Beauty: Lush Soak and Float Shampoo Bar - Daisy Chains.
Hey everyone, I recently stopped by Lush in Victoria Station on my way to Kent after work. I had plenty of time before the trains as they all had a meltdown due to storm doris. Having a look around I came across the 'Soak and Float' shampoo bar. The bar retails for £6.25 and I was told that it was excellent for treating eczema, dandruff and psoriasis. It's pretty nifty that the shampoo bar contains cade oil which is renowned for treating these conditions and the bar contains rose and marigold petals that are soothing to the skin.
Another great feature of the shampoo bar is that it contains low levels of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate which can be drying on both the scalp and hair. The bar itself has a smokey rose scent to it that is soothing to the senses and not harsh. Honestly, I love the smell so much I lather my hair extra with this to smell like a floral princess. I often am very sensitive to shampoos and using one the wrong way often wrecks havoc on my scalp and hair. So far with this, I have had no problems whatsoever. In fact, my scalp feels calm and my hair feels gentle. The bar itself lasts 60ish washes so it's absolutely great value for something you can easily transport with you without fearing spilling in your bag. Of course you don't have to wrap this up in a ziplock bag or anything as you can buy a carrying tin for it at only £2.50.
I am incredibly impressed with the quality of this and will be looking to buying more of their their hair and body products in the future. I am already a big fan of their bath range especially the 'comforter' bubble bar, so finding another product to absolutely adore has made me more inclined to go back and buy more. I definitely recommend everyone try this.


I am accomplished and energetic with a solid history of achievement in Business process planning and implementation, forecasting and planning, cost benefits analysis, budgeting and scheduling, project management, and systems development. I am a motivated leader with strong organizational and prioritization abilities.
My passion is in business management where I can utilize my skills in conflict resolution, scheduling, organizing, and analytical skills.

I have "Not So Different" on hold at the library, am actually glad it is getting out there and read! My niece has Cerebral Palsy & it would have been wonderful to have had books like these when she was growing up. I would say she'd love people to know her story, and then to move on. Not everyone does. Thanks for your ideas about it, Michele, and for the other one, too.
Hi Michele, I really want to read "Not So Different". "What's the Difference" is a new one for me. Thanks for sharing!
I was surprised I hadn't read the Burcaw book. I just checked my library and discovered it's because they haven't purchased it yet! I'm glad to get to request they purchase this one.
I love that these books can be uses to spark conversations and that they're also good reads.

Any KitchenAid blenders made after 2011 are BPA-free, so you don't have to worry about chemicals leaching into your food.
Best KitchenAid blender

Which KitchenAid blender is best?
Whether you like to start every day with a fresh smoothie, make frozen cocktails for parties or whip up milkshakes for the kids, a blender is usually a must-have kitchen appliance. If you want a top-notch model, you can't beat a KitchenAid blender when it comes to features and performance.
KitchenAid offers a wide range of blenders so that you can choose from high-performance models, standard countertop options and even immersion blenders. The KitchenAid High Performance Series Blender is the top choice if you want a top-of-the-line blender with great, convenient features.
What to know before you buy a KitchenAid blender
Blender type
KitchenAid offers three main types of blenders:
KitchenAid high-performance blenders provide the most powerful motors, so they can handle nearly any food, including pulverizing ice with ease. These models can even mix heavy batters, create nut butter and knead dough. However, they are the most expensive KitchenAid blenders.
KitchenAid standard countertop blenders aren't as powerful as high-performance models, but they can still handle plenty of tasks in the kitchen. They can effectively blend up smoothies, shakes, frozen cocktails, dips and sauces. Some standard models are more powerful than others, though, so you'll need to shop around to find the best fit for your needs.
Kitchen immersion blenders are commonly known as hand or stick blenders because they're handheld models without a jar. That allows you to bring the blender directly to a pot or bowl to blend ingredients. They work incredibly well for making soup and sauces. KitchenAid immersion blenders are usually the most affordable models, though some come with extras like a whisk or chopper and cost a little more.
You can measure a blender's motor power in horsepower. KitchenAid high-performance blenders usually offer 3.5 HP, while standard countertop blenders typically run at approximately 0.5 to 1 HP. To learn more, check out the complete KitchenAid blender buying guide at BestReviews.
A KitchenAid blender's jar capacity determines how much you're able to blend at a time. KitchenAid blender jars typically range from 50 to 90 ounces. Since immersion models don't have a jar, you can blend in a container of any size with one of these blenders.
Consider how many servings of your morning smoothie or how large a batch of soup you usually make to decide how large a jar you need.
What to look for in a quality KitchenAid blender
KitchenAid blenders can have a few different control styles. Some models feature buttons, while others have dial controls. Some high-end models even feature a touchpad. All types can work well, but touchpad controls are typically the easiest to clean because there aren't any nooks and crannies for food residue to become trapped.
The controls that a KitchenAid blender typically offers include multiple speed settings and preset programs for extremely user-friendly operation.
Heating function
Some blenders offer a heating function that allows you to cook and blend soups and sauces without needing to turn on the stove. This is a rare option in KitchenAid blenders, so make sure to read the product specifications carefully if this feature is critical to you.
Jar shape
The jars that come with KitchenAid blenders are either round, square or diamond-shaped. While round jars are the classic option, square- and diamond-shaped models create a more effective vortex to pull the ingredients toward the blades. That helps ensure that your recipe blends until entirely smooth.
Depending on the model, KitchenAid blenders are available in a range of colors. Some blenders only come in three or four shades, but others are available in as many as 15. You can find many neutral options, such as black, white or silver. However, some models also come in bolder colors like red or blue.
How much you can expect to spend on a KitchenAid blender
Depending on the model, you'll usually pay $50-$600 for a KitchenAid blender. KitchenAid immersion blenders are typically the most affordable, with some models costing as little as $35 and high-end options topping out at $350. Standard countertop models generally cost $100-$200, and high-performance blenders are the most expensive, ranging from $300-$600.
KitchenAid blender FAQ
Do KitchenAid blenders have dishwasher-safe components?
A. It depends on the model, but most KitchenAid blenders have jars, blades and accessories that you can clean in the dishwasher. As a result, these models are the easiest to clean.
What recipes can I make with a KitchenAid blender?
A. A KitchenAid blender can whip up various foods, including basics like smoothies, milkshakes, sauces and dips. High-performance models can make even more recipes, such as nut butter, soups and super-smooth frozen cocktails.
What's the best KitchenAid blender to buy?

The 11-ton block came from Raymond, California, via Cold Springs, Minnesota, and is commonly called Academy Black granite. The finished sculpture weighs 6212 pounds. This type of stone weighs about three times as much as water. The material is, in fact, not granite, but quartz diorite, and is 100 million years old. A geological analysis by Jeff Thole (Macalester geology department) showed that it is a medium-grained quartz diorite containing primarily plagioclase with lesser amphibole, orthopyroxene, quartz and biotite (in decreasing order of abundance). The image below is a thin section (30 microns thick) of the stone using cross-polarized light; the field of view is about one centimeter.


CCNY celebrates their third win in the last four matches after narrowly defeating John Jay Thursday night.
It may have taken all five sets to clinch the 3-2 win (23-25,25-20,25-21,25-17,15-11) at John Jay, but the late-match rallies are nothing new for the CCNY's Men's Volleyball team.
Both teams split the opening two sets with the Bloodhounds taking the first set 25-23 and CCNY going on a 5-0 run to take the second set 25-20.
However the Beavers ran into a little bit of trouble in the third set, as John Jay exploded for a 5-0 run after both teams traded kills back and forth to open the third set tied at five. CCNY rallied midway through the third set to tie the match at 11, and then again at 17, but John Jay would end the set on an 8-6 run to capture the third set to go up 2-1.
"The biggest difference was the energy," senior Nicholas Siriban said as the Beavers jumped to a 19-9 lead in the fourth set en route to a 25-17 win to tie the match at two-a-piece, sending it into the fifth and final set.
The Beavers started slow in the fifth set, finding themselves in a 6-3 hole before rallying to a 5-1 run to take a 8-7 lead as the teams switched sides midway through. In the second half of the fifth set, CCNY completed the rally, ending the game on a 7-4 run to seal the win.
The Beavers improved to 7-11 on the season 3-3 in the CUNYAC, and are 7-7 since opening the 2014 campaign 0-4. They are also 3-1 in the four matches that went the distance, only losing to York in five back on Feb. 18.
"We have the endurance. We're in for the long haul," Siriban explained. He tied with teammate Brian Yik Kim for a team high 14 kills on the night while Derrell Williams had 12.
Siriban led the Beavers to a come from behind win with 14 kills Thursday night.
John Jay's Jack Palleschi had a game-high 17 kills on the night for the Bloodhounds.
The Beavers return home for their final two home games of the season, starting on Wednesday against Medgar Evers and Thursday against Eastern Mennonite University. Both games set to start at 7 p.m.

Alpine (Sort Of) Teases Hotter A110 Ahead Of Le Mans Debut product 2019-06-07 07:31:23 https://www.motor1.com/news/353440/hot-alpine-a110-teaser/ Alpine A110 Teasers
By: Adrian Padeanu
Expected to be a road version of the GT4-spec race car.
It looks like we won't have to wait much longer to see the amped-up Alpine A110 as Renault's go-faster division has indirectly announced the mid-engined coupe will premiere in about a week. Previously believed to debut in July at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the higher specification of France's Cayman will be officially revealed during the 87th 24 Hours of Le Mans scheduled to take place next weekend, June 16 and June 17.
Teased on social media with the "Coming soon. Stay tuned…" caption, the beefier version of the Alpine A110 remains hidden in a shipping container that will make the trip #FromDieppeToLeMans as per the hashtag attached to the Facebook post. Needless to say, Dieppe is the home of Alpine where the A110 is produced and where the previous models were assembled up until 1995. In 2017, Renault dusted off Alpine as a sub-brand focusing on performance cars, with future models expected to include an SUV to take on the Porsche Macan.
Little is known about the spicy new A110 flavor, but it's expected to be a road-going variant of the GT4-spec race car. A prototype was spotted a couple of weeks ago of what is believed to be an even lighter version of the standard A110 combined with the 296-hp version of the 1.8-liter turbo engine found in the Renault Megane RS Trophy / Trophy-R. Suspension and chassis tweaks are also expected, along with upgraded brakes and a more aggressive body.
We'll learn everything there is to know about the new version in roughly seven days from now. The rumor mill indicates it will go by the name of Alpine A110 S / Sport, while an A110 convertible is allegedly earmarked for a 2020 release to fight the Porsche Boxster. The aforementioned SUV is apparently set for a 2021 launch, with an electric counterpart due in 2022.

Optimism About Future of Next Generations Highest Since 2010
author: PPD Elections Staff
President Donald Trump delivers his first State of the Union address as Vice President Mike Pence, left, and House Speaker Paul Ryan, right, stand for applause.
Sixty-one percent (61%) of Americans say it is very or somewhat likely that today's young people will have a better life than their parents did. The latest reading from Gallup marks a stark improvement since the low of 44% in 2011, though is still short of the 66% measured in February 2008.
The highest reading was recorded in July 1999 and December 2001, when 71% of Americans said it was likely young people would live better than their parents. But optimism fell during the 2007-2009 recession, hitting a low in 2011.
While People's Pundit Daily (PPD) has been critical of Gallup for not being verifiable — meaning, their accuracy is no longer measurable now that they've stopped polling elections — the trend is noteworthy.
There are clear relationships that can be extrapolated from the data.
Unsurprisingly, party affiliation has an impact.
Gallup measured a 29-percentage-point surge in positivity among Republicans and Republican leaners (to 70%) as Barack Obama's second term ended and President Donald Trump took office. Meanwhile, Democrats' and Democratic leaners' optimism about the next generation's chances at success fell 13 points (to 55%).
Secondly, Americans' views about the state of the economy have a significant impact, which likely explains the disparity between the parties. Democrats are reacting to positive economic indicators, i.e. the improvement of their own economic conditions.
Americans are generally feeling optimistic about the direction of the economy, and recent Gallup polling suggests that Americans still think the American dream is alive. Just as a healthy majority of Americans now think it is possible to get ahead through hard work, so too, do they believe it is likely that today's young people will have a better life than their parents did.
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted March 19-25, 2018, on the Gallup U.S. Poll, with a random sample of 1,503 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. All reported margins of sampling error include computed design effects for weighting.

> Retail Parking - A Waste of Space?
British drivers waste an average total of nearly four days a year looking for somewhere to park according to recent research.
Having to blindly hunt for a space can be like finding that famous 'needle in the haystack' and can become frustrating and time draining, risking making the overall shopping experience a negative one right from the start.
Latest figures show that the number of cars on England's roads has risen by almost 600,000 in one year, and with the rate of car ownership still growing, many of our traditional shopping centre car parks are not purpose-built to accommodate the modern-day car. There is also the issue of high concentration of land use along with multiple land ownership which make them difficult and expensive to adapt.
Whether you're an individual retailer, a retail park or a shopping centre operator and regardless if you offer free parking or paid for parking, you want to maximise the number of consumers in your store. To be able to win that battle for 'convenience' in consumer's minds, the shopping experience you offer needs to be right, and in most cases where a physical location is involved, the shopping experience starts and ends with the journey to and from the store.
The reality here is that the approach to/from the area and the car park facilities on site represent the first and last touchpoints of the shopping experience. Get that wrong and you risk dramatically tainting the whole experience and with it, not only a customers attitude, actions and likely spend during their current shopping visit, but also endangering the likelihood, frequency, or duration of future return visits.
Conversely, get it right and not only will they keep coming back, the likelihood of the frequency of those return visits increasing, their average spends per visit also rises. Improving the utilisation of a car park by even one or two percent per annum can have a significant impact on the revenues and profits made at a given location. By constantly providing that positive experience, you remove those negative psychological barriers for visitors and that effect can snowball, bringing with it significant long-term customer loyalty. This directly translates to an improved bottom line; words that owners and investors love to hear.
What solutions can be offered?
We are experienced in designing intelligent parking solutions and can significantly reduce the frustration and time taken driving around trying to find a space, guiding drivers to spaces quickly and efficiently.
Giving drivers advanced information, such as signs located in and around the car park, guiding them to spaces quickly and efficiently is key - not just at the car park entrance, but as soon as the driver/s arrive into the town/city.
Combined with journey time data, this can provide invaluable information to the driver on car park space availability and how long it will take to reach that destination. Providing this advance information to drivers means traffic flows can be managed and queues can be controlled and minimised.
This type of information can be facilitated by our Insight® Parking software, which is an integrated solution designed to simplify the management, monitoring and analysis of parking assets. Combined with a range of sensors and signs, it provides a complete solution for all types of parking operators and environments.
The software will also provide real-time reports which can alert management of developing situations, such as vehicles overstaying time limits, patterns of use, or incorrect use of dedicated bays for certain user-groups.
Providing the user with the information to find a space quickly and efficiently means traffic flows can be managed and queues into car parks can be controlled and minimised, therefore reducing congestion.
Does your car park provide a negative or positive shopping experience? Call or email us to improve the customers experience right from the start.


The IFLA Section on Management and Marketing in collaboration with BibLibre, Paris, France, has the pleasure to announce the IFLA - BibLibre International Marketing Library Award for 2018.

For humans, looking at how concrete examples behave is an intuitive way of deriving conclusions. The drawback with this method is that it does not necessarily give the correct results. However, under certain conditions example-based deduction can be used to obtain a correct and complete inference procedure. This is the case for Boolean formulae (reasoning with models) and for certain types of database integrity constraints (the use of Armstrong relations). We show that these approaches are closely related, and use the relationship to prove new results about the existence and size of Armstrong relations for Boolean dependencies. Furthermore, we exhibit close relations between the questions of finding keys in relational databases and that of finding abductive explanations. Further applications of the correspondence between these two approaches are also discussed.

King's counsel: a memoir of war, espionage, and diplomacy in the Middle East
O'Connell, Jack, 1921-2010.
W.W. Norton & Co.,
EPL Non-Fiction
956.04 O'CONNELL, JACK
[2011] 1st ed. W.W. Norton & Co., xx, 266 pages ; 24 cm. English
Jack O'Connell possessed an uncanny ability to be at the center of things. On his arrival in Jordan in 1958, he unraveled a coup aimed at the young King Hussein, who would become America's most reliable Middle East ally. Over time, their bond of trust and friendship deepened. His narrative contains secrets that will revise our understanding of the Middle East. In 1967, O'Connell tipped off Hussein that Israel would invade Egypt the next morning. Later, as Hussein's Washington counselor, O'Connell learned of Henry Kissinger's surprising role in the Yom Kippur War. The book's leitmotif is betrayal. Hussein, the Middle East's only bona fide peacemaker, wanted simply the return of the West Bank, seized in the Six-Day War. Despite American promises, the clear directive of UN Resolution 242, and the years of secret negotiations with Israel, that never happened. Hussein's dying wish was that O'Connell tell the unknown story in this book.

Let that sink in for a moment. The God of the universe calls you his child. His son or daughter. His beloved.
The Bible uses the images of Father and children all throughout its pages.
In the New Testament, Paul writes that those in Christ Jesus are the children of God, for they have been adopted as sons and daughters. His children cry out, "Abba, Father" (Rom 8:14-16). In the Old Testament, we see this language related toward God's relationship with Israel. The prophet Hosea writes, "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son" (Hos 11:1). Before this Father ever called his children, this Father loved his children. Before your heavenly Father ever called you, your heavenly Father loved you.
You have been called by a Father's love.
And as your Father continually calls you home to him (Hos 11:11), he leads you "with ties of love", lifting you up like a child to his cheek (Hos 11:4).
The story above may have stirred up all sorts of thoughts. Good ones. Challenging ones. More questions than answers. Stuff you've allowed to sit idly by for some time now. Often, this is because It is nearly impossible to neatly separate our perception of God as our heavenly Father from our experience (or lack thereof) with our earthly father. As you reflect, consider how this has been true in your own life.
Has God had to break through brokenness you experienced as a child?
Are there still barriers where his fatherly love has not been able to shine through?
Where can you continue to lean into him as a child, to be lifted up to his cheek?
Lastly, as he calls you to him by love, what is he speaking to you as you rest in his arms?

"SNOWMEN" ARRIVES ON DVD NOV. 29th, JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Posted on November 15, 2011 November 15, 2011 by John DiBiase
Award-winning family film from ARC Entertainment &
Mpower Pictures builds lasting legacy
"SNOWMEN is funny, engaging, thought-provoking, meaningful, and one of the best family movies I've seen in a long time."
– Christianity Today
LOS ANGELES (TBD) –ARC Entertainment and Mpower Pictures will release the heartwarming family comedy SNOWMEN to DVD nationwide on November 29, 2011. The film is sure to be a holiday favorite with stars like Bobby Coleman (The Last Song, Martian Child), Ray Liotta (Wild Hogs), Bobb'e J. Thompson (Role Models), Josh Flitter (Ace Ventura Jr.) and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future 1-3, Who Framed Roger Rabbit).
Recently judged "Family-Approved" by the prestigious International Dove Foundation, SNOWMEN received rave reviews and is currently a featured promotion on the foundation's website (www.dove.org). The film also received the Parents Television Council seal of approval.
Premiering in select theaters nationwide in October 2011, SNOWMEN was deemed the "Family Movie Event of the Year" and continues to build a lasting legacy with the DVD release.
"It has been wonderful – and rewarding – to hear the many stories of families who have seen the movie and then engaged in meaningful conversations with their children," said Mpower Pictures CEO, Stephen McEveety (The Passion of The Christ, Braveheart). "The beauty of this film is that it speaks to people in all different stages of life, most notably with Christopher Lloyd's powerful and timeless quote, 'When people talk about someone living a good life, it's not what they did that matters so much as how they did it.'"
SNOWMEN is a humorous and heartfelt coming-of-age story about three unlikely heroes and the winter that changed their lives forever. After a surprising discovery in the snow catapults three small-town boys into the spotlight, the best friends hatch a plan to be remembered forever by setting a Guinness World Records® title. Along the way, the trio battles schoolyard bullies, unites their community and discovers that – while fame may be fleeting – true friendship lasts forever.
SNOWMEN won the Audience Award at the 2011 Dallas International Film Festival, was named Best Feature Film at the 2011 SPROCKETS Toronto International Film Festival for Children and Youth, won the Heartland Film Festival's Truly Moving Picture Award, and won the First Runner -Up Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Pre-orders for the SNOWMEN DVD can be purchased online through Walmart and Amazon.

Q: Specifying DataContext in XAML and using it for binding in the next attribute Consider the following code:
<MyControl DataContext="{Binding DataObject}" Text="{Binding DisplayText}"/>

As far as I know, XAML attributes are assigned by the order they are declared. However, XML-wise, depending on it is a bad design. I guess I could rewrite it to look like so:
<Grid DataContext="{Binding DataObject}">
    <MyControl Text="{Binding DisplayText}"/>
</Grid>

However, putting a Grid just for semantics seems wrong to me.
What do you think?
Thanks!
Vitaly

A: I'm a little confused by your question. The order in which those attributes are set doesn't really make a difference. When the text attribute is set to the binding as you've done it, all it does is create a Binding that is tied to the Text property and has a Path of "DisplayText". As long as the DataContext is set at the time that the binding is evaluated (which occurs sometime later) then you're fine.

A: Grid is not recommended anyway cause it's effect performance, if you have no chiose(no parent to put context in) use a border

Riverwest Home Buyer Takes House From 0 to 50 in One Year
By Peggy Schulz on May 2014 in News
The Dousman Street house Daren Olson bought, gutted and refinished had no value beyond the lot on which it sat, when he purchased it from the City of Milwaukee in late 2012 in an open bid process. It was under a condemnation order; the City had plans to demolish it.
At its highest assessment, the home and lot were assessed at $82,500. By 2012, after the owners vacated and the City foreclosed, the assessment had dropped to $0. The 2013 assessment already was back up to $53,800. And that valuation was done while Olson still had lots of work to do on the house.
Olson already owned a home in Cedarburg, but he was very attracted to the Riverwest neighborhood because of its strong sense of community.
He heard about the Dousman property from a friend. It also was a friend of a friend who put him in touch with Community Warehouse. That has proved to be a key, cost-saving factor in the extensive work he's done on his home.
"Community Warehouse offers high-quality products for a very reasonable price," Olson says. He bought an electric toilet from the Warehouse that he has priced in retail stores, at $5,000. The price he paid at Community Warehouse? Eighty bucks.
He also has purchased interior and exterior doors, floor tile, Styrofoam for insulation, other bathroom fixtures in addition to the toilet, and an entire pallet of concrete board siding from Community Warehouse, Olson reports.
Originally from northern Wisconsin, Olson has lived in the greater Milwaukee area since 1992. He went to Haiti for a few years after the earthquake in 2010, first working for an aid organization and then doing development work. While in Haiti, he learned a lot about solar power, knowledge he has been able to apply to his home in Riverwest through the Solar Riverwest initiative. That program is co-sponsored by the Riverwest Cooperative Alliance, the City's Office of Environmental Sustainability through its Milwaukee Shines program, and the Midwest Renewable Energy Association.
In fact, the solar panels Olson installed on the roof of his house are so productive, he's already getting credits on his monthly utility bill from We Energies.
Olson also has worked with the Focus on Energy program and the City's Me2 effort to help him install his hot-water heating system, which also is solar-powered, in the floor of his house.
"Milwaukee is the beneficiary of a lot of phenomenal programs," Olson says, "including Community Warehouse."
Much like the solar connection, Olson's current job in the construction industry has figured into his ability to take a soon-to-be-demolished structure and turn it into a pleasant, livable, energy-saving home. The interior walls are a deep yellow color, "the sun theme," as Olson puts it. And Olson painted the outdoor siding he bought at Community Warehouse a lighter shade of yellow. The former grey, asphalt siding on the house paled by comparison.
"Everything fell into place," Olson says, of the path he took to owning and almost totally rebuilding the Dousman Street home.
The roof was the first thing to go because of its horrible condition. Next, Olson gutted the entire structure, leaving only the frame. He "sistered" every supporting stud in the frame, putting a new stud right next to each original one, creating greater structural support.
"Gutting the house also provided the opportunity to install really good insulation," Olson says, "about R-38 or R-40."
Olson's commitment to helping others is one that's shared by Steve Lied, Operations Manager at Community Warehouse. The two have become good friends since Olson's first visit to the Warehouse on S. 9th St.
In the interest of full disclosure, Olson reported that he did have to evict the then-current residents of the home after he bought it – a family of raccoons.
Olson is looking ahead to planting a garden at the rear of his east-facing house, another way to take advantage of the abundant sunlight that falls on the property. And he's eager to get more involved in the Riverwest community.

UPDATE: State Police Investigating Pedestrian Fatal in Lowell
The pedestrian victim from the crash earlier today on Route 495 in Lowell has been identified as LAWRENCE PERHAM, 39, of Bradford Maine. The details surrounding this crash remain under investigation. See below for original release.
Massachusetts State Police Media Release – 12242016 – State Police Investigating Pedestrian Fatal in Lowell
This morning at about 3:20 a.m., State Police from the Leominster barracks responded to a crash involving a pickup truck and a pedestrian on Route 495 southbound in Lowell which resulted in one fatality.
Preliminary investigation by Trooper Robert Holland indicates that a 2005 Ford pickup was traveling on Route 495 southbound, south of exit 37, when it collided with a 39-year-old man from Bradford, Maine, who was positioned in the second travel lane of the roadway. As a result of that collision, the pedestrian was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The operator of the pickup, a 61-year-old Chelmsford man, was transported to Lowell General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
This crash remains under investigation with assistance from the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Services and Crime Scene Services. Part of that investigation will include determining why the pedestrian, whose vehicle was located in the breakdown lane nearby, was in the travel part of the way. No charges have been filed at this time.
State Police were assisted on scene by Chelmsford Police, Fire, and EMS, Lowell Police, and MassDOT.
The identity of the victim is being withheld pending family notification. Please do not contact the barracks for media inquiries.

The chairman of Sarova Hotels, MS Vohra, his wife, daughter and daughter-in-law have died in a road crash on Nairobi-Mombasa highway in Makueni, Mukaa police boss Charles Muthui confirmed.
Mr Muthui said Mr Saveer Vohra, who was driving the vehicle when the crash occurred was first taken to Sultan Hamud County Hospital before he was flown to a hospital in Nairobi for specialised treatment.
"Two people died on the spot and the other two were pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital," Mr Muthui said.
The Toyota Landcruiser that the family members were traveling in towards Nairobi, veered off the road and landed in a ditch, according to Mr Muthui.
The family members were traveling back to Nairobi from a religious ceremony held at Makindu Sikh Temple.
The bodies of the four relatives were moved to Machakos County Referral Hospital mortuary while the wreckage of the vehicle was towed to Salama Police Station.
This is the latest tragedy to hit the Vohra family, which lost their father last year in a road crash around Amboseli Lodge while going to watch the East African Safari Classic Rally in November last year.
The accident series started in 2006 when then hotel group CEO Sandy Vohra passed on in a car accident in Addis Ababa and continued to the shock of the entire tourism fraternity in Kenya last year, when Sandy's brother and successor as CEO 'Pinky' Jaideep Vohra was involved in a fatal car accident, notably also on the Nairobi – Mombasa road. 'Pinky's' son is reportedly admitted in hospital, having also been in the car, but is said to be in a very critical condition.
Today's accident has further decimated the family's presence in the hotel company's management, a venture they formed in the late 1970's with John Kariuki with the first acquisition of the Ambassador Hotel, followed by the New Stanley, the Whitesands in Mombasa and the Panafric Hotel, alongside which expansion into Nakuru, Shaba and the Masai Mara followed.

Budget 2022 - Delivering a Fair Recovery
Despite the immediate uncertainty, Budget 2022 must embrace the need for new approaches to how we as a society prioritise choices. People, well-being, public services and a widespread and fair recovery must come first.
CAP funds attributed to climate action had little impact on emissions
The European Court of Auditors Special Report on the Common Agricultural Policy and Climate has found that the €100 billion of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funds attributed to climate action had little impact on such emissions, which have not changed significantly since 2010 and CAP mostly finances measures with a low potential to mitigate climate change.
Government Success Depends on Delivery
The Programme for Government contained several commitments which, if fully resourced and implemented, would represent significant steps towards creating a fairer and more just Ireland. As we emerge into a new post-Covid reality, our latest National Social Monitor looks at whether Government is delivering on its commitments in key areas and suggests that, so far, Government's achievements are not matching its commitments.
National Social Monitor - June 2021
Impact of CAP on Rural Development
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has published a report on the impact of the instruments and measures of the current Common Agricultural policy (CAP) 2014-2020 on the territorial development of rural areas, with a focus on socio-economic aspects including social inclusion.
Social Justice Ireland presents Budget Priorities to the Select Committee on Budgetary Oversight
How we plan our finances, and what we choose to prioritise, post-Covid-19, will have profound implications for the future of our economy and society. To this end Social Justice Ireland proposed to the Select Committee on Budgetary Oversight that the priorities for Budget 2022 should be adequate social welfare rates and poverty reduction, just taxation, housing for all and tackling unemployment.
Economic Recovery Plan not on scale required to address the challenges we face
The Economic Recovery Plan announced today, while welcome, is not of the scale required to address the social, economic and environmental challenges that we now face. Covid-19 has brought extraordinary social and economic costs. Alongside this, the challenges that existed pre-Covid remain and cannot be ignored
EU Child Guarantee - will it work?
The issue of child poverty is again prominent in the European Commission agenda, with the publication of the Council Recommendation for Establishing a European Child Guarantee. In order to be successful, increased political focus is required and children must be at the heart of post-Covid recovery plans. Increased European and national funding is also a prerequisite for success.
'Our Rural Future' - Rural Development Policy 2021-2025
Social Justice Ireland welcomes the publication of 'Our Rural Future' by Government. In particular we welcome the comprehensive approach of the strategy, which encompasses the economic, social and environmental aspects of rural development. Rural Ireland is a valuable resource with much to contribute to Ireland's future social, environmental and economic development. Government must deliver the resources, services and infrastructure necessary to make 'Our Rural Future' a success.
Returning to previous 'normal' would mean failure – time for a new Social Contract
In its annual Socio-Economic Review Social Justice Ireland argues that fundamental changes are required if Ireland is to have a fair recovery post-pandemic. Returning to pre-Covid normal would mean failure. A new Social Contract is needed and it can be developed and delivered.

Back to former Maryland governors
Gov. Thomas Holliday Hicks
Terms January 13, 1858 - January 8, 1862
Party Whig; Democratic; American; Constitutional Unionist; Republican
Passed February 13, 1865
Birth State Maryland
Family Married three times--Ann Thompson, Leah A. Raleigh, Mary Wilcox; five children
National Office(s) Served Senator
Military Service National Guard
THOMAS HOLLIDAY HICKS was born in Dorchester County, Maryland on September 2, 1798. His education was attained in the local schools of his native state. After working in the mercantile and boating industries, Hicks entered into a political career. He served as the Dorchester County sheriff in 1824, was a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from 1829 to 1830 and again in 1836, and served as a Maryland Senate elector in 1836. He also served on the Governor's Executive Council from 1837 to 1838, was the Register of Wills for Dorchester County from 1838 to 1851 and 1855 to 1858, and served as a delegate to the Maryland Constitutional Convention from 1850 to 1851. Hicks was elected governor by popular vote on November 4, 1857 and was sworn into office on January 13, 1858. During his tenure, the state was unsettled due to the outbreak of the Civil War. Also, conflicts increased over the secession issue, and Union troops were attacked when they marched through the streets of Baltimore, which resulted in Governor Hicks issuing the order to burn bridges around Baltimore in an effort to prevent the advancement of more troops. After completing his term, Hicks left office on January 8, 1862. He later was appointed and then elected to the U.S. Senate, a position he held from 1863 until 1865. Governor Thomas Holliday Hicks passed away on February 13, 1865, and was buried at the Cambridge Cemetery in Cambridge, Maryland.

Q: JavaScript - Replacing array value within object I'm trying to write a function that normalizes features (between 0 and 1) in a dataset. I want to iterate through all the features and replace values as I normalize them. Normalization works well, but I'm unable to overwrite the previous value.
Data.prototype.normalize = function(dataset) {

    // Get the extent for each feature
    for (var feature = 0; feature < this.featureCount; feature++) {
        var extent = this.getExtent(feature, dataset),
            min    = extent[0],
            max    = extent[1];

        // uses extent to normalize feature for all companies
        for (var company = 0; company < this.companies.length; company++) {
            var value      = this.companies[company][dataset][feature],
                normalized = this.normalizeValue(value, min, max);

            value = normalized;
        }
    }

}

It all fails at
value = normalized;

If I console.log(value) after overwriting it everything seems to work, but only within the scope of the function. Outside of this scope the original value remains.
data.companies[n] = { features : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], other properties... }

Here is an example of the feature array within my main object.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thank you!

A: In order for the change to be reflected in your object as opposed to the function, you need to explicitly set the property of your object.
Modify your for loop to explicitly set the normalized value like so:
for (var company = 0; company < this.companies.length; company++) {
    var value      = this.companies[company][dataset][feature],
        normalized = this.normalizeValue(value, min, max);

    this.companies[company][dataset][feature] = normalized; // explicitly set value
}

Interdisciplinary in nature, the Ph.D. in second language studies promotes state-of-the-art research and practice, preparing future academics and professionals for the realities of a multicultural and multilingual society. Second language studies uniquely prepares individuals to be global leaders in various cultural contexts in multiple languages through rigorous course work and investigation in areas including, but not limited to, second language structure, language in use, language and culture, language learning and acquisition, language teaching, and language policy and planning. As experts in one or more of these fields, graduates of the program are able to work in academia, business, industry, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, media, journalism, and other fields requiring linguistic and cultural competencies.
To fulfill the degree credit requirement, the student must have completed 54 hours of study beyond the bachelor's degree. Of these, at least 30 hours must consist of formal, nonremedial course work, and at least 18 hours must consist of dissertation credits. A maximum of 9 hours of course work from the student's M.A. degree may count toward the Ph.D. requirement with the approval of the student's advisory committee. Students must have completed a minimum of 18 hours of graduate work in continuous residence. Separate descriptions of course requirements for applied linguistics and Spanish follow.
The Ph.D. committee: The faculty and student will collaborate to compose a dissertation advisory committee, consisting of a minimum of three members of the Department of Modern Languages graduate faculty status and one University of Mississippi faculty member external to the student's major field or to the department. A student with a subfield should have at least one committee member from that subfield. The Ph.D. committee will administer and evaluate the comprehensive exam, supervise and approve dissertation work, conduct and evaluate the oral defense, and recommend the conferral of the degree.
Comprehensive exam: Students will take the comprehensive exam after they have completed all core course requirements, submitted a term paper from a graduate class, and met the language proficiency requirement. The written exam consists of two parts, taken one week apart, or up to a semester apart. Part 1 is a two-day exam (cloistered), answering questions based on the Ph.D. reading list. Part 2 is a take-home question based on the student's research interest. The student has one week to answer the question, and the answer (usually 40-50 pages) counts as the student's dissertation proposal/prospectus. A one-hour defense for each part may be taken at the same time, or as two separate defenses if parts 1 and 2 are taken in different semesters. Upon successful defense of Part 2, the student is admitted to candidacy and may begin earning dissertation credits.
Dissertation: The candidate is required to complete a book-length research project that makes an original and significant contribution to the field. Candidates must successfully defend their dissertation before the Ph.D. committee.
Proficiency in other languages: Before advancing to comprehensive exams, students must demonstrate reading proficiency in two languages other than English through advanced course work or an agreed-upon assessment.
An optional subfield (6-12 hours), subject to departmental approval.
Reading proficiency in a language other than Spanish and English: Before advancing to comprehensive exams, students must demonstrate reading proficiency in a language other than Spanish or English through advanced course work or an agreed-upon assessment.


1983 hardcover with dust jacket as shown Book in Mint condition Jacket has edgewear, chips in new archival jacket cover.
This is really an ideological biography; it's not a novel of ambition like Atlas Shrugged, but it details the life of a man who took a parlor trick, or plain quackery and made it into a plausible therapeutic alternative. Tell me if you notice the Forrest Gump scene.

Visiting Japan's Onsen towns
One thriving part of Japanese culture that is a must for visitors are onsen. Onsen are natural hot springs that are scattered throughout the country, thanks to Japan's location in a volcanic region. Onsen each have different combinations of minerals that are believed to have medical benefits. You can visit indoor and outdoor onsen, as well as private, public, mixed gender, and separate gender. Many resort towns have sprung up around onsen to cater to visitors from around the world. Here is a look at some of the most popular locations.
Kusatsu Onsen
This resort is one of the most popular for people who want to visit onsen. Three hot springs feed water into the onsen at this resort, which is famed for using a traditional method of cooling the springs called yumomi. Yumomi involves using large paddles made of wood that fan the water to reduce the temperature. Visitors can enjoy a demonstration of yumomi being performed each day at the Netsu No Yu bathhouse.
Kurokawa Onsen
Kurokawa onsens in Kumamoto is the perfect choice for visitors in search of a more rustic experience. You won't find high-rise hotels or flashing lights in this onsen town but rather a town that has carefully preserved an older way of life. There are three open-air baths as well as ample hiking experiences around the town, which sits between Mount Aso and the Kuju mountains.
Dogo Onsen
Dogo onsen, which can be found in Matsuyama, is the oldest in the country. The public bath opened in 1894 and is surrounded by a three-story, traditionally designed structure. Viewers of the film Spirited Away will recognize the building, as it was the inspiration for a bathhouse that appears in the animated feature.
Although the onsen of Japan may be far away, Japanese food is not, thanks to House of Genji. Come experience teppanyaki and hibachi dining at our Japanese restaurant in San Jose. You can learn more about our menu by calling (408) 453-8120.
Exploring the Origins of Teriyaki
In Japanese restaurants in the US, teriyaki is one of the most recognizable things on the menu for most people. In the US, teriyaki is usually thought of as a sauce, but in Japan, it is a style of cooking. The sauce may have originated not in Japan but in Hawaii, which is home to large ex-pat Japanese population. Here is a look at the history of teriyaki.
Teriyaki as a Cooking Method
In Japan, teriyaki as a style of cooking originated in the 17 th century. The "teri" part of the word loosely translates to "glazed," while "yaki" means "broiled" or "grilled." In Japan, the sauce that is used in meals that are prepared in teriyaki style is not necessarily like the teriyaki sauce used in Japanese restaurants in the US. Instead, when you see teriyaki on the menu in Japan, it is usually describing a glazed and grilled fish dish—usually salmon, tuna, or mackerel.
Teriyaki Sauce in Hawaii
The teriyaki sauce that is familiar in Japanese food in the US is believed to have been created by Japanese immigrants in Hawaii. The Japanese population there crafted a marinade that contained traditional flavors from Japan, like mirin, sake, and soy sauce, as well as ingredients that were indigenous to their new home in Hawaii, such as pineapple. Using this sauce as a marinade for grilled fish, chicken, and meat gradually increased in popularity and eventually become popular in the mainland in the 1960s, when there was an uptick in interest in Japanese cuisine.
Teriyaki Sauce Today
Today, teriyaki sauce typically contains some mixture of soy, mirin or sake, garlic, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. The sweet sauce can be used as a marinade, as a baste for cooking, or as a dipping sauce.
You can enjoy teriyaki sauce along with a variety of Japanese food specialties at House of Genji, including traditional teppanyaki cooking. Find out more about our menu and hours by calling our Japanese restaurant in San Jose at (408) 453-8120.

Q: PHP tree implementation: Accessing parent node I have an own Tree object implemented in PHP. Say we have a tree like:

Root
|_ Folder 1
|_ Folder 2
   |_ Subfolder 1

I can access Subfolder 1 like this:
$sf1 = $Tree->NavigateTo("Folder 2/Subfolder 1")
And $sf1 will hold the Subfolder 1 node. I want to implement a GetParentNode()  method, so that
$parent = $sf1->GetParentNode()  // Equivalent to Folder 2
This is the Tree definition:
class JaxpTree
{
    /**
     * @var     JaxpTree|JaxpTreeNode    Array of Tree nodes.
     * @access  public
     */
    public $Nodes;

    /**
     * @var     JaxpList    Array of Tree items.
     * @access  public
     */
    public $ItemList;
}

It works by nesting Tree objects, so Subfolder 1 can be accessed also like:
$Tree->Nodes["Folder 2"]->Nodes["Subfolder 1"]
which will be a TreeNode object:
/**
 * Represents a Tree node.
 *
 * @package     Jaxp.Trees
 * @subpackage  TreeNode
 * @since       1.0
 */

class JaxpTreeNode
{
    /**
     * @var     int Node id.
     * @access  public
     */
    public $Id;

    /**
     * @var     JaxpTreeNodeAttributes  Contains the node's attributes.
     * @access  public
     */
    public $Attributes;
}

How can I implement parent node accessing here?
Solved
Solution is to add a Parent property which contains a reference to the parent node.
Thanks!

A: You have to pass a reference of the parent to the node.

A: You need to store the parent node for every node (except the root node that has no parent node).
So just add an parent attribute to your JaxpTreeNode that holds the parent node or null if it's the root node.

A: This is the complete code i used to build a binary tree datastructure and its corresponding operations:
<?php
class Node
{
 public $data;
 public $leftChild;
 public $rightChild;

 public function __construct($data)
  {
   $this->data=$data;
   $this->leftChild=null;
   $this->rightChild=null;
  }
 public function disp_data()
  {
   echo $this->data;
  }

}//end class Node
class BinaryTree
{
 public $root;
 //public $s;
 public function __construct()
  {
   $this->root=null;
   //$this->s=file_get_contents('store');

  }
//function to display the tree
  public function display()
  {
   $this->display_tree($this->root);

  }
  public function display_tree($local_root)
  {

   if($local_root==null)
     return;
    $this->display_tree($local_root->leftChild);
    echo $local_root->data."
";
    $this->display_tree($local_root->rightChild);

  }
// function to insert a new node
  public function insert($key)
   {
    $newnode=new Node($key);

Licking StareThe fastest land mammal on earth, the cheetah. This little guy is so beautiful. There is something that draws me into the cheetah's eyes. I had the chance to pet him and I was shocked that the fur was far from soft. It felt like the bristle on a brush. This coarse fur helps the cheetah to move through the air with speed.
In the bush, in my opinion, the Zebra is the most exotic of the mammals. The stripes and their smile give me a feeling of delightful. Do you know stripes on Zebras are like fingerprints on humans? Each pattern is unique to the individual Zebra. It is also how the young identify their moms for nursing.
Seeking to AchieveWhat are you #seeking to accomplish this week? What are you #committed to #achieving? This #cheetah will let nothing get in her way. For her, there is a time for #speed, but at this moment it is time for #patience and a #stealthy pace. The goal is to #accomplish the #objective.

Faces of the documentary: OU at 50
By Christine Drabwell	 April 25, 2019 No Comments
Meet three of the stars of a new hour-long BBC documentary, celebrating The Open University and its 50th birthday.
OU graduates Cassandra Fellingham, Melanie Bailey and Abbey Farris all appear as they are filmed receiving their degrees at a degree ceremony in Brighton.
Find out more about them before tuning in to watch the documentary, called Happy Birthday OU: 50 Years of the Open University on BBC4 on Thursday April 25 at 9pm:
OU graduate Cassandra Fellingham
Cassandra missed out on higher education post school, but got the chance to study for a degree with the OU at 24. By this time she had a child and juggled studying and childcare with a full-time job. She says:
I felt that a degree would give me the clarity I needed to succeed – especially when working side-by-side with colleagues that already had significant qualifications. Studying has given me more confidence in my abilities and diminished the insecurities I had at school.
Thrown into this mix was serious illness; Cassandra managed her studies while also receiving treatment for cancer and credits her tutors and OU support teams for helping her through:
When I hit a bump in the road with my diagnosis of cancer, The OU was supportive in allowing me time to step away from my course to concentrate on my recovery.
She highlights the self-motivation needed to study distance learning, but says forums and Facebook groups meant she did not feel alone. At Brighton, receiving her Open Degree Cassandra looked back:
Through it all my kids have been my inspiration – I want to provide them with a role model to look up to – and after you've tackled the ups and downs, it's so worth it to be standing on stage with your degree certificate on graduation day!
Abbey and her baby son at her graduation
Abbey has had a momentous year – completing her final year of study, planning her wedding and giving birth to her first child. No wonder the flexibility of studying with the OU was attractive to her!
Having begun her Higher Education studies at a traditional university, Abbey found it wasn't for her and she changed direction. Not only did she switch from sports science to health and social care, Abbey also began working in a psychiatric hospital alongside:
I wanted my studies to help shape my work, so that I could better understand the patients that I was working with, providing them with the best care for their needs.
Working alongside studying was challenging at times, but the sense of achievement and personal satisfaction kept me motivated.
She utilised online tutorials, forums and Facebook groups for solidarity and friendship:
Solo studying can be tough, but with The OU you're only a computer away from a whole network of supportive staff and peers.
Abbey's baby son was just eight-weeks old when she crossed the stage at Brighton to receive her OU degree. Once she returns to work she says she's going to think about studying again:
My advice for anyone considering signing up for an OU course, would be to throw yourself into it and enjoy every second – even those late nights when your scribbling away trying to finish your work, it's all worth it when you can stand side-by-side with your fellow students on graduation day.
Melanie Bailey at her graduation
Twenty-six-year-old Melanie Bailey also diverted from an initial route to a traditional university where she was studying psychology, and chose the OU way instead. She said:
I was away from home, in central London and whilst I was enjoying the subject and had lots of work and study to do, I felt there was something missing. I actually missed the part-time work I had been doing before going to university.
She returned home and began working in one of her local hospitals in their laboratories. She took up an OU degree in Natural Sciences and incredibly managed her studies whilst doing a full-time job and completed in just four years – with a 2:1.
When you enjoy what you are studying and if it's a love and passion it doesn't feel like work. It was an escape from my regular day job and I didn't think about it being tough. Everyone at work said they couldn't understand how I did it, but I just love learning, a hobby for me is to learn something new or unexpected.
A strong advocate for women in STEM, Melanie has continued to pursue her career and is now doing a PhD with Teeside University while also working full-time in a GP surgery.
Her ambition is to work in public health research, particularly suicide prevention and is enjoying the experience she is gaining working in primary care.

"Leaders don't want to micromanage their employees, but often they are forced to because the employees lack critical thinking skills," Gambrill said. "Ideally, you'd like to say, 'I trust you to make decisions that are good for the business,' and let people come up with their own solutions."
"When an employee believes strongly in the company's mission, their job is no longer a job. It's a calling," Kaplan said. "I've learned first hand that people work harder when they feel connected to and believe in your mission as a leader and the mission of the company."
In today's fast-moving business world, the worst thing an employee can be is a drain on their boss' time, said Nick Gidwani, founder of Skilledup.com.
naming files or folders properly, or more substantial tasks like writing high-quality meeting recaps."
"As an employer, we need to be able to count on our employees to show up on time and do the work we are paying them to do," Pike said.
Time and time again, conscientiousness proves itself to be among the top indicators of job performance, said Lynda Zugec, managing director of The Workforce Consultants.
"Make sure you pay attention to the details," Zugec said. "Spelling and grammatical errors, lost and misplaced files, or general disorganization have the potential to make or break you."


Big Sky Basketball: Same Old Sacramento State?
Not too long ago, Sacramento State was 3-1 and leading McNeese State by 17 at the half, looking to make it 4-1. Since then, they have played five bad halves of basketball, looking every much the team that hasn't had a winning season in over 20 years.
They had the second half collapse against McNeese State, got blown out by Cal Poly 77-51, and got pounded 82-53 by Oklahoma last night.
Freshman PG Dylan Garrity, who has been so good for most of the season, struggled big-time against Oklahoma, with 4 assists against 7 turnovers. The Hornets turned it over 22 times, could not get consistency on offense, and could not stop the Sooners from scoring.
With the loss, Sacramento State is down to 3-4 and have 4 non-conference games to go before the Big Sky schedule comes. They travel to Cal State Bakersfield, and then have 3 home games against Cal-Maritime, North Dakota, and SE Missouri. If they want to have a chance to finish at the .500 mark, they need to win at least 2, and probably 3 (or even better, all 4) of those games. Going 3-1 would put them at 6-5 headed into conference play (also with the Bracket Buster remaining). Given their less-than-steller conference record in past year's, this would at least give them a puncher's chance to win more than they lose.
Sac State leaves me scratching my head. Here's a case where I definitely think it has to do with facilities. Get better facilties for basketball, and I think their forturnes turn for the better.
Give them credit, Katz has done well to recruit some good players and it takes time to mesh. They are there, they are learning, they have done some nice things already this year. Season is still new!
I think the facilities comment is worthwhile. Great facilities draw great athletes. I think Garrity is a amazing PG who Katz got lucky getting. If he added 15-20 pounds he would be unstoppable. I highly doubt he'll stick around the Big Sky though, he's good enough to move on.
