Savannah Harbor Tide Gate Removal
The project was located on the Little Back River in Savannah, GA nestled within the pristine marsh environment between Georgia and South Carolina. The project area has an average water velocity that exceeds most other inland waterways. The project entailed a specialized demolition process that included the removal of a tide gate structure that required working divers, underwater wire saw equipment, concrete coring and other specialized demolition equipment. Dredging of approximately 830,000 CY using mechanical and hydraulic means. Placement of approximately 100,000 tons of riprap and bedding material along the Savannah back river shoreline. In addition to the stone placement, CHC installed ABS (Articulated Block System) mats along the South Carolina shoreline that also serves as a boat and dredge pipe deployment area. Other specialty items included the excavation of contaminated soils with the use of sheet pile cofferdams, dewatering, and bypass pumping within the shoreline of the Savannah River. With all the complexities of a mixed marine project, the project was a success for the entire team, highlighted in multiple news outlets, and considered a perfect project by the USACE Savannah District. CHC was awarded an Excellence medal from the Commander of the USACE, Savannah District, Colonel Daniel Hibner.

Can the Umbilical Cord Save Lives?
Perhaps. Once tossed in the trash, they are now thought to help kids with a host of ailments. So why aren't more of them being saved?
To Bank or Not to Bank? continued...
The promise of saving a loved one's life is what private cord blood banks
are selling to prospective customers. And on the surface, the premise seems
reasonable: Parents want to do what they can to ensure the health and safety of
their children. Why not save something that will otherwise be discarded?
But collection of the blood, which takes place after the baby's cord is cut,
costs as much as $1,500 per sample. The blood is then shipped to the bank's
laboratory for screening and freezing. Annual storage fees range from $95 to
Insurance coverage varies for collection and storage fees. Big-name insurers
like Aetna U.S. Healthcare and some state Medicaid providers are signing on to
pay in full for private cord blood banking in instances where the blood is
needed immediately to treat a cancer-stricken relative. Otherwise, parents have
to dig deep into their own pockets.
Why bank privately? The majority of the roughly 20,000 clients who have
banked their cord blood with the Cord Blood Registry have done so for peace of
mind, says Stephen Grant, vice president of communications at the Cord Blood
Registry. "We know that stem cells can be effective in treating leukemia
and 75 other diseases," says Grant.
Until now, diseases successfully treated with a cord blood transplant
include various leukemias and other blood cancers and genetic diseases like
sickle-cell anemia and Krabbe's disease. Other illnesses doctors are hoping
these stem cells will treat include breast cancer and AIDS.
Children have been the chief recipients of these transplants because the
average cord blood collection yields only enough stem cells to provide for a
child, says John Fraser, MD, PhD, director of the UCLA Umbilical Cord Blood
Bank, one of the participating centers in a five-year, $30-million National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) study on the efficacy of cord blood
Finding the True Risk Levels
Meanwhile, the marketing tactics used by private cord blood banks have come
under criticism and investigation.
A study commissioned by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found
that some private banks exaggerate most families' risks of developing a serious
medical condition that will warrant a cord blood transplant.
What's the true risk? Estimates that a child might need cord blood range
from one in 1,000 to one in 200,000, according to the American Academy of
Pediatrics. The Cord Blood Registry, in five years of operation, says only 14
of its more than 20,000 samples have been used in transplants.
Based on the real risk and the fact that "empirical evidence that
children will need their own cord blood for future use is lacking," the
respected Academy does not recommend that parents store their child's blood for
Grant at the Cord Blood Registry, however, says talk of statistics misses
the point. "People talk about the odds of [privately stored cord blood]
being used, that it's an investment that won't pan out. But do you have fire
insurance on your home because you're hoping it will burn down? The reality is
that nobody wants to use their stem cells," says Grant.

Meat Pie Pinwheels Recipe
Here's what we had for dinner tonight-meat pie pinwheels. I adapted the recipe from 3 different ones I read online. Take ground meat (I use turkey) and brown. Season any way you like. I did a little Mexican seasoning, and added fried corn and cheddar cheese shreds. You could do Italian style with garlic and onion and mozarella, or you could do American with ketchup, mustard, pickles and American cheese. Whatever you like. Take two Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts (one package), and lay out on wax paper. Cover the crust with the meat mixture. Roll up like cinnamon rolls, and cut into 1 1/2 inch slices. Lay slices into a casserole, edges touching, face up so you can see the pinwheel. Bake about 20 minutes at about 450 degrees. You could top with salsa, ketchup or marinara if it's too dry after you take it out of the oven. Enjoy!
Sounds easy! I shudder at all the fat in the pie crust though.

Ten years ago, someone without a job, a mortgage in the US could get. Tony Blair was the British lame duck Prime Minister. Al–Qaeda, but as IS, was the Public enemy number One. And the satirical film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan was in the cinemas.
The Film made quite the splash. Despite only shows on around 800 screens in the United States – a typical wide release, playing on three times as many screens – borate-hit number one on its opening weekend. The results were just as strong to the rest of the world, and it is widely considered to be the highest grossing mockumentary of all time.
My relationship with borate began, before he made the leap to the big screen. While I was working for the British Council in Kazakhstan as a public relations manager in the early 2000s, I read in the newspaper about a Kazakh character on a British TV show. I asked a colleague if she knew who he was – she was a volunteer from England, who have helped me, every month, for proofreading our newsletter. She felt a little embarrassed and explained that it is an actor who pretends to be a Kazakh journalist, and that the show is an example of a special British Humor that might get your Kazakh friends. I shrugged my shoulders.
About a year later, I was in the UK for the first time. It was then I saw Da Ali G Show, on Channel Four and saw Borat. Honestly, I found it… very funny. Of course, I was clear that this is a satire on the British attitude towards the rest of the world, poking fun at the British isolationism. And I still like Ali G and Borat – and even Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen. For me, their Creator, Sacha Baron Cohen, a talented workaholic with a serious message. Another friend of mine, a Cambridge university professor said to me that Baron Cohen was a graduate of the University, and I came to the realization of the intellectual heft behind his work.
I even suggested that we offer citizenship Borat Kazakh state
A number of my colleagues from the whole of the Kazakh media in the world, including the top executives, she confessed to me that they also watched Borat on Da Ali G Show, and saw the characters as a PR opportunity. We wanted Baron Cohen to the show in the real Kazakhstan. We have agreed that we, the Kazakhs should be grateful for every promotion he gave to our country. I’ve even offered – admittedly fun – to recognize the idea of Borat as a Kazakh citizen, you give him a ID and tax it. These conversations went ultimately nowhere, but the idea of a real cooperation with our most famous “native son” was one we stopped.
Is it beautiful?
But not all Kazakh felt. After the character was introduced, Da Ali G Show, Baron Cohen’s website was blocked in Kazakhstan for a time. Exactly a year ago, I met a Kazakh fitness Trainer, worked at a fitness Studio in New York City, as the Borat movie was released in 2006. He said that he was in Manhattan, a crowd of people, only a few steps away from Baron Cohen during the premiere of the film. And beat our man who very much wanted to, the actor, because he was indignant about the representation of Kazakhstan. We have since laughed about the story he told me as he calmed down and realized that it would be a PR disaster for our people, if he did it.
Maybe the angry Kazakhs in the year 2006, our students in the UK and the USA. They did not understand the Film, but their non-Kazakh colleagues on the campus. Your classmates were sure that the Film showed the real Kazakhstan.
And, of course, the government began various efforts to change the PR story. I was not involved, that the work several times, and I can say, to understand that absolutely all of the high-ranking officials in Kazakhstan, that they should be offended by the movie. The most important goal, it was discussed how to make use of it as an unexpected spotlight on the country.
The only thing that is accurate about Kazakhstan, the country position on the map
It is important to understand where telling the truth and not lying, in the Borat Film. A sudden rush on the map of Westerners who do not know may be able to Kazakhstan wanted to learn more about us, had taken place. But the fact is that the only thing accurate about Kazakhstan in this film, this is the position of the country on the map. Even the language is incorrectly shown as Borat’s name is incorrectly written, and, like that, he’s Da Ali G Show, the introduction of the Borat character, he speaks Hebrew as a stand-in for Kazakh. The isolated Romanian village of Glod had been selected, representing Borat’s home town – and Borat’s ‘neighbours’ are, in fact, the Roma, the people, the borate taunted as “Gypsies” during the rest of the film.
Most of the people in Kazakhstan realized pretty quickly that the film was aimed more at an audience in America than in Borat’s homeland. Sacha Baron Cohen main seemed not to be a target, to get an outsider view on the exist US and betray the prejudices of the Americans Borat interacts with – prejudices, which do most of the people in the USA would like to. He worked as a kind of 21st Century Alexis de Tocqueville. And as soon as it became clear that this was Baron Cohen’s goal, most of the normal Kazakhs lost interest in the Borat phenomenon as a whole.
But to speak of many Western-oriented Kazakhs who have the need about the real Kazakhstan. Local public-relations experts, the topic was discussed extensively at professional conferences. I had a lot of questions about the film itself. So I interviewed some of the leading marketing and public relations experts. Scott Bedbury, formerly of Nike and Starbucks, said, “I don’t think any of US believe that the movie was really about Kazakhstan. It’s just a Comedy”.
We are an easy target – Yerlan Idrissov
Yerlan Idrissov, who was the Kazakh Ambassador in the UK at the time, wrote in the Guardian: “We are an easy target. Borat would have the balance sheet, the citizens of a country with a really terrible human rights – Afghanistan during the Taliban. But that would be risky for Baron Cohen. Many Kazakhs saw, borate, were offended, and in disbelief. But in fact, the Land of the critics, including Baron Cohen, rather an invitation to your concerns about an all-expenses-paid conference in Kazakhstan as they would to a fatwa.”
Such observations illustrate the first strategy for dealing with the film on the part of the Kazakh government is trying to clean it as no big deal. But later, Baron Cohen was mentioned in a session of the Kazakh Parliament by the minister for foreign Affairs of the time, Yerzhan Kazykhanov: “With the image – Version, in Kazakhstan, the number of Visa problems increased by 10 times. This is a great victory, and I am grateful to Borat for attracting tourists to Kazakhstan.”
But not all reactions were so positive. In November 2006, well-known Kazakh TV personality Jantemir Baimukhamedov to London went, and promised that he would. horse-flesh and horse urine Baron Cohen, who had declared as Borat, the, the national food of Kazakhstan But he organized everything so bad he was not a graduate of a meeting with the Cambridge. In 2010, film Director Erkin Rakishev promised to make a Film about a young American who visited the real Kazakhstan , after the Borat movie. It is not yet.
Perhaps the most creative response to the film came from the famous violinist Marat Bisengaliev. Bisengaliev contacted me to donate for the Commission a piece of original music that would represent meaningful Kazakh culture.
We asked Sacha’s brother, composer Erran Baron Cohen to write, the 20-minute piece. Called Zere, it is based on Kazakh folk music. Its premiere took place in London’s St. James Church in Piccadilly in 2007 to play with the Turan Alem Kazakhstan Philharmonic Orchestra and Bisengaliev himself the violin. News of the concert spread over the world, with write-ups in Newspapers from the Daily Telegraph , the Sydney Morning Herald. The core of the stories was that, at last, the Kazakhs made fun of by Sacha.


OTTAWA—With Parliament careening toward an election, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is toughening his attacks on Stephen Harper, saying the Prime Minister is spending “like a drunken sailor” and will stop at nothing to stay in power.
Ignatieff, whose party may have a chance to defeat the Conservative minority government this week, blasted Harper for tolerating a Tory website that suggests the Liberal leader is embellishing his family’s struggle as immigrants in Canada.
“Their attack on me is a disgrace,” Ignatieff said on CTV Sunday. “They’ve attacked my patriotism. They’ve attacked my commitment to the country. And now they’re attacking my family.”
His anger was touched off by a statement on a Conservative-backed website that says Ignatieff’s parents were richer and more privileged as immigrants than the Liberal leader acknowledges.
Ignatieff denied this, saying his family lost everything in the Russian Revolution and “came here with nothing.”
“These personal attacks are unprecedented in the history of Canadian democracy,” Ignatieff added. “Canadians got to ask themselves: Is this the kind of politics you want? This is a prime minister who is prepared to say anything to hold on to power.”
Ignatieff also sharply criticized the Conservatives’ recent spending spree, which has contributed to a $100 billion deficit over two years. “The pattern of waste and highly partisan spending, just to win an election, I think destroys his credibility as an economic manager,” the Liberal leader said.
His comments reflected the increasingly bitter brinkmanship in Parliament that will come to a head in the next few days over Tuesday’s federal budget and a series of flare-ups over government conduct.
The minority Conservative government could face votes of confidence in the Commons this week over the budget package and over charges that the government is in contempt of Parliament for withholding spending information from MPs. A defeat of the government on such a vote would force an election, so the Conservative minority in the Commons needs the support of at least one of the opposition parties to stay in power.
Speculation emerged on the weekend that the Bloc Québécois, which has vowed to vote against the budget, might reverse course because of an imminent financial deal between Ottawa and Quebec. The Bloc has been demanding $2 billion in compensation for Quebec for adopting the HST sales tax, and the Quebec government is saying a deal with the federal government to do so is close. But Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s office on Sunday played down the likelihood that an agreement could be reached soon enough to sway the Bloc’s budget vote.
This week’s political showdown opens Monday when a Commons committee is expected to find the government in contempt of Parliament, setting the stage for a possible confidence vote later in the week. On Tuesday, Flaherty tables the 2011 budget, which will be debated on Wednesday and could lead to make-or-break vote for the Conservatives on Thursday. If that vote is put off as a result of parliamentary manoeuvring, the Liberals, citing several scandals and accusations of government misconduct, might try to force a vote on a motion of non-confidence in the government Friday.

The Sacramento Bee recently reported that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's approval rating has dipped below 30%. On the surface, this isn't that big a deal...except when you consider the poll showing these low numbers was of Californians.
Ouch. From the first woman to be Speaker of the House to the first woman Speaker of the House whose approval ratings may bottom out around the approval rating of toejam. Democrats polled say Pelosi's low approval ratings are due to what they see as a lack of commitment to ending the Iraq War and holding George W. Bush accountable. And Pelosi has blamed the Republicans for holding up legislation, while at the same time claiming the House under her leadership has done so much. A female politician who blames Republicans for things going wrong and takes credit for accomplishments she had a marginal role in.
Actually, there is potential that Pelosi's woes could negatively impact Hillary's Presidential hopes. Pelosi isn't exactly a wallflower, and she has made no bones about the fact that she's the first female to be Speaker of the House. In fact, that's pretty much all she talked about for the first couple of months after Election 2006. Yet, after the honeymoon was over and Pelosi was expected to lead, she made some serious mistakes that someone with more experience or common sense would have been able to avoid.
Hillary, whether she knows it, will have to overcome the obstacles Pelosi unwittingly put in her path to the White House. Hillary cannot run on her record of experience because in reality she has none. She can't run on putting Bill back in the White House because he won't be the one making decisions. The best he'll be able to do is offer strategy suggestions, which puts Hillary squarely in the position of having to take a position and stick to it for more than a speech. And Hillary hasn't distinguished herself as a leader.
In short, Hillary is already starting off with negatives that can hurt her campaign, but the biggest hurdle in front of her may be Pelosi showing the world what a woman unprepared for power can...or can't...do. If Hillary has any shot at the White House, either Pelosi's going to have to be a smarter leader or Hillary is going to have to prove why she's not like Pelosi.

Pension plans managed by religious organizations in Rhode Island will have to send regular financial updates to plan participants, under legislation approved by Rhode Island's General Assembly. The bill now goes to Gov. Gina Raimondo.
The pension transparency legislation, which passed June 20, was sponsored by Rhode Island Senate President Dominick J. Ruggerio and House Majority Leader K. Joseph Shekarchi, in cooperation with state Treasurer Seth Magaziner, who oversees the Rhode Island State Investment Commission, including the $8.1 billion Rhode Island Employees' Retirement System, Providence.
"I applaud the General Assembly for taking steps to close an unnecessary loophole," Mr. Magaziner said in a statement.
Non-governmental pension plans with 200 or more participants and not covered by ERISA must comply with ERISA reporting requirements.
It was drafted in response to the insolvency of the $85 million St. Joseph Health Services of Rhode Island Retirement Plan, North Providence, covering current and former employees of Our Lady of Fatima and Roger Williams hospitals, which were sold to Prospect Medical Holdings in 2014. A pending participant lawsuit claims plan officials hid the plan's underfunding.
"Too many hardworking caregivers and health professionals, who spent their careers serving their communities, have been hurt by a lack of transparency. We must ensure that this never happens again," Mr. Ruggerio said in a statement.
Mr. Shekarchi added that disclosure "will help ensure that members' retirement savings is not imperiled by mismanagement and that those in charge cannot easily obscure negligence or misconduct."

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
What happens when you meet a man you can’t take home to meet your parents?
She looked him straight in the eye, those blue eyes that were so intense and she wondered what they’d be able to get her do? She was smart, level headed and not lacking in self-confidence. She loved who she was, she had a family who loved her and yet here she was sitting here discussing giving something to a man she would never consider giving to anyone.
Living on her parents’ ranch in the middle of nowhere, most people would give anything to be part of her family and have the kind of love her parents did. But Becky Friessen needed more than quiet and stability. She craved excitement, action, a spark of adventure and not letting anyone steer her into something she didn’t want to do, or living in a quiet piece of the world where nothing ever happened.
Until she meets a man who shocks her with an indecent proposal that she finds herself actually considering. He is a man she could never tell her parents about. He is a man she could never take home to meet the family. Only fighting this insane attraction between them could have her agreeing to something that could be a one-way road to heartbreak.

Being Great And Genuine Makes For The best Dating Formulation
* Will not try to conceal your previous relationships. Rather be open on your date about your past experiences and partners. If your day is grown up and delicate enough she or he will figure out and empathize with you.
5. Do not exaggerate about your self or earlier experiences; keep in mind, a relationship that is based on dishonesty is likely to fail.
5. Share with the date your expectations meant for the new romantic relationship and try to appreciate too what the expectations of your date happen to be.
* On the basis of your knowledge, try to judge whether the brand-new man or woman in your life possesses anything in common with your ex. If there seems to be many similar characteristics that make you feel uncomfortable, it may be a good idea to call off of the relationship just before it gets too severe.
Things To Take into account While Going out with

The UK has published its new Data Protection Bill, which the Government claims will “bring our data protection regime into the twenty-first century”. The bill which is part of the National Cyber Security Strategy is intended to find a balance between protecting data, penalising those who break the rules and returning control of data to the people.
From a government so intent on undermining encryption, a tool which really does protect online data, this might seen a little inconsistent, so it is no surprise that the new bill has been described by the chairman of the National Association of Data Protection and Freedom of Information Officers, Jon Baines as “a bit of a mess”.
EU General Data Protection Regulation
The new Data Protection Bill is enormous. It stretches to 218 pages, has 18 schedules, and no fewer than 112 pages of explanatory notes. This often means that there will be a few surprises hidden with the legal language and no doubt in the coming days, policy wonks will be generating a few new headlines as they dig down into the detail.
The bulk of the bill is dedicated to bringing the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) into British law. This is required to come into force by May 2018, a date which gives this bill a timeline by which it must come into law.
It also emphasises that the GDPR is going to apply to the UK despite Brexit, which some businesses had hoped would exclude them. The Government has confirmed that this bill will remain in law after Brexit has been completed.
GDPR is massively complicated and many companies are still unsure what exactly it will require them to do. Sadly, this Bill has not made anything much clearer and unless the Government or the EU does deliver some clear guidance ahead of the May 2018 implementation date, short-term chaos is likely to ensue.
What else is in the new Data Protection Bill?
For individuals, the new bill is intended to hand back more control over their data and there are a few things included to be welcomed. People will now be able to demand information about how online sites are using their information, request that photos and posts that relate to them are removed, and withdraw consent for the use of their data.
Websites will no longer be permitted to use ‘pre-ticked boxes’ to get users to hand over the rights to their data, as is currently the case. The penalties proposed by the new bill for companies which break these new laws are also stringent, with a maximum of £17million or 4% of global turnover being proposed, although these figures are the requirements from the GDPR.
The bill also includes a number of new criminal offences including changing personal data in an attempt to stop it being disclosed and unlawfully obtaining personal data. The re-identification of de-identified data will also be a crime, with an unlimited fine available for law enforcement officers. This last one may worry security researchers a little and it is quite likely that an exemption for them will be added as the bill progresses.
Exemptions to the bill
There are already a number of notable exemptions to many of the laws included in the bill, which the Government claims to have successfully negotiated with the EU. This includes allowing journalists to access personal data for the purposes of exposing wrongdoing or as part of their right to freedom of expression.
Scientific and historical organisations also have exemptions in cases where the new laws might impinge on their research, as do anti-doping agencies who are chasing those elite athletes who use performance-enhancing drugs. Some financial services and employment law exemptions are also included.
These are broadly sensible although the addition of security researchers is a necessity. As the GDPR requirements were already known, there are not many surprises in the bill.
Indeed, the only real surprise is the government having the audacity to claim that it has people’s data protection interests at heart, while at the same time hoovering up everybody’s online data and attempting to undermine encryption.
These two policies offer a huge threat to data protection and until policy changes are introduced in this area, there can be no real credibility given to UK Government in this particular area.

Tatarstan’s capital city will play host to the Rugby Europe Women’s Sevens Grand Prix Series for the fourth time in its history. Players from 12 countries are expected to come to Kazan this year. The current title holder, the Russian national team, will be one of the main contenders for the crown.
The competitions will be held at the Kazan Central Stadium for the second year in a row. The fans can see the matches of the decisive leg of the Rugby Europe Women’s Sevens Grand Prix Series on September 1-2.
The first leg of the Rugby Europe Women’s Sevens Grand Prix Series took place in the end of June and beginning of July in France. The hosting team was lucky to become the winner of the tournament. Team Russia finished second. These two powerhouses will compete for title of the continent’s best team here in Kazan. Such European countries as Ireland, Belgium, Wales, England, Spain, Scotland, Italy, Germany, Portugal and Poland will participate in the competitions, as well. The Russians are the reigning winners of the Series. Last year they won both legs, celebrating the final victory. Team England and Team Ireland finished on podium, too. Before the Central Stadium started to play host to the tournament, the Kazan leg of the Rugby Europe Women’s Sevens Grand Prix Series used to be staged at the Tulpar stadium. Admission to the venue is free.

Welcome to the home page of the Microscale Thermal and Flow Phenomena Imaging Laboratory, part of the Thermal/Fluid Sciences Research laboratories at Oregon State University. This group is supervised by Dr. Vinod Narayanan.
Our group conducts basic and applied research in thermal and fluid transport. Applications include thermal management of electronics and other high-flux sources, absorption refrigeration, solar thermochemical processing of fuels, passive pumping of fluids, and recently, hydrogen storage thermal management.
(a) Solar Energy
(b) Hydrogen Storage Thermal Management
We examine three major methods of heat removal for thermal management: jet impingement, droplets/spray impingement, and microchannels. Enhancement of thermal transport by these methods using passive methods, such as by use of surface modifications, fluid property modifications (nanofluids), and use of inherent flow oscillations are considered. Our belief is that greater energy efficiency can be achieved by use of passive enhancement methods.
Both experimental and modeling work is performed by our group. Experimental work relies substantially on development and use of minimally intrusive techniques to elucidate the physical mechanisms of transport.
Research sponsors include the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, NASA, Office of Naval Research, Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI), and the Oregon BEST center.
This website presents some of the key aspects of our work, along with references for more detailed information. The lab home page is arranged according to research categories that can either be selected using the panel of tabs on the left or by using the illustrative figure above. Visitors interested in a casual perusal of our research might find it of interest to visit the Media Gallery link.

During lockdown we invited six brilliant, award-winning composers to write new works in answer to chorales from the St Matthew Passion. They had complete freedom to choose their text, and challenge and explore different musical styles.
These new #bachinspired works have been recorded alongside the chorales which prompted them. It will be an exciting moment when we can finally share them with the world an innovative new album to be released in March 2022.
The project aims to promote dialogue with the past while contributing to the music of the future, and creates a legacy from an extraordinary year when singing live was not possible.
We need your help – become part of music history
Whilst we’ve funded the commissions and recording sessions, we need your help to produce this recording and to release it so that these new works can reach the widest audience possible. If you contribute, you’re becoming a part of music history by supporting young composers and new works. In addition to this, contributors can unlock some of these unique, limited edition rewards:

Numerous sexual acts involving multiple staff both on and off duty reported, leading to terminations, suspensions
La Vergne, TN: A small-town police department is making big time news over allegations that multiple officers were involved in a wild sexual ring involving a married female officer in the department, reports say.
There is room to have some fun on the job, but things got way out of control for this frisky group officers.
Extra-marital affairs are nothing new. If people, officers or otherwise, decide to engage in such acts off the clock, than that’s their business. However, the departmental moral indiscretion led to five terminations and three suspensions. The actions affected patrolman, sergeants and a K9 officer.
Among those terminated were Ofc. Maegan Hall, Ofc. Juan Lugo-Perez, Sgt. Henry Ty McGowan Sgt. Lewis Powell and Det. Seneca Shields.
Ofc. Larry Holladay, Ofc. Patrick Magliocco and Ofc. Schoeberl were suspended.
One of the key figure heads to the entire situation appears to be Officer Meagan Hall. Although all those involved made their own choices in the matter, Officer Hall’s name comes up the most often. Additionally, it was reported that she exhibited some troubling, alarming behavior.
The Steamy Sessions
The situation came down to an entire network of people who engaged in a variety of activities.
And it all started with the Mayor.
According to reports, the Mayor was informed of numerous sexual indiscretions and misconduct involving multiple members of the La Vergne Police force, specifically Hall. That source is unnamed in the investigation. The mayor then contacted the police department directly to inquire more information and an investigation was started.
According to local news coverage of the incident, it stated:
“According to the allegations made in the internal investigation, Hall ‘engaged in a sexual relationship’ with Magliocco, Powell, Holladay, Lugo, McGowan and Shields, which was not reported to leadership. Hall reportedly ‘engaged in a sexual relationship’ with McGowan and Shields ‘while on duty and inside city owned property.'”
It’s one thing to get involved in wild sexual escapades during personal time at home. But once it occurs on duty time and on government property, it crosses a line. Being involved in such an unrelated work activity puts people, even fellow officers at risk. If an officer gets involved in an urgent situation and requires backup, how much longer would it take to respond if you must pull your drawers up first?
It was also reported that Hall exchanged explicit photographs with other department staff, which led to eventual sexual harassment charges. Addtionally, Magliocco told investigators that Hall told him about Powell’s “big black d***”.
Another line was crossed when McGowan went to the Human Resourcea office in an apparent fit of rage and allegedly grabbed an employee around the neck. This particular incident was witnessed by an onlooker, reports said.
The Intertwined Sexual Activity
This wasn’t just about one or two officers on one or two occasions. It is a bit more complex than that. According to the local column, it stated:
“Magliocco and Powell are accused of engaging in sexual conduct with Hall on multiple occasions, including oral sex both on LPD property and private property.”
“Hall, Magliocco and Powell are all stated as being married to other partners in the report and Magliocco’s wife is identified in the report, claiming that she was seen kissing Hall during a party that multiple La Vergne officers had attended this past fall. According to an interview with Magliocco, Powell ended his involvement with Hall to conceal any sexual activity from his wife and concerns about his position within the La Vergne Police Department.”
A Dangerous and Irresponsible Move
Magliocco also told investigators that he had concerns over Hall’s mental health. He noted that others observed her drinking “excessively” and on one occasion lost her bikini top at a social event that included other officers, some with their families.
In another statement made to investigators, Magliocco stated that Hall once pointed an unloaded gun to her own temple and pulled the trigger so “she could hear what it sounded like.”
Anyone in law enforcement knows that you simply don’t play with guns. The handling of a weapon is sacred and a line that, under no circumstances, can be crossed. There’s a reason why academies teach to “only point a gun at something you want to shoot.”
As the entire law enforcement profession is slowly regaining the trust of the public, it is incidents like this that set everything back.
Remember, being on the job is an extension of your character and everything you do both on and off duty is a reflection on your department. Stay safe out there!

Another Navy SEAL and his team are setting a world record to raise money for families of fallen officers.

The largest National Park in all of Australia, covering 20,000 square kilometres, Kakadu National Park is one of Australia’s most spectacular places to visit.
There are several reasons why you should visit Kakadu National Park. With its diverse landscapes ranging from wetlands and forests to gorges and waterfalls, Kakadu is teeming with wildlife. It’s also famous for its ancient rock art and Aboriginal heritage. As a result, the National Park has been listed twice as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for both its natural and cultural significance.
If you’re wondering what to do on a trip here, there are a variety of Kakadu tours that will show you the very best the park has to offer. Here are some of our favourite day tours and things to do in Kakadu.
A cultural and scenic tour by 4×4
Starting in the town of Jabiru in the heart of the National Park, experienced guides from Kakadu Cultural Tours will lead you through some of the very best sights in the Arnhem Land region of the park, starting with Cahill’s Crossing over the East Alligator River. From the comfortable 4x4s you’ll also be able to see the varied landscapes of the Mikkinj Valley, with an array of wildlife to spot, towering sandstone escarpments and a patchwork of billabongs.
You’ll also get to enjoy lunch with a view next to the Inkiyu Billabong, as well as a visit either to the Injalak Arts and Crafts Centre, where you can see Aboriginal artists at work, or Cannon Hill, a place sacred to the local indigenous people.
Sugarbag Safaris offer another brilliant 4×4 touring option, with their completely customisable day tours, where the itinerary is arranged to suit your interests. Whether you’re looking to do some bird watching, wildlife photography, see some Aboriginal culture, go bushwalking or simply soak up the wild landscapes, they can tailor your day to suit your needs, with a comfortable Toyota Landcruiser on hand to get you from place to place.
To immerse yourself even more in the incredible scenery of the Kakadu National Park, try one of the 4-day or 6-day 4WD safaris from Charter North, which visits even more spectacular spots such as Jim Jim Falls, the Ubirr rock art, Barramundi Creek and the Gunlom infinity pool.
A land, water and air tour: the best of all worlds
Departing from Darwin, this tour visiting Kakadu National Park begins in the air, with views on the outbound flight taking in savannah forest, the Yellow Water Billabong and the South Alligator River. Operated by KakaduAir, this tour continues on dry land with many more fantastic experiences, including immersing yourself in Aboriginal history and culture at the Warradjun Centre, before a cruise on Yellow Water, with the chance to spot crocodiles.
On the return flight, even more incredible sights await you, including the Arnhem Land Plateau, East Alligator River and Mary River National Park. Taking in what the National Park has to offer by land, water and air, this is an experience you’ll never forget.
See Kakadu from above
Fly deep into the heart of Kakadu with the excellent helicopter tour provided by Kakadu Tours and Travel. Departing from the Northern Territory capital of Darwin, you’ll reach the National Park borders in under an hour, with incredible birds-eye views the entire way. You’ll also see places difficult to reach by 4×4 or even on foot, from endless floodplains to 600ft-high sheer escarpments and waterfalls tumbling into enormous rock pools.
Also included in this day tour is a visit to the Injalak Art Centre, as well as lunch in a setting only accessible by helicopter. You can also upgrade your tour to include an extended flight over sights such as Koolpin Gorge, Twin Falls and the hidden Arnhemland Gorges, or a cruise and water safari along the Yellow Water Billabong.
If you’d rather travel by plane, try one of the unforgettable scenic flights offered by Kakadu Air. Complete with expert commentary, the flights run during both the wet and dry season, with the storms of the wet season awakening the dramatic waterfalls.
Take in stunning scenery and exceptional birdlife
If birdwatching is your true passion, there’s no better place to do it than in the Kakadu National Park. Experience the Wild hopes to share that with its visitors on its birdwatching tours, which cover not only Kakadu National Park but also all over the Northern Territory.
Amongst the wetlands and sandstone escarpments, you’ll be able to see a wide variety of birds, several of which can’t be seen anywhere else. Amongst the escarpments for instance, you can spot white-lined honeyeaters, banded fruit-doves and chestnut-quilled rock pigeons among others.
Travelling between the top twitching spots in a 4×4, your tour will be lead by a knowledgeable and passionate guide, who will show you not only the birds themselves but also how significant they were to the Aboriginal people over the past few thousand years.
A road trip you’ll never forget
This full-day Kakadu adventure tour takes in the ultimate highlights of the National Park, taking in all of its landmark views, from its towering sandstone escarpments to its flood plains, billabongs and monsoon forests.
Along the way, you’ll also enjoy scenic views leaving Darwin, including Francis Bay, the Marrakai Wetlands, Adelaide River and the Top End bushlands, with eucalyptus as far as the eye can see. Once you arrive in Kakadu, having taken in all of its amazing landscapes, a short guided walk will lead you to Nourlangie Rock and its famous Aboriginal rock art, dating back thousands of years. You’ll also get to enjoy a buffet lunch, cruise along Yellow Water and a cultural experience at the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre before the beautiful return journey to Darwin.
Embark on an adventure of your own in Kakadu National Park
If Kakadu National Park’s unique blend of fascinating wildlife, ancient heritage and spectacular landscapes have made you want to see it for real, you’ll be able to visit this incredible National Park as part of our Very Best of Australia tour on an optional excursion.
This comprehensive tour of Australia covers not only the country’s most famous sights but also many of its hidden gems, with our expert tour guides offering insights into its very best experiences, while still giving you the freedom to explore at your leisure.

Yes, theyíre both eight-year-old cars, but Australiaís had to watch the rest of the world enjoy them for almost a decade. Apparently due to ďADRs, timing, and capacityĒ, Richard Emery, the brandís thenlocal CEO, told us last year.
But Emery made the right noises and convinced Japan to greenlight Nismo models for Aussie tarmac.
And the 370Z is the latest result.
Thankfully, Nismoís done better than paste the 370Z with a stickerpack, and instead tweaked it like you would with five-minutes on Forza Motorsport.
Outside it wears GT-R inspired front and rear bumpers, while side sills and a lip spoiler round out the bodykit. Snazzy new Rays 19s are half-an-inch wider and press an extra 30mm (up front) and 40mm (out back) of Dunlop Sportmaxx rubber onto the road. Special dampers, uprated springs, and stiffer rollbars put the staggered rubber to work, while special brake hoses and fluid are included too.
Oh, and the door mirrors are Nismofied in black.
Engineers have fiddled with the 3.7-litre V6ís spark and timing and bolted on a new cat-back exhaust system. Itís enough for an 8kW and 8Nm uptick, and a total of 253kW and 371Nm. You can have a sevenspeed automatic íbox as well, which we didnít have the chance to sample. It marries with a tasty carbon propshaft and viscous LSDbased drivetrain.
The Zed might be reaching its twilight years, but the cabin has aged well. Itís ergonomic, and the material mix feels premium, thanks to the Nismo's scattered Alcantara and leather. Dual-zone climate control, and quick-fold backrests, are sorely needed, however, the Recaro sports seats definitely cradle you nicely.
Unleashing it on road reveals a planted, grippy, and hunkered chassis. As far as sub-$75K coupes go, turn-in is more immediate than a Ford Mustang GT. Throttle response is sharp, and feedback from the brake pedal strong. And while the hydraulic steering rack isnít as textural as youíd like, it weights up nicely like a Toyota 86ís.
The Zed threads flowing, smooth roads with sparking balance.
Each gear arrives with a solid clunk and the clutch errs on the heavy side. The oncegroundbreaking rev blip feature still works a treat and the V6 prefers punching from high in the rev range. Itís a macho device, if only it sounded more like it.
The new pipes have unleashed a noise, but itís a bit strained and whiney, failing to impersonate an atmo GT-R as you might hope.
The ride, like the exhaust, lacks sophistication. And although Yamaha chassis dampers help filter out bite, it bucks, rather than drifts, over ruffled blacktop.
With the Nismoís arrival pushing down the base carís price to $49,990 there are about 11,000 reasons to dodge the range-topping Zed, which asks $61,490 with a manual. The auto wants $2500 extra. But what the Nismo buys is a clearer focus on the modelís core strengths as a sports car rather than a grand tourer. Which, thanks to horrible tyre roar, two seats, and a stiff ride, is non-existent.
The exhaust has finally given the big-capacity six some proper pipes, even if it doesnít sound overly organic, and the sharpened, communicative handling is exactly what youíd expect of a true twoseat sportster.
Although it has no real rivals at this price, there is a genuine case against a Mustang V8 here, if you donít mind a six-pot wail instead of a burbly baritone, or the two-seat configuration. And it still looks like itís coming out next year. Just as well, because the 370Z Nismoís been worth the wait. M

GREEN BAY – Since he didn’t have to issue an official injury report Tuesday, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy wasn’t dishing out much information beyond the good news of safety Charles Woodson finally being cleared by doctors and wide receiver/kick returner Randall Cobb being expected to play.
In the cases of wide receiver Jordy Nelson (knee) and defensive end Jerel Worthy (knee), McCarthy simply promised “more information for you tomorrow,” leaving their status for Saturday night’s NFC Wild Card playoff game uncertain. McCarthy wasn’t asked about wide receiver Jarrett Boykin, who suffered an ankle injury.
McCarthy had sounded an ominous tone about Worthy on Monday, one day after Worthy left the field on a motorized cart and left the Metrodome on crutches with a large brace on his left knee following the team’s 37-34 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Nelson, meanwhile, left the game with his knee injury but returned to catch the game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter.
After the game, Nelson, who’d missed the past three games with a hamstring injury, said he felt he had to go back in after Boykin suffered his injury on a huge fourth-down reception that kept that drive alive.
“You get bumped and bruised throughout the whole game. With the situation we were in, we’re playing playoffs no matter what, so Doc (team physician Pat McKenzie) was cautious about it and wanted to be smart, but when Boykin went down, there was no choice,” Nelson said. “I knew I could get through it and I was able to.
“I told them I was going back in. we were down to Jeremy Ross, who’s been here for two months. I told them if they wanted Zebra (three-receiver personnel) down in the red zone, I’d be able to do it. And we were able to make a play.”
Asked Sunday if he would be ready to play in the playoff game, Nelson replied, “Oh, yeah.”
Meanwhile, Cobb said it was a “50/50” decision that he sit out Sunday’s game with the ankle and knee injuries he suffered against Tennessee on Dec. 23. He also said he was “pretty sure” he would’ve played Sunday had it been a playoff game.
“We felt it was the best option to hold out and I think I’ll be ready to go this week,” Cobb said. “Definitely another week of rest will (allow it) continue to get better and hopefully be to a level where I can perform at a high level on Saturday.”
Cobb said he didn’t know whether he’d be back on both punts and kickoffs after replacement Jeremy Ross performed well in both areas against the Vikings. Cobb suggested they both could be used on returns, but quickly said he said he wanted to do both.
“Definitely. That’s who I am. If I’m able to and the coaches feel that they want me out there, I’ll be out there,” Cobb said. “Jeremy had some great production the last two games, and I expect him to be out there, too. I don’t know how it’s going to turn out, but whenever our number is called, we’ll be out there on the field.”

Guys. This is potentially the greatest news we've ever heard.
We always knew that pizza was f*cking awesome, but we had no idea it was THIS f*cking awesome.
In an experiment conducted by psychology professor Dab Ariely of Duke University, it was discovered that we'd all work a shit load harder if the reward were a nice slice of pizza.
The theory was tested at an Intel Factory where employees were sent one of three emails, which promised a cash bonus, compliments or a pizza.
Those who received the pizza email increased their productivity by 6.7% with the compliment group coming in at a close second at 6.6%.
And lastly, the cash group increased productivity by 4.9%.

On Saturday night at Alfresco, we have none other than Future Disco hosting a stage until the early hours! Future Disco are a collective responsible for producing unmissable compilation series and global parties. Having compiled over 20 compilation albums including the coveted Future Disco series and it’s various spin off’s, one thing is for sure, they certainly know how to craft a sound that people enjoy. The love for discovering and curating new music is first and foremost nurtured as DJs. Having played all over the world and held residencies at Space Ibiza, the likes of Fabric or Ministry Of Sound in London as well as the many clubs that have now disappeared into the clubland history books, Future Disco DJs are well versed in delivering for the many rooms and stages on offer across the globe.
Headlining the stage will be Hammer from the world renowned Feel My Bicep crew and Andy Butler from Hercules & Love Affair.
Hammer is Belfast born, London based Rory Hamilton. Running club nights in Glasgow from the age of 20 was followed by co-piloting the Feel My Bicep blog with best mates Matt and Andy, Djing as far and wide as Shanghai under the FMB brand. Sub Club is now his spiritual home, promoting the ever growing Thunder Disco parties, introducing the likes of previous Alfresco headliners Paranoid London to Glasgow, and playing the renowned Subculture. More recently he’s been playing at AVA Festival, Boiler Room, Love International, Electric Elephant, Farr Festival and Secret Garden Party, with upcoming shows that include Sub Club Sound System, The Warehouse Project and ADE.
You can check out Hammer’s Boiler Room at AVA Festival here:
Andy Butler is the driving force behind retro-futurist kingpins Hercules & Love Affair but also a DJ of the first order. His devotion to dance music always ran parallel to Andy’s fascination with the freedom offered by disco’s hedonism. From his teenage years, DJing at underground leather nights in his native Denver, to his escape to New York, home to the original wild gay nightworld that gave birth to rave culture, to inventing Hercules & Love Affair as an outlet for his songs, music was always at the heart of it.
