Bronzeshield Fortress is a fortress in Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
A dwarven fortress that crumbled into the Dwarven Ruins that can be visited, once found.
Description[edit | edit source]
Bronzeshield Fortress is one of a series of keeps built by the dwarves of past ages to protect their trade routs from and to the Five Kings Mountains. Centuries have passed since it was constructed and the dwarves have largely abandoned these trade routes and the myriad fortresses along the way, ceding them to new occupants. The keep once known as Bronzeshield Fortress was taken over by the dwarves' bitter enemies, the trolls, along with kobolds, who gave it a new name: Trobold.
Notable Landmarks[edit | edit source]
- Tales say that the magical forge of Searing Palm still glows within.

A future Lord Chancellor could impose “quite radical changes” on the court system unless changes are made to the Courts and Tribunals (Online Procedure) Bill, peers have warned.
Lord Faulks, the former justice minister, said there was nothing in the bill to prevent a Lord Chancellor “doing away with oral hearings” or ordering disputes to be “resolved by officials” employed by the government.
“What safeguards are there in the bill to prevent a minister imposing unsuitable rules on the committee? Should there not be some restraints built in?
“I appreciate that this may seem alarmist, but all governments want to save money and hearings cost money. More worrying is the possibility of a government of an extreme nature, left or right. This is not impossible in these volatile political times.”
Lord Judge, a former Lord Chief Justice, told peers during the bill’s second reading that he found the Lord Chancellor’s dominance over the new rules committee “rather astonishing”.
The bill is aimed at facilitating the court modernisation programme and particularly the online court, and Lord Judge said that, though it was “modest and short”, it was “wide-ranging” in its scope and consequences.
“Effectively, this bill covers all non-criminal proceedings: every single case in the Family Division or the family courts, or the magistrates’ court doing family cases; every single employment case; every single tribunal case, and every single civil case whatever its value.”
Lord Judge contrasted the five-person online procedure rule committee (OPRC) proposed in the bill with the membership of existing rules committees.
He said a majority of members of the Civil Procedure Rule Committee were from “all levels of the judiciary”, including magistrates, with only “a tiny number of nominees” made by the Lord Chancellor, and the same was true of the Family Procedure Rule Committee.
“Let us contrast this new committee, which is vested with these vast powers. It will have five members, two of them nominated by the Lord Chief Justice and three appointed by the Lord Chancellor, empowered to look at all these issues.
“At the end of their consideration of the issues and what regulations should be introduced, the recommendations of three members of the committee will be sufficient to enable the Lord Chancellor to introduce the relevant regulations.”
Lord Judge said the Lord Chief Justice had to be consulted, but if he did not agree, the Lord Chancellor could go ahead anyway. Given “the breadth of proceedings” covered by the new committee, this was “rather astonishing”.
Lord Thomas, another former Lord Chief Justice, supported Lord Judge, arguing that if the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice had a partnership in terms of running the courts, they “ought to have a partnership in regard to the making of these rules”.
Lord Thomas said the government should make clear in the bill that assistance would be provided “not only for those who find it difficult to use digital equipment but for those who wish to try to understand more complicated issues, by having access to advice online”.
Lord Marks, a Liberal Democrat peer and barrister, said he could not understand why the government could not commit in the bill to ensuring “not only that practice and procedure under the rules are accessible and fair but that users will be able to secure adequate help in handling the new online procedures”.
Lord Marks said Lord Judge, Lord Thomas and another former Lord Chancellor, Lord Mackay, had all suggested this.
Lord Beecham, a solicitor and Labour frontbencher, said both barristers and solicitors should be represented on the new committee.
Under the bill, the committee is made up of two judges, a lawyer (who could be either a barrister, solicitor or chartered legal executive), an expert on the lay advice sector and an IT expert.
Lord Keen, the government’s justice spokesman in the Lords, said it planned to introduce online procedures to money claims first, and then to family law. He was not aware of “any intention” to extend it to the Court of Protection or housing claims.
On digital assistance, he said there were already plans for online, telephone or face-to-face support, and that people would be able to make claims in writing, which could be scanned into the system.
He said he did “not consider it necessary” to add a specific provision to the bill.
On membership of the new committee, he said it “should be kept relatively small and flexible”, although changes could be made later.
Lord Keen said he had heard what had been said by peers on the roles of the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice but there was “a balance to be struck”.
He added that the government intended to hold an interim review of online procedures “in about 2021 and a completed review in about 2023 or 2024”.

Cheney holds its own against Deer Park
Facing one of the most potent lineups in the Great Northern League, Cheney wrestlers held their own against Deer Park last Wednesday, Jan. 9.
Although Deer Park started off with eight straight wins, Cheney was able to recoup some of its losses. Against a league-leading team like Deer Park, the effort proved to be a strong performance for Cheney. Deer Park ended up winning 46-27.
“I really thought we wrestled fairly well against them,” head coach Wade Schlotter said in an email.
After a struggling start, Schlotter said Cheney eventually got things going with its higher weights.

Mike Farrell’s Kids Could Not Stand Stepmom Shelley Fabares after He Divorced ‘M*A*S*H’ Co-star
Mike Farrell's kids took time before they warmed up to their stepmom. The famous dad divorced his "M*A*S*H" co-star, then married actress and singer Shelley Fabares, and here is how his kids reacted to his decision.
Mike Farrell is well known for captivating fans' attention with his incredible displays in movies. He is best known for his role as Captain B.J. Hunnicutt on the "M*A*S*H."
He also has acting credits in movies such as "Patch Adams" and "The Questor Tapes." Aside from acting, Mike is politically inclined. He has been married twice to two movie stars, and he is also a dad.
MIKE'S FIRST MARRIAGE
Born into an infamous family, Mike Farrell worked his way to the top, but not without the support of his first wife, Judy. After graduating from the University of California, Mike went on to study acting at the Jeff Corey Workshop.
After taking to Hollywood, the '60s movie star soon started getting parts in different productions, but he struggled to get the desired roles. However, his leading roles came in 1965 in "Days of Our Lives" and "M*A*S*H" in 1972.
While many know Mike to be one of the greatest entertainers on set, only a few are aware that it was Judy who helped see such talent blossom. Judy is also an actor like Mike and in his biography "Just Call Me Mike," he revealed she got him into acting.

The "Vanishing Act" star and his wife began their acting careers at the Laguna Playhouse in California. But Mike soon took to Hollywood, where he anticipated getting lead roles.
Thankfully, his dreams eventually came true when the opportunity to replace Wayne Rogers on "M*A*S*H" arose. And as it is well known, Mike got the part. He was later joined by his wife Judy, who started featuring in the fifth episode.
Judy starred on "M*A*S*H" for eight episodes. As the show extended and became more successful, so did her marriage to Mike. They were married for 20 years and are parents to two adorable kids.

THE MOST DEDICATED PARENTS
Mike and his first wife were childless for the first seven years of their marriage. However, when they eventually became parents, the stars were notably referred to as one of the most dedicated parents in Hollywood's history.
The couple became first-time parents following the birth of their child Michael Joshua. They had their second child, Erin, three years later. Mike was present during the birth of his two kids.

Like most couples who had difficulty having children, the Farrells were preparing to shower their kids with all the attention and love they could muster, giving little thought to discipline.
When friends and family decided to warn the couple's against the damages indiscipline could cause in a child's life, Mike said:
"People warned us that if we went to them whenever they cried and refused to spank them, we would harm them irrevocably. But we decided there's simply no way to spoil a child..."

It is no secret the Farrells' marriage grew stronger while they played blond nurse and Captain B.J. Hunnicutt on the "M*A*S*H." But sadly, as their marriage progressed as "M*A*S*H" did, it also ended alongside the famous TV series.
However, throughout her illness and recovery process, Fabares had the support of her husband, Mike.

Mike and his first wife dissolved their marriage the same year "M*A*S*H" ended. In the actor's memoir years later, he writes about their relationship and how devastated he was during their divorce.
However, it turned out the couple's divorce resulted from their lives moving in different directions. But, despite being separated, Mike and his first wife remained amicable. They have also remarried, with Judy saying "I do" to actor Joe Bratcher while he wed Shelley Fabares.
MARRIAGE WITH SHELLEY FABARES
After divorcing his wife of 20 years, Mike found love again with actress Shelley Fabares. Fabares, 78, is one of those actors with a rare talent for acting since childhood. She was introduced to show business as a toddler, and by 12, she had already made her film debut.
Fabares is known for such films as "Brian's Song," "The Brian Keith Show," and "The Practice." She stunned fans with a more prickly character than usual on "Forever Fernwood" before moving on to star as Bonnie Franklin's business competitor on the hit sitcom "One Day at a Time."
However, Fabares has had her fair share of broken relationships when it comes to romance. Before she eventually got hooked up with "M*A*S*H" star Mike, the actress had dated different Hollywood hunks.
She and Mike first became acquainted in 1970 during her guest appearance on an episode of Mike's short-lived series "The Interns." However, their second encounter led to a more serious relationship. During this time, the pair had both been married and divorced.
Since the two started dating, they have notably gushed about the positive effects of their love on their personalities, and Mike once said Fabares made people understand he wasn't an "unapproachable doomsayer."
The actor and Fabares got married in 1984, a year after "M*A*S*H" abruptly ended. The ceremony was held at Fabares's aunt Nanette Fabray's Pacific Palisades home.
Since saying "I do," the couple has remained strong, withstanding all the hardships that come their way. During the early years of marriage, the two struggled with many difficulties, first with Mike's kids and then came Fabares's and her mother's illness.
THROUGH THICK AND THIN
The happiest day of Fabares and Mike's life could have been the saddest for his children, Michael and Erin, as they found it difficult to accept their father's new bride. However, it appeared the children eventually came to terms with the change in their home as Fabares once said:
"The divorce was very hard on the kids. It took a lot of love, patience, courage and strength, but now they have two solid homes, which is what we all wanted."
While that part was settled, it wasn't the last of Fabares and Mike's life struggles as they would later face more life-threatening issues. In 2000, news came out about how the actress was recovering from a liver transplant surgery.
Danny Chung of the Alzheimer's Association, who released the news of Fabares's recovery, said the actress suffered a deterioration of her liver due to an auto-immune disorder.
However, throughout her illness and recovery process, Fabares had the support of her husband, Mike. It also turned out Fabares's family had a history of deteriorating health issues.
Her mother was once diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and throughout the older woman's treatment, Mike watched his wife attain the role of a career giver. However, the actor didn't know that he was preparing himself for a similar role.
Mike became his wife's caregiver after being diagnosed with auto-immune liver disorder. It is no wonder the "M*A*S*H" actor found it easy to talk about caregivers at the Aging & In-Home Services of Northeast Indiana 44th annual awards ceremony years after his wife's recovery.

And the journey of a thousand pages (or more) begins with a single word. Followed by other words. Then even more. Sometimes, it’s like running downhill, or soaring on an uplifting wind. Other times, a lot of times, it’s more like scrabbling on torn and bloody hands and knees, up a steep incline littered with sharp-edged rocks, while being pummeled by even more rocks. Hot ones. From, say, a volcano.
If you’re very lucky, like Frodo, you have someone like Sam Gamgee to carry you. Or, more likely, to give you a good swift kick in the arse when required, or perhaps a shoulder to cry on, an ear to vent to, or a brain to pick.
My Darkness & Light Trilogy came to its conclusion last month with the release of Edge of Darkness (though, why Amazon is listing only the first two is a mystery yet to be solved). That journey, truly, began back in grade school, when I first decided to start penning some of the stories the voices in my head were trying to relate. More specifically, BD&L as it was first referred to, all began some time after 2006 when I said, “Enough is enough. If you’re going to keep on with this writing thing, it’s time to get serious and actually finish something. Either do it. Or set it aside. No more half measures.”
See, my muses and I hadn’t been talking for a great stretch of years. Other things pushed them aside. It royally pissed them off, and made me very unhappy. So, I put down that first word. I struggled, floundered, waffled, all while enticing my muses back to join me. In September of 2011, I took a step out of my comfort zone and announced to those who stumbled upon my burgeoning blog that I was a writer. A month later, I declared I was finished polishing First of Her Kind and ready to start querying agents.
That went… nowhere. In May of 2012, I wrote one of my favorite posts on the journey, Teetering On the Brink. I thought First of Her Kind was truly ready. Or, rather, I was content with it. Thank the muses for Sage of the South! He pushed me so hard through that first book. It most likely never would have been without him. Or, it would have been not nearly as good.
It wasn’t until February of 2013 that First of Her Kind made it into reader’s hands. Three years of drafts, head banging, frustration, happy dances, and forging the fast and steady friendships with a handful of other writers who provided the support and guidance that got me through. (Two of them have also just finished a series this year. Shout out to Kate Sparkes and Krista Walsh. Woot! Woot!)
Fast forward three years, and the trilogy is complete. Edge of Darkness, the final book, brought out the heavy duty can of Whoop-Ass and unleashed it on me. I struggled with my desire to give trilogy readers a satisfying conclusion while staying true to the story and my characters. At one point, I trashed over 50 thousand words and started over because I didn’t like where it was going. I floundered, swore, banged my head against the desk, and scrambled until I finally thought I was close to where I wanted to be. Then, I did something I have never done. I sent a rough, firstish draft, to some incredibly brave and stalwart Alpha Readers. Only after they assured me it wasn’t the blatant basket of tripe I thought it was, did I go on.
All I can say is…
THAT WAS FREAKING HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I’m poised to do it all again.
Because us writerly types? We’re nuckin’ futs, we are. Voices in our heads, tales to be spun, worlds to create…

Adult zombie costumes for Halloween are perfect as the holiday is that time of year when living deads roam the streets. Actually, on 31st October zombies, ghouls, ghosts and other supernatural beings seem to scare people to death.
Best 15 adult zombie costumes for Halloween parties
Zombies are among the most popular and the most overexploited party outfits on All Hollow’s Eve. Even tough one may think such a costume cannot be as unique as the newer ones, one quickly finds out that it is not true.
What if… a standard event was turned into a scary, dreadful, awful evening? I thus searched for events that can take place during the year and could be turned into Halloween-ish tragedies. These brought different ideas for adult zombie costumes.
Individual zombie costume ideas
While we generally join fun parties in groups, we don’t always want to wear the same type of costumes. We enjoy partying with friends and go all out wearing special attires. But we may not want to look like the crowd and opt for a unique suit.
Desperate housewife zombie dress
Many women will amaze the company dressed in one of these zombie desperate housewives. For such a party attire you will need an old classy everyday dress that you will not mind ruining with fake blood and some scratches. You can even avoid any special effect if you say you’re one of the many Stepford wives that just escaped from the town.
Knight zombie costumes for men
Have you ever visited an old Scottish castle? Most of them have their own knight ghost or zombie. Make sure to have an armor costume on hand and add a few chains, this will provide the party attendees with the impression that you’re a real zombie knight.
Hippie turned into a zombie
Hippies were peace and love amateurs and this can be a good base for creating adult zombie costumes for Halloween. The hippie zombie costumes are suitable for both men and women. All you’ll need are: colored clothes, some dried flowers in your hair and a good makeup in shades of grey. Men can also get their very own sixties’ hippie costume.
Zombie football player costumes for adults
The football player zombie costume is the perfect attire for sportive men. Even though dirty at the end of a match, football player’s clothes are generally ultra clean beforehand. These can be turned into nightmarish outfits by adding some artificial blood. For a more realistic effect, you can rub some soil on the clothes.
Men and women’s animal zombie costumes
Everybody loves animals however animals can be extremely dangerous when bitten by zombies. Since the purpose of Halloween parties is scaring the party attendees to death, you’ll have lots of success dressed in this rotten rabbit costume. Accessorize your look with a carrot people around you won’t be expecting such a “dreadful” weapon.
Halloween zombie costumes for couples
When attending a party as a couple, we will look for complementary scary party outfits. By wearing matching fancy dresses, we won’t just allow the other attendees to recognize us, we’re also going to never be forgotten. Matching outfits for couples are also a great way to wear a unique costume theme.
Zombie Snow Fright and Dwarf party outfits
Another way to make your Halloween costume theme stand out is taking advantage of fairy tales and Disney movies. For example turn Snow White and her favorite dwarf into living deads. Fairy tale zombie costumes make probably the most unusual yet funniest theme for a Halloween night.
Living dead doctor and nurse fancy dresses
The zombie doctor and living dead nurse couple. This one is generally a classic costume theme that is suitable for single people. But there is no reason for your couple to not match both outfits and make it a success this Halloween night.
Mr and Mrs Zombie – deceased
Mr and Mrs Zombie were average citizens of the town who worked hard to make ends meet. On this Halloween night, they met their destiny. These woman zombie and husband zombie costumes make a perfect fit for a couple who wants to escape the everyday atmosphere.
Pirate couple costumes
Zombie pirate costumes are available for sale from the best online stores. This is the quickest way to get your party attire ready on time for the party. All you will need is the matching makeup and accessories such as bloody scarves.
Zombie priest and nun costumes
Although a classic, the zombie nun and priest costumes make a great option for a couple. You can represent a nun and priest who suddenly died in the convent. They haunt the place dressed in their religious attire. Such a type of couple will let your other zombie friends know that there stand a chance to get out from this living dead trap.
Dreadful zombie attires for groups
Then there are the groups. The best way to turn adult zombie costumes for Halloween into a theme for groups is by featuring another group. Whether a sports team or a movie cast of characters, you make sure that you’re going to be the focal point of the party.
Doctor’s convention costumes with a zombie theme
A convention of doctors was attacked by hordes of zombies. The result of this dramatic event is the party that you are hosting tonight. The advantage of setting such a party theme is that both men and women can find the perfect attire for the occasion. And because these shouldn’t be medical costumes for men only, you can even pair these with zombie nurse costumes.
Golf club zombie costumes
Your favorite – or most hatred – gold player and his pals turned into zombies. These can be a fun scary Halloween costume theme to set if you attend parties in group. Naturally zombie golfer costumes will better suit men but there is no reason for women not to play golf. Any other sports team can be turned in a living dead pack.
Music Band zombie party outfits

Health care in 2024 is complex and under strain. Workforce considerations, patient and community engagement, broader definitions of health to include social care, partnerships, innovation and constrained resources add to the complexities of delivering high-quality care to British Columbians. Clinicians, academics, educators, health leaders, politicians and the public are all needing to adapt to rapid changes in the health system. This presentation will discuss the context and considerations, with a focus on areas of inquiry, that could support health system improvements in B.C.

When Firebaugh, Calif., grower Joe Del Bosque decided this spring to forego planting asparagus because of a lack of water, he was giving up on a field that still had five years of productivity left, he said.
Del Bosque was hoping to save his melon crop through water transfers. But as the summer progressed and there was very little water available for the spot market, he had to let some of his melon acreage go, too.
He said the asparagus decision had already forced him to cut one-third of his staff.
“This is one of the most difficult decisions I’ve had to make in a long time,” he said. “Seventy people are going to lose their jobs here. Next year, there will be no harvest here. Those 70 people lose two months of work. It’s a very difficult hit for them.”
Del Bosque was one of three growers who explained their plight in videos released Monday, July 12, by Western Growers, as heat and drought have forced California officials to escalate water-saving measures they had planned for 2022 if conditions didn't improve. Only 20% of the runoff expected from January’s snowpack made it into reservoirs.
The lack of water isn't just claiming annual crops such as melons and vegetables, but trees, too.
“Around this time of year we’d normally be prepping for harvest,” said Ross Franson of Woolf Farming, who started knocking down almond trees in a 400-acre orchard. “But due to the dire drought that’s going on in the state of California right now, we made the decision to pull these trees out simply because we didn’t have the water to irrigate them.”
“These trees are all dead, and they shouldn’t be,” said Jared Plumlee of Booth Ranches, which produces citrus in Orange Cove, Calif., and destroyed 70 acres of trees as a result of the drought. “It’s just a shame. This block had probably 20 years of productive life, and we were forced to push it out.”
No water, no crops
Western Growers posted the videos as part of a campaign titled "No Water = No Crops," warning that the regulatory uncertainty of water deliveries to farms is jeopardizing the future of agriculture in California and threatens to change the state’s landscape in fundamental ways.
“Is that really what you want?" Western Growers CEO Dave Puglia said in a message to state water regulators. "Do you want a bunch of dust blowing through the center of the state interrupted by fields of solar panels, which don’t employ many people?”
“It is a question that needs to be posed to Californians, generally, and their political leaders. Is that what you want? Because that is the path you are on.”
The campaign comes as record heat and drought have combined with an early start of wildfire season to present myriad challenges throughout the West. Over the weekend, the region saw its second major heat wave in a couple of weeks, as temperatures reached 114 degrees in Redding, Calif., and Fresno, 113 in Sacramento, 99 in Pendleton, Ore., and 98 in Wenatchee, Wash., according to the National Weather Service.
The heat is making matters worse as nearly the entire West is in drought, with extreme to exceptional drought extending through much of the Southwest, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. In California, the 2021 water year for the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Basin is currently the driest since 1977, prompting state water officials to begin curtailing diversions for many water rights holders.
The extreme heat has dried out many crops, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service. In Siskiyou, Trinity, and Modoc counties in California, alfalfa fields showed dried down splotches from pests or disease, NASS reported. Rangeland and non-irrigated pasture are in poor to very poor condition, and some ranchers have been trucking in water to replenish drying foothill stock ponds, according to the agency.
The hot, dry afternoons have presented a challenge for melon growers, who are also dealing with shortages in labor, truck drivers and supplies, the California Farm Bureau observes.
The weather has also made it more difficult for firefighters battling several wildfires in the West, as the air is so dry that much of the water dropped by aircraft to quell the flames evaporates before it reaches the ground, the BBC reported.
The largest wildfire in California — the Beckwourth Complex — was raging through mostly timber along the Nevada state line and had burned about 134 square miles as of Monday morning, according to The Associated Press. In Oregon, the Bootleg Fire has burned 224 square miles of heavy timber in the Fremont-Winema National Forest, near Sprague River in Klamath County, the AP reports. Wildfires are also burning in Washington, Idaho and Arizona.
New heat protection rules
In response to the heat waves, Washington and Oregon recently issued new heat-protection rules for farmworkers and other outdoor workers. The rules are similar to those in California, which focuses on four areas:
Plan – Develop and implement an effective written heat illness prevention plan that includes emergency response procedures.
Training – Train all employees and supervisors on heat illness prevention.
Water – Provide drinking water that is fresh, pure, suitably cool and free of charge so that each worker can drink at least 1 quart per hour, and encourage workers to do so.
Shade – Provide shade when workers request it and when temperatures exceed 80 degrees. Encourage workers to take a cool-down rest in the shade for at least five minutes. They should not wait until they feel sick to cool down.
While the West is expected to get a bit of a respite from the heat later this week, the federal Climate Prediction Center sees a greater-than-average chance of above-average temperatures lingering throughout the region for the remainder of the summer.

A lot has changed at Illinois’s Elgin Community College in the past four years: a new president took office, the college broke ground on some major construction projects and student enrollment ballooned. But one thing has stayed the same: tuition is still $91 per credit hour.
At $2,730 per year for a full-time student taking 15 credit hours per semester, this is not the cheapest tuition in the state. Moreover, Elgin’s tuition remained above the state average for community colleges  during the past four years. But Elgin is the only community college in Illinois — and one of relatively few around the country — to have frozen tuition during this period of economic unrest. What’s more, the college held the line while also not having to freeze pay for or lay off faculty and staff.
Now that Elgin’s Board of Trustees is considering finally raising tuition, and both the faculty and staff unions are readying for negotiations of their next contracts, many at the college are looking back at how they were able to keep tuition frozen, in what ways it positively and negatively impacted them, and how the freeze could affect their immediate future.
“The reason we’ve kept our tuition frozen over the last four years is that we are a community college," said Eleanor MacKinney, chair of the Board of Trustees. “We are valued by the community, and we value the community. We felt, as a board, that we should serve the community by keeping tuition as low as possible for as long as possible.”
When the decision was made to commit to a multi-year tuition freeze, focus shifted to the college’s other sources of revenue . Elgin is primarily supported by a local property tax levy, which makes up nearly 58 percent of its planned revenue this year. But the past four years have hardly been the best of times to ask for a tax hike , so the college chose not to ask. Elgin’s enrollment increase has not generated more dollars for the college because appropriations per credit hour have decreased in such a fashion as to essentially flatten state support. State appropriation, as a percentage of Elgin’s overall revenue, has dropped from more than 15 percent to almost 12 percent in the past five years.
“There was really no other way to bring in revenue,” said Sharon Konny, vice president of business and finance. “We could have asked for a tax increase, but we didn’t. Also, we always try for grants. But, mostly, you find some state and federal grants that are short-term. The only other way was to cut our expenses internally.”
The college trimmed about 3-4 percent of its nearly $160 million operational budget by switching from self insurance to a major health insurance carrier. Konny noted that the benefits packages afforded faculty and staff actually improved after the switch. The college centralized purchasing, among other smaller changes. In another key cut, the college reorganized the working hours of its housekeepers and custodians so that overtime pay was no longer needed to finish regular maintenance work. Overtime is still possible for these staffers, though, as necessity dictates.
“It’s always tough to lose potential income,” said Philip Howard, network engineer and president of the Support Staff of Elgin Community College Association, an NEA-affiliated union. “Many of our members felt the impact of that change. But we were able to explain to them that overtime isn’t guaranteed by our contract. And though there may have been some discomfort initially, I think people have adjusted to this change.”
Largely, staff have been supportive of the tuition freeze and the administration’s handling of expenses in the interim.
“All guaranteed money was always delivered,” Howard said of the staff contract, which included raises, during the tuition freeze. “Ultimately, it’s been a good thing to have the freeze. We’re community members, too. Our children go to school here, too. It’s to our benefit that tuition is frozen.”
The Elgin Community College Faculty Association, an AFT-affiliated union, was similarly pleased with the freeze, noting that it had little impact on their day-to-day affairs. Like the staff contract, though, the faculty contract was honored throughout the tuition freeze and included raises.
“Realistically, when tuition goes up, it only goes up a few dollars per credit,” said Gary Christenson, English professor and spokesman for the faculty association. “I think this freeze was more symbolic than anything. I don’t think it caused people to say, 'I’m going to go here [rather] than there.' It’s just a way of the board showing it cares for the community.”
The only area of concern for faculty is the college’s overreliance on adjuncts. As at most community colleges, more than half of the faculty is adjunct. Still, Christenson admitted that the tuition freeze hardly impacted these matters.
“As a union, we can point to areas we think are underfunded,” Christenson said. “But I don’t think any of them are underfunded because of the freeze. It’s more just a difference of opinion. Of course, we’d like more full-time faculty. But the union and the college just have different priorities.”
Both the staff and faculty union contracts are currently being renegotiated, but MacKinney, Howard, and Christenson all noted that the tuition freeze and its impact have not factored into the conversation. All refused further comment on the negotiations, except Christenson, who said the faculty contract renegotiation “was not going well” but that this “had nothing to do with the freeze.”
Konny believes that the college is in a good place financially after having maintained the freeze. For example, the college has had a surplus in the past four years. This past year, it managed to come out $3 million ahead. Also, it has an AAA bond rating from Moody’s, a year after successfully passing a $178 million capital bond referendum locally.
MacKinney believes the college is doing well academically, too. Its completion rate has risen proportionally with its 38 percent increase in enrollment over the past four years. Still, she does not necessarily believe the low tuition was a predominant reason for the rise in enrollment, given that community colleges typically see increases in enrollment during tough economic times.
This good stewardship, MacKinney argued, will make pitching a small tuition raise to the community much easier this year. Locals should not expect a tuition increase next year equivalent to four small ones, she added.
“Do we have four years’ worth of freeze that we need to play catch-up for?” MacKinney said. “No, we’re not going to play catch-up. It’ll be a reasonable increase. To do otherwise would betray the trust of the community that has supported us in other ways.”

Meta & The Cornerstones continue to spread their message of peace, love, and harmony with their new single “Breeze.” Fronted by singer, songwriter and composer Meta Dia, Meta and the Cornerstones fuse a unique sound of afropop, hip-hop, rock and soul with a backbone of roots reggae.
Accompanied by a stellar music video, Breeze is the first single from the band’s forthcoming album DIA, due out later this year.
“Breeze” is the fight against oppression, of any form. Frontman Meta Dia says, “Breeze, for me, is peace, which clears the air, eliminates suffocation and keeps the universe breathing. It also represents gentle and swift progress.”
The single was written, composed, and produced by Meta Dia and recorded at Real World Studios, the legendary studio of Peter Gabriel. “Breeze” was inspired by the ‘undocumented’ citizens of the world, struggling on the borders to find freedom and a new beginning. “It is a calling for togetherness and forgiveness. Just like the breeze,” says Dia. The song reflects this message with lyrics like:
“Ain’t no wall between earth and sky
Ain’t no war between you and I
We are called to come together and learn from each other
No beg for rice, I take my rights
Every living life, is a living light yeah”
Hailed by Nat Geo Music as “the future of Reggae music,” Meta & The Cornerstones aim for their music to uplift and motivate people to see the beauty of life. Listen to their powerful new protest song “Breeze” here, and stay tuned for their upcoming studio album DIA.

I think that my local area is great - a place really suitable for pets, families and children. It's very residential. Having lived in a few places in London, this is by far the best that I've lived in so far where a sense of security is concerned, and the area offers so much potential in the way of entertaining guests at nearby bars and restaurants, allowing yourself the chance to budget by shopping cheaper at budget supermarkets, and leisure and health facilities in the form of nearby gyms and green spaces.
West Acton and Ealing Common tube stations are both approx a 10/15 minute walk away from my location. Because of this, it makes travelling on the district/picadilly and central line super convenient. There are also a good amount of buses from what I can see, though I tend to use the tube more. West Acton tube station has a toilet in (Which is fantastic for those post-night out tubes!). These tubes do not have lift facilities, so access may be harder for some people. I think the transport choices here are fantastic. If you go to Ealing Broadway (20ish minute walk), you can also catch some trains to the rest of the UK!
I live on a very quiet street and I honestly couldn't fault it at all. From what I've seen seeing neighbours, there are a lot of families and some couples, but no disruption. As it's a shared area, the recycling bin often becomes too full, but other than that we've never had any problems with the disposal of general waste. Unfortuntately, we do live RIGHT next to two tube/train lines, but this isn't as annoying as you'd think. Guests who are new to the area may find it to disrupt their sleep, but having lived here for a while now (and with double glazing on the windows..!) I sleep straight through it. It's a bit annoying when you're on a zoom call with work however and a train passes by!
I'm very fortunate to live between Ealing and Acton. Because of this, it's great having the two different areas to go to - Ealing is fantastic and has a lot more high street Chains (JD Sports, a large Boots, Primark, Morrisons, M&S) and also has a great range of restaurants and bars available, and to me, seems like the main shopping district of the area. Acton, while smaller, has its own benefits of having a Morrisons, Superdrug, Iceland, Wilkinsons and a Lidls, allowing people nearby the opportunity to purchase from more affordable stores. There are also some restaurants in Acton, but it seems to be mostly takeaways. I'd say Ealing would be a 'fancier' place to go to than Acton, but I much prefer going in to Acton due to the value of the shops there! I don't feel like much is missing from the area.
I love how nice people are around here and how well connected it is to the rest of London
I love how nice people are around here and how well connected it is to the rest of London with the central line mainline picadilly line and district line all within ealing. My area is upper class big house and nice and calm this area is suitable for pets and is safe hardly any police activity at all.
Bus stops and loads of tube stations all within a 10 min walk and cycle routes, very reliable train and bus service area is clean and traffic is quite busy can not think of any issues in the area as it is well severed and connected.
Parking is not very good mostly street parking no anti social behaviour very low traffic noise, mostly renters and multiple occupancy homes, some homeowners are on this street.
There is a huge range of shops in the local area from Caribbean stores to independent coffee shops and the main shops that you are there always, loads of massive parks like Ealing Common and Acton park Ealing Common is very busy for daily workouts and sunbathers and Ealing Broadway as that is we’re the bulk of the shops are, I can not think of any amenities missing.
You really have to have a car to live in this area.
You really have to have a car to live in this area. It is quite a walk to the nearest supermarket. it is supposed to be a 20 MPH but many drivers ignore this.
There is a bus that goes down Twyford avenue. links to the tube are ten mins walk away. ( central line) Piccadilly line at North Ealing is 15 mins walk away.
There are speed bumps on this road which is needed as it is a cut through. There is a problem with motorbike racing at night as they can cut down the side of the speed bumps. Most houses have off street parking. Many of the houses are rented to the Japanese.
nearest shop is mini tesco on the Uxbridge road and dominoes Pizza. This postcode is 10 mins walking to west Acton tube station. The nearest park is lovely Acton playing fielda. When Ealing council decide to do their duty and empty the rubbish bins it will be even nicer. Many houses in this area have been divided into flats.
Lots of trees and plants, people are friendly.

Jeeps here...I am starting to shop for rims and tires. Not really into the whole black thing, but can appreciate not having to maintain a polished wheel either.
The Nomad Ultras really appeal to me, but I'm concerned the grey will be close but not close enough to Billet and look like I missed getting colors right.
I haven't been able to find any pics with them on a Billet jeep. Anyone got a link to one?
Also if anyone had a pic of a stock JK with the 15x8 and 33"s that would be awesome too! I'm thinking of them with 33x10.5 and leaving the suspension stock for now...
Thanks in advance!

Hong Kong-based smartphone manufacturer “Infinix Mobile” seems to not give smartphone users a breathing space on their products, on a report recently notes that Infinix S5 Pro will be out soon in Nigeria.
Infinix S5 Pro is the advanced version of Infinix S5 that was launched back in 2019, with the Infinix S5 Pro you will have better and updated Specs than that of its predecessor.
The Infinix S5 Pro might come with an all-screen display, which means no more punch hole or waterdrop front-facing camera system which might be replaced with a Pop-up Camera system. The first of its kind to come to Infinix smartphones.
RELATED POST: Infinix S5 with Punch-Hole Display
With this new feature coming to the S5 Pro, I know some of their smartphones in the future will carry the same front-facing Pop-up Camera system. So let’s talk about the possible specs coming to this smartphone.
Features to Expect in the Infinix S5 Pro
The display of the Infinix S5 Pro might still measure 6.6 inches and the same body to screen ratio as that of its predecessor and also with an AMOLED LCD display with a resolution of 720p. This is 2020, I wish Infinix Mobile might just change the game by giving their devices a 1080p screen, it will be awesome.
Talking about color for this smartphone, it might still come with the same colors featured on the other S-Series of Infinix Smartphones. Security for the Infinix S5 Pro will take a great turn with the latest in-display fingerprint scanner, which gives a more convenient and fast unlocking of your smartphone.
The Pop-up Camera for the Infinix S5 Pro will boost a 32MP lens which will serve as the front snapper and on the rear side, it might come with a quad-camera system that will get a 48MP (main lens), 5MP (wide-angle), 2MP (depth sensor, and 2MP (VGA lens). With Camera specs like this, you are likely to get amazing snaps during the day, night and in low light conditions.
RELATED POST: Infinix Hot 8 – Full Specs, Features, and Price
Moving on to performance for the Infinix S5 Pro, this machine might come with a MediaTek Helio P65 processor powered with a 4,000mAh battery that can serve you for a full day with just a single charge. The internal storage is said to be at 128GB and RAM of about 4GB or 6GB variants. The Operating System (OS) of the Infinix S5 Pro could still run the Android 9 or even the latest Android 10.
The headphone jack, speakers, microphone and the USB port (for charging and file transfer) will also be at the bottom of the phone like its predecessor. While the power and volume keys will be at the right corner side of the smartphone.
Expected Price Range
The Infinix S5 price started at about N45,000. So the Infinix S5 Pro which comes as an upgrade might start at about N65,000 – N70,000 or about $190 dollars.
PS: Note that the specs that are used here are specs we expect Infinix Mobile will put on this smartphone, so it might differ when the phone finally launches in Nigeria, so be guided.
The full review will be made available when it finally launches in Nigeria containing the full specs, so keep visiting to stay updated.

I met an unlikely angel a few weeks ago.
We were downtown while Steve was working on his mural, and I was sitting on the grass of the intersection corner.
Like most cities, big or small, you never know who might approach you... to ask for change or make conversation.
It's easy to become immune to the spirit behind the asking, or even callus to the effort, when so often it comes from people who live and speak and experience the world in different ways... whether they be homeless, jacked up on something, on a different mental plane, or just hard on their luck.
It's easy to move into quick judgment when we feel uncomfortable with someone, and then to shut ourselves off to their gifts by doing so.
I've certainly been guilty of it in my life. I probably will be again.
But I've found that some of the greatest, most profound feelings of connection I've had have been when I have deliberately been aware of that uncomfortable moment, that moment of choice... and I chose to lean in, rather than pull away.
On that day downtown, a fella walked up to us and immediately began the kind of excited, hard-to-follow conversation with me that often causes us to turn away.
I noticed it in me... the immediate discomfort. The desire to blow him off and go about my sketch. The feeling that trying to follow this man's train of thought, so different from the norm, was just going to be too much effort.
I also noticed how interesting it was that I almost turned away when the conversation offered no obvious gift or meaning for me.
I took a breath of forgiveness, for my knee-jerk inconsideration aka. disconnection from the life around me, and decided right then that I was going to be the space for this man to express himself that morning, that I was going to Listen.
My body opened toward him. My heart as well, within a few more breaths.
And the most beautiful thing happened.
He began to make more sense - even his odd associations. You see - he was talking in metaphor, at first.
I saw this time and time again with Alzheimer's patients, and on psych wards. They aren't talking gibberish - they're talking from an incredibly brilliant, creative way of seeing the connections in our world.
A way that asks of us to leave behind our expectations and preconceptions about the right way to see and say things, and to stand from a different point of perspective, to use our imaginations a little and to open our hearts wider.
Every time I get to live this, I am reminded how beautiful people are, and how some are so sensitive to the energy around them that they just seem a bit out there until we take the time to listen with our hearts.
This sweet man instantly began talking to me of things that were completely related to my life and heart... as if he knew me... hospice and caring for elders in nursing homes, music as a healing landscape, being with people when they die and knowing it is not an end, making art from a connection to the divine - and how this heals people, making choices in life that seem crazy to everyone else but that have been prompted by a deeper knowing or voice.
He brought these things up without any prompting from me, without knowing anything about us except that we were artists.
He told me that he felt so happy to talk to me because, "Healers, like you two, get what it's all about. It's how you are."
I'm not even kidding.
I've been thinking about this fella, this angel, ever since.
But there's more.
This man had a strange energy, yes - unpredictable. I've worked with enough people at varying places of mentality to know that he was having a good day. I know that will make sense to some of you.
While we were talking, another younger man came up. This man was quite obviously still doped up on something - from the night before, maybe. His energy was also unpredictable, but aggressive, and not one that I would have felt safe around by myself. He was, quite obviously, not having a good day.
But this first man, this angel, was just as kind and open to the second as he might have been to a puppy. He opened himself to be the space for the younger man without one ounce of judgment coming across.
He respectfully listened to him play his kazoo and cheered him on at the end. He laughed at his bad jokes and listened to his hard-to-follow story, asking questions and validating his feelings, without missing a beat.
The young man got worked up at one point, shouting off anger about being wronged over something that happened to him, and the angel man abruptly stepped away from the energy to go around the building.
I thought he was gone without a goodbye - that's often how it goes.
But once the young man had moved on, the first fella poked his head around the corner of the building and said, "Yeah, I had to step away from that violent talk. But he'll be OK. He smiled really big and said with the most heartfelt sincerity, "Wasn't he great?"
I don't know if I've captured the essence of this experience adequately with these words.
But what I do know is that angels come in many forms. And they can be easy to miss.
I am so grateful for this reminder, from the spirit of this man, that the purest gifts we can receive, the gift of connection to each other, and to spirit and joy through each other, are only available when we pause and make space in our hearts for each others expressions...
refusing to feed the negativity, and celebrating the inherent connection between us all.

Heather Currier Hunt, IDEO’s Senior Global Director of Learning & Development shares how she survived the loss of her toddler daughter, what resilience truly is, and the power of storytelling.
Here are my top three takeaways from our conversation:
Resilience is not about being a superhero. Resilience requires being human and vulnerable. It’s about asking for the help and support you need to make it through a challenging situation. It’s about focusing on small steps that will ultimately transform you. Who will you reach out to help you move forward?
Connect for Real. When confronted with a loss or setback, connecting with people is one of the best first steps you can take. Social media is not connecting. Social media tends to trigger more feelings of comparison than real connection. Create rituals and agreements with your friends and family to build a support system and routines. What structures can support you during a challenging time?
Loss is not something to get over. After experiencing loss, do not expect to bounce back to who you were. Such experiences often transform our perspective and result in personal growth, new identities and a few scars to remind us of how much we have overcome. How have losses and setbacks shaped your identity?
Mojo Mondays Bootcamp is here to show you what’s possible in your life. I hope these notes and my weekly MOJO coaching tip at the end of the interview help you find and activate your Mojo to move closer to what matters most to you.

There are so many excellent reasons to float and here’s one more! The Float Quote of the Month! We’re really excited to get feedback and love it when our float people let everyone know how excellent the experience is! Keep floating!
Insomnia. That was what took me from total skeptic to fervent believer in the benefits of floating. After trying everything from Valerian root and Melatonin to Tazodone, the isolation tank is the only thing that alleviated my ‘fall asleep, but can’t stay asleep’ insomnia. And it turns out I’m not the only one out there struggling to get their Z’s; according to sleepeducation.org, millions of Americans are experiencing a lack of quality sleep. Without getting the sleep needed, people suffer from fatigue, inability to focus, poor memory, and mood disturbance, to name just a few of the negative impacts from chronic insomnia.
CDC data suggests that about four percent of U.S. adults used prescription sleep aids in the past month. Like any other drug, sleep medications have side effects and risks.
The good news is that floating regularly can make a significant improvement to sleep, and also reduce blood pressure and stress. Easy Float was really created with one goal in mind, provide everyone the absolute best float experience. I know it sounds weird and that the thought of an isolation tank or sensory deprivation tank can sound just a little too out there for some, but floating is definitely a ‘don’t knock it till you try it’ type of thing. I was a huge skeptic, but getting amazing sleep after my first float has made me a believer.
Floating is making a massive comeback and there are a number of people utilizing isolation tanks for a wide variety of reason. The benefits from floating range from improved sleep and reduced stress to increased creativity and accelerated learning. High performance athletes are now floating regularly to improve focus and recover quicker. Navy Seals are utilizing sensory deprivation tanks in what they are referring to as a ‘mind gym’ to cut the time it takes to learn a language down from 6 months to 6 weeks.
There is also extensive research being done by Dr. Justin Feinstein at his Float Lab at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR). Featured in TIME, the work being done at the Float Lab in Tulsa is continuing to produce remarkable results. By utilizing EEG’s and fMRI machines, Feinstien and his team is finding the effects of flotation are resembling similar effects of SSRI’s, float participants are achieving a prolonged theta brain wave state which can reduce the hyper-connectivity where stress, anxiety, and depression reside.
