those will clutter up this article. You have to search those out through the site map.
No one has ever played chess like Adolph Anderssen, nor won as much fame and glory for his charismatic style. Anderssen’s hallmark is the direct (and often spectacular!) Kingside attack.
The main contestants of his time like Tarrasch and Janowski complained that they could not understand his play and implied that Lasker’s success was due to dubious tricks. Fact is, Lasker was much ahead of his time in his style of play, which found acceptance with later generation of players.
He earned a lot of brilliancy prizes by virtue of his daring gambits and sacrificial play. One of his moves is held as one of the top three best moves ever played on a chessboard! Though spectators enjoyed his slash-bang techniques, purists held that some of his moves produced results by virtue of their shock value and not because of deeply calculated combinations. That may be the reason why he never became a world champion but managed to defeat all top players of his time.
He was a master of attack with beautiful ideas and brilliant daring play full of sacrifices.
He is one of the greats among world champions and was at home in different styles of play. He was a master of complex positions and well-calculated combinations. Many of his games are still analyzed and experts have not reached a common verdict because of the complexities involved.
He is one player who probably earned the maximum admiration from the contemporary greats in chess. Tal used some self-derogatory comments about his own play by saying that there were two kinds of sacrifices – the sound ones and those used by him! Botvinnik, a world champion, said that it was not possible to tackle Tal if his pieces were mobile and active with some space and that is why he used to play close positions against Tal. He went on to say that if Tal could have some self-control, it would be impossible to play against him. A player of the stature of Kramnik went so far as to say that analyzing Tal’s game was like discussing what God looked like! When you play through his games, you will wonder if those bolts from the blue were results of intuition or pre-calculated combinations!
He was a chess genius and many experts believe that had he not gone into self-exile, he could have been the undisputed top player in chess history! He has produced many beautiful games with a long combination the results of which were not easy to see even by top masters. Boris Spassky who played Fischer in the famous championship match commented that playing Fischer was not a question of your win or loss, it was a question of your survival!
Another chess genius and holds the highest ELO rating among chess Grandmasters. He is also a versatile player and can play well-calculated combinations.
Among the mew generation players, he is noted for his attacking style and creating complications that remind one of Tal, not surprisingly, because he studied under Tal.
Now you know the names of some of the chess masters who have consistently produced great combinations in their plays. But many of them have played hundreds of games, so which ones to study? Go for their best games, some compiled by other chess authors or chess masters and some by the players themselves. These books generally include about 50 to 100 of the best games in their career and studying those few is not a very massive task! Keep a note of the basic principles that have been applied or violated in these games (many brilliancies arose to exploit mistakes by the opponents). These types of controlled study will not only help you to improve your play, but will also provide enjoyment for many years to come!
In chess, a notional value is attached to all pieces other than King (which of course is priceless!) ranging from 1 for a Pawn to 9 for a Queen. In this system, Knight and Bishop are considered at par, and the other conditions prevailing on the chessboard at any point are supposed to dictate which of them has a superior value, if any. In Basic chess strategies Part 2 and Beginner’s game plan Part 2, we have discussed what conditions or factors determine the preference for one or the other.
All said and done, the balance seems to be slightly tilted in favor of Bishops. But the following game will show that with a proper supporting pawn structure, a Knight can really become a pain in the neck for the opponent.
It is also interesting to note that while Black’s pawn structure enables his KN to take up a menacing role, it makes White’s KN an impotent piece as it cannot find a proper foothold to operate effectively! While enjoying the game, you should make it a point to study how you can make your Knight to show up in shining armor!
43. Resigns If 43. Kxc2 Rc3+ 44. Kd2 Rxc1 45. Kxc1 Ke3 or 43. Kxe2 Kc3 followed by 44. … Rd8 and 45. … Kb2 gives a win.
In the previous article, we suggested that by analyzing notable endgames as played by chess masters, you keep learning the finer points of endgame tactics. We are showing you two positions where you can see how sacrificial attacks can be launched against the King’s position.
In the first game, both Kings are relatively exposed but one player took advantage of it. While his opponent got a pawn promoted to Queen, he got his pawn promoted to a knight after making some sacrifices to create the opportunity! Though relatively rare, the use of under-promotion may be the only technique to win in some tight situations and you should keep this in mind as a possible tool to use. In the second game, one player used threats on both wings to pry open a fairly locked position, taking advantage of ‘overload’ on an enemy piece, the King itself!
What a beautiful combination! And does it violate the premise in endgame tactics that King and two Knights cannot deliver checkmate to a lone King (here it has a Queen and two pawns!)?
6. Resigns White King had too much on its hand! If it moves to block Black’s RP, Black captures the Bishop and promotes his f3 pawn. If White King does not leave its post, Black’s RP queens!
In the following game, in an equal position, White noted Black King’s cramped position. He exploited it by a remarkable Queen sacrifice followed by a quiet positional move that brings about opponent’s downfall!
3. Qxh6+ Qxh6 The Queen offer had to be taken as otherwise Black would lose his own Queen!
