Another autumn is well underway which means that Black Friday (November 23rd) and Cyber Monday (November 26th) are just around the corner.
1. Define your budget – Tempting as it is to start making a wish list as you browse your favourite sites, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are about snagging bargains without damaging your bank balance. It doesn't take long to set your budget and see how much you can afford. This way you also avoid the trap of overspending.
2. Make lists – Making a list of what you need to buy and what you want to buy makes life easier when you get caught up in the excitement of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. You might not know the prices yet but having a list will keep you focused and limit the risk of impulse buys that you might regret, as well as reducing the amount of time you could have to waste navigating return policies. Split your list into two: items you definitely want or need and those you'll buy if you have any money to spare later in the day. To add a surprise element to the experience, why not add a set amount to your budget for a single impulse buy?
3. Set up store accounts and fill your carts online – It's always good to be prepared in life, especially when a huge discount code is coming in and the best items are sold out within minutes. To avoid that, sign up with potential merchants, insert your personal information and have your carts ready. If your top deal comes in, you're instantly ready to insert the voucher and press the button.
4. Keep personal profiles up to date – If you have accounts with online retailers, check if your personal profile, delivery address, and billing details are up to date. Wasting time at the checkout might mean you lose a great bargain before you can check out. And, be sure you know your username and password for all of the sites you'll be shopping from.
5. Compare prices upfront – When you know what you want and you know roughly where you can get it, compare prices. You can use the idealo price comparison widget here (scroll down a bit on the group pages), go on idealo.co.uk itself, or check out older hotukdeals offers to find tips and the best prices.
6. Stock up on gift cards – To really benefit from Black Friday bargains at your favourite online stores, consider purchasing gift cards and combine them with offers, vouchers, and price errors. Take a look at the Gift Cards-pages here to be ahead of all the deals before and during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
7. Follow your favourite retailer for the best deals – Set aside some time to visit all of your favourite websites and sign up for their email newsletters, as well as following them on social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Many retailers reward their followers with exclusive bargains, great discounts, competitions and useful shopping tips, plus you can share this information with the community on hotukdeals and earn some appreciation from the crowd.
9. Bookmark the Black Friday/Cyber Monday pages and set Keyword Alerts on hotukdeals – You're almost ready to go. Last but not least, and in order that you don't miss any of the deals, bookmark the special Black Friday and Cyber Monday event pages at hotukdeals where all of the deals are collected and merchants have their specific shopping event pages. Plus, if you set a hotukdeals Keyword Alert for your favourite product, you'll get a notification via email or browser every time a deal pops up. To set the alert on mobile/desktop, go to "Settings" > "Keyword Alerts" > "New Keyword" > insert "PS4" or alike and a minimum temperature. In the app you'll find the function under "Inbox" > "Manage Alerts" >"Add a new keyword".
10. Use your credit card for larger purchases for maximum safety – All credit cards issued in the UK have to offer a money back guarantee if something you buy is faulty, you don't get satisfaction from the retailer, or if a business folds before you receive your goods. To benefit from this protection be sure to use your credit card rather than a debit card when making purchases between £100 and £30,000.
What do you think of these hints and do you have more tips for the busiest shopping time of the year?
If buying from Amazon, use a price tracker website to see whether what you are buying is actually a bargain or not. Some discounts are not what they seem.
uk dot camelcamelcamel dot com is pretty good.
Only buy what you need and don't be tempted by offers on things you don't.
Have a list of items and stick to that list.
Kids will understand. You can buy them something cheap and explain why.
All that interest you'd be paying is robbing them of things, the only way to stop that is pay it off then they can have nice things, it also teaches them to live within their means, a lesson many young people don't understand.
How do I bookmark the black Friday page linked in number 9?
Just in your browser or there's also a banner on the hotukdeals homepage.

Q: how to toggle off an appended div I'm working on a communication project where the user can use emojis. The way I've executed it so far is to create a partial HTML document and append that in when they click.

now essentially what I'm trying to figure out is 2 things:

*

*how can I remove it (my guess is to change click to a toggle. The issue is that I append the HTML

*How can I make it so that when you click on anything but the div, it goes away

A: You may try the following :
1. how can I remove it (my guess is to change click to a toggle. The issue is that I append the HTML:
You can assign the server side generated html to a js variable and use a specific selector ( could be any attribute that makes it unique ) and use it for adding/removing the element.
var dynamicHTML = "Hello";

$('.chatbox-emoji-trigger').on("click",function() {
  if($(this).find('.hello').length === 0) // checks if the element exists
    $(this).append(dynamicHTML);  // if it doesn't , append it.
  else
     $(this).find('.hello').remove(); // else remove it
});

2. How can I make it so that when you click on anything but the div, it goes away
For this, you can delegate a click handler to the document and use the event property to determine if it was triggered from a specific element or not.
$(document).on("click",function(e) {
     if(e.target.id != "div1") // checks if the click was triggered outside the div
       $(this).find('.hello').hide(); // if so, hide it.
});

This season has seen some major changes to our Schools Championships with a tiered programme introduced to offer a greater choice of competitions for schools, aimed at ensuring that there is more appropriate competition for a wider range of schools.
The following Championships are running with a national entry system.
In recent years the Boys U18 Championships were in a knockout format and the Girls U18 Tier 1 competition will be this format in 2018-19 with a view to it moving the league format next season.
Over 100 Schools have entered the Investec Girls U18 Schools Tier 1 Championships. Teams play in three areas up to the quarter final stage when the draw will go open. Teams who lose in the Preliminary or Round 1 or Round 2 play in the Tier 2 Championships a parallel Plate competition.
You can see details of the areas and the draws in the National Champioships Fixtures & Results tab on the side bar to the left of this page.
The Investec Girls U16 Schools Tier 1 & Tier 2 Championships will follow the same format. You can see details of the areas and the draws in the National Champioships Fixtures & Results tab on the side bar to the left of this page.
In both of the Girls U18 & U16 Tier 1 Championships, for 2018-19 only, South schools are playing in the traditional County – Regional format and qualifiers will join at the latter stages of the competitions.
For Boys Schools who want to only play in the Easter term the Notts Sport Boys U18 Schools Tier 2 Championships will run, as in recent years, in a knockout format. Teams who lose in the Preliminary or Round 1 or Round 2 play in the Tier 3 Championships, a parallel Plate competition. New for 2018-19 the Notts Sport Boys U16 Schools Championships will run the same format.
Entry to the Boys Schools Championships closes on Friday 9 November. You can see details of teams who have entered each Championship to date here.
In both genders the U14 Tier Championships will run in the traditional County - Regional - National - format. IN 2018-19 Counties and Regions are also running Under 14 Tier 2 and Tier 3, Under 16 Tier 3 and Under 18 Tier 4 Championships.
Full details of the following Championships, where there is direct entry for schools, can now be viewed in this Information Pack.
The pack includes details of the format, entry dates, competition dates.
For details of the full range of Championships click here.
In 2016 and 2017 England Hockey consulted with clubs and schools about its annual programme of competitions. You can see more details of that consultation here and here.
One of the key messages we heard the most was the need to provide appropriate competition depending on a team's ability. This is particularly relevant to our schools competitions where currently all schools enter the same level of competition, whatever their level of hockey activity.
England Hockey has successfully introduced tiered Championships for clubs – adults, masters and juniors - in the 2017-18 season.
For 2018-19 we will introduce tiered Schools Championships. These Championships will provide different levels of competitive opportunities for schools. England Hockey will provide guidance on which Tier may suit which level of school team, however this can only be guidance, and within any Tier there may still be teams of variable experience and ability.
The competitions offer includes ones based on the existing County-Regional-National model, knockout competitions and, at U18 level, a two term league for high performing schools specialising in hockey.
The chance for high performing hockey schools to specialise at this age group. Participating schools to play each other in elite leagues with knockout stages leading to a grand final.
4 Area Premier Leagues of up to 8 teams per League. Top teams qualify for knockout stages & national final.
The excitement of a knockout competition leading to a final.
Early Round losers are entered for a Plate competition (this forms U18 Tier 3, U16 Tier 2).
Progression via different stages - one day round robin events - Local – Area – National rounds. Similar to existing U16 and U14 Schools Championships format.
Progression via three different stages - one day round robin events - Local – Area – National rounds. Similar to existing U16 and U14 Schools Championships format. A second Tier to offer more appropriate competition for less strong schools.
For Emerging Schools Progression via three different stages - one day round robin events - Local – Area – National rounds.
Local – Area – National round robin competitions. 7-a-side. Similar to existing Schools Champs format. National at U13 only.
Local – Area robin round competitions. 7-a-side. Similar to existing Schools Champs format.
1 - High Performing Schools. Specialise in hockey and qualify regularly for national finals of England Hockey age group competitions and challenge for titles. They regularly develop a number of players who play for England age group teams.
2 - Intermediate Schools. Traditional hockey playing schools which compete in existing County and Regional age group competitions and occasionally qualify for national stages. May develop players who plays for England age group teams.
3 - Emerging Schools. Schools who play some local hockey but which do not compete, or find it hard to compete, at existing County level age group competitions.


New exhaust mani option? | Mazdaspeeds.org, The New Era in Mazdaspeed, CX-7 & Ecoboost Forums!
Discussion in 'Mazdaspeed 3 General Discussion' started by stg_ms3, Feb 14, 2017.
Saw this on the BNR Facebook page today. Anybody heard of this company called go-autoworks before?
Apparently he's a buddy of Bryan. Looks good. I can't speak to it's ability to withstand cracking, but it's nice to have some more options.
I bit the bullet and decided to buy this manifold, mating it up to a Precision 5862. the turbo has a v-band flange and I didn't want to go with the cast CP-E manifold, and this one offers a v band flange, lets just hope its not a $750 paperweight.
Have you gotten the manifold yet? I'm looking at one as it seems to be a decent choice for my build (I'm looking for a T3) but I was hoping to get some insight from someone who has one.
Wonder how fitment is. Can you update us, @Emilio V. ?
V-band options are so superior in so many ways (turbine inlet and outlet). The turbos with them tend to cost less, they flow better, and there are usually a LOT more turbo options, too. All wins.
I'm curious as to the EWG design.. Hopefully it's efficient and doesn't creep like a Boost Junkyz.
Havent recieved the manifold yet, I ordered it on the 6th of this month and shot them and email yesterday but no word back yet, hopefully it'll be here in the next 2-3 weeks. I've got a build thread on my page and will be posting all updates onto there.
Any updates on this? Would love to know how the manifold ia holding up.
Turbo back exhaust installed! NICE!


You've probably heard me mention the submissions grinder website before, as that's where I found the majority of the magazines I've reviewed. It's an excellent tool for short story authors, as it will list magazines that are currently accepting submissions of a story's genre and length. Also, if you log your submissions there, it will filter out magazines that you've already submitted that story to.
The website also publishes a story each week or two, under the name diabolical plots. While I'm a big fan of the grinder, I can't say I'm a fan of the diabolical plots short stories. I read eight of them, giving only two three-star ratings, and no four or five-star ratings.
The Entropy of a Small Town (#31B) by Thomas Carpenter. A gay teen can trade his memories to fix things.
Strung (#31A) by Xinyi Wang. A young boy (or possibly girl, it was a bit confusing) can see red cords that lead between soulmates.
Typical Heroes (#30B) by Theo Kogod. 10% superhero story, 90% fast-food worker whining about his life.
For Now, Sideways (#30A) by A Merc Rustad. A vignette about a soldier right after a war ends.
The Shadow Over His Mouth (#29B) by Aidan Doyle. A food blogger ends up in a horror story. Told in the form of blog posts.
Monster of the Soup Cans (#29A) by Elizabeth Barron. There is a monster in the cupboard. That's about it.
Regarding the Robot Raccoons Attached to the Hull of My Ship (#28B) by Rachael Jones and Khaalidah Muhammad-Ali. One sister wants to drop a "terraforming nuke" on Mars. The other sister wants to stop her. If you like family drama, this is a pretty good one.
The Existentialist Men (#28A) by Gwendolyn Clare. The league of people with useless superpowers.
I like that useless superheroes idea. If there are mutants they won't all be super successful.
The useless powers in this story are too over-the-top to be explained by mutation. The only possible explanation would be a god/gods who enjoy mildly tormenting people.
You could have fun worldbuilding with powers that are useless for traditional superhero stuff but that people still figure out to make a living with. You have the power to kill vegetation? You'll make a killing in kudzu removal in the South.
It would be fun to do. Superpowers won't solve the problem, the willpower and mentality will. The powers could lend a hand during the process.


We're just as surprised as you are to learn of all the great classic rock artists -- including Queen -- who never won a Grammy Award.
Even in 2014, Queen remains one of the most beloved in the industry, and to be fair, they were nominated in 1976 for 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and again in 1980 for 'Another One Bites the Dust' -- they just didn't walk away with a gold gramophone -- which is stupid, but we're not on any kind of Grammys committee, unfortunately.
And we're still pretty convinced the use of their song in 'Wayne's World' should've earned them an Oscar nod for 'Best Song,' but we're not on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences committee either.

Nursing home legislation would put seniors' privacy, safety at risk | Opinion
Conwell Hooper, Executive Director of American Senior Alliance, wrote the following opinion piece for the Sun Sentinel.
Recent legislation filed by Florida Sen. Gary Farmer (SB 896) and Rep. Katie Edwards (HB 655) not only ignores nursing home residents' rights to privacy, but also poses a safety risk for these seniors, as well as the staff who care for them.
American Senior Alliance is a non-profit organization that stands up for America's seniors. One aspect we focus on is ensuring they receive the best possible long-term care in the most dignified manner. We believe strongly in protecting the rights and safety of our seniors. Unfortunately, these bills do nothing of the sort.
These lawmakers are suggesting that unannounced, "undercover" agents should be able to come into nursing centers anytime to assess the care that's being provided. How can we ensure that safety if nursing homes no longer have control over who is able to enter the building? Sadly, active shooter scenarios are a very real threat in our society today. What happens when someone decides to pose as one of these undercover agents, gains access to the building and brings real harm to the residents and staff?
Another proposal put forth by legislators: Requiring facilities to allow residents' families to monitor them electronically as a safeguard against abuse. Our seniors and their caregivers develop wonderful trusting partnerships. While we understand that families want to ensure that trust is preserved, we don't believe cameras are the solution. Cameras will capture residents in their most intimate moments – dressing, bathing, toileting to name a few. How do we ensure those who have access to that footage will not use it in a way that is degrading or undignified? How do we protect the rights of roommates who don't want to be captured on camera?
It's a very slippery slope trying to balance the privacy rights of residents, roommates, caregivers, visitors and families. There are many ethical and legal issues that must be addressed and considered, including an invasion of privacy. At the same time, we need to ensure our seniors are cared for in the safest and most dignified way.
Over the last 10 years, Florida has made significant strides to help achieve record results in providing extraordinary care for our older Americans. Those results have come because the care is more person-centered, with residents and families taking a more active role in how that care is planned out.
Farmer and Edwards need to take a closer look at the bills they're proposing and understand how they will water down the rights to privacy, an assurance of safety and a care delivery system that maintains seniors' dignity. What looks good on paper and works to grab headlines, we believe, in the end, will do a disservice and sends the wrong message to our elder population and those employees entrusted to their care.
Conwell Hooper is executive director of American Senior Alliance, a not-for-profit organization that advocates on behalf of America's greatest generation. He can be reached at conwell@americansenioralliance.com.


Drilling operations for Expedition 330 were concluded this morning. While the vessel is underway to Auckland, all lab groups are busy with describing the last core sections, analyzing shipboard samples and preparing their last site report.
The scientists spent today's transit day to catch up with thin section description and report writing. The series of U1376 Site Meetings was continued with presentations by the Igneous Petrology, Alteration Petrology, and Structural Geology lab groups.
After Site U1372 was abandoned the ship arrived at the new Site U1373 (approved alternate Site LOUI-6A) in the late afternoon. The first U1372 site meeting was held at noon and the Sedimentology and Paleontology lab groups presented the results of their shipboard investigations and analyses. Presentations from all other lab groups are about to follow in the next days. At midnight, the New Year was greeted by the traditional bell ringing ceremony on the ships bow.

By the time Baker was 21, he was already working in Vaudeville as magician and ventriloquist. Later he was performer at Coney Island as a Chautauqua & Lyceum headliner, where he also had a photo studio.
Al Baker was one of the greatest entertainers in magic and combined original effects with a natural sense of humor. His stage act consisted of the following: Cake in the hat, Card from the hat, dyeling silks, Knot in the silk, The Pack that cuts itself, thirty card trick, & torn and restored paper napkin.
Baker was an inventor of many tricks that he marketed including his Dictionary Test, Al Baker Slates and his version of the Rice bowls. Many of his silk magic effects were included in Rice's Encyclopedia of Silk Magic. One of his creations was the Purse Frame.
Baker opened a magic shop with Martin Sunshine in Times Square.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

" "We must never forget that the details of presentation are what make a trick. And study and thought brings us those details. If you have a trick you like but never do because of some weak or unnatural or illogical part, don't lay it aside—just begin thinking. What I mean is thinking about that part. You will be surprised how a brilliant idea will crop up and you will be surprised even more that you hadn't thought of it before. The usual trouble is that we don't bother to think long enough or hard enough" - "What Makes a Trick" by Al Baker, The Sphinx, Vol.40, No.1 (March 1941)."

NTCA sponsors CEFGA CareerExpo
The National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA), the world's largest tile contractor association, is sponsoring the World of Tile Pavilion at the Construction Education Foundation of Georgia (CEFGA) CareerExpo, taking place at the Georgia World Congress Center on March 12-13 in Atlanta, Ga.
CEFGA was founded in 1993 by construction leaders who recognized a need for quality construction skills training in Georgia. The CEFGA CareerExpo links students directly to professionals in the areas of construction, utility contracting, highway contracting, electrical contracting, mechanical contracting, energy, mining and more. The event features hands-on displays that allow students to engage with industry leaders, equipment and materials and tap into their unique skills and interests.
According to Rod Owen, president of NTCA Five-Star Contractor C. C. Owen Tile Company, Inc., the organization held its first career fair in 2005, but the tile trade wasn't represented until 2008 when Owen asked for a space in the expo.
C. C. Owen Tile, leading tile manufacturer Daltile, and installation materials supplier LATICRETE International will be co-sponsoring the Pavilion with NTCA. Together, the four entities are working to promote the ceramic tile industry as a leading career opportunity to consider for high school age students at the 2020 event.
Owen believes the CareerExpo is a great avenue to display the opportunities that are available in the tile industry, and is planning for an impact far beyond the day of the event. While he knows many students who come to the expo may use it as an excuse to get out of class, he hopes the experience will educate some of the students or their teachers about the opportunities available. "[After attending the expo], there might be that construction teacher that listened and understood the opportunities, and is now back in the classroom counseling students and advising them about their potential in our industry," Owen said.
NTCA Executive Director Bart Bettiga agreed the event is a good opportunity to expose students to the tile industry. "Helping to recruit the next generation of tile setters is a part of the NTCA mission," Bettiga explained. "High school students may not know yet what career path they want to take. If they haven't been exposed to the tile industry, they may not know what a lucrative career it can be and how many options it holds. At events like this, we can show students how they can become our future industry leaders."
The CEFGA CareerExpo also features the SkillsUSA state championships, a competition in which students showcase their skills in a number of construction-related disciplines. This CareerExo continues to grow each year and, in 2019, drew a record 8,615 attendees.
About NTCA
NTCA is a non-profit trade association serving every segment of the industry, spearheading education for the professional installation of ceramic tile, natural stone and allied products.

The 2019 US National Figure Skating Championships, held January 18th -27th is the culmination of the sport of Figure Skating and Ice Dancing in the United States. Featuring singles and pairs figure skating as well as ice dancing which is figure skating with elements of ballroom dancing. This year's Nationals made headlines for two reasons, well, more like two pairs of two reasons.
While Manta is the first female figure skater to come out during her career. She has been skating with partner, Joe Johnson, who is openly gay, since 2014. With Manta's coming out, they have become the first openly queer pairs team in figure skating. With their strength in diversity, the two brought a new style and flavor to the US National Figure Skating Championships. Figure Skating and Ice Dancing is a sport that is judged, not just on athletic ability, but artistic interpretation. However, the influence of social, aesthetic and culture can have an impact on scores as well and this has proven to be a struggle for Manta and Johnson in the past.
Since teaming up in 2014, they have tried to adopt more romance themes and other routines that are common for heterosexual figure skating pairs. After embracing their new identity off the ice, Manta and Johnson decided that this season needed a new identity on the ice. With the help of British choreographer Christopher Dean, Manta and Johnson put together a program that breaks the heteronormative molds of traditional figure skating.
Their new routine was choreographed to "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These" by Eurythmics with Manta adopting a new look to blur the lines of gender identity and better connect with the audience.
At the 2019 US National Figure Skating Championships, Manta and Johnson placed 7th in the final with a score of 55.16. Yet, they have achieved more in figure skating than can ever be defined by a podium, the future is bright for these two.
The win was especially sweet for Ashley Cain who suffered a concussion just 6 weeks prior, which put her and Leduc's participation in the National Championships into question. The accident happened during a previous competition in Croatia when Cain took a nasty fall during a free skate lift exit. Fortunately, she didn't have any other physical injuries other than the concussion. However, her recovery included a lot of work with a psychologist to overcome the growing anxiety of executing the same move in the program. Through visualization and mental rehearsal, she was able to overcome those struggles.
When the time came to execute the move Nationals, she landed the move smoothly and executed a technically clean free skate program. Helping her and LeDuc take home the gold medal.
The 2019 U.S. National Figure Skating Championships will certainly be remembered as an important moment for representation of queer athletes in figure skating as we move forward in making more opportunities for queer inclusion in sports.


So here we go, this is purely hypothetical (im not oracle in disguise!) but if we were to sell all our dead wood this summer how much would we raise, want honest thoughts on this guys, who do we sell and realistically how much would they go for? My thoughts: Just say we sell Soldado for £10m, Paulinho for £10m, Capoue for £6m, Kaboul for £4m, Chiriches for £6m, Lennon for £6m and Adebeyor for 2p, all hopeful amounts. Even if they go for less if we just got what we could for the lot we should end up with around £40mil, and the best part of 500k a week in wages saved. Now taking into consideration we desperately need a decent centre half we could get Reid from the spammers for free and offer him a decent wage, let Poch bring through a few more of our youngsters and with the remaining £40mil and £400k a week put that towards Gareth Bale if he is actually on his way back to England, after all the revenue from merchandise and sponsorship would soon cover the rest of the fee. I know at this point most of you are killing yourselves laughing but if Levy and co want to make us an attractive club to sell it wouldn't do any harm to have a name like that back along with Kane, Eriksen and Lloris. There is obviously no chance of this happening but it can't hurt to dream.
Was thinking the same, maybe add Lamela to that list too. Once Marca turn on a R Madrid player and President, as they have, then they are in trouble. I wonder if there was any clause in his contract about us having first refusal on Bale or him not being sold to another English club? Probably just a dream but you never know.
Reid signed a new 6 year contract with WHam didn't he?
A plan worthy of Hannibal Smith mwheels. Whatever it takes to get him back. As it used to be said, he was born to play for Spurs.


A warm welcome to our newly designed and rebuilt website.
With the huge increase in British 'stay at home' holidays and in self catering holiday lodges and log cabins in particular, it makes sense to advertise on a website that shows nothing else.

As a website that also displays holiday lodges from other booking agents, we would like to reassure you that our software has been programmed to always show our private clients at the top of the search results in a randomised listing above all affiliate lodges, guaranteeing all our private clients a turn at the top! On our home page we will also only feature lodges and log cabins advertised by our private clients, again in a randomised selection.
Full contact details, including a direct email facility and a link to your own website.
Full directions, plus the location of your lodge shown on a Google Map.
As many images as you wish, but we do recommend no more than twenty.

Iran accuses Israel over nuclear scientist's bomb death
Thursday January 12 2012, 12.01am, The Times
Iran accused Israel of waging a campaign of terror against it yesterday after a scientist associated with the country's nuclear programme was assassinated in Tehran.
Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, 32, a chemist and deputy director at the uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, was the fourth scientist killed in two years, apparently another victim of the covert war against Iran's efforts to build a nuclear bomb.
Witnesses reported seeing two men on a motorcycle pull alongside Mr Roshan's car in north Tehran and attach a magnetic bomb to the vehicle, which then detonated.
Mr Roshan was killed instantly. Another person in the car died later of his injuries. Iranian officials immediately blamed Israeli agents.
"The bomb was a magnetic device similar to those used in previous assassinations

Cyprus: Modernisation and openness urgently needed, Ports Authority says
in Port News 06/12/2021
The modernisation of internal procedures and the adoption of a more open approach were highlighted as urgent necessities in a report by the Cyprus Ports Authority released this week.
The report aims to provide a review of the authority's recently-appointed board of directors' first three months at the helm.
The Cyprus Ports Authority explained that it performs a particularly important and crucial task revolving around three key areas, namely the owner of the port and its facilities, the service provider, as well as the regulator and supervisor of the port.
"In a productive, modern, and fair spirit, and always for the benefit of the authority, we assure that with teamwork, cooperation, good mood and faith, we will promote the Cyprus Ports Authority through our work, diligence and further improvement of the work we produce," the authority said.
"With a full understanding of the current challenges we face and being aware of the international, European and national context in which we operate, we proceed to renew our vision," the authority added.
The authority also explained that it aims to cooperate with Cyprus' domestic port industry and government services with 'openness, transparency, discretion and always within the legal framework of our administrative action and the principles that govern good administration'.
The Cyprus Ports Authority also said that it is proceeding with its action plan, aiming to evolve into a modern organisation, with 'sound actions and investment programme for the benefit of the wider social port industry and in full alignment with the national strategy'.
Among the recent actions highlighted by the authority was its help during the efforts to suppress fires in Greece.
This included a campaign to collect goods and provisions to be sent to the fire-stricken in Greece.
In other maritime news, Deputy Minister of Shipping Vassilios Demetriades travelled to Athens on Thursday to attend a special event held by the Piraeus Port Authority.
At the event, Demetriades will present the new tender agreement for the ferry link between Cyprus and Greece.
During his visit, the deputy minister will also meet with various stakeholders of the shipping industry, as well as attend the Lloyd's List Greek Shipping Awards.
Following his visit to Athens, Demetriades will travel to London where he will participate at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) conference.
The conference will involve a vote on new inductees to the organisation, where Cyprus' is hoping to renew its member status.
On December 8, Demetriades will travel to Brussels to take part in the European Union's conference of transport ministers, representing Cyprus in matters related to maritime transportation.

China buys Greece, adds it to growing country portfolio
Posted to Far East Maritime (byGreg Knowler) on June 17, 2010
Under the terms of the agreement, the country can continue to market itself as "Greece" for the foreseeable future.
No purchase price was given, but Chinese officials said they had paid "billions of dollars" for the debt-stricken Mediterranean country earlier this week.
Okay, that's not exactly how it went down, but it may as well have been. Greece is home to the Olympics after all, and after making such a big deal about the Beijing games, China obviously decided Greece is the word, is the word, is the word …
Bad jokes aside, the Chinese government and a suite of businessmen signed 14 investment deals with the country.
Cosco is already expanding two container terminals at the port of Piraeus at a cost of US$4.27 billion. Also in the port city, Chinese construction company BCEGI signed a $135 million deal to develop a hotel and shopping mall complex.
According to reports, other deals include the exchange of know-how between China's Huawei Technologies and the Greek telecoms organisation OTE, and four agreements signed by food firms to export olive oil to China.
China is even planning to buy a hefty stake in the loss-making national rail network, OSE, building an airport on the island of Crete, a logistics centre north of Athens and a marine theme park.
China is confident Greece will emerge from its debt-soaked position and has pledged to stand behind the troubled Mediterranean nation with one hand on its shoulder and the other on the purse strings. But China is no charity organisation and snapped up the 14 deals at what is sure to have been fire sale prices.
In fairness, there is good reason for China boosting its terminal investment in the Med. Asia-Europe container volumes are increasing rapidly and even with a post-peak season slowdown, the forecast for trade between the two regions is positive.
The traditional European gateways of Rotterdam and Hamburg are great for northern EU-bound cargo but Piraeus is closer to southern and eastern Europe. Substantial savings can also be made in shorter transit times and less fuel burn.
So buying Greece is not such a bad move for China. And it can add the country to its growing portfolio that includes most of Africa and the US.

I assume the Feida FE-768 ($25.50) is the tiny HT that the 409Shop teased on Twitter a while back. It looks like an iPhone charger in the second picture. It would be nice if they actually listed the frequencies it used - because they aren't listed as of this post.
Probably UHF but no details... And can't find any other listings on Google.
Also, no programming software or cable yet. According to the e-mail they sent me.
According to the specs, less than 2.5W tx power. How much less? Yaesu only manages 1.5W, and that is using a much larger battery and Japanese engineering from a company with a lot of experience.
Well, I guess that technically 0.25W is technically "≤ 2.5W"
Sorry, but by "Yeasu" I was referring to the VX-3R.
AliExpress lists a Feida 768 programming cable with software for EU15. Looks like the 'usb' on the HT carries a serial signal, like the Hyt PD365 does.
With regards to the M1 - note 409shop lists audio via earphone only -> no room for a speaker!
Have Feida 768. Interesting rig but heads up....no volume nor squelch control. built in voice is quite loud through the built in speaker and ear piece. Software is out there if you want to spend US$17 for the cable(am thinking standard mini usb will work)and software. Antenna is permanent mount.
So is the volume set at one level? Is there no way to adjust volume even through function button?


These are exciting times. Scepticism and optimism intermingle in our communication, interactions and social interactions with each other and the surrounding world. Within this complex world, fashion has its global environmental and social challenges.
In my career, I always aim to establish meaningful interactions. Additionally, I explore and challenge the diversity of individuals, businesses, policymakers and thought leaders, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the world of fashion. I do so by placing a focus on the common ground we all share.
To be relevant and sustainable these days means breaking the rules of existing industries, labels and behaviour. I often see fear of change and fear of technology. However, to innovate, one must keep an open mind and focus on collaboration, even if it means you are outside of your comfort zone.
The concept of MIND FASHION shows us there no longer is a one-size-fits-all approach: We live in a continuously evolving (digital ) environment where needs, interactions and interests morph constantly. Individuals, as well as work environments, can no longer be defined by one 'label'. We need an interdisciplinary approach to advance fashion & design.
For that reason, I was eager to accept the invitation to join MIND FASHION. Most of my work and the essence of STUDIOVEGTER is like MIND FASHION: A focus on connecting inspiring people from various disciplines and levels, who all have amazing ideas and want to address today's [fashion] issues. From classic principles, current developments and future mind shifts to sustainability, retail, education, design innovation and technology, dialogue is necessary to keep ideas flowing and to create positive changes.

Choir is fun because the teacher really gets excited when we do something right. The only annoying thing is the religious music, but that's kind of to be expected in choir since they consider it "classical" or whatever.
Psychology is interesting, but I'm still trying to figure out the teacher. She's pretty sarcastic so she's either pretty funny or seems snobby lol.... It depends.
And I'm still not sure what degree I'm getting.
On the other hand, I might still want an art degree... so yeah haha.
My husband asked me what I would want to do if I only had 6 months to live and was sure I couldn't fail. That would be traveling the world, so I think the hotel business would be best for that. I'm just worried that I like the idea of it more than actually running it, which essentially means I'm afraid of failing.
At least I have about a year to figure it out since I have to take generals first.

The improved Formula "77" is highly recommended for mistcooling any metal or alloy where tougher machining condtions require greater lubricity. It is particularly useful where tool pressure is exceptionally great or where the material is very abrasive. Formula "77" provides the extra lubrication needed to protect the cutting edge of the tool. Formula "77" has been reformulated to provide the same safety for use as Formula "78" where incorporating additional lubricity ingredients for more demanding machining applications. In addition, Formula "77" provides excellent service in most general purpose flood cooling applications. One coolant-Formula "77" - will fill most of your general mist and flood coolant needs. Formula "77" eliminates double coolant inventory, cuts storage space requirements and reduces your costs.
Formula "77" - like Formula "78" - will not cause dermatitis, rancidity, or buildup: and creates no rust or corrosion when diluted with clean water. Workpieces and machine parts remain clean and unstained.
New formula improved after years of research, Formula "78" is a chemical base mist coolant that dissolves in water to a clear solution. It is the most universal mist coolant available.
It can be used on any metal or alloy, and displays high efficiency in the cutting of exotic metals and alloys such as Monel, Inconel, Titanium, etc., as well as all non-ferrous metals. Formula "78" meets all OSHA standards. It is free of halogens and sulfides. It is safe for operators whether in liquid or mist form. Our proprietary formula completely prevents dermatitis and rancidity, and the formulation contains no irritants.
All components for Formula "78" are dissipated into the atmosphere by cutter heat except on; a chemically compounded lubricant that clings to the tool to reduce friction, the prime cause of heat.

The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century changed Christianity forever. Visionary pastors and theologians transformed Christianity which eventually led to the emergence of many Protestant denominations that exist today.
The Reformers were guided by the conviction that the church of their day had hidden the true Gospel, and the original teachings of Christianity found in Scripture, especially in regard to its core teaching about salvation and grace—how people can be forgiven of sin through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and receive eternal life with God. The Reformation sought revive the church and bring its people back to the original message of Jesus and the early church.
The Five Solas are five Latin phrases (or slogans) that were used during the Reformation to summarize the Reformers' theological convictions about the essentials truths of the Christian faith.
Scripture Alone: That Scripture alone (the 39 books of the OT and the 27 books of the NT) is the sole rule and standard for faith and practice before God. (Luke 16:29, 31; 24:27, 44; II Tim. 3:15-16; John 5:46-47) It teaches the Bible alone is the only authority for the elect-redeemed church of Jesus Christ. The supreme judge by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture (WCF 1.10 and 1689 Confession 1.10; Acts 15:15; John 5:46; II Peter 1:19-21; Matt. 22:29-32; Acts 28:23-25; Eph. 2:20; I John 4:1-6; II Peter 1:19-20; II Tim. 3:16; I John 5:9; I Thess. 2:13; Rev. 1:1-2).
Christ Alone: That Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. (Isa. 42:1; I Peter 1:19-20; Acts 3:22; Heb. 5:5-6; Psa. 2:6; Luke 1:33; Eph. 1:22-23; Heb. 1:2; Acts 17:31; Isa. 53:10; John 17:6; Rom. 8:30.) It is not through his own works or on his own merit, that one is saved. Jesus Christ alone is the only Savior of the World, and His work imputed to those men elected from the foundation of the world, and the means alone by which any man may be saved. (Psa. 40:7-8; Heb. 10:5-10; John 10:18; Gal. 4:4; Matt. 3:15; Gal. 3:13; Isa. 53:6; I Peter 3:18; II Cor. 5:21; Matt. 26:37-38; Luke 22:44; Matt. 27:46; Acts 13:37; I Cor. 15:3-4; John 20:25, 27; Mark 16:19; Acts 1:9-11; Rom. 8:34; Heb. 9:24; Acts 10:42; Rom. 14:9-10; Acts 1:11; II Peter 2:4.) To all those for whom Christ obtained eternal redemption, He effectually applies and communicates that work to them by His Holy Spirit. He also makes intercession for them uniting them to Himself by His Spirit, revealing to them, in and by the Word, the mystery of salvation, and persuades them to believe and obey the Gospel. (John 6:37; 10:15-16; 17:9; Rom. 5:10; John 17:6; Eph. 1:9; I John 5:20; Rom. 8:9, 14; Psa. 110:1; I Cor. 15:25-26; John 3:8; Eph. 1:8).
To the Glory of God Alone: Knowing that Man's chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him forever, the Reformers stressed this vital element of accomplishing "all things for God's Glory" since they knew that God decrees all things as a means whereby He may pursue His glory to the uttermost. (Rom. 11:36; I Cor. 10:31; Psa. 73:24-28) God is actively pursuing His own glory, and this active pursuit is seen in His decrees. The subsequent "Solas" are simply one means to that ultimate end. However, keeping this central doctrine upon the mind of the Christian believer is a most important aspect of daily Christian living. Everything the Christian achieves ought to be primarily for the glory of God alone. This "Sola" stressed God's complete sovereignty over every aspect of the created order, as well of every aspect of salvation (Psa. 145:17; 104:24; Isa. 28:29; Heb. 1:8; Psa. 103:19; Matt. 10:29-31; Gen. 45:7; Rom. 11:86; Isa. 43:14).
Consider this sermon on, "The Five Marks of a Biblical Church" from 1 Tim. 3:14-16.


Multi-talented Bebe Daniels had a long career in films, from the early silent age to television.
Born into a theatrical family, "Bebe" was a childhood nickname. She was pushed onstage at age four. With her partents, she toured the country in Richard III; she also had the experience of working with heavyweight producers Oliver Morosco and David Belasco. When the family moved to Los Angeles, Bebe snagged the role of Dorothy Gale in the first strictly film version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz for Selig Polyscope (released in March, in 1910). Several films followed.
In 1915, Daniels was only 14. She accepted a bit part in a "Lonesome Luke" comedy short that Harold Lloyd and Hal Roach were making. The "Luke" films were not catching on, but there was something in Daniels' performance they liked, so they used her as "The Girl" in 50 "Luke" shorts over the next two years.
After Lloyd and Roach dropped their "Lonesome Luke" character, switching to the Harold Lloyd we know today (the "Everyman" character), they brought Daniels along. In 1918 - 1919, she made over 70 more shorts with Lloyd, who was becoming a star — while Daniels' was looking to spread her wings.
In 1919, she got a supporting role in Cecil B. DeMille's Male and Female. (releaased in November, 1919). DeMille kept her on the edges of his films Why Change Your Wife? (released in September, 1920), and The Affairs of Anatol (released in September, 1921). Now under contract at Paramount, Daniels was groomed for the Big Time; they refashioning her into a dramatic actress, starring her in films like The World's Applause with Adolphe Menjou (released in January, 1923). This process culminated in her co-starring with Rudolph Valentino in Monsieur Beaucaire (released in August, 1924).
For the rest of the silent period, Daniels starred in a variety of films. Crime: The Splendid Crime (released in January, 1925); comedy: Swim Girl, Swim (released in September, 1927); or romance: She's a Sheik (released in November, 1927). Her last film for Paramount was What a Night! (released in December, 1928). After that, Paramount dropped her.
At the beginning of the sound era, Damiels was picked up by that upstart, R-K-O Radio Pictures, who immediately put her in their musical/western Rio Rita (released in September, 1929), giving her top billing. It was a huge hit for the fledgling studio, who placed her in more musicals: Love Comes Along (released in 1930), and Dixiana (released in 1930). She was loaned out to appear with Douglas Fairbanks in the musical (!) Reaching for the Moon (released in February, 1930). Daniels was good enough to be asked to make some recordings for RCA Victor.
Despite this, Daniels jumped ship, moving over to Warner Bros. There, she starred as the femme fatale in the first film version of The Maltese Falcon (released in June, 1931), and starred in the iconic musical 42nd Street with Warner Baxter (released in March, 1933). Another notable film was Counsellor at Law with John Barrymore (released in December, 1933).
Daniels "retired" in 1935, moving with her husband Ben Lyon to London, where they raised their two children. In 1940, Daniels, Lyon, and their children were part of a BBC radio programme called Hi Gang!, which was so successful, that a feature film was released in December, 1941. The radio show ran until 1949. In 1943, Daniels starred in the West End production of Cole Porter's Panama Hattie. in 1950, Hi Gang! was retooled to become Life with the Lyons, which featured the Lyon family as Americans living in England. In 1955, a film version called The Lyons in Paris (released in February, 1955) set the stage for the television version of the programme, where it ran for five seasons.
Daniels suffered a stroke in 1963, and was never seen again in public. She died of a cerebral hemorrage in London, at the age of 70.

Q: What's the cleanest implementation of this container of typed containers? I have different types, say A, B, C, that all inherit from some base class Base:
class Base { ... };
class A : public Base { ... };
class B : public Base { ... };
class C : public Base { ... };

I need a container, let's call it Master, that holds pointers to objects of types A, B and C. I want the Master container to provide an iterator over all contained Base objects, as well as specifically-typed iterators over all contained A, B and C objects. As a storage backend, I'll be using std::vector, but it would be nice if this can be switched easily later on.
Conceptually, this is the interface that Master should present to the outside world:
class Master {

  public:

    add(A *a);
    add(B *b);
    add(C *c);

    remove(Base *base);

    iterator<A*> a_begin();
    iterator<A*> a_end();
    iterator<B*> b_begin();
    iterator<B*> b_end();
    iterator<C*> c_begin();
    iterator<C*> c_end();
    iterator<Base*> base_begin();
    iterator<Base*> base_end();
    // also: reverse iterators, const iterators, reverse const iterators
};

The interface does not have to match this precise syntax. For example, someMaster.begin<A>() is perfectly fine too.
The trouble is, even in this simplified interface, you can already see some code duplication happening. It's much worse in the implementation. This is unacceptable, because I want to be able to extend the Master container easily later on, if I want to add classes D, E and F (also inheriting from Base). Preferably, I would like to extend it with just one or two lines of code.
All this could be implemented with lots of dynamic_casting, but that's ugly. I think some magic with templates and multiple inheritance could help me out here. What would be the cleanest implementation of this class?

A: Firstly you should look at Boost.Variant.
It allows you to store multiple unrelated objects in a container.
The iterator himself has to try to boost::get<T>() for his type to reach to the next object of type T.
If the object is not of type T, iterate forward.
If you want to iterate all objects, just return a variant of those objects, that way A, B and C don't have to be related to Base if you don't need them to or just a pointer to Base if all usecases will have a common base class.

A: Here's a sketch of what I would do:
// Beware, brain-compiled code ahead
template< typename T >
class typed_container
{
  typedef std::vector<T> data_t;
public:
  typedef data_t::iterator iterator;
  iterator begin() {return data_.begin();}
  iterator end  () {return data_.end();}
private:
  data_t data_;
};

typedef my_type_list<A,B,C> types_t;

class master : public derive_from< typed_container, types_t > {
  template< typename T >
  struct traits {
    typedef typename typed_container<T>::iterator iterator;
    iterator begin(typed_container<T>& c) {return c.begin();}
    iterator end  (typed_container<T>& c) {return c.end  ();}
  };
public:
  template< typename T >
  typename traits<T>::iterator begin() {return traits<T>::begin(*this);}
  template< typename T >
  typename traits<T>::iterator end  () {return traits<T>::end  (*this);}

  typedef my_assembling_iterator<types_t> iterator;

  iterator begin() {return my_assembling_iterator<types_t>.begin(*this);}
  iterator end  () {return my_assembling_iterator<types_t>.end  (*this);}
};

That leaves you to implement my_type_list (rather simple), derive_from (not as simple, but not too hard either), and my_assembling_iterator (I hadn't had a need to do something like that yet).

You can find a working C++03 type list implementation here. It only takes up to nine template arguments (but that's easily extended), and you'll have to write
typedef my_type_list<A,B,C>::result_t types_t

but it's simple and free and I know it works (because I'm using this library myself).
The derive_from template would look something like this:
//Beware, brain-compiled code ahead!
template< template<typename> class C, class  >
struct derive_from;

template< template<typename> class C >
struct derive_from< C, nil > {};

template< template<typename> class C, typename Head, typename Tail >
struct derive_from< C, my_type_list<Head,Tail> > : public C<Head>
                                                 , public derive_from<C,Tail> {};

That leaves the iterator. What are your needs regarding it? Does it have to be a random-access iterator (hard) or would a forward iterator suffice? Do you need any particular order to iterate over the elements?

A: Why not RTTI + boost filter_iterator ? People are usually afraid of RTTI but a filter_iterator with a template filter comparing two type_infos would be just fine.

A: I see at least two issues here:
How to avoid the 'redundancy' in the interface?
The master class has some functions which seem redundant (a_begin/a_end vs. b_begin/b_end vs. c_begin/c_end). My first suggestion is to use Java-style iterators in this case, so that you move the end functions out of the interface of master into the respective iterators.
Consider this example:
master *m = ..;
master::iterator<A*> a = m->getA():
while ( a->hasNext() ) {
    A *current = a->next();
    current->doSomething()
}

That way, you have just one iterator getter per concrete type (A, B, C).
I suspect that with some thinking, the iterator getter could maybe be a member template, so that you have just one get() template and be able to say m->get<A>(). For performance reasons, you'd specialize those getters to just iterate over specific containers (see below), I guess.
How to make the iterators iterate efficiently?
The Base iterator should iterate over all contained objects, the concrete iterators should only iterate over subsets of the contained objects. Do do this, I suggest to make master contain multiple std::vector objects, one per concrete type.
Your A iterator could then iterate over the vector containing all the A*, same for the other concrete types. The Base iterator would simply iterate over all containers, treating them as one continuous container.

The Fiesta Americana exceeded out expectations. We loved the layout and the proximity to the beach.
This hotel just turned all inclusive. Every restaurant was 5-star + quality! Not the cheap buffet food of our resorts. Top shelf alcohol, Grey Goose Vodka, Sapphire Gin, Cabo Wabo Tequelia, and more! Lunch would have been $70, but all-inclusive. Dinner $120 a person, but all-inclusive. Get there soon before they realize they can't sustain this level of elegance.
The resort was clean and well kept. The service was excellent- always professional and polite. They did their best to accommodate any and all requests that we had. The food was very good - especially the lunch and dinners. It was like waking up in paradise every day. The evening entertainment around the fire pit at night was excellent.
We really enjoyed our stay at Grand Fiesta Americana. This was the first time to Los Cabos. Our room was comfortable. The food was good, we especially liked the tacos near the pool. We hope to return soon.
My wife and I traveled with another couple, and spent a week at the Grand Fiesta Americana. We all really enjoyed the hotel, the staff, and the food. The restaurant options were perfect for us. Our favorite was the Sushi Bar for food, and the Chocolate Tamale from La Mexican restaurant for desert. The spa was very nice, we both had massages. It was a little pricier than what I have paid in the past, but was a very good massage. We enjoyed the fact that they had an adults only pool area with swim up bar. I would say the only down sides were that our Deluxe Ocean View room was more of a pool view with palm trees, with small spots of ocean visible in between. There was also one day they did not replace our bath towels, which was only a small inconvenience, as the concierge was able to bring more in about 15 minutes. Overall, this is one of the nicer hotels we have stayed at.
Loved the Grand Fiesta Americana hotel and property. Beautiful beach setting. The waves crashing, swaying palm trees and signing birds were delightful sounds everyday. Staff was very friendly and courteous. Room was nice size and very clean. Very comfortable bedding. Food was amazing and endless options for drinks by the pool.
Awesome resort - well worth the trip!
Wife and I loved the resort, everyone was more than willing to service any request or need. Food was delicious, excellent variety of food and beverages all around the resort! Highly recommend the Grand Fiesta Americana in Los Cabos!


Brief description The project aims to develop the theory and technology for a novel type of antennas, namely, reconfigurable conformal antenna arrays, for future broadband in the sky networks (BISNets). BISNets are essential to providing digital services to users on the move and in remote areas. The antenna would be conformal to the surface of the mounting platform, and its elements would be reconfigured in situ to generate the optimum radiation characteristics to suit the radio environment. It is expected that the project would advance the scientific knowledge of space-borne wireless communications and sensing in general, and antennas in particular, and significantly enhance the performance and reduce the cost of BISNets.


Cut your baked potato on the grill cooking time in half using our baked potato grill. Simply insert your small or large potato into one of the four non-stick coated prongs and set it on the grill. The secret is the metal rack conducts heat from the grill and then cooks the potato from the inside. Buy one for yourself and grab an extra for friends and never struggle to cook a baked potato on the grill again.

#myDSPstory: Justin Taylor
Experiencing employment
Meet Margaret!
Published by Anna Jeffries on July 3, 2018
DSP Employment Connections
Newark Resident Homes
Justin Taylor has been a DSP at Newark Resident Homes for three years.
One of Justin Taylor's most memorable moments as a direct support professional happened in a doctor's office.
A man Justin was supporting had a 27-year streak of refusing to give a blood sample. But with Justin by his side at the appointment, he had to courage to complete the procedure.
Justin's coworkers at Newark Resident Homes were blown away. But Justin just sees it as an example of why he loves being a direct support professional, or DSP. He has had the opportunity to create meaningful relationships with the people he supports — who he considers members of his extended family.
A retired MMA fighter, Justin said he struggled from an early age without family support. A turning point came for him when he had to do community service through Licking Valley High School and began helping out in a special education classroom.
After working as a furniture mover and a truck driver, he started as a DSP at Newark Resident Homes three years ago.
Once he started, he fell in love with the profession because of the people he was supporting — as well as his coworkers.
A few months after he was hired at NRH, his coworkers threw him a baby shower which helped his family get what they needed for their new daughter.
Since then, Justin, his wife and his three girls have become a part of the NRH family, which includes his fellow DSPs and the people they support.
Justin is passionate about community integration and wants the people he supports to have the same experiences he enjoys. They listen to music, go to baseball games, work out and meet friends for pizza. He's excited about planning a guys night at BW3s to watch football.
When Justin realized he had found a profession he enjoyed, he began working to expand his skills. He recently completed certificate of initial proficiency and certificate of advanced proficiency classes through the Licking County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
He's currently taking classes at Ohio State University to get his bachelor's degree in nursing.
Justin said he wants to learn as much as he can, to continue to support the people he cares about.
