First reporting: Clemson and the University of South Carolina will have their annual showdown this year on Saturday, November 27, at Clemson.
And looking at the seasons of both teams thus far things are looking more favorable for USC.
The Post and Courier has a quick into to some of the tea leaves leading up to this year's game; take a read here.
The Gamecocks won last year's match and out of the last five years the series favors the Tigers 3-2.

One of the three Issa children and the only son for his parents, John and Aida, Mr. Issa held the job of executive vice president at SuperClubs. He packed his things last weekend and left the Ocho Rios office where he was based after he was fired from the hotel chain that runs several hotels under the Grand Lido, Starfish and Breezes brands in Jamaica as well as in the Caribbean and South America.
Mr. Issa is well known on the Coast where he has a high community profile and is often seen out among ordinary people, in the local shops and restaurants. He served for two years as president of the St. Ann Chamber of Commerce while being a vice president of SuperClubs.
His actual work in the hotel chain started nearly ten years ago when he worked as resident manager at Grand Lido Negril, learning on the job before taking up other positions in hotels and the executive offices of the resort chain.
Mr. Issa last Wednesday was engaged to Asha Manglani a businesswoman in her own right. Family members rebuffed the argument that the engagement had anything to with the separation between the 37- year- old Mr. Issa and the chain.
Mr. Issa has invested heavily in his own companies outside of tourism directly under the "Cool" brand. The companies are managed and set up with separate offices outside of the SuperClubs business.
The SuperClubs chain did not issue any statement up to press time.

McGill study group digs for Anishinaabe language roots, one week at a time
Each Wednesday, more than a dozen students meet in a McGill University study room to learn and practice Anishinaabe, a language heard on the Island of Montreal long before French or English.
The student-led sessions formed after a discussion between Anishinaabe student Jenny Makahnouk and Dr. Nathan Ince of the university's history, classical and Indigenous studies departments.
"I took a course with Nathan last semester, and we're both just really interested in the Anishinaabe language," said Makahnouk, a third-year student at McGill. Her family is from Seul Lac First Nation in Northern Ontario. "We just kind of got together, and we're like, 'We like Anishinaabe. Let's try this out.'"
What started as a very small group grew to include between 14 and 20 students who show up weekly to practice and build their language skills.
"The language is brilliant," said Ince. "The way it expresses things is so different than any other language that I've encountered."
He loves deconstructing and learning how to arrange words.
"It is a pleasure to sort of unravel these little riddles and realize that what you thought was there when you're reading the sentence is actually something completely different."
The students, Ince said, are excited to learn the language.
"There's a real sort of fun element to it," he said. "To use the language of the kids, you have your minds blown frequently over how humans can communicate with each other. It's it's incredible. There's an excitement."
Jenni Makahnouk is part of a group of McGill University students learning the Anishinaabe words for animals, places, and anything they can as they build language skills from the grassroots up. (Daniel J. Rowe/CTV News)
ANISHINAABE, A THREATENED LANGUAGE
The Endangered Language Project lists Anishinaabe (also called Ojibwe, Chippewa or Algonquian) as threatened, with around 1,500 fluent speakers.
"It's quite hard to find fluent first-language speakers of Anishinaabe," said Makahnouk.
She grew up in Edmonton but visited her community often. Like many people her age, she found that the destructive Canadian residential school policy caused a break between her grandmother's generation and her parents, who were forced to speak English.
"My grandmother still speaks quite fluently, but none of her children speak, and none of her grandchildren speak," she said. "I'm trying to learn it, and I'd like to pass it on as much as I can, but it's really difficult to do that."
Moving to Montreal, Makahnouk also faced Quebec's language politics.
"It's really interesting to me because the Indigenous languages are the first languages, and it's really quite fascinating to hear French and Anglos sort of fight over whose language was here first," she said. "I'm always sort of laughing that well; neither of you were here first. Indigenous languages were here first."
Despite the challenges, language revitalization projects range from the small study group at McGill to the two-year Kanien'kéha (Mohawk) adult immersion program in Kahnawake.
Those with a passion and interest in Indigenous languages survival continue to work for their inclusion in the language debate.
"I wish that there was as much passion for French and English protections as there could be for Indigenous protections," said Makahnouk. "It's really hard for us to learn (Anishinaabe), and there doesn't seem to be a lot of like status with our languages, and yet, we were the first languages of the land."
FULL CREDIT ANISHINAABE COURSE
Work continues to develop an Anishinaabe course at McGill for full credit, but finding an instructor and building a course curriculum remain challenges.
"It's essentially working as sort of a student-interest club," said Ince. "It runs informally; it is not a for-credit course. There are various discussions going on as to how we could turn it into a for-credit course."
Students like those in the study group would like to see Anishaanabe alongside other languages on a course catalogue.
"You can get credits for French or Italian; why can't I get credits for Anishinaabe? If the interest is there, and we can get a course, why not actually get credits for it as well," said Makahnouk.

There´s only two kind of training systems. Those which make you stronger and those which don´t. In the real strength training system there´s the real proven methods utilized, tested in theory and practise.
You perform better no matter what level, sport and background. The methods are justified by the results. No other strength training system can do the same.


Discussion in 'Sony Alpha E-Mount News and Rumors' started by macjim, Oct 10, 2011.
You can see a photo of the new Sigma 30mm lens on the Sony Alpha Rumours site.
It does seem an odd choice since it essentially reproduces an existing Sony lens. It would have been nicer to see something that filled a gap like a 35/1.8 or even an affordable 24/2. I hope those will come from Sigma eventually. It would be nice if they could come up with a road map.
I'm really hoping we see some good third party lenses soon. Manual lenses are great, but your average consumer may be scared off by them. Plus, competition should drive down prices!
Could be wrong, but it looks like that lens is for Micro 4/3... "Micro Quatre Tiers".
It's for both m4/3 and NEX so I assume there will be two versions, an E fit and an m4/3 fit.
Ah, good to know. Thanks for clarifying.
Am I the only one who wishes this was a 60mm f2.8 Macro?
Probably not. I'd like something around that focal length myself; I'd also be using it for portraiture. I'd be interested in seeing output from such a lens in various contexts, up close work, portraits, short telephoto general purpose, opened up and stopped down.
Am also keeping my eye open locally for a legacy macro > 50mm for that purpose.
And got quite good information thanks for it.

Also check out the video of the event night!
The food, drinks, presentation, demonstration and company was amazing.
Valerie Lim was the host of the night and it was lovely meeting the young and capable managing director of Porcelain, the Face Spa, Pauline Ng. Not forgetting to mention the band Char Siew Baos were really good live performers crooning to the melodies of the night.
Porcelain the Face Spa started out in 2009, and believes in foundation free skin.
In 2013, they won the Best Beauty Spa in Asia at the prestigious World Luxury Spa Awards.
In addition to bringing in new facial machines and treatments, they have also formulated their own line of skincare products.
Their star product, the Porcelain Flawless Pore and Spot Intensive Serum.
After using this product for 1+week, I am loving it very much.
I use it after toner, apply 3-4 drops on my face. It is extremely hydrating which a thick water base gel-like consistency (thanks to the CoQ10 which also targets wrinkle treatment). When applied on the face it takes a minute of massage and patting for the serum to fully absorb into the skin.
Application in the morning keeps the face hydrated throughout the day and application in the night keeps my face fresh and hydrated when I am awake. Definitely recommended and safe for oily and combination skin types. If you're just starting out with serums and you're looking for a safe and hydrating serum (versus the nourishing serums which may be too enriching for young and/or sensitive skin), I would suggest this.
Priced at $41 for 8ml, it can last for 3 weeks. Product has to be finished within 3 weeks upon opening.

The haze situation is getting a bit better, especially with the recent rainy days here in Singapore.
To prepare you for sunny summer, I'd like to introduce you to The Face Shop's Natural Sun range to protect your skin from the sun rays when you're out!
It was a very lovely bloggers' event.
fresh sunflower tagged with our name, personalized table namecard.
The food at the Backstage Cafe (@backstagecafe) was delicious, I strongly recommend the meat platter!
It was lovely catching up with my home-girl Sheena, we both attended the same church and kids camps when we were younger!
She's come a long way and was even crowned Singapore's The Face Shop Top Girl 2013 and had a photoshoot with korean actor Kim Hyun Joong!
The Natural Sun Eco Power Sun Cream SPF 45 PA+++ Long Lasting is a a smooth and creamy sun cream.
it's enough to put this on for sun protection and head out!
For a more flawless finish, after applying suncream protection, you can add on this Natural Sun Eco Smart Cushion with SPF 50 PA+++.
It's still sun protection and isn't a foundation, though it definitely looks and can double up as one.
I like applying both together for a moist and dewy look, which is definitely a good look out under the summer sun at the beach!
The SMIM Fermaented Concentrate Total Treatment is one of The Face Shop's best sellers.
This is touted to be an all in one essence that helps you achieve brighter and younger looking skin.
It improves your skin texture and boosts the absorption of other products.
This weekend, The Face Shop is having a sale!

a mid fine dining restaurant that serves up Indian cuisine that has been rated 4.2/5 on their Google+ page.
Pretty good ratings I'd say. Was my experience as good or better?
First up, we had Seekh Kebab. I love this! It's like tandoori chicken but even better, softer.
We also had ladies fingers. Two type were mixed in it, one crunchier, the other softer.
We definitely enjoyed this as well!
Chicken Chattinad. Spicy Indian chicken curry. It was spicy!
Chapati and Butter Naan! Smita had the Chapati and I had the Naan. I enjoyed the Naan.
Chaas/Muru. Chaas is what the north indians call this drink, Muru the south indian.
Essentially it's like an smoothie drink with jelly mixed it.
It has a unique mix of sweet and savory tastes, which was surprisingly pleasant.
I'd definitely re-order the Seekh Kebab and Butter Naan the next time I'm back.
And try other dishes there. All in all, I'd give it a 4/5 in terms of good food, portions, ambience.
$$$: ~ $20-30 per person.
Reflections for 2013 | What's life, if it's not experienced?
As the year 2013 draws to a close, like many of my friends who've already done so, I'd also like to pen, or type in this case, some of the more striking lessons and thoughts I've learnt from the year past.
A lesson that I've been reminded in the final month of the year. I shared with a few friends that I find it hard to forgive a friend/person when the other party doesn't apologize and/or ask me for forgiveness. It would be too obnoxious to go up to them and go "It's ok that you didn't ask for forgiveness, but I forgive you." As I thought about the friends that I needed to forgive, I realize that as much as I felt that they wronged me or took me for granted, perhaps they didn't know that I was mad at them. And if that's true, then perhaps I've also unintentionally wronged or took some friends for granted and needed to seek forgiveness from them. That thought's a humbling one. With this thought, leads to another – that if we care enough for a friend, we won't let misunderstandings come in our way. We'll find a time for a HTHT, we'll learn that forgiveness is just part of imperfect human relationships and we'll find that our relationship/s emerges stronger through the tough times.
2. Focus on what've we've got, not what we lack.
On hindsight, I've been placed in several situations this year that found me lacking in the resources I need. Resources to organize stuff and such. And through them all, I realize that, by the grace of God, I made it through because I focused on who and what I had on hand, and not on whom and what I lacked. That, is a very important lesson I'm so glad that I've experienced without any hiccups. I say this because the reality could have easily seen me in a pity-party crying and wallowing about all the people and things I lack in my life to make it an awesome one. But it would be like missing a yellow colour pencil in a full set of colour pencils and saying that I've got no colours in my life. The truth is, life has always been what we make of it. Yes, we can choose to let life make us and define us. BUT, we can also acknowledge everyone that we have, every thing that we've been given, put them in a pinata, shake them up, let the confetti burst into the air and celebrate life and all that we've got. Because, why not?
3. Love people, not things.
There are many awesome people in my life whom I regularly thank God for, but as I grow older, I've come to really appreciate my eldest sister in a new and different light each time I grow to a different stage in life. We tend to share similar items at home like clothes and tech stuff whether we use the same items or we have the similar items. To cut a long story short, I allowed a phone charger cable to take precedence over my sister in my life; and as I reflected about my behaviour I was ashamed that I've hurt my sister in doing so. Thankfully I apologized and she also forgave me. It was after this incident that I came to the realization that 1. I must not let things take precedence over people in my life. 2. I must not, in any situation, say words that are unkind that will cause hurt to people I love. Especially if I love them, I must not say words out of spite which I cannot take back.
4. Let the walls down.
5. Don't let disappointments get you down. Fight it with all you've got. Know that everyone struggles, but you can emerge victorious.
There's a certain struggle that I've been fighting with for the longest time. The point being, I struggle with a false sense of justified in-action because of certain disappointments, albeit unaddressed and repeated, that I allow to get to me. I was going to say that I don't know why I let the disappointments get to me, but then I know that's not true. It got to me simply because I gave up trying to fight it. I've got to learn to accept and let go of disappointments, even unaddressed ones, in order to move on in my life. I've let them bog me down for far too long. It's really time that I overcome this seemingly silly struggle and with hope I pray that God will allow me to, in 2014!
6. Choose wisely, that which defines you.
I was going to say, don't let others or situations define you. And I wanted to say, define yourself. But what I really mean to say is, take control of what defines you and know that it is your conscious decision that allows people and situations to define you. As a Christian, I choose to allow biblical values to define my way of life/lifestyle. I allow the family I am from and the values that I've been brought up with, to define me. I choose to define my skills and knowledge based on the schools, courses, teachers and peers I've met. I choose to define myself as a Christian, daughter, sister, real estate agent, blogger, confident, empowered young woman and the list goes on. People in life will expect and try to define you. But you don't necessarily need to allow them to. Not even if they are simply older and wiser. Because only you will know what it is that you want for yourself in life (unless you don't, and if that's the case I would say, you need to find and know yourself first). I would suggest taking others' advise into consideration, as reference; but ultimately your life is yours to live, and live it the way you deem fit. It would be a waste of one's life trying to fulfill the potential of another's dream instead of exploring one's true ambitions.
7. Be the real you, and be ready for Change.
In continuation from the point above, we have the choice and the power to decide for ourselves, who we are. And I hope that you will take the courage to face up to who you really are. Acknowledge your weaknesses, embrace your fears and failures, know that it is all your imperfections that make up the beautiful you. The world will rather have the real you than a second grade copy of another person. In the same way, know that you are the best version of who you are and can be, no one else can come close. We are indeed all different and unique, wonderfully and fearfully created by God. Know that people will judge you for who you are, and they will judge you for who you're not. No matter what you say, or not say, what you do or not do, people will judge. So, why not speak up, laugh out loud, smile widely, love deeply and simply be unabashedly you. That said, know that Change isn't an option, but that Change is a part of life. We are all bound to change. We will grow older, yet not all will necessarily grow wiser. Only the brave will acknowledge that Change is necessary for improvement to a person's spirit and soul. We would be fools to do the same things repeatedly and expect different results. Therefore to experience growth and maturity, we have to Change for the better. Start exercising to get healthy, start thinking positive to be happy. Everyday is another day to be a better version of who we are.
Don't wait for the next time to pause and admire the morning glory on the fences, smile at your neighbours, greet the good-looking colleague in another department, introduce yourself to the fellow bus passenger on bus 28 whom you've met for the 2nd time in the month or tell your mum/dad/bro/sis that you love them and mean it. Always remember that life is vulnerable as much as it is precious. Death to illnesses and disasters are real. It is an assumption that we will always have tomorrow. Don't assume. We may only have today. If you've never tried, just for one day, live it as though it were your last. What will your last words be to each person that you'll meet? Will you do anything differently? If so, why wait till you're dying to live truly? I always find most chinese funerals to be such an ostentatious affair of wasted affections. We can't be sure that the dead will appreciate the dirges and euglogies offered. Why not pay your respects to people you love and celebrate the goodness of their lives while they're living? Why not gather the people you love and remind them you love them, often? Live, in the moment.
9. Dream big, set realistic goals and never stop moving.
I've always been big with dreams. My ambitions are so big, they go beyond the shores of Singapore. Because, while others may see my dreams and scoff, I'd go, why not? Dreaming is never an issue, but setting, planning and achieving the goals are the real gritty stuff we hate to handle. The secret, I'm still learning, is to never stop moving. If you don't hit your goals, it's not a problem, cause if you're always taking steps towards your dreams, you can be assured that you're one step closer to your dream.
This list has turned out to be thrice longer than what I've expected. Up ahead, I plan to write down a list of things I'd like to openly announce to achieve in my life, on my blog and I hope that that will give me more confidence and spur me to get them done!
What's your 2013 learnings? Let me know in the comments below!
#LaterPost | Hunger Games Movie Date With My Sisters!
A super belated repost from my instagram @ena_teo.
Monday night's dinner & movie date w my sisters. Been craving mash potato dish for a while and it was nice to indulge in a Popeyes meal. I enjoyed watching #HungerGames2 but only found out both sisters didn't watch the first one during the movie. Had to softly whisper the context to them. Pls do watch the first one first as it's necessary to fully appreciate the second one. Planning to get my hands on the books to find out what happens for part 3. Can't wait for another year! I like that the heroine, Katniss has her own doubts and fears but is still a symbol of hope for the people, making her a believable and relatable character.
over at Bunc@Radius at Little India, Singapore!
Bunc@Radius is a luxurious 5 star hostel.
15 Upper Weld Road, Little India, Singapore 207372.
Mao quite obviously enjoying his bed and pillow.
Bunc beds are uniquely customized and each has a 7inch mattress with two fluffy pillows which are sealed with bug resistant hygiene covers and with hotel grade duvet!
Here's Gan Da and Justin posing happily along with the colourful rainbow balloons!
Check out the vent on the right of the balloons, these vents are there to provide fresh air ventilation. The system works by taking in fresh air from outside the building, runs it through a cooling system and pumps in cool air into each room and forces stale air out through an exhaust. Cool huh?
Look at how happy Gan Da is with the balloons… hahaha!
We decorated the communal area tables with some streamers!
After the BBQ session, it was time to celebrate our December babies' birthday!
Yup that's me bringing out the cake. Heh.
A group pic to remember all the Ayers that came down for the BBQ!
With the whole group that came down for the BBQ, this time including Yi Ning's hubby!
Special thanks to Butter Studio for sponsoring these gingerbread men and delicious cupcakes during our staycation!
The next morning, we went down to check out the breakfast!
I spotted something interesting at the breakfast area… I really like that Bunc@Radius supports local artists through this Glimpse project.
My friends and I had a lovely time catching up during our BBQ at the outdoor deck.
The open air concept, fully fitted kitchen, tables and chairs allowed us to have a fuss free BBQ.
We were particularly impressed with the dorm beds and fitting and toilets which were modern, clean and spacious.
so a lot of travellers will gather in the lobby to make use of the strong wifi in the area.
Are you looking to organize a staycation with your friends anytime soon?

We gave our feedback to the staff and hopefully it won't be too tough for others in the future!
and I am also a BIG fan of omu-rice!
The combination of eggs, mushroom and cheese with the curry was yummy!
& the chicken karaage was also perfect!
I probably had too much of goodness in my belly that day.
So this has got to be my FAVE dish of the day.
My sister noted that this dish had a stronger tumeric taste to it!
which was sweet & refreshing!

At some point, every student has wished for a free ride to college.
No worries, no loans, no waitressing on the weekends — just an opportunity to cram your brain with as much knowledge as possible.
Of course, we can't all receive full college scholarships, but we can be touched — and, more importantly, inspired — by those who have.
If you need some motivation to seek your own scholarships (and maybe have a good cry while you're at it), you should hop on YouTube.
You'll find an abundance of videos of people getting free rides to college, and although all of them are good, some are really good.
For your inspirational viewing, we've narrowed it down to seven heartwarming videos of deserving students.
In this video, it's the mom who causes the waterworks. The student, who says she received a first-generation scholarship to attend the University of Florida, waited to tell her mom the news in person. The results are touching.
Briana Kimble never had a permanent home and sometimes found herself living on the streets. Despite the incredible challenges, she worked hard at school and earned a full ride to Colorado State University. Even her teachers get misty-eyed!
The lead-up for this video is spectacular. It starts with the Minnesota Gophers football coach asking Kyle, a patient at the children's hospital, who his favorite college player is. Surprisingly, he doesn't name a star quarterback; instead, he names Justin Juenemann, a walk-on kicker who's never played in a game. The rest? Well, you'll have to watch.
Yesica Calderon is a "Dreamer," a young person who was brought to the U.S. without documentation. That means she was ineligible for federal financial aid and couldn't afford to attend college — until she received a full scholarship from Scholar Athletes to Regis College in Boston.
Oh jeez. It's the dad who kills me in this one. His excitement as his daughter pulls up in the driveway and his raw emotion after she discovers she's a Gates Millennium Scholar will get you good.
Leave it to Ellen to totally crush the surprise scholarship game. The best stuff comes at the end of the clip. You can tell the kids suspect something — but when Ellen makes the big announcement, they go bananas.
In this video, I love how grateful the mom is for an envelope — even when she thinks it's just a Mother's Day present. When she finds out the enormity of the gift, her reaction is even better.
Not everyone can have Ellen as a fairy godmother or be a college football player, but many of you can receive scholarships.
To find them, use a scholarship search tool. Then, apply early and spend time on your applications. You won't win them all, but even if you win one, it'll be worth your while.
If it helps motivate you, put it in financial terms. Let's say you spend 20 hours on scholarship applications and eventually win awards equaling $10,000. You'll have earned $500 per hour — a much better wage than whatever you're making with your work-study job.
And just think: The next time someone shares one of those free-ride-to-college videos, you could be the one starring in it.

1. Process, procedure, proceeding apply to something that goes on or takes place. A process is a series of progressive and interdependent steps by which an end is attained: a chemical process. Procedure usually implies a formal or set order of doing a thing, a method of conducting affairs: parliamentary procedure.
How Do You Spell PROCESS? Correct spelling for the English word "process" is [pɹˈə͡ʊsɛs], [pɹˈə‍ʊsɛs], [p_ɹ_ˈəʊ_s_ɛ_s] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
The plural of the word "process"(not being Greek) is pronounced "process's", that is with a short e sound at the end – just as in the plural of "dress, stress, tress, address" and so on. French words ending in -ee have an acute accent on the first e and it is pronounced as a flat "ay" sound.
Correct spelling for the English word "With" is [wˈɪð], [wˈɪð], [w_ˈɪ_ð] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
Correct spelling for the English word "daughter" is [dˈɔːtə], [dˈɔːtə], [d_ˈɔː_t_ə] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
Correct spelling for the English word "Elsa" is [ˈɛlsə], [ˈɛlsə], [ˈɛ_l_s_ə] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
Correct spelling for the English word "girl" is [ɡˈɜːl], [ɡˈɜːl], [ɡ_ˈɜː_l] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
Correct spelling for the English word "cute" is [kjˈuːt], [kjˈuːt], [k_j_ˈuː_t] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
Cuteness is a subjective term describing a type of attractiveness commonly associated with youth and appearance, as well as a scientific concept and analytical model in ethology, first introduced by Konrad Lorenz.
It's just a classification.. "Cute" is totally a compliment.
To explain this very simply, a unique word is one that's unusual or different in some way. It might have a complicated history or interesting connections to another language. But, primarily what makes an English word interesting is its unusual spelling, pronunciation or meaning.
"Cellar Door" One of the most famous theories comes from Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. Tolkien, who proposed in a 1955 speech that "cellar door" is the most beautiful word (or phrase) in the English language.
Alluring highly charming or attractive and able to arouse desire or hope. Amazing stunningly beautiful; possessing uniquely wonderful qualities; inspiring awe or admiration. Angelic heavenly; divine; pure; cute; radiant. Appealing attractive; interesting; inviting; charming.

Aging is a life-long experience that is both universal and different for everyone. While most of us agree that people of different generations have wisdom to offer those who are ahead of or behind them in life's journey, barriers to connection often persist between generations. Many of these barriers are rooted in our ideas about age and aging. Join independent scholars Jenny Sasser and Simeon Dreyfuss in an open discussion about how we experience aging in community.

LCSB meeting recap, community schools, reorg, contracts
Amanda Claire Curcio
Democrat staff writer
During a Leon County School Board meeting Tuesday, members gave go ahead to continue the south side community schools project, after previously expressing frustrations about being sidestepped in the process. Members also approved the reorganization of the board, a teacher salary agreement with Wakulla County and changes to construction orders.
Community schools update
The community schools panel received a unanimous blessing to continue with the proposed project that would transition the Old Wesson School, a public elementary school that closed in 2007 after merging with Bond Elementary, into a South City hub where students would receive quality instruction and, along with residents in the area, increased access to social services, such as vision, dental and health care and counseling services. The school would serve children from early childcare ages to second grade.
Community Schools initiative moves forward
City Commissioner Gil Ziffer, who leads the effort, told the School Board he could not move forward without their support.
"I don't know how long it will take," Ziffer said. "But I do know this. The kids can't wait.
"The sooner we can work together," he added, "well that's when the real groundwork begins."
In a community schools meeting held earlier this month, Ziffer told other panelists – a group of 30 officials from government, education, law enforcement, nonprofit and health-care agencies — to petition for funds from LCS, as well as the City Commission and the Leon County Commission, to hire a planner that would organize the partners necessary in bringing wraparound services to the new school.
School Board members voiced their concerns — mostly mirroring those shared by panelists during prior community school meetings, like boosting community engagement. Members, however, did not specifically respond to Ziffer's comments about hiring a planner, and deferred the decision, to be made at a later date, to Superintendent Jackie Pons, who has consistently affirmed his support for the project.
"You are trying to solve real problems," Pons said to Ziffer, following his presentation. "We are all in the business of wanting to help our community and helping our children.
"Anytime (LCS) can address these needs, we need to be at a partner at the table."
New reorganization
The School Board unanimously elected DeeDee Rasmussen to lead the School Board as Chair and as the Florida School Boards Association Legislative Committee district liaison.
The following reorganization was also approved: Joy Bowen, Vice Chair and alternate FSBA Legislative Committee liaison; Maggie Lewis-Butler, City Commission liaison; and Alva Striplin, County Commission liaison.
Teacher salary agreement with Wakulla County
The School Board renewed an agreement between Lively Technical Center, which is run by LCS, and the Wakulla County School Board that creates a transfer program for out-of-county students.
Described as a "win-win" by both Lively Principal Vernea Randolph and Wakulla County School Superintendent Robert Pearce, the contract permits students in Wakulla County — enrolled in automotive, welding and TV production courses in their zoned schools — to continue earning credits at Lively needed for a vocational degree after their high school graduations.
"Leon County has stepped across a line to help our kids down here," Pearce said.
Under the agreement, Wakulla pays the entire salary of a TV production teacher, whose salary cannot exceed $76,000. LCS also provides two automotive and welding teachers to Wakulla, which in turn, pays 50 percent of those contracts, capped at $82,000 each.
Randolph is pushing to extend a similar agreement to additional neighboring counties, particularly Gadsden County.
"If we can enhance the existing opportunities at Gadsden that would be an excellent option for students there," she said.
Votes on contracts and construction
The School Board awarded a handful of smaller contracts to several companies to prepare for upcoming projects throughout the district.
Ardaman and Associates will complete geo-technical engineering and materials testing, for $5,384, a preface to the gymnasium project at Ghazvini Learning Center.
Rosenbaum Engineering will conduct an estimated $8,534 structural analysis on an elevated walkway Rickards High School that needs to be repaired.
The board renewed several contracts with companies to conduct consulting and construction management services for projects less than $500,000. Three projects, totaling an estimated $750,000, are expected to fall in that category this school year, but not have been selected yet, Jim Connell, chief of facilities and construction for LCS.
Architectural consulting contracts were renewed with: Clemons Rutherford & Associates; Barnett Fronczak Barlowe Architects; Hoy and Stark Architects; MLD Architects; and EMO Architects; and for construction management services: Rippee Construction; RAM Construction and Development; CSI Contracting; Albritton-Williams; Allstate Construction; and Advon Corporation were approved.
Three change orders totaled a savings of $68,408, resulting from tax exemptions that were applied during the purchase of construction materials. These change orders came from projects at DeSoto Trail and Ruediger elementary schools.

Winter sports possibilities
Picture taken by Astin Ramos last year at bowling tryouts.
With most Winter sports being played indoors and the flu season around the corner, lots of people are questioning whether high school sports will be able to make it through the whole season, or if it's even safe to begin the season. While lots of student-athletes are optimistic about the 2020-2021 Winter season, there have been talks about the start date being delayed to January 15th. As of right now, all they can do is practice as if there will be a season. All teams at PHS have put in their best efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19.
"We have been wearing masks during practice throughout this year to try our best not to spread anything to anyone and their families," said sophomore basketball player Lance Bassett, who was also a member of the football team this fall.
Some teams might even have to adjust their practice schedule that way there are not too many people in the same place at the same time
"We will have to do a couple of lifting sessions throughout the day so that all of our lifters can lift without having too many people in the gym at once," said junior powerlifter Kaia Cordill.
Since the Wyandotte County health officials don't allow school sports to be played in the county due to COVID concerns, no games or meets can be held at PHS, including basketball, which has effects on the dance team as well.
"It definitely sucks, basketball is a really big sport for dance teams, because they typically do have so many home games, so we dance a lot during basketball season," said junior Olivia Golden who is on the dance team. Also with court warming and that pep rally, it all just flows together, so them not having home games really affects us because we don't get to dance at all when normally we'd be dancing every other week."
Last basketball season, the first cancelation of high school sports in Kansas due to COVID took place in the State basketball tournament. The boys' basketball team was looking to win their second straight state title when all games were canceled and not rescheduled.
"I really wished we would have finished our season last year because I have all the confidence in the world that we were going to go back to back and win state again," said Bassett
If Winter sports do get canceled due to COVID, one thing is for certain, this will have a big negative impact on these student-athletes.
"If the season gets canceled, everyone involved would be affected, as each season is an opportunity and a gift to play to try not only to just win a state championship but for most to get a scholarship to a college," said Bassett.

This cannot be a German Europe…
The fight about Greece's bailout deal that is taking place within the Eurozone and the EU is not just about the sums of money that Greece may or may not get, and the reforms that it may or may not implement in return. There is a deeper fight about the nature of the European project and even the soul of Europe that cannot be ignored.

European demos in the making, through laughter and screams
Starting from the recent Tsipras – Rajoy war of words, on who sabotages whom at the Eurogroup and in electoral politics, I attempt to put together evidence that shows a major shift in European politics. Building also on an increasing number of satirical videos about European politics, and from my personal experience, I reach an anecdotal, not so scientific but most probably correct conclusion: We are getting a European demos, in which we all feel comfortable enough and are knowledgeable enough about each other to be able to make jokes, break the ice, get on each other's nerves occasionally, but basically express what we increasingly realize that we are: a diverse, noisy, funny, stubborn, intrusive and generous section of humanity that one could call "the Europeans".
ISIS ante portas, and behind…
The recent beheading of Egyptian Copts working in Libya by ISIS and the subsequent air bombardment by the Egyptian air force of ISIS installations in Libya show how close the war and ISIS have come to Europe. If Syria and Iraq are considered still far from the EU heartland, Libya is only a few hundred nautical miles away from the coasts of Italy, Malta and Greece. This is too close for comfort. What can Europe do to address these emerging threats that are getting closer and closer to its soil? What it can certainly not afford to do is stay idle and wait. In this article I suggest a few measures that should at least be considered by the European leaders and the EU Institutions. One may think that such measures would move the EU closer to integration in defence and security matters, and that would probably be right, but that should not constitute a reason for panicking. On the contrary, one should start to worry about the future of a Europe facing determined enemies that stays fragmented and expects the US and others to do the heavy lifting for its security.
Orban welcomes Putin on EU soil
Politics, Analysis
President Putin's visit to Budapest on 17 February has raised eyebrows externally and provoked protests within Hungary. Many Hungarians feel that their country is drifting to the East, while its present and future lies with the West. Prime Minister Orban does have some valid points for explaining his association with Mr. Putin. What is more worrisome in the long-run is the authoritarian affinities between the two.
Letters from America (II): Unite to thrive
The EU central institutions seem to be stuck to what 19th Century Europe identified as "mission civilisatrice", fuelled by an underlying sense of self-righteousness and superiority vis-à-vis others, while individual member states continue to pursue their narrow but concrete geopolitical and economic interests, which go in different directions. It should come as no surprise that EU members are steadily losing ground on the charts of state power and influence in the world, overtaken by more dynamic, emerging powers. Of course, with its ambition, innovation and flexibility the US remains steadily at the top, as would the EU as a whole, should it become really united.
Letters from America (I): Where the sky is the limit
In this first "letter from America" I make a series of critical comparisons between New York and Brussels in an attempt to distil the best of both worlds, and hopefully infuse what is missing from one to the other. For Europe, which is the focus of this publication, this would mean less parochialism and more ambition for the future at individual and collective levels; more client orientation and more flexibility in employment conditions, while keeping an overall guaranteed social safety net that is the jewel of the "European model"; more openness to other cultures and influences, notably those from other EU countries but also beyond; much more openness towards and investment in new ideas, innovation and creativity; and an overall more optimistic attitude and can-do spirit…
The #EUGreenDeal must be much more ambitiously financed, incorporate planetary boundaries, and break with the narro… https://t.co/T7C6eEgOubyesterday

Henrietta crash: Lisa 'didn't even drink'
Meaghan M. McDermott
@meagmc
Drunk driving was a factor in a Saturday night crash in Henrietta that left a 51-year-old mom dead and her 15-year-old daughter injured, said Monroe County Sheriff's deputies.
Lisa R. Welk, 51, a longtime volunteer with the Rush-Henrietta Central School District, died around 11:15 p.m. in a two-car crash at the intersection of Calkins Road and Hylan Drive.
According to police, Welk was driving her 2008 Toyota Rav4 eastbound on Calkins Road when she was struck by a 2013 Ford Focus driven westbound by Amanda M. Hunt, 25 of Rush.
Hunt was charged Sunday with aggravated vehicular homicide and driving while intoxicated, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. She was arraigned before Town of Henrietta Judge Steven Donsky. Hunt was remanded to the Monroe County Jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or $50,000 bond.
Police said a witness told them a vehicle matching the description of Hunt's car was speeding down Calkins Road just prior to the crash, and that the vehicle had been passing other westbound traffic by crossing over a double yellow line and heading into oncoming traffic.
Emergency responders found Welk's 15-year-old-daughter, Shawna Smith, unconscious in the back seat of the Rav4. She regained consciousness at the scene and was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital.
"Lisa was such a great person," said Gates Police Chief James VanBrederode. His wife Laurie VanBrederode grew up with Welk in Henrietta and Welk was maid of honor at the couple's wedding. Just two weeks ago, the families went to New York City together, where they visited Broadway and the 9/11 Memorial and went to a Yankees game. "You know, she'd come over to my house, and it would get to be about 9 o'clock and she'd say, 'come on Shawna, we've got to go home before the drunks come out. That was her classic line, 'we've got to get home before the drunks come out.'"
Hunt, whose birthday was Saturday, was also found unconscious in her vehicle by first responders. She treated Sunday and released from Strong Memorial Hospital.
Shawna Smith was also discharged from the hospital on Sunday.
"This is so frustrating," said VanBrederode. He said Welk was a devoted wife to her husband Gary Smith, a loving mom to Shawna and his wife's best friend. The two women called each other every day. "It's crazy. This is so preventable, but people don't seem to get the message and everyone thinks it isn't going to happen to them, it just happens to everyone else. I think back to all the hundreds of people I've arrested for DWI, especially working midnights, and yet it still comes knocking on your door...it doesn't discriminate."
Rush-Henrietta schools spokesman Travis Anderson said Welk was active in several school and district activities, including volunteer work on a district instructional space committee.
"She was passionate about her family and community," Anderson said in a prepared statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this extremely difficult time."
VanBrederode called the crash "an all-American tragedy. This was truly one of those people just out there living her normal life. And, Lisa didn't even drink. Life is so cruel sometimes."

dc.description.abstract Aspects of the biology of Paranephrops planifrons White in Lake Rotoiti were studied and comparisons made with P. planifrons inhabiting neighbouring Lakes Okataina and Rotorua. Two migrations upwards occurred, in spring and summer, the first thought to be associated with temperature and egg-hatching, the second due to hypolimnetic deoxygenation. Hence in late summer and early autumn crayfish were concentrated above and within the thermocline. Movement downwards occurred in early winter, after lake turnover and this was thought to be associated with gonad maturation, induced by low temperatures and shorter photoperiod. During winter crayfish distributed evenly over the lake floor. There were two breeding seasons, in late autumn and winter (the larger of the two) and late spring and summer. Lake Okataina P. planifrons bred annually, during late autumn and winter, and showed no apparent seasonal movement patterns. Moulting occurred during the warmer months. Average densities of 0.030, 0.014 and 0.003 adult crayfish/m. ² were calculated for Lakes Rotoiti, Okataina and Rotorua respectively. In these populations a broad inverse relationship was found between density and mean population size, for individual sizes were small in Wright's Bay, Rotoiti compared to those in Lakes Okataina and Rotorua and other parts of Rotoiti. Sizes of males and females were not significantly different and mean size was constant throughout all depths. Sex ratios of 1.9:1 and 2.3:1 in favour of males were found in Lakes Rotoiti and Okataina respectively. Stomach content analyses revealed that the diet was mainly detritus, but also included animal remains and vascular plant material. Sediment analyses showed that food quality was essentially the same at all depths. Feeding was continuous at depths greater than 20m. but in shallower water it took place only at night. It appeared that P. planifrons does not display homing and the home range is extensive. Observations revealed that territorial behaviour occurred and males were not dominant over females, although larger crayfish were dominant over smaller animals.

Q: python html scraping whith BeautifulSoup separately i am trying to scrape from this html part, the 2,768 and 25,000 separately:
 Company
2,768
 69
25,000
7

with this python code:
def get_posts():
    global Comp_Name
    Comp_Name=""
    plain_text = r.text
    soup = BeautifulSoup(plain_text, "html.parser")
    for link in soup.findAll('td',{'class': 'alignCenter'}):

        title = link.string
        if title != None :
            list_of_titles.append(title)

Unfortunately, he returns the two values together,
I would be happy to assist you so that each numer will be separatel
10x

A: To get these two numbers, you could use this script:
data = ''' Company
2,768
 69
25,000
7
'''

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup(data, 'html.parser')

numbers = [t.get_text(strip=True) for t in soup.select('.alignCenter')]
print(numbers[0])
print(numbers[2])

Prints:
2,768
25,000

A: Based on html supplied you might be able to use nth-of-type. Though accessing twice seems less efficient than just indexing into list of both.
soup.select_one('td.alignCenter:nth-of-type(2)').text

and
soup.select_one('td.alignCenter:nth-of-type(3)').text

The nth-of-type indices came from testing with jsoup on your html and adding in surrounding table tags. Your mileage may vary but the principle is the same.

After two months of higher than expected gains, job growth for the month of July slowed a bit, with 157,000 jobs added to the economy, according to the most recent report released this morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's less than the 190,000 jobs economists had predicted for the month.
Unemployment fell from 4 percent to 3.9 percent, signaling that overall the market is still in good standing for job-seekers of all levels to find employment. But Bankrate.com senior economic analyst Mark Hamrick warns that while unemployment is still at a low, slow wage growth continues to be a major concern. In July, average hourly wages rose just 7 cents, keeping year-over-year gain the same at 2.7 percent.
"Right now, of paramount importance is wage growth," he tells CNBC Make It. "It is sort of the 'What have you done for me lately?' scenario that employees are asking employers and the market."
Aside from wages, Hamrick says a major concern for economists have is the impact increased tariffs and rising interest rates could have on business owners and loan borrowers today. Below, he breaks down how the July's jobs report can impact you and your employer, and why now might be the best time for job-seekers without a degree to find a job.
Hamrick points out that some of the industries that are doing the most hiring right now are those that focus more on the skills of an employee rather than their educational background. This means that job-seekers without a degree have an increased chance of finding employment in today's market.
"They are the so-called 'skilled jobs' that involve manufacturing or a construction trade where people need to be trained, but they don't need a degree in something like economics," he says.
In July, 37,000 manufacturing jobs were added to the economy and 19,000 construction jobs were added.
Data shows that overall job-seekers 25 years and older without a college degree or a high school diploma have seen a decrease in unemployment over the past few years. In June, unemployment was 5.5 percent for workers without a high school diploma, a drastic decrease from 8.5 percent in September 2016, The Wall Street Journal reports.
But regardless of whether you're a professional with a college degree or without, Hamrick says you still need to know how to stand out in today's market, and emphasizes the need to show off your skills.
"Soft skills are often overlooked in the sense of how one prepares for employment," he says. "But you should show that you have the ability to have a constructive conversation with others if its a customer-facing job. And you should show that you're able to show up to work on time and do all the things that many people consider to be along the lines of someone who is a productive adult."
Recently, President Trump told top trade officials to consider bumping proposed tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods to 25 percent from 10 percent, which Hamrick says will impact the bottom line of a lot of businesses.
"There is no doubt that the tariffs issue is creating stress and uncertainty for businesses, and its impossible for business owners to escape that," he explained.
Economist Jim O'Neill told CNBC's "Worldwide Exchange" in June that even leaders and employees at some of today's top companies, like Apple, could be impacted by these tariffs.
"I often say to people that America's most iconic modern company, Apple, has for three years sold more iPhones to Greater China than it has to the U.S.," said O'Neill. "So ultimately, if the U.S. genuinely takes this kind of belligerent stance, it's going to be the U.S.' best-growing companies that will suffer."
Interest rates are currently expected to increase twice before the end of the year, which Hamrick says means that borrowers should take some necessary steps now to prepare their wallets.
"Interest rates have been rising for a few years now and it is expected to keep rising," he says. "So for borrowers it has never been more pressing to pay off or down debt, and at the top of the list is credit cards."
He says that home equity loans, car loans and personal loans should also be paid down as much as possible. He also advises homeowners with mortgage loans to reevaluate their loan type to ensure that they won't be affected by rate changes.
"If there is someone who still has an adjustable rate mortgage and think they will be in their home for the next several years they should look to refinance into a fixed rate mortgage, which is still around 4.8 percent," he says.

At the beginning of my residency, I felt on top of the world. It was as though I was seeing everything for the first time. EVERYTHING was exciting. Then things took a sudden shift. Reality set in quickly that I, K Chandler Rosemont RN, will have to care for patients under MY license, without a preceptor there to guide me. There is a different level of stress related to this. Something I never felt as a nursing student. THIS is the time when I shape the type of nurse I will be for the rest of my life…and I want to be an incredible nurse!
Given the aforementioned, it should not be a surprise that I began feeling anxious in my shifts. I started second guessing tasks that I had once found "easy." Stupid mistakes were made or nearly made. A task as easy as grabbing a med from a patient's cassette made my heart race. What was this feeling? Why did it pop up out of nowhere? How can I move forward?
After what I would consider an anxious shift, I went home and reflected on what I would do differently. Instead of freaking out about this negative feeling, I decided to accept it. I am going through this "growing pain" for a reason. For the first time, I am a real nurse. As scary as this is, it is also exciting!
Heading into my next shift after this acceptance, I blasted my favorite rally songs: "Come On Eileen" and "Mr. Blue Sky." I was ready to rock my next shift as best as I could, knowing mistakes will be made as I am still learning!
Once I accepted that these feelings were normal and beneficial to my nursing development, I found my anxiety decreasing and nursing care improving.
Some may go through this feeling in nursing school, others years into their career. Either way, I want you to know it is normal! Find a way to use these unsettled feelings to improve your nursing practice. Learn from your experiences and reflect on how you could be better. Resisting them may make your anxiety worsen!
In the end, it's okay to not feel okay.
