Stratfor: 'Rwandans are cold ass mofos'
The email excerpted within included an ungrammatical apostrophe in "mofo's" which I corrected to "mofos." The mofos that Stratfor's Bayless Parsley refers to are members of Rwandan President Paul Kagame's government, military and intelligence services, not ordinary Rwandan citizens suffering under his dictatorship. For those unfamiliar with the events he recounts, I've included explanation and elaboration in italics.
Will US policymakers review 'Rwanda's Untold Story' before sending in the...
"Rwanda's Untold Story," a controversial BBC documentary first aired in the U.K. on Oct. 1, undermines the rationale for military action against the FDLR fighters in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo's North Kivu Provinces. The FDLR has been described as the militia that committed the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, but the documentary suggests that no one was more responsible than Rwanda's President Paul Kagame himself.
Africa's betrayal by African leaders
Africa's elite and the elite internationally have concluded the African Development Bank's 50th anniversary celebrations and annual meeting under the theme: "The Next 50 Years: The Africa We Want." Over 3,500 delegates, seven African heads of state, the governor of the Central Bank of China and the U.S. deputy secretary of treasury were among the dignitaries. Beneath the confident calm, Africa is on edge, and the participants in Kigali were aware.
U.S. deploying troops to 35 African countries
Soldiers will begin training in March 2013 in order to prepare for a project that will send troops to as many as 35 African nations. Citing a growing threat from extremist groups, including those with ties to al-Qaeda, the Department of Defense is hoping to install American soldiers overseas in order to prepare local troops there for any future crises as tensions escalate.
Benghazi attack: Libya's Green Resistance did it … and NATO powers...
The NATO powers and the bureaucrats they installed in Libya want you to think that all 5.6 million Libyans are happy that NATO and its proxy terrorists destroyed Libya, a country which under Qaddafi had the highest standard of living in Africa. They want you to think that there is no Green Resistance to the NATO imperialists or NATO's Islamist allies in Benghazi. Because of this denial, the internet is filled with blind guesses regarding the Benghazi incident Sept. 11 in which U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and at least three other American personnel were killed.
Haiti: Annul the elections
This "run-off" presidential election, scheduled for March 20, helps to explain the re-emergence of Jean-Claude (Baby Doc) Duvalier, since both candidates, Mirlande Manigat and Michel Martelly, have links to the Duvalier past. Manigat's husband is said to have advised Duvalier to create the dreaded tonton macoutes. And Martelly, who was himself a tonton macoute in his youth, has pledged to make Duvalier one of his advisers. Join the Haiti Action Committee for "Seven Years after the Coup in Haiti: Democracy at the Crossroads" at Humanist Hall, 390 27th St., Oakland, on Tuesday, March 1, 7 p.m.
Protesters clash with police following rain in Haiti
About one inch of rain fell on the capital of Port au Prince early this morning sparking angry protests that tied up traffic near the airport for nearly four hours. Police held the march back as a short scuffle broke out with angry protesters demanding tents, food, water and the return of former President Aristide.
How the U.S. impoverished Haiti
The horrific disaster that befell Haiti Jan. 12 may have killed hundreds of thousands. According to the media, Haiti's weak infrastructure and poor quality of construction account for the large number of deaths. Left to their own efforts, however, Haitians would have been more than able to build a reliable democracy with adequate infrastructure. But they have never been allowed to do so.
The blood pours: UN soldiers shoot at Haitian mourners outside church...
Today, June 18, U.N. soldiers gunned down Haitian mourners outside the church, Port au Prince Cathedral in Haiti, the largest church in the country, during the funeral for Father Gerard Jean Juste. But undeterred by U.N. guns, Haitians continue to run towards the darkness, using their bodies, breath and soul to light the world – liberty or death! Famous Haitian artist Zap Zap has been reported arbitrarily detained, arrested and transported to an unknown location.
The rebirth of Konbit in Haiti
Dec. 16, was the 18th anniversary of Haiti's first free and democratic elections that gave rise to the Lavalas movement which catapulted Aristide into the presidency in 1990. Thousands of Haitians took to the streets.

Cincinnati, Ohio-based RDI operates four lines of business composed of contact center outsourcing, managed IT services, market research and analytics, and digital marketing. The company plans to invest over $500,000 to expand into the new Indiana location. RDI Connect will establish its new 11,000-square-foot contact center at 531 N Central Ave. in Connersville. The facility is slated to become operational in September, 2020.
"We are excited to add Connersville as our next community partner," said Matt Dowd, senior vice president of contact center operations. "We believe in this community and are looking forward to a long lasting relationship. Special thanks to the Connersville Economic Development Group and the state of Indiana for working so closely with us during our search."

Marine Corp to Replace Pistol Arsenal with New Sig Sauer MHS
by Arms Industries May 19, 2018 August 16, 2018 0371
The Corps plans to purchase 35,000 MHS at $180 a pop, which could begin as early as October, according to the budget document.
If the Marine Corps' budget request for the coming year is approved, it will begin replacing nearly its entire stock of handguns with the Army's newest pistol.
The Modular Handgun System, a weapon system that includes both the M17 and M18 handguns, holster and two 21-round magazines and one 17-round magazine, was first fielded by the Army's 101st Airborne Division soldiers late last year. The Army chose the Sig Sauer 9mm pistol in January 2017 over Glock and other competitors.
First reported by Soldier Systems, the procurement states the reason for acquiring the handgun as it will be "more affordable and efficient pistol for maintenance. The MHS also provides modularity and greater shooter ergonomics over the current models."
The Corps plans to purchase 35,000 pistols at $180 a pop, which could begin as early as October, according to the budget document.
Marine Corps Systems Command declined to comment on the requested purchase.
The modularity includes three different handgrips that can be swapped by the user or an armorer. The system also has a built-in rail and slide mount for a sighting system, both of which require modifications for the M9.
The Sig is the first new service wide handgun to be fielded by the Army in more than 30 years, when the M9 Beretta handgun took the place of the 1911A1 .45 caliber handgun that had served since World War I.
It won the 10-year, $580 million contract to build at least 200,000 handguns for the Army. The Navy has previously announced it would acquire 61,000 of the M18s and the Air Force said it would buy 130,000 MHS systems.
The M17 version is the standard sized 9mm pistol and the M18 is a compact version, typically used by military police, criminal investigators or other duties that might need a concealed option.
The Marines bought the Glock 9mm last year for fielding in such positions, dubbing it the M007. The MHS procurement would replace the Glock, M9 and the 1911 variants in the arsenal for all but select units such as the Marine Special Operations Command Raiders.
The Defense Department budget estimate has requested $28.3 million for its "Family of Infantry Weapons Systems" to add or replace certain weapons.

CNN defends its source of misleading mass-shooting data from SAF's criticism
In a story published Sunday, CNN was forced to prop up the long debunked Gun Violence Archive – the Washington D.C.-based nonprofit that provides the cable network and other anti-gun groups with sensational, misleading and inaccurate mass-shooting data.
The CNN story states that the Supreme Court Justices who dissented in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, INC. vs Bruen, cited data from the Gun Violence Archive, or GVA, which falsely claimed there have been 277 mass shootings since the beginning of 2022 – an average of one mass shooting per day.
"The dissent was just the latest example of the growing influence of the Gun Violence Archive, a tiny nonprofit that has for less than a decade attempted to log every single incident of gun violence in the US in real time," CNN wrote. "The organization has been cited by the Supreme Court, policymakers and media outlets like CNN primarily for its ongoing tally of mass shootings, which it defines as any incident in which four people are shot, excluding the shooter."
Mark Bryant, the GVA's executive director, told CNN he is noticing the phrase "according to Gun Violence Archive" cited more frequently in news stories, which Bryant sees as an affirmation of his group's efforts.
An error of omission
It is not until later in the story – much later – that CNN mentions the misleading definition the GVA uses to define a mass shooting, which the Second Amendment Foundation first exposed.
"When most Americans hear the term 'mass shooting,' they picture a crazed gunman stalking the halls of a school or a shopping mall, coldly and randomly executing innocent young victims," CNN wrote, quoting from the Second Amendment Foundation's July 2021 story. "What does not come to mind are rival drug crews shooting it out in Chicago or Detroit, or a madman murdering his entire family."
Bryant told the cable network that he views the Second Amendment Foundation's criticisms as "irrelevant."
"My answer on that is, the same number of people are shot whether you call it a 'mass shooting' or whether you call it a 'shooting that four people or more were shot,'" Bryant told CNN. "But they just don't like when the (term) 'mass shooting' is used, some don't like that."
Misleading definition
Not included in the CNN story was a full explanation of the vast differences between the GVA's definition of a mass shooting and how the FBI categorizes the crime, or the massive discrepancies the two definitions produce.
For example, according to Bryant's all-inclusive definition, there were 417 mass shootings in 2019. The FBI says there were 30, because it uses a much narrower and more realistic definition.
According to their report titled: "Active Shooter Incidents in the United States in 2020," the FBI defines active shootings as:
Shootings in public places
Shootings occurring at more than one location
Shootings where the shooter's actions were not the result of another criminal act
Shootings resulting in a mass killing
Shootings indicating apparent spontaneity by the shooter
Shootings where the shooter appeared to methodically search for potential victims
Shootings that appeared focused on injury to people, not buildings or objects
Shootings were excluded from the FBI's list if they were the result of:
Drug violence
Contained residential or domestic disputes
Controlled barricade/hostage situations
Crossfire as a byproduct of another ongoing criminal act
An action that appeared not to have put other people in peril
By comparison, the Gun Violence Archive excludes nothing, even if the shooting is gang or drug related – the two main causes of most violence in the country today.
Last year, when we asked Bryant if he believed that the average news consumer even considers domestic violence or gang warfare when they hear the term mass shooting, Bryant said:
"I don't know. I know what we want to do is provide numbers and let the journalists, advocates and 'congress critters' look at the data, glean details and drill down on it."
CNN's story says the GVA is looking for a "permanent funding source" since their lone donor is in his 80s. They're also seeking a potential replacement should Bryant, who is 67, decide to retire.
That's the real reason for CNN's story. The network cannot afford to lose the sensational, click-bait headlines GVA's stories produce. Besides, the GVA is also used by anti-gun politicians, gun prohibitionists and other media outlets to infringe upon our rights. Keep in mind they cite GVA's fake data as proof our rights need some infringing. That's the real danger of GVA's misleading data.
Now, when ill-informed Supreme Court Justices parrot GVA's gibberish, that danger grows exponentially.

When Phoebe's perfect world collapses, she must choose between blind love or harsh truth.
Phoebe has loved Jake Pierce since childhood and that love continues without hesitation while she watches him create a financial dynasty. But when Phoebe learns that her husband's triumphs are the result of an elaborate Ponzi scheme, her world unravels. Lies underpin her life and marriage. And as Jake's crime is uncovered, the world obsesses over her: Did she know her gilded life was fabricated by fraud? Did she partner with her husband to hustle billions from pensioners, charities, and CEOs? Was she his accomplice in stealing from their friends and neighbors? In the aftermath of Jake's deception, Phoebe faces an unbearable choice: if she remains at his side, her children refuse to see her, but abandoning the man she loves feels impossible.


Imagine a world where all cars are white, all pizzas are plain cheese, only Justin Bieber plays on the radio, and your workout is the same…every – single – day. If that sounds like one of your nightmares, you're not alone. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
We admit, sometimes an abundance of choice can be overwhelming. Veggie pizza, hawaiian, or the all-meat extravaganza? Red car, black car, or that blue color that sometimes looks purple depending on the lighting? However, we can probably all agree that all Justin Bieber, ALL the time, would be a form of torture. And, who wouldn't get bored repeating the same workout day in and day out? Which leads us to ask, why are you limiting yourself to that same protein shake all the time?
Whip up a sweet treat that packs a protein punch, like these 9Round Protein Peanut Butter Cups!
Mix together until sticky (at first it will seem like it won't want to mix) and press into paper cupcake liners in a muffin pan, filling each halfway.
Melt on low and whisk until smooth. Drizzle a small amount on each cup and place entire muffin pan in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Store in fridge until ready to eat for up to a week.
Ditch your breakfast smoothie and serve up protein-packed flapjacks that the whole family will enjoy!
Mix all ingredients together. Add water, if you choose (depending on the consistency you desire for pancake batter) Use non-stick spray on pan or griddle and pour batter onto pan/skillet for several pancakes. Top off pancakes with drizzle of sugar free syrup and cinnamon (optional) or sugar free chocolate chips! These are great on the go. Just warm them up in microwave and eat plain when you're in a pinch!
French Toast more your style? Check out this version using 9Round Vanilla Ice Cream Protein!
Whether you just completed a tough workout before heading home, or ran straight from a busy day at the office to baseball practice, having a scoop of protein mixed with water is great calorie-saving, quick-fix to keep you from snacking all the way up until dinner is on the table.
While we realize it's not exactly practical to tote around the entire bottle of 9Round Protein, we like to be prepared for these situations by measuring out single scoop portions into snack-size Ziploc bags and stowing them away in places like our desk drawers, purse, glove compartment, gym bag, etc. Add your scoop of protein to some water to help satiate that hunger and keep you from consuming an abundance of extra calories.
The recipes above, and more, can be found in the 9Round Member Portal (access to the online portal is included with your 9Round membership.) If you aren't a member, see how 9Round makes fitness fun and stop in for your FREE 30-minute workout!
9Round Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream flavored protein is available for purchase online and in your local 9Round.

Upscale London is waging war on towers as new apartments and nursery are stranded
By Christine Davidson
The plans for huge towers above London's leafy Kingston neighborhood have infuriated local residents.
Plans to raze a crèche on Cromwell Road and replace it with a seven-story apartment building, including a new nursery and community center, was pushed back by city council due to a lack of affordable housing.
Residents also said the building's ladder would block their view, create "a serious sense of oppression" and invade their privacy.
Previously, the council's plans for huge new towers that would overlook the leafy part of London were leaked by a Tory adviser.
The footage was leaked on Twitter by local Conservative council leader Kevin Davis, who said Kingston had "enough" of taller buildings in the city center.

But the council fought back, saying the footage had not been shared with the public because those are not the plans it wants to deliver.
Opposing plans for the Cromwell Road nursery, a resident told the Kingston council planning committee on Wednesday evening: "The height of the building and the mass of the development do not suit the urban context, creating a sense of oppression severe for neighboring properties. "
The resident added: "With the proposed height and development, the large number of apartments facing our kitchen, living space, bedrooms and gardens, especially on the north side of the street, deprives us of access to the sky. ."
Developer Aroch Limited said in the planning documents: "This is a great opportunity to regenerate this 'lackluster' city center site that has been intended for redevelopment and in doing so improve the local environment by integrating it more effectively into its environment.
"This proposal is for a residential development incorporating an improved nursery school including flexible and fully accessible community space and will create the highest quality residential units by all current / new standards, in this extremely accessible and sustainable location – taking care of respect the approval of its neighbors. "
Only 13 apartments would be affordable (21%) in the now deferred plans.

Liberal Democrat Councilor Olly Wehring said: "I am extremely disappointed with the number of affordable three-bed units in this request.
"I strongly urge the applicant to consider sacrificing some of the affordable one-bed units, or maybe even the middle two-bed units to give us more three-bed units, as this is where the absolute need for housing is. affordable is.
"I am very disappointed with the numbers here and also with the low percentage of the total building."
Kevin Davis, the leader of the Conservative opposition group, had previously said: "I think we have reached the point where we have enough taller buildings in the city center.
"I don't sense the public's appetite for more and I want us to protect the best that we haven't wasted our heritage on the altar of tall buildings."

Remake and Reboot
March 30, 2011 Glen McNamee 0 Comments activsion, C64glen, call of duty, classic games, Crystal-Dynamics, Hollywood reboot, Hollywood remake, Medal of Honor, modern warfair, nintendo, obsolete gamer, playstation, retro gaming, tomb raider, ubisoft, video game reboots, video game remakes, will
Hollywood is going through a phase at the moment. The "reboot" of films such as Batman Begins, or the remake of titles including "The Taking of Pelham 123", demonstrates a lack of original ideas and voices. And the games industry seems to be following suit, relying on summer blockbusters and sequels as much as the cinema.
Prince of Persia is a good example. Jordan Mechner's classic had already undergone an ill-advised leap into 3D before Ubi Soft's Sands of Time rebooted the story and added the amazing time rewinding feature. The two sequels added little, even with a Wii remake of the Two Thrones giving motion control. And so it was rebooted again, adding a controversial new game mechanic and dividing opinion.
Tomb Raider has also had its share of remaking and rebooting, with Legend and the 10th Anniversary editions. By handing the series over to Crystal Dynamics, Legend got closer to a true 3D world and Anniversary revisited the old locations with new polish.
The Wii is also seeing several of these new "interpretations", as evidenced by Klonoa. The original game of the series appeared nearly ten years ago on the original Playstation, and was a 2.5D platformer with the player's movement controlled along set paths. Fast forward and the graphical makeover is very good (the dreadful Americanised character voices less so), but the movement restrictions remain. The old-school game mechanics may feel uncomfortable to the new audience drawn to Wii, but there is a real challenge in there.
Other titles such as Resident Evil Files have had little done to improve them for the new hardware. The Play Control range has featured some gems brought up to date with Wii controls – Pikmin, for example – but Nintendo would be advised to cherry-pick the best titles to update.
Perhaps the most successful reboot has to be Call of Duty. Arriving first on PC, the console-specific versions (Big Red One) were followed by the unusual idea of two developers alternating work on the franchise. But the biggest surprise was waiting for Call of Duty 4. The subtitle Modern Warfare gave it all away – the franchise moved from its World War II setting (and its competitors Medal of Honour and Brothers In Arms) to the present day. However, despite plans to call the 2009 sequel Modern Warfare 2, Activision has gone back and put the Call of Duty tag in front to avoid losing sales.
So rebooting is not all bad news. In the end it would be nice to be swamped with new and original ideas every time we looked at the shelves in our local game store, but the companies cannot be blamed for the fact that the familiar titles (and gameplay styles) will sell more.

Empirics of Strategic Interdependence:…
Empirics of Strategic Interdependence: The Case of the Racial Tipping Point
Issue Date June 2009
The Schelling model of a "tipping point" in racial segregation, in which whites flee a neighborhood once a threshold of nonwhites is reached, is a canonical model of strategic interdependence. The idea of "tipping" explaining segregation is widely accepted in the academic literature and popular media. I use census tract data for metropolitan areas of the US from 1970 to 2000 to test the predictions of the Schelling model and find that this particular model of strategic interaction largely fails the tests. There is more "white flight" out of neighborhoods with a high initial share of whites than out of more racially mixed neighborhoods

Obviously this is a bigger problem in the bigger states, but still an interesting article about private schools that gives few answers to the problems.

You can't make a similar statement about any three private schools in North Dakota. If you could, I'd be open to the same type of discussion about change as they are having in Colorado, but you can't. You can't even make a similar statement about any single private high school in North Dakota.
This is certainly not an attack on you Flip. I agree this is an interesting article, but I'm trying to be proactive in my response before a lot of posters who are more concerned with their own personal agenda than the best interests of North Dakota High School Athletics get on here and take this a negative direction.
We have public schools, private schools, parochial schools, art and science centered private schools... why not a private Sports Specialty School?
A good school emphasizing academics but with a stated goal of maximizing a kids ability in specific sports? A school geared to Football and Basketball? Known for top coaching and facilities and emphasizing the specific sports they want?
Why not? Bring in Pro coaches, trainers and motivators for one on one and small group workshops, lectures and teaching on a short term basis? Bring in top college coaches and recruiters specifically to help prepare the kids to do better in their chosen sport?
We do it for Chemistry, Computer, Science and FFA, why not for sports?
Those attending could easily point to a career path as agents, reps, trainers, coaches and the like. Gear the program to a multi billion dollar industry much like many schools do with their emphasis on particlular academic or vocational training.
Who would they compete against?
I can already think of at least a couple schools who seem to already do quite a bit of recruiting here in North Dakota.
Alot of Private Schools are affiliated with Religion..Right?.......in fact maybe every one in ND is.......Religions are also known for Recruiting and Recouping, Right? so don't be surprised please .......Its simply part of being a Free Country.

Amen winner! I'm not surprised at all, I was just stating that it happens in ND as well as every where else.
which private school in noth dakota recuits? please include school and who was recruited and school that kid previously went to.
mags wrote: which private school in noth dakota recuits? please include school and name of kid who was recruited and school that kid previously went to.
please. i am really interested in this. i can think of none. just cuz private schools are good a lot doesnt mean they recruit. is it that every team that competes every year recruits? or just private schools. Hazen in football? Velva in football and baseball? north star in basketball? Napoleon in almost everything? linton in almost everything? Watford city competes in football and basketball every year? Harvey in football? Casselton in basically everything? i can go on and on about schools that have good programs and compete every year. does it mean they recruit? no they have great programs and great coaches. same goes for private schools. they build programs with good coaching. NOT RECRUITING.
This topic has been talked to death and I have weighed in on it a couple of times. I am going to weigh in one more, (hopefully last) time.
First off - I really don't care anymore about Private schools being in Class B.
3rd. They do have an undeniable advantage that 90% of the rest of Class B teams don't - NOW - I'm not saying it is an unfair advantage - Just an advantage. This is the point that Does kind of ruffle my feathers as no Private school backer will ever admit this even though it is an unmistakeable fact of logic. That is the only thing that upsets me - just admit it - I don't care that you do have an advantage - just admit it. I repeat - I don't think it's unfair - its just what it is - you can't do anything about it - it just is.
You live in a city that has at least 1000 (or in most cases) or more HS students. You may only have 70-200 of those students in your school - that is fine - but you have a possibility of 1000 or more total students of which to draw from (Notice I didn't say choose - because I don't believe that is the case).
TO make my point. I live in Region 6 - I mostly watch Region 6 teams. With that being said - if All the schools in District 11 combined their enrollment in one town (not one school), let's say Bottineau - they would have a HS population of about 1200 students (Generous). If there were two or even three HS in Bottineau with 2 of those being Class B and one being Class A - At least one of those Class B schools would have a very good sports program even if it only had 100-200 HS students. WHY?
Because those student-athletes have the resources of those other student-athletes in their Town to draw from. They can all compete against each other in the off-season at the Local Y or at the local field or what have you. They will get better through competition against each other and themselves as they only have to travel a few blocks to find great competition in the off-season instead of 30-100 miles to find like competetion like most Class B schools would have to do. They get better because they have the resources and the peer influences (and enough of them) to push them to get better. It is still up to those students and their coaches to push themselves or each other to do this - which the Trinity's, Ryans, Oak Groves, etc. do. That's why I don't think it is an unfair advantage as they still have to put in the work - but it is still an advantage. They know - no matter how big their enrollment is, that they have to work to get better to be able to play or someone else will do it for them and get ahead of them. In small schools in Class B - they don't have that extra motivation as much. It is an advantage simply because it is.
AGAIN - I don't think its unfair - I'm not whining, complaining or anything of the like. I would just like to hear ONCE that a private school backer would admit that it is an advantage. Most private school programs in ND have excellent coaching and kids that work their tails off to be competetive - If they didn't they wouldn't be as successful, but they would still have a better opportunity over other B schools to reach success because of the resources available to them.
Think of it this way. Why doesn't Angola dominate in Men's Olympic B-Ball as Compared to the US? THey have athletes just like we do - they have knowledgeable coaches just like we do - they put their work in during the off-season and season just like the US team - so why are they not more competetive?
Because they don't have the resources or the type of competition that is available to the US athletes - on a very small scale - the avg Class B school is like that compared to the average CLass B private school. Is it unfair? - NO - it just is what it is because of the situation in which they happen to live in.
Conclusion - same as 1st statement - Private schools have an advantage because of where they are located - they still have to - as individual students - take advantage of that advantage - and many do -which is why they are usually at the top of each region year in and year out. Not unfair - just the way it is.
If you actually read this whole post, I applaud you - as I got a little bored with it myself as I was writing it.
Thanks for your time - hope it wasn't a waste.
BB11, I am a private school backer. And I have also said before that this is an advantage. You really can't deny it. But, like you said they still have to put in the work. Using basketball as an example, they are on traveling teams a lot when they are young and go around the state and play other class A teams. This competition makes them better. In baseball, they get to play legion baseball in the summers against all the class A towns. This higher level competition makes them better. Even the competition on their own team makes them better.

And I thank you You're exactly right - higher competition level - the better you have to get if you don't want to be embarrassed - most Class B's don't have that option - at least in the off-season.
I agree too... Central Cass kids have the opportunity to play against MN kids and Class A kids from the time they are in grade school playing travel basketball, JO volleyball, FM football, etc. Yes, they have to put in the work, but they are good, in part, because they compete against good competition on a regular basis.
If you think about it though, many Class B schools are near a bigger city. Example: small schools near Bismarck, Grand Forks, or Minot. So many of these kids should have an opportunity to play other quality competition.
Shiloh Christian? Three Native American starters from Fort Berthold on boys team at state tournament? Red Flag?
To be fair, only two transferred there, at least recently. Bearstail has been there since at least his frehsmen year, probably before that.
I can't say if they recruit or not, but I'm guessing its no. Probably more like 2 kids deciding to go there since they are successful and wanted to go to state.
They had three outstanding boys transfer in that did not go to elementary school in Shiloh Christian. Do you really think that is just a coincidence. And its not because they wanted to play on a good team, they were leaving good teams. And a few years before that Shiloh had a center from Century that transferred into Shiloh. Give any school in the state 3 or 4 starters transfer in and they would have a nice program.
When people say private schools recruit who are they suggesting is doing the recruiting?

Lambert left a school that went to state the year before but most the talent graduated. Mandaree was awful so I won't give you Yellow Wolf and like I said, Bearstail has been there since at least his freshmen year. He didn't even get playing time on varsity til he was a junior. He improved a lot when he was older and developed into a very good shooter. When he was younger, I wouldn't think he was expected to be that good.
I'm not saying I like seeing all the transfers, but I highly doubt the school has anything to do with it. What I want to know is what do you really think is happening?
does it have anything to do with getting students in to a better school and town environment and away from some less than ideal conditions? and if they can be successful in sports great.
Colorado's proposed plan got shot down.
Legislation would bar public schools from belonging to Louisiana High School Athletic Association.
this is such a joke IMO.

[ January 29, 2023 ] 4-year-old walks into DC hospital with gunshot wound, police say United States
HomeHealth & YouGNN HEALTH TIP – High blood pressure: Eat bananas, avocado and salmon to counter effects of salt – study
GNN HEALTH TIP – High blood pressure: Eat bananas, avocado and salmon to counter effects of salt – study
July 23, 2022 Joel Cholo Brooks Health & You, Other News 0
High blood pressure is a silent condition that sets the stage for grave cardiac events like stroke and heart attack. It is estimated to affect over a quarter of adults in the UK, putting millions in harm's way. Fortunately, the consumption of certain foods may substantially lower these risks, a new study has confirmed.
The new findings, published in the journal of the European Society of Cardiology, have suggested that women who eat bananas, avocados and salmon can reduce the negative effects of salt in the diet.
Although bananas are touted as one of the top sources of potassium, other good sources include apricots, prunes, orange juices, squash and potatoes.
Study author Professor Liffert Vogt of Amsterdam University Medical Centres, in the Netherlands, said: "Health advice has focused on limiting salt intake but this is difficult to achieve when our diets include processed foods.
"Potassium helps the body excrete more sodium in the urine. In our study, dietary potassium was linked with the greatest health gains in women."
For the study of more than 24,000 patients, aged around 59 years old, volunteers were asked to fill out questionnaires assessing lifestyle habits.
Blood pressure was thereafter measured and blood samples were collected to help estimate dietary intake of sodium and potassium.

4-year-old walks into DC hospital with gunshot wound, police say


Our mission is: through the creation and management of resources and physical environments and working in partnership and cooperation with other community organizations, ensure an adequate balance of opportunities within the Kitsilano Community, for people, individually and collectively, to participate in a wide variety of recreation activities which satisfy basic needs and aid in improving the quality of community life.
Historically, leisure and recreation have been linked with work and activity. Leisure was viewed as time free from work. Recreation was any activity which helped you recuperate from work or provide you with satisfactions not available through work.
Presently, leisure and recreation are defined, not in terms of time and activity, but as the feeling one experiences as the result of an activity. As such, it is not the activity (recreation) or the time it happens (leisure) which is important. It is what happens to the people involved in the activity. The activity is the medium, not the message. Recreation is now defined as an emotional condition within an individual that results from a feeling of self-worth and satisfaction. It can be characterized by feelings of achievement, excitement, acceptance, mastery, success, personal worth and pleasure. Recreation reinforces a positive self-image and can result from achieving personal goals, responding to esthetic experiences or positive feedback from others. Recreation is independent of activity, programs or social acceptance.
Defined as such, recreation promotes individual need fulfillment and personal development by increasing understanding and awareness. It stimulates appreciation, encourages self-discovery and enlarges one's source of enjoyment. It helps give meaning to live. Thus, recreation aids in the development of the individual and individuals interacting together help improve the quality of human and community life. Therefore, the primary purpose of any public leisure service system is individual and community development through leisure and recreation experiences; the product is self-satisfaction and quality of community life.
Improved Self-esteem-We believe that the strongest people in our groups, neighbourhoods and community are those who believe in themselves and have a healthy self image. Kitsilano programs are structured to help people develop their own self esteem.
Strengthened Interpersonal Relations-People working and playing together, in a caring and sharing way is important in helping members understand the dynamics of relationships and to develop listening and communication skills is an important part of all our programs.
Increased Personal Growth-At Kitsilano, we encourage members and groups to set their own goals and work toward them. They grow in whatever way they choose. They grow by doing and they direct that doing themselves.
Specific Skills Development-Many specific skills can be developed in Kitsilano programs. They may be related to fitness, sports, dance, music, crafts or outdoor activities. Although skill development is not the sole objective of our programs, they are important as they improve self esteem, aid in personal growth and contribute toward self satisfaction.
Clarification of Personal Values-Kitsilano members spend time making value decisions. They reflect upon the consequence of value choices and work toward closing the gap between stated values and actual behavior.
Increased Leadership Capacity-At Kitsilano, leadership is seen as a skill rather than a position. The ability of each member to function as a leader is encouraged, taught, practiced and celebrated.
Increased Leisure Resource Knowledge-We believe that people and communities have the capacity for being their own best resource for leisure. At Kitsilano we encourage people and groups to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to do what they want, when they want, with whom they want, without help.
Expanded Appreciation of Diversity-At Kitsilano we encourage dialogue and interaction between people and groups who might not otherwise attempt to communicate and play together. Our goal is appreciation of each others differences, of diverse religious and ethnic cultures, and a richer, more vibrant and diverse community.
Increased Volunteer Opportunities-Many people gain personal satisfaction and enjoyment by helping, sharing and working with others in the community. At Kitsilano members have a variety of opportunities to learn, practice and share personal skills and by doing so, make their community a better place to live and play.
Fun and Laughter-Programs and actions are evaluated by the enjoyment and satisfaction each member feels. We feel that laughter is healing and contagious. Fun makes the other outcomes possible and continued involvement probable.

LightWave's Image Editor is far more than a simple location to load up images or sequences of images to apply to your models. Of course, you can use it for that, but you can also edit the attributes for those images directly in the Image Editor without altering the original file, and you can set image sequence start and end frames within it.
Although you can hit F6 to call up the Image Editor any time you like, sometimes it's nice to call it up with an image you are currently using, so that you can tweak for your particular needs. Any time that a window needs an image - particularly the Texture Editor - you will find an Edit Image button beneath the thumbnail of the image you've chosen.
The Image Editor has the ability to filter images from a list. This operation is live in the sense that as you type the filtering is carried out immediately. You can also choose to sort your image list in a variety of ways to best suit your needs (Alphabetical, Date, Type, Size, Bit Depth, etc.).
You can Collapse and Expand the Image Editor so that it takes up less screen real estate when you don't need it by clicking on the arrow that we've highlighted.
To load a new image or animation, or image sequence, press the Load button. To replace an image you've loaded, perhaps in error, press the Replace button. The Clone button is a drop down, because it has two different abilities. The first - Instance - copies the image, but allows you to work on with different settings in the Editing and Processing Tabs, almost as though it were a new image. Any changes you make to the Instance will not be reflected in the original image, however changes you make to the Original image will be reflected in all instances. If you are using an animation or an image sequence, any instances will have the same in and out points.The second - Duplicate - can only be used on image sequences and simply copies the images. Each is treated as a completely separate sequence and changes made to the original sequence will not affect a duplicated sequence.
To delete an image, image sequence or animation, simply select it in the list on the left-hand side of the window and hit the Del key on the keyboard. You can also do it by clicking the right mouse button over the image in the list that you wish to remove.
The image preview window acts as a reference for you to see the effects you are having on your pictures when using the editing or processing functions. All edits are carried out on this 24-bit preview so that they can be done as close to real-time as possible, rather than working on the full image, scaling it down to the preview size and redisplaying it. Double clicking on the preview image will open the Image Viewer containing the image or frame with all processing and editing done. A large image and a great number of operations to perform on it may cause a delay in opening the Image Viewer.
The three buttons under the Information Panel give you options on how frequently you wish the preview image to update when a change is made. Auto updates the image when any change is finished and the mouse button released. Real updates the preview image in real-time, while you are making changes and Man means that any image changes are only performed manually, by clicking the left mouse button on the preview image.
The Use Layout Time button and the slider underneath the preview image are intimately linked. If you are using an image sequence or an animation you can use this slider to scrub through it. Alternatively, click the Use Layout Time button and you can use Layout's own timeline to scrub through your animation.
The Image Type pop-up menu displays the type for the currently selected image. Generally, this setting is auto-detected when you load the file. However, you can specify a single image in a sequence of images by leaving its Image Type to Still and when you load a frame in a sequence that you want to use, don't forget to change the Image Type from Still to Sequence. Animation is used if you load an animation into the Image Editor and Reference is a clone of an image, as discussed above.
Memory - An image that only exists in memory without a file (this entry is not always visible). Visor creates images like these and the LightWave command IE_CreateImage does the same.
Ayslinn0001.flx, Ayslinn0002.flx, Ayslinn0003.flx and so on.
You can normally leave these at Default for the images to take on their assign color space settings, but if you wish to specify directly choices are available on a per-image basis including the ability to load a color space table.
If you are using images with embedded Alpha Channels, like some TIFFs, TGAs and Photoshop format images, you may wish to disable the Alpha Channel, otherwise, you may get unwanted effects since LightWave's OpenGL doesn't take embedded Alpha Channels into account. If you only wish to use the Alpha element of a picture, for a Transparency Map for instance, use the Alpha Only setting.
If you are using video grabs as still images, or a sequence, you may wish to use a field interlace. You have two choices, Even First or Odd First and which one you choose depends on your source material, but you will certainly know when you render if you've chosen the wrong one. If you are using images from almost any other source, you can leave Interlace to Off.
Mipmapping is an automated way of create image maps at varying resolutions optimized to suit the size of an object in a rendered image. In LightWave you can globally enable or disable mipmapping in Render Properties. Turning it on means that textures, especially ones with a lot of detail, will be better resized to suit the render. Turning it off usually means sharper texture images, but with an increased risk of "sizzling" during animation unless additional samples are used in Camera Properties.
Applies a dither to images. Normally this is not necessary.
Opens a window giving the metadata for the image, animation or sequence. If available, this will include EXIF data.
When you load a sequence of images, LightWave automatically tries to ascertain the way the sequence is numbered by comparing files.
Sequence Digits - You can override the number of digits used for a sequence if LightWave is getting confused.
Frame Rate - Frame Rate controls the incrementing of an image sequence with respect to the scene's Frame Per Second setting on Layout's General Options Tab of the Preferences Panel. So, if you set this to, say, 15 and your scene Frame Per Second is 30, the image sequence will increment every two frames.
First Frame and Last Frame - display which files (or frames for an animation file) are treated as an image sequence in LightWave. This is computed when you load an animation file or switch the Image Type pop-up menu to Sequence (after loading a single image from the sequence), but can be set manually. However, it's best not to use these fields to trim your animation to fit your needs. Instead use the In and Out points discussed next.
Start Frame - determines on which frame in Layout your sequence will start. Use the In and Out sliders to determine how much of your animation you want to play back in Layout. The Pre Behavior and Post Behavior drop down menus determine what Layout should do when an animation is not as long as the frame count in your scene.
You can independently adjust (and envelope) various image parameters for the selected image on the Editing Tab if you want the images altered before LightWave uses them.
These image operations do not affect the actual file on your hard drive, only the image used inside LightWave itself. If you wish to save your changes to an image, double click on the preview to open the Image Viewer and save the transformed image there in the format of your choice.
Access this tab to add image-processing filters. You may use any of the non-post-processing filters in the filter list. Ones that can only be used in the rendering process will inform you of the fact. Image filters added here will not update the preview window interactively unless the Animate Filters option is activated.


Do you hug your child for atleast 20 seconds, when your mind is totally still and all you can hear is your child's heartbeat next to yours and feel her gentle breath. I call them power hugs. A hug is therapeutic only if it is given for atleast 20 seconds. Its heartbreaking to see an old man cry in a healing session because his mother didn't hug him enough when he was growing up. That's what cellular healing is - letting go of all our hurt, resentment, anger, loneliness, sadness piling up in our cells since the day we are born and maybe even before. Many a times, I have supported business breakthroughs just by taking the person I am serving through an emotional healing process, walking through the winding path of childhood along with her. Only 3 power hugs a day - as soon as your child wakes up, when you first see her after school and before going to sleep; having her experience your unconditional love and acceptance so totally and absolutely. Just this small act done in conscious awareness can heal the world. Love, Jyoti.

Die Polar Honduras war ein 1979 von der Flender-Werft in Lübeck abgeliefertes Kühlschiff, das von der Hamburg-Südamerikanischen Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft Eggert & Amsinck in Auftrag gegeben wurde. Das Schwesterschiff Polar Costa Rica mit weitgehend gleichen Daten wurde von der Flender Werft im gleichen Jahr abgeliefert.

Geschichte
Die Polar Honduras wurde für die Hamburg-Südamerikanische Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft Eggert & Amsinck in Hamburg gebaut, vom 14. bis zum 16. Dezember 1978 in der Ostsee erprobt und anschließend an die Reederei übergeben. Sie hatte eine Kühlraumkapazität von 524.161 ft³ und wurde in verschiedenen Fahrtgebieten in der Frucht- und Tiefkühlfahrt eingesetzt.

1984 wurde sie in Edinburgh Universal umbenannt, hieß ab Januar 1989 Caspian Universal, ab Dezember 1984 Caspian und ab September 2005 wieder Polar Honduras. Ab 2005 fuhr sie als Crystal Orchid und wurde am 22. August 2009 in Alang zum Abwracken auf den Strand gesetzt.

Schiffsbeschreibung
Die Bodenkonstruktion und das 1. Deck der Polar Honduras wurden nach dem Längsspantensystem und die Außenhaut sowie Zwischendecks nach dem Querspantensystem ausgeführt. Die Außenhaut, Zwischendecks und Querschotten wurden mit Mineralwolle isoliert. Das Brückenhaus befand sich mittschiffs und sechs wasserdichte Querschotten unterteilten das Schiff in Vorpiek, Laderaum 1 und 2, Maschinenraum, Laderaum 3 und 4 sowie Achterpiek. Das Schiff hatte vier Luken und vier Decks. Die Tragfähigkeit betrug 10.875 tdw.

Das Schiff war für den Palettentransport eingerichtet und hatte in den Laderäumen 4.700 m² Palettenstellfläche. Für den Ladungsumschlag standen je vier 2 ×2 m große Seitenpforten an der Backbord- und Steuerbordseite zur Verfügung. Das Ladegeschirr bestand aus konventionellen Ladebäumen mit 5 t Hebekapazität.

Antrieb und Stromversorgung
Der Antrieb des Festpropellers mit vier Flügeln erfolgte durch einen umsteuerbaren, langsamlaufenden Zweitaktmotor vom Typ MAN K 7 SZ 78 155 A mit 11.900 kW Leistung bei 122/min. Über eine Fernsteuerautomatik konnte der Motor auch von der Brücke gefahren werden. Bei der Geschwindigkeit von 19 kn betrug der tägliche Brennstoffverbrauch 41,5 t Schweröl.

Zur Stromerzeugung waren zwei MaK-Dieselgeneratoren vom Typ 8 M 331 SK32 mit 1.000 kW bei 720/min und zwei MaK-Dieselgeneratoren vom Typ 6 M 331 SK32 mit 755 kW bei 720/min installiert. Als Notstromaggregat war ein KHD-Dieselmotor vom Typ F 6 L 412 R mit 83 kW eingebaut.

Kühlwassersysteme
Zur Kühlung waren Seewasser- und Frischwassersysteme vorhanden. Das Seekühlwassersystem diente zur Rückkühlung der Frischwasserkreisläufe des Hauptmotors, der Dieselgeneratoren, der Luftverdichter und der Ladungskühlanlage. Dafür waren zwei Hauptseekühlwasserpumpen mit 1050 m³/h und 2,5 bar Nenndruck installiert. Zur Motorkühlung dienten insgesamt vier Frischkühlwasserkreisläufe, ein Niedrigtemperatursystem, ein Kühlwassersystem für die Zylinder-, Deckel-, Kolben- und Abgasturboladerkühlung, ein System für die Kolbenkühlung und ein System für die Düsenkühlung. Als Kühlwasserpumpen wurden Kreiselpumpen eingesetzt. Die Rückkühlung mit Seewasser erfolgte in Plattenkühlern.

Dampferzeugung
Im Hafen- und Revierbetrieb erfolgte die Dampferzeugung mit einem ölgefeuerten Hilfskessel von Aalborg, der als Wasserrohrkessel mit einer Nennleistung von 1500 kg/h bei 8 bar ausgeführt war. Als Abgaskessel im Seebetrieb diente ein Aalborg-Rauchrohrkessel mit 1800 kg/h bei 7 bar für 90 % der Hauptmotor-Nennleistung. Der Dampf wurde zur Schmieröl- und Schwerölvorwärmung bei der Reinigung in den Separatoren benötigt. Außerdem wurde der Dampf zur Bunkerheizung, zur Schwerölendvorwärmung und zur Warmwasserbereitung und Raumheizung eingesetzt.

Ruderanlage
Als Ruderanlage war eine Tauchkolberudermaschine mit vier Zylindern vom Typ Hatlapa Teleram R 4 V 420 mit einem Ruderschaftmoment von 40 t eingebaut. Sie wurde von der Brücke über eine Weg- oder Zeitsteuerung bedient. Außerdem war eine Selbststeuereinrichtung vorhanden. Die Ruderlage wurde auf der Brücke im Maschinenfahrpult, in jeder Brückennock, im Brückenpult und an der Brückendecke angezeigt.

Ladungskühlanlage
Das Schiff war in acht Kühlzonen unterteilt. Jede Kühlzone ging über zwei Decks und konnte eine andere Temperatur fahren. Sie hatte dafür eine eigene unabhängige Ladungskühlanlage, die sich in den vorderen und hinteren Deckshäusern befanden. Jede Ladungskühlanlage bestand aus zwei bis vier Schraubenverdichtern, den seewassergekühlten Kondensatoren zur Verflüssigung des Kältemittels und den Verdampfern zur Luftkühlung. Die Schraubenverdichter wurden über Keilriemen von E-Motoren mit einer Leistung von 38 bzw. 41 kW angetrieben. Die Anzahl der Verdichter war auf die Größe der Kühlzone abgestimmt. Die Verdampfer zur Abkühlung der Luft waren mit elektrischen Heizstäben ausgestattet, die zum Abtauen zeitabhängig ein- und ausgeschaltet wurden.

Die Luftkühlung arbeitete nach dem Robsonprinzip, dabei erfolgte die Luftführung von unten nach oben, d. h. die Lüfter in den Verdampferräumen sogen die Luft oben aus dem Laderaum ab und drückten die Luft durch den Verdampfer, in dem die Ladungswärme an das verdampfende Kältemittel abgegeben wurde. Die Grätinge von jedem Laderaum waren in drei Zonen aufgeteilt. Die erste Zone erhielt die unter den Grätingen in Schiffslängsrichtung fließende Kühlluft direkt aus dem Luftkühlerraum. Die zweite und dritte Zone wurde backbord- und steuerbordseitig über zwei seitliche Kanäle versorgt. Die Kühlluft strömte von beiden Schiffseiten in Richtung Mitte des Schiffs und durch Löcher in den Grätingen durch die Kühlladung vertikal nach oben.

Als Laderaumlüfter wurden Axiallüfter mit verstellbaren Flügeln eingesetzt. Mit der Flügelverstellung wurden die entsprechenden Luftwechselraten zwischen dem 25- und 83fachen Luftwechsel bezogen auf den leeren Laderaum eingestellt. Es konnte bei Bedarf für atmende Fruchtladung je nach dem gemessenen CO2-Gehalt eine bis zu dreifache Frischluftzufuhr erfolgen. Dazu waren in den Luftkühlerräumen saugseitig entsprechend Klappen vorhanden. Auf der Druckseite des Lüfters befand sich ein Druckkanal und mit einer Regelklappe konnte die gewünschte Frischluftmenge eingestellt werden. Die CO2-Messung erfolgte im Maschinenkontrollraum.

Sicherheitssysteme
Die Feuerlöschanlage bestand aus zwei elektrisch angetriebenen Kreiselpumpen mit je 80 m³/h Volumenstrom bei einem Nenndruck von 7 bar. Die bei Ausfall der elektrischen Stromversorgung über die Notschalttafel elektrisch angetriebenen Notfeuerlöschpumpe hatte ein Volumenstrom von 40 m³/h bei einem Nenndruck von 7 bar. Für Maschinenraum, Werkstätten, Lagerräume und Maschinenkontrollraum sowie die Laderäume wurde außerdem ein CO2-Feuerlöschsystem installiert. Für den Notfall hatte das Schiff zwei Motorrettungsboote für 40 Personen.

Sonstiges
Die 30-köpfige Besatzung war in klimatisierten Einzelkammern untergebracht, die jeweils mit einem Duschbad und Kühlschrank ausgestattet waren. Das Schiff war mit zwei kombinierten Anker- und automatischen Mooringwinden ausgerüstet, die über ein Getriebe außerdem einen Spillkopf antreiben konnten. Für die Große-Seen-Fahrt war das Schiff außerdem mit einem Heckanker ausgerüstet. Am Brückenhaus war ein Kran mit einer Kapazität von 5 t zur Übernahme von Proviant und Maschinenteilen vorhanden.

A newly designed microchip can identify the optimal medication and dosage for effective treatment.
We rely on antibiotics to treat bacterial infections, but the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria forces doctors and patients to contend with shifting treatment plans. Furthermore, current laboratory tests to determine what bacteria is causing a particular infection takes days to complete and, in cases of serious infection, the results are often too late for the patient.
Mechanical engineers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology recently developed a microchip antibiotic testing platform that takes only six to seven hours to determine the appropriate medication.
"Trying to figure what drug to use at what dosage, in the fastest time possible, is key in successfully treating bacterial infections," said Jessie Jeon, an author on the paper.
Clinicians often treat life-threatening infections with a cocktail of antibiotics, hoping that one of the antibiotics will stop the bacterial infection. However, blanket-prescribing antibiotics contributes to the rise in bacterial resistance.
"Figuring out the effect of different combinations of drugs in a simple manner is likely to have a big impact on health," said Jeon. She explained that her team's speedy microfluidic system was the first for which combinatorial treatments had been tested.
The speed and success of the Korean team's new antibiotic susceptibility testing system is due to two key innovative design features.
The first feature was developing an antibiotic dosage range, crucial for calculating the minimum inhibitory dosage that prevents bacterial growth. By continually pumping antibiotics through the half-millimeter-wide channels in the microchip, the team establishes a dosage range through microchip within 30 minutes. A critical time saver, the dosage range enabled the team to determine the minimum inhibitory dosage within a single test.
The second feature was using a convenient method to quantify bacterial growth within the microchip. Images were taken of the agar-encased bacteria and the difference in color between areas of agar at a higher antibiotic concentration, where no bacteria grew (which were dark), and the more reflective white regions, where bacterial colonies grew more easily, was quantified on a position-specific grayscale.
Alignment of the five antibiotics tested in this new system with the clinical gold standard measurements suggests that the microchip system is sensitive enough for clinical application, Jeon added.
"We can see that our assembly works pretty robustly with a single drug, and have also shown it can work with two drugs; now we want to further optimize the application to combinatorial drugs," said Jeon.
