Can't believe Chip didn't post this already.
A judge set a $500,000 bond Monday for an Iowa City man accused of killing his neighbor after an argument over a chess game.
David Edward Christian, 29, of 418 Brown St. No. 6, made his initial appearance via video from the Johnson County Jail on Monday.
He is accused of second-degree murder in the death early Sunday of Michael Alan Steward, 39, of 418 Brown St. No. 4. Second-degree murder is a class B felony, punishable by 50 years in prison.
During his brief appearance before Judge Stephen Gerard, Christian requested a court-appointed attorney. According to court records, Christian will be represented by Peter Persaud.
Persaud also is defending another man charged with second-degree murder. His client, Curtis Fry, 21, of Wilton, is accused of beating to death 75-year-old Jerome "Patrick" McEwen in McEwen's Iowa City apartment.
Police, fire and ambulance officials responded to Christian's residence at 3:08 a.m. for a medical assist. Officials found Steward unresponsive. Steward was taken to Mercy Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
According to criminal complaints, Christian admitted to getting into a fight with Steward while they were playing chess. Steward allegedly slapped Christian, who responded by grabbing Steward's hands and holding them while he placed Steward's head between his legs, according to police. Police said Christian then applied pressure to Steward's neck until he "didn't look so good."
When police asked Christian what "didn't look so good" meant, he responded by saying, "have you ever seen a dead person," according to complaints.
Police said Christian performed CPR on Steward with negative results.
Preliminary results from Steward's autopsy are expected early this week.
Christian also was charged with public intoxication.

Melissa Twigg writes in The Telegraph about the addiction to fast fashion, and what it's doing to the planet.
Melissa highlights the importance of fabric and fibre, saying "shop for fabrics your grandmother would recognise."
Dana Thomas, the author of Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes says, "Wool is one of the best things you can wear for the environment because when it wears out you can compost it safely."
That's one of the reasons we love wool, and always will. So we were proud to be featured as one of the brands who are operating in a different, better way. Shop our 100% wool products here.

Jonathan Waxman's remake of his California-style 80s classic, Jams, has been in the works for a solid year now at the new 1 Hotel Central Park. It missed the spring opening it hoped for, but last month Waxman told Grub Street that he was really just "waiting for the hotel to be ready." If that's still true, then look for Jams to hit the scene around the beginning of July. Though the restaurant hasn't specified an exact opening date yet, the hotel tells Eater it expects to open on July 2. The restaurant could open the same day, or, as is sometimes the case with these hotel openings, it could open shortly after. In any case, the hotel just posted a whole slew of job listings, mostly for positions in the restaurant, so clearly it's gearing up for an opening.
After many years of focusing all his attention on his West Village classiv, Barbuto, Waxman has been a busy many recently. He just opened Bajo Sexto, his second Nashville restaurant, and is planning a New York restaurant with former Isa and Freemans executive chefs Preston Madson and Ginger Pierce. Plus, with the Barbuto building sold, he's got start thinking about relocating that elsewhere.


COVENTRY Sphinx showed their bounceback-ability in more ways than one as they inched out Westfields 4-3 at Siddeley Avenue with striker Raman Manak netting a splendid hat-trick.
Following Saturday’s FA Cup exit at the hands of Bedworth United, Sphinx were slow out of the blocks as they aimed to get back on track in the Midland Alliance – Daryl Addis firing the Herefordshire side in front after 90 seconds and Paul Allam doubling the advantage midway through the half.
Manak was the key to the fightback as he struck on the half-hour and right at the start of the second period, completing his treble on 51 minutes to put Danny McSheffrey’s men ahead. A Kyle Rhodes penalty stretched the lead before Addis added Westfields’ third late on.
*THREE goals in 12 second-half minutes helped Massey Ferguson bounce back from a 2-0 deficit at Banner Lane to earn a Midland Combination point against Castle Vale JKS.
It looked grim for Kev Kingham’s boys when Liam Thorp and an own-goal gave the Birmingham visitors a cosy interval advantage and although the Tractormen reduced the arrears through Phil Mortimer, Neil Thompson restored the two-goal cushion seconds later.
However, a Ross Cutting effort put Massey back in contention and Mortimer’s second, just before the hour, salvaged a share of the spoils.
Coventry Copsewood again suffered defensive dilemmas in a 3-1 beating by Pilkington XXX at Allard Way.
All of the Glassmen’s goals came prior to the interval with Kevin Brooks, Scott Kite and a Ross Kendall penalty putting Carl Nolan’s boys to the sword. PJ Gordon cut the deficit but the visitors held firm to plunder maximum points.
Ashley Wilks rifled Nuneaton Griff in front at Heather St Johns with a superb 20-yard free-kick but hopes of Steve Farmer’s charges picking up a rare away victory were dashed when Danny Quinn equalised in the 59th minute with a well-struck angled drive.
Racing Club Warwick continue to find life tough near the bottom – a 3-1 home drubbing at the hands of Dosthill Colts their latest disappointment.
Three goals in as many minutes saw the Tamworth outfit edge ahead 2-1, Ant Fallon’s double sandwiching Carter’s effort for the Hampton Roaders. It was left to Dean Rathbone to seal the win on 77 minutes.

Rohaizat was never involved in any land transaction handled by his legal firm partner, Ahmad told a press conference Tuesday.
Ahmad said the sum, intended for the purchase of some real estate, was paid exclusively to Rohaizat’s partner, someone by the name of Yusri Ishak. He was also alleged to have handled all the transactions and processing by himself and without Rohaizat’s involvement.
Bernama has the story:
(The controversy has now put BN and Umno in a spot, as they are likely to be faced with defending a candidate perceived as tainted by the opposition with the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) capitalising (read here) on the matter in the run up to the by-election on Tuesday. Rohaizat and other Umno leaders, however, said the matter is a non-issue and that PR is only using it as a character assassination attempt on him.)
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 00:18 AM
Rohaizat Was Not Involved In Transaction, Says Umno Information Chief
BUKIT MERTAJAM, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- The Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate in the Permatang Pasir by-election, Rohaizat Othman, was not involved in any land transaction handled by his legal firm partner on behalf of Koperasi Pekebun Getah Negeri Pulau Pinang Berhad, said Umno information chief Ahmad Maslan.
Instead, he said, Rohaizat became a victim of circumstances after the partner left the law firm and had to bear the burden of resolving problems arising from the transaction.
He said, in 2002, the cooperative had hired Messrs Saif Ariff T.Jayaraj & Rohaizat to represent it in a property purchase in Penang.
He said the cooperative handed over the money for the purchase to the law firm but later the transaction had to be cancelled.
"At all material times, the transaction was handled by the partner who had been with the firm from 1999 to 2003," he told a press conference at the BN's election operations room here tonight.
He added that the money paid by the cooperative was received exclusively by by the partner, who was handling the client's accounts at all material times.
"Rohaizat's partner was the authorised signatory for the accounts and Rohaizat had no involvement or knowledge about the property transcation," he said.
Ahmad said at the time the cooperative lodged a complaint with the Bar Council's disciplinary board over the transaction, Rohaizad's partner had already left the firm and he (Rohaizat) was named as the respondent in the complaint, making him a victim of circumstances.
He added that Rohaizat appeared before the board for the first time on Sept 11 2007 and on that the day, the board had only questioned a representative of the copperative.
He said the hearing was then postponed to Sept 14 to enable Rohaizat cross examine the representative of the cooperative and explain his side of the story.
However, on that day, Rohaizat did not attend the hearing because he was sick and a medical chit on his illness was submitted to the board, he said.
Following that, he said Rohaizat never received any notices from the board until March 14 2008, when he received a letter stating he had been disbarred.
Ahmad said in discharging his firm's responsibilities, Rohaizat had refunded monies due to the cooperative and following this, the cooperative had written a letter to the disciplinary board on March 28 2008 to retract all complaints made against Rohaizat as all their claims had been settled.
This, he said, showed Rohaizat was a leader of quality and did not run away from problems, unlike his partner, and thus could be deemed a "hero".
As such, he said, allegations by certain quarters that Rohaizat was a person without integrity were not true and hoped this clarification would put to rest the accusations that had been hurled about the BN candidate.
The press conference was also attended by Penang Umno legal advisor Abu Bakar As-Sidek Mohd Sidek, Rohaizat, Penang Umno deputy chief Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman and a representative of the cooperative.
The BN is involved in a straight fight for the state seat. Polling is on Aug 25. -- BERNAMA

- Hi. Welcome. I created CookieMOMster because when I was a first time mom 6 years ago cookies saved me. I was in a whirlwind of sleepless nights, crying and baby drool. I ate lots of cookies and began writing. Writing had been my passion since I was young and I had forgotten how much it meant to me. It's funny how these little lives come into your life and cause chaos but at the same time allow you to re-discover yourself. Thank you to Konrad and Koby for that. So sit down have a cookie and read. I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy writing. Thanks for visiting. I'm glad you stopped by.

On the eve of my fourth residency at Goddard College as a IMA-TLA student (Individualized Masters in Transformative Language Arts), I am sitting on the upper level of a gym as my son and two dozen other miniature humans are noisily jumping, swinging, rolling, and springing below me. Might as well be another planet from where I will be in 24 hours time. To pass the time, I was checking my blog stats and there I found an incoming link to my blog from worldsofchange.com where my very first “Trust the Process” post from August 2010 is published. Strange – that seems so long ago now. And me, so different. I can even read a subtle change in my writing.
I am particularly nervous to go back this time (or am I like this every time and I’ve just forgotten?) because I am returning after a semester off. It is time to commit again, get back to the discipline of 20-ish hours per week researching or writing (when I’d rather be doing anything but) and to face the reality that this degree is going to happen – and going to be a lot of work. But I am excited! I waited a long time for my life’s work to make itself known to me and it was worth every panicked journal entry, every incorrectly colored parachute, and every “wrong” turn. I now know I am doing exactly what I was called to do, what I was born to do and – no matter how much work and discipline it will take – I will have a grand time doing it!
People always say you shouldn’t take a break from school because you’ll never go back, ya know. Well, I have done this twice now. When I left school after a disappointing freshman year, I did so because I knew I wasn’t doing the authentic thing. During high school I went through the motions of applying to college because that’s just what you did. When I suddenly found myself on campus the fall I turned 18, I thought, what just happened?! I struggled through that first year studying for a major I wasn’t suited for because I hadn’t known what else to do. When my grades reflected my confusion and discomfort, I took a break. And everyone said, you won’t go back, ya know. But six months later, I was back and raring to go. I now knew what I wanted and I flung myself at it and graduated with honors. I just needed that break to check in with myself.
And now, 22 years later, I have done it again. I had gotten off track with my grad work, lost in what I thought others thought I should be doing. My own authority, my authentic voice, had momentarily been drowned out. But not completely. It was there tugging at my hem: Mama, are you listening? That’s not what I wanted! So I took a break to give my voice a chance to grow and tell me what she did want. I had turned away from myself, but now I have re-turned, back in the direction of my potential and purpose.
It’s OK to take a break to make sure you are doing the right thing, the authentic thing that will make YOU happy, not what others think will make you happy – or worse, what will make THEM happy. It’s OK to admit you might have made a mistake or gone off track. Listen. Listen hard. Take a break so you can really hear. And then re-turn back to your dreams and make them happen.
Prompt: If I listen to my own voice, it tells me…
2 thoughts on “Trust the Process (part 11): Re-turning”
Joanna, congratulations on your courage and giving yourself the time to discover your authentic desires. I was out of school even longer than you–35 years?–when I started the process of becoming a certified journal facilitator. Not an MFA, but important to me nonetheless. After all these years, I finally found my niche and am loving it. Good luck with school this semester. I’m sure you’ll inspire everyone.
I realized the date and popped in to see how you are…and you are in great shape! So glad you’re still following the process of that very creative room. I am so grateful for Caryn now that I’m in a PhD program. She really knows how to teach. Be well, dear Joanna BTW…how are the other “Caryn’s Astonishings?”

So I threw a notebook in my laptop bag a few days ago. I just needed one for taking some notes and scribbling out ideas here or there. I pulled it out last night to do a little bit of writing. Turns out that this note book has some journal entries from the beginning of April 2016.
I want to share some of what I wrote.
“I hate how most of the time I take in information like a sponge and find myself trying to implement the things that I have learned into my life. Only to continue to struggle with the selfish parts of “Me” The ego. The pride. The cockiness. Being arrogant when I should be humble. Going against my gut instincts. Allowing myself to react to life based on selfish motives.”
It is interesting to me, that a few years later, I have experienced so much growth. Yet I still struggle with the idea of selfishness. I have tried to re-frame my conception of selfishness. So many people in recovery talk about how important it is to rid ourselves of selfishness. But there has always been this nagging feeling with in me. A whisper that can be as deafening as a roar. The feeling that my desire to not be selfish is inherently selfish. Bare with me. Why do I want to not be selfish? Well because I don’t want to be seen as selfish. I don’t want the consequences that follow as a result of my selfishness. Isn’t that selfish? I think so. So rather than trying to not be selfish I accept that it is a part of my nature. I have to accept my condition to change my position. When I can accept that as fact, I stop wasting so much energy trying to not be. Then all of that energy is available to me. I have stopped trying to not be selfish. Is being selfless the opposite of being selfish? I am not really sure. I am quite certain that to be selfless we must think of self less. That seems to be the actual issue. I have a hard time not constantly thinking of myself.
Have you read the story of the actor in the book Alcoholics Anonymous? They talk about how they are a producer of confusion rather than harmony. That is how I feel sometimes. But just in my own head. I feel that a lot of times I can be the voice of reason and have some really good insight, being able to share from an objective point of view.
There in lies the problem. I have mental blank spots. Lately, I feel as though I have been trying to rely on self propulsion. I seem to have forgot that the reason I have gotten this far is because of the help from those who have come before me to pave the way. I started listening to Russel Brands book "RECOVERY" recently. I've listened to it before and it was great but this time around it has been hitting home like really hard. The idea that we sometimes stop doing the things that have helped get us well. When that happens, the old mentality can sneak back in, not like the devil incarnate but more like an old friend who wraps their arms around you like they have missed you terribly. It hit me like a ton of bricks. He is just sharing his experience strength and hope. The therapeutic value of one addict sharing with another addict is with out parallel right? So simple yet so profound.
Here is another little bit from that same journal entry.
“ I feel like my life is one of those tragic and dramatic movies. Ups and downs. Love. Destruction. building new. destroying the old.But times like right now, I loose purpose. Questioning the point of it all. Why go on so aimlessly? Where is my momentum? what direction should I go? There are time where I can answer that with so certainty that it hurts. clear as water. Other times I feel like I am drowning in used motor oil, blind, deaf and not able to catch my breath.”
Have you seen the new movie Equalilzer 2? Denzel Washington has a line where he says “There are two kinds of pain. Pain that hurts, and pain that alters.” It seems the pain that we experience in recovery can be both types of pain. It is a matter of perspective. I used to wish that the pain would go away. Wish that it were easier. “Pain is inevitable, but the suffering is optional.” is one perspective. But “Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret” is another perspective. I will not wallow in self pity. I will not try to avoid that pain but grow through what I go through.

‘I’m drawn to the beautiful combination of dusty and shiny,’ explains designer Gualtiero Sacchi, looking around his apartment in Reggio Emilia, Northern Italy. Part of the building it’s in dates back to 700 AD– the façade was added around 1800, while the flooring is a 20th-century addition. The result is a charming mix of period features and modern design.
‘I love the differences between all of these eras, and I wanted to emphasise that by placing the gleam of brass against ageing wood, the shine of a Piet Hein Eek galvanised “Zinc” table next to the patina of antique metal shelves,’ says Gualtiero.
Having designed showrooms for fashion brand Max Mara and products for companies such as Ligne Roset, lighting experts Viabizzuno and ceramics specialist Bosa Ceramiche, Gualtiero was used to working with a range of styles. ‘I liked the idea of celebrating original and historic elements, like coving and panels,’ he says of his thinking when decorating the three-bedroom apartment he shares with his wife and daughter.
The decor swings smoothly between patterns – a graphic 1920s stencil print in the living room and a study filled with damask – with the plain, white corridor maintaining a sense of calm. The neutral spaces, he finds, are ‘the best places to exhibit artworks and collectables,’ while the rooms with traditional features allow modern furniture to pop. ‘I didn’t want to give into the temptation to brighten these rooms with ceiling lights,’ says Gualtiero. ‘By leaving them dark, the furniture almost glows, and you get more of a feeling of what the building would have been like when it was first created.’
This home is a place of contrasts, but one held together by its focus on Italian designs – both old and new. It creates a blend that is more characterful than the plain shell of a modern apartment, less traditional than a classic restoration. As Gualtiero says, ‘it can feel like being in two worlds at once’. gualtierosacchi.it

“If managed well tourism has the ability to enrich New Zealand and the lives of New Zealanders. This campaign complements the significant amount of work being done across the sector to ensure this is achieved,” says Tourism New Zealand Chief Executive Stephen England-Hall.
“The campaign encourages people to plan their journeys, use facilities and leave no trace. It uses a range of tactics including free Wi-Fi to reinforce what we expect of campers and we are excited to see how it performs.”
“A ‘how to camp responsibly’ poster and video has also been provided to industry, regional tourism offices and councils to utilise.” Download them here.
The campaign reflects the principles of the recently launched Tiaki - Care for New Zealand initiative.
“Tiaki - Care for New Zealand explains to Kiwis and international visitors why caring for our people and place is important. The camping campaign builds on this by informing how to act in a way that respects these principles while camping.”
The campaign is the result of a partnership with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Tourism Industry Aotearoa, the i-SITE network, and rental vehicle partners and is part of the Government's $8.5million investment to improve the camping system.
The campaign will work alongside this summer’s government funded council initiatives being undertaken across the country like additional toilets, signage and monitoring.
Tourism New Zealand is also running a visiting driver safety campaign this summer to encourage responsible and safe travel on our roads.
- Campers will be reached with targeted digital messaging and video via social media and advertising on TradeMe for those buying vehicles to travel around the country.
- Campers will also be enticed into key i-SITE visitor centres along the main camping route with the promise of free Wi-Fi – only accessible after they watch a video about responsible camping.
- Recyclable ‘ketes of camping knowledge’ that are printed with responsible camping messages will also be given out by all 80 i-SITEs across the country and by participating rental vehicle companies.
- Key tags printed with responsible camping messages will also be used by rental vehicle companies.

Share Food Program needs more volunteers
A program started over a year ago in Linton that saves people money on groceries is in need of volunteers.
Program coordinator Jim Shepherd, a former Linton man now living in Bloomfield, said the Share Food Program provides high-quality food at low cost. It saves approximately 50 percent on the cost of certain foods.
"The program began (locally) in September of 2001," Shepherd noted, but has its ups and downs in the number of participants.
"It increased several months ago then began to decrease," he said. "One month we had 126 (food) units (sold), now we're running around the 60 or 70 mark."
Shepherd said he isn't sure of the reason for the decline over the last few months, but knows that gardens often supplement peoples' grocery needs during the summer months.
"Hopefully it will pick up again," he said.
After the food is pre-ordered by individuals each month, it's delivered to Linton from its home base in Peoria, Ill., then each order is packaged up and distributed by Shepherd and volunteers. Shepherd, who is disabled, needs more help on distribution days.
"(Volunteers) can show up on the 22nd around 2 p.m. to help get the units together and distribute or they can call me here at home for more information," Shepherd noted. "Depending on how large the truck is that day, it can take a couple of hours to put the units together, getting them ready to distribute, then an hour to distribute."
The sign-up deadline for next month's Share Food program is Nov. 6. Those interested can sign up at Linton City Hall. The food will be distributed Nov. 22 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Linton City Barn on South Main.
If someone who has ordered food fails to show up on distribution day, their money cannot be refunded.
The food is sold in units, each containing over 20 pounds of meat, vegetables and fruit. Meats are usually in one-pound packages, or just a little over. The menu varies each month. There are no canned goods.
November's Share Food menu includes, in the regular unit, a whole chicken, sausage, meat balls and one other meat item; walnuts, white potatoes and sweet potatoes, all for $16. An Extra Value unit can be added for another $13, which will include a 7 to 7 1/2-pound hickory smoked ham, spiral cut.
"Last year we saved people approximately $13,500 on food costs," Shepherd explained. "I hate to see this program go downhill."
Share Food is a faith-based community action program and affiliate of Share USA and World Share. In exchange for saving money on food, participants who are physically able are asked to do two hours' a month community service a month.
"Community service can mean being a deacon in a church, it can mean being a Sunday school teacher, being an usher and collecting the offering, visiting nursing homes, hospitals, or (helping with) volunteer programs, being a cheerleader sponsor at school, a number of things," said Shepherd.
"In order to keep the cost of the food down, they ask that volunteers come to the warehouse in Peoria, Ill., every 12 to 15 months," Shepherd said.
There the volunteers spend one day measuring and packaging food.
The program is administered by a not-for-profit, national Share Food co-op based in Peoria, Ill., which uses the power of buying in volume to save money, and passes the savings along to its participants. Share Food buys produce and other groceries by the semi truck load. It is an affiliate of Share USA and World Share.
Shepherd said there are "a lot of people who are very thankful for the program."
The food is especially helpful to the elderly, those on fixed income or the disabled, he noted, but is available to everyone. Income is not a factor.
"But this program is in danger of shutting down if volunteers don't come forward," Shepherd said.
Shepherd also is willing to speak with any civic group or organization interested in learning more about the program. He can be contacted at 384-8440.

Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has awarded Civica a five-year contract to supply, deliver and host Paris.
Derbyshire is reviewing its business processes and building a new integrated platform, to provide a comprehensive electronic patient record.
Civica will be working with the trust’s project team to consolidate its IT systems, implement and configure the EPR, and improve the delivery of communication support.
The trust will phase in paper-light information systems and extend mobile working, which should be particularly beneficial to community-based staff, who often work in patients’ homes. The project is scheduled to roll out across the trust by 2014.
John Staley, project manager, Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, said: “The planned move from paper-based processes to electronic records demonstrates our commitment to enhancing delivery of care for patients.
"This also provides the basis for us to pursue wider transformational initiatives.”
Derbyshire carried out a pilot programme to analyse its business processes and how it shares information among personnel and third parties.
It then decided to use the NHS Shared Business Services Clinical Information Systems Framework to identify a preferred supplier. Civica was selected out of the four suppliers available under the framework.
David Roots, managing director of Civica’s health and social care division, said it was “delighted” to be working with the trust on a project that would help its staff “to work flexibly while having access to full patient history and e-prescribing.”


It comes very early in the season, but Bristol Rovers' highly successful development squad have a potentially season defining game tonight.
Chris Hargreaves' side, who won their league last season, face Exeter City tonight at the Memorial Stadium in a qualifying match for the Premier League Cup.
Victory would mean an significant increase in games against higher quality opposition, with the winner of tonight's game going into a group to face Norwich City, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest in the group stages.
The competition is for category one to four under-23 teams to take part in a Champions League group and knockout format.
Talking to the official Bristol Rovers website Hargreaves said: “Well firstly it’s great to be able to play at the Memorial Stadium for these lads, so that already makes it a special experience because that’s where I want these players to end up playing week in, week out.”
“It’s against one of the teams that I’d class as a shining example of how a development squad can work as Exeter City have had to do it because it’s a fan-owned club.
“The group that I had there at the ages of around 16 and 18, a large number of them went on to play for big clubs or for the Exeter first team.
“It’s a really big test for us because they have a really strong programme that’s been in place for 10 years whereas we’re about a year and a half in so it’ll be a tough game.
“We won’t look beyond the game, our focus will be on Exeter and not what would could become of it if we were to win.
“It’s a nice reward if you get through for sure but we have to keep in mind what we as a development squad are trying to do – get players into our first team.
“We try and do well in every game because that’s the nature of the football club and the group that did so well last season want to push on.”
On Tuesday night Michael Kelly became the latest development squad player to make his full debut in Rovers' 3-1 defeat to QPR in the Carabao Cup. The 20-year-old Scot did himself no harm at all as he filled in at left back.
Last season The Gas' development side came agonisingly close to qualifying for the competition, losing on penalties, just a 22 goal shootout, to a Bury side packed with experienced players.
When interviewed Hargreaves said he was unclear whether he would have any first team players available for the match. There are certainly players who could do with some game time, the likes of strikers Gavin Reilly and Alex Jakubiak, but with a number of "walking wounded" in the senior squad Darrell Clarke may not want to risk them.
However it could be the perfect opportunity for players like Stuart Sinclair to get a competitive run out, with the utility man working his way back from a knee injury.
Hargreaves said: “I don’t know if we’ll have any first team players available for it yet but we have to prepare as if we won’t, which is the same for Exeter really.
“It does seem like many of the teams we play do have first team players involved which is fine by me because it tests our players even more.”
BristolLive will be live blogging the game tonight but the Mem will be open to fans who want to watch the match live.
Tickets are priced at £5 for adults and £1 for under 16s.


Imagine being able to accurately predict future trends and make informed decisions based on those predictions. That’s exactly what hierarchical time series forecasting with Pyflux allows us to do. In this article, I will guide you through the process of understanding time series data, exploring hierarchical structures within it, and implementing powerful forecasting models using Pyflux.
With Pyflux’s advanced features and intuitive interface, we can easily analyze large sets of time series data and uncover hidden patterns. By considering the hierarchies present in our data, such as product categories or geographical regions, we can create more accurate forecasts that capture both global and local trends.
Through a combination of statistical methods and machine learning techniques, we will learn how to build robust models that adapt to changing patterns over time. By the end of this article, you will have the skills necessary to confidently forecast future outcomes and make better-informed decisions for your business or organization. Let’s dive into the world of hierarchical time series forecasting with Pyflux!
Understanding Time Series Data
Understanding time series data can be a bit tricky, but don’t worry – pyflux is here to help you make sense of it all! Time series data refers to a sequence of observations collected over time. It is different from cross-sectional data, where observations are taken at a single point in time. Time series data often exhibits patterns and trends that can provide valuable insights for forecasting future values.
One important characteristic of time series data is its temporal dependence. Each observation is influenced by previous observations, creating a sequential relationship. This makes traditional statistical modeling techniques inadequate for analyzing time series data. Pyflux, on the other hand, offers powerful tools specifically designed for this purpose.
Pyflux enables us to model and forecast hierarchical time series data efficiently. Hierarchical time series involve multiple related time series that have nested structures, such as sales at different store locations or demand for various product categories within a company.
By using pyflux’s hierarchical forecasting capabilities, we can capture both the individual dynamics of each subseries and the aggregated dynamics across all subseries simultaneously. This allows us to generate accurate forecasts while accounting for the dependencies between the different levels of aggregation.
In conclusion, understanding time series data is crucial for making informed decisions and predictions in various domains. Pyflux provides an effective solution for analyzing and forecasting hierarchical time series data by leveraging its specialized modeling techniques and algorithms.
Exploring Hierarchical Structures in Time Series
Discover how you can delve into the intricate relationships within your data to unlock valuable insights in forecasting. When exploring hierarchical structures in time series, it is important to understand the underlying patterns and dependencies that exist between different levels of aggregation. By identifying these relationships, we can improve our forecasting accuracy and gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics at play.
Here are four key steps to explore hierarchical structures in time series:
Define the hierarchy: Start by defining the levels of aggregation within your data. This could be at different geographical locations, product categories, or any other relevant grouping.
Analyze cross-sectional correlations: Look for correlations between different series within each level of aggregation. This will help identify any shared patterns or common factors that influence multiple series.
Investigate temporal dependencies: Explore how different series interact over time. Are there lagged effects or lead-lag relationships? Understanding these temporal dependencies can provide valuable insights for forecasting.
Model hierarchically: Use a hierarchical time series model to capture both cross-sectional and temporal dependencies simultaneously. This approach allows us to effectively incorporate all available information and make accurate forecasts at all levels of aggregation.
By following these steps, we can unravel the intricate relationships within our data and unlock valuable insights for more accurate forecasting.

Atomic Bomb Audition – Light Will Remain
after the opening drone jumps into an experimental but clinical breed of thrashcore the album veers into an epic post prog rock blend of modern subgenres that sounds less adventurous than the debut album. unlike the first album, where there was a crowded juxtaposition between unlikely companions such as surf instrumentals, black metal blasts, deck waltzes, orchestral numbers, psych trippiness and of course, math riffage this second album is thicker, fuller and more cohesive like they’ve been listening to a lot of Tarantula Hawk, Pink Floyd, old Rush, Mogwai and especially the psychedelic metal of Enslaved. barely a hint of the surf fun that lifted up the first album, but this will still have the wide appeal of Pelican, Ocean, etc. although elements of various instruments continue to poke through the mix, there’s more attention to threading the parts together to make songs, not work-outs, as evidenced by the addition of melodic vocals. although hinting at post-apocalypse this self-described aural cinema is too gorgeous to feel intimidating. even its heavier, slower edge gives chase to a mutant redneck we all wish was directing this feature.

Today (Thursday 4 June) Healthy Air Cymru issued a joint statement, outlining their aims and vision for Wales post-Covid.
The coalition is an umbrella organisation, bringing together different organisations, from all sectors to collaborate and work together to campaign for a greener and healthier Wales.
The statement today aims to identify how we can use the opportunities presented by Covid-19 to reshape our society for the benefit of everyone – through the promotion of ‘healthy habits’ and shaping the ‘new normal’.
Joseph Carter, Chair of Healthy Air Cymru, said:
“Since lockdown, the air in Wales is cleaner and healthier than before. As restrictions are eased, making sure people can breathe clean air must be an essential part of a green and just recovery plan for Wales.
“To keep us healthy and safe, and to protect the planet, we need a Clean Air Act for Wales as soon as possible, along with large scale investment in active travel.
“We can’t risk going back to the poor air quality we had before COVID-19.
“Being able to access green spaces and nature close to home should be a basic right in Wales. It’s vital we protect our green spaces for our mental health and to ensure everyone can exercise safely.
“High quality public transport that meets the needs of people and communities is an essential part of helping us all to drive less for everyday journeys. People must be given safe alternatives to using the private car and feel confident and able to trust in public transport going forward.
“It’s vital that everyone has the space to move around our towns and cities, and that walking and cycling are seen as a realistic option. Walking and cycling are the best ways to allow people to travel sustainably, which is good for our health, our air, and the environment.
“The changes we have seen to everyday life has led to people developing healthy habits that have cleaned our air, lowered our emissions, and kept people safe. There is a new normal unfolding.
“Together, let’s make sure this new normal is here to stay.”

Social Security, in August of 2022, will have turned 87 years old. That’s the same age as millions of its beneficiaries. The program has longevity, but that longevity is being threatened by insolvency. While the program would remain if the trust were to become insolvent, it would not be the same, only being able to provide 80 percent of the benefit amount it offers today. The program needs guidance and protection, but to do that it first needs change. That is what the Social Security 2100: The Sacred Trust act is seeking to do, as CNBC’s Lorie Konish reports.
Social Security 2100
The Social Security 2100 bill, “A Sacred Trust,” has been proposed for awhile now with some of the Congressmen representing the bill calling for a vote on the bill as early as this fall. Their goal would be to have the earliest vote take place in September.
The bill has seen some bipartisan support, which is impressive as Social Security reform is rarely agreed upon. That said, the longer the bill idly sits in the legislative process, the higher the risk of waning support from the other party.
The bill itself seeks to expand benefits by 2 percent across the board. COLA (cost-of-living-adjustment) increases have raised benefits in the face of inflation. However, record high inflation has crippled the buying power of seniors regardless of the boost. The bill would also recalculate how COLAs are determined, to better represent senior wages and costs.
The changes to the program would offset insolvency by an additional three years, as it stands now. Other programs propose higher taxes for higher earners but would fund the program for several decades longer than expected.
The Social Security 2100 bill is a healthy middle ground that would expand benefits without raising taxes considerably if at all. That kind of compromise will be essential to progress and more reform in the future.

As soon as you’ve got filed, you’ll even be required to complete a course in private monetary administration before the bankruptcy might be discharged. Reaffirming the account — and your dedication to pay the debt — is often carried out to allow a debtor to keep a piece of collateral, such as a automobile, that may otherwise be seized as a part of the bankruptcy proceedings.
Everytime you fail to repay a debt as you initially agreed to, it may negatively have an effect on your credit score. If the plan seems possible and if the debtor complies with all the other necessities, the bankruptcy court typically confirms the plan and the debtor and creditors are certain by its phrases.
In the same example, in case your automobile is value $15,000, the bankruptcy trustee will seemingly promote your automobile, repay your automotive mortgage with the proceeds, pay you $5,000 for the exemption, and pay the remainder to your unsecured creditors.… Read More

WOW!! Seven years. It does not seem possible to me that seven years ago today we meet our little Butterfly for the first time. Truly time does fly by as they say.
Miss Butterfly is really growing into a little lady. She continues to be a great big sister who loves to teach her younger siblings everything she knows. She has found a love for song, dance, and acting. One of her latest favorite activities is to write notes to everyone telling them how much she loves them... Mommy, Daddy, siblings, God.. it is very sweet just like Miss Butterfly. I can not imagine what our family would be like without her leading the pack. :) Love you, Butterfly!

The Future of Food
The global food system is pressured by demands of a growing population, and we need to find and implement solutions to feed our population while protecting our planet.
The fifth annual Arrell Food Summit brought together more than 300 perspectives remotely and in-person to dig deeper into what these challenges are and how we can address them together.
This is a summary of what we heard.
Food System Transformation with Hannah Tucker
The Summit opened with a presentation from thought leader Hannah Tucker who described the global forces that are affecting food and the possible scenarios our planet could be faced with as a result of these pressures. Hannah described the shift from an industrial system to modern system and the changes that we could expect with innovations, technology, regenerative and circular economies. Participants came away with research-based insight about what is happening to our food resources and what role they can have in the future of food.
The Future of Protein
In this conversation participants heard from a diverse set of perspectives on the future of animal and plant based proteins. The panelists shared views on the topic including consumer interest, impact on climate and ecosystems and the role of policy and change. The panel was moderated by Sylvain Charlebois, Professor and Senior Director, Agri-food Analytics Lab, Dalhousie Univeristy and featured:
- Joseph Shawana, Educator and Chair, Indigenous Culinary Association Nations
- Lenore Newman, Director, Food and Agriculture Institute, University of the Fraser Valley
- Fawn Jackson, Director of Policy and International Relations, Canadian Cattlemen’s Association
- Francis Lo, Co-Founder, Yoso
The food on our plates may look different in the years to come and this panel was a chance to explore this further.
Food Sovereignty’s Role
Understanding food sovereignty’s role has the power to help shape the future of food.
In this panel, moderated by Philip Loring, Arrell Chair in Food, Policy and Society, we uncovered issues that affect people’s right to food. We learned more about Indigenous food sovereignty and were encouraged to consider our relationship to the land we live on and our food. The discussions also emphasized the issue many people have, especially marginalized communities, with accessing food and that decision makers and all of us must do more to ensure people in Canada and across the world can access food they need.
This panel featured:
- Hansel Igbavboa, Filmmaker, Photographer and Right to Food Campaign Coordinator, FoodShare and Black Youth Farming Collective
- Loren Cardeli, Co-Founder and Executive Director, A Growing Culture
- Adrianne Xavier, Acting Director of the Indigenous Studies Program, McMaster University
This session also included an interview with Michelle Week, Owner, x̌ast sq̓it (Good Rain) farm.
Investing in the Future with Alison Sunstrum
In this interview hosted by Malcolm Campbell, Vice-President, Research at the University of Guelph, Alison Sunstrum gave us a view into the world of investing in agriculture technology. Alison shared stats about business development in Canada, how this country compares to others and explained the importance of investing in technology and new ventures to create change. The future of food depends on innovation and money, and this session provided us with more insight into how we can support major changes in our food systems and make Canada a leader on the global scale.
Thoughts from Future Leaders
To conclude the program we heard from future leaders to get a sense of what the emerging priorities are. In addition to technology and innovation playing an important role, the panel also covered the importance of access to food and what food means to community. This panel, moderated by Arrell Food Institute’s Jeanna Rex, included:
- Syma Habib, Foodfit Special Projects Manager, Community Food Centres Canada
- Mariline Mailhot, Director Marketing, Innovation & Product Develoopment – Ice Cream, Argopur Dairy Cooperative
- Brett Schuyler, Owner, Schuyler Farms
This group inspired our participants and gave thoughtful views as to what could be the most significant priorities in the years to come.

text: Tourism Radio is a travel technology company based in Cape Town, South Africa, which produces location-based technology used in bespoke GPS in-car devices and IOS and Android mobile applications. The technology allows the user to take a tour of a city or pre-defined area, with geo-located,pre-recorded audio travel information triggering automatically as the user approaches them. The Tourism Radio in-car device plugs into a standard vehicle cigarette lighter and broadcasts a selection of local and international music along with location-specific travel information about the area the vehicle is driving through. Currently there are approximately 3,300 of these devices used in South Africa, Namibia, New Zealand and Angola. Distribution of the devices to tourists is done in partnership with local Destination Marketing Organisations (DMOs) and car/motorhome rental agencies. The iOS and Android applications do not broadcast a selection of music, but use the same geo-location principle to give the user relevant travel information about the area they are in. This includes information about a general area or suburb, as well as information about specific points of interest, such as museums, art galleries, historical attractions, restaurants, nature walks, beaches, etc.

Jessica gets an emergency call from Harry McGraw, who needs money to train a boxer so he can pay off a debt. While Jessica loans Harry the money and asks him to keep her out of it, circumstances demand her involvement when Harry gets framed for the death of corrupt boxing manager Wade Talmage. Though Talmage had a list of enemies as long as the list of prize fighters he dealt with, Lt. Casey insists on targeting Harry as the prime suspect. Jessica finds herself stepping out of her comfort zone and into the ring to clear her friend's name.
This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
- Backup Bluff: When Jessica calls to Lt. Casey after luring Sean Shaleen into a confession, Sean scoffs, clearly thinking she's trying to pretend she's got help so he won't kill her and Harry. Of course, he was wrong.
- Chekhov's Gun: A TV report on Sean says he started as an expert shooter before becoming a prizefighter. He turns out to have killed Mr. Talmage with a shotgun so he wouldn't have to take a dive.
- Ignored Enamored Underling: Pamela, Mr. Robinson's photographer, absolutely adores him, but she thinks he'll never reciprocate her affections given his obsession with his career and revenge against Talmage. However, after he drops his crusade, Jessica tells her prizefighting team that they're planning to marry.
- I Take Offense to That Last One!: When Harry reads the story about Talmage's murder, it upsets him more that the newspaper claimed he is 47 years old than that he was still the primary suspect.
- Sexy Discretion Shot: In Harry's explanatory flashback, Lois Ames comes to his apartment and they begin kissing. Then the camera cuts to the interrogation room. Jessica tells Harry she doesn't need the details.
- Vengeance Feels Empty: Mr. Robinson doesn't actually get his revenge on Talmage, given that he kills the story about his corrupt nature before it goes to press. However, he tells Jessica that he gave up his crusade because he realized Talmage was still ruining his life from the grave. After letting go, he feels much better.
- You Killed My Father: A variant; the sportswriter, Mr. Robinson, wants to destroy Talmage, posthumously if necessary, because he forced his father to throw a fight and got him beaten into a near-vegetative state.


Madhya Pradesh Congress MLA Bisahu Lal Singh returned to the party’s fold on Sunday after going “missing” for over a week, PTI reported. Two more MLAs are still “missing”. Surendra Singh Shera, the Independent MLA from Burhanpur backing the Congress-led government in the state, had returned on Saturday.
Bisahu Lal Singh went to Bhopal to meet Chief Minister Kamal Nath at his residence, after taking a flight to Indore from Bengaluru. Madhya Pradesh Tourism Minister Surendra Singh Baghel accompanied him.
Bisahu Lal Singh’s family had filed a missing person complaint after he became untraceable. Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Bala Bachchan claimed that the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party’s bid to topple the Congress-led government had failed.
Bachchan also expressed confidence that two more Congress legislators – Hardeep Singh Dang and Raghuraj Kansana – who are believed to be in Bengaluru, will return soon. He said that the Kamal Nath-led government, which also comprises MLAs from the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Samajwadi Party, will complete its five-year term.
On March 6, Hardeep Singh Dang, the MLA from Suwasra, was reported to have sent his resignation letter, accusing the Congress of factionalism and corruption. However, Assembly Speaker NP Prajapati said Dang had not submitted the resignation to him in person, and that appropriate steps would be taken once it was done.
On March 3, the Congress had alleged that 10 MLAs who support its government in Madhya Pradesh had been taken by the BJP to a hotel in Gurugram. Late that night, the party claimed to have “rescued” six of them – four of the Congress and one each of the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party.
However, four MLAs remained missing and were allegedly taken to Bengaluru. This included Dang, Kansana, Bisahu Lal Singh and Independent MLA Shera. On March 5, the Congress claimed that the BJP had “abducted” 14 of its MLAs , but details of this allegation are not clear.
In the 230-seat Madhya Pradesh Assembly, the Congress has 114 MLAs and the BJP has 107. Out of the rest of the seats, the BSP has two and the Samajwadi Party has one. Four are Independent MLAs, while two seats are currently vacant.
