For many of my growing up years, I was raised as an only child. But it wasn’t because I didn’t have a sibling. I did, and still do, though he has not been an active part of my life for many years. For reasons that are his alone to share, my brother left our family at a fairly young age, and sometimes it feels as though he’s never looked back. After he left, our house was too quiet. It’s a strange feeling to grieve the loss of someone who is still alive. Even after all of these years, there is a hole in my heart where a relationship with my sibling should reside, and I know that I’m not alone in my feelings. There are fractured families and severed sibling relationships on every street in America. While my story is not unique, that knowledge doesn’t make my loss any less significant. My brother no longer comes home for the holidays. He’s never met my youngest son who is soon to be four years old. He’s not stepped foot into the house where I’m raising my family, and I know just as little about the life that he’s built. We do talk every once in awhile. He has the uncanny ability to swoop in by phone right when I need him most, and I’m thankful for that. But my heart has always longed for more.
The reality is that the loss of a relationship with my brother has not only shaped who I’ve become as a person; it has also shaped who I’ve become as a parent. It’s one of the reasons why I wanted a large family of my own. It’s why I’m a bit extreme when it comes to planning crowded, loud, over the top holiday celebrations. And if I’m being honest, it played into my decision to homeschool my children so that they could spend most of their childhood living life together. There’s not much that I value more in life than the relationships that my children are building with each other.
I often tell my children that the greatest gift I will ever give them is the gift of each other. I believe this to be true with all of my heart, and I strive daily to strengthen their sibling bonds.
My methods aren’t perfect. They aren’t a guarantee that my children will remain close. But they are my best effort towards tying our family’s heartstrings in the years that I’ve been given, and I’d like to share them with you here.
5 Tips for Fostering Family Friendships:
Remove the Alternatives
If we want our children to be best friends, we must remove any alternatives producing the opposite effect. Whether that be activities, media, outside friendships, or things… if they are coming between our children and dividing hearts, they must go. (This doesn’t mean my children don’t have friends outside of our family. They do, but if those friendships don’t encourage our family as a whole, then an adjustment must be made. And it’s the same with anything else that leads my children to believe that ‘self’ is more important than ‘team’.) If we want to raise siblings who are close, we must be willing to eliminate anything that hinders that goal.
Family Fun Days
In the summer, when all of your children are home, choose one day each week to be your designated family fun day. Go on an adventure together or stay home and play games. It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you follow the rule of no extra friends, cellphones, or individual screens allowed. Make your people your priority. Show your children that family can be fun!
Family Home Night
Select one night each week to spend time together as a family. Build friendships in your home by sharing a meal together, talking together, laughing together, dreaming together, and working together. Make sure that your family relationships don’t get pushed to the side amidst your crazy schedules and busy lives.
When we are forced to share space, we can’t help but share ourselves. We have plenty of bedrooms in our home, but our children still share. Consider an open door policy (unless someone is changing, etc.). We can’t build camaraderie if we are each living life in separate corners of the house.
You may not see the fruit of their friendships until later in life, but don’t be mistaken. If we don’t tie the strings of friendship early on with our children, encouraging relationships later will be all the more difficult.
Raising best friends is hard work. It can be tempting, at times, to throw in the towel and let the cards fall where they may, but I choose to believe that fostering family friendships is worth it.

Facing budget cuts from the state government, the Board of Regents of Connecticut State Colleges and Universities voted on April 6 to consolidate the state’s 12 community colleges into one — a move that immediately drew criticism from community college leaders in the state.
The BOR’s decision comes in response to a projected decrease in education funding of at least $35 million in the upcoming fiscal year. Some of that increased cost will be offset by a 4 percent tuition increase at state universities and a 2.5 percent increase at community colleges. However, those increases are not unusually high and do not compensate for the deep budget cuts that the CSCU system is expected to face as a result of the state’s projected fiscal year 2018 budget.
“We have asked students to bear a portion of the cost of their education through tuition and fee increases, but we cannot charge them the double-digit increases required to balance the budget without compromising affordability,” CSCU President Mark Ojakian wrote in a letter to the CSCU community.
In his letter, Ojakian presented a two-part solution to the problem. The first part would be to consolidate all CSCU institutions and system offices of “non–student-facing and administrative personnel.” As this measure would impact both community colleges and public universities, it would save the system $13 million.
Ojakian defined the second part of the solution as consolidating the operations of the state’s 12 community colleges, which would save a projected $28 million. He did not offer additional information on how this would be accomplished.
Community college leaders criticized the lack of detail in the proposal. Despite this lack of detail, the BOR quickly voted to approve the plan with very little discussion, according to Lois Aime, director of educational technology and president of the college senate at Norwalk Community College.
It remains unclear what exactly Ojakian meant by consolidation, though most believe it will take the form of a central office with each of the campuses serving as satellite campuses, according to Aime and Bob Brown, a member of the BOR Faculty Advisory Committee.
More concrete plans will be made and announced in the near future by what Brown, also a faculty member at Tunxis Community College, referred to as “implementation teams.” To address the uncertainty within the community, Ojakian is visiting all CSCU community college and university campuses in the coming weeks to speak with administrators.
“We’ll be asking a lot of questions on Monday but are not expecting many concrete answers. Frankly, I don’t think [Ojakian] has any,” Aime said.
Members of the Faculty Advisory Committee of the Board of Regents expressed skepticism about whether the plan will actually save $28 million. Ojakian did not present an outline of exactly where those savings would be made, though Aime and Brown said they believe much of the budget cut will come from the elimination of high-level positions such as presidents and deans.
These cuts have already begun to happen at Tunxis Community College.
“Our president is retiring at the end of June and there is no search for a new permanent one at this point,” Brown said. “We are getting an interim president.”
In his letter, Ojakian claimed the proposal was based on principles of keeping students first — meaning that “students are at the center of any proposed strategies,” he wrote. Aime and Brown both raised concerns over how this would impact students.
“This is not students first. Each community college has a unique community and student body,” Aime said. “You take that ability away from us by removing the higher-level administration — what presidents do is go out into the community and understand what it needs. We have a foundation that is specific to Norwalk Community College. If there is no Norwalk Community College, what happens to our foundation?”
According to the proposal, most of the savings would be made in the state community college system, not public universities. Brown believes that is the case because the state community colleges are less financially stable than its universities. Some, he said, are just scraping by, whereas others are running on a deficit.
For Vice Chair of the Faculty Advisory Commission to the BOR Barbara Richards, any cuts to community colleges are a concern.
“The community colleges serve most of the low-income students in Connecticut. As a faculty member at Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport and a resident of New Haven, I am concerned about the impact of this proposal on our urban communities and our state,” Richards said.
The BOR is composed of 19 members and oversees the state’s four universities, 12 community colleges and Charter Oak State College.

Grid collapse. A certain Mr Rajiv Gupta from the Punjab today was blamed for bringing chaos to 670 million people when he decided to plug the kettle in to make some tea. He is quoted as being extremely sorry.
Seriously this is what happens when a government refuses to take responsibility for it’s national grid and plan for future power supply and consumption and this is no laughing matter not for India or elsewhere especially in the West where the a*seholes we call politicians have refused to face up to their responsibility’s for decades to literally keep the lights on. Or are making really really really stupid decisions to line their own pockets such as “Green energy” with little thought to the future.

Solar Powered Grasshopper Kit
Solar Powered Grasshopper Kit : This grasshopper is a little crazy. When the sun shines on its solar paneled back it jumps around all over the place. A great demonstration of a solar panel converting clean light energy from the sun into electricity. Have your students in fits of laughter as they learn about environmentally friendly sources of electricity.
What you get?
Solar powered grasshopper toy in a blister pack (grasshopper is approximately 4 cm from head to tail).
How does it work?
No batteries required, the sunlight does all the work. When the grasshopper is in direct sunlight, the solar panel on its back converts the light energy into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy, in turn, powers the micro vibration motor causing this crazy critter to jump about. A strong artificial light source, like a spot light, can be used as an alternative to the sun. A unique and memorable way to learn about solar panels.
How solar cells convert the suns light energy into electrical energy.
Using solar energy as a clean and environmentally friendly alternative from burning fossil fuels for electricity.
Global warming and the green house effect.
A great educational tool for kids and adults, this little grasshopper jumps around in the sun. How crazy it gets depends on how bright the sun is. The tiny solar panel looks like a mini version of the ones you may have on your roof. It directly powers an eccentrically weighted motor for loads of wobbly action.
The Solar Kit Grasshopper is the ideal starter product for anyone learning about solar energy. After constructing the grasshopper with the seven pieces included in the kit, place it in the sun (or under a bright light) to charge the solar panels. The solar panels then convert the energy from the sun into electricity which powers the micro vibration motor, causing the grasshopper to wiggle, dance and move around. This kit can be used as an educational activity to demonstrate the conversion of energy, as a beginner construction kit or just as a fun, interactive toy or everyone to enjoy.
Includes instruction manual with diagrams.
Adult supervision is required. Not suitable for children under three years of age.
Grasshopper size: 40 x 20 x 25mm
Package size: 165 x 80 x 35mm

How To: Make Homemade Croutons
Seriously — homemade croutons are super-easy to make, and they are oh-so-tastier than anything you buy at the store. You also don’t have to worry about preservatives or suspicious-sounding ingredients. But the best part is that you get to choose your own breads, oils and seasonings!
I’ve included a bunch of ingredient ideas and variations on the recipe below. But the bottom line is that this is a total “method” — just use whatever ingredients you have on hand. Your salads, stuffings, and soups will thank you. :)
- loaf of quality bread (preferably a day or two old), cut into about 1-inch cubes
- about 1/4 cup olive oil
- salt and pepper
- seasonings (optional - see tip below)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, evenly drizzle or use a Misto to mist olive oil over the bread. Toss until well mixed, and the bread is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper, and additional seasonings (if desired). Toss once more until seasonings are evenly distributed.
Spread bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden, turning to brown all sides. Cooking time will depend on the thickeness of the cubes, so watch that they do not burn. (Mine generally take between 15-20 minutes.) Remove from oven, and let cool completely. Store in an air-tight container. Use within one week, or freeze for up to 6 months.
Season using a salad dressing instead of oil and herbs
Ground up the croutons once baked to make toasted breadcrumbs
Bake in a toaster oven
Use different kinds of bread (sourdough, rye, etc...or even sandwich bread)
Use different kinds of dried seasonings. Some of my favorites are...
Italian seasonings (thyme, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, basil, etc.)
I prefer to use a sprayer (I have a Misto) to coat these with oil. It allows you to use a little less oil, but spreads more evenly than drizzling.

MICROSOFT is telling its selected gaming industry chaps that gaming under Vista will be ten to fifteen per cent slower than XP. It is because you have to load the 3D desktop all the time. It is ironic, as the same company tells the developers that the same API can do certain things up to four times faster.
We are preparing to check this claim but the really pesky thing is that you won’t be able to run DirectX 10 games on Windows XP at all. So even a game like Crysis - the first DirectX 10 title - won’t be that much of a DX 10. We are still far away from DirectX 10 only games but don’t be surprised as there is no single DirectX 10 card the market. This should change in the next few weeks, but we are still far away from mainstream and low end DirectX 10 cards.
Windows Vista gaming 10-15% slower?

Guitar Ensemble Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download
By Fleetwood Mac. By Christine Mcvie. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Pop,Rock. Score and parts. 31 pages. Derek Hasted #5205403. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.797762).
SAY YOU LOVE ME (Fleetwood Mac) - FOUR GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLE
For Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.
Derek Hasted writes "This is a real crowd-pleaser that will suit any informal concert.
My arrangement of 'Say You Love Me' is faithful to the Fleetwood Mac original in both the key and the number of sections that it contains. The piece closes with a final chord instead of a long fade out, but it's a big piece with a big sound and it runs for nearly four minutes at the recommended tempo.
There are two bass parts in this edition - one in treble clef and one in bass clef...
The arrangement works well with 4 guitars, but a larger ensemble will find it easy to get much more drive and power! In a large ensemble, the syncopated rhythms need to be tight and accurate if they are to provide a compelling rhythmic support to the tune.
It’s worth mentioning that the name Fleetwood Mac derives from the group’s founder, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie (Mac), their bass player. Why tell you that? Because the Guitar 4 part is a close representation to the original bass line played by John McVie, and what a fantastic bass line it is! The two bass parts (treble clef and bass clef) are identical and between them, they suit guitar, contrabass guitar, electric bass or double bass. For a fuller sound in a large ensemble, one can place a guitar or two alongside a bass instrument.
The standard across the parts varies from intermediate to advanced intermediate, so it's great for an ensemble of mixed abilities.
I hope you enjoy this piece!"
This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts. Derek's website at www.derek-hasted.co.uk/smp lists all his arrangements by title and by "number of instruments", with links to soundclips and sample score.

Samsung Galaxy Watch3. (Samsung)
COTEKNO.COM – The grand exhibition of the mobile communications industry starting at the end of June will be put to good use by Samsung. According to the latest leak, Samsung is predicted to introduce a new Wear OS for the company’s line of smartwatches.
Leaks coming from Sam Mobile claims that Samsung may be preparing something on its next-generation smartwatch. Samsung is expected to unveil some parts of the new OS during MWC 2021 online later this month.
Please note, Mobile World Congress 2021 (MWC 2021) is scheduled for June 28 to July 1. Rumors of a new version of Wear OS came from a “teaser” uploaded by the company.
Samsung has mentioned on the official MWC website that they will “re-visualizing smartwatches, creating new opportunities for developers and consumers“.
Teaser sentence ” Reimagining Smartwatch” is speculated to be pointing to the company’s new OS. Google has showcased some of the features of the new Wear OS version (not the final OS name) that will run on the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch Active 4 during last month’s Google I/O.
Quoted from GizmochinaThe smartwatch will be the latest wearable device from the company to feature a Super AMOLED display along with the 5nm Exynos chipset.
Google and Samsung have jointly developed the upcoming version of Wear OS. The new platform features up to 30 percent faster app loading times, improved power efficiency for longer battery life, improved App Stock, and several other additional features.
There will be a newer version of Google Fit, a standalone Google Maps app, Google Pay, YouTube Music with offline playback and a Fitbit app.
The brand also added that it can also add custom UI on top of the next generation Wear OS. Previously, Apple had introduced watchOS 8 with support for Ultra Wideband technology.
Some of the added features include digital car keys, new exercise modes (Pilates and Tai Chi), photo display settings to smart home controller features. Given that Apple has already updated the OS version on the company’s smartwatches, it’s not impossible that Samsung is doing the same with the new Wear OS.

No need to adjust your computer screens, what you’re seeing is indeed a new car, even though it looks like it’s come fresh from the 1960s. There’s a reason for that, it has. Well not literally but the basis of the car comes from the swinging 60s.
Straight from the 60s (sort of)
Caterham seemingly planned this variant of the Seven back in the mid-60s but it never hit showrooms, until now. You only need to look at it and you can tell it’s something a bit special, it has retro hubcaps and a steering wheel that will make you reminiscent of your grandfather’s car.
Obviously it’s up to date with the modern day, so it will have brakes that actually work and and an engine that won’t break down every time it gets a little cold or wet. It’s the same 80bhp Suzuki engine used is the entry level Seven 160. So don’t expect a fast top speed but I suppose that’s not a bad thing as this is all about the ride and handling rather than setting new lap records.
A fitting debut
The Seven Sprint will make a fitting debut at this year’s Goodwood Revival event and goes on sale from today at a price of £27,995 which is a fair bit of money if you ask me, especially as you’ll only get 80bhp for your hard earned cash. It’ll be available in six retro colours, Cream, Mellow Yellow, Regency Red, Camberwick Green, British Racing Green and Misty Blue.
That’s not the only thing you’ll get though, the interior and luggage spaces are fully carpeted to give it a 60s style and the whole package just looks superb. It may not have much power but I bet you a pound to a penny it has plenty of charm and character!

Knowing whether you need a wired system or a wireless one. Normally we recommend wireless system because it is much easier for you to install.
Knowing a complete alarm system not only includes the common burglar alarm, but also includes fire alarm(smoke alarm), panic alarm, and environmental Alarm.
Count the number of doors and windows of your house which a burglar may access. Your alarm system should cover all the entrances in your house.
If you are pet owner, we recommend you to use pet friendly PIR motion sensor to immunity your pet. Because pet can even trigger a false alarm.
Decide if you need Smoke sensor, Gas sensor, Wireless Flash Siren to beef up your alarm system.
Find a proper place to install the alarm panel.
If you have problem of installation after reading user manual, it is better to ask for help rather than a faulty installation.
The first step in eliminating false alarms is to find out what is causing them(the cause for it), such as faulty installation, loose door/window contacts, low batteries or some other equipment issues.
Whether you are leaving your house for a few short minutes, working from home during the day or vacationing on the other side of the world, your alarm system should be armed and ready to alert you at all times.

The search is on for a dangerous albino cobra.
The poisonous snake was last seen slithering across the 1300 block of Rancho Lane in Thousand Oaks, CA.
Officials said it already attacked a dog and its bite can be deadly.
LA County Animal Care and Control poked around the neighborhood into the evening on Thursday. It passed out flyers warning people who lived there to be careful of the albino monocle cobra.
"It's going to hang around the neighborhood because of the drought," said animal control expert Bo Slyapich. "We have the rodents in the water. Nothing's leaving the neighborhood. Everything's coming in."
Slyapich spent 30 years corralling rattle snakes from the yards of frightened families. He's often called upon by Animal Care and Control for help.
Slyapich said the cobra can hide in trees, small openings and in bushes. Basically anywhere.
It also knows it's being hunted.
"They'll defend themselves," said Slyapich. "They don't want to have anything to do with us. But if we scare it, startle it, step on it, it will bite us."
As neighbors asked for advice on what to do, the slippery escapee got to spend another night free.

HB 1440 had a public hearing in the House Higher Education committee. You can watch the committee testimony below:
January 19, 2017
Today I introduced HB 1440 – The Student Loan Bill of Rights.
According to the state Attorney General’s office, hundreds of complaints have been filed against student loan servicing companies and third-party loan modification companies over questionable operating procedures and debt readjustment scams that prey on students struggling to make their loan payments.
More than half of Washington students have student debt after leaving college. Navigating the repayment process can be difficult and in some cases, student loan services are steering borrowers toward decisions that are not in the borrower’s best interest.
The Washington Student Loan Bill of Rights would prohibit harmful business practices by student loan servicing companies and third-party loan modification companies such cutting off communication with a borrower, reporting inaccurate information to credit bureaus, and encouraging borrowers to waive their legal rights. Students paying off college debt will have additional consumer protections against scams and other harmful business practices under this bill.
The legislation would also create a Student Education Loan Ombuds within the Washington State Student Achievement Council. The ombuds would be responsible for fielding complaints from student borrowers and helping borrowers better understand their rights and responsibilities under their loan agreement.
Some bad actors have received attention for not providing quality service to borrowers. Student borrowers expect a level of customer service that helps them repay their loans. This bill will protect our students in Washington state.

State Treasurer Pellicciotti Wants More People with Disabilities to Have Financial Security
State Treasurer Mike Pellicciotti called on Congress today to allow more people with disabilities to set up tax-advantaged savings programs.
“I want more people with disabilities in our state to benefit from those programs that can serve their long-term financial needs,” said Pellicciotti.
As State Treasurer, Pellicciotti serves as the elected official on Washington’s Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) program’s governing board, which is managed by the State Department of Commerce to provide tax-advantaged savings programs for eligible people with disabilities. Federal law currently limits access to the ABLE program only to those Washingtonians who became disabled by age 26. The ABLE program allows participants to save up to $15,000 per year tax-free for the future, while still receiving their SSI benefits today for education, job training, assistive technology and services, and transportation.
In letters sent to the Washington congressional delegation today, Pellicciotti urged that those representing the state in the House and Senate support the ABLE Age Adjustment Act, which would expand the age that a person must have a disability from 26 to 46 years old, allowing over 6 million more Americans to start saving money through the ABLE program.
“Too many disabled Washingtonians, including veterans and others disabled later in life, cannot receive federal tax advantages to their savings plans, simply because they became disabled after they turned 26 years old,” said Pellicciotti. “It is not right that many who fought for years to establish this program are unable themselves to receive the benefits of the program based on age restrictions,” said Pellicciotti.
By expanding the age cap for ABLE accounts, The National Disability Institute projects that nationally over 6 million more people living with a disability will have access to this entitlement and an opportunity for financial security, improving their quality of life.
Washington state’s ABLE program was authorized by the legislature in 2016, allowing the Washington State ABLE program to open in 2018.

I have considered using several images in preparing for this assignment, including one of the images of Hinkley's assassination attempt on Reagan, a photo of the Wall Street Yuppie, an image of the HIV virus, all of which I see as being representative of iconic 1980s America. In the end though, I have settled on this image which is a still from the movie The Breakfast Club. As a teenager in 1980s I was profoundly affected by the movies of director John Hughes, and I think that more than any other, this movie helped to mould me into the adult I have become, and I see it as representing everything the USA was during the eighties for several reasons.
Firstly, I believed that it presented me with an idea of what it meant to be an American teenager, and helped to develop my interest in and love of American culture. Secondly it influenced my political and social views with its notion of inclusivity and togetherness.
I recognise that this is a very subjective view as a result of my personal connection to the period. However, I feel that the film also represents the way America wanted to see itself. The film tells the story of five students who on the surface of things seem to be very different from each other and unlikely to find any common ground. However, over the course of a Saturday detention the students begin to share stories about their backgrounds, and after some initial personality clashes which have ultimately arisen as a result of judgements having been made early on, the five join forces to stand up to the school bully - the teacher. This key theme of putting aside our differences and allowing ourselves to see the best in each other is definitely a perspective that eighties America was keen to put at the forefront of its optimistic outlook. I really think, shocking as it might sound, that it was through the television and film of 1980s American popular culture that I was properly introduced to people from other cultures - I grew up in the rural south of England where until I was eleven years old I had only ever seen white faces and even throughout my secondary school life I only ever encountered one person who was not of white British heritage, Interestingly, all the characters in the film are white, and the film would not withstand too much analysis about its cultural representation, but for me I was happy at the time to accept the social message without too much analysis.

Washington, Sep 12 – Los Angeles County (California) recorded the first confirmed death from monkeypox in the United States, according to the Department of Public Health, which indicated that the deceased suffered from severe systemic complications. immune.
In late August, the Texas Department of Health reported the death of a monkeypox patient, but it has not yet been determined whether the person died of monkeypox or some other reason.
The Los Angeles patient died when he was already admitted to the hospital, the Department of Public Health said in a statement, and that monkeypox has been the cause of death was confirmed by the US Centers for Disease Control. USA (CDC).
According to the latest data from the CDC, on Monday, the United States accumulates the highest number of global cases of monkeypox, with 21,985, out of a total of about 58,000 worldwide.
The two states with the most cases are two of the largest in the country: California (4,300) and New York (3,591).
The US health authorities were “cautiously optimistic” in August, because although the numbers of infections continue to rise, the rate of increase has slowed, especially in the most affected constituencies.


CHICAGO — The CTA is giving away kits with hand sanitizer, a reusable cloth mask and a guide with healthy riding tips.
The kits are going out as more people return to work and traveling because businesses and workplaces are reopening after being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
CTA President Dorval Carter Jr. said hand sanitizer and wearing a mask are “two simple and effective ways” people can stay safe and protect other riders, according to a press release.

What is NISP?
NISP is a regional water supply project coordinated by Northern Water on behalf of 15 Northern Front Range water providers. Its goal is to provide participating water providers with approximately 40,000 acre-feet of new, reliable water supply each year.
At its most basic, NISP would store excess water currently leaving the state in years of abundance for use in meeting future water supply needs.
The proposed Northern Integrated Supply Project would include:
- Glade Reservoir
- South Platte Water Conservation Project (Galeton Reservoir)
Future site of Glade Reservoir northwest of Fort
Collins (view facing south)
How NISP Works
During wet times, when the Glade water right is in priority, the project will divert water at the existing Poudre Valley Canal near the mouth of Poudre Canyon. This will occur during periods of high flow, such as above average snowmelt years or during large rain events.
The maximum diversion rate would be limited to approximately 1,000 cubic foot per second. The Poudre Valley Canal will carry water to the Glade Forebay Reservoir, where it will be pumped up into Glade Reservoir.
The South Platte Water Conservation Project and its Galeton Reservoir will operate as a key component of the Northern Integrated Supply Project.
South Platte water will be pumped to Galeton Reservoir during winter and spring months. During the irrigation season water will be released to the two largest ditch companies in the Poudre Basin – New Cache Irrigating and Larimer and Weld.
Through a series of exchanges the ditch companies will receive about one quarter of their total supply from Galeton Reservoir and its pipelines while a like amount of water will be diverted upstream at the Poudre Valley Canal and stored in Glade Reservoir.
When the SPWCP water rights are in priority, water will be diverted from the South Platte River for storage in Galeton Reservoir or for direct use from irrigation canals.
How NISP works: Click the arrow in this illustration to play the NISP animation.
Poudre Valley CanalThe water to fill Glade would be diverted from the Poudre River using the already existing Poudre Valley Canal. No new structures will be on the river and no project facilities would be built within the wild and scenic Poudre Canyon. The canal may be lined and improved to allow the NISP water to be carried into the Glade forebay reservoir.
South Platte Water Conservation Project (Galeton Reservoir) Galeton Reservoir would be located east of Ault and northeast of Greeley. It would hold approximately 45,000 acre-feet of water at capacity.
The diversion at the South Platte River downstream of Greeley would have a pumping capacity of 200 cfs. Galeton water would be delivered to two agricultural irrigation companies (New Cache la Poudre Irrigating and Larimer and Weld) in exchange for a portion of the Poudre River water they currently use, which will be diverted into Glade Reservoir. This exchange would provide approximately 60 percent of the NISP yield and is water that has historically been diverted.
This reservoir would be located northwest of Fort Collins along a current stretch of U.S. Highway 287 north of Ted’s Place (the intersection of Highway 287 and Highway 14). It would be approximately 5 miles long, 260 feet deep and have a capacity to store 170,000 acre-feet of water, or slightly larger than Horsetooth Reservoir, which holds about 156,000 acre-feet.

A New Assault on Religious Freedom? Maybe.
Beginning late last year, key figures in the Obama administration, including Hillary Clinton and the President himself, have consistently used the phrase “freedom to worship” when making references to “freedom of religion”. Some call it semantics, but others including, Christianity Today, The National Catholic Register and Chuck Colson believe it signals a deliberate assault on our 1st Amendment rights of religious expression.
As an organization dedicated to defending religious liberties, we recognize that religious expression is not limited to private devotions or one hour on Sunday morning. Freedom of religion includes the right to educate our children in private Christian schools or at home if we choose … the right for doctors to choose not to perform abortions … the right of religious institutions to include faith and lifestyle standards for their employees … and the right to freely challenge public policy decisions like same-sex marriage.
By the way, these are all examples of religious liberty issues that OFC has defended in the recent past here in Oregon.
Follow the two links below to learn more about what appears to be a concerted effort to minimize the extend of our first amendment right to religious freedom. Or talk to us, we welcome your comments.


VIDEO: Kevin Alston, treated for leukemia, talks about New England Revolution return
After Kevin Alston’s distressing diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia, and through the treatments that took him out of the game for more than three months, the New England Revolution defender kept himself around the team as much as possible.
Showing up to practices and team functions helped keep him “grounded,” Alston said, assisting in keeping his mind in a happier place by being around the game and the teammates he loved.
Alston is on the Revs’ travel 18-man squad as it goes into DSG Park tonight outside Denver to take on the Colorado Rapids, hoping to play for the first time in more than four months.
In the vide below from the Revolution, the former MLS All-Star talks about getting back, about the ongoing treatment, how he’s doing physically now – “night and day from how I felt before,” he said – about the support he received from around MLS, and more.
He also talks about becoming an inspiration figure: “If it inspires someone, then great. I don’t look at myself as an inspirational person. But with this diagnosis comes some responsibility to help with awareness and … some inspiration, as best as I can do.”

CURTIN ASYLUM SEEKER IN SERIOUS CONDITION IN PERTH HOSPITAL
An Afghan asylum seeker, Ali, around 30 years old, is in Perth hospital with serious injuries following a suicide attempt at Curtin detention centre on Thursday, 7 April.
It is believed that the asylum seeker through himself bodily through a plate glass window at the detention centre. Among other injuries, it is feared that he may permanently lose some use of his arm. Ali had been in detention about 16 months. His attempted suicide follows at least two previous attempts.
“Ali should not have been in detention. Even under John Howard, asylum seekers who needed special medical attention were accommodated outside detention centres. Ali should have been in a clinic or living in the community.The government’s punitive policy is killing people,” said Ian Rintoul, spokesperson for the Refugee Action Coalition.
“The Curtin detention centre is in severe crisis with self harm incidents and suicide attempts becoming a daily occurrence. Asylum seekers are being flown to Perth with serious injuries at a rate of one a week. It is a shocking statistic.
“The length of time in detention, the uncertainty, and the number of rejections are taking a terrible toll on the asylum seekers. The sheer number of self harm attempts is itself adding to a downward spiral of despair and distress inside the detention centres.
“The government must act urgently to get these people out of detention. There is no national security risk, but there is a very real risk to the health and the lives of the thousands in detention.
“Some people in Curtin are only getting reviews of their initial rejections that happened five months ago. They face another six months before getting an answer to those appeals. The government is aware that a large majority of the Afghan asylum seekers will get successful appeals.
“There is an Afghan MP, Mohammad Mohaqiq, is touring Australian requesting that the government does not forcibly return people fleeing persecution, yet the government persists in imprisoning people. Their policy is just not tenable.”

Provided by Prince William Public Library System
On Friday, May 20, seventeen fallen soldiers from the American Civil War will be remembered at a tree dedication ceremony in Haymarket. At the Haymarket-Gainesville Community Library, the nonprofit Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, as part of the organization’s Living Legacy Project, has already planted the trees. The project plans to plant one tree for each soldier that died during one of America’s most defining moments. “Prince William County is steeped in Civil War history so we are thrilled this is the first planting we are doing here,” said Shuan Butcher, director of the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Scenic Byway. “But we know it will not be our last.”
The Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership has worked closely with the Prince William Public Library System and the Prince William County Historic Preservation Division on this event. Some of the soldiers being honored had Prince William connections or died because of the First or Second Battle of Manassas. The Historic Preservation Division provided some of the research on the fallen soldiers. In addition, the Library System actively worked with a local Boy Scout to plant some of these trees as part of his Eagle Scout project. All of these efforts will be recognized during the dedication ceremony. In addition, the Library System also arranged a Mountain View Elementary School student who will recite a poem about a soldier that died at Bushy Park during the event.”What a wonderful way to highlight, once again, our community’s remarkable historic past with our beautiful new library,” said Constance Gilman, Prince William Public Library System Director.
As plantings continue, the Living Legacy Project will eventually stretch along the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Scenic Byway, a 180-mile swath of land that runs from Gettysburg, PA to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, VA. The Haymarket-Gainesville Community Library is located right off the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Scenic Byway, which crosses the Mason Dixon Line and serves as an artery that connects the many battlefields and towns that were gravely impacted by the Civil War.
The Living Legacy Project will create a unified color palette that reminds visitors that they are, indeed, on hallowed ground. Upon completion, this initiative will create the first 180 mile landscaped allée in the world and the only allée dedicated to honoring the most defining moment in American history. A signature palette of seasonal trees and plantings, including redbuds, red oaks, red maple, and red cedar have been selected to represent the courage and valor of the individuals being honored with this project. A secondary palette, including canopy and understory trees, evergreens, shrubs, and ground coverings, will also feature red as a predominant color, with plantings including black gum trees, sassafras, and winterberry. The native selection is appropriate to the diverse landscapes along this historic corridor, and remains sensitive to the local ecology, scenic views, and development patterns.
The dedication ceremony, which is open to the public, is scheduled for 11:00 a. m. on May 20, 2016, rain or shine. Afterwards, optional tours of the adjacent historic house, the Bushy Park Home, will be offered to those in attendance as well. For more information on the Living Legacy Project, visit hallowedground.org, and visit pwcgov.org/library for event information.

F1 Esports champion Brendon Leigh is set to take part in an event at the 2018 Race of Champions which is being held in Saudi Arabia and will could see him go up against a variety of legendary drivers in real life ROC.
Last year the ROC featured active F1 drivers Sebastian Vettel and Felipe Massa, former F1 drivers David Coulthard and Jenson Button, Indy 500 winners Helio Castroneves and Juan Pablo Montoya and Le Mans legend, Tom Kristensen.
The winner of the “eRace of Champions” will progress to the main event and join the ‘Worlds Fastest Gamer’ Rudy van Buren, who has already qualified for the main event as the ‘virtual world champion’.
“It was one of my first objectives I discussed with (ESPORTS+CARS boss) Darren Cox – to get into real racing cars,” said Leigh.
“I could never have imagined it would be an an event like this. I am excited but also nervous as it will be my first ever time in a real racing car. As F1 esports champion, I’m aware that the spotlight will be on me.”
Darren Cox added that it is all about “maximising the opportunities for our drivers.”
“This type of crossover has been done before but when the opportunity arrived to do it at the Race of Champions I asked Brendon if he fancied giving it a shot. His answer was an instantaneous yes, although I have told him to treat this as a fun event while we finalise his significant esports plan for 2018.”
The Race of Champions will be held on 2/3 February 2018 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia within Riyadh’s King Fahad International Stadium, and will be broadcast to an international TV audience.


After checking in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, the audit will be carried out in the Pochaev Lavra of the UOC. It is reported by Radio Liberty.
In particular, we are talking about the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior, the construction of which began in 2011. In terms of scale, this church surpasses the ancient Assumption Church. Today the new church is active, 33 bells are installed on it.
It is known that the architectural complex of the Pochaev Lavra until 2052 was transferred to the free use of the UOC. At the same time, by a government decree, the structures of the Pochaev Holy Dormition Lavra were excluded from the Kremenets-Pochaev State Historical and Architectural Reserve. But in 2018, the Ministry of Justice canceled order No. 438 of July 17, 2003.
“The Ternopil Regional Council invited Metropolitan Epiphanius to hold the same historic service in the Pochaev Lavra, as in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. At the next session of the regional council, they will initiate an appeal for the immediate transfer of the complex of buildings of the Pochaev Holy Assumption Lavra to the use of the OCU, ”the report says.

S! Amaranth GT (SCCC) (formerly S! Armada) Since I have committed my participation in the contest, I shall reveal my plans. What I have in mind is a mid-sized, two-door Gran Turismo. Though it is a driver focused sports car, two comfortable rear seats plus a roomy fastback for luggage make it perfect for long distances. It's styled to look like a modern recreation of the eightess Alfa Romeo GTV6 with influences from the Ford Capri MKII, the Citroen SM and the Citroen CX. There are several engines to choose from. I'll be competing with a 3.0 i6 developing 320 hp and 406 nm. Thanks to the light chassis and the absence of unnecessary driving-aids it weighs just >1300 kg and reaches a top speed of around 270 km/h. I have already done some sketching and can proudly report that I'm quite satisfied with the result. I'll be doing the blueprint over the coming days.

AMEC has made its first foray into the wind power market with the acquisition of leading wind energy developer.
Border Wind, which was responsible for the UK's first offshore wind farm on the pier at Blyth, in Northumberland, will become part of Amec's offshore services business. Border Wind is building three onshore wind farms in the North-East.
Amec offshore services managing director Neil Bruce said: 'Amec is one of the first oil and gas providers to expand into wind energy and this allows us to respond positively to the government's commitment to develop wind energy projects.'
Mr Bruce said the acquisition was the first step in the group's long- term strategy in the alternative energy market. He said Amec was aiming to become Europe's leading wind energy service provider.

Each day, a few edible book entries will be showcased on the Libraries Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram feeds, as well as on the Libraries website. As in previous years, entries will be judged according to such categories as “Most Delicious,” “Most Creative,” “Most Checked Out” and “Most Literary,” as well as “Best Student Entry” and “Best Overall." The week will culminate with the announcement of the winners.
If you are interested in creating an edible book, e-mail email@example.com by Friday, March 26 with your name and the title of your creation.

Imagine Better Campaign
Campaign Conception | Brand Development
Imagine Better is a campaign developed to illustrate the benefits of CBD products in a way that stands out from the standard stock image, infomercial advertisement. A typical ad, in the supplement industry, features a model or actor “living their best life” and modern day consumers can see right through it. It’s a lazy, inefficient and inauthentic strategy for brand building. Imagine Better was created to show some passion behind the brand with a little extra production value.
Little environments, built out of familiar bottle shapes, entice the viewer to use some imagination and look at things a little differently. In the process, the subtle messaging to imagine a better future for themselves is presented. As a result, the viewers are compelled to take a closer look and learn more about something they previously may have ignored.

On Thursday 31st October The Royal British Legion held it’s annual London Poppy Day event. This is the largest one day street collection of its kind in Europe with the aim to raise over 1 million pounds! The day featured 10 military bands and their ensembles performing across London to commuters and travellers on train stations. I set out early from my hotel in London at 06:45 to make it over to Liverpool Street Station in time for the first band at 07:30. The newly formed British Army Band Colchester performed a varied selection of music conducted by their Director of Music Captain Simons. Their programme of music included a mix of marches,
popular songs, TV and film themes and the band’s lead trombonist had a great opportunity to solo at the end of a Beatles medley! Trumpets Wild, a jazzy arrangement of The Wild Horseman for trumpet trio brought three of the band’s Cornets to the front to perform the bluesy number. The Colchester Band were the only band to wear their summer uniform, as all other bands wore their Athol Gray Coats.
Next was King’s Cross Station by tube to watch the impressive Queen’s Colour Squadron perform a Continuity Drill Display in front of a large poppy that had been mounted in the station’s concourse. Although no military band, the marches of Eagle Squadron and Battle of Britain were projected through speakers around the station. As the relatively cold morning turned warmer, I walked down Euston Road to enjoy the Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas, who were joined by The Pipes and Drums of the Queen’s Own Royal Gurkha Logistic Regiment at Marylebone Station for the first part of the lunchtime performance period. The band opened with Thriller conducted by their Director of Music, which was fitting for Halloween, then performed Highland Cathedral and Mist Covered Mountains with the Pipes and Drums. The two bands produced a phenomenal sound that filled the station; the band were also joined by two musicians from The Band of the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment.
After a two minute ride on the Bakerloo line to Paddington Station during the lunchtime
performances I made it in time to watch the rest of the British Army Band Tidworth’s set, conducted by their Bandmaster Staff Sargent Lindley. The band, now a Brass Band, performed a really entertaining selection of music for the lunchtime crowd including Life on Mars, Don’t Stop Me Now, Mr Blue Sky, Abba Gold, MacArthur Park, The William Tell Overture and an unusual arrangement of Video Killed the Radio Star which was brought to life by the Glockenspiel that they had brought with them!
My final stop of the day for the evening rush hour was Waterloo Station to watch The Band of the Grenadier Guards, although nearly missing the start due to the Taxi Driver having to take a detour through Lambeth due to a spontaneous Brexit protest outside Downing Street, I made it just in
time. Conducted by Major Mike Smith, the band performed marches, pop tunes, jazz standards and songs from musicals including a very good Alto Saxophone feature of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables. Later on during the performance the same saxophonist returned to serenade us with the ever popular Baker Street. An upbeat performance of Caravan, featured soloists from the band’s principal trombonist and cornet player before the band finished with The Royal British Legion March and The British Grenadiers.
It was a very enjoyable and worthwhile day travelling around London watching all the bands and I hope you have enjoyed reading my personal experiences of the day!
You can view a full photo gallery of over 40 photos of all the bands performing and full videos of all the band's performances on my YouTube channel, Military Bands Everywhere!

As Vox’s Sarah Kliff explains, we often talk about “the wage gap” as a single entity, but there are many different wage gaps. In 2016, Asian-American women made about 88 centsfor every dollar white men made, while white women made 79 cents, black women made 62 cents, and Hispanic women made 57 cents. Black and Hispanic men also make less than white men, on average, while Asian-American men make a bit more. These disparities also vary by state and by occupation — some jobs have smaller wage gaps than others.
While the wage gap in some occupations is shrinking — women pharmacists, for instance, are doing much better than they used to — pay inequality overall has been slow to change. At the current rate, women overall will reach parity with men in 2059, according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. For black women, and for women living in North Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, and Louisiana, the gap won’t close until the 22nd century. For Hispanic women, it won’t close until the 23rd.


Hailing from the heart of Eastern Europe, Ańii (real name Ania Iwinska) has made the long journey from Poland to London to master her skills in music production at the renowned music school, Point Blank. She took an engineering job over at Wired Studios and Ańii’s love for the city has grown since then. Today, she proudly calls London home and is based out of her own Shoredich studio.
Having found her heart and soul in the techno/house scene, Ańii demonstrates her passion of music through deep, dark techno and soulful deep house. She has previous releases on Stil Vor Talent, Polymath, Sincopat, Parquet and Making You Dance. On KOMPAKT so far she has released the EPs „Korzenie“ (2018) and „Aniitime“ (2019).
In 2019 her label ANIITIME was born. After the success of her first two releases on Kompakt and with an influx of experimental music at her hands, label head Michael Mayer
encouraged ANII with the idea of starting her own label. Enabling her to push a greater range of musical styles that he felt needed a home.
Initially the label will only release ANII’s own productions, with a select amount of EP’s each year, potentially with some exciting talent joining her on remix duties. With ANII’s scale of
production talent, you can be sure a varied selection of music will come in the next year – tracks which are wildly creative, multi-textured with some fearsome basslines.
A very talented, enthusiastic, humble producer who is one to look out for.

根据房屋与地方政府部长Zuraida Kamaruddin近期发表的谈话，数个先租后买（简称RTO）计划将在9月推出。 她也指出，该部门正与数家银行合作推出这些计划，并尤其瞄准收入RM3,000及以下的阶层，而这些计划的推行已经进入最后阶段。 房屋买家协会（简称HBA）在原则上支持先租后买计划，但前提是这些计划能够真正协助到人民买到首套房屋，尤其是那些中低收入阶层的人们。 HBA在过去曾作出呼吁，让这些先租后买计划纳入中收入或M40阶层。因为这些计划一般的目的，是通过人民房屋计划（简称PPR）等公共房屋项目的方式，来协助低收入阶层、市区的贫穷阶层或B40阶层。 但随着房价和生活成本走高，即使是每月家庭收入中位数达RM6,275的M40阶层，也面临着买房的挑战。对此，HBA相信在将M40阶层纳入先租后买计划的情况下，才能够在买房方面为人民提供长远的协助。 而为了确保这些先租后买计划能够成功，它们必须具备以下要素： 1.
