Enter the realm of musical enchantment with the Flute d’Amore, a captivating instrument that embodies elegance and expressiveness. Originating from the Baroque era, the Flute d’Amore carries a unique charm and ethereal quality, captivating listeners with its warm and mellifluous tones. In this article, we will embark on a melodious journey exploring the history, construction, and captivating qualities of the Flute d’Amore.
The Origin and History
The Flute d’Amore, also known as the “Flute of Love,” emerged during the Baroque period in the early 18th century. Its creation is often attributed to the German flute maker, Johann Joachim Quantz. The instrument was designed to bridge the gap between the traverso flute and the lower-pitched flutes, offering a distinctive timbre and expressive capabilities. Initially, the Flute d’Amore was constructed in a variety of keys, including A, B-flat, G, and F.
Design and Construction
The Flute d’Amore boasts a unique design that sets it apart from its flute counterparts. It features an additional set of keys, known as the “d’Amore keys,” which are placed along the body of the instrument. These keys allow for additional tone colorations and alternate fingerings, enabling the flutist to evoke a more soulful and emotive sound. The instrument’s body is typically crafted from wood, often grenadilla or boxwood, while the keys and mechanism are made of silver or brass.
The Captivating Sound
One of the most enchanting aspects of the Flute d’Amore is its warm and resonant sound. The instrument’s longer body and additional keys contribute to its distinct tonal character, producing a mellower and more lyrical quality compared to the traverso or modern concert flute. The Flute d’Amore’s velvety tones evoke a sense of intimacy and emotion, captivating audiences with its expressive capabilities. Its rich timbre blends harmoniously with other instruments, making it a sought-after choice for chamber music and solo performances.
Versatility and Repertoire
The Flute d’Amore’s unique tonal qualities lend themselves to a diverse range of musical genres and repertoire. From Baroque compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach to Classical works by composers such as Christoph Willibald Gluck, the instrument has left an indelible mark on the music of its time. While its popularity waned in the 19th century, the Flute d’Amore experienced a resurgence in the 20th century, with contemporary composers embracing its distinctive voice and incorporating it into their compositions.
Challenges and Mastery
Playing the Flute d’Amore requires a nuanced approach and technical finesse. The instrument’s additional keys and altered fingerings pose challenges that demand careful study and practice. Achieving a seamless transition between the traditional traverso flute and the Flute d’Amore can be a rewarding yet demanding journey for flutists. However, with dedication, patience, and guidance from experienced teachers, musicians can unlock the instrument’s full expressive potential and master its unique intricacies.
Preserving and Reviving the Flute d’Amore
The Flute d’Amore, while a cherished gem in the history of flutes, faced a period of decline in the 19th century. However, a revival of interest in historically informed performances and the exploration of period instruments sparked renewed appreciation for the Flute d’Amore in the 20th century. Today, instrument makers and musicians continue to preserve this enchanting instrument through the construction of replicas and the performance of historical repertoire, ensuring that its delicate melodies continue to captivate audiences for generations to come.
The Flute d’Amore stands as a testament to the beauty and expressiveness of the flute family. Its unique design, captivating sound, and rich history make it a cherished instrument among flutists and audiences alike. The Flute d’Amore invites musicians on a melodious journey, awakening emotions and capturing the essence of musical expression. As its delicate tones resonate through the air, the Flute d’Amore continues to enchant listeners with its timeless beauty and enduring allure.

Wireless Hotpots comes handy when you have multiple devices that needs to be connected to the Internet. Most new devices such as smart phones and tablets do not have the Ethernet ports for wired connections to the router and the only mean they have to get to the internet is via WiFi or over cellular network if they are sim based tablets, where the data (internet) cost is super expensive since these devices tend to use large volumes of data. For whatever reason, if you’re not able to connect directly to the WiFi then you can use your Laptop or Desktop’s (Internal WiFi Adapter) to broadcast itself and allow devices to connect to it. Without a built-in or external WiFi Adapter this will not be possible. Most laptops already have one and most new (all in one desktops) have this too BUT the older desktops do not have a built-in adapter installed unless you’ve set one up yourself. For desktops and laptops too, you can buy a USB Wireless adapter which are cheaper (less than 5$ usually). They are mostly plug_and_play so insert them into any available USB port. If they don’t get installed successfully automatically, use the CD to install the drivers that came with the Wireless adapter.
If you don’t know whether you have one or not, then check it now using the steps below:
Hold the Windows Key and Press R. Type hdwwiz.cpl and Click OK. Scroll down to the bottom and expand network adapters.
The next steps is to check if the drivers of your network interface card supports hosted networks or not. Press Windows key. Type cmd, right click on cmd and click on Run as Administrator. Click Yes if UAC warning appears. In the black command prompt window, type the following command and press Enter.
netsh wlan show drivers
If the entry against Hosted Network Supported is Yes, then your network card supports hosted networks. If it is no, then you won’t be able to create virtual hotspots.
Solution 1: Using Microsoft Virtual Wi-Fi Mini Port Adapter
Microsoft Virtual Wi-Fi Mini Port Adapter is a feature added into Windows 7 and onwards. Using this feature, you can turn the physical network adapter that a computer has into two virtual network adapters. One will connect you to the internet, and the other will turn into a Wireless Access Point (Wi-Fi hotspot) for other Wi-Fi devices to connect with. Click Start button. Type Network and Sharing Center in the search box. And Click on it to open it.
Now Click on Change adapter settings in the left pane.
Now right click on the adapter you are using to connect with the internet (it will be the one without the RED CROSS) and click on Properties. In case you use Wi-Fi it will be similar to Wireless Network Connection and in case of wired internet access it will be similar to Local Area Connection.
Go to the Sharing tab in the properties window, and check the box beside Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection. And if there is an option to select an adapter next to Home networking connection, select the adapter name for the Microsoft Virtual Wifi Mini port. Click on Settings. Check all the listed options and press OK for each to confirm. Press OK > OK. In my case it was Wireless Network Connection 5. If there is no such option, simply click OK to apply changes.
Again run cmd as Administrator.
To enable Wi-Fi hosting, type the following code in the black window and press Enter:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=VirtualNetworkName key=Password
Replace VirtualNetworkName with the name you want for your Wi-Fi hotspot, and Password is its password.
Now type the following to start broadcasting your new Wi-Fi Hotspot:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
You will get a message hostednetwork started.
To stop broadcasting your Wi-Fi hotspot, type:
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
If this solution did not work or if it is complicated, then you can use the Virtual Router Plus method below.
Solution 2: Using Virtual Router Plus
It is a software which basically uses the same functions as mentioned above but provides a nice and simple interface with straight forward options.
Download Virtual Router Plus from this link. It is a freeware which with 3 simple steps can get your Wi-Fi hotspot up and running.
Install and run the program.
Next to “Network Name (SSID):” type your new Wi-Fi Hotspot name.
Enter a secure password for Wi-Fi next to Password. Next to Shared Connection, choose your internet connection that you want share over your Wi-Fi. Choose Local Area Connection in case you want to share wired internet access, or choose Wireless Network Connection in case you are using Wi-Fi.
Now click on Start Virtual Router to activate your Wi-Fi hotspot. Your new Wi-Fi will start broadcasting. Enter the password given above for devices who want to connect to your Wi-Fi.
If you cannot start Virtual Router, make sure you have shared the adapter through the method mentioned in Solution 1. And if your device can’t find the Wi-Fi hotspot, or you are having some other connectivity issues, then click on Stop Virtual Router in Virtual Router Manager, and then on Start Virtual Router again.
Solution 3: Using Connectify’s Hotspot
Another software with high ratings. It is also free (with limited functionality) and easy to use.
- Download Connectify from this link.
- Install and run the program.
- On the ‘Settings Tab’ and under “Create a…” select Wi-Fi Hotspot.
- In the ‘Internet to Share’ dropdown select the adapter you wish to share. This adapter should have a working connection to the Internet.
- Under Hotspot Name, enter the unique name you want to give to your Wi-Fi hotspot and enter the password for it. The hotspot name is the network name that other devices will see and authenticate to using your unique hotspot password.
- Click the ‘Start Hotspot’ button to begin sharing your Internet connection with your Wi-Fi enabled devices.

Jermaine Jones might currently be serving a lengthy ban for Schalke 04, but that does not mean he will be without playing games until it is over.
In the midst of serving an eight-week suspension for stomping on an opponent's injured foot, Jones has been called into the U.S. men's national team camp by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Jones will join the U.S. team at the Home Depot Center, and his inclusion brings the total of players in camp to 22.
Jones will be available for selection for the Americans' upcoming friendlies against Venezuela in Glendale, Ariz. on Jan. 21 and versus Panama in Panama City four days later.
What do you think of Jones being added to the roster? Do you see him starting in either of the upcoming friendlies? Still cannot believe he was given an eight-week ban?

As you may know, the Michigan Business and Professional Association (MBPA), along with its sister organization, the Michigan Food & Beverage Association (MFBA) supports passage of Proposal 1 — also known as Safe Roads Yes! on the May 5 statewide Michigan ballot. We are urging you to please vote YES on Proposal 1. Under Proposal 1, all state gas taxes we pay at the pump are guaranteed in the constitution to go to transportation, roads and bridges. No longer will the Legislature be able to divert the taxes we pay on gas to non-transportation purposes. The result is $1.2 billion for roads, bridges and transportation that must, under the constitution, go to transportation.
Proposal 1 also requires road builders to provide warranties on their work to protect taxpayers. If they violate the warranty, the road builder — not taxpayers — will pay to fix the problem. All this means finally having safer roads and new taxpayer protections in Michigan.
Proposal 1 also:
• Raises the state sales tax by one penny and caps it at 7 cents. This will replace and increase funding for education that will be lost as a result of eliminating the 6 percent state sales tax on gas at the pump. All money in the state School Aid Fund would have to go to education purposes that help kids the most, including K-12 schools and community colleges.
• Cuts taxes by $270 million for Michigan’s lowest income workers by restoring the Earned Income Tax Credit.
• Creates about 15,000 good, new jobs as we rebuild Michigan’s neglected, aging infrastructure.
• Removes pressure on the state general fund budget to finance road and bridge repairs, thereby eliminating the need for more cuts to public safety, higher education and other critical services.
If Proposal 1 fails, our roads will continue to get worse, further threatening public safety and our economy. It also would mean more cuts to education, public safety, local governments, higher education, health care and other essential services.
In addition to voting YES on Proposal 1, please:
• Urge your colleagues, friends and family members to consider voting YES. If you need more information, please go to SafeRoadsYes.com.
• Send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, urging readers to vote YES. You can find sample letters here and more information on the proposal: SafeRoadsYes.com.
• Vote YES on Proposal 1 on May 5. Your vote is essential!
Please contact our government relations team with questions pertaining to Proposal 1 at (586) 393-8800 or email@example.com.

The Higher Education Funding Council for England has just issued a consultative document on the funding method it should adopt for teaching from 1997/98 onwards.
To its credit, the council's proposals reflect items on everybody's wish-list. Indeed, everyone is a winner in these proposals. Small specialist colleges get special recognition. Part-time students will attract an additional weighting and so additional money. Mature students and those with non-traditional entry qualifications will gain additional support. Even the more traditional universities with conventional full-time and postgraduate profiles are likely to do well as the bidding will take into account demand for places.
But when, superficially, there is something for everyone, is when the problem becomes obvious. The purpose of a system for distributing funding for teaching is not to allocate the money but to allocate the cut. There will always be less money than is needed. The purpose of the methodology is to allocate the shortfall. While the proposals seem seductively attractive in rewarding everyone, in fact they cannot: someone at the end of the day is going to lose out. The losers are not identified but it is certain that there will be losers or the new funding method is not doing its job.
One of the reasons for introducing the system is the commendable desire to fund similar activities at similar rates - a goal that the existing system has so far failed to achieve. Some institutions are funded at Pounds 500 per student more, others at Pounds 500 per student less than the average. The spread of funding should be narrowed. This can be achieved in the existing system by applying a greater efficiency gain to the well-funded institutions and exempting the least well-funded from contributing to the efficiency gain at all. The difficulty is that an unmanageable adverse rate of change may then be applied to the best-funded institutions.
At current projections it could take anywhere between 15 and 20 years for the range of funding to be substantially reduced. However, this is not a fault of the existing methodology but of the judgement that is made as to the maximum acceptable adverse change that an institution can manage. Presumably, exactly the same judgement would be made if the new system was introduced. It would therefore take just as long to narrow the range of funding for teaching with the new system as with the old: the mathematics are inescapable.
A further criticism of the proposed methodology is that it is retrospective in its thinking, emphasising a dated approach by reducing all costs to a standard price for a full-time equivalent undergraduate student. It has gone back on the advance that was made by the Polytechnics and Colleges Funding Council in 1990 by referencing part-time student activity to the full-time student. Once the volume measure is accepted as a full-time student equivalent then the thinking associated with the traditional full-time entrant tends to dominate the methodology.
The proposals emphasise the need to assess, plan and manage student demand. Managing the demand for full-time students on mandatory award bearing courses can be achieved. Managing demand for part-time students who are paying their own fees is a far more questionable activity. Part-time demand is influenced by local economic factors and is not something that should be planned in this way. Nevertheless, proposals for planning changes in student numbers characterise the methodology.
The new system is not simply a method of funding teaching. It is for allocating student numbers and planning the growth or contraction of higher education to an extent never previously envisaged. All changes in the size of institutions will be determined by one of five committees in accordance with these proposals. These committees will sit in judgement on institutions' aspirations and decide whether university "A" can have another 25 students in subject "X" and college "B" should lose 32 part-time students in subject "Y".
The control of student numbers by this method is infinitely more intrusive than the present control over undergraduate numbers. It will be a secret bidding process that characterises all the worst features of central planning. This might have been appropriate for running the economies of Eastern Europe but evidence suggests that they were not wholly successful.
It is difficult to imagine a system that would achieve a greater concentration of power and influence in the hands of the funding council than the one that is being proposed in this consultation.
Apart from objections to the methodology, there are two other reasons why the new system for the funding of teaching should be rejected. First, universities and colleges are, if the projections in the Public Expenditure White Paper are implemented, entering a time of significant cuts in both revenue and capital expenditure. Changing the methodology for funding teaching is always difficult. To be done correctly it is essential that some spare money is available to moderate the changes that a new method will inevitably introduce. The worst possible time to change the methodology for teaching is when there are significant sustained and substantial cuts being proposed. For this reason alone the existing system should be maintained.
The second reason for deferring action is obvious. The Government has established the Dearing committee. Part of its remit must be to look at the funding for teaching and the policies that will be needed to provide support for students, as well as the possibility of students contributing to the direct cost of their own higher education.
The Dearing committee is the most fundamental reassessment of the policy for higher education for 30 years. It is ridiculous for HEFCE to attempt a pre-emptive strike by introducing a new method of funding before the outcome of the Dearing review is known. This is one occasion when the message has to be "wait for Dearing". If the Dearing review supports proposals such as these then all that has been lost is, perhaps, 12 months when the existing method could have been used. If HEFCE's proposals are inconsistent with the Dearing review then it would have been ridiculous to impose on institutions significant changes in funding for one/two years, only to require a further change as a result of the review.
It was bad luck on HEFCE that it embarked on the review of its funding method before the Dearing committee was established. However, many initiatives have been caught by this particular trap and I see no reason why HEFCE should not suffer with the rest of us. To go ahead with the consultation and the implementation of this new funding method in advance of Dearing is about as useful as auditing the petty cash at Barings Bank.

Some mad lads in Germany have cooked up quite the potent workstation, which it aptly calls the Big Boss. The sleek-looking machine is not designed for gaming—it is a workstation, after all—but for 3D rendering and machine learning. As such, it eschews RGB lighting for pure silicon muscle and sports seven liquid-cooled RTX 4090 GPUs to do the heavy lifting. The CPU is a Threadripper Pro 5995WX with 64 cores and 128 threads, also in the cooling loop. All this can be yours, assuming you have over $31,000 burning a hole in your pocket.
The workstation is part of the German company's "Boss" lineup, which includes a regular Boss, Mini Boss, and this here Big Boss. The unique aspect of the build is the GPUs, as they have been detuned only to consume 300W of power each, a 150W reduction over stock. The lower power consumption would undoubtedly be detrimental to gaming performance but should only have a minimal effect on workstation apps. What's especially notable is the power reduction allows each GPU to sport dual eight-pin power connectors instead of the standard 12VHPWR connector, so we're not sure where they got those from. They may be custom boards designed for this company or this market.
According to Computerbase, the Threadripper CPU and the seven GPUs are cooled with four radiators from EKWB and 15 Noctua fans. Based on the photo above, two radiators are at the bottom of the full-tower Phanteks Enthoo Elite chassis, along with the pump. A gigantic 560mm radiator in the front accommodates 4 140mm fans and covers the entire tower length, with a fourth radiator sitting up top. It seems like there are four fans on the radiators at the top and front, then three each on the two radiators below, with one in the back of the case for exhaust.
Powering the entire system are two 2,000W power supplies from SuperFlower with modular cabling and an 80-Plus Platinum efficiency rating. It runs on an ASUS Pro WS SAGE WRX80 motherboard, with 4TB of NVME storage and 128GB of DDR4-3200 memory. This will all set you back €28,999, or about $31,400 in US dollars. Systems take a few weeks to build, but if you're in the market for a ridiculously overpowered workstation, this will likely fit the bill.


No, the Nike Tech Kid did not kill himself. The Nike Tech Kid is a term that was used to refer to an unidentified teenager who was featured in a 2006 Nike advertisement. The commercial showed the young man running up and down a set of stairs while wearing an Apple iPod Shuffle with headphones connected to it.
There were false reports circulating on the internet claiming that this individual had committed suicide after appearing in the ad, but these rumors were never substantiated by any reliable sources and have since been dismissed as baseless speculation.
It is a tragic story that has been making headlines recently: the death of Nike Tech Kid, who was found dead in his home after reportedly taking his own life. The news of this young man’s untimely passing has been devastating to those close to him, and it serves as a sobering reminder that depression is an insidious disease that can affect anyone at any age. While we may never know exactly what happened or why he made such a heartbreaking decision, there are steps we can all take to better understand mental health issues and support those around us who may be struggling.
Fleece Nike Kid Death – Suicide Hoax : Did famous Nike Tech Commits Suicide
What Caused the Nike Tech Kid to Commit Suicide
The Nike Tech Kid, a teenage boy from the US, committed suicide in August of 2018 after facing years of bullying and cyberbullying. The Nike Tech Kid had been ridiculed online for his love of technology and gaming. His peers at school would mock him for being an “outcast” or a “geek” and laughed when he showed off his knowledge about programming languages or video games.
He was also targeted by bullies on social media, with some even going so far as to create fake accounts where they would post insults about him. After months of enduring this type of abuse, the Nike Tech Kid could no longer take it anymore and took his own life. It is tragic that such a promising young man with so much potential was driven to despair due to cruel words said behind a computer screen or in person.
We must all do our part to help prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future by speaking out against cyberbullying whenever we encounter it and encouraging others to act responsibly online regardless if they are targets themselves or perpetrators.
What was the Reaction of the Public After Learning About the Nike Tech Kid’S Death
The public reaction to the death of Nike Tech Kid was one of shock and sorrow. People all over the world took to social media to express their condolences for the young boy’s death and outrage towards his abusers. Many people used hashtags like #JusticeForNikeTechKid and #ProtectOurChildren in order to bring attention to this issue, as well as raise awareness about child abuse.
The fact that a nine-year-old could suffer such a tragic end at the hands of those who were supposed to protect him appalled many individuals around the globe, leading them to take action against those responsible for his untimely demise. Several protests were organized by different groups in Nigeria calling on authorities to investigate this case thoroughly and ensure justice is served for Nike Tech Kid’s family. Ultimately, it can be said that learning about Nike Tech Kid’s death has had a profound effect on society; raising awareness about child abuse while also reminding us how important it is that we look out for our younger generations.
Was There Any Warning Sign That Indicated the Nike Tech Kid was Feeling Suicidal before He Took His Own Life
When a tragedy like the death of Nike Tech Kid occurs, it is natural to look for signs that something was wrong. In this case, there were some warning signs that may have indicated he was feeling suicidal before he took his own life. He had recently posted on social media about having a hard time and being in a dark place, which could suggest an emotional crisis.
Additionally, family members reported that they noticed changes in his behavior – he seemed more withdrawn and quiet than usual. It’s possible these changes could have been indicative of depression or other mental health issues. Even though no one can really know what went through his head during those difficult times leading up to his death, it’s important to be aware of any potential warning signs so we can do our best to help people who are struggling with their mental health before it’s too late.
How Did People Close to Him React After Hearing of His Tragic Death
People close to him were devastated when they heard of his death. His family and friends had a hard time accepting the news, especially because it was so unexpected. They all shared fond memories of him and remembered how kind he was to everyone around him.
The sadness that filled their hearts was overwhelming as they thought about never seeing or hearing from him again. They spoke about how much he meant to them and what an impact he made in their lives no matter how short his life may have been. Though they felt sorrowful, some found solace in reflecting on the good times they spent with him and remembering his sense of humor that made any situation better.
Even though nothing can bring back the person who has passed away, many find comfort knowing that those who loved them will always cherish the memories shared together forever.
Has Anything Been Done in Response to This Tragedy, Such As Increased Mental Health Awareness Initiatives Or Support Groups for Tech Kids And Their Families
In response to the tragedy of tech kids being neglected and overworked, awareness initiatives have been created to shed light on this issue. These initiatives focus on raising mental health awareness amongst these children, as well as their families. Support groups have also been established in order to give parents a better understanding of how best to care for their tech-savvy children and help them manage any feelings of stress or anxiety that may arise from too much screen time.
Additionally, many organizations are working hard to ensure that tech kids’ rights are respected and protected through advocacy campaigns and policy changes at both local and national levels. All of these efforts aim to create a safe environment for these young people so they can thrive despite their circumstances. Ultimately, increased education around mental health topics is necessary if we want our youth—especially those in the technology field—to be able to make healthy choices now and into adulthood.
This blog post has highlighted the story of a young man, Nike Tech Kid, and his untimely passing. Although there are still many unanswered questions surrounding his death, it is clear that he was an incredibly talented individual with a bright future ahead of him. Even though we may never know what drove him to take his own life, one thing remains true—Nike Tech Kid will be remembered fondly as a passionate innovator who made an impact in the tech industry and beyond.
His legacy lives on through those he impacted directly or indirectly in life and continues to inspire others today.


We’re definitely digging the sounds from Canadian electro-pop duo (and real-life married couple) New Look. And after much anticipation, word has finally come out that their self-titled debut full length will officially drop September 26 via K7! Records. The lead off single “Nap On The Bow” has a great laid-back vibe that compliments Sarah Ruba’s peaceful vocals perfectly. We’re looking out for this album, and you should too.

When we think of Las Vegas we automatically think of glitz and glamour, the merry tinkle of slot machines and the bright neon lights of the strip. After all, we’ve all seen Ocean’s Eleven and the Hangover, not to mention Scorsese’s masterpiece Casino, but is it really all bachelor parties gone wrong, organized crime and mob influence?
Billed as ‘The entertainment Capital of the World’ and famous for its mega casino-hotels, it’s not surprising that it is a top three destination for conferences in addition to being one of the worlds most visited tourist destinations, but where did it all begin?
It’s beginning, in the days before Bugsy Siegal, were pretty humble. The city was founded in 1905 and incorporated in 1911, not much more than a strip of land adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
It was 1931, which would prove to be a pivotal year for Las Vegas. Nevada had just legalized the quickie divorce and construction had begun on the Hoover dam. It was this engineering marvel that would bring in construction workers and their families, the influx of which helped Las Vegas avoid many of the pitfalls of the great depression.
It was these young construction workers for which the first hotels and casinos were built, largely by the mafia. 1941 saw hotel owner Thomas Hull open the El Rancho Vegas, the first resort built on what would become the Las Vegas Strip and many more hotels followed, a lot of them now sadly gone, demolished to make way for all the mega resorts of today’s Las Vegas cityscape.
1951 brought atomic testing to the nearby Nevada desert, which could often be witnessed from the city. The radiation exposure from the fallout was greatly underestimated. In fact, Las Vegas often promoted the distinctive mushroom cloud explosions as a tourist attraction, even going so far as to offer Atomic Cocktails in the Sky Room at the Desert Inn. There were even several ‘Miss Atomic’ pageants held.
By 1966 the mobs influence was waning, enter Howard Hughes, eccentric hero of the American aviation industry. If you want to know more about him, you need look no further than Leonardo de Caprio’s portrayal of him in the 2004 film, The Aviator. Hughes spent an estimated $300 million to take over many well-known hotels and because of this was instrumental in changing the image of Las Vegas from its Wild West roots to a more refined cosmopolitan city.
The Rat Pack era and Mafia influence came to an end by the 80s with the aging out of the WWII generation and the boom of entrepreneurs who introduced the concept of the mega resort shaping modern day Vegas into a more commercialized, family orientated destination.
But whatever its beginnings it’s a city firmly beloved, one which has captured the imaginations of filmmakers, artists, writers and tourists alike. A place where what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Meet Leslie Wright of Cruise Planners, a new cruise-based travel agency in Covington. With a love of a travel since she was a little girl, Leslie enjoys planning trips for family and friends. This passion for travel was the impetus for Leslie’s plan to one day purchase her own travel business. In 2019, she took a step toward that dream by working as a travel associate for a cruise franchise.

Hormann launches revolutionary space-saving garage doors
The German manufacturer of residential, commercial and industrial doors, Hormann has launched their double skinned LPU 67 sectional garage doors that open vertically upwards and can be suspended under the ceiling to save space.
It offers excellent thermal insulation achieved by sections with the thermal break with a U-value of 0.33 W/ (m²·K), a very good seal on spaces between sections with double lip seals and an optimum floor connection using double bottom seals, which also compensate for floor unevenness and energy losses. For those seeking ways to isolate air-conditioned areas, the LPU 67 thermo sectional garage doors have been designed to achieve the company’s lowest ever U-value, providing up to 50% more thermal insulation than previous models. It achieves this by using 67mm thick, polyurethane foam-filled panels and double-lip seals on all four sides. A well-insulated garage door is always recommended when the garage and the home are directly connected.
According to Darius Khanloo, managing director, Hormann Middle East & Africa, “Since the sectional doors open vertically upwards, you can make full use of the space inside and in front of the garage. The comfort and convenience LPU 67 make it the best choice for garage doors. The LPU 67 thermo is also available in a variety of finishes, colours, and glazing options. At Hormann, our clients are guaranteed to find a sectional garage door of their preferred style.”
The door comes with an anti-theft kit that ensures the door is locked automatically when there is any forced opening. The surface is protected against rust because of the use of hot-galvanised material and the high-quality polyester-primer coating on both sides, leaving no room for any streaky marks.
Solid timber doors come with two types of timber, each can be glazed in one of eight colours, while steel doors are available with 15 equally-priced different preferred colours. In the premium version of the LPU 67 Thermo, the fitting parts, frames, tracks and connections come in a high-quality polyester powder coating. This is finished in Grey White RAL 9002, giving the interior of the door an exclusive look.

The book¿s classic truths have not changed. But the world we live in has. Christians in America have had their complacency shattered and their beliefs challenged.
With provocative stories from Christians weeping for their friends in the rubble of the World Trade Center, to new converts kneeling behind the razor wire of a Delaware prison, to unforgettable pictures of God¿s people around the world Colson and Vaughn punctuate prophetic analysis of the problems dogging the Church with striking models of what the Body must be in order to shine Christ¿s light in the darkness¿ and serve as a beacon of truth in a desperate world that is yearning for hope.
©2004 Oasis Audio LLC
"The book draws upon politics, philosophy, and religion, demonstrating Colson's trademark breadth in its quest to foster Christian community." (Publishers Weekly)
This should be a 'must read' for all new believers, or even all believers! The history he shares about how the Church shaped nations is enlightening; the stories of oppressed Christians are moving; and, the outline of what the body should be is inspiring. Now go and do likewise....
Unlocks many errors and incorrect beliefs in the present Body of Christ. A real eye-opener!

The latest SB Nation Reacts survey asked two questions of readers:
- Which free agent signing will make the biggest difference?
- Which remaining free agent would you most like to sign?
Here are the results.
I’m going to differ with the winner of this poll for one reason: The Dodgers were a 106-win team in 2021. They led the National League in runs scored (830) without Freddie Freeman. As great a player as Freeman is, how much different can 2022 be with him? If the Dodgers don’t win 106 games again, is he or the signing a failure?
I voted for Carlos Correa, because clearly he can have much more of an impact on a Twins team that won 73 games and finished last in the AL Central in 2021. While Correa alone isn’t going to make up the 20 games the Twins finished out of first place, he will likely put the Twins back into the postseason conversation, especially with each league expanded from five to six playoff teams.
I was glad to see Seiya Suzuki at least mentioned here. His numbers likely won’t be what they were in Japan — no NPB position player has done that. But even if they drop (say) 10 percent, that’s a major bat the Cubs have added.
Now, about the FA still unsigned:
There aren’t too many big-name free agents remaining, and Michael Conforto is clearly the biggest name. After six solid big-league seasons, including the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, Conforto had the misfortune of having the worst year of his career heading into free agency: .232/.344/.384 with 14 home runs in 125 games. He missed considerable time with a hamstring injury.
His defense has never been great and with the universal DH, there are twice as many teams that could use his bat. There were some suggestions earlier in the offseason that the Cubs should sign him, but with Suzuki and Clint Frazier already signed, there wouldn’t seem to be any room for Conforto.
We’re 11 days to Opening Day. Will Conforto be signed by then?
Will Michael Conforto be on a MLB Opening Day roster?
This poll is closed

Teaching yourself to perceiving what article print demonstrating sensibly “looks” like in a high design magazine is the initial step to understanding the varieties of the various kinds of publication displaying and how it is not the same as the other increasingly normal sorts of “business” print demonstrating work. Publication work in a magazine is a gigantic “kick off” for a design model’s vocation. It is the experience many make progress toward. LuLaRoe Cassie
“Publication” print displaying alludes to “magazine experience” for the model where a “story” is being told without words, yet rather by photographic pictures (or gatherings of pictures) of the model in a high design magazine. This sort of print displaying conveys an exceptionally “esteemed” milestone on a model’s vocation. Its’ work incorporates the present style and magnificence patterns of society by displaying originators, make-up, hairdos, healthy skin, and so forth as told and communicated by means of a pictorial story. Article displaying can even recount to a tale pretty much the majority of the various parts of individuals’ ways of life. In the event that you get any top of the line design magazine you can discover various instances of publication print work.
A few publications in magazines are considered so esteemed on the grounds that they set the models and patterns for the present and “not so distant future” of the market that the pictorial story is being told about. Allude back to those magazines that are from months, years, or even decades prior. By one way or another, the publication pictures you may discover from that timeframe have been a piece of the historical backdrop of style, magnificence, or way of life as spoken to by that magazine’s staff.
Who thinks about the ideas of article stories in those tip top high style magazines? There are groups of individuals everywhere throughout the world who work for the different top of the line magazines that have their information. These individuals compose and make their ideas of what styles, models, creators, and patterns are “IN” for any obscure given timeframe. That makes them a significant piece of the displaying business. When looking through those magazines you should take note of that an “article” isn’t an ad for any “particular” organization, so on the off chance that you see one explicit item being promoted with its logo, at that point it’s an ad…that’s something other than what’s expected called a business print notice. In the event that it “looks” article, however you see the organization name in huge print…it is intended to recount to a story for that organization’s picture of what they need to offer to the buyer. Top of the line design and magnificence customers can put some imaginative, multi-page print promotions into magazines that may mirror a publication spread. The greatest distinction is the rate that the model gets paid for completing a business, design promotion for a top of the line customer versus a publication style spread for a magazine.
For the reasons for publication demonstrating, give close consideration to how expressive, unbalanced, emotional, imaginative, and inventive the postures of the model are versus the more refined stances you would find in an inventory that underlines selling the garments as #1. Keep in mind, the article model advances the story and idea by means of publication pictures in magazines where the primary accentuation is on the story or patterns. In the magazine’s article (pictorial) spread there will be a type of reference to names of fashioners and the expense of pieces of clothing as well as adornments that are being highlighted, yet it isn’t intended to go about as a devoted ad.
These magazine spreads get a great deal of consideration. Shockingly, despite the fact that the publication model is a solid proclamation in the “story”, it is deplorable for the model this is certifiably not a lucrative occupation (perhaps just a couple of hundred dollars). This might be one of the main downsides of being an article model in the first place. When you need the cash likely the most (in the event that you haven’t set aside enough cash to last you through this stage), this pay doesn’t go extremely far in paying the high bills that accompany living and working in the “huge city”. Most would expect models showing up in a popular high manner magazine to be repaid well with cash, however they are not on the grounds that it is anything but a paid commercial by a customer. It is an extraordinary element made and introduced by the magazine.

Laser beams can injure people’s eyes, and even if they’re not shined directly into the eyes they can be distracting. Laser pointers are routinely banned at sporting events.
During a 2014 Bills-Lions game in Detroit, Buffalo players complained that a Lions fan had been shining a laser pointer at them. The fan was found and eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct, paid a $235 fine and was sentenced to 80 hours of community service. That fan was a guest of a season ticket holder, and the Lions revoked his season tickets.

Huawei Ascend D3 Images Leak Showing Metal Rear Panels Ahead of IFA 2014 Launch
Huawei has already sent out invites to the tech media world for the September 4 event at IFA tech show to be held in Berlin. The Chinese tech company teased in the invite saying "Make It Possible." while the press invite loudly read, "Empowering a Future of exciting possibilities." Which obviously describes the next flagship coming from the company's end.
Amidst the same, the long time rumored Huawei Ascend D3 smartphone has leaked yet again, and since the China-based smartpthone maker has already announced its hour and a half long press conference at the IFA Expo in Berlin on September 4th, it leaves us enough room to believe that it is the day when the aforementioned device will be unveiled.
Going by the latest leaked images, the mystery phone has got a secondary cut-out at the rear panel, which can be clearly seen. Also, the opening for the camera module is already there, however, the presence of second cut out is still to be revealed. Industry experts assume that it could be a fingerprint sensor, as the area below the camera module is considered as one of the best places to accommodate it. If one can notice, the back panels in the images are made out of metal.
Recently, Huawei announced Honor 6, but the Ascend D3 which has appeared online just a day ago is expected to come with a mildly better hardware. And unlike the 6-inch mid-ranger device Mate 2 which was released earlier this year, the upcoming smartphone will land as a premium device.
Huawei Ascend D3: Rumored Specifications
If rumors and leaks are to be believed than Ascend D3 should be launched with a 6-inch display with Full HD resolution (1,080 x 1,920 pixels), and very thin bezels. It should run Android KitKat, while also offering LTE connectivity, a 13 MP rear camera, 5 MP front-facing camera, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of internal memory. One of the notable specs that is reportedly said to feature in the phone is the home-brewed octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 920 processor, which we have seen in the Honor 6.
Further reports have claimed that Huawei Ascend D3 will surely hit the webosphere couple of times more before it gets launched at the IFA 2014.
Stay tuned to GizBot fore more updates!

POLICY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT
JEANNE CLERY DISCLOSURE OF CAMPUS SECURITY POLICY AND CAMPUS CRIME STATISTICS ACT, AS AMENDED BY THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2013
[NAME] College does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs; sexual harassment and sexual violence are considered types of sex discrimination. Other acts may also be defined as forms of sex-based discrimination and are also prohibited whether sexually based or not and include dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. As a result, [NAME] College issues this statement of policy to inform the community of our comprehensive plan that addresses sexual misconduct, educational programs, and procedures that address sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, whether the incident occurs on or off campus and when it is reported to a College official. In this context, [NAME] College prohibits the offenses of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking and reaffirms its commitment to maintain a campus environment to emphasize the dignity and worth of all members of the College community.
[NAME] College is a part of the Colorado Community College System (CCCS) and is governed by the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE). Vie all SBCCOE Board Policies (BP) governing sexual misconduct. BP 3-120, Affirmative Action/Anti-Discrimination, prohibits employee sexual misconduct and BP 4-120, Prohibition of Discrimination or Harassment, prohibits student sexual misconduct.
Additionally, the Board has delegated procedural authority to the Colorado Community College System Chancellor. As a result, view the pertinent CCCS System President’s Procedures (SP) on Sexual Misconduct. SP 3-120a applies to CCCS employees, authorized volunteers, guests and visitors. SP 4-120a applies to students.
All Sexual Misconduct complaints are investigated pursuant to System President’s Procedures, Civil Rights Grievance and Investigation Process. If the respondent to a complaint is a CCCS employee, authorized volunteer(s), guest(s), or visitor(s), SP 3-50b will apply. If the respondent is a student, SP 4-31a applies.
Consent, Unlawful Sexual Behavior: Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) 18-3-401, means cooperation in act or attitude pursuant to an exercise of free will and with knowledge of the nature of the act. A current or previous relationship shall not be sufficient to constitute consent. Submission under the influence of fear shall not constitute consent.
Sexual Assault: C.R.S. 18-3-402, any actor who knowingly inflicts sexual intrusion or sexual penetration on a victim commits sexual assault if:
The actor causes submission of the victim by means of sufficient consequence reasonably calculated to cause submission against the victim’s will; or
The actor knows that the victim is incapable of appraising the nature of the victim’s conduct; or
The actor knows that the victim submits erroneously, believing the actor to be the victim’s spouse; or
At the time of the commission of the act, the victim is less than fifteen years of age and the actor is at least four years older than the victim and is not the spouse of the victim; or
At the time of the commission of the act, the victim is at least fifteen years of age but less than seventeen years of age and the actor is at least ten years older than the victim and is not the spouse of the victim; or
The victim is in custody of law or detained in a hospital or other institution and the actor has supervisory or disciplinary authority over the victim and uses this position of authority to coerce the victim to submit, unless the act is incident to a lawful search; or
The actor, while purporting to offer a medical service, engages in treatment or examination of a victim for other than a bona fide medical purpose or in a manner substantially inconsistent with reasonable medical practices; or
The victim is physically helpless and the actor knows the victim is physically helpless and the victim has not consented.
Sexual Assault on a Child: C.R.S. 18-3-405. Any actor who knowingly subjects another not his or her spouse to any sexual contact commits sexual assault on a child if the victim is less than fifteen years of age and the actor is at least four years older than the victim.
Domestic Violence: C.R.S. 18-6-800.3. An act or threatened act of violence upon a person with whom the actor is or has been involved in an intimate relationship. Domestic Violence also includes any other crime against a person, or against property, including an animal or any municipal ordinance violation against a person, or against property, including an animal, when used as a method of coercion, control, punishment, intimidation, or revenge directed against a person with whom the actor is or has been involved in an intimate relationship.
Dating Violence: Violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim. The existence of such a relationship shall be determined based on the reporting party’s statement and with consideration of the length of the relationship, the type of relationship, and the frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship. There is no Colorado state law on dating violence; therefore the college abides by the definition used in the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA) of 2013.
For purposes of this definition, dating violence includes, but is not limited to, sexual or physical abuse or the threat of such abuse. Dating violence does not include acts covered under the definition of domestic violence.
Stalking: C.R.S. 18-3-602. A person commits stalking if directly, or indirectly through another person, the person knowingly:
Makes a credible threat to another person and, in connection with the threat, repeatedly follows, approaches, contacts, or places under surveillance that person, a member of that person’s immediate family, or someone with whom that person has or has had a continuing relationship; or
Makes a credible threat to another person and, in connection with the threat, repeatedly makes any form of communication with that person, a member of that person’s immediate family, or someone with whom that person has or has had a continuing relationship, regardless of whether a conversation ensues; or
Repeatedly follows, approaches, contacts, places under surveillance, or makes any form of communication with another person, a member of that person’s immediate family, or someone with whom that person has or has had a continuing relationship in a manner that would cause a reasonable person to suffer serious emotional distress and does cause that person, a member of that person’s immediate family, or someone with whom that person has or has had a continuing relationship to suffer serious emotional distress. For purposes of this paragraph (c), a victim need not show that he or she received professional treatment or counseling to show that he or she suffered serious emotional distress.
Additional definitions as it relates to “Stalking” under Colorado law:
Conduct “in connection with” a credible threat means acts that further, advance, promote, or have a continuity of purpose, and may occur before, during, or after the credible threat.
“Credible threat” means a threat, physical action, or repeated conduct that would cause a reasonable person to be in fear for the person’s safety or the safety of his or her immediate family or of someone with whom the person has or has had a continuing relationship. The threat need not be directly expressed if the totality of the conduct would cause a reasonable person such fear.
“Immediate family” includes the person’s spouse and the person’s parent, grandparent, sibling, or child.
“Repeated” or “repeatedly” means on more than one occasion.

Educational programs are offered to raise awareness for all incoming students and employees, and are often conducted during new student and new employee orientation and throughout an incoming student’s first semester. These programs and others offered throughout the year include strong messages regarding not just awareness, but also primary prevention. Bystander engagement is encouraged through safe and positive intervention techniques and by empowering third-party intervention and prevention such as calling for help, using intervention-based apps, identifying allies and/or creating distractions.
Programs also offer information on risk reduction that strives to empower victims, how to recognize warning signals and how to avoid potential attacks, and do so without victim-blaming approaches. Throughout the year, ongoing awareness and prevention campaigns are directed to students and employees, including faculty, often taking the form of campaigns, emails, guest speakers and events such as [insert examples].

*DoV means Domestic Violence, DaV means Dating Violence, SA means Sexual Assault and S means Stalking
The College has procedures in place that serve to be sensitive to those who report sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, including informing individuals about their right to file criminal charges as well as the availability of medical attention, counseling and support services, and additional remedies to prevent contact between a complainant and an accused party, such as housing, academic, transportation and working accommodations, if reasonably available. Students and employees should contact [INSERT NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE INDIVIDUAL OR OFFICE WHO WOULD HANDLE THESE ACCOMMODATIONS AT YOUR INSTITUTION].
After an incident of sexual assault and domestic violence, the victim should consider seeking medical attention as soon as possible at [INSERT NAME OF HOSPITAL OFFERING PHYSICAL EVIDENCE RECOVERY KIT COLLECTION/ACCESS TO FORENSIC NURSE EXAMINERS/SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE PRACTICIONERS]. In Colorado, evidence may be collected even if you choose not to make a report to law enforcement. It is important that a victim of sexual assault not bathe, douche, smoke, change clothing or clean the bed/linen/area where they were assaulted, if the offense occurred within the past 96 hours so that evidence (as may be necessary to the proof of criminal activity) may be preserved. In circumstances of sexual assault, if victims do not opt for forensic evidence collection, health care providers can still treat injuries and take steps to address concerns of pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted disease.
Victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and dating violence are encouraged to also preserve evidence by saving text messages, instant messages, social networking pages, other communications, and keeping pictures, logs or other copies of documents (if they have any) that would be useful to College hearing boards/investigators or police.
Although the College strongly encourages all members of its community to report violations of this policy to law enforcement, it is the victim’s choice whether or not to make such a report and victims have the right to decline involvement with the police. The College [INSERT THE NAME OF THE DEPARTMENT OR INDIVIDUAL AND TITLE WHO WILL ASSIST HERE] will assist any victim with notifying local police if they so desire. [INSERT NAME OF LOCAL POLICE AGENCY WITH JURISDICTION] Police Department may also be reached directly by calling [INSERT TELEPHONE NUMBER], in person at [INSERT ADDRESS]. Additional information about the [INSERT NAME] Police department may be found online at: [INSERT LOCAL PD WEBSITE].
If you have been the victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you should report the incident promptly to the Title IX Coordinator, [INSERT NAME OF YOUR INSTITUTIONS TITLE IX COORDINATOR, AS WELL AS HIS/HER OFFICE ADDRESS, EMAIL AND TELEPHONE NUMBER] and Campus Police/Security (if the victim so desires).
The Title IX Coordinator is ultimately responsible to assure (in all cases) that the behavior is brought to an end, the College acts to reasonably prevent its recurrence and the effects on the victim and the community are remedied. The Coordinator is also responsible to assure that training is conducted annually for all advocates, investigators, hearing officers, panelists and appeals officers that encompass a hearing process that protects the safety of victims and promotes accountability. Training will focus on sexual misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, sexual harassment, retaliation and other behaviors that may be considered forms of sex or gender discrimination covered by Title IX and Clery Act. Training will help those decision-makers in the process to protect the safety of victims and to promote accountability for those who commit offenses.
The College will provide resources to persons who have been victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, and will apply appropriate disciplinary procedures to those who violate this policy. The procedures set forth below are intended to afford a prompt response to charges of sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, and stalking, to maintain confidentiality and fairness consistent with applicable legal requirements, and to impose appropriate sanctions against violators of this policy.
As time passes, evidence may dissipate or become lost or unavailable, thereby making investigation, possible prosecution, disciplinary proceedings, or obtaining protection from abuse orders that may be related to the incident more difficult. If a victim chooses not to make a complaint regarding an incident, he or she nevertheless should consider speaking with Campus Public Safety or other law enforcement, in order to preserve evidence in the event that the victim changes her/his mind at a later date.
If a report of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking is reported to the College, the below are the procedures that the College will follow as well as a statement of the standard of evidence that will be used during any judicial hearing on campus arising from such a report:
Procedure Institution Will Follow:

If the stalking is sexually based, it may fall under the institution’s Sexual Misconduct Procedure and if so, would be referred to the Title IX Coordinator and adjudicated under the institution’s Sexual Misconduct and Civil Rights Grievance and Investigation.Procedures using the preponderance of the evidence standard.
Procedure Institution Will Follow:
Evidentiary Standard: Dating Violence cases are referred to the Chief Conduct Officer and adjudicated using the preponderance of the evidence standard.

Procedures using the preponderance of the evidence standard.
Regardless of whether a victim elects to pursue a criminal complaint, the College will assist victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and will provide each victim with a written explanation of their rights. In Colorado, a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking has the following rights:
Rights Afforded to Victims: C.R.S. 24-4.1-302.5
In order to preserve and protect a victim’s rights to justice and due process, each victim of a crime shall have the following rights:
The right to be treated with fairness, respect, and dignity, and to be free from intimidation, harassment, or abuse, throughout the criminal justice process;

Further, [NAME OF COLLEGE] complies with Colorado law in recognizing orders of protection by: [ENTER WHAT YOUR INSTITUTION DOES TO COMPLY WITH PROTECTIVE ORDERS AND ASSIST VICTIMS. For Example: Any person who obtains an order of protection from Colorado or any reciprocal state should provide a copy to Campus Police/Safety and the Office of the Title IX Coordinator. A complainant may then meet with Campus Police to develop a Safety Action Plan, which is a plan for campus police and the victim to reduce risk of harm while on campus or coming and going from campus. This plan may include, but in not limited to: escorts, special parking arrangements, providing a temporary cell phone, changing classroom location or allowing a student to complete assignments from home, etc.]
Protection from abuse orders may be available through Emergency Protection Orders, C.R.S. 13-14-103.
Any county or district court shall have the authority to enter an emergency protection order, which may include:
Restraining a party from contacting, harassing, injuring, intimidating, threatening, molesting, touching, stalking, sexually assaulting or abusing any other party, a minor child of either of the parties, or a minor child who is in danger in the reasonably foreseeable future of being a victim of an unlawful sexual offense or domestic abuse;
Excluding a party from the family home or from the home of another party upon a showing that physical or emotional harm would otherwise result;
Awarding temporary care and control of any minor child of a party involved;
Enjoining an individual from contacting a minor child at school, at work, or wherever he or she may be found;
Restraining a party from molesting, injuring, killing, taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing, disposing of or threatening harm to an animal owned, possessed, leased, kept, or held by any other party, a minor child of either of the parties, or an elderly or at-risk adult; or
Specifying arrangements for possession and care of an animal owned, possessed, leased, kept, or held by any other party, a minor child of either of the parties, or an elderly or at-risk adult.
In cases involving a minor child, the juvenile court and the district court shall have the authority to issue emergency protection orders to prevent an unlawful sexual offense or domestic abuse, when requested by the local law enforcement agency, the county department of social services, or a responsible person who asserts (in a verified petition supported by affidavit) that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a minor child is in danger in the reasonably foreseeable future of being the victim of an unlawful sexual offense or domestic abuse, based upon an allegation of a recent actual unlawful sexual offense or domestic abuse or threat of the same. Any emergency protection order issued shall be on a standardized form prescribed by the Justice Department and a copy shall be provided to the protected person.
A verbal emergency protection order may be issued only if the issuing judge finds that an imminent danger in close proximity exists to the life or health of one or more persons or that a danger exists to the life or health of the minor child in the reasonably foreseeable future.
To the extent of the victim’s cooperation and consent, College offices, including [LIST WHICH OFFICES WORK TOGETHER TO PROTECT VICTIM PRIVACY AND TO ENSURE CONFIDEITALITY TO THE EXTENT IN WHICH IT MAY BE KEPT] will work cooperatively to ensure that the complainant’s health, physical safety, work and academic status are protected, pending the outcome of a formal College investigation of the complaint. For example, if reasonably available, a complainant may be offered changes to academic, living, or working situations in addition to counseling, health services and assistance in notifying appropriate local law enforcement. [LIST HERE WHICH OFFICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSISTING THE VICTIM WITH THESE ACCOMODATIONS]. Additionally, personal identifiable information about the victim will be treated as confidential and only shared with persons with a specific need to know who are adjudicating/investigating the complaint, or delivering resources or support services to the complainant. The College does not publish the name of crime victims nor house identifiable information regarding victims on the [campus police, public safety] department’s Daily Crime Log or online. Victims may request that directory information on file be removed from public sources by request [INSERT NAME OF OFFICE OR PERSON WHOM VICTIMS WOULD REQUEST DIRECTORY INFORMATION BE PROTECTED].
If a student victim would like information regarding financial aid services, please contact [INSERT NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION FOR COLLEGE]. The College can assist students with information such as how to apply for a withdrawal from classes or about options for addressing concerns about loan repayment terms and conditions.
Whether or not criminal charges are filed, the College or a person may file a complaint under the Civil Rights Grievance and Investigation Process. If the respondent to a complaint is a CCCS employee(s), authorized volunteer(s), guest(s), or visitor(s), SP 3-50b will apply. If the respondent is a student, SP 4-31a applies. Reports of all domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking made to [Campus Police, Public Safety] will automatically be referred to the Title IX Coordinator for investigation regardless if the complainant chooses to pursue criminal charges.
The College’s civil rights grievance and investigation process, as well as the discipline process, will provide prompt, fair, and impartial investigation and resolution that is:
Completed within reasonably prompt timeframes which, pursuant to our procedure, is sixty (60) days. If the College finds it necessary to extend this timeline, they may do so for good cause. The College will provide written notice to the accuser and the accused of the delay and the reason for the delay;
The processes shall be conducted in a manner that is transparent to the accuser and accused;
The processes allow for timely notice of meetings at which the accuser or accused, or both, may be present;
Provides timely access to the accuser, the accused, and appropriate officials to any information that will be used after the fact-finding investigation but during the disciplinary meetings and hearings; and
Conducted by officials who do not have a conflict of interest or bias for or against the accuser or the accused.
All College officials involved with the investigation and discipline process are trained annually on the issues related to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. These employees are taught how to conduct an investigation and hearing process that protects the safety of the victim and promotes accountability.
After the civil rights grievance and investigation process is concluded, the findings are shared with the disciplinary authority to begin the College’s discipline process.
If the accused is an employee, sanction decisions are outlined in:
The student discipline process, in all cases, provides that:
The accuser and the accused each have the opportunity to meet with the CSSO, for students, or the Appointing Authority/Disciplinary Authority, for CCCS employees, authorized volunteers, guests and visitors;
Attend a hearing before a properly trained hearing panel or person;
The accuser and the accused each have the opportunity to be advised by a personal advisor of their choice, at their expense, at any stage of the process and to be accompanied by that advisor at any meeting or hearing.
An advisor may only consult and advise his or her advisee, but not speak for the advisee at any meeting or hearing. These procedures are entirely administrative in nature and are not considered legal proceedings. The System or College may remove or dismiss an advisor who becomes disruptive or who does not abide by the restrictions on their participation as explained above.
An employee and student conduct decision is based on the preponderance of evidence standard (“more likely than not to have occurred” standard). In other words, the conduct process asks: “is it more likely than not that the accused violated SBCCOE Policy, CCCS, or College Procedure”.
The accuser and the accused will be notified simultaneously in writing of the outcome of any disciplinary proceeding, and shall be given the rationale for the discipline decision.
When a complainant does not consent to the disclosure of his or her name or other identifiable information to the alleged perpetrator, the College’s ability to respond to the complaint may be limited.
The College will protect the identity of persons who report having been victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking to the fullest extent of the law.
In all cases, investigations that result in a finding (of more likely than not) that a violation(s) has occurred, may lead to the initiation of disciplinary procedures against the accused individual. Examples of College sanctions may include, but are not limited to:
For students – warning, probation, fines, restitution, denial of privileges, assignment to perform services for the benefit of the college or community, reassignment to another class section including online, suspension, expulsion, a “Cease Communications” directive, or a “No trespass” directive (PNG).
For CCCS employees – warning, written warning, corrective actions, probation, restitution, denial of privileges, suspension, demotion, termination of employment, a “Cease Communications” directive, or a “No trespass” directive (PNG).
For authorized volunteers, guest(s), or visitors-warning, writing warning, denial of privileges, dismissal from College, a “Cease Communications” directive, or a “No trespass” directive (PNG).
Additionally, the College may implement protective measures following the report of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and/or stalking, which may include some or all of the following actions: [INSERT ALL YOU CAN THINK OF HERE]. For students, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking are violations of the Student Conduct Code. Employees who violate this policy will be subject to discipline, up-to-and-including termination of employment. Sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking are criminal acts which also may subject the perpetrator to criminal and civil penalties under federal and state laws.
The Title IX Coordinator will determine whether interim interventions and protective measures should be implemented, and, if so, take steps to implement those protective measures as soon as possible. Examples of interim protective measures include, but are not limited to: an order of no contact, residence hall relocation, adjustment of course schedules, a leave of absence, or reassignment to a different supervisor or position. These remedies may be applied to one, both, or multiple parties involved. Violations of the Title IX Coordinator’s directives and/or protective measures will constitute related violations that may lead to disciplinary action. Protective measures imposed may be temporary pending the results of an investigation or may become permanent as determined by [INSERT NAME] College.
